Don’t Wait for the Water to Part-from Joel and Victoria Osteen


TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you...”
(Isaiah 43:2, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD 
When my dad died in 1999, I knew I was supposed to step up and pastor the church. I felt it so strongly inside, but in my mind it just didn’t make sense. I had never ministered before nor been to seminary. I said, “God, this doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m going to take a step of faith, believing that You know what’s best for my life.” As I stepped into the vast water of the unknown, as I got my feet wet, so to speak, that’s when the waters parted. God has taken me places I’ve never dreamed.
Some people are waiting for the waters to part, and then they think they’ll take a step of faith. But your obedience is what causes the water to part! You might think you are waiting on God, but God is waiting on you. If you’ll do what you know God is asking you to do, then your obedience will activate His favor, the increase, the blessing. Much of what happens along the way are simply tests. Don’t wait for the water to part. Step out, believe God and walk into the blessing He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I choose to trust You and step out in faith. I know that You are with me and parting the seas of the unknown in front of me. Show me Your glory as I honor and obey You in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen!
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Every Curse In Your Life Destroyed-Joseph Prince

Galatians 3:13 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), Many believers probably know that when Jesus died, our sins were forgiven because He shed His blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. (Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:22) But why did Jesus have to die on the cross, since the capital punishment of Israel during the time of Christ was stoning and not crucifixion? Jesus hung and died on the cross because He knew the law which says that “he who is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23) He wanted to redeem us from every curse of the law, so He went to the cross, “having become a curse for us”. Jesus took all our curses at the cross, so that we can take all His blessings! The moment you received Jesus, every curse in your life was destroyed. And the way you experience this is to simply bel
