### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Attention to the things that matter. Somebody look at your neighbor and say, pay attention to the things that matter. Stop worrying about stuff that's out of your control. Say this, say God is big enough to handle everybody's problems at once and He don't need you. Are y'all hearing that? Are you catching that? Because it gets us off point, it gets us off focus, it gets us out of place." [01:37:19]
2. "When you get a word from the Lord that resonates in your spirit, there should be an attitude that resonates in your spirit of expectancy. Prophet Ron is here today. When Prophet Ron tells me and my wife something, when he tells us something by the Spirit of the Lord, we start praying about it, we start looking for it, we get excited about it because we know that God honors His word. Is anybody in this room today?" [01:28:58]
3. "I don't really believe that we ever come to church because we don't leave church because we are the church. And I believe we have to walk in that anointing everywhere we go. When you walk in the store, the church just walked in the store. When you walked into your office at work, the church just walked into your office. That's why atmospheres should change. That's why attitudes should change. That's why people should look at you and either hate you or love you." [01:40:14]
4. "If I'm not talking to you about Jesus, I'm not talking to you about the right stuff. If our conversation isn't about God, then we're having the wrong conversation. If I'm not talking to you about the goodness of Jesus and what He's done for me, then we're having a different conversation. One that I don't want to be a part of because that leads down to another place where you end up worshiping gods that are other than Jesus." [01:48:58]
5. "You know, Adrian, we need a good old-fashioned baptism of the Holy Ghost in here. We just need to quit worrying about a lot of stuff that ain't ours to worry about. We need to let it go. We need to let it go. We got children to raise. We got work to do. We got people to save. We got 20,000 people that we've made contact with over here in the storehouse." [01:50:36]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Jesus is just about to return to His Father and He calls His disciples around. He tells them, go ahead and take Me out and I'm gonna do the rest. Go to Jerusalem. He said, here's what I want you to do. I want you to wait for what I'm about to release. I want you to wait for what the Father is about to release." [01:37:19]
2. "There is something that's got to shift in this house and the only way it shifts in this house is that it shifts in me, it shifts in you, it shifts in you, it shifts in you, it shifts in you, it shifts in all of us together until we come into one mind. Come on, somebody say one mind. Say one place. Say one accord. Say waiting. You say power. Yeah, that's what we're looking for." [01:38:43]
3. "When you read the word, don't just read the word, let the word read you because it is a discerner of your thoughts and the intents of your heart. So it will read you as well as you read it. But I want to just ask you a question, how many of you like to stand in line? Well, I got three people that just kind of smiled. Anybody like to stand in line? No." [01:22:33]
4. "To wait upon Him is to engage in the process. To wait upon Him is to engage with what the word is already saying. To wait upon Him is to engage in what God is trying to do in the moment. To go ahead and get in there. You can't swim until you get in the river. And everybody wants to swim but nobody wants to get in the river. You gotta get in the river. You gotta get in the water. You gotta get in the flow." [01:30:32]
5. "The promise was this, that they were going to receive power. The word power in, I know many of you have heard this many times, this is not new to you, but it's dunamis which implies that this is power that will come to you that will give you the ability. Power that gives you ability. Ability for what? Ability to perform miracles, ability to have new strength, ability to perform mighty works, the ability to run and not grow weary, the ability to walk and not faint." [01:43:47]
6. "If you ask God earnestly for everything that He has got for you, and you seek Him and you position yourself in a place to receive, I promise you He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost because the Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost as a rushing mighty wind. And guess what? He never left. Somebody say He's still here. Stand with me. He's still here. He's still here." [01:56:00]
7. "When you seek me, I will find you. When you call for me, you will be saved. When you call upon the Lord, all who call upon the Lord will be saved. I wonder if anybody in here would just take a chance right now and just lift your hands and begin to call upon the Lord. You say, I've been saved for 40 years. Go ahead and let Him save you all over again today." [01:58:17]
8. "We need to be of one mind. Those kind of songs, we're hungry for you, I'm desperate for you, I'm needing you, you are holy forever God, the church is alive. When Shana was singing that, I said, God, we're breathing today. We're breathing today. We're breathing today. We're breathing. God, let the church breathe today. Let the church and breathe on us, Holy Spirit, so we can breathe what you are breathing." [01:42:13]
