I don't think that you can let the storms of life overwhelm you. When you do that, you are no better than the craziness that caused you to be under attack.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
But I think my mistakes became the chemistry for my miracles. I think that my tests became my testimonies.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
The first time I walked on a stage I knew that was what I was created to do. I knew that there was a calling and a sense of purpose in my life that gave me fulfillment and a sense of destiny.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
If you learn how to forgive others for not being strong, then people can learn how to forgive you for your own issues.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord, which is consistent with the Gospel, but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
There are no college courses to build up self-esteem or high school or elementary school. If you don't get those values at a early age, nurtured in your home, you don't get them.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I think most people who get into their 50s reassess what made sense and what didn't make sense.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I'm not particularly political. I'm not particularly denominational. I'm not worried about any of that.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I'm for people bettering themselves, no matter who they are and where they are, doing all they can to be all they can be.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Children are not unforgiving. You can punish them and they will hug you in a few minutes.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I think it is important that we rebuild an atmosphere of forgiveness and civility in every aspect of our lives.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
As a Christian, Christ died so that we will have eternal life in Him in Heaven. What it looks like doesn't matter, what it smells like doesn't matter, as long as Christ is there it will be Heaven to me.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this, that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
We develop our propensity to forgive or not to forgive by what we see illustrated at the early ages of our development.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
When my father died, I had a real experience with Christ, a real conversion with Christ and I had it in a Oneness church.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
When you make a decision to forgive it's a decision that you have to make intellectually.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
One of the things about my ministry is that I have never branded myself as being above the people or superior to people.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
And another thing is that I think as a church whenever we become politically driven, we alienate at least 50 percent of the people that God called us to reach with our political orientations.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I actually grew up playing the piano in the church and was deeply involved in music ministry.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I think that my preaching style and many of my ideas and ideals about faith are based in both Pentecostal and Baptist background.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
My first church had seven members in it, and I have to remember, the rent was $225 a month and I worked for Union Carbide and took the check I made from work to pay for the rent to keep the church open.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
God is not preparing the Blessing for YOU, He is preparing YOU for the Blessing
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Not everyone will be happy when you begin to better yourself. Those who are for you will not just celebrate in your triumphs, but they will also pray with you through your tribulations.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
If you can disappoint yourself as much as you love yourself and you still manage to disappoint yourself then why are you shocked when other people that you love disappoint you.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Real value isn’t in what you own, drive, wear or live. The greater value is found in love and life, health and strength, friends and family!
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Too many people want the appearance of winning rather than the practices and hard work that create a true champion.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
Somebody is n the hospital begging God for the opportunity u have right now. Step into your moment.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
God is a businessman. He is not going to do business with someone who shows no sign of potential return. He invests in people who demonstrate an ability to handle what He has given them.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
God has invested entirely too much in you for you to be comfortable in anything less than you were created to be.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
A lot of can't deal with life because they lack the patience to become who they want to be.... Everything happens by process. If you don't go through the process to get it, you don't have the power to keep it.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
God's not going to promote you because you have a dream, He's going to promote you because you've maximized where you are so now you're ready to go to the next level.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.
