Life After The Let Down | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

[jennifernickell]

4/21/22 I have listen to Steve for the last 9-10 years. It started in prison I watched him grow. I graduated Victory College in prison in 2014. Going through my own struggles after prison, now matter what I’m going through I will always tune into Steven’s newest sermons. They are always on track with my life.

I was addicted to drugs for 15 years been sober 3 years with a relapse 6 months ago been bitter angry jealous and judgemental but since I been watching pastor Steven my life shifted slowly I know we are here to save the Ones we love not destroy them I'm also a over thinker but lately I feel like God is comforting my heart and working inwards thank you

[brendad]

JESUS’s birth, life, death and resurrection changed everything!

[jacoblewis]

It's 7/17/23 very early in the morning, I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ, I never thought I was good enough and would constantly disappoint God, but now I know there's life after the let down. I already feel a difference. Thank you Jesus.

[August]

You always have a word for me. I’m at the airport crying listening to this. This word was exactly for me, thousands of miles away. My heart, has been shattered and broken for so long. I am slowly coming back go life.

[dontdoitdonnell]

I have fought with depression for many years but I knew God was with me. I have thought about my mortality so many times but told myself that I didn't choose to be born so it is not my right to end my life. December 31, 2019 I had every intention of ending my life. Had the clearest plan I have ever had and in that moment I called for help. There was no delay, no waiting list, just answered that changed my life forever. I have survived this pandemic through the grace of my father above. I started college in 2020 and now have my associates degree. I'm currently working on my bachelor degree and I know jesus is the way to the father and I trust in him to guide me home when he is ready to bring me there

[sephraim]

Pastor Steven, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The impact you have made on my life is beyond words, this message I will be listening to multiple times over the next couple of weeks. It was so rich of details about the human experience of the Christian walk. Love from Tampa, FL.

Mercy Chidi from Meru in Kenya April 2024. I am the founder of Ripples International ministry that rescues children who have been sexualy abused. I have been following you for the last 2 years. what a blessing you have been in my life

[easterlys]

As I listen, I realize that God has been the Lord of my letdown for a long time. The Lord began teaching this to me when I became disappointed and angry at Him for not providing the daughter I knew He promised. (Long story with validation) I still professed Him as my God and told others about Him. I still praised Him. I still loved Him. Later, He gave me a vision of the baby I lost through miscarriage at 19. She is in heaven waiting for me. He holds her and takes care of her. She is happy.

[ionlybelieve]

I have come to realize that I hear God speak directly to me when you preach, every time you preach because you hear him speak directly to you every time and when he speaks every one of his children hears his voice and responds to what he is saying to them . Thanks for letting him speak to and through you. Shalom

[kittylady]

Brother you are SPEAKING to me. I lost my mother and everything I’d known and worked so hard for all within 6 mos in 2021. I go through my phone and there is a delineation of time, just as you shared, visible in my eyes. This has been the loneliest, most heartbreaking 2 years of my life. The promise of the “3rd time” you discussed gave me hope!

[kalycamaegan]

Hello Pastor Steven. Thank you so much for this message. I've been feeling down lately. I don't know what's gonna happen in the future. I feel disappointment especially towards my husband. And right now, I feel like our marriage was a disaster. My brain has been telling me that I shouldn't marry at all. I regretting my marriage so much. I wish I stay single for a long time and not married to anyone. My husband has an anger management issue. He got angry most of the time. The last time, my husband got into an argument with my parents. He hated my parents so much that he started to isolate himself from everyone. And it breaks my heart very much. We have a child and he's still 1y.o. We came from a very different family background. I wish I knew what I will face in the future before married to him. I wish I knew that I will have difficulty with his family. But everything is too late. The voices inside my head keep telling me that everything is chaos. That no one can save our marriage life. That our future will be so bad.

But your sermon just reminded me again about how God's working in our life. At some point God will let us down with things around us, just to give us a miracle afterwards. And right in this time, I'm on my lowest moment. My family is in the lowest moment. God, please help me to stay strong throughout all this storms. Please remind me that Your plan is for our good 🙏

A friend sent a link to this video. She knew nothing of what was going on. The guilt of feeling as though we have let Jesus down is overwhelming and the devil can make you feel like giving up. I am so glad God laid it on her heart to share this video. Very much needed and appreciated. I pray for all those who are discouraged and feel they’ve gone too far or sinned the unforgivable sin. Hard as it is get up and keep running the race. Nothing we do catches Jesus off guard. Like you said, Jesus don’t need us to hold Him up. Praise Jesus!!!

[abbyleos]

“ The one with the greatest potential also experienced the greatest pain” wow truly brought me to tears

[misheckmbewe]

This message was for me every part of it, thank you pastor Steven for being the vessel for his words. I have struggled with alcoholism for years now it has taken away every thing from my relationships, my finances, my faith, and my health. As I type this message I am in bed unable to walk properly because I just survived a road traffic accident driving under the influence. I am in a point of sorrow regret and all sorts of disappointments. This message gave me hope that there is life after the let down. I have given my life unto Christ once again I believe this is a turning point in my life I will live to share my testimony with the world by God's grace. God bless everyone listening to this right now indeed he has not finished with us.

[teremolina]

I believe in the depth of my soul that this message was put in your heart and spirit for me. After losing my beloved son at 29 to an accidental overdose I have been at the very lowest of my lows and trust me, I've had many. 💔I know Gods not finished with me yet. Thank you pastor for your pure and serving heart and your obedience to the holy spirit. Happy Easter.
