When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars A prize and a joy!, July 8, 2004

By

This review is from: When Heaven Invades Earth (Paperback)

This book is one of a kind. Pastor Johnson is humble when he preaches and powerful when he writes. I actually started slowing down while reading because I didn't want the book to end. I wished I had been taking notes the whole time so I could tape all the POWERFUL statements up all over my house. The book is full of miracle encounters with their church in California and powerful scriptural truths. It reintroduced me to my Father's true nature. I was blessed to see Pastor Johnson preach and more blessed when he prayed for me. I got to see the principles he writes about manifested in the total healing of nerve damage in my arm and in the complete disappearance of a kidney mass. (All medically documented.) Our God is awesome! You'll love every page of this book....It's balanced and full of truth. But you may want to order two or three!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Won't Be Able to Put it Down!!, February 2, 2004

This review is from: When Heaven Invades Earth (Paperback)

I read a lot, and I read a lot of Christian books. I have never read a book like this one. It is well organized and easy to read, and for those who are scholarly, its conclusions are well documented and supported with Scripture. I read it with longing, and I read it with hope. If you are tired of living your Christian life as a practical agnostic, Bill Johnson shows the way for you to live in a different way. The only reason we believers are left here on this earth is to express the love, compassion, and good news of the Gospel with the people we interact with on a daily basis. Just as Jesus healed the sick, cast out demons, and did other things supernaturally, so too can we. "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." John 14:12.

When I read this book the first time back in October 2006 in its first release, it was just by chance. I was looking for a book that had a refreshing new perspective for Kingdom presence...and I found it almost by accident...I liked the title.
I had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and very serious (85% blockage) heart/artery disease...all in one week! I thought I was outa here!
I had been a Christian for 20 years, and I was just about to turn 60...This book opened my eyes to Kingdom presence, Jesus presence (called breakthrough) right here, right now. I believed that Jesus would heal me completely, and He did. He also said time was short, and that I needed to write the book about my life, which I also have done, Desperate Highway was released in April 2009, right here on Amazon.
This book, by Bill Johnson was where it all started...Where my breakthrough experience began, and continues every day. Now I listen to the Bethel Church Pod casts weekly and enjoy seeing and hearing Bill teach whenever I can.
Bill is an amazing teacher. He says he doesn't study the Bible to teach, but that he studys to learn...and wow what a great message he brings about the Jesus that we can all have a personal relationship with 24x7x365, right here, right now.
Many of the really good speakers/teachers around right now are getting fed weekly by Bill and his team at Bethel...I here so many others mimicing his teaching and he is blessed and happy about it.
If you want to buy one book, that will change your life...buy the Bible, The Word of God. Once you have it, my favorite is Eugene Peterson's The Message, Remix v.2, then get When Heaven Invades Earth, and open your heart and your life up to hosting the Presence of God...it is absolutely amazing how you will change...everyone I know is witness.
Medicine could not heal me, Jesus did...and Bill Johnson and his team were right there giving God all the Glory, not just for me but for so many that have had the same experience.
Praise God for the gift of Bill Johnson's life, and the gift your life will become.
