Joel Osteen

God wants to bless us where we are.

I’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.

I say, don’t try to fight your own battles because God will do it.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.

Only God can look at somebody’s heart.

God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
