Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit Bethel Church in Redding, California. As many of you know, Bill Johnson is the senior pastor of Bethel. For approximately thirteen years this ministry has experienced a unique move of God. In fact, they live in what is called a "revival culture" at Bethel. One night during the conference, as the Spirit was moving in a very intense and exciting way, I took the opportunity to just stand back and observe.
God was surely moving and lives were being touched and transformed in a powerful way. As all the excitement was filling the room, I sensed there was something profound working behind the scenes. I asked the Lord what it was that was opening heaven over this place and causing such an outpouring of the Spirit. The response came very simply and clearly. It was, in fact summed up in a single word, and that word is "HONOR."
Bethel is building on a foundation of honor. I recall asking the Lord to teach me about this most precious principle, the principle of honor. In the weeks that have followed, the Lord has been faithful to reveal several aspects of this most important aspect of Kingdom living. In future blogs I will share much more in regard to this topic as it has the potential to change our lives like nothing else. It is all about seeking to honor God and people.
There is plenty more to come!
For His Glory,
PG
