As the creator of Encouragement for Now, an online blog, Joel Yount, in recent times is sought-after for his ministry and speaking engagements. He has impacted devoted Christians across the country by sharing the word of God with inspiration and courage. He is known for spreading God’s word in a fresh, practical, and revelatory way that helps others to fill their mindset with victory, hope and encouragement because in Joel’s words: “You are loved”. His passion is to reach Christian believers and help them to connect the transforming power of God’s word into their everyday life.
 
You don’t necessarily need to have a massive following for doors to open for you. However, you do need a relationship with God!
 
About a month ago I received a speaking invitation from someone who has never heard me speak. They gave me an encouraging word that was right on target.
 
Sometimes we think we have to do all the work at trying to pull doors open for our future when God comes in one day and suddenly reminds us He is in control and can open doors for us that point to our destiny and future. Continue to invest and spend time in your relationship with God. He is your number one divine connection who knows everyone!
Heavenly Father, I pray over my brother or sister in the Lord right now a special favor of open doors. Show them your love and joy over them as they are reading this. We thank you God for the surprises coming to their life. We thank you Lord for the unexpected out of the box creative miracles! Thank you Father that we are reminded of the following scripture verse:
 
“‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.” – Jeremiah 32:17 NKJV
I thank you Lord that what has felt like an exhaustive never ending season of tears for many of my friends is now turning into a season of joy and laughter as they discover new keys that will point them to their destiny and future. In Jesus name, Amen!
 
Blessings,
Joel Yount
 
Here are some recent short words I have written on social media:
 
It’s time to come into agreement now that for every time the enemy has tried to silence you a new platform to share your voice will open up for you!
 
The day you were born you became a prayer that was answered. You have an assignment from heaven that God ordained for you to accomplish on this earth!
 
It’s definitely a season to get a calendar and start using it. You will need it to keep up with all the doors God is opening!
 
Refuse to allow the resistance to stop you. Turn up the speed! Victory is ahead!
 
P.S. Your prayers are valued as God begins to open more and more doors for me to speak and minister.
