He’s in it with you. In “The Faith To Get Back Up,” Pastor Steven Furtick reminds us that whatever we’re facing today, God’s gone before us — and that’s a promise we can count on! This is an excerpt from “Keep It 100.” To watch the full message from @elevationchurch, click here: • Keep It 100 | Pastor Steven Furtick |… #faith #peace #hope #stevenfurtick #elevationchurch Chapters: 0:00 – Building On The Wrong Foundation 2:37 – The Faith To Get Back Up 5:14 – Stay In It 7:58 – God’s Not Through With You Yet 10:11 – When You Don’t Feel It Scripture References: Romans 4, verses 17-19
you keep trying to build on the wrong
Foundation oh God I’m fearful oh God I’m
anxious oh God I’m depressed oh God I
messed up oh God I’m not that smart oh
God I’m not prepared oh God I’m not
experienced oh God I’m crazy oh God I’m
addicted that is not the basis of the
faith of Abraham God said it’s all by
Grace I brought you in this world by
Grace I spoke you into existence by
Grace I made you born in the time you
were born so that the promise would be
by grace
let’s take 20 seconds and praise him for
Amazing Grace
Grace
God’s grace
God’s grace
assuming if it started with God it’s
guaranteed
so now touch three people say I gotta
guarantee I gotta guarantee I got a
guarantee from the manufacturer that
everything he intends to bring forth
from my life shall come to pass and no
mistake no Hagar no doubt no laugh Can’t
Stop
foreign
[Applause]
this is only good news if you need some
Grace
if you got it all right see ya go on
home keep getting it right but for
everybody who is here by faith
by grace
if you gave me enough time I could hit
everybody in this room and show you why
you need Grace
oh no I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I
don’t do any of that yeah but you know
what you do
you control
and what else you do you judge
just like I’m judging you
for judging me
so don’t stand there like you don’t need
Grace
the ground is level at the foot of the
cross I’m not the one on the middle I’m
that Thief saying Remember Me Jesus give
me that Grace give me that good news
gospel Grace
the promise comes by faith faith in one
not by faith
cause I might fall face down and laugh
but God still said
you gotta have the faith of Abraham
what’s that
the faith to fall down
and get back up
I feel somebody getting up today getting
up in your spirit getting up you didn’t
just get up and get in your car you got
up and you walked into the promise of
God you were right smacked in the middle
of the Fulfillment of God’s promise on
your life
and the danger is you have got to stay
in faith so God can do everything he
wants to do through you
Abraham turns 83. it’s a bad thing when
you’re having your 85th birthday still
talking about you know I got potential
that’s supposed to be when you’re 18
y’all not 80. you know I still got more
I’m gonna do I don’t think you do
and I love this verse I love this verse
did you ever hear me preach this back in
the day I did a whole thing on this
verse 19.
it said that he
Romans 4 19. be more specific
that without weakening in his faith
all the pragmatic people are going to
love this he faced the fact
I always loved that
because it gives room for the skeptic to
get some Grace too
I can almost see it when I preach
some people you say Romans and they jump
up and shout about Romans
I love romance give me Romans some
people it don’t matter how much Faith
you feel in the room you can see it they
sit back there like
that’s good but bills
that’s good but bursitis in my knee
that’s good but custody battle
that’s good but I got some pills in the
bathroom I haven’t flush yet
he faced
the fact
you think God gave you the faith of
Abraham to escape reality
he gave you Grace to empower you for
reality
give us in my spirit
so you can look at the scoreboard Graham
had a game the other night they were
down 20 football game down 20 at
halftime
came back won the game by two
[Applause]
I said that must have been one heck of a
halftime speech coach gave I’m in the
motivation business so I asked him when
he got home I said what did he say at
halftime
he said he only told us one thing
stay in it
[Applause]
what cause you don’t know yet
you don’t know yet
you don’t know yet
you don’t know yet you say oh well I’m
just keeping it real I’m just being me
which me
the me you see
or the me that God spoke from eternity
past that is uncorrupted by this Mortal
body with me
thank you God speaks to the me that’s
gonna be
if I stay in it
come on channel your inner football
coach you know you want to pretend like
you’re coached Taylor come on tell Tim
Rick is saying it saying it stay in it
stay in it stay in it stay in it stay in
it stay in it stay in it stay in it I’m
gonna preach this till it breaks through
that artifice of your heart and heart
stay
in it
Abraham was given a promise
when he was 75.
how old
was Abraham
when God
made the promise
75. what I just said
try again
do this online in the comments how old
was Abraham when God made the promise
how old was he when he saw God keep it
what is my message called
keep it
[Applause]
oh you thought all I was talking about
when I said keep it 100. was just be
real
no I’m telling you what’s real to you
right now
maybe a ceiling
that God is trying to break you through
if you can believe by faith
for the grace
for the gaps in your life that cause you
to laugh in the face of God
when he shows you what’s possible
I’m concerned that this phrase in our
vernacular keep it 100 has become an
excuse for us
to never improve
and never grow and so if all I do in
church is say hey you’re a drunk I’m a
drunk less drink everybody gets a 20
ounce communion beer let’s go
then I have not appropriated the grace
of God in your life as a preacher of the
Gospel to show you that the me that you
see right now is not the core of who you
are and God is not through with you yet
some of the promises that he made you is
going to take you your whole life to see
him but keep it a hundred if it takes me
all night if it takes me my 30s if it
takes me my 40s if it takes me going to
meetings if it takes me going to therapy
if it takes me changing my friends if it
takes me staying up late reading my
Bible praying on the edge of the bed if
it takes it I’m coming I’ma keep it a
hundred
[Applause]
and I believe
I will see
the goodness of the Lord
come on find 99 people high five I’m
gonna tell them give it a hundred give
it a hundred he’s looking for you God’s
looking for you gotta leave the 99 to
find the one give it
keep it
keep it amen
give it
[Applause]
Abraham believed and so became it didn’t
happen overnight
it didn’t happen first year it didn’t
happen second year it’s not gonna happen
as quick as you want to but this is not
a five-minute faith
that’s that Hagar hookup that
five-minute Faith where you try
something
[Applause]
this is
the faith thank you Jesus of Abraham
and you’re already
the grace of God
stay in it
stay in it
stay in it stay in it
[Applause]
for the 300 of you
who are receiving this message at a deep
level you feel that Faith you feel right
now in your heart
stay in it
stay in it
when you don’t feel it stay in faith
when you can’t prove this damn thing
when you look at your body like Abraham
did he faced the fact that his body
wasn’t doing too good
not as good as he once was
can’t do it like I used to do it
but he was fully persuaded
because he had faith
in God
what God
you know you’re so good at listing
problems
oh when I ask you what problems are you
fighting
why are you so much better at that than
when I say what God are you believing
now Lord told me when you preach this
make sure that the message they give
is not what faith they have
but what God
they have
[Applause]
and make sure
that your faith isn’t in what promise
you think he made you
might have heard him wrong
I love what he said give me 17. I close
with this
I know I could preach another two hours
but I know you want to go to Cracker
Barrel come on keep it 100 y’all are
ready to leave I keep it 100 you keep it
100 so give me my last verse stand up
Saints I have made you stand up I have
made you

Abraham today
