How to Trust God In the Valleys of Life - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church

Bill Johnson teaches on trusting God in the valleys of life. In this message from 2016, Bill shares about a time of serious illness and how he stayed encouraged and connected to the Presence of God during that difficult time. Psalm 23 reassures us that God is with us in the valleys of life, in fact, there are aspects of His Presence that can only be experienced in these valleys. Whatever you are facing, God is with you. He is sustaining you, encouraging you, building your faith, and preparing you for what is to come.

God's goodness to me. My mother was electrocuted when I was in the womb. At the age of 2 I feel 10ft threw a scene door where a deck was being built, I landed a foot from a pick axe. I've wrecked bicycles go carts 4-wheelers, 6 car crashes, 1 motorcycle crash in a ditch 4ft wide with a barbwire fence next to me at 60mph. I lost a child in my 20s and let's just say tried to die. I used drugs for 27years. I tried and tried to die. Then standing on the edge of a cliff, I had tried everything but Jesus. I took a step back and ran to God. He ran faster. 4 years later I live. I want to live. I can see now he was with me all along. This is the very short watered down version. Glory to God. Thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen Amen.

I just went through 3 years from what you're talking about. Had I not, I wouldn't have understood the absolute Golden Nuggets of this teaching. After my husband died of cancer, one year later, I'm one less kidney and diagnosed by the surgeon as stage 4. Right now, I sit in absolute PEACE and smiling with Joy and laughter that only, ONLY came from the Lord. But there were buckets and buckets of tears, and trauma before that..... absolute meltdowns while I screamed, " I trust you anyway Lord, even though I don't feel you, I know you're here! Thank you Bill for this teaching. It may be 8 years later, but it spoke to me today. Thank you, Jesus. Bill Johnson your annointed teachings of God's word and truth kept me alive these last 3 years. Now, I lift my head and thank God everyday for what was the worst time in my life and how the Lord rescued me through it.

[@upsidedownkingdom5263]

WOW!! Praise God! He has carried me through stage 4 cancer too. Was so hard but learned so much from the Lord through it. Latest CT showed what doc said was likely new mets to liver in 5 places. But my spirit felt excited! And the Lord said in my heart "Don't be afraid, this will be for My glory." I went home and danced and leapt with joy that nomatter what, He would be glorified and I'm so grateful that He didn't let me go through fear. My family trusted and praised along with me. This strengthened me too. I still had a weird meltdown about something else during that time though! I got prayer at church and two weeks later had mri. The team got together to analyse and later I got a phone call saying, "good news we can't find anything that looks like cancer." Now I get to share this with people I meet as a reason to ask them if I can pray for them. May the lord be glorified, HE IS EVERYTHING ❤ the greatest miracle to me is joy and peace nomatter the report or outcome and getting to know He who is the Treasure above all. 🙏🙏🙏

[@susan3733]

absolutely amazing ❤ God is amazing 🥰 I understand your joy too , through all my tears and pains I trust God and have His peace and love within, I was diagnosed with PKD and PLD bout 20 yrs ago, then with that comes heart problems (heart races) and a different diet. Then now comes thickening of the blood body making too many red blood cells so test test and more test, phlebotomies and the wonder of now more issues??? But just as the thoughts come God reminds me, my peace sustains you ❤! I thank God for His glorious love that brings my soul body and mind with peace. Thank you Abba Yahweh🙌🏼 God bless you and others going through storms and trusting Yahweh and having peace ❤

[@upsidedownkingdom5263]

@susan3733 Yes!!! Bless the Lord O my soul and all my inmost being praise His holy Name!...Who forgives all our sins, and heals all our diseases, Who redeems our lives from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion. Who satisfies our desires with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagle's! Psalm 103 flowed through my mind when I read your testimony :)

Bold faith stands on the shoulders of quiet trust. So good!

[@coynz9488]

I understand THE KNOWING of something being the shadow of THAT valley...21 years now...TRUSTing

[@vickitabor8789]

🥰 You are such a great story teller‼️ Your testimony of walking through the valley, continually emphasizing the goodness of God’s presence with you & minimizing the struggle, is such a key to victory, imho! Eyes continually on our loving faithful Father! I love your humor‼️ 😄‼️ Our lives built on a huge foundation of quiet trust 🎯 …trust in Him is not a topic for debate, and bold faith flows from the John 15:7 abiding… it flows so natural! Such an encouraging message…your life is a living letter of the goodness of God!
