Quotes from Joel Osteen

What you say when the enemy is roaring is very important. Speak victory in the face of defeat, speak peace in the face of fear, speak health in the face of sickness, speak abundance in the face of lack.

God is saying today, "You need to get ready. Where you are is not permanent. I have explosive blessings coming your way. I will increase you beyond your salary. I will bless you beyond your normal income. I will suddenly change things in your life.

Know that the "Best Possible You" may not be as successful as your neighbor, but that's okay. The best you may not be as thin as your sister, but that's fine. The best you may not be as talented, as dynamic, or as outgoing as your co-worker, but that's all right, too. Be comfortable with the person God made you to be. You can't get distracted and lose your focus by comparing yourself to others. Run your own race.

It may not happen the way you expect it or no your timetable, but God is a faithful God. It will happen.

Father, thank You that You have made this day, and every day, for me to rise up and be more than a conqueror. Thank You that I can think myself happy by filling my mind with thoughts of hope, faith, and victory as I focus on You and Your promises to me. I declare that my best days are in front of me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

God is in complete control. He knows the end from the beginning. God knows what you will need a week from now, a month from now, even ten years from now. And the good news is He's already taking care of you.

The good news is, nobody can be a better you than you.

If you will stay free from a spirit of competition and just run your race, you'll not only enjoy your life more, but you'll also see your gifts and talents come out to the full. Because when you celebrate others, God will celebrate you.

God, if You say I'm blessed then I believe I'm blessed. My checkbook may not say I'm blessed. The economy may not say I'm blessed. The medical report doesn't say I'm blessed. But God, I know You have the ultimate authority. Since You say I'm blessed, my report is I am blessed.
