Dear Lord, I pray for the person reading this right now. I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that they have came across this because they are in need of strength, protection, restoration, & love during this season of their life. I pray you give this person exactly that Lord God plus more. I pray you bless this person and send your angels to guide them out this storm. I pray at this moment, they feel your supernatural power come over them and fill them with the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus protect us from the wickedness and snares of the devil. In Jesus Name Amen.

Glad I stopped by to listen with my son who is currently in the ICU. We're just trusting God to be the healer and use my son for His glory. My son tried to take his life because he didn't know how to handle.his mental state. But he was bringing so many of his friends closer to God by reading the word with them and encouraging them to walk a straighter path. I just hope God isn't done with him yet.

Greater things are coming your way... keep your focus and trust in Jesus. You are going to see many things change. At times God removes people so that He can remove all your distractions and so that you will turn your focus on him. But know this what's coming after is greater than anything you have experienced till now. God. Bless you.

Where in the bible about Elevation Church? Apostle Paul warned to the True Christians in the bible is in the book of 1 Corinthians 4:6 "And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; THAT YE MIGHT LEARN IN US NOT TO THINK OF MEN ABOVE THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. True CHRISTIANS by works (not by mouth) in the bible are members of the body. In the book of 1 Corinthians 12:12 "For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. What is the body? In the book of Colossians 1:18 "He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. What is the church of that body? It's the CHURCH OF GOD. 15 Bible verses about Church of God. There is only 1 Religion or Church in the bible. In the book of James 1:27 " PURE RELIGION" Religion- It's a SINGULAR form not a plural form. Churches or Religions which were not written in the bible is in the book of 2 Corinthians 2:17 "For we are not, like so many, PEDDLERS of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

God is more that faithful. Sometimes we think we are asking God the right thing as it is not even a grain of sand on the beach. Instead of giving us that grain He builds us a sand castle and we were unaware of even asking for that as we only expected that grain of sand. Stand firm and God will meet your needs.

🤚 I'm a struggling believer who plays hot & cold. Pray for me and my family. Your preaching have opened my mind and heart. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@louiscolon8609]

I never really answer to people or reach out with confidence and share God with others as often as I desire, but I personally wanted to reach out to you for some reason and say I too, get close to God, then at times end up astray but I have realized now his grace has been shielding you in both your distance and your closeness to our Creator. So I pray that the guidance and holy presence of our powerful father in heaven, encourage, uplift, protect and strengthen you along with you family. May our spirits always yearn for you Jesus. Be blessed today brother.

If you do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got.. LEARNING & PRACTICING everything you're preaching has been life changing, I went from punching out windshields & holes into the wall, to not listening to anyone's advice, to meltdowns all the time to be patient & listening & I have to process everything, because number 1 I don't want to miss a learning opportunity but 2 I don't want to flip out anymore. I am not an angry person I am a woman filled with the Holy Spirit today... ❤❤❤❤

Im healed from anxiety but when i watched this sermon i felt pastor steve is talking to me and i felt a little bit panic attacks and little bit anxious it made me realized that maybe the devil doesnt want me to hear this things, maybe the devil wants to distract me from the words of God and he doesnt want me to know what God put inside of me, after watching it i felt good and safe because i know now what to do it shifted my mindset from negative to postive. Wow❤

My son was healed from a heart condition that required open heart surgery at just a week old after he was born. Doctors expected him to be in the nicu for awhile, But God 🙌🏽 he was healed with a healthy heart just in a week of being in the nicu. He’s 2 tomorrow and is a healthy boy! God is able.

[@promisepenton6669]

This is EXACTLY how I stay sober! I know relapsing part of recovery it it doesn’t HAVE to be. I use my sober time (almost 16mo now) to prepare for what statically could come. I listen to what other addicts say especially when I hear types of behavior and thoughts that precede relapse (physical or emotionally) I constantly reevaluate where my heart is and how to move it forward. I can spend my time doing this because I don’t have to spend my time obsessively thinking about trying to control my addiction. Jesus does that for me. I got alllllll the power I ever needed by giving UP the power up to him. Vigilance mixed with hope pushes complacency away. Thank you Jesus for rescuing me! 17yrs of slavery to alcohol but now I’m in the AFTER! Please God use me to help others find what I’ve found…. Freedom in you 😊

[@Fallen42x]

I’m believing and receiving in Jesus name ❤

[@benfaulkner1908]

I am so blessed to be at this height in my life, and in this moment I have felt overwhelmed being on the presipus. Despite how far I have come, I stopped myself from advancing. Listening to this sermon has helped me so much today. I realize what is coming "after", This anxiety is so amazing that the devil is trying his best to make me not take the leap. In this state, I have been able to come to terms with so many things I've been dealing with my whole life. I'm blessed to be able to look into the past, look past all this, and grow into what God knows I am meant to be. Today I am excited to take the leap, not just for myself but for my wife, my children, and my family. Nothing can stop me with God beside me. Thank you for this message. I listen and spread your word, and I can't put words to how much it has helped me and others around me. Thank you, and God bless you, Pastor Steven Furtick! Sincerely, with my deepest regards, Benjamin Michael Faulkner

[@HELYNND11V11NE]
