One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine..
Rewards await you if you stay steadfast in your faith.
If you can see the invisible, God will do the impossible.
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.
Jesus was saying that you can’t have a larger life with restricted attitudes.
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.
Don’t waste your time trying to win people over that can never be won over.
Satan knows, if you are against YOURSELF you will never fulfill your destiny. 🙁
You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. We were created to be victorious.
If you hold on to what you want so tightly, it almost becomes an idol.
Your job is not to judge. Your job is not to figure out if someone deserves something. Your job is to lift the fallen, to restore the broken, and to heal the hurting.
We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.
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.
People of excellence go the extra mile to do what’s right.
Don’t sit around depressed and discouraged. Get a new vision for your life.
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
Don’t do anything that you wouldn’t feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day.
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.
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.
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.
People in tough times – it doesn’t mean they don’t have a great attitude.
I don’t know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope.
You can change your world by changing your words… Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
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.
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.
I think faith is incredibly 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.
My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
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.
Why don’t you start believing that no matter what you have or haven’t done, that your best days are still out in front of you.
Sometimes we look back and 10 years from now we think, ‘Boy, those were great old days.’ Well, you know, we’re living in the good old days.
You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.
It’s amazing how people will give when you don’t ask. Many of them send money because they believe in the message.
We live in a day that nobody’s lived in before: where you can touch more people. The message I’ll speak tonight and the message that I speak at home, people in India will hear. It’s just an amazing day.
We were old sinners – but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.
People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.
God made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
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.
We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.
God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.
Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.
Sometimes God will deliver you from the fire, and other times God will make you fireproof.
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.
The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.
God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.
It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.
Let go of offence. Let go of fear. Let go of revenge. Don’t live angry, let go now!
I’ve never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I like to think my dad was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and hopeful. He was compassionate, and I’ve got a lot of that in me as well.
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.
God didn’t make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.
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.
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.
I don’t think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be.
I’m not for gay marriage, but I’m not for discriminating against people.
If you want to reap financial blessings, you have to sow financially.
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.
Most people already know what they’re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.
I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society.
When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.
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.
My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.
I didn’t try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.
