I love the changes I’m seeing in Steven Furtick. He’s becoming a man who’s seen how lost we can get and he’s trying to tell us that we’ve got it all wrong. That we need to humble ourselves more and really seek after Jesus more. So many people say this man is arrogant. Throughout this series he’s looking more and more like a man who’s been through some stuff and is really relying on God more than ever. I’m inspired and humbled even more by this. We need more of Jesus and not what Jesus means to the world, but what Jesus means to us to the depths of our souls
When God allows you to be broken beyond measure, it is impossible to compare yourself to others. When you are placed at the bottom of the valley the only thing you can do is look up. It is only there that God can build your confidence in Him. The world matters no more. Your relationship with Him is the only thing that matters. More Christ, less of me. God bless you pastor Steve.
Who would have thought. What a twist in expectation of what I would get out of this message. I thought I would gain more confidence in my countless failed attempts to please God and promptly obey. But when “I” am doing it, and calling it blind faith dependent on His grace, I am just in denial. I pray always that my flesh would be crucified. I had on idea that was the process he has been taking me through and so now I know, it isn’t confidence I needed for me to fight harder to hold onto what I needed to let go of. I cannot even sustain my own breath.
HALLELUJAH! The sure foundation of confidence is on the Person Of Jesus.. When He declared “It is finished”! All that we need is in Jesus! The Person of Jesus is our Shepherd. It’s not ALL of Jesus and none of self.. it is worthy is He! Not worthy is He ..& me..! Christ alone be magnified and glorified. Praise Jesus! Thank you Pastor Furtick!
I agree with him in the fact that most people who seem so confident are usually very insecure deep down.. He is a great preacher an he grab my attention an have me listening to one or more of his messages everyday. I can relate to him cause he is real. He lets you know God loves you anyway. He brings Jesus to you. Im very impressed in his skills as a pastor. I pray God keeps his hand in him an he stays just like he is now.
I covered you in the blood of Jesus Christ forever. You will help many many generations by his grace. I will pray for you to continue until the end of your life. Stay forever in the house of the lord.🙏🏼
“I lost my confidence, but I gained Jesus Christ” what a great way to end the sermon. 😭 I was going through heartbreak a few weeks ago, and only then did I start to come back to God. I had lost my confidence, my self esteem and I had no strength to go on, but God never left my side. 😭 So I relate to this in many levels 😭 for the past three days, the enemy has been messing with my head. I’ve been feeling lonely and sad. But I thank God for allowing me see this video. I feel like he spoke to me throughout this entire sermon. 😭❤️ I love this series, and I’ll be sure to put this on my playlist if ever the enemy tries to get in my head again, then I’m ready 💪🙏
Be strong and of good courage.. I also experienced a bad breakup recently and extreme heartbreak and it ironically pushed me closer to God. Only by his grace and love I have regained my confidence, self-esteem and self worth! I really relate to your story and maybe God put me here to tell you that you are more than enough and he desires to have you fall deeper in love with him. God bless!!
I sit here in a university Library at 11pm, worried stressed and having no confidence. I have been trying to do my work which is due tomorrow and have prayed, sought council from other Christian friends and still nothing. I had gotten to a point where i thought maybe God doesnt want to bless me with a miracle as He has for everyone telling e to keep praying and waiting for His intervention. I was losing my mind and hope a few minutes before i stumbled apon this. But maybe this is my winter season, my time to fail and knock me down my "oh I'm studying at the best University in Africa" horse and kill my confidence, but build my faith in Christ. Amen.
I was healed 4 weeks ago tomorrow. 45 years mental illness no more meds or insanity. Depression or a iety. No soda no caffeine Had chronic pain now I can tolerate it.
I just recently started watching videos of sermons from your church. I've been having good days and then bad days. I'd wake up feeling so sure of myself and sleep almost away the brokenness of the day. I've been having issues with school, people, friends and I kept thinking why is everyone on their own these days... I kept feeling like no one cared to see something was wrong. I lost my confidence in so many occasions. Even today I had a paper and I was optimistic about it until I couldn't the questions. So I slept the pain of messing up again. Then I woke up and a few hours later I found myself breaking down praying. I was so tired and frustrated and almost everything you mentioned here was what I confessed while I was praying. So watching this video after praying like that to me right now is a blessing and an assurance and an awakening. God bless you for the words you've spoken for everyone of us losing our confidence. May be the renewing of our minds be established until there's no one to compare ourselves to but Jesus. ❤️ from Nigeria🇳🇬
I just want you to know that you are not alone. And none of us are truly. God will never forsake us and we must endure til the end. May God bless you and you will be in my prayers. Also, feel free to message me anytime if you need to. I'm pretty sure you can on here. With much love and support -Amanda
Oluwaseun... I just read your message and you are seen, your pain and inner brokenness is seen and heard and KNOWN by not just Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit... but me, and countless others. I’m 47 and I was right where you are and regretted my birth until I was almost 40. I spent most of my life wondering how I could be so shattered, broken and no one seemed to notice. Then about two years ago...In my brokenness in the midst of a spiritual journey I prayed for to “be so consumed by Him, as consumed as the burning bush, I cried out to the Lord in despair asking Him, the one I was and had been relentlessly pursuing for years, does anyone see me, I know you do...now...but what about when I was a child and no one noticed the bruises or the pain that was so clearly seen in my eyes... where were you?” And he gave me three visions taking me back to the time I was three years old until 11, each event i had managed to block out and not even recall without Him showing me in vision... and one where I was hiding in the closet from my father who was trying to find me so he could kill me, I saw Jesus kneeling over me and holding me, and my mother who I wouldn’t have been able to see because I was behind a door, trying to keep him away from where I was and begging with him to leave me alone. Then another incident where I was in bed crawled up in a fetal position after my father had just left the room, Jesus again was there holding me from behind and I had fallen asleep in His arms. There was one other incident, but you see where I’m going. I wondered why no one saw me and what should have been obvious, why I was never rescued, but at 47 years old I now know... had I been rescued or born to two loving parents who didn’t know God or our Savior, would I be as relentless in my pursuit of His heart, His love for me, or now, so passionate about sharing how we have access to the most incomprehensible and unimaginable love relationship with the Father of all fathers? I don’t think so. I could have been a statistic. But I’m not, I was called by name and chosen for a purpose in an era I have never felt I belonged in, until now. So as Pastor Steven has said and continues to say... pray for perspective, His... arial view. “All things really do work out for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” A Don’t give up and don’t ever lose hope! You are seen, you are known and you are NEVER ALONE!
Steven Furtick is such a good pastor, me and my family watch his sermens every Sunday. Thanks Steven for the blessing messages you give me and my family.
Praise the Lord for this message. We so need it in this age of “meism”...Thanking God for the Spirit of the Lord who speaks to me and everyone else through this message. Less of me and more of Jesus Christ in me is my prayer, amen. Thank you Pastor Steve.
That place he is speaking of where our self confidence is crucified is by far one of the hardest places to be as a believer. The inner conflict and desperate circumstances that this lesson places us in is extremely painful.
I love you Steven. I gave money twice to your church and received a phone call from elevation church saying Thank u. That made me so happy. Also I love Holly's name its 1 letter away from HOLY. She's ment to be your wife buddy. ( I'm your yalls same age too.)
Man you feel like you are talking straight to me. I have been so low an lonely for a while. I need my confidence back. I felt the Holy Spirit in this message. God is with me. I am so alone but yet I feel God's presence an it is so true an real
I’m ready to nail my confidence in finances to the cross. It’s been tormenting me my whole life. False confidence and assurance comes when bills get paid, then I am under attack when bills don’t get paid. I’m done with this battle. This message helped me.
Pastor Steven, if you read these, or if anyone does I ask for prayer for my family of 8, my wife and I have 6 children total, 3 together, I do know the enemy has come into her mind and has been trying to get her to get a divorce. We have had 10 amazing years together and out of the blue I'm hit with this. I'm Michael my wife's name is nicole if anyone would keep us in your prayers to bring us back and have this leave her mind and heart and keep our family whole
Elevation church is one of the best churches in the world although I'm from India yet I feel that I'm present there every time I hear pastor Steven preaching God bless your family pastor
I am the kind of person who is always under-confident....and i have tried so hard to BE confident..but all that always goes in vain...i return feeling under-confident...but this sermon has changed my perspective...thank you pastor...you are one of the biggest vessel that God is using in my life right now...love and greetings from India
THANK YOU GOD, AND THANK YOU FOR PASTOR WHOM YOUR MESSAGE PASSED THROUGH. Thank you so much Pastor i luv yall!!! YOU'RE FAMILY IS ESSENTIAL IN MY LIFE.
I listen to your ministry many times but for some reason I stopped. I got a letter from my daughter (who’s in the U.S. Army) and her letter spoke about how she enjoyed your ministry and how it’s getting her through moments of doubt. So I tuned in and I really enjoyed this message. Thank you for ministering to my daughter.
I cant even count how many times that I've lost my confidence. I refuse to count on my own confidence anymore and lean on the Lord, which that in itself is a second by second battle for me. I thank God for God and making me broken.
Wow, I promise God has responded so quickly to me tonight with this specific sermon. I was just talking to myself and telling myself that I was no longer going to be a victim, I admitted it all to the Holy Spirit. I’m not placing my faith on what I can do but the fact that God’s plan is perfectly made for my life. Why should I trick myself into thinking that I’m not worthy of a relationship with God because I like rap and I curse sometimes and I’m not perfect. He made me and he knows my heart.... I trust you Father, thank you for removing my need to prove myself for something so much better 🤍
"I go back and forth feeling really confident at times and sometimes I can't find my confidence anywhere". Oooo, this sounds like me at times. "But it's not how much confidence you have, it's where you put it" - truth, Amen!!! Lord increase in every area of my life even those places where I've been walking in my own confidence and not know it 🤲💭. Maybe my sunny personality and knowing "who" I am in christ can come across as someone who is overly confident but It's just who I am and I can't apologize for that. Love to you and Elevation Worship 🙏♥️
I just want to say Thank you. You mentioned that you doubted about establishing this church in a sea of churches in Georgia, but I am glad you did. Because I waited 40 years to hear about Martha and Mary. I waited 40 years to hear about nemar, and about fences and offenses. Your sermon and your words will forever affect this family. Thank you from a small town in Germany.
God Is Great. In my doubts He brought me hope. In pain and suffering He gives relief. When narrow-minded He broadens the scope. Celebrating victory over all defeat. There's no trial without error. No faith without works. No bravery without terror. No setbacks without perks. So my confidence is in God no matter what.
"Sometimes our consistency can be the enemy of our humility." A loss of confidence in ourselves creates a perfect position to grow our faith in the power of Christ. This series and how Pastor has addressed "digging" and the removal of pride has been pertinent in my life. These difficult sermons have put me in a state to recognize God's grace and allowing Him to be my confidence.
shiba rani no problem my sister in Christ.. in the Bible whenever you read God with a lowercase g there talking about the Devil God Bless you!! May God continue to saturate you with his presence and insight in Jesus name amen 🙏🏼
I am so utterly taken aback by the message from God channelled through this brother in Christ, Steve. Oh man.... How humbling. How heavy, how freeing.... amen! THANK YOU JESUS! PRAISE YOU MY EVERYTHING, MY SAVIOUR. MY ALL. 💖💖
he is one of the best, but you can totally tell its the holy spirit speaking through him! I wish I lived there, we need more preachers like this who arent afraid of what others will think. I am using my husbands account in order to watch. my name is Jaime.
I'm learning that your discipline in doing good is not what makes you righteous. Our righteousness is not ours, but the righteousness of God revealed in Jesus Christ. He's all I have, and all that's worth having. Thank you Lord, and thank you pastor for preaching the truth!
Thank you for speaking what God has put on your heart! I have been praying for confidence for a year and needed this message. I fell hard last year off my horse. I had it all and when I fell and returned to God I heard him tell me you have a false confidence. It has been a struggle to say the least. Your sermon puts this last year into perspective for me. Thank you God that you know what I need better then I do!
I have really been going through some trials and struggle greatly to find preacher's to listen to that get down to the heart of the issues, I am so greatfull to have found him in a time such as this. Thank you Lord for hearing me. In Jesus name Amen
This message hit different after you’ve tried everything you know to do and still aren’t satisfied. Putting that confidence and faith in Jesus yields exceptional results. Praise God for this message.
Such a blessed message. The Lord crucifies our confidence, until it rests totally in Him. Confidence resting in anything or anyone else will always be shattered. 🙏
You remember you are my son you are big Achievement ministry Best sporting goods leadership about you because you are Great servant of God Amén Hallelujah 🙏🙏
Spot on, our confidence should be based on the Lord Jesus Christ alone and not on our own abilities. And judge not for our hearts can be very deceiving. We are often humbled when we realized we have made a mistake in our presumption. Thanks God for Pastor Steve, Shalom and Godspeed
You and your family are amazing and I love you all!!! Thank you for following the path God lead you on bc we all need you!!! ALS is a horrible disease I am a CNA and I have a patient whom I love very very much and he also has ALS. Pray for him and his wife 💞
In the name of Jesus Christ help me maintain my faith I know it's not in my flesh and what I do but my confidence is shaking in this dark season I need you more than ever
'I'm letting it go. I'm not trying to get back on my horse. I don't even want to ride in that direction any more. I've been down that road and I'm ready for something better.' Amen. It's all rubbish compared to knowing Jesus : )
I lost my confidence just woke me up to realizing how far from God I am. Thank you for helping me to realize why God allowed this painful heart break. My trust in another human being who appeared genuine and honest turned out to be a total misjudgment and Ive always known to never put my trust in men .. God show me this at a very young age if I can break promises to my self how in the world can I trust in another human being. I’ve forgotten how loyalty God has been to me and this sermon woke me up. Thank you 🙏
This message is so pertinent to me right now....amen. My name is Nicholas I'm a veteran undergoing veterans treatment court for legal reasons and I'm in need of some serious prayer for successful completion in this blessed program and for my twin brother as well. Please and thank you my fellow bros and sisters. Amen. GOD BLESS.
Talk about practicing what you preach, this is good! Furtick teaches His ways are not our ways, blessings are not always what we would think to hope for, that blessings come as trials and hardships, whom He loves He chastises. This is a living epistle, a shining of Glory, evidence of The Power. Blessing and Shalom to all in Jesus name.
Amen! I Am so grateful for all that Pastor Furtick has done for The Kingdom Of God! May The Lord continue to pour out His anointing on Pastor and His Wife, may the whole elevation staff and church ! Amen
You can talk about your family as much as you like - like you said, preach from real life and not just from the book. It's the reason why I listen to your sermons, they're relatable, real.
Again our mighty GODS words through you Pastor Steven pulled me out of going into a breakdown I will make it through another day sober..... GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR STEVEN AND HOLLY AND ELEVATION CHURCH SO GLAD I FOUND YOU ALL.......
This sermon was from 3 years ago and it’s so relevant in today’s world. I listen to every sermon from pastor Steven Furtick and I feel like I know him and his whole family. You are doing amazing things and helped battle so much. I would love to be able to meet you. I’m watching from Louisville, KY..
Once again you're preaching to me! I lost my confidence in so many things and I thought it was a bad thing! So wonderful to know (again), that I'm right where God wants me! Hallelujah!
My parents did everything right and I went up for a header as in a soccer tournament and a travel league at age 16 in Kentucky tore meniscus and the pain pills. I was prescribed unleashed a demon on me. That took a decade to put the genie back in the bottle and I thank God that the genie back in the bottle never to be released again I thank you God I humbly thank you for choosing me. I won’t let you down.
Who ever reads this God has a plan for you. Stay positive and strong . Not for likes just trying to spread the word of God to you...❤🙏
I love the changes I’m seeing in Steven Furtick. He’s becoming a man who’s seen how lost we can get and he’s trying to tell us that we’ve got it all wrong. That we need to humble ourselves more and really seek after Jesus more. So many people say this man is arrogant. Throughout this series he’s looking more and more like a man who’s been through some stuff and is really relying on God more than ever. I’m inspired and humbled even more by this. We need more of Jesus and not what Jesus means to the world, but what Jesus means to us to the depths of our souls

You don’t get confidence back, you gain a NEW CONFIDENCE, YOU GAIN JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!
I covered you in the blood of Jesus Christ forever. You will help many many generations by his grace. I will pray for you to continue until the end of your life. Stay forever in the house of the lord.🙏🏼
Overcome the beast, like the Son of Man has!
“I lost my confidence, but I gained Jesus Christ” what a great way to end the sermon. 😭 I was going through heartbreak a few weeks ago, and only then did I start to come back to God. I had lost my confidence, my self esteem and I had no strength to go on, but God never left my side. 😭 So I relate to this in many levels 😭 for the past three days, the enemy has been messing with my head.

Be strong and of good courage.. I also experienced a bad breakup recently and extreme heartbreak and it ironically pushed me closer to God. Only by his grace and love I have regained my confidence, self-esteem and self worth! I really relate to your story and maybe God put me here to tell you that you are more than enough and he desires to have you fall deeper in love with him. God bless!!

2years later what happened to you? Did you fail or did you receive your miracle... I hope the lord heard your prayer
I had to stop comparing myself to others and just pray to God to help me see that I was more than enough.
"I will keep preaching until you are sane"🤣🤣🤣🤣Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was healed 4 weeks ago tomorrow. 45 years mental illness no more meds or insanity. Depression or a iety. No soda no caffeine
Had chronic pain now I can tolerate it.
praise the Lord Hallaluia
Thank you for this Steven
I’m confident at times. Sometimes I have to pray for it.
Back when pastors words ALWAYS hit home.
In the last two messages, there’s been a guy walk close to the stage. Praying for his circumstance! God is good!
@taeafonkert we appreciate intercessory prayer! Thank you 🙏^EC Team
Indeed there is no expiry date on the word of God. My word for this moment.
Amen Arinda Joan! We totally agree with you that there is no expiry date on the word of God. God bless you in this season of your life.

I got a letter from my daughter (who’s in the U.S. Army) and her letter spoke about how she enjoyed your ministry and how it’s getting her through moments of doubt. So I tuned in and I really enjoyed this message. Thank you for ministering to my daughter.
Awesome❤It's always overwhelming joy for me to see the Hand of God in my children's lives.
Awesome ,Listening 2 U , Awesome Man Of Almighty GID I Am Truely Blessed, In Jesus Name Amen
Confidence is based on character and consistency. Now THAT’S a message our children need to hear 🙌
Yes Pastor
I cant even count how many times that I've lost my confidence. I refuse to count on my own confidence anymore and lean on the Lord, which that in itself is a second by second battle for me. I thank God for God and making me broken.
It's a journey and a process
I listen to about 3 sermons a day from Steven Furtik. He is anointed and blessed. Thank you for helping me stay sober. Amen
Wow, I promise God has responded so quickly to me tonight with this specific sermon. I was just talking to myself and telling myself that I was no longer going to be a victim, I admitted it all to the Holy Spirit. I’m not placing my faith on what I can do but the fact that God’s plan is perfectly made for my life. Why should I trick myself into thinking that I’m not worthy of a relationship with God because I like rap and I curse sometimes and I’m not perfect. He made me and he knows my heart.... I trust you Father, thank you for removing my need to prove myself for something so much better 🤍
"I go back and forth feeling really confident at times and sometimes I can't find my confidence anywhere". Oooo, this sounds like me at times. "But it's not how much confidence you have, it's where you put it" - truth, Amen!!! Lord increase in every area of my life even those places where I've been walking in my own confidence and not know it 🤲💭. Maybe my sunny personality and knowing "who" I am in christ can come across as someone who is overly confident but It's just who I am and I can't apologize for that. Love to you and Elevation Worship 🙏♥️
This man is amazing to me, he got me through an abusive relationship and here I am trying to get on my feet oh my goodness keep it up Steven Furtick
Pastor Furtick, you just preach what God wants you to preach. Sow those seeds!
I just want to say Thank you. You mentioned that you doubted about establishing this church in a sea of churches in Georgia, but I am glad you did. Because I waited 40 years to hear about Martha and Mary. I waited 40 years to hear about nemar, and about fences and offenses. Your sermon and your words will forever affect this family. Thank you from a small town in Germany.
God Is Great. In my doubts He brought me hope. In pain and suffering He gives relief. When narrow-minded He broadens the scope. Celebrating victory over all defeat. There's no trial without error. No faith without works. No bravery without terror. No setbacks without perks. So my confidence is in God no matter what.
"Sometimes our consistency can be the enemy of our humility."
A loss of confidence in ourselves creates a perfect position to grow our faith in the power of Christ. This series and how Pastor has addressed "digging" and the removal of pride has been pertinent in my life. These difficult sermons have put me in a state to recognize God's grace and allowing Him to be my confidence.
Amen preach it
I love this guy's extraordinary sense of humor, keep it up!
Pastor Steven furtick 😍😍 Ur a gem sir ....every word of urs pierce into my heart that I am going closer and closer to God day by day 😍😘😍😘

@@shibarani8824 sweet humility. Great example ❤❤❤you just ministered me
Thank you. This is powerful. My confidence on JESUS.
I am so utterly taken aback by the message from God channelled through this brother in Christ, Steve. Oh man.... How humbling. How heavy, how freeing.... amen! THANK YOU JESUS! PRAISE YOU MY EVERYTHING, MY SAVIOUR. MY ALL. 💖💖
Yes. Thank you God. Preach it pastor. A thousand Amens as I sit here at 1 am watching an enjoying your message.. Love it.
You can have the whole world but give me Jesus I promise I won't turn back, no turning back. I am trading everything I have and know for Jesus
he is one of the best, but you can totally tell its the holy spirit speaking through him! I wish I lived there, we need more preachers like this who arent afraid of what others will think. I am using my husbands account in order to watch. my name is Jaime.
I'm learning that your discipline in doing good is not what makes you righteous. Our righteousness is not ours, but the righteousness of God revealed in Jesus Christ. He's all I have, and all that's worth having. Thank you Lord, and thank you pastor for preaching the truth!
Amen
Thank you for speaking what God has put on your heart! I have been praying for confidence for a year and needed this message. I fell hard last year off my horse. I had it all and when I fell and returned to God I heard him tell me you have a false confidence. It has been a struggle to say the least. Your sermon puts this last year into perspective for me. Thank you God that you know what I need better then I do!
I have really been going through some trials and struggle greatly to find preacher's to listen to that get down to the heart of the issues, I am so greatfull to have found him in a time such as this. Thank you Lord for hearing me. In Jesus name Amen
This message hit different after you’ve tried everything you know to do and still aren’t satisfied. Putting that confidence and faith in Jesus yields exceptional results. Praise God for this message.
AMEN 🙏
Don’t listen to the worlds opinion on who we should be to be happy. God is your happiness if you let him. S.F is awesome.
I buried my confidence, so my faith can resurrect.
Forget the hype and dwell on the HOPE we have in CHRIST JESUS!
Such a blessed message. The Lord crucifies our confidence, until it rests totally in Him. Confidence resting in anything or anyone else will always be shattered. 🙏
You remember you are my son you are big Achievement ministry Best sporting goods leadership about you because you are Great servant of God Amén Hallelujah 🙏🙏
Spot on, our confidence should be based on the
Lord Jesus Christ alone and not on our own abilities.
And judge not for our hearts can be very deceiving. We are often humbled when we realized we have made a mistake in our presumption.
Thanks God for Pastor Steve, Shalom and Godspeed
@@catarinafalcon7189 ,in a sense it's true. We trade our confidence for Christ's confidence. Amen
Shalom and Godspeed

Now more than EvEr this message is needed - especially for me🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
You and your family are amazing and I love you all!!! Thank you for following the path God lead you on bc we all need you!!! ALS is a horrible disease I am a CNA and I have a patient whom I love very very much and he also has ALS. Pray for him and his wife 💞
In the name of Jesus Christ help me maintain my faith I know it's not in my flesh and what I do but my confidence is shaking in this dark season I need you more than ever
'I'm letting it go. I'm not trying to get back on my horse. I don't even want to ride in that direction any more. I've been down that road and I'm ready for something better.'
Amen. It's all rubbish compared to knowing Jesus : )
AMEN-OUR DEPENDENCY IN CHRIST JESUS IS A MUST IN EVERY PART OF OUR LIFE. FOR APART FROM MY SAVIOR I CAN DO NOTHING. AMEN.
I lost my confidence just woke me up to realizing how far from God I am. Thank you for helping me to realize why God allowed this painful heart break. My trust in another human being who appeared genuine and honest turned out to be a total misjudgment and Ive always known to never put my trust in men .. God show me this at a very young age if I can break promises to my self how in the world can I trust in another human being. I’ve forgotten how loyalty God has been to me and this sermon woke me up. Thank you 🙏
Aaaaamen!!! No confidence in the flesh!! You cannot judge someone based on what you see.
This message is so pertinent to me right now....amen.
My name is Nicholas I'm a veteran undergoing veterans treatment court for legal reasons and I'm in need of some serious prayer for successful completion in this blessed program and for my twin brother as well. Please and thank you my fellow bros and sisters.
Amen. GOD BLESS.
I need prayer. I need prayer.
Wow. I’m pretty sure that this message just changed my life and shifted my season.
Talk about practicing what you preach, this is good! Furtick teaches His ways are not our ways, blessings are not always what we would think to hope for, that blessings come as trials and hardships, whom He loves He chastises. This is a living epistle, a shining of Glory, evidence of The Power. Blessing and Shalom to all in Jesus name.
God I pray for Jesus confidence. In my decision making, in my choice of words, competence, and and my character. In Jesus name amen. 🙏
God used my situation to crucify my confidence!!!! Fill my perspective with faith Oh Lord.
Amen! I Am so grateful for all that Pastor Furtick has done for The Kingdom Of God! May The Lord continue to pour out His anointing on Pastor and His Wife, may the whole elevation staff and church !
Amen
The second one was me I can be so confident then so fast pop my patience I was never like that please pray for me to be able to have will of force
You can talk about your family as much as you like - like you said, preach from real life and not just from the book. It's the reason why I listen to your sermons, they're relatable, real.
Sometimes God just works in His ways to allow certain things to flow exactly in the way He decides. He is good. Praise God.
Again our mighty GODS words through you Pastor Steven pulled me out of going into a breakdown I will make it through another day sober..... GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR STEVEN AND HOLLY AND ELEVATION CHURCH SO GLAD I FOUND YOU ALL.......
This sermon was from 3 years ago and it’s so relevant in today’s world. I listen to every sermon from pastor Steven Furtick and I feel like I know him and his whole family. You are doing amazing things and helped battle so much. I would love to be able to meet you. I’m watching from Louisville, KY..
Once again you're preaching to me! I lost my confidence in so many things and I thought it was a bad thing! So wonderful to know (again), that I'm right where God wants me! Hallelujah!
My parents did everything right and I went up for a header as in a soccer tournament and a travel league at age 16 in Kentucky tore meniscus and the pain pills. I was prescribed unleashed a demon on me. That took a decade to put the genie back in the bottle and I thank God that the genie back in the bottle never to be released again I thank you God I humbly thank you for choosing me. I won’t let you down.
