Steven Furtick: Courageous Leadership

I have said it before on my blog that Steven Furtick, Pastor of Elevation Church in Charlotte NC, is a huge inspiration to me. Steven is 28 and launched the church when he was 25, he is young but he has stayed steadfast to what God has called him to do, and God is blessing him and his ministry in a huge way. His church just turned 2 years old and they are running around 4,000 people between 2 campuses!

My pastor passed his message “Courageous Leadership” along to me. It is awesome! I uploaded it to Media Fire so I could share it with the blog world. I hope I am not breaking any copyright laws or anything like that. I just thought that other pastors and church leaders would get something out of the message.

Humble Me!

Dear God,

Please humble me! Please make me lower…make me decrease so you can increase. May your influence through my life lead people to you and not divide people and turn them away. May I never preach messages like these. May I never speak out against your anointing, your men, your people, your creation, your church. God I want you to use me, but not at the expense of hurting another man of God or his ministry. Thank you Lord that churches all across America are exploding for you because they refuse to allow man to hold them back, instead they are being obedient to you and your word. My God! If you would be so generous to allow my life to count for as much as you have the lives of men like Perry Noble and Billy Graham. Lord, I know you love men like Pastor Steven Anderson, and I pray that you would change his heart, and that though he may have his own opinions, that you would humble him, change his heart, use him greatly for your ministry, and give him a deep love for your people and your pastors. Forgive him for his venomous attacks towards your men. Lord only you can change his heart and his mind. Lord may I never represent you in an ill fashion.
