Joel Osteen (March-29-2024) Daily Devotional: Not by Might - Today's Inspiration Word.

Today's Scripture: Zechariah 4:6, NKJV - This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.

Today's Word: You may be feeling worn out, just trying to make it through your days. But God is about to breathe new life into your spirit, new passion into your dreams. It won’t happen by your might or power, but by the Spirit of the living God. He’s going to make things happen that you couldn’t make happen, bring things out of you that you hadn’t known were in you. He’s going to give you a greater anointing, greater talent, greater opportunities. You’re going to see a new level of strength, a new level of stamina, a new level of endurance. What used to bother you is not going to bother you anymore. What used to be too much is going to be easy to overcome. Where you used to be intimidated and fearful, there’s going to be a boldness to step up to who you were created to be. 

You have not seen your best days. You have not accomplished your biggest dreams. You have not run your best race. Get ready for explosive blessings that catapult you ahead. 

Prayer for Today: Father, thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit in my life that is so much greater than all of my might and power. Thank You that You are coming to equip and empower me in ways I don’t even know I need. I believe Your Spirit will lift me up to become all You created me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Joel Osteen - Sermon: Time Is On Your Side. Sometimes it can feel like we've lost time we can't get back. But God knows how to restore you. He's not just going to deliver you from the difficult season; He's going to make up for the time you lost. I want to talk to you today about time being on your side. We've all been through seasons in life where it feels like we've lost time.

Joel Osteen (March-28-2024) Daily Devotional: Out with the Old - Today's Inspiration Word. 

Today's Scripture: Isaiah 61:3, NKJV  -   To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

Today's Word: When someone hurts you, takes advantage of you, or breaks their promise to you, if you keep thinking about it, you’re letting them continue to hurt you. Don’t give them your power. You have to let it go. Give it to God. He saw what they did. He saw your tears and heartache, and He knows how to pay you back for the wrongs. He has beauty for the ashes, but you have to let go of the ashes before you can see the beauty. God says, “You give me the ashes, you quit dwelling on the hurts, you forgive them, you move forward with your life, and I’ll give you the beauty. I’ll give you the oil of joy and a garment of praise. That old spirit of heaviness has to go.”  

The new thing God is going to do for you is going to be supernatural. The new people, the new opportunities, the promotion, healing, and influence that He has for you will be better than you ever dreamed. Get ready for the beauty. 

Prayer for Today: Father, thank You that the past is over and done and I can quit dwelling on it. Thank You that You had a purpose for the good and the bad of my past and that I can let it go and move forward. I believe You are giving me beauty for ashes and the oil of joy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
 

Joel Osteen - Sermon: You're Coming Out. We all face situations that look permanent in our health, relationships and careers. It’s easy to think that’s the way it will always be. In this exciting message, let Joel give you the faith tools to move into that next chapter in life. You may be walking through a valley, but know this: it’s not your destiny to stay there. Build your faith with this motivating message. Psalm 84:6, says, "Passing through the valley of weeping, you will find pools of blessing." When you’re in the valley, if you’ll stay in faith knowing that God has something better, He’ll take those tears and turn them into pools to refresh you. You’ll have the strength you need for every situation. You will come out! I want to talk to you today about your coming out. We all face situations that look permanent in our health, our relationships, our career. It's easy to think that that's the way it's always going to be. I'll always struggle with this addiction. I'll always have to deal with this depression. I'll always be at this same level. I'll never break out of the rut, do something great. But just because it seems permanent to us doesn't mean that it's permanent to God. God doesn't allow you to get into anything that He can't bring you out of. 

Joel Osteen (March 27, 2024) Daily Devotional:No Limits.

Today's Scripture: Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalm 78:41, NKJV

Today's Word: when God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, He told them that they would make it into the Promised Land, but along the way through the wilderness they had delays, setbacks, and opposition. They got discouraged and started complaining. “What are we going to eat? How are we going to survive? The people in the land look like giants. We don’t have a chance.” The whole time, God was whispering, “I’m in control. I have provision for every season. I’ll defeat those enemies for you.” But they let the doubt and what they saw talk them out of what God promised. They limited God, and that generation never went in.

What we do in the face of doubt and negative voices telling us God’s promises are not going to work out will determine whether we see the fullness of our destiny. God allows us to be in situations and puts things in our spirit that are too big for us to work out on our own. Let what God says override the doubt, and believe that it’s still going to happen.

Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that You are the Holy One of Israel, and You are not limited by what limits me. Help me to remember that You can do the impossible when I’m tempted to doubt and listen to negative voices. I believe that what You say is still going to happen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Joel Osteen (March-27-2024) Daily Devotional: You’re on the Way - Today's Inspiration Word.

Today's Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:10, NKJV  - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain. 

Today's Word: Too many people go through life with this nagging feeling that something’s wrong inside. Someone has said, “I’ve discovered the enemy. It was me.” Are you your enemy? Are you defeating yourself, limiting your dream, sabotaging your relationships—all because you don’t like yourself? You have enough people and circumstances against you, so don’t be against yourself. Don’t think of everything you don’t like about yourself or relive your mistakes. “I’ve done so many wrong things. I am so undisciplined. I got angry yesterday.” Instead of focusing on what’s wrong with you, start focusing on what’s right with you. You have weaknesses, you’ve made mistakes—we all have—but there’s a lot more right with you than there is wrong. 

Quit beating yourself up for past mistakes, quit dwelling on your flaws, overanalyzing your weaknesses. You’re not a finished product. God is still working on you. By His grace, He’s changing you from glory to glory. Have the attitude: “I’m okay with where I am while I’m on the way to where God is taking me.”

Prayer for Today: Father, thank You that my life is in Your hands—not just my strengths and gifts, but my weaknesses and shortcomings. Thank You for the promise that You are changing me from glory to glory. I declare that by Your grace I am what I am today, and I’m on the way to where You’re taking me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Joel Osteen - Sermon: Shining Brightly. What would others learn about God by simply observing your life? To many, you may be the only “Bible” someone reads. Let this eye-opening message remind you of what 2 Corinthians 5:20 says about us, that “we are Christ’s personal representatives.” Learn practical tools on how to go out each day and represent God in a great way! Grow in your witness as you grow in your joy, love and purpose! Let your life be your message as you shine brightly each day wherever you go. I want to talk to you today about shining brightly. How you live your life is sending a message to those around you. More than your words, more than what you say, people are watching how you live, how you respond to adversity, how you treat others, how consistent you are. When you go out each day with a smile on your face, you're kind, you're in a good mood, you're always doing things for others, that's one of the best witnesses you can have. Our actions speak much louder than our words.

Joel Osteen (March 26, 2024) Daily Devotional: Joy in the Journey.

Today's Scripture: You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. Psalm 4:7, ESV

Today's Word: too often we’re going to enjoy life when we accomplish a goal, when the kids are raised, when our spouse changes, when we get the promotion. Our joy is always in the future, when we cross another finish line, so we’re always rushing to the next thing. The problem is there’s always something that keeps us upset. The enemy would love to deceive us into enduring life but not enjoying life. Having children but not enjoying them. Being married but unhappy about our spouse’s flaws. Having a house, a job, and opportunities, but always having some reason we’re not happy.

The key is to find joy in the journey. You’re not there yet, you’re still waiting for things to improve, still believing for that promise, but in the meantime you’re enjoying where you are while you’re on the way to where you’re going. You can do that because the Scripture says that the joy of the Lord, the joy He puts in your heart, is your strength. Keep Him first place, and you’ll always have His joy.

Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that You have a destination for my life as well as a journey to enjoy while I’m getting there. Thank You that You are my joy and that in Your presence is the fullness of joy. I declare that I will walk with You and enjoy the people and blessings You have given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Joel Osteen (March-26-2024) Daily Devotional: Unsheathe Your Sword - Today's Inspiration Word,

Today's Scripture: Hebrews 4:12, NKJV - For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. 

Today's Word: What’s holding you back? Are there areas where you’re complacent? Are you just accepting a weakness, waiting on God to do something, when God is waiting on you? Don’t just sit around in weakness talking about how life is not fair and how you’ll probably always struggle. Talking defeat brings more defeat. Talking about the weakness will keep you weak. God has given you a sword that can break powers that are holding you back. Get the Word of God out. Start believing again, start expecting His favor, start declaring what He says about you.

The Scripture says, “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” You have a powerful sword that can unleash your dreams, unlock your potential, and thrust you to a new level. Take it out of its sheath and start swinging it: “I am blessed. I am healthy, redeemed, forgiven, and favored. I am more than a conqueror.” If you keep swinging your sword like that, you’ll see God do things that you couldn’t do. You’ll see favor, breakthroughs, and new levels of your destiny. 

Prayer for Today: Father, thank You for Your Word that is living and powerful and for the precious promises that are working in my heart. Thank You that I can get my believing in line with what You say and then speak it out and thank You for what it will accomplish. I am going to unsheathe my sword and take new ground. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Joel Osteen Watch  Sermon: Don't Lose Your Joy. Your joy is what’s going to help you keep believing and keep standing strong. When you hold to your joy, you’re showing God that you trust Him. You have to get your joy back, so you’ll have the strength to step into the new things God has for you.
