I need prayers for my husband 😞 I was listening to an earlier sermon and he walks in saying, “why am I listening to this **** for?” He was NEVER like this 😞😞😞 it really really hurt my soul to hear him talk like that. He used to be so into God and a believer and had faith and I’ve slowly watched it disappear 😞 Idk what happened that caused this over the years, but I can really use some prayers for him… please😞😞😞😞

My mentor, my thorn is the piece of my heart that was taken when God called my 26 yr old daughter home. The first thing you experience in this unwanted journey is this. God provides an unending River of Grace that continually washes over you as a parent walking through child loss. That pain will be ever present, however the mana that falls daily in the form of God's Grace gives me what I need to get up and walk through what God has called me to journey through with Him. Something so painful has lead to the greatest revelation and relationship with my Saviour. It is all about leaning into my Lord even though the pain or the thorn is still present. All Glory is returned to King Jesus. 💕🙏

Hello fellow believers in Christ, my name is Christian. I ask all of you to please pray for my Chanessa, she is 17 years old and sick, she doesn't eat, she has gone through so much and her soul is tired, you can see it in her eyes. She is struggling to move out of her abusive parents house, she works three jobs, pays for school, the medical bills and therapy is drowning her in debt. All this whilst living plainly on energy drinks. Im scared that one day im gonna wake up and get a call that she pasted away somehow. If your still reading this please take a moment to pray for her, pray that the good Lord shows Himself to her, shows her that He loves her and that He died for her, i beg you! please pray for her salvation and a healing over her soul. God bless

Hahahaha, I love how deep and hilarious this sermon was thank you so much Steven Furtick for allowing our Lord and savior to speak through you! Your messages spoke to me and so many others while I was in prison and they continue to speak truth, and comfort to me now, a year out. I've made alot of mistakes since I've been out I've compromised some goals and moral values forsure, I've relapsed on just about everything but drugs..but BY THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD i have not drowned I'm still afloat! He hasn't let me go or turned His face from me once!! I feel His presence and hear Him in so many ways. I'm still called and chosen and He continues to bless me abundantly. 🙌 I Cant wait to hear what the Lord places in your heart October 29th in Tulsa, I'll be there ready to receive!! 😃😁🥳🙌

I needed this sermon. 9 years ago my life changed dramatically- something I didn’t ask for - 2 dependents I was responsible for when I should have been in “empty nest” mode. I was ready for a new chapter; instead God gave me a responsibility to do something all over again. I fought it but surrendered. My thorn has truly been my mentor and I know a blessing I still struggle to see sometimes. But when this particular season has passed I know God will show me how worthwhile it was to me spiritually, and for His Glory.

You have given me a whole new way of looking at my thorn. All of my adult life my thorn has been hepatitis b & c. Today I thank the Lord for that disease as it got me off of drugs and living a good clean life. When adversity would come strangely enough my hepatitis would come out of remission and humble me. Through that adversity I got faith. Faith in myself faith in God, faith in mankind for so many people helped me when I needed it. Thank you for helping me understand. Now 68yrs young I can accept my thorn.

I know according to the release date I’m late on this, but the spirit in me says it was right on time! Man! It was without a doubt the BEST message I ever remember hearing. Because it was real! Not fake and 'perfect/churchy' but Real for real people. It was also the most hilarious!😂 Because it was all so true, like a very subtle 'up yours' to the fakes and pretenders. If I wasn't shaking my head yes or saying 'Amen!' I was laughing out loud. So many key points that really brought me clarity. Clarity about where I've been/what I've been through - and Why. But also clarity of where I currently am and why. The same formula of clarity I can use for the future thorns I may have. Mentor/Tormentor being one and the same. And both being placed IN ME! 🙌🏻🤯😄 It's as though God Himself has either been the director, the actor, the producer or the sender of EVERYTHING we have, are or ever will walk through. He very likely is in every single part. That makes it a lot easier for me to deal with things. Not just deal but to do it with a full heart and a smile on my face!! I will continually ask Him as Paul did to remove my thorn(s) but when He doesn't I will thank him for the 'Therefore'! Don't get me wrong, I have heard a fair amount of sermons from varying preachers. From Catholic priests to varying Christian faiths. Some very serious and somber, some full of the 'wrath type' teachings, and luckily a lot of good mostly real ones who carry the charismatic spirit of Jesus. However, I've never heard a pastor tell it like it really is in such an authentic and unapologetic way. It was so refreshing to find out that existed. Thank You and Bless you and your team.

That's what you got out this? Most of these modern pastors should have become comedians since they act like clowns in the pulpit, this dude's like 40 acting like a 20 year old. This is job for men, not fools and Furtick is a false preacher.

Really wish I could’ve heard the rest. 🥺🥺 Is there any way to hear the rest of it?! I’ve been going through so much darkness in my life lately. Thank God for you Pastor Steven. I pray one day to meet you and thank you for helping me even though we have never met. 😔🥺
