High Time | Joel Osteen

I want to talk to you today about high time.

When we've been believing for our dreams to come to pass for a long time, or problems to turn around, and we don't see anything happening, we're not making progress, we're not getting good breaks, it's easy to lose our passion and not expect things to change.

It's been that way so long, we start accepting it.

I'll never get well.

I'll never break this addiction.

I'll never accomplish my goals.

I tried, I prayed, I believed, but it didn't work out.

That may have been true in the past, but I believe you are entering into a new season.

The scripture says, "Now is the high time to wake up out of your sleep, for you are nearer to your salvation than when you first believed." When God first put the promises into your heart, you were excited.

You told people what you were going to do.

But now it's been months, maybe years.

It hasn't turned out the way you had planned.

You don't think it's ever going to happen.

God is saying you are closer now to seeing it come to pass than you've ever been.

[audience applauding] You're coming into a high time.

High time is when things suddenly change in your favor.

High time is when blessings chase you down.

You don't have to go after them.

They come after you.

High time is when your healing shows up.

You meet the right person.

You break the addiction.

God makes things happen that you couldn't make happen.

Now, if you're going to see this high time, there's something you have to do.

Wake up out of your sleep.
