I'm in tears right now... never have heard anything so kind, loving and hopeful 😭❤️ I've been lost my whole life 41 year old just found hope
God Bless you Antoniya Cronk
Just remember God gives everyone a miracle and he will give you beauty for your ashes
Amen ❤️ my prayers are with you
Yes this message of hope and peace is so wonderful as I continue to live my life getting divorced at age 62. My Grandmother always told me that she lived several lives throughout her life. That she doesn't recognize the girl that stepped off the boat, after WWII, into this beautiful America. She said it's a wonderful country no matter what your situation is.
❤
If you are reading this , I hope you’re having a blessed day God Bless you 🙏🏽
Blessings to you and hope your day is going Great 👍 Blessings to you always
I dont care what anyone says. I tried to commit suicide 5 months ago..... and struggle with depression, PTSD, Trauma... and wanting to die. I gave Joel a chance and he is helping to save a soul in despair. I'm broken & need milk. Thank you brother for a simple yet powerful message for a weak babe in Christ who was in dire need of encouragement.... This message was for me....
I tried too but god says thou shall not murder. Suicide is murder even if it's mental not just physical.
never give up
Glad you found Joel. He helped me so much. I also found vitamins to help me feel better.
To God be the glory its just good youve never give up, never give up when things go wrong as they sometimes will
I was there too. Joel keeps me alive, hopeful, and trying.
Start with yourself, love yourself. Take time out and talk to yourself in your head. Accept and love yourself
Speak it out not just in your head
.Give life to what good you thinking about yourself
Actually, it starts with recognizing you are a sinner, calling on Jesus for salvation, and receiving eternal life. It is not about us, it is about God and his son, Jesus Christ and his death on the cross to save us from our sins.
Took me forever but I’m trying now. I’m trying…
Good day everyone! Im catholic but I love this way of preaching. Very uplifting!
I’m very Catholic too, and Joel has brought me closer to Christ. I don’t get the sense that he’s Anti-Catholic like Hagee and other preachers. Anyway, I’ve battled with depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, negativity for most of my life and Joel is sometimes way better than therapy. Since I started listening to him, my entire life has changed for the better and I’m much more comfortable in my own skin.
I listen to Joel for 3hours everyday..
It's always good, just like listening to Gods guidance..
Amen Amen Amen be blessed bro
I'm guilty, if not more hrs of Joel. It's food for the soul
@@distinctridesbydavy d, ,
i am not a christian i am a muslim but when i hear your voice i feel great and god bless you that you make people find their inner peace and happiness
Christ loves you
@@DubaiiMakavelii And Allah loves you. The fact that we have common ground doesn't mean we have to be one or another. It means there are people from both faiths who can recognize these because they contain messages from the same source. Coming from a Muslim who has benefited from this speech.
I hung out with my best friend, "ME",at The Ritze Carlton Hotel. I took myself out to lunch today and at Lunch at Whole Foods,Picked up myself a new Winter Coat and a pair of leather pants, in which I thought were quit. Glory to GOD in Jesus Name,I'm Blessed. Thank you Joel
Am extremely weak mentally, I need God right now more than ever.Please Joel Osteen pray for me
It's is well...my story right now.
"The problem with not liking yourself is you are the only person you can never get away from."
As funny as this is, this is one of the quotes that really pushed me to love myself more.
True!! Because the relationship that lasts until we die is the relationship with ourselves. Even the relationship with God is not always stable but what we have with ourselves is until we die so we must make sure this relationship is beautiful ❤🙏
The man prayed, "help thou my unbelief". Bring what you want to change to God. Pray for the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life. We know it is God's will. Ref Galatians kjv online
We got to cause Suicide Do Not Kills People Sadness Does.
But you can get away from others putting you down.
@@julielugulu3379 lol what is this
I don't know where I'll be today without God thank you Joel Osteen for your encouraging words
You're the only person you can never get away from you. If you don't like you, life is going to be miserable ✊🏿💜💙💚💛🖤🧡
Your most important relationship is with Jesus Christ.
Yes! I agree, but if we follow this believe, theoretically we could be good with God but not with ourselves? We can love God, yet not be happy with your ourselves.
can we expect to have a good relationship with God if we don't have one with ourselves? Thank you 🙏
@@dmac5935 Happiness is good for sure, but a right relationship with Christ means no matter what, happy, sad or anyother normal human emotion we put him first.
He's the God of the mountain, but He's still God in the valley. We are being feed a people pleasing, self seeking Gospel in this modern age. We are called to always be Joyful, because our Joy comes from him.
@@robroy4058 good point, good insight, very deep 👍
I will contemplate on this; u definitely altered my viewpoint 🤔
I just feel if I do that I'm kind of abandoning myself---yet I think that's what faith is all about. Thank you 👊😎
@@dmac5935 God bless my friend. We are always learning and growing!! Stay strong in your faith! 😊
@@robroy4058 Thank you!
I need to be reminded of this sometimes, no actually often 😅lol
Have a terrific day 🙏 God bless us all
After listening to Joel, I am learning to love myself.
We all need to do this.
The most important relationship we can have is a relationship with ourselves, if we don't have a healthy relationship with ourselves , we can never relate well with others. Love yourself, be proud of yourself, applaud yourself, care for yourself....🙌🙌🙌🙌
Not to yourself but to your Creator God thru Jesus Christ. Once this relationship is established this is the only time you can appreciate yourself as how God appreciated you. Then and only then you can relate with others well...you cant love yourself unless you know and experienced God's love for you...this is the order of process...
Joel has seriously changed my life! Everyday I listen to him more than once. God Bless You!
I feel the same. I always listen to him too. He's a man of God.
So do I .
Thanks.forp0werfulmessege
Hi friend thanks for the encouraging reply to Pastor Joel message I have become a little discouraged but your little reply brightened my day thank you

God Bless You❤Keep The Faith Sugar😘🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻😇
I was ready to take my own life this weekend, I had been on meth for awhile and it just taken everything out of me! I have two great kids who love me so much and I feel like how bad I just failed them. I kept saying to myself if am a better parent I'll just give them to someone else so they could be happy! I just now see that they will be happier then ever if I just let God in my life and let him show me how to change, then am sure I could learn to love myself for everything and move forward with my life with my kids! Please pray for me because I am weak right now but I want to be strong!
Rosa Ruiz I'm praying for you. God Bless your story has touched my heart
LEO MONI thank you so much, everyday has been a struggle but am really trying. The smile on my kids gets me up every day. Thank u for your prayers❤️
Rosa Ruiz. Hi Rosa, how are you doing ? I wanted to let you know that someone in France is thinking of you ! Im french, my english is not so good but i will pray for you ! God is able !
Rosa Ruiz That meth is a literal demon. Only the blood of Jesus can cast that out. Pray and fast for freedom and ask God's forgiveness. Look up drugs, Jesus, testimony on TH-cam. God loves you and can take the urge away. He did it for me! W alcohol. Have ppl pray for you too.
Rosa , my name is Rosalinda, I too struggled with an addiction, i would get up every morning sick because I needed the drug ! I would cry , and ask God to take this addiction away, I was ready to change my life! My drugs of choice were (heroin, crack) , I finally decided one day after work to fill up 2 syringes full of what I called poison! I called my oldest son of 4 And said I was ready to quit ,but that I was afraid because I had been told that some people die from trying to quit heroin! ,but Rosa, I was ready... I had also told my son if I didn't get help soon I was going to fill my veins with 2 syringes full of heroin! Knowing had I done that I would've gotten to the second syringe! So, a couple of days went by didn't hear from my son who had said he was going to talk to his brothers and see what they could come up with! So, I still hasn't used it was two days , I still had the syringes full! I went to a clinic to ask for help they denied me , because I had to be a user for more then 1yr.! I was SHOCKED!! Confused and angry I left the clinic went home and did half of the syringe! I was angry at myself cause I was doing the very thing I wanted to quit doing!! Following morning I went to work (landscaping) i worked only so that I wouldn't work the streets !! Well , after I had gotten home I showered and my boss knock on the bathroom door and said their are 4 young men, and a small child outside asking for me!! Without rinsing the soap, and shampoo I dressed ran out side and seen the most beautiful sight my SON'S AND MY GRANDSON!! I ran as fast as I could into they're arms I stepped back full of shame covering my arms and waited for my son to speak, his words were music to my ears, you see Rosa I hadn't talked or seen my son's what seemed like a life time!! He said mom we love you let's go I looked up and said let me get my things, as I turned to go back into the house for my clothes , I had 8 strong arms grab me and said you don't need what's inside that house let's go!! They walked with me to thank my boss told him to throw my belongings and I had told him about the syringes in my bag! So he wouldnt get poked or anything! I went home with my SON'S I told them about the clinic so, I stayed with my second eldest , Rosa those were the hardest most terrifying weeks of my life!! It took 13 days no doctors, no meds, just hardcore tuff love!!! I'm very proud to say I've been clean now for 12yrs strong! During my sick days I cried out to God , shouted at the top of my lungs after my son would leave for work, I could've easily gone out to get a fix, but everytime I'd walk towards the door God would whisper in my ears I love you , you are my child , I am with You! Those words kept me from going out!! We serve a mighty mighty God, and I praise him everyday and I'll walk with him until my work here is done! I walk by faith and not by sight !! I'll pray for you Rosa, just know you are a child of God and he has already forgiven you ! God be with you and your children Rosa God bless you!!
I'm back watching Joel on a daily basis i have never felt better! I'm a 7th grader, I'm working on improving my grades, thanks Joel! :)
kid find another way this man is a thief a deceiver and a liar..he charges admission and lives in a 10 million dollar home..
Good for you!!
Sammy Awada we should not judge others...if Joel helps people find Christ that is all that matters to me we all will be judged in the end
Scifen we are all Gods children it doesn't matter what color you are. Stay in Gods presence, try to get in a good bible study class trust me There's nothing like Gods Love
Good morning misstar fix is good
Everybody please just love one another
Wow I’ve never listened to a Pastor that really touches my soul, I always tear up listening to him preach for some reason ,he really speaks to me , God bless🙏🏼
Wow this is timely just what I needed God bless you man of God
Me too x
same here
What about Billy Graham. Does he do anything to you.
Only God can give a word like that.....
If you have trouble concentrating while praying. I think having the background sounds of a sermon and/or Spiritual music always helps me be surrounded by THE SPIRIT
KJV Isaiah 9:6, 12:2, Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38
I do this a lot
“Enjoy where you are while God is in the process of changing you.” Amen! So good!
Joel I want to let you know. That your book changed my life. You brought me peace and brought me closer to God. Amen
Which book ?
I needed to hear that Joel, thank you. I am currently at a bad place in life, and your sermon basically spoke to me. May God bless you.
❤️
This has got to be the most meaningful service I've ever seen..... Ever! Joel the enemy works hard on people to not like themselves. You just brought Truth that broke massive chains in my life today! God bless you Joel and your church.....
Amen
This has been some of my weakness, guilt, regret, shame, worried, anxiety, and anger. But to God be the glory knowing that my creator still loves 💘 me despite my short coming thank God 🙏
Put on your armor of God we have to rise up
Thank you !!
I love Joel osteen he changed my life
THANK YOU FOR READING MY MESSAGE
hi, are you doing better than when you first posted asking for prayer?
@@The-Conscious-Gardener Oh! Yes! It is just being 80 can be worrisome
I thank God I am still strong but I have to face the reality I will be needing someone to be with me as I will not strong forever I pray that God will take me before I will be in that position Very scary to think sometimes
It is always nice to have friends who are sincere, honest and compassionate
That will be like "needle in a haystack"

I was going to Lakewood Church for Saturday night service the freeway was closed so we had to detour off the exit well I was coming to a stop then a car hit us doing about 40 miles per hour my wife was screaming fearing for her life she yelled Jesus everything stopped we was in traffic we could have collided with many vehicles but instead he was able to pull to the side the car that hit us was basically split in two amazingly we all survived with no injuries even the guy that hit us not only that but throughout the process God was giving us strength to trust him more I was worried about damages cost to repair at that time I didn't even have money for my rent but God Made A Way his insurance covered everything I paid my rent all of my bills put money away for next rent went Christmas shopping and i even gave my 10% to God when God wants to bless you he will go above and beyond anything you can ever imagine I am a living testimony
Wow!
God bless you, thank you for your testimony! :)

that is very true
one day, a friend sent me a video of Joel Osteen, now i watch it in a daily basis👌
I watch at joel everyday,even at work,if its just for a few mins,i love his sermons,brings out powerful messages.
Since I gave birth via cs to my only son Ive been depressed and sickly.. My husband work far away in KSA..I gave birth to our son without him.. and now my son is turning 4 years old they never meet yet in person only video call..if not this pandemic, He would have been home, their company always delayed their salary, sometimes no salary at all.. This things makes me worried, anxiety attact me, depression makes me weak.. but when I watch Joel Osteen preaching I was reminded & my faith was restored.. thank you father God in heaven for using Joel Osteen, continue to blessed him & the people who will hears him..Amen
1 day I'll visit this churcH ...❤ God is good❣️
"Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins, come into my heart, i make you my lord and savior!"
Amen
Repent is turning from sin to God, agreeing with God that sin is sin. Thanks be to Jesus who's blood washes away our sins. Praise the Lord.
Thank you DEAR LORD for bringing this message to my heart today. Everything in this sermon is exactly what I needed to hear. I've spent my whole life down on myself, criticizing everything about me & the whole time not realizing that I am unique. There is no one else in this world that is like me. You created me as a one of a kind, an original, exceptional, talented, intelligent person. You know I struggle with low self esteem, depression & anxiety. And there are times when I say 'why me LORD? why can't I be normal & not have all these problems '. But today is the day that I stop feeling sorry for myself. Today I stop allowing the enemy to make me hate myself. Yes I have daily struggles & sometimes it's hard to keep going, to keep trying especially when it seems like the harder I try, the more life throws at me. But now I understand why. The enemy wants to keep me down. He wants me to give up so I'll blame you for everything that's wrong in my life. Now I see those struggles as a learning experience. So I can become stronger & wiser. Looking back on my past, I see that I did make it through the fire. You were there with me & you gave me strength I didn't know I had. I have come a long way in a short period of time & that's bc of you MY LORD. You have always been with me & have loved me unconditionally. Knowing that, now it's time for me to start loving myself. THANK YOU, MY HEAVENLY FATHER.
Amen 🙏 ❤
I like myself. I am happy with who I am and I'm proud of how God made me to be.
Don't give up on god cause he won't give up on you 🙌💯😇
This wonderful man over the years has been my beacon of light 🕯️ I own my Peace to him thank you
I'm blessed listening the message. Praying for Pastor Joel, his family and ministries. May His anointing power upon him through his days. Amen.
*I need this therapy everyday, I feel relieved and happy. God bless you Pastor Joel Osteen*
This Is Amazing .
You already have God's approval, there is nothing you can do to make Him love you more,amen amen
Yes Lord!!! Me too 😊!!! I watch and listen to his sermons on a daily basis 😊🙌❤️!!!!!!
"You can't change yourself, God has to give you the grace to change." Uh, Amen. 😢
It's good to pray for the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Galatians kjv online

Joel a faithful servant choosen by God to touch life ..
I listen to Joel every day - thank God for his ministry. Judge teaching by the results. If it helps me be a better person, it's good. There are too many 'misery ministries' out there. Joel is the antidote and so needed.
don't feel that way about yourself there's a purpose for u in life

Thanks be to Jesus who's Holy blood washes away sins
@shut up already Look at the sky. Who made the sky? Jesus made the sky. Jesus loves you. Thanks be to Jesus who's Holy blood washes away sins
I always feel like a loser in life ... this message is so right
Nana Naema Thanks .... :)
Only gonna try and save you since I like Asians and not bother arguing with others in the comments, this man is a giant fraud and is a fake Christian, do not listen to him, he teaches people to be selfish and think they're god, he wants people to think they can do whatever they want and God would still send them to heaven. We live in the end times like in the bible, why won't he teach us how to be saved and what to watch out for in these dangerous times, it's cause he's a fraud, the world especially America does not like God, so why would they let this man be famous and rich and let him speak ( his lies) because he works for Satan, the true ruler of this world. Save yourself and find the real God, don't listen to this phony, and you aren't a Loser
If being a loser is being the opposite of famous/rich people like kanye or Beyonce then I'd rather be the biggest loser, these people are evil and care for no one but themselves, all this money and they use it for dumb things instead of helping people in need and bettering the world
Yew Meng Choo your not a loser your a perfect in every way. saying your not perfect is saying god doent know what hes doing. your beautiful in every waybrother
No one is a looser.If you were looser God would not have created you in the first place.You are a winner and you will always be in God's eyes.
this brought me to tears today because i've been battling with the demons in my head for so long, especially this week, and dealing with healing from ptsd and personal stuff.
Stephanie, I am praying for you girl!!! Love yourself as God does!!!🙏🏽 Sending you a big hug from California!!🥰✌🏽
redeemed , restored , accepted & approved💕🥰
You dont have to worry about liking you, you is bad. You like and love CHRIST WITHIN YOU. Don't be satisfied with the flesh and human things.
What I did not learn in 18 years in the gospel, I learned it in two months with Joel's preaching. Thank you.
I just want to say for the women that are going threw something out there, maybe with men or a love one, I want to say to you that sometimes God will get you by yourself in order for him to work in your life, I know you might feel lonely at times and you want things to go your way, but just know that God is i
The mist and he is working all things out for the good
I watch and if I can't watch I listen every day most of my day !
Love doesn't give up on us.
God is loving kindness.
God is patient.
"God is love" "Faithful is He who has begun a good work in you to preform it. kjv online
Joel gave me the key to unlocking the door so that I can have a relationship with God and for that I am extremely grateful. Thank you Joel
Enjoy where u are ,while God is on process🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
I always felt like a failure for simple mistakes or having issues recalling things about work or studies. Battling with depression and I don't think anyone around me would be able to understand how much effort it takes to fight a battle with yourself inside your mind, every single day.
I am still learning to accept myself. Will listen to this again and again. Thank you
God is love!!! If we even had a clue!! He meets us where we are!! So thankful for Jesus!!
God doesn't make trash. A person may hate themselves if others reject them. but giving out love may attract love. Give out acceptance may attract acceptance. Be with people that treat you well and not ones that abuse. Value yourself. God can use all people to make the world a better place. No one is perfect. All are a work in progress. Life is a journey. Look for the good in yourself/others/life. What you focus on multiplies. People may feel sick. One small step at a time in the right direction may help. Pets/kids/elderly may give unconditional love. Being in nature/sunlight/exercise/no gluten/no food with a label/good water etc may help. If you are sad you may make others sad. If you are happy you may help others be happier. Give the gift of love to yourself/others.
Amen 🙏 thank you Jesus 🙏💞
We all need to be doing this about ourselves.
It's as if he is speaking directly to me. I didn't even know that I hated myself so much, no wonder I am so miserable half the time. Thank you, Joel, keep up the good work.
I am a muslim woman but I enjoyed listen to this wonderfull man and it is also exaclty the same in my religion. Peace & Love
Thank Jesus for His Holy blood that washes away sins. Repent and give thanks. Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the Creator of heaven and earth, the universe. Jesus loves you. He allowed Himself to be crucified so you could be forgiven. Praise Jesus. There's no God like Jehovah. Father Son Holy Spirit
When ever I listen to Joel Oston I feel so positive in my life it makes me feel so good and positive in everything t
Awwww I Love myself! Took me 32 years but I do now❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
this is my number one struggle for 3 decades of my life
Mines because others puts me down.
Anytime l listen to your message l become happy , God bless you .
😁
Liking yourself doesn’t mean you put yourself above others it means you open yourself to accept/receive God’s love and let it flow through you and out to others.
To all that is here We will all over come in Jesus name Amen 🙏 #Peace

Its been 4 years but this message never stops speaking to me.
I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
Amen and continue your walk with Jesus and never let go of his hand. God bless u your entire life
Amen!🙏😇
It's 3:51 am but I needed this message. I feel like this message was made for me. Things have been so difficult both with myself and my husband who a little over a year ago go diagnosed with MS. It has been a real struggle. I will learn to love myself more. I will pass on the message to my husband who is asleep right now. Amen

May I please ask for prayer for health healing, strength and peace, for my family!
For almost a year now my Dad has been in and out of the hospital, rehab's to bring his strength back, then back home, hospital, rehab's for strength once again! This has been traumatizing for him, where it's causing him problems with his mind at times!
And for my mom husband and I, the hospital caseworkers continue to call us and push us to make decisions immediately on what the next step is, this has been completely draining for us, because we're only want the best for him!
Please we need to be covered in prayer, can you please pray for my family!
We know God is good always, and where two or more are gathered!
God Bless You All!
Is there anybody who is from Zimbabwe here in the name of Jesus Christ who come from Nazareth
God, thank you for changing me little by little, until i complete my first test.Then my next so i can get better and better
there is nothing you can do to make God love you any more, His Approval is not based on your performance, its based on your relationship. Woow, just when i wanted to hear it.! Thanks JO
Tq God amen
My heart is so heavy right now. I'm not myself anymore. I believe in God but yet I hold back. My fear is I won't be able to let go of the past. I want to walk my God. Forgive and forget the past that really I want to do. But something hold me.😣. Father give me grace as I try and find my way back home. To be happy person.
Say to yourself from today that I will not continue to allow satan to dwell on your past anymore from this time forth and forevermore. JESUS loves u and u can overcome anything in Jesus name
thank you Joel for being such a spiritually connected child of God I feel God when you start to tear up I enjoy knowing that there is someone else out there not ashamed to TEAR up when thinking about how Good God is!! On the other hand i am going through a battle right now BUT I WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR.... man GOD is so good y'all and it doesn't matter what we/i go through as long as God has people like JOEL AND JOYCE here so that HE can speak through them to reach people like me... PRAY for me brothers and sisters im on a spiritual journey seeking JESUS and His truth and the calling on my life HOPE TO SEE ALL GODS CHILDREN IN HEAVEN the final magnificent REUNION!!!
