Latest / A Better Tomorrow / God Has the Final Say Joel Osteen
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You have to get to the point where you're not
- 0:02Speaker 1: moved by disappointment, not moved by opposition, not moved by
- 0:07Speaker 1: the medical report. Yes, it doesn't look good, but there's
- 0:10Speaker 1: another report. God says he's restoring health back into me.
- 0:14Speaker 1: You can stay in peace knowing that God has the
- 0:17Speaker 1: final say. This is what I had to do. I
- 0:21Speaker 1: lost my father, but I kept the faith. People said
- 0:24Speaker 1: I couldn't minister, but I kept the faith. The experts
- 0:28Speaker 1: said we'd never get the compact center, but we kept
- 0:30Speaker 1: the faith. A company filed a lawsuit to try to
- 0:34Speaker 1: keep us from moving in. I would wake up in
- 0:37Speaker 1: the middle of the night in a cold sweat, thoughts
- 0:40Speaker 1: telling me, Joel, you're going to look like a fool.
- 0:42Speaker 1: You've already told the people it was yours. What if
- 0:45Speaker 1: you don't win the lawsuit? I was tempted to worry,
- 0:48Speaker 1: live upset, but I made this decision. I'm going to
- 0:52Speaker 1: keep the faith. We saw God step in and do
- 0:55Speaker 1: what we couldn't do. You may be facing things now
- 0:59Speaker 1: and you don't see how it's going to work out.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Your finances, your health, a relationship. You could be stressed,
- 1:06Speaker 1: lose your passion. If Paul were here today, he would
- 1:10Speaker 1: tell you, keep the faith. God is still on the throne.
- 1:14Speaker 1: He has a way even though you don't see a way.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Life may have thrown you some curves, but it's not
- 1:20Speaker 1: a surprise to God. The enemy didn't somehow overtake the
- 1:24Speaker 1: plan for your life. He didn't get your steering wheel
- 1:27Speaker 1: and now he's in control. God is still ordering your steps.
- 1:32Speaker 1: He's with you in the trouble, in the sickness, in
- 1:35Speaker 1: the loss. That's a critical time. You could get discouraged,
- 1:40Speaker 1: start doubting. No, have a new perspective. God, I trust you.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I know what you have purposed for my life will
- 1:47Speaker 1: come to pass, that this setback is really setting me
- 1:51Speaker 1: up for new levels of my destiny. I hope you
