If You’re Not Seeing God Move In Your Life Right Now, One Of Two Possibilities Must Be Considered. Either Your Requests Are Not God’s Best And Will Probably Not Be Answered The Way You’d Like Or It Must Not Be The Right Time. If God Were To Answer That Prayer The Way You Are Hoping, It Could Interfere With His Ideal Plan For You.

I’m Straining Forward, Knowing That God Has Great Things In Store For Me.

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

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.

Rest Of Your Life

If You Have A Big Challenge Today, That Just Means You Have A Big Destiny.

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

You Must Quit Looking At What You Don’t Have And Start Believing That All Things Are Possible.

Sometimes What We Think Is A Disappointment, Is Really God Getting Us In Position To Go To A New Level.

Positive Attitude

I Believe If You Keep Your Faith, You Keep Your Trust, You Keep The Right Attitude, If You're Grateful, You'll See God Open Up New Doors.

Make Up Your Mind That No Matter What Comes Your Way, No Matter How Difficult, No Matter How Unfair, You Will Do More Than Simply Survive. You Will Thrive In Spite Of It.

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.'

Faith Doesn't Always Instantly Deliver You, But It Always Carries You Through.

What You Keep Before Your Eyes Will Affect You.

God Will Not Pour Fresh, Creative Ideas And Blessing Into Old Attitudes.

Some People Keep God In A Sunday Morning Box And Say, 'hey, I Did My Religious Duty.' That's Fine, But The Scripture Says To Pray Without Ceasing. And I Think That Means All Through The Day You're Talking To God. Even If It's In Your Thoughts.

I Don't Dislike Anybody.

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.

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 Think The People Already Know What They're Doing Wrong, And I Certainly Believe In Hell. But To Me, When I See Thousands Of People Before Me, It Just Doesn't Come Out Of Me To Say, 'you Guys Are Terrible, And You're Going To Hell.' I'd Rather Say That God Is A God Of Mercy. You've Got To Live An Obedient Life, But For Every Mistake You've Made, There's Mercy There, And I Believe We Can Do Better.

I Just Wanted To Get The Message That God Had Put Into My Heart Into Another Form, Because I Knew The Print Media Would Reach A Different Group Of People.

God Planted A Dream In Your Heart For A Reason. No One Else Can Dream It For You. No One Else Will Accomplish It For You.

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.

I'm Not Leading Them To Some False God Or Something Like That.

You Didn't Just Show Up On Planet Earth By Accident.. You Were Handpicked By Almighty God.

If You Can See The Invisible, God Will Do The Impossible.

The Power To See Change In Your Life Can Be Found In The Words You Speak. You Have The Power To Set The Destiny For Your Life By What Comes Out Of Your Mouth.

Words You Speak

I Don't Think That A Same-sex Marriage Is The Way God Intended It To Be.

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.

Psalm 34 Says, 'those Who Trust In The Lord Will Never Lack Any Good Thing.' This Means If You Don't Have It Right Now, You Don't Need It Right Now. Our Attitude Should Be, 'i'm Equipped, Empowered And Anointed For This Moment. I Am Not Lacking, Shortchanged Or Inadequate. I Have What I Need For Today.'

Salvation And Christ's Love Is A Gift. You Don't Earn It. You've Got To Receive That Gift. I Think One Of The Most Important Things Is Starting Off The Day Forgiving Others And Forgiving Yourself. You Learn From Your Mistakes, But I Don't Think You Have To Drag Them Back Into Today.

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.

Don't Grow Accustomed To Living With Less, Doing Less, And Being Less To The Point That You Eventually Sit Back And Accept It.

God Doesn’t Care What You’re Not. He Cares Who You Are. You Are His, You Come From The Master, And When He Adds His Extra To Your Ordinary And His Super To Your Natural, Nothing Is Impossible For You.

You Can Be Happy Where You Are.

Stones Of Judgment, Discouragement Or Doubt May Be Thrown At You. You Can't Stop Them, But You Can Make The Choice To Keep Your Walls Up And Not Let Them Affect You.

God Would Not Have Put A Dream In Your Heart If He Had Not Already Given You Everything You Need To Fulfill It.

You Don't Have To Have A Great Gift For God To Use It In A Great Way.

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.

If You Will Keep Being Your Best Right Where You Are, You Will Come Into More Favor, Promotion And Opportunity Than You Ever Imagined.

Start Believing Bigger, Dreaming Bigger & Expecting Bigger.

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.

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

I Think, For Years, People Have Been Pushed Down By Religion, And I Don't Say That Disrespectfully, But They've Been Shown A God That You Can't Measure Up To.

If You Cannot Get Along With Yourself, You'll Never Be Able To Get Along With Other People.

You Have Greatness In You. The Key Is To Get It Out.

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.

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

Prospering Just Doesn't Have To Do With Money.

Most Of The Criticism I Get Is That I Am Too Positive And Too Hopeful... In My Words, I Don't Beat People Down Enough.

What You Expect Is What You Will Get.

Check Your Spiritual Birth Certificate, You Were Made In The Mighty Image Of God.

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.

Sometimes, I Think If You Get Away From What You're Called To Do, It's More Of A Distraction.

If We Say It Long Enough Eventually We're Going To Reap A Harvest. We're Going To Get Exactly What We're Saying.

Self Empowerment

If You'll Spend Time Praying For People Instead Of Talking About Them, You'll Get Better Results.

Forgiveness Is A Choice, But It Is Not An Option.

My Parents Were The Same In The Pulpit As They Were At Home. I Think That's Where A Lot Of Preachers' Kids Get Off Base Sometimes. Because They Don't See The Same Things At Both Places.

If You Want To Be Happy, You Have To Be Happy On Purpose. When You Wake Up, You Can't Just Wait To See What Kind Of Day You'll Have. You Have To Decide What Kind Of Day You'll Have.

Positive Thinking

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.

I Don't Think It's That Hard [to Lead A Christian Life]. To Me It's Fun. We Have Joy And Happiness.

I Want Get Across To Not Just The Church World. I Want To Get Outside Those Walls To Everyday People.

Do All You Can To Make Your Dreams Come True.

Dreams Come True

Keep Doing The Right. God Is Building Character In You, And You Are Passing That Test. Remember, The Greater The Struggle, The Greater The Reward.

Life Begins Each Morning.

I'm Not Trying To Follow A Set Of Rules And Stuff. I'm Just Living My Life.

You Will Never Rise Above The Image You Have Of Yourself In Your Own Mind.

If One Dream Dies, Dream Another Dream. If You Get Knocked Down, Get Back Up And Go Again.

When You Acknowledge God, He Will Go Before You And Make The Crooked Places Straight.

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

We Have To Realize That Our Lives Could Be Gone In A Moment. There Are No Guarantees That We Will Be Here At This Time Next Year. Learn To Live Each Day To The Fullest. Don't Complain. Don't Focus On What's Wrong. Be Grateful For The Opportunity To Experience Each Day.

God Wants To Use You In Spite Of Your Weaknesses. Of God Chose To Use Perfect People Only, He’d Have No One To Use

If You Never Feel Like Giving Up, Then Your Dreams Are Too Small

It's Amazing How People Will Give When You Don't Ask. Many Of Them Send Money Because They Believe In The Message.

Be Sensitive To The Needs Of Those Around You. Live As A Healer. Lift The Fallen, Restore The Broken, And Encourage The Discouraged.

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.

You Spend Your Time Like You Spend Money. You Can Waste It Or Invest It.

See, People Are Watching You. Especially Your Children. They're Taking In Every Single Thing You Do. They Are Like Video Cameras With Legs. And They Are Always In The Record Mode. They Learn More From What You Do Than From What You Say.

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.

I Do Think That Religion Has Turned A Lot Of People Off. Part Of It Is Because It Was All About The Rules And Was Political. I Think Now People Have A Hunger For God, They Want To Have A Relationship, But They Don't Want To Be Called Religious. I'm Not Trying To Get Them To Join My Religion, I'm Just Trying To Plant A Seed Of Hope In Their Heart.

Don't Live Worried, Frustrated Or Upset Because Of What Somebody Did Or What Didn't Work Out. Come Back To A Place Of Peace. It's Not Going To Work Against You; It's Going To Work For You.

I Feel Like When I Stay Focused On Encouraging People, And Giving Them Hope, And Helping Them Live Their Everyday Life, I Think That's Where I Can Have The Most Impact.
