### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Your future is so bright, you're going to need them. I got five people over there that received that. I said, because your future is so bright, you're going to need them. Now let's talk about vision here today. Proverbs 29, 18 from the Amplified Classic says this, where there is no vision, no redemptive revelation of God, this is a strong statement, the people perish. So wherever there's no revelation of God, people perish. The revelation of God must then contribute to my vision, right? I don't really have vision that comes from God if he didn't reveal it to me through his word." [01:31]
2. "I once heard someone say the two greatest days of your life are one, the day when you were born and two, the day that you find out why you were born. Something about having a glimpse of the reason for why I exist. Martin Luther had a strong reason for why he existed. And that's why he woke up one day and he said, I have a dream that one day little black boys and little white boys come. He was seeing equality. He had a dream, right? That one day we would be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin. He said, I have a dream. And that dream woke him up every day. It caused him to action. He did something about it." [16:28]
3. "Vision is the capacity to see the invisible and believe that it's possible. So vision is seeing beyond your eyes and living in your imagination. Usually, God gives you vision, watch this, that benefits more than just yourself. If it's just only about you, it probably didn't come from God. Everybody still with me out there? Put your glasses back on by faith. I'm going to prophesy over you again. The reason you need to put those on is because your vision is getting clearer and your future is extremely bright." [20:06]
4. "If anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and he will give it. He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures. Watch this, but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace, which means in every area. Where you fail, God has more wisdom than you need. Come on, somebody to be overwhelmed, right? To overwhelm your failure, which means if he overwhelms your failure, he turned it around so good that nobody even remembers that you failed." [29:05]
5. "Some of you all, you can be debt-free by this time next year. See, that's what I'm saying. Some of y'all, you can't even fathom that. You can't even get your, you can't even get a vision of that. But if you'll do what you're being instructed, he'll give you special insight into that. It doesn't take God a long time to get a mate to you. It takes you a long time to get his revelation about what he wants you to be. See, you're so busy looking for what you want them to be. Have you ever stopped? To become what he wants you to be." [41:03]
### Quotes for Members
1. "And if I'm not renewing daily, I'm not growing daily, right? And so believe it or not, folks, we actually live by our revelations, not by our salvation. We live by what we learn and how we grow, not by our salvation. Our salvation gets us into heaven. Illumination gets us victory on earth. Oh, I'm preaching better than anybody saying everybody. I actually get saved to learn. Most people don't do that. They get saved and just keep doing life the way they want to do it and saying, God bless it." [48:39]
2. "So, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness. Now, remember, I'm studying this for myself. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe? So, if you go back to the progression of the information, the more revelation I get about him and the wisdom that I get from on high, it should get me to a place where I believe him for that in my life. And then what he's saying is I've actually got the power to make it come to pass. So, your job is to believe. His job is to release his power." [41:03]
3. "So for spiritual understanding, we must both have regeneration, that's called salvation, again, an illumination vision. Most people get regeneration, but they don't get illumination. How far? So what I mean by that, they get saved, but they still do life their way. That's most Christians, because they don't get any illumination. That's where the vision comes from. The only thing they ever learn about God is what somebody else tells them." [44:40]
4. "So that the eyes of your understanding, talking about your spiritual understanding will be flooded with light. That's when you have that aha moment that you may know what is the hope of what? Not your calling. Who's calling? His calling for you is going to be a greater revelation with him. Right? Always. Right? Having a greater revelation of him is going to get you to your purpose. Everybody clear?" [36:05]
5. "Break open your word within me until revelation light shines out, right? You want to learn how marriage works? Get in the book and get so full of that until revelation comes out of you. See, the reason is, the reason you all are going like this because you're doing it your way, which is a lower level of wisdom. You're smart. Don't get me wrong. You're extremely intelligent. You're just not as smart as God who can give you the details about how this is actually supposed to work." [25:50]
6. "But he who is spiritual does what? Investigates everything. Yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. See, this is, it really is true. Nobody can judge me but God. Amen. But no one will ever have to if everything I'm doing, I'm judging by the word of God. I'm done. For he who has, for who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him. Watch this. But we have the mind of Christ. Not going to get. We have. Which means I can have Christ's mind about my marriage. Because it's in the word of God." [58:09]
