Elevation with Steven Furtick

Is your faith being tested? If you’ve been waiting on the details of what God has next, remember that God doesn’t give a test without a lesson first, so if He’s calling you to let go of something, you can trust He’s already provided you with what you’ll need to take that step.

People label, but God names. You don’t have to chase identity or earn worth, because you’ve always been called, loved, and set apart for something more.  If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Galatians 1, verses 11-20 Acts 9, verses 3-6 Genesis 17, verses 3-5 Genesis 32, verse 28 Matthew 16, verses 15-18 Acts 13, verse 9

Shame can keep us sitting down in failure, wondering, “How did I get here?” But God wants to help us stand back up and step into our purpose.

God isn’t afraid of your struggle. In fact, He’s inviting you to face it, because He knows what’s on the other side. Stop running, hold onto Him, and let Him change you from the inside out.

Stressed, insecure, and stuck — that’s how Moses felt, too. But that wasn’t the end of his story, and it’s not yours, either. It’s just the middle. There’s hope past this chapter, and it’s found by shifting your focus back to God. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Exodus 3, verses 1-11, 14 Acts 7, verses 20-30, 36

Don’t be so confused about the noise around you that you can’t hear the God who made you.

If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: Luke 22, verses 31-34 Luke 6, verses 12-16 Hebrews 7, verse 25

If you’re looking at what’s next and feeling nervous, remember this: What God has done in your life is only the foundation, not the finish line. He’s a creative God, still at work in ways you’re not expecting. Let go of your plan so God can show you His purpose.
