Praying is what confirms our true belief that we cannot succeed without God, and its absence confirms the exact opposite.

You'll face overwhelming odds; you'll be incredibly outnumbered. Fear would be your natural inclination. But keep in mind, God is with you.

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

Only when we have done all we knew to do can we wait by faith for God to do what only He can do.

When it's personal and painful, humble yourself.

It doesn't matter what has happened, better things are coming. God's plan produces hope in me.

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.
