      Sometimes as parents we forget the little people we are raising are also our brothers and sisters in Christ. During the shutdown my children and I had communion at our kitchen table. My then 14yr old son broke the bread looked me straight in the eyes and said "this is the body of Christ broken for you, take and remember the Lord. This is the blood of Christ shed for you take and remember what Christ did for you." I couldn't keep it together. I broke down crying because at that moment he was no longer my son but my brother in Christ.. thank you Pastor Furtick for sharing this tender moment of my little brother's new journey in Christ! Congratulations Graham!!! God bless!!!

      “How to beat addictions and stop watching inappropriate videos for the followers of Jesus Christ!”- (A step by step guide to Fasting!)
      (Introduction to fasting)- “what is fasting?”
      “Fasting”- simply means to take a temporary, or, short- term break from something In the name of God ALMIGHTY. (And this may come as a bit of a shock to some of you), but yes, fasting can be done with numerous other things besides food and water!- they may ask, “really? Like what?”
      (Answer): Well Realistically speaking, besides food and water, The followers of Christ should be aiming to fast from any and all forms of sensual pleasure that is holding them in bondage to sin(s) or addiction(s).
      **So for most believers I presume that would be: (cannabis , cigarettes, alcohol, inappropriate videos and Worldly music right?)-Just to name a few.
      (So, then the question becomes, “Why do we fast? And What purpose does it serve?”)-
      (answer): (Isaiah 58:6)- “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?.”
      (Explanation:)- The Lord Jesus Christ taught me that, when you CANNOT resist something such as: (drugs, or alcohol, or adult film, or cigarettes), then it means that THOSE THINGS have power and control OVER YOU and your life.
      However, when you CAN resist these things then it means that the power of evil or sin no longer has any power or control over you! (And that’s why he says, fast so that you can loosen the grip that these things has on your life)
      And That is exactly the reason why I’ll be showing YOU, how to use fasting in order to get started with beating your addiction(s) and temptations TODAY! How does that sound? Okay! Well then, Let’s get started!
      (Step #1: Setting EASY Goals to achieve.”)- The beautiful thing about fasting in the name of Jesus Christ is that You get to decide how long your own fasting breaks will last. That’s right guys! Fasting is Completely self managed! When it comes to fasting, You are your own boss!
      And because you will be managing yourself, please make sure that you do not get carried away by setting goals for yourself that are too impossible for you to achieve. (Matthew 26:41)- “For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”- (This scripture is just a reminder to us that, things are easier said than done.) sometimes we have the excitement to do the right thing….. but we physically can’t sometimes.
      I say this to politely remind you all dear brothers and sister, that Fasting is actually a lot harder than it looks. So for your first ever fast, I would highly recommend that you all start off by setting goals for yourself that are extremely EASY for you to achieve.
      (So for example), do not attempt to take a 3 month break from alcohol for your first ever fast, that would be way too excessive or challenging for a person who is addicted. How about taking a 2 or 3 day break from drinking alcohol first?!! you know? something that’s easy for you to achieve! This would be a much easier task to manage than a 3 month break!
      Baby steps dear brothers and sisters, baby steps. Test the waters first. Dip your toes into the water before you dive all the way in! The key to successful fasting is abstaining from your addiction only for as long as you can handle. Never overwhelm yourself!
      Because again guys, when it comes to fasting, you’re NOT quitting your addiction all at one time. You are simply taking a short- term or temporary break from your addiction in order to **SLOWLY** build up your self control with each fast.
      Eventually you will quit your addiction completely, but you’ll have to remember dear brothers and sisters, that an addiction is not something that is just overcome in one day; It takes time! Therefore dear brothers and sisters, please be patient with this process! Patience and commitment is going to be your best friend here for these next few weeks and months.
      (Step 3: fasting longer and longer each time)
      Once you achieve your small goal, you should then set a bigger goal for yourself to achieve next time. So for example, once you successfully go 2-3 days without smoking or drinking, or watching inappropriate videos, that’s when you can go ahead and try a longer fast next time, perhaps say a 5-7 day break from smoking or drinking.
      And then, once can you achieve that, that’s when you can try a 10-14 day break from drinking or smoking next! And then eventually, you’ll work your way up to a one month break and then two months, And then so on and so-forth! (I think You guys get the idea!) - but the goal here is to make sure that your fasting breaks are getting longer and longer each time.
      *consistency* is key! Fasting once or twice, will not be nearly enough to beat your addiction. Therefore, it is extremely important for you to remember this step! (PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THIS STATEMENT HERE WHATEVER YOU DO)- **After you have completed a fast, ONE or TWO days later you ***MUST*** be starting a new FAST again! - (on the the next step)
      (Step 4: Honoring your word! The art of self discipline!) Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, this is THE most important step!! Are you listening??? please Remember, that in order for this whole fasting thing to actually work out for YOU,
      **You will ABSOLUTELY ***HAVE TO*** honor your word!***
      (Meaning that), if you have decided that you are going to be taking a break from alcohol for ten days, then you Actually have to HONOR your word and resist the alcohol for 10 days like you said! That’s right dear brothers and sisters, When it comes to Fasting, if you said it, you MUST do it!
      A Fast is only TRULY successful, if you resist the temptation for the amount of time that you said you would! If you give in to your addiction before the fasting period is over, then the fast will be failed unfortunately to say.
      (Final step: how to quit your addiction for good!)
      So I know a lot of you may be wondering, “At what point should I try to quit My addiction completely?”
      (Answer): Once you have reached the point where you are actually able to fast for 2 months straight without giving in to your addiction, that’s when you should try to quit for good! I mean, If you have NOT drank alcohol or watched those videos in 2 months… there’s no sense in turning back now!! because you’d be clean and free!!! And so your job would simply be to do your best to keep resisting those things as you have. (End of message)

    Agreed Pastor Steven. Elevation is my church from 1000 miles away for the last 5 years. But I’m about seven 7 days it will be my home, and backyard. I’m moving to where my forever family is. Charlotte, here I come. And God willing, our brother, Zachariah, who is like a son to me and one of God’s firstborn with a mighty calling on his life. God has anointed you Pastor Steven because you have His heart. I recognize it. Because I share it with you. Bless you Jesus and Father and bless Steven for being a pioneering with You to prepare the way for our Lord and Your Kingdom coming. I’m the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I ask, I believe and fully with open arms receive your will and thank you for my Pastor Steven and placing your heart and passion for Your ungraspable and incomprehensible will in His hearts and every heart it touches. Bless you Lord all that is within me. Bless your Holy Name! Amen!
