Quotes 1

No matter what happens, God has done His part We want to take credit for what God does and blame God for what we do He doesn’t love you because He gives you things; He gives you things because He loves you It happens because He said it; we just repeat what He has already promised It is our job to do what we can and His job to do Who I am will never change God, but who He is will change me Jesus saw the right in bad people and the wrong in good people Don’t say the right word at the wrong time…this is wisdom There are no mistakes in God’s doings Finding God is the greatest thing that can happen to a heart, for then it has found Love. We feel the scriptures for good things belong to us, and the scriptures for bad things belong to others What people say is good, but what God says is. If I understand and you don’t, I have not taught well. I don’t have wise words for you, but God does and I hear Him talking. If God doesn’t move the mountain, start climbing. The other side of the mountain is downhill to a valley. God put you at the crossroads of other peoples’ lives. You only learn when you realize you don’t know everything.

Quotes 2

I am stronger that the mountain because He said I was. It must be important to God, satan sure is fighting. When you sin, satan points to the law and God points to the blood. I feel holy when I feel God. His life lives on in the words He said, the things He did, the Spirit He left and the lives He changed. I have prayed what my heart felt, therefore I will be satisfied with God’s response. God can do more in a heartbeat than man can do in a lifetime. Sometimes I don’t know who I am, but I always know who He is. Would you stand and watch your child die when you could stop it? God did. If it sounds too good to be true: it’s the Gospel. God answers our prayers because of what He has promised us and not what we promise Him. Greater works than these: leading someone to Jesus. God said wait, not sit down. My cross weighs nothing compared to the one He carried. I said I can’t try again and the Holy Spirit encouraged me. I tried again and triumphed. Jesus prayed: what about you? Sometimes in trying to forget, we make our memory stronger. Church is like a beach where we go lay in the Son.

Quotes 3

Sign in church: Wanted: Mountain Climbers The scripture says;” yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death”. Didn’t say anything about camping out. One of the most difficult times to show love is when you are right. Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end!! (Borrowed) Don’t worry if sickness is God’s will, He provided for healing. The Gospel is not an omelet, just the simple truth, you are saved by grace. If one word helps one person, it is worth saying. When you are weak, God comes to you. When you are lazy, He makes you come to Him. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it. (Borrowed) "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him." Psalm 127:3 What to remind God of if the devil bothers your children. Lord bless this day and keep it and don’t let me take any part of it away. The prostitute said, ”You want me?” I said, “Yes I want you to be saved.” I’m not worthy of His love, but neither are you. The reason some people stay in the valley is they’re waiting for an elevator to take them up the mountain. With God, down always takes you up. God said it. Any questions? When you sin, satan points to the law and God points to the Blood. Stop trying to change yourself and let God do it.

Quotes 4

Sinners practice sin: Christians repent. As a child of God I know how Hid hands feel: both ways. If this is not war, why do have a sword and all that armor. If it’s truth, it’s God. God can conquer even us. God sure does a good job. If I fail I want to fail trying. I don’t want to be like Samson and wait until my deathbed to do something for God. The world can study you all your life and still not know you: God already knows you. People are still betraying Jesus for money. How hard a Rock that you can stand on, yet fall on it and not get hurt. He had to come to go away to cone back. Putting your money on Jesus is not gambling: it’s a sure thing. The Spirit brings fruit boats upon the waters of your heart. When is the right time to kill? God’s not like me: I’m like Him. If you want to be a monkey, go ahead: I was created in the image of God. Paul didn’t mean be content not doing anything for Christ. God reveals the good things in your life to others and your sins to you: satan reveals your sins to others and your good things to no one.

Quotes 5

Miracles are not the power of God unto salvation: The Gospel is. People don’t get up one morning and say: “I’m going to live this way so I can die and go to hell.” When you look at me don’t blame God for my mistakes: trust Him for yours. If you try the sample: you’ll buy the product. If you want to know if the gold is pure: put the fire to it. There is nothing mixed with Gods’ gold. God knows how to start over: Ask Noah Don’t host the devil’s site. My faith is not based on Nasdaq or Dow Jones, but God’s promises. Greater works than these: leading somebody to Jesus. God answers our prayers because of what He promised us: Not what we promise Him. You preach the Gospel for someone else’s success: Not your own. You are always pre-approved for Heaven. He’s God: Nothing left to be said. Remember: It could have been you. This is the day the Lord has made:There is enough time for what He needs done. Is the tragedy that it happened or how soon we forgot? One for all: What a deal! What good is forgiveness without eternal life? Let us eat, drink and be merry. When you pray be an agreer; He is the doer.

Quotes 6

If words could tell we would have created a new language. I am wise because I serve God and I serve God because I am wise. God’s rewards are much greater than anything I could give. Love is your best advertisement. Giving is to further the Gospel not the building. I don’t want my enemies under my feet but walking beside me toward Heaven. That’s two lies the devil told: he ‘s said two things. Warning to the devil: I’m connected. My faith is not based upon my financial standing but my forgiveness standing. Remember with satan you can’t win: with God you can’t lose. Before sin, Adam and Eve only knew their hearts: after sin they started looking at the outside. The Bible works better when opened. Before the fall to After it all: it’s been wonderful knowing Him. I have learned the value of keeping a card from a loved one or friend. Nothing can change how a person died. Find out from your children the name of their best friend and their favorite color. God is not confused: He knows what you need. When they investigate where you’ve been, what kind of evidence will they find. You don’t need the experience Paul had: You need a personal experience.

Quotes 7

Jesus was not politically correct: He said things like repent or ye shall all likewise perish. When you accept what He’s done you are accepting Him. I want to be clay so I can become gold. A few wise words are better than many books. Sometimes we bring out the worst in people. God never says no to salvation: but He does say no. It does not matter who is wrong as long as you know He is right. If the rock is hard it takes dynamite: ain’t God dynamite! In Christ you have a start that never ends. When you think you have problems: remember Lazarus was dead. You may not know everything: Knowing Jesus is enough. Gods Word is the light: Gods Love is the oil. If God can’t live with you: How can anyone else? Sometimes we watch our children cry: God did and still does. If you want to fill in your time: Pour in the Word of God. For what you owe God: Pay Him in thanks. You’re not the only man or woman: But He is the only God. The best tribute I can give to my parents is to serve God. The pain maybe someone else’s, but it hurts the same as yours. Pain is still pain by any other name. It hurts: That’s why they call it pain.

Quotes 8

Leave the dead bodies in the desert and cross over Jordan to the Promised Land. There are no side effects to taking Grace. When the world closes in, God opens up. I don’t care what my new body looks like: I’m going to love it. Remember when you’re sinning: Gods promises are true. You need to be led by the Spirit: God already is. It’s not part of your job description to worry: God takes care of that too. The devil wants to keep the homosexual and the drug addict out of Heaven: Don’t help him. The devil told God to prove His Love for man and He did on a cross. What would you do without them: Love them now. I have failed my children: That does not mean I don’t love them: God has never failed us. God never says no to salvation: But He does say no. Gods will is killing me: Now I can be made like Him. I saw the storm coming and covered my face in fear: When I looked again I saw Jesus in the storm. Don’t eat in front of the hungry; Rather share and have peace with God. I said, “Who could do such a thing.” Then I looked in a mirror and said, “ But for the Grace of God.” If you want to find your destiny: Keep walking toward the Son. God doesn’t need to change, you do.

Quotes 9

Don’t get so involved in finding your destiny you forget today. It’s hard to stand still when the winds of change are blowing strong. If you build it right you will end up with a roof over your head and a place to rest. You can’t put a wall socket in until you build the wall. People want God to be committed to them without them being committed to Him. There is no distance too long for Love. God has made a commitment to save every soul: He gave His Son Jesus. Jesus was the least important thing in His life. He lets me call Him by His first name: Jesus You’re not built like a mule so stop trying to carry that heavy load. Everybody is fighting the same battle against the devil: Some have been captured and need our help. God’s Love is not controlled by height, weight, gender, appearance, color, creed,level of ability or even what we or others think. Jesus is as guilty of Love as you can get. There’s a time when you pray for your enemies because Jesus said to: Then there’s a time you do it because you mean it. Don’t be deceived about your destiny: God only called one King David: One Peter and one Paul: He called you to be who you are. It is good to know the end is really the beginning. To feel I have loved someone is satisfaction

Quotes 10

If you are truly seeking God He will not hide Jesus from you. Go back if you want: God is still going to love you. Blessed of God: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Elijah, David, Peter and you. I am becoming my Father. I don’t want to grow up by myself: I don’t know how. A prayer warrior is not somebody who prays more than ten minutes. Want to become a prayer warrior: Turn the television off. Are you paying attention to what God is doing? If you promosed God you would do anything: Why aren’t you doing anything? God is not as interested in you being Elijah as He is you being yourself. His sister’s faith in Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead: what has your faith raised? Don’t confuse waiting on the Lord with procrastination. If I have taught my children about Jesus then I have taught them love: If I have shown them love then I have shown them Jesus. O don’t love my children because of a commandment but because I do. You’re where you are for the glory of God Where there is faith there is God Where there is hope there is God Where there is love there is God Where there is God there is Jesus.

Quotes 11

If Jesus is not real then how can I feel so good when things are going wrong. Sometimes when people ask you advice, they’re looking for someone to blame when things go wrong. Could be worse, but I’m believing God for better. Sometimes I need preaching to. I don’t want to pay Him back, I want to serve Him. God turned His face from Jesus to see us in a different Light. Let the teachers teach, the singers sing, the preachers preach, the prophets prophecy and everybody praise the Lord. I saw that wisdom was a good thing to ask for, so I did. I came before God and said here is my heart, it’s not worth much, but it is all I have to offer. He accepted it.

Some people have been speaking to the same mountain for years: Get over it. He saved me a place to bow. Jesus loves His Father and His Father loves Jesus and they love me. Love is innocent but accepts the blame. For things to work in your life God’s will has to be done. I may not have much but I’m better off with Jesus and that’s enough. To children it does not matter if you’ve been married before. Undying love died on a cross.

Quotes 13

Learning in the heart is much more important than what you find in any book. It’s not black against white; it’s black and white against the devil.

He is the Healer who speaks to the needs in our lives while He tells us what great things He has done for us. If you don’t know what’s going on you’re not paying attention. May His Love wrap you in the pillow of comfort and His Grace covers you with Hope. You must first die to a situation before you can be raised in victory. He shed His Blood, He asks us to shed tears. Sometimes in my life I want to call timeout.

Quotes 14

Your vail may be something you were taught when you were young.

Saving is not the only thing God can do for you. There is so much more.

Queen ( Chris Evert )

For years we watched her grace the courts Within white lines of truth She moved so lightly back and forth ‘Til now from her time of youth She showed us all of sportsmanship An example to our young And now with all the words in place Her song is proudly sung A last hurrah is not enough For all that she has been She gave to us her everything As good as could be seen And when at last the time has come Her smile we’ll truly miss Who will be there to take her place We salute our tennis Queen, Chris
