More quotes by Joel Osteen
I think we use God's word. I think the principles that you hear Dr. Phil and some of those others talk about many times are right out of the Bible.
Joel Osteen
Don't focus on the adversity focus on God. No matter what you go through, stay in faith, be your best each day and trust that God will use it to position you for greatness.
Joel Osteen
When you're blessed, the haters come out. When you wear God's blessings well, don't be surprised if it draws jealousy out on people.
Joel Osteen
I try to teach people that I believe God wants us to be positive toward ourselves, meaning that, you know what, I like the way I look, I like the way I sound, I'm happy with what I'm doing in my career - and not always be beating ourselves down.
Joel Osteen
You didn't accidentally get your personality, looks and gifts. You were designed on purpose to be the way you are. You have what you need to fulfill your destiny.
Joel Osteen
God always wants us to be growing.
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
God has already lined up the right people for you, people that will inspire you, challenge you and motivate you. If you’ll let go of the wrong people, then the right people will show up.
Joel Osteen
We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.
Joel Osteen
When I took over from my father, he came from the Southern Baptist background, and back 40-50 years ago, there was a lot more of that.I don't believe - maybe it was for a time. But I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm there to encourage them.
Joel Osteen
Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don't think God categorizes sins.
Joel Osteen
You have to change on the inside before change will happen on the outside.
Joel Osteen
You may have had unfair things happen to you, but the depth of your pain is an indication of the height of your future.
Joel Osteen
We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
Joel Osteen
We minister the Word of God. The proclamation of the Gospel comes after individuals have opened their hearts to God and turned from themselves to others. Only then are they truly ready to hear and benefit fully from the Word of the Lord.
Joel Osteen
You don't have to tell people what they're doing wrong. They already know. Your job is to love them.
Joel Osteen
You've got to believe that God is in control of your life. It may be a tough time but you've got to believe that God has a reason for it and he's going to make everything good.
Joel Osteen
You may be sitting around waiting for God to change your circumstances. Then you’re going to be happy, then your’re going to have a good attitude, then you’re going to give God praise. But God is waiting on you to get up on the inside. When you do your part, He’ll begin to change things and work supernaturally in your life.
Joel Osteen
Being successful doesn’t necessarily make you great. What makes you great is when you reach back and help somebody else become great.
Joel Osteen
Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you're supposed to be.
Joel Osteen
