I Try To Live What I Teach. A Lot Of Things Come Against Us In Life, But We Should Try To Find Something To Be Grateful For, And See Each Day As A Gift.

Ask Him To Show You More About This Gift Of Forgiveness So That You Can Walk In The Freedom And Victory He Has For You Today.

If You’re Not Seeing God Move In Your Life Right Now, One Of Two Possibilities Must Be Considered.

If God Were To Answer That Prayer The Way You Are Hoping, It Could Interfere With His Ideal Plan For You.

The Ultimate Connection Is When You Are Connected To The Creator Of The Universe.

When You Believe, It Activates God's Power.

My Core Message Is That God Has Got A Good Plan For Your Lives, And We Must Trust Him, And Let Go Of The Past. That's My Main Message.

Faith Is About Trusting God When You Have Unanswered Questions.

Unanswered Questions

God Will Give You Strength When You Think You Can’t Go On. He Will Give You Joy When You Should Be Discouraged. He Can Make A Way When It Looks Impossible.

The Truth Is We All Get Tired, We All Get Weary. In Fact, If You Never Feel Like Giving Up, Then Your Dreams Are Too Small. If You Never Feel Like Quitting, Then You Need To Set Some Larger Goals. When That Pressure Comes To Get Discouraged And To Think About How You Can’t Take It Anymore, That Is Completely Normal. Every Person Feels That Way At Times.

Most People Already Know What They're Doing Wrong. When I Get Them To Church I Want To Tell Them That You Can Change.

The Bigger Your Obstacle, The Bigger Your Future. Don't Get Discouraged, Keep Moving Forward.

Well I Think A Lot Of Times We're Putting Things Off And I'm Going To Do It Later. I'm Going To Break This Bad Habit Or I'm Going To Pursue This Dream Or I'm Going To Treat My Spouse Better.

Putting Things Off

No Matter What You’ve Been Through, No Matter What Others Might Have Thought About You...you Are Who God Says You Are. You Are Talented, You Are A Success, And You Are An Overcomer!

You're Never Going To Please Everyone - You Might As Well Be Who God Made You To Be.

The Older I Get, The Better I Understand That Every Day Is A Gift. There's No Guarantee Of Tomorrow. And Part Of My Whole Philosophy Is: This Day Is Too Important To Live It Angry, Upset, Discouraged Or Stressed Out If Plans Don't Work Out. This Is Life, And I'm Going To Move On.

Don't Ever Say Anything Negative About Yourself.

You Need To Follow Your Own Heart In Light Of God’s Word And Do What You Feel Is Right And Good For You.

Love Overlooks A Person’s Faults. That’s Not Always Easy, But Love Believes The Best In Every Person. Anybody Can Return Evil For Evil, But God Wants His People To Help Heal Wounded Hearts.

Self Empowerment

When You Go Through Difficult Times, Make Sure You Pass The Test. Don’t Be Stubborn And Hardheaded. Recognize That God Is Refining You, Knocking Off Some Of Your Rough Edges. Stand Strong And Fight The Good Fight Of Faith. God Has Called Each Of Us To Be Champions; You Are Destined To Win. If You Will Work With God And Keep A Good Attitude, Then No Matter What Comes Against You, The Bible Says That All Things – Not Just The Good Things In Life, But All Things – Work Together For Your Good.

Bottom Line: God Will Not Allow Any Person To Keep You From Your Destiny. They May Be Bigger, Stronger, Or More Powerful, But God Knows How To Shift Things Around And Get You To Where You're Supposed To Be.

When You Get Up And Say, "god, I Want To Thank You For Being Alive, I've Got Family, I've Got My Health," You're Going To Draw In More Of The Good Things From God.

The Great News Is That God Knows Everything About You, Both Good And Bad, And He Still Loves You And Values You Unconditionally. God Does Not Always Approve Of Our Behavior. He Is Not Pleased When We Go Against His Will, And When We Do, We Always Suffer The Consequences And Have To Work With Him To Correct Our Thoughts, Words, Actions, Or Attitudes. And While You Should Work To Improve In The Areas Where You Fall Short, Nothing You Do Will Ever Cause God To Love You Less…or More. His Love Is A Constant You Can Depend On.

Quit Dwelling On The Negative Things People Have Said About You. You Don’t Have To Have Everyone’s Approval. You Have God’s Approval.

You Cannot Expect Victory And Plan For Defeat.

Today Could Be The Start Of Something Amazing.

Our Goal Should Be That We're Going To Live Life To The Fullest, Pursuing Our Passions And Dreams, And When It Comes Our Time To Go, We Will Have Used As Much Of Our Potential As Possible.

When Christmas Doesn't Fit Your Expectations Of What The Perfect Holiday Should Be, Think About How Joseph And Mary Probably Didn't Think That Manger Was The Perfect Place For Their Child To Be Born. But Look At What A Perfect Christmas That Turned Out To Be.

Many People Are Unhappy And Are Not Experiencing Life To Its Fullest Because They’ve Closed Their Hearts To Compassion, They Are Motivated By Only What They Want And What They Think They Need. They Rarely Do Anything For Anybody Else Unless They Have An Ulterior Goal In Mind. They Are Self-involved And Self-centered.

Again I Think My Gift Is Bringing Hope To Everybody, And I Don't Want Someone To Look At Me And Say, "i Would Listen To Him, I Like What He's Saying, But He's This Or That Politically And That Turns Me Off."

The More You Talk About Negative Things In Your Life, The More You Call Them In. Speak Victory Not Defeat.

I Deal With More Practical Issues Of The Bible.

We Deal With People That Are Going Through Divorces And That Are Facing Life-threatening Illnesses, And I'm Giving Them Hope. And To Me, I Don't Think There's Anything "lite" About That.

You Can’t Talk Mediocrity And Expect To Have Victory. You Are Prophesying Your Future. If You Want A Shift To Occur, You’ve Got To Think Positive.

God Wants Us To Live Consistently, He Wants Us To Enjoy Every Single Day Of Our Lives.

You May Never Get To That Perfect World That You're Waiting For Where Everything's Going To Be Perfect And You Got That Much Money And Your House Paid Off.

We Live In A Society That Likes To Kick People When They’re Down. Don’t Be A Fair-weather Friend. Stick With People. They Need You More In The Tough Times Than They Do In The Good Times.

I Think Faith Is Incredible Important Because You Will Become Overwhelmed With What's Happening And You Will Have Waves Of Grief, But When You Turn To Your Faith, I Believe God Will Give You Waves Of Grace To Get Through It.

Buying A Share Of A Good Business Is Better Than Buying A Share Of A Bad Business. One Way To Do This Is To Purchase A Business That Can Invest Its Own Money At High Rates Of Return Rather Than Purchasing A Business That Can Only Invest At Lower Ones. In Other Words, Businesses That Earn A High Return On Capital Are Better Than Businesses That Earn A Low Return On Capital.

You Can Be Happy Where You Are.

Program Your Mind With What God Says About You And A Transformation Will Take Place.

The Moment God Put A Dream In Your Heart, The Moment The Promise Took Root, God Not Only Started It, But He Set A Completion Date.

That's It. I'm Going To Start Making The Right Choices.

If You Know You Have To Wait Anyway, Why Not Make A Decision To Enjoy Your Life While You’re Waiting? Why Not Be Happy While God Is In The Process Of Changing Things? After All, There’s Nothing We Can Really Do To Make It Happen Any Faster. We Might As Well Relax And Enjoy Our Lives, Knowing That At The Appointed Time God Is Going To Bring His Plan To Pass.

When You Center Life Around Yourself, Not Only Do You Miss Out On God's Best, But You Rob Other People Of The Joy And Blessings That God Wants To Give Them Through You.

We Live In A Day That Nobody's Lived In Before: Where You Can Touch More People. The Message I'll Speak Tonight And The Message That I Speak At Home, People In India Will Hear. It's Just An Amazing Day.

Happiness Does Not Depend On Your Circumstances; It Depends On Your Will. It's A Choice That You Make.

When You Reach Out To Hurting People, That’s When God Is Going To Make Sure Your Needs Are Supplied. When You Focus On Being A Blessing, God Makes Sure That You Are Always Blessed In Abundance.

Your Time Is Too Valuable, Your Destiny Is Too Great, And Your Future Is Too Bright To Waste A Single Moment. Be A Now Person.

What Others Say And Do Cannot Stop You From Fulfilling Your Destiny. Your Destiny Was Handed Down By Almighty God.

If Your Thinking Is Limited, Your Life Will Be Limited.

What You Expect Is What You Will Get.

You Don't Need Everyone To Help You. You Just Need One Touch Of Favor, And You Will Accomplish In A Split Second What Could Have Taken Your Whole Lifetime.

There's Probably A Balance Between. I Believe You Have To Know Christ. But I Think That If You Know Christ, If You're A Believer In God, You're Going To Have Some Good Works.

Quit Worrying About How Everything Is Going To Turn Out. Live One Day At A Time; Better Yet, Make The Most Of This Moment. It’s Good To Have A Big – Picture Outlook, To Set Goals, To Establish Budgets And Make Plans, But If You’re Always Living In The Future, You’re Never Really Enjoying The Present In The Way God Wants You To.

We Minister The Word Of God. The Proclamation Of The Gospel Comes After Individuals Have Opened Their Hearts To God And Turned From Themselves To Others. Only Then Are They Truly Ready To Hear And Benefit Fully From The Word Of The Lord.

You Won't Be Free From Guilt If You Are Constantly Replaying The Negative Memories Of Your Past. If You're Going To Replay Anything, Replay Your Victories!

I Just Think That Trusting God Means We're Going To Have Unanswered Questions, And God Is So Much Bigger Than Us, We're Never Going To Understand Them All.

Unanswered Questions

Sometimes What Works 40 Years Ago Doesn't Work Today.

When You Get Knocked Down, Don't Stay Down; Get Back Up Again. Nothing Good Is Going To Happen As Long As You're Down On Yourself.

Getting Back Up

It's Not Who You Are, But Whose You Are That Counts. Because God Is Your Heavenly Father, Doors Of Opportunity Will Open For You.
