    Watching this a year after it’s preached. God makes no mistakes. I know it. Not the first sermon I’ve listened to from Steven. But it’s the first one I’ve commented on.
    I’m releasing my addiction to weed. I knew long ago it didn’t serve me and that I dulled my spirit. But I held on to it anyways. But today, it’s only been a 2days of being sober. But I’m never going to look back. I understand now that God has been patiently waiting for me to let go so he can use me for his kingdoms. On earth and in heaven. I thank this ministry in Jesus name. Amen.
    Shout out to Jesus for being way to God! Love you 🙌🏾

    Guys I just wanted to share what God has done for me. For 28 years I was a heroin and methamphetamine Junkie. I lived on the streets and hustled anything I could for dope. But God turned my life around on February 19th I will have been clean for two years. I now have my own place and am living a Godly life praise God everyday for what he does for you even when you don't even know he's doing it. God was fighting my battles before I ever knew there was a war.

      @Franszwa why would you ever want to take away from what another person believes? Some people rely on their beliefs to get through life. No matter what religion or lack of religion, why would you want to take away from others? Does it make you feel good to make others feel bad? How can you say 100% which religion is right? Obviously your just trolling, (thats why no-one responds to you) trying spread fear and doubt at a time the whole world is going through a crisis and for some reason you want to take away what is good to other people? Just because you believe different? What religion is it that you belong to that teaches you steal what is sacred to others?

      Praise the Lord, Pastor Steven! Thank you for the wonderful message. It's the second time I have watched this message. And I do forgive people who've been really mean to me when I listen to God telling me to do it through great messengers like you. But I have a problem. Even though I forgive them, when I remember it later I'm still angry. I want to take revenge, but I don't do it because then that'll majorly affect my children. I keep recalling and experiencing the same hurt and hatred they show towards me because those people keep doing mean things. Could you please tell me how God says I can permanently forgive them? I've heard that we should forgive and forget, but I forgive and forget that I forgave them and keep accusing and hating them and imagine myself avenging myself because I don't see God avenging me or at least helping them repent. I know I'm being very selfish, but these few people are the ones who destroy my peace. Could you please help me in this?

      @@beniswifty8874 It helps to not invoke the name of another god named "Amen" at the end of any prayer, as enemy forces are listening and will take advantage of any errors made in the prayer whether made out of ignorance or not. Saying "Let it be" is much safer and less risky in terms of nullifying one's prayer/request or statement. Also, "Lord" is the same as "Baal" who is a supreme pagan deity as referenced in the original Hebrew. Yahuah prefers that we call on his name instead of these vague (and useless titles like Lord God that can be attributed and referred to any of the lesser deities). The prefix "Yah" covers all the different names he may be known by such as Yahweh, Yahawa, Yahawashi, Yahoshua, which contain the same prefix for the Son. Keep growing & researching :)

      why would you ever want to take away from what another person believes? Some people rely on their beliefs to get through life. No matter what religion or lack of religion, why would you want to take away from others? Does it make you feel good to make others feel bad? How can you say 100% which religion is right? Obviously your just trolling, (thats why no-one responds to you) trying spread fear and doubt at a time the whole world is going through a crisis and for some reason you want to take away what is good to other people? Just because you believe different? What religion is it that you belong to that teaches you steal what is sacred to others?

    One of Pastor Steven’s top 10 sermons ever, I think. So powerful. So much power in this word. Here’s what I learned:
    1- God what do you want to do through the places that I’ve been hurt?
    2- Accusation, placing blame and pointing fingers KILLS. When you place blame you give power.
    3- Live by faith and not by sight, you don’t know what’s at the end of a storm.
    4- Don’t only process things at the level of our thoughts and never at the level of our spirit.
