@@clarabowman9714 Yes ma'am one of the best pastor I have heard in a while. If you don't get the picture, he will not give up. He will keep the word coming till you do. Gods got alot for me to learn I want to learn it.I want to hear it. And I believe I will though pastor Steven and T D Jakes. I know your frustration. I deal with me all the time.when I don't know I'll pray about it amen. Please pray for me that I learn how to pray better. Amen I am blessed to have all these pastors in my home and heart. God bless your family's and your church.
This series is everything. I sit here in a job that frustrates me and causes me to feel like I’m failing that I forget how blessed I truly am to be in this position. God put me here against all odds, completely unqualified, but God said I was qualified. God qualified me. This series has encouraged me so. Thank you.
I was in the same place too until I heard a sermon where Pr Steven made a statement "if you trust God why are you still on that Job you hate so much?" It haunted me until I quit that Job. Haven't found a new Job yet but never been happier. And God is speaking big things to me. Im trusting the process of being rebuilt by the most caring Father🙏
I've had two significant jobs and they both required college degrees. I understand completely where you're coming from. I know this is a year later but I'm praying that things have fallen into alignment for you. 🙏🏻
I’ve been struggling 2 years straight trying to figure out whether I’m successful or not, feeling more like a failure because I wanted so bad the approval of my mom for me to feel successful, my mom isn’t a bad mother But because I’m the oldest of my 2 sisters she believes I don’t need her, so often she’s more worried about my sisters than me, I can’t remember the last time she asked me if I was okay or if I was sad about anything, because I pretend to be happy she thinks I am, but I’ve been trapped in the image of being the “perfect daughter” and feeling like I’m a failure and that if I die no one will care, that now With this sermon I’ve realized so many things, I thank God for the existence of Pastor Steven and for using him in such wonderful ways❤️🙌🏼
God bless your heart! My mom struggled from.this and the devil would try to build resentment but Praise God that he has been defeated. You are greatly loved!
I'm sorry you're going through this, its something that I relate to myself because I feel that I am the one who's constantly comforting my mother and not the other way round and sometimes all i want is for her to tell me it will all be okay. Great thing though where our mums are human, God isn't, he will give us all we need. All the best sis
Amen👐 I feel you sista, I'm always doing my best n there when anyone need but I don't get it in return or any recognition n it makes me feel some kinda way, but thanks to God,I kno better n this sermon was🔥🔥

Aloha young Sis...I understand but I want you to consider the following. To HIM you are HIS masterpiece, HIS baby girl, the apple of HIS eyes. Not only HE knows you by first name but even numbered...if HE had just counted the hairs of your head that would been profound but HE numbered. That means that this morning when you brushed your hair and one got stuck in your brush that JESUS knew that was hair 87,567. You are important, worth it, and HE has a plan and a purpose for your life. Blessings and look up as HE is shining on you. All of the above I can prove it to you with the following reference: Psalm 42:2 in the NIV Bible Bonito Día Reina!
I feel like God is saying to me "why do you keep settling for low paying jobs you hate?" I have so much potential and I have been so depressed because I am so bored and under challenged at work. I sit at a desk all day, feel isolated and just sit there and get more depressed. Other people in my department just scroll on their cell phones all day and dont care. Self care and health has gone out the window. My problem is keep taking internal jobs, I need to expand my horizons and see what is out there. I am always waiting on God but I feel like God has said to me "I have been waiting on you." You have free will, use it.
Pat Thank you. That really resonated with me.... I’ve been in the same situation, unhappy and depressed at work. I’ve been praying and waiting for God to change it. I know what I want...just scared to move and waiting on him .... but I have free will and I should use it. Thank you.
21 and single. Just finished 3 years of bible college. Living out of home on $500 a month for a roof over my head. God has called me to be a pastor but even I feel like quitting. Msg is timely
This message came right on time for me and his calling upon your life is truly a blessing & the fact that you know by trusting in him is what tells you exactly what you need to do, the feelings of inadequacy and or wanting to quit will be unsuccessful because you already know what he called you to do & his purpose in your life, blessings to you in all that you do!
My first encounter of Pastor Steven Furtick sermons was in 2014. I passed by my tv in the living room and a local tv station (Family TV) was airing his sermon 'Sister Wives'. And I have been listening to his sermons ever since. Such a blessing. Thank you Pastor Steven.
Yessss this message hit a spot.I am God's child,I am loved,I am chosen👏👏👏thank you for the deliverance father.I am exactly where I need to be doing exactly what I need to be doing.I will forever be contented with where I am and what I am doing by your grace and love💓
Today - 2yrs after this sermon - I felt a tug to watch this and God just spoke so heavy to My Heart. John 15:16 - You didn't choose Me, but I chose YOU. I have appointed You to go, to produce Fruit that will last, and to ask the Father in My Name to give You whatever You ask for." I've been Praying so hard lately that God would let Me be able to see the Fruit of My labor for others, but what He did what flip the script and show the Fruit that He's been producing in ME. That tore Me up because I KNOW God is doing a NEW THING - IN Me and FOR Me and not just for others. I needed this sooooooooooooo bad because God's about to birth in Me something the world has never seen before and I'm Trusting Him to see it thru - and it begins WITH ME! TYJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💗💗💗
This series was significant each week was a building up confidence not just teach the young gen but the older gen. " It takes Faith to be Fruitful" and God I want to be Fruitful 🙌🙌😭 Thank God for Kingdom Clout
May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to Bless the Furtick family to deliver the Word of God to the world and preach the kingdom of God. I am going to listen to this series again. Awesome word.Thank you.
Felt like I was failing God and myself and loosing the battle and then watched this sermon and realized I was wrong!!! Thank you for feeding me spiritually daily! It was exactly what I needed today!! Please pray for my family and I to be blessed! Pray God works in my children’s and grandchildren’s life for them to come home to God!!
I want to be blessed in the way the Bible says I should be blessed ! Thank you Farther for blessing me in this way … in the sweet name of our Farther JESUS CHRIST !!!! Amen
I saw Pas. Steven and Holly in my dream, preaching on our road near my house here in Bangalore, India. I walked upto him and held his hand to come to our place. He came to our gate, we were all sitting at the gate. I saw God's word tattooed on Pastor's throat and some words on his hands, when I held his hand, those words in his hands became tattoo designs on my hand. Pastor, kingdom clout and the giving of your church is a success. (it is the truth Whether I had a dream about it or not, God anyways wants you to know this from his people in India)
I sat in the seats (on an exciting vacation) and was moved, now 5 months later it still shakes my spirit. I can not tell you exactly how much this all means to me but I am so grateful for the blessing that is Elevation Church and Pastor Furtick.
This sermon is exactly what I needed to hear. I thank God for allowing me to come across it when I was doubting if my talents actually matter and if I will ever be successful. I pray to start bearing fruits with the talents God has giving me. Thank you Pastor Stephen for obeying God's calling over your life and the Elevation Church for spreading these messages across to the world. I pray God continues to protect and provide for all our needs. In Jesus name. Amen
" If you judge it in the process of doing it you interrupt the power in it." Wowwww 💎 deposited. Thank you, Pastor Steven for remaining true to your calling. I know it can't be easy and I always pray the Lord keeps you and your family protected ❤
Gmorning ,I need prayer ! That I be Blessed like God Blesses!! And that I dont need the approval of man ,but of God!! His will not mine!! IN JESUS NAME!!!🙌💜😇
My been trying figure out how good I'm doing by other seeing or saying finally looking good, and business is great, My teenager is amazing with Grades and finding her own beautiful direction and working. But I'm more frustrated within myself because feel like I'm failing and frustrated more now than when we were in year past when others were no where and no communication and no one understand what or where we were and failure to outside world.but now they see us rerouting back in town but I miss the quiet country living with our animals and rerouting, reforms, reHome all of us! 3yrs laters..after find this church to breaking fear to come back in town in a town we never wanted to be. But God's faithfulness he replaces everything because I Never denied you father you were the only thing in our direction..
God doesn't want us to hate here.... He can meet you here and you will reach there together... The present is the gift we got straight from heaven, I mean if you cannot enjoy right what makes you sure that you could enjoy by then? Don't allow anything to steal your joy.
You learn that you don't need anyone but God because you never had anyone but God there for you and you kept surviving. - A note I wrote some months ago. Fix your focus.
Thank you past Steven you bring us the Word by such a joyfull way there is no time to get board.The Lord had chosen well when he pointed you to preach ..Amen Maggie NZ
That’s me! I wasn’t even looking for a sermon but the You Tube feed brought up your sermon... last year - it might have even been this particular one... I don’t remember because I’ve been watching you since! And I’ve seen so many - I’m trying to hear every word, every explanation, every message. Thank you so much for making so much sense of His word. You are a true Man of God.
2 Samuel 22 and Psalm 18. David's praise songs to God. Promises really come to pass and I know it's GOD'S PURPOSE my destiny and the process, wasn't easy!
Yup! You’re not wrong pastor! It was RU-vid that put you on my recommendations list and i gave it a shot and I’ve been listening to you EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 2 months. I get excited to listen cuz you’re also funny while you preach. So thank you.
Really love this, never gets old, second time, just love all of your messages are timeless just like the BIBLE, every one can relate to you and your heartfelt humor and sincerity and honesty, it's so refreshing, Thank You💜 Anything the World can give, they can take, I pray for Peace & Joy and Healing and Unity for the World🙏

God has blessed me because i found you I was in ICU 1-29 ,30, 31, 2-1, 2-2-20 for the reversal of my ostomy. I heard you preaching on the TV and knew you were what i needed when i got home. I took a picture of your name on the TV with my cell phone. I have been home since 2-9-20 and have been watching you on and off though out the day since I got home on youtube and your elevation church home page and you are changing my life a little bit every time i watch you.

PS im a 60 year old happy married man looking to change my life
Most of the times I feel so low and cry out saying why can't I just be normal! But thank God for this message today.... I listened late but it came right on time !
This has to be by far one of the most impactful sermons I’ve listened to and I have been listening to Steven Furtick for a couple years on and off. But in this season of my life where I was just ready to give up renounce everything I’ve believed in . Been soo broken hearted soo discouraged in my walk with God I’ve been through some heavy heavy things recently that shaked me to my core made me question my beliefs just when I was about to give up I was asking who should I be listening to in this point time and season in my life and I hear clearly clearly in my room I had been crying in distressed and was just coming out of it and I heard listen to Steven Furtick , and Dharius Daniels which is another preacher . And they have blessed me tremendously these two are the real deal.
good evening pastor may thee lord bless yur pastoring thee word of thee father thank you Jesus and all praiseand glory too thee father in jesus name amen
I spent 15 + years trying to prove that I was something and could be “successful”. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and graduating with an elementary education degree with a learning disability, raising kids, working full time, and graduating with honors meant to me I would be. I spent years trying to be a successful “teacher”. I was miserable and so were my kids., while “failing “ at every turn. God allowing me to fall was one of the best gifts He ever gave me. I fought Him. I was angry and fought Him hard. He wants to heal generations of distinction in my family. When I was ultimately exhausted and felt defeated did He truly started working through me. The peace I have now by far surpasses the immense pain I allowed to grow. He wants me and my adult children to heal. Right now my kids and I do not have a relationship but I have to believe that these beautiful humans are being healed also. This is not the point really in this rambling but, if my children are not talking to me means their healing , finding God and learning to become closer and closer to Him then it’s all worth it to me. I want to also wish a very happy birthday to my son David will be 19 tomorrow :-) I will gladly share anything from my past if it really truly will help somebody else.
I'm blessed by the small things, that most take for granted. I am blessed that i can bend my knees to clip my toes, I am blessed that i can sit here, listening to Steve, in my warm home, and my hot coffee, and my rotten kitty. Thats blessed..... I've been cold, hungry, and homeless, but God took me under His wing, and blessed me, over and over and over again. I can't wait to see Him face to face to say THANK YOU!!
I don't want someone else's fruit. I just want positive fruit in my life by me. I feel like such a failure in my marriage 😥 we have been married for almost 39 years. It has caused so much difficulty and strife in my marriage since I have become a Christian. But, I won't turn back to my worldly ways. I refuse !
The most interesting thing was that I didn't even search for the sermon, it was in your story and I pressed click for more, I say yes to see. And it took me 5 hours to finish it all with notes and children. (I note to understand better, English is not my language) I listen to Pastor Steven Furtick for about 3 years and I learned a lot of things God spoke through him soo many times . So many wonderful words, thank God and thank Pastor Steven Furtick! I can't write a favorite lesson because the whole sermon surprised me. I was like Yes Lord I am the one that says here! "God im breaking apart.. Yes but thats what a seed does before it grows..." "😀 I got a boat, I'm blessed, everybody who thinks a boat is a blessing never had a boat." 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Pastor Furtick, You must know EVERY message is on point in my life! I am coming back from a domestic violence situation and am in a shelter, I struggle with the up coming divorce, though it must be done. The RU-vid Gods as you put it always ding my phone with a message from you that keeps my head up and my focus on His path for me and my son, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MINISTRY!
Wow!! 😲. I need this. Every morning when I get ready for work I always get my day started by listening to your messages Pastor Furtick. You are touching lives but most importantly changing my behavior each day. **Houston TX**
WOW, watching this message on 4/4 in the middle of COVID-19 and wow, this is all I've been struggling all my life...God is transforming me in the moment in my situation.
God is never late! I needed this! Im too hard on myself and I am always seeking man's approval and not God's! I'm always seeing myself as a failure because I got a bachelor's degree in CJ and working at a daycare, but I know God is proud of me! Help us Lord to FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS on you and the Kingdom! Love you Jesus!
'You know what kind of success sucks. The one that you project, but it's not real and you don't really possess it. When you need to appear a certain way, so... what happens is sometimes we get so addicted to the approval that comes from others, that we can't receive the approval that comes from God and that has to be an inner voice'. Amen to that. Thank you God. Thank you Steven Furtick. Thank you Elevation Church Team. God Bless.
Hey from the Netherlands. I found all i need, in the period of life all was taken away what i tought to be impotant. I found the truth just about 2 years ago. Always felt more than the fysical world. And in the worldly world never found the truth, peace, and principal things deeply embedded inside me. I had the privelege to learn and read freely scripture because of my ex-girlfriend. Who is Christian. And in the first time reading it showed me the deeply embedded feelings, principals and all things i searched all my life, and tought ot to be an impossible utopia, but the scripture learned it all is inside me for a reason. And IT is the truth and not a dream. Since november she (my ex-girlfriend) left me. And i still pray to let us come together again. But also i am her thankfull for letting me know christ scripture, truth, hope, love and belief. Still learning every day from the truth. I have been an model worldly person. Lost all of my life (things, possessions, friends, my house and even self-worth even my dad died out of the blue in that period) because of an work related accident. I have been homeless for about 2,5 / 3 years. But in that period i met my ex-girlfriend and with her I met God. Just in the perfect moment. At the moment when i would do desperate things to try to get out the most hopeless period of my life. Praise the lord. He makes you full, Everthing has a reason. And he has a plan for you, thats greater than we realise. No matter what i praise Him for whats om my path, the good things, the (in our eyes) not so good things. And i learned sometimes you need to lose all you think you need or have to let you see the core of what we really need or what we still have. Steven Furtick is one of the pastors who reaches me time after time. His messages give power, calmth, hope and good life / belief teachings. Keep it up.
