Better Is Ahead | Steven Furtick
There’s something better ahead.
Pastor Steven helps us recognize that God is in the business of doing a new thing in and through us - and it’s already better because He’s in it.

I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where KZread started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.

Lord please hear my prayers. I’m a single mother and I’m struggling to provide for my sons both are autistic and I’m overwhelmed! Every month is a battle. Jesus help me to overcome my fears. Because as I struggle I am fearful. Struggling to provide for me and my children is scary Struggling to buy groceries. Struggling to pay rent. BUT I trust you Lord. Jesus hear my prayers.

God will provide. But if he needs me please tell me how I can help. I don't have alit but God says we're supposed to treat our Christian brothers and sisters better than the rest. How can I help? Need someone to talk to? My door is open. God loves you as his child as so should I as your brother. May God grant you peace and endurance to make it through this with your head held high

Some autistic qualify through California State for SSI. I would look into that. There are resources available in California. I'm not sure how it works in other states but inquire at your local transitional assistance department, (we call that TAD here,) food banks, and SSA website. I hope that helps. ❤
I'm crying cause I know that God is real and he has taught me something knew and better

*Brothers and sisters Hold on to GOD'S unchanging hands.*
How often do we put God first in our decision making? It's paramount we take that first step of talking to him first. I wanted trying out something new so I prayed to God about it and took the step, it turned out my best decision ever taken. A decision that fetches me $42k bimonthly. I spent time praying in the spirit like I always do, in tongues of fire (my secret weapon). God came through for me. Praise Jesus 🙏🙌✝️💗💖💖💕💞🙏🙏

As humans we take a lot of things for granted, even God's own point of view, his voice, his thoughts on things we plan to do. We need to pay attention to his thoughts cause they are that of good bringing us to an expected end

I'm fascinated with the part you are growing in grace and praying in unknown tongues of fire 🔥 Keep it going brother, the enemy Satan doesn't relate to those groanings
Learn how to trust in God even when it gets hard never go back to what God delivered you from just because it seems like it’s getting hard keep going cause it’s better and bigger to where Jesus is taking you 🙌🏾❤️🩹✝️ & always remember Jesus loves you.

I had to leave a job that I loved because of abuse there. I went there Tuesday and was going to work 2 weeks to help the other people and he told me to leave. It was hurtful and it was 3 days ago. When you posted this video. Thank you so much for your encouragement and preaching. I needed this so much today. You saved me through the holy spirit. Thank you so much
Father God please speak to my son's heart and soul - and all my nephews and nieces, this teaching right here! We ALL need it!
I am realizing that GOD feels BETTER Than Anything or Anyone❤❤I am a Work in Process...I Thank GOD for Being In My Life❤❤I Thank GOD for My Trials and Tribulation... Hallelujah In Jesus Name❤❤❤
The Lord is trusting me again to move forward in my relationship with his Holy Trinity and walk in his will and righteousness, to bring glory to his name and kingdom…God has restored my joy , healed my soul , spirit , heart and mind .. He fought my battles and freed me from my yesterday past and gave me a desire to live for Him again… in the mighty name of Jesus. My past is history and ain’t no going backwards….

It's the usual for me: Thank you for still continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. Also thank you for not getting annoyed. I know God is working at it and I so long to see it.

I just need my bills paid. I'm going on the streets soon unless God creates a breakthrough. I'm a skilled tradesman and still can't survive. This life can't be mine. I've only struggled after 30 years. My story is one I don't want others to live. Lord please step in my life and help take care of these things through me.

We need god when the unexpected show up
I love hearing you preach !! Thank you for delivering these powerful sermons it's honestly what gets me through these hard days I have been enduring !!! Plz pray for me!!
Oh God, please hear my prayers! I am struggling with relationships and communication! I recently went through a break up and we want to be friends but our parents do not support it because I said that I want to kill myself. I was having suicidal thoughts because of how hard the break up was, I was so emotional and devastated. I was also having them because of sleep pills which thankfully I got off of and finally not having those thoughts anymore! Lord, help me realize there is better for me! Amen.
This was the juice I needed for this season!
I praise,and ask God,and Jesus everyday of my life to take me by my hand lead me down righteous to over come Satan..for his destruction has overcome this world..🙏😇🦋
All I can do is trust the Lord to see me through my pain🙏
Amen !❤

Thank you so much, Pastor Steven! 🤍 You made me realize a lot of things again. Often in our lives, we tend to compare ourselves to others - which causes us burnouts and decreases our self esteem. Thank you Jesus for showing me another side of life, and for helping me to just focus in which you are leading me. 🙌
Good morning, how are you. AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏, 🙏 🙏 🙏, 🙏 Greetings from Queens NY. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
