The Main Rule To Me Is To Honor God With Your Life. To Live A Life Of Integrity. Not Be Selfish. You Know, Help Others. But That's Really The Essence Of The Christian Faith.

Too Often We Judge People Based On Our Own Backgrounds And Experiences, But When You Understand People's Stories, It's Easier To Understand Their Demeanor.

Maybe You’ve Invested A Lot Of Time, Effort, Money, Emotion, And Energy In A Relationship; You Did Your Best To Make It Work Out. But For Some Reason, Things Got Off Course. And Now You Feel As Though You Have Been Robbed. When We Focus On Or Disappointments, We Stop God From Ringing Fresh New Blessing Into Our Lives.

Don't Focus On What's Wrong. Things May Not Be Perfect, But Be Grateful For The Opportunity To Experience Each Day. Live Each Day Like It Could Be Your Last.

We Live In A Culture That Relishes Tearing Others Down. It's Ultimately More Fulfilling, Though, To Help People Reach Their Goals. Instead Of Feeling Jealous, Remember: If God Did It For Them, He Can Do It For You.

You Need To Follow Your Own Heart In Light Of God’s Word And Do What You Feel Is Right And Good For You.

People Can Call You Many Different Things, But You Are Not What People Call You. You Are What You Answer To.

Hold On To That New, Enlarge Vision Of Victory That God Has Given You. Start Expecting Things To Change In Your Favor. Dare To Boldly Declare That You Are Standing Strong Against The Forces Of Darkness.

You Have To Learn To Follow Your Heart. You Can’t Let Other People Pressure You Into Being Something That You’re Not. If You Want God’s Favor In Your Life, You Must Be The Person He Made You To Be, Not The Person Your Boss Wants You To Be, Not Even The Person Your Parents Or Your Husband Wants You To Be. You Can’t Let Outside Expectations Keep You From Following Your Own Heart.

When The Negative Thoughts Come - And They Will; They Come To All Of Us - It's Not Enough To Just Not Dwell On It... You've Got To Replace It With A Positive Thought.

Positive Thoughts

At This Very Moment, God’s Working Behind The Scenes In Your Life, Arranging Things In Your Favor. Stay In Faith!

If You Want To Rear Financial Blessings, You Have To Sow Financially.

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

We're Going To Bring Our Core Message Of Hope And How God Is A Good God Who's On Our Side.

Sometimes We Focus On The Mess Or The Broken Dream, But In All The Mess God Sees Greatness. He Knows How To Take Your Troubles And Turn Them Into Trophies, How To Take The Test And Make It Your Testimony.

I Think Bible Principles Are Principles For Life.

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. If You Will Work With God And Keep A Good Attitude, Then No Matter What Comes Against You, The Bible Says That All Things – Not Just The Good Things In Life, But All Things – Work Together For Your Good.

Sometimes We Look At Gay Being A Bigger Sin Than Being Proud Or Not Telling The Truth. I Don't Think God Categorizes Sins.

God Wants To Increase You Financially, By Giving You Promotions, Fresh Ideas And Creativity

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

Positive Attitude

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

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

I Would Rather Believe For Something Great And Receive Half Of It, Than To Believe For Nothing And Receive All Of It!

To Become A Better You, You Must Be Positive Towards Yourself, Develop Better Relationships, Embrace The Place Where You Are.

You're Not Responsible For Somebody Else's Happiness. You're Responsible For Your Own Happiness.

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.

You Were Created To Excel. There’s No Limit To How High You Can Go In Life. Keep Stretching To The Next Level.

Instead Of Talking Yourself Out Of Your Future Start Talking Yourself Into It.

Make The Decision And Say, "i'm Not Letting That Worry In. I'm Done Being Upset When My Plans Don't Work Out. I'm Not Letting That Stress In." Negative Thoughts Will Still Come To Your Mind, But You Don't Have To Let Them Into Your Spirit.

Listen Carefully To The Words And Tone Of Voice You Use With Your Spouse. Are You Complaining All The Time And Telling Her What She's Not Doing Right? Or Are You Doing Like Solomon-blessing, Encouraging, And Uplifting That Woman?

It's Easy To Get Negative Because You Get Beat Down. You Go Through A Few Disappointments And It's Easy To Stay In That Negative Frame Of Mind. Choosing To Be Positive And Having A Grateful Attitude Is A Whole Cliche, But Your Attitude Is Going To Determine How You're Going To Live Your Life.

A Lot Of People Have It A Lot Worse Than You Do.

Do Not Speak Defeat, Speak Victory.

There Is A Place That God Has Specifically Designed For You Where All Your Needs Will Be Supplied, Where You'll Be Happy And Fulfilled, And Where You'll Be Using Your Gifts And Talents To The Full.

Gifts And Talents

You Can Change Your World By Changing Your Words... Remember, Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue.

We Minister The Word Of God. The Proclamation Of The Gospel Comes After Individuals Have Opened Their Hearts To God And Turned From Themselves To Others. Only Then Are They Truly Ready To Hear And Benefit Fully From The Word Of The Lord.

I Spent A Lot Of Time In India With My Father. I Don't Know All About Their Religion. But I Know They Love God. And I Don't Know. I've Seen Their Sincerity.

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

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

I Have Always Believed. I Grew Up, You Know, My Parents Were A Good Christian People. They Showed Us Love In The Home.

You Words Affect Generations After You. Speak Blessings And Favor Over Them.

Quit Worrying About How Everything Is Going To Turn Out. Live One Day At A Time; Better Yet, Make The Most Of This Moment. It’s Good To Have A Big – Picture Outlook, To Set Goals, To Establish Budgets And Make Plans, But If You’re Always Living In The Future, You’re Never Really Enjoying The Present In The Way God Wants You To.

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

No Matter How Many Times You Get Knocked Down, Keep Getting Back Up. God Sees Your Resolve. He Sees Your Determination. And When You Do Everything You Can Do, That’s When God Will Step In And Do What You Can’t Do.

Getting Back Up

I'm Very Careful About Saying Who Would And Wouldn't Go To Heaven. I Don't Know.

I Don't Know What Can Be So Dangerous About Giving People Hope. Causing People To Have Better Relationships. I'm Not Leading Them To Some False God Or Something Like That.

You Cannot Expect Victory And Plan For Defeat.

We Are Set In Our Ways, Bound By Our Perspectives And Stuck In Our Thinking.

See, When You Drive Home Today, You've Got A Big Windshield On The Front Of Your Car. And You've Got A Little Bitty Rearview Mirror. And The Reason The Windshield Is So Large And The Rearview Mirror Is So Small Is Because What's Happened In Your Past Is Not Near As Important As What's In Your Future.

Sometimes You Have To Put Your Own Dreams On Hold Temporarily So You Can Help Release A Dream In Somebody Else. What You Make Happen For Others, God Will Make Happen For You.

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 Knows Your Value; He Sees Your Potential. You May Not Understand Everything You Are Going Through Right Now. But Hold Your Head Up High, Knowing That God Is In Control And He Has A Great Plan And Purpose For Your Life.

Nothing In Life Has Happened To You, It's Happened For You!

No Matter How Long It's Been, No Matter How Impossible It Looks, If You'll Stay In Faith, Your Time Is Coming.
