2008 Freedom Conference Keynote Quotes

Here are just a few of the many great quotes from our invited keynote speakers (that made it into my journal) from last week’s 2008 Exodus Freedom Conference. They may not be exact transcripts and surely not comprehensive.

Anne Graham Lotz: “The Holy Spirit is a Person. A Whole Person … not an it. You receive the Holy Spirit when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You receive the Holy Spirit completely and once and for all. … You get “more of the Holy Spirit” by giving Him more of you. … In order for the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside, He must be inside us.”

Clark Whitten: “If you want to change the way you feel, you have to change the way you think … Grace, not strong will, will set you free … God doesn’t have to trick Himself by seeing you through some mystic filter of Jesus being superimposed on your life. God sees you for you and He loves you and wants you to be cleansed by the blood of Christ … There is a danger of being so sin conscious that you become unconscious to God … We don’t confess sin to be forgiven, that is already “finished” because when the Lord said “It is finished” … it is finished. We confess sin to be healed.

“The Joy of God is Trans-circumstantial.”

Michelle McKinney Hammond: “A man called me before I made the trip out here … He tried to convince me to not come and speak at this conference. I told him why I wanted to speak and by the end of our conversation, I thought we were cool … but instead … he called WGN and I got taken off their network. I am not just here … I am here passionately.”

“Don’t you just love it when Jesus asks stupid questions? … He asks us questions, not because He needs the answer… He asks us the question so that we can locate ourselves.”

I missed most of Jimmy Evans’ keynote because I was doing several interviews that morning. I was honored to do a good amount of media during the whole week. Also, Andy Comiskey’s talk was strong. He asserted that we must hold on to truth as the pressure to abandon it grows.
