More quotes by Joel Osteen
What others say and do cannot stop you from fulfilling your destiny. Your destiny was handed down by Almighty God.
Joel Osteen
We think when God speaks to us, there's going to be a boom out of Heaven or we're going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God's talking to us all the time. He's talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it's the Holy Spirit talking to us.
Joel Osteen
Stones of judgment, discouragement or doubt may be thrown at you. You can't stop them, but you can make the choice to keep your walls up and not let them affect you.
Joel Osteen
I've learned a simple principle: all I have to do is be the best 'me' that I can be. One day when I read the Scripture about David, that he fulfilled his purpose for his generation. I knew God spoke to me.
Joel Osteen
Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He'd leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there.
Joel Osteen
When you serve others, when you make somebody else’s life better, when you lift up people, when you help heal those that are hurting, not only are they being blessed, but you’re being blessed.
Joel Osteen
Too often we make the mistake of remembering what we should forget-our hurts, failures and disappointments -and we forget what we should remember-our victories, accomplishments and the times we have made it through.
Joel Osteen
When God puts love and compassion in your heart toward someone, He’s offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that person’s life. You must learn to follow that love. Don’t ignore it. Act on it. Somebody needs what you have.
Joel Osteen
We can all control our own destiny. And I think sometimes it's a copout to say, Well, it's this person's fault or another person's fault.
Joel Osteen
If you don't set the tone for the day, the devil will set it for you.
Joel Osteen
I don't argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus' message was simple.
Joel Osteen
Happiness is always a choice. You can't wait for circumstances to get better. You have to create your own good fortune. So look for ways to be happy every day.
Joel Osteen
When you face adversity, you need to remind yourself that whatever is trying to defeat you could very well be what God will use to promote you.
Joel Osteen
A lot of churches have not moved with the times.
Joel Osteen
I don't dislike anybody.
Joel Osteen
Don't ever say anything negative about yourself.
Joel Osteen
Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God's perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.
Joel Osteen
I'm not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody's throat: 'You're going to do it my way.' I'd rather show by example and live my life and have people say, 'You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He's got peace and joy, and he seems content.'
Joel Osteen
If you truly want to become a better you, it is imperative that you learn to feel good about yourself.
Joel Osteen
You have to make a switch. Decide today to start appreciating your spouse's strengths and learn to downplay their weaknesses. If you do, your marriage will be filled with more peace, unity and love, and you'll see God bless your marriage in greater ways.
Joel Osteen
