The problem with deception is that people don't know that they are being deceived

Until they do when their eyes are opened

Romans 8:18 “The pain you’ve been feeling can’t compare to the joy that is coming!” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Whatever is going on right now, have faith, your situation will get better. :) Jesus bless anyone reading this and have a great day!!🥰✨💖

I still remember Pastor Steven saying, Comparison Kills Contentment years ago.

[@MjSaunders777]

This is straight up a Word from GOD in such a timely season💯 Comparison is one of the most destructive things that kills what GOD may be trying to bring up in a delightful lifestyle.

[@tashajackson7552]

Amen 🙏🏾

[@nickjoran781]

Every time I see a couple together and I’m sitting there alone I always watch this guy to avoid being jealous and being happy with what I have and focus more on my goals.

[@markstepanekii388]

You're mistaking envy for jealousy.

[@oco987]

Say it again. This message is for me. When God called me I’m not limited to what I’ve seen in my family, career or life. I’m going further

[@chimakalu41]

9:12 we are not limited by what we see. Amen I receive that.

[@ryankyle2467]

Dear God, give me the strength to worry about my life and not others lives. Please give me the will power to overcome all the hate I receive from other people on a daily basis. And please give me the knowledge to know where my concerns should end and other peoples issues begin!!! Thank you for the wisdom to know what to ask for. Amen!!!

[@pizzapie5968]

This came in correct timing. I was comparing myself to someone better...

[@chimakalu41]

11:22 Exactly. Be careful what you're copying from before when God is trying to bring you into something better.

[@PotentialProphet]

If you’re reading this you’re blessed and this energy in Steven preaching will help you through your situation and praying to God.

[@curtisacarter3284]

I've been very sick with no help. And I got people copying me. They don't know, I excirsise for health not for comparison. I'm fighting for my life and people think it's been a game.

[@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245]

praying for you! I can relate! Jealousy ruins lives and makes people less compassionate! People do not see your suffering when they are jealous!

Thanks for sharing, Heather! That is a testimony in itself! We would love for you to come visit in person one day. 🧡 ^SF Team

[@chilairearts4238]

@@stevenfurtick stop teaching false doctrine. You will be judged more harshly for preaching in error. This kind of preaching never convicts anyone of their sins, so that they turn from a sinful lifestyle and unto Christ. All it does is give feel good pep talks about how you can survive depression and anxiety. Repentance is not just a change in mind it’s a change in lifestyle. If you profess to know Christ you don’t go back and sin and keep on sinning, turning it into a practice. Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. I’m not even going to bother to read the replies because people are just going to bombard me with thou shall not judge blah blah. Go read what Paul said to Timothy and Titus and what he instructed them to do.

[@sharpenInTimeOut]

@@chilairearts4238 Absolutely !!See comments...people are "child of God" without born again.Most are subscribed to channels still unsubscribe to heaven.Matters for Christ Tribunal!

Jesus is the one who gave his life for you! Look to Jesus glory each day Jeremiah 17.5

[@heatherbomar5748]

@@chilairearts4238 keep your comment to yourself. why you feel the need to comment on my comment is crazy. judgement is a sin so what do you have to say about yourself now.

Jesus is my model, I prophesy over myself, I will not copy anyone except Jesus, bcoz he is the perfect one, I had decided it before when I had came in Christ, and it's very true, you will get better results and victorious , praise the Lord, by his grace, holy spirit had decided it in me for me,, I have seen, I became overcomer in everything, even in those things, people could not easily, Jesus has given me different gifts spiritually and Materistically both, he is so gracious, just take a step of courage like Peter, I praise Lord, I am speechless about your goodness ❤❤❤, love you Jesus kiss you 😘😘😘, but remember respect your pastor in this journey., even you have got more than them, bcoz Jesus loves humble spirit.
