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.

I Teach And Believe That God Wants His People To Be Blessed. If We Give And We Are A Blessing To Other People, That God Promises In His Word That He Will Take Care Of Us. Actually, Says He'll Open The Windows Of Heaven And Pour Out A Blessing So Great That We Can't Contain It.

Character Is Doing What You Don't Want To Do But Know You Should Do.

In My Relationship With God, I've Learned That If I Follow A 'formula' For How I Spend My Time With Him, Then I'm Just Accomplishing A Checklist Of Things I Feel Obligated To Do To Please Him. This Makes My Spiritual Life More About Doing What I Need To Do To Fulfill An Obligation Than Something Meaningful.

Forgiveness Is A Choice, Not A Feeling.

You Are A Preacher! Maybe Not With Your Mouth All The Time Like Me, But As A Believer In Christ, Your Life Is A Living Sermon.

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.

Choosing An Attitude Of Faith Will Release Peace Out Of Your Spirit And Into Your Soul.

To Know And Experience What God Can Do, We Must First Realize And Acknowledge What We Cannot Do. We Must Get Our Eyes Off Of Ourselves And Our Limited Ability, And Totally Onto Him And His Infinite Power.

Our World Has Created A False Unrealistic Image Of What Women Are Supposed To Look Like And Act Like. But The Truth Is That Every Woman Was Not Created By God To Be Skinny, With A Flawless Complexion And Long Flowing Hair. Not Every Woman Was Intended To Juggle A Career As Well As All Of The Other Duties Of Being A Wife, Mother, Citizen, And Daughter. Single Women Should Not Be Made To Feel They Are Missing Somenthing Because They Are Not Married. Married Women Should Not Be Made To Feel They Must Have A Career To Be Complete. We Must Have The Freedom To Be Our Individual Selves.

I Never Get Tired Of Hearing The Great Testimonies Of People Whom God Has Touched. I Pray That The Changes God Has Done In Me Will Then Be Done In Others.

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.

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

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

The Best Way To Get Forgiveness Is To Give Forgiveness.

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

I Can Tell You From Experience That God's Help And Presence In Our Lives Is Vital. He Is The Author Of All True Success And Everything That Is Good-without Him, We Can Do Nothing Of True Value.

So Now, I Exhort You With This Truth: Don't Spend All Your Life Playing It Safe! Safety Is Very Comfortable, But It May Be Keeping You From God's Perfect Plan For Your Life.

Playing It Safe

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

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

The Devil Is A Peace Stealer, And He Works Hard To Set Us Up To Get Upset. But We Can Learn How To Change Our Approach So We Don't Live Upset All Of The Time. And Jesus Gives Us The Best Example To Follow.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don't Be Too Concerned About What Others Think Of You. It's What You Think About Yourself That Matters!

Our Feelings Are Unreliable And Cannot Be Trusted To Convey Truth.

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.

Much Of Everyday Life Is Filled With Opportunities To Be Distracted. Our Possessions... Entertainment... Cares And Anxieties... And Even The Passionate Desire And Pursuit Of Things, Some Good And Not So Good, Can Keep Our Minds And Hearts Caught Up In A Flurry Of Activity.

Passionate Desire

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.

When An Injustice Happens, We Want To Be Vindicated. People Feel That If They Forgive The Person Who Hurt Them, Then They Will Continue To Take Advantage Of Them Or Not Take Responsibility For What They Did Wrong. If We're Honest, We'll Admit That We Usually Want The Person Who Hurt Us To Pay For What They Did. We Can't Get Past This Until We Get The Revelation That Only God Can Pay Us Back. He Is Our Vindicator - He Will Heal And Restore Us If We Will Trust Him And Forgive Our Enemies As He Has Told Us To Do.

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.

We Cannot Control What Others Do To Us, But Through God We Can Control The Way We Respond To Them.

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

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.

I Believe That People Need To Get Their Worth And Value From Knowing That God Loves Them. I Believe That All Healing In Our Inner Man And Even, We Know Christ Also Heals People's Physical Diseases, But The Bible Says He Heals Our Wounds And Bruises. Don't Worry About What's Wrong With You Right Now, God Accepts You Just The Way You Are And He Will Help You Be What He Wants You To Be.

We Are Not Filled With The Spirit Of God To Do Easy Things. He Fills Us With His Spirit So We Can Do Impossible Things.

Impossible Things

Love Is And Has Always Been His Idea. He Came To Love Us And To Teach Us How To Love. When We Do This, Life Is Exciting, Beautiful And Rewarding.

God Is Able To Do Anything. All Things Are Possible With Him, But We Must Not Quit Praying.

The Devil Will Give Up When He Sees That You Are Not Going To Give In.

I Just Really Believe People Have To Get Hungry. I Think Maybe What We Need To Do, Instead Of Trying To Stuff Our Beliefs Down People's Throats, Is Just Pray For Them To Really Be Hungry And To See Their Neediness.

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.

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.

God Has Equipped You To Handle Difficult Things. In Fact, He Has Already Planted The Seeds Of Discipline And Self-control Inside You. You Just Have To Water Those Seeds With His Word To Make Them Grow!

You're Not Free, Unless You Come To The Place Where You Have Nothing To Prove.

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!

Everytime You Feed The Flesh, You Strenghten It. This Is Good If You Are Trying To Build A Good Habit, But Detrimental If You Are Trying To Stop A Bad Habit. The Way To "kill The Flesh" Is To Starve It; To Stop Feeding It.

We Need To Live The Life That We Say We Believe In.

It's Very Inexpensive To Give A Compliment.

When You're Hurt Very Badly In Your Childhood, The Area That It Has The Greatest Effect On Is Relationships. Once You Feel Like You Can't Trust People, Once You Feel Like That They Don't Care About You, That They're Really Not Going To Take Care Of You, It Gets Very Difficult In Relationships.

Because Of The Lingering Discrimination, Many Women Still Lack Confidence. They Live In Fear Of Stepping Beyond What They Feel Is Acceptable 'female' Behavior. I Can Remember Feeling That I Wasn't 'normal' Because I Was Aggressive, Had Dreams And Goals, And Wanted Do Do Great Things...i Am Glad Now That I Found Courage To Do Something Radical And Chase My Dreams.

God Works According To The Law Of Gradual Growth, So Don't Be Discouraged If Your Progress Seems Slow.

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

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

Purpose Of Life

You Can Control Yourself If You Really Want To. I'll Tell You How I Know You Can Control Yourself. 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.

Sometimes New Opportunity Means New Opposition. Not Everything God Asks Us To Do Will Be Comfortable.

Resist The Need To Be 'right' All The Time Or To Always Have The Last Word.

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.

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

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

Worry Is Like Rocking In A Rocking Chair All Day, Because It Keeps You Busy But Gets You Nowhere.

Go Beyond What You Feel Like Doing And Do What's Right. Every Time You Do What's Right When You Don't Feel Like It, You Are Growing.

Once I Realized That Right Thinking Is Vital To Victorious Living, I Got More Serious About Thinking About What I Was Thinking About, And Choosing My Thoughts Carefully.

Fear Will Try To Keep You From Taking That First Step. Don't Give In To Fear, Do It Afraid.

The Absence Of Pain Means Death, So When Something No Longer Bothers You, You've Died To That Thing.

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.

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

Born To Be Free

I Have Learned From Personal Experience That Putting Trust In God Means There Will Be Some Unanswered Questions. That Was A Hard Lesson For Me Because I Naturally Want To Understand Everything... To Know What's Going On So I Can Feel Like I'm In Control.

Unanswered Questions

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

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

God Isn't Keeping A Record Of Each Time We Fall, But He Is Excited About Our Progress, And We Should Be Excited, Too!

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

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.

If You Want To Live In The Fullness Of God's Anointing, Fill Your Mouth With His Word.

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

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.

Victory Is Not The Absence Of Problems, It Is The Presence Of Power.

Forward In Life

I Think We Need To Get Smart Enough To Do What's Going To Help Us And Not Just Continue To Do Things That Are Going To Hurt Us. It's Pretty Easy To Read Something Or Hear About It In A Message, But It's That Personal Application Of That Where It's Just You, God, And Your Problems, That Are Going To Give You The Power To Get Stronger And Stronger.

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.

Justified Means Just As If You've Never Sinned.

Regret Is Distress Over A Desire Unfulfilled Or An Action Performed Or Not Performed.

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.

Start Believing The Word Of God Over Our Feelings. The Truth Always Overrides Our Feelings. Find The Truth In The Scriptures.

Words Are Containers For Power

Addictions - Run To Jesus Instead Of Running To Your Addiction.
