| Mike Signorelli - I Am The Hunter, Not The Hunted | January 23, 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 --> 00:00:28.181
- Oh, oh oh.
- 00:00:28.481 --> 00:00:33.420
- Lions are apex predators.
- 00:00:33.987 --> 00:00:36.623
- They're the top of the food chain.
- 00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:39.726
- Lions.
- 00:00:39.726 --> 00:00:40.960
- See, the reason why a lion sleeps well
- 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.463
- Is because at hunts well.
- 00:00:44.030 --> 00:00:46.533
- And the reason why it hunts well is because it sleeps well.
- 00:00:46.533 --> 00:00:50.637
- See? they're the apex predator.
- 00:00:51.271 --> 00:00:52.806
- They don't go to bed, disregulated.
- 00:00:52.806 --> 00:00:55.508
- Because they know nothing's going to even try to touch me.
- 00:00:55.508 --> 00:00:59.012
- Because i'm at the top of the food chain.
- 00:00:59.879 --> 00:01:01.281
- See, some of you don't understand this revelation
- 00:01:01.281 --> 00:01:03.750
- That god wants to teach you how to rest.
- 00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:05.819
- Well, knowing that you are seated in heavenly places with him
- 00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:10.156
- At the top of the food chain, and he is giving you all power
- 00:01:11.357 --> 00:01:14.494
- Over every witch, every hex, every curse.
- 00:01:15.361 --> 00:01:18.832
- You can do whatever you want to do.
- 00:01:19.632 --> 00:01:20.667
- You ask.
- 00:01:20.667 --> 00:01:22.001
- Wait, but what you can't do is win against me.
- 00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:25.138
- Because i got the blood of the lamb covering me.
- 00:01:26.106 --> 00:01:28.074
- So keep on cursing.
- 00:01:28.074 --> 00:01:29.809
- He's going to keep on blessing.
- 00:01:29.809 --> 00:01:31.744
- I am the hunter, not the hunted.
- 00:01:31.744 --> 00:01:34.481
- I am the predator, not the prey.
- 00:01:34.481 --> 00:01:43.623
- In all these things, we are
- 00:01:44.224 --> 00:01:45.758
- More than conquerors through him who loved us.
- 00:01:45.758 --> 00:01:49.796
- Romans 837.
- 00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:52.132
- We're not just conquerors.
- 00:01:52.132 --> 00:01:53.967
- We're more than conquerors.
- 00:01:53.967 --> 00:01:56.002
- What does that mean?
- 00:01:56.002 --> 00:01:57.403
- I don't just hunt.
- 00:01:57.403 --> 00:01:58.872
- I also sleep.
- 00:01:58.872 --> 00:02:01.007
- I'm more than a conqueror.
- 00:02:01.007 --> 00:02:02.609
- I'm more than my conquering.
- 00:02:02.609 --> 00:02:04.677
- I'm a i, i sleep like i hunt, i hunt like i sleep.
- 00:02:04.677 --> 00:02:08.915
- I'm living in this dynamic tension of rest and work.
- 00:02:09.949 --> 00:02:12.185
- And i understand that because i'm like my father, the lion of the tribe of judah.
- 00:02:13.786 --> 00:02:16.589
- I have nothing to fear.
- 00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:18.391
- But everything fears not me, but who's in me.
- 00:02:18.391 --> 00:02:20.760
- Because when i open up my mouth, you're not hearing me.
- 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:23.530
- You're hearing him because greater he that is in me than he did is in the world.
- 00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:28.468
- And demons don't respond to me, but they respond to the holy ghost
- 00:02:29.769 --> 00:02:31.404
- On the inside of me.
- 00:02:31.404 --> 00:02:32.739
- And i'm not going to shut him up.
- 00:02:32.739 --> 00:02:34.541
- And i'm going to open my mouth because this is what you're afraid of.
- 00:02:34.541 --> 00:02:37.410
- Because i'm going to keep you. what you're afraid of.
- 00:02:37.410 --> 00:02:41.381
- I, i got
- 00:02:41.648 --> 00:02:43.116
- Four minutes on first john chapter four, verse four.
- 00:02:43.116 --> 00:02:46.319
- He who is in you is greater
- 00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:49.088
- To my shout, greater.
- 00:02:49.088 --> 00:02:51.624
- There's two lions.
- 00:02:51.624 --> 00:02:54.894
- Satan's referred to as a lion.
- 00:02:55.528 --> 00:02:57.397
- And he's prowling around, seeking whom he may devour.
- 00:02:57.397 --> 00:03:01.401
- Do you know why he prowls?
- 00:03:01.968 --> 00:03:03.937
- Because he can't be everywhere.
- 00:03:03.937 --> 00:03:07.173
- Even by the very nature of him prowling.
- 00:03:08.007 --> 00:03:10.076
- It reveals that he's limited.
- 00:03:10.076 --> 00:03:16.015
- The fact that he has to prowl
- 00:03:16.649 --> 00:03:19.319
- Is revealing that he's not omniscient.
- 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.655
- He's prowling because he's limited,
- 00:03:23.456 --> 00:03:25.024
- And he needs an army of demons to help him prowl.
- 00:03:25.024 --> 00:03:28.294
- But my god is not like him.
- 00:03:28.895 --> 00:03:30.763
- My my god doesn't have to prowl.
- 00:03:30.763 --> 00:03:33.566
- My god is everywhere.
- 00:03:33.566 --> 00:03:35.768
- My god is in the jail cell with me.
- 00:03:35.768 --> 00:03:38.404
- My god is in the cancer ward with me.
- 00:03:38.404 --> 00:03:41.007
- My god doesn't have to prowl because he roars
- 00:03:41.007 --> 00:03:43.943
- Over the entire earth and his breath fills the entire thing.
- 00:03:43.943 --> 00:03:48.014
- Come on, somebody.
- 00:03:48.448 --> 00:03:50.516
- My god is not limited.
- 00:03:51.017 --> 00:03:52.885
- He's almighty.
- 00:03:52.885 --> 00:03:54.387
- He's all powerful. he's all knowing.
- 00:03:54.387 --> 00:03:57.357
- Come on.
- 00:03:57.357 --> 00:03:58.858
- Testify to him.
- 00:03:58.858 --> 00:04:01.194
- Yeah.
- 00:04:01.194 --> 00:04:02.295
- Joshua, chapter one, verse three.
- 00:04:02.295 --> 00:04:04.364
- Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon.
- 00:04:04.364 --> 00:04:08.434
- I will give it to you.
- 00:04:08.935 --> 00:04:10.336
- So here's a difference between me and the devil.
- 00:04:10.336 --> 00:04:12.105
- The devil is limited. so he has to prowl.
- 00:04:12.105 --> 00:04:14.674
- But i don't prowl.
- 00:04:14.674 --> 00:04:15.708
- I patrol.
- 00:04:15.708 --> 00:04:17.043
- I patrol because i've been given territory.
- 00:04:17.043 --> 00:04:19.445
- And everywhere i put my foot, it's given to me.
- 00:04:19.445 --> 00:04:22.048
- And i'm going to mark my territory and speak to my territory
- 00:04:22.048 --> 00:04:25.918
- And walk on my territory.
- 00:04:26.486 --> 00:04:27.453
- And i'm going to mark it
- 00:04:27.453 --> 00:04:29.455
- And let the enemy know that nobody else belongs on this territory, long island.
- 00:04:29.455 --> 00:04:33.293
- I walk this thing.
- 00:04:33.726 --> 00:04:34.560
- This is a long island.
- 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:35.928
- The king's island, long island.
- 00:04:35.928 --> 00:04:37.897
- Come on. is anybody ever prayer walks her own home?
- 00:04:37.897 --> 00:04:40.400
- You see?
- 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:41.467
- You're not prowling.
- 00:04:41.467 --> 00:04:42.535
- You're patrolling.
- 00:04:42.535 --> 00:04:43.703
- What am i patrolling? back up. devil!
- 00:04:43.703 --> 00:04:45.872
- Don't even think about coming through my front door.
- 00:04:45.872 --> 00:04:49.108
- Back up! i'm on patrol.
- 00:04:49.609 --> 00:04:51.311
- You're prowling, but i'm patrolling.
- 00:04:51.311 --> 00:04:53.546
- Back up! devil! go!
- 00:04:53.546 --> 00:04:56.082
- I am the predator, not the prey.
- 00:04:56.082 --> 00:04:59.319
- I am the hunter, not the hunted.
- 00:04:59.952 --> 00:05:04.457
- You patrol.
- 00:05:04.791 --> 00:05:08.561
- You patrol?
- 00:05:08.895 --> 00:05:09.829
- What are you patrolling?
- 00:05:09.829 --> 00:05:11.397
- I'm patrolling on the job. oh,
- 00:05:11.397 --> 00:05:14.801
- But that's not a christian workplace.
- 00:05:15.568 --> 00:05:17.303
- It is when i'm there.
- 00:05:17.303 --> 00:05:20.573
- I'm on patrol.
- 00:05:20.940 --> 00:05:24.410
- Take notice. devil.
- 00:05:22.408 --> 00:05:26.245
- The righteousness of god.
- 00:05:26.245 --> 00:05:27.647
- The seed of abraham just walked up into this place.
- 00:05:27.647 --> 00:05:30.450
- And wherever i am, the spirit of the living god is.
- 00:05:30.450 --> 00:05:33.586
- And guess what?
- 00:05:33.953 --> 00:05:35.488
- I am in full time ministry when i walk up into this place
- 00:05:35.488 --> 00:05:37.390
- Because i'm hosting his presence everywhere i go.
- 00:05:38.324 --> 00:05:42.729
- You just got it.
- 00:05:43.096 --> 00:05:44.263
- Why are we not taking our dominion?
- 00:05:44.263 --> 00:05:47.500
- What? what?
- 00:05:47.834 --> 00:05:49.102
- I mean, what cowardice got inside of you?
- 00:05:49.102 --> 00:05:51.204
- When did you become a once?
- 00:05:51.204 --> 00:05:55.341
- When did you become a punk?
- 00:05:55.942 --> 00:05:59.212
- Come on. i'm.
- 00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:00.847
- I'm talking straight to some of you tonight.
- 00:06:00.847 --> 00:06:02.782
- I'm going to take my watch off for this next one.
- 00:06:02.782 --> 00:06:06.486
- Since when did you become so passive?
- 00:06:07.286 --> 00:06:10.590
- You know that mouth you used to have on you when you were in the world?
- 00:06:11.991 --> 00:06:14.260
- Why don't you redeem it and start to use it to speak to the enemy?
- 00:06:15.595 --> 00:06:17.930
- You never.
- 00:06:18.231 --> 00:06:19.165
- When nobody can shut you up.
- 00:06:19.165 --> 00:06:20.366
- Why don't you clap back at the devil?
- 00:06:20.366 --> 00:06:22.935
- When are you going to learn?
- 00:06:22.935 --> 00:06:24.337
- Come on.
- 00:06:24.337 --> 00:06:25.705
- He wants to redeem that warrior inside of you.
- 00:06:25.705 --> 00:06:27.707
- You are the lions of new york.
- 00:06:27.707 --> 00:06:33.212
- Use that mouth
- 00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:35.982
- Blocker.
- 00:06:35.982 --> 00:06:39.318
- Come on.
- 00:06:39.585 --> 00:06:40.553
- Throw that holy chunk at him.
- 00:06:40.553 --> 00:06:46.926
- If you're near one of our campuses,
- 00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:49.796
- I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
- 00:06:49.796 --> 00:06:54.734
- There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
- 00:06:56.202 --> 00:06:59.305
- If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
- 00:07:00.306 --> 00:07:02.909
- Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
- 00:07:03.876 --> 00:07:05.711
- And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
- 00:07:05.711 --> 00:07:09.982
- So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
- 00:07:11.317 --> 00:07:17.223
- In amos chapter three, verse eight.
- 00:07:18.024 --> 00:07:20.827
- It says, the lion has roared.
- 00:07:20.827 --> 00:07:23.362
- Who will not fear the lord?
- 00:07:23.362 --> 00:07:25.364
- God has spoken.
- 00:07:25.364 --> 00:07:26.966
- Who can but prophesy?
- 00:07:26.966 --> 00:07:28.868
- See another way.
- 00:07:28.868 --> 00:07:30.503
- The lions marked their territories by sound.
- 00:07:30.503 --> 00:07:33.339
- When you study the science behind the sound of their roar,
- 00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:36.809
- It can reach up to five miles.
- 00:07:37.443 --> 00:07:38.811
- I don't think it's strange
- 00:07:38.811 --> 00:07:40.680
- That about one of the boroughs of new york city could be five miles.
- 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.050
- There's something about your your territory.
- 00:07:44.984 --> 00:07:47.487
- I want to be the kind of christian that
- 00:07:48.354 --> 00:07:50.156
- When i show up, every witch, every warlock knows that i'm there.
- 00:07:50.156 --> 00:07:52.825
- Every demon knows something.
- 00:07:52.825 --> 00:07:54.460
- I want to mark my territory.
- 00:07:54.460 --> 00:07:56.195
- Oh, no. here comes mike. second rally.
- 00:07:56.195 --> 00:07:59.532
- He's a wild one. i can't shut that dude up.
- 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.768
- He prays in the midnight hour.
- 00:08:03.402 --> 00:08:04.337
- That dude actually. fast.
- 00:08:04.337 --> 00:08:05.938
- Oh, i hate him.
- 00:08:05.938 --> 00:08:07.540
- I want to be known by hell.
- 00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:11.077
- That's one of the biggest compliments you can ever have.
- 00:08:12.178 --> 00:08:15.548
- Is literally to be a threat to hell.
- 00:08:16.315 --> 00:08:18.484
- To be known by hell.
- 00:08:18.951 --> 00:08:21.420
- As a matter of fact, i'm worried the day that people stop cursing.
- 00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:26.592
- Yeah.
- 00:08:26.826 --> 00:08:28.261
- I'm worried when they stop talking about me.
- 00:08:28.261 --> 00:08:31.531
- I'm worried when the devil backs up.
- 00:08:32.298 --> 00:08:34.200
- Is that his admonition that i'm less of a target?
- 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.570
- I want to be on the most wanted list.
- 00:08:38.371 --> 00:08:40.506
- I want i want my poster to be in hell.
- 00:08:40.506 --> 00:08:43.075
- Just baldheaded freak.
- 00:08:43.075 --> 00:08:46.012
- Just come on.
- 00:08:46.012 --> 00:08:47.813
- I want.
- 00:08:47.813 --> 00:08:48.915
- I want my i want my poster in hell.
- 00:08:48.915 --> 00:08:52.118
- And i think there's too many christians like, you know.
- 00:08:53.219 --> 00:08:55.254
- Listen, you don't judge by the external appearance because god looks at the heart.
- 00:08:55.254 --> 00:09:00.493
- And i'll tell you what, you guys.
- 00:09:01.227 --> 00:09:03.462
- Some of you guys are so fooled by people with big social media accounts.
- 00:09:03.462 --> 00:09:07.500
- I look at their stuff, i don't feel no oil.
- 00:09:08.401 --> 00:09:10.136
- But give me one of those little grandmothers that knows how to pray.
- 00:09:10.136 --> 00:09:13.306
- Give me one of those little mothers that nobody on earth knows her name.
- 00:09:14.707 --> 00:09:17.276
- But heaven and hell knows that woman's name.
- 00:09:18.177 --> 00:09:19.679
- So she knows how to pray.
- 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.247
- Show me that little woman.
- 00:09:21.247 --> 00:09:22.682
- You know what i'm talking about.
- 00:09:22.682 --> 00:09:24.650
- Not all of us can be famous, but every single one of us can be infamous in hell.
- 00:09:24.650 --> 00:09:29.221
- And i want the devil to know my name more than i care about.
- 00:09:30.389 --> 00:09:32.358
- You know my name.
- 00:09:32.358 --> 00:09:33.392
- Here i come.
- 00:09:33.392 --> 00:09:34.860
- Everything you did to me, i'm doing it back to you.
- 00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:38.364
- I am the predator, not to prey.
- 00:09:38.998 --> 00:09:42.468
- I am the hunter, not the hunted.
- 00:09:43.102 --> 00:09:50.109
- The body of christ.
- 00:09:50.576 --> 00:09:52.345
- One of the most annoying things to me about the state of the church,
- 00:09:52.345 --> 00:09:55.948
- The body of christ, is that for decades, we've been playing defense
- 00:09:55.948 --> 00:10:00.620
- For decades where it's like we're not creating culture.
- 00:10:01.754 --> 00:10:04.657
- We're reacting to culture.
- 00:10:05.224 --> 00:10:06.492
- We're not creating art.
- 00:10:06.492 --> 00:10:08.327
- We're reacting to art.
- 00:10:08.327 --> 00:10:10.463
- We're not creating businesses were reacting to ungodly businesses.
- 00:10:10.463 --> 00:10:15.568
- It's like we've always
- 00:10:16.068 --> 00:10:18.070
- Been playing this game of defense and there's something about this message.
- 00:10:18.070 --> 00:10:20.239
- And i think for everly, my daughter was to come on, bring the piano.
- 00:10:20.239 --> 00:10:24.644
- This is the emotional moment.
- 00:10:25.277 --> 00:10:27.279
- I can hear the piano.
- 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.281
- Okay, go get them. go get them.
- 00:10:29.281 --> 00:10:31.417
- Tell them to wrap it up.
- 00:10:31.417 --> 00:10:34.186
- So, my daughter, at 11 years old.
- 00:10:34.186 --> 00:10:38.257
- Fear is when you live on the defensive.
- 00:10:39.125 --> 00:10:42.662
- And it was almost like she's bracing for something to happen to her.
- 00:10:44.030 --> 00:10:46.632
- But see, god will empower you to where you happen to something else.
- 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.937
- Like you get what i'm saying?
- 00:10:52.571 --> 00:10:53.839
- It's like i'm not going to wait to be attacked.
- 00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:56.042
- I'm not going to wait for something to happen to me.
- 00:10:56.042 --> 00:10:58.678
- And it's like, no, i actually have power in this situation.
- 00:10:58.678 --> 00:11:02.848
- Acts chapter one, verse eight says, after the holy spirit comes upon you,
- 00:11:04.316 --> 00:11:06.986
- You will receive power to be my witnesses.
- 00:11:07.887 --> 00:11:10.022
- And i think that many of us have been stuck in this,
- 00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:12.858
- This passivity, and we've been stuck in this lethargy
- 00:11:12.858 --> 00:11:16.062
- And the lord wants to set you free to say you can switch from defense to offense.
- 00:11:16.062 --> 00:11:20.466
- Like, i don't think my daughter ever thought i can actually attack
- 00:11:20.466 --> 00:11:23.836
- That animal before it attacks me.
- 00:11:23.836 --> 00:11:26.839
- And i feel like the body of christ is stuck in this defensive mode.
- 00:11:26.839 --> 00:11:32.078
- Like, well, i'm going to go to this church until i get hurt
- 00:11:33.245 --> 00:11:35.614
- Because i know they're going to hurt me.
- 00:11:36.449 --> 00:11:38.350
- I'm going to i'm going to work at this place until they talk about me,
- 00:11:38.350 --> 00:11:41.554
- Because i know they're going to talk about me.
- 00:11:41.554 --> 00:11:43.556
- I'm going to call.
- 00:11:43.556 --> 00:11:44.924
- Come on. i'm speaking to something deep right now.
- 00:11:44.924 --> 00:11:46.625
- And you're living like this.
- 00:11:46.625 --> 00:11:49.095
- You know, whenever
- 00:11:49.528 --> 00:11:50.730
- You study an olympian, when they win
- 00:11:50.730 --> 00:11:53.966
- And whether it's michael phelps or any other gold medal winning olympian,
- 00:11:55.367 --> 00:11:59.071
- The most human natural response to victory
- 00:11:59.972 --> 00:12:02.174
- Is making your body as wide as possible.
- 00:12:02.174 --> 00:12:05.444
- This is universal.
- 00:12:05.878 --> 00:12:06.946
- You see it.
- 00:12:06.946 --> 00:12:08.214
- Michael jordan, game winning shot. this.
- 00:12:08.214 --> 00:12:11.083
- You see it?
- 00:12:11.417 --> 00:12:12.685
- Michael phelps comes out of the pool, i won this.
- 00:12:12.685 --> 00:12:14.420
- There's something that this is a sign of.
- 00:12:14.420 --> 00:12:17.189
- I have achieved the highest victory.
- 00:12:17.189 --> 00:12:20.593
- And so what happens when we're in worship?
- 00:12:21.494 --> 00:12:22.928
- Is the lord's trying to shift you from this to this?
- 00:12:22.928 --> 00:12:26.465
- From fear to faith, from defense to offense,
- 00:12:27.366 --> 00:12:30.436
- From just expecting something to happen to expecting to win.
- 00:12:31.637 --> 00:12:34.640
- The lord's trying to change your posture.
- 00:12:35.508 --> 00:12:36.709
- I am the hunter, not the hunted.
- 00:12:36.709 --> 00:12:39.145
- I am the predator, not the prey.
- 00:12:39.145 --> 00:12:41.347
- I'm not living my life waiting for something to happen to me.
- 00:12:41.347 --> 00:12:44.884
- I'm stepping into the moment, knowing with god all things are possible.
- 00:12:46.252 --> 00:12:53.492
- I'm not going to live my life in fear.
- 00:12:54.326 --> 00:12:58.364
- When i got to new york.
- 00:12:56.729 --> 00:12:59.698
- The pastors try to put fear on me.
- 00:12:59.698 --> 00:13:02.101
- They said, you'll never get a big building.
- 00:13:02.101 --> 00:13:04.036
- You'll never see people saved like that.
- 00:13:04.036 --> 00:13:06.105
- You'll never see revival.
- 00:13:06.105 --> 00:13:07.873
- I hear all those pastors who told me those lives are no longer pastors,
- 00:13:07.873 --> 00:13:11.644
- But i stand in a building right now that they told me was impossible to have.
- 00:13:13.112 --> 00:13:15.648
- I had over 400 people saved on one sunday because i believe
- 00:13:16.816 --> 00:13:20.452
- Not in the power of mike segar really, but in this lying on the inside of me
- 00:13:21.987 --> 00:13:25.658
- That once you roar over new york and i just had to
- 00:13:26.625 --> 00:13:29.295
- Say, mike, open your mouth and let him roar.
- 00:13:29.295 --> 00:13:33.599
- Somebody jumped to your feet.
- 00:13:34.233 --> 00:13:35.534
- So i stopped preaching.
- 00:13:35.534 --> 00:13:36.702
- Come on. you.
- 00:13:36.702 --> 00:13:45.277
- So you got the diagnosis,
- 00:13:45.845 --> 00:13:48.314
- And it sounds very loud.
- 00:13:48.314 --> 00:13:53.652
- So you lost your job, and they informed you that,
- 00:13:54.687 --> 00:13:58.390
- You know,
- 00:13:58.691 --> 00:14:00.826
- They don't need you anymore.
- 00:14:00.826 --> 00:14:03.195
- It sounds real loud.
- 00:14:03.195 --> 00:14:06.465
- They could literally whisper,
- 00:14:07.099 --> 00:14:08.834
- You're fired, but it would sound like the loudest thing you heard.
- 00:14:08.834 --> 00:14:11.203
- They can whisper, you have cancer and it's the loudest thing you heard.
- 00:14:12.571 --> 00:14:15.541
- See, sometimes when you're facing a loud enemy,
- 00:14:16.475 --> 00:14:19.478
- The solution is get louder
- 00:14:20.045 --> 00:14:22.882
- Because
- 00:14:23.115 --> 00:14:24.583
- Someone wants to shut you up, wants to silence you.
- 00:14:24.583 --> 00:14:27.553
- But the solution is get louder.
- 00:14:28.187 --> 00:14:30.522
- It's like the diagnosis is loud.
- 00:14:30.522 --> 00:14:32.658
- I'm going to get louder.
- 00:14:32.658 --> 00:14:34.226
- The verdict is loud.
- 00:14:34.226 --> 00:14:35.561
- I'm going to get louder.
- 00:14:35.561 --> 00:14:36.962
- I think there's something liberating about that.
- 00:14:36.962 --> 00:14:38.731
- That's why a lot of my ministry has been giving permission
- 00:14:38.731 --> 00:14:42.134
- To people to scream and to dance and to jump and to shout.
- 00:14:43.269 --> 00:14:45.237
- You know why? because when
- 00:14:45.804 --> 00:14:47.606
- People experience sexual trauma, it causes them to become real quiet.
- 00:14:47.606 --> 00:14:50.709
- Shame causes you to be real silent.
- 00:14:51.443 --> 00:14:54.713
- The enemy loves to torment people.
- 00:14:55.481 --> 00:14:57.783
- And i think for me, as somebody who's extremely introverted,
- 00:14:58.951 --> 00:15:01.186
- I've struggled with with all of these thoughts of why does my voice matter?
- 00:15:02.688 --> 00:15:05.658
- Why would anyone listen to me?
- 00:15:06.292 --> 00:15:07.092
- What does it matter?
- 00:15:07.092 --> 00:15:08.460
- And the enemy will come with those lies.
- 00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:10.195
- And so the sermon.
- 00:15:10.195 --> 00:15:12.264
- It was very different than a normal sermon i would preach.
- 00:15:12.264 --> 00:15:14.867
- But the lord told me.
- 00:15:14.867 --> 00:15:16.168
- Tell them they're the lions of new york.
- 00:15:16.168 --> 00:15:17.970
- The lions of indiana.
- 00:15:17.970 --> 00:15:20.005
- I know i'm talking into indiana right now.
- 00:15:20.005 --> 00:15:22.708
- You know, i want to honor our pastors in indiana
- 00:15:22.708 --> 00:15:27.112
- And our pastors in miami because they found out that we were having
- 00:15:28.447 --> 00:15:30.049
- A revival service tonight, and they were like, you know what?
- 00:15:30.049 --> 00:15:32.351
- We may not be there physically, but we are there spiritually.
- 00:15:32.351 --> 00:15:35.821
- And it's not just a simulcast.
- 00:15:36.455 --> 00:15:38.223
- It's one house, many rooms, and i want to be a part of this revival.
- 00:15:38.223 --> 00:15:41.860
- And the hunger is so intense in miami, and the hunger is so intense.
- 00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:46.332
- And so
- 00:15:46.565 --> 00:15:47.499
- There was a guy named billy nolan.
- 00:15:48.267 --> 00:15:51.603
- Billy nolan was a prophet in northwest indiana.
- 00:15:52.604 --> 00:15:55.774
- And billy nolan before i moved here,
- 00:15:56.575 --> 00:15:59.545
- He said two things, and i've shared the story,
- 00:16:00.512 --> 00:16:01.747
- But i need to share it again briefly,
- 00:16:01.747 --> 00:16:03.716
- Because we're getting ready to step into that assignment.
- 00:16:03.716 --> 00:16:06.218
- And i need your prayers.
- 00:16:06.218 --> 00:16:09.154
- He told me, he said, mark, he had a mustache.
- 00:16:09.154 --> 00:16:13.292
- He kind of looked like a six foot three super mario older,
- 00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:17.329
- You know, or like smith wigglesworth would look, you know,
- 00:16:18.564 --> 00:16:21.533
- And he was a statesman or like,
- 00:16:22.167 --> 00:16:24.770
- Yeah, he just wore sweaters with button down shirts underneath.
- 00:16:25.971 --> 00:16:28.173
- And he was an older gentleman and he was a real prophet,
- 00:16:28.173 --> 00:16:31.176
- You know, not these fake prophets nowadays.
- 00:16:31.176 --> 00:16:34.446
- Somebody that was seasoned, somebody who had been
- 00:16:35.481 --> 00:16:37.449
- Through decades of laboring in the gospel.
- 00:16:37.449 --> 00:16:40.786
- And bill nolan, you know what he told me?
- 00:16:41.687 --> 00:16:42.855
- He said, mark, mike, come here on.
- 00:16:42.855 --> 00:16:46.091
- He said, mike,
- 00:16:46.458 --> 00:16:48.193
- The lord showed me two things about this church
- 00:16:48.193 --> 00:16:51.830
- V one church you're going to start.
- 00:16:52.631 --> 00:16:55.334
- This is before i even moved here.
- 00:16:56.001 --> 00:16:58.170
- But i had shared the vision with him and he said, mike,
- 00:16:58.170 --> 00:17:00.939
- I see these tiny bowls, tiny bowls.
- 00:17:00.939 --> 00:17:05.344
- And i'm thinking to myself, is, what is this guy talking about?
- 00:17:06.545 --> 00:17:09.114
- He said, i see water spilling over these tiny bowls.
- 00:17:10.149 --> 00:17:12.751
- And he said, the lord showed me, don't expect any venue
- 00:17:13.852 --> 00:17:16.522
- To ever be big enough for your church.
- 00:17:17.356 --> 00:17:18.957
- And you will have many campuses like tiny bowls,
- 00:17:18.957 --> 00:17:22.494
- And the water of god's spirit will spill over those bowls.
- 00:17:23.662 --> 00:17:25.764
- Then you'll never be able to fit the people.
- 00:17:26.698 --> 00:17:28.233
- So don't be mad when you can fit the people to more services,
- 00:17:28.233 --> 00:17:31.403
- To fit the people and start more campuses to fit the people.
- 00:17:31.403 --> 00:17:36.175
- I moved to new york
- 00:17:36.642 --> 00:17:38.644
- And i couldn't get the church to grow more than 50 people.
- 00:17:38.644 --> 00:17:42.147
- I said, well, i guess he's a false prophet,
- 00:17:43.082 --> 00:17:45.284
- But i was the one who was stupid
- 00:17:45.284 --> 00:17:48.053
- Because it wasn't.
- 00:17:48.053 --> 00:17:49.388
- Soon after that 50, we started go to 100, 200
- 00:17:49.388 --> 00:17:51.957
- And then queens and and then his word came to pass.
- 00:17:51.957 --> 00:17:55.260
- No venue.
- 00:17:55.561 --> 00:17:56.762
- We've ever been in has really fit us.
- 00:17:56.762 --> 00:17:58.297
- And the biggest problem i've had in the last eight years,
- 00:17:58.297 --> 00:18:01.066
- It's not having enough room.
- 00:18:01.066 --> 00:18:02.668
- And billy nolan is dead.
- 00:18:02.668 --> 00:18:04.636
- He's moved on. he's gone to glory.
- 00:18:04.636 --> 00:18:06.738
- But then oftentimes i think about him telling me in the lobby
- 00:18:06.738 --> 00:18:10.809
- Of that church, the tiny bowls, and you'll never fit the people.
- 00:18:12.044 --> 00:18:14.613
- And no matter how hard this has been, and no matter how many times
- 00:18:15.981 --> 00:18:17.916
- I've struggled with venues, the lord reminds me, mike,
- 00:18:17.916 --> 00:18:21.420
- I already told you it's never going to be big enough.
- 00:18:22.488 --> 00:18:25.858
- But the second thing he told me, he said, i.
- 00:18:26.758 --> 00:18:30.796
- I have one more thing, michael.
- 00:18:31.430 --> 00:18:34.066
- He said, i see the head of a lion.
- 00:18:34.833 --> 00:18:37.603
- And he said, the lord says, son,
- 00:18:38.237 --> 00:18:40.639
- I'm going to roar with you over the regions where you establish churches
- 00:18:40.639 --> 00:18:45.744
- And you're going to raise up lions who are going to roar
- 00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:49.047
- With the head of the lion over every region.
- 00:18:49.982 --> 00:18:52.317
- And so tonight, it didn't surprise me
- 00:18:53.118 --> 00:18:55.754
- When the pastors at indiana said, we've got a stream in for revival.
- 00:18:55.754 --> 00:18:59.625
- It didn't surprise me when miami said that, because the prophecy
- 00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:03.295
- Of billy nolan is, wherever we have b1 churches.
- 00:19:03.295 --> 00:19:06.565
- The head of the lion is going to roar over our cities
- 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.102
- And roar over our towns, and the people will roar.
- 00:19:11.136 --> 00:19:13.839
- And it was almost like our churches were saying, mike,
- 00:19:14.873 --> 00:19:16.842
- You can't have church without us tonight because we have to roar with you.
- 00:19:16.842 --> 00:19:20.779
- So the event with sean floyd is canceled
- 00:19:21.613 --> 00:19:24.850
- In times square.
- 00:19:25.217 --> 00:19:28.053
- And that's all right.
- 00:19:28.554 --> 00:19:29.254
- Stuff happens.
- 00:19:29.254 --> 00:19:30.489
- There's bureaucracy and politics.
- 00:19:30.489 --> 00:19:33.859
- But i want you to begin to pray for something.
- 00:19:34.760 --> 00:19:36.528
- Because when the city said, you guys can't have that date anymore,
- 00:19:36.528 --> 00:19:39.698
- I countered them back.
- 00:19:40.199 --> 00:19:41.733
- And i said, if i can't fill time square for that date we had,
- 00:19:41.733 --> 00:19:45.237
- Then what if you gave me time square for easter sunday?
- 00:19:46.371 --> 00:19:48.373
- And they came back and they said, mike, the date's open.
- 00:19:49.508 --> 00:19:52.211
- And we penciled in b1 church time square, easter
- 00:19:52.211 --> 00:19:55.447
- Sunday.
- 00:19:55.447 --> 00:19:58.951
- I believe the head of the lion
- 00:19:59.585 --> 00:20:02.487
- King roar over new york city from times square.
- 00:20:02.487 --> 00:20:07.326
- But i need you to pray that nothing takes that opportunity
- 00:20:08.493 --> 00:20:11.230
- Away.
- 00:20:11.230 --> 00:20:16.034
- Can you imagine?
- 00:20:16.401 --> 00:20:20.372
- So right now we're penciled in.
- 00:20:18.604 --> 00:20:22.641
- But we need to pray that it gets written in ink.
- 00:20:22.641 --> 00:20:26.011
- Are you believing with me that it's time to draw
- 00:20:26.979 --> 00:20:29.114
- Easter sunday from times square?
- 00:20:29.748 --> 00:20:32.184
- Hey, mike.
- 00:20:32.484 --> 00:20:33.418
- Signa rally here in the studio.
- 00:20:33.418 --> 00:20:34.886
- We're getting ready to jump back into the sermon.
- 00:20:34.886 --> 00:20:37.356
- But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
- 00:20:37.356 --> 00:20:40.392
- That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
- 00:20:40.392 --> 00:20:44.429
- And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
- 00:20:45.831 --> 00:20:49.468
- And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
- 00:20:50.569 --> 00:20:52.537
- I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
- 00:20:52.537 --> 00:20:56.975
- Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
- 00:20:56.975 --> 00:21:00.779
- In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
- 00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:05.217
- It's called the breakers of mobile app.
- 00:21:06.018 --> 00:21:07.919
- It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
- 00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:12.090
- I will see you there.
- 00:21:12.591 --> 00:21:16.094
- And if you're like mike, i don't feel like a lion.
- 00:21:17.129 --> 00:21:19.798
- I feel like a kitty cat.
- 00:21:19.798 --> 00:21:22.267
- I don't feel like i'm ready to roar.
- 00:21:23.035 --> 00:21:25.070
- I'm more. i'm more like a purr right now.
- 00:21:25.070 --> 00:21:28.340
- I'm one of those religious christians.
- 00:21:29.174 --> 00:21:30.709
- And i've been through the motions and i've been to church.
- 00:21:30.709 --> 00:21:33.145
- But i just feel like i've been disconnected from god.
- 00:21:33.145 --> 00:21:36.081
- And i want to know that i'm in right standings with him.
- 00:21:36.081 --> 00:21:39.551
- I said it this morning.
- 00:21:40.052 --> 00:21:41.653
- I'm going to say it again for those of you who are not here.
- 00:21:41.653 --> 00:21:44.156
- The world wants a savior, but very few want a lord.
- 00:21:44.156 --> 00:21:47.959
- In romans chapter ten, verse nine says,
- 00:21:48.827 --> 00:21:51.229
- Confess with your mouth that he is lord and savior.
- 00:21:51.229 --> 00:21:54.966
- And so there's many of you that are like, lord, save me from my sin.
- 00:21:56.301 --> 00:21:58.937
- But i think what he would say to you is, submit to him so you stop sinning.
- 00:22:00.439 --> 00:22:03.842
- Let him be your lord and your savior,
- 00:22:04.609 --> 00:22:07.946
- Lord and savior, lord and savior.
- 00:22:08.613 --> 00:22:12.284
- And there's many of you that you keep rebelling.
- 00:22:13.251 --> 00:22:15.153
- You keep running from him because he's your savior, but not lord.
- 00:22:15.153 --> 00:22:18.724
- So what happens is he saves you, and then you go run out and sin more.
- 00:22:20.125 --> 00:22:22.794
- And then when you need to be saved again, you come back,
- 00:22:23.929 --> 00:22:25.130
- And then you run out of the house
- 00:22:25.130 --> 00:22:26.698
- And then you need to be saved again, and you come back.
- 00:22:26.698 --> 00:22:29.034
- And what breaks the cycle is actually submitting and say, okay, be my lord.
- 00:22:29.034 --> 00:22:33.805
- So this is going to be a moment of radical surrender as we close
- 00:22:35.040 --> 00:22:38.110
- And i'm going to count on three.
- 00:22:38.744 --> 00:22:40.545
- And the reason why i'm going to ask you to, to literally run to these
- 00:22:40.545 --> 00:22:43.115
- Vacant sections up front
- 00:22:43.615 --> 00:22:45.951
- Is because the bible
- 00:22:46.418 --> 00:22:48.520
- Says that if you don't do this publicly, if you just think, well, i'm going to have
- 00:22:48.520 --> 00:22:51.757
- This little private moment with god and i'm going to keep this a secret.
- 00:22:51.757 --> 00:22:55.460
- Then what happens on judgment day?
- 00:22:56.228 --> 00:22:58.597
- Is god, jesus is going to deny you before the father.
- 00:22:58.597 --> 00:23:02.434
- He's literally to say, i don't know them.
- 00:23:03.301 --> 00:23:05.270
- So there's something about your faith that demands you to run toward the ruler.
- 00:23:05.270 --> 00:23:10.108
- There's something about your faith that demands that you say, i'm
- 00:23:11.410 --> 00:23:13.545
- No longer shrinking back in fear, but i'm stepping into this moment.
- 00:23:13.545 --> 00:23:17.616
- I'm stepping into this altar.
- 00:23:18.250 --> 00:23:20.051
- And publicly i'm going to say, you know what, god, the games are over.
- 00:23:20.051 --> 00:23:22.888
- I'm walking in and i want to serve you, and you alone.
- 00:23:22.888 --> 00:23:26.858
- And i want you to be my lord and my savior.
- 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.361
- And enough is enough.
- 00:23:29.361 --> 00:23:30.829
- And that's why this service is called homecoming.
- 00:23:30.829 --> 00:23:33.665
- So on the count of
- 00:23:34.099 --> 00:23:35.400
- Three, i want you to move out of your seat.
- 00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:38.370
- If you're with your spouse,
- 00:23:38.970 --> 00:23:40.505
- Maybe your entire family makes a decision to get saved right now.
- 00:23:40.505 --> 00:23:43.608
- But i want you to say, all right, i'm done.
- 00:23:44.509 --> 00:23:45.477
- I surrender, i'm here.
- 00:23:45.477 --> 00:23:47.312
- I'm ready to step in one.
- 00:23:47.312 --> 00:23:49.915
- Father, i pray that you would move on their hearts right now,
- 00:23:49.915 --> 00:23:53.285
- That they would step just past religion and tradition to come on.
- 00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:58.390
- If the lord's convicting you this whole service to finally step in.
- 00:23:59.724 --> 00:24:02.194
- This is your moment. three. just come now.
- 00:24:02.194 --> 00:24:04.796
- Come now, from the back all the way to the front.
- 00:24:04.796 --> 00:24:07.599
- Just come from the back. all the way to the front.
- 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.502
- Just come.
- 00:24:10.502 --> 00:24:11.470
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 00:24:11.470 --> 00:24:12.337
- Come on. wow.
- 00:24:12.337 --> 00:24:15.607
- Yeah. come on.
- 00:24:15.974 --> 00:24:17.309
- Therefore, there is no condemnation to those
- 00:24:17.309 --> 00:24:19.678
- Who are in christ jesus, but whom the sun sets free.
- 00:24:19.678 --> 00:24:23.148
- Is free indeed.
- 00:24:23.148 --> 00:24:24.382
- Yeah. come up closer. come up closer.
- 00:24:24.382 --> 00:24:27.319
- Come up closer.
- 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.154
- Come on, y'all, celebrate.
- 00:24:29.721 --> 00:24:30.989
- There's more coming.
- 00:24:30.989 --> 00:24:39.064
- Wow. come on.
- 00:24:39.431 --> 00:24:41.366
- They're still coming.
- 00:24:41.366 --> 00:24:42.734
- If you're in the overflow, we'll wait for you.
- 00:24:42.734 --> 00:24:44.636
- Come. wow!
- 00:24:44.636 --> 00:24:53.812
- Hallelujah!
- 00:24:54.145 --> 00:25:00.285
- I want to wait.
- 00:25:00.652 --> 00:25:03.121
- If there's anybody that hesitated.
- 00:25:03.121 --> 00:25:05.957
- But you feel it.
- 00:25:05.957 --> 00:25:07.292
- Let this be a confirmation that you're like.
- 00:25:07.292 --> 00:25:09.327
- No, i want to come.
- 00:25:09.327 --> 00:25:10.562
- I need to step out of the seat.
- 00:25:10.562 --> 00:25:12.130
- I, i need it. i need to make my way up front.
- 00:25:12.130 --> 00:25:15.000
- I'm going to give you, like, the next 30s to do it.
- 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.802
- Yeah.
- 00:25:17.802 --> 00:25:20.105
- Come on.
- 00:25:20.105 --> 00:25:22.207
- This is this is a marking moment in your life.
- 00:25:22.207 --> 00:25:24.776
- Praise god. praise god.
- 00:25:24.776 --> 00:25:28.046
- Wow. yeah.
- 00:25:28.346 --> 00:25:29.915
- Come on.
- 00:25:29.915 --> 00:25:30.715
- People are still coming.
- 00:25:30.715 --> 00:25:39.591
- Come on.
- 00:25:39.858 --> 00:25:43.128
- Come here.
- 00:25:43.428 --> 00:25:47.632
- Come on.
- 00:25:45.830 --> 00:25:48.500
- The lord sees you.
- 00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:55.173
- Wow. come on.
- 00:25:55.540 --> 00:25:58.343
- That's the holy spirit.
- 00:25:58.343 --> 00:26:01.212
- Yeah. come on. let him have the work.
- 00:26:01.212 --> 00:26:03.615
- Come on.
- 00:26:03.882 --> 00:26:04.716
- Surrender completely.
- 00:26:04.716 --> 00:26:06.117
- He's breaking fear off of you right now.
- 00:26:06.117 --> 00:26:08.453
- The fear of man.
- 00:26:08.453 --> 00:26:11.423
- People pleasing is being broken off of you.
- 00:26:10.188 --> 00:26:14.426
- He's radicalizing you right now.
- 00:26:15.060 --> 00:26:16.428
- That's what's happening. you're receiving boldness.
- 00:26:16.428 --> 00:26:18.830
- This is good. you're going to take a stand.
- 00:26:18.830 --> 00:26:20.699
- The lord says you're a soul winner.
- 00:26:20.699 --> 00:26:23.134
- You're a soul winner.
- 00:26:23.134 --> 00:26:25.003
- Yeah. come on, pastor danny here.
- 00:26:25.003 --> 00:26:27.305
- Take him to the. wow.
- 00:26:27.305 --> 00:26:31.209
- He's just trembling right now.
- 00:26:31.843 --> 00:26:33.612
- Under the power of god.
- 00:26:33.612 --> 00:26:34.846
- Isn't that amazing?
- 00:26:34.846 --> 00:26:39.718
- I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
- 00:26:40.852 --> 00:26:44.456
- Pray about what god would have you do.
- 00:26:45.290 --> 00:26:46.891
- We don't tell people what to give.
- 00:26:46.891 --> 00:26:48.793
- What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
- 00:26:48.793 --> 00:26:53.231
- That we do around the united states and around the world,
- 00:26:53.231 --> 00:26:56.534
- Whether it's distributing the gospel
- 00:26:57.302 --> 00:26:58.870
- In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
- 00:26:58.870 --> 00:27:02.907
- Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states.
- 00:27:04.409 --> 00:27:07.712
- Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
- 00:27:08.847 --> 00:27:08.847
