    My son passed away 10 yrs 2 months and 9 days ago. I have learned to live with it. At times it comes out like a ton of bricks to my heart. This was one of those days. I was searching the web and your sermon popped up.Thank you for this word from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My son's name was Julius, he would always tell me "mama it really doesn't matter, this too shall pass, it'll be something else in a minute. It is like Jesus allowed Julius to speak to me through your sermon. After hearing your sermon all I could do was smile with tears in my eyes, and remember I'll see my son again on the other side. I looked up to see when this sermon was published, August 28th his birthday, he would have been 30 yrs. on August 28th 2018. Thank you Pastor Furtick, Thank you Our Heavenly Father God. My Jullius would have liked you Pastor Furtick! I listen to you often on Christian television. May God continue to Bless U and Yours.

    The ‘Imagination’ part really hit me. it honestly made me cry. ive been living with guilt. ive been puking for days, cant eat, cant sleep. i just end up crying & worrying about my future. God has already taken this guilt away from me the moment i said ‘Forgive me Lord’ but its been so hard for me because i know ive been lying my life saying i believe in God when i didn’t even try to change myself for him just because i couldnt see what He has done for me . i let the devil turn my playground into a battle field without realizing.. He is here for me .. im ready to take Him in.. But ive been so scared to let Him in..

    Man, this sermon is so on point from start to finish! When he started talking about intake on the phone I just had a huge smile on my face. I just did about a 3 week fast from all social media and it was amazing! I was always so consumed by scrolling through my FB feed every single day, and when I did the fast I was always looking for something else to do. It really sets your mind free if you give things like that a try, and replace them with more important things. It gives you more time to pray, exercise, study, read, spend time with family, and soooo much more! I loved this sermon, Pastor Steven!!

    On point aside from 12:30 when he says you can't pray anxiety away. Phillipians chapter 4 the apostle Paul says to be anxious for nothing, but in everything to present your request to God which would be PRAYER and the PEACE of God will guard your hearts and minds. Now I don't know if I'm the only one who can say this but I've never had any peace in my life while I'm in the grips of anxiety. You absolutely can pray against anxiety. Pray with faith EXPECTING God to do something and it will be done so long as we seek his will above all else. Don't put God in a box!

Please pray for me for mental and physical healing in Jesus's name. I am always worried something is wrong with me. I put Jesus in my heart but the devil keeps whispering in my head and tells me look up your symptom.. it could be deadly, it could be life threatening. This anxiety is an on going battle. I will diet and exercise and pray. Please pray for me as well in time of fear and anxiety. Amen in Jesus's name.

    I have been sooooo anxious the past few weeks and one of my prayers was Psalms 139:23-24 (for God to show me, ME). When I heard this sermon I was so thankful because I knew then that the Lord heard my prayers. It was funny that you said, " If you're good at worrying, you'll be even better at worship". You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! It seemed like the more I worried, the HARDER I'd worship lol. Anyway, thanks for revisiting this topic because so many of us need this right now! May God continue to bless you, your family, and your ministry.

    Pastor Steven, your sermons on Anxiety are changing my life...very very drastically. Its as if I am face-to-face with my Lord and Savior as He ministers His will through your God ordained preaching. I am 62 and have spent most of my life alone, the last 20 years very alone and lonely, sad, and depressed, and not who God created. Praise God for following the Lord and changing our lives. I have been wanting God to change my outlook on life, but I now have life changing relevation that God has been waiting for me to stay close to Him and He will and has grabbed my hand and pulled me back in. I have a vision of a wonderful future, which includes getting back to leading worship, and being the kid God created me to be. I have missed God and I have missed me.

    I am an ordained minister. I came down with shingles on my face 3 years ago. I still have the pain 24/7 and it has had an effect on my ability to minister. But Ps 139 has been a great inspiration to me! I refuse to be anxious about my future! Every day I get out of bed, put one foot in front of the other and go through the day. It's amazing how the pain decreases during the day as I choose to move forward trusting God, fixing my thoughts on Him, and not my circumstances!

    Yes I get very discouraged and unmotivated not knowing where to start or what to study I get lost in the Bible and I like when someone explains to me. I learn better. And the pastor here does that for me. Even sometimes I get so sad and don't read the Bible but I put these sermons to help and I sleep beautifully and wake up with knowledge like my heart listens and learns even by listening.

    This message was so awesome. There were 7 points total. Two of which resonated: Integrity and Indecision. Pastor Furtick hit the nail dead on the head, and since we're all family, I'll share this with you. For me, it has been a lack of integrity that has kept me from both my purpose, AND the blessings that God has for me within my purpose. The many versions of me that I allow to exist in different realms literally smother the me that God has called forth to death. When you lack integrity as a child of God, shame follows! You feel ashamed when you know better, but you aren't DOING better. Shame is an assassin when it comes to your purpose in Christ. It will silence you, kill your gifts, and keep you from reaching any and every soul assigned to your purpose. I feel as if that is MY main reason for being so indecisive; because I know what i need to do, but I'm carrying the shame of what I chose to do because my integrity is not at the level that it should be. God spoke this to me months ago, and here it is again in this message: DECIDE. Pick. Choose. Choose ye this day whom you will serve. Anxiety brought on by my very own sins makes choosing seem impossible, but it's not. I know that once I control my Intake, my mind will be free of the garbage taking up space that's alloted for God and HIS purpose for me.

    Very articulate..my spiritual mentor once said "God deals with what's in the dark before he brings it to the light"..in other words He'll tell you to change something, don't do this, leave that person or thing alone etc . Just between you n Him. But if we don't then He'll expose it..not to shame us..."IT" is the shame but to grow us into perfection. Its out of love. So, how are you now???

    Your belief system is the source of your attitude. Change the way you think firat and belief you can accomplish your goals. Attitude determines your limitations and your belief system determines how far you go. Philosophy is a product of your ideas. You can manage your thinking through sorting yoyr thoughts. If you can think right, you can cover yourself in the name of Jesus Christ who protects you a d cares for all your burdens. Blessed are the pure in heart and the pure in spirit. Thank you Pastor Steve Furtick for this teaching. Praise God! Glory to God!

What do you want from me now, as for me and my house, we will serve the lord, so go back to the dessert where you belong. I struggled with anxiety to the point that I felt like life was getting sucked away from me, but I have overcome. Thanks to the Lord all mighty, he can not control my mind and inflict fear anymore, if God is with us, who can be against us. Bless you pastor and all your efforts to help us with the word 🙏🏼

    I am so thankful for your sermons. Ironically enough I started listening them at night time because I had crippling anxiety and panic attacks happening. I needed to get to a place of peace and who better to look to for peace than God? Unfortunately, during these panic attacks and through all my worry I could not focus on God or reading the Bible on my own because my thoughts and fears were drowning out what I was trying to read. I had seen you speak a few times in clips on IG and FB so I looked you up on here and it was definitely the right move. God used and is using you to help changed my head and my heart and I now see hope where I felt hopeless and lost. God bless you for His works through you!

Lol At 28 years old, I would've NEVER thought I would be the kind of woman to tell my husband I want to be able to take a 3-4 week long 'vacation' just so I can come and visit your church on both Sundays and Wednesday. And whenever else you guys have anything going on...including when you have revival!! Lol We were able to see Elevation Worship in Bossier City, La and let me tell you, they are just AMAZING!! I've never had a worship experience quite like that!! 🙌🏼❤️ But seriously, my husband and I have grown within our marriage, life, kids, faith, and in our church (which btw went to C3 and saw you speak and said it was SO AWESOME!! ((Journey Church in Pineville, La)) so much because of hearing God's word from not only our pastor, but from you and your wife!! I get 'something' from every. single. sermon you guys preach no matter what it is. Love you guys and your church!! ❤️❤️

God led me to it today when I was suddenly extremely anxious but not even knowing exactly why. I usually get in the Word and in prayer and worship when I get anxious, but this bout with doubt or whatever you want to call it today was so bad I couldn't even do that very well. I was in a real state of distress -- just as the enemy wants it. Listening to this has absolutely reset me. Thank you Lord! - (and also thank you Pastor, for being faithful and obedient to Him).
