Hosting the Presence: Unveiling Heaven's Agenda

by Bill Johnson, Heidi Baker (Foreword by)

Overview

 Let the Spirit live inside you!

Are you hungry for an encounter with Jesus? Do you want to make an impact on the world? In this power-packed book, Bill Johnson discusses how you can be a person who hosts the Presence of God. Though all believers obviously have the Spirit of God within them, there is more that enables you to be so full that you overflow His Spirit into your world. Take a journey and meet many great prophets and kings from the Old Testament who were known as people of the Presence—people who, in Johnson’s words, “God wanted to be with.” In this succinct and powerful book, Johnson encourages you toward a pursuit of the Presence of God above all else. In this book, you will discover:

•   How to pay attention to the Holy Spirit and respond to Him.
•   How the Holy Spirit manifests Himself.
•   Biblical figures who were hungry for more of God’s Spirit and learned to host Him.
•   Stories of Presence-filled revivalists and personal encounters with the Presence!

Bill Johnson writes: “We are enabled to partner with the Kingdom of Heaven and see it released here on earth! The Presence of God within us will bring reformation to the world around us—encountering a loving God!” Host more of Him today!

Editorial Reviews

"The testimonies and truth, in these pages of inspiration, will open the eyes of your understanding in a whole new dimension in surrendering to the Holy Spirit."
      —Dr. Ché Ahn, Senior Pastor at HROCK Church, Pasadena, CA

"This book is filled with lessons and present day history of a tender man of God named Bill Johnson."
      —James W. Goll, Encounters Network • Prayer Storm • Compassion Acts • Author of The Seer

"This is a book meant for recalibration, calling us back to our first love and warning us not to allow the lesser things rob us of the most important, our relationship with Him.   I believe it will become a classic devotional book for our day much as Andrew Murray's writings were for a bygone generation."
     —Randy Clark, Founder of Global Awakening and Author of There Is More
