Tell us below: What was your favorite point from this message and why? ^EC Team
"Get up and the chains fell off, Because obedience comes before freedom"
You got to stand up first before the chains come off
Stop knocking at a door that is already open, go thru in faith.
"YOU GET UP AND THEN CHAINS FALL OFF!!"
"Freedom from needing to know the outcome before the event "
You know what? The whole message 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes opportunity, oppression, and obedience all come in one knock. And most of the time that knock represents an answer to your prayers.
Am in Mecca....a Christian in Muslims, your teachings makes me wiser and stronger. Pray for me
kun shaqiqana qawiaan
Khaluhi Imbuda I have been trying to spread gospel to Muslim friends. It is very hard.
Stay safe, brother. I pray for God to give you boldness and courage as you share your faith, and that God reward those qualities with His protection. Wishing you all the best.
God goes with you. You'll succeed. You're protected under his refuge. He will keep you safe in the shadow of His wings.
Please pray for my broken marriage to restore again, god bless you all.
Don't give up praying! God saved my marriage after much prayer, when I thought it was impossible!
Ps 37 v 5 ..if you can let go and put the sutuation onto the hands of the Lord ... thats when the situation often changes ...like let go and let God Blessings
Exodus 14:14
John salama I see your request and I am praying for your marriage and will write it down to remember to pray again.
John I just ask God to wrap his amazing love around your marriage. I ask God to show the parts of your marriage that need work, to give you and your wife the strength to work on these things. I pray that God give you both some understanding and transparency. I ask all this in Jesus name.
Prayers going up for you.
“If your Heart is still beating, God is still knocking.”
Anilla Augustin “lub-dub” = knock knock ❤️
GOD KEEPS KNOCKING
Anilla Augustin my eyes started to water when he said that
I would be to Gates it was a good message
God always knocks to get your attention and to listen to here Amazing Grace in words you can give us( Anilla Augustin)

How you doing Naturli Tori jesus blessing you
Hey Naturali Tori wanna be friends

"you knock different when you are desperate. You pray different when you know you need God." That's for sure, pastor. Yes and amen, LORD
AMEN, PRAISE THE LORD
12:53 Sometimes the Proof that Prayers and Faith are working is that the Opposition Increases
If the devil showed up in the first place there must be something Important in us.
Obedience Comes before freedom.
Amen
👌
Yes, Amen.
AMEN
"You're out of your mind..well that was a compliment. Because my mind has been my prison all along." Preach🙌🏽

Would you wanna be friends Alexandrine? I'm trying to make friends that stay close to jesus
Let me know, let chat exchange numbers or so
“The only reason that God allowed the trial was to free you from what was holding you captive” 🙌🏾💃🏾😇💪🏾
Such a bad misuse of scripture to twist it to our liking. The message of that chapter is about the power of the praying church
When Steve said Peter slept because of what he had seen. Peter had seen Jesus sleep in the storm... and learnt from the greatest conqueror!
SERMON NOTES:
God's purpose will always overrule men's plan
When opportunity comes to the door, opposition comes too
Obedience comes before freedom ( Freedom from having to know whats next)
I GOTTA GET THROUGH IT!! God WILL get me through IT!!!
Amen sister stay in the presence of God
This is exactly what I've been going through since losing my 25yo son on June 4th from an attack by another kid. That angers my family because the 19yo kid hasn't been arrested yet. They don't understand me when I tell them GOD has it under control.
Hey. Im so sorry for your loss. Im glad that you are know that God is in control. The people around you don't realize it yet, just like Job's freinds did not understand why he went through trials. I hope you stay strong like Job who said "God gives and takes away blessed be the name of the lord". I'll believe praying for you
@@justagirl4627 Amen...well said. Sorry for your loss, Emy. I am in agreement for strength and faith and hope during this time. Rom 8:28❤🕆❤
"Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as the lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive" Colossians 3:13
God wants you to forgive the man who killed your son.
Amen, Revenge is only held in the hands of God! Sorry for your loss may the peace of God be with you! ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼
Please pray for me that I may have a strong faith in Jesus and he may make me a softhearted person like him.. God bless you ❤
amen brother
in mighty name of a gracful God Jesus... He will make you stronger... Amen..
Amen
amen 🙌🏽
When my daughter passed away. Prayed to God not to let me forget Him because I was only a newborn in Christ. I was Saved 7 months. She passed away on a Friday and I new I had to go to church that Sunday because I knew if I didn’t I just might walk away.
Then God kept knocking until I wrote the book God wanted me to write.
When I finally finish writing my book. God knocked again to get me to start speaking. I had to do what God want otherwise He will move on to the next person.

At the end of Acts Chapter 12, Peter wasn't dead, but Herod was. 🙌🙌🙌😥😥
His thoughts are higher than my thoughts 😭
At the end of chapter 12, Herod was dead. Peter alive 😭😭😭😭
If the devil showed up in the first place, it must be important, and he must be defending his territory, or else he wouldn't have showed up in the first place, HALLELUJAH! GLORY TO JESUS!!!!!
I just lost my job unexpectedly totally blindsided. Please pray for me guys. I have Bill's n I gotta live. Hope God will pull me threw this tough time, I need him right now 😥😥😞😞
Quietstorm7 God will pull you through. At first I struggled because I was trying to do it on my own. When I got to the end of my rope, I said Jesus I don’t know how to do this. I handed it over. Very fearful. Very afraid but let me tell you something - for the 18 months I was out of the job, Jehovah Jireh provided. He sent ravens to feed me. I trust him completely. Will say a prayer for you that your faith will stand firm in this time. God bless you
@@MsNella thank you so much. And I'm glad ur doing ok. I'm leave it in his hands
Rejoice in this difficult time worship God and hand over the situation to Him Refuse fear...repent of any anxiety..expect God to help you ....Refute negativity..Blessings ..This msg is for you
@@lizbinchy7860 thank you so much. Its gonna be hard but I'm gonna hand it over to him
He will come through for you... Trust him
"I don't know how this will turn out but I gotta sleep in between" this took me back to times where I had to trust God and his plan for my life and his way even though I couldn't understand nor see the outcome.
Peter was able to sleep because he had gone "through" a lot with Jesus.
I want to be out of my mind! It has imprisoned me for long enough.
Dry bones can live again. I won't stop knocking. I am grateful to God to be on this path with Him. The door may not open right away, but I will keep knocking. I won't stop believing no matter what. I will keep my door open to Jesus.
I don't know why but every sermon is on perfect timing
Thank pastor Steve May God bless you more
This I so true. Every time I'm going through something there is always a sermon that speaks to exactly what I'm going through. GOD's timing is always perfect.
6:21 reminded me of the fairly oddparents.
"Timmy! I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority by coming in anyway!" *Battering ram*
"I gotta go through it, idk how but I gotta go through it" That word was exactly what I needed in this moment!! Thank you Lord!!
Got to..praying for you..but keep going!
I’ve deleted Facebook. Never really cared about Instagram. The greatest decision I’ve made this year is too be a real social network.
Chad Stephens me tooo about a month ago! I felt like I was being convicted through each sermon I watched!!! It has been so amazing to be focused only on God and being able to hear His small voice without competition!!
Literally same
Amen🏆
I don't even have time for fb or twitter or insta. But i do get twitter or fb msgs/posts from Proverbs 31 Women and other Pastors. Elevation church is my media addiction! 😁 So thankful!
@@EFL_Orlando_USA_School_k-12 great Addiction, continue to apply the word of GOD to your every day life
Praise God for your life pastor Steven, thank God for your ministry I am able to hear the word of God through your channel, I am a nurse here in Saudi Arabia where we can't practice our faith publicly but because of you my faith and love for Christ has been renewed. Thank you so much, please include me in your prayers. Godbless
What kind of prayers do you need?

It’s my birthday today. I just wanna thank God for being present in my whole life❤️
Happy late birthday jesus is always in your life even at times you dont know it
Gods purpose will always overrule peoples intention.
@teresia wambui Yes, always!
If I get healed and my body restored from all the pain within internally then I know that God heard and answered my continous knock. I will know my knocking was important.
Know that God hears you regardless of your situation.
I'm praying in agreement that you receiving healing for your body and mind in Jesus name.
14:25 Peter was sleeping. That is twice today I have heard someone teach this. Thank you Pastor Furtick for again reminding me to stop working and/or worrying about my situation because I am just getting in Gods way.
Sounds like the Holy Spirit is saying, Rest.....
He repeats so we know He is saying something to us personally...to get our attention.
I didn't even intend to click on this let alone watch the entire video through. It's hard to put into words, but I got so many personal directed messages in this sermon. I am so blessed with this particular video. THANK YOU
When you go through it it means youve already entrusted God with it.My Pastor everyday all the way from Diepkloof!
Amen jesus helps you go threw it, keep faith in jesus chirst
HE PREACHED! I love his transparency. I resonated with every word!
i was about to stop knocking but now I know I have to keep on knocking GOD bless you pastor steven
Wooooooooooo..............
"I can do more while your sleeping" Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP- Rest is Power
Obedience always come before freedom.
I was literally nodding and crying and whispering AMEN while hearing this wonderful word of the Lord! I never had the eagerness to understand the bible by myself until I encountered this channel. I am really wow-ed how God uses Pastor Steven to share all of these. God really is the Alpha and the Omega.
Extraordinary moves of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience!
"It takes a lot of faith to pray for Peter when you just lost James." That, right there! Jesus!🙌🏾🙏🏾
The most inspiring, spirit-filled, powerful message I have heard! So beautiful and amazing how God keeps knocking on all our doors, never giving up on us even when we have given up. We have an awesome God that needs to be honoured and worshipped every minute of the day♥️
Sleep between two soldiers?!?! Just got a good night's sleep! Thank you, Pastor! Thank you, Jesus!
Me too. Thank you God.
To be surrounded by physical doubt but having the faith to believe in the unseen and trusting in God that we may have peace and rest in the face of despair... Amen
"obedience before freedom" wow

Blessed pastor. Thank you for being who you are. God bless you more
Amen !!!! Rest Trust my FATHER. .I NEEDED THIS..
I needed this, I will continue to knock. My daughter passed suddenly at 8 months during a nap on 7/31/17. I had a son a year later (not planned on) on 7/31/18. I named him Gabriel after the angel. He was born with a almost fatal lung disease that most babies don’t make it past they’re first year of life. The disease is called ABCA3. He is 17 months now but he is on a breathing machine at home 24/7, feeding tube, and monitor 24/7, but he is extremely active like a normal 1 year old, which isn’t common. I’ve been to ICU with him over 15 times. We found out the disease is genetic and 1 out of 4 babies could have this if we have more. It’s been extremely difficult since my daughter passed and I miss her sooo much. And now my baby needs a miracle, and we would love to have a daughter again. I will keep knocking. My prayer targets are for my PTSD and anxiety to go away. That Gabriel will be one of the successful cases and ween off of oxygen. That my heart will heal and that we could have at least 1 more daughter, one day when Gabriel is stable. And that our 4 year olds fears of his brother going to heaven like his sissy will go away. Side note Gia Marie would have been 3 on December 2. 🙏🏼👼🏻💕
Amen God is still knocking and the gate is open, just walk right through it.
Wooooo! Hallelujah, that's shoutin' ground. So good Pastor. Praise Him! 🙏
Amen. Pleas pray for me...
For God to remove all obstacles and hindrances. Been waiting for mybreakthru for over two years now. But something is always in the way. Please lift me and my fam up in prayer. Bless you!
Lord Lord this was for me about reopening 🚪 that God Has already closed...
Wow..I cannot wait to listen to this sermon again and again..coz it taught me how to knock always until the doors is open to me...hallelujah jesus
This was for me. I honestly believe it was for me. This was so encouraging not at all hard to hear because it's what I've been leaning on but I'm starting to question if I'm crazy because who I know God to be dissent match what people think he's doing. And I've been struggling like whether to give up!
So happy you did not give up! And even if you tried, Gods purpose would still prevail in your life.
Don't give up. Please
Please pray that I will meet someone who is right for me one day. Hope always seems to be lost after a heartbreak, but here I am a few months later holding onto the hope someone else is out there for me. You all are in my prayers - stay committed and He will work in your favor.
I'm in the back! It's preaching to me! I have I have, is God still with me is it even worth it! I literally have been praying this all week!
Oh .......what a message....very enlightening. Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick. I’m passing through a difficult time,my soul grieved after a loss of loved one. Very encouraging....It is Well.....
Wow...
Steven l like your gift of preaching!
This helps me understand why God has allowed me to sleep so well in this crazy season I’ve been in. He’s turning things around.
You knock different when you're desperate 👍
Facts lol
God bless you richly my friend!!! 🙏💪👊 My favorite part, is Pastor Steven's living relationship with our mighty God❤ God bless you all!!
This is an Amazing Message ❤️ Received such a Blessing Yesterday 🙌🙌
Amen. You live in the United States?
Steven Furtick is one of the best creatures I’ve ever heard he is so spirit lead I love his preaching so much
Sorry I meant preachers
Amen & Amen! All the Praise, Honor, & Glory to our Most High God! Thank you Pastor Furtick!
This is what I call a savage. This man can preach. What a powerful message. God has been speaking to me through so many sources and I see the message knock and trust in Him. He is doing great and mighty things. My God is answering my every prayer. He is the way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper. He is the light in the darkness. Thank you Jesus. All the honor and the glory to him.
Thank you for sharing this pastor Steven. Thank you for boldly sharing God's word to everyone+
Wow the angel said Quick!! Get up. Not later not tomorrow not the day after. No! Quick (right now).. even when we have chains on us, let’s get up & leave this prison, than the chains came off. I love how he said that. Even with whatever we are going through we need to stand up. God is good.
You came back with the 🔥 pastor Furtick. See why it is so good that we let our pastor recharge, people always get mad when there are guest pastors but they are people too. Thank you for this blessing from elevation.
Going through so much in my life right now anxiety, panic attack, depression and OCD disorders if that wasn't bad enough now I have a chest infection and bad reaction to medication the only thing that brings me through the day is your sermons everyday for the past couple of months and I thank you greatly for it may God continue to bless you and your family.
Please keep me in prayer I'm all the way in the Caribbean islands Trinidad and Tobago your words do travel far I hope to see you preach in person on day.
🙏🏿
It's hard to say "all things work together for good" when we are going through it 😞 not easy
That's truebut it has to be said by faith faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of rhings not seen
in the end there is God's purpose that will prevail
Praise God! Most High you keep pursuing me even when I knock on the wrong door. The enemy will do everything he can to make man/woman wander away from God's plan. Rise up children of God and simply GET UP!! Today the lord had delivered me and many others from our enemy! I love you JESUS!
Powerful Word! This word was for me! I am blessed. Thank you.
Great message I really needed this message right now I have received this word. Thank you Jesus Christ for pastor Steven for speaking this word. Watched it live in Sunday and again.
Thank you God for using Pastor Steve. Another timely word! Lord!!! :')
Day 92 !
Sometimes when we think devil is knocking to destroy us it's actually God who is knocking to develop us.
We need faith to dress up and go without knowing the destination.
Desparate people have different knocks.
Sometimes we have to sleep in betweens.
#Preach Pastor Steven
Love from India 💓
Great message! I needed this one. Opposition can also position us for God's purpose. I know I'm forgiven, but, sometimes feel forgotten. When I am overwhelmed, momentum has stopped and feel like it's over for me, I just need to keep knocking in my sleep. Appreciate the message.
Preach, brother, preach! So good & so needed. Thanks for your courage in faithfully preaching of the bigness and goodness and faithfulness of our awesome God. 👍👍
Dry bones can keep on living.. Dont stop knocking.. This message came right on time...
God knocked on my door for several years, after I drifted away from spending much time with Him. God got my attention by putting a few special Christians in my life this year. Physical problems has kept me away from church for many years, so God came to me through these two beautiful souls. I was up all night, yet another night, and there was Pastor Steve on TV preaching. I have tried televised services, but never really connected spiritually with the other ministers. Pastor Steve caught my attention. I hung onto every word. I wrote down the church's name, and his, Googled him, then searched RUclips. I listen to at least 2 different sermons a week, and .ore than once. Pastor Steve, if you hear about this, you knocked at my door tonight. It's the middle of another sleepless night, but I heard God through you. I have about given up on having my health restored. I guess I am afraid that something else will go wrong, and I didn't want to get my hopes up again for a big let down, yet again. I so want to meet a group of true Christian friends, not Sunday Christians. Do I dare hope that I can fall in love again, and not have to live my life alone, for the rest of my life? I have to believe that God really does want me to be happy, and risk getting myself back in church, as soon as I physically am able. In the meantime, Elevation is my church. I always hear God through Pastor Steve. God bless you Pastor, and every single person who heard your words, spoken for God. I realized tonight, God doesn't want me to be isolated and alone. I am up, and waiting for God, or whatever challenge is next, because I will be ok. Cynthia Senger
Thank you jesus for pastor steven. Because I can't afford to buy sermons online.
Lullaby santon you should never have to buy a sermon?
Prayer is power then Preach 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤩🤩🤩🤩
Dry bones can live again at the word of the Lord. Even at an older age, God can and will use me if I will be obedient and make a move.
Thank you Jesus Christ, the confirmation is real in my life and my wife, love you Vanessa. Thank you Jesus Christ for delivering this message through Furtick
"A lot of scholars think Lil Wayne was in the next cell" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is the kinda preaching I signed up for.
The entire message has so much for us to gleam off of... But I wanted to share, that when I have personally been worried..or restless about a situation.. When I call out for the Peace of Jesus in that moment. He will reveal the answer to my question in my sleep. It's so powerful.. Holy Spirit knows the Peace that we need and the answers we are asking for that He will speak into our dreams. I always know it's Him, because I ask was that of you Lord? His answers is always "Yes! Sweetheart! It is me don't be afraid I Love You and want the best for you."
It takes faith to pray for Peter when they just lost James, and to always remember how peter was able to sleep because he saw in his spirit how Jesus slept through a storm . God is saying , “ I can do a lot more while you sleep , than you can while you are straining “ RIP , rest is powerful.
Thank you pastor Steven furtick for teaching us to be obedient to God’s word by giving up on anxiety and changing our mindset by finding freedom in obedience. Through you Jesus is touching hearts and lives across the world. I write to you from Bangalore , India and I have been listening to you preach since the year 2016. Listening to you preach makes Roman 12:2 , take root in my mind and heart.
Yes Amen jesus can do alot
