Find Safety, Encouragement, and Strength in the Presence of God - Bill Johnson Sermon, Bethel Church

Bill Johnson teaches on the Presence of God and the safety found in the secret place in challenging times. Whatever you are facing, God is waiting with arms wide open to welcome you into His Presence to strengthen, nourish, and encourage you. As revealed in Psalm 91, you are hidden in His Presence and out of reach of the enemy, and not only that, but God prepares a feast for you in the middle of difficulty (Psalm 23). Bill Johnson teaches how to strengthen yourself and encounter God through Scripture, drawing from Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and Jeremiah 29. God’s plans for you are good, His promises are true, and His Presence is always with you.

These moments that are so difficult for you...take just a moment and rediscover the promise of the Lord...he prepares a TABLE (personal strength and encounter, exchange, be fed, fellowship, strength, nourished) in the presence of your enemies. Provision in an unexpected place. Don't be so focused on what isn’t right. God has thoughts for your blessing...He will bring you into wholeness...you won''t miss a thing... Amen

[@incognitoriaanonymousita]

all you can see is the restrictions, the restraints, the problems, what you left behind...what you lost...how it could have been, the promises spoken over your life and they didn't come to pass...and the Lord steps into that absolute chaos...and he speaks Jer. 29:11 I'm thinking about you and the plans...good plans...for your prosperity.

[@incognitoriaanonymousita]

Amen...again

[@ChildofGod315]

Lord help me forgive the ppl that say my testimony isn’t real. I know it’s just lies from the devil. Because he wants me to lose my faith and Lord it’s working. I’m losing faith. Only God knows the burdens I face. I’m a single mom and it is hard to have everything on my shoulders. Especially because both of my sons are special needs but despite the challenges I face. I keep faith in Jesus even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. As a christian that’s all I can do. Waiting on you Jesus.

[@connieeigenmann1684]

You are blessed of the Lord. Jesus loves you and yours so very much. His plan for your life is awesome and full.of health, healing, and prosperity.

[@kristynsanford2095]

Jesus knows your heart, stay strong and keep your eyes on Him! Don't let the unbelief of others bring you down, let your daily walk with Jesus be a testimony to them!

[@thecouchcoach9102]

Jesus..Show her you are her portion, and there is no lack there. Amen. Blessings Sis

[@oneheart8802]

Good morning, Child of God. I want to encourage you that you can and must forgive all people, no matter what they say about you. Mather 6:14 Jesus says at the end of the Lord's prayer, if you forgive (all people... including enemies)... then My Father in heaven will forgive you ..... but ..... if you do not forgive, neither will My Father in heaven forgive you. Even if it's your family or friends... co- workers or church goers. It doesn't matter. Whoever Jesus forgave, we are to forgive. Just like He does. He forgave the whole world from time beginning to time end. This released us from being separated from the Father. Jesus became separated from the Father and Holy Spirit - on our behalf - when He became our sin! Don't you see? He is the Way out! He is the Truth bomb! He is the Life we don't have in us - until we truly follow Him! Do not ever grow weary of doubt good! Don't ever be ashamed of Jesus! Speak confidently about Him - and know He has you hidden under His wings! Your children are His children! Beautiful children - who have Special needs! You must be a good mother as Jesus chose you to love them! Not every mother or father loves a child who is different! I pray that you feel the comfort of the Father's love surround you as you forgive all those people you speak of. And that your faith grows!!! Allow the Lord to bring the people He wants around your children. If you have an x husband, in your prayers, bless him and forgive him (and that's between you and God). If you had a baby daddy - ask the Father to forgive you and him for having sex outside of marriage (this also is a prayer between you and God). If you were molested and that caused a pregnancy, ask God to save and correct the offender. You see, it's all about YOUR relationship with Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Be blessed, today, Child of God! Psalm 34 is a great Psalm to help. God bless you and His provision over you, I pray, today. April 9 2024 Amen
