    Most times we cant even enjoy the places we are winning because we are too embarrassed by the places we are losing.
    May we not quit too soon.

    My first encounter of Pastor Steven Furtick sermons was in 2014. I passed by my tv in the living room and a local tv station (Family TV) was airing his sermon 'Sister Wives'. And I have been listening to his sermons ever since. Such a blessing. Thank you Pastor Steven.

  • @demimikaylathriving4599

    This sermon is exactly what I needed to hear. I thank God for allowing me to come across it when I was doubting if my talents actually matter and if I will ever be successful. I pray to start bearing fruits with the talents God has giving me. Thank you Pastor Stephen for obeying God's calling over your life and the Elevation Church for spreading these messages across to the world. I pray God continues to protect and provide for all our needs. In Jesus name. Amen

    This series is everything. I sit here in a job that frustrates me and causes me to feel like I’m failing that I forget how blessed I truly am to be in this position. God put me here against all odds, completely unqualified, but God said I was qualified. God qualified me. This series has encouraged me so. Thank you.

      I was in the same place too until I heard a sermon where Pr Steven made a statement "if you trust God why are you still on that Job you hate so much?" It haunted me until I quit that Job. Haven't found a new Job yet but never been happier. And God is speaking big things to me. Im trusting the process of being rebuilt by the most caring Father🙏

    @worshipwhilewewait Před 2 lety

    Today - 2yrs after this sermon - I felt a tug to watch this and God just spoke so heavy to My Heart. John 15:16 - You didn't choose Me, but I chose YOU. I have appointed You to go, to produce Fruit that will last, and to ask the Father in My Name to give You whatever You ask for." I've been Praying so hard lately that God would let Me be able to see the Fruit of My labor for others, but what He did what flip the script and show the Fruit that He's been producing in ME. That tore Me up because I KNOW God is doing a NEW THING - IN Me and FOR Me and not just for others. I needed this sooooooooooooo bad because God's about to birth in Me something the world has never seen before and I'm Trusting Him to see it thru - and it begins WITH ME! TYJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💗💗💗

    @faniidanger Před 4 lety +106

    I’ve been struggling 2 years straight trying to figure out whether I’m successful or not, feeling more like a failure because I wanted so bad the approval of my mom for me to feel successful, my mom isn’t a bad mother But because I’m the oldest of my 2 sisters she believes I don’t need her, so often she’s more worried about my sisters than me, I can’t remember the last time she asked me if I was okay or if I was sad about anything, because I pretend to be happy she thinks I am, but I’ve been trapped in the image of being the “perfect daughter” and feeling like I’m a failure and that if I die no one will care, that now With this sermon I’ve realized so many things, I thank God for the existence of Pastor Steven and for using him in such wonderful ways❤️🙌🏼

      Aloha young Sis...I understand but I want you to consider the following. To HIM you are HIS masterpiece, HIS baby girl, the apple of HIS eyes. Not only HE knows you by first name but even numbered...if HE had just counted the hairs of your head that would been profound but HE numbered. That means that this morning when you brushed your hair and one got stuck in your brush that JESUS knew that was hair 87,567. You are important, worth it, and HE has a plan and a purpose for your life.
      Blessings and look up as HE is shining on you.
      All of the above I can prove it to you with the following reference:
      Psalm 42:2 in the NIV Bible
      Bonito Día Reina!

But I'm more frustrated within myself because feel like I'm failing and frustrated more now than when we were in year past when others were no where and no communication and no one understand what or where we were and failure to outside world.but now they see us rerouting back in town but I miss the quiet country living with our animals and rerouting, reforms, reHome all of us! 3yrs laters..after find this church to breaking fear to come back in town in a town we never wanted to be. But God's faithfulness he replaces everything because I Never denied you father you were the only thing in our direction..

    Goooooooood day Pastor Steven and Elevation Church. It feels like you became a lot more intentional in the last 6 months or so. I like it, yet I cannot say for certain what changed (maybe it is just me who changed). I just feel you are becoming more and more authentic (not saying you weren't before-just indescribably better/deeper/Loving God's people/desiring that people should know our Jesus). With that being said, thank you for always giving your very best. It is probably (it is) more encouraging than the message itself.

    Amen. Thank you pastor. I have been dealing with a lot of resentment and I have been working on myself for a while. I want to feel free and fruitful. I have been let down for years by my mother,father, and siblings. I have a daughter and I see all that resentment from my past lingering around and I don’t want to bring any toxic traits near my daughter or husband. I’m not where I want to be but I can truly say I’ve come a long way. You are one of the very few pastors I listen to weekly. You just get down to it crystal clear. Thank you.

    Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night , so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8
    Yes success is in the Bible, tho it also says meditate on the Book of the Law.

    I spent 15 + years trying to prove that I was something and could be “successful”. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and graduating with an elementary education degree with a learning disability, raising kids, working full time, and graduating with honors meant to me I would be. I spent years trying to be a successful “teacher”. I was miserable and so were my kids., while “failing “ at every turn. God allowing me to fall was one of the best gifts He ever gave me. I fought Him. I was angry and fought Him hard. He wants to heal generations of distinction in my family. When I was ultimately exhausted and felt defeated did He truly started working through me. The peace I have now by far surpasses
    the immense pain I allowed to grow. He wants me and my adult children to heal. Right now my kids and I do not have a relationship but I have to believe that these beautiful humans are being healed also. This is not the point really in this rambling but, if my children are not talking to me means their healing , finding God and learning to become closer and closer to Him then it’s all worth it to me. I want to also wish a very happy birthday to my son David will be 19 tomorrow :-) I will gladly share anything from my past if it really truly will help somebody else.

    I feel like God is saying to me "why do you keep settling for low paying jobs you hate?" I have so much potential and I have been so depressed because I am so bored and under challenged at work. I sit at a desk all day, feel isolated and just sit there and get more depressed. Other people in my department just scroll on their cell phones all day and dont care. Self care and health has gone out the window. My problem is keep taking internal jobs, I need to expand my horizons and see what is out there. I am always waiting on God but I feel like God has said to me "I have been waiting on you." You have free will, use it.

      Pat Thank you. That really resonated with me.... I’ve been in the same situation, unhappy and depressed at work. I’ve been praying and waiting for God to change it. I know what I want...just scared to move and waiting on him .... but I have free will and I should use it. Thank you.

    Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick for preaching this series it has really helped me. I know God is calling me to either to become a preacher or A Sunday school teacher for either 6th grade through 12th grade or the younger kids. Please pray for me that I make the right decision.

      This message came right on time for me and his calling upon your life is truly a blessing & the fact that you know by trusting in him is what tells you exactly what you need to do, the feelings of inadequacy and or wanting to quit will be unsuccessful because you already know what he called you to do & his purpose in your life, blessings to you in all that you do!

    God doesn't want us to hate here.... He can meet you here and you will reach there together... The present is the gift we got straight from heaven, I mean if you cannot enjoy right what makes you sure that you could enjoy by then? Don't allow anything to steal your joy.

    Hey from the Netherlands.
    I found all i need, in the period of life all was taken away what i tought to be impotant.
    I found the truth just about 2 years ago.
    Always felt more than the fysical world. And in the worldly world never found the truth, peace, and principal things deeply embedded inside me.
    I had the privelege to learn and read freely scripture because of my ex-girlfriend. Who is Christian. And in the first time reading it showed me the deeply embedded feelings, principals and all things i searched all my life, and tought ot to be an impossible utopia, but the scripture learned it all is inside me for a reason. And IT is the truth and not a dream.
    Since november she (my ex-girlfriend) left me. And i still pray to let us come together again. But also i am her thankfull for letting me know christ scripture, truth, hope, love and belief.
    Still learning every day from the truth.
    I have been an model worldly person.
    Lost all of my life (things, possessions, friends, my house and even self-worth even my dad died out of the blue in that period) because of an work related accident.
    I have been homeless for about 2,5 / 3 years.
    But in that period i met my ex-girlfriend and with her I met God.
    Just in the perfect moment. At the moment when i would do desperate things to try to get out the most hopeless period of my life.
    Praise the lord.
    He makes you full,
    Everthing has a reason.
    And he has a plan for you, thats greater than we realise.
    No matter what i praise Him for whats om my path, the good things, the (in our eyes) not so good things. And i learned sometimes you need to lose all you think you need or have to let you see the core of what we really need or what we still have.
    Steven Furtick is one of the pastors who reaches me time after time. His messages give power, calmth, hope and good life / belief teachings.
    Keep it up.
