"Has anybody ever experienced a pause in their life? Right? It's like there's no yes, there's no no, there's a pause in your life. And it's in those pausing moments that the Holy Spirit comes and just overwhelms you with his presence. Overwhelms you with love. Overwhelms you with forgiveness. Overwhelms you with the power of Jesus Christ. So in the midst of that pause, that can feel forever. Maybe today you are living in the middle of a pause. Someone did you wrong. A doctor says something about you." [01:08:33] (39 seconds)
"Because we'd rather be right before the Lord than before man. How many know what I'm talking about? We'd rather be right before the Lord than the man in the name of Jesus. Today she's in her final breaths. But the joy, the smile, the happiness that brought a closure that they want to be right before God's eyes. So this Easter, this Resurrection Sunday, I pray that you'll forgive. I pray that you'll remember our sins and he forgave us. I've asked it, I think two weeks ago. Any stingy people in the house?" [01:09:26] (51 seconds)
"Because the generosity that he showed towards your and I, the generosity that he gave to forgive us, how many thank God he was not cheap with us. He went overflow, overflow, overflow, overflow. He's like, man, I'm going to forgive you. I'm going to forgive you. I'm going to restore you. I'm going to do amazing things for the glory of God. Tell the person next to you, your season of cheapness, no, no, tell them, your season of cheapness is over. Something needs to resurrect this Easter. Something needs to resurrect this Easter." [01:11:00] (40 seconds)
"How many thank God that if we bring that to the cross, it means that all your sins have forgiven, your battle has been won, and your court, you are set free in the name of Jesus. That is the crucifixion. That is why he rose in the name of Jesus. It is finished. I've been living this, it is finished principle over the last two years, Sylvester. That when the enemy tries to creep up in my mind, you're not going to make it, you're going to get sick, or the pain is going to be delayed, or this does not come through." [01:14:10] (37 seconds)
"Because he went to the cross. And I pray to God that as the enemy lies to us, that we will look at him right in wherever he's at and say, you know what, you're a liar. And in the name of Jesus, it is finished. In the name of Jesus. Powerful. And when the enemy lies to us, when he comes after our kids, our finances, our health, our relationship, our marriage. We look at him and say, man, dude, not here. Not here. Some of us have been doing Java with Satan." [01:15:55] (44 seconds)
"Some of us have been living in cemeteries for too long. You pray to God for the job, but you're already saying why you're not going to get it. You're praying to God that he's going to heal you, but you're already coming out with some results of why you can't get healed. You're praying to God that he's going to forgive you, but you already rolled out a list of things you did 10 years ago. God's like, what are you talking about? I forgave you in the name of Jesus. How many thank God for his forgiveness?" [01:18:13] (33 seconds)
"Some of us have gotten so comfortable in the grave that it's pathetic, that we have so much potential, that we have so much anointing. And I really don't practice this, but I want you to know, and she's going to be like me, yeah. I want you to know that as I was worshiping, like she gave me that look like, what? God, just put it in my heart to share with you, to start prophesying in the name of Jesus. That God has deposited a powerful word in you, and he wants you to use it for his glory." [01:19:46] (36 seconds)
"Some of us are talent, and we're telling God, I don't want to play. Some of us can write, and we're telling God, I won't write for you. Some of us can sing, and we'll tell God, I will never sing for you. Some of us are business people, and we'll tell God, God, I'll never honor you with my business. Some of us are scholars and wise people here today, and we're telling God how he can't use you. Some of us are crazy athletes, and we're telling God why we can't play for him." [01:22:47] (43 seconds)
"Some of us dress well. We talk well. We're highly educated. Thank you. But you know what? We're not free. You've been living lies of the enemy. That you won't make it. That there won't be enough. That your kids will never make it. That they won't have enough for college. That they won't get a good job. That they won't marry somebody good. That they're going to be sick or someone's not going to make it. And all these lies that the enemy puts in our midst. Lie number one. I'm too far gone to be forgiven." [01:24:58] (41 seconds)
"Because sometimes we want to enforce the rules to the point. But when it comes to me, Dito, can you give me a break? Some of us are so hard on other people, right? But when it's my moment, I want the grace. I want the mercy of God. How many have experienced that mercy that I'm talking about? Where you are guilty, but God says, man, you are forgiven in the name of Jesus. You are forgiven in the name of Jesus. You are forgiven in the name of Jesus. You are forgiven in the name of Jesus."
