Can I know what was the song at the end of this sermon during the live stream on Sunday? It isn't on this video but I am trying to find it.

Benjamin, the song at the end of the sermon was the hymn, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Thomas Obadiah Chisholm. You can re-listen to the sermon (including the hymn) at the end, here: live.elevationchurch.online/

I was at a coffee shop this morning, trying to break the routine, and I got hit with sensory overload so fast that I spiraled into a mild anxiety attack. But I get to write about what I'm feeling, and I start going over all the stories I was telling myself at that moment (I'm a writer, so stories are what I do best, but it turns on me sometimes, you know?) So anyway, I packed up and drove home in tears because I just wanted a break from the routine, and I ended up having a rough time in this coffee shop where I was looking forward to getting some writing done. That was this morning at 10am-ish, and I watched this video at 8pm and could not believe how loud God was in this message. The parallels in this message specific to storytelling and narration and English altogether, like, come on, God, I got it now! I mean, this was SO incredible that I'm about to watch it again, and it's only been about an hour since I finished my first watch (lol), but I was so into it the first watch that I couldn't even take notes, so here I go again. "Thank you" does not seem like enough to cover what I am feeling thanks to this message. This church is fantastic!! Sending love from Miami!

It was SO AMAZING when Pastor spoke to the woman that always yells out during his teachings. I made a comment about how much I just love her enthusiasm for God a few weeks ago and realized in the comments I wasnt the only one that felt that way and then Pastor said the same thing to her on this Sunday morning!! Lol I guess we have all grown to love her even though we don't even know her!! Everytime I hear her shout out it makes me smile and just wanna hug her! If she ever sees this I want her to know that she is touching more people than she could ever imagine!! God bless

Thank you so Much Pastor Steven, my name is Duray Seafield, I have been watching your sermons for the past few months now, I was able to get my Mom to check you out, I got my wife to watch Holly's sermons and it has helped and encourage her so much, she was battling with depression and I too had a similar experience but God has annointed you to bring this word to me, my relationship has strengthened with him from being an atheist to now loving Jesus more and more each day, each second of my life walking with him and changing myself for him. I thank you for being a vessel for God to be my source of encouragement everyday.

Yesterday, discouragement and doubt tried to hit my husband and I so hard...but we did something different than we've done before.. I heard my Father say, "begin to speak My Word in this battle to defeat the enemy who has been intercepting the answer I've already sent you". And it all just "clicked" for me in that moment. I began speaking His Word and His Promises over our situation and seriously rebuking the enemy and reminding him exactly where his place is according to God's Word! My husband (who has been down hearted as his Mom has been recently diagnosed with an aggressive liver cancer, and we are staying with her in Chapel Hill this week while she undergoes daily radiation treatments) he grabs my hand, and lifts his other hand and with tears streaming down his face, he begins praising our Father and declaring His Promises with me in agreement.... we went on the offensive this time...we got mad at the enemy and his tired, same old tactics and I'm here to tell you, we received a breakthrough!!!!! When we woke up today, small but mighty miracles began flowing, pertaining to our specific situation!!!! Our Faith is increased, we've broken a defeated mindset....even our children got silent and watched as we were speaking God's Word in authority!!!! And afterwards they began asking questions that we were able to confidently answer and teach them... my middle son (9 years old) says, "Mom, you sounded like a preacher" haha!!! God's anointing fell on our family!!!!!! It was truly beautiful!!!!!!!!! Now, we know how to fight spiritual warfare!! And it was the first time for us as a family.. we woke up feeling lighter today and with a renewed mindset! HALLELUJAH GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!

[@brittanyfromNC]

@@Benjamin-un1wl I do not see in God's Word where baptism is a requirement to be saved. My understanding of baptism is that it is an outward representation of an inward change. I received Jesus Christ as my savior when I was 15 years old. A lot of things changed in my life at that time. I no longer wanted to do some of the things I was in the habit of doing. I no longer wanted to be around the same people I was used to being around because my heart was now interested in pursuing all Jesus had to offer but my "friends" did not have the same interests as me at that time. My church had a "baptism Sunday" coming up and the way it was explained to me was like this. My heart and life had just gone through this amazing change, and getting baptized was a way to announce that change to the world(or..at least those that were around me that would witness the baptism). Going into the water represented my old habits, sins, shame...etc. being burried and forgiven by Jesus' sacrifice and blood that He shed. And coming out of the water represented that I was a NEW creation in Him!! So I personally was excited to be baptized and to announce this awesome change that had taken place within me. Now, saying all of that, there are many situations where someone has accepted Jesus as their savior, but were unable, physically to be baptized with water. For example if someone is on their death bed when they accepted Christ, but are too sick or weak to get out of bed, I do not believe that when they die, God is going to reject them for not being dunked in water. I do believe that baptismal is something to be excited about....nothing to dread.. but I don't believe it is a salvation issue! I hope this answers your question!

I was serving time for my 4th DUI and my dad had just died a month before on April 3, 2020 and it was may 2020 . I wish I could say that his passing was the reason I started using but that would be a lie . I’ve struggled with addiction most of my adult life but I started using herion in September of 2019 . I’ve overdosed 6 times and it’s only by the grace of God I’m here to write this comment!!! So many people I know were not so fortunate. Anyway long story short I’ve been clean for a while now but at my lowest I asked Jesus to please help me and I can’t do this on my own and then I began watching your preaching everyday sometimes more than once a day !!!! I just want to say thank you and I thank God for you !!!! You’re so real and humble and funny and anointed and you’ve changed my life for the better!!!!

I have been watching your sermons for a couple years now, and your messages have gotten me through SO MUCH. I’m 24 years old and for the first time in my life, feel confident enough in my faith to follow the Lord. I live in California but recently felt God really putting it on my heart to move to North Carolina. I dont know anyone out there, and it’s crazy to think I’m making this move, but I feel like I need to follow this calling. The walk I have been living for years now, hasn’t been very “Christian”, but for the first time in my life, I’m ready to trust that God has a plan. Im leaving my fiancé (I love him to death but life is pulling us in different directions. I have felt for quite some time that he is not who God has in store for me. I want to pursue the Lord and the plans He has for me, and my fiancé isn’t interested in growing in his faith… He has been extremely supportive of me wanting to follow what I feel God is calling me to do, and we agreed we can remain friends and see where life takes us, which makes me so relieved because he’s been my best friend for 5 years now). As crazy as it is to me, that I’m walking away from the life I have had since I was 11 years old, to move somewhere completely unknown to me, I feel like I should be terrified, but I feel nothing but peace. I’m so excited to see what God has in store. Thank you, Elevation church and Pastor Steven for uploading your services, as they have been the only thing I have been able to grasp onto over the years of trial after trial. I’m finally ready to surrender my life to the Lord and serve Him completely 🙏🏼

[@grammaroffherrockerreacts1122]

I'm 55 years old. I started watching Steve Furtick in 2018 after a spiritual awakening on my death bed. I always knew OF God but never knew God until the last 4 years. Steve Furtick is a Person that God knew I needed. I was never much of a Bible reader because I never had a Bible in my house as a Child. I have stayed committed to Steve's Sermons since 2018 and I have learned so much about God and In addition have learned about Myself. I was always gifted as a writer/Song Writer and I am working on my own U-Tube Channel. 2021 has been really hard for me. I lost my Son in March, a Daughter in July and my Mother in August of 2021. I have always wanted to write a Book my whole life but never did. Why? Because my Story has nothing to do with what I Thought I was going to write about. Its a whole New Topic. Its about what God asked me to do.. Well at first I was confused I thought I was going crazy so I ignored Gods voice.." My Own " that was very very soft and Gentle I may add. I told him to go away and I was confused. That was in April of 2018. I didn't hear from him for over 2 months. And then One day I was in my bed writing " "Christian Rap " I don't know where the words were coming from. A pastor even messaged me one day and asked me why I was writing Christian Rap. The only thing I could say to the Man was " I have no Idea " that day I looked up to my bedroom ceiling and said. God, What do you need me to do? And then I heard him giving me so many orders I had to pick my pen up and write notes. I then looked up and said " oh so you think your funny now hah? I'll tell you I never would've thought he was filled with a sense of humor. So, I have been writing since and It shouldn't be long until I can finish this book as long as he gives me the time I have the time. It hasn't been easy working for the Man I'll tell ya. He knows what he wants and he tosses me pennies from Heaven " not the Title by the way " I had 3 urns with my family in them so I flew from Florida back to Massachusetts to bury my Mom and Daughter. Before the airport I watched a short clip of Steve saying " for only 3 minutes talking to God in a day he can change 30 years of your life. On 1/27/2022 I sat on the plane with my daughters Angela's Ashes on my lap and talked to God for the last hour of the flight. God put me on the right seat. The airplane staff moved my seat because they said I needed to strap my daughters urn in a seat.. " I told them. She don't need a strap she already has wings. She has Angel wings on her Urn. My daughter was in School to teach others the Word of God and her spirit was strong . she just wanted to be buried with her Dad and Grandmother "my Mom " My new seat next to me was a Man that wrote songs just like me. It Definatly made the flight much easier. Now I'm in Mass but He's telling me I need to be somewhere else. So I've been soul searching all day and Thinking to myself I,ll know what to do when God tells me. (Ofcourse in his own time). My son Matthew was 33 when he died in March.He always said he was a Prophet from God and on March 8th told his twin sisters he was going to die that month that week .. He died 4 days Later on March 12th. So Now I know he was on a mission. Matthew left Letters behind talking about God that will be included in my Book. And the Title of my Book was in My Sons Bible in "Bold" and its like I got smacked in the face with my sons Bible. My Daughters Bible Schools Teacher in Vermont invited me to their church when the Book is done . She told me a lot of the Girls will stay in the program if they read my Story.. The Doctors said I would die in 3 months in 2018 and I'm still here. Why? Gods helping me cause I'm not exactly very healthy. People ask me.. How do you Cope with all these losses? And I tell them believe me if I didn't have God I wouldn't be able to Cope..People look at me crazy when I say "God is Real" I just look back at them and say Your the crazy one if you don't think he is. 😇💯💥🙏💔💔💔❣👣👣👣

My son had been a saved Christian in the last few years. He went through trials that nobody I know could withstand. He sent me a podcast by Steve Furtick. I. The past month we have both said that these sermons are chain breakers through Jesus Christ. I am newly redeemed. I am coming to Las Vegas to hear the preaching in October. I have given up social media and filled it with Elevation Church. I admire how a Steve always lifts Holly up- she is a phenomenal preacher too. Praise God for your ministry

I’ve got God’s back, not the other way around. God is with me through the spirit but it’s still all about Him. His work not mine. His truth not mine. He is the truth and the light.

[@shoshanas5251]

I have been so weary the last couple of wks as our 11 month old keeps waking up at 2 am and stays up for 2 hrs. The lack of sleep and juggling of chores with 4 kids took a toll and started to hear the enemy’s condemnation. And, Boy, was it so loud! I started to descend into despair. Im happily married and truly love serving the home so why am I all of a sudden feeling this way? I am under attack. So this teaching came at the perfect time. Thank you, Abba, for sending your message thru Pastor Furtick. I am reminded to tell myself of the true story of my Father’s faithfulness and how he came thru for me countless times before. And to keep going coz I have purpose and assignment to attend to. Yah’s got my back!💪🏼

[@cate9745]

I just had an incident at the Beverly Hills hotel I play my sermons loudly every single morning at my gym in Pennsylvania people love it I can see people getting a quick word unexpectedly A man came up to me and said Hi beautiful sermon can you put on headphones that is divisive. I said certainly not I want people to hear something and as a matter of fact this one’s for you. And I turned it up . Wow. Put your head phones In cause I will NEVER STOP. Never. This is part of my purpose spreading the word how ever I can even thru u. People offended by word of god but not trash music and other garbage . The part about “what you let into your mind” must have struck a chord and they panick and try to shut it down. I started praising god down there in that gym saying PREach boy Come on! Thank you God! I’ll bring Pennsylvania to this god less place !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤

I watched this for the second time in a long time a friend in my e-group reminded me and suggested I watch it because it’s been a rough couple of weeks. I’ve been ready to give up, honestly trying to tune out the voice of the enemy and we were talking about tuning more into Jesus And I told her what’s been going on and she suggested I watch this I appreciate and I needed this reminder. Pastor Steven and Holly. I love you guys and I thank you this is definitely been an encouragement. God bless you both and your family and all your staff. Blessings. Christina ❤

[@alessandracastro5301]

Pastor Steven! You have been anointed by the Lord. I had been rehearsing so many stories of what others would think about me, not knowing that doing so, was writing it all on my heart. I got to the point where what God said didn’t feel like the truth anymore. I struggled with so much fear and anxiety that I got to a point just like Elijah. But!! God has USED your sermons to reach me when I had nothing else to hold onto. Thank you!!! Your energy and messages have been allowing me to realize that God’s story for my life is what is true. And not anyone else’s. I’m remembering the promises he has for me! The Word of God you preach is POWERFUL! The Holy Spirit used your sermons to reach me!!!! Thank you for helping during difficult times! God bless you and your family and elevation church!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you pastor Steven. God has used you to chastise me over self pity and insecurity caused by my "I" stories. It's been a refreshment on perspective. Helping me to see the overall story instead of just my part of the story. God bless you and your family. Your obedience to Him in the Word is admirable.

I don’t understand how. My sister is so dang hateful to all of us. Yesterday we went out to eat to celebrate our birthday, and she straight up told our mom, “I don’t like you. I don’t want you at my house. I hate you. I hate being around you…..” and the like. She’s so hateful that my niece has become an agnostic. Says she’s been praying for her mom and “says God doesn’t have our back. He doesn’t even exist.” How can you make a 9 y/o see the blessings He does give when we’re all treated like crap??

[@bridgethardwick7928]

I’m dealing with a Jezebel. Now I’m not perfect, by any means and you’ve sent a great sign this morning! She is trying to destroy the civility of our situation. I’ve been angry and I’ve been guilty. I’ve been dumb but I follow what God would want to the best I can. Sometimes I give up and I fought hard for a long time. Thank you for the sermon ❤️‍🔥
