More Ready Than You Recognize

Podcast Summary: More Ready Than You Recognize

Elevation with Steven Furtick
Release Date: February 1, 2026
Host: Pastor Steven Furtick (Elevation Church)

---

Overview

In this powerful, encouraging episode, Pastor Steven Furtick delivers a message titled “More Ready Than You Recognize,” centered around the theme of preparedness for life’s unexpected storms, faith in God’s provision, and the difference between facing “weather” and “warfare.” Drawing from Matthew 7:24-29, stories from his life and ministry, and iconic biblical moments, Steven encourages listeners with the truth that even when we feel unprepared, God has already equipped us for what’s coming. The sermon pivots on the idea that true readiness is about practical trust and action, building on the “rock” foundation of faith rather than the shifting sands of circumstances and emotions.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Prayer and Declaration of Faith

[02:14 – 04:59]

• The episode opens with a heartfelt prayer, inviting listeners to speak faith over their situations, recalling God’s miraculous power (“His blood is enough. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Glory to God.” – Steven Furtick, 02:24).
• Emphasis is placed on God’s capacity to intervene in any circumstance, referencing the raising of Lazarus as an example of God calling the unprepared to new life.

2. Setting the Stage – Reflections on Ministry and Readiness

[05:29 – 10:08]

• Pastor Furtick discusses the unpredictability of life and ministry:
  • He humorously refers to snow disrupting church gatherings, likening it to the disruptions everyone faces.
• He celebrates 20 years of Elevation Church, reinforcing God’s faithfulness.

3. The Foundation: Matthew 7 and the Sermon on the Mount

[10:08 – 15:19]

• Main Text: Matthew 7:24-29 – The wise and foolish builders.
• Furtick shares his personal feeling of unpreparedness for a recent sermon—paralleling the feeling many have before life’s sudden storms (“I’m not ready to preach. You and I both know I had set aside the next few days to study...” – Steven Furtick, 09:15).
• He introduces the message’s core: “You are more ready than you recognize.”

4. The Principle: God’s Provision Over Our Preparation

[11:53 – 14:56]

• “Just because I wasn’t prepared doesn’t mean God hadn’t already provided. God can provide in a place where you don’t feel prepared.” (Steven Furtick, 12:49)
• Furtick draws parallels between ancient listeners to Jesus who faced sudden, flash-flooding storms and modern believers who encounter unexpected challenges.
• The challenge is to recognize God’s advance provision even in unanticipated trouble.

5. Storms Come to Everyone – Shifting the Narrative

[15:19 – 19:01]

• “Both had storms.” – Emphasizing that storms of life come to all, regardless of foundation.
• Christianity doesn’t guarantee exemption from hardship; it develops inner strength, perseverance, and a wider lens (“...it does not necessarily cause the rain to stop falling.” – Steven Furtick, 15:47).

6. From Teaching to Training: The Practice of Faith

[17:58 – 19:01]

• Distinction between learning about faith (teaching) and enduring actual challenges (training).
• Memorable differentiation:
  • “Teaching is we talk about the Greek word for patience. Training is your family is coming to town next week.” (Steven Furtick, 17:59)
  • “Jesus didn’t say power comes from quoting... Jesus said the power is in the practice.” (Steven Furtick, 19:01)
• Encourages “practicing praise” so that, in sudden storms, believers have spiritual muscle memory to recall God’s faithfulness.

7. Weather vs. Warfare: Not Every Struggle is Spiritual Attack

[21:10 – 26:20]

• “It’s not always warfare. Sometimes it’s just weather.” (Steven Furtick, 24:05)
• Urges listeners not to over-spiritualize every challenge (“The Devil didn’t give you a flat tire. You just drove through a construction site.” – Steven Furtick, 24:09).
• Sometimes practical solutions (like rest or a walk) rather than intense spiritual struggle are what’s needed.

8. When the Unexpected Happens – God’s Sovereignty Amid Surprises

[27:51 – 32:57]

• Drawing from Mark 8, Steven relates how the disciples worried about not having bread, forgetting Jesus’s previous miracles.
• Encouragement for people facing unanticipated pain, setbacks, confusion, or loss—God anticipated these moments and has already provided for them.
  • “Just because the storm was sudden to you, doesn’t mean God stopped being sovereign over the storm.” (Steven Furtick, 29:16)

9. Resource & Relationship: What You Have is Enough

[31:00 – 33:01]

• “If God gave me the challenge to meet, God will give me the resource to meet it. Somebody say, 'I’ve got resource.'” (Steven Furtick, 31:16)
• “Anytime you have relationship with someone who is the source, you don’t have to worry about the bread you forgot…” (Steven Furtick, 31:46)

10. Building with What You’ve Got: Lessons from David and Solomon

[33:01 – 41:43]

• Story of David providing resources for Solomon’s temple; the importance of building with what’s been given, even when feeling inexperienced.
• Key phrase: “Build with it. Stop saying, ‘I’m not ready.’ Stop saying, ‘I don’t have it,’ and build with it.” (Steven Furtick, 34:30)
• Connection to David’s earlier life: Practicing with rocks as a shepherd prepared him to face Goliath.

11. Illustration: David and Goliath – Practicing Before the Giant Arrives

[36:10 – 41:43]

• Youth speaker Graham is called up unexpectedly to recap 1 Samuel 16–17, showing that readiness is often revealed on the spot.
• “The calling proves my confidence. God would not call you to do it if He was not confident that you could.” (Steven Furtick, 42:12)

12. Reframing Storms: Foundations Revealed, Not Ruined

[44:00 – 47:36]

• “It wasn’t ruined. Its foundation was revealed.” (Steven Furtick, 45:40)
• Facing storms doesn’t prove we’re out of God’s will; it’s part of life on earth. The key is what our life is built upon.
• “Let’s not complain about what God gave us.” (Steven Furtick, 45:06)

13. Storms Reveal Trust – God Reveals Truth

[47:36 – 54:48]

• Storms offer opportunity to see the stability of our foundation in Christ.
• “The Lord reveals His truth, and the storm reveals my trust.” (Steven Furtick, 47:49)
• Not every negative feeling or season is a sign of failure; sometimes, it’s a chance to grow deeper roots.

14. The Solid Rock: Unshakeable Foundation in Christ

[54:48 – 55:08]

• Furtick closes with the hymn:

  “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.”

• God uses moments when we feel at “rock bottom” as the best places to build faith.

15. Call to Salvation & Application

[55:08 – 58:45]

• An invitation to make Jesus the Lord and foundation of one’s life.
• Listeners are encouraged to stop building on unstable things and respond to God, who “wouldn’t have called you if He wasn’t confident you could, and if He wasn’t going to do it with you.” (Steven Furtick, 47:11)

I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. Right now, join hands with the person next to you. If you're watching this in your home, grab somebody and snatch them and say, pray with me.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Speak this out loud.

[Steven Furtick]

Say in the name of Jesus, the.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Savior of the world. All things are possible.

[Steven Furtick]

Every need is met. Every sin can be forgiven. His blood is enough. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Glory to God. Bless your name, Lord. I believe in you Lord. I've seen you move in My life. I've seen you change impossible situations. I've seen you in the fire. I've felt your hand and heard your voice on raging waters. I come to you now because there may be somebody today who needs a word from you. Something that only you know about, Something only you can fix. Something only your grace can cover. And maybe, just maybe, Lord, that you would use this time in your presence, whether they're in the building or whether they're watching online, it really doesn't matter to you. You can reach anywhere. You can touch anyone. You could do anything. There's nothing too hard for you. It may just be God of all creation, our redeemer, that you would reach through eternity into time and snatch somebody off the bad path. It may just be that you would reach from eternity into time and turn somebody back toward home. It may just be that you would call their name. Today you called Lazarus name. By all accounts, he had no business getting up and running because he had been dead four days. But when you said his name, his legs started pumping, his heart started working, and he started running. Father, today, would you do that kind of thing in this place? Physically, emotionally, spiritually? We surrender this time to you. I thank you for your word. Isaiah 55 says that it never returns void. It accomplishes the purpose you sent it to do. I believe your word is going to work. Today I give you praise because it's already done. In Jesus name, I pray. We love you, Lord, and we're not.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Ashamed to be seen praising you. You did it all for us. Come on, let's give God a great praise. Hey, everybody online. I told to give God a great praise, but they gave him a halfway praise. So I'm going to give you a chance. Give your God hey. A great praise. It's a great day to be alive. I was glad when they said unto.

[Steven Furtick]

Me, let us go to the house of the Lord. I was sad when they said unto me, we're having snow again.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I thought, we have to find a.

[Steven Furtick]

Way to get the word out to the people once again.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

So for the second week in a row, we got here a little early. We rounded up all of the people who are going to be the first ones taken in the Rapture. We're here today to minister the word of God to you. Somebody put it in the chat, say, this one's for me. High five. 12 people say it's for you too. Praise the Lord. God is good. Everybody who's grateful to be here, make some noise and thank the Lord.

[Steven Furtick]

If you are watching online and you regularly attend one of our campuses. I expect your butt back in church next week. We're celebrating two decades of divine miracles and the faithfulness of Almighty God. Y' all not going to take me back to 2020 and put me in an empty room for six months. I'm not doing it. I'm excited about that. Also. We'll have the best opportunity to gather with those around the country who are part of our EFAM for our Elevation.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Nights tour is coming quickly. I want you to get your tickets right now. Go to elevationnights.com Hershey, Pennsylvania, Brooklyn, New.

[Steven Furtick]

York, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids. It'll be nice and warm there. Knoxv, Tennessee, Columbus, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois. February 24, March 5, elevationnights.com we also want to celebrate our Orlando campus.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

We envy your weather and we celebrate your ministry six years. Let's give it up for Elevation Orlando.

[Steven Furtick]

I believe I'll preach now. That's the part where y' all are supposed to get so excited that it's just, like, electric. Last week my message was, it's worth the dirt. And it is. It's in the unseen places of our life that God does the greatest work. Sometimes the messiest moments are the most magnificent and the most miraculous. Today I want to share with you from a foundational scripture in Matthew, chapter seven. You'll see why I call it a foundational scripture in just a moment. Matthew, chapter 7, verses 24, 29, to be specific. I was not ready to preach yet. I got a phone call from our chief of staff here at the church, who said, if we want to preach, it's going to need to be tomorrow. It might not be safe or we might not be able to do it. After that, I told the Lord, I'm not ready to preach. You and I both know I had set aside the next few days to study. Lord, since you do rule the universe, could you move the weather that's going to be bad to the days where we're not gathering in your name?

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Are we not on the same team here?

[Steven Furtick]

Of course, I understand that there are far more pressing issues to the Lord than when my study day is. But I was praying like that. He gave me my message title while I was praying about my message. The title I want to use for this message is actually, I want you to say it to your neighbor. Look at them and say, you are more ready than you recognize. You're more ready than you recognize. Then the Lord said, you've already got your scripture. I said, I do. He said, yeah, you memorized it because you've been preaching it since you were 16. Matthew, chapter 7, verse 24. Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice, like a wise man who built his house on the rock, the rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it was fell with a great crash. When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching because he taught as one who had authority and not as one of their teachers of the law. Verse 25 is my assignment. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

So now tell your other neighbor.

[Steven Furtick]

Tell them you're more ready than you recognize. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. You're more ready than you recognize. As I consider the memories of ministry that I've experienced from my vantage point over the last 20 years, one stands out that surprises me the most. Everywhere I go to minister God's Word, when I meet people, they tell me a different report of how this ministry has touched their life. I live for those moments. It's one thing to write a book, write a song, or preach a sermon. It's another thing to get to speak with someone that that word touched personally. That's a beautiful thing. Sometimes people start crying. Sometimes people apologize. They say, I haven't been to church in three years, but I used to really like it over there at elevation. I always tell them, you know where to find me when you need me. There's one thing I've heard over and over again over the past five years that may surprise you as well. I'm still hearing it, although I thought it would be over by now, just over and over again. People will say thank you for your ministry. Your church got us through Covid as a family. Your church got us through the pandemic as a family. Your church got us through a very dark time in that season as a family. The reason that surprises me is because I've never felt less ready or prepared to pastor than I did in that season. The time that represented the greatest test for me has resulted in the most testimonies in his wake. I remember the first sermon we did not to bring you back into that timeframe. But just for a minute. Let's go there. A little bit of a flashback perhaps to help us set the foundation for the message. When we came in here in an empty room, you were there. You were there. I love you so much. You weren't there. Where were you? You were there. I remember putting them on the stools and I just said, I need to have some people who love me me. They did that and we did that, and LJ did that and some of you did that. But what's so amazing about it, and this is kind of what I want to get across for your life, is that just because I wasn't prepared doesn't mean God had not already provided. That's a very important principle I want you to get today. Just because I'm not prepared doesn't mean God hasn't provided. God can provide in a place where you don't feel prepared. I'm not telling you to apply that logic to your AP chemistry test, but I am saying that when you run up on the situations of your life you did not see coming, the storms you didn't see coming, or the storms they say are coming that never seem to come, this would be a good thing for us to preach about because Jesus said there were storms on these two different houses. Understand, when Jesus is teaching, he's teaching people who live in a very dry, arid climate. When a storm would come, it would come upon them suddenly. It could change so quickly from a nice warm day to an absolute gully washer. How you like that for a monk's Corner, South Carolina vocabulary word. It could happen so fast to a crowd who was familiar with flash floods without the convenience of a weather app. Or maybe we could say the demon of a weather app. Have you noticed that sometimes all of the stuff we do to get ready for the storm is worse than the actual storm is? Help me preach, Southerners.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Somehow we ended up with seven dozen.

[Steven Furtick]

Eggs in our house.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Now what are we going to do.

[Steven Furtick]

With this generator but to sit on.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

It and watch tv? Because there are two types of people in the world, those who believe weathermen and those who have intelligence. Now I want to move on to my text. Jesus said there were two men. One built on the rock, one built.

[Steven Furtick]

On the sand, but built. But both had storms. Repeat it. Both had storms. Thank you very much.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Put it in the chat.

[Steven Furtick]

Both had storms. Away from this Christianity that teaches you.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

That to accept Jesus Christ makes every.

[Steven Furtick]

Element of your life better in a temporal sense.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

It makes you stronger. It makes your spirit bigger. It makes your lens wider.

[Steven Furtick]

It makes your perseverance a little bit more dogged.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

But it does not necessarily cause the rain to stop falling.

[Steven Furtick]

The Bible says his sun rises and his rain falls on the wicked and the righteous.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I came to preach today, I didn't think I was ready, but the Lord.

[Steven Furtick]

Said, you're more ready than you recognize.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

When I preached this text at age 16, I remember after I got done.

[Steven Furtick]

Preaching at Jody, Pastor Mickey was out there and he's about 65 and I was 60, I got up and preached a message.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Can you believe this as a 16 year old about the storms of life? What storms at 16 could I possibly.

[Steven Furtick]

Have felt so confident to minister about? I remember Pastor Mickey got up afterwards and he goes, thanks, Stephen, for that message on storms.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

He said it almost like it had.

[Steven Furtick]

Air quotes around it, ironic air quotes around it. Thank you for that perspective on the trials of life from the rugged experience of a 16 year old. Yet I believe that regardless of the level you experience your storm on, your storm, your trial, your situation, your mental health battle, your relational drama, your storm is on assignment in your life. Jesus was teaching the crowds and the Bible says they were amazed at his teaching. But remember, he was also teaching his disciples. While he was teaching the crowds, he was also training the disciples. There is a difference between teaching and training. Teaching, you get notes about storms. Training, you get in the boat and go through one. Do you see what I'm saying?

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Teaching is.

[Steven Furtick]

We talk about the Greek word for patience. Training is your family is coming to town next week.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Teaching.

[Steven Furtick]

I'm going to keep going until we hit the spot because teaching is you praying, Lord, make me more loving.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Training is God letting you have a.

[Steven Furtick]

Hater so you can practice turning the other cheek.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Did you notice the word Jesus said? He said, everyone who puts my words.

[Steven Furtick]

Into practice, y', all.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I wouldn't change a Bible verse, but.

[Steven Furtick]

If I could, I would say, therefore.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Everyone who hears these words of mine and writes them down in a notebook. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and posts them on their social media account. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and quotes them on a post.

[Steven Furtick]

It note in their mirror.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

But Jesus didn't say power comes from posting. Jesus didn't even say power comes from quoting.

[Steven Furtick]

Jesus said the power is in the practice.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

In a sense, that's all this is.

[Steven Furtick]

Today, when you lift your hands, you're.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Practicing for when you need to give.

[Steven Furtick]

A situation to God.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

This week you're practicing for when the sudden storms, the floods of life, for when the rains Come down and the streams rise and the winds blow and beat against the house of your heart and your life and your sanity.

[Steven Furtick]

You are practicing so you will have.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Muscle memory and miracle memory to remember that God, who is above all, is able to hold whatever is weighing you down. I want us to take just about 13, 14, 15 seconds to practice praising God in case we get in a storm this week that we didn't see coming.

[Steven Furtick]

There you go.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

You have 10 seconds to practice. You got eight seconds.

[Steven Furtick]

Can I get some water?

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds. It's going to be three long seconds while I drink. So when the rain comes, just lift your hands like an umbrella and say, it might fall, but I won't. It might come, but it can't stay. I'm practicing my praise in the presence of the Lord.

[Steven Furtick]

High five.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Your neighbor say, I'm getting my practice in my practice praise. You never can tell when the streams are going to rise. You're never going to tell when the big bad wolf might huff and puff and try to blow my house in. But this is not a straw hut, baby. This is not a temporary trailer. This is not a tent built with human hands. I got practice for that.

[Steven Furtick]

Praise the Lord. So he said, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice. You got it? It's like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Okay, I want to say something to all of us who constantly feel like the devil is attacking us, messing with us and sabotaging our lives. I'm going to prove it to you from the scripture I just read. So you will not be arguing with me. You will be arguing with this scripture if you read the scripture. And this is Jesus final summary of a sermon called the Sermon on the Mount. The reason I memorized parts of this is because it was my dad's favorite scripture. When he would sit around reading it, my mom, when she would be mad at him, she'd say, it ain't no good to read it if you don't practice it. Larry. Then he'd say, you'll be judged for every idle word.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Faith.

[Steven Furtick]

Telling all my family business.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I told y' all I didn't have enough time to edit the sermon.

[Steven Furtick]

What do you want me to do? I would have took that out if I would have had a little more time. Now, this sermon talks about things that are countercultural. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for there is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are peacemakers. They will be called sons of God. Blessed, pure in heart, they will see. God bless all of these things that Jesus says. He talks about lust, he talks about adultery, he talks about greed, he talks about worry. He talks about everything. He covers the entire gamut of the human experience with authority and accuracy, all in these three chapters of Scripture. At the end of it all, in an attempt to sum it all up, he says, therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice like a wise man who built his house on the rock, the rain came down, streams rose, winds blew and beat against that house. I read all three of those trials and I didn't see anything about the devil. What I saw was life. I know there are intense periods where the enemy comes against us. I've had some of those. But there are also seasons where you are just empty because you are exhausted and you have run out of energy. There are times where the devil blocks your way and there are some times where you're just stuck in traffic. There are some times where the devil has visited you with a spirit of weariness. There are some times where you just didn't put your phone on the nightstand in time to get enough sleep. There are times where the devil attacks you with sickness, and there are times where you have not exercised in three months and you are not giving your body the proper come back to the pulpit. I felt exposed standing out there. Maybe if I stand behind here. So I'm trying to say it's not always warfare. Sometimes it's just weather. It's just weather. Don't take everything so seriously. Because if everything we ever perceive in our life that is a little bit adversarial we attribute to the accuser of the brethren, then we give the devil as much power as God. We assume that the devil has infinite ammunition to fire at his enemy and he doesn't. The devil only has so much ammunition, so he doesn't have enough ammunition to give you a flat tire. You just drove through a construction site. That's just weather. That's just life. That's just building materials.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Some of the things we are praying.

[Steven Furtick]

About at a warfare level, it's really just weather.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Sometimes you don't need a three hour.

[Steven Furtick]

Exorcism to get the spirit of depression out of your life. You need a walk.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

You need a walk. You need to get up and walk. Put your face up toward the sun, Let it beat on your face a little bit. Just get Outside a little bit, play a Bob Marley song. I don't know what it is, but sometimes it's just weather. Sometimes it's just the fact I told Holly it had been five days since I left the house. Y', all, I love when it snows. I like to be by myself.

[Steven Furtick]

It gives me an excuse.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I can say I'm doing it out of safety. I'm really just doing it because I don't like to be around people. I really enjoy it.

[Steven Furtick]

But sometimes I'll get in this shutdown situation where I'll start thinking I'm under attack. I'm not under attack. I'm in isolation. When I confuse what is warfare with what is weather.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I'm trying to fight against everything in my life.

[Steven Furtick]

And not everything is about a fight. Some things are just about a forecast.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

There are going to be good moods.

[Steven Furtick]

There are going to be bad moods.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

There are going to be times you.

[Steven Furtick]

Come to church and you feel God. There are going to be some times when you come to church and you don't get anything resembling a goosebump. God is no less God when you didn't get a goosebumps.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

God is not proven by goosebumps.

[Steven Furtick]

Do you see what I'm saying? I feel like I can just break this down today a little bit. Because we think that naming the name of Jesus will cancel out the consequences of everyday life, or that it's somehow going to make us float from one appointment to the other. Please don't believe this. One of the things the Savior does so well in his teaching is that he prepares his disciples for the storm. I wish I would have told them to put one more scripture up there. I didn't think about using it, but it's been so good to see it. Mark, chapter eight. 22. Y' all were ready. They were more ready than I gave them credit for.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I really didn't tell them to put.

[Steven Furtick]

The scripture up, but they were ready when they came to Bethsaida. Actually, I want to go back a few verses before that. I want to go back to verse 14. Can y' all do that? When the disciples were in the boat with Jesus and they had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. Be careful. Jesus warned them, watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod. They discussed this with one another and said, it's because we have no bread. Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them, why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember when I broke the five loaves for the 5000, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up? 12, they replied. When I broke the seven loaves for the 4000, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up? They answered seven. He said to them, this is what I want to ask myself sometimes. Do you still not understand? Do you still not understand that just because you're not prepared doesn't mean God didn't provide? Do you not understand that just because the storm was sudden to you doesn't mean God stopped being sovereign over the storm? Don't you recognize that God, who has called you by name will keep you through every season of your life? I don't know who this is for, but I want to minister to you because something has taken you by surprise. You did not expect that medical report. You did not expect to have to be in the principal's office keeping your kid in school every other week. You did not expect to still be doing fertility treatments three years into this journey. You did not expect to still be single in this season of your life. You did not expect for your marriage to be coming to an end at this young of a place in its inception. You did not expect to be this far behind in your finances at this age and stage. You did not expect to be this many years away from being able to retire. You did not expect to still be struggling with this issue. You have laid on the altar over and over again. You did not expect for the panic attacks to start again. They've been gone for three years. You did not expect for yourself to be reaching for the pills again because you thought you had moved on from that dependency. You did not expect that person to walk out of your life.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

And in fact they told you, I'll.

[Steven Furtick]

Never leave you, even if everybody else does. You did not expect in this season of your life to be feeling distant from God. You did not expect in this season.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Of your life to feel so confused.

[Steven Furtick]

About what your next step is. I just want to remind you that you can be confidently confused. Confidently confused, that is. I did not.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I did not expect this. But just because I wasn't prepared for.

[Steven Furtick]

This does not mean God hasn't provided for this.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Now I'm just looking for the loaf that's in the boat that I did.

[Steven Furtick]

Not see with my human eyes because.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I'm more ready than I recognize. If God put the crowd in front of me to feed, he will give me the bread to pass out in their hands. Do you understand what I'm saying? If God gave me the challenge to meet, God will give me the resource to meet it. Somebody say I've got resource. I dare you to shout that again. I've got resource. Even if your bank account number says a different story, say I've got resource. Even if your car is in the shop, say I've got resource. I've got resources. Resource. Because number two shout this. I've got relationship. Now anytime you have relationship with somebody who has resource, you have resource. Anytime you have relationship with somebody who is the source, you don't have to worry about the bread you forgot or the mistake you made or the wrong turn you took or the stall out you've encountered or the wisdom you lack. If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask to God who gives to all men liberally and upbraideth not I've got it. I don't feel it, but I have it. I can't prove it, but I have it. You can't see it, but I have it. I'm not wearing it yet, but I have it. I don't even feel it, but I've got it. And I'm practicing for where God is taking me because he's not done with me yet. I felt a little outline starting to form there. I have resource. I have relationship. Do you know what David did for his son Solomon when he was called.

[Steven Furtick]

To build the temple in 1 Chronicles 29?

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

He got all the people together. The great King David. David got up in front of all the people and said, my son is going to build a house for the Lord. It's going to be magnificent because God is. It's going to be great because God is. It's going to be spectacular because God is. It's going to be made of the best stuff because God is.

[Steven Furtick]

Watch what he said. He said, my son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen is young and inexperienced and not ready. The task is great because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God. With all my resources, I'm going to just preach this like I feel it. I saw a weird connection in the text. I did not expect this connection. But he said, with all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God. Gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood. So he's saying, I'm going to give my son something to work with. It's going to be gold for the gold work Silver for the silver work, bronze for the bronze work, iron for the iron work, and wood for the woodwork, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble. All of these in large quantities. He said, I'm going to give you everything you need to build because I know you don't feel ready yet. You will have to work with it and you will have to form it and you will have to develop it. I hear the Lord saying to somebody, build with it. Build with. Build with it. Stop saying, I'm not ready. Stop saying I don't have it and build with it. You have resource because you have relationships. David said, I have given it to my son. How much more will your Father in heaven not give you? Everything you need for the season you're in.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Somebody receive that word right now online. Repeat after me, I have everything I.

[Steven Furtick]

Need for the season I'm in. Tell your neighbor you have everything you need for the season you're in.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Tell them you have resource. Tell them you have relationship. Somebody say, I have resource.

[Steven Furtick]

I've got relationship.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

I've got rocks.

[Steven Furtick]

David said, I have stored up for my son, Solomon, everything he needs to.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Build what God has called him to build. One of the things he mentioned at.

[Steven Furtick]

The very end was precious stones or rocks.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Now, if you remember anything about David, you know that a significant season of his life involved a rock. It wasn't precious stones. It was just a rock. As a matter of fact, I want to call Graham up to the stage right now. Give this boy a microphone. I did not prepare him for this, but give this boy a microphone in his hand. I didn't talk to him about this, but he's ready. Graham, take them all the way up to 1 Samuel 16 and tell them in 30 seconds the background of 1 Samuel 16. Even though you weren't prepared to do this, I did not tell you to wear a spirit sweater over a collared shirt. Watch God. I did not tell you to wear your best fit you have worn in your entire teenage life looking like a high school senior chosen by God. I just called you up here and I gave you an assignment. Give us quickly the background of the man David from 1 Samuel 16 all the way up until he met goliath. Please, in 30 seconds, go first, Samuel 16.

[Graham (Youth Speaker)]

We got David, and he's just a shepherd boy. He's out in the field. His brothers are out working in the military, and he's out there in the field taking care of the sheep. But one day this dude named what's his name? The prophet came. He pulled up. He was like, yo, Samuel pulled up. He was like, yo, God wants a king. It's gonna be one of y'.

[Steven Furtick]

All.

[Graham (Youth Speaker)]

They line them up. It was none of the older brothers. They're like, we got that older. We got the younger brother, David. David pulled up. He was like, yo, you're gonna be the king. David came. David was the king, but he had to go back out to the field. So he's a king. He's in the field. He's got oil, but he's in the field. And then one day, one day, one day, this giant named Goliath pulled up to the front lines of the military, and he was taunting them. He was saying, where's your God? You guys are weak. What the heck? Send one someone, come 1v1 me. We're gonna run it. If you win, then your God's real. Whatever. They're like, I don't know who it's gonna be. But then David, his dad told him, yo, go deliver these cheese pizzas to your brothers. They're in the military. They need the cheese pizzas. So David, with a good attitude, he woke up early and he ran to his brothers in the field. And he pulled up and he saw the. The giant standing on the front lines. And he was like, who is this guy to be taunting and making fun of my God? And why are you guys standing back there and not doing anything about it? His brothers got mad at him. They were like, bro, who are you pulling up?

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Which brings me to 1 Samuel 17:33. David said, I'll kill him. Saul replied, you are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him. You are only a young man. And he has been a war warrior from his youth. So Saul said, you're not ready for Goliath. David said, no, Goliath isn't ready for me. But David said to Saul, you, servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I was practicing. I went after it, I struck it. I've been practicing, I've been working, I've been praying, I've been praising, I've been studying, I've been seeking, I've been on my spot, I've been on my post. I've been in my bag. I've been in my field, I've been in my anointing, I've been in my role. I've been doing that. Give me the verse. I went after it, I struck it. And I rescued the sheep from its mouth. And when it turned on me, I seized it by its hair and I struck it and I killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine, this fear, this insecurity, this. This addiction, this generational curse, this storm, this Philistine will be like one of them because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord, who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine. I've been practicing. Saul said to David, go, and the Lord be with you. David said, that's right. I'm more ready than you recognize because I look like a shepherd, but I'm really a king. I look like a boy, but I'm really a bad man. I'm a bad dude. Next verse. Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. And David fastened his sword over the tunic and tried walking around because he was not used to them. I cannot go in these, he said to Saul, because I'm not used to them. So he took them off. Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones.

[Steven Furtick]

From the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd bag, and with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistines. The only thing wrong with David is he was wasteful. Four of those stones were unnecessary. So what I'm trying to say to you today in a way that maybe you can apply to your life, is you have a rock, and you're more ready than you recognize. I would not have called him up here if I were not confident he could do it. The calling proves my confidence. God would not call you to do it if he was not confident that you could.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Why am I confident he can do it? Because he has been practicing this sermon because he was going to preach it this Sunday night to his Bible study, but it's going to get canceled because of the storm. But God knew before the storm was announced on the Weather Channel that I would need an illustration in this sermon moment. So God gave him the Word to bring into this situation for your life today so I could let you know you've got a rock. What did Jesus say? Everyone who hears these words of mine is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. I got a rock. When the wind blows, I have a rock. When the rain comes, I have a rock. When the flood rises, I have a rock. When the Doctor says I won't live. I have a rock with a learning disability. I have a rock when they fire me. I have a rock when the storm comes. Because I have a God who is not only above my storm, but he is the crown beneath my feet.

[Steven Furtick]

On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking. How you been building your house? You're good. You preached better than me. Get off the stage. It's making me intimidated. He was ready. He was ready. And so are you. So are you. You're more ready than you realize. You're more ready than you recognize. You're more ready than you feel like you are. Have you been building your house on the sand of situations and circumstances? Have you been running around, oh, the devil is attacking me, trying to do warfare where it's really just weather. This is not some proof that you're not in the will of God. It's just proof you are on planet Earth. It's weather. I have a lot of our staff in the room and I wanted to share this because we are coming to our 20 year anniversary. Many times in the work of the ministry, I've heard people complain and say, wow, ministry is just so draining. And it can be. But do you know what else can be? Adulthood. Don't blame it on the Lord Jesus Christ, your savior. That is draining. Do you know what else can be draining? Being a schoolteacher. You know what else can be draining? Being unemployed. You know what else can be draining? Wishing your job did make a difference, but you feel like it didn't. I always say, let's not complain about what God gave us. For 20 years, I've seen time and time again that whatever winds blew against this ministry, whatever storm came, whether it was an attack from the enemy or whether it was just weather, God uses these moments in your life to reveal. That's what I want you to realize about the house that was built on the rock. It wasn't ruined. Its foundation was revealed. Here's what I learned about building my life on the rock of Jesus Christ. I learned that things will come and I won't feel ready. Things will come that I didn't pray for. Things will come that I would not wish for. That's the wind. It will challenge the word that I believe. Jesus said, everyone who hears these words of mine puts them into practice. Be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Rains came, winds rose, streams blew. Gate against the house. Streams don't blow, winds do. But you know what I'm trying to say. All that happened all at once. Now think about that. That's three separate things happening at once that you have to deal with and only one rock you have to stand on to get through.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

So what happens?

[Steven Furtick]

Please remember this for the rest of your life. Maybe God just sent a snowstorm. So I would be led to this passage about storms to remind you that you're ready. To remind you that the house was built before the storm came. God put you there before the storm came. They won't leave you now. But the second thing I've learned that God does in my life is that the Lord reveals his truth and the storm reveals my trust. The Lord reveals the truth. He's your provider. The Lord reveals His truth. He's your healer. The Lord reveals His truth. He is your righteousness. The Lord reveals His truth. He is more than enough for you. The Lord reveals his truth. He is holy. The Lord reveals His truth. He's worth living for. He is the treasure in the field. He is the bright and morning star. He is. He reveals the truth and then the storm reveals your trust. Some of the things we have been going through were not attacks from the enemy to destroy us. They were storms the Lord allowed to show us what we're building on. The important thing about a storm is not that you figure out who sent it. It's that you decide what you're going to stand on in the middle of it. Because God knows you could spend the rest of your life beating yourself up over decisions you could have made differently and things maybe you could do differently. But you have a rock. The house didn't stand because the walls were painted the right color. The house didn't stand because the countertops were picked out perfectly. The house did not stand even because of the plumbing. The house did not stand because of anything that you could say. See, it stood because of something you could not see. The rock it was built on. I want this church. I want my life. I want your life to be built on a solid rock so you can know I'm ready for whatever comes to know. I have resource and I have relationship because I've got a rock. You're ready for this. Everyone standing who's physically present and everyone bow your head in prayer. Who's watching online? Doesn't God deserve just a few moments of your unbroken focus? Haven't you paid enough attention to the wind? Isn't it time for you to give attention to the word? You've heard the word of the Lord today and everybody got something different out of it. Some people just simply heard, hey, for that giant that's in my life, I have a rock to take him down. I don't need more experience. God gave me what I need. Maybe that will be your word just to get you to go back in the strength of the Lord. But for some people, the word was saying something much deeper. It was saying, hey, dude, you are building on stuff that is not stable. You are building on stuff that will not withstand the storm. But it's not too late for you. I'm going to tell you how I know that. One of the disciples Jesus was training was named Peter. One time Jesus asked the disciples, who do you say that I am? And Peter said, you are the Christ, the son of the living God. Jesus said, blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to you, but by my Father in heaven. Jesus said, I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church. And the gates of Hades, of hell, the storms of life will not overcome it. He said that to Peter, knowing that Peter would go on to deny him at the fire on the eve of his crucifixion. But see, Jesus knew that sometimes the best place to build from is rock bottom. I told the Lord, I'm not ready to preach yet. He said, you're more ready than you realize. You've been telling the Lord, I can't handle this. I'm not ready for this. I can't do it. He said, I wouldn't have called you if I wasn't confident you could. Not only this, he said, I wouldn't have called you if I wasn't going to do it. When with you, bow your head and close your eyes. The Lord is in this place. Father, I thank you for the word you have given today. It is greater than the wind that blows the streams that rise or the rains that fall. It is greater than our emotions, our fears and our failures. You are our rock now. Lord, I commit to your hands the ministry of this word. For those today, God, who needed to hear a message because they are in a secret storm, can't tell anybody about it, can't point to a pattern on a map, can't even really sometimes describe the effects of it. Don't even really know where it's coming from or when it's going to end, I wanted you to remind them today that they have a rock. That after all you've done for them, after all they have survived, the reason they're here today is because they have a rock. That rock cannot be moved. That rock cannot Be altered. That rock is you, God. Today in your presence, I want to commit each person who maybe in this season of their life has been hearing the taunt. You're not ready for this. I pray that they would reach into their life and grab something out of their bag. You've given and trust in the one who put them in the position to begin with. Now, God in agreement with the great hymn writer who said my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood in righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus name When darkness seems to hide his.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Face I rest on his unchanging grace in every high and stormy gale My.

[Steven Furtick]

Anchor holds within the veil when he.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Shall come with trumpets sound O may I then in him be found Dressed in His righteousness alone faultless to stand.

[Steven Furtick]

Before the throne On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand. If you know it, sing it on Christ the sun. Everything else will let you down Everything else will let you go But Jesus never will. Right now there's somebody hearing this message who knows needs to give your life to Jesus. I'm telling you storms are going to come. I'm telling you winds are going to hit. I'm telling you that the Savior is greater than all of those things and he is able to keep you from falling and present you faultless before the presence of his glory. But you have to trust Him. Maybe God allowed a storm in your life so you could see that he needs to be your firm foundation. Right now I want to pray with you. Every single person who's watching this online who has an appointment today to receive the grace of Jesus Christ for the salvation of your soul. I want you to repeat this prayer after me. The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is by grace that you are saved through faith. It is the gift of God, not of works. So that it no one can boast. You come to Jesus like you are. You build your life on his love. You build your life on what he did for you on Calvary. You build it on his acceptance of you. You do it now before it's too late. You do it now before your house falls down. You do it now while the blood is still running warm in your veins. You do it now while there's still breath in your lungs. You do it now. He is here now. Today is your day of salvation. Repeat after me out loud. Everybody in the church. Heavenly Father, I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Today I make Jesus the Lord of my life. I believe he died that I would be forgiven and rose again to give me life. I receive this new life. This is my new beginning. I am a child of God. If you just prayed that on the count of three, shoot your hand up in the air. One.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Two, three. Put it in the comments right now. Just say I'm receiving Jesus. Just say that in the comments right now. Come on, just type it in right now. We're here to pray for you. I'm receiving Jesus. The best decision you'll ever make.

[Steven Furtick]

You will have an anchor in the storm and you will have a help in the time of trouble. And you will be able to confidently say I've got a rock. Would you just high five 20 people all around you and say I got a rock, I got a rock I.

[Elevation Church Worship Leader / Assistant]

Got a rock I got a rock can't be shaken, can't be moved I got a rock, I got a rock I got a rock this is the rock that Moses drank from I got a rock, I got a rock this is the rock that brought water in the wilderness I got a rock this is a rock in a dry and weary land I got a rock this is a rock that I can stand on in the storm I got a rock this is a rock I can sling at a giant and take his sword I got a rock I got a rock when the storm comes I got a rock when the stone I got a rock.
