- We can usually recognize God working in the new beginnings, and later, in the fruits of our labors. But what about the time in between? How should we handle those long waits when we don’t know God’s schedule?
Watch the full sermon here: • The Seed is on Schedul...
"When everything is dark..youre just being planted."
I just found this channel and I am so so thankful I did!!! Forget binge watching netflix... I'm binge watching Gods word!!!
Same!
That’s me right now I call it “ taking myself to church “
You can say that again!!!
💝
Great idea I'm doing this today you have inspired me (Selby hope)
I've listened to this message about 10 times now. lord knows I have things in the ground and I'm waiting, waiting waiting for my harvest. dear God. hear my cry.
I I Amen
U got this! The Lord is with you! Keep pushing!
I know how you feel. I keep crying out to God too about how I need him to show me that I havent been shafted in situations in my life because I feel like I'm been waiting for so long for God to show up.
Awesome! and in your waiting,having faith and in your faith,trusting God and in trusting God..be expecting and in your expecting,giving thanks to God and in your thanksgiving to God,be as if you have already received that on which you are with great expectancy...waiting
praying for you
I continue to give everything up for god and follow him, yet things get harder . My faith will not break , for even in my worse times he is great
Dillon Bult sane here. The battle gets harder!
I feel that way
I’ve been praying on my gf to finally get healed from migraines that have been happening to her for 5 years now. Rn I see God is telling me to wait and keep faith in order for her to get healed. Keeping in prayer is the only way and I ask if others could pray for my gf Grace.
“There are some stages of faith that’s there’s not a thing you can do” words to remember! Thank you Steve 🙏
Lord please give me a strength to wait on your time....
gods seven promises:
I will be with you
I will protect you
I will be your strength
I will answer you
I will provide for you
I will bring you peace
and I will always love you
if that didn't touch your heart and bring you to tears think harder about it❤️
Praying and waiting for God to restore my marriage.
Amen 🙏 me too! I pray it happened already for you 🙌🏽
Has you marriage been restored?
Every time I listen to one of Pastor Furtick's sermons, God speaks. God has answered me multiple times through him! ❤
Caitlin Manning That's because he made it about you people, when the actual passage is about God and his kingdom!!
A perfect example of a pastor trying to please man and tickle their ears!
I feel the same way....
Where his church is located?
Amen
Our challenge is to synchronize our faith with God’s schedule. Exactly!
Pastor this is amazing! I'm so tired. I've been struggling for years - almost stagnant! I've tried to finish school, get a better job, stay single in hopes to have a husband. My family left me years ago. My father abandoned me. My mother got sick and lost her job and couldn't work for 20 years. i have a good heart, don't do drugs, respect relationships. And things have been going wrong for years. My life is in danger every night! I've lost everything. I'm so hurt I feel like giving up. But I keep believing, God will reveal soon. But, I'm so depressed. I'm the type that loves and because of that - I've been betrayed, abandoned, and beaten for loving God. in the past 6 years I've been laid off. I even trained my replacement for the City. I don't know what to do. I've tried resources. But, your right. I've gotta let go.
If I am a seed, and God is a farmer, this implies that he has planted me where I am. And just as a seed must find it's way to the surface, I must do so to. Even when I feel as if God is not speaking or guiding me I know that as long as I have my heart set on his teachings I will grow in the right direction: Up. (just my interpretation)
Amen
Yes! I needed to hear this
Amennn!!
Amen
I’ve been jobless for 4 years. I do some part time jobs but it’s not permanent and sometimes there is no income at all. I’m still waiting for the day for God to bless me. I’ve applied for hundreds of jobs, went for interviews but it was nothing, I cry everyday in my room asking God to open the door for me. I trust him even if the situation doesn’t seem possible.
I could never finish listening to him preach without God putting ideas to me for my life ! God uses this man to release his word on me..thank God, thank you pastor..
planted not buried..! amen
Good preacher he as the word of God living with in him
In the name of Jesus AMEN
Amen
Amen
I don’t yet truly believe in my heart but I feel God nagging at me every day and he is working on me. Thank you Jesus I love you 😊😊😊
I needed this today right now! My marriage is in the ground... I have to take a step back and trust the process! Gods got this!!!! I know jesus!!! Amen! This message reminded me HOPE AND FAITH AGAIN.... this brokenness I feel God will bring out glory and praise! Amen...
Lord, open the floodgates of heaven let it rain’
I have had a seed for many years it hasn't broke ground yet but still trusting my Father for the break and see the seeds grow
It’s hard to believe this when years have gone by in the soil of uncertainty and it doesn’t look like it will ever sprout .Sometimes i feels like many preachers are just selling hope to the hopeless 😩
Just what i needed to hear. I feel like God has been quiet. I seek him more and more. Little did I know something amazing is happening in the ground. Thank you Father🙌🏻🙌🏻❤
Just got married December 21 of 2018, and went in to 2019 already going through hard times with place of shelter. Messed up a few times with being impatient. Trying to stay afloat with my faith but when I’m feeling out of control, I repent and go back to these messages that help me along the way. Moving from California to the South East of the country is way out my comfort zone. But this soil that I tend is key to full commitment. I’m not the farmer but the seed that feels abandoned.
Found this sermon and even after 4 years, the sermon felt personal.
Blessed Sermon Pastor.
Thank you Lord❤🙌
I'm a mother of five children ... Which four of them are adults & established.. Tyj and my last one is twelve .whos asking to move with his father. I'm having a hard time letting go. I've hand it over to the lord .. I know I'll eventually get through as I always do. But I'm ready to except what his decision is. Please keep the situation in prayer. Ty gbu

I have found that when my faith gets strong enough for me to just say Here Lord I lay down this burden at your feet , leave it lay and walk away from it erase it from my mind (of course I will think of it from time to time), only a test of faith, I hang on I push it out of my mind tell myself it's in the Lords hands an forget Then my prayers are answered when He sees that I ready.
You say that you put the baggage down and walk away. But sometimes you think about the baggage again... Until you put the baggage down forever and never look back, you are not moving forward. The baggage you have carried and put down many times, will always be there as long as you keep turning around and pick it back up (figuratively) by continuing to think about it.
Next time you put it down, turn around walk away and never look back. When you can master that frame of mind, then you are TRULY moving forward in your quests.
Amen
@@michaeltristanio7433 and how do you do that ?
@@jaylove2514 I struggle with this
Going through a divorce now. Man this touched my heart. Thank you god.
Lord I need your miracle right now am financially unstable and almost lacking the basic needs.pls send your angels on my way.Am waiting Amen
yea, I do believe I'm here for a reason, because I've witness my protection 1st hand!
“Just takes time” ❤️💙 “sowing a seed means releasing it “ ...great way to start off my morning !!!!
keep the faith not by might not by sight but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
it is very personal for me. right now. gasping for air. and i believe God lead me to this video clip. i didn't even wanna hear but i kept seeing it and wow.
i was getting choked in the soil for some time... just when i reached the point that i had an outburst with God for not showing up inspite of walking in his path against wordly pleasures but he has been bypassing me in his blessings... i get to see this video which is the EXACT POSITION I AM IN TODAY.... God may not give u what u want but he will chase u and see that u get his message :-)
Needed this!! I'm about to graduate college !! What a word!!! ☝🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👌🏾
congrats!!
girl, I just graduated and I need it haha
You need the Bible.
Congratulations
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!!!! Congrats!!!
God is always working behind the scenes!
Jesus!! Please here my plea! I need you during this time in my life.. my marriage is dead! I need your hand to touch these two broken hearts and reunite us..
Hang in there and never lose your faith even when it seems like you’re the only one who’s falling behind, losing, unsuccessful... your day will come and you’ll know how great God is Amen
Oh Lord, please help me to grow through this soil that it seems like I've been buried in for so long! This Multiple Sclerosis has took so much from me! At times I don't even want to go another day! I feel buried in this disease! I know you love me Father, and I am protected by you no matter what happens! I know that I will pop through this soil to see the beautiful light if I continue to push!! Thank you Jesus!
I will wait patiently for God to come strong on my behalf!
When it rain 🌧 god making rain I’m the victory and this see will grow.
Please pray for me I cant feel God's presence anymore
I know that I am being protected. Being undesirable as a man and undesirable as a friend is protecting me from living an ungodly lifestyle and I know I'll be grateful in the future. But being this undesirable sure makes for a lonely existence today.
❤Aww God`got me covered, I`m protected! If we’re planted close to God and our faith is strong, we can make it through any season! I needed this soo bad!!❤AMEN! Preach pastor!!
I know i am in the soil of fear n anxiety..but thats ok.i am protected.The rain is coming.My lord is in control.I declare
That's how I'm feeling tonight ,been waiting yrs for seeds to sprout .My children are protected by the blood of Jesus
halleluiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!halleluiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU JESUS!!!! MY FAMILY IS COVERED IN THE BLOOD YOUR RECOCILING THEM BACK TO YOURSELF!!!
Pastor, this message is exactly what I needed to hear in this season of my life. I am a mom of four who is praying that my precious "seeds" will flourish and grow in the Lord. Amen.
The best message ever. God is going to bless my entire family. I feel it. I'm going to pass my nclex on the second try also. I receive it. In Jesus name. Amen.
This just came upon my heart. “PLANTED in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,”
Psalm 92:13-14
I’ve been so lost with so many gifts and all though I her his calling got baptized studied the word after such a hardship of a life. Am still not there !!! Now with a baby and No marriage , just feel like a failure to God. Makes me sad. I keep pushing , but am sad. Am I alone on this ??
U are not a failure God loves u no matter what Jesus died for our sins all u have to do is ask for forgiveness for ur sins every day we all sin daily we may not try but Jesus knows we are not perfect if u would like to talk and want a friend who will not judge you please reach out. To me on Facebook my name is lisa Perry I'm from madison Wisconsin I would love to be a friend to u God bless 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙋🏽♀️🌹😊💖💞
It is very personal for me, thank you so much. I am dying in the soil right now, I'd appreciate your prayer.
I never knew that this man is a man of God! I always thought that his just a singer until im in a situation my boyfriend left me but God is soon making away🙏 I been declaring and God is great im receiving and declaring that it is well with me. God bless you Ps, S.F
This message is for me. Yes I was feeling a bit out of sort, not seeing my dream coming to life. But now I know I'm about to sprout!!!!!!!
That dream is about to become a REALITY!
Thank you pastor Steven
"The Seed is the word of God. "The soil is your heart / soul. .. My mother
My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it" - Jesus Christ
Paul Roepnack heart is spirit. Soul is mind and emotions. Spirit is the home of your faith
Paul Roepnack Are we on the same page? Maybe i should see the whole sermon but i dont see believers as seeds..
Yes! If you read Mark 4:13-20 it explains what the soil is. Your mother is absolutely right.
Shelly D Believers can be seeds too as the man in this verse is referred to as being a tree you can't be a tree without first being a seed
Psalm 1:1 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season
Please Lord grant me redemption for my family. Right now I have e no control but I know by your faith i will survive and trust your vision. And by your timing and grace i will reap a harvest of redemption like no other. Thank you Lord for this amen!!
Praise God for the seed!!! When your seed comes up out of the ground you can't help but to rejoice!!! You look around and you give God all the glory... for you see that when the rain came it was time for you to rise up out of the soil!!! It's so beautiful to be a seed in the spiritual garden of God!!! Keep watering the soil my friend!!!
PeterandAnn Towle 🙌🙌🙌
I watched this sermon as soon as it came out, almost 5 years ago. I was in that exact stage, the soil stage. I was completly lost and confused, but, I was still on schedule! I believed every word Pastor Steve said, with all my heart!. Today, almost 5 years later, i am not in that stage and i thank God every single day for making me His seed. Keep going guys, what the Lord promised, HE will do! Thank you Pastor!
This message is for me! Sometimes you have said ‘I am preaching to someone specific about this” - when you say that, know it is me!! I listen and learn and feed my faith ....thank you for the Revelation given to you god bless bless you son.
Woooow. "The real test of the seed is can it survive the soil".
Awesome word.
I'm in the soil and was praying lord why can't i see your plan and he showed me this
100%Harvest Message and I thank you Jesus

Earlier today I just lost a court case based on lies and had my visitation modified dramatically. I’m very hurt, heart broken, and wanting to lash out... But, I am still going to praise your name Jesus. I still believe it is well with me and my family and God loves us. Thank you for this message.
Yeah I'm protected by your hand God..my children r protected to you lord hallelujah 👏👏👏👏
I fell in love with Americans 🇺🇸
Thanks Pastor Steve for encouraging us in India 🇮🇳
I needed to hear this. I’ve been asking why all morning. My seed is there. Now I’ve got to wait. God will not let me down. Thank you, Lord.
Pastor, you have been preaching this message to me. It's personal and I am the seed (my dreams) in the soil. It's so hard to be in there. I am experiencing how it's feel like. My heart is broken and needed healing from the person when I am in the soil. Jesus said that He will give it to me from inside. I didn't shout in enthusiasm but weeping. You have been preaching 'There is a cloud' just for me.
It’s crazy every time I am going through difficult seasons of life I pray to god for answers and to help me understand and behold under my suggestions always comes a video from Steven addressing that concern it’s like god speaks to me through these videos
This helps me so much. My husband is having high blood pressure and can't work right now. It's been 2 to 3 months like this and I don't know how much more we can handle. I can't find a job either. He needs lots of prayer for healing to.
This message is helping me so much. I need this. Not in good space now.
But i am looking forward for the time that small seed is starting to put its head out of that soil. God i trust you. Teach me what i need to know.
I am really blessed with the sermon. This was specifically meant for me and my family. God i embracing the season as it shall come to pass. My harvest is coming my way. I am holding on with the protection and the provision as I await on the potential of a Miracle and a testimony.
Wow, this preaching speaks to me. I’ve been in the ground for some time now. And I most definitely feel like I’ve been forgotten. I feel like he said he would do what he said he would do, but it feels like it’s taking forever. My time in the ground hurts really bad. Thank you Pastor for this message
i'm in the soil right now l will emerge.... so blessing..
Thank you Jesus Christ!!. From India🇮🇳
I needed this! Keep believing even when the process and outcome is invisible. ❤
I’ve been in the soil of depression and anxiety since I was 6.. I am now 24. Sometimes it’s hard for me to believe God loves me because of the bad things that He allowed to happen to me. I have backed off from God due to the anger I have towards Him. But today God spoke to me through this message. I am ready to go back to the path He designed for me. I just really need some strength cuz I have been buried in the ground for too long 😭😭😭
RuBy AnGela God is with you always. Talking to God and writing helps me alot esp writing poems. When I start feeling anxiety. I try remember the bible verse tell us not be anxious for nothing, but rejoice in all things in pray and supplement. Making circle motions help too on your hand or finger. Patting or circle movement on animal help . Walking or move help get rid the negative or to much energy. Coloring relax you. Try find good Christian friends or good lister talk to.. Writing an journey or letter to God. Chewing Ice or drinking cold water slowly too. If you can try avoid things cause anxiety. I use have really bad anxiety and panic attacks, but over time got better. What I wrote you help me alot. God is still working on me. You just let it control your life. Facing fear help me alot too, because you realize fear is not so 😨 scarred.
GOD got my children “They are PROTECTED 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽I’am PROTECTED.you that is listening to this sermon is PROTECTED🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Yes, I am waiting on God!!! Blessings to come because I know MY God is Faithful to meet all my needs, according to HIS riches in glory!!!
“I’m protected...God has me covered and it shall come forth!” 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😭😭😭
working on getting my masters to be a teacher. Praying for the sowing and provision that the potential to be released in God time and for me to have the patience to wait.
Purpose is still working when the process is invisible! Dios te bendiga.
God bless you, we need more of God's people in our school systems today.
Hi Maria. Just saw your post from 2 years ago. How are you today? Done with your masters?
Thank you Jesus for the unfailing timing of this message. The ground is breaking
This spoke to me tonight 😌💛🤍💭 Thank you God for never failing me ✌🏽☺️
Amen I really needed this because I was talking to my wife just last night about how I was feeling like a seed in the soil. What was revealed to me was to have faith that God has me in his hands and I am blessed.
I’ve been praying for something for 8+ years. I used to be confident in God but as the years have passed, that confidence has wavered. Sometimes I feel as if God is playing a cruel joke on me. In the midst of all of this, my Mom passed away in November 2017. I’ve asked God to take the desire away from me but it seems as if this desire intensifies every day, every prayer. This weekend, I hit a wall and I cannot stop crying. I don’t think God hears me and I’m in pain. In addition, I miss my Momma so much! There’s been a few times in my life that I’ve cried out to God. Every time he has answered. This time he hasn’t. Not sure why I’m pouring my emotions out on a 2 year old FB video but I hope that a person may read this and keep me lifted in prayer (my name is Bianca).
THANK YOU!! ❤️
Bianca Roberson understand Bianca. I have believed for restoration of marriage/family for years
May the Lord bless and comfort your heart young lady... U in the forge stage!!!! See a beautiful sword must first be beating, hammered, before it becomes what it's destined to be
Thank you Lord because my child is protected!!!
Amen thank you jesus. For us waiting is wasting but for God it is working.
Thank you God!
🙌🏾
The seed is still on schedule. It has protection and provision.
The love of my life is protected.
🙏🏾
I really needed this one, I have been asking God for a baby for myself and my husband for 2 years now its been soo hard and we just found out my sister in-law is pregnant and I have been asking God how this is fair and then I saw this
Thank you
I needed this I'm definitely going through rough times I'm still trying to figure things out I'm still trying to get through .. please keep me in prayer being in a dark place isn't fun but I'm trying to help myself .. thank you

I am just catching this, but it is so on time for me. God has promised me something well beyond my resources, but I know He is faithful to everything he has spoken!
Joy Hicks Really? A being who created the universe promised you something? Please explain how you know this creature is talking to you and what it’s saying?
mailbox2223 you are a really sad person. She has nothing to explain to you. Because people like you are the ignorant one.
With patience, the seed will definitely sprout, grow and blossom far and above expectations.
I always strongly believe in the above preached sermon right from where i started knowing about god and his plans... And there are people around me who ask me whats my ambition and job plans in my life.. and i got nothing to say except "WHATEVER GOD HAS PLANNED"...
Me and my wife have being married for 4 years I love her dearly we went through a few rough patches but never did I dream that I would be separated from her . In May she had weight loss surgery and as happy as I am for her health she seems to hate me since . It was in July we had an argument she asked for space I gave it since then I see her maybe twice a week she tells me I love you I’m not in love with you she has mentioned divorce I am scared as hell I pray unceasingly for her and to prevent divorce but this prayer is not being answered I’m at a loss either way I will always have my faith but why would god who hates divorce put me in a position of 3 months of agony and anticipation only to see my life and soulmate rot away?
I pray God reconciled and restored this marriage. 🙏
The protection is on the seed and the provision is in the seed. I m protected and provisioned by God. Hallelujah Amen 🇵🇾
Have faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who died on the Cross to saved us all, remember that God knows best and he loves us all GOD BLESS 💪🏼🙏🏼♥️🙌🏼👐🏼😇!
I found this message just when I needed it , going through some hard times . But I'm holding on to Gods word.
Thankyou Lord for filling Steven full of the Holy Spirit, He's on fire for you Jesus and spreading your word in a great way. Thx, for all the grace you give us, and so many blessings. Love you all!
You Have Faith Because God Is Always Working. Never Forget That HIS Timing Is Perfect 💯✅
Hallelujah!!!!! Gods got me covered and I'm forever protected!!!!
Much needed , currently in Mexico about to get my residency for USA and I’m 100% that god will approve my residency and I will be back with my family 🙏🏼
Juan Robles God will provide
It’s hard to be patient because I’m tired of everything and everybody it hurts I’m really not in the mood to wait no more and I feel like someone made him up ! And made the Bible up but I know he’s there but when is it my time 💯 I think never 😭
