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.

    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.

    "It had to happen" 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. God please open doors please make a way for us to get where you want me to be in you, in Jesus name I pray.

    I'm also going through a separation/ divorce. I've been going through so much 😪 he has ruined my life in so many ways. We split up when we were engaged bc of his emotional, mental, and physical abuse. I left him and a year later he manipulated me into thinking that he had changed and he couldn't live without me. So I married him and my life went right back to crap. He wants me to treat him like he's my child instead of my partner. I've been praying to God for strength and wisdom everyday. I can't blame him fully I take responsibility for my part of our marriage not working. Trust is a big part and foundation of a marriage and trust is like a piece of paper once the paper is crinkled you can never make it back to the way it was before it was crinkled... you can never make it the way it was. 💔

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. Pastor Furtick i have been following you for months now. I know somehow someway God will help but as of right now Im stuck. God bless you all. Love you all. Rich. Beldo.

    There’s something soooo powerful that I felt when Paul got bitten by the snake, and pastor Steven said “ Paul knew that he had to get to Rome”, this implies that the snake bite won’t kill him. 🙌🏾 the seas didn’t kill him 🙌🏾 the devil threw the worst at him but he still came out strong to fulfill the Lords purpose! 👏🏾 there’s something so powerful about knowing that if God have you some purpose, He will see it to finish! Don’t let the devil convince you that God isn’t on your side! 🙌🏾 (I pray that I may have this faith.

    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.

    Steve, God has spoke to me through your sermons while I was doing wicked and deviant things. It was like you were speaking directly to me. I had one foot in the door and I still felt skeptical. But your sermon gave me so much guilt that I picked the Bible up and then God was giving me as much guilt as you were and it put me at a low that was lower than I've ever been. I asked God to please forgive me and He touched me so hard that I was writhing and screaming in pain and pleasure that was better than any drug I have tasted. I couldn't stop saying how much I was a wicked fool and God overfilled my cup. My mother was a witness to my testimony. Please pray for me, I have a long way to go and I can't do it on my own. I know God will never abandon me. I love you all and thank you for listening

    Can’t tell you enough how finding your channel has changed my life! I was so down in a deep dark depression from numerous things & coming across your videos after typing in the search something I was struggling with at that moment…there you were. God brought me right to you for a reason. Thank you & thank you God! 🙏🏼❤️

    I have faith but I've always struggled with "organized religion" I am so moved and touched by Steven that I find myself watching him instead of television. I find myself wishing there was a house of worship similar to this near me. I'm on a mission now. It has to happen

    I just started watching your videos and I feel like God is talking straight to me through you. Gave me goosebumps knowing that his holy spirit is in me. I am single mom and have been going through a lot, but I know God has plans for me. Thank you for these videos!

    I REALLY needed this today! Thank you. Everyday I get in my car I turn on your sermons.. I am so grateful to have found you pastor Stephen Furtick. You are simply the one that Gods word truly shines through to me. A single mother of 4 and terrible life events in the past. You have probably saved my life more times than I can count, just when I am hopeless abe want to give up its exactly what i need. AMAZING 🙌Thank you. Praise the Lord🙏💕 Keep on keeping on. Please keep my family in your prayers. God Bless ❤

    I would love to see Pastor Furtick in person. I have been watching, listening and learning from him for 8 years now. He has aided in building my faith.
