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.

Don't grow accustomed to living with less, doing less, and being less to the point that you eventually sit back and accept it.

I like to start my day off every morning, take the first half hour and just search my own heart, see if I'm on the right course, try to be honest with myself - am I doing this for the right reasons?

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.

I just think that it's strong and it's important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about it's about the birth of our Savior, and there's a lot of pressure today to be politically correct ,but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

A disagreement or incident involving someone who's not that important to you, like a guy who cut you off in traffic or a rude cashier, is something that should roll off your shoulders. Save the effort for resolving conflicts with the people you cherish.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.

God made you a masterpiece - be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

Make the decision and say, I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in. Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.

You spend your time like you spend money. You can waste it or invest it.

That's my thing - keep filled with faith. Keep doing what you can do and I believe God will do what you can't do.

You have to make a switch. Decide today to start appreciating your spouse's strengths and learn to downplay their weaknesses. If you do, your marriage will be filled with more peace, unity and love, and you'll see God bless your marriage in greater ways.
