The last thing Beni Johnson (right) wanted to be was one of those “depressing” intercessors. For years, she had watched numerous prayer warriors live joyless, burdened and isolated lives. Yet in 1995, the Lord called Beni to stand in the gap in a unique way—with profound joy. Now both the senior pastor and director of Bethel Church’s Prayer House, she has established a new foundation for intercession that ushers in the supernatural. Ministry Today editor Marcus Yoars talked with Beni about tips for rallying closet intercessors, incorporating intercession into corporate worship services and using radical prayer to change cities.

Revival can mess up any church—in a great way. But what does a pastor do when every week at your church seems like a revival? How much "weirdness" do you allow on an everyday basis when you're still seeing long-term fruit produced by people's unorthodox reactions to encountering the Holy Spirit? And what parameters should a healthy church have for moving in signs and wonders?
These are just some of the questions Bill Johnson (pictured) faces regularly as senior pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, Calif., which has become known for its ongoing culture of revival. Ministry Today editor Marcus Yoars recently spoke with Johnson about the challenges of leading a church in the midst of supernatural activity, while simultaneously guiding believers toward a mature faith and increasing love for Jesus.
