Quotes
1. "I'm just telling you right now, God is saithing to us, you put a demand upon that anointing of the prophetess. I do not bring in people with the same gift that I have. One of the reasons you hardly ever have heard of me bringing in a healing evangelist is because healing is such a vital part of our ministry and always has been. But I look for those of prophets and prophets and prophets as that have a gift that I don't have. She carries something that I don't carry, but I will tell you right now before she leaves here, I will partake of it." - 32:20
2. "In all things we know that we are more than conquerors. Keep us by your love. Keep us by your love. How high? How wide? No matter where I stand, healing is in your hands. How deep? How strong? Now by your grace I stand. Healing is in your hands." - 20:50
3. "When I walked away and I want to be so careful because I don't want to instill fear, but I am coming against the spirit of death concerning you. Because it's tracked the family and it would come for you in whatever form it can succeed. And so you have to cut that thing off with your faith in the name of Jesus and people that know you and love you can use their authority too, but ultimately it's you." - 50:28
4. "This coming year is a year of confrontation. 2024 is in the hebraic means the year of a door or gate. Now, hell knows that too. And so it's going to fight you for every door that God would try to open for you and you're going to have to be close enough and listen enough to God to know how to handle the confrontations for the successes and the prospering of you spiritually and emotionally." - 52:46
5. "I have to believe for a Saturday night you're here on purpose. I have to believe that you're not just here fulfilling a social obligation, and that it's purposeful. And so I believe you're coming with an expectation of some measure. And that will only get greater as we move along in the service, because that's how Holy Spirit would do things." - 40:02
