Book Reviews of When Heaven Invades Earth
Book Review: A Life Changer - This book really resonates with me
Summary: 5 Stars
Jesus invaded my heart 35 years ago and totally transformed my life. The Bible came alive and I thrilled with the Savior I was meeting. Somewhere, my relationship got tilted toward theology and I learned to temper the miraculous for the understandable. The more knowlege I gained and the "greater" my theological understanding, the less satisfying my walk with the Lord became. I didn't tank, I even went to seminary nights just so I could better teach adults from the greek text and have enjoyed a little bit of ministry success as a lay leader, even now and then seeing the Lord do a miracle or two. Then I ran into two books that shook me up and challenged me to the core. Jack Deere's "Surprised by the Power of the Spirit" kicked my theology in the pants and started me on a new search of what do I believe that is Biblical vs what do I believe because someone taught a principle and said it was Scriptural. A few years later now, six months ago, I read this little gem of a book by Bill Johnson. Relationship is the absolute essence of our walk with the Lord. God is surpassingly greater than what our minds can get hold of. The Lord's compassion, grace and love completely overwhelmingly exceed anything we can ask or imagine. Jesus, in His humanity, is the pattern of how we are to live. Christ lives through us by faith. Bill Johnson is a man on fire for the Lord. His simple but profound and powerful insight through the simplicity of scripture lead me directly to the heart of my extravagant God, Savior and Lord Who is now changing me and drawing me satisfyingly deeper in my experience of His love. His Spirit, His life through His presence is in us, enabling His children to co-labor with Christ to bring what is done in Heaven to earth, extending Christ's kingdom rule through faith and relationship in Him, and in His authority. This little book was a new introduction to my Mighty Lord Who desires me and sings over me (Zeph 3) and greatly desires to extend His kingdom through His children (including me).
I've loved the Lord and tried to faithfully serve Him these many years, but my hunger for Him and excitement in serving the Lord has exploded since taking from Bill's heart and experience, doing my Berean thing (is what he says found in plainly in Scripture). As a result of this introduction, I am finding a renewed vision and experience of faith and love, all growing strongly through my "renewed" meeting of the Lord of grace and truth. Some things are better caught than taught. Be amazed at what (Who) you'll catch through this little gem of a book.
Since, I have also been reading other books by Bill Johnson with similar impact. I've also listened to some of his recorded sermons. This is a man whose fire and passion for the Lord comes through loud, clear and encouragingly. Best of all, the miraculous wonder working Lord I fell in love with those 35 years ago is doing those same things today and He's loving me up while growing me up and expanding my ministry!
NOTE: my sister-in-law, hater of all things Christian, started having severe debilitating pain. The doctors found multiple large tumors on her liver on a Monday and scheduled biopsies for that Thursday. On Wednesday before, my wife and I prayed Psalm 103 for her ("I am the Lord Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases"). That very Wednesday she gave her heart to the Lord and the pain left. Thursday the doctors could find no evidence of any tumors, only a healthy liver. Told her they had never seen anything like this before. Praise the Lord! I know I'm certainly not hot stuff. I give credit to Bill Johnson for giving me a vision, example and renewed introduction the the Miracle Worker. He helped to lift the veil a little bit so I could meet my Lord, enter into His presence and love with a faith that is a bit different now. The Lord then ministered His love and life through my wife and I to a Sister-in_Law who used to despise us because of our faith.
NOTE: Bill writes and speaks simply, profoundly and powerfully. You'll note that I do not. Something else I'd like to glean from Bill Johnson.
NOTE: Never met the guy. Never been to his church. But my wife (as deeply impacted in much the same way as me) has, to my great delight, said that's a trip we're going to be taking shortly. Yes, dear. (Hallelujah! Holy jumping up and down Martha! Thank you, Lord!!).
