God made you with potential - potential for greatness! If you do what you can do, and trust Him to do what you cant, you will grow into the person He gave you the potential to be!” “Average is very acceptable in our society but I dont think the angels are applauding. If you are determined to be excellent, to not back out of it, you will reap a harvest in your life.” “Because of the lingering discrimination, many women still lack confidence. They live in fear of stepping beyond what they feel is acceptable female behavior. I can remember feeling that I wasnt normal because I was aggressive, had dreams and goals, and wanted do do great things...I am glad now that I found courage to do something radical and chase my dreams.” “Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you dont have to sit on it.” “Better to have a big goal and reach half of it than to have no goal and reach all of it.” “Brother and Sister So & So are not your standard; Jesus is.” “Character is doing what you dont want to do but know you should do.” “Come to me all who are weary and heavy burden..

Do it as an act of faith and trust God to change and heal your emotions. Pray for your enemies and never say another unkind thing about them. It is the only way you can move past the pain and begin to heal.” “Don’t run to the phone, run to the throne.” “Don’t waste another day of your life grieving over something that you cannot do anything about. Let God give you a new beginning. Your mistakes are not enough to stop God if you don’t let them.” “Dont just learn from Gods Word, but believe it will change your life.” “Dont let your feelings be a God to you.” “Dont reason in the mind just obey in the spirit.” “Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.” “Everytime you feed the flesh, you strenghten it. This is good if you are trying to build a good habit, but detrimental if you are trying to stop a bad habit. The way to kill the flesh is to starve it; to stop feeding it.” “Excellence - Take what you have and do the BEST with it.” “Faithfulness is not doing something right once but doing something right over and over and over and over.” “Fear tries to get us to give up but faith takes us all the way through to victory” “Focus on giving smiles away and you will always discover that your own smiles will always be in great supply!” “frustration, complication and misery are available in abundance, but so is Gods grace.” “Gaining a victory is more difficult than maintaining it once you have it.” “Go home, and let all your relatives off the potters wheel. You are not the potter!” “God does not always call us to go back physically to a place we have been. But if for example we have a difficult time submitting to a boss with a certain personality God may call us to continue working with someone who has the same personality until we master the situation in a godly way. God does not want us to be on the run He wants us to confront our fears and frustrations in order to find peace in Him.” “God doesn’t tell you to do hard things so He can stand back and laugh and watch you struggle. He tells you to do things the things that He knows are gonna work out to your good in the end.” “God is the Champion at bringing people from a place of destruction to a place of total victory. As they reach that place of victory they become trophies of his grace. and they are set on the display as a fragrant reminder of Gods goodness.” “God knows the mess we’re in when He calls us. His light shines greater through “cracked pots” than it does through those who have it all together.” “God plants dreams in peoples hearts. But many people do not continue all the way to the end in order to follow Him to the fulfillment of that dream. Many get started and quit get started and quit get started and quit. They do not continue because their broken heart overwhelms their hope. They do not have any inner strength to carry them through to the end. Jesus will bind up your wounds and heal your bruises. His Word is the medicine for your soul.” “God wants you to be delivered from what you have done and from what has been done to you - Both are equally imporant to Him.” “Gods love for me is perfect because its based on Him not on me.

To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness.” “Have God make a message out of your mess.” “Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.” “I always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it. God revealed to me what I was doing how much unnecessary pain I was causing myself. He even showed me that what I was doing was an insult to Jesus that in essence I was saying Lord the sacrifice of Your life and blood was good but not good enough. I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.” “I always say believe for a bunch, and even if you only get half of it you are better off than believing for a little and getting all of it.” “I believe confidence is all about being positive concerning what you can do -- and not worrying over what you cant do. A confident person is open to learning, because she knows that her confidence allows her to walk through lifes doorways, eager to discover what waits on the other side. She knows that every new unknown is a chance to learn more about herself and unleash her abilities.” “I dont just pray for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors.” “I know that if I said today, How many of you would like to have me pray for you to have self control? I could stay here and pray for people to have self control until midnight tonight. How many of you would stay if I would just lay hands on you and pray for you to have self control? Well, you know what, it would be a waste of time! Because, you are not going to have self control because somebody prays for you to have self control. You aready have self control. It is in you as a fruit of the spirit, but its a little teeny tiny little seed. And, nobody else can develop your fruit of the spirit. Nobody can develop your peace but you. Nobody can develop your joy but you. Nobody can develop your patience butyou. Nobody can develop your discipline and self control but you.” “I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.” “I may not be where I need to be but at least I am not where I used to be.” “I may not be where I need to be but I thank God I am not where I used to be.” “I never will forget this. I went and threw myself across my daughter’s bed, and I cried and I cried and I cried and I cried, because I felt like that I had been so faithful and that there was no financial breakthrough for us. You ever have one of those days where you are tired of hearing everybody else’s testimony? But, I made a decision that day, and I think we all have to come to this point in many different areas of our life. And, as I lay across that bed and cried, when I finally got done crying I said this out loud, it was like my declaration, “God, I am going to tithe and give offerings until the day I die whether I ever see anything from it or not!” And, you know what, from that day forward we began to prosper and increase. And, I believe with all of my heart that was a test for me.” “I remember the woman who marched up to the front of a church where I was doing a meeting, put her hands on her hips, and she said, I want my money back. I said, What are you talking about? She said, “I’ve been doing this two weeks, and it doesn’t work. I want my money back!” It was actually all that I could keep from doing to keep from laughing in her face, but she was serious. She actually was, like, giving almost to buy some kind of a new lifestyle that she wanted. Didn’t understand a thing about commitment and dedication and discipline. Two weeks! How many of you know you’re not going to throw a little money in the bucket and get your life that’s been a mess for 50 years turned around in two weeks!?!?” “I tell you what when I see chocolate chip cookies I can’t just eat one. I’ve got to eat a dozen. I don’t have any self control. Well, come on! You’re just talking yourself right into the pit! You do have self control, and you need to start looking at those cookies and saying, “If I want you I’ll eat you, and if I don’t I won’t!” Come on! Talk to that plateful of food! I am born again and baptized in the Holy Ghost! I have the power of the universe on the inside of me, and if I do not want to eat you I will not eat you! I mean how do you expect to defeat the devil if you can’t even defeat a chocolate chip cookie!?!?” “I was afraid to let other make any decisions, because I had no confidence they would be concerned for me.” “If I have to build a big company by mistreating other people then the Bible says WOE to me. I dont know what that is, but I dont want any of it.” “If you accept what people call you, you will start to believe it. Find your identity in Christ, not in what others say.” “If you are a believer married to an unbeliever I want to tell you that the greatest witness that you can be to them is to try to be the same all the time. Dont let the way they act control you. Dave didnt let my actions control him. He stayed happy, and that just made me madder, because unhappy people just want to make other people unhappy, but it finally broke through to me that hes got a stability and a joy and a peace that I did not have.” “If you are accused of being a Christian, there should be enough evidence to convict you.” “If you are facing a difficult task don’t put it off. If you do it will just keep tormenting you.” “If you are facing a new challenge or being asked to do something that you have never done before don’t be afraid to step out. You have more capability than you think you do but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for more.” “If you can believe the God who is perfect loves you then you can believe that you are worth loving.” “If you look at your circumstances you will put off doing what God is telling you to do. It can seem like the worst time to do whatever God says to do. BUT there is an anointing on now if God has told you to act.” “If you make a choice in this conference and you stick to it to be an excellent person in everything you do and you stick to it especially to be excellent when nobody is looking and do it not to get a result but to glorify God you’re going to have peace and joy and you’re going to have results. My concern is that if we just do something to get results then we’re not likely to follow things all the way through to the finish, because we get very discouraged, and I think that’s one of the reasons we have such discouragement among people. “Well, I’m doing this, and I expected to get a breakthrough before now.” ….. Well, I think God has to purify our hearts and get us to the point where we are not just doing something right just to get something!” “If you want to give the devil a nervous breakdown, just get up every day and see how much good you can do.” “If youre fighting moodiness and depression you dont want to hang around a bunch of other moody and depressed people.” “Is there any real purpose in being alive if all we are going to do is get up every day and live only for ourselves?“It is amazing the quality of human beings that are in this world if we can just get past people not dressing the way we want them to dress.” “It is impossible to be both selfish and happy” “It is not about doing what we feel like. It is about doing what God says.” “It is not about reading the Word. It is about obeying the Word.” “It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.” “It is not that we dont have faith it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies.” “Just because you feel fear doesnt mean you cant do it. Do it afraid” “Just because you go to church doesnt mean youre a Christian. I can go sit in the garage all day and it doesnt make me a car” “Justified means just as if youve never sinned.” “Lord, what if I miss You? What if I miss You? What if I miss You? Oh, Im so scared! God, what if I miss You? He answered simply, Joyce, dont worry; if you miss Me, I will find you.” “Many people say “my life stinks”. Well, your life will stink if you spend today thinking about tomorrow.” “Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value in God’s eyes.” “Maybe you dont just have one Goliath. Maybe you have his whole family!” “Mercy is the stuff you give to people that dont deserve it.” “My purpose in life is to do right and to glorify God.” “No matter how much we know in any area there are always new things to learn and things we have previously learned that we need to be refreshed in.” “No matter what you’re going through theres no pit so deep that God can’t reach in and get you out.” “Nobody has a perfect life and its entirely possible that if you want someone elses life they are busy wanting someone elses too–maybe even yours.” “One mistake does not have to rule a persons entire life.” “Our feelings are unreliable and cannot be trusted to convey truth.” “Our joy does not have to be based on our circumstances.” “Our past may explain why were suffering but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.” “Our world has created a false unrealistic image of what women are supposed to look like and act like. But the truth is that every woman was not created by God to be skinny, with a flawless complexion and long flowing hair. Not every woman was intended to juggle a career as well as all of the other duties of being a wife, mother, citizen, and daughter. Single women should not be made to feel they are missing somenthing because they are not married. Married women should not be made to feel they must have a career to be complete. We must have the freedom to be our individual selves.” “Patience is a fruit of the spirit that grows only under trial. It is useless to pray for patience. Well, actually I encourage you to pray for patience, but Ill tell you what youll get TRIALS!” “Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” “Put your expectations on God, not on people.” “Romans 6 - Our flesh is the instrument that Satan works through. When we say no to the flesh, we say no to the devil.” “Satan can control you if you let outward things determine your security.” “Satan frequently steals the will of God from us due to reasoning. The Lord may direct us to do a certain thing, but if it does not make sense - if it is not logical - we may be tempted to disregard it. What God leads a person to do does not always make logical sense to his mind. His spirit may affirm it and His mind reject it, especially if it would be out of the ordinary or unpleasant or if it would require personal sacrifice or discomfort.” “Seek His face and not His hand.” “Some people think they have discernment when actually they are just suspicious..“Sometime we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. Youre not going to enjoy your future, and youre not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past.” “Sometimes new opportunity means new opposition. Not everything God asks us to do will be comfortable.” “Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him.” “Start believing the Word of God over our feelings. The truth always overrides our feelings. Find the truth in the scriptures.” “Stop being tomented by everyone elses reaction to you.” “Stop determining your worth and value by what other people say. Be determined by what the Word of God (scriptures)says.” “Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we dont live in a perfect world.” “The absence of pain means death, so when something no longer bothers you, youve died to that thing.” “The biggest black eye that you can give the devil is to give God your pain and let Him turn it into gain.” “The devil will give up when he sees that you are not going to give in.” “The Holy Spirit showed me that when I put up walls to keep others out I also wall myself into solitary place of confinement.” “The sooner we learn feelings are fickle, the better off we are.” “The thing about secrets is they keep you in a prison. Once you share, WHOOSH, there is a release.” “The three most harmful negative emotions are anger, guilt, and fear. And anger is number one. It is also the strongest and most dangerous of all passions.” “The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.” “There are no drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time.” “There are times when God leaves huge question marks as tools in our lives to stretch our our faith.” “There are two kinds of pain: the pain of change and the pain of never changing and remaining the same.” “There is something you can do that no one else can do just like you so love your life!” “Today is a brand new beginning for me!” “Today Lord I am going to do my best with Your help and for Your glory.

Thank You Lord.” “Treat everyone you meet as if they have infinite value because in God’s eyes they do” “Trust and faith bring joy to life and help relationships grow to their maximum potential.” “Try a thing you havent done three times.

You have things you want to say to God but He also has things He wants to say to you.” “Where the mind goes the man follows.” “Where there is a rotten root, there will always be rotten fruit. We must be rooted in Jesus Christ.” “Where there is a rotten root, there will always be rotten fruit.” “Why wouldn’t we run to God. He’s sooo good. God’s not mad at anybody.

If we can ever understand this we can finally get over being confused about what the Bible says we have compared to our experience. Everything the Bible says we have we have it. As believers in Christ it is in us, but it comes as a SEED! The Bible actually calls Christ THE Seed. Capital S. So, I like to put it like this: When Christ first comes into your life the seed of everything God is comes into your spirit. The Bible says that the image of Christ is captured in us and that we are destined, you have a destiny, a destiny to be molded into his image of Jesus Christ. Your destiny and my destiny is to get out into the world and act like Jesus.” “you have to realize that you dont have someone elses life and your never going to. You better start loving the one you got. Embrass the life you have and stop wishing that you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying God here I am. Do what you want to do with me.” “You would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)” Quotes *joyce meryer*
