Joel Osteen - Daily Readings from Break Out!: 365 Devotions to Go Beyond Your Barriers and Live an Extraordinary Life

who is able to do
exceedingly abundantly above all
that we ask or think,
according to the power
that works in us

EPHESIANS 3:20 NKJV

We were not created to just get by with average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling lives. God created us to leave our marks on our generations. Every person has seeds of greatness planted within by the Creator.

So when life weighs upon us, pushing us down, limiting our thinking, labeling us in negative ways, how do we break out and go beyond our barriers of the ordinary into the extraordinary lives we were designed to live? How do we overcome the weariness, discouragements, and setbacks and rise above into the fullness of our destinies?

The key to breaking out is to believe that we have what it takes. When we break through in our minds, believing we can rise higher and overcome obstacles, then God will unleash the power within that will break the power of all that is stealing our joy and keeping us from Gods abundant life.

Sometimes you need words of faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside. Thats the reason Ive written this devotionalto provide you with practical steps and encouragement for creating a life without limitations.

My friend, over the next 365 days, Id like for you to take the journey of a lifetime together with me and explore five powerful keys for your life: to believe bigger, to consider God rather than circumstances, to pray God-sized prayers, to keep the right perspective, and to not settle for good enough. You will find a wealth of Scriptures, inspirational quotations, selected stories, and points for contemplation. All are provided to engage you in a process of reflection that will enhance your faith and lead you to positive actions.

These devotions are written to inspire you in your daily walk with God. While they are not meant to replace your personal time with God, it is my desire that the readings will be keys you can use to unlock doors leading to a fuller life. I hope they will be a springboard to help you draw nearer to God and to help you overcome the challenges or barriers that might keep you from breaking out into your best life.

Your life can be transformed and renewed as you allow Gods Word to refresh and to reshape your thinking, speaking, and daily activities. Allow the Scriptures to speak to your heart. Be still and listen to what God is saying to you. Day by day, the barriers that hold you back will begin to loosen and fall off your life. No matter where you are or what challenges you face, you can start to break free right now!
