I was given the opportunity by Faith Words, Hachette Book Group and NetGalley to read an advance copy of this book and I am so grateful. Speak the Blessing by Joel Osteen was inspiring and uplifting. We all have a tendency to go through life and only think about our problems, the negative. It is always so hard to think of the positives as well as speak the positives. Speak the Blessings is a reminder to all of us to speak our blessings out loud. What we speak will help guide us to what we receive. Speak your Blessings will send your words in the right direction. Get the negative out of your head and put in place your blessings. God is always with you, speak your blessings out loud.

Speak and Declare Your Blessings

I truly love the title the author chose for chapter 1, which is, Miracles in Your Mouth: Get your heart and your words going in the right direction and just dare to say what God says about you. Throughout this book, Joel Osteen states many times with references to biblical, personal, or situations and/or events whereas one should not say anything negative about unpleasant things in their lives, but should be on the offensive. That is, we should speak our blessings, because he states that there is power when you come into agreement with yourself, when you get your heart and mouth in agreement and start speaking your blessings.

Throughout this book, the author provides numerous scripture backed sayings regarding speaking your blessings, such as:
1. Are you speaking faith-filled words of blessing over yourself, over your children, your health, your finances?
2. When God speaks, His words are so powerful that things happen for which there is no explanation.
3. The blessing is a supernatural empowerment, a divine favor that will thrust you where you can’t go on your own.
4. To receive the blessing, you have to get rid of the negative things that people have spoken over you.
5. Why don’t you spend fifteen minutes and google scriptures that speak the blessing to whatever you’re facing?
6. You can’t talk defeat and have victory.
7. Declare It - Words of blessing have the power to ignite something in your spirit, to wake up dreams, to unleash the favor, the gifts, and the potential that God put in you.

Another chapter that I found very interesting is chapter 6, which is, Your Words Become Your Reality, when you speak blessing, faith, favor, and victory, that’s what allows God to do the impossible. The author states that words are like seeds, and when you speak something out, you give life to what you’re saying. He, further, states that negative thoughts will come. The key is to not say them.

In the chapter dealing with praise. The author states that An Atmosphere of Praise is when we’re always thanking God for who He is and what He’s done, you’re going to draw in favor, good breaks, peace, and joy. Because, as the author states, when we’re full of praise, we’re building a throne for God to sit on, for praise activates His power. Praise causes angels to go to work. Praise opens prison doors. Praise breaks chains. Praise defeats giants.

This is a very good book for anyone to read who's going through a rough time in life. I highly recommend it.

Joel Osteen’s writings are upbeat and lively that it’s hard not to be swept up in the feeling that your best friend is giving you a dose of positivity. Prior to this, I’ve always opted for the audio version of his books. While reading Speak the Blessing, I couldn’t help but hear his voice in my head.

During challenging times and situations, he’s just the man to have in your ear to keep hope and optimism alive. He’s unfailingly positive, and it’s refreshingly empowering.

In truth optimism and faith don’t always cure cancer or financial difficulties, no matter how strong and fervent you are. It certainly does help you enjoy what you have though, and research shows that it absolutely improves quality of life. This is a feel good, motivating book that I’ll read again and recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley and FaithWords for granting access to a digital ARC in response to my request.

In Speak the Blessing, Joel Osteen has written a new book about speaking out life giving words over our lives and unlocking the power in our mouths. He begins the book by sharing how his church begins every service with a daily declaration filling with everything they are in Christ. It referred to as “I Am”. Joel has seen how the power of your words can change your life. When we send out the words in the direction and way, we want our lives to go, we can witness our lives improving. He explained how if we are wanting to be healthy, we need to declare that we are healed this helps to release the healing in our lives. He shared how scriptures tells us to declare we are strong even if we feel weak. He opened up about his mother had to choose to declare that she was healed. She was diagnosed with liver cancer in 1981 and not given a good medical report and outcome. She would actively read and speak scriptures over her life. She would declare that she would live and not die and forty-three years later she is still alive and was healed.


One of my favorite chapters discussed telling ourselves a new story. Our current story comes from how we choose to see ourselves. It can come from our past and how we were raised our failures. This is limiting ourselves and we are believing what we are telling ourselves. We can make a new decision and write a new story. God has declared that we are a masterpiece, a victor, and an overcomer. He can turn around anything negative that we have faced and cause it to work out for our good. He encouraged readers to take the pen back and rewrite a new story. He used this chapter to share the challenges he encountered when his father passed away and he had to step up and pastor the church. He was transparent in revealing how he thought he couldn’t ever get up and speak to the church and he had fear. He was more typically quiet then his father was. He had to do what he instructed readers to do. He had to tell himself a new story and that God has equipped him and he was anointed to do what he was called to do.




I would this awesome book to anyone who is seeking a book about the power of your mouth. This book can assist you in speaking truth over your life and it can teach you on to send the words in the right direction. One of my favorite stories was about how our story may be limiting and Joel told a story about a bear who was forced to live in a cage and went they tried to resend her into the wild she wouldn’t go. She got out of the cage but the cage wouldn’t get out of her. This is a very insightful story about the story we tell ourselves can cause us to remain stuck in life. I loved how positive this book was and how it taught readers to prophesy their future and to stop cursing your future. The principles in this book can greatly change your life just learn to speak them out!




I received this book free from Faith Words for my honest review.”

Loved this new book by Joel Osteen. I always enjoy his writing - the way he weaves the Bible verses throughout with his stories is just so relatable and easy to get immersed in. I love it! I always find myself wanting to read more of Joel Osteen's works when I finish one of his books. They are truly the BEST way to digest the Word.

What a true blessing this book is ! A great reminder for all no matter where we are in our faith walk. What we speak certainly helps to guide what we will receive. I really recommend this book, and feel that it would make a great small group study for support and accountability.

When I read this, I can hear Joel’s voice and picture his demeanor exactly how he is on TV. Full of positivity, joy, and laughter. Is the content vastly different from his other books… maybe not, but it’s just as inspiring, relevant, and comforting to hear again. I greatly appreciated and enjoyed reading it. It served as a nice reminder and I gained some new insights from it.

On another note, I was chuckling at all of his jokes at his brother Paul’s expense. I hope Paul is being compensated! ; )

THANK YOU NetGalley & FaithWords for sending this book for review consideration.

I loved this book. I was given the opportunity by Faith Words, Hachette Book Group and NetGalley to read an advance copy of this book and I am so thankful. I read this book at a time in my life when I was facing many obstacles. It also happened to be the start of a new year. I found Joel Osteen's words to be extremely inspiring. Things such as: The miracle is in your mouth, and Don't talk about the problem, talk about the promise. These nuggets, along with many others included in the book were a great blessing. I'm so glad I requested this book and took the time to read it. I highly recommend this book to those who need a spiritual pick me up or knows someone who does.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel blessed to have read this. If there is one book you should read this year, it's this one. It will uplift you, bring hope into your heart, remind you of how good God is, and the ways in which you can join hands with God to turn your life around. This is one book that will be by my bedside and in my book bag to carry with me so that I can dip into a remembrance of how to activate the blessings and the promises God has for me (and for you, and everyone of us).

What a true blessing this book is ! A great reminder for all no matter where we are in our faith walk. What we speak certainly helps to guide what we will receive. I really recommend this book, and feel that it would make a great small group study for support and accountability.
