You said that it would be your battle, not ours. We were to stand in the middle of our field, in the middle of our little world, piece of world that you've given to us, and you would go to the edge of that thing and you would rebuke what was trying to devour us. Be it disease, depression, finances, whatever the case may be. You would rebuke it. If we would stand in the middle of our world and worship you and honor you and call you holy and Rapha and El Shaddai call you by name. [00:55:07] (37 seconds)  #StandAndRebuke Download clip

I was so glad I obeyed the rules. I'm a rule breaker. But I was so glad I didn't carry a big old bag in because I saw woman after woman hauling it back to her car, fussing because she couldn't get in with her baggage. Then I thought, how much baggage can we take to heaven? See, there's restrictions on how you enter the stadium tonight. You'll be checked. You'll be scanned. Yeah. Good. Does the Holy Ghost scan you when you come in this building? He probably does and gives you a chance to get it right. [01:11:29] (42 seconds)  #NoBaggageToHeaven Download clip
