I’m Confused About My Calling | Maybe: God | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

People throw around the word “calling” in church. But how are you supposed to find yours? Knowing when God is actually calling you to do something in your life is often a lot more complicated to figure out than we'd want it to be. It would be great if we could get a clear, 'Yes' or 'No' but often we need to learn to move on a 'Maybe'.

Scripture reference: 1 Samuel 3 verses 1-8

    “If you’re not dead God’s not done.” So be ready for the call.

    • @tammiwood3937 says:

      This is so powerful….like start where u are…

    • @toddcarver4722 says:

      Loved that too. If your not dead Gods not done. Very moving.

    • @shastafrade1126 says:

      I say this in a loving and most respectful way : Steven please be careful in choosing your words during your sermon, please take caution in using foul or slang words. I enjoy and learn so much from you and I am the least to judge anyone, this doesn’t come from a place of casting stones or casting judegment but from a place of love for correction, that me and my young 3 children watch your sermons on youtube and if the tv is on, my little ones are hearing your words, not this sermon but one that came on after you used a word I wouldn’t agree is okay or would be in the bible (what would Jesus do or say) but I say this with upmost respect and love for the younger generations that look up to you and for yours and your families sake and sadly others that may think its okay to talk as the world talks. Please pray and take this comment to heart, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you and show you. I myself am still praying for help in this area as a mom too. I love you as a brother in the Lord Jesus and I pray for the whole church and the entire world to take into careful consideration and account for what we all say 🙏❤ You are awesome your words are powerful you are chosen and highly favored and I am so happy for the work you are doing for the Lord and the work Jesus is doing in us all. Please pray for one another, as parents, as teachers, as friends, as bosses, as colleagues etc… our words make an impact lets use it to the best of our ability to speak words of life ! I Love you and all of Elevation church ! Have a blessed day in Jesus as we all learn together ❤🙏

      @@dustymar4341 if sin is preached all the day long is it possible that we’re delving into legalism??? That’s what grace is for. Surely most sincere believers have studied to some extent the sinful nature of man and the need to extinguish it from our lives. How often should the preacher expound upon this particular subject matter when there are so many other matters of the faith to be taught?? Sin was dealt with on the cross. I accept the grace of God to deal with my personal sin. If the preacher and the ministry that’s entrusted to him are bearing good fruit, surely God will inform him that he and the congregation need to confront sin that has crept into the camp.

      Thanks

  • @qnicole3333 says:

    A generation drowning in information but starving for truth. My Lord have mercy.

  • @elevationchurch says:

    Tell us below: What part of this message impacted you the most?

    • @inthekitchenwkmariekatrina7305 says:

      The part where he said at this point in his life he wants to surround his self with people who bring out the God in him!

    • @taniabermudes5579 says:

      I have a question dough? Do we really have a choice if we don’t do what God is calling us to do, we’ll go to hell.

    • @taniabermudes5579 says:

      What if you want to follow god but your stuck in drug addiction…Why doesn’t God just take away the cravings. I been trying to get better for years without success and I taught God would just take away the cravings.

    • @raymondtepuni8416 says:

      As a whole the word brought was seasonal for me the one part that really stuck out was the conflict of calling. I find myself in that very situation and In regards to the many heads statement (which I find hilariously truthful) I have been called to so many things but I’ve always struggled to do what I know God has been calling me to be. It’s hard because alot of who I am and what I’ve done so far has to be put aside so I can be that. Thanks ps Steve and elevation church for this timely truth.

    • @malinadsouza4854 says:

      We are starving for truth thats true….

  • @kellyhumphrey6121 says:

    My late father used to say, “never write off a man who is still breathing. As long as he has breath, God can still make something out of him”. It resonates greatly with this message.

  • @MadeInIndiya says:

    God does not call the prepared, he prepares the called… if you do not know your calling yet, it’s because you’re still being prepared for it. Receive each lesson and learn from them

  • @melanietv_ says:

    “The only thing that God has ever wanted from you is ALL OF YOU” 🔥🔥

  • @ksradioshow says:

    THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT MESSAGE!!! SITTING HERE CRYING 😭😭!!!
    OPEN MY EYES TO YOUR WILL
    OPEN MY EARS TO YOUR VOICE
    OPEN MY HEART TO YOUR HEART
    GOD BLESS STEVEN FURTICK

  • @jostine says:

    I don’t have to find my calling…If I serve the purpose of the season I am in, my calling will find me. 🙌

  • @oncergirl6600 says:

    “ If you’re still breathing, there’s still time. “ 🙌🙌

  • @amoniwest2408 says:

    i’m watching this a whole year later and it is EXACTLY what i needed… i’m sixteen and i have a burning passion to be gods light through music and singing. I have no words just tears, Satan must know that whatever God is about to do is going to be so powerful because he won’t leave me alone!!! 😭 He’s broken me down and made me feel like I was wrong, made me doubt my calling, made me feel so weak in my faith… but God has the upper hand!! 🙏🏽❤️ I will stay in my place and just listen.

    • @sciurbs5787 says:

      i hope of gods putting that passion through you that you overcome any attacks tgat stop you

    • @WillBlindYouWithLight says:

      Oh my gosh. This is what I keep going through. I couldn’t ever put it into words. Especially while going through it.

    • @WillBlindYouWithLight says:

      God bless you!!

    • @Sarah_McMenomy says:

      I went through the same thing when God called me to celibacy with him and when he called me to be an Irish Dancer. I was under attack for months, with nightmares, and waking up with panic attacks and a voice in my head that wouldn’t leave me alone, and sometimes it still does. All I could do was cling onto Jesus for dear life. God used that time in my life to build endurance in my faith, and He still is. God brings all things for good, and no matter how you suffer, God is using it for a greater purpose. Even though there will always be suffering, God will walk through the fire with us. May God be with you, and bless you! ☺️

    • @jackqulinjohnson7132 says:

  • @victoriaashley3313 says:

    I’m glad this found me today. I feel like I have had a calling to sing. I have had a few circumstances happen that I thought was God pushing me toward it. I have learned through this sermon that I have ran the wrong way. I have never given my gift back to God. Please use me God for your glory. Please pray for me.
