In this sermon clip, Bill Johnson teaches how God’s plan is to heal the planet, not destroy it, and that His plan is to bring healing through His sons and daughters. The Gospel we received is a gospel of healing and redemption, and Jesus promised that miracles, signs, and wonders would follow those who believe. Let the Holy Spirit empower you and fill with the boldness of the Gospel as you co-labor with Him to walk in Jesus’ footsteps, to bring redemption and healing to a hurting world.
God actually plans on healing the planet
he actually values this planet
after he made everything everything he
made he said it’s good and after he made
you he said Ah that’s very good
verse 15 he said to them go into all the
world
preach the gospel to Every Creature I
like that it says every creature not
that I
intend to lead
the mule dear to the Lord before
they’re harvested
that was rather brutal sorry somebody
else
that God actually plans on healing the
planet yes
he actually values this planet
after he made everything everything he
made he said it’s good and after he made
you he said Ah that’s very good
he recognized the quality of his own
work and everything that he made
and his desire isn’t to destroy it
his desire is to revive and to renew and
the gospel that we carry is supposed to
Encompass a vision to Bringing healing
to a planet
if only the unbeliever has the vision
for taking care of the planet
they will always make it a god
if only the unbeliever
carries the message of bringing healing
to a planet then will serve the creation
and not the Creator
The Church Must recover our assignment
not in in uh in contempt not in uh you
know not in a fight but just stewarding
what God has given to us
preach the gospel to Every Creature
verse 16 he who believes and is baptized
will be saved don’t ever underestimate
the power of water baptism
he who does not believe will be
condemned and these signs will follow
those who believe
in my name they will cast out demons
they will speak with new tongues they
will take up serpents if they drink
anything deadly like coffee it will by
no means hurt them
thank you Lord
Grace was extended over coffee
it will by no means hurt them they will
lay hands on the sick and they will
recover stuff right there for a minute I
was yesterday I was uh uh looking at
actually listening to a
a YouTube video but it was just audio
there’s nothing to watch on uh John
Wesley on somebody reading out of his
personal Journal
and he was I don’t remember all the
details but he was extremely sick very
very ill
and he this verse came to mind that
these signs will follow those who
believe now John Wesley is the father of
the whole Methodist movement
he has this verse come to mind these
signs will follow them who believe and
he prays
and he experiences a bizarre
Supernatural healing of something that
was derailing him from his extensive
travels in preaching the gospel and he
was able to step step back into the
pulpit because of the miracle of healing
that he experienced in his own body I
love reading the stories of some of
these these Saints of old who believed
in this
but somehow it got removed from the
history books
it’s true
the shantung Revival in China One of the
most bizarre
Baptist revivals ever
had almost every manifestation in that
Revival that happened in Toronto
but in the reprint of the book all those
things are removed
to make it clean
Randy Clark printed the original
so you can find it
the point is
these signs follow those who believe
you know when we have a healing meeting
people will say well you’re not supposed
to follow signs
signs are supposed to follow you well my
response is if they’re not following you
follow them till they follow you
know you know if if you’re in the
environment long enough it’ll get on you
all right let’s wrap it up verse 19 and
20.
after the Lord had spoken to them he was
he was received up into heaven
sat down at the right hand of God
and they went out and preached
everywhere the Lord working with them
confirming the word through the
accompanying signs amen read verse 20
again this is fascinating to me and I’ll
tell you why before I read it most of
the time we will emphasize find what God
is doing
enjoying what he is doing but in this
verse the emphasis is different he said
the Lord worked with them
and they went out and preached
everywhere the Lord working with them
confirming the word through the
accompanying signs
sometimes nothing happens because we
haven’t said anything
let me rephrase it
anyone can boldly make a decree after
God has shown up and is performing
miracles
but show me the person who will make the
Bold decree before he comes and I’ll
show you where he’s going to come
the Bold decree
attracts him into an environment to
confirm his word remember this is his
word people become offended through
history because somebody who’s living an
immoral lifestyle you know prays for the
sick and they get healed well I don’t
like it either but God’s confirming his
word he’s not confirming the person
it’s never okay but he still will
confirm his word actually no years ago a
a woman part of this church her husband
was not a Believer and someone at his
workplace asked him how to get saved and
this unbeliever led his work mate to the
Lord
that shouldn’t be right
but he can do whatever he wants in
Psalms 115 God does as he pleases
this passage reminds me of
the one in Acts 4
was in verse 23 he says take note of
their threats
Peter just been released from prison so
he’s praying says God take note of their
throats they’ve threatened that if we
ever preach in your name again they’ll
harm us take note of their threats and
Grant that your bond servants can speak
your word with all boldness
now the previous chapter said they were
arrested because they preached with
boldness
boldness got them in trouble now Peter’s
saying increase that that got us in
trouble
apparently we did it with partial
boldness we now want to go all in with
all boldness
the church tends to dumb down the
message so that we don’t offend Peter’s
saying let’s amp it up a little bit here
I didn’t give you permission to be
obnoxious
take note of the threats grant that your
bond servants can speak your word with
all boldness while you extend your hand
to heal and signs and wonders take place
through the name of your holy servant
Jesus
I I just want to encourage you I want to
challenge you
that the message of the resurrected
Christ boiling you until you cannot help
but speak because the Bold Proclamation
is what attracts the hand of God into
impossible situations
the decree releases the hand of God we
don’t control him by any means but he’s
already revealed his heart to us and
he’s looking for a people who will
boldly declare it and so this verse ends
the chapter and ends our message this
morning they went out preached
everywhere the Lord working with them
confirming the word through the
accompanying signs amen
every time
every time
you talk stop and talk to a friend
about the Lord every time
you take just that moment at work or at
home in your neighborhood whatever
just to pray for a friend who’s
going through hell every time you take
any one of those moments
what you’re doing
as you’re declaring Jesus is Alive
and I want now to introduce you to the
resurrected one
everything in our relationship with the
Holy Spirit is about discovering and
manifesting the resurrected Christ
everything is connected because without
the resurrection there is no forgiveness
of sin it is all connected to the
resurrection
you and I are alive to illustrate he’s
alive
well I understand
Jesus came
to God
flesh
gave himself
as a sacrifice
to pay a price none of us could afford
he paid it so that the power of
self-destruction would be broken off of
our lives forever
he paid it he took my place in death so
I could take his place in life
he conquered death he rose from the dead
and now we make the proclamation
Jesus is here to save
he is here to deliver
is here to heal yeah I’m so glad that
you watched this video I do pray that
it’s a great great strength and
encouragement to you and I’ve got a
verse that it really is My Cry for all
of us and it’s Psalms 20 it’s verse 4.
may he grant you your heart’s desire and
fulfill all your plans
that’s my prayer that’s my prayers that
this would be the season of rich rich
fulfillment
thanks for joining us
