Joel Osteen - You Have a Defender

Has someone judged you, spread rumors or hurt you? Our human nature naturally wants to set the record straight and prove that those who’ve wronged us are wrong. But all this does is take up valuable energy and can keep us from being everything God has created us to be.
Instead, God wants to be your defender. In Jeremiah 51:36, God says to us, “I will defend you. I will be your lawyer. I will plead your case.” Let Joel teach you how to let things bounce off of you. You don’t have to defend yourself. You have a defender. The Most High God said He will settle your cases. Live with more freedom, joy and peace as you let God fight your battles and trust Him to protect your reputation against every unfair word.

I grew up in my grandfathers house he was a preacher and a great man. He taught me much but after he passed away while I was young my life turned away from God and I forgot what I had been taught. I am so grateful this message has reached me all the way in New Zealand. I have such a sense of peace as if God wanted this message to reach me and finally after years I feel at peace. Thank you Joel Osteen God bless you

[@jazzyk4046]

The hardest is when one's own mother or spouse talk lies about you to your face and behind you. Not only do you have to deal with the pain of being wronged by so-called loved ones, but also you have to deal with nobody believing you if you try to defend yourself, and everyone believing them because they are closely related to you. My thoughts and prayers are with those in such specific and challenging situations. Hang in there.

[@AngelaM731]

Normally god sends me signs, or warnings during a dream. But this was different. I wasn't dreaming❤ God always have a way of sending us signs. Reminding us that he's always by our side. Even in the loneliest worse moments. After being without ink for a few months I finally replaced my ink cartridges to my printer, after doing so, I immediately noticed print jobs trying to print that I didn't authorize. I immediately pressed the cancel button. But one page came through it was a print Job from you tube. That said Joel Olsteen You have a defender. I immediately said Wow, thank you god I know that Your my defender. And you're always by my side. I really needed this sign. I really just needed a reminder that he was still with me, during these trying times. I listened to this video. And my prayers were answered. To everyone who may think they are alone when people have failed them or etc. Your not alone, GOD is always there, he will never leave nor forsake you.
