More quotes by T. D. Jakes
What you can do is embrace what you have right now and to allow it to fill the vacancies of what you didn't get yesterday.
T. D. Jakes
I wasn't looking out, I was looking in. I knew something was in me, I just wasn't sure how valuable it was.
T. D. Jakes
Never make a permanent decision about a temporary situation.
T. D. Jakes
Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.
T. D. Jakes
If you have achieved any level of success, then pour it into someone else. Success is not success without a successor.
T. D. Jakes
Sometimes we esteem others more important than ourselves. We always become the martyr. It is wonderful to be self-sacrificing, but watch out for self-disdain! If we don’t apply some of the medicine that we use on others to strengthen ourselves, our patients will be healed and we will be dying.
T. D. Jakes
Stress and worry is a residual of relying on yourself and being your own god, in control of everything. Worship allows us to rely on God's power to steer us through life.
T. D. Jakes
You’d be surprised at the things that look great on the outside but are dysfunctional on the inside. Be sure to function as good as you look
T. D. Jakes
When you can't do nothing but pray-you've done a whole lot.
T. D. Jakes
When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.
T. D. Jakes
All over this nation, all over this world there are people going to church today and they say they are believers, but until you can take what you've been taught and bring it to the place you gave up - you will never be the radical believer that you need to be for the times in which we live.
T. D. Jakes
A church that focuses on the external has lost its passion for souls.
T. D. Jakes
I'm not particularly political. I'm not particularly denominational. I'm not worried about any of that.
T. D. Jakes
When God blesses you, don't let no devil in hell move you out of your place of blessing!
T. D. Jakes
When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.
T. D. Jakes
I don't care how fancy you wrap trash, it's still trash.
T. D. Jakes
You can teach what you know, but you can only reproduce what you are.
T. D. Jakes
God's grace is painted on the canvas of despair.
T. D. Jakes
You can't be who you are going to be and who you used to be at the same time.
T. D. Jakes
I think that it's unfortunate that we have allowed politics to use theology to hit areas that we sincerely want to support. But I think that they are using us to some degree because they are using what concerns us to isolate us.
T. D. Jakes
