Victoria Osteen

Victoria Osteen (born March 28, 1961) is the co-pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, an author, the wife of Joel Osteen, and the daughter-in-law of John Osteen.Victoria Osteen was born Victoria Iloff in Huntsville, Alabama. She lived near Marshall Space Flight Center where her father, Donald Iloff – a mathematician with General Electric – was a member of GE’s Saturn rocket project team led by German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun. In 1963, at the age of two, Osteen moved with her family to Houston, Texas when her father took a position with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). She grew up in a southern suburb of Houston, near the Manned Spacecraft Center (now known as the Johnson Space Center). Growing up, Osteen attended the Church of Christ, a relatively conservative church, where her mother, Georgine Iloff, taught Sunday school and her father served as a deacon. Osteen attended (though did not graduate from) the University of Houston where she studied psychology while working in her mother’s jewelry business. It was while working in the jewelry store that she met Joel Osteen in 1985 when he came in to buy a new watch battery.

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: The Big "If". Anytime we step out to believe God for something, the enemy tries to throw us off course with thoughts of doubt and discouragement. I believe one of the main ways he comes at us is with the word "if."

Victoria Osteen - Watch Sermon: Learn to Wait Well. Sometimes in the waiting, we can be tempted to worry. Your mind can wander. Today, God is saying, "Trust Me in the stages of waiting. Believe that I have your best interest at heart!"

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: You've Been Chosen! It doesn't matter who has left you out. God has chosen you!

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: Keeping Dominion. Loving your life begins by taking dominion of what's going on inside of you.

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: Love is Respect. It's no secret that life can be extremely busy at times. It's easy to get wrapped up in everything we have to do, powering through the day and checking off our "to do" lists. But if we are going to have the strong and healthy relationships God desires for us, it's important that we take time and look for ways to keep the connections strong with our friends and family.

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: About the Person Who Prays. We all want our prayers to get answered right away. When we don't see the answer immediately, we can be tempted to stop praying. I've had people ask me, "How do I know when I should give up on a prayer? My answer is always the same; never! We can never quit turning to God. If you quit talking to God, you might start looking to man, and man can never do what God can!

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: Don't Let Distractions Get You Off Course. We have to be careful about letting go of the treasure we have in our hands because we see something that looks like it might be better. We need to be faithful with what God has given us today. If you focus on what you have in your hand, if you tend to it, God will bless it and multiply it.

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: What Inspires You? Don't ever get so focused on what you want that you don't see what you already have in your hand. It's the small blessings in life that sustain us day in and day out. Look for the beauty in every moment.

Victoria Osteen - Watch Sermon: Paid in Full. Jesus Himself paid your bill on the cross two thousand years ago. Because of what He did, you can be totally free. You don't have to work to earn salvation; you don't have to strive to pay your debt. Jesus already covered it and you are free!

Victoria Osteen - Watch Sermon: What's On Your Calendar? Hope makes the expected end seem so much closer! My question for you today is "what's on your calendar?" In other words, what are you hoping for? What are you expecting? Hope is what gives our faith a target. It brings stability to our mind and emotions. Great faith comes from having great hope!
