I forgive because He forgave Me, however My Family has been going through it. The attacks have been daily, which I forgive daily, but the pain keeps increasing. The hard part is the pain…
This sermon is deep!!! Listening to this, I'm encouraged because God lovingly pursues us even deep in to the trenches of our disappointments... Giving us hope and strength.... One day wins
I met someone today at service and sat by their family during service. He felt like the Lord abandoned him and didn’t hear him anymore. To anyone who feels that way, I can stand today saying that the Lord hears you, the Lord loves you, and he cares more about your soul than you could ever imagine. Sometimes He allows trials into our lives to bring us closer to him. He cares more about your soul and your relationship with him than you could ever imagine. Don’t allow the words of negativity, the doubt, the bitterness or the hurt control your life, instead remember the power of 24. Take in one breath and breathe out a word of praise to the God who gave you that breath. If you aren’t dead, God is not done.
To the beautiful soul reading this, if you are going through a hard time, know that it is only temporary. You will overcome it and manifest all that you desire.
To the woman who sat behind me today in church and told me, “ God is telling me to tell you, he hears you,” thank you. ❤ from the bottom of my heart thank you. It was right before the sermon and pastor spoke of a Elijah prophesying the woman to have a son. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for a few years. And last year I basically lost hope. The woman today and this sermon gave me a new found hope and love of god. I was asking for a sign and he delivered. This was one of the best sermons to me, it felt like god was speaking to me. ❤ thank you
Grateful you were so divinely encouraged! Rest and receive your inheritance of children and every blessing Jesus paid for at the cross 🙌🏻✝️❤️ SO BE IT UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO THE LORD’S WORD!
I received Jesus 😭😭 after id been on my own ways for years Id been so miserable and hurt. Now I received Him again. I open the door,leave the past and walk with Him forward. I make room for Him for the rest of my life. Im crying for I know He never left me. Its me who left Him behind. Im crying that its still Him. Its only Him who can save me.
Dear whoever's reading this,GOD is about to put back together the things you've you divided & separated in your life.He has not forgotten you.Don't forget Him in the midst of your storm.praise Him in advance.Blessings are coming your way🕊
Watching for the first time 9/25/24. I can't wait to see where I'm at a year from now! 😁 If anyone sees this September 2025, please reply to this comment so I get a notification to check back in and see where I'm at! 😁
Lifting my daughter up in prayer. 7 years ago she lost a baby and then after that became very bitter. I pray that this time next year, she holds something that I know her heart desires, in Jesus name I pray.
FROM NORTHWEST IOWA HERE PLease pray for my single parent family I am a single mother of 2 young children, often alone, and asking for prayer for my small family for blessings, protection, sovereignty, grace, hope, peace, mercy, forgiveness and abounding and a blessed future for my children and me. Also that I raise them with everything I have and am able, to grow & to live in the way of the Lord so they will not depart from that way. Love in 2024 and all years to come. Thank you. Amen 🙏♥️✝️🎉🕯️
My doctor recommended a hysterectomy. Both my husband and I said no. We have been praying and praying that I would get healed after surgery. Just before our eldest daughter's birthday, we were passing through the mall gooing and gahing over a cute baby we saw. Out of my daughter's mouth came, "Don't worry. By this time next year, you'll have a baby of your own". She was so shocked by what she said and clamped her hand over her mouth. Then, started apologising profusely.. She didn't know where it came from. I know God can speak through people, but I just held this one close to my heart... Fast forward a few months now... We are expecting a sweet little bundle around the same time next year. Thank you Jesus! He not only saves but Heals as well.
I have been fighting my addictions for many years, decades in fact. I was incarcerated one year ago for the praying for the strength to defeat those chains holding me prisoner. Here I am a year later looking for the door to helping youngsters to see that there is hope for those that are born into a hopeless environment. Thank you Lord for knocking and you Pastor for relaying His Word to help me see that I am qualified to do God's work even when society doesn't see my worth because of the poor choices of my past. I see today how much better life can be when I make room for God's plan to work in my life! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Today's message was for me 💯
Praise God!!! Bringing souls to Christ, is the mission of a real Christian…Welcome home. There will be times of adversity, times of failures, times the flesh wants to rise up, but remember Jesus is there with you through it all…Keep Him in all that you do, forgiving yourself and enjoy life until He returns…God bless!!!
I made a sticky note. God is not against me. He is in it with me. Working through me. Fighting for me. I have to tell myself this daily . Thank you for sharing.
In prison is where I knew JESUSCHRIST WITHOUT A DOUBT… that HE IS THE SON OF GOD. In PRISON… I wasn’t accepted, at first… because I was just too happy… not the first time not the second time but the fourth time. Number 5 wasn’t for me.
Them sticky notes are life changing tho ...not little by any means ...grateful for the word that flows through here between my own personal studies, elevation, potters house,Joyce Meyer and my home church I am one well fed Christian ❤ and deeply grateful to God for it
Lately I've noticed that the message that is spoken by God through one source is backed up or expanded upon by the others... Most often on the same Sunday. I've also been watching videos that were published just before the pandemic because I feel God is saying that I need to look back and see that no matter what happens, even if it feels like the world is paused, that He is working "IT" out... Whatever the "IT" is... Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
I am watching from work but I am from Goodyear Arizona I need prayer to remove all anger negative emotions negative feelings and negative thoughts to pray that God removes my anger for the sake of myself later in his timing to restore my marriage
I came across your sermons and been listening almost daily for weeks now. Today though, today had me in tears. Because I have been saying no, to the possibility of being married again. Hurt after hurt, disappointments galore, I said no, not gonna happen. But I open the door and believe it's going to happen this time next year by God's goodness and grace.
For more than a year I have been saying no to the possibility of spending time with a wonderful man because I know it might turn into marriage.. I have prayed for a husband and then when the possibility exists I realise that I have let my hurt and disappointment over past relationships kill my hope for the future. Lately I feel like God has been giving me glimpses, hints and previews of what is possible. He is teaching about having hope and expectations. I feel that God is opening my eyes and heart, getting me ready to be in a relationship, showing me how not to repeat my past mistakes, maturing me in my relationship with Him first then others, growing my abilities and helping me to learn skills to change my life. In many areas of my life I feel like He is telling me that opening up to hope means being open to receiving blessings along with having wisdom about coping with disappointment.i need to keep on knocking, try again. We need to work together as the team we were meant to be. I hope you are able to overcome any obstacles in front of you in your journey towards marriage. Step thru the doorway and allow God to work, trusting that He knows what He is doing in every area of your life and will direct your steps along the way. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
Continuing to stand and praying for restoration in my marriage. Praying for my husband to answer the knock from God and for us to receive the blessings He has for us! Lord I give thanks for the ability to love and forgive and to remain faithful to my husband, my family and to you! Reunite us to each other and to You, Lord God!
I'm praying with you for reconciliation and restoration if you still need it. Pray for me also, I'm praying to to be reconciled with my now ex wife. Love you in Christ Jesus❤
@@redbeard7985 yes I know I can do it cuz I am doing it I am sober and it feels good and I will get another win . Taking it day by day . Amen 🙏 ty for your kind words love
On 27th this month,on my birthday my sister gifted me this sermon as my birthday present. 😢,Tears of joy because I now know how Jesus has been knocking on my door over and over and what I need to do. Live long pastor Steven.
Every week these messages save me. I am so excited to see you at elevation nights New York I literally do not know where I would be without steven furtick 🙏🏽♥️
I’ve been following you for quite some time And I appreciate your fight. It is a fight for us. I also like Dr. Charles Stanley and I’m Catholic. I’ve provided monies to your church to support you because I believe in you and I just want to say that unfortunately I haven’t been able to provide much to your cause while, but I will again, I always pop in to see you and listen to you. You give me faith and inspiration, motivation power. I will send more money when I can. ❤🙏🙌 god bless you and in Jesus name amen. 🙏
Today's my day and my door to rededicate my life to God and claim that I am his child. Please pray for me that I continue down this path and give God all the glory. AMEN.
I thank God for His persistent knocking past my "NO's" in the midst of my disappointment and fears. I lay down my bitterness and stand in the doorway. Please, Lord God. Help me hear you and walk where you call me.
I received the biggest blessing of my life 3 1/2 years ago during COVID. I was terrified and had extreme PPD and PPA. Through this I prayed, praised, pleaded and begged to hear him. Nothing! I felt forgotten. I am still dealing with that and the anxiety of the times. As well as doubt of a promise I was certain would happen in the delivery room. I swore I heard it from him but it didn’t happen. The father of my Elijah has not yet been saved. I now don’t know how to fully believe in this. I know I want to.
I loved this spoke to me about the do I want to back to the horrible relationship because that is what I am battling right now. Everything you say I pray about first then you preach about like you had said in one sermon are watching us lol but thank you for your word today. Amen
🙌 If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: connect.elevationchurch.org/salvation We would love to support you in your next steps! 🧡
Commenting from South Africa 😁 This touched me so much, God sent this word to me in such a gift-like way. He's telling me to let hope in again! I'm going to make room for God to do something!!! Thank you Jesus 🤲
We're celebrating with you for making a decision for Christ! Please respond here ele.vc/Rh4bHN so our teams can follow up with you! We can't wait to connect with you and will be praying for you. 🧡
Incredible how the sermon merges personal growth with spiritual obedience. However, if we're constantly seeking signs from God for every decision, are we really exercising faith, or are we just seeking constant validation?
Now Pastor Steven is normally all up and down my business but this one hit me in a way that I wasn't prepared but should've expected. Thank you Pastor Steven for this
31:40 -This is MY biggest struggle.Due to problems with money,career, 'validation'...I have let DISAPPOINTMENT become bitterness...and I can feel it.(I REALLY am not proud of it)....Thanks Paster Steve ...AGAIN...EVERY WEEK....you help me get through another week and break down another 🧱
It’s 11/22/24 an i was driving so I decided to play UTube to hear a sermon I was listening an this an was half way thn when I got home God spoke to me to open my Bible an it brought me straight to the exact scripture in 2 kings an I went back to finish the sermon an it’s everything tht I needed to hear an God is so good. I want what God wants for me in a year. Thank u for ur sermons. God is working on me an thank u lord for u to keep knocking even in my No.
Open The Door God gave me so much assurance and deliverance and birth a new support group through Open The Door. Thank you Holy Spirit In Christ to all the glory to The Father Adonai!!!

We stand together we stand as one we will not be broken we’ll overcome! This is our battle cry oh hear our drum we will not be silenced Our voices one! We Will not be silenced our voices one!🦋🦋🦋
Yo…. This sermon is bananas. I’ll tell you what… I feel like I should listen to it again tomorrow…take notes. Be quiet and HEAR Him…. I listen/watch sermons while I’m getting ready for work, I like the quiet time in the shower - no (minimal) interruptions for the single mom…I hate taking the time to put on make up, dry my hair, etc etc… so I fill that too-quiet time with sermons…many from Elevation, and a few other churches. Pastor Steven Furtick…. You’re touching on at least a dozen prayers I am working on with God right now… IN JUST ONE SERMON!! This spoke to me!!!! This one was for me! Sticky notes, a heart for God, hope and disappointment…..then THAT….? I already commented on this one at the start, I’m commenting again because it’s just TOO GOOD… God is too good… Oof… What?! Like really…..? I know most of my Bible. I grew up with it… I read it, but not enough… I don’t know this story though….I feel like maybe I’d been blinded to it until this moment. Do you have those…? The stories you don’t pay attention to until it SLAPS YOU IN THE FACE…? And you said “this time next year” and I said, “nah”…. Because what…? You’re not saying this to me… HE’S not saying this to ME…?! Because I don’t want to be done having babies…God told me, He promised me… But my hope and disappointment are on a delicate scale…. So I said “nah…” And you kept reading…. I didn’t know.. I’m excited to explore this story. I’m excited to hear His word. And I am grateful for the exposure to His promise and confirmation that He’s got more comin….. Bless you and Holly.. bless your family and your son while he’s away in college. Good job, dad… You’re doing good work! You’re doing God work… I know you know. ❤
I had to rewatch again today..I've been through alot of disappointment. We lost our dad and sister in the end of December, also my marriage is falling apart..I can't bring my family back but need prayers for my marriage..I love my husband..I believe God is telling me not to give up but pray on how to speak to my husband..Thank You Pastor Furtick for this message🌼

its 11/18/14 and I'm just hearing this for the first time, and GOD moved so hard and was knocking so loud, brother i heard, there has been soooooo many no's in my life that yes, I have put up walls, i have held all the hurt, i have not let God in... this sermon God spoke thru you to me... in so many ways.. i just want to say, GOD KEEP BLESSING YOU, GOD is working thru you to help heal people like me to OPEN BACK the door that we closed because of situations that we could not control, but believed that God wont keep His promises. GOD DOES KEEP HIS WORD! I WILL keep the FAITH and open back my door, and i know God WILL give me back my daughter and the blessings in my life. thank you! from a child of God in Idaho.
about 10 years ago I was on pills and drinking and I was in a adulterous relationship I was lost and just in a bad spot in life and i tried to overdose on pills but thank god he saved me I end up going to my brothers house he is a pastor and I just felt the peace of god in his home that night I went to him at the time I had anxiety And had medication for it when I was staying to him I never had anxiety anymore I had gods peace God took all the ugly and junk out my life at that time I been clean since got married and have kids now I still have battles but I thank god he is with me in the tough and there were times I didn’t see a way but he always made a way I battle with doubt even though god gave me many victories but I know it’s the enemy is attacking but some times I do fail and believe his lies and today I’m truly trying to open my heart to him I guess I’ve been holding something back all this time but I release it to you father fully I thank you Jesus
This is for me exactly, and I’m leaving all my family to step out in faith and do as God has shown me over 2 years ago and didn’t stop putting the desire in my heart so so strong I know I cannot and will not say no to my Creator. God showed me over a year ago my husband would abandon me for his mommy & sister. I’that’s exactly what has just happened but He has said to me, this is why I showed this to you a year ago to begin to grieve. At first shame and not worth my own husband’s dedication and my last of 3 children becoming narcissists that caused me so much pain that I thought my life wasn’t worth being alive because of how two of my children that I was so close to, gave up on me during a time of my biggest need when I was a single parent and at their beck and call, there for everything, the devil said no one loves you so you might as well die. But God! God said nope and I said nope my faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our Creator is too strong for me to let the devil have me! Praise God for His blessings and saving my life!
Hi, I personally can't promise you that things will work out exactly as you want them to BUT I can say with faith that there is a God who has a plan for you and I pray that you may fight for your faith with all you have to believe in and TRUST God's will, God's timing and God's promise. May God bless you. May you have the faith to Trust. 🙏
This truly made me cry 😢 me and my wife have been trying for a baby for 4 years and it’s gotten to the point that I just assume each pregnancy is negative and I’m not supposed to be a father. Thank you for the encouragement ❤
0:08 thank you pastor Steven for your inspired words from God! You really helped me to open my heart up to healing from the LORD to past trauma and hurt!! Thank you ❤
😂One day when.. I can relate but I haven't lived with a man for 20 years.. I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with God on earth if thats his Will 🙏
Sometimes disappointment turns into bitterness put them bitterness turns into forgiveness God forgives us if we forgive others it allows your bitterness to turn away from anger
I am going to hold something awesome and my husband will hold something awesome and my son will hold something awesome amen and amen and amen and amen 🙌🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙌
There's a difference between disappointment and bitterness. Can you forgive it? Can you move past it? Can you give it to God to move through it?
You are a blessing Pastor Steven 🙏🏻 i need prayers for God's plan to be revealed in each area of my life. God bless you, greetings from Albania 🇦🇱 ❤
GOD BLESS, thank you guys so much!
I forgive because He forgave Me, however My Family has been going through it. The attacks have been daily, which I forgive daily, but the pain keeps increasing. The hard part is the pain…
This sermon is deep!!! Listening to this, I'm encouraged because God lovingly pursues us even deep in to the trenches of our disappointments... Giving us hope and strength.... One day wins
By HIS Grace. 🙏🕊️💯
I met someone today at service and sat by their family during service. He felt like the Lord abandoned him and didn’t hear him anymore. To anyone who feels that way, I can stand today saying that the Lord hears you, the Lord loves you, and he cares more about your soul than you could ever imagine. Sometimes He allows trials into our lives to bring us closer to him. He cares more about your soul and your relationship with him than you could ever imagine. Don’t allow the words of negativity, the doubt, the bitterness or the hurt control your life, instead remember the power of 24. Take in one breath and breathe out a word of praise to the God who gave you that breath. If you aren’t dead, God is not done.
Thank you
Absolutely 💯💯💯
Thank you
❤ Amen ❤

To the beautiful soul reading this, if you are going through a hard time, know that it is only temporary. You will overcome it and manifest all that you desire.

I’m from NE Iowa, looking for the same thing as a single father. Matthew 6:33 is the scripture I stand on.
My doctor recommended a hysterectomy. Both my husband and I said no. We have been praying and praying that I would get healed after surgery.
Just before our eldest daughter's birthday, we were passing through the mall gooing and gahing over a cute baby we saw. Out of my daughter's mouth came, "Don't worry.

I know God can speak through people, but I just held this one close to my heart...
Fast forward a few months now...
We are expecting a sweet little bundle around the same time next year. Thank you Jesus!

I recieved Jesus. Today is the day. This is my door.
Today's my day and my door to rededicate my life to God and claim that I am his child. Please pray for me that I continue down this path and give God all the glory. AMEN.
Today is my day I receive Jesus, I am save and forgiven. Thank you, Jesus.🙏🙌💕
This sermon came right👏🏼on👏🏼time. Hallelujah Jesus.🙌🏻
I thank God for His persistent knocking past my "NO's" in the midst of my disappointment and fears.
I lay down my bitterness and stand in the doorway.
Please, Lord God. Help me hear you and walk where you call me.
I received the biggest blessing of my life 3 1/2 years ago during COVID. I was terrified and had extreme PPD and PPA. Through this I prayed, praised, pleaded and begged to hear him. Nothing! I felt forgotten. I am still dealing with that and the anxiety of the times. As well as doubt of a promise I was certain would happen in the delivery room. I swore I heard it from him but it didn’t happen. The father of my Elijah has not yet been saved. I now don’t know how to fully believe in this. I know I want to.
I loved this spoke to me about the do I want to back to the horrible relationship because that is what I am battling right now. Everything you say I pray about first then you preach about like you had said in one sermon are watching us lol but thank you for your word today. Amen
I rededicated my life today to Jesus Christ
I Receive JUSES this is my new beginning ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽.

IT IS WRITTEN : REV. 3: 20. AMEN !!!
My walls are full of sticky notes Gods words received through your sermons!! ❤thank you sweet Jesus and Pastor Furtick!!
Incredible how the sermon merges personal growth with spiritual obedience. However, if we're constantly seeking signs from God for every decision, are we really exercising faith, or are we just seeking constant validation?
Now Pastor Steven is normally all up and down my business but this one hit me in a way that I wasn't prepared but should've expected. Thank you Pastor Steven for this
🙌
I find I don’t have room for hope. I keep asking other people to hope for me, and keep believing that God is faithful, no matter what the report is.
31:40 -This is MY biggest struggle.Due to problems with money,career, 'validation'...I have let DISAPPOINTMENT become bitterness...and I can feel it.(I REALLY am not proud of it)....Thanks Paster Steve ...AGAIN...EVERY WEEK....you help me get through another week and break down another 🧱

THANK YOU JESUS!! ❤️ 🙏 everything makes perfect sense!! This was for me!!❤❤❤
Yo….
This sermon is bananas.
I’ll tell you what… I feel like I should listen to it again tomorrow…take notes. Be quiet and HEAR Him….
I listen/watch sermons while I’m getting ready for work, I like the quiet time in the shower - no (minimal) interruptions for the single mom…I hate taking the time to put on make up, dry my hair, etc etc… so I fill that too-quiet time with sermons…many from Elevation, and a few other churches.
Pastor Steven Furtick….
You’re touching on at least a dozen prayers I am working on with God right now…
IN JUST ONE SERMON!!
This spoke to me!!!!
This one was for me!
Sticky notes, a heart for God, hope and disappointment…..then THAT….?
I already commented on this one at the start, I’m commenting again because it’s just TOO GOOD… God is too good…
Oof…
What?! Like really…..?
I know most of my Bible. I grew up with it… I read it, but not enough… I don’t know this story though….I feel like maybe I’d been blinded to it until this moment.
Do you have those…? The stories you don’t pay attention to until it SLAPS YOU IN THE FACE…?
And you said “this time next year” and I said, “nah”….
Because what…? You’re not saying this to me… HE’S not saying this to ME…?!
Because I don’t want to be done having babies…God told me, He promised me…
But my hope and disappointment are on a delicate scale….
So I said “nah…”
And you kept reading….
I didn’t know..
I’m excited to explore this story. I’m excited to hear His word. And I am grateful for the exposure to His promise and confirmation that He’s got more comin…..
Bless you and Holly.. bless your family and your son while he’s away in college.
Good job, dad…
You’re doing good work!
You’re doing God work…
I know you know.
❤
I had to rewatch again today..I've been through alot of disappointment. We lost our dad and sister in the end of December, also my marriage is falling apart..I can't bring my family back but need prayers for my marriage..I love my husband..I believe God is telling me not to give up but pray on how to speak to my husband..Thank You Pastor Furtick for this message🌼

I received the Lord again today. Thank you, Pastor Steven, for your messages speaking to my heart.
Today is my day i received JESUS ❤
Your sermons are always wonderful but you are on fire this year! Thank you for this anointed word!
its 11/18/14 and I'm just hearing this for the first time, and GOD moved so hard and was knocking so loud, brother i heard, there has been soooooo many no's in my life that yes, I have put up walls, i have held all the hurt, i have not let God in... this sermon God spoke thru you to me... in so many ways.. i just want to say, GOD KEEP BLESSING YOU, GOD is working thru you to help heal people like me to OPEN BACK the door that we closed because of situations that we could not control, but believed that God wont keep His promises. GOD DOES KEEP HIS WORD! I WILL keep the FAITH and open back my door, and i know God WILL give me back my daughter and the blessings in my life. thank you! from a child of God in Idaho.
I received Jesus❤ thank you for this message!
about 10 years ago I was on pills and drinking and I was in a adulterous relationship I was lost and just in a bad spot in life and i tried to overdose on pills but thank god he saved me I end up going to my brothers house he is a pastor and I just felt the peace of god in his home that night I went to him at the time I had anxiety And had medication for it when I was staying to him I never had anxiety anymore I had gods peace God took all the ugly and junk out my life at that time I been clean since got married and have kids now I still have battles but I thank god he is with me in the tough and there were times I didn’t see a way but he always made a way I battle with doubt even though god gave me many victories but I know it’s the enemy is attacking but some times I do fail and believe his lies and today I’m truly trying to open my heart to him I guess I’ve been holding something back all this time but I release it to you father fully I thank you Jesus
I recieved Jesus, beautiful sermon!
This is for me exactly, and I’m leaving all my family to step out in faith and do as God has shown me over 2 years ago and didn’t stop putting the desire in my heart so so strong I know I cannot and will not say no to my Creator. God showed me over a year ago my husband would abandon me for his mommy & sister. I’that’s exactly what has just happened but He has said to me, this is why I showed this to you a year ago to begin to grieve. At first shame and not worth my own husband’s dedication and my last of 3 children becoming narcissists that caused me so much pain that I thought my life wasn’t worth being alive because of how two of my children that I was so close to, gave up on me during a time of my biggest need when I was a single parent and at their beck and call, there for everything, the devil said no one loves you so you might as well die. But God! God said nope and I said nope my faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our Creator is too strong for me to let the devil have me! Praise God for His blessings and saving my life!
Thanks again pastor for the lovely and inspiring sermon.Blessings!!!!❤❤❤❤.
24 at a time, minutes…. hours …..somedays breaths but this year I’m do the new me in Jesus strength ❤
Ayy im one of the first comments god is good 👍🏼
I received Jesus today is my day the door is open Hallelujah
Hi, I personally can't promise you that things will work out exactly as you want them to BUT I can say with faith that there is a God who has a plan for you and I pray that you may fight for your faith with all you have to believe in and TRUST God's will, God's timing and God's promise. May God bless you. May you have the faith to Trust. 🙏
This truly made me cry 😢 me and my wife have been trying for a baby for 4 years and it’s gotten to the point that I just assume each pregnancy is negative and I’m not supposed to be a father. Thank you for the encouragement ❤
0:08 thank you pastor Steven for your inspired words from God! You really helped me to open my heart up to healing from the LORD to past trauma and hurt!! Thank you ❤
😂One day when.. I can relate but I haven't lived with a man for 20 years.. I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with God on earth if thats his Will 🙏
Thankyou pastor for this teaching ...i open every door in my life today. From Kenya.
Sometimes disappointment turns into bitterness put them bitterness turns into forgiveness God forgives us if we forgive others it allows your bitterness to turn away from anger
I receive Jesus..ND I'm opening my heart ..pls pray for my faith to grow stronger ND to not be shy to pray or talk about God
