Say What?

God wants you to have a really big house in Hawaii.

According to best-selling author and Texas-based spiritual leader Joel Osteen (“Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential”) it’s our own thoughts that condemn us to a life of mediocrity.

In his current book, he tells a story of a husband and wife on vacation in Hawaii. The husband looks up at a huge mansion on a hill overlooking the ocean, and says to his wife: “I can’t even imagine living in a place like that.” According to Osteen, he never will – because his own limited imagination is keeping him from the bounty of God!

“God wants to increase you financially,” says Osteen. And quoting from the Bible: “Set your mind and keep it set on higher things.”

Osteen, who claims to know God personally, is delivering the following message: You want a house in Hawaii? Don’t back away from God’s blessing. See yourself in that house, and eventually it will be yours! So what are you waiting for! Ask God for your house now!
