It Had To Happen | Pastor Steven Furtick

When a crisis occurs, often our first reaction is to question God and ask why it had to happen. But what if there’s a better way to respond? Discover how learning the right response to a situation is often more important than learning the reasons behind it.

[@HeyitsMinzie]

Today i was going to commit suicide... Alot has been happening to me that i am unable to bear and i tried everything to feel ok but each day it gets worse. Coming home from work yesterday i told God give me a reason that i should be alive because this was the last of it ...and i woke up today and saw a clip of this vid on instagram, didn't know who this preacher was but someone commented his name and now im here. I think i needed to hear this message. God is so good, he's just reminding me that he still listens even though no one else did and i thank you for this message. You have no idea how much u saved a life today

I just asked my ex if we can get back tgt. I always knew that we werent what God intended for me, but I still kept crawling back. Prior to our break up, I asked God to make her do it because I couldnt stand to break her heart... and then she did. I still couldnt take the no. When i asked her if we could try to make it work, she said no. It broke my heart. But it had to happen. Im still learning to live with it. Pls pray for me 🙏

[@anony999ify]

Today I woke up feeling broken. Helpless and so alone. Myself and my young family have been battling a crisis which had had us loose everything from our home to our jobs due to an unfair justice system. I've held on to God for so long but this morning I wept and my soul groaned in agony for all we have had to deal with and how we have become shadows of our actual selves. I cried out to God. I asked him for mercy for reason to hold on. I've done all the right things and cant understand how this is a part of his plan. Then after I prayed it was silent but I still believed like i always do. Then the notification for this message pops up on my phone and I know it's for me. Thank you pastor Stephen. I felt like our destiny had taken such an unfortunate detour and this message has reminded me that no matter how broken I may feel, am not alone and God is taking me somewhere. I just have to keep trusting even if I now live in a spare bedroom with my family from a 5 bedhouse - it had to happen!. Thank you God for not leaving me alone.

I had an anxiety attack the other night & wasn’t able to stop crying, questioning everything i was going through & out of no where i felt a warm presence & a calm. I then realized i kept seeing Jeremiah 29:11 thought out that day (about 4times) but didn’t pay attention to it until after my anxiety attack. I grabbed my bible to read it & i realized no matter what i was going through & how i felt god had a plan for me & it wasn’t to hurt me so i shouldn’t stress worry nor feel anxious about anything but to trust & have faith that he has a greater plan.

This is my favourite sermon ever. It has touched my life in ways I can’t even describe. I’ve watched it several times in the last 5 years as I fight a battle that has completely broken me. I pray that one day I can look back and say it had to happen because right now I feel like it shouldn’t have happened and I keep reverse engineering every decision that has led me to this point and every day I’m in mental and emotional anguish and I’m begging God for a miracle. I pleading with God to rescue me from this because I have no one and nowhere else to turn. I’ve done my best and I’ve given my all and I’m tired.

[@angiejablonski5014]

My son and I are going through a serious storm right now and hoping for a miracle. I am doubting that our Lord sees my tears, hears my fears, and I ask why in 22 years of being a single mother with no help from the father why I don't deserve a happy and good life. All I have done was financially struggle and have never gotten paid my worth and value with anything I have ever done. I raised my son with a learning disability, left a domestic violent marriage, and went through stage 2 colon cancer. I go to church, I pray on bended knee morning and night, and now we have to find a new home. Why don't my son and I deserve a good and happy life? Lord Jesus hear me, see me, shield and protect Cody and I, and please allow me to bless lives through this storm.Amen

[@01234567891011121331]

I love the sermon so much! Also when Steven furtick was preaching about when the snake bite Paul, and 3 days later the healing came from the same hand. (After jesus suffered. 3 days later he rose from the grave, to bring salvation and healing to everybody) In the old testament we have the same picture with moses, when the Israelites disobeyed God and snakes came to kill them all, moses talked to God asking for Forgiveness, so God Gave a way of healing through the eyes of a snake in a rod. (Sorry for my English) If they were bitten they had to see the rod to get heal. That's the representation of jesus. In the 2 circumstances. Jesus is the representation of The forgiving of our sins, and healing from our sins I love how God is so almighty and will bring so many different revelations, out of one single passage is true that the word is alive.

In the last 10 years I lost my husband and my mother within 3 years then had a toxic relationship with whom I was gonna marry, and have been disowned by my son's( hopefully not much longer). But today I was Blessed by my Father God and got a message from my youngest. They don't want to talk still but the fact that I have been praying about them and God blessed me once again! He is my Rock and he hasn't left me or forsaken me. And if he did that for me, he will for all who Believe on Christ Jesus! Thank you Lord for all your many blessings! Amen!

It had to happen. A bit but I'm not bitter. Please pray for me as I go through a divorce battle, a storm that I wasn't prepared for. Endless crying sleepless nights. This is my Malta and I'm stuck.

I have been in Malta in my marriage life. What I did not expect has happened to me. The words of God are powerful. I didn't stay in Malta, I was stationed there; because what the devil meant for evil God has turned it into a blessing. Please pray for me to forgive those who harm me. I love this ministry, may the blessing of God continue to follow you, Pastor Furtick!

[@elevationchurch]

@Marie Lamartiniere, thank you for joining us and for sharing some of your story. We agree with you in prayer, asking God to come along side you and see how much forgiveness He has to pour out on you.
