Bill Johnson calls believers to hunger for a fresh “baptism of fire” — a purifying, empowering encounter with the Holy Spirit that transforms the heart and releases God’s power. He shares his own journey of persistent prayer for greater intimacy with God, including waking himself at night to pray and a dramatic nighttime encounter in Weaverville where he felt physical sensations of electricity and surrendered his dignity completely. Johnson ties this to Psalm 51, where David prays for a clean heart and renewed spirit so he can teach transgressors God’s ways. He emphasizes that true brokenness comes from repentance without self-focused guilt, and that yielding to God removes wrong attachments, leading to miracles, healings, and cultural impact. Johnson recounts experiences from Toronto in 1995 and the transformation in the early church (Acts), urging listeners to embrace this fire for personal purity and to reach a confused world where evil is called good. The sermon ends with a call to corporate hunger, thankfulness, and discipleship for revival.
