Comment below: How did this message impact the way you view your dreams? ^EC Team
This message impacted the way I view my dreams by allowing me to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made throughout my life (whether I stepped out in foolishness/flesh instead of faith or whether I didn't step out at all due to fear).
I'm GREAT at reminding OTHERS that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD & ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE - yet I have STRUGGLED MY ENTIRE LIFE with TRULY BELIEVING those Scriptures applied to ME and the MYRIAD MISTAKES I've made - until I heard THIS SERMON!!!
As long as I FOLLOW JESUS DREAMS WILL FOLLOW ME!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CHURCH MEMBERS (LOCALLY & EFAM) AND EVERYONE who is able to be BLESSED, STRENGTHENED & RENEWED BY YOUR SERMONS PASTOR STEVEN!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Greatest form of a dream ever. Blessings Pastor from Roanoke Va
U are my inspiration and teacher... Thank u.. Dream on...
Hi...I am writing from India...since I was aged 12 i have been having this dream of being a space scientist...though the dream has evolved itself throughout the years...the passion is still fresh...but even after giving my best and trying hard to reach the same...I failed miserably...it has been a very agonising and depressing season for me right now...but maybe ..I am in the dark room right now...things just don't make sense to me anymore...I m confused...but maybe I should just put it in his hands and wait...and learn from my mistakes and try again...though the fear of uncertainty is still looming over me and I am afraid to trust him again...
It made me take a step back to see if my dream really is from God. Now I'm really confused. I just need to keep focusing on Jesus and let him guide me.
Follow Jesus and your dream will definitely follow you. Great revelation
"I do not follow dreams, I follow Jesus and when I do, dreams follow me"
Amen to that. We have to keep our eyes on the lord, and never lose focus on him and his Glory.
Amen! 🙌🙏💖
Yesyesyes 🙌🏽❣❣
Amen❤
That’s Ridiculous
I’m a 3rd year med student living in South Africa. I had always dreamt of getting into med school but today, before watching this video, I felt stuck and unmotivated. I didn’t recognize this version of my dream. This sermon was my confirmation. It’s not about the position, it’s about the purpose. To serve others. All glory to God and to His servant, thank you Pastor Steven Furtick for the difference you have made in my life today. ❤️
Hey, what did you decide and how are you now?
Hi. How are you now? ❤
Question, I’ve been thinking about going into Pre- Med. I started college but quit because I randomly decided I wanted a business. Now I am thinking otherwise... maybe being a doctor is for me? And then I see this comment which relates to what’s been on my mind, so, how did you know? I think this could be a confirmation but I am not sure.
Don't ever feel unmotivated. Just turn to the lord, and thank him for everything
Im happy for you

OMG, ALL THE GLORY TO YOU MY FATHER!!
I had spent 20 years of my life chasing after and serving my own dream. That journey led me to addiction and ultimately to losing my marriage and beautiful son. I see now that I was chasing after status that whole time, instead of pursuing service. Thank you pastor for that word from God. It's helping me make sense of my life.
Dylan M. God bless you ❤️
Man I went through the exact same thing addiction and all god bless follow your purpose.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing your testimony Dylan
This message speaks to my now. It has re-centered and refocused me. I will pursue God and my dream(s) will pursue me. My dream is not for status, it is for service. Thank you and God Bless you Ps. Steven.
I really think you have missed the point of the sermon. I can explain it to you in simpler terms if you would like, but maybe you should consider some easier content. Its great to see fellow christians invovled on the internet. May you have a blessed week.
Blessings, Eunice
Grandma balducci Thank you for your response and your opinion, but I did not miss the point, I think you misunderstood my comment. Blessings to you.
Wow amen 👏🏽👏🏽💖
Come on church
you weak minded pleb
This reminded me that my priority should be to follow Jesus, and allow my dreams and everything else to come secondary to God's will.
Deidrianna Chippie Amen
I can’t even explain how much of an on time word this was for me. Crying in my car on my way home from work listening to this message because I know God was speaking directly to me. Been praying about this same exact thing for a good while not knowing what to do. Confused and torn.Thinking God was silent and thinking I had to figure this out on my own. Thank you for your obedience Pastor Steven. You just don’t know the impact this one message had on me. I can see so much clearer now. We serve the True and Living God.
Tanisha Coppin
How beautiful. It's always incredible how we hear what we need when we breathe, sit in receptivity-mode, ask humbly for guidance and sit peacefully for the guidance to come in a sermon, a song, a stranger, a book, a synchronistic moment.
Thank you for sharing this.
Warmest hugs and support -
🙏
D'Anna C It truly is amazing 🙏
Lord I trust you, not my dreams not my financial not my stuffs, but I trust you, Lord Jesus I will follow you forever 🙏🙏🙏
Well said
I wear my coat everyday. I am a recovering alcoholic who found hope in the teachings and acceptance at Elevation Church. In the 2 years I've been attending Elevation Ballantyne, this message was the strongest I have ever heard God speak to me. I just started the process of creating my dream this week. In following God's lead, "Anchor of Hope" will be a faith based sober living home(s) for those starting their journey in recovery and relationship with Christ. I grew up wanting to be a pastor, but I let alcohol become my master for over a decade. God's grace saved my life and as I have trusted in Him, he will use my greatest shame for His glory. He left the 99 to save me.
God bless u and me
as an alcoholic
I still need help
thanks for ur story
99 to leave me
hoping he will help me like he helped u
to God be the Glory
great things he has done for u
Dave Martens I’m also an alcoholic trying my best to recover... I found myself coming back to these videos after almost a year of being sober & relapsing. God bless you both & may God heal you ❤️
Do not feed into this t HG erecwas a man a calm quote peaceful man and he showed live and forgiveness and healed and died and rose from the dead and was recieved by the father and he is was and will be
@@policecamsreact does leaving the majority to save one keep in line with the other parts of the word yes it does because we would will do things the world doesn't applaud
@@mandysoward3612
Thank you for ur words
It’s ok to be different, it’s ok to stand out, and may God give us the strength to obey 🙌🏾
AMEN TO THAT MY SISTER! ❤
My biggest takeaway from this message was to trust and rest in God in knowing that he will bring the dream and desire he put in my heart to pass, as well as knowing he has gone before me in getting everything I need ready for me to walk in it.
Ashley Nicole Amen 🙏🏽
Amen sister❤🙌
I just love Pastor Steven, He’s so different and makes me see clearer and better!!!!!!
Him and sarah roberts and john grey

Sana ang Dream pra sken ni Papa ang Masunod pra Makalipad ako ng wlang Pusong Nata2kot while i Am Protected and Safe llo na Heart ko 🙏🏻
I'm in tears. I've been going through so much regarding my call, my dream and God spoke right through to me through this message. Thank you so much. I'll wait on God, I'll seek Jesus and not my dream and I believe my dream will follow me.
Sometimes I think Joseph was given so much love from his mom and dad that at his young age he didn't realize that he was being hurtful. I think he really loved his brothers. It took going through a life Where he didn't feel much love to be able to understand and forgive his brothers in the end. Of course, that only comes through the grace God gives .
This comment so underated wow 👏
Wauw!!! What a message. I hear a lot of things in this message, but the message is is, Don’t follow your dreams, Follow Jesus. Trust the desires Gods Heart has for you. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
My dream is to walk with God through out this journey
Wya gee
Jesus take over and flood this place with your truth and wisdom ❤️
I really appreciate The Pastor’s Communication style. He uses humour to engage our thinking. When he emphasized how everyone’s Dreams are different because we are all different, it made me realize that God uses each and everyone of us for his purpose by placing a specific Dream in our hearts, different from everyone else’s.
It takes courage to be different...I'm going to wear my coat.
It really doesnt take courage. It takes the lords spirit and the ability to allow it into your life. You cannot simply be given things without the lords approval, the lord has given you courage, and we should be thankful for that. Hope you are having a nice Tuesday, if you need any help understanding more of Elevation's content, let me know. I am always happy to enlighten those less able to follow the messages of the bible.
Blessings, Eunice.
@@grandmabalducci842 that sounds kinda like what a pharisee would say. Jesus would speak in the synagogue and the people would hear hope in unique ways, the pharisees only hear blasphemy . I am sorry but you do not know all of the ways God will use people, talk to people, ect. Don't throw shade on his dream grandma!! You are not the standard, Jesus is!
God bless you Adebola, keep your coat on! You are favored of God. These 2 negative comments are just the witness to we can't tell everyone our dream cuz they are hating
@@grandmabalducci842 humble yourself. you will push people away from the word of God if you talk to them like that. The message isnt meant to be taken in one way. God will help us see it in the way we should for our own lives to benefit from it. Maybe this is the message God had for you in this sermon :)
This sermon made me feel like it’s not too late ❤️
Thank you so much Elevation Church.. These sermons are so deep and Life Changing.. I'm glad I found Jesus as my saviour 💓💓..
I'm glad you did too!
amen, I agree
Amazing ....
these “sermons” are gonna send you to hell
I'm praising God for your salvation brother! I'm praying for all the people in your family to know God's saving grace! I'm praying for the Holy Spirit to give you boldness to proclaim the truth of God to those around you who are far from Him.
God has a purpose and dreams for everyone before we even formed in our mother's womb. Let that come to pass in each and everyone's life. Just identify and accept the correct dream with Holyspirit guidance. Praise the Lord.
I had the opportunity to see you Pastor Furtick preach this message yesterday and it was very powerful. I had to come and watch it again. A true Blessing!
I would love to meet him
Wow earlier today I literally wrote down that I want a “God-given dream” and then I get a notification for this sermon 🙌🏾 Lord you are speaking !
praise God!!
Commenting to bring you back to you 🙏🏽💜
I'd like to request that you include the entire prayer at the end of the sermon, please. Its rather unsettling how abruptly it ends while one is still engaged in the prayer. Furthermore, thank you for the amazing service. God bless you!
I love you Jesus!
God set a dream in my life. I'm waiting for it since 3years. Whenever I thought to quit, He strengthed me. He also made my mess into message. God is working. I'm so thankful for His grace. I believe that He will fulfill His promises
Hallelujah 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 God's dream for me is bigger than mine..
Always
Gods Dream 4 Me.. I Can Fly but Im sure I Am Protected and Safe.. AMEN Thank You Lord
Thank you for this sermon. So many times our dreams come to reality in a different version. Today you solidified what I am looking at in my life today. My dream was to provide shelter for homeless children although I always shy away of taking care of little children. Well God answered my prayers but in a different way. After the age of 55 I am working PT as a Counselor for the YMCA. Instead I love and care for 24 first graders everyday of the week. You see how similar yet differently God has answered my prayers. I love it! I love being around the little people. Won’t He do it! Ultimately it is His will and not mine. I respect what is different!
God bless you!
Wonderful! Keep up the great work
This is awesome!!
Hands down one of THE BEST SERMONS I've EVER heard - not just Pastor Steven preach - but ANYONE!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
Hahaha, and it wasn't even biblically based...it was a motivational speach.
This has lifted my discouragement so much, thank you!!! I’m in the dark right now but my faith is developing. So I guess I am exactly where I’m supposed to be.
I have learnt so much from this sermon because I never understood the message in this way. Pastor Steven Furtick taught us about Danger of a Dream. Dreams makes you different and that part was interesting because people accept what is the same and reject what is different. But they eventually respect what is different. Don’t be afraid to wear your coat. I’m so thankful for this incredible sermon.🙏🙏
Don’t know if this is appropriate to say but... WIG SNATCHED..Now this is my New Favorite sermon from Pastor Furtick. He’s Awesome! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
lmbo
I think I’ve been following my dreams much more than God. I really needed this sermon.
This sermon is speaking volumes to me thank you Lord.
After seeing this post on Instagram, I had a lingering in my spirit to listen to this message. Thank God I obeyed. This message was preached for me. Thank you Pastor Steve Furrick 🙏🙏
GOD is forever a good GOD!!!!!!!
I really needed this message to remind me of GODs never-failing love and how he makes things happen for my good.
Your message reminds me to pray and ask
GOD Bless you all! Continue to pray for everything and everyone 🙏🏽!
“It’s not about position, it’s about the purpose.” I declare that today is the day am going to see the dream today! I am open for him to come and show me.🙏🏾
OMG I'm 1 min and 26 secs in and I already know that this word is for me! Thank you, Pastor Furtick, for staying close to God's ear! God bless you.
I am one of those who think is not real any more. Not even sure I remember my dreams any more. But thank you for the message. I will keep holding on to my faith until my dreams do happen. (South Africa)
I feel the same way.
I am living my dream.. waoooooo what a revelation. Honestly, Glad that God used you to speak live to my soul and my marriage. God bless
ako din😭kino Confused ako ng Dreams ko kya tino22o ko😢
"follow Jesus, and your dreams will follow you" Amen!
Amen!
This message is so important for everyone to hear! 🙌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Watched it yesterday live stream ,had to watch again..truly a blessing put in perspective my life🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
It is blessing
This message went straight to my heart! God was talking to me through this sermon. I felt it..I needed to hear this. Thank you so much.
Ya girl, I've been patiently waiting for God's timing for my "boom" but after 11 years he's still telling me to wait! Now, the Lord's's taking me into a new season where I won't really be investing in my dream but perhaps He will use that thing to allow me to enter into my dream.
#Hiswaysarenotourways
Me too
OH GOD all praises for you JESUS
Thank you pastor Steven
We are listening please know that we are always listening🙏😭♥️
“What if God let my dream go because it’s not big enough?”
“Not for status but for service!”
What a message! 🙌🏾🔥
This message knock me so hard ..I almost cried... thanks for the message.. god plz help me to be obedient to your word....
What a refreshing and life-changing sermon!
i follow Jesus and my dreams will follow me....God bless Pastor Steven Furtick and his ministries...Gods great work been done as you touch us with His word..Amen
Surely one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard in my whole life! 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this message.. It's not about fitting in and being like everyone else . It's about standing out and being who God created each of us to be. Wear your coat Hallelujah... Yes .. God didn't make you to be like the ordinary everyday people who do it like the world does it. God made you different because you are his child not of this world . You are a unique gem one of a kind. Shine bright for Jesus be the unique special work of art the masterpiece God created you to be . Jesus didn't fit in and his difference brung conflict because many didnt like the light in him exposing the sin in them.. Likewise we are different and because of that some may reject us and even not like us ,but God approves .. Jesus is truth and truth exposed the motives of the people which caused strife ,conflict,some even got angry to yue point of putting him on the cross. Jesus did not come to bring peace but a sword. There is a reason why he said a son will be against his father ,a daughter in law against mother in law etc ,and your enemies will be those of your own household/family ,friends,neighbors etc.. The reason is cause some choose to walk with Jesus and others choose to follow the world and its patterns which brings conflict, strife etc..
We are called to walk with Jesus, be different and speak truth even if it means being rejected, even if it means being slandered not liked by some etc.. All that matters is what God thinks and approves of.
Glory to God. May God continue to use Ps Steve and Elevation Church 🙏🏽✨
👏👏👏👏👏Hallelujah!!!!!! I'm so blessed and lifted by this message. Preach Pastor Steven. The LORD of hosts is with you always.
This church honestly helped save my life and bring me back to God. I love the rawness and honesty. I will take feel good Jesus over feel good drugs, and “you’ll never be good enough” religion any day!! Thank you for all that you do. Never stop yelling at me in Holly’s sweaters ❤
This is so timely! God bless you Pastor Steven and Elevation Church🙌🏾❤️
I needed to hear this. Thank you, Lord - please keep using and blessing Pastor Steven and Elevation Church 🙌🏾❤️
Sometimes dreams start as a duty. Amen. Praise the lord
God grant u more grace Ps Steven, am really enlightened n blessed by this sermon
Wow! Incredible message. So profound and true. Thank you Elevation Church for your ministry.
Probably one of the most powerful messages I’ve ever heard.
I've literally played the message twice, even downloaded the message. Speaks deep into my soul. Thank you Jesus
The timing of this message is just too perfect! This is the word of the Lord to me. Thank you Pastor Steven.
As I sit here with my 2.5yr old, 16mo old, and being 4mo pregnant with twins. I realized this is the dream..it was always the dream. To be a mom, to be able to stay at home with my children, to be a wife. And deep in the trenches it doesnt look anything like what in my mind it was supposed to look like THIS is the dream! Thank you Jesus for giving me this dream for as long as i can remember and thank you for bringing me to my dream. While in the middle of the mess, the tantrums, the exhaustion I have failed to see that this is truly my dream. Please forgive me Lord for not seeing rightly.
Wow this message is amazing. Thank you GOD for speaking through Ps Steven, i really needed to hear this. WOW
My name is Lorenzo and please keep me in your prayers going thru a few bad situations and I know that god will help me overcome but a little extra prayer would help!! Amen
I have goose bumps!! This is definitely one of the sermons that spoke MOST to me! SO THANKFUL for God and His love !!
Pastor Steven you are truly anointed that was the most profound sermon I've ever had the blessing of being able to have heard it !!! Again God Bless you and your family !!!
WOWWW!!! What A Sermon!! Praise be to God. Thank you Holy Spirit. Everyone Needs to hear this. Please share this sermon. Pastor Steven initially dreamt of being a singer, but God said i have a bigger plan for you. God used the same instrument that the pastor wanted to use to sing for the greater purpose of preaching and pastoring the sheep. If he had pursued his first dream, he could probably have succeeded, but he would have missed God's purpose for his life. BECAUSE SUCCESS IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DOESN'T INDICATE THAT YOU ARE FULFILLING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOU LIFE. Heavenly Father, may you continue to use your vessel, pastor Steven, to achieve your purposes, in Jesus name . Amen.
I needed this sermon 3 years ago. I had a dream bigger than myself and God wasn't in the equation. Now that I'm older and more mature, I give my dreams to God. One of them is to get married and have children of my own. I'm in a complicated relationship with an Army soldier. He is a Christian and that makes the relationship a whole lot easier. It's just the distance and not being able to have constant contact. I've been praying for him that God would keep a veil of protection over him while he's protecting our country.
DOUBLE HANDS UP...such a POWERFUL pure and wise message... THANK YOU!!!!.... I follow Jesus, not the dream... YOU are my dream Lord!!!!... Your plans are my goals!!!
Really needed this! Impacted my heart on just doing for god, and his dreams will follow me. Maybe my dreams aren’t in his will and maybe they need a different perspective and to be more mature. I will definitely continue to listen to this sermon to stay in my heart because I’ve been struggling and praying about this for a while.
Great message! I really needed to here this today, it was a reminder to keep my eyes on Jesus and he will direct my life in the direction he desires for it to go! Stay the course my fellow believers, it will all be worth it in the end!🙏🏾❤️
Amen! Amen! Amen! I needed this! Awesome message! Thank You Lord! 🙌
Goodness And Mercy Shall Follow All The Days of Your Life. You Just Have To Follow Jesus & Your Dreams Will Follow You.🎯
Glory be to our Lord Jesus; so powerful message, this was just what I needed most; have been hanging in between my dream and time to achieve them; but now after watching this am gonna continue following and serve my lord Jesus and at the right time the dream is gonna follow me full swing🙌🙌
God bless you Pastor Steve, this so real and powerful🔥🔥
Man this message was for ME!
Watching this in 2023 and this may be one of my favorite sermons to date.
Why would you dislike this video!?!? Thank you Steven. I have a bodybuilding dream and what i do is for God but i feel like i got carried away with size and falling from God. Now im putting God infront of my dream!
This has blessed me. Trusting God that his dreams shall take charge
Amen.. Sna ang Dream ni Papa pra sken ang Masunod.. Marsha hir

What a great message. I plan to watch this again until it saturates my heart.
I needed this sermon!' just on time
Greatful to God for the Power of His alsome Love and His gentle hand that leads me beside the still waters. This was a Psalms 91 walk with the Holy spirit for me during this message. Truly thankful for you my brother. Your gifts are a blessing to me .Thank you for your unique insight into the WORD.
I was putting my dreams and goals ahead of God, while He should've been my #1 goal. Now I'm putting Him first!
AMEN! EXCELLENT SERMON! Thank you my brother ... that was the confirmation I needed to hear 🙏🏼!
I played this over about 6 times. I’m a new subscriber! Thank you I needed this so much❤️
What a great sermon. Thank you pastor Steven for sharing this message. God is good
Sometimes God speaks to us through sermons. Keep speaking Steven.... keep speaking the word.
Wow! I am blessed by this. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This message spoke right into my life...Praise God for the clarity He gives each of us....tho it will take its time but in our time of waiting Our God is working. Blessed!!
A dream might not always be for you. It might not always pan out the way you anticipate it to. Be flexible and open to what God is saying, doing and aligning for you.
cgru nga no.. Kino Confused ako ng mga Panaginip ko😢

By far the best of Pastor Furtick’s Sermons. So blessed, I ended up listening to this message in four of the five sermons yesterday. Yet, I’m here again listening another time. There are messages that touch your heart, and then, there’s this message that has been life changing.
IT’S NOT ABOUT MY DREAM. IT’S ABOUT GOD’S DREAM FOR ME.
THANK YOU JESUS FOR PASTOR. STEVEN FURTICK!!
