Faith

"When you know your purpose in life, then by faith you know God will enable you to do it"

"Willpower, though important in its own way, is never enough. In order for you to be truly powerful, you must open up and trust in something beyond yourself—something you cannot prove for certain."

"The most sensitive period of their developmental age, when the kids are supposed to be taught to question everything and nourish their reasoning skills, they are taught that God created the world in seven days – that the human race did not evolve from apes through millions of years, rather it came from the amorous congress between two God-made humans, named Adam and Eve. And if you ask why? The answers of the uneducated primordial teachers would be that the scriptures say so. And now if you ask, can’t the scriptures be wrong – do I have to take these stories literally? They would lash out with rage and shout at you – how dare you question the scriptures! Every single word in it is true. There is no greater truth than the truth of these sacred texts."

"For Christian writers, religious faith is not a rebellion against reason, but a revolt against the imprisonment of humanity within the cold walls of a rationalist dogmatism."

"God goes ahead of a man who walks by faith, that is the beauty of faith"

"I understand (finally) that God does not REACT to prayers or petitions. He has ACTED. It is already done."

"We came from different backgrounds; he was white from privileged class in America, and I black from a village in Africa, but he was kind generous, and he reached out to this young poor black boy. He changed the odds against me. Our friendship rose above race."

"Sometimes when the world goes dark, and everyone turns their backs on you, just look the sky to see light, and follow the stars to paradise"

"Do not pay attention to those who are trying to stop or hinder you"

"Some of the greatest miracles one could ever receive in their life are the ones that happen when their faith and action has been applied."

"The giver is more than the gift; God is more than the blessing. And our being kept waiting on Him is the only way for our learning to find our life and joy in Himself. Oh, if God’s children only knew what a glorious God they have, and what a privilege it is to be linked in fellowship with Him, then they would rejoice in Him! Even when He keeps them waiting, they will learn to understand better than ever. ”Therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you.” His waiting will be the highest proof of His graciousness."

"It's unlimited what we can do through Christ."

"The key to the Almighty's favor is to hold on with firm belief that the promises of God's Word are true."

"Be still and know that I am God!"

"Sometimes all thats left is faith."

"Your connection to yourself is also your connection to the divine. The more you are connected to yourself, the more you are connected to the divine. They are one and the same."

"Sometimes things aren't very clear, that's all. Things look like they're going against us, and though it always turns out fine in the end, and we can always look back and say oh of course it had to happen that way, otherwise so-and-so wouldn't have happened--still while it's happening, in my heart I keep getting this terrible fear, this empty place, and it's very hard at such times really to believe in a Plan with a shape bigger than I can see..."

"I am nothing but a ripped fabric stitched together by God's grace."

"Mother Nature created God as a neurological anti-depressant sentiment, but Man tore that God apart into pieces and made citadels of differentiation out of them."

"Step out on faith and walk into your purpose."
