    4/21/22 I have listen to Steve for the last 9-10 years. It started in prison I watched him grow. I graduated Victory College in prison in 2014. Going through my own struggles after prison, now matter what I’m going through I will always tune into Steven’s newest sermons. They are always on track with my life.

    It's 7/17/23 very early in the morning, I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ, I never thought I was good enough and would constantly disappoint God, but now I know there's life after the let down. I already feel a difference. Thank you Jesus.

    I have fought with depression for many years but I knew God was with me. I have thought about my mortality so many times but told myself that I didn't choose to be born so it is not my right to end my life. December 31, 2019 I had every intention of ending my life. Had the clearest plan I have ever had and in that moment I called for help. There was no delay, no waiting list, just answered that changed my life forever. I have survived this pandemic through the grace of my father above. I started college in 2020 and now have my associates degree. I'm currently working on my bachelor degree and I know jesus is the way to the father and I trust in him to guide me home when he is ready to bring me there

    As I listen, I realize that God has been the Lord of my letdown for a long time. The Lord began teaching this to me when I became disappointed and angry at Him for not providing the daughter I knew He promised. (Long story with validation) I still professed Him as my God and told others about Him. I still praised Him. I still loved Him. Later, He gave me a vision of the baby I lost through miscarriage at 19. She is in heaven waiting for me. He holds her and takes care of her. She is happy.

    A friend sent a link to this video. She knew nothing of what was going on. The guilt of feeling as though we have let Jesus down is overwhelming and the devil can make you feel like giving up. I am so glad God laid it on her heart to share this video. Very much needed and appreciated. I pray for all those who are discouraged and feel they’ve gone too far or sinned the unforgivable sin. Hard as it is get up and keep running the race. Nothing we do catches Jesus off guard. Like you said, Jesus don’t need us to hold Him up. Praise Jesus!!!

I have struggled with alcoholism for years now it has taken away every thing from my relationships, my finances, my faith, and my health. As I type this message I am in bed unable to walk properly because I just survived a road traffic accident driving under the influence. I am in a point of sorrow regret and all sorts of disappointments. This message gave me hope that there is life after the let down. I have given my life unto Christ once again I believe this is a turning point in my life I will live to share my testimony with the world by God's grace. God bless everyone listening to this right now indeed he has not finished with us.

    Hello Pastor Steven. Thank you so much for this message. I've been feeling down lately. I don't know what's gonna happen in the future. I feel disappointment especially towards my husband. And right now, I feel like our marriage was a disaster. My brain has been telling me that I shouldn't marry at all. I regretting my marriage so much. I wish I stay single for a long time and not married to anyone. My husband has an anger management issue. He got angry most of the time. The last time, my husband got into an argument with my parents. He hated my parents so much that he started to isolate himself from everyone. And it breaks my heart very much. We have a child and he's still 1y.o. We came from a very different family background. I wish I knew what I will face in the future before married to him. I wish I knew that I will have difficulty with his family. But everything is too late. The voices inside my head keep telling me that everything is chaos. That no one can save our marriage life. That our future will be so bad.
    But your sermon just reminded me again about how God's working in our life. At some point God will let us down with things around us, just to give us a miracle afterwards. And right in this time, I'm on my lowest moment. My family is in the lowest moment. God, please help me to stay strong throughout all this storms. Please remind me that Your plan is for our good 🙏

Now I see He was preparing me for that for years, knowing when I would be ready. But I still tried to cling onto what he was trying to rescue me out of. He sent you to speak life and hope and faith and power and strength into me, so I could stand, then afterwards, still stand.

    Pastor Steven, Your words are spoken with so much authority and so much passion. I found you and elevation at the beginning of the pandemic. I was so low and couldn't find my way up. I had lost my connection to God and you and elevation gave me the way back. I look forward to every sermon that I hear! This sermon is one for the books! I have never heard such a passionate Easter sermon that is so relevant to life as a Christian! Thank you for all you do for the Lord! Looking forward to .elevation nights and experiencing all this in person! I am putting aside my fear of crowds just to see you and hear you in person! God bless you, Holly and the kids

      The single most important message of all prophets to their people was to worship God alone and none else and to follow His teachings. All of them, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad and others, in addition to those we do not know - invited people to worship God and shun false gods.
      Moses declared:"Hear, O Israel The Lord our God is one Lord."(Deuteronomy 6:4). This was repeated 1500years later by Jesus, when he said: "The first of all the commandments is, ‘Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.’(Mark 12:29)
      So, the greatest commandment, the most important belief according to Jesus, is that God is one. If Jesus was God he would have said, ‘I am God, worship me.’ Instead, he merely repeated a verse from the Old Testament confirming that God is One.
      This aligns with the mission of Jesus, as taught in Islam, where Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel to confirm the message of the past Prophets - to believe in the One True God.
      most Christians nowadays believe in trinity.. Jesus said i came not to destroy the commandments of moses i came just to fulfill.
      Muslims reject the Christian belief that God is a Trinity, not only because the Quran rejects it, but also because if this was God’s true nature, He would have clearly revealed it to Abraham, Noah, Jesus and all of the other prophets.
      ISLAM is the submission in worship to Allah Alone and it is the essence of all the Messages sent to all nations before us. Allah is All-Just and All-Wise. He does not intend confusion for His Creation. The religion accepted to Him is the one chosen by Him. Its essence must be One, because He is One. It is free from geographical, racist, and status oriented concepts. It is Perfect and it is the complete way of life. All these qualities are chosen by Allah in His Only Religion: Islam. Its details are in in the Qur’an, read it and come with an open heart because none can expose better than the World of Allah. The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. He did not author it. He was unlettered. Its translation is available in many languages in bookstores or in an Islamic Center close to you. Take the time to read it and come/call the Islamic Center, or speak to someone who re-verted and submitted to Allah Alone.

    Notes:
    John 20
    John 20:30
    Based on belief we have salvation, not by behavior
    He’s not finished
    John 21:1-12
    Sometimes the greatest way you can invite God into your life is with an honest “no”
    Jesus asks Peter do you love me? Three times because Peter denied him three times
    We can’t experience the events of Easter without experiencing the events of the cross
    The same blood that we rejoice in represented for the disciples a broken promise and an unmet expectation of the kingdom that Jesus came to bring
    God loves to fill what is empty, and to empty what is full
    Luke 5:4
    If he didn’t die, his teachings wouldn’t be here
    Jesus had a whole world to reach, but was with the disciples, cooking them breakfast
    Not only that, he calls them his “friends”
    He chooses the lowest moment of your life sometimes to reveal his greatest love
    Just because Jesus arose, didn’t mean the disciples knew what to do next
    Faith doesn’t help you avoid storms, it helps you transform them
    The more you hope and trust in God the greater vulnerability there will be in those moments in your life where the enemy whispers God is not with you
    We don’t hold God, God holds His own
