The Lazarus Factor (God Of The Outcome) | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church 

I watched this sermon throughout medical school when I was unsure if I would even be able to complete it and after years of constantly watching this sermon, God now brought me back to it and proud to say I’m a doctor! Thank you Pastor Steven and the team for all you do!! 🙏

"God's love language is Trust."

Even Now HE is sovereign, working and showing up. Even now HE is the resurrection and the Life. He is the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Yes I believe ❤

My understanding of who YOU ARE doesn't change. YOU ARE LORD!

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” (Job 13:15)

Pastor Steven - This sermon “The Lazarus Factor” needs to become a book! I love all your sermons but watching this broke me wide open and I sobbed and really felt all the things I’ve buried, avoided and numbed. I could finally see that God allowed me to go through all of it BECAUSE He loves me and wanted me to get to the point of complete surrender so I would finally step aside and stop trying to make things happen and let Him raise my career from the dead. I have been bottling up that cry for decades and I can’t tell you how brutal and beautiful it was to release it all and to know that God was right there with me- not only in that moment- but through every struggle along the way. I’m sure you get millions of these kinds of messages but I pray that this one actually gets to you and you read it and know that God is well pleased with His messenger for getting through to a stubborn nut like me and cracking me wide open!!!! Well done faithful servant!!! Preach!!!

Jesus is the Lord

"Even though You didn't do what I ask you to do, You are still who You say You are"

"You didn't do what I wanted You to do, but that didn't changed my understanding of who You are" Amen!

In this Lazarus season of my life, God will make a way, the restoration of my marriage and family is coming in his perfect timing hallelujah and amen

Forgive me for all my horrible sins I want to change

Pastor Futrick, every time I listen to your word, you Amaze me. Thank you for being obedient to the Spirit of God!

I didn’t even know i needed this, I didn’t know I buried things and was in the process of burying it. Literally crying in a parking lot without a clue, All I know is this message touched me on a unknown personal level that I didn’t know I needed. Thank you Pastor Steven, For dedicating your life over to be used as a vessel for salvation. I’m forever grateful.

The key word is SO - He is putting you through this waiting period because He loves you! He will show up at the right time and place and there will be breakthrough in Jesus name. AMEN💛

I read the next chapter. Hallelujah I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. ❤

But I know that even NOW. Even now God will give you whatever you ask. Because I am the resurrection not because of what I do, but who I AM. Waw hallelujah Yes Lord.

Best sermon I've heard from you pastor Steven it finally clicked I invited God to my buried tomb and I feel peace God is with me in those places

Ume .... Never will I leave u nor forsake me! In the name of Jesus ... He heard us the first time. He weeps with us .. Amen

Hallelujah even though you didn't YOU ARE. Even now I believe YOU ARE. Even in the absence of the thing she wanted she believed.

And Jesus was late in human time. But Jesus was on time. He is never late. He was on time in God's time.

I love this church and Steven. I love that he is so real, so genuine, so relatable. No cliches. No stereotypical, mundane, arbitrary pastor nonsense. Straight up, real life relationship with God and other people. Steven. Much love from central Florida. I watch your videos because I enjoy and connect with your services more than any other pastor I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for what you and your church does.

I am literally in a "Lazarus" situation right now, I have sent so many texts to Jesus but it feels like he left me on read, I don't know how I will get out of this situation, this disease, I don't know the outcome of this season, it is frustrating, it seems hopeless (all these well-wishes, all the "cliche dialogues"), but I know this, my God is the God of outcomes and I believe him and I give praise to him anyway. Amen. 💖

I need to hear this today, its been 4 years since, my mom's passed. Healing from hurt. I'm grateful to God for my beautiful blessings, I do cry often, missing her. Thanks for Pastor Steve for teaching God plans for me.

HE is going to show the demonstration of His power in a way that I have never seen it before.

On September 15, 2019 my one and only son , Antonio Ryan died unexpected at age 17. This literally turned my world inside out. I saw this sermon today from pastor Furtick and this is exactly what i needed to hear. I got an immediate sense of relief.

Many tears were shed during this message. Being honest with God is a real place and is scary to come to. But I know God’s glory will come through me being real with God. Thank you so much for this message!

our father thank you for your forgiveness and mercy lord strengthen me in my addiction and for give me for I am a sinner in Jesus name bring love and peace through out our nations all praise and glory too the e heavenly father in Jesus name I pray amen

Good morning let's go to work in the morning in the name of Jesus 🙏 thank you Jesus for another day Lord I Michael ask for your presence and protection 🙏

"THE HARVEST REPRESENTS THE RESULT THE SEED REPRESENTS THE PROCESS" -PASTOR SF

He is first Empathetic before He exercises Authority. He is with me even before He does it for me. Hallelujah!!! Exalting God from Nairobi, Kenya.

My all time favorite sermon

I've watched this service over 15 times since it was originally preached. In the last 3 years, every single day watching multiple services from Elevation, I have now seen all that are available, multiple times, I have learned so much about the Bible, about the word of God, but THIS TEACHING, The Lazarus Factor, has continued to be my FAVORITE story in the Bible. Here I am, watching it yet another time. This teaching touched my soul, to the very core of me. The story about Lazarus, Martha and Mary, is a story that every single person alive can relate to, we can all apply this to our life no matter where we find ourselves, WE ALL HAVE A LAZARUS, we have all been upset with God, we have all been disappointed and felt like God abandoned us or is ignoring our prayers, but like Martha and Mary, we will see that our Heavenly Father was there the whole time and when its time, hes gonna move in a way that we will never doubt him again!! Praise God

Not even 15 minutes in and I'm already so upset. I'm feeling every word of this message already! God please speak to me! Please show up. Don't leave me hanging.

Faith is a patience with mystery! We all have a Lazarus!!

Joy, peace purpose and focus. God's glory ❤ hallelujah

HE is the God of the harvest-the outcome👏👏👏

God’s love language is Trust ...... powerful i’m blessed

"Take your mask off" - YES preacher! This is why I love your sermons!! They are REAL🙌🏽

Ohhh yes Lord. Let your strength kick in with a greater velocity father.

I still come back and watch this, anytime I am down...and every time I feel God speaking to my faith... this sermon is my all best from you, pastor @Steven Furtick. Thank you for allowing God to use you to bless me and increase my faith 🙏

I needed this a lot. I hope everyone has a great week

I’m 13 minutes in and I’m sobbing like a baby. I needed this message so badly and I didn’t even recognise how much. Thank you Pastor Steven for obeying the Holy Spirit.

This is my season with marriage; still praying

Livermore CA Colleen ❤ Elevation Church! Bucket List to be there in person!🤗🙏🏻🥰

I cried the entire sermon😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Show Yourself, Lord🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾

The thing is how to hold up all your dissappointment and still believe that Jesus is Lord. Sometimes it sucks up your life but I thank God for the Holy Spirit who keeps reminding all of us about the the deep love of God. Amen

Amen, I pray for a faith like Martha, and honesty like Mary.

Dont let your Lazarus convince u that HE did not love u ,,,, great sermon

I have heard A LOT of messages by Pastor Steven. This one I walked away saying Christ is FAITHFUL!

After watching the fifteen minute clip I had to come watch the whole sermon. Thank you Holy Spirit. Thank you God for Pastor Furtik. Thank you God for this message...right on time. Frustrated praises up!

I THANK GOD (most) DAYS FOR YA’ll !!! Thank-U Lord iN Jesus name A-meN !!!!

This sermon is in my top for sure great word great word🎉🎉🎉

SERMON NOTES: John 11:1 God's love language is Trust and he equates love with trust Faith is a patience of mystery. Praise God not only for what he does, but for who He is If you look at your circumstances for God's love, you're looking in the wrong places Never put a Period where God puts parenthesis How you process disappointment will determine whether fear/faith propels you "Even if He doesn't He is" He is with us in the pain of disappointment It was the situation that gave the opportunity for the revelation.

Life changing message! Thanks for uploading it so early in the week! My dad committed suicide recently, my husband has both parents in the hospital, he is handling everything for them plus I am recovering from serious life threatening metal toxicity that I almost died from from an orthopedic implant and I could not walk for almost 4 years learning to walk now. It will take time! So much more is going on but this message is for us! He missed it yesterday he was at the hospital all day yesterday! Thanks again for uploading!

You said my name, Rachel. Thank you Lord for speaking through the pastor to me. My husband Jeremy and our marriage is my Lazarus.

Pastor Steven the one u love is in need of you she cooks she cleans she creates she do it all she listens she loves CHRIST more than anything!

I wrote a sermon to share with the congregation tomorrow night on Lazarus in preparation for Easter. I wanted to listen to several sermons to just continue to immerse myself in what I will be preaching. I found myself in tears multiple times throughout this message. Thank you!

A funeral is going on in my heart but even now Lord you are sovereign 💗💗💗💗 He is a friend that sticketh closer!! The brutally honest preaching!!

I just watched this sermon again, it's probably the 50th time, and im sobbing just like I did the first time I heard it. This is the most powerful message you have ever preached Pastor Furtick. I know that God chose you and only you to deliver this one because you delivered it in a way that only you could do, a way that touched every single one of us to the very core of our hearts and souls. I will never stop watching this service because everytime life throws me a curve ball that I didn't see coming, one that leaves me wondering if God is really with me, if he really knows what is happening in my life, I return to this very message and it all makes sense again. It always gives me the strength to keep pushing forward, to keep praising God, and to just keep waiting to see what it is that my heavenly father is trying to call forth in my life. Thank you for this message Pastor Furtick, this one is a lifeline for me...

Lord bless us all with your strength peace and joy through the day in Jesus name amen hallelujah hallelujah glory to God 🙏

John 11- we all have a situation that we felt like God did not come through. I have one right now, praying that my 18 year old son will come back to loving the Lord, serving the Lord and living a life for God like he used to. But after the death of my dad, he has been angry with God. But I know God can bring my son (Elijah) back from the dead. My faith has to remember the so, then, and now of God's timing.

The verse that I will remember is John 11:35, Jesus wept. I remember when my little sister died, she was murdered, our older sister said to me that her death was for God's glory. At the time I truly didn't understand and still didn't until now, 4 years 38 days later..Thank you Lord and Pastor Steven for this message today! BTW, I put on a green post it " God's love language is Trust", and ours should be "Faith". Amen!!

I've watched this sermon so many times.🙏🏾In 2021 we pray for the Lazarus effect Lord 🙌🏾. A supernatural miraculous turnaround in the Lord. Let's focus on you not the storm God. Amen🙏🏾

Trusting the ENTIRE PROCESSES🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm living in South Africa and I really like your preaching

I'm on listen number three and I'm just going to keep playing it and listening and praying until a shift happens because I know it's gotta happen. #theplacenoonesees

One of my favorite verses Jesus wept. It may seem as if God isn't moving in my life right now an I may feel a banded by people that I had thought would be in my life to help me in my struggles. I may feel alone in my faith an even get discourage in my decisions. But I know this is all for a reason. Even though I may not feel his presence. Give Glory to his name cause he is near.

I never get tired of this message, this message its enough. Thank you pastor

Thank you Pastor Steven for being real!! More Pastors need to be real about who God is...I have experienced Jesus so differently this last year since I took the mask off and I got real with Him!! Thank you for being a faithful servant of His Word!

Love your honesty. This is why I watch your sermons. The realness you bring

A story of a *Savior * name. *Jesus* *Christ *

Never got tired of this msg it heals the soul

This is the word that I needed. I've had a horrible time this year, in terms of my academics and it just made me doubt whether I was going to be able to fulfil this dream that God had placed in me. I think after this sermon I realised that this dream (my Lazarus) had died and today, it has just come back to life. I don't know how, but I know the God that I serve, that he will do what he needs to when he needs to do it. This has happened so that His glory will be revealed. I want to trust in you God fully, I pray that you may show me how. "... I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" - Mark 9:24. Trust in God guys, and me. We don't know how, but trust that he will do what he promised. See yourself (myself) in the end with that thing (dream fulfilled, worshipping God again, God's will being done in your life.) 😌 Thank you pastor.

“Don’t praise him for what he does but who he is” Wow!!.. I got chills

If there is one thing I am grateful for today would be that I came across this channel and got to hear the voice of God through Pastor Steven Furtick.Thank you so much Jesus for touching my heart and reminding me that you are God Of the Outcome. Thank you for the Lazarus Factor Jesus. I can't explain how much I am Blessed today, and so true that the situation gave the opportunity for revelation. The sickness didn't end in death, but for the glory of God Jesus is weeping with us. Amen Amen Amen.

God is truly with this man and the subtle details he picks out of scripture and what he does with them is incredible and surely inspired by the Higher Realm of God's wisdom.Jesus bless all of Your creation today 🙏

I wept when I heard Pastor Steven said “Jesus weep”.

God listens and delays what we ask. He already knows what we want, what's in our hearts.

Give him an angry praise. Those were rhema words for me and all going through an impossible situation. Let us all remember that our faithful God makes impossible possible only if we believe.Lets believe first and we will surely receive our miracle. Amen!

October1st2020 in my notebook i wrote this: i miss Pastor Steven Furtick he is amazing & awesome when i watch his sermons; everyday is a good day, smooth day, not sad or frustrated, i had no problems, but, i learned so much & grew with him, up until this moment I AM WITH HIM STILL," i wanted to share not for him to know or see but for the empty brain & hearts that refuse to accept the good in us in GOD in ability in capacity of who HE EMPOWERS US TO BE TO ACHEIVE when we go out of our way to help people in need to be kind... that we should be in a state of knowing we are safe it is okay to have fun to believe to be safe to speak to feel without restrictions or suppressing... a lot to learn wen love is there we are forced on competing on being stiff in emotions so we can get a house or money or buy kindness or a smile or sadly deeply a small peice of bread an illusion of freedom!

I love this message. I can listen to it everyday

God works in you as much as you want him to. Let's surrender everything withholding nothing back . Thank you elevation and God bless you ... All the way from Rwanda we loooovee you so much.

This Message saved my life. You may never see this, but Thank You. God Bless

This sermon saved my life

Going through a lot , seven years of stagnation I pray God have mercy on me and remember me Please put me in your prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Recently I feel so drained and sad so much 😔😔

I feel like this particular sermon was customized for me, i lost my Dad to a stroke , 3weeks , after endless prayers and unprecedented faith, God decided to take Him, my faith was fatally injured, haven’t got the energy since His death , because I kinda felt like my prayers and faith were not approved by God, until i heard this sermon on Spotify, came to a conclusion that He’s not God only when things go our way but also when they don’t. If you can read this kindly keep me in your prayers.

Your teachings are always for me. only god know to give you a word an hour after, every single time. Jesus must be back

The best preaching I ever heard from Steve Furtic k

"If you look to the circumstances of your life for the proof of God's love, you are looking for love in all the wrong places."

This has greatly eased my anxiety during this transitional period I’m in. Sometimes God allows situations to not work out the way I want ,because he loves me. I can be sad from the outcome,BUT I know even in my sorrows he will make a way ❤️. Thank you Pastor Steven for always bringing hope through the word of God you share every week.

NOW God is with me in this season

I reverse the curse in Jesus Christ name

Omg 😭😭😭😭😭 that was for me. I've heard lots of sermons but this one is the most profound most beautiful message straight from the heart of God to my life!!! Thank you Ps. Steven. God bless you.

when you just feel its over then such a beautiful message comes through, God has a way of talking to His children,

Hallelujah I worship you Lord🩸❤️🙌🎶👏🔥Yes Lord

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Mark 5:36 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" Mark 9:24

I LOVE how this man is willing to bring healing to the wounded heart! What tender compassion.

I need to be prayed for, I’m trying so hard to come back to Christ. It’s hard, after years of being away, my spirit is finally drawn back to being right with christ. I miss, and want my father in my heart. My soul is terrified because the end times are close, and it knows- I’m not saved, it’s a feeling, which is why I’m here now. Please pray for me, I hope there is time for me to get right with the lord again.

I love you mr furtick thank you so much for lifting me up day by day with your messages from God

I'm sO! FULL IN & WITH THIS MESSAGE I'M JUST CRYING & LAUGHING I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I WANT TO DO NEED TO DO WOW GOD IS SPEAKING GLORY TO GOD HALLELUJAH
