| Mike Signorelli - Go V1 (Part 1) | February 10, 2026
  • How many people claim
  • 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:02.589
  • To get saved, but their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:02.589 --> 00:00:06.426
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:07.027 --> 00:00:08.661
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.661 --> 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, so let me destroy.
  • 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:20.807
  • Oh, come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:21.307 --> 00:00:28.248
  • Oh, oh.
  • 00:00:28.481 --> 00:00:32.752
  • Take out your bibles.
  • 00:00:33.253 --> 00:00:34.954
  • Get your notebooks ready for everybody watching live right now
  • 00:00:34.954 --> 00:00:38.058
  • And watching online.
  • 00:00:38.058 --> 00:00:39.359
  • Let's get ready to lock in.
  • 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.094
  • So your brain is wired
  • 00:00:41.094 --> 00:00:44.097
  • To stop you before god sends you.
  • 00:00:44.097 --> 00:00:47.534
  • Your brain can be your greatest asset, or it could be your greatest liability.
  • 00:00:49.069 --> 00:00:51.538
  • Can i get an amen?
  • 00:00:51.538 --> 00:00:53.506
  • I mean, god has given you an intellect, but how many of you feel like it's
  • 00:00:53.506 --> 00:00:57.377
  • A sword?
  • 00:00:57.377 --> 00:00:59.379
  • That instead of using against your enemy, you end up turning it on yourself?
  • 00:00:59.379 --> 00:01:02.749
  • Come on.
  • 00:01:03.016 --> 00:01:04.417
  • You're like, is my mind why i have so much anxiety?
  • 00:01:04.417 --> 00:01:07.687
  • But my mind's also why i have the potential to do so well in school.
  • 00:01:07.687 --> 00:01:11.891
  • Is my mind why i made the best choices but also the worst choices.
  • 00:01:13.226 --> 00:01:16.396
  • So we're going to talk about this battle field that happens in the mind.
  • 00:01:17.797 --> 00:01:21.167
  • But i want to take you back to this illustration of an airplane,
  • 00:01:22.435 --> 00:01:24.704
  • Because in aviation there's a term called v1.
  • 00:01:25.672 --> 00:01:28.741
  • And it's this critical moment of takeoff where the pilot is fully committed.
  • 00:01:30.243 --> 00:01:33.613
  • So there's only so much distance of runway.
  • 00:01:34.514 --> 00:01:36.282
  • There's a calculation that's made of how fast do i have to go
  • 00:01:36.282 --> 00:01:39.886
  • Down this runway before there is no more runway?
  • 00:01:39.886 --> 00:01:42.889
  • And because of thrust and lift, the airplane goes down the runway
  • 00:01:42.889 --> 00:01:47.827
  • And a greater force of nature takes over, and then the plane begins to fly.
  • 00:01:49.295 --> 00:01:52.499
  • Somebody say, go v1.
  • 00:01:52.499 --> 00:01:54.767
  • If there's an engine failure, go v1.
  • 00:01:55.568 --> 00:01:58.605
  • Come on.
  • 00:01:58.605 --> 00:01:59.572
  • If there's turbulence, go v1.
  • 00:01:59.572 --> 00:02:02.809
  • If there's a warning light that flashes go v1.
  • 00:02:03.776 --> 00:02:06.513
  • You cannot abort that flight because you're fully committed.
  • 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.117
  • Somebody say it again. go v1.
  • 00:02:11.751 --> 00:02:13.653
  • Okay, but here's the problem.
  • 00:02:13.653 --> 00:02:15.588
  • We need to understand this spiritually, because every move of god in your life
  • 00:02:15.588 --> 00:02:20.160
  • Will demand a v1 decision.
  • 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:23.496
  • When you get married, go v1 right.
  • 00:02:24.264 --> 00:02:26.699
  • Don't be committed, be covenanted.
  • 00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:28.635
  • You can get out of a commitment, but covenant is a lifelong decision.
  • 00:02:28.635 --> 00:02:33.072
  • Y'all, when you're shopping churches, stop being a consumer and start to covenant.
  • 00:02:34.641 --> 00:02:38.244
  • It's time to go v1 come on.
  • 00:02:38.845 --> 00:02:40.446
  • Oh, i like to worship.
  • 00:02:40.446 --> 00:02:41.915
  • What does god like your worship?
  • 00:02:41.915 --> 00:02:43.917
  • Come on. oh, i like the preaching. come on.
  • 00:02:43.917 --> 00:02:46.619
  • Are you preaching on the streets like i'm preaching on the stage?
  • 00:02:46.619 --> 00:02:49.722
  • Like i'm evaluating the church and i know god is evaluating you.
  • 00:02:49.722 --> 00:02:54.394
  • Stop being a consumer and go v1.
  • 00:02:55.028 --> 00:02:58.298
  • Come on.
  • 00:02:58.565 --> 00:03:00.433
  • There's this tension though, because your brain is wired to avoid v1.
  • 00:03:00.433 --> 00:03:04.304
  • Modern psychology shows that your mind will actually generate hesitation
  • 00:03:05.772 --> 00:03:09.842
  • Within five seconds of a decision that feels risky or uncertain.
  • 00:03:11.177 --> 00:03:15.048
  • So not because you're weak, but because your brain
  • 00:03:16.049 --> 00:03:18.451
  • Is designed for survival, not revival.
  • 00:03:18.451 --> 00:03:21.921
  • Come on somebody.
  • 00:03:22.355 --> 00:03:23.923
  • Your brain is actually wired for comfort, not for your calling.
  • 00:03:23.923 --> 00:03:27.794
  • But how many of you are actually going to choose revival over survival?
  • 00:03:29.195 --> 00:03:32.198
  • Come on. it's when you lose your life.
  • 00:03:33.032 --> 00:03:34.100
  • That's when you find it.
  • 00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:35.635
  • How many of you are going to choose calling over comfort?
  • 00:03:35.635 --> 00:03:38.238
  • Come on.
  • 00:03:38.238 --> 00:03:39.639
  • So the very nature of what you've inherited
  • 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.509
  • Was actually the foundation was built and laid upon the blood of the martyrs.
  • 00:03:45.044 --> 00:03:48.214
  • Come on.
  • 00:03:48.481 --> 00:03:50.216
  • The bible says, when you lose your life, that's when you find it.
  • 00:03:50.216 --> 00:03:51.951
  • But there's something about your brain
  • 00:03:52.785 --> 00:03:54.520
  • That will produce a hesitancy before you step into your destiny.
  • 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.891
  • And so it's your own mind.
  • 00:03:59.459 --> 00:04:01.327
  • And you can't blame a demon because the devil has already been defeated.
  • 00:04:01.327 --> 00:04:05.031
  • You've got to look at your own mind
  • 00:04:05.765 --> 00:04:07.267
  • And see that it's blocking you from stepping fully in.
  • 00:04:07.267 --> 00:04:10.370
  • I don't know, i just i'm coming under the engine of the holy spirit right now.
  • 00:04:11.871 --> 00:04:14.140
  • I want you to understand.
  • 00:04:14.707 --> 00:04:15.975
  • You got to be all the way in.
  • 00:04:15.975 --> 00:04:17.877
  • Because if you're not all the way in, you are already, already out.
  • 00:04:17.877 --> 00:04:22.849
  • This is what i'm trying to explain to you.
  • 00:04:23.716 --> 00:04:25.551
  • Like you are you.
  • 00:04:25.551 --> 00:04:26.786
  • You have to decide. i'm going all in.
  • 00:04:26.786 --> 00:04:29.088
  • Because anything less than that is all out.
  • 00:04:29.088 --> 00:04:32.458
  • So this is why the holy spirit calls you higher than your biology.
  • 00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:37.463
  • It's time to go v1.
  • 00:04:37.930 --> 00:04:39.832
  • So i'm going to show you in the scriptures basically how to overcome this,
  • 00:04:39.832 --> 00:04:43.569
  • This internal resistance that has kept you
  • 00:04:44.404 --> 00:04:46.706
  • From taxiing instead of taking off.
  • 00:04:46.706 --> 00:04:50.043
  • And this is the first major moment i'm going to take you to genesis chapter 12.
  • 00:04:51.611 --> 00:04:54.514
  • So in genesis chapter 12, verses one through four,
  • 00:04:55.481 --> 00:04:58.618
  • You have the story of abraham.
  • 00:04:59.252 --> 00:05:01.287
  • And the lord said to abraham, well, look at the the specificity of the verses.
  • 00:05:01.287 --> 00:05:06.292
  • Go from your country and your kindred
  • 00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:10.563
  • And your father's house, to the land that i will show you.
  • 00:05:11.731 --> 00:05:14.934
  • So in order for abraham to step into fullness,
  • 00:05:15.835 --> 00:05:19.072
  • In order for abraham to step into his purpose,
  • 00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:22.241
  • He had to leave his country, his kindred, and his father's house.
  • 00:05:23.443 --> 00:05:26.679
  • So you cannot have both.
  • 00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:28.648
  • You always have to leave something to cleave to god.
  • 00:05:28.648 --> 00:05:32.752
  • You always have to step away from something
  • 00:05:33.653 --> 00:05:35.421
  • To step into the presence of god.
  • 00:05:35.421 --> 00:05:37.724
  • You cannot have mixture.
  • 00:05:37.724 --> 00:05:39.726
  • You cannot have both.
  • 00:05:39.726 --> 00:05:41.394
  • It's god is a jealous god.
  • 00:05:41.394 --> 00:05:43.930
  • And when you try to make god come on, god is not polyamorous.
  • 00:05:43.930 --> 00:05:48.568
  • God does not date multiple people.
  • 00:05:49.335 --> 00:05:51.270
  • God is not in an open relationship.
  • 00:05:51.270 --> 00:05:54.507
  • God is in a closed relationship.
  • 00:05:55.141 --> 00:05:56.709
  • You can't date god.
  • 00:05:56.709 --> 00:05:58.077
  • You got to marry god.
  • 00:05:58.077 --> 00:05:59.445
  • Don't be playing god. he's not a side chick.
  • 00:05:59.445 --> 00:06:02.348
  • You can. come on somebody.
  • 00:06:02.348 --> 00:06:03.716
  • You're the bride of christ if you marry him.
  • 00:06:03.716 --> 00:06:06.486
  • But he is the groom and demands fidelity.
  • 00:06:06.486 --> 00:06:09.155
  • Come on.
  • 00:06:09.155 --> 00:06:11.491
  • And he said to
  • 00:06:11.858 --> 00:06:13.159
  • Abraham, go from your country and your kindred
  • 00:06:13.159 --> 00:06:16.729
  • And your father's house, to the land that i will show you.
  • 00:06:17.897 --> 00:06:19.932
  • Let me just tell you straight up.
  • 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.802
  • I'm going to tell you the end from the beginning.
  • 00:06:22.802 --> 00:06:25.138
  • We get the better deal.
  • 00:06:25.138 --> 00:06:27.540
  • I'm going to tell you the secret.
  • 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:28.775
  • We get the better deal.
  • 00:06:28.775 --> 00:06:30.209
  • But, god, you want me to leave my family?
  • 00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:32.478
  • Oh, yeah. yeah.
  • 00:06:32.478 --> 00:06:33.846
  • But when you see what's waiting on the other side.
  • 00:06:33.846 --> 00:06:35.548
  • It's so much better than what you're afraid to lose right now.
  • 00:06:35.548 --> 00:06:39.452
  • God is not in the business of taking anything from you.
  • 00:06:40.553 --> 00:06:43.189
  • He wants to exchange it for something better.
  • 00:06:44.123 --> 00:06:45.858
  • Oh, i don't know if i can be a christian.
  • 00:06:45.858 --> 00:06:47.560
  • I like to drink.
  • 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:48.594
  • Oh. come on.
  • 00:06:48.594 --> 00:06:49.796
  • He's not trying to take your alcohol.
  • 00:06:49.796 --> 00:06:51.531
  • He's trying to exchange it for the new wine of the holy spirit.
  • 00:06:51.531 --> 00:06:55.501
  • Oh, come on, you can get drunk with me tonight on something
  • 00:06:56.669 --> 00:06:58.704
  • That'll cause you to never wake up the next day with regrets.
  • 00:06:58.704 --> 00:07:02.642
  • God ain't trying to take nothing.
  • 00:07:03.309 --> 00:07:04.243
  • He's trying to exchange it.
  • 00:07:04.243 --> 00:07:05.545
  • But your obedience is always required.
  • 00:07:05.545 --> 00:07:07.947
  • First before the exchange.
  • 00:07:07.947 --> 00:07:10.116
  • Come on. verse two.
  • 00:07:10.116 --> 00:07:12.952
  • And i will make you a great nation.
  • 00:07:12.952 --> 00:07:15.054
  • I will bless you and make your name great so that you will be a blessing.
  • 00:07:15.054 --> 00:07:19.559
  • I will bless those who bless you and him who dishonors you i will curse,
  • 00:07:20.993 --> 00:07:24.564
  • And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
  • 00:07:25.731 --> 00:07:28.100
  • This is my favorite part.
  • 00:07:28.668 --> 00:07:29.669
  • Verse four.
  • 00:07:29.669 --> 00:07:30.970
  • So abraham went, as the lord had told him.
  • 00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:35.007
  • We don't have any
  • 00:07:35.441 --> 00:07:36.409
  • Account of sermons by abraham.
  • 00:07:36.409 --> 00:07:39.879
  • Post by abraham, blogs by abraham
  • 00:07:40.546 --> 00:07:43.649
  • With the greatest sermon of his life
  • 00:07:44.417 --> 00:07:47.386
  • Is where he walked, where he went.
  • 00:07:48.154 --> 00:07:50.456
  • It's his obedience.
  • 00:07:50.923 --> 00:07:52.358
  • There's people who are eloquent on the microphone,
  • 00:07:52.358 --> 00:07:54.393
  • But they don't carry authority in their walk.
  • 00:07:54.393 --> 00:07:57.330
  • God is not asking how good you preach.
  • 00:07:57.330 --> 00:07:59.932
  • Your sermon is your obedience.
  • 00:07:59.932 --> 00:08:02.101
  • And the bible says obedience is greater than sacrifice.
  • 00:08:02.101 --> 00:08:06.005
  • And so abraham may not have had the right words,
  • 00:08:06.973 --> 00:08:08.774
  • But he had a walk that was in alignment with god's will.
  • 00:08:08.774 --> 00:08:12.278
  • And he was made a great nation, and god fulfilled the promise.
  • 00:08:12.278 --> 00:08:16.215
  • Let me just ask you.
  • 00:08:16.682 --> 00:08:17.817
  • It's not about how well you post.
  • 00:08:17.817 --> 00:08:19.585
  • Come on.
  • 00:08:19.585 --> 00:08:20.853
  • It's about how will you walk this thing out?
  • 00:08:20.853 --> 00:08:22.455
  • And there's a lot of people talk, talk, talking.
  • 00:08:22.455 --> 00:08:24.957
  • But come on. come on.
  • 00:08:24.957 --> 00:08:26.392
  • Put up or shut up, homie.
  • 00:08:26.392 --> 00:08:28.294
  • Hey! come on, come on, boy, boy, step up to the line.
  • 00:08:28.294 --> 00:08:30.863
  • Let me see what you're made of.
  • 00:08:30.863 --> 00:08:32.331
  • Come on, stop talking and let's start fight.
  • 00:08:32.331 --> 00:08:34.800
  • Let's see what you're made of.
  • 00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:36.235
  • Come on. the devil doesn't respond to words.
  • 00:08:36.235 --> 00:08:38.604
  • He responds to relationship through influence and authority
  • 00:08:38.604 --> 00:08:42.141
  • In the kingdom by those who walk in holiness.
  • 00:08:42.141 --> 00:08:45.478
  • Walk in righteousness. walk in submission.
  • 00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:48.581
  • Walk in surrender.
  • 00:08:49.015 --> 00:08:49.949
  • Somebody shout. walk it out.
  • 00:08:49.949 --> 00:08:52.685
  • Come on. no more talking.
  • 00:08:52.685 --> 00:08:54.253
  • Let's walk it out.
  • 00:08:54.253 --> 00:08:57.089
  • Too many christians.
  • 00:08:57.557 --> 00:08:59.325
  • They sound real good on instagram, but hell doesn't know their name.
  • 00:08:59.325 --> 00:09:04.063
  • Come on.
  • 00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:05.565
  • God tells abraham.
  • 00:09:05.565 --> 00:09:06.966
  • Go to the land that i'll show you.
  • 00:09:06.966 --> 00:09:09.068
  • Don't go to the land that the movie showed you.
  • 00:09:09.068 --> 00:09:11.637
  • That culture showed you that instagram showed you.
  • 00:09:11.637 --> 00:09:15.207
  • Here's this thing i want to ask all of you.
  • 00:09:16.108 --> 00:09:17.410
  • Where did you get the dream for your life?
  • 00:09:17.410 --> 00:09:19.045
  • Who showed you that dream?
  • 00:09:19.045 --> 00:09:20.446
  • What song told you that dream?
  • 00:09:20.446 --> 00:09:22.515
  • Come on. what movie show? see, i love this.
  • 00:09:22.515 --> 00:09:25.017
  • It says go to the land that i will show you.
  • 00:09:25.017 --> 00:09:27.553
  • Sometimes you gotta die to the american dream.
  • 00:09:27.553 --> 00:09:30.389
  • So he can show you his dream.
  • 00:09:30.389 --> 00:09:32.425
  • Sometimes you gotta die to the illusion online.
  • 00:09:32.425 --> 00:09:35.795
  • Sometimes the thing that god wants for you looks the least like the thing
  • 00:09:37.196 --> 00:09:39.565
  • That you want for yourself. come on.
  • 00:09:39.565 --> 00:09:42.468
  • Not the land that i explained.
  • 00:09:43.102 --> 00:09:45.705
  • Not the land that i mapped out.
  • 00:09:45.705 --> 00:09:47.773
  • Not the land that i guaranteed would feel safe.
  • 00:09:47.773 --> 00:09:51.043
  • The land that i showed you says god.
  • 00:09:51.844 --> 00:09:54.080
  • My god showed you julie.
  • 00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:56.482
  • Come on, girl.
  • 00:09:56.482 --> 00:10:00.519
  • My god showed you manhattan.
  • 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.789
  • Come on. that's right.
  • 00:10:03.789 --> 00:10:05.524
  • But you know what?
  • 00:10:05.524 --> 00:10:07.059
  • It's not always easy when you get what god showed you.
  • 00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:10.696
  • Mayor, people say, i wish i had your marriage.
  • 00:10:11.664 --> 00:10:13.232
  • You could work harder.
  • 00:10:13.232 --> 00:10:16.002
  • Oh, it must be nice.
  • 00:10:16.002 --> 00:10:17.436
  • It is. work harder. i wish i had your marriage.
  • 00:10:17.436 --> 00:10:20.106
  • Do you want our counseling bill?
  • 00:10:20.106 --> 00:10:21.874
  • You know, julie's messed up.
  • 00:10:21.874 --> 00:10:24.677
  • You know, they all laughed here and there because they know it's all my fault.
  • 00:10:24.677 --> 00:10:27.313
  • They're like, no, no, no, no, no.
  • 00:10:27.313 --> 00:10:28.481
  • We know it's your fault.
  • 00:10:28.481 --> 00:10:30.683
  • People say, oh, i wish i just had a relationship like mike and julie young.
  • 00:10:30.683 --> 00:10:34.520
  • Mike and julie wish they had a relationship like this.
  • 00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:37.023
  • Mike and julie. right?
  • 00:10:37.023 --> 00:10:39.592
  • Because you have to commit fully to go v1.
  • 00:10:39.592 --> 00:10:44.296
  • That plane ain't going to leave the atmosphere until you commit fully.
  • 00:10:45.631 --> 00:10:48.567
  • And some of us want a 40,000ft relationship without a commitment
  • 00:10:49.902 --> 00:10:53.005
  • On the ground at home.
  • 00:10:53.005 --> 00:10:55.841
  • If you're near one of our campuses,
  • 00:10:56.575 --> 00:10:58.711
  • I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:10:58.711 --> 00:11:03.649
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:11:05.117 --> 00:11:08.220
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:11:09.221 --> 00:11:11.857
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:11:12.825 --> 00:11:14.694
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:11:14.694 --> 00:11:18.931
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1
  • 00:11:20.066 --> 00:11:21.701
  • Church.
  • 00:11:21.701 --> 00:11:25.705
  • Abraham had no logistics, no blueprint, no gps.
  • 00:11:26.706 --> 00:11:29.942
  • It's time to learn that surrender is greater than strategy.
  • 00:11:29.942 --> 00:11:34.680
  • And see, when i surrender to my relationship with julie,
  • 00:11:35.781 --> 00:11:38.184
  • When i surrender to this vision for manhattan.
  • 00:11:39.085 --> 00:11:41.587
  • Surrender is the strategy.
  • 00:11:42.154 --> 00:11:44.090
  • So in the body of christ, in this thing we called the kingdom of heaven here
  • 00:11:44.090 --> 00:11:48.060
  • On earth, is surrender is the only strategy that works.
  • 00:11:48.060 --> 00:11:52.031
  • Hesitation is the death of calling.
  • 00:11:52.832 --> 00:11:55.901
  • Your brain's first instinct when faced with uncertainty,
  • 00:11:57.036 --> 00:11:59.739
  • Is to pull the brake to protect you from the unknown.
  • 00:11:59.739 --> 00:12:04.176
  • Oh, let me pull the brake and cheat on julie before she hurts me.
  • 00:12:05.478 --> 00:12:08.581
  • Let me pull the brake
  • 00:12:09.081 --> 00:12:10.850
  • And go to four more churches before they hurt me at v1 church.
  • 00:12:10.850 --> 00:12:14.186
  • Let me pull the brake.
  • 00:12:14.687 --> 00:12:15.988
  • Some of you aren't afraid of failure.
  • 00:12:15.988 --> 00:12:18.491
  • You're afraid of success because success would take away your excuses.
  • 00:12:18.491 --> 00:12:23.829
  • And you want to get back in the bed.
  • 00:12:24.597 --> 00:12:25.931
  • And you want to sleep, and you long,
  • 00:12:25.931 --> 00:12:27.733
  • And you want to be depressed because familiarity is depression.
  • 00:12:27.733 --> 00:12:31.871
  • But hesitation is blocking your destiny.
  • 00:12:32.705 --> 00:12:34.607
  • It's time to stop pulling the brake and it's time to push the gas.
  • 00:12:34.607 --> 00:12:39.044
  • We're going v1, baby.
  • 00:12:39.545 --> 00:12:42.114
  • Come on.
  • 00:12:42.381 --> 00:12:43.783
  • Do i got some abraham's under this sermon right now.
  • 00:12:43.783 --> 00:12:46.485
  • And see, this is the thing.
  • 00:12:47.086 --> 00:12:48.320
  • God is speaking to somebody right now.
  • 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.222
  • If you're more afraid of the consequences than you are afraid
  • 00:12:50.222 --> 00:12:53.926
  • Not to obey the one calling you, then you fear the wrong thing.
  • 00:12:53.926 --> 00:12:58.230
  • See, what happens is the fear of god is the beginning of wisdom.
  • 00:12:59.465 --> 00:13:02.368
  • And when you fear god, eventually you fear nothing else
  • 00:13:03.435 --> 00:13:06.071
  • Because perfect love casts out all fear.
  • 00:13:06.939 --> 00:13:08.274
  • I'd rather die serving him than live a lie.
  • 00:13:08.274 --> 00:13:11.610
  • Come on.
  • 00:13:11.877 --> 00:13:13.646
  • It's something about going v1 and terah, the father of abraham.
  • 00:13:13.646 --> 00:13:16.315
  • He never got to this point.
  • 00:13:16.916 --> 00:13:18.717
  • But abraham said, i'm going, going to go in a land that i know not.
  • 00:13:18.717 --> 00:13:21.787
  • I'm going to go in a direction i've never gone before,
  • 00:13:22.888 --> 00:13:25.124
  • Because i would rather take a risk being obedient
  • 00:13:26.125 --> 00:13:28.594
  • Than play it safe, being disobedient.
  • 00:13:29.395 --> 00:13:31.597
  • Somebody say, i'm going be one.
  • 00:13:32.231 --> 00:13:34.033
  • Abraham didn't wait for certainty.
  • 00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:37.002
  • He moved because he heard god.
  • 00:13:37.002 --> 00:13:39.104
  • V1 faith means that you decide faster than you fear
  • 00:13:39.104 --> 00:13:43.342
  • And faster than your fear can talk you out of it.
  • 00:13:44.343 --> 00:13:46.645
  • Faith requires motion before information
  • 00:13:46.645 --> 00:13:50.850
  • Move.
  • 00:13:51.083 --> 00:13:54.687
  • Some of y'all are going to chatgpt faster
  • 00:13:55.554 --> 00:13:58.390
  • Than you're going to the holy spirit, and that's why you're stuck.
  • 00:13:58.390 --> 00:14:01.861
  • I told them i would teach them all things, but they don't believe it.
  • 00:14:03.229 --> 00:14:05.264
  • I told them that i had a plan for their life, but they don't believe it.
  • 00:14:06.632 --> 00:14:09.235
  • Faith requires motion before information,
  • 00:14:10.135 --> 00:14:13.072
  • And we have a generation that gets information before motion.
  • 00:14:14.273 --> 00:14:18.477
  • See this?
  • 00:14:18.777 --> 00:14:19.712
  • Maybe it takes an old head.
  • 00:14:19.712 --> 00:14:21.380
  • Maybe it takes a big g to teach y'all how to live this life.
  • 00:14:21.380 --> 00:14:25.150
  • It's. i'm trying to help you.
  • 00:14:25.784 --> 00:14:26.819
  • It's faith.
  • 00:14:26.819 --> 00:14:28.220
  • For without faith, it's impossible to please god.
  • 00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:31.023
  • So if you know how it's all going to work out, it doesn't require faith.
  • 00:14:32.424 --> 00:14:33.826
  • And then you can't please god.
  • 00:14:33.826 --> 00:14:35.561
  • But god is pleased when you say, lord, i'm going to.
  • 00:14:35.561 --> 00:14:38.898
  • I'm going to apply motion before i get the information.
  • 00:14:40.032 --> 00:14:42.101
  • Obedience precedes understanding.
  • 00:14:42.835 --> 00:14:45.571
  • Some of y'all only obey when you understand.
  • 00:14:46.472 --> 00:14:50.042
  • That's still rebellion.
  • 00:14:50.542 --> 00:14:53.479
  • If you only obey
  • 00:14:53.846 --> 00:14:55.314
  • After you understand, you're still rebellious.
  • 00:14:55.314 --> 00:14:59.551
  • You just are compliant with the things you understand.
  • 00:15:00.586 --> 00:15:03.155
  • See, true obedience is when you don't understand.
  • 00:15:04.156 --> 00:15:08.260
  • True obedience is like, hey god, if i were you, i would do it differently.
  • 00:15:09.728 --> 00:15:12.298
  • But i'm not you.
  • 00:15:12.298 --> 00:15:13.599
  • So i'm going to submit when i don't understand.
  • 00:15:13.599 --> 00:15:15.868
  • Because your ways are higher than my ways and your thoughts are higher
  • 00:15:15.868 --> 00:15:19.471
  • Than my thoughts.
  • 00:15:19.471 --> 00:15:20.706
  • So understanding is not even a factor.
  • 00:15:20.706 --> 00:15:23.075
  • I'm just simply going to obey because revelation
  • 00:15:23.075 --> 00:15:26.412
  • Follows movement.
  • 00:15:26.412 --> 00:15:29.715
  • Movement doesn't always follow revelation.
  • 00:15:30.582 --> 00:15:33.052
  • There's people who get a revelation but never obey.
  • 00:15:34.053 --> 00:15:35.487
  • So there's no movement.
  • 00:15:35.487 --> 00:15:36.922
  • But when you move, you will receive revelation.
  • 00:15:36.922 --> 00:15:41.026
  • You know, a bible study without obeying
  • 00:15:41.894 --> 00:15:44.930
  • The bible is actually not a bible study
  • 00:15:44.930 --> 00:15:48.734
  • Because you didn't study it to obey and you didn't study it to understand.
  • 00:15:50.202 --> 00:15:54.373
  • You studied it to increase in knowledge, which will lead to an increase of pride.
  • 00:15:55.975 --> 00:15:58.844
  • See, the discipleship in the scripture was always apprenticeship.
  • 00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:03.048
  • And y'all spent so much time in classrooms sitting down that you don't know
  • 00:16:04.516 --> 00:16:06.752
  • The difference
  • 00:16:06.752 --> 00:16:08.587
  • When you get apprenticed into something you will do as your apprentice does.
  • 00:16:08.587 --> 00:16:12.024
  • Apprenticeship is if they make gucci wallets.
  • 00:16:12.958 --> 00:16:14.860
  • Homie, you sit down and we're about to make some gucci wallets.
  • 00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:18.197
  • I'm italian, okay, don't hate on that.
  • 00:16:19.031 --> 00:16:20.265
  • If you're like, man, what a weird i'm.
  • 00:16:20.265 --> 00:16:22.067
  • This is what we do in italy.
  • 00:16:22.067 --> 00:16:23.335
  • We make we make luxury items.
  • 00:16:23.335 --> 00:16:26.038
  • So when you go, louis vuitton, right,
  • 00:16:26.038 --> 00:16:29.108
  • When you get
  • 00:16:29.441 --> 00:16:30.843
  • Apprenticed, you're going to learn how to do it.
  • 00:16:30.843 --> 00:16:33.312
  • So it is not we're going to sit down and do a mathematical equation on the leather.
  • 00:16:34.913 --> 00:16:38.417
  • It's grab the leather, cut the piece, trace it and do it.
  • 00:16:39.551 --> 00:16:41.620
  • And i think what happens in the body of christ,
  • 00:16:42.554 --> 00:16:44.023
  • And we have to go back to the story of abraham.
  • 00:16:44.023 --> 00:16:46.625
  • We have to go back to these things.
  • 00:16:46.625 --> 00:16:48.093
  • I'm going to show you in, in the scriptures today is
  • 00:16:48.093 --> 00:16:50.996
  • We become students instead of apprentices
  • 00:16:50.996 --> 00:16:55.000
  • And see students just absorb
  • 00:16:55.601 --> 00:16:57.569
  • So much information and they do very little of it.
  • 00:16:57.569 --> 00:17:00.839
  • Some of us, i mean, think about it.
  • 00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:02.908
  • What have you ever done with social studies?
  • 00:17:02.908 --> 00:17:05.377
  • What do you what have you done?
  • 00:17:05.377 --> 00:17:06.478
  • Some of you what have you?
  • 00:17:06.478 --> 00:17:08.347
  • When's the last time you did algebra while you were in the grocery store?
  • 00:17:08.347 --> 00:17:12.151
  • Right.
  • 00:17:12.384 --> 00:17:12.985
  • So what?
  • 00:17:12.985 --> 00:17:13.819
  • When you're a student,
  • 00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:15.487
  • Very little of the information that you receive becomes used.
  • 00:17:15.487 --> 00:17:19.058
  • But when you're an apprentice, all of it gets used.
  • 00:17:19.058 --> 00:17:22.828
  • So when jesus cast out demons and you're in
  • 00:17:23.762 --> 00:17:26.832
  • Under his lineage as an apprentice, you're going to cast out demons.
  • 00:17:26.832 --> 00:17:31.136
  • When jesus prays for sick people, you're going to pray for sick people.
  • 00:17:32.571 --> 00:17:35.007
  • And i think that
  • 00:17:35.374 --> 00:17:37.342
  • What i'm trying to preach to you today is the priesthood of all believers.
  • 00:17:37.342 --> 00:17:40.612
  • You come from the lineage of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
  • 00:17:41.713 --> 00:17:44.316
  • If jacob wrestled with the angel, you start wrestling with god.
  • 00:17:45.617 --> 00:17:48.153
  • If abraham went to a strange place on faith, you need to start moving on.
  • 00:17:49.621 --> 00:17:52.524
  • Faith.
  • 00:17:52.524 --> 00:17:53.459
  • Come on. and we have a heritage,
  • 00:17:53.459 --> 00:17:55.160
  • And we need to begin to be apprenticed in that inheritance.
  • 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.064
  • And i am so thankful that jesus christ said,
  • 00:17:59.965 --> 00:18:02.334
  • And greater works will they do in my name.
  • 00:18:03.235 --> 00:18:05.571
  • How many of you believe in that?
  • 00:18:06.205 --> 00:18:07.639
  • I'm going to do even greater works if i will obey.
  • 00:18:07.639 --> 00:18:11.910
  • Come on.
  • 00:18:12.177 --> 00:18:13.679
  • Hey, join me for the trip of a lifetime as we travel.
  • 00:18:13.679 --> 00:18:17.116
  • Retracing the apostle paul's steps.
  • 00:18:17.116 --> 00:18:19.585
  • Yes, right there, where scripture was first written.
  • 00:18:19.585 --> 00:18:23.288
  • Right there where the early church was born.
  • 00:18:24.189 --> 00:18:25.858
  • We're going to go from site to site. i'm going to be teaching.
  • 00:18:25.858 --> 00:18:28.694
  • We're going to get to meet.
  • 00:18:28.694 --> 00:18:30.162
  • We're going to share some incredible meals together.
  • 00:18:30.162 --> 00:18:32.498
  • You're going to get to meet other people from around the world.
  • 00:18:32.498 --> 00:18:35.234
  • And this is an exclusive trip, okay.
  • 00:18:35.234 --> 00:18:37.703
  • Which means you've got to act now while there are still seats available.
  • 00:18:37.703 --> 00:18:41.907
  • So scan the qr code, tap the link and get your seat.
  • 00:18:42.941 --> 00:18:46.245
  • Now, you are not going to regret it.
  • 00:18:47.012 --> 00:18:47.946
  • I can't wait to see you on this.
  • 00:18:47.946 --> 00:18:49.915
  • Retracing the apostle paul. greece tour.
  • 00:18:49.915 --> 00:18:52.784
  • Come on land and sea.
  • 00:18:52.784 --> 00:18:54.586
  • It doesn't get any better than that. i'll see you there.
  • 00:18:54.586 --> 00:18:57.322
  • When you choose, without hesitation, you enter into god's momentum.
  • 00:18:57.322 --> 00:19:02.127
  • There's a rich young ruler and he's seeing all these things jesus is doing.
  • 00:19:03.595 --> 00:19:07.132
  • He's hearing all the stories of renown, and he begins to interact with jesus.
  • 00:19:08.634 --> 00:19:11.904
  • Can you imagine being so close to jesus?
  • 00:19:12.771 --> 00:19:13.705
  • You smell his breath.
  • 00:19:13.705 --> 00:19:15.507
  • You know it smell good to.
  • 00:19:15.507 --> 00:19:18.343
  • And he was like, hey, i want to follow you.
  • 00:19:19.278 --> 00:19:21.880
  • I think this is going to be an amazing resume builder.
  • 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.150
  • I think this is going to be great for my linkedin.
  • 00:19:26.185 --> 00:19:27.753
  • I want to add this ministry to it.
  • 00:19:27.753 --> 00:19:30.055
  • I think this will be awesome.
  • 00:19:30.055 --> 00:19:31.557
  • Jesus, i'd love to follow you.
  • 00:19:31.557 --> 00:19:33.125
  • You can help me with my social status because you're famous
  • 00:19:33.125 --> 00:19:36.361
  • And i want to increase in my influence.
  • 00:19:37.162 --> 00:19:38.363
  • Jesus.
  • 00:19:38.363 --> 00:19:39.331
  • This is the rich young ruler.
  • 00:19:39.331 --> 00:19:40.699
  • He was transactional.
  • 00:19:40.699 --> 00:19:42.267
  • And when i'm preaching under the anointing,
  • 00:19:42.267 --> 00:19:44.102
  • Sometimes you start to go to church for what it does for you.
  • 00:19:44.102 --> 00:19:47.573
  • But this is not for what it does for us.
  • 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.708
  • There is a request.
  • 00:19:49.708 --> 00:19:51.243
  • Jesus said, i'm going to die on the cross, but then you're going
  • 00:19:51.243 --> 00:19:54.146
  • To take up your cross and see everything the leader does.
  • 00:19:54.146 --> 00:19:58.050
  • You're being apprenticed into doing it.
  • 00:19:58.050 --> 00:20:00.586
  • When he says forgive them, for they know not what they do,
  • 00:20:00.586 --> 00:20:03.822
  • How many you're going to end up
  • 00:20:04.456 --> 00:20:06.291
  • Having to forgive some people that never ask for forgiveness, because
  • 00:20:06.291 --> 00:20:08.727
  • You're being a.
  • 00:20:08.727 --> 00:20:10.529
  • You're being apprenticed into this faith.
  • 00:20:11.330 --> 00:20:14.099
  • Are y'all with me?
  • 00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:15.767
  • So this is what he tells the rich young ruler?
  • 00:20:15.767 --> 00:20:18.904
  • Yes, you can follow me, but just go sell all of your properties.
  • 00:20:18.904 --> 00:20:23.475
  • What?
  • 00:20:23.709 --> 00:20:25.344
  • All of it.
  • 00:20:25.344 --> 00:20:27.279
  • I mean, you see, what happens
  • 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.047
  • Is, in that moment, on a quantum level,
  • 00:20:29.047 --> 00:20:32.184
  • The brain produced hesitation and aborted that flight.
  • 00:20:33.285 --> 00:20:36.421
  • And the rich young ruler never went v1.
  • 00:20:37.256 --> 00:20:38.824
  • You talk about an eternal mistake.
  • 00:20:38.824 --> 00:20:41.827
  • Think about right now the things in your life
  • 00:20:41.827 --> 00:20:44.029
  • That if jesus christ in the flesh,
  • 00:20:44.029 --> 00:20:45.897
  • Walked up to you in this church service and said, will you give it all to me?
  • 00:20:45.897 --> 00:20:49.601
  • Would you do it?
  • 00:20:49.601 --> 00:20:51.737
  • Because offering time comes and we get nervous.
  • 00:20:51.737 --> 00:20:55.040
  • Holy spirit, i'm trippin out about 10%.
  • 00:20:55.841 --> 00:20:57.576
  • You're asking for the rest of the 90% to
  • 00:20:57.576 --> 00:21:01.146
  • Come on.
  • 00:21:01.413 --> 00:21:02.648
  • Your pastor's real nice compared to jesus.
  • 00:21:02.648 --> 00:21:05.117
  • Why am i saying this?
  • 00:21:05.617 --> 00:21:07.586
  • Because to go v1, you have to learn how to choose without hesitation.
  • 00:21:07.586 --> 00:21:12.958
  • Even if you feel the hesitation.
  • 00:21:13.592 --> 00:21:17.129
  • That's the whole point.
  • 00:21:17.629 --> 00:21:19.164
  • You push past your feelings.
  • 00:21:19.164 --> 00:21:21.867
  • Now this is a crazy story.
  • 00:21:21.867 --> 00:21:25.203
  • I think it's going to help many of you.
  • 00:21:26.038 --> 00:21:27.406
  • And this is a really, really powerful story.
  • 00:21:27.406 --> 00:21:29.641
  • And i've been this has been burning in my chest
  • 00:21:29.641 --> 00:21:31.843
  • Through this entire series that i've been teaching through.
  • 00:21:31.843 --> 00:21:35.180
  • But when you look at this, when you look at this verse
  • 00:21:36.281 --> 00:21:39.117
  • And i'm going to show you this because, you know, we're going to go deeper, but
  • 00:21:39.117 --> 00:21:42.721
  • I'm not talking about david and goliath deep, because y'all know that story.
  • 00:21:42.721 --> 00:21:46.491
  • I'm talking about benaiah deep. come on.
  • 00:21:47.326 --> 00:21:49.394
  • And this is a man that most believers don't even know exists.
  • 00:21:49.394 --> 00:21:53.198
  • Take a look with me to second samuel, chapter 23, verse 20.
  • 00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:57.703
  • And it says, and benaiah the son of joe had,
  • 00:21:58.603 --> 00:22:01.440
  • Was a valiant man of kept zeal, a doer.
  • 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.944
  • Come on, somebody say a doer of great deeds.
  • 00:22:06.878 --> 00:22:09.448
  • Come on, say with me a doer of great deeds.
  • 00:22:10.349 --> 00:22:12.918
  • This is the heart of the kingdom.
  • 00:22:13.652 --> 00:22:15.721
  • This guy was about it.
  • 00:22:15.721 --> 00:22:17.356
  • This guy was doing the work.
  • 00:22:17.356 --> 00:22:19.691
  • And it says he struck down two aerials of moab.
  • 00:22:19.691 --> 00:22:22.928
  • And let me translate that for you biblically.
  • 00:22:22.928 --> 00:22:25.530
  • That phrase that you see in second
  • 00:22:25.530 --> 00:22:28.533
  • Samuel chapter 23, verse 20, it says he struck down.
  • 00:22:28.533 --> 00:22:32.504
  • So he literally murdered two aerials of moab.
  • 00:22:32.504 --> 00:22:36.208
  • Moab was a vicious enemy to israel.
  • 00:22:36.942 --> 00:22:39.411
  • Moab was, an enemy that they were fighting against.
  • 00:22:40.412 --> 00:22:42.881
  • And they really it was something that they were begging for relief
  • 00:22:42.881 --> 00:22:47.185
  • From this enemy that they could not defeat.
  • 00:22:48.086 --> 00:22:49.855
  • And it says that he struck down two men like lions.
  • 00:22:49.855 --> 00:22:54.960
  • That's basically what aerials of moab means.
  • 00:22:55.894 --> 00:22:57.629
  • These men were so fierce.
  • 00:22:57.629 --> 00:22:59.431
  • The only way you could describe them as as if they were lions.
  • 00:22:59.431 --> 00:23:02.868
  • And he struck down two of them. that's a bad dude.
  • 00:23:03.869 --> 00:23:05.804
  • He also know this is very important.
  • 00:23:06.571 --> 00:23:09.040
  • He also went down and struck a lion
  • 00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:11.710
  • In a pit on a day when snow had fallen.
  • 00:23:11.710 --> 00:23:15.647
  • Okay, where's the reaction to that?
  • 00:23:16.448 --> 00:23:19.251
  • Now, the reason why you didn't react like that
  • 00:23:19.251 --> 00:23:21.086
  • Is because we don't have snowy pits with lions in them.
  • 00:23:21.086 --> 00:23:23.789
  • Here in new york city.
  • 00:23:23.789 --> 00:23:25.490
  • But i want to show you, this is one of the most
  • 00:23:25.490 --> 00:23:28.093
  • Seemingly benign parts of scripture that i think is one of the deepest.
  • 00:23:28.093 --> 00:23:33.098
  • Let me.
  • 00:23:33.331 --> 00:23:34.232
  • Can i unpack this for you,
  • 00:23:34.232 --> 00:23:36.168
  • Because you might be reading second samuel 2320 on your own and miss this.
  • 00:23:36.168 --> 00:23:39.704
  • Like, what's the big deal? okay.
  • 00:23:39.704 --> 00:23:41.440
  • But listen, he also went down and struck
  • 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.409
  • A lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.
  • 00:23:44.409 --> 00:23:48.313
  • Here's why this is so important.
  • 00:23:48.947 --> 00:23:51.483
  • Because this. this.
  • 00:23:51.483 --> 00:23:53.485
  • Oh. come on.
  • 00:23:53.485 --> 00:23:55.487
  • This snowy pit
  • 00:23:55.487 --> 00:23:57.355
  • Caused the lion to slip into it.
  • 00:23:57.355 --> 00:24:00.091
  • So here comes benaiah.
  • 00:24:00.091 --> 00:24:02.160
  • And he's walking past, and he looks and he's like, wow, there's a lion in there.
  • 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.131
  • Now here's the deal.
  • 00:24:06.598 --> 00:24:07.766
  • He looks around. there's nobody around.
  • 00:24:07.766 --> 00:24:10.469
  • The dude could have literally just went home and pretended
  • 00:24:10.469 --> 00:24:13.872
  • To forget all about the lion, except
  • 00:24:13.872 --> 00:24:16.208
  • He understood that right now it's snowy and it's slippery.
  • 00:24:16.208 --> 00:24:20.879
  • But when things begin to defrost, that lion is going to get out.
  • 00:24:22.214 --> 00:24:26.251
  • And that lion that's in that pit right now.
  • 00:24:27.185 --> 00:24:29.120
  • When it gets out, it could very well kill my family or people in my community.
  • 00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:33.825
  • So here's the thing.
  • 00:24:34.292 --> 00:24:36.094
  • And it's just like new york city that you, you know, you all see, you
  • 00:24:36.094 --> 00:24:39.297
  • Could see things happening in the subway and you're like, it's not my problem.
  • 00:24:39.297 --> 00:24:43.068
  • Come on. i live here, too. y'all know what i mean?
  • 00:24:44.102 --> 00:24:45.337
  • You see something going down their street?
  • 00:24:45.337 --> 00:24:46.938
  • You're like, i'm just going to act like i don't even see it.
  • 00:24:46.938 --> 00:24:50.008
  • Because the truth is, there's consequences for yourself
  • 00:24:51.142 --> 00:24:54.112
  • When you get involved in something that has nothing to do with you.
  • 00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.182
  • Am i right?
  • 00:24:57.516 --> 00:24:58.783
  • But wisdom will cause you to understand
  • 00:24:58.783 --> 00:25:01.720
  • What fight could eventually come and find you.
  • 00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:04.990
  • So guess what?
  • 00:25:05.357 --> 00:25:06.658
  • Oh, come on, i'm about to preach this message.
  • 00:25:06.658 --> 00:25:08.927
  • I don't need food.
  • 00:25:08.927 --> 00:25:10.595
  • My family has food, but there's a line in the pit
  • 00:25:10.595 --> 00:25:14.366
  • And there's people starving in new york city.
  • 00:25:15.300 --> 00:25:16.701
  • And i'm going to jump in and fight that lion.
  • 00:25:16.701 --> 00:25:19.137
  • Because i know as a warrior, sometimes the fight.
  • 00:25:19.137 --> 00:25:22.374
  • You didn't go looking for the fight, but the fight came looking for you.
  • 00:25:22.374 --> 00:25:26.077
  • Come on. there's there's human trafficking.
  • 00:25:26.945 --> 00:25:28.113
  • Nobody has kidnaped my daughters.
  • 00:25:28.113 --> 00:25:30.081
  • But i'm going to fight human trafficking
  • 00:25:30.081 --> 00:25:32.050
  • Because it's like that lion can kill somebody else's daughter.
  • 00:25:32.050 --> 00:25:35.921
  • And a warrior knows how to rise up and fight for somebody else's family.
  • 00:25:37.355 --> 00:25:40.158
  • So this man benaiah was doing something that very few people ever learn how to do.
  • 00:25:41.760 --> 00:25:44.729
  • He went from inward focused, and he was outward focused.
  • 00:25:45.864 --> 00:25:48.733
  • And he said, i didn't go looking for this lion.
  • 00:25:49.668 --> 00:25:51.002
  • Come on.
  • 00:25:51.002 --> 00:25:51.970
  • I didn't look for this fight.
  • 00:25:51.970 --> 00:25:53.104
  • But this fight came looking for me.
  • 00:25:53.104 --> 00:25:54.839
  • See, i'm here to tell somebody there's something about the spirit
  • 00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.076
  • Of the living god on the inside of you that will awaken you to a fight,
  • 00:25:58.076 --> 00:26:02.380
  • That will awaken you to a passion, that will awaken you to a calling.
  • 00:26:03.748 --> 00:26:06.551
  • And people won't be able to understand.
  • 00:26:07.419 --> 00:26:08.853
  • Why would you go in that pit? why would you fight it?
  • 00:26:08.853 --> 00:26:10.855
  • But there's something on the inside of me that won't let me not fight it.
  • 00:26:10.855 --> 00:26:15.660
  • There's something inside of me that won't let me jump in that pit.
  • 00:26:16.962 --> 00:26:19.097
  • Even if it means i'm going to die.
  • 00:26:19.864 --> 00:26:21.166
  • That is the definition of a hero.
  • 00:26:21.166 --> 00:26:24.669
  • Nobody forces a fireman to go into a building.
  • 00:26:25.570 --> 00:26:28.640
  • They sign up for it because they can't help but
  • 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.643
  • To go into that pit and fight a lion.
  • 00:26:31.643 --> 00:26:34.879
  • And you know what?
  • 00:26:35.313 --> 00:26:36.748
  • We don't have enough heroes in the body of christ.
  • 00:26:36.748 --> 00:26:38.850
  • I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:26:39.985 --> 00:26:42.187
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:43.021 --> 00:26:44.656
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:26:44.656 --> 00:26:46.524
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:26:46.524 --> 00:26:50.996
  • That we do around the united states and around the world,
  • 00:26:50.996 --> 00:26:54.265
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel
  • 00:26:55.033 --> 00:26:56.601
  • In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
  • 00:26:56.601 --> 00:27:00.639
  • Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states.
  • 00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:05.477
  • Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
  • 00:27:06.611 --> 00:27:12.751
  • Your.
  • 00:27:12.984 --> 00:27:12.984
