In her sermon, Pastor Paula spoke about issues she has dealt with in her past such as feeling responsible for her father's suicide, physical and sexual abuse she was subject to, and being a pregnant teen out of wedlock. The devil comes to us and tries to cripple us with the things of our past. Pastor Paula said it best,
“The enemy sends an event that doesn’t just mess you up at that moment, but it tries to tie itself to you and you can’t lift yourself up out of it. You can’t lift yourself out of it because it’s a spirit. The only thing that can break that is the blood of Jesus.”
Pastor Paula also acknowledged all the criticisms she has received, but said they do not affect her. She recalled a time when someone thanked her and told her she probably hears that all the time how amazing she is. White responded, “I hear ‘amazing,’…I hear that I’m a devil, I hear I’m a hoe, I hear I’m a Jezebel, I hear I’m an angel, I hear I’m an Apostle, but I don’t really hear any of it!”
“You’re never as good as they say and you’re never as bad as they say as long as I hear His voice, as long as I know what He (God) is saying about me.”
“Don’t ever let anything clutter you where you can’t hear His voice,” she told the congregation. “As long as you can hear His voice, everything’s going to be OK!”
“I’m not looking for man’s approval. I don’t care if you give me your stamp of approval … if you say this or say that because I know what He says about me!”
“What God has appointed for you is appointed and arranged by the Spirit of God and He watches over to make sure it comes to pass.”
During Sunday’s sermon, the popular speaker and author told NDCC that religion “always wants to control you.”
“They want to keep you hooked on a person like an addict needing a needle … because as long as you are broke you will need them!”
“My job as a true, true anointed apostolic sent person is to empower you where you have no need of me except to lead you into the places where God wants to feed you! You should have enough power on the inside of you that you lay your hands not only on yourself, but anything around you.”
“There are a lot of people going to church but their life is not functioning,” she added.
“I want your life to function. I want the price that Jesus paid to be real for you. You should not be stressed out. You should not be having to pop a pill to go to bed. You should not be worrying. You should not be full of anxiety. You should not be lonely. You should not be broke all the time!”
“There should be joy, peace and prosperity in your life.”
“Your life does not give God glory when you are broke, busted … depressed,” White said.
“This is the last day there’s going to be strife in my home, poverty in my pocketbook, depression in my soul, confusion in my mind, addiction in my body.”
