Quotes 

• Elizabeth Jordan : I don't know where you are, Devil, but I know you can hear me. You have played with my mind and had your way long enough! No more! You are done! Jesus is the Lord of this house, and that means there's no place for you here anymore! So take your lies, your schemes, and your accusations and get out in Jesus' name! You can't have my marriage, you can't have my daughter and you sure can't have my man! This house is under new management and that means you are out! And another thing, I am so sick of you stealing my joy, but that's changing too. My joy doesn't come from my friends, it doesn't come from my job, it even doesn't come from my husband. My joy is found in Jesus, and just in case you forgot, he has already defeated you, so go back to Hell where you belong and leave my family alone!

• Miss Clara : My question to you is this. In light of all these wrongs, does God still love Tony?

  Elizabeth Jordan : We both know he does.

  Miss Clara : Do you?

  Elizabeth Jordan : Now, Miss Clara, you're meddling. There's love in my heart for Tony, but it's just buried under a lot of frustration.

  Miss Clara : So he needs grace.

  Elizabeth Jordan : Grace? I don't know that he deserve grace.

  Miss Clara : Do you deserve grace?

  Elizabeth Jordan : Miss Clara, you have a habit of backing me up in a corner and making me squirm.

  Miss Clara : I felt the same way. But the question still remains. Do you deserve grace?

• Elizabeth Jordan : I don't make sense when I'm tired.

  Danielle Jordan : Then you must be *really* tired.

• Miss Clara : Elizabeth, I think it's time for me to show you my favourite place in this house.

  [Goes upstairs, into a closet] 

  Miss Clara : Now, this is where I do my fighting.

  Elizabeth Jordan : A closet?

  Miss Clara : I call it my war room.

  Elizabeth Jordan : [Checks out closet walls covered with prayers]  So... So, you wrote prayers for each area of your life?

  Miss Clara : A prayer strategy. Yes.

• Elizabeth Jordan : I don't make sense when I'm tired.

  Veronica Drake : Then you must be *really* tired.

• Mrs. Jones : [after Charles going in and out of closet]  Charles, what are you doing?

  Rev. Charles Jones : Someone's been praying in this closet.

  Elizabeth Jordan : That's right. That was her prayer closet. How did you know that?

  Rev. Charles Jones : It's almost like it's baked in.

  [pause] 

  Rev. Charles Jones : Ma'am, we'll take the house.

• Elizabeth Jordan : You never told that your son was the city manager!

  Miss Clara : I didn't? My son's the city manager.
