Running For A Reason | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

Our expectation of God must not be that there will never be anything chasing us in life but that we are chosen while we are chased. In “Running For A Reason,” Pastor Steven Furtick reminds us that even though God has placed something significant in us, certain development can only happen in the caves of our lives.

    Don’t waste the cave you’re in — When we are able to praise God in the places we find ourselves in, God begins to move.

      I was isolated from all my family chose to bring my kids with me to a whole different country while I wait for my immigration process to get processed. I prayed with my heart and god has moved so much for me to return home to the town that took me in when I was taken as a kid to the US. I am running for his purpose so even when I doubt I still walk even when uncertain I walk because I know what he has for me I can’t even imagine because it’s greater than what I would have thought I deserve. I feel so blessed just to know how much he loves me and how much he has done for me. ❤ yes I’m far from home but he is in my heart and I thank this process because he showed up for me for my family. I thank the lord and the holy spirit for giving me another opportunity to be closer to him. ❤️

    ❤ God is good ALWAYS❗I am 65 yrs. old, I’ve been a Christian for many, many years. I would have died a couple of times, but the Lord caught me and I’m still here. Awful car accident and cancer. The latest, losing my beautiful, wonderful husband of 25 years, passed away last year. I NEVER LOST MY FAITH IN GOD! 🙏😍Every struggle I have faced, I have asked the LORD TO give more, more faith, to make it stronger! ❤ Amen!!! 🙏

    Thank you, Pastor @StevenFurtick🙏

  • @MrPurrrecat says:

    I believe there is a reason God puts us in situations at times I find it hard and start overthinking but then I relieze God has me.❤

  • @roxannegladwin9807 says:

    Also need to add that this sermon really hit home… I have so many things I want to do, but the devil or me keep on procrastinating and I find myself doubting that im good enough for anything these days ……… taking it step by step trying to improve myself from who I was yesterday mentally, physically…. It’s so hard when you have ADH…. and you don’t believe in yourself. But yet so much to be grateful for in your life. God, loving husband, amazing kids, loving family…..Yet never quite getting where you need to be in your own head. This sermon gave me the confidence to TRY…… even when Im doubting in myself and confused and let God do the rest if it’s in HIS will.

  • @KariSoto-tv5rx says:

    I love the run to win. Because those who have purposefully hurt me in the past to see me fail, couldn’t run a mile in my shoes ! ❤Run to WIN!
