Thank you pastor Steven for always reminding me that i am loved… I am not forgotten… Your words it gives me strength and encouragement…. Though sometimes I dont understand why things happen in my life… But thank YOU for reminding me… That God will never ever forsake me…..
Thank you pastor firtick I really needed this word my god is awesome blessing to you and your family
I cried. Steven Furtick my 6 year old son was diagnosed with high functioning Autism in 2017. Now my one year old son is being treated for Sensory Integration Disorder, as the doctor said they will not diagnose him with Autism before age 4. I felt this message in my soul. I cried. This is for me. Please pray for our family.
Satan has taken my 15 year old daughter away again. Father God please bring her back.
Amen the pastor speaks the word of god
I am inspired by your teaching sir. I pray to sit under your teaching
This message touched me really… Thank you Steven you speak to me.
The attack my marriage but today I heard this and have changed my story
Iv been watching these sermons for a little over 2 years when i started my journey back to God…sometimes its things that are hard to hear…but it always feeds my spirit…
I like at the end he said. I’m make it for your while. Shouldn’t God be doing that N sad message if u ask me. Seemed some psychological stuff not christ in your heart. I hope not n if so need prayed for
I understand the lesson in this passage, but I’m still very confused by it like I’ve been for a long time. The Bible says that God is good and that he called his creation good when he made it. There are many bible verses that show that God loves animals and that he cares for his creation. Pigs are innocent loving intelligent creatures that feel love and pain and can have relationships with themselves and even with people. Why then did he allow the demons to have what they wanted to torment the pigs and kill them? The pigs did nothing wrong. They were innocent. They were being pastured. The demons are bad. Yet Jesus chose to listen to the demons instead of protecting the pigs from the demon’s torment and death? There must be a good answer for this but I cannot find it. It hurts my heart and it makes me really confused when I read this as I love animals. Pastor, please explain this. Thank you.
This concept helps me alots
I need help, I’m called to become a future pastor who will travel the world and right now GOD is training me at my home but every time I read the Bible I would miss the point and when I woul try to practice perch to myself I would get stuck and confused GOD called me on a assignment this week but I’m not aloud to say I was trying to study but still can’t find what GOD wants me to say and idk what to ask him for to help me can you guys please pray for me thank you I love you All and GOD bless also prayer Goes out to everyone else in the comments and around the world
Been praying for a friend. If he ever chooses to be set free he will be a bulldozer of darkness and a path maker for light.
Thankx paster steve im from pakistan im uneder attack from one year every day but im praying reading bible every day as much as i can Jesus is with me thankx for you encouraging msg
So much liberty in this message !!!!
Thankx pastor STEVE
I’ve lost one. Then another then in April of 2019 a third son. This sermon reminded me that I should not be surprized by the fiery trials ect. And I’m a person who fits In the catagory that if ppl knew allllll I’ve been they and now going theu theybwould not believe it cause I’m still standing. And losing my sons make all
The other trammas pale in the face of losing my beloved sons who loved me fiercely and everyone else loved them
I know I’ll see them a Gain. But still ~< life is hard but I know god is good. All the time. And this is the kicker. “NO MAYer WHAT”
Love your videos
I was watching this video and YouTube gave me an ad to join the free masons the devil is attacking once again and I REBUKE that in the name of Jesus HALLELUJAH
How about interpreting the scriptures correctly? The fact that the people wanted Jesus to leave the area because the pigs died and that affected their livelihoods, and that they didnt care about Jesus's mercy, holiness, goodness, and power in delivering the demon possessed men, exposes their greed and selfishness, not how precious they are!!! Worst interpretation of scripture I've ever seen. Followers of Steven Furtick should beware.
yawn
The enemy is up in my grill, but I listen to your podcasts regularly to stay saturated in truth! Thank you for loving God’s Word and rightly dividing it!
I needed to hear this I’m constantly being attacked and to know that I still have a chance of having god forgive me is the only thing keeping me going. Keep up the good work.
This is exactly what I am facing at this moment.
Love your powerful messages.
This opened my eyes so much.
I shared with a friend in ministry who is being criticized by the community for preaching the gospel in creative ways (following socially distant protocols, i.e. outdoor worship). This video impacted her greatly and has provided us with a new perspective about spiritual attack and the enemy's anger with us continuing to spread the gospel! Thank you for following God's calling on your life, Pastor Furtick, and praise God for His anointing on you!! Preach on!!!!!
Thank you for this
Just had “one of them days” and I really needed this, I love you my Father in heaven ❤️

If God is all sovereign then it was Jesus that destroyed the demons in the pigs.

GREAT ANALOGY
Wow!
Sounds like the what the democrats are doing to the American people
Lord please help us all through enemy attacks amen
I feel like I have been attacked a lot. I maybe have gone stray for a while bet I will never loose faith again no matter what.
I saw this when I needed it the most ! ❤
Wow
Okay first of all. Why did you say that the scripture confused you, what was confusing about it? You immediately went on to preach a message that seemed pretty not confusing.
Second of all, timestamp 2:14, the demons don’t know anything about you, no cool power that you hold. You’re not special, you’re not strong. It is JESUS IN YOU. Nothing else. Do not give these people a sense of self reliance. There is nothing about me that is good, or promising, or even threatening to demons or the devil. It is Christ IN ME. HE is strong, HE is valuable, HE is powerful. That is why they tremble. Not because they see some cool power in me, they see Jesus!
