    2 Crucial Ways God Is Revealing Himself in This Season

    If I receive more input from social media than I do the Word of God, my discouragement is self-inflicted. I owe myself a better approach to life than to live under the influence of what the devil thinks and does. The enemy of our souls loves our attention—even negative attention. It is strange to me

    How Psalm 91 Teaches Us to Pray Through Life’s Trials

    Look to God’s Word when trials and impossibilities come your way. Whether we are facing a personal issue or a pandemic like COVID-19 really doesn’t matter. Our response is to live, think and pray according to God’s Word. In the New King James Version, Psalm 91 is entitled “Safety of Abiding in the Presence of

    When Great Men of God Stop Chasing After His Heart

    I love reformers. These people courageously live by the principles forgotten by the masses. Their resolve enables them to withstand opposition and push into the promises of God that everybody wants but few are willing to pay the price to obtain. They live with great risk so that a future generation will know what it

    Bill Johnson: How God Uses Offense to Fulfill His Plans for You

    The extent of a person’s influence and leadership can often be measured by what it takes to offend them. While I don’t like it when people use this excuse to be rude and abrasive, the point remains, and it remains true. True leaders—those who have embraced their promotions well—are not easily offended. But those who

    Bill Johnson: Don’t Apologize for God’s Favor

    I am a fifth-generation pastor on my dad’s side of the family, and fourth on my mom’s. My children are sixth- and fifth-generation, respectively, in our positions of ministry. We have an unusual family in that regard. Everyone I can think of is a follower of Jesus. But lest I give the wrong idea of

    Bill Johnson: The Promotion Worth Pursuing

    Promotion is how we advance in position, rank and influence. And though titles don’t always reflect our significance in the kingdom of God, they can be measurements by which we see our role to the world around us. But what must be maintained as a value of the kingdom is that the only promotion worth

    Bill Johnson: How You Should Steward the Favor of God

    One of the most unusual principles I’ve seen in Scripture is that we have the ability to increase the favor or grace upon another person’s life. This is the process of stewarding the favor on our lives for the benefit of another. This is a fantastic example of using favor to benefit another. But the

    Bill Johnson: Psalm 91 Praying Solutions in Times of Crisis

    Look to God’s Word when trials and impossibilities come your way. We must find out what God is saying in His Word. We must turn our attention to Him that we might contribute to the solution rather than exaggerate the problem. Whether we are facing a personal, health or financial issue, an international conflict or

    Bill Johnson: When God’s Light Shines the Brightest

    Our worldview is always shaped by our view of God. Who is He? What is He like? What has He designed us to be? The answers to questions like these determine what we expect to happen in our lifetime and how we should then live. Our view of God is not merely philosophical. It is

    Prophet: Feeding Your Faith in Times of Uncertainty

    My wife and I love to work out, especially by lifting weights. In this season of my life, almost all of my workouts are in the morning. But when I started around 30 years ago, my workouts were all in the late afternoon. I noticed something I didn’t expect: My strength and endurance were affected

    3 Keys to Strengthen Yourself in the Lord

    David’s life shows us that the ability to strengthen and minister to ourselves is a vital skill that we must learn if we are going to develop the character to fulfill our potential as kings and priests. It is impossible for anyone to reach his ultimate destiny in life without learning to minister to himself.

    No Expectations: Be Still and Experience God

    I love the privilege of spending time with God—the more the better. Being still before Him is an often-underrated activity by those of us who like to accomplish and achieve things in prayer for the King and His kingdom. This is how it looks for me. Sometimes I’ll take just a few minutes in the

    Bill Johnson: Going Face to Face With God

    The air is pregnant with possibility—can you feel it? Heaven itself is longing to invade the natural realm. Darkness may cover the earth, but God’s glory upon His people is becoming more and more realized, bringing hope to the most hopeless situations. God is opening up His treasure house of truth and releasing it all

    Bill Johnson: The Secret to Walking in Extraordinary Miracles

    John 14:12 extends an incredible invitation to all believers throughout all generations. Jesus tells us, “Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these, because I am going to My Father.” There was a time in the
