“Not Now” Is Not “No” | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

Sometimes, when you’ve been waiting a long time on something, God isn’t saying, “no,” He’s going slow to teach you something. This sermon will help you feel encouraged that just because it’s not happening on your schedule, doesn’t mean it’s not happening on God’s.

    Just because you’ve run out, doesn’t mean God won’t step in. Where in your life can you invite Him to step into your situation?

    My sermon notes for “Not now is not no”

    1.) Reach and release. It’s happening on his timing. Is not happening according to your preference but according to his will. God knows the best time for you

    2.) Just because you have run out doesn’t mean God won’t step in. Even though there is no more support, God will step in

    3.) God is not slow because he can’t, he is slowing it down so you can learn and teach others. Slow it down so you can learn how you can pick up the pace and learn to be better. Do whatever he tells you and don’t let the math distract you

    4.) Refusal=Reset. You don’t need to know everything, you just need to do what God tells you. Reset in order to reveal, fill the jar by faith

    5.) Get ready for God to do something different in your life. God saves the best til last. Declare this statement over yourself “God do something to do something in my life, serve the best wine of my life”

    if He GAVE you the WINE,you’d be a CONSUMER,but,if He TEACHES YOU TO TRUST HIM,then you’ll be a PRODUCER!!!!!💯🎯🎯🎯
