Publisher Description
Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church and sister to Joel Osteen, Lisa Osteen Comes, demonstrates how to keep an attitude of faith in discouraging times and to trust God in every season.
At times, we all find ourselves in seasons of waiting—for our dreams to be fulfilled, our prayers to be answered, or our circumstances to change. But your dream has an appointed time and God always has victory in store for you. And the seasons of waiting don't need to be periods of discouragement or hopelessness. Instead, they can be rich periods of joy, growth and preparation for the plans and promotion that God has in store for you.
In It's On the Way, Lisa Osteen Comes reminds readers that during these inevitable times in our lives, God is faithful and our current season is temporary. Lisa teaches readers how to press through challenges, quit taking shortcuts instead of trusting God to give you His best, allow God to fight your battles, and silence the enemy within, while giving encouragement and practical steps to take when you don’t know what to do next.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Comes (You Were Made for More), associate pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, offers an encouraging compendium of wisdom on living a life of faith and discovering God's promises. In an upbeat tone, she acknowledges the frustration of waiting for prayers to be answered and emphasizes that most problems are temporary and that Christians should never give up on their dreams. Turning to stories from the bible and her own live, Comes reveals the anxiety she and her husband felt while struggling with infertility; she believes God answered their prayers and blessed them with three children, including twin daughters. She refers to the story of Daniel in the lions' den throughout (he accepted the "spiritual forces of darkness that will try to oppose, hinder, and pressure" and kept "planning for victory") and reminds Christians of the power of words by stressing that God hears their prayers. Contending that negative thoughts, emotions, and one's spirit are the body's volume controls, she suggests that having a handle on the first two will allow readers to better hear God's direction. Christians looking for hopeful lessons will enjoy Comes's reassuring homily.
