I managed to connect yesterday via Skype to Bethel Church in Redding, CA, for a Global Legacy conference call with Bill Johnson. In these monthly sessions, Bethel will usually have one of their leaders address the listeners via a conference call with several hundred participants. This month we had Bill Johnson address us - Awesome!

• Bill shared on our aim in this move being a true Reformation.
  • This starts with transformation. We need to constantly ask ourselves “what do I want my city to look like?” “What do I want my church / family / workplace to look like?”
• One key issue within this is that we will reproduce what we carry within.
  • The corollary to this is that I cannot release something that I do not have.
  • Acts 3- Peter, with John, told the paralytic, “What I do have I give you”
  • We cannot give cheques we do not have funds for
    • We need a greater revelation of what Jesus has deposited in the account
• Partnership with heavenly realities causes a release in heaven and an invasion.
  • We draw the heavenly through our speech
  • Our words regarding how wonderful Jesus is draws the angelic into the room
    • They are fascinated with Jesus
    • Angels enforce God’s assignment and the voice of His word (Psalm 103) – the voice of His word is what He speaks to you
      • We are God’s delegated authority
      • We declare what God speaks to our hearts – this attracts the angelic as we align ourselves with heavenly realities.
• We have been commissioned to change the world through speech
  • John 6 – Jesus’ words were spirit and life.
    • As He spoke His words became spirit
    • Rom 14 – the Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
• Fatherhood delights in the success of the children – the children going places where the Father would not have an opportunity to
  • Creating an empowering culture around us – in our churches etc
    • Culture of honour
• Deal with internal issues first – stress, anxiety, jealousy, fear
  • Of all people, pastors should be the ones with the shortest accounts
    • They will reproduce what they carry within
    • We will transfer what is inside into our atmosphere.
