TD Jakes Quotes on Faith: 10 Memorable Statements From Christian Evangelist

Faith is the cornerstone of the church and Christian evangelist T.D. Jakes makes plenty of references to that cornerstone in his sermons. His love of the Lord goes back as far as he can remember. As a young boy, he carried a Bible preaching to imaginary people.

Today, Jakes shares his faith with thousands at his non-denominational megachurch, "The Potter's House." Here are some of Jakes most memorable quotes on faith:

1. "Each day is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to him."

5. "I'm not walking by sight — I'm walking by faith."

6. "You have to recognize as troubles and trials and tests come into your life you have to recognize that there is a God who sits high and looks low and has all power and has all power in his hand, and if you want to communicate with the divine, you do it by faith."
