I don't really know what the prosperity gospel is. The way I define it is that I believe God wants you to prosper in your health, in your family, in your relationships, in your business, and in your career. So I do ... if that is the prosperity gospel, then I do believe that.
Joel OsteenWhen God puts love and compassion in your heart toward someone, Heโs offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that personโs life. You must learn to follow that love. Donโt ignore it. Act on it. Somebody needs what you have.
Joel OsteenI was reading in the Bible and one translation says that Jesus said that if you publicly will acknowledge me before people, I will acknowledge you before my Father in heaven. So that is a big part of these meetings like Night of Hope, giving people an opportunity to publicly say, "Jesus, I believe you are the messiah, you're Christ, you're my Lord."
