  • Sometimes, it’s easier to run towards God’s will then it is to run from it.

    This was too accurate. I’ve watched it before in the same situation and completely missed the meaning because I was tryna get out of the whale God provided for me so I could go back to my earthly wants and desires. This time it was so literal to my situation. Giving me direct answers to prayers and questions I’ve been asking God. Pastor Steven, God is using you in supernatural ways in my messy life that I’m trying to figure out. You are literally a Godsend.

    I lost my mind two years ago. I had a psychotic break and I ended up in a mental health Ward in another county. I came to myself in the hospital. I had an open vision about my family. Everybody in different ways. I saw my Mom and Dad and my brother who passed away a few years ago, in different forms. It's like they we're resurrected to get a chance to make it right. I apologized for not being there for my mom.

    Good morning Brother Furtick.......timing for this sermon is 💯💯💯💯 on target for me!! I need to learn the swipe delete not just in my phone either. I’ve been beat down to nothing and rescued by God several times, I was in a situation that was life and death for me, when God rescued me he put me in a completely different zip code 8 hours away. Because I finally realized that I was in a life and death situation, I’m not talking just physically and mentally, spiritually I was dying, no hope, faith, I was nothing......but because of Him and the little speck of faith I had, I stopped and I listened; what I heard was this, if you could see yourself through My eyes you would see how much more you are than the situation I’m trying to remove you from. He is awesome all day and every day!!!! I’m not perfect, but in my Father’s eyes I am imperfectly perfect and He loves me just the way I am!!! He sees me, and He knows me. ✌🏼💕🤗💕✌🏼💕🤗
