In this week’s Movie Workshop with David Hoffmesieter, we explore how to trust that everything will get handled through inspiration. Never again do we need to “do” from a place of fear or false responsibility. But can you guess what movie we are watching this week?
David Hoffmeister began his journey to spiritual Enlightenment in 1986 when he encountered A Course in Miracles and recognized it as the tool he had been seeking for a radical transformation of his mind and perceptions. Highly inspired by Christian mysticism, Advaita Vedanta, and the desire of many to live a life of devotion, communities have sprung up around the world that follow Hoffmeister’s very practical Awakening Mind teachings. His teachings are for everyone, and he spans all traditions by utilizing common ground like movies as modern-day parables and the shift in scientific theory from the Newtonian to quantum world view.

It takes courage to dream, and there are certain aspects of God’s nature that can only be revealed as His sons and daughters pursue dreams and see prayers and desires fulfilled. In this full sermon, Bill Johnson talks about the risk of pursuing dreams that are not of God, but the greater cost of not dreaming at all because we are afraid of getting it wrong. Teaching from John 14-16, and Jesus’ repeated instruction to “Ask anything in My name and it will be done”, Bill encourages us to be courageous in pursuing our dreams and the desires God has put in our hearts.
Bill Johnson is the Senior Leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California. He serves a growing number of churches that have partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in both purity and power.
