Pastor Furtick, I stumbled on your sermons about a year ago. Broken..addicted. In despair. I surrendered. Finally! After growing up in a Baptist church and then running from God for years and years, I surrendered. I submerged myself in the Word of God, and your sermons, and those of a few others, and in ONE year, The Mighty God we serve has truly transformed my life. Thank you for what you do for the Kingdom. It matters. I am a life saved, and now, I go to the county jails, and share my testimony of The Grace, Mercy and Transformation Power, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God Bless you and Keep you.
Kayci, your message here is so close to my own recent testimony. Pastor Furticks messages came to me one day when I was in a losing battle and was what I believe God used to strengthen my Faith and get me back up on my feet and take back control of myself and surrender all of me to Jesus AGAIN and I this newly built version that God created in me is worth ALL of it. Every day I listen to whatever sermons are on my feed and that is always the message(s) I need for the day. I am SO BEYOND GRATEFUL for Pastor Furtick and his ministry. So blessed to be able to be apart of it with you all. Kayci, keep growing and may we meet one day 😉 you have my extended support and love and encouragement! With God All things are Possible (Matthew 19:26)
PLEASE. Never send back to the vault. I've been sending this to people since I first seen this sermon. It changed my life. And there are so many people who have depression and anxiety etc. And they justify it on a multitude of things. When we all just need more humility. This is the best representation of how to overcome this. Thank you.
Me too. I have to say this happens a lot with me. I love when I pray and then it's a message that Steven preaches that week. Then I know this man is speaking for the Holy spirit. God bless.
Ahhhhhmazing! God is so good! This has happened to me many times with Elevation Church. There's no doubt in my mind that Pastor Steven shares God's message to us all! Much ❤
Amen standing in agreement for depression and anxiety and evil thoughts of death to flee now in JESUS name, thank you LORD by your stripes we are healed,you shed your blood, and took it all for us, Holy,Holy,Holy are you LORD
@@eviewalkswithhim1296 I needed this so much! I have goosebumps head to toe. I've ended up in the ER twice in the last 3 months for panic attacks. The last two days I've been in a funk. I had bursts of random uncontrollable crying spells yesterday. I know it was depression and anxiety. Thank you Evie! So much! God bless you! ❤🙏🏼❤
Amen! I struggle with anxiety so much. It seems like a never ending battle. In recent years I have been trying to change my thinking of myself. For years since I was younger I struggled with negative thoughts and anxiety now I'm 26 but I'm believing for complete healing! Our peace of mind was upon him on that cross and I will not quit the fight! 💛
Despite of the controversy in the past, I still believe he is an annointed preacher. You can feel it in his preachings. And the pressure of the megachurch he's leading... the hand of God might really be upon him.
jessa camille lacsamana Amén sister! I feel his joy , his words touch my heart n soul. His preaching are a gift to us all. I love how Pastor Steven is spreading the flow! Amen
@@chiquitabee1 a gift i never asked, which makes it more amazing! Still looking forward to the second part of this. Hope they will let it out of the vault, too!
I don't know people can put each other in a bad mood I know there's a lot of people who piss me off and put me in a bad mood and the only thing that helps is to punch them in the face
I just prayed yesterday for God to heal my mind and and my heart. When you say "the heart that makes me wanna die.. " it really hit home. I suffer terribly with depression and anxiety 😢Listening to your sermons really get me through the dark days and give me hope. You are such an AMAZING pastor. I thank God for placing it in your heart to do this. I can't imagine my life without Elevation and the best pastor I have ever encountered..Pastor Steven Furtick... Thank you a million times thank u!!! 😍🙏🙌 may God continue to use u and allow you to keep being a blessing and honestly...a life saver for people like me who need need this so desperately...
@Kandii Williams you are special, you are loved and depression even if it came with a thousand other evils it can never overcome you because the one who loves you (Jesus Christ) overcame all of them at the cross.... Just keep on rehearsing the power of the cross and the blood, and depression will show itself out.
Amen! Such a Blessed True Needed word for me also. I also am struggling and I thank God that he uses people like Pastor Furtick to encourage us. To bring healing and hope!
Staff at Elevation: My husband texted me the link to listen to the "Ghosted" message and said I needed to listen to it. I downloaded it and headed out the door to listen to it as I drove around running errands. I got about 10 minutes into it and said, "nope, nope, nope," and turned it off. I need to be sitting at a table/desk with my journal taking a million notes. I needed this sermon so bad!!! 🥰
Do not believe everything you think. When you blame another for your (re)ACTIONS, you empower 'them' by making them the decision-makers of your responses. Own your actions and (re)actions.
May God Bless all of you have a Blessed and wonderful day❤️🙏🏽Praise and thank our Almighty Lord always, He can do all things, put your trust in Him. for example I was heart broken a week ago and after i Prayed To God i felt so much better right away. God can heal every heart❤️🙏🏽
This message may be old but it’s right on time for me. I’m so in awe how God does what He does, how He meets us right where we are. Thank you you Pastor Steve for releasing this message.
Because if they made me mad and if they put me in a bad mood then I'm stuck. There's nothing I can do. If traffic put me in a bad mood, if my job put me in a bad mood. See it's in our inner words. We don't want to take ownership and responsibility then we won't be able to guard our heart. Because we've given someone else the key to our joy. Therefore situations and people cannot make me and did not make me. An outside experience won't make me change who I am to such a degree, to any degree that it changes my heart. God has the key to my heart. You can't guard what you don't own. So I'm guarding my heart because I own it whoop whoop 🎉🙌👏😄
Mr Furtick, your sermons helped me find the strength to keep praying and worshipping my first few days sober after trying to quit for over 2 years. I’m 20 days sober today. I thank Jesus Christ for using you and for your obedience to Him. I’m covering you, your wife and children under the Blood of Jesus Christ♥️
I'm rewatching this 5 years later and finally I am learning how to own and control my emotions. Watching this sermon with fresh eyes, from the other side of victory! This, for me, is evidence that I've grown and I am so grateful to God for working on me. 😊😊😊 Thank you for pulling this one out of the vault, Pastor Steven!
I was up all night dealing with everything you talked about in this sermon. I prayed God would send me a word and woke up to this message. Thank you Pastor Furtik 😊🙏🏾💪🏾
It's your property. You gotta own it and guard it👏👏👏👏 Own your dysfunction. If you feel discouraged say I'm discouraged but I'm choosing to encourage myself because I have ownership over my emotions. Hallelujah 👏👏👏
This is for me. I had a situation yesterday that came up against me. This is God I just happened to open youtube and the title slapped me in the face. Thanks Pastor Steve thanks for listening and discerning the voice of the Lord🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Because I don't need you to teach people how to never be in a bad mood. I just need you to teach them how to swing it the other way when it comes before it drags them down and takes them out and cost them time. Amen
I go through this on a daily! I’m so glad you blessed me with this message! I don’t forgive easy when people do me wrong but I am tired of torturing myself for others wrong doings! I’m quick to assume the worst or take things in the worst way possible! I needed this 🙏. I’m trying to learn how to communicate my feelings without the anger that comes with it or not take anything personal. I know it will be a long road! Hopefully my relationship will survive on this journey! So thank you for showing me the way!
I've struggled with the same thing for what seems like my entire life. You're not alone sister! I constantly have to remind myself that all is well with my soul! God bless you!
I hang on to Pain/Hurt/..So much..and for So long..!its so hard for me to just let go..!i’l Feel Better/Encouraged/Motivated/..and Forgive..but go right back at it..!Deep..!its like am in a Circle..!!God Bless..you!by putting it out there..and Now your gonna be fine..!❤️🙏
This is me as well. Every time me and my husband argue I’m always the one to apologize first. So this last time... I’ve been waiting for him to say something first. It’s been two whole days. So I came to the conclusion if he’s going to stay made so will I but it’s so heavy. This message was right on time. I’m in control of my emotion. My joy of my job.
If your attitude is a result of the character of God and not a result of your circumstance, watch what you can do, you can swing that thing in the other direction hallelujah ➡️⬆️
pastor furtick, it was a broken hearted situation that led me to your sermons back in 2017. Since then, your sermons has helped me get through those toughest times and slay the giants. there are lots of preachers out there but you're the one God anointed for me, for God used you to save a broken hearted girl like me and i believe many more globally. My prayers and my blessings are with you, your fam and the elevation Church. love from India
I found pastor Furtick maybe about six years ago after praying for a message from God. There it was. I stumbled across a message. I have listened, watched and learnt a lot over the past years on Facebook and on TH-cam. I pray that God continues to use you. Your sermons make my days easier. There is always something God is saying. ❤️ Thank you 🙏🏽
Jesus Christ @pastor Steven u don't kno how ur messages are a big ,big ,big ,big blessing to me and the people that I share them with , thank you lord for bringing this man on my phone screen I don't wanna miss abit of his preachings because they add something in my life spiritually Who else grows spiritually strong like me whenever he listens and watches pastor's preachings ????
You have no idea the importance of the timing of this message. Two months ago, we got our 13yr old grandson because our daughter is trying to get ahold of addictions. He is very angry at the drop of a hat and seems to find joy at pushing us to a breaking point. He has been a part of our Sunday watch parties and really likes you, Pastor Furtick. We will enjoy watching this as a family for growth.
Pastor, thank you for being a man after God's own heart. I am humbled, grateful and inspired by your ministry! (Hi Holly❤). My children and I started attending Elevation Greensboro after watching you online for a while. September 2019 my 16 yr old son was shot with an AR15 assault rifle mistaken for someone else. As u can imagine I was broken but I stood strong and told Satan YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY SON'S LIFE! MY son lives today! I brought him to Elevation after he was released from the hospital. He couldn't walk. During worship we were singing I see a victory, my son stood up and allowed the spirit of the Lord to fall down on him! My children love Elevation!!! My nieces and nephew now come with us every Sunday. Continue to do what you do for God. You make a difference!!
This came to me after hearing some hard words to take in. I know that it wasn't no one but the Lord speaking to me. 🙌🏿 I have to learn to control my emotions! 🙏🏿 Lord help me please because I'm a very emotional person. I know I can change with hard work and dedication... 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿 God is working on me for the better. Thank so much @StevenFurtick you've blessed me with so many helpful sermons. That has better me to become an wise young lady! God bless you and your family, continue to bless people all over the word your powerful man!!! 🙏🏿❤🙌🏿
I am going through a challenging season right now and the Holy Spirit says to me, "You letting your neighbour into your apartment when you let him into your mind." My new neighbour has been intimidating me since he moved in above me. I stumble (I say that lightly) on this sermon, Pastor Steven and you said one phrase that is almost word for word what the Holy Spirit said to me 5 days ago. This sermon was shared 4 years ago. I am watching this on 14th June 2024. This has happens often and it is only your sermons that I receive these confirmations. One day, I will shake you warmly by the hand or give you a big hug! God bless you and keep being an obedient servant to the LORD.
Definitely needed this message! Needed to be reminded that I am in control of my emotions, I’m the driver of them and need to own up! Guarding my heart and being more mindful of the things that I let flow through it is my new focus! Thanks Pastor!
If you insist on saying what you feel eventually you feel what you say. Own your emotions, your joy is your job. Guard your heart. If you own it you can control it. Take control of your soul! I will praise Him. Tune in truth. If you put my Word in your heart your joy will overflow. Change the concentration. Pastor, I thank God for the wisdom our Lord bestows upon you, because you share that blessing with all of us. So that we receive it. We are a lucky people to have a man like you devoted to God and His people. Thank you for thinking big, thank you for thinking back, thank you for moving us as a church forward. Praise God.
Pastor Steven! I really do appreciate when you share messages throughout the week, and they always fit with what I’ve been needing! Please continue to share more messages throughout the week! It keeps me going!
Proverbs 4:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. Some of you have been so focused on the past you've drained all if tour strength for this present moment. Some of you are so worried about the future that you can't do what you need to do now to secure your future that you are so worried about. But he said, let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Concentrate!
Dear pastor furtick I am actually a part of life point Church led by my pastor Daniel and you're part of it too we've loved having you speak at our church and that's what led me to come and listen to your sermons also to get that extra dose of God that I need in my life and I just went in to say that I appreciate The vault sermon I needed to hear it again there's always things that the Lord shows me that I can do better and I just wanted you to know that I appreciate hearing this message again because I needed to hear it
I was having a bad day yesterday, however I prayed to God to help me control my emotions to be more like him each day! Today, this morning I see this! God is so good! Also, a year ago I was diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) with the help of your sermons it healed me and gave me a better perspective on life and how to let God control each day. Thank you so much! May God continue to use you! I hope to meet you one day, to thank you in person.
Amazing Paster Steven! All the years I spent going to church and barely learned anything because I was too immature to care for The Word... Young people, listen... READING the word and BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP with God is SO important! It will be the best thing you’ll ever do. Life is probably all good now; but it will hit you sooner or later. YOU NEED THE WORD TO SURVIVE! Trust me. Peace, Positivity, & Love to you ALL
The way your mind feels is as a result of what you concentrate on. See the storm was raging before Peter got out of the boat ⛵ and whilst he was walking towards Jesus on water and transending the elements so he went from a boat that was about to drown him towards a saviour who can sustain him, he remembers he is not supposed to be able to do this because the stormnhad been raging before he God out of the boat and the storm kep raging when he got out if the boat so the circumstance didn't change but when Peter broke his concentration. When you let things brake your concentration on the things God has given you to be greatful for, andbwhen you let life break your concentration, your soul will always sink beneath the surface. Waw Word📖
The way my day started, it doesn't have to be the same way it will finish...Amen🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 this one is a light to begin with my day. Your sermons are always on time. Pastor Steven, You are a blessing and an amazing preacher. Thank you so much and God bless you
Yeees! This was the very first sermon I saw from you Pastor and instantly I knew that God had sent you're mighty anointed messages straight to my spirit to bless my life!!! 🙌🙌🙌 that was three and a half years ago I have shared your messages with so many wonderful Saints. I am very proud to call you my pastor!! 😇😇😇😇
Im newer to your online family. Your messages are simply inspiring. I just can't get enough. You have changed my life & my Outlook. Can't thank you enough. Keep up the good fight! GOD bless you all. PS yes please for more from the vault.
I don't listen to pastor furtick as often as i should. But when I do it always amazes me how his sermons coinside with what I have going on in my life at that particular time. This sermon opened my eyes as well as brought tears to them. I needed to hear this today. Thank you for your work.
This is fantastic! I have been place that I have been allowing my emotions to drive me into some funky places and begin to lose hope in some things. Just before receiving the notifications about this message I was praying about how I was feeling...and Bam....this message came up! God is so good. Love your messages. I start every day with one! Blessings!!
This was a great sermon. I want to hear more. Oh my goodness I didn't realize you take them down. I went to my "folder"and some sermons I listen to are now gone😢. They help so much to hear over and over. Thank you for pulling this one out of the vault. God bless you and your family.
This is a very meaningful message. I Listened and watched this on the way to work. It was amazing. I even listen to your videos when I workout. Here in Albany Ga I am in need of a church/pastor and you’re the closest I can get to it. I learned a lot from this.
Notes: "Little Is Much When God Is In It" Scriptural Reference: John 15:11 Jesus and Joy are not opposite In order to endure what He suffered, Jesus chose joy = your emotions and mind deceive you How to control your emotions: Your mood can control how you live in faith Proverb 4:18-23 "Above all else, Guard Your Heart..." Heart = attitude/mind/thought Attitude = is the reflection of our mind Everything you do flows from your heart; you can't just let everything in or believe everything you think = careful of what you see, hear,think = what's in your heart comes out your mouth and goes back in your heart = eventually you feel what you say and be your own victim To guard your heart, you must own your emotions = take ownership of your temper = don't be childish = when you give someone power to influence you, you have the choice = you have to be accountable for your actions Your Joy is Your Job; take ownership of your emotions = your can't blame influence of the atmosphere on how you execute your emotions Psalm 42:11 = own your emotions, confess to God and He'll give you control of what happens within = when you have ownership you tell it what to do; you're accountable "You can't control what is around but you can control what's within..." Change Your Concentration = concentrate on your state of mind = your attitude reflects your attention = your frustration reflects your fixation When you are in a storm (like Peter), the circumstance doesn't change but when he lost focus on Jesus, he began to sink = your mood, thinking, and direction are result of what you're focussed on Proverb 4:24-25 = you have to change your concentration by the Water of the Word of God
My wife and I wanted to thank you for such a very well put explanation of that parable thank you for taking the time to do that it opened up that just opened up a whole new meaning to that proverb that we never even considered before we actually just prayed and reviewed all evil from our relationship just over what you described so from my family to yours God bless you my brothers and sisters in Christ in Jesus name amen
Thank you for this Pastor Steven! This is answered prayer! My sons struggle with handling their emotions and I know this will help them. Keep doing what you do! We love you, and God bless!
I have my iphone filled with notes from your sermons! Never stop! never feel discouraged. God is changing peoples lives through you pastor. God bless you and your ❤️!
Pastor, this was the right word for the right time in Bangkok Thailand. My emotions were all over the place today though I tried to emoticonceal it! May God continue to bless you real good.
I’m in a marriage thats not working and hasn’t for awhile. I’m always protecting those around me but never myself. After hearing this, I’m in tears of knowing just how important I am in Gods eyes and how broken I became in my own eyes. I’m in WA with people panicking around me with the virus spread. Thank you for my soul today! I will learn to listen to myself from now on. Great preaching 😃 emoji back at ya
Please keep bringing these jewels out of the vault! Those of us that are newer to Elevation didn't get to hear them the first time around. And I need as many as I can get! 💕
It's almost unreal. I was affected by your message re. THE HEART! It moved me out of my feelings into truth (made me happy again). I attend a church which has dynamic messages too. Pastor Tim Brock, Christ Community Church in Alamogordo New Mexico. Look him up! Anyway your messages are up there!! Thank you
yes, Pastor Steven, please PLEASE post this sermon--every single day. just because... Guard your heart. Thank you, Pastor Steven. PLEASE post more sermons!
I cannot begin to explain how much I needed this for what I'm going through last night. I talked my sister's ear off last night and prayed about it before going to sleep. This video popped up in my feed and I clicked it. No such thing as a coincidence. ♥️
Thank you for being obedient to Gods calling on your life. So often we have no idea how our obedience affects others, but today I live to see what God will do in my life next. Steven, you are transparent, incredibly gifted, and wise beyond your years. Because you choose a life of service you are a blessing to the rest of us. Thank you Holly, only a great woman of God can stand beside a pastor/ husband who fulfills his calling.
That is exactly what I needed!! Thank you for being so REAL AND TRANSPARENT!!! Everytime I listen to your sermons (and I listen multiple times a day) I feel like God uses You to speak to me. Thank God for you and your family and your ministry. Bless them Lord, In Jesus name.
This entire vault series is what I’ve been struggling with in my journey. I’ve been stressing about it bad and all I do is ask God to “ get me out my feelings” and all I can say is that he may not come when you want him but he’ll be there right on time “!!!!
Pastor Steven I pray you continue to open the vault. I have spent a lifetime with my heart unguarded, but now with this powerful message I realize what God wants me to do moving forward. God Bless you and the work you and your entire Elevation Family do in the name of Jesus.🙏
My vote is a resounding Yes! to more videos from the vault. This sermon was packed with God’s powerful word. It was a topic that I had discovered myself recently because I wasn’t guarding my heart. Placing blame on the circumstances instead of owning my emotions. This sermon tied the puzzles pieces together now I have the bigger picture. I am hungry for more sermons from the vault, my cup wants to over flow. Thank you Pastor Furtick.
Pastor and Holly are my favorites to share because they are so engaging and relatable... the people I love the most can always be reached with humor. Radically different from the somber, reverent messages we were raised with in a devout faith.
i watch these videos everyday all day so keep them coming. I used to go to bed and watch netflix but now I watch Pastor Steven Furtick. God is so good. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Bring back the vault and the other past messages! I chance upon Pastor Steven teachings here on TH-cam just a couple of months ago and they have been such a great blessing to me! I believe that all his teachings and messages should not be restrict to time and space as our Lord is outside time and space and his words are timeless. I believe all his messages will continue to bless and speak to people from around the world just as they have spoken to me, who is studying in Singapore. I look forward to hearing more messages from the past. ❤️
THE PEOPLE NEED THE REST OF THE SERIES....ITS ME...IM THE PEOPLE
Wow..what a massage. What a timing. I'm the people tooooo😍😍😍😌😌😌😌
Yes please!!
Latisha Wakenya Me 3!!! We need the series! The message. I need a full glass of “ Joy” Not the blues!
Next one please! 😍
Please Pastor this was so good!!
The blue in the water disappeared when the cup was overflowing.
Your joy will overflow so that any bitterness will escape with the water.

And there are so many people who have depression and anxiety etc. And they justify it on a multitude of things. When we all just need more humility.

I just prayed for the lord to help me control my emotion litterally last night lol next morning this sermon pops up. I said ok lord lol you got me💛

You have no idea how big of a blessing your preaching is
Freaking have to deal with my family first which is a faking headache
Not faking stupid phone
Despite of the controversy in the past, I still believe he is an annointed preacher. You can feel it in his preachings. And the pressure of the megachurch he's leading... the hand of God might really be upon him.
jessa camille lacsamana Amén sister! I feel his joy , his words touch my heart n soul. His preaching are a gift to us all. I love how Pastor Steven is spreading the flow! Amen
@@chiquitabee1 a gift i never asked, which makes it more amazing! Still looking forward to the second part of this. Hope they will let it out of the vault, too!
"He put me in a bad mood"... "what are you a goldfish?..did they scoop you up and put you in the bad mood bowl?" 😂😂😂😂😂 I love this!
HAHAHAHAH me too
Definitely one of the best lines I've heard in a long time!
I don't know people can put each other in a bad mood I know there's a lot of people who piss me off and put me in a bad mood and the only thing that helps is to punch them in the face
You just me so much
The Lakewood Church family would like to wish Pastor Steven Furtick, a very happy birthday!
I just prayed yesterday for God to heal my mind and and my heart. When you say "the heart that makes me wanna die.. " it really hit home.

My joy is my job No one else's.
I own my own emotions. Wow that's deep. Thank you!

Felt the same thing
Me too he is awesome

We love you, too, pastor Steven💜💜💜💜

This message may be old but it’s right on time for me. I’m so in awe how God does what He does, how He meets us right where we are. Thank you you Pastor Steve for releasing this message.
Because if they made me mad and if they put me in a bad mood then I'm stuck. There's nothing I can do. If traffic put me in a bad mood, if my job put me in a bad mood. See it's in our inner words. We don't want to take ownership and responsibility then we won't be able to guard our heart. Because we've given someone else the key to our joy.
Therefore situations and people cannot make me and did not make me. An outside experience won't make me change who I am to such a degree, to any degree that it changes my heart. God has the key to my heart. You can't guard what you don't own. So I'm guarding my heart because I own it whoop whoop 🎉🙌👏😄
I'm definitely one of the people this is for.
Same!
Same here! AMEN!
Amen me too!
Meeee tooooo!

Praise the Lord.
Mr Furtick, your sermons helped me find the strength to keep praying and worshipping my first few days sober after trying to quit for over 2 years. I’m 20 days sober today. I thank Jesus Christ for using you and for your obedience to Him. I’m covering you, your wife and children under the Blood of Jesus Christ♥️
I'm rewatching this 5 years later and finally I am learning how to own and control my emotions. Watching this sermon with fresh eyes, from the other side of victory! This, for me, is evidence that I've grown and I am so grateful to God for working on me. 😊😊😊 Thank you for pulling this one out of the vault, Pastor Steven!
The key to control your emotions. Jn. 15:11. Jesus and joy are not opposite. Your joy will overflow.
Word!
May our Joy overflow
May we enjoy what we endure.
May we OWN our emotions.
Amen
Amen indeed Jackson
Has anyone told you that you're amazing? Your love for God and ability to spread His word is incredible.
You know you wanna touch your neighbor and say:"Pastor Steven looks handsome today!"
Yes yes VAULT!!!!!! Im in Arkansas 62, can't stop listening to you! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was up all night dealing with everything you talked about in this sermon. I prayed God would send me a word and woke up to this message. Thank you Pastor Furtik 😊🙏🏾💪🏾
Amen GOD IS SO GOOD, ALWAYS ON TIME
Same here.
Amen
It's your property. You gotta own it and guard it👏👏👏👏 Own your dysfunction. If you feel discouraged say I'm discouraged but I'm choosing to encourage myself because I have ownership over my emotions. Hallelujah 👏👏👏
This is for me. I had a situation yesterday that came up against me. This is God
I just happened to open youtube and the title slapped me in the face. Thanks Pastor Steve thanks for listening and discerning the voice of the Lord🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Me too all week...This preach made me realize how much I'm hurting myself..
Because I don't need you to teach people how to never be in a bad mood. I just need you to teach them how to swing it the other way when it comes before it drags them down and takes them out and cost them time. Amen
I go through this on a daily! I’m so glad you blessed me with this message! I don’t forgive easy when people do me wrong but I am tired of torturing myself for others wrong doings! I’m quick to assume the worst or take things in the worst way possible! I needed this 🙏. I’m trying to learn how to communicate my feelings without the anger that comes with it or not take anything personal. I know it will be a long road! Hopefully my relationship will survive on this journey! So thank you for showing me the way!
I've struggled with the same thing for what seems like my entire life. You're not alone sister! I constantly have to remind myself that all is well with my soul! God bless you!
Thank you 😌🙏
I hang on to Pain/Hurt/..So much..and for So long..!its so hard for me to just let go..!i’l Feel Better/Encouraged/Motivated/..and Forgive..but go right back at it..!Deep..!its like am in a Circle..!!God Bless..you!by putting it out there..and Now your gonna be fine..!❤️🙏
This is me as well. Every time me and my husband argue I’m always the one to apologize first. So this last time... I’ve been waiting for him to say something first. It’s been two whole days. So I came to the conclusion if he’s going to stay made so will I but it’s so heavy. This message was right on time. I’m in control of my emotion. My joy of my job.
This!! Exactly my journey at this time. Hope your journey has been a success. God bless. 🙏
If your attitude is a result of the character of God and not a result of your circumstance, watch what you can do, you can swing that thing in the other direction hallelujah ➡️⬆️
pastor furtick, it was a broken hearted situation that led me to your sermons back in 2017. Since then, your sermons has helped me get through those toughest times and slay the giants. there are lots of preachers out there but you're the one God anointed for me, for God used you to save a broken hearted girl like me and i believe many more globally. My prayers and my blessings are with you, your fam and the elevation Church. love from India
I found pastor Furtick maybe about six years ago after praying for a message from God. There it was. I stumbled across a message. I have listened, watched and learnt a lot over the past years on Facebook and on TH-cam.
I pray that God continues to use you. Your sermons make my days easier. There is always something God is saying. ❤️ Thank you 🙏🏽
Jesus Christ @pastor Steven u don't kno how ur messages are a big ,big ,big ,big blessing to me and the people that I share them with , thank you lord for bringing this man on my phone screen I don't wanna miss abit of his preachings because they add something in my life spiritually
Who else grows spiritually strong like me whenever he listens and watches pastor's preachings ????
Thank you, Pastor Steven! Keep it coming all of the annointed messages from the vault 🙌

You have no idea the importance of the timing of this message. Two months ago, we got our 13yr old grandson because our daughter is trying to get ahold of addictions. He is very angry at the drop of a hat and seems to find joy at pushing us to a breaking point. He has been a part of our Sunday watch parties and really likes you, Pastor Furtick. We will enjoy watching this as a family for growth.
Praying for you and your family! God has a plan through all of it. God bless! ^EC Team
Miss these old school sermons, every bit as relevant now as when i first heard it back in the day.
Pastor, thank you for being a man after God's own heart. I am humbled, grateful and inspired by your ministry! (Hi Holly❤).
My children and I started attending Elevation Greensboro after watching you online for a while. September 2019 my 16 yr old son was shot with an AR15 assault rifle mistaken for someone else. As u can imagine I was broken but I stood strong and told Satan YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY SON'S LIFE!
MY son lives today! I brought him to Elevation after he was released from the hospital. He couldn't walk. During worship we were singing I see a victory, my son stood up and allowed the spirit of the Lord to fall down on him! My children love Elevation!!! My nieces and nephew now come with us every Sunday. Continue to do what you do for God. You make a difference!!
I definitely needed this sermon this morning. My heart needs to be guarded.
Just wanted to send you some extra hugs love and prayers you’re so significant you’re so important we all are God bless you
@@CharlotteCollier8084 thanks, I'll send some extra love your way too. And you're right we're all significant. ❤❤❤❤❤

Your joy is your job.🎉👏🙌❤️ Oh the joy of the Lord is your strength. It is mine hallelujah 👏
This came to me after hearing some hard words to take in. I know that it wasn't no one but the Lord speaking to me. 🙌🏿 I have to learn to control my emotions! 🙏🏿 Lord help me please because I'm a very emotional person. I know I can change with hard work and dedication... 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿 God is working on me for the better. Thank so much @StevenFurtick you've blessed me with so many helpful sermons. That has better me to become an wise young lady! God bless you and your family, continue to bless people all over the word your powerful man!!! 🙏🏿❤🙌🏿
I am going through a challenging season right now and the Holy Spirit says to me, "You letting your neighbour into your apartment when you let him into your mind." My new neighbour has been intimidating me since he moved in above me. I stumble (I say that lightly) on this sermon, Pastor Steven and you said one phrase that is almost word for word what the Holy Spirit said to me 5 days ago. This sermon was shared 4 years ago. I am watching this on 14th June 2024. This has happens often and it is only your sermons that I receive these confirmations. One day, I will shake you warmly by the hand or give you a big hug! God bless you and keep being an obedient servant to the LORD.
Definitely needed this message! Needed to be reminded that I am in control of my emotions, I’m the driver of them and need to own up! Guarding my heart and being more mindful of the things that I let flow through it is my new focus! Thanks Pastor!
If you insist on saying what you feel eventually you feel what you say. Own your emotions, your joy is your job. Guard your heart. If you own it you can control it. Take control of your soul! I will praise Him. Tune in truth. If you put my Word in your heart your joy will overflow. Change the concentration. Pastor, I thank God for the wisdom our Lord bestows upon you, because you share that blessing with all of us. So that we receive it. We are a lucky people to have a man like you devoted to God and His people. Thank you for thinking big, thank you for thinking back, thank you for moving us as a church forward. Praise God.
Pastor Steven! I really do appreciate when you share messages throughout the week, and they always fit with what I’ve been needing! Please continue to share more messages throughout the week! It keeps me going!

Proverbs 4:25
Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.
Some of you have been so focused on the past you've drained all if tour strength for this present moment. Some of you are so worried about the future that you can't do what you need to do now to secure your future that you are so worried about.
But he said, let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Concentrate!
I'm super excited for these
Out of the vault should absolutely be continued
Loving this ❤
Agree!!!
Definitely like your current wardrobe and beard but keep the power of the vault messages coming 🙌
Dear pastor furtick I am actually a part of life point Church led by my pastor Daniel and you're part of it too we've loved having you speak at our church and that's what led me to come and listen to your sermons also to get that extra dose of God that I need in my life and I just went in to say that I appreciate The vault sermon I needed to hear it again there's always things that the Lord shows me that I can do better and I just wanted you to know that I appreciate hearing this message again because I needed to hear it
I was having a bad day yesterday, however I prayed to God to help me control my emotions to be more like him each day! Today, this morning I see this! God is so good! Also, a year ago I was diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) with the help of your sermons it healed me and gave me a better perspective on life and how to let God control each day. Thank you so much! May God continue to use you! I hope to meet you one day, to thank you in person.
Amazing Paster Steven!
All the years I spent going to church and barely learned anything because I was too immature to care for The Word...
Young people, listen... READING the word and BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP with God is SO important! It will be the best thing you’ll ever do.
Life is probably all good now; but it will hit you sooner or later.
YOU NEED THE WORD TO SURVIVE! Trust me.
Peace, Positivity, & Love to you ALL
Keep ‘em coming Ps. Furtick! More from the vault, please. You’re such a blessing!!
The way your mind feels is as a result of what you concentrate on.
See the storm was raging before Peter got out of the boat ⛵ and whilst he was walking towards Jesus on water and transending the elements so he went from a boat that was about to drown him towards a saviour who can sustain him, he remembers he is not supposed to be able to do this because the stormnhad been raging before he God out of the boat and the storm kep raging when he got out if the boat so the circumstance didn't change but when Peter broke his concentration.
When you let things brake your concentration on the things God has given you to be greatful for, andbwhen you let life break your concentration, your soul will always sink beneath the surface. Waw Word📖
This is for me 🤚🏾🤚🏾 thank you pastor furtick ! Through your preaching the Lord blesses me indeeedd! Thank you thank you
The way my day started, it doesn't have to be the same way it will finish...Amen🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 this one is a light to begin with my day. Your sermons are always on time. Pastor Steven, You are a blessing and an amazing preacher. Thank you so much and God bless you
Yeees! This was the very first sermon I saw from you Pastor and instantly I knew that God had sent you're mighty anointed messages straight to my spirit to bless my life!!! 🙌🙌🙌 that was three and a half years ago I have shared your messages with so many wonderful Saints. I am very proud to call you my pastor!! 😇😇😇😇
I own emotions. Emotions don't own me. Yes Lord👏🙌💪🔥📖
Im newer to your online family. Your messages are simply inspiring. I just can't get enough. You have changed my life & my Outlook. Can't thank you enough. Keep up the good fight! GOD bless you all.
PS yes please for more from the vault.
Thanks for sharing, Kelly! God bless! ^EC Team
I don't listen to pastor furtick as often as i should. But when I do it always amazes me how his sermons coinside with what I have going on in my life at that particular time. This sermon opened my eyes as well as brought tears to them. I needed to hear this today. Thank you for your work.
I just went "OHHHHHHHHH" when i saw the title. Love this series, it was my first series other than "Meant to be"
I may not be in control of what's around me, but I'm in control of what's within me.
This is fantastic! I have been place that I have been allowing my emotions to drive me into some funky places and begin to lose hope in some things. Just before receiving the notifications about this message I was praying about how I was feeling...and Bam....this message came up! God is so good. Love your messages. I start every day with one! Blessings!!
I'm taking ownership of my entire life in the name of Jesus, Amen. 😊
This was a great sermon. I want to hear more. Oh my goodness I didn't realize you take them down. I went to my "folder"and some sermons I listen to are now gone😢. They help so much to hear over and over. Thank you for pulling this one out of the vault. God bless you and your family.
Sabrina May Me too!! I hate that they take it down because I used to go back to them
The Attitude of your heart reflects the activity in your mind. 🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾
This is a very meaningful message. I Listened and watched this on the way to work. It was amazing. I even listen to your videos when I workout. Here in Albany Ga I am in need of a church/pastor and you’re the closest I can get to it. I learned a lot from this.
I'm a Moody person and I think this sermon is for me. Thank you Lord
And thank you pastor Steven
Notes:
"Little Is Much When God Is In It"
Scriptural Reference: John 15:11
Jesus and Joy are not opposite
In order to endure what He suffered, Jesus chose joy
= your emotions and mind deceive you
How to control your emotions:
Your mood can control how you live in faith
Proverb 4:18-23
"Above all else, Guard Your Heart..."
Heart = attitude/mind/thought
Attitude = is the reflection of our mind
Everything you do flows from your heart; you can't just let everything in or believe everything you think
= careful of what you see, hear,think
= what's in your heart comes out your mouth and goes back in your heart
= eventually you feel what you say and be your own victim
To guard your heart, you must own your emotions
= take ownership of your temper
= don't be childish
= when you give someone power to influence you, you have the choice
= you have to be accountable for your actions
Your Joy is Your Job; take ownership of your emotions
= your can't blame influence of the atmosphere on how you execute your emotions
Psalm 42:11
= own your emotions, confess to God and He'll give you control of what happens within
= when you have ownership you tell it what to do; you're accountable
"You can't control what is around but you can control what's within..."
Change Your Concentration
= concentrate on your state of mind
= your attitude reflects your attention
= your frustration reflects your fixation
When you are in a storm (like Peter), the circumstance doesn't change but when he lost focus on Jesus, he began to sink = your mood, thinking, and direction are result of what you're focussed on
Proverb 4:24-25
= you have to change your concentration by the Water of the Word of God
Amen!
My wife and I wanted to thank you for such a very well put explanation of that parable thank you for taking the time to do that it opened up that just opened up a whole new meaning to that proverb that we never even considered before we actually just prayed and reviewed all evil from our relationship just over what you described so from my family to yours God bless you my brothers and sisters in Christ in Jesus name amen
Thank you!!! I always screen shot the notes so I can remind myself all day of how to act.
I love this pastor! I pray that God Surround him with His 👼 👼👼 and his family and everything he touch gets multiply for God’s glory!!
Thank you for this Pastor Steven! This is answered prayer! My sons struggle with handling their emotions and I know this will help them. Keep doing what you do! We love you, and God bless!
Hi Yani! We are praying for you and your son. God bless! ^EC Team
Don't let them in your heart👏👏👏👏 Amen❤️ Keep your guard up where it matters. Proverbs 4:23
Thank you for being such and inspiration and steadfast leader! And thank you for Elevation Church!!

Pastor, this was the right word for the right time in Bangkok Thailand. My emotions were all over the place today though I tried to emoticonceal it! May God continue to bless you real good.

Hello! Are you here in Bangkok? Me too. I am just fascinated. Are you attending a church here in Bangkok?
@@bisdakgirlieinbangkok Yes, I am in Bangkok now. I attend church at Evangelical Church of Bangkok on Soi 10.
I’m in a marriage thats not working and hasn’t for awhile. I’m always protecting those around me but never myself. After hearing this, I’m in tears of knowing just how important I am in Gods eyes and how broken I became in my own eyes. I’m in WA with people panicking around me with the virus spread. Thank you for my soul today! I will learn to listen to myself from now on. Great preaching 😃 emoji back at ya
Really a blessing am in love with the

Please keep bringing these jewels out of the vault! Those of us that are newer to Elevation didn't get to hear them the first time around. And I need as many as I can get! 💕
Thnx pastor Steve. God bless you for word
It's almost unreal. I was affected by your message re. THE HEART! It moved me out of my feelings into truth (made me happy again). I attend a church which has dynamic messages too. Pastor Tim Brock, Christ Community Church in Alamogordo New Mexico. Look him up! Anyway your messages are up there!! Thank you
@@marypirtle735 God bless you. Thnx
AMEN, iNEEDED THiS REMiNDER FR0M JESUS S0000 BADLy. THANK y0U JESUS F0R GiViNG ME WHAT iNEED, WHEN iNEED iT😭💯🙏
Steven we have the same birthday! Have a great week
yes, Pastor Steven, please PLEASE post this sermon--every single day. just because... Guard your heart. Thank you, Pastor Steven. PLEASE post more sermons!
I was like who is that preaching.. his son lol then I heard his voice.
😂😂😂Thought the Same thing..!lol
Thank you so much Pastor Steven, I badly need this right now, Godbless you more
Steven looks like he’s got a court date..😂
The attitude of your heart reflects the condition of your mind. You cannot separate your feelings from your faith.
I cannot begin to explain how much I needed this for what I'm going through last night. I talked my sister's ear off last night and prayed about it before going to sleep. This video popped up in my feed and I clicked it. No such thing as a coincidence. ♥️
Steven Furtick, you've always been the best. SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY.
Thank you for being obedient to Gods calling on your life. So often we have no idea how our obedience affects others, but today I live to see what God will do in my life next. Steven, you are transparent, incredibly gifted, and wise beyond your years. Because you choose a life of service you are a blessing to the rest of us. Thank you Holly, only a great woman of God can stand beside a pastor/ husband who fulfills his calling.
Pastor Steven was an new school but a kindly in your face new school preacher. Love him now and love it back then
That is exactly what I needed!! Thank you for being so REAL AND TRANSPARENT!!! Everytime I listen to your sermons (and I listen multiple times a day) I feel like God uses You to speak to me. Thank God for you and your family and your ministry. Bless them Lord, In Jesus name.
The heart is a water source from which life flows from it. Amen
This entire vault series is what I’ve been struggling with in my journey. I’ve been stressing about it bad and all I do is ask God to “ get me out my feelings” and all I can say is that he may not come when you want him but he’ll be there right on time “!!!!
Pastor Steven I pray you continue to open the vault. I have spent a lifetime with my heart unguarded, but now with this powerful message I realize what God wants me to do moving forward. God Bless you and the work you and your entire Elevation Family do in the name of Jesus.🙏
My vote is a resounding Yes! to more videos from the vault. This sermon was packed with God’s powerful word. It was a topic that I had discovered myself recently because I wasn’t guarding my heart. Placing blame on the circumstances instead of owning my emotions. This sermon tied the puzzles pieces together now I have the bigger picture. I am hungry for more sermons from the vault, my cup wants to over flow. Thank you Pastor Furtick.
PLEASE bring the rest of this series out of the vault .... only God knows how much this has ministered to my soul.
Pastor and Holly are my favorites to share because they are so engaging and relatable... the people I love the most can always be reached with humor. Radically different from the somber, reverent messages we were raised with in a devout faith.
i watch these videos everyday all day so keep them coming. I used to go to bed and watch netflix but now I watch Pastor Steven Furtick. God is so good. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
You are preaching well today!!!!
Never substitute meditation for medication!! For meditation will always give what medication only promises.👼
you cannot endure what you don’t enjoy! So true! Joy and happiness are fundamental in our life. Love the gem from the Vault
You are the Called,chosen and appointed .He is the God of progress.
Bring back the vault and the other past messages! I chance upon Pastor Steven teachings here on TH-cam just a couple of months ago and they have been such a great blessing to me! I believe that all his teachings and messages should not be restrict to time and space as our Lord is outside time and space and his words are timeless. I believe all his messages will continue to bless and speak to people from around the world just as they have spoken to me, who is studying in Singapore. I look forward to hearing more messages from the past. ❤️
