A Baptism of Courage – Bill Johnson (Full Sermon) | Bethel Church

Do you need courage? Bill Johnson exhorts us to press in for a baptism of courage in this season. Courage is vital as we co-labor with God through prayer, and walk with wisdom and understanding in these times.

thank you

thanks thanks nice to see you

that that camera bar back there i

thought it was a tennis net and i

thought man we got tennis in here that’s

awesome

that would make some people very happy

all right

nice to see i i get here right now in

this season about every other week so

i’m sure you weren’t here last week but

it’s nice you showed up when i was here

so

it’s good to have you

and bless our online community we’re so

thrilled to be able to have friends and

family really around the world so we

honor and bless you as well

well well well i do have some funny

things to read and

that seems to be actually

in the first service today i just kind

of wanted to do that the entire time for

about 30 minutes

and sometimes it’s just that kind of a

day and

i’m not guaranteeing anything today i

just want you to know

and and they’re all old

so just pretend they’re new

actually i have one new one

a man and his wife his mother-in-law

went on a vacation to the holy land

while they were there the mother-in-law

passed away

the undertaker told him you can have her

shipped from home for five thousand

dollars or you can bury her here in the

holy land for a hundred and fifty

dollars

the man thought about it and told him

he’d just soon have her shipped home

the undertaker asked why would you spend

five thousand dollars to ship

your mother-in-law home when you it

would be wonderful to have her buried

here and spent only 150 dollars

the man replied a man died here 2 000

years ago he was buried here

three days later he rose from the dead

i just can’t take that chance

[Applause]

i’ll give you another chance

a baptist minister

a baptist preacher went to see a member

of the community invited him to come to

church on sunday morning the man was a

producer of fine peach brandy and he

told the preacher he’d love to attend

his church if the pastor would drink

some of his brandy and admit it in front

of the congregation

in kindness the preacher agreed had a

small glass sunday morning came and the

man came to church

the preacher recognized him from the

pulpit and said i see mr jones is here

with us this morning i want to thank him

publicly for his hospitality this week

and especially for the peaches he gave

me and the spirit in which they were

given

[Applause]

my friends up all right

three friends from the local

congregation were asked when you’re in

your casket

and your friends and congregation

members are mourning over you

what would you like for them to say

daniel said i would like them to say i

was a wonderful husband a fine spiritual

leader and a great family man roger

commented i’d like them to say i was a

wonderful teacher and a servant of god

who made a huge difference in people’s

life

frank said i’d like for them to say look

he’s moving

[Applause]

no

i’m gonna do one more i’ve never i’ve

never done this one before

this this is this is yeah

yeah and and uh this is yeah

socialism

you have two cows

the state takes one gives it to your

neighbor who doesn’t have a field to put

it in

[Applause]

communism you have two cows the state

takes both gives you some milk then the

cows die due to neglect

fascism you have two cows the state

takes both sells you some milk the cows

die in the war

nazism you have two cows the state takes

both and shoots you

this this one is to offend everybody

within

reach then the cows are killed in the

war

traditional capitalism you have two cows

you sell one by a bull the herd

multiplies the economy grows you sell

them and retire on the income

i have the whole front row is

interceding for me right

in the nuremberg trials

one of the

men on trial was asked

the question how did

how did you get the people of germany to

buy into your your deal was i’m

paraphrasing

and they said it was easy it has nothing

to do with nazism

it has to do with

fear can control people if you can get

them to be afraid

and

the tool that the enemy has been using

ever since i mean way back

to the garden i mean it goes out far

back but there’s been an intensity level

that has increased dramatically in the

last 18 months

and the effort to control the values and

thoughts the conduct of people through

fear

is extraordinary

um

i’m not a fan of socialism

i have friends who are but i’m not one

of them

socialism

is communism in diapers

it wins and i’m i’m not looking for any

applause or any

you know support i’m i just want to make

some statements and knowing that it’ll

sit well of some and it won’t sit so

well with others but just at least we

can maybe think

socialism um

has an over emphasis on government

at the expense of human responsibility

humanism is the religion of socialism

socialism worships at the shrine of

human rights over response human

responsibility

and human rights are valuable but they

never can exceed human responsibility or

you end up in a moral decline

and it’s vital that you and i

understand what’s

at hand and to

we battle not against flesh and blood

the

goal is not to

incite some

sort of activist movement where we

you know

launch verbal

abuses towards people who disagree

that’s nonsense because that’s playing

on the devil’s field

when you play on the devil’s field

you can’t win

we can only win on his field

and it’s the beauty the wonder of the

gospel the gospel has answers and

solutions for every single human dilemma

there are people in their heart of

hearts who want to succeed but don’t

know how

and so out of fear they buy into a

system that promises them bread tomorrow

here’s the

i’m going to talk just a few minutes on

this and then we’ll actually open the

bible and talk about something else

so i’ll give you a chance to get

cleansed by the word

and all of you that are hurt by my words

you’ll recover i promise

if

if somebody’s in need over here if i

take your car and i give it to somebody

who doesn’t have a car

me as government calls that compassion

but it’s not compassion until i give my

car

there’s many things that slide under an

illusion of compassion and justice and

they’re actually the opposite

and

my burden for this hour for this day is

that as a people

we could be discerning and understanding

what’s actually happening if you take

the last 40 years

and you look at history in the united

states and in the nations around the

world you’ll see a slow steady march

towards a one world government

i’m not saying we’re close to it i’m

just saying we’re closer than we’ve ever

been

here let me just if i haven’t offended

everyone yet give me a moment

give me a moment

i’m i’m trying i’m trying

yeah all right so

with the mark of the beast

you can’t buy

or sell

or do business

and without a vaccine

they want you to not be able to buy

or sell

or do business

now i’m not opposing vaccines

i’m just saying this is an interesting

dress rehearsal

for a bigger issue in the future

and we’ve just got to be careful what we

buy into

not everything you buy into today that

will bless you

let me rephrase it some of the things

you buy into today will cost you

tomorrow

wisdom

the lord said the bible says the lord

prospers his servant he adds no sorrow

to it so when the lord does it there’s

no balloon payment

does that make sense there’s not like oh

no when is something bad going to happen

he doesn’t work that way

when he imparts the blessing to somebody

it comes with sustainability

in its in its system

socialism is funded by entitlement

and there are many of us in this room

that would be 100

opposed to socialism but have married

the spirit of entitlement

and what you have going on on the inside

is actually what creates the room for

socialism on the outside

and it’s walking with that kind of

wisdom that resolve to honor the lord

with everything you are everything you

have

in a way that is responsible

the lord is so interested in increase

that when the guy who had the talent in

scripture you remember the five talents

of two the one

he says you could have at least put it

in a bank and gained interest everything

was about increase

it’s not about what you were given it’s

about what you produce

and i realize that that can be taken to

an extreme where we create a works

uh oriented environment and i i’m not

interested in that but it’s still true

it’s still true that god rewards

according to productivity

as we’ve stated a number of times i know

i’ve heard chris do it i’ve done it a

few times as well that

the promised land is an interesting

place

because it wasn’t where they went and

sat on a beach sipped iced tea

and waited for jesus to return they

actually had to go in

in the wilderness they picked up the man

off the ground they followed a cloud not

much else to do in the promised land

they had to plant crops they had to

harvest they had to work with herds they

had to do all that stuff

the point is

is we are never more fully alive than

what than when we are walking in our

divine assignment producing things for

his glory that is what we are wired for

now it’s the privilege of a of a culture

to care for those who are disabled

especially war veterans who cannot

hold down a normal job anymore it is our

responsibility to care for them those

who are mentally disabled cannot

function it is the privilege i’m not poo

pooing all uh government stuff

but i’m just saying

socialism is like fire i think i already

said it it’s like the fire of proverbs

it never says enough

it never says enough there is no end to

its increase of power and this is where

as a people first of all we pray

secondly

i’ve heard christians say forgive me

because this is probably something most

all of us have said but i’ve heard

people say well there’s no no political

leader is my savior

well i don’t know one christian that

ever thought of any political leader as

ever being able to save them

but unfortunately that statement is

usually not always but usually made by

somebody who doesn’t want to vote or

they just don’t want to take godly

counsel for how they vote

[Applause]

all right

i need a drink before i finish this

so we have responsibility

to understand to articulate

now listen carefully

righteously resist

learn how to intercede and pray

to understand what the challenges are to

make sure that it’s fixed in here first

i uh

i have

uh the highest status

you can get with

the airline that i fly with

they don’t even tell you how you can get

it

there are statuses that you get by many

miles but there’s one status they don’t

even tell you about

you have to be invited

i’ve been invited

i’ve been in there for years i’m i’m

thankful

and uh sometimes what happens is i will

land late somewhere and there’s a short

time between

where i landed and where i’ve got to get

and they will meet me right off the

plane with a sign they said you’re mr

johnson yes come with me they’ll take me

down onto the tarmac they put me in a

mercedes they drive me to the next gate

it’s wonderful

[Applause]

until

i’m really late

on a flight i’ve got a short time and

they’re not there

is anybody catching the picture here all

of a sudden a gift they gave gave me

is one that i expect

i’ve been i’ve been treated rudely on a

plane once and i thought i just need to

pull out my status card to show them

what they do who they just talk to

one guy oh goodness

i won’t tell you what happened he just

he just was extremely rude

and he said

you’re no different than any other

pastor

and i said

we’ll see

[Laughter]

[Applause]

then i think he looked on his chart to

see who i was

and my status

and that guy could not do enough for me

the rest of the fight to take care

you know

you you get into these places of favor

and blessing and increase

and it creates an appetite

that if you’re not careful

you can actually think you earned it

now i could say i’ll i have that status

because we spent this amount of dollars

and uh and that’s how the airline takes

care of those who spend that much money

because of all the flying that i do

there’s a lot of arguments you can make

in your head for why you deserve

something

and it’s that entitlement that has

actually created the spirit of socialism

in the land

and if we can deal with it here

we’ll be positioned correctly to deal

with it out here

does that make any sense all right

all right that’s all i’m

[Applause]

doing i love my bible yes i do i love my

bible

um

our friends love their

socialist government

as long as

they’re being blessed

but as soon as they say you can’t leave

your house for two weeks

it’s not as fun

and there’s there’s something about

control

that we’ve got to be careful we don’t

succumb to

and um

yeah i’m i’m just i’m just deeply

concerned it’s what i talk to the lord

about it’s what i pray about and i pray

that uh i was i did an interview on

a tv program here a week or so ago and

the guy that was doing the interview

said if you could speak to the leaders

of our nation it was a different country

if you could speak to the leaders of our

nation what would you

what would you say to them

and i said get a backbone

get them back home

go to the back

[Applause]

applause of any kind i’m looking for

for

thinking and responsibility

um

it

amen

um

it’s it’s important that we know how

we know how to recognize the root of

something

that’s in the political system without

picking up a political spirit

and as soon as you do that you will get

labeled you’ll be called all kinds of

names

but people give labels so they can

disqualify your voice

and it’s just going to take courage i

feel like what the lord’s wanting from

us in this season is a baptism of

courage

to really pray in a new season so that’s

why don’t you stand we’re going to pray

on that i let you get all cleansed and

cleaned up from what i just said and

then we’ll get into the word

see what happens here all right

so uh lord i do pray for a true baptism

of courage that you’d help us to live

with wisdom and understanding to know

the times the seasons that we are in

and and what your response is to a given

problem not just

what we arrive at emotionally through

our own frustration but true kingdom

response that we can be builders and not

just destroyers that we can be restorers

and not just confronters i pray for this

in jesus name amen amen all right go

ahead and uh turn to somebody and tell

them you really needed that

all right

[Applause]

all right open your bibles if you would

first samuel

chapter 1 for samuel 1.

now there are many who would say

that um

jesus didn’t train his disciples

in these kinds of things instead he

taught them how to

survive in existing governmental

settings and that is that is absolutely

true

he taught how the

employees should respond and the

soldiers should respond and the slaves

should respond and all that he taught

them how to do kingdom in the

environment they’re in

but i also remind you that he told them

the kingdom of heaven is like 11. it is

not 11 as a philosophy it is leaven as

that which helps to redefine the

environment that you’re in he also said

that we are light and that we are um

salt and it’s all all three of these

elements affect their surroundings and

so what the lord is wanting for us is to

not raise up a political movement but

instead to raise up a servant-hearted

movement where we get into the systems

and love people well and allow kingdom

to truly bring about change i’m just

trying to identify some of the things

that i feel like that the enemy has

he he has um

he uses justice and compassion

as false fronts

for the for the real trojan horse that

brings in

this onslaught of demonic chaos and loss

and

so i i said i was done apparently i

wasn’t now i am

all right

[Applause]

all right

i may talk about this again i won’t

announce it ahead of time because i want

to make sure you show up

so

it’ll just be a surprise that’s what

it’ll be

i do believe

that the the lord is

giving us the opportunity

the invitation if you will

to give birth to a new season

i believe i believe it’s of the lord but

i do believe it will take courage in

prayer

now we’ve talked about prayer more in

the last year

than probably any five years that i’ve

been here i know that i’ve done it over

and over again many of the team our

sunday night meetings have been focused

on prayer and it’s not an accident it’s

uh tragic in some ways i wish i could

erase everything everybody knew about

prayer and start over because we’ve

we’ve got it so confined to our

religious activity

that we’ve lost the fact that it’s

actually like breath

it’s breathing

when he said pray without ceasing he’s

basically saying it’s the same as

breathing just do it all the time

just make it the normal expression of

who you are where you’re in life all

moments are good moments to pray

and it’s not special words it’s not it’s

not that sort of thing it’s it’s not

this professional sounding uh petition

it is a communion with god that

sometimes has words

but i believe that the lord i feel like

we’re on the edge of it and it keeps

standing over these edges

i have intercedes praying for me just

because i stand over the edge yes

we’re on the edge of

a significant breakthrough

in culture

in the manifestations of revival

in a way we’ve never seen before and i

feel like i feel on the edge

not quite in the place of transition

women where you push but close to that

point where we’re about to get delivery

to something that we’ve not yet seen

before

and it is it will require

courageous kind of praying

that is

that for many is going to be foreign to

you

and so that’s what i want to talk about

not not in any kind of a you lack here

or something just an invitation

there’s a story with hannah

hannah is uh this woman

um who’s married

uh who has no children

and she wants

children really bad

and so let’s just pick up the story in

chapter one we’ll just start with verse

two i’m going to read quite a few verses

so just follow follow along if you would

please

um and he had two wives the name of one

was hannah the name of the other was

panina

and penang or penina however had no

children but excuse me had children but

hannah had no children

um verse five but to hannah he would

give a double portion for he loved

hannah although the lord had closed her

womb

and her rival

also provoked her severely to make her

miserable

because the lord had closed her womb

and so it was year by year

she went up to the house of the lord

she provoked her therefore she wept and

did not eat

verse eight then elkanah her husband

said to her hannah why do you weep why

do you not eat

why is your heart grieved am i not

better to you than 10 sons

a question she never answered

smart woman right there

and hannah arose after they had finished

eating and drinking in shiloh eli the

priest was sitting on the seat by the

doorpost of the tabernacle of the lord

and she being hannah

was in bitterness of soul

and prayed to the lord and wept in

anguish then

she made a vow

and said to the lord of hosts if you

will indeed look on the affliction of

your made servant and remember me

and not forget your maidservant but will

give your maidservant a male child then

i will give him to the lord all the days

of his life

and no razor shall come upon his head

that’s a nazarite vow

and it happened as she continued praying

before the lord that eli watched her

mouth now hannah spoke in her heart but

her only her lips moved but her voice

was not heard

therefore eli thought she was drunk

eli said to her how long will you be

drunk put your wine away from you

hannah answered and said no my lord i am

a woman of sorrowful spirit i have drunk

neither wine nor intoxicating drink but

i poured out my soul before the lord do

not consider your maidservant a wicked

woman for out of the abundance of my

complaint in grief i have spoken until

now

last verse then eli answered and said go

in peace for the god of israel grant

your position a petition which you have

asked of him

this is um

this is an extraordinary story

and it

underlines emphasizes to me the purpose

behind persistent prayer because we have

biblically

i want to do this in a future date we

biblically have

mandates to pray once and don’t ask

again

and we have mandates to pray and

continue asking and both

actually the one chapter

apart jesus taught them both there’s a

purpose for each

what i don’t want to get into

into the differences i do want to

highlight this one here the purpose for

persistent prayer

in my thinking is one of two things

there are demonic powers involved and

that persistence helps to break that

down the second is

i need to be changed into the person

that can handle and steward the answer

well

a lot of the things that we pray for if

they were given to us immediately

we would not manage them well

we would not manage them well at all

much of what we taste of the will of god

in our life much of what we inherit or

taste or actually experience is

determined by what we’ve become

much of what we experience

in our walk with the lord the

breakthroughs the answers to prayer the

extraordinary events that take place in

our life much of what we experience is

determined by what we’ve become

and that becoming

takes place often in that kind of

praying

it’s the kind of praying

that you’re embarrassed about

but you just don’t care enough anymore

normally you’d be embarrassed it’s the

it’s the kind of anguish of soul

that it no longer matters

how you appear to somebody else

it’s it’s not

it’s not making a scene

to get attention

it’s not that at all it’s that

i am so absorbed in that which god has

put in my heart i’ve got to have

breakthrough or i think i’ll die

you see that kind of praying throughout

history if you’ve done any reading

on some of the great revivals in history

oftentimes people would come to that

kind of

moment in prayer they no longer care

cared about anything at all they they

didn’t care if they ever ate again they

never they didn’t care they just didn’t

care about all these things that two

days ago maybe really consumed their

attention but at this moment in time the

only thing that matters is that thing

for which god has laid hold of my life

and i will not settle for anything else

and we have that kind of a moment here

hannah doesn’t know

when her breakthrough will come

we know that it’s been years

i would assume

because of the way she’s responding here

that she has prayed the prayer

to have children

for many many years

we know her competitor

the other wife has had many so that we

know it’s it’s years

of barrenness

i don’t know how long i don’t know what

kind of prayer she prayed but

it would be it would stand to reason

that she’s prayed this prayer before

but something happened

in this praying

it was the old-timers would talk about

this kind of prayers is i i was on the

stretch

in the picture is i was all laid out

reaching for that which god has promised

and there are many people uh

those who know better than you would

tell you you don’t need to do that

because it’s already all yours

and it’s true

i have been blessed with every spiritual

blessing in heavenly places in christ it

is all mine it is absolutely true

ephesians 1 declares it john 16 declares

it it is all mine the problem is it’s in

my account and not my possession

and oftentimes what is withdrawn from my

account that he has laid aside for me is

not released to me until i actually

become what is necessary for me to

become to not blow it with that blessing

that god has given me

we’ve seen it throughout history look at

the kings in scripture how many times

did we see a king inherit the throne and

then drive it into the ground within a

few years of his of his reign what

happened he wasn’t he wasn’t equal in

character to the weightiness of his

assignment

and it is sure destruction when that

takes place

all of us have things in our heart that

we’ve ate for i doubt there’s a person

in the room that has not prayed a big

prayer a great thing that would happen

in your lifetime that you would see in

your lifetime that we would experience

together and those are god-born prayers

but great things don’t generally come

out of prayers of convenience

there’s something about

costly

praying i don’t mean i don’t mean

drawing attention i don’t mean that

i don’t mean i’m on my next day of

fasting and i know i’m going to get i

don’t mean that

i mean the kind

that were it’s

it’s you and the lord there’s something

about difficulty that helps you come

face to face with the reality i really

am in this to know him i’m not just in

this to be a blessed person

and difficulty

separates those two groups of people

some they’re gone as soon as the

blessings stop the glitter stops falling

from the ceiling the

you know the

whatever it is the next thing that

they’re looking for to happen they’re on

their way to find another blessing

but those who follow jesus

when difficulty comes

it’s the time that we intensify the cry

god

you said

you said and here she is praying things

she can’t even utter there was no

words for

she was just in anger her lips are

moving but her heart is in deep deep

anguish and she is she’s late

athletes will say i left it all on the

field which means i gave 110 there’s

nothing else i could have done to help

us win that game it’s all out on the

field and it’s that kind of a praying

we don’t know if there was a crowd there

we don’t know if eli was even there the

whole time he may have walked in after

she was there for a while we don’t know

all we know is she put her all on the

line and it was that kind of praying

that positioned her for his kind of

solution

because here’s the deal

as mario marilla told us years ago

she wanted a son

god wanted a prophet

and when though when she was willing to

align with god’s heart

she got the breakthrough

and that’s what the anguish of soul does

it puts you in a position like hannah

hannah

is now going to give back to god the

very thing he gave to her at the age of

five she takes samuel the son who came

from this to the temple

to be the prophet of the lord for israel

extraordinary story yeah

that’s what abraham did

he had to put isaac on the altar

sometimes you have to take the very

thing you ache for

and realize

i just want to be a part of what you’re

doing if i have to give it back i’ll

give it back i just want to be in the

center of the work of god on the planet

and i will put back into your hands the

very thing you give to me

it’s it’s the process of living

abandoned

to him it’s the process of living

on the stretch again in that place where

sometimes it’s not even words sometimes

it’s just the anguish the pain of the

heart

it doesn’t mean we live in that place of

of continued discouragement or whatever

it’s i’m not inviting people that i’m

just saying

pick your moments

and when god has put that thing in your

heart get before him

and pour it all out on the field let it

all be out there and lay hold of that

which that which god has promised

every one of us need

those kinds of moments i don’t think i

don’t think that’s an everyday kind of

praying i don’t i i wouldn’t

i wouldn’t count i wouldn’t put that on

you

but i would say

everybody needs

that season in their life

at some time

where nothing

else will do

nothing nothing will satisfy

nothing else will do

oh

my cry

for you and for me

is for

baptism

in courage

is that is that backbone

it’s that backbone to stand when others

don’t stand

it’s the backbone that just says you

know what

i don’t look like much of a winner right

now

but i’ve come too far to quit

i must hold to what god has said

and if i come to the end of my life

and my cry was unfulfilled

then i pray my children

will pick it up and see it to

fulfillment

we all have a purpose for breakthrough

in the earth

the lord described us as salt and light

and the kingdom is leaven to have impact

and effect on surroundings

it’s not through political anger and

that stuff it’s

it’s by loving people well

but moving intelligently and

intentionally to bring about change

all right that’s probably enough

you survived congratulations

you all get the

ice cream cone at the door

chris will provide it for you

[Music]

all right let’s stand together we’re

gonna pray

what’s that

giving giving your orders what kind of

ice cream you want yeah sorry chris

sorry

oh lord

let’s pray together for just let me hear

you pray let’s pray together for

a a baptism in courage

a courage a courage to be released over

us as a people that affects our praying

lift your voices

[Music]

yes lord

great courage

great baptism and courage god

great baptism and courage god

great baptism and courage father

father i pray that you’d give us a fresh

outpouring in the area of courage

that as a people we could stand with the

backbone that’s not obnoxious but firm

in in the kingdom principles you’ve

revealed to us i pray that that they

would be contagious

and that you’d give us understanding to

articulate well give us that issachar

sons of israel our anointing that

understand the day that they live in the

seasons the times that we live in and i

do pray that there would be

in the prayer life of this church

truly the birthing of a new season the

turning of a page the turning of a page

the turning of a page a new season

begins i pray this for the honor of the

name jesus

i want to ask one question before

we transition

is there anyone here that has never made

a personal

commitment

to the lord jesus christ

it’s what the bible calls

to be born again

it’s actually to become a disciple is to

turn away from the way you’ve done life

to the way he would have you do life is

to follow him to come to know him to

love him

there’s a lot of movement i’d really

appreciate if during these moments you

would not move around

because i don’t want anyone who would

respond to this to be distracted by your

movement

it’s the most important moment of this

day is this one right here

i want to ask the question is there

anyone here that would say

bill i don’t want to leave the building

until i know that i have found peace

with god

that i truly have become a disciple of

the lord jesus christ

if that’s you just put a hand up real

quickly where you are

because we’re just going to take a

moment to pray i don’t want to miss you

so way in the back thank you wonderful

wonderful

anybody else

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

anybody else real quick

i know we have some online we’ve had so

many people come to christ online it’s

been one of the most amazing things

sometimes when we were uh forced to not

be together i would sit here and watch

if chris was preaching for example and

i’d be on the youtube channel or bethel

tv and watch the people that would come

to christ extraordinary and we know

that’s that’s true is there another one

here back over here is another one

wonderful yes

thank you wonderful

[Applause]

saved too all right that’s fine that’s

good this is wonderful i bless all of

those there’s at least three if not four

going to ask you to come up to the front

them to do and if you brought this
