    If you rearrange the letters in “depression” you get “I pressed on.” Don’t ever give up. Your breakthrough is almost here.

    To you reading this right now... your breakthrough is coming. God hears you and will bring you your healing miracle very soon! Be still and know that God will lead you through all this.
    Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we’re settling for.

    Thank you Jesus for this man of God. I've been watching your sermons for a few weeks now. And let me tell you everyone I came across i needed to hear. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and sever panic attacks. I have 5 tumors that make it all worse. One is on my brain and the problems it's causing with my health is really bad. The headaches is way beyond the 10 level. I see a brain and spine surgeon next month. I have 3 tumors on my spine and 1 on my right adrenal gland. Those are hurting me and causing major problems with how my brain works. All this has been eating me up inside all year. I decided to get all new doctors this year because my old doctors didn't want to help me in the way I need help. So I put it in God's hands to send me to the right doctors to help me. Pray for me. I give God all the glory. Amen and again I say Amen!

    I was doubting God, when I saw this sermon, no way this is a coincidence, I believe it's God's doing. I was asking these questions" If he's in control why are all these things happening" but I'm better informed to ask a good question and not otherwise. I pray that the Lord enables whoever is hearing or has heard this sermon to not let his or mind make him or her feel like nothing, you are valued by God that's why he paid the price for your sins, he won't do that for someone without value. God bless you 🙏

    Sermon Notes
    Sermon title: R U N CTRL? (are you in control?)
    ⁃ God is always in control, but he doesn’t always take control
    ⁃ Philippians 1:12-25
    ⁃ Exodus 4:1
    ⁃ “What if they?” Is a bad question
    ⁃ “What is that?”
    ⁃ God says I have given you “that,” no matter what “they” say or do
    ⁃ What does it matter? What does it mean? What shall I chose?
    ⁃ God doesn’t control everything, he gives you a choice
    ⁃ Your questions direct the integrity of your thoughts
    ⁃ Decide your distractions
    ⁃ It takes you a while to figure out what matters
    ⁃ Not every disruption is a distraction
    ⁃ Genesis 18:14
    ⁃ Who put it here isn’t as important as to why it was put here
    ⁃ If the devil can’t distract you, he’ll discourage you
    ⁃ 1 Kings 19:13
    ⁃ Focusing on what is broken will never set you free
    Hey guys hope this was helpful! If any of you have any prayer requests, feel free to let me know in the comments, anyway Godbless! 🧡

    Whatever Satan does to try to destroy you with God will ALWAYS turn around for His glory -- timing is everything. -- I have found out Jesus 99% of the time answers completely different than we pray. But He will answer if we endure the race. Think about what you're thinking about. Negative from Satan. Positive from God. Hang on everybody. It's well worth the ride Pastor Steven keep it coming. you have been a counselor when I couldn't afford one. Keep it real. Thank you so much for the blessing you /your church are ❤

    When I was a little girl I was sexually abused. As and adult I have allowed the pain, panic, and fear to consume me. These past three weeks I was in the darkest spot of my life. This sermon was life changing for me. I’ve been crying out to God ... but asking the wrong questions. I am ready to persevere and find my purpose. I do matter to Jesus. My life is important. Thank you God for loving me. I will continue to push and try to find my purpose.

    I woke up having a panic attack, tears streaming down my face, and I asked God to please take it away. Take away the pain and the fear. I asked God to speak to me, and I decided to put on a church sermon to hear from God instead of a TV show to drown out my fears. It goes without saying that God spoke to me and gave me peace. Instead of asking God to take away my pain and fear, I'm asking God to grow me through it, knowing that God has the power to heal me, but has decided instead to teach me.

      True. But when someone "takes out their pain" on others (for whatever reason)...are they not causing pain to another person? Disregarding another by telling them not to " take it personal" is hardly an answer. Each situation is different. For those who choose to use their pain as a way to justify acting with hatred and malice, they should not be surprised if they are treated in like manner.
      Even if just rebuked. As Jesus did rebuke his adversaries..and at times even His Own.
      However, if one is truly a child of Yahweh then they Will be corrected by Him...if they are not, then they are bastards and not true sons and daughters of Christ. If one is in Christ then they should have self control..This does not mean they have to trust or even associate with someone who is continually causing them pain.

Over the last couple of months our new business has struggled beyond belief and I was so so close to divorcing my husband because I selfishly thought he was supposed to make me happy….I was overwhelmed by stress on angles and then I was reminded only God can make my happy! On May 18th at 2:02 in the morning GOD WOKE ME UP!! I rededicated my life right there, just me and God. I know God has a purpose for all the pain and I know He wants to use my story for His glory. Satan has tried to tell me “Oh but your not ready yet. Wait a little while and make sure this sticks before you tell someone.” Right now in this moment I am refusing to believe this lie!!! When Jesus called the disciplines it says they immediately stopped what they were doing and followed Him. They didn’t wait till they were ready, God made them ready! I have struggled with fear and anxiety my whole life but I refuse to be controlled by it or what other people may think. I will never be good enough…but my God is and HE matters!! Thank you for this message 🙏

      I'm glad you came back to Jesus. And I can tell you from my own life I know what it is to lose a child, it's tough but God is greater than the heartbreak. Now after 17 years God has used my heartbreak to love others going through this loss. He gave me understanding to understand what others are facing.

Every single moment I stand before a challenge - you share a Word that is SO spot on, right from God at the exact right time! May He take you from strength to strength to continue help people like me grow strong in Him. To God be the glory!

    I never leave comments on CZcams pages, mostly because I know it’ll never been seen. However, this Sermon pulled my heart right outta my chest and pumped it back to life again. Theses last few years have been tough.
    Divorce, moving states, new job, single mom, in and out of horrible relationships. Saturday was my breaking point. Saturday was the day I finally lost all hope and tried to take my life. Luckily I wasn’t successful. Part of me feels like I didn’t take enough pills on purpose, knowing it wouldn’t be enough to take me out but at least enough to knock me out for some time. Waking up was hard. I’ve never felt so lost, confused, angry and sad in my whole life. Today wasn’t much better. Slept 90% of the day and when I was awake I just cried uncontrollably. I’ve been watching Furtick for over a year now but lately I’ve been skipping past his videos, just not wanting to hear all the “God talk” Today though, God left me no choice. I opened my app and this video started playing right away, without hesitation. I stopped and listened. Steven, thank you for what you do. It’s people like you who give people like us hope and strength to some how keep going. Thank you. Thank you for saving me. Thank you♥️

      Hi there,
      The Sabbath was "sanctified" or "קָדַשׁ" which means to set apart for holy use Gen 2:3 "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it..." (KJV), and thus Adam and Eve kept it holy. Infact, sin is defined as transgressing or breaking any of the 10 commandments as per 1 Jo 3:4 "..sin is the transgression of the law." (KJV). So, when Satan sinned, he actually broke the 10 commandments for indeed angels also have to keep them in heaven Psa 103:20 "Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments..."(KJV). Infact, the saints, described as those that "..keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Rev 14:12, KJV) will keep the 10 Commandments in the new heavens and the new earth including keeping the Sabbath holy by e.g gathering to worship the LORD as per:
      Isa 66:22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make...it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." (KJV).
      Hebrews 4:9 "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." (KJV) The word 'rest' is translated from the ancient or traditional Greek Manuscript word 'σαββατισμός'
      (Sabbatismos) - A Sabbath, Rest. The 7th day Sabbath still stands active today for GOD'S people.
      I am not going to force you to keep Shabbat holy (I encourage to do a study on this matter) but if you end up coming short in the end, remember that the LORD did reach out to you using me.
      Heb 4:1 "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." (KJV). I digress.
      * Food shortage will lead to a civil war in America.
      * Climate change will lead to Sun-day laws.
      GOD Bless

    You ministered to my soul. As I have been struggling with worry ( what if ??? ) you said it word for word. I was making breakfast (in my robe). My hours at work ( two jobs) have been cut. I woke up in the (middle of the night) with overwhelming feelings of why ? With my adult kids ( relationships) from a divorce, that was not my decision, but I feel I'm getting the wrath of it all 😢 my favorite verse is Phil 4:7, which I prayed and cried out to God last night, saying you are bigger than my kids, my job and all the WHAT IFS ??? In my mind, right now. Take this feeling of overwhelming circumstances that the enemy is placing in my mind/ thoughts! I decided to prop my phone up while making breakfast to listen to your sermon, I'm so grateful I did... as I feel God was speaking to me through you... like you could see me and feel my pain. If you could please keep me in prayers for restoration with grown kids, I would appreciate it much. And, if you have any advice for me as a mother that raised her 3 kids in the church, to know God and his love. Thank you again for the blessing you gave me today. Sincerely, Sue Falero

And didn't have all the answers we needed anyway,,the hand of Our Heavenly Father says YOU AGAIN??WHEN WILL U REMEMBER TALK TO ME FIRST,pretty quickly that branch wasn't so far from the ground we were afraid...let God be there,hold His hand in prayer,pray out loud,He knows what u are going to say before u do,but likes to HEAR from His Creation ALL THE,NOT JUST WE ARE OUT ON A LIMB..GOD BLESS OUR NATION,WEVE BEEN WITHOUT HIM,DUE OUR OWN CHOOSING WAY TOO LONG..THANK ALL WHO READ THIS...I AM 82 AND HAVE A GREAT MEMORY OF THE TIMES GOD TOOK PITY ON ME..

    This shifted my focus. I was asking the question, "what is wrong with me?" for so long. Now I'm asking, "Lord, why is the enemy so intimidated by me, what purpose and plan have You placed on my life, that he feels the need to convince me that there is something wrong with me?" The devil doesn't want you to know that what is in you is so much greater than what is against you.

    This message is literally what God has been trying to communicate to me during this time in my life. Specifically today, before I even watched this sermon, I was asking God questions about the certain state that I am in in my life and what I should do next and how I should move on in order to elevate and prosper to the next level in my life. The word "FOCUS" just kept coming to my mind. Something so simple yet so powerful. Watching you teach this sermon tonight was confirmation that God was speaking directly to me telling me to focus on what really matters right here and right now in this very moment in my life and to focus on the things that I can control. Thank you again Pastor Furtick for teaching yet another powerful and heart felt sermon. I look forward to hearing the rest of this series! God Bless you & your family!🙏🏽💛

      Yes God has a lesson for each season once you pay attention you will see that in every test God is using it for your good and turning it around but he won’t let you walk out a season without the value of your situation pumped into your head and strength. The testing of your faith makes you stronger during seasons and it will connect with the better questions and bigger trust And humbleness in the next season. God won’t let you walk out of a test without having value over your situation. Things that make satan so angry lol God is so awesome and good he literally allows us to show satan no matter how much he tries we are smarter stronger and CHOSEN!!!! Hallelujah!
