 Only God can look at somebody`s heart. I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father. Faith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy. I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical. Do all you can to make your dreams come true. Most people already know what they`re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change. You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church. When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. I don`t want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message. Prospering just doesn`t have to do with money. We were old sinners - but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore. It`s God`s will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It`s God`s will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt. I`m very careful about saying who would and wouldn`t go to heaven. I don`t know. God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us. To me, we`re marketing hope. You can be happy where you are. If Jesus were here today, he wouldn`t be riding around on a donkey. He`d be taking a plane, he`d be using the media. I think Bible principles are principles for life. I think God`s justice is making wrongs right. I have always believed in God. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you`re going to live your life. You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue. People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind. God wants to bless us where we are. A lot of churches have not moved with the times. God didn`t make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you. If you want to rear financial blessings, you have to sow financially. You may make some mistakes-but that doesn`t make you a sinner. You`ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you. I don`t go down the road of condemning. If we say it long enough eventually we`re going to reap a harvest. We`re going to get exactly what we`re saying. If you give, you will be blessed. I`ve never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it. I`m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell. I don`t think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be. A good thing to remember is somebody`s got it a lot worse than we do. A merry heart is good like a medicine. | ||
