Keep Walking The Walk, One Step At A Time.

One Step At A Time

Food Is Not The Problem. It's What We Do With Food That Becomes The Problem. That's Why We Need To Learn To Keep Everything In Our Lives - Especially Our Eating - In Proper Balance.

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

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

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.

God Not Only Sees Where You Are, He Sees Where You Can Be.

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.

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.

Don't Miss Out On Today By Living In Yesterday.

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.

Nobody Can Be Set Free From A Problem Until They're Willing To Admit They Have One.

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

I Think A Lot Of People Believe That They Have To Be Poor To Serve God, That They Can't Have Anything. They Don't Really Even Know How To Give. And One Of The Main Principles In The Bible Is You'll Reap What You Sew, And That If You Give Into The Lives Of Others, That It Shall Be Given Back To You, Good Measure, Pressed Down And Shaken Together. If You Go Plant One Tomato Seed, You Don't Get Back One Tomato; You Get A Vine Of Tomatoes.

Do You Feel Disappointed Because Something You Planned Didn’t Work Out If So You Can Get Re-appointed Today. In God There Are Never Any Dead-ends Only Detours. Don’t Ever Give Up. Just Keep Trying Until You Succeed.

Here’s One Of My Favorite Statements: We Are Never Going To Enjoy Stability, We Are Never Going To Enjoy Spiritual Maturity Until We Learn How To Do What’s Right When It Feels Wrong, And Every Time You Do What’s Right By A Decision Of Your Will Using Discipline And Self Control To Go Beyond How You Feel, The More Painful It Is In Your Flesh, The More You’re Growing Spiritually At That Particular Moment.

You Are Not Hopeless. You Are Not Helpless. Because There Is A God Who Is Alive And Loves You!

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.

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

There Are No Drive-thru Breakthroughs. Breakthroughs Take Time.

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

Be A Blessing To Someone Else.

If You Want To Have Sustained Joy, You Have To Not Only Make Sure That You Think Right, But You Also Have To Make Decisions Now That Are Going To Guarantee Some Joy In The Future.

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.

Don't Do What's Right To Get Something. Do The Right Thing Because It's The Right Thing.

One Day, The Idea That God Loved Me Dropped From My Head Into My Heart.

Be It Unto You, Even As You Believe. In God's Economy, We Believe First And Then See.

When It Comes To Our Everyday Habits, It's Important To Ask: 'am I Putting God First?'

In Christ, It's Never Too Late, You're Never Too Old... It's Never "too Anything" For Him To Work Positive Change In Your Life.

A Lot Of Times, 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.

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

Give Him Your Mess And Let It Become Your Message.

Stop Determining Your Worth And Value By What Other People Say. Be Determined By What The Word Of God (scriptures)says.

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

If We Spend Enough Time With God, He'll Either Make Us Strong Enough That Problems Won't Bother Us, Or He'll Show Us What To Do About Them.

There's A Deceptive Sin That Can Keep Us From Walking In Love: Pride. It's Deceptive Because When You Have Pride, You're Usually Too Proud To Admit It. I Know This Because I Used To Have Teachings On Pride And They Didn't Sell Well.

Don't Ever Be Discouraged With Yourself Because You Have Not Arrived At Success, But Instead Be Pleased That You Are Pressing Toward It.

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

Once We Know The Word Of God, We Have A Responsibility To Be Obedient To It.

As A Global Society, We Do Not Have To Agree, Endorse Or Condone The Lifestyle Choices Of Others. However, History Has Taught Us That We Equally Cannot And Should Not Excuse Those Who Would Hide Behind Religion Or Misuse God's Word To Justify Bigotry And Persecution.

Lifestyle Choices

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.

The Simple Power Of Prayer Can Save Us All Kinds Of Time And Trouble If We Will Ask God To Give Us Wisdom And Discernment In Our Relationships.

Until We Accept And Approve Of Ourselves, No Amount Of Approval From Others Will Keep Us Permanently Secure.

People Always Want To Know How You Know. And Knowing In Your Heart Is Very Hard To Describe. I Think So Often, We're Trying To Understand Something With Our Mind. But, Actually, The Bible Teaches Us That Much Of What God Does In Our Life Will Be Difficult To Understand With The Mind.

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.

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.

Early On In My Life, I Had A Broken Soul. I Was Abused By My Father, Abandoned By My Mother And Ended Up In A Destructive First Marriage. By The Time I Was 23, I Was Broken In My Soul. I Didn't Know How To Think Right. I Felt Wrong About Everything. But God Stepped Into My Life, And I Came Out On The Other Side And Didn't Even Smell Like Smoke.

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

Purpose Of Life

One Of The Best Aids To Freedom Is Asking God For A Lot Of Help-and Asking Often.

God's Grace Will Never Be Available To You To Become Another Person. He Created To Be You - The Best "you" You Can Be! Forget About Trying To Be Someone Else.

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

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.

I Firmly Believe That Usually, The Person Who Hurt You Doesn't Realize What They've Done Or How Much It Hurt You. So, Continue To Pray For The Person Or Situation That Caused Your Pain And Anger. Ask God To Give You Understanding About Why They Did What They Did.

Learning To Live For Others Isn't Something That Just Comes Naturally To Anybody. You Have To Train Yourself To Do It.

Live For Others

God Is Not There Just For Emergencies.

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. Pray For People And Bless Them. Grow To The Point That One Of Your First Thoughts Each Morning In Your Heart Is About How You Can Bless Someone Else That Day.

It's So Easy To Settle For Less Than God's Best For Us Because We Don't Always Feel Like Taking Responsibility For Our Behavior Or Putting Forth Some Effort To Do What We Need To Do So We Can Accomplish Great Things For God And Help People.

You Would Be Better Off Having Nobody Than The Wrong Somebody. (on Marrying For The Wrong Reasons.)

Where There Is No Opposition To Evil, It Multiplies.

I Encourage You To Deliberately Look For Something To Smile Or Laugh About Every Day, And Be Sure To Share A Smile Or A Laugh With Someone Else And Brighten Their Day Too!

We're Not Like Robots. God Promises To Guide Us Through The Holy Spirit, But He Gives Us The Freedom To Make Our Own Decisions.

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

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.

When You Focus On How Wonderful God Is And All The Great Things He's Done... Is Doing... And Even Will Do In Your Life, Your Natural Response Will Be Praise, Adoration And Awe. Don't Let Yourself Ever Get Used To It... Stay Amazed!

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

You Can't Enjoy Your Life If You Don't Enjoy Yourself.

Enjoy Your Life

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

It's Like A Jar Of Salad Dressing Sitting On A Shelf... Most Of The Seasoning Settles To The Bottom Of The Bottle.

If We Didn't Struggle Through Some Things, We Would Never Develop The Strength And Stamina We Need To Survive In This World.

God Is The Champion At Bringing People From A Place Of Destruction To A Place Of Total Victory. As They Reach That Place Of Victory They Become Trophies Of His Grace. And They Are Set On The Display As A Fragrant Reminder Of God's Goodness.

How One Life Turns Out Is Not Dependent On What People Do To Us Or What They Don't Do For Us.

Faith Is Not The Price That Buys God's Blessing, It Is The Hand That Receives His Blessing. The Price Was Paid For Us By Jesus Christ On The Cross

Excellence - Take What You Have And Do The Best With It.

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

Our Problems Are God's Opportunities.

I Was Afraid To Let Other Make Any Decisions, Because I Had No Confidence They Would Be Concerned For Me.

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.

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.

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.

It's Amazing What We Lose In Life By Listening To Fear, Instead Of Listening To God.

Listening To God

I'm Sure Most Parents Read To Their Children To Explain What Certain Things Mean. So Books Are A Good Way To Convey A Message To Anybody. Everybody Reads.

Loving People Is The Highest Level Of Spiritual Warfare That We Could Ever Do

I Didn't Really Understand The Importance Of Little Things. I Didn't Really Understand That It Was The Little Foxes That Spoil The Vine. And If We're Not Faithful In Little Things, That God Will Never Be Able To Make Us Ruler Over Great Things.

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

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?

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

Satan Will Battle You With Doubt And Unbelief, But God Has Victory Waiting For You If You'll Keep Trusting And Believing Him.

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.

Peter Was The Only One Who Walked On Water Besides Jesus, But He Was Also The Only One Who Got Out Of The Boat. Until You Make A Decision To Believe, And Then Act On It, Nothing Will Happen.

Forgiveness Is Not A Feeling - It's A Decision We Make Because We Want To Do What's Right Before God. It's A Quality Decision That Won't Be Easy And It May Take Time To Get Through The Process, Depending On The Severity Of The Offense.

Decisions We Make

I've Been So Mistreated By Male Authority In My Life That I Had A Terrible Time In My Marriage Trying To Be A Submissive Wife. I Wanted To Rule The Roost In Everything. And It Wasn't Even Really That I Was Rebellious; I Was Afraid Of Being Hurt. And I Think That A Lot Of People That Choose These Alternative Lifestyles, I Think It's Because They've Been Hurt Somewhere Along The Line Very Badly.

You Will Never Enjoy Life If You Do Not Enjoy Yourself.

Pray About Everything And Worry About Nothing. You Will Enjoy Life Much More.

If Selfishness Is The Key To Being Miserable, Then Selflessness Must Be The Key To Being Happy!

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.

One Of The Best Gifts We Can Give Ourselves Is Time Alone With God.

Today Is A Brand New Beginning For Me!

If You Are Tired Of Living On The Beaten Path That Everyone Else Walks, Venture Into The Woods. Some People Would Be Afraid They Would Get Lost, But A Confident Woman Expects To Have A New Experience That Might Be Outrageously Wonderful.

New Experiences

Even Though God Loves Us, We Still Have A Problem: Sin. It's Important For Us To Learn How To Confront Sin And Overcome It, Because While God Loves Sinners, He Hates Sin. And He Hates It Because Of What It Does To Us And How It Keeps Us From The Abundant Life Jesus Died To Give Us.

You Can Enjoy Anything If You Make Up Your Mind To.

Did You Know There's A Difference Between Being Busy And Being Fruitful? Did You Ever Stop To Think That Just Being Busy - Running Around In Circles All Day But Not Accomplishing Anything - Is The Same As Wasting Your Time? It's Frustrating To Expend So Much Energy And Time And Not Have Any Fruit From Your Effort!

Faith Is A Decision We Make About Where We Are Going To Put Our Trust.

Decisions We Make

People Often Ask Me How I Keep My Priorities Straight In Life And I Tell Them That It Is Done By Constantly Straightening Them Out!

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

God Plants Dreams In People's Hearts. But Many People Do Not Continue All The Way To The End In Order To Follow Him To The Fulfillment Of That Dream.

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

Each Time We Act To Improve The Life Of Another Person, We Send Forth A Ripple Of Hope In What Appears To Be A Hopeless Society.

I Got Kicked Out Of My Church And Lost All Of My Friends, But I Realized That I Had To Obey God And Not Man.

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.

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

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.

God Doesn't Do Good Things For Us Because We Are Good And We Deserve Them. He Does Good Things For Us Because He Is Good And Loves Us.

Don't Judge Other People. For Example, If You Want God's Anointing To Be On You For Parenting, You Need To Be Careful Not To Criticize Other Parents.

If Someone Decides They're Not Going To Be Happy, It's Not Your Problem. You Don't Have To Spend Your Time And Energy Trying To Cheer Up Someone Who Has Already Decided To Stay In A Bad Mood. Believe It Or Not, You Can Actually Hurt People By Playing Into Their Self-pity.

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.

Faith Is Powerful Spiritual Dynamic, And It Is Something God Responds To And Blesses.
