I love the scriptures that you say
My wife and I felt like as if though people who aren't as close to God as us are doing better than we are. People who haven't found Jesus appear to do better than us. People who have done horrible things. My wife wondered why is that happening. I assured her that God is making us better, that he loves us and wouldnt forsake us. We should be thankful for what we have, pray about it and be thankful that we get to struggle with a roof over our head, cars to get us to work, and food on our table and into our kids mouths with clothes on their backs. We're not rich at all, we live paycheck to paycheck while trying to save and we also tithe every paycheck. Best advice I can give is believe in him. Even though it seems like your failing more than those types of people, God is humbling you and blessing you in more ways than we may see at first with the naked eye. God has your back. Trust in him and continue to believe in him. Most importantly do not compare your lives to others because it will get worse. Believe in Jesus and stay focused for what he has planned for you.
This is soo true, i am getting better. i used to live in so much fear, so afraid of the world. I never really believed that God's plans for my life was for good, i thought it was only for certain people. Now i can finally breathe and Believe and Have Faith for great things. I see progress, i am at peace with Who God created me to be. God bless you all. We are indeed getting better.

"This is a season where He is fixing your grip.". Powerful. I trust and believe God is doing exactly that with my life and many others. Thank you for this message 🙏
Tears AGAIN!! I thank GOD every day for sending HIMSELF to me thru YOU!! I was (am) so lost, trying desperately to get back to meditation but couldnt find it in my heart. Then one day out of the blue, something (GOD) made me look at one of your messages and I am hooked! I love your way of speaking to my very situation with every message, I love the way you correlate the Bible to every day life. I love the way you make me know that I am NOT alone in the treacherous storm I am going thru. So YES I AM getting BETTER, calmer, more peaceful, more certain that I will come thru this and be a stronger person on the other side. I am looking for the GOOD, BEAUTY and BLESSINGS in each day again rather than swimming in darkness and doubt. I see now that GOD is WORKING on my situation THRU changing my perspective! It truly is all in how we see things and how we react to them. Again I say THANK YOU for just being YOU and sharing your beautiful gift of speaking GOD’s message so I can receive and understand it! I am BETTER and will continue forward!!☀️

But this sermon clearly shows me who I was and who I'm now with God. I'm better than before... Bless u Pastor!
I am CONVINCED I’m getting better!!!
Right here in my front room in my recliner watching you every Sunday morning
"i would rather have a better sense of appreciation than a better car" - life changing.
🙌🏽I’M GETTING BETTER LORD JESUS 🙌🏽
This message was definitely for me because I been thru so much pain, guilt, self pity, depression, etc. you name it! However, I realized now that God is molding me & perfecting me in God’s image. He is not done with me yet! I will overcome anything because I put my trust in the Lord. & to remain humble is the way to go, as well!!! So praise Jesus for this better life I have whether I am rich or poor, sick or well, etc. i will be still & let God be God. No matter what! Amen! & Amen!!! ~Shannen
I just prayed to God last few days about my situation I was confused because I felt like I'm going backwards now I know. God really moves in mysterious ways. Thank God I am enlightened through this🙏

We ended up getting bed bugs in the new house we just bought, never buy 2nd hand furniture from people you don't know lol.. So embarrassing, it's like a plague!! I was asking, God when is this going to get better?? And I realize, I own my own home, I have a career job, a great wife, great friends, one of whom actually is a pest control contractor, and he is fixing my problem for virtually nothing! Thank you Lord for changing my perspective!

I’m getting better BACKWARDS!!! Now, that’s A Word👏🏾👏🏾
Yes Pastor sometimes we go back because back feels better. Self pity.
Hang in there FOLKS it'll get better hopefully for Us ALL Amen.
Prayed to god to give me a good word from pastor Furtik so I searched “Steven furtik” and scrolled without looking and ended up at this video and man. It was the EXCACT word I needed to address what I’m struggling with right now. God is so good
Absolutely loved this. And totally needed it. Balling my eyes out in a parking lot watching in my car because I needed some hope. Thank you God for making us better!!! Thank you Steven and Holly and all of Elevation.
I'm getting better, in Jesus name prayer.
Wow, the truth is that some people go back to toxic situations because the thing that is better for them isn’t working or having an immediate effect as fast as the negative and toxic things!
Most definitely. As a Christian it doesnt seem to get better it gets worse. Never gets better just living.
3 years after preached, I needed to hear this in July of 2023! Amen 🙏
I'm getting better! Even though it feels like everything is going wrong, my God has plans for me, plans to prosper, for hope and a future!
God is greater than anybody or anything in the world
Needed this today so bad. GOD IS GOOD!!
Pastor Furtick, you are truly a man of God. Everytime I open KZread there is a sermon from you and it's never the same one, yet every time it is exactly what I need to hear. Stay humble and you will bring so many more lives to heaven than you already have (including mine). I grew up in church but when I got older I wanted nothing to do with it. But God led me to your video and I accepted Him finally. He has helped me through multiple impossible situations since then. Keep the faith!
I Recognize that God exists and Merry Christmas and God bless Everyone
Amen in jesus christ name god bless the world 🙏🙌💖
Better is relative you have to go back to understand better 🙌🏾
what could be better than a loving son , freely given to ALL....
I am getting better...Needed to hear this again...Thank you Father...
God is speaking to me so loudly. When you ask God for clarity and he speaks to me via this message! Our God is not a God of confusion! Ask and he will respond! LORD THANK YOU FOR BRINGING CLARITY!! Praise you Jesus!

This sermon is everything I needed to hear today🙌🙏God is always good and has better plans no matter the season of my life. Amen alleluia🙏🙌❤️
Yesterday was seriously draining, I have cried for almost 7 hours without pause. My heart was shattered, that I have to let go, something I wanna kept forever. Now I was slowly picking it all up, He is an anchor for my soul , therefore I don't have to worry about things.
You gotta go back to understand the better that God has brought you too!!!
Well things sometimes get worse before it gets BETTER!!!
Great word, God bless everyone 😇🙌🏼👐🏼!
When I think about people on the Bible that when tested by God and who's purpose was harder I think there must be a huge reward for what they did. I think if I had purpose like that I would ask God for all my family and friends both living and not ...to go to heaven. And I imagine if it's God's will it will happen and God says his will for us is better than we can imagine. And let's face it bad is way easier. Take the hard road it's worth it. Better to God is more than you can imagine amen Pastor Steven yes what afflicted me made me. God made me. I'm happy with who I am now. I sing praises with my budgies every morning! And God has protected his children from unseen forces. All along God is greatest Amen Praise you Lord Jesus
Everyday in EVERYWAY my life is getting Better and Better❤ With God on our side , how can we lose....😁 In God, we already won💡
