Bill Johnson writes:  ‘Many visit Redding weekly, hoping that God will touch them.  I am happy to report that many leave well and whole.  But many others leave in the same condition in which they came.  I refuse to blame God for this, as though He has a purpose in their disease.  While Jesus did not heal everyone alive in His time, He did heal everyone who came to Him.  His is the only standard worth following.

This move of God has brought Bill Johnson into a deeper understanding of the phrase, ‘on earth as it is in heaven’.  Jesus lived with this principle by only doing what He saw His Father doing.  Learning to recognize the Holy Spirit’s presence and follow His lead enables us to do the works of Christ.  Healing and deliverance must become the common expression of the gospel once again, not only in church, but in schools, workplaces and neighbourhoods.  Bill Johnson shares these understandings and his journey in his many books. A good place to start is with his first book, When heaven invades earth.
