      This was so for me! He said if you think you will never recover after a fall! I fell almost 3 years ago and have not walked since! He mentioned dry bones because of not walking I have a bone disease too! I used to be a Martial artist and professional dancer and never thought I would be in this condition. I used to teach Martial arts and when people couldn't get it I thought whats wrong with them! This message was life changing for me and I am going to watch many times until I get it through my thick head! Please tell Pastor Steven Thank you!

    “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!!

      I hate when people say just pray about it. It seems so dismissive and I have had to watch when I say pray. Because many of us are still praying and crying out to God. But be encouraged. Keep meditating on God's Word. Know that the enemy wants us to believe lies and derail our destinies. We will overcome. I say we because I am battling anxiety and the spirit of fear and have been feeling depressed even though I know God delivered once before.
      Thank God He is not like people and His love is unfailing!!!!!!

      To Glow up Blog, God bless you, you are the apple of God's eye. His name is greater than what we've been through. Have you heard of Joyce Meyer's testimony, and Paula White? They're experience is like yours. My prayer for you and for many that the Lord will continue to lead you to true ministries, people and a safe place to heal and be free. The past is like a bad dream that tries to haunt, but I was encouraged today to learn more about the power of the blood of Jesus. The safest place is in your praise. When the battle is present pull out your best praise songs and battle with your praise satan can't stand!!!! You will experience peace.

      I’m so sorry you suffered through that. I pray that the Lord supernaturally looses that trauma from your soul and subconscious, heals all of those moments in time and fills those voids where people failed you with His glory. Also professional counselors are excellent at helping you process and heal trauma. In severe cases medication can help bring relief and stability. The church means well but is usually ignorant of these matters. They will learn more one day. Love you sis 💕🙏

    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.

    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!!

    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

    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.

My husband won’t leave no matter how much I beg him to and I don’t have the means to take my two boys anywhere else, especially because my baby has special needs. I feel so stuck with no way out. And most of all I’m in so much pain because in my naive little world I NEVER thought anyone could treat me so badly for everything that goes wrong in their life. I honestly don’t comprehend it. BUT NOW I must say that although all this is going on, I know God will deliver me and watch over me. I trust in Him.

      Nicholas Loyal Hi Nicholas, I read this 10 months later. I want you to be encouraged. I am overcoming ADHD. Since I was young, I had terrible depression, now I am a lot older, I look back and and see that the Lord kept me. I was referred to this book called: You mean I'm not lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!" Their second book, 2006. Written by two women who have ADHD Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo. It was hard to read the book but I finally skipped to the part to what can I do? Things began to accelerate. There are over lapping systems you may be facing. Look up this book at Amazon to pre read and borrow from library. Chapter 4 is: I know . . .I think . . .I have ADHD: What do I do now? They describe your job as a Mental Health Consumer. I have seen so much results in online seminars and other book referrals. I will seek coaching and I want to eventually train as a coach helping others. Best wishes.

Experiencing my first anxiety attack at 16 and later the cycle of anxiety and depression untill now, this moment. I claim it, a new life where I fulfil Gods purpose because I serve a living God. I forgive those that I have been hurt by, I forgive myself. I am only a survivor because HE LIVES

      I had anxiety attacks every week for years. I lived in secret tormenting fear. It was extremely awful. I felt like noone believed me when I thought I was dying on my weekly trips to the ER. Panic and fear are so real. I didn't know who God was and that he loved me personally. Once I cried out to God and he rescued me, showed me who he is and he knows my name and he cares fir me I decided to go all in and trust the entire word. I don't understand it all but I read faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God so I constantly studied the word. I found out a lot of things, like perfect love casts out fear because fear brings torment. I asked God to help me understand perfect love because I never really felt love. He is faithful and after 7 years I am still free from those tormenting spirits of fear. Hope and faith and love in God and from God changed my entire life! I am praying you grasp the knowledge of the unrelentingly love of your daddy God and walk in faith. You are bold as a lion. Call things that be not as though they were. In Jesus name!!!!!

    I grew up in a loving family that goes to church every Sunday, I can also say that our family has been blessed with more than what we are asking. But then when I was 17, something happened that brought a terrible impact in the family. God put my family in a situation that we never thought we would one day experience. My mom got sick, we had terrible financial problems, relationship and communication among my siblings have been difficult. But then, the good God I knew when I was just a little girl at church, is the same good God that will never put me in situations he knew you will never ever conquer without him. He is the good God who sees the potential of my faith in him. Therefore, we should always put God first in everything we do, no matter what the situation is because as the bible says in Psalms 126:5, "They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy."

    I've been watching Biblical Hebrew to understand my personal attack. Not many know about this. It was covered up. Thank you for you sermon it is the start of an amazing journey. I have always been a child of God, His beautiful gift of Love is what my name means and when I unknowingly married a man in sacrifice I set my stones to be uncovered in a "magical" way. I am starting a project on Isaiah. Everything is getting in my way, it seems but God always provides. Thank you.
