To anybody who’s reading this I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life.

“Be careful what you judge me for today. It might be knocking on your door tomorrow” so many Christians say “just pray” when it comes to anxiety and depression which I’ve suffered from since being abused as a child. It’s not that easy! Thankfully my Father in Heaven has my back and will never, no never leave me. God is not like people and I’m so appreciative of that!!

In April I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I must admit I haven’t had much faith in anything for a long time. My mother who stayed with me day in and day out while the doctors worked to save my life would quietly watch these videos as I rested. This is the first one that caught my ear. I asked her to sit closer to me and let me watch. I would like to thank you for all the work that you’ve done. I may not be a man of faith but these words hit something. Thank you.

My husband left and abandoned our marriage...this sermon made me tear, reminding me so fiercely that God has not left me and will NEVER leave me alone....by receiving this amazing love, I am made able to continue to love my prodigal husband even though he rejected me, and pained me like nobody else has even pained me...

I watched this message twice. Even when my own family has turned their back on me, God said I will never leave you or forsake me. Heb 13:5

I'm in recovery from addiction trying to get my boys back and rebuild so many broken bridges with my friends and society my children's dad's r still active users and I'm 34 starting from scratch but God blessed me with an apartment and cleaned up my home town to come back to thank you Lord but this message is so powerful Pastor is so amazing and anointed him and his Family and Church are a blessing and I pray they are protected and blessed every moment of every day and night.Thank you for the strength and wisdom and insight.

I needed this today, my heart is shattered due to rejection, cruelty and betrayal . I don't know when I forgot that God would never leave me or forsake me. My soul has been touched again.

I am a child of God I am a new creation in Jesus name amen.

It's 2022 and God lead me to this sermon. My husband fell into the land of "NEVER" and became addicted to drugs, fully possessed by a demon that tore our marriage apart. But I have prayed for him and refuse to give up, though circumstances have forced me to move and step back. I believe God to set him free and restore him, so that he can be the witness for the Kingdom that he was meant to be. Lord, I believe in new beginnings and I am honoring my vows!!

I was about to decide to end everything in my life not until I have watched this, thank you for sharing hope to the hopeless. Thank you. 😭

"God knows things about your potential that even in your greatest moments of your triumph, you can only imagine."

I love this!! When my wife committed suicide 2 years ago, leaving me with 1 yr old triplets, Something got in me and told me that this pain is going to be worth so much more than I can see! I have believed this from the moment it happened. I am again as happy as I've ever been.  THANK YOU LORD!!  THANK YOU MR. FURTICK FOR YOUR WORDS!

I'm a recently born again believer. Thank you for your words from God. I'm a addict of many different things from a divorce went bad 20 + years ago. So I need alot of prayer please

I am a recent follower of Elevation church, I was introduced at a very crucial time in my life. I have CKD but have only began dialysis since March. I experienced the first worship service during my first treatment. I have since that moment watch it live on Sunday but also watch three times a week during my dialysis treatment. I am so thankful for Pastor Steven he is a true messenger of God, each sermon speaks to me no matter how recent or in the past. That is affirmation of how legitimate the word of God is for our lives, a life that we would be so lost if not for His presence, Love and amazing Grace.

The more you feel pain, the more in heaven you gain

You just plucked a lot of people out of hell with this sermon. I really needed to hear this. I have had depression since last year and your sermons are the only thing keeping my head above water. Christian's can be so quick attack you when they hear you have depression, they don't believe that a true Christian can have it. They tell you that you need to get guidance from someone, that you need to change your thinking process, that you are not right in having negative emotions sometimes. It can be so disheartening Please be loving and understanding of one another

This is a message for me right now..Im in a situation that is draining me and overshadowing me. A situation that i "Never" did imagine to happen before.. But God, surely will never leave me nor forsake me...Thank You Jesus..

anybody who is reading this, I need prayer, I've been fighting for me. Thank you <3

This sermon speaks to me. Praise God for you Steve! I used to be a never not ever type of Christian but God humbles us so that we must rely on Him and not ourselves. I hope that we Christians learn something here.
