Make The Switch | Joel Osteen

About this sermon

Is it God's will to heal you? Learn how shifting your mindset from doubt to faith releases healing and restored health today. When facing illness, addiction, or hardship, praying if it be Your will can keep you trapped in uncertainty. In this message, Joel Osteen shows how understanding God's promises in Scripture changes everything. Discover how Jesus healed all who came to Him, including the leper in Mark 1, and how God brought the Israelites out of Egypt with not one sick among them. Learn how making the switch in your prayer life from asking if God wants to heal you to believing He already carried your sickness releases supernatural favor, strength, and wholeness in your body. Watch 07:11 to see how changing prayer transforms sickness, and jump to 16:16 to see how Jesus breaks longstanding burdens. "You are not a sick person trying to get well; you are a well person fighting off sickness." Joel Osteen This message is for anyone dealing with a chronic diagnosis, battling addiction, or feeling physically and emotionally drained.
