| Mike Signorelli - Go V1 (Part 2) | February 16, 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 --> 00:00:32.786
- I don't need food.
- 00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:34.854
- My family has food, but there's a line in the pit.
- 00:00:34.854 --> 00:00:38.591
- And there's people starving in new york city.
- 00:00:39.526 --> 00:00:40.994
- And i'm going to jump in and fight that lion.
- 00:00:40.994 --> 00:00:43.396
- Because i know as a warrior, sometimes the fight.
- 00:00:43.396 --> 00:00:47.000
- You didn't go looking for the fight, but the fight came looking for you.
- 00:00:48.468 --> 00:00:50.370
- Come on. there's there's human trafficking.
- 00:00:51.237 --> 00:00:52.405
- Nobody has kidnaped my daughters.
- 00:00:52.405 --> 00:00:54.374
- But i'm going to fight human trafficking
- 00:00:54.374 --> 00:00:56.409
- Because it's like that lion can kill somebody else's daughter.
- 00:00:56.409 --> 00:01:00.246
- And a warrior knows how to rise up and fight for somebody else's family.
- 00:01:01.681 --> 00:01:04.451
- So this man benaiah was doing something that very few people ever learn how to do.
- 00:01:06.052 --> 00:01:09.055
- He went from inward focused, and he was outward
- 00:01:10.023 --> 00:01:12.225
- Focused and he said, i didn't go looking for this lion.
- 00:01:12.225 --> 00:01:15.462
- Come on.
- 00:01:15.728 --> 00:01:16.729
- I didn't look for this fight.
- 00:01:16.729 --> 00:01:17.897
- But this fight came looking for me.
- 00:01:17.897 --> 00:01:19.666
- See, i'm here to tell somebody there's something about the spirit
- 00:01:19.666 --> 00:01:22.435
- Of the living god on the inside of you that will awaken you to a fight,
- 00:01:22.435 --> 00:01:26.773
- That will awaken you to a passion, that will awaken you to a calling.
- 00:01:28.141 --> 00:01:30.910
- And people won't be able to understand.
- 00:01:31.778 --> 00:01:33.213
- Why would you go in that pit? why would you fight it?
- 00:01:33.213 --> 00:01:35.181
- But there's something on the inside of me that won't let me not fight it.
- 00:01:35.181 --> 00:01:39.919
- There's something inside of me that won't let me jump in that pit.
- 00:01:41.221 --> 00:01:43.356
- Even if it means i'm going to die.
- 00:01:44.124 --> 00:01:45.458
- That is the definition of a hero.
- 00:01:45.458 --> 00:01:48.962
- Nobody forces a fireman to go into a building.
- 00:01:49.863 --> 00:01:52.932
- They sign up for it because they can't help but
- 00:01:52.932 --> 00:01:55.969
- To go into that pit and fight a lion.
- 00:01:55.969 --> 00:01:59.239
- And you know what?
- 00:01:59.672 --> 00:02:01.107
- We don't have enough heroes in the body of christ.
- 00:02:01.107 --> 00:02:03.143
- And i think when i look at the story of benaiah,
- 00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:05.945
- It's this hidden act of courage that becomes the foundation for elevation.
- 00:02:05.945 --> 00:02:10.650
- He went into a pit, but going down into that pit
- 00:02:11.651 --> 00:02:15.054
- Was the fastest way to go up in the spirit realm,
- 00:02:16.089 --> 00:02:18.191
- Because the bible immortalized his name as a mighty warrior,
- 00:02:19.392 --> 00:02:22.829
- And later he ends up becoming a commander of david's bodyguard
- 00:02:23.997 --> 00:02:27.367
- And eventually a commander of israel's entire army under solomon.
- 00:02:28.701 --> 00:02:32.138
- So the fastest way to promotion
- 00:02:32.772 --> 00:02:35.108
- Was to fight someone else's battle.
- 00:02:35.108 --> 00:02:37.977
- Come on.
- 00:02:37.977 --> 00:02:39.812
- He ended up being put as the commander over all of solomon's army,
- 00:02:39.812 --> 00:02:43.883
- Because the story got told of the man who would go into a pit and fight a battle.
- 00:02:45.451 --> 00:02:48.888
- Oh come on.
- 00:02:49.222 --> 00:02:50.190
- I showed up to new york city.
- 00:02:50.190 --> 00:02:51.558
- I don't have a drug problem,
- 00:02:51.558 --> 00:02:53.393
- But i came here to set some people free from addiction.
- 00:02:53.393 --> 00:02:57.096
- I came here.
- 00:02:57.430 --> 00:02:58.698
- It's about what you do for other people.
- 00:02:58.698 --> 00:03:00.600
- Jesus never sinned, but he died for you.
- 00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:04.003
- He was the benaiah of the new testament who went down into the pit of hell
- 00:03:05.471 --> 00:03:08.741
- And took the keys of death, hell on the grave, and he conquered that
- 00:03:10.143 --> 00:03:12.111
- Lion, the devil, and said, whom this sun sets free is free indeed.
- 00:03:12.111 --> 00:03:17.450
- And so, like jesus, i've been a prentice in the fighting on your behalf.
- 00:03:18.818 --> 00:03:22.722
- And i won't let you die.
- 00:03:23.223 --> 00:03:24.691
- Because i won't let that lion live.
- 00:03:24.691 --> 00:03:29.162
- Private obedience.
- 00:03:29.596 --> 00:03:32.065
- Private courage.
- 00:03:32.065 --> 00:03:34.500
- Private sacrifice.
- 00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:37.170
- Private discipline causes him
- 00:03:37.170 --> 00:03:40.907
- And another generation to become the commander of solomon's armies.
- 00:03:42.208 --> 00:03:45.845
- See, everybody wants a public win because you can put it on social media.
- 00:03:47.313 --> 00:03:50.850
- But god's looking for deniers who know how to win in private.
- 00:03:52.051 --> 00:03:56.189
- This is where real greatness is forged.
- 00:03:57.023 --> 00:03:59.592
- Confidence is not built on hype.
- 00:03:59.592 --> 00:04:02.595
- It's built through private victories.
- 00:04:02.595 --> 00:04:04.931
- It's built through small wins in a pit.
- 00:04:04.931 --> 00:04:07.500
- Small. quiet. disciplined.
- 00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:09.235
- Listen, i'm not going to grab your phone and see what you've been doing,
- 00:04:09.235 --> 00:04:12.372
- But you'll know when you get down to that pit.
- 00:04:13.339 --> 00:04:14.641
- If the lion beat you again.
- 00:04:14.641 --> 00:04:18.945
- It's the private battles.
- 00:04:19.512 --> 00:04:21.781
- The lion, the pit and the snow.
- 00:04:21.781 --> 00:04:25.084
- The lion, the pit in the snow.
- 00:04:25.718 --> 00:04:27.954
- He went down into a pit on a day when snow had fallen and struck a lion.
- 00:04:27.954 --> 00:04:32.992
- Come on. this is not normal.
- 00:04:33.593 --> 00:04:35.895
- He didn't avoid the snow.
- 00:04:36.462 --> 00:04:39.299
- He didn't avoid the pit.
- 00:04:39.299 --> 00:04:41.467
- He didn't avoid the lion.
- 00:04:41.467 --> 00:04:43.870
- Stop avoiding your next level
- 00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:47.206
- Because it's coming to you in a form that you want to
- 00:04:48.274 --> 00:04:49.976
- Avoid.
- 00:04:49.976 --> 00:04:54.280
- Your next level is on the other side
- 00:04:55.048 --> 00:04:57.717
- Of obedience and removing hesitancy.
- 00:04:57.717 --> 00:05:01.354
- Benaiah chooses to climb down into the pit.
- 00:05:02.221 --> 00:05:04.557
- He wasn't punished.
- 00:05:04.557 --> 00:05:06.326
- He wasn't trapped.
- 00:05:06.326 --> 00:05:07.994
- But he chose to go down. see, some of you.
- 00:05:07.994 --> 00:05:10.763
- The only way that god's ever been able to help you is through consequences.
- 00:05:10.763 --> 00:05:15.034
- When are you going to learn how to go down into the pit on your own?
- 00:05:16.436 --> 00:05:19.972
- God's always.
- 00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:22.342
- To some of you, the only reason why you ever came clean is because you got caught.
- 00:05:22.342 --> 00:05:26.245
- When are you going to start telling on yourself?
- 00:05:27.246 --> 00:05:29.082
- Go down into the pit on your own volition.
- 00:05:29.082 --> 00:05:32.352
- See, this is why i'm trying to help you.
- 00:05:33.219 --> 00:05:33.886
- There's.
- 00:05:33.886 --> 00:05:35.088
- There's a huge contextual truth here.
- 00:05:35.088 --> 00:05:36.756
- Anyone who grew up in the winter knows this is loose footing.
- 00:05:36.756 --> 00:05:40.793
- Every step can take you out.
- 00:05:41.394 --> 00:05:42.562
- The lion has better grip than man.
- 00:05:42.562 --> 00:05:44.831
- It's everything's rig.
- 00:05:44.831 --> 00:05:46.265
- This is the last thing i want
- 00:05:46.265 --> 00:05:47.800
- To give you this revelation because it's going to help you.
- 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.702
- This was a high risk environment.
- 00:05:49.702 --> 00:05:51.804
- See, god is calling you to learn how to put yourself
- 00:05:51.804 --> 00:05:55.842
- In some impossible situations.
- 00:05:56.476 --> 00:05:58.077
- You put yourself in the impossible situation,
- 00:05:58.077 --> 00:06:00.880
- But now you climb down into the pit.
- 00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:03.182
- So you gotta put yourself into the impossible situation.
- 00:06:03.182 --> 00:06:06.753
- This is when the miraculous happens.
- 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:09.522
- Moses, go in front of the white red sea and i will parted when i want to parted.
- 00:06:09.522 --> 00:06:13.860
- But i told you to make the situation impossible.
- 00:06:14.827 --> 00:06:17.196
- How many times in scripture does god almighty
- 00:06:18.097 --> 00:06:20.166
- Tell somebody makes this situation impossible?
- 00:06:20.166 --> 00:06:23.703
- He'll walk you all the way up to the red sea, and he'll
- 00:06:24.804 --> 00:06:26.606
- Literally say, now you need me now.
- 00:06:26.606 --> 00:06:29.909
- You need faith.
- 00:06:30.276 --> 00:06:30.810
- Come on.
- 00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:32.745
- God, i'm thankful for the part that you've given me that i lower myself in.
- 00:06:32.745 --> 00:06:35.782
- Because no man can defeat a lion.
- 00:06:36.516 --> 00:06:38.584
- No man can defeat lust.
- 00:06:39.085 --> 00:06:42.321
- No man can defeat greed.
- 00:06:42.822 --> 00:06:44.424
- No man can defeat pride.
- 00:06:44.424 --> 00:06:47.360
- But when benaiah went down in there, he said, god, i'm not fighting this
- 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.930
- Lion for me.
- 00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:52.098
- I'm fighting it for my family.
- 00:06:52.098 --> 00:06:54.767
- I said, you know what?
- 00:06:54.767 --> 00:06:56.269
- I'm not fighting this lion for me.
- 00:06:56.269 --> 00:06:57.837
- I'm fighting for israel.
- 00:06:57.837 --> 00:06:59.539
- I killed those men who were like lions.
- 00:06:59.539 --> 00:07:01.607
- Now i'm going to kill the lion because no man can kill a line.
- 00:07:01.607 --> 00:07:04.677
- But under the anointing, the power of god. then.
- 00:07:04.677 --> 00:07:07.380
- And when and when it ain't for you.
- 00:07:07.380 --> 00:07:08.948
- When it's for someone else.
- 00:07:08.948 --> 00:07:10.416
- I didn't show up to manhattan for mike signa rally.
- 00:07:10.416 --> 00:07:13.719
- And so, god, you have to give me a building.
- 00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:15.955
- You have to bring a worship team.
- 00:07:15.955 --> 00:07:17.890
- You have to bring ministers.
- 00:07:17.890 --> 00:07:19.659
- You have to help me because i'm not here.
- 00:07:19.659 --> 00:07:21.694
- I'm fighting this lion for somebody else.
- 00:07:21.694 --> 00:07:24.330
- I came down in this pit.
- 00:07:24.330 --> 00:07:25.765
- Some of you have only ever fought your own battles.
- 00:07:25.765 --> 00:07:28.134
- And that's why you're still on the same level.
- 00:07:28.134 --> 00:07:30.803
- But graduation is not when you step into paradise.
- 00:07:30.803 --> 00:07:34.440
- It's when you step into somebody else's battle.
- 00:07:35.374 --> 00:07:37.176
- God raised me up to the point
- 00:07:37.176 --> 00:07:38.845
- Where i fight for somebody other than for my sad, sorry self.
- 00:07:38.845 --> 00:07:43.316
- God, i want to learn how to fight for someone else.
- 00:07:44.317 --> 00:07:46.719
- How many men never become men until they have children
- 00:07:47.787 --> 00:07:50.490
- And learn how to live for somebody else?
- 00:07:50.490 --> 00:07:56.062
- Hey, join me
- 00:07:56.395 --> 00:07:57.663

- Right there where the early church was born.

- We're going to share some incredible meals together.

- You're going to get to meet other people from around the world.
- 00:08:15.948 --> 00:08:18.684
- And this is an exclusive trip, okay.
- 00:08:18.684 --> 00:08:21.153
- Which means you've got to act now while there are still seats available.
- 00:08:21.153 --> 00:08:25.391
- So scan the qr code, tap the link and get your seat. now.
- 00:08:26.526 --> 00:08:29.829
- You are not going to regret it.
- 00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:31.364
- I can't wait to see you on this.
- 00:08:31.364 --> 00:08:33.332
- Retracing the apostle paul. greece tour.
- 00:08:33.332 --> 00:08:36.202
- Come on land and sea.
- 00:08:36.202 --> 00:08:38.004
- It doesn't get any better than that. i'll see you there.
- 00:08:38.004 --> 00:08:40.940
- But we want to go to the highest level.
- 00:08:41.774 --> 00:08:43.242
- Start fighting for god's children, not just your own.
- 00:08:43.242 --> 00:08:46.579
- The pit offer no escape.
- 00:08:47.079 --> 00:08:49.315
- Once you're down there, there's no retreat.
- 00:08:49.315 --> 00:08:52.051
- There's no tactical advantage.
- 00:08:52.051 --> 00:08:54.053
- There's no high ground.
- 00:08:54.053 --> 00:08:55.221
- Just open field.
- 00:08:55.221 --> 00:08:56.622
- This was v1 before v1 existed.
- 00:08:56.622 --> 00:08:59.392
- The point of no return.
- 00:08:59.392 --> 00:09:02.862
- God, this time i'm going to stay single.
- 00:09:03.729 --> 00:09:07.166
- I'm not going to sleep around.
- 00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:09.135
- I'm going down into that pit.
- 00:09:09.135 --> 00:09:11.070
- And it's the point of no return.
- 00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:13.105
- And i'm coming out of this pit pure
- 00:09:13.105 --> 00:09:16.442
- God. it's the point of no return.
- 00:09:17.209 --> 00:09:18.945
- I'm not going to shop churches.
- 00:09:18.945 --> 00:09:20.746
- I'm going to covenant to one.
- 00:09:20.746 --> 00:09:22.348
- I'm going down into that pit, and i'm facing this lion.
- 00:09:22.348 --> 00:09:25.751
- And it's the point of no return, whatever this thing is.
- 00:09:26.852 --> 00:09:28.988
- See, the lion was israel's threat in ancient israel.
- 00:09:30.022 --> 00:09:32.959
- When you study this deeper.
- 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:34.894
- Lions threaten flocks, families and borders.
- 00:09:34.894 --> 00:09:37.930
- A lion in a village region would terrorize the whole community
- 00:09:39.131 --> 00:09:41.834
- By killing this lion.
- 00:09:42.335 --> 00:09:43.302
- Benaiah wasn't seeking glory.
- 00:09:43.302 --> 00:09:45.605
- He was protecting people.
- 00:09:45.605 --> 00:09:47.873
- See, it's generally understood that there's
- 00:09:47.873 --> 00:09:51.677
- Another kind of boldness when you're being bold for somebody else.
- 00:09:51.677 --> 00:09:55.948
- See, this is what i want to end this message on.
- 00:09:56.916 --> 00:09:59.652
- As as i come to a close,
- 00:09:59.652 --> 00:10:02.622
- Is i believe that what god's calling you to do
- 00:10:02.622 --> 00:10:05.224
- Is to first be bold for yourself,
- 00:10:05.224 --> 00:10:07.760
- But be even bolder for somebody else.
- 00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:11.030
- This is what it said.
- 00:10:11.530 --> 00:10:12.231
- It said,
- 00:10:12.231 --> 00:10:14.233
- It literally said, abraham, if you go into this other direction
- 00:10:14.233 --> 00:10:18.704
- And leave your family, leave your kindred, then i will make you a great nation.
- 00:10:20.206 --> 00:10:23.109
- In other words, you and sarah, your wife,
- 00:10:24.010 --> 00:10:25.811
- Are going to go on this journey, but it's for somebody else.
- 00:10:25.811 --> 00:10:28.781
- It's for somebody else.
- 00:10:28.781 --> 00:10:30.716
- And i really feel this on a deep and profound level.
- 00:10:30.716 --> 00:10:33.953
- But god is trying to bring you
- 00:10:34.587 --> 00:10:36.155
- Into another form of boldness where you find your purpose.
- 00:10:36.155 --> 00:10:39.358
- To really go v1 is to live your life
- 00:10:40.126 --> 00:10:42.862
- In response to god's calling to serve somebody else.
- 00:10:42.862 --> 00:10:46.799
- You know jehovah, which is this man's father.
- 00:10:47.767 --> 00:10:50.302
- Benaiah father was a prominent levitical priest.
- 00:10:50.302 --> 00:10:53.739
- This is in first chronicles 27 five.
- 00:10:54.507 --> 00:10:56.108
- So i'm giving you the backstory.
- 00:10:56.108 --> 00:10:58.044
- And here's the principle.
- 00:10:58.044 --> 00:10:59.612
- Your v1 moment may happen in obscurity, not on a platform.
- 00:10:59.612 --> 00:11:03.215
- Hidden faithfulness unlocks public influence.
- 00:11:04.183 --> 00:11:07.086
- And his father was a levite,
- 00:11:07.687 --> 00:11:10.923
- Which to be a warrior that was capable of killing a lion through the power of god
- 00:11:12.525 --> 00:11:15.294
- That was capable of killing these, rival armies.
- 00:11:16.262 --> 00:11:19.165
- He was under the supernatural power of god.
- 00:11:20.066 --> 00:11:21.701
- But but what happened was his
- 00:11:21.701 --> 00:11:24.336
- Father was a levite.
- 00:11:24.336 --> 00:11:27.707
- So that means that meant that benaiah had to have a serious reflection with god.
- 00:11:29.241 --> 00:11:32.144
- That said, but what am i?
- 00:11:32.712 --> 00:11:34.146
- Just like terah was the father of abraham.
- 00:11:34.146 --> 00:11:37.416
- You have this levite father
- 00:11:38.017 --> 00:11:40.286
- Who is now over berea,
- 00:11:40.286 --> 00:11:43.689
- And it would have been easy to just repeat the father's destiny.
- 00:11:45.024 --> 00:11:47.560
- But he said, no, there's a fight on the inside of me.
- 00:11:48.627 --> 00:11:51.130
- See? each and every one of you, you got to stand before god.
- 00:11:52.298 --> 00:11:55.367
- And you got to ask god, who am i?
- 00:11:56.102 --> 00:11:57.903
- How can i just tell you something deep right now?
- 00:11:57.903 --> 00:12:00.606
- Are y'all still with me?
- 00:12:01.107 --> 00:12:02.942
- Okay. jesus is hanging on the cross.
- 00:12:02.942 --> 00:12:05.845
- There's two men, one on each side of them.
- 00:12:05.845 --> 00:12:09.115
- And here's the thing.
- 00:12:09.615 --> 00:12:11.050
- You'll learn in life that there's wise and unwise.
- 00:12:11.050 --> 00:12:13.753
- And then there's evil.
- 00:12:14.253 --> 00:12:15.154
- Those are the categories.
- 00:12:15.154 --> 00:12:16.956
- And it's funny because the one man on jesus side, he's just unwise
- 00:12:16.956 --> 00:12:21.694
- When he's next to jesus, and he's looking at the purity
- 00:12:22.762 --> 00:12:25.331
- When he's looking at the holiness
- 00:12:26.065 --> 00:12:27.633
- And the righteousness of god represented in christ incarnate.
- 00:12:27.633 --> 00:12:30.503
- He literally realizes, why have i been a criminal my whole life?
- 00:12:31.737 --> 00:12:34.106
- Why have i been a criminal my whole life?
- 00:12:34.974 --> 00:12:36.742
- This is crazy.
- 00:12:36.742 --> 00:12:38.244
- And what he says is, if i can be
- 00:12:38.244 --> 00:12:40.946
- Saved, i believe that you are the messiah.
- 00:12:40.946 --> 00:12:44.150
- Will you save me?
- 00:12:44.150 --> 00:12:45.584
- And jesus says, surely today you'll be in paradise.
- 00:12:45.584 --> 00:12:48.287
- But watch this.
- 00:12:48.287 --> 00:12:50.222
- Jesus does not turn to the other man and say, would you like to be saved? to.
- 00:12:50.222 --> 00:12:55.227
- He does not minister to him. why?
- 00:12:55.961 --> 00:12:59.231
- Because the very fact that
- 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.700
- That man never reached out to jesus was the evidence that he was evil.
- 00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:05.504
- And even being that close in proximity
- 00:13:06.338 --> 00:13:08.641
- To jesus was not enough for him to see the savior.
- 00:13:08.641 --> 00:13:12.945
- Here's the thing i'm not interested
- 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.949
- In trying to convince everybody that jesus is savior.
- 00:13:18.017 --> 00:13:21.253
- I've been conducting church services for 20 years of my life,
- 00:13:22.521 --> 00:13:24.990
- And there's always this people who just come in and they leave,
- 00:13:26.192 --> 00:13:27.860
- And they're like that
- 00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:29.695
- Other person hanging on the cross that you got so close to jesus.
- 00:13:29.695 --> 00:13:32.565
- The people around you got medical verifiable miracles.
- 00:13:33.632 --> 00:13:36.368
- The people around you got delivered from demons.
- 00:13:37.336 --> 00:13:38.904
- The people around you got saved from all kinds of perversion.
- 00:13:38.904 --> 00:13:42.074
- And you were right in the same atmosphere of jesus, but couldn't see it.
- 00:13:43.542 --> 00:13:45.511
- But there's another group of people, and this is who i'm talking to right now,
- 00:13:47.012 --> 00:13:49.582
- To the ones who see jesus.
- 00:13:50.149 --> 00:13:51.550
- And they say, how did i even live my life like this?
- 00:13:51.550 --> 00:13:54.987
- How did i go so many years like this?
- 00:13:55.754 --> 00:13:57.723
- Why did i live a lie?
- 00:13:57.723 --> 00:13:59.024
- If there's still time, i want to be saved.
- 00:13:59.024 --> 00:14:01.093
- And the question i have for you is just like benaiah,
- 00:14:01.093 --> 00:14:04.530
- Can you look at your family lineage and say, i cannot be like my family?
- 00:14:05.998 --> 00:14:09.568
- It's time to be the breaker.
- 00:14:10.169 --> 00:14:11.203
- Yeah.
- 00:14:11.203 --> 00:14:11.971
- There's some good
- 00:14:11.971 --> 00:14:13.739
- That i can glean from my lineage, but i've got to shift my lineage.
- 00:14:13.739 --> 00:14:16.141
- I gotta shift into another line.
- 00:14:16.141 --> 00:14:18.143
- Is there anybody here who will say that?
- 00:14:18.143 --> 00:14:20.279
- He said i'm.
- 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.814
- I come from a priestly line, but i'm actually a warrior.
- 00:14:21.814 --> 00:14:24.817
- I'm. i'm.
- 00:14:25.117 --> 00:14:26.852
- My dad was terah, but i'm actually called to a strange land.
- 00:14:26.852 --> 00:14:29.188
- Is there anybody who will
- 00:14:29.755 --> 00:14:31.557
- Just jump to your feet right now and say, it's time to make a shift?
- 00:14:31.557 --> 00:14:34.126
- It's time to step in.
- 00:14:34.126 --> 00:14:35.561
- It's time to go, everyone.
- 00:14:35.561 --> 00:14:37.529
- It's time to say god, if you.
- 00:14:37.529 --> 00:14:39.632
- If you're calling me, i hear you. i see you.
- 00:14:39.632 --> 00:14:42.868
- Come on.
- 00:14:43.135 --> 00:14:44.270
- But i didn't inherit his courage.
- 00:14:44.270 --> 00:14:46.105
- He cultivated his courage all alone.
- 00:14:46.105 --> 00:14:48.707
- I'm going to walk this thing out.
- 00:14:48.707 --> 00:14:50.376
- Come on.
- 00:14:50.376 --> 00:14:51.744
- There was nobody there on the cross next to jesus.
- 00:14:51.744 --> 00:14:53.679
- But he said, i can't.
- 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:55.447
- I'm not going to leave this world the way that i've been in this world.
- 00:14:55.447 --> 00:14:58.284
- Some of the greatest warriors
- 00:14:58.918 --> 00:15:00.486
- In the kingdom were born from families of another descent.
- 00:15:00.486 --> 00:15:03.923
- Is there anybody here ready to go?
- 00:15:04.690 --> 00:15:05.658
- V one with me.
- 00:15:05.658 --> 00:15:08.494
- Come on.
- 00:15:08.761 --> 00:15:09.695
- Lift your hands towards heaven.
- 00:15:09.695 --> 00:15:10.629
- All across this place right now.
- 00:15:10.629 --> 00:15:15.401
- With your hands lifted right now.
- 00:15:16.135 --> 00:15:17.636
- The lord is asking you.
- 00:15:17.636 --> 00:15:20.005
- I'm going to do the things that are too small for others to applaud.
- 00:15:20.005 --> 00:15:24.176
- But heaven is acknowledging i'm going to do
- 00:15:25.077 --> 00:15:28.047
- The things that are too small for everybody to applaud.
- 00:15:28.047 --> 00:15:32.318
- But heaven is going to acknowledge
- 00:15:33.085 --> 00:15:35.487
- It's those little acts,
- 00:15:35.988 --> 00:15:38.223
- Those little acts of obedience.
- 00:15:38.223 --> 00:15:40.960
- And what happens in private if you're near one of our campuses,
- 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.497
- I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
- 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.169
- There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
- 00:15:51.637 --> 00:15:54.807
- If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
- 00:15:55.808 --> 00:15:58.377
- Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
- 00:15:59.345 --> 00:16:01.180
- And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
- 00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:05.484
- So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
- 00:16:06.819 --> 00:16:12.624
- Oh, i feel the presence of god.
- 00:16:13.258 --> 00:16:15.494
- Here's what i want to do.
- 00:16:15.494 --> 00:16:16.795
- I want to make a moment, a public declaration.
- 00:16:16.795 --> 00:16:20.666
- The reason why i feel so led to do this.
- 00:16:21.533 --> 00:16:22.801
- Because i didn't feel this last week.
- 00:16:22.801 --> 00:16:25.004
- But i feel it this week is there's there's at least one or more people
- 00:16:25.004 --> 00:16:30.376
- That need to make this, like, hey, i'm fully in type of decision.
- 00:16:31.677 --> 00:16:35.681
- And what that means for your life is you're coming out of
- 00:16:36.815 --> 00:16:40.686
- Partially submitted, partially committed,
- 00:16:41.553 --> 00:16:44.857
- And there's just something about that full.
- 00:16:45.724 --> 00:16:47.693
- Have you ever been on a roller coaster and before it won, you're in the line.
- 00:16:47.693 --> 00:16:50.696
- You're looking, you're like, this is about to be crazy.
- 00:16:50.696 --> 00:16:53.966
- And you know, you're even like, do i do this?
- 00:16:54.900 --> 00:16:56.402
- And then you're putting on your phone in the google or the
- 00:16:56.402 --> 00:16:58.871
- How many people died on blah, blah, blah ride?
- 00:16:58.871 --> 00:17:01.440
- Have you ever done that?
- 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.275
- But then what happens is someone, some of you know what i'm talking about,
- 00:17:03.275 --> 00:17:06.345
- But then all of a sudden you get on the ride
- 00:17:07.246 --> 00:17:08.614
- And you know, when you go click, click, click,
- 00:17:08.614 --> 00:17:09.915
- And then all of a sudden it starts to take off
- 00:17:09.915 --> 00:17:11.216
- And you're like, well, i guess if i die, i die.
- 00:17:11.216 --> 00:17:13.685
- See, the problem is, there's
- 00:17:14.286 --> 00:17:15.821
- Many of you that have never experienced that in your faith.
- 00:17:15.821 --> 00:17:19.058
- Why? because you always have a way out.
- 00:17:19.858 --> 00:17:22.928
- You always give yourself an escape hatch.
- 00:17:23.729 --> 00:17:25.631
- You always say you're going to quit that addiction, but you go back to it.
- 00:17:25.631 --> 00:17:28.801
- You always say that you're going to finally go in, but then you regress.
- 00:17:30.269 --> 00:17:31.904
- And i feel like there needs to be a moment before we transition
- 00:17:33.105 --> 00:17:34.740
- Of just full commitment.
- 00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:36.742
- And i want to give the opportunity to do that.
- 00:17:36.742 --> 00:17:39.378
- But let me let me talk to you for a moment.
- 00:17:39.378 --> 00:17:41.046
- Come on.
- 00:17:41.046 --> 00:17:44.283
- Can i can i speak from my heart
- 00:17:44.917 --> 00:17:47.186
- For a moment?
- 00:17:47.186 --> 00:17:48.287
- And you got real quiet. praise god.
- 00:17:48.287 --> 00:17:49.721
- Thank you.
- 00:17:49.721 --> 00:17:51.190
- I like your sure it is time to lock in.
- 00:17:51.190 --> 00:17:54.026
- The lord deeply convicted me of something, and i want to share this
- 00:17:54.026 --> 00:17:56.962
- With this campus.
- 00:17:56.962 --> 00:17:59.298
- I'm debating on
- 00:17:59.665 --> 00:18:01.433
- How deep i go on this, but i'll go deep enough to embarrass myself.
- 00:18:01.433 --> 00:18:03.702
- How's that?
- 00:18:03.702 --> 00:18:05.704
- Okay.
- 00:18:05.704 --> 00:18:08.974
- I believe everybody's
- 00:18:09.475 --> 00:18:10.609
- Life has varying degrees of destiny,
- 00:18:10.609 --> 00:18:13.579
- And i can support this from a biblical perspective.
- 00:18:14.613 --> 00:18:17.583
- But there's a permissive will of god, and then there's the submissive will of god.
- 00:18:19.218 --> 00:18:22.254
- So the permissive will of god is essentially
- 00:18:23.155 --> 00:18:25.924
- Less than his best.
- 00:18:26.391 --> 00:18:28.093
- And you're still getting to heaven.
- 00:18:28.093 --> 00:18:29.895
- Praise god, i'll see you in heaven if you make it.
- 00:18:29.895 --> 00:18:31.997
- Praise god. okay, that was a joke.
- 00:18:31.997 --> 00:18:35.334
- But you know it's the permissive will of god.
- 00:18:36.301 --> 00:18:37.236
- It was like i had this for you.
- 00:18:37.236 --> 00:18:39.138
- You settle for all this, but i love you and you're saved.
- 00:18:39.138 --> 00:18:43.642
- You're saved, but you're in chains.
- 00:18:44.443 --> 00:18:45.878
- I'll see you in heaven.
- 00:18:45.878 --> 00:18:47.212
- You're saved but you're mediocre.
- 00:18:47.212 --> 00:18:49.381
- I'll see you in heaven.
- 00:18:49.381 --> 00:18:50.582
- You're saved but you're undisciplined.
- 00:18:50.582 --> 00:18:52.684
- I'll see you in heaven.
- 00:18:52.684 --> 00:18:53.852
- You're saved.
- 00:18:53.852 --> 00:18:54.786
- But you're trapped in a job.
- 00:18:54.786 --> 00:18:57.089
- Instead of your calling.
- 00:18:57.089 --> 00:18:59.224
- I'll see you in heaven.
- 00:18:59.725 --> 00:19:02.261
- But then there's the submissive will of god.
- 00:19:02.261 --> 00:19:05.564
- And i don't want the reason why i cry so much at this campus
- 00:19:06.732 --> 00:19:09.067
- Is because when i look into your faces, i see.
- 00:19:09.067 --> 00:19:12.838
- Because many of you are younger than me, and i see the my face at your age
- 00:19:14.339 --> 00:19:18.977
- And what the journey i was going at.
- 00:19:19.778 --> 00:19:21.747
- I just told the team
- 00:19:21.747 --> 00:19:23.916
- The last couple days i've been, i went through like 20 years
- 00:19:23.916 --> 00:19:26.985
- Worth of pictures and videos of my life
- 00:19:26.985 --> 00:19:29.054
- Because i'm preparing for next sunday, which will be not only ordination sunday,
- 00:19:29.054 --> 00:19:33.792
- Where we're going to ordain pastors that i'm raising up across the country,
- 00:19:35.260 --> 00:19:37.930
- But it's also the final sermon for go v1.
- 00:19:38.797 --> 00:19:41.767
- And i was looking through the archives and and it took me back
- 00:19:42.968 --> 00:19:45.571
- Even before v1 church. and
- 00:19:45.571 --> 00:19:48.240
- I was
- 00:19:48.473 --> 00:19:50.242
- Looking at all these pictures and videos of me when i was your age,
- 00:19:50.242 --> 00:19:52.444
- And i was like, man, the journey that i was on was
- 00:19:53.478 --> 00:19:55.614
- I was trying to get out of the the permissive will of god,
- 00:19:55.614 --> 00:20:00.352
- And i was trying to get into the submissive will of god.
- 00:20:01.486 --> 00:20:04.089
- And it's like a butterfly trying to break out of that cocoon, you know what i mean?
- 00:20:05.757 --> 00:20:08.694
- And it's it's just it's such a process.
- 00:20:09.528 --> 00:20:11.797
- And what i was telling the team before,
- 00:20:11.797 --> 00:20:14.199
- This is like the lord started asking me to sell things.
- 00:20:14.199 --> 00:20:18.036
- The lord started asking me to give things up.
- 00:20:18.036 --> 00:20:19.905
- The lord started asking me to go places.
- 00:20:19.905 --> 00:20:22.007
- And i think that this generation has such
- 00:20:22.007 --> 00:20:24.776
- A revelation of son, but not a revelation of prisoner.
- 00:20:24.776 --> 00:20:29.281
- And jesus
- 00:20:29.581 --> 00:20:31.049
- Or i'm sorry, paul, paul said, i'm a prisoner of jesus.
- 00:20:31.049 --> 00:20:34.987
- And i think that there's such a healthy understanding
- 00:20:36.054 --> 00:20:38.557
- Because we're so rebellious through and through and through.
- 00:20:38.557 --> 00:20:41.927
- And it's like, if you go to jail and they tell you
- 00:20:42.894 --> 00:20:44.496
- You can't have a phone, homie, you don't have a phone, right?
- 00:20:44.496 --> 00:20:48.600
- But then when you sneak a phone in, you get you get a consequence for that.
- 00:20:50.102 --> 00:20:53.272
- So i think there's sometimes it's like we're so used to sonship,
- 00:20:54.606 --> 00:20:56.174
- We become the spoiled brats of the kingdom.
- 00:20:56.174 --> 00:20:59.511
- And it's like, but, but i, i remember in my 20s
- 00:21:00.512 --> 00:21:02.914
- I started being like, okay, lord, i think i know what it means to be a son.
- 00:21:02.914 --> 00:21:08.053
- Teach me how to be a prisoner.
- 00:21:08.687 --> 00:21:12.057
- And that's what was happening in my 20s.
- 00:21:12.924 --> 00:21:13.925
- Teach me how to be a prisoner.
- 00:21:13.925 --> 00:21:16.194
- And the lord started teaching me that.
- 00:21:16.194 --> 00:21:18.664
- And it was such a healthy thing.
- 00:21:18.664 --> 00:21:21.066
- And if i could say anything
- 00:21:21.066 --> 00:21:22.634
- To the younger generation, get a revelation of prisoner.
- 00:21:22.634 --> 00:21:26.204
- That's how the elite members of the body of christ talked in scripture.
- 00:21:27.606 --> 00:21:30.175
- If paul were able to walk in here, he would be saying this to you.
- 00:21:31.510 --> 00:21:33.378
- This is why i'm saying it, because but but this is what i learned.
- 00:21:33.378 --> 00:21:37.516
- This is the freedom
- 00:21:37.516 --> 00:21:39.051
- Is when you start to narrow down
- 00:21:39.685 --> 00:21:43.355
- Your choices, ends up becoming extremely liberating,
- 00:21:43.355 --> 00:21:48.727
- Because it's like you don't realize how much noise there is in your life.
- 00:21:50.128 --> 00:21:53.231
- And when you start going into this phase of christianity
- 00:21:54.366 --> 00:21:57.502
- Where you get a revelation, not a daughter or son, but a prisoner,
- 00:21:58.870 --> 00:22:01.306
- At first it hurts so bad and you're like,
- 00:22:02.174 --> 00:22:04.109
- Man, i guess this is better
- 00:22:04.109 --> 00:22:06.812
- Because i thought that porn was helping me. but.
- 00:22:06.812 --> 00:22:09.448
- But the bible says that every time
- 00:22:09.448 --> 00:22:11.216
- I commit a sexual sin, i'm committing that sin against my own body.
- 00:22:11.216 --> 00:22:14.853
- And so when i became a prisoner, i thought i lost something,
- 00:22:16.021 --> 00:22:17.789
- But i'm actually gaining health.
- 00:22:17.789 --> 00:22:21.159
- I, i you know what i'm trying to say?
- 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.295
- It's like this prisoner revelation.
- 00:22:23.295 --> 00:22:26.231
- And so we're about to do this moment.
- 00:22:26.231 --> 00:22:28.500
- And i know this is like
- 00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:30.068
- In addition to my sermon, but i was thinking about times square,
- 00:22:30.068 --> 00:22:33.872
- You know, we're going to go to times square on easter sunday.
- 00:22:35.073 --> 00:22:43.014
- Now, you know what's funny?
- 00:22:43.615 --> 00:22:45.417
- And i'm saying this off the record, is the city is so intimidated
- 00:22:45.417 --> 00:22:49.554
- By the idea of us filling up all the time square that they told me,
- 00:22:49.554 --> 00:22:53.225
- We can't even give you permission to publicly announce it
- 00:22:53.225 --> 00:22:56.528
- Until two hours before the event.
- 00:22:57.262 --> 00:22:59.898
- It's because we live in an incredibly,
- 00:23:00.699 --> 00:23:03.702
- Tumultuous time with political rivalries,
- 00:23:04.569 --> 00:23:06.905
- Religions, religious wars, and the more lead and time
- 00:23:07.973 --> 00:23:11.610
- That good people have, the more they'll gather,
- 00:23:12.544 --> 00:23:14.379
- And the more time that evil people have, they'll strategize.
- 00:23:14.379 --> 00:23:17.949
- And so the city is like, so now i have this task.
- 00:23:18.884 --> 00:23:21.887
- How do you invite everybody to the underground church of america?
- 00:23:23.221 --> 00:23:27.359
- Think about it.
- 00:23:27.726 --> 00:23:29.161
- The underground church of america.
- 00:23:29.161 --> 00:23:31.129
- We can't publicly talk about times square, but we got to still get the word out.
- 00:23:31.129 --> 00:23:34.766
- But we got to get the word out to the right people.
- 00:23:34.766 --> 00:23:36.868
- I mean, it sounds a lot like the underground church in china, right?
- 00:23:36.868 --> 00:23:40.338
- I was just meeting with members of the underground church of china last year.
- 00:23:40.338 --> 00:23:44.009
- I'm going back to meet with them again this year.
- 00:23:45.010 --> 00:23:46.278
- And i thought, wow, it's eerily similar to like,
- 00:23:46.278 --> 00:23:48.413
- We've got to get the word out, but to the right people.
- 00:23:48.413 --> 00:23:50.615
- Sounds like strategic warfare.
- 00:23:50.615 --> 00:23:53.018
- And the lord keeps telling me about times square in manhattan.
- 00:23:53.018 --> 00:23:56.555
- And i think there's this campus
- 00:23:57.189 --> 00:24:00.158
- Has a different relationship with me,
- 00:24:00.959 --> 00:24:03.228
- Because i think that this is part of the submissive will of god for my life.
- 00:24:04.763 --> 00:24:09.568
- So if you're ever like, why
- 00:24:10.168 --> 00:24:11.269
- Is this dude extra serious with me?
- 00:24:11.269 --> 00:24:14.606
- Because what?
- 00:24:14.973 --> 00:24:16.808
- As i went through this multi-year process of selling everything off
- 00:24:16.808 --> 00:24:20.512
- And becoming a prisoner, i think manhattan was my ultimate calling.
- 00:24:20.512 --> 00:24:25.150
- And because that's what the lord showed me many years ago.
- 00:24:26.318 --> 00:24:29.221
- And there's something about this campus that's very, very,
- 00:24:29.221 --> 00:24:32.991
- Very special to me.
- 00:24:33.458 --> 00:24:36.428
- And when i when we look about manhattan,
- 00:24:37.295 --> 00:24:39.297
- When we look into the times square thing,
- 00:24:39.297 --> 00:24:42.300
- The lord keeps convicting me and says, mike,
- 00:24:42.300 --> 00:24:45.637
- I have not called you to show the world
- 00:24:46.505 --> 00:24:48.273
- An audience on easter sunday,
- 00:24:48.273 --> 00:24:51.276
- I have called you to show an army in the spiritual realm
- 00:24:51.276 --> 00:24:55.514
- To where, when, satan and when every demon in brazil,
- 00:24:56.581 --> 00:24:58.817
- Every demon in canada, every demon in europe and italy, every demon
- 00:24:58.817 --> 00:25:03.255
- In asia watches the footage from times square, easter sunday.
- 00:25:03.255 --> 00:25:07.425
- In the spirit realm, they see swords and buckler
- 00:25:08.426 --> 00:25:10.896
- And shields and helmets, and they can hear the sound.
- 00:25:11.930 --> 00:25:14.766
- This is not billy graham's audience.
- 00:25:15.534 --> 00:25:17.969
- This is mike seeger rallies army.
- 00:25:18.737 --> 00:25:20.839
- It's a new day, and all of us are going to lead the lost.
- 00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:25.210
- All of us are going to fill the stadiums.
- 00:25:26.111 --> 00:25:27.579
- All of us are going to fulfill the great commission.
- 00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:30.148
- It's not a one man show. it's an army.
- 00:25:30.148 --> 00:25:33.051
- And one man has the microphone.
- 00:25:33.051 --> 00:25:35.220
- But we're all going to go in.
- 00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:37.722
- This is the burden.
- 00:25:38.189 --> 00:25:41.560
- So if you're like, why are you so intense?
- 00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:44.162
- It's because can i'm going to say this in love
- 00:25:44.162 --> 00:25:48.567
- The way apprenticeship works
- 00:25:49.167 --> 00:25:51.202
- Is my expectation is that you will do greater than me.
- 00:25:51.202 --> 00:25:55.707
- See, every generation, it goes down.
- 00:25:56.508 --> 00:25:58.343
- It's supposed to increase.
- 00:25:58.343 --> 00:26:00.245
- He's the god of abraham, isaac and jacob.
- 00:26:00.245 --> 00:26:03.748
- Oh, i don't suppose for a second that i'll be the greatest preacher
- 00:26:05.116 --> 00:26:07.752
- Of one church. i'm just the first.
- 00:26:08.520 --> 00:26:11.056
- I don't suppose for a moment i'll be the greatest demon slayer v one church.
- 00:26:12.591 --> 00:26:15.660
- I'm just the first.
- 00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:17.495
- Look at me, young man.
- 00:26:17.495 --> 00:26:19.164
- I expect more out of you.
- 00:26:19.164 --> 00:26:21.600
- Look at me, young woman.
- 00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:23.268
- I expect you to do greater.
- 00:26:23.268 --> 00:26:25.470
- I'm only here to facilitate what god has inside of you.
- 00:26:25.470 --> 00:26:29.374
- But until you go into that pit like beneath and start to learn how to win
- 00:26:30.875 --> 00:26:33.011
- The private victories, i can't march you in the times square for a public one.
- 00:26:33.011 --> 00:26:38.483
- I really
- 00:26:38.750 --> 00:26:40.151
- Want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
- 00:26:40.151 --> 00:26:42.287
- Pray about what god would have you do.
- 00:26:42.287 --> 00:26:44.756
- We don't tell people what to give.
- 00:26:44.756 --> 00:26:46.691
- What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
- 00:26:46.691 --> 00:26:51.129
- That we do around the united states and around the world.
- 00:26:51.129 --> 00:26:54.432
- Whether it's distributing the gospel
- 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.768
- In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
- 00:26:56.768 --> 00:27:00.772
- Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states,
- 00:27:02.273 --> 00:27:05.610
- Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
- 00:27:06.745 --> 00:27:12.083
- Your.
- 00:27:12.317 --> 00:27:12.317
