He Answered
Pastor Steven Furtick
Sermon Highlights
A noisy mind needs a new loop.
The enemy is always speaking, and so is God.
Victory and defeat are both found in the repeat.
The Spirit led Him into the wilderness, but He did not leave Him there.
Three truths to remember for new loops in your life: He’s here, It’s handled, I’m His.
Be careful who you vent to. Sometimes when you start venting, you start inventing.
When the devil gets rhetorical, you get historical.
Just because the answer hasn’t arrived yet, doesn’t mean God didn’t send it.
