God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you're able to pay off your house. That's God shifting things in your favor.

Faith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy.

Let go of offence. Let go of fear. Let go of revenge. Don't live angry, let go now!

We live in a day that nobody's lived in before: where you can touch more people. The message I'll speak tonight and the message that I speak at home, people in India will hear. It's just an amazing day.

I do know this... I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.

See, people are watching you. Especially your children. They're taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

A good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
Joel Osteen

Indeed, it is as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one.

I want to challenge you today to get out of your comfort zone. You have so much incredible potential on the inside. God has put gifts and talents in you that you probably don't know anything about.
Joel Osteen
-
When the negative thoughts come - and they will; they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.
Joel Osteen
-
In difficult times, we're not supposed to quit believing; we're not supposed to quit growing.
Joel Osteen
-
I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you're going to have.
Joel Osteen
-
You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won't receive the good things God has in store.
Joel Osteen
-
The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go... if it's not a part of your God-given destiny.

I don't think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be.

Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
Joel Osteen
-
I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.
Joel Osteen
-
There's a belief that you're supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don't see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.
Joel Osteen
-
I say, don't try to fight your own battles because God will do it.
Joel Osteen
-
I just think that it's strong and it's important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it's about the birth of our Savior, and there's a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.
Joel Osteen
-
Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn't work today.
Joel Osteen
-
Well I think a lot of times we're putting things off and I'm going to do it later. I'm going to break this bad habit or I'm going to pursue this dream or I'm going to treat my spouse better.
