The God Who Overrules - Joel Osteen

Do you feel stuck or restricted today because of a past mistake, an addiction, a health matter you’re desperate to see change or a situation you can’t control? We all face limiting situations, but the good news is that God can overturn areas where we feel blocked from moving forward and living our fullest lives.
The Psalmist said in Psalm 9:3&4, “My enemies turn in retreat, they are defeated before you. For you have judged in my favor.”
Let Joel show you in this powerful message how God desires to deliver you from powerful enemies. Whether you’re battling an enemy of sickness, depression, fear, lack or struggle- get ready, God is about to judge in your favor. What has stopped you in the past is going to stop you no more. Let this message help you step into a new level of destiny and wholeness as you break past barriers with God’s help.

God overruled when i grew up in a sadistic childhood, then He overruled when i was raped, then again when i entered 2 unfulfilled marriages, and again as i survived 2 cancer episodes. He continues to overrule all the enemy's onslaught. Praise Jesus.

God was watching over me in 1997 when i wrecked my car drunk. Had my seatbelt on and still hit the steering wheel. Was told after the wreck that i'm lucky i was alive. I walked away from it and never went to the ER

[@chinyeredaniel8678]

I am at a battered women shelter and the women here make it so hard for me because I have recently became born again. I used to use drugs and they constantly tell me that my sobriety will not last that I am human. I believe God has deliver me and that I am whole, please pray for my protection in a place where women should be bonding together but instead it's just the opposite.

Shirley Cain So sorry for your loss ❣❣❣❣

[@shirleycain6405]

it took some years to recover but God said go and tell because when I found him he was lying on the exit wound, I should have been looking at the exit wound but God said I saw him that way to save me! This was also the the time I had given up going to see medical examiner regarding his report that he shot himself. my question was how can he shoot himself in the head and lay on the exit wound that's the way I saw it. But when I was praying to die when I lay down, GOD SAID, NO YOU SAW HIM laying that way to save you. NOW GO AND TELL GOD IS STILL WORKING MARICLES!

[@rosemaryprior7970]

God has given you a powerful ministry. There are a lot of resources available to you.We don't talk about Grief enough. I know there are Grief Counselors who have the passion and education to help you. We as a people need to do more to learn coping skills to help ourselves and others. . Whatever the circumstances you have loss someone that you birthed.As a Mother I will join those angels that are praying for you. A women's ministry should welcome a healing circle facilitated by YOU. I love the song" I Need You To Survive"by Juanita Bynum. I have used it as a theme for a workshop and a moment of positive reflection. Minister Cain , YOU GOT THIS And God HAS GOT YOU!!!. [e-mail]

If I had not have gone through many afflictions before finding my son that way I would have lost my mind. Other Afflictions: grew up in a violent household but my father would beat my mother and she was in and out of a mental hospital what they called at that time nervous breakdown. he would also beat my oldest sister when she died she died with many scars on her body. when my father would whip us it wasn't a whipping it was a betting! my sister and I was going to the store we didn't make it a man walked up put a knife to my neck make my sister obey and said that he would kill me if she didn't keep walking we ended up in a cellar where he threatened to kill the other one if the other screamed. he held a knife to my throat, but God we escaped and ran to a house not knowing that it was the house of the head of the Police Department. Married a man just like my father. 1. He beat me, went through what my mother went through, almost lost my eyesight my right eye the left side of my face he hit me so hard it broke open side of my mouth but it was stitched up. Married man that was introduced to me by my sister, she had married the brother I ended up with arsenic poisoning which almost killed me. I had big black blotches in my face, crippled on my right side, couldn't answer you if you had of asked me anything. But God set me to a doctor who worked for the FBI and she did a hair analysis and found out it was arsenic poisoning the reason I was dying. This crippled me on my right side, But God! if doctor hadn't of done hair analysis I would have died. But God! there's more afflictions however it would be too long for me too tell it all right now. But God walk me through them all to be awesome testimony for others. so when God said to me go and tell God is still working MARICLES! the arsenic poisoning Cooper to be on my right side but if you see me now you can see no signs of any of that God restored back to me the ten years the Locust stole from me. BUT GOD!

I thank God for this uplifting message and When I pray at night I thank God for PastorJoel Osteen and his family alsoI I thank my Heavenly Father for Lakewood Church’s broadcasting the message of God’s word it has made such a difference in my life. I have epilepsy and Lupus but by the grace of God’s mercy I am also a cancer survivor I pray that through Lakewood’s broadcasting that pastor Osteen is able to reach other people who like me had no way to go to church because I can’t drive one of main prayers is for others to here God’s word. Now God has blessed my mother and myself by out of no where it seemed liked we get to go to church in our community we couldn’t afford a car to get to church but God overruled that problem God made a way for us to get to church through one of my mother’s friends she gave my mom her car and she got her another car. God is so good and loving,I Love God so much and I know he has got more wonderful blessings and favor in store for me and my family it’s like the pastor said. God knows every unfair thing that has happened to us in our lives and God in his good grace will make it up to us until our cups run over. I Love my God so much no I don’t have a lot of earthly possessions but the one thing that I do have is my wonderful God and he is all I need thank you Lakewood Church for bringing me God’s word to me through your broadcasting program I hope and pray that it will help more people prays God

Lord Jesus thank you for being by my side every step of the way, helping me manage my condition so successfully, that even though it is progressing it is barely apparent and has not harmed me in any serious way. Please lead me to those you have anointed to support me, protect and show me away from those who lacking the wisdom to help, speak discouraging words over me. Bless all those who have helped and supported me along the way. Give me wisdom and discipline to continue to take good care of myself. Protect me from giving up on my self care due to fatige, impatience.or pessimism. Glorify yourself in my healing and restoration, as well as for others who live with these rare conditions, that we may then give you all glory. Holy is your name. Amen.
