Standing Firm: The Power of Faith and Unity

### Quotes for Outreach

1. "The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. You ever felt weary? Am I the only one? Just felt weary. I think it's partly we run ourselves ragged with everything we do. And part of it is we are facing spiritual things in heavenly places. We're fighting. We're fighting against spirits. And I think it's part of who we are as Apostolic Pentecostal people."

2. "If the last few years have taught us anything, it has taught us that God is sovereign, that he's in control, that nothing gets beyond his all-seeing eye. And even though we may be living in an hour of intense pressure and uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring, we also find ourselves in a unique and a powerful moment, in the history of our world. We are living in a very unique hour that is rapidly moving toward the rapture of the church. I still believe Jesus is coming very, very soon." [12:02](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "God has never needed, and God will never need a majority to accomplish his purpose. He's never asked you to be mighty. He's not looking for the brave or even the elite. Amen. Our creator is totally content using common things. He'll take a lad with two fish and five loaves and a feet of multitude. He'll take a Samson with the jawbone of a donkey, and he'll destroy the enemy. It doesn't matter how bad it is or how good it is. With God, all things are possible."

4. "Every time you pray, every time you worship, every time you shout, every time you speak in tongues, every time you get lost in the Holy Ghost, you are doing more in the domain of darkness. Then you can recognize you've got to take care of those things that are under the surface. Can I preach to a good church today? Take care of those things in your 20s so they don't destroy you in your 40s." [24:43](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5. "The treasure is always greater than the trouble. In your life. When you're pursuing the things of God and hell's fighting you and everywhere you turn. It seems like you're not making any traction and the enemy's pushing at you and your family's fighting you and your finances are all jacked up. Can I say jacked up? I did. It does not matter. The treasure is always greater than the trouble." [45:40](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


### Quotes for Members

1. "If God speaks to you. I want you to follow God. Okay? I'm not up here trying to make a hard sell. I'm just doing what I felt the Holy Ghost. I was in prayer this morning in the hotel room. I said, God, I seldom do what I've just done. I seldom do this. But I felt the Holy Ghost just say, I want you to challenge this church just a little bit more. And I want you just to follow the Holy Ghost, whatever that is." [07:45](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2. "When David was plucked from the field of tending his father's sheep, when he was placed in front of the national spotlight to face off against Goliath the giant, there was an entire nation that was just waiting for somebody to rise up who would lead them to greatness. And from the moment Goliath fell till David took his final gasp of air on his deathbed, we see a man whom the Bible says served his generation. He restored a nation. In fact, it is said that under the leadership of David, the territory of Israel, what they controlled and what they conquered, expanded some 10 times more than when he first stepped to the throne."

3. "When David finds himself hounded by Saul attempting to put an end to the threat of David becoming the next monarch, we see something very unique begin to happen. Men who found themselves discontented, men that were distressed, men that were in debt made their way to the cave of a giant killer. The name of David, who was passionate about doing something with his life and serving his generation, men that had been cut off from family, men that had been ridiculed by their neighbors, men and women that had been pushed to the side, journeyed to the cave where God was using the crucibles of life to turn a man into a king."

4. "When it appeared that this was the craziest thing you could have done, when it felt like you were pulling things uphill and you may still feel it, I commend you. I commend you. I commend you. I commend you. I commend you. I feel that way when people fought, when people resisted, but I commend you because it may not have been the most pristine of conditions. You may have had to deal with the mess and the embarrassment of dealing with those things, but hear me. God's just looking. I'm preaching to somebody right now. God's just looking for somebody, someone that's not afraid to stand on the Lord's side and declare victory in the face of defeat." [27:46](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5. "The church is losing its influence. Family's losing its heart. We got to get these fields back. We got to make it you know why you're building a church here it's not just so you can fill up a nice building have a good sermon and go on your way it's to shake hell it's to break the bands of those who are in your way and it's to those that are so desperate for change these fields still matter the church matters the home matters they still have value no matter what they may say elsewhere this is why I've come on this weekend amen to deliver my heart and why I felt so instructed of the holy ghost amen it's time for men and women young people and young adults to stand your ground and fight get behind the weight that your pastor carries amen and fight."
