The best is yet to come and He's coming soon. Satan is working his hardest on the faithful because he wants to rob you of your reward! Hang in there! Whenever you feel like giving up, show up, and you'll be renewed 💚
Pastor Steven and Holly. I've been watching elevation church messages since the loss of my baby in October. My husband left 2 days after. I haven't heard from him since the 29th where he said he was moving his ring to his right hand. I've listened to the messages and prayed/fasted and saw God move in my life. Even when my husband couldn't see it. Thank you for helping getting me through this storm in my life. Please keep preaching. I turn to these videos to break those strongholds of the devil on my mind. Thank you. God Bless You!
We are sorry to hear of your loss and please know that we are praying for you and with you. God is still with you and moving on your behalf and we are grateful that the sermons released by our Pastor have been a light for you in this season. ^EC TEAM
Lauren, thank you for believing God in this time of apparent double loss. But Isaiah 61;7 is yours. Your getting double/double blessings for your double pain. satan wants to pick a fight with you? Tell 'em your faith will empty out his house. Matthew 20:20, Joel 2:25 And I will restore to Lauren the years that the locus has eaten, the canker worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm . . . The Word we received for New Years is RESTORATION!!! I will remember you for your restoration. My favorite is Isaiah 55:8-13. Speak this regularly. Peace, peace.
Husband & I watch you every day. The eyes of his heart are still not opened up. He looks at the Bible like a history book. Raised Lutheran, before the alcohol came into play. 30 yrs later, he is a dry drunk who has no idea what it's like to really feel. I'm hoping this series gets through his crusty outside. Inside is a frightened little boy, waiting for healing & love. If your reading this, pray for God's will in Larry's life. Leave me a thumbs up so I know your helping because I'm weary... God is so good!🙏💪🙌✌💖
i'm from a small town just like you. population (4500) i lost both parents at the age 7. little did i know God had to move me to break me to make me what i am today. i lead a small part of hillsong somerset west youth(cape town, south africa). all i want to say is you made me believe i could one day tell my story to the world. i don't have much but i'm gonna allow god to use whatever i have.
Almost every time I had a conversation with somebody I would start with hey, I'm nobody. So my opinion wouldn't come across the wrong way. But then God came into my life and it turns out I'm more than just a somebody. I'm a child of the most high God. It doesn't get any better than that
i was recommended this pastor a couple of weeks ago. I moved to France from New York and i am having a really hard time adjusting. I need God in my life, to give me strength. I really appreciate my friend for showing me this church. It gets me through the day through the hour and minute. Whoever reads this please pray for me.
I'm praying for you in the mighty name of our lord and God! I pray he orders your steps and provides you with the comfort you need. To give you a home away from. Put the right people, places and things within your path. Guidance and covering!
Thank you for sharing, JolieEnFrance! Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." You are seen by God, known by God and LOVED by God! Lifting you up in prayer! ^EC Team
JolieEnFrance I will believe too for your adjusting. I saw this movie: The Least Among You. A true story of a college fella from the hood about to embark in2 this great job. Some things happened and this quote from Bohhoeffer in the movie was: "Pain is like a holy Angel who reveals treasures to men which otherwise remain hidden" . We have a church in France. Not sure what name it's called, but search Word of Faith International Christian Center. Why not look them up and let me know. It is after hours and can't provide info right now. Do look us up.
Okkk 😭😭😭 literally. Steve~ you know not what you've done for me repeatedly. I CAN HEAR YOU. My faith has always been with the LORD. Watching this was a 2day thing for me at wake up... Ive been saved from addiction ect. But I've lost my joy in sobriety.😭YOU just reminded me~ IT IS IN MY GRATITUDE!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭 ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU.
Hey everyone good morning! It’s money making Monday and let’s remember to get up and pave the way for our futures. Give and be kind to everyone today. CARE! Have a blessed day!! -Cat Vallés
Thank you for reminding me who God says I am . No one knows the truth about me but God. I've made so many mistakes but God has given me His righteousness. Praise God!
Everything God puts in your life will come on a small form. Jesus came as a baby. It will seem insignificant in the beginning stages. That's why you can't despise the day of small beginnings. You have to realize God is working on your life. 🙌
Your message changed my life. Here in India. The Internet that one was a weapon to pull me away from His grace. Thru you trust me thru you, God Grabbed me. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW GOD PUT ALL THOSE SERMON IN YOUR HEART, SO YOU CAN SAVE CRAZY YOUTH like Me. there ARE moment in your life that feels like you are home. And the moment I attended your 1st live church experience [transition state] ohhh my! there was bomb 💣 in my mind..... This man is saying everything about me. I tell you I have notes of your every sermon [chasing contentment] [God us good in the valley and on mountain] [ available] your sermons are like God talking to me. You once told me why people like me like go live [because we like it hot out the oven]. Last Sunday, Chris sang you turn sea into high ways. I pray the seas that separation elevation from me will be made highway and will bring elevation to India. And give God to alll. That's my all time prayer now. In Jesus name Amen 🙏. And thank you Steven Furtick 🌸
Pastor, you are chosen to be God's mouthpiece in dangerous time we're living in now where people are looking for validation in all the wrong places. God is speaking to us now to run to him and be saved as he is coming soon ❤🙏
Kingdom Clout part 1 Matthew 20:20 Don’t be controlled by what people think about you “What is it you want?” I came to church to get something from God There is a kingdom that can’t be shaken Mark 3 Who Jesus chose to set up his kingdom He started with diapers Don’t despise small beginnings, rejoice over baby steps! Jesus picks people who have problems We live in a generation that doesn’t know the difference between greatness and fame Who you are, whose you are There’s a difference between having clout and being chosen People will celebrate all the wrong things Mark 3:17 I’m not just a nobody When you attach significance to yourself It’s not really to be noticed but known God makes you great You could be chosen and not even know it Hope this was helpful and I appreciate if any of you would pray for my uncle who has a brain tumor, and Godbless ❤️
Pathlighters4Christ YT What was the other piece of that concept? I have noted the part about when we attach significance to status, it will never be enough and can be taken away. The Kingdom Clout TRUTH is that we are chosen, right? The other part is when we attach security to stuff...... it’s never enough and can be taken. But what is the Kingdom Clout TRUTH?
I had to pull over... Overwhelmed with gratitude...Our Father chose me....I'm my Father's and that's more than enough 💜. I'm known by Him & have His 👂. Thank you, Pastor Furtick. I pray your continued strength in our Lord and Savior.
I'm 26 years old, I got baptized 3 years ago when all I knew was God was what I needed. I can attest that wanting to be what the world wants to see was me! To be something you have to have materialistic belongings. It is now that I'm taking those blinders off, and know I only want to serve God. And to me that is successful! I want to be his hands and feet for my church, my community wherever he puts me! Such an awesome message, had me in tears toward the end. I always share your videos, because I know my friends on Facebook need to hear God's word. I don't care what others think of me, only God! 🙏🏼❤
After some time in prayer and worship I sat on my bed to listen to a sermon before I go to bed. This is the first sermon I saw. And the exact same things I prayed to God about the exact same things he revealed to me through meditating in his presence Pastor Furtick is speaking about. The comments here are so overwhelming. Thank you Jesus for continuously proving yourself to me. Confirmation that my name is in the Lambs Book of Life!
As a community college student in a small town and coming from a broken family, this message is very meaningful to me. I find myself afraid of what my future holds. Afraid of the position I will be placed in. This message has really opened my heart up to the idea that God has made my future, that he has already planned my steps, and if all I do is reach out for his promises, I will receive the life I am promised. Thank you, Lord for Elevation and RUclips!
Amen! I don't know you but as a fellow Christian and chosen one you will remain in my prayers from here until the Good Lord takes me home! May he continue to bless you!!
Jesus loves me no matter what. He chose me. He chose my brokenness , my damaged, he chose my weakness. And I chose Him. Hallelujah!!!! Thank you Pastor Furtick.
I watch everyday and find it always relatable unfortunately I became disabled at 46 talking about a shock but if I couldn’t listen to pastor Steven everyday to start my day I wouldn’t make it through . I keep telling myself this disability is for the good and has humbled me but I’m human and pain can take over sometimes along with depression. I was a nurse and very active but MS has taken over . Need prayer 🙏 and I love you pastor you just don’t know how much listening to you brings me peace through the father . Amen 🙏
When my now 17 year old son was little, if he wanted to be held or picked up he would say " I want to be with you" this reminded me of that. That's my prayer today, Jesus, I want to be with you."
This is now my third time watching this sermon. Tonight, my 14 and 10 year old children, will be watching this sermon. Pastor Steven, this message is relevant for all generations and people. To God be the glory for using you to speak to the hearts of his people. So much meat in this word/sermon; I'll be feasting on it all week. Thank you and God bless you and your ministry!
This is an amazing sermon Pastor Steven! This is my second time watching, but I most want to praise your consistency! Thank you for showing up and doing God’s work week after week, multiple services, at midnight, on RUclips, On Facebook, on Instagram, on the web, on the App, everywhere, everytime. When I am in this most difficult season, that I thought after 2 years we were done with and then came an even bigger storm, now 4 1/2 years in, 2 1/2 I have spent being fed by you and your church in addition to my own time with the Lord. This season has made it hard for me to get into a brick and mortar church, but I thank you for consistently being here preaching God’s Word.
I absolutely love this message!💜 We don’t need validation from anyone else but God!! I’m a senior in high school and I’ve been praying that God will bless me with scholarships to help me pay for my college education, but guess what?! IT’S ALREADY DONE!! I am chosen by God. He didn’t bring me this far for nothing. Thanks for this incredible message that I needed to hear!🤗
"What do you Want" To live as Christ, or to be self absorbed, lonely, depressed and unhappy, or to believe that God always has your life in his hands, your attitude should be that of Gratitude, everyone has problems, how we deal with them is the challenge, Trust that God will always be with us, and God know's the Big Picture, he can see the future, we just need to embrace the PROCESS and Trust We aren't defined by others or their opinions of us, but God's 🙏 He already loves us, the Kingdom is already here, Thank you God, we live for you God💜 We Praise You
Real Kingdom authority comes from knowing who I am and who's I am....and from not allowing the world to define me by what I do, what I have or what I wear! Whoooo-HOOOO-WEEEEeeeeeeee
"Celebrate where God already brought you from to where he brought you to." Powerful. I don't have much but, I know that I have been brought out of things by God and am very thankful to God for where I am and who I am today. The final prayer is powerful. I played it several times and each time I'm repeating "Thank you Jesus." over and over again.
I am so filled with joy that God chose me to fulfill his purpose and for those who are reading this should Rejoice and be glad in Him. Understand that God chose us and that no matter what problems we think we have to keep us from doing His will that He loves us still and all!
Pastor Steven, Ive tried listening to many many people speak about God and for Him. Out of every one your sermons have truly CHANGED my life. Every time I click on one of your videos, you preach a message that seems like it was just made for me. Its always the right timing. I want to say thank you God for calling you to be the preacher you are. I still remember the first video i watched and since then you have been a guide for me and my twin sister. When we are lost we seek God through your messages and he never fails to surprise us when he is speaking through you to us! Thank you thank you thank you and thank GOD!!!
All glory be to Jesus ! This message came at the right moment for me ! Yesterday I prayed to God about the fact that I was feeling unqualified et insecure about his plan for me and that he chooses me , and there this message pop up to my feed , that God speaking trough you !!!
Pastor Steven Furtick is so annointed, and I so blessed to hear what God has put on his heart to teach us! I am blessed to be able to listen to Pastor in my office daily which allows my mind to be filled with positive thoughts. As well as being able to share the gospel
Thank you God for Pastor Stevens son for some of these great messages! If he's anything like his father, He will also be a great man of God one day. Oh the things we see and learn thru our children. Thank you Pastor, once again this word was fire!!!!!
Hi My name is Mike and I was picking up the phone to say thank you and needed this .. And you said my name at that time. I sell Oxygen to people everyday and as I listen to you i am able to be used to let speak to the patients and it is trully the words from you and the words you received. Thank you
No Question Pastor Stephen is anointed. Thank you Pastor for following what God called you to do. You and your team are changing lives. We talk about y’all on the construction sites. We forward your messages back and forth and share our blessings with other. Keep doing what y’all are doing. Inspired
I am so grateful for this series ....I listen to them over and over....This has consumed me as an individual, believing I have nothing to offer all based on performance....I was raised and surrounded by performance and I constantly live in fear and insecurity . I've been crying out to God for deliverance in this area as it consumes me and I cant enjoy living for fear of being judged not received. But these truths Im gonna eat til that yoke breaks.....Thank you Thank you
If I could like that a million times I would. Wow, God really spoke to me through that. I go to a megachurch, Hillsong and I wanted the level of 'fame' and success some of my friends have but the thing this has taught me is I'm exactly where I'm meant to be, exactly where I'm supposed to be, exactly where God wants me .. and you know what, a lot of my friends and a lot of our pastors - they didn't want that level of well known, they just wanted to serve God humbly and they got it. Seek first The Kingdom of God and the rest shall follow. God bless, and love to all
I loved the mom who aksed her 2 sons to be at the left and right side of Jesus, our Lord and savior. She did not ask for herself, that's a Mother who sacrifices, that takes the courage and faith to walk up to the Lord and aks this of him. So humble and Motherly ❤ I've been going through some days where one day im good and the next I still feel sad/confused about my purpose or worry about the future. I know I don't just want attention but also the intimacy. I know not to worry, so these sermons help tremendously to refocus! Godbless you all ❤🙏
I started this listening to the podcast but finished it watching this. What a service what a pastor! I honestly want to travel overseas to go to this church to see him preach! My fave online pastor! Thank you for this. Keen to hear the rest.
I am so grateful I found your sermons on RUclips. Thank you so much for being real/down to earth. I am learning so much. My husband is watching as well. Mariana
When you attach your security to staff, it's never enough 🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Kingdom Cloud: So deep and powerful. I am so excited for this serie. God bless you Pastor Steven
Thankyou Pastor Steven for this powerful message reminding me once again that God paid it all on the cross and that I'm not just a nobody but iam a child of the most high God.
Its OK to care what people think about you, its not okay to be controlled by what people think about you. Thank you for that, because I have an 12 year old son, and its true these kids are so focused on popularity, and I guess from me being told not to care what people think about me, it was a saying I passed on to him. But now I am going to change that and re word it the way you put it. God bless.
Preach .... preach .... some topics, messages need sermon series....absolutely this helps cut confusion in our maturity in our relationship with JESUS CHRIST
Needed this sermon, thank you Pastor Steven for letting God speak through you the way he does. The way you break down God’s word for this new generation is amazing!
Wow!!! I thought I was a nobody because I was keeping everything up and trying to hold it in for everyone else. I told someone my “sadness, my struggles” and wasn’t supported. I’m heading to heal, great words of encouragement
My Opinion does not matter.. GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!! for Great works.. abiding in the shadow of the ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD on earth as it is in Heaven FOREVER AND EVER AMEN 🙏🕊👣🌲❤️
When you attach your significance to status or when you attach your security to stuff, it’s never enough God has options; God will always call those who He Wants.If He calls you,He wants you. Amen
May I just say, Amen? Amen, amen, amen. When I first came back to God, Pastor Furtick was the Pastor I stumbled upon. I know now I didn’t stumble, God lead me here. Being 20, soon to be 21, raised in a culture where you’ve got to do culturally great things to be seen as great, I have lost my way many times. Confusion was my top state of mind and disbelief that God would want ME, someone who’s typically anxious, shy, emotional, quick to suspicion, to be in His kingdom? Unfathomable. I feel so blessed that I can hear this message. So blessed that even when I act out in hopes of gaining favor from this world, God still calls me His daughter. The road is narrow and this world’s comforts continuously tempt me, yet I feel secure in knowing God called me and chose me. Though to this world my name may be forgotten, God never has and never will forget me. If there is any other young adult, or person in general, feeling like me, take heart! My brothers and sisters, many are called, all are LOVED! I pray this year that we all have confidence in who God is and what He is doing in our lives. God doesn’t chose those who are seemingly perfect, God chooses those who He can use. I’m praying for all of you as you go about your year. I’m praying for Elevation as well. Take heart, family, take heart.
@@elevationchurch Thank you very kindly for taking the time to even read my comment! I would very much appreciate prayers for courage. I am trying to get involved in my home church in Riverside, CA, but I have a distinct lack of courage. I feel called to go on a mission trip this summer as well, but I have so little courage. I've been sheltered all my life, never far from home, and I certainly cannot afford it...so yeah, courage please! I know God can, and I just need to ask if He will, but doubt/insecurity are my giants. Excuse my unloading on ya'll- I truly appreciate ya'll. Thank you again and may God bless your ministry!
@@jitteryh333 we are here for you! Just like Pastor Steven said in the sermon, you are significant and you matter! Whenever I need courage I always go to Joshua! Joshua 1:3 says "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. (ESV)" God has ordained your steps and given you a purpose! He is with you wherever you set your feet. Be strong and courage, there's no reason to get discouraged because God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9 ESV)! ^EC Team
Hi Jardie, the boldest people I know started out like us. I like Josua; and found Gideon in Judges chapter 6 is good where it was also a bad situation BUT God . . . Remember the Lord say fear not? I will return to my study: NO FEAR.
"My parents picked me, yours got stuck with you" 😂 I loved this preaching, I was wondering how much would you charge to come to my church, I'm 13 but every last Friday of the month is we have a teen sermon but I would like to bring you in, I think if my church can save up money we could bring you
I went out this weekend and was about to turn away from God and my church family. This just got my spirit on fire again.
just a reminder to stick with it!! jesus loves you!! He will never ever forsake you issac !
Don’t stop! 🙏
Hallelujah. The lord will never let you go because you are a child of God. In Jesus name amen
Thank you God! Prayers 🙏
The best is yet to come and He's coming soon. Satan is working his hardest on the faithful because he wants to rob you of your reward! Hang in there! Whenever you feel like giving up, show up, and you'll be renewed 💚

Amen brother, your so important to God that he knows how many hairs are on your head! Your an important someone my brother!
The amount of times I pause to take notes makes this a 1h30 min sermon instead of just 47 mins lol. He is preeeaccchhiing!

Man when he speaks fast, it sound like he spitting bars, from heaven...literally 👏👏😂

Last Sunday, Chris sang you turn sea into high ways. I pray the seas that separation elevation from me will be made highway and will bring elevation to India. And give God to alll. That's my all time prayer now. In Jesus name Amen 🙏. And thank you Steven Furtick 🌸
"It is okay to care what people think about you but it is not okay to be controlled by what people think about you"... That hit home!
Didn't it???
Pastor, you are chosen to be God's mouthpiece in dangerous time we're living in now where people are looking for validation in all the wrong places. God is speaking to us now to run to him and be saved as he is coming soon ❤🙏
Wowwww. ‘When you are scared you do crazy stuff to be noticed but its not attention you want its intimacy’ that was LOUD
Kingdom Clout part 1
Matthew 20:20
Don’t be controlled by what people think about you
“What is it you want?”
I came to church to get something from God
There is a kingdom that can’t be shaken
Mark 3
Who Jesus chose to set up his kingdom
He started with diapers
Don’t despise small beginnings, rejoice over baby steps!
Jesus picks people who have problems
We live in a generation that doesn’t know the difference between greatness and fame
Who you are, whose you are
There’s a difference between having clout and being chosen
People will celebrate all the wrong things
Mark 3:17
I’m not just a nobody
When you attach significance to yourself
It’s not really to be noticed but known
God makes you great
You could be chosen and not even know it
Hope this was helpful and I appreciate if any of you would pray for my uncle who has a brain tumor, and Godbless ❤️

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Thank you Father God
Bless blessed blessings
"The kingdom of this world only celebrates what is seen." Pastor Steven is on point!
I watch everyday and find it always relatable unfortunately I became disabled at 46 talking about a shock but if I couldn’t listen to pastor Steven everyday to start my day I wouldn’t make it through . I keep telling myself this disability is for the good and has humbled me but I’m human and pain can take over sometimes along with depression. I was a nurse and very active but MS has taken over . Need prayer 🙏 and I love you pastor you just don’t know how much listening to you brings me peace through the father . Amen 🙏
When my now 17 year old son was little, if he wanted to be held or picked up he would say " I want to be with you" this reminded me of that. That's my prayer today, Jesus, I want to be with you."
This is now my third time watching this sermon. Tonight, my 14 and 10 year old children, will be watching this sermon. Pastor Steven, this message is relevant for all generations and people. To God be the glory for using you to speak to the hearts of his people. So much meat in this word/sermon; I'll be feasting on it all week. Thank you and God bless you and your ministry!
Thanks for sharing, Erica! Praying God would speak to your 14 and 10 year olds in the same way he spoke to you though it! God bless! ^EC Team
This is an amazing sermon Pastor Steven! This is my second time watching, but I most want to praise your consistency! Thank you for showing up and doing God’s work week after week, multiple services, at midnight, on RUclips, On Facebook, on Instagram, on the web, on the App, everywhere, everytime.
When I am in this most difficult season, that I thought after 2 years we were done with and then came an even bigger storm, now 4 1/2 years in, 2 1/2 I have spent being fed by you and your church in addition to my own time with the Lord. This season has made it hard for me to get into a brick and mortar church, but I thank you for consistently being here preaching God’s Word.
This church is a blessing.
A Holy nation, a royal priesthood belonging to a kingdom that will never be shaken. Amen
Hey You killed it on the last part! Like wow! The Kingdom of Heaven is here now! Truth spoken
, for the Kingdom os in You!
I absolutely love this message!💜 We don’t need validation from anyone else but God!! I’m a senior in high school and I’ve been praying that God will bless me with scholarships to help me pay for my college education, but guess what?! IT’S ALREADY DONE!! I am chosen by God. He didn’t bring me this far for nothing. Thanks for this incredible message that I needed to hear!🤗
Tears flowing at 42 minutes. Thank you Pastor Steven. I needed this.
Amen to that one pastor! “It’s not ok to be controlled by what people think about you” CONTROLED
We are all called ,anointed, appointed ,and fired up by God🥳.
The Kingdom of God IS at hand!! We need to be about God's business because God doesn't have to but He is always about our business!!
This message reminded me that I’m chosen! I’m excited for this series.
"What do you Want"
To live as Christ, or to be self absorbed, lonely, depressed and unhappy, or to believe that God always has your life in his hands, your attitude should be that of Gratitude, everyone has problems, how we deal with them is the challenge, Trust that God will always be with us, and God know's the Big Picture, he can see the future, we just need to embrace the PROCESS and Trust
We aren't defined by others or their opinions of us, but God's 🙏
He already loves us, the Kingdom is already here, Thank you God, we live for you God💜 We Praise You
Real Kingdom authority comes from knowing who I am and who's I am....and from not allowing the world to define me by what I do, what I have or what I wear! Whoooo-HOOOO-WEEEEeeeeeeee
"Celebrate where God already brought you from to where he brought you to." Powerful. I don't have much but, I know that I have been brought out of things by God and am very thankful to God for where I am and who I am today. The final prayer is powerful. I played it several times and each time I'm repeating "Thank you Jesus." over and over again.
Thanks for sharing, Joanna! God bless! ^EC Team
I am chosen, not matter what my bank account or culture says. I have a heavenly father whose Kingdom is unshaken.
Great sermon to hear especially when you feel like the insignificant nobody. To Jesus, we're somebody. 😄
Jimy Delgado YOU ARE SOMEONE BODY! CHILD OF THE KING MOST HIGH!
You are the significant somebody in this kingdom, the kingdom of Christ.
I am so filled with joy that God chose me to fulfill his purpose and for those who are reading this should Rejoice and be glad in Him. Understand that God chose us and that no matter what problems we think we have to keep us from doing His will that He loves us still and all!
What a powerful message! I feel so insignificant sometimes but God does not call me insignificant. ❤
Pastor Steven, Ive tried listening to many many people speak about God and for Him. Out of every one your sermons have truly CHANGED my life. Every time I click on one of your videos, you preach a message that seems like it was just made for me. Its always the right timing. I want to say thank you God for calling you to be the preacher you are. I still remember the first video i watched and since then you have been a guide for me and my twin sister. When we are lost we seek God through your messages and he never fails to surprise us when he is speaking through you to us! Thank you thank you thank you and thank GOD!!!
👏👏The Kingdom of God is at hand 🙇🔥🩸📖

All glory be to Jesus ! This message came at the right moment for me ! Yesterday I prayed to God about the fact that I was feeling unqualified et insecure about his plan for me and that he chooses me , and there this message pop up to my feed , that God speaking trough you !!!
Pastor Steven Furtick is so annointed, and I so blessed to hear what God has put on his heart to teach us! I am blessed to be able to listen to Pastor in my office daily which allows my mind to be filled with positive thoughts. As well as being able to share the gospel
Thank you God for speaking through your servant
I was feeling very down but this message has revived me. To God be all the glory
Thank you God for Pastor Stevens son for some of these great messages! If he's anything like his father, He will also be a great man of God one day. Oh the things we see and learn thru our children. Thank you Pastor, once again this word was fire!!!!!
Who else cried during this sermon??? 😭😭😭❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏thank you Lord!! I loved this.

Hi My name is Mike and I was picking up the phone to say thank you and needed this .. And you said my name at that time. I sell Oxygen to people everyday and as I listen to you i am able to be used to let speak to the patients and it is trully the words from you and the words you received. Thank you
Praise God.
I am totally speechless. I am in utter awe. Hosanna in the highest! Hallelujah! Amen!
“Tryin to pace myself” 😂....... Always love Steven's sermons!
Thank you father God
No Question Pastor Stephen is anointed. Thank you Pastor for following what God called you to do. You and your team are changing lives. We talk about y’all on the construction sites. We forward your messages back and forth and share our blessings with other. Keep doing what y’all are doing. Inspired
I am so grateful for this series ....I listen to them over and over....This has consumed me as an individual, believing I have nothing to offer all based on performance....I was raised and surrounded by performance and I constantly live in fear and insecurity . I've been crying out to God for deliverance in this area as it consumes me and I cant enjoy living for fear of being judged not received. But these truths Im gonna eat til that yoke breaks.....Thank you Thank you
Hallelujah
At around 11:06-11:11 don't be sorry Pastor Furtick you are appointed and you are annointed. Your energy is what this world needs these days.
Thank you Jesus for this day!
Thank you for being here with us this day! 🌸
I’m crying in the club. That was so good. Praise the Lord 😭🙌🏽
Prayers to you sister. You know your place, its in the Kingdom, not the club!!!! Be blessed!!!
If I could like that a million times I would. Wow, God really spoke to me through that. I go to a megachurch, Hillsong and I wanted the level of 'fame' and success some of my friends have but the thing this has taught me is I'm exactly where I'm meant to be, exactly where I'm supposed to be, exactly where God wants me .. and you know what, a lot of my friends and a lot of our pastors - they didn't want that level of well known, they just wanted to serve God humbly and they got it. Seek first The Kingdom of God and the rest shall follow.
God bless, and love to all
I loved the mom who aksed her 2 sons to be at the left and right side of Jesus, our Lord and savior. She did not ask for herself, that's a Mother who sacrifices, that takes the courage and faith to walk up to the Lord and aks this of him. So humble and Motherly ❤
I've been going through some days where one day im good and the next I still feel sad/confused about my purpose or worry about the future. I know I don't just want attention but also the intimacy. I know not to worry, so these sermons help tremendously to refocus!
Godbless you all ❤🙏
I started this listening to the podcast but finished it watching this. What a service what a pastor! I honestly want to travel overseas to go to this church to see him preach! My fave online pastor! Thank you for this. Keen to hear the rest.
I am so grateful I found your sermons on RUclips. Thank you so much for being real/down to earth. I am learning so much. My husband is watching as well. Mariana
When you attach your security to staff, it's never enough 🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Kingdom Cloud: So deep and powerful. I am so excited for this serie. God bless you Pastor Steven
What a powerful point! God bless you as well! ^EC Team
The Word of the LORD!
Awesome God
I love him ! Furtick has helped me get through so much in life ..
🙏🏽
I am enough because Jesus has died for me. And chose me.
“The Kingdom of this world only Celebrates what is seen” Preach Furtick 🙌🏽
Thankyou Pastor Steven for this powerful message reminding me once again that God paid it all on the cross and that I'm not just a nobody but iam a child of the most high God.
cherry pick YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH! YOU HAVE PURPOSE! GOD LOVES YOU AND I DO TOO!
Means a lot. Thank you. God bless.
When you attach your significance to status. It will never be enough...
This comment is everything!! ❤
Its OK to care what people think about you, its not okay to be controlled by what people think about you. Thank you for that, because I have an 12 year old son, and its true these kids are so focused on popularity, and I guess from me being told not to care what people think about me, it was a saying I passed on to him. But now I am going to change that and re word it the way you put it. God bless.
It's such a good handle! Praying for you and your son! ^EC Team
Preach .... preach .... some topics, messages need sermon series....absolutely this helps cut confusion in our maturity in our relationship with JESUS CHRIST
The reason I enjoy Elevation Church is for Pastor Steven's honesty through the word of God!
Needed this sermon, thank you Pastor Steven for letting God speak through you the way he does. The way you break down God’s word for this new generation is amazing!
Wow!!! I thought I was a nobody because I was keeping everything up and trying to hold it in for everyone else. I told someone my “sadness, my struggles” and wasn’t supported. I’m heading to heal, great words of encouragement
You are definitely NOT a nobody Margarida! So glad you were blessed by the message! 🙌 ^EC Team
I really love and appreciate this guy, he really knows how to help all generations to understand the gospel. God Bless his anointed Soul.
My Opinion does not matter.. GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!! for Great works.. abiding in the shadow of the ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD on earth as it is in Heaven FOREVER AND EVER AMEN 🙏🕊👣🌲❤️
Amen
Amen Pastor🙃thank you sometimes I feel like a failure, but I know God loves me no matter how much I have messed up! Today i choose Jesus
You're not alone. That's the enemy's voice. We All mess up and fall Short, that's why we need a Savior
Amen
When you attach your significance to status or when you attach your security to stuff, it’s never enough
God has options; God will always call those who He Wants.If He calls you,He wants you.
Amen
May I just say, Amen? Amen, amen, amen. When I first came back to God, Pastor Furtick was the Pastor I stumbled upon. I know now I didn’t stumble, God lead me here. Being 20, soon to be 21, raised in a culture where you’ve got to do culturally great things to be seen as great, I have lost my way many times. Confusion was my top state of mind and disbelief that God would want ME, someone who’s typically anxious, shy, emotional, quick to suspicion, to be in His kingdom? Unfathomable.
I feel so blessed that I can hear this message. So blessed that even when I act out in hopes of gaining favor from this world, God still calls me His daughter. The road is narrow and this world’s comforts continuously tempt me, yet I feel secure in knowing God called me and chose me. Though to this world my name may be forgotten, God never has and never will forget me. If there is any other young adult, or person in general, feeling like me, take heart! My brothers and sisters, many are called, all are LOVED! I pray this year that we all have confidence in who God is and what He is doing in our lives. God doesn’t chose those who are seemingly perfect, God chooses those who He can use. I’m praying for all of you as you go about your year. I’m praying for Elevation as well. Take heart, family, take heart.
Thanks for sharing Jardie! How can we pray for you? ^EC Team
@@elevationchurch Thank you very kindly for taking the time to even read my comment! I would very much appreciate prayers for courage. I am trying to get involved in my home church in Riverside, CA, but I have a distinct lack of courage. I feel called to go on a mission trip this summer as well, but I have so little courage. I've been sheltered all my life, never far from home, and I certainly cannot afford it...so yeah, courage please! I know God can, and I just need to ask if He will, but doubt/insecurity are my giants. Excuse my unloading on ya'll- I truly appreciate ya'll. Thank you again and may God bless your ministry!
@@jitteryh333 we are here for you! Just like Pastor Steven said in the sermon, you are significant and you matter! Whenever I need courage I always go to Joshua! Joshua 1:3 says "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. (ESV)" God has ordained your steps and given you a purpose! He is with you wherever you set your feet. Be strong and courage, there's no reason to get discouraged because God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9 ESV)! ^EC Team
Hi Jardie, the boldest people I know started out like us. I like Josua; and found Gideon in Judges chapter 6 is good where it was also a bad situation BUT God . . . Remember the Lord say fear not? I will return to my study: NO FEAR.
So real and practical. Thanks sir. I connect with that. I feel that prayer needs to be spontaneous and real all the time
"My parents picked me, yours got stuck with you" 😂
I loved this preaching,
I was wondering how much would you charge to come to my church, I'm 13 but every last Friday of the month is we have a teen sermon but I would like to bring you in, I think if my church can save up money we could bring you
Things in this world will never be more important than people (souls)! Thank you Jesus!!
