Why You Need to Let Go of Regret, Bitterness, and Jealousy - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Bill Johnson talks about the importance of letting go of regret, bitterness, and jealousy. Christ died for our freedom, but holding onto regret, bitterness, and jealousy keeps us married to the past. How do you celebrate another person’s breakthrough when it is the very thing you’ve been contending for yourself? Bitterness and jealousy can seem reasonable, but we are called to reason from a Heavenly perspective. The enemy fears our freedom, because he knows the power of the sons and daughters of God walking in freedom and unity as the body of Christ. We can only experience true freedom when we let go of our past.

This is one of the most powerful messages I’ve ever heard preached . It was done in such love like only a spiritual father can do . We as Gods children must consider this daily if not hourly. I love it . Thank you Bill !
I agree. 100%
Actually I can't think of a better message that exemplifies the true gift of Jesus' 1st coming. The best Christmas message I could have heard now. Bless you and Merry Christmas!!
Bill Johnson is a wonderful father in the faith to so many, including myself. He imparts both the lavish love our Father has for us and the severe discipline He calls us to as His dearly loved children. I thank God for Bill Johnson!
PS I also find his humor to be a celebration of the medicine of joy our Lord prescribes! Thank you ❤
Yes. This message, (he has praeched it before), has changed (saved) the direction of my life. My family, marriage, my church.
Heard it for the 1st time yesterday and today woke up needing to hear it again...cause so many suffer cause of 'holding' on...I need to preach it to my peers cause it's ruining so many lives..I love it and its so concise...thank you pastor..🇿🇦
Tears. This cut deeply to my heart. Five years ago, we lost our fourth child. He was four days shy of his 12th birthday. I’ve had so many regrets about him, about my children that are here, about not being available in my grief. About not doing things exactly right to make it better. And I’m challenged during the holidays to fix my eyes on the joy of my Jesus. This message felt like freedom. Thank you.
Wow, God bless you.
Blessings to you and your family. (((Hug)))
aw bless you.
Pastor Johnson I have learned so many important truths from this message. 1.Don't accuse another servant to God. 2. Be honest with yourself and God. 3. Resist bombarding thoughts of resentment 4. Put into action your decision to forgive by doing something tangible. 5. Undstand you can't know the motive of another person's heart because your perspective can be contained by your own pain,emotions and the enemy.
Thank you again Pastor for helping us with this valuable insights. God bless you always ❤.

This was for me! Thank you.
Amen, thank you God for this
Amen
The enemy fears our freedom😮
This is one of the best messages I ever heard. Oh my goodness thank you Jesus for people like Bill Johnson that have a true heart to worship you and speak your truth and thank you Bill Johnson continue to speak and live for Jesus.
After hearing the sermon, I realize the importance of forgiveness for both mental and physical well-being. I've chosen not to dwell on my past, and I believe His grace empowers me to live freely. 🙌🙌❤️
I was once feel apologetic for the blessings. Until the Lord told me don’t feel sorry for my blessings.
I include myself in the prayer Bill prayed over their church family and desire to receive every freedom and gift of true liberty fully demonstrated…in Jesus’ name!!!
I love this man..he preaches straight up truth without being harsh, I listen daily❤
Only when you wash a man’s feet do you realise why he walks the way he does… so blessed by this message.. learning compassion, learning perspective from above.. may God continue to uphold you pastor in His righteous right hand.
This is an excellent and convicting message. I wish certain people would listen to it!
Fake it til u make it-and ain't apologizing for nothin'!! THANK YOU PASTOR BILL!!!🥳💥👍🏼♥️
This is a very solid message, but at the same time you need to be careful to distinguish between Godly discernment and demonic discernment. Demonic discernment will create harsh judgement, bitterness, anger, wrath, etc. Godly discernment will lead to clarity, revelation, avoiding calamities, etc. Discernment is a GIFT; just make sure you don’t have the counterfeit. 🙏❤️✝️
So important to forgive and set boundaries!!!! A parent or spouse can mistreat you over and over again! Forgive them, grieve and set boundaries
This message shined light on something I thought I knew and understood, and gave me a greater understanding of managing negative emotions.
Judging others motives being forbidden territory is a revelation that will stop many battles I fight in my soul. Taking the perspective of the cross to situations….. will change my life.
Hallelujah!!💕
Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough while God is at work and I long to see what He is doing behind the scenes
Heart changing. ❤🙏🏽😭
Man this is cutting really deep🥴💥💥💥💥💥🙆🏻♂️
Excellent message of Truth!
We give mental space to the thoughts we embrace. Great message Bill 😁👍
I feel hearing this is exactly what I needed. I deserve nothing, because I fail to appreciate things. Some times hard truths is exactly what I need in my life. Thank you
wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you sir
Powerful
I love it
Glory on this 🕊⚡️🔥🌊❤️❤️❤️
Ouch! So so so good.
Thats easy for you to say that have learned how to follow the Holy Spirit and se results ! Come to Sweden many have tried and just as many have failed ! Many have been touched bye the holy Spirit but not in a overflowing way so they get out !
How can I guard my heart when someone gets instantly what I've prayed years for? WOW! That's a loaded question.
Hallelujah thank you lord for this strong word. God bless! 🙏🏼♥️
As the saying goes, God doesn't pay by the length of the stay, but in the end He pays!
This seems wise but I don't think I understand it fully. 😔
@@iubitnunesIt shows that God doesn't reward you based on the number of years you serve Him. You will receive a reward but not on how many hours you labored in the service of the Lord, as we read about the workers who worked 11 hours and compared their reward to that of the those who had only worked one hour.
The owner did it on purpose to expose how we, sometimes reason and compare ourselves to others as well as how we see God. Do we see Him as a loving Father or as a taskmaster!
You can also think of the brother of the prodigal son who was angry with his father for restoring his brother and told him, "All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders, yet you never gave me a young goat so I can celebrate with my friends" Luke 15:29
It comes down to how we son God.
A secretary where I worked was a Christian who had been praying her husband would be saved for years. He did get saved, and not only that, he matured very quickly and had gifts that surprised everyone, especially her.
She told me, she got so mad and jealous 😂
I receive that prayer in the video for myself in Jesus name Amen.
So good
Yes, yes and yes...amazing how control and manipulation has been utilized in religion to prevent people from truly finding freedom in Christ. Thank you for your honest teaching on this. It wasn't until I came out of the new age that I could see how these things were ABSOLUTELY the seed bed for my journey into that world. Thank God that JESUS has overcome it ALL!
Bitterness comes from something that a lie that a person is believing in their heart. It could be a belief about a job loss one felt deserved. It could be jealousy. The key to resolving bitterness is to identify the lie you are believing and hold it up to Jesus to have Him replace with His truth. Once truth is received then peace immediately follows.
Thank you 😊
I haven’t even heard all of this sermon, but already it’s amazing. Thank you!!
WOW
I'm repenting at every one of the revelations that has been given to me. Thank you for this Word, Pastor ❤❤
So powerful!! Thank you Jesus!
stop that blasphemy he is a man of God! @@cr5195
Oh wow 🤩 this is so good ! Thank you Lord for this revelation
I am so convicted right now!! God bless you, Bill Johnson. 😢❤
this is so powerful went through this 20 years came out of this thank you for this answer see things through the lens of the cross
Great message !!
Thank you
Excellent point! Never try to assume you know the motivate of another person's heart. Wow! I haven't heard that we don't have a right to do that.
Thank God!
I needed this message!! 😩
This is what i have been dealing with . I go to church where my ex and his soon to be wife are. The church people who once liked me turned cold, and the new wife is the IT girl. I am really fighting in my mind, trust me!!
My dad is the pastor of my church and seems to like them more than me. GOD help me forgive ❤
Lisabug. Why are you still there? Why do you keep opening yourself to hurts and pains over and over? Don't try to proof to anyone that you're strong. No, you're hurting. Love yourself enough to admit you can't and won't accept this situation as okay. Remove yourself from it. Yes, seek God but distance yourself from this.
@okaywhynot I want to, but I am the worship leader, and I don't want to hurt my dad if I leave. I also don't want to give the new girl the satisfaction to see me go because I know she wants me to.
@@lisabug75 I get it. Quiet a predicament. True as well. She does want you to leave, that's for sure. I pray God to enable you to serve Him wholeheartedly so you'll enjoy being there, regardless. Nothing is impossible for Him. Wait prayerfully and see what He'll do for you and/or all the parties concerned. I've no words. It's as though it's happening to me.
@@okaywhynot I am really praying as I am taking the high road that GOD raises me above my enemies 🙏 🙌
@@lisabug75 I'm praying with you.
Amen and Amen , wow Thank you For this living Word 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amen, amen!
This is so good, and I needed it. Thank you.
This! Truth to my soul!
Merry Christmas ❤ good word, full of truth.
Cut through my heart. Love you Father Bill
❤❤❤
"AMEN"😊
This message really set me free thank you!!
Oh my, I needed that. How amazing, breakthrough message, thank you
🔥Such a great message! 🔥 Truly a heart-check opportunity…Is bitterness/jealousy/resentment hiding in my heart 🤔 if I have forgiven someone, am I showing it with actions? John 13:34 Jesus says to love others as He has loved us…To love God is demonstrated by loving others❤ I’m encouraged to make sure I don’t show love by just being nice and keeping my distance…no, I will pray God’s rich blessings upon them, that they come into all God has called them to do and be…and yes, I will add them to my gift list this Christmas ☺️❣️☺️ Thank you again for instructing us on how to be more like Christ 🥰
AMEN ❤🙏
You just helped me to re invest my life into a new couples life…. Thank you…
❤
AMEN 🎚🙏🔥💒
Wow
Great message, I struggled with this when I came into church as I was living in sin in a toxic relationship. I spent 2023 clearing my life of all the spirits that continued to come from sin. I walked threw hell and back but I'm free pf generational witchcraft now. Praise God my goal.now to.set others free as a vessel for Papa God. 🎉
😢
♥️🙏🇿🇦
How do I let go of bad emotions when they stick to you like glue???
Bless you friend. Keep bringing your negativity to Jesus, Holy Spirit will administer Heaven’s powerful Solvent to melt the glue you speak of;
the Blood of Christ,
the Grace, Mercy and Power of God.
Invite the Lord INTO your private thoughts and emotions. Share your truest feelings with him.
Ask for deliverance in the areas you’re believing a lie, healing where you need it, and forgiveness.
Ask to have the heart of the Lord towards those who hurt you,
Release the offenders into Gods care and blessings. Bless them in some actionable way, Seek Him for wisdom how to proceed.
Repeat as needed.
Keep asking for help from the Lord, the same thing here when the thoughts comes I ask for help.
We must be careful about self-pity .
About selfishness : the poor me síndrome .
About narcissism : all about me .
Ha be you been offended ?
You also offend others .
Have you been hurt?
You also hurt others .
Somebody made you bitter ?
You made somebody bitter too .
Solution ?
Forgive and you will be forgiven ,
Do not do others what you do not like to be done to you .
At the end, it is not about us , it is about Jesus .
Too many do not do nothing for God , do not preach the gospel etc , because they are trapped by the poor me síndrome .
Get over it , and start to do something for God and for people .
The Bible says , there is more joy in giving then to receive .
Why there are soooo many sad ? Becouse of their selfishness.
Start to bless and give , and you will be happy .
Get out of victimism and narcisism . Be happy .
Need to hear opinions from other Believers on this real-life question: what if a husband emotionally and mentally abused his wife? Should the wife "forgive" and go back to him? There is a 4 year old boy involved in this, as well, and the wife took him and left the husband. This was for safety reasons - she feared for her and her son's safety! Forgiving the husband and renouncing bitterness and leaving the past behind -- how does that apply in this situation?
I gave a very simplified summary of this situation, but it is factual and not exaggerated. Another important detail: the husband deals with mental health issues and keeps going off his meds, which causes these relapses, outbursts, trauma and then trips to a mental hospital or VA hospital. He keeps saying it won't happen again or he won't do ____ anymore, but then he does. He finally sought some help from his pastor, but it remains to be seen if it is real, genuine heart change or not.
As I said, this is just the surface level info, but I'd love Biblical feedback. Thank you.
I understand you very well. For safety reasons they have to be apart forgiveness is needed to keep your Heart and protect it for bitterness.
They both need professional help.
Forgiveness does NOT mean to bring your self in danger. Protecting your self and not being bitter go very well together 🙏
Run from demonic violent family members just like Jacob ran from his father in law. Forgiveness is not reconciliation you can forgive and get safe at the same time
I can understand this situation... forgive... by all means the choice to "stay safe" is the best choice for that wife & child!!!
I like these first comments!!!
Like: "Forgiveness"= does not... does not mean to put yourself back into danger!
😂😂
The title of this clip sounds too commercial. It doesn’t properly represent this ministry nor The Kingdom. It’s like a “dime a dozen” Christian ads, very elementary and worldly. I consider it sabotage.
