    I love your family ❤️ I love the inspiration that you,all have and give 🙏 🥰❤️ I love that seeing and hearing the things that your family ❤️ 🙏🥰 has experienced life. It gives me hope, encouragement.from your mom, and Lisa🙏 from your father's battles ❣️ from Joel olsteen testament,s🙏 and testamonys. To even the point that I went to search for your father's preaching 🙏 not to mention that I loved that sermon that I had him preach on 🙏❤️ not to mention that I had a fantastic father also by the way also named John 💔 who passed away 1weeks after my 56 birthday from congestive 💔heart ❤️ failure. Not to mention that I lost my son 11days prior 3 days before my 56 birthday 💔. He was 33 years old and he had been murdered 💔🙏😇 all in days and week apart from each other all in 2019 of July. God works in mysterious ways. I took a tragedy a horrible tragedy for me to lose my son 💔🙏 and my father a week apart,and when I lost my father my son was still on life support. Not to mention my father was the meteorot of our family he took care of everything. And when I lost my son and my father I went to all alone I feel like I was alone I didn't realize that the Lord was with me 🙏 not to mention I was on drugs happy to say that I'm clean and I've been clean I have a wonderful great strong Pentecost church that I belong to now 🙏❤️ but I was talking to someone just this past Sunday actually in church and I hadn't seen this young lady in over 40 years I invited her to service and she came and I told her it took a tragedy it took my son to lose his life,💔🙏 for me to gain mine his loss of life save my life 🙏🥰. And I just want to say thank you because I love listening to Joel I love your jokes even though sometimes they're not always funny but you're cute ❤️❤️❤️ I love when you talk about your older brother Paul ❤️❤️❤️ and not to mention what your Mom struggle with how she was diagnosed with cancer and I am a cancer survivor myself I did 20 rounds of aggressive chemo I'm 59 I was 40 when I went through that in a double mastectomy in God still has me here 🙏❤️ and I just want to say how much I love listening to you online. I look forward to seeing on Sundays even though you don't always come on in the daytime because of the game now football can you really believe it football!!! Ochh😳 but I would love to be able to hear and see your brother preach in person maybe one day got my bless me to be able to come to Texas to the old rodeo State and to be able to actually sit and see him alive that would be really wonderful and great but until then I will continue to watch you guys on television when I can but listen to you on KZread and my name is Shelly 🙏 I'm from Sacramento California, I am 59 years old now ❤️😳😇🥰🙏🙏🙏 I belong to a great church called Calvary evangelism center in Sacramento California. It's a great church it's full of the spirit and I love it 🥰🙏❤️ and I'm going to save this to my phone for my daughter Brianna I want you guys to pray for my daughter she's schizophrenic she has a very rare form of schizophrenia she's in the hospital she now weighs almost 103 lb she went all the way down to 78 lbs 79 lb. She has a rare illness that stands from schizophrenia that's called catatonia. The way I could just go on and go on and go on and just tell you so much but I'm just going to leave it and say God is good and if you ever want invite me to your church you know I'm always willing to come and see preach in person Joel, but I just wanted to tell you again thanks for the encouragement the strength that uplift and you're right God has a purpose for us all and these things I continue to see in praise his name and thank you in Jesus name amen 🙏❤️❤️❤️

You mentioned: By his stripes Isaiah 53:5, Psalms 91 read it daily, Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against us shall prosper which I read daily. Psalms 27 is so good also. I've recognized the negative thoughts are from evil, not of God. God wants us to be healthy, happy, prosperous, living life! I'm 4 years in this, biopsy tomorrow, same issue your Mother had. I'm healed I can feel it!!! Leaving there tomorrow people are going to know God is God all by himself, miracle worker, same yesterday, today, and forever!!! Amen.🙏🤍🕊💜

Believing the truthfulness of Christ’s spoken words is our ONLY hope. Sent with love, take care and God bless ❤️🙏🏾
