Bill Johnson teaches on faith and God’s priority of trust. Bold faith stands on the shoulders of quiet trust. Faith is not complicated or hard; as believers it is our nature to believe. Our faith comes from a confident trust in who God is. While the enemy works to draw us into fear so that we would forget God’s goodness, reminding ourselves of who God is keeps us in peace and trust, even in difficult circumstances. ‘Bold faith stands on the shoulders of quiet trust’ is a phrase that Bill Johnson came out of a season of difficulty with. After praying and contending for breakthrough, he realized that quiet trust is the foundation of our faith. Subscribe for weekly videos: https://bit.ly/bjmYoutube

flower with a long stem in thorns and he
responds you mean a rose says yes that’s
it Fred turned to his wife and said Rose
what
was what was the name of that memory
CL that’s pretty
pitiful that’s just plain pitiful all
right
open your Bibles to uh Second
Corinthians chapter
3 2 Corinthians 3 we’re going to read a
few verses out of chapter 3 and then u a
few more out of uh chapter
4 but let me give you a context I want
to talk to you about the way of
faith and uh
you know faith faith is supposed to be
normal for a Believer why we’re called
Believers
amen it’s actually it’s actually in our
nature in Christ to believe the one
who’s perfectly
faithful the spirit of God took up Res
residence in
us and he exudes confidence in the
father and all of our
relationship with the Holy Spirit leads
to Faith leads to confidence in God
unfortunately we have images of hype we
have images of control we have images of
so many other things that have nothing
to do with faith but I want to talk to
you about pure and simple Faith it’s
vital and it has to be important to us
because faith is one of the two
absolutes that heaven anticipates in the
heart of every believer the two
absolutes are love and faith we know
that there’s faith hope and love and
love is the greatest of these but then
we also know in Hebrews 11 it says that
without faith it’s impossible to please
him I I know there’s a part of of life
where we we don’t have to do anything to
please God he actually just Delights in
us who we are as we Are Made In His
Image I get that but we can’t discount
the fact that Faith pleases him there’s
something about our response to who he
is that brings great pleasure to his own
heart I some some of the stories that
move me the most in the New Testament
are where where you have Jesus with a
centurion who demonstrates a level of
faith that no one in all of Israel
demonstrated the sarap phenician woman
who wanted her daughter healed and
delivered and uh and Jesus was
explaining to her that he had minister
to the Jew first and not the Gentile and
she Rose above that into a place of
faith and he was stunned and I don’t
know what you do with this but but to
for God to be in
awe of you is
amazing to for him to stop in his tracks
and
go wow I’m impressed it was so moved by
the offering of Mary who poured out the
ointment years worth of of of income to
purchase this ointment poured it out
over him he was so stunned by the act
the act that he announced that this will
be spoken of forever this this story of
this offering of this sacrifice will
actually be on record and talked about
for all of
eternity and so it’s it’s it should
matter to us that there’s actually
things that we can do that really that
really touch his heart in unique ways
it’s not uh it’s not Christian
calisthenics it’s not perform ing so
that he’ll love us we can’t cause him to
love us any more than he loves us but
there is this element of bringing
pleasure to the heart of God that is uh
is so special and and I just bless the
children and and don’t ever feel bad if
you have a child in here that cries I
don’t I don’t mind it’s part of life in
fact I I was reading earlier uh earlier
that de Moody had a meeting once where
the only people who could come to the
meeting were moms with babies in their
arms they so it was a I’m sure it was
crazy but it was it was God showed up
and and Chris got gray hair in that
meeting just totally went white yeah
that’s
right yeah don’t honestly don’t ever
feel feel
bad faith is
um faith is actually the most normal
response to the discovery of who he is
because all it is is a confidence in his
nature in his
word and so unbelief Creeps in where
we’re unsure
yes if you don’t have questions in life
you’re intellectually brain
dead we’re supposed to have questions
it’s vital to have
questions but questions that are raised
in the atmosphere of trust lead to
Revelation
questions that arise in the attitude of
mistrust lead to
unbelief you see Zacharias the father of
John the Baptist when the angel showed
up and announced the great news that his
wife was going to give him a son he said
how can I know this is for sure and
Gabriel
says you
know I’m Gabriel I stand in the presence
of God you know like that should be
enough evidence but
um the Lord made Zachariah silent for
nine months probably so he wouldn’t mess
up the
miracle because many miracles are
aborted by what we
say so here’s this question that really
held God Hostage to an
answer
questions are normal for the believer
because you can’t develop qu uh trust
without
questions you have to have mystery or
you can’t develop a life of trust
right there’s no need for trust if
there’s no mystery if there’s no
questions it’s actually essential that
you live in the middle of things that
you can’t control you can’t explain some
things you don’t like some things you’re
overwhelmed by that are beyond anything
you know you could ever earn or deserve
and you live in the middle of this
mystery and that’s where trust is
cultivated so without those elements you
can’t cannot possibly develop a life
life of trust that he is looking for
from each of his own faith pleases
him if you look at me with uh first uh
excuse me 2 Corinthians chapter 3 we’re
going to jump into the middle of subject
because I don’t want to I actually don’t
want to deal with the broad subject
that’s being talked about it’ll take too
much time for for this morning’s
session but I do want to he’s he’s
dealing with the fact that there’s a
veil over the eyes of the Jews to the
reality of Christ all right so we’re
going to jump into the middle of that
but the principle that applies there
also applies for us verse 14 their minds
were
blinded for until this day the same Veil
remains unlifted in the reading of the
Old Testament because the veil is taken
away in Christ but even to this day when
Moses is read a veil lies on their heart
nevertheless when one turns to the Lord
the veil is taken away okay now listen
to that last verse because this provides
uh an insight for us on the life of
faith faith has to matter to us because
this is our whole life is bringing
pleasure to the heart of the Lord and
our dreams are fulfilled when we
fulfilled his dreams in the same way
that Joseph’s dreams were fulfilled when
he fulfilled the pharaoh’s dreams and
it’s just the life we’ve been called to
it’s it’s what’s called seeking first
the kingdom and all these things will be
ated there’s this this domino effect and
whenever we reverse the order we lose
both all right verse 16 again
nevertheless when one turns to the Lord
the veil is taken away that’s
fascinating because you would think that
the veil would be a removed so a person
could turn to the
Lord but the the point that’s being made
here and also in chapter 4 is that
there’s a veil of deception that Lies
Over The Eyes of people they’re diluted
about who God is about what he has said
what he has promised there’s this realm
of deception that exists over the minds
of people in chapter 4 it says he has
blinded their
minds blinded their minds the
implication is Minds
see so he’s blinded their minds to
reality to truth and yet it says when
they
believe the veil is lifted the veil
isn’t lifted so they can believe why
because Faith doesn’t come from the Mind
faith comes from the
heart so no matter the level of
deception that exists over a person
there’s always enough Holy Spirit
activity there’s already there’s always
enough going on in the spirit of a
person to yield to the Lord so that
deception is removed the point is faith
comes first first understanding comes
second faith comes first understanding
come second we know that in HEB Hebrews
11 it says by faith we understand the
worlds were made out of nothing by faith
we understand Faith came first why
because the Lord is looking for people
who yield who surrender from
here not just
here he’s not asking us to adopt his
principles he’s not urging us to embrace
bibl ibal principles so we have a
successful
life he’s urging us to embrace the
principle
one the
Lord yielding see faith is a result of
surrender not
striving you don’t work yourself into
faith and one of the biggest enemies of
a life of faith is
busyness it’s not the busyness is wrong
it’s just without that place of of quiet
Ang anchoring the soul in who God is and
what he has said we become easily
persuaded and swayed by popular opinion
public opinion by the movement of the
day and that anchor of the soul that
just finds its rest in the nature of God
and the word of God that’s where that
element of trust gets developed in the
middle of craziness and
Chaos this verse goes on it says uh
verse 16 it says nevertheless when one
turns to the Lord the veil is taken away
verse 17 now the Lord is the spirit
that’s interesting statement the Lord is
the spirit the holy spirit is the
Lord the holy spirit is the Lord and
where the spirit of the Lord is there is
liberty another way to put that is
wherever the holy spirit is Lord Liberty
is the
evidence the evidence of the presence of
God not just in the room I mean no he
can be in the room but you I can resist
him and not yield to him right so it’s
not just the presence of the Lord in
this sense it’s the presence of the Lord
in this sense that he has had his his
impact of lordship over my perception
over my thinking over my heart there’s a
place of tenderness and yielded this see
my my life’s goal is to be tender enough
to the Lord that he can touch me with
his fingerprint and leave his imprint on
my heart I want to be that tender that
soft and tender to his that any breath
moves me any Breath of God moves my
thinking moves my
actions we really do play to the
audience of one we really do live to the
audience of one to bring pleasure to
one and the moment I lose that is when I
I I become very frustrated with him in
fact the way I like to put it is that if
God is your servant you will constantly
be frustrated he will never measure
up but if you are his servant you will
always stand in
amazement being overwhelmed by how good
he really is there’s a shift in
posture and if I fail to make that shift
in posture I will think I have a
contract to make demands of
God instead of realizing he gave himself
to me as the
contractor so that together we would co-
labor to see his purposes carried out fa
Faith really is the result of being
overwhelmingly confident that he is who
he says he is it’s
normal so where the spirit of the Lord
is there is Liberty that statement we
use a lot I like it I like it because
it’s it just speaks so much of the
Kingdom but it’s given to us in this
context of blinded
Minds being released from deception in
seeing that Liberty is actually seeing
what we’re supposed to be
seeing that Liberty why is it important
to
see I’m glad you
asked why why is it important why why is
perception so important well OB there’s
obvious reasons but let me tell you the
ultimate reason the ultimate reason this
whole chapter is actually about
encountering the glory in fact we should
read this next verse this will help it
to make more sense it’s real wordy but
let’s work through it together Verse 18
but we all with unveiled face in other
words the deceptions been lifted
beholding as in a mirror the glory of
the Lord interesting way to put things
I’m seeing the glory of the Lord
but it’s like I’m looking in a
mirror what does that say about what’s
happening to you hope you’re getting it
we are being transformed into the same
image from glory to glory just as by the
spirit of the Lord so where the holy
spirit is Lord he lifts the veil so that
we can see him more clearly but what
happens as a result beholding the glory
of the Lord is the most transformational
encounter a person can and will ever
have when the Bible say says when you
see him you will be like him that is
true but the principle is also in the
present tense as you see him you will be
like
him many people wait to see some image
where Jesus you
know Tada shows up in in in almost in
the flesh or so that we see him in in
Vision form instead of realizing any
time we consider who he is and what he
has said and we quiet our heart that’s
we just look in his Direction there is
an imprint taking place in our lives of
who he is everything gets re-calibrated
our thoughts get recalibrated our values
our decisions our priorities in life all
this stuff gets recalibrated the more
the more I become confident and aware
that he truly is with me not just as a
promise that I that I haven’t realized
personally by experience but as a
promise that I live in I live in the
experience of the abiding presence of
Christ in that context Faith becomes
more and more normal and I become
changed into His Image so the whole
point is is that beholding him changes
us you know you sometimes with with way
things are emphasized in the church and
and by us it it would it would almost
appear that it’s by our hard labor that
we’re changed and I I believe I do
believe in hard labor and I do believe
in in really repr representing the Lord
with great Zeal fervency laying my life
down to see him use my
labors but there there is nothing so
transformational as beholding him those
things are important because I’ve beheld
him in other words I don’t do these
things to obtain favor I already have
the favor I do them because I have favor
in other words what are you going to do
with what God has given
you you know if we hold a little baby
and look at that little child and that
child doesn’t have to do anything in
fact what it does do is quite offensive
and yet we have such favor on that child
we just love that you know I A friend of
mine just had just had a baby here just
recently and uh and their statement was
I I didn’t know I I didn’t know I could
love anything as much as I love this
baby how many that’s absolutely
true there’s nothing like
it and so that baby doesn’t have to do
anything for me to love it anymore than
I do do but if that baby’s still laying
in the crib when it’s 21 you know you
might want to light the mattress on fire
see if you can get some motivation going
because there’s got to be some activity
that comes from the love that you’ve
displayed poor example but you got my
point all right chapter
4 yeah don’t light the mattress on fire
bad illustration I have to be careful
now my my third gr sense of humor just
bites me once in a while all
right chapter 4 down in verse uh three
says even if our gospel is veiled it is
veiled to those who are perishing whose
Minds the God of this age has blinded
who do not believe lest the light of the
Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the
image of God should shine on them that’s
just reaffirming verse 16 of the
previous chapter now I want you to jump
over to verse 13
since we have the same Spirit of Faith
according to what is written I believed
and therefore I spoke we also believe
and therefore speak that statement I
believed therefore I spoke Paul is
quoting an Old Testament passage here so
what he’s doing is he’s
taking a a a principle that was
established first in the Old Testament
that made it through the cross unchanged
and remains in the New Testament we’ve
we’ve looked at this before some things
ended at the cross animal sacrifice some
things were changed by the cross the
nature of the Sabbath uh Jubilee Jubilee
is every year for a Believer it was
every 50 years for Israel so some things
were changed at the cross and some
things made it through the cross
unchanged and this principle is one of
them I believed therefore I spoke say
that with me I believed therefore I
spoke now I’m sure you’ve run into
horror stories of people who have tried
to get their way by confessing whatever
they want and announcing the power of
their confession you know there’s a
natural power in the confession of a
person you don’t even have to be born
again if you say the right things over
time it will have effect on you but the
real power that we’re interested in is
the power of God and that is released
when we say what he is
saying discovering what he is saying is
the vital part of our life Jesus set the
establ or established the the model for
us the standard for us he said I only
say What I Hear My Father say so all the
words that came out of his mouth were
words he actually heard from the father
and so when we partner with the heavenly
father to declare what he is saying all
of Heaven Waits to ride on that which
came from the heart of the Father the
way I describe it my personal conviction
is the Angelic realm uh it’s going to
sound a little strange but they can they
can smell the frag fragance of the
throne room when you say something that
originated in the heart of the
father I I come to that analogy uh this
way we know that Satan is called
Beelzebub the Lord of the Flies flies
are attracted to what death
Decay I had a freezer die
once out in a
shed it was hell on Earth and it was it
was it were oh it was bad it was just so
bad it was so bad I don’t know how flies
got in there but there were more than
mankind could count inside this freezer
we didn’t empty the freezer we just took
the whole thing to the dump just and all
the other freezers that were there just
ran away they
just I embellished a little on that
part so if Satan is likened unto uh be
the Lord of the Flies flies are
attracted by fragrance of decay
then the Angelic realm it would seem to
me would be attracted by life the Breath
of Heaven the very things that God
speaks and according to Psalms 103
Angels carry out the voice of his word
there’s something that when we declare
what God is saying they are attracted to
that they might
enforce it’s true it is true it’s it’s
just learning to partner with God the
way that he wants to be partnered with
and so here we have this statement I
believe therefore I spoke and then he
responds he says we also believe and
therefore
speak you know if if we could if we
could just learn
truth and lay aside every bad example
we’ve ever seen we do a lot
better but often times there
are there are touchy reactions to
phrases to words to mov movements to
whatever because in our mind we have the
worst possible example of that
idea and there are many things that have
been rejected by the church I remember
uh years ago a Wonder one of the most
amazing men I’ve ever met said stay away
from the prophetic because it’s caused
so much shipwreck well he had
experienced a number of tragic things
and and his reaction was stay away from
that because it it has caused so much
damage in the church
and uh and I I I had so much respect and
and do this man’s in heaven now but so
much respect for this
man and uh but but strangely his word
excited me for the
prophetic it made it encouraged me
because I thought well if the devil
works that hard to counterfeit something
because it has that much power then then
the real must be all that much more
valuable you know you don’t ever you
don’t ever hear of a counterfeit ring
being busted and who counterfeited
pennies you know I mean it’s not worth
the effort you know they’re only going
to counterfeit something of value and so
whenever I see the enemy trying to
distort a reality distort a truth that
actually encourages me it motivates me
and so and so what what his warning did
do is it enabled me to take extra steps
of caution and spe not caution in a
sense of fear but caution in the sense
of walking as a team I remember with
team and a number of other with Chris a
number of others uh in Weaverville but
just partnering together to make sure
that we did this right stay accountable
together as we as we go places where we
don’t know anyone who’s ever gone there
before it’s certainly people have
traveled there for years but we didn’t
know they weren’t close to us so we had
to like explorers see if we could find
something and so we’d keep each other
accountable make sure that we are
seeking first the kingdom and not our
own Attention our own Glory our own
title or position or whatever and some
sometimes that’s what you do is you just
make that partn parip together you to
say you know what this way of faith is
important to me and I realize I can make
it about what I get I can make it about
you know how God uses me I can make it
about Ministry instead of relationship
watch me if you see that correct me the
slap of a friend is a very valuable
thing but don’t change the
pursuit don’t change the pursuit oh I
did it wrong and then you quit no that’s
stupid if you were responding to
something that God said to do find
responding to something that he said
pleases him this lifestyle of Faith then
what we do is we walk together the slap
of a Friend helps us to walk correctly
impurity but after the
authentic so here’s this issue called I
believe therefore I spoke I this
fascinates me because I I’ve
experimented with it through the years
and still I life for me is just one huge
experiment but I I remember um being
with Randy Clark in Colorado several
years ago and I had been running an
experiment for a while there and anytime
I was in a meeting if I if I said it the
beginning and the Lord would always
prompt me he’d remind me if I said at
the beginning it is normal for tumors to
disappear in the presence of the Lord if
I said that at the beginning of the
meeting at the end we would check and I
remember this one meeting in uh Randy
and I dialoging on this subject and uh
in in Denver and by the end of the
meeting there were nine people that had
tors either completely disappear or were
uh significantly diminished and
diminishing nine people and yet what
I’ve noticed is if I don’t say that
chances are very high it won’t
happen now is it the power of my speech
no no it’s just me cooperating with what
he’s saying and then his breath is added
where his Angelic realm enforced the
very thing declared so what are you
saying about your life sometimes our
need need for sympathy from friends when
we’re in the middle of the
problem sometimes we find greater
comfort from the sympathy of friends
than we do in the comfort of trust and
confidence in
God and we’ll actually talk talk down I
I believe in transparency I believe you
know I’m hurting I’m I need help having
people you know I I get that and I think
that’s vital and that’s important so
don’t misunderstand me but but there’s
an there’s another element to this a
feeding off the sympathy of friends that
sometimes becomes more valuable to us
than the place of confidence in
God I was in uh I was in New Zealand in
this last August and uh I I do a
particular conference there every year
and I I think it’s been about 12 years
I’ve been gr every year for 12
years and I was there this time with
Michael Maiden who’s a just a wonderful
wonderful friend and a wonderful man of
God I I really want to have him here at
some point he’s a great prophet he’s
he’s ministered so deeply to me through
the
years and um anyway I was I was in this
conf conference and it was the last
night and and he got up at the end and
he called me up and he began to prophesy
over me and I you know I’ve had a lot of
good words through the years and I I I
treasure them I record them I if there’s
a video I I I get it downloaded into my
iPad so I can sit in my living room and
just watch I had a real rough SP this
last year where I was really really sick
some of you might remember that one and
I couldn’t eat I couldn’t drink water I
couldn’t do anything I was I was a I was
in a in a rough rough
place and uh Michael Maiden called me
out he brought me up he says he said he
said Pastor Bill he says God won’t leave
me alone on this and he said I wouldn’t
do this otherwise and then he began to
bring this word and this is what he
shared he
said he said you’ve had a three and a
half year period of time of an un un
usual assault on your family and I don’t
know how many of you might know this but
my daughter was within a day within 24
hours of death you’re two years ago this
month my mom within three days the exact
same within 24 hours almost lost I was
overseas and uh that was that’s rough
news to get while you’re you’re uh
somewhere else you
know and then Brian went through through
his rough rough thing and um
just each seems like each family member
went through something unusually weird
and strange now you have to understand I
I really do not live devil focused at
all
I I I know he exists but you know he’s
not he’s not worthy of my
conversation I I only I only talk about
him long enough to get the Crosshair
settled on his forehead you know that’s
it’s just it’s the only the only purpose
for bringing him up is so that I can
pull the trigger I mean I mean honestly
that’s he he he just he annoys me he
annoys me so much I refuse to give him
credit for anything
yeah she reminds me what sa was little
she you heard her growling on Halloween
she hears this growling she turns around
Sor standing in front of this hollyw
Holly
Halloween display in a drugstore and
she’s growling at the witch you know
that’s That’s The Way We R our kids I
[Applause]
growl so Michael anyway called me out
and and uh and began to prophesy over me
and he said you’ve been under this three
and a half year period of of assault and
he says it has ended and then he went on
and he
said what annoyed the now Michael would
have no way of knowing
this would he wouldn’t know about what’s
happened in the family either but he he
would have no way of knowing this he
said what annoyed the enemy the most
is that in the midst of your your
darkest deepest moments you just laid on
your bed and gave thanks to God for his
goodness and that’s
true that’s true there was an unusual
Grace
see he walks with
us though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death there are measures
of his presence that you can only find
there there are measures of his presence
you can only find there walking through
that’s where you find him and it was
such a Grace in that moment and I I
remember just laying in my bed or in my
recliner and just unable to really
function for a a season and just
reviewing promises reviewing reading
through the word just refreshing myself
in God’s goodness giving giving him
thanks for such an amazing family a
church family my natural family and just
taking grabbing your moment to just
celebrate his kindness and his goodness
it does something to just settle settle
the fear things you know it’s it’s like
well I came out of the whole deal I’ve
told you this before but I repeat I came
out of the whole deal realizing it was
all about
trust bold Faith stands on the shoulders
of quiet trust all God was looking for
for me was just to hold the course and
trust him that was it I was looking for
great demon ations of faith I was
looking for great demonstrations of
breakthrough and the only thing I the
only thing I had was to be quiet and
just cultivate
trust Brian my son says it best he says
if all you’re left with is God consider
that a
gift that’s the truth that’s the truth
discovering him in those moments is
everything so what what what is he
looking for for you and me every one of
us have issues things that are going on
positive some are challenges some are
horrible but we all got stuff and in the
middle of that to maintain a real quiet
spirit in the presence of the Lord where
trust is constantly cultivated the great
bold Faith all those things they’ll take
their place but just maintain the
absolute confidence that God is who he
says he is and that he is good and that
his promises will endure over any
situation and somehow maintaining that
one
thing has a domino effect on the rest of
life I love bold faith I I was I was
raised in a house hearing the stories of
Smith Wigglesworth and all these people
in my f family’s history and I loved
seeing different friends of mine Through
The Years Mario Mel and others that
exhibited such bold faith and that’s
always been my ambition is to live with
and demonstrate bold faith and it
happens but I found out what God is
interested in he’s interested in that
quiet trust that just does not move
regardless of circumstances does not
fall into question regardless of
surroundings so father I pray that I
pray that for us as a as a family that
you would you would once again release
Grace once a let again you would release
that Grace that gift over our lives that
quiet trust would become so deep and
bring about such a profound
stability that nothing could challenge
our thinking our affection our
confidence in
you thank you
Lord thanks so much whenever we come
together there’s
always high chances that we have when we
have this many people in a room that we
have folks here who just simply don’t
know the
Lord and the most important thing that
could happen today would be for anyone
here who is not certain about their
relationship with
Christ to pray a very simple prayer of
faith it’s a prayer of surrender it’s a
prayer of yielded it’s acknowledging who
he is it’s surrendering to his lordship
it’s it’s
his his ability to rule over our lives
goodness in such a gracious
manner causing us to become everything
he created us to become but it comes in
that point of
surrender and what I want to ask is if
there’s anyone here that would just say
Bill I don’t want to leave this building
I don’t want to leave this property
until I
know that I’m am right with god Till I
know I’ve been forgiven of
sin if that’s you I want you just to put
a hand up right where you are I want to
