“Separation is for preparation. Sometimes God has to pull you away from people & circumstances to help prepare you to fulfill your calling.” -Steven Furtick ✞

Sometimes when it looks like you are going backwards, God is making a space where He can bless you. Hallelujah.

This message really spoke to me. In October my 11-year relationship ended, and a month and a half later I lost my brother in an accident (we were SO close, like best friends), and then that same week my best friend had to leave me. Three very important men are gone in a matter of two months. After one there was another and another. But I can see how God has been so good through it all. I can see how my being alone has been teaching me and preparing me, especially now because we are in this quarantine. It doesn't mean I hadn't wept, and felt so targeted. I doesnt meant that I didnt have moments where I felt cursed or something. I feel like I really don't have the right words to say right now. But all I can say is God is SO in control. At a time when it could be easy to say otherwise, I'm seeing and calculating the opposite. I'm failing my pre-med class right now Because I was sick with the coronavirus and couldn't study for 3 weeks. Im retaking it. BUT Everything feels on purpose. Everything had to be done. IDK why all these things had to happen but I know He is still in control. There's a bigger picture here that is hidden for a time, but will be revealed when God wants to.

I pray for everyone here that God reveals his work in your life. He needed to separate me from toxic relationships, addictions, and low self-esteem to help me grow. 🙏

4 year clean and sober this week by the grace of God to God be the glory hallelujah to Jesus Christ

The isolation a lot of people are feeling rn during quarantine is necessary for the redirection for us to step into our calling. Praise God🙏🏽

He was literally preaching about my life since I came to college. No friends, when I got them I got isolated again. God brought those friends at the right time and when their purpose was finished he let them go. Take me to my destination Lord!

I've been jobless, friendless, loveless, purposeless, pretty much everything less for a long while now. But I believe it's because God is rerouting my life. I needed to hear all this

don’t trade in “special” for “similar! amen!

This quarantine taught me to focus on my peace not being accessible like that protect my energy so I can focus more on my come up

My 2 year relationship just ended and for 2 months I have been suffering more than I've ever been. God spoke to me in this message and so I am very grateful to hear this sermon.

One of the things that stood out to me was “Why are you so afraid to stand out”. We are not called to be like everyone else. We are to be set apart. Trust this process of separation and see where it leads you.

I don’t have to like what it looks like, I just have to trust that it is working for my good. Separation🙌🏾

God is preparing and approving me in private. 🙏🏾Not wasting my separation season 🙌🏾

“Separate for a purpose” 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽God is starting something in my life!!!!

That footbal demonstration is powerfull in so many ways... sometimes thats needed to come back to earth!!!

This is a season for my preparation to receive all that He desires to give to me and to lead me to my promised land

Very uncomfortable, but it is teaching me so much about myself, my strength and this world.

Recently found out I am autistic. It made me feel different and alone most of my life. But I am starting to see how God wants to use it to help others through beginning to share my story.

Praying for my comeback. Separating from my sweetheart. I know the Lord wants different things for me and me daughters but right now I’m just trying not to cry most days. Asking for prayers. We are going to get through this, I know it🙏🏼💕

Separation from the worlds way is preparation to live HIS way. There is pure blessing to know that GOD is using it all to redirect us to HIM and how we are called to live by the Word.

HE GOT ME WHEN HE SAID DID SOMEONE LEAVE UR LIFE RECENTLY! DID SOMEONE BREAK UR HEART SWEETHEART! I BOUT CRIED! 💯😭😔 SO TRUE BCUZ I CAN RELATE THIS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! BUH ITZ ALL GOOD BCUZ WHERE THERES A NO GOD HAS A BETTER YES! 💯💜🙌🙏 HE MOST DEFINITELY HAS SOMEONE BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS DEALING WITH! AN I KNOW IT! I BELIEVE VIT & RECEIVE VIT! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Please pray for my son to be separated from worldly things and worldly friends so he can make wise decisions and seek God in everything

“I love you, but I can’t be with you all the time!!” I felt that!

Major breakthrough in the process. God is so good. When all others walk out JESUS walks in

The Holy Spirit always uses you to speak EXACTLY to my season 🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you Ps Furtick. My husband left but that’s alright I’m on a come back route

Separation from excuses for deeper purpose, WOW! I’m definitely in a season of preparation. I just told my guy friend last Sunday that my husband would need to be someone that could handle me in my gifts. Also been praying deeply for him. God literally has me separated from people. It’s really uncomfortable sometimes. My prayer has literally been for God to hold my hand. I’m aware of some of my gifts but God is doing a new thing. I’m healing deeply and it’s weird and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Pastor SF for this message!

Separation is even harder to deal with in a world where being separate doesn't really have the best connotation, and can be confused with things like loneliness. Those "you can't sit with us" kind of situations. Which can make it easy to force being similar, to avoid being misunderstood, standing out or being different. Aborting the promise we know very well God placed inside of our wombs. Not everyone needs to go on maternity leave... Its a special kind of separation...for preparation. Thank you lord for the reminder.😭 You work best in the desert places - in the separatiiiooonnn!😭❤️

pastor Steven! you have no idea how incredibly powerful this message hit me. Ever single point in this message reasonated deeply with me. Ive prayed to God every single day for years to tell me why “why i am i different ? why do i feel so seperated from the world, my friends, and everyone in who i am?” and It's like every single worry and fear and anxiety that ive felt growing up for half of my life was because of this persistent feeling. God just answered the why to me through this message! God bless you pastor, i thank the lord for using you as such a powerful vessel.

my heart was broken four days ago and ive been feeling alot of emotions, and its hard to believe sometimes that things can be better but i have no doubt that GOD can and will make a change in my life with someone new, and a better opportunity, thank you for your words. amen

This whole pandemic and isolation has pushed many of us to find our purpose. I don't think most people would have been here if we weren't in isolation. This was a great sermon and I am learning and working on myself everyday.

Isaiah 45: 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

"God's got you on the come back round" Sometimes you may feel same things happened within your life not knowing that God is creating a space for you to see his Purpose. He pulls you back to him, so when you go again you may stand like a Lion roaring because someone before you is Almighty .Thank you so much Pastor Steven whenever I heard your Preach I felt God was the One who spoke to me it was always on time to be heard.💛

So, as someone currently going through a season of isolation, this was just what I needed to hear. I was already pretty familiar with the concept, but it's different when you're actually living it. I guess I was formerly dismissive of the concept, but it's definitely a real thing and it kind of just came clear out of nowhere. It doesn't feel too great living thousands of miles away from the place you grew up and having the few close people that you actually have suddenly walk out of your life for seemingly no reason at all. Can't really put into words how lonely it's been at times, but it's given me way more time to spend meditating on the word and spending time in the secret place with Abba. This sermon was not-so-lowkey brilliant and I'm glad I stopped scrolling to listen to it. *subscribed*

Hallelujah! Separation is indeed preparation. Never waste your season of concencration!

Amen God wants his people to stand out

Separation is preparation!!!! We couldn’t have heard this at any better moment

God has me on His comeback route. hallelujah

Oh my God!!!! This just came at the right time. I was too confused and hurt someone close to me is no longer with me and we don't talk and it hurts badly sometimes and I think about all the things that could have been right but now I know why God did this to me. He is just preparing me and the message came at the right time and now I know that God spoke to me through you. Thank you for this Pastor.

God is definitely starting something in my life with my family. Malachi 4:6 is one of the promises I stand on. My daughter is 11 and I've chosen relationships and drugs over her but 10 Months clean and I am fully confident God is restoring that relationship

This separation has honestly been a blessing to me. So many beautiful opportunities has surfaced during this pandemic. I am looking forward to normal!

As long as this man stays according to scripture - this man is my preacher. He. Does. Not. Miss. Christ has set me free!

I can't find someone because God has someone who is going to compliment my calling and purpose thankyou Jesus

I thank God for another beautiful day. I needed to ear those words of hope.

I recently just got out of an abusive relationship I’m a recovering alcoholic currently in AA and I’ve just been going through a lot lately I’ve relapsed so many times since that person came into my life again and I left him and I’m ready to separate from everything that’s not helping me and watching this gave me so much comfort and peace. I want to feel close to God again! Thank you Steven Furtick for this video! I need prayers!

God said.......let there be light. Thank u steven, thank u elevation church

I've got chill bumps because of this sermon......In this time with the COVID being an issue for us all, where we need to wear masks and have 6ft separation I have taken it a step further; I have health problems that keep me at home and separated from others. I have found more time to work on my relationship with God, to evaluate myself and those around me. I have cut out Facebook completely and I have cut people out of my life that I cannot be around right now because the live a different life than I do; I am not that person they knew anymore. As I get stronger in the WORD I am seeing and feeling the changes in my heart and soul brought on by this new relationship with God; He is my Father and I am His daughter. I have known this all my life but with this virus causing separation, not only have I known this but now I feel it!!!! Thank you Brother Furtick for sharing the Good News that allows not only myself but others to be a part of a Church Family!!! May God continue to bless you and your family!!!!

God is preparing me in the silence. Thank you God for all. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏

Thank you, im seprated from my husband 2 years, been hard to move on, if it was for jesus and the church helping me a year and a half go i wouldnt be here today, Amen

I don’t see how so many could dislike this. I’ve never read the Bible, but some how god ALWAYS tell me what I need to know and i always seem to catch what he is telling me is true and this is reassurance.

There are a lot of Preachers on the media but i know God introduced you to me for a reason,i have benefited of listening to you...God bless you man of God❤

I needed this - I don't fit in at work because I am better quality than my coworkers. I've been feeling lonely and separated. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be...because God is preparing me and setting an example thru me. Thank you for posting this!! God's grace be with you all.

Praise God 🙏🔥 I was a stress addict for 32years and have been delivered from that spirit, Hallelujah "He is Risen".

Been feeling this so heavily lately... what's even more divine is the quotation on my graduation cap in 2019 read: "My elevation REQUIRED my separation!" Come on timing 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I rewatched this today & it has NEW MEANING,THE 1ST TIME I WATCHED IT US WHEN PASTOR STEVEN FURTICK 1ST PREACHED IT & IT WAS STRENGTHENING & A LIL PAINFUL but I wanted to hear God & keep pushing into my or THE WORD OF GOD SO IJUST KEPT listening & watching & praying & just seeking GOD & GROWING. BECAUSE some people that I trusted BETRAYED me & I was very hurt & disoriented & just ?! Idk all the words but just with a LOT OF QUESTIONS & feelings ~anyways this message comes on on that particular Sunday when it was 1st shown & I'm like alright I think I understand or see a lil & I recieve it but I was still just hurt,thinking,umh? Just like wow now what & long story short GOD!😁🤗😆 HE JUST SAVED ME HEALED ME JUST PROTECTED ME from what I "thought "I needed &/or wanted & gave me SOMEONE, SOMETHING(S),I NEEDED,didn't know I needed/wanted in my life!!!!! Praise GOD. HALLELUJAH.

Pastor SF is special . God's gift to us for a time like this .

This sermon blessed me immensely. Thank you Pastor Steven.

I don’t know why anyone says he is a fake preacher. Bc he speaks to me. I’m so happy i found his channel.

This video posted just prior to my wife approaching me about divorce. I’m watching this 5 months later, because God IS that good. We’re now separated and she has filed, but I feel there is a purpose to it I can’t explain. I remember watching it, but not really feeling the impact that it has now. This was a true blessing...Now I’m awaiting what God has purposed for me, with anticipation. Thank you and God Bless you, Pastor Steven!

I absolutely miss Pastor Steven hollering at a crowd! But no sad thoughts here. Because his passion that he often emits to the crowd changed course and his preachings got even more intimate and personal! It's like, he's no longer preaching to your ears but he's now even more determined to preach to your heart and penetrate your life!!!

Thank you so much. I have never thought of people leaving your life or having no one around as separation for preparing you for something better. In Jesus Name!! Thank you for your encouragement

The first 90 seconds could be ten sermons alone. Have to watch that a few more times. Wow. Just wow.

Yes and He will reveal His purpose for your life and separate you from others. My husband Chris and I were separated for over 2 years. The Lord is restoring as we speak! We serve a big God ya'll!!!!!

Separated for a purpose!!...I was filled with confusion with my present and the past...But now I totally understand. Its a direct word from God for what I was seeking for. "Separation is for preparation" for where God wants me to be. Cos He knows it won't work with me but it will just disrupt my destiny. He called us as His chosen(spoken word), though we may not see it for what exactly we are chosen for so God separated us from where we were in our lives to show and make us understand what we are in His calling...!! Hallelujah 🙌 Thank you pastor steven for this message. Blessed 😇

Thank you Jesus for this word........I have to be separated in order for the Lord to prepare me for greater......

2 days into a new perspective into a new beginning... Into a a fresh start is sometimes the best things to do to reset is not go back, not to beat yourselves but to renew everything you've strive for... Everything you've want in life and your continuances to be able to put you back on track as to where you want to be... Nothing new just trying to do things better than the direction you were going... Thank you Jesus.

Preaching of me pastor...Going back to my home country abruptly but I know it is for God’s purposes..am separated from my church n. Friends for His purpose.i believe God have already started something for me n have already anointed me to move to my country..

if "full of energy" was a church 😂🙌

This is what i needed to hear honestly... I'm asking you guys to keep my in prayers... Go Pastor

All the things I prayed about God has already answered in this message. Even supposed "mistakes". How great is our God!

I opened my my KZfaq app and this is the first video on my screen... I needed this and didn’t know it!

Omg... I broke into tears. Life makes so much more sense with this sermon. Thank you Steven Furtive. I remember my hardest times in my life I looked for help. All in the wrong or dead end places. I somehow bumped into your sermon one am before work on TV. Ever since then I watch you on you tube. Thank you for sharing your gift from God. Its definitely not an easy job, but you definitely make it look easy. Its a beautiful flowing river with a touch of sunshine. Thank you and thank you God for the help we find in his teachings.

This inspired me so much. I’m going through a toxic break up and couldn’t need to hear these words more then I do right now. Thank you Steve

This is definitely a response from God regarding the conversation I had over the phone with my mom. God always speaks to us 😇 Yesterday I was sad telling mom that I am so lonely. I need company but this video just made me realise that I am not. I have been seperated, and seperation is preparation🙌. During this time I've become so close to God and experienced the Holy Spirit in a way I never have before and not just that, God called me into something that I might have not realised or heard if I was not Seperated. Amen to the God that makes something new everyday, I have been transformed. STEPPING INTO MY SEASON. STEPPING INTO MY PURPOSE. STEPPING INTO MY CALLING. STEPPING INTO MY DESTINY. 🙏

People can't see how strong your God is if your battled are not fierce

These preachings always come at the right moment for me!🙏

Our calling is not to fit in but to a have a special possession ❤️ thank God!

God gives a greatest warrior out of your life in the face of the greatest resistance to show that He (God) is mighty!

This message is so right on time. I've been telling people that God created this pandemic to get my attention. Although it was recorded prepandemic, God needed me to be isolated so that I could RECEIVE this right here!!! Thank you Pastor Furtick! Separation is preperation!

Glory be to God... Amen
