On your journey in life, you're going to meet people who are wilted. God places them in your path so you can nourish them. Your kind words can help lift them back on their feet.   My new book, Speak The Blessing is now available at: bit.ly/3wZiXw0

God hasn’t forgotten about you. He sees you doing the right thing, working hard, praying, believing. You’re passing the test. What you’re believing for has already been prepared.

You have the faith. My question is: do you have the patience? Keep traveling steadily, believing, trusting, hoping, knowing that something’s cooking. It’s taking longer because it’s going to be better than you imagined.

When it’s not the right time, you’re not going to feel at peace. There will be unrest. No matter how hard you try, that door is not going to open. Timing is critical. You can do the right thing at the wrong time and it won't work out.

What you struggle with, the mistakes you’ve made, are not a surprise to God. He’s the one that made you. You’re on the potter’s wheel. He’s continuing to mold you. Stay positive toward yourself. Give yourself grace. Keep honoring God, and in His timing, He’ll help you change.

Quit being discouraged over what didn’t work out. It feels like you failed, but that’s not the end of your story. God led you into the desert because you’re in a time of testing. There’s something bigger God has in your future.

God doesn’t judge you by one mistake. His calling on your life is irrevocable. You may have counted yourself out, but God has already counted you in. Listen to this message, "Don't Be Defined By Your Mistakes": bit.ly/3LwFSDa

The Scripture says: God’s Word is like a mirror; it reflects who you really are. As you see yourself the way God sees you, it will begin to heal you. His Word will repair the hurts, scars, & unfair things that have caused you to see yourself as lacking, inferior, unqualified.

What would happen if we believed that God would always gladly welcome us? How much better would we live, how much freer, more secure, at peace, if we were confident that God is for us?

Every silent season is not the enemy; every desert experience is not a bad thing. You don’t know what God is up to. Tune into Joel’s message today: "Don't Be Defined By Your Mistakes"! bit.ly/3LwFSDa

The only person that can stop you is you. If you let your mistakes define you, if you wear the labels people stick on you, if you believe the lies of the accuser, then that will keep you from your destiny.

Your destiny is tied to helping others. Your assignment is tied to building the kingdom. When your heart is to honor God with what He’s given you, to bless your family and be a bigger blessing to others, then you can ask for big things and watch what God will do.

Don’t be defined by your mistakes. Don’t let what you’ve been through taint the rest of your life. God wouldn’t have allowed it if it was going to keep you from your purpose.

God is not judging you by one mistake, by one bad season. Why are you beating yourself up? There’s an incredible destiny waiting for you.

God’s mercy is new every morning. Receive that mercy and move on. Life is too short to let what happened in the past keep you from the great things God has in your future.

Even though you may give up, God won’t give up on you. He knows that you’re human. Check out Joel's message, "From Trouble to Double": bit.ly/3LwFSDa

You cannot change God’s Sovereign will. You may not perform perfectly all the time, you may not deserve His blessing, but when it’s His Sovereign will, it doesn’t depend on what you do or don’t do. What God decides is unstoppable.

James 4 says, “You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss.” How about a bold prayer, “God, I have a lot coming against me, but I know You being for me is greater than anything that’s trying to stop me. Lord, I thank You that the tide of this battle is turning.”

Happiness doesn’t automatically happen. It’s a choice we have to make. You can’t wait to see what kind of day it’s going to be; you have to decide what kind of day it’s going to be.

One reason we don’t see God do great things is we’re only asking for small things. Are you asking for your dreams, are you asking for something over your head, those secret petitions He’s put in your heart?
