Shaila Touchton Quotes Quotes

“God's kingdom is not of this world, yet many have traded eternal riches for earthly wealth. They build grand structures, but neglect the temple of their soul. The pursuit of heavenly treasures is replaced with the pursuit of earthly gain. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy, but many have settled for a kingdom of this world. Let us not be fooled by the temporary riches of this world, but seek the eternal riches that come from above.”

“When churches prioritize profits over people, faith becomes a commodity. Pastors are reduced to businessmen, peddling salvation like a product. The pulpit is replaced with a sales pitch, and the congregation becomes a customer base. The pursuit of wealth overshadows the pursuit of holiness. The church's mission is distorted, and the gospel is compromised. True spirituality is lost in the pursuit of financial gain.”

“If God is for us, who can be against us? With Him on our side, we are unstoppable. No challenge is too great, no obstacle too strong. In His presence, we find courage, strength, and victory. We can face any situation, knowing He is our Rock and our Salvation. With God, we are more than conquerors, and His power and love will see us through." (Romans 8:31)”

“The church building is not mandatory, but the church community is essential. God dwells in the hearts of His people, not just in a physical structure. True worship is not confined to a location, but is a lifestyle of obedience and devotion. Relationship with God and with others is what truly matters, not the physical building. Wherever believers gather in His name, there is church.”

“When God is your priority, family becomes a blessing. Putting God first doesn't mean neglecting family, but rather positioning yourself to receive His best for them. In God's kingdom, relationships are built on His love and principles. When you seek God's kingdom first, He adds value to your relationships, including family. By prioritizing God, you're not putting family second, you're actually setting an example for them to follow.”

“When I am weak, You are my strength (Psalm 59). My shield and my defender, You deliver me from the wicked. You are my Savior, my refuge, and my fortress. I trust in Your word and Your promises, for You are faithful. In times of trouble, I will call upon Your name, and You will answer me. Your mercy and love surround me, and I will trust in You forever.”

“Humility is the foundation of faith, but spiritual pride can be a subtle foe. A humble heart seeks God's truth, while arrogance claims it all. 'Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall' (1 Corinthians 10:12). Pride blinds us to our own flaws while magnifying others'. True wisdom comes from recognizing our need for God. 'Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall' (Proverbs 16:18).”

“A soul consumed by darkness can masquerade as a servant of God, but the fruit of their spirit will reveal their true nature. Behind the mask of piety, a legion of demons can reside, driving them to manipulate and deceive. Their words may be laced with venom, but their heart is a breeding ground for evil. A person's actions are a reflection of their inner world; observe their fruit, not their appearance. The enemy can disguise himself as an angel of light, but his true nature will be exposed. Be cautious of those who claim to speak for God, yet live in bondage to darkness.”

“A man filled with obsession, spirit of jealousy, envy, angriness, argumentative and quarrelsome spirit, lies, manipulation, and mental and psychological issues, has a strong legion of demons within himself, disguising himself as a Christian.”
― Shaila Touchton

“True strength lies not in indulging in temptation, but in resisting it. God's design for our lives is not about deprivation, but about freedom. By choosing purity and obedience, we experience the joy and peace that come from following Him. Don't let the world's values dictate your choices; instead, let God's Word guide you. You are loved, you are valued, and you are worthy of living a life that honors Him.”

“Jesus didn't call us to be comfortable, He called us to be courageous. Let's not be content with sharing the Gospel only with those who already know Him. We must take the light of Christ to the darkest corners of our world. In a world that desperately needs hope, let's be the ones who bring it. By sharing the Good News with unbelievers, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing life-changing truth to be shared.”

“When God anoints you, Satan often uses spiritually weak or compromised individuals to attack you. But don't be discouraged - God's anointing is greater than any attack. Stay focused on your calling and trust in God's protection. Remember, Jesus was also attacked by those who didn't understand His mission. Keep your eyes fixed on God and His Word, and don't let the enemy's tactics bring you down. You are a child of God, and His power is within you. Stand firm and don't give up!”

“A pastor-centered church builds a following, but a Christ-centered church builds disciples. In a pastor-centered church, the focus is on man; in a Christ-centered church, the focus is on God. A pastor-centered church exalts the leader, while a Christ-centered church exalts Jesus. When the pastor is the center, the congregation is limited; when Christ is the center, the congregation is limitless. Let us ensure our churches point people to Jesus, not to men.”
― Shaila Touchton

“Some people may forget your kindness, but that's not a reflection of your worth. Ungrateful hearts often reveal more about themselves than about those who've helped them. Don't let their forgetfulness diminish your generosity or kindness. Keep shining your light, and let God be your reward. Your good deeds are seen by a Heavenly Father who remembers every act of kindness.”

As the ultimate authority, it stands above human traditions and opinions, guiding us toward truth and wisdom. In its pages, we find the answers to life's deepest questions and the hope of eternal life.”

“God's Word is powerful and effective, never returning void or without fruit. It accomplishes what God desires and achieves the purpose for which it was sent. When God's Word is spoken, it brings life, hope, and transformation. His promises are yes and amen, and His Word stands forever. God's Word is our foundation, our guide, and our strength, and it will always produce the desired outcome.”

“Drift is indeed the devil's playground, where lives are tossed about by the waves of circumstance. But goal, vision, and purpose are the anchors of God's design, securing our future and guiding us towards destiny. When we prioritize God's plan, we navigate life's challenges with purpose and clarity. Without a clear goal and vision, we're susceptible to the devil's tactics, but with God as our guide, we triumph over drift. By fixing our eyes on God's vision, we resist the devil's attempts to steer us off course.”

“Jesus is the Word of God, who became flesh and dwelled among humans, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). As the Word, Jesus embodies God's message, wisdom, and salvation, revealing God's character and plan for humanity.”

“Jesus' sacrifice is the ultimate demonstration of God's love for humanity. It's a powerful reminder that we are valued, loved, and forgiven. Through His sacrifice, we can experience forgiveness, freedom, and a restored relationship with God. May we be filled with gratitude and devotion to our Savior. His love changes everything.”

“When you confront a mocker or rebuke a wicked person, expect resistance and retaliation. The wise man says, 'Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you' (Proverbs 9:8). The heart of the foolish will cling to its folly, and 'a reproof enters deeper into a wise man than a hundred lashes into the heart of a fool' (Proverbs 18:2, 27:22). Be cautious, yet persistent, in correcting those who err, for some will 'not listen to the words of the wise, but whoever listens to reproof gets wisdom' (Proverbs 12:1).”
― Shaila Touchton

“Giving is a matter of the heart, not obligation. Jesus taught us to give with love and generosity, not out of compulsion. He never emphasized tithing as a requirement for salvation, instead focusing on faith, love, and kindness. God looks at the heart, not the amount, so whether it's 10% or a small act, what matters most is the attitude and intention behind our giving. Let's shift our focus from obligation to generosity, trusting in God's provision and giving freely and cheerfully, knowing He'll supply all our needs according to His riches in glory.”

“God doesn't care about your seminary degrees or theological pride; He cares about your humility and heart. What's precious to Him is not your Greek or Hebrew knowledge, but your willingness to be taught by the Holy Spirit. He desires a life aligned with His Word, not a puffed-up ego. True biblical knowledge is not just about head knowledge, but about living a life surrendered to God. What God values most is a humble heart, obedient to His will.”

“Heavenly Father, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your favor and guidance as I pursue employment and financial provision. I declare that Your favor rests upon me, and You establish the work of my hands.

Lord, I ask that You grant me success and provide for my needs according to Your riches in glory. Cancel my debts and loans, and provide for my financial needs. I commit my plans and desires to You, trusting that You will direct my steps.

I declare that the blessing of the Lord brings wealth without sorrow, and my God meets all my needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. The favor of the Lord rests upon me, and He establishes the work of my hands. Whatever I do, I do it heartily as for the Lord, and I trust that He will bring me success.

I seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and I trust that all these things will be added unto me. My Lord gives me the ability to produce wealth, and I will not be lacking. The Lord will accomplish what concerns me, and I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

I commit my plans to the Lord, and He establishes them. Instead of shame, I receive a double portion of blessings. The Lord blesses me more and more, and I am blessed coming in and going out. Wealth and riches are in my house, and my righteousness endures forever.

The Lord opens the floodgates of heaven and pours out blessings upon me, and I am filled with good things, and I lack nothing. The steps of my life are ordered by the Lord, and though I may stumble, I will not fall.

I declare that I am blessed, and I will prosper. I am favored by God, and I will see good things in my life. Thank You, Lord, for Your provision and guidance. I trust in Your goodness and love. Amen.”

“I'm trusting in God's promise that He's my Provider and that He works everything for my good. As Psalm 37:25 says, 'I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.' And in Psalm 37:5, 'Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will do it.' I'm holding onto these truths, knowing that He'll guide me through this season and provide for me and my loved ones.”

“Satan takes what's good and twists it to serve his dark purposes. Halloween, once a celebration of harvest and life, has been perverted to honor darkness and evil. This is the nature of the antichrist, opposing all that is good and holy. God's light shines bright, but Satan's darkness seeks to corrupt and distort. In the end, truth is distorted, and evil masquerades as good.”
― Shaila Touchton

“Whoever is not of God denies Jesus. Those who belong to God are known by their love for Jesus and their obedience to His Word. Jesus Himself said, 'If anyone does not love me, he does not obey my word.' Those who deny Jesus demonstrate their spiritual lineage, revealing that they are not of God. The true test of one's spiritual family is their attitude toward Jesus Christ.”

“The Bible cautions against listening to or following the counsel of liars and wicked individuals, as it can lead to corruption, deception, and spiritual darkness. Surrounding ourselves with such influences can compromise our commitment to God's truth and righteousness, and even enable sinful behavior. Passages like Psalm 1:1, Proverbs 1:10-19, and 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 warn us to be discerning and avoid the influence of those who lead others astray. Instead, we should seek godly counsel and surround ourselves with people who uphold truth and righteousness, holding each other accountable for our actions and staying committed to God's ways.”

“Immodesty reaches for attention and approval, often trading dignity for applause.
Modesty, rooted in quiet confidence, honors beauty without exposing it and lets character speak first.
In the end, one seeks validation from people, while the other reflects self-respect and reverence before God.”

“Anyone who injures a wife deserves the harshest condemnation and consequences, as violence against anyone, especially a spouse, is unacceptable”
