Start Blessing Your Life

Joel Osteen

The Scripture talks about how with our tongue we can bless our life or we can curse our life. Many people don’t realize they’re cursing their future with their words.

Prophesy a long, productive life. Your words will become your reality.

Prophesy a long, productive life. Your words will become your reality.



Start Blessing Your Life. By Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church

The Scripture talks about how with our tongue we can bless our life or we can curse our life. Many people don’t realize they’re cursing their future with their words.

Every time you say, “I never get any good breaks,” you just cursed your life. “I’ll never be able to afford that nice house.” “I’ll never be able to break this addiction.” “I’ll never meet the right person.” No; stop cursing your future.

Sometimes the enemy doesn’t have to defeat us; we defeat ourselves. Pay attention to what you’re saying. Are you blessing your life? Or are you cursing it?

I had a classmate in high school who was always very negative even though he was one of the stars on our football team, was always in great shape, and had thick, curly hair.

Every time I asked him what was going on, he gave this standard reply: “Not much. I’m just getting old, fat, and bald.” I must have heard him say that five hundred times. I know he was just kind of kidding, but I wouldn’t kid about that.

About fifteen years later, when I ran into him at the mall, I nearly passed out. He had prophesied his future. He looked old, fat, and bald. Don’t speak that defeat over your life. Our attitude should be, I’m getting younger.

God is renewing my youth like the eagles. I’m getting stronger, healthier, better looking. I’m going to keep my hair. I’m going to stay in my right mind. I’m going to live a long, productive, faith-filled life. Don’t go around cursing your future. Start blessing your life. Prophesy good things.

I know this man who was concerned that he was going to get Alzheimer’s disease because several people in his family had it—a grandfather, a great-uncle.


This man was only in his early fifties, but he constantly kept bringing up what might happen. He told me that he was actually making plans for someone to take care of him, getting everything lined up.

Of course, it’s good to use common sense, to be wise, and to plan ahead in your life where you can. But if you go around talking about when you’re going to get a disease and making plans for it, you probably won’t be disappointed. You’re calling it in. Just like you’re sending it an invitation.

I told this man what I’m telling you: “Don’t say another time that you’re going to have Alzheimer’s or any other disease. Start declaring, ‘No weapon formed against me will ever prosper.

I will live out my days in good health, with a clear mind, with good memory, with clarity of thought. My mind is alert. My senses are sharp.

My youth is being renewed.’” You must prophesy health. Prophesy a long, productive life. Your words will become your reality.

No matter what sin we have committed, no matter how terrible it may be, God loves us.- Billy Graham

What God’s Love Can’t Do

Billy Graham
God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected. God will not force Himself upon any man against his will.
“To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge! To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.”—George W. Truett

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar
Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.
“The only ultimate disaster that can befall us is to feel ourselves at home on this earth.”— Malcolm Muggeridge

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar
Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.
Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. - Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham
Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.
All of it was done for you and me.  Considering that, it is incumbent upon us to have the Blessing which the Cross affords

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart
This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.
