Well, thank you for joining me today in enjoying everyday life. How many of us don’t want to do that? We all want to enjoy every single day of our lives because I was abused in my childhood. I never really got to be a child, and I really didn’t even [...]

Do you realize that Adam and Eve gave up paradise for an apple? Wow. I wonder what we give up paradise for sometimes. Yeah. Elijah was not a perfect man, yet he prayed and had dramatic results. He prayed, and it didn’t rain for six months, and then [...]

Every time you thank God for something, you’re praying. That’s prayer. That’s what I mean when I say that sometimes you may be praying more than you think you are. Then there are prayers of petition, and probably that is the prayer that is prayed [...]

Well, thank you for joining me today on Enjoying Everyday Life. I pray that because you watched the program today, you will enjoy your day better than you would have if you hadn’t watched. I’m going to talk about prayer today. It’s what I talked [...]

You might think, well, if it’s what God wants you to do, won’t He give you the strength and energy? Well, you have not because you ask not. And I think that the more people who ask, the more powerful that prayer becomes because the Bible talks about [...]

I can’t give you any assurance of salvation if you’re reading this and thinking, «Nope, nope, nope, that’s not good, that’s not good.» Now, what I will say is, and I say this frequently, you don’t have to have these things down perfectly, just [...]

Your real identity is that you’re created in righteousness and true holiness. You’re a new creation in Christ. You are in Christ. Can I have a good amen, all right? «What does it mean to be in Christ, Pastor Prince»? That means there was a man who [...]

The whole reason that Jesus came and died for us on the cross, for our sins, so that sin is no more the subject between you and God. It’s a closed issue. So when God deals with you, he wants you to know he’s not looking at you with all your faults. [...]

I always want you to come expecting, come prepared, come ready to receive, amen? And sometimes, you know, people, they are so religious and our natural inclination is to be religious. When Adam sinned against God, Adam actually covered himself with [...]

God is a good God. God is a generous God. God wants to see your life prosper in every way, amen? You know, regardless of how unpopular it is, you know, to hear the word «prosperity» in some circles, the Bible is full of it. The Bible says that, 3 [...]

Of all the sins that Jesus publicly rebukes and exposes in the Gospels, it is not, you know, he never, you can never read anywhere, he rebuked the tax collectors, the social outcasts, the prostitutes of his day. You cannot find anywhere in the [...]

Now listen to this odd verse: First Kings 14:12–13: I found this thought; I’ve never read it like that in my life. «Arise therefore, and go to Jeroboam’s wife. Get to your house; when your feet enter the city, the child shall die. And all of Israel [...]

I want to talk to you today about «He’ll Do It Again.» We’ve all seen God work in our lives, open a door we couldn’t open, bring great people across our path, or turn a situation around. We know it was His hand of favor. It’s good to look back and [...]

I want to talk to you today about over-and-above blessings. When you have a generous spirit, you’re always doing more than what’s required. You stay late to help that co-worker who’s struggling, you take that elderly neighbor dinner at night, you [...]

I want to talk to you today about thanking God before you see the promise. We all have things we’re believing for: to accomplish a dream, to meet the right person, for our health to turn around. And we prayed, we believed, we stood in faith, but it [...]

I want to talk to you today about «Mountains Turn to Molehills.» We’ve all heard the phrase «Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.» That’s someone overreacting and making a big deal out of something small. But there are times in life when we face [...]

I want to talk to you today about invisible enemies. We all have things coming against us: people not treating us right, dealing with an illness, or a child causing heartache. We look in the world and see wrongs, injustice, and evil. It’s easy to [...]
