In this sermon, Bill Johnson discusses how the enemy tries to make problems seem bigger than the solutions God has given us, using the analogy of a football receiver distracted by the footsteps of an approaching opponent. Johnson emphasizes that the enemy can only roar but cannot truly harm us. He encourages believers to anchor their hearts in God's promises during crises and highlights the power of thanksgiving.
Johnson references 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, which calls for rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in all circumstances. He explains that thankfulness keeps believers humble and aware of God's presence and promises. Johnson further explores the protocol of entering God's presence through thanksgiving, praise, and worship, each responding to different aspects of God's work, nature, and presence.
He shares a personal story about the death of his father and how he led his family to give thanks to God despite their grief. Johnson teaches that true worship involves offering oneself to God, especially in times of disappointment and loss. He emphasizes that maintaining a thankful heart, even amid mystery and unresolved questions, keeps believers connected to God's goodness and prevents the enemy from stealing their joy.
