You're either in a position of abundance or you're in a position of poverty. Now, that's every area of your life. That's not just financially.
I talk about things like how to lose without losing identity. All loss and grief feels like when you transition.
When seasons change in our life, it's difficult. Because it feels like loss and no one likes loss. And I go through, how do you do that? How do you take that transition without losing it in the curve?
Did you get so caught up in the preoccupancy of a relationship that you lost who you were or were busy in life or career that you, like Adam and Eve, got lost in the garden putting fig leaf after fig leaf title, relationship, this accolade, this saying over you that you forgot who you were and what's life's about? So getting back to the core of that and building life by design, that is authentic.
This is the best message that I have been responsibly for it. This will help you, A, find your identity. Because you can never overcome life issues. You'll never overcome your condition without knowing your position. So identity. Significance comes out of identity, meaning life's purpose, your why in life. But the great thing is this book ['You are all that'] is so practical.
I started with self gone missing.
I'm extremely proud of the ability to really go forth and minister.
To say you're going to wiggle your nose and that is going to happen, it won't happen. If you look at major companies who are doing wonderful things, wonderful things and they give their portfolio billions of dollars that they make and they give away $10 million or so, when you start putting the percentages there, what we are doing is significant.
I have nothing to be sorry about.
I can go on and on. In the Appalachians. I fed the poorest part of this nation for years coming up at Christmas.
Larry Jones with Feed the Children and I are partnering in New York and going into Rikers Island.
We have full disclosure in transparency of our audited, our financial audits. It's on our Web site. It is, I think 16 or 20- something pages, which most public companies or private companies and most ministries don't disclose. So we have always operated with financial integrity and full transparency.
I came to let you know, God is not going to his authenticity be destroyed.
I can't tell what god will do because I'm not God. I can only take you back to biblical principle.
God has hooked me up.He has the life by design.
Good means ultimately he's producing character in me to conform me into the image of Christ.
My faith graduated to a place called trust, that I know ultimately - ultimately, that God has good things for me.
What I might have considered good, good doesn't mean every day is going to be perfect, you're not going to have bad breath, your hair is going to be in the perfect place.
I believe God always listens to our prayers.
I say you have to remember in darkness what he told you in light. And the principle is this that there are times that it does feel like God is playing hide and go seek. But I trust him.
I can begin to give God attributes. He's a counselor. He's a healer. He's a friend that sits closer than a brother. To me, he just - I sum it up that he's my anchor, my rock, my foundation in life, that my life was - had an emptiness - a deep, dark void with something - it had a lot of fulfillment externally, but something inside said there's more.
A spirit is a great definition for me.
I think we try to box and put God in some limited definition, which is impossible.
When I say you don't have to be a believer, you just have to say - you have to ask the question to say am I concerned about the tough questions in life, being introspective enough to say, who am I, why am I, what am I?
When I had this concept ["You're All That"] that I'm not just a body with a mind, that I'm a spirit being, I'm a synergistically trying being, when I understood that, life began to come into focus.
