Just several weeks ago the Lord challenged me to revisit the word He gave me for 2010 as I was listening for the word of the Lord for 2011. 

2010 is an interesting number sequence. Only 2, Caleb and Joshua had increased enough to take possession of the land by giving a good report. The other 10 gave an evil report that caused an entire generation to miss their blessing. And 0 is what they had in common, but they were all Israelites.

Evil reports have been abounding. What are we saying? Remember, it affects everyone listening and God holds us responsible. Evil reports, if we let them into our spirit, will block our ability to increase. Talking about the giants was not the evil report; not believing that God could give them the victory was. Over a million people rejoiced and danced as the dry ground which they walked over in the Red Sea buried the enemy. Yet only two increased enough to enter into the Promised Land.

The Lord spoke to me at the turn of the year: "You must increase to participate in what I have for you in this coming season." The Lord had my full attention. Those words echoed through my spirit and mind. "You must increase."

What He had prepared for me was my destiny. It was reserved for me. It was my time. It is greater than anything I have done to this time. Yet I was not ready to participate in it according to His word. 

Bill Johnson is the Senior Leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California. He serves a growing number of churches that have partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in both purity and power.

Why You Should Listen

Johnson is a fifth-generation pastor and has held the position of senior leader at Bethel Church since 1996. He is known for leading a church and Christian movement with a large focus on miracles and the Holy Spirit. According to Christianity Today, Johnson has "considerable influence among charismatic Christians all over the world". Johnson joined Bethel with a stipulation that the message would always be about revival, with an emphasis on God's supernatural presence. The church lost a thousand members over his vision. However, under his leadership, the church has since grown from 2,000 members in 1996 to over 11,000 in 2019. His father, M. Earl Johnson, previously held the Senior Pastor position from 1968 to 1982, when Bethel Church was part of the Assemblies of God. Prior to this position, Johnson, along with his wife, served as the Senior Pastors of Mountain Chapel in Weaverville, California from 1978 to 1996.

Johnson attended a John Wimber signs and wonders conference in 1987 with the specific goal of seeking a revival of healing. He left discouraged because he had been teaching the same concepts John Wimber had been teaching, but the outcome was drastically different. Johnson states that this discouragement brought about a realization that faith required risk, and after this realization, the healing miracles began to happen. He traveled to Toronto, Canada in 1995 to attend some of the Toronto Blessing revival meetings. Johnson recounts receiving a fresh touch from God at these meetings that focused his life's work on pursuing the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. 

In 1998, Johnson, along with Bethel Senior Associate Leader Kris Vallotton, started the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry to train students to become revivalists. The school has over 2,000 students from 57 countries. Johnson is also part of the Core Residential Faculty at Wagner University in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
