"Sometimes it is the devil giving you comfort and Jesus bringing confrontation" My goodness! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I’m glad someone finally tells us how savage Jesus really is

“ When Jesus shows up dysfunction has no where to hide “ !!! AMEN 🙏🏿

Pastor Steven makes too much sense all the time, i can’t get enough of his messages ... it’s so rich and empowering. I’m in awe of what God speaks through you sir.. you are such a voice and blessing to my life..

I have been comfortable in my isolation. I keep to myself and don't have many friends. I don't trust people because they scare me, so I withdrawel. I know it's not healthy, but it's comfortable and safe! I've been feeling a tugging at my soul, telling me to get into a small group at church. I know it's God speaking to me, and despite how uncomfortable it makes me feel I registered to find a group. I was told a while back, God is more concerned with our character than our comfort, and listening to Pastor Steve confirmed it. I pray for the courage and guidance to find the right group and to Come Out of my dysfunctional isolation.

“The greatest enemy of faith is not fear. It is familiarity.” ... SO good!!

I've never asked for prayer on any of Pastor Stevens videos but today I would like to ask for prayer. I have been trying to reconcile my relationship with God for myself and would eventually like for my bf to also build a relationship with God. I just feel he can't do so if I don't set an example. So I ask for prayer to have strength to overcome temptation and obstacles, wisdom to guide me down the right path, patience for when I don't see change right away, and trust even when it seems like God isnt working that I trust in his timing and what he is doing.💕 So I can be an example to others not just through words but actions. 🙏🏼❤️

''we get too comfortable sometimes with our dysfunction.. the devil doesn't want us to get uncomfortable cuz we will change" BOOM!!!! sometimes i feel so comfortable with my dysfunction that i don't even feel bad about it, its like ''NORMAL'' now, thanks God that HE always confront me.

I’ve realized that half of the time I prayed, I prayed for something pointless and not meaningful. Today, I’m praying and begging him to heal my dog who is very sick. She saved my life in my darkest hours, she’s been the perfect dog, never bit anyone. She stayed by my moms side when she was sick. She’s been the purest and most loving dog I’ve ever had. Please pray for her health. I’m ok with letting her go of old age but I don’t want her leaving like this. If anyone’s reading this please pray for her. Her name is Reese’s.

I feel like this was for me!! I'm in a very dysfunctional situation!! please pray for my strength to be uncomfortable so I can get through this!! God Bless you all

I feel like breaking down the house tonight!!! I’m going crazy with joy!!! I felt the Holy Spirit flow through me like a warm relaxing oozing throughout my whole body. From my head to my toes!!!! Preach bro, Preach!!! In Jesus Christ Holy name. Love you bro and all the comments and congregation. Amen 🙏

when Jesus shows up ...dysfunction has no where to hide...nowhere to run...Lord Jesus pls help me confront my demons...I come s i am ...thank you for speaking to Pastor Steven Furtick ....although is uneasy...Lord i surrender..all my thoughts to thee...amen

This message was sent straight from God for me. Randomly scrolling through KZfaq and this video comes up and pastor Steven spoke to everything I’m going through. No more indulging my insecurities, no more blaming God, no more being comfortable in my situation, but more believing that my being uncomfortable is serving a purpose to get me from where I am to where I need to be. Thank you Jesus!

Listening to pastor Steven and pressing into God has helped me through anxiety and depression I thought was going to literally kill me! His teaching of Gods word has truly Blessed me!

You are a true blessing from God, Pastor. You are gifted to break down and explain the word like no other. I thank God for you!

From this moment I declare that I will not stay in a dysfunctional comfort anymore, through the Blood of Jesus. Amen.

Steven Furtick is truly a one of a kind pastor.. So many people can relate to the things he teaches and preaches.. he’s transparent and relatable. God is using him to reach people who likely would of never stepped inside a church.. God keep him, preserve him, and continue to use him mightily.

What an incredible message! Thank you pastor for this amazing word from God. So much of it is applicable to where my life is right now: recovering from addiction. 1) “God will disrupt my comfort to confront a disfunction” 2) “when going through trouble, let us be slow to rebuke the devil, for maybe the trouble is the means of transformation”

When you watched it live yesterday an still gonna watch it again because it’s sooo good 💖

"Fear is an ALLY of FAITH. Fear puts you in a place where you know you need something GREATER than yourself, which makes connection with God possible". Amen and Amen!

"In the process of taking care of his physical needs, I stopped meeting the emotional needs that he had to be a dad to me" The minute (and I mean the minute) I woke this morning, I saw this sermon. This part got me. It spoke ABOUT me and summed up what I felt for so long that I was never even able to put into words. I ruined the very nature of the relationship. I became the mom and dad when I'm supposed to be their 16 year old child. Recently, I asked God to restore my family. Then today I came to realize after those words that it was my fault. I've always felt like a parent. The way I think, the way I act, the way I weigh out certain things to help situations. I've always felt like a parent. But recently God has been telling me to start being like a kid. Stop thinking about taxes when I'm only 16, stop thinking about moving out and working when I'm not even 16 and a half, stop thinking about how you're going to take care of your family thousands of miles away and your younger cousins and how you're going to raise them as if your their parent. God has been telling me to press on the brakes. I violated the very nature of the relationship because I didn't know the function. I grew up where pressure has been on me to help out my family so I grew up in the dysfunctional system and mindset of thinking that it was up to me to make things work, leading me to spiral in worry, fear, and anxiety. Its one thing to have a sermon be FOR you. But it's another for a sentence or a phrase in the sermon AND the sermon itself be ABOUT you. It was so personal that I couldn't get it out of my head at all since I woke up. Thank you pastor Furtick for this.

LOVE how brother Steven said ,"if you think these passages about demon possession are about demons than you have missed the whole point of the scripture passage"

Wow, i cannot live and stay in my dysfunctional comfort because Jesus came to save me from it. Thank you for the reminder to make a decision to choose life in Him.

Been fighting with myself on the decision to watch this sermon because that very word dysfunction scared me now I know why I’ve become comfortable in my dysfunction my oh my this sermon convicted me in areas of myself that I didn’t even realize was wrong and it just reminded me of last year around this time when I felt a spiritual emptiness and the things-he has said in this sermon was my very problem it was like God literally speaking through this man Wow ❤️

My wife and kids are coming back into my life Steven and Holly I love you both thank you for being my team

Good job I praise the Lord because you are very straight and forward Jesus has many facets of his personality he came to do a job and he did it very well the Holy Spirit has been sent to do a job and he does it very well Papa C overseas everything does a job in his awesome we give him all the praise and all the glory I appreciate your brother

Woke up this morning at 7am PST searching for this weeks sermon haha. Always eager to hear Pastor Steven preach! I am a college student in San Francisco so my faith is challenged every day. I so wish I could attend Elevation Church in person. Pastor Steven speaks straight from God's heart into mine. An anointed man!

I came here so dejected and calling myself damaged and dysfunctional and then I hear this and now I can't stop praising God. Such a beautiful and powerful message through Pastor Steven Furtick. God bless.

I will not remain comfortable, I will walk in the Light of God. Joy Bahrain 🇧🇭 💖

This sermon showed up in my mail box and it brought tears to my eyes. There is a man in the background that yells "YEAH!" and I sure do miss that guy and all the noises of a crowded church building. I pray that we a the body of Christ never take for granted the wonderful sounds that assembling together is like, remember heaven will be very loud filled with the praises of God

41:06: “The spirit of Christ is in this place.” Chills every.single.time. Can’t explain that moment, but it always hits. So moving.

For the lord gave us a spirit of not fear but of love power and self control.

Wow. I almost dropped my phone... Revelation is no joke. Praise God. Can't wait to share this.

Oh my gosh I felt this to my core. This sermon made me feel uncomfortable because it's what I needed to hear. Thank you God for speaking to me through this man. Steve Furtick is a great pastor!! He's helping change lives all over the 🌎. I often listen to his sermons on KZfaq because elevation church is too far for me.

Can’t even put into words the relevance of trying to run a business and it being so uncomfortable and fearful, but it’s amazing this message helps to restore how God is trying to use me in this time while I go through the hardships. Thank you Steven!

Your the best Steven Furtick( Clem's) lol. I have been spiritual but dislike churches. I would never listen to someone preach to me, until you. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon you channel surfing. Ive watched almost every episode . its so healing how you speak realistically. I love your not perfect! I love you dont know how to solve all your problems, yet you sure know where to go for help, and your helping me in the process. I feel you have started a new positive journey for my life. Thank you. And please keep doing what you do, I need to hear your preaching k. I appreciate you , your honesty and your faith. Thank you. Here's to a new direction.

🤚🏽 hand raised here. Yakima, Wa in the house with you. I don’t want to live in the dysfunction. I see it as a problem and don’t want to carry it around. “COME OUT”

COMFORT FOOD has just been given a whole new meaning as a weapon of the enemy!

please pray for me, this sermon is exactly what I'm going through and I'm coming out!

"When we run for comfort outside of Christ, we will not experience our calling because we got stuck in our comfort" I truly felt that...Great example of why we keep falling back into toxic relationships because we get comfortable and familiar with accepting being treated that way.😥 That pain is real...I don't want the comfort that comes from disfunction, I want the comfort that comes from God. I pray for all those who are hurting and stuffing that Pain that God may Break everyone of our chains 🙏🏽💙

This powerful sermon spoke to me more than any sermon I’ve ever listened to. I know all the heart ache I’ve gone though is to glorify our Lord and Savior. The quotes that resonate in my soul...“Some people are good TO but not good FOR you.” and “The devil wants us to go somewhere else, besides God, for our comfort.” Philippians 1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, what has happened to me has actually served to advanced the glory.

Steven I just want to say that you really inspired me a lot and it changed my life. My name is Matthew Cantner and I just want to say God bless you and may the spirit of God rest upon you.

I keep wondering why after these past couple weeks i havent been able to keep up with the savage Jesus series. Im usually on it when it comes to watching elevation sermons. But today, i think i understand why. Somewhere around 4mins in, he talk about dysfuntional comfort, Cepharnahum (sp?) bring denounced cause of their comfort, and such. I already knkw i struggle with dysfunctional comfort and feel like i cant escape it though i know i want to. But idk, after watching this sermon for like the 3rd or 4th time i feel like God's doing His best to get me to understand this point in my spirit and not just my mind. For me, its dufficult to come out of this dysfunctional comfort after so many years. I dont want to turn out like Sodom and Gomorrah nor Cepharnahum. Prayers would be wonderful if your spirit feels inclined to

Just when I was doubting myself and feeling down about where I am in life. God led me to Pastor Steven's sermon. This message was exactly what I needed. Praise God!

" You don't always have to scream and shout. Sometimes the loudest response is a decision in your heart, I'm going to confront this. "

Comfort that we choose is not true comfort...only when we reject our comfort and make the choice to step into the UNCOMFORTABLE do we experience the TRUE comfort that comes from God...so good!

Familiarity has always kept me from being truthful. Let all dysfunctions come out in Jesus name

It is so amazing how God delivers His message at the perfect time. I needed this...💓

Notification received 😝🙃 Prepared to hear the Word of God To anyone reading this: God loves you w/ His Perfect Immeasurable Love & gives you purpose through Jesus Christ + I love you #stayblessed #Godgotu 😘😘🤗✌

This is my third time watching this and I literally just went through deliverance while listening to this video 🙌🏽 GLORY to God!

I've been in such a difficult season. It's been so much struggling. This sermon helped me choose healing today.

That makes me feel a lot better. I was like “I keep having issues with people I must be doing it wrong” well yes and no...

If you could pray for me I'd appreciate it. Ive been heartbroken for 4 months and have been patiently waiting for Gods direction and blessings. My depression has significantly increased and am close to becoming an impatient at a mental institute.

"Comfort is keeping you from your calling" - this is EVERYTHING! comfort food, comfort friends, comfort habits. "Trouble is the means for transformation" SAY>IT>AGAIN!!

JESUS is KING....

This sermon really got to me, this was for me. It’s time to get out of my comfort zone, and put all my trust in you Lord💜 Thank you God for this extraordinary life!

One of the most real, convicting sermons I’ve ever heard. Absolutely savage!

12:13 enemy and ally of faith 26:00 indulge insecurities 27:25 function of comfort 28:50 evil spirit in church (2cor1 4/mark 1 23) 38:33 Matthew 11 22

Quite possibly one of the greatest sermons I have ever heard, Pastor Steven. God spoke to me through you about my dysfunctional comfort. I'm a different woman and a better woman for it. Thank you more than words could say.

I’ve seen one of your most recent videos and recommend you rewatch this one just to see how far you’ve come. Sometimes looking back at the good in your life can make a difference today. I love your preaching, Pastor Steven Furtick. It’s helped me much. God bless everybody.

This message was for me!!!!! i cant wait to get more and more. May God continue to give you more revelations and more anointing on you!!!! watching it in Zimbabwe

Wow this was really powerful. I long to hear this message, I needed this message so bad in my life. Thank you, Praise God Praise Jesus. Love ya

Thank you, Pastor Steven. I could not do that on my own. Thank you. And may God richly bless you for your courage to proclaim the word of God, for casting out personal demons, for inquiring of the Lord and speaking his powerful word.

Have no idea how many times this sermon gets played. I listen to it everytime I’m in a rough place. God bless Pastor Steven

I just want to say thank you to pastor Steven for following Gods calling because from his preachings I was able to see Gods calling for me.

My comfort WAS keeping me from my calling. The more I step out in faith, the more I learn to lean on God's strength.

I clicked on this thinking I would just learn something that didn't really apply to me atm but MAN did I need this NOW. Thank you

Wow very powerful message I was comfortable being in drugs and living for the world and now that I am sober thanks to the lord I am sober I go through feeling uncomfortable at times and anxious but I know Jesus Christ has come to lead me into the right path and I am so blessed to have been saved right on time I love you God so much I am okay with the uncomfortableness because I know your here to make me strong

YES! YES! YES! This message right here!!!! This is the essence of being born again. Thank you Pastor Steven.

Spirit of Comfort come out. So hard to move forward when you've been hurt by so many, rejected and abandoned. God cover me with your wings, and set me on high as you promise in your word. Help me be what you have called me to be! Heal me from within. Restore only what you Choose! Rebuild what you desire!

GOD speaks through Pastor Steven Furtick I'm so thankful listening to his preaching is the only thing that has kept me sober its only been 40 days but that's the hardest part but longest I've been sober since I was 13 and and 30 thank you JESUS and thank you Pastor Steven Furtick

Pastor Steven, you are a true gift from God. My relationship with God has grown stronger because of you. I wasn't a true believer in God until I stepped in your church and heard your words. You have not only saved my life but you have also brought me back in faith so thank you so much and I pray that God will give me the opportunity to tell you that face to face.

Second time I listen to this I needed it !!! I was sitting in a comfort zone far to long ,praise Jesus for pastor Steven

Jesus is ready to move forward when the Father is Thank you Holy Spirit Always in your debt Amen

Thank you so much for this word. I faced the most challenging 5 days of my life after the passing of my aunt. I felt uncomfortable and alone for all around me felt like death. After watching this yesterday and right now, I feel the presence of God. I know that God is with me in this season. I am not alone in this trouble for He is my conforter in times of trouble. Thank Pastor Steven Furtick. God truly continue to bless you. 🙏🏽😭😭🙏🏽

Maaann... this message delivered me from those dis“comforts” I was struggling with for so long. I’m so grateful for this sermon-revelation. I prayed to the Lord to help me know Jesus for my life. He is my DELIVERER!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Lord I thank YOU 🙏

Praise God for this message. With everything I'm going through. Praise God. I choose my Calling over my comfort!!!

So good! I love Pastor’s anointing because God really speaks to me through his messages !! Thank you Jesus !!!

I like this message, at first when I heard the title savage, I thought Hmmm because I do not like that word, but I understand that Jesus came to tell it how it is and was direct and honest. He wants people to not be blinded but to have their eyes opened, pray God opens your eyes to things which are dysfunctional in your life, knowledge is power and getting into the word of God will open your eyes, start reading the Gospels. Which I did, now I'm going through to the old testament, read it prayerfully ask God to give you wisdom to understand.

Jesus is our real comfort he said i am the way and i am the truth and life this is simple

Feels like this sermon right here was God speaking directly to me! Thank you Jesus for your mighty power & unfathomable love for your children

Amen Man of God ! You are reaching out to China where I am .God Bless you.

Amen pastor good sermons

Powerful sermon! Thank you Furtick for Exposing the demons existence ... many don’t believe their real today ... but that’s what the devil wants us to believe

One time I was a 7.5 and my head put a hole through the wall HAHAAHAH oh snap that’s huge, nature of a relationship, amen. So good.

I am not comfortable where I am in you Lord, I need more of you

Thank you for this word, God blessed you through it for me, I receive it Whole heatedly, I know I am loved unconditionally without limits the enemy has no power over me, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord of all challenges and struggles and hurts and disappointments, and troubles, issues and pain, may God continue to be me, and cover me through everything I go through even though Believe, in Jesus Christ as the Lord and savior... I surrender to Jesus Christ for he made the greatest sacrifice ever, for humanity, and I just want to say thank you for being the propitiation sacrifice for us.... AMEN Blessings 🙏 Hallelujah 🙌🙏 praising God and Jesus Christ... THX

I wait eagerly every Monday morning to hear Pastor Steven . So grateful for his understanding

Thank you for this message Pastor Furtick. I go through discomfort each day at my job but know the Lord is working everything in my favor, I believe and have faith in that, my calling is coming in the name of Jesus! I am seeing the miracles come to pass and I know I will be victorious in every way. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. COME OUT!

I needed this my lord 🙏🙏😭😭❤️❤️❤️

OMGOOODNESS!! THIS WAS DEFINITELY AN NESSAGE FOR ELEVATION!!!!!THANK YOU FAHTER FOR YOUR SON WHO YOU GAVE A MESSAGE THAT WAS 100 AS ALWAYS...

This message just got so close to my heart! Thank you for preaching this

I am so "Grateful" for being "Dysfunctional" because now God's sees me "Beyond" what man think or know of me! Be Bless!! Pastor Steven.

OH MY GOODNESS, Steven, this message hit me right in my heart and makes me to be willing to be willing to SURRENDER ALL. No more excuses to allow things to comfort me, that are not from Christ, who shed His Blood to set me free, but to be able to DO THE will of our ABBA FATHER

wow...God's timing is just perfect. This is dealing with what i was thinking about yesterday. i thank God for this message and for always using you to speak to me.

I'm walking in faith and letting go of familiarity. God bless you

I will not be comfortable in the darkness . God has called me into the light. 🙏 🙏

I am blessed by this pastor so often! Lord keep blessing him

I came across this video 2 years after it was posted. This morning I prayed for God to show me and this showed me and spoke to me so loudly. I got out of an abusive relationship almost 2 months ago and this helped me more than anything else had. Thank you. ❤️

When Jesus shows up, It's Show Time!!
