"Mediocre Public Speaker for Hire!" Bill Johnson at James River Church 

It’s like he’s talking to his psychiatrist because it’s all about him - his needs, his blessings, his promises.

I love it when he expects a response from the audience and they are quiet. Because nobody understands anything he is saying.

He talks and talks, yet says nothing.

Johnson does nothing but blather.

Good on you Steve for doing this. It is such a shame that so many people follow these charlatans. Sometimes I feel so confused when I listen to Bill Johnson. He seems to try and say something so profound yet it is just what is commonly known today as a 'word salad'.

I am listening at work on earbuds. Bill's elaborate pauses, breathing, and mouth noises make me want to peel my skin off.

Empty words, Johnson.. The words that fill us are the Words of Jesus.. Not the speculations of men.

Was in a church years ago where the pastor spoke like this. An abundance of words with absolutely no meaning. Incoherent ramblings, word salad, clouds without rain.

This is painful to listen to. Several years ago, my husband and I used to listen to him on YT frequently -- I'm embarrassed to say -- but now I can't abide it. Just so much hooey.

When I was in this cult/ movement I would leave very confused literally I would say an octopus on rollerblades each sermon. Then I started to study the word of God for my self and realized they were preaching a different gospel. Thank you God for your love and grace.

When I was deep into this nonsense I would have lapped this up. Now that I’m in a sound biblical church Bill. J sounds clinically insane! So grateful God opened my eyes and ears! Thanks for the work you do!

It’s like one applause line after another I love when they don’t land and it’s just silent where he expects applause 😂

Legacy, legacy, legacy. That young man acted demonic to me.

Who can understand anything he is saying. He goes from one incoherent thing to another. It is so painful to listen to .

I wish someone could find that poor guy from the Heidi Baker video & interview him.

Says it all when he’s walking to and fro talking then gets to the Bible and it’s shut 🤦🏻‍♀️

I made my own “Bill Johnsonisms.” 1. "When you align your strength with god's heart, inner peace flows effortlessly." 2. "By clutching his throne, you unlock the wisdom to evolve." 3. "As you declare your opposers, the spirit illuminates your path." 4. "When rest in the divine journey, your spirit ascends to heavenly realms." 5. "By perceiving setbacks as divine setups, you command miraculous comebacks." 6. "When you trust god's secrets, you transcend every obstacle." 7. "By surrendering to the sacred flow of god's voice, you uncover profound tranquility." 8. "When you cultivate mindfulness in god's presence, you manifest future blessings." 9. "By honoring your true essence in Christ, you harmonize with god's prophetic plan." 10. "When your life radiates encounters, you channel the unseen world."

When Bill says that back in the day they had occultist visit their meetings, he's actually talking about Randy Clark 😅 "it was fascinating"

Ah, yes. The sleepy Joe of the NAR. 😂 I feel like if youre having trouble falling asleep, all you gotta do is put Bill Johnson on in the background and you're good.

Excellent work, Mr Kozar. If only Bill Johnson could just stand still and preach from the word of God. That endless walking about, pontificating about his own ideas gets very tedious. I've been a Christian for 36 years, and I was in the charismatic movement, but I left an NAR church a year ago. It wasn't NAR when I started there 19 years earlier, but slowly, by stealth, it came in and absorbed everything. The last sermon I sat under before I left made it clear that if you disagreed with the teaching, you knew where the door was. Indeed, I did, and I used it. The NAR critics are absolutely on point in their criticism. I experienced mysticism, numerology, and repurposed occultic practice, all in the name of Christianity. The NAR roots go very deep, way back in fact, to mostly, non Christian ideas and theories. They will adopt anything remotely spiritual and attempt to use it for themselves. I would love to have a debate with someone like Daniel Kolenda, who defends their theological stance as I personally have been there and experienced it for myself, and there is no defence. Again, great work.

I have been given by the Almighty gifts of discernment that have saved me from deception from these characters, TWO EARS!

This was sooooo hard to watch 🙄. All these stories and no expounding on the Word. I have so many friends who follow him it’s just sad. Thank God for your channel I have learned so much and I am grateful for you and Paulette brother

Another excellent exposé video, Steve. Well researched. Very informative. I always love the humorous editing. Keep up the great work!

Honestly, he is so annoying. And I hate those long pauses when he stands there smirking, waiting for applause

Thank you. I have no idea how people can waste their time listening to him say nothing.

I'm glad you record these false teachers and expose them before these cults pull there videos down.

Even unsalted pasta is more stimulating than this "sermon"

His pauses waiting for applause are so incredibly evident, and not a little annoying!!

Hi Steve, I have been watching your channel, Fighting for the faith, and Justin Peters since Autumn last year. I started believing all of the Charismatic stuff that was on social media and it almost ruined my faith, but praise God he opened my eyes to see the deception and led me to biblical sound channels like yours! Now I am looking for a confessional Lutheran church near me. God bless you and Paulette! ❤

Bill Johnson speak is nothing but word salad; and the people are programmed to applaud this…🙃🙄

Oh! This is at that "church" that just hosted that men's conference where Mark Driscol called out the host as having a "Jezabel Spirit."

There are zero ways to impress God.

Steve I ❤your sense of humor! Mediocre Indeed!,, ugh Bill Johnson is so dull

I have an intestinal issue 😕 listening to this "sermon"

Does anyone know the after story of the guy Heidi Baker touched? I hope he's ok 😢

This is painful…

Gosh his life and what happens to him is so important. Its all about what God can do for him. Paul desired to know nothing but Christ and him crucified. Bill Johnson is so enthralled with himself thats all he can talk about. This is what the "prophetic movement" promotes. 😢

Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

Thanks for this very informative video, and the comments. Love the clipps of his repetitions of things he´s said in the past.

He acts like he’s on some sort of drug and didn’t prepare at all. How he can even talk about the importance of scripture when he’s been preaching and writing vain imaginations for years. I’ll bet Bill knows how bad the sermon was and asked the church to remove it.

Vipers and wolves are everywhere.

I'm amazed at how much Jim Jones (light stuff) is going on in churches instead of walking out people will do anything no matter how silly and unbiblical it is if they are told to do it they will do it.

I don't know how Heidi Baker can touch scripture and not burst into flames.

When bill speaks, I always shake my head and say what? Uh...😂

So the ‘words’ that some rando MAY pray over me is more important for me than the given WORD of God ? That’s a nah from me dawg 😐

I feel sick that I wondered into this malarkey for a season. 🤦‍♀️

I honestly didn't understand anything he said. Nothing made any kind of sense at all. He's not smart and he wants so badly to look like some Great philosopher.

Thank you for posting this. Jesus: "for by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned". MT 12:37 This scripture alone will judge the false teachers. aka Bill Johnson 🙏🙏🙏

I am in the process of leaving an Assembly of God church. It’s the tongues and the repetition in songs and chants that kills me.

That kid is tortured!

Bill - you ALWAYS "fall subject to your imagination." Those interpretations must be from your imagination. They certainly don't line up with scripture!

The crickets are a nice touch. 😂

Every morning, about half passed six, I have the holy moment on my throne...Bill.Thanks for the Mumbo de la Jumbo TMUC

He didn’t say there’s a lot of cultic stuff going on did he?? No self awareness.

Thanks for exposing these false teachers

He is so subtle in his erroneous approach to the Bible and God's nature that if you don't know your Bible you are screwed. What is interesting is that he talks about demonic stuff and yet what he is into is very questionable and even thought of as being demonic.

Check the Passion translation for the throne reference. He didn’t get it exactly but it is in there. Oh yeah, Passion is not a translation. It is, at best, a very loose paraphrase that also adds a whole extra chapter to the book of John.

Nothing like bragging about your own spiritual attainments!

Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was Buried and he rose Again the third day praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all..

Steve, your effort here really stands out. This may be one of the best videos you've made. Thank you.

I find it ironic that Bill talks about the cultic and demonic activity yet doesn't Hogwarts (Redding Campus) have students that practice Christian tarot and new age thought?

Think about how empty a person has to be to be able to make up stuff like this. And the terror that must come on him in those infrequent moments when he is reconnected to his conscience. It must be terrifying and terrible.

Thanks Steve for watching and listening to this awful false teacher! I cannot stomach it! I appreciate your ministry! 😎❤️

Well, there ain't no beneficial calories in that enormous word salad

You know as I'm watching him walk back and forth, I'm paying attention to his physical appearance. His haircut alone probably cost him at least, in California probably $200. He probably has it treated or some sort of hair treatment. His shoes look like they probably cost him upwards of $500 or more. His shirt and jacket and jeans probably, at least I would say again probably around $500 to $800. Probably upwards of $900 because his clothes are very tailored to him. He probably has them custom tailored. Probably cost him a lot because it's it's also California..so. Now imagine all his clothes are like that....😑 This is a dude who likes to get looked at. His hair is like brushed just so. And I understand when someone stands in front of an audience they want to look their best, but this is not that. It's just not I really don't..feel that. This is a dude who lays in a tanning bed probably 3 to 4 times a week. At least lol and gets manicures and stuff. It's just not giving good feelings to me whatsoever. And here's the thing I don't think that people who spiritually lead people should look junky..but, you can look excellent without looking like, well, you are abusing People's financial support all on yourself and your colleagues. There I said it.

Wow, he has a gnostic view of the Bible and spirituality!

Some years ago I attended a 2-day "conference" at Global Awakening in Lancaster, PA. Among the parade of speakers were Randy Clark, Patricia King, Heidi Baker, Larry Randolph, and a few others I can't recall. One by one they took the stage, and each began their remarks by heaping praise on Randy Clark and Global Awakening. Then, they held up their latest book, CD/DVD, "training package", whatever they were selling and talked about it for a while, ending with something along the lines of, "These are available at the ministry table out in the lobby, and the first X number of people who buy it will get, as a free gift, _________!" After this they would begin their unscripted presentation, typically ramblig and incoherent, but "spirit led," so that made it not only OK, but even better. Form over substance, that is - if you spend your time on stage getting farther and farther "drunk in the spirit," the crowd loves it, and whether or not you're saying anything of substance is inconsequential. At some point someone starts playing the keyboard in the background, and the altar call portion begins - who wants to be filled with the holy spirit? Who is being drawn by God to come forward to have this celebrity's hands placed on them and get a special impartation (complete with manifestation - falling down, laughing uncontrollably, or even convulsing)? OK folks, now I've done my part, now we pass around the donation cards and collection buckets, and you do yours! I left completely disgusted.

I honestly cannot stand Bill Johnson’s teachings.

My church is not a charismatic one. However, during Bible study, there are a few members who are clearly operating under a charismatic mindset. The pastor tends to roll his eyes (as discreetly as possible). I unintentionally upset them by actually quoting the Bible in context. I'm not one to standing down. But, we end up agreeing to disagree. I realize that, being human, we are all wrong in some aspect of our understanding. I am a late in life convert of 8 years now, and there have been many people that I've met who have been raised in the church but don't know the Word. I find it baffling. I have had other members thank me for being vocal at the studies and presenting viewpoints that they hadn't considered. I don't know if they were overwhelmed by the charismatic leaning ones before I got there, or not.

This church is bad.

He'd need to have some lessons or classes before aspiring to mediocrity.

Pretty much all he does is talk about himself !!! I really can’t stand the sound of his voice !! The true Word is never preached ! I appreciate your channel !!! ❤

8:37 "Floppin n droppin"? I cannot stand Kris Valloton.

Waste of time to listen to Bill Johnson and anything he has to say, except the word "Amen the meeting is over."

You are a hero for just watching the whole thing. How do you do that?

Now I see the strategy he needs his little boy ego stroked so he repeats something till he gets applause

I can’t tell what’s worse, the doctrine or the heavy breathing into the mic

Honestly with Bill, salvation is a riddle wrapped in a puzzle with both surrounded in enigma! Wow! Wow? Really? Bill says nothing!

He's way, way too comfy standing silently expecting applause. Wouldn't you just die of embarrassment if you had to do that even for one second? But it's his favourite thing.

Let us pray for him. 🤝

Bill says he's a devoted consumer of proper products...yet he refuses to pick up a Bible and be a devoted consumer of God's word.

Steve, thank you for your service.

Does he ever use a Bible verse properly? I’ve yet to see that from him. Of course he’s a false teacher, so I never expect it. Thank you, Steve. Looking forward to another “Hit the Bar” from you and Paulette.

Shout Out from your OHIO campus. This will be GOOOOOOD. Is Bill ever going to preach the gospel? Just a rambling word salad.

In psychiatry, we call this “word salad”.

Brother, you're getting really good at exposing these fools. Yes, I'm calling them fools, anyone that twists Gods word is a fool.

“Father by nature and fathers look for opportunities to reward”?!?! What a dumb thing to say. My dad wasnt a horrible father but he certainly did not look for opportunities to reward me as a kid no matter how hard I tried and again he wasn’t a bad dad either.

Gave me heart palpitations. In a bad way.

His view of revelation is the same as that of Rome. It starts with the Bible, but continues with human words.

😼 "HEY!!" HEY CAT always brings me back after watching the freakshows!

Bill has fooled himself thinking he is so profound in his twisted Theology which is of Satan. Oh His buddy Kris is a Self Proclaimed Prophet and that makes it ok for him to add to the Canon. Bill believes he is Apostle and suggests that he works Signs and Wonders but has never performed one Sign and Wonder.

So did they ever find any of those angel feathers or send any of that gold dust off to a lab to see what it is? I’ll probably be waiting on that for a while…

Phenomenal video! Oh that people would stop and evaluate and test the things these celebs are saying! 🙏

He's soooo profound.... IN HIS OWN HEAD. He waits for the audience to react with his embarrassing pauses..😊 10:04 this is the most evil thing I've ever seen her do. The blonde guy can't be serious! Fake. Lies. Blasphemy. The house of SATAN. 😮

I can’t even listen to this guy talk he mumble’s lazy talk. Wow if u can’t figure out this guy is a con artist you are in deep do do may god help you open your eyes to these fade preachers

The man lives for the accolades of the crowd. And he intentionally maligns the written Word of God in such a sneaky way. He is wicked.

Thank you having the forethought to archive things like this

Sphinx from Mystery Men couldn't have said it better, "your shadow will always release whatever overshadows you", until you master your fear, fear will be your master, etc.

Mr. Kozar listening to B. Johnson is torture! He doesn't make any sense.

'he's a public speaker that gets paid for rehashing his little sayings' waiting for that climatic 'moment' where he gets applause for his little joke.
