Very powerful message! I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as I’ve been getting super anxious and shaky when speaking or performing in front of a lot of people. What’s been helping me feel less anxious about it is telling myself that it doesn’t matter if people see that I look or sound nervous. They might think less of me because this but who cares? They don’t know me. They just met me. I know I’m competent. I’ve proven it to myself through training, practice, and experience. And I know who God says I am: wonderfully and beautifully made. So I don’t need to feel scared of showing people that I look and sound nervous. I don’t need to care about what they think. And if I truly don’t care about what they think, then I won’t feel scared in front of people at all anymore. It’s all a circle and it starts with letting go of the approval of others and seeking the approval of God. With him there is freedom, opportunity, peace, and joy!
The entire city of Salem, Or has turned their backs on me since my move to Los Angeles. I will not be moved. I didn't need their approval to move here. Christ brought me here and Jesus will deliver me to the next level. Oregon would of lived to have me stay there and continue my complacency and decline. But it wasn't up to them. It was up to me & Jesus Christ!! Love Ya Brother Joel!!
Thanks for your powerful messages, I think God send you to pick me up,whenever I am contaminated inside from this world. God help meto dexofy and flush all that dirt out through your messages.
This message so touching, I thank Yahweh God through Lord Jesus Christ to have you Joel Osteen in this Generation, you're changing Lives and the Nations at large. God Bless you always and your family.
My name is Angelia God knows who I am I'm asking for anybody out there to pray for me that I'm a recovering addict I've been sober since December 2nd and I'm looking for a jobs so please just keep me in your prayers that God keeps giving me strength and opens up doors for me and brings people in my life thank you and God bless everybody
Thank you so much for your sermon. A friend of mine told me to listen to you. All my life I've been a people pleaser and I'm addicted to approval. I'm in recovery now for quite a long time and they talk about "GOD" or a higher power, myself I was born catholic and went to church every Sunday. I believe in God. I seem to have a problem because I don't feel him or hear him like many people in AA, when they say they have close contact with him. I pray to him, but I can't feel or hear him, maybe you can give me some pointers. Thank you!!
Thank you God for waking me up this morning. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for these words of inspiration that is spoken by Pastor Joel from your Holy bible. I’m so blessed Heavenly Father that you are allowing me to hear these amazing words of encouragement thank my Lord n Savior Amen!!
Amen 🙏❤️. This made me think of this line in Robert Frost's poem- The Road Not Taken, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
It Is Pride Which Proves The Fragility of Man’s Ego It is The Masquerade of Inner Strength, For Both Are Exposed When Others Opinions Begin To Drive an Individuals Decision Making. The True Strength Inner Strength In Man Stems From God’s own Humility. This Is Almighty Power Beyond All Ego For God Does Not Demand We Glorify Him In Selfish Desire Its His Lack of egotistical and Self Seeking Love Which is Pure Light In All Which We Are Able To Witness that Commands His Glory in All Humility Regardless of How We Wriggle Under His Hand…. Let Everything That Has Breath Praise Him❤
Thank you Joel I’m from Argentina living in Canada and I listen you in Spanish and English as well, you touch my heart and heart of my husband. Thank you God bless you.
Dear Father thank You that You love us as Your children. Thank You that You are for us and not against us. We are grateful for the blessings You give us each day in Jesus name thank You that You bless us as we serve You Amen. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! praise the Lord! 💞 Psalm 150: 6
Please help me to pray my brother who is ill and my mother to give her more patience and strength to take care of my brother, God heal my brother, Pastor Joel thank you so much for inspiring us always God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
As Christians, we receive our theology from the Bible and nowhere else. Many believers struggle with health issues, unaware of the tools provided by God in His design that can help them to heal and maintain their bodies for His glory. 🎉 blessing and prayers
Wow! another encouraging word from the Bible. Now I understand! that it's not the people's approval and opinion that leads your destiny. it's God. 🤔😆 Amazing!
This is a very common problem we face. I have been addicted to approval for most of my life but recently God has been calling me out to greater things and I have been scared to follow. This week I finally decided to follow Gods plan for my life. I feel free and I realized I had been the one stifling my happiness. God is amazing. I’m glad I have almost weaned myself totally off APPROVAL ADDICTION. God be praised! Amen
I've been inspiréd by Joël Osteen and thé entire Lakewood family. My faith grows, my thoughts about people and myself, my ways has complètly changed ! I'm a New born in Christ Jesus ! Hallelujah ! God, we ask you that you continue to bless and usé your son Joël mightily as he brings thé world to your kingdom in Jesus mighty name Amen
I dont thinkni for. But I like Stephen covers discussion on what center u live out of, self centered, family centered, work centered, church centered. Joel is right God centered....none other is right.
I do not need the approval of anybody. God almighty who is the creator and the controler of the univers has already approved me and my Destiny in Jesus Christ name I pray and I give thanks Amen
Wow...its been great to hear this message now I can't talk in the crowd thinking of what people will say about my look or my voice..now I'm wearing the approval of Almighty God for what he says I am...Thank you pastor Joel
I needed this word so so much, I don't know why peoples approval and wanting them to like me has such a hold over me till it keeps me up at night. I pray to the Lord to break every single chain and to live absolutely only for him, to know Gods opinion is the only one that matter even if other people don't understand.
This is a great message and I follow it the best I can. I refuse to listen to people telling me what I should do or who I am etc. I demand respect. I am a risk taker at times. God bless you Joel OSTEEN. ❤
FOPO Fear of Other People's Opinion. Wow. Care not what other people think. Care for what God thinks. Play not, up to people. Play up, to the Lord God Almighty. Be of a clear conscience. The lack of approval can be simply a test. Thank you, Pastor Joel Osteen. You're always the one to aptly put divine perspective on daily practical Godly ways.
Thank you 🙏❤️ I love this sermon!! I have lived this way for 49 years now and this message has been a great eye opener for me! I'm going to try to change to my best to not look for humanly approval but look for my heavenly father approval
Thank you Joel/Holy Spirit for your ministry. The person who you describe use to be me. As I listen to you and others faith filled believer old things are passing away I am a new creature in Jesus Christ. My mind is being renewed in the word of GOD, JESUS is His name. Thank you for serving the LORD.
I sing The Word of God. But I suffered from F.O.P.O, Fear of people's opinions. I never knew this had a name. I'm tried of being controlled by people that don't even care about me. Thank you God. Bless me to seek your opinion Jesus. Amen
It is super great preaching. The core idea of the sermon is" Try to please God rather than people." You're blessed.
Pray

@Stephen Rice Hi Stephen. I believe it's been getting better. Hey any "spy balloons" your way? Be safe.☺️
God I'm not living to please people,I'm living to please YOU ❤️🥰🥰
He’s already pleased. It’s more that we are approved and we work with him than for his approval.
