Throughout history, the people of God have always been most vulnerable to error in times of blessing. In this sermon, Bill Johnson talks about the challenge of blessing, teaching from the life of King Solomon. We often see persecution strengthening and establishing purity of faith, but it’s the blessing of the Lord that is to draw people to Himself. The challenge to us is to steward blessing well.

I am convinced God called me to go to South Africa to work in a ministry there. I obediently sold my home and all my household goods, and relocated to Southern California to be prepared to get my visa through the consulate in Los Angeles. In the middle of that transition, I was asked to delay coming. It has now been one year and ten months, my reserves are gone, and I’m job hunting to supplement my Social Security. I recently spoke with my prospective host in SA, and he said it’s okay to come, and there is a place for me. There are several pieces that have to come together before I can move ahead, and I am determined to do nothing to push the doors open, but to be completely attuned to the Lord’s direction, wisdom and timing. I know the cost of jumping into things out of God’s season, and I will not repeat that mistake. WISDOM, WISDOM, WISDOM!!!! There is no substitute for HIS wisdom.

I wish i knew of this preacher years ago. I only discovered him in 2021/22 and he preaches about a limitless God and a defeated devil. I look foreard to hearing God's messages through him

i studied the chapter about the Lord granting Solomon's wish in bible college a few months ago , it could be worth noting that Solomon was breaking a law in Duet about worshiping God in places in the Lord did not specifically designate, it was a violation of the law, you can try to find it in Duet! Bill is my fav pastor thanks for sharing!

Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. It is around the corner, so I don't want to back down until it is brought and made visible to me by God. He is in control :)

What a powerful sermon! Funny enough I was compelled to pickup “the power that changes the world” about a week ago. The Lord is breathing on this. THANK YOU

The instructions for the tabernacle built in the wilderness was quite detailed. I would presume the tabernacle of David’s day would have maintained that design and materials.

20:30 sometimes you can make decisions in your sleep because you are possessed with an idea while you’re awake. King Solomon.

Thanks for another amazing sermon. I really love the point about the difference between Solomon and Davids ministry. I always thought King Soloman (peace) as a parable represented Jesus. I had always wondered if his enormous number of wives was meant to represent the churches connected/betrothed to Christ. The "elect ladies" if you will as in 2 John. That seems to be the case in Song of soloman.
