What man considers a setback is actually God's setup - can you trust God in the setup?
Yes, Lord! ❤
It's all about faith with God. Hebrews 11:1.
I surrender. Bless me. Teach me. Take away your protection like Job to prove a point. My faith Will endure. This setup is Intentional.
I don't know how. Help!💥💥💥
Yes,.I trust him
I was born in a Muslim family ...but the love that I have in my heart for Jesus Christ is huge ..I can proudly say that I am a Christian now and GOD has shown that he loves me too.
🤍🤍
yeeeea
❤❤❤
Praise the Lord. May God continue to bless you and increase you in the knowledge of Him. 🙏🏾😇
Amen...Glory to God🙏🙏
My sermon notes for " How did I get here ?" : 1.) When heaven wants to affirm you, it doesn't use opportunity,it uses opposition. The struggles you overcome revelas your anointing. Quit waiting for people to vaildate 2.) When Jesus stops by, anything is possible. What is new to you is old to your God, your future is his past. He saw it coming, it was a setup. When God gives you a word, he is confident in the word he gives you because he already saw your life before. There is nothing new that you face that is new to him 3.) Anything God is about to do in your life he has already done. God is conditioning the unconditional worshiper in you, are you a reactive or proactive praiser? Don't let circumstances dictate your praise Trust God with the setup, man's setback is God's setup. You are marked by God, even when you can't see Jesus, he sees you. In order for a way to be made that means that a way has to be blocked, and if something is standing in between you and the promise then it has to be a setup. If there is something that you see that does not match what God said it has to be a setup. 4.) You may be in here but you don't have to stay here. 5.) The battles you engage in reveals the level you are on. Rise above the negativity, you are above that 6.) Jesus is calling you, the light is back on, you see clearly now. Don't allow what you can't see to silence your praise. 7.) When your sight is failing, don't allow your low place to cause you to miss the beauty of the season you are in, even in the low place there is a plan. 8.) When you are marked by God he will bring your name up, when God's hand is on you it doesn't matter what hand is against.

I have been falsely accused of harming my daughter but it was actually her father & his family. They took my daughter from me and I have been fighting over 2 years to get her back. I need a miracle! I need God to step in to restore us & glorify His name. We need the truth to light up this darkness. How did I get here? ❤🛐✝️🙏🏽 God please in Jesus name , help us.

In the midst of the storms... All we can say is... It is well as Jesus has resolved the situation in Jesus name.
Watching this from dubai while my client am a caregiver is admitted in ICU i feel broken ...praying for healing
We ask God for your client's healing...
@@dineomahao thankyou dear and God bless you
@@user-zi1pj8sj7v How is your client doing, now?
How did I get here? Jesus stopped and told me my faith will keep eating, and keep sharing, and keep loving, and keep me, and will make me whole again.
Isn't it beautiful how God gave this man a speech "impediment", but now his blind Grandmother knows right away that its HIM when he speaks? God is so good!! He was probably teased and self conscious his whole young life. He was probably told he needed "extra help" so he could work through what everyone called an "impediment". Pulled out of class and taken to special ed speech development.... The whole treatment... Now here he is, on stages all over the country, preaching fire sermons from God, just like Moses. But most of all, the biggest blessing of all, his Grammy KNOWS HIM. Out of 40 Grandchildren, she KNOWS when it's HIM. Whatever your weaknesses, your mistakes, your deficiencies.... Thats where the Strength and Glory of God manifests. That's where the miracle are. That's where His hand is holding yours, His arm is around your shoulders, or He picks you up and carries you. Let Him.
“A small vision is an insult to a BIG GOD!”

I was in the room today. My first time at Elevation. And I gotta say, the atmosphere is 🔥🔥. AWESOME Mesage! 🇧🇷
How was it?😐😐😐
Prayer request: I’ll start by introducing myself. I am Ezra, and this is about a girl named Sara. She is my ex girlfriend. We dated for about a year, then broke up back in January. Why did we break up? Well, many would say it was due to her moving away and not interested in a long distance relationship. Others would say it’s because we had such a rough start when first learning to understand each other. Some would say it’s due to her trust issues blocking her full ability of leaning into a relationship. But many would argue that it was because my own immaturity, not being ready for a relationship, and my own struggles with being faithful. Many said I deserved to lose her. I never got the opportunity to learn the real reason directly from her, so I came up with my own reasons as to why this relationship possibly came to an end. I spent all of 2023 working on myself, one day at a time, reflecting on the past while looking for ways to better myself so that this would never happen again. In the last 9 months, I’ve changed a lot about myself. I’ve began to grow closer to God and began a relationship with Him. God has taken me on a journey to transform my mind, which now reflects in the way that I think and act. I’ve cut off many wrongful tendencies from my past and stepped into my new self, not looking back. I’ve been determined to better myself so that no girl in my future would ever have to go through the things I put Sara through. I’ve made drastic changes like removing dating apps, surrounding myself with new people, diving deeper into God’s word, and even a career change. However, i find myself still often thinking about what could’ve been if I had been the loyal, loving, supportive, genuine, faithful, and the caring boyfriend that I know God called me to be. I decided that I wasn’t going to move on, instead I decided to go to God about this situation and ask Him to help restore and rebuild our relationship. As I got closer to God, He changed me from the inside out and matured me in so many different ways. God has redeveloped my understanding of a relationship and has removed my old desires and unhealthy habits replacing them new desires and life producing habits. Although I’m not perfect, I can confidently I’m not the same person a year ago. God has been so good to me and I feel as though my relationship with Him has never been so close and I’m thankful! I know all of this sounds beautiful and great, but things haven’t been the prettiest between Sara and I. Out of regret and loneliness I used to reach out to her sending her letters asking for forgiveness while pouring out my heart to her, and even letters of expressing my inner pain and regret of my past actions… unfortunately she has not respond to any of it and the last thing she’s ever said to me was “congrats on graduating” after telling her in a letter that I graduated from college. After many months of no contact, I learned that she had blocked me on all social media platforms and even blocked my number. This has been hard for me because it’s a visual reminder of the damages caused by my prior self, a person i don’t associate myself with any longer. I live with continuous thoughts that my past actions has ruined and messed up my future. I know that’s a lie from the enemy, because I know that I’m not defined by my past. I’m a person who’s learned from it and grown. Sara never saw the true potential of who I know I can be as a boyfriend. God is sovereign and can turn around any situation that looks hopeless and fill it with hope and new future. God is greater than any past mistake. God has forgiven me, and he has for me! I believe He is the God of a second chance who can give me the opportunity to show Sara or whoever may come next that I am not who I made myself out to be in my past. These past months have tested my faith and trust that I have in God. I still continuously pray about her and think about her a lot. She’s still heavy on my heart, which makes it difficult to move on. Out of faith, I’m still hopeful that God will restore and rebuild this relationship. But this isn’t easy, I’m placing my hope in God while also having to be okay with the fact that she may never come back. I’m fully submitted to His will and His plan. Luckily, I’ve surround myself with people of faith that are understanding, supportive, and see me for who God has called me to be and not for who I have been in my past. Most people are understanding of what I’m praying for God to do, but not everyone is. If I’m being completely honest, I feel ashamed of my past. But it’s allowed me to be the most transparent and honest I’ve ever been in life. I’m fighting an internal silent battle that I have not been open about with many people, until now. Truthfully, I don’t know if God will come through or not. But I know that He CAN and will simply just trust Him knowing that all things work together for the good and for His glory. I know that He loves and cares about me and is with me every step of the way in this journey… but I would be lying if I said this wasn’t difficult. If God doesn’t bring restoration, then I’ll just walk away from this knowing what not do and move on in life. But I don’t want to let go so early or so easily without going after what’s in my heart. I don’t want to give up, and I’m willing to fight for it by faith even if it takes a year or so. I’m in a desperate and hopeless situation, but I have faith. I want to see it through until I know it’s over. So, with all of this being said, I need people around me who can support me through this, pray for me, and give advice that will help me get through it. When everything is said and done, may my testimony help people to believe in the God of the impossible. I want my story to show that you’re never too far in the ditch for God not to pull you out. God can make a way out of no way. And when it’s over, I want to say, “God did it.” or in this case, “How did I get here?”

Wow wow wow! This word was exactly what I needed. The Lord spoke to me instantly. He’s made a way! He’s made a way no matter my circumstance!
If it weren't for this teaching, then we'll never trust god in the setup. Period!🥯🍔🥯🍔🥯🍔
Confirmation…Amen Lord
been been down and depressed before I watched this.. worried about the debts I have and loans I'm nursing..but I'm now so strong and bold to say that God is gonna make a way 🎉
I loved how he used contemporary issues and culture to help bring insight to the ancient. That was absolutely brilliant and the sermon was powerful! Get you and your chihuahua and get out that abusive situation! 🏃🏾♀️ Father please bring my name up in this nursing school🙏🏾
It is already done in Jesus name 🙌 🙏
The sermon was remarkable. However, I was there on Sunday and the sound while worshiping was off, the sound of the base, the guitar, and the base-line were distorted; it was greater than the singing, louder, covering the voices. And then we could also hear a late echo. Someone fix the sound and the control board for next Sunday.
I've been marked by God! Thank you Lord!!
I LOVE how God has CALLED him to be a pastor WITH his speech impediment. Thank you pastor Green for giving me hope. I am a teacher who struggles with speaking because of a dislocated ligament in my jaw. Thank you so much Pastor Green

When he said a daughter that is in a domestic violent relationship needs to take her Chihuahua and go to her parents and tell them what she has been hiding,it took my breath away because that was my daughter and I have tried to get past feeling that I let her down because as a mom I should have seen the signs. And today God showed me that she went through all of that alone but she will help others in the same situation. Please pray for us to see the vision God has for us. Thank you!!! What a mighty word!!
Hi Vaun, we want you to know that we are lifting you up in prayer. It's incredibly touching to hear your story and the powerful realization you had during that message. God's guidance and revelations can be awe-inspiring, helping us see our paths more clearly. You haven't let your daughter down; sometimes, life's challenges are part of a greater purpose. We pray for both you and your daughter to see the vision that God has for your lives and to find strength in helping others in similar situations. 🙏
