### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Have you ever been to that place, that moment, that time when you desire something so much just like you long for it, you desire it? And then when you know it's coming to pass, I guess you say obtain it. The word talks about it: hunger and thirst after me. I mean true hunger, true thirst. I don't know about you, I know what thirsty is, I know what hunger is. But what's righteousness? It doesn't matter what any devil, what any government, what anybody does, cannot separate you from the love of Jesus. Nothing can separate it. Nothing." [23:24]
2. "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and I will be glad in it. For this is my receiving day because I'm gonna walk by faith and not by sight. I'm gonna be a place where God is seen and love is felt and lives are changed in Jesus' name. How am I gonna do that? I'm gonna reach up, reach in, and reach out. I'm gonna do that every day." [24:36]
3. "So even though today is Pentecost Sunday, I'm here to tell you, you can have Pentecost every day. Every day is a Pentecost day. You say, well, what is Pentecost? Well, if you wanna get in the theological and the historical, the history side of it, and the definition side of it, Pentecost means 50." [24:52]
4. "God's timing is perfect timing, but you got to put your faith with your corresponding action and praise God. We sowed into paying for someone to sleep in a bed and the Lord's going to direct our steps. I go to God in prayer and say, 'Lord, direct us on what to do in this situation,' and He shows us exactly what to do, exactly when to call." [01:26:50]
5. "When we're united in spirit and believing, it's a heavenly language. That's from God. And it's pure. And I think when we all get to heaven, what language are we going to speak? Heavenly language. Then I know that the Bible says on earth as it is in heaven. Come on. As on earth as it is in heaven. And if they're speaking in heaven, baby, we speaking in unity on earth. So why do we got to wait to get to heaven to speak in unity?" [51:25]
### Quotes for Members
1. "For forty days, these people followed Jesus in a glorified, resurrected body. I want you to grab hold of this. They just saw Jesus, their salvation, their savior, their messiah, crucified. And they saw him raised. And they walked with him and talked with him for forty days. Then you read the scripture and he said, 'All right, it's time for me to go.' And it says, the Bible says, and he ascended back into heaven." [28:03]
2. "I know they prayed the will of the Father. I know they prayed the father's because the Bible says, and we're going to read the next two, it says, and they were all in what? One accord. Not some Ford, not some Chevy, but they were in a what? An accord. I think a Honda is a Chevy." [30:40]
3. "But you're not going to believe the Holy Spirit can fill you. You're missing a piece of the puzzle, guys. When I hear people say, well, the Holy Spirit was just for that one time in Acts 2, up in that upper room. And we're going to read it again. Acts 2, it says, hey, and the Holy Spirit came upon them. And it came in like a mighty wind, like a tornado. Some of us kind of went through a tornado last week and the week before. We know the sound of that. And they were all filled. They were filled with the Holy Spirit. And they said 3,000 was saved." [33:56]
4. "And when the apostles were at Jerusalem, heard that the Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John, who when they came down, prayed for them that they might receive what? The Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit. For as yet he was fallen upon none of them, only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost." [56:40]
5. "Then 24 years later, in Acts 19, Paul's talking to the disciples and said, 'Hey, did you not receive Jesus?' Oh, yeah. He said, 'How about the Holy Spirit, huh?' What? In fact, Acts 19, it says, 'And we do not know of such thing.' Oh, my goodness. 24 years later, after Pentecost, the day of Pentecost, as we know it, when the Holy Spirit came for those 120, they said, 'We don't know it.' And Paul said, 'Receive you the Holy Spirit.'" [34:48]
6. "The promise is the baptism with the Holy Spirit. In Acts 2, 3, 8, Then Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children and to all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.' Is that not us? We are far off to your children and your children's children and are far off. That's for all. It's not just for a select few. It's for who? So is salvation for all?" [53:50]
