I Know That Voice

Take Your Notes On The Boat! | I Know That Voice | Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

August 2, 2026 · 50m

Summary

Have you ever wished God would explain why you're going through something? You don't always need a new word from God — sometimes you need to remember the one He's already spoken. If you've been looking for peace, clarity, or confidence in a difficult season, discover how God's Word can help you trust Him even before you have all the answers.

Chapters

Key takeaways

  • Don't just take notes on the shore — bring what God has spoken to you into the storms of life and apply it there.
  • Jesus teaches you deeply before storms arrive so you already have the word you need when the wind comes.
  • Faith isn't grown by hearing the Word; it's grown by applying the Word against the wind of resistance.
  • The storm is a gift — a whiteboard where God teaches things He cannot teach in calm seasons.
  • When circumstances call Jesus 'Teacher,' the storm calls Him 'Lord,' and He wants to reveal that lordship to you.
