Oprah Winfrey Quote


Quote by Oprah found on Pinterest 




Speaking positive personal confessions and scriptures out-loud, along with having an expectant attitude toward prosperity and positive living has also become a daily routine for me and it has had a tremendous effect on my life. 

Speaking prosperity, for example: 


"I always have more than enough!" 

"My cup runneth over!"

"I'm a giver with plenty to give!"

"God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus!"

"Everything I put my hands to prospers and succeeds!"



And declaring positive statements about your life, for example: 

"This is my year for a breakthrough!"

"This is my year of increase!"

"This is my best year yet!"  

"I am healthy and happy!" 

"I love my life!"

Through my Bible studies, church and some of Joyce Meyer's books and teachings, along with others, I have learned about the importance that our words have in our lives, in our prosperity or poverty, and how I have a responsibility to speak in agreement with God's Word in order that I may live a positive, prosperous, and joyful life -the life He intended for me to live.


One scripture that has really touched my heart and changed the way I view prosperity says: 


"Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." 
 Psalm 35:27 NKJV

This scripture means so much to me because for most of my life I had been taught that it was wrong to have money, or to even want to have it, you know that old saying: 


Money is the root of all evil? 


That is a lie from the enemy and a misquote, what is actually true is that the love of money is, according to this scripture: 


"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
I Timothy 6:10


This is not saying that people who have money are evil, since you can't possibly be a financial blessing to others without it, however, it is a warning that you should not wander from your faith because you have it or trust in your money instead of trusting in God.


That's my take on it. That's what I've learned and it has truly changed my life.

Determinator

What IS a Determinator?  According to TV Tropes the answer is:  A character - good or evil, male or female, young or old - who never gives up.  Ever . No matter what. There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not  Know When to Fold 'Em , and it's a waste of time to  tell them the odds . No one can reason with them. They'll  do whatever they have to   without question.  No price is too great  to pay for success, up to and including their own life (and others'). Do not expect them to realize they might be better off letting it go, even if  they can barely stand . If you're ever kidnapped or lost with no hope of rescue, they'll be the one  who will find you . Their adversaries will shout, in exasperated rage,  "Why Won't You Die?!" . For them, there is no line between "perseverance" and "insanity." Some Real-Life Determinators, according to TV Tropes, are:...

Puppy Love

Image
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm an  animal lover, and they also know that my main  animal love is the  four-legged-pooch-type,  also known as  "Man's best friend." 🐶 My furry family has taught me a lot, but of all the things that I've learned from  them,  the most important two things have been forgiveness and gratitude.  Forgiveness Now I'm not implying that you can abuse a dog and they will easily forgive and  forget. What I am saying is that when you  have to  leave them alone for an  extended period of time (like on Sundays when  we have church and work the  monthly food pantry or the monthly missions' luncheon and end up  being away from them for hours), even though they've given you their best  sad-eyed-I-can't-believe-you're-leaving-me guilt trip as you're walking out the door, the moment you return all is forgiven and  they are...

Serving Others Well

Image
When you follow the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", then serving others well becomes a natural, innate part of your life.  This is nothing new. We have all heard this phrase, and for some of us it was a moral lesson consistently taught to us by our loving parents.  To serve others well simply means to put yourself in their shoes and see their wants, needs, desires, goals, ambitions, and dreams as if they were your very own, and then to work hard doing everything you can to help meet those needs or to make those things a reality for them.  Are you in sales? Do you provide a specific service? Are you a blogger or writer? Whatever your job, business, or service is, simply ask yourself "what would I want or expect in this situation if the roles were reversed?"   Then, honestly answer that question and make the necessary adjustments, if any.  And i f the product, service or writing isn't something that you would...
