Reviving the Spirit: Embracing New Life in Christ

### Quotes for Outreach

1. "When Jesus looked upon us he saw the wrongness of us. When God looked upon you he saw the wrongness of you. Some of us used to do all kinds of sin. Going to all the wrong places. Participating in all the wrong things. Come on, somebody have church with me this morning. Just allowing the enemy to take control of your life. The Bible says that as it's written there is none righteous. No, not once. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. When God looked down upon us and saw us, he saw the wrongness of us. He saw our state of mind." [46:00](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

1. "This scripture is a reference to the valley of death we see in Ezekiel chapter 37. Where it says, The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out of the spirit of the Lord to set me in the midst of the valley, which was full of bones. And he caused me to pass by them round about. And behold, there were very many in the open valley, and lo, they were very dry. He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. And he said unto me, Prophesy unto these bones. And say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord, that saith the Lord God unto these bones. Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live." [42:11](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
