I lost my husband 4 years ago and when grief would become so overwhelming, I would look up to heaven and tell the Lord that I offer this grief to Him as a sacrifice of praise.

Holy Spirit help me retain Your majestic truths spoken through this humble servant 🛐

God builds the walls of our salvation and invites us to build the gate with praise. The gate functions as passage and through our praise we invite others into Zion and the Lord’s refuge. Praise is becoming my favorite testimony and expression of joy. Whether we praise Him for pain or for deliverance we invite others to see the work of the Lord in our lives.

I’ve heard Pastor Bill preach this message a couple of times and hands down it is one of the most powerful messages for the body of Christ!!

Thank you Pastor Bill for sharing this message, I cant tell you how much this has helped. God bless you so much

I give you praise and glory my Lord for taking my overwhelming heartbreak and loss and using it for the refinement of my soul that I may a good steward of your blessings to come. My heart is yours in love and hope my God. Thank you

From the cross to the grave my debt is paid . Lord I love to sing you're praises . 🙌

Praise Almighty Pastor  Bill. Times of disappointment and losses are truly humbling, as they are existential moments, inviting the creation of new gates and a stronger identity forged by Jesus and the Lord. Giving praise in a win is easy, praising Him through adversity is hard, but so very powerful as we are remade as He  intends. More gates in the wall, pearls of wisdom. Obedience is challenging but times of truth to love and a good life and our  Higher Power. Mouring in hope is good, avoidance in anger leads only to blackness and disbelief. Healing through God in the here and now, through offering the goodness of God and Jesus in the here and now is good. Gates are formed through irritation and pain, trust in Him to Glorify you! Faithful to His promises in His Word. Growth mainly happens through existential times, you will see this truth in this life and in Heaven. Pray and Meditate on His Word. Walls for safety are good but gates are good too. Love Him and Jesus!!!❤

You never lose when you praise.  You know the end of the story . Jesus wins

This was an on time word for me 🙌🏻 I lost my mom last year, and I have an estranged child, gone through grief, betrayal, etc.  I see opportunity in it all and I praise God for what He is doing, will do.  I put my faith in Christ! He has held me up and I can rejoice today. I have hope.

I ve had this on repeat all day

Thank you for Bill Johnson for yielding to the Lord, my life is changed forever. You were speaking about me throughout the sermon. Thank you Holy Spirit for bringing me here.

I lost my husband from covid 3 yrs ago.During this time my heavenly father has never left me or forsaken me.He has been there trough it all .Mentally physically Spirtually and financially.❤

Timely message. Thanks Bill for your openness in sharing.

That’s me….felt stuck

After my mother passed, I felt beyond broken. But Jesus was there. He’s still helping me. If anyone is going through deep grief, please please seek God and draw near to Him in the word. If you don’t where to start, there’s a channel called “We Are Jesus Doers” that a tons of Bible studies and even homework. Getting into the word WITH Jesus really brought me through the mourning process. He really helps us. Our part is hold onto Him and follow Him.
God bless you ❤

This message needs to be taught over and over again! Too many believers become indifferent with God when He seems to not fulfill His promise, maintain His integrity…A lie the enemy wants us to swallow hook, line, & sinker!!! God is who He says He is! The lack is on our end…we must run into His embrace at these times! Let Him comfort us and restore us to greater glory!! I must be faithful to Him…my God who cannot lie!!!It is a critical time. Our lamps must be full no matter what comes! His love never fails!❤

Wow ….. thank you for these beautiful nuggets❣️

My husband died, March 2022, I was praying right to the end. Yes, it was disappointing. I don’t understand. I know even though it hurts, God is good.

Thank you,  I was pregnant and going through separation from my husband. So broken and almost loosing my mind. I learnt to bring my brokeness as a living sacrifice to my God. I remember the suicidal attack every day, the enemy telling me that i was better off dead. He kept me together when I couldn't even even pray for myself. All I could do was cry, and my prayer was just one line.
I'm alive and well, and my beautiful baby is growing, healthy, and happy. We serve a wonderful God. Thank you, Abba Father. Thank you, Lord Jesus❤.
