- 49God's Got This - Joel OsteenWe all have things that come against us and experience things we don’t understand. It’s easy to live uptight wondering how everything is going to work out. It we’re not careful, we’ll get discouraged, live worried, and not believe things are going to change. But there’s a simple phrase you have to get down in your spirit - God’s got this. Joel wants to teach you in this encouraging message that you don’t have to figure it all out. In the natural, you may not see a way, but that’s okay, we serve a supernatural God. He sees what’s happening in our lives and already has a solution. Instead of living frustrated, learn to let go and let God. When you turn it over to Him and say, “God, I know You’ve got this. I know You’re in control,” not only will you feel the heaviness lift off of you, but God will make things happen that you couldn’t make happen on your own.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 50Let The S-O-N Shine On You - Victoria OsteenJesus said, “I am the Light of the world. So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path” (John 8:12 TLB). Is He lighting your pathway, or is there something blocking the Light? It’s time to let the Light shine in. Don’t keep stumbling around in the darkness. Get rid of whatever is blocking the Light and let His presence shine on you and light your pathway to a blaze!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 51Faith For The Middle - Joel OsteenWe don’t have to work out our plans, make them happen in our own strength, or become frustrated when they’re not happening the way we thought. We can stay in peace knowing that the God who created the universe has promised He will work out His plans for our lives.Have you felt like giving up on something because it’s too hard or taking too long? Let Joel show you how to have faith for the middle. What God has placed in your heart is already in route. The process has already been started.

- 52God Will Crown Your Efforts - Victoria OsteenHave you ever felt as though you didn’t have the strength to overcome a challenge you’re facing? I want to encourage you today that God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV). That means that whatever you’re facing today, God has all the strength you need for it. He’s saying, “My grace is sufficient for today. Everything you need is here today.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 53It Is Finished - Joel OsteenInstead of accepting an addiction as a part of your life and allowing it to stay, you need to announce to that addiction: “It is finished! You don’t control me, and you can’t keep me from my destiny. The price has been paid. I am free. I am whole. I am clean.” When you rise up and tell the past, tell the poverty, tell the guilt, “It is finished! This is not who I am. I am blessed. I am prosperous. I am victorious,” strongholds are broken in the unseen realm, chains are loosed, and favor is released.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 54Be Vulnerable - Joel OsteenIt’s easy to go through life trying to impress people, to show them that we’re strong, that we have it all together. But if you’ll humble yourself, empty out your pride, your fear, your doubts and get real, God will help you to grow. You’ll come up higher.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 55Know Who You Are In Christ - Victoria OsteenIn Genesis 1, the first thing that God says about you and me is that He created us in His image. Having His image and likeness inside of us was meant to be our source of strength and confidence. The question is, have you allowed the enemy and things that have happened to you distort the image of God in your life? You need to get your true image back!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 56Overcoming Weariness - Joel OsteenAs we go through life’s many seasons, it’s easy to grow tired and weary. But when we are weary, we don’t enjoy the greatest blessings in our lives like we should. Galatians 6:9 encourages us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Find refreshment and motivation to keep on going and stay renewed and inspired no matter what you may be facing today. Discover how to have balance physically, spiritually and emotionally so you’ll have the strength to be a blessing to others and accomplish your life purpose full of peace and joy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 57Abraham Was A God-Made Man - Victoria OsteenWhen we hear about a “self-made man,” it usually refers to someone who had very little and became wealthy and influential all on his own. Abraham, the father of our faith, also became wealthy, influential, and left an amazing legacy for the whole world, but his label reads a “God-made man.” Abraham wears the label “God-made man” because he willingly trusted God to take him to a land unknown to him, and he trusted God to make him fully into the person He created him to become. Abraham was not called by God because his faith was perfect. He was called by God because he was willing to follow and believe God, and along his journey he “was strengthened in faith” through God’s promise (Romans 4:20 NKJV). That is how Abraham became a “God-made man,” and that is how we become the same! Just be willing, and He will take and make you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 58Anchored to Hope - Joel OsteenThere will always be something trying to get us to pull up our anchor of hope—bad breaks, delays, disappointments. In these tough times, when life doesn’t make sense, when your prayers haven’t been answered as quickly as you’d like, it’s easy to throw in the towel and give up, but you have to make sure to keep your anchor down and hope in the Lord.Let Joel show you how to have hope during all things in this empowering message. When you’re anchored to hope, God will make things happen that you could never make happen on your own. When you have your hope in Him, the scripture says you’ll never be disappointed. You may have some temporary setbacks, but when it’s all said and done, you’ll come out better than you were before if you don’t give up your hope!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 60When the Water Breaks - Joel OsteenJust like a pregnant woman’s water breaking indicates that she is about to give birth, when you face difficulties and trials, it's a sign you're about to give birth to something new.Joel will show you in this encouraging message how God uses our trials and difficulties to bring us to a new level. Without the water breaking, we would stay stuck where we are in life. We wouldn’t see the fullness of what God has in store for the future. The process of pain and loss may be uncomfortable, but the purpose is always worth it in the end. What you give birth to will be greater than anything you may lose. Let this message anchor your faith and give you hope during discouragement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 63Designed to Run - Victoria OsteenWhen you’re in emotional pain, it’s easy to shrink back in fear and allow an emotional limp to become a stronghold in your mind—a wrong way of thinking. The last thing you want to do is to step out in boldness or put yourself in a position where you can get hurt again. But you can’t allow a painful experience to trick you into thinking you’re going to have a painful life. If you find yourself shrinking back because you’re afraid you’ll be hurt again, you have to understand that God can heal what hurts! He is the mender of broken hearts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 67We're Wired With God's Power - Victoria OsteenCan you imagine a house fully wired with electricity, but with the main power switch turned off? It wouldn't make sense to live without power when it's available to us.When you make Jesus the Lord of your life, you become fully connected to your source of power. But you have to turn that switch on. Romans 10:19 says to believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord.

Proverbs 18:4 says, “A person’s words can be life-giving water.” Proverbs 15:4 says, “A gentle tongue brings healing.” When we think of healing, many times we think of praying for people for healing.

Learn how you can change the atmosphere in your home and help break the chains that are holding your loved ones back.When you’re kind, encouraging and free with your compliments, when you don’t just think something good but your take time to verbalize it in the lives of those around you, not only are you being a healer, but you help others become everything God has created them to be.
