Make Room For The New | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

- There are some things in our life that bring us comfort. Like a favorite old sweatshirt, a predictable meeting schedule at work or a favorite late night snack. When something new enters our lives, a new boss, a new layout in the grocery store, or a stay-at-home order that interrupts everything, it can feel very much like a threat!
Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC presents us with Leviticus 26:10 which lays out a promise of blessing and favor to the people of Israel, “You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new...”
But what does that mean? We don’t want to make room for the new, do we? The old is comfortable, the old is what we know, the old has gotten us this far and things are good...aren’t they?
In this message, Pastor Steven presents us with Bible characters like Jonah and Tabitha (a little known character with a lot to teach us) in order to help us understand that, “Our tolerance for tension will determine our potential for growth.”
We believe that through this message you will learn how to remove limiting labels in your life and reject the lies that are keeping you from fully receiving all that God has for you. Hopefully, you’ll come away with a new perspective to help you embrace what’s new as a blessing from God rather than a threat to your comfort.
Make Room For The New...now! God is doing a new thing in your life and you don’t want to be late.

Brother! You got me thru 20 months of prison in Florida! You get me thru everyday now as I have come home to nothing! I thank you and I pray that our good Lord continues to Bless you with the WORD! AMEN
You can’t receive new miracles with old mind sets! 🙌🏽

She ain't saying anything anyone does is gonna keep God from acting just that we small minded people gotta let stuff go so we have room in our minds to see and accept the NEW God has done or given
wow thank you for that simple statement
Jamie I know I tried & they turned into curses!-cuzz I mishandled them-I’m tired of counting blessings bum now using then

Crazy how foresighted this was
I just heard that. I'm like-you prayed for this?!!!
@@elevationchurch Great and powerful message that you always deliver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amen
Just found you on line last Sunday after watching my own church on line. Your intense,joyful, truthfull and motivating preaching have increased my faith 100 times fold. My husband who has refused to attend church with me before has watched multiple sermons with me since last Sunday.and you have brought us both to tears( now that is a miracle!). We are in new Brunswick, Canada. I have prayed for my dear husband for 30+ years and I believe that finding you, Pastor Steven is a answered prayer.
Hi Louise. We are so glad to hear how Pastor Steven's sermons is blessing both you and your husband. We are praying for more growth and prosperity on your marriage. So happy to have you apart of our Efam. God bless you! ^EC Team

Tehehahehe
I saw a portion of this video and made a positive comment about it on Twitter. Right away persons said that you're heretic and distorting the Word of God. I was sad and hurt. I said I was gonna watch your full sermon to confirm in my heart if you are a True Man of God. I am now very happy I watched your full sermon. 🙏❤️ You are like a Prophet and God has revealed many things to you. My heart is at harmony with you. This has really encouraged me and God wanted me to hear it! Thank you! 🎉🎉❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Idk why I’ve heard someone else say that before about him he’s my fav pastor online
The enemy is always attacking the people who do Gods work I went to a Christian rehab and the woman that owned it people are constantly saying she’s doing it for the money but I know if it wasn’t for that rehab I’d never got my life together and learned about Jesus and pastor Steven furtick has helped my faith grow so much I love that he is real and puts his own struggles out there.
I have been listening to pastor Steven for about 4 years now and he has made my faith grow and brought my daughter to God and currently teaching my granddaughter he is a blessing!!
I have been through a few different Denominations. I think the negative comments come from people who rely on a superficial and pharisiacal understanding of God's word. Elevation Church preaches from the heart. I am so glad I found these sermons. I haven't heard anything blasphemous from any of the sermons. Pastors keep it real!
My 6 year relationship has ended. I'm having a hard time letting go . The new is coming . I don't like this feeling but I trust in God . I don't wanna miss what God is going to do in this season. It hurts so much
Hang in there sister!!! (Hugz)
Thank you for your honesty. Hand the hurt over to God. I promise you He won’t disappoint you.

3 years later I'm listening to this and truly thinks it's a lesson for me.
“He’s going to use people you don’t even like to grow you up and mature you.” Ouch! That was for me. I recently started a new job, and I dislike most of the people I work with. As frustrating as this season has been, I wouldn’t wish it away. The struggle has caused me to grow and rely on God’s strength 💪🏻
Same
Hard to stay in love when people don't get us. It's are test and pray for them.
Our test is to trust him and not our ego. Love is always the answer
Jesus I’m praying for a new job lol but we’re planted for a reason and season
🙏God bless you 🙏
I have been suffering with depression and paralysing anxiety after some major changes in my life and I have been asking myself and God what the purpose is for all of this. This message gave me the realization that I have been trying to hold on to my old version of peace which no longer even exists, the wrong kind of strength and my preferences. Things I have prayed for, growth I have prayed for for years is now happening in a season of tension that is in fact inconvenient but completely necessary and I know now I need to run to God. Thank for this message. It has changed my life in one the most difficult times I've ever had. ❤
Wow thanks for sharing, Corrine! We can all relate to what you said about holding on to our old version of peace. Such a good point! Time to make room for the new! ^EC Team
🙏God bless you 🙏
I thank God for this church, these sermons, their praise and worship and all the people involved that help draw people closer to God. God bless each and every one of you for serving Him so beautifully ❤ Thank you
I suffer from the same. Whenever my anxiety is beyond my control I listen to his sermons til I come down. Remember me in your prayese
amen
Make room for the New🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
"Grace is going viral" Amen!
🙌✝️ much needed in every nation, society, work place, family...
I love your teaching style. No doubt that you can eloquently preach, but you are a theologian who can "make it plain" to teach us how to make biblical principles practical for everyday living. Some pastors are fire and brimstone pastors who push us away by preaching about a God who expects "holier than thou" religious living or else. But you teach us that God is merciful, loving, and understands our struggles. You teach us that God wants a relationship where we can be honest and vulnerable. This keeps me seeking God day after day - even when I've made a mistake.
I agree but what's up with all the hollering & yelling in the preaching ?
I adore this man's preaching style it's evolved so consistently over the years. Completely conversational with a few jokes sprinkled through like stand up to keep the audience engaged. Informative and challenging a style that presents Christianity at a logical and welcoming level. It's no wonder the church has this much success.
He certainly has gotten really good at tickling itching ears!
I completely agree!!!
He is awesome pastor he is truly man of god
I agree. I like his comfortable and casual way he brings the word. Simplicity is key.
God is my Life Day in & Day out ever Second every Minute, I wouldn’t be the person i am today with out Him !!! Amen

Make room for the new
Leviticus 26:10
God increase the quality of my problems
Bless church problems
God give me better problems
We become so attached to yesterday’s blessing we can’t get attached to today’s opportunity
The only way to grow is time under tension
We don’t wanna hear anything about God that makes us uncomfortable
Favor comes with frustration
There’s something about grace that creates tension
God is making room in your life right now through tension
We can say things with our mouth and not believe it in our hearts
Acts 11:1
God uses tension to make room for the new
Everything is moving so fast
Change shows up when it wants to show up
Acts 11:5
And it came down to where I was
Don’t chase “it” chase God
God is going to bring “it” to me
Acts 9:40
Old mindsets cannot receive new miracles
Make room for the NEW
Your mind is more crowded than your closet
God needs to make room in me
Sometimes you need to change your mind about what God can use
Can you make room for the new?
Jonah went to Joppa to run away from the Lord, Peter went to Joppa toward the Lord

Ive been feeling empty in the past 1/2 a year looking for something besides The Lord's word to fill it. Tonight I decided to click into this video that kept popping up in my suggested videos ...... I feel the emptiness filled. I felt like God has spoken through Pastor Furtick to me. It feels wonderful to know that God still Cares about me and wanna reach out to me even when I ran away.
AMAZING HOW GOD WILL USE A MAN OF GODS WORDS EVEN AFTER HE SPOKE THEM! I am listening TONIGHT & THIS MESSAGE IS AFFIRMING & CONFORMING EXACTLY WHAT I KNOW GOD IS CURRENTLY DOING IN MY LIFE..OR RATHER “ABOUT TO DO” TO ME THIS IS A MIRACLE! EVEN THE MESSAGE I RANDOMLY PICKED PRIOR TO THIS ONE, was SPOT-ON!! YOU ARE CLEARLY LISTENING TO THE HOLY SPRIT’S GUIDANCE PASTOR FURTICK! YOU SPOKE DIRECTLY TO ME WAY UP IN MINNESOTA AT 0400 IN THE MORNING & OBVIOUSLY MONTHS AGO AS CURRENTLY WE ARE NOT WORSHIPPING AT HOME AND NOT IN OUR CHURCHES! THANKS FOR BEING REAL! PROUD OF YOU!!
This one sermon, has so much in it. Powerful, had to watch more than once.
Wow what did I say he just speaks to me lord is good Steve protects you are awesome
More importantly..
."don't limit GOD by your labels.." ✝️

“Don’t limit yourself by labels” - “Don’t limit it with a label” - “Those are mental barriers” “Those are your categories not Gods” - “Stop limiting yourself with your labels!” - “Don’t be loyal to a lie” THIS IS SOOO GOOOD, SUCH A GOOD MESSAGE. This applies to my relationship, GOD is showing me the truth that me assuming isn’t the truth, GOD works in mysterious ways.

Thank you! I thought today I kept losing my faith daily, and here's my anointed word on time!!! Make room for the new, thank You Jesus!
God can be bringing you exactly what you want, but the tension of it to produce growth is so uncomfortable. ❤
So true. God bless, Pastor Steven.

Sorry pastor this is irrelevant but your jacket is amazing. I just love how young people find you easy going pastor. I know mostly like your swag-end up hearing your word. You are meant to empact the globe.!!!
Just checked out the jacket. It's pretty cool!
Pastor Steven I almost shouted when you said you bruised your heel stomping the devil's head! My mind went back to Genesis 3 when God told Satan that the seed of the woman would bruise his heel stomping the devil's head! Just remember, you may have bruised your heel, but you bruised his head in the process!!! I'd say if you walked away with a bruised heel and he walked away with a bruised head, you definitely won that fight!!!!!!
Thank you Lord for this messages bless him I need peace
Awesome! I won my fight too!
Bro. PASTOR Furtick, you are like a BIG BROTHER GOD SENTand gave back to me especially when someone Screws up, "You help me make sense of it, it's Spiritually Better". Thank You. "GOD LOVES US"👋

Minnesota I have been torn from my relationship of 20 years. It's hard to let go. I don't like this being alone, my kids are grown up and gone, I have no Family or friends up here. I tell myself, as I am in a motel, as I wait for this Carona19 to leave. I'm all alone, and right after I think it. I believe God steps in and tells me 'you're not alone, I will never leave you". This really hurts. I NEED God. Help me to get things done, to have the wisdom, bring new friends into my life to get things taken care of and live again or the Lord.
rx712a Hey I just want you to know that God loves you sooooo much. He cares about you the most. He knows your hurt and knows your worries. He feels your pain. Trust in him and make room for the new because he will flood you with blessings. He is a good Lord. I’m here for you if you ever need anything. I can be your friend if you need one.
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR COMMUNITY FOLLOWERS OR BELIEVERS.......YOU AND YOUR CONGREGATION ARE AN ABSOLUTE GRACEFUL BLESSING......I LOVE THAT YOU ACTUALLY TAKE THOROUGH LOVING APPROACH EVEN IF U SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT UR TEACHING I NOTICE YOU STILL ARENT SURE BUT YOU ASK AND LET JESUS/GOD LEAD YOURSELF AND IT OR YOUR APPROACH STILL SUCCEEDS WITHOUT THOROUGH ADO.....IF THAT MAKES SINCE I HOPE.......YOUR JUST A BLESSING AND I TRULY HOPE YOU CONTINUE YOUR AMAZING JOURNEY AND LOVE FOR CHRIST AND HIS CHILDREN. MUCHO LOVE ONLY
God's going to bring it to me. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Full notes:
Scripture for the message
- [ ] Leviticus 26:10
- [ ] The challenge is to Hold onto the old to the exclusion of receiving the new
- [ ] It’s justification by grace through faith. You see it’s not how much faith you have that saves you, it’s how much grace God has that saves you. The point is not how much faith you have, it’s who you have your faith in.
- [ ] How much should I trust God and how much should I try myself is the tension the older generations held onto. We are now creating a new way of leaning on God. Make room for the new.
- [ ] It’s easy to recognize the truth when you are not living in the tension of it. When you’re living in the tension, you loose sight of the truth. In the midst of great tension, a great truth can be shown.
-truth 1: Your tolerance for tension determines your potential for growth. We don’t like tension when it comes to Christianity. To sit in the tension of what God actually said as opposed to the tradition of we heard God say through the filter or personal preference and prejudice is gift of tension.
- [ ] Time under tension is the formula for growth. The very things we want to see are the very things we want to run from in our lives. We want to see it but not go through it ourselves or experience it. What makes for a good tv show us the kind of stuff we try and prey away in our lives. In the midst of great tension, a great truth can be shown.
- [ ] God increase the quality of my problems. I want higher quality problems. Don’t ask God to take your problems away. God is not interested in changing your circumstances as much as He is changing your heart. Once He changes your heart, by default your perspective on that situation changes and you know you’ve already overcome and are fighting from victory and not for victory. Some of the things that came into my life one season as a problem and opposition, where the things that God used to create opportunity for me to know him and make him know. It’d crazy how levictious (old covenant that was right before God through works) can be interpreted as either a blessing or inconvenience.
- [ ] Old covenant established through obedience and works. It was still grace but Grace measured out through behavior.
- [ ] New covenant established through the blood of Jesus. Through grace, by faith in Jesus. We are no longer under the old covenant contract. I don’t want God to relate to me on the basis of my works or what my lifestyle would merit.
- [ ] We progressed from the old covenant to the new covenant in the Bible.
- [ ] In the midst of great tension, a great truth be shown.
- [ ] When you are protecting the old, what’s new looks like a threat (protecting old covenant and the new covenant look like a threat.. but it’s not a threat, it’s a promise. It’s not a threat, it’s a blessing. They were threatened by the blessing Bc they didn’t recognize it and it didn’t remind them on what they were used to in their religious routine”.
- [ ] Are you threatened by your very own blessing?
- [ ] Sometimes God can be giving you exactly what you want but the tension that is required to produce the growth can be very uncomfortable. You NEED to learn how to bring GOD into the tension.
- [ ] truth 2: just remember that by that standard, you wouldn’t be here either (20 mins)
- [ ] When you are positioning yourself according the peace and purpose of God and when you are present In The situation where He has placed you, all of the thing other people run after, GOD IS GOING TO BRING IT TO YOU (21:19).
- [ ] This is the covenant of grace. I tried to get to God, I couldn’t.. so he ripped open heaven and stepped down to come inside of me so that the righteous requires of the law (21:47).
- [ ] Peter wasn’t looking for the vision, God brought it to Him.
- [ ] YAPPA- where God takes the wrong material. Paul demonstrated great power in yappa. A place where you don’t expect anything great to happen but it does. A place where God puts stuff together. Who else went to yappa in the Bible? Jonah. Jonah ran away from the lord, he went down to yappa. He resisted what he did not understand or no frame of reference for or conceptualized. He went to yappa to board a ship to run away from the Lord. Will you be like PETER to make room for something new, believe that he can break a barrier in your mind and go with it or like JONAH who ran from it.
- [ ] Paul said to Tabitha...get up and We can have a funeral or we can have a redirection. With the little girl he healed, Jesus sent everyone out of the room because he knew that if they stayed that their doubt might make it impossible for faith to really do what faith can do when it’s not accompanied by doubt. Make room for the new. Paul imitated his master and since his spirit lives in paul, faith worked. Make room for resurrection, for things in your life that you were just about to bury to breath again. Tabitha got up.
- [ ] Make room for the new: It’s not about closet space or clearing out your closet, it’s about the transformation of your mind. Do you have room for the new in your mind?
- [ ] When God shows us something we compare it to our previous source of reference. If you are not ready for new relationships, you will bring the same patterns to the new relationships that you brought to the old relationships. We keep people out of our lives that God wants to send because we are holding onto the hurt from the ones who have already left.
- [ ] DARE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS MAKING ROOM FOR THE NEW IN YOUR LIFE.
- [ ] You aren’t losing things in your life, God is moving it. Move it out God. Anything that’s in the way me being who I need to be in this season. Get it out of my heart, mind, habits. Get it out God. I don’t want it. I want, what you want. You can’t receive new miracles with old mindsets. How can we make room for the new? Empty yourself, humbling yourself and asking God what do you want to do in my YAPPA or you can run from it and resist it (not the same as taking no thought aka resisting it because we are to do that.. it’s just a saying) like JONAH did.
- [ ] What you do with it becomes your yappa which determines if you run from Gods purpose or towards it.
- [ ] How can we protect what we loved while we embrace what is new.
- [ ] 1. Don’t limit yourself by labels- What you do with your situations becomes your yappa which determines if you run from Gods purpose or towards it. Don’t limit it with a label. Get up peter and kill and eat. He was trying to kill Peters categories (mental barriers). Kill my categories God. Romans 8:28- It’s going to fulfill his purpose not my preference. It’s Gods job to know what GOOD is because that’s what is going to bring him glory, what experience I need to get. TRUTH 3: Stop limiting God with your labels. Don’t limit your life and what God can do through you by labels. There’s a lot more to me than what’s going on in a certain part of my life. Do not limit me. Do not limit God. (I’m white but I’m not only white, don’t pre judge me based on something I had no control over. I want you to get to know my character and see the God in me.. so don’t pre judge me). Are they insulting you or is God using them to instruct you?
- [ ] 2. Don’t be loyal to lie- make room for the room in YOU. Don’t run from yourself, sometimes the environment is not the issue. A lie is familiar, don’t miss what God is bringing to us by faith just because you don’t like how it feels.
- [ ] 3. Don’t be late- have no hesitation about going. If you hold onto what’s old, what you thoughts, what you wanted, etc....you might miss today’s miracle trying to hold onto yesterday’s blessing. What are you holding that’s old that’s keeping you from receiving what’s new and what’s NOW. It’s not that the old was bad, but it’s that the NEW IS HERE. A new season, a new covenant, a new day... don’t be destabilized in life. God gives us the tensions to see what we will do in YAPPA. Run from God or RUN to GOD. In a psychological and spiritually sense.
- [ ] GODS BLESSINGS don’t check your schedule to see if it’s a convenient time. You have to learn to Multitask your miracles. Keep giving. Keep going. Keep trusting and keep believing by faith. If you don’t, you’re going to miss today’s opportunities Bc you are too attached to yesterday’s blessings.
- [ ] A change of mind makes room for the new. New way of thinking. The old way is the old way. That’s not how you do it anymore. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone the new has come. There’s a new way to live, to love, to serve (a way that seems upside down but it’s actually right-side up). If you’ll make room the new, you’ll still be eating last years harvest when you’ll have to move it out.
- [ ] You don’t have to earn acceptance before God and stay stuck in performance. That’s the old way of thinking, doing, and copping. You already have acceptance, righteousness and forgiveness before God through grace because of your faith in Jesus.
- [ ] We will never truly know the power of this moment until it’s over. We will never fully understand the purpose of this season until we are on the next one.
Waw! Thanks
Thankyou for this! 💯 God bless You ❤️
this is amaazzzing thank you
God bless you
Adah binti absolutely 💜
I have witnessed this in my Son's life the past year. It has been truly amazing to see the blessings bestowed upon him and his new wife (yes she is one of them!) He has given his life completely to God and is finding his purpose in ministry. Seeking God's purpose and will and it is all coming to pass. It has been a great witness to not only me, but my father as well!
jesus loves you!
Since I discovered this Pastor on CZcams, I can't stop watching. I am inspired and motivated. The messages are directed at me.
This is for me….. move it out Lord… I want what you got… in with the New
Since the covid 19 started, the work load got more intense, my co worker was watching you on Easter and I've been hooked ever since. Absolutely love how you share the gospel!!! May God keep blessing you while you bless and teacher us!!! Thank you
You didnt lose it, God moved it ❤

🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️Steven's messages are mind blowing🤯literally like everything he's saying, even at the moment he says it, it's like he's reading my mind, Crazy🤪"You can't receive New Miracles with old mindsets" that doesn't mean having a yard sale, it's not about closet space, don't limit yourself with labels, all so insightful, dont limit it with a label, Great stuff😍You never know if when you are just doing what you are supposed to be doing where you are supposed to be doing it....a miracle, your miracle could happen..when God sends us an opportunity, will we go with it or run from it, This is such a Great message, love it so much💜💜😁😁

Ever since I first saw a clip of one of Pastor Steven Furtick's sermons...i have gained a whole new perspective on the Word. Your messages speak directly to me & are so relatable to all ages.. ethnicities...& so very powerful. Your sermons have & continue to get me through very trying times in my life & although I'm in the Caribbean...I go to church every Sunday morning at Elevation Church online & listen to your sermons every day of the week. Thank you for helping me get closer to God & forever helping me increase my faith.
“It’s going to fulfill his purpose, not my preference “ wooooow 🙏🏼 🔥
Just heard him say that. Awesome 🔥🙌🏾💜
Crystal Mullen 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Eppppppp
Pastor Furtick asked God for "higher quality problems" a week before quarantine. God answered that prayer!
Amen Pastor Steven, you minister to us very clearly you always reach me in your preaching, Thank you so much, God bless you in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏🛐💔
Me and Miley, my dog went to Taco Bell for dinner (Drive Thru) and listened to this message. I could feel how sincere your Spirit was and man where you Spot On. The harvest isn’t want changes, it’s the seasons that do. Sorrow, fear, rejection, depression, setbacks, and the list goes on.... Last for a while but the Joy that comes afterwards... Is like nothing ever imagined before. We say Yes Lord, have Your Way. Open our Hearts to a deeper level that has not been known of You yet God. Deeper and solid respectful relationships. Amen
Nate Griffith amen too. God bless ya and have a great week
You too Roland!
"Your tolerance for tension determines your potential for growth." Dang. That's a word for all the years of life.
What's your Joppa?
"Stop holding onto the hurts of the ones who already left!" Move whatever out of your life to make room for the new. God wants to give it to you when you let go.
Thank you to all who made this possible, for being available to send this lesson to me. And for God to get the glory. Thank you.
Amenn....God will use us in the most unexpected wayss...
Yes...I'm still holding on to hurts from the past from people who are now gone. Stupid me.
WOW!! I love it when the Holy Spirit leads me to the answer I am seeking!! This video hit home!!
Thank you God for this word
God is bringing to me 🙌🏽🔥
I keep replaying starting at the 30 min mark and i can't stop crying. Thank you God for speaking through your man of God!!!!!
amen
God is never late. "New" describes His promises for me 🙌🏽
The first time I heard this message was earlier this year in January, when I was fasting and I asked God to give me a prophetic word for 2021. I heard "Make room for the new" in my spirit, so I decided to search youtube to see if there was a sermon and this came up. Fast forward to now I was praying for another prophetic word for 2022 and I felt led to revisit this sermon and cross check if there was a fruition of this word in my life this year and indeed there was. Thank you to everyone at elevation who made this message here possible, you are very much appreciated.
Ya, every church seems 2 b havin e same vision...revival, reconcilation, restoration, renewal...
Thank You Lord...help me to let go of what is old to make room for the new Jesus...I thank You that You are doing something new in my life right now..in Jesus Mighty Name Amen and Amen ✝️
Deborah Spirk-Lawes amen. God bless ya and have a great week
@@rolandstubenrauch5173 thank you, you have a blessed week as well! Service really blessed me, as I hope it blessed you! ✝️
Lovee this prayer! ^EC Team
It’s pretty crazy how this is applying to right now more than ever! You prayed for higher quality problems! We got them! God IS MAKING opportunities to know him and Make Him Known! All this that is going on is 100% a blessing and an inconvenience!
Anddddd the fact that this sermon was right before things went down! God is RIGHT ON TIME!
Amen I am ready for the new in Jesus name I pray amen and amen 🙏
Make room for resurrection. Something you were just about ready to bury but let it breathe again. 🥰
Jesus, my heart 😭❤
When others see a shepherd boy, God may see a King!!! Hallelujah
Steven. While in my secret place I was begging God for a clear answer about something that I have been holding onto but scared to give up. This was the message I watched 5 minutes later and the Spirit moved in a way that was one of those times like "YES God I hear you".
I understand the pressure of speaking and walking away thinking that I should have said this or that or should not have said this or that. But today I want to encourage you that this message if not for anyone else was made specifically for me to deliver me out of bondage. Thank you more than you know.
Pastor Steven moving to Raleigh Durham! Tolerance and Tension in the Holy Spirit looks like Grace, Mercy, and Victory! ....for my Yoke is EZ! Power in the Blood, read the red and pray for the Power! #DontPrayHard #IAM #LoveDestroysFear #SetYourMind #KillMyWeirdCategories
Don't be loyal to a lie, of all the things I could cling to in this sermon I chose this. But I needed it all. Thank you Father. Jesus 🙏
Forget the labels, wear them like a badge of honor!!!
I’ve been holding on to what I experienced with my ex boyfriend blaming myself for all the chances I forgave him only for him to leave me but thank you for this message. It really spoke to me that i need to make room for the new and that starts with my mindset.
I feel the same about my ex girlfriend. I saw this video I've beening hurting myself by holding her and I pictures . I don't hate her at all and may God Bless her yet I was hurt looking for answers why was my heartbroken and I feel pain. But I realized The Love and Grace Of God Is Bigger and Better . You can do the same letting the old go because Jesus Christ has so much more for you and for all . Take care and God Bless.
You all didnt lose it but God in His mercy had move it so tat u can move on 2 a better life, better future...
Oh my God haha 👏👏👏👏I love the smashing pumpkins haha and now love this guy 100xs more 😂😂😂🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
Maybe it's my time to make to make space for the new. Thanks brother. Gavin from south Africa 🇿🇦
