You’ve been through the suffering. Now get ready, the greater is coming. Get your copy of Joel's new book, Your Greater Is Coming, at: JoelOsteen.com   #YourGreaterIsComing

You shouldn’t fight every closed door, people that do you wrong, seasons that slow down. These things have to happen for you to see the best, for you to see greater favor and greater influence.

When you learn to change your name back to who you were created to be, all the forces of darkness cannot stop you. You’re a son of strength, a daughter of destiny, equipped and empowered, talented and created, surrounded by God’s favor.

The Scripture says, “A good person falls seven times but gets back up again.” You have “come back” power. God wouldn’t have allowed the adversity if it was going to finish you off. It’s just another step on the way to your destiny.

God is doing a new thing. He’s about to take you where you’ve never been. Doors that have been closed are about to open. You’re coming into a season of greater favor, greater opportunity, greater influence.

You can’t be weak and give up because it’s not happening on your timetable. Some enemies are stubborn. You have to outlast the trouble at work, outlast the slow season in your finances, outlast the difficulty in your marriage.

Get rid of the distractions. No more living to please people; no more worried about what others think; no more fighting battles that don’t matter. It’s time to get focused.

You’re about to see the God of breakthroughs, the God who suddenly shows up and puts an end to what’s holding you back. He wants you to be unquestionably free. That means there’s nothing draining your joy, nothing hindering you, nothing limiting you.

Surround yourself with those who see greatness in you, even when you don’t see it in yourself.

You don’t have to go through life worried, afraid, wondering how it’s going to work out. He will rescue you from every trap, protect you from every plague, make you invisible to the enemy.

Put God first and you'll never be last.

Some of the things that are stressing you out—you’re worried, thinking of all the reasons it’s not going to work out—you’re going to find that God has already resolved the problem. He’s already changed their mind. He’s already lined up the promotion.

God said in Isaiah 60, “I will make it happen quickly.” It may look like you’re falling behind & it’s too late to accomplish your dream. Don’t worry; God knows how to speed things up. He can do it quickly. Tune into Joel’s message today, "Fast Forward"! bit.ly/JOAPodcast

When God designed you, He took into account everything you would face—every struggle, every unfair situation, every setback—and He put in you the strength, the courage, the determination to withstand it.

You’re being released into freedom, released into wholeness, released into abundance. You’re going to see beauty for ashes, joy in the morning. It’s a new day. Chains are breaking, strongholds are coming down. It’s your time for release.

When you’re helping others, you think you’re just doing good for them, but you don’t know what God is up to. You can’t be good to others without God being good back to you. There are favor and blessings that are connected to you helping others rise higher.

When it’s your time, the Most High God will break the chains. He’s about to unlock some doors. You’re about to walk into what you’ve been shut out of: promotion, healing, freedom, the right people.

Don’t let other people numb your thirst. Don’t let what you see talk you out of what God promised. Don’t let time cause you to give up on the dream He put in your heart. Don’t let mistakes you’ve made convince you to live condemned with no passion.

There are things you’re about to step into that will seem beyond your capability, illogical, too good to be true. Don’t talk yourself out of it. With that dream comes the power, the faith, and the anointing to accomplish it.
