Yes! That was POWERFUL! I AM IN TRANSITION AND IM FINALLY MORE AFRAID TO STAY PARALYZED, THEN TO LET ALL THE EXCUSES, RESENTMENTS, PAIN, ADDICTIONS, FEARS, ALL THAT NO LONGER SERVES ME,...GO. FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL. The compassion that Pastor Steven has for us is overwhelmingly beautiful. Lord, you have been so patient with me in this TRANSITION. I'm going on 4 years, just since I've found you again, and my body is tired, but my feet are fitted in readiness that comes with the Gospel of Peace. Thank you for leading me to Elevation Church and speaking through Pastor Stephan and Pastor Holly for those of us that are learning to walk with YOU, during TRANSITION. ALL GLORY IS YOURS LORD!!!!

In early recovery from heroin, cocaine, valium, alcohol addictions... all while nursing a seriously broken heart from a failed relationship and God's really speaking to me thru this word. Iv had small lapses due to my own impatience, not knowing what I'm to do with my life now I'm not using drugs.. but it's clear, I just need to focus on staying physically healthy, keep my sobriety & God WILL bless in his own good time. I'm definitely in transition and sometimes wanna run nevermind walk, while in reality I'm still learning to stand up. Give me strength to recognise when I'm in a peeped of transition Lord & point me towards where you want me to be.. AMEN.🙏

Transition is hard. You are going to have to choose to kling to something that is new and uncomfortable. You can not take hold of the new while you have a death grip of the old. New situations with old habits will tear you apart. I needed to hear this. It gave me a new determination. God put me where I am and he knows this is hard.

[41:40 --->] - When in transition, you must let go of the things that you used to do and cling onto the thing that will take you forward. - It is your choice (what you cling to) - Know that what you cling to is imperative.

"Some people don't want to ENDURE the process...." It's crazy. Before listening to this sermon, earlier in the day God was speaking to me and was saying that I need to endure this season that I'm in. As the sermon started and Steven began to speak my mind started racing because I wanted to remember the one word God gave me this morning. Steven hit every nail on the head about what God was speaking to me JUST this morning. I'm learning that God is always speaking to us trying to answer our questions and concerns and if we can just take the time to spend time with him he unveil beautiful and healing things for our souls!

[@estherajemrona2069]

Favourite part of the message: The key to knowing the difference between God's plan and my plan is to go to Gethsemane... The place of transition. I pray God gives me the Grace to put aside my desire for comfort and the Grace to embrace HIS plans for me. Jeremiah 29v11 becomes clear in transition.

[@bennyalwidhe5237]

True Esther. This was so deep for me. Gethsemane. Not my will but HIS will be done.

Two years ago Pastor Furtick changed my life with God's word and his sermon on Naming Rights. Call it something different. It was the start of a long transition for me. I have felt trapped and kept seeking God. Yesterday, I was at the church to see him in person, to hear this message. I stayed for both services. I received so much from this sermon. I am grateful that God has used this man to give me his word. Witty, funny, and real! I love what God has done and I am so grateful that even when the transition is painful, he's still there holding my hand like Peter held the hand of this man.

I am a little over 5mths clean from drugs and alcohol and it's not my first time in recovery. I've somehow lost my faith along the way. I've been really struggling with " the transition ". Every external thing/person is really affecting me. I suffer from mental illness as well, and I feel I have reached my breaking point. I dont want to go back to drugs and I dont want to die. I pray and I pray and I pray for God to make me stronger, but it's only getting worse. So I just want to THANK YOU, for making sense of it all without all the torture of External hindrances.

[@williamhill8953]

What you cling to will either separate you from God. Or lead you closer to the calling that He has placed on your life. In transition is where you make this decision. Recently released from prison having been cleansed from pornography with the new freedom there was the greatest temptation to cling to the old habits. And because God gave me a Peter and a John to cling to in the transition. The temptation was overcome by THE NAME AND THE POWER AND THE AUTHORITY that I now have in The Lord Jesus Christ. This message rings with truth and through practical application any who employ it will see victory in their transition.

All my life I’ve lived with insecurity. God has changed so much in my life. The devil keeps bringing things into my world to bring that insecurity back. This helped me I hear gods voice telling me I’m in control it’s time to grow and let go of fear and insecurities and hold my hand with faith. ❤️🙏

[@misslee765]

Cried more AFTER the sermon then before ...I am in TRANSITION !!!!!! I am walking out my faith not just talking about it !

[@tishainnis]

You and Pastor Mike Todd are on one accord! Wow!! God is confirming His Word!

[@mrsjade5197]

Yes, this sermon is for me. I am in transition. I got my God back, but learned he never left. Got my faith back and leatned how to accept his way and will. For the first time in my life i am speaking my truth. It took my voice for the better part of 4 months. I lost weight, and i was terrified. But he healed me and continues to work miracles within me. 🙏

[@roblees6554]

Neither caught in my sin, but neither in the freedom Jesus offers. Yes Steven, I need the push, the vision, to see what I could be fully in Christ Jesus. To live in abundant life, from dream to reality. Thank You Steven, such a great word, I have a new respect for my mess, how else can I have empathy for someone else's mess. As I change, I can offer hope for someone else's change.

I am stuck in transition, I have been since my childhood. I am about to be 40 this year and things aren’t going so good. I am frustrated, stressed, hurt, angry, confused about what am i still holding on that doesn’t let me see what God is trying to do in my life. I am scared. I am tired. Thank you for praying. This sermon hit my situation.

[@MyRascal11]

I so relate to what you wrote, I am in transition of finaly letting of and grabbing on to the new. Its a struggle because so much of my life has been based on past experiences that where done to me. God had shown me Mercy, has given me Grace and granted me Strength , even tho I have walked forward inside I still feel trapped. This message today made me cry to realize I need to let go. Thank you Pastor Steven Furtnick for being Gods vessel.

19:26 “The 1st miracle in the book of Acts was waiting in someone who everyone else was stepping over... to get to something they deemed more important. ”

[@lamicoharris7998]

I have been asking God for clarity in this season because the battle has just been intensifying in the transition.. I now see that though my outward seems to be ready there are DEFINITELY some old mindsets that I need to take back to the cross and leave there.. May the Lord continue to bless this ministry. This word was RIGHT on time.

[@deborahcharette7042]

That's me I m 3 years INTO you n I AM listening to this SERMON for the probably 4th time and I UNDERSTAND it so much more. I AM being tested I AM starting my sobriety on Sept 14th in Florida with stephanie s FATHER. I'm doing THIS on my own. 28 DAYS rehabs have not been ABLE to keep me clean. JESUS has FAITH IN me. Wen I come home on the 28th I know what to do to stay alive and clean. I only have to change ONE THING.... . .EVERYTHING. AND I ALREADY KNOW THAT. I'M READY. THANK YOU JESUS FOR ANOTHER CHANCE TO LIVE. I WILL CLING TO AA. AND. NA

[@imaginatewithdad-n-me5245]

This message is for me. My pastor has talked to me about doing more as a youth minister. He is adding more responsibility to me as a minister. I am officiating my first funeral and I noticed that doors are opening all around me to do more, to give more and I see this is all about transitioning to another level

[@michaelcuke4717]

"20% if they spit in your drink, 20%!" Wow! That's love

[@TheOneanjel]

I've worked in restaurants and I would like everyone to stop this popular opinion that waiting tables is a form of charity. They make easily 10% across the board plus wages. Waiting tables is a choice and an art that if you are good at you will expect 20%. Give charity to people on the streets, not people who made a conscious choice to work in a place that feeds them for free. It's not a pity party to dine out. 10% is standard.

[@greatestchristian5913]

One thing that a church pastor I've been to used to say, "God may not always be present when we want Him to, but He always comes on time."

[@tfr8s44]

"If you are being tested, you are in transition!...the greatest oil of anointing comes in the place of greatest transition 🙌!" My soul needed this message right now in my testing. THANK YOU LORD!!!

[@elevationchurch]

Amen. 🙏

[@Kbwhite1111]

Pastor Furtick, you’ve pulled me out of my head so many times . Glory to God, Amen

[@chrismendez8649]

Come on Pastor Steven you can’t have me crying at work over here

[@michellekirk8609]

"If you wait for my spirit you can receive my power". If you don't move the way you think you should move, but let " me direct your path, if you will be in position you can receive my power" wow

[@bigmommie120]

God knows!!! I am in a transitional period in my life. God gave me a word two years ago. I would start the walk with him but get distracted, get off course, fall short. There was little change. Last year I made a decision to move forward. This year my life has been constant changes and transitions. I believe God told me to leave my current city and move to another. Yet, I am stuck in my current city. My family and I were leaving this weekend. We didn't.

[@TrippyPenguin]

16:20: "you used to get high on a substance but now you're trying to connect to Christ." This is me. I've been trying to turn my spirit away from substances and towards Jesus, but it's been the hardest transition I've ever had to endure. But I just learned today that I'm going to be an uncle! God has blessed me even though I wasn't at my spot yet. Thank you Steven and thank you God for bringing me out of my darkest place!

[@Msimelda]

AMEN !! currently in the process of moving to a whole new state and start a business .. clicking this preaching randomly has put me at ease .. God is literally in control ! 🙌🏽

[@susanswartz2546]

Thank you Pastor Steven ... this message was so BLESSED .. In todays life we need to let GOD walk the road with us.. HE is our only HOPE in JESUS NAME ... fr South Africa

[@iprogressstudios8357]

FATHER, thank you for blessing me and meeting me on my JOURNEY! HALLELUJAH

[@AnnaRiveraSheerBeautybyAnna]

It is difficult to sit still in transition while threatened by opposition from the outside while waiting to do it his way.

[@izzyking9138]

Yes

[@acreativespacetv]

Patiently waiting through my transition... !! Learning and growing!!!!🤯

[@msra6996]

My God, God keep me and my children safe and away harm. In Jesus name Amen.

[@santasantinagatta]

Please pray for the people suffering at this Facebook group "Christians suffering from Anxiety & Depression" please they are suffering situations and lives. Thank you Pastor and team!

[@ashreymarie]

Need a clip of this, it's great: Transition takes time, and change happens suddenly. And to be trapped in transition is to be waiting for your mind to catch up with the transformation that's already happened in your life.

[@miracle5106]

Received at the time I needed it the most. thank you, Lord Jesus, for everything. please lead me through this big change and let me transformed internally in my transition. Amen

[@tandriaashlyn]

WHOA! This message was well over a year ago, yet it's like it was for me, today. There is a reason I came across this today after scrolling on Facebook and a friend shared the post with this video in the comments. I have been going through the biggest change in my life for the past 8-9 months, which is causing a huge transition in everything I know. It's like every element in my life is changing, all at once. It's extremely scary in some aspects, but some aspects have me excited to see what God has in store once I get through this, or even while I am going through it. I was raised up in the church, but have only recently really given my life to Christ, in the midst of all of this transition. My favorite point from this message is that sometimes God doesn't meet our expectations / what we are asking for, because He wants to exceed them / give us what we need (not what we desire). I have been praying to God for weeks to "fix" the situation I am in, and I just feel Him say "I am getting you through it. You are going forward … you are not staying where you are." It is so incredible to me how I have been going through this situation in my life for almost an entire year, and I am led to this message today. Just, WOW.

[@olivianatwick7603]

I went through one transition which ended three years ago. Now God is taking me through another transition. I am transitioning now from being in a traditional Church which is the United Methodist Church. I was a pastor in those churches and now I am transitioning to the more modern Outlook of a church. And that church is the one that you all show me every Sunday and during the week as I catch up with what Pastor Steven is preaching.

[@kathymyers7279]

I need help to DO THE WORK. I’ve never been disciplined enough. I need this grace. It’s life and death.

[@corettaalves4294]

Yes we all need to

[@leslie6733]

I love how Papa God moves us toward the things He wants/needs for us to have! This past Sunday our sermon was about camping around His presence! I needed the example of getn stuck on "a formula" to concrete what He revealed to me about camping!

[@lusciouslaura364]

I am so blessed by this message pastor Furtick please don't ever stop preaching the word...I love you🙇🙌🙏

[@normbrantley1074]

Steven I’d like to thank you for everything you give me and everything I am seeking today in Christ !!

[@BlessedBlessedinHim]

Please preach on Jesus..His death and Resurrection.GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY..it is all about HIM

[@mirandamiller2930]

24-minute mark re: Jesus It should be clear from all the comments that the man of God said what God wanted him to say.

[@deborahomondi6388]

I pray to cling to Jesus with all I got just like Jacob. I love you Lord

[@Love-qt5io]

Finished watching this sermon for the first time in 2021, while recovering from a sickness. I cried when Pastor prayed about the custom-tailored message that everybody needs to hear. Indeed, I should let go of the blame on the past and hold on the hope of future. God bless this church and all the people behind it.

[@elevationchurch]

Lovenla, thanks for sharing this. Holding on the hope of the future, this is so encouraging. God bless!
