| Mike Signorelli - You're Fighting Battles Your Parents Never Won (Part 1) | October 8, 2025
  • How many people claim to get saved?
  • 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:03.990
  • But their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:06.426
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:06.426 --> 00:00:08.194
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.194 --> 00:00:12.198
  • Something's gotta change because you say.
  • 00:00:13.066 --> 00:00:14.634
  • If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:14.634 --> 00:00:17.137
  • But it's about this density.
  • 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:18.905
  • So let me destroy.
  • 00:00:18.905 --> 00:00:20.607
  • Oh, come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:20.607 --> 00:00:28.581
  • Oh, oh.
  • 00:00:28.815 --> 00:00:33.620
  • Generational thoughts become generational behaviors.
  • 00:00:34.687 --> 00:00:38.658
  • Generational behaviors become generational actions.
  • 00:00:39.692 --> 00:00:42.796
  • Generational actions can become generational sin.
  • 00:00:43.797 --> 00:00:46.933
  • Generational sin becomes iniquity, and then iniquity becomes identity.
  • 00:00:48.301 --> 00:00:52.372
  • And your identity in sin opens up the door to the demonic.
  • 00:00:53.540 --> 00:00:56.342
  • Do you see what i just did there?
  • 00:00:57.077 --> 00:00:58.912
  • This is why you've got to read the book, because it goes very deep
  • 00:00:58.912 --> 00:01:01.247
  • Into the generations and even gives you diagnostic tools
  • 00:01:01.247 --> 00:01:04.851
  • To determine these things.
  • 00:01:04.851 --> 00:01:06.419
  • So somebody on both sides of your family
  • 00:01:06.419 --> 00:01:09.789
  • Was presented with stress, anxiety and fear.
  • 00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:14.060
  • Worry.
  • 00:01:14.294 --> 00:01:15.495
  • They were presented with pressure.
  • 00:01:15.495 --> 00:01:17.197
  • They were presented with trauma.
  • 00:01:17.197 --> 00:01:19.232
  • Things happen.
  • 00:01:19.232 --> 00:01:20.366
  • And they had to make a choice.
  • 00:01:20.366 --> 00:01:22.302
  • When they were confronted with those things.
  • 00:01:22.302 --> 00:01:24.938
  • So let's be honest.
  • 00:01:24.938 --> 00:01:27.273
  • The problem is not alcohol.
  • 00:01:27.874 --> 00:01:30.510
  • Alcohol is a bad solution for a problem.
  • 00:01:30.510 --> 00:01:33.813
  • The problem is not heroin.
  • 00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:36.316
  • Heroin is somebodys choice that they made to solve a problem.
  • 00:01:36.316 --> 00:01:41.588
  • So we got to go to the root.
  • 00:01:42.188 --> 00:01:43.690
  • Because i had a point. i thought i had an alcohol problem.
  • 00:01:43.690 --> 00:01:45.925
  • Alcohol wasn't the problem.
  • 00:01:45.925 --> 00:01:47.227
  • It was a bad solution.
  • 00:01:47.227 --> 00:01:49.429
  • So. and it really goes back down to your thought life.
  • 00:01:49.429 --> 00:01:52.999
  • Because.
  • 00:01:53.266 --> 00:01:54.868
  • Show me your thought life and i'll show you your whole life.
  • 00:01:54.868 --> 00:01:57.170
  • Because your life is a reflection of your thoughts.
  • 00:01:58.204 --> 00:02:01.141
  • Everything you're experiences as a result of your thoughts,
  • 00:02:02.342 --> 00:02:05.044
  • And you have much more control than you think that you do.
  • 00:02:06.212 --> 00:02:09.149
  • And the holy spirit said,
  • 00:02:09.716 --> 00:02:11.484
  • One of the fruits of being in relationship with me is self control.
  • 00:02:11.484 --> 00:02:14.521
  • So the more you come into alignment with the holy spirit, actually,
  • 00:02:15.822 --> 00:02:17.957
  • The more control
  • 00:02:17.957 --> 00:02:19.726
  • You will have over your whole life and it won't be what was done to you.
  • 00:02:19.726 --> 00:02:23.396
  • It's what you're doing to life.
  • 00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:25.598
  • Because i started in a trailer park in extreme poverty.
  • 00:02:25.598 --> 00:02:29.402
  • I started with a broken marriage between my mother and father.
  • 00:02:30.603 --> 00:02:32.939
  • And then my father committed murder.
  • 00:02:33.706 --> 00:02:34.941
  • I inherited nothing in a material way,
  • 00:02:34.941 --> 00:02:38.411
  • But everything in the way of trauma and sin and the demonic.
  • 00:02:39.579 --> 00:02:41.648
  • But my life is a story of saying that i am not a victim.
  • 00:02:42.749 --> 00:02:46.052
  • I am victorious through christ.
  • 00:02:46.686 --> 00:02:48.354
  • And you will eat your words, and you will have what you say.
  • 00:02:48.354 --> 00:02:52.625
  • Does anybody believe that?
  • 00:02:53.193 --> 00:02:54.093
  • We're all prophets.
  • 00:02:54.093 --> 00:02:55.395
  • Are you a good prophet or an evil prophet?
  • 00:02:55.395 --> 00:02:57.931
  • Because the bible says that your tongue is like a small rudder
  • 00:02:57.931 --> 00:03:01.501
  • That actually determines the whole ship and which direction it takes.
  • 00:03:01.501 --> 00:03:05.605
  • But then if you go deeper, the bible says that out of the abundance of the corazon,
  • 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.412
  • The mouth speaks.
  • 00:03:12.845 --> 00:03:14.514
  • So the problem is not even the tongue.
  • 00:03:14.514 --> 00:03:16.983
  • We've got to go deeper than the tongue.
  • 00:03:16.983 --> 00:03:19.118
  • We've got to go to the thought life.
  • 00:03:19.118 --> 00:03:21.588
  • And in the bible, the mind.
  • 00:03:21.588 --> 00:03:23.323
  • In the harder synonyms.
  • 00:03:23.323 --> 00:03:25.225
  • Somebody say guard the gates.
  • 00:03:25.225 --> 00:03:27.360
  • Oh, the bible says that your eyes are the window to your soul.
  • 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:32.532
  • Does it not guard the gates?
  • 00:03:33.132 --> 00:03:35.602
  • Somebody say, guard the gates.
  • 00:03:35.602 --> 00:03:37.837
  • Your eyes are the windows to your soul.
  • 00:03:37.837 --> 00:03:40.807
  • So, matter of fact, even on a biological level,
  • 00:03:40.807 --> 00:03:43.276
  • This is kind of gross and even weird to say it out loud,
  • 00:03:43.276 --> 00:03:45.845
  • But your eyes are literally an extension of your brain.
  • 00:03:45.845 --> 00:03:48.715
  • Have you ever seen a picture of it?
  • 00:03:48.715 --> 00:03:50.683
  • It's like the nerve comes out of your brain and then you.
  • 00:03:50.683 --> 00:03:53.786
  • So when you're looking, somebody in the eye is technically in a roundabout way.
  • 00:03:53.786 --> 00:03:58.191
  • You're looking them in the brain.
  • 00:03:58.925 --> 00:04:00.393
  • And some of you
  • 00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:02.495
  • Have made a resolution that you're going to buy organic food,
  • 00:04:02.495 --> 00:04:06.299
  • And you're only going to eat organic food, and you're doing the best thing
  • 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.303
  • You can for a body that's going to die no matter what.
  • 00:04:10.303 --> 00:04:14.507
  • But your soul is eternal, and you've not guarded the gates of your eyes.
  • 00:04:15.908 --> 00:04:19.345
  • You've chosen what goes into your mouth, but you still have not figured out that.
  • 00:04:20.913 --> 00:04:22.982
  • What's more important is what goes into your eyes.
  • 00:04:22.982 --> 00:04:25.918
  • Because what? come on, you buy organic food.
  • 00:04:25.918 --> 00:04:29.255
  • So that's you for your physical body.
  • 00:04:30.056 --> 00:04:31.291
  • That's temporary.
  • 00:04:31.291 --> 00:04:33.159
  • But not think twice about everything you're blurring through your eyes.
  • 00:04:33.159 --> 00:04:36.429
  • You got to learn how to guard the gates.
  • 00:04:36.429 --> 00:04:42.468
  • Everyone's clapping real slow here on long island.
  • 00:04:43.503 --> 00:04:45.038
  • I don't know how it is in brooklyn, but everyone's like,
  • 00:04:45.038 --> 00:04:47.006
  • What did i sign up to today?
  • 00:04:47.006 --> 00:04:49.776
  • Let me just tell you,
  • 00:04:49.776 --> 00:04:51.744
  • We have to guard the
  • 00:04:52.211 --> 00:04:53.446
  • Gates because our phone is a menu too.
  • 00:04:53.446 --> 00:04:56.549
  • And they're funny that they call it a menu when you're in the app
  • 00:04:57.750 --> 00:05:00.420
  • Because you're eating through your eyes.
  • 00:05:01.287 --> 00:05:02.889
  • What are you consuming?
  • 00:05:02.889 --> 00:05:04.757
  • Young men.
  • 00:05:04.757 --> 00:05:06.693
  • You should have never been allowed to see 1263
  • 00:05:06.693 --> 00:05:10.163
  • Women in bikinis before 3:00 oh oh.
  • 00:05:10.163 --> 00:05:13.800
  • Come on, i'm speaking to somebody.
  • 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.668
  • What happens when you when you eat through your eyes,
  • 00:05:15.668 --> 00:05:19.472
  • And then you have a wife and you are comparing her body
  • 00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.076
  • That bore your children to 10,000 women who never did.
  • 00:05:23.076 --> 00:05:27.747
  • Oh, no.
  • 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.682
  • We got a problem.
  • 00:05:29.682 --> 00:05:30.883
  • I'm speaking to somebody.
  • 00:05:30.883 --> 00:05:32.418
  • We got to guard the gates.
  • 00:05:32.418 --> 00:05:34.921
  • And i think the devil.
  • 00:05:34.921 --> 00:05:36.656
  • One of his biggest ploys was to get us having a phone in our hand.
  • 00:05:36.656 --> 00:05:39.692
  • And consuming and consuming, and we don't understand the implications
  • 00:05:41.094 --> 00:05:43.763
  • Of what we consume.
  • 00:05:43.763 --> 00:05:45.164
  • And so there's something about the level of the mind.
  • 00:05:45.164 --> 00:05:47.667
  • So i'm going to break down romans chapter 12, verse two,
  • 00:05:47.667 --> 00:05:50.937
  • Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed
  • 00:05:51.938 --> 00:05:54.073
  • By the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern
  • 00:05:54.073 --> 00:05:59.445
  • What is the will of god, the perfect and acceptable will of god.
  • 00:06:00.747 --> 00:06:04.150
  • Well, i don't know if god wants me to move.
  • 00:06:05.084 --> 00:06:06.285
  • I'm thinking about going to florida.
  • 00:06:06.285 --> 00:06:07.620
  • I don't know if god wants me to do it.
  • 00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:09.822
  • I don't know if god wants me to marry him.
  • 00:06:10.723 --> 00:06:12.825
  • I know he's not saved and doesn't have a job and he has a drinking problem.
  • 00:06:12.825 --> 00:06:16.028
  • But man, he's cute.
  • 00:06:16.028 --> 00:06:19.365
  • This is how i hear it when people come in.
  • 00:06:20.266 --> 00:06:22.034
  • Oh, i know he kind of
  • 00:06:22.034 --> 00:06:23.903
  • Has an anger problem and broke five holes in a wall in his house,
  • 00:06:23.903 --> 00:06:27.540
  • But he's got so much potential, i don't know if it's the lord or not.
  • 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:31.844
  • I don't know if i should go to v1, because at that other church
  • 00:06:33.045 --> 00:06:35.748
  • I just get mildly abused by that narcissistic leader.
  • 00:06:35.748 --> 00:06:38.618
  • But we have a history and i just feel comfortable there.
  • 00:06:38.618 --> 00:06:40.920
  • And i like little churches.
  • 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.890
  • I don't know what the lord's will is.
  • 00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:47.226
  • Well, the problem is that just got a little too real.
  • 00:06:48.261 --> 00:06:50.463
  • Somebody is already traumatized by this sermon.
  • 00:06:51.397 --> 00:06:52.732
  • They were like, what? did he bug my house?
  • 00:06:52.732 --> 00:06:56.002
  • Was he was he wiretapping?
  • 00:06:56.569 --> 00:06:58.471
  • So here's the thing. how do i know it?
  • 00:06:58.471 --> 00:07:00.773
  • Because there's so many christians that are regenerated, but not renewed.
  • 00:07:00.773 --> 00:07:05.311
  • See, when you get saved, when you accept the finished work
  • 00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:09.515
  • Of the cross, your spirit that was dead is brought to life.
  • 00:07:09.515 --> 00:07:13.820
  • But see, there's a command in romans chapter 12 to renew your mind.
  • 00:07:15.154 --> 00:07:18.391
  • So jesus regenerated you, but you renew you.
  • 00:07:19.325 --> 00:07:22.562
  • And this is the problem was we have christians that are regenerated
  • 00:07:23.863 --> 00:07:26.732
  • But not renewed, so they can't discern the perfect will of god
  • 00:07:27.900 --> 00:07:31.304
  • Because in their mind they're battling out with god.
  • 00:07:32.371 --> 00:07:34.674
  • How can you fight him and surrender to him at the same time?
  • 00:07:35.942 --> 00:07:38.177
  • And let me put it another way.
  • 00:07:38.811 --> 00:07:40.213
  • How could you hear him talk if you don't get the
  • 00:07:40.213 --> 00:07:43.282
  • Because you're
  • 00:07:43.649 --> 00:07:45.051
  • Talking while god's talking, and if you stop talking,
  • 00:07:45.051 --> 00:07:47.653
  • You might actually be able to hear what he has to say.
  • 00:07:48.754 --> 00:07:49.689
  • So there's a form of surrender.
  • 00:07:49.689 --> 00:07:51.657
  • Instead of me telling god what i want, he tells me what i need and i say, okay,
  • 00:07:51.657 --> 00:07:56.095
  • I'll do this thing.
  • 00:07:56.562 --> 00:07:57.997
  • And then that might mean that for some of you ladies,
  • 00:07:57.997 --> 00:07:59.632
  • You need to stop duping yourself and try to convince yourself
  • 00:07:59.632 --> 00:08:02.702
  • That this guy's going to get saved and you need to let him go.
  • 00:08:02.702 --> 00:08:07.139
  • Yeah, and some of you got to stop.
  • 00:08:07.907 --> 00:08:09.942
  • You know, the bible said a double minded person is unstable in all their ways.
  • 00:08:09.942 --> 00:08:15.314
  • So double mindedness doesn't just affect your relationship shifts.
  • 00:08:16.616 --> 00:08:18.818
  • It affects your finances. it affects your future.
  • 00:08:18.818 --> 00:08:21.320
  • It affects your creation, affects every aspect of your life.
  • 00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:24.657
  • A double minded person
  • 00:08:25.157 --> 00:08:26.859
  • Is unstable in all their ways, and we have double minded christians.
  • 00:08:26.859 --> 00:08:30.730
  • You know, you can't have two churches because in two means double.
  • 00:08:32.031 --> 00:08:34.534
  • You'll be double minded. which pastor do you listen to?
  • 00:08:34.534 --> 00:08:37.270
  • Probably the one that you agree with.
  • 00:08:37.270 --> 00:08:38.971
  • But that's not what you need.
  • 00:08:38.971 --> 00:08:40.506
  • You need somebody
  • 00:08:40.506 --> 00:08:42.308
  • That will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
  • 00:08:42.308 --> 00:08:44.744
  • Then, if you're near one of our campuses,
  • 00:08:45.611 --> 00:08:47.513
  • I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:08:47.513 --> 00:08:52.451
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:57.023
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:08:58.024 --> 00:09:00.660
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:09:01.627 --> 00:09:03.462
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:09:03.462 --> 00:09:07.400
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
  • 00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:14.874
  • The thing that you need about
  • 00:09:15.508 --> 00:09:17.410
  • Your mind is your thoughts are inherited.
  • 00:09:17.410 --> 00:09:21.013
  • This is what i'm trying to help you understand.
  • 00:09:21.948 --> 00:09:23.316
  • And you probably didn't inherit biblical thoughts.
  • 00:09:23.316 --> 00:09:27.186
  • So people
  • 00:09:27.486 --> 00:09:29.555
  • All the time say, i don't like what pastor mike says about this subject or this.
  • 00:09:29.555 --> 00:09:31.824
  • What they don't understand is that my goal
  • 00:09:32.725 --> 00:09:34.860
  • As a preacher is to not say my opinion.
  • 00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:38.230
  • My goal is to get up here and tell you what his opinion is in the word.
  • 00:09:39.665 --> 00:09:42.868
  • As clear as i can make it.
  • 00:09:43.436 --> 00:09:45.271
  • Matter of fact, there's some things i wish i could change in the bible,
  • 00:09:45.271 --> 00:09:48.174
  • But i can't change because god's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
  • 00:09:49.609 --> 00:09:52.345
  • And if he said it in his word, i have to submit to what he says,
  • 00:09:53.579 --> 00:09:56.148
  • Not what i think, because what i think i got from a man,
  • 00:09:56.148 --> 00:10:00.052
  • But what he says came from the throne, and i don't need see, if you
  • 00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:03.990
  • Do man's thoughts, you get man's ways and you get man's results.
  • 00:10:03.990 --> 00:10:08.527
  • But if you do it god's way, you get god's results.
  • 00:10:09.528 --> 00:10:11.931
  • So there's a submission that has to take place to his ways.
  • 00:10:13.099 --> 00:10:15.701
  • But how can you submit to a word you don't read?
  • 00:10:16.669 --> 00:10:19.105
  • For my people
  • 00:10:19.472 --> 00:10:20.640
  • Perish for the lack of knowledge?
  • 00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:23.509
  • Well, pastor mike, i'm too busy to read the bible,
  • 00:10:24.510 --> 00:10:27.380
  • But you're not too busy to scroll,
  • 00:10:28.147 --> 00:10:31.050
  • Pastor mike. but i'm tired.
  • 00:10:31.651 --> 00:10:33.085
  • But you stayed up all night scrolling.
  • 00:10:33.085 --> 00:10:36.322
  • Pastor mike.
  • 00:10:36.656 --> 00:10:37.590
  • My kids are too loud.
  • 00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:39.291
  • Buy some headphones.
  • 00:10:39.291 --> 00:10:42.728
  • Come on, devil.
  • 00:10:43.095 --> 00:10:46.432
  • Stop making excuses and start making moves.
  • 00:10:47.366 --> 00:10:50.803
  • Move into his presence.
  • 00:10:51.303 --> 00:10:53.039
  • Move into daily discipline.
  • 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.041
  • If you can shower every day, you can pray every day.
  • 00:10:55.041 --> 00:10:57.877
  • If you can brush your teeth every day, some of you need to.
  • 00:10:57.877 --> 00:11:00.579
  • That's a daily thing. twice a day would be even better.
  • 00:11:00.579 --> 00:11:03.449
  • You can pray it.
  • 00:11:03.449 --> 00:11:05.017
  • Come on down for, you know. so we've got it.
  • 00:11:05.017 --> 00:11:07.787
  • I think being a christian, what happens with the
  • 00:11:07.787 --> 00:11:10.322
  • With being a christian is the deeper you get, the more basic you become.
  • 00:11:10.322 --> 00:11:14.427
  • Everybody thinks that the
  • 00:11:14.994 --> 00:11:16.595
  • Deeper you get as a christian, the more profound you come.
  • 00:11:16.595 --> 00:11:19.732
  • You know what's profound?
  • 00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:21.000
  • Pray every day.
  • 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:21.701
  • That's profound.
  • 00:11:21.701 --> 00:11:23.035
  • Read the bible every day. that's profound.
  • 00:11:23.035 --> 00:11:25.137
  • Matter of fact, the deeper you go into christianity, the more simple you become.
  • 00:11:25.137 --> 00:11:28.841
  • You actually forgive people.
  • 00:11:29.442 --> 00:11:30.876
  • Instead of holding grudges, you actually reconcile.
  • 00:11:30.876 --> 00:11:33.979
  • You actually tell the gospel to the person that's walking in the grocery store.
  • 00:11:35.548 --> 00:11:38.050
  • Buy you that.
  • 00:11:38.050 --> 00:11:39.518
  • The holy spirit gave you a word of knowledge for you.
  • 00:11:39.518 --> 00:11:41.220
  • Actually pray for sick people.
  • 00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:42.655
  • When they're sick, you actually come into work,
  • 00:11:42.655 --> 00:11:44.757
  • And you work with all your might in a way that honors and glorifies god.
  • 00:11:44.757 --> 00:11:48.527
  • So to go deeper in the christian faith is to become more simple.
  • 00:11:49.762 --> 00:11:52.465
  • And that's why we have itching ears that are like, give me some crazy
  • 00:11:53.833 --> 00:11:56.535
  • Prophetic word.
  • 00:11:56.535 --> 00:11:57.970
  • You know, give me some greek, hebrew, aramaic word.
  • 00:11:57.970 --> 00:12:01.073
  • Give me some kind of. it's like we're always seeking.
  • 00:12:02.141 --> 00:12:03.642
  • We're always seeking the these, these, crazy experiences.
  • 00:12:03.642 --> 00:12:07.480
  • But i think when i think when i look at renewing your mind, what it is, is
  • 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:12.952
  • Just simply submitting to the fundamental truths of the way god thinks.
  • 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.356
  • And and it sounds so easy, but actually, it's so hard.
  • 00:12:18.457 --> 00:12:22.762
  • It's easy.
  • 00:12:23.062 --> 00:12:24.530
  • It's it's easy to understand, but it's hard to do so.
  • 00:12:24.530 --> 00:12:27.967
  • Like understanding forgiveness is easy, but actually forgiving
  • 00:12:27.967 --> 00:12:31.871
  • The person who's sexually assaulted you is very hard.
  • 00:12:31.871 --> 00:12:34.874
  • It's it's easy to understand.
  • 00:12:34.874 --> 00:12:36.776
  • I shouldn't be walking around angry, but when you feel angry,
  • 00:12:36.776 --> 00:12:40.146
  • Switching your your your, you know, the holy.
  • 00:12:40.146 --> 00:12:43.215
  • Have you ever done that?
  • 00:12:43.215 --> 00:12:45.284
  • Will you try to switch out of an emotion that's hard to do because you're likable?
  • 00:12:45.284 --> 00:12:48.420
  • But i know why i'm angry and it's super justifiable.
  • 00:12:48.420 --> 00:12:52.124
  • So switching out of that is the hard thing, right?
  • 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.494
  • It's like, you know, understanding how you should honor god in your finances
  • 00:12:56.996 --> 00:12:59.431
  • And make a budget
  • 00:12:59.431 --> 00:13:01.300
  • That includes seeking the kingdom first, and he'll add all this unto you.
  • 00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:04.136
  • That's easy.
  • 00:13:04.470 --> 00:13:06.438
  • But then that moment comes the sign up for reoccurring and you're like, no,
  • 00:13:06.438 --> 00:13:08.207
  • I'll be an emotional giver and i'll give when i have a lot of money
  • 00:13:08.207 --> 00:13:11.744
  • And i won't give when i don't, and then i'll give when i feel like it.
  • 00:13:13.145 --> 00:13:14.713
  • It's like what we do is we go the way of least resistance.
  • 00:13:14.713 --> 00:13:18.350
  • Which is why jesus said, it's a narrow road.
  • 00:13:19.251 --> 00:13:22.154
  • It's a narrow gate, and many won't walk it.
  • 00:13:23.055 --> 00:13:24.557
  • It's not because they don't understand how to walk it.
  • 00:13:24.557 --> 00:13:27.459
  • It's because they don't want to actually do the commands.
  • 00:13:27.459 --> 00:13:31.130
  • And this is why you fill up whole conferences with people who want prophecy.
  • 00:13:32.665 --> 00:13:35.601
  • But you can't get people to distribute food in brooklyn because we
  • 00:13:36.936 --> 00:13:39.471
  • We don't want to do the commands of jesus.
  • 00:13:40.372 --> 00:13:41.941
  • We just want to hear about him and make ourselves feel better.
  • 00:13:41.941 --> 00:13:44.810
  • It's so we have to.
  • 00:13:45.277 --> 00:13:46.579
  • Renewing your mind is much more about saying,
  • 00:13:46.579 --> 00:13:50.082
  • I've inherited multiple generations
  • 00:13:50.850 --> 00:13:52.785
  • Of attitudes, behaviors, and thoughts that i need to demolish and renovate
  • 00:13:52.785 --> 00:13:58.157
  • And destroy, and then i need to rebuild in my own mind, the mind of christ.
  • 00:13:59.658 --> 00:14:04.129
  • And that is hard work.
  • 00:14:04.630 --> 00:14:05.731
  • Yeah, i don't have a six pack yet.
  • 00:14:05.731 --> 00:14:09.301
  • I'm on my way, though.
  • 00:14:09.802 --> 00:14:12.238
  • Come on, don't be laughing.
  • 00:14:12.238 --> 00:14:16.542
  • But it becomes the equivalency of
  • 00:14:17.276 --> 00:14:20.613
  • When you see somebody with a physique and you admire it.
  • 00:14:21.747 --> 00:14:23.983
  • You knew that it took work.
  • 00:14:23.983 --> 00:14:26.252
  • And so to acknowledge a man or woman of god is not to make an idol of them,
  • 00:14:26.252 --> 00:14:31.657
  • But rather to acknowledge the work they put in to get to that point.
  • 00:14:33.058 --> 00:14:35.928
  • Is that makes sense?
  • 00:14:36.395 --> 00:14:38.197
  • Because be like, oh, i could look at the way they idolize julie.
  • 00:14:38.197 --> 00:14:41.166
  • You know, she's not all that.
  • 00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:42.735
  • She's just a humble servant.
  • 00:14:42.735 --> 00:14:44.503
  • And it's like, well, no, julie's been on a journey
  • 00:14:44.503 --> 00:14:46.939
  • To say, not my will, thy will, for so many years that it transformed her
  • 00:14:46.939 --> 00:14:52.278
  • Into the kind of woman that can lead with grace under fire and under pressure.
  • 00:14:53.846 --> 00:14:57.683
  • And so we're not honoring julie in the way that the world honors celebrities
  • 00:14:59.218 --> 00:15:01.954
  • Or makes an idol, but rather we're acknowledging, lord,
  • 00:15:01.954 --> 00:15:05.291
  • Maybe one day i can be as submitted as that.
  • 00:15:06.225 --> 00:15:07.660
  • Maybe one day i can be as committed as that.
  • 00:15:07.660 --> 00:15:10.229
  • Maybe. what? does that make sense?
  • 00:15:10.229 --> 00:15:11.897
  • So in the christian faith,
  • 00:15:11.897 --> 00:15:13.299
  • Because julie was telling me that the other day,
  • 00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:15.167
  • I was like, it's kind of weird when people want to take pictures with me.
  • 00:15:15.167 --> 00:15:17.536
  • And she said, no, these young guys who are taking pictures with you
  • 00:15:17.536 --> 00:15:21.373
  • Are the same guys
  • 00:15:21.807 --> 00:15:23.676
  • That nobody has a problem taking a picture with a basketball player,
  • 00:15:23.676 --> 00:15:25.911
  • But how much more somebody that's devoted their life to the gospel
  • 00:15:27.212 --> 00:15:29.748
  • To say like, you're not, you're not making an idol,
  • 00:15:30.749 --> 00:15:32.418
  • But rather you're acknowledging, wow, i want to be
  • 00:15:32.418 --> 00:15:35.788
  • I want to work myself into that level of submission.
  • 00:15:36.855 --> 00:15:39.391
  • Does that make sense?
  • 00:15:39.892 --> 00:15:41.193
  • So renewing your mind. so this is my point.
  • 00:15:41.193 --> 00:15:44.496
  • Nobody can see in my mind, but you can see the effects of my mind.
  • 00:15:45.831 --> 00:15:49.201
  • Oh, i'm talking to somebody nobody can see in my mind.
  • 00:15:50.302 --> 00:15:53.839
  • But you see the results of my mind.
  • 00:15:54.640 --> 00:15:56.508
  • And that is the point of working with this.
  • 00:15:56.508 --> 00:15:58.444
  • Do not be conformed to the world.
  • 00:15:58.444 --> 00:16:00.346
  • So let's go into the greek.
  • 00:16:00.346 --> 00:16:01.947
  • The greek word for world is world is schema.
  • 00:16:02.848 --> 00:16:06.085
  • And schema sounds like what schemes?
  • 00:16:06.852 --> 00:16:09.555
  • So do not be conformed to the schemes,
  • 00:16:10.389 --> 00:16:13.926
  • The scheming, the schematics, the plans,
  • 00:16:14.760 --> 00:16:17.463
  • The blueprints of the world, the visible that you can see with your own eyes.
  • 00:16:17.463 --> 00:16:22.468
  • I just want to do a little test.
  • 00:16:23.102 --> 00:16:23.969
  • Let's do a little test.
  • 00:16:23.969 --> 00:16:25.537
  • When you go back home to your apartment or to your house,
  • 00:16:25.537 --> 00:16:28.741
  • You have a place for a bed to sleep.
  • 00:16:29.508 --> 00:16:32.378
  • You have a place for a table to eat, food you have a shower to rinse your body.
  • 00:16:33.946 --> 00:16:37.449
  • Well, can i just submit to you?
  • 00:16:38.083 --> 00:16:39.585
  • Probably every part of your house has been partitioned
  • 00:16:39.585 --> 00:16:42.988
  • To meet some physical need, but very few of us
  • 00:16:42.988 --> 00:16:46.558
  • Have any space in our house that was devoted to the eternal.
  • 00:16:46.558 --> 00:16:50.396
  • There's your evidence, and i'm not saying that to convict you, but to make a point
  • 00:16:51.964 --> 00:16:55.300
  • When when you go to a jewish person's house,
  • 00:16:56.235 --> 00:16:58.837
  • You'll see on their door posts something.
  • 00:16:59.738 --> 00:17:01.140
  • Do you know what i'm talking about?
  • 00:17:01.140 --> 00:17:03.208
  • Because they said, keep these promises at your door posts.
  • 00:17:03.208 --> 00:17:06.812
  • If you come into a muslim's house, you'll find mats that they roll out
  • 00:17:08.213 --> 00:17:10.783
  • So that they can adhere to their daily prayers.
  • 00:17:11.717 --> 00:17:13.652
  • So the problem with christians is we become so natural minded
  • 00:17:13.652 --> 00:17:18.357
  • And our whole world we've built around what we can see with our physical eyes,
  • 00:17:19.925 --> 00:17:22.661
  • That schema and what paul the apostle was doing
  • 00:17:22.661 --> 00:17:26.265
  • Because he was ministering to two groups of people,
  • 00:17:27.266 --> 00:17:29.034
  • He was ministering to pagans that didn't know the god of abraham,
  • 00:17:29.034 --> 00:17:33.038
  • Isaac, and jacob and certainly didn't know yeshua jesus.
  • 00:17:33.038 --> 00:17:36.875
  • But he also was ministering to, in addition to pagans, to jews
  • 00:17:38.043 --> 00:17:41.246
  • As well, who also did not know christ as messiah
  • 00:17:41.246 --> 00:17:44.817
  • And what he was trying to explain in a lot.
  • 00:17:45.717 --> 00:17:47.686
  • And we're looking at the book of romans, is get your eyes off of what you see,
  • 00:17:47.686 --> 00:17:52.124
  • Because what you see with your physical eyes is temporary,
  • 00:17:52.124 --> 00:17:56.061
  • But then you have to put your eyes on what is eternal.
  • 00:17:57.162 --> 00:17:59.198
  • But then he's going a little bit deeper and he's saying, don't
  • 00:17:59.198 --> 00:18:01.934
  • Mold your life after that which is visible.
  • 00:18:01.934 --> 00:18:05.838
  • And so instead be transformed by the renewal or the word in greek
  • 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.210
  • For renewal is the same as renovation by the renovation of your mind.
  • 00:18:12.578 --> 00:18:16.381
  • So if i could help you understand this right now,
  • 00:18:17.382 --> 00:18:19.518
  • In this era, everything is the physical.
  • 00:18:20.352 --> 00:18:22.921
  • I have to wear clothes.
  • 00:18:23.422 --> 00:18:24.756
  • I have to buy a car to drive around.
  • 00:18:24.756 --> 00:18:27.059
  • I have to get an apartment to shelter my physical body.
  • 00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:30.362
  • I have to get food for my physical body.
  • 00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:32.798
  • I have to educate my physical brain.
  • 00:18:32.798 --> 00:18:35.134
  • Everything in our life is relegated mainly to the physical realm.
  • 00:18:35.134 --> 00:18:39.238
  • But in order to be a christian, you have to actually
  • 00:18:40.272 --> 00:18:42.574
  • Reverse the entire order of our existence
  • 00:18:43.442 --> 00:18:45.677
  • To where the spiritual is number one and everything follows after that.
  • 00:18:47.146 --> 00:18:50.482
  • The eternal is number one and every.
  • 00:18:51.250 --> 00:18:53.018
  • So when you go to a church and they ask you to give your finances,
  • 00:18:53.018 --> 00:18:57.389
  • If you are a christian that's regenerated but not renewed,
  • 00:18:58.557 --> 00:19:00.959
  • Then you are thinking about the physical and not the spiritual,
  • 00:19:02.161 --> 00:19:04.029
  • And you don't even understand spiritual rewards.
  • 00:19:04.029 --> 00:19:06.865
  • And so you haven't
  • 00:19:06.865 --> 00:19:08.600
  • Read the book of hebrews that says when you give your finances, it's
  • 00:19:08.600 --> 00:19:11.570
  • As if you laid it before the feet of jesus, but you.
  • 00:19:11.570 --> 00:19:15.007
  • So you're thinking
  • 00:19:15.007 --> 00:19:16.975
  • That you're giving your money to a church because the church needs your money,
  • 00:19:16.975 --> 00:19:19.912
  • Because you're a christian that hasn't renewed your mind,
  • 00:19:21.046 --> 00:19:22.447
  • So you don't understand the spiritual.
  • 00:19:22.447 --> 00:19:24.449
  • Actually, according to the book of hebrews,
  • 00:19:24.449 --> 00:19:26.185
  • You've never given to a church you've given directly to jesus.
  • 00:19:26.185 --> 00:19:30.189
  • But if you don't believe that you're going to be offended,
  • 00:19:31.356 --> 00:19:32.558
  • Or every time the offering happens,
  • 00:19:32.558 --> 00:19:34.426
  • So then you're going to want a control over it.
  • 00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:38.630
  • Oh, i'm speaking to somebody.
  • 00:19:39.264 --> 00:19:40.566
  • Hey, mike, cigna rally here in the studio.
  • 00:19:40.566 --> 00:19:42.634
  • We're getting ready to jump back into the sermon.
  • 00:19:42.634 --> 00:19:45.103
  • But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
  • 00:19:45.103 --> 00:19:48.106
  • That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app.
  • 00:19:48.106 --> 00:19:52.144
  • And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
  • 00:19:53.545 --> 00:19:57.182
  • And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
  • 00:19:58.283 --> 00:20:00.252
  • I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
  • 00:20:00.252 --> 00:20:04.690
  • Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
  • 00:20:04.690 --> 00:20:08.527
  • In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:20:08.527 --> 00:20:12.998
  • It's called the breakers of mobile app.
  • 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.734
  • It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
  • 00:20:15.734 --> 00:20:19.605
  • I will see you there.
  • 00:20:19.605 --> 00:20:24.810
  • So it's the same way, like
  • 00:20:25.377 --> 00:20:27.946
  • When you're going through various trials and different temptations.
  • 00:20:27.946 --> 00:20:32.150
  • If you're looking through the lens of the natural realm, it makes no sense.
  • 00:20:33.652 --> 00:20:36.521
  • I'm just suffering because of other people's mistakes.
  • 00:20:37.623 --> 00:20:39.691
  • But if you're like joseph, you can look at your brothers
  • 00:20:40.826 --> 00:20:42.894
  • Who betrayed you and say what you meant for harm.
  • 00:20:42.894 --> 00:20:46.632
  • I could see into the spiritual realm.
  • 00:20:47.399 --> 00:20:49.134
  • God had to do all that and allow it to happen through you
  • 00:20:49.134 --> 00:20:52.904
  • For the working of my good, because the only way
  • 00:20:53.905 --> 00:20:56.141
  • That i get to the palace is through the pit and through the prison.
  • 00:20:56.141 --> 00:20:59.978
  • And so it makes total sense to joseph, because joseph
  • 00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.548
  • Is looking through the spiritual realm.
  • 00:21:03.548 --> 00:21:05.284
  • But what happens when you have a victim mindset?
  • 00:21:05.284 --> 00:21:07.919
  • Yeah. oh, it's long island.
  • 00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:10.489
  • If i wasn't on long island, i would have a house.
  • 00:21:10.489 --> 00:21:12.824
  • If i wasn't on long island, i would have a car.
  • 00:21:12.824 --> 00:21:15.093
  • If i wasn't on long island, i would have more if i wasn't in brooklyn.
  • 00:21:15.093 --> 00:21:18.397
  • Brooklyn's the problem. it's in new york city.
  • 00:21:18.397 --> 00:21:20.399
  • If i wasn't, you're a victim because the spiritual realm
  • 00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:24.336
  • Doesn't play by the same rules as the us economy.
  • 00:21:24.336 --> 00:21:27.606
  • So in the natural realm, long island is more expensive than indiana.
  • 00:21:28.974 --> 00:21:32.010
  • But in the spiritual realm,
  • 00:21:32.611 --> 00:21:34.346
  • The most expensive place to live is the one that you don't sow into
  • 00:21:34.346 --> 00:21:38.317
  • Are you guys? do you want to revelate with me?
  • 00:21:39.284 --> 00:21:42.087
  • The bible says if you sow sparingly,
  • 00:21:42.087 --> 00:21:44.656
  • You reap sparingly, and if you so generously, you reap generously.
  • 00:21:44.656 --> 00:21:49.861
  • And so it's not about the region, it's about the seed.
  • 00:21:50.929 --> 00:21:52.531
  • And some of you
  • 00:21:52.531 --> 00:21:54.633
  • Are paying more attention to the soil, but it doesn't say anything about the soil.
  • 00:21:54.633 --> 00:21:57.569
  • It says everything about the seed
  • 00:21:58.303 --> 00:22:00.072
  • And so the soil of long island, it's the same as the soil of indiana.
  • 00:22:00.072 --> 00:22:03.041
  • The difference is the seed.
  • 00:22:03.041 --> 00:22:05.811
  • But that's a mindset.
  • 00:22:05.811 --> 00:22:07.779
  • So i'm not a victim in long island.
  • 00:22:07.779 --> 00:22:10.649
  • I'm not a victim in new york city.
  • 00:22:10.649 --> 00:22:12.984
  • I show seed in new york city, and i show seed in indiana
  • 00:22:12.984 --> 00:22:17.356
  • Because i'm submitted
  • 00:22:17.856 --> 00:22:19.424
  • To the spiritual reality, which supersedes the physical reality.
  • 00:22:19.424 --> 00:22:22.928
  • Does this make sense?
  • 00:22:23.428 --> 00:22:24.696
  • Are y'all normally this quiet in 1235?
  • 00:22:24.696 --> 00:22:28.333
  • Probably. you're like, just pray for me.
  • 00:22:29.167 --> 00:22:30.502
  • I just need deliverance right now.
  • 00:22:30.502 --> 00:22:32.804
  • Now, if you're
  • 00:22:33.171 --> 00:22:34.506
  • Feeling convicted, that was not my intention.
  • 00:22:34.506 --> 00:22:36.975
  • My intention was to simply expose to you that when you if you call yourself
  • 00:22:38.443 --> 00:22:42.280
  • A christian, the standard by which you live is the word of god.
  • 00:22:43.515 --> 00:22:46.885
  • So the more of the word of god you know, and the more of the word of god
  • 00:22:48.320 --> 00:22:51.223
  • You obey, then you are going to have to renovate your mind.
  • 00:22:51.223 --> 00:22:55.093
  • So let's talk about renovation.
  • 00:22:55.727 --> 00:22:57.129
  • Renovation of my favorite part about the, about
  • 00:22:57.129 --> 00:23:00.899
  • Renovation is demolition.
  • 00:23:00.899 --> 00:23:04.136
  • Come on, say that with me.
  • 00:23:04.703 --> 00:23:05.370
  • Demolition.
  • 00:23:05.370 --> 00:23:07.139
  • The root word of demolition is demolish.
  • 00:23:07.139 --> 00:23:09.975
  • So in order to renovate your mind, you have to demolish some things.
  • 00:23:09.975 --> 00:23:14.980
  • So in your mind, you can't put new thoughts on top of old thoughts.
  • 00:23:16.281 --> 00:23:19.985
  • You have to demolish the old thoughts and you have to build over.
  • 00:23:21.286 --> 00:23:24.289
  • And some of you have tried to put together a secular thinking
  • 00:23:25.490 --> 00:23:28.193
  • With a christian thinking.
  • 00:23:28.760 --> 00:23:30.061
  • And you think christianity doesn't work?
  • 00:23:30.061 --> 00:23:31.696
  • No, baby, god's word works.
  • 00:23:31.696 --> 00:23:33.698
  • But you can't combine god's word with the secular way of thinking.
  • 00:23:33.698 --> 00:23:38.603
  • That's why jesus said, you've got to go all in.
  • 00:23:39.538 --> 00:23:41.373
  • You've got to come 100%.
  • 00:23:41.373 --> 00:23:42.974
  • Let the dead bury their own dead.
  • 00:23:42.974 --> 00:23:44.776
  • Go sell off your properties.
  • 00:23:44.776 --> 00:23:46.378
  • Do whatever you can to come 100%.
  • 00:23:46.378 --> 00:23:49.314
  • Because if you put new wine into an old wineskin,
  • 00:23:49.314 --> 00:23:53.251
  • The old wineskin ruptures and you lose all the wine.
  • 00:23:54.286 --> 00:23:56.488
  • And so god has brought you to this place right now to say a done.
  • 00:23:57.756 --> 00:24:00.826
  • Oh, well, we did it this way at our old church.
  • 00:24:01.760 --> 00:24:03.128
  • Well, i don't care.
  • 00:24:03.128 --> 00:24:04.563
  • Behold, god is doing a new thing.
  • 00:24:04.563 --> 00:24:07.332
  • It's time to do away with the old.
  • 00:24:07.332 --> 00:24:09.401
  • Oh, but my mom taught me. taught me this.
  • 00:24:09.401 --> 00:24:11.536
  • But your mom had debilitating depression.
  • 00:24:11.536 --> 00:24:14.105
  • Who are you going to listen to?
  • 00:24:14.105 --> 00:24:15.574
  • I want to hear about freedom from a free person.
  • 00:24:15.574 --> 00:24:19.177
  • I want to hear about blessing from a blessed person.
  • 00:24:20.212 --> 00:24:21.980
  • I'm not taking advice from broke people about my money,
  • 00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:26.318
  • You know what i'm saying?
  • 00:24:26.885 --> 00:24:28.253
  • And you got broke.
  • 00:24:28.253 --> 00:24:29.654
  • Pastors talking about money and different theology.
  • 00:24:29.654 --> 00:24:32.224
  • But their bank account does not reflect the blessing of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
  • 00:24:32.224 --> 00:24:37.496
  • And i'm here to demolish a poverty gospel
  • 00:24:38.296 --> 00:24:40.799
  • Because we're going to need resources to flow through the nations.
  • 00:24:42.133 --> 00:24:44.970
  • And there is a reason why god wants to set you free in your mind.
  • 00:24:46.304 --> 00:24:48.473
  • Because you don't have a money problem.
  • 00:24:49.341 --> 00:24:50.842
  • You have a worry problem, you don't have a money problem.
  • 00:24:50.842 --> 00:24:52.677
  • You've got an anxiety problem.
  • 00:24:52.677 --> 00:24:54.346
  • You don't have a money problem. you have a budget problem.
  • 00:24:54.346 --> 00:24:56.882
  • You don't have a money problem. you have a discipline problem.
  • 00:24:56.882 --> 00:24:59.584
  • But see, when god begins to deal with that, why?
  • 00:24:59.584 --> 00:25:02.854
  • Why go to the root?
  • 00:25:03.321 --> 00:25:05.023
  • Go to the root, go to the root, go to the root.
  • 00:25:05.023 --> 00:25:08.426
  • Some of you watch this.
  • 00:25:08.927 --> 00:25:10.929
  • You married a spouse.
  • 00:25:10.929 --> 00:25:12.464
  • It's the same spouse you married.
  • 00:25:13.231 --> 00:25:15.967
  • But what changed was your mind?
  • 00:25:15.967 --> 00:25:18.336
  • What changed was their mind.
  • 00:25:18.336 --> 00:25:20.372
  • It's in the mind.
  • 00:25:20.372 --> 00:25:21.773
  • So god wants to go into your mind.
  • 00:25:21.773 --> 00:25:23.842
  • God wants to do what it says by the transformation, but be transformed.
  • 00:25:23.842 --> 00:25:28.613
  • That word transform is metamorphosis.
  • 00:25:29.414 --> 00:25:31.583
  • Metamorphosis is different than maturity.
  • 00:25:32.384 --> 00:25:36.054
  • Maturity is.
  • 00:25:36.388 --> 00:25:37.789
  • Pastor mike is 12 years old and i can't grow a beard
  • 00:25:37.789 --> 00:25:42.160
  • And i go through puberty and i can now grow a beard, praise god.
  • 00:25:43.428 --> 00:25:45.997
  • So that's maturity.
  • 00:25:46.464 --> 00:25:47.999
  • But maturity is not the same as transformation.
  • 00:25:47.999 --> 00:25:51.403
  • So i want to take the next step.
  • 00:25:52.037 --> 00:25:53.204
  • When you have a cocoon, that cocoon,
  • 00:25:53.204 --> 00:25:56.508
  • The caterpillar goes into the cocoon and actually melts down.
  • 00:25:57.709 --> 00:26:00.478
  • And this kind of weird turns into a goo and the the dna of that
  • 00:26:01.780 --> 00:26:05.283
  • Caterpillar shuts off and another dna expression actually is ignited.
  • 00:26:05.283 --> 00:26:10.589
  • And then it goes through a process.
  • 00:26:11.323 --> 00:26:13.124
  • And this is crazy.
  • 00:26:13.124 --> 00:26:14.626
  • Pastor danny, i'm going to credit him with this revelation
  • 00:26:14.626 --> 00:26:16.695
  • Because he came back to me and said, did you know that
  • 00:26:16.695 --> 00:26:19.698
  • When a caterpillar is in its cocoon, science says when that
  • 00:26:19.698 --> 00:26:23.134
  • When it turns into a butterfly, it has to go through the process
  • 00:26:23.134 --> 00:26:27.205
  • Of physically breaking out of the cocoon because it makes it strong enough
  • 00:26:28.673 --> 00:26:31.710
  • So that when it comes out of the cocoon, it can actually fly.
  • 00:26:32.877 --> 00:26:35.647
  • What's your cocoon?
  • 00:26:36.114 --> 00:26:39.851
  • I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:26:38.316 --> 00:26:43.488
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:44.322 --> 00:26:45.924
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:26:45.924 --> 00:26:47.826
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:26:47.826 --> 00:26:52.263
  • That we do around the united states and around the world,
  • 00:26:52.263 --> 00:26:55.567
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel
