Greg Haslam on the Presence of God

"Without a real encounter with God we soon slip into a mechanical form of Christianity ... in short what many Christians have is a kind of synthetic spirituality and a synthetic joy. From time to time it looks like the real thing but it manifestly isn't. The real thing is something that draws God's powerful Presence and arouses a watching world either to total hatred or total surrender to the God we love and serve".

Rob Rufus on 2009

"There will be some religious spirits that will stay antagonistic and legalistic and they will even get more intense in their anger against grace preachers. They will write lots of articles and go on websites and run them down but God said this to me (very audibly in my spirit) - He said that in 2009 those religious spirits and those religious congregations and leaders - their influence will decline and they will not have the ability to put fear and confusion on people the way they have had in the past".

Rick Joyner on the "Spirit of Religion"

"For some people it seems easier to "die for the Lord" than to live for Him. Those who have a perverted understanding of the Cross glory more in death than they do in life. They fail to see that the point of the Cross is resurrection, not the grave".
