Joel Osteen

Expectation is the breeding ground for God to do the impossible in our lives. Have you started expecting lack, mediocrity, and struggle? Begin to shift your perspective and expect to see the miraculous in your life. Expectation is not just positive thinking, expectation is our faith being put into action!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When something is exceptional, it means that it is better than good; it is outstanding. The exceptional stands out from the crowd, is extraordinary, and is something to be celebrated. You were made by God to be exceptional.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you have dreams in your life that you have buried, so to speak? Maybe your dream was to be free from addiction, to have a healthy marriage, or to fulfill your God-given purpose, but you thought it was impossible so you stopped believing. The good news is that God is a God who brings dead things back to life. Be encouraged through this message to begin believing for your dreams again!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel wants to remind you —when God created you, He put a part of Himself in you.

All through the Gospels we read that wherever Jesus went He was moved with compassion for people. When He saw the multitudes, He had this deep inward moving of love to heal the sick and feed them miraculously. He had compassion on the widow who was weeping for her dead son and raised him from the dead (Luke 7:14). Two blind men heard that Jesus was passing by and cried out, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” (Matthew 20:30), and Jesus stopped in His tracks, called them, and looked them right in their faces. They couldn’t see Him, but I bet they could feel His compassion as He touched their eyes and healed them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God has given us resources, our jobs, our families, our relationships, but we cannot mistake the resources from the Source. God is our Source and His supply never runs short. We can live free from the pressure of people pleasing, confident in the assurance that God will supply all of our needs according to Christ Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s time to make room for increase in your life!

David prayed in Psalm 141, “Lord, set a guard over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips.” He was saying, “God, I am in a difficult situation. Don’t let me speak words that get my life off course. I don’t want to speak what I see and feel. I want to speak what You want. I want to go in Your direction for my life.” And that’s exactly what you and I need to speak in the midst of the pressures of life. Our words can send us in the direction of God. We serve a positive God who spoke life and light into a dark and void situation and created this world. And He has given us the privilege to do the same—to speak into our situations, to begin to prophesy our future, to direct our life where it needs to go so that we can obtain the miracles that He has for us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God has given us promises in His Word--promises of healing, freedom, and wholeness. But what do we do before we have received them?

We recently celebrated the resurrection of Jesus in an Easter service, and now I want to encourage you to not just celebrate His resurrection but live the resurrection life He came to give us. How do we live this resurrection life? We have to take hold of everything Jesus has given us through His death and resurrection. He took your sin and shame, everything that would ever try to come on you, and He paid your debt in full. “He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west” (Psalm 103:12). We don’t have to walk in guilt and condemnation. We are free to go and live the resurrection life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nothing has randomly happened in your life. Everything has been carefully orchestrated, even the good and the bad, the blessings and the disappointments. Even in times where we’ve failed and made mistakes, God has already planned how to restore us and get us back on course.God has ordered your steps. Your life is divinely orchestrated. Let Joel teach you how to keep moving forward even when you don’t understand. Stay in faith when people betray you. Do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. Your time is coming. What God has ordained will come to pass! No person, situation, or thing can stop what God has ordained for your life!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would you describe yourself as partially free or abundantly free? In this message, be encouraged to stand firm in the freedom that Jesus died for you to have. Hold onto that promise by faith, begin to get in agreement with God. You do not have to settle for partial freedom--abundant freedom is yours in Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Israelites were going to possess the Promised Land, God said, “Little by little I will drive your enemies out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land” (Exodus 23:30). God started small, slowly decreasing the enemies because He wanted His people to go big. He wanted them to grow their own capacity to be able to handle what He was going to give them in the future. He didn’t want the land to overtake them. He wanted them to overtake the land. God was increasing them incrementally throughout their journey. God wants to increase us, but oftentimes we overlook the small things because we want to go big. Remember, a majestic oak tree starts with a small seed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When I looked up the synonyms of “a peacemaker,” it states “a diplomat, an arbitrator, a mediator, a calmer, a soother, a go-between.” It reads like the characteristics of Jesus, doesn’t it? It’s the attitude that He walked in while He was on this earth. He made peace for us so that we can make peace for others. We can be reconcilers of peace. We have to walk with the heart of a peacemaker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was reminded that when God brought the Israelites out from their oppressive captivity in Babylon that He promised they would “go out in joy and be led forth in peace” (Isaiah 55:12). He was showing us that if we’re going to come out of dark places like she was in, if we’re going to stand under the trials of life, we have to come out with joy and walk in peace. We have to use joy to deliver us from anxious thoughts, defeat and discouragement. Joy is the key, and it’s inside us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All throughout the Scriptures, we read about people whose lives were marked by God's favor.

This is what God spoke through the prophet Isaiah: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:18-19). God is asking us, “Do you recognize the new thing I’m doing in your life?” He is saying, “Don’t wait to have faith when the situation takes care of itself because I’m doing some new things right now. Look for it! Watch and see what I will do. It is a new thing!”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Being in uncomfortable situations or circumstances is often a prerequisite for stepping into greatness. In these seasons of growth, we learn how to respond to challenges with faith instead of fear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would this world be like if we simply loved people instead of judging them? In this eye-opening message, Joel will inspire you to love like Jesus loved.

You have to put in the big rocks of your life first if you’re going to be successful. And one of the big rocks that would benefit all of us is spending time with God. Our “God rock” should be the first rock. The Scripture says, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:6). If you want God to direct your paths, if you want Him to crown your efforts with success, He says, “Put Me first.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your family or your past does not define you! You don’t have to be the most qualified, the most experienced, or come from the most influential family for God to bless you and take you higher. You may feel like you have some disadvantages that you were born into, but God is choosing you to start a generational blessing! Ephesians 1:5 tells us that God has adopted us into His own family. Because you’ve been adopted, you’re going to come into blessings that you didn’t deserve and favor that you didn’t work for. You can let go of the limits today! It’s time to step into the family of God and be covered in His favor, goodness and power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel wants to remind you to live outward. God has put people in your life on purpose so you can be a blessing to them. Every morning, we should ask, “God, what is my assignment today?

Remember, you “are God’s masterpiece” (Ephesians 2:10). You are a masterpiece in His eyes! He’s already qualified you, and He’s left nothing out of you. Keep His voice clear and free from the debris of life. Spend your life well and make it count. Our great God has put so many amazing things in you, and He “has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” How you live your life really matters!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God sometimes works behind the scenes in our lives, but there are other times when the work that He does is a public display of His goodness.

In this message, Victoria will show how to have a winning attitude with our family members. The Scripture says, “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). If we’re going to create the life that we want to live with our family, we have to keep the tone of a winner. We’re going to celebrate in the good times, and we’re going to keep that winning spirit in the difficult times. I believe that if we will maintain that consistent tone, we’re going to have a great life not only for ourselves but for our families!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Victoria will inspire you. God wants us to show up strong with encouragement for other people. The Scripture says, “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness” (Hebrews 3:13). To encourage means “to impart courage, to make fearless, to make brave.” God is saying that if we stand together like the defensive line on a football team, we will stand victoriously against the enemy’s deceit and discouragement. Encourage your family, encourage your children, encourage your coworkers, encourage your boss, encourage your pastor. Ask God to give you someone today to encourage in a meaningful and profound way. Let’s push back the darkness with encouragement every day!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He is making us. He is molding us. God has created us to do good works. God is working through us in our good works. What is a good work? When we're patient. When we choose joy. When we choose peace. When we're serving others. Within those good works God is working something in us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Victoria will encourage you to say yes to God. Second Corinthians 1:20 says, “For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] ‘Yes.’ So through Him we say our ‘Amen’ to the glory of God.” What is it that you need to say yes to today? Is it, “Yes, God, I’m going to forgive those people who hurt me”? Is it, “Yes, I’m going to believe that You can bring good out of this difficult time and show me Your favor”? Maybe it’s, “Yes, God, I’m going to reach out to those people whom You’re asking me to reach out to even though I don’t feel like I have time”? What does your yes look like?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel encourages us that the path to our purpose is found through serving, not through self-promotion. In the Bible, we read that David, who eventually became King of Israel, started in the shepherd’s fields serving his father. He was faithful in the fields for years before he ever saw promotion. When his time for promotion came, God met David in his place of faithfulness. The same is true for us today. God has things to teach us as we serve others in the “shepherd’s field” that are necessary for our destiny. Don’t discount the power of being faithful, of serving. Keep being your best where you are, knowing that you are sowing seeds into your future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Victoria will explain when you’re in emotional pain, it’s easy to shrink back in fear and allow an emotional limp to become a stronghold in your mind—a wrong way of thinking. The last thing you want to do is to step out in boldness or put yourself in a position where you can get hurt again. But you can’t allow a painful experience to trick you into thinking you’re going to have a painful life. If you find yourself shrinking back because you’re afraid you’ll be hurt again, you have to understand that God can heal what hurts! He is the mender of broken hearts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel reminds us that just as seasons of growth are necessary in our lives, so are seasons of pruning. Unless we go through the process of pruning, we will never reach the fullness of who God created us to be. During these times, we can remain at peace because Jesus told us that pruning is part of the process. God is still in control. It is often in the time of being cut back that we learn what it truly means to walk in faith and abide in God. How we react when God is refining us determines the quality of the fruit that will be produced in our lives. Keep being faithful and trusting God where you are—He is working behind the scenes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel will remind you of the power of your confession. Psalm 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” It doesn’t say let the redeemed think so, believe so or hope so.

In this message, Victoria will teach there is a commanded blessing when we have unity. The Bible says when believers dwell together in unity, “there the LORD commanded the blessing—life forevermore” (Psalm 133:3). We need to fight together for our faith, not fight with one another about our faith! It is only the love of God that brings people to the arms and saving power of Jesus Christ.God is saying it’s up to us to keep in unity and the bond of peace. That tells me that you and I must watch our words and attitudes and walk worthy of our calling under the blood of Jesus and stand humbly in God’s righteousness, not our own “rightness.” We can break the power of darkness and show people the irresistible love of the Father!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel offers hope and practical advice to those who feel like they are experiencing a dry place in life. We all have seasons when we experience heartache and loss, when we feel like we are just going through the motions of life. The key is not to allow those times to become permanent. If you are in a wilderness, make the decision to worship God when you don’t feel like it, to fix your eyes on His promises. In dry seasons, it can be easy to stay in self-pity, to get stuck in a negative mentality, but you don’t have to let the dryness get in you. Outwardly, you can be experiencing a drought, but inwardly you can tap into the endless supply that God has for you. Get your hopes up and begin to expect that rain is coming and the drought is ending.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this exciting message, Joel reminds us of the powerful verse in Exodus 34:10, “I will do great things that I have never done before anywhere on earth.” This means God is going to show you favor in ways you never imagined.

In this message, Victoria will teach us why we should not complain. God says, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 NIV). Let’s keep our mouths closed, stay the course and be grateful to God. Let’s not be faultfinders. Let’s be those who pray and petition God for change with thanksgiving in our heart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel reminds us about the power of a life lived with integrity. Integrity is the foundation that a successful life is built on. God is looking for people who are willing to live at a higher standard. Often, challenges in life are integrity tests—will you compromise when no one is watching; do you live differently behind closed doors? A life of openness and honesty is a life that God can bless. When you live with integrity, God can trust you with great things.Proving your character begins in the small things—in how you talk to your family, how you honor your commitments, the way you spend your time at work. Make the decision to live in complete integrity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Victoria will teach why Abraham was a God-made man. God promised to make Abraham into a great nation, to make his name great, and to bless all the people on earth through him. God fulfilled His promises to Abraham, and it was through the lineage of Abraham that Jesus Christ was brought to this world.Abraham was not called by God because his faith was perfect. He was called by God because he was willing to follow and believe God, and along his journey he “was strengthened in faith” through God’s promise (Romans 4:20 NKJV). That is how Abraham became a “God-made man,” and that is how we become the same! Just be willing, and He will take and make you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel will show that instead of accepting an addiction as a part of your life and allowing it to stay, you need to announce to that addiction: “It is finished! You don’t control me, and you can’t keep me from my destiny. The price has been paid. I am free. I am whole. I am clean.” When you rise up and tell the past, tell the poverty, tell the guilt, “It is finished! This is not who I am. I am blessed. I am prosperous. I am victorious,” strongholds are broken in the unseen realm, chains are loosed, and favor is released.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Victoria will teach that whatever you’re facing today, God wants you to know: “I’m right here. I’m an up close and personal God. Come close to Me and know that I will help you.”There’s no mess you’ve made that He can’t help you clean up. In Jesus, you are made right with God. There is nothing that God cannot do for you through Jesus Christ. There’s nothing on the inside of you that would make you distant from God. He loves you just the way you are!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel wants to remind you—in the natural, all you may see is your troubles and obstacles, but take another look. The Most High God is surrounding you!Psalm 91:11 says He will command His angels to watch over you. God stands watch over your life. You’re surrounded by favor, surrounded by healing and surrounded by angels. We all go through some fiery furnaces, but the fire is not the end.

In this message, Victoria will explain that our love should have wisdom. Our love should see beyond the superficial. Our love should be smart and thoughtful. Love doesn’t wait for things to happen. Love builds relationships. Love serves. Love gives, and it doesn’t just give what it wants to give. Love is willing to look into a situation and give what is needed.Pray this prayer every day: “God, may Your love abound in me more and more in depth and insight and knowledge and wisdom!”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel encourages you not to give up on the promises that God put in your heart. During seasons of discouragement, when you are tempted to try to manipulate or force God’s promise, choose to remain in faith. Nothing that you have done has disqualified you from receiving God’s promise—His mercy is greater than any mistake. God’s timing is always strategic. If you haven’t yet received what God has promised, know that He hasn’t forgotten about you and He hasn’t abandoned you. He is positioning you to receive the God-sized promise that is often even greater than what you have asked for. Even if you find yourself outside of God’s timing, He is merciful to re-align us with His plan the moment we ask. Remain steadfast in faith as God works behind the scenes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Victoria will explain that the God has has called us to always show respect to others. The Scripture says that “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and…he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him” (Acts 10:38 NIV). He was empowered to do good. And in doing good, He brought healing everywhere He went. The good news is that you and I have been anointed to do good as well, whether we feel loving or not! We’ve been empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring healing to people and to promote the good news of Jesus Christ!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Joel encourages you to develop relationships with people who will propel you into your destiny. Whenever you are connected with people who are living out the dreams you have for your life—who are successful, who are blessed—your vision for your life will begin to expand.

We’ve all been through disappointments and unfair situations. Because of negative things of the past, even mistakes we’ve made, it’s easy to have the wrong image of ourselves.

Joel wants to help you gain a new vision and understanding of who you are, not thinking about what you were, what you’ve been through, or the mistakes you’ve made.
