#NewBeginnings
“He enters in and that old stuff is just like... And he could recount it, but he's not gonna relive it. So he can say, look, just so we're clear, I've gone through all this. But whatever I consider to value, I consider it but loss. It's dung. It's nothing. So the question always comes. It's holding you back from entering into a new beginning. If it's holding you back from entering fully into the rest, then you can't walk out a new beginning, but for more than a few moments. Does this make sense? I'd never thought about the fact how contingent a new beginning is on rest. And so this, how do you enter in to that thing? How do you enter to the rest? And then how do you remain?”

“And if a church is gonna be built as God wants it to be in to be built, it will not be by our might, our human might. It will not be by our power, human power. It will be by his spirit. And the reason for it is simple. Without him, we're nothing. Well, sometimes we forget that. Without Jesus, we're nothing. And folks, I hate to say it, but listen to me. I hope you hear my heart. Without Jesus in the church, the church is nothing.”

#SpiritLed
“To get hold of a new beginning and to actually let it take, you have to stay in the rest. You have to start in the spirit and stay in the spirit. Because the problem is, this is a problem with a lot of churches and a lot of things. Oh, we get a vision. We're gonna do this. Great. And as soon as they get that, it becomes a project. And as soon as it's a project, you start getting a lot of other principles around how it should work. Now bear in mind, I was a businessman for twenty five years. I love business. Okay? I love figuring out solutions. But when you're trying to do something for God, you gotta make sure all of that is submitted under what he says and how he says to move it. As soon as you start taking it back, then you start building something great. Oh, it's great. It's big. It's tall. It's badass. And God's like, okay. I didn't authorize that.”

#SovereignGrace
“I don't know how many years I've been... That's one part of what I pray. I pray it to him. I'm not I'm not saying these are principles. I'm thanking him for all these things. Okay? But it's making it very clear how lost I was, what I was due, and yet, by his sovereign choice, he brought me an ear. He broke down the wall. He grafted me in, making me alive in a joint air. You set the life of Jesus in me. You've raised and seated me. I mean, hello?”

#WalkByFaith
“Oh, wait a minute. He was... He got out of the boat where he was safe, but when he's moving, though he's walking on the water, he's he's entered fully into the rest. He is totally... He is not worried about trying to to figure out how his feet are gonna balance on the water. He's just doing it, going there. And then the doubt comes up and bonk. To enter the rest, we've gotta be careful and be aware of how we leave.”
27s
#TraumaHealing
“healing and deliverance so that we can recall the events as facts, but not experience them. That's how how working through trauma. You can remember the events, but you don't have to connect... You don't have to relive all the pain with them. And so often that can keep us from entering fully into rest, into the new beginning. God's like, I got something new, but you keep trying to come in here with this.”
39s
#BodyOfChrist
“Salvation came in the face of judgment. The ark brought them into the new world. You you getting this? There's all sorts of other things that went back from long ago in terms of church fathers and mothers in terms of what they wrote. One talked about that the ark really represents today the church, not as in First Methodist or United Baptist or anything else, but the body of Christ. That it's only by being joined in in the body by which that we're we're we're shielded from things. Okay? There's community.”

#LetGoAndLetGod
“How about old crap that keeps in there? What wounds and resentments and unforgiveness are keeping you from entering into the rest of God? We keep rehearsing the old stuff again and again and again and again again. It's like, many times you're gonna bring that thing up again? Let it go. We prophesy, folks. Be careful what you're critiquing. You're speaking it into existence sometimes. Kingdoms are look... Work by agreement.”

#FaithOverFear
“Paul warns us this, anything not done in faith is sin. That's a freak out verse if you want it. Right? But see, don't make faith harder than it is. Faith is simply trusting him. It's just so, okay. I'm not gonna be this way or respond that way because I'm gonna trust he's got it. He's gonna work it out. I'm not gonna freak out because I know he can work all things together for good. I don't I don't think he started that, but he can work it for good.”

#FreshAnointing
“The the resistance to flow and the stress factor. I believe the Lord is saying that I'm giving you a new anointing that will flow and can handle the red line. Come on now. Can handle the stress factor. There are vehicles that are made to rev up to the... You know what I'm talking about? To the red line, and you don't shift it till you hit that red line. They're made for that. They have the viscosity for that, the oil, the anointing. Come on now. I'm giving you a new anointing for it. It's an anointing to pro... The pioneer. We're anointed for it. It also means fresh as in new.”

Why Valdosta churches are unique
