Hosting the Presence Teaching Series with Bill Johnson

He could have done it all on His own, but God chose to create man in His own image so we could co-reign the earth with Him. In this first teaching, you will understand the authority God has instilled in us as His children, how it was lost in Eden, and how Jesus restored it back to us once again.

Jesus has restored us to a position of power and has entrusted the Spirit to us, but do we truly believe we are significant in the Kingdom? He chose us before time to partner with Him in making all things new! You will learn in this session how the renewed mind is confident in what God has done, and we have everything we need to fulfill our mission here on Earth.

When we trust in Jesus, the Holy Spirit makes our bodies His temple, empowering us for even greater works than Jesus did on earth. Explore in this session what it means to be empowered by God's presence, how your unique gifts and personality can flavor the Gospel message you preach, and the encouraging truths that the Lord is proud to make Himself known to you and through you.

The House of God, first mentioned in the book of Genesis, is the gate of Heaven--a place where the Presence of God manifests and bridges two worlds. In this teaching, you will learn the history of God's house in Scripture, how it manifests today, and how when we pursue God's presence, open heavens become a normal part of the Christian life.

Every believer lives under an open Heaven, an invitation to experience God in His fullness in our day-to-day lives. He has poured out His Spirit on us, and we have an ongoing invitation to transforming encounters with Him. This session, you will learn the importance of knowing what you've inherited and how to take it into your possession.

The Old Testament sets the stage for New Testament Christianity, displaying the power of God's presence. In this session, you will discover the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, the spiritual significance of offering God sacrifices of praise, and how worship invites transforming encounters with the Lord.

The presence of God that you carry is powerful to heal people and transform environments. But how do we actually release it? You'll learn in this session four practical ways to share the peace of God's Presence with those around you, and how God's Kingdom is manifest in His Presence.

God has given us a compelling invitation to the greatest adventure of all time. Will we take Him up on His offer? In this final session, Pastor Bill teaches on the baptism of fire and the price we are sometimes called to pay for greater depths of intimacy. If we are hungry for more of the Lord, we will take every risk necessary to encounter Him.
