Doubt is a lack of confidence or assurance that God will keep his promises. Faith is an active confidence that God's promises are always true.

When we get bumped - we spill what we are full of - Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Don't lean on your own understanding. If your trust in God is limited by your understanding of His ways, you will always have a limited trust.

Take a deep breath and take this to heart; God has nothing to do with broken promises. When He says, I promise, mark it down it's going to happen.

All I can say is Bishop Jakes would not currently accept the designation of Prosperity Preacher or Word of Faith Preacher as an accurate description of what he believes currently. Now his ministry will have to bear that out. I'm not here to defend him or stick up for his various errors. And I don't want to minimize error that is significant. All I'm saying is that he, as of two weeks ago, would not accept those terms, in private conversation, as accurate descriptors of what he believes.

The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you've got to believe them and live by them.

God's not afraid of a mess. He wants to do a cleaning.
