[00:12:54]
"Most of our ceilings are mental strongholds of the mind the way we think do you remember that somebody called Gideon in the Bible the wrong thinking the wrong thinking in Judges 6 when the angel of the Lord appeared to him and salutes him in Judges 6 and he says mighty man of valor he said mighty man of valor who are you greeting who are you talking to mighty man of valor the Lord is with me look at all that's going on in our land look at us we are oppressed."

From the first nurse who became a professor of nursing. That one woman who refused to be limited about where she came from. Are you limited about where you come from? Turn to your ass. Some people are not getting this. Are you limited about your background? Is your background limiting you? Is your family limiting you? Don't you know what family you belong to? The family, the household of God. The family of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the name, the family name is Jesus. That's why my name is Tony Jesus. Hallelujah." [00:15:01]

I am breaking through this guaranteed national death sentence for a salvation that doesn't even belong to me." [00:32:25]
"This woman now said just promise me as I have hidden you. When you take and destroy Jericho you will not only protect me. She reached out for salvation for her family members.

"This was an importunate mother. That is, she was not about to give up. Hey, the stubbornness of this woman. She was like the importunate widow of Luke 18, that that she tired out that judge. The judge that did not regard God and did not regard man. He had no respect for God, and he had no respect for for human beings, but because this woman would not let him rest he had to give her justice so this gentile mother hey then she was the more determined that her daughter should be free than the devil was determined to keep her daughter bound so what did she do we read about her in Matthew 15."
