The Happy Intercessor is…a Holy Spirit journey into the very heart of the Father. ---Kris Vallotton, cofounder, Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry
I have read no less than 40 books on intercession. Some challenged me to pray more, others helped me to see God s design for prayer, but few kept my rapt attention like Beni Johnson s The Happy Intercessor. This is one of the most interesting books on intercession I have ever read. Beni has the unique ability to blend the heavenly with the practical through her own life stories and biblical insight. This is a must read for every person called to intercession, especially if you are having trouble being consistent at it. ---John Paul Jackson, Founder of Streams Ministries International

At the first sight of this book one may wonder could it be true? Can intercession be happy? The scary part about that question is the fact that it seems that unimaginable! I mean, who has ever met an intercessor who was legitimately happy? Not that fake kind of happy where the person is flippant and unaware. But a happiness and joyful heart disposition that invites others into the same reality.
I first became aware of Beni Johnson through word of mouth from the well respected prayer leader Lou Engle(TheCall). When he spoke of her, it was with the highest amount of respect and admiration. He portrayed her as Happy yet fierce at the same time. It was then that I kept my eye out for her and this book she had been working on. I was able to visit Bethel Church in Redding California and experienced first hand a healthy congregation who embraced intercession, signs, wonders, miracles, and the prophetic. Now If anyone knows anything about the signs and wonders/prophetic movement then you will know that it is hard to find healthy churches that aggressively seek after these things. But I saw Happy Intercession first hand and it provoked me to buy this book.
The Happy Intercessor is more than a training manual. It is Beni's personal journey into the heart of God. These intimate stories show a mother, a wife, a friend, and a grandmother whose wholehearted and passionate about God and Family. Life for Beni is not split between family and ministry. It's all wrapped into one. When she's playing with her grandchildren God speaks to her about his heart to change society. Beni seems to be recovering an ancient truth that seems to have been forgotten or underestimated in some of the contemporary prayer manuals of our day. It's the Lost art of Joy in Prayer. Much of my exposure to prayer growing up in the church was lifeless, boring, and obligatory. It's not that anyone purposely made it like that. We just didn't know another way. And even in my adult years, many of the prayer rings/movements i've seen can tend to either focus too much on warfare and the devil or be borderline support groups for those in depression. A question i've always asked myself is "Where is the Hope???" But in this book Beni holds the two in tension. She affirms the need to weep, wail, mourn, and travail but presses us to not stay there. But to end with Joy and Praise!!
This book is riddled with many biblical stories on intercession and intriguing personal stories of prophetic journeys the Lord has taken her on. What I love most about this book, more than the truth it contains is the "matter of factness" attitude she portrays. This book shows that Beni is NOT afraid of what people will think and presents her revelation in such a way as to challenge pre-concieved notions that you thought were correct.
When reading this you realize that Beni is Bold and Audacious, yet Gentle. This Happy Intercessor is not playing around! This is a way of Life for her, her family, and Bethel Church. Not another how to manual. I believe this book can help to bring a balance and a re-definition to the prayer movement that is now arising.
I Believe Beni provides the solution to our problem. This books focus is on the Happy Heart of the Father and living out of his presence! She makes the point that it's so easy to live out of the crisis or live on the defensive from the onslaught of the enemy. So the solution she proposes is to live offensively out of His goodness and manifest presence. She quotes her husband Bill Johnson when she talks about not becoming more aware of crisis or problems than the awareness of God's presence. So simple, yet profound for many of us like myself who can consistently hit a wall in prayer. She proclaims that "It Is Finished!" Jesus Christ has won the victory and we pray from that place. Not defeat!
A Must Read if you want to shift your paradigm from watch dog/depressed intercession to Happy/Joyful prayer. This book is for real and she is no joke! And because of that....i'm making the shift! I will never pray the same.

Life changing book! If prayer is a burden to you and you wonder if God really does want you to be 'happy' and free- you need this book! With insight, wisdom, accurate theology and a tender heart, Beni Johnson is a true warrior who will lead many. She is a woman that I refer to as 'silk' over steel. The devils tremble, I am sure, because of this woman's power in God and her ability to impart joy and freedom from a page! Buy this book and buy one for a prayer warrior that you know who might be 'worn out'. Buy one for an unsaved friend who 'feels' things and 'sees' things and thinks they might be psychic or have paranormal powers- release them into their heavenly destiny!

I just get excited and joyful when i read this book. I had to purposefully put the book down so i wouldn't finish it too fast!
Beni shows us that the heartbeat of heaven is Joy, and the importance of the Secret Place. Each chapter holds so much revelation and stories/testimonies of her own experiences. It makes me want to grab a group of prayer warriors and pray over different parts of the area i live in. At the same time it shows us how important it is to pray what is on God's heart, to see what's He's doing, and pray from heaven down, and not out of a place of fear or worry. God will show you strategies to pray out of a place of victory.
Check out Beni's sermon in the media player of [...] where she tells a couple of the stories that are in the book.
I also liked learning about the different realms/levels of heaven. never had that explained to me in detail before.
alright, i don't want to spoil the whole book for you, just get if for yourself and enjoy!
