Reminder to myself: If the thought is not hopeful, positive, encouraging it is not from God. The enemy works to plant inferior seeds. This was the verse Joel mentioned: Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. What is your mind stayed on? What is your mind dwelling on throughout the day?

For years I was cut off from internet and no churches in my area teach the truth of the gospel. 9 months ago (after getting internet) I became an online member of Lakewood Church and I "attend" every Sunday. My mind has been healed of PTSD, I have been healed of arthritis and I no longer need pain medication. I am getting stronger and I know every area of my life is improving-in Jesus name!

Both of my sons are special needs and require much from me. It’s difficult to raise children alone. BUT I keep faith Lord Jesus. Even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. Jesus deliver me. 💕❤️

[@thomasward3717]

That situation isn’t ideal but there is zero faith in that prayer. Life won’t change like that. We can all pray like that about something in our lives. Start believing for change, stop complaining in your prayers so much and believe for a husband, scholarships, overabundance.

Praise be to the lord almighty alone! I want to take this time to appreciate the way God's using you to help me in both personal and spiritual life. Joel osteen brother, you are a blessed man, God loves you in a special way that no human can understand! I thank our Holy God for letting me hear his words of life through your preachings. I have one small request for you, hoping this gets your attention brother. I'm from India, I read my Bible in one of the regional languages, though your sermons are helpful to me, I find it a little difficult to follow your accent when you quote the Bible in between, certainly not complaining, it'd help much if the verses you quote appear on screen by text for native language barriers like me! More souls from india would benefit i believe. Thank you so much. May God bless you abundantly 😊
