Pastor and Elevation Church founder Steven Furtick has delivered a powerful message on perseverance, urging believers to resist the urge to quit when faced with difficulties.
Addressing his congregation, he spoke about what he called a “generational spirit” of quitting, emphasizing that this mindset is not exclusive to millennials but affects all generations. “We’re all thinking we can just quit stuff whenever we want to quit stuff and walk away from stuff the first time,” he remarked.
He pointed out that many people give up the moment things become difficult, making decisions based on emotions rather than faith. “It doesn’t work, and the moment it gets hard, we quit because we don’t feel it. But feelings are not Lord; Jesus is Lord,” he stated, reinforcing the biblical teaching that faith, not feelings, should guide believers.
Encouraging his audience to stand if they felt the message applied to them, he declared, “You keep doing it until God says stop.” He went on to emphasize that Christians do not strive for victory but rather operate from a position of victory, affirming, “A victory—it is not of works. We don’t fight for victory, we fight from victory.”
Proclaiming what he called a prophetic message, he made it clear that quitting should not be an option unless God commands it. “You can’t quit on yourself. You can’t quit on your freedom. You can’t quit on your destiny. You can’t quit on your assignment. You can’t quit on your anointing until God says quit,” he declared.
His words resonated deeply with those in attendance, reinforcing the importance of perseverance and unwavering faith in difficult times.
