### Quotes for Outreach

1. "It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So today I want to paint this portrait or reveal the blueprints. And Jesus was a master at doing this. He was always illustrating things from heaven with an earthly story, using metaphors and parables and similes and even an occasional story or what we would call an allegory. So Jesus used examples from both home life, including yeast, spreading in the bread dough, sewing patches on old cloth, storing new wine and old wine skins. He also used nature, commerce, interpersonal relationships, farming. He was great at using farming to paint pictures in the minds of all of his listeners."

2. "So today I want you to understand God never breaks his side. He'll always do his part. But what we've got to do is make sure we do our part to receive the fullness of what God wants to do in our life." [44:07](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

3. "The sacrifice was to be perfect. The sacrifice, listen to me, the thing that was being sacrificed was to be perfect, meaning it was to be, that represents the word holy. It was to be without spot, blemish, or wrinkle, so to speak. So in other words, you didn't have the opportunity to give God second best. You always gave God your very best. This is called consecration now. Now, so this is what he wants, listen to me, not, listen, he doesn't want your animals, he wants you. That's where the sacrifice comes today. This is the consecration. Instead of animals, we're called to offer ourselves." [46:09](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

### Quotes for Members

1. "Sanctification always has two parts. It's a dying to self and it's alive to Christ. It's set apart from sin. The negative pushes sin out of your life. The positive draws you close to God. Today, my goal is to help you understand practically how God wants to work in your life, how he'll do his part. If you'll do your part, if you'll consecrate and crucify, he'll cleanse, he'll cleanse, he'll cleanse, and he'll feel, but he can't feel what has not been cleansed. Are you hearing me today?"

2. "Consecration precedes sanctification. Let this get in. Let this get in your head. Consecration comes first. Our part comes first. Let me say it this way. God's already done his part. But we can't receive it until we do our part. The power's there. The plug is energized. Are you with me? But you've got to get the plug into the receptacle to receive what God wants to do in your life. Consecration is our part. Sanctification is God's part. That's where this dual role works together. And when they meet together, I'm going to just say it this way, it's electrifying in your life. That's what happens when God supernaturally supercharges your life."

3. "Paul is clear here that we are now called to offer ourselves not as dead animal sacrifices, but as human, living sacrifices to God. This is our total consecration. Again, let me say it for clarity. Consecration precedes sanctification. Consecration comes first. Consecration is our part. That's what we do. We're called to place ourselves on the altar of God. Genesis 22 is a good example. that Abraham with Isaac, before God would move, Abraham had to put Isaac on the altar first, and then God moved. We see this over and over in Scripture. Consecration is giving to God our everything. That means our time, our talents, our thoughts, our money, our reputation, our family, our hopes, our dreams, our future, and then climbing on top of all of that and simply saying, I surrender all, leaving nothing out of the equation."

4. "For we know that our old self was crucified with who? With Christ, so that the body, we will not be ruled by sin. That's the unruly right there. You are ruled by sin. When you, before you were born again, and after you were born again, let me tell you, God has a process by which he will take you through, amen. And I'm gonna deal with the degrees of it next week, so don't get twisted up on me about teaching sanctification. I promise ya, I'm gonna get there and I'm gonna get it all in the biblical context of our doctrine here. shortly but there's a process that he carries for us why was the body ruled by sin listen that it might be why crucified so that it might be done away with this is good news for us today you know how i know i've experienced it but you know better yet because his word is filled with it you don't have to live like you used to live anymore you don't have to get up with a guilty conscience in the morning amen you don't have to worry because you're living oh my goodness that we should no longer watch this this is a powerful word right here that we should no longer be slaves to sin look at your neighbor and tell him you can be free today you can be free today you can be free today in jesus name it's so liberating this work of sanctification it's so liberating it's so liberating it's so liberating it's so liberating it's so liberating it's so liberating it's so liberating all the baggage you bring along behind you that the ropes are still hanging everywhere you go sanctification just reaches back there and cuts them all loose hallelujah glory to god" [01:03:22](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

5. "This is an illustration or image that I offer to you to etch into your mind for clarity. It's a picture of total consecration. And hear me well and hear me good today. Consecration precedes sanctification. Let this get in. Let this get in your head. Consecration comes first. Our part comes first. Let me say it this way. God's already done his part. But we can't receive it until we do our part. The power's there. The plug is energized. Are you with me? But you've got to get the plug into the receptacle to receive what God wants to do in your life. Consecration is our part. Sanctification is God's part. That's where this dual role works together. And when they meet together, I'm going to just say it this way, it's electrifying in your life. That's what happens when God supernaturally supercharges your life."
