| Mike Signorelli - Mount of Olives | May 5, 2026
  • - this path is already narrow
  • 00:00:00.728 --> 00:00:02.596
  • And we will forge forward making no excuse
  • 00:00:02.596 --> 00:00:05.533
  • For why we can live uncompromised in this generation.
  • 00:00:05.533 --> 00:00:09.070
  • - lock - in, gimme a hundred people who will walk
  • 00:00:09.070 --> 00:00:12.907
  • That narrow road
  • 00:00:12.907 --> 00:00:14.308
  • And say, i may have some things in my family,
  • 00:00:14.308 --> 00:00:17.678
  • But i█m where it runs out.
  • 00:00:17.678 --> 00:00:20.915
  • I am standing on the mount of olives.
  • 00:00:21.682 --> 00:00:24.652
  • And this mountain is, is not just scenery,
  • 00:00:24.652 --> 00:00:27.521
  • It's an actual spiritual threshold.
  • 00:00:27.521 --> 00:00:30.157
  • It's the place where heaven touches earth, literally
  • 00:00:30.157 --> 00:00:33.527
  • Where prophecy bends time,
  • 00:00:33.527 --> 00:00:35.996
  • And where jesus revealed
  • 00:00:35.996 --> 00:00:37.531
  • Who he really is more clearly than anywhere else.
  • 00:00:37.531 --> 00:00:42.069
  • From here, you can actually see jerusalem.
  • 00:00:42.069 --> 00:00:44.872
  • You can see the temple mount.
  • 00:00:44.872 --> 00:00:46.674
  • You can see over my shoulder, the eastern gate,
  • 00:00:46.674 --> 00:00:49.310
  • And every one of them is part of a divine pattern.
  • 00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:52.480
  • I'm going to reveal to you in a few moments.
  • 00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:55.316
  • Nothing here is accidental.
  • 00:00:55.316 --> 00:00:57.585
  • This is an incredibly important message for you.
  • 00:00:57.585 --> 00:01:00.454
  • So i need you to lean into this.
  • 00:01:00.454 --> 00:01:02.723
  • You know, the name mount of olives is not just poetic,
  • 00:01:02.723 --> 00:01:06.494
  • It is prophetic.
  • 00:01:06.494 --> 00:01:08.295
  • Olives must be crushed in order to release oil.
  • 00:01:08.295 --> 00:01:11.298
  • I know you've heard that before.
  • 00:01:11.298 --> 00:01:13.134
  • And oil and scripture, here's what it represents.
  • 00:01:13.134 --> 00:01:15.870
  • It represents anointing light.
  • 00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:18.339
  • It represents healing consecration
  • 00:01:18.339 --> 00:01:21.142
  • And the spirit of the living god.
  • 00:01:21.142 --> 00:01:23.444
  • Jesus did not pray his hardest prayers in the city.
  • 00:01:23.444 --> 00:01:27.081
  • He actually prayed them from here, right here.
  • 00:01:27.081 --> 00:01:30.117
  • Luke chapter 22 tells us that jesus came to the mount
  • 00:01:30.117 --> 00:01:33.988
  • Of olives, as was his custom.
  • 00:01:33.988 --> 00:01:36.690
  • This was not a one-time visit.
  • 00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:38.692
  • This was his place of perpetual return.
  • 00:01:38.692 --> 00:01:42.096
  • And just beneath this mountain is a garden
  • 00:01:42.096 --> 00:01:44.398
  • Called gethsemane.
  • 00:01:44.398 --> 00:01:46.000
  • And actually gethsemane means the oil press
  • 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.336
  • Before the cross, there was the crushing come on.
  • 00:01:49.336 --> 00:01:53.207
  • And before blood flowed from his hands,
  • 00:01:53.207 --> 00:01:56.143
  • Sweat actually fell from his brow like drops of blood.
  • 00:01:56.143 --> 00:02:00.581
  • Thi this mountain reveals the truth that many don't want
  • 00:02:00.581 --> 00:02:03.817
  • To hear, but but need to hear.
  • 00:02:03.817 --> 00:02:05.653
  • Glory is released through pressure. come on.
  • 00:02:05.653 --> 00:02:09.156
  • I feel the power of god all over this message already
  • 00:02:09.156 --> 00:02:12.126
  • Because we have a king who actually wept from this mountain.
  • 00:02:12.126 --> 00:02:16.564
  • Jesus. he looked at jerusalem and luke chapter 19 says,
  • 00:02:16.564 --> 00:02:21.368
  • And, and when he drew near
  • 00:02:21.368 --> 00:02:23.504
  • And saw the city, this very view, he wept over it.
  • 00:02:23.504 --> 00:02:27.908
  • He didn't weep because he would be rejected.
  • 00:02:27.908 --> 00:02:31.712
  • He wept because they didn't recognize the time
  • 00:02:31.712 --> 00:02:35.049
  • Of their visitation by messiah.
  • 00:02:35.049 --> 00:02:37.351
  • I mean, jerusalem knew scripture, they knew prophecy,
  • 00:02:37.351 --> 00:02:40.354
  • They knew religion, but they didn't know him.
  • 00:02:40.354 --> 00:02:43.991
  • They missed him. and here is the warning
  • 00:02:43.991 --> 00:02:47.094
  • Of the mount of olives.
  • 00:02:47.094 --> 00:02:48.429
  • Prophetically you can be close to holy things
  • 00:02:48.429 --> 00:02:51.832
  • And still miss the holy one.
  • 00:02:51.832 --> 00:02:54.168
  • I mean, jesus did not weep over pagans.
  • 00:02:54.168 --> 00:02:57.771
  • He wept over the religious who were blind to
  • 00:02:57.771 --> 00:03:00.841
  • What was really being fulfilled right before them.
  • 00:03:00.841 --> 00:03:04.111
  • You know, as we continue
  • 00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:06.213
  • To go deeper on this journey together, i mean, this is
  • 00:03:06.213 --> 00:03:08.649
  • So powerful because this mountain carries ancient prophecy.
  • 00:03:08.649 --> 00:03:12.987
  • Zechariah the prophet in the 14th chapter says on that day,
  • 00:03:12.987 --> 00:03:17.725
  • His feet shall stand on the mount of olives that lies
  • 00:03:17.725 --> 00:03:21.428
  • Between jerusalem on the east.
  • 00:03:21.428 --> 00:03:23.731
  • I mean, that means something staggering.
  • 00:03:23.731 --> 00:03:26.133
  • If you understand, let me unpack.
  • 00:03:26.133 --> 00:03:28.102
  • Jesus ascended from this very mountain,
  • 00:03:28.102 --> 00:03:31.272
  • And he will return to this mountain.
  • 00:03:31.272 --> 00:03:33.307
  • I mean, right here, acts chapter one tells us that
  • 00:03:33.307 --> 00:03:36.310
  • As the disciples watched him, ascend, angels said,
  • 00:03:36.310 --> 00:03:40.147
  • This same jesus will come in the same way
  • 00:03:40.147 --> 00:03:43.617
  • That you saw him go.
  • 00:03:43.617 --> 00:03:45.252
  • Not symbolically, not spiritually, only physically,
  • 00:03:45.252 --> 00:03:49.923
  • Geographically,
  • 00:03:49.923 --> 00:03:51.425
  • And historically, come on, this should get you excited.
  • 00:03:51.425 --> 00:03:54.528
  • The mount of olives is the hinge of history.
  • 00:03:54.528 --> 00:03:57.665
  • It is the mountain of departure, the mountain of promise,
  • 00:03:57.665 --> 00:04:01.402
  • But it's also the mountain of return.
  • 00:04:01.402 --> 00:04:03.671
  • Come on. and i say, lord, come quickly, return quickly.
  • 00:04:03.671 --> 00:04:07.441
  • And, and so i, i really feel
  • 00:04:07.441 --> 00:04:10.044
  • That we are near than we've ever been.
  • 00:04:10.044 --> 00:04:11.712
  • And many people feel that it was here on this mountain,
  • 00:04:11.712 --> 00:04:14.748
  • That jesus delivered what we now call the all of
  • 00:04:14.748 --> 00:04:17.985
  • That disco discourse in matthew 24, mark 13,
  • 00:04:17.985 --> 00:04:22.156
  • And luke 21 from this exact ridge, jesus,
  • 00:04:22.156 --> 00:04:25.826
  • He spoke about the destruction of the temple wars
  • 00:04:25.826 --> 00:04:29.063
  • And rumors of wars, deception, many false christ rising up,
  • 00:04:29.063 --> 00:04:34.001
  • Global shaking, the coming of the son of man.
  • 00:04:34.001 --> 00:04:37.471
  • It was all spoken
  • 00:04:37.471 --> 00:04:38.639
  • And declared from this space
  • 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.407
  • That this was not fear-based preaching.
  • 00:04:40.407 --> 00:04:42.843
  • This was clarity in chaos. come on.
  • 00:04:42.843 --> 00:04:46.046
  • Jesus wasn't trying to scare his disciples.
  • 00:04:46.046 --> 00:04:48.949
  • He was trying to prepare them to anchor them.
  • 00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:52.186
  • And that's why he tells them in his own words,
  • 00:04:52.186 --> 00:04:54.822
  • Do not be alarmed.
  • 00:04:54.822 --> 00:04:57.091
  • Come on. in other words, when the world starts shaking,
  • 00:04:57.091 --> 00:05:00.894
  • When the unprepared are panicking, come on,
  • 00:05:00.894 --> 00:05:03.964
  • The prepared are ready to receive.
  • 00:05:03.964 --> 00:05:06.633
  • You know, the amount of olives teaches us
  • 00:05:06.633 --> 00:05:08.969
  • That prophecy is not necessarily about dates.
  • 00:05:08.969 --> 00:05:12.606
  • It's about discernment of dates.
  • 00:05:12.606 --> 00:05:15.209
  • And we must increase in our discernment spiritually.
  • 00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:19.413
  • And that's why i'm here right now.
  • 00:05:19.413 --> 00:05:21.482
  • Every major moment connected to this mountain is a choice.
  • 00:05:21.482 --> 00:05:26.186
  • It's you stand in the crossroads.
  • 00:05:26.186 --> 00:05:27.921
  • Even watching this right now, will you watch or sleep?
  • 00:05:27.921 --> 00:05:31.525
  • Will you discern or be deceived? will you endure?
  • 00:05:31.525 --> 00:05:35.529
  • Or are you going to fall away?
  • 00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:37.464
  • Because jesus says, watch,
  • 00:05:37.464 --> 00:05:39.333
  • Therefore for you, do not know on
  • 00:05:39.333 --> 00:05:41.902
  • What day your lord is coming.
  • 00:05:41.902 --> 00:05:44.538
  • Watching in scripture does not need me just staring in the
  • 00:05:44.538 --> 00:05:47.641
  • Sky, right?
  • 00:05:47.641 --> 00:05:49.076
  • It, it means living wide awake.
  • 00:05:49.076 --> 00:05:51.879
  • It means living with urgency, with holiness
  • 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.282
  • And living with compassion.
  • 00:05:55.282 --> 00:05:57.184
  • The cross, the amount of olives,
  • 00:05:57.184 --> 00:05:59.019
  • It confronts comfortable christianity.
  • 00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:01.688
  • And it basically tells us this is not a spectator faith.
  • 00:06:01.688 --> 00:06:05.392
  • This is a preparation faith, living in anticipation
  • 00:06:05.392 --> 00:06:09.997
  • Of him using you to fulfill the great commission
  • 00:06:09.997 --> 00:06:13.100
  • And lead the lost to the cross at any cause.
  • 00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:16.069
  • Come on from here. you can see the eastern gate.
  • 00:06:16.069 --> 00:06:18.672
  • I mean, it's right over my shoulder.
  • 00:06:18.672 --> 00:06:20.340
  • And it's been sealed shut for centuries. why?
  • 00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:24.311
  • The old jewish tradition says
  • 00:06:24.311 --> 00:06:25.813
  • That the messiah would enter right through it.
  • 00:06:25.813 --> 00:06:28.882
  • And and here's the staggering truth.
  • 00:06:28.882 --> 00:06:32.052
  • First of all, jesus already did.
  • 00:06:32.686 --> 00:06:34.521
  • He on palm sunday, he descended from this mountain.
  • 00:06:34.521 --> 00:06:38.392
  • He crossed the kidron valley and he entered jerusalem.
  • 00:06:38.392 --> 00:06:42.329
  • I mean, the gate is closed
  • 00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:44.298
  • Because history al already recorded its king.
  • 00:06:44.298 --> 00:06:47.201
  • In any attempt to stop, it will not prevail.
  • 00:06:47.201 --> 00:06:50.604
  • And one day it's gonna open again supernaturally.
  • 00:06:50.604 --> 00:06:53.707
  • I believe that god is gonna fulfill that prophecy.
  • 00:06:53.707 --> 00:06:57.110
  • You know, the mount of olive, it's olives.
  • 00:06:57.110 --> 00:07:00.314
  • It sits between the city of man and the promise of god.
  • 00:07:00.314 --> 00:07:04.751
  • I'm, i'm speaking spiritually right now.
  • 00:07:04.751 --> 00:07:07.154
  • It, it truly sits between earthly power
  • 00:07:07.154 --> 00:07:10.791
  • And heavenly authority.
  • 00:07:10.791 --> 00:07:12.459
  • I mean, this is where they collide.
  • 00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:14.394
  • It, it sits between rejection and return.
  • 00:07:14.394 --> 00:07:18.899
  • I mean, it's simply undeniable
  • 00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:21.001
  • That jesus chose this mountain
  • 00:07:21.001 --> 00:07:23.070
  • Because it represents the in-between.
  • 00:07:23.070 --> 00:07:25.772
  • And many of us, we actually, we live there.
  • 00:07:25.772 --> 00:07:28.609
  • We, we live in the in-between, between promise
  • 00:07:28.609 --> 00:07:31.478
  • And fulfillment, between calling
  • 00:07:31.478 --> 00:07:33.614
  • And cost, paying the cost between pressure and oil.
  • 00:07:33.614 --> 00:07:37.818
  • I mean, we live there.
  • 00:07:37.818 --> 00:07:39.386
  • And so there's a question that this mountain is asking you.
  • 00:07:39.386 --> 00:07:42.656
  • There's, there's a important question for your life.
  • 00:07:42.656 --> 00:07:45.659
  • And jesus, he stood here knowing
  • 00:07:45.659 --> 00:07:47.794
  • That he was gonna be betrayed,
  • 00:07:47.794 --> 00:07:49.530
  • That he was actually gonna be beaten,
  • 00:07:49.530 --> 00:07:51.465
  • That he was gonna be crucified.
  • 00:07:51.465 --> 00:07:53.567
  • And still he stayed faithful.
  • 00:07:53.567 --> 00:07:56.136
  • I'm so thankful that he was faithful.
  • 00:07:56.136 --> 00:07:58.872
  • The amount of olives it, it does not ask. do you believe it?
  • 00:07:58.872 --> 00:08:02.576
  • Asked, will you remain?
  • 00:08:02.576 --> 00:08:05.812
  • Will you remain when it's crushing?
  • 00:08:05.812 --> 00:08:08.115
  • Will you remain when it's confusing?
  • 00:08:08.115 --> 00:08:10.617
  • Will you remain when the world is absolutely
  • 00:08:10.617 --> 00:08:13.453
  • Shaking all around you?
  • 00:08:13.453 --> 00:08:15.088
  • Because oil only flows when olives are actually pressed.
  • 00:08:15.088 --> 00:08:19.293
  • Come on. we are in a season of great pressing right now.
  • 00:08:19.293 --> 00:08:23.463
  • But the oil of the anointing is gonna be flow. come on.
  • 00:08:23.463 --> 00:08:26.433
  • It is gonna flow from this mountain, jesus ascended
  • 00:08:26.433 --> 00:08:29.703
  • To heaven, to this mountain.
  • 00:08:29.703 --> 00:08:31.438
  • Jesus will return.
  • 00:08:31.438 --> 00:08:33.073
  • And until that day, we are called to live awake.
  • 00:08:33.073 --> 00:08:36.610
  • We're called to live faithful.
  • 00:08:36.610 --> 00:08:38.378
  • And we're called to live full of oil.
  • 00:08:38.378 --> 00:08:40.414
  • Come on, this reminds us history. it's not random.
  • 00:08:40.414 --> 00:08:43.850
  • Suffering is not wasted. and jesus is not finished.
  • 00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:48.288
  • And if he was faithful here, he will be faithful again.
  • 00:08:48.288 --> 00:08:52.526
  • The king is coming back
  • 00:08:52.526 --> 00:08:54.595
  • And his feet will touch this mountain once more.
  • 00:08:54.595 --> 00:08:58.031
  • And come on. do you believe that?
  • 00:08:58.031 --> 00:09:00.100
  • I'm, i'm getting so excited just even thinking about this.
  • 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:04.304
  • Here's what i want you to do.
  • 00:09:04.304 --> 00:09:05.872
  • I want you in the, in this, this moment of decision to say,
  • 00:09:05.872 --> 00:09:10.344
  • I'm going all the way.
  • 00:09:10.344 --> 00:09:11.878
  • I mean this. this represents a decision that christ made
  • 00:09:11.878 --> 00:09:14.715
  • To say, hey, while you were yet a sinner,
  • 00:09:14.715 --> 00:09:17.084
  • I'm gonna put my love on the line.
  • 00:09:17.084 --> 00:09:18.919
  • And i'm going all the way.
  • 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.520
  • And because he went all the way,
  • 00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:22.222
  • We can go all the way as well.
  • 00:09:22.222 --> 00:09:23.991
  • All the way to what? all the way to our cross dying,
  • 00:09:23.991 --> 00:09:27.227
  • To self dying, to our selfishness and our own desires.
  • 00:09:27.227 --> 00:09:30.998
  • But guess what? those
  • 00:09:30.998 --> 00:09:32.499
  • Who share in his death also share in his resurrection.
  • 00:09:32.499 --> 00:09:36.403
  • Come on. and as he returns,
  • 00:09:36.403 --> 00:09:39.606
  • So shall we ascend with him.
  • 00:09:39.606 --> 00:09:41.675
  • So i wanna pray right now. come on.

  • 00:09:51.284 --> 00:09:54.688
  • Lord, that the prophecies will be fulfilled
  • 00:09:54.688 --> 00:09:57.624
  • And nothing was in what?
  • 00:09:57.624 --> 00:09:59.226
  • In vain. and god, i thank you for the crushing of our lives
  • 00:09:59.226 --> 00:10:02.963
  • That reveals the oil that begins to pour, that causes us
  • 00:10:02.963 --> 00:10:06.733
  • To break through every obstacle, every barrier, lord,
  • 00:10:06.733 --> 00:10:10.103
  • To go all the way through what you've destined
  • 00:10:10.103 --> 00:10:12.739

  • Amen. amen.
  • 00:10:28.455 --> 00:10:30.424
  • - jesus said in matthew seven, narrow is the gate
  • 00:10:30.424 --> 00:10:34.027
  • And difficult is the way that leads to life.
  • 00:10:34.027 --> 00:10:37.230
  • In a world that celebrates compromise, god calls us
  • 00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:40.701
  • To live set apart, to walk the narrow way with courage,
  • 00:10:40.701 --> 00:10:45.372
  • Conviction, and faith.
