TODAY’S WORD BY JOEL OSTEEN.
God has created you to be a victor, not a victim. Jump-start your day by celebrating the very best that God has for you!These daily inspirations will help you grow in your relationship with the Lord and equip you to be everything God intends you to be. – Joel Osteen
There are two kinds of faith: delivering faith and sustaining faith. We all love delivering faith; that’s when God instantly turns it around, that’s when we defeat our Goliaths. We don’t have to wait long; we don’t have to endure. God suddenly shows out in our life. We’ve all seen delivering faith. We believe in that.
But most of the time, we’re going to need sustaining faith. That’s when God takes us through the challenge, through the difficulty. He could turn it around right now. He could change it in an instant, but if He did that, our faith would never develop; it would never grow like it should.
It’s easy to let life just happen to us. When we’ve been through enough disappointments and people are against us, overtime, it can wear us down to where we lose our fight, we lose our passion. But you can’t be passive and just take whatever comes your way. We’re in a fight. There are forces that are trying to keep you from your destiny.
The scripture says, “God’s Word is the sword of the spirit.” When you have His promises coming out of your mouth, you are using your sword. Be inspired by this message from Joel, “Swing Your Sword”.
