### Quotes for Outreach
1. "We need to be alert because there is an enemy that's out there trying to devour us, trying to destroy us, trying to bring us down. So we need to be alert. We need to be alert each and every day. Be alert of the enemy that's out there like a lion. You know, when lions actually eat or when they actually have a kill, it's not a pretty sight. And that's why they describe it like that. Like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." [01:18:34]
2. "So we need to submit to God each and every day. Submit our sinful nature. Submit our flesh, our meat that wants to do these things. And give it to God. By being alert. By putting on the full armor of God. And by submitting ourselves. We resist the devil at that point. We resist the attacks that he's coming through us. And that's the beautiful part. Because see all this destruction. All this chaos. Was going on to the people that didn't have the seal of God on their forehead. So even through all the chaos. Even through all the storm. And through everything that we, that they're living through at that moment. He has a plan for his people." [01:20:15]
3. "So let's imagine I have a grill right here. And I put some hamburger meat and some hot dogs. And they're grilling. They're doing their thing. And then here comes. I don't know. Here comes someone. And, hey, Angel. And then so they call me. And I start talking to them. And I'm like, hey, what's going on? And they're talking to me. And they're sharing with me the story. I don't know. Something that happened during the week. Blah, blah, blah. And then they're like, oh, what's going on with the grill? Because I forgot that I had my hamburgers and my hot dogs on the grill. So I look at my grill. I'm over here. And I look at the grill. And you know that site where smoke starts coming out through the edges of the grill? So that's what I'm looking at right now. I'm looking at, like, smoke starting to creep out. And I'm like, oh, that doesn't look good." [50:32]
4. "So if you've been in a real, real, real thunderstorm, man, it makes the house shake. It makes the plates shake. It makes the TV shake. Like everything in the, it's almost like being in an earthquake. That's how strong and, you know, that's the impact that this thunder has. And so that's what it's telling me that I'm going to be hearing wings, the thundering of many horses. And chariots rushing into battle. That's the sound that he's describing. The sound of thundering like horses and chariots rushing into battle." [01:03:05]
5. "So it's crazy to see that these locusts were released to make people suffer. I mean, I've never been in a situation like that. I was talking with Erica this week, and we were driving down, and I'm talking to her. And I'm like, hey, you know, this is interesting what it says, you know, in Revelation, how they're going to be in so much pain, so much pain. They're going to want to, they're going to be seeking death, but they're not going to find it. But just the part about seeking death, that they were going to be in so much pain, so much agony that they're going to long to die." [57:36]

3. "So let's go ahead and finish this chapter, verse 20 through 21. It says, the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons. And idols of gold, silver, bronze. And stone and wood. Idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality, or their thefts." [01:13:57]
4. "So we need to put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against those schemes. So we need to be alert. And we need to put on the full armor of God. And the last thing is submit yourselves then to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. So we need to submit to God each and every day. Submit our sinful nature. Submit our flesh, our meat that wants to do these things. And give it to God. By being alert. By putting on the full armor of God. And by submitting ourselves. We resist the devil at that point.

5. "It's crazy for me to understand this. This is where none of this made sense to me. Because again, I try to put myself in their shoes. I try to put myself in, what are they thinking? What are they feeling? What are they going through? What are they, you know. Like I try to put myself in their shoes. But I just can't think that you're in a point in your life. Where you harden your heart so much. And you see all this chaos going around you. You see all this craziness. And you still can't repent. Like how much, how blinded were these people by their own sinful nature. By their own sinful acts. That they can't repent." [01:15:42]

7. "So now imagine what I just described. Imagine it in a scale where it's big enough or it's large enough to darken the sky and the sun. Can you imagine how that feeling, how that weird, you know, how that would look? So much smoke coming out of this abyss. Now thinking about abyss, my mind goes straight to something that I've been to, which is Carlsbad Caverns. Like when I think of an abyss, I think of Carlsbad Caverns. It's perfect. It's like the shape. Who's been here to Carlsbad Caverns? Any hands? Yeah. A lot of people have been to Carlsbad Caverns. So you know when you're walking into it, when you go the long way and you walk into it and you're going down and you're going down, it's like a huge, just like cylinder shape going up. And then you just walk down this path. That's what I'm imagining when I see this." [53:14]
8. "So if you've been in a real, real, real thunderstorm, man, it makes the house shake. It makes the plates shake. It makes the TV shake. Like everything in the, it's almost like being in an earthquake. That's how strong and, you know, that's the impact that this thunder has.
