DeVon Franklin Quotes

Don't downgrade your dream to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny.

The truth is you and I are in control of only two things - how we prepare for what might happen and how we respond to what just happened. The moment when things actually do happen belongs to God.

If I embrace who I am it will open doors not shut them. If your faith won't fit in the door that opens then I argue do not walk through that door. The door that God has opened for you will fit your faith.

When you get something that you don't work for, you won't know how to value or maintain it.

Anything you pray for, you need to prepare for.

I know from my own experiences that if you will put your career in God's hands and trust him, you can't account for all the ways he will bless you. When you step out in faith, he will open doors and bring you opportunities that will surpass even your wildest expectations. . . . If I have learned anything, it's this: to get where you want to go, you first have to become the person God wants you to be.

Not only is your story your truth, your story is going to be the platform and the foundation for everything that's getting ready to happen in your life.

To get where you want to go, you first have to become who God wants you to be.

Anything you don't water, anything you don't take care of in your life, is going to die.

I define success as a deep sense of peace, and we find the most peace when we live out our true calling and fulfill the purpose we were created for. History is filled with examples of people who had an abundance of material possessions but no peace because no matter how much stuff you have, there's not enough money in the world to fill the hole in your soul.

Don't abandon what makes you who you are. Don't give up hope.

Commit to a career built on sacrifice, not compromise.

No matter what you watch, it has an impact. So, why not use this medium to bring great stories to millions of people around the world with the goal of not only entertaining them but inspiring them. That's what motivates me. That's why I get up every day.

Trust the gifts that God has placed within you.

Is your integrity at the level of the thing you are praying for?

Don't take shortcuts; if I want to be true to my beliefs, then shortcuts do not exist.

God has an extraordinary destiny in mind for you, as he does for all of us. God will never bring you an opportunity before you're ready to make the most of it, and the career world demands that you prove yourself. So, before you can lead, you have to serve. Service often has a negative connotation. We want to be the one at the top, calling the shots, making the decisions, and getting the glory.

If your faith won't fit in the door that opens, then I argue do not walk through that door.

So my hope and prayer is that people will be impacted by the realization that miracles are everywhere and that God uses them to communicate to us that we're not alone, and that we do have help.

Just because you may not see this big, grand show or you may not fall down a tree and all of a sudden get miraculously healed, that doesn't mean the miraculous isn't all around you.

Keeping your family together is an extraordinary feat - especially in the face of great conflict.

Every production is by faith, every single one. You can't do it unless you have faith because one, you never know if it's going to work, and two, if you aren't compelled and you aren't passionate, then you can't convince the studio to give you millions of dollars to make a movie and then spend millions more to market it.
