    "When you let your PAST experience regulate access to your future, you will always be stuck in a stage of life that CAN NOT accommodate what God is trying to do in THIS season of your life.... We block our own blessings because of our own disbelief." Love when I feel like the word is just for me!

    This is my first time testifying. I am a christian who was ostracised for something i had done in the past that was exposed in church. As a really young person, alot of persons especially some of my friends stopped talking to me at church, both many young and older persons alike. But a couple years passed and i experienced isolation from many persons, being by myself most of the time, crying and just feeling worthless with it affecting my self esteem, how i talked to my friends, and how i worshiped in church. It was always prophesied over me that i was special, had a powerful singing ministry and i needed to go deeper in God BUT i mean after that embarrassing event and all the shame i felt at the same time i never acted immediately on these things so i began to hide. Singing for God's glory became a burden and i was afraid of what ppl might of said because of what they knew had happened to me in the past. I was appointed the position over something major in my church and many of the persons under that ministry did not see it fit to support me, and i questioned God as to why he would appoint me over something like that. I was doubtful over my ability to do anything. But Thank God for using his servant Steven to reassure me that even an 18 yr old who has been rejected and isolated over something she has done in the past can be used to save and heal many people just through the use of her voice and singing abilities which God has blessed her to use to give glory only to His Name. At the time of writing this, i am currently an assistant choir director who is eighteen years old, who still is somewhat isolated, but has already given these problems to God and this sermon came as a reassurance at some three years after the embarrassing incident by which people still isolate me for in some way, even though it is kinda forgotten. But if God is able to use something rejected to become the chief cornerstone for His Glory, then i believe He'll use me and remove the past situation which is blocking my gates even now. Pastor Steven, if u see this, just know that not only are u more than inspiring people in the south, Ballentyne, University City and persons in the United States, but a simple teenager in the heart of Jamaica. This channel and the many sermons i have watched have literally changed my life, and i say this with tears in my eyes. Continue to encourage us with words we wont hear from persons around us, but from Lord who has put these words into your mouth. The Resurrected King is resurrecting me. God Bless from Jamaica.

    "Prisons of Offense" was life transforming for me. I love hearing confirmation of this message over and over again now. I need to hear it over and over again to undo all the years of doing it wrong! No more blame game. God is in control of the plan for my life no matter what! He is in charge of my destiny...not me or what others may do to me. I got the message and am trying to walk it out in my daily life. Thank you for listening to your call and not to the naysayers. This generation is blessed to have you. Praying for protection for you and your family. The enemy would love to take you down but I am believing that will not happen. May God continue to multiply the work that He has called you to do.

    "it's happening!" God's put a vision in my heart for a diverse, passionate, gracious church in Pittsburgh. Training for it now. That opening lit up my spirit. People look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about it. So thank you for that introduction.

    Please pray for my 17 year old daughter she is having some major issues going on in her life, we lost a precious uncle in 2015 to a tragic drowning and she was very close to him and she has been so mad at the world and at God, I tried to tell her it wasn't God's fault as to what happened to her uncle but she won't listen, she is about to lose her high school semester credits because of her attendance and the school said they would work with her if only she would go to school. She is a very sweet girl and has a beautiful heart.I need God to turn her around and make her run back to Him fast as she can. Thanks in advance.

    Day 81 !
    You cannot defeat your giants if you see yourself as grasshoppers.
    Most of us die inside coz' our issues is beneath our skin.
    Unbelief stops everything.
    It's motion activated, when you move God moves.

    Pastor...I just came home from a rough day, and something my manager said to me at work was putting doubt and limitations on what I saw.
    When I got home...this message was waiting on my phone (at the exact time of me leaving the meeting)
    I will get this permanent post, I am good enough, I am great.
    Thank you pastor Steven Fletcher for this word.

    This is so SO good! Thankyou Stephen Furtick!! A spot on NOW word! 'He will use all who feel they are unworthy and not good enough, and have been ostracised and who feel limited'. Amen! There are 2 voices in my head right now. One is the outlandish voice of God that is telling me to dream big, push the doors, to keep going and to ignore the critics. This voice is characterised by overflowing joy and peace. The other is the voice of reason.... you can't, look at the mess you have made, you are too flaky, you will never do anything for God.. etc.... Thankyou for your encouragement to listen to my spirit; to listen to HIM! And not to put my trust in what is seen..

    God bless your anointing Pastor Steven! It is ONLY by his grace that you have the ability to touch lives all around the world and speak to each one of us in a way that God intends for us to hear.
    I could go on and on expressing how limited I feel in this season I am approaching even though I have this feeling that is so so strong that everything will work out for my good the way God has promised me that it would even though I am incredibly worried (and scared tbh) about the way he will do it because my human mind really can not make sense of how it will fall into place BUT...I want to Thank YOU and Praise YOU for what God is doing through YOU!
    I will continue to pray for your ministry and family!

    I wish Elevation Church would do a note or transcription of a sermon. This one specifically. So people with hearing impairment would be able to dig and thorough the messages by reading the notes or transcription. I notice Pastor Steven does sermon kinda in a story-telling way. So that's good that even when his preaching in transcription will be good to be read. It would be like reading a story, and people loves story. I hope Elevation will consider this idea. 🙌➕

It's been very dark here lately, I know God and trying to keep my faith strong. Your words touch my soul, I know though you God just give me strength. Thank you for not giving up on your dream, if you had listened to "it's not going to happen". I wouldn't have just heard the words, that give me the most strength to keep fighting and walking in faith. Thank you again for this, and I thank our heavenly Father so much for you.
