More From Joel Osteen

The Love Of Life Is The Root Of All Good.

You'll Never Rise Any Higher Than The Way You See Yourself.

I Think A Big Test We All Face In Life On A Regular Basis Is That Discouragement Test. Life's Not Always Fair, But I Believe If You Keep Doing The Right Thing, God Will Get You To Where You Are.

God Wants You To Be A Winner, Not A Whiner.

You May Not Be Where You Want To Be, But You Can Look Back And Be Thankful You're Not Where You Used To Be.

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

If You Don't Set The Tone For The Day, The Devil Will Set It For You.

I Preach That Anybody Can Improve Their Lives. I Think God Wants Us To Be Prosperous. I Think He Wants Us To Be Happy. To Me, You Need To Have Money To Pay Your Bills. I Think God Wants Us To Send Our Kids To College. I Think He Wants Us To Be A Blessing To Other People. But I Don't Think I'd Say God Wants Us To Be Rich. It's All Relative, Isn't It?

I Think It's A Cop-out To Say I'm A Christian But I Don't Ever Do Anything...

Prospering Just Doesn't Have To Do With Money.

So Many People Say, "i Just Don't Have A Good Job, Or My Marriage Is Not Where It's Supposed To Be." Really It's Excuse After Excuse To Not Be Happy. To Me It's A Waste. I'm Going To Look At What's Right And Not What's Wrong In My Life. I'm Alive, I'm Healthy, And You Know, A Good Thing To Remember Is Somebody's Got It A Lot Worse Than We Do.

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.

To Live Your Best Life Now, You Must Learn To Trust God’s Timing, You May Not Think He’s Working, But You Can Be Sure That Right Now, Behind The Scenes, God Is Arranging All The Pieces To Come Together To Work Out His Plan For Your Life.

Never Put A Question Mark Where God Has Put A Period. When Something Is Over And Done, Let It Go And Move On To The Next Chapter Of Your Life.

Certainly There Are Times In All Of Our Lives When Bad Things Happen, Or Things Don’t Turn Out As We Had Hoped. But That’s When We We Must A Decision That We’re Going To Be Happy Inspite Of Our Circumstances.

When Bad Things Happen

If Your Dream Dies, Dream Another One. If Things Don't Work Out The Way You've Planned, God Has A Better Plan For You.

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

We Can Be Civil. We Can Still Be Friends, And Be Democrats And Republicans, And Have Different Views.

I'm Honest Enough To Say I Don't Know Everything. You Know, I Don't. I Don't Understand All Of God. I Don't Understand, You Know, Some Kind Of Why Bad Things Happen.

When You Stir Up The Passion, Your Faith Will Allow God To Do Amazing Things. If You Want To Remain Passionate, You Cannot Let What Once Was A Miracle Become Ordinary.

Some Things You Can Only Learn In The Struggle. When It's Easy, When Everything Is Going Your Way, That Doesn't Take Any Faith.

Life Is Too Short To Live That Way. Learn To Travel Light. Every Morning When You First Get Up, Forgive The People That Did You Wrong The Day Before. Forgive Your Spouse For What They Said. At The Start Of The Day, Let Go Of The Disappointments, The Set Backs From Yesterday. Start Every Morning Fresh And New. God Did Not Create You To Carry Around All That Baggage. Let It Go And Move Forward In The Life Of Blessing He Has In Store For You!

I Have Always Believed. I Grew Up, You Know, My Parents Were A Good Christian People. They Showed Us Love In The Home.

Your Situation May Look Impossible, But Don't Ever Rule Out The Favor Of God.

He Is Still In Control. He Still Has You In The Palm Of His Hand.

It's God's Will For You To Live In Prosperity Instead Of Poverty. It's God's Will For You To Pay Your Bills And Not Be In Debt.

I've Never Preached One Sermon On Money, On Just Finances. I Want To Stay Away From It.

I Have Always Believed In God.

No Matter How Dark And Gloomy It Looks In Your Life Right Now, If You'll Release The Weight Of Those Burdens, You Will See The Sun Break Forth.

No Matter How Many Times You Get Knocked Down, Keep Getting Back Up. God Sees Your Resolve. He Sees Your Determination. And When You Do Everything You Can Do, That’s When God Will Step In And Do What You Can’t Do.

Getting Back Up

Don't Spend All Your Time Trying To Win Over Your Critics. Just Run Your Own Race.

It's Our Faith That Activates The Power Of God.

The Bible Talks About How God Uses Difficult Situations To Develop Our Character And Get Us Stronger. The Death Of My Father Is Probably The Biggest Thing That I Ever Faced. Daddy And I Were Best Friends. But Out Of That Darkness, Out Of That Disappointment In My Life, That's What God Used To Push Me Into Another Level Of Victory Or Another Level Of Ministry That I Never Knew I Had.

I Think Bible Principles Are Principles For Life.

You Cannot Wait Until Everything Becomes Better Before You Decide To Have A Good Attitude. You Have To Be The Best You Can Be Right Where You Are.

I Believe God's Keeping The Records, And I Believe You Will Be Rewarded Even In This Life. Somehow, Some Way, God Will Make It Up To You. It May Be He Protected You From An Accident You Never Knew. You Can't Give God Something Without God Giving You More In Return, Whether It's Peace Or Joy Or Satisfaction.

You're Going To Go Through Tough Times - That's Life. But I Say, 'nothing Happens To You, It Happens For You.' See The Positive In Negative Events.

There May Be Times When You Just Have To Love People From A Distance.

You Don't Have To Fight Every Battle. You Don't Have To Respond To Every Critic. You Don't Have To Be Offended Because Of What Others Say. You Can Rise Above These Things And Soar.

Life Is Going By. Don't Waste A Minute Being Negative, Offended, Or Bitter. Choose To Be Happy.

When You're Blessed, The Haters Come Out. When You Wear God's Blessings Well, Don't Be Surprised If It Draws Jealousy Out On People.

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.

Life's A Fight. It's A Good Fight Of Faith.

Fight The Good Fight

Quit Worrying About How Everything Is Going To Turn Out. Live One Day At A Time; Better Yet, Make The Most Of This Moment.

Listen Carefully To The Words And Tone Of Voice You Use With Your Spouse. Are You Complaining All The Time And Telling Her What She's Not Doing Right? Or Are You Doing Like Solomon-blessing, Encouraging, And Uplifting That Woman?

Our Words Set The Direction For Our Lives.

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.

I Say, Don't Try To Fight Your Own Battles Because God Will Do It.

I Write All My Sermons.

Start Announcing Freedom From Anything That’s Holding You Back. Freedom From Addictions, Freedom From Loneliness, Freedom From Lack, Freedom From Struggle. You Are Prophesying Your Future. Your Words Are Setting The Direction For Your Life.

Selfishness Is Weakness. But Loving And Caring For Others Is A Position Of Power Beyond Anything We Can Possibly Imagine.

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

It's In The Difficult Times That We're Growing And You Can't Just Rebuke Everything Hard. We've Got To Endure It And Fight The Good Fight Of Faith And Pass The Test.

You Need To Get Ready Because I Have Explosive Blessings Coming Your Way.

Salvation And Christ's Love Is A Gift. You Don't Earn It. You've Got To Receive That Gift.

The Scripture Says That God Blesses Where Men Walk In Unity, So We Just Thought It's Good For Us To Come Together As Democrats, Republicans; Believers, Nonbelievers, All Different Walks Of Life And Say Hey, We Are Here To Celebrate The Goodness Of God.

A Lot Of Preachers' Kids Are Some Of The Most Rebellious Kids In The World. I Never Was Like That.

It Seems Like When I Was Growing Up There Was More Compromise, Wanting To Work With Each Other, And I Think All Of Them - All Of The Lawmakers - Have Hearts To Do What's Right, And They All Are Passionate About It.

Let Go Of The Old, Take Hold Of The New And Believe That 2013 Will Be Your Best Year Yet!

If You’re Controlled By Your Circumstances, Life Is Going To Be A Roller Coaster With Ups And Downs. God Wants You To Be Stable, Consistent, Not Moved By Any Of These Things. When You Face An Adversity, When You Hit A Tough Time, One Of The Best Things You Can Do Is Simply Stay Calm. Keep Your Peace.

The People God Put In Your Life Are Not There By Accident. Don’t Get So Busy That You Just Give Them Your Leftover Time.

My Belief As A Christian Is When We Receive Christ As Salvation, That That Gives Us A Guarantee For Heaven.

You May Have Made A Lot Of Wrong Choices, But You’ve Also Made A Lot Of Choices That Were Right. Focus On Your Good Qualities. Focus On Your Victories. Get Off The Treadmill Of Guilt.

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.

If Youre Alive And Breathing, You Can Still Become Everything God Has Created You To Be.

God Can Cause Opportunity To Find You. He Has Unexpected Blessings Where You Suddenly Meet The Right Person, Or Suddenly Your Health Improves, Or Suddenly You're Able To Pay Off Your House. That's God Shifting Things In Your Favor.

Don't Waste Your Energy Trying To Convince People To Understand You. Your Time Is Too Valuable To Try To Prove Yourself To People.

I Don't Argue When People Say That My Message Is Simple, But I Believe Jesus' Message Was Simple.

Difficult Times Don't Come Your Way Just So You Can Survive Them; God Uses These Times In Your Life To Form And Refine You.

Difficult Times

I Believe God Wants You To Have Money To Pay Your Bills, Send Your Kids To College And Do Charity Work And Build Orphanages. There's The Teaching That We're Supposed To Be Poor To Show That We're Humble. I Don't Buy That. I Think We're Supposed To Be Leaders. We're Supposed To Excel.

Friend, There's No Greater Investment In Life Than In Being A People Builder. Relationships Are More Important Than Our Accomplishments.

I Think Sometimes You Just Lose Your Focus, And I Think That's Easy To Do When You Start Getting More Fame, More Money, More Power.

Instead Of Telling God How Big Your Problems Are, Tell Your Problem How Big Your God Is.

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.

No Matter How Long It's Been, No Matter How Impossible It Looks, If You'll Stay In Faith, Your Time Is Coming.

Christian Inspirational

When You Face Difficult Times, Know That Challenges Are Not Sent To Destroy You. They're Sent To Promote, Increase And Strengthen You.

Don’t Use Your Energy To Worry. Use Your Energy To Believe.

My Actions Will Follow My Expectations.

Certainly, None Of Us Enjoy Going Through Struggles, But You Have To Understand That Your Struggle May Be An Opportunity For Advancement And Promotion. The Very Thing You Are Fighting Against So Tenaciously May Be The Springboard That Catapults You To A New Level Of Excellence. Your Challenges May Become Your Greatest Assets.

Act Like You're Blessed. Talk Like You're Blessed. Walk Like You're Blessed. Put Actions Behind Your Faith, And One Day You Will See It Become A Reality.

Sustaining Faith Is What Sets You Through Those Dark Nights Of The Soul When You Don’t Know Where To Go Or What To Do, And It Seems That You Can’t Last Another Day…but Because Of Your Faith In God, You Do.

This Is A Day That God Has Given Me. It's A Gift. I Can Never Relive This Day. And I'm Not Going To Live It Angry, In Unforgiveness, And Mad At Somebody. If I Don't Get My Way, I'm Going To Believe That God's Still In Control.

Jesus Was Saying That You Can't Have A Larger Life With Restricted Attitudes.

There Are People In Your Path Just So You Can Be A Blessing To Them. Anytime You Do Good For Others, You Are Sowing A Seed For God To Be Good To You.

Don't Put A Question Mark Where God Has Put A Period.

When U Have This Spirit Of Excellence, U Do The Right Thing Always :even If No One Is Watching You.

Don't Focus On What's Wrong. Things May Not Be Perfect, But Be Grateful For The Opportunity To Experience Each Day. Live Each Day Like It Could Be Your Last.

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.

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.

You Will Never Change What You Tolerate.

I Believe God, Jesus, Died That We Not Just Go To Heaven But That We Excel In This Life. I Never Think You Make Money Your Goal... God Wants You To Excel. Just Keep Him In First Place, And God Will Open Up Doors You Never Dreamed Of.

That's My Thing - Keep Filled With Faith. Keep Doing What You Can Do And I Believe God Will Do What You Can't Do.

I Don't Think You Should Spend Your Life Praying For Things, But I Do Believe You Should Thank God For What He's Given You... But I Think The Scripture Teaches Us That We Can Pray For Our Dreams, Pray For The Big Things... He's Not A Small God; This God Is Incredible.

You May Be At A Crossroads In Your Life. You May Have Issues To Deal With; People You Need To Forgive. You Can Go One Of The Two Ways. You Can Ignore What You Now Know To Be True And Keep Burying That Bitterness In Your Life, Pushing It Deeper And Allowing It To Poison And Contaminate You And Those Around You. Or You Can Make A Much Better Choice By Getting It Out In The Open And Asking God To Help You To Totally Forgive And Let It All Go.

God Honors Obedience, And He Has Distinct Plans For Us. I Think The Dreams That God Puts In Our Hearts, We Can Fulfill. He's Equipped Us For That.

You Don't Know Why God Has Put That Person In Your Path. It's Not A Coincidence. He's Strategically Lined Up Every Person, Every Detail And Every Step Of Your Life. Now Do Your Part--don't Miss An Opportunity To Do Good For Others.

Today, Use Your Words To Lift Up And Bless The People Around You.

You Have To Come To Your Closed Doors Before You Get To Your Open Doors... What If You Knew You Had To Go Through 32 Closed Doors Before You Got To Your Open Door? Well, Then You'd Come To Closed Door Number Eight And You'd Think, 'great, I Got Another One Out Of The Way'... Keep Moving Forward.

Sometimes In Life, A Fog Sets In And You Don't Know Which Way Is The Right Direction. Every Voice May Tell You It's Not Going To Happen, But God Has Placed A Promise In Your Heart. Refuse To Listen To Those Voices. Keep Believing.

You Can Be Happy Where You Are.

The Only Difference Between Black Coal And A Precious Diamond Is The Amount Of Pressure It Endured.

There Are A Lot Of Decisions We Pass Up On Because We Think, "you Know What? That's Just Going To Build - You Know, Maybe That's Going To Build Me And Not Build The Ministry And What I'm Trying To Do." So We Pass Up On A Lot Of Opportunities.

Happiness Is Always A Choice. You Can't Wait For Circumstances To Get Better. You Have To Create Your Own Good Fortune. So Look For Ways To Be Happy Every Day.

Positive Thinking

Let Go Of Yesterday. Let Today Be A New Beginning And Be The Best That You Can, And You'll Get To Where God Wants You To Be.

The Dream In Your Heart May Be Bigger Than The Environment In Which You Find Yourself. Sometimes You Have To Get Out Of That Environment In Order To See Your Dream Fulfilled.

God's Way Is Better Than Your Way. His Plan Is Bigger Than Your Plan. His Dream For Your Life Is More Rewarding, More Fulfilling, Better Than You've Ever Dreamed Of. Now Stay Open And Let God Do It His Way.

Never Let Discouraging People And Discouraging Situations Talk You Out Of Your Dream.

When Thoughts Tell You It’s Too Late, Dismiss Them. You Haven’t Dreamed Your Best Dream. You Haven’t Run Your Best Race.

The Main Message Of It Is To Not Get Stagnant And That God Wants Us To Continue To Grow And Become A Better Person.

The Marriage Partner Is Not Really The Problem. No Other Person Can Ultimately Make You Happy. You Must Learn How To Be Happy Within Yourself.

How To Be Happy

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.

Don't Settle In The Land Of Barely Enough. That Is Where You Are, It Is Not Who You Are. That's Your Location, It's Not Your Identity. No Matter What It Looks Like, Have An Abundant Mentality.

Gays Are Some Of The Nicest, Kindest, Most Loving People In The World.

Every Day We Have Plenty Of Opportunities To Get Angry, Stressed Or Offended. But What You're Doing When You Indulge These Negative Emotions Is Giving Something Outside Yourself Power Over Your Happiness. You Can Choose To Not Let Little Things Upset You.

Your Life May Have Taken A Detour, But God Is Still On The Throne. He Has Brought You This Far, And Sooner Or Later, Your Peace Will Be Restored.

Your Destiny Is Not Determined By Your Critics. Focus On Running Your Own Race.

Be A People Builder. Look For Opportunities To Encourage Others To Bring Out The Best In Them.

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.

Sometimes We Focus On The Mess Or The Broken Dream, But In All The Mess God Sees Greatness. He Knows How To Take Your Troubles And Turn Them Into Trophies, How To Take The Test And Make It Your Testimony.

When You Are Grateful, That Allows God To Do Great Things In Your Life.

To Me, We're Marketing Hope.

Father, I Desire To Please You In Everything I Do. I Declare That You Are Good And Faithful. I Trust You With My Whole Heart And Believe That You Are A Rewarder Of Those Who Diligently Seek You. I Bless You And Honor You Today In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We May Get Knocked Down On The Outside, But The Key To Living In Victory Is To Learn How To Get Up On The Inside.

Make The Decision And Say, "i'm Not Letting That Worry In. I'm Done Being Upset When My Plans Don't Work Out. I'm Not Letting That Stress In." Negative Thoughts Will Still Come To Your Mind, But You Don't Have To Let Them Into Your Spirit.

I Realize That As Quick As You Go Up, You Can Really Come Down That Quick. And We've Seen It Happen With Others.

Not Every Person Is Going To Understand You And That's Okay. They Have A Right To Their Opinion And You Have Every Right To Ignore It.

You May Think You’re Getting The Short End Of The Stick, But When It’s All Said And Done, God Will Make Sure That You Don’t Lose Anything Truly Valuable. Moreover, He’ll Make Sure You Get Your Just Reward. Your Responsibility Is To Remain Calm And Peaceable Even When Those Around You Are Not.

When I Hear Mitt Romney Say That He Believes That Jesus Is The Son Of God, That He's The Christ, Raised From The Dead, That He's His Savior - That's Good Enough For Me.

When You Allow What Someone Says Or Does To Upset You, You're Allowing Them To Control You.

For A While... To Be An Evangelical Meant You Were A White Republican, And You Were Against This And Against That. I Don't Want To Be Put Into That Mold, Because Then People Judge You Before They Even Listen... I Don't Want To Divide The Very People I Am Trying To Reach.

If You Want Your Life To Get Better, Sometimes The Best Thing You Can Do Is To Help Improve Somebody Else's Life.

When You Have Big Dreams, You’re Going To Have Big Challenges. If You Were An Average Person You Would Have Average Problems.

Every Twenty-four Hours God Has A Fresh New Supply Of Grace, Of Favor, Of Wisdom, Of Forgiveness.

I Am The Sum Total Of What I Have Been Confessing Through The Years.

Through The Years

Being Successful Doesn’t Necessarily Make You Great. What Makes You Great Is When You Reach Back And Help Somebody Else Become Great.

Being Successful

It Is Your Choice To Be Happy. Make Up Your Mind To Enjoy This Day, To Have A Blessed, Prosperous, Victorious Year. You May Have Some Setbacks And Your Circumstances May Change, But Don't Let That Change Your Mind. Keep It Set On Happiness.

Keep A Good Attitude And Do The Right Thing Even When It's Hard. When You Do That You Are Passing The Test. And God Promises You Your Marked Moments Are On Their Way.

I'm Not A Big Believer In Trying To Jam Stuff Down Somebody's Throat: 'you're Going To Do It My Way.' I'd Rather Show By Example And Live My Life And Have People Say, 'you Know What, I Want To Live Like Joel Has. He's Got Peace And Joy, And He Seems Content.'

People Have The Right To Their Opinion And You Have The Right To Ignore It.

When Nobody Else Celebrates You, Learn To Celebrate Yourself. When Nobody Else Compliments You, Then Compliment Yourself. It's Not Up To Other People To Keep You Encouraged. It's Up To You. Encouragement Should Come From The Inside.

Compliments You

Stop Focusing On What You Cant Do, Focus On What God Can Do.

I've Always Been An Encourager At Heart.

My Daddy Tried To Get Me Up To Speak For The 17 Years That I Worked Behind The Scenes, But I Never Had The Desire. Naturally, I Was Nervous And Kind Of Shy. I Just Didn't Want To Do It.

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.

If You Don't Have The Gift Of A Loving Supportive Family, Be That Gift For Someone Else. It Doesn't Have To Be A Relative, Just Someone You Know Who Is Alone Or Hurting Over The Holiday.

Associate With People Of Vision. Be Around Those Who Inspire You And Motivate You To Reach Your Dreams.

God Will Always Bring The Right People Into Your Life, But You Have To Let The Wrong People Walk Away.

God Has Already Done Everything He's Going To Do. The Ball Is Now In Your Court. If You Want Success, If You Want Wisdom, If You Want To Be Prosperous And Healthy, You're Going To Have To Do More Than Meditate And Believe; You Must Boldly Declare Words Of Faith And Victory Over Yourself And Your Family.

I Didn't Try To Copy My Dad Or Fit Into The Pressure Or The Mold That Everybody Tried To Make Me Fit Into.

Don't Ever Say Anything Negative About Yourself.

Forgiveness Doesn't Mean That What That Person Did Was Right Or That You Even Have To Get Back Into A Relationship With That Person. Forgiveness Simply Releases The Debt They Owe You So That God Can Release The Debt You Owe Him. Ask The Lord To Search Your Heart And Show You If There Is Any Unforgiveness Blocking His Blessing In Your Life. 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.

I Think The First Thing To Do Is To Be Aware That You Can Choose What You're Thinking About And That Your Life Is Going Down The Path That You're Thinking.

I'm Not For Gay Marriage, But I'm Not For Discriminating Against People.

God Has Put People In Your Life On Purpose, Don't Live To Get, Live To Give.

When You Focus On Being A Blessing, God Makes Sure That You Are Always Blessed In Abundance.

Focus And Concentration

I Don't Go Down The Road Of Condemning.

Rewards Await You If You Stay Steadfast In Your Faith.

Stay Focused, Ignore The Distractions, And You Will Accomplish Your Goals Much Faster.

Accomplish Your Goals

You've Got To Send Your Words Out In The Direction You Want Your Life To Go.

I Believe That God's Dream Is That We Be Successful In Our Careers, And That We Be Able To Send Our Kids To College. I Don't Mean That Everyone Is Going To Be Rich, And I Preach A Lot On Blooming Where You're Planted. But I Don't Have The Mindset That Money Is A Bad Thing.

Choose Today To Let The Peace Of Christ Rule In Your Heart And Have An Attitude Of Gratitude Toward The Lord. Even If You Have Things That Are Upsetting You, Take A Step Of Faith And Begin To Thank God For His Goodness In Your Life. Thank Him For Working Behind The Scenes On Your Behalf. As You Do, You Will Walk Forward Into The Life Of Blessing He Has In Store For You!

God Wants Us To Prosper Financially, To Have Plenty Of Money, To Fulfill The Destiny He Has Laid Out For Us.

You Were Created To Make Somebody Else’s Life Better. Somebody Needs Your Smile. They Need Your Love, Your Encouragement & Your Gifts.

That's What I Feel Like I'm Called To Do - To Plant A Seed Of Hope In People's Hearts.

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

Every Setback Means You're One Step Closer To Seeing The Dream Come To Pass.

If Prosperity Means God Wants Us To Be Blessed And Healthy And Have Good Relationships Then Yes, I'm A Prosperity Teacher. But If It's About Money, No, I Never Preach About Money. I Probably Stay Away From It More Than Normal Because Televangelists Get A Bad Name. People Put Me In That Category Because I Do Believe That God Does Want Us To Be Happy, Healthy, And Whole.

True Success Is When You Reach Back And Bring Somebody Along With You.

Other People's Opinions Do Not Determine Your Potential.

Isn't It Funny How Babies Laugh A Lot? I Read A Toddler, A Young Child Laughs 300 Times A Day. The Average Adult Laughs, Like, Four Times A Day. God Put It In Them. He Put The Laugh In Us, But I Think Sometimes We Let Life Get Us Down, You Know, Have Bad Breaks, And We Lose Our Breaks.

God Made You A Masterpiece - Be Blessed, Secure, Disciplined And Equipped.

I Think How You Start The Day Many Times Determines What Kind Of Day You're Going To Have.

No Matter What May Be Happening Today, God Has Good Things In Store For Your Future! It May Not Be Easy To See Now, But God Has Already Lined Up A New Beginning, New Friendships And New Opportunities For You.

You Can't Live A Positive Life Thinking Negative Thoughts. Dwell On The Positive.

Sometimes You Have To Put Your Own Dreams On Hold Temporarily So You Can Help Release A Dream In Somebody Else. What You Make Happen For Others, God Will Make Happen For You.

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.

I Don't Want To Just Preach To The Church. I Feel Like I Have A Broader Message.

I Just Think That It's Strong And It's Important That We Recognize What The Christmas Season Is About; It's About The Birth Of Our Savior, And There's A Lot Of Pressure Today To Be Politically Correct ,but People Are Realizing, Too, That You Have To Be Open To Express Your Faith What You Want Believe.

When You Serve Others, When You Make Somebody Else’s Life Better, When You Lift Up People, When You Help Heal Those That Are Hurting, Not Only Are They Being Blessed, But You’re Being Blessed.

I See People - They Won't Be Negative Toward Other People, But Inside They're Negative Toward Themselves, And I Think That Holds Us Back.

There's Plenty About God That I Don't Understand And Can't Explain. But I Come Back To My Core Belief That God Is Good, That He's For Us.

You're Not Really Free Until You're Free From Trying To Please Everybody.

You Have A Destiny To Fulfill, Something Greater Than You've Ever Even Imagined. But If You're Going To Become All You Were Created To Be, You've Got To Take Off The “average” Label.

One Of The Main Reasons That We Lose Our Enthusiasm In Life Is Because We Become Ungrateful..we Let What Was Once A Miracle Become Common To Us. We Get So Accustomed To His Goodness It Becomes A Routine.

I Know What's In My Future Is Greater Than What's In My Past So I Am Pressing Forward In Life.

Forward In Life

I Believe God's Keeping The Records And I Believe You Will Be Rewarded Even In This Life; Somehow, Some Way God Will Make It Up To You.

I Think God Gives Every One Of Us Our Own Will, And Unfortunately, Some People Choose To Do Evil Things With It.

It’s Vital That You Accept Yourself And Learn To Be Happy With Who God Made You To Be. If You Want To Truly Enjoy Your Life, You Must Be At Peace With Yourself.

Accepting Yourself

Every One Of Us Has Secret Dreams And Desires Along With Seeds Of Greatness Implanted Within Us. You Too Have Gifts To Share With This World. There Is Buried Treasure Within You, Waiting To Be Discovered. Your Full Potential Has Not Been Released Yet. Your God-given Divine Destiny Awaits You.

There Will Always Be Somebody More Successful, More Beautiful, More Talented. You Have To Realize, You're Not Running Their Race. You're Running Your Race.

Heavenly Father, Thank You For Your Peace That Rules My Heart. I Choose Your Peace Today And Thank You For Guiding My Every Step. I Choose To Be Thankful Today And Bless You For Your Faithfulness. In Jesus Name. Amen.

There Are Times You Will Be Given Intuition, You Just Know Something, And You Can't Explain It. Don't Override It. Don't Talk Yourself Out Of It. That's The Creator Giving You Inside Information.

When We Don’t Forgive, We’re Not Hurting The Other Person. We’re Not Hurting The Company That Did Us Wrong. We’re Not Hurting God. We’re Only Hurting Ourselves.

You Have To Turn It Around And Say God Still Has A Great Plan For My Life. I May Not Understand Things That Happen, But Faith Is All About Trusting When You Don't Understand It.
