“Not Now” Is Not “No” | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

Sometimes, when you’ve been waiting a long time on something, God isn’t saying, “no,” He’s going slow to teach you something. This sermon will help you feel encouraged that just because it’s not happening on your schedule, doesn’t mean it’s not happening on God’s.

“Not Now” Is Not “No” | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

Just because you've run out, doesn't mean God won't step in. Where in your life can you invite Him to step into your situation?

Can you pray for me, I'm almost 6 months clean and sober and your ministry has helped me soo much. I don't want to lose sight of God and I want to find the path he wants me to walk, I want to find what his will is for me. Thank you so much for all you do! My name is Sean Bozarth thankyou

I’m in literal tears when I was trying for a baby with my husband for almost 3 years just as I had given up six months later I got pregnant by my first born and had a beautiful pregnancy and a healthy baby girl. She came at the perfect time because I had completed exactly the right amount of hours at work to receive my Health insurance benefits, and maternity leave. God is great. Don’t stop believing when I was 12. I dated a boy who I thought was the love of my life for two months. I was heartbroken for five years and I would pray to God to help me forget him I had a dream that night and he said not yet 10 years later, he is now my husband we have been together for the same amount of years. I was heartbroken over him trust in God‘s timing. I’ve seen it firsthand and even though I have doubts sometimes or get patience it’s sermons like this that reminds me that God has never left me, the water I will keep on pouring will be buckets full of faith please Lord don’t ever let me forget that you’re a miracle worker and that you are a good God

My sermon notes for "Not now is not no"

1.) Reach and release. It's happening on his timing. Is not happening according to your preference but according to his will. God knows the best time for you

2.) Just because you have run out doesn't mean God won't step in. Even though there is no more support, God will step in

3.) God is not slow because he can't, he is slowing it down so you can learn and teach others. Slow it down so you can learn how you can pick up the pace and learn to be better. Do whatever he tells you and don't let the math distract you

4.) Refusal=Reset. You don't need to know everything, you just need to do what God tells you. Reset in order to reveal, fill the jar by faith

5.) Get ready for God to do something different in your life. God saves the best til last. Declare this statement over yourself "God do something to do something in my life, serve the best wine of my life"

When this was released, I was in separation with my wife…I was in prayer all day incessantly…day after day. 7 days later now, I received the call, the healing has happened in my wife and myself…I’m returning home today. This is real, God be the glory.

Dear kind sir, you have been telling me to hold on for 4 years. You have encouraged me with God's word, saying that He loves and cares for me. My faith has been tested through the worst storm, losing my precious son. I am broken and bleeding, destroyed and depressed, waiting and wondering how Jesus is going to save me. I guess I will continue to wait for God's timing. I wonder what He will do with me? I found your preaching during COVID and I swear you gave me some hope. Thank you for sharing your love for God with me ! Keep telling us to Wait on Him, that He is Enough(Jireh) and to Trust Him. ❤
