This was the first service I ever watched of Steven Furtick and it was on Netflix. It changed my life forever. God used this sermon to start my journey and get back to where I use to he with God.
Hey there, Andy! Thank you for being a part of our precious eFam from where you are & for sharing with us your favorite takeaway from this message. May you continue to experience God's Love & Goodness in your life. Jesus loves you! 🧡
Amen...this May 14,2020. Been in nearly 6 weeks because of the virus. Thank you Pastor Steven. Im 63 here alone. Your church and family are the best. You have blessed my life since I ran onto your church about 3 months ago. God has givien you the GIFT! Thank you!!!! Hope to meet you someday, being in Arkansas I doubt I could come. Thank you for all your ways to watch. I can't afford to be online and dont have cable but I will do without to watch your sermons. God bless you, Holly and your children. Stay safe during this time. Love you!💒💒💒🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
Kendra ,I agree I was introduced just a few months ago as well. I cant get enough of the words given to Pastor Steven and then I came across the praise team... WOW what a blessing....
"Don't ever go to a church that teaches you that only perfect people get to play a part in God's purpose. THIS is why Elevation church is AMAZING and why I am back to God.
Hello Chris.. We are so sorry you are going through this season. However, we would to refer you to a message that shared by Pastor Steven a while back to encourage you. You are not alone Chris. God sees you and knows you by name. Here is the link: facebook.com/StevenFurtick/videos/2845493465547064/ We are praying that the Lord meets you where you are at in Jesu's Name Amen.
I listen to pastor Steven Furtic on daily basis and always feel renewed in spirit and mind everyday. Struggling doing house help job to get fee for my college three years now, I will not let God go before He say something to me, I will not give up just as Jacob did. Thank you pastor, all the love from Kenya. Kenya celebrates you
Amen, my son has been in jail for almost 2 months, but he is clean and sober and studying God's word now. So yes when we are alone is when God does his greatest work. My other son has been sober for 2 months and was babtized Easter Sunday, and another one of my son's was arrested 2 days ago, I'm praying for his sobriety and healing, my older son Brandon is still out thier,,but I'm confident he is next!,
Was just encouraging a friend that He is the God of our Jacob Seasons. Had to come back and watch this message. So good! Look at Pastor Steven! So young!!!
I’ve known the Lord since I was 19 yrs old, through many struggles I can say I wear the scars like peter did, I Back slid yet walked back to Him, cause there’s nothing better than living for the Lord. This msg is out of this world. The Lord used you to get me back, and I thank you again. I know how much it takes for a holy man of God to carrie HIS people through the dessert. My prayers are with you!! What an amazing message, only one word to say “Wow”!! *shakes her head* lovveeeddddd it!!!
My God my God help me to not lose myself o God !!! Help me to remember my roots and how I was raised. My mom raised me up in the way I should go o lord. Finish ur work in me O God. Thank u Jesus
I love how Pastor Steven delivered the sermon and how God uses him to teach us the Bible deeper than just read it like a history book or history of Israel. So powerful. Wooowww. I keep saying "Wow" the whole sermon. Keep preaching, Pastor. God bless you and the Elevation church.
I didn't get to watch this message last night because I was at work and I really hoped it would stay on RUclips. After listening to it now, I feel so comforted and overwhelmed with joy, brought tears to my face. Like, even the parts of myself that I'm not proud of or ashamed, He's still my God. In my struggles and victories, He's still my God. Years ago, I made it a personal assignment of pretending to be someone I'm not, busy trying to be better than the next person beside me, clout chasing, attention seeking etc, but one day I finally decided I was done faking and posing and this message addresses that to the core. This message really solidifies the meaning of staying true to who you are. I just want to be what God has called me to be, not pretend to be an Esau.
So glad they pulled this one out the vault! This series was the one that got me into Elevation Church!! Truly believe its one of my favorite sermons of all time (not just at Elevation or by Furtick)! Totally spoke to my heart and spirit!! He is the God of Jacob too!! Amen!!!
I hope one day he comes to West Africa... Ghana in particular.. He has a fun base here...from their Ministrations through music to the sermons and the short podcasts... I've been Blessed
We can become stuck in the limbo of Life when we live in comparison desiring what others have. Never comfortable with being content with what you have. Never happy exactly the way things are. Never happy with the way WE are. If we live in ‘never-enough’ we live Life caring what others have or what others think; we’re holding on to our neediness of me-first in every area of Life. Deep down we already know what we want in our heart. 💕 Our heart knows things that our mind wrestles with, and to find peace we must find a new identity - a new name. When we listen to what our heart’s been speaking to us all along we are no longer enslaved to our me-first mindset as we become secure in Christ. Grace plus self-denial is a Life of what is… is always enough. ☝️
I never got that connection before between Isaac asking Jacob ..what is your name and He lied... and the man jacob wrestled with says ..what is your name?..Jacob told the truth and God gave him a new name in( that time of their struggle) ..Israel....He is not only the God of our successes but the God of our struggles... WOW love how share God's WORD!
Ok. This is so perfect for this time....you are so young here but spot on in message for our situation today. Thank you from Puyallup,WA Linda bones ...we don’t miss any of your preaching since the Virus and praise the Lord you were available while we stay home. We give to our church here in Bonnie Lake and thank you that you are so available for non believers to listen to also. Your church is amazing. Looking forward to visiting in the future. We had just bought a new used car to travel 2 days before shut in so we are way behind. I am 71 husband Jeff 66. No funds to do it now . Our Airbnb is closed for now and we are not working so my have to travel way later than we planned...love your church family.thx❤️‼️💔🌈💐😷😷😍🧻🤗🥰💗
This might be older sermon but just as real as if spoken to me today.. i love the wrestling match.... the verse from Graves to Gardens came to mind.. I'm not ashamed to show you my weakness, my failures and scars you know them all and still call me FRIEND... TY Lord Ty Pastor Steven for being obedient years ago for a time as this I can receive the word.. Be Blessed .
"it's possible to get what you want and not want what you get... it's possible to get what seems like a blessing but, the way you got it leaves you on the run because it wasn't really you." ooh I felt that 🙏
Pastor Furtick is such a real preacher and teacher. So many preachers are perfect and at times not relatable because they always say " some of you..." as if they elevate themselves above the everyday struggles of this life. But I'm so blessed the way He ministers Gods word in a everyday way.Such an amazing gifted preacher. To God be the glory for such a servant. You ministry reaches to South Africa and I thank God for the reach of the Gospell
I used to belong to churches that only wanted perfect people.. but I don't do that anymore.. God uses all types of people, I would live if fear to judge anyone for any reason
Soooooo good!! I wish this whole series was available! Thank you so much for blessing me with this message and what a great message for young adults to listen to. What a blessing the Furtick family is. Love the honesty in Pastor Steven and Holly. We really need it.
I discovered Pastor Steven on Netflix and Death to Selfie is the Series I watched all day on New Year's Day of 2016!!! I am so Happy God led me to Pastor Steven and Holly...I was so broken then and NOW I'm filled with JESUS JOY!!! Thank You Jesus and thank you Pastor Steven for this sermon that turned my life around!!!🕆🕊🙏 AMEN!!🕊
