Do You Feel Empty Inside? | Steven Furtick
Рет қаралды 414,346
Күн бұрынIt’s easy to feel empty -- but even easier to try to fill up in the wrong places.
In this message, Pastor Steven Furtick turns to the woman at the well (John 4) to remind us that, when we’re thirsty, God is the living water. When we’re hungry, He is the bread of life.
When we feel empty, He can fill us.

Hey everyone I am currently trapped in drugs, alcohol, and sin. I used to be different I have felt God. I have hugged Christ but I am stuck in spiritual warefare at the moment. If anyone reading this could pray for me I would really appreciate that. I am ready to give up anything for God the drugs, the money, anything that I have ever cared for that is worldly. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I KNOW I RAN INTO THIS VIDEO BECAUSE GOD WANTED ME TO WATCH THIS IS KNOW HE DID. God Bless You All

I feel dry, and I have been going to the wrong thing to fill me up. I know what I'm doing, but the more I try to turn to God the more I feel like I get pulled back into a past struggle. My heart aches for the Lord, but I have an unhealthy craving that I just keep satisfying. I feel all my past mistakes fill up my heart and God is making room for Himself, but it hurts. This was literally an overwelming splash from God, but now I need to get my fill.

When Jesus struggled on the cross and was trapped. Knowing that he is my Lord and Savior and that He experienced what I experience in life, humbles me and makes me realize that I need to accept the struggles and the tribulations in my life and allow God's will to be done. For me to drink from the cup filled with the living water, I must thirst for it. Only then can I be released from death and have eternal life. This message was so profound and powerful. Thank you Pastor Furtick and my the lord richly bless you.
@aleahparsons8752 3 жыл бұрын
Today I had a bad day. Today I felt shame, I felt like I was stupid and I felt like I was unloved so I was going to numb the pain by drinking. But my friend held me Accountable and told me to pour what I had bought out. I didn’t want to at first because I didn’t want to deal with how I was feeling but I stumbled across this video and heard the part about Jesus turning away the drink even when he was thirsty dying on the cross. I poured out the drink that I bought remembering that if Jesus could turn away distractions and escapes to fulfill his purpose I can do the same. I don’t really feel better if I’m being honest but I know that with Jesus it will get better from here!

Due to your teachings, when I found myself in a dark, hard, scary place, I even had chains on! But I sat down, even in the darkest of times.... I looked up and said "Ok Lord, I am completely alone, but glad to do your work. I know I am here to do Your work." I wasn't happy where I was. But I kept the faith that in the Lord's eyes, I was where I needed to be.

Fantastic message!!!! Thirsting.....Yep!! I'm guilty of it!! The shame and the guilt I feel afterwards physically makes me sick because of my conscience and shame. Having to talk to Him and ask for forgiveness makes me feel like a parasite; after all He does for me and I still continue to thirst for the wrong things and sin. I should be thirsting for knowledge and wisdom that comes from Him. My thirsting for the wrong things and then asking for His forgiveness feels like I use Him, it is a terrible feeling. Thirsting for money, shopping, new cars, etc maybe it"s not wrong but afterwards it sure feels like it. Keep up the good work Brother Furtick, you are always on point with your teaching.

The title was enough like slapping me in the face enough lol saying "THIS IS HOW YOU'VE BEEN FEELING"...my emotions have been all over the place lately. Happy and thankful for this and that and then sad and sorrowful for this and that ever changing through the day. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY DAUGHTER GUYS!!! She has turned away from God. She needs to know that God loves and forgives her no matter what...at 17 I know life is hard but this girl used to be all about Jesus. Satan you have no authority over my daughter and her spirit. Get there behind her in Jesus name. Holy Spirit please fill her with discernment according to her choices she makes. Amen➕❤️❤️
