In this power-packed book, Bill Johnson discusses how you can be a person who hosts the Presence of God. Though all believers obviously have the Spirit of God within them, there is more that enables you to be so full that you overflow His Spirit into your world. Take a journey and meet many great prophets and kings from the Old Testament who were known as people of the Presence – people who, in Johnson’s words, “God wanted to be with.” In this succinct and powerful book, Johnson encourages you toward a pursuit of the Presence of God above all else.
In this book, you will discover:
- How to pay attention to the Holy Spirit and respond to Him.
- How the Holy Spirit manifests Himself.
- Biblical figures who were hungry for more of God’s Spirit and learned to host Him.
- Stories of Presence-filled revivalists and personal encounters with the Presence!
Bill Johnson writes: “We are enabled to partner with the Kingdom of Heaven and see it released here on earth! The Presence of God within us will bring reformation to the world around us – encountering a loving God! Host more of Him today!

Endorsements
Only a handful of men carry the special anointing that Bill Johnson carries to usher in the presence. I have witnessed on many occasions the awesome miracles that result from this grace. So I was totally engrossed and blessed by every page of his new book. It ministered to me like no other book I have encountered on the presence of God. The waves of God’s glory overwhelmed me as I got captivated by fresh revelations on every page. I never saw Moses or Gideon or David in this manner before. And these revelations kept coming. This will be my manual for the year.

This is a book meant for recalibration, calling us back to our first love and warning us not to allow the lesser things rob us of the most important, our relationship with Him. I believe it will become a classic devotional book for our day much as Andrew Murrays writings were for a bygone generation.
