Beating Bitterness - Joel Osteen

You can’t stop life from happening to you, but you can choose how you respond. At the office, a coworker says something that offends you. It starts off as a little seed. If you let it go, nothing will come of it. But if you dwell on it, you’ll soon be holding a grudge. Now that little seed is taking root. It starts to grow and before long it will pollute other areas of your life. That’s why Hebrews 12:15 warns “that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”
The good news is you don’t have to live with bitter roots. Ask God to show you what’s causing you to be bitter. Maybe you need to forgive somebody, maybe you’re still sour over a dream that didn’t work out, or maybe you’re still beating yourself up over a mistake you made in the past. Be honest with yourself and say, “God, help me to get this root of bitterness out of me. I don’t want to live angry and bitter. I want my passion back. I want to love again. I want to laugh again. I want to dream again. God, help me to let it go and move forward.”

Me too. I've seen miracles through his ministry/ his family's ministry... Joyce Meyer too. God has answered many very specific detailed prayers, with very specific, detailed words through these ministries, in such an astonishing way, there is no doubt God is truly working...& I also earned a science degree, & I could be a skeptical person. But I've seen miracles through Bible resources, including these ministries. What are they? They are 'life application' of the Bible; but some people do not realize this & criticize. All praise to Jesus. Some of us have had a lot against us & have needed a lot of help; miracles. I so thankful to God for so clearly seeing He cares about us, & our lives, & He is our Healer over injustice/ abuse. I think I would have been destroyed, if it were not for sermons like this one, here, about choosing the Way of Jesus, over bitterness.... a life application of the Bible. And why can we do it? Because of God's love & care, who will rise us above the harm; by trusting in God. These sermons help me to stay strong in the way of God, & not be overcome by evil, when I have dealt with massive evil assault against me & unfair things, abuse. I am so thankful Jesus has a Higher Way to face such things!!! Love you Church.

He is so very right."life is short, we may not be here tomorrow" I had a heart attack 4 yrs ago, I'm 56 now. Came out of no where, no signs, no warning at all. I have known people who just died, no warnings, nothing. There one minute gone the next. I have gone thru a horrible divorce for the past 6 years. Spent 100,000 on my attorney, my ex hid roughly 500,000 from our businesses while we were married (21yrs) she defaulted on all of our properties, businesses, she purposely ran our properties into the dirt..nothing is left. She has lied, cheated, plotted against me with a vengance now for 6 yrs. I still have primary custody of our son. God has provided me and son with all we need. We lack for nothing. I'm in a new place (spiritually) I forgive her for all she has done, I do not say bad things about her, God is our vindicator, he will make all things right. When I see her in town, I wave, I say hello. She "will not" steal my joy, I will not live bitter because of her. Life is short and fragile, be at peace, live in peace, trust God for every single thing in your life. Blessings. 😁

This sermon broke me emotionally a few weeks ago. I kept so much hurt and anger inside. I hurt so much I couldn't cry but I had become bitter and miserable. That morning I listened to this the tears started flowing. Whilst at work where the source of my anger was I constantly felt the urge to cry. I let it all out for about 5mins in the washroom. From then I felt like a burden had been lifted off me and I feel so much like my old self . I have a more positive outlook on life and it had reinforced the fact that God is working things out for me. This sermon was my breakthrough. God's blessing on you Mr. Osteen

I have come a long way with Pastor Osteen I find nothing wrong with what he preaches, ITS FOR OUR GOOD! He and Wife are not telling us to be greedy, he says to live an abundant life. I saw a comment that said he and his wife are spreading blasphemy...I dont get it. Maybe these harsh commentators need to really LISTEN to what Pastor Osteen is saying about "Beating bitterness".

God directs us to love others, even our enemies. life is fleeting on this earth compared to eternal life after this one. Following God's command, I find it ezier to pray for and bless my enemies to be saved from the power of the enemy and escape damnation.

[@samanthafernando4196]

A year ago my husband got a job in a company witch was owned by Christians and we were so happy. This had been my prayer for years to work for a Christen boss. And after an year it has turned in to a nightmare and we just don't understand why they so much mistreat people in the company. Now they do that to my husband too. Day in and out I cry and pray to God to find a job for him so he can be removed from this place. But from now on , I am going to forgive them and pray for them too. No matter how bad they treet him. Let the Almighty God be our vindicater. Thanks for the lovely message.

[@KoliFlorenceLydia]

[@paulturzio1472]

Joel touches my heart with kindness. How can any naysayer claim this is bad or self-serving in any way? Bless YOU Joel Osteen.

[@lanaofficiel4042]

I never see a Bible in Joel's hands but I enjoy watching him and he does make me smile. I love his Mama, Dodie, and I love her testimony of healing and I love her teachings of the healing scriptures. I believe that the Osteen family has God's Favor on their side. Paul Osteen, Joel's brother, a talented surgeon, has also provided medical care to multitudes of poor people in Africa. Regardless of other people's criticism, the Osteen family are loyal to the Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ; and that's all that really matters.

[@hsneed8879]

Brother and sisters please play for super natural strength will get me through recovery and home to my daughter and grandbabies! Please pray in Jesus name!

[@aprendainglescomeduardocon1230]
