I like this!

[@radhikaraj7394]

I like this😊

[@user-vw4bq9gb2s]

To blame would be saying GOD is not in control

[@missjaclynlouise]

@@user-vw4bq9gb2s this is not blaming this is saying that we put faith and trust in the lord even when we can’t see the way through. We are allowing god to guide through which is beautiful

[@DuffleBagForeverCubbz]

This popped up for a reason. Not just for me but for everyone on here who clicked and listened and commented. God first always. Trust! Faith! Believe in him and his doing. The next big thing is him. Give it all to him. Love you brothers and sisters and have a blessed day

[@goodsamaritangaming1997]

I am in a horrible place, a lonely place, an isolated place. The next best thing I can do is keep going to my recovery group. "We admitted we were powerless over our habits and addictions, that our lives had become unmanageable." "We chose to hand over control of our lives to the care of God because our lives were out of control." Paraphrasing

[@MichaelCruz-gy1yo]

Please pray for me to be delivered from a horrible dangerous situation 🙏🙏🙏

[@rmrita55]

Amen

[@brittanybeddingfield6405]

There is nothing too big for God. You reaching out for him and help in recovery is an amazing step forward! It doesn't mean you won't ever slip but you've got this! Sometimes God isolates us to the point where we have no where else to turn but to him. He's doing some amazing things in you and right now, company could hurt you In stead of helping you. You are right where God wants you. You keep moving forward and keep praying! I am praying for you for strength and obedience and for the right people to come into your life and that the wrong doors will be closed and the right doors will be opened in Jesus name!

Watching from Georgia. I first saw you on TV when I was in jail. I've followed you since then and that was almost 2yrs ago. I enjoy getting notifications about your videos because it seems like they come through when I need them the most, like this one. I'm a disabled veteran and a single mother. Life is tough and I do the best I can, even though I feel like I fall short a lot of times. Sometimes I don't know how to connect with anyone, my son, my bf, my family, but God has never failed me. He forgives me, loves me, and will NEVER leave me alone.

[@GofaonePrudence]

Hey, I just wanted to say where there's a will there's always a way, stay strong and always have faith, Abba Father is watching over you and he loves you. Have an amazing Sunday

[@lovemxoxo8435]

Oh, never! How can anyone give up on God? He's our creator, HE'S perfect in everything HE does and has done. HE never gives up on us, for HE gave his one and only SON JESUS CHRIST, to die on a cross for our sins, we owe GOD all we have to give, we owe HIM our love, praise, attention, truth, honesty, faithfulness and much, much more. GOD OUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU, IF I'M WORTHY ENOUGH TO BE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN❤️❤️ LOVE YOU GOD, PRAISE THE LORD....

Prayer for my grandfather🙏🏽 I know God is doing work in his life and will heal him. He got diagnosed with cirrhosis, tuberculosis in his stomach. I ask prayers for him to come to repentance and humble himself before God. He knows God is calling him. Hes been faithful, he received his liver transplant, and continues to fight for his life. Pray blessings over the nurses and doctors who have been caring for him. Thank you God bless, Amen🙌🏽❤️

Hello from France 🇫🇷, so weird to be surrounded by Americans on YT haha. I am going through the hardest time of my life (faith, job, mariage …). The enemy has been spoken in my mind for months. But it’s been one month that, in plus of going to my local church every week, he has made me encountered THIS servant of him. Everyday is indeed a new step and everyday God speaks to me giving me a different daily bread to the point where I just need to open YT app and look at the first video that appears, which is of course always a video of this pastor, that ALWAYS reflects my mind at the very same moment. It’s been one month but it feels like a year, the teaching is too good. Keep on going to church , keep on listening and reading the Word, keep on praying, fasting, praising guys, as the best is yet to come. God bless you Pastor ❤

I've been praying and praying for employment, to getting better mentally and physically. Lately, I've been going on more walks and listening to the word of God and other motivational podcasts, but today I woke up feeling so defeated because it feels like he is taking his sweet time and the moment I opened up KZbin, this was the first video I saw. The timing was just what I needed to remind me do the next best thing while I await for his blessings. Thank you pastor Steven!

And I thank our Heavenly Father for you gift of ministry, the Lord has spoken to me many times with the sermons you provide.
