Why Am I Going Through This? | Steven Furtick

  • It’s hard to make sense of what’s going on in the world right now. Many of us have begun to ask: why? God, why is this happening? Why are we experiencing this? As Pastor Steven Furtick shares through Acts 8, Paul shows us what it looks like to move forward in moments where it doesn’t make sense. God doesn't tell Paul a whole series of explanations for why he faced a shipwreck or was bitten by a snake. He doesn't give him a reason; He gives him a revelation.
    Since Paul had already received the revelation that God wanted him to go to Rome, a shipwreck and snake bite can’t stop him. You have to learn how to operate by revelation in your own life and find the opportunity God has waiting for you on the other side of the attack.

Becoming a fan of your preaching and staying in tune with your content has been very motivating and has amplified my faith x10. Thank you so much Steven. Keep doing what you do.

      Victoria Bella Victoria Bella keep seeking God never stop praying He will give you the strength to keep going. Do not give up always lean on Him no matter how you’re feeling and He will uplift your spirit and encourage you. This will only make you stronger God will strengthen your faith and your faith will continue to grow over time. I’ll be praying for you everyday I know how it feels I’ve been there and it does get better I know everyone says that but it’s true. I know it may feel like the end but I promise you getting through this will only make you more resilient and strong. God’s got you He’s always there even though you don’t feel Him He’s there listening to your prayers. He has big plans for you He sees your strength and perseverance each and every day. He sees how hard it is for you but He wants you to know that you are more stronger than you think you are He’s seen your potential so don’t give up run to Him always and He will always protect you and comfort you. I pray that He fills you with endurance and helps you realize that your worth more than you think. I recommend reading Jeremiah 29:11 it helped me when I struggled with depression and still helps me whenever I go through a tough time.

      Please consider looking at Kenneth Hagin's Believers authority videos, they will help you understand how the invisible world of enemies have attached and have been influencing your life without you knowing about it.

I still have hope and faith. God has never forsaken me. Like that song says: "My feet are planted on this rock and I will not be shaken." God is always there!!

I've worked so hard to get to this point and I wouldn't want it to go to waste because of what I'm going through..I feel invisible and I'm slowly distancing myself from my loved ones..I keep asking myself why God would allow me to go through such a thing..I am waiting for a breakthrough and I believe that God will have mercy upon me🙏

    And slowly, I'm starting to let go of the anger and unforgiveness for this season I am into.
    It had to happen. God is teaching and showing me something. There ain't no need for a reason, for the Lord is giving me a revelation. The Lord is in control, I just have to let go of my original plans, and let Him take over.
    How powerful your sermon is, Pastor Steven Furtick! What you can do to people even virtually, especially to me helps me get through especially this pandemic, hope time will come, I'll be able to go there physically and attend service at Elevation Church. 😍🙌

    There's something you barely survived that has left you feeling hopeless. And now you're in a stuck place. In fact you've been there for many years. Paul's in prison for preaching the Gospel, and now he's shipwrecked because they wouldn't listen to him. Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, he gets bit by a snake. In a place he wasn't even supposed to be. When bad things keep happening to you, people will draw their own conclusions. They'll think you must-have done something to deserve it. When it looks like it's the end for you, shake it off before it kills you. One day you'll see it had to happen. You had to go through it, for God to prove his power. God wants everybody who's watching to see you shake it off. He wants everyone around you to see you trust Him though he slay you. Faith doesn't prevent you from being bit. People will stand there and watch to see what happens next. They won't lift a finger to help you, but they'll stand there staring at you as you struggle. There are people surprised that you survived them. Misery or mission you have a decision to make while you're in that stuck place. What can you do where you are? Your opportunities in life will come from the adversity you go through. You had to go through something that required you to lean into faith, because you couldn't find a way without God. Someone's problem is your opportunity. You're the answer to someone's problem. Paul was the answer to the man's sickness. That's when he understood why he was shipwrecked on Malta. The same hand that was bit by a snake now healed a man. What you went through that almost killed you, will be the thing God uses. What did you go through that you wish you never went through? It had to happen. Paul healed the whole Island. Malta needed Paul. Somewhere someone needs something that's come from what you went through.

      @@jenniferrivera1805 I'm so glad to hear that you've turned to Jesus for help. I try to be sensitive in my spirit to any opportunity that I could help someone in my Malta. I overheard my chiropractors son talking about sick kids hospital so I asked what was going on and he told me that his sons 6 month old baby was going in for heart surgery then he asked me to pray for baby Finn. I've never been asked by someone I've known for years to pray for them and for something so serious. I teared up because it meant alot to me. Which I also didn't know. I didn't know that this gift, this relationship with Jesus and the holy spirit meant so much to me until that moment. To think that my prayers might make a difference in someone's life is a good feeling. I hope God blesses you in that stuck place. I hope you are blessed and like Paul you become a blessing.

Now me and my kids have no place to go we planned as a family to move from Florida to Charlotte in July now I'll be heading there alone with my kids. But God has something in store for me and my kids, I mainly want to move to Charlotte to be able to come to church instead of watching.

She was keeping the money and not making payments.I have custody of our boys and we dont know where we are going to go. I am now working full time and was making the payments. But had no idea how far we were behind because she had the mail going to her. We were served Friday. Have 5 days to pack up a house with 24 years of things while trying to work fullrime and also find somewhere to go. Am lost and dont have answeres. Have been praying. I could buy the place but have not been at my job for 6 months. Sept 9 will be 6 months. We are homeless as of friday the 14th of August. Very scared. Need help so bad. Please GOD HELP.

    This sermon hit me in my current circumstances like a bullseye. I believe the boat represented the provision that God made for Paul to carry him to his calling Rome. But the storm was so great that it even destroyed the provision. This recently happened to me, a blessing God gave, a boat, has been carrying me for quite some time, was utterly destroyed by a terrible storm. Gos showed me in advance the storm was coming and that it would be great but I didn’t know what it would consist of. I went through the absolute hardest season of my life which happen to come on the end of an extremely long trial. I was brought well passed the end of myself in every way. I did my understand why God destroyed the boat until I heard this sermon. Thank you.

Don’t let the devil convince you that God isn’t on your side! 🙌🏾 (I pray that I may have this faith. I pray for steadfastness and courage for myself and to everyone else who feels like giving up 🙌🏾)

I was a very selfish person who didn't care always about myself or anyone else the devil stole from me everything that mattered. Over the years since then I've seen my children turn into attics just as I am, it's killing me. My 23 year old daughter whose birthday is today died in September last year drug overdose. I can sit here and tell you how I'm not a bad person how I try to treat people good but I keep having bad happen to me. And I'm always asking God why why but the truth is I've done nothing to deserve anything. So looking back on all sadness and destruction I caused I can't help but think I had to go through it. I'm still going through it today I'm in active addiction and my 17-year-old son is all as well we are together and we are homeless he turns 18 in 2 days we're both talking about treatment but God has been speaking to me he wants me to go to spread his word in the homeless places. This isn't the first time he has spoke to me about this same thing. I think you Stephen it's really make me think and you make sense to what the Lord is telling me you're a blessing keep the sermons coming little by little the wall is being broken I appreciate you

    God is using Mr. Furtick. Every word was mine. I’m going over both old and recent videos and you’re speaking to me. Thank you. Whatever I’m going through had to happen. Amen.
