Joel Osteen - The Odds Are For You

Do you feel like the odds are against you today? Maybe you’re facing a difficult situation that doesn't look like it will ever get any better. Or, you've prayed diligently for God to answer a specific prayer, but nothing is happening.
Joel wants to open your eyes and show you in this message that something is happening. God is at work in your life and has a plan-His divine plan-to show out in your life and reveal His incredible favor and goodness in your life. But, you have to do your part and trust in God’s timing and plan. Release your faith, raise your expectancy and watch how God will miraculously turn your darkest hour into your greatest hour as the odds are shifted in your favor.
This is message #712, "The Odds Are For Your", by Joel Osteen. For more inspirational messages, visit www.JoelOsteen.com/Messages

I live in Denmark. I was an unsaved atheist watching KZbin one night, when I stumbled upon a Joel Osteen sermon. I repented and made Jesus my Lord, and now I live for Him. I can’t thank Joel Osteen enough for being God’s vessel to bring me the Gospel. ❤️ God bless Lakewood and God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Monday, on March 21st, I wasn't kind, I said , words, then through my phone, and a couple pots and pans against the wall. My papa took me to town. I was speaking of giving up . When I returned home, the electric company had shut my electricity off. I forgot to pay last month, I had been stressed and negative. Yesterday, evening, my friend Karen, called me and paid my bill. GOD, is so good to me all the time. Thanks for your prayers and being a wonderful, role model. God bless you always and your ministries

Hey all, thank you for your replies. I was praying for a baby. And now I'm a mama of a one and half year old girl. I got the notification of the replies now. So I take this moment to tell you all that even when medicines fail, relationships fail, God will never fail. God gave me a baby naturally without the help of anyone or anything at the right time. He spoke thru Joel Osteen video"Yes is coming" and also through Bible verses. I found that I was pregnant after these cues from God. God is with you all. Thank you for the prayers! I'm praying for finding a job now because I took a break to start a family. Yeah , even when odds are against us, God is with us and He will deliver us 100%!! Love you Lord!

I need to speak up. Thanks to God I am a very positive person. I have been misinterpreted. I do not live in the past. I enjoy good music. When I study it is called an addiction, when I listen to positive things is called codependency. When I use timers then I am told I need to meditate when I fact I use those timers to be disciplined. I use my channel as a radio and sometimes television. I do not get discourage. I do not go to programming to lift me up. It is only to learn. Everything in my life gets resolved thanks to God. My relationships always turn positive. I am trying to learn the word of God with your programs because it is joyous to listen to. When I spend money I am told I am irresponsable. This channel has a life of its own and I do not control it whatsoever and I don’t want to or am interested. I let go easily and for some reason I forgive easily. My heart and my soul is joy and love. I trust that everything gets resolved and it does. All the above is not because of me. I believe is God. It is impossible to label me thanks to going to the A.C. We all have different definitions of success and that is ok. The bulling to my channel and to my persona are out of line and not true. I sincerely do not need to advertise my life or demonstrate my progress. I do not like saying the fallowing but how can I be unhappy or have no hope when I go to the Oscars. I do not advertise the progress. All those positive things is not because of me. Is God. Negativity is not me whatsoever. My apologies Pastor.
