This is such an AMAZING message given by Joel Osteen today! I am so happy that somebody posted this message on YouTube so that I could share it with all of my readers. I have typed a transcript of the first 4 minutes of this message for all of my international readers who need to use Babel Fish to translate. Allow this message to inspire you to transform your mind thereby transforming your LIFE! Always remember, YOU ARE a child of the Most High God. YOU ARE God's perfect Creation!
****************************************************************
I told him what I'm telling you. Every morning when you get up up you need to look up toward the heavens and just imagine your heavenly Father smiling down on you. You are His most prized possession. He has you in the palm of His hand. The scripture says God will be a Father to the fatherless.
The reason many people aren't reaching their full potential today is because of this lack of identity. These thoughts that keep playing today, you come from the wrong family or man you didn't even know your father no wonder you can't succeed. NO don't believe those lies. There not on your eating plan, stick with your diet. It's right here, it says I am a child of the Most High God, I may not have had an earthly father but I KNOW I have a heavenly Father. Other people may have said negative things about me, but I know before anybody put a curse on me, God put a blessing on me that's what I'm going to dwell on.
But some of you today are allowing these negative thoughts, negative things people have spoken to poison your future. You need to go back to the root of it and just ask yourself, "Who told me I can't be successful? Who told me I'm not smart enough to go to college? Who told me I can't break this addiction? Who told me my best days are behind me?" I can promise you that didn't come from God.
You need to detox all that garbage. Detox what your ex-husband said about you. Detox what that teacher said you can't do. Detox what that supervisor said you're not going to become. Detox what the critics are saying about your ability. I'm putting you on a new diet today. This diet is going to cleanse you from all the toxins. It's going to free you from all the negativity. All the can't do it, not good enough thoughts. This diet is faith food. When you eat this, it's like Popeye eating a bowl of spinach. It's like Clark Kent going into the phone booth and coming out as SuperMan. For you young people, it's like Miley Cyrus turning into Hannah Montana.
What am I saying? A transformation takes place. When we get rid of the toxic thoughts and we feed our mind what God says about us. This is the way the enemy works, he tries to plant these lies in our mind to infect our thinking. So often we deal with the surface. We're trying to have a good attitude, trying to have a good self-image. But it's like we're constantly struggling, it's always going uphill. Could it be like that rabbit, we're dealing with the symptoms and not dealing with the real issues. Could it be like we're putting a few anti-biotics on it hoping it will get better but the root cause is our thinking is infected in some area.
We want to break the addiction, but that thought keeps telling us, you'll be an alcholic just like your father. We want to make the marriage work, but we hear our thoughts saying, you'll probably get a divorce just like your parents. Or we want to step out in faith and start a new business, we want to take that promotion, but somethings says, you're not able to you remember what the high school counselor told you. Those are lies that have infected our thinking.
The way to get rid of them is to meditate on what God says about you. One scripture says to do it day and night. In other words continually all day long we should have the thoughts playing, I am blessed, I am prosperous, I am forgiven, I am talented, I have the favor of God. When you dwell on thoughts like that those toxins cannot take root. Your mind is being renewed.
