### Quotes for Outreach

1. "Therefore, listen, don't worry about a thing because every little thing, yeah, don't worry, come on, about a thing because every little thing is going to be all right, be all right, be all right, be all right, be all right. Look at the birds of the air. This is serious stuff because we as believers can be bad, down by so much fear of how am I going to exist if I obey God? How am I going to live?"

2. "There is a kingdom within us that sustains us and keeps us. Look at the birds of the air. They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Do you think you're more valuable than them? Most of us have this inferiority complex in our lives. For whatever reason, we've been rejected by stuff, people, who knows. And so we can spend our whole lives trying to achieve stuff in our own strength and get further and further and further and further into the pain we are trying to get out of."

3. "I didn't have to manipulate, I didn't have to maneuver, over. I didn't have to play my cards right. I didn't have to talk like this because everyone's gay in the industry and I just want them to feel that I'm loved, you know what I'm saying? You know, I'm kind of a hidden Christian, but I just want you to feel my music because, you know, I'm a special person. I didn't have to do that. I didn't have to change me in order to receive what God wanted me to do. He made a way." [32:53](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

4. "It is such an honor to be here again, and this year my family and I, the ministry, are celebrating 25 years full-time in the ministry. And when I say that, it's kind of like, you know, I gave my life to Jesus when I was six, and I've been serving in some capacity actually since I was six years of age. My dad used to go on the streets and preach the gospel. I would follow him downtown into the town squares and share the good news."

Say, the kingdom of God is in me. Say, it's in me. It's within me. Wow, I thought that's incredible. These words were spoken by Jesus at a time in history when the reach of the Roman Empire covered most of the known planet."

He was foretelling of the time when he would physically leave this earth, then the kingdom would live inside all those who would receive him as Lord. Lord and Savior. While he was here, Jesus physically, the kingdom was working through him, around him, everywhere he went. He leaves this earth, and now the kingdom of God lives in all of us. It lives in you. It lives in me." [23:01](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

Say, the kingdom of God is within me. And say, the kingdom of God has its own atmosphere. This atmosphere would enable me to have joy and peace in the middle of cultures and climates I was foreign to. Something I was struggling with in India. This was a game changer."

In a moment, I'm going to ask you, in just a minute, I'm going to ask you to raise your hand if you want to make a stand for God that in your heart from this moment on, you're going to make, you're going to make an effort to seek first His kingdom before everything else."
