      Greater things are coming your way... keep your focus and trust in Jesus. You are going to see many things change. At times God removes people so that He can remove all your distractions and so that you will turn your focus on him. But know this what's coming after is greater than anything you have experienced till now. God. Bless you.

    Glad I stopped by to listen with my son who is currently in the ICU. We're just trusting God to be the healer and use my son for His glory. My son tried to take his life because he didn't know how to handle.his mental state. But he was bringing so many of his friends closer to God by reading the word with them and encouraging them to walk a straighter path. I just hope God isn't done with him yet.

To whoever is reading this and you feel like you can’t do it anymore please listen to me don’t ever give up.

I believe that they have came across this because they are in need of strength, protection, restoration, & love during this season of their life. I pray you give this person exactly that Lord God plus more. I pray you bless this person and send your angels to guide them out this storm. I pray at this moment, they feel your supernatural power come over them and fill them with the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus protect us from the wickedness and snares of the devil. In Jesus Name Amen.

      Where in the bible about Elevation Church?
      Apostle Paul warned to the True Christians in the bible is in the book of 1 Corinthians 4:6 "And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; THAT YE MIGHT LEARN IN US NOT TO THINK OF MEN ABOVE THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
      True CHRISTIANS by works (not by mouth) in the bible are members of the body. In the book of 1 Corinthians 12:12 "For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. What is the body? In the book of Colossians 1:18 "He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. What is the church of that body? It's the CHURCH OF GOD. 15 Bible verses about Church of God. There is only 1 Religion or Church in the bible. In the book of James 1:27 " PURE RELIGION" Religion- It's a SINGULAR form not a plural form. Churches or Religions which were not written in the bible is in the book of 2 Corinthians 2:17 "For we are not, like so many, PEDDLERS of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. Jesus said in the book of Mark 7:7 "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

      I never really answer to people or reach out with confidence and share God with others as often as I desire, but I personally wanted to reach out to you for some reason and say I too, get close to God, then at times end up astray but I have realized now his grace has been shielding you in both your distance and your closeness to our Creator. So I pray that the guidance and holy presence of our powerful father in heaven, encourage, uplift, protect and strengthen you along with you family. May our spirits always yearn for you Jesus. Be blessed today brother.

      Where in the bible about Elevation Church?
      Apostle Paul warned to the True Christians in the bible is in the book of 1 Corinthians 4:6 "And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; THAT YE MIGHT LEARN IN US NOT TO THINK OF MEN ABOVE THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
      True CHRISTIANS by works (not by mouth) in the bible are members of the body. In the book of 1 Corinthians 12:12 "For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. What is the body? In the book of Colossians 1:18 "He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. What is the church of that body? It's the CHURCH OF GOD. 15 Bible verses about Church of God. There is only 1 Religion or Church in the bible. In the book of James 1:27 " PURE RELIGION" Religion- It's a SINGULAR form not a plural form. Churches or Religions which were not written in the bible is in the book of 2 Corinthians 2:17 "For we are not, like so many, PEDDLERS of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. Jesus said in the book of Mark 7:7 "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

      God is more that faithful. Sometimes we think we are asking God the right thing as it is not even a grain of sand on the beach. Instead of giving us that grain He builds us a sand castle and we were unaware of even asking for that as we only expected that grain of sand. Stand firm and God will meet your needs.

But i noticed a "trigger", a moment , event that happened just before the roar which throws me into a carnal space, then the roar intimidates then the temptation comes. This entire message spoke to my situation. I know i am called to preach the Gospel and i have allowed this to go on too long. Thank you for your obedience, never quit, never give in.

    This is EXACTLY how I stay sober! I know relapsing part of recovery it it doesn’t HAVE to be. I use my sober time (almost 16mo now) to prepare for what statically could come. I listen to what other addicts say especially when I hear types of behavior and thoughts that precede relapse (physical or emotionally) I constantly reevaluate where my heart is and how to move it forward. I can spend my time doing this because I don’t have to spend my time obsessively thinking about trying to control my addiction. Jesus does that for me. I got alllllll the power I ever needed by giving UP the power up to him. Vigilance mixed with hope pushes complacency away. Thank you Jesus for rescuing me! 17yrs of slavery to alcohol but now I’m in the AFTER!
    Please God use me to help others find what I’ve found…. Freedom in you 😊

    I am so blessed to be at this height in my life, and in this moment I have felt overwhelmed being on the presipus. Despite how far I have come, I stopped myself from advancing. Listening to this sermon has helped me so much today. I realize what is coming "after", This anxiety is so amazing that the devil is trying his best to make me not take the leap. In this state, I have been able to come to terms with so many things I've been dealing with my whole life. I'm blessed to be able to look into the past, look past all this, and grow into what God knows I am meant to be. Today I am excited to take the leap, not just for myself but for my wife, my children, and my family. Nothing can stop me with God beside me. Thank you for this message. I listen and spread your word, and I can't put words to how much it has helped me and others around me. Thank you, and God bless you, Pastor Steven Furtick!
