Greater

Dream bigger. Start smaller. Ignite God's Vision for Your Life

De: Steven Furtick

Narrado por: Steven Furtick

Are you ready to open your imagination to the possibility that God has a vision for your life that is greater?

We all have honest moments when we're gripped by a desire to feel that what we're doing matters more. That who we are matters more.

And according to one of the most shocking verses in the Bible, Jesus wants the very same thing for every one of us:

"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." (John 14:12)

That single promise - "even greater things than these" - should be enough to shatter our acceptance of spiritual mediocrity. Unfortunately, most believers have only tried and given up on vague notions of greatness...then settled into a life that's just good enough.

Good enough = Baseline living that is marked by mediocrity, stuck in spiritual survival mode, and controlled by complacency.

Greatness = Vague, unrealistic aspirations of doing better that don't work in real life and lead to endless frustration.

But there is a third way.

Greater = The life-altering understanding that God is ready to accomplish a greatness in your life that is entirely out of human reach - beyond anything you see in yourself on your best day, but exactly what God has seen in you all along.

In Greater, Pastor Steven Furtick draws on the biblical story of Elisha to empower you to:

• Take a God-given dream from idea to reality
• Stretch your limited resources and abilities in ways you never thought possible
• Replace the images of yourself that keep you feeling stuck in the past
• Make a significant impact with your life starting today, rather than making endless plans for tomorrow that you never get around to

If you're tired of being ordinary, it's time to dream bigger. If you're feeling overwhelmed about where to begin, it's time start smaller. It's time to ignite God's Greater vision for your life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Writes Steven Furtick, ‘Good enough leaves you stuck in stagnation. Grasping for greatness leads to endless frustration. But greater is a third way.’ My advice? Don’t waste another second to embrace the third way. In Greater, Steven shows you that God’s vision for your life is ready to be ignited. Go ahead - strike the match!” (Jentezen Franklin, senior pastor of Free Chapel, Gainesville, GA, and New York Times best-selling author of Fasting)

Inspiring

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. Anyone desiring to take the next step whether in ministry or your relationship with Christ , this is a must read

Who was your favorite character and why?

Elisha his story was inspiring of the ups and down battles that we each face as we attempt to fulfill Gods purposes in our life

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes but in order to really get the most out of it, smaller bites are best so as to digest the information and evaluate your own life in light of what is being taught. I'm going to read it a second time time but am sure it is one I will return to over and over again.

What an awesome listen.

This was an amazing listen. It really made me open up my eyes to some things in my life that I stopped believing God for. It also confirmed somethings that I've been trying to ignore. I recommend this book and will definitely be listening to it again!

Amazing

Such a simple storyline to grasp but powerful. Steven Furtick has a gift and I’m blessed by his ministry and words. Truly powerful book and a good one for anyone searching for the Greater life and to understand their true identity in Christ.

If you are searching, read this. Now.

Thank you Steven for your words of encouragement, truth and love. I know in my Spirit that God wanted me to hear your story. Right now. At this very moment in my life I have to admit It's time that I step up and claim my Elisha moment and with God and through God I chose GREATER. God Bless! Sharon

Very well said Pastor Furtick

I enjoyed this book very much. I had ordered it and sent to my nephew who is in prison and set to be released in 5 months. He has come back to God thru this time. But he needs to learn how to restart a new life. I hope this helps.

Strike it, one of the best!

Amazing, a journey with no beginning no ending. Moving us towards a truth that we can only scratch the surface of comprehension . Thanks for the guided tour.

Worthy listen

The audible book is definitely something to listen to repeatedly as there will be new lessons to learn.
