Filled By Faith! | I Know That Voice | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

Main message: God fills and uses people by faith — not by their feelings, age, or appearance — so show up, obey the next step, and keep moving even when you don't “feel” it.

Key points:

• The sermon centers on 1 Samuel 16: Samuel obeys God’s call to anoint David even while grieving Saul’s failure; God looks at the heart, not outward appearance.
• Faith is doing what God says when you know who is speaking but don’t yet know how — show up and take the next step.
• Feelings will be mixed (joy and grief, celebration and burial); being anointed or used by God often feels messy, but that doesn’t mean God hasn’t fulfilled his promise.
• Growth happens when you act in faith despite emotions — faith grows each time you obey without waiting to “feel” it.
• God finds and fills people “in the field” and will fill the empty seats/places in your life if you keep returning, keep obeying, and keep worshiping.

Scriptures mentioned: 1 Samuel 16, 1 Samuel 3
