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.

So good, so right on!
Isaiah 30:15 Amplified
…in quietness and in trusting confidence shall be your strength.

Holy Spirit asked me a week ago to give him my quiet trust. to just simply sit with him and do this. I thought it was interesting phrasing and i have been practicing/wrestling with this. To hear Bill emphasize this concept so many times has been so affirming. Thank you Lord for speaking and confirmation.

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 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.

I enjoy your videos I live in Ozark Missouri have kids that goes to James River. Whenever you’re here I listen to you on the phone. I pray for you. It’s hard to lose a mate. My youngest daughter lost her mate about the same time you lost your going on three years. It’s sad specially when you’re young.

I get the face to face trembling. I describe it as the most intense thing every to be expected. Faster than fastest, stronger than strongest yet gentle enough to not tare me apart. So mighty that I couldn't stand nor look at him directly. I turned my head and shielded my face with my hands. I have not experienced more intense Love that could smash me yet didn't. Glory to God. Amen Amen.

P.s. we have not because we ask not.

I lived most of my life in fear, of man, death, losses, lack, now i fear nothing, no man or death for it has no sting. Now God makes the wind blow and i tremble.

🥰 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!
