Bill Johnson teaches on 3 keys for breakthrough: hope, celebration, and beauty. These three ‘ingredients’ are keys for thriving in life, and God’s way of sustaining you as you trust Him for the breakthrough you are contending for. These three elements in your life also reveal God’s Kingdom and awaken the hearts of those around you to the knowledge of the goodness of God. Hope, celebration, and beauty are close to God’s heart, and keys in your breakthrough. 4:28 Hope: Biblical hope is the joyful anticipation of good 12:41 Celebration: The joy of the Lord is your strength 24:37 Beauty: God is exchanging beauty for ashes Subscribe for weekly videos: https://bit.ly/bjmYoutube

God has purposed to take every pile of
ashes and turn it into Beauty he didn’t
determine to take every pile of ashes
and turn it into an acceptable
situation he actually determined to take
what was the most repulsive part of our
life and turn it into the most beautiful
part of our
[Music]
life thank you thanks good morning good
morning
wow
wow we had arise and build
um uh celebration a few weeks back in
September and we had uh more than 3.8
million has come in through cash and new
commitments since that Vision Sunday in
September uh gifts range from a dollar
to a half a million that’s good gifts
came from Reading Plus 49 states W plus

as you’re able
amen
now a
lawyer and an elderly gentlemen were
sitting next to each other on a long
flight the lawyer thinking he was so
much much more intelligent that he could
get one over on this senior quite easily
so the lawyer asked him if you’d like to
play a fun game senior’s tired he just
wants to take a nap so he politely
declines tries to go to sleep the lawyer
persists saying the game’s a lot of fun
I ask you a question if you don’t know
the answer you pay me only $5 then you
ask me one if I don’t know the answer I
pay you
$500 this catches the senior’s attention
to keep the lawyer quiet he he agrees to
play the lawyer ask the first question
what’s the distance from the Earth to
the Moon the older gentleman doesn’t say
a word reaches into his pocket pulls out
a $5 bill hands it to the lawyer now
it’s the senior’s turn he ask the lawyer
what goes up a hill with three legs and
comes down with four the lawyer uses his
laptop to search all references he can
find he sends emails to all of his smart
friends to no avail after an hour of
searching he finally gives up he wakes
up the senior hands him
$500 the senior puts the 500 in his
pocket goes back to sleep the lawyer is
going nuts not knowing the answer he
wakes up the senior he says so what goes
up a hill with three legs and comes down
with four the senior reaches into his
pocket has the hands the lawyer
$5 and goes back to sleep that’s
so h smart smart smart smart all right
grab gra your bibles if you would and
open to Isaiah
35 Isaiah
35 this is actually one of my uh
favorite chapters in The
Bible um I’ve told you before I I love
the discipline reading of scripture or
go Genesis to Revelation or maybe just
New Testament or just old but uh I I
like to to do book after book chapter
after
chapter but I have also what I call my
recreational reading where I just go
randomly to certain places that I just
enjoy so much and this would be this is
one of my cabin in the woods where I go
to hide out for a while just to to Feast
on the goodness of the Lord and what
what I want to do today is I want to
talk to you about I haven’t figured out
a title yet
so this is this is a description not a
title
indispensable
ingredients for a life of
Triumph so there’s a recipe that God
puts together and I want to bring uh
your attention our attention to three
specific things that probably most of us
have never considered those things
together so it’s it’s a little bit
different uh different approach that uh
we’ll be able to take today so let’s
let’s get moving Isaiah 35
beginning with verse one the Wilderness
and the Wasteland shall be glad for them
the desert shall rejoice and Blossom as
the
rose it shall Blossom abundantly and
rejoice even with joy and singing The
Glory of Lebanon shall be given to it
the Excellence of Carmel and Sharon they
shall see the glory of the Lord the
Excellency of our God okay stop right
there I just want to draw your attention
to uh prophetic
language um I I did a study a whole
bunch of years ago on every reference I
could find in the Bible of water whether
it be rain rivers pools Lakes Seas
whatever and the overwhelming conclusion
that I came to is almost every no matter
what the conflict or problem was for the
nation of Israel for an individual
didn’t matter what the problem was the
answer was water
and water over and over again is a move
of the holy spirit it’s something it
represents God invading a very broken
situation this is Illustrated even more
so in John chapter 7 where uh Jesus said
there’s uh there there’s a a a river of
Living Water in us and then following
his statement on that water it says and
this he spoke of concerning the spirit
so in other words he’s identifying the
fact that this River of water this
figurative this metaphoric language is
actually the movement of the holy spirit
so we see in scripture the downpour the
rain of the Holy Spirit the latter rain
it’s the outpouring of the spirit the
river outpouring of the spirit the pools
all these places almost all of them are
in some way a reference to God’s
Supernatural Invasion into broken
situations all right so when we see
deserts rejoicing we’re actually talking
about Barren places coming to life let’s
go right to verse three here’s a command
strengthen the weak hands make firm the
feeble knees say to those who are
fearful hearted be strong do not
fear behold your God will come with
vengeance with the recompense of God he
will come and save
you then the eyes of the blind shall be
open the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped the lame shall leap like a
deer the tongue of the dumb shall sing
for Waters will burst forth in the
wilderness and streams in the desert
stop right
there verse three strengthen the weak
hands make firm the feeble knees say to
those who are fearful hearted Don’t Be
Afraid now how many of you understand
when you’re afraid somebody telling you
not to be afraid doesn’t give you enough
information to pull you out of fear this
only works because it’s it it it it
draws I I don’t have the time to take
you through this but it’s in job and
Ephesians where what we say actually
paints a bullseye over somebody that
draws the hand of God into a very broken
situation it’s not an intellectual
debate to bring somebody out of
fear we are often Waiting for God to do
something and he’s waiting for us to say
something he said say to those who are
fearful yeah don’t be
afraid God will come with vengeance he
will have the last say in this issue he
will have the last word over the
situation in your life we can stand next
to one another and we can say I don’t
know how he’s going to do it I don’t
know when he’s going to do it but I am
confident as a loving father he will
have the last say in your given
situation don’t fear don’t fear because
you Mak an agreement with the Enemy
let’s stop the fear thing and right now
let’s stand strong and what it says it
says then the eyes of the blind will be
open so what is this encouragement is
always breeding or increasing the
atmosphere of
hope that’s what encouragement does
anytime you have a word of encouragement
of strength for somebody you’re building
in them a culture of
Hope biblical hope is different than
hope in our culture in our culture
um hope is like wish um I I sure hope
that happens um it’s it’s a it’s a shot
in the dark it’s is there’s nothing
guaranteed biblical hope is actually the
joyful anticipation of good it’s the
joyful expectation something
extraordinary is about to happen
therefore I’m going to Rejoice now as
though it has already
happened hope actually gives you
permission to celebrate the answer as
though it’s already happened yeah
yes one of the most essential
ingredients for a life of Victory is
maintaining hope and in the same way we
have people here speaking to one another
in the same way that the parts of our
body gives strength to the other parts
nutrients are released from one member
to another in the same way we have the
responsibility to bring strength to one
another by declaring over them the word
of the Lord
good the Lord is looking for you to say
something everybody in this room has a
gift a
capacity to
prophesy this
word says say to one another don’t be
afraid but then it says God will come
and is the prophetic
decree there are times where the hand of
the Lord is
actually I don’t I don’t know if if I’m
saying it right when I say restrained
withheld from a given situation until
somebody with responsibility which is
you and me says something and we make
the
decree the Lord is looking for agreement
by those he has assigned in Redemptive
roles to stand in a place where we
prophesy to one another God will come I
don’t know how I don’t know when but I
am confident in his in his role as
father as God he’s going to come and
fully vindicate
you that element of
hope I think is one of the most
important parts of the Christian Life
and if you can imagine everybody in this
room taking on that assignment right
there to make sure when we come together
when we come together uh Paul says in
Corinthians about when you come together
each one come with a song each one come
with a word with something to give to
somebody else the point is is we come
into the room or onto the property with
a Readiness to deposit in somebody
else’s life yes come on Sir what
happens that creates an atmosphere where
it can be
said then the eyes of the blind will be
open then the tongue of the dumb will be
unstopped the lame leap like a deer then
the the supernatural invasion of God
comes to restore broken places but it
was created by those who gave
hope we have
responsibility for
atmosphere often times we leave that
responsibility up to the worship team or
a few people that are leading a meeting
come on Sir walk in the door look for
someone to stand with and say your day
is
coming it’s coming is
coming I want you to go with me to
Nehemiah chapter
8 Nehemiah chapter 8 is one of my
another favorite so today you get
favorites it’s another favorite of mine
this story is so bizarre Ezra and
Nehemiah used to be one book those two
books and it talks about uh Israel that
were that was in Exile have been
released back to rebuild their Nation
specifically the city of
Jerusalem they were released back to
Jerusalem they first rebuilt the temple
and then built the walls of the city and
started rebuilding the city itself when
you got born again the first thing that
took place is the holy spirit moved into
your life creating you a temple of the
Holy Spirit then he began to rebuild the
parts of your life that keep you in a
place of strength and safety place of
protection Temple first city next and
it’s the same store for every one of us
wow in this
story they’ve already rebuilt the walls
the Temple’s in place the walls are
rebuilt it took they had tried for I
think it was 72 years to re re build the
walls of this city and failed the enemy
would come in night after night after
night and tear down whatever they
built Nehemiah comes whose name means
comforter he’s a picture of the Holy
Spirit he comes in to the situation and
he helps them to rebuild the walls and
they completed it in 52 days what they
couldn’t do in a lifetime they did in a
season with the help of the holy spirit
with the help of the comforter who led
them and guided them in this journey but
what happens now is they come to a place
where they discover the scriptures they
they I don’t think as I read it it looks
to me like no one in this generation had
ever heard the word of God being read
before so now they’re at what they call
the the Watergate they’re in an open
Square and the people all the people of
the community are there every age from
the smallest child to the oldest adult
they’re all in this city square and they
are standing from sunrise to Sunset so
they are there hours and hours and hours
of the day and they are just standing
the word of God is being read that
they’ve never heard before priests are
Running Out Among the people giving
translation because there’s language
issues and they’re giving explanation so
if you can imagine never hearing the
word of God before and for the first
time you’re hearing the scripture you
read and everybody in the crowd starts
wailing they start weeping and crying
because they realize through the reading
of the word God’s standard was up here
their lifestyle is down here and they’re
not even close and so they start weeping
and mourning because of of of having
failed the Lord their entire life and
they didn’t even know it till this
moment so they’re weeping and weeping
this is where we’re going to get into
into the middle of the story verse eight
Nehemiah 8 ver8 Nehemiah who was the
governor Ezra the priest and Scribe the
Levites who taught the people said to
all the people this day is Holy to the
Lord our your God do not mourn or weep
for all the people wept when they heard
the words of the law stop right
there how many of you were raised in
church how many of you grew up thinking
mourning and weeping was how you were
holy the more depressed you were the
more holy you were my my wife never
wanted to be an intercessor at all
because every intercessor she knew was
depressed so so thus she wrote the book
happy intercessor
so here we’ve got this interesting
picture he says don’t mourn or weep why
CU this day is
Holy this is every evangelist
dream you’ve got the entire crowd
weeping and mourning waiting for the
altar call and then the word of the Lord
comes out and says stop crying stop
mourning and listen to God’s
prescription verse 10 then he said to
them go your way eat the fat drink the
sweet send portions to those for whom
nothing is prepared for this day is Holy
to the Lord do not sorrow for the joy of
the Lord is your strength that’s where
that phrase comes from the joy of the
Lord is your strength so the Levites
quieted all the people saying be still
the day is Holy don’t be grieved and all
the people went their way to eat to
drink to send portions and to Rejoice
greatly listen to the phrase because
they understood the words of the
law I don’t know what you what you do
with this this this one has been a um
kind of a Cornerstone concept for me for
a whole bunch of
years that there are times
where well let me put this way it takes
greater Faith to Rejoice before you’ve
been
transformed into what God is saying than
it does after you’ve been walking in
Victory for a
season and the Lord is always looking
for authentic expressions of faith and
to celebrate God’s goodness and the
power of his word and his will to
celebrate that before there’s been
personal transformation takes a lot
greater faith it actually takes a
supernatural Faith because the most the
the thing that we’re most inclined to do
is evaluate oursel and respond
accordingly instead of evaluating him
and responding
accordingly this second ingredient is
celebration it’s to
celebrate it’s to make sure everybody
around you has enough to celebrate the
goodness of God with yeah but our
standard of life is So Below what he
requires of us that’s right we’re going
to Rejoice our way into
maturity in the
world we Rejoice because we’re happy in
the Kingdom we’re happy because we
Rejoice there’s a different approach to
almost everything in life in the Kingdom
whereas we take this moment to express a
confidence in the goodness of God and
faith and actually start celebrating
before we have any logical reason to
celebrate and it was that celebration
that introduced them to Grace there are
a number of times throughout scripture
throughout Old Testament where you
actually
see Old Testament people David’s life is
is one profound example where they they
illustrate Grace in an Old Testament
context Grace is the enabling power of
God and you see that in this moment they
didn’t deserve it but they’re able to
celebrate ahead of
time celebration involves a couple
things that uh are important for us to
look at today uh one is uh the obvious
is joy joy is a is a um a
profound
um fruit or evidence of the spirit of
God working in a person’s life and what
you can do is it’s actually possible to
make
decisions that reinforce a lifestyle
Joy here’s a strange verse for you I
think it’s in the second Psalm it says
Rejoice with
trembling Rejoice with trembling
obviously rejoicing is not connected to
a giddy feeling it’s not connected to be
overwhelmingly happy because
everything’s working out right it’s
actually a decision to make out of the
fear of
God
good point
Bill all right here’s an interesting
thing on
play scientists have discovered that it
takes approximately 400 repetitions to
create a new synapse in the brain that’s
connection neurons to neurons
communicating information to create a
new synapse in the
brain unless it’s done in play in which
case it only takes 10 to 20
repetitions
scientists have discovered it takes
approximately 400 repetitions to create
a new synapse in the brain unless it’s
done in
play in which case it only takes 10 to
20
repetitions when the Lord commanded us
to become like children play was a part
of the
assignment
my assistant Michael uh van tinan was
reading a book about this subject and
showed me a a particular chapter that uh
really fascinated me I I recorded part
of the story in one of my books but I
can’t find what book it was in it’s very
pitiful so I have to do it from memory
which is
sketchy I I give you the
adjustment they took uh two groups of
doctors and they gave these two groups
of doctors the same list of uh symptoms
of a disease and then they put in the
list of
symptoms misleading information so they
they’ve got symptoms symptoms misleading
information sprinkled throughout and
these two groups of doctors are supposed
to analyze these symptoms and come up
with the
diagnosis well one group was given a
piece of candy
before they started and the other group
was
not the doctors who got the candy came
to a conclusion much quicker and were
able to decipher what information was
was
misleading than the ones without the
candy so obviously candy is the answer
to
everything that’s that’s so strange and
there’s example after example after
example of how people in
play learn so much
quicker and their able their ability to
reason through difficult bits of
information is is much more effective
play We’re supposed to grow down not
up but we tend to grow
up if you think about it these issues of
hope and celebration or play are some of
the elements that are the uh the fastest
to
discard when difficulties
come when challenges come in life those
are the things that are put aside so
that we can become more serious and give
attention to issues not realizing that
in this Kingdom play is what brings
breakthrough
Joy the celebration of s simple
things all of it is a part of the
expression of the kingdom of
God there’s a verse I want to read for
this third
element that’s in Isaiah
61 so if you turn there with me we’ll
read a couple verses then we’ll just uh
talk for a bit and try to wrap this
up Isaiah
61 we’ll start with verse one we’re just
going to read the first first three
verses great verses familiar verses but
for familiar for a
reason the spirit of the Lord God is
upon me because the Lord has anointed me
to preach Good Tidings to the poor he
has sent me to heal the brokenhearted to
Proclaim Liberty to captives the opening
of the prison to those who are bound to
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord
that have Vengeance of our God to
comfort all who mourn to so those who
mourn in Zion to give them Beauty for
Ashes oil of joy for mourning Garment of
Praise for the spirit of heaviness
there’s a lot of passages throughout
scripture to reinforce the point I want
to make right now but I want to just
take this one
phrase Beauty for
Ashes Beauty for Ashes ashes are what’s
left over after the enemy’s been
involved in the situation in our
lives scripture says he came to kill
steal destroy so wherever there’s death
lost destruction those are
ashes God has purposed to take every
pile of ashes and turn it into
Beauty he didn’t determine to take every
pile of ashes and turn it into an
acceptable
situation he actually determined to take
what was the most repulsive part of our
life and turned it into the most
beautiful part of our life I heard a
prophetic word uh years ago probably
goodness 40 years ago the where the Lord
spoke and he said I’m not going to
remove the scars from your
life instead I’m going to arrange them
as carvings on a fine piece of
Crystal only he can take the most broken
parts of our lives and make them not
only
okay but actually testimonies of Beauty
on of
Wonder beauty is I think probably one of
the most
um um easiest subjects to bypass in the
kingdom when in fact it’s a it’s a
backbone of all that God has
created he created the Garden of Eden
Eden means ecstasy pleasure Delight so
it’s a place of perfect Beauty perfect
pleasure then he creates Adam puts him
in that Garden then Eve which means he
created the environment to sustain Adam
before he created Adam so anytime he
puts you into a situation you have
everything in that situation you need to
thrive it’s already there we just need
eyes to see it we need the eyes to
recognize that’s what God has put in my
life let me tell you something the worst
day of your life that you ever had the
sun still rose on the day and it was
beautiful and the sun set on that day
and it was
beautiful all around us God has marked
even the most horrendous situations of
life never do we say that this abuse or
that uh that disaster is okay but God is
able to take that and turn it into
something that actually is beautiful uh
we we look with Wonder at what at what
God has done done
Beauty I was reading through a book a
while back I did find this quote I I put
it in one of my books and I found it so
I felt quite happy this
morning it’s in the power the changes
the
world um but this this thing of beauty
is bigger than I than I think at least
in many of our cultures uh it’s bigger
than we think so let me read a couple
paragraphs to
you in his wonderful book Beauty will
save the world author Brian Zan repeats
an important story from church history
mentioned in his Prelude a thousand
years ago Vlad uh Prince Vladimir the
Great was looking for a new religion
that might unite his people although he
himself was a heathen he recognized that
spirituality might bring his people
together in a common Bond he sent
allegations into the neighboring
countries to examine their religions and
the effect on their lives the envoy to
examine Christianity went to the
Byzantine uh capital of
Constantinople below is his
response then we went to Constantinople
and they led us to the place where they
worshiped their God and we knew not
whether we were in heaven or Earth for
on Earth there is no such Vision nor
Beauty we do not know how to describe it
we only know that God dwells among men
we cannot forget that
beauty this is a testimony to the power
of beauty the words of these delegates
were in response to the Christians
worship of God and to the aesthetic
Beauty in their surroundings that they
created to honor God this beauty won
their hearts heathens were drawn to God
because there was a generation given the
Liberty to create Beauty wherever they
had
influence this gift of creative
expression represents the nature of God
as such it reveals him and has an effect
on people’s awareness of the heart of
God I think
beauty is supposed to be a
priority I think it’s worth fighting
for beauty usually
takes just a little bit extra
effort that’s
intentional something happens to the
conscience something happens to the
conscience and
the the mental space of a person that
sees
beauty that came from his design from
his
hand it’s everywhere good few years ago
I was in
Alaska uh
amen doing an Outreach yes for
moose
[Applause]
it fruitful and it was
fruitful he was instantly
converted into something beautiful
something beautiful thank you
exactly he was instantly
transformed
into something that would sustain
Revival that’s that’s backstraps
backstraps yeah and I remember sitting
on the hillside I mean we’re just we’re
out in the the
tundra and U sitting on this Hillside
and his blueberries everywhere was like
a zillion
blueberries and these these tiny little
flowers They’re goodness they they’re
between a eighth and a quarter inch
large and there’s just literally
trillions of them for miles and miles
and
miles he didn’t need to make that that’s
right hardly any of them that existed
over those miles will ever be touched or
even visibly looked upon by another
human being I have my doubts that the
Grizzlies that we saw walked around
admiring the little
flowers he just he can’t help it he just
makes beautiful things
yeah it’s actually a part of being
Christlike is that you think in terms of
beauty
it’s just that little bit extra
effort to do your best to represent him
it may be in your I’m I’m going to get a
little weird now but it may be in your
vocabulary it may be in the fact that
you take a little bit longer to write
that thank you note it may be that you
don’t just hang the picture anywhere on
the wall but but you actually think
before you put it up on it might
be it might be you know simple things
like the way you address your kids I’m
I’m I’m not trying to make turn this
into a materialistic thing I’m I’m just
trying to
say people in history have been drawn to
God because somebody made a priority of
beauty it testifies testifies of his
creative nature testifies to his
order and there’s something about this
unusual Trio of ingredients that makes
this unusual recipe of Triumph and
victory for the believer it’s hope and
its celebration amen and then you add
Beauty it’s the mixture of those three
things that actually position
us to rise
higher
yep one of our
alumni just uh a month or so
ago we getting
married and uh
they were getting married in
Jerusalem and then I don’t know two days
three days day before the
wedding that horrible horrible war broke
out in
Israel and I’m I’m not asking you to
make a judgment call I’m sharing with
you something that I celebrate they
chose to go and have the wedding in the
middle of the most most horrendous
environment which prophesies to me the
incredible contrast that God creates in
a world where there’s chaos and there’s
somebody willing to stand up and say
yeah but this is
[Applause]
beautiful I think in some strange way
beauty Beauty generosity celebration
those three things and probably a
zillion more those things awaken the
conscience of a person to the existence
and the goodness of
God and you and I have the ability to
reinforce
that I mean as you go out to lunch today
it’s it’s just simply eye to eye contact
with the waitress saying thanks not just
a passing comment but actually a
contribution followed with a generous
tip but
I
contribution it’s it’s it’s it’s thought
see we’re supposed to love God with all
of our minds which means I’m supposed to
think through things yes it’s part of my
offering it’s part of my offerings that
I don’t just randomly do things actually
I become intentional in doing it this
way why because I thought about it and
it seems this would illustrate him
better amen yeah amen it’s the privilege
it’s the privilege of having this
bizarre
recipe of Hope of Celebration and
Beauty put together into a meal that
actually feeds the world on the goodness
of God why don’t you
[Applause]
[Music]
stand
one of the things I I uh I have
become convinced of is is the uniqueness
of Revival reformation and
Renaissance
and this book I did on Open Heavens I
try to identify these three
things Revival is where we learn the
fear of
God it’s where we lose the fear of man
it’s where we discover the power of
God Reformation Reformation is where you
inherit the favor of
man because you start discovering the
mind of God and he starts revealing
things that actually work they transform
your life transform Society
but
Renaissance is where you discover the
beauty of
God and I I don’t I don’t think those
are
three stages I think the three elements
that are supposed to be
continuously embraced and lived out
because in some cases only the Bold
preaching of the Gospel will work in
other cases it’s the subtlety of beauty
that
works it’s it’s each has has a
place and what we get to do is approach
this world with an absolute commitment
and Devotion to see it transformed
transformed into the likeness of Heaven
itself it’s not a random prayer that
Jesus told us to pray to keep us
inspired it’s a Mandate of Heaven on
Earth as it is in
heaven the beauty that exists there is
to be the beauty that exists here so
father I just ask that uh you’d give us
give us a Grace once again I pray for
this I pray for grace all the time for
us but give us a
Grace to spread hope to live in
celebration with
play and to Value
Beauty to celebrate Beauty in the most
awkward times yes we honor you for this
great
privilege before anybody moves around or
leaves I want to ask a question if there
there’s anyone here you’re in this place
today and you don’t have a personal
