Quotes from Joel Osteen

Now your time is coming. What's been shut up in your spirit is about to be released. It's going to be bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you ever imagined. It's not going to come through your neighbor, through your cousin, through your boss, or through your pastor. It's going to come through you. It's your baby. It's your time to be celebrated.

Today's Prayer Father, thank You for empowering me to stand on the truth that You did not make me inferior or not good enough.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

What God has put in you, He's still going to bring to pass. You are pregnant with destiny. You are pregnant with greatness. It's not going to come through others. You're going to shine. You're going to excel. You're going to be promoted. You're going to be celebrated. You are fully loaded. You're not at a deficit. You're not lacking. You're full of potential, full of favor.

You are the head and not the tail. You will lend and not borrow. You are a victor and not a victim.

In difficult times, it's easy to talk about the problem, complain, be negative. But that's when you have to dig down deep and say, "No, I'm going to keep speaking victory. God, You're my provider, You're my healer, You're my way-maker.

Can you endure the silence of not knowing everything? Will you trust God even though you don't have the details? Will you take that step of faith even though you're nervous, uncomfortable, and not sure how it's going to work out?

Don't fall into a complacency trap. It doesn't take any more effort to stay filled with faith than it takes to develop a negative attitude. Dare to step out of your comfort zone today. God has so much more in store. Keep pursuing and keep believing.

He will lead you purposefully into situations where you're in over your head, your friends can't help you, and you don't have the experience you think you need.
