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.
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.
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.
Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, is really God getting us in position to go to a new level.
Do yourself a favor; don’t wear yourself out trying to please everybody. Your time is too valuable.
If you think your obstacles are too big, they will be. Don’t set limits on your life with your thinking.
Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He'd leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there.
Nobody owes me anything. I am not at a disadvantage. I am equipped, empowered, and anointed.
Nothing in life has happened to you, it's happened FOR You!
When God puts something in your heart and deep down you know it’s a destiny moment, don’t wait for ten confirmations. Do what God is asking you to do now.
It's better to become who God created you to be than to try to promote yourself to become something you're not.
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.
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.
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
