Dear Lord, I pray for the person reading this right now. I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that they have came across this because they are in need of strength, protection, restoration, & love during this season of their life. I pray you give this person exactly that Lord God plus more. I pray you bless this person and send your angels to guide them out this storm. I pray at this moment, they feel your supernatural power come over them and fill them with the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus protect us from the wickedness and snares of the devil. In Jesus Name Amen.
Thank you so much, your prayer is so beautiful and full of warmth and comforting. Reading it is helping so much already! THANK YOU!!! You help others and give them hope and support. You are a wonderful person!
I'm trying so hard. I've been dealing with my spinal injuries for years, sent from one 16:36 Dr to the next. And through painful spinal injections.I have been praying for healing for 10 years and it's just continues to get worse. Please pray for healing for me as well as favor and blessings over my family including my 3 daughters, and especially my son who doesn't believe in the Lord, and has so many negative thoughts and feelings about the Word. I'm sorry for posting another comment. My family and myself have had such a tough year. I'm asking in good faith for prayer for all of these things, in this comment as well as the last. You (E FAM) are my church family, and I am in need of a miracle! And at the same time, I pray for protection over my daughter who just recently moved into her own place, 45 minutes away!! Thank you Pastor, Thank you church!! I appreciate all of you! ❤
*To anyone listening and reading this that is battling the devil and this world right now, keep your faith in GOD and keep fighting.The cloudy days make the sunny ones that much better.The more you are thankful,the more you attract things to be thankful for.*
Father, my heart is heavy. I feel like I have to carry all these burdens alone. 😓 Words like "overwhelmed", "distraught, "exhausted", "desperate" seem to describe where I am. All these unresolved problems and new problems... Idk how to let YOU carry my heavy load, so please show me how. 🙏 Take these from me, merciful Father. Let me rest and be refreshed so that my heart won't be so heavy every waking hour. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. 🙏
I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.✝🙏💖💖🙏🙏
That's awesome how God got your attention and saved your soul. It must be really hard being a Christian when you're in Iraq.😮 I pray God will give you the strength to be a warrior for Jesus Christ 🙏🏼🙏🏼
How truly amazing and awesome. I pray for protection and provision for you and your family. I have muslims friends that I pray will also see Jesus in me and want Him too
Pray for my father he is fighting drug addiction and mental illnesses. We need GOD to move in our house. In the mighty name of Jesus I thank the Lord our savior for his precious blood that was shed on Calvary’s cross and still in effect to this very moment
Praying for your father 🙏 just know there is hope. As I just celebrated my 26 months sober from drug and alcohol addiction. With God all things are possible 🙏🙏 ❤❤ Keep praying until the situation changes! 😊😊
Your dad needs a wellness recovery action plan. With God the facilitator. Give your dad love unconditionally . Each day is brand new and Jesus gives us hope each and every season.
Isaiah 43:18-19 18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.❤ C-OURAGE H-UMILITY A-WAKENING N-ECESSARY G-ROWTH E-DIFICATION the things we can change & the WISDOM to know the difference ❤ ☝🙏☝
I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if he’s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in God’s name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen ❤❤❤❤🙏😇
God healed me from cancer, I didn't know I had a purpose in my life. Now I and my house serve Jehovah until he calls us into his presence. Give him your life there is no other way, don't wear yourself out looking for a life outside of it. The world will only bring you destruction, I come from there.
Pastor Steven, God has, is and will continue to do his great work through you. He saved my life through you. He knows you will use his gifts wisely. Stop doubting your impact on people, you will never be a failure, You are filled and filled and filled again with Christ, you cannot fail. He has you all the way!!!!
Wow!!! Thank you Lord for speaking Thru Pastor Steven… I am calling my Mom today and I do see how I was hurt and angry because she didn’t want me help but I owe it to her to continue to help no matter how she acts to me 😢 Amen!!
You have a good sense of humor Pastor Furtick. Your sense of humor reminds me of my old church pastor who I miss very much, but your sense of humor and just how real you are reminds me so much of him: so thank you for that Steve.😄💖
This brought tears to my eyes. I havea mom who is 88 and she treated me so bad forever. I have carried so much weight. My sisters and brothers wouldn't even understand what I went through as the experiment of being the 1st child. But you have made me realize that I need to find the good in her... I will work on that and doing that will heal me and my relationship with my mom before she dies. I was not always the perfect daughter... far from it. Thank you Jesus for always rescuing me and for saving my soul. I just would ask for prayer for my mom because she has prayed but doesn't ever want to talk about the Lord. Author of confusion is at work. Please pray for her soul. I have tried to reach her with the Word of God but that is not my job any longer. I will just pray, forgive, see the good in her and thank her for the good. Thank you for being a good servant of our Lord. My daughter asked me to listen to you and now I use some of what you teach to teach a children's Sunday school class and I pass your words onto my grandchildren. PASS IT ON!!
Dear Debra, If your mom is 88 that means she came from a generation that is entirely foreign to us late Boomers, or any generation after ours. I got a glimpse of this from my family of origin. Feelings, or expression of any feelings was NOT ok. It was a sign of weakness, and a show of indignity. I think that your mom’s generation was permanently scarred by the Great Depression. I know my mom + her siblings were. I also feel that nutrition inadequacies, and undiagnosed, mild mental illnesses, like general depression, may have affected many in that generation, but even the idea of admitting that was unthinkable! I too, had a difficult time communicating with my mother. I realized she only wanted ‘small talk’, the weather, the latest headlines, etc. But I wanted to discuss the DEEP stuff. I should have met her where she was; I know her health was failing and it definitely affected her mind and way of perceiving and understanding things. I should have been much more tolerant rather than insist on my way all the time. My mom is long since passed, but I still have regrets that I just didn’t ‘meet her where she was.’ I know she was a Christian, although of a different denomination than I chose (another of our big communication blocks, and mostly due to my insistence on MY denomination’s superiority) so I look forward to the day we meet again with total peace, understanding, no demands, and no recriminations; nothing but joy and happiness!
Praise the Lord Saints! Let’s Pray for our country, our leaders and decision makers also the media. The folks suffering and missing in the wildfires In Jesus’ name Amen Brother Tony
I listen to this often as it helps me stay grounded and changes my perspective, what you focus on magnifies ! Puts my head in the correct place not irrelevant places ,Should teach this in schools more I try to put this wisdom to my children ❤ love this guy he’s so good at what he does ❤
To the 1% of people who see this comment, God’s not done with you. Don’t stop, be grateful for what you have, Mark 1: 35-45 is a story of how Jesus found a leopard and the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me.” And Jesus told the man, “ I am willing, be healed.” And the man was healed. I think we forget that God is willing to heal us, we just need to ask him.
daily first fruit God's word walking and talking to Jesus throughout the day building a relationship Jesus all things there after follows falls into place Amen 💖🙌
Thanks pastor. This is an eye opener for me. I've always been fighting with my partner. "Why can't she see what I want her to be?" Thanks for the light and revelation. God bless the ministry From RSA🇿🇦
Amen! I love you and Holly. You both are very inspiring. I share your sermons with about 15 people everytime you put one out. They are always what we need. I'm asking you to pray for my son that he gets a job soon.i don't want him to lose hope or faith. He's such a good person always willing to help anyone who needs him. Thank you so much. One day I pray I get to hear you preach in person. That's on my bucket list. Have a blessed day.❤🙏🏽🙌🏽😊
You reached me today. I am so upset with my Mom and pray everyday for our relationship to heal. I will work on focusing on the good not the bad. Great advice 😊
Hello! We are lifting you and your mom up in prayer and believing in God's restoration of your relationship! 🙏 We are so glad that God impacted you through this message. 🧡 ^SF Team
Past 9 months have been a hard pregnancy for us💔 and had some complications during my c section Nov 16, and our sweet baby boy was sent to the nicu and we live one hour away from the hospital where he been staying, it’s been very hard trying to find a baby sitter for our 3 year old bc he not allowed in the nicu due to it being flu season with the other sick babies around so we don’t get to see our newborn much his name is Kaizen Luke💙🙏 keep us in your prayers and hoping he can come home soon
Pastor this word spoke right into my heart it's like the good lord gives you the word to tell me I understand this in my life this word is a game changer for me I've always struggled with relationships I give and give they take and take I wish people came with warning labels God bless you ❤❤❤
My DEAR Pastor Steven, you and God are an amazingly inspirational team. I have LOVED hearing you preach for many years now, and stand in awe at your hilarious humor and whimsical wonderings, and the way you find delightful details in the Word of God and share and compare the old and new Testaments and bring it all together. YOU get better and better each and everyday. Thanks for magnifying your gift. You have such a beautiful "gift of gab". Thank you for dwelling in God’s Gracious Gifts (that will be the title of my book when I figure out how to get it all penned. God will provide!!! Haha). God bless you and your inspiring family as well. 🎵🙏🏼🤲
I love you so much Pastor Steven!! Your "Realness" speaks to me, your story telling & "octival voices" brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart.... and your annointed wisdom of God's Word, teaches me, convict's me, and prayerfully, corrects me by the power of the Holy Spirit. Im a slow learner... and more time's than not, my life has shown that I trip up much - b4 I come to grasp the Lord's truths. Thank you for making me hopeful.❤ God Bless you for your faithfulness in teaching God's Word.🙏🕊️🙏😘
Also... where can I purchase this sermon series on DVD or CD?? I can't seem to figure it out on your site. It doesn't come up "Focus" on sermons (?) Thank you!
Dear Steve This has to be one of your most special posts for 'me'. I am living in Mozambique.. (so you know where I am from) .. Talking about your Dad in such a beautiful personal way.. amazing to hear. I lost my husband and my Dad within 2 days of each other. But I can truly say, I was blessed with the best.. not a word was left unsaid of love and meaning .. but the emptiness of them gone is ''huge'' .. the caring of a loved one in pain.. there are no words.. I know I will see them again ❤ Thank you for ''all' your sermons/msg's.. I love the 'real-ness'.. the ''human-ness''.
This was exactly what I needed to hear today...the troubled waters that I am walking through at the moment truely is magnified from my perception and the power that I am feeding it...Thankyou for this clarity, today I see and understand why this is happenening to me... Thankyou Lord for your words & thankyou for using a great person to send out your word ♡ Sending Thanks & Love from Australia
Thank you! My husband & I, after 40+ yrs of marriage continue to have the same gosh darn argument. While it Looks different each time, it really comes down to the same issues. I’ve got to (I gotta😊) look deeper within myself. The question you suggested I ask God was perfect, which I’m going to paraphrase & not have it sound as perfect🙃), “God/Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit, what do you want me to look at & change within me, within Me.” Thank you. ~Therese from NY & VA
I remember attending this sermon with the title 'Fix Your Focus' and it blew my mind then. It is 7yrs now and the Word is still soo ALIVE 🔥🎉❤️ Every now and then I wanted to look for this and watch it again. Thank you! 🎉
Watching from Huntsville Arkansas! Love listening to God speak through you! Please pray that I get custody of my children back at the end of this month! God has changed my heart and my life, I just want to be a good mother and raise my girls ✝️🙏💜
Ronnie friedline from Oklahoma City, please pray today that i can be slow to anger in situations of this world that i simply can't control. Pray for growth, guidance, and acceptance.
Love this it really hit home with me today. I’ve lost a lot of love for myself through nearly 2 decades of military service. Compromise after compromise, I started to compromise myself value and values I believed I stood for. I don’t believe I have loved myself in a very long time. 😢. I’ve been on a rollercoaster of a faith journey the last 7 years. Dabbling and never fully giving myself to god
My name is James Clarke, I am from newfoundland, but live in British Columbia Canada , I would like to tell you that , you are a real , true preacher, you are Bible base , but have a true gift of helping change people, you helped me over the last three years. Remember the missing tribe , think why did all of a sudden they were gone , well they were hidden, and they suffered, but he is waking them up now , think about it , and pray on it and one day you and I will meet , love your brother , James Clarke...
Watching from Zimbabwe via Kenya. How I needed this today. I have been so focused on all the wrong my inlaws are doing to me here in Kenya. I am stuck here living with them with no other family members from Zim here. All the anger, regret that fills me now, I now see has weighed me down to being stagnant. It is time to stop living in it. To stop magnifying it. Thank you for this word today.
I'm listening from the Caribbean Island called Anguilla. I love your sermons, they give me hope for a better tomorrow ❤🙏🏽 May God continue to bless you 🙏🏽
How I wish I cld appreciate what my dad has done for me ,but I truly don't have anything to appreciate about him,accept I feel so hurt ,worthless ,hopeless each passing day,it's as if am not good enough truly am so lost 😢😢
I definitely shared. I means this clip has so many great points that I can apply to my life. I was sooo excited that I came across this sermon today. This blessed my soul this morning. While I share I am hoping that those whom I share it with get just as much out of it or more. Thank you for the word and your obedience to the Lord.
Often I am magnifying the wrong thing. I could focus on the wonderful things more. People try to get me to magnify the things that may not be important at all, atleast need to see the best with people not the worse. Be hopeful with faith. Amen 🙏
Pastor you’re simply amazing. Your words are touching so many people I appreciate you. God bless you and your family stay on it you’re touching so many God bless you sir.
Thank you so much for sharing this video I watched it from my phone to my tv. When I woke up for work this morning I felt weary about myself that I asked myself if moving was really worth it to be closer to my kids. The reason for my doubt within me is due to my recent divorce this past June 2023 that after seeing your video it has made me realize a lot about me. Thank you 🙏

Also my father was a pastor and a pedophile, imagine how easy it was to criticize and hate, but the calling was real, the conviction gripped the assembly at the end of his messages and the seats were almost empty at times , everyone,(including me) was at the alter. Where my life was changed and God was able to work..before and after this great man was destroyed because of this most serious error, he had genuine love in his heart and so many lives were touched..
Love this word! It spoke to me so cleat! Pastor Furtick is such an anointed man of GOD! I love to hear him preach. Thank you for this much needed word.
