8acd098 We will no longer make up excuses for powerlessness because powerlessness is inexcusable. Our mandate is simple: raise up a generation that can openly display the raw power of God. This book is all about that journey...the quest for the King and His Kingdom. Bill Johnson

6421b42 God's agenda is so glorious, and His love and purposes for our lives are so great, that everything else pales in comparison. We should all be like Nehemiah, who, when the enemies of Israel tried to get him to come out of the city and talk with them on the Plain of Ono, said, "...I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?" christian-living christian-values encouraging humor priorities Bill Johnson

f8b1172 Consider almost any public issue. Today's Democratic Party and its legislators, with a few notable individual exceptions, is well to the right of counterparts from the New Deal and Great Society eras. In the time of Lyndon Johnson, the average Democrat in Congress was for single-payer national health insurance. In 1971, Congress overwhelmingly passed the Comprehensive Child Development Act, for universal, public, tax-supported, high-quality.. Robert Kuttner
7915e29 We must get our minds set on spiritual things because as long as we fill our minds with what's happening in the natural, we restrict our effectiveness. We may rise up now and then and score a victory with the gift of faith, but we won't have the continual influence of Kingdom transformation flowing through us. Bill Johnson

02fe9c3 In a November 13, 1988, Washington Post opinion piece titled "What a Real President Was Like," Bill Moyers noted that in 1960 in Tennessee after a meeting with local dignitaries, then-Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson said something that rings so true this day: "If you can convince the lowest White man he's better than the best Colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.

73ce3dc Who are "they"? It's the afflicted, brokenhearted, captives, prisoners, mourners, burned-out ones, and the fainting ones because of weakness described in verses 1-3. Think about this. The most broken in society, the ones the Church often rejects, and society certainly rejects, are the ones anointed by God to rebuild our cities that have been destroyed through devastation. They are the builders. Seeing their significance before they have ear.. Bill Johnson
8799157 The standard for the Christian life should not be set by those who have lost their ability to dream for the impossible. Pursuing the impossible is our nature in Christ. Now and Not Yet The Kingdom of God is both now and not yet. Bill Johnson

3f5925e When they heard the testimony of what God had done, the anointing on the testimony opened a realm of possibility. The atmosphere became pregnant with the opportunity for the miracle that had been described in the testimony to be duplicated.

2630ac6 I could feel Rick's eyes on me the whole time as I drove. I already knew what he was thinking about, but I hoped that he didn't try to start any mess in this car, especially while my kids were with me. The weather was terrible outside, making it extremely hard for me to see. "Where you get that cash from that I saw in your purse?" Rick asked me. I cursed myself for leaving the money that Antonia had given me the other day in my purse. When .. Diamond Johnson
dbef3a9 The immigration laws that were in force until 1965 were a continuation of earlier laws written to maintain a white majority. However, after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited racial discrimination in employment and accommodation, a racially restrictive immigration policy was an embarrassment. The Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965--also known as the Hart-Celler Act--abolished national origins quotas an.. diversity immigration laws race Jared Taylor

d55eae9 We can see what love encompasses in studies of the fluffy little titi monkey conducted by Bill Mason and Sally Mendoza of the University of California. Females nurse their babies but don't offer any other maternal responses. They do not groom or touch their infants. The true nurturer is the male, who assumes 80 percent of the infant care. It's the male who holds and carries the baby, who is emotionally engaged and is the safe haven. Baby ti.. Sue Johnson
4ad849f how do you get those particular clusters of neurons to fire at the right time? One way is to go for a walk. The history of innovation is replete with stories of good ideas that occurred to people while they were out on a stroll. (A similar phenomenon occurs with long showers or soaks in a tub; in fact, the original "eureka" moment--Archimedes hitting upon a way of measuring the volume of irregular shapes--occurred in a bathtub.) The shower .. Steven Johnson
596f5cc So when I read that there is the fear of the Lord in the New Testament, I have to adjust my definition. What I think, live, and teach must be consistent with the Bible, so I allow what is written to prune my definition until it will stand the test of God's Word itself. Bill Johnson

11aa12a He was saying that when our minds are renewed, we will see the Kingdom displayed and proven as He did in His earthly ministry. That's what it means to "see" the Kingdom of Heaven.

d476f47 It is going back to God's perspective of reality and living as if we really believe it. His purpose--His reality--is to raise up a delegated group of people who work with Him to destroy the works of the devil, who demonstrate and prove the will of God here on earth as it is in Heaven. That is the core of the Great Commission, and it is your privilege and mine to co-labor with Him in it. Bill Johnson
f6ad80b once you start choosing how people can and cannot express themselves then this opens the door to a very dark room in the corporation from which there's really no escape. Can't they in return police your thoughts, and then your feelings and then your impulses? And, finally, can they police, ultimately, your dream? Bret Easton Ellis
8af00ba He taught us that in all situations you give honor to God. It's our highest honor to bless His great Name and take delight in Him. He showed us how. So we were with him hour after hour, worshiping, giving glory to God, praying, sharing testimonies, telling family stories, finding time to rest in shifts, and then singing once again. We did this 24 hours a day in a constant cycle. And then he died. And we wept. We did all the things grieving .. Bill Johnson
f044c19 Believing that God is good is absolutely vital to becoming effective in the ministry of the gospel. Without that foundation, it's not possible to develop the clear focus and the strength of faith to pursue the breakthroughs that the earth aches for.
