For the past 2 days I've literally been in tears, angry, even telling God how much I can't believe He would allow me to hurt and go through this devastating turn of events ALONE with NO FAMILY, NO FRIENDS, and NO RESOURCES if He truly loved me. FROM START TO FINISH I KNOW THIS WAS FOR ME. My own thoughts have been EXACTLY that. If ONLY YOU HAD BEEN HERE LORD... but the beautiful thing is HE IS HERE. Through messages like this when I think it's the darkest part of my existence, HE SHOWS UP. Forgive me Father, I do not understand but please give me the faith to fall into you as I've fallen into others. Give me the desire to chase you down even in the darkest of storms. I hurt so deeply because I trusted people to do what only YOU can. Thank you for finally catching me after chasing me down for so long... you are a patient loving God.
💔🌏💔😢 i feel just like u... thank u somehow reading this made me feel god wanted me to. iam to sorry god... i pray for faith for strenght i pray better days. i pray for my son my sons this world we live in ..
Jenarize lunaMoon Praise His name for leading you here! It's a journey and I promise you, it's hard, but seeking God is the most POWERFUL and BEAUTIFUL thing I've ever done. I pray for your peace and I speak HEALING over your life. God hears you. I've seen things unfold and I promise you Jesus is REVEALING Himself in my EVERY DAY LIFE in ways I've never experienced. You're on the right path. ❤️

"if you don't learn to process your disappointments in his presence, you'll process them somewhere else that isn't safe" this quote litterally knocked the air outta me I'm only 18 and I've dealt with depression, anxiety, anorexia,self harm, and a lot of suicide attempts and have been in the hospital 4 times. This could not be truer and I'm glad I have God in my life to turn to for help.
Keep chasing god even in the midst of darkness. I've been there I feel you, until god caught me in my darkness held me where I am only breathing on his words and worship song everyday of my life. Stevens messages are what keep me going
Amen this speaks so strongly to my heart!!! Thanks God for all the great right on time sermons I see breakthrough all over Earth in millions of ways in my eyes of faith!!!!
I have been dealing with depression and I have just been in such a CLOUDY and LONELY season.. but I do believe that in the midst of my suffering I found Jesus all over again.. I was in a relationship and I lost myself as well as Jesus.. He broke my heart, which led me back to Jesus... I felt so betrayed, dumb, sad, wanting to sleep and never wake up again.. but I called out to Jesus and I have been taking it day by day. I am still hurting and sometimes I feel hopeless but I know that Jesus is teaching me a lesson.. but I will not give up on Jesus and myself ever again... I love Jesus.
I saw your comment after I prayed to God. We have the same situation. I'm tired of living. Wanting to sleep and never waking up again. Suicidal thoughts 😭
Feels good to not be alone on this.. ): I know we got this, keep praying, do NOT give up. We don’t know why this is happening to us but time will tell, we just have to be patient. Jeremiah 29:11
Lord I need you more then anything . I need prayer for me and my kids my husband we going thru things I always lose a job I can’t handle this anymore I need prayers So I can be blessed please and thank you
God is faithful, i know exactly how you're feeling. Continue trusting Him, it's never too late, He will come through. I pray God gives you and your husband peace that is beyond human understanding. He loves you
Karla Yanes hey hun just wanted to share with u my story so that maybe it might help u, or inspire u to think differently. I use to loose so many jobs back in the day, and I couldn’t understand y, which lead me always having lots of anxiety and fear daily at my job. I was so nervous That I would fail yet again at another job and be in a state of panic with bills and set behind. It had me at work on egg shells doubting myself with every move I made. I was so broken and tired of getting fired because I was on time and worked extremely hard, but there was always something that happened that caused me to lose my job. So when i finally came to the conclusion that I wasn’t doing something right, and prayed about it, I eventually took responsibility for my actions and excepted I had not learned the lessons GOD was showing me that I needed to change in me when it came to my work ethic, so I vowed and prayed for the consistency and maturity mentally to handle my job with confidence and humbleness. Your lost jobs are all lessons and just look back and gather the lessons u should of learned from each loss and change the outcome !!!!if ur consistently losing jobs, there has got to be a reason, pray to GOD for the understanding of ur own actions and for him to work through u and give u strength to do better and think better, ur outcome on jobs with change because it did for me. Don’t lose sight of GOD no matter how hard ur situation has become! The only way You can fail is if you give up. Take care
Been there too! God is so good and faithful. He will come thru. At the end you will know Him greater and trust Him more. He WILL COME THRU. I declare that by faith, I stand in faith for you! Blessings are coming. Wait. Trust. Wait. Trust. See His glory!
Wow this sermon stopped me in my tracks. I needed this. My nana passed away 7 months ago. My faith is so much stronger now than it has ever been. That’s what God did for me
My family and I have had a hard last 12 months. I am working 2 jobs and still having a hard time making ends meet. Please pray my wife can find a teaching job soon!! I am tired mentally and physically!! Even though I can't see A way out I choose to believe God is working behind the scenes for our good!!
That part. 13.20 "IDK who that was for" That was for me. Thank you Jesus but also thank you for your obedience to God and allowing him to use you for me. -BRI
I am going to worship no matter what. In my life, in my bloodline, there will be glory. I wait like Mary, praying and worshiping without ceasing. 🙌🏾🙏🏾💃🏽👏🏾💕
sometimes your greatest faith is build in the absence of your feeling and your greastest wisdom is built in the absence of your understanding …. OHH GLORIA!
Wow! I have been mad at my mom for not being the kind of mother I thought I deserved but thank You Jesus for being there for me when she wasn’t and still isn’t.
Listening to this during many disappointments.....I will give you praise in anyway My Lord knowing and believing all will be good at the end of the day.
2:40 “that’s what we always do to God when we are disappointed , we put him in the distance” “ what do you do when God leaves you on read, when he listens to your prayer but does nothing about it” So true 😩🙈I’m guilty sometimes
Thank you Lord for giving me the greatest wisdom in what I thought was your absence. Your powerful presence has always been there. I wait upon you, with exceedingly Joy.
Thank you Pastor! Your message is reaching my 17 yr old son, and he is being transformed. We attended live in Charlotte 2 weeks ago and he is forever changed. I couldn’t reach him, but you can. Thank you so much Pastor Steven. 🙏🏻✝️
Amen Steven speaks straight to my heart! Thanks Jesus for working in and through the Furtick family to teach guide and lead us to the truth of the living word! Thanks Steven God Bless all of you watching online tv and all around the world! Thank you for saving us God!
I lost my mom last year and my 6 figure income in May. I'm riddled with anxiety everyday. I landed a teaching job in August and I'm so happy God put me with children again! My income is significantly less, but I'm happier. I'm learning my "new normal". I'm also a widow with a little boy to raise. Your preaching has carried me at times when I felt like quitting. Thank you!!
I’m feeling this way. God, where are you? I need God in all things. God healed me. I couldn’t believe it. My mindset is on a different level. I don’t think like most people.
Oh how I love how pastor Steve Furtick dissects every verse down so we can understand it more and get that ahha moment. Thank you pastor for this word and all your wonderful sermons, I learn so much of the bible thru you because of how you explain it. There are moments like OMG I didn't even think about it like that. God bless you and your ministry ❤
The reason why God often speaks subliminally is so that mankind will pursue his Word more than the distractions around his Word. "And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
Thank you Jesus for choosing me to bring all the restoration in my family's life and loved ones and anointing me to begin the generational Blessings that were promised to my ancestors. Glory be to God. HALLELUJAH 😇 @Official Steven Furtrick God bless you for the work you are doing, am from Kenya. See you soon Godwiling to continue doing God's work.
There is only so much that others can do. quit being mad at people because they cant give you what only God has and quit pushing people out of your life because they can't be everything to you, only God can be everything to you. This really stood out to me. 🙌🙌
I really love the story of Lazarus and the way you broke it down, pastor Furtick! It’s truly a story of belief!! I am working on believing God and what God says the FIRST time God says it and not a moment before!! Christ said that Lazarus would not die. True to the word of God, Lazarus did not truly die the way they thought he would die AND NEVER RISE AGAIN. Christ outperformed and raised Lazarus from the dead using faith!! Belief is more important to God than a promise made. Glory to God!!! A God that never goes back on His Word!! God’s Word is bond. God is not a man that he should lie!!!
How can I know He’s forgiven me? How can I know He still loves me and hasn’t left me? I was hype for Him and was active in church then things got crazy and my faith snapped and I had unbelief. I’d still call on Jesus at my lowest but since then it’s been different.
Functionally Late: Showing up in thee appropriated time when the darkness engulfs the light... When those who have lost hope the time that has been appointed he will show the divine. ❣
I Loved People Too Much! And God Let me Know! It was Not Pretty or Easy! But God is The Only Way! You Must Love Him First.. And He is RIGHT HERE..Waiting For You All the Time! We must give up our Idols!
Never felt a message speak so deeply to me, in a time of my life I feel in one of the most weakest points in my life in every way !! Please pray for me
Just today when I woke up in was asking of where God is that I am going through all this, am asking you all to pray for me, for God to hear me and answer my prayer...
Praise the Lord. Thank you pastor for this message, in a time when unexpected events have occured. Listening to you pastor furtick, has fanned the flame of the Spirit inside me and has made me want to return to full time ministry. I thank God for you and please pray that he helps show me the way reenter full time. ministry.
Going through things with my kids. God says it has it but my eyes see chaos. I keep reminding myself of this you speak of but my heart hurts because it is my kids. My head hurts from all the phone calls and text. Pray for my kids please. I need some peace.
God is always 🙌 with me and the rest of my family members are so negative and I always go to God to help me keep my strength always and forever I love God
Wow! I never heard it preached this way before. Proof positive that the more I read and study The Scriptures, the deeper my understanding which leads to "hunger and thirst" for another level of understanding through the Holy Spirit. Only a Good God🙌🙏.
