Then I felt God Loves me Pastor Steven saved me and help me know God never left me I am now been watching old one of him my kids watch with me I threw the negativity out of my life I am still in pain so bad but working to get help And I know God will let it happen whe he ready Thank You Elevation Church
That God always put empty spaces for in us for Him to full fill i love you Jesus.
These sermons are my pick up during the week. I am the worship leader at a church in Central Florida and I find myself looking to Elevation online for my refreshing for the week. I use these as my time to connect and refocus. I am so super thankful for these and the ministry they provide!
This is one of those sermons that has to be posted on fb and sent to everyone. So great! One of my favorites. Sitting at work listening to this and my eyes just filled with so much joy and inspiration. Thank you for preaching and posting this.
Elevation Church that “YURH” guy definitely makes an impact during the sermons
“God wants to use your pain to help someone else!” 💛💛💛
Breakthrough is always in the other side of obedience.
🙌🏻
Yes, I disobeyed and I'm paying the price😢
@@Duckydubb God has Grace too.
@@DeborahAnnsuperversatile Yo are so right.. Thank you
@@Duckydubb no problem. Please continue seeking God. You obviously are by watching sermon.

My alcoholism which Jesus has set me free has been a place of purpose and grace which he can use me to reach others ❤🙏🏻 I will forever be grateful for my pain which God turned into something beautiful
Amen!!!
That is awesome! That's my prayer 🙏 plse pray 4 me delivered from addiction
Lord I give you my failures, my imperfections, my sin ,my history from Jamaica
Finally was able to attend. It was amazing. The 11 am service had people with a spirit of expectancy and Worship. Being there with fellow believers and hearing the Word really blessed me.
Felt the exact same when I visited!
Like my coffee beans this morning, he perfectly crushed this sermon. A sermon brewed to perfection. Cheers ☕️
I know that the pain I’m feeling in this moment... God’s gonna use to impact others!! Lord it doesn’t make Sense now but you’re working all things together for my good🙏🏾
It doesn't make sense but if you say so Lord, I will. There is Always a breakthrough behind obedience!! Thank you Lord! 🙏🙏
I’ve been so stuck on breakthrough being about what I get instead of resting in the breakthrough of letting God use what I went through ♥️
Casey Artis ♥️
Me too
New perspectives
I just appreciate how honest these ministers are... that is something that is really missing in the evangelical church...so thank you elevation church and I mean your whole team, volunteers, ministers, singers, ushers, daycare staff, you all matter and I’m thankful for you!
Amen🙏
"Obeying God's word doesn't always make sense but it does work" 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Empty space (boat) is just enough space for Jesus to enter in❤️😭❤️

The lord is compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. That's why He chooses us to work for Him and through Him. Thank you Pastor so blessed to listen to such a powerful msg. God bless you.
This message was so powerful. "Fish for people." Our imperfections can be used to help others. So powerful.
This message gives me more hope about my current situation. I'm exactly in the position where everything around me, the failures, relationships, opportunities don't really make sense at all as opposed to what God had promised me before everything fell apart. This message is a light to my darkness at the moment. Really, the Word gives light and comfort to those who are broken. Thank you so much for your ministry of sharing the Word. God bless you Elevation! Been a subscriber for a year and it's such a great blessing.
I mean wow...I've heard this bible story so many times and never thought about it this way. Seriously so powerful. Love what God is doing through Elevation!
♥️This is spot on.. I'm in the midst of a grief. Wrote an exam and things are not my way, I have jus 5% chances of clearing this exam. I already had failed 4 times. I'm breaking up a lot. I'm beginning to believe that this exam is not for me but this message is giving me hope and telling me not to give up. All thanks to God. Thanks for the message. God bless everyone.
Have you ever been to India, by the way?
@@sunnyorvinod I'm very much an Indian
Good. Where do you stay sister? By the way, I'm a pastor from India too.. nice to meet you...
@@sunnyorvinod praise God pastor. I'm living in chennai. God bless your ministry
I'll pray for your exam and it's impact on your future... Please note that He can bring good out of bad that may occur in our lives... God bless you...
Believe in you and I am never not praying for all of you and I’m here to support praise love and joy I pray that his powerful hand is on us all
Dustin, I listened to this message over the weekend not thinking it had anything to do with me, then I heard "FISH for People" and I wanted to cry. We always wonder why God is taking us through things only to hear God say that it was for reaching someone else. Ten years ago when I went through divorce I would have people tell me that what I was going through God would use for His glory. When I would hear this I would become angry because the pain was so deep. Then just a week ago I asked God to give me an opportunity where where He has brought me to minister to someone while serving on the Host Team at Elevation. Low and behold a couple of ladies came to visit for the first time from Philadelphia hoping to have the 'experience' and we struck up conversation as I mentioned that I was asked to speak at a conference on divorce and separation from my kids this September in their area only to find out that the ladies are just 2 miles from the conference center and one of the ladies was trying to help her sister through a high conflict divorce who was being separated from her children. The fish is for the people! #elevationchurch
The fish is not for me, it is for people🙏🏽🙏🏽 . One of the reasons why I love Elevation Church is the way the word of God is brought with honesty and simplicity. God bless you, Pastor Dustin
This is God's battle. I can't fight it only he can. He will deliver me out of this hard season to be a light for someone else. I pray dear God to give me strength the cling to you and your word. I know I'm going through this now but later I will see your plan. Your plan to teach me so I can teach others about your love and never ending grace!🙏 I cant understand why my house burned after losing my father in law and now losing my job I felt secure at. My life has been in chaios and disarray but God had a PLAN! I am his! He never leaves me or forsakes me. I will trust him.
Well I have to say I just finished crying the cries of the full onslaught of unbelievable betrayals I have been through. are so alienating that I can't even find one person to relate to what I've been through for years.
Thank you for blessing me by sharing that. Literally I just felt less misunderstood.
Pain there is a purpose to reach others for Christ 🙌🙌🙌
What a awesome message! All the times ive heard this passage I've never thought of it like this. Everything I've went through may not have even been for me, it was for other people!! Praise God!
Pastor Dustin never heard about you but today I watched 2 of your sermons including this one and God spoke to me through your words. You are an amazing Pastor that is changing lives with your sermons. I hope to watch more of you on the name of Jesus that he choosen you for teaching people his love for all sinfulls. Amen!
Dustin you hit this one out of the park man! Well said. So honest and down to earth.
Amen.. There is a purpose greater than ourselves. Fish for men as you give fish for men. What a blessed, timely and powerful sermon. 🙏🏼
Because He Said So.. I Will Amen ❤ 💯
This was deep
Wow God can bring so many revelations from one scripture. Every version of this scripture I’ve heard has touched me and been so important for each season of my life. Same scripture different meaning same grey God. I needed that today.
Yes! The word of God is active and alive! Sharper than a two edged sword! Felt the same. God is so good!! He knows what we need!🤗🤗
Even the same effect I had listening to message last week.. Its really powerful.. Amen ❤ 💯
It takes so much courage to allow yourself to be vulnerable like this FOR GOD. May the Lord bless Pastor Stradley. It was a remarkable sermon. It brought me to tears. At the same time, I was laughing at his jokes but the best part was that at the end of the sermon, I had this peace....that everything will be alright. Yea, it definitely doesn't make sense.
Wow, this sermon just randomly appeared on my CZcams home page screen this evening. I received some news a couple of days ago which I feel doesn't make sense and have been very disheartened for the last couple of days. I struggled to go to church this morning and even struggled to worship. Now by going to church, receiving a bible reading from a friend and listening to this sermon which all linked to things not making sense is really encouraging. Thank you, God for speaking to me in time of need and to Elevation church for publishing this online :)
OH AND NOW MY KIDS AND I ARE SAFE SO GLORY TO GOD IN JESUS NAME AMEN
This touches my heart of hearts. It spoke to my past , relating it to the present and the future. Also spoke to me about one of my sons, who is now not only saved, but stepped into his purpose as a “ chosen” one. Not sure exactly what that means in full, but Jesus told him this in one of his many visitations. Sometimes I’m jealous of his calling, or used to be, until recently, his work on a daily basis is a lot. Study all the time. Out of this world and into God’s. It’s amazing. Hallelujah praise God
Been waiting for the upload. Eager to hear the word of God
Me too man
His promises is gonna happen in our life.
Rafael Mendoza And they don’t usually look the way we thought they would. Many times the promises are here but we don’t see it. God Bless you
@@pamelawebb2328 so true
Because of this message, I now know why he's called me to this place in my life. Awesome Message. God Bless.
The FISH are for the people!!! WOW!!! This was so good ! Mind-blowing! 🤯 Thank you Lord for using him to deliver your message today. 😊🙏🏽
Your Testimony is Someone's prophecy!! Great Sermon
It’s amazing what God lays on your heart. I normally watch the sermons or short clips ALL the time but I haven’t had a chance to lately. I’m finally able to and this sermon comes across my feed.
I’m a new teacher, worked my first year uncertified and now in a teach certification program and I am STRUGGLING to find a job. When he said applied for 20 jobs in 2 months...I’ve probably applied to way more than that to be honest and still nothing. The whole ‘this doesn’t make sense’ is so true! ❤️
I know I need to persevere no matter what so I am and continue to pray about it everyday. But man...it’s so frustrating sometimes watching others who don’t work as hard get the job or that have a bad attitude get it. I’m staying positive though. I believe T.D. Jakes said something like it but looking back, my success/survival rate is 100% so why should I doubt it now?! ❤️
Pastor Steven’s sermons have literally changed my marriage with ‘The Other Half’ series a few years ago. My husband has even cut both sermon videos using the key points that hit us the hardest into a 1 minute video for us to refer to or use in our small group at church when needed. It’s just amazing what God and these 2 sermons have done for our lives and marriage! So I know He’s not done yet! ❤️
God speak to me through this message God bless you Pastor
Gods word is still alive and still relevant today! Thank you for speaking from your heart and being obedient to God!
THE MESSAGE GODS STILL GOTS THIS
great word , now
l know that it is FISH FOR THE PEOPLE , GOD WILL use me to teach and encourage others on how GOD has worked on me.
Ditto
I just watched this and listened to the word today and I am in tears! My husband has backed away from Jesus for a while now. He used to preach at our former church in Oklahoma and did so well. God used him to help others. I have tried to talk to him to find out why he has left God but he told me its not my concern so I just pray to God that he finds him again. Can I get some witnesses and people to pray with me that he will find God again please? Thank you Dustin for the awesome word that you preached.
Terri, thanks for sharing with us! We are standing in prayer with you for your husband! 🙏
I’m expecting my first grand baby in less than a month and my daughter has been struggling with mental health. Before I opened my eyes yesterday morning I heard a voice say “shits about to get real”. And all of the sudden peace and calmness flooded my entire body. I know it was the Lord telling me to show her the way. I jumped out of bed and wrote her a poem. I had to drop it off at her door because of being exposed to covid last week. Please God guide us and let this be a beautiful journey for us all. 🙏
One of the best sermons ever ty god bless u
Dustin bought da HEAT! #🔥 SO GOOD to be reminded that when we encounter those hard battles down here , it's 4 others. Just as our Pastor Steven tells us when I CAN'T CHANGE the situation, ask Holy Spirit to CHANGE my perspective OF the situation! Dustin YOU were USED INCREDIBLY used by Abba Father on THIS mgs!
HE IS AN ONTIME GOD! YES HE IS!
Yes Thank God!!
Yea... I keep getting the same lesson over and over that God had control and I don't. And he always lands me in the best spot that I need to be at
YES - so well said!!!!!!🙏😇🤗🔥
I want to say that the last sermon I watched , You spoke on trouble with sermons, You are doing an amazing job delivering Gods message! Great job!
This is one of the best sermons I have ever heard 🥰
Thank you, man of God for answering God's call on your life. God IS an on time God. This message reached me right on time.
Pastor Dustin has me in the happiest tears!! I have known this in my heart lately and God has been speaking it to me and this word is another confirmation! Amen praise God! Thank you pastor🙌🙌🙌
Wow the lord is really using him! I feel like I can relate and I'm learning so much.
God Blessed me with Elevation Church EFam and Pastor Steven to me when I was was in dark sad place . The word of God held me I knew there will be light at the end of all of the pain darkness And now I don’t face it alone Thank You God Yes I have my beautiful family and their love but I push it aside for my self pitty Like no one ever hurt or was in the kinda accident I was in This has been over the course of a few years I still may not walk and my memory is worst as is the pain I can’t afford dr Hosp meds So I ask for help and pray if God sees me going down that path then I will but I know everything is fine I have everyone my EFam and my family God Bless
God is with each one of us
Fish for people! What a word!
That sermon was for me. Just what i needed to hear from God. I had been in a period of addictions where it was so hard to believe in God but i can feel a breakthrough is coming in a big way.. i know God will use my story for the good of others.. the fish is for the people..wonderful message Pastor Dustin.
We need an Elevation location in California!!!!!!!!!! LA or Anywhere in Southern Cali🙏🙏🙏
Start one, you can do it.
Many people do it at their homes and just put it on
Amazing sermon.Truly blessed
Powerfull! Just the Word That I needed to hear, thank you JESUS!
God thank you. I was in a spot the other night with all these feelings and insecurities and what not, I prayed for a message of hope. In that moment I didn’t find any and now this one comes along and it’s exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you god you always come through when I need it most. Amen.
Pastor Dustin! That was sooo good! My (adult) daughter and I watched together today, and we are both so encouraged! We've been going through a long season of loss, grief, and ongoing severe pain from spinal disease, and we're clinging to the Vine, but since we can't do many physical activities, we can't often accomplish our daily activities or social activities. This was such a great message, God-inspired. Thank you for pushing past the fear and obstacles that you encountered prior to this message! It has produced much fruit already! God continue to bless and encourage you!
God wants to use us as his vessel .to give love where there’s hate,peace,faithfulness,affection obedience
this nessage was tooo goood! i was literally feeling like a failure last couple of days... with insecurites, dealing with sickness not being able to do much, and meeting someone new and talking to them about our future, to me i was thinking look at him and look at me, it doesnt make sense! this message really connected with me, so specifically too!!! FIRST MESSAGE IVE HEARD FROM PASTOR DUSTIN, THIS WAS GREAT!
That message was sooooo good and so on point!!!
Favourite Sermon in awhile! Thanks for the message! 🙏🏻💕
thank you! now I can really embrace my past, and my husband's adhd and anxiety ..
I’m going through this right now. My engagement failed and I am so hurt but maybe it’s not for me.. I might be going through this so that it will be part of my testimony... I might be able to help someone else one day just like this pastor helped me.. funny thing is this video just popped up and started playing.. I wasn’t even searching for it.. God is so Good!
Amen I'm a Fish for people even if it doesn't make sense right now
Amen 🙏 ‘fish for people’ Amen
I have tried everything... your story and sermon was a blessing as well as fish for people. Ty
This was so good and powerful. Thank you for a new perspective on fishers of men
“It doesn’t have to make sense to work.” “Breakthrough is always on the other side of obedience.” I went through my past to help others.
love the pun, "FISH FOR PEOPLE" !! never interpreted this scripture text like that.... the fact that they left everything behind, it's usually interpreted otherwise, but I love this new revelation! truly Spirit inspired. God Bless him
Thank you so much for this.. I really was confused today and i picked up my phone and i saw this doesn't make sense... Indeed at that point in that time God was really not making sense and i really almost ignored an instruction but though it doesn't make sense, IT WORKS.. Thanks elevation church.. God bless you.. More Grace Thank you Pastor Dustin, thanks Steven and Holly.. I love you big time
This was an amazing sermon. Thank you so much Pastor, this was much needed! Thank you for your word of GOD!
I needed to hear this at this moment in my life. Thank you God. Thank you.
Soooo good!! Exactly what my season has been "doesn't make sense"
powerful message
Failures
Imperfections
Sin
History
=Fish
Sometimes it’s not about you. It’s about God using your experience or testimony to change and help someone. To let them know that if I can do it for him/her, you are no exception of my Grace. I can do it for YOU too. Nothing God does is for a waste. It may not be use in this season but it’ll be use in the ones to come. It (whatever IT is) doesn’t make sense now but it’s happening at the right time~Ecclesiastes Ch 3:1. Help us Lord to obey your word and withstand the storm so that our lives and experiences can be a platform for You and You alone to be glorified.
such a good sermon; God I give you my FISH!
Thank you.
AMEN 🙏
Wow what a sermon hope God let’s u preach more in the days to come. Love pastor Steven but wow elevation is truly blessed with many great people of God
We need a elevation church in Richmond Va
What if Breakthrough often times is never about what we get but it is God breaking us that we may fall in love more with Jesus, To help see that we don't follow shallow things.
I so wish that Pastor Steven would come to Troy Montana!
Wow doesn't have to make sense but it works,,., just what I needed ,,, thank u sir

Greetings from Sydney
Pastor Steven .... we love you.
Powerful sermon God bless you..
I sure understand Peter he is me one minute I'm up one minute I'm down one minute I'm sorry for what I have done one minute I'm hate myself for the things that I have done and then I remember that Jesus loves me and he calms my life and then I do understand Everything he has done for me and I'm So Thankful because without him I would be nothing Thank you Pastor Dustin and Pastor Steven♥✌to you all
Such, a good Word!
I love when a good person and pastor and passion for others not trust us but for them believe beautiful and ugly things. We can’t believe that evil words mean you or I are evil it’s not about us to be insulted God is so good about being even more maybe able to use it even if since two cents is worthless
Because you say so God.. I WILL!!
Amén! Thank you for letting GOD use you, this has really encouraged me!
"It didn't stop there"
Obedience
18:27 but God said and He sees you created by Him
20:00 He loves us anyway so that I can be set free from the sin
29:14 the fish they're were never meant for Peter but for the people
30:18 what you went through to help people who has the same imperfections, sin,
Jesus determined who we are to be use by Him for a lifelong journey
To know that God didn't give up on me
Thru this chruch (the body of Christ, as one) I've got saved and experienced His love like it's for the 1st time ever in your life it felt so so real
For the people experience the same grace and reach out for a mission to those far from God too, but about our need to be raised to life in Christ
It's not just about a Story, it has a message behind for us to have an understanding and share it
33:14 For a purpose, behind the pain that God's glory can use it, is greater than just the pain itself that makes sense
All
work together for good because He is good and because of who He is
for those who love Him
According to His plan, it's not wasted
Wow praise the Lord I want to see him more!!
