Everyone reading this Powerful MESSAGE would receive GODS GRACE. 2 Corinthians 5:20 and Ephesians 6:20 I still preaching this message as God's ambassador ...What no one will tell you. Focus your Faith Just a Reminder, Open up your Bible, and read this for yourself. 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, Do not Ignore the Truth in Jeremiah 27:15, 14:14, and 23:16 that your Preacher, and satan doesn’t want you to know or Hear. ThIs is Surely God’s Voice. Not only will you need this information for yourself, but you will want to share this with others Matthew 7:15 Beware of False Teachers.
"God is not against me, he's in it with me, working through me, fighting for me"
"In times of transition, you've got to keep it tight. Who's in your headset? Get a different script." God is not against me🎵🎤🔥🔥 !! That's a very powerful song!!

Every morning in the extra hour I get to work early I listen to u preach, while I set up the salon for the day and do my hair and make up. My boss saw it one day and said to me that he doesn't think it's working, I then explained that it is and that this what gives me strength to go through all the extremely tough problems I seem to have had for the past 6 years. From being homeless and needing to go home with my tail between my legs to losing everything I've had and starting all over again to here paying my bills and having different problems that I'm fighting against daily, I've been through so much and when I found u and started using my extra time to listen to these I feel stronger and more at peace, I also have learnt so much. I just love it. I'm making dinner now and I just finished this one while I was busy cooking (didn't get to finish it) thank u and bless u

I went through something similar and I wanted to recommend “the sugar fast” by Wendy Speake. It’s a devotional focused on changing your mentality about food and focusing on Jesus as your source of comfort and “feasting” on the word of God. The book seriously changed my life. I start every year by doing the fast!

Im watching this on a monday night. I work 3rd. When i was going to sleep around 10am today, i kept hearing "" all of my fears like jerecho walls gotta come down come down" in my head. So i went to the scripture to read. Now i hear this message. Theres something here i need, and i bet many others do as well. Thank you for delivering the message!
God is not against me. He’s in it with me, working through me, fighting for me. Thank you so much Steve. It occurred to me today that God’s attitude towards us is in the word “come” he’s always leaving his arms open and doors open always…saying come. Come no matter what. Come as you are. You are always welcome. What a Good God we serve!!

Help me to love blindly, as You do, for You do not judge based on appearances but based on actions. Forgive me also, dear Lord, for my actions do not justify my lofty expectations. Everyday I aim to serve You better, starting today. Amen.

I’m hoping that the prayer/call to accepting Jesus in our hearts could be added at the end of the sermon videos?? I haven’t been to the main campus for a service but at Elevation Gaston we all are led in that prayer out loud for the sake of anyone who’s in the room and making the decision for the first time! I believe if Pastor Steven added that to the end of his sermons on the videos, that would continue the ripple effect even more! Just a thought, but thank you either way for such a powerful message, seems like everyone I talked to thought it was preached with them in mind! ❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful sermon Pator Steven! It really encourages me and lifted up my spirit! I will remind myself everyday onwards "God is not against me, but He's in it with me, working through me, fighting for me! " Amen! from the bottom of my heart ..thank you !
