Bethel Church Senior Associate Leader Kris Vallotton, who is a bestselling author and co-founder of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, shared on Facebook last week that he was suffering from a kidney stone and that the pain was intense.
“I went to the hospital today and found out I am passing a kidney stone,” Vallotton posted, adding that he “wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.” He then described his last couple of days as “tough.”
A few days later, Vallotton, who prophesied that Donald Trump would be elected President of the United states for a second term in 2020 and then apologized for his wrong prophecy, gave an update regarding his pain.
“I have been trying to pass a kidney stone for 8 days. It’s been 8 of the most intense days of my life! I have experienced lots of pain, but never intense physical pain that literally imprisons my body and taunts my soul,” Vallotton said.

To illustrate how much pain he was experiencing, Vallotton revealed that he would sleep in the bathtub with hot water, because it helped reduce the pain.
The Bethel leader, who frequently shares testimonies of healings he has performed, said that he is scheduled to have surgery on Monday (Oct. 10) to remove the kidney stone. Over the last eight days, Vallotton shared that he had lost 14 pounds due to his inability to eat in light of the pain.
Vallotton titled his post “Pain,” and said, “I think this experience will mark me for life. I can feel compassion growing in me for people trapped in intense pain. How do they function? I find myself wondering how many ‘grouchy, impatient’ folks are actually just people full of pain?”
“It’s really hard to be around people consumed by pain as they really, only have one subject they want to talk about, which isn’t a subject anyone else wants to even think about. The compassionate people who brave the elements and climb the mountain of despair are my heroes! Several of them have shown up in my life this week,” he continued.

Vallotton shared, “I have challenged myself to encourage others while I am in pain to help to make their lives a little better.”
The “Spiritual Intelligence: The Art of Thinking Like God” author admitted that it is “hard to be eloquent in this condition, but it’s easy to sacrifice for the people you love and believe in.”
“I have also worked to be thankful to God. I know He didn’t cause this but He is the Master at using it for good in my life,” Vallotton said. He then concluded his post by saying, “I love you all—this too shall pass!”
Late Monday afternoon (Oct. 10), Vallotton posted that he was pain free as a result of his successful surgery. “Pain free. I had an operation this morning to remove the kidney stone and immediately all the pain is gone! Thank you everyone who prayed for me during this crazy time. I love you all.”
