This Is A Season of Preparation | Steven Furtick

- You have a purpose, even in a time of separation. Loneliness is hard and can leave us feeling unstable. We all need stability and we all want comfort. We’ve lost so many things that we were accustomed to and there’s a lot of separation between what was and what’s to come.
Steven Furtick is asking, what if God isn’t calling you to be comfortable right now? What if He is using this time to prepare you for your purpose; what if this separation is preparation? What if this time of separation is an opportunity to recognize the distinctive features you have as a child of God?
Our hope is this message meets you in your separation to bring comfort, courage and hope for the days to come.

This Is A Season of Preparation | Steven Furtick
Thank you Jesus for this video! You just explained & confirmed everything that’s going on in my life! Thank you so much for always letting the Lord use you in such an amazing, impactful way! God bless. I hope others are blessed as well!
God has such a special way of speaking and confirming things. We hope this video can bless others as well! Make sure to share it with someone! ^SF Team
The masaje is a great

Amen God Bless All of YOU on the team as well as Steven Furtick and I'm INCLUDING EVERYONE BEHIND THE SCENES CAMERAS AND STUFF
Thank you Jesus for your words of encouragement and thank you pastor Steve for posting this video from California
“Separation is for preparation. Sometimes God has to pull you away from people & circumstances to help prepare you to fulfill your calling.” -Steven Furtick ✞
sooo true
Amen!!!!
so on point ;)
Amen!!! Thank you Lord 🙏❣️
What a revelation!
Sometimes when it looks like you are going backwards, God is making a space where He can bless you. Hallelujah.
This message really spoke to me.
In October my 11-year relationship ended, and a month and a half later I lost my brother in an accident (we were SO close, like best friends), and then that same week my best friend had to leave me. Three very important men are gone in a matter of two months. After one there was another and another.
But I can see how God has been so good through it all. I can see how my being alone has been teaching me and preparing me, especially now because we are in this quarantine. It doesn't mean I hadn't wept, and felt so targeted. I doesnt meant that I didnt have moments where I felt cursed or something.
I feel like I really don't have the right words to say right now. But all I can say is God is SO in control. At a time when it could be easy to say otherwise, I'm seeing and calculating the opposite. I'm failing my pre-med class right now Because I was sick with the coronavirus and couldn't study for 3 weeks. Im retaking it. BUT Everything feels on purpose. Everything had to be done. IDK why all these things had to happen but I know He is still in control. There's a bigger picture here that is hidden for a time, but will be revealed when God wants to.
Amen! God is ALWAYS in control! Romans 8:28
I pray for peace and comfort and for the lord to put ease and comfort to your mind as well. God bless 🙏
God GOT YOU! Peace love and blessings, praying for you🙏🙌
Amen...
God be with you
I pray for everyone here that God reveals his work in your life. He needed to separate me from toxic relationships, addictions, and low self-esteem to help me grow. 🙏
4 year clean and sober this week by the grace of God to God be the glory hallelujah to Jesus Christ
Alright amen!!! Walk it out! 10 Months here...works if you work it
Congratulations!
Yaaaaaah! Keep on beloved keep on pressing toward the mark of the high calling if God!😁
AMEN 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Congratulations! I hope to be there one day at a time I would’ve been 3 months now but currently on day 2 due to a relapse! I need prayers! ❤️
The isolation a lot of people are feeling rn during quarantine is necessary for the redirection for us to step into our calling. Praise God🙏🏽
Taylor Made Amen 🙌🏾
Is true
Taylor Made Amen! Thank you 🙏 for this message .. I see the good in it now
Taylor Made noooooooo!!! We need to fight !!!
Unfortunately, some preachers are using this as an agenda to proclaim the government is trying to shut down churches for good and that will never happen. This sentiment is being spread, causing unrest in many people who do not understand that we are blessed having relationships and freedom. Isolation can be a blessing in disguise to others. Entitlement is a real problem in every human.
He was literally preaching about my life since I came to college. No friends, when I got them I got isolated again. God brought those friends at the right time and when their purpose was finished he let them go.
Take me to my destination Lord!
I've been jobless, friendless, loveless, purposeless, pretty much everything less for a long while now. But I believe it's because God is rerouting my life. I needed to hear all this
don’t trade in “special” for “similar! amen!
CierraRenae yes! That resonated with me as well!
This quarantine taught me to focus on my peace not being accessible like that protect my energy so I can focus more on my come up
No cap
Fixing your focus! ^SF Team
Kryshanda Bethel The Queen of Motivation Amennnn!
A WORDDDDD! I find myself not even wanting to talk to people at this time! While yes we’re supposed to be there for one another, CO-DEPENDENCY IS A DRUG! God is really lifting the veils. Some of these friends and family members are energy vampires!!! Peace can only be granted from his Kingdom.
@@stevenfurtick I want the whole sermon on this one! It was too good!! Where can I watch the whole service???
One of the things that stood out to me was “Why are you so afraid to stand out”. We are not called to be like everyone else. We are to be set apart. Trust this process of separation and see where it leads you.
My 2 year relationship just ended and for 2 months I have been suffering more than I've ever been. God spoke to me in this message and so I am very grateful to hear this sermon.
I don’t have to like what it looks like, I just have to trust that it is working for my good. Separation🙌🏾
🧡
So very true,love this!!!
Amen!
Amen
This is a season for my preparation to receive all that He desires to give to me and to lead me to my promised land
Amen! ^SF Team
Wow!! Me too!! WoaH
Yessssssssssss, Jesus I was about to give up ,but I decided to hold on and try again !!!!
Angela Williams Hold on and you gonna see the best from the Almighty,I would ask you to listen to pastor Stevens Sunday sermons and you will be blessed beyond measures
That footbal demonstration is powerfull in so many ways... sometimes thats needed to come back to earth!!!
I enjoyed it as well! So powerful!I was shouting in my house
“Separate for a purpose” 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽God is starting something in my life!!!!
God is preparing and approving me in private. 🙏🏾Not wasting my separation season 🙌🏾
Zanele Khubisa Amen!
Put a purpose on it! ^SF Team
Very uncomfortable, but it is teaching me so much about myself, my strength and this world.
That's the place God wants you to grow! ^SF Team
@@stevenfurtick I got it and am growing every single day!!! Thank you LORD for all you are teaching me in this season and it will make my reunion with my family even so much better!
Thank you❤️
Praying for my comeback. Separating from my sweetheart. I know the Lord wants different things for me and me daughters but right now I’m just trying not to cry most days. Asking for prayers. We are going to get through this, I know it🙏🏼💕
Recently found out I am autistic. It made me feel different and alone most of my life. But I am starting to see how God wants to use it to help others through beginning to share my story.
The woman I fell in love with has high functioning autism (you literally can't tell until she's overwhelmed) and she is the most beautiful soul I've ever met. I hope you're still doing well!
HE GOT ME WHEN HE SAID DID SOMEONE LEAVE UR LIFE RECENTLY! DID SOMEONE BREAK UR HEART SWEETHEART! I BOUT CRIED! 💯😭😔 SO TRUE BCUZ I CAN RELATE THIS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! BUH ITZ ALL GOOD BCUZ WHERE THERES A NO GOD HAS A BETTER YES! 💯💜🙌🙏 HE MOST DEFINITELY HAS SOMEONE BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS DEALING WITH! AN I KNOW IT! I BELIEVE VIT & RECEIVE VIT! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
ThaRealP.Y.T. Neena Sky you are not alone on this one, I too am dealing with this and it's not easy but I'm doing better. You too will become a better YOU after the storm.
I recently just got out of an abusive relationship! “Separation is for preparation!” I love that part. Prayers your way! I was in a situation where it was either sink or swim and I chose to swim away. I hope everything gets better for you! ❤️
That got me too! :) Amen! God has something better! It's the comeback route! ^^
@@makebacunningham6795 THANK U! 💜 AM PRAYING FOR U! 🙏💯
@@jaquelineestrada7845 THANK U! 💜 AM PRAYING FOR U AS WELL!! 🙏💯🗣
Separation from the worlds way is preparation to live HIS way. There is pure blessing to know that GOD is using it all to redirect us to HIM and how we are called to live by the Word.
🧡
Please pray for my son to be separated from worldly things and worldly friends so he can make wise decisions and seek God in everything
Morning Steve
I want you to know that as a woman in prison, I listen to you and your short massages touch so many of us here keep it up.
Major breakthrough in the process. God is so good. When all others walk out JESUS walks in
🙌
The Holy Spirit always uses you to speak EXACTLY to my season 🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you Ps Furtick. My husband left but that’s alright I’m on a come back route
Jen C you took the words right out of my mouth! Stay strong sister!
Thank you, Jen! ^SF Team
Stay with God and He will turn the situation around for you with a great miracle, if you hold God’s hand in Jesus name!
Yesssss ,thank you Pastor and Mz Holly!!!
God knows when i need to hear these sermons. Amen
Separation is even harder to deal with in a world where being separate doesn't really have the best connotation, and can be confused with things like loneliness. Those "you can't sit with us" kind of situations. Which can make it easy to force being similar, to avoid being misunderstood, standing out or being different. Aborting the promise we know very well God placed inside of our wombs. Not everyone needs to go on maternity leave... Its a special kind of separation...for preparation.
Thank you lord for the reminder.😭 You work best in the desert places - in the separatiiiooonnn!😭❤️
my heart was broken four days ago and ive been feeling alot of emotions, and its hard to believe sometimes that things can be better but i have no doubt that GOD can and will make a change in my life with someone new, and a better opportunity, thank you for your words. amen
How are you doing now? I just got my heart broken 2 days ago.💔
I'd love to hear back from either of you, I've had my heart and life shattered about 4 years ago. I'm devoted to helping others who were hurting like I once was, so I guess I wanna check on you guys!
pastor Steven! you have no idea how incredibly powerful this message hit me. Ever single point in this message reasonated deeply with me. Ive prayed to God every single day for years to tell me why “why i am i different ? why do i feel so seperated from the world, my friends, and everyone in who i am?” and It's like every single worry and fear and anxiety that ive felt growing up for half of my life was because of this persistent feeling. God just answered the why to me through this message! God bless you pastor, i thank the lord for using you as such a powerful vessel.
Thank you for sharing! ^SF Team
Stop worrying about what others think. I've always been considered somewhat of a weirdo but other people love the fact that I'm different.
same!! i think almost everyone feel this way. they dont just broadcast
Great testimony, thank you, God!! ✨🙌✨
I feel your words too Chanel Roe!!
Amen God wants his people to stand out
“I love you, but I can’t be with you all the time!!” I felt that!
Separation from excuses for deeper purpose, WOW! I’m definitely in a season of preparation. I just told my guy friend last Sunday that my husband would need to be someone that could handle me in my gifts. Also been praying deeply for him. God literally has me separated from people. It’s really uncomfortable sometimes. My prayer has literally been for God to hold my hand. I’m aware of some of my gifts but God is doing a new thing. I’m healing deeply and it’s weird and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Pastor SF for this message!
Isaiah 45: 7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
stephan bossidy In Hebrew the word evil is r which also means disaster. Lil confusion in the translation. God didn’t create evil. 😊
@@pmichael4765he created all, are you correcting the kjv with out a blink?
My Bible says calamity not evil.
Separation is preparation!!!! We couldn’t have heard this at any better moment
Motivation4Mental honestly
This whole pandemic and isolation has pushed many of us to find our purpose. I don't think most people would have been here if we weren't in isolation. This was a great sermon and I am learning and working on myself everyday.
God has me on His comeback route. hallelujah
God is definitely starting something in my life with my family. Malachi 4:6 is one of the promises I stand on. My daughter is 11 and I've chosen relationships and drugs over her but 10 Months clean and I am fully confident God is restoring that relationship
Mary Phillips 🙏🏽
Praise God!
Amen
I thank God for another beautiful day. I needed to ear those words of hope.
I can't find someone because God has someone who is going to compliment my calling and purpose thankyou Jesus
Every time I hear his Word, I sincerely repent. God will never forsake those who seek him with an honest and humble heart.
"God's got you on the come back round" Sometimes you may feel same things happened within your life not knowing that God is creating a space for you to see his Purpose. He pulls you back to him, so when you go again you may stand like a Lion roaring because someone before you is Almighty .Thank you so much Pastor Steven whenever I heard your Preach I felt God was the One who spoke to me it was always
on time to be heard.💛
Thank you for sharing, Rouvy! ^SF Team
This separation has honestly been a blessing to me. So many beautiful opportunities has surfaced during this pandemic. I am looking forward to normal!
We are too! ^SF Team
Same
Thank you, im seprated from my husband 2 years, been hard to move on, if it was for jesus and the church helping me a year and a half go i wouldnt be here today, Amen
Oh my God!!!! This just came at the right time. I was too confused and hurt someone close to me is no longer with me and we don't talk and it hurts badly sometimes and I think about all the things that could have been right but now I know why God did this to me. He is just preparing me and the message came at the right time and now I know that God spoke to me through you. Thank you for this Pastor.
I recently just got out of an abusive relationship I’m a recovering alcoholic currently in AA and I’ve just been going through a lot lately I’ve relapsed so many times since that person came into my life again and I left him and I’m ready to separate from everything that’s not helping me and watching this gave me so much comfort and peace. I want to feel close to God again! Thank you Steven Furtick for this video! I need prayers!
We're praying for you! ^SF Team
Official Steven Furtick Thank you so much! 💕💕
Jaqueline Estrada I pray that God strengthens you through all of this and that you see CLEARLY with the focus you need on what is GOOD and GODLY! Don’t lose sight of it!
If you ever need somebody to talk with, I’m here💕
Mavi Castro Thank you so much! 💜💜
As long as this man stays according to scripture - this man is my preacher. He. Does. Not. Miss.
Christ has set me free!
Hallelujah! Separation is indeed preparation. Never waste your season of concencration!
Pastor SF is special . God's gift to us for a time like this .
God is preparing me in the silence. Thank you God for all. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏
Praise God 🙏🔥 I was a stress addict for 32years and have been delivered from that spirit, Hallelujah "He is Risen".
God said.......let there be light.
Thank u steven, thank u elevation church
if "full of energy" was a church 😂🙌
Thank you Jesus for this word........I have to be separated in order for the Lord to prepare me for greater......
I absolutely miss Pastor Steven hollering at a crowd! But no sad thoughts here. Because his passion that he often emits to the crowd changed course and his preachings got even more intimate and personal! It's like, he's no longer preaching to your ears but he's now even more determined to preach to your heart and penetrate your life!!!
That moment when God quarterbacks your life and you've received the message👀! Let loose and take off💨
This sermon blessed me immensely. Thank you Pastor Steven.
Separated for a purpose!!...I was filled with confusion with my present and the past...But now I totally understand. Its a direct word from God for what I was seeking for. "Separation is for preparation" for where God wants me to be. Cos He knows it won't work with me but it will just disrupt my destiny. He called us as His chosen(spoken word), though we may not see it for what exactly we are chosen for so God separated us from where we were in our lives to show and make us understand what we are in His calling...!! Hallelujah 🙌
Thank you pastor steven for this message.
Blessed 😇
Preaching of me pastor...Going back to my home country abruptly but I know it is for God’s purposes..am separated from my church n. Friends for His purpose.i believe God have already started something for me n have already anointed me to move to my country..
So, as someone currently going through a season of isolation, this was just what I needed to hear. I was already pretty familiar with the concept, but it's different when you're actually living it. I guess I was formerly dismissive of the concept, but it's definitely a real thing and it kind of just came clear out of nowhere. It doesn't feel too great living thousands of miles away from the place you grew up and having the few close people that you actually have suddenly walk out of your life for seemingly no reason at all. Can't really put into words how lonely it's been at times, but it's given me way more time to spend meditating on the word and spending time in the secret place with Abba. This sermon was not-so-lowkey brilliant and I'm glad I stopped scrolling to listen to it. *subscribed*
Thank you so much. I have never thought of people leaving your life or having no one around as separation for preparing you for something better. In Jesus Name!! Thank you for your encouragement
I needed this - I don't fit in at work because I am better quality than my coworkers. I've been feeling lonely and separated. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be...because God is preparing me and setting an example thru me. Thank you for posting this!! God's grace be with you all.
God bless you sister..Am in the Same place ,am alone and lonely,no friends,I feel I don’t fit in..
I don't fit in because I am in the wrong place. I'm surrounded by narcissists and constant drama. Thank God for this time of working from home (i.e. separation) from that bad energy. Now I am preparing for the next right move God has for me!!!
WOOOW!!! LIVE, LIVE, LIVE!!!!!
When I tell you that your sermons are always so timely. This word 👏🏽
This really put me in tears. I needed to hear this right now. This is so accurate
Wow wow wow wow ... RIGHT ON TIME‼️

Separation can allow you to work on yourself and come back straightforward and stronger than ever before but it isn't easy.. you can separate the men from the boys at any moment... it's up to you
Amazing ! I wish this was longer. Thank you so much for letting God use you to guide his people.
That was fantastic xxx I felt every word and needed to hear it.. thank you Steve and thank you Lord x
