My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.
Joel OsteenDonโt simply settle for what your parents had. You can go further than that. You can do more, have more, be more.
Joel OsteenMy daddy tried to get me up to speak for the 17 years that I worked behind the scenes, but I never had the desire. Naturally, I was nervous and kind of shy. I just didn't want to do it.
Joel OsteenI spent a lot of time in India with my father. I don't know all about their religion. But I know they love God. And I don't know. I've seen their sincerity.
Joel OsteenI preach that anybody can improve their lives. I think God wants us to be prosperous. I think he wants us to be happy. To me, you need to have money to pay your bills. I think God wants us to send our kids to college. I think he wants us to be a blessing to other people. But I don't think I'd say God wants us to be rich. It's all relative, isn't it?
