Amen 🙏!!!
So beautiful message! God bless you
I need to stop reacting or responding before it even happens and whatever happens I shouldn’t lose my emotional focus towards him! I have to allow God to take control and accept his favor. I am blocking his way to get into my heart by constantly worrying about something that’s not in my control but his! This word helped me to see Gods purpose for my life and also how I continue to push him away out of fear or expectations that I’ve created instead of using his word as my shield. Amen!
Amen ! I will continue to do the same. I’m always worried about the what If’s In life that I’m not actually living
@@shawnnakelsey7055 God is working! For us to admit to mistakes or difficulties is progress!
Amen Cheyenne! I have been guilty of the same thing as I’m going through this horrible divorce that I never deserved. God had to make it happen, slammed this door shut so that he could open the door that was truly meant for me.
Thanks for sharing Sis, you are not alone. I allow my emotional response to take over. It distracts the ability to allow God to move. But God! I will operate and speak his word. Blessings
Amen... i am the same way... i keep worrying if my sins are forgiving instead of seeing that anytime i stumble God's holy spirit tells and reminds me to repent
I stumbled on this as I was in the midst of doubting my abilities within a new job. As I was doubting my self worth after yet another failed relationship. This spoke to me so deeply and profoundly. Thank God for his timing.
Anybody who's reading this,
Your next tears will be
TEARS OF JOY God
is Moving on your behalf right now IJN 🙏🏽
Yess i receive this
❤
Yes I receive this word
Amen🙏🏻🙏🏻
I RECEIVE IT IN JESUS’ NAME! He will carry me through this!

I'm feeling stuck and alone with all the battles in and around us. Emotional and physical battles. I need the favor of God to deliver me from the negative way I'm feeling so that I can experience joy again.
Thank you, God, Amen.
Remember Steven said don't be familiar with negative emotions..constant worrying blocks the way of God in our hearts ..don't be familiar with such negativity...allow God to do it for you and believe its done for you
Amen
You got this… I read this today and I feel alone right now as well
Amén!
I avoided watching this video in particular for the last 2 weeks, I was finally ready to receive it today after a friend sent it to me and I am so glad I did. This was the message I needed to stop letting my anxiety and negative emotions rule me out of familiarity. Thank you for this! 🙏🏾
I do that all that the time...but then it hits me that I never should have put it off because regardless it pertains to something in my life at all times...but I'm super stoked you got something out of it and it helped you...I love you girl and the Big Man does too... God Bless
" You are choosing what is familiar and you are chasing away God's favor." Wow. That hit me like a ton of bricks today.
Amen
Amen ~ claim it & glorify Jesus for keeping in the faith to stop me if I am chasing away our Fathers Favor, I pray in your precious Holy name Jesus. Amen

God Bless you, hold on. God works in His own time. Not ours but know that He's there with you. Know He's working through your problems for you. Just like He takes care of the birds and other life He created, He takes care of us too if we allow Him. All you have to do is hold on. God bless you and keep you. ❤️

Even though Im diagnosed with BRAIN CANCER... I WILL FINISH WITH FAVOR.... IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS..!!!
You will!!! God bless you!!! God loves you. Craig praying for you.
I pray the Lord starts to move a fire through your body to attack and burn up this cancer. This is a foreign man made mass that wasn’t created by your creator, The Lord God almighty. I command your body reboot to its original manufacturers specs. That it reset to a healed, whole unbroken body in Jesus name. I command this foreign matter to be gone out of your body in The mighty name of Jesus Christ. May he get all the honor and glory in your healing. Amen. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Sending 🛐 prayers.

Amen
I'm you you're me,this came in time,my next relationship I will look to God for all my answers, Amen ❤🎉❤
Many times I open UA-cam with a broken heart just searching for something. God led me to listen to these messages about six months ago.
I’m forever grateful for the clear Godly guidance that is given in these straightforward messages. I often laugh, more often I am somehow shocked how again each time, that the very word of encouragement I needed was said directly to my heart.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you with Love.
Same I open UA-cam and this pop out and trust me that I going through the worst but I’m here for reason there’s a purpose for all of us
I love Jesus. Everyone reading this let the blessings of God fall on you
I RECEIVE IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS
AMEN🙌

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
Amen
This absolutely broke my heart... familiarity caused me to push away the favour of God. I pray that God may help me shift my focus tonight.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Tee. We are praying and believing with you for a shift in focus. We are so happy that you took the time to watch this message. God bless. ^SF Team
I truly needed this. I kept getting back into a familiar situation with my ex because of soul ties & attachment. However, in redirecting my focus back to God✨ If it’s for me , God will provide; therefore, I shall not stress anymore. It’s time for self discovery and growth, love can honestly come later🙌
Me too

I literally just had a conversation with my sister about how do I get rid of these negative feelings and emotions. Here I turn to this video and it is the answer to my prayers!!! Thank you, Father God for hearing me!!! I desperately needed this!!!
Wow! “Favor feels funny.” Whew! That was a powerful nugget hidden in this great teaching. Then you transitioned to emotional focus... YES SIR! This word was for me! 🙌🏾👏🏾 It’s time for me to focus! 😁🙌🏾🙌🏾
What am I supposed to do to receive the favor of God
I haven’t watched pastor Stevens sermons in a while and today my heart pulled me so hard to come and watch a few sermons and all im going to say is God is real I don’t think I can emphasise this enough. Nothing is coincidental and I believe this. This sermon was meant for me. God spoke to me through pastor Steven.
TODAY, for me, sister!
Amen!
Today for me as well.. I'm used to overthinking so even when I have peace it's not familiar and I just choose something to stress about, it's stressing, but I feel like God just spoke through him, God bless him❤️
Amen
Yes ma’am I totally agree. I fall off of watching and when something tells me to watch a sermon from pastor Steven it always HITS AND SPEAKS TO MY SOUL.
AMEN
I pray that whoever reads this comment God cares about the stress, frustration nd heartache you be experiencing this holiday season.
Thank you so much I needed this reminder
Thank you😘
Amen
While listening to this lesson, I realized that I've been creating chaos and frustration because that is what I've had 95% of my life since I was 3 and I am 52 now.
I am right there with you. Idk how to fix myself anymore. I have lost my kids due to being overly emotional and no one can help me.
Change my emotional focus, change my patterns.
I will finish in Favor, in Jesus name 🤍
Never complain about the

I really needed this... familiarity is the enemy of God's favor." Some of the places that God should be working on...in your life you are letting him do the least. And the reason is we are choosing what familiar, and chasing away God's favor."
Just decided to watch this because I’m feeling defeated, and I needed to hear this! I need your favor lord in certain areas in my life , I can’t do this alone 🙏🏼❤️
I was too familiar with fear and rejection throughout my entire life that this year, I allowed it to be continued until several months ago, when I had to realize that I wasn’t receiving any favor because of my familiarity that I lived in. I am so grateful for God to give me the strength to remove my familiarity and allow His favor to lay in my hands! Thank you Jesus!
Can relate
Can I chat with you about this
This has me in tears right now because i feel like this message was for me. Could someone please pray for me..?
Praying for you, all the negative thoughts and emotions have gone and are covered by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, amen🙏🏾
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@bree8340 thank you
@@ibukundada5685 thank you because i don't really have any i can ask to pray for me so it means a lot..god bless you
@@tigerpita I pray also that God's presence and mighty power will override everything that's not of Him in you in the name of Jesus! You're great, awesome and amazing because God is and you're a child of God!
8:59" my emotional focus determines whether I go to frustration, fear, fighting or favor"
AMEN💯
" You are going to have to let go of certain attachments to familiar things that are blocking God's favor "
God bless you for ministering through you to deliver me from the bondage of negative thoughts and anxiety attacks
God doesn't call
The prepared
God prepares
The called
I love what you just said, it is two very different things. Why, because it shows God knows before we come to him we are NOT at all prepared. So his call would NEVER come if that were the case. We MUST come to him and He is faithful to prepare our hearts for service. I mean who new anything before we sincerely came to him? So dont let the fact that you know you are NOT prepared, so dont let THAT stop you from coming to him today.
Amen
Focusing on negative things only steal our joy, we need to use faith not emotions, I choose God's favor by trusting Him completely no matter what I face, thank You King Jesus ❤️ 💞 ♥️ You bought me at a high price 🙏🙏🇿🇦
This is exactly what I needed to hear! I was stuck for too long! So many years, but now I am starting to look up and experience HOPE through God's Love and power!
This video came at the right time for me. Life gets hard sometimes and our emotions can cloud our judgement in ways that allow the enemy to mess with our mind. But not anymore, I’m choosing to focus on God’s favor♥️
I have a
Big GOD
that can do
Big Miracles
Thank you Father for who You are ❤

I received it today. I am going to accept the Lord’s favor. I will finish with favor. My familiarity was negative thinking to the point of sabotaging God’s blessings. Pray for me in this.
“Are you accepting the favour of God or are you pushing it away because it feels different?” So powerful! Great question!
This is the year🙏🏼🙏🏼
“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” - Helen Keller
An invitation to entertain today with fresh eyes, to empty our minds and open our hearts to what matters most.
Life is often a pursuit to unravel its meaning, although if filled to the brim by agendas, roles, and expectations our ability to discover can be limited. And, there are some who are filled with knowing, and there minds are made up, but an unstudied view can narrow one’s vision, and obscure the ability to see the whole picture.
Use today wisely. It’s no waste of time to pause and give witness to your current experiences and what matters most ... God’s Favor is in your backyard! 💥👏🙂💕☝️
I wish I'd have watched this last night before I had a fight with my husband and chose what was familiar. 🤦😭😭😭
Amen! Releasing what’s comfortable and familiarity for favor 🙏🏽
Amen 🙏 🙏 Amen 🙏
Whoever reading this I pray for you and your family God bless y'all and Merry Xmas ❤❤

They sent me for a MRI scan in a hour and now in waiting for a call to go into hospital for biopsies .
