“I am going to show you great and mighty things which no one has ever seen before.... I am going to take you places where no one has ever been. I am going to take you to heights where no one has ever reached. If you will only come to me with all your heart, I will do a mighty work in you, which no man can undo but yourself.”
“A time will come in your life, William, where your faith will be tested... and you must stay faithful to the word and vision that the All-Father has given to you.”
“It is you I foreknew and have predestined for such a time as this. Just as My heart has so eagerly chosen you, William Ore, you must also choose me.”
“A life I have lived and have found just that... life.”
