- 74Be an Extravagant Giver - Victoria OsteenBe an extravagant giver of what you have. Have the mentality that says, “I’m never empty-handed.

- 76Created To Do Good Works - Victoria OsteenThink about the simple things that you will do today and consider the possible effects.

- 77The Two You's - Joel OsteenThere’s a battle constantly taking place on the inside between the two yous. The Scripture calls this the battle between the flesh and the spirit.We all face the temptation to give into our flesh, but Joel will encourage you to live powerfully in the spirit. You are not walking alone; God wants to empower you to live by His spirit each day.Philippians 2:13 says, “God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey Him and the power to do what is right.” Right now the Most High God is working in you.Instead of giving into weak, insecure, compromising you, you’ll be empowered to be the strong, disciplined, confident you! Instead of walking in negativity and discouragement, you’ll be empowered to live faith filled and have big dreams again. As you learn discipline to feed your spirit, you will step into a new season of growth and favor!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 78Creating A Winning Atmosphere For Your Family - Victoria OsteenIf we’re going to create the life that we want to live with our family, we have to keep the tone of a winner. We’re going to celebrate in the good times, and we’re going to keep that winning spirit in the difficult times. I believe that if we will maintain that consistent tone, we’re going to have a great life not only for ourselves but for our families!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 79Healed Through Humility - Joel OsteenAre you ready to see your life go to a new level? Then it’s time to walk in greater humility. It takes humility to overlook an insult, to let somebody else be right for the sake of peace, and to not have your way all the time. But if you want to have strong flourishing relationships, Joel will show you how to walk in greater levels of self-control and honor those God has placed in your life. First Peter 5:6 teaches us, “Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, in due time He will exalt you.” When you walk in humility, you will see more of God’s blessings in your life! You’ll come into that due season where God does more than you can ask or think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 80God Sees You As Valuable and Significant - Victoria OsteenDon’t let your own voice distort the voice of God. You need to shake off whatever’s trying to hold you down. You may feel weak, but your weakness can be turned into strength when you take hold of God. You may feel small like a mouse, but when you grab hold of God’s strength, you have the power of an elephant! With Almighty God, you are a courageous champion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 81Ease Is Coming - Joel OsteenWe all go through seasons of struggle and difficulty but that’s not your permanent home. Just like oil is used to make things flow easier, God uses His anointing in our lives to make things lighter and simpler.Jesus said in Matthew 11:30, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Joel wants to show you in this exciting message how you’re coming in to an anointing of ease. When you come in to this ease, what used to be a struggle, will not be a struggle anymore. There’s going to be a supernatural grace, a favor that lightens the load and takes the pressure off. It may have been difficult in the past but get ready; God is about to make your life easier!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 82Feed Your Destiny - Joel OsteenWhat are you allowing in your spirit? The people you’re spending time with, what you’re dwelling on all day, the memories you’re allowing to replay— it is either inspiring you, building your faith, pushing you toward your destiny and dreams, or it’s limiting you.Joel wants to show you how to stay on course and keep your faith fed. Even in the middle of difficulties or after trauma and great trials, you can choose to feed your faith. The seeds of greatness waiting to spring forth will come out as you feed your destiny with the right things!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 83What Are You Delighting In?When you delight in the Lord, you love what the Lord loves. You love the things that God loves. You want to do what God wants you to do. You want to go where God wants you to go. When you love God, your desires are for the things of God and you give yourself to them. The apostle Paul sums up what I’m trying to say: “The heart regulates the hands” (2 Corinthians 8, MSG). What is in your heart, you put your hands to. What you’ve allowed to form in your heart, you go after because you have passion for it. Your hands and your heart work together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 84Pit PraisersAnyone can give God praise when they’re on the mountaintop, but will you praise Him in the valley? Psalm 34:1, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will continually be in my mouth.” That means in the good times and in the tough times. In this message, learn how to develop an attitude of gratitude regardless of the circumstances. As you do, you will experience God’s presence in your life in greater ways!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 85Surrounded By The Most HighDo you feel overwhelmed today? We all have times when we feel like we’re surrounded by difficulties. It’s easy to get discouraged and think, “I’ll never get out of this trouble.” But Joel wants to remind you—in the natural, all you may see is your troubles and obstacles, but take another look. The Most High God is surrounding you!Psalm 91:11 says He will command His angels to watch over you. God stands watch over your life. You’re surrounded by favor, surrounded by healing and surrounded by angels. We all go through some fiery furnaces, but the fire is not the end. The only thing it’s going to burn off is what’s holding you back. Learn how to stay in peace knowing the forces that are for you are greater than the forces that are against you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 86It's Already Set UpWhen God laid out the plan for your life, He lined up everything you need to fulfill your destiny—every good break, person, solution and healing. God is not only strategically directing your steps, He’s orchestrating everything around you and has everything lined up.This message will help you stay in peace knowing you don’t have to force the doors in your life to open. You don’t have to make certain people like you. God will place the right people in your life who are supposed to be there. If you’ll stay in faith and not let negative voices and situations talk you out of it, you’re going to come in to what God has already set up. You won’t have to go after it, it will come after you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 87God Is In Your StoryMany people think they need to change their lives before they can draw near to God. They need to clean up a few things. But we can’t clean up our own lives. We can’t bring the change God wants to bring in our lives. He had to come to us through Jesus, and He has brought us salvation through Jesus’ blood. Only Jesus Christ can change your life. There’s no mess you’ve made that He can’t help you clean up. In Jesus, you are made right with God. There is nothing that God cannot do for you through Jesus Christ. There’s nothing on the inside of you that would make you distant from God. He loves you just the way you are! Whatever you’re facing today, God wants you to know: “I’m right here. I’m an up close and personal God. Come close to Me and know that I will help you.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 88The God Who Exceeds ExpectationsYou may feel stuck today or think that it’s just another year of doing the same thing. But Joel wants to show you how God has some I never dreamed blessings in store for you where God shows up and exceeds your expectations.Take a journey through the Scriptures and see how God had sudden blessings that instantly changed lives. You’ll be inspired to have faith again for the goodness of God in your life to exceed your expectations! We think ordinary, but God thinks extraordinary. What He has planned for you is bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you’ve dreamed. Paul said in Ephesians 3:20, “God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think.” God wants to do a new thing in you this year! It’s time to believe again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 89Miracles Out of MistakesWhen we make mistakes, God doesn’t abandon us. Psalm 37:23-24 tells us, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord… Though he falls, he will not be destroyed; for the Lord will be there to pick him up.” No mistake you make can ever be too great to cancel out God’s plan for your life. Let Joel show you that it’s time to believe again in this redeeming message. No matter what you’ve done, if you will shake off guilt and move forward in your thinking and expectations, God will get you to where you’re supposed to be. Not somewhere secondary, but the best plan for your life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 90The God Who Crosses His ArmsYour family or your past does not define you! You don’t have to be the most qualified, the most experienced, or come from the most influential family for God to bless you and take you higher. You may feel like you have some disadvantages that you were born into, but God is choosing you to start a generational blessing! Ephesians 1:5 tells us that God has adopted us into His own family. Because you’ve been adopted, you’re going to come into blessings that you didn’t deserve and favor that you didn’t work for. You can let go of the limits today! It’s time to step into the family of God and be covered in His favor, goodness and power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 91Put God First In Your LifeMoses prayed this important prayer: “Teach us to number our days, that we can gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). I can hear the cry of his heart, “God, teach me and show me how to order and prioritize my day.” Remember that Moses was God’s man to lead all the Israelites toward the Promised Land, perhaps two million people. He was responsible to know how to get to the right places and find the answers to their problems. He had to hear from God for them. Perhaps you feel a little bit like Moses. Everybody’s asking you for things, and you need to fix all the problems, bring in the finances, and care for them. You feel overwhelmed. You need to pray Moses’ prayer: “God, teach me to order my day. Teach me to put a priority on the right things, to put what really matters first.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 92Seasons of SilenceWe all have times where it feels like God went on vacation. But Joel wants to show you how God uses those seasons of silence to get us prepared. When you’re hidden, you won’t see anything happening on the outside, but on the inside God’s doing a work within you. He’s creating an opportunity to grow, to get stronger, and to come up higher. You’re getting prepared to go to new levels. You may be in a season of silence right now where you feel like you’re hidden, but the silence doesn’t mean God has forgotten about you. He’s heard every prayer; He’s seen every tear. God is not preparing the blessing for you; He’s preparing you for the blessing. As you keep passing the test in the silent seasons, you’ll be prepared and ready to come into more than you can ask or think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 93Widen Your Lens of PerspectiveThis is what God spoke through the prophet Isaiah: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:18-19). God is asking us, “Do you recognize the new thing I’m doing in your life?” He is saying, “Don’t wait to have faith when the situation takes care of itself because I’m doing some new things right now. Look for it! Watch and see what I will do. It is a new thing!”Don’t focus so much on an area of your life that needs to change or on something you want to happen. Don’t make your plans around an unanswered prayer. God has new things springing up even now. They are springing up for you to have today. Can you see it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 94The Power of the SoilIf a good seed that is full of potential isn’t planted in good soil, it’s not going to become what it was created to be. In the same way, you’re a seed full of gifts, talents and potential, and you need healthy soil to bloom into everything God has created you to be. In this message, learn the importance and power of protecting your seed by choosing the right environment, friendships and mindsets. As you keep your environment healthy, you will flourish and become everything God has created you to be!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 95Take Your SeatThere is a seat of rest that has your name on it, and it’s time for you to rest. Enter into God’s rest!Many people today live overworked on the outside with no inner peace on the inside. It’s easy to want to fix things on our own, but Joel wants to show you that you don’t have to live life doing things in your own strength. This message will teach you how to have an outer rest and an inner rest as you let God work in your life and fight your battles. As you learn to live from a place of rest, you will enjoy your life more and experience greater peace and power!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 96Stay Strong in God Through JoyWhen the Israelites left Babylon and returned from captivity, they didn’t know all the difficult things they were going to face. But if they could go out with joy, that joy would be there to keep them in peace. No matter what you face, don’t let life push your joy down. Push your joy up and let it flow out and signal your victory!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
