I'm at work with a dying patient in her home. It's 3:30 a.m. 5 more hours to go. I love her and I am so sad. When this case ends I don't want to stay with my company. We've had a lot of different staff come and go here the past 2 years because she has been difficult and chased people away. She has always liked me and I've been here since day one when she came home from the hospital. We've had staff that do not clean up at the end of their shift and did not get better when the pandemic started. I am high risk because of multiple health issues including ESLD. I have reported this staff to my office on multiple occasions since February of this year. Instead of taking action against this staff the office singled me out as a troublemaker. They have taken hours away from me two times this year basically to shut me up. The patient's family fought for me to get all my hours back. I'm 63, have no college education, nothing saved for retirement and I don't know where to from here. My house is falling down around me literally, needing a lot of work inside and out. I fix what little I can. The major repairs I cannot do like a new roof or electrical stuff. I am exhausted all the time physically and mentally. 3 years ago I was cutting my grass and I ran over an electrical box in the yard that was flat. The corner of it came up and a piece broke off under the lawn mower which immediately stopped. My nephew was in the hospital dying and I had been praying for God to take me instead of him so he could see his two little girls grow up. When my lawn mower stopped I could see that box was filled with large electrical cables that I was told later take power to several blocks including mine. My nephew died shortly afterwards. He was 37 years old. I don't understand. As much as I've been abused in my life I know God has a plan for me. I get bullied by my job, a lot of family, and my neighbors. I live alone and sometimes it takes everything I have to stand up for myself. I feel beat down on a daily basis. My patient is sleeping right now and I ran across your message. I really needed to hear someone say that right now. Thank you very much and God bless you. Karen San Antonio
I’m going through a season of heartbreak but I know God is using this pain for a purpose. I can’t wait to see what Gods plan is for me In times of these struggles it’s important to press into the things of God. I am now closer to God than ever before because of this situation. And I have also decided to join my churches worship team as a keyboard. We never know the plans God has for us. But he will see us through
Me too and I only cried about it for a few days but it's been 3 months and I've actually been thanking him cause I've seen part of the reason I was heartbroken and I know there's more happiness than I could ever imagine in the near future
Shoot, I feel like God or the devil is trying to get me to talk to this girl for 6 years but I personally, DON’T LIKE HER. And I don’t feel ready to date again. I enjoy my singleness And even it is God, you’re gonna have to ask me in my late 20s 😂 I barely lived life
He prunes..... I just burst into tears because this hit so hard. That relationship that I thought was finally IT was removed from my life so I could find myself and focus on God
I'm going through that now. My boyfriend is a meth addict and keeps choosing his addiction over our relationship so I ended it. But it is tearing me apart. My ego I guess, that I'm not enough for him to choose me instead. I know leaving him is the right thing but it hurts so much. I'm scared to be without him yet relieved he will be gone. Crazy.
@@franceshoyt2107 I am going through the deep pain of a breakup from my boyfriend of 5 years. I know it wasn’t a perfect relationship but I didn’t realize how much I was being pulled away from God’s plan. I am heartbroken but I know God must have a better plan for me. That’s my prayer that God will show me a better and healthier relationship. I pray the same for you. 🙏🏽❤️
This is for me I'm so stressed out Nothing seems to be working out for my family and I but I still believe that we will be fine Please pray for me .I need the strength to get through this
The comments under this video has shown me that I am not alone in my pain. I woke up feeling like the worst person in the world and have lost almost everything important to me. But as I watched this sermon and read the comments, I found out that we are all going through something and we are all in this together. To anyone in a situation like me, always remember you are not alone. You are not alone. And everything happening now is temporary, nothing bad lasts forever. God bless
Husseina, Thank you for sharing that the sermon helped lessen your pain and was able to bless you! You are chosen as a child of God and we are so grateful to have you part of the eFam! Deuteronomy 31:6 Is a good verse to reference, it confirms that you should be courageous and know you are not alone, since the Lord God is always with you. Blessings, 🧡 ^SF Team
Struggling with depression, confusion & serious 💔 heartache. Prayers are greatly appreciated... THANK YOU FOR SUCH WONDERFUL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT Pastor Steven!
Somebody please pray for my life, i'm struggling with everything, car, money, house, and my fiancee. Things are all messed up. and i just need a word from God. Jesus please get me out. Amen thank you in advance.
To Sophia Gizmo.. We all as Christians go through hard tines. God never said thst we will have a life full of roses. He said when u follow me u will have hard tines persection and just sufferings. As when we get these u are meant to rejoice and thank God. As through then times there is God. God dont come to us in a perfect rose filled rosy life.. He comes to us when we are in hard times i the valley say thank u to God for the hard tines and ask him to make u a better person through it. Don't let the devil tske God away by saying Gid isn't with u or for u. The devil is a liar as God never ever told us our life would be void of problems or hardships. So it is normal for us Christians. My husband has been like the devil to me for the last 4 and half yrs. He is a christian also. He has been horrible ugly and very very wicked to me.. He has hurt hurt and hurt me over n over as tho he is meant to. Do this. So believe me when I say we will go through trials tests and afflictions. N God will have to put our flesh on the cross as we not meant to be in the physical but in the flesh. So he will cut off the branches thst are not going where u are going. We have to trust God. It hard yes. Very. I have wamted to give up as my hubby is meant to just love me. But he has been so wicked it is unreal. I do not know how I am still. Standing. Go to God. Ask him to search your heart get the rubbish out n let the good in
This is a beautiful sermon. I just got out of a toxic relationship, at least I thought it was toxic. I know realise I was the toxic one when the person was reaching, I closed myself off and thought no reaction was a reaction and that would speak volumes. We now broke it off and I realise I have mayor abandonment issues that come from my father, who was never in my life and only recently we started reconnecting. I have a lot of hurt, from the relationship and my father. I don't know how to process, I have prayed and I just feel alone. I know I should cherish my singleness but I want to be in partnership and relationship with someone.
Today my youngest daughter came to visit with me, that in itself is a miracle. She was so happy and excited to be alive. I haven't seen the light in her for a few yrs now. Her birthday is in 6 days. She will be 29 yrs old and neither not myself thought she would make it this far. She posted on FB page how happy to have made it this far. Even after losing her sister, who was a mother to her during the yrs that I was not. She expressed her gratitude for having kala in her life. She also shared some of the hardship she went threw when I was not being a mother figure at all for her. It hurt to hear it come from her how she felt about not having. A Mother at a young age of 11 into her teenage yrs and I'm not her becoming a beautiful young lady. And she gave kala, her sister, who is no longer with us, all the credit which she deserved. It opened my eyes tothe opportunity that God is giving us now to reconnect. It's starting to make some sense to me why things are and why kala was called home. She needed to be at peace and that was not going to happen here in her life time. So she did her job and when her sisters where able to take care of themselves, she was able to rest. Thank God we had her as long As we did.
Thank you Lord, the Holy Spirit gave me the word "pruning" weeks ago and now this message confirmed it. God is good and he is moving on this season. Be Blessed everyone, IT IS WELL
For some reason, usually i get lost sometimes. And often times my lost moments take me back to steve's preaching. And at that particular time, whichever of his preachings i choose to listen to, they are my message for that particular time. Truly grateful that God uses him as a vessel.
Thanks be to my father for removing what is no longer what I am from me and in doing so is creating a clean renewed soul ready to blossom in the love of God
He's our comforter! I don't know who and where you are but I prayed for something last night and she'd a few tears and he comforted me and helped me today and am blessed to know his NAME!! Whatever it is don't give up hope and faith of God our Lord he's watching you, he loves you and he wants you to be happy and he knows what'll make you happy! Trust him! He won't disappoint!
I have been in emotional pain the last two days. Dealing some losses in my life that may seem trivial to some. I’m the midst of my pain it’s like I could see the spiritual battle be waged. Satan, wanting me to reject God and God trying to say I am here in the storm. I remember Steven’s message about satan will attack what is valuable and it gave me courage that I am on the right path. It just sucks during the pruning.
Even now when EVERYTHING aid going wrong I KNOW MY GOD IS WITH ME!!! I am confused and nothing makes sense but I KNOW HE WILL LEAD ME OUT! ALL THE GLORY IS GIVEN TO GOD i am nothing without him! More of him less of me!
AMEN! LORD sends comfort through all the things HE can to reach our hearts! Thank you JESUS! Give me strength LORD, to be still and praise you in this season!
I know everything has a reason No matter what it is or what it seems.. the good the bad All of the seasons WILL BENEFIT ME NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON.. I will grow with the bad and good.. Amen 🙏
Amen! It seems like every video I click on from Pastor Furtick is exactly what I’m needing to hear at the time. Going through a lot in this season while dealing with taking losses. But I believe God is still working on behalf!🙏🏽🙏🏽 I will stay strong through the pruning, it’s necessary
The proof of His love is definitely in the pruning!!! My Lord is showing me His love by removing what no longer grows fruitful in my life.....APOKARADOKIA....PRUNE ME FOR MY GOOD!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It seems that for one reason or the other I lose the things that mean the most to me. I believe in a relationship with my Lord a savior I am far from perfect and I am trying so hard to keep the faith that God has better for me
This message belongs to me. I have a friend that i care about honestly who told me the most hurtful things anyone ever told me for the longest while. So i do believe God let it happen like that for a reason. Trusting God for the best even though it hurts like crazy.
Great message for me! Thank YOU JESUS for always with me. I have a FATHER WHO NEVER leaves me nor forsake me. Hallelujah!!!! God Almighty bless and strengthen you Pastor Steven. You are a blessing sir.
My life is on pause right now due to domestic violence.. I just love being able to go to RU-vid and hear you preach it pastor your awesome and when I start feeling down or the enemy is telling me lies I just get reminded by the word of God that our father is in control and my faith stays strong AMEN.... THANK YOU pastor 🙏
The past seven months and especially last five weeks have been the most difficult season of my life. God has been doing a lot of pruning in my life (and I feel the pain), but I know that He wants to use it for His glory and purposes.
At work and just truly feel the power of God through this message. BYOM! ...WOW. I have a preteen and I question my parenting, but now I know..lol ..hes just being who he was meant to be. Its his season. Lord, help me to find peace even in the midst of my chaos. I love you, lord
Jesus Christ healed me! This is my story about my healing!I was extremely ill! I had diabetes and kidney failure, which urgently requires dialysis! I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!
This video is a month old and I just came across it.I have been going through some rough times and I prayed for the pruning of God in my life and I'm no more close with certain people.Just today this memory verse "You meant it for evil but the lord meant it for good" keeps popping up in my head which encourages me.I know this season I'm going through is for a purpose . Anyone going through difficult hurtful times,may God heal and guide you through it all🙏
Lord I Thank you this morning for allowing discerning to come across RU-vid thank you for being obedient to the holy spirit for sending it I needed to hear this because you are talking to me I thank God for the Holy Spirit because that's just the way I felt I thank you thank God for you I'm grateful grateful love always. I'm connecting from Houston Texas I was talking and asking the Lord about me getting on the right track because I didn't understand this. Amen
Amen Pastor!!! You are amazing!! Thank you for this message. I needed it SO badly. I need prayers. My four babies and I have lost so many family memebers because of their worldy ways. I just cant. I can and will raise BETTER kids. They have hearts of gold and LOVE everyone!! Just like Jesus does!
I few minutes ago, I cried out to God that I was feeling so beaten down & discouraged with the circumstances I'm going thru & your message just popped up on my RU-vid suggestions list. This was God bringing me this message I desperately needed to hear. Thank you so much Stephen Furtick for allowing God to use you as His messenger! I receive it in Jesus Name! Amen! 🙏😇
Dear God: thank you for reminding me that you are the Father that prunes. You prepare our way & are in total control of our lives. Please forgive our sins & bless all we love & are very greatful for. Thank for all the blessings in this life...to you we give the glory. Amen!
I needed to hear this today thank you😊🙏💜👍He is taking someone who is toxic but I still love out of my life to show me how strong I am. He is teaching me to love myself more. God is teaching me to trust the process and in his love.
2020 has not been so much about monetary loos for me but relational and emotion loss and hurt. I asked God to take over and he did. He removed people that were not meant to go where He wants to take me. Even family has left my life or disappeared. But through prayer God gave me peace knowing He removed them and broke the connections. God has been restoring my soul this year by getting my in a still quite place alone with HIM. I just want to encourage anyone feeling alone that it may be because God is doing wonderful works in your life even though it may be painful. Just keep praying, worshiping and being faithful because the restoration is so fulfilling.
This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I don’t know why everything that has happened this year has happened but it is not my job to know. Thank you God as I look to the future and I know that your promises for my life are so great. God is in control of my life even in the hard times. We grow through what we go through. I pray for everyone going through a tough time and I pray that you make it through and that God’s strength and perfect peace will be with you all. 💕
@@pastorstevenfurtick9104 who are are? Some of the things u said definitely sounded like what’s going on in my life thanks for the prayer. So what should I do and how r u able to receive revelation on other people
Dear Pastor ....man of God, this Word you brought was annointed to the max , for a season such as now in my life hitting every spot...bless you and your household.
Lord, let us learn how to sow the good Word of God in our own lives and in the lives of others. May we cease to sow the seeds of sin. May we awaken to the fact that you are not mocked, but we shall reap what we sow in life. Amen.
God is cutting off the dead fruit and enhancing the seeds of the fruit so it can flourish. He is not doing anything to hurt me, he is doing it to enhance my inner being. I can’t keep misinterpreting the pain in this season. God brought Jesus from his pain, so he will also use him to bring us out of our own! I am in control of the meaning but God is in control of the plan. I have to think highly so that the meaning is positive.
I’ve lost a few opportunities in the last 2 months that left me quite broken but I know that my joy will greatly outweigh my pain, This is exactly what I needed
Thank you Lord the Vine dresser 🙌🏾 for the pruning and the cuttings in my life. There's soooo much fruit coming up!🥳! After so much pruning in my life🙌🏾
Thanks for all the amazing and wonderful message you bring us. Amen from Gerhardt Luus (south africa) You are truly an inspiration to the whole world. Thank you God for speaking to us through such an awesome man. Keep up the great work. Amrn
