### Quotes for Outreach

1. "So, I have to first start anything that I'm going to start with a vision of what it should look like. Everybody clear? All right, listen to some of these things that I wrote down. You will be what you see, but what you do not see, you cannot be. You will become what you behold, but what you do not behold, you cannot become."

2. "So, let's get into this. If the product... Listen to this. If the product is deficient, then our perception and our process must be deficient also. Can we all accept that? All right. Can I read that again? If the product... If our product is deficient... See, if my goal was to lose weight and I haven't done it, I mean, no, I can't say, God, how come you didn't help me lose weight? If the goal was to become debt-free and that needle has not moved at all, I cannot go to God and say, God, why didn't you help me get debt-free? No, I got to go right back to me and look at my perception." [07:49](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

3. "So, you see what he's challenging us to do? What behavior do you have his perspective on that? How you are currently living your life and the choices that you're making, is it from his perspective or your perspective? See, would I date him or her with his perspective? But my common sense tells me, hello, they look good, I look good, we might look good together. But I can tell you, the wise person told me I've been married a long time. Boy, I tell you, you end up marrying that person. This person told me, love is blind, but marriage will open your eyes wide open."

4. "So, remember, God's not obligated to show that to everybody. He's really only obligated to show it to one person. And then that's his job to share with other people. I get to learn their hearts by how they respond to So a vision, listen to this, plus a plan, plus action, equals a spiritually productive life. Say it again. All right. I like that right there. Push me out there. A vision, let me say it that way. A vision, uh-huh, plus a plan, uh-huh. Come on, push me out there. Plus action will produce a spiritually productive life. I know he's all right. Ain't he all right? I know he's all right." [19:35](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

### Quotes for Members

1. "So, I had plans for my life. But God had other plans for my life. Now, which one do you think I'm the most fulfilled in? I promise you, we were going to be successful out there at everything else that I just told you. We were going to do that at a high level, right? But it would never, ever provided the level of fulfillment that I have in Christ today." [28:54](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

2. "So, let's get into this. Now, I'm going to challenge you today, right? Let's look at under letter B, point number one. Perception leads to process, and process will lead to product. And so, all of us have to self-evaluate and look at the product, which is my life, and what has my life produced. And if I'm not happy with the product, I mean, no, I can't get upset with God. I got to go back and look at my perception and then my process, because a lot of times, the end result has more to do with my perception and my process, than it did my product."

3. "So, ultimately, your heart, what God has on his heart. Isn't that good? Spiritual vision then ultimately is getting on your heart what God has on his heart. And that only comes through spending time with him. More time I spend in the word, the more time I spend in prayer, the more I start to get on my heart what he has on his heart. Everybody clear? Yes. Less time I spend in the word of God, less time I spend in prayer, the more I get in my heart who I am. And now I start thinking and acting based off of that and not him."

4. "God will never give you a vision about something he wants you to become without giving you the strategy to get there. How many of y'all agree with that? Online, do you agree with that today? If you agree, type in, I agree with that. Let me say it again. God will never give you vision without also giving you strategy on how to get there."

5. "So, if you understand what Oswald Chambers was saying is, most people are serving God out of common sense and not revelation of who He is. So, they go to church, but they do everything according to their will and not His will for their lives." [04:07](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)
