This was so for me! He said if you think you will never recover after a fall! I fell almost 3 years ago and have not walked since! He mentioned dry bones because of not walking I have a bone disease too! I used to be a Martial artist and professional dancer and never thought I would be in this condition. I used to teach Martial arts and when people couldn't get it I thought whats wrong with them! This message was life changing for me and I am going to watch many times until I get it through my thick head! Please tell Pastor Steven Thank you!

“Be careful what you judge me for today. It might be knocking on your door tomorrow” so many Christians say “just pray” when it comes to anxiety and depression which I’ve suffered from since being abused as a child. It’s not that easy! Thankfully my Father in Heaven has my back and will never, no never leave me. God is not like people and I’m so appreciative of that!!

[@kellihanfield8642]

Your not alone

[@mooret212]

I hate when people say just pray about it. It seems so dismissive and I have had to watch when I say pray. Because many of us are still praying and crying out to God. But be encouraged. Keep meditating on God's Word. Know that the enemy wants us to believe lies and derail our destinies. We will overcome. I say we because I am battling anxiety and the spirit of fear and have been feeling depressed even though I know God delivered once before. Thank God He is not like people and His love is unfailing!!!!!!

[@victoriaogletree4669]

To Glow up Blog, God bless you, you are the apple of God's eye. His name is greater than what we've been through. Have you heard of Joyce Meyer's testimony, and Paula White? They're experience is like yours. My prayer for you and for many that the Lord will continue to lead you to true ministries, people and a safe place to heal and be free. The past is like a bad dream that tries to haunt, but I was encouraged today to learn more about the power of the blood of Jesus. The safest place is in your praise. When the battle is present pull out your best praise songs and battle with your praise satan can't stand!!!! You will experience peace.

[@Jo-lp1px]

I’m so sorry you suffered through that. I pray that the Lord supernaturally looses that trauma from your soul and subconscious, heals all of those moments in time and fills those voids where people failed you with His glory. Also professional counselors are excellent at helping you process and heal trauma. In severe cases medication can help bring relief and stability. The church means well but is usually ignorant of these matters. They will learn more one day. Love you sis 💕🙏

In April I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I must admit I haven’t had much faith in anything for a long time. My mother who stayed with me day in and day out while the doctors worked to save my life would quietly watch these videos as I rested. This is the first one that caught my ear. I asked her to sit closer to me and let me watch. I would like to thank you for all the work that you’ve done. I may not be a man of faith but these words hit something. Thank you.

You just plucked a lot of people out of hell with this sermon. I really needed to hear this. I have had depression since last year and your sermons are the only thing keeping my head above water. Christian's can be so quick attack you when they hear you have depression, they don't believe that a true Christian can have it. They tell you that you need to get guidance from someone, that you need to change your thinking process, that you are not right in having negative emotions sometimes. It can be so disheartening Please be loving and understanding of one another

I am a recent follower of Elevation church, I was introduced at a very crucial time in my life. I have CKD but have only began dialysis since March. I experienced the first worship service during my first treatment. I have since that moment watch it live on Sunday but also watch three times a week during my dialysis treatment. I am so thankful for Pastor Steven he is a true messenger of God, each sermon speaks to me no matter how recent or in the past. That is affirmation of how legitimate the word of God is for our lives, a life that we would be so lost if not for His presence, Love and amazing Grace.

[@staya922]

I had anxiety attacks every week for years. I lived in secret tormenting fear. It was extremely awful. I felt like noone believed me when I thought I was dying on my weekly trips to the ER. Panic and fear are so real. I didn't know who God was and that he loved me personally. Once I cried out to God and he rescued me, showed me who he is and he knows my name and he cares fir me I decided to go all in and trust the entire word. I don't understand it all but I read faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God so I constantly studied the word. I found out a lot of things, like perfect love casts out fear because fear brings torment. I asked God to help me understand perfect love because I never really felt love. He is faithful and after 7 years I am still free from those tormenting spirits of fear. Hope and faith and love in God and from God changed my entire life! I am praying you grasp the knowledge of the unrelentingly love of your daddy God and walk in faith. You are bold as a lion. Call things that be not as though they were. In Jesus name!!!!!

And most of all I’m in so much pain because in my naive little world I NEVER thought anyone could treat me so badly for everything that goes wrong in their life. I honestly don’t comprehend it. BUT NOW I must say that although all this is going on, I know God will deliver me and watch over me. I trust in Him.

Nicholas Loyal Hi Nicholas, I read this 10 months later. I want you to be encouraged. I am overcoming ADHD. Since I was young, I had terrible depression, now I am a lot older, I look back and and see that the Lord kept me. I was referred to this book called: You mean I'm not lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!" Their second book, 2006. Written by two women who have ADHD Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo. It was hard to read the book but I finally skipped to the part to what can I do? Things began to accelerate. There are over lapping systems you may be facing. Look up this book at Amazon to pre read and borrow from library. Chapter 4 is: I know . . .I think . . .I have ADHD: What do I do now? They describe your job as a Mental Health Consumer. I have seen so much results in online seminars and other book referrals. I will seek coaching and I want to eventually train as a coach helping others. Best wishes.

I grew up in a loving family that goes to church every Sunday, I can also say that our family has been blessed with more than what we are asking. But then when I was 17, something happened that brought a terrible impact in the family. God put my family in a situation that we never thought we would one day experience. My mom got sick, we had terrible financial problems, relationship and communication among my siblings have been difficult. But then, the good God I knew when I was just a little girl at church, is the same good God that will never put me in situations he knew you will never ever conquer without him. He is the good God who sees the potential of my faith in him. Therefore, we should always put God first in everything we do, no matter what the situation is because as the bible says in Psalms 126:5, "They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy."

Amen. I believe that pain has a purpose . We often experience pain to make us stronger and show us what we’re made of. Life will knock us down but Jesus will always pick us back up. He will never forsake us. The pain that you feel is temporary just keep trusting and holding the faith.

[@annamaria8731]

Hallelujah!! I am forgiven and I am loved, not on my performance... which is riddled with mistakes, but out of His purpose on my life! Thank you Jesus my pain and mistakes don't change the way you see me!

[@petersenliza8422]

No one deserves this kind of LOVE - But who am I to argue with God - the ONE and only True God...The Almight y Father...

I find these words so inspiring. The new perspective on Peter rocks my 💙 heart. My faith is being tested presently. And I found Pastor Steven on twitter. I told my husband recently I have found my spiritual home with Elevation Church. I was born into a traditional Catholic family. My mother is a beliver in Darwinism, eugenics and Chemistry. We fight all the time. My dad is awesome and great friends with the bishop of prague

Hi pastor Stephen. The message has spoke to me as I have been going through many trials n tests n it has been one after the other. Also suffering pain from those who r meant to love me yet they treat me like rubbish. Pains from teenage children and family members also. It like I have had my fair share of pain this last 3 yrs. God has a calling on my life and wants to use me greatly as he even shows me in dreams what he wants me to so and then confirms it in his word. So you have spoken yo me that God will not change his mind about me or what he has placed in me and even that the gifting he has for me he hasn't changed his mind about it he still wants me to do it n I just have to surrender basically. Cos God has been getting louder speaking to me that I cannot run from the calling anymore. It is his will for me and I am here to be used by God here on earth. To bring Gods kingdom down here. It has been very hard tho pastor Stephen..when God has a call on your life it is not easy. It actually is very hard. U dont just step into it. U are taught by God and he shows you n teaches you until you are ready. It is a hard walk to walk following Jesus Christ. Those who think it is easy you are very much mistaken. You will suffer persecution you will have pain n suffering. It is not an easy walk but I say to God I choose him every time. Every time I choose God. No matter what I am going through even tho sometimes I have felt like giving up I then just think about when God has been there for me and I just carry on in God. I feel the devil has tried to sift me like wheat and he has nothing on me. The devil tries to hinder you but you tell it to flee n get mad at the thing cos it has already been defeated. Tell it you know it has an end and that is in the book of revelation. The devils end. Jesus is my lord n my savior. I choose him every time. No matter what. And I tell you it has been alot. I have sacrificed so much. It is hard. Very hard. But I will serve my Lord all the days of my life. I love my God.

[@infinite9100]

When I think “never” I ask myself “why not?” God is good. Amen. 🙏🏻

[@elevationchurch]

Yes Kai, God is good like that! Blessings🧡^EC Team

[@jansenoliveira7005]

From Brazil watching this great message. God is good all the time, when he says never he means never, he will never abandon us.

[@taylorshaw176]

Pain is the gift of wisdom. It takes alot of pain to understand that their is such growth in the pain. I lost both my parents, my childhood home and faced an evil addiction to drugs. I was homeless before my eyes. I got up and fought through that pain of everything. I knew deep down I could break the cycle and today almost 2 years clean!

[@lindadove4811]

I've been watching Biblical Hebrew to understand my personal attack. Not many know about this. It was covered up. Thank you for you sermon it is the start of an amazing journey. I have always been a child of God, His beautiful gift of Love is what my name means and when I unknowingly married a man in sacrifice I set my stones to be uncovered in a "magical" way. I am starting a project on Isaiah. Everything is getting in my way, it seems but God always provides. Thank you.

[@chelseaurbina7874]

Watching pastor Steven sermon before i sleep is the best thing.... I FEEL BLESSED RN

[@charmainewagner3579]

The word never means to fail.The pain dissapointment 😢But in Jesus name and strength we keep trying.Be blessed😆

[@recardoroberts943]

Potential of pain is a awesome message for me and those who’re experiencing pain due to: relationships temptation failures. Thank you Lord for who you see us as. Not broken, unworthy but u us through Jesus Christ in your perfect love. Amen

[@melaniesteward1573]

Wow! Powerful message! Thank you God for NEVER!! I've been in a place of battle for 4.5 yrs but recently, God showed me to NEVER to give up on Him or what He can do!! Thanks to Him, I'm a winner!!

[@robgreen5650]

I’ve heard a lot of preaching in my life but Pastor Steven’s preaching leaves me speechless. Thankful!!!

[@garciamcnally5714]

Thank you Jesus for reminding me that Your never, means never while mine is simply words

[@arinameyer9806]

Thank You God!!! Thank You my saviour. You will never never give up on me! 28 March '24 South Africa

[@lisajordan377]

With several 'nevers' colliding, God pointed me here; what a word! I see that God has been peeling away the layers and still sees the potential He put in me. He will work all things for good in his purposes, according to the original blueprint. I'd given up on it but He showed me He never did. He has shown me before He is faithful - I wouldn't be able to watch this if He wasn't - so I choose to trust Him now with my pain. PS Thank you for shouting over truth - I need it : )

[@dauntecetasaan9713]

He really ministers to me.

[@jeaneesra9182]

God's words & Pastor Steven sermons are relate through every season of my life. Not only when he preached it, but it relates even now, in 2022. Praise GOD 🙌❤❤

[@moniquepage2691]

You have to be careful of what you Judge others ON!!! Yeeess! We must!!

[@sprayedbypam2443]

My God’s never is the only acceptable never 🥺💛

[@ashlynnmank1344]

I have been dealing with an insane amount of anxiety. I got in my car to drive home and the GPS said it would take 29 minutes. I thought about watching this sermon but I didn’t want to start it and have to stop it once I got home. It’s only 29 min! God is great

[@lionofjudah4114]

I feel sorry for those in religion as they cant grasp that Jesus Christ is GOD. As GOD is supernatural he can do anything. Dont under estimate the power of GOD. For he is sovereign. He is mighty. He is powerful. He is amazing. He is love. He is forgiveness. No idol can forgive u of sins. God is I AM

[@jenifermensah220]

Sitting here at 3 something in the morning before getting ready for work, what a beautiful way to start the day. You are truly anointed Mr. Furtick. Blessings to you and your ministry. 😇

[@vukosimabuza9161]

When I was going through a tough time at school I had so much pain. But he came to my rescue.

[@vekiebaking-shelton1452]

Whew Jesus! Be careful what you judge me for, you never know what will come knocking at your door

[@nyricanlopez73]

Sometimes I dont tell my kids certain things, untill its going to happen- because I think I want to see how they react or experience things. I guide them-and I believe in what Pastor Steven says that Jesus didn't tell the disciples everything untill that day! And it makes sense maybe they would of changed thier minds on following Him. They would of missed out on there Calling(s).

[@ryanstevenson7201]

I just want to say Thank You, for all the hard work and time You put into delivering Gods Word, relating to this Day and Age, I Am grateful for The Entire Elevation Staff! May God continue to bless Your Ministry!

[@belindawilliams2388]

This is so relevant even today...They're pretty but they're plastic and hollow!!! Even Jesus experienced rejection, tribulation, and persecution. He says "be of good cheer for I have overcome the world!!" And I know that he will never leave me, No Never leave me nor forsake me! Thank you Lord Jesus for your faithfulness!!
