Nobody Likes To Have Trouble. The Moment We Get A Hint That It's Coming, A Common Response Is, 'oh No! Not Again!'

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.

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 Never Promised Us A Trouble-free Life.

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

Enjoy Your Life

If God Can't Get You To Obey Him Concerning Your Money, He Won't Get To Anything Else You Got.

My Father Was A Negative Person. He Actually Taught Me To Be Negative, If That Makes Any Sense. I Remember Him Saying: 'you Know There's No Point In Expecting Anything Good To Happen Because It Won't.' I Grew Up In Such A Negative Atmosphere.

So Much Of What We Do Every Single Day Is The Result Of Habits That We Have Formed Over Time.

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.

The Holy Spirit Showed Me That When I Put Up Walls To Keep Others Out I Also Wall Myself Into Solitary Place Of Confinement.

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

The First Step To Forgiveness Is The Desire To Do It, No Matter How You Feel Toward The Person Who Hurt You. Then You Make The Decision To Do It Which Means It's A Firm Decision That Won't Change When Your Feelings Change. The Next Step Is To Depend On The Holy Spirit To Help You Do What You've Decided To Do.

If You Want To Give The Devil A Nervous Breakdown, Just Get Up Every Day And See How Much Good You Can Do.

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!

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.

Grace Keeps Us From Worrying Because Worry Deals With The Past, While Grace Deals With The Present And Future.

You Have So Many Capabilities & Potential. Start Celebrating The Life God Has Given You!

Don't Just Let The Devil Use Your Mind As A Garbage Dump.

Make Sure You Are Doing What Is Important To God-not Just What Is Important To Everyone Else You Know.

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

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.

If You Will Stop Feeding Your Feelings, Then They Will Stop Controlling You.

When You Begin To Worry, Go Find Something To Do. Get Busy Being A Blessing To Someone; Do Something Fruitful. Talking About Your Problem Or Sitting Alone, Thinking About It, Does No Good; It Serves Only To Make You Miserable. Above All Else, Remember That Worrying Is Totally Useless. Worrying Will Not Solve Your Problem.

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

I Always Asked For Forgiveness For My Sins Right Away But I Never Accepted It Until I Felt Right That I Had Suffered Enough To Pay For It. God Revealed To Me What I Was Doing How Much Unnecessary Pain I Was Causing Myself. He Even Showed Me That What I Was Doing Was An Insult To Jesus That In Essence I Was Saying Lord The Sacrifice Of Your Life And Blood Was Good But Not Good Enough. I Must Add My Work Of Feeling Guilty Before I Can Be Forgiven.

No Matter How Much We Know In Any Area There Are Always New Things To Learn And Things We Have Previously Learned That We Need To Be Refreshed In.

Our Words Will Either Bring Life And Victory Or Death And Destruction. If We Want To Be Happy, We Have To Be Serious About Speaking Words Of Life That Line Up With God's Word.

Worry And Reasoning Are Two Of Satan's Most Successful Tools. He'll Get Us Started With One Negative Thought And Then Sit Back And Watch Us Finish Ourselves Off.

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.

At School I Pretended I Had A Normal Life, But I Felt Lonely All The Time And Different From Everyone Else. I Never Felt Like I Fit In, And I Wasn't Allowed To Participate In After-school Activities, Go To Sports Events Or Parties Or Date Boys. Many Times I Had To Make Up Stories About Why I Couldn't Do Anything With My Classmates.

Unconditional Love

If Your Inner Life Is Not Producing What You Would Like On The Outside, Don't Be Discouraged... Just Be Willing To Change.

Willing To Change

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.

There’s No Such Thing As Trust Unless You Have Unanswered Questions In Your Life. If You Know Everything, Theres Nothing To Trust God For.

Unanswered Questions

I Like To Work And Am A Focused Person.

When We Believe The Best Of People, We Let Go Of Each Thing They Do That Is Hurtful To Us. And We Choose To Think Things Like, 'i Don't Believe They Meant To Hurt Me.' 'maybe They're Having A Bad Day Or Don't Feel Well.' 'they Probably Don't Even Realize How They Sound.'

Although God Loves Us Unconditionally, He Does Get Angry At Sin, Wickedness And Evil. But He Is Not An Angry God. God Hates Sin, But He Loves Sinners! He Will Never Approve Of Sin In Your Life, But He Always Loves You And Wants To Work With You To Make Progress In Living A Holy Life In Christ.

God Will Help You Be All You Can Be, But He Will Never Let You Be Successful At Becoming Someone Else.

I Learned That What Happened To Me Did Not Have To Define Who I Was. My Past Could Not Control My Future Unless I Allowed It To.

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.

The Flesh, Or Human Nature, Is Generally Lazy And Self-centered.

The Term Revolution Means: A Sudden, Radical, And Complete Change From The Way Things Are Normally Done. I Love That Definition Because I Really Feel That In Order For Us To Start Walking In The Kind Of Love That Christ Commanded Us To - The "love Your Neighbor As Yourself" Kind - It's Going To Take A Radical Change In Our Current Behavior. The Church Has Become Passive And Selfish And It's Going To Take A Revolution To Get Us Back To The Place Where We Are Not Just Talking The Talk, But Walking In A Love That Shows The World Christ's Love.

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

We Open The Door For God To Work By Placing Faith In His Word, And We Open The Door For Satan To Work By Placing Faith In His Word. He Places Thought In Our Minds That Are Not True, But Can Become True For Us If They Are Believed.

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.

Come To Me All Who Are Weary And Heavy Burden.." Go To The Throne, Not The Phone. The People On The Other End Aren't Qualified To Fix Your Problems, They Don't Know What They're Doing Either!!! ~ -joyce Meyers

I Can't Very Well Be Teaching One Way And Living My Life Another Way. What I Do In Life Must Be Consistent With The Things I Say. And The Same Goes For You.

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.

I Think There's More Women That Watch Me Than Men, But I Don't Look At Myself As Just A Minister To Women. My Ministry Began That Way, But I Really Feel Like The Word Of God Is For Everybody.

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.

Ask God For Help. Don't Think That You Can Handle This Yourself.

Love Is Not Talk Or Theory; It's Action. In Fact The Bible Says That We Cannot Be Walking In Love If We See A Brother In Need, Have What It Takes To Meet His Need, And Will Not Do Anything To Help Him.

Sometime We Get So Addicted To Murmuring About The Past And Blaming The Past For Everything That We Miss Our Whole Future. You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Future, And You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Right Now, If All You Can Do Is Be Guilty And Ashamed And Afraid Of Your Past.

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

Grace Equals Ability. God Gives Us Grace To Match Our Call. When We Do Our Own Thing, We Do It On Our Own. When We Follow His Leading, He Always Supplies The Grace And The Energy To Do What He's Calling Us To Do.

No Matter What You’re Going Through There's No Pit So Deep That God Can’t Reach In And Get You Out.

Faith Means That You Have Peace Even When You Dont Have All The Answers.

Forgiveness Is Manifested Mercy; It Is Live In Action - Not Love Based On A Feeling, But Love Based On A Decision, An Intentional Choice To Obey God.

Spending Time With God Through Prayer And His Word Is A Prerequisite For Having A Great Life And Fulfilling Your Purpose.

As Believers, Our Joy And Peace Are Not Based In Doing And Achieving, But In Believing. Joy And Peace Come As A Result Of Building Our Relationship With The Lord.

Everything We Do Is To Be Offered To The Lord; And If Done So With A Pure Heart Of Love, It Becomes Holy.

Complaining Is Dangerous Business. It Can Damage Or Even Destroy Your Relationship With God, Your Relationships With Other People, And Even With Your Relationship With Yourself.

Relationships With Others

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.

Wisdom Is Exercised In The Choices You Make.

Choices You Make

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.

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

Satan Wants Us To Constantly Focus On Everything That Is Wrong With Us And Look At How Far We Still Have To Go. But God Desires For Us To Rejoice In How Far We Have Already Come.

In Fact, It's Good. It's Just That Doing Them In God's Power Is The Only Way Those Things Will Have Any Real And Lasting Effect In Our Lives.

Pride Is An Independent, Me-oriented Spirit. It Makes People Arrogant, Rude And Hard To Get Along With. When Our Heart Is Prideful, We Don't Give God The Credit And We Mistreat People, Looking Down On Them And Thinking We Deserve What We Have.

You Can Think Whatever You Want To And Laugh, But I Believe If I Would Have Never Learned To Put My Stuff Back On The Right Grocery Store Shelves, And I Would Have Never Learned To Put My Cart Back Where God Told Me To, I Don't Believe I Would Be Standing Here Today Preaching This Message To You.

You Can Become So Manipulated And Controlled By What You Think Other People Expect You To Do That You Literally Live Under The Tyranny Of Other People's Expectations.
