I Think That Bible Principles Will Help Anybody.

I Try To Teach People That I Believe God Wants Us To Be Positive Toward Ourselves, Meaning That, You Know What, I Like The Way I Look, I Like The Way I Sound, I'm Happy With What I'm Doing In My Career - And Not Always Be Beating Ourselves Down.

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

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.

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

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

You Are A Person Of Destiny. You Are Not Here By Accident. There Is No Obstacle Too Big, No Dream You Can't Accomplish.

Your Job Isn't To Judge. - Your Job Isn't To Figure Out If Someone Deserves Something Or Decide Who Is Right Or Wrong. - Your Job Is To Lift The Fallen, Restore The Broken, And Heal The Hurting.

Seeds Of Discouragement Cannot Take Root In A Grateful Heart.

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

You Don't Need Everyone To Help You. You Just Need One Touch Of Favor, And You Will Accomplish In A Split Second What Could Have Taken Your Whole Lifetime.

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.

When I Hear Mitt Romney Say That He Believes That Jesus Is The Son Of God, That He's The Christ, Raised From The Dead, That He's His Savior - That's Good Enough For Me.

Psalm 34 Says, 'those Who Trust In The Lord Will Never Lack Any Good Thing.' This Means If You Don't Have It Right Now, You Don't Need It Right Now. Our Attitude Should Be, 'i'm Equipped, Empowered And Anointed For This Moment. I Am Not Lacking, Shortchanged Or Inadequate. I Have What I Need For Today.'

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

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.

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

He Is Still In Control. He Still Has You In The Palm Of His Hand.

You Were Not Created To Just Get By With An Average, Unrewarding, Or Unfulfilling Life. God Created You To Leave Your Mark On This Generation.

This Generation

Do Not Speak Defeat, Speak Victory.

It’s Not Always Easy To Get Over Some Of Those Bumps In The Road, Those Disillusionments And Disappointments. It’s Going To Take A Strong Will. Sometimes, It May Take Courage. Sometimes Nothing But Faith In God And Say, I Refuse To Be Trapped In The Past. I’m Not Going To Let The Past Destroy My Future. I’m Pressing On. I’m Straining Forward, Knowing That God Has Great Things In Store For Me.

When You Center Life Around Yourself, Not Only Do You Miss Out On God's Best, But You Rob Other People Of The Joy And Blessings That God Wants To Give Them Through You.

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.

If You Have Your Health, If You Have People In Your Life To Love, You Are Blessed. Slow Down And Enjoy The Simple Things In Life.

A Good Thing To Remember Is Somebody's Got It A Lot Worse Than We Do.

Positive Thinking

When It's All Said And Done, You May Go Through The Fire, Through The Flood, Through The Famine, But You'll Come Out Standing Strong.

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

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.

Be A Victor , Not A Victim.

I'm Trying To Make God More Relevant In Our Society.

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

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.

I'm Not The Judge. You Know, God Didn't Tell Me To Go Around Judging Everybody.

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.

God Never Said That We Wouldn’t Have Unfair Situations, That We Wouldn’t Experience Loss. But He Promised If We Would Stay In Faith, He Would Restore Everything That Was Stolen.

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 Must Forgive The People Who Hurt You So You Can Get Out Of Prison. You'll Never Be Free Until You Do. Let Go Of Hose Wrongs They've Done To You. Get That Bitterness Out Of Your Life. That's The Only Way You're Going To Truly Be Free. You Will Be Amazed At What Can Happen In Your Life When You Release All That Poison.

God's Dream Is That You Have An Abundance, That You Be Totally Out Of Debt, Pay Your House Off, Pay Your Credit Cards Off, And Have So Much Overflow That You Can Be A Blessing To Everyone Around You!

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

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.

I Purposely Don't Talk About Money, Because People Are Already Skeptical About Tv Preachers. But I Do Say That I Want You To Be Blessed. To Me, Prosperity Is Having Health, Having Great Children, Having Peace, Good Relationships. It's Not About The Money.

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.

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

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've Got To Believe That God Is In Control Of Your Life. It May Be A Tough Time But You've Got To Believe That God Has A Reason For It And He's Going To Make Everything Good.

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

Sometimes You Need Faith And Victory Spoken Over Your Life. Words Have Created Power. When You Receive Them Into Your Spirit, They Can Ignite Seeds Of Increase On The Inside.

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.

A Disagreement Or Incident Involving Someone Who's Not That Important To You, Like A Guy Who Cut You Off In Traffic Or A Rude Cashier, Is Something That Should Roll Off Your Shoulders. Save The Effort For Resolving Conflicts With The People You Cherish.

I Think The Word Rich Is All Relative.

We Don't Have To Talk About Faith And Family At Dinner-we Just Show It.

Faith And Family

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.'

Don't Use Your Faith To Try To Get Rid Of Problems. Use Your Faith To Remain Calm In The Midst Of Your Problems.

Hard Times May Have Held You Down, But They Will Not Last Forever. When All Is Said And Done, You Will Be Increased.

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.

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.

We’re Not Always Going To Be Here. Live Life To The Full, With Purpose & Passion, Pursuing Your Dreams.

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.

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