Joel Osteen - Get Ready For Overflow (01/06/2020)
Joel Osteen proclaims that God is an «overflow God» who desires to give us more than enough—abundance in joy, resources, relationships, influence, and blessings—so we can bless others. Using stories of Jesus multiplying loaves (with leftovers), quail in the desert, a friend’s miraculous property deals, Peter’s net-breaking catch, acquiring the Compaq Center, and missionaries receiving a resort and youth center, he declares that even in hard places, we are entering a season of bursting-at-the-seams, uncontainable, net-breaking overflow.
Get Ready for Overflow
God did not create us to just get by in life, to just have enough for what we need—we are grateful for that, but God is not a «get by» God; He is an overflow God. He wants you to have an abundance so you can be a blessing to others. When you have so much joy, you bring joy everywhere you go. You have so many resources that you can help those around you.
And you may not have seen this yet, but God is about to do a new thing. One touch of His favor will take you from having just enough to having more than enough. You need to get ready—overflow is coming: you are going to overflow with creativity, with ideas, with talent; overflow with good relationships, with great people in your life; overflow with influence, promotion, resources where you can come out of debt, where you can lend and not have to borrow.
Now get in agreement with God: «Father, thank You that overflow is coming. Thank You that You are a more-than-enough God.»
