All Things Are Possible
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’ ”
(Matthew 19:26 NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Are you facing something today that seems impossible? With man it may be, but with God, ALL things are possible. If you seem to be in an impossible situation, get “with God!”

Sometimes it’s so easy to focus on our problems and try to solve them in our own strength. But remember, the battle belongs to the Lord. He has a plan for your victory. He has a plan to give you a way out. He is making the things that seem impossible, possible. You can trust Him today. The Bible says that He has plans for your good, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Start believing and confessing today, “I am with God, and with God all things are possible!” Are your bills piling up? With God, all things are possible. Do your relationships need healing? With God, all things are possible. Is there sickness in your body? With God, all things are possible! As you meditate on God’s Word, His power is activated in your life. He will strengthen you and lead you forward into that place of victory He has in store for you.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for making a way where there seems to be no way. I choose to trust You, and I believe that all things are possible! Show me Your power today. Work through me to encourage those around me to trust You more in Jesus’ name. Amen.

In Due Season

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field yield their fruit"
(Leviticus 26:4, AMP)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
God has set up seasons in our lives. It's easy to get frustrated when our dreams aren't coming to pass on our timetable, but every season is not harvest season. There are plowing seasons. There are planting seasons. There are watering seasons. Sure, we would love for every season to be a time of increase left and right, good breaks here and there. But without the other seasons, we wouldn't be prepared. For example, it's during the plowing seasons that God brings issues to light that we need to deal with. He's getting us prepared for promotion.
If you're not making as much progress as you would like, the key is to not lose any ground. Don't go backwards. Hold your position. Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that, you are passing the test, and God promises that your due season of harvest is coming. Be encouraged because your appointed time of increase, favor and promotion is on its way, and He will fulfill every dream and desire He's placed within your heart!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, I bless You today. I thank You for preparing me for the blessing and promotion You have in my future. I surrender my heart, mind, will and emotions to You so that I can live as a testimony of Your work in my life in Jesus' name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Un-reality’s Reality

shadows dance between sunray’s dimensions

not quite grey, nor black, nor solid, nor real

yet, neither are sunrays tangible, both

destined to fade each day to nothingness

which are real, which are illusion, either?

 

deep seas become deserts, mountains crumble

civilizations are born and fade away

what is real, what is illusionary

what is deemed to be real, perhaps is not

 

what is deemed to be unreal, perhaps is real

caring, empathy, compassion, gratitude

love, happiness and heartfelt feelings from

Sensation of the Mystical

The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience
is the sensation of the mystical.


It is the sower of all true science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead.


To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists,
manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty,
which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms -
this knowledge, this feeling,
is at the center of true religion.

Gift for a King



Tyler M. Moore, plc

Gifts for a King

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“And on going into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they presented to Him gifts —gold and frankincense and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11 AMP)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Can you imagine what it must have been like for the Wise Men when they saw Jesus? He was just a child in a stable surrounded by animals, but these Wise Men recognized that He was the King of kings and the Lord of lords; the Savior of the world. Immediately, they fell on their faces to worship Him, but notice what they did next — they presented Him gifts as part of their worship. And they didn’t just give any old thing they had; they gave Him their absolute best — costly gold, frankincense and myrrh.

When we give Jesus our absolute best — our time, talent and resources, it is truly an act of worship. We are saying with our actions, “God, You mean more to me than anything. Because You are so awesome, I want to give You everything that I am.” It pleases Him when we come to Him with this attitude. When we draw near to Him with an open and humble heart, He draws near to us. Remember, when you give Him your best, He gives you His best in return.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I humbly come to You, giving You all that I am. I honor You as King of kings and Lord of lords. I bless You today for You alone are worthy of my absolute best. I love You and thank You for sending Your Son Jesus, the perfect gift in Jesus’ name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Wonderful Counselor

"For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace"
(Isaiah 9:6, AMP)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, not only is your eternity secure, but you become a child of the Most High God. You instantly have an Everlasting Father! Think about that word everlasting. It means that before the beginning of time, the Father was there. He was waiting for you to accept Him and become a child of His.
I can only imagine that He was excited and anticipating that day just like a father would anticipate the birth of his child in the natural. I can imagine that each day God would think, "Is it today?" I don't know what your experience has been with your earthly father, but God is a good and perfect Father. He loves you with an everlasting love. He loves everything about you so much that He notices when a single hair falls from your head. He accepts you just the way you are, and He loves you enough to guide you and work His character in you. And, He will be your Father from now until eternity! He will never leave you nor forsake you! Thank Him today for being your Everlasting Father!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Everlasting Father, thank You for loving me today and for always being with me. Help me to understand Your love more so that I may know You better. Let Your love flow through me so that others may see Your goodness and come to know You as their Father also in Jesus' name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Prince of Peace: at ONE with God

Prince of Peace

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

The Bible calls Jesus the Prince of Peace. That means He is the ruler of peace. He is the ultimate peace. Having His peace is not like having the peace the world has; His peace is permanent. It never changes, and it can never be taken away.

It’s interesting that the word “peace” literally means “to set at one again.” In other words, when we are one with the Father, when we line up our thoughts, our words and our actions with Him through the blood of Jesus Christ, we will experience His peace in our lives. Anytime you find that you don’t have peace about something on the inside of your heart, when you feel an uneasiness, that’s a sign that you should stop and pray and make sure you are in line with God’s direction. Remember, His plans are for your good. He leads you by peace and fills you with His joy. When you choose His ways, you become one with Him and experience His peace and blessing all the days of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for filling me with Your peace and joy. Have Your way in my heart and remove anything that displeases You. Help me to clearly hear Your voice so I can walk in all of Your ways in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today is better than two tomorrows.

The Wonderful Counselor
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor..."
(Isaiah 9:6, NIV)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Do you need wisdom or direction in your life today? The scripture tells us that Jesus is our Counselor. And He's not just any kind of Counselor, He's a Wonderful Counselor. When something is wonderful, it means it is unusually good, marvelous or astonishing. Think about that for a moment. God is a marvelous, astonishing, unusually good Counselor — the very best you could ever have!
Today, no matter what you may be facing, no matter what kinds of decisions you have to make, consider God. Ask Him to direct your steps and confirm His perfect will for your life. Remember, He is the best counselor there is. Let Him direct and guide your path. Seek Him with your whole heart, put Him first, and let Him lead you in blessing and victory in every area of your life.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, You are my Wonderful Counselor. I submit all my ways to You. I trust that You have a good plan for me. Thank You for giving me wisdom and direction in every area of my life in Jesus' name. Amen.

Isaiah: When Jesus came to earth, He brought with Him everything you need to be empowered to live a life of victory.

"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder..."
(Isaiah 9:6, NKJ)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
When Jesus came to earth, He brought with Him everything you need to be empowered to live a life of victory. He came as a little baby, but He represented all authority in heaven and earth. When you choose to serve Him, you have access to all of His resources. You have access to His peace, power, authority, provision, joy and strength. He brought all of this to us when He came to earth. Unto us a child is born...unto us victory is given. Unto us, peace is given. Unto us, provision is given. Unto us hope and healing are given. Unto us eternal life is given!
Whatever you need today, remember, when Jesus came into the world, He made a way for every one of your needs to be met spiritually, emotionally and physically. Surrender your life to Him and receive all the spiritual blessings He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that I could be free to live an abundant life in You. Fill me with the revelation of Your love and everything that You have for me in Jesus' name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

It’s About the Way You Finish

It's About the Way
You Finish

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith"
(2 Timothy 4:7, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

So often, when people make mistakes, they get down on themselves and think, "If only..." "I should have..." "What if...?" It's easy to feel like you've missed the best plan for your life. That's when people get discouraged and stop pursuing their God-given dreams. But understand today, just because you've made a mistake or failed in some way, that doesn't cancel God's plan. God never disqualifies you. He never says, "Go sit on the sidelines. You've blown it too many times. You've got too many weaknesses." No, God always gives you another chance!
Some of the great people in the Bible made very poor choices. The apostle Paul started off as a murderer, yet his destiny was bigger than his mistakes. He ended up becoming a great leader and writing over half of the New Testament.
What am I saying? Our mistakes, our failures, our poor choices don't have to keep us from our God-given destiny. With God, it's not about the way you start in life, it's about the way you finish. Receive His grace today and embrace the bright future He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy to me. I trust that my days are ordered of You. I ask that You strengthen and empower me to fulfill Your call on my life. I love You and bless You today in Jesus' name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

He Will Fight Your Battles

He Will Fight
Your Battles

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles."
(2 Chronicles 32:8, NKJ)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In scripture, the enemy was coming against Hezekiah, causing him all kinds of trouble, trying to keep him from his destiny. But Hezekiah didn't get all upset. He just kept abiding, being faithful and putting God first. In Second Kings 19, God said, "Hezekiah, I myself will come against this enemy. He will receive word that he is needed at home, and I will cause him to want to return and he will be defeated."
Notice that when you abide in Him, the Creator of the universe says, "I myself will come against your enemies. I myself will come against that sickness. I myself will come against those who oppose you." It says God is the one who caused Hezekiah's enemy to turn around. That means God can cause that unfair boss to take an early retirement. God can cause that neighbor that's giving you so much trouble to decide to pack up and move. God can cause that classmate to be transferred to another school.
Today, no matter what's coming against you, keep pressing into God. Put His Word first place in your life. Honor Him in all that you do. Let Him fight your battles and bring you into the land of victory He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, I bless You and praise You today because You are good! Thank You for Your good and precious promises. I submit my ways to You; I surrender my will to You knowing that You are working in my life. Thank You for fighting my battles as I keep myself in covenant with You in Jesus' name. Amen.

Hidden in Him: He will keep me high upon a rock


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock"
(Psalm 27:5, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

What a wonderful promise found in today's scripture that when you seek God, when you serve Him with your whole heart, He will hide you in His shelter. You can be so connected to Father God that you are untouchable and invisible to the enemy! You are hidden in Him! That means no matter what is happening around you, you will have strength, confidence and rest greater than ever before knowing that you are safe in Him. Challenges may come your way, but you won't be worried about them. You know that, ultimately, things are going to work out for your good. You know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. People may be talking, trying to make you look bad, but you don't even give it a second thought. You know that your future is too bright to be distracted. You know they don't control your destiny. You just keep on being your best, walking in integrity, meditating on the Word, worshiping throughout the day, and stay hidden in Him!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, I come to You with an open and humble heart. I surrender every area of my life to You. Mold me into Your image and keep me hidden in You. I bless You and praise You today and always in Jesus' name. Amen.

Remain

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you"
(John 15:7, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In life, we all have ups and downs. There are seasons that are more difficult than others, seasons of testing, trials and temptation where our character is being developed and our faith in God is being strengthened. Sometimes it can feel like you are taking two steps forward and then three steps backward. But if we're not careful, we'll start thinking that life is always going to be this way. Even in the strong seasons, you'll start looking for things to go wrong.
God doesn't want us to be living life like a roller coaster. He wants to bring us to a place of stability where we remain strong in Him. Jesus said, "I am the vine. You are the branches. If you abide in me, you will bear much fruit and your fruit will remain." The word "remain" means "to be fixed, immovable, not affected by circumstances." If you will just keep abiding in Him, just keep meditating on His Word, He'll bring you through. He'll make you strong, He'll keep you stable, and you'll keep moving forward into the life of blessing He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, today I set my heart and mind on You knowing that You are good and faithful. I trust that as I seek You and put You first, You will direct my steps. I choose to remain in You and follow Your leading in everything I do in Jesus' name. Amen.

Called to Excellence


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
(Colossians 3:23, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In today's society, many people have accepted mediocrity as the norm. They do as little as they can to get by, always looking for the easy way out. If the boss isn't watching, they're playing on the computer. They simply go to work to pick up a paycheck, then wonder why they're not promoted and don't see increase. It's because God doesn't bless mediocrity; He blesses excellence.
Whatever we do, we should do it to the best of our ability and set the standard. Remember, you are ultimately working for the Lord. He's the one who put those talents and abilities in you. You are a steward of the gifts He's given. Other people may show up late. They may complain. They may cut corners. But don't sink down to their level — you are working for Almighty God. You are called to excellence!
I encourage you today, stay determined. Stay focused. Whether you're a waitress, a truck driver, an architect, a police officer or a CEO, do it to the best of your ability. God is the one who brings promotion. When you set the standard, He will raise you up and pour out His blessing all the days of your life.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, today I choose a path of excellence. I recognize that the work I do is for You. Keep me close to You by the power of the Holy Spirit and help me to rise up higher in every area of my life in Jesus' name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Always Thank Him for Victory


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ..."
(2 Corinthians 2:14, NKJ)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Isn't it wonderful to know that God promises to always lead us into victory? That means no matter what you are facing today, no matter what's going on in the world around you, no matter what anybody says, you should always be thanking God because victory is always on the way! You don't have to wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to celebrate what God is going to do in your life. Praise is putting action behind your faith. In the middle of that adversity or tough time, start making a list of who you're going to invite to your victory celebration. That means if you're in the hospital, start planning what you're going to do when you get out. If you lost some money when the stock market went down, start planning your coming-out-of-debt party. When things don't look good in the natural, remember, we serve a supernatural God. With God leading you into victory, you can always plan for increase. You can plan for restoration. You can plan for a comeback, and you can plan for victory because He is leading and guiding you in Jesus' name!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, I give You thanks and praise today for the promise of victory. Give me Your vision for the future so that I can move confidently into the abundant life You have for me in Jesus' name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen
