Don’t Talk About The Way You Are. Talk About The Way You Want To Be.

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.'

My Core Message Is That God Has Got A Good Plan For Your Lives, And We Must Trust Him, And Let Go Of The Past. That's My Main Message.

When God Puts Love And Compassion In Your Heart Toward Someone, He’s Offering You An Opportunity To Make A Difference In That Person’s Life. You Must Learn To Follow That Love. Don’t Ignore It. Act On It. Somebody Needs What You Have.

In My Early Teens, I Knew I Wanted To Do Television Production. I Loved Cameras, Editing And Producing, Anything That Had To Do With Television Production.

Through The Years

It Is A Hard Thing To Let Go Of Mistakes We've Made And Sins. God Wants Us To Do That Because He Knows The Guilt And The Condemnation Will Keep Us From Becoming Who He Has Created Us To Be. 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.

It’s Vital That You Accept Yourself And Learn To Be Happy With Who God Made You To Be. If You Want To Truly Enjoy Your Life, You Must Be At Peace With Yourself.

Accepting Yourself

I Preach That Anybody Can Improve Their Lives. I Think God Wants Us To Be Prosperous. I Think He Wants Us To Be Happy. To Me, You Need To Have Money To Pay Your Bills. I Think God Wants Us To Send Our Kids To College. I Think He Wants Us To Be A Blessing To Other People. But I Don't Think I'd Say God Wants Us To Be Rich. It's All Relative, Isn't It?

If You Know You Have To Wait Anyway, Why Not Make A Decision To Enjoy Your Life While You’re Waiting? Why Not Be Happy While God Is In The Process Of Changing Things?

I Want To Challenge You Today To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone. You Have So Much Incredible Potential On The Inside. God Has Put Gifts And Talents In You That You Probably Don't Know Anything About.

Gifts And Talents

Let's Start Affecting Our Whole City, And Maybe We Can Affect The Whole Nation, The Whole World. I'd Like To Affect It With The Fact That God Is A Good God And He's On Your Side And He's Got A Good Plan For You And When You Put Your Hand In His, Great Things Can Happen.

Every Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback!

I Don't Think You Should Spend Your Life Praying For Things, But I Do Believe You Should Thank God For What He's Given You... But I Think The Scripture Teaches Us That We Can Pray For Our Dreams, Pray For The Big Things... He's Not A Small God; This God Is Incredible.

Sometimes What Works 40 Years Ago Doesn't Work Today.

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.

Life Is Short. Don't Miss Opportunities To Spend Time With The People That You Love.

It May Look Impossible, But God Can Do The Impossible. Just Because You Don’t See Anything Happening Doesn’t Mean God Is Not Working

People Are Skeptical Of Many Televangelists, And I'm Sensitive To That.

You Will Never Change What You Tolerate.

What You Expect Is What You Will Get.

You Can Take Pride In Yourself Without Comparing Yourself To Anybody Else. If You Run Your Race And Be The Best That You Can Be, Then You Can Feel Good About Yourself.

The Great News Is That God Knows Everything About You, Both Good And Bad, And He Still Loves You And Values You Unconditionally. God Does Not Always Approve Of Our Behavior. He Is Not Pleased When We Go Against His Will, And When We Do, We Always Suffer The Consequences And Have To Work With Him To Correct Our Thoughts, Words, Actions, Or Attitudes. And While You Should Work To Improve In The Areas Where You Fall Short, Nothing You Do Will Ever Cause God To Love You Less…or More. His Love Is A Constant You Can Depend On.

Closed Doors Are A Test Of Our Faith. Keep Moving Forward, Being Your Best, Living With Determination And Faith. When You Do, You'll See Amazing Changes All Around You.

Any Of Us Can Be Happy And Have A Good Attitude When Everything Is Going Our Way.

I Think That's How You Pass Those Tests.

I Made A Decision When My Father Passed Away That I Was Going To Be Who God Made Me To Be And Not Try To Preach Like My Father.

There Are Some Things You Can Only Learn In A Storm.

God Knows The Dreams And Desires In Your Heart; In Fact, He Gave Them To You. He Will Order Your Steps And Take You Where You Need To Be.

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'm Not Perfect, But I Think That I've Done Good To Stay Focused On What I'm Called To Do.

It's Amazing What People Will Do When You See The Best In Them, When You Honor Them, When You Respect Them. It Not Only Strengthens The Relationship, But It Will Help That Other Person Rise Higher.

When You Focus On Being A Blessing, God Makes Sure That You Are Always Blessed In Abundance.

Focus And Concentration

You Have A Destiny To Fulfill, Something Greater Than You've Ever Even Imagined. But If You're Going To Become All You Were Created To Be, You've Got To Take Off The “average” Label.

Sometimes In Life, A Fog Sets In And You Don't Know Which Way Is The Right Direction. Every Voice May Tell You It's Not Going To Happen, But God Has Placed A Promise In Your Heart. Refuse To Listen To Those Voices. Keep Believing.

You Have To Come To Your Closed Doors Before You Get To Your Open Doors... What If You Knew You Had To Go Through 32 Closed Doors Before You Got To Your Open Door? Well, Then You'd Come To Closed Door Number Eight And You'd Think, 'great, I Got Another One Out Of The Way'... Keep Moving Forward.

When Someone Is Rude, Keep A Smile On Your Face. When You Stay On The High Road.

Sometimes Nothing But Faith In God And Say, I Refuse To Be Trapped In The Past. I’m Not Going To Let The Past Destroy My Future. I’m Pressing On. I’m Straining Forward, Knowing That God Has Great Things In Store For Me.

I Try To Look On All The Great Things God's Done, And Not Focus On The Negative. It's A Perspective.

Replace Those Thoughts Of Worry With Thoughts Of Hope, Faith, And Victory.

Heavenly Father, Thank You For Your Peace That Rules My Heart. I Choose Your Peace Today And Thank You For Guiding My Every Step. I Choose To Be Thankful Today And Bless You For Your Faithfulness. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Certainly There Are Times In All Of Our Lives When Bad Things Happen, Or Things Don’t Turn Out As We Had Hoped. But That’s When We We Must A Decision That We’re Going To Be Happy Inspite Of Our Circumstances.

When Bad Things Happen

What You Believe Has A Much Greater Impact On Your Life Than What Anybody Else Believes.

Don’t Allow Negative People To Steal Your Joy. When You Lose Your Joy, You Lose Your Strength.

There's A Belief That You're Supposed To Be Poor, And Suffering, And Show Your Humility. I Just Don't See The Bible That Way. I See That God Came And Jesus Died So That We Might Live An Abundant Life And Be A Blessing To Others.

You Have To Come To Your Closed Doors Before You Come To Your Open Doors

Christmas Is The Perfect Time To Celebrate The Love Of God And Family And To Create Memories That Will Last Forever. Jesus Is God's Perfect, Indescribable Gift. The Amazing Thing Is That Not Only Are We Able To Receive This Gift, But We Are Able To Share It With Others On Christmas And Every Other Day Of The Year.

When You Face Adversity, You Need To Remind Yourself That Whatever Is Trying To Defeat You Could Very Well Be What God Will Use To Promote You.

My Belief As A Christian Is When We Receive Christ As Salvation, That That Gives Us A Guarantee For Heaven.

You May Think You’re Getting The Short End Of The Stick, But When It’s All Said And Done, God Will Make Sure That You Don’t Lose Anything Truly Valuable. Moreover, He’ll Make Sure You Get Your Just Reward. Your Responsibility Is To Remain Calm And Peaceable Even When Those Around You Are Not.

God Has Destined You To Soar. You Have Victory, Freedom And Excellence On The Inside.

If You Can Be A Blessing To Somebody Else, You're Sowing A Seed For God To Help You.

Don't Pick On Your Sister When She's Holding A Baseball Bat.

When You Reach Out To Hurting People, That’s When God Is Going To Make Sure Your Needs Are Supplied. When You Focus On Being A Blessing, God Makes Sure That You Are Always Blessed In Abundance.

You Have To Accept The Fact That Some People Are Never Going To Be For You. Treat Them With Respect, But You Don’t Need Their Approval To Fulfill Your Destiny.

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 Are A Person Of Destiny. You Are Not Here By Accident. There Is No Obstacle Too Big, No Dream You Can't Accomplish.

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

God's Way Is Better Than Your Way. His Plan Is Bigger Than Your Plan. His Dream For Your Life Is More Rewarding, More Fulfilling, Better Than You've Ever Dreamed Of. Now Stay Open And Let God Do It His Way.
