"She didn't give up. And the Holy Spirit of Justice sustained her. This is what we got to remind ourselves. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome the spirits of the world because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
"Y'all, it is not your power. It is the power of the Holy Spirit in you that is greater than the power of the the spirits in the world. I know it is hard. I know you get weary sometimes. I know you feel like it can be two steps forward and one step back. I know it seems like the wicked prosper and sometimes they do. But greater is the one in you than the one who is in the world."
"The same spirit of justice that empowered generations past is available to you today. It has been there for people across time whenever they needed it. It is here when you need it too. ... Listen closely enough and you will hear a still, small voice encouraging you to declare your dignity and stand up for righteousness.
The spirit of justice still speaks." (p.232)
