Don't Just Learn From God's Word, But Believe It Will Change Your Life.

Changing Your Life

The Right Timing Is Not Always Our Timing.

There Are Many Things That Happen Every Day That We Could Murmur About If We Let Ourselves Go There. But They Really Aren't Worth The Effort It Takes To Get Upset And Gripe About It.

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 Concentrating On Your Problems And Getting Discouraged, Focus On God And Meditate On His Promises For You. You May Have Fallen Down, But You Don't Have To Stay Down. God Is Ready, Willing And Able To Pick You Up.

God Wants To Use You To Make Other People Happy! And The Happier You Make Others, The Happier You Will Be Because You Reap What You Sow.

People Who Pity Themselves Think, 'why Would I Try To Do Anything? I'll Just Fail.'

I Make Mistakes Every Day. I'm Not Perfect In My Behavior, But I Want To Be And That's What God Is After, A Heart That Wants To Be.

God's Grace Will Never Be Available To You To Become Another Person. He Created To Be You - The Best "you" You Can Be! Forget About Trying To Be Someone Else.

Peter Was The Only One Who Walked On Water Besides Jesus, But He Was Also The Only One Who Got Out Of The Boat. Until You Make A Decision To Believe, And Then Act On It, Nothing Will Happen.

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.

I'm Amazed Sometimes By The Christians Who Don't Really Believe That God Wants To Help Them And Bless Them.

I Had Received Christ As My Savior When I Was A Child, But I Didn't Know Anything. I Didn't Have Any Knowledge. I Didn't Go To Church. And I Had A Lot Of Problems, And I Needed Somebody To Kind Of Help Me Along. And I Think Sometimes Even People Who Want To Serve God, If They Have Got So Many Problems That They Don't Think Right And They Don't Act Right And They Don't Behave Right, They Almost Need Somebody To Take Them By The Hand And Help Lead Them Through The Early Years. And That's Really What Discipleship Is. It's Helping People.

It Is God's Will To Bless Us, But Not Necessarily On Our Terms. Sometimes What We Think Would Be A Wonderful Blessing Would Not Bless Us At All.

Don't Depend On Other People As The Source Of Your Happiness Or For Approval.

The More We Keep Our Mind On Ourselves And Our Wants, The More Unhappy We Become. God Wants Us To Love Others And Meet Their Needs.

God's Unconditional Love Is A Very Difficult Concept For People To Accept Because, In The World, There's Always Payment For Everything We Receive. It's Just How Things Work Here. But God Is Not Like People!

Unconditional Love

I Believe That A Trusting Attitude And A Patient Attitude Go Hand In Hand. You See, When You Let Go And Learn To Trust God, It Releases Joy In Your Life. And When You Trust God, You're Able To Be More Patient. Patience Is Not Just About Waiting For Something... It's About How You Wait, Or Your Attitude While Waiting.

When You Feel Down, Go Be A Blessing To Somebody Else.

Many People In The Western World Are Spoiled By The Conveniences Of Our Culture.

Christianity Is A Lifestyle. And Being A Christian Is More Than A Label.

If You Want To Be Unhappy, Uncomfortable, And Insecure, Just Spend Your Life Trying To Do Something That Is Not Right For You. It Is Just Like Trying To Wear Shoes That Don't Fit.

Jesus Is A Divine Guest Inside Of You All The Time - One Who Loves, Understands, Sees And Hears You. He Wants To Live In Oneness With You... To Be The Centerpiece Of Everything You Do.

Let's Face It: None Of Us Are Ever Going To Get To The Place In Life Where We Have No More Disappointments. We Can't Expect To Be Sheltered From Every Little Thing. Disappointment Is A Fact Of Life--one That Must Be Dealt With.

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

It Is Not As Important How We Start (our Past), But How We Finish.

We All Have Two Lives: An Inner Life And An Outer Life. Your Inner Life Is Your Soul Life, Which Includes Your Mind, Will And Emotions. Your Outer Life Is Your Physical Life. And While God Cares About Every Detail Of Your Life, He Is More Concerned With Your Inner Life Than Your Outer Life.

Grant Me Favor With You And With Men And Continue Transforming Me Into The Image Of Your Dear Son. Thank You Lord.

Give Him Your Mess And Let It Become Your Message.

1 Peter 5 - Be Well Balanced Because Satan 'roams About Like A Hungry Lion Seeking Who He Can Devour.

We Will All Fail In Life, But Nobody Has To Be A Failure. Failing At A Thing Doesn't Make You A Failure. You Are Only A Failure When You Quit Trying.

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!

God Has Blessed Me In Many Ways. Money Is Not The Greatest Blessing You Can Have, But I Literally Had Absolutely Nothing. The First Message That I Preached At Life In The Word, I Had To Borrow A Suit From My Pastor's Wife, Because I Didn't Have Any Decent Clothes, And I Was Driving A 20-year-old Car. We Went Through A Lot Of Years Of Having Nothing, Sleeping In Mcdonald's Parking Lots, Because We Didn't Have Money To Stay All Night In A Hotel. But, Like Anybody Else Who Works Hard And Is Diligent And Doesn't Quit And Doesn't Give Up, There Is A Day The Blessings Come.

If You Are A Believer Married To An Unbeliever I Want To Tell You That The Greatest Witness That You Can Be To Them Is To Try To Be The Same All The Time. Don't Let The Way They Act Control You. Dave Didn't Let My Actions Control Him. He Stayed Happy, And That Just Made Me Madder, Because Unhappy People Just Want To Make Other People Unhappy, But It Finally Broke Through To Me That He's Got A Stability And A Joy And A Peace That I Did Not Have.

Real Christianity Can Be Summed Up In Two Commands: Love God, And Love People.

There's Nothing That You Can't Overcome With God On Your Side.

The Bible Says That Christians Are The Salt Of The Earth And The Light Of The World. On The Job, In The Grocery Store, Even Among Unsaved Friends And Family Members, God's People Are There To Bring Seasoning To An Unsavory Situation.

Wisdom Is Exercised In The Choices You Make.

Choices You Make

When You Pray Be Sure That You Listen As Well As Talk. You Have Things You Want To Say To God But He Also Has Things He Wants To Say To You.

The Best Way To Get Forgiveness Is To Give Forgiveness.

We Will Never Enjoy Life Unless We Make A Quality Decision To Do So.

It's Impossible To Live A Life Totally Free Of Feelings. God Created All Of Us To Be Emotional Creatures, And Feelings Are A Big Part Of Our Lives.

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.

Contentment With Life Is Not A Feeling, But It Is A Decision We Must Make. Contentment Does Not Mean That We Never Want To See Change Or Improvement, But It Does Mean We Can Be Happy Where We Are And Will Do The Best We Can With What We Have. It Also Means We Will Maintain An Attitude That Allows Us To Enjoy The Gift Of Life.

Do You Look Forward To Going To Church, Or Is It Something You Do Out Of Obligation?

Going To Church

I Want To Let You In On A Little Secret: I Don't Always Feel Like I'm A Success. That's Right. There Are Plenty Of Times When I Feel Like I've Just Totally Messed Up And Failed To Connect With The People I'm Trying To Communicate With.

I Always Asked For Forgiveness For My Sins Right Away But I Never Accepted It Until I Felt Right That I Had Suffered Enough To Pay For It. God Revealed To Me What I Was Doing How Much Unnecessary Pain I Was Causing Myself. He Even Showed Me That What I Was Doing Was An Insult To Jesus That In Essence I Was Saying Lord The Sacrifice Of Your Life And Blood Was Good But Not Good Enough. I Must Add My Work Of Feeling Guilty Before I Can Be Forgiven.

Be Hopeful At All Times And Walk In Faith, But Above All Seek Love An Walk In It. God Is Love, And When We Walk In Love We Show Him To Those We Come In Contact With.

God Is Good...jesus Is Lord Be Good To Yourself And Each Other J-jesus..o-others..y-yourself

It Isn't Necessary To Trust God When We Have Full Understanding And Knowledge Of What He Is Doing On Our Behalf... Trust Is Needed In Those Times When, For Whatever Reason, We Are Not Hearing From God As Clearly As We Would Like.

The Simple Power Of Prayer Can Save Us All Kinds Of Time And Trouble If We Will Ask God To Give Us Wisdom And Discernment In Our Relationships.

God Is Not Obligated To Anoint What He Does Not Initiate.

Deadly Emotions, Buried Alive, Never Die.

God Gives Us Hopes And Dreams For Certain Things To Happen In Our Lives, But He Doesn't Always Allow Us To See The Exact Timing Of His Plan.

My Father Was A Negative Person. He Actually Taught Me To Be Negative, If That Makes Any Sense. I Remember Him Saying: 'you Know There's No Point In Expecting Anything Good To Happen Because It Won't.' I Grew Up In Such A Negative Atmosphere.

Each Time We Act To Improve The Life Of Another Person, We Send Forth A Ripple Of Hope In What Appears To Be A Hopeless Society.

People Are Born To Be Free; It's A Gift From God.

Traditions Are A Common Part Of Our Lives. They Can Be Good, And Not All Traditions Are Wrong, But Sometimes They Can Take The Joy Out Of Life.

Many People Feel So Pressured By The Expectations Of Others That It Causes Them To Be Frustrated, Miserable And Confused About What They Should Do. But There Is A Way To Live A Simple, Joy-filled, Peaceful Life, And The Key Is Learning How To Be Led By The Holy Spirit, Not The Traditions Or Expectations Of Man.

Good Intentions Never Change Anything. They Only Become A Deeper And Deeper Rut.

Good Intentions

If I'm A Blessing To You, Then Either God Will Put It On Your Heart To Bless Me, Or He'll Use Somebody Else To Bless Me. If I'm Friendly With You, Then I'll Have Friends. If I'm Merciful With People, The Bible Says I'll Get Mercy Back. If I'm Not Judgmental, Then People Won't Be Judgmental With Me. And It Works Also With Finances. If You Give To Help Other Hurting People And You Give To The Preaching Of The Gospel, Because You Love God, Then God Takes Care Of You.

We Need A Backbone, Not A Wishbone.

I Think That One Of The Things That Christianity Really Needs, And The Church Really Needs, Is Credibility. People Need To Be Able To Trust Us And They Need To Believe We Really Want To Help Them And That It's Not Just, I'm-doing-this-for-me Type Thing.

It Is Impossible To Be Both Selfish And Happy.

If We Spend Enough Time With God, He'll Either Make Us Strong Enough That Problems Won't Bother Us, Or He'll Show Us What To Do About Them.

[the Notion Of Separating Church And State With Such Policies As Disallowing Prayer In Public Schools] Is A Deception From Satan.

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

The Israelites' Slavery In Egypt Is The Equivalent Of Our Slavery To Sin. God Sent Moses To Deliver Them From Bondage, And He Sent Jesus Christ To Set Us Free.

Extremely Religious, Legalistic People Have A Criticism Or Judgment About Everyone And Everything. They Just Have A Way Of Bringing People Down With What They Say.

A Positive Attitude Gives You Power Over Your Circumstances Instead Of Your Circumstances Having Power Over You.

If We Know God Is For Us, Then It Shouldn't Matter How We Feel, Or What Other People Think Of Us.

We Want Our Marriage To Be A Triumph, Not A Tragedy.

Spiritual People Don't Float Around All Day On Clouds Of Glory; They Live In The Real World And Deal With Real Issues In Real Ways.

If You Want A Testimony, You Are Going To Have A Test.

What We Need To Understand Is That When Traditions Become Laws, Rules, Obligations And Expectations Others Put On Us That We Don't Want To Fulfill, Then They Lose Real Meaning And Steal The Joy From Our Lives. And If We're Too Religious, We Won't Be Able To Be Led By The Holy Spirit And Enjoy An Intimate Relationship With Him.

Everything God Tells Us To Do Is For Our Good. Whether It's Direction You Get In His Word Or Something He's Specifically Put In Your Heart For Your Situation In Life, The Absolute Best Thing You Can Ever Do Is Obey Him Promptly And Completely.

Situations In Life

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.

Until We Accept And Approve Of Ourselves, No Amount Of Approval From Others Will Keep Us Permanently Secure.

Seek His Face And Not His Hand.

The Bible Tells Us To Be Perfect. This Is Likely A Scary Thought For Many People. It Used To Scare Me. I Didn't Think I Could Ever Get There, No Matter How Hard I Tried.

God Is Speaking To Us. But Are We Listening To Him? When Our Conscience Begins To Nudge Us For Whatever Reason, We Might Have This Low-level Misery Or Uneasiness About Whatever It Is We've Done Or We're About To Do. At Times Like This, It's Wise To Prayerfully Consider Whether We're Offending God With Our Actions.

Patience Is A Fruit Of The Spirit That Grows Only Under Trial. It Is Useless To Pray For Patience. Well, Actually I Encourage You To Pray For Patience, But I'll Tell You What You'll Get Trials!

God Has Gifted Me In Communication. He Has Given Me A Gift To Be Very Open About Myself, Which Seems To Really Help A Lot Of People. It's Not Even Anything I Do On Purpose. It's Just Something I Don't Have A Problem With. I Don't Care What You Know About Me If It Will Help You.

Focus On Giving Smiles Away And You Will Always Discover That Your Own Smiles Will Always Be In Great Supply!

Pride Is An Independent, Me-oriented Spirit. It Makes People Arrogant, Rude And Hard To Get Along With. When Our Heart Is Prideful, We Don't Give God The Credit And We Mistreat People, Looking Down On Them And Thinking We Deserve What We Have.

Patience Is A Fruit That Only Grows Under Trials.

Is There Any Real Purpose In Being Alive If All We Are Going To Do Is Get Up Every Day And Live Only For Ourselves? Live Your Life To Help Others. Give & Live Selflessly.

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.

Our Past May Explain Why We're Suffering But We Must Not Use It As An Excuse To Stay In Bondage.

Prayer Doesn't Just Change Things - It Changes Us. If We Are Diligent In Seeking God, Slowly And Surely We Become Better People.

We May Not Know What To Do, But It Is Sufficient To Know The One Who Knows. We All Like Specific Direction; However, When We Don't Have It, Knowing God Is Faithful And Ever True To His Promise, And That He Has Promised To Be With Us Always, Is Comforting And Keeps Us Stable Until His Time Is Right To Speak To Us More Specifically.

Forgiveness Is A Choice, Not A Feeling.

Having Everything Your Way Is Highly Overrated.

If You Are Facing A Difficult Task Don’t Put It Off. If You Do It Will Just Keep Tormenting You.

Difficult Tasks

The Term Revolution Means: A Sudden, Radical, And Complete Change From The Way Things Are Normally Done. I Love That Definition Because I Really Feel That In Order For Us To Start Walking In The Kind Of Love That Christ Commanded Us To - The "love Your Neighbor As Yourself" Kind - It's Going To Take A Radical Change In Our Current Behavior. The Church Has Become Passive And Selfish And It's Going To Take A Revolution To Get Us Back To The Place Where We Are Not Just Talking The Talk, But Walking In A Love That Shows The World Christ's Love.

I Was Mentally, Emotionally And Verbally Abused By My Father As Far Back As I Can Remember Until I Left Home At The Age Of Eighteen

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?

Battles Are Fought In Our Minds Every Day. When We Begin To Feel The Battle Is Just Too Difficult And Want To Give Up, We Must Choose To Resist Negative Thoughts And Be Determined To Rise Above Our Problems. We Must Decide That We're Not Going To Quit. When We're Bombarded With Doubts And Fears, We Must Take A Stand And Say: "i'll Never Give Up! God's On My Side. He Loves Me, And He's Helping Me! I'm Going To Make It!"

If We Do Our Best, God Will Do The Rest.
