Even If The Bottom Falls Out - Joel Osteen Quotes

'Remember, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Notice, faith has to do with the unseen world. You may not be able to perceive anything positive happening in your life with your natural eyes today. In fact, everything may be falling apart - your finances, your health, your business, your children. You may have all kinds of problems, and in the natural order, it doesn't look as though anything is turning around. But don't be discouraged. Look into the invisible world, into the supernatural world, and through your eyes of faith, see that situation turning around. See your joy and peace being restored.'

"You've got to believe good things are on their way. You must believe that God is at work in your life, that He is restoring you to your rightful place. In other words, you've got to see those things coming to pass. You've got to see your marriage being restored. You have to see that wayward child coming home. You need to see that business turning around. It has to be conceived in your heart. Look at life through your eyes of faith into that invisible world and see your dreams coming to pass."

'The world tells you, "You need to see it to believe it." But God says just the opposite. Only as you believe it will you ever see it. You've got to look out through your eyes of faith and see it. Once you see it by faith, it can come into existence in the physical world.'

'Remember, no weapon formed against you is going to prosper. That doesn't mean that there will not be opposition in your life; there will be weapons formed against you, and they may be formidable and frightening. But they cannot ultimately hurt you. Your future is intact with God. You will not go under, you will go through. The Scripture says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all."'

'The best is yet to come. You can get up each morning expecting things to turn in your favor. Start expecting His blessings. If you believe, Jesus said, "all things are possible." Let me challenge you to be a believer. Let faith rise in your heart. Get into agreement with God, and He'll do more than you can ask or think.'

'Even if the bottom falls out of your life, your attitude should be "God, I know that You are going to turn this around and use it for my good. God, I believe that You're going to bring me out stronger than ever before."'
