Elevation with Steven Furtick

Keep It In Context

Oct 9, 2025
Facing pressure and fear can distort our perspective. Elisha teaches us that the battles we encounter are proof of something worth fighting for. Instead of letting fear define us, we can choose to fill our minds with faith. The struggles we undergo now pale in comparison to future glory, and understanding our spiritual power helps reframe our challenges. Locations like Dothan remind us that tough times are just temporary dots in our journey, while God’s presence has been there before we even noticed.
