The Winning Hand | Bars & Battles | Pastor Steven Furtick

Do you want to have the winning hand? Our series “Bars & Battles” opens by showing us that victory isn’t always about the weapons we have -- it’s how we use them.

[@brittanybrooks430]

"Win the battle with your soul and God will fight your battles with Saul" Best advice ever!

[@chrissydoesthings2841]

4 years later and this is still so relevant ❤️

[@procopiovaldezj.r.3335]

"I've got 99 problems, and Bathsheba is one." That line is underappreciated. #Bars

[@joybelledoringo]

I literally cried while watching this. I'm having a lot of problems now. Thank you so much for this, knowing that God is with me and He will fight the battles for me.

[@djpkkidful]

God's word never expires. Speaking to my life in 2019 still

[@KarawaMedia]

Someone finally makes me relate to the bible differently. A pastor who dresses in the most casual but cool way ever and delivers the deep things of God like no other. Such a blessing to this Generation. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Pastor

[@mariasolomon419]

karawa diary AMEN! YEEEESSSS I TOTALLY AGREE

[@lizrey2101]

[@denisebay5800]

Totally agree 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@nikefadipe313]

Pastor Steven is the best pastor I know... God speaks through him so clearly.. God bless you Pastor Steven for being the vessel! I so love Elevation Church!!!!

[@Chridislu]

My weapon is WORSHIP and God is my SHIELD! Halelujah!

[@michellepowell6822]

The biggest battles we will ever fight won’t stand in front of us; but will be within us! Glory! Jesus died to set us free! Hallelujah! 🕊💪♥️🙏🏼💞

[@TheOriginalMrBadaBing]

"Sometimes I'm fighting against what I should be fighting for." Wisdom I wish I had in my 20's

[@rhemajoyministries6212]

"if i keep my heart at peace it would not matter what spears fly my way... David wasn't watching Saul or the spears.. He is watching God.. and God's hand is in his life. The same love that crowned David has crowned you.. perfect love casts out fear... David had a weapon when Saul's spears start flying. David got behind his shield (the Lord)...Saul cannot kill what Gof has crowned. I got the winning hand and God is my shield...After all that's said and done.. in the midst of all of it, you have a shield.. I am shielded by the power of God." -Pastor Furtick

[@amandaebeigbe193]

God will bless him forever, he's amazing tbh. He changed my life with his sermons, God has crowned me, no spear can touch me

[@thoughtsofgertrude8163]

this has been worth the wait .... am no longer going to fight wat God is using to make me better. much love from uganda pastor

[@berniemixon152]

"Your greatest bars will come from your greatest battles." - Pastor Steven. So epic.

[@joshuaavery6157]

I wish my wife and I could attend on of your services, Mr, Furtick!!

[@calebbritt1183]

I honestly love whoever is sitting in the front few rows of the church and shouting out things like "HAH, set it uuup!" and "Preach it pastor!" We need more people who are willing to verbally praise God and those who are being used by God. We have been given life for the purpose of shouting out our praises to God

[@jessicapabon6692]

I promise I laugh at the same thing and whats funny you can hear him in most of the sermons! Im like man, that guy loves this church and must be the first one in the door to claim his seat! LOL love it!!

[@robertbaisi293]

Am always blessed

[@LP3me]

I agree with you to a point. When i'm sitting through a sermon often times the single person yelling phrases is distracting. I agree with being eccentric with praise and worship but during a sermon, it can be distracting to people who are trying to focus in on the lesson.

[@samanthav8728]

This made me laugh, totally agree! It seems like There’s always one person saying “So Good!” When I watch Bill Johnson there’s a “So Good” guy there too, lol!

[@Donnah1979]

People can be good Christians, even if sit still. And it can be distracting if somebody is just shouting in the middle of the preaching. But I also agree that it's nice to have some enthusiasm and liveliness in the churches. There's a time for everything.

[@jelainescott3700]

This was a powerful message I receive it in mighty name of Jesus. .

[@TheSocialite1]

My praise confuses the enemy 🖐🏾🖐🏾

[@belindageorge69]

This guy knows how to preach to the modern world!

[@lizgarcia6619]

SO good. So soo good! I laughed, I cried, I received. Heard the podcast on my way to work this morning and just watched it this evening. Truly anointed! Thank you for saying yes to the Lord and living in sacrifice.

[@joanneboshe7631]

The LORD is my strength , my Fortress, my Shield, I will not be afraid, Thank YOU FATHER

Amazing preaching, God is good and a God of perfect timing. I really needed to hear this powerful and anointed message. I also love how real and transparent you are pastor. It lets me know I’m not alone and that I’m not the only going through the things I go through, including with my character. May God continue to use you as you continue to be a willing and obedient vessel of His kingdom. God bless you, the ministry and your family
