Patience Is Not Just About Waiting For Something... It's About How You Wait, Or Your Attitude While Waiting.

Harboring Unforgiveness Is Like Drinking Poison And Hoping Your Enemy Will Die.

We Can Improve Our Relationships With Others By Leaps And Bounds If We Become Encouragers Instead Of Critics.

Leaps And Bounds

When We Make Progress Quickly, It Feeds Our Emotions. Then, When There's A Period Of Waiting Or We Hit A Plateau, We Find Out How Committed We Really Are And Whether We're Going To See Things Through To The Finish Or Quit.

As Long As We Complain, We Remain Stuck In Our Problems. But A Thankful Attitude Brings Deliverance And Makes God Smile.

My Father Was A Mean, Controlling And Manipulative Person For Most Of His Life. He Was Unpredictable And Unstable.

Prayer Is Simply Talking To God Like A Friend And Should Be The Easiest Thing We Do Each Day.

There’s Nothing More Dangerous To The Kingdom Of Darkness Than A Believer With The Word Of God In Their Mouth.

Without Joy In Your Life You Are Powerless.

Our Feelings Are Real And They Are Powerful, But They Are Not More Powerful Than God And Truth.

If We Continue To Believe God And Place Our Trust In Him, Bad Things Ultimately Give Way To Better Things.

God Sometimes Allows Us To Feel Anger So We'll Recognize When We're Being Mistreated. But Even When We Experience True Injustices In Our Lives, We Must Not Vent Our Anger In An Improper Way.

We Must Remember We Are Stewards Of What God Has Provided For Us, Not Owners.

God Is More Concerned About Your Heart Than Your Performance. If Your Heart Is Right, Your Performance Will Eventually Catch Up.

I Want To Dedicate The Rest Of My Life To Spreading The Love Of Christ. Because God Has Done So Much For Me And Has Given Me This Platform To Speak Into Millions Of Lives, I Feel It Is My Duty...

Average Is Very Acceptable In Our Society But I Don't Think The Angels Are Applauding. If You Are Determined To Be Excellent, To Not Back Out Of It, You Will Reap A Harvest In Your Life.

When Discipline Is Sown, Like A Good Seed, It Yields A Harvest Of Things That Fulfill And Satisfy Us-things That Make Us Happy And Release Peace And Joy In Our Lives.

Teachers Can Change Lives With Just The Right Mix Of Chalk And Challenges.

Negative Minds Full Of Fear And Doubt Produce Negative Lives, Which Can Ultimately Destroy Your Life.

Religion Is A Very Dangerous Thing. By That I Mean Being So Caught Up In Rules And Regulations And Not Focusing On The Thing That Matters Most- A Personal Relationship With God.

If You Want To Become Fully Mature In The Lord, You Must Learn To Love Truth. Otherwise, You Will Always Leave Open A Door Of Deception For The Enemy To Take What Is Meant To Be Yours.

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

When We Believe The Best Of People, We Let Go Of Each Thing They Do That Is Hurtful To Us. And We Choose To Think Things Like, 'i Don't Believe They Meant To Hurt Me.' 'maybe They're Having A Bad Day Or Don't Feel Well.' 'they Probably Don't Even Realize How They Sound.'

Stop Focusing On What's Wrong With Everyone Else And Start Focusing On How Blessed You Are.

Christian Inspirational

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.

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.

Learn How To Enjoy Where You Are On The Way To Where You're Going.

We Need To Put No Confidence In The Arm Of Flesh, But Rather Trust Ourselves Entirely To The Arm Of The Lord.

Feeling Sorry For Ourselves Is The Most Useless Waste Of Energy On The Planet. It Does Absolutely No Good. We Can't Let Our Circumstances Or What Others Do Or Don't Do Control Us. We Can Decide To Be Happy Regardless.

I Always Say Believe For A Bunch, And Even If You Only Get Half Of It You Are Better Off Than Believing For A Little And Getting All Of It.

Encourage Everyone You Meet With A Smile Or Compliment. Make Them Feel Better When You Leave Their Presence And They Will Always Be Glad To See You Coming.

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. I Believe That Hundreds Of Thousands Of People Miss Their God-ordained Destiny And They Never Really Feel Satisfied, Content And Fulfilled, Because They're So Busy Trying To Keep Everybody Else Satisfied With Them That They Don't Ever Get Around To Doing What They Really Want To Do.

Don’t Wait Around Waiting For God To Do Something That He’s Already Given You The Power To Do.

Forgiveness Is Nothing More And Nothing Less Than An Act Of Self-healing-an Act Of Self-empowermen T.

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

Everyone Knows How To Smile. Its One Of The Greatest Gifts God Has Given Us. A Smile Makes People Feel Good, And People Look So Beautiful When They Smile.

We Live In A Time-crunched World, And Just About Everything We Do Seems To Be Urgent.

We Don't Think There's Something Wrong With One- Year-old Children Because They Can't Walk Perfectly. They Fall Down Frequently, But We Pick Them Up, Love Them, Bandage Them If Necessary, And Keep Working With Them. Surely Our Heavenly Father Can Do Even More For Us Than We Do For Our Children.

You Can't Be Pitiful And Powerful.

Your Worst Day With God Is Still Better Than Your Best Day Without Him.

Everything We Run Away From Has Power Over Us;everything We Go Through,we Conquer.

Nobody Has A Perfect Life And It's Entirely Possible That If You Want Someone Else's Life They Are Busy Wanting Someone Else's Too–maybe Even Yours.

Wanting Someone

Don't Be Afraid Of Change, Because It Is Leading You To A New Beginning.

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

The Only Way To Break The Chains Of Fear And Doubt Is To Know In Your Heart That God Loves You-no Matter What.

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.

When I Read The Bible, I See That We Should Have Victory In Our Life And Be Overcomers, And I Can't Even Control My Temper. I'm Impatient. I'm Hard To Get Along With. I'm Selfish And Self-centered, And I Don't Seem To Have Any Control Over It.

Home Run Portrays The Church In Its Beauty--true Life Transformation Through Real And Honest Relationships With One Another And With Jesus.

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 Can Get Excited By Thinking About What All We Have Or Can Have, Or We Can Get Discouraged By Thinking About What All We Don't Have.

God Is Not There Just For Emergencies.

There Are Two Kinds Of Pain: The Pain Of Change And The Pain Of Never Changing And Remaining The Same.

We Often Say God Is Never Late, But Generally He Isn’t Early Either. Why? Because He Uses Times Of Waiting To Stretch Our Faith In Him And To Bring About Change And Growth In Our Lives.

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.

It's So Important To Realize That Every Time You Get Upset, It Drains Your Emotional Energy. Losing Your Cool Makes You Tired. Getting Angry A Lot Messes With Your Health.

I've Discovered That When We Take Time To Renew Our Minds With God's Word, We Learn How To Think Like God Thinks, Say What God Says, And Act Like He Wants Us To Act.

Serving God Doesn’t Mean We’ll No Longer Have Difficulties. We’re Still On The Battlefield, But We Don’t Have To Fight Alone.

Every Day Is A Gift From God. Learn To Focus On The Giver And Enjoy The Gift!

Satan Is The Master Distracter. He Is Always Working To Keep Us Off Track In Our Walk With God.

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

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

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.

Put Your Expectations On God, Not On People.

Sowing And Reaping Is A Spiritual Law...sow Generously And You Will Reap Generously.

You Deal With Doubt All The Time. You Have To Choose To Believe God In Every Situation. I Remind Myself All The Time, Get Out Of Fear. Get Out Of Doubt. Get Back In Faith.

Don't Allow Yourself To Be Upset And Disturbed. Hold Your Peace Because Without It You Have No Power.

Where There Is No Opposition To Evil, It Multiplies.

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

We Need To Do What We Can Do And Let God Do What We Cannot.

Some People Have A Difficult Time Facing Truth And Reality. They Prefer To Live In A Make-believe World, Pretending That Certain Things Aren't Happening.

Jesus Didn't Die For Us So We Could Pretend To Be Something We're Not.

We Cannot Know God Apart From His Word.

If Your Inner Life Is Not Producing What You Would Like On The Outside, Don't Be Discouraged... Just Be Willing To Change.

Willing To Change

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.

Things In Themselves Have No Life In Them. A Car Can't Comfort Or Encourage You. A House Means Nothing If There's No Life And Love Inside.

Sometime We Get So Addicted To Murmuring About The Past And Blaming The Past For Everything That We Miss Our Whole Future. You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Future, And You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Right Now, If All You Can Do Is Be Guilty And Ashamed And Afraid Of Your Past.

Life Will Not Always Change, So We Must Be Willing To Change.

Willing To Change

Some Christians Feel Guilty When They Are Doing Something That Isn't 'spiritual.' Somehow Or Another, They Feel The Need To Hurry Through The Grocery Store, Dash Through The House Cleaning, And Rush Through All The Daily Aspects Of Life That Seem Irrelevant To Their Faith.

We Cannot Stand Through The Storms Of Life Based On Someone Else's Faith. We Must Be Fully Assured In Our Own Hearts And Minds.

You Have To Press Against The Pressure That’s Pressing Against You!

The Source Of Our Stress Isn't Really Difficulties, Circumstances And Situations-it's Our Attitude And Approach Toward Them.

Ask God For Help. Don't Think That You Can Handle This Yourself.

Having Everything Your Way Is Highly Overrated.

I Was Tormented With Guilt For Years And Years. In Fact, It Was So Bad That If I Didn't Feel Wrong, I Didn't Feel Right!

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

Purpose Of Life

Faithfulness Is Not Doing Something Right Once But Doing Something Right Over And Over And Over And Over.

If You Can't Learn To Enjoy Your Life When You Have Problems, You May Never Enjoy It Because We'll Always Have Problems.

Embrace Your Life, Count Your Blessings, And Don’t Complain About What You Don’t Have.

Count Your Blessings

I Encourage You To Be A Person Who Is Not Afraid Of Responsibility. In Meeting Resistance You Will Build Your Strength. If You Only Do What Is Easy, You Will Always Remain Weak.

Getting Stress Out Of Your Life Takes More Than Prayer Alone. You Must Take Action To Make Changes And Stop Doing Whatever Is Causing The Stress. You Can Learn To Calm Down In The Way You Handle Things.

My Hope Is That God Will Have Changed People's Lives Through Me For The Better.

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.

Intimate Relationships

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.

The Flesh, Or Human Nature, Is Generally Lazy And Self-centered.

Nobody Can Ever Say That Being Negative Ever Helped Them At All - Not In Any Way.

There Is No Hope Of Anyone Going To Heaven Unless They Believe This Truth I Am Presenting. You Cannot Go To Heaven Unless You Believe With All Your Heart That Jesus Took Your Place In Hell.

When You Take Time With God And Listen To His Voice, He Renews Your Strength And Enables You To Handle Life.

As Believers In Jesus Christ, Our Work Is To Believe While God Works On Our Behalf.

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.

If You're Missing Joy And Peace, You're Not Trusting God.

The Word Of God Is Different Than Other Words Because God's Word Is Stuffed Full Of Power And Anointing.

Where The Mind Goes, The Man Follows.

We Don't Always Help People By Doing Everything For Them. That Type Of Behavior Can Actually Contribute To Their Problems Because It Helps Then Never Take Responsibility On Their Own.

Wow! You Might Actually Have To Act Like A Christian Sometimes!

When You Forgive, You're Not Doing God A Favor, You Are Giving Yourself The Gift Of Freedom.

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

God Doesn’t Tell You To Do Hard Things So He Can Stand Back And Laugh And Watch You Struggle. He Tells You To Do Things The Things That He Knows Are Gonna Work Out To Your Good In The End.

It's Certainly Not Wrong To Want To Be A Better Person. God Gave Us That Desire.

Don't Just Let The Devil Use Your Mind As A Garbage Dump.

If You Are Accused Of Being A Christian, There Should Be Enough Evidence To Convict You.

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

It Is Not About Doing What We Feel Like. It Is About Doing What God Says.

Your Emotions Are Very Unstable And Should Never Be The Foundation For Direction In Your Life.

You Can Get Over A Broken Past If You Decide To Believe That There's Nothing In Your Past That Can Keep You From Having A Great Future.

I Like Gifts. I Like To Give Them And I Like To Get 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.

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

The Biggest Thing I Have To Keep In Mind Is Balance. I Have Certain Times And Days That I Dedicate To Certain Responsibilities. It Is Very Important To Not Become Unbalanced In An Area, Spending Too Much Time In One Area And Not Another.

We Are Not A Failure Just Because We Fail At Something. Nobody Is A Failure Unless They Quit Trying!

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?

Although God Loves Us Unconditionally, He Does Get Angry At Sin, Wickedness And Evil. But He Is Not An Angry God. God Hates Sin, But He Loves Sinners! He Will Never Approve Of Sin In Your Life, But He Always Loves You And Wants To Work With You To Make Progress In Living A Holy Life In Christ.

I Used To Worry About Every Little Thing, Trying To Figure Out Every Problem. Well, I Realize Now How Foolish That Was. I Was No More In Control Of My Life Than The Man On The Moon.

Our Problems Are God's Opportunities.

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

Do You Serve God Or Do You Serve Your Feelings? Believe The Word Of God Over And Above Your Feelings.

New Level, New Devil.

Really Showing Love Requires More Than Just Words.

God Will Help You Be All You Can Be, But He Will Never Let You Be Successful At Becoming Someone Else.

You Have A Great God Who Loves You And Cares About You. Be Full Of Hope That Something Good Can Happen To You. God Is A Master At New Beginnings. He Loves Fresh Beginnings, He Makes All Things New.

You're So Caught Up In Grumbling, Complaining, And Seeing What's Wrong That You Have No Energy Or Time To Appreciate What's Good.

Giving In To Fear Alters God's Best Plan For Your Life.

When I Was A Teenager, I Didn't Get To Do A Lot Of The Things That Other Kids My Age Were Doing Because My Dad Was Very Controlling And He Wouldn't Allow Me To Go To School Activities, Like Games And Dances. So I Didn't Have Positive Expectations For My Future Or Really Dream About What I Could Do With My Life. I Was Just Trying To Survive Until I Could Get Out On My Own.

I Believe Confidence Is All About Being Positive Concerning What You Can Do -- And Not Worrying Over What You Can't Do. A Confident Person Is Open To Learning, Because She Knows That Her Confidence Allows Her To Walk Through Life's Doorways, Eager To Discover What Waits On The Other Side. She Knows That Every New Unknown Is A Chance To Learn More About Herself And Unleash Her Abilities.

Give Him Your Mess And Let It Become Your Message.

It's Amazing How Much Information Is Coming At Us Most Of The Time Through Technology, The Media And The Busyness Of The World Around Us. I've Decided That The World Probably Isn't Going To Change, So I Have To Change. I'm Learning How To Keep My Mind On What I'm Doing, Rather Than Thinking About Several Things At Once Or What I Want To Do Next.

If You Will Stop Feeding Your Feelings, Then They Will Stop Controlling You.

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.

The Great Quest Of Life Has Always Been To Discover Truth.

An Affirmation To Say Everyday: The Healing Power Of God Is Working In Me Right Now. Eveyr Day I Get Better And Better In Every Way.

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.

Make Sure You Are Doing What Is Important To God-not Just What Is Important To Everyone Else You Know.

Giving Is Just One Way Of Expressing That God Has Been Good To You And Will Continue To Do So Through Your Being Good To Others.

I Pray While Driving. I Pray While Working, And While Relaxing.

Decide That You Don’t Mind Being Inconvenienced Or Interrupted, And God Will Use You To Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

It Is Not That We Don't Have Faith It Is Just That Satan Is Trying To Destroy Our Faith With Lies.

God's Grace Is Amazing! We're Saved By Grace - God's Undeserved Favor - And We Live By Grace, Which Is Also God's Power In Our Lives To Do What We Could Never Do In Our Own Strength. And It's All Because God Is Love, And He Loves Us Unconditionally, Constantly And Completely.

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

Satan Can Control You If You Let Outward Things Determine Your Security.

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.

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

Some People Are Hurting So Bad You Have To Do More Than Preach A Message To Them. You Have To Be A Message To Them.

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.

When We Fill Our Thoughts With Right Things, The Wrong Ones Have No Room To Enter

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

Worrying Is Trying To Figure Out What To Do To Save Yourself Rather Than Trusting In God For Deliverance.

If You're Gonna Be Free, You Gotta Stop Caring What Everyone Thinks.

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

Set Your Mind That No Matter What Is Going On In Your Life, You Will Have A Good Attitude.

I Would Rather Stay Positive And Get 50 Percent Good Results, Than Stay Negative And Get 100 Percent Bad Results!

If You Only Do What Is Easy, You Will Always Remain Weak.

Prayer Is Such A Basic Foundation Of A Christian's Relationship With God. It's How We Communicate And Fellowship With Him. But A Surprising Number Of People, Young And Old, New And Even Long-time Christians, Say They're Not Satisfied With Their Prayer Life.

Courage Is Fear That Has Said Its Prayers And Decided To Go Forward Anyway.

If You Can Manage To Be Thankful In Every Situation, Really Believing That God Is Working Everything Out For Your Good, You Will End Up With The Victory Every Single Time.

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

Are You Living Up To Your Potential? God Made You With Potential - Potential For Greatness! If You Do What You Can Do, And Trust Him To Do What You Can't, You Will Grow Into The Person He Gave You The Potential To Be!

You Need To Be Moving If You Want God To Show You Which Way To Go.

Just Deciding To Forgive Isn't Enough Because Willpower Alone Won't Work - We Need Divine Strength From God. As He Gives Us The Strength, We Need To Pray For Our Enemies And Bless Them. Praying For Those Who Have Hurt Us Is Vital To Successfully Forgiving Them.

Forgiveness Is A Choice, Not A Feeling.

Your Joy Comes From How You Think, The Choices That We Make In Life.

Words Are Containers For Power

Brother And Sister So & So Are Not Your Standard; Jesus Is.

If You're Holding On To An Offense, Then You Haven't Forgiven The Person Who Hurt You. Unforgiveness Finds Excuses To Talk About What People Have Done To Us, And We'll Tell Anyone Who Will Listen. There's A Difference Between Sharing Your Testimony To Help Someone And Talking About What's Been Done To You Because You Are Angry About It.

If I Believe The Bible, Then I Don't Believe That A Gay Lifestyle Or A Homosexual Lifestyle Is The Right Way To Choose To Live. I Believe That There's Something So Much Better.

God Knows The Mess We’re In When He Calls Us. His Light Shines Greater Through “cracked Pots” Than It Does Through Those Who Have It All Together.

Sometimes If You Got A Problem Deep Rooted In Your Life, It Takes A Little Bit Of Time To Overcome It In That Area.

Grace Is Not The Freedom To Sin; It Is The Power To Live A Holy Life.

I Can't Very Well Be Teaching One Way And Living My Life Another Way. What I Do In Life Must Be Consistent With The Things I Say. And The Same Goes For You.

I Believe A Lot Of People That Are Gay, Had Even Had Problems Like I Had In The Past. I Think They've Been Hurt By Somebody From The Opposite Sex, And They Don't Know How To Function Right In Those Relationships.

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

After Years Of Abuse, It Was Difficult For Me To Understand God's Love. It Took Me Years To Truly Understand It.

It's True My Father Abused Me And Didn't Love And Protect Me The Way He Should Have, And At Times It Seemed No One Would Ever Help Me And It Would Never End. But God Always Had A Plan For My Life, And He Has Redeemed Me.

Love Listens To The Other Person And Searches For Clues On Ways To Serve, Bless And Lift Up That Person.

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.

Even If You Think The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side, You’re Going To Have To Mow That Side Too.

Grass Is Greener On The Other Side

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.

Trust And Faith Bring Joy To Life And Help Relationships Grow To Their Maximum Potential.

Nobody Likes To Have Trouble. The Moment We Get A Hint That It's Coming, A Common Response Is, 'oh No! Not Again!'

I Just Think Overall There's Not As Many Female Ministers Than There Are Male Ministers.

God Has Uniquely Gifted You To Help Someone. Be Available As God Opens Doors For You To Do So.

We All Need God's Power In Our Lives, And Prayer Is The Dynamic That Releases His Power, Sometimes In Dramatic Ways.

Today Lord I Am Going To Do My Best With Your Help And For Your Glory. I Realize That There Are Many Different People In The World With A Variety Of Opinions And Expectations. I Will Concentrate On Being A God-pleaser And Not A Self-pleaser Or Man-pleaser. The Rest I Leave In Your Hands Lord. Grant Me Favor With You And With Men And Continue Transforming Me Into The Image Of Your Dear Son. Thank You Lord.

Hope Is Favorable And Confident Expectation; It's An Expectant Attitude That Something Good Is Going To Happen And Things Will Work Out, No Matter What Situation We're Facing.

We Should Choose Our Thoughts Carefully. We Can Think About What Is Wrong With Our Lives Or About What Is Right With Them.

You Can Suffer The Pain Of Change Or Suffer Remaining The Way You Are.

Place Your Desires Before God. Pray About Them And Trust God To Give Them To You If And When They’re Right For You.

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.

Life Is What Comes Along After You Have Planned Something Else.

Christian Inspirational

If You Can't Control What You Think, You Will Not Be Able To Control What You Do.

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.

I Believe That Everyone Experiences Depression To Some Degree At Some Time In Their Lives. And There Are Probably Millions Of People Who Live With A Low Level Of Sadness And Heaviness Day In And Day Out.
