Truth wow
IT WAS SO TRUE, AMEN GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
I have been comfortable in my isolation. I keep to myself and don't have many friends. I don't trust people because they scare me, so I withdrawel. I know it's not healthy, but it's comfortable and safe! I've been feeling a tugging at my soul, telling me to get into a small group at church. I know it's God speaking to me, and despite how uncomfortable it makes me feel I registered to find a group. I was told a while back, God is more concerned with our character than our comfort, and listening to Pastor Steve confirmed it. I pray for the courage and guidance to find the right group and to Come Out of my dysfunctional isolation.
Yo that’s literally me. Thanks for sharing . I don’t feel like I’m alone. I wanna open up and share but I don’t know how
I pray for you Kathleen I can relate with your situation just keep fighting and praying and realize you have the power ! Courage WILL come
Just the fact that the Lord is stirring you and showed you the best example of a Preacher I’ve ever found... I thank God every time I watch Pastor Steve and even tho I’ve only seen Holly once I know she is how He can help me so accurately cause Jesus knows my heart better than I do
God Bless you!!!! I hope things have changed in your life...
You can be abandoned by creation, isolated by creation but you can never be abandoned or isolated by CREATOR, self love starts from loving the one who created us...Amen
“The greatest enemy of faith is not fear. It is familiarity.” ... SO good!!
The enemy of your faith is called satan.
I’m glad someone finally tells us how savage Jesus really is
I've never asked for prayer on any of Pastor Stevens videos but today I would like to ask for prayer. I have been trying to reconcile my relationship with God for myself and would eventually like for my bf to also build a relationship with God. I just feel he can't do so if I don't set an example. So I ask for prayer to have strength to overcome temptation and obstacles, wisdom to guide me down the right path, patience for when I don't see change right away, and trust even when it seems like God isnt working that I trust in his timing and what he is doing.💕 So I can be an example to others not just through words but actions. 🙏🏼❤️
Mermaid 72 I will pray for you. May God comfort you in this time and bless you with the wisdom he knows you need. Hope it all works out!! God Bless
Thank you so so so much! God bless you as well. 🙏🏼
Anne Marie Gigi Whoops! Lol glad you caught that! It must have been a typo! I work at a dental office so that's prob. Why! 😂 No he is not a Doctor! Lol 😂 it's a Typo! Glad you caught that! Thanks girl ! 😂

Anne Marie Gigi I'LL BE PRAYIN 4 YOU, WAT REASON CUD U POSSIBLY TAKE THE TIME OUT TO WATCH PASTOR STEVEN FURNICK &GO AS FAR AS TO WRITE THIS COMMENT, IF THATZ HOW U FEEL ABOUT HIM!?! MAY GOD HAV MERCY ON UR SOUL ! ! !😁
“ When Jesus shows up dysfunction has no where to hide “ !!! AMEN 🙏🏿
Pastor Steven makes too much sense all the time, i can’t get enough of his messages ... it’s so rich and empowering. I’m in awe of what God speaks through you sir.. you are such a voice and blessing to my life..
New tooo
Me too
I’ve realized that half of the time I prayed, I prayed for something pointless and not meaningful. Today, I’m praying and begging him to heal my dog who is very sick. She saved my life in my darkest hours, she’s been the perfect dog, never bit anyone. She stayed by my moms side when she was sick. She’s been the purest and most loving dog I’ve ever had. Please pray for her health. I’m ok with letting her go of old age but I don’t want her leaving like this. If anyone’s reading this please pray for her. Her name is Reese’s.
Any update 4 years later? 🙏❤️
''we get too comfortable sometimes with our dysfunction.. the devil doesn't want us to get uncomfortable cuz we will change"
BOOM!!!!
sometimes i feel so comfortable with my dysfunction that i don't even feel bad about it, its like ''NORMAL'' now,
thanks God that HE always confront me.
I feel like this was for me!! I'm in a very dysfunctional situation!! please pray for my strength to be uncomfortable so I can get through this!! God Bless you all
I feel like breaking down the house tonight!!! I’m going crazy with joy!!! I felt the Holy Spirit flow through me like a warm relaxing oozing throughout my whole body. From my head to my toes!!!! Preach bro, Preach!!! In Jesus Christ Holy name. Love you bro and all the comments and congregation. Amen 🙏
A bro...
A warm relaxing oozing THROUGHOUT from HEAD to TOE.
That's when you know you're receiving message. The Holy Ghost.
when Jesus shows up ...dysfunction has no where to hide...nowhere to run...Lord Jesus pls help me confront my demons...I come s i am ...thank you for speaking to Pastor Steven Furtick ....although is uneasy...Lord i surrender..all my thoughts to thee...amen
What an incredible message! Thank you pastor for this amazing word from God. So much of it is applicable to where my life is right now: recovering from addiction.
1) “God will disrupt my comfort to confront a disfunction”
2) “when going through trouble, let us be slow to rebuke the devil, for maybe the trouble is the means of transformation”
This message was sent straight from God for me. Randomly scrolling through UA-cam and this video comes up and pastor Steven spoke to everything I’m going through. No more indulging my insecurities, no more blaming God, no more being comfortable in my situation, but more believing that my being uncomfortable is serving a purpose to get me from where I am to where I need to be. Thank you Jesus!
"Fear is an ALLY of FAITH. Fear puts you in a place where you know you need something GREATER than yourself, which makes connection with God possible". Amen and Amen!
Jackie M love this
Jackie M amen
👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Listening to pastor Steven and pressing into God has helped me through anxiety and depression I thought was going to literally kill me! His teaching of Gods word has truly Blessed me!
I like how you say "through" , he helped you through them, he didn't remove the struggle but he got you "through"
Amen! Same!
I will not remain comfortable, I will walk in the Light of God. Joy Bahrain 🇧🇭 💖
You are a true blessing from God, Pastor. You are gifted to break down and explain the word like no other. I thank God for you!
My wife and kids are coming back into my life Steven and Holly I love you both thank you for being my team
Steven Furtick is truly a one of a kind pastor.. So many people can relate to the things he teaches and preaches.. he’s transparent and relatable.
God is using him to reach people who likely would of never stepped inside a church.. God keep him, preserve him, and continue to use him mightily.
When you watched it live yesterday an still gonna watch it again because it’s sooo good 💖
I do the same thing every weekend. If I’m able to watch it’s airing twice I do! At times I’ll watch both in the morning and go to service at my church in the evening! So good!!!!!
Tammy Ferguson I know right I live in the uk too an the timing it’s kinda late but I’m willing to loose my sleep 💤 an listen to this preaching
Blessed _jernz same here
Same 🙈
bless God for you Pastor!! You make the Bible Practical
From this moment I declare that I will not stay in a dysfunctional comfort anymore, through the Blood of Jesus. Amen.
" You don't always have to scream and shout. Sometimes the loudest response is a decision in your heart, I'm going to confront this. "
For the lord gave us a spirit of not fear but of love power and self control.
COMFORT FOOD has just been given a whole new meaning as a weapon of the enemy!
"In the process of taking care of his physical needs, I stopped meeting the emotional needs that he had to be a dad to me"
The minute (and I mean the minute) I woke this morning, I saw this sermon. This part got me. It spoke ABOUT me and summed up what I felt for so long that I was never even able to put into words. I ruined the very nature of the relationship. I became the mom and dad when I'm supposed to be their 16 year old child. Recently, I asked God to restore my family. Then today I came to realize after those words that it was my fault. I've always felt like a parent. The way I think, the way I act, the way I weigh out certain things to help situations. I've always felt like a parent. But recently God has been telling me to start being like a kid. Stop thinking about taxes when I'm only 16, stop thinking about moving out and working when I'm not even 16 and a half, stop thinking about how you're going to take care of your family thousands of miles away and your younger cousins and how you're going to raise them as if your their parent. God has been telling me to press on the brakes. I violated the very nature of the relationship because I didn't know the function. I grew up where pressure has been on me to help out my family so I grew up in the dysfunctional system and mindset of thinking that it was up to me to make things work, leading me to spiral in worry, fear, and anxiety. Its one thing to have a sermon be FOR you. But it's another for a sentence or a phrase in the sermon AND the sermon itself be ABOUT you. It was so personal that I couldn't get it out of my head at all since I woke up. Thank you pastor Furtick for this.
Good job I praise the Lord because you are very straight and forward Jesus has many facets of his personality he came to do a job and he did it very well the Holy Spirit has been sent to do a job and he does it very well Papa C overseas everything does a job in his awesome we give him all the praise and all the glory I appreciate your brother
I keep wondering why after these past couple weeks i havent been able to keep up with the savage Jesus series. Im usually on it when it comes to watching elevation sermons. But today, i think i understand why. Somewhere around 4mins in, he talk about dysfuntional comfort, Cepharnahum (sp?) bring denounced cause of their comfort, and such. I already knkw i struggle with dysfunctional comfort and feel like i cant escape it though i know i want to. But idk, after watching this sermon for like the 3rd or 4th time i feel like God's doing His best to get me to understand this point in my spirit and not just my mind. For me, its dufficult to come out of this dysfunctional comfort after so many years. I dont want to turn out like Sodom and Gomorrah nor Cepharnahum. Prayers would be wonderful if your spirit feels inclined to
LOVE how brother Steven said ,"if you think these passages about demon possession are about demons than you have missed the whole point of the scripture passage"
Been fighting with myself on the decision to watch this sermon because that very word dysfunction scared me now I know why I’ve become comfortable in my dysfunction my oh my this sermon convicted me in areas of myself that I didn’t even realize was wrong and it just reminded me of last year around this time when I felt a spiritual emptiness and the things-he has said in this sermon was my very problem it was like God literally speaking through this man Wow ❤️
Kemyiah McClorrine powerful comment🙌🏾
Wow, i cannot live and stay in my dysfunctional comfort because Jesus came to save me from it. Thank you for the reminder to make a decision to choose life in Him.
41:06: “The spirit of Christ is in this place.” Chills every.single.time. Can’t explain that moment, but it always hits. So moving.
If you could pray for me I'd appreciate it. Ive been heartbroken for 4 months and have been patiently waiting for Gods direction and blessings. My depression has significantly increased and am close to becoming an impatient at a mental institute.
I’d love to pray for you. I pray God comforts you in your time of need.
Will definitely keep you in my prayers!!! Don't give up hope and remember that God is always by your side.
Hungry TM I can totally relate to your pain. 7 months now. Im fighting thru. Praying. Believing. Playing sermon after sermon to keep my mind full of the word. I felt like giving up this morning. Im fighting thru. Theres a plan and purpose for suffering.
Tammy Ferguson you spoke to me, too.
Hungry TM I plead the blood of Jesus over your life, your heart, and your mind. I bind every negative spirit that is trying to defeat you. You will not faint nor continue to be weary. Remember that it is when you are weak, Jesus is carrying you! I understand how you feel. Every morning and every night I want you to look in the mirror and say “I am a child of God. He made me in his image and I shall not die, but live.” God bless you.
Woke up this morning at 7am PST searching for this weeks sermon haha. Always eager to hear Pastor Steven preach! I am a college student in San Francisco so my faith is challenged every day. I so wish I could attend Elevation Church in person. Pastor Steven speaks straight from God's heart into mine. An anointed man!
I live in the Bay Area too and me and my fiancé wish we can go to there too.
A fellow college student looking forward to Pastor Stevens sermon
I know what you mean! I’m a youth pastor here in the Bay Area and I’m on his channel every Monday like 👀! His sermons are always timely!
It’s amazing how God works, I’m in Sacramento for work, I live in Miami and I’ll be in San Franciso by the end of this month. As soon as I get back home I’m going to plan a trip to go to Elevation church for the weekend!! This man is truly amazing. I’ve been following him for 4 years now. Truly a blessing.
Selena I live in berekely, his sermons and Robert breaker bible studies on UA-cam lead me to give my life to Christ last year. If you want a sister in Christ close to you to just talk to we can arrange that! Let me know
This sermon showed up in my mail box and it brought tears to my eyes. There is a man in the background that yells "YEAH!" and I sure do miss that guy and all the noises of a crowded church building. I pray that we a the body of Christ never take for granted the wonderful sounds that assembling together is like, remember heaven will be very loud filled with the praises of God
Oh my gosh I felt this to my core. This sermon made me feel uncomfortable because it's what I needed to hear. Thank you God for speaking to me through this man. Steve Furtick is a great pastor!! He's helping change lives all over the 🌎. I often listen to his sermons on UA-cam because elevation church is too far for me.
This powerful sermon spoke to me more than any sermon I’ve ever listened to. I know all the heart ache I’ve gone though is to glorify our Lord and Savior. The quotes that resonate in my soul...“Some people are good TO but not good FOR you.” and “The devil wants us to go somewhere else, besides God, for our comfort.” Philippians 1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, what has happened to me has actually served to advanced the glory.
"When we run for comfort outside of Christ, we will not experience our calling because we got stuck in our comfort" I truly felt that...Great example of why we keep falling back into toxic relationships because we get comfortable and familiar with accepting being treated that way.😥 That pain is real...I don't want the comfort that comes from disfunction, I want the comfort that comes from God. I pray for all those who are hurting and stuffing that Pain that God may Break everyone of our chains 🙏🏽💙
JESUS is KING....
Can’t even put into words the relevance of trying to run a business and it being so uncomfortable and fearful, but it’s amazing this message helps to restore how God is trying to use me in this time while I go through the hardships. Thank you Steven!
Your the best Steven Furtick( Clem's) lol. I have been spiritual but dislike churches. I would never listen to someone preach to me, until you. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon you channel surfing. Ive watched almost every episode . its so healing how you speak realistically. I love your not perfect! I love you dont know how to solve all your problems, yet you sure know where to go for help, and your helping me in the process. I feel you have started a new positive journey for my life. Thank you. And please keep doing what you do, I need to hear your preaching k. I appreciate you , your honesty and your faith. Thank you. Here's to a new direction.
🙏 :)
Familiarity has always kept me from being truthful. Let all dysfunctions come out in Jesus name
Amen Man of God ! You are reaching out to China where I am .God Bless you.
Steven I just want to say that you really inspired me a lot and it changed my life. My name is Matthew Cantner and I just want to say God bless you and may the spirit of God rest upon you.
I came here so dejected and calling myself damaged and dysfunctional and then I hear this and now I can't stop praising God. Such a beautiful and powerful message through Pastor Steven Furtick. God bless.
please pray for me, this sermon is exactly what I'm going through and I'm coming out!
Wow this was really powerful. I long to hear this message, I needed this message so bad in my life. Thank you, Praise God Praise Jesus. Love ya
That makes me feel a lot better. I was like “I keep having issues with people I must be doing it wrong” well yes and no...
jesus loves you!!
Comfort that we choose is not true comfort...only when we reject our comfort and make the choice to step into the UNCOMFORTABLE do we experience the TRUE comfort that comes from God...so good!
I’ve seen one of your most recent videos and recommend you rewatch this one just to see how far you’ve come. Sometimes looking back at the good in your life can make a difference today. I love your preaching, Pastor Steven Furtick. It’s helped me much. God bless everybody.
Just when I was doubting myself and feeling down about where I am in life. God led me to Pastor Steven's sermon. This message was exactly what I needed. Praise God!
I have a son who was shot twice in the mouth.. he survived but he is battling with depression please keep him in ur prayers.. his name is Isaiah Ramos... Pray the he also gets the financial help until he is able to return to work... Thank You
Wow. I almost dropped my phone... Revelation is no joke. Praise God. Can't wait to share this.
This is my third time watching this and I literally just went through deliverance while listening to this video 🙌🏽 GLORY to God!

I clicked on this thinking I would just learn something that didn't really apply to me atm but MAN did I need this NOW. Thank you
Amen pastor good sermons
It is so amazing how God delivers His message at the perfect time. I needed this...💓
Megan Dawn hi where you from ?
My comfort WAS keeping me from my calling. The more I step out in faith, the more I learn to lean on God's strength.
🤚🏽 hand raised here.
Yakima, Wa in the house with you.
I don’t want to live in the dysfunction. I see it as a problem and don’t want to carry it around.
“COME OUT”
Thank you, Pastor Steven. I could not do that on my own. Thank you. And may God richly bless you for your courage to proclaim the word of God, for casting out personal demons, for inquiring of the Lord and speaking his powerful word.
I've been in such a difficult season. It's been so much struggling. This sermon helped me choose healing today.
Praying for you! ^EC Team
I just want to say thank you to pastor Steven for following Gods calling because from his preachings I was able to see Gods calling for me.

When Jesus shows up, It's Show Time!!
Spirit of Comfort come out. So hard to move forward when you've been hurt by so many, rejected and abandoned. God cover me with your wings, and set me on high as you promise in your word. Help me be what you have called me to be! Heal me from within. Restore only what you Choose! Rebuild what you desire!
I am coming out of the spirit of mediocre faith, I am coming out of defeat, I am coming out of joblessness, I am coming out of singleness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen
Second time I listen to this I needed it !!! I was sitting in a comfort zone far to long ,praise Jesus for pastor Steven
Have no idea how many times this sermon gets played. I listen to it everytime I’m in a rough place. God bless Pastor Steven
"Comfort is keeping you from your calling" - this is EVERYTHING! comfort food, comfort friends, comfort habits.
"Trouble is the means for transformation"
SAY>IT>AGAIN!!
Jesus is ready to move forward when the Father is
Thank you Holy Spirit
Always in your debt
Amen
Quite possibly one of the greatest sermons I have ever heard, Pastor Steven. God spoke to me through you about my dysfunctional comfort. I'm a different woman and a better woman for it. Thank you more than words could say.
Wow very powerful message I was comfortable being in drugs and living for the world and now that I am sober thanks to the lord I am sober I go through feeling uncomfortable at times and anxious but I know Jesus Christ has come to lead me into the right path and I am so blessed to have been saved right on time I love you God so much I am okay with the uncomfortableness because I know your here to make me strong
I loved the way drugs made me feel. I would actually beg God before I started to get high to please please give me the strength not to get high. I would pray before getting high!!!!. Until there was an ugly confrontation I was a slave to my dysfunction.
ALL DIS FUNCTION COME OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pastor Steven, you are a true gift from God. My relationship with God has grown stronger because of you. I wasn't a true believer in God until I stepped in your church and heard your words. You have not only saved my life but you have also brought me back in faith so thank you so much and I pray that God will give me the opportunity to tell you that face to face.
YES! YES! YES! This message right here!!!! This is the essence of being born again. Thank you Pastor Steven.
One of the most real, convicting sermons I’ve ever heard. Absolutely savage!
GOD speaks through Pastor Steven Furtick I'm so thankful listening to his preaching is the only thing that has kept me sober its only been 40 days but that's the hardest part but longest I've been sober since I was 13 and and 30 thank you JESUS and thank you Pastor Steven Furtick
Praise God for this message. With everything I'm going through. Praise God. I choose my Calling over my comfort!!!
This message just got so close to my heart! Thank you for preaching this
God just ministered this word to me : ) 3 years ago God healed me of chronic illness: He did a miracle raising me up from my bed, and i thought great - LIFE! But it wasn't what I thought it would be. Now I see that healing was the simple bit, just the beginning; God has been turning everything upside down, shaking out the rubbish and calling me out of my dysfunctions. As I prayed the prayer at the end I felt the Spirit dragging out the dregs. He really is 'making ALL things new', as he promised back then. (Rev 21:5)
This sermon really got to me, this was for me. It’s time to get out of my comfort zone, and put all my trust in you Lord💜 Thank you God for this extraordinary life!
Jesus is our real comfort he said i am the way and i am the truth and life this is simple
So good! I love Pastor’s anointing because God really speaks to me through his messages !! Thank you Jesus !!!
Thank you for this word, God blessed you through it for me, I receive it Whole heatedly, I know I am loved unconditionally without limits the enemy has no power over me, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord of all challenges and struggles and hurts and disappointments, and troubles, issues and pain, may God continue to be me, and cover me through everything I go through even though Believe, in Jesus Christ as the Lord and savior... I surrender to Jesus Christ for he made the greatest sacrifice ever, for humanity, and I just want to say thank you for being the propitiation sacrifice for us.... AMEN Blessings 🙏 Hallelujah 🙌🙏 praising God and Jesus Christ... THX
Maaann... this message delivered me from those dis“comforts” I was struggling with for so long. I’m so grateful for this sermon-revelation. I prayed to the Lord to help me know Jesus for my life. He is my DELIVERER!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Lord I thank YOU 🙏
Come out in the name Of Jesus! He is powerful!
This message was for me!!!!! i cant wait to get more and more. May God continue to give you more revelations and more anointing on you!!!! watching it in Zimbabwe
I will not be comfortable in the darkness . God has called me into the light. 🙏 🙏
Wow! My dysfunctions are coming out! In the name of Jesus! Amen!
I needed this my lord 🙏🙏😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Feels like this sermon right here was God speaking directly to me! Thank you Jesus for your mighty power & unfathomable love for your children
I do not want the devil I only want comfort from my creator nothing more nothing less
I am not comfortable where I am in you Lord, I need more of you
What a blessing this preacher is
JESUS COMES TO CONFRONT..NOT TO CONDEMN! WOWWWWWW! POWERFUL!!! SOMETIMES THE PROOF OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD IS DISRUPTION!!!! PREACH PASTOR PREACH!!!! TEACH PASTOR TEACH!!! ALLELUJAH!!!
One time I was a 7.5 and my head put a hole through the wall HAHAAHAH oh snap that’s huge, nature of a relationship, amen. So good.
You always speak right to what I'm dealing with or going through. Praise God! I was set free from alcoholism 5 months ago and have been gradually coming out of methamphetamine and cigarette addiction that I've been in since I was 12 years old! Today I declared in agreement that my disjunctions have to go and I'm coming out! In JESUS name. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Wow. For several years I was in a cycle of self-condemnation which turned into self-loathing. I ended up hating myself and was seriously considering ending my life. Then, after about a month and a half of this, I finally told my dad and he prayed for me and I haven't had a thought since. But what struck me in this sermon is that God uses our troubles to snap us out of our dysfunction. Going through all that taught me how I should view myself through the lens of God's word and how I should treat myself because of it. I stopped accepting that my insecurities and self-loathing were normal and learned that I'm a treasured, unconditionally loved daughter of the King.
