      Elevation Church Oh boy how was I not impacted! It made me realize that I need to show my daughters more appreciation for how hard they are trying at this life. Shedding light on them should surely lift their spirits😊 Also, I realize everything I say to someone could potentially be a seed. I must water it with the love of Jesus and always show His glorious light!!! Amen and thank you Jesus🙏😊❤️

      Absolutely phenomenal I was really touched by this sermon because sometimes we have the potential but not even sure if it’s going to explore at anytime. Pastor Steven said that you have to release it and stop trying to predict the potential of your seed! Just sow it!

    Pastor Steven I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I want to say this sermon was for me. It felt like you were talking to me , that God was talking to me through you. I’ve never ever been religious. I had my battles with believing if God was even real. Today I say more then ever he is real and has talked to me through you. I found your video the day I had a belt wrapped around my neck ready to leave this earth that has been so cruel to me. Whenever I’m feeling not so great I’ll go back and listen to older sermons. You have no idea how much you Pastor Steven and Elevation Church have impacted little old me. Thank you so much!

    Randomly picked this sermon to listen while working. I have been struggling with my 16 year old teenage boy with ADHD. The reason I have to mentioned with ADHD is because it is a different ball game. I was so hopeless and angry at the same time. Hate to let him go and watch him fail. But sometimes that's what need to happen. I was worried people will judge my parenting skill, what a failure it is. I start comparing him with other kids. I was so tired!
    Thru this sermon, I truly believe it speaks directly to me. I need to let go and let God works in him and trust Him fully.
    Thank you for this sermon, and thank God for speaking to me clearly.

    "Everytime you judge the process you interrupt it." I've almost thwarted my potential by judging the process that God was bringing me through. There's been seasons of my life where I've thought I needed to move, get a new job, find a new people, when in actuality I just need to stay planted. In those seasons, my potential is revealed in the process. This message help bring clarity to previous seasons of life. Loved this message!

      Say that again my brother. I almost quit my job in search for seemingly greener pastures elsewhere in 2018 when the still voice inside me kept telling me to stay put and wait because my promotion was on the way.
      I kept asking myself “how God” because the ground had been dry for any promotion to come by. 3 senior colleagues resigned in a space of 7 months including my boss, and I was promoted in March 2019, and again April 2019.
      Had they hired me where I was hoping they would, there’s no way I would be earning what I’m currently earning. Yet I blamed God when I wasn’t hired. I didn’t understand why I was not reaping with all the sowing I had been doing.
      Here I’m today earning almost double what I was earning 12 months ago. Glory be to God in the highest

    Day 105 !
    In order to see the potential you must go through the process .
    If you try control the opportunity you'll strangle the seed.
    You don't have to be in a good mood to sow the seeds. Seed will grow anyway.
    Let it go and watch it grow.

    @betsyasher3033 Před 3 lety +1

    I’ve been listening to you for about a year now. The Holy Spirit has been guiding me in ways I thought were not possible. Your sermons speak to me in consequent coincidences. I woke up the other night, and I heard “god speaks in landmarks” satisfaction comes with action. I’ve been wanting to visit your church, or one of them. And I heard “concord” I am searching, and I see a town concord close to Charlotte. I think that means something. I have days I feel my faith is low, or I wake up and wish the rapture would just come, I pray over my marriage, for people who need a prayer and don’t even know they need a prayer, I pray over my 6 kids, I pray for eyes to be opened like mine have, and strength to continue planting seeds. Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Bless you and your family and your church. I feel alone in darkness surrounding me, and maybe I’m to be the light , hearing you helps me not feel alone. Thank you.

    @Kdunksallday Před 4 lety +1

    Last night as I prayed for encouragement through this storm (my husband walked out 90 days ago; now through texts, he tells me he was in a really bad place and leaving was better than doing something that would cause me to hate him) I am a believer and I believe God is working but we are still living separately and every carnal bone in my body wants to say forget it. So I asked God for a word and this morning, like many mornings I turned on CZcams to watch sermons and this sermon was the first one I saw. It gave me the encouragement i needed, my word. Please pray for us to see things from a different perspective and that we release bitterness, disappointment and discouragement so we can receive God's blessings and purpose for our marriage. Thank you elevation church. Your ministry blesses me daily.

    Sermon notes : Ecc 11:5-6
    *There is a process by which evrything fertilizises
    *Aynthing God breathes into🌬 becomes life
    *The only way for potential to be revealed is to embrace the process ❗️
    * You can never know the potential of a seed by just looking at it. (it’s too soon to tell)
    *It won’t be shown until you sow (You won’t see it until you actually sow it )🔥
    *Some things we go thru isn’t from the enemy but God ploughing getting the ground ready!!
    *God is ploughing us
    *A seed goes into the ground to multiple 👏🏽
    *You never have to say goodbye to anything you give God
    *The sower must release the seed to see the plant
    *LET it GO and WATCH it GROW 🔥👏🏽
    *What God has put inside of you is looking for a place to grow, don’t give up
    Release anything that is hindering your potential
    *The seed has to remain in order to reproduce.
    *There is power in Remaining ❗️
    *What is around the seed ,determines what’ll come outta it (Check your surroundings)
    *Keep sowing, keep watering &Keep trusting
    * Potential is revealed in progress
    *The attack comes when harvest is near, So don’t you give up❤️

    Pastor Steven Furtick,
    You made me understand about what bible said, what God want me to be.
    I read the bible but, I don't really understand what it meant, until you explain, give meaning from the bible. I'm so grateful and thanking God, to send my son Ryan McIntosh, a Christian from Seattle, Washington came down to California, to rescue me, before my breast cancer Surgery. My son, text me your CZcams address, to listen and worship open my eyes, and l know it's God plan on me. Now I'm in processing of recovery, I let it go and release everything to God's plan. My son preach me, explain to me what God plan for me, just like you.
    I listen to you, each morning, afternoon and before I go to bed. My son also found me a church. After 2 days being here. He went back home to his family in Washington, after his 2 days being here and his mission to God. "God bless my son" God is good. Amen! 🙏

    Let me start by saying I have faith in God, his plans for me. I've been out of work for a month and my rent is coming up. Got a new job but to be honest I feel uncertain. I feel like I'm being pulled in a different direction. It might involve picking up and leaving my current situation. Been struggling with this for a long time. I've dealt with a lot of personal issues including the death of my brother 2 years ago. I feel like there are too many distractions in my life keeping me from a better relationship with the Lord. My current lifestyle I know isn't pleasing to him, but I feel like I'm stuck in a endless loop of working jobs to pay rent but I lack direction.I put too much importance on what I own and going after things that don't matter. I feel like I need a fresh start so I can in my walk. I'm dealing with vision problems and my eyesight is deteriorating. What a wonderful resource this church is, and I hope to be able to be able to do the things God has put on my heart. It's wonderful seeing the joy and the love in you pastor because you're doing his will and bringing glory to his name. Thank you for the encouragement. God bless elevation and it's members.

    Awesome sermon. 🙌🏾🙏🏾 "It's always too soon to quit on something God put on the inside of you".
    "The only way for potential to be revealed is for the process to be embraced"
    "Sometimes, it's good ground but needs ploughing. So, God is ploughing us to get our hearts ready"
    "You don't have to be in a good mood to sow. The seed doesn't care!!" 🙌🏾🙌🏾 "You could sow a smile". Thank you so much man of God. These words and more stood out to me😁😊🙏🏾 I really felt it. God bless 🙏🏾

    WOW! This touched me on another level - I've been praying and asking God to reveal how he wants to use me next and after all the wise counsel, this brings everything full-circle. I need to continue to RELEASE those seeds and REMAIN with those seeds I've sown. Praying that everyone in the EC team keeps up this amazing stewardship. You're truly transforming 100s of thousands of lives everyday with the word. The ending was crazy! 🤯

    Hey guys!
    Yesterday as i was going to my home in my bike, A HUGE TREE fell on me. It was so huge that it broke my bike's mirror and bent my bike's iron handle bar. If i was 2-3 feet ahead i would've been crushed and wouldve been in a hospital.But by the grace of God i'm alive and safe!
    So i give him all the glory and all the honor and all the praise! Christ is not and never a religion. He lives. It is possible to touch him. It is possible to hear him. If you believe in your heart that he died for your sins, you will be saved.

    I cannot express in words how this teaching as soaked my dry “skin”. My husband and I watched this sermon together when you preached it live. He has since passed away. I have relied more on God and my faith has grown immensely since. I have been blessed beyond measure in such great sadness. This word, was for me one year later. I am touching dry bones daily and my perspective has been shifting for 8 months. Now, it will shift further. I claim this!! Thank you for being a willing vessel for our Lord!!

    I've been listening and listening for the past few months since finding your sermons and this one sermon HITS my HEART! You were talking to me!!!!
    Potential.. purpose... through the brokenness, through the abuse, no identity, neglect and molestation, reckless movement, aimless goals, bad relationships, no foundation, no anything .. but Potential.. After coming to Christ 10 years ago all of it bubbled up over the past ten years, all the reasons where I was in life and now I have seen the potential and purpose of it all. Your word encourages me persevere towards the harvest .. all that I have to REAP.. in Jesus name... Thank you for the Holy Spirit to work through others to get to those who need to hear, feel, heal, love and unlearn what the devil and world has told them for so long! Thank you Thank you Thank you Jehovah God! You are an Awesome God! I shall praise you always!

    Pastor Stevens. It was me, i use to be involved in my church in California. Since i been in Idaho, i have had a white knuckle grip on my sead. Most businesses here are own by Mormons. I dont agree with the teachings. I have slowly stop sharing the truth. Except little little things here and there. Now i have Gods spirit come alive to me through ALL your teachings.
    End of dec 2019. Getting off the frwy. The holy spirit breathed on me. No audible voice. But the spirit showed me. Give me your all in 2020. I have not stop crying over the LOVE GOD HAS SHOWN ME. Your passion in your teachings. I miss i use to teach the Youth. Thank you. Pastor. Love you, brother. .

    When he talked about digging up the seed before it's ready ---> me. Our family word for this year is "remain" and I love how God is bringing a fresh perspective on what that means for where I am right now. I'm impatient in the process of potential most of the time. But remain doesn't mean idle - the process is active, so I'm asking myself - where am I being idle in the process of remaining where I should be active? What if I've actually slowed down the process of potential?? Layers on layers on layers.
