Two years ago , I came across this pastor and smirked ..all these pastors and their sermons ...come 2019 ...the love of my life , dumped me and married another woman ..Dec 2019 , I went into immense emotional, mental and even physical pain , got trapped in grief , noone could console me , I searched for heart break sermons and this pastors sermon came up , suddenly I was crying and releasing my past and my faith in God renewed. Still need more healing but God did not betray me and he used this pastor whom I once dismissed ...only the Word of God...Lord Jesus
This man can preach!!! Watching his sermons and hearing the Lord’s message has mended my heart faster than I ever imagined! ❤️🙏🏼
I wanted to hate you so bad, but Jesus said "show him Grace" so I'm sitting here still with love in my heart. I wanted to wish things on you so you could feel the same pain, but Jesus said "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing," (1st Peter 3:9) So I'm sitting here praying blessings upon you. I wanted your whole world to crumble so I could laugh and say "see,told ya so," but Jesus said "No Julie thats your pride. Instead, speak life into him," so while you were tearing me down, I turned the other cheek and lifted you up.
My revelation about this whole 8mons "it is what it is, but it's not what it seems." What I thought was punishment from all this pain, was actually blessing to rebuild me because there will be other battles that'll come and I need to be trained like a Marine to endure it. I can see the other side of the storm GRACE IS COMING 😀😀😀😀 keep me humble when the blessings start to pour 🙏 I am in HIS favor 😀😀😀😀
(A message for my ex)
I hope things are going w/o with you. God provided you with wisdom, keep The Faith sister. God bless you each and every day 🦋
That was awesome. Thanks for posting, really really blessed by reading that. 💕
God bless
Jules LeeAnn amen to all that.
oh Lord. it looks like your words are coming out of my mouth. the same thing here. expecially the pride thing.
it's been five months. but I am glad that it happend
“THANK GOD that they broke your heart.”
Wow, just wow. The wisdom in this sentence. I’m letting this sink in every day.
This man is truly anointed of God. The words that come from his mouth are always right on the money and right on time. Thank you Steven, keep on preaching on!!

Pray for me pls 🙏
I didnt even watch the video, but I just try you guys... And I rlly need somebody to pray for me. It's hard to say what, but im 14 and Idek if im with God anymore and in a way idc. BUT ik it shouldn't be like that so all I ask you is for prayer!
This literally felt so directed at me even though I sit here in 2020 this message was still relevant to my life now. Praise Jesus!
Same here
Elevation Church has changed my perspective about how life should be
I'm glad God closed that door so I wouldn't spend my life in the wrong room.
“sometimes its not the devil its the decision” i had to like, unlike, and like again!! thats powerful
It may sound weird... Im a survivor of stage 4 Cancer and "Im Glad it Happened!!" For I know Gods Purpose for Me Now! I love Jesus more than I ever Have. Post my battle im a big Advocate for sharing Gods Faithfulness. Although i suffered quite a bit. It had 2 Happen. My perspective has definitely changed!! Jesus knew i would come out Better! Now im able to serve at church and got Baptized, raise to Life!! Im a better Woman of God and again i say" Im Glad it Happened!!" God is Amazing!!!!🙏
I was having such a horrible night and I was doubting myself and thinking of that horrible past. But then God told me to google this church, that I’ve never heard of. I live in Canada’s NS, and this video popped up. I needed this
Meggie Mera I did too... I really needed these sermons. God brought me here
We are in the GTA actually, you can join us at elevation church Toronto location. google the location.
Hello Meggie, it’s 10 months later and I saw your post! I really know what you mean! Are you good now? I just prayed for you, lol!
I'm from NS as well 🤗💖 I feel your pain sister. Dust it off! Rise up, and take your Cross. Much love and blessings to you.
Amen ❤
My feet are bound but my mind is free.
God i am trusting that you are busy positioning me for an amazing breakthrough, i am declaring in Jesus name that eventhough it feels like things are falling appart, i trust rather to believe in faith that things are falling in place!!!!
"I'm glad about it... it showed God is enough and I don't need them"
Yes you're correct God is enough
The past three years have knocked me down in ways I thought would completely destroy me, but God has revealed Himself to me in ways that could never have happened otherwise. Hard? Indescribably so. Am I glad? Indescribably so! God tore down idols and stood with me and held me up when I thought I could do no more. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
"A friend loves at ALL times" ... people have to walk through their pain. The real friends are the ones who stick with you when you feel like your life is down the can.
Everytime I click on these sermons they meet me where I'm at. Thank you Lord for always showing me the light to where you want me to go. I love, you I thank you, I'm yours. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God brought me here .I was dealing with some tough things in my life and these sermons give me such strength..I feel closer to God while praying and little things make me happy...God has a plan for me and he is closing my doors to open bigger ones... Praise God
I'm glad it happened it still hurts but I will never stop Glorifying you Jesus. You are my desire you are my everything no matter my situation you will always be first in my life.
I was mad at God for 10 years for not saving my marriage. Now I’m told I have terminal cancer and have 6 months left to live . God has my attention and I have been sharing the gospel every chance I get cause I don’t have much time and I have a real sense of urgency now. If this is what had to happen to bring me back , I accept that.
I'm glad I came to know elevation church. You are my role model pst Steve Furtic. I'm glad for what I'm going through which is the same situation my parents went through &died. I thank God for He used the situation as guard to direct me back to salvation, it is after my attack that I received Christ. Thank Jesus for I won't die but live to proclaim his work in me Amen. From Kenya........ Prodigal son
I don’t know how many times I have listened to this sermon. Currently God has called me back to the place that “it happened”. Without this sermon and understanding I wouldn’t be able to go there with my heart in this position. I’ve still got 9 hours. I may listen two or more times. To return home in the position of a servant who can say, “I’m glad it happened”. I’ve been gone almost 8 years. It’s taken that long for God to correct me into this statement.
I am grateful for intentional pain. Much love to Pastor Steven & Holly who without fail show the Love of Christ.
Day 82 !
Resolution is not an event , it's a decision.
You don't have to enjoy the process in order to celebrate the result.
#Preach Pastor Steven !🔥🔥
Love from India 💓
“God let’s you set in the fire to set you free.” WOW !
It's 2019 and I'm still blessed by this message! Amen!
You preach from a place of completion. Literally from outside of time.. God is breathing through you
I’m not a hostage I’m a weapon.... you better tell somebody 🎶Hallelujah🎶
I have gotten addicted to Steven Furtick's messages.
I am watching this 2 years later half way through the year, and this is what I needed for this season of my life. Keep preaching pastor what you do today will echo through someone's life in 2 years and reach them right where they are!!!!!!🌈🌈🌈🌈🦄
Lord I thank you for your word. You are faithful and you will make all things work together for my good. I am glad it happened!!! Its for your glorification Lord, when the time is right You shall reveal it.
Thankyou Pastor Steve for this timely msg - I can almost say, ‘I’m glad it happened’ and hopefully soon with a smile on my face as you say‼️ and it’s no laughing matter: my husband left me for another and the struggle has been enormous even with God at my side - coming to terms with betrayal, confusion and unforgiveness...
I wanted my marriage to be a testimony of God; now I can see brokenness bringing all glory to him ..... thankyou for healing received today 🦋✝️=♥️
Praise GOD
God bless you and may God give you double for your trouble. May your latter days be greater than your former and may your life find new joy, peace, meaning and purpose in Christ.
Thank you, I was heading to the VA hospital because I thought I could no longer stay alive, I was really depressed. After hearing this message I feel like I have changed. Depression went away. Thank you Jesus and you preacher, Pastor Steven
Everything that everyone has said here in the comments really hits home with me. I want to be a better person. A better brother, a better son, and hopefully become someone that can be accepted eventually- little by little. I'm fighting addiction, and I need to get the upper hand on it soon. I'm caught in the whirlwind and time is running out for me. Please have me in your prayers. I need Gods Grace badly. I will continue to do my part. Please thank you all
Had me in tears. Everything I needed to hear. The step I needed to take to keep rejoicing. I’m glad it happened
“It will happen. It had to happen. I’m glad it happened.”
“Are you where you want to be? And you ready for what’s next?”
Reflection must be done correctly in order to be productive.
When you reflect, you should avoid resentment.
Watch out for regret.
“Regret is just resentment”
Your spirit does not have to be a reflection of your situation.
There are some things this year that I get the story wrong.
Resolution is not an event, it is a decision
Paul is not focused on what is happening to him but what is happening through him.
The story is dependent on the outlook that you have.
God is up to something.
You gotta revise on some of your story.
“I am not a hostage to some of your opinions. I am not a hostage of what went wrong.”
I am not a hostage. I am a weapon. Formed in a fire.
I know what matters NOW
I came here in chains, but I am gonna be set free.
Progress is relative to priorities.
‘Coz I am focused on the results
I don’t have to like the event to celebrate the result
You don’t have to like the change it has created
As long as I am making progress, I can endure anything
Can you praise God if the situation that has not been resolved
I am glad for weakness, it lead me to deeper strength
“Mature faith”
I wanted to say IT HAD TO HAPPEN. I have recently went through a huge multa and just moved in with my sister whom I haven't lived with in over 20 yrs., Her husband is sick with cancer and she is in the middle of a custody battle and has her teenage daughter after being estranged from her for yrs. We just sat on her back porch at 2:30 a.m. here in mo. And she told me to turn this on ,on my phone on you tube and she randomly chose this sermon, she is amazing and absolutely wonderful. Now what a blessing and wonderful memory while yearning and learning for and about the Lord.. Thank you cause THAT HAD TO HAPPEN. I will forever hold that memory close to my heart, I feel my multa is her time to get something she's needed ,see it's not about me possibly. Your amazing and I am so happy God has hand picked you because I actually learned more from your service on you tube then I have in yrs. IT HAD TO HAPPEN,GIVE GOD THE GLORY
Watching this on Jan 4, 2020 and I am so grateful to God for His Word spoken in my life. I am bound in a dwelling not mine and where I am not welcomed, I have been hurt, bitter, angry, resentful and utterly disgusted with positions and people in 2019. But in faith I prayed to be delivered from all of it. He took of those negative feelings away so that my ears and heart would be clear and my tongue silent so that I am ready for and recognize His voice. I am ready and my eyes are on God in all things. Order my steps Lord I pray. Selah
These sermons and prayer are really setting me free , God led me to this at the perfect time. God bless you Steven Furtick!❤️
Wao, my greatest role model and mentor. Your sermons are what I have been feeding on and my life has been revolutionary transformed by the grace of God. I'll be coming to visit your church all the way from Kenya Nairobi
Saw you preach file the first time last night while watching TBN in Jamaica. Opened up my UA-cam app this morning and this was the first video. Recognized the name, then saw the face and decided to watch. All I can say is Wow. This message spoke right to me, and my situation from late last year. I read Phillipians while in involuntary confinement but gave it has new life this morning. Word for word that was my experience. Thank you so much. You have the Spirit upon you and remind me of my Pastor, Toure Roberts. Infinite blessings and love to the entire Elevation Church Minisistry. Selah :)
I am glad it happened. At the end Dec 2017 I decided to walk away from a fulltime position for not my dignity but because of my faith and my health. It was scary because of the changes to come of the unknown. I have cried prayed fretted but my faith had to bring me back. Philippians 4 vs 6.
I have since gotten jobs through agencies and other offers with my union benefits. I had to delete my classes for this semester but I'm glad it happened. I'll be working to get my house this year then go back to school. Sometimes ppl are helping you. I was not made to worry for God is good and he'll see me through. I smiled when I sat and saw what was being done to me...but I am over it and I am happy that through their unfairness evil behavior I will be doing better. I don't need you to apologize. Pastor I found you searching for gospel music. My faith is growing more and more...I know no one can take anything from me that they didn't give to me. This msg was made for me pastor...thank you in the name of Jesus!!!!!
He's a way maker.
I am blown away by how I always hear exactly what I needed to hear. God is a mighty God. This is powerful and I am so grateful for what I went through this past year that finally brought me to me knees and to my Heavenly Father.
I am not there yet, saying I'm glad it happened; today, I was just told that I need to have a Hysterectomy. I knew that I needed it and I thought I made peace with it; the reality just hit me that I will not be able to have kids and I broke down. I don't know why God is allowing this to happen right now! I need God's strength.
Nadine, I understand how you feel. I pray this verse will give your strength: "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9) ^EC Team
This is soo good! He’s on fire!! Thank you Jesus for his anointing!!!
Steve has got me thru so much this year I was at my rock botton when I started listening to Steve and God my life is completely changed thank you so much keep changing life's 🙏 ❤ 🙌 ♥ 💜 💕 🙏 ❤ 🙌 ♥ 💜 💕 🙏 ❤ 🙌 ♥ 💜 💕 🙏

I need prayers for my husband and the woman he just moved in with, to fall out of limerence for one another and for him to come home to my son and me. He's not a bad man. We've been together over 17 years and it's a long story but I know the Lord is telling me this had to happen in order to bring you back to me first and then I'll restore your marriage stronger than it ever was. I need prayers for strength and for me to get the job I need to support my son and I until the Lord fulfills his promise. I am so devastated. I haven't worked in over 16 years as I was a stay at home mom who homeschools our son with mental issues. Satan has been after us so hard for so long, but I know that though God did not cause it, he is using it to bring me closer to Him and to make me a stronger person. I need prayers for the Lord to give my husband wisdom. I pray for God to send the woman he's with someone who can really show her the love she needs and for her to find God. I pray my husbands anger at God fall away and that he see the Lord didn't cause this. So they are no longer two but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.
Matthew 19:6
I will not have to fight this battle because it is so much bigger than us. 2 Chronicles 20:17
Thank you to anyone who prays for my family. God bless you.
I'm not a victim nor a hostage! I'm a weapon!⚔️
Watching this many months after it was uploaded and the same message still applies. Dear God. As we get ready for 2019. I am not happy with some choices I made during 2018. As a young person I'm always discovering new things about myself and other people. And I pray that you forgive me for my mistakes against you and others I care about. Let's go into 2019 the right way. Thank you dear God.
Thank you God for using this preacher!!!♥️🙏🏽💪🏽 Thank you for talking through him and sending me confirmation ♥️🙏🏽💪🏽🥰⚖️🙌🏾

On December 31st 2017 I was watching this sermon. My year had been filled with heart ache, trials, and many tears. I can now look back now that it all happened and I am glad because God's purposes are bigger and greater than I could ever imagine! I wouldn't choose it but I wouldn't change it. I have never known such peace and my faith grew by huge bounds!
Amen God your glory is all that matters

kimkimi kawlni hi
I second that. Blessing is an understatement of the impact this ministry has had on me. Life saving would be a better term for this experience. Thank You God!
"i am watching you every morning before i start my day ...i want to see you as a person you are the biggest instrument for my healing and transformation in this year 2020.."God bless you, your family,and your ELEVATION CHURCH ..."TO GOD BE THE GLORY" THROUGH YOU PASTOR STEVEN FURTICK❤
It doesn't matter what resistance that is against me am glad it happended🙏🙏🙏🙏I stretch my head toward my future
Hi Pastor, I thank God for your life and preaching, through you, God is speaking to me! I’m a single mom and I can relate to your message. I’m Glad it happened! Now, I’m holding on Everyday to God’s promises, one of which is that “God is the Father of the fatherless”
I know I'm supposed to trust in God's plans for me and rejoice in closed doors because there will be a great rewards on the other side of the valley, but I'm finding it really hard to be glad it happened.
I gotta admit, am practically a member of this and I wish to be physically in that church someday :)
my family and I have been through many storms in life, but we are in the storm of all storms right now. We have a blended family of 4 boys. Two months ago one of our precious boys took his life at age 21. One week later my 45 year old husband had a stroke. In the weeks to follow the devil has taken advantage of our brokenness and vulnerable state and have mopped us around like a rag doll. People (family) have turned on us leaving us more broken. Every time I'd try to stand, I would be knocked down even harder. We have been a family that has built our home on the Rock. Our hearts foundation has always been the Word of God. This storm has tested our faith to the pit of darkness. I don't know how to live without God, yet my anger and pain pulled me away from Him as well. His grace has been abundant and undeniable. Regardless of how hardened our hearts have been, He has provided for all of our needs. This series has been one provision. It has spoken to my anxiety, fear, doubt, pain, stubbornness. It has also spoken to my purpose, God's plan in my life, my Strength. It has helped me rise up and fight back. It has broken chains and helped me be set free. I listen to your messages every day. They help me stand and face this battle. Thank you for speaking TRUTH into my life, you are truly an open vessel and your messages are saving me day by day. I am refocused and making progress. To God be the glory!
All things work together for our good
One word to describe this: Timeless
I have heard this message before, but today I listened to it with my heart, and I will apply everything you said as I reflect on this year before you going into the new year. My favorite part "you do not have to like how it felt, but appreciate the change that created." May God bless you for all these great sermons that helps me grow and change day by day.
Took me all week to work through this one; still in process but I believe God is doing the miracle in me so I'll be able to say 'I'm glad it happened'.
@Lisa Jordon, thank you for joining us. You might find this message enlightening as well. (the trilogy). ua-cam.com/video/QVWCjc-XUm8/v-deo.html
Thank you, Lord💙 like always, perfect sermon for the perfect timing🕊💜

Thank you for this powerful message! My 20yr old son who’s a wonderful young man has gone through some disappointing things from adults with other motives in 2 colleges that I care not to name . On Basketball scholarship’s ,he wants to be the best he can be & yes he’s always been very confident which @ times can be perceived as arrogant when favoritism & other motives are in place but thanks to the seeds that has been sown into his life he refuse to “ give up” this kid FaceTime me this evening and says mom I have these videos you’ve got to checkout, I said ok I will, so grateful I did. He said mom I’m alright with the “ pain” Because God is “still “ in CONTROL . Love my kiddo you are DESTINED 🙏Greater is he that’s in you , he says mom ,he’s saying what you & dad has been saying to me all along! HALLELUJAH !

This message was sent from God & my Dad who we lost feb 1
I'm glad it happened. This sermon is everything for me. God bless you Pastor and also your ministry.
God is so good. No matter what we go through, God helps us because He loves us, so whenever we go through anything that may not be what we want, where there might be pain, quickly get out of it by Praising God and rejoice in The Lord and watch wisdom flow deep inside of us to gain more knowledge and wisdom for the future, for the now, the future, and helping others in those dark moments but The Light is always near, never forget that; With God all things are possible, never forget that and peace and joy is within us just make sure your faith and trust is always In The Lord 🦋
