Yes Is Coming

- Joel Osteen 04/14/2018

You may have had a lot of "No's" in the past, your dreams haven't come true yet, but God is saying, "This is going to be a year of 'YES,' yes to the healing, yes to the promotion, yes to the breakthrough"

What hasn't worked out in the past is suddenly going to fall into place. Doors you thought were closed are suddenly going to open. Dreams you've given up on, promises you've let go of, thought, "There's no way," God is about to make a way.

In this year of "Yes," God is going to reverse the "No's". The times you've been denied, turned down, told, "No, thanks," that's not the end, it just wasn't the right time. Yes is coming. Yes to the dream you quit pursuing, yes to the business you've been wanting to start.

Don't let people talk you out of your dreams. God has the final say. He's saying, "Get ready for 'YES'. Yes to increase. Yes to freedom from the addiction. Yes to seeing your family restored. Yes to new opportunities".

God is going to put you at the right place at the right time. He's going to send divine connections, people that will go out of their way to be good to you. You couldn't make it happen. It was the favor of God bringing you into your yes.

In this year of "Yes," God is going to have the right people put in a good word for you. You may not think you have the connections. Don't worry, you have friends in high places. God is not only guiding and directing your steps, he's lining up the people you need. He's arranging things in your favor.

In 2 Corinthians from the message translation, "Whatever God has promised gets stamped with yes". That means the dreams God's placed in your heart, the promises he's spoken over you, have already been stamped with yes. God has already set the date to bring it to pass. It's already on the schedule.

"God's yes with our yes together makes it a sure thing". God is saying, "Yes". Now he needs your yes to make it happen. God's yes by itself is not enough. God works where there's faith.

When it comes to God, be a yes man, be a yes woman. God says he's restoring health back into you. You can think of all the reasons why you're not going to get well or you can be a yes man. "Yes, God, I agree. Thank you that I'm getting healthier, thank you that I'm getting stronger".

God said in Psalm 65 that he's going to crown your year with a bountiful harvest. You can go around not expecting good breaks, not expecting to get ahead. Or you can be a yes man, "Yes, God, I agree. Thank you that it's going to be a blessed, prosperous, abundant, bountiful year". That's not just being positive, that's putting your yes with God's yes.

God said what was meant for your harm he's going to turn and use to your advantage. You can dwell on all your hurts, what didn't work out, the people that did you wrong, or you can be a yes man. "Yes, God, I agree. Thank you for beauty for these ashes. Thank you that you're my vindicator. Thank you that you're fighting my battles".

You may not have seen it yet, but this is a new day. You are coming into a year of yes. Put your yes with God's yes and watch what happens.

"I may have had some 'NO's' but I have some inside information. I know my 'YES' is coming. God has spoken it over me. I may not see it yet but I walk by faith and not by sight. I know my 'YES' is coming".

You may have had a lot of "No's". People have tried to discourage you, make you think that it's never going to happen. You need to get ready. Your "Yes" is coming. God may have said "No" in the past. Doesn't mean it's going to be "No" in the future. God is going to turn around some "No's" for you.

You have the promise from the God who spoke worlds into existence. He's saying, "If you'll put your 'YES' with my 'YES' I'll turn the 'NO's' around".

Those situations that seem permanent. The addiction you've dealt with for years, health issue that won't go away, maybe a struggle in your finances. Seems like you're stuck. Thoughts tell you, "Just accept the 'NO's.' just get used to it". Don't believe those lies. What you've been dreaming about, that child to get back on course, that business to take off, that person to spend your life with. You need to get ready. Your time is coming. Your "Yes" is headed your way.

God has the right people lined up for you. In this year of "Yes," you're going to see doors open that you haven't been able to open for years. The dream God has placed in your heart has already been stamped with yes. Are you adding your "Yes" to God's "Yes"? Are you thanking God, even though you don't see anything happening? Heaven is saying, "Yes," yes to your dream, yes to your healing, yes to the freedom, yes to the breakthrough.

The problem is if you keep adding your "No" to God's "Yes," you can cancel out what God has in store. Other people's "No" cannot stop you. What they say, what they do, they don't control your destiny. The enemy's "No" cannot stop you. What you believe is what matters. God needs your "Yes". He has amazing things in your future. He's going to give you more influence and favor than you've ever imagined.

Now keep adding the "Yes". Thoughts may tell you "No". Circumstances may tell you it's never going to happen but your "Yes" and God's "Yes" makes it a sure thing. Why? Because God controls the universe. One touch of his favor can turn a "No" into a "Yes".

You need to get ready. Your "Yes" is on the way.

Even when you feel like God has said, "No," if you'll dare do like Hezekiah and ask God for the "Yes," your faith can cause God to change his mind. And in this year of "Yes," God is going to reverse some "No's". Mistakes that you've made, God is going to correct them and give you another chance. Opportunities that you've missed, he's going to bring them back across your path. The things that have been a struggle, the constant pressure, it's going to suddenly turn around.

Every circumstance said, "Forget it. God said 'NO'. Just live with it". Their attitude was, "God, we know you control the universe. And even though this seems like a 'NO' to us, we're asking in your great mercy to change your mind and give us a 'Yes'". Are you bold enough to ask for a "Yes," even though all you keep getting are "No's"?

If you're going to see your "Yes," you have to be determined. If you accept the first "No," you weren't serious about it. The "No's" are a test. God wants to see how bad do you want it. If you get discouraged, give up, you didn't want it badly enough. You have to keep asking, keep praying, keep believing, keep dreaming, keep hoping. If one door closes, try another door. If one company says "No," try another company. If one bank turns you down, try another bank.

Don't get discouraged by the "No's". The "No's" are a part of your destiny. They're leading you to the "Yes"

You have to come to your closed doors before you'll get to your open doors.

You may have had a lot of "No's" in the past, things haven't worked out. You need to get ready. Your "Yes" is coming. God is going to open doors that you could not open. He's going to cause people to change their mind and go out of their way to be good to you. It's going to be unprecedented favor. You will know it is the hand of God.

Believe that God will open the right doors

There are "Yeses" in your future that are going to thrust you to the next level. God is going to open doors that no man can shut. He's going to bring divine connections, people that will use their influence to push you into your purpose

You may have had a lot of "No's" in the past but you need to get ready. I believe and declare you are coming in to your year of "Yes". God is saying, "Yes" to the opportunity, "Yes" to the right person, "Yes" to the healing, "Yes" to the breakthrough. Your "Yes" is on the way, in Jesus' name.
