Hebrews 3:13 says, "Encourage one another daily." Everywhere we go, we should be carriers of God's love and light. One of the best ways to share His love is through encouraging others and lifting their spirits.
Look for opportunities to make others feel good about themselves. Write a note; send a text or e-mail. Let others know you appreciate them. Our thoughts don't bless others until we express them. Love is not love until you give it away. That's why we should be free with our compliments.
If you'll live outward—looking for those you can bless or make feel better— then those seeds you sow will always come back to you. As you help others rise higher, God will help you rise higher.
Is there something that you see every day that reminds you of what you're believing for, something that inspires you and ignites your faith?
Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Many people lose their passion in life because there is nothing to remind them of their dreams, hopes and prayers. That's why vision is so important—what we see each day determines the direction our life will go. Let Joel show you how to have a greater vision for your life. If you'll have a big vision, God will not only do what you're dreaming about, He will do more than you can ask or think.
The moment God put a dream in your heart, He set a completion date.

He will show you how they overcame the temptation to give up and how they eventually saw their promise completed. You will be reminded that whatever God begins in you, He will always complete. He is the author and finisher of your faith!

Did you know that God wants to help you not just in the big things, but even in the small things? But here's the key: God will only be involved in your life as much as you will allow Him.
In this message, let Joel show you how to make God a part of your everyday life. Proverbs 3:6 says, "In all your ways acknowledge God, and He will make your paths straight." When you make God a part of your everyday life and put Him first, He promises He will crown your efforts with success. You will accomplish more than you ever could have on your own.

Did you catch that? The greatest force in the universe lives in you!
In this powerful message, Joel will remind you of this life-changing truth and teach you how to walk in resurrection power each day. It's the power to overcome obstacles, outlast opposition, and the power to accomplish your dreams. It's time to let go of fear and intimidation and live life in the fullness of God's power!
