Sometimes God will deliver you from the fire, and other times God will make you fireproof.

We minister the Word of God. The proclamation of the Gospel comes after individuals have opened their hearts to God and turned from themselves to others. Only then are they truly ready to hear and benefit fully from the Word of the Lord.

I see people - they won't be negative toward other people, but inside they're negative toward themselves, and I think that holds us back.

I'm not. I don't – I don't dislike anybody. Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world. But my faith is based on what I believe the scripture says, and that's the way I read the Scripture.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God's perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

Truth is, no two people are completely compatible. We have to learn to become one. That means we may have to make sacrifices we may have to overlook some things. We must be willing to compromise for the good of the relationship.

If you think you’re average, then you’ll be average. If you think you’re ordinary, then you’ll live ordinary. The truth is, there is nothing ordinary about you. You have something to offer that nobody else can offer.

If they left you, you didn't need them. If they walked away, they weren't part of your DESTINY.

Image
When I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts.

Your time is too valuable, your destiny is too great, and your future is too bright to waste a single moment. Be a now person.

So many people say, I just don't have a good job, or my marriage is not where it's supposed to be. Really it's excuse after excuse to not be happy. To me it's a waste. I'm going to look at what's right and not what's wrong in my life. I'm alive, I'm healthy, and you know, a good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.

No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming.

Image
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?
Joel Osteen
Image
Nobody owes me anything. I am not at a disadvantage. I am equipped, empowered, and anointed.

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

I'm trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He's for them and has a purpose.

Certainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets.

I try to teach people that I believe God wants us to be positive toward ourselves, meaning that, you know what, I like the way I look, I like the way I sound, I'm happy with what I'm doing in my career - and not always be beating ourselves down.
Joel Osteen

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

Image
God's way is better than your way. His plan is bigger than your plan. His dream for your life is more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than you've ever dreamed of. Now stay open and let God do it His way.
