A commentary By Mitch Jerome
To quote Bill Johnson, “Religion is form without power.” Bill’s book, When Heaven Invades Earth, makes one question the routine of America’s typical structured Sunday church service where the thought of heaven on earth is pushed into millennial mode vs being a NOW time. Bill exhorts the body of Messiah to rise up and participate NOW in the limitless possibilities of G-d’s manifestations wherever we sojourn. “The kingdom of G-d is not a matter of talk but of power.” (1 Cor. 4:20) Could we be ever encouraged by the truth that Yeshua though 100% G-d chose to live with the same limitations as a man would face once he was redeemed. Yeshua himself said the “Son can do nothing;” (John 5:19) he had no supernatural capabilities whatsoever. He performed miracles, wonders and signs, as a man in right relationship to G-d; not as G-d. Inferred is the assumption, the more we live in right relationship with G-d the more miracles, signs, wonders will manifest. Bill poses the ultimate question: “How dependent on the Holy Spirit are we willing to live?”
