If you develop an image of success, health, abundance, joy, peace, happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from 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.

Some of you had big dreams, but you had some disappointments & now you think it’s over. But God is saying, Begin again.

There is always times where you feel discouraged and things coming against you, but I don't know if I ever wanted to throw in the towel. I think one of the most difficult things is every Sunday I am up there ministering, and so you have to have a fresh word, you have to be practical, you need to keep people's attention and so that comes around every seven days.

You can make changes in your life and you can say, "I'm going to be a better parent next year than I am right now," or, "I'm going to take an extra step in my career and not just be satisfied where I am." So it has a lot to do with our will, but also we have to work as well.

I wouldn't ever say if you're having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

You were created to make somebody else’s life better. Somebody needs your smile. They need your love, your encouragement & your gifts.
