Acts 10:38 Says, “see How God Anointed Jesus Of Nazareth Who Went About Doing Good.” He Just Got Up Every Day And Did Good. Everywhere He Went, Even Though He Had A Purpose And He Was Headed Somewhere, He Let Himself Be Interrupted By The Needs Of People. So Often We Study The Steps Of Jesus. Maybe We Need To Study The Stops Of Jesus. The Things That He Stopped For, The Things That Interrupted His Plan, Where He Would Alter His Plan And Help Somebody Here And There.

Jesus Said When The Woman Poured The Alabaster Bottle Of Perfume On Him That Was Worth Almost A Year's Wages, And Judas, Who Was Very Money-minded, Said You Shouldn't Have Done That, Because You're Wasting That, We Could Have Sold That And Given It To The Poor. And Jesus Himself Said, You Will Always Have The Poor With You, But She Has Done This As An Honor To Me, And She Will Be Honored For It All Of Her Days. And So You Never Run Out Of Poor People. You Could Give Everything You Had, I Could Give Everything I Had, And The World Would Still Be Full Of Poor People.

Everywhere You Look You See People Searching For Love But They're Looking In The Wrong Places. God Is Love, And They Will Never Find What They're Looking For Until They Find Him.

Now Whether You Like It Or Not, Whether You Want To Admit It Or Not, Whether You Want To Operate On It Or Not, You Are Made The Righteousness Of God In Jesus Christ. Most People Who Go To Denominational Churches Never Ever Hear That! They Never Hear It! Never! All I Was Ever Taught To Say Was, 'i'm A Poor, Miserable Sinner.' I Am Not Poor, I Am Not Miserable And I Am Not A Sinner. That Is A Lie From The Pit Of Hell. That Is What I Was And If I Still Am Then Jesus Died In Vain. Amen?

As Believers, Our Joy And Peace Are Not Based In Doing And Achieving, But In Believing. Joy And Peace Come As A Result Of Building Our Relationship With The Lord.

God Has Done So Much In My Life, And My Desire Is To Help Others Who Are Hurting To Receive His Love And Get The Healing They Need - Mentally, Emotionally And Spiritually. I Know The Word Works And Total Restoration Is Possible In Christ Because I've Experienced It Myself.

God Is The Champion At Bringing People From A Place Of Destruction To A Place Of Total Victory. As They Reach That Place Of Victory They Become Trophies Of His Grace. And They Are Set On The Display As A Fragrant Reminder Of God's Goodness.

You Can Become So Manipulated And Controlled By What You Think Other People Expect You To Do That You Literally Live Under The Tyranny Of Other People's Expectations. And What I Call The Shoulds And The Oughts.

You Never Know How Close You Are To A Breakthrough. It May Be Right Around The Corner. Don't Quit!

Grace Is The Power Of The Holy Spirit Coming To Us Free Of Charge To Enable You To Do With Ease What You Could Never Do On Your Own With Any Amount Of Struggle And Effort.

It's So Easy To Settle For Less Than God's Best For Us Because We Don't Always Feel Like Taking Responsibility For Our Behavior Or Putting Forth Some Effort To Do What We Need To Do So We Can Accomplish Great Things For God And Help People. But The Cost Of Settling For Less Is Actually Harder Than Being Completely Obedient To God's Will.

Don’t Feel Like You Have To Take Every Suggestion People Give You. Not Every Good Idea Is A God Idea.

We Can Never Make Ourselves Better By Trying... Praying More Or Longer, Studying More Of The Word, Performing Good Works, Etc. Don't Get Me Wrong... It's Not Bad To Do Any Of These Things. In Fact, It's Good. It's Just That Doing Them In God's Power Is The Only Way Those Things Will Have Any Real And Lasting Effect In Our Lives.

Instead Of Blaming Everyone And Everything Else For Your Problems, Pray For God To Help You Take An Inventory Of What's Been On Your Mind So You Can Think About What You've Been Thinking About.

Personally I Am Always Looking For God To Show Me Where He Would Like Me To Give Or Make A Difference In Someone Else’s Life. I Wake Up Every Day And Ask God How He Would Like Me To Be A Blessing To Someone That Day.

I Tell People, And It's The Truth, I Could Sit In My Garage For A Week And It Won't Make Me A Car. And You Can Sit In Church Till Your Bottom Is Flat And That Won't Make You A Servant Of Christ.

God Is Not There Just For Emergencies.

God Is Good, And He Cannot Be Anything Else.

So Often, We Blame Other People When, Really, The Problem Is Right Down In Here. I'm Not Happy. I Don't Know What's Wrong. If I Just Had Another Job, I Could Be Happy. If I Just Get Married, I Would Be Happy. Well If I Just Wasn't Married, I Would Be Happy. Well, If I Just Had Some Kids, I'll Be Happy. I'll Be Happy When These Kids Finally Grow Up And Get Out Of Here. If I Had A Bigger House, I Would Be Happy. Well, I Got A Big House. Now If I Just Had A Maid To Clean, I'd Be Happy. Well, Now If I Just Had A Maid I Could Get Along With Better, I'd Be Happy.

If You're In A Workplace You Don't Like Right Now, Be Encouraged Because God Will Use It For Your Good. Think About It This Way: He Wants You To Be A Light In The Darkness - And He's Putting His Confidence In You!

We Can't Control What Other People Do And How They Treat Us, But We Can Control Our Response To Them.

It Is Better To Dream Big And Get Half Of It, Then Dream Small And Get All Of It.

Satan Frequently Steals The Will Of God From Us Due To Reasoning. The Lord May Direct Us To Do A Certain Thing, But If It Does Not Make Sense - If It Is Not Logical - We May Be Tempted To Disregard It. What God Leads A Person To Do Does Not Always Make Logical Sense To His Mind. His Spirit May Affirm It And His Mind Reject It, Especially If It Would Be Out Of The Ordinary Or Unpleasant Or If It Would Require Personal Sacrifice Or Discomfort.

Everyone Wants To Be An Overcomer, But Nobody Wants Anything To Overcome.

If We're Really Honest With Ourselves, Most Of Us Will Admit That We Want To Impress People, And This Is What's Causing Us To Do What We Do.

If You Want To Be Free, Just Start Doing What God Wants You To Do, One Step At A Time, And You'll Eventually Walk Out Of Your Messes.

One Step At A Time

A Lot Of Times, People Make Other People Responsible For Their Joy: 'you're Not Making Me Happy, You're Not Doing This, You're Not Doing That.'

I Encourage You To Deliberately Look For Something To Smile Or Laugh About Every Day, And Be Sure To Share A Smile Or A Laugh With Someone Else And Brighten Their Day Too!

Every Person Who Confesses That Christ Jesus Is Lord, Repents Of Their Sin And Gives Their Heart To God Is A Child Of God And Belongs To Him. And In Christ, We Are Made Right With God, We Are His Righteousness, And We Have The Power Of Christ In Us To Live Right.

I'm Jealous. I'm Mad. I Feel Bad. But One Day, I Woke Up And I Thought, You Know What? This Is Wearing Me Out. And I'm Not Getting Anywhere. So, I Decided That Even Though I Did Not Have A Good Beginning, I Made A Decision That I Was Going To Let Go Of What Lies Behind And I Was Going To Have A Great Finish.

You Know, God Will Give Favor To Anyone Who Will Believe Him. Every Day You Should Confess That You Have Favor Everywhere You Go. God Will Begin To Open Doors That You Wouldn't Believe.

Our Joy Does Not Have To Be Based On Our Circumstances.

You Have The Power To Make The World A Better Place By Being Kind To Someone Today

Sometimes When You've Had A Long Series Of Disappointing Things Happen, You Can Get Into The Very Bad Habit Of Just Expecting More Of What You've Already Had.

I Just Really Believe People Have To Get Hungry. I Think Maybe What We Need To Do, Instead Of Trying To Stuff Our Beliefs Down People's Throats, Is Just Pray For Them To Really Be Hungry And To See Their Neediness.

If You Want To Live In The Fullness Of God's Anointing, Fill Your Mouth With His Word.

Don't Mourn Over Your Bad Decisions. Just Start Overcoming Them With Good Ones.

When We Pray, We Open The Door For God To Come Into Our Problems And Situations And Work On Them.

Our Faith Is Released As We Say, Pray And Do The Word.

Be It Unto You, Even As You Believe. In God's Economy, We Believe First And Then See.

Stop Determining Your Worth And Value By What Other People Say. Be Determined By What The Word Of God (scriptures)says.

Don't Try To Change People. It Won't Work, And They Will End Up Resenting You. Only God Can Change People!

If Someone Decides They're Not Going To Be Happy, It's Not Your Problem. You Don't Have To Spend Your Time And Energy Trying To Cheer Up Someone Who Has Already Decided To Stay In A Bad Mood. Believe It Or Not, You Can Actually Hurt People By Playing Into Their Self-pity.

Five Minutes Of Communication Can Save A Year's Worth Of Turmoil And Misunderstanding.

The Bible Has The Answers To Our Everyday Life. Many Times People Don't Realize How Practical It Is.

My Purpose In Life Is To Do Right And To Glorify God.

Purpose Of Life

We Open The Door For God To Work By Placing Faith In His Word, And We Open The Door For Satan To Work By Placing Faith In His Word. He Places Thought In Our Minds That Are Not True, But Can Become True For Us If They Are Believed.

God Is Able To Do Anything. All Things Are Possible With Him, But We Must Not Quit Praying.

I Teach And Believe That God Wants His People To Be Blessed. If We Give And We Are A Blessing To Other People, That God Promises In His Word That He Will Take Care Of Us. Actually, Says He'll Open The Windows Of Heaven And Pour Out A Blessing So Great That We Can't Contain It.

The Word Of God Is Active, Energizing, Sharp And Powerful Like A Two-edged Sword.

God Doesn't Love Me Any More Or Less Because I Had Some Work Done On My Face. You Know, I Prayed About It A Long, Long, Long, Long, Long Time, Because There Again, I Wouldn't Want To Do Anything That I Felt Was Going To Be Offensive To God.

Our Enemy, The Devil, Wants To Control Us, And His Target Is Our Will. The Main Way He Tries To Influence Our Will Is Through Lying To Us.

My Teachings Are My Life.

Frustration, Complication And Misery Are Available In Abundance, But So Is God's Grace.

We Almost Always See Only What's Wrong With Other People And Not What's Wrong With Us.

Because My Dad Abused Me, I Was Determined To Never Let A Man Tell Me What To Do. God Clearly Showed Me That I Needed To Be A Submissive Wife If I Wanted To Be Effective In Ministry. The Truth Is, If We Don't Learn To Submit To Authority, We Won't Ever Learn To Submit To God.

There Is Something You Can Do That No One Else Can Do Just Like You So Love Your Life!

God Doesn’t Want Us To Live Timid, Shy, Weak, Wimpy, Fearful, Boring Lives. He Wants Us To Be Bold, Con Dent And Courageous, Unafraid To Try New Things. And It Never Ceases To Amaze Me What God Will Do Through A Person Who Simply Steps Out In Faith.

There Are People In The World Who Aren't Necessarily Christians, But They're Just Naturally Nice People Who Do A Lot For Other People. Those People Will Almost Always Be Prosperous People.

My Father Was A Mean, Controlling And Manipulative Person For Most Of His Life. He Was Unpredictable And Unstable. As A Result, The Atmosphere Of Our Home Was Super-charged With Fear Because You Never Knew If What You Did Would Make Him Mad Or Not.

I Don't Want To Spend My Whole Life Talking About The Promised Land Without Ever Getting There. I Want To Live In It.

Perhaps We Could Enjoy Ordinary, Everyday Life More If We Learned To Celebrate The Ordinary.

As You Pray For The Holy Spirit To Make You Aware Of Thoughts That Come Into Your Mind That Don't Line Up With God's Word, You'll Begin To Realize When Those Thoughts Come And You Can Renew Your Mind With The Word.

We Often Think More Highly Of Ourselves Than We Ought To, And It's Easy To Judge Others And Be Critical Of Their Weaknesses And Shortcomings. But This Self-righteous Attitude Is A Sin That We Can Be Blinded To Because We're So Focused On What The Other Person Did Wrong. The Reality Is This Attitude Is Worse Than The Wrong Behavior We're Judging.

A Demonstration Of Sincere Concern Can Be A Strong Building Block Of Love.

If We Didn't Have To Stand Against Temptation, We'd Never Know Our Own Spiritual Strength.

Life Is Sometimes Very Complicated, But We Can Purposely Learn To Enjoy The Simple Yet Powerful And Beautiful Things God Has Created!

When You're Hurt Very Badly In Your Childhood, The Area That It Has The Greatest Effect On Is Relationships. Once You Feel Like You Can't Trust People, Once You Feel Like That They Don't Care About You, That They're Really Not Going To Take Care Of You, It Gets Very Difficult In Relationships.

Many Times In Our Lives, We Are Dropped, Crumpled, And Ground Into Dirt By The Decisions We Make And The Circumstances That Come Our Way. We Feel As Though We Are Worthless. But No Matter What Has Happened Or What Will Happen, We Will Never Lose Our Value In God’s Eyes.

You Have So Many Capabilities & Potential. Start Celebrating The Life God Has Given You!

Don't Reason In The Mind Just Obey In The Spirit.

If Someone You Know Makes A Bad Decision Or Uses Bad Judgment, It Doesn't Mean You Have To Allow That To Alter Your Attitude. Why Should You Allow Anyone Else's Bad Decisions To Send You Into A Tailspin Of Misery?

When We Are Overly Concerned With What People Think We Will Be Controlled By The Thoughts And Opinions Of Other People.
