Start announcing freedom from anything thatโs holding you back. Freedom from addictions, freedom from loneliness, freedom from lack, freedom from struggle. You are prophesying your future. Your words are setting the direction for your life.
Joel OsteenWhat others say and do cannot stop you from fulfilling your destiny. Your destiny was handed down by Almighty God.
Joel OsteenIf youโre not seeing God move in your life right now, one of two possibilities must be considered. Either your requests are not Godโs best and will probably not be answered the way youโd like or it must not be the right time. If God were to answer that prayer the way you are hoping, it could interfere with his ideal plan for you.
Joel OsteenWe all have unfair situations and things we don't like. You can get bitter, discouraged and sour, or you can see it as fertilizer and say, โ This difficulty is not going to defeat me; it's going to promote me. It's not going to hinder me; it's going to help me.โ Don't just go through it, grow through it.
Joel OsteenThe Bible indicates that for three days, Jesus went into the very depths of hell. Right into the enemy's own territory. And He did battle with Satan face to face. Can you imagine what a show down that was? It was good vs. evil. Right vs. wrong. Holiness vs. filth. Here are the two most powerful forces in the universe have come together to do battle for the first time in history. But thank God. The Bible says, "Satan was no match for our Champion". This was no contest.
