Praise report for everyone. Pastor Furtick, thanks for the message. My wife and I have been married for almost 8 years now and for the first five years we tried and tried to conceive. But with the female issues that my wife suffered, from the doctors(after several rounds of fertility treatments and lots of heartbreak) told her that she would never be able to have a child. Now her dad is our Pastor at church and for as long as we have been together they have diligently prayed for her to have her hearts desire. But, for some reason it never happened, and she finally made peace with the fact that she would never have a child of her own. Two years ago, she was hit with a rare neurological movement and functional disorder that took us back and forth from Louisiana to Minnesota to the Mayo Clinic. God blessed us with the opportunity to go there and after five different hospitals here across the South, we were able to finally get a diagnosis after four months of scary wondering. Long story short. Today her seizures and body tremors are less than they were two years ago. She went three weeks ago to have a check up due to have some issues that she thought was the onset of early menopause, only to find out that she is about 3 months pregnant. Praise God. Now she is almost four months along and the doctors have said that they think she is through the window of time that would be troublesome for her to carry full term. Thank God for the gift of life and love. She is going to be the most loving mother a child could ask for. God Bless all and believe, God will give you the desires of your heart when you are ready for them, not when you want them.
Please pray for my health. I was in a car accident in 2006 and since then I have been in pain every day of my life. I had to learn how to walk again, but I need to talk care of my blind, disabled Mom. The pain is becoming unbearable. She is counting on me, and I have to honor her and take care of her. I just want to be healed and pain free.
If you can get in touch with me we can support each other through I used to be in a wheelchair I had to walk through the pain I have chronic pain and I have to have pain management

This sermon really touched my heart, todays my sisters birthday she committed suicide a few years back, I rebuke the spirit of suicide and depression and I'm holding on and fighting to end this generational curse I pray that God helps us all
My heart and prayers are with you, Priscilla. May God comfort and guard your heart with His Peace. I stand in agreement with you and declare that The Blood of JESUS has broken the curse of suicide and depression over you and your family. The Blood of Jesus speaks Life and Destiny over you and your family. His Love and Promises are unfailing. Keep holding on to Him and He will carry you through. 💖💕💖💕💖
This is not the end for you, by any means. I believe and declare that your latter days will be better than your former days, God is bringing you out using. *ALL* experiences you've had to shape your testimony to touch others in their struggle.
Thank you for bringing your pain to the place where you can receive comfort and understanding- this event is difficult to share - it can stick to you- you are free to do that here-free indeed- God knows your sister and her circumstances and loves her regardless- He recognizes and welcomes those who aren’t well- you will never be held accountable for your sister. Rather He will hold you. You will please Him as you honor her life. The Holy Spirit walks with you- whether you call Him to or not- but when you cry out to Him He will surround you! He pours His power and wisdom into you when you invite Him. He cares.
God lead me to tell you be strong and courageous which is a command. He is with you and for you. We are proud of you and it will all work out for a great testimony. 🥰
Thank you for reminding me the small things are recognised it’s easy to think it’s all for nothing the devils right there telling you it’s pointless it’s not worth it but get behind me Satan I may be small but with God I am mighty 💪🏼 praise the Lord for He is good His love endures forever 🙏🏻
Asking Prayers for my mom Sonia Arechiga who is in ICU on a ventilator due to COVID. I asked that her lungs and kidneys be healed and restored! In Jesus name!
I struggle with depression anxiety really bad my name is donnie heddlesten and I'm getting closer to God and watching you gives me faith gives me hope please keep me in your prayers as I'm starting to get closer to God thank you for every thing you preach it touches me more than ever
Find 5 things (e.g. listening to your favourite song that brings you joy) to do that make you happy for 5 minutes everytime you get an onset anxiousness or overwhelming sadness! Sending you light and love!❤
Amen. I've been in depression for a few years. These sermons are helping to lift me outta it. I thank God for the messages he's sending to us, when we need it. On Gods time🙏 God knew how to get through to us. Steven, elevation church❣️ We are BLESSED 🙏✝️
Was just shared this sermon from a sweet Christian sister. My husband is in the hospital, day 32 of the ECMO machine that is helping him to battle COVID/Pneumonia. Everyday and even today I saw God in the small step and I think, YES LORD, I can wait on the "David" in my life that will conquer this Goliath in front of me. Wait on God's best!!!
I went thru a separation and was abused badly. I felt so small and unwanted. I almost lost my life to an overdose on pills. I wasn't aware that I was taking to much because I just wanted the pain of my physical and mental problems to go away. Thank God for showing me which way or direction I needed to go. Going on 2 months sober and feel so much better with the right medicine I need God, music, and anti depressive. Thank God and you.
I pray God heals your heart and allows you to see the reasoning for the heart break I pray it makes your strong in the spirit and in life, I pray he gives you peace and joy even though your hurting .
I am here. I feel pretty insignificant. I am too fragile. I am scared to death to waste my life. It feels like I missed my turning point and now I am lost, going in circles. It's hard to believe there's a David. You give me hope. Thank you. God bless you. You are in my prayers as well.
I have wept like a little child with this message. I know He holds my heart and listening to the end prayer reminds me life is worth living. Please pray for God to heal my PTSD and to guard me from those who seek to hurt me.
"what you call small",I have this experience day before y esterday,it was I was really worried about my english speaking skills...my mother tongue is Tamil,I had to attend a meeting with a foreign lady in zoom. But I was pray to jesus..you are always with me,but don't know how to speak..In the middle of meeting,the foreign lady (she is in America) told me, your spoken English was good,I easily understood your English...Glory to God..it's all because of Jesus...Glory to God..it's all because of Jesus... Thank you jesus...but now I use Google translate to share my testimony with you.... :)...
Please pray I won't fill the places God has emptied with something that is familiar, but will have discernment for the right path, right thing, right attitude to take. Thanks
the part that stuck out to me that filled me happy was when Steven said the thoughts about small things you focus on wastes time when you can focus on the biggest thing which is god. this will help me when I'm tempted to bad things such as lust of the flesh
Praying for God's Best for you! He's never failed you and He never will. Keep trusting in Him and His Perfect timing. He Loves You and He will make a way . 💗💗💗
I know if you make your days so useful that the devil doesn't want you to have so much free time, that's usually when it happens. When you take advantage of the extra time, go volunteer, go for walks, check out places you never had time to like museums and stuff. Enjoy the moments. There's a reason the devil wants you not working; stress, fear, worry, etc.. Turn it around, the changes have to happen inside you before they happen around you.
I pray you find where God wants you to be. In Jesus name. Also, try ziprecruiter and there is a sweet girl named Delilah on UA-cam that post daily leads for online work. God Bless. ❤🙏
This message was such a blessing to my soul Pastor Steven, it was everything I needed to hear today. Please pray for my sister and I as we have just started a new business, we have been going through such a tough time and need to remember to continue to trust God and have patience. We won’t quit, praying for strength and encouragement today! Thank you for these amazing messages that has gotten us through so many dark times! You are a blessing! Have a wonderful day ❤️🙏🏾🥰✨
I thought I was an invincible firefighter and I had a bad relationship with God. Then 2 years ago I had a nervous breakdown from cumulative stress and PTSD. God got my attention. Death felt like it would be a relief from the anxiety and depression. I found God and I will never let Him go again. And I also found Steven and have been listening for the past 2 years. Thank you. God is good. Life is good. We grow from our struggles.
Please pray for me to have strength to quit vaping, to stop listening to worldly music. I am getting better with music, I avoid the music that uses foul language but even tho the songs have clean versions I need to be delivered from them. so please pray with me that God gives me the strength to overcome these things. Thank you.
“We have the tendency to make “big” what God calls “small”, and to make “small” what God calls “big.” Wow, this is so true and sometimes we don’t even realize that the small things lead to the biggest things. Thank you Pastor Steven for this message🙏🏼❤️🙌🏽
Im muslim and I'm listening to his lecture. Nowhere in Bible God said Trinity. He said God is only one. Jesus don't know time of hour( resurrection) according to Bible. Then doesn't it's big thing?
If your asking if it is a big thing when Jesus comes back, yes it is. And yes, Jesus doesn’t know when he will come either, but he is coming. It’s better to get to know Jesus before you meet him, because when he comes, and you don’t know him, he will deny you and say “depart from me”. That’s why Christians teach others who Jesus is and how good he is, we preach encouraging sermons and help our brothers and sisters give their lives to the Lord Jesus.
@@siennaleevlogs we too believe Jesus was great. And mighty prophet of God. God gave him so many miracles. But where in Bible Jesus said, "I'm God or worship me"? Bible doesn't say Jesus was God.
@@furqan2485 UA-cam has a Nudity Problem and a P0rn problem. Can you find the time and strength and spirit to help? Will you help strangers despite there being no physical reward?
This message was not small. It was exactly what I needed to hear, someone shot down a dream of mine today, although I felt hurt I said God only you know and you will guide me. That dream is still going to come to pass but only in your timing. Thank you.
I needed this because I was struggling with losing my job recently. What I thought was my perfect job, perfect company. I kept thinking and asking "why?" "what did I do wrong Lord?" Inconsolable and mounting fears. Some real and many imagined. But this sermon helps me put things in perspective. So thank you Pastor Furtick for preaching God's word.
I know I’m not a strong Christian but I know I have strong faith. I never realized it until one of my kids was icu with rsv. She was 3 months old, she had a breathing tube and a feeding tube in her. My pastor came to visit and he started to panic. I remembered telling him pastor it’s okay because she is is the hands of God and he will heal her. My pastor looked at me and said I came here to help you but you helped me. I have faith but I still struggle 😞
Praise the Lord, Pastor Steven! Thank you so much for God's Word for me tonight. Thank you for reminding me that what I do for some temporary comfort can be dangerous for my life; that God cares about my smallest needs; that I give too much importance to things that are small in God's eyes, and it's the little ways in which I can be unfaithful are really big for Him; that small ways in which I do my job faithfully matter a lot to God; that I have a lot to be thankful to God for; that God does not need me to become small to show Himself as great; and that I can't degrade myself because I have God in me. I have to remind myself about that to avoid thinking small and behaving as if I am not a child of God. I had almost forgotten the significance of Integrity and Faithfulness because I foolishly justified my risky actions. Thank you once again, Pastor Steven, for blessing me. God bless you🙏🙏🙏. This message was for me. Thanks to God for the message and for you. God bless you and your family and your ministry. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you. May the Lord be gracious to you. May He lift His countenance upon you and give you His peace. Amen!
Im just so amazed with God everyday. He's freaking awesome...and it's just perfect how you get every message and have the gift to teach it to the WORLD!!!
Today’s message was so beautiful. Really spoke to me in so many ways. Can’t wait to see what the Lord reveals to me that is small to me yet big to him. Have a blessed week to all❣️
"You got anything smaller? ....You got a small prayer?" I think I will be chewing on this for the next year. Praise Jesus. Thank you, SF for delving into the word and seeing this revelation. This is exactly what God has been trying to show me. I was NOT getting it. And, it takes me listening to the message a second time for me to even hear it. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy and guidance!!!
So good! We are so glad to hear that you were blessed by this sermon Pamela. We pray the Lord leads you with wisdom and grace in this season. Blessings ^EC Team
Starke, florida!!! Country life proudly born and raised!! Those who don't know please look it up! Jesus has opened my eyes and shown me what his blessing can do! He saved me, saved my family and I will continue to praise and SPREAD his message!
This message comes at a crazy point in my life where things are a bit all over the place, but I needed to hear this to drive me towards perspective. God never gives us more than we can bare, and we never have to fight through it alone. What we see as BIG, give it to him...and what we see as small, amplify. I'm praying for peace...understanding, and allowing myself to look beyond myself to understand God's power and willingness to move in and through us.
Im from Puerto Rico, and is amazing how God can work on the little things such as listening to this wonderful message and touching my soul. Love how God speaks through you and it seeks in me. Ive been having really intense anxiety for many situations, but Im finding God to heal me and love me. God bless you always
Hey, that was a beautiful message, I could take a lot out of it so thank you. Please can you pray for me, I know I'm not going through anything major but it still shakes me sometimes, please ask God that he will be with me, and send Godly people who I can relate to and spend time with because I feel alone. Yes i have friends but very close to no one in faith. Can you also pray that I'll do Gods will here in school and draw more people to God. Hope it goes well with all of you God bless, mag God jou seën Dankie
I feel like you were speaking to me at the end. I have suffered from OCD and other mental illnesses for years, probably most of my life. It has been the fight for my very life. I have gone in and out of depressions, panic attacks, and fear. But I cling to Jesus with whatever strength I have. I have been tormented by my own mind, and some days I wonder if its worth going on for. But you mentioned about breaking things generationally. Mental illness has afflicted my family for generations and I fear for my children because I never want them to go through this. I want them to have a happy life. So with Gods help I have been trying to overcome my thoughts and fears. I am needed here and the Lord has reminded me of that. Please keep my in your prayers that I can fight through this. I am a Christian, a child of God. Jesus saved my soul. Jesus is my Lord and Savior! I believe he is Gods son and that God rose him from the dead. Staci Young
Thank you so much Pastor Steven for the word of God, we truly appreciate all that you do for us to be closer to our God ♥️🙏🏼 Thank you so much again for all that you do, your hard work does not go unseen, please know that. 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I am here. I am having undiagnosed pain and I am a cancer survivor. Also dealing with anxiety over many things. Please pray for peace for me. Thank you. I love you both.
Wow!! This was right on time! Answer to my prayers from waiting for David to not crowing the first thing i see to flirting with suicidal thoughts. So on point. Thank you Pastor Steven for being a vessel!!! 💕
Here from Nebraska and starting my day with Elevation and God's word. In these crazy times, with everything seemingly out of control, I find myself bringing my focus down to what is right in front of me and doing the very best I can in the moment, in the space that is mine, and letting God handle everything else. It's very peaceful. I find myself accomplishing goals the world says I can't, because I'm simply not listening to the world. The world says shut down, stay home, wear a mask, stay 6ft away, don't have fun, don't go to work.... I hear SMILE, LOVE EACH OTHER, GIVE HUGS, BUILD, GROW, DON'T STOP, I'VE (GOD) GOT THIS!!!! Take the mask off and smile at strangers... the effect will blow your mind!!! Don't let the world de-person you or anyone else!
I've been through so much that if someone subs their toe and it devastates them I support them and sympathize with them and listen to whatever they need to talk about or do whatever they need me to do to help them feel better and have a better day. I do most of the time sometimes I get stuck in my own situation and can't see past it but I try to always be there for others. I pray I always do better than I did the time before
Thank you so much for this message. This hit hard to me as I am in the depths of a divorce. It’s been a tough thing to go through. I just ask for any prayers that can be afforded for myself and my children as we go through this process. I also ask for a prayer for my soon to be ex that she receives the peace she is searching for
Hi @Lucas, thank you for sharing this with us. We will be praying for you and for your entire family as you go through this challenging process. God bless you!! 💛
One thought away from ruining ur life or one thought away from living it. Don’t let one small thing ruin such a great life god has planned!!! It’s my takeaway. God speaks to me through this man. I swear. Godbless u pastor stevens!!! Denise from the Bronx!
Those words were lifechanging. I really needed to hear this today. Thank you so much, I pray for you to keep this beautiful job blessing other people. Love and praise from Brazil ❤️
Tears came out watching this sermon this morning. I used to feel so small, I always envy people who does big things for God. I used to compare myself to them and I used to broke down telling myself I'll never be able to do those stuff they did. But after receiving this sermon this morning,I realised God wanted to use the weak and small people, He wants to use me. And I felt so much joy and hope.
Some stuff God takes out of your life that your trying to hold on to... God took my boyfriend to jail bc he was beating me n I was too scared to let anyone know so God did it on his own
Good 4 u never feel embarrassed r scared to stand up for Urself someone else’s transgressions r never ur fault it’s not cause u picked a person like that for God knows r hearts. Hold ur head. God got u!
Watching every week from Elcho Island, Australia. I've been here one month, living in an Indigenous community of 30. Sooooo small, but our God is showing himself strong and He is surely displaying His glory in this place. Thanks for your weekly encouragement. Thank you for pressing in to hear the heart of God for His people. Bless you :)
Marli, do you have a good support system in your life? You are here for a reason. I know it gets very dark. I've been where you are. God is using your life in this earth and His plan is still unrolling sister. Please don't give up. Are you a part of an e-group? Get into a community of believers who love Jesus. You are loved and valuable. God wants you on earth so please stay. God please help your children. Pastor Steven called this one out specifically because you spoke it to him now please continue to work in your child's life and may she know your love in a way like never before in Jesus name.
Love this message, Pastor was really speaking to my heart, Thank you so much again for your sincere devotion to your calling and continued Desire to Spread the word of God to all the world and save lives🙏
In Jesus name I pray you receive the job God has planned for you.❤🙏. Try ziprecruiter and check out the UA-cam channel by Delilah she post daily leads for online work that even provides equipment. God bless 🙏❤
Amen! "God brings the biggest things out of the smallest places". That's great! Yes, I'm gonna wait for David. Thank you Pastor Steven, you're such a blessing! God bless you, and your family and keep you safe 🙏♥️
I am so discouraged as I have had a "mental illness " most of my life. I'm in my 60's & still struggle w being "down" and not wanting to do anything many days. I love the Lord but still struggle w confusion in my life. I want to talk to someone but don't know how or who to talk to to help me. Please help me. I watch Pastor Steve almost every day but it doesn't change my issue. Can someone help me please. Thank u.
Honestly, I would suggest 1. You try to start developing a relationship with God for yourself. Watching sermons is not enough 2. Fasting for what you want. 3. Could be you need Delieverance. But start by praying and reading your Bible. Start at Matthew. And Ask God to direct you.
Five small barley loaves and two small fish..send for the small one. WOW!!! Our Savior, Emmanuel, sent to us as a small newborn baby from a small town. 💖💕💖💕💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Amen, He's The God of the small. Illogical, by earthly standards, but BIG by God's. Draws me even closer to Him in Awe and Wonder. ❤
I thought I was small but I’m not! God can use what I thought it’s small! I’ll endure the process and wait for David! Thank you so much for the message, it really touched my heart and soul.❤️
This is actually awesome bc God is gonna turn all this to our good for His Glory! Faith over fear!! Praise God He's already working on our behalf and we don't even see it or feel it!! Thank you Lord 🙏🙏🙏
Pastor Furtick I want you to know that I am very grateful to have heard about you through my Bishop. So I visit your church online. I want you to know I see his anointing on you. I see God in you. I hear God in you. Thank you for your obedience and your passion for Jesus. Thank you for sewing seeds of the things that are pure, lovely, noble and true things that Paul teaches us to dwell on. Thank you for honoring your marriage so that those of us who have gotten hurt see that what God does with you and Holly is still possible for God to do. I thank the Lord for what God is doing through you and your family. God bless and keep you. I am a member of the Potters House so that is why I can't be a member at elevation church , but I cyber visit and wanted you to know and encourage you and your wife in the Lord. Again Thank you and Glory to God for what is being revealed through you.
I am now at the end of your sermon, almost, & I have to tell you JUST yesterday I said to my friend, I don't know if it's too small to ask what God's will is concerning buying a puppy." I was telling her that I was thinking about the plans that my husband & I had made, that we decided to buyna German Shepherd puppy next year. Yesterday I realized that I had not prayed & asked God when should we should purchase it.. Our cat of 18 years had died in November 2020. Our younger cat 13 yrs old had died a 1 yr & 3 months earlier. We had plans to get a puppy after they died. I miss our younger cat who died so much it seems like he died yesterday. Now I'm mourning another cat we had for 18 yes.. (God has helped me through it though & I'm actually fine, grace of God is amazing, I just still really miss both of them) I'm more than ready for us to have that little puppy, but is God? I told my friend, " We (husband & I) pray about if we should buy furniture, sometimes when I want to look really good & my hair isn't coperrating I ask God to make it look beautiful. I know this pleases God, but when is it unessarry to ask , God what do you think? " I know God knows the perfect timing for when we buy a puppy, why doubt the importance of His will for that? My husband & I decided to buy one 2 years from now when we discussed it again, if it's not His timing one way or another He will let us know. I have been losing my vision since last year ( I've had 5 surgies on my eyes, loooong story) however, God's going to completely healed me! Perhaps I'll be dealing with another surgery & it will be next year ( not a good time 4 a puppy ).... I don't know but God does 😇. So getting back to your sermon, so, not only my ministry being small, my hair needing help, further when to buy, yeah, God wants it ALL! Amen!!! Can't leave without saying, God already healed my far sided vision ( close up & reading). I was reading the Bible last year & it was like the whole page changed!!!!!! I can now read crystal clear! I even was able to make the font on my phone smaller! This year I'm going to the Mayo Clinic for my eyes. My vision problem started all because of uveitis ( a vision disease). I was diginosed when I was 28. I am 52 now. Please pray for me, anyone who is reading this & Pastor Steven if you have a prayer list or ministry please put me on the list. I am now legally blind, but just the beginning mark of it.. My eyes are not supposed to get worse. However, now I can't drive . God has given me His grace through all of this, but it has been a nightmare with blessings mixed within it. My eyes were great for 9 years after the 4th surgery & then something changed in my eye. It's an extremely long story! I know in the spiritual world God has already healed my eyes. When I was 28 I could have been blind but God told me, I've healed you & He did! I knew every day He healed me..... but it took 3 years& through a surgery. My prayer request is that I grow more in the fruit of patience & fruit of the spirit joy. I already KNOW He has healed me, God's healing is everlasting. I may be legally blind NOW but in my spirit I KNOW God is just using my faith to help me to continue to grow stronger & more diligent in my spirituality. You said in one of your sermons that as we grow God uses bigger problems sometimes it stretch us... something very close to that, do you remember? Anyway, this last surgery everything about the horrible things that happened to my eye & vision only has made me more aware of the greatest 9f God! Each set back & adjustment I had to make, through each time needing & wanting to know what was going on, was I going to be 9k, through it ALL because of the grace of God I realized I didn't need to know ANYTHING! I knew/know that God has the answers & that this is going to end up very GOOD! All I will continue to do is praise God through it, thank Him for healing me, & remember He is in control n9 matter what it feels like, no matter what it looks like, even no matter that a doctor says, God has healed me, His plan is right & true! That's all, that's all. God's not done with me yet. My story isn't over, THIS will not defeat me! M8chele- glittergirl from Ohio. 💜

Praise report for everyone. Pastor Furtick, thanks for the message. My wife and I have been married for almost 8 years now and for the first five years we tried and tried to conceive. But with the female issues that my wife suffered, from the doctors(after several rounds of fertility treatments and lots of heartbreak) told her that she would never be able to have a child. Now her dad is our Pastor at church and for as long as we have been together they have diligently prayed for her to have her hearts desire. But, for some reason it never happened, and she finally made peace with the fact that she would never have a child of her own. Two years ago, she was hit with a rare neurological movement and functional disorder that took us back and forth from Louisiana to Minnesota to the Mayo Clinic. God blessed us with the opportunity to go there and after five different hospitals here across the South, we were able to finally get a diagnosis after four months of scary wondering. Long story short. Today her seizures and body tremors are less than they were two years ago. She went three weeks ago to have a check up due to have some issues that she thought was the onset of early menopause, only to find out that she is about 3 months pregnant. Praise God. Now she is almost four months along and the doctors have said that they think she is through the window of time that would be troublesome for her to carry full term. Thank God for the gift of life and love. She is going to be the most loving mother a child could ask for. God Bless all and believe, God will give you the desires of your heart when you are ready for them, not when you want them.
God bless you both.
Amen gods grace is awesome
Amen and Amen ✝️God is sovereign, good, loving, grace and so much more. May He continue to bless and keep you both.
Please pray for my health. I was in a car accident in 2006 and since then I have been in pain every day of my life. I had to learn how to walk again, but I need to talk care of my blind, disabled Mom. The pain is becoming unbearable. She is counting on me, and I have to honor her and take care of her. I just want to be healed and pain free.

⁃ What you call small today you thought was impossible yesterday

⁃ When does our self-defense become disobedience? It’s when we implement something in place to protect us that actually keeps us from experiencing God’s presence with us

⁃ It’s like God wanted Samuel to have to go through the process of elimination
⁃ Sometimes God will take you through the process of elimination
⁃ Sometimes people have no idea what it’s like to carry your burden, because to them it seems small

- Lo que inviertes bien, aumenta
- Miqueas 5: 2
- Lo que llamas pequeño hoy, ayer pensabas que era imposible
- Dios nunca quiso realmente que Israel tuviera un rey, quería ser su rey
- ¿Cuándo nuestra autodefensa se convierte en desobediencia? Es cuando implementamos algo para protegernos que en realidad nos impide experimentar la presencia de Dios con nosotros.

- Es como si Dios quisiera que Samuel tuviera que pasar por el proceso de eliminación.
- A veces, Dios te llevará a través del proceso de eliminación.
- A veces la gente no tiene idea de cómo es llevar tu carga, porque les parece pequeña
- Para dramatizar o restar importancia, ambos son malos

Thank you lord for the small things in life. Amen 😇🥰❤💚🥰
This sermon really touched my heart, todays my sisters birthday she committed suicide a few years back, I rebuke the spirit of suicide and depression and I'm holding on and fighting to end this generational curse I pray that God helps us all
Praying for you @Priscilla
My heart and prayers are with you, Priscilla. May God comfort and guard your heart with His Peace. I stand in agreement with you and declare that The Blood of JESUS has broken the curse of suicide and depression over you and your family. The Blood of Jesus speaks Life and Destiny over you and your family. His Love and Promises are unfailing. Keep holding on to Him and He will carry you through. 💖💕💖💕💖
This is not the end for you, by any means.
I believe and declare that your latter days will be better than your former days, God is bringing you out using. *ALL* experiences you've had to shape your testimony to touch others in their struggle.
May the Lord fight with you. This battle is the Lord's. Cast it unto Him because He cares for us.
Thank you for bringing your pain to the place where you can receive comfort and understanding- this event is difficult to share - it can stick to you- you are free to do that here-free indeed- God knows your sister and her circumstances and loves her regardless- He recognizes and welcomes those who aren’t well- you will never be held accountable for your sister. Rather He will hold you. You will please Him as you honor her life. The Holy Spirit walks with you- whether you call Him to or not- but when you cry out to Him He will surround you! He pours His power and wisdom into you when you invite Him. He cares.
God sees. Man may not care or see what things are done, but God sees our heart, our attitude & what we do for the Kingdome of God.
I left my job to start what I have been called for. I am scared and nervous, especially with two little ones that I need to provide for.
I pray he will provide for you and your babies ♥️ blessings ahead for your new journey sister!
Where God guides, He provides. You and your babies are safe in His care. God bless you in this new chapter of your life. ❤❤💓
God lead me to tell you be strong and courageous which is a command. He is with you and for you. We are proud of you and it will all work out for a great testimony. 🥰
Please don't give up! The answer is in the end of the journey
Follow your heart and trust in God. That's it!
The longer you think about it!!!!...it gets bigger..thank you Jesus fr you are the eternal word of God...amen
This message was not small to me, It touched my heart in such a big way and I cried like a small baby but my cry was not small to God.
Amen, He knows and saves each tear we cry. Psalm 56:8 " I will cry unto The Most High; unto God that performeth ALL THINGS for me." Psalm 57:2 💖💕💖💕💖💕💖

Was just shared this sermon from a sweet Christian sister. My husband is in the hospital, day 32 of the ECMO machine that is helping him to battle COVID/Pneumonia. Everyday and even today I saw God in the small step and I think, YES LORD, I can wait on the "David" in my life that will conquer this Goliath in front of me. Wait on God's best!!!
Anyone reading this. I love you so much ❤️ yes ,YOU.

I revceive this message from South Korea Military
I went thru a separation and was abused badly. I felt so small and unwanted. I almost lost my life to an overdose on pills. I wasn't aware that I was taking to much because I just wanted the pain of my physical and mental problems to go away. Thank God for showing me which way or direction I needed to go. Going on 2 months sober and feel so much better with the right medicine I need God, music, and anti depressive. Thank God and you.
Amen! ✝️
Thank you JESUS
Stay strong Julia👍🏼
Listening to this sermon is not a small thing!!!!!!! Wow
Please pray for me. I have a broken heart and still disappointed and mourning on what God rejected.
Like pastor Steve says. Regection is protection. I know it hurts. And I am sorry you're feeling it. You are loved and you will get through this ❤️
@@skywinter8922 thank you
Fast from things and food and pray to God
I pray God heals your heart and allows you to see the reasoning for the heart break I pray it makes your strong in the spirit and in life, I pray he gives you peace and joy even though your hurting .
@@renisemiles thank you so much 🙏🏽
What you call small today you thought was impossible yesterday
I am here. I feel pretty insignificant. I am too fragile. I am scared to death to waste my life. It feels like I missed my turning point and now I am lost, going in circles. It's hard to believe there's a David. You give me hope. Thank you. God bless you. You are in my prayers as well.
What you call small 🤏🏾 is big 🙌🏾 to God! Man, wait on David. That's a word 👑
I have wept like a little child with this message. I know He holds my heart and listening to the end prayer reminds me life is worth living. Please pray for God to heal my PTSD and to guard me from those who seek to hurt me.
"what you call small",I have this experience day before y esterday,it was I was really worried about my english speaking skills...my mother tongue is Tamil,I had to attend a meeting with a foreign lady in zoom. But I was pray to jesus..you are always with me,but don't know how to speak..In the middle of meeting,the foreign lady (she is in America) told me, your spoken English was good,I easily understood your English...Glory to God..it's all because of Jesus...Glory to God..it's all because of Jesus... Thank you jesus...but now I use Google translate to share my testimony with you.... :)...
Please pray I won't fill the places God has emptied with something that is familiar, but will have discernment for the right path, right thing, right attitude to take. Thanks
Amen!
Cheryl, great prayer. I'm with you in this same place! I pray for you sister. God knows our hearts. 🙏
Prayed for you Cheryl. Xo
the part that stuck out to me that filled me happy was when Steven said the thoughts about small things you focus on wastes time when you can focus on the biggest thing which is god.
this will help me when I'm tempted to bad things such as lust of the flesh
Praying for breakthroughs,freedom and undaunted faith in God
Amennnnnnm
Please pray for my daughter mental health, my peace, and my dad's health.
Prayer to find a job soon. I've been searching and applying since March of 2020.
Praying for God's Best for you! He's never failed you and He never will. Keep trusting in Him and His Perfect timing. He Loves You and He will make a way . 💗💗💗
You will find the job in the name of Jesus
I know if you make your days so useful that the devil doesn't want you to have so much free time, that's usually when it happens. When you take advantage of the extra time, go volunteer, go for walks, check out places you never had time to like museums and stuff. Enjoy the moments. There's a reason the devil wants you not working; stress, fear, worry, etc.. Turn it around, the changes have to happen inside you before they happen around you.
I pray you find where God wants you to be. In Jesus name.

This message was such a blessing to my soul Pastor Steven, it was everything I needed to hear today. Please pray for my sister and I as we have just started a new business, we have been going through such a tough time and need to remember to continue to trust God and have patience. We won’t quit, praying for strength and encouragement today! Thank you for these amazing messages that has gotten us through so many dark times! You are a blessing! Have a wonderful day ❤️🙏🏾🥰✨
Courtney, we are praying for you today! 🙏
@@elevationchurch Thank you, I appreciate it! ☺️🙏🏾
Please pray for fear and guilt to leave me. I need to move forward in life and I am actively asking for more faith and courage.
I thought I was an invincible firefighter and I had a bad relationship with God. Then 2 years ago I had a nervous breakdown from cumulative stress and PTSD. God got my attention. Death felt like it would be a relief from the anxiety and depression. I found God and I will never let Him go again. And I also found Steven and have been listening for the past 2 years. Thank you. God is good. Life is good. We grow from our struggles.
Amen Mike! ^EC Team
This message was such a blessing to me. Praise God for your ministry.
Truth.
Please pray for me to have strength to quit vaping, to stop listening to worldly music. I am getting better with music, I avoid the music that uses foul language but even tho the songs have clean versions I need to be delivered from them. so please pray with me that God gives me the strength to overcome these things. Thank you.
“We have the tendency to make “big” what God calls “small”, and to make “small” what God calls “big.” Wow, this is so true and sometimes we don’t even realize that the small things lead to the biggest things. Thank you Pastor Steven for this message🙏🏼❤️🙌🏽
Im muslim and I'm listening to his lecture. Nowhere in Bible God said Trinity. He said God is only one. Jesus don't know time of hour( resurrection) according to Bible. Then doesn't it's big thing?
If your asking if it is a big thing when Jesus comes back, yes it is. And yes, Jesus doesn’t know when he will come either, but he is coming. It’s better to get to know Jesus before you meet him, because when he comes, and you don’t know him, he will deny you and say “depart from me”. That’s why Christians teach others who Jesus is and how good he is, we preach encouraging sermons and help our brothers and sisters give their lives to the Lord Jesus.
@@siennaleevlogs we too believe Jesus was great. And mighty prophet of God. God gave him so many miracles. But where in Bible Jesus said, "I'm God or worship me"? Bible doesn't say Jesus was God.
May God open my eyes to what is Big to Him so that I don't uphold what I think is big to me
@@furqan2485 UA-cam has a Nudity Problem and a P0rn problem.
Can you find the time and strength and spirit to help?
Will you help strangers despite there being no physical reward?
This message was not small. It was exactly what I needed to hear, someone shot down a dream of mine today, although I felt hurt I said God only you know and you will guide me. That dream is still going to come to pass but only in your timing. Thank you.
I needed this because I was struggling with losing my job recently. What I thought was my perfect job, perfect company. I kept thinking and asking "why?" "what did I do wrong Lord?" Inconsolable and mounting fears. Some real and many imagined. But this sermon helps me put things in perspective. So thank you Pastor Furtick for preaching God's word.
Sending positive energy your way for your new job to arrive better and quickly 💖im also looking for a new job

I know I’m not a strong Christian but I know I have strong faith. I never realized it until one of my kids was icu with rsv. She was 3 months old, she had a breathing tube and a feeding tube in her. My pastor came to visit and he started to panic. I remembered telling him pastor it’s okay because she is is the hands of God and he will heal her. My pastor looked at me and said I came here to help you but you helped me. I have faith but I still struggle 😞
48:30 Saved my life yesterday I really needed that confirmation from God thanks pastor 🦋
Praise the Lord, Pastor Steven! Thank you so much for God's Word for me tonight. Thank you for reminding me that what I do for some temporary comfort can be dangerous for my life; that God cares about my smallest needs; that I give too much importance to things that are small in God's eyes, and it's the little ways in which I can be unfaithful are really big for Him; that small ways in which I do my job faithfully matter a lot to God; that I have a lot to be thankful to God for; that God does not need me to become small to show Himself as great; and that I can't degrade myself because I have God in me. I have to remind myself about that to avoid thinking small and behaving as if I am not a child of God. I had almost forgotten the significance of Integrity and Faithfulness because I foolishly justified my risky actions.
Thank you once again, Pastor Steven, for blessing me. God bless you🙏🙏🙏. This message was for me. Thanks to God for the message and for you. God bless you and your family and your ministry. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you. May the Lord be gracious to you. May He lift His countenance upon you and give you His peace. Amen!
Im just so amazed with God everyday. He's freaking awesome...and it's just perfect how you get every message and have the gift to teach it to the WORLD!!!

2023. I've been blessed by this word. It felt just like God speaking to me. Thank you Jesus 🎉❤
Today’s message was so beautiful. Really spoke to me in so many ways. Can’t wait to see what the Lord reveals to me that is small to me yet big to him. Have a blessed week to all❣️
"You got anything smaller? ....You got a small prayer?" I think I will be chewing on this for the next year. Praise Jesus. Thank you, SF for delving into the word and seeing this revelation. This is exactly what God has been trying to show me. I was NOT getting it. And, it takes me listening to the message a second time for me to even hear it. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy and guidance!!!

Thanks for tuning in! ^EC Team
This message comes at a crazy point in my life where things are a bit all over the place, but I needed to hear this to drive me towards perspective. God never gives us more than we can bare, and we never have to fight through it alone. What we see as BIG, give it to him...and what we see as small, amplify.
I'm praying for peace...understanding, and allowing myself to look beyond myself to understand God's power and willingness to move in and through us.
I can’t wait for my family and I to meet you and worship with the Elevation family one day!
Im from Puerto Rico, and is amazing how God can work on the little things such as listening to this wonderful message and touching my soul. Love how God speaks through you and it seeks in me. Ive been having really intense anxiety for many situations, but Im finding God to heal me and love me. God bless you always
Thank you everyone, John from Hawaii is here, such a blessing to have you all, blown away with God’s wind, this is amazing
I would love to be added to a prayer chain to over come my agoraphobia and panic disorder. Thank you.
And Pastor, you say to people that when they first meet you...they think "you look smaller in person." How big you are to God AND to us. Amen!
Please pray for my marriage.
Any bro or sister pls pray for me... pray away the giddiness in my head and make my body strong again in Jesus name Amen
Hey, that was a beautiful message, I could take a lot out of it so thank you. Please can you pray for me, I know I'm not going through anything major but it still shakes me sometimes, please ask God that he will be with me, and send Godly people who I can relate to and spend time with because I feel alone. Yes i have friends but very close to no one in faith. Can you also pray that I'll do Gods will here in school and draw more people to God.
Hope it goes well with all of you

My girlfriend and I just decided to wait for 'David'
I feel like you were speaking to me at the end. I have suffered from OCD and other mental illnesses for years, probably most of my life. It has been the fight for my very life. I have gone in and out of depressions, panic attacks, and fear. But I cling to Jesus with whatever strength I have. I have been tormented by my own mind, and some days I wonder if its worth going on for. But you mentioned about breaking things generationally. Mental illness has afflicted my family for generations and I fear for my children because I never want them to go through this. I want them to have a happy life. So with Gods help I have been trying to overcome my thoughts and fears. I am needed here and the Lord has reminded me of that. Please keep my in your prayers that I can fight through this. I am a Christian, a child of God. Jesus saved my soul. Jesus is my Lord and Savior! I believe he is Gods son and that God rose him from the dead.

Here from Nebraska and starting my day with Elevation and God's word.
In these crazy times, with everything seemingly out of control, I find myself bringing my focus down to what is right in front of me and doing the very best I can in the moment, in the space that is mine, and letting God handle everything else. It's very peaceful. I find myself accomplishing goals the world says I can't, because I'm simply not listening to the world. The world says shut down, stay home, wear a mask, stay 6ft away, don't have fun, don't go to work....
I hear SMILE, LOVE EACH OTHER, GIVE HUGS, BUILD, GROW, DON'T STOP, I'VE (GOD) GOT THIS!!!!
Take the mask off and smile at strangers... the effect will blow your mind!!! Don't let the world de-person you or anyone else!
THIS IS ACTUALLY AWESOME!!!!!
I've been through so much that if someone subs their toe and it devastates them I support them and sympathize with them and listen to whatever they need to talk about or do whatever they need me to do to help them feel better and have a better day. I do most of the time sometimes I get stuck in my own situation and can't see past it but I try to always be there for others. I pray I always do better than I did the time before
Thank you so much for this message. This hit hard to me as I am in the depths of a divorce. It’s been a tough thing to go through. I just ask for any prayers that can be afforded for myself and my children as we go through this process. I also ask for a prayer for my soon to be ex that she receives the peace she is searching for
Hi @Lucas, thank you for sharing this with us. We will be praying for you and for your entire family as you go through this challenging process. God bless you!! 💛

Tears came out watching this sermon this morning. I used to feel so small, I always envy people who does big things for God. I used to compare myself to them and I used to broke down telling myself I'll never be able to do those stuff they did. But after receiving this sermon this morning,I realised God wanted to use the weak and small people, He wants to use me. And I felt so much joy and hope.
Some stuff God takes out of your life that your trying to hold on to... God took my boyfriend to jail bc he was beating me n I was too scared to let anyone know so God did it on his own
wow god works in so many ways
Stand up for yourself
Good 4 u never feel embarrassed r scared to stand up for Urself someone else’s transgressions r never ur fault it’s not cause u picked a person like that for God knows r hearts. Hold ur head. God got u!
Amen
Hi Jessica, sorry to hear that. Hope your doing better. May God bless you.
Watching every week from Elcho Island, Australia. I've been here one month, living in an Indigenous community of 30. Sooooo small, but our God is showing himself strong and He is surely displaying His glory in this place. Thanks for your weekly encouragement. Thank you for pressing in to hear the heart of God for His people. Bless you :)

I am so discouraged as I have had a "mental illness " most of my life. I'm in my 60's & still struggle w being "down" and not wanting to do anything many days. I love the Lord but still struggle w confusion in my life. I want to talk to someone but don't know how or who to talk to to help me. Please help me. I watch Pastor Steve almost every day but it doesn't change my issue. Can someone help me please. Thank u.
Honestly, I would suggest 1. You try to start developing a relationship with God for yourself. Watching sermons is not enough
2. Fasting for what you want.
3. Could be you need Delieverance.
But start by praying and reading your Bible. Start at Matthew. And Ask God to direct you.
God has proven once again that God is Infinite Possibilities

Five small barley loaves and two small fish..send for the small one. WOW!!! Our Savior, Emmanuel, sent to us as a small newborn baby from a small town. 💖💕💖💕💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Amen, He's The God of the small. Illogical, by earthly standards, but BIG by God's. Draws me even closer to Him in Awe and Wonder. ❤
I thought I was small but I’m not!
God can use what I thought it’s small!
I’ll endure the process and wait for David!
Thank you so much for the message, it really touched my heart and soul.❤️
Unbelievable insight! I'm very lonely - feeling God removed everyone from my life. Thank you for the encouragement - He wants to be my husband!
What you call small today you thought was impossible yesterday 🙏🏼
This man PREACHED!! Hallelujah!!
This is actually awesome bc God is gonna turn all this to our good for His Glory! Faith over fear!! Praise God He's already working on our behalf and we don't even see it or feel it!! Thank you Lord 🙏🙏🙏
Pastor Furtick I want you to know that I am very grateful to have heard about you through my Bishop. So I visit your church online. I want you to know I see his anointing on you. I see God in you. I hear God in you. Thank you for your obedience and your passion for Jesus. Thank you for sewing seeds of the things that are pure, lovely, noble and true things that Paul teaches us to dwell on. Thank you for honoring your marriage so that those of us who have gotten hurt see that what God does with you and Holly is still possible for God to do. I thank the Lord for what God is doing through you and your family. God bless and keep you. I am a member of the Potters House so that is why I can't be a member at elevation church , but I cyber visit and wanted you to know and encourage you and your wife in the Lord. Again Thank you and Glory to God for what is being revealed through you.
God brings the biggest things from small places
We must do what pleases God not ourselves. God is all powerful.
I am now at the end of your sermon, almost, & I have to tell you JUST yesterday I said to my friend, I don't know if it's too small to ask what God's will is concerning buying a puppy." I was telling her that I was thinking about the plans that my husband & I had made, that we decided to buyna German Shepherd puppy next year. Yesterday I realized that I had not prayed & asked God when should we should purchase it.. Our cat of 18 years had died in November 2020. Our younger cat 13 yrs old had died a 1 yr & 3 months earlier. We had plans to get a puppy after they died. I miss our younger cat who died so much it seems like he died yesterday. Now I'm mourning another cat we had for 18 yes.. (God has helped me through it though & I'm actually fine, grace of God is amazing, I just still really miss both of them) I'm more than ready for us to have that little puppy, but is God? I told my friend, " We (husband & I) pray about if we should buy furniture, sometimes when I want to look really good & my hair isn't coperrating I ask God to make it look beautiful. I know this pleases God, but when is it unessarry to ask , God what do you think? " I know God knows the perfect timing for when we buy a puppy, why doubt the importance of His will for that? My husband & I decided to buy one 2 years from now when we discussed it again, if it's not His timing one way or another He will let us know. I have been losing my vision since last year ( I've had 5 surgies on my eyes, loooong story) however, God's going to completely healed me! Perhaps I'll be dealing with another surgery & it will be next year ( not a good time 4 a puppy ).... I don't know but God does 😇. So getting back to your sermon, so, not only my ministry being small, my hair needing help, further when to buy, yeah, God wants it ALL! Amen!!! Can't leave without saying, God already healed my far sided vision ( close up & reading). I was reading the Bible last year & it was like the whole page changed!!!!!! I can now read crystal clear! I even was able to make the font on my phone smaller! This year I'm going to the Mayo Clinic for my eyes. My vision problem started all because of uveitis ( a vision disease). I was diginosed when I was 28. I am 52 now. Please pray for me, anyone who is reading this & Pastor Steven if you have a prayer list or ministry please put me on the list. I am now legally blind, but just the beginning mark of it.. My eyes are not supposed to get worse. However, now I can't drive . God has given me His grace through all of this, but it has been a nightmare with blessings mixed within it. My eyes were great for 9 years after the 4th surgery & then something changed in my eye. It's an extremely long story! I know in the spiritual world God has already healed my eyes. When I was 28 I could have been blind but God told me, I've healed you & He did! I knew every day He healed me..... but it took 3 years& through a surgery. My prayer request is that I grow more in the fruit of patience & fruit of the spirit joy. I already KNOW He has healed me, God's healing is everlasting. I may be legally blind NOW but in my spirit I KNOW God is just using my faith to help me to continue to grow stronger & more diligent in my spirituality. You said in one of your sermons that as we grow God uses bigger problems sometimes it stretch us... something very close to that, do you remember? Anyway, this last surgery everything about the horrible things that happened to my eye & vision only has made me more aware of the greatest 9f God! Each set back & adjustment I had to make, through each time needing & wanting to know what was going on, was I going to be 9k, through it ALL because of the grace of God I realized I didn't need to know ANYTHING! I knew/know that God has the answers & that this is going to end up very GOOD! All I will continue to do is praise God through it, thank Him for healing me, & remember He is in control n9 matter what it feels like, no matter what it looks like, even no matter that a doctor says, God has healed me, His plan is right & true! That's all, that's all. God's not done with me yet. My story isn't over, THIS will not defeat me! M8chele- glittergirl from Ohio. 💜
What you call small today, you thought was impossible yesterday!
