Joel
Osteen's Mother: Miracle Healing Is Real
Joel Osteen is not the only minister with a
story in his family. His mother, Dolores "Dodie" Osteen, releases her
autobiography, If My Heart Could Talk, in stores today.
In the book,
she tells the story of her miraculous battle against liver cancer, her
experiences raising five kids and how she dealt with the death of her husband,
John. She currently describes herself as an "exhorter" at Lakewood
Church.
One way Dodie does that, according to the Houston Chronicle, was
through praying for sick congregants.
"About five or six years ago," she
said, "I was putting on my makeup, and God put it in my heart that He
wanted me to have drive-by healing services for those who are too sick to leave
their cars. I stand out by the church's front door and just get into the car to
pray."
Dodie said she credits God with all the
blessings she has received in life.
She said to the Houston Chronicle, "I could have died when I was 48. Now I'm 82, and I'm working for
Him. I want people to know that God is a good God. He does want to answer
prayers. All we have to do is have faith and hope. Sometimes life is hard, but
God helps us get through."
Things are done in an
oversized way at Houston's Lakewood Church, and the midweek Spanish-language
service was no exception. Almost 1,000 worshipers packed a sanctuary at the
former basketball arena that serves as the centerpiece of
Pastor Joel Osteen's
media-savvy global ministry, and their religious ecstasy almost was palpable.
So spirited was the singing that church doors rattled in their frames.
Miracles
are certainly part of the vast provision that God has made available for you.
Whether
a miracle occurs instantaneously or by process of time, God does heal
yesterday, today, and forever!
Talk
to the God of the universe and let Him work in your behalf.
He
says, “I will instruct you and teach
you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).
Ask
God to show you what to do. Pray the following prayer:
“Heavenly Father,
I admit that I am a sinner and my
sins have separated me from you. I now want to turn away from my past sinful
life and begin a new life with you. Please forgive me.
You know the situation I am in right
now. I lay everything at Your feet, fully believing that You are in control.
I now receive your Son, Jesus Christ
as my Savior, my Master and my Lord. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ
died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the dead.
I want to receive all that Jesus
Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your Word says, ‘Whosoever shall
call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
I believe and confess that Jesus
Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father,
but by Him.
Lord Jesus, I pray and ask You, to
come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I thank you that you have given me
eternal life. I take your promise that by Your stripes I am healed.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the
gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. Thank You that Your Word says I am
born again.
I surrender my life to you. Use me
for your glory.
In Jesus Name. Amen.“
