Episode notes
Problems Form Temporarily But Don't Define You
- Trouble may form in your life but it is not permanent and won't prosper.
- Joel Osteen uses Isaiah and Jeremiah imagery to explain God gives final authority so problems only come temporarily then recede.
Declare Scripture To Activate Its Power
- Keep God's word in your heart and declare scripture aloud to activate its power.
- Joel compares scripture sown in your heart to the sand's eternal decree that holds back the ocean during storms.
Respond To Negative Thoughts By Roaring Scripture
- When negative thoughts roar, answer back with scripture and declarations of identity.
- Joel models replying to temptations with lines like I can do all things through Christ and I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
