You Don't Have To Prove Yourself | Pastor Steven Furtick

[@CeoMichaelAWyche]

To anybody who’s reading this I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Please follow to be inspired

[@bekbeks7]

"Sometimes there are things inside you telling you that you are not enough and since you feel like you're not enough, you start trying to do all this stuff to prove that you are enough. The problem is, the people that you're trying to prove it to aren't even paying attention, because they're so busy trying to prove to somebody else who isn't paying attention, who isn't paying attention to the other person. But now we're all posting and proving, but inside dying." So true and I needed to hear this 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@reneemoun]

Doulos of Christ Jesus but thinking about it realistically it makes sense. For example, if your thoughts go to an area of judgement or self hate you can’t say that remaining in that state of mind is correct. The Bible teaches against judging people and judgment starts in the mind. God Bless ❤️❤️

[@oterosocram25]

What do you mean always on time? In this day in age where the world is flooded with technology and people are bombarded with social media, a preaching about social media and its addiction to it it's like 1:1 ratio. It's obvious that that's the case. We don't need a preacher, but the Word of God to tell us that we are skewing towards the things of the world more than to Him. Be very careful with Mr. Furtick lots of Narcigesis.

[@stephendverner]

Wow, you just summarized what's been going on inside me for the last 45 years. Even though I grew up in a Christian home, went to church all the time, got saved as a kid, loved God, went overseas as a missionary for a short time, I still felt that fraudulent syndrome in my soul just didn't know what to call it. Just getting to the point where I am ok to just be authentic and let the grace of God shine through me. People don't need to see perfection. They need to see the process of the King perfecting me day by day. I feel like I am living more authentically than ever before. But every once in a while I still feel that need to front. I feel like I am getting better about recognizing it and squashing it with authenticity.

Sadly too many pastors won't preach on that, they are to busy being politically right & too scared that they might lose alot of their members. One of their priorities is not to be preaching on righteousness & also why alot of their members still have issues!

[@tribalminimalist1127]

The movie, "Remember the Goal" (2016) led my heart to seek further on the question -What do you do when no one believes in you? And there are lots of motivational speeches on believing in ourselves and proving others wrong. But my intention was not that either. I was hungry for something that comes from the pure truth of Biblical principles. Then I found this sermon. It completely satisfied my search for the appropriate answer from a true Christian perspective. I love it so much and I'm greatly blessed.

Does anyone else think that the imposter syndrome is actually good for you because it keeps you humble and more dependent on God?

[@oterosocram25]

A psychological term does not keep you humble, is the Holy Spirit by the Word of God and obedience to Him.

[@Lily.valkyrie]

Think about Paul in jail. Think about Job. True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. We are called by God to have joy through trials and suffering. The Spirit will give you humility. Our own ideas of humility are often just prideful ideas of what we think we SHOULD be.
