Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.

Sometimes you face difficulties not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something right.

I purposely don't talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It's not about the money.

Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe.

I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.

When things gets difficult, and it seems like the intensity has been turned up, that’s a sign you are close to your victory.

If you spend your life trying to please people or letting them control you, you may make them happy, but you'll miss your destiny.
