Warren Ballentine famous quotes

What I pray for is the spirit of humbleness, and, the spirit of me doing what God is asking me to do - not what I individually want to do. So, if I'm making a "politically incorrect" statement to the masses - this is what God put in me.

You can't be afraid to speak the truth. If you're speaking truthfully - no matter if you're White, Black, Hispanic, Asian - if it's the truth, it's the truth! And if that's what you're telling, you have no reason to be fearful, or, worry about people trying to diffuse what you're doing. Because, if you're speaking the truth, they can't beat the truth.

I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.

Can I cut off your head?" "Are you asking for my permission?

What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do it.

Today I am in control because I want to be. I have my fingers on the switch, but have lived a lifetime ignoring the control I have over my own world. Today is different.

Our society covers these problems with a veil. All I want is an open discussion

One of the special marks of the Holy Ghost in the Apostolic Church was the spirit of boldness.

Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.

We can express our worship to God in many ways. But if we love the Lord and are led by His Holy Spirit, our worship will always bring a delighted sense of admiring awe and a sincere humility on our part.
