Back in Bible days, there were these famous schools of the prophets, but some of the ones Jesus chose didn't come through that route - and not to say that they weren't good, but I'm comfortable.

More quotes by Joel Osteen
Your best days are still out in front of you
Joel Osteen
For a while... to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don't want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen... I don't want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.
Joel Osteen
This is a day that God has given me. It's a gift. I can never relive this day. And I'm not going to live it angry, in unforgiveness, and mad at somebody. If I don't get my way, I'm going to believe that God's still in control.
Joel Osteen
We all have unfair situations and things we don't like. You can get bitter, discouraged and sour, or you can see it as fertilizer and say, “ This difficulty is not going to defeat me it's going to promote me. It's not going to hinder me it's going to help me.” Don't just go through it, grow through it.
Joel Osteen
Bad habits are easy to develop but difficult to live with. Good habits are difficult to develop, but easy to live with. If you are willing to be uncomfortable for little while, so you can press past the initial pain of change, in the long run, your life will be much better.
Joel Osteen
You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors... What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you'd come to closed door number eight and you'd think, 'Great, I got another one out of the way'... Keep moving forward.
Joel Osteen
I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don't have to answer to them I have to answer to God.
Joel Osteen
God wants you to be a winner, not a whiner.
Joel Osteen
Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life.
Joel Osteen
If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.
Joel Osteen
It may look like the difficulty is going to defeat you. But you need to keep telling yourself, This sickness can't take my life. This cancer can't defeat me. No bad break, no disappointment, no accident can shorten one second of my divine destiny.
Joel Osteen
The Gospel is called the good news. My message is a message of hope, that's God's [message] for you.
Joel Osteen
I'm not. I don't – I don't dislike anybody. Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world. But my faith is based on what I believe the scripture says, and that's the way I read the Scripture.
Joel Osteen
People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.
Joel Osteen
Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world.
Joel Osteen
If it’s not meeting a need, turn it into a seed. Remember, we will reap what we sow. When you do good for other people, that’s when God is going to make sure that His abundant blessings overtake you.
Joel Osteen
God doesn’t care what you’re not. He cares who you are. You are His, you come from the Master, and when He adds His extra to your ordinary and His super to your natural, nothing is impossible for you.
Joel Osteen
I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
Joel Osteen
God wants to increase you financially, by giving you promotions, fresh ideas and creativity
Joel Osteen
I try to live what I teach. A lot of things come against us in life, but we should try to find something to be grateful for, and see each day as a gift.
Joel Osteen
