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.

← Cow story d

There was a missionary living in a town where a dairy farmer was selling milk for ridiculous prices. One day a few of the cows walked over to that missionary's house. The missionary returned the cows. This continued for weeks. Finally, the dairy farmer told the missionary to keep those cows. The missionary started selling milk for lower prices putting the dairy farmer out of business. 

• Proverbs 13:21 KJV
  Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

Victoria Osteen

• Luke 2:37 KJV
  And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
  Sometimes that's what we want to do as believers.
  God didn't design us to struggle. So we have to make a decision to love ourselves.
• If you know that there are discouraging people and situations in our paths then we need to plan ahead.
• Psalms 3:3 KJV
  But thou, O Lord , art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
• If you aren't feeling peace about a situation then stand still.
• No one can fill my needs but God. God has my destiny today,  but it's up to me to decide how long it would take.

MAKING ROOM FOR INCREASE

You can't get increase on the outside without making room for it on the inside. You make room for increase on the inside by changing your thinking.

· e.g. if you don't think you will get out of debt then you probably never will.

· Mark 2:22 NIV

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins."

God has unlimited supplies what decreases is our ability to receive it.

·if I have thousands of gallons of water but all you have is a gallon jug then it's obvious that supply is not the issue.

·Matthew 9:29 NIV

Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you";

2 Kings 4:1-7 NIV

The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord . But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves." Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?"

"Your servant has nothing there at all," she said, "except a small jar of olive oil." Elisha said, "Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side." She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another one."

But he replied, "There is not a jar left." Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."

· If she had more jars then she could have gotten more oil

Psalm 35:27 NIV

May those who delight in my vindication

shout for joy and gladness;

may they always say, "The Lord be exalted,

who delights in the well-being of his servant."

· It's ok to want more for yourself.

· There was a man fishing. Everytime that man caught a big fish he would throw out back but he would keep the small fish. Someone finally asked him why he was throwing the big fish back. He said that it was because he only had a ten-inch frying pan. Some people need to buy a new frying pan.

· Some people have a ten-inch frying pan mentality...e.g. well this was my mom's frying pan...we''re just a ten-inch frying pan family.

· Proverbs 13:22 NIV

A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.

Isaiah 60:1 NIV

"Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

· Glory indicates weight.

Psalm 150:2 NIV

Praise him for his acts of power;

praise him for his surpassing greatness.
