The Power of Encouragement
Joel OsteenAbout this sermon
In this message, Victoria will inspire you. God wants us to show up strong with encouragement for other people. The Scripture says, “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness” (Hebrews 3:13). To encourage means “to impart courage, to make fearless, to make brave.” God is saying that if we stand together like the defensive line on a football team, we will stand victoriously against the enemy’s deceit and discouragement. Encourage your family, encourage your children, encourage your coworkers, encourage your boss, encourage your pastor. Ask God to give you someone today to encourage in a meaningful and profound way. Let’s push back the darkness with encouragement every day! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I believe God has got amazing things in 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:51.280 your future. I hope you enjoy this message. I believe 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:56.160 that God wants every one of us to be a superhero. See. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.680 God wants us to be fearless and courageous. He wants 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.120 us to be like the ones you see in the movies. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.680 You know how they are about like the time the 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.359 enemy gets a hold of them, they fall down. He's 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.520 got them in the gridlock. That superhero turns around and 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.480 swirls around and before you know it, he's defeating the enemy, 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.680 or he comes out of nowhere. You know, you don't 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.720 know what happened to him. He comes out of nowhere 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.560 and shows up strong on the scene. You see, he 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.680 may fall, but he shows up strong. And I believe 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.600 that God wants us to show up strong. He wants 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.960 us to show up strong, not only for ourselves, but 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.640 for other people. He wants us to be a superhero. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.840 And as we were singing together, that's how we're gonna 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.760 become this superhero powerhouse for Almighty God. It's only gonna 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.640 come when we do it together. You see, we're not 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.560 islands among ourselves. We were not intended to be alone. 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.600 When God created man, he said, you need a helpmate. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.680 You need someone who's gonna link arms with you. You 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:11.000 need someone that can help you move forward, perpetuate my kingdom. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.680 You see, we were never designed to be alone. The 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.959 scripture says that two are better than one because when 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.040 one falls, the others there to pick him up. You see, 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:27.280 we are going to defeat the enemy. We are going 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.400 to move forward when we're linked arms doing it together. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.840 In Hebrews three point thirteen, listen to what it says. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.240 It says to encourage one another daily. Now that sounds great, 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.560 doesn't it. Boy? You look good today. Oh I like 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.560 that presentation at work. Well, you're so pretty. We should 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.320 do that, shouldn't we. We should encourage each other daily. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.440 That's what God says, encourage each other daily. You know, 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.680 God formed us in our mother's womb. He made us, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.120 and he knows how we operate. You see, we have 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:06.760 instructions on how to operate to our highest potential and performance, 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.680 and we can find them in the word of God. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.080 So he says, encourage each other daily. Now listen to 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.400 the rest of that verse, because this is the weighty 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.039 and meaty part of the verse. You see. If you 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.760 just encourage, that's great. You'll do it if you want to. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.480 If you think about maybe I should go over and 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.120 see my grandmother today, but I really don't have time. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.440 I've got a lot of things to do. We don't 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.520 take encouragement as seriously. But listen to this part. This 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.679 is what God was saying would happen when we stand together, 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.840 link arms and encourage each other daily. It's said to 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:45.480 encourage each other daily, so the deceitfulness of sin doesn't 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:51.839 harden our hearts. There's a weighty promise right there. When 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:58.360 we stand together. Guess what we stand opposing the enemy's deceit. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.400 He wants to to deceive us. He wants us isolated. 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.840 He doesn't want us to have the support that we 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:06.839 were designed to have. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:08.280 See. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:13.680 God says, if you will encourage, you will be encouraged. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:19.240 If you will encourage, you can stand against the enemy 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.720 for someone else. See, sometimes when you need encouragement, it's 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.000 hard to stand against the enemy. When you're discouraged, it's 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.200 hard to stand against the enemy. I've seen people get 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:35.839 so discouraged, so down, so defeated, they couldn't even think straight. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.560 You know, when you're discouraged and down and defeated, that 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.600 is the time that the enemy wants to come in 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.159 and have a heyday in your mind. He wants to 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.360 tell you that you're not good enough, that you can't 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.040 do it, that you'll never get well. You guys will 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.479 quit trying. You see, when you're down and discouraged, that's 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.240 when the enemy can come in. But when you have 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.440 people around you that are willing to take this script 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.120 seriously and say I'm not gonna let them get down 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.440 because I have the power to stand against the enemy 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.160 for them. You See, isn't it interesting that God said 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:20.200 our encouragement. Our encouragement can stand against the enemy. Christian 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.400 Covington was here earlier in the eight thirty service. I 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.479 looked over at him, and he's huge. He places for 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.479 the Texans. Do y'all know Christian Covington, all right? Well, 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.240 he's huge, And I thought, well, that's what we look 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:36.400 like on the inside. Big, kind of like John Boy here, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:42.320 John Gray Boy, big and strong. That's what we look 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.200 like on the inside. I was thinking about how when 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.479 Christian Covington and his team they play on the defense. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.240 Don't ask me positions. I just know they play on 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.360 the defense. I also know that the defensive line is 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.400 there to stand together so that the other team, the opponent, 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.000 can score on their team. I do know that much 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.479 about football. You would be proud of me. But the 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.040 way they do it is they stand together. They know 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.160 each other is right there, and they're not gonna let 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.080 their opponents score. Do you know when we stand together 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.560 locked arms, we don't let the enemy score on each other. 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.200 He cannot score. 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:25.760 See. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:34.000 Encouragement means to impart courage. It means to make fearless, 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:40.000 make brave, impart courage. That's what God is saying in 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.680 part courage to one another, because see, the enemy wants 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:50.640 to discourage, He wants to take our courage. He wants 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:55.320 to subtract from what God is doing in our life. See, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.720 we have to stand together. We have to be superheroes. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.960 When I look at Hebrews three thirteen in this light, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.760 I feel like wonder Woman. I think, you know what, 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.560 every time I encourage somebody, I am slashing at the enemy. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:16.840 I am kicking him, I'm defeating him, I'm pushing him back. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.560 You ever see, wonder Woman, You can be Clark Kent 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.400 if you're a guy, stip in in the phone booth 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.960 and come out Superman. But that's the truth. I really 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.920 believe that. I believe if we understand the power of encouragement, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:40.040 we're going to be empowered to encourage. Listen, encourage your family, 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:47.520 Encourage your children, Encourage that coworker, Encourage your boss. Hey, 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.200 encouragement doesn't mean they're being you encourage them because they're 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.280 being nice to you. You encourage them because God is 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.040 impressing on you that if you'll do that, you can 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.160 stand on that defensive line. And I really believe when 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.880 he says encouraging one another daily, that that means there's 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.240 a great exchange that takes place. See, if every one 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:14.199 of us would encourage someone daily, what would this world 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:19.120 look like? How strong would we really be? See, we 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.160 can think a lot of things, We can think a 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.000 lot of encouragement. We can think about doing a lot 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:29.480 of things. But it's not until we stand strong and 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.200 take action and begin to impart courage to each other 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.800 that things will change. You. See, you can't do anything 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.400 about someone's situation. Was talking to a staff member the 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:45.319 other day. Hurricane Harvey, five feet of water in her 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.600 home came rushing in. Her family had to leave, her 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.280 family or children. They had to leave immediately. She left 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.079 with nothing. When they got themselves settled into a place 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.200 of dry ground and the reality started settling in that 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.319 they had just lost all their material possessions in their home, everything, 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.560 she was devastated. She said, I was so discouraged. I 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.320 was so overwhelmed. I felt numb, and I couldn't even move. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.280 My husband, being the head of the house, couldn't believe 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.319 that he had just lost everything, and how was he 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.200 going to rebuild his family's life. He looked at her 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.800 and he said, we got to get out of the state. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.680 We have got to get out of this situation in 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.440 our mind, this atmosphere of defeat. Let's go to the 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:32.520 church and help out. We were people volunteers all over 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.040 the place, distributing, doing what they could do. She said, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.880 I simply sat there thinking, I can't. I don't even 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.520 know what to think. I have no makeup, I have 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.920 not even a hair tie to tie my hair back with. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:53.560 I don't want to go. Then she began to put 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.520 a smile on her face and said, about that time, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.440 a friend of mine showed up, showed up with a 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.880 bag full of makeup. She said, not only did God 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.720 tell her the color foundation that I wore, she brought 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:14.520 all the extras, the Msscara, the blush, and the lip gloss. See, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:22.600 that's something that only a woman can appreciate. You See, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:27.640 her friend that day was standing in the defensive line 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.880 for her. See her friend that day allowed God to 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:37.079 breathe life back into her soul. She was discouraged, she 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:42.480 was overwhelmed, but that friend used the power of encouragement 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:47.200 to get her one step closer to her victory, one 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.679 step closer to her victory, she said. She put that 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.720 makeup on, went to her husband and said, I'm ready 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.080 than ever to go. I'm as ready as I'll ever be. 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.360 He went to the church and began to help other people. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.680 I saw her yesterday. If you looked at her, you 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.679 wouldn't know that what she had been through. You wouldn't 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.720 know that she was fighting the good fight of fate 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.920 because she said, every day God said, someone show up 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:19.040 to bring me courage and encourage my heart. You see, 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.160 the enemy wanted to defeat her. He wanted to get 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.560 her thinking going in the wrong direction. Because see, if 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.520 he can get your thinking going in the wrong direction, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.120 he can get your life going in the wrong direction. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.400 And that's what discouragement does. It gets your life going 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.439 in the wrong direction. Hey, as far as it's up 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:43.160 to us, we can't let those around us see discouragement 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.959 or be discouraged. Because we're the Church of the Living God. 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:52.439 We are the superheroes for God Almighty. You see, we 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.440 we could not do a thing about her five foot 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.320 of water in her home, right, I mean, we couldn't 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.600 change that city situation. I heard it said like this, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.160 it's not what happens to you, it's what happens in 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.720 you that makes the difference. And because she had a 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:14.520 friend that day encourage her and in part courage. The 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.720 thing that the enemy wanted to do did not happen 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.319 in her. It didn't happen in her. You see, her 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.640 friend gave her that courage to keep her heart so soft, 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:29.520 to believe that God had possibilities, that it could be 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.800 better than ever, that she could get up again and 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:38.680 move forward. That's what encouragement does to us. The Israelites 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.600 in Exodus six, it says they were too discouraged to believe. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:49.720 They couldn't even hear the words of Moses when God 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.760 was trying to tell them what he wanted to do 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:57.600 for them. Because they were so deep and buried under discouragement, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:03.120 they could not even hear about the God of the impossible. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:09.480 Don't allow anyone around you to be discouraged, because we 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.720 are here to tell people about the God of the possible. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.560 They don't have to lose hope, because we serve the 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.800 God that can do anything, if we will stay encouraged 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.040 and continue to impart courage. I truly believe that that 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:31.480 exchange works two ways. We will also be encouraged. When 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:36.120 you encourage, you'll be encouraged. When you're encouraged, you'll be 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:41.160 strengthened to encourage yourself. Do you know there's studies that 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:46.720 say when you encourage people, when you help someone, that 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:52.040 it is an emotional high that literally releases dopamine in 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:57.120 your brain and makes you happy. You see, it empowers you. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:03.560 And when you're empowered with this emotion of happiness, then 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.440 you can go and help other people. When you're empowered 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.960 with emotion of happiness, you can help yourself. Because see, 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.720 I truly believe there will be days that we have 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.520 to encourage ourself, just like David. But God wants us 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:25.240 to get good at encouraging others and encouraging ourselves because 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.800 those days that we can't, He'll provide, just like my friend. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:35.200 You know, sometimes encouragement is just simply showing up with 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.040 a broom and a mop or a bag of makeup. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.760 You see, we need to encourage not only with our words, 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:49.040 but with our actions. Ask God, give me somebody every day, 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.760 God that I can have a exchange with, that I 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.240 can encourage in a meaningful and profound way. If we 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.200 will all ask God to get us that one person. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.920 Put that one person on our heart, whether it's your child, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:10.360 your husband, your friend, your co worker, your boss. I 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.320 believe that God will do things in our life that 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.440 we can't even ask, think or imagine. Amen, let's push 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.400 back darkness with our encouragement. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.440 Thank you for listening to the joel Ostein podcast.
