We All Have Unfair Situations And Things We Don't Like. You Can Get Bitter, Discouraged And Sour, Or You Can See It As Fertilizer And Say, “ This Difficulty Is Not Going To Defeat Me; It's Going To Promote Me. It's Not Going To Hinder Me; It's Going To Help Me.” Don't Just Go Through It, Grow Through It.

More From Joel Osteen

Your Life Is Too Valuable To Waste Being Distracted.

I'm Trying To Make God More Relevant In Our Society. And I Think Talking In Everyday Terms And Making Sure People Can Understand It - I Think That's Important.

I'm Getting Better Every Day In Every Way.

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.

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.

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

If It’s Not Meeting A Need, Turn It Into A Seed. Remember, We Will Reap What We Sow. When You Do Good For Other People, That’s When God Is Going To Make Sure That His Abundant Blessings Overtake You.

I Feel Like What's Come Out Of Me Is The Gift God Has Given Me Just To Encourage People, To Help Them Know That There's A Better Life.

I Just Want To Continue To Grow And Be Open To What God Wants To Do. I Guess My Main Goal Is Just To Continue To Reach People The Best I Can, Hopefully Help Impact Their Lives And Just Change Culture For Better.

Every Setback Means You're One Step Closer To Seeing The Dream Come To Pass.

Just Because You’ve Come To A Dead End, It’s Not Time To Give Up. Find A Different Route And Keep Pressing Forward.

Act Like You're Blessed. Talk Like You're Blessed. Walk Like You're Blessed. Put Actions Behind Your Faith, And One Day You Will See It Become A Reality.

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.

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

You Don't Know Why God Has Put That Person In Your Path. It's Not A Coincidence. He's Strategically Lined Up Every Person, Every Detail And Every Step Of Your Life. Now Do Your Part--don't Miss An Opportunity To Do Good For Others.

When I Used To Play Sports, I'd Be The One Cheering The Team On, 'come On, We Can Beat These Guys!' That's Just In Me.

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.

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

When Things Are Difficult, Smile By Faith. Don't Wait Until You Feel Better.

I Believe God, Jesus, Died That We Not Just Go To Heaven But That We Excel In This Life. I Never Think You Make Money Your Goal... God Wants You To Excel. Just Keep Him In First Place, And God Will Open Up Doors You Never Dreamed Of.

God Didn't Create Any Of Us To Be Average. He Didn't Make Us To Barely Get By. We Were Created To Excel.

Be A People Builder. Look For Opportunities To Encourage Others To Bring Out The Best In Them.

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.

Don't Focus On The Good Old Days, Look Forward Towards The Good New Days.

I Don't Dislike Anybody.

We May Get Knocked Down On The Outside, But The Key To Living In Victory Is To Learn How To Get Up On The Inside.

It's Easy To See The Negative, But Every Person Has Something Great About Them. Develop A Habit Of Looking For The Good.

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

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.

Some Things You Can Only Learn In The Struggle. When It's Easy, When Everything Is Going Your Way, That Doesn't Take Any Faith.

I Don't Argue When People Say That My Message Is Simple, But I Believe Jesus' Message Was Simple.

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

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.

If You Don't Have The Gift Of A Loving Supportive Family, Be That Gift For Someone Else. It Doesn't Have To Be A Relative, Just Someone You Know Who Is Alone Or Hurting Over The Holiday.

Do Yourself A Favor; Don’t Wear Yourself Out Trying To Please Everybody. Your Time Is Too Valuable.

You'll Never Rise Any Higher Than The Way You See Yourself.

I Don't Go Down The Road Of Condemning.

Only God Can Look At Somebody's Heart.

When I Took Over From My Father, He Came From The Southern Baptist Background, And Back 40-50 Years Ago, There Was A Lot More Of That.i Don't Believe - Maybe It Was For A Time. But I Don't Have It In My Heart To Condemn People. I'm There To Encourage Them.

That’s Why It Is Important To Enjoy The Journey Not Just The Destination. In This World, We Will Never Arrive At A Place Where Everything Is Perfect And We Have No More Challenges. As Admirable As Setting Goals And Reaching Them Maybe, You Can’t Get So Focused On Accomplishing Your Goals That You Make The Mistake Of Not Enjoying Where You Are Right Now.

When You're Tempted To Be Upset, Ask Yourself 'is This Worth Giving Up My Joy?'

I Wouldn't Ever Say If You're Having Tough Times Then There Must Be Something Wrong With You Or Your Attitude. Life's A Fight. It's A Good Fight Of Faith. I Encourage People To Stay Up, Stay Hopeful, Stay Faith-filled.

Your Life May Have Taken A Detour, But God Is Still On The Throne. He Has Brought You This Far, And Sooner Or Later, Your Peace Will Be Restored.

I Don't Believe We Are Supposed To Go Through Life Defeated And Not Having Enough Money To Pay Our Bills Or Send Our Kids To College. When I Hear Some Of That, I Think That Is Not Who I Am, He Doesn't Know Me Or What I Teach. I Always Talk About God Rewards Obedience. When You Follow His Way, The Bible Says That His Blessings Will Chase You Down And Overtake You.

Your Situation May Look Impossible, But Don't Ever Rule Out The Favor Of God.

You're Going To Go Through Tough Times - That's Life. But I Say, 'nothing Happens To You, It Happens For You.' See The Positive In Negative Events.

The Truth Is, Somebody Is Always Talking About You, So You Have To Let It Go... If It's Not A Part Of Your God-given Destiny.

I Don't Want To Just Preach To The Church. I Feel Like I Have A Broader Message.

You May Be Sitting Around Waiting For God To Change Your Circumstances. Then You’re Going To Be Happy, Then Your’re Going To Have A Good Attitude, Then You’re Going To Give God Praise. But God Is Waiting On You To Get Up On The Inside. When You Do Your Part, He’ll Begin To Change Things And Work Supernaturally In Your Life.

If You Cannot Be Positive, Then At Least Be Quiet.

I'm A Reverend And A Pastor. A Pastor Of The Church. I Go By Usually Pastor.

I Believe That God's Dream Is That We Be Successful In Our Careers, And That We Be Able To Send Our Kids To College. I Don't Mean That Everyone Is Going To Be Rich, And I Preach A Lot On Blooming Where You're Planted. But I Don't Have The Mindset That Money Is A Bad Thing.

There Are A Lot Of Decisions We Pass Up On Because We Think, "you Know What? That's Just Going To Build - You Know, Maybe That's Going To Build Me And Not Build The Ministry And What I'm Trying To Do." So We Pass Up On A Lot Of Opportunities.

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

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

There's Pros And Cons Of A Big Church. Cons Is I Don't Get To Know Everybody, I Don't Get To Go To Their Ballgame, I Don't Get To Marry Everybody, But The Pros Are You Get All This Community, 800 Ushers Come In To Serve, Getting There At 7 In The Morning On Their Day Off And Coming In On Saturday To Make All Those Wafers.

When You're Blessed, The Haters Come Out. When You Wear God's Blessings Well, Don't Be Surprised If It Draws Jealousy Out On People.

You Don't Have To Live Up To Anyone's Expectations, Just Be The Best You Can Be

The People God Put In Your Life Are Not There By Accident. Don’t Get So Busy That You Just Give Them Your Leftover Time.

The Sad Truth Is, If You Push Hard Enough, And If You’re So Stubborn That You Must Have Things Your Way, God Will Sometimes Allow You To Undertake A Project Without His Blessing Or At The Wrong Time. The Problem With That, Of Course, Is When You Start Something In Your Own Strength And In Your Own Timing, You’re Going To Have To Finish It And Maintain It In Your Own Strength.

You Can Be In The Storm, But Don't Let The Storm Get In You.

Sometimes God Will Deliver You From The Fire, And Other Times God Will Make You Fireproof.

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.

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

I'm Not. I Don't – I Don't Dislike Anybody. Gays Are Some Of The Nicest, Kindest, Most Loving People In The World. But My Faith Is Based On What I Believe The Scripture Says, And That's The Way I Read The Scripture.

Bad Habits Are Easy To Develop But Difficult To Live With. Good Habits Are Difficult To Develop, But Easy To Live With. If You Are Willing To Be Uncomfortable For Little While, So You Can Press Past The Initial Pain Of Change, In The Long Run, Your Life Will Be Much Better.

Don't Settle In The Land Of Barely Enough. That Is Where You Are, It Is Not Who You Are. That's Your Location, It's Not Your Identity. No Matter What It Looks Like, Have An Abundant Mentality.

When You Face Difficult Times, Know That Challenges Are Not Sent To Destroy You. They're Sent To Promote, Increase And Strengthen You.

Marriage Is A Commitment, Not A Feeling.

Don't Get Stuck Where You Are, Keep Growing. It's A Decision You Have To Make Because It Is Easy To Get Stuck. Make A Decision To Develop Better Habits, To Have Better Relationships And Just To Keep The Enthusiasm For Life.

Enthusiasm For Life

Instead Of Telling God How Big Your Problems Are, Tell Your Problem How Big Your God Is.

Keep Honoring God With Your Life, Stay In Peace, Trust His Timing And God Will Open Doors That No Man Can Shut.

If You’re Going To Do Anything Great In Life, There Will Be Opposition, Setbacks, Delays And Critics. When You Have Big Dreams, You’re Going To Have Big Challenges.

You Will Never Change What You Tolerate.

You Need To Associate With People Who Inspire You, People That Challenge You To Raise Higher, People That Make You Better. Don't Waste Your Valuable Time With People That Are Not Adding To Your Growth. Your Destiny Is Too Important.

I'm Not Looking To Exclude People, I'm Looking To Include Them.

If You Think You’re Average, Then You’ll Be Average. If You Think You’re Ordinary, Then You’ll Live Ordinary. The Truth Is, There Is Nothing Ordinary About You. You Have Something To Offer That Nobody Else Can Offer.

No Matter What You've Gone Through In The Past, No Matter How Many Setbacks You've Suffered Or Who Or What Has Tried To Thwart Your Progress, Today Is A New Day, And God Wants To Do A New Thing In Your Life.

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.

If You Don't Let People Flourish In Their Jobs, Why Are They Going To Stay?

That's What I Feel Like I'm Called To Do - To Plant A Seed Of Hope In People's Hearts.

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.

No Matter How Many Mistakes You've Made In The Past, Or What Sort Of Difficulties You Struggle With Now, You Are Destined To Live In Victory.

We Keep A Lot Of Humor And Laughter In The Home. A Lot Of Times These Days, People Let The Stress Of Life Take The Joy From The Home. When You Can Laugh And You Can Have Joy, That's Very Healthy. Victoria Is Easy Going. She's Very Spontaneous And Fun. I Can Hear Her Laughter All Through The House. It Sets The Tone For The House. I Like Someone Who Can Laugh. The Second Thing Is Respect. We Just Do Our Best. We Don't Always Agree With Each Other But We Make The Decision That We Want To Treat Each Other With Respect.

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.

On Sundays When I Speak, I Hopefully Give Somebody Something That They Can Use The Next Day At Work Or At Home.

You've Got To Send Your Words Out In The Direction You Want Your Life To Go.

John Bunyan, Author Of The Classic Book The Pilgrim’s Progress, Said “you Have Not Lived Today Until You Have Done Something For Someone Who Cannot Pay You Back.” Make A Decision That You Will Live To Give. Be On The Lookout Each Day For Somebody You Can Bless. Don’t’ Live For Yourself; Learn To Give Yourself Away, And Your Life Will Make A Difference.

I Just Think That It's Strong And It's Important That We Recognize What The Christmas Season Is About; It's About The Birth Of Our Savior, And There's A Lot Of Pressure Today To Be Politically Correct ,but People Are Realizing, Too, That You Have To Be Open To Express Your Faith What You Want Believe.

I've Learned A Simple Principle: All I Have To Do Is Be The Best 'me' That I Can Be. One Day When I Read The Scripture About David, That He Fulfilled His Purpose For His Generation. I Knew God Spoke To Me.

Not Every Person Is Going To Understand You And That's Okay. They Have A Right To Their Opinion And You Have Every Right To Ignore It.

We Have To Remember, When We Forgive We're Not Doing It Just For The Other Person, We're Doing It For Our Own Good. When We Hold On To Unforgiveness And We Live With Grudges In Our Hearts, All We're Doing Is Building Walls Of Separation.

Don't Confuse Small With Insignificant.

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.

Instead Of Focusing On How Big Your Problems Are, Focus On How Big Your God Is! He Is Everything You Need. He Is The Great I Am, And He Is The One Leading And Guiding You Into Victory In Every Area Of Your Life!

I've Always Been Very Happy. I've Always Been Easy Going And I've Always Been Very Encouraging; It's Just My Personality.

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.

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.

I Don't Mind Saying, You Know, That I Don't Take A Salary From The Church, And God Has Blessed Me With More Money Than I Could Imagine From My Books.

Your Circumstances Will Line Up With Your Words. ... Words Are Like Seeds, They Have Creative Power. ... The More You Talk About It The More You Call It In. ... Your Words Will Give Life To What You Are Saying. ... You Can Change Your World By Simply Changing Your Words. ... You Can Use Your Words To Bless Your Life Or Curse Your Life.

I Didn't Try To Copy My Dad Or Fit Into The Pressure Or The Mold That Everybody Tried To Make Me Fit Into.

Invite Good Things Into Your Life. When You Confess Good Things Based On What God Is Saying, You'll Begin To See More Favor!

Your Life Will Follow Your Expectations. What You Expect Is What You Will Get. If You Dwell On Positive Thoughts, You Will Move In That Direction; If You Continually Think Negative Thoughts, You Will Live A Negative Life.

If You’re Controlled By Your Circumstances, Life Is Going To Be A Roller Coaster With Ups And Downs. God Wants You To Be Stable, Consistent, Not Moved By Any Of These Things. When You Face An Adversity, When You Hit A Tough Time, One Of The Best Things You Can Do Is Simply Stay Calm. Keep Your Peace.

Keep A Good Attitude And Do The Right Thing Even When It's Hard. When You Do That You Are Passing The Test. And God Promises You Your Marked Moments Are On Their Way.

Difficult Times Don't Come Your Way Just So You Can Survive Them; God Uses These Times In Your Life To Form And Refine You.

Difficult Times

I Think It's A Cop-out To Say I'm A Christian But I Don't Ever Do Anything...

No Matter How Dark It Looks, No Matter How Long It's Been, No Matter How Many People Are Trying To Push You Down; If You Will Stay In Faith, God Will Always Take You From Friday To Sunday. He Will Always Complete What He Started In You!

Our Whole Message Is It's Easy To Just Keep Preaching To The Church And People That Already Come.

Keep In Mind, Just Because You Don’t Know The Answer Doesn’t Mean That One Does Not Exist. You Simply Haven’t Discovered It Yet.

We Can All Control Our Own Destiny. And I Think Sometimes It's A Copout To Say, "well, It's This Person's Fault Or Another Person's Fault."

If You Feel "stuck" Today, You May Want To Examine What You're Holding On To. Be Willing Let Go Of Past Disappointments By Choosing Forgiveness. Who Hurt You? Who Wronged You? Release It To God. Do You Need To Forgive Yourself? Do You Need To Receive God's Forgiveness? Let Go Of The Past So You Can Overcome Disappointments And Experience The Bright Future God Has In Store For You! There Is Freedom In Forgetting!

Positive Thinking

If You Truly Want To Become A Better You, It Is Imperative That You Learn To Feel Good About Yourself.

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

Be The One To Stand Out In The Crowd.

Stand Out From The Crowd

God Never Promised That We Wouldn’t Have Challenges. In Fact, He Said Just The Opposite. His Word Says, ‘be Truly Glad!...these Trials Are Only To Test Your Faith, To See Whether Or Not It Is Strong And Pure…’ So If Your Faith Remains Strong After Being Tried In The Test Tube Of Fiery Trials, It Will Bring You Much Praise And Glory And Honor On The Day Of His Return.

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.

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

Quit Worrying About People That Are Trying To Hold You Back. God Knows How To Move The Wrong People Out Of Your Life And Bring The Right People In. He Knows How To Prepare You To Break Out.

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.

I Don't Focus On The Critics. Everyone Who Is Making Any Difference In Any Field Has Critics. As Long As I Feel Like I'm Doing What I'm Supposed To Be Doing, Then I Don't Worry About It.

Let's Be The Kind Of People That Do Good For Others Whether We Get Paid Back Or Not, Whether They Say Thank You Or Not.

Saying Thank You

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. My Friend Had A Production Studio Across Town, And We'd Go Over There At Night And Shoot And Edit. I Produced My Father's Televised Service For 17 Years.

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

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.

I Do Know This... I Seem To Reach A Lot Of Previously Unchurched People. So Many People Have Told Me They Never Went To Church Until They Heard Our Message Of Hope That God Is A Good God Who Desires To Bless Those Who Are Faithful And Obedient To Him Through Jesus Christ.

You Can Have Average Talent, But When God Breathes On Your Life, You Will Go Further Than People That Have Great Talent. Don't Talk Yourself Out Of It.

If Your Thinking Is Limited, Your Life Will Be Limited.

To Me, We're Marketing Hope.

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

Positive Attitude

God Is Preparing You For Greater Things. He's Going To Take You Further Than You Thought Possible, So Don't Be Surprised When He Asks You To Think Better Of Yourself And To Act Accordingly.

Let Go Of Yesterday. Let Today Be A New Beginning And Be The Best That You Can, And You'll Get To Where God Wants You To Be.

You Will Never Go Beyond The Barriers In Your Own Mind. If You Think You Can't Do Something, Then You Never Will.

Life Is Going By. Don't Waste A Minute Being Negative, Offended, Or Bitter. Choose To Be Happy.

So Many People Talk About Themselves: "i'm Unattractive, My Mind's So Slow, And I Can't Do This." And You Know What I Tell Them? "god Didn't Make A Mistake When He Made You. You Need To See Yourself As God Sees You."

The Facts May Tell You One Thing. But, God Is Not Limited By The Facts. Choose Faith In Spite Of The Facts.

Ask God To Give You The Strength To Endure, And Rest Assured, He Will Take Care Of You.

When We Don’t Forgive, We’re Not Hurting The Other Person. We’re Not Hurting The Company That Did Us Wrong. We’re Not Hurting God. We’re Only Hurting Ourselves.

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

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

It Is Your Choice To Be Happy. Make Up Your Mind To Enjoy This Day, To Have A Blessed, Prosperous, Victorious Year. You May Have Some Setbacks And Your Circumstances May Change, But Don't Let That Change Your Mind. Keep It Set On Happiness.

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

When You Are Grateful, That Allows God To Do Great Things In Your Life.

If You Start Praising Your Wife, If You Start Telling Her How Beautiful She Is, And How Glad You Are To Have Her In Your Life, When You Talk About The Good, You Will Draw Out The Good. If You Talk About The Negative, You'll Draw Out The Negative. It's Up To You.

I Know For Me, And What The Bible Teaches, I Want To Have A Relationship With Jesus.

Learn To Trust His Timing. Don't Get In A Hurry; Don't Grow Impatient; Don't Try To Force Doors Open. Don't Try To Make Things Happen In Your Own Strength. Let God Do It His Way.

Seeds Of Discouragement Cannot Take Root In A Grateful Heart.

I Believe That God Has Put Gifts And Talents And Ability On The Inside Of Every One Of Us. When You Develop That And You Believe In Yourself And You Believe That You're A Person Of Influence And A Person Of Purpose, I Believe You Can Rise Up Out Of Any Situation.

Gifts And Talents

When You Believe, It Activates God's Power.

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.

Change The Way You Speak About Yourself And You Can Change Your Life.

We Were Old Sinners - But When We Came To Christ We Are Not Sinners Anymore.

I'm Trying To Teach People How To Live Their Everyday Lives, And So I Do Focus On It, Probably Not As Much As Some People Would Like.

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

Failure Is An Event-it’s Not Who You Are. Don’t Let That Label Get Stuck On You. If One Dream Dies, Dream Another Dream.

No Matter What You’ve Been Through, No Matter What Others Might Have Thought About You...you Are Who God Says You Are. You Are Talented, You Are A Success, And You Are An Overcomer!

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

The Death Of My Father Is Probably The Biggest Thing That I Ever Faced. Daddy And I Were Best Friends.

God Loves To Use Ordinary People Just Like You And Me, Faults And All, To Do Extraordinary Things.

It Seems Like When I Was Growing Up There Was More Compromise, Wanting To Work With Each Other, And I Think All Of Them - All Of The Lawmakers - Have Hearts To Do What's Right, And They All Are Passionate About It.

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

I Encourage People In A Lot Of My Messages That You've Got To Make The Most Of Every Day.

I'm Going To Let God Be The Judge Of Who Goes To Heaven And Hell.

You Can’t Think Thoughts Of Mediocrity And Expect To Excel. The Two Don’t Go Together.

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. You Learn From Your Mistakes, But I Don't Think You Have To Drag Them Back Into Today.

I Realize That As Quick As You Go Up, You Can Really Come Down That Quick. And We've Seen It Happen With Others.

Believe That God Is In Control. There Is No Need To Be Stressed Out Or Worried

Your Destiny Is Too Great, Your Assignment Too Important, Your Time Too Valuable. Don't Let Fear Intimidate You.

Today, Use Your Words To Lift Up And Bless The People Around You.

Any Of Us Can Be Happy And Have A Good Attitude When Everything Is Going Our Way. But I Believe It's The Real Test Of Your Character And Of Your Faith To Say, Things Are Not Going Our Way, But I'm Still Being Good To People; I'm Still Attending Church; I Still Have A Good Attitude. I Think That's How You Pass Those Tests.

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?
