The discipline of fasting breaks you out of the world's routine.

Whatever is stealing your peace and rocking your boat, what ever is taking your smile away, reach down, pick it up, and throw it overboard.

If the devil starts bringing up your past it's because he's running out of new material!

You're rich according to what you are, not according to what you have!

Never speak words that allow the enemy to think he's winning.

Every deed has a seed. In other words, the deeds you choose to do in this lifetime create a seed for future generations.

Fasting is what prepares you for a new anointing.

Satan gets disturbed -and defeated -when you decide to do more that be a Sunday-morning Christian.

Three duties of every Christian are giving, praying, and fasting.

If you want to please God, believe God.

The discipline of fasting releases the anointing, the favor, and the blessing of God in the life of a Christian.

With improved historical records, and easier access to them, we actually have better reasons for hating one another, for anger and violence toward one another.

One of the characteristic problems of our time is how to close this gap between capabilities and foresight.

Fame is such a waste. It can't even be recycled.

I would say I'm an inspirational guidelines book. You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them and apply them to your everyday life.

I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.

I’d recommend learning to accept rejection. Become friends with rejection. Be nice to rejection, because it’s a huge part of being a writer, no matter where you are in your career.

I do not condemn any personal choices for intimate relationships. Love is love. I detest only the violence and trauma that any self-centered conduct can cause to others.

Each step you take reveals a new horizon. You have taken the first step today. Now, I challenge you to take another.

Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.

On rolls the stream with a perpetual sigh; The rocks moan wildly as it passes by; Hyssop and wormwood border all the strand, And not a flower adorns the dreary land.
