Typically lilies only bloom once a year, as with most bulb flowers. All lilies need an 8 week dormancy period in order to restart their cycles, this can be forced manually, but could also stress the plant out enough to kill it.

Lilies only bloom once. Most varieties bloom in mid to late summer. Each planting may bloom for up to several weeks. Martagon lilies bloom in the spring, however, and daylilies (which are not related) will sometimes bloom throughout the summer.

Depending on the variety, some can bloom 3 times in one season with some lasting 3 weeks at a time. There are early, mid season and late blooming varieties available to keep wonderful color ready in your garden. Do not pinch the blooms, as bulb plants do not bloom more this way.
