You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
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.
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.
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.
No matter how dark it looks, no matter how long it's been, no matter how many people are trying to push you down; if you will stay in faith, God will always take you from Friday to Sunday. He will always complete what He started in you!
Resist discouragement by speaking His Word over your future. Keep standing. Keep hoping; keep believing because He is working behind the scenes. He's going to accelerate your times and lead you into the life of victory He has for you.
God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
I'm not leading them to some false God or something like that.
God's used me to help turn their life around or give them hope, you know? It's very rewarding
I think we use God's word. I think the principles that you hear Dr. Phil and some of those others talk about many times are right out of the Bible.
Faith is all about trusting God even when you don't understand His plan.
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.
I believe God will fight my battles for me.
My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.
