Wow, Stephen! We're praising God for how He has been moving in your life. Our team would love to hear your story if you'd like to share it with us: eFam@elevationchurch.online
Hello fellow believers in Christ, my name is Christian. I ask all of you to please pray for my Chanessa, she is 17 years old and sick, she doesn't eat, she has gone through so much and her soul is tired, you can see it in her eyes. She is struggling to move out of her abusive parents house, she works three jobs, pays for school, the medical bills and therapy is drowning her in debt. All this whilst living plainly on energy drinks. Im scared that one day im gonna wake up and get a call that she pasted away somehow. If your still reading this please take a moment to pray for her, pray that the good Lord shows Himself to her, shows her that He loves her and that He died for her, i beg you! please pray for her salvation and a healing over her soul. God bless
For anyone who’s feeling down: Romans 8:18 “The pain you’ve been feeling can’t compare to the joy that is coming!” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Whatever is going on right now, have faith, your situation will get better. :) Jesus bless anyone reading this and have a great day!!🥰✨💖
REPEAT AFTER ME: "My assignment from God is not done. I am not submitting it early. I will do it right on time. I will still fight. I will still sing. I will glorify the Lord with all my heart. It is not over yet. God says you haven't missed the due date. You are right on time. Keep going. You are still right on time. " Thank you for this message Pastor Steven. I will keep working on my assignment from God.
Jesus wore a Crown of Thorns towards the Cross and died on His cross and wore the Crown of Thorns for us, His GRACE IS Sufficient for us Jesus IS enough🙏🏻 Oh dear, How I need HIM, therefore to be the center of my life, where would I be without HIM
Thank you Jesus for confirmation & thx Pastor Furtick for your obedience. This message was MIGHTY RICH!! THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR GRACE 🙌🏾🙌🏾 THERE'S NO SHORTAGE 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I called upon God so many time when I was in Highschool but He never answered me, my parents did the same but still the same . During that time I grew my Thorn. I was walking in faith though I was broken inside. Since pandemic my faith in God has grown so much, I now understand why He still kept me going because my assignments are not done and His grace is sufficient in my life. Let your will be done God🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have been pretty grief conscious these past few days. My thorns are heavy. Lord please give me grace! Thank You Pastor Furtick! Your teachings have been hitting hard these past few months. I've been binging on older sermons too. It's been life changing! Many thanks from Tampa Florida
@@lucymukawe8723 I met someone yesterday that reminded me my thorns aren't that bad. She lost everything and was homeless. This woman didn't even have shoes on her feet.
I love this pastors message... EVERYTIME I listen to him... I hear exactly what I need to hear at that time for what I'm dealing with in my life.... Amazing words of motivation... Ty steven furtick!!!
Hey there, Amanda! Thank you for being a part of our precious eFam & sharing with us how this message has blessed & encouraged you. Do share with us your favorite takeaway from this message. We'd love to know. Jesus loves you! 🧡
I find strength and reason eveytime I tune to Elevation. I got to experience what it feels like to be apart of a family that supports and appreciates me thank you💜💜💜💜
With every day that passes, I am so close to going HOME to HEAVEN! I’m so thankful that Jesus paid a debt that I could NEVER have paid. Thank you, GOD my Father… for Pastors like Pastor Steven Furtick who continue to preach the whole word of Almighty God, and Jesus who paid my sin debt, one that I never could have paid. I’m looking forward to going HOME to Heaven!!! I LOVE ❤️ YOU, FATHER GOD, and I TRUST YOUR HOLY WORD, THE BIBLE!!! I’m your Daughter!!!
Even completely heartbroken HIS GRACE is sufficient. Though I praise him through my tears, yet will I praise Him. Though I praise Him through my pain, yet will I praise Him. This…. Was an on time word for me and encouragement to my discouragement. Even though there is an abundance of thorns He is my Rose of Sharon and a storehouse FULL of Grace. His Grace is SUFFICIENT and on Monday October 4, 2021 I choose to cover my situation with GOD’S GRACE. God forgive me for harboring hurt and “allowing” the thorns to get bigger. 😭❤️
God is always so timely with a word! Literally walking through this right now. Trying to get rid of my thorn not realizing it’s what keeps me humble before God, for He has already been so good to me ❤🙏🏻
Pastor Steven Im going to be honest i didnt understand your sermon last week, today i the Holy Spirit Blew me way, Thank you Holy Spirit for teaching me and helping me understand. Thank you pastor Steven for this word "When you give God Glory it releases Grace" (thats Powerful- It HIT me). I was in tears by the end of the sermon and i couldnt put my pen down. love you God, there is none like you.🙏♥
39:23...What Paul COULD have said....is what "I SAY!"...thank you Jesus,thank you Father for sending your Holy Spirit and speaking through Pastor Steve for this lesson.
This message really got me today. The reminder there is no shortage of grace was a powerful statement that made me look at things differently. I pray everyday but sometimes when there is no response it makes us wonder why, but we just have to remember God always has room for us! Amen!
This message is timely over the past 2 weeks I have been battling with offense from those clsest to me. I keep praying for nothing to settle in my heart..forgiveness is a must I am not having any issues with my fole but yhe hurt is deep. I can go through life like it doesnt matter but this time is different. I feel like God is challenging me tomo e diffetent. Its not ok foe people to teeat me like I have not feelings, however dead men dont bleed. So Im numb and not feeling anything. Until Im sure of what to do I will do nothing. Surely He will lead me through the path of righteousness. God be glorified!
@@jeritraylor157 I’m learning and experiencing that it’s only the opinion of God that matters. God loves all of us like the sun shines on the evil and good in us. God heals is. Pure love is what we reflect from our Source. 🧡 We are all blessed.
@@jeritraylor157 I have been experiencing something very similar to what you have said the past year. I am unable to talk to them until now due to all the trauma. I am not angry at them but I am hurt and feeling a bit lost but God is pulling my hand. God helped me. God saved my life when I have wanted to throw it away many times. I became a Christian when He saved me from myself.
You know what, I have been asked what did you like about the sermon before, but I tell yeah the truth it's not just about the sermon but it's about the encouragement that each sermon brings and I appreciate that.
Wow! This speaks volumes on my situation, as did last weeks! It helped me to keep faith in my relationship of 11 years with my unbelievabling spouse! I'm recently saved and it's been a tremendously difficult transition for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless!
A very timely and relative sermon. Pastor, you were completely on Fire this morning with God's Word! Thank you for all you do and Happy Pastor Appreciation Day!
@@elevationchurch I almost watched this live on Sunday but was too tired as I'm in the UK, so I went to bed and since then 3x this sermon has popped up on my fb feed and twice I've ignored it, the Lord knows I ignored it, but today when it popped up again I said to my cat, we need to watch this, the good lord wants us to watch this... and as always Gods timing is perfect. 10yrs I've suffered with severe depression and for 5 of those years the more I read and study Gods word the more principalities have attacked me, but with Gods Grace I fight on .. and will not quit .. Please thank Pastor Steve for yet another wonderful sermon. Thank you x
It's been a week i wake up to this heavy feeling, scared to face the day because i keep thinking how im about to fail at my job and i keep thinking maybe im not good enough, afraid to let people down. These are some of my thorns. Just like pastor steven said, The more thorn your dealing with the more grace to expect! Thank you for this message! ~ 😭🫂💖
You wouldn't be where you are if you couldn't handle it just like pastor Steven. He can bring us the word. Its not even because your enough. Its because Gods enough. Apart from him we can do nothing right. 💚❤✌💚❤ much love y'all
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Love this church, Love our Pastor. Every single sermon is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good and I learn so much. Today's sermon was AMAZING 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉
