I´ve been thinking about bad things to come.Jesus is changing my mind now. everybody`s going through pain but we can react in different ways. SURELY YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
Isai Langley your never alone. The Great creater is always with you. Our advocater Jesus is right with you all the time. Never give up. I've suffered from anxiety and depression my whole life. But with my faith in him those mountains have bowed down under me. Nothing will stand in front of me with God behind me. Remember your are the child of the King. Royal blood runs through you .
Pastor Furtick, I love you more than you will ever know. I was battling anxiety/depression and almost had a pschotic break down. I grew up in the church and strayed far away, but when this happened, I knew only God could save me. Therefore, I dedicated my life to God. He directed me to your sermons, everyday for a month, to help me with my thoughts and feelings. I have a greater understanding of his promises now, so I have healed greatly. However, I still look forward to your sermons. You are so anointed. Stay Blessed and continue to be a blessing!!!
Pastor Steven, watching you grow is awesome and refreshing!❤️ You got this 60 yr old excited and break throughs are happening for me after being healed from Chron's Disease!
Let me be serious I often get high and talk to my girlfriend about god and life the same way you do. I just found out about you and the elevation church, all i can say is pastor steve, you are a godsend. I really wish TBN showed your whole sermon, but I'm glad I got the integrity half, but now I'm watching the whole thing. Bless you and your family! Thanks for all you do!
God has been moving me in sooo many ways… I couldn’t seem to let go of something because of thoughts I was having and all it caused was soo much anxiousness and anxiety. Satan wants that and I NO longer am allowing it. I never wanted it to begin with however all the questions wondering why I ever got them however Satan will do anything to destroy anyone. he WONT EVER WIN and I am strong and God is STRONGER!! #havingbalance
Praise God for speaking through Pastor Furtick on this one. It really spoke to my spirit considering I have had my mind full of anxiety over things that do not matter at all!
My son passed away 10 yrs 2 months and 9 days ago. I have learned to live with it. At times it comes out like a ton of bricks to my heart. This was one of those days. I was searching the web and your sermon popped up.Thank you for this word from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My son's name was Julius, he would always tell me "mama it really doesn't matter, this too shall pass, it'll be something else in a minute. It is like Jesus allowed Julius to speak to me through your sermon. After hearing your sermon all I could do was smile with tears in my eyes, and remember I'll see my son again on the other side. I looked up to see when this sermon was published, August 28th his birthday, he would have been 30 yrs. on August 28th 2018. Thank you Pastor Furtick, Thank you Our Heavenly Father God. My Jullius would have liked you Pastor Furtick! I listen to you often on Christian television. May God continue to Bless U and Yours.
So sorry to hear. So sorry for all of this pain that you have felt and continue to feel.... Please look into the doctrine of the sovereignty of God. John Piper and RC Sproul are some amazing theologians who unpack this attribute of God. How God is completely sovereign over everything.
I battle with anxiety every single day. I've been meaning to check this church out, and this is the first sermon of elevation church I saw and it spoke to me so much.
dear ashley, i have an anxiety illness diagnosed but i push to the kingdom of heaven so my soul will be saved. It won´t last, Jesus speaks the last word over you, not your fear
God bless you Ashley Hurt. I’m praying for you to find your way. For me, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I AM NOTHING WITHOUT HIM!!! I love you and so does God!
This was probably the most amazing sermon I have ever seen before. I got to change the comments from 666 to 667! Demons shake at the name of Jesus. Amen!!!!
I'm writing this with tears running down my face thanking God because he is so good & this message is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you Jesus ❤ #Godisgoodallthetime
Been in a roller coaster of emotions lately, my anxiety is starting to spiral out of control. Started praying and listening to worship songs... and I found myself here. God listens! This is what I needed. I will be listening to this again and again to help me go through this time.
I have been struggling with suicide thoughts, I have everything to live for . I love Jesus with all that I am , I’m scared if I was to succeed I would go to hell . Please pray I can find my joy again, that I can feel again. I’ve been watching all your sermons, I keep you in my ear at all times . I’m fighting hard to stay . I am getting help in all ways possible. I know God can and will restore my mind and soul . I have beautiful grandchildren that I adore and they love me as well . Please pray for me 🙏

Man, this sermon is so on point from start to finish! When he started talking about intake on the phone I just had a huge smile on my face. I just did about a 3 week fast from all social media and it was amazing! I was always so consumed by scrolling through my FB feed every single day, and when I did the fast I was always looking for something else to do. It really sets your mind free if you give things like that a try, and replace them with more important things. It gives you more time to pray, exercise, study, read, spend time with family, and soooo much more! I loved this sermon, Pastor Steven!!
I"m sooo excited that you lasted three weeks !!! i've been thinking that I was going to do this for 40 days... i'm not sure if i'll go "cold turkey" and whether i'm supposed to not speak to my family.. sooo, i've not started.. i'm Glad that you shared. THanks
On point aside from 12:30 when he says you can't pray anxiety away. Phillipians chapter 4 the apostle Paul says to be anxious for nothing, but in everything to present your request to God which would be PRAYER and the PEACE of God will guard your hearts and minds. Now I don't know if I'm the only one who can say this but I've never had any peace in my life while I'm in the grips of anxiety. You absolutely can pray against anxiety. Pray with faith EXPECTING God to do something and it will be done so long as we seek his will above all else. Don't put God in a box!
Please pray for my mother. She lives in a constant state of fear and anxiety about everything and I believe is missing the REAL Joy of the Lord. Thanks so much.
HI, IN PRAYING YOUR MOTHER IS BETTER. I ALSO WENT THROUGH ANXIETY, BUT NO SO MUCH NOW. GIVE HER GOD DID NOT GIVE GIVE US THE SPIRIT OF FEST BUT OF LOVE PEACE AND OF A SOUND MIND.. HEALTH WISE HYDRATION, MAGNESIUM AND POTASSIUM.. MAY GOD BLESS YOU CONTINUALLY..
Guys trust me, I've been having panic attacks and trust me here please, No need of pills or medications. Just the word of God and humbled prayers. I got out of it, and so will u. God has a purpose for this test for you, he wants to make u strong and only rely in him and not on the world because the understanding of God is beyond any mans. Amen
I was lost in my mind and my heart . Crying out to God for any type of direction and God sent me this teaching/Counselor so I praise God for this church and the leaders.
I've never listened to an Elevation sermon before this morning. I jam to the worship in the car all the time, but I'm always "too busy" to listen to the sermons. This particular message is a year old, but if y'all only knew how badly I needed it this morning... Anxiety has been tearing my life apart for months! Wreaking utter havoc on even my physical state. I'm so thankful to God this morning for putting this message in my path. This will be life changing!
I have been sooooo anxious the past few weeks and one of my prayers was Psalms 139:23-24 (for God to show me, ME). When I heard this sermon I was so thankful because I knew then that the Lord heard my prayers. It was funny that you said, " If you're good at worrying, you'll be even better at worship". You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! It seemed like the more I worried, the HARDER I'd worship lol. Anyway, thanks for revisiting this topic because so many of us need this right now! May God continue to bless you, your family, and your ministry.
Pastor Steven Furtick: there are people tuning in all over the world in the middle of the night watching our sermons Me: 18 year old girl from Hawaii watching Elevations sermon at 1 AM craaazyyyy
This message was so awesome. There were 7 points total. Two of which resonated: Integrity and Indecision. Pastor Furtick hit the nail dead on the head, and since we're all family, I'll share this with you. For me, it has been a lack of integrity that has kept me from both my purpose, AND the blessings that God has for me within my purpose. The many versions of me that I allow to exist in different realms literally smother the me that God has called forth to death. When you lack integrity as a child of God, shame follows! You feel ashamed when you know better, but you aren't DOING better. Shame is an assassin when it comes to your purpose in Christ. It will silence you, kill your gifts, and keep you from reaching any and every soul assigned to your purpose. I feel as if that is MY main reason for being so indecisive; because I know what i need to do, but I'm carrying the shame of what I chose to do because my integrity is not at the level that it should be. God spoke this to me months ago, and here it is again in this message: DECIDE. Pick. Choose. Choose ye this day whom you will serve. Anxiety brought on by my very own sins makes choosing seem impossible, but it's not. I know that once I control my Intake, my mind will be free of the garbage taking up space that's alloted for God and HIS purpose for me.
I know God wanted me to hear this message. Rochelle M....your message was so profound to me. It's exactly where I am in my life. Thank you for posting. God Bless...
Very articulate..my spiritual mentor once said "God deals with what's in the dark before he brings it to the light"..in other words He'll tell you to change something, don't do this, leave that person or thing alone etc . Just between you n Him. But if we don't then He'll expose it..not to shame us..."IT" is the shame but to grow us into perfection. Its out of love. So, how are you now???
I love the part of telling the devil "keep your hands off God Property" that's right pastor you tell him...That's like a t- shirt quote. I love it, I tell him all the time What? What do you want from me now, as for me and my house, we will serve the lord, so go back to the dessert where you belong. I struggled with anxiety to the point that I felt like life was getting sucked away from me, but I have overcome. Thanks to the Lord all mighty, he can not control my mind and inflict fear anymore, if God is with us, who can be against us. Bless you pastor and all your efforts to help us with the word 🙏🏼
Pastor Steven Furtick - Thanks so much for keeping your content free. I usually watch 3 of elevation church's messages a week, I serve as a youth Pastor and Sunday for me is very busy and pouring the word out into the people. Your ministry has been a great fresh pouring into me and challenges me personally with me own walk.
I'm always eager to see what I will learn next from Pastor Furtick. Listening to this sermon, I took about 15 pages of notes (5x7 size pages). I am intrigued by the ways he & God reveal things so relevant to day-to-day living. Blessings from Texas!
Only someone anointed.... could preach a sermon like this one and .. It reaches me …and …the deepest part of my mind that causes my anxiety. I am feeling relieved already! Thank u!
I have been anxious about my health and think it comes from my anxiety. Anxiety and especially Health anxiety has been a struggle for me since I was younger. Please pray for me for mental and physical healing in Jesus's name. I am always worried something is wrong with me. I put Jesus in my heart but the devil keeps whispering in my head and tells me look up your symptom.. it could be deadly, it could be life threatening. This anxiety is an on going battle. I will diet and exercise and pray. Please pray for me as well in time of fear and anxiety. Amen in Jesus's name.
Greetings from South Africa! Thanks Pastor for being faithful to God and being open to ew ideas. Especially sharing the Word through RU-vid! Rock on! :)
Hey all my fellow believers!! My name is Aion from Toronto and I've been playing your sermons Pastor Furtick alot lately and my 63 year old Jamaican dad just said to me half way through this sermon "who is dat guy preachin? He have some really good sermons!!!" Patois accent** anyways your breaking culture barriers and I just want to say God bless and keep doing what you do!!! I attend a church called C4 in Ajax but I'm definitely gonna pay Elevation Church Toronto a visit!!!!! Bless up 🇯🇲🇯🇲 😄
I go to Chicago Tabernacle and our pastor spoke about this exact same scripture yesterday. Talk about confirmation. A lot of times we live in fear because we're not living in His perfect love. "Perfect love casts out all fear" and the more we walk in His love, the more we rest and relax in His faithfulness. Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick and Elevation Church. Continue to be led by the Spirit. God bless.
I'm a recovering addict, and my past relapse keeps the ones I love the most away from me, they are afraid of what could happen, and not that it was a mistake and we miss out on the now, the present. The ones I love won't talk or spend time with me, I'm out casted , how do I this alone. Missing my loved ones. I have been isolated, I have 11 months and 6 days clean and sober now, I miss my loved ones.
Amen Pastor Furtick this was such a great message, so many factors that come into play in anxiety, and it's comforting to know that David, a King, the most amazing worship leader and man after God dealt with anxiety like me- but he overcame it and so can I, so can we all of us ! Blessings !
nancy marques praise to our lord Jesus Christ . If you want to talk about anxiety and pannic attacks i can help you to get away with this. Regards Dennis
Such a good Sermon!!! Spoke directly to my heart! Especially at 39:50 " i got a future to imagine" the Holy spirit touched me and felt like a weight was lifted from me.
+Christelle N I agree with tou that this sermon was so echoing into souls and hearts. it was helpful, we need to meditate on it now. The pastor has done his job, ours is to seek God more and better now, ourselves by His Grace. Alléluia help us God, to find You more and better, amen in Jesus name.
Christ. With. Us all. Bless u. And. The. Chruch. Amen raising. Me. Hands. To. The. Lord. No. More. Bad. Things. Good. Health. Away. Satan. God. Guides. Us. All. Amen
Yes I get very discouraged and unmotivated not knowing where to start or what to study I get lost in the Bible and I like when someone explains to me. I learn better. And the pastor here does that for me. Even sometimes I get so sad and don't read the Bible but I put these sermons to help and I sleep beautifully and wake up with knowledge like my heart listens and learns even by listening.
Man this spoke to me! I feel like I’ve lost my dreams from when I was in HS and I’m a mom now and I still want to live those dreams but fears like “but....” Edit: YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST!
This sermon was especially for me. Like it honestly spoke directly to my life and the situations I'm facing right now. May I and everyone else tuning in learn to turn off our thoughts and let the peace of God fill us.❤️❤️
I have listened to this twice. What keeps standing out is my Integrity and Intention. Especially intention when you deem yourself special and sinless in a situation. May God search me and redeem in me a clean heart that I may serve him wholeheartedly without fear or anxiety.
Thank you this is just what I've been needing to hear! The Lord is using you in amazing ways pastor. For the past two months the devil has been trying to bring me down( asking for prayers) Starting today I'm going to start checking my faithcast, no more fear or anxious thoughts will hinder my life! Gods got everything in control
Cececinnamon praise to our lord Jesus Christ . If you want to talk about anxiety and pannic attacks i can help you to get away with this. Regards Dennis
Visiting your church is DEFINITELY on my bucket list!! Lol At 28 years old, I would've NEVER thought I would be the kind of woman to tell my husband I want to be able to take a 3-4 week long 'vacation' just so I can come and visit your church on both Sundays and Wednesday. And whenever else you guys have anything going on...including when you have revival!! Lol We were able to see Elevation Worship in Bossier City, La and let me tell you, they are just AMAZING!! I've never had a worship experience quite like that!! 🙌🏼❤️ But seriously, my husband and I have grown within our marriage, life, kids, faith, and in our church (which btw went to C3 and saw you speak and said it was SO AWESOME!! ((Journey Church in Pineville, La)) so much because of hearing God's word from not only our pastor, but from you and your wife!! I get 'something' from every. single. sermon you guys preach no matter what it is. Love you guys and your church!! ❤️❤️
This is exactly what I needed. It's like God spoke to me through you and I can't express to you how thankful I am for this. Thank you pastor Steven I hope one day I can hear you speak live!
Janelle Nicole praise to our lord Jesus Christ . If you want to talk about anxiety and pannic attacks i can help you to get away with this. Regards Dennis
Exactly ditto. I had run by Pastor Furtick before, on the TV, and first thought "Look at that character!" followed by the last thought, "He is really preaching important truth". This morning he was on the TV preaching this message. I felt conviction, which I haven't really had in a long time, to change my self-indulgent ways, repent, and try a different way of living. "LIFE" has been crowding-in ever since my conviction moment, and I am getting lost in providing these words, impressing myself, then berating myself. SO, thanks and have a fine day.
This sermon was so inspiring to me!!! I have written "IT Doesn't Matter" on a sheet of paper and placed it on my refrigerator!! And I do know that God has it and ALL things are in HIS Mighty Hands!!! To God Be the Glory!!!
Maria Your sermons empower me! I am learning so much about God's word and how the stories in the bible are truly related to our lives today! I never even read the stories intil I started listening to hou talk about them, How truly inspiring and REAL, I am going through the worst thing I have ever went through. But, your sermons always help me to put things in perspective and believe that God will get me through this victoriously. Because, I am suited up in the armor of God!! 24/7 surveillance on me! Why am I still anxious. Thank you Steve and thank you, God for speaking through Steve and his beautiful wife, too!
Pastor Steven, your sermons on Anxiety are changing my life...very very drastically. Its as if I am face-to-face with my Lord and Savior as He ministers His will through your God ordained preaching. I am 62 and have spent most of my life alone, the last 20 years very alone and lonely, sad, and depressed, and not who God created. Praise God for following the Lord and changing our lives. I have been wanting God to change my outlook on life, but I now have life changing relevation that God has been waiting for me to stay close to Him and He will and has grabbed my hand and pulled me back in. I have a vision of a wonderful future, which includes getting back to leading worship, and being the kid God created me to be. I have missed God and I have missed me.
This sermon is what I needed to hear this Morning🙏🏼 Pastor Steven thank you for sharing all this uplifting messages. Much needed reminder.. Search Me GOD
I’m a tattoo artist, it’s very rare to find Christians in this industry. The shop I just joined is.. not good. I’m getting a lot of business and getting my stuff out there but I’m surrounded by alcoholic, depressed atheists and my depression and anxiety is at an all time high. I’ve been working toward this goal my whole life and all of the sudden I hate going to work everyday. I needed this video. Any advice is accepted and prayers as well to find direction. Because I don’t know what to do.
That is why I take some time away from social media frequently nowadays! Also during that time just fast and look to God and deeply, sincerely search Him. This is what I am learning at the age of 24. Thank you for this message! Practical and gracious in speech.
I'm always depressed in my relationship I'm always focused on the things that could go wrong and cant seem to focus on what I have but who the Lord has set free is free indeed
Why Am I Anxious. That's my feeling when I woke up this morning. Not by accident but the Holy Spirit took me to this site. Praise God. Thank you for teaching on this topic.
I ask God to continue to give you wisdom and protect you always. Your sermons has helped me so much, specially the old one over anxiety. Pastor Steven thank you so much. From Africa, (Angola).
I am an ordained minister. I came down with shingles on my face 3 years ago. I still have the pain 24/7 and it has had an effect on my ability to minister. But Ps 139 has been a great inspiration to me! I refuse to be anxious about my future! Every day I get out of bed, put one foot in front of the other and go through the day. It's amazing how the pain decreases during the day as I choose to move forward trusting God, fixing my thoughts on Him, and not my circumstances!
Thank God for everything I learn through Elevation Church. It's so wonderful to watch live every Sunday at 14:30, or 16:30 or 22:00 (GMT+1) while beigne here in Cameroon. My location is not a limitation any longer. Praise God
This message was for me, for the past year my anxiety has been in an all time high. To the point I am on meds to keep me balance. But pastor are the key points was relevant to me, my mind is overwhelmed with all that is happening around me, I haven't been to church in a while, I haven't been praying, I am full of worry. This message was for me, I am ready for the shift. I ready for God's peace to enter my life. Thank you I feel so blessed to hear this message this morning. I know I'm going to need to hear this message multiple times.
43:26-33. Wow. That was the most profound thought of all for me -- in a whole message full of profound. I didn't watch this message months ago when it was first posted... God led me to it today when I was suddenly extremely anxious but not even knowing exactly why. I usually get in the Word and in prayer and worship when I get anxious, but this bout with doubt or whatever you want to call it today was so bad I couldn't even do that very well. I was in a real state of distress -- just as the enemy wants it. Listening to this has absolutely reset me. Thank you Lord! - (and also thank you Pastor, for being faithful and obedient to Him).
I love this message! This is exactly what I need because for the past 2 weeks I’ve been feeling nothing but Anxiety. I know there are so many things I need to tell god and so many things I need to confess but there are so many I don’t know where to start or how to express myself to the lord. Please pray for me family in Christ, I need it.
I forgot to mentioned, that I will continue to listen to you, as you deliver the word free of charge, I can not afford to pay for books or magazines or shipping charges...thank you pastor for remembering the poor. May the lord continue to bless you always.
