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 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!!

“THANK GOD that they broke your heart.”

Wow, just wow. The wisdom in this sentence. I’m letting this sink in every day.

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 😀😀😀😀

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

[OutlawRdd]

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!

Elevation Church has changed my perspective about how life should be

[breann]

You preach from a place of completion. Literally from outside of time.. God is breathing through you

[marlenapetty]

My feet are bound but my mind is free.

[maggiesayenda]

"I'm glad about it... it showed God is enough and I don't need them"

[meggiemera]

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

[vulturemode]

“God let’s you set in the fire to set you free.” WOW !

[mornekleyn]

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!!!!

[stephengachara]

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 Prodigal son

[stephsteph]

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.

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.
