Managing The Pressure To Measure Up | Pastor Steven Furtick 

Don't quit serving guys, we don't do what we do for man but to glorify God.

When I pray in front of people I sometimes stutter and buffer and that makes me feel like I did a bad prayer, worst if no one shouts 'amen' to my sentences. This lesson made me realise that once I pray about what God has placed in my mind no matter how it comes out, God sees it and rewards me accordingly.

I don't need any human measurement. I need GOD in my life. AMEN

Our measurements are always limited. But God is perfect! Help me to see me through Your eyes Father

Father God, thank you for this profoundly significant message this servant needed to hear. I'm not perfect, but you already know that, your mercy, grace and love always humbles me to my knees. I firmly believe in your devine timing and your guidance in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏🏻

This was exactly what I needed right now . God is using pastor Steven so much. Love from India.

This was a Great reminder. We can sometimes forget we do things onto God. People can really break your spirit, however if you know who you're serving this is expected.

Finding this channel has changed my life. To God be the glory 🙏🏾🙌🏾

👏👏👏👏 Great and Mighty God we serve! Thank YOU Jesus Christ for YOUR powerful WORD. Hallelujah!!!!! Keep preaching Pastor Steven.

You always hit me to the tee everything happens for a reason Thank the lord amen #godslove

This message is for me because I was so disappointed for something and I made a decision to stop serving and just do my things. You just remind me I am there not for them I am here for God. So thank you so much Pastor. I will continue to serve with all my heart for my God. God bless youu

Posted on my bday❤️😂🙏 yes God God is so good. It felt like I was being preached to by Jesus in this one. God sees me and hears me and shows up for me and that isn’t the consolation prize. He is the prize! The greatest one of them all that He is a God who sees me. He is a God that makes me better and new and watches me serve even if I feel unnoticed or unimportant He sees me caring. He works out the emotions in me!

You did it for God!🙌

Praying for everyone and everything y’all keep me in your prayers and I’ll do the same have a blessed day! Amen thank you Jesus 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you for another amazing message Pastor Steven. You always preach about things that are going on in my life, God speaks to me through these

Your reason is linked to your reward.

I needed that today. I needed that to help quell my anxiety. Thank you Lord, for I know that was you. And thank you Steven Furtick, keep on preaching the word of God.

Society is constantly trying to put pressure on us but we must simply do the best we can and be satisfied with that instead of comparing ourselves to others.

Amen!!! God measures the heart! He rewards what is done in secret!!!🙌🏾❤️

Year 2021. I needed this encouragement today, it moved me more than you’ll ever know. Thank you💜💜

The measuring stick is broken! Hallelujah

We Bless you all In Jesus name All Glory and honor to God

Success is relative. Amen

This is an amazing Sermon Pastor Steven, very meaningful to me , and I can think of so many others who feel that nothing they do matters or is valuable to anyone, but God knows, praise God, He knows!

Your sermons help me get through a lot. Thank you

Wow. This just cleared the blockage I had. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you

This comment if for anyone trying to learn something about regret, if u do something and then regret it later on, I'll tell you that your not the same person you were, when you did the thing that you now regretted, it's like a fail-safe that God has implanted into your soul to always preserve your emotional and spiritual existence, if u regret something then your a totally different person now , just with memories of a time that u regret and memories can easily be wiped away clean, ask God he'll show you just give it time. Also the body isn't made to last forever, people die but their souls live on. Ps. Your body is a physical thing ,When you think it's not a physical thing, your personality isn't a physical thing, your desires can manifest physically but they all come from your emotions and thats you, your emotions are you, your emotions are your soul , your soul is you, so that means you live on forever, easy way to look at it is your a soul controlling a body, you just need a body that can last forever. All this info came from God btw, he wants to hear from you, he wants to explain to you how he'll completely eradicate all your regrets so you live happily, go on ask him ,

Light. Lamb of God

Amen to that. Was just telling this to a group of people a few days ago. Confirmation

Love this sermon... it’s amazingly beautiful 🙏

Thank you! And we prophets say YES! God knows what we do, how we prophesy, without anyone knowing...

💬Shhhhh Pastor, it's a secret. LoL. Just playing. 😀 Yes, thank you for teaching me the sermon about human measurement, God's scale and our heart's 💖 true weight and with that is God's success/reward for us individually. Amen! 😇 I love you my neighbor/ brother, and everyone else as well. God Bless you all !!!!! Ps. Please have a Wonderful day! Thanks again, Candace (Your God loving and grateful mother, wife, daughter & RN in Georgia)

Praise the Lord ... Hallelujah....

Amen ♥️ I needed this

Lord, give me a heart like Thine.

It's okay for people to see your good works as long as them seeing isn't the reason y ur doing it. Seeing others do good is contagious. Think for yourselves #ToxicMasculinity #God knows your heart

This is a GOOD message!

So i just came here cuz this 1 female youtuber named karlee steele she said u helped her by her watching n listening to u so here iam ready 2 listen 🙏🙏🙏💜

God bless you and your family

Human measurement limits us and gets us in trouble. It should not be about seeing things from thickness, height, breadth and width perspective but about what they are made of.

Powerful! Hallelujah 💖

Ty so much for this Pastor....God was definitely telling me something this morning... PRAISE GOD 🙌🙋🙏💖

Thank you for this one Brother. I sure needed it.

Break the power of the stick, y’all!

amen!

AMEN

Its like you are talking to me!!

Amen

1-2-3 Amen! ❤🙏

So powerful! Where can I watch the full sermon of Inside Elevation?

AMEN 🙌🏼🙏🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏

This will be my last message for at least a few days and head and nose both have issues but if i do what one of them keeps saying to me and if i do that it would be impossible to do what I'm called to do I have other issues that would include bars iron and I can't see that happening again and I have no option but I do have my father so thank you for doing all you thus far and you continue do just that there's been a few inspiring pastors I've been blessed to have sat through there sermons but you are and I've said before you are the anointed one

Amen!! No matter how big or small, this lesson has reminded me that not bringing my measuring cup to my blessing is one of the first thing to set me free🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I needed this. I make videos of prophetic dreams God gives me and things He teaches me and I'm not sure if I even have 100 subscribers. Yesterday I felt so inadequate and thought, "Why does it even matter if I do this or not?" But God keeps leading me. I teared up listening to Steven talk about the carving of 400 pomegranates. Yesterday was my 111th video. 😂 I have a ways to go before I hit 400, but I will keep at it even if only God sees them. ❤

Good morning I'm in arkansas

I don't need that!

C’mon Sir!

For anyone who is struggling with life. I wanted to kill myself last year. It felt like I had demons in my brain manipulating my mind. I couldnt think clearly. I couldnt choose my thoughts they were being put into me. Everyday it got worse. I barely ate, barely slept, I was dying. My brain hurt, I was constantly getting light headed. The world didn't look the same anymore. It didnt matter how anything looked even if it was beautful, everything looked like hell but I didnt want it to. I wanted to help people, I always have but there was a constant opposition that wasnt coming from me, I couldn't fix my mind. I was afraid to trust God but I knew if I listened everything would be okay. I failed two semesters of college because of this. One of the few friends I had died and because of this problem I couldnt be the brother he always was to me while he was alive. Then my nephew got a really bad sickness. If he would have died I would have died. At the time I felt like I failed alot of people, because I did and I felt like I had failed him, I didn't feel like I deserved to live. It didnt feel right. I tried to fix my mind so I could do better in this life but it only got worse. God healed my nephew from a disease that should have killed him. Real authentic bible following Christians prayed in the name of Jesus and my nephew was healed. Even the doctor asked us if we believed in God because he said my nephew was alive by some miracle. I didnt kill myself because my nephew survived. I kept going but my mind was still messed up. I kept letting people down. Eventually I got fed up with myself. I got to the point that I didn't care what happened to me. I disregarded myself completely for the sake of others. Even though my mind was absolute hell I read the bible, I prayed and trusted God. The more time I spent with God the less, worry, hate, anger and paranoid I got. I learned to love people that I had no reason to love. I dont want to hurt people. The only reason I still do mma is for my coach that got killed. The last thing he told me before he died was that he couldnt wait to see me in mma, I feel like I have to fight, I know he didn't die for nothing, it wont be for nothing. Eventually my mind was free from all that hell, it took awhile only because I had a real hard time trusting in God but once I just let go and trusted God no matter what I became free from all that mental hell. I have mental clarity now. I have peace, I can breathe. I know alot of things in life dont make sense sometimes but I promise you there is life in Jesus. All of you matter. Dont listen to anyone who tells you that you dont. You are more than significant. theres a guy named dan mohler on youtube that explains the gosple of Christ very well, Look up Dan Mohler- what is our purpose

I don't think that Revelation 21:17 & 18 paints a contrasting picture, as much as it paints a whole picture (a big picture). By the nature of our very existence, whatever we build (metaphorically or practically) is going to have measurement (count, height, depth, weight, etc) -as creatures, we can't escape that (notice that the measurement is that of humans and angels both). Having said that, building something 144 cubits thick out of hay and straw (i.e. selfish motives, self aggrandizement, etc) is very different than building it out of gold and jasper. The important thing (and what Furtick was getting at the whole time) is that what matters in the end is what materials we are building out of -because it's all going to be tested with fire in the end (see 1 Cor 3:12-15).

Can I have my money back?

Amen

Amen
