Joel Osteen - You Are Very Powerful

I want to talk to you today аbout: You Are Very Powerful. What you're up against may be big, but it's no match for you. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you. It's a power so strong, that it couldn't keep Jesus in the grave. A power so strong, that a teenage shepherd boy defeated a giant. A power so strong, that prison doors open for Paul and Silas. A power so strong, that a fiery furnace couldn't burn three Hebrew teenagers. A power so strong, that the Red Sea parted from Moses. That's the power that's in you. You're not ordinary, you're not common, you are very powerful. It may have stopped some people, but not you. You are very powerful.

How much further will you go, how much more will you accomplish, how many giants will you defeat, if you'll start seeing yourself for who you really are? Not just powerful, but very powerful.

Is your thinking keeping you from being very powerful? Or wrong mindset stopping the strength, the favor, the victory that belongs to you? Why don't you believe that you are very powerful, that you are a giant killer, that you are a barrier breaker, that you too are a history maker?

What can you change if you'll start seeing yourself as very powerful? What addictions can you break? What barriers can you overcome? What dreams can you accomplish if you'll get rid of a weak, defeating, I'm-ordinary mentality, and start seeing yourself the way God made you to be, as very powerful?

You can't go around magnifying all the negative. You need to magnify what God put in you. He didn't just make you powerful, he made you very powerful. You can be very powerful, and cancel it out with the wrong mindset.

God has made you very powerful, the question is: how do you see yourself? Strong, confident, favored? Or do you see yourself like Gideon?

Don't go through life not recognizing who you are. The Lord your God has made you very powerful. You are strong, you are anointed, you are favored.
