| Mike Signorelli - Journey with Jesus (Part 2) | March 3, 2026
- 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
- 00:24:28.492 --> 00:24:30.661
- With, not only incredible hotels
- 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
- But seats are limited although they█re still available
- 00:24:44.775 --> 00:24:48.445
- 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
- Go ahead and take advantage of an experience
- 00:24:52.883 --> 00:24:55.853
- That will last a lifetime.
- 00:24:55.853 --> 00:24:57.688
- I want to pray with you at these locations.
- 00:24:57.688 --> 00:25:00.024
- As we invite the presence of the holy spirit
- 00:25:00.024 --> 00:25:02.660
- I want to teach you exactly what was happening in culture
- 00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:06.063
- As the scriptures were written.
- 00:25:06.063 --> 00:25:07.665
- I want to have some incredible m together, with you.
- 00:25:07.665 --> 00:25:11.068
- It█s going to be amazing!
- 00:25:11.068 --> 00:25:13.137
- But i need you to make that decision now
- 00:25:13.137 --> 00:25:15.339
- Before all of the seats are gone
- 00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:18.142
- It█s going to be amazing and i can█t wait to meet you.
- 00:25:18.142 --> 00:25:21.078
- Go ahead make that decision to retrace the steps
- 00:25:21.078 --> 00:25:24.915
- Of the apostle paul with mike signorelli
- 00:25:24.915 --> 00:25:28.152
- On tour.
- 00:25:28.152 --> 00:25:28.986
- Can█t wait to see you there!
- 00:25:28.986 --> 00:25:31.655
- In a few moments, i want to pray for you.
- 00:25:32.489 --> 00:25:34.625
- 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
- I thank you for the cross where my sins were forgiven.
- 00:26:14.865 --> 00:26:19.036
- Wash me with your blood.
- 00:26:18.435 --> 00:26:20.938
- I am a disciple.
- 00:26:20.938 --> 00:26:22.773
- I surrender my life completely
- 00:26:22.773 --> 00:26:25.075
- And i will follow you on the narrow road in jesus█ nam
- 00:26:25.075 --> 00:26:29.580
- Come on, say it boldly. amen.
- 00:26:29.580 --> 00:26:31.982
- Well, i'm so glad that you just made that decision
- 00:26:31.982 --> 00:26:34.385
- To give your life to jesus.
- 00:26:34.385 --> 00:26:35.953
- I would actually like to help yo on your journey as a disciple.
- 00:26:35.953 --> 00:26:40.424
- And if you scan the qr code, we will immediately send you
- 00:26:39.223 --> 00:26:43.293
- A free prayer guide
- 00:26:42.793 --> 00:26:44.695
- That will actually
- 00:26:44.695 --> 00:26:45.863
- Give you access to prayers for anxiety and just different
- 00:26:45.863 --> 00:26:49.433
- Physical conditions you might be struggling with
- 00:26:49.433 --> 00:26:51.669
- And it's a great resource and a tool.
- 00:26:51.669 --> 00:26:54.104
- As a matter of fact, we also have prayer team members
- 00:26:54.104 --> 00:26:56.573
- That are standing by waiting for you to reach out, no
- 00:26:56.573 --> 00:26:59.343
- I'll see you in the next episode.
- 00:26:59.343 --> 00:27:02.613
- Jesus said in matthew 7,
- 00:27:03.147 --> 00:27:03.147
