"It does matter where you go to church, it does matter where you worship, it does matter where you lift your head, it does matter where you cry out to God. There is something about the atmosphere.

"This is the bag of pride. This is what won't let you admit you got anything wrong with you. Its a little bag, but its a lethal bag. This bag God hates more than any other bag. He hates the look of this bag. This is the bag we hide all the time- this is a bag that we hide all the time- it is the bag of pride - where your image is everything."

"This is an unusual bag- it's different from all the rest... this is the baggage of my dreams. It's not a sin, it's not a weight, it's not a curse after the normal order- this is the weight of being a dreamer. The baggage of my dreams - stops me from being satisfied- because I dream so much bigger than I live. The baggage of my dreams - to him who much is given- much is required. I could be happy here- but my dreams are so much bigger than my reality. It is the baggage of dreams. It is hard to make a dreamer happy, because dreamer's dreams keep moving forward. If you give them a house- they'll dream of a garage. If you give them a garage they'll dream of a driveway. You give them a driveway they'll dream of a boat. Are there any dreamers in this rooms. And my dreams- I probably could have carried them if it were for my guilt, my pride and my sin."

"Real worship just lets it go. You don't even look back to see how it's going to turn out. Real worship says Lord whatever takes for me to have any joy, whatever it takes Lord for me to have any peace. I throw myself down in your presence. Bless me Lord. I need your love. I need your glory, I need your presence..... Into thy presence I come.... Restore my joy. Restore my peace. Restore my victory."
