I am saying there is someone that I have a message and purpose for, that God will bring in my pathway, because one thing I'm committed is never to waste my trials in life, to find purpose in all things and especially the places of pain.
I don't go where I'm tolerated. I go where I'm celebrated.
Let's say financially. Financially, I personally believe that you should have enough to do the assignment that you feel is part of your life. And whatever that is to do, you're going to need.
You've been complaining, you've been depressed, you've been despondent. But take off those garments of heaviness and put back on your garments of praise. I didn't come when you thought I was going to come, but I'm going to be right on time.
I believe so many people live what I call that false identity they are living according to other people's expectations, associations, their experiences, the labels in life. And they buy into that.
I believe that prosperity has a purpose.
My definition of prosperity would be quite different than what most people probably imagine or think, because I think that a wholeness word that means nothing missing, nothing broken. It's not finances or materialism.
I say you have to remember in darkness what he told you in light. And the principle is this that there are times that it does feel like God is playing hide and go seek. But I trust him.
I believe God always listens to our prayers.
I can begin to give God attributes. He's a counselor. He's a healer. He's a friend that sits closer than a brother. To me, he just - I sum it up that he's my anchor, my rock, my foundation in life, that my life was - had an emptiness - a deep, dark void with something - it had a lot of fulfillment externally, but something inside said there's more.
My faith graduated to a place called trust, that I know ultimately - ultimately, that God has good things for me.
I believe the bible helps yourself.
I was not a product of what happened to me, what I had been through, where I had come from. And when I began to realize who I really was, that God had created me, put my DNA, everything together was perfectly precisionly put together by God and that I was valuable, that's what 'You're All That'.
The devil is a liar. I said the devil is a liar. Don't make me preach now, but you are the living epistle, the written word of Christ.
What I might have considered good, good doesn't mean every day is going to be perfect, you're not going to have bad breath, your hair is going to be in the perfect place.
Some people left you for dead. They thought it was over. They said you're hopeless, you're helpless. You can't be used. You're not ministry material. You're going to be poor. You're going to be messed up. But guess what? Tell the devil, go to hell. You're a liar.
