Episode notes
Authority vs Power: Two Distinct Sources
- Authority flows from saying yes to Jesus' commission, while power arises from encounter with the Holy Spirit.
- Bill Johnson connects the baptism of the Spirit to both empowerment and the disciples' mission.
Steward The Outpouring For Growth
- Do steward and pass the baptism and outpouring to the next generation so momentum increases, not declines.
- Actively cultivate spiritual responsibility so greater works multiply across generations.
The Great Commission Was Practical
- The Great Commission includes concrete practices Jesus taught like heal the sick, cleanse lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons.
- Johnson argues those practices were intended as the New Testament normal for every believer, not just clergy.
