Why You Put Yourself Down | Steven Furtick
Don’t diminish what God put in you.

I am so glad that God brought you Steve Furtick and elevation church in my life. I am finally seeing God as my loving Father in heaven and that He is for me and not against me. My husband that I prayed for for 30 yrs, never wanted to come to church with me. Since Covid , we have found you on line and he gets up every Sunday and he turns elevation church on KZread! Praise the Lord! You have been a huge blessing to both of us . Just wanted to say thank you ! We love you all! From Saint John new Brunswick, Canada!

I'm enough because I'm made in the image of God almighty! 🙏
"barely getting the to-do list on a good day" i felt that one:(
I have this problem of spreading the gospel. I always overthink like “what if they don’t care” “what if they don’t listen” “nobody ever cares when I say it”. It’s really discouraging. This really helped me
This message really hit home for me. Lately I have been questioning what impact I am making and my trauma. I don’t dismiss what other people have been through or try to top them instead I shrink the size of what I been through after hearing other people’s situations. I can now see that God determines what is small and big. The physical abuse I endured doesn’t mean that my life will be easier but it does give me purpose.
I don't always feel comfortable going to a church but watching these videos are so helpful for me so thank you!🙏🏽
"Of all the ink God needed to use to write the bible. He wanted to make sure you knew it was small stuff he blessed and multiplied." Beautiful.

Did Google realise that I was Googling “why it feels like my feelings are invalid”? Or was the Holy Spirit at work the whole time? Did God somehow see how low I was just a few hours ago crying whilst Promises my Maverick City was playing in the background? Because if so, then I refuse to believe me God is not alive and living. So thankful for this message. 🙏🏾

When you talked about how a little word can really make someone's day really helped me. I've been trying to be nice even when I don't feel like it and I really don't know how I'm affecting people much ,but then you said not to count and let God count it. That gave me a lot of encouragement and allowed me too realize that I can't give people something looking for something in return. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you.

Without God We Are Nothing only Jesus Can Make Us Happy
This entire thing just hit like 10 different things in my life!
Never diminish another's pain or fear. Hear them, it's all they are seeking from you. Hear them receive them with love. No comparisons. Small or large is all a matter of perspective but never to be discounted. Not touching, no face time with others, not seeing the expressions when another speaks is a very difficult experience and it does have negative consequences on both our physical and mental health. I am getting through this time with God, but it has been hard. Maybe not as hard on me as it is on someone accustomed to daily social face time with touching and visible expressions and interactive activity. No online communication will ever adequately supplement the one on one interactions in person that God intended for humans.
I fell over laughing when he started talking about “toppers” .... “You won a trophy, they won a Grammy, you have a house, they have a neighborhood” 😂😂😂😂 god bless this man. 😂😂🙏🏽
This one gave me chills 🔥
Read his word.. His word will save you and deliver you!!!!!!
Toppers... is the reason why I hold my words of experience to myself.
i am enjoy my time with God. i am not alone.God is with me.i am happy.i am sorry if i have hurt anyone.it is never my attention to ever hurt anyone.
Steven is always coming through with the messages.
I AM GREAT AT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE AND THEY SAY I REALLY HELPED. I'M EVEN BETTER AT PUTTING MYSELF DOWN. STRUGGLED WITH SELF LOATHING, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY... I'VE HAD SUCCESS WHEN I PRAY CONSISTENTLY AND TELL MYSELF WHO I AM-CHILD OF GOD🙌🙌🙌🌈. FEELS GREAT TO BE PART OF YOUR CHURCH. I WATCH EVERYDAY. GETS ME THRU DARK MOMENTS. WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU OUT WITH WHAT EVER YOU NEED IF I CAN HELP. I'M LIMITED, NO CAR OR MUCH $ JUST WI FI AND THE PASSION FOR JESUS 🙏🌈

Amen such a great word 🙏🏽🙌🏾👏🏽
Now listen, I've been thinking on the loaves and the fishes story all day. And how, I could be going to the food pantry for my son and I. And when a friend was in need, we always seemed to have enough to send with them, and still had plenty for ourselves. Mathematically that should have never happened. Let alone this be true between about 4 or 5 of us. 2 of us were helping, while we needed help. 3 others needed it. We always ended up being able to manage for everyone with God's help. 🙏
His mom gave him the best advice!
A seed indeed. I’m glad you reminded me of the things I consider “small” are sacred because God put it in me. And the “small” things that are not good in God’s eyes are indeed big.

Amen to that! We can often get misguided by our perceptions of how big or small something is here in the world but forget that it is not how big or small we see something but how big or small our God in Heaven sees it. ^SF Team
Save my soul. Bring me joy and peace. I will not live in bondage. I am free
"it's the small that He blesses and multiplies" i feel so bad because i feel i don't spend enough time with God as if there's some sort of time quota i need to fulfill be the end of the day. if i don't do this, that, and the third, i feel like i failed, even though i did x amount of other things throughout my day. any time with God should be treasured because time with God is relative.
Best thing that happened to me was finding this channel online.
You never let anybody down that's looking for a good sermon a powerful Pastor giving God's word and delivering it every single time that I watch your channel on KZread I am never disappointed I'm always in my living room praise and God as if I'm right there in you guys' Church thank you very very much for pastoring to the whole world and amen to sermon again and thank you again

We need to be careful how we speak to others and ourselves. Thanks for the reminder Pastor Steven Furtick. ❤
This past week I had negative words say about me. Then I was saying positive things to others but negative words you try to do things at a great farm of organization and I was putting myself down. Let me tell you something I'm beautiful unique ☺️ and smart parson god see me as his child thanks for the message 😍
Was blessed by this message. Thank you Lord.
When I say what is my experience is to be more open to my history as a part of testimony of a long journey to where we all are now.
Thank you for this Pastor Steven. I was battling this in the past months. I was 16 years old and I was aiming for perfection just to receive praises and compliments from people and friends and that the time I doubt myself. You just said that "you downplay yourselves in order to feel safe" (not the exact words actually) that hit me hard and I realize that I was dwelling on that thought. And then I decided that starting from this day I should not fear anyone nor underestimate myself for Jesus Christ is with me. Thank you again and God bless.
