Why should I apologize because God throws in crystal chandeliers, mahogany floors, and the best construction in the world?
Jim Bakker

You can’t fake it when you’re alone with God, you know.
Jim Bakker

And God knows I needed to be forgiven. So I had to forgive everybody. And then God – as I read in the word, you’re supposed to pray for your enemies. Try that one on.
Jim Bakker

It’s not listed in the Bible, but my spiritual gift, my specific calling from God, is to be a television talk-show host.
Jim Bakker

Most of you are so young you don’t know who I am, and that’s good.
Jim Bakker

Oh, I was never a businessman. I was a visionary, a dreamer.
Jim Bakker

So you can’t lose serving God, and that all things work together for good.

The box got bigger, the outside, the buildings. And all that we were doing. I had to raise about $1 million every two days just to stay alive.
Jim Bakker

I don’t know, examination I guess. And then they put the jump suit back on me again. I went through the compound – I remember somebody shouting, Jim don’t let them break you.
Jim Bakker

As I see with Lori’s testimony, you say what good could come out of all these abortions and all what she’s been through? But she has been a part of a new Bible for women, a mentoring Bible.
Jim Bakker

God’s forgiveness is the only thing. And, well, I take full responsibility for the adultery. It was my fault and, you know, no matter what went on, the man has to take responsibility; and I do.
Jim Bakker

I called the doctor, during writing the book, the psychiatrist who treated me at that time, Dr. Jackson. And I said, Dr. Jackson, whole pieces are missing. I don’t understand what happened to me.
Jim Bakker

They put chains on me; they chained my waist, my legs. Put me in the back of a squad car, and I literally blacked out. I didn’t even – there’s whole pieces missing.
Jim Bakker

When I first went to prison, I was even questioning where, God, where are you?
Jim Bakker

You know, I try not to look back, because looking forward is so much better than looking backward.
Jim Bakker

My dream became bigger and bigger. And the box got bigger than the message, than the Gospel.
