hi can I have a minute. Please pray for my friend who is currently suffering from Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. Sadly, her case worsen as the cancer cells spread throughout her lungs which causes her difficulty on breathing. We are needing your powerful prayers. It could mean a lot thank you so much. Hopeeee you will notice this pastorrrr
In Jesus’s name, she is healed and whole (Acts 9:34). “The LORD is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.” - Psalm 34:18-20 NIV God’s Word brings “life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.” - Proverbs 4:22 NLT
We appreciate you reaching out, Kesha. We are praying for your friend and believe that God is the ultimate healer. We are praying that God would surround her and bring her comfort and peace during this time. ^SF Team
This is why I am not on social media anymore. God has set me free from this bondage and I have never felt so alive and in peace with myself. Social media has been the most toxic invention and has turmed people more asocial than ever.
I couldn't agree with you more... Even what app and all is too much.. Someone's always sending something or posting on their profile. I remember when we only had regular phones and we could also use the phone boot... Life was so simple
Same! It’s only been 10 days away from everything. The longest I’ve ever done and I don’t feel the urge to get back on again. That’s GOD because man did I pray for this day to happen
Same I used to be that way until God helped me realized a lot of things and keeping me to focus on other things that are important and good for my health and growth and relationship with him.
I've been comparing myself to my friends and where they are in life. This had me envious of them. This had me to be self-critical of myself, and it was depressing me. Comparing yourself to others is a toxic thing to do. It brings you to hold yourself up to their standards, but everyone has the purpose that God has given them. Just like God has given each person their purpose in life, so do you. The only person that you should be proving to yourself to is God and yourself. Well, I just wanted to say this because I've been doing that same thing, and it was distracting me from the purpose that God has made for me. Anyways God bless ya.😁
I LOVE this...💖💖💖....my husband and I have been social media free for 3yrs.. and I couldn't imagine ever going back ..its so peaceful...plus we do not use our phones on Sunday its Family day ...Thank you for always blessing everyone with powerful messages.
@@brandybannister5269 I have committed myself to deleting my Facebook and Instagram. Its but inspiring any Christian feelings in me. I just need to get my pictures saved!
Hi. Please pray for my dad. I think he’s having surgery this Thursday to remove scarring from his lungs. Please pray for his whole body to be 100 percent healed.
Ms. B Karaoke B “Girl”!!! I empathize and sympathize with you, I don’t know you I pray that God direct and guide you, please pray for me too , God Bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’ve been a Christian for 35 years and this is by FAR, one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard. SO MANY of our issues boil down to IDENTITY!! If we know WHO and WHOSE we are, we will stop trying to be someone that we are not! May we all have a revelation of who we truly are.
It’s the same on social media or in school or at work or in public. You need to know who you are, what you are, and what you are not, be comfortable with that, be true to what you believe in, have patience and kindness to face the issues and not get personal, know your purpose and objectives and not get distracted.
If you're not careful you will become bitter , angry , depressed and take it out on the people that don't even know that you are harboring that type of anxiety. It will eat at your soul little by little and make you feel worse because than you start to beat yourself up because you feel that you're not the Christians that Jesus taught us to be. We can't let this stuff take root in our lives and becareful where you turn to get rest. Make sure you take it to God first. ( not binge watch on Netflix to feel better or comfort food or friends that are going to jump on that band wagon instead of lift and encourage you). Remember to take yourselves out , step back and let God do His thing. (Personal experience) Thanks Pastor Furtick 🙏we need this.
Of all the comments this one spoke to me. I'm feeling like this. I've had enough, I keep calling out to God but my situation is not shifting or changing. There's some particular people that are making me feel anxious and stressed, but I have no control in this situation I am in. Its getting depressing and I'm starting to feel angry too.
@@BeautifulDelights951 try to remember that you're responsible for you don't try to make everyone happy. No one can be responsible for your joy ( they have issues of their own). The key thing is keep your eyes up and not at the situation. I made the mistake of trying to find comfort in all the wrong places and all of it worked a little but it was temporary and I was miserable. There is so much truth in scriptures and putting on the full Amor of God. Many confuse happiness (of the flesh ) to joy ( the gift of the holy spirit) the fact that you're not alone and how you handle it makes a difference in someone else's life when they face this same situation. Everything we do is for the Lord your reward is not of this earth so focus on the love that you can share and not the cost of it. You will feel better. The most that you can remember is how it feels and the sympathy you will have for others (because we don't know their story). God truly Loves you and it's important that we share that to those who feel like we did or do. Always talk to God. When it feels like he isn't doing anything , that's when he's got every angel working the most. You mean more to him than you can ever imagine ( if only you could see into the spiritual realm, you would see the army of angels standing right there with you and the commander and chief organizing your path). Never give up . HE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU.
@@outofthedarknessandintothe1538 I am in tears reading that. Thank you. It's also hard forgiving the same people that made me feel worthless. Yes praying and praising to God did help, but I feel I'm at a stand still now in my life. I don't know if it's the enemy attacking me, or am I being tested. It's been a very long road and I'm so frustrated in this time of season. But I will press on. Thank you for your encouragement. Bless you.
No longer will any of those things have any Residence in the children of the Lord. God is calling for His people to be set free. Sanctified by Christ with chains broke now given the Lord Jesus Christ's yolk, the Light of Truth we are not held back any more. Be careful little Minds what you believe because what we believe in your heart and confess with our mouths is what we are. Come to God boldly knowing Jesus Christ. Drink from the Holy Grail that IS His blood that precious sacrifice is enough. Sons and Daughters of the True Living God, release the ashes of the past, rise up into who God made you to BECOME. What we choose to believe, is what we then believe. take a hold of the beauty of his Everlasting love. Believe it and receive it. We are more than Overcomers in Christ. Greater is He who is us, than he who is in the world. Egypt's king believe what he believed and didn't even see it coming , his lack of belief in compliance to the truth that the Hebrews were the children of God, or maybe it was his pride, either way ultimately brought him to his death. In conclusion purposefully choose the proper belief and let go of the ones that want us dead.
I needed this word so much!!!!! I actually deactivated all of my social media almost three weeks ago, because I found myself comparing my life to the life others. I was posting and checking to see if certain individuals saw what I was posting so they could see that I was living just as good as they were. I’m just being honest!!!! It was literally draining me. I’ve NEVER been that type of person...so I knew it was time for a break!
“I don’t have to post it to prove it!!! I live out of purpose!!!” Hallelujah all for God’s glory!!! This was what I needed right now. Obedience to God over popularity. Confirmation for me !!!! 👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽😍
I graduated a year later than my batchmates and I’m really struggling because I keep comparing my season to their season as I always see them enjoying their jobs when I’m still looking for one. I really needed this and it helped me feel a lot better. Thank you.
my boyfriend just told me about how you are his favorite pastor to watch and he told me i should check you out. this was the first video that was recommended to me and it brought me to tears. i have been struggling with this so much lately, and this is exactly what i needed to hear. God is good and thank you so much for your beautiful words
I am here to ask for you all PRAYER WARRIORS- PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY , WE ARE GOING THROUGH FINANCIAL CRISIS AND MY BRO and SIS and FATHER IS TEARING APART please help me pray...
I gotta watch this everyday until it sinks in. I let all social media go for a year so far and I must say it is a relief. I wanted my life back. I wanted my own image back, who God created me to be. This world is forever changing. God still remains the same.
@@IloveYou-je7zp God bless you love ! And honestly I feel you. I’ve been in the same boat. The best option I can tell you is to temporary delete all your Social media apps so there’s no temptation, pray and encourage yourself with the Word of God, fast as much as you can, worship , and go outside enjoy nature , take a walk and do the things you love and trust me you’re going to see a major difference and a shift in your spirit that it’s going to seem so easy when you get used to it . We often feel like that at times bc we are giving our focus to things that are draining a lot at times & we need to refocus our eyes and spirit on Jesus . I hope this can be help & praying for you that you feel encouraged & motivated and God wraps you with His presence . Amen ❤️🙏🏼
Notes on a powerful message: You are built different. Don’t compare and be weighted a burden meant for someone else. Live Not for a post or for popularity but for Christ’s purpose! Live unto Jesus or it’ll kill your contentment. Don’t kill your purpose in your insecurities; PEOPLE DONT CARE, they’re preoccupied themselves trying to impress others. Don’t miss out on Gods unique plan for YOU trying to live out another persons which you were not built for. I’ve been struggling with living up to people expectations, preoccupied pleasing people I lose sight of my true purpose from God. I’ve struggled with comparison and the fear of not being pretty or smart enough. Life is not a competition, each person has a different race to run. Everyone’s trying to figure out themselves, stop carrying a pressure that is only inflicted by yourself. Embrace your difference and specialness in Christ!
I have my doubts, a lot. And I fear everyday and everymoment. But everytime I doubt, everymoment I fear, I also believe and trust Lord and His words. And I really hope that is enough for now. I know I can be better daughter. I will not give up on what he gave me and I will praise Him no matter what. No matter what. Thank you pastor Furtick for what you doing! P.s please pardon my poor English. I'm not a native. I just wanted to say thank you.
I know this is late but this is true I do have trouble comparing myself to other and it doesn’t bring you joy it brings you sorrow. We have to know who our identity is in Christ, and God did not make a mistake with us!
I have been feeling like i need to proof to everyone on the track team, or soccer team, or school that im good enough. But this reminded me i dont need to please everyone, only God.
I needed to hear this. I'm a musician, a drummer, self-taught and have been playing for about 10 years now and I see so many drummers my age(26) or younger who are playing in bands, playing in concerts, playing in churches meanwhile I'm still stuck playing in my garage. I find myself beating myself down with comparison to those who have already "made it". But I hear that we shouldnt compare ourselves to others becuz we're all on different pathes and our gifts will be shown in His time, not in the time of the person next to you. It's hard to grasp that and continue to work on myself with no comparison. This is half the reason why I got off of social media.
As a fellow musician who's also self-taught, I hope you're feeling better, man😊. Indeed, it's tempting to think of such things, especially since we can only do so much with our uncontrollable situation. But we must realize that we don't know what that person went through or is still going through behind the scenes. I know you're an amazing and great drummer without the need to post anything or prove anything. Being self-taught alone means your talent is God-given. God bless you man!
Thanks for this reminder. I am in an era of being isolated and trying to grow myself. I have to stop comparing my path to others just because things seem bland rn..God is the only one I need to please ❤️
It all makes sense now! Amen Hallelujah Anyone who is reading this , please pray for me. My girlfriend is an islam but i still have faith that our Jesus can do the impossible be possible. She will accept Jesus Christ as her Saviour. Thank you so much. This is very tough for me because she broke up our 6years relationship after the more closer i am to my Lord Jesus. Evil can sense the danger for them.
I watched my mom die almost a year ago and my faith is being tested. I feel like I’m going through the worst mind battles and I feel like God has left me. I need God more than ever and I feel so alone.
i went through the same thing six years ago and six years ago I almost broke. Challenges in life test us, but will make us stronger. My heart is with you and take it all one day at a time!
Amen I totally agree this one of my reasons why I deleted my Facebook cuz I felt caught up in posting an entertaining anyhow I gave myself some time off of social media I believe there's a reason why I'm hearing this message thank you very much for your encouragement and the word Steven furtick God bless you
Hey pastor this message is directed to me and because of comparing my self and my life with those who better than me I think, I never thank God for what he gave me and I have never count my blessing in my life from God. When I hear this message I really start dropping my tires and back to looking my amazing life and all i have. Thank you and God bless you I thank God about you in this morning. Praise God
I visited you country two weeks ago for a video shoot. The Zimbabweans are the most peaceful and lovely people that I have ever met. God bless you brother!
That is not Fasting. Biblical True Fasting is with Food. What yiu can do is tell God about your addiction and let him take over. Furthermore you need/should “Burn the Ships” to social media which are not needed at All. Blessings
If God is asking you to fast something in ur life I say Amen I think of fasting as humbly deny something of the flesh to glorify God! I fasted many things in my life at different times. With Facebook i Started w three months off F.B desided I didn't need it and ended up giving it completely to God been 13months now no f.b Praying for you 🙏 God is definitely at work.
Christie Borton with all due respect that is just plain manipulated opinion and not biblical. It is very dangerous to interpret scripture to accommodate it to our goals. The reason for Fasting is to weaken the Flesh and the ONLY way to do that is to is omit Foods (Biblical Based) If one decides to not do or participate in certain behaviors then it is a decision but not biblical Fasting. Simply not supported biblically and the Bible is NOT meant to be interpreted to our convenience. It is LITERAL, hence the Living Word of God. I would read up on the Addiction to Social Medial and its cause and the impact it has in the brain which is exactly the same as a person who is an addict to addictive substances.
very true ..sometime i suffered of this feeling to become nice with people but the time came when i realize that its wasting of my enrgy nothing else....and today again your sermon motivated me.....be blessed
I have social anxiety, I have always thinking why people can talk for so long but I didn't know what to talk, i think I have to just be me and stop thinking about what I should say
This was an Amazing sermon. It really touched me. It's hard to be your best self when trying to be the person you think everyone would think is the best. Thinking of satisfying others while living out your purpose is impossible. If you're reading this I love you and God does too. Thank you Steve God Bless Brother.
First time I'm not thinking "cliche." Sometimes its not about what you're saying its HOW you say it. Needed this today and every day. Moral of the story is dont exist for the validation of man because you'll be disappointed. Exist for the validation of GOD. 🙏☝️🌌
Timely message.. I hope I can get over it. . I suffer from this mostly at work. I know I'm talented, I know what I carry, but same time, I'm constantly doubting myself, constantly feel like I'm not enough.. constantly talking negative to myself...I doubt everything I do... and now I'm afraid i am self-sabotaging myself by being so afraid and negative.. i dont know how to get out of this cycle.:(
I thank God 🙏 for this word coz I used to look down on myself and compare myself to others that I wasn't good enough not knowing and understand people have different destiny's that's what make us different we just need to love and believe in our selves.after hearing this message I have started loving myself for me and am proud to be me coz it's not by mistake that I am who I am with what God has given me I have stopped comparing myself to others Thank you lord for this word🙏🙏❤️❤️
Great message Pastor Steven. I am 62yrs. old. For many years I tried to be what others thought I should be trying to make everyone around me happy. It nearly killed me. Thanks be to God it didn't.
So true thank you pastor Steven for this word today all glory and honor and praise to our Lord and saviour Jesus christ hallelujah shalom shalom shalom
I came out to show Who I Really Am. Sin is choice and his word would never put anyone to shame. 1jonh 4:1Teaches about warning. (We are to come boldly to the throne)He who has an ear let him hear what the spirit is saying) The truth will make you free. My ex-mother-in-law was a preacher for drug addicts alcoholics and prostitutes. And her favorite saying was he who is without sin cast the first stone. I have no position to judge anyone. But I do remember her telling me this she said God was going to use me one day. Holly had one message I was not ready for this.3John1:12. Thank you for the teaching.

It’s rejection, people exclude others unless it benefits them. So teens and adults perform hoping they are accepted.
I agree.
I want to please God alone. I will never please others

Notes on a powerful message:
You are built different. Don’t compare and be weighted a burden meant for someone else. Live Not for a post or for popularity but for Christ’s purpose! Live unto Jesus or it’ll kill your contentment. Don’t kill your purpose in your insecurities; PEOPLE DONT CARE, they’re preoccupied themselves trying to impress others. Don’t miss out on Gods unique plan for YOU trying to live out another persons which you were not built for.
I’ve been struggling with living up to people expectations, preoccupied pleasing people I lose sight of my true purpose from God. I’ve struggled with comparison and the fear of not being pretty or smart enough. Life is not a competition, each person has a different race to run. Everyone’s trying to figure out themselves, stop carrying a pressure that is only inflicted by yourself. Embrace your difference and specialness in Christ!
Yessss I don't have to post it too prove ittttttt💓💓💓💓💓💓Jesus it's you and your guidance for me👏👏👏🙏I just need to be obedient💕
I have my doubts, a lot. And I fear everyday and everymoment. But everytime I doubt, everymoment I fear, I also believe and trust Lord and His words. And I really hope that is enough for now. I know I can be better daughter. I will not give up on what he gave me and I will praise Him no matter what. No matter what.
Thank you pastor Furtick for what you doing!
P.s please pardon my poor English. I'm not a native. I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for sharing, Ceangui. ^SF Team
I’ll be praying for you because I’m going through the same thigg
I know this is late but this is true I do have trouble comparing myself to other and it doesn’t bring you joy it brings you sorrow. We have to know who our identity is in Christ, and God did not make a mistake with us!
While we're busy posting our results to prove to one another what we're worth our purpose is dying in the place of our insecurities.
I have been feeling like i need to proof to everyone on the track team, or soccer team, or school that im good enough. But this reminded me i dont need to please everyone, only God.
You are a blessing to us pastor Steven. Continue on preaching Gods word.
Sa Diyos ang kapurihan!
Amen!
🙏😇❤️
Thank you pastor , I love ❤️ this sermon even I downloaded it on my phone.
This message though!! My God 👆👆👆🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭 GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR STEVEN!!!
GOD YOU ARE SO GOOD!! YOU HAVE GIVEN US A REAL PASTOR WHO SPEAKS TRUTH!!!
I needed to hear this. I'm a musician, a drummer, self-taught and have been playing for about 10 years now and I see so many drummers my age(26) or younger who are playing in bands, playing in concerts, playing in churches meanwhile I'm still stuck playing in my garage. I find myself beating myself down with comparison to those who have already "made it". But I hear that we shouldnt compare ourselves to others becuz we're all on different pathes and our gifts will be shown in His time, not in the time of the person next to you. It's hard to grasp that and continue to work on myself with no comparison. This is half the reason why I got off of social media.
As a fellow musician who's also self-taught, I hope you're feeling better, man😊. Indeed, it's tempting to think of such things, especially since we can only do so much with our uncontrollable situation. But we must realize that we don't know what that person went through or is still going through behind the scenes. I know you're an amazing and great drummer without the need to post anything or prove anything. Being self-taught alone means your talent is God-given.
God bless you man!
Thanks for this reminder. I am in an era of being isolated and trying to grow myself. I have to stop comparing my path to others just because things seem bland rn..God is the only one I need to please ❤️
It all makes sense now! Amen Hallelujah
Anyone who is reading this , please pray for me. My girlfriend is an islam but i still have faith that our Jesus can do the impossible be possible. She will accept Jesus Christ as her Saviour. Thank you so much. This is very tough for me because she broke up our 6years relationship after the more closer i am to my Lord Jesus. Evil can sense the danger for them.
I watched my mom die almost a year ago and my faith is being tested. I feel like I’m going through the worst mind battles and I feel like God has left me. I need God more than ever and I feel so alone.
i went through the same thing six years ago and six years ago I almost broke. Challenges in life test us, but will make us stronger. My heart is with you and take it all one day at a time!
God will never leave nor forsake you❤️
God is with you no matter what. Stay strong and keep your faith in God strong. He loves you sooooooo much
I pray for your healing ❤️
Amen I totally agree this one of my reasons why I deleted my Facebook cuz I felt caught up in posting an entertaining anyhow I gave myself some time off of social media I believe there's a reason why I'm hearing this message thank you very much for your encouragement and the word Steven furtick God bless you
Hey pastor this message is directed to me and because of comparing my self and my life with those who better than me I think, I never thank God for what he gave me and I have never count my blessing in my life from God. When I hear this message I really start dropping my tires and back to looking my amazing life and all i have. Thank you and God bless you I thank God about you in this morning. Praise God
Preach it Pastor Steven. What a word! Word of the moment. I love it.God bless you Pastor.
Greetings from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
I visited you country two weeks ago for a video shoot. The Zimbabweans are the most peaceful and lovely people that I have ever met. God bless you brother!
I'm totally inspired by all of your sermons Pastor.I thank God for men of God like yourself. Continue with what God has placed inside of you
"Our purpose is dying in the place of our insecurity."
🙌
Stay low key and impress the Man above. Note to self.
THIS SERMON WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR ! WOW!
I JUST finished praying about this and I found this vid no 2 in my notifications. God is so Good :)
“Our purpose is dying in the place of our insecurity.”
That’s powerful
I was literally telling about this very issue to my friend and she shared me this video. And it was published today! God really does do miracles.
This definitely hit home. I used to have that "Why can't that be me?" attitude. Thanks pastor 👍🏼🙏🏽
Sameeeeee I'm glad I'm listening to this
@@user-jv2wc1xh6o 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well spoken great man of God!!!!
Don't be who you are not supposed to be , be yourself and move on
Power!! And so accurate!
This man hits the nail on the head everytime I hear him
Blessings form Jamaica Pastor Furtick, I really needed to hear this today
Just the word I needed at just the right time. May God Almighty bless the man of God -Pastor Steven Furtick🙏💝.
This is why Im fasting from social media and tv for 30 days. I was comparing my feelings to everyone's apperance on facebook. It was a losing battle.
Fasting ???? I just stopped going on to the site ,it didn't increase my quality of life , Best Wishes
I’m in the same boat
That is not Fasting. Biblical True Fasting is with Food.
What yiu can do is tell God about your addiction and let him take over. Furthermore you need/should “Burn the Ships” to social media which are not needed at All.
Blessings
If God is asking you to fast something in ur life I say Amen I think of fasting as humbly deny something of the flesh to glorify God!
I fasted many things in my life at different times. With Facebook i Started w three months off F.B desided I didn't need it and ended up giving it completely to God been 13months now no f.b
Praying for you 🙏 God is definitely at work.
Christie Borton with all due respect that is just plain manipulated opinion and not biblical. It is very dangerous to interpret scripture to accommodate it to our goals.
The reason for Fasting is to weaken the Flesh and the ONLY way to do that is to is omit Foods (Biblical Based)
If one decides to not do or participate in certain behaviors then it is a decision but not biblical Fasting.
Simply not supported biblically and the Bible is NOT meant to be interpreted to our convenience. It is LITERAL, hence the Living Word of God.
I would read up on the Addiction to Social Medial and its cause and the impact it has in the brain which is exactly the same as a person who is an addict to addictive substances.
very true ..sometime i suffered of this feeling to become nice with people but the time came when i realize that its wasting of my enrgy nothing else....and today again your sermon motivated me.....be blessed
I was comparing my self in social media so know i realize i shouldn't compare am perefect God proved me that
Thank you Jesus 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Godly treasure greater than worldly education.
Amen, this was much needed!!!!!!!!!!
I have social anxiety, I have always thinking why people can talk for so long but I didn't know what to talk, i think I have to just be me and stop thinking about what I should say
Glory to God 💜🤗 May you always be blessed by God partor Furtrick 😇
Keep rockin that purpose Pastor!
Am already set apart .l live for Jesus only wow I love this gospel . Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick God Bless You Amen🙏
This my number one problem. Comparing myself to others.
Music to my soul.
God talks to me personally he also hears me. Preacher man is smooth
This was so true the world competes but we live to please God cause He’s always looking and loving on us “
This just became my favorite UA-cam video of all time!
"All I need to do is to be obedient in this season of my life " 🧡
This was an Amazing sermon. It really touched me. It's hard to be your best self when trying to be the person you think everyone would think is the best. Thinking of satisfying others while living out your purpose is impossible. If you're reading this I love you and God does too. Thank you Steve God Bless Brother.
My Word, My Word Thank You Lord for this message Amen 🙏🏾
Purpose or Proving what a Profound Prophecy🖤
First time I'm not thinking "cliche." Sometimes its not about what you're saying its HOW you say it. Needed this today and every day. Moral of the story is dont exist for the validation of man because you'll be disappointed. Exist for the validation of GOD. 🙏☝️🌌
Fear let us makes under work our performance. Amen
Timely message.. I hope I can get over it. . I suffer from this mostly at work. I know I'm talented, I know what I carry, but same time, I'm constantly doubting myself, constantly feel like I'm not enough.. constantly talking negative to myself...I doubt everything I do... and now I'm afraid i am self-sabotaging myself by being so afraid and negative.. i dont know how to get out of this cycle.:(
Focus in God..
😇😇😇From Africa
+1 bro
I be listening to this sermon with my hand held high shouting random Amens & Yess whilst thinking "Yhoo this sermon is for me"
Wow this blessed me so much this morning so true....I'm tired of trying to be perfect in other ppl eyes....
I’m not even Christian but I needed this today. I’m going to live my life for purpose. NOT to prove anything. 🤍
Amazing, Morgan! We are so glad you watched this message and that it helped you! Thank you for sharing with us! 🧡^SF Team

3:03-3:37 Yes, yes, and yes!!!!! You better preach, sir!!!! 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 I needed this so much!
It’s a great sermon . Thank you 🙏

I thank God 🙏 for this word coz I used to look down on myself and compare myself to others that I wasn't good enough not knowing and understand people have different destiny's that's what make us different we just need to love and believe in our selves.after hearing this message I have started loving myself for me and am proud to be me coz it's not by mistake that I am who I am with what God has given me I have stopped comparing myself to others Thank you lord for this word🙏🙏❤️❤️
Great message Pastor Steven. I am 62yrs. old. For many years I tried to be what others thought I should be trying to make everyone around me happy. It nearly killed me. Thanks be to God it didn't.
When I stop social media God media enter into my life.. Now I don't want to prove anyone
Praise the Lord
You've got to be so special so unique so set upart but you already are , YOU ALREADY ARE , YOU ALREADY ARE!!!!
So true thank you pastor Steven for this word today all glory and honor and praise to our Lord and saviour Jesus christ hallelujah shalom shalom shalom
I can’t even tell you how much I needed this. Everything I’ve been feeling and can’t explain, he perfectly put into words.
I came out to show Who I Really Am. Sin is choice and his word would never put anyone to shame. 1jonh 4:1Teaches about warning. (We are to come boldly to the throne)He who has an ear let him hear what the spirit is saying) The truth will make you free. My ex-mother-in-law was a preacher for drug addicts alcoholics and prostitutes. And her favorite saying was he who is without sin cast the first stone. I have no position to judge anyone. But I do remember her telling me this she said God was going to use me one day. Holly had one message I was not ready for this.3John1:12. Thank you for the teaching.
