Joel Osteen - Who's Stealing your Joy?
Who's Stealing your Joy?
Are you a people pleaser? Always giving, always encouraging, always rescuing? God does not want you to sacrifice your happiness to keep somebody else happy. That's what I call "a false sense of responsibility." When you free yourself from that—and give those people to God—you'll not only have more time and energy, but I believe you'll be happier and better able to fulfill God's plan for you.
Joel Osteen Quotes
A good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.

A merry heart is good like a medicine.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
Do all you can to make your dreams come true.

If Jesus were here today, he wouldn't be riding around on a donkey. He'd be taking a plane, he'd be using the media.
If we say it long enough eventually we're going to reap a harvest. We're going to get exactly what we're saying.

Only God can look at somebody's heart.
People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
Prospering just doesn't have to do with money.
To me, we're marketing hope.
We were old sinners - but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.
When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.
You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.
You can be happy where you are.
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

#360 - Joel Osteen - Your Time is Coming
God has placed dreams and desires in each of our hearts. Are you believing for something that seems to be taking a long time? Are you tempted to quit? Maybe you’ve already given up on that dream. Today is a new day—it’s time for you to get your fire back! It may be taking a long time, but God is faithful! He promises to complete the work He began in your life. Don’t fall into the temptation to get complacent and think it’s never going to happen. Right now, whether you see it or not, God is working behind the scenes and arranging things in your favor. When you develop an attitude of expectancy, you open the door to His miracle-working power in your life. Decide today to declare His Word and speak words of victory. Start declaring today, “My time is coming...God is working behind the scenes on my behalf…I will fulfill my destiny…I will fulfill the plan God has for my life!” As you declare and expect God to move, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. Keep expecting and waiting for the appointed time. As you do, you’ll step into the victorious destiny God has planned for you!
