Hey efam- where are y'all watching from? Let me know! 🙏🏻
watching from Philippines! 🇵🇭
Watching from Italy
Suitland, Maryland Pastor! I'm always amazed at how God uses you to make the message REAL and plain for me so that I can apply it daily. Thank God for you!
Watching from India ❤
Watching from Botswana
please pray for me, i am struggling so hard with my Christian walk and my connection with God.. I'm really trying
God will see you through :) trust Him and pray. Mark 9: 24b says: 'and said so with tears, Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief'. God knows this world tries to choke your belief in and relationship with Him (Matt 13), but even with all the lingering doubt and distractions the devil surrounds you with, pray and seek His face and He will be a lamp unto your Christian walk and path and it will be worth it!! He loves you!! Always remember that :)
🙏🏾💪🏾
God gives you strength you can do it believe it and you will see God taking you through
I cried the whole sermon. I was getting tired of trying to make many things in my life work as I hoped but through this message God spoke to me "You already tried hard now trust harder".
Andrea this made me cry!
me too i am crying.i have to trust Him now after all ive been and have tried so hard.that's the only thing thats left for me to do
I was balling. Lol. So I get it. It was like it just spoke to me and how I've been trying so hard to fix my relationship with my daughter. I've been trying so long. I believe God is going to do it now!!
What a word !!
This message spoke to me, somtimes it feels like im climming up the mountain but i can get up to the top, because your running on your own & sometimes you feel like no cares so why should you care, because instead of being there for you they push you away with there additude!
"you're so used to doing things alone, you keep telling yourself the same story" was meant for me. God spoke to me so much at the end. i love this
y'all please pray for me. I am STRUGGLING with grades and just stress. Everything is piling up on me and I NEED to learn how to trust in God through this
ellen zheng praying for you my friend
It is well
I pray you Lord will answer and bless my sister with the answer from Your heart that GETS her and specifically CARES for her... YOU be her Teacher, not only in Life, but in School. Be her Surprise and Salvation for the mundane stuff that really Matters... answer this prayer Lord! Amen
i'm praying for you sister
Let go
Sermon notes : John 5:1
*God suprises is with what He does and who He uses
*When you fix the symptom and not focus on the root the end is worse than the beginning
* To challenge the system is to risk disappointment
*B.S (Broken System)
*Stop inserting verses that aren’t there to keep explaining yourself
*Religion is a Broken System, Relationship Matters
*5 is a number of Grace✨
*Are you still stuck in what used to be true?
*The real work is to TRUST ❗️
*The reason God showed up for the paralyzed man was to change the entire system
* God :” I see you trying , but can you trust me”?
*Sometimes my trying gets in the way of my trusting 😭
*I can only receive certain things not by trying but by Trusting
* Let the water come to you!
*Jesus is the Living water 🙏🏽
Tnx
This message has saved my marriage! Because I had struggled for many years and today, my wife and I have finally broke through and finally started communication. And we have laid aside the past pain we both experienced and the defense we had when a problem arose. Thank you.
Im hoping and praying for my marriage restoration to happen too .. Just had a major breakdown Please keep me in your prayers .. Happy For You and Your wife God Bless
Lauren Williams what God is doing for us. He definitely will do it for your marriage. How it began for us is as a man I had to realize that I had issues and I wasn’t a good communicator. So I had to examine what it really meant for a husband to love my wife, like Christ loves the Church. I had to work on looking at my weaknesses and not my wife’s. She was doing her best and I was pointing out her faults and not looking at mine. So if y’all can get to that place of understanding you approach it and work on yourself reading the word of God. You will have a breakthrough. God is Faithful and I am a Blessed man to have a wife who has dedicated herself to finding out how to be a wife! God Bless you and we will continue to lift you up in prayer!
Vilvit Lewis Vito thank you from my wife and I!
YES Chris! Ours was saved as well!!! We began sharing our story on FB which turned into our UA-cam story. After 19 years of marriage, I sent my husband a text saying "I think our marriage is over". We have come a long way. It hasn't been easy but it's been worth it! We both learned to let God lead. Trust in Him! Our Marriage is Worth The Fight and so is Yours!🙌💖🙏
@@MarriageWTF I just sent my husband the same text message. I want so bad for things to work but I'm tired of feeling like I'm fighting alone.
I request prayers for my social anxeity thank you
i have it and let me tell you its a mind thing!! i didnt believe it i got mad at all my psychologist i swore up and down i needed medicine. finally got on the medicine and was doing super well! then when i fasted for a week the Spirit told me to stop taking my pills so i did. I was so fine! you have to trust in God. theres times where im super nervous about going out in public places alone or even talking to someone but I always say in my mind “God help me” at least control my shakiness. I still take my medicine here and there but you have to keep pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone and pray for that strength because it is hard. theres times where i still drag people with me to get gas lol.
I agree with the last comment ! But also don’t call it “your anxiety” you don’t own it . Anxiety is the enemy’s work , it’s not yours . It’s something awful that the enemy wants to convince you it’s yours so you can feel bad. Stop calling it that and pray to God for help , I will pray for you.
As soon as the enemy trys to tell you you have anxiety. Speak back NO Jesus said I was healed two thousand years ago. Get it in your heart G and the mind will transform #blessgooo Love my G all the way from NZ
Prayers and positivity
"Sometimes my trying gets in the way of my trusting!" 🤯Incredible!
Yes
Johnny Merkel that's my problem now 😔
I felt this...
same here
yep
I have struggled with depression for over 20 years. I believe God has a purpose for my life (as for everyone's), but sometimes my vision gets clouded. So a long time ago, I decided to simply pray "Thy will be done." My will was so broken. I was so stuck and paralyzed by fear. People would ask me "what do you want?" and I wouldn't have an answer. A little while later an answer came to my heart "I want to want." I just wanted to feel enough to feel the power of will, to get to a place where desire and action can meet so I could begin the task of trying to align my will with His. After years of "wanting to want," I finally feel a little spark of desire again. "Do you want to get well?" is a question I have an answer for! Yes! I can feel myself moving past the paralysis, and I know if God has prepared a good work in me, I want badly enough to trust Him.
Wow, it seems that God brought me here to listen to the message and to read your comment. It so easily could be me writing it.. Im praying for you and i, that God's Will be done, that we both learn to trust Him. I pray that God's Grace and Favour flow through you, in Jesus name, Amen.
@@dorothyjoycassilles1056 What a Joy (pun intended) it is to read your comment! I was so nervous to write it. To be that vulnerable and honest in a public forum, but if one person felt seen, then it is worth it! Praying that He uses us according to His will and that we listen and trust Him. Leaning on the everlasting Arms!
I’m battling infertility and this message came at the best time. I had just decided I can’t keep trying on my own and I listened to God when He told me to just wait and trust Him. Surrendering and giving it all to God. 🙌🏻
Amen
To be in battle against your own body will only produce more inflammation and issues. I had problems conceiving after my first, but truly surrendered to God and five years later had another child...then three more! 💙🙏
May the Lord touch your womb my sister, in the name of JESUS.
Children are beautiful but this world is evil n about to come to an end, focus on jesus, let him decide what's good for u n trust that, not what u want. Sounds rough n heartless but its anything but! Jesus wants ur soul and ur undivided love sometimes. Whatever gifts he has for u, trust that. Understand that we are in end times. Lucifer will deceive. Like why does this group of Christians pose the osiris x hand/arm pose? Idk, so hard waking ppl up, its frustrating to see so many ppl being led half-honestly, known as luke warm Christians who will be ignored by God. Im not saying u are, idk u! I'm saying I cant listen to or believe this guy who throws up osiris x hand signals along with the group doing it. That's not Christian. New age Christianity is not true Christianity. Watch Jeremiah Cohen n open ur eyes! A call for an uprising. Many fish. R$E. These are Jesus of Nazareth Christians, God our heavenly father, YHWH Christian's. They teach oin qhat symbolisms to look for, please find time to watch one video on each. U will learn 1000 things u didn't realize and u will wake up. Trust me, u won't regret it! Jesus has me telling ppl everyday. Im telling u
God bless you in this very difficult challenge!
I need prayer so bad y’all. My marriage and personal struggles has gotten me to a very unhealthy place. To the point I’m losing hope. Prayers appreciated
We are praying for you, Wisetow10! God is with you! "He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall not faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount on wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:29 - 31 🙏 ^EC Team
I watched this live yesterday & I felt Pastor Steven speaking directly to me... I'm exhausted trying to get out of my current situation. When trying ends, trusting starts & miracles happen💯👌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Praying for you Charmaine! This sermon spoke to me as well....trying is getting in the way of my trusting!
@@cherishrush6320 Thank you so much. God bless you🙏🏼♥️
@Jacobs it will happen.. Keep trusting in him
@jj j
Check NIV version..
John 5
6 . When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"
@@jacksontengeya I need to trust Him during his time. Thank you for the encouragement ♥️🙏🏼
I love how the Lord leads me to just the right sermon at just the right times❤️ bless this
I need prayer. Pray for me dealing with my depression and lack of will to live. I'm struggling to trust God in the middle of my storm. So please lift me up!!
Jacorey Norwood praying that you will experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and know that you are enough because Jesus is! You were brought to this world for a purpose don’t give up! The Lord is with you!
You have to bind that spirit of depression from your life.Take the authority that God has given you..
Lord, God, please encourage Jacorey to trust in you completely. Encourage Jacorey to want to live and show your truth - that Jacorey was placed on this earth to fulfill a special and wonderful purpose for you! In your name we pray, Amen!!! May God bless you.
Keep fighting sweetie! I'm proof that it changes overnight. I asked Him 'Jesus it's too big for me you gotta take it', and He did. Hang on baby. 🙏🏻💖🕊
Jacorey Norwood.... Don't give up but give in to Jesus.....pray without ceasing...... I've tried many times to end my life... It's not worth it, I repented of my past and look forward to the future..... Depression if not dealt with will lead you to your grave... Don't let the devil lie to you and make you feel worthless.... You were fearfully and wonderfully made bible says.... The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy... Jesus says I am the way, the truth and the life .. Fight hard... Bend a knee and ask God for help... Use bible affirmations that remind you that God loves you , stay strong and be blessed and don't let that glass get half full or full.. It's good to vent and ask others for help....
"You will receive certain things in your life from trying but only by trusting"
I've been asking myself and to God for a very long time on how to get out the loop of sins, problems thinking how to move forward, thinking how to be a best daughter. Finally, finally 😭😭😭 this message comforts me and I can't stop crying. While watching this, I keep repeating the words over and over to remind me, that God's grace and mercy is infront of me, I am just attached to the system that's why I can't hear what God says to me.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Elevation Church for posting this. Thank you Pastor Steven. God bless you abundantly.
“You cared and cared, but they didn’t care back” this message for me was related to me loss of hope for a genuine relationship with my family. I tried so long that I’ve stop praying about it. I actually feel frustrated even thinking about praying about it because it feels hopeless. God is working on me... thank you for this message
May God help you
You brought me back to Jesus. I admit, I left HIM. But listening to your preaching, I’m finally home. Thank you!
I had so many doubts and sorrows recently.
You, HIS anointment, cleared my mind.
THANK YOU!
I’m following! And I will donate!
@SECAL02 bruh are you a troll? Why are you so bitter...
@SECAL02 well if you came here looking for a fight, you will be greatly disappointed, because people are smart enough to not have to prove themselves to someone who has an affinity to causing quarrel. I also wished you watched the video because some of the stuff you are talking about have already been answered in the video. How can you argue/respond to a video if you didn't watch it? Lol
@SECAL02 my belief is challenged frequently. I don't live I fear of being challenged, it's everyday thing. Lol. If you worried about people believing in fairytales , go tell some kids that Santa doesn't exist. Or what you can do is spread the word about climate change!! That's would be productive and Darwkin would approve... maybe. You should also watch the video, but whatever.
@SECAL02 ok, but spread the word about climate change, okay! Have a blessed day!
@SECAL02 just a suggestion. Something that will make real change and help lives
I' m not a writer. In fact my English teacher hated me. I was too busy socializing to focus on literature. But, life experiences and my sister pushed me to blog, post, and write a novel about this. It seemed like I was the only one spreading this message. I'm so grateful someone with a platform like yours shared it as well. We see so many posts that tell us it's all up to us, and people don't believe how hard some of us are trying when there's no fruit to show from our effort. They think they must've tried harder or deserved it more if their health, or their situation is more secure, and more fruitful. I wrote a novel about how hard I tried to find love, to get healed, to get better, to feel needed in this world, to find a purpose, and what kind of destructive, reckless choices I made when no matter how hard I tried my efforts failed. When all you hear is you're not trying hard enough, but you know you are, and you know you've tried everything even though no one see's or believes, you feel even more defeated, because no one has the answer. So, thankyou with all my heart for this! God is using you in such a beautiful way.
I needed this again today. Thank you! Glory to God
Before Jesus could help him WALK, He had to help him to WANT! This statement alone was so me! Makes me cry just to hear it 💔😢💘
Bless you sweetheart!! I'd love to hear your story😊🤗❤ God is soo good, isn't he??
Dear, JESUS, help me WANT what you want for me in your name, Amen. Thank you for giving me the desire for you.
This is crazy. Abba just literally walked me through this process of trading my “trying” for trusting in a very tangible way. And when I did, the “breakthrough” I’d been striving for, for YEARS in vain was released. Within days.
I hadn’t really thought about scripture to back up this mind-bending move of God (my head is still spinning) but here it is, perfectly described and outlined by Pastor Steven in accordance with the gospel of John.
I’m amazed. He is faithful!!!
What do you mean by trusting in a very tangible way?
I was crying this whole sermon; I’ve been trying this week trying so hard and I know God sees that I just need to trust him thank you !
Sometimes we get stuck in trying instead of trusting! 🔥
That was me
Can you explain to me what you mean here?
Asking for as much prayer for my sister her her lungs are very weak and I just ask to unite with me in prayer over her life so she can have the ability to breath on her own without difficulty for her lungs to be restored today she's currently Very weak but just help me pray over her !!!
I feel her pain.. I have bronchitis very bad right now for almost 3 weeks.. So I pray for her for healing and her lungs to be filled with the holy spirit and not mucous... I pray her lungs will be healthy and made whole and restored in Jesus name.. May Gods will be done....
And I pray that God may restore and bring healing to you, thank you so much !
@@melisapina1364 amen sister..... I'm praying and believing in God for restoration of your sisters lungs and mine... With God all things are possible.... Praise the LORD in good times and bad times.
I feel like there are times where when I do give something my best effort and it seems like it never works out for me. There are even times where I want to give up on everything, but looking back I realized how God has kept me in His arms all these years, even when I didn't see, feel, or understand the situation. I just wanna thank God for being their for me when even the most loyal friends and family couldn't.🙏🏽
AMEN 🙏🏾💪🏾
I've never tried so much. I've never been so judged in a journey of trying
God knows how long we have tried to get out of the situation we are in..Mayb it has taken years . May today be the end of our struggle. Its enough! Disappointment will never prevent us from seeing our help that is in front of us.
Jesus fix the broken system. May we pick our mats and walk again.
Amen
Amen
@SECAL02 you're a sad being with too much free time
Proverbs 13:12 (NLT) Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
YES!!! RELIGION IS A BROKEN SYSTEM!!! PREACH THAT!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@SECAL02 did you even watch the message? Probably not
Try not to react to statements of this nature. As it is just satin looking for attention. And don't blame those he uses to try and get that attention. They are weak where he is strong. And understand he must use the weak and the ignorant cause he can't use us. Instead pray for or dear friend here for he knows not. And in that prayer, pray he doesnt learn the hard way as so many of us do. Go to God young soul, he's waiting for you with open arms and forgiveness. Trust him. I rebuke you satin in the name of the father, OUR FATHER, the son and the Holy ghost, let this soul go. YOU HAVE NO POWER IN THIS ROOM!
Hardest thing to do when you have been through so much disappointment and pain. "TRUST"
Pastor said I forgot I was talking to the Allstars😂😂We all need God straight up 🤘💯
if you’re reading this please pray for my soccer tryouts and my mom!!
This message spoke to me on a different level. It felt like he was talking to me. I'm 17, going through teenage problems. My anxiety about how I feel like I'm not good enough in someones eyes has made me start to develop poor and negative habits...
I know that this isn't the life God intended for me to live and I feel like he brought me to this message. I'd been trying so hard for so long to work through my silly issues without really fully trusting that he's got my back.
Kayla Ray your issues aren’t “silly”. You may be surprised at how many people are going through the same thing you are. God definitely has your back and cares about your issues. You are enough.
Same
I know that this message was from 2 years ago but it spoke to me like it was told just yesterday! God is amazing and knows exactly what you need, and when you need it. 🙌🏾 🙏🏾 Thank you and God bless you
This message has the power to change your perspective on what it looks like to trust in God. I’ll be thinking about and applying this to my life all week long. Love this word!
I need Jesus. I lost my daughter, my best friend, I don't know how to heal or live without her.
Praying for your peace 🥺💕
Trust me I’m TRYING!!!
Religion is a broken system, thats why Jesus wants to meet me one on one. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's time to stop trying in your own strength. Trust God that He knows what he's doing. Wow. Thank you, Pastor. I'm encouraged and challenged.
God,
I ask that you soften mine and Shera heart for each other, that you remove any blocks to our communicate. Remove any outside negativity, jealousy, influences, pride, ego, anger and resentment we may knowingly or unknowingly have towards one another. End Physical separation between us and bring us together in a harmony union. So we can rebuild our foundation on your rock. Thank you Lord God for hearing my prayer 🙏🏼 I love you. In the mighty name of Jesus amen.
I never comment on videos, but I had to say that this message is an on-time word for my life right now. I listen at this message 2-3 times every day. So thankful for this ministry.
Zsaquez Flucker I feel the exact same way. I needed this message at this time in my life...
Trust Me, I'm Trying 😭😭 😭 But Lord I Trust You 🙏
God loves you
Yes he loves me 😍
Ok let me remind you. Isaiah 53:5.He was wounded for our transgressions,he was bruised for our iniquities.the chestisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed.it all explain's the love he has for us.
Amen blessings to all who have received the message of God. Thank you Pastor Steve for being the. It is an honor to be here EVERYDAY❤😊
Took me 6 years to get my associates and I wanted to just give up but I’m almost finished I have one semester left I listen to your sermons almost everyday and your sermons really help me through so much !!!
Tracey Harris sis keep going, God will help you through it... took me 4 years for my associates, another 3 years for my bachelors .. graduated high honors for both.. and currently working on my masters which would be an additional 2 years.. all while working full time, living on my own and honoring my ministries..
I'm in the same boat with you. I was drifting and just taking a class here or there and I thought I wanted to do nursing. However, I decided that it wasn't for me. Now I'm pursuing an associates in physical therapist aid. Just keep on keeping on and pray to God. I know that he will pull us through towards our purpose.
@@esterf7064 I applaud your hard work we just got to pray for each other!
Michael Weeezeee it is definitely all God! I did change my major a few times during my associates trying to figure where God wanted me to do. I went part time.. so I know how you feel.. we definitely have to pray for each other.
I'm 38 years old. I needed this desperately right now.
You spoke the words I've been feeling for 2 years. I was so excited and I've started to think I was crazy. I'm ready Lord. This is my word
I am lying for 59 years and so needed this message today..was on the brink of loosing my will to go on..THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I am in seasons of disappointment for many things in my life.
I have always heard obedience=healing.
This is different.
I am trying to trust God more.
North Carolina!!!! ...Teresa Sheets!!! PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD!!! LOVE IN CHRIST!!!!
Heal my will, a prayer I didn't know I needed to pray.
I 💙 this sermon...thank you Lord for using Pastor Steven Furtick for always trying to deliver your truth...I ask you to please help me stop trying but to truly trust you in all things especially my struggles and battles in JESUS NAME AMEN!!!! 🙏🙌🙏
This came just when I needed it. Dont stress guys. He knows exactly what you need and it will ALWAYS come on time. God bless.

The Lord works in mysterious ways and He performs miracles everywhere and everyday!

Ty for protection for our military that are all over the world fighting for our country, go before them to make good sound decisions, of a peaceful nature not intended to stir up anger nor controversy.

TY JESUS!!!! HALLELUJAH
Your preachings are always good, everyone understands them!!! Even when you think you didn't do good, God is using you for someone
Praise the Lord. I believe it is important to support Christian witness on social media. It is a blessing to be able to accesses sermons, testimonies, worship songs and Bible teachings from a PC or phone at any time now. Thank God for modern technology.
Truth brother Truth will set you free AMEN AMEN AMEN hallelujah AMEN bless you father God using this man for your Truth 🔥🔥👏👏🛎🙏thank you lord
Is it just me or does pastor furtick sound like he’s going to pull a WWE smackdown

John 5- When we can't get to THE Water, The Living Water comes to us. I love how Pastor pointed out Ch4 and Jesus told that woman at the well He was the living water and now Jesus was showing us HE is The Living Water!!! God is so good.
One of My favorite Christian Channels is Living Waters!!
Yes Father! I WANT TO GET WELL- IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GET WELL! I know who this was for Pastor Steven- please trust with your spiritual eyes, my words, THIS IS FOR ME, YOUR EVERY WORD OS PERSONALLY DETAILED FOR ME. DOWN TO 38 YEARS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE, MY SYRINGE WAS SPIKED BY AN ENEMY, POSING AS A FRIEND. JESUS performed a miracle on me when I was 38, healed me, I tried to tell ALOT OF PEOPLE, THE SYSTEM IS STRONGER THAN THE SYMPTOM!= NO HELP, MORE JUDGEMENTS- MORE LOST HOPE EVERY TIME I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS- I CRY TEARS OF RELIEF AND JOY THAT IVE BEEN HEARD BY YOU, THRU CHRIST. I COULD NOT GET TO THE WATER- THRU TRYING- I TRUSTED GOD WOULD HELP BRING THE WATER TO ME, AND HE DOES, EVERYDAY, THRU HIS SPIRIT,, MAKING A SENTENCE IN A CONVERSATION- OF PEOPLE PASSING BY, THE MESSAGE I NEEDED TO HEAR, IS LOUDER. SAME WITH MUSIC, EVERYTHING/EVERYONE I ENCOUNTER IS A STRONG MESSAGE.. THIS ID DEFINITELY A MESSAGE OF TRUST AND NOT TRYING, TRYING SEEMS USELESS. I TEUST HIM, BEFORE I TRUST MEDICINE, DOCTORS, LABELS, TREATMENT CENTERS, AND WHO I AM, AND NOT THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS. 38 YEARS IS A LONG TIME- I WILL BE 41 IN 2 WEEKS, THANK THE LORD- ITS TIME FOR REST!
I need prayers for my Hindu dad and as I got board exams this year I need to score well

The past week I really was tired of trying...I have been trying so long in a particular area of my life...and I literally felt like giving up... because I didn't feel like I was going to go anywhere with what I was doing...through this message it looks to me like God is calling me to trust him...it has kindled a lot of questions in my mind....😐
@@miaporter3550 I am in the very same situation as you are...I am in a job I hate while my dream career demands me clearing an exam at which I have failed thrice.. and the third time I went into such a bad depression and God brought me out of it...somehow I have begun to try again but yet...I dont feel like I am getting anywhere...and this message was on time for me too..
@@jennyi4121 Thank you for sharing and responding I will keep you in my prayers.
Love the message, but it struck my curiosity when he said "John 5:4 was added". I'm a Bible student, and just wondering what he means? Because my spiritual leaders weren't able to confirm that for me. If anyone has time to clarify that for me, it would greatly appreciated. Thank you, God bless!

Please pray for our little town a week ago we lost 2 young boys to a tragic car accident and 2 were hospitalized with life threating injuries and pray for the first responders and the truck driver involved in the accident
This message was everything i needed this week.I have been chronically ill for the past 6 years.This week i had an apointment with my Gp and it went really well,i felt heard and understood which is rare.But I went home and my sister basically told me that the reson I am sick is because I’m not open to options and I’m not trying hard enough.But the truth is I had bad visits in the past because I’m still only 20 years old and I have fought this illness for 6 years,I have been disappointed and walked all over because I’m young.I was happy this time because now my GP admitted that he doesn’t know what to do and referred me to other doctors who i think might actually be of bigger help!This encouraged me to keep trying!So thanks Pastor Steven🙈
Wow, sounds like this message came at exactly the right time! Thank you for sharing this - I'm sure it wasn't easy.
Julie Zollo It absolutely did!Thank you✨
@Lu Kanyile Thank you so much!
Lord Jesus came to save the sinners that know they need a god. not the rightous that need nothing including a god.
Sometimes I feel like I take matters into my own hands when it comes to making important decisions. However I never realized until after the fact that because of the choice I've made I end up hurting something or someone in the process. Father please help guide me in you will.🙏🏼
More than a year after the fact, TODAY this is MY Word!! wow I AM TRUSTING YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PREACHING THIS!!! I have heard this scripture taught by other peachers like Pastor Furtick described and it always bothered me. I never understood why they assumed Jesus was frustrated or condescending toward the paralyzed man at the pool. Thank you.
I literally can't say I'm trying.. without getting chocked up.
Pastor Furtick your sermons are a MUST for my daily routine! God BLESS you for allowing him to use you to serve his purpose! 🙌🏾🙏🏾💙
Name means Love... Widad. Honoring my KING OF ALL KINGS first. Then my COUSIN KJK. Then my Daddy. Then EVERYONE AND SGT. SR AND ALL MY FAMILY. And FAMILY IS NOT JUST BLOOD RELATED ITS ALL.
JESUSCHRIST MY FIRST KING OF ALL KINGS😊
Love them all.
Lord, I heard you through your good servant. Keep preaching Pastor Steven Furtic🙌🇿🇦
I swing big but I miss a lot. But trust me I’m trying.
All the way from phx az pastor Steven I been trying to go to your church for a year god willing I can make it happen. Keep the good vibes going amen.
All the way from Mcallen, Texas..trying to go to see Pastor Furtick too..just to see him live!!
I’m stuck in a broken system. The injustice has destroyed me. Left me abandoned and forgotten. I know God won’t forsake or leave me, but I’m just so overwhelmed and broken, I am struggling to find my joy. But I am worshipping my way through my worry.
Watched this on Live Stream ,but had to watch it again. Great message that truly spoke to me on a personal level this week. Gave me the motivation to keep going as I was feeling discouraged ❤️.
@TinoX I am so glad this message gave you motivation to keep fighting and trusting God in your situation. We are praying for you! ^EC Team

I am from San Antonio Texas. Pastor Stephen, THANK YOU for doing what you do everyday!!! I listen to your sermons every morning driving into work. When I get to work I jot down notes. At night I review what I wrote down and pull my Bible out and start to read.... THANK YOU for always reminding me that Jesus has not left me! I pray his hand over you and your family always!!! Thank you🙏
Thank you for sharing your testimony with us! We are glad to know the Lord has been faithful to you.🧡🙏🏽
"Let the water come to you." So. Good.
I never comment just a watcher. This one is for me ! Thank you JESUS!
its as if god himself was spekaing to me through this sermon. had a major disappointment today and .. well. this helped so much that i cried at the end, thanks a bunch.
“I make it a point never to punish someone who’s trying to be proactive.”
I have heard many messages from Him....... But this by far is my personal favorite!!! I am trying!!!
Most of the time, we are trying to do things we just can’t do without the healing power of Jesus. When we surrender our efforts to heal ourselves and pray for Jesus to heal us, He will heal in His way and time.
Trying and trusting goes hand in hand....maintaining that is the problem. I'm not going to give up. Great sermon.
i been trying this whole year man.. and these kids are really trying my nerves yall please send extra prayers for me
"This isn't about trying, this is about TRUSTING" - I've been seeing this play out in my life more and more every day. I'm believing God for 100% healing in my will. I trust you Lord!
