This is a bit of a sideline but I wanted to record the tweets I made during the Bill Johnson Conference (Your Kingdom Come) in Reading (UK) last night. It was an amazing experience and I want to remember the words of wisdom I picked up as I listened to him
Nothing happens in the kingdom that is not first declared
Testimony prophesises show what is possible so it can be done again for others
Sit and share stories of what has been done, this will inspire others in knowing and they will join you
Celebrate what God is doing without holding him hostage for what he hasn't done
Don't so much protect what you have, instead strive forward to advance further
People are already disappointed; tell the stories, give testimony, give them hope and it will happen!
God is better than we think so let's change how we think. Let us be overwhelmed with his goodness
Work to find the gold within people. any prospector will tell you how easy it us to find dirt so let us look for the gold.
Concepts are easy, experiences are not. More important to live lessons than quote scripture.
Having internal peace whilst surrounded by storms allows you to calm the storm. Your internal reality becomes your external reality - this is my favourite - counselling, spirituality, christianity, peace - here we all agree!
Is faith evidenced by answers to prayer? or is prayer ultimate passing of the buck? We need to learn to become part of the solution/answer!
we need to pray but we must then do the footwork to bring gods plans to fruition. God wants us to become his adult children, not toddlers
Churches must teach AND do; one or other alone is not enough.
Loaves&fishes - Jesus blessed food, the disciples actually handled it as it multiplied -they were the ones who did it! We can do it too!
For nothing is impossible with God! This verse when translated from root this can be read - no word of god will come without an ability to perform itself!
Miracles are the teachers to let us see into the unseen. They prepare us and equip us to go forward in our vocations.
Get out of anxiety, out of fear, quiet your soul and you will see the tools you have been given so you can go forth and help others
PS - Bill was talking about his books and his healing CDs which really appealed to me, afterwards he had some handed out so I raised my hand and I was lucky enough to received one. I was obviously meant to have his healing CD, after all it's good for a pastoral carer! Thank you
