| Mike Signorelli - God's Word Over Your Identity | July 15, 2026

Some of you need to break agreement with the devil,
00:00:07.199 --> 00:00:10.602
Break agreement with your spoken word curses,
00:00:10.602 --> 00:00:13.572
Break agreement with your doubt, break agreement
00:00:13.572 --> 00:00:16.308
With your emotionalism.
00:00:16.308 --> 00:00:17.976
Break your agreement with your therapist
00:00:17.976 --> 00:00:20.179
Who is not biblically thinking when they're
00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:22.781
Thinking they're helping you.
00:00:22.781 --> 00:00:24.283
Break agreement with the algorithm.
00:00:24.283 --> 00:00:26.618
Break agreement with instagram.
00:00:26.618 --> 00:00:28.654
Break agreement with your coworkers
00:00:28.654 --> 00:00:30.789
And come into agreement with what god says about you.
00:00:30.789 --> 00:00:34.493
From genesis to revelation, that is my identity.
00:00:34.493 --> 00:00:38.630
Whatever he says is what i believe, whatever he calls me is
00:00:38.630 --> 00:00:42.701
What i call me, whatever he said i can have is
00:00:42.701 --> 00:00:46.038
What i'm going to have and that's it that settles it.
00:00:46.038 --> 00:00:49.475
Hey, this is mike signarelli with the narrow way
00:00:50.442 --> 00:00:53.112
And i've got some crazy testimonies to tell you.
00:00:53.112 --> 00:00:55.347
So first of all, my team just let me know
00:00:55.347 --> 00:00:57.516
That we had people reaching out saying that they decided not
00:00:57.516 --> 00:01:00.586
To end their life as a result of the message.
00:01:00.586 --> 00:01:03.755
They heard the sermon and they made a decision.
00:01:03.755 --> 00:01:07.059
Also, this is crazy, but i know you believe it.
00:01:07.059 --> 00:01:10.095
God is still a supernatural god who answers prayers
00:01:10.095 --> 00:01:14.166
And we have prayer team members that have been praying
00:01:14.166 --> 00:01:16.401
For people on the phone lines
00:01:16.401 --> 00:01:17.970
And we've gotten reports of medically verifiable miracles.
00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:21.273
We've been encouraging people go back
00:01:21.273 --> 00:01:22.875
To the doctor, get the results.
00:01:22.875 --> 00:01:24.476
Like we believe, yes, we believe in medicine,
00:01:24.476 --> 00:01:27.212
But also we believe that it will be confirmed what god did.
00:01:27.212 --> 00:01:31.183
And so those reports are coming in,
00:01:31.183 --> 00:01:33.185
But i wanted to sincerely thank each and every one of you.
00:01:33.185 --> 00:01:35.754
It's actually because of your support that we're able
00:01:35.754 --> 00:01:38.590
To get these messages out.
00:01:38.590 --> 00:01:40.292
So because you're a partner, we pray for you.
00:01:40.292 --> 00:01:43.529
I mean, as a matter of fact, we want to pray for you today,
00:01:43.529 --> 00:01:46.565
But specifically continue your support
00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:50.302
Because i believe that we've only just begun.
00:01:50.302 --> 00:01:52.971
How many of you believe that we're going
00:01:52.971 --> 00:01:54.540
To see god do even greater things as we continue
00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:57.509
With the narrow way?
00:01:57.509 --> 00:01:59.244
So let's jump into this week's message.
00:01:59.244 --> 00:02:01.680
This path is already narrow
00:02:02.281 --> 00:02:04.283
And we will force forward making no excuse
00:02:04.283 --> 00:02:07.219
For why we can live uncompromised in this generation.
00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:10.756
Gimme a hundred people who will walk
00:02:10.756 --> 00:02:14.560
That narrow road
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.994
And say, "i may have some things in my family,
00:02:15.994 --> 00:02:19.331
But i'm where it runs out.
00:02:19.331 --> 00:02:22.467
" i wanna talk about who i believe is the greatest
00:02:23.502 --> 00:02:26.805
Woman in all of scripture.
00:02:26.805 --> 00:02:28.373
And let me tell you why, because i was thinking about this
00:02:28.373 --> 00:02:30.576
As a theologian, as a pastor, as a preacher.
00:02:30.576 --> 00:02:33.879
I was like, "you know what? we love to talk about hannah.
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.582
We love to talk about deborah." but think about this,
00:02:36.582 --> 00:02:40.452
God almighty had to make a decision.
00:02:40.452 --> 00:02:43.288
Of all the women who will ever be born,
00:02:43.288 --> 00:02:46.024
Who will i actually give to, to birth my son, jesus?
00:02:46.024 --> 00:02:50.262
And he chose mary.
00:02:50.262 --> 00:02:51.797
And so i wanna look at the life of mary today,
00:02:52.698 --> 00:02:54.800
Because i'm gonna show you what the
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:55.901
Bible has to say about her.
00:02:55.901 --> 00:02:57.336
Now, i hope i'm not disrespectful,
00:02:57.336 --> 00:02:59.605
But as i was studying the scriptures, i saw a lot
00:02:59.605 --> 00:03:02.341
Of parallels between my wife and mary.
00:03:02.341 --> 00:03:04.743
So am i calling my, my wife mary?
00:03:04.743 --> 00:03:06.745
No, because that would make me joseph.
00:03:06.745 --> 00:03:08.747
And but, and she's not a perfect person,
00:03:09.615 --> 00:03:11.917
But i, i really do wanna honor you, julie.
00:03:11.917 --> 00:03:14.286
I wanna start by honoring you
00:03:14.286 --> 00:03:16.555
Because this church exists
00:03:16.555 --> 00:03:19.491
And i, this might be worth the entire sermon
00:03:19.491 --> 00:03:22.227
Before i jump into the scriptures.
00:03:22.227 --> 00:03:24.329
But this church exists not just
00:03:24.329 --> 00:03:26.198
Because of a man in his vision,
00:03:26.198 --> 00:03:28.600
Because you know i've got a lot of vision.
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:30.969
But i have watched many pastors have to drag their wife
00:03:30.969 --> 00:03:34.840
Through every season
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.375
Because it doesn't align with their preferences.
00:03:36.375 --> 00:03:39.177
It d - it's uncomfortable.
00:03:39.177 --> 00:03:41.179
And i will say, like,
00:03:41.179 --> 00:03:42.481
It is really hard being my wife sometimes
00:03:42.481 --> 00:03:45.284
Because the lord calls me to do some pretty crazy things.
00:03:45.284 --> 00:03:49.087
And the other thing is, for those of you guys
00:03:49.087 --> 00:03:51.156
Who don't know, i mean, we had a comfortable life.
00:03:51.156 --> 00:03:53.292
I was an entrepreneur who also served the local church.
00:03:53.292 --> 00:03:56.461
So at this particular time in our life,
00:03:56.461 --> 00:03:59.031
We had a middle class existence.
00:03:59.031 --> 00:04:00.766
We had the big yard and a house
00:04:00.766 --> 00:04:03.035
And i'll never forget when i told you i wanna take some time
00:04:03.035 --> 00:04:05.604
To go to new york to serve hurricane sandy victims,
00:04:05.604 --> 00:04:08.707
Which when you're an entrepreneur, when you take off a work
00:04:08.707 --> 00:04:11.443
That you don't get paid vacation, like
00:04:11.443 --> 00:04:13.512
That's just you not making money.
00:04:13.512 --> 00:04:15.480
And so my wife was like, "you know what?
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:17.382
If the lord's telling you to go to new york, go
00:04:17.382 --> 00:04:19.117
To new york." so i come out here and i called my wife
00:04:19.117 --> 00:04:22.587
And i said, "jules, i, i feel like there's ministry
00:04:22.587 --> 00:04:24.890
For us to do these people.
00:04:24.890 --> 00:04:26.358
They need jesus. they need the, the holy spirit." and
00:04:26.358 --> 00:04:30.462
So i'll never forget the very first trip that my wife made
00:04:30.462 --> 00:04:33.632
To new york city with me.
00:04:33.632 --> 00:04:35.267
We actually slept in missionary housing on a little twin
00:04:35.267 --> 00:04:38.470
Mattress bunk bed in bushwick, brooklyn and which i like
00:04:38.470 --> 00:04:43.241
Because the smaller the bed,
00:04:43.241 --> 00:04:44.743
The closer she's gotta get, you know what i'm saying?
00:04:44.743 --> 00:04:46.778
And, and all these years later, we literally sold everything
00:04:46.778 --> 00:04:50.115
To come out here to do more ministry.
00:04:50.115 --> 00:04:52.517
So can we just honor julie one more time for saying yes to
00:04:52.517 --> 00:04:55.887
What god had and being a mother to this church
00:04:55.887 --> 00:04:59.658
And to be willing to say, "god, whatever the cost is,
00:04:59.658 --> 00:05:02.427
I'll pay the cost." because it's not about a pulpit,
00:05:02.427 --> 00:05:05.630
It's not about a stage, it's not about a venue in manhattan,
00:05:05.630 --> 00:05:09.134
It's about a yes.
00:05:09.134 --> 00:05:10.369
Come on. so we thank you for your yes.
00:05:10.369 --> 00:05:13.638
So the first thing is the art of adaptability.
00:05:13.638 --> 00:05:18.176
Every mother knows what i'm talking about.
00:05:18.176 --> 00:05:20.045
You, the 11th commandment is bet flexible
00:05:20.045 --> 00:05:24.950
Because you have your plans
00:05:24.950 --> 00:05:26.485
And then your babies have their plans
00:05:26.485 --> 00:05:28.787
And have you ever had one of those blowouts where they just,
00:05:28.787 --> 00:05:31.990
They just explosively diarrhea through their diaper.
00:05:31.990 --> 00:05:35.160
It goes all the way up their backside
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.995
And then into their hair.
00:05:36.995 --> 00:05:38.530
Anybody know what i'm talking about?
00:05:38.530 --> 00:05:40.265
And you're like, how is this defying gravity
00:05:41.166 --> 00:05:43.769
That my kid would even be able to do this?
00:05:43.769 --> 00:05:46.872
And it's just like life is filled
00:05:46.872 --> 00:05:49.207
With unexpected things when you're a mother
00:05:49.207 --> 00:05:52.210
And when i look at the, the life of mary, i see this.
00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:55.680
So let's start in luke chapter one.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.716
In luke chapter one, verse 38, mary says this,
00:05:57.716 --> 00:06:01.486
"i am the lord's servant.
00:06:01.486 --> 00:06:03.755
I am the lord servant.
00:06:04.256 --> 00:06:06.358
May everything that you have said about me come true."
00:06:06.358 --> 00:06:10.829
The angel messenger comes and says, "mary, you found favor.
00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:14.533
You have found favor among women
00:06:14.533 --> 00:06:16.701
And the holy spirit's gonna overshadow you
00:06:16.701 --> 00:06:19.304
And you're gonna conceive m - jesus, the messiah."
00:06:19.304 --> 00:06:22.974
And she didn't understand it.
00:06:22.974 --> 00:06:24.876
It didn't make sense, but she submitted to it.
00:06:24.876 --> 00:06:27.746
The prerequisite
00:06:27.746 --> 00:06:29.114
For mary being obedient was not her understanding.
00:06:29.114 --> 00:06:32.784
Let me, let me say it another way.
00:06:32.784 --> 00:06:34.653
The prerequisite, the requirement
00:06:34.653 --> 00:06:37.155
For mary's obedience was not mary understanding.
00:06:37.155 --> 00:06:41.960
And let me just tell you, if you're gonna do anything
00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:44.262
For god, you need to stop trying to understand
00:06:44.262 --> 00:06:47.098
And start trying to obey because it's not gonna make sense.
00:06:47.098 --> 00:06:51.136
It didn't make sense for us to now sell our house in queens
00:06:51.136 --> 00:06:54.072
And move to manhattan.
00:06:54.072 --> 00:06:55.340
That doesn't matter. that's a dumb decision.
00:06:55.340 --> 00:06:57.309
But how many of you know it's foolishness to the world,
00:06:57.309 --> 00:06:59.711
But it's the wisdom of god.
00:06:59.711 --> 00:07:01.480
There's something about it.
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.814
When you give your money to the local church,
00:07:02.814 --> 00:07:04.816
Your family thinks you're crazy.
00:07:04.816 --> 00:07:06.151
They have no problem with you buying a round
00:07:06.151 --> 00:07:08.019
Of drinks at the bar.
00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:09.387
They got no problem when, when the bill comes at, at the,
00:07:10.522 --> 00:07:12.757
At the applebee's or the chili's, come on somebody,
00:07:12.757 --> 00:07:15.894
That you pay that bill.
00:07:15.894 --> 00:07:17.429
But if you take that money
00:07:17.429 --> 00:07:18.797
And give it to the church, you're gona expose.
00:07:18.797 --> 00:07:20.398
They'll say you're full. why would you
00:07:20.398 --> 00:07:21.967
Give the church your money?
00:07:21.967 --> 00:07:23.635
Because the foolishness of the world is the wisdom of god.
00:07:23.635 --> 00:07:26.972
So mary, it didn't make sense.
00:07:26.972 --> 00:07:29.140
A teenager who's gonna be pregnant
00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:32.177
And now you know nobody's gonn believe that story,
00:07:32.177 --> 00:07:35.480
That the holy spirit overshadowed her.
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.216
So she knew, i'm gonna have to die to my reputation.
00:07:38.216 --> 00:07:41.753
She knew that this is gonna be very difficult,
00:07:41.753 --> 00:07:44.523
But she, this is what she said.
00:07:44.523 --> 00:07:45.924
Put that scripture up. "i am the lord's servant.
00:07:45.924 --> 00:07:49.094
May everything that you have said about me come true.
00:07:49.094 --> 00:07:51.897
"i could preach the whole sermon on this.
00:07:51.897 --> 00:07:53.632
They told me i only got two hours for this sermon, okay?
00:07:53.632 --> 00:07:57.269
What this also tells me is that she's not a people pleaser
00:07:58.403 --> 00:08:02.474
Because you can't be man servant
00:08:02.474 --> 00:08:04.342
And god's servant at the same time.
00:08:04.342 --> 00:08:06.678
She said," i'm the lord's servant.
00:08:06.678 --> 00:08:08.246
If i was your servant, i would do what you want me to do.
00:08:08.246 --> 00:08:11.149
But i'm not your servant.
00:08:11.149 --> 00:08:12.350
I'm the lord servant, which means i
00:08:12.350 --> 00:08:13.818
Don't have to please you.
00:08:13.818 --> 00:08:15.554
I'm pleasing god. may everything... look, what's this word?
00:08:15.554 --> 00:08:20.792
Okay, let me explain something to you.
00:08:21.593 --> 00:08:23.328
The hardest thing to do is to come into agreement with
00:08:23.328 --> 00:08:26.998
What god says about you.
00:08:26.998 --> 00:08:28.934
Let me break it down f - because i know we got some visitors
00:08:28.934 --> 00:08:32.070
And this might shock you,
00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:33.672
But coming into agreement with
00:08:33.672 --> 00:08:35.574
What the devil says about you is actually easy
00:08:35.574 --> 00:08:38.677
Because your flesh already agrees with it.
00:08:38.677 --> 00:08:41.112
Wow. when the devil says you're a failure,
00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:45.083
Your flesh already feels like you failed.
00:08:45.083 --> 00:08:47.986
So when the devil's like, "you're a failure,
00:08:47.986 --> 00:08:49.521
You're never be - you'll never be nothing.
00:08:49.521 --> 00:08:51.256
Your flesh is like, yeah, that sounds about
00:08:51.256 --> 00:08:53.091
Right." the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.697
So when god says something about you, you have
00:08:58.697 --> 00:09:01.800
To come into agreement with that.
00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:03.668
And by the way, you are a triing being.
00:09:03.668 --> 00:09:06.638
You have a mind, you have a will, you have emotions,
00:09:06.638 --> 00:09:10.775
You have a spirit, you have a soul and you have flesh.
00:09:10.775 --> 00:09:13.912
So most of your being will, will disagree with god.
00:09:13.912 --> 00:09:17.916
Your mind, your logical mind will disagree with god.
00:09:17.916 --> 00:09:20.885
Your emotions will disagree with god.
00:09:20.885 --> 00:09:23.288
The only part of that even wants
00:09:23.288 --> 00:09:24.889
To come into agreement is your regenerated spirit.
00:09:24.889 --> 00:09:27.993
But mary said, "may everything you have said about me come
00:09:27.993 --> 00:09:30.762
True." this, this is why you don't get merry conferences.
00:09:30.762 --> 00:09:34.766
There's only a few scriptures about her,
00:09:34.766 --> 00:09:36.735
But you don't realize how profound this is.
00:09:36.735 --> 00:09:39.304
If you're anything like me, the biggest fight
00:09:40.238 --> 00:09:42.674
Of my life has not actually been against the devil.
00:09:42.674 --> 00:09:45.276
It's been against my disagreement with god about me.
00:09:45.276 --> 00:09:49.180
Who am i to write a book? who am i to plan a church?
00:09:50.215 --> 00:09:53.151
Who am i to preach a sermon? who am i?
00:09:53.151 --> 00:09:55.520
But what did mary say? oh, come on.
00:09:55.520 --> 00:09:57.856
Far be it for me to disagree with god.
00:09:57.856 --> 00:10:00.992
I don't understand it. i would not have chosen me,
00:10:00.992 --> 00:10:03.762
But if the angel says that i have been chosen,
00:10:03.762 --> 00:10:06.498
Then i am the lord's servant
00:10:06.498 --> 00:10:08.333
And may everything that he says about me come to pass.
00:10:08.333 --> 00:10:11.670
Some of you need to break agreement with the devil.
00:10:11.670 --> 00:10:15.073
Break agreement with your spoken word curses.
00:10:15.073 --> 00:10:18.043
Break agreement with your doubt.
00:10:18.043 --> 00:10:19.944
Break agreement with your emotionalism.
00:10:19.944 --> 00:10:22.447
Break your agreement with your therapist
00:10:22.447 --> 00:10:24.649
Who is not biblically thinking when they're
00:10:24.649 --> 00:10:27.252
Thinking they're helping you.
00:10:27.252 --> 00:10:28.753
Break agreement with the algorithm.
00:10:28.753 --> 00:10:31.089
Break agreement with instagram.
00:10:31.089 --> 00:10:33.124
Break agreement with your coworkers
00:10:33.124 --> 00:10:35.260
And come into agreement with what god says about you.
00:10:35.260 --> 00:10:38.963
From genesis to revelation, that is my identity.
00:10:38.963 --> 00:10:43.201
Whatever he says is what i believe.
00:10:43.201 --> 00:10:45.737
Whatever he calls me is what i call me.
00:10:45.737 --> 00:10:48.406
Whatever he said i can have is what i'm going to have
00:10:48.406 --> 00:10:51.710
And that's it that settles it.
00:10:51.710 --> 00:10:55.480
Aren't you a new yorker? no, my residency is in heaven.
00:10:56.581 --> 00:11:00.418
I only got one resident.
00:11:00.418 --> 00:11:01.953
I, i have on identity that supersedes all the identities.
00:11:01.953 --> 00:11:09.828
I'm a kingdom of a different place.
00:11:10.562 --> 00:11:13.998
I'm trying to calm down. oh lord, i feel it. i feel it.
00:11:15.133 --> 00:11:20.438
Because whatever passport you hold
00:11:21.172 --> 00:11:23.942
Is your governance
00:11:24.375 --> 00:11:25.910
That determines your finances and everything else.
00:11:25.910 --> 00:11:28.646
And listen, i'm talking to the mothers right now.
00:11:28.646 --> 00:11:31.049
In the natural realm, it may look like you have nothing,
00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:34.152
But in the spiritual realm, he says, "i'll meet all
00:11:34.152 --> 00:11:36.621
Of your needs according to my riches and glory.
00:11:36.621 --> 00:11:39.858
Even the single mothers still have a husband if you know
00:11:39.858 --> 00:11:42.761
He'll never leave you nor forsake you.
00:11:42.761 --> 00:11:45.196
He'll be with you. come on.
00:11:45.196 --> 00:11:47.065
I got two stories on that front row.
00:11:47.832 --> 00:11:49.801
My mom was a single mother
00:11:49.801 --> 00:11:51.536
And then she met the greatest man
00:11:51.536 --> 00:11:53.204
That i know named dean who's sitting right there
00:11:53.204 --> 00:11:55.540
And and we love him.
00:11:55.540 --> 00:11:57.242
And then my wife had me, so pray for her extra.
00:11:57.242 --> 00:12:01.646
But mary said, lord, we're going to read this together.
00:12:02.747 --> 00:12:06.117
Put that scripture up. now,
00:12:06.117 --> 00:12:07.418
Let's read this together in unison.
00:12:07.418 --> 00:12:12.557
Okay, you ready? i am the lord... okay, no, no, no.
00:12:13.625 --> 00:12:16.895
Come on now. say it with boldness
00:12:16.895 --> 00:12:20.031
Because we're going to declare this.
00:12:20.031 --> 00:12:21.933
Ready? i am the lord's servant.
00:12:21.933 --> 00:12:25.470
May everything you have said about me come true.
00:12:25.470 --> 00:12:29.841
Woo. i felt the anointing on that.
00:12:30.608 --> 00:12:32.844
The devil didn't like that. mas - you know what?
00:12:32.844 --> 00:12:35.480
We might as well just do it again.
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.115
Becau- because you s - this,
00:12:37.715 --> 00:12:39.150
This will break something off of your life.
00:12:39.150 --> 00:12:41.619
This will break something off your own. i'm so angry.
00:12:41.619 --> 00:12:45.356
I'm so depressed. i'm broke.
00:12:45.356 --> 00:12:47.659
Why in the english language do we make it our identity?
00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:51.629
Why do we claim an emotion like it's an identity?
00:12:52.630 --> 00:12:56.100
So we gotta break that ownership.
00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:58.436
No, i feel angry, but i'm not anger.
00:12:58.436 --> 00:13:01.272
You get what i'm saying? it, it's like...
00:13:02.073 --> 00:13:06.945
What happens is it's like when we say i'm angry, we own it,
00:13:08.112 --> 00:13:11.950
But it's like, no, i have a feeling name anger,
00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:14.219
But i can let it go because it's not me.
00:13:14.219 --> 00:13:16.354
I might be holding it, but it's not my hand.
00:13:16.354 --> 00:13:20.158
It's in my hand. i can let it go.
00:13:20.158 --> 00:13:22.727
I, i might, i might feel offended, but i'm not offended.
00:13:22.727 --> 00:13:27.332
Yeah. i, i just have a feeling of offense
00:13:27.332 --> 00:13:29.367
And so it's not my hand, it's what's in my hand
00:13:29.367 --> 00:13:32.070
And i could just simply let it go.
00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:33.972
Okay, let me show you this picture now.
00:13:34.839 --> 00:13:38.676
So we had just launched our church.
00:13:39.444 --> 00:13:42.680
We were not a seven campus church.
00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:44.883
We were a one location church
00:13:44.883 --> 00:13:46.851
And we met in the movie theater.
00:13:46.851 --> 00:13:48.620
And what was crazy about the movie theater is that i had
00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:51.356
To rent two auditoriums, one
00:13:51.356 --> 00:13:53.191
For the adults and one for the children.
00:13:53.191 --> 00:13:55.093
Our kids' ministry had all those leather recliners.
00:13:55.093 --> 00:13:57.896
So it was a very difficult place
00:13:57.896 --> 00:13:59.397
To do kids' ministry in that auditorium.
00:13:59.397 --> 00:14:01.799
And so we tried to set up different stations and things
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.736
And none of it really worked.
00:14:04.736 --> 00:14:07.438
And one of the kids had found out...
00:14:07.438 --> 00:14:08.973
Well, we only had six kids at the time
00:14:08.973 --> 00:14:11.009
And every sunday our kids' ministry people would tell us
00:14:11.009 --> 00:14:13.912
They were gonna quit because they got...
00:14:13.912 --> 00:14:15.346
They, they were like the wildest kids ever.
00:14:15.346 --> 00:14:17.916
And they were like, "we can't handle these kids.
00:14:17.916 --> 00:14:19.851
Like if this is what six kids are, like,
00:14:19.851 --> 00:14:21.920
We don't want more kids, god."
00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:24.055
That was the early days of v1.
00:14:24.055 --> 00:14:25.590
One of the kids found out that if they jump off the
00:14:26.591 --> 00:14:29.394
Recliner, it's more, it makes it more exciting.
00:14:29.394 --> 00:14:32.230
So all these kids start climbing up on these recliners
00:14:33.264 --> 00:14:35.833
And swan diving off of them
00:14:35.833 --> 00:14:37.902
And one of those kids was my kid, everly who then fell
00:14:37.902 --> 00:14:42.507
And broke her arm in church.
00:14:42.507 --> 00:14:44.642
Now look at the picture though.
00:14:44.642 --> 00:14:46.044
What do you notice about this picture? we're smiling.
00:14:46.044 --> 00:14:49.280
Let me just tell you, we had sold our house.
00:14:50.148 --> 00:14:53.351
We downsized to a tiny apartment in queens.
00:14:53.351 --> 00:14:56.220
We didn't have laundry facility in our apartment
00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.589
Or our apartment building, so we had to draw a family
00:14:58.589 --> 00:15:01.693
Of fours laundry down the street every o- o- other day.
00:15:01.693 --> 00:15:05.196
We couldn't find parking in our neighborhood
00:15:06.097 --> 00:15:07.832
So we would drive for about an hour just circling, waiting
00:15:07.832 --> 00:15:10.935
For somebody to leave every single time we
00:15:10.935 --> 00:15:12.904
Come, would, would come and go.
00:15:12.904 --> 00:15:14.372
There was construction going on in our area, so
00:15:15.306 --> 00:15:17.241
For about six weeks straight,
00:15:17.241 --> 00:15:19.010
I got a flat tire every single week
00:15:19.010 --> 00:15:21.446
And we thought it was some cruel joke, you know?
00:15:21.446 --> 00:15:24.248
And that was the early days.
00:15:24.248 --> 00:15:25.616
But let me just tell you, look at this picture
00:15:25.616 --> 00:15:27.118
And i wanna look at my wife's face
00:15:27.118 --> 00:15:29.220
Because this picture is a whole sermon in and of itself.
00:15:30.321 --> 00:15:32.824
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
00:15:32.824 --> 00:15:36.127
But the lord delivers them from them all.
00:15:36.127 --> 00:15:38.863
See, let me, let me show you, this picture is
00:15:38.863 --> 00:15:41.199
A leadership picture.
00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:42.867
See, what happens is when mom's angry, the kids are angry.
00:15:42.867 --> 00:15:47.105
When mom's offended, the kids are...
00:15:47.105 --> 00:15:49.007
Matter of fact, if you're here
00:15:49.007 --> 00:15:50.074
And your kids hate church, it's
00:15:50.074 --> 00:15:51.476
Because you hated on church at home.
00:15:51.476 --> 00:15:53.678
And see, what happens is what you,
00:15:54.412 --> 00:15:55.713
What you do in moderation,
00:15:55.713 --> 00:15:57.081
Your children does in ex- extremes.
00:15:57.081 --> 00:15:59.584
So what happens is you'll, you'll have your pastor for lunch
00:15:59.584 --> 00:16:02.820
And then, and then wonder why your
00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:04.122
Kids don't wanna go to church.
00:16:04.122 --> 00:16:05.656
You'll criticize everything about the church
00:16:05.656 --> 00:16:07.592
And then wonder why they don't wanna go
00:16:07.592 --> 00:16:08.926
To the place that you criticize.
00:16:08.926 --> 00:16:10.828
And i, and i'm saying this in love
00:16:10.828 --> 00:16:12.430
Because we, we don't do these things because we're pastors.
00:16:12.430 --> 00:16:15.333
We do these things because we're christians, we're believers
00:16:15.333 --> 00:16:18.236
And we were showing our kid like with a broken arm in pain
00:16:18.236 --> 00:16:22.306
That you can actually smile, like an option is
00:16:22.306 --> 00:16:24.809
To smile through this.
00:16:24.809 --> 00:16:26.544
And let me just tell you before we even move on i,
00:16:26.544 --> 00:16:29.614
I'm not a, i, i just got a master's in theology.
00:16:29.614 --> 00:16:32.350
I'm not impressed by your greek or your hebrew.
00:16:32.350 --> 00:16:34.719
I'm not impressed by your understanding of church history.
00:16:34.719 --> 00:16:38.322
That smile is perfected theology. that's theology.
00:16:38.322 --> 00:16:42.560
That's perfected theology.
00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.262
That smile is saying, "i know the word of god
00:16:44.262 --> 00:16:46.831
And i believe the word of god." and, and i'm smiling not
00:16:46.831 --> 00:16:50.034
Because of what's happening right now, but
00:16:50.034 --> 00:16:52.370
Because i already know the outcome
00:16:52.370 --> 00:16:54.305
Of what's happening as we win.
00:16:54.305 --> 00:16:55.840
We get to the other side
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.375
And let me just tell you, our daughter broke her arm,
00:16:57.375 --> 00:17:00.078
Everything was bad, but we smiled through it
00:17:00.078 --> 00:17:02.013
And we were discipling our daughter to, hey, learn how
00:17:02.013 --> 00:17:06.384
To smile with a broken arm at three years old so
00:17:06.384 --> 00:17:09.754
That when you have a broken life at 30 years old,
00:17:09.754 --> 00:17:11.989
You still know how to smile.
00:17:11.989 --> 00:17:13.257
Come on, i'm talking to somebody
00:17:13.257 --> 00:17:15.326
Because your smile is a weapon of your warfare.
00:17:15.326 --> 00:17:18.896
It is, it is. let me tell you it is.
00:17:18.896 --> 00:17:21.732
And so the point number two
00:17:21.732 --> 00:17:24.302
Is the strength of endurance.
00:17:24.936 --> 00:17:27.305
Let's talk about the strength of endurance.
00:17:27.305 --> 00:17:29.440
Luke chapter two. so if you just turn the page,
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.843
We're gonna go to luke chapter two, verse 19.
00:17:31.843 --> 00:17:34.212
But mary treasured up all these things pondering
00:17:35.179 --> 00:17:39.617
Them in her heart.
00:17:39.617 --> 00:17:41.752
So endurance is not just about surviving.
00:17:41.752 --> 00:17:46.090
It's about holding the weight.
00:17:46.090 --> 00:17:48.759
It, it's about when mary heard public whispers,
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.196
She didn't allow those whispers to get into her heart.
00:17:52.196 --> 00:17:55.366
As a matter of fact, she had a treasure. it wasn't louie.
00:17:55.366 --> 00:17:58.336
It wasn't gucci. come on. it wasn't lulu.
00:17:58.336 --> 00:18:02.573
She didn't treasure up the material things.
00:18:03.474 --> 00:18:06.210
Mary treasured up the word of god.
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:08.980
And let me just tell you this. the, again, this scripture is
00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:11.482
So profound because it says she pondered them in her heart.
00:18:11.482 --> 00:18:15.520
Let's be honest, when you hear the whispers
00:18:15.520 --> 00:18:17.788
Of somebody's gossip,
00:18:17.788 --> 00:18:19.323
It doesn't initially go into your heart.
00:18:19.323 --> 00:18:21.292
It goes into your ears, into your mind.
00:18:21.292 --> 00:18:23.794
And then you think about it. what did they say?
00:18:23.794 --> 00:18:25.763
What did they say? what did they say about me?
00:18:25.763 --> 00:18:29.000
What do they, what... and, and it goes from your mind into
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.569
Your heart and in your heart it turns bitter.
00:18:31.569 --> 00:18:34.872
In your heart, it turns to anger in your heart.
00:18:34.872 --> 00:18:37.942
But what i love about mary is that she does not allow...
00:18:37.942 --> 00:18:40.745
Man, isn't it... i get in a revelation on stage.
00:18:40.745 --> 00:18:43.748
Isn't it just like god to give his only son a mother
00:18:43.748 --> 00:18:48.019
Who can hear gossip but not let it in her heart?
00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:51.822
Do you hear what i just said? like,
00:18:52.557 --> 00:18:55.259
Because jesus was gona be gossiped about.
00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:58.196
See, mary was gossiped about before jesus.
00:18:58.196 --> 00:19:01.465
But, but see, because they said, "really, mary?
00:19:01.465 --> 00:19:04.235
He, a teenager, you're talking you
00:19:04.235 --> 00:19:06.304
And joseph didn't do a little something, something,
00:19:06.304 --> 00:19:08.406
And that's how you got a kid?" there was whispers about mary
00:19:08.406 --> 00:19:12.510
Before there was gossip about jesus,
00:19:12.510 --> 00:19:15.246
But the bible says she stored up what god said in her heart,
00:19:15.246 --> 00:19:19.483
And that was her treasure.
00:19:19.483 --> 00:19:20.718
Man, what a great example for jesus.
00:19:20.718 --> 00:19:23.354
You know, jesus biologically only received the human dna
00:19:23.354 --> 00:19:27.992
From one lineage and it was mary's.
00:19:27.992 --> 00:19:30.061
See, i believe that god chose mary
00:19:30.828 --> 00:19:33.531
Because there's something about her life
00:19:33.531 --> 00:19:35.233
And leadership that was being transmitted to jesus.
00:19:35.233 --> 00:19:38.970
You know, come on, this is deep.
00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:40.771
She treasured up all these things pondering them in her
00:19:40.771 --> 00:19:43.741
Heart and mary understood a concept
00:19:43.741 --> 00:19:47.979
Spiritually pivot.
00:19:47.979 --> 00:19:49.747
So let me, let me talk to you from a basketball terminology.
00:19:49.747 --> 00:19:53.784
So when you get the ball
00:19:53.784 --> 00:19:55.286
And you're standing there,
00:19:55.286 --> 00:19:56.754
You can't just run with that ball.
00:19:56.754 --> 00:19:58.522
You have to stay where you're at
00:19:58.522 --> 00:19:59.624
Otherwise you can, you can travel.
00:19:59.624 --> 00:20:01.559
So what happens is you plant one of your feet
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.328
And you can't really move from that position
00:20:04.328 --> 00:20:06.931
Otherwise the referee will blow that whistle on you.
00:20:06.931 --> 00:20:09.834
So, but the thing is you, you have
00:20:09.834 --> 00:20:11.402
To maximize your options in that space.
00:20:11.402 --> 00:20:14.138
And so what'll happen is you get that ball
00:20:14.138 --> 00:20:16.140
And you can pivot with that ball.
00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.775
Come on. you can pivot with that ball.
00:20:17.775 --> 00:20:20.244
And so when i look at the life of mary,
00:20:20.244 --> 00:20:22.747
And this is for all the mothers under the sound of my voice,
00:20:22.747 --> 00:20:25.650
You see her lock into position when the angel
00:20:25.650 --> 00:20:29.020
Came with the prophecy.
00:20:29.020 --> 00:20:30.655
So in other words, she was saying, "i know what god said.
00:20:30.655 --> 00:20:34.025
I'm not moving from this position spiritually. god said it.
00:20:34.025 --> 00:20:38.963
I believe it that settles it.
00:20:38.963 --> 00:20:40.865
It doesn't matter what it looks like in the natural realm.
00:20:40.865 --> 00:20:44.101
I know i'm not moving from here." but
00:20:44.101 --> 00:20:46.270
What happened was her position never changed,
00:20:46.270 --> 00:20:49.006
But her pivot had to change.
00:20:49.006 --> 00:20:51.375
She had to... okay, why? so she starts out in bethlehem and,
00:20:51.375 --> 00:20:54.979
And the baby is born in a borrowed space.
00:20:54.979 --> 00:20:57.882
She didn't get the white picket fence reality and,
00:20:57.882 --> 00:21:01.018
But then all of a sudden there's a census
00:21:01.018 --> 00:21:03.220
And they're trying to kill the firstborn including
00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:05.856
Her baby, jesus.
00:21:05.856 --> 00:21:07.158
So now she's got to go to egypt
00:21:07.158 --> 00:21:09.527
And then she ends up going to nazareth.
00:21:09.527 --> 00:21:11.862
See, what happens is geographically she changes,
00:21:11.862 --> 00:21:14.732
But spiritually she never changes.
00:21:14.732 --> 00:21:17.034
See, i don't know who i'm talking to right now,
00:21:17.034 --> 00:21:18.769
But it's time to lock in and put your foot down
00:21:18.769 --> 00:21:21.939
And say, "you know, my husband may serve the lord
00:21:21.939 --> 00:21:24.342
Or may not serve the lord, but i'm going to serve the lord.
00:21:24.342 --> 00:21:27.078
My family may go to church or may not go to church,
00:21:27.078 --> 00:21:29.814
But i'm taking these babies
00:21:29.814 --> 00:21:31.282
To church no matter how hard it is.
00:21:31.282 --> 00:21:33.417
I've locked my position in.
00:21:33.417 --> 00:21:35.353
Now listen, i may have to pivot,
00:21:35.353 --> 00:21:37.221
But that foot is not going to move from this place.
00:21:37.221 --> 00:21:39.790
Is there any marys that can hear me right now where he said,
00:21:39.790 --> 00:21:43.027
I've decided to lead the spiritual life.
00:21:43.027 --> 00:21:45.730
I may change jobs but i have not changed destinies. come on.
00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:49.533
I, i may have, the way i get paid may change,
00:21:49.533 --> 00:21:52.303
But the way that i move in the presence of god,
00:21:52.303 --> 00:21:55.072
I'm gonna worship whether, whether they're saved on the job
00:21:55.072 --> 00:21:57.742
Or not, i'm saved.
00:21:57.742 --> 00:21:59.143
And i, come on, i'm gonna change an atmosphere.
00:21:59.143 --> 00:22:01.479
I'm gona pivot. my positions move in the
00:22:01.479 --> 00:22:04.115
Same, stay in the same.
00:22:04.115 --> 00:22:05.816
I'm not moving from this place.
00:22:05.816 --> 00:22:08.085
Does there any woman under the sound of my voice
00:22:08.085 --> 00:22:11.155
That treasures up the word?
00:22:11.155 --> 00:22:12.990
Come on, nobody was there in the midnight hour.
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:15.860
I couldn't call my pastor, but i have a great counselor
00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:19.630
And his word counsel me.
00:22:19.630 --> 00:22:21.332
Is there anybody with a highlighted bible that knows how
00:22:21.332 --> 00:22:24.468
To underline a scripture
00:22:24.468 --> 00:22:26.170
And say this is the legal contract of heaven
00:22:26.170 --> 00:22:29.106
And i'm gonna say it back to god until it happens.
00:22:29.106 --> 00:22:32.343
His promises are yes and amen.
00:22:32.343 --> 00:22:34.612
It doesn't matter who the president is.
00:22:34.612 --> 00:22:36.714
It doesn't matter who the mayor is.
00:22:36.714 --> 00:22:38.315
I got a king above all kings
00:22:38.315 --> 00:22:40.317
And whatever he says is what i'm gonn experience.
00:22:40.317 --> 00:22:48.826
In a few moments, i want to pray for you.
00:22:49.727 --> 00:22:51.762
You know, i've seen medically verifiable
00:22:51.762 --> 00:22:54.064
Miracles all around the world.
00:22:54.064 --> 00:22:55.933
I want to pray for you. i,
00:22:55.933 --> 00:22:57.635
I've actually seen people delivered from demons in moments,
00:22:57.635 --> 00:23:00.538
But the greatest miracle is salvation.
00:23:00.538 --> 00:23:02.973
It's when someone who's dead in their sin, literally headed
00:23:02.973 --> 00:23:06.277
To hell, is saved by jesus christ and made to be alive
00:23:06.277 --> 00:23:10.848
And headed to heaven.
00:23:10.848 --> 00:23:12.349
And that can happen if you do
00:23:12.349 --> 00:23:13.884
What romans chapter 10: nine says, "confess with your mouth,
00:23:13.884 --> 00:23:17.421
Believe in your heart, and you will be saved." it's
00:23:17.421 --> 00:23:20.057
That we don't earn it, we don't deserve it,
00:23:20.057 --> 00:23:22.359
We just receive it.
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:24.061
So i want you to repeat these words with me
00:23:24.061 --> 00:23:26.464
Because i don't believe in accidents
00:23:26.464 --> 00:23:27.932
And the holy spirit's been drawing you.
00:23:27.932 --> 00:23:30.034
Say it with me. heavenly father, i thank you for the cross
00:23:30.034 --> 00:23:34.071
Where my sins were forgiven.
00:23:34.071 --> 00:23:36.373
Wash me with your blood. i am a disciple.
00:23:36.373 --> 00:23:40.444
I surrender my life completely
00:23:40.444 --> 00:23:42.613
And i will follow you on the narrow road.
00:23:42.613 --> 00:23:45.883
In jesus' name, come on, say it boldly. amen.
00:23:45.883 --> 00:23:49.453
Well, i'm so glad that you just made that decision
00:23:49.453 --> 00:23:51.856
To give your life to jesus.
00:23:51.856 --> 00:23:53.524
I would actually like to help you on your journey
00:23:53.524 --> 00:23:55.693
As a disciple and if you scan the qr code,
00:23:55.693 --> 00:23:58.462
We will immediately send you a free prayer guide
00:23:58.462 --> 00:24:02.166
That will actually give you access to prayers for anxiety
00:24:02.166 --> 00:24:05.669
And just different physical conditions you might be
00:24:05.669 --> 00:24:08.339
Struggling with and it's a great resource and a tool.
00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:11.609
As a matter of fact, we also have prayer team members
00:24:11.609 --> 00:24:13.978
That are standing by waiting for you to reach out now.
00:24:13.978 --> 00:24:17.248
I'll see you in the next episode.
00:24:17.248 --> 00:24:19.550
Most people follow jesus without really knowing
00:24:20.484 --> 00:24:22.853
Where he went or why.
00:24:22.853 --> 00:24:24.722
Every place he walked was chosen.
00:24:24.722 --> 00:24:27.391
Every confrontation was intentional.
00:24:27.391 --> 00:24:29.860
Every step was advancing the kingdom of god
00:24:29.860 --> 00:24:32.863
And he's inviting you to walk the same way.
00:24:32.863 --> 00:24:36.100
Not in confusion, not walking in fear,
00:24:36.100 --> 00:24:39.136
But walking in true authority.
00:24:39.136 --> 00:24:42.006
Journey with jesus walks you through every step
00:24:42.006 --> 00:24:45.209
Of jesus ministry, not just as history
00:24:45.209 --> 00:24:48.212
But as a map for your life right now.
00:24:48.212 --> 00:24:50.548
So get your copy at the link on your screen
00:24:50.548 --> 00:24:52.850
Because followers of jesus don't wander.
00:24:52.850 --> 00:24:56.086
They actually advance.
00:24:56.086 --> 00:24:57.688
This is your time to take your next step in discipleship.
00:24:57.688 --> 00:25:01.158
Get the book now. hey, i need your help.
00:25:01.158 --> 00:25:14.572
You know, here in new york city, i am reaching young people
00:25:15.706 --> 00:25:19.109
For christ and we're seeing them from every different
00:25:19.109 --> 00:25:21.812
Background just accept jesus.
00:25:21.812 --> 00:25:24.315
I mean, it's truly like a movement.
00:25:24.315 --> 00:25:26.283
We're actually taking nightclubs
00:25:26.283 --> 00:25:28.285
And turning them into churches on sunday mornings
00:25:28.285 --> 00:25:31.322
And it is a very hard thing.
00:25:31.322 --> 00:25:33.591
But the reason why i say that is
00:25:33.591 --> 00:25:35.025
Because these are young people like your grandchildren
00:25:35.025 --> 00:25:38.329
And, you know, like your nieces and nephews
00:25:38.329 --> 00:25:40.764
And we're leading them to christ.
00:25:40.764 --> 00:25:42.266
But here's why i need your help. first of all, pray for us.
00:25:42.266 --> 00:25:45.502
And secondly, if you would consider giving,
00:25:45.502 --> 00:25:48.572
Giving a gift to the ministry.
00:25:48.572 --> 00:25:50.808
If you call the number on the screen right now,
00:25:50.808 --> 00:25:52.943
We have prayer team members that'll pray with you,
00:25:52.943 --> 00:25:55.412
But just consider helping us on this mission.
00:25:55.412 --> 00:25:58.449
But i wanna tell you, one of the reasons why you might feel
00:25:58.449 --> 00:26:01.151
So connected to my preaching is
00:26:01.151 --> 00:26:03.220
Because you're not retired, you're refired
00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:05.956
And god is reigniting you
00:26:05.956 --> 00:26:07.858
And he's actually causing you to be on fire again
00:26:07.858 --> 00:26:11.028
And return to your first love.
00:26:11.028 --> 00:26:13.297
And so help us as we're on this mission.
00:26:13.297 --> 00:26:15.833
I never thought that out
00:26:15.833 --> 00:26:17.401
Of new york city i would be bringing a television show all
00:26:17.401 --> 00:26:20.604
Around the world and it's been a tremendous
00:26:20.604 --> 00:26:22.940
Sacrifice for us.
00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:24.508
But i just believe that as we come together all
00:26:24.508 --> 00:26:27.244
Around the world right now, you can help us
00:26:27.244 --> 00:26:29.880
And if you sow into young people just like your
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.317
Grandchildren, just like your nieces
00:26:33.317 --> 00:26:35.052
And nephews, i believe
00:26:35.052 --> 00:26:36.453
That you will reap a harvest in your own family.
00:26:36.453 --> 00:26:39.323
So the information's on the screen right now,
00:26:39.323 --> 00:26:41.091
You can scan the qr code
