Bill Johnson begins this session by reviewing Mark 8, where Jesus challenges His disciples with three questions: “Can’t you see? Can’t you hear? Can’t you remember?” Bill then discusses two key aspects: biblical meditation and the power of remembering. He emphasizes how Israel was commanded to keep God's testimonies and how significant it is for believers today to do the same. In Deuteronomy 6, the people were instructed to remember God's supernatural interventions, which shaped their cultural and spiritual identity.

Bill explains that losing sight of God's supernatural works can lead to a religious form without power, as seen throughout Israel’s history. He uses Psalm 78 to show how the children of Ephraim, though equipped for battle, turned back in cowardice because they forgot God’s miracles. Bill connects this to the importance of keeping the testimonies of God alive in our conversation and culture to avoid losing courage and radical obedience.

He shares several personal stories of healing and miracles to illustrate how remembering and sharing testimonies create an atmosphere where God continues to move. One example involves a boy with club feet who was healed during a meeting, which then led to other miraculous healings in different locations as people heard and believed the testimony. Bill stresses the importance of accuracy when sharing testimonies, making sure to give glory to God and never embellishing details.

Bill concludes by reflecting on Jesus’ question in Mark 8, encouraging believers to remember God's works, as this will shape their expectations and responses to current challenges. He emphasizes that living with a continual awareness of God's supernatural interventions is key to fostering a culture where the impossible becomes possible. Bill then leads the group in a prayer, asking for grace to remember and declare God's works, to keep the testimonies of His miraculous power alive.
