Joel Osteen

The scripture says God restored back to Job twice what he had before.

He was more blessed in the second part of his life than he was the first.

Yes, it was dark, but when the sun rose up, he came out with double.

Don't believe those lies that the darkness is permanent.

It's never going to change.

That darkness is a sign that double is coming.

The sun is going to rise in your life again.

You're going to see the goodness of God in ways you've never seen.

He's breathing in your direction right now.

In the unseen realm, things are changing in your favor.

Forces of darkness are being pushed back.

The right brakes are headed your way.

He's going to make things happen that you couldn't make happen.

You're going to know it was the hand of God.

When we talk about Job, we think that must have been 50 years of his life.

That was such a terrible time.

But some commentaries believe the difficulty was only a nine-month period.

It wasn't years and years.

What you're dealing with is not going to last as long as it looks.

It's not going to hinder you the rest of your life.
