Supernatural Power of A Transformed Mind, Session 7. Full e-course available on faithandflame.plus
In this sermon, Bill Johnson addresses the crucial topic of handling disappointment and maintaining faith during challenging times. He begins by acknowledging that believers often face crises that test their faith, such as losing a loved one, experiencing a broken marriage, or a failed business. Johnson emphasizes that these tragedies are not orchestrated by God, even though He can bring good out of them.
Johnson uses the story of John the Baptist in Matthew 11 to illustrate his point. Despite knowing that Jesus was the Messiah, John the Baptist experienced doubt while in prison because Jesus didn't fulfill his expectation of being released. Johnson explains that focusing on what God hasn't done can lead to offense and unbelief. Instead, he encourages believers to remember and focus on what God has done.
He highlights the importance of remembering God's past interventions and testimonies to stay encouraged and maintain a hopeful outlook. Johnson stresses the need to celebrate God's goodness, even in the midst of pain and confusion, as an act of faith and worship. He concludes by praying for grace to handle disappointments and to always give glory to God.
