I am so thankful for YouTube and for Pastor Steven Furtick for bringing the word to me everyday! You are such a blessing to me. I listen to at least 2 sermons a day sometimes even more. These sermons have helped me get through some very difficult times. Thank you Jesus!

When facing a trial often the KEY is not restistance but acceptance; WISDOM to know the difference🙏🏼

“There’s a difference between pain with purpose and pain without purpose” “Jesus wasn’t surprised by the pain because it had purpose” 🙏🏽 so good wow

[GensSancta]

The one verse I've been quoting all week is "The joy of the Lord is my strength". How timely this message is. Bless you and your Ministry, Pastor Furtick. :)

[STRENGTHFROMABOVE]

My question is: are you thirsty or have you let the circumstances suppress your faith? Who told you that you can’t get well? Who told you that your business can’t be successful? Who told you that you’ve reached your limits and this is as good as it gets? Don’t let other people numb your thirst. Don’t let what you see talk you out of what God promised. Don’t let time cause you to give up on the dream He put in your heart. Don’t let mistakes you’ve made convince you to live condemned with no passion. Get your thirst back; get your fire back. God is still on the throne. He didn’t change His mind about what He promised you.



Thanks for reading this comment, I hope you are blessed and uplifted by it. We are a new and growing channel, your support and blessings is much appreciated. Thanks and God bless you. Amen

"I'm excepting what u should resist, and I'm resisting what u should except" that one reached out and woke me up!! 🔥🔥

He flips a switch on us to fix the focus on Jesus. For us to praise Him first and foremost then everything else. 💡🌅🌌🌁 ✝️

Happiness is more about the happenings around us. Joy does not need circumstances. I like thinking that way generally :) great clarity from your message. Thank you!

[onyeomachinyeremaka]

*I invite the Holy Spirit to lead me decisions & emotional!I I let the Holy Spirit provide me guide in all my decisions.I allow the Holy Spirit to be active & alive in me by simply I inviting Him to lead every one of my decisions!!!*

[JayJay-smzy]

Consider it pure joy when you face trails. Amen

[nandishitiba]

Amen. What a powerful sermon, we look for joy in all the wrong places, people and materials when it can come from changing our perspective to what could be.
