We Think When God Speaks To Us, There's Going To Be A Boom Out Of Heaven Or We're Going To Get Some Chill Bumps, But I Really Believe God's Talking To Us All The Time. He's Talking To Us Right In Here. I Call It Our Heart, Our Conscience, But It's The Holy Spirit Talking To Us.

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

Many People Are Unhappy And Are Not Experiencing Life To Its Fullest Because They’ve Closed Their Hearts To Compassion, They Are Motivated By Only What They Want And What They Think They Need. They Rarely Do Anything For Anybody Else Unless They Have An Ulterior Goal In Mind. They Are Self-involved And Self-centered.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Bible Talks About How God Uses Difficult Situations To Develop Our Character And Get Us Stronger. The Death Of My Father Is Probably The Biggest Thing That I Ever Faced. Daddy And I Were Best Friends. But Out Of That Darkness, Out Of That Disappointment In My Life, That's What God Used To Push Me Into Another Level Of Victory Or Another Level Of Ministry That I Never Knew I Had.

Many Times, We Miss Out On God's Best Because We Give Up Too Soon. We Don't Realize How Close We Are To Victory.

God Made Us For More Than Just Barely Getting By. We Weren't Meant To Sit On The Sidelines Of Life Because With God, We Are On The Winning Team!

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.

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

The Older I Get, The Better I Understand That Every Day Is A Gift. There's No Guarantee Of Tomorrow. And Part Of My Whole Philosophy Is: This Day Is Too Important To Live It Angry, Upset, Discouraged Or Stressed Out If Plans Don't Work Out. This Is Life, And I'm Going To Move On.

I Believe That When You Think Of The Negative, And You Get Up Discouraged - 'there's Nothing Good In My Future' - I Really Believe It Almost Ties The Hands Of God. God Works Where There's An Attitude Of Faith. I Believe Faith Is All About Hope.

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.

In Difficult Times, We're Not Supposed To Quit Believing; We're Not Supposed To Quit Growing.

It Takes The Same Amount Of Energy To Worry As It Does To Believe.

Let Go Of The Old, Take Hold Of The New And Believe That 2013 Will Be Your Best Year Yet!

I'm Trying To Throw A Big Broad Net To Try To Get People Interested In God And Believe That He's For Them And Has A Purpose.

Stop Focusing On What You Cant Do, Focus On What God Can Do.

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

God Wants You To Have A Good Life, A Life Filled With Love, Joy, Peace, And Fulfillment. That Doesn’t Mean It Will Always Be Easy, But It Does Mean That It Will Always Be Good.

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 Be So Shortsighted That If It Doesn't Happen Right Now, You're Not Going To Be Happy. You Are Sowing Seeds That Will Reap A Great Harvest For Generations To Come.

You Can Become All God Created You To Be Even If You've Had Difficulties, Even If You Weren't Born Into A Good, Loving Family, God Still Has A Plan For Your Life.

When We Focus On Or Disappointments , We Stop God From Ringing Fresh New Blessing Into Our Lives.

If You Will Lie About The Little Things, Before Long You’ll Lie About Bigger Things.

Send Your Life To A Whole New Level! Zip Up The Negative Words And Start Speaking Faith And Victory Into Your Future.

Take The Limits Off Of Yourself. You Will Never Rise Higher Than Your Thinking. Create A Great Vision For Your Life.

To Live Your Best Life Now, You Must Learn To Trust God’s Timing, You May Not Think He’s Working, But You Can Be Sure That Right Now, Behind The Scenes, God Is Arranging All The Pieces To Come Together To Work Out His Plan For Your Life.

I Believe God's Keeping The Records, And I Believe You Will Be Rewarded Even In This Life. Somehow, Some Way, God Will Make It Up To You. It May Be He Protected You From An Accident You Never Knew. You Can't Give God Something Without God Giving You More In Return, Whether It's Peace Or Joy Or Satisfaction.

Every One Of Us Has Secret Dreams And Desires Along With Seeds Of Greatness Implanted Within Us. You Too Have Gifts To Share With This World. There Is Buried Treasure Within You, Waiting To Be Discovered. Your Full Potential Has Not Been Released Yet. Your God-given Divine Destiny Awaits You.

You Can't Talk Defeat And Expect To Have Victory. You Can't Talk Lack And Expect To Have Abundance. You've Got To Send Your Words Out In The Direction You Want Your Life To Go.

I Like To Start My Day Off Every Morning, Take The First Half Hour And Just Search My Own Heart, See If I'm On The Right Course, Try To Be Honest With Myself - Am I Doing This For The Right Reasons?

Quit Worrying About How Everything Is Going To Turn Out. Live One Day At A Time; Better Yet, Make The Most Of This Moment.

There May Be Times When You Just Have To Love People From A Distance.

When You Stir Up The Passion, Your Faith Will Allow God To Do Amazing Things. If You Want To Remain Passionate, You Cannot Let What Once Was A Miracle Become Ordinary.

Bottom Line: God Will Not Allow Any Person To Keep You From Your Destiny. They May Be Bigger, Stronger, Or More Powerful, But God Knows How To Shift Things Around And Get You To Where You're Supposed To Be.

God Doesn't Ask You To Figure It All Out. He Only Asks You To Believe.

Be Careful What You Say. You Can Say Something Hurtful In Ten Seconds, But Ten Years Later, The Wounds Are Still There.

Don't Ever Say Anything Negative About Yourself.

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.

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

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 Be Intimidated By The Size Of Your Problem Or The Size Of Your Dream. God Will See To It That It Is Finished Completely.

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.

When You Acknowledge God, He Will Go Before You And Make The Crooked Places Straight.

A Grateful Heart Is Like A Sponge That Soaks Up God's Goodness.

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

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

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

It's In The Difficult Times That We're Growing And You Can't Just Rebuke Everything Hard. We've Got To Endure It And Fight The Good Fight Of Faith And Pass The Test.

Do Not Speak Defeat, Speak Victory.

God Planted A Dream In Your Heart For A Reason. No One Else Can Dream It For You. No One Else Will Accomplish It For You.

Most Of The Criticism I Get Is That I Am Too Positive And Too Hopeful... In My Words, I Don't Beat People Down Enough.

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

When You Get Up And Say, "god, I Want To Thank You For Being Alive, I've Got Family, I've Got My Health," You're Going To Draw In More Of The Good Things From God.

A Small Pot Boils Quick. You Can Tell Much About The Depth Of One's Character By How Quickly He 'boils'.

Make Up Your Mind That No Matter What Comes Your Way, No Matter How Difficult, No Matter How Unfair, You Will Do More Than Simply Survive. You Will Thrive In Spite Of It.

You Don't Have To Tell People What They're Doing Wrong. They Already Know. Your Job Is To Love Them.

Take Time To Make A Difference. Don't Just Obsess About How You Can Make Your Life Better. Think About How You Can Make Somebody Else's Life Better As Well.

Making A Difference

It's God's Will For You To Live In Prosperity Instead Of Poverty. It's God's Will For You To Pay Your Bills And Not Be In Debt.

God Doesn’t Care What You’re Not. He Cares Who You Are. You Are His, You Come From The Master, And When He Adds His Extra To Your Ordinary And His Super To Your Natural, Nothing Is Impossible For You.

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 Nobody Else Celebrates You, Learn To Celebrate Yourself. When Nobody Else Compliments You, Then Compliment Yourself. It's Not Up To Other People To Keep You Encouraged. It's Up To You. Encouragement Should Come From The Inside.

Compliments You

Opposition Is Not There To Stop You, It’s There To Establish You.

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!

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 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.

Men, Learn To Speak Blessings Over Your Wife And You Will See That Woman Rise To A New Level. She Will Respond To Your Praise And Encouragement. Your Words Don't Have To Be Poetic, Fancy, Or Profound. Tell Her Simply But Sincerely, "you're A Great Mother To Our Children. And You Are A Great Wife To Me. I'm So Glad I Can Always Count On You."

When You Give Up Yourself, That's When You Will Feel The True Spirit Of Christmas. And That's Giving That's Serving Others And That's When You Feel Fulfilled.

What You Expect Is What You Will Get.

Other People's Opinions Do Not Determine Your Potential.

You Don't Have To Fight Every Battle. You Don't Have To Respond To Every Critic. You Don't Have To Be Offended Because Of What Others Say. You Can Rise Above These Things And Soar.

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.

Sometimes You Have To Smile By Faith. If You'll Smile By Faith, Soon The Joy Will Follow.

You Can Live A Good Life No Matter What's Happened To You. And So I Don't Know. I Know There Is Condemnation, But I Don't Feel That's My Place.

We Live In A Society That Likes To Kick People When They’re Down. Don’t Be A Fair-weather Friend. Stick With People. They Need You More In The Tough Times Than They Do In The Good Times.

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

When My Father Died, It Sounds Kind Of Simple But I Just Had The Desire To Step Up And Pastor The Church. It Was What I Was Supposed To Do. I Just Took That Step Of Faith.

Don’t Fall In Love With The Blessings. Fall In Love With The Blessor. Seek First The Kingdom & God Will Reward You!

Falling In Love

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.

If Prosperity Means God Wants Us To Be Blessed And Healthy And Have Good Relationships Then Yes, I'm A Prosperity Teacher. But If It's About Money, No, I Never Preach About Money. I Probably Stay Away From It More Than Normal Because Televangelists Get A Bad Name. People Put Me In That Category Because I Do Believe That God Does Want Us To Be Happy, Healthy, And Whole.

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.

I Am The Sum Total Of What I Have Been Confessing Through The Years.

Through The Years

The Dream In Your Heart May Be Bigger Than The Environment In Which You Find Yourself. Sometimes You Have To Get Out Of That Environment In Order To See Your Dream Fulfilled.

Your Thoughts About Your Circumstances Have You Down. On The Other Hand, You Can Be In One Of The Biggest Battles Of Your Life, And Still Be Filled With Joy And Peace And Victory - If You Simply Learn How To Choose The Right Thought. It’s Time To Think About What You’re Thinking About.

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.

I Believe The Scripture Says That Being Gay Is A Sin.

No Matter How Dark And Gloomy It Looks In Your Life Right Now, If You'll Release The Weight Of Those Burdens, You Will See The Sun Break Forth.

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.

A Lot Of Churches Have Not Moved With The Times.

We Never Like To Miss An Opportunity To Make Jesus The Lord Of Our Life. That's Why I Never Like To Have A Service Without Giving An Invitation Or Writing A Book, Without Giving An Invitation And Presenting That Truth. I Believe This Is The Whole Key To Living Your Best Life, Living A Fulfilled Life Or Becoming A Better You.

Faith Is Not In Your Head. Faith Is In Your Heart. Sometimes You Have To Turn Your Mind Off And Listen To Your Heart.

A Lot Of Psychological Principles And Even Medical Principles, You See Them Coming Around To What The Bible Said Hundreds Of Years Ago: A Merry Heart Is Good Like A Medicine.

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

Selfishness Is Weakness. But Loving And Caring For Others Is A Position Of Power Beyond Anything We Can Possibly Imagine.

You Know What? I'm Not Going To Beat Myself Up. I Did The Best I Can Do, And So I'm Going To Believe That - I'm Going To Believe Good Things About Myself.

You Can Be Happy Where You Are.

You Cannot Let Where You Are Today Cause You To Get Stuck. I'm Going To Be My Best Right Now. That's What Faith Is All About.

Happiness Is Always A Choice. You Can't Wait For Circumstances To Get Better. You Have To Create Your Own Good Fortune. So Look For Ways To Be Happy Every Day.

Positive Thinking

Life Is Flying By. You Don't Have Time To Waste Another Minute Being Negative, Offended Or Bitter. If Someone Did You Wrong, Get Over It And Move Forward.

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.

Whether A Person Is Straight Or Gay, Republican, Democrat, Good Person, Not A Good Person, They're All Welcome, Because To Me, Church Is A Place You're Supposed To Get Healed And Whole And Loved.

If You Give, You Will Be Blessed.

I'm Honest Enough To Say I Don't Know Everything. You Know, I Don't. I Don't Understand All Of God. I Don't Understand, You Know, Some Kind Of Why Bad Things Happen.

God Has Already Done Everything He's Going To Do. The Ball Is Now In Your Court. If You Want Success, If You Want Wisdom, If You Want To Be Prosperous And Healthy, You're Going To Have To Do More Than Meditate And Believe; You Must Boldly Declare Words Of Faith And Victory Over Yourself And Your Family.

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