I believe God's keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can't give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it's peace or joy or satisfaction.

Your thoughts about your circumstances have you down. On the other hand, you can be in one of the biggest battles of your life, and still be filled with joy and peace and victory - if you simply learn how to choose the right thought. It’s time to think about what you’re thinking about.

God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you're going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

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

That's what I feel like I'm called to do - to plant a seed of hope in people's hearts.

My core message is that God has got a good plan for your lives, and we must trust Him, and let go of the past. That's my main message.

A lot of preachers' kids are some of the most rebellious kids in the world. I never was like that.
