I feel like I have some letting go and letting God to do.

I'm ready to let go my pride and forgive all who have hurt me. Help me God

On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.AMEN

Amen! This is so true. Praying to bless enemies has truly helped the most difficult circumstances. It takes the anger and sadness out of your own heart when you pray for those who have come against you. I love how Joel explains this. I am going out to my day today with love, kindness and respect in my heart. No matter what. God is so good. Thankful for this message today!

Listening to Joel Osteen helps me to see things in a different perspective and take different action in situations in my life and helps me to change my attitude, understanding.Helps me to be a better human being.

Bless your enemies. Showing God that you are ready. If your enemy is angry give him food. Amen

Would you please pray for me? I need God's help. I am struggling every day with life. I feel broken. I have 2 children and I want to be the best father that I can be. I grew up without a dad because he was killed when I was a young boy. I don' t want my children to grow up without the love of their father like I did. God Bless you and your family too.

The more you bless your enemies THE MORE PROGRESS AND BLESS YOU WILL BE. Try this for a week or month and get back to me.

GOD help me to bless my enemies.

I'm cultivating the attitude of blessing and loving my enemies through JESUS' HELP!!!!!!!

This is difficult but this is what God commanded us to do in the end we shall overcome

I'm so hurt lately because of betrayal from friend, this help me a lot...to let go my feelings my hurt and my pain.

This has helped me a lot today after helping someone that has done me wrong, but I shall respond in kindness. Amen

This sermon is so contrasting with the hating Christian leaders/haters attacking you now. Stay strong. They are showing their true colors as your words are showing yours. Bless your hearts.

Pastor Joel brings up this message consistently. Yes, this is a very hard concept to accept at first, for sure. But, as you get older, and wiser, you'll find yourself looking for this message every time you have a dispute, etc. with others. Yes, anyone can be nice to people who are good to you. If blessing enemies was easy, everyone'd be doing it. I'm gradually realizing the core of this message as I grow old and I'm so thankful to Pastor Joel, as always.

Thank you Jesus for directing me to this sermon. I Forgive and Bless my enemies. May God Bless them and guide them.

Yes, i blessed and forgiven the individuals that betrayed, lied, and was two-faced towards me, and hurted me. Let Universe,,God be the judge and jury. Amen 🙏

Oh i did bless them. Oh but I did be nice to them. In fact I helped them out too. What did I get. Bad emotional mental and physical health. One continued to back stab me and spread false rumors about me I wasn't even able to face the world ! I did my deed but i have now washed my hands off them. I am sure god has told us to stay away from the devil. Well these people my abusers ,I was good to , continue to hurt me. I see no reason to be nice to them It hurts me more and they r toxic for me. I d rather be alone than be around them. I have let them be and movin on. I got to make my life after all the tortures. Abuse leads to breakdowns and loss of finances and health ! Those who have experienced such pain know very well

I will pass the test. I will forgive them. God is my vindicator. Amen. Thank you Joel, God bless you.

Be merciful to people who hurt you.. God will be merciful to you.. God help me forgive people who have hurt me repeatedly so that I remain in peace and come into my beautiful and abundant Life you have for me,,🙏

Enjoy your day everyone

its not easy some people do it with such ease the rest of us have to fight our egos

I claim that I will have total restoration of all that my adversaries have stolen from me. I will not have any reason to have any kind of vindictiveness !!!!! I will continue to be used of God in any way shape or form He so choses.

Blessing your enemies takes you to a better level. Joel I can’t thank you enough.

I need a whole video compilation of Joel's jokes. Love them.

Some say, "only distance yourself from a person who is against you" (which is what the bible calls an adversary or an enemy). But I've learned over time, even though you may be willing to forgive and attempt to overcome a person with love and kindness, they will almost always continue to despise you if they hated you for no reason or for reasons like envy. The bible itself says that a person who is jealous will not be overcome with gifts. This is why despite what you do to humble yourself and show them you aren't their enemy, and you continue to strive to make amends, even when you are not completely or at all in the wrong for the things they take offence to, they will almost always continue to despise you. And because of this, you can't subject yourself to perpetual attacks or bullying, as they continue to slander, demean, or hurt you in other words. Not only is it not good for you spiritually, where it can kill of your spirit, or make you weary and doubtful of God, but you may also start to become provoked. Moving away from an enemy completely when they are not in a stance to make a truce with you, is almost completely for your own sake and to remain humble and in the stance God has commanded you to treat them which is with love. Once you've shown kindness and love and they want to continue to attack, go back and pray for them, that God blesses and favors their life. Then, you simply allow God to fight your battles because if you allow yourself to become provoked and fight back yourself, God may not fight your battles if you take vengenance in your own hand. And then you actually sin too by being spiteful or going "an eye for an eye" in which he can and most likely will punish you, too. That's why he tells you to pray and bless and curse not. And that's why God said vengenance is mine to reassure you that he won't allow you to suffer hurt that he knows you endure while under attack of an enemy. I've learned to not even hope that your enemy receives vengeance from God as it can be simply hoping and wishing or cursing them back. Pray sincerely that God saves your enemy. If someone is saved and you are too, which is evident in keep God's commandments after receiving the Holy Spirit by grace, they wont be your enemy and attack you anymore and God will wipe away their sins including what they've done wrong to you so they dont have to face his fiery fury or wrath. That's why we pray for them. Not to discourage anyone, but I've also seen where someone who you knew was an enemy got saved but still continued to show the same hositlity towards you as if they had never been transformed into a new creature as the bible says all repented, washed in both water and spirit, and thus saved would. This has troubled me because it can make people around doubt God's divine power of being able to transform deliver, and heal. But thankfully, instead of doubting God when you see they are not acting as if God's power has transformed them, I take into consider that my experience for myself is my biffest proof that Gods power is really real because I know he put new joy and an eagerness to serve him in me and I can feel that transformation myself so I don't have to base it on someone else's experience. Sadly, some people may actually pretend to be tranformed as they may never have really put it in their heart to sincerely repent. Or they could simply still be such new to faith that they need to fast and pray to "break the yolk of bondage", which are passed sins God may have forgiven them from that they are still struggling to resist the temptations for when the devil brings it to them. In all, whether they become another brother or sister and Jesus and attack you still, or they just remain an adversary outside tbe body of Christ, pray for them and continue to love, pray for, and bless them. If they are outside tje body of Christ, or not saved, you should be able to walk away from thrm completely and still pray for them. I always tell myself that if I ever saw that enemy on the street corner with no food, water, or shelter, I would feed them, give them to drink, and help find them shelter as Jesus commanded. But other than that, I'd stay away from them and continue to pray for them.

May God give me more grace to bless my enemies

Thank you Pastor Joel. This message came just right in time when i needed it. I have been holding onto a grudge over my friend ignoring me for a while and it has been indeed poisoning my life. Couldn't sleep at night and had no appetite. This message teaches us that we should release our grudges and bitterness to God, he'll be the judge and the vindicator and he'll handle those people that did you wrong.

sometimes if you are too kind to your enemies they will take advantage of you and take you for granted because they will expect you will always forgive. I think there should be limit. Some people are tremendous evil and we need to protect ourselves against them.

This is true..God's children will never harm agonist the evil...experience of my co workers..Lay your hands on God In prayers.. God will lift you up..no matter how destroy you..and lying about you...God will twist them all..God's powerful love to those who trust..believe in Him..Amen,

This right here shows me that i have a long way to go. This is so hard to do. When people do me wrong, i let it slide, drop and move on. I do it fo my sakes. I dont seek out to get even with those that do me wrong, i just leave them alone and go on about my business. Now if anyone causes harm to me or my family, then lord forgive me, because im going to have to rough someone up

Thank you Lord for blessing me more than I deserve. Be blessed, to be a blessing to others. Hate will only consume you. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil. Romans 12:20-21, Psalm 23:4, Exodus 14:14, Proverbs 11: 27, Jeremiah 29:11, Luke 6:27-28 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. #IAmForgiven #IForgiveYou #BeABlessing #CarryTheSpiritOfLove #BlessYourEnemies #GodIsAwesome #IShallGiveYouPeace

May the lord bless all my enemies in jesus name forgive them lord give them a peace heart amen

God is speaking to me this morning. Thank you Joel for your prayers. So blessed to hear your services every morning

This is one of the best speeches i have ever heard! Thanks Joël!

Everyday I pray for my enemies and realize they need it more than I do God is good 👼

The first time I've ever prayed for my enemy was in 4th grade to my teacher. She was friends with my friend's mom and every time I was talking to my friend I would be called out and not her. Each semester we would have an awards ceremony and even though our grades were the same and my participation was more I was in 2nd place and my friend was 1st place. When I prayed for my teacher and my friend a prayer of blessing, it changed the way that I viewed them. Each time I saw them I would not be reminded of this unfair treatment. If I was reminded, I knew I need to keep praying for them. The 2nd semester I was tied with her for 1st place! When we follow God's way we are filled with true peace and joy. We need to stop trying to resolve conflict our own ways!! We must follow God's ways. If we trust God then we trust his Commandments. I am now 25 y/o and I still follow this way of praying for those I have conflict with such as my coworkers/boss, roommates, parents, etc. The first time you ever pray this way it is hard, no joke. It gets easier over time. You think that person doesn't deserve the blessings and you do! But did you forget that God is a JUST God? He will determine who is deserving of the blessings. God will also open your eyes up to whether or not you are at fault for any of the conflict. A lot of times our ego/pride blinds us from seeing who is actually at fault. When we see what is our fault we must repent for it. Whenever we follow God's commandments, we experience peace and joy. Our unforgiveness is what is stealing our peace and joy. The purpose of us praying for our enemies is to lessen our ego/pride daily so there is less of us and more of Him. Here's how to pray and ask God to bless those you have tension with/are jealous of/hate: --Ask God for strength to pray that prayer. --Ask God that all the blessings He would have blessed you with would be given to that particular person and it be overflowing. --Ask God to bless that person in their finances, health, family/relationships, work, etc. Ask God that every aspect of their life would prosper. --Ask God that all the things that person desires will be given to him/her even if it is disadvantageous to you ----Only ask God to BLESS and not curse or for God to change that person Each time you are reminded of that person/situation, keep praying again and again blessing over them. I pray that for anyone who reads this comment will give it at least a 2 week trial. it is worth it if you want to experience peace and joy in your life and to see what God will do. Even if it isn't your fault for what happened, when you pray and ask God to bless that person, know that God is fair and just and he will give the blessings to those who deserve it. When we ask God to bless those we don't get along with, we see the situation through God's perspective and no longer our own.

I was praying about my enemies and wanting God's destruction upon them. Then, in desperation, I asked God what I should do (I was also scrolling through KZfaq without looking down). Finally, I looked down and saw that I had clicked on this sermon titled: "Bless Your Enemies". I knew that God was reiterating something he has been working on me about. Thank God for His direction!

Iam Hindu but still Jesus is with me

Enimies never wins , keep living an you will see

Everything in my life was orchestrated by God. That’s my story.

Dear God🙏♥️💕 in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.

'that's what allows the Creator of the Universe to go to work'. Something to think and pray about.

Please pray I find prosperity and peace in my life I live in constant pain and stress Please pray for improvement in my life

My pet peeve, lying and people try to sabotage me, God, help thru this,Amen.

It's challenging but with the strength of God anything is Possible 🙏🏼

To forgive those who trespass against me. That is too difficult!

To almighty jehovah God be the glory and the glory be too almighty jehovah God. 😇🙏🏽🙋🏽‍♀️😊🤟.amen

God is using Joel Osteen to spread the message of the Lord. I look at him as an instrument of Our Almight Lord!

I'm glad I watched this today... I need to work on this

I think this is the hardest thing to do. I pray that we can all do this. With Jesus' help. ❤️🙏🌿☘️

Joel, thanks to you and your family. You inspire me, a non-Christian of Christian upbringing to reconsider my views. I DO feel the love of God. I always have despite my attempts to push it away, much like my enemies. This is a valuable lesson. Brandon

Joel Osteen I'm really very sorry coz I quit watching your videos for weeks since I heard that you're a false prophet...But you're not.You make my relationship with God even closer,You taught me how to have hope on GOD,taught me how to have a powerful power,etc......Thank you very much.I'll always remember you in my prayer.GOD bless you.

I have grown as a person from listening to this man. Thank you. Bless you.

Pastor Joel, I am praying that our Father continues to bless you in mighty ways so that your voice continues to be heard shining in the darkness. Our prayers are with you during Hurricane Harvey so that our Rock, our Strength, and our Fortress will surround you, your family, and the church with His peace and protection. May the Lord use this tragic event to bring many to salvation in Jesus' name. Amen.

Truly to say, its hard. But I'll try my best to bless my enemies.

i don't care what anyone says about you Joel Osteen but there is a higher power which speaks through you.am going through a very difficult and trying time in my life right now but after watching your video,i have let go of some of the bitterness i have been carrying for a while and yes it feels good.,i know and believe that with time i'll be free of every anger that i have been walking around with.it's hard to forgive someone who is not sorry but GOD is good and i believe he has a purpose for me.

Amen❤God bless our enemies❤In Jesus❤name❤Amen❤

I DON'T see God taking care of these enemies! Uggghh

To me blessing your enemies is being a doormat.

Sometimes you gotta give your bed to your enemies . God knows what I speak

I would bless my enemies and God would take care of them.

TENK’S LORD TO GEIVE AS,GUIDANCE,AND Knowledge true,TO YOU SHOSEN, dedicate people that you choose faithful servants who love you and combine the message to all the people !❤️🌷🙏🏻🌷❤️

Its not about forgiving to get blessed rise higher it s about living at peace because youve healed and you just wanna be good to people

I ALWAYS BLESS MY ENEMIES! AMEN

Its much harder when they're not even sorry and turn everything on you as if you deserved it.

I just can't say how much this sermons help me. Thank you so much pastor. Love from India.

If God can forgive you when you were off course, you can too .

Dear Lord, pls help me to 4give and 4get those , who hurts and betrayed me .

Excellent sermon! So very useful in this day and age. Thank you brother!

I will always put my trust in God hands on my health

Please don't bless our enemies, let's pray for them. Which they don't know the way of the Lord yet.

This is so true for me cause I have been there with many people who made fun of me as a child and I have forgiven them. Also years later when I worked with someone who I had ups and downs with, but I will only think of the good this person done for me.

I just don't fool with people that don't like me..iv had a lot of stupid stuff happen in my life but I look to God for guidance

Joel have pray for me before. I wrote on my Facebook page saying someone please pray for me. and Joel said no matter what you going through believe that God is with you. at the end of what I was going through God was on my side. Amen.true story.

I called God the Restorer the past 15 years. When I was restored to the Lord, I noticed all the things (I mean things-things) I had lost to evil people doing me harm that were beginning to be restored to me. Things I had lost were returned. I was given a loving husband, a good home, a good car, a good life with people around me. I have experienced God saying, 'Put it on my account, I will pay you back.' just like you said. God had truly restored what I lost!

It's always good to listen to him. I get my answers immediately. Glory to God alone!

The more you Bless your enemies the more you are lifted. God will open your ways. God Bless you.

Thank you Joel for reminding me

Its definitely a challenge to forgive those who cause us pain and sorrow, but overcoming and letting love win, is victorious.

My thinking just change.... Help me God 🙏

God for give me all my sins and I forgive all those who wronged me

JEHOVAH BLESS YOU ON THE THRONE, because that is where you belong! BLESS YOUR SON, MY LORD and SAVIOR.... JESUS CHRIST! THANK YOU, FATHER because the enemy trying to defeat ME does not have the power that YOU THE ALMIGHTY has in my LIFE. Pastor JOEL OSTEEN, THANK YOU for always directing your followers towards KINDNESS and FAVOR from JEHOVAH!
