The Bible doesn't contain God, it reveals Him.
Bill Johnson wrote: "The bible doesn't contain God. It reveals Him. You seem to approach the bible looking for lists by which God will be contained. They reveal the ways, but dont restrict His actions. Try to match up acts 2 (tongues, wind, fire) with Joel 2 (prophecy, dreams, visions) They don't match. Yet the Holy Spirit says they do. The principles used to inspire scripture is the same to be used to interpret scriptures. Just saying."

Independence
We were designed to need eachother - God will not give us anything that strengthens our independence. Any vision you can accomplish on your own is not from God, or at least is inferior.

Living in response to God rather than in reaction to the devil
"When a problem arises, whether personal or otherwise, I work to remain conscious of the Spirit of God upon me. If the problem gets bigger than my awareness of the Holy Spirit, I will react to the problem. Living in reaction to the devil gives him too much influence over our lives. We must live as Jesus did - doing what the Father is doing. Living in response to God is far superior than living in reaction to the devil."~Bill Johnson
Our Significance
"We need to remain childlike. Children don't dream of being insignificant." - Bill Johnson

Self-Seeking
To the degree that self-seeking and the need for recognition abides within us, our ministry will be corrupted. Those who are easily offended because they are not given an important title or position should never be accepted by that title or given that position! The difference between those motivated by a desire for recognition and those motivated by love for the Lord is the difference between the false prophet and the true. -Rick Joyner
