QUOTES & THOUGHTS by Gary Lanier
QUOTES & THOUGHTS are not in a particular order! Enjoy reading and pass them on to family and friends! "If YOU are always looking for SOMETHING ELSE, you may miss the SOMETHING that is already there. God has SOMETHING, at this very moment, that is waiting for YOU to discover. That SOMETHING is a blessing and belongs to YOU. Don't miss it!" "God has given you a way to share a word of encouragement to hurting people everywhere. The Lord spoke to thousands, but has entrusted you with an avenue to reach the world. As you encourage one person, there is a host of others being encouraged by you, at the same time. THANK YOU FOR SHARING." "Are you SPENDING your life or INVESTING it? When you spend it, IT'S GONE. When you invest it, IT GROWS. God has an investment plan for you. It's full of good things! Talk to Him about it and listen as He speaks through HIS WORD." "Are you in a winter storm today? Not a weather storm, but a challenge that’s trying to keep you from victory. You‘re not alone. Storms are always lurking! In the midst of a storm, keeping his eyes on Jesus, Peter walked on water. You can walk on water too, in the midst of a winter storm. When the winter is cold and the pond freezes over, just remember, God has made a way for you to WALK ON WATER!" "WHAT MOUNTAIN ARE YOU CLIMBING? Your mountain is a goal you want to reach. God’s mountain is a purpose that He reaches through you." "SUCCESS is not necessarily getting out of a mess, but allowing God to make something good of it." "DON'T LOOK TOO FAR AHEAD...You may miss the NOW ON HOW TO GET THERE. Live today and let it build tomorrow." "There is a beautiful mountain, just waiting to be climbed. It is a special work from Father God. Look closely, HIS LAMP is shining on your feet, to get you on the right path. That LAMP may be a Bible verse or a word from a friend. Now look down the path. HIS LIGHT is there to keep you on the straight and narrow. Once at the top, look up and you’ll see another beautiful mountain, just waiting to be climbed." "There is something SIGNIFICANT about today... YOU ARE IN IT. God has made you uniquely different from His other creatures. There is an IMAGE deep inside you that causes change for the good. If you look close, you can see it. If you embrace it, you can experience it. Yes, there is something SIGNIFICANT about today... YOU ARE IN IT." "TODAY is an important day, because God chose to GIVE IT TO YOU. He didn't flip a coin at the last second in this decision. No...He knew TODAY was coming and included you in it. So, how are you going to respond to the GIVER of TODAY? Rejoicing is a good start, that's what the Psalmist did." "Today is a good day to listen and observe what's happening around you. How does God want you to respond? Remember, He loves you and wants the very best for your life." "As a Christian, God's favor in your life has given you the ability to live in many seasons at the same time. You can plant in one, while cultivating in another. You can harvest in one, while resting in another. Amazing... everyday can be a time of Planting, Cultivating, Harvesting & Resting. Now go and creatively enjoy GOD'S GIFT OF SEASONS." "God is talking to you today. Where do you think all those wonderful, creative thoughts come from? Many are gifts from your heavenly Father. Now, open that THOUGHT GIFT and see how He wants you to use it." "Don't forget, you are in a Christ centered faith walk. The results of your good works, that God has given you to do, may not be initially seen... but they are eternal in the spirit realm, just waiting to make a Grand Entrance to His Glory and Honor. Be encouraged, not discouraged...Your work is not in vain." "GOD is CREATOR and He has made you CREATIVE. You are given liberty to creatively invest the talents He has entrusted to your keeping. So, don't bury or hide your gifts. Instead, RENEW them and CREATIVELY use them to His glory. Today is a great day for RENEWING YOUR MIND. It beats RE-OLDING IT!" "Every Christian has something to invest, or plant, in God's Kingdom. God even supplies the seed. It may be a Special Ability or even a Non-Ability Seed. He takes something and makes it exponentially grow. He takes nothing, makes it something, and causes it to grow. So be encouraged, God wants you to prosper as you plant what He has provided into the lives of others." "Don't be discouraged, God has a unique plan for your life, only you can fulfill. That makes you special. Speak out the words of this song to the Lord, and let them encourage you." You have a plan for me that's custom made for me. I'm so excited, Lord, You have a plan for me. I have been made for You, so that the plan I do Will bring You glory, Lord, in all that I pursue. I'm so excited, You have a plan, a plan for me. "If God accepts us, what difference does it make in light of eternity, whether anyone else does or not." "God has promised to shine a lamp on our feet for the moment, and a light down the path for our future." "Feelings aside, for God is inside!" "The image of Christ should be reflected through us." "We plant Kingdom seeds in our lives, then let God cultivate and grow them." "If you don't believe it, it's hard to receive it!" "If God says so, what is the extreme of what He says? IT IS SO!" "Every disease that has been healed, has been healed by God." "God wants the best for you, and only He knows completely what that is." "A pill or shot taken for sickness seems proper, but the healing Word of God declared seems weird!" "Don't use the term 'The Will of God' to keep you from walking in the faith of experiencing it!" "God's best for you is better than your best for you." "To be in a tough situation with God is better than having it easy without Him." "God's Word is His will to heal." "Many Christians live their lives as though they were dead, being confined to life in a tomb. If you are in Christ, you left the tomb with Him!" When life is hard to understand with all the pain that it demands There is someone that sees me through and gently leads in all I do It is Christ the Lord who heals the pain with love and comfort through His name It is Christ the Lord who holds me close and to His glory I will boast "God uses the natural to show the super-natural." "God uses the weak to dumbfound the strong." "The fruit of the Spirit is experienced in our emotions." "When God restores, it is beyond what it was." "When abundant life is not experienced, something needs restored." "It is not what or how much you know, but rather how you live from what you know." "I can see beyond my eyes, as faith in God opens the skies." "An inner change cannot be hidden." The time is here for worshipping our Father The time is here for kneeling to the Son With words of praise our voices join together A sacrifice that joins us all as one "A tree that is cut down, for all practical purposes, is dead. So it is with us... our flesh is dead and is not rooted." "Health is wealth." "His birthday gave us a birthday!" "You cannot Redo the past. You can Renew your mind!" "If truth is not perceived, the lie is believed." "Jesus is God's investment in you. You are God's investment in the world." "You are God's temple and His treasures are inside of you." "Only God can produce Something from Nothing." Let Him break you Let Him make you And mold you anew For He is the Lord And knows what is best for you "Abiding in Jesus can be a constant state of awareness of His presence." "Abiding in Jesus has nothing to do with your ability, but everything to do with your availability." "If we are still experiencing the effects of the Big Bang, we are not evolving, but devolving!" "My soul is the bridge between my spirit and my body" "In order to worship God in spirit, you must believe in what you cannot see." "You can see evidence of God through His creation, but His Spirit is seen only by faith." "All are in the race of life, and all will complete the race of life, but not all will win the Crown of Life." "Every obstacle is an opportunity to complain or conquer." "When you become accustomed to someone, it is easy to overlook them." "You can perish with WRONG VISION. You can perish with NO VISION. But you live with GOD'S VISION." "Sin is like a disease. The only cure is a blood transfusion from Christ." "God's Word is the hub of faith." "Carnal Christian... Someone who has not allowed their relationship with God to affect their mind and body." "How sad to be born with a talent and no desire to use it." "God's responsibility is to grow. Our responsibility is to sow." "God's light restores sight." "To the child of God, death is but an open door that leads to a more conscience presence of God." "The process of birth is a journey unto itself... once it ends, the journey of life begins." "I don't think we can be closer to the throne of God than we are at this moment. I believe the earth dimension, with all it's light filter and veils, simply limits the experience of seeing it!" Our minds can transmit our thoughts millions of miles away and receive God's message." "God does not lead His children to DEAD ENDS! You are alive and will be forever!" "Why wait till tomorrow, when God has given you today!" "You have the right to be wrong. And God has the right to correct you." "If you can't see God's love... your eyes are closed." "Tomorrow is never now!" "The past won't last." "There are two images I have of myself... one is in my mind, and the other is in my mirror!" "God's kind of love gives and forgives." "Spending time is easy... making time is impossible!" "What you think is important... especially when words follow." "Put thought behind every word you say. Then you are more likely to be THOUGHT-FULL." "Time is omnipresent. We are not." "What can you do that time can't? STOP." "How can you pass time? You can't. If you could you would be in the future!" "Every EXIT is an ENTRANCE and every ENTRANCE is an EXIT! "Speaking the truth works best when you know it!" "Speak the truth with integrity, not as a weapon for revenge!" "Weather men are not prophets. Their forecasts are often wrong!" "The right words are wrong, if not from the heart!" "The fact is_ God's earthly children are in His presence now." "Critiquing is often used as a means to criticize!"
