I appreciate you for bringing your church closer to us who are far and I thank you for allowing yourselves to be vessels of God in your own capacity. Thank you Pastor Steven for another amazing word. I feel blessed in my spirit.

"I thought You were gonna" I believed my husband would be healed of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. When he died, I was terrified that although I had loved and followed Jesus since I was a child, maybe I didn't know HIM after all. BUT Father God is loving, patient and ALWAYS GOOD.... In the midst of the deepest darkest pit of grief, Holy Spirit delivered me to see the Savior as I never knew before. 5 1/2 yrs later I see, agree and purpose is greater and HIS plan is bigger!

I'm currently in a battle with addiction. One I denied for years and buried under other addictions. I've been having trouble because I've been wanting God to heal me on my terms, on my time, and my needs. I've learned that releasing the control I think I have to God, He will heal me in ways I could never see before.

This message is piercing my soul. I'm meant to be getting ready for work but I'm crying on my knees. Scared. Disappointed. Scared to let go of my expectations 😢
Disappointed because sometimes I feel God should have at least

Lord set me free from the need to control my life. Help me to let go. Set me free from this disappointment messing up my faith and trust in you.
Set me free from the torment of fear. Father God your daughter is scared and tired and has little or no fight left. Set my heart alight again because there's no other God but You. I cannot see or understand the 'bigger picture' and this is why I'm tired and anxious. Thank You Lord for Your word.
Amen.

God bless Pastor Furtik and Elevation Church for these messages.

Unrealistic expectations are what I have had, for about 9 months now.
I now realize I should never expect another human at all, in relation to myself moving forward in life.
Maybe other individuals are only here in our lives for a little while. Maybe they are just a part of my milestones.
To help me with a roof over my head and to help me stay the race of sobriety.
I have 10 months sober on the 19 of this month.
I was lost for 9 years to meth.

I want to move to Charlotte for this church.
"Wtf- where's the fire?? 😂😂
God fulfills his promises not our preferences"💗

[skyhighmentality]

God chose this man to preach his word. He has written and preached 1h 30m long sermons for 13 YEARS! No human can do that.

[katelynnm]

The message is straight up fire.
And the man that yells “amen” with his very distinct voice in so many of Furtick’s sermons makes me so happy. No reason. Just does lol.

When i feel like giving up, depressed, i always listen to your preachings and i always get encouraged and motivated, God put something special for you to give to the nations...God is so real People

[jeromesimons]

That's crazy!! I literally had a conversation on ME needing the power of God to show up in MY life, as it did for Elijah today. And wow! I picked this sermon, not prompted my anyone else. And BAM! I get hit with truth n revelation. Good stuff God

[RobertD-cyev]

Iam expecting to be around people who have high expectations of God

[ola]

THIS has to be one of my favorite Elevation sermons, today i was feeling extremely down because I had an expectation on how God was going to deliver me from depression and before i watch this i prayed that even if things don't go my way, i will still praise him. After i watched this, i felt like God was definitely speaking to me through Pastor Steven! Telling me not to rely on my thoughts, feelings or emotions but to know what God has prophesied about me, his child! i feel a million times better than i was!! i praise God, he's so amazingggg!!!

I've been healed in the past from severe migraine head aches in church and healed of a damaged hand (caught in a printing press roller) in my apartment with only my best friend praying for me and finally a traveling evangelical pastor through a word of knowledge told me I was healed of vertigo. I currently suffer with an essential tremor, terrible back & sciatic pain and also depression and anxiety. I've been waiting for God to use one of the above mentioned ways to heal me so I'm very grateful for this message God is working -I don't know how but I know
