"Pharisees were the people who made the scriptures and who are the closest in doctrine to the Old Testament Bible. It's the worst I've shown you before. I'd like you all to see it again and those who haven't seen it before let me just point it out to you. Matthew 23 is a chapter full of the denunciation of the Pharisees by Jesus." [00:02:48]

"Judgment must begin within the family of God. Are you part of the family of God? Judgment must begin with you, and this judgment must begin with us first. So I have taken that very seriously now for many, many years in my life. I can stand before God and say this, God is my witness, that every single day of my life, for many years now, I have judged myself in something or the other." [00:06:56]

"Even though preaching a sermon may be a good thing and 101 people may have come and told me they were blessed by it, okay, but I still judge myself. I sometimes listen to my own sermons on YouTube and say, Lord, show me, is there something I need to cleanse myself? I do not, therefore, that is simply saying I am not perfect." [00:07:49]

"As long as you, I think all of us who say we have not become like Christ, we all say that, but what are you doing about it? I mean, it's like saying a child wants to complete, let's say, at least twelfth grade and says, I haven't attained twelfth grade, but if you don't want to sit in the second grade all its life, every year it's going forward." [00:09:00]

"Paul says in the verse 16, second Corinthians 4:16, the middle of that words, our outer man, that is our physical body, is decaying every day. I mean, doctors will tell you there are thousands of cells dying in our body every day, blood cells, brain cells are dying. That's why as people get older, their memory becomes weaker because brain cells are dying by the hundreds every day." [00:10:10]

"John the Baptist, I was just reading what I've read many times before. Somebody came to John the Baptist, you know how great preachers like to be famous and known, and that's what crushed them up and ruins them. People came to John the Baptist and said, are you Elijah? Now you could have so people think I'm Elijah. This is no, he didn't even think like that." [00:11:56]

"John chapter one, I'm a voice. Brother/sister, are you willing to be just a voice, a voice for Jesus? Nobody sees your face, nobody knows your name. That's the way the Holy Spirit spoke to me. Are you willing to be a person whose name nobody knows, whose face nobody recognizes anywhere you go? You're not a famous person, you just and I know, but you're a voice for the Savior." [00:12:26]

"When I stand before the Lord, and we all will stand in the day of judgment, I don't know whether you realize that the fact that we are going to stand before the Lord should bring within us a great reverence and fear. If it doesn't bring a reverence and fear in you that you're going to stand before the Lord to give an account of everything in your life, I want to say to you, my dear brother and sister, I want to say it as lovingly as possible, there is something fundamentally wrong with your Christianity." [00:16:26]

"Second Corinthians 5:10, we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that we will be recompensed. Recompense means rewarded or punished accordingly for the deeds we did in our body, according to whatever these talking about believers now, whether what we did was good or bad. And therefore, whenever you read therefore in the Bible, see what it is therefore." [00:17:03]

"Whether we are in a permanent home in heaven or absent from our permanent home here on this earth, if you want to be pleasing to him, the meaning of that is the way I pictured it in my mind is when I get to heaven, my life is going to go full speed in one direction, pleasing God, pleasing God, pleasing God. That's absolutely certain." [00:18:20]

"An ambition to please the Lord in exactly the same way as I would be doing when I'm absent from the body and present to the Lord. Lord, I don't want even a slight change of direction. It must be I'll do it more perfectly then, but my ambition must be the same even though I may do it more perfectly in heaven, my ambitions should not change at all." [00:20:06]

"Those who honor me, I will honor. I've experienced it myself so many times. Once I got a transfer in half an hour after I took a stand for something, I just turned out of my job and given another one. I said, praise the Lord. So those are precious experiences. So have the mark on the forehead, but this number is very small." [00:34:16]
