I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don't believe that we're supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God's blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that's how God leads us.

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.

When you allow what someone says or does to upset you, you're allowing them to control you.

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

God loves to use ordinary people just like you and me, faults and all, to do extraordinary things.

God made us for more than just barely getting by. We weren't meant to sit on the sidelines of life because with God, we are on the winning team!

I was reading in the Bible and one translation says that Jesus said that if you publicly will acknowledge me before people, I will acknowledge you before my Father in heaven. So that is a big part of these meetings like Night of Hope, giving people an opportunity to publicly say, "Jesus, I believe you are the messiah, you're Christ, you're my Lord."
