Yes, this is true. I am homeless with twin babies, but I am blessed. He has been preparing me for so many years in the wilderness. People may look at my life and think I’m a failure, but I know who I am in Christ!
God is open doors right now and when you walk through the door dont look back love your stand for Jesus even in the storm trust GOD sees you and want forsake you just wait on him ive been there with 5 kids and i would not have thought i would have been homeless at the age i am but God camw through just in time
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! There are lots of homeless kids without parents and parents with babies where I’m from to, you are not alone. You are not a failure, God has a plan for you. Keep having faith in Him 😇
I often disregard the fact I'm doing better because I'm not doing perfect. God does not care about perfect outcomes. He cares about perfect intention, which often manifests as small steps that will eventually lead to greater things. Praise God.
Amen nobody’s perfect, your doing amazing and I’m proud of you, I don’t even know you but your very intelligent just from the comment I read! God bless you ❤️❤️
i'm crying through this video. it popped up in my feed and wow God has spoken to me. i'm hurting but i will be better if i put everything in Gods hands.
I feel the same way, emotions distress, I've been like this for a couple of months, it got better when I started listening to these sermons every single day multiple times

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, missing somebody, depressed, hurt, scarred from the past, having personal issues no one knows about, and have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words. You're never alone. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. God is still writing your story, trust in him and all things are sure to turn good. God bless xx
thank you Maggie, for the message you wrote. i was trying to get a something from this preacher words but nothing was moving me, then i decided to scroll down to comments section and i decided to read your message you wrote as a last resort to try and feel better. Guess what. everything you wrote made me feel better than i have all week. thank you so much for commenting an encouraging message. keep writing your encouraging messages and you'll help a lot more people than just me. GOD BLESS
THE LORD ALWAYS sends me to the right place to hear exactly what I need to hear. I say "Lord I am not enough" and he says OH REALLY?? well heres a video for that, heres a passage for that. He is so amazing.

I'm in south Africa and gave my life to the lord last year February. All was going good but fell into my bad ways again. A few weeks ago I saw one of your surmons and it related to me straight away. And every sermon I listen to relates to me. I'm down and out right now but God is still helping me in little ways. Thank you pastor for all your words from God.
God's timing is always perfect. Somehow Pastor always posts these short sermon at the right time. Thank you Lord for reminding me than i am doing better than i think i am. i am progressing into everything that you have called me to be.
I've been feeling depressed and less than and I got an opportunity that's a total blessing from God, but I've been so terrified of it. So scared. I don't feel enough. This word I needed it. I needed it so much. This year has felt like i lost so much and yes its taken me backwards and it's brought me to my knees. And now I can honestly say I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm trusting God, cause I don't have a plan. Every step I'm taking I'm terrified, but I know God knows what he's doing with me even if I don't.
Currently homeless rn. I had a house and lost my way. Praying for a miracle. Perhaps this time I will have both a house and a car. God’s got me he has all of us.
“Sometimes some of us are used to so much bad, that we reject the better.” Absolutely. Better can be frightening… especially when you have endured bad. You view the better as another opportunity for it to turn bad. But it could be truly BETTER. Move forward my brothers and sisters. I needed to see this video when I did. Praise our Almighty Lord! AMEN! Thank you Steven and thank you JESUS❤️❤️🔥🙏🏻
What I love the most about this church is that Christ is always lifted up not the church or the preacher. Praise God! God will multiply this Church more better.
This is true! Better is a perspective...from a health conscious-fitness lover💕who walks everywhere, I think 🤔 it is better to walk and get exercise 🆚 the people who pull over and ask me if I need I ride because I’m walking. Somehow, they think it’s better to drive everywhere. It’s definitely a matter of perspective! I feel I’ve accomplished sooo much after running, or “walking” my errands, knowing that I’ve just made my body, mind, and spirit 💪 stronger. DON’T EVER LET ANYONE TRY TO GET IN YOUR MIND & MAKE YOU FEEL BAD OR ASHAMED AT WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE THE HIGHEST GOOD FOR YOU!
No idea why I'm telling this other then God told me to. But I've struggled with drug addiction for large part of my life and I've only recently came out of it because of Christ. He brought me out of it, because I myself can not fight those demkns, but through Christ I got strength lifts me above devils grasp. And even so we're all susceptible. Just remember every one we all have pasts , but God forgives while we sometimes keep our feeling we should shed. Praise God , glory, praise, and honor to king of kings our Lord Jesus Christ, who is only way to salvation. Another gift from God , who gave his only son to forgive us for our sins. Compassion we can never truly comprehend, God is good !
Joshua so happy to hear of your commitment to Jesus. I prayed a prayer for you to stay strong in the Lord and to protect you from the enemy. Also to bring strong christ followers into your life and to find a church you can learn and grow in your faith . God has a great plan for your life .
@@tammyhoushour8070 Thank your for your concern and caring. I have a church I go to, New Beginnings . We are small church, but they've reached far outside our home of Wv. They're planning trip to India this year, and I hope to go as well. My pastors told me good bit about his trips there and any opportunity reach out far and wide to bring the word of the Lord is worthwhile
I asked God to show me a sign, lately I’ve been feeling so down. Right when I open UA-cam this is the first thing to pop up. God you are so good. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This definitely spoke to me. That’s why I hardly go on social media as much as I used to. It’s fake and everyone on their portrays themselves to have these perfect lives that aren’t true. I spend most of my time listening to Christian music and walking / being outdoors because it soothes me. I still struggle on comparing myself to others but now I’m learning not to as much. Thank you Pastor Furtick for this, very true and inspiring.
At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.”
Yesterday I asked for some prayers and today can give praise report that my sons court went better then thought. Still incarcerated but looking better and now don't have stress as to where he is and what he's doing. Thank you Jesus for the blood you shed for me and my family
Prayers of PEACE ☝🙌☝ May GOD watch over this young man.May the dark moments be filled with a PEACEFUL presence 🙏 May his time in confinement bring him closer to CHRIST. ☝🙏☝🙌🙏🙌☝🙏☝🧎♀️
It amazes me that I don't listen to Pastor Furtick consistently yet I always seem to be lead to him to confirm my struggles. As you looked in the camera you were talking to me. Everything in my life is in decline/reverse. To God be the glory....I will praise anyhow as I am being made better. Thank you!
When my husband died, I was depressed for a while. It's gonna be 2 years this weekend, and now I'm better. When I look back on how strained our marriage was, I'm better now - no arguing, fussing or fighting or bones of contention. Just me and my dog now, and the only stress there is getting her to the vet to get her toenails clipped.
Every time I feel down, I just open UA-cam, and the 1st video is 1 with you, and the sermon is exactly what I need to hear. Keep doing God's work pastor thank you. I hope I can meet you one day and thank you in person.
Now,this is the kind of message i need.Most times,i keep comparing my journey to others and i feel i ain't doing enough.And that's the answer right there!!!!People show us the part of their lives that will look attractive in the public eye..Ain't comparing anymore..cos i'm doing better👏👏👌
Having been able to meditate upon this sermon for a few months now, I still get chills realizing the God-given revelations in this message. It's always easy to COMPARE ourselves to others and get envy for how they live not knowing that we all have our weak moments, people don't just show it. Comparison will always kill our JOY in serving God. If you are reading this today feeling hopeless for thinking that you're not enough, STAND YOUR GROUND brother/sister, recommit your life to JESUS and start finding your purpose in Him. ☝
Wow! This messages was just what i needed to hear. I have felt so disappointed and depressed. I feel like I keep missing the mark, where my emotions throw me off my path and set me back. Thank you Lord for blessing Pastor Furtick with these words! NEVER STOP PREACHING PASTOR FURTICK!
Needed to hear this, remembering the last text i sent to my mom was " i believe i could do better" saying this only a few months after leaving an abusive toxic marriage. It dawns to me that sometimes i am hard on myself and not letting only God have His way with me.
Steven, when you looked into the camera and said that, I burst into tears. I quit all hard drugs 5 years ago but succumbed to using marijuana a little over a year ago to control my anxiety. My Mom died 5 years ago, which was my catalyst for change, but the anxiety was killing me. My addiction to marijuana got so bad that I couldn’t think straight, see straight or control my emotions or temper. I prayed for so long for Jesus to set me free from this like he did with the hard drugs, and he did... 4 days ago I woke up with absolutely NO cravings, NO more temptation, NO more need to smoke anything at all!! (I was smoking cigarettes too, he completely removed all cravings for those as well!). And NO MORE ANXIETY!! No withdrawals, no nothing!! I’ve been beating myself up SO HARD for “going backwards” again in my life.... Until I opened my UA-cam app just now and saw this video as the FIRST recommendation. “Oh, how nice would that be if I really was doing better than I thought”, I said to myself. And I have been bawling throughout this whole video. You are a life saver. I’ve been listening to Tauren Wells and just discovered you this week and I can’t believe how every single day God has lead me to one of your videos that directly answers my prayers. God bless you and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! To everyone else reading; GOD BLESS YA’LL TOO!!!!
I needed to hear this today. I am in a marriage but we walked away almost a year ago but never filed for divorce. I was starting to grow and get better and I came running back and now I am starting to wonder why? Hearing this gave me a clear perspective on this. God was giving me better but I turned away out of fear. I do not belong here and this marriage ended a year ago even if we never filed for divorce. Coming back has shown me how much I was growing in god and I needed to come back to see that. Thank you!
The Lord brought me to this message right after I talked to him about this specific topic. How Great is Our God. Things like this really proves that there must be a God in heaven above. There is no other explanation for it. No one else was around and I said this in my mind. I love you Jesus and thank you for this. God bless you all.
So true, people only portray what they want you to see. This is definitely the world we live in. Being oblivious to real life issues. Something I definitely needed to hear.
Thank you steven furtick laying in hospital bed phone load so whole hospital can here I had to take a reno trip 2 hours for 3rd back surgery you have saved me I will walk again we all have to be strong like jesus christ ♥️
People need to start having more faith in them selves. When you've done EVERYTHING you possibly can and things aren't changing, then you can pray or ask God for help.
I thank God for this word, I've been depressed lately and forced myself to go back to my old ways but coz of this word, I'm gonna change my perspective
@@vitomonaco8996 Thank you so much Vito, I appreciate your prayers. I'm believing God for my rainbow baby and that I'll never ever suffer another miscarriage.
Amen. Better is a state of mind. This is what the bible teaches about. Battle fields of the mind. How we psych ourselves out. We block our own blessings. Joyce Meyer made a book on that as well. We keep thinking were not good enough and others are better than us. Regardless of finances, popularity, memory, status, job, etc. Were ALL equal in Christ. There is no condemnation in Him. What we can say is were all doing better than the fate of Satan!🙏💖
I love when people say “oh you have that big house all to yourself it’s just you and your son” “oh your so blessed to have that car” not knowing my lights just came on TODAY not knowing my water still off , not knowing the car in the yard needs a new transmission, not knowing 3 rooms in my house the ceiling is GONE . Not knowing I wish I was in a 1 bedroom because all the cleaning that needs to be done tuh …. Nawl don’t be jealous of me . “Oh your so strong minded I wish I was like you” not knowing I’m strong minded because I been in the wilderness for over 7 years . “Oh your so determined” not knowing for 28 years I gave up EVERYTIME I smelled trouble. Please don’t be deceived . I want God to bless me with a little 2/2 apt or house , because this is to much . You wanna own a home UNTILL you need a new roof or your electric needs rewiring there’s no landlord to call you are the landlord . At this point I rather rent !!!!! Be careful of what u ask for !!
as someone that's not very confident this spoke to me. I get so caught up in the metrics of success in the natural world (money, fame, accolades, etc.) and all I see is lack in my life it's so hard to step back see the truth sometimes.
I needed to here this. I have a new born son 3 month old and my wife has a 3 year old daughter that I helped raise since she was five months and I just lost my job and I'm afraid of not being able to provide. Losing my home and not being able to provide to them what they need and i dont know what to do I live in Las cruces and it's hard getting a job right now and I don't know what I'm going to do so please you prayer warriors out there please pray for me and my family our jobs and our finances.. As a father this is the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. Because I want to be able to be the best I can be for them.
Hello remember that GOD has a covenant in place for those that are in HIM. HE never allows lack in any way to overcome a believer, when they stand on HIS WORD. Believe that HE has and will supply all of your needs from HIS RICHES IN GLORY. You are well taken care of. Never fall into the trap of believing that you have to make it all happen. TRUST GOD for HE IS YOUR SOURCE! HE IS YOUR REDEEMER. JESUS CHRIST Died on the cross and suffered all so that we dont have to walk in certain things. Lack is one of them. Walk in peace that GOD Cannot and will not fail. Ask HIM for the confidence to stand steadfast and immovable in HIM. love you man. You will be fine.
I know it is easier said than done but done panic. I pray God gives you grace to trust Him, to seek His wisdom, to lean into Him even more and not lose hope or motivation. I plead the blood over you and your family, your finances and your ability to provide. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. May God open doors no man can shut. In Jesus name, amen. One day at a time.
Omg this is a message for me. I grow up with only bad things and bad experience and feeling bad all the time that i can accept better or good or love. Pray that i break this toxi cycle! I want better i want love i want Jesus alll the way and forever! Amen ❤️
Love GOD stick on his word and u will see haw much important u are how much wonderful u are in the eyes of GOD .stay strong the power of Yahoshuwa Jesus Messiah our merciful father be with you in your journey his unlimited love.stay safe stay with Jesus
This is the second night in a row I’ve opened UA-cam and randomly clicked on one of your sermons. The thing is every one of them are speaking directly to me. Lord I thank you for your guidance !!
I’ve been listening to this man for years.. I love the way he preaches the word of God. Amazing.. it gives me an extra boost in my everyday Christian life🌹
I have struggled with feeling less than for most of my life. But then there are times when I feel so connected to God and feel so anointed, that I am capable of great things. I’ve always wanted to have my own talk show, after I write my book. When I told my therapist that I could have a better talk show than Oprah she looked at me like I was an idiot. She told me that Oprah was Oprah, and then I couldn’t possibly have a better talk show. But honestly, there’s many moments in my day that I know I’m funny, smart, compassionate, and that my talkshow would be better LOL. I am a child of the most high God, the most high King. My first spiritual mentor 43 years ago told me I should start acting like a King’s kid
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” -Phil. 2:3-4. Can you imagine if Jesus had the mindset of looking proudly at himself in comparison to those around him? Thank God we have a Savior who emptied Himself and became obedient, even to the point of death. We are to serve one another as we serve Christ, our Master. Praise God for the true gospel which liberates, unlike man-centered ideologies.
I’m gonna reflect on the ER. GOD IS BETTER THAN THE WORLDLY THINGS THAT BRING ENVY. I’ve had the material things; the big house, luxury vehicles, diamonds 💍, but I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I was married to someone that envied all his friends, and had to have whatever they had. I now live in a smaller house with my child, no luxury vehicle, but I’m humble, and thank the Lord for my blessings, more importantly my peace. 🙏🏼😁💕
The only good Christian is Jesus, rememeber that every good deed before God is a filthy rag. Recognize your sin and recognize God's redeeming work on the Cross
Sometimes we’re so used to being in bad situations we’re scared when we’re put in a good situation, where I used to live I was pulled every day, this went on for years, but then I had a meeting and I moved out, I was sacred of being happy, I was 6and a half stone I was really sick, because of the constant bullying, I was a emotional mess I was very happy there I still live there but know is being knocked down, so I have to start all over again I pray that my mental health will not go down hill again
I removed myself from toxic relationship of 23 yrs. I have 8 years "clean"!! During the that time I finally took time to love myself again. It's great 👍😁 good luck it's amazing Grace!!
Finding this video on a day when I needed to hear it, one year after it was posted. I was literally moved to tears when Steven looks at the camera and says he is speaking to someone online. Thank you so much for this message and reminding me the truth 🤍
Thank the Lord for this message. I am grateful. Please help me to change these ways that ive been taught and struggle to stop continuing. Romans 3:23 ♡
Yes, this is true. I am homeless with twin babies, but I am blessed. He has been preparing me for so many years in the wilderness. People may look at my life and think I’m a failure, but I know who I am in Christ!
God is open doors right now and when you walk through the door dont look back love your stand for Jesus even in the storm trust GOD sees you and want forsake you just wait on him ive been there with 5 kids and i would not have thought i would have been homeless at the age i am but God camw through just in time
Yes! You are the righteousness of God! ❤️
Thankyou so much!!!♥️
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! There are lots of homeless kids without parents and parents with babies where I’m from to, you are not alone. You are not a failure, God has a plan for you. Keep having faith in Him 😇
AMEN!!!❤️🙏
It’s all about mindset! The Lord has been speaking this to me. “Better is a perspective.” Let go of control and move forward.
Amen!! Thank you 🙏🏻
I receive that 🙌🏾
Thank you LORD and thank you Mary!!!!

God bless you. You’re right. !!
Probably the only preacher that can get thru to me thanks steven

At this point trying to find my way back .. I agree ,🙏🏾
Me too!!
I love it. Everything is true

You’re Doing Better Than You Think You Are (Pastor Steven Furtick)
* Better is a perspective
* Better is not something you can see with your own eyes
* I’m doing better
* Better is subjective and relative
* Better compared to what?
* If you ever really get grace, you can’t fall away from God
* Instead, you must switch your grip (your outlook/perspective)
* In order to get to better, you have to go backwards
* After we receive God’s grace, it’s hard for us to adjust to it because we’re accustomed to our own way of doing things
* So, we often go back instead of moving forward into better
* Be comfortable in your life to instant that sometimes loss is the way to gain
* Be comfortable in your life to understand that some of the most painful moments in your life are the most purposeful moments
* Be comfortable in your life to stop comparing yourself to people who are not meant to be the standard anyway
* Jesus is better
* Better is relative to purpose
* Everybody has sinned and fallen short of the Grace of God
* Grace is a way of life
* Sometimes better is deeper rather than higher
* Sometimes better is a foundation instead of a feeling
* Better is not always what God is doing for you, but what God is doing through you
* Better is right in front of us, so we often do not receive it
* Sometimes we reject better when it comes
* The only standard worthy of my comparison is the full potential is Christ in me (the hope of glory)
* We don’t realize how better our lives already are
Amen 🙏🏾🇿🇦

You view the better as another opportunity for it to turn bad. But it could be truly BETTER. Move forward my brothers and sisters. I needed to see this video when I did. Praise our Almighty Lord! AMEN! Thank you Steven and thank you JESUS❤️❤️🔥🙏🏻
Amen!!!❤️🙏
Sometimes, in order to get better, you have to go backwards. 😊 😃 The most painful moments are the most purposeful. "Failure the best teacher is." Yoda
Wow was feeling like a failure when this popped up ❤
You are amazing, just know that you are worth it❤️
Same! May God help us both!
Love to all 🖤
What I love the most about this church is that Christ is always lifted up not the church or the preacher. Praise God! God will multiply this Church more better.
This is true! Better is a perspective...from a health conscious-fitness lover💕who walks everywhere, I think 🤔 it is better to walk and get exercise 🆚 the people who pull over and ask me if I need I ride because I’m walking. Somehow, they think it’s better to drive everywhere. It’s definitely a matter of perspective!
I feel I’ve accomplished sooo much after running, or “walking” my errands, knowing that I’ve just made my body, mind, and spirit 💪 stronger. DON’T EVER LET ANYONE TRY TO GET IN YOUR MIND & MAKE YOU FEEL BAD OR ASHAMED AT WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE THE HIGHEST GOOD FOR YOU!
Thank you Jesus for being BETTER by waking up everyday and keeping my FAITH. Keep me strong and a great strong mindset AMEN!
No idea why I'm telling this other then God told me to. But I've struggled with drug addiction for large part of my life and I've only recently came out of it because of Christ. He brought me out of it, because I myself can not fight those demkns, but through Christ I got strength lifts me above devils grasp. And even so we're all susceptible. Just remember every one we all have pasts , but God forgives while we sometimes keep our feeling we should shed. Praise God , glory, praise, and honor to king of kings our Lord Jesus Christ, who is only way to salvation. Another gift from God , who gave his only son to forgive us for our sins. Compassion we can never truly comprehend, God is good !
Yes...he will save his sheep from wolves
Joshua so happy to hear of your commitment to Jesus. I prayed a prayer for you to stay strong in the Lord and to protect you from the enemy. Also to bring strong christ followers into your life and to find a church you can learn and grow in your faith . God has a great plan for your life .
@@tammyhoushour8070 Thank your for your concern and caring. I have a church I go to, New Beginnings . We are small church, but they've reached far outside our home of Wv. They're planning trip to India this year, and I hope to go as well. My pastors told me good bit about his trips there and any opportunity reach out far and wide to bring the word of the Lord is worthwhile
Message received. God is ALWAYS on time. Thank you Jesus. Amen
I asked God to show me a sign, lately I’ve been feeling so down. Right when I open UA-cam this is the first thing to pop up. God you are so good. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Same lol
Amen! God is so good!
AMEN!!!❤️🙏
This definitely spoke to me. That’s why I hardly go on social media as much as I used to. It’s fake and everyone on their portrays themselves to have these perfect lives that aren’t true. I spend most of my time listening to Christian music and walking / being outdoors because it soothes me. I still struggle on comparing myself to others but now I’m learning not to as much. Thank you Pastor Furtick for this, very true and inspiring.
"The only standard worthy of your comparison is the full potential of Christ in you."
This is the first Pastor in my whole life. That I can hear, has brought me to tears almost every day since I've been listening. Thank you Father.
Amen!!!! Tauren Wells does the same for me. They're both life savers!!!!
Sometimes to get better we have to go backwards
Better is a perspective. We are doing better.
Amen
At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.”
Wow I love that so kind of u to comment!!!! I hope you always remember how God love you!!!
If you could see my bloodline, well I'm doing better. If you could see how I resist from temptation, I'm doing better.
Everybody needs to take their focus off the materialistic mindset and put their focus on getting right with God and His presence.
"..... sometimes, the most painful moments are the most purposeful moments in life."
PRAISE GOD!!!
Thank You Pr.Steve.
I was doing quite well but my life has fallen apart. Please pray for me.
Trust god it only gets better trust god it could be one of your storms god bless you!!
Hey...how are you now?
🙏🏽🙏🏽
“Sometimes loss is the way to gain”...it was just for me! Thank you!💕
Yesterday I asked for some prayers and today can give praise report that my sons court went better then thought. Still incarcerated but looking better and now don't have stress as to where he is and what he's doing. Thank you Jesus for the blood you shed for me and my family
Prayers of PEACE ☝🙌☝
May GOD watch over this young man.May the dark moments be filled with a PEACEFUL presence 🙏
May his time in confinement bring him closer to CHRIST.
☝🙏☝🙌🙏🙌☝🙏☝🧎♀️
@@mmmotiv8ed thank you so much ma'am.
@@jacoobolmstaed3621
You're welcome brother
May GOD keep you both close.
☝🙏☝🧎♀️
It amazes me that I don't listen to Pastor Furtick consistently yet I always seem to be lead to him to confirm my struggles. As you looked in the camera you were talking to me. Everything in my life is in decline/reverse. To God be the glory....I will praise anyhow as I am being made better. Thank you!
When my husband died, I was depressed for a while. It's gonna be 2 years this weekend, and now I'm better. When I look back on how strained our marriage was, I'm better now - no arguing, fussing or fighting or bones of contention. Just me and my dog now, and the only stress there is getting her to the vet to get her toenails clipped.
God speaks so much to this man that I listen to his sermons more than once
Every time I feel down, I just open UA-cam, and the 1st video is 1 with you, and the sermon is exactly what I need to hear. Keep doing God's work pastor thank you. I hope I can meet you one day and thank you in person.
I do the same
I'm tearing up in the library watching this! This is exactly what I needed to hear. God bless!
Thank you God for my sobriety without you I couldn't of made it this far. Amen
Now,this is the kind of message i need.Most times,i keep comparing my journey to others and i feel i ain't doing enough.And that's the answer right there!!!!People show us the part of their lives that will look attractive in the public eye..Ain't comparing anymore..cos i'm doing better👏👏👌
“ if you saw my blood line trust me I’m doing better “. AMEN 🙏🏼
Having been able to meditate upon this sermon for a few months now, I still get chills realizing the God-given revelations in this message. It's always easy to COMPARE ourselves to others and get envy for how they live not knowing that we all have our weak moments, people don't just show it.
Comparison will always kill our JOY in serving God. If you are reading this today feeling hopeless for thinking that you're not enough, STAND YOUR GROUND brother/sister, recommit your life to JESUS and start finding your purpose in Him. ☝
Wow! This messages was just what i needed to hear. I have felt so disappointed and depressed. I feel like I keep missing the mark, where my emotions throw me off my path and set me back. Thank you Lord for blessing Pastor Furtick with these words! NEVER STOP PREACHING PASTOR FURTICK!
Needed to hear this, remembering the last text i sent to my mom was " i believe i could do better" saying this only a few months after leaving an abusive toxic marriage. It dawns to me that sometimes i am hard on myself and not letting only God have His way with me.
You’re more than enough Queen! God will handle the rest, it’s not your job to mentally wrestle with it.
AMEN!!❤️🙏
Steven, when you looked into the camera and said that, I burst into tears. I quit all hard drugs 5 years ago but succumbed to using marijuana a little over a year ago to control my anxiety. My Mom died 5 years ago, which was my catalyst for change, but the anxiety was killing me. My addiction to marijuana got so bad that I couldn’t think straight, see straight or control my emotions or temper. I prayed for so long for Jesus to set me free from this like he did with the hard drugs, and he did... 4 days ago I woke up with absolutely NO cravings, NO more temptation, NO more need to smoke anything at all!! (I was smoking cigarettes too, he completely removed all cravings for those as well!). And NO MORE ANXIETY!! No withdrawals, no nothing!! I’ve been beating myself up SO HARD for “going backwards” again in my life.... Until I opened my UA-cam app just now and saw this video as the FIRST recommendation. “Oh, how nice would that be if I really was doing better than I thought”, I said to myself. And I have been bawling throughout this whole video. You are a life saver. I’ve been listening to Tauren Wells and just discovered you this week and I can’t believe how every single day God has lead me to one of your videos that directly answers my prayers. God bless you and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! To everyone else reading; GOD BLESS YA’LL TOO!!!!
Praise the Lord, I’m praying for you. He sees you and loves you.
I needed to hear this today. I am in a marriage but we walked away almost a year ago but never filed for divorce. I was starting to grow and get better and I came running back and now I am starting to wonder why? Hearing this gave me a clear perspective on this. God was giving me better but I turned away out of fear. I do not belong here and this marriage ended a year ago even if we never filed for divorce. Coming back has shown me how much I was growing in god and I needed to come back to see that. Thank you!
Amen!!!❤️🙏
The Lord brought me to this message right after I talked to him about this specific topic. How Great is Our God. Things like this really proves that there must be a God in heaven above. There is no other explanation for it. No one else was around and I said this in my mind. I love you Jesus and thank you for this. God bless you all.
"You know why you think other people's lives are so much better than yours,maybe its because you see the part that they show you"
“you think that some people’s lives are better than yours because you see the part that they show you.”
The most painful moments are the most purposeful moments
Some days I listen to u pastor and there are days I don’t even think I’m gona make it anymore then I watch ur sermons
Amen. U not alone but keep pushing
So true, people only portray what they want you to see. This is definitely the world we live in. Being oblivious to real life issues. Something I definitely needed to hear.
I have to be comfortable in my life and stop comparing myself.
Thank you steven furtick laying in hospital bed phone load so whole hospital can here I had to take a reno trip 2 hours for 3rd back surgery you have saved me I will walk again we all have to be strong like jesus christ ♥️
People need to start having more faith in them selves. When you've done EVERYTHING you possibly can and things aren't changing, then you can pray or ask God for help.
I thank God for this word, I've been depressed lately and forced myself to go back to my old ways but coz of this word, I'm gonna change my perspective
This is for me! I've been in the darkest season of my life, having just suffered a miscarriage, several months after losing my brother. Lord help me!
Praying for blessings to come your way Alisha, nobody should ever have to go through things like that.
@@vitomonaco8996 Thank you so much Vito, I appreciate your prayers. I'm believing God for my rainbow baby and that I'll never ever suffer another miscarriage.
We are praying and believing you will receive a restoration Alisha. God bless you. ^SF Team.
@@stevenfurtick Thank you so much for praying and standing in faith with me. I truly appreciate it.
So sorry to hear that Romans 8:18 God is always with you and cares for you
Amen. Better is a state of mind. This is what the bible teaches about. Battle fields of the mind. How we psych ourselves out. We block our own blessings. Joyce Meyer made a book on that as well. We keep thinking were not good enough and others are better than us. Regardless of finances, popularity, memory, status, job, etc. Were ALL equal in Christ. There is no condemnation in Him. What we can say is were all doing better than the fate of Satan!🙏💖
Sometimes loss is the way to gain. I really needed to hear this to stop feeling so down and upset with myself
I love when people say “oh you have that big house all to yourself it’s just you and your son” “oh your so blessed to have that car” not knowing my lights just came on TODAY not knowing my water still off , not knowing the car in the yard needs a new transmission, not knowing 3 rooms in my house the ceiling is GONE . Not knowing I wish I was in a 1 bedroom because all the cleaning that needs to be done tuh …. Nawl don’t be jealous of me . “Oh your so strong minded I wish I was like you” not knowing I’m strong minded because I been in the wilderness for over 7 years . “Oh your so determined” not knowing for 28 years I gave up EVERYTIME I smelled trouble. Please don’t be deceived . I want God to bless me with a little 2/2 apt or house , because this is to much . You wanna own a home UNTILL you need a new roof or your electric needs rewiring there’s no landlord to call you are the landlord . At this point I rather rent !!!!! Be careful of what u ask for !!
wow. beautifully said. bless you and your family. thank you for sharing! ♥️☺️ xx
as someone that's not very confident this spoke to me. I get so caught up in the metrics of success in the natural world (money, fame, accolades, etc.) and all I see is lack in my life it's so hard to step back see the truth sometimes.
I needed to here this. I have a new born son 3 month old and my wife has a 3 year old daughter that I helped raise since she was five months and I just lost my job and I'm afraid of not being able to provide. Losing my home and not being able to provide to them what they need and i dont know what to do I live in Las cruces and it's hard getting a job right now and I don't know what I'm going to do so please you prayer warriors out there please pray for me and my family our jobs and our finances.. As a father this is the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. Because I want to be able to be the best I can be for them.
Hello remember that GOD has a covenant in place for those that are in HIM. HE never allows lack in any way to overcome a believer, when they stand on HIS WORD. Believe that HE has and will supply all of your needs from HIS RICHES IN GLORY. You are well taken care of. Never fall into the trap of believing that you have to make it all happen. TRUST GOD for HE IS YOUR SOURCE! HE IS YOUR REDEEMER. JESUS CHRIST Died on the cross and suffered all so that we dont have to walk in certain things. Lack is one of them. Walk in peace that GOD Cannot and will not fail. Ask HIM for the confidence to stand steadfast and immovable in HIM. love you man. You will be fine.
I will pray that the Lord grant you peace and direction in the face of encountering a seemingly scary experience. He will cover you and your house.
Keep God first and give Him the praise even when it’s hard. God will work it out.
Are you comfortable with giving your Venmo so that I can help? It’s not much but I hope it would help.
I know it is easier said than done but done panic. I pray God gives you grace to trust Him, to seek His wisdom, to lean into Him even more and not lose hope or motivation. I plead the blood over you and your family, your finances and your ability to provide. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. May God open doors no man can shut. In Jesus name, amen. One day at a time.
I need to stop beating myself thinking I'm doing bad but I'm blessed and thankful. I Love this channel and listen daily
IMA WATCH THIS AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN LATER TODAY WHEN THEY GET OUTTA SCHOOL! 💯 THEY NEED TO HEAR THIS! 👊🙌

“Sometimes loss is the way to gain”- so true, oh man. God is good, yeah 🙌🏻👏🏻🙏
This is the second night in a row I’ve opened UA-cam and randomly clicked on one of your sermons. The thing is every one of them are speaking directly to me. Lord I thank you for your guidance !!
I feel it as well. When we need
Our angels they listen.
@@itzzzOLLIE-n64 yes indeed !
I had to forget everything I had learned and start over fresh to get to better in Jesus name! Now! I'm ready! Thank you Jesus!!
“Some of us are so use to bad, that we reject better when it comes” -P. Steve Furtick 🔥🔥🔥
The way God works is mysterious but so awesome.
I’ve been listening to this man for years.. I love the way he preaches the word of God. Amazing.. it gives me an extra boost in my everyday Christian life🌹
Yes I agree with you, he is truly annointed by the power of God and I feel it every time I watch his sermons
I have struggled with feeling less than for most of my life. But then there are times when I feel so connected to God and feel so anointed, that I am capable of great things. I’ve always wanted to have my own talk show, after I write my book. When I told my therapist that I could have a better talk show than Oprah she looked at me like I was an idiot. She told me that Oprah was Oprah, and then I couldn’t possibly have a better talk show. But honestly, there’s many moments in my day that I know I’m funny, smart, compassionate, and that my talkshow would be better LOL. I am a child of the most high God, the most high King. My first spiritual mentor 43 years ago told me I should start acting like a King’s kid
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” -Phil. 2:3-4. Can you imagine if Jesus had the mindset of looking proudly at himself in comparison to those around him? Thank God we have a Savior who emptied Himself and became obedient, even to the point of death. We are to serve one another as we serve Christ, our Master. Praise God for the true gospel which liberates, unlike man-centered ideologies.
Amén, beautiful observation and mind refresher
Such a bad morning of cycling emotions. This helped my prospective again thank you Lord
Why would anyone dislike this video?!?! Ty and Amen praise Jesus
I love Steven furtick he makes the word so understandable
God brought me here cause He knew that's exactly what I needed to hear 🙏❤️ Thank you pastor Steven
I’m gonna reflect on the ER. GOD IS BETTER THAN THE WORLDLY THINGS THAT BRING ENVY.
I’ve had the material things; the big house, luxury vehicles, diamonds 💍, but I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I was married to someone that envied all his friends, and had to have whatever they had. I now live in a smaller house with my child, no luxury vehicle, but I’m humble, and thank the Lord for my blessings, more importantly my peace. 🙏🏼😁💕
Starting over is the only thing I can’t forget how to do.
I can't go back I don't want to go back to were I was I want to be a good Christian all the way I'm working on it
The only good Christian is Jesus, rememeber that every good deed before God is a filthy rag. Recognize your sin and recognize God's redeeming work on the Cross
Right on time Jan 5, 2024. Thank you GOD!!!!! sending Jesus!!!
Man, you the realest Pastor I listen to.
Sometimes we’re so used to being in bad situations we’re scared when we’re put in a good situation, where I used to live I was pulled every day, this went on for years, but then I had a meeting and I moved out, I was sacred of being happy, I was 6and a half stone I was really sick, because of the constant bullying, I was a emotional mess I was very happy there I still live there but know is being knocked down, so I have to start all over again I pray that my mental health will not go down hill again
I removed myself from toxic relationship of 23 yrs. I have 8 years "clean"!! During the that time I finally took time to love myself again.
It's great 👍😁 good luck it's amazing Grace!!
I Received This. I Went Through The Storm To Feel His Grace And Mercy That I'm Feeling Right Now. I Know God Is Faithful!
Finding this video on a day when I needed to hear it, one year after it was posted. I was literally moved to tears when Steven looks at the camera and says he is speaking to someone online. Thank you so much for this message and reminding me the truth 🤍
Thank the Lord for this message. I am grateful. Please help me to change these ways that ive been taught and struggle to stop continuing. Romans 3:23 ♡
Just when I feel like I'm not strong enough to move forward his message reassures me that I can and I am. Thank you Lord.
Sometimes you just find something when you need it. Thanks Pastor 🙌🏼
I was really having a bad day. Then this showed up. Timing is really on point. It saved my day 💓💓
4'9, hardheaded, yet determined. Hallelujah Jesus.
