When You Honor God, The Storms May Come, But You Have A Promise That Others Don’t Have: When It’s All Said And Done, You’ll Still Be Standing. You May Suffer A Setback, But Don’t Get Discouraged. If You’ll Stay In Faith, God Promises That When The Smoke Clears, When The Dust Settles, You Won’t Be The Victim, You’ll Be The Victor.

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

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.

Gifts And Talents

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

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

You May Think There Is A Lot Wrong With You, But There Is Also A Lot Right With You.

If You Are Against Yourself, You Will Never Reach Your Highest Potential. And When You Criticize Yourself, You're Criticizing God.

Let Go Of Offence. Let Go Of Fear. Let Go Of Revenge. Don't Live Angry, Let Go Now!

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.

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

Keep In Mind, Hurting People Often Hurt Other People As A Result Of Their Own Pain. If Somebody Is Rude And Inconsiderate, You Can Almost Be Certain That They Have Some Unresolved Issues Inside. They Have Some Major Problems, Anger, Resentment, Or Some Heartache They Are Trying To Cope With Or Overcome.

It's Always Darkest Before The Dawn. The Bigger Your Challenge, The Closer You Are To Your Victory.

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

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

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.

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

No Matter What's Happening, Choose To Be Happy. Don't Focus On What's Wrong. Find Something Positive In Your Life. Thank God For The Small Things.

I Think Bible Principles Are Principles For Life.

We Never Like To Miss An Opportunity To Make Jesus The Lord Of Our Life.

I Believe This Is The Whole Key To Living Your Best Life, Living A Fulfilled Life Or Becoming A Better You.

There Are Times You Will Be Given Intuition, You Just Know Something, And You Can't Explain It. Don't Override It. Don't Talk Yourself Out Of It. That's The Creator Giving You Inside Information.

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!

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 Always Want To Listen To People And Receive Good Criticism, But I Just Don't Have To Answer To Them; I Have To Answer To God.

I'm Healthy As Can Be - Not An Ache Or A Pain. A Lot Of My Prayer Is Thanking The Lord That I Am Healthy. I Pray For Long Life And Good Health.

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

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

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.

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.

You Can’t Talk Mediocrity And Expect To Have Victory. You Are Prophesying Your Future. If You Want A Shift To Occur, You’ve Got To Think Positive.

God's Got You In The Palm Of His Hand. You Won't Leave One Second Before Your Time. If God Wants You To Be Here, Then You're Going To Be Here.

What You Keep Before Your Eyes Will Affect You.

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.

People Have The Right To Their Opinion And You Have The Right To Ignore It.

God Is A Good God, And That He's On Our Side, And That He Has Great Things In Store And I Believe That As We Receive The Forgiveness That Christ Came And Was Born And Died To Give Us, Then We Can Live A Great Life.

God Has Already Lined Up The Right People For You, People That Will Inspire You, Challenge You And Motivate You. If You’ll Let Go Of The Wrong People, Then The Right People Will Show Up.

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

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

Life Is Not Too Short... We Just Wait Too Long To Begin It.

You Can't Live A Positive Life Thinking Negative Thoughts. Dwell On The Positive.

To Me, It's Ok To Have Differences. But We Don't Have To Be Mad About It. You Know? And I Think That's Where Sometimes We Get So Passionate That We - You Know, It Turns Into Anger.

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

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

Don't Spend All Your Time Trying To Win Over Your Critics. Just Run Your Own Race.

Forgiveness Doesn't Mean That What That Person Did Was Right Or That You Even Have To Get Back Into A Relationship With That Person. Forgiveness Simply Releases The Debt They Owe You So That God Can Release The Debt You Owe Him. Ask The Lord To Search Your Heart And Show You If There Is Any Unforgiveness Blocking His Blessing In Your Life. Ask Him To Show You More About This Gift Of Forgiveness So That You Can Walk In The Freedom And Victory He Has For You Today.

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.

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

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

When You Honor God, The Storms May Come, But You Have A Promise That Others Don’t Have: When It’s All Said And Done, You’ll Still Be Standing. You May Suffer A Setback, But Don’t Get Discouraged. If You’ll Stay In Faith, God Promises That When The Smoke Clears, When The Dust Settles, You Won’t Be The Victim, You’ll Be The Victor.

God Didn't Make A Mistake When He Made You. You Need To See Yourself As God Sees You.

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

If We Don't Forgive Ourselves For Mistakes We've Made-and Everybody's Made Their Choices, Some Worse Than Others-we'll Never Experience The Good Life God Has In Store.

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

The Bible Says No Man Can Take Your Joy. That Means No Person Can Make You Live With A Negative Attitude. No Circumstance, No Adversity Can Force You To Live In Despair. As Eleanor Roosevelt, Wife Of Wheelchair-bound President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Often Said, ‘no One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent.

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

I'm Not A Big Believer In Trying To Jam Stuff Down Somebody's Throat: 'you're Going To Do It My Way.' I'd Rather Show By Example And Live My Life And Have People Say, 'you Know What, I Want To Live Like Joel Has. He's Got Peace And Joy, And He Seems Content.'

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.

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.

Your Idea May Not Be Exactly God's Idea, But I Can Promise You This: God's Way Will Be Better Than Your Way.

If You Will Focus On Meeting Other People’s Needs, God Will Always Make Sure Your Needs Are Supplied. God Will Take Care Of Your Problems For You.

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.

Don't Settle For Mediocrity; Never Let Good Enough Be Good Enough.

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.

Don't Think Small When You Pray. God Has A Way To Bring Your Dreams To Pass If You'll Dare To Be Bold Enough To Ask.

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.

What Others Say And Do Cannot Stop You From Fulfilling Your Destiny. Your Destiny Was Handed Down By Almighty God.

I'm Getting Better Every Day In Every Way.

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.

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.

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

I Think Faith Is Incredible Important Because You Will Become Overwhelmed With What's Happening And You Will Have Waves Of Grief, But When You Turn To Your Faith, I Believe God Will Give You Waves Of Grace To Get Through It.

People Respond When You Tell Them There Is A Great Future In Front Of You, You Can Leave Your Past Behind.

Your Time Is Too Valuable, Your Destiny Is Too Great, And Your Future Is Too Bright To Waste A Single Moment. Be A Now Person.

It's Our Faith That Activates The Power Of God.

I Feel Like My Message Is To Let People Know That God Is A Good God, That He's On Their Side, And No Matter What Happens, He Has A Great Plan For Them.

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.

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

If Your Dream Dies, Dream Another One. If Things Don't Work Out The Way You've Planned, God Has A Better Plan For You.

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.

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.

Love Overlooks A Person’s Faults. That’s Not Always Easy, But Love Believes The Best In Every Person. Anybody Can Return Evil For Evil, But God Wants His People To Help Heal Wounded Hearts.

The Older I Get, The Better I Understand That Every Day Is A Gift.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I Think The Word Rich Is All Relative.

When You Are Tempted To Get Discouraged, Remind Yourself That According To God’s Word, Your Future Is Getting Brighter; You Are On Your Way To A New Level Of Glory.

I Think The First Thing To Do Is To Be Aware That You Can Choose What You're Thinking About And That Your Life Is Going Down The Path That You're Thinking.

I Don't Really Know What The Prosperity Gospel Is. The Way I Define It Is That I Believe God Wants You To Prosper In Your Health, In Your Family, In Your Relationships, In Your Business, And In Your Career. So I Do ... If That Is The Prosperity Gospel, Then I Do Believe That.
