The Danger of Gossip in the Church - Bill Johnson Full Sermon | Bethel Church

Published 2023-03-30
Gossip is deceptive and destructive in nature. Through gossip, the enemy seeks to destroy both the one the gossip is about, as well as the gossiper. In this full sermon, Bill Johnson warns about the danger of gossip in the church, and how it creates a stronghold for the enemy. Though the enemy may not be able to cool our affection for the Lord or distract us from our passion for Him, he works to defile the anointing we walk in through carelessness in our speech or animosity harbored in our hearts towards others.

    Dear Pastor Bill. I realized that when Jesus took away my desire for gossip, I was no longer interesting to my friends, even brothers and sisters in faith. They became fewer relatively quickly. And when you only talk about Jesus because the Spirit in us wants you to, they have become so few that maybe only 1 or 2 are left. But even when I am all alone, I have Jesus and with Him I have everything I need. God's blessing and LG🙏🙌🙏
  • "Gossip perverts the beauty and the power of the word of the tongue ".
  • “Words host presence.” Jesus said His words were Spirit. Wow. Be careful, little mouth, what you say.

    Praise the Lord. I run as far away from slander & gossip. Therefore I barely have friends and that’s ok.

    I had to text a friend and repent for a "prayer request" for a former classmate. Conviction came, repentance followed and refreshing was the result! I renounce gossip in all forms today!! Thank you, Bill, for this awesome meessage!!

    I give no place to gossip but seek the source which is Satanic 😢influences that kills the spirit and removes GODS blessings from those wicked people 😢
  • @csmith7262
    There should be less laughter, and greater repentance and sorrow for what's been destroying relationships, communities, and Christian testimonies! Our hearts should be grieving deeply over what gossip has done amongst God's people. O God, deliver us from the kingdom of darkness where this evil communication breeds, and festers!

    Gossip jumps on board with the Accuser of the Brethren! Lots of Presumption!
  • A really good word❣️ A fly in the perfume is such a good picture of gossip and all its relatives, which at the time can seem like such a little thing, yet it contaminates our beautiful fragrance of Christ to the world, ourselves, and the Father. Great teaching that helped me put an extra watch over my mouth…🤐💒💞🤐
