Dude, LB! You can preach! I love the honesty and the vulnerability. I am an alcoholic in recovery and in this chapter of my life God is taking me back to those buried traumas, sins, hurts and He is leading me to uncover them to both lead me to repentance and to heal. He could not do this miracle in my life until He first humbled me and I am ever so grateful to be alive, saved, and redeemed. Great message. It helped draw me closer to what God is doing in my life today.
Man, Pastor Brey has an anointing. This sermon is so powerful for me and spoke to me in so many ways. I will meditate on this for a long while and probably come back and listen to it several more times. God bless you Pastor Brey! ♥️🙏🏿
Wow… for days I’ve tried to listen to this sermon and I couldn’t. I know now why… all of what he said… the stones, the shame, buried, memories, how I see myself is one of my greatest battles, the what if, that would, but God… to God the glory for always speaking to me! 😭😭😭😭
talk to my Father in Utica NY who watches Elevation! I absolutely loved this sermon. it ministered to me big-time! My Father also thought in His words and NY accent... " Fabulous"! love that even when Pastor Steven isn't there you still get a Fresh-HolySpirit-life changing message from LB!
You first give your life to Christ and become saved. Then the baptism of the Holy Spirit is who helps you to basically stay saved. He helps convicting, correcting and changing you in your walk with God. He is the Advocate.
Pastor LB you never disappoint me and all those universal eyes who sees you - But most importantly God sees you and He is the Final Judge - Hear these words and believe!
Life giving like no other sermon I have ever heard. Like literally! So timely. Healing balm to my broken spirit. Thank you! I am fighting for my marriage (we both know God), my husband just lost his brother, and I am in the fight of my life for hope and peace for the endless storms that are raging. This sermon reminded me that I am not alone and that he loves me. The fight I am fighting is not good but fighting it is necessary to change me for good. What a truth! It will be a good fight because God already wrote my story. I can keep fighting as I rest in the knowledge that he loves me and works everything for his good. It’s not good now, but it will be. Thank you- thank you!
Twice I've had the pleasure of visiting Elevation Church. This past weekend I was grateful to bring my sons who are 5 and 9 with me. Both times visiting, LB preached. This was not coincidence but God's plan. Larry's sermons have been so impactful to my life. His words of wisdom stick with me. I love when Pastors admit their past, and their wrong doings. The first time I visited, he put his pride aside and publicly apologized to his daughter, which I was admired. This time, my children got to hear his past. As he spoke about drinking at 5, all I could do is sit in silence and hope his words made an impact on my youngest, who like Larry, is allowed to drink alcohol and the adults think it's funny when in the care of others. Unfortunately, this is something beyond my control, for reasons I cannot speak publicly about. All I can do is teach them right from wrong, and encourage their faith and help lead them to become mighty warriors of God. One of my most proudest moments yet was this past weekend when at the end, both boys shot their hands up and gave their life to Christ. We were meant to hear this message. Thank you to the volunteers at Ballantyne who were all incredibly nice. And all those who commented on my 5 year olds' suit and shark slides which he HAD to wear lol while my oldest was rocking a surfer shirt and vans. As we were leaving one man shouted that he had the outfit of the year. Needless to say, they can't wait to go back to the church that has the concert lol.
Holly and Steven please put my son Dalton in your prayers he's being released from prison in 9days ,he's be 27yrs old but as we all know hes still my babe ,just come in agreement with me that God will put the right people there for him he really has noone but me open doors and close others ,thank you ,maybe you could text me let me know .8i love you guys with all of my heart I know your on your so may God Bless and keep you .All my 💕💕
When God closes one door, HE will open a better one …for a better life & lifestyle…In Jesus Christ Holy name, I pray ( for your son to be set free INDEED) amen 🙏🏼 amen 🙏🏼 & amen 🙏🏼!!!
this prayer hits home for my own son , only difference is he has a few more weeks. Please keep Xavier Avery in your prayers as well. I am praying for your son Pennie 🙏❤️
@@jennifertate7257 Absolutely,I come in agreement with you right now that will be with him and use him for His purpose in Jesus name Amen I raise him up to the Lord our God ,just give him to the Lord ,God will take of His children ,AMEN AMEN
LB, I love your sermons. They inspire and uplift me and make me ask myself honest, and sometimes hard, questions. Thank you for your example of faith and honesty.
That is also my favorite sermon from pastor Steven from 2012. That Fear 101 series was EVERYTHING. Been searching the internet for that series for a while now.
This word is so timely, thank you so much! I was fighting everything (& my partner), wondering why we kept struggling and why I wasn't seeing God's promise fully fulfilled in our lives. Now i see who the enemy is, and i realise his tactics! So i stand in faith and fight for God's promise for my partner & our family!! Thank you for obeying God and sharing this word ❤️
@@Benjamin-un1wl no. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord an savior confess with your mouth he died on the cross an rose again 3 days later. Then after that start repenting of your sins, an follow God laws, statutes an commandments to walk upright an righteously. Read your Bible a few verses a day or get a verse a day app to know how God wants us to live. Hope that helps brother. 🙏🏼
@@Benjamin-un1wl I think it’s a nice offering to God but I don’t think it will stop us from going to heaven personally. I’ve been baptized a couple times.
@@Benjamin-un1wl the way I understand it after doing some quick reading is that it’s being obedient to Gods word even tho the baptism isn’t what saves us but Jesus who saved us so in a way it is necessary because we must be obedient to Gods word. It actually mentions baptism multiple times including the Acts vs you mentioned. Good stuff brother. 🤙🏼
Lord help me and my loved ones especially my husband, children, n grands be able to say that in Jesus name. Help us oh God. We can't do it without u but with u we can do all things Jesus. In your name I pray, amen.
Pastor LB! You're so great! I love the way you deliver the message. You're a wonderful speaker and your points hit just right! Thank you for this. It's thursday night and i have just now been able to listen. Grateful for you.
Thank you LB !I really appreciated your sermon.Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.They really resonated with my heart. It helped me reflect on the Blessings and Grace that God shows his children when we are struggling 🧡🙏🏼
Larry- you smashed it today brother. Your past story touched me as we have that in common. I too am free from drugs and alcohol. I seem to be holding on to something? I should be able to answer that I AM question with joy in my heart. With a few tears today I realized that something is missing or I have not fully let go of something. I am going back to find out.. thank you brother. Thank you for being so real and such a good brother in Christ. anointed brother. I too want to do what He saved me for. I am so tired of standing on the sidelines waiting. “Get up and go back” yes I will…
Thank you LB for this message! This hit home with me today. My past does still bother me and I am afraid it will try and define who I am today. I really needed this. 😌
YES YES YES Thank you LB for your openness & vulnerability to speak your truth! That is exactly what God is using you for; to touch other's lives that have "ugly" shameful cemetaries in their closets and feel "too dirty" for God or even for church. After a "dirty" summer in 2016 the Lord used football to get me in His presence and He used a saint to walk me down to an altar call where I gave my life away, but I had no idea what to do after that (reformed Catholic). This woman got my number and the next morning sent me a UA-cam link of Pastor Steven Furtick. I hadn't been in a church since that winter living in Rome (Catholic) and I expected that was still how churches were, quiet, formal...stuffy. But then I see this dude in jeans and a T-shirt just PREACHING the word truthfully and unapologetically, passionately LOUD and I knew I needed a church and a pastor like that! Since then I've been baptised, been on missions trips to Nicaragua, Peru and LA. I teach third grade at a private Christian school and serve on three ministires within my church. All that after a summer in bars, strip clubs, and beaches. Don't run and hide from your past; see it how God sees it! Much LOVE
🙌 Wow, Sarah! We're praising God for what He's doing in your life. Our team would love to hear your story if you'd like to share it here: elevationchurch.org/contact/
@@Benjamin-un1wl Well being baptized is the seal of GOD you would say cause in scriptures it say unless a man be born of water and of Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven and being baptized is saying that you commit your life to CHRIST and the old life you live that where you use to walk according to fulfilling your fleshly or worldly desires are no longer because you are baptized to show that you have been born again into the Resurrection of CHRIST JESUS. And who the SON sets free is free indeed, you can get someone who is of CHRIST to baptize you but that doesn't mean you have to stay in that church but are now given the opportunity to share with the world and others what JESUS have done for you. GOD bless you
@@Benjamin-un1wl When baptized in JESUS name we are baptized into His resurrection and as He ascended He given us His HOLY SPIRIT which is the comforter and the seal of GOD so by baptizing in JESUS name we automatically receive the HOLY SPIRIT, Some receive it even before baptism by living a righteous life through faith and doing good.
@@Benjamin-un1wl It's true but they haven't heard of the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT until that time so they didn't believed in the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT until Peter and John told them about it
Thank you for this message! I've been struggling with some personal and health issues and have been not as trusting in God as I have been in the past to be good. I will try to trust him in this period of waiting and praying that our connection can be restored.
May your prayers help me I was let go off my job, I have been looking for a new one for three months straight nonstop ....nothing has come back positive as in not even an interview... I would love you to help me praying along may God provide me with a blessed income or employment ...soon🙏
Thank you LB, Fantastic Message, Even my fur Baby name is EmmaMae, Cause we're all fight to make it through this life....script or scripture..NO BUT GOD SAIDS! 🥰🤟💜💜💜💪🥊🥊
Thanks for joining us, Laura! Our team will also be getting together this Wednesday to discuss the message on CoffeeFam. We'd love for you to join us! It's 9:00AM ET on this channel. Feel free to bring your notes and let us know your thoughts in the chat when you join us!
@@Benjamin-un1wl If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9
@@Benjamin-un1wl it's a no. I believe baptism is an act to show your faith, but I'm not a theology expert. It's an external sign that one has chosen to die with Christ and live as a new creation.
End results...God wins...souls saved...it's not about us. We get our time and space...if we use it. I did the best I could. Still trying with those I communicate.
When the Pharisees heard all this, they sneered at Jesus, because they loved money. Jesus said to them, “You are the ones who make yourselves look right in other people's sight, but God knows your hearts. For the things that are considered of great value by human beings are worth nothing in God's sight. Luke 16:14-15 How much worthy you are in the eyes of Lord is important, than what world speaks well of you ... Lord Jesus was put on cross, for the world considered him to be unworthy, However to that level of highest position was his worthiness in the EYES OF GOD... WHAT HUMAN CONSIDER HIGH IS UNWORTHY TO GOD AND WHAT GOD CONSIDERED TO BE WORTHY IS UNWORTHY FOR HUMANS, THESE ARE OPPOSITE TO EACH OTHER.
@@Benjamin-un1wl “I am telling you the truth,” replied Jesus. “No one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. John 3:5
@@Benjamin-un1wl how does that matter what I say, truly i tell you the words that I spoke is not of mine but it is God who makes me to speak, I am just another tool used by God.. so the Tool doesn't make any worth, it is the creator who use the tool shall have all Glory and Honour. Listen - the 1st thing you need to learn about Christianity is, it is not religion, it is life, which mean you have to be a spiritual Man not a Religious Leader which you see around, you are to be Jesus ( I didnt say you become like Jesus, but be JESUS), so then this is the purpose of Lord Jesus put on cross, so that each and every Human Being shall posses the HOLYSPIRIT which will enable them to be JESUS. THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL OF CHRISTIAN LIFE. otherwise how can one Man save all World, how can Jesus be called saviour of World. The HOLYSPIRIT will make people to be born again, it will make you a new person, the secret of Heaven shall be revealed to you, enlightenment and wisdom shall flow from God to you ... The Lord Almighty only will directly teach you, he will communicate to you ... You will forget yourself, who you are and what you were... The more the weak you are, more that you will be strong, because your strength will be Lord himself. So then You have to get baptized by Water and HOLYSPIRIT (mandatorily), the water will cleanse you physically and HOLYSPIRIT shall cleanse your SOUL. which will make you worthy to enter into Kingdom of Heaven.
@@Benjamin-un1wl Yes, you need to pray and submit yourself to God, so that The HOLYSPIRIT of Jesus be upon you which is the mark of you been with Lord in Heaven. However everything should be done as per the will of God, you cannot get baptized as per your requirement. You shall be accepted by God only if you are baptized in the name of Jesus. You cannot and never can meet the Lord without his HOLYSPIRIT. It is God's approval on Jesus. Jesus Christ is a slice of Large cake, which mean the whole cake is God. So Jesus is God.. once you have the HOLYSPIRIT of Jesus, you will be part of Jesus. So then Jesus will bear the soul of every saved Soul of Human beings and then submit to God Almighty.
@@Benjamin-un1wl those are different forms of spiritual gift which HOLYSPIRIT provide ... Some are blessed talking in stange tongue, but that doesn't prove that it is the only source to prove you have HOLYSPIRIT... Some are blessed with strange tongue, some can heal, some can speak hidden truth of scripture, some are to serve, some can prophesice like these many gifts are there. But what's important is to know, If the person having HOLYSPIRIT then he will be Jesus, he will bear the righteous fruits like being Humble, kind, compassion, self control, Joy, Peace even when things are not favourable. There will be persecution but how that man behaves is important, those are the righteous fruits of HOLYSPIRIT this then you identify whether that man is of HOLYSPIRIT or not ... No Good tree bear bad fruit and no bad tree bear Good fruit.
@@Benjamin-un1wl yes of course you do speak in strange tounge ... But that doesn't prove of that it is the only way prove to have HOLYSPIRIT. I have seen people speaking in strange tongue like as per their requirement and interest like for example how you turn on and off electrical switch in your house. Listen, when HOLYSPIRIT poured on you, You will speak in strange tongue , which mean HOLYSPIRIT will control you. Not that you control HOLYSPIRIT.
Phenomenal.. I am a soldier of christ... I am redeemed... I am washed by the blood of jesus... I am a child of god... I am a teacher... I am an evangelist.. I am strong... I am Jesus little sister.. I am loved.. I am forgiven amazing thank you
Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that make people fall into sin are bound to happen, but how terrible for the one who makes them happen!" Luke 17:1 Anybody who walks and makes others to walk in different path other than the way which LORD JESUS has set-forth, shall fall into this category of making people to sin. Because Jesus is the only way, Truth and Light. It includes even church priest/pastors, movie stars and other worldly people. For example, Jesus showed us to be a Spiritual man but today people have become religious leaders like Pharisees and saducees, managing the wealth and earning it for themselves, for glory, Honor and creating denominations etc, like wise Lord showed how to heal, however today people believe in themselves and inventing all medicine to cure sickness this is completely against the will of Lord. Let us pray to Lord to make us walk in the path which Jesus showed us.

Great message LB. I tried to look up that message by Pastor Steven , Fears Greatest Hits, but it didn’t come up. Y’all should definitely put it on here. Thanks for the word this morning!!!
@@Benjamin-un1wl the thief on the cross next to Jesus wasn’t baptized. It’s more of a declaration of your new life. You making a public proclamation of your faith and symbolizes your new life. Being washed clean , you go down as one person and cone up a new one.

@@Benjamin-un1wl When baptized in JESUS name we are baptized into His resurrection and as He ascended He given us His HOLY SPIRIT which is the comforter and the seal of GOD so by baptizing in JESUS name we automatically receive the HOLY SPIRIT, Some receive it even before baptism by living a righteous life through faith and doing good.
@@Benjamin-un1wl It's true but they haven't heard of the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT until that time so they didn't believed in the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT until Peter and John told them about it
Thank you 😊 💓

God bless you, Pastor Larry! What an amazing and lifegiving sermon. Thanking God for you and for this amazing ministry 🙌
Killed it Larry!
What an amazing message! This was such a blessing, listening for the second time! So many nuggets and amazing points made, thanks again : )
Thank you for this message! I've been struggling with some personal and health issues and have been not as trusting in God as I have been in the past to be good. I will try to trust him in this period of waiting and praying that our connection can be restored.
We're praying for restoration alongside you!
May your prayers help me I was let go off my job, I have been looking for a new one for three months straight nonstop ....nothing has come back positive as in not even an interview...
I would love you to help me praying along may God provide me with a blessed income or employment ...soon🙏

@@Benjamin-un1wl If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9
@@Benjamin-un1wl it's a no. I believe baptism is an act to show your faith, but I'm not a theology expert. It's an external sign that one has chosen to die with Christ and live as a new creation.
@@Benjamin-un1wl Thanks for the clarity.
@@Benjamin-un1wl Thanks 😊
Such a strong sermon. I really needed this
@@Benjamin-un1wl it just depends how serious you are
@@Benjamin-un1wl have you ever taken anything serious? If you take Christianity serious, you'll get baptized
@@Benjamin-un1wl or you can just go to the store and buy a cross to wear around your neck and call it a day
@@Benjamin-un1wl why do you ask this question?
@@Benjamin-un1wl you just answered your own question
Thank you so much for this sermon! God bless you! Enjoyed listening to it on the way back from work
A great and powerful word!

Powerful sermon 👏
It was a good fight and now it's done...time for consequence.
God wins...
Never quit.
I got my butt kicked for 50+ years...a few of those ministry. Before my "house"/"ministry" was burned down. I don't see much left to work with.
End results...God wins...souls saved...it's not about us. We get our time and space...if we use it. I did the best I could. Still trying with those I communicate.
Jeremiah 1:5...I don't even know what that means anymore...who am i?

When the Pharisees heard all this, they sneered at Jesus, because they loved money. Jesus said to them, “You are the ones who make yourselves look right in other people's sight, but God knows your hearts. For the things that are considered of great value by human beings are worth nothing in God's sight.
Luke 16:14-15
How much worthy you are in the eyes of Lord is important, than what world speaks well of you ...
Lord Jesus was put on cross, for the world considered him to be unworthy, However to that level of highest position was his worthiness in the EYES OF GOD... WHAT HUMAN CONSIDER HIGH IS UNWORTHY TO GOD AND WHAT GOD CONSIDERED TO BE WORTHY IS UNWORTHY FOR HUMANS, THESE ARE OPPOSITE TO EACH OTHER.
@@Benjamin-un1wl “I am telling you the truth,” replied Jesus. “No one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.
John 3:5
@@Benjamin-un1wl how does that matter what I say, truly i tell you the words that I spoke is not of mine but it is God who makes me to speak, I am just another tool used by God.. so the Tool doesn't make any worth, it is the creator who use the tool shall have all Glory and Honour.
Listen - the 1st thing you need to learn about Christianity is, it is not religion, it is life, which mean you have to be a spiritual Man not a Religious Leader which you see around, you are to be Jesus ( I didnt say you become like Jesus, but be JESUS), so then this is the purpose of Lord Jesus put on cross, so that each and every Human Being shall posses the HOLYSPIRIT which will enable them to be JESUS.
THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL OF CHRISTIAN LIFE. otherwise how can one Man save all World, how can Jesus be called saviour of World.
The HOLYSPIRIT will make people to be born again, it will make you a new person, the secret of Heaven shall be revealed to you, enlightenment and wisdom shall flow from God to you ... The Lord Almighty only will directly teach you, he will communicate to you ... You will forget yourself, who you are and what you were... The more the weak you are, more that you will be strong, because your strength will be Lord himself.
So then You have to get baptized by Water and HOLYSPIRIT (mandatorily), the water will cleanse you physically and HOLYSPIRIT shall cleanse your SOUL. which will make you worthy to enter into Kingdom of Heaven.
@@Benjamin-un1wl Yes, you need to pray and submit yourself to God, so that The HOLYSPIRIT of Jesus be upon you which is the mark of you been with Lord in Heaven.
However everything should be done as per the will of God, you cannot get baptized as per your requirement.
You shall be accepted by God only if you are baptized in the name of Jesus. You cannot and never can meet the Lord without his HOLYSPIRIT. It is God's approval on Jesus.
Jesus Christ is a slice of Large cake, which mean the whole cake is God. So Jesus is God.. once you have the HOLYSPIRIT of Jesus, you will be part of Jesus. So then Jesus will bear the soul of every saved Soul of Human beings and then submit to God Almighty.
@@Benjamin-un1wl those are different forms of spiritual gift which HOLYSPIRIT provide ... Some are blessed talking in stange tongue, but that doesn't prove that it is the only source to prove you have HOLYSPIRIT... Some are blessed with strange tongue, some can heal, some can speak hidden truth of scripture, some are to serve, some can prophesice like these many gifts are there.
But what's important is to know, If the person having HOLYSPIRIT then he will be Jesus, he will bear the righteous fruits like being Humble, kind, compassion, self control, Joy, Peace even when things are not favourable.
There will be persecution but how that man behaves is important, those are the righteous fruits of HOLYSPIRIT this then you identify whether that man is of HOLYSPIRIT or not ... No Good tree bear bad fruit and no bad tree bear Good fruit.
@@Benjamin-un1wl yes of course you do speak in strange tounge ... But that doesn't prove of that it is the only way prove to have HOLYSPIRIT.
I have seen people speaking in strange tongue like as per their requirement and interest like for example how you turn on and off electrical switch in your house.
Listen, when HOLYSPIRIT poured on you, You will speak in strange tongue , which mean HOLYSPIRIT will control you. Not that you control HOLYSPIRIT.
Maybe everything iv experienced this past year is God's hand on me, it just feels chaotic confusing and stressful because it's not familiar.
Phenomenal.. I am a soldier of christ... I am redeemed... I am washed by the blood of jesus... I am a child of god... I am a teacher... I am an evangelist.. I am strong... I am Jesus little sister.. I am loved.. I am forgiven amazing thank you
These are GREAT "I Am" statements, Heather. Thank you so much for sharing!
Great message

Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that make people fall into sin are bound to happen, but how terrible for the one who makes them happen!"
Luke 17:1
Anybody who walks and makes others to walk in different path other than the way which LORD JESUS has set-forth, shall fall into this category of making people to sin. Because Jesus is the only way, Truth and Light.
It includes even church priest/pastors, movie stars and other worldly people. For example, Jesus showed us to be a Spiritual man but today people have become religious leaders like Pharisees and saducees, managing the wealth and earning it for themselves, for glory, Honor and creating denominations etc, like wise Lord showed how to heal, however today people believe in themselves and inventing all medicine to cure sickness this is completely against the will of Lord.
Let us pray to Lord to make us walk in the path which Jesus showed us.
my hand is raised!!!

Great message LB. I tried to look up that message by Pastor Steven , Fears Greatest Hits, but it didn’t come up. Y’all should definitely put it on here. Thanks for the word this morning!!!
@@Benjamin-un1wl the thief on the cross next to Jesus wasn’t baptized. It’s more of a declaration of your new life. You making a public proclamation of your faith and symbolizes your new life. Being washed clean , you go down as one person and cone up a new one.
Amazing Grace ❣️
