*GOD Is Saying To You Today;"Don't go backwards, that's what the enemy wants you to do.Your future will be greater than your past.Your past was just preparation for your future. Iam with you.Keep moving forward. Things are better for you up ahead. "Trust in His promises.🕊*

[@tabathaworlds2389]

Amen

[@babuarnold5115]

This is so true I also learnt that because I trust the promise I must trust the journey for He is still the same God in the detours

[@tim4cn759]

I wasn't even going to look at the comments 😕 but I am glad that I did... very much needed affirmation

[@tim4cn759]

Amen 🙏 thank you Jesus

[@mmeyenentia3609]

[@d-b-x1993]

Please pray for my self and my wife and I, David + Amber Brown in Fresno, California. We need healing, restoration and God's help to fix our marriage. Please send prayers for us ✝️😇💖💍

Look at old photos. Even photos of your individual history. Remember who y'all were. Enjoy hobbies of your past. Find out old things about each other that you never knew. You got this bro.

[@kidrauhllov3]

“I’m not consulting with the enemy for life strategies” wow 👏🏻

[@furyss1tv184]

Forgive me Lord for my bad patterns you've taken so much away yet I still fall back to stuff that does not make sense. thanks Steven

[@kcsutherland4168]

I really needed this today..... I've been so bad about my faith lately, I haven't trusted Him, I haven't listened to Him, I haven't heeded His convictions, I haven't been an amazing follower.... I haven't done right by my family or by Him. I miss my relationship with Him..... thank you God for Your forgiveness, for Your love that surpasses all knowledge and understanding, thank you God for Your convictions, thank You for the choice to be better. Lust of the flesh has gripped me so tightly, this world has ahold of me and I need to break through, I need to remind myself that He has saved me from my rock bottom and blessed me so abundantly yet I am a sinner and He remains faithful and loving to me. Thank you Steven Furtick for being exactly who He created you to be.

[@maryannmartin4222]

Amen

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God And bruh I'm right there with ya. I smell what your steppin in. Lust of the flesh ✓ pride ✓ judgemental ✓ unsure ✓ scared ✓ think I'm loosing my mind sometimes ✓ am I under Spiritual attack or is God working on me ✓ am I really saved? ✓ I get so emotionally exhausted sometimes ✓ precious Jesus hold my hand ✓ Why me Lord ✓ Merl Haggard both songs shoot his gospel playlist KZbin ✓ The Gaithers Sometimes it takes a mountain ✓ We are not worthy ✓ He went through all of that and was crucified for everybody on this PLANET because he loves US That much ✓ his loves beyond our understanding ✓ he knows how evil the devil is and he's smooth ✓ sneaky ✓ seductive ✓ in yo face ✓ invisible ✓ he hates you ✓ he hates me ✓ he hates our moms ✓ he hates our dads ✓ he hates our kids✓ All he is, is Hate/Evil/ Real ✓ Yes he is Very Real ✓ But Jesus defeated him 4 You ✓ 4 me ✓ 4 every 1 but if only 4, 1 who will believe in him. He went through all of that stuff 4 us and we're not worthy. So Pick your cross back up strap it on it's ok to cry it feels good and it can help set you free. He knows how hard it is. Try going through all of it without commiting 1 sin so you can save the people who hate you for loving them so much. Why? The devil, sin, people don't like to be exposed or condemned or convicted even if f it just a feeling. This battle is real ✓ You already know who wins ✓ So Stay Your Faith. But if you need to borrow someone's for a bit be sure to pray 4 them or with them. Do not be or let yourself be isolated with a problem the devil is evil and that's where he wants ya. Find a prayer group or just 1 person to talk to. We have and do all sin. Give it to the Lord he's already paid the price in blood for it. Give it to the Lord and praise him 🙏🕊️❤️

I’ve listened to THIS entire sermon three times now, since it was delivered live (which was the first time I heard it)… today, this part 🤯 it hit me in a moving way. It moved me! It sat me straight up in my chair. Thank you again Pastor Steven. Always delivering exactly what I need.

[@pearldunn6672]

My husband of 31 years and I like to talk to each other. We read to each other, pray, sing, meditate and ask for God's Will for us each day. Yesterday we were discussing all the tragedies that are happening around the world from wars, fires, storms, floods, hunger, homelessness and fights about wearing masks or being vaccinated which is dividing us more then ever. We decided why wouldn't there be when people use what was invented for what we thought was free, the internet to spread so much distrust, blame, hate filled thoughts and words into the Universe. Break that pattern and feel the Joy of living through God and spread that around instead. We are grateful to God our Creator for giving us a new covenant through the peace filled teachings of Christ Jesus and for this mornings message Pastor Steven. Thank you for that!

Thank you Jesus, for being the good shepherd and for redirecting your sheep who have been led astray and have run back to the valleys where we are vulnerable, where the enemy prowls like a wolf to tempt us with the wicked ways of the world that keep us from our heavenly kingdom’s calling. Lead us to the mountain tops where we shall rise up in spirit with wings that soar like eagles towards the heavens where we shall find eternal freedom from sin.

In Australia being in lockdown for 200+ days the enemy is every where and people are copying all details of it. I'm lonely, I'm by myself and I can literally only reach out to God.

[@isajomariemanalo2202]

Just woke up and checked youtube for a preaching so I typed Steven Furtick, this is the 1st vid that I saw. I smiled because I knew God already answered my prayer. 🙂 This is what exactly I'm feeling for the past month. I'm asking God what is happening to me and contemplating about my past & life choices.. I asked Him to fix me again and I just realized that He is already fixing my bad patterns, starting from my sleep, I usually sleep around 6am but today I woke up before 4am (3rd day now) Im so happy. This is just a season. I was praying few days ago why I am feeling this way and this is exactly the answer & what I needed to hear. Thank you Pastor. 🤗 God bless you and your family. ❤️

this sermon hit the nail on he head. it motivated me made me to recognize where change is needed. its about breaking the cycle.Pastor Furtick thank you for your honesty , your humor makes your sermons stay with me so much more. God bless you and your family for celebrating God and Jesus Christ our savior. I love quotes now i will practice bible verses for when the devil comes bother " the bible says ", lol may you continue to impact lives possitivly. you are one of the major reasons i have started coming back to praise and respect our Father. i deeply thank you from the bottom of my heart. i'm work in progress, i did learn some worldly bad habits, i'm in process of replacing for good habits, to be a better example to 2 little nephews here .who go to church consistantly and are very involved. they come share Gods word with me and that puts a great bug smile on my face. It did make a HUGE difference to grow up in church. there were tough times when i ONLY had HIM. but i know i can achieve this goal. grew up in church every sabbath for 17 yrs. then just went another way. i'm coming back thanks to you renewing and enlightening me with your sermons and how you preach. FYI KEEP UP THE PDA with Holly, its the greatest thing you can do for your kids. : )

Thank you for this shorter video, I listened to the original sermon, I didn’t have an opportunity to write down the last part, about insecurity “ This time, however, I paused, got paper and pen and wrote it down. “Stop indulging your insecurities, it gives you self pity, and you use that to sedate the pain of pressure.” Is there any part of our lives where this would not apply? I feel blessed, as if this message was meant for me. Peace and God’s blessings
