  • Faithfulness that doesn't require feedback
  • 00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:04.363
  • Always produces eternal fruit.
  • 00:00:04.363 --> 00:00:07.433
  • See, this is what happens is like i need somebody
  • 00:00:07.433 --> 00:00:10.002
  • To tell me i'm doing a good job.
  • 00:00:10.002 --> 00:00:11.136
  • No, no, no, you don't need encouragement externally.
  • 00:00:11.136 --> 00:00:14.239
  • You need holy spirit encouragement internally.
  • 00:00:14.239 --> 00:00:17.142
  • David said, i'm going to encourage myself.
  • 00:00:17.142 --> 00:00:20.145
  • See, you have to learn
  • 00:00:20.145 --> 00:00:21.313
  • How to be faithful without feedback.
  • 00:00:21.313 --> 00:00:23.048
  • Well, nobody appreciates me. no, no, no.
  • 00:00:23.048 --> 00:00:25.517
  • Then that
  • 00:00:25.517 --> 00:00:25.584
  • Then that word is
  • 00:00:26.018 --> 00:00:27.052
  • Is actually revealing who you're doing it for.
  • 00:00:27.052 --> 00:00:29.688
  • Listen, when i serve, i didn't serve you.
  • 00:00:29.688 --> 00:00:31.757
  • I might have gave you a cup of coffee,
  • 00:00:31.757 --> 00:00:33.559
  • But i was handing it to jesus, i may have.
  • 00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:36.061
  • Oh, come on, somebody, i may have bought you a meal,
  • 00:00:36.061 --> 00:00:38.363
  • But i was buying it for jesus.
  • 00:00:38.363 --> 00:00:39.698
  • I may have clothed you, but i was clothing jesus.
  • 00:00:39.698 --> 00:00:42.367
  • See, i don't care if you ever give me feedback.
  • 00:00:42.367 --> 00:00:45.204
  • My faithfulness is not connected to your feedback.
  • 00:00:45.204 --> 00:00:48.407
  • My faithfulness is connected to god's faithfulness to me
  • 00:00:48.407 --> 00:00:51.810
  • That's why there was never a wasted season,
  • 00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:53.946
  • Because they didn't appreciate who you were.
  • 00:00:53.946 --> 00:00:56.415
  • They didn't appreciate how you loved them,
  • 00:00:56.415 --> 00:00:58.484
  • But you weren't doing it for them.
  • 00:00:58.484 --> 00:00:59.852
  • You were doing it unto the lord.
  • 00:00:59.852 --> 00:01:01.487
  • And jesus says, i received all of it, i received it.
  • 00:01:01.487 --> 00:01:04.990
  • And what god receives, he rewards
  • 00:01:04.990 --> 00:01:07.893
  • This path is already narrow
  • 00:01:08.494 --> 00:01:11.430
  • And we will forge forward making no excuse
  • 00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:14.366
  • For why we can live uncompromised in this generation
  • 00:01:14.366 --> 00:01:18.237
  • Give me a hundred people who will walk that narrow road
  • 00:01:19.304 --> 00:01:22.741
  • And say, “i may have some things in my family,
  • 00:01:22.741 --> 00:01:26.378
  • But i█m where it runs out.”
  • 00:01:26.378 --> 00:01:31.450
  • And this is what was happening,
  • 00:01:32.184 --> 00:01:33.886
  • Because there was a war over jesus identity in nazareth.
  • 00:01:33.886 --> 00:01:37.289
  • Because there was a war over jesus identity in nazareth.
  • 00:01:37.289 --> 00:01:38.023
  • There was a war over his i█
  • 00:01:38.023 --> 00:01:39.057
  • You don't think about it.
  • 00:01:39.057 --> 00:01:40.292
  • You're like, well, surely je█ no, no, jesus was█
  • 00:01:40.292 --> 00:01:42.961
  • There was a war over who he was.
  • 00:01:42.961 --> 00:01:45.164
  • This is why he asked the disciples,
  • 00:01:45.164 --> 00:01:46.798
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:01:46.798 --> 00:01:48.433
  • Because everybody had an opinion.
  • 00:01:48.433 --> 00:01:50.969
  • You know what? i think a healthy church is
  • 00:01:50.969 --> 00:01:53.672
  • A church that's like, “hey, who do you say i am?”
  • 00:01:53.672 --> 00:01:56.208
  • Do you say i'm an alcoholic?
  • 00:01:56.208 --> 00:01:58.243
  • No, i say, you're a preacher man.
  • 00:01:58.243 --> 00:01:59.745
  • I feel the anointing on this.
  • 00:01:59.745 --> 00:02:01.346
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:02:01.346 --> 00:02:02.314
  • Do you say i'm divorced and i.
  • 00:02:02.314 --> 00:02:04.616
  • And i can't do nothing for god now?
  • 00:02:04.616 --> 00:02:06.518
  • No, no, no,
  • 00:02:06.518 --> 00:02:07.019
  • I say
  • 00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:08.153
  • God can take you to the highest realms of authority
  • 00:02:08.153 --> 00:02:10.455
  • And they█ it's
  • 00:02:10.455 --> 00:02:11.390
  • Who do you say that question? who do i say█
  • 00:02:11.390 --> 00:02:13.559
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:02:13.559 --> 00:02:14.826
  • Everything jesus did;
  • 00:02:14.826 --> 00:02:16.562
  • He was modeling what we should do.
  • 00:02:16.562 --> 00:02:20.632
  • And i'll be honest with you, if you don't call me
  • 00:02:19.565 --> 00:02:22.301
  • Your pastor, i can't be your pastor.
  • 00:02:22.301 --> 00:02:24.269
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:02:24.269 --> 00:02:26.038
  • You know what i'm saying?
  • 00:02:26.038 --> 00:02:27.239
  • There's people that's like, no by title, but no, no, no,
  • 00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:28.774
  • I'm not saying what is my title.
  • 00:02:28.774 --> 00:02:30.576
  • I'm saying, who do you say i am?
  • 00:02:30.576 --> 00:02:32.578
  • And this goes all the way around.
  • 00:02:32.578 --> 00:02:33.879
  • And there's something holy about that.
  • 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.348
  • You know, i'll be honest with you.
  • 00:02:36.348 --> 00:02:38.016
  • The local church should be the place
  • 00:02:38.016 --> 00:02:40.452
  • Where we see who you really are,
  • 00:02:40.452 --> 00:02:41.954
  • Even if your own family doesn't.
  • 00:02:41.954 --> 00:02:43.789
  • And i know that scandalous.
  • 00:02:44.389 --> 00:02:45.624
  • But family has expectations and some of them aren█t holy.
  • 00:02:45.624 --> 00:02:49.628
  • Sometimes your family wants you to be something,
  • 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.130
  • And they even limit the smallness of who you are.
  • 00:02:52.130 --> 00:02:54.132
  • But god has a different idea who wants god's vision?
  • 00:02:54.132 --> 00:02:57.636
  • Come on
  • 00:02:57.869 --> 00:02:59.538
  • I want to show you something now,
  • 00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:01.974
  • Because we're talking about these christians
  • 00:03:01.974 --> 00:03:03.375
  • That won't know who you are.
  • 00:03:03.375 --> 00:03:05.043
  • So what happened to jesus in nazareth,
  • 00:03:05.043 --> 00:03:07.079
  • It was not an accident.
  • 00:03:07.079 --> 00:03:08.747
  • And there was this
  • 00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:09.815
  • Whole person formation that we're talking about.
  • 00:03:09.815 --> 00:03:12.884
  • And it didn't necessarily
  • 00:03:13.452 --> 00:03:15.554
  • Develop his theology.
  • 00:03:15.554 --> 00:03:17.422
  • It was developing his central nervous system,
  • 00:03:17.422 --> 00:03:20.259
  • Because jesus body physically had to learn how to wait.
  • 00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:24.296
  • His body physically had to learn
  • 00:03:23.528 --> 00:03:25.430
  • How to submit to authority.
  • 00:03:25.430 --> 00:03:26.999
  • His body physically had to learn
  • 00:03:26.999 --> 00:03:28.667
  • How to love people who misunderstood him.
  • 00:03:28.667 --> 00:03:31.270
  • You've got to acclimate to that.
  • 00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:32.871
  • Last night somebody asked me the question. they said.
  • 00:03:32.871 --> 00:03:35.173
  • They said, “pastor mike,
  • 00:03:35.173 --> 00:03:36.375
  • You know, i have a ministry that's very misunderstood.
  • 00:03:36.375 --> 00:03:39.077
  • What would you tell me?”
  • 00:03:39.077 --> 00:03:40.312
  • And i would say, i said, “here's my advice;
  • 00:03:40.312 --> 00:03:42.381
  • Get used to it.”
  • 00:03:42.381 --> 00:03:44.583
  • You're always█ we're always going to be misunderstood.
  • 00:03:43.415 --> 00:03:47.152
  • We are a peculiar people,
  • 00:03:47.152 --> 00:03:49.154
  • A royal priesthood, a chosen generation.
  • 00:03:49.154 --> 00:03:52.224
  • If everybody understood you,
  • 00:03:52.824 --> 00:03:54.126
  • It would be the evidence that you were common.
  • 00:03:54.126 --> 00:03:57.896
  • Y'all█ are you catchin█?
  • 00:03:58.430 --> 00:03:59.398
  • If everybody understood you, that's the proof
  • 00:03:59.398 --> 00:04:02.134
  • You█re common.
  • 00:04:02.134 --> 00:04:03.135
  • If you make sense to them, it's
  • 00:04:03.135 --> 00:04:04.903
  • Because you're like them.
  • 00:04:04.903 --> 00:04:06.405
  • If you don't make sense to them, it's
  • 00:04:06.405 --> 00:04:08.106
  • Because you're not like them.
  • 00:04:08.106 --> 00:04:09.841
  • What makes you peculiar
  • 00:04:09.841 --> 00:04:11.476
  • Is you're different, i think, different than you.
  • 00:04:11.476 --> 00:04:13.612
  • I talk different than you.
  • 00:04:13.612 --> 00:04:14.946
  • You speak in fear. i speak in faith.
  • 00:04:14.946 --> 00:04:17.549
  • You speak in worry and anxiety.
  • 00:04:17.549 --> 00:04:19.217
  • I feel anxiety, but i don't submit to my feelings.
  • 00:04:19.217 --> 00:04:22.187
  • I say, thus saith the lord, come on.
  • 00:04:22.187 --> 00:04:24.589
  • You sing secular songs.
  • 00:04:24.589 --> 00:04:26.224
  • I sing songs of worship.
  • 00:04:26.224 --> 00:04:28.060
  • You dress promiscuous and i cover up my flesh
  • 00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:30.829
  • Because i'm saving it for my husband.
  • 00:04:30.829 --> 00:04:32.764
  • We're not like each other. i'm not█
  • 00:04:32.764 --> 00:04:34.866
  • Oh, come on, somebody and you're not.
  • 00:04:34.866 --> 00:04:36.868
  • You're not going to understand me
  • 00:04:36.868 --> 00:04:38.203
  • Because i'm not like you.
  • 00:04:38.203 --> 00:04:39.471
  • But that's why the salt hasn't lost its savor.
  • 00:04:39.471 --> 00:04:48.914
  • And, you know, when i walked around
  • 00:04:49.648 --> 00:04:50.682
  • New york city
  • 00:04:50.682 --> 00:04:51.683
  • And i would prayer, walk this city and declare█
  • 00:04:51.683 --> 00:04:53.518
  • People are attracted to that
  • 00:04:53.518 --> 00:04:54.786
  • Because they want what they don't have.
  • 00:04:54.786 --> 00:04:56.488
  • The reason why you go to mcdonald's
  • 00:04:56.488 --> 00:04:57.889
  • Is because you can't make mcdonald's at your house.
  • 00:04:57.889 --> 00:05:01.193
  • The reason, i mean, maybe i should have picked a better
  • 00:05:01.193 --> 00:05:03.161
  • Place.
  • 00:05:03.161 --> 00:05:06.298
  • Come on, somebody said chick-fil-a,
  • 00:05:06.298 --> 00:05:07.866
  • Somebody holy in the back.
  • 00:05:07.866 --> 00:05:09.534
  • They ain't even open on sunday.
  • 00:05:09.534 --> 00:05:11.937
  • But you get what i'm saying?
  • 00:05:11.937 --> 00:05:12.871
  • You go to the restaurant
  • 00:05:12.871 --> 00:05:15.006
  • Because even your best attempt
  • 00:05:15.006 --> 00:05:16.908
  • To make it on your own is not possible.
  • 00:05:16.908 --> 00:05:21.113
  • See, the thing is, they're trying to be positive
  • 00:05:21.113 --> 00:05:23.882
  • But don't have power,
  • 00:05:23.882 --> 00:05:25.484
  • And they see you operating in faith.
  • 00:05:25.484 --> 00:05:27.819
  • Even their best ability
  • 00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:29.454
  • To try to have what you have is not working.
  • 00:05:29.454 --> 00:05:31.690
  • So they're going to come to
  • 00:05:31.690 --> 00:05:32.591
  • You and say, what's your secret?
  • 00:05:32.591 --> 00:05:34.059
  • I know you go through things
  • 00:05:34.059 --> 00:05:35.227
  • Just like i go through, but you have a joy.
  • 00:05:35.227 --> 00:05:37.662
  • Oh, you want to hear my secret?
  • 00:05:37.662 --> 00:05:39.598
  • You know what i do? i say “no you don't want to know.”
  • 00:05:39.598 --> 00:05:42.367
  • That's how they do it.
  • 00:05:42.834 --> 00:05:43.802
  • I was, i,
  • 00:05:43.802 --> 00:05:44.603
  • I, i'm doing this
  • 00:05:44.603 --> 00:05:45.537
  • Like hyperbaric oxygen therapy lately
  • 00:05:45.537 --> 00:05:47.639
  • Because i had covid four times
  • 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.141
  • And it, like, destroyed my lungs and,
  • 00:05:49.141 --> 00:05:51.176
  • It's█ this hyperbaric█s
  • 00:05:51.176 --> 00:05:52.577
  • Been really, really good to, like, regenerate my body
  • 00:05:52.577 --> 00:05:55.147
  • And
  • 00:05:55.147 --> 00:05:55.881
  • I bring my bible
  • 00:05:55.881 --> 00:05:57.048
  • Into the hyperbaric chamber every time.
  • 00:05:57.048 --> 00:05:59.751
  • And yesterday i had a session here in manhattan
  • 00:05:59.751 --> 00:06:02.554
  • And before i got in, the guy, he looks at me and he said,
  • 00:06:02.554 --> 00:06:04.956
  • “i noticed that you bring your bible in every time.
  • 00:06:04.956 --> 00:06:08.560
  • I used to be a catholic,
  • 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.028
  • But i think i'm going to become a protestant,
  • 00:06:10.028 --> 00:06:12.030
  • And i've been watching videos online.
  • 00:06:12.030 --> 00:06:13.899
  • I don't know what█ what do you do for a living?”
  • 00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:19.104
  • I said,
  • 00:06:19.337 --> 00:06:20.572
  • (maniacal laughter)
  • 00:06:20.572 --> 00:06:22.974
  • I said, this is what i said,
  • 00:06:23.608 --> 00:06:25.744
  • “i do a lot of things.”
  • 00:06:25.744 --> 00:06:27.913
  • You know, i said, “i do a lot of things.”
  • 00:06:27.913 --> 00:06:29.848
  • He goes, “well do you really know the bible?”
  • 00:06:29.848 --> 00:06:31.583
  • I said, “i know it pretty well.”
  • 00:06:31.583 --> 00:06:34.286
  • And he goes, he goes, “well, if i ask you questions,
  • 00:06:34.286 --> 00:06:37.289
  • You think you can answer my questions?”
  • 00:06:37.289 --> 00:06:39.191
  • And he goes, are you a catholic or a protestant?
  • 00:06:39.191 --> 00:06:42.994
  • I said, “i'm a son.”
  • 00:06:42.994 --> 00:06:46.164
  • And he said, “what do you mean i'm a son?”
  • 00:06:47.132 --> 00:06:49.034
  • I said, “i'm a son.”
  • 00:06:49.034 --> 00:06:50.769
  • “i've read this entire book.
  • 00:06:50.769 --> 00:06:52.637
  • The word catholic doesn't show up one time.
  • 00:06:52.637 --> 00:06:54.873
  • The word protestant doesn't show up one time.
  • 00:06:54.873 --> 00:06:57.242
  • But the word son shows up a lot.
  • 00:06:57.242 --> 00:07:00.479
  • I'm a son.
  • 00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:01.746
  • And these are letters that i've received from my father.
  • 00:07:01.746 --> 00:07:04.850
  • And, yeah, i know him very well.
  • 00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:07.252
  • And i would love to answer your questions.”
  • 00:07:07.252 --> 00:07:09.221
  • And then all of a sudden, the other employee said,
  • 00:07:09.221 --> 00:07:11.456
  • “well, you know, on saturdays the boss isn't here.”
  • 00:07:11.456 --> 00:07:13.592
  • So, he came over
  • 00:07:13.592 --> 00:07:15.060
  • And he was like, “well, i got questions too.”
  • 00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:18.897
  • And as an introvert, i'll be honest,
  • 00:07:19.664 --> 00:07:21.633
  • My flesh was like, you can't have nothing.
  • 00:07:21.633 --> 00:07:23.568
  • I thought█ because, you know,
  • 00:07:23.568 --> 00:07:24.536
  • My little hyperbaric is; they seal the door.
  • 00:07:24.536 --> 00:07:26.638
  • And as an introvert, i'm like, “yes,
  • 00:07:26.638 --> 00:07:28.173
  • Jesus this is a better vacation. you put me in the water.
  • 00:07:28.173 --> 00:07:31.142
  • I don't even care.
  • 00:07:31.142 --> 00:07:32.644
  • So, but then my flesh was like, man.
  • 00:07:32.644 --> 00:07:35.046
  • Because, you know, sometimes i
  • 00:07:35.046 --> 00:07:35.947
  • Don't want to be pastor mike,
  • 00:07:35.947 --> 00:07:37.916
  • But you don't evangelize because you're a pastor.
  • 00:07:37.916 --> 00:07:40.752
  • You evangelize because you're a christian.
  • 00:07:40.752 --> 00:07:43.321
  • Right?
  • 00:07:43.321 --> 00:07:44.189
  • And all of a sudden, i stood there
  • 00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:46.024
  • And i was in this hyperbaric chamber area, and i looked
  • 00:07:46.024 --> 00:07:49.761
  • And there were two men looking at me,
  • 00:07:49.761 --> 00:07:51.096
  • And i had my bible open,
  • 00:07:51.096 --> 00:07:52.531
  • And the atmosphere began to shift,
  • 00:07:52.531 --> 00:07:54.266
  • And it felt just like v1 church.
  • 00:07:54.266 --> 00:07:56.368
  • And i said, god, you do it at the racket in manhattan.
  • 00:07:56.368 --> 00:08:00.005
  • You do it in the doctor's office
  • 00:08:00.005 --> 00:08:02.274
  • Because there's no longer a
  • 00:08:02.274 --> 00:08:03.708
  • Temple that's made by human hands.
  • 00:08:03.708 --> 00:08:05.944
  • But we are the temple of the holy spirit.
  • 00:08:05.944 --> 00:08:09.347
  • And where 2 or 3 are gathered
  • 00:08:09.347 --> 00:08:12.250
  • There, my presence is in the midst of them
  • 00:08:12.250 --> 00:08:15.086
  • And right there
  • 00:08:15.086 --> 00:08:15.954
  • I said, “yes, the lord loves you,
  • 00:08:15.954 --> 00:08:17.722
  • And i want to answer your question.”
  • 00:08:17.722 --> 00:08:19.090
  • And “oh, yeah, all those saints
  • 00:08:19.090 --> 00:08:20.725
  • That you're praying to, they're not listening to you.
  • 00:08:20.725 --> 00:08:23.194
  • But god right now will listen to you.
  • 00:08:23.194 --> 00:08:25.564
  • And you could go back to your desk
  • 00:08:25.564 --> 00:08:27.232
  • And begin to cry out to him
  • 00:08:27.232 --> 00:08:29.000
  • And you can say, come on,
  • 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.135
  • Even under your breath, you can be█”
  • 00:08:30.135 --> 00:08:31.736
  • And the atmosphere begin to change
  • 00:08:31.736 --> 00:08:33.505
  • And guess what?
  • 00:08:33.505 --> 00:08:34.573
  • I got more sessions in that hyperbaric chamber,
  • 00:08:34.573 --> 00:08:36.908
  • And i'll be having church on sunday
  • 00:08:36.908 --> 00:08:38.810
  • And having church on monday in the hyperbaric,
  • 00:08:38.810 --> 00:08:41.212
  • Because when we say spirit break out,
  • 00:08:41.212 --> 00:08:43.248
  • We mean everywhere.
  • 00:08:43.248 --> 00:08:44.983
  • Come on, come on, somebody.
  • 00:08:44.983 --> 00:08:49.020
  • Do i got some revivalists up this up in this church?
  • 00:08:49.020 --> 00:08:52.157
  • Come on.
  • 00:08:52.157 --> 00:08:53.091
  • Do i got some reformers up in this church?
  • 00:08:53.091 --> 00:08:55.760
  • The conversation is not protestant versus catholic.
  • 00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:58.964
  • It's son versus slave.
  • 00:08:58.964 --> 00:09:00.732
  • Which one are you?
  • 00:09:00.732 --> 00:09:02.067
  • Let's go to nazareth before we go to capernaum.
  • 00:09:02.067 --> 00:09:05.136
  • I'm on a journey with jesus.
  • 00:09:05.136 --> 00:09:10.008
  • One day i'm gonna close on this
  • 00:09:10.675 --> 00:09:13.345
  • Because, you know,
  • 00:09:13.345 --> 00:09:16.748
  • This is probably the best way
  • 00:09:16.748 --> 00:09:18.683
  • I can summarize this message.
  • 00:09:18.683 --> 00:09:20.719
  • If someone does something for you
  • 00:09:20.719 --> 00:09:22.520
  • For public affirmation, they weren't serving you.
  • 00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:26.091
  • They were using serving
  • 00:09:26.091 --> 00:09:27.692
  • You as the vehicle to serve themselves.
  • 00:09:27.692 --> 00:09:30.795
  • So if i stand in the doctor's office
  • 00:09:31.563 --> 00:09:34.265
  • And i'm not able to minister
  • 00:09:34.265 --> 00:09:35.734
  • To two men without a pulpit and without a microphone,
  • 00:09:35.734 --> 00:09:39.104
  • Then when i stand before you, it reveals i have a motive.
  • 00:09:39.104 --> 00:09:42.741
  • See the secret place, the obscure.
  • 00:09:43.508 --> 00:09:46.244
  • The hidden is the the testing grounds of your motive.
  • 00:09:46.244 --> 00:09:51.149
  • Are you doing it for visibility
  • 00:09:51.149 --> 00:09:53.318
  • Or are you doing it for faithfulness?
  • 00:09:53.318 --> 00:09:55.787
  • And this is a really deep
  • 00:09:55.787 --> 00:09:57.255
  • Question for our generation, because
  • 00:09:57.255 --> 00:09:59.557
  • We'll feed the poor and live stream the whole thing.
  • 00:09:59.557 --> 00:10:02.293
  • We█ll preach the gospel as long as we go viral.
  • 00:10:03.228 --> 00:10:05.997
  • I want to go█ it's like, and then we'll justify it.
  • 00:10:05.997 --> 00:10:08.733
  • Listen,
  • 00:10:08.733 --> 00:10:09.768
  • Like, i'm not i'm not saying it's wrong to show it.
  • 00:10:09.768 --> 00:10:12.871
  • I've showed it.
  • 00:10:12.871 --> 00:10:13.705
  • But but i also question whether█ like█
  • 00:10:13.705 --> 00:10:16.574
  • The lord knows your motive.
  • 00:10:16.574 --> 00:10:17.709
  • That's the best way of putting it.
  • 00:10:17.709 --> 00:10:19.444
  • And i think what jesus, even jesus was
  • 00:10:19.444 --> 00:10:21.946
  • Being subjected to a motive check.
  • 00:10:21.946 --> 00:10:25.417
  • Why do you want more money?
  • 00:10:25.417 --> 00:10:27.786
  • Why do you want this
  • 00:10:27.786 --> 00:10:29.654
  • More█ like, what's the motive behind it?
  • 00:10:29.654 --> 00:10:31.723
  • Because the bible says,
  • 00:10:31.723 --> 00:10:32.691
  • Let the greatest among you become the servant.
  • 00:10:32.691 --> 00:10:35.560
  • So there's something about nazareth that it's like
  • 00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:37.996
  • There was an anointing. that was.
  • 00:10:37.996 --> 00:10:39.731
  • The bible says that there was an increase
  • 00:10:39.731 --> 00:10:41.666
  • Of favor and stature and wisdom on jesus christ,
  • 00:10:41.666 --> 00:10:44.836
  • Which means while
  • 00:10:44.836 --> 00:10:45.804
  • He was doing the dishes, it was increasing
  • 00:10:45.804 --> 00:10:48.807
  • When he was submitting to his parents.
  • 00:10:48.807 --> 00:10:50.675
  • By the way, i gotta say this. let's ask.
  • 00:10:50.675 --> 00:10:52.944
  • Let me ask the question, was mary and joseph perfect?
  • 00:10:52.944 --> 00:10:56.414
  • Was jesus perfect?
  • 00:10:56.848 --> 00:10:59.050
  • So you're
  • 00:10:59.050 --> 00:10:59.718
  • Telling me a perfect person
  • 00:10:59.718 --> 00:11:00.885
  • Submitted to imperfect parents?
  • 00:11:00.885 --> 00:11:03.621
  • A perfect person submitted to imperfect leadership?
  • 00:11:03.621 --> 00:11:06.691
  • See, when we come into the local church,
  • 00:11:07.525 --> 00:11:09.327
  • You don't submit to a pastor because they're perfect.
  • 00:11:09.327 --> 00:11:11.730
  • You do it because you're becoming more like jesus.
  • 00:11:11.730 --> 00:11:14.933
  • And guess what?
  • 00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.367
  • Even when the leadership get some things wrong,
  • 00:11:16.367 --> 00:11:19.571
  • Now i'm not talking about sin,
  • 00:11:19.571 --> 00:11:21.506
  • Because if it's sin, i'll be the first one to leave.
  • 00:11:21.506 --> 00:11:24.109
  • But i'm talking about it's not.
  • 00:11:24.109 --> 00:11:25.410
  • Maybe it's not you. maybe there's a better way.
  • 00:11:25.410 --> 00:11:28.079
  • But the anointing.
  • 00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:28.913
  • Did not david repent
  • 00:11:28.913 --> 00:11:31.082
  • For making a true assessment about saul?
  • 00:11:31.082 --> 00:11:33.651
  • But saul was the one anointed.
  • 00:11:33.651 --> 00:11:36.321
  • See, the anointing carries a heavy weight.
  • 00:11:36.321 --> 00:11:39.257
  • And david was like, i dare not even lord,
  • 00:11:39.257 --> 00:11:41.426
  • I repent for what i said about saul,
  • 00:11:41.426 --> 00:11:43.428
  • Even though what i said was accurate,
  • 00:11:43.428 --> 00:11:45.430
  • It was out of pocket because it wasn't my place.
  • 00:11:45.430 --> 00:11:48.900
  • So what god will do is they'll bring you
  • 00:11:48.900 --> 00:11:50.902
  • To this place where, like, lord, i'm
  • 00:11:50.902 --> 00:11:52.337
  • Not trying to be accurate.
  • 00:11:52.337 --> 00:11:53.605
  • I'm trying to be submitted.
  • 00:11:53.605 --> 00:11:55.840
  • And you know what?
  • 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.708
  • This needs to be said to a generation
  • 00:11:56.708 --> 00:11:58.576
  • That's going online and you█re church experts,
  • 00:11:58.576 --> 00:12:00.979
  • But you don't even serve at a church or attend a church.
  • 00:12:00.979 --> 00:12:03.915
  • You're a preaching expert
  • 00:12:03.915 --> 00:12:05.316
  • And you're evaluating
  • 00:12:05.316 --> 00:12:06.251
  • Someone else's sermon, but you don't have more
  • 00:12:06.251 --> 00:12:08.086
  • Than four sermons under your belt,
  • 00:12:08.086 --> 00:12:10.121
  • And you're giving commentary,
  • 00:12:10.121 --> 00:12:11.656
  • But you don't have authority.
  • 00:12:11.656 --> 00:12:13.191
  • Authority doesn't come from commentary.
  • 00:12:13.191 --> 00:12:15.160
  • It comes from faithfulness,
  • 00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:16.728
  • Submission, earning the right.
  • 00:12:16.728 --> 00:12:18.630
  • And if jesus as a
  • 00:12:18.630 --> 00:12:19.831
  • Perfect person could submit to two imperfect authority,
  • 00:12:19.831 --> 00:12:23.134
  • But the bible gives us a command to do it.
  • 00:12:23.134 --> 00:12:25.570
  • And there's something about the increase in oil.
  • 00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:28.006
  • And the question that a generation needs to be asked
  • 00:12:28.006 --> 00:12:30.875
  • Is, who do you trust to bring you into your calling?
  • 00:12:30.875 --> 00:12:35.180
  • Who do you trust to elevate you?
  • 00:12:35.880 --> 00:12:38.550
  • Who do you trust to bring you█
  • 00:12:38.550 --> 00:12:40.318
  • The bible says the gift of god will make room for you,
  • 00:12:40.318 --> 00:12:43.822
  • Not your pr, not your social media, not your networking.
  • 00:12:43.822 --> 00:12:48.827
  • The gift that god gave you will make room for you
  • 00:12:48.827 --> 00:12:52.297
  • And bring you before great men.
  • 00:12:52.297 --> 00:12:54.132
  • So god, i'm going to serve faithfully in the unseen,
  • 00:12:54.132 --> 00:12:58.169
  • Knowing that when the time is right
  • 00:12:58.169 --> 00:12:59.971
  • You will call me forth.
  • 00:12:59.971 --> 00:13:01.339
  • But here's the thing when god starts you,
  • 00:13:01.339 --> 00:13:03.341
  • Nobody can stop you. when
  • 00:13:03.341 --> 00:13:05.210
  • God puts you in position, nobody can demote you.
  • 00:13:05.210 --> 00:13:08.313
  • When god sends you forth, nobody can revoke it.
  • 00:13:08.313 --> 00:13:11.783
  • And submission is not limitation.
  • 00:13:11.783 --> 00:13:14.385
  • Submission is refrain until god releases
  • 00:13:14.385 --> 00:13:18.489
  • In god's timing.
  • 00:13:18.890 --> 00:13:20.291
  • You know how i started my preaching career?
  • 00:13:20.291 --> 00:13:22.527
  • It wasn't posting on the internet.
  • 00:13:22.527 --> 00:13:24.429
  • It was just faithfully going to church at a small church
  • 00:13:24.429 --> 00:13:27.165
  • In south chicago,
  • 00:13:27.165 --> 00:13:28.299
  • And a woman under the anointing of god stopped me
  • 00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:30.935
  • And said, “i had a dream about you, that you preached
  • 00:13:30.935 --> 00:13:33.404
  • My church and revival broke out.”
  • 00:13:33.404 --> 00:13:35.173
  • Here's the thing.
  • 00:13:35.173 --> 00:13:35.773
  • But what she didn't know
  • 00:13:35.773 --> 00:13:37.408
  • Is that i had developed an appetite for prayer,
  • 00:13:37.408 --> 00:13:40.111
  • And i had been praying for hours every single day,
  • 00:13:40.111 --> 00:13:42.947
  • And i had been getting on my belly
  • 00:13:42.947 --> 00:13:44.749
  • And weeping
  • 00:13:44.749 --> 00:13:45.950
  • Before the lord at 15 years old, crying out before god.
  • 00:13:45.950 --> 00:13:48.953
  • I had been reading the pages
  • 00:13:48.953 --> 00:13:50.488
  • Of the bible every single day.
  • 00:13:50.488 --> 00:13:52.156
  • But what happened was
  • 00:13:52.156 --> 00:13:53.191
  • I was provoking
  • 00:13:53.191 --> 00:13:54.125
  • Heaven, and i never had to ask
  • 00:13:54.125 --> 00:13:55.927
  • Somebody to tell me to preach.
  • 00:13:55.927 --> 00:13:57.562
  • The lord called me and he gave me that gift,
  • 00:13:57.562 --> 00:14:00.131
  • And i want that to be an encouragement for you.
  • 00:14:00.131 --> 00:14:02.200
  • It doesn't matter if they see you,
  • 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.469
  • But all that matters is does heaven
  • 00:14:04.469 --> 00:14:06.437
  • See you in prayer?
  • 00:14:06.437 --> 00:14:07.739
  • Does heaven see you in the word?
  • 00:14:07.739 --> 00:14:09.474
  • Because what's happening is everything
  • 00:14:09.474 --> 00:14:11.242
  • That's private will become public.
  • 00:14:11.242 --> 00:14:13.378
  • And that's a good news.
  • 00:14:13.378 --> 00:14:14.612
  • If what you're doing in private is righteous.
  • 00:14:14.612 --> 00:14:18.716
  • So don't worry about what's visible.
  • 00:14:19.517 --> 00:14:21.753
  • Concern yourself
  • 00:14:21.753 --> 00:14:22.887
  • With what's invisible, knowing
  • 00:14:22.887 --> 00:14:24.455
  • That it will become visible.
  • 00:14:24.455 --> 00:14:26.691
  • Now you know why abraham was asked to kill
  • 00:14:26.691 --> 00:14:29.427
  • Isaac in private.
  • 00:14:29.427 --> 00:14:31.162
  • Now you know why the widow woman was asked to
  • 00:14:31.162 --> 00:14:33.665
  • Give her last bit of flour and oil in private to elijah,
  • 00:14:33.665 --> 00:14:37.568
  • Because there's always going
  • 00:14:37.568 --> 00:14:38.636
  • To be a test before there's blessing.
  • 00:14:38.636 --> 00:14:40.738
  • There's always going to be
  • 00:14:40.738 --> 00:14:41.606
  • A test before there's promotion.
  • 00:14:41.606 --> 00:14:43.474
  • There's always going to be
  • 00:14:43.474 --> 00:14:44.309
  • A test before there's elevation.
  • 00:14:44.309 --> 00:14:46.277
  • I don't know about you, but i'm about to pass my test
  • 00:14:46.277 --> 00:14:49.047
  • This time.
  • 00:14:49.047 --> 00:14:50.148
  • I'm about to pass this semester
  • 00:14:50.148 --> 00:14:52.016
  • This time
  • 00:14:52.016 --> 00:14:53.217
  • I don't know about you, but i'm on a journey with jesus
  • 00:14:53.217 --> 00:14:56.387
  • And this time i'm going to pass my test.
  • 00:14:56.387 --> 00:14:59.824
  • Come on. jump to your feet.
  • 00:15:00.425 --> 00:15:01.626
  • Jump to your feet.
  • 00:15:01.626 --> 00:15:02.527
  • Every single one of you it█s time.
  • 00:15:02.527 --> 00:15:04.162
  • Somebody shout. it's time
  • 00:15:04.162 --> 00:15:06.731
  • Somebody shout.
  • 00:15:07.098 --> 00:15:07.966
  • It's time.
  • 00:15:07.966 --> 00:15:11.069
  • Come on.
  • 00:15:11.336 --> 00:15:14.505
  • Oh my god.
  • 00:15:14.806 --> 00:15:18.076
  • Faithfulness that doesn't require feedback
  • 00:15:18.977 --> 00:15:22.180
  • Always produces eternal fruit.
  • 00:15:22.180 --> 00:15:26.184
  • Say this with me.
  • 00:15:26.617 --> 00:15:27.518
  • I'm going to be faithful
  • 00:15:27.518 --> 00:15:30.054
  • Without feedback.
  • 00:15:30.054 --> 00:15:32.590
  • See, this is what happens is like i need somebody
  • 00:15:32.590 --> 00:15:35.159
  • To tell me i'm doing a good job.
  • 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.261
  • I need somebody to tell█
  • 00:15:37.261 --> 00:15:38.529
  • No, no, no, you don't need encouragement externally.
  • 00:15:38.529 --> 00:15:41.632
  • You need holy spirit encouragement internally.
  • 00:15:41.632 --> 00:15:44.902
  • David said, i'm going to encourage myself.
  • 00:15:44.902 --> 00:15:47.905
  • See, you have to learn
  • 00:15:47.905 --> 00:15:49.073
  • How to be faithful without feedback.
  • 00:15:49.073 --> 00:15:50.808
  • Well, nobody appreciates me. no, no, no.
  • 00:15:50.808 --> 00:15:53.277
  • Then that
  • 00:15:53.277 --> 00:15:53.778
  • Then that word is
  • 00:15:53.778 --> 00:15:55.146
  • Is actually revealing who you're doing it for.
  • 00:15:55.146 --> 00:15:57.915
  • Listen, when i serve, i didn't serve you.
  • 00:15:57.915 --> 00:15:59.984
  • I might have gave you a cup of coffee,
  • 00:15:59.984 --> 00:16:01.786
  • But i was handing it to jesus, i may have.
  • 00:16:01.786 --> 00:16:04.489
  • Oh, come on, somebody, i may have bought you a meal,
  • 00:16:04.489 --> 00:16:06.791
  • But i was buying it for jesus.
  • 00:16:06.791 --> 00:16:08.126
  • I may have clothed you, but i was clothing jesus.
  • 00:16:08.126 --> 00:16:10.795
  • See, i don't care if you ever give me feedback.
  • 00:16:10.795 --> 00:16:13.631
  • My faithfulness is not connected to your feedback.
  • 00:16:13.631 --> 00:16:16.834
  • My faithfulness is connected to god's faithfulness to me
  • 00:16:16.834 --> 00:16:20.304
  • And everything i've done.
  • 00:16:20.304 --> 00:16:21.472
  • I've done it unto jesus christ myself.
  • 00:16:21.472 --> 00:16:23.975
  • That's why there was never a wasted season,
  • 00:16:23.975 --> 00:16:26.177
  • Because they didn't appreciate who you were.
  • 00:16:26.177 --> 00:16:28.646
  • They didn't appreciate how you loved them,
  • 00:16:28.646 --> 00:16:30.715
  • But you weren't doing it for them.
  • 00:16:30.715 --> 00:16:32.083
  • You were doing it unto the lord.
  • 00:16:32.083 --> 00:16:33.651
  • And jesus says, i received all of it, i received it.
  • 00:16:33.651 --> 00:16:37.155
  • And what god receives, he rewards
  • 00:16:37.155 --> 00:16:40.124
  • What god receives.
  • 00:16:40.558 --> 00:16:41.659
  • He rewards.
  • 00:16:41.659 --> 00:16:43.528
  • It's your reward season.
  • 00:16:43.528 --> 00:16:45.963
  • I'm telling you, it's your reward season.
  • 00:16:45.963 --> 00:16:48.466
  • I want to pray for you.
  • 00:16:48.466 --> 00:16:50.868
  • Now here█s what█s going to happen.
  • 00:16:51.636 --> 00:16:53.271
  • I want you to lock in for this,
  • 00:16:53.271 --> 00:16:54.338
  • This is kind of█ make sure we█re all
  • 00:16:54.338 --> 00:16:55.973
  • On the same page.
  • 00:16:55.973 --> 00:16:56.441
  • So,
  • 00:16:56.441 --> 00:16:57.308
  • Before this series, the lord told me
  • 00:16:57.308 --> 00:16:59.377
  • Bring v1 church through three months
  • 00:16:59.377 --> 00:17:01.813
  • Three months, january, february, and march
  • 00:17:01.813 --> 00:17:04.515
  • Of “journey with jesus”
  • 00:17:04.515 --> 00:17:06.084
  • And only focus on jesus
  • 00:17:06.084 --> 00:17:08.219
  • To fix our focus
  • 00:17:08.219 --> 00:17:10.421
  • Because you become what you behold.
  • 00:17:10.421 --> 00:17:12.590
  • If you behold him you become like him
  • 00:17:12.590 --> 00:17:15.359
  • Fix our eyes on jesus, not celebrity preachers,
  • 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.696
  • Not christian culture
  • 00:17:18.696 --> 00:17:20.331
  • Behold him.
  • 00:17:20.331 --> 00:17:22.033
  • Because what you behold is what you become.
  • 00:17:22.033 --> 00:17:25.136
  • And so the lord told me to do that.
  • 00:17:25.136 --> 00:17:26.704
  • I went█ and i█m going to be simulcasting
  • 00:17:26.704 --> 00:17:28.940
  • Out of israel once a month
  • 00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:30.241
  • And we█re physically going where jesus walked
  • 00:17:30.241 --> 00:17:33.211
  • It█s an incredible journey, however,
  • 00:17:33.211 --> 00:17:34.645
  • Because you█re going to hear me talk about nazareth
  • 00:17:34.645 --> 00:17:36.347
  • And i literally█ i went to the mountain in nazareth
  • 00:17:36.347 --> 00:17:39.050
  • That they tried to throw jesus off of
  • 00:17:39.050 --> 00:17:41.719
  • And i preached from that mountain.
  • 00:17:41.719 --> 00:17:43.154
  • So i want to make sure that you█re with me and you█re
  • 00:17:43.154 --> 00:17:44.822
  • Catching all these teachings
  • 00:17:44.822 --> 00:17:46.124
  • Because we█re just going to keep going deeper and deeper
  • 00:17:46.124 --> 00:17:48.793
  • How many of you are excited to see
  • 00:17:48.793 --> 00:17:50.595
  • Simulcasts from israel?
  • 00:17:50.595 --> 00:17:52.096
  • Isn█t that going to be crazy?
  • 00:17:52.096 --> 00:17:54.932
  • There's this moment in scripture
  • 00:17:55.633 --> 00:17:57.068
  • As jesus leaves nazareth, because i'm
  • 00:17:57.068 --> 00:17:59.070
  • Taking you on this journey chronologically,
  • 00:17:59.070 --> 00:18:02.073
  • And he gets baptized as he leaves nazareth.
  • 00:18:02.073 --> 00:18:05.943
  • And many preachers have said that moment where jesus
  • 00:18:05.943 --> 00:18:08.746
  • Receives the affirmation from heaven,
  • 00:18:08.746 --> 00:18:10.615
  • God says, this is my son in whom i well pleased
  • 00:18:10.615 --> 00:18:13.784
  • And this is how you hear all the preachers preach it.
  • 00:18:13.784 --> 00:18:16.621
  • Well, he got affirmed by god before he ever did ministry,
  • 00:18:16.621 --> 00:18:20.158
  • Before he ever cast out a demon,
  • 00:18:20.158 --> 00:18:22.193
  • Before he ever healed a sick person.
  • 00:18:22.193 --> 00:18:24.328
  • While that's true, that's not entirely true.
  • 00:18:24.328 --> 00:18:27.565
  • The truth is, jesus christ passed the test
  • 00:18:27.565 --> 00:18:31.235
  • Of being a son before he became savior.
  • 00:18:31.235 --> 00:18:35.072
  • And when god said, this is my son who i'm
  • 00:18:35.072 --> 00:18:37.642
  • Well pleased, it's
  • 00:18:37.642 --> 00:18:38.776
  • Because he actually did something harder
  • 00:18:38.776 --> 00:18:41.112
  • Than casting out a demon.
  • 00:18:41.112 --> 00:18:42.747
  • He actually did something harder
  • 00:18:42.747 --> 00:18:44.348
  • Than praying for a sick person.
  • 00:18:44.348 --> 00:18:46.050
  • He actually did something harder
  • 00:18:46.050 --> 00:18:47.652
  • Than preaching a sermon
  • 00:18:47.652 --> 00:18:48.920
  • He submitted to imperfect parents.
  • 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.656
  • He actually endured the test of carpentry
  • 00:18:51.656 --> 00:18:54.725
  • And working a physical job
  • 00:18:54.725 --> 00:18:56.527
  • And when god was affirming him,
  • 00:18:56.527 --> 00:18:58.329
  • He was saying,
  • 00:18:58.329 --> 00:18:59.163
  • You've been in ministry from birth,
  • 00:18:59.163 --> 00:19:01.499
  • But you've passed the hardest ministry test,
  • 00:19:01.499 --> 00:19:04.468
  • Which is not performance, it's endurance.
  • 00:19:04.468 --> 00:19:07.405
  • And it was 30 years of submission in solitude
  • 00:19:07.405 --> 00:19:11.442
  • And being misunderstood.
  • 00:19:11.442 --> 00:19:13.144
  • And he was saying,
  • 00:19:13.144 --> 00:19:14.011
  • This is my son, whom i am well pleased.
  • 00:19:14.011 --> 00:19:17.582
  • And i don't know about you,
  • 00:19:17.582 --> 00:19:18.549
  • But some of you need to recognize
  • 00:19:18.549 --> 00:19:20.218
  • You might work on wall street,
  • 00:19:20.218 --> 00:19:21.752
  • But you're in ministry.
  • 00:19:21.752 --> 00:19:23.054
  • You might work at chipotle, but you're in ministry
  • 00:19:23.054 --> 00:19:26.057
  • And your first ministry is to submission.
  • 00:19:26.057 --> 00:19:28.793
  • Your first ministry is to obedience.
  • 00:19:28.793 --> 00:19:31.229
  • Your first ministry is in faithfulness.
  • 00:19:31.229 --> 00:19:33.631
  • And god is looking to.
  • 00:19:33.631 --> 00:19:34.799
  • And i feel like there's many of you
  • 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.067
  • Where the lord wants you to feel the
  • 00:19:36.067 --> 00:19:37.568
  • Approval of heaven right now.
  • 00:19:37.568 --> 00:19:39.737
  • Just say you haven't given up, you haven't quit,
  • 00:19:39.737 --> 00:19:43.474
  • And i want to pray that over you.
  • 00:19:43.474 --> 00:19:44.742
  • As we close this portion of our service, because
  • 00:19:44.742 --> 00:19:50.248
  • Jesus heard those words.
  • 00:19:50.781 --> 00:19:53.217
  • You know, last week, i,
  • 00:19:53.217 --> 00:19:55.586
  • I just had one of those days where i was like, lord, this
  • 00:19:55.586 --> 00:19:58.556
  • I feel the weight
  • 00:19:58.556 --> 00:20:00.124
  • Of launching this church in manhattan and mornings
  • 00:20:00.124 --> 00:20:03.094
  • Praying that they'll come and
  • 00:20:03.094 --> 00:20:04.729
  • Graft into our church community.
  • 00:20:04.729 --> 00:20:06.397
  • And it not be just visiting.
  • 00:20:06.397 --> 00:20:09.567
  • It's actually they come in and it's real,
  • 00:20:09.567 --> 00:20:11.669
  • And i feel the weight of just
  • 00:20:11.669 --> 00:20:13.971
  • Everything we're doing as a church.
  • 00:20:13.971 --> 00:20:15.706
  • And and i said, lord,
  • 00:20:15.706 --> 00:20:16.907
  • I know that my biological father's dead,
  • 00:20:16.907 --> 00:20:19.577
  • And i and i can't hear the words, i'm proud of you.
  • 00:20:19.577 --> 00:20:22.113
  • But i was literally praying to god.
  • 00:20:22.113 --> 00:20:24.081
  • But you know what?
  • 00:20:24.081 --> 00:20:24.882
  • Even though i want that desire,
  • 00:20:24.882 --> 00:20:26.817
  • I'm so grateful that i have you as my heavenly father
  • 00:20:26.817 --> 00:20:30.187
  • And i know that through the blood of christ,
  • 00:20:30.187 --> 00:20:32.490
  • You approve of me and you're proud of me.
  • 00:20:32.490 --> 00:20:34.759
  • This is my private prayer.
  • 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:36.560
  • Well, later on that day,
  • 00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:38.095
  • I did a, a recording with my friend john bavier.
  • 00:20:38.095 --> 00:20:41.699
  • How many of you know john bavier
  • 00:20:41.699 --> 00:20:43.567
  • Awesome man of god, where he's like a new friend.
  • 00:20:43.567 --> 00:20:47.004
  • We've been connecting and we were like,
  • 00:20:47.004 --> 00:20:49.674
  • Let's do a podcast together for my channel.
  • 00:20:49.674 --> 00:20:52.777
  • And so anyways, we do the whole podcast
  • 00:20:52.777 --> 00:20:54.679
  • And it was mind blowing.
  • 00:20:54.679 --> 00:20:55.880
  • We're going to be
  • 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:56.914
  • Posting it up soon. and you know, job of here,
  • 00:20:56.914 --> 00:20:58.716
  • That dude does not play games.
  • 00:20:58.716 --> 00:21:00.985
  • So he's throwing down.
  • 00:21:00.985 --> 00:21:02.553
  • And it was like me and him going
  • 00:21:02.553 --> 00:21:03.888
  • Back and forth was like the craziest prophetic swirl.
  • 00:21:03.888 --> 00:21:07.792
  • Like he was answering my questions
  • 00:21:07.792 --> 00:21:09.593
  • That i had written before i asked him in order.
  • 00:21:09.593 --> 00:21:13.197
  • It was so anointed.
  • 00:21:13.197 --> 00:21:14.465
  • He literally sent a message to our team saying, like,
  • 00:21:14.465 --> 00:21:17.001
  • It was one of the most prophetic things
  • 00:21:17.001 --> 00:21:18.703
  • That he's done in a long time.
  • 00:21:18.703 --> 00:21:20.037
  • Just our anointings intermingling was powerful.
  • 00:21:20.037 --> 00:21:23.074
  • But i get to the end
  • 00:21:23.074 --> 00:21:24.175
  • And i get ready to wrap it up
  • 00:21:24.175 --> 00:21:25.776
  • Because, you know, you kind of wind it down,
  • 00:21:25.776 --> 00:21:27.578
  • Just like i'm winding down the sermon and
  • 00:21:27.578 --> 00:21:29.613
  • And i was closing out.
  • 00:21:29.613 --> 00:21:30.815
  • He said, well, hold on, hold on.
  • 00:21:30.815 --> 00:21:31.916
  • I could tell you're getting ready
  • 00:21:31.916 --> 00:21:32.950
  • To end this, this podcast.
  • 00:21:32.950 --> 00:21:34.852
  • I've been wanting to say something
  • 00:21:34.852 --> 00:21:36.487
  • Because i feel the holy spirit
  • 00:21:36.487 --> 00:21:37.755
  • Leading me to say it the whole time.
  • 00:21:37.755 --> 00:21:39.824
  • And he goes, mike, he goes, “i just want to be obedient.
  • 00:21:39.824 --> 00:21:43.060
  • But i felt like the holy spirit told me█”
  • 00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:45.396
  • And he said, “because i've been watching you for years.
  • 00:21:45.396 --> 00:21:47.264
  • I've been watching
  • 00:21:47.264 --> 00:21:47.965
  • V1 church,
  • 00:21:47.965 --> 00:21:48.733
  • I've been watching your ministry,
  • 00:21:48.733 --> 00:21:50.334
  • And you'll see this moment on the video.
  • 00:21:50.334 --> 00:21:52.370
  • But he goes, “i feel like the holy spirit told me and i
  • 00:21:52.370 --> 00:21:55.473
  • But i want to say this as a dad, i'm proud of you,
  • 00:21:55.473 --> 00:21:59.043
  • I see you, i see what you're doing.
  • 00:21:59.043 --> 00:22:01.779
  • It's a big deal what you're doing in new york city.
  • 00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:04.215
  • And the lord█” and
  • 00:22:04.215 --> 00:22:05.049
  • He literally goes█ then
  • 00:22:05.049 --> 00:22:06.117
  • When he said this last part, i did,
  • 00:22:06.117 --> 00:22:07.585
  • You know, that ugly cry? where you go
  • 00:22:07.585 --> 00:22:08.986
  • Oh, he goes█ and because he used the word “daddy.”
  • 00:22:08.986 --> 00:22:13.124
  • And he said, “you know, just like a daddy in the faith.
  • 00:22:13.124 --> 00:22:16.227
  • I just want to say, i'm proud of you, mike.”
  • 00:22:16.227 --> 00:22:17.962
  • And i'm like, oh, and you'll see the footage.
  • 00:22:17.962 --> 00:22:20.197
  • And i'm just i'm not even going
  • 00:22:20.197 --> 00:22:21.098
  • To edit the part out of me ugly crying.
  • 00:22:21.098 --> 00:22:23.868
  • But let me tell you why this was important.
  • 00:22:24.769 --> 00:22:26.637
  • Watch.
  • 00:22:26.637 --> 00:22:28.272
  • It wasn't the absence of desire.
  • 00:22:28.272 --> 00:22:31.342
  • It was the presence of endurance through suffering
  • 00:22:31.342 --> 00:22:35.079
  • Where the lord says, you know what, mike?
  • 00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:36.847
  • “there's nothing wrong with you
  • 00:22:36.847 --> 00:22:38.015
  • Feeling the need to be affirmed,
  • 00:22:38.015 --> 00:22:40.351
  • But it's you letting me bring it to you
  • 00:22:40.351 --> 00:22:42.720
  • Instead of you getting it on your own.”
  • 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.256
  • See, there's nothing wrong with you
  • 00:22:45.256 --> 00:22:46.590
  • Having a sexual desire,
  • 00:22:46.590 --> 00:22:47.992
  • But you dare not go meet that desire on your own.
  • 00:22:47.992 --> 00:22:51.028
  • Let the lord█ come on i█m talkin
  • 00:22:51.028 --> 00:22:52.663
  • Let the lord bring it to righteously be fulfilled
  • 00:22:52.663 --> 00:22:55.533
  • Through marriage.
  • 00:22:55.533 --> 00:22:56.400
  • There's nothing wrong with you
  • 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.501
  • Feeling the desire to have a ministry,
  • 00:22:57.501 --> 00:22:59.637
  • But you dare not go. do it on your own.
  • 00:22:59.637 --> 00:23:01.705
  • Let the lord bring█ see
  • 00:23:01.705 --> 00:23:03.207
  • And this is where the trust comes in.
  • 00:23:03.207 --> 00:23:04.975
  • Because i didn't know that
  • 00:23:04.975 --> 00:23:06.043
  • Literally, god was going to use john bevere
  • 00:23:06.043 --> 00:23:08.512
  • To say, i'm saying this as a dad.
  • 00:23:08.512 --> 00:23:10.047
  • And you know what?
  • 00:23:10.047 --> 00:23:10.681
  • He didn't have to do this.
  • 00:23:10.681 --> 00:23:11.682
  • But i'm sicilian and john bevere is sicilian.
  • 00:23:11.682 --> 00:23:14.919
  • And i know this sounds silly, but it's like
  • 00:23:14.919 --> 00:23:17.221
  • My dad was sicilian, my biological father.
  • 00:23:17.221 --> 00:23:20.224
  • So then i have john bevere,
  • 00:23:20.224 --> 00:23:21.759
  • Who's sicilian, and he even says, you know,
  • 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.828
  • “i know we're both italian
  • 00:23:23.828 --> 00:23:25.396
  • And i just feel like i need to say this as a daddy.”
  • 00:23:25.396 --> 00:23:27.631
  • And i'm like, oh, i mean, i got wrecked.
  • 00:23:27.631 --> 00:23:30.401
  • But what i'm saying is, it's when i said, “god,
  • 00:23:31.435 --> 00:23:34.672
  • Even if i never get
  • 00:23:34.672 --> 00:23:36.073
  • The affirmation, i'm still going to be faithful
  • 00:23:36.073 --> 00:23:39.109
  • And i'm still going to be obedient.”
  • 00:23:39.109 --> 00:23:40.678
  • And the lord says, “i'm
  • 00:23:40.678 --> 00:23:41.779
  • So good, i'm going to give you both,” oh
  • 00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:45.916
  • Come on.
  • 00:23:46.183 --> 00:23:47.284
  • Yeah, you can clap to that. you can celebrate that.
  • 00:23:47.284 --> 00:23:49.420
  • I'm so good. i'm going to give you both.
  • 00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:52.022
  • But when he fulfills it, it's a double portion.
  • 00:23:52.022 --> 00:23:55.059
  • Is there anybody who's believing
  • 00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:56.494
  • For a double portion?
  • 00:23:56.494 --> 00:23:57.862
  • Come on, lift your hands towards heaven.
  • 00:23:57.862 --> 00:23:59.697
  • Come on.
  • 00:23:59.697 --> 00:24:00.664
  • This has been an anointed message for you.
  • 00:24:00.664 --> 00:24:03.033
  • Say this with me, heavenly father,
  • 00:24:03.033 --> 00:24:05.669
  • I will be faithful without feedback.
  • 00:24:05.669 --> 00:24:09.240
  • And i thank you for a double portion
  • 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:13.043
  • And a blessing because you are faithful to the faithful.
  • 00:24:13.043 --> 00:24:18.582
  • I would love to meet you in person
  • 00:24:18.582 --> 00:24:21.218
  • As we retrace the steps of the apostle paul
  • 00:24:21.218 --> 00:24:24.722
  • On an unforgettable journey through greece and turkey.
  • 00:24:24.722 --> 00:24:28.492
  • It█s going to be a five-star exp

  • 00:24:30.661 --> 00:24:32.930
  • But also a cruise
  • 00:24:32.930 --> 00:24:34.565
  • And we█re going to go to the very places that scripture
  • 00:24:34.565 --> 00:24:37.034
  • Was written
  • 00:24:37.034 --> 00:24:38.202
  • Including patmos
  • 00:24:38.202 --> 00:24:39.637
  • Including patmos where the book of revelation was written
  • 00:24:39.637 --> 00:24:41.772
  • By john.
  • 00:24:41.772 --> 00:24:42.673
  • I cannot wait to meet you in per
  • 00:24:42.673 --> 00:24:44.775

  • So you have to make the decision now.
  • 00:24:48.445 --> 00:24:50.614
  • The information█s here on the screen.
  • 00:24:50.614 --> 00:24:52.883

  • I want to pray with you at these locations.

  • You know, i've seen medically
  • 00:25:34.625 --> 00:25:35.926
  • Verifiable miracles all around the world.
  • 00:25:35.926 --> 00:25:38.429
  • I want to pray for you.
  • 00:25:38.429 --> 00:25:39.630
  • I've actually seen people delivered from demons in moments
  • 00:25:39.630 --> 00:25:43.701
  • But the greatest miracle is salvation.
  • 00:25:42.833 --> 00:25:45.469
  • It's when someone who's dead in their sin, literally
  • 00:25:45.469 --> 00:25:48.505
  • Headed to hell, is saved by jesus christ
  • 00:25:48.505 --> 00:25:51.508
  • And made to be alive and headed to heaven.
  • 00:25:51.508 --> 00:25:55.346
  • And that can happen if you do what
  • 00:25:54.545 --> 00:25:56.547
  • Romans 10:9 says,
  • 00:25:56.547 --> 00:26:01.852
  • We don█t earn it, we don█t deserve it
  • 00:26:02.686 --> 00:26:05.222
  • We just receive it.
  • 00:26:05.222 --> 00:26:06.624
  • So i want you to repeat these words with me
  • 00:26:06.624 --> 00:26:08.926
  • Because i don't believe in accidents.
  • 00:26:08.926 --> 00:26:10.494
  • And the holy spirit's been drawing you.
  • 00:26:10.494 --> 00:26:12.429
  • Say it with me.
  • 00:26:12.429 --> 00:26:13.597
  • Heavenly father,
  • 00:26:13.597 --> 00:26:14.865

  • Wash me with your blood.
  • 00:26:18.435 --> 00:26:20.938
