God will you just have to ask. Then do your part. Turn to him . Ask him and he shall do it for you. Don't entertain them. ​@@adambachelder8194

[@isabelx14]

KEEP SEEKING FOR GOD! When i was 15 i promised myself, if life didn't get better, i was going to take my life by 25. Today i´m 27 and trust me, all those years have been a roller coaster, but every time i was at the very end of myself, God kept showing up with a word, a song, a quote. something to make me hold on. I am still fighting against some ideas but i am taking it one day at a time, and i hope anyone who feels like i did, promise to themselves to seek God every day even when you don´t want to. He is real, this is more than a feeling, this is more than a religion. He is here and He loves you. As long as we keep breathing, He still has something for us in the future.

Welcome to the Family of God brother! God is going to do amazing things through you. You are always a part of God’s Family, even if your family rejects you and or Jesus. Love your enemies and pray for them to also be found. Always stand in Truth, for “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 and “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes-the Jew first and also the Gentile.” Romans 1:16 Welcome welcome welcome brother in Christ! It’s not easy, but it’s worth it! Jesus Christ and the Truth about Him - is worth anything and everything! Even leaving your family if you need to. “And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.” Matthew 19:29

[@user-rs3dy1zz7c]

Wow. I have watched this sermon 3 times with note taking. I am 67 years old. This message hit it out of the park. I entered with intention to let this search like packman going high and low and deep to any deep sore. Allow the seeping sore to show up and then pray different,yes different. My prayer life has already changed. Thank you my Sovereign Lord for the awakening thru this Pastor Steven Furtick, that you have allowed us to hear today. What a blessing to hear such an anointing message. Lord I want to walk in the way of this teaching in all of my days. God bless Steven Furtick and his family 🙏🏼

[@melindaorsini9704]

It is so true when he said the mark of a believer is a bullseye. Since my boyfriend left to Parris Island for Marine bootcamp, I feel like the enemy is trying to attack every chance it gets. But hearing the elevation church sermons and putting into practice what I learn has made a huge difference! Could I ask for the church and everyone here to please pray my boyfriend. He has been experiencing knee pain for the last week and he’s afraid this will set him back if he doesn’t get better. Please have him in your prayers that his pain gets better and he gets the strength he needs to complete boot camp. ❤️

[@DM-kk6pw]

This lines up perfectly with what I've been going through. I've been praying for my prodigal son for a long time now; and I told God it seems like I'm losing this battle; but immediately I heard the spirit of God say, "You're not losing it; I'm using it." He is drawing me closer to him through this. Out of my desperation to see my son saved, I have gotten so much more serious about my walk with God. Now, I'll take the beautiful truths from this message and go wider and higher, so I can see this problem isn't really all that big, especially compared to my sovereign LORD JESUS! Praise be to God!

[@user-xf8fv5ph8m]

Amen 🙌🙏
