Everyone has things that are trying to hold them back: guilt from past mistakes, temptations that they can't seem to overcome, or dysfunctions that have been passed down. It's easy for people to learn to live with these problems and accept them as who they are. Everyone can all find a reason to live like they're at a disadvantage and become negative and bitter. But they have to stop making excuses, and not let the past keep them from moving forward and benefitting from the good things God has in store. Here Joel Osteen writes that people weren't created to go through life weighed down by addictions, dysfunction, guilt, or the past. God created people to be free. Joel encourages listeners to leave behind the negative mindsets, the scarcity mentality, and the limitations others have put on them, and shows how to step into new levels of victory, new levels of favor.
