Challenge The Shadow | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

No challenge, no change.
In “Challenge The Shadow,” Pastor Steven Furtick shows us that things can change when we bring our doubts and shame to the light of God’s presence.
Pastors Steven & Holly Furtick captured a behind-the-scenes conversation where you can hear the parts that didn’t make it into the sermon. You can watch it here: • Go Back For Your Benefit

    Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤

    God has helped me challenge the shadow of addiction and prison and depression. He has delivered me time and time again. His grace has never ran out on my life. I should have been dead. He saved me from that life. He saved me from human trafficking. I could not have done it my self. The glory is all His. It was His hand. He saved me from the shadows. I will never be the same. :)

    Dear Lord, I pray for the person reading this right now. I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that they have came across this because they are in need of strength, protection, restoration, & love during this season of their life. I pray you give this person exactly that Lord God plus more. I pray you bless this person and send your angels to guide them out this storm. I pray at this moment, they feel your supernatural power come over them and fill them with the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus protect us from the wickedness and snares of the devil. In Jesus Name Amen.

    I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God "God please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! ❤ God is good!💜Amen🙏🏾

    Praise God!! I have a special needs daughter as well and I have seen God use my child’s medical issues and disabilities to reveal his love and grace and ability to do miracles to non believers or just doubting believers!! I know my baby girls special needs has changed so many peoples minds about their unbelief in God. Praise God! I know he’s going to use your daughters medical condition for his glory and to bring others to the kingdom! God bless you mama, I know that it takes a very special person to raise a child with special needs, keep your eyes on Jesus when you get tired or when things start to feel like too much. My daughters doctor said something to me years ago when she was born that I have never forgotten and it has reminded me of the strength I have to do this that I’m not even aware of. He said this…. God only chooses special people to take care of his special little children. So don’t ever doubt yourself, GOD KNEW YOU COULD DO THIS!!!!!!

God saved me, and although I tried to outrun him for a few more years after that...I couldn't. I surrendered my life to Jesus almost a decade ago now. And while much work has been involved, I am saved. I live a happy life, with beautiful children, a career I love, and a family I care about. Looking back I know I was saved for so many reasons.

Even though the spiritual war you already won in Jesus name, you also need to intervene in your dtr's life... listen to her and guide her, or get a psychologist in case she doesn't want to hear it from you (typical teenager behavior). Pls read 'what a girl needs from her mom' by Cherri Fuller. Keep going and fight for your dtr. You're not alone. Is your dtr in a Youth group? Find local resources too. GB.

    I listened to this while studying to sit for my attorney admission board exams. After trying to write these exams twice prior. Challenged the shadow and God did it! 🥹 passed my exams and I’m only left with 1 exam for admission as an attorney! It could only be God! ❤️🥹 my journey with God has been so scrumptious! I’ll never forget this word!

    Pastor Steven, this was more than on time. My 62 yr old sister has been fighting stage 3 aggressive ovarian cancer. This year has been the most challenging. I try not to cry because anything is possible. They sent her home with home health/hospice but I believe in the doctor himself, God, that it’s not over until he says it’s over. In the past 2 years we have lost mom to cancer, my sister fighting ovarian, my other sister had a mastectomy for cancer and I was diagnosed in Nov 2022 and had a double mastectomy as well 3/2023. My family and I love you and your church. I’m still sending her the word thru you tube because I want her to hear God thru you. Please keep our family in your prayers! Her name is Frances from NJ. Thank you.

    This. Yesterday as I lay in my hospital bed crying and weeping to God about this cancer…the odds of dying greater than living…telling Him WHY I had to live. This morning I was looking for the sermon I missed last Sunday at my home church and God opened this sermon up and started it playing. Wow. I just heard God speaking directly to my heart. You may have recorded this long ago, but this was meant for me…this morning. Because I needed to be reminded that I’ve got a DIRECT line to the Supervisor. Then I listened to Ugly Trust. Thank you Pastor for delivering both of these for this day. For me. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow.

We just moved to this little town to get away from a hectic past, of heroin and meth use. I needed to hear this message, I will not go back. I have been struggling with thinking of going back home because I don't know anyone here it gets kinda lonely as a single dad. But no challenge no change. This is about me becoming the best me I can be for my kids and myself. I just wanted to say thank you, and I ask you to please keep me in your prayers I know this ain't gonna be easy in more ways than one. As of now we're staying with my little sister and I'm out of work. So please hold us up in your prayers.
