    It takes faith to pray for Peter when they just lost James, and to always remember how peter was able to sleep because he saw in his spirit how Jesus slept through a storm . God is saying , “ I can do a lot more while you sleep , than you can while you are straining “ RIP , rest is powerful.
    Thank you pastor Steven furtick for teaching us to be obedient to God’s word by giving up on anxiety and changing our mindset by finding freedom in obedience. Through you Jesus is touching hearts and lives across the world. I write to you from Bangalore , India and I have been listening to you preach since the year 2016. Listening to you preach makes Roman 12:2 , take root in my mind and heart.

    I needed this, I will continue to knock. My daughter passed suddenly at 8 months during a nap on 7/31/17. I had a son a year later (not planned on) on 7/31/18. I named him Gabriel after the angel. He was born with a almost fatal lung disease that most babies don’t make it past they’re first year of life. The disease is called ABCA3. He is 17 months now but he is on a breathing machine at home 24/7, feeding tube, and monitor 24/7, but he is extremely active like a normal 1 year old, which isn’t common. I’ve been to ICU with him over 15 times. We found out the disease is genetic and 1 out of 4 babies could have this if we have more. It’s been extremely difficult since my daughter passed and I miss her sooo much. And now my baby needs a miracle, and we would love to have a daughter again. I will keep knocking. My prayer targets are for my PTSD and anxiety to go away. That Gabriel will be one of the successful cases and ween off of oxygen. That my heart will heal and that we could have at least 1 more daughter, one day when Gabriel is stable. And that our 4 year olds fears of his brother going to heaven like his sissy will go away. Side note Gia Marie would have been 3 on December 2. 🙏🏼👼🏻💕

    Day 92 !
    Sometimes when we think devil is knocking to destroy us it's actually God who is knocking to develop us.
    We need faith to dress up and go without knowing the destination.
    Desparate people have different knocks.
    Sometimes we have to sleep in betweens.

    I need to thank you from the very bottom of my heart ... My husband passed away awhile ago .. I had three elementary/middle school aged children and probably cried everyday for three years. I had no peace at that time ...Last week I found an apple sized tumor on my blind dog ( it was under her long hair) AND found out I’m losing my townhouse all in the same day. I’ve lived there for 16 years. I don’t know where I’m going or how I’m going to get there. But I have a peace that I never had after Mike passed away.. This message came on the most PERFECT day .... I know that peace is God and I know he sent me this message at exactly the perfect time! Thank you more then I can say !! It’s reminded me how mighty God is !!

    When my daughter passed away. Prayed to God not to let me forget Him because I was only a newborn in Christ. I was Saved 7 months. She passed away on a Friday and I new I had to go to church that Sunday because I knew if I didn’t I just might walk away.
    Then God kept knocking until I wrote the book God wanted me to write.
    When I finally finish writing my book. God knocked again to get me to start speaking. I had to do what God want otherwise He will move on to the next person.

    God knocked on my door for several years, after I drifted away from spending much time with Him. God got my attention by putting a few special Christians in my life this year. Physical problems has kept me away from church for many years, so God came to me through these two beautiful souls. I was up all night, yet another night, and there was Pastor Steve on TV preaching. I have tried televised services, but never really connected spiritually with the other ministers. Pastor Steve caught my attention. I hung onto every word. I wrote down the church's name, and his, Googled him, then searched CZcams. I listen to at least 2 different sermons a week, and .ore than once. Pastor Steve, if you hear about this, you knocked at my door tonight. It's the middle of another sleepless night, but I heard God through you. I have about given up on having my health restored. I guess I am afraid that something else will go wrong, and I didn't want to get my hopes up again for a big let down, yet again. I so want to meet a group of true Christian friends, not Sunday Christians. Do I dare hope that I can fall in love again, and not have to live my life alone, for the rest of my life? I have to believe that God really does want me to be happy, and risk getting myself back in church, as soon as I physically am able. In the meantime, Elevation is my church. I always hear God through Pastor Steve. God bless you Pastor, and every single person who heard your words, spoken for God. I realized tonight, God doesn't want me to be isolated and alone. I am up, and waiting for God, or whatever challenge is next, because I will be ok. Cynthia Senger

    Thank you Jesus for sending this message to me today...
    I have been in and out active addiction for the past 25/30 years. I am newly sober from drugs yet again. There is a lot of people in my life just sitting around waiting for the bottom to fall out yet again. And usually I'm sitting right there with them. But...
    This Time I'm not. This Time I'm sitting in the presence of the Lord waiting to see what
    His Will is for me! This Time is the first & only time I have ever put God first in my recovery or in my life at all. So when I tell you that it is making a major difference This Time! I mean it & believe it w/my whole heart. You see in just in the short time that it's been that
    I have turned My Will and My life over to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ He as done soooooo much for me already.
    And there has great change in many aspects of my life. The change has seemed to be fairly quick and easy for me so far. But... this past week I have noticed a bit of a slow down ya some bumps in tha road if u willl. And I have been praying asking knocking wanting to hear from God about what I need to do next. I'm currently staying with my ex-husband and his girlfriend in Kentucky where I went to a faith based treatment program simple because I know how the story ends for me if I go back to my home in East Tennessee cause I'm scared to be around the same old people & places where my addiction loves to play! So when I scrolling thru tryin to decide what sermon I wanted to listen to today because I really haven't heard one from Pastor Furtick that I didn't like or couldn't apply to my life in some way. (which btw makes it kinda hard to choose sometime)
    Anyway as I was scrolling I heard God say knock knock listen to that one that's the one you need to hear today! Like I was saying before this week I've been praying about what to do next. Weighing my options on going home. We're taking an opportunity the leap of faith if you will and moving to a faith-based sober living place in Fort Lauderdale Florida where I have already secured a job in an office full of faith-based recovery people. Which all sounds really great and I do believe that that's where God is calling me to go. So I know it doesn't sound like things are slowing down for me... but they have in the way of finances. Because to move it takes money not a whole lot of money but at the moment I got more lint in my pockets than I do funds. Needless to say I was freaking out a little bit thinking well God I feel like this is where you calling me to go but how am I going to get there. But now... after listening to this message I know that if it truly is God's Will for me to get down there to Florida He will open the door to make it happen for me and all I'll have to do is walk through it. Cause he hears me knocking! I've just got to listen for the door to open and be obedient to His Will and walk through that door no matter what's on the other side of it.
    Thank you Jesus for sending this message to me through the teaching of Pastor Furitck in a way that I could completely understand it! I love you Jesus!

    Dry bones can live again. I won't stop knocking. I am grateful to God to be on this path with Him. The door may not open right away, but I will keep knocking. I won't stop believing no matter what. I will keep my door open to Jesus.

    I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all my fears.
    Those who look to him are radiant;
    their faces are never covered with shame.
    This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers them.
    The lions may grow weak and hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
    Psalm 34:4-7,10
    Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
    Mark 5:26
    Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
    Mark 9:24
    Thank you Jesus, Holy is your Name. Amen.

    Pastor,
    If you only knew how this sermon hit home for me. My life got turned upside down two months ago. This week has been the worst week of them all. I went through the worst pain my mind, body, and soul has ever experienced. I have been stuck in prison for so long. I have been practicing and learning to try to defeat the prison inside my head. I had thought to myself that I needed to go through it, I did not know why. Then you said, "The only reason God allowed the trial was to free you from what was holding you captive." There are no words that I can find to explain how I am feeling right now, other than thank you for your sermon! Thank you God for opening up my eyes and helping me walk through this door I have held shut my whole life.

    O God, almighty and merciful, you heal the broken-hearted, and turn the sadness of the sorrowful to joy. Let your fatherly goodness be upon all whom you have made. Remember in pity all those who are this day destitute, homeless, elderly, infirm, or forgotten. Bless the multitude of your poor. Lift up those who are cast down. Mightily befriend innocent sufferers and sanctify to them the endurance of their wrongs. Cheer with hope all who are discouraged and downcast, and by your heavenly grace preserve from falling those whose poverty tempts them to sin. Though they be troubled on every side, suffer them not to be distressed; though they are perplexed, save them from despair. Grant this, O Lord, for the love of him who for our sakes became poor, your Son our Savior Jesus Christ.
