Lonely Places | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

[@amandabrand333]

I know how the man with leprosy felt. I've lived with HIV for 26 years. When Covid came about, I didn't fear it. When people refused to work with the covid patients, I said I'm here, send me. When someone asked wasn't I scared, I said no, I walk by faith. No one knew of my dark place but my dark place has brought peace to so many When I wasn't scared to touch or hug them.

Hello, my name is Amy and I have been in such a lonely spot in my life for a while. I've been struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I have never felt so low in my life and constantly battle with all these negative thoughts in my head. I want to have a future and continue moving forward in my life, I want to prosper and grow and be there for the people who love me. Most importantly I want/need God in my life. I don't want the enemy to win. For anyone who comes across this comment, please pray for me.

Going through a loooonnnggg lonely season. I know God does things at His timing, but I wonder how long it will last. I pray for patience. I pray God works on me and my emotions. Grant me PEACE Lord. Show me mercy and grace to learn to be alone with me. To be ok with me. To love me. To take care of me.

I feel exactly the same way I need the same things you asked for. May God help us 🖤

[@hollicook9426]

Amen Jonnas. He is most merciful. My lonely season continues, but it is in Him I trust. We never know why God does what He does, nor what He's doing in our lives. I do know that He turns everything into good. We don't always see it through our human eyes or feel it with our human emotions. God is timeless and perfect, and if we are created in His image, we should see our selves as He sees us. We are His children and He is our good Father. He loved us first, before we loved Him. Shouldn't we love ourselves? Prayers and blessings and peace.

Took pill overdose painkillers sleeping pills even rat poison. Slept in tears every night hoping to die.

While I am in a beautiful Christian home with awesome women, the newness of being released has left me feeling a little lonely. Jesus has been walking with me through the dark times in my life and He is here now. Sometimes we just need reminding. Thank you Pastor for reminding me.

@@DementiaSurvivor thank you for your heartfelt words this morning. Just a praise report to give thanks to my King. In the pruning and the crushing and all the separation, I have changed. My parents called me to come home. On the very day I was traveling, my mom calls crying. She said my youngest daughter was never going to allow me to see my grandchildren again. I arrived at my mothers and immediately went into a bedroom and called out to God. I told Him I had faith that He was in control of this situation, I prayed for about 30 mins. I walked into the livingroom and my mom said, your daughter is bringing your grandchildren over. Not only did she bring them, she allowed them to stay with me for four days. On the fourth day my oldest daughter brought my other grandchild. God is so good. There have been so many other miracles in the past 5 months. All glory to Him who created me.

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, missing somebody, depressed, hurt, scarred from the past, having personal issues no one knows about, and have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words. You're never alone. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. God is still writing your story, repent of your sins and believe. Jesus loves you. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

Naomi- Alone, not lonely. Move forward and not stare at the past, standing still. You cannot drive looking in the rear view mirror. You can meet a new person on this planet every second of your life. Surround yourself with service and sharing and generously exploring your life. You are connected and in relationship when you are giving and not expecting to receive. Give more and you WILL KNOW NOT LONELINESS. Remember in breathing we have to exhale first. Then we can inhale. Serve, give, love, breathe. Amen! 🙏🌞

I woke up this morning and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "Ugh, God I feel so lonely" . My husband of 22 years turned his back on God a few years ago and I've been watching my three kids slowly become harder and harder to reach and slip further and further away from God. They're not young kids anymore - they're older teens with wills and independence.. I feel as though I am trying to be the spiritual head of the house even though I wasn't designed for this and its exhausting and so LONELY> then I stumbled onto this sermon which I believe wasn't an accident. This was another example of God's perfect timing and He will meet me in this lonely place. His peace is strengthening me and will sustain me and I'm just so thankful.

Thank you for this. I’ve been “lonely” sooo long. My whole childhood of sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts my whole life, because by the time I started seeing the way things were supposed to be, I was already broken inside...then losing my mom at 17...running away so much in my teens...I finally found a guy to help me live a little, and I did...we had a great life...until he died suddenly in 2008. Naturally, my severe depression got a whole lot worse. I quit living life, and I quit enjoying existing. My daddy was who kept pushing me all this time. Last February, he started falling, and I finally gave him an ultimatum to go see someone...that day, February 3, I found out my daddy was dying...with lung cancer that had spread to his bones and had started intruding in his brain...with more than 20 broken bones, he was suffering...within 24 hours, he began talking out of his mind, and in 7 days, on the 10th of February, 2020, my daddy died. 4 months earlier, I lost my mother-in-law suddenly as well. We were close, too. But, my rock and my one, true friend...my daddy died. Being so isolated from my life already, I had no true friends and let no one in... so the guilt I felt for the ultimatum...for not knowing how much he was hurting...for being angry...and, with absolutely NO ONE close to me anymore, I really became withdrawn...sleeping 16-20 hours a day, not bathing, not leaving the house, focusing on videos of death and dying, contemplating how to end it all once and for all... Until...Christmas, 2020...when I got saved!!! Praise God...I’m so grateful he didn’t give up on me!!!! Anyway, I’ve been praying multiple times a day since, studying the Bible daily, and watching videos online, including yours. And, although I gave my heart to the Lord, I’ve still been lonely...I’m still struggling some, but, compared to where I was....thank God, I’m getting better. Finding this video tonight reached me and had me feeling like it was truly God’s plan for me to hear this message. So, thank you. I’m so glad I found it...I really needed to hear it. Bless you! 💜💜💜

It has made its channel-concept just Nude Woman (and only woman, which alone is telling, aye?). Every single Video should be reported, as well as the channel. Hope this aint too much to ask of you, but i hope you find the time and spine. Not anyone has the spine to report to help the plattform and its users, after all...

I came here to find my way back...I'm 32 years old and I feel like I'm forcing myself to move, to do everything on my own. I don't feel worth it.

Look at how many you don't accept. Meditate on how much you aren't accepting of others. It's there, that separateness. Ask Spirit to blatantly show you how you are receptive and accepting of others and you will see that reflection of your family. Accept yourself and others greatly, generously and unconditionally much much more. There's a difference between respect and accept. Don't thirst for acceptance for when you accept you, you won't be thirsty for anyone's sweetness or food/love. When you love yourself you love Spirit and you don't thirst for emotional food from others. Amen

Michele Allen’s Testimony: I was born and raised Catholic. When I was 17 years old a friend of mine showed me in the Bible that “We must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I went to a Evangelical-type church and church camp. There,I felt the presence of God for the first time in my life!! It was truly amazing! I sincerely repented and cried rivers of heartfelt genuine tears of sorrow for the life I had been living. I was told that I was “born again” But for the next three years I experienced feelings of the frustration of not being able to live for God. I felt unworthy Bc I kept failing Him. I could not seem to grow in God like the Bible talked about and continued to revert back to a sinful lifestyle. I felt utterly defeated Bc I could not stay faithful to God, His Word or His commandments. I could not tell you how many times I was “born again”again at the altar of repentance. I later found out I was only living on repentance and that’s why I did not have power or the strength to even remotely live like a Biblical Christian let alone obey Gods laws. It wasn’t until I was almost 20 years old, walked into an Apostolic Church and got a Bible study that the truth of salvation began to be come to light: The gospel indeed is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ: (I Corinthians 15: 1-4). The best thing I ever learned was how to rightly divide the word of truth. The four Gospels which are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John talk about Jesus and His earthly ministry: He healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons and did miracles, etc. In the book of John, Nicodemus came to Jesus in the night and Jesus told him unless a man be born again...so they talked ABOUT being born again JOHN 3:3-5 (except a man be born of the water and of the spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven) but no one was actually born again anywhere in the 4 gospels. Before Calvary they were still under the law but after Calvary they are under under grace. No one could be born again until Jesus had been glorified. (John 7:37-39) This is why the thief on the cross was able to be be with Jesus in paradise. It isn’t until you get to the book of Acts, after the resurrection and when the 1st century church started on the day of Pentecost that you actually witness people being born of the water by being baptized by immersion ONLY in the name of Jesus. And where they saw and heard them be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. So if you want to find out HOW to be born again, the Book of Acts is the only place that you would go because that is the only place anyone was ever actually born again. Acts 21-4,2:38,3:19,8:12-18,8:35-39,10:43-4816:30-34,18:8,19:2-6 In John 3:8 and Acts 2:33 Speaks of how you cannot see the wind but you know that it is moving because you see the branches move and you hear the wind through the leaves. And so is every man that is born of the Spirit. You cannot see the Spirit if God (John 4:24) but when it enters a man you can see the tongue move and you can hear the utterance of them speaking as the Spirit gives the utterance. Whenever God gave a promise he always gave the sign to that promise. In the old testament he made a covenant promise with Noah He would never flood the earth with water again and the sign to the promise was the rainbow. Then God made a promise covenant to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations and the sign of that promise covenant was circumcision. In the new testament God promises us the Holy Ghost and tells the disciples to tarry in the upper room for the promise Bc since Jesus can no longer get be with us He now wants to reside in us. The promos is the Holy Ghost and that sign to that covenant promise is tongues. In James 5 it says that the tongue is the most unruly member of the body. We can damage a person more with our tongues in gossip then we can physically with our fists in a fight.When God has control of our tongue it shows we have submitted our entire being to Him. Fight Fire with Fire 🔥 The Holy Ghost and Fire/Tongues of Fire/Pillar of Fire Bc God is an all consuming Fire. A fireman actually fights huge fires with controlled fires. The evidence of the Holy Ghost is speaking in tongues...receiving it will keep you out of the eternal flames of Fire! 🔥 Then the Epistles are from Romans to Jude. They are letters written to the churches of Saints that have already been born again...Letters written to born-again believers that have already received the acts 2:38 experience. So if you want to find out how to be born again you do not go to the Epistles, only to the book of acts. In some places in Acts and even in the epistles it says to just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Well, believe what? What have the disciples been preaching this whole time?!?!? The Gospel, that’s what!!! What is the Gospel! Going back to first Corinthians 15:1-4 the Gospel is the: 1. death, 2. burial, and 3. resurrection of Jesus Christ. How do we OBEY (action word) the Gospel? 1. repentance (death to self), 2. baptism in Jesus name (burial) and 3. receiving the Holy Ghost (Resurrection) with the evidence of speaking in tongues in Acts 2:38-39 and John 3:3-8. The Death, Burial and Resurrection/Repentance, Baptism and Receive the Holy Ghost theme is thread throughout the entire Bible. In Exodus when the children of Israel were in Egyptian bondage God told Moses to tell them to put the blood on the door post of the HOUSE 🏡 THREE (3) times and then the death Angel would pass over them and the firstborn in their house would not die. It’s the same for us: When we 1. repent 2. Get baptized 3. Receive Holy Ghost The blood 🩸 of Jesus is applied to us each time Bc in Ephesians 2:22, I Corinthians 3:16 and Romans 8:9-11 it says that we are the house of God when He comes to live inside of us. In Leviticus when the Priest went into the TABERNACLE/TEMPLE to perform the ritual for the children of Israel to have their sins rolled ahead one year up till Calvary. The PRIEST applied blood on his body 3 times and he also applied blood on the 3 pieces of the furniture. The Bible says in first Peter 2:5-9 that we are royal PRIESThood . (I Corinthians 6:19) The Bible also says that our bodies are TEMPLES of the Holy Ghost. So it is the same for us: when we 1. repent 2. Get baptized 3. receive the Holy Ghost. The blood of Jesus is applied to us. Obedience or to obey is an action word. We can believe all we want the light will turn on but unless we walk over and turn that light switch on the light won’t go on. (Ephesians 2:8-9) We are saved by faith and not of works lest any man should boast. I was almost 20 years old when I went down into the waters of baptism in Jesus name for the remission of my sin. When I came up out of the water I could hardly breathe because I felt like a brand new baby!! (at this moment, in a natural birth, the water, blood and baby is there but until the you hear the baby cry after taking in that first breath of air it could be still born. So you wait for the cry to know that baby is alive-so is everyone that it’s born of the Spirit) I began to speak in other tongues and could not speak English. It was the most amazing, the most powerful and the most enlightening and cleansing experience I’ve ever had in my entire life!! It wasn’t until at that moment I was truly born of water and of the Spirit. I was finally filled with the power to help me live a victorious life and to conquer many temptations that came my way. (Romans 13:14) When you are baptized you are covered or have put on Christ (Gen 3:21-God clothed or put on the coats of skins of a bloody animal to cover the sin of Adam and Eve), (Romans 6:4) you are buried with Him in baptism, (Acts 2:33, 3:19) you have your sins remitted, (Acts 4:12) you take on His name in baptism Bc the only way anyone was ever baptized was in the name of Jesus. (Matthew 28:19-The name is the Father is Jesus (John 5:43) The name of the Son is Jesus (Matthew 1:21) The name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus (John 14:26) When you take on His name you become his Bride. When you speak in tongues that is the evidence of Jesus living inside of you. (Romans 8:9-16) You are then adopted and become the sons and daughters of God. The Holy Ghost is just a portion of our inheritance. If we do not have His Spirit dwelling in us we are none of His and we will not be taken in the rapture. Those three years between the ages of 17-20 I was living on a repentance experience. “ Leaving Jesus hanging there on the cross” so to speak. (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:14-41, Acts 8:37-38, Acts 10:47-48). I was not obeying the command to be buried with him in the waters of baptism and I had not received the Holy Ghost So I could be resurrected to walk in newness of life. Therefore could not live a productive Christian life. ◦ I do not personally know Derek Prince. But I do not believe he has the authority to tell anybody that they have not truly or fully repented. Only God knows the heart and I am certain that your repentance was just as heartfelt, sincere and genuine as mine. Pastor Prince simply cannot preach a half truth doctrine that gives vulnerable desperate souls the false hope of salvation and then expect them to live a victorious life. That only brings guilt and condemnation upon those individuals. To tell somebody that they are born again when they are not is a very dangerous position to be in. I can honestly say I know the frustration you must feel Bc I have been there, done that and I’m sorry you have been told a lie. Please reply if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I would definitely value your opinion as well. I have taught Bible studies for 35 years and hopefully would be able to be of help if you should have any.

In the season of waiting, a quiet long season where God seems so far away...it gets really lonely 😥😥😥 i have never cried so frequently until this year, it comes in waves some days i can barely make it outa bed, it all started after my miscarriage, the anxiety is terrifying. Such a good sermon for some of us who are lonely, i miss my old self . Sometimes the healing & restoration comes after suffering a great deal 💔.

[@jrodr920]

Whoever is reading this and feel lonely today..you are not alone.. God is with you..always been there for you.. you have come this far for a reason. Trust God.
