### Quotes for Outreach

1. "Let your roots grow down deep into Jesus. Start to get into his word. Start to enter into his presence. Even if you don't know what that means right now, just try it. Just go out in nature and look around at what he's created. Just sit down in a quiet place and start praying. Because even if you feel like you're talking to a wall, the reality is you're not. And eventually you're gonna start to realize that your spirit will start to come alive in truth, that you are actually communing with the one true God."

2. "We need to start to take on that mind of Christ that actually everything's been defeated. That yes there are things that we need to see and we need to cast out and we need people need deliverance they need to be set free but we have to start to see that there is a human there. There are humans all around us. They are the ones who need to be redeemed. They are the ones who need to know the love of the Father and that we don't need to be so afraid of this demonic junk. We have the authority we are kings and we've entered through the door through the gate and we have the authority and Jesus there's no contest."

3. "Jesus invites humanity into the Trinity to the point where actually many early church fathers actually say it's more like a, I'm going to say it wrong, quarternity instead of a Trinity because Father, Son and Holy Spirit not saying that we are equal to them at all do not hear that that's heresy but that we are actually invited in. We are invited into the Trinity. Humanity becomes this fourth part of the Trinity. It's mind blowing." [01:47:10](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

4. "He chooses his son chooses Jesus chooses to go to that cross for us he's never felt anything less than perfect and yet he chooses to come to a broken and hurting world and to suffer and to die for people who literally are the ones who nail him on that cross this is the Jesus this is the God that you're invited to say yes to today so if that's you I wanna encourage you right now just surrender to him and just say Father Jesus I accept you I accept that you are my Lord and Savior and I just ask you to forgive everything and I ask you to literally cut away that sin nature that is in me just know that right now through your faith you have stepped through the door into the truth and the reality of salvation of eternal life."

5. "All of the perfection the lack of sickness the lack of pain the lack of betrayal the lack of all those things we're supposed to bring all the good of reality the realities of heaven to this earth right now the way we do that is not by looking at the bad but it's by setting our gaze on the good it's by setting our gaze on the realities of heaven where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand think about the things of heaven not the things of earth."

### Quotes for Members

1. "I believe that understanding our seat will change everything in our lives. That part that says, I think it was verse six, for he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. I know we talk about this all the time, but man, if we could like, really, really focus on this every day, every moment of our lives, that we are literally united with Jesus Christ. Like it changes everything. It changes everything about the way we live and we think. Our position, our perspective, our identity, our ability to see things clearly and our ability to even be in God's presence is all related to this idea that through faith, we actually come into a saving relationship with the one true God and are seated with him, positioned with him, and he changes our very nature."

2. "We need to be careful of ever allowing us to believe that being seated with him is just some spiritual thing that we'll one day understand. We have to realize that is a reality that all of us when we accept Jesus and we are united with him we are seated in him in heavenly places for in Christ all the fullness of God lives all the fullness of God in human body and we are complete through our union with Christ who is the head over every ruler and authority."

3. "He changes everything about us. Many of you guys came to maybe all or part of the tent meetings that we had a few weeks ago, the 10 nights leading up to Pentecost. And I think something that I really loved about the tent this year, we've done Pentecost nights, the 10 nights leading up, to Pentecost for, since 2018. And each year it looks a little bit differently, but last year was the first year that we did like the big tent and invited people. And both years have been incredible, but I think for me personally, this year, there was something so profoundly deep about it."

4. "And we need to be careful of ever allowing us to believe that being seated with him is just some spiritual thing that we'll one day understand.

5. "And it says, therefore, so because of this doctrine you've heard, because of this right teaching you've heard, therefore walk in a manner that is worthy of the calling which you've received. What we believe, what we know about God should affect the way we live. So I know some of you right now are going, oh, teaching, this is boring, blah, blah, blah, whatever. But the reality is that if we don't think right, we won't live right. And when these little things start to actually come in and affect and infect the way that we see God and the way that we see ourselves, it will affect the way that we walk. It will affect this idea of working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Because if we don't believe right, we won't live right. Why am I telling you all of this? Because it's so important that you understand who sits on that throne. He is fully God and He is fully human. He is fully God and He took on the full nature of humanity and He sits on that throne."
