  • My son is 48. Please pray he comes back to God. He was saved many years ago but he strayed. He no longer speaks to me. He needs a miracle of faith.
  • This message is for you Pastor Furtick. 2 months ago my 16 year old son was arrested for stabbing my 64 year old mother to death. That week when the homicide investigators arrested my son. I went home and cried out to Jesus. I experienced Roman's 8:26. The holy spirit interced in my lowest moment. I felt God's peace come over me through the storm. That week I watched a sermon and you spoke of Genesis 1 and the book of Job. I then went to a church here in Humble, TX (Houston) and the pastor spoke about Genesis 1 and the book of Job. God gave me confirmation that I was baptized with the holy spirit, and confirmed that he left the 99 and came and got me. In this message you spoke of getting poked to get blood. I had an anxiety attack and went to the hospital about a month ago, and when they stuck the IV in me, the devil was throwing the pain of my mom getting stabbed 14 times in my head. I thought to my self this little needle has no comparison of what my mother went through. On Easter I joined online and mentioned I was worshiping from Houston, TX, and you gave Houston a shot out that day. I believe you were mentioning my post. Someone on you onlkne team welcomed me. I have had people here in Houston tell me to becareful about you, and I tell them that you Steven Furtick are anointed by God. I am mature enough to know that one day you may fail me, but my faith is not in you. My faith is in Jesus Christ. I also have 2 daughters and yes it will be so horrible to lose them. Having your one and only son murder your beautiful soul of a mother. Well, that's another hurricane in itself. You said I have to give my kids to God, and I have honestly done that. My sons Trail hasn't started, I miss my mother daily, but my faith is in God. I just want you to know that for 2 months God has been speaking to me through you. Keep doing what your doing Pastor. Also, Elevation Night in Houston was awesome! There is shamless plug number 3. 😊 God bless you and your Ministry Sir
  • I took a leap of faith and moved to Kansas City, Missouri... I am busy looking for a job, and searching for a bible based church
  • @YellowDays5
    I need to give my marriage, and my marriage outcome to God. We’re separated, and I drastically want reconciliation, restoration, and my marriage (but with this time God in the middle of it), and I need to give God ALL of it. I can’t control what they do. I need to keep my faith in God and in God’s miracles, and just give it to Him
  • I surrender to God, my 10 yr old son who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. His survival rate is extremely low, about 2%. But I am believing that God will heal him. My son is going through surgery, radiation treatments and medications to help him fight this battle. But truly, I lay it all at His feet. Praying and believing in God for that 2%. Thank you for this word today. I needed it
  • @timburton6826
    I'm in a spiritual battle. My message is to encourage others to stop leading others to Christ and start showing him to them. To take on the roll of a servant just as he did. But a religious spirit is taking their ability to hear. Please pray for the small group I minister to. In Jesus name
  • My faith has been tested for the last 10 years of my life, but in the past year, the LORD has strengthened me and brought me to a new level of faith. Although I also belong to a church called The Table Dallas began also listening to these sermons 6 days a week at least. I have been through many trials, but the most difficult one was at 18 becoming sick with a TBI and being told I would never complete my degree. I am proud to say that I will be graduating in December 2023 with my degree in Neuroscience and I believe I will continue pursuing my MD in Neurosurgery and reconstructive plastics. I believe the journey the LORD has brought me on is one that would lead me to help others and give faith to those who are told that they will never reach their dream. After graduation, I want to visit Ballantyne after my graduation I believe the LORD is calling me to school in NC. While I am there I want to visit Elevation and hopefully meet both Pastor Steven and Holly Furtick because the LORD used them to not only redirect me but to strengthen my faith.
  • @CharDanner
    I surrender all my fear in Jesus name!! ❤❤❤
  • God, I surrender my RN degree, my children’s lives, my mom and brothers health, my income, marriage, my living situation, my business, every obstacle that arises.. I give it all to you and trust you to fix it. Breathe on every aspect and make my children and I the head and not the tail. Cast out anything that is standing in our way and keep your Holy Spirit within us. In Jesus mighty name, Amen!
  • This guy is the best pastor of this century.. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS 🙏🙏🙏
  • @mingyee92
    My husband said he wanted divorce and there is nothing else I can do. So now I surrender my husband and my marriage to God. It’s hard to have faith, but I commit to choosing and renewing my trust in Jesus every second of my life. To God be the glory.

  • It's October 9th 2022 today when I'm listening to this service! God knew EXACTLY what I needed to hear this morning 🙌🏻 I'm giving my house, my career and my Momma's health to God! I need a source of income coming in due to just losing my job. My house is in foreclosure and my Momma got a bad report from the doctor BUT we are believing the report of the Lord! It's seems like it's all happening at one time so I know the BLESSINGS are gonna be EPIC! I don't know how ANY of this is gonna work out BUT I do know The One who's going to work it out...JESUS!!!
  • Family reunited. My kids and grands to come home and everyone to forgive each other and be a family again. Please pray for that for me. I want them to know the Lord I love and trust. I want them to get saved and for us all to pray for one another. I love them so dearly.
  • I surrender my Husband and Marriage to God. I “Believe” He has already taken care of it, I just have to hold on to my Faith, Trust God, and Trust His timing 🙏🏼

    Pastor Furtick, I have been listening to your online sermons for about a year or so. If you are scrolling to find a negative comment, you will be disappointed. I find your sermons honest, in line with the Word and most importantly effective on reaching people like me. I am a mom of five. In 2016 my son began using drugs. As a survivor of Mental, Sexual and Physical abuse, I am here to tell you that his Addiction is my greatest heartache as a human. No one told me that the love I would feel for my children would be so intense that I would literally be paralyzed when something was threatening them. I have prayed and prayed. Once I prayed for God to give it to me instead of him. Little did I realize that I had taken on his Addiction without the drugs as it has negatively impacted every area of my life. I cannot manage it sober and I am sure I couldn't manage if I were an addict. I have remembered 2 powerful words given to me from God. One was back in 2018 when Ivan Tate came to my church. He did an alter call and initially sent me on my way after 2 words. He then called me right back and said so much. He said God knows you are hurting over precious lost things but soon it'll all go away. We'll I left my abusive marriage but my sons battle continues today. He is 21. My second word came today when I listened to your sermon. Recently, I told myself I should get used to the idea that my son may die. I thought that was what would ease my anxiety and allow me to live somewhat of a productive life when he isn't sober. Today God used you to correct me. I have done a slow quit as you stated. I want to thank you for all your sermons and making me feel human. But most of all for today. I know God was speaking to me. I hope to see you in person and your wife someday. I now reside in Vermont but who knows. God bless you and your work that you and the family do. Tracy Kouri
  • I surrender this season of homelessness along with cycles of trauma and unhealthy relationships.😭
  • @DRAMAOBSESS
    My mother is currently in the hospital fighting for her life... The doctors have given up hope on her but i want to surrender her to the Lord as he has the final say. Just as God healed Jairus's daughter I'm hoping and praying he will do the same for my mother.
