Being A Magnet For Blessings

Joel Osteen @ Lakewood Church

  • When you honor God he places a commanded blessing on you that acts like a magnet.
    • Deuteronomy 28:1-2 KJVA
      And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the [Lord] thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the [Lord] thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thete, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the [Lord] thy God.

  • When you keep God first place live a heat seeking Missle blessings will track you down
    • Infrared homing refers to a passive missile guidance system which uses the emission from a target of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared part of the spectrum to track and follow it. Missiles which use infrared seeking are often referred to as "heat-seekers", since infrared is just below the visible spectrum of light in frequency and is radiated strongly by hot bodies. Many objects such as people, vehicle engines and aircraft generate and retain heat, and as such, are especially visible in the infra-red wavelengths of light compared to objects in the background. No matter how much the target moves around the missile stays locked. That's how blessings are.
    • I have to keep being my best right where I amand like a magnet l will draw blessings in.
  • What God has planned for me is bigger than my wildest dreams.
    • IF I am not faithful in the wilderness then how can God trust me in the promised land.
    • God has already lined up what I need
    • Matthew 6:33 KJVA
      But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
  • Proverbs 13:22 CEB
    Good people leave their grandchildren an inheritance, but the wealth of sinners is stored up for the righteous.
  • Colossians 3:22-23 CEB
    Slaves, obey your masters on earth in everything. Don't just obey like people pleasers when they are watching. Instead, obey with the single motivation of fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do it from the heart for the Lord and not for people.
    • You cant have faith if you don't first have hope.
    • Hebrews 11:1 KJV
      Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
    • You have to have NOW faith
  • On the first night of Hope a publisher from 1 of the largest book publishing company SAW people going in and through a series of events published Joel's next book and preprinted more copies of his book than any book ever
  • When we dwell on the negative we demagnetize our magnet.
