Stewarding Revelation – Bill Johnson (Full Sermon) | Bethel Church

As the people of God, it has been given to us to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. God desires to give us revelation, and much of what He desires to give hinges on how we steward what He has already given to us. Listen in as Bill teaches us from the words of Jesus on how to steward well what God has given to us.

we ask this in jesus name amen

all right you can let go of their hands

unless you really like them then you can

i’m not going to do what chris does i i

can’t handle the pressure

can’t handle

we just had a uh another lyme’s disease

testimony can you

just give a brief brief report is here

can you do it just wrote just real quick

real quick yeah you don’t have to preach

or anything

just tell them tell them what you told

me

my friend in socal has had lyme disease

for years and

bill called out lyme’s disease numerous

times over the past couple

of uh weeks i guess and she just

notified me um via text that her lyme’s

disease is healed

uh did did you stand in proxy for her

or did she just

yeah yeah yeah yep yeah we’ve we’ve been

having this thing happen

uh well it’s been the last couple years

but it seems to be increasing

where somebody will stand in place of

another i’ve always believed in it but

we’ve not had high

percentage of breakthrough to be honest

with you and uh

in the last two years since eric’s been

doing his thing with

uh all um no autism

uh dyspraxia um

that whole thing the brain stuff since

he’s been doing that

people have stood in proxy of other

people and then

sent a text and miracles have come

every time we’ve done it i mean it’s

it’s just

mind-boggling and uh he just came back

probably shared if you were here this

morning of another one where the

the psychiatrist who had uh somebody

with autism

on heavy meds i guess has completely

taken them off of medication

and uh and they’re they’re just restored

to normal

and uh it’s it’s just this most amazing

thing so

we’re gonna pray for us i feel like

we’re supposed to go after

uh alzheimer’s

and dementia i i i feel like we’re

supposed

to develop an attitude

an attitude towards because because

people in their

their spiritual prime

are getting robbed of influence because

of the assault on the brain

it’s not the lord it is not the lord

and uh i we’re going to go after this

more in the future

because because i need to ponder this

for a bit but let me just tell you

at the get go here uh several years ago

i was flying home from new zealand and i

on the plane i was contemplating i was

thinking about

i just spent time with dear friend one

of my heroes of the faith winky pratny

and he had had a stroke where a part of

his brain

blew up and he literally i mean it was

it was just

just destroyed and he he had to

relearn everything and he did

and he was like oh i don’t know 95 maybe

100

completely restored of something that

was impossible to restore

and he’s he’s one of the most brilliant

men i’ve ever met

and just this man that is so completely

devoted to jesus

been a real hero of mine for 40 plus

years

so anyway i was thinking about him and

then i was remembering

i just spent time with roland baker

roland and heidi

and roland had they have x-rays of his

brain where his brain was dying

and he was he would be awake for like an

hour a day they would clothe him they

would feed him

he could do nothing on his own they

called the family members together to

say goodbye

and long story short they

put him in this place where he received

a lot of

care and ministry

and jesus healed him and just and just i

mean it’s impossible

it’s impossible for it to happen so

winky pratny and ron baker probably the

two smartest people i know

and so i was sitting on a plane thinking

about how god healed them

and it hit me he’s restoring he’s

restoring brains

so when i when i got home i called out

anyone who had

had had a head trauma and that’s when we

started to have

a wave of miracles through people that

had

had uh maybe automobile accident we had

some uh we had one we’ve had cases of

amnesia

uh previous to this we had a case in

oregon up in the portland area of

complete total amnesia

that god healed uh so many things to do

with the brain

and so i feel like there’s just this

increasing wave now it’s hitting

uh autism and uh and uh some of these

other areas bipolar we’ve had

oh we quit counting at 65 i think it was

uh cases and that was several years ago

so

the point is is anything to do with the

brain

epilepsy we had a gal healed in in

cleveland that had 30

plus seizures a day on medication

on medication and she came

into the meeting we prayed for but when

i talked to her later

she said actually when i came into the

meeting i felt it lift

she came into the atmosphere of divine

health

and that thing that had been plaguing

her for her entire lifetime

was just literally lifted off and

last i heard she was in university

studying the science of the brain

because she wants to help people in that

area

really brilliant actually uh she was a

fashion model

in new york and she’s now giving herself

to this let’s study the brain it’s

amazing

how jesus works so the point i’m trying

to make is

guess what the brain gets healed

it’s in the heart of god to heal the

brain

we’ve seen people uh with uh

tremendous damage on the brain through

drug abuse

that sort of thing a friend of mine uh

in weaverville

his brain was literally fried on drugs

and

couldn’t concentrate on a single item

at any time he was it was anything of

that nature was just

absolutely impossible for him and he

ended up getting saved

but he still had the issue with the

brain with his mind

and and the lord spoke to him and said

if he would give attention

to memorizing the scriptures now

is there anything more difficult when

you can’t concentrate on one simple

thing

but he gave himself to try to memorize a

scripture

and he did it and then another and then

another and literally through the

memorization of scripture god healed his

mind

so i i

now we’re just supposed to go for this

so i i’m not sure how if

if you have uh any kind of head trauma

could be from uh you know

multiple concussions uh sports

it could be automobile accident um

it could be um epilepsy

we’ve seen as many as 16 people healed

of of uh

what dyslexia in one night and they all

got up tested proved it in front of a

crowd of about a thousand people and uh

so any of those kinds of things

if you have that and you want to be

healed

stand

we’re going to take it in layers here so

yeah we’ll do proxy thing in a moment

i want to see how many in the room

actually need it for themselves tonight

all right

now anyone who wants to stand

in proxy for a dear friend or a relative

i want you to stand now

oh my goodness all right

i want us to throw in now um alzheimer’s

and dementia if you either have that or

the

the beginning stages of that and or you

have a relative

or a close friend with that i want you

to stand in for them

this is awesome

look around the room i’m serious it’s

not awesome that there’s so many people

standing

but it’s awesome this is the day of

salvation

this is the day of divine health this is

the day

of healing of these kinds of things so

there’s probably as many people standing

as there are sitting so i want

if you’re sitting stand up put a hand on

someone next to you

and if you’re just a bunch of people

standing

and there’s nobody there to lay hands on

you then lay hands on each other

and i just i want you to pray very

simply lord let this be the day

of the healing of the brain restore what

has been stolen

i want you to rebuke the spirit of

infirmity

rebuke the spirit of infirmity

rebuke the spirit of infirmity we pray

for this friend

if you’re standing in proxy i want you

to mention the name

of the person you’re standing for bring

the name of that person before the lord

i pray for johnny in jesus mighty name

that you would restore his mind restore

his brain

that bipolar would be gone from his life

from this point on forever

take just a moment longer those who are

uh watching bethel tv

join with us do the same if you have

family or friends

bring their name before the lord this is

just an

hour where he just seems to be

multiplying the release of anointing

for healing in these areas so we declare

that divine health over the mind

we rebuke alzheimer’s dementia

all those afflictions of the mind where

the memory is compromised

we declare divine health divine health

over the mind

in jesus name those of you that are

receiving the prayer for yourself

i want you just to make a confession i

receive this gift

of healing for my own body for my own

mind i want you to mention that

if you’re praying for somebody else

you’re standing in proxy that i want you

just to declare

we declare the healing word of jesus

over and then mention their name

i declare the healing word of jesus over

johnny right now

in jesus mighty name i declare the

healing word of jesus

amen amen

all right you did you did good you did

good all right go ahead and sit down

if you stood in proxy for someone

you are now given permission to use your

phone

to send a text but when you’re done put

it away

you have permission to send a text said

we pray for you we believe god for your

healing for your miracle

and you can do that right now my

favorite story in this regard

i know many of you have heard it before

uh when randy

clark was here a couple years ago one of

our students

randy gave a word of knowledge about a

specific

condition a broken ankle

metal screws plates that sort of thing

describe

in detail what god was healing and one

of our students

recognized the description of the injury

was actually his aunt who was in another

city another state

and so he wrote his aunt a text saying

randy called out your condition tonight

and we’re praying for your healing

and so long story short randy actually

met this gal

some months or maybe a year or so later

this this scout head is in a very

horrible accident a major surgery on her

ankle

screws plates all this stuff

she was in bed sleeping so she didn’t

get the text

and she actually had her phone off so

she didn’t get the text and

she got up in the morning and forgot she

needed crutches she had to have crutches

to

to move she literally she forgot she

needed crutches

she got out of bed walked to the

restroom

and when she got to the restroom

realized

i’m healed now this is so bizarre

she got to the rest and realized i’m

healed

and she had no pain she had all movement

everything and this was just

weird she got back told her husband i’m

healed

and so they decided to go out to

breakfast and celebrate

so they went up breakfast is a good way

to celebrate

bacon eggs crispy hash browns

come on bring it on strong coffee

orange juice freshly squeezed oh

i know what i’m going to do tomorrow

morning i’m already

planning all right

so they went out to breakfast she took

her phone and realized her phone was off

so at breakfast she turned her phone on

and then she got the text

so much for the power of suggestion then

she got the text and found out

they had prayed for her the night before

is that amazing story

amazing story so

the lord is amping up he’s accelerating

the rate at which people get healed

it’s almost as though he’s leaning on

the edge of his seat looking for

opportunities

so let’s give him the opportunities

let’s pray often let’s pray much

and give him opportunities you had a

interesting dream i want you to share

that

and we’re going to pray for uh back

conditions in a moment but

but just share briefly yeah so i on

friday night i had a dream

and um in the dream i was on an airplane

and there was uh two women

one in front of me one to the right of

me

and they both had like um debilitating

back pain

and it was interesting the woman next to

me um i don’t know how i knew this but

in the dream you just know things and i

knew she was maybe in

her 30s but the back pain which was

causing her to not be able to move it

was like paralyzing her

in that seat it caused her to look maybe

30 or 40 years older than she actually

was

and it was like this spirit of

affliction on her and she just looked so

tired and so

worn by this uh by this pain and so

normally you know when i find out

somebody needs healing i’ll just say hey

i’d love to pray for you

i’ll and i’ll pray for them to be healed

but what was unique about that moment is

i knew in my heart i was supposed to

i got both of their attention and i told

them hey when

when uh when we invite the presence of

god to come

we become whole so i explained that and

then i did it in the dream

and i love that you can experience the

lord in your dreams i remember feeling

the presence of god so wonderfully

and both of them were healed and when i

looked at the woman to my

to my right she was standing up in the

aisle of the plane and and the life had

come back in her skin

uh the this affliction had left and she

looked her age

and so i felt in my heart that the lord

was um

he was just setting us free from a

spirit of affliction and actually

yesterday i was in

out in our one of our neighborhoods just

sharing the gospel with some people

and there was a woman who had dislocated

her shoulder and she couldn’t sleep

because of the pain

and so i told her that dream and i said

that’s what i’m going to do i’m going to

invite the presence of god

and because when we invite the presence

of god we become whole

and so i explained that to her and then

did it and she was completely healed

uh in that moment and so just excited

for

and i believe it’s that that pain that

can make us tired and there’s a there’s

uh you know

sometimes injuries and things can make

us feel tired and worn and exhausted and

so

i believe the lord’s lifting that off

tonight it’s exciting

that’s right if that makes sense to you

stand up

it makes sense to you just pain that

just drains you of life just makes you

feel

older than you are i wonder what jesus

wants to do

[Applause]

is there anyone that is sitting down

that has strong conviction

of what jesus is actually about to do

right now

if your hand is up you have an

assignment

find someone who’s standing pray for

them

if if you’re standing and nobody comes

to you grab

someone who’s sitting down and tell them

i’m your assignment

once again those on bethel tv this makes

sense for you

invite we invite you holy spirit to come

with power

and invade invade in vain

glorify the name of jesus through

miracles through signs

through wonders right now we declare

a breaking of that spirit of infirmity

on the back that has just brought pain

and exhaustion

into people’s lives i want you to

confess this over them this ends tonight

this ends tonight

now just pray just release presents

release peace

the shalom of heaven over them right now

off we release it in jesus name

amen

okay just stand there for a moment

because the holy spirit’s touching it

just stand there for a moment slim touch

we’re not gonna do anything else

just i just want you to sense his

presence he’s literally

flooding out he’s going to the root of

that affliction

and he’s flooding up the reason why we

declare an end to that tonight jesus

name

we’re going to do one more thing that

i’ve never done before

ever in my life that i can remember i

want the entire worship

team and community to stand

i i looked over here while we were

praying earlier

and i just was just moved a deep deep

compassion i guess is the right word but

not a pity compassion a compassion

that says we’re to pray over you for a

spirit of wisdom and revelation to come

upon you

that the lord would give you

understanding in the scripture

that would actually be released in song

i don’t mean just biblical lyrics that’s

a no-brainer

there’s something else you’re going to

carry and release

musically an anointing for wisdom and

revelation

and that as you as you play

there will be there’s something

interesting happened

with the musicians in david’s day they

would play

their instruments and they would pray

play prophetically

i personally don’t think i think it’s in

first chronicles 25

i personally don’t think there was

instruments

with a prophecy it was the instruments

themselves

were prophesied because prophetic

ministry

encourages and exhorts strengthens and

there’s something in the instrument

something even in

vocals in sounds that’s going to release

uh prophetic anointing and wisdom

so i want you all to extend your hand

towards these folks and we’re just we

just

declare this over you we pray right now

the spirit of wisdom

and revelation to come upon you the

whole bethel music community

these folks travel all over the world

serve the body of christ

constantly i want you to take a moment

to pray intercede for them

and then i’ll lead in prayer but i want

you to intercede i want to hear you

praying for them

they give themselves for the strength of

the body of christ

continuously pray for them right now

i want to hear you praying i want to

hear you praying

pray with the understanding pray in the

spirit we declare

refreshing strength spirit of wisdom

spirit of revelation to come upon

the bethel music community well over a

hundred people on the team

we declare this over you in jesus name

that there would be dreams in the night

visions in the day

dreams in the night visions in the day

visions in the night dreams in the day

where god would open the spirit of

wisdom

open the spirit of revelation in the

knowledge of him

the scriptures would open

a teaching gift would come upon you not

only in word

but in your actions in playing

instruments

that there would be the release of

prophetic anointing

through what you play through what you

sing

let’s pray for one more thing miracles

to be released through sounds

miracles through sound pray it pray it

pray it i want to hear you praying

miracles through sound miracles through

sound

miracles through sound

the sounds of healing would be released

the sounds of healing would be released

the sounds of healing would be released

press into this a little bit more church

the lord has hidden melodies

and harmonies has hidden them

for this season i want you to pray that

the lord would

open their ears to hear things that have

only been heard in heaven

that they would hear things that have

never been heard before

that they were to release the sounds of

heaven on earth

that would restore the mind of people

restore the hearts of people

the people would come to faith literally

because of the sound released

through bethel music through this team

wow didn’t expect all of that we bless

you in jesus name

that was good bless and good wonderful

wow wow wow sounds of healing

there are there are things that have

been locked up

do you understand that the lord can hide

a beautiful melody that that no

computer program could discover no

musical genius could discover he can

lock it for a season

and then when the people of god begin to

hear

where we minister to him but then we

have him minister to us we begin to

pick up things we begin to see and to

think

and to hear in this case melodies

i believe that the lord is releasing

things that have been locked up for

years

centuries for this hour and specifically

i believe there are melodies that have

never been hurt

they’ve never been heard anywhere but

heaven itself

and the lord is unlocking some of these

things

for those who are willing to listen

those who are willing to draw near

and not only give to him but respond to

him

let him minister back and and i just i

sense that there are there are things

about to be released

specifically i’m targeting the whole

belt of music

community but this is for everyone

there are doctors in the room that there

are solutions to medical problems

that no one has been able to figure out

but the solution has been locked up in

heaven

listen to me carefully luke 12 says it

is his pleasure

to give you the mysteries of the kingdom

matthew 13

it is his pleasure to give you the

secrets the mysteries of the kingdom

so lord i pray right now that the spirit

of revelation

rests more increasingly upon

us as your people that in every interest

every field of responsibility

represented in this room

that we there are those of you in

education there are

forms and ways of education that have

never been discovered

that educators that are born again are

going to learn

god’s going to drop ideas into your

heart and mind

and you’re going to find ways of

training

problem children in ways

their problems are going to be unraveled

in a sense that they’ve been given a

gift and you’ve got to find out how to

tap into that gift

and they will learn at a higher rate and

lord we just pray that you would unlock

open the secrets the mysteries of your

kingdom

for everybody in this room anybody have

interest in this

yeah i do i do help us to grow quickly

and to serve our communities around us

with insights with revelation knowledge

we pray this in jesus name

wow

i’m i’m telling you the lord is on this

thing

i don’t know if you believe me or not

but i believe me

i believe me

i can feel this when we started praying

for you guys

something is released

oh man

goodness gracious

it has been given to you to know the

mysteries of the kingdom

say this with me it has been given to me

to know the mysteries of the kingdom of

god

it has been given to me to know the

mysteries

of the kingdom of god then jesus shares

a secret about this

he says to ever whoever has more will be

given

when the lord gives you something

you know what let’s just go for this

this is it tonight all right this is it

we’re just going to go for this this is

it

to ever have whoever has more will be

given besides

have you ever seen somebody that

constantly gets prophesied over

they’re the one that gets called out in

a meeting

i mean there could be a thousand people

in the room or ten thousand and they’re

going to be the one called out

didn’t that just take you off the same

people

all the time do you know why

because whoever has

they attract more

see when you’re given something from god

that you treasure

you attract more of the same

if you value what he values

do you like insight revelation

that is treasured attracts revelation

when i get in certain atmospheres i have

to have a pen

with me always have my bible

with paper

and the reason is when i’m in certain

atmospheres

the downloads if i’m standing next to

lance wall now

and randy clark there is this hurricane

whirlwind of revelation happening

above my head and and if i value what he

says

i will be ready to treasure it i write

it down

i write it down i pray it

i think it i meditate on it and what i

have found is that when you treasure

one thing he gives you that one thing

calls friends

calls its brothers and sisters to come

it calls more of the same it attracts

the same

whenever we value what he gives us

i have my phone my car likes my phone

they get along well they talk

they fellowship together it’s it’s it’s

an apple product and so it tends to like

range rovers and

other things that have been made with

quality

just

just tolerate me

this is an apostolic ministry

in case you didn’t know in one of our

remind me to get back to the story here

in a moment

in one of our classes one of our guys

was teaching in the gospel

john if i remember right and his phone

off put off to the side

and while he’s teaching siri speaks up

out of nowhere and says to the class

in my realm anyone can do anything

[Applause]

the prophetess siri spoke

what can i say

i have my my phone connected to my car

so whenever i get in it looks for my

phone

and i push random on playback so it just

goes through my phone

and picks randomly things to play

which is really fun because you may get

yellow submarine by the beatles one day

and bob jones prophesying for one hour

the next and so literally

for yesterday and today i’ve just left

it on

this 56 minute long conversation with

bob jones

and in this 56 minute conversation that

benny and i had with bob and bonnie

in 2009 it says when it comes out the

screen

bob jones 2009 july

and he just is talking to us about some

of the words that he’s given us

oh it’s just i just feel like

like god ordained saturday and today all

my time in the car 56 minutes worth

of wherever i was driving it would pick

up where i left off

and just hear bob jones talk to us and

give us prophetic counsel

on what he was doing and what was

happening in the earth

if you treasure what he says

you will attract more

it’s simple it’s simple

but it’s absolutely true to him who has

more will be given beside when did jesus

make that statement this is matthew 13

and it followed the statement it has

been given to me

to know the mysteries

stewarding mystery

attracts revelation on more mystery

that may do nothing for you but i’m so

excited on the inside of me right now

i can hardly stand it

stewarding mystery

it’s really time

for the church to serve the community

with creative expression solving mystery

bringing definition highlighting purpose

for our cities

stand just one more time until you have

it have you do it again

just stand up

put your hands in front of you as though

you were going to receive a gift

this is all spillover from your prayers

for our

worship team and ministry our musicians

singers

i feel like the lord is wanting to

release the same thing in great measure

to everybody in this room but it’ll be

tailor-made for your place of

responsibility

so father i ask you in the wonderful

name of jesus

let there be a wave

a wave go through this place

[Music]

now

that unlocks mysteries

release insight answers solutions

creative ideas revelation of mystery

the mystery of our walk with you the

mystery

of the challenges that we face in

society

unlock the mysteries in and through your

people we pray for the glory of the name

jesus

now let’s conclude this with this

statement it has been given to me

to know the mysteries of the kingdom of

god

i say it one last time altogether it has

been

given to me to know the mysteries

of the kingdom of god amen amen all

right good to be seated

yeah you know what i think it’d be good

if you gave god praise thank you

bless the lord bless the lord some of my

favorite people on the planet are here

that’s all of you but we have some

kind of visitors uh robbie and angie

dawkins

are here they’re heroes heroes of the

faith for me

and uh robbie i want if you both want to

come up or if it’s just you

i want you to come on up and uh

and i i want to get a report

from you guys this

this yeah bless them would you as they

come these guys are amazing

now first of all i want to start by

asking you a question

go and be seated when

somebody is murdered at a certain

location

when you were in chicago and now when

a believer is martyred in some

nation of the world you have a personal

policy

what is it explain it to us okay

this is how we respond it’s good

we call this taking a toll and so what

happens is that uh when we were

pastoring in chicago

and uh and in the uh the

city of aurora was the second largest

city in illinois we just got sick and

tired

of all these gang killings murders

all this you know it was one of the top

10 most dangerous cities in the nation

and and it’s not you know that

big you know it was less than 200 000

people but

we uh the lord began to speak to me

and i began to say god what do we what

do we do how do we respond to this what

do we do and so the lord

began to speak to me to study the

gaddites

and the tribe of god and to see how they

responded and one of the things is i

began to look in scripture

when israel was blessing god is he said

to god

he said your enemy in in in it may have

been the particular translation i was

reading it he says your enemy

will grab you by the heel but you will

turn and grab him by the throat

and basically he was saying how that god

would respond with death blows

and so we i began to pray and i was like

how does how does that

translate you know because i grew up i

grew up

pretty much seeing scripture sort of

through the

pollyanna version and so much of what

sunday school teachers and other people

saw but

i love those parts of the bible because

that’s where it’s a little more

rambo you know and and so i’m like yes

as a man so anyway we began to pray and

and

and and i went to the gang members that

had that we had led to christ in our

church and i said

how did you respond when somebody would

come and do a hit

in your territory or somebody like how

how did what was your strategy of

respond they said well whatever you did

to us

we did three times that to you if you

killed one of our guys we killed three

of yours you raped one of ours we raped

three years you stole ten thousand

dollars we’re still on thirty thousand

years and i was like that’s our strategy

that’s what we’re doing and they were

like we’re gonna kill people

i love this church no

that’s not what we’re going to do but

what we did

is so we every time there was a murder

every time we would go

to the very to the very uh

block of where it happened and

i i took my boys with me isaiah our son

had been a part of this we would go to

the very block

where this had happened and we would

pray for as many people as possible we

wouldn’t stop until we led at least

three people to christ

in that very block and so

we were telling the enemy we are going

to make it

too expensive for you to take out people

in our city

it’s going to cost you too much it’s

going to cost you more than it’s costing

us

and so we kept doing that we finally

ended up getting i got a call from our

chief of police

and he he called and he goes are you

guys he goes what are you guys doing he

goes we’re seeing

like after it comes out in the paper of

where these things had happened we’re

seeing your guys

out there and i said and i explained to

him what we were doing

and he goes you’re just praying for

people what else are you doing i’m like

no you don’t understand how powerful

that is

you don’t understand what’s happening

because i mean truly

think about it just for a second it’s

talking about i learned this of course

from this man

talk about shifting the atmosphere you

think you go into a grocery store and

pray for one person

and they get to heal 50 they get to go

down to five and you think oh that’s all

that happens

no no you shifted the atmosphere

you changed let me tell you there is

more happening in

i’ll stop preaching sorry there’s more

happening in that area than you realize

you think well just a little bit

happened no it didn’t a lot

happened so the chief call he says

he thought we were doing our own

investigations

and let me tell you why because he said

every time we’re seeing you guys in the

area

crime is dropping he said normally it

shoots up afterwards but we’re seeing

crime

drop in that area where we’re seeing you

guys

afterwards and we’re seeing it at

plummet and so he said

whatever you’re doing keep doing it the

the thing of it is it’s jumping way far

ahead it ended up

completely transforming our city wow i

mean completely transforming our city

and they even they named a day after our

church

in the this is the second largest city

in illinois named a day off the church

that was awarded to us by the mayor

uh they gave all this stuff because of

the contribution to

changing that because what happened is

is that crime dropped so dramatically

they ended up laying off a third of the

police staff

in in one of the top 10 most dangerous

cities in the nation

wow just because of stepping out and

doing that it’s just so

so that’s that is a very short answer to

that question yeah

but it was good i like it keep the mic

yes sir

when a believer is martyred yes

sorry yeah that’s right so i’ll give you

another chance

yes when we were it’s just it’s a great

movie

it’s a great show so like when when we

were we would use this as a part of

training

and and we even do at first we were

thinking

do you have to do it on the grounds like

when i was in afghanistan if you saw

finger of god two that’s where we were

at

and we would i was teaching the guys

there because just uh

two weeks before we got there they

killed a believer

uh in this one day and i told them i

said the enemy’s got to pay for that

we gotta the enemy has to pay for that

because they are that is that is an

attack

against the kingdom of god and we’re not

just going to let them slide with that

and i said we’re going to that very

block and they’re like that’s in the

heart of kabul that’s like the most date

i said no we are going there

and we are going to do it there and so

and and and of course that’s where the

military showed up

in that but when we were done we saw if

you saw it you you didn’t get to see

the whole thing of what happened but let

me tell you when we get in those

circumstances if i could just say this

when we get into circumstances we sort

of think we have to get crafty to get

ourselves out

can i just tell you give god room to

work

god will get you that that song joshua’s

saying i called and you

answered he answers

if we just don’t try to come up with a

plan to get ourselves out but give him

space

to get i’m sure shadrach meshach and

figure you know and evangelion figured

that out going into the fiery fur you

know

let’s just get we just got there’s

nothing else we could do he’s just got

to work or we’re dead

and that’s all there is to it but what

happened is we saw that dramat we saw

breakthrough happen in that area and i

thought man the afghans are not going to

want to go out after this and afterwards

they were like

we don’t stop we haven’t gotten through

after the

the military releases they’re like we

got to go after three we got to go after

three we shed three and we’re going

after three

and they didn’t stop and so we came back

and we were like okay

every time now that there is an attack

so sri lanka what happened in sri lanka

i was in sri lanka

about 10 11 years ago essentially and

let me tell you so we were like

we are putting it out 330

plus i think we’re killed we’re going

after a thousand

bringing a thousand to christ because we

gotta tell

we gotta tell the enemy these nations

no longer belong to you they

now belong to jesus they now belong they

are not

your nations to wreak havoc and to

murder believers

anymore it is they belong to jesus amen

that’s good that’s good i’m enjoying it

so where have you been lately yes you

you

tell us something come on this this lady

here is scary

very she scared your that story still

i do you mind telling it again

i mean tell the story i mean really tell

the story

give us the story you need to know how

powerful

this lady’s finger is

[Laughter]

go ahead go ahead yeah so

um yeah we were in

aurora we were ministering to just a lot

of people from a lot of different

backgrounds and we had a young couple

in our church and they were just young

little kids um had just come

and um so we were just kind of walking

them through some things

and there was a particular weekend where

robbie was out of town

and um so they lived in some public

housing downtown

and i had just decided i wanted to take

my kids down have some fun

and um i thought you know i’m going to

go uh and

see what she’s doing because her look

she had two little ones the same ages as

mine and i thought you know i’m just

going to go and

spend some time with her and just kind

of you know just

be the love of jesus with her so i went

uh and uh knocked up

on knocked on her door um had my son

with me and when she came to the door

she was crying

and had her little baby she was very

pregnant

and had a one-year-old in her arm and

she was like i don’t know

uh where he went you know he he just

beat me up and left and i don’t know

what to do

and so i just kind of instinctively i

said you know what

let me come in let’s get get the kids

ready you know we’re going to go

have a good time and um you just don’t

worry

you don’t worry about it she said well

she goes he’s he’s out there somewhere i

know you know

because you know he i know he’s out

there and i’m just

you know i just if you if we see him

don’t don’t talk to him you know just

let him cool off and i said well you

don’t worry about it

i said we’re just gonna go and um we’re

gonna have a good time we’re gonna

take these kids so we went downstairs

and um when we came outside

sure enough she saw him across the

street and she started crying again and

so i don’t know something just rose up

in me when i

saw her crying and and you know i just i

wanted to

i wanted to partner with what i felt

like that god was doing and

the identity that he had and that i i

just wanted to

to you know so i just felt it in me and

i just i said well you know what hugo

my van was right down there and i had my

older boys and i said you just go take

the kids there

uh let me i’ll deal with this and so

so i i had her son with me and i walked

across the street

and i just saw him and he was on on

somebody’s phone he didn’t even have a

phone he was on somebody else’s phone

she had been

upset about that and so i i kind of

came up to him and you know tapped him

on the shoulder and he turned

around and and he started laughing

and um and so something in me you know

just

rose up and i just said you know i i

just picked

picked up sonya and

i’m going to take them i’m taking them

with me

and if you know what’s good for you you

will leave her alone

and i i did put my finger

up in his face and i just i said you

know you’re gonna leave

leave her alone if you know what’s good

for you

and um i will deal with you later and so

and he just was like ah like that and i

i actually did hit the phone out of his

hand

i did do that minor details

yeah and uh and so then i

went back across the street and um we

actually did

go to the downtown event and uh then i

took

her home with uh her kids and took them

into our house for a few months and

we actually discipled her and and um

told told uh yeah

yes so uh i actually um

called robbie later that night and i

explained what had happened and i said

you know don’t be alarmed if you come

home and

she’s here and her and her kids they’re

they’re coming to stay with us

for a few months and so

and so um so that was friday night

sunday morning

we went to church and were in his office

and this young man

showed up to church and um and i was not

in the office at the time i was working

somewhere else in the church but he uh

had come up to the office and his eyes

were bloodshot and he was in really bad

shape

this is three days later and so

um apparently he hadn’t been able to

sleep

and he uh yeah maybe you should tell

this part

this is like this is like a miracle her

telling the story right now like talking

in front of you is like a miracle

but he can’t yes

yeah she she wasn’t in the room when

this part happened so

she goes when he come our worship pastor

was like

dude he’s really like jacked up you know

you should come in and

i don’t know what’s wrong with him and

he jumped off the couch and he

always wore shades and he pulls his

shades off and i could see his eyes were

swollen and red

and he goes he goes the first thing he

says out of his mouth when he gets right

up to me he goes

is angie here and i was like

yeah she’s downstairs and he pushes the

door behind

me closed and he goes i’ve been shot at

i’ve been

stabbed he said he goes i have never

been so scared in my entire life

and when she shook that finger in my

face

and just let me tell you if he was here

telling the story

she was a lot louder and a lot more

authoritative than what she just

demonstrated to you of how she was when

it actually happened

and he was like every time i close my

eyes he can

i can’t eat i can’t sleep he goes i i

got a hit of meth

he goes it didn’t work it doesn’t work

and he goes and every time i try to

close my eyes asleep he goes i see her

finger

and her bent brow in my face and he goes

i’m and he holds his hands up and

his hands were just

i mean this guy is probably one of the

most dangerous

dudes we have ever had in our church you

know and he goes i can’t eat i can’t

sleep i said dude

she put the fear of god on you and he

goes i’ve heard people say i’ll put the

fear of god i said no no

no no you don’t understand she put the

holy terror

of almighty god on your body and he goes

well get it off and i said she put it on

she’s got the she has to take it off and

he goes does she have to be in the room

he was he was going after the proxy

thing that bill was using

and so i said yes and so i came

downstairs and i’m like sweetheart you

need to

i told her what happened she goes well

i’ll think about it

and i’m like sweetie i mean he can’t eat

he can’t sleep he’s a wreck

and she goes he beats her and i was like

i get it and she goes

i will not have a man beat a woman and

i’m like

i’m with you i’m on yours i agree

i told you so she comes in the office as

soon as she walks in the office

he jumps to his feet and he grabs his

hat

and he puts it over his heart like he’s

pledging to the flag

as she walks in the door and she walks

over and she goes you listen to me and

he goes oh god no

no shaking the finger in his

face again and she goes take those

glasses off and he threw the glass up

she goes

sit down he pops down and he folds his

hands in the middle

and she goes now this is what’s going to

happen and she laid everything out and

right there man

she prayed for a release for him he

literally

passes out on the couch in my office

sleeps through the entire first service

and we had to go

have to have one of the guys go up and

wake him up to bring him down into the

second service because his first time he

had sleep in like

three days but uh it was so awesome

because we did

their baptism and their wedding on the

same day

he was incredible incredible incredible

incredible

wow that is awesome

still one of my favorite stories ever

come on

put the fear of god on him

anything else you guys want to share

yeah let me

let me let me say something because this

you know just

something that he said today uh

we sort of doubled depth we went over in

her building we ran over here and heard

eric and it’s just like you know

like drinking from two fire hydrants in

one day

but something that he said when he said

uh about

uh nineveh being one of the greatest

revivals jonah with nineveh and it’s

it i’ve never heard anybody else say

that but it’s

it’s it’s always been mine and part of

it was because where we were pastoring

because jonah is explaining to god over

and over how jacked up

nineveh is and how messed up and no you

gotta strike it you gotta you gotta do

this

i don’t care if they’re repenting you

gotta come after him and the whole time

god keeps calling nineveh

the great city it’s one of the most

violent horrific cities and do you you

know where nineveh is

today mosul iraq

it’s mosul iraq that’s why we’re

starting a a school

of supernatural ministry in that area in

that part of northern iraq

because i believe we’re going to

recapture that revival

for that entire area come on but i share

that with you because there’s something

significant you know for that because

again

being in these situations and i’m seeing

this more and more we were we were just

in pakistan i could tell you

so many stories it’s not even funny but

this part of the world one of the

reasons why we

do this thing with taking the toll with

the believers who’ve been martyred and

all that is

for this reason because so many of them

you know they they they don’t

necessarily send have a sense of

solidarity

you know from from us they don’t feel

like that we in the west understand or

anything like that

but one of the things when we went to in

when we went to like

afghanistan and like even even going to

pakistan

you know um we were hearing the entire

time and it was it was spectacular i

mean

you know marilyn hickey life hetlan has

done incredible stuff there

but but one of the things that i’ve i

have this thing

is that when we were going to

afghanistan uh i would i get called by

the cia

and they’re like they’re like you cannot

go because i was gonna i went

in the middle of ramadan and i was

determined that if we’re gonna talk

about faith is spelled risk

i gotta demonstrate it now let me say

this and this is not saying anything

about anybody else who does it a

different way

please don’t hear this as a comparison

in any other way

okay i really really mean that you do

what the lord tells you to do

but we were being bombarded with

messages of people saying

you know you have better had a clear

word from the lord before you go to some

place

like afghani you had better and i was

like yeah i’ve actually had

five clear words matthew mark

lou john and the book of acts he said go

into all the world and i i just so

happen to believe

that that literally means i can go

anywhere and i got a clear where to go

you know what i’m saying i don’t have to

have a clear word to pray for somebody

in

the grocery store why do i have to have

you know that’s just me

so anyway just saying

just saying but all of a sudden we were

we were going and

people were writing my wife my kids your

father’s worse than an infidel because

he’s taking these crazy risks

and one of the things that we don’t do

is we don’t do it with any security

now i thank god for these people that

are here because you have to have

crowd control i mean that’s just smart

when you have large groups of people and

stuff like that

but one of the things that when we were

in pakistan i was telling them and then

also afghanistan and this this guy this

guy from cia he’s just

please tell me you’ve hired private

security and i said no way

i’m like because if i and again this

isn’t saying anything against

anybody else this is because i can’t

imagine i’m just not imagining the

apostle paul

rolling into town with a 50 millimeter

strapped on the top of a humvee

as he rolls into town that’s just my

perspective okay it could

somebody else could have a different

perspective but if if if

to see that and and don’t give me that’s

nothing like against guns because i have

a lot of them and they’re fun

and i love them so that’s not anti any

of that because i’m not that guy

hey man but yeah but that but

when we go in you know again the

greatest

weapon we have

we have the same spirit that raised

jesus christ from the dead

living inside of us

really we think we think a big gun

is going to change something when we

have the spirit of almighty god

the most powerful force in the

entire universe dwells inside of us

okay so and this is you know what i

teach to them

we go there and so you know we stepped

like we had this cool thing we stepped

up

and we were in we had 35 000 people at

these evening hits now i know that

sounds really cool

i’m not excited about those as much

as i am about the trainings we were

doing with the indigenous leaders during

the day and charlie knows what i’m

talking about because he’s doing it

in huntsville with the prison uh there

and i’m i mean

incredible man of god right there love

him but there is when you

when when you stop and we we really see

this

that we we shut we expect god to show up

and they were like

they had these guys in the arena with

all these weapons and

and i was like man listen you gotta i’m

not stepping out of this van

until all the guys with guns are cleared

out of the arena

and they are like what and i said no i

told you before i came that i’m not

happy because i’m not going to

demonstrate

i’m not going to demonstrate to the

indigenous believers a different

lifestyle of what i’m preaching i’m just

it’s that i’m just talking about me i’m

not looking for anybody else

and so i said until you clear everybody

out now now keep

security there for crowd control because

again that’s smart

i said but but we’re not having anybody

go in there you know with that and so

they

the guy was mad they had to wait for 20

minutes until they had all the guys

you know come out the guys with guns and

we walked in and so the first thing i

get up my talk for a little bit

and then i said now we are going to

demonstrate to you

that jesus is here and it’s more than

just the greatest of all the prophets

because

prophets could do signs and wonders you

know and of course i’m thinking from

their perspective from you know because

there’s only one and a half percent

that are christians in pakistan uh

there’s even less in afghanistan

but they have a perspective of course

thinking that

muhammad and jesus that muhammad was

higher than than jesus as a

as a prophet and he said here’s a

demonstration we’re going to demonstrate

to you that jesus was the greatest of

all the prophets

and even beyond being a prophet because

his miraculous power still works today

in his followers and we’re going to

demonstrate that that’s

active and real today because we aren’t

saying that we are prophets like him

but we carry him inside of us and so we

brought up i said if you’re a muslim and

you’re here and you have

severe back injury i said i want you to

come i said i need 10 or 12 to come up

to the stage we had

about 10 or 11 come up to the stage one

guy

is has a severe back injury because he’s

paralyzed and they bring it they lift

him up put him in a chair because he has

he’s been paralyzed for 10 years

if you want to see the video of this

stuff you can see it on like instagram

and stuff because it’s on it’s on our

stuff there

but all of a sudden we pray

or we rather what i did is i said now

let me show you

then show you the demonstration of how

powerful

jesus really is and that he is god and i

said i need

10 or 11 little christian girls to come

up here to the stage right now

now if you know anything about this

culture if you know anything what

what is happening here now our host is

really nervous like unbelievably now i

had told him i’d set it up i told him i

said listen

you got to trust me and i and we’re

actually paying for these meetings so i

don’t work for you

you work for me this is if i’m paying

you you work for me that’s just how it

rolls so we go up

and we have these little girls put their

hands and i said now repeat after me

and they repeat a prayer commanding

backs to be healed

so that everyone would know

that jesus is real and that his power

is still working and that he is the

greatest

not only of all the prophets but he is

the son of god

and is god and that for them to be

healed

half of them get instantly healed

including

an imam now

then the other half they were the rest

of them were at like

uh you know they only had 20 left so

they went from 10 to 2.

and so we prayed again had them pray

again the rest of them get completely

healed

totally healed you see the videos you

see the guy get up out of the chair

he’s totally i mean he couldn’t even

move his feet couldn’t do any of that

and he’s trotting across the stage his

back he’s been completely healed

completely restored

and then i looked at him and i said now

how many people did i just pray for that

experience healing

and you know of course it’s a crowd of

35 000 people to start shouting out

these numbers and i said

all of them were numbered i said wrong i

said

zero i didn’t pray for anybody i said

these little girls prayed

and of course you have to realize in in

the in islamic society they are the

lowest

of value because they haven’t reached

childbearing age yet

and i said they just they showed you

they put jesus

on display and showed you that jesus is

real he is

and i said now i said how many of you

want to give your light i said to these

guys i said how many of you want to give

your life to jesus because you’ve just

seen that he is real

he is god and he has come here and he’s

inviting you to your relationship

all of them raised their hands and then

i turned to the crowd and i said

if you’re a muslim stand to your feet

right now half of the crowd stands up

and i said now you have just seen this

demonstration

if you don’t want a relationship with

the jesus to just prove to he is

sit down only about 2 000 sat down

so over 15 000 are still standing

to accept christ we pray now that our

our

the guy who is hosting he’s he storms

off he’s like

you’re gonna get us all killed and i was

like we’re gonna see this nation

change you know and so anyway they

accepted christ the next night

we had 50 000 and the end doubled

in the training for the for the uh for

the other people we were at one location

because i wanted to go as

close to where uh because i

you know i ministered to the taliban and

some of the taliban leaders in

afghanistan

so we wanted to get as close to you know

that particular area as possible

we were heavy matter of fact we were

right across the street from where we

were meeting and this one

there were there were isis flags over

the building so there was like isis

leaders that were there

in the building and there we saw a guy

uh aaron my my pa who was a

second year student here uh he and i

looked and he’d been working hard i said

there’s a dude over there in a coma

and a bed they brought a dude in a bed i

said you’ve been working hard and you

haven’t had a chat i said go get him

and he runs over and he prays for the

guy and the guy

leaps out of bed wakes up leaps out of

bed

and everybody just began to stream guys

let me tell you something

and it was it was incredible because we

were doing it out on the streets that

that scared them more

than doing it in the arenas is doing it

out on the streets because they were

afraid of a mob never had one any

nothing came against us nothing i mean

you got to realize that the second trip

that same year that when i went to

afghanistan i was arrested twice

once by the military and then by the

police the second trip this was after

filming the the movie

and god mirac i mean we were like

canceling the meetings

we were going man you know like the host

was like we gotta cancel these meetings

we gotta we can’t

we can’t do these because it’s gonna you

know

it’s gonna put all the people all the

indigenous people in danger

and i looked at him i said we’re not

cancelling the thing i said this is

where

god shows up and he works a miracle

because that’s what god does

and he shows up and he works miracles

and they’re telling us

the military let us go miraculously i

mean

they interrogated us for three and a

half hours and then the millet the the

commander who was supposed to put come

and put a bullet in my head

he comes up to me and he’s holding my

passport which i was like that’s a good

sign

and he comes up to me and he goes we had

no i now i told the guys don’t call me

robbie because if they google robbie

dawkins

we’re dead i mean they’re going to kill

us and he comes up and he go

he looks at me and he goes we had no

idea who you were

and he said so we’re going to let you go

and i’m sorry

and i’m like in my head going who

do you think i am

but how i responded was like

that’s right

i don’t want to see this happen again

he gave us he said but the police are

going to come arrest you tomorrow we

can’t do anything but

they came and arrested us at the hotel

the next day took us in

same thing interrogation i mean i got i

sent bill a picture

in the cell that i was you know right

and they they they uh they took us in

and then he said

at the uh they were like we are gonna

watch you we are stationing

a guard outside your hotel door we are

watching everything you do

we know what you’re here to do we’re

you’re not gonna do it it’s not gonna

happen

and he said we we are going to watch

every move we

prayed and said god first of all we

don’t have a strategy other than

cancellation and we spent way too much

money

to get there and to make that and bring

people from all over the country to

train them

i was like we are not cancelling this so

lord

we’re relying on you we’re relying on i

mean you’re the god that does the

splits the red sea you know that needs

to happen now

so we prayed the next morning of course

i’m making this really short it doesn’t

sound like it but i promise

the next morning the guard was gone from

our hotel room

we looked outside there was a guy with

an ak-47 outside our room every you know

for two mornings we look he’s gone and

the newspaper is laying on our

right outside of our door and it says

this

it says donald uh president donald trump

this is the kabul times

announces the move of the u.s embassy

from jerusalem to tel aviv

now a we’re television television

television

sorry i got that television jerusalem

we’re excited about this news

we are stoked about this news i mean

we’re celebrating this news

the timing could not be worse it’s the

worst timing like this is not

riots break out on the street burning

the american flag death to the great

satan all this stuff

never saw the police or the military

again

never saw him again first time in

afghanistan history

where there were riots like that in the

street without one reported injury

or won fatality first time

in history that that had ever happened

but it created a perfect diversion to

where we were

we were ministering freely in the

streets never saw the police never told

the military

again never saw them again

and we made the enemy pay

for that attack for those riots by

getting it

taking as many as possible even though

there were none killed not bad

not bad

all right how many of you think that

maybe there’s a good anointing of

courage on these folks

if you want some of that stand why don’t

you pray over us

just pray randy clark every time he

introduces me he says

this is the most fearless man i know and

i tell them this last time we were in

san antonio i said randy please stop

introducing me like that because

it’s not true i said i’m not fearless

i said i feel fear like everybody else

just like everybody else i just refuse

to obey it

because i’ve decided fear’s a liar fear

is a liar and i’m not going to obey fear

because it’s not kingdom

fear is a liar so as the lord spoke to

joshua

hear this is the word of the lord for

yourself and i’m going to pray

as the lord spoke to joshua he said now

joshua take courage

and be courageous

he did not say he would give it to him

he said take it

and be it be very courageous

make courageous your new identity

because it’s who you really are take

courage

and be courageous so by the authority of

christ we pray against

this this we pray a tearing

of the veil to expose this lie of fear

that we have yielded to and say it’s a

fiery dart

and it we are turning it back on the

head that it came from because it

doesn’t belong to us

we are more than conquerors by the

authority of christ and fear you’re a

liar you’re a fiery dart from the spirit

of fear

and it’s a manifestation of that spirit

of fear and we expose

that spirit of fear now and say we will

not

bow to you anymore we won’t give you

credence

anymore because you’re a liar in the

name of jesus

break that but in acts 4 they cried out

you hear their threats against us now

give your servants

great boldness to never stop

and father i pray that you shake this

place as you did with that church

shake this place with great boldness to

never spot

to never stop despite the threats

despite the accusations despite

the terror that the enemy choices in to

never

ever ever stop

amen in the name of jesus be

filled with that now be filled with that

now

be filled with that now be filled with

that righteous boldness now

jesus mighty name that’s awesome

thanks

thank you thank you thank you thank you

bless him with you

you’re so good

well if you didn’t want to be bold or

courageous

you came the wrong night

because there’s a seed of something that

got planted i think in the hearts of

everybody in this room

so thankful for you guys i really am you

you just

rocked me every time i’m with you and i

love

i i especially love the finger

i can’t sleep every time i close my eyes

i see that lady

may that anointing come upon every

mother

in this room

amen all right we’ve we’ve had a great

night already

we’re not going to do any more except

tiny little fire tunnel

just a chance to pray for everyone and

uh

so we’re gonna do that in a moment we

could have ministry team up here

who’s heading this part of your come

help me out if you would

um let me just pray over everyone

although we’ve had 400 prayers already

tonight

let me just kind of finish with one last

prayer

and then we’re going to turn you loose

and we will receive instructions on what

to do

i would like ministry team to come on up

to the front and help us out here

but let me just pray very simply father

i ask

that the uh the peace of christ

will rest in a military fashion

upon us as your people you said that

that the prince of peace would crush

satan under our feet

so i pray right now that that

overwhelming sense of presence

would would um add a military

impact of our lives on our communities

we pray this in jesus wonderful man

amen amen all right now pay good

attention here

instructions

if you need to go obviously you’ve been

afraid to go all night go ahead help us

guys let’s give bill a hand thanks so

much for sharing

all right so ministry team come on

forward we’re gonna form two fire

tunnels

we’re gonna have two fire tunnels one to

the right one to the left

so ministry team come on forward begin

to form those tunnels

the line starts right here at the center

aisle you guys can filter around and

come forward in just a minute

guys i i feel like there’s going to be

an impartation of boldness

tonight as you go through that tunnel i

heard somebody say one of the most

clever ways to avoid following someone

is to put them on a pedestal and i want

to encourage you

to open your heart to receive that

impartation

as you go through the tunnel say i can

do that too and take it by faith

we’re gonna have two lines just right

here two lines down the center so go

ahead and separate into two lines

in this center aisle you’re either gonna

pick one side to the right or to the

left

you
