ENDORSEMENTS
On five continents, in many countries, I have stood with Bill Johnson and worshipped our triune God, preached the Gospel, seen God heal the sick and deliver the demonizedall in our mutual pursuit of revival. I know of no one living who is more passionate about revival. Bill Johnson, as he says, has no plan B, only plan Arevival. He is a man who has read about the great historical revivals, studied the leaders of such revivals, and laid down his own life to continue the heritage of revival for our day and generation. For the last twenty-five years he has walked in the fire of revival. He also is a primary cheerleader of the next generation of revival leaders. There is much to gain from Open Heavens: Position Yourself to Encounter the God of Revival. Buy it and read it. Feed your hunger for revival and build your faith for God to use you in revival.
Blessings in and through Him,

Bill Johnson has been a dear friend of mine for many years, and yet I am continually amazed at the grace of God on his life. Many people have written about revivalbut Bill lives it. As a seasoned apostle, teacher, and author, Bill truly carries the spirit of revival in everything he undertakes.
His newest book, Open Heavens, comes at a timely intersection in history. Revival is on Gods agenda, and the stage is now being set for a move of God unlike anything the world has ever seen. With invaluable insights into Scripture and personal God stories, Bill Johnson offers a unique glimpse into the heart of God, who passionately desires for revival even more than we do. If you want to experience moreand encounter the God of revivalyou wont want to put this book down. The fires of revival are already burning, just waiting for you to run with them!

I believe that we are not waiting for God, but God is waiting for us! Bill Johnson has walked the walk and is now called by God to make you normal. Thats NORMAL according to the Bible.

If you are like me, when someone mentions the word revival many thoughts race through my mind. Years ago, I began my journey studying revivals in the past, the present, and what we can learn from them for the future. What Ive learned over the years is that many Christians say they want revival but very few realize what that really means. And that was precisely the reason we began Revival Radio TV.
When I saw Bill Johnson was writing on this topic, I was intrigued by the title Open HeavensPosition Yourself to Encounter the God of Revival and I was eager to experience the revelation Bill received from the Father. I was not disappointed. There is so much here to glean. I pray you highlight the lines that God quickens to your spirit and review them often. This is indeed a book you will keep close by in your library!
One specific insight jumped off the page to me. Without a doubt, it is not the only revelation that you will glean from this rich title. Its a nugget hidden deep within the pages about small beginnings. While most believers (me included) are looking for the next Pensacola Outpouring, Azusa Street, or Welsh Revival, it is the small kindling that lights what is to become the roaring fire of revival, not the giant oak timbers. Revival starts small and when we as believers stop long enough to see it, we will see God pouring Himself out to those who are willing and desire Him more than ever, no matter what that looks like.
Most will not argue these are the last of the last days. Seeking Him is not only important for spiritual guidance, but it is essential if were going to shine our light brightly in these times. Living under an open Heaven and encountering the God of revival is the best way to not only see the Father, but to let Him use you in a mighty way, right now. Enjoy the journey in this book as Bill Johnson lights the path.

Bill Johnson is a dear friend of mine. He is a man of deep humility and hunger for God. His love and kindness have marked my life personally. His love for Beni, his children, his entire family, his church and friends are a wonderful example to me. Bills insatiable desire for more of Gods presence is contagious. Weve spent hours talking about Jesus together and His marvelous works. There are few voices on earth more suited to speak about revival. May Jesus Kingdom flood the nations.

Over the years we have seen what the Lord has accomplished in Bethels passionate pastor with a great heart, truth-seeking mind, and intense passion for Christ and our lost culture. Going to speak there for one single session with such a massive collection of Heaven-hungry young people in one of their classes is like attending an explosively fiery, fun-filled football game jammed with God lovers and Jesus seekers drawn together in a common call to see truth touch our time again and righteousness return as reality. Open Heavens is not just a nice collection of significant truths about revival. It is also the stunning true stories and recurring risky records of one mans adventures with our astonishing Lord. This is the true essence of what revival is: His never-ending call for the courage to join Him in that ultimate mission in which He dares us to die to ourselves to help in each Millennia to save the world.

Open Heavens is a presence book. I say that because one cannot read it without feeling touched by the presence of God. It will open your eyes to being able to walk and live in revival and transform your life and the culture around you.

Bill Johnson has authored many important books giving us revelation concerning our relationship with the God of revival. But this book will move you to a deeper understanding of revival, reformation, and renaissance. Revival is not an end in itself but it opens up the greater dimensions of Holy Spirit and the effect it has upon not only the Ekklesia, but upon our culture and society. This book is a must read for those who are hungering for revival and more of Holy Spirit. Get ready for a greater conviction and revelation as you process this excellent book.

In over two decades of friendship with Bill Johnson, one thing that impresses me is his continual hunger to learn more about the Kingdom of Heaven. Though we each see and know in part, to seek the Lord daily for more wisdom is not optional for usbecause we too live to call those around us to the life of Heaven, even and especially from some of the darkest places on earth. May this book inspire you to the same longing, the same great adventure, and the same joy in humble service.

To live under an open Heaven has a twofold benefit: well live with unhindered access to God, and God will have unhindered access to earth. My friend, Bill Johnson, reveals how through bold faith and a life of unswerving obedience, well always bridge the gap between Heaven and earth.
