Dave Holden on Restoration

"We have known visitations of the Holy Spirit in the last twenty years. The issue of restoration is a sovereign work of God. All these invasions of God are not about making us better - but to make us attractive and visible. God blesses us so that all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

We don't want people to say "how nice" but to either say we're mad or it must be God - they must make a decision. God's purpose is immediate impact particularly through moves of the Holy Spirit".

Ern Baxter on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"The Holy Spirit is much more than we have generally concluded. His coming was the result of Jesus' sacrifice before God. One of the reasons why the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the whole matter of the Holy Spirit has been so fiercely contested by people who should know better - is because the Holy Spirit is the communication of God to men concerning the work of Jesus Christ in the Presence of God.

When God baptises you in His Holy Spirit, you have received a bell-like communication that Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, has accomplished His great priestly work. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a peripheral experience for a few freaks. It is the very normal experience of every child of God. Every child of god has the right to the evidence of the golden bells of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to give him experimental evidence that the legal work of the Cross is real".

John Piper on the Aim of Preaching

"That's the essence of preaching (Jer 2:13). The best way to glorify an
inexhaustible fountain is to keep on drinking and to keep on being so satisfied with that fountain that nothing can draw you away. Therefore the task of preaching is to display the all-satisfying glories of God in such a way that the power of all competing pleasures is broken and God Himself holds people captive".

John Piper on the Aim of Preaching

"Therefore we ask - as every preacher must ask who knows this aim of preaching - how can I awaken the slumbering passions of God's people for the surpassing worth of knowing God and His Son Jesus Christ?".

Frank Damazio on God's Presence

"...the key to longevity of revival is that we walk in the presence of God, that we walk in the Spirit. It is one thing to be slain in the Spirit, but it is another thing to walk in the Spirit"

Simon Pettit on Christian Leadership

"Christian leadership is the gift of being able to influence people in a God-given direction that they weren't initially willing to take ... the most motivating thing you can bring to your people is a clear presentation of what the vision - God's will - is".

Simon Pettit (2003) - Newfrontiers Leadership Conference in Brighton - 11th July 2003.

Greg Haslam on Vision 7

"Visionary people need to seek out other people preferably with a bigger vision who will fire what they believe ... get out of bad visionless company and into good envisioned company!".
