You have to activate your faith. You have to ask for your dreams, ask for your goals, ask Him to open doors that seem impossible, ask Him to take your family to a new level.

We’re not dealing with a weak God, a God that’s looking for ideas, hoping His plan will work out. We’re dealing with the most powerful force in the universe.

We’re so excited about Lakewood Music's latest single, Outnumbered featuring Tauren Wells! We hope this song encourages you.

Available now wherever you listen to music!

Come back to a place of peace. You don’t have to make it all happen in your own strength. God has exactly what you need for each season that you’re in.

You have to activate your faith. You have to ask for your dreams, ask for your goals, ask Him to open doors that seem impossible, ask Him to take you to a new level.

Don’t look to people; look to God. You don’t need everyone to celebrate you. People can get jealous. People can be competitive, moody. You don’t need their approval; you have Almighty God’s approval.

Instead of being frustrated, living worried, recognize God is doing something that you can’t see. Trust His timing.

When it’s a God-given desire, you won’t be moved by the opposition, by how impossible it looks, by what people are telling you. There will be a boldness and confidence to do what you know God put in your heart.

Are you fighting for anyone other than yourself? Are you taking risks, stepping out in faith, helping them to rise higher? When you’re cause-driven, you’ll see giants come down, you’ll see promotion, doors open, the right people show up.

You don’t have to strive, manipulate, be jealous of people, try to force things to work out. You don’t need what someone else has. God has your blessing already prepared.

The Scripture says, “The people who know their God will be strong and do exploits.” When you know who you’re talking to, you’ll pray bold prayers. You’ll ask for things that other people think are far out, too much, that could never happen.

If it’s not the right time, all your efforts can’t make it happen. It’s going to frustrate you. You can’t open a door that God has closed. In the same way, when it’s the right time, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has for you.

God has already put a blessing on you. People, bad breaks, how you were raised, what’s coming against you cannot stop your destiny.

God already has what you’re believing for. Instead of being frustrated, living worried, “Why is this taking so long?” Our attitude should be, “God, I trust You. I trust Your timing.”

Guys, don’t miss Lakewood Men’s Night, hosted by Joel Osteen, on Friday, May 17th at 7:30PM CT (In-Person & Online).

Join Joel, Nick Nilson, and special guest Miles McPherson for a powerful, life-changing night together to empower you to become the man God created you to be.…

Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom and all these things will be added unto you.” When you keep God first place He’ll add everything you need. The key is don’t seek the blessing; seek the Blessor. Keep Him first place and the blessings will seek you.

It may be taking longer than you thought. You don’t see anything happening. My encouragement is to let God work. He knows what He’s doing. When it’s just right, He’ll call you. He’ll make sure it gets to you.

God doesn’t cut any corners. He’s not going to give you a small blessing, a lessor version, an imitation, something good enough. No, God gives you the real thing.

You have the faith. My question is: do you have the patience? Keep traveling steadily, believing, trusting, hoping, knowing that something’s cooking. It’s taking longer because it’s going to be better than you imagined.

God hasn’t forgotten about you. He sees you doing the right thing, working hard, praying, believing. You’re passing the test. What you’re believing for has already been prepared.
