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!”

Bill and Beni Johnson are the Senior Pastors of Bethel Church. Bill is a
fifth generation pastor with a rich heritage in the things of the
Spirit. Together they serve a growing number of churches that have
partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational
lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in
both purity and power.
The present move of God has brought Bill into a deeper understanding of
the phrase, "on earth as it is in heaven." Heaven is the model for our
life and ministry. Jesus lived with this principle by only doing what He
saw His Father doing. Learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's presence,
and how to follow His lead will enable us to do the works of Christ,
destroying the works of the devil. Healing and deliverance must become
the common expression of this gospel of power once again.
Bill and the Bethel Church family have taken on this theme for life and
ministry. Healings, ranging from cancer to broken bones, to learning
disorders and emotional healing, happen with regularity. This is the
children's bread. And these works of God are not limited to revival
meetings. The church is learning how to take this anointing to the
schools, workplace, and neighborhoods with similar results. Bill teaches
that we owe the world an encounter with God, and that a Gospel without
power is not the Gospel that Jesus preached.
