"That's why I need God so much.
Cause not only I can't make the big decisions right without Him, but I also don't even know which ones are big unless He tells me"
i thank God for technology i am blessed by Steven Furtick Sermons HE HEARS ME
Literally sitting in the office fighting back tears.I always beat myself up for not trying harder and making dumb decisions in the past that has led me where I am today.I usually sit and think soo hard trying to figure out how I will get of here but hearing this made me realize that all I have to do is trust Him and not understand how.
I love your comment! I am the exact same! I use to talk about what others have done to me. How they have betrayed me. The dumb decision of giving people chance after chance to betray me... And I get hard on myself, but I am now beyond blaming others and allowing myself to know that I allowed others to do me that way, but from now on i will accept the blame myself and carry on by trusting God and his word!!!
Keep up the good work of following god. He works through us all
3 take aways
1. The decisions you think are important are sometimes insignificant, but the ones that seem small are the pivotal (important) ones
2. Put a purpose on it, knowing that this is from the Lord and you are not going through this for no reason
3. Pray that the Lord will use all of your decisions, even the dumb ones, for His purpose in your life
When God snacthes something that is priceless out of your life you have to pivot. There was no reason or answers to the question why. I had to pivot and totally rely on Him to see me through.
He called my 26 yr old daughter Dana into His Heavenly Arms. I return all Praise, Honor and Glory back to King Jesus for carrying me.
I Love You Lord.
@Ava Hendrix So sorry for your loss. Dana will be 4 years this 3/15. My Dad passed 2 weeks later and my Mom 2 months after that.
Godbless both of you, your testimony gives me strength. When things don’t go the way we plan we have to pivot and continue walking forward even when it’s tough. Easy to say, however it’s the lifestyle and walking by faith and trusting God.
Praise God for your positive attitude and outlook on life! You are so blessed. He is using you to bless others, Amen!
Bill Bowman Oh prayers for your heart. God bless you.
@Ava Hendrix and @Bill Bowman, I pray God continue to heal your heart, sorry you had to experience these painful events
Thank you GOD for the sermon this morning .🙌 Amen
This is from the lord! Last year I got burnout and depressed! I was in a dark place but I know God put me there to learn to love myself unconditionally! I now look back and think what an experience and how much I grew since then
Wow could I ask what you were experiencing as part of your burnout?
Last year was rough for a lot of ppl😓
currently going through this!
The Secret Mom Diary same!
@@SwaggaLikeSyders I'm also going through this right now
God bless my son more than more Amen Hallelujah 🙏🙏
Thank you Mr. Furtick Glory to God, Father Son and Holy Spirit may God bless you and keep you and give grace to you in Yeshuas name amen
This message was for me, right here and right now! This is from The Lord!
Thank you God and thank you Steven Furtick for seeking His face, listening and speaking this to God’s children! I am PIVOTING!!!
Praise the Lord! Misty, we love having you as a part of our precious eFam & hearing how the Lord is faithful to meet you right where you are. As you continue to trust & seek Him, He will never fail to lavish His Love & Goodness upon you. Jesus loves you!🧡
Judges 13-14 God is always in control and we need to learn to change (Pivot) our ways, thoughts, to always be focused on His Priority, Plan, and Purpose.
Belinda Cooper so good! Because at the end of the day His plan for our life will always end up being the best plan for us anyways with the best outcome that could ever happen.
@Sam Junes Thank you! ;)
@Sam Junes You are right Tinkerbell, unicorns and Santa (that is for free) do not exist But Our Awesome and Wonderful Creator does not need me to defend Him. Proof of His existence is all around us. Believe or not but one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess He is Lord.
@Sam Junes I am glad you can see my what you call "nice"-ness ... well that comes from a relationship with Jesus, not religion. From what I gather, you are rather lost and that is why you are commenting on this video. If you did not believe and were so set against God then why even click on a church sermon? Maybe God is calling you and inviting you to listen. I will pray that whatever hurt you feel from whatever happened to you, that you can come to know Jesus because He will heal you. As far as weak minded, having faith is trusting in what you can not see. That requires a strong mind because I will trust in Him and not need to know all the answers. I would suggest since you like to read, research history and see that Jesus is real. May you find peace and truth.
Yes Belinda blessing to you
I paint and listen to these sermons, I let them play so that they play randomly. This spoke to me so much 🙌🏽 Love from New Zealand!
I finally realised that you were only drawing me closer to you than allowing me to feel like I need people the way I thought I did thank you jesus🙏
Thanks Lord for this ministry. Now with COVID-19, we cannot go to church but I feel closer to God.
What a powerful sermon! I love you pastor Steven, I thank God for His anointing upon your life. You are one of the best preachers in the world. No wonder your ministry is growing. You are a blessing to this generation and beyond. God bless you 🙏
Pastor Steven, I just got home from a bible study. Its Ben a rough couple months. My daughter was diagonist with loops and this week my son had an accident cutting his hand at a friend's. House badly. I have been struggling with a pivotal desscion to sue the people to help with hospital bills. But I made a pivitol decision tonight to put my faith in God to take care of him and our financial needs instead. This was just a freak accident and I don't want to hurt more people. I know that this is from the lord and it is an opportunity to show Gods love to these people and also the grace and mercy I've been shown to them and to my son
I thank God for using you as a tool to speak his word, bless you
He will bring u out of and put u into situations internal or external. He’s a true pure love loyal faithful kind patient selfless self sacrificing and gives free will just as equally as his wrath, his anger, his hurt, his judgment, his criticism, all his glory and all his ugly. He is everything NC
God makes No mistakes.
1 mistake. Noahs ark. But he promised this to never happen again
Chattey it may be tempting to believe this, but our mind is merely a cup of water filled to the brim and Our Father the Ocean.
@@adamcab7599 you are smarter than me. im only a 13 year old seeking my own belief. thank you for shining some light on this
@@chatti06 that was not a mistake. Even when mistakes happens along the way, God will find a way to use that "mistake" to redirect u to the purpose he created u for. Detours will happen but God always makes sure we arrive to where he wants us 2 go. We just dnt realize it bcoz we hv no spiritual eyes and ears to comprehend his plans.
@@chatti06Awww Chattey, God bless u. U are in the right place...my msg above may come as too strong...bt i pray that u understand it❤
Thank you God for this message. He is sovereign. We can plan and try to push our agenda but HIS WILL will prevail. Amen.
I’m from Ghana, and many of the decisions our leaders make for our country are pretty much dumb. I pray there’s a method to this madness. Dear God please use these dumb decisions too🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Even if You didn’t cause it, there is nothing You can’t do. Amen. Thank you for this message
There is so much societal pressure, even in the church, to "know" the plan and have "understanding" for life decisions but this message is so true to what God does when logic and analysis don't bring the answer. He is Spirit and He comes in fire with sacrifice and trust. Thank you for this message to the "planners" who make "dumb mistakes". This is from the Lord and It is beyond understanding.
That was and is soooo powerful... It's just amazing! I wish everyone ear could hear this!
🙌🙌🙌
I can’t explain how much this message was for and about me. GOD used it for good. This is from the lord, and I am blessed according to his will. Thank you GOD
Thank you Pastor Steven Furtick for living God's mission for you! 🙏 I consider you as my Pastor! 👈 God speaks to me through you. 🗣️ Things that our Lord says to me, are confirmed by sermons you speak! 👂 I don't know how God does it, I just trust him! ✊ The things you say encourage me to live out the mission God has for me with my music. 🎼👨🎤 The devil 😈 has been attacking me and trying to stop me from my mission. But with your words that God has given you to speak, keep me going! 👀👣
He hear me...x10000000times he hears my secret frustration ....this sermon strengthens me
PIVOTTTTT! Yes Lord, put a purpose on it.
Thank You God for the miracle of technology!
God truly speaks through him. He is always prepared with the next words....God is speaking through him.
God is so good and is taking care of me and this generation. I pray that this generation looks to him and not the worldly desires. We need God in the world
Thank you for reaching out! We ask the father to help us be the change that we want to see in our world today, to be light and salt, so people will see us and emulate us and the name of Jesus be praised, amen!
Blessings!!!

Put A Purpose On It. Ty Lord for the purposes, in my life !!!
God is Sovereign, but you are responsible.
Amen !!! Ty Lord For Pastor Steven Furtick.
I have learned over my short 38 years that God is always in control even when I feel like nothing is in control or going right. I just have to wait some length of time and I can see God when I look back at the bigger picture.
I watch your sermons over and over again on shuffle Lol
Thanks Pastor Steven!
God can do good through our failures and mistakes.
His messages always match my situation. God is definitely using Pastor Steven. God bless you and your family pastor!
I WILL PIVOT THIS FOR UR GLORY!!
Samson fell asleep on Delilah’s lap and woke up missing most of his hair but still had some left to repent and ask God to give him one more chance. We put our heads on this world and wake up bold unable to repent when judgement comes. Take care of your hair brothers and sisters before you fall asleep
I'm newly welcomed to elevations. I've only watched about 5 of pastor furticks sermon but my life has changed, my faith renewed, and my eyes open. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon this miracle. God bless you all. And thank you.
Welcome to the Elevation Church family, Matt! We are glad to hear of the ways God has blessed you! ^EC Team
This sermon was so 🔥 I could’ve listened to another 3 hours of it. Wow! Pivot! Pivot! Pivot! And execute .. Wow!! 👏👏👏
It's one of our favorites! Glad you could join us today, Crissy. 🧡
The spirit of the lord is on me, you are on fire pastor. Thank you for preaching the word in a way that I can understand. 🙏🙏🙏
Feel so so Blessed that I came across this video. Thank you Lord Jesus for hearing our prayers and getting us out from the confusion that we are facing in this season. We may not know the whole purpose of Your plan for us yet, but thank You for always watching over us in even during our darkest time, Amen!
Spirit of the Lord is on us.
I need a t-shirt that on the front says "watch for the" then in the lower left hand side on the back says "PIVOT" - Boom! 🙌🙏
Haha! Yasssss!
Lol dope
Wow! Thank you Jesus 🤍💖. This message is GROUNDBREAKING!
I like the humility Pastor Steven showed in this message. That is always the most effective approach, best indication of truth, and evidence that the message is coming from a godly source of wisdom.
This was 2 years ago but I've watched it just on time. This is indeed from the Lord. Thank you for this sermon 🥺
Thanks for tuning in, Diane. What part of this message connected with you the most?
@@elevationchurch "Because God is sovereign and Almighty, and the Lord is His name. He uses Samson's bad decisions to deliver the nation. If God did that for Samson, won't He do that for you?" I made a lot of mistakes, most of the time it felt like I was a disappointment because I could have done what's right in a situation but I did it badly anyway. This sermon just made me realized that perhaps my decisions, good or bad, were from the Lord. Perhaps I just ignored the parenthesis but now thank you because I was reminded once again that all things work according to His purpose. Praise the Lord!
😂😂
The parenting book 📖 👌 🙌
I pray God restores my relationship with them! 🙏🙏🙌🙌
THIS IS FROM THE LORD!
God wants to use the dumb stuff too! Praise God.. In the pivotal decisions..he sees the bigger picture
Love from India. This maybe God series is speaking straight to my heart
I continue to look to God for his purposes to be revealed since the death of my 22 year old son, though sometimes it's hard. God is faithfully ministering to and leading me and my family forward. The Lord is gracious and faithful. Thank you for this great message of confirmation.
All glory to God bless us all with your word and presence 🙏 thank you Jesus for your mercy grace and forgiveness in Jesus name amen hallelujah hallelujah glory to God 🙏
Lord help my dumb decisions in the past help others in my recovery center.
“Even a small decision sets a direction”
Samson was supposed to deliver his people from the Philistines, but he fell in love with what he was called to defeat! POWERFUL!🙏
That was always beyond me. My reaction the whole time after reading that.... 😕😶
A joke cracked last year can't make sense 10 years to come but the word of God is the light and will keep on speaking day in day out.
Thank you for preaching the living word.
Yesterday Today and Forever more
The way he speaks and makes it so wonderful to understand and he is a very awesome child of God, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for putting these sermons and his teachings in my life.
I have been waiting for this upload. Can't believe how these sermons are now part of my weekly activity.
Love that, Amaka!
So have I.
Same!! I bless God for His love for me in making access to sermons easy. Grateful to you Elevation Church for doing this
sameee 🙏🏻
I'm just finding out that what I've been watching is a year old. Today is 12Jan2020, I saw this Sermon last on Fox8 last Sunday morning!! But I really don't care. I may be out of sync but The Word Has Been Right On Time. I'm rebuilding my life from being laidoff, lost Apt, to now again having an Apt and receiving my Pension. My Continued Faith and waiting for Everything Happen In Gods Time. Pastor Steven has got me up when I didn't want to because I was so depressed from having Fibromyalgia, Eye Condition and High Blood Pressure. I missed him this morning but I'm Ok Now. I'll continue to be better now that I've regained my connection!!! Thank You Pastor Steven and Elevation Church. God Bless aka Reborn (The meaning of my name)
God delivered me from my depression and through His strength I pick myself up every day and pray all I do that day pleases Him
Thank you for sharing with us🧡 We pray God continues to give you strength every day!
"God, hears me louder than Seri."
Love how a word from 2 years ago can speak into my life right now. Thanks Elevation church for the reminder that Gods in control of it all. Even the dumb stuff
Thank you Lord for speaking through Pastor SF this is exactly what my spirit needed to hear.
Loved the message! Really hit home. I was thinking, what kind of message could be preached on the parents of Sampson? Your child is a gift, blessing from God but they stray from God, or what they were raised to believe. Thank God he can use the bad decisions in our lives and our kids lives!
Ty Hallelujah. Lord help me to see the purpose thru the storms in my life. 💞
Amen 🧡🙏
Finally... Been checking my CZcams the whole day....
Same here
Ditto!
Me too!!
Man this guy is good! He is relatable, articulate and explains things in a way I have never heard before. Thank you Pastor Steven. You are helping me navigate thru a difficult time in my life. You are helping me understand that while I don't see where things are going I have to accept the purpose and the process.
I’ve been struggling lately and was tapping through instagram. Praying for God to show/guide me in the direction He wants me to go and came across this sermon. What’s funny is that this is the very first sermon I watched online when I first discovered Elevation. God is so faithful and never fails to let me know He’s with me through it all
No matter how late I watch your videos the message is always on time 🙏🏽
AMEN Glory to God Grace and peace with God's People
There is so much in my life that I have not been looking for that God has for me. I don't know that that is what I'm supposed to receive from this message but that is what I have gotten. I do want to say that I wish that I had learned to preach the way that Pastor Steven preaches.
God thank you for using EVERYTHING even when it hurts me, even when it doesn’t make sense, even when it’s dumb and selfish. You still use it. And I’m so grateful.
God bless you Steven Furtick! I want to thank you.. every single time I listen to one of your sermons and I mean every single time, it just hits me, you say something that just, well it's God speaking through you and I thank you that you are such... how do I put this? an open vessel? That you just allow Him to flow through you and I know I'm not the only one who is so impacted by the words that flow through you thank you very very much
God bless you as well! ^EC Team
I've been in a bad place for a few years now, I can't describe it but I can feel god lifting me out, I just recently found this church a month ago and honestly, I don't know where I would be right now if I didn't find these sermons
Wow this is so good. He is right, I’ve never heard this story preached this way. God is bigger than my problems, his ways are higher than my own. When I don’t know the plan, I pivot to my purpose. Thank you for this!
@@dustymar4341 suspicious right?
@@dustymar4341 right by what..?
Pastor Steven, Sir! God is honored, so proud, to have a son like you!!!! As you're battles are daily, you're rewards will be many!!! You're a warrior !!!💪💪
God truly is proud.
He used the thing that they were supposed to have destroyed. To teach them to obey him
There is Power in the Pivot! #maybegod
God IS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING.
GOD I NEED YOU TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER
I CANNOT DO IT ALONE.
I NEED YOU GOD.
I AM FALLIBLE
YOU ARE THE SAME
YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER.

This message was a great blessing.They are priceless revelation for a personal relationship with God.
Awesome Stephana! Thanks for sharing! ^EC Team
I start my day every day with these sermons! That’s my “pivotal decision”. Thank you Pastor Steven for your amazing heart and teaching.
Amen Amen Amen God bless all of u Amen
Just graduated college and I’m in the midst of some big and pivotal decisions. I’m choosing to trust God and his words over my fear and uncertainty.
"you can't get to spirit through strategy" PREACH IT PASTOR
God pivoted me. You can love without acceptance. But to be accepted you must feel loved.
Man I was holding my hands up at the end when he was praying. I was in agreement and then it cut off. Anyways I claimed the rest of the prayer I didn't hear because......FAITH in The Lord. My mom put me on Steven Furtic. Awesome. I haven't been able to go to church or take my family because I have no vehicle and have been currently unemployed been making it by the grace of God. Man I love God and I also pray he makes the dumb stuff I do for purpose. Man this was awesome. I learned allot.
I can't understand how anyone could NOTLIKE this message👍
It is so relatable and God Honest True, so they are obviously in denial! This is so relatable to me, and If you are Honest and truly walking in a life of Christ and Pray and have an open and honest relationship with God, we are constantly asking and inquiring of the Lord,... Why, How, What do you want from me? What is the purpose of my life, what is my calling, why am I here, why is my life so chaotic and challenging, why me? Why is this happening to me? I need your guidance Lord Please, show me what to do, Please help me make the right decisions, who hasn't felt this way? God help us all, in this day and age of pandemics, and uncertainty, we need God more than ever💜👑
24:00 BEYOND UNDERSTANDING
I myself dream big and it takes an awesome God to accomplish the dreams that are bigger than myself
I'm going to seek God out and listen to what he says
