“Without big battles, you won’t have big victories.”

You were created to make somebody else’s life better. Somebody needs your smile. They need your love, your encouragement & your gifts.

There is a God watching over you that will rescue you from trouble. He will stop the plan of the enemy.

God is directing your steps. He may not have sent the storm, but He is in control of the storm.

Learn to trust His timing. Don’t get in a hurry; don’t grow impatient; don’t try to force doors open. Don’t try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

We are praying for the members of our armed forces and their families as we honor their sacrifice this Memorial Day.

God will transform the valley of trouble into a gateway of hope.

You can’t live with no passion, no zeal: get up, go to work, come home, do it all again. That flame won’t grow without you stirring it.

Quit wasting time trying to convince someone to understand you when they’re determined to misunderstand you.

It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

This is a new day of freedom, a new day of wholeness, a new day of increase.

Freedom begins when you start praying bold prayers.

Look for opportunities to do good.

Nothing you face can keep you from your purpose.

The valley is leading you to new levels, to better relationships, to greater influence.

When God breathed His life into you, He filled you with greatness and purpose. Like good seed planted in the dirt, you were created to rise above every obstacle.

Don’t use your words to describe the situation. Use your words to change the situation.

It takes more courage to dig deep in the dark corners of your own soul and the back alleys of your society than it does for a soldier to fight on the battlefield.

When I hear a guy lost a battle to cancer, that really did bother me, that that’s a term. It implies that he failed and that somebody else that defeated cancer is heroic and courageous.

All brave men love; for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life, or in physical contests.

The battle against the dark one and the clinging to the right one is what my life is about.

Back in the old days, a man could just get sick and die. Now they have to wage a battle. So my Uncle Bert is waging a courageous battle, which I’ve seen, because I go and visit him. And this is the battle: he’s lying in the hospital bed, with a thing in his arm, watching Matlock on the TV.

We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

I’m trying to raise the awareness of the troops that, when they deploy and go to war, it’s not just them at war – it’s also their family. Their family is having to go through all the hardships and the stresses.

Some people choose not to engage the battle and then don’t seek out that kind of success. And others do.
