How do you know if you are walking in God’s purpose for your life? Bill Johnson shares God’s heart to reveal Himself in and through you. This what you were born for. Living in God’s purpose for your life comes by surrender and trust in His Word.
all through history people have created
stories
that try to answer to the Cry of the
heart for a fulfillment of why we’re
alive
an acute children’s stories as fables as
all these things I’m fine with all of
them as stories
but they actually
are all attempts to reveal what it is to
be in right relationship with the father
because you were born
to demonstrate
Unity between a son and daughter and the
father
and him fulfilling what you were born
for
verse 37 says for with God nothing will
be impossible
say that with me with God nothing will
be impossible say it again for with God
nothing will be impossible we’ve looked
at this oh goodness countless times
through the years and I realize for many
of you this will be repeat but I love
repeating it
with God nothing will be impossible
that phrase nothing will be impossible
as interesting makeup and it was Jack
Taylor who
helped me to understand this many years
ago
actually heard him teach on this passage
before I ever met him he has since
become a personal friend and a friend of
our house and writes me regularly just
to encourage me such a an amazing father
in the faith
but he took this verse nothing is
impossible with God and he broke it down
and this is how it’s broken down the
word nothing is actually two different
words it’s the word no but then it’s the
word Rhema Rhema is the there’s logos
and Rhema in in the in the Greek
language to describe God’s word
logos would be more used for the written
word Rhema is that which is freshly
spoken it’s not absolute but those are
those are uh the way that is
predominantly used in scripture so just
think through this with me Rhema no
Rhema no freshly spoken word of God will
be impossible
the word impossible actually means
without ability
and so this verse can be translated this
way no freshly spoken word of God will
ever come to you that does not contain
its own ability to perform itself
[Applause]
wow no freshly spoken word of God will
ever come to you that does not contain
its own ability to perform itself
see in James 1 it says in humility
receive the word implanted which is able
to save your soul
the power is not in my ability to
receive the power is in the word I
receive
in the same way the the acorn produces
the oak tree the powers in the acorn
the surroundings the soil is my a man to
what God is saying
it is my surrender it is my yieldedness
to that which God has spoken I have a
role but I don’t make anything grow
I create the atmosphere of absolute
surrender so that his purposes can
actually be fully displayed in me into
any measure he intends
no freshly spoken word of God will ever
come to any one of us
that does not in itself contain its own
ability to make sure that what was
spoken actually happens
and that’s why the next verse is so
significant
verse 38 Mary said behold the made
Servants of the Lord let it be to me
according to your word
let it be to me according to your word
we used to sing this song years ago
be it unto me according to your word
and it was this a wonderful song dick
Joyce in fact taught us who was home
with the Lord now but a wonderful
Prophet friend that made such a huge
difference in our lives in Weaverville
and here at Bethel
but he taught us the song I’ll never
forget it be it unto me according to
your word we would just sing this song
where we’re using scripture to sing into
this place of absolute surrender God we
want you to perform in and through us
all that you intend
now catch this thought
Jesus almost walked in water Jesus
or air either one air or water same
thing same thing
Jesus in The Gospel of John the
predominant feature of the Gospel of
John is that Jesus came to reveal the
father yes
10 of you agree
anybody ever read the Gospel of John
[Applause]
Jesus came to reveal the father
[Applause]
you know if I keep at it by the end of
the day we should have everyone
okay Jesus came to reveal the father
here’s the deal
the father is only revealed
through
his children
in other words he can be revealed but
not his father
he can be revealed as almighty God
he can be revealed as the great judge he
can be revealed as the Creator he can be
revealed as a thousand different things
but if he’s revealed as the father it’s
in connection to the revelation of who
his kids are
the point I want to make is is that you
and I have this incredible privilege to
reveal the father
by us being what he has designed us to
be in other words
if if
I claim to be a good father then it has
to be measurable with how my children
are treated yes
your relationship with God as your
father actually illustrates the quality
of his fathering
and Jesus Illustrated that very thing
perfectly by doing what he only said
well he heard his father said he only
did what he saw his father do he
Illustrated perfectly
you go to a place in Rome and you throw
a coin into the fountain
and you make a wish
your birthday cake is brought to you and
you blow out the candles
and you make a wish
in the child’s story you rub on a
lantern and a genie comes out and you
make
a wish
all through history people have created

that try to answer to the Cry of the

an acute children’s stories as fables is
all these things I’m fine with all of

but they actually are all attempts to
reveal what it is to be in right
relationship with the father
because you were born
to demonstrate
Unity between a son a daughter and the
father
and him fulfilling what you were born
for
and so she says be it unto me
according to your word that’s the amen
I can’t make that impossibility happen
how many of you are aware you cannot
make what God wants out of your life you
can’t make it happen
but what I can do is I can say yes
what I can do is invite him to do what
only he can do so say this with me be it
unto me
according to your word
yeah I’m so glad that you watched this
video I do pray that it’s a great great
strength and encouragement to you and
I’ve got a verse that it really is My
Cry for all of us and it’s Psalms 20
it’s verse 4. may he grant you your
heart’s desire and fulfill all your
plans
that’s my prayer that’s my prayers that
this would be the season of rich rich
fulfillment
