Pastor Karen emphasizes the importance of waiting on the Lord and being open to His guidance, acknowledging that sometimes ministers need to be flexible in their prepared messages. She encourages a shift from a consumer mentality to a posture of blessing and worship towards God. Drawing from biblical examples, she highlights David's desire to bless the Lord, even though God ultimately promises to build a house for David.

"God isn't looking for a visitation; he is looking for a habitation. LIVE IN THE SPIRIT!" Bishop Lance warns the church of becoming stagnant and lukewarm. He implores the church to stop seeking religion and to seek the face of God, and to remember that God is searching our hearts whether we want him to or not. "With revival, comes conviction!"

"Do not open the door to deception!" Pastor Paul Johnson warns the church of the elephant in the room of revival: disappointment, the doorway to deception. "It can blind, discourage, and ruin your relationship with the Father." He reminds us that God is greater and teaches us how to handle disappointment properly when it sneaks in.

"Every prophecy you receive is only as good as the person it came from. Take it to God!"

"Rise, Gideon, rise!" Jeremiah Johnson heeds a call to a generation of Gideon warriors to rise up out of hiding to war, to deliver, to return to the places they once hid full of the Holy Spirit to pull out others, and to know their authority and purpose to save this generation. "

"Your goal in life isn't to just get saved and go to heaven. Your goal is to go through the door , which is Jesus, and bring heaven to earth." Pastor Matt Scott challenges the church to step outside of the comfort zone to bring the Kingdom of God to the lost, to remember the laws of sowing and reaping daily, and to keep in mind that what we sow today affects our future generations.
