Backseat DJs: What's Controlling Your Joy? | Flip The Flow | Pastor Steven Furtick 

Comment Below: Are you most likely to look behind (dwell on the past), look ahead (worry about the future), or look around (compare yourself to others)?

Don’t tell your problems to people who can’t help you. I needed to hear this.

"Sometimes I'm resisting what I should accept and accepting what I should resist." .....mic drop. He needs to put these on T-Shirts!

You can’t plan ahead!! Because you aren’t in control! I thought I had my future planned-then BAM!! I was struck down & my body was injured! I became disabled! I could no longer work on a job! My plan was gone! It has been very hard to accept being unable to do things because I physically can’t! I still struggle with that! My feelings have been so mixed up, because I feel I lost myself! I’m trying to find myself again! God is trying to mold me to be the person I should be now!! Please include me in prayer!

Listening to this sermon gave me the definition of joy! For years I have struggled trying to be joyful. I realize that I was focusing on the wrong things to give me joy. God lead me to watch this entire sermon. I feel so encouraged. I have been battling with depression, anxiety and loneliness for years. I need Him. I need Jesus!

"Joy is a focus before it's a feeling"

I'm struggling so desperately with loneliness. I have prayed and cried and prayed for God to consume my entire heart. Why do I allow loneliness to steal my joy? I get the worst panic attacks to where my heart actually hurts, it aches. I need your teaching right, this exact teaching to help me FLIP THE FLOW! YES AMEN.... You have no idea how MUCH this means, thank you for listening to His calling for you.

Pleae pray for my wife she is very sick pleae lift her up and pray for me I am sad, thank you

"Tell those things in your backseat that are trying to control your joy that they are not your God" so so powerful

Hello, I am in need of prayer. I am having some health issues specifically with my eyes. I pray all day long for healing but I would appreciate more than you know for anyone reading this to pray for me. I suffer from horrible anxiety that is even worse when involving health issues. This would mean so much. Thank you❤️

Steven Furtick just like you this is my testimony😔. It's not my physical scars but my Heart scars , mental scars and emotional scars.. I say to you, you are an embodiment of strength and excellence. Thank you for delivering Gods message to me. Now I know, if I'm looking for wisdom ask God, who is all knowing.

Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me here!

🙌🏽 comparison is the thief of joy

Please pray for me anxiety PTSD panic attacks insomnia.. Nd for my HUSBAND marquise please I need my husband home he's incarserated I pray god opens judge eyes nd reopens his case so he can come home please

Going to God first ensures that we are keeping our focus on Him.

I have NEEDED to hear this! I have felt SO alone for SO long!!! I'm in a profession that requires me to help others along a healing journey. But my joy has been lacking. I have NOT felt loved or appreciated. After this message...I really do feel better. I felt like I was dying inside. I have been eating my emotions, on and off, for a year. All because I truly felt...alone. Thank you for these reminders. My pain...with a purpose. I can handle that! I love you guys!!! Thank you for your Godly wisdom!

I needed this word more than I needed my celery juice this morning. Thank you Lord. God bless you Steve Furtick 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Joy is a Focus before he becomes a feeling 🙏🏽🙏🏽 nothing destroys joy like comparison, thank you for this message 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽 The gift of Joy is in Presence of Jesus that means I have to focus to what God is doing in me at the moment Wauuuu I am just blessed by this wonderful message So I cannot choose joy but I can choose my priority and joy comes from that Amen

I am having a full day of Pastor Steven sermons! This one definitely hit home. I learn SOOO much from his teaching. So grateful I can find them on here and watch whenever and as often as I need to. Thank you Elevation Church!!!

Your a great inspiration for men of all generations. Keep up God's swag!!

Whooo AMEN!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I say this all the time, people need to disconnect from social media and stop looking, comparing and worrying about what everyone else is doing. Learn to enjoy your life, live in the moment and be happy and thankful for what you have! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏👏👏👏

Thank you Pastor Steven for this stupendous message. Your honesty is like a breath of fresh air. That is the reason I feel so encouraged and revived listening to you. Never do you portray a ' holier than thou' attitude. The Lord continue to annoint and bless you.

So on point as always. Thank you for sharing these videos Pastor Steve and Elevation Church. 🙌🏽❤️

The way he turns random daily occurrences into a meaningful sermon is so incredible

I always question human, i started listening to Steven because my wife, I started to look past him and listening to the message!! Last year I started a relationship with God not religion, 2019 my heart is full with the joy and faith that Christ is watching over my relationship with my wife and I

Joy is knowing the outcome of a problem that it's going to be victory no matter what... Even before the situation ends....

Thank you pastor🙏🏻 I love hearing the word of god. Please pray for me, I’ve been a really dark place for a long time. And I know, only god can heal me and filled my heart ❤️. I am a single mother of a 2 year old. Going through divorce. I just need a prayer. Thank you 🙏🏻

If he walked into the room I'd get a big hug I promise you that. Praise God

J.E.S.U.S!!!!! Such a profound and powerful, life changing word.... Thank you Pastor Furtick & Elevation.. You are such a blessing to me. 🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼❤️

I am just discovering Elevation Church and I must say the timing is perfect as I retrace my steps back to God.Your teachings are a blessing and are helping me through this season.God bless you

I really like this Pastor, he keeps my attention and I have taken so much from this message

This is too good! I've felt the same way, that the biblical relationship between joy and happiness is more complicated than most teach. Great message right here and exactly what I needed today.

Joy is knowing that the Lord's love is really there.

Powerful message ... Thank you for blessing me and sharing this with me ... This particular message resonated in my heart as it is my current struggle .God bless all those that are reading here ...

preach brother. love the message you send out on every video of yours. Very inspirational and uplifting.

He is smart for saying true joy does not come from your circumstances.

This hit so deep! I needed each of this words. Thank you God for Your unfailing word!!!

As always God's timing is perfect! God bless you Pastor!

LUV IT BRAVO SUPER NAILED IT! God is Master & Commander have Faith he will be all you need and pray for wisdom and guidance in all your trials and challenges

No matter what, or who, or when, or how, and how I'm feeling. Listening to the good LORD's WORD is always most comforting and not only to my ears, but to my soul and Spirit and not to mention my body which is The flesh and needs to be In check..

Wow! When our joy runs out, it determines the wrong place it was coming from.

I've learned through this sermon that God is my joy. The only place i will find everlasting joy!

You find who is really with you when you finally give it all to God and He gives you joy and happiness, just in his presence, and you choose to live life for God and all He calls me to and I act on that as priority #1! It hurts still.😢

Pastor Furtick, even though Alabama loss, we still won because you have one of our coaches

I needed this, "Joy is a focus before it's a feeling ".

The Joy of the Lord is our Strength..!!! Fruit of the spirit!!!

We get impatience when things don't go our way. What is it God may be trying to higher level with him. It is not good to stagnate in walk with God. The level he takes us to may be more joyous. I had leave a church a church I loved to go another, and there has been stumbling blocks thrown in the way. I have learn to get over them.

I’m from South Africa but I recently came to China to work and teach English here..I’ve been a Christian my whole life so it’s really difficult to be on a land that is barren with No Christ..The city that I’m living in doesn’t have any Churches ..in fact the Chinese government doesn’t want Christianity practiced here but every week I ensure I listen to your messages no matter how old or new it is..I am so inspired by everything that you say! I really do miss my sermons from back home and I really miss going to Church but this helps me so much..this message has truly touched me..there’s so much that I’m stressed and concerned about but you helped me realise that I should go back to my source and draw strength and Wisdom from Christ. Many Blessings To You Pastor. I hope that one day I will have the pleasure of coming to visit your church. It’s one of my goals.

Focus on the helpful things brings me joy.

Today I make the conscious decision to put you First and to help me flip the focus. Hebrews 12. 🙏🏾

I'm listening to him now. He is wise. God bless him.

Hallelujah praise the Lord From Kathmandu Nepal 💗💗

Where it comes from determines when it runs out!!! Love this!!

i’m sixteen and i was struggling with loneliness and sadness since 2 years, i was praying but nothing changed, sometimes i was feeling joy but it never lasted because it didn’t came from God. I prayed so hard to find joy but i realised that i was praying only for my feeling. I’m so thankful to God because i could listen this sermon today, it completely changed my vision. God bless u 🙏🏾

I HAVE BEEN LOOKINHG SO FAR FORWARD because im so anxious to get to where god has promised us ... THAT IM MISSING PRECIOUS MOMENTS WITH MY BABY BOY . Thank you !!

I was waiting for the recap of this one! Absolutely loved it. Made a specific section in my journal on "joy" just from this sermon. It's like a major weight has been lifted from my shoulders from this sermon alone. So good! Thanks for being God's vessel. I literally felt like God was speaking over my life with this message.

“Your Joy is whatever is before you”

That's so good ,that is what steals joy us looking too far ahead instead being focused in the moment

Your Wisdom at such a young age amazes me. God is really got his hand on you.😇

Hi everyone 🤗 I've been experiencing some medical problems for over a year now and it's getting really hard to keep joyful. It's also really hard to manage school as I'm a student. I'm humbly requesting prayer for my medical problem as well as my spiritual life. May God continue to bless each and every one of you!

Helping others brings joy too

Thank you Jesus for this desire in me of wanting more of you. You describe in your messages that desire I have and I am finding it is all in my priorities. I've been wanting God to just give it to me not wanting to have to WORK for it. I understand more that my the pain I've lived has not changed my mind about wanting more of God's grace has placed my priority on Him. I am giving myself to God, good and bad and finding JOY!
