People don’t always see who you really are. In fact, they’re quick to slap a label on you. In “I’m Not What I Thought,” Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church reminds us that we’re more than we thought – we’re who God says we are.

  • I am NOT my eating disorder, my OCD, or my anxiety or depression. In the name of Jesus. I am His daughter
  • I am NOT AN ADDICT NO MORE I have been freed, redeemed n Gods child!!!❤❤❤
  • @emtpmissyems991
    HOLD THAT THOUGHT! It's 2024, AMEN! This is for me! ✝🙏
  • It’s a miracle I am here after being hit by a semi truck on Valentine’s Day and losing my fiancé and becoming handicapped… Thank you 🙏 God for me being your miracle
  • That quote is really helping me, " I'm not depressed, i just deal with depression" Amen 🙏. I rebuke any depression in the name of Jesus.
  • This hit me so hard. I've been struggling with a women's health issue for years where I'm literally bleeding internally just like the woman in the story. It's taken over my life and become my identity. I went to a specialist today and got really tough news. When I was making dinner tonight, I was going to watch Netflix, but felt a pull to watch a sermon instead. I went on Elevation's Youtube channel and just had this feeling that I needed to watch this one. Wow, if this isn't my story, I don't what is. When he started talking about being a daughter, I just broke down in tears. When I heard my name at the end of the sermon, I started bawling even more. This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much Steven & Elevation church for putting this together & sharing it virtually. God used it to speak to me through my computer at dinner time. It was beautiful & I needed it more than anything. Thank you!!
  • The woman with the issue of blood, and I, have MUCH in common. I know I am not what I thought. And received Jesus today. Thank you for all you do!
  • @oliviaezeobi606
    I listened to this message now more than a year after it originally aired, and it was a Rhema word from God for me. Thank you so much for this. Thank you Pastor Steven for your obedience to God and for sharing this. At the 45 min point of this sermon, when you started talking about Jesus calling her "daughter", I just started crying. Thank you for reminding ME that I am God's daughter. I can hold my head high, because He is the lifter of my head, and He loves me. I also laughed when you spoke about Abby, and how you treat her differently - I am the only daughter, have two brothers, and I was definitely a daddy's girl - I KNEW I was his favourite (though parents shouldn't have favourites, I know). My father passed away in 2014 and I miss him so much. I think of what my earthly father would have done for me, how he loved me, and I know that my Heavenly Father loves me infinitely more and He reminded me today, through you Pastor Steven, that I am His daughter.

    I am not what I thought, I am not what people say I am, I am not my depression, I am not my anxiety, and I am not my past. I AM THE DAUGHTER OF AN ALMIGHTY KING 🙌🏽 THANK YOU JESUS FOR BEING MY FATHER 🙏🏽❤️
  • @trishaanne5228
    Hi. I'm Trisha. I'm a sinner and I'm condemned by my church. I'm blessed with the story of the "daughter" because I have always identified myself as my issue. Today, God revealed to me that I am not who I thought I was. I cried as I heard Him calling me "daughter." Never would I listen to anybody calling me names but listen to how Jesus call me by my name. I'm Trisha and I'm the daughter of the Most High God! Your ministry has reached me in the Philippines. Thank you for making me feel belonged and loved.
  • Lord cure all thee homeless people and those who are addicted those who are sick in Jesus name amen hallelujah hallelujah glory to God 🙏
  • @mich19348
    This is my favorite sermon..I remember listening to this while driving to work, then totally losing it. He renamed her, gave her a new identity, moved her from a place of shame to a place of honor, Jesus called her daughter. It was this moment. I realized and accepted that I am His daughter, he loves me.
  • For someone who was sick for 12 years, who had internal bleeding and who almost died multiple times. This story was something I kept close. The healing and believing. I can say Jesus is king. He has saved me and made me healthy. He is everything.
  • @AshleyMadalyn
    I received Jesus Christ <3 I cried through this entire sermon. God is so good!
  • @jacinta5695
    I gave my life to Jesus at 16 years and since then I earned a name “rebel”. Getting married to my Kingdom Husband broke some generational curses but earned me rejection and isolation. Running my business earned me so many other negative names. But this last season washed away everything completely! Putting myself in the path of God. This sermon is so awesome! My thinking changed 24 hours ago and listening to this 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾Thank you Jesus
  • I received Jesus Christ and I am not what I thought I was. I was sat down and locked up from my addiction to meth for 5 months. I choose to use that time to get my heart and head right and get back in tune with God and I was released from jail with absolutely nothing now here I am almost 8 months clean and sober and have been blessed with loving supportive family who took me in and believed that I could change and gave me a chance just like God gave me a chance. I am blessed with a great job in which I am training to become manager and I have been blessed to buy me a car and I will be 8 months sober on the 8 th of this month. All those who know me are in shock because I am not who they thought I once was!! Amen to God. And let me say this: The come back is always greater than the set back!! Amen! All praise and glory to God!
  • Man, everytime I'm feeling low Pastor Steven always has a sermon that speaks directly to how I've been feeling. God is so good.
  • @_andyofficial
    I bawled my eyes out through this entire sermon, this message stirred up something in me I've never felt before. I grew up being abused, surrounded by alcoholism and drug addiction, I've experienced so much pain, but that is all it is: an experience, I'm not what I thought. I belong to Lord Jesus Christ and I am who He says I am.
