  • Whenever we go out in this season we’re reaching for our masks and gloves to protect ourselves from an invisible virus. Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC is helping us keep our minds safe from fear, frustration, and even an unhealthy obsession with ”the facts.” He says, “We need medical masks for our minds,” so we can “Focus On The Fruit.”
    Building from two key Bible passages, Philippians 1 verses 12-22 written by the Apostle Paul while he was in prison and Romans 8 verses 18-28 Pastor Steven is continuing with more quarantine encouragement, following messages like “Looking Forward To Normal” (ele.vc/Di8Ujh) and “A Lesson In Letting Go (ele.vc/B4tEKI).”
    Romans 8 verse 28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Even if we feel like we’ve been given a prison sentence in this season, we can choose to focus on the word of God, Live the fruit of the spirit, and we can choose to turn graves into gardens.
    When you watch this message, you’ll learn how to shift your mind to the only thing you really can control -what you choose to focus on. You’re going to learn the freeing power of embracing the phrase, “I don’t know.”
    While the media and politicians are scrambling to find the facts and people are becoming more and more paralyzed waiting on vaccines, we can, instead, “Focus On The Fruit.” Pastor Steven Furtick says, “We are all equally ignorant about what’s next,” so we may as well focus on what’s now and expect God to meet us in the middle. “What I’m going through is nothing compared with what God is going to do through it.”
    Don’t focus on your frustrations, your fears or even the facts, in this season, we need to “Focus On The Fruit.”
    Here are some similar encouraging messages you can watch:
    The Prison Of Offense (8/15/2016) - ele.vc/8j2cjX
    Choosing Your Chains (7/23/2018) - ele.vc/Z4zFFo

    Since I've started watching you its been at work, home and while driving. Its been every day of the week. And most the times 2 to 3 times a day. You make me crave the word of God more than any other preacher and its funny you say you don't know what we need to hear. Yet you preach everything I need.

    I dont usually do this but God's presence is strong where I am. This morning, my mom wasn't well and I had errands that needed attending, so I left her at home and thought I'd be only but a few minutes...The car I went with broke down at the mall and lol I began to stress. Internally I knew that God needs my attention so I kept quiet and listened. There was a man whom I approached to ask him to help jump start the car and the man happened to look like Pastor Steve lol. After we left I didn't hear God say anything but my mind was clear because I was very stressed and full of anxiety.. I asked Him gently to help me with fix my focus on Him and His word and promises...i'm now on youtube and I knew in my spirit that this word was what I needed to hear. Faith is the things I hope for and the evidence of things not yet seen. Whoever is reading this... I pray you never give up. Never stop believing in the God in you. You're gonna be okay. All the way from South Africa. Bless you Pastor and Elevation church

    I've been hanging on by a thread. My parents and sisters died last year, and last month my husband of 26 years wants to have a mid-life crisis and has never believed in God. Some days, I listen to his sermons non-stop, one after the other. But today, I am sobbing and finally feel that it is going to be ok and that my pain has a purpose. And that my faith means everything to me. Thank you Pastor Steven. You are a gift from the Lord. You save my life every day.

    My knowledge in the Bible and my faith in the Lord has seriously been
    ELEVATED...

    Notes
    He turns mourning to dancing
    Plug it with a purpose
    God's presence isn't limited to a physical location
    Philippians chapter 1
    Romans 12
    Offended is a decision
    I'm wonderfully weird
    Philippians 1:22
    I don't know how this will turn out
    Paul saw a purpose in the prison
    We're locked down
    The church has to make it without Paul's physical presence
    Focus on the fruit
    While you're waiting, learn to worship
    Worship= make you ready
    Physically I'm quarantined
    Advance means to go forward even when things are in your way
    Being quarantined has served to advance to gospel
    What's happening in me is more important than what's happening to me
    Something is taking root in your heart
    In this season God is teaching me to focus
    Why wait? I thought you were the church?
    I want something sustainable
    Focus on what God is doing through this
    Knowing that you don't know makes you open to wisdom
    The truth is in the tension
    I'm focused on what God is doing in me
    The only thing you can really control is your focus
    Not talking about physical focus but emotional and spiritual focus
    Limit your intake of the news
    More fruit
    God is for me, so who can be against me?
    The love of Christ is beyond my comprehension
    Adam and Eve lost focus
    I'm getting my priorities right
    Our need to know keeps us from receiving
    I am who God says I am
    It's more normal for us to hide
    Romans 8
    What do you want to focus on? Frustration or the fruit?
    God is setting me free
    We do not know
    The Spirit helps us in our weakness
    I'm going to see the goodness of God
    I know I'm called
    Romans 8:18
    Apo= to turn away
    Cara= head
    I'm not going off what the world goes off of
    I've got a reason to be grateful
    I'm looking forward to my fruit on the other side!
    Hey guys hope these were of help! God is for you ❤️ (I apologize for any typos or spelling errors)

    This sermon proved to me that I hear Gods voice now, he spoke to me Friday night telling me that he won’t tell me my story and what’s gonna happen at the end of this season. He told me “I will never tell you a clear yes or no, if you hear that it’s not me” this fortified that’s I don’t need a yes or no about anything bc my hope doesn’t blossom when I get those answers, it blossoms when I remember how good my God is and how much he loves me

      Something doesn't sound right, and I'm not sure if it's in the way you explained it. God does give a clear YES OR NO....and it can sound like this, "this is my will or this isn't my will". To not get a clear understanding isn't from God. He might not show us everything but along the way you'll know from Him if you're in the right or wrong.

      Hannah Williams I should’ve made it clearer, I had a horrible habit of asking questions about my future in my brain about specific things and ppl and was getting unhealthy direct yes or no from something that wasn’t God. God told me that in regard to whenever I ask a specific question about my future not stuff like his will for me in the present that if I ever heard a strong yes or no like I used to that it wasn’t him
