- the narrow way broadcast
00:00:00.227 --> 00:00:01.829
Is brought to you in part by partners
00:00:01.829 --> 00:00:03.397
Of mike signorelli ministries and viewers like you.
00:00:03.397 --> 00:00:06.867
Of mike signorelli ministries and viewers like you,
00:00:06.867 --> 00:00:07.168
- jesus was not a victim of crucifixion.
00:00:08.002 --> 00:00:11.505
What really happened was, oh, you want my cheek?
00:00:11.505 --> 00:00:14.175
Go ahead and have it. oh, you want my back? here's my back.
00:00:14.175 --> 00:00:17.978
You can't murder me because i'm being sacrificed.
00:00:17.978 --> 00:00:20.815
'cause i'm giving to you.
00:00:20.815 --> 00:00:22.216
And we make a a christianity where we portray christ
00:00:22.216 --> 00:00:25.519
As a victim 'cause we feel like a victim.
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.688
It was the opposite. he was saying, i am not your victim.
00:00:27.688 --> 00:00:31.459
I am the sacrifice.
00:00:31.459 --> 00:00:33.994
- hey, this is mike signorelli with the narrow way.
00:00:33.994 --> 00:00:36.764
And i've got some crazy testimonies to tell you.
00:00:36.764 --> 00:00:39.100
So first of all, my team just let me know
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.402
That we had people reaching out saying that they decided not
00:00:41.402 --> 00:00:44.672
To end their life as a result of the message.
00:00:44.672 --> 00:00:47.741
They heard the sermon and they made a decision also.
00:00:47.741 --> 00:00:51.912
This is crazy, but i know you believe it.
00:00:51.912 --> 00:00:54.081
God is still a supernatural god who answers prayers.
00:00:54.081 --> 00:00:58.018
And we have prayer team members that have been praying
00:00:58.018 --> 00:01:00.354
For people on the phone lines.
00:01:00.354 --> 00:01:01.922
And we've gotten reports of medically verifiable miracles.
00:01:01.922 --> 00:01:05.192
We've been encouraging people go back to the doctor,
00:01:05.192 --> 00:01:07.428
Get the results like we believe.
00:01:07.428 --> 00:01:09.363
Yes, we believe in medicine,
00:01:09.363 --> 00:01:11.098
But also we believe that it will be confirmed what god did.
00:01:11.098 --> 00:01:15.069
And so those reports are coming in,
00:01:15.069 --> 00:01:17.037
But i wanted to sincerely thank each and every one of you.
00:01:17.037 --> 00:01:19.573
It's actually because of your support that we're able
00:01:19.573 --> 00:01:22.510
To get these messages out.
00:01:22.510 --> 00:01:24.211
So because you're a partner, we pray for you.
00:01:24.211 --> 00:01:27.348
I mean, as a matter of fact, we wanna pray for you today,
00:01:27.348 --> 00:01:30.918
But specifically continue your support
00:01:30.918 --> 00:01:34.088
Because i believe that we've only just begun.
00:01:34.088 --> 00:01:36.757
How many of you believe
00:01:36.757 --> 00:01:38.058
That we're gonna see god do even greater things
00:01:38.058 --> 00:01:40.394
As we continue with the narrow way?
00:01:40.394 --> 00:01:42.997
So let's jump into this week's message.
00:01:42.997 --> 00:01:45.432
This path is already narrow and we will forge forward.
00:01:46.534 --> 00:01:49.603
Making no excuse
00:01:49.603 --> 00:01:51.105
For why we can live uncompromised in this generation.
00:01:51.105 --> 00:01:54.508
- lock in, give me a hundred people who will walk
00:01:54.508 --> 00:01:58.379
That narrow road
00:01:58.379 --> 00:01:59.813
And say, i may have some things in my family,
00:01:59.813 --> 00:02:02.983
But i where it runs out.
00:02:02.983 --> 00:02:06.720
How many victims do we have in this church?
00:02:07.621 --> 00:02:11.058
Well, mike, i would be normal if i didn't have
00:02:11.959 --> 00:02:14.094
Abusive stepparents.
00:02:14.094 --> 00:02:15.930
How many victims? well, mike,
00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:18.098
I would volunteer at the church if the other
00:02:18.098 --> 00:02:19.867
Church didn't hurt me.
00:02:19.867 --> 00:02:21.302
How many victims?
00:02:21.302 --> 00:02:22.970
Oh, mike, you know, i would give, if, if,
00:02:22.970 --> 00:02:24.872
If the church didn't only want my money, oh, oh.
00:02:24.872 --> 00:02:28.742
You know, i would ask somebody on a, on a date,
00:02:28.742 --> 00:02:31.245
But i've been in some bad relationships.
00:02:31.245 --> 00:02:33.214
How many victims do we have in this church?
00:02:33.214 --> 00:02:35.049
I'm looking for victims right now. see, here's the thing.
00:02:35.049 --> 00:02:40.421
Jesus was not a victim.
00:02:40.921 --> 00:02:42.723
Jesus said, you can't kill me because i offer my life.
00:02:43.824 --> 00:02:47.328
You can't steal from somebody who gives freely you.
00:02:47.328 --> 00:02:51.932
You understand what i'm saying?
00:02:51.932 --> 00:02:53.267
And, and i think for us, we need
00:02:53.267 --> 00:02:54.568
To get out of the victim seat.
00:02:54.568 --> 00:02:56.670
Listen, when i, that other church, they did abuse me.
00:02:56.670 --> 00:02:59.840
But guess what? when i was serving them,
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.475
I was never serving them.
00:03:01.475 --> 00:03:02.843
The bible says that when i gave it was as if i gave
00:03:02.843 --> 00:03:05.045
To christ himself.
00:03:05.045 --> 00:03:06.413
Hey, let's talk about the money.
00:03:06.413 --> 00:03:08.282
They may have misused the money, but i didn't mishandle it.
00:03:08.282 --> 00:03:11.785
My job was to sow. their job was to steward.
00:03:11.785 --> 00:03:15.256
I ain't got no problem.
00:03:15.256 --> 00:03:16.824
I gave that money to the feet of jesus and they messed up.
00:03:16.824 --> 00:03:20.327
But i didn't mess up. i'm not a victim.
00:03:20.327 --> 00:03:24.031
Come on, some people might have messed me up.
00:03:24.031 --> 00:03:26.867
Listen, let me talk to the single people.
00:03:26.867 --> 00:03:28.969
That relationship didn't work out.
00:03:28.969 --> 00:03:30.671
But thank god because he just prepared you for a mate.
00:03:30.671 --> 00:03:34.675
And oh, come on.
00:03:34.675 --> 00:03:36.377
Sometimes a hookup doesn't work out
00:03:37.111 --> 00:03:38.979
Because he's trying to make you ready to get married.
00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:41.682
See god, thank god. but you can't take nothing from me.
00:03:42.816 --> 00:03:46.220
Oh, those people used me. did they?
00:03:46.220 --> 00:03:49.723
Did they? how could you use somebody who's
00:03:50.624 --> 00:03:53.460
Offering it freely?
00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:55.796
Come on this. i'm not a victim.
00:03:56.430 --> 00:03:58.399
The the anointing that you fill on this message is from 25
00:03:59.533 --> 00:04:02.703
Years of me being trapped in victim mentalities.
00:04:02.703 --> 00:04:05.572
And when i looked at these scriptures we're looking at now,
00:04:06.707 --> 00:04:09.009
When i looked at these scriptures we're looking at
00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:10.911
Now, it clicked.
00:04:10.911 --> 00:04:13.147
Jesus wasn't murdered. he was sacrificed.
00:04:13.147 --> 00:04:17.117
He offered himself up.
00:04:17.618 --> 00:04:19.586
How are we supposed to live our life as a living?
00:04:19.586 --> 00:04:23.557
Oh, you're about to get it. you're about to get it.
00:04:24.591 --> 00:04:27.027
You're about to get it, as a living what, sacrifice
00:04:27.027 --> 00:04:29.930
As a living sacrifice. come on, go ahead and use me.
00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:33.100
Eat all the fruit off of my tree.
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:35.369
'cause i'm gonna keep growing fruit.
00:04:35.369 --> 00:04:37.404
And every season i'm gonna feed you
00:04:37.404 --> 00:04:40.107
And your children and your children.
00:04:40.107 --> 00:04:42.276
You take whatever you need.
00:04:42.276 --> 00:04:44.111
'cause i've been growing fruit, love, pace, peace, patience,
00:04:44.111 --> 00:04:47.848
Kindness, long stuff.
00:04:47.848 --> 00:04:49.917
Oh come on. eat whatever you need.
00:04:49.917 --> 00:04:52.186
You can't use me because i'm a tree.
00:04:52.186 --> 00:04:55.055
You can't use me 'cause i'm a tree. eat whatever you need.
00:04:55.055 --> 00:04:59.393
Come on. i'm living my life as a sacrifice.
00:04:59.393 --> 00:05:02.663
Somebody shouting to god if you believe it.
00:05:02.663 --> 00:05:06.100
Hallelujah. i to preach myself freed up here.
00:05:07.034 --> 00:05:11.004
So luke chapter nine, verse 51.
00:05:11.638 --> 00:05:14.808
It was not written in a vacuum.
00:05:14.808 --> 00:05:17.878
So luke is writing under the inspiration of the holy spirit
00:05:17.878 --> 00:05:21.949
And deliberately echoes a prophecy written nearly 800 years
00:05:21.949 --> 00:05:26.186
Earlier by the prophet isaiah.
00:05:26.186 --> 00:05:28.455
So the bible talks to itself, itself references
00:05:28.455 --> 00:05:31.759
And confirms itself.
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.793
Biblical prophecy is one
00:05:32.793 --> 00:05:34.561
Of the reasons why i went from atheism
00:05:34.561 --> 00:05:36.597
To a born again believer.
00:05:36.597 --> 00:05:38.665
Because the bible confirms itself.
00:05:38.665 --> 00:05:40.601
So in isaiah chapter 50, verse seven, it says,
00:05:40.601 --> 00:05:43.570
But the lord god helps me.
00:05:43.570 --> 00:05:46.173
Therefore i have not been disgraced.
00:05:46.173 --> 00:05:48.942
Therefore i have set my face like flint
00:05:48.942 --> 00:05:51.645
And i know that i will not be put to shame.
00:05:51.645 --> 00:05:55.349
So do you see it?
00:05:55.349 --> 00:05:56.617
So luke says he set his face, isaiah prophesied,
00:05:56.617 --> 00:06:00.988
I have set my face like flint and the verse just before it.
00:06:00.988 --> 00:06:04.591
And isaiah 50 verse six tells you
00:06:04.591 --> 00:06:06.760
That the servant is literally walking into this scene.
00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:10.531
I'm gonna read it to you. i offered my back
00:06:10.531 --> 00:06:13.233
To those who beat me.
00:06:13.233 --> 00:06:16.437
I offered my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard.
00:06:17.471 --> 00:06:21.475
And i did not hide my face from mocking and spitting.
00:06:21.475 --> 00:06:25.379
This redefines your entire perspective.
00:06:26.246 --> 00:06:28.782
When you watch the mel gibson version, it's
00:06:28.782 --> 00:06:31.552
As if jesus has no control.
00:06:31.552 --> 00:06:33.520
What really happened was, oh, you want my cheek?
00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:36.223
Go ahead and have it. oh, you want my back? here's my back.
00:06:36.223 --> 00:06:39.993
You can't murder me because i'm being sacrificed.
00:06:39.993 --> 00:06:42.863
'cause i'm giving to you.
00:06:42.863 --> 00:06:44.198
Jesus was not a victim of crucifixion.
00:06:44.198 --> 00:06:48.135
And this is why, the only reason why we would make movies
00:06:49.269 --> 00:06:52.372
That depict him as a victim is
00:06:52.372 --> 00:06:54.074
Because the producers think that they're victims.
00:06:54.074 --> 00:06:57.978
And we make a a christianity
00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:00.647
Where we portray christ as a victim.
00:07:00.647 --> 00:07:02.583
'cause we feel like a victim. it was the opposite.
00:07:02.583 --> 00:07:05.352
He was saying, i am not your victim. i am the sacrifice.
00:07:05.352 --> 00:07:10.791
I was a victim in my marriage.
00:07:11.425 --> 00:07:14.094
No, i offered you the best love i had.
00:07:14.094 --> 00:07:17.831
And you just couldn't recognize what you had
00:07:18.765 --> 00:07:20.400
Until it was too late and maybe somebody else will.
00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:24.771
God's trying to break a victim mindset
00:07:24.771 --> 00:07:26.473
Off of the body of christ.
00:07:26.473 --> 00:07:27.774
Right now there's a major victim mentality
00:07:27.774 --> 00:07:32.846
In the body of christ and the lord's trying to break it off
00:07:34.047 --> 00:07:35.215
Because no, we offered it.
00:07:35.215 --> 00:07:36.950
Now this is even crazier.
00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:39.653
Jesus wrote, read these words and he,
00:07:39.653 --> 00:07:41.955
And he basically steps into him and he doesn't even flinch.
00:07:41.955 --> 00:07:45.659
So flint. now what does this mean? i set my face as flint.
00:07:45.659 --> 00:07:50.564
So flint is a rock that is so hard
00:07:50.564 --> 00:07:54.067
That actually it retains its edge even
00:07:54.902 --> 00:07:57.905
After it's been repeatedly struck.
00:07:57.905 --> 00:08:00.440
So when you look at the archeological discoveries
00:08:01.441 --> 00:08:03.677
That are connected to this
00:08:03.677 --> 00:08:05.212
And you go to like the jordan valley, for example, and,
00:08:05.212 --> 00:08:08.248
And you uncover ancient flint knives
00:08:08.248 --> 00:08:11.151
That were used in like military combat, for example,
00:08:11.151 --> 00:08:14.221
The blades, they kept cutting even
00:08:14.221 --> 00:08:16.823
After being struck again and again.
00:08:16.823 --> 00:08:19.626
This is the metaphor that the holy spirit chooses
00:08:19.626 --> 00:08:23.664
To divinely use in scripture.
00:08:23.664 --> 00:08:26.033
That jesus looks to jerusalem
00:08:26.033 --> 00:08:28.969
And he sets his face like a flint.
00:08:28.969 --> 00:08:31.872
He sets his face like a rock that keeps its edge
00:08:32.839 --> 00:08:37.878
And it stays sharp even though it receives multiple blows.
00:08:39.046 --> 00:08:41.381
So come on somebody. ah, y'all hear what i'm saying?
00:08:41.381 --> 00:08:45.586
Okay, come on. you can talk about me.
00:08:45.586 --> 00:08:48.755
You can walk out on me, you can reject me.
00:08:48.755 --> 00:08:52.426
You can gossip about, oh, come on someone. you can do what?
00:08:52.426 --> 00:08:55.696
You can leave me high and dry.
00:08:55.696 --> 00:08:57.564
The only thing you can't do is dull me down.
00:08:57.564 --> 00:09:01.335
I'm never losing my edge because i am like a flint.
00:09:01.335 --> 00:09:05.839
And no matter how many blows i take, you don't dull me down.
00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:10.077
You can't take my fire of the holy ghost.
00:09:10.077 --> 00:09:13.013
No matter how much you tell me you don't like the church,
00:09:13.013 --> 00:09:16.049
You can't stop my worship.
00:09:16.049 --> 00:09:17.985
No matter how much it disrupts the demons that are in you.
00:09:17.985 --> 00:09:21.755
You can't stop this.
00:09:21.755 --> 00:09:23.223
I made a decision to set my face like a flint.
00:09:23.223 --> 00:09:26.927
And no matter how many blows i take,
00:09:26.927 --> 00:09:29.162
I'm gonna be sharp over here.
00:09:29.162 --> 00:09:31.832
Hallelujah. oh, you want me to turn it down?
00:09:32.733 --> 00:09:36.770
Devil, how about we turn it up? oh, come on.
00:09:36.770 --> 00:09:41.041
You don't like the way i'm dancing?
00:09:41.041 --> 00:09:43.176
Well, i feel a dance coming on right now.
00:09:43.176 --> 00:09:45.946
You know david dance. i'm gonna dance.
00:09:45.946 --> 00:09:50.517
- i would love to meet you in person as we retrace the steps
00:09:51.718 --> 00:09:55.722
Of the apostle paul on an unforgettable journey
00:09:55.722 --> 00:09:59.059
Through greece and turkey.
00:09:59.059 --> 00:10:00.761
It's gonna be a five star experience
00:10:00.761 --> 00:10:03.130
With not only incredible hotels, but also a cruise.
00:10:03.130 --> 00:10:06.867
And we're gonna go to the very places
00:10:06.867 --> 00:10:08.869
That scripture was written, including patmos, where the book
00:10:08.869 --> 00:10:12.472
Of revelation was written by john.
00:10:12.472 --> 00:10:14.975
I cannot wait to meet you in person, but seats are limited,
00:10:14.975 --> 00:10:18.812
Although they're still available.
00:10:18.812 --> 00:10:20.681
So you have to make the decision now.
00:10:20.681 --> 00:10:23.183
The information's here on the screen.
00:10:23.183 --> 00:10:25.152
Go ahead and take advantage of an experience
00:10:25.152 --> 00:10:28.021
That will last a lifetime.
00:10:28.021 --> 00:10:29.890
I wanna pray with you at these locations
00:10:29.890 --> 00:10:32.292
As we invite the presence of the holy spirit.
00:10:32.292 --> 00:10:34.995
I want to teach you exactly what was happening in culture
00:10:34.995 --> 00:10:38.365
As the scriptures were written.
00:10:38.365 --> 00:10:40.100
I wanna have some incredible meals together with you.
00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:43.470
It's going to be amazing.
00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:45.605
But i need you to make that decision now
00:10:45.605 --> 00:10:47.574
Before all of the seats are gone.
00:10:47.574 --> 00:10:50.410
It's gonna be amazing and i can't wait to meet you.
00:10:50.410 --> 00:10:53.547
Go ahead, make that decision to retrace the steps
00:10:53.547 --> 00:10:57.417
Of the apostle paul with mike signorelli on tour.
00:10:57.417 --> 00:11:00.987
Can't wait to see you there.
00:11:00.987 --> 00:11:03.890
- see who was disturbed by david's dance?
00:11:04.758 --> 00:11:08.795
You gotta understand who is disturbed by david's dance.
00:11:09.930 --> 00:11:14.367
Come on, there's gonna, how you know that you're in an act
00:11:14.367 --> 00:11:18.305
Of unadulterated obedience to god is you are gonna start
00:11:18.305 --> 00:11:21.975
To get enemies by becoming a friend of jesus.
00:11:21.975 --> 00:11:26.747
If they're not disturbed by your worship,
00:11:27.547 --> 00:11:29.750
You probably ain't worshiping the way he's
00:11:29.750 --> 00:11:31.885
Calling you to worship.
00:11:31.885 --> 00:11:33.587
If they're not, oh, come on.
00:11:33.587 --> 00:11:35.322
What do you mean you're gonna go all the way across the
00:11:35.322 --> 00:11:37.858
Country to that breaker's conference?
00:11:37.858 --> 00:11:40.494
What do you mean? it's like what?
00:11:40.494 --> 00:11:42.095
You didn't have a problem with us going all across the world
00:11:42.095 --> 00:11:45.031
To the dominican republic and drinking all day and night.
00:11:45.031 --> 00:11:48.535
You didn't have a problem when i gave my body in
00:11:48.535 --> 00:11:51.204
That nightclub and you didn't even know where i was at.
00:11:51.204 --> 00:11:53.940
You didn't have a problem with when i ruined my life.
00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:56.843
But when the lord began to build me up, you got a problem.
00:11:56.843 --> 00:11:59.946
You wanna go on your sin vacations,
00:11:59.946 --> 00:12:01.948
But you're mad at me going on a salvation vacation.
00:12:01.948 --> 00:12:05.085
Come on. i can spend my money however i want to.
00:12:05.085 --> 00:12:08.255
I'll do whatever i want to do. i'm grown and you're grown.
00:12:08.255 --> 00:12:11.458
If you wanna spend your money for a ticket
00:12:11.458 --> 00:12:13.460
To hell, go for it.
00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:14.828
But i made up my mind to set my face like a flint.
00:12:14.828 --> 00:12:18.398
I'm gonna go to jerusalem.
00:12:18.398 --> 00:12:20.233
I'm gonna do what god called me to do.
00:12:20.233 --> 00:12:22.469
Don't tell me how to come on jezebel,
00:12:22.469 --> 00:12:31.144
The reason why i'm preaching,
00:12:31.778 --> 00:12:32.813
You think this is emotionalism.
00:12:32.813 --> 00:12:34.848
This is the bare minimum of what jesus was doing on the
00:12:34.848 --> 00:12:38.885
Inside of him to ready himself for the cross,
00:12:38.885 --> 00:12:42.622
The warfare that was happening.
00:12:43.256 --> 00:12:44.958
You understand jesus was a hundred percent man
00:12:44.958 --> 00:12:47.460
And a hundred percent god.
00:12:47.460 --> 00:12:48.762
So that biological part
00:12:48.762 --> 00:12:50.330
Of him was fighting harder than you've ever been
00:12:50.330 --> 00:12:52.299
Fought in your flesh.
00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.600
You think your hormones are off.
00:12:54.234 --> 00:12:56.236
Jesus was, i mean, tell he suffered in every way you think,
00:12:56.236 --> 00:13:00.207
You deal with depression
00:13:00.207 --> 00:13:01.875
And discourage, jesus suffered in every the war.
00:13:01.875 --> 00:13:04.444
And that attitude i'm giving you is,
00:13:04.444 --> 00:13:06.613
Is when i'm a faithful witness to the scriptures.
00:13:06.613 --> 00:13:10.116
When i'm a faithful witness, when i'm a stu, a student
00:13:10.116 --> 00:13:13.420
Of these scriptures, this is what i believe he set.
00:13:13.420 --> 00:13:17.257
It's, this is what when you, when you read the text,
00:13:18.325 --> 00:13:20.493
I set my face like a flint.
00:13:20.493 --> 00:13:22.295
Imagine getting ready to go into work tomorrow.
00:13:22.295 --> 00:13:24.898
I'm not bending my knee to the spirit in this workplace.
00:13:26.032 --> 00:13:28.735
I don't care what happens. i'm not gonna compromise.
00:13:28.735 --> 00:13:31.738
I'm not backing up. i'm not.
00:13:31.738 --> 00:13:33.673
Listen, if they can get loud about their sin,
00:13:33.673 --> 00:13:35.742
I'm gonna get loud about my savior.
00:13:35.742 --> 00:13:37.644
I'm setting my face like a flint.
00:13:37.644 --> 00:13:39.145
I'm not gonna take it anymore.
00:13:39.145 --> 00:13:40.714
They're not gonna shut me up
00:13:40.714 --> 00:13:42.215
And silence me if everybody else can have an opinion.
00:13:42.215 --> 00:13:44.784
I can have the truth. i know what i stand for.
00:13:44.784 --> 00:13:47.420
See, it's like it's, this is the attitude. are you with me?
00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:50.156
Yeah. i set my face like a flint.
00:13:50.156 --> 00:13:54.494
You know, with mamdani here, you know,
00:13:55.328 --> 00:13:59.466
Rents are probably gonna go high
00:13:59.466 --> 00:14:00.934
And new york city is probably not safe.
00:14:00.934 --> 00:14:03.670
Ah, i set my face like a flint.
00:14:03.670 --> 00:14:07.641
I'm going to times square.
00:14:07.641 --> 00:14:09.542
We're gonna have that whole place filled
00:14:09.542 --> 00:14:11.144
With christians and i don't care.
00:14:11.144 --> 00:14:13.513
Listen, i'm
00:14:13.513 --> 00:14:17.617
Going to jerusalem.
00:14:17.617 --> 00:14:19.286
I made up my mind. i'm gonna represent jesus.
00:14:19.286 --> 00:14:23.256
I don't care if it's a muslim, i don't care if it's a hindu.
00:14:23.256 --> 00:14:26.726
I'm a christian.
00:14:26.726 --> 00:14:28.295
There's this, there's a rem in new york city.
00:14:28.295 --> 00:14:30.597
I said, ah, i'm not leaving
00:14:30.597 --> 00:14:34.834
Digging my heels in.
00:14:35.302 --> 00:14:37.704
I set my face like a flint.
00:14:37.704 --> 00:14:40.774
Ah, when you find out your kids are drinking,
00:14:40.774 --> 00:14:45.045
Your kids are smoking, your kids are acting crazy.
00:14:45.045 --> 00:14:48.014
You, you set your face like a flint.
00:14:48.014 --> 00:14:50.483
Listen, this is a christian house.
00:14:50.483 --> 00:14:53.186
You're gonna go to church if i pay the bills to this house.
00:14:53.186 --> 00:14:56.323
And i don't care if you like church or not,
00:14:56.323 --> 00:14:58.658
But it's for your soul.
00:14:58.658 --> 00:15:00.193
And you begin to minister to your family. i'm, i'm not.
00:15:00.193 --> 00:15:02.429
I've set my face towards jerusalem.
00:15:02.429 --> 00:15:04.597
I know how this story ends. you don't like it, move out.
00:15:04.597 --> 00:15:08.535
But as for me, in my house,
00:15:08.535 --> 00:15:14.140
As for me in my house, devil's like, what's going on?
00:15:15.208 --> 00:15:16.676
I thought i discouraged them. oh no, i'm just warming up.
00:15:16.676 --> 00:15:19.512
'cause i'm getting ready to run, rush shot all over you.
00:15:19.512 --> 00:15:22.415
I'm not backing down.
00:15:22.415 --> 00:15:23.750
I already know i am the hunter, not the hunter.
00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:26.553
I am the predator, not the prey.
00:15:26.553 --> 00:15:28.722
See, jesus was not just the lamb, he was the lion.
00:15:28.722 --> 00:15:33.059
And when he offered his life, he said,
00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:35.328
I'm gonna give you my life.
00:15:35.328 --> 00:15:36.863
'cause the next time you see me, i'm gonna have a sword.
00:15:36.863 --> 00:15:39.899
The next time you see me, i'm not gonna be like this.
00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:42.936
And i gotta encourage somebody. you are not the victim.
00:15:42.936 --> 00:15:46.406
You are the lamb that dies and becomes like the lion.
00:15:46.406 --> 00:15:52.512
That's the word of god. that's the word of god.
00:15:53.446 --> 00:15:57.717
And that's the thing, when you understand god's hierarchy,
00:15:58.885 --> 00:16:02.489
When you understand god's control,
00:16:02.489 --> 00:16:05.158
You're not worried about anything
00:16:05.158 --> 00:16:06.993
Because you're like, wait a second,
00:16:06.993 --> 00:16:09.396
You don't even have the power to stop me
00:16:09.396 --> 00:16:12.298
Because i'm divine in god's hand.
00:16:12.298 --> 00:16:14.134
Like, you can't stop me because you didn't start me.
00:16:14.134 --> 00:16:17.470
Matter of fact, for those of us who are real bad, i know
00:16:18.605 --> 00:16:21.908
That you can't stop me 'cause i couldn't stop me.
00:16:21.908 --> 00:16:31.384
Did nobody try harder?
00:16:31.885 --> 00:16:33.620
That's why, oh, mike, are you worried they're canceling?
00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:36.089
Oh, no, no. i canceled myself a long time ago.
00:16:36.089 --> 00:16:39.826
I i they're not gonna succeed where i failed.
00:16:39.826 --> 00:16:42.562
I tried to stop myself.
00:16:42.562 --> 00:16:44.164
And the lord said, no, mike, i got a plan
00:16:44.164 --> 00:16:46.433
For you in jerusalem.
00:16:46.433 --> 00:16:47.667
Set your face like a flint.
00:16:47.667 --> 00:16:49.436
You're going back, you're going back.
00:16:49.436 --> 00:16:51.237
I'm sending you to jerusalem. and i'm here to tell somebody.
00:16:51.237 --> 00:16:54.274
You remember i started this sermon
00:16:54.274 --> 00:16:56.042
With saying god told you to do something.
00:16:56.042 --> 00:16:58.578
Remember, you set your face like a flint
00:16:58.578 --> 00:17:02.015
And you say, god, i'm gonna do it.
00:17:02.015 --> 00:17:03.817
I'm going to jerusalem now.
00:17:03.817 --> 00:17:05.418
And when you surrender the story of this church,
00:17:05.418 --> 00:17:07.687
Julie was me trying to not go to jerusalem.
00:17:07.687 --> 00:17:11.524
And julie put her hand on my shoulder like the
00:17:12.425 --> 00:17:13.927
Documentary moment.
00:17:13.927 --> 00:17:15.528
No babe, we're going to jerusalem. i said, no, we're not.
00:17:15.528 --> 00:17:19.499
Because julie couldn't make the decision for me.
00:17:20.467 --> 00:17:24.037
I had to make it for me.
00:17:24.537 --> 00:17:26.139
So jesus, the test he was facing was he had
00:17:27.073 --> 00:17:31.077
To make the decision.
00:17:31.077 --> 00:17:32.679
That's why it became redemptive.
00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:35.014
If he was forced, there's no redemption.
00:17:35.014 --> 00:17:38.952
But if he willfully does it, it becomes redemptive.
00:17:38.952 --> 00:17:42.822
You have to willfully choose to forgive.
00:17:42.822 --> 00:17:45.558
You have to willfully choose to redeem. you can't be forced.
00:17:45.558 --> 00:17:49.596
There's redemption in this.
00:17:49.596 --> 00:17:52.532
Luke, in chapter nine, verse 51, jesus is healing the sick.
00:17:52.532 --> 00:17:56.769
He's casting out demons. he's feeding 5,000.
00:17:56.769 --> 00:17:59.105
He's calming storms. we've talked about those things.
00:17:59.105 --> 00:18:01.541
But then after luke chapter nine, verse 51,
00:18:01.541 --> 00:18:04.577
The narrative changes.
00:18:04.577 --> 00:18:06.746
The miracles continue. but now there's a new direction.
00:18:06.746 --> 00:18:10.884
There's this heavy weight.
00:18:10.884 --> 00:18:12.652
Jesus begins moving deliberately towards jerusalem.
00:18:12.652 --> 00:18:16.055
- most people follow jesus without really knowing
00:18:16.055 --> 00:18:18.691
Where he went or why every place he walked was chosen.
00:18:18.691 --> 00:18:23.196
Every confrontation was intentional.
00:18:23.196 --> 00:18:25.698
Every step was advancing the kingdom of god.
00:18:25.698 --> 00:18:28.635
And he's inviting you to walk the same way.
00:18:28.635 --> 00:18:31.871
Not in confusion, not walking in fear,
00:18:31.871 --> 00:18:35.074
But walking in true authority journey with jesus walks you
00:18:35.074 --> 00:18:39.846
Through every step of jesus' ministry.
00:18:39.846 --> 00:18:42.815
Not just as history, but as a map for your life right now.
00:18:42.815 --> 00:18:46.486
So get your copy at the link on your screen
00:18:46.486 --> 00:18:48.855
Because followers of jesus don't wander.
00:18:48.855 --> 00:18:52.091
They actually advance.
00:18:52.091 --> 00:18:53.693
This is your time to take your next step in discipleship.
00:18:53.693 --> 00:18:57.163
Get the book now.
00:18:57.163 --> 00:18:59.632
- and that's, that's the journey we're gonna take
00:19:00.567 --> 00:19:02.435
Over the next couple of weeks.
00:19:02.435 --> 00:19:03.603
The journey towards jerusalem. why?
00:19:03.603 --> 00:19:05.905
Because jerusalem is where three things are gonna happen.
00:19:05.905 --> 00:19:09.008
The cross, the resurrection
00:19:09.609 --> 00:19:12.579
And the birth, the cross,
00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:15.648
The resurrection and the birth.
00:19:15.648 --> 00:19:18.151
The birth of what the church,
00:19:18.151 --> 00:19:21.821
Mike, the lord told me to write a book.
00:19:22.689 --> 00:19:25.925
Go die on the cross, then you'll experience a resurrection.
00:19:25.925 --> 00:19:29.963
And then your book will be birthed.
00:19:29.963 --> 00:19:31.798
Mike, the lord told me to start a business, go die to self,
00:19:32.966 --> 00:19:36.302
Then you'll experience a resurrection
00:19:36.302 --> 00:19:38.104
And then your business will be birthed.
00:19:38.104 --> 00:19:40.206
Anything birthed without experiencing death first will die.
00:19:40.206 --> 00:19:45.778
Are you following me? yes.
00:19:46.346 --> 00:19:48.047
So the lord says to abram, hey, you know sarah,
00:19:48.047 --> 00:19:51.484
Your old crusty dusty wife that come on.
00:19:51.484 --> 00:19:55.221
I just wanted to defend the women.
00:19:55.221 --> 00:19:56.656
I don't know why i did that. the women were like,
00:19:56.656 --> 00:19:59.525
Ain't my preacher no more.
00:19:59.525 --> 00:20:01.861
But listen, yeah, the the the the, you know, your old wife,
00:20:03.062 --> 00:20:06.399
Your wife that can't is beyond ability to birth.
00:20:06.399 --> 00:20:10.303
She's gonna be the one to birth.
00:20:10.303 --> 00:20:11.671
So this requires death to abraham. death of what?
00:20:11.671 --> 00:20:15.541
The natural mind. this is it.
00:20:15.541 --> 00:20:19.245
Death of the natural mind.
00:20:19.245 --> 00:20:20.680
So when god tells you write a book,
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.982
The death is the death of the natural mind.
00:20:22.982 --> 00:20:25.184
'cause your natural mind says, i can't write a book.
00:20:25.184 --> 00:20:27.553
Well, the lord knew you couldn't do it when he asked you,
00:20:27.553 --> 00:20:29.656
You're missing the whole point.
00:20:29.656 --> 00:20:31.424
It's like telling abraham
00:20:31.424 --> 00:20:32.692
And sarah, you're gonna have a kid that,
00:20:32.692 --> 00:20:34.794
And you're gonna be become the father of a nation
00:20:34.794 --> 00:20:36.696
Beyond your birthing years.
00:20:36.696 --> 00:20:38.498
It was like the lord knew it was impossible when
00:20:38.498 --> 00:20:41.100
He told you.
00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:42.702
So. the death is the death of your mind, the death
00:20:42.702 --> 00:20:47.140
Of your emotions.
00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:49.776
This is the death.
00:20:50.209 --> 00:20:52.011
So then abraham, who's like all of us, doesn't want to die.
00:20:52.011 --> 00:20:56.616
So he concocts a plan of compromise
00:20:57.350 --> 00:21:00.420
And has a baby with a servant woman.
00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:02.989
And it becomes ishmael, which then becomes the a,
00:21:02.989 --> 00:21:05.958
A false father, the father of islam,
00:21:05.958 --> 00:21:09.128
That christianity is still fighting and, and the,
00:21:09.128 --> 00:21:12.065
And israel still fighting to this day.
00:21:12.065 --> 00:21:14.233
One man's compromise became a multi-generational conflict.
00:21:14.233 --> 00:21:19.939
So when god calls you to do something,
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:23.710
There's a purity in saying, lord, i know this is impossible.
00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:28.281
That's probably why you asked me to do it.
00:21:28.281 --> 00:21:30.516
But the death that i'm willing to experience is death
00:21:30.516 --> 00:21:33.119
To my own intellect, death to my own emotions.
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.123
And lord, i'm just gonna agree with you.
00:21:37.123 --> 00:21:39.959
I'm just gonna agree with you.
00:21:39.959 --> 00:21:41.961
And then when you do that, the promise is birthed.
00:21:41.961 --> 00:21:45.398
And so this is what i'm asking for you through,
00:21:46.332 --> 00:21:48.201
Through the lord right now is will you finally come into
00:21:48.201 --> 00:21:51.804
Agreement with the impossible?
00:21:51.804 --> 00:21:55.508
Lord, there's no way my son, my daughter is gonna be saved
00:21:56.676 --> 00:22:01.247
And serving you.
00:22:01.247 --> 00:22:02.648
It's impossible.
00:22:02.648 --> 00:22:04.050
And the lord's like, yes, i know,
00:22:04.050 --> 00:22:06.119
But for with me, oh, come on.
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.388
That's the part of the equation. lord, i know my spouse.
00:22:09.489 --> 00:22:12.024
There's no way my spouse is ever gonna serve you.
00:22:12.024 --> 00:22:14.527
And there we're always fighting.
00:22:14.527 --> 00:22:15.862
But i, i, i just, i know you've given me
00:22:15.862 --> 00:22:17.864
Prophecies and promise.
00:22:17.864 --> 00:22:19.132
Yes, i know it's impossible,
00:22:19.132 --> 00:22:21.300
But for with me,
00:22:21.300 --> 00:22:22.869
All things are possible.
00:22:22.869 --> 00:22:26.939
Faith. for without faith, it is impossible to please god.
00:22:28.074 --> 00:22:32.512
The impossibility is not the promise,
00:22:32.512 --> 00:22:35.481
It's the lack of faith.
00:22:35.481 --> 00:22:37.016
For with i'm talking to somebody, do you feel this?
00:22:38.050 --> 00:22:42.255
It's time to operate in faith.
00:22:42.255 --> 00:22:44.290
Faith, faith speaks in fear jumps.
00:22:44.290 --> 00:22:47.393
Faith is the evidence that things hope
00:22:47.393 --> 00:22:49.195
For in this substance of things not seen.
00:22:49.195 --> 00:22:51.330
I preached in this building a thousand times
00:22:51.330 --> 00:22:53.666
Before i bought it because by faith i was already in it.
00:22:53.666 --> 00:22:57.136
See, by faith i begin to speak it.
00:22:57.136 --> 00:22:59.238
I preached the stadium a thousand times before we rented it
00:22:59.238 --> 00:23:02.608
Because by faith i was in the stadium.
00:23:02.608 --> 00:23:04.811
By faith, i'm already in times square. can you feel it?
00:23:04.811 --> 00:23:07.680
By faith, by faith, by faith god,
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:10.082
I set my faith like a flint.
00:23:10.082 --> 00:23:12.151
And by faith i'm going to jerusalem.
00:23:12.151 --> 00:23:14.554
And when i die, there will be a resurrection.
00:23:14.554 --> 00:23:17.790
But after the resurrection, there will be a birth
00:23:17.790 --> 00:23:20.893
And that thing will be eternal.
00:23:20.893 --> 00:23:23.596
Somebody jump to your feet and give god a 30 second praise break.
00:23:24.931 --> 00:23:29.368
If you're ready to go oh
00:23:29.368 --> 00:23:32.104
The way, hallelujah.
00:23:32.572 --> 00:23:38.711
- in a few moments, i wanna pray for you.
00:23:39.612 --> 00:23:41.714
You know, i've seen medically verifiable
00:23:41.714 --> 00:23:43.716
Miracles all around the world.
00:23:43.716 --> 00:23:45.551
I wanna pray for you. i,
00:23:45.551 --> 00:23:47.253
I've actually seen people delivered from demons in moments.
00:23:47.253 --> 00:23:50.189
But the greatest miracle is salvation.
00:23:50.189 --> 00:23:52.592
It's when someone who's dead in their sin, literally headed
00:23:52.592 --> 00:23:55.995
To hell, is saved by jesus christ and made to be alive
00:23:55.995 --> 00:24:00.366
And headed to heaven.
00:24:00.366 --> 00:24:01.834
And that can happen if you do what romans chapter 10,
00:24:01.834 --> 00:24:04.670
Verse nine says, confess with your mouth,
00:24:04.670 --> 00:24:07.039
Believe in your heart and you will be saved.
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.442
It's that we don't earn it, we don't deserve it,
00:24:09.442 --> 00:24:11.911
We just receive it.
00:24:11.911 --> 00:24:13.579
So i want you to repeat these words with me
00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:16.048
Because i don't believe in accidents
00:24:16.048 --> 00:24:17.550
And the holy spirit's been drawing you.
00:24:17.550 --> 00:24:19.519
Say it with me. heavenly father, i thank you for the cross
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.623
Where my sins were forgiven.
00:24:23.623 --> 00:24:25.892
Wash me with your blood. i am a disciple.
00:24:25.892 --> 00:24:29.896
I surrender my life completely.
00:24:29.896 --> 00:24:32.164
And i will follow you on the narrow road in jesus' name.
00:24:32.164 --> 00:24:36.702
Come on, say it boldly. amen.
00:24:36.702 --> 00:24:39.038
Well, i'm so glad that you just made that decision
00:24:39.038 --> 00:24:41.507
To give your life to jesus.
00:24:41.507 --> 00:24:43.042
I would actually like to help you on your
00:24:43.042 --> 00:24:44.944
Journey as a disciple.
00:24:44.944 --> 00:24:46.546
And if you scan the qr code,
00:24:46.546 --> 00:24:48.114
We will immediately send you a free prayer guide
00:24:48.114 --> 00:24:51.817
That will actually give you access to prayers for anxiety
00:24:51.817 --> 00:24:55.254
And just different physical conditions you
00:24:55.254 --> 00:24:57.657
Might be struggling with.
00:24:57.657 --> 00:24:58.791
And it's a great resource and a tool.
00:24:58.791 --> 00:25:01.193
As a matter of fact, we also have prayer team members
00:25:01.193 --> 00:25:03.596
That are standing by waiting for you to reach out.
00:25:03.596 --> 00:25:06.132
Now, i'll see you in the next episode.
00:25:06.132 --> 00:25:09.602
Hey, i need your help.
00:25:09.602 --> 00:25:10.870
You know, here in new york city,
00:25:10.870 --> 00:25:12.271
I am reaching young people for christ.
00:25:12.271 --> 00:25:14.941
And we are seeing them from every different background,
00:25:14.941 --> 00:25:18.010
Just except jesus.
00:25:18.010 --> 00:25:19.478
I mean, it's truly like a movement.
00:25:19.478 --> 00:25:21.447
We're actually taking nightclubs
00:25:21.447 --> 00:25:23.416
And turning them into churches on sunday mornings.
00:25:23.416 --> 00:25:26.419
And it is a very hard thing.
00:25:26.419 --> 00:25:28.754
But the reason why i say that is
00:25:28.754 --> 00:25:30.189
Because these are young people like your grandchildren
00:25:30.189 --> 00:25:33.392
And you know, like your nieces and nephews
00:25:33.392 --> 00:25:35.895
And we're leading them to christ.
00:25:35.895 --> 00:25:37.330
But i, here's why i need your help.
00:25:37.330 --> 00:25:38.931
First of all, pray for us.
00:25:38.931 --> 00:25:40.633
And secondly, if you would consider give,
00:25:40.633 --> 00:25:43.669
Giving a gift to the ministry.
00:25:43.669 --> 00:25:45.938
If you call the number on the screen right now,
00:25:45.938 --> 00:25:48.040
We have prayer team members that'll pray with you,
00:25:48.040 --> 00:25:50.509
But just consider helping us on this mission.
00:25:50.509 --> 00:25:53.579
But i want to tell you one of the reasons why you might feel
00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:56.315
So connected to my preaching is
00:25:56.315 --> 00:25:58.484
Because you're not retired, you're refire
00:25:58.484 --> 00:26:01.087
And god is reigniting you
00:26:01.087 --> 00:26:02.855
And he's actually causing you to be on fire again
00:26:02.855 --> 00:26:06.158
And return to your first love.
00:26:06.158 --> 00:26:08.260
And so help us as we're on this mission.
00:26:08.260 --> 00:26:10.863
I never thought that out
00:26:10.863 --> 00:26:12.365
Of new york city i would be bringing a television show
00:26:12.365 --> 00:26:15.568
All around the world.
00:26:15.568 --> 00:26:16.902
And it's been a tremendous sacrifice for us.
00:26:16.902 --> 00:26:19.672
But i just believe that as we come together all
00:26:19.672 --> 00:26:22.408
Around the world right now, you can help us.
00:26:22.408 --> 00:26:25.011
And if you sow into young people,
00:26:25.011 --> 00:26:27.813
Just like your grandchildren, just like your nieces
00:26:27.813 --> 00:26:30.249
And nephews, i believe
00:26:30.249 --> 00:26:31.617
That you'll reap a harvest in your own family.
00:26:31.617 --> 00:26:34.420
So the information's on the screen right now.
00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:36.255
You can scan the qr code
00:26:36.255 --> 00:26:37.990
And you can sow a seed, you can support us
00:26:37.990 --> 00:26:42.228
And also you can call in now and
00:26:42.228 --> 00:26:44.430
And meet with our team as well.
00:26:44.430 --> 00:26:46.532
So thank you so much for being a part of the broadcast
00:26:46.532 --> 00:26:49.335
And being a partner for our ministry
00:26:49.335 --> 00:26:51.637
To help not just in new york city, but around the world.
00:26:51.637 --> 00:26:54.940
- jesus said in matthew seven, narrow is the gate
00:26:55.941 --> 00:26:59.445
And difficult is the way that leads to life.
00:26:59.445 --> 00:27:02.615
In a world that celebrates compromise, god calls us
00:27:02.615 --> 00:27:06.052
To live set apart, to walk the narrow way with courage,
00:27:06.052 --> 00:27:10.756
Conviction, and faith.
00:27:10.756 --> 00:27:13.192
