Praise report for everyone. Pastor Furtick, thanks for the message. My wife and I have been married for almost 8 years now and for the first five years we tried and tried to conceive. But with the female issues that my wife suffered, from the doctors(after several rounds of fertility treatments and lots of heartbreak) told her that she would never be able to have a child. Now her dad is our Pastor at church and for as long as we have been together they have diligently prayed for her to have her hearts desire. But, for some reason it never happened, and she finally made peace with the fact that she would never have a child of her own. Two years ago, she was hit with a rare neurological movement and functional disorder that took us back and forth from Louisiana to Minnesota to the Mayo Clinic. God blessed us with the opportunity to go there and after five different hospitals here across the South, we were able to finally get a diagnosis after four months of scary wondering. Long story short. Today her seizures and body tremors are less than they were two years ago. She went three weeks ago to have a check up due to have some issues that she thought was the onset of early menopause, only to find out that she is about 3 months pregnant. Praise God. Now she is almost four months along and the doctors have said that they think she is through the window of time that would be troublesome for her to carry full term. Thank God for the gift of life and love. She is going to be the most loving mother a child could ask for. God Bless all and believe, God will give you the desires of your heart when you are ready for them, not when you want them.
Please pray for my health. I was in a car accident in 2006 and since then I have been in pain every day of my life. I had to learn how to walk again, but I need to talk care of my blind, disabled Mom. The pain is becoming unbearable. She is counting on me, and I have to honor her and take care of her. I just want to be healed and pain free.
If you can get in touch with me we can support each other through I used to be in a wheelchair I had to walk through the pain I have chronic pain and I have to have pain management

I thought I was an invincible firefighter and I had a bad relationship with God. Then 2 years ago I had a nervous breakdown from cumulative stress and PTSD. God got my attention. Death felt like it would be a relief from the anxiety and depression. I found God and I will never let Him go again. And I also found Steven and have been listening for the past 2 years. Thank you. God is good. Life is good. We grow from our struggles.
Asking Prayers for my mom Sonia Arechiga who is in ICU on a ventilator due to COVID. I asked that her lungs and kidneys be healed and restored! In Jesus name!
This sermon really touched my heart, todays my sisters birthday she committed suicide a few years back, I rebuke the spirit of suicide and depression and I'm holding on and fighting to end this generational curse I pray that God helps us all
My heart and prayers are with you, Priscilla. May God comfort and guard your heart with His Peace. I stand in agreement with you and declare that The Blood of JESUS has broken the curse of suicide and depression over you and your family. The Blood of Jesus speaks Life and Destiny over you and your family. His Love and Promises are unfailing. Keep holding on to Him and He will carry you through. 💖💕💖💕💖
This is not the end for you, by any means. I believe and declare that your latter days will be better than your former days, God is bringing you out using. *ALL* experiences you've had to shape your testimony to touch others in their struggle.
Thank you for bringing your pain to the place where you can receive comfort and understanding- this event is difficult to share - it can stick to you- you are free to do that here-free indeed- God knows your sister and her circumstances and loves her regardless- He recognizes and welcomes those who aren’t well- you will never be held accountable for your sister. Rather He will hold you. You will please Him as you honor her life. The Holy Spirit walks with you- whether you call Him to or not- but when you cry out to Him He will surround you! He pours His power and wisdom into you when you invite Him. He cares.
I struggle with depression anxiety really bad my name is donnie heddlesten and I'm getting closer to God and watching you gives me faith gives me hope please keep me in your prayers as I'm starting to get closer to God thank you for every thing you preach it touches me more than ever
Find 5 things (e.g. listening to your favourite song that brings you joy) to do that make you happy for 5 minutes everytime you get an onset anxiousness or overwhelming sadness! Sending you light and love!❤
Amen. I've been in depression for a few years. These sermons are helping to lift me outta it. I thank God for the messages he's sending to us, when we need it. On Gods time🙏 God knew how to get through to us. Steven, elevation church❣️ We are BLESSED 🙏✝️
I went thru a separation and was abused badly. I felt so small and unwanted. I almost lost my life to an overdose on pills. I wasn't aware that I was taking to much because I just wanted the pain of my physical and mental problems to go away. Thank God for showing me which way or direction I needed to go. Going on 2 months sober and feel so much better with the right medicine I need God, music, and anti depressive. Thank God and you.
Thank you for reminding me the small things are recognised it’s easy to think it’s all for nothing the devils right there telling you it’s pointless it’s not worth it but get behind me Satan I may be small but with God I am mighty 💪🏼 praise the Lord for He is good His love endures forever 🙏🏻
I pray God heals your heart and allows you to see the reasoning for the heart break I pray it makes your strong in the spirit and in life, I pray he gives you peace and joy even though your hurting .
God lead me to tell you be strong and courageous which is a command. He is with you and for you. We are proud of you and it will all work out for a great testimony. 🥰
Starke, florida!!! Country life proudly born and raised!! Those who don't know please look it up! Jesus has opened my eyes and shown me what his blessing can do! He saved me, saved my family and I will continue to praise and SPREAD his message!
I have wept like a little child with this message. I know He holds my heart and listening to the end prayer reminds me life is worth living. Please pray for God to heal my PTSD and to guard me from those who seek to hurt me.
I am here. I feel pretty insignificant. I am too fragile. I am scared to death to waste my life. It feels like I missed my turning point and now I am lost, going in circles. It's hard to believe there's a David. You give me hope. Thank you. God bless you. You are in my prayers as well.
This is actually awesome bc God is gonna turn all this to our good for His Glory! Faith over fear!! Praise God He's already working on our behalf and we don't even see it or feel it!! Thank you Lord 🙏🙏🙏
the part that stuck out to me that filled me happy was when Steven said the thoughts about small things you focus on wastes time when you can focus on the biggest thing which is god. this will help me when I'm tempted to bad things such as lust of the flesh
Please pray I won't fill the places God has emptied with something that is familiar, but will have discernment for the right path, right thing, right attitude to take. Thanks
Im just so amazed with God everyday. He's freaking awesome...and it's just perfect how you get every message and have the gift to teach it to the WORLD!!!
I needed this because I was struggling with losing my job recently. What I thought was my perfect job, perfect company. I kept thinking and asking "why?" "what did I do wrong Lord?" Inconsolable and mounting fears. Some real and many imagined. But this sermon helps me put things in perspective. So thank you Pastor Furtick for preaching God's word.
"what you call small",I have this experience day before y esterday,it was I was really worried about my english speaking skills...my mother tongue is Tamil,I had to attend a meeting with a foreign lady in zoom. But I was pray to jesus..you are always with me,but don't know how to speak..In the middle of meeting,the foreign lady (she is in America) told me, your spoken English was good,I easily understood your English...Glory to God..it's all because of Jesus...Glory to God..it's all because of Jesus... Thank you jesus...but now I use Google translate to share my testimony with you.... :)...
Praying for God's Best for you! He's never failed you and He never will. Keep trusting in Him and His Perfect timing. He Loves You and He will make a way . 💗💗💗
I know if you make your days so useful that the devil doesn't want you to have so much free time, that's usually when it happens. When you take advantage of the extra time, go volunteer, go for walks, check out places you never had time to like museums and stuff. Enjoy the moments. There's a reason the devil wants you not working; stress, fear, worry, etc.. Turn it around, the changes have to happen inside you before they happen around you.
I pray you find where God wants you to be. In Jesus name. Also, try ziprecruiter and there is a sweet girl named Delilah on RU-vid that post daily leads for online work. God Bless. ❤🙏
Please pray for me to have strength to quit vaping, to stop listening to worldly music. I am getting better with music, I avoid the music that uses foul language but even tho the songs have clean versions I need to be delivered from them. so please pray with me that God gives me the strength to overcome these things. Thank you.
Here from Nebraska and starting my day with Elevation and God's word. In these crazy times, with everything seemingly out of control, I find myself bringing my focus down to what is right in front of me and doing the very best I can in the moment, in the space that is mine, and letting God handle everything else. It's very peaceful. I find myself accomplishing goals the world says I can't, because I'm simply not listening to the world. The world says shut down, stay home, wear a mask, stay 6ft away, don't have fun, don't go to work.... I hear SMILE, LOVE EACH OTHER, GIVE HUGS, BUILD, GROW, DON'T STOP, I'VE (GOD) GOT THIS!!!! Take the mask off and smile at strangers... the effect will blow your mind!!! Don't let the world de-person you or anyone else!
Im from Puerto Rico, and is amazing how God can work on the little things such as listening to this wonderful message and touching my soul. Love how God speaks through you and it seeks in me. Ive been having really intense anxiety for many situations, but Im finding God to heal me and love me. God bless you always
I feel like you were speaking to me at the end. I have suffered from OCD and other mental illnesses for years, probably most of my life. It has been the fight for my very life. I have gone in and out of depressions, panic attacks, and fear. But I cling to Jesus with whatever strength I have. I have been tormented by my own mind, and some days I wonder if its worth going on for. But you mentioned about breaking things generationally. Mental illness has afflicted my family for generations and I fear for my children because I never want them to go through this. I want them to have a happy life. So with Gods help I have been trying to overcome my thoughts and fears. I am needed here and the Lord has reminded me of that. Please keep my in your prayers that I can fight through this. I am a Christian, a child of God. Jesus saved my soul. Jesus is my Lord and Savior! I believe he is Gods son and that God rose him from the dead. Staci Young
“We have the tendency to make “big” what God calls “small”, and to make “small” what God calls “big.” Wow, this is so true and sometimes we don’t even realize that the small things lead to the biggest things. Thank you Pastor Steven for this message🙏🏼❤️🙌🏽
Im muslim and I'm listening to his lecture. Nowhere in Bible God said Trinity. He said God is only one. Jesus don't know time of hour( resurrection) according to Bible. Then doesn't it's big thing?
If your asking if it is a big thing when Jesus comes back, yes it is. And yes, Jesus doesn’t know when he will come either, but he is coming. It’s better to get to know Jesus before you meet him, because when he comes, and you don’t know him, he will deny you and say “depart from me”. That’s why Christians teach others who Jesus is and how good he is, we preach encouraging sermons and help our brothers and sisters give their lives to the Lord Jesus.
@@siennaleevlogs we too believe Jesus was great. And mighty prophet of God. God gave him so many miracles. But where in Bible Jesus said, "I'm God or worship me"? Bible doesn't say Jesus was God.
@@furqan2485 RU-vid has a Nudity Problem and a P0rn problem. Can you find the time and strength and spirit to help? Will you help strangers despite there being no physical reward?
This message comes at a crazy point in my life where things are a bit all over the place, but I needed to hear this to drive me towards perspective. God never gives us more than we can bare, and we never have to fight through it alone. What we see as BIG, give it to him...and what we see as small, amplify. I'm praying for peace...understanding, and allowing myself to look beyond myself to understand God's power and willingness to move in and through us.
Today’s message was so beautiful. Really spoke to me in so many ways. Can’t wait to see what the Lord reveals to me that is small to me yet big to him. Have a blessed week to all❣️
One thought away from ruining ur life or one thought away from living it. Don’t let one small thing ruin such a great life god has planned!!! It’s my takeaway. God speaks to me through this man. I swear. Godbless u pastor stevens!!! Denise from the Bronx!
Hey, that was a beautiful message, I could take a lot out of it so thank you. Please can you pray for me, I know I'm not going through anything major but it still shakes me sometimes, please ask God that he will be with me, and send Godly people who I can relate to and spend time with because I feel alone. Yes i have friends but very close to no one in faith. Can you also pray that I'll do Gods will here in school and draw more people to God. Hope it goes well with all of you God bless, mag God jou seën Dankie

Thank you so much for this message. This hit hard to me as I am in the depths of a divorce. It’s been a tough thing to go through. I just ask for any prayers that can be afforded for myself and my children as we go through this process. I also ask for a prayer for my soon to be ex that she receives the peace she is searching for
Hi @Lucas, thank you for sharing this with us. We will be praying for you and for your entire family as you go through this challenging process. God bless you!! 💛
Marli, do you have a good support system in your life? You are here for a reason. I know it gets very dark. I've been where you are. God is using your life in this earth and His plan is still unrolling sister. Please don't give up. Are you a part of an e-group? Get into a community of believers who love Jesus. You are loved and valuable. God wants you on earth so please stay. God please help your children. Pastor Steven called this one out specifically because you spoke it to him now please continue to work in your child's life and may she know your love in a way like never before in Jesus name.
I am so discouraged as I have had a "mental illness " most of my life. I'm in my 60's & still struggle w being "down" and not wanting to do anything many days. I love the Lord but still struggle w confusion in my life. I want to talk to someone but don't know how or who to talk to to help me. Please help me. I watch Pastor Steve almost every day but it doesn't change my issue. Can someone help me please. Thank u.
Honestly, I would suggest 1. You try to start developing a relationship with God for yourself. Watching sermons is not enough 2. Fasting for what you want. 3. Could be you need Delieverance. But start by praying and reading your Bible. Start at Matthew. And Ask God to direct you.
