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.

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.

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.

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!

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've Been Saying For A Couple Of Years Now That People Need To Let God Out Of The Sunday Morning Box, That He Doesn't Want To Just Be With You For An Hour Or Two On Sunday Morning And Then Put Back In His Box To Sit There Until You Have An Emergency, But He Wants To Invade Your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, And Sunday.

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.

Refuse To Let Your Love Grow Cold. Stir Up Love In Your Life - Towards Your Spouse And Towards Your Family, Friends, Neighbours, Co-workers. Reach Out To Others Who Are Hurting And In Need.

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

One Might Say That Our Words Are A Movie Screen That Reveals What We Have Been Thinking And The Attitudes We Have.

The Power Of God Is Available To You Today To Help You Do Whatever You Need To Do And With A Smile On Your Face!

If We Live A Self-directed, Self-motivated, Self-centered Life, Always Needing To Get Our Own Way, Then We're Going To Be Miserable. In Fact, Many Times We Believe It's Our Problems That Are Making Us Unhappy When, In Reality, It's Because We're Focused On Ourselves!

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

It's Amazing If You Just Listen To People. They Tell You All The Time Things That You Can Do For Them, Without Even Realizing What They're Doing. I've Learned To Take Notice Of Those Things And If It's Something That I Feel God Wants Me To Do, Then I Try To Do That To Add Joy To Their Life.

As A Christian, Instead Of Concentrating On How You Feel, Focus On What You Know To Be Truth From The Word Of God.

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.

Many Sophisticated, Intelligent People Lack Wisdom And Common Sense.

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

When Someone Gives You Offense, It Doesn't Mean You Have To Take It.

We All Face Storms In Life. Some Are More Difficult Than Others, But We All Go Through Trials And Tribulation. That's Why We Have The Gift Of Faith.

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.

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's Like A Jar Of Salad Dressing Sitting On A Shelf... Most Of The Seasoning Settles To The Bottom Of The Bottle. But When You Shake That Bottle Up, All The Ingredients Mix Together And Then The Dressing Can Add Flavor To A Salad. In The Same Way, We Can Stir Ourselves Up And Regain The Reverence, Respect And Awe We Once Had For The Lord.

If You Can Believe The God Who Is Perfect Loves You Then You Can Believe That You Are Worth Loving.

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

Listening Is An Important Key To Hearing.

The Bible Says To 'fear Not,' But This Doesn't Mean You Should Never Feel Scared. It Means When You Do Feel Fear, Keep Going Forward And Do What You Are Supposed To Do. Or As I Like To Say, Do It Afraid.

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

I Want To Look My Best For God. So Many People Have The Attitude That If You're A Christian You've Got To Dress Bad, Wear An Old Color, Not Do Anything To Your Hair, Have Nothing. It's No Wonder That Christianity Is Not Very Attractive. I Mean, How Many People Do You Know In A Western Culture That's Going To Go, 'yeah, Give Me Some Of That?'

Today We Are Going To Talk About Words. You Know, Words Are Containers For Power. They Carry Creative Or Destructive Power. They Carry Positive Or Negative Power. We Can Choose Our Words And We Should Do It Carefully.

When You Begin To Worry, Go Find Something To Do. Get Busy Being A Blessing To Someone; Do Something Fruitful. Talking About Your Problem Or Sitting Alone, Thinking About It, Does No Good; It Serves Only To Make You Miserable. Above All Else, Remember That Worrying Is Totally Useless. Worrying Will Not Solve Your Problem.

Contentment With Life Is Not A Feeling, But It Is A Decision We Must Make.

God Wants Us To Be Totally Dependent On Him, And Suffering Seems To Bring Us To That Point.

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

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.

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.

A Relationship With Christ Changes Your Heart. It's Not About Your Head. It Changes Your Heart. Jesus Comes To Live In Your Heart, And Even If A Person Does Good Works, But They Do Them Without Christ, Most Of The Time, Their Motives Are Wrong For Why They Do Them.

Do You Know Something? The Minute That Blood Sacrifice Was Accepted, Jesus Was The First Human Being That Was Ever Born Again. Now That Was Real - It Happened When He Was In Hell.

God Cares About Everything That Concerns You, So Feel Free To Talk To Him About Anything.

Love And Self-control Are The Bookends Of The Fruit Of The Spirit. Remove One Of Them And The Rest Fall Over

Fruits Of The Spirit

You Can Have Jesus In Your Spirit And Have An Outrageous Mess In Your Soul, And If You Don't Know What That's Called, It's Called Religion.

Everything We Do Is To Be Offered To The Lord; And If Done So With A Pure Heart Of Love, It Becomes Holy.

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

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

Purpose Of Life

Any Day That We Don't Give Up Puts Us One Day Closer To Success!

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.

Death Is Not The Opposite Of Life, It Is A Part Of Life. A Part We've Not Yet Explored And Thus Do Not Understand And It If Only Natural To Fear What We Do Not Understand. But With The Right Attitude We Can Make Life Beautiful. With This Same Attitude, Can Death Not Be The Same? We Almost Always See Only What's Wrong With Other People And Not What's Wrong With Us.

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.

God Wants To Help Us... He Loves Us... We Are His Children. But He Will Not Force His Help On Us At Any Time. He Sees Us When We Struggle And Fight And Complain Our Way Through Things. And I Believe It Breaks His Heart, When All We Have To Do Is Ask Him For Help.

God Never Promised Us A Trouble-free Life.

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.

Through My Obedience To God, He Has Been Able To Use My Life To Help Others. It's Been A Great Journey And I'm Looking Forward To All The Things God Has In The Future.

We Have To Get Rid Of Excuses, No Matter Why You Are The Way You Are, Don't Let It Be An Excuse To Stay That Way.

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

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.

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

If You Were In A Full Fledged Emotional Temper Tantrum In Your House And I Knocked On Your Front Door..... Come On! Let Me Tell You What, You Would Get Control Of Yourself, And It Would Only Take A Few Seconds.

Too Many Christians Live Their Lives Like Slaves - To The Devil - Because They Believe His Lies More Than They Trust God.

Grace Equals Ability. God Gives Us Grace To Match Our Call. When We Do Our Own Thing, We Do It On Our Own. When We Follow His Leading, He Always Supplies The Grace And The Energy To Do What He's Calling Us To Do.

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.

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

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

We Don't Want To Survive. We Want To Be Healed.

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

Sometimes Love Is Best Expressed Through Service. Words Are Great, But When You Walk In Love, Your Commitment Must Be More Than Words.

I Had Lots Of Hurt And Lots Of Pain, Lots Of Woundedness, Bruises, Broken Heartedness In My Life. I Was Abused Sexually By My Father, Abused Mentally, Emotionally. My Mom Didn't Know What To Do About It, And She Was Being Hurt In The Process. So She Just Didn't Deal With It. And I Can Guarantee You, Just Because You Don't Deal With Something, That Doesn't Make It Go Away.

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.

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

You May Think That If Someone Else Doesn't Change, You Can Never Be Happy. But If You Change, You Can Be Happy No Matter What.

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

I Believe That The Greatest Gift You Can Give Your Family And The World Is A Healthy You.

Instead Of Being Critical Of People In Authority Over You And Envious Of Their Position, Be Happy You're Not Responsible For Everything They Have To Do. Instead Of Piling On Complaints, Thank Them For What They Do. Overwhelm Them With Encouragement And Appreciation!

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!

Everyday Ask God For Favor. He Can Open Doors For You That No One Else Can Open.

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.

Simplicity Is A Key To Avoiding Complication. Part Of The Definition Of Simplicity Is 'not Complex Or Complicated; Sincere.'

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.

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

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.

Sadly, If We Are Not Confident About Our Choices, We Can Easily Let Other Peoples' Comments Make Us Feel Guilty And Ruin The Joy We Need To Experience In Life Through Doing The Little Things That Mean A Lot To Us.

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

Satan Gains More Ground In The Believer's Life Through Unforgiveness Than Any Other Thing, So Be Sure You Let Go Of All Offense And Pray For Those Who Have Hurt You. It May Be Hard, But It Is The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself And The Kingdom Of God. Don't Stay Angry At Anyone Today Because It Will Hurt You More Than It Hurts Them.

I'm Just Telling You, God Permits Things In Our Lives Sometimes For Reasons That We Do Not Understand Yet Because Of The Spiritual Level That We're On. We Can't Have Any Understanding Of It, Because We're Not At A Place Of Spiritual Growth Yet Where We Understand The Deeper Things Of God.
