- 00:00:00.227 --> 00:00:01.829
- Is brought to you in part by partners
- 00:00:01.829 --> 00:00:03.397
- Of mike signorelli ministries and viewers like you.
- 00:00:03.397 --> 00:00:06.467
- Of mike signorelli ministries and viewers like you,
- 00:00:06.467 --> 00:00:07.835
- And so in your life there is a box, there is a parameter
- 00:00:07.835 --> 00:00:11.272
- That satan has put you in, that the world has put you in,
- 00:00:11.272 --> 00:00:15.042
- That your family has put you in,
- 00:00:15.042 --> 00:00:17.211
- And your purpose will be found in doing the thing
- 00:00:17.211 --> 00:00:20.047
- That breaks you outta that box.
- 00:00:20.047 --> 00:00:21.982
- Because we've become so dysfunctional in our faith
- 00:00:21.982 --> 00:00:24.718
- That we become a christian
- 00:00:24.718 --> 00:00:26.587
- And we actually stop going into the very places
- 00:00:26.587 --> 00:00:29.623
- That jesus would go into.
- 00:00:29.623 --> 00:00:31.592
- And if you were his disciple, he would make you go with him.
- 00:00:31.592 --> 00:00:35.629
- The nature of is
- 00:00:35.629 --> 00:00:37.364
- To walk right into the places he's not supposed to go
- 00:00:37.364 --> 00:00:41.135
- And to do the things he's not supposed to do.
- 00:00:41.135 --> 00:00:44.138
- Your christian life will be so unsatisfying
- 00:00:44.138 --> 00:00:48.309
- If you don't become like jesus
- 00:00:48.309 --> 00:00:50.744
- And do the things
- 00:00:50.744 --> 00:00:52.079
- That the devil doesn't think that you'll do.
- 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.816
- This path is already narrow
- 00:00:55.816 --> 00:00:57.685
- And we will forge forward, making no excuse
- 00:00:57.685 --> 00:01:00.621
- For why we can live uncompromised in this generation.
- 00:01:00.621 --> 00:01:04.125
- Lock in, hit me a hundred people who will walk
- 00:01:04.125 --> 00:01:07.962
- That narrow road
- 00:01:07.962 --> 00:01:09.363
- And say, i may have some things in my family,
- 00:01:09.363 --> 00:01:12.733
- But i've where it runs out.
- 00:01:12.733 --> 00:01:17.438
- I've been following jesus for over 25 years
- 00:01:18.339 --> 00:01:21.342
- And i've been studying the scriptures
- 00:01:21.342 --> 00:01:23.310
- And all of a sudden this pattern just leapt up
- 00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:26.080
- Off the pages.
- 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.381
- And i suddenly saw the nature of jesus in a way
- 00:01:27.381 --> 00:01:31.118
- That i never saw it before.
- 00:01:31.118 --> 00:01:32.887
- And so i'm gonna take you through this pattern
- 00:01:32.887 --> 00:01:35.556
- And show you how it relates to your life,
- 00:01:35.556 --> 00:01:37.658
- Because it's extremely profound
- 00:01:37.658 --> 00:01:39.927
- And you're going to experience freedom if you
- 00:01:39.927 --> 00:01:42.496
- Get this revelation.
- 00:01:42.496 --> 00:01:44.098
- So first off, kings are supposed to be born
- 00:01:44.098 --> 00:01:47.501
- And raised in palaces.
- 00:01:47.501 --> 00:01:49.203
- I mean, that's, that's where kings are born
- 00:01:49.203 --> 00:01:51.472
- And raised in that type of environment.
- 00:01:51.472 --> 00:01:53.274
- It's lavish. and yet you see in luke chapter two,
- 00:01:53.274 --> 00:01:56.343
- Verse seven, it says, and mary gave birth to a firstborn son
- 00:01:56.343 --> 00:02:00.347
- And wrapped him in swaddling clothes
- 00:02:00.347 --> 00:02:02.483
- And then laid him in a manger.
- 00:02:02.483 --> 00:02:04.218
- So 2000 years ago,
- 00:02:04.218 --> 00:02:05.486
- This manger was probably a stone feeding trough.
- 00:02:05.486 --> 00:02:08.923
- And so you have this king, the king of the world
- 00:02:08.923 --> 00:02:12.726
- As a baby being laid into a, a stone feeding trough.
- 00:02:12.726 --> 00:02:16.897
- I have kids.
- 00:02:16.897 --> 00:02:18.532
- And when you have your first baby,
- 00:02:18.532 --> 00:02:20.634
- This is the natural human instinct is you
- 00:02:20.634 --> 00:02:23.571
- Want the best for them.
- 00:02:23.571 --> 00:02:25.105
- I remember driving 20 miles an hour in a 60 mile an hour
- 00:02:25.105 --> 00:02:28.442
- Road because i was so afraid that something was gonna happen
- 00:02:28.442 --> 00:02:31.345
- To bella, you know?
- 00:02:31.345 --> 00:02:32.880
- And so the idea of this being, you know, mary gives birth
- 00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:36.884
- To jesus and has to put him in a feeding trough is crazy,
- 00:02:36.884 --> 00:02:41.355
- But okay, but follow this pattern
- 00:02:41.355 --> 00:02:43.023
- 'cause it goes deeper, then jesus grows older.
- 00:02:43.023 --> 00:02:46.493
- And in matthew chapter nine, verse 10, it says,
- 00:02:46.493 --> 00:02:49.296
- As jesus reclined at a table in the house,
- 00:02:49.296 --> 00:02:52.700
- Behold many tax collectors and sinners came
- 00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:56.270
- And were reclining with jesus and his disciples.
- 00:02:56.270 --> 00:02:59.240
- So jesus is older now,
- 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.908
- And he's at this table, he's reclining in a house
- 00:03:00.908 --> 00:03:03.944
- And pharisees as,
- 00:03:03.944 --> 00:03:05.713
- And they're watching him judging, why would you hang out
- 00:03:05.713 --> 00:03:08.716
- With the people that we hate?
- 00:03:08.716 --> 00:03:10.451
- And, and it says this, the pharisees were so confused
- 00:03:10.451 --> 00:03:13.053
- And they said, why does this teacher eat
- 00:03:13.053 --> 00:03:14.655
- With tax collectors and sinner?
- 00:03:14.655 --> 00:03:16.724
- So there, this is like the manger.
- 00:03:16.724 --> 00:03:20.027
- It's jesus where he's not supposed to be,
- 00:03:20.027 --> 00:03:23.464
- Because religious leaders at that time were,
- 00:03:23.464 --> 00:03:27.034
- They viewed themselves as too holy to be
- 00:03:27.034 --> 00:03:29.136
- With sinners too holy to be.
- 00:03:29.136 --> 00:03:31.338
- And tax collectors would take advantage of them.
- 00:03:31.338 --> 00:03:33.741
- So it would be like i'm crossing the boundary to go be
- 00:03:33.741 --> 00:03:36.844
- With the people that society tells me i'm
- 00:03:36.844 --> 00:03:39.580
- Not supposed to be with.
- 00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:41.015
- So it's, i'm at the sinner's house.
- 00:03:41.015 --> 00:03:43.017
- Now, this is a side note.
- 00:03:43.017 --> 00:03:44.418
- Some of you need to learn how to go
- 00:03:44.418 --> 00:03:45.786
- To the sinner's house without sinning.
- 00:03:45.786 --> 00:03:47.855
- Jesus hung with sinners. he didn't sin with sinners.
- 00:03:48.922 --> 00:03:51.959
- Hello
- 00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:53.427
- When it says, don't fellowship with darkness,
- 00:03:53.427 --> 00:03:55.362
- It means don't sin with sinners.
- 00:03:55.362 --> 00:03:56.830
- But it doesn't mean don't sit with them.
- 00:03:56.830 --> 00:03:58.766
- As a matter of fact, we should sit with them
- 00:03:59.667 --> 00:04:02.069
- Because your christian clique is stopping you from
- 00:04:02.069 --> 00:04:04.672
- Fulfilling the great commission.
- 00:04:04.672 --> 00:04:06.974
- Okay, let's keep going.
- 00:04:06.974 --> 00:04:08.509
- In matthew chapter 14, verse 25, it says in the fourth watch
- 00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:12.212
- Of the night, there came, he came to them.
- 00:04:12.212 --> 00:04:15.049
- I love that. and jesus came to them in a storm.
- 00:04:15.049 --> 00:04:18.686
- How many of you have ever had jesus come
- 00:04:18.686 --> 00:04:20.821
- To you even when you didn't come to jesus?
- 00:04:20.821 --> 00:04:23.657
- Come on. he showed up in the midnight hour.
- 00:04:23.657 --> 00:04:26.293
- He showed up while you were crying.
- 00:04:26.293 --> 00:04:28.062
- He showed up when you were desperate.
- 00:04:28.062 --> 00:04:29.997
- But it's crazy because when storms happen in the natural
- 00:04:29.997 --> 00:04:33.767
- Realm, what do we do?
- 00:04:33.767 --> 00:04:35.135
- We, we pull our covers up, we put our show on,
- 00:04:35.135 --> 00:04:38.205
- We doom scroll on our phone.
- 00:04:38.205 --> 00:04:39.940
- But when a storm happens in the natural,
- 00:04:39.940 --> 00:04:42.276
- Jesus does the opposite.
- 00:04:42.276 --> 00:04:43.777
- He goes out and walks on the water.
- 00:04:43.777 --> 00:04:46.413
- So there's something about the nature of jesus.
- 00:04:46.413 --> 00:04:48.882
- And then if you look in mark chapter five, verses one
- 00:04:48.882 --> 00:04:51.585
- And two, most of us would skip over this
- 00:04:51.585 --> 00:04:54.088
- And not even understand the significance of it.
- 00:04:54.088 --> 00:04:56.190
- I'm gonna read it. and then jesus, it says, jesus
- 00:04:56.190 --> 00:04:59.059
- And the disciples, they came to the other side of the sea,
- 00:04:59.059 --> 00:05:03.163
- And when they arrived there, jesus steps out of the boat.
- 00:05:03.163 --> 00:05:07.101
- And immediately there basically was a man
- 00:05:07.101 --> 00:05:10.504
- With an unclean spirit that came to him.
- 00:05:10.504 --> 00:05:12.740
- Now, i was just recently in israel,
- 00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:15.342
- And as i was in israel, this tour guide said, hey.
- 00:05:15.342 --> 00:05:19.213
- 'cause i told him, i was like, i don't really want to go
- 00:05:19.213 --> 00:05:20.748
- To this place that was on our list.
- 00:05:20.748 --> 00:05:22.282
- It's, it's kind of bogus, you know, i'm not feeling it.
- 00:05:22.282 --> 00:05:24.651
- And he was just like, oh, i got a place
- 00:05:24.651 --> 00:05:26.520
- That i think you'll really like.
- 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:27.821
- And i said, where? he said, you know,
- 00:05:27.821 --> 00:05:29.356
- When jesus cast the demons out of the man into the pigs,
- 00:05:29.356 --> 00:05:32.626
- And they went into the water, i know where that spot's at.
- 00:05:32.626 --> 00:05:35.462
- And i said, ooh, take me there. i'm a demon slayer.
- 00:05:35.462 --> 00:05:37.765
- Like, i gotta see this.
- 00:05:37.765 --> 00:05:39.366
- I would love to meet you in person as we retrace the steps
- 00:05:40.534 --> 00:05:44.705
- Of the apostle paul on an unforgettable journey
- 00:05:44.705 --> 00:05:48.075
- Through greece and turkey.
- 00:05:48.075 --> 00:05:49.877
- It's gonna be a five star experience
- 00:05:49.877 --> 00:05:52.279
- With not only incredible hotels, but also a cruise.
- 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.049
- And we're gonna go to the very places
- 00:05:56.049 --> 00:05:57.951
- That scripture was written, including patmos, where the book
- 00:05:57.951 --> 00:06:01.555
- Of revelation was written by john.
- 00:06:01.555 --> 00:06:04.124
- I cannot wait to meet you in person, but seats are limited,
- 00:06:04.124 --> 00:06:07.895
- Although they're still available.
- 00:06:07.895 --> 00:06:09.797
- So you have to make the decision now.
- 00:06:09.797 --> 00:06:12.266
- The information's here on the screen.
- 00:06:12.266 --> 00:06:14.268
- Go ahead and take advantage of an experience
- 00:06:14.268 --> 00:06:17.137
- That will last a lifetime.
- 00:06:17.137 --> 00:06:18.972
- I wanna pray with you at these locations
- 00:06:18.972 --> 00:06:21.408
- As we invite the presence of the holy spirit.
- 00:06:21.408 --> 00:06:24.111
- I want to teach you exactly what was happening in culture
- 00:06:24.111 --> 00:06:27.481
- As the scriptures were written.
- 00:06:27.481 --> 00:06:29.183
- I wanna have some incredible meals together with you.
- 00:06:29.183 --> 00:06:32.453
- It's going to be amazing.
- 00:06:32.453 --> 00:06:34.588
- But i need you to make that decision now
- 00:06:34.588 --> 00:06:36.590
- Before all of the seats are gone.
- 00:06:36.590 --> 00:06:39.426
- It's gonna be amazing, and i can't wait to meet you.
- 00:06:39.426 --> 00:06:42.563
- Go ahead, make that decision to retrace the steps
- 00:06:42.563 --> 00:06:46.400
- Of the apostle paul with mike signorelli on tour.
- 00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:50.170
- Can't wait to see you there.
- 00:06:50.170 --> 00:06:52.072
- So he takes me to the exact cliff.
- 00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:55.476
- But he said something to me that when it hit my ears,
- 00:06:55.476 --> 00:06:58.412
- It was like all
- 00:06:58.412 --> 00:06:59.680
- Of this scripture i've been reading in my
- 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.315
- Lifetime, it just came alive.
- 00:07:01.315 --> 00:07:02.816
- And this revelation clicked.
- 00:07:02.816 --> 00:07:04.918
- What he said was, you know, i'm a jew.
- 00:07:04.918 --> 00:07:07.621
- This is what the tour guide was saying.
- 00:07:07.621 --> 00:07:09.523
- And i find it interesting
- 00:07:09.523 --> 00:07:11.325
- That this area we're in now 2000 years ago was filled
- 00:07:11.325 --> 00:07:15.696
- With gentiles.
- 00:07:15.696 --> 00:07:16.997
- And the rumor was that they were demonized
- 00:07:16.997 --> 00:07:19.233
- And that they were evil people.
- 00:07:19.233 --> 00:07:20.701
- So the jews never came here.
- 00:07:20.701 --> 00:07:22.636
- So i always found it interesting that jesus took a boat
- 00:07:22.636 --> 00:07:25.873
- And took his disciples here because why would jesus do that?
- 00:07:25.873 --> 00:07:30.477
- And i was like, i know exactly why jesus would do that.
- 00:07:30.477 --> 00:07:33.447
- And so this is what i want you to understand is
- 00:07:33.447 --> 00:07:36.483
- That the nature of is
- 00:07:36.483 --> 00:07:39.253
- To walk right into the places he's not supposed to go
- 00:07:39.253 --> 00:07:43.023
- And to do the things he's not supposed to do.
- 00:07:43.023 --> 00:07:46.026
- And the reason why the world needs to hear this is
- 00:07:46.026 --> 00:07:48.829
- Because we've become so dysfunctional in our faith
- 00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:52.032
- That we become a christian
- 00:07:52.032 --> 00:07:53.901
- And we actually stop going into the very places
- 00:07:53.901 --> 00:07:56.937
- That jesus would go into.
- 00:07:56.937 --> 00:07:58.906
- And if you were his disciple, he would make you go with him.
- 00:07:58.906 --> 00:08:02.943
- Are you following me?
- 00:08:02.943 --> 00:08:04.444
- And this is, i think one of the most dangerous things
- 00:08:05.546 --> 00:08:07.614
- That can happen to a christian is they get into a christian
- 00:08:07.614 --> 00:08:11.418
- Bubble with christian music, with christian books,
- 00:08:11.418 --> 00:08:15.322
- With christian podcasts, with christian influencers,
- 00:08:15.322 --> 00:08:18.692
- And they say, i'm feeding myself.
- 00:08:18.692 --> 00:08:20.928
- But the thing is, when you have more input than output,
- 00:08:20.928 --> 00:08:23.830
- When you are not in a caloric deficit,
- 00:08:23.830 --> 00:08:25.799
- You're not losing weight, you're gaining weight.
- 00:08:25.799 --> 00:08:27.834
- And then you become spiritually lethargic.
- 00:08:27.834 --> 00:08:30.504
- And then you realize that god puts you here to do something,
- 00:08:30.504 --> 00:08:33.640
- Not just to hear something.
- 00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:35.242
- And then you never, you never turn the podcast off.
- 00:08:35.242 --> 00:08:38.278
- And you went from podcast to podcast like you used
- 00:08:38.278 --> 00:08:41.048
- To go from pornography to pornography,
- 00:08:41.048 --> 00:08:43.383
- And you just change an addiction.
- 00:08:43.383 --> 00:08:45.552
- You, oh, come on, demonic material for christian material.
- 00:08:45.552 --> 00:08:48.822
- But it never turned. so if the devil couldn't stop you from
- 00:08:48.822 --> 00:08:51.959
- Becoming a christian, he tried
- 00:08:51.959 --> 00:08:53.927
- To stop you from becoming a disciple.
- 00:08:53.927 --> 00:08:56.063
- Wow. it's like we just exchanged a culture
- 00:08:56.063 --> 00:08:59.366
- For another culture,
- 00:08:59.366 --> 00:09:00.634
- But we never brought that culture into a lost
- 00:09:00.634 --> 00:09:03.070
- And dying world.
- 00:09:03.070 --> 00:09:04.805
- And, and my goal again is
- 00:09:04.805 --> 00:09:07.207
- To make you disciples of jesus christ.
- 00:09:07.207 --> 00:09:09.943
- And i was, you know, one time i used to lead interns,
- 00:09:09.943 --> 00:09:13.113
- So i wasn't the lead pastor, and i was at another church
- 00:09:13.113 --> 00:09:15.582
- And i had to lead an internship.
- 00:09:15.582 --> 00:09:17.618
- And one day i was thinking to myself,
- 00:09:17.618 --> 00:09:19.653
- We have our bible study in the morning,
- 00:09:19.653 --> 00:09:21.655
- Then we have our chapel in the afternoon,
- 00:09:21.655 --> 00:09:23.690
- And then we do all of our church work.
- 00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:25.492
- And the, and i was like, the devil probably loves us
- 00:09:25.492 --> 00:09:28.929
- As a team because all we are doing is christians doing
- 00:09:28.929 --> 00:09:32.799
- Christian stuff in a christian bubble.
- 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.268
- So then i had this thought,
- 00:09:35.268 --> 00:09:37.104
- What does the devil think we won't do?
- 00:09:37.104 --> 00:09:39.439
- 'cause i'm feeling ornery,
- 00:09:39.439 --> 00:09:40.674
- I'm feeling sassy, i'm feeling crazy.
- 00:09:40.674 --> 00:09:42.843
- How do i discover my purpose, mike? it's very simple.
- 00:09:42.843 --> 00:09:45.979
- Do what the devil doesn't think you'll do.
- 00:09:45.979 --> 00:09:48.715
- That's your purpose.
- 00:09:49.182 --> 00:09:50.584
- Do what the devil doesn't think that you will do.
- 00:09:50.584 --> 00:09:53.820
- Like i'm extremely introverted, i have social anxiety,
- 00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:56.790
- So the devil does not think i'll get up in front of people
- 00:09:56.790 --> 00:09:59.660
- And preach the word of god boldly.
- 00:09:59.660 --> 00:10:01.561
- And so, but that my purpose is found in the thing he
- 00:10:01.561 --> 00:10:04.698
- Doesn't think i'll do.
- 00:10:04.698 --> 00:10:06.199
- Are y'all with me? yeah.
- 00:10:06.199 --> 00:10:07.734
- And so in your life there is a box, there is a parameter
- 00:10:07.734 --> 00:10:11.938
- That satan has put you in, that the world has put you in,
- 00:10:10.737 --> 00:10:15.142
- That your family has put you in,
- 00:10:15.142 --> 00:10:17.310
- And your purpose will be found in doing the thing
- 00:10:17.310 --> 00:10:20.147
- That breaks you outta that box.
- 00:10:20.147 --> 00:10:22.182
- And that's the story of every believer.
- 00:10:22.182 --> 00:10:24.651
- It's like for every excuse that you have,
- 00:10:24.651 --> 00:10:27.421
- God has an example.
- 00:10:27.421 --> 00:10:29.022
- So the boxes, lord, i'm not articulate, i, i stutter
- 00:10:29.022 --> 00:10:33.527
- And then that's my excuse.
- 00:10:33.527 --> 00:10:35.262
- Then god puts out an example. here's moses.
- 00:10:35.262 --> 00:10:38.432
- He became a deliver god, i'm too old, i i my time.
- 00:10:38.432 --> 00:10:41.902
- I should have done better with my time
- 00:10:41.902 --> 00:10:43.870
- And i've missed my moment.
- 00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:45.372
- I'm too, okay, that's your excuse. here's my example.
- 00:10:45.372 --> 00:10:48.075
- God, i'm too young. i can't do anything great.
- 00:10:49.009 --> 00:10:51.311
- I'm too young. god gives an example.
- 00:10:51.311 --> 00:10:53.947
- So i was asking my interns at this time, i said, i said,
- 00:10:53.947 --> 00:10:58.085
- You know, every day i see you guys, you go out
- 00:10:58.085 --> 00:11:00.187
- For lunch, you drive.
- 00:11:00.187 --> 00:11:01.421
- And because we had like an open lunch,
- 00:11:01.421 --> 00:11:02.823
- And i said, if you were to use your lunch hour
- 00:11:02.823 --> 00:11:04.991
- To go somewhere to preach the gospel
- 00:11:04.991 --> 00:11:07.360
- And to minister to people,
- 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.795
- Where do you think the devil wouldn't want you to go?
- 00:11:08.795 --> 00:11:11.932
- And one person says, the liquor store.
- 00:11:11.932 --> 00:11:14.534
- I was like, oh, that's good.
- 00:11:14.534 --> 00:11:16.236
- And then the other person says, planned parenthood.
- 00:11:16.236 --> 00:11:18.205
- And i'm like, okay, that's good.
- 00:11:18.205 --> 00:11:19.539
- And they start giving these locations.
- 00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:21.441
- So i said, okay, when, when we hit lunch hour, go out
- 00:11:21.441 --> 00:11:24.311
- And get your lunch and then go to one of these locations
- 00:11:24.311 --> 00:11:26.580
- And just minister the gospel.
- 00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.381
- I kid you not, the very first time we do it, the one
- 00:11:28.381 --> 00:11:31.418
- Of the interns comes back
- 00:11:31.418 --> 00:11:32.686
- And he was like, i have the craziest story.
- 00:11:32.686 --> 00:11:34.755
- He goes, i walked into the liquor store
- 00:11:34.755 --> 00:11:37.023
- And i just, there was only a few people in there.
- 00:11:37.023 --> 00:11:39.493
- And i said, hey, i wanna make an announcement.
- 00:11:39.493 --> 00:11:41.695
- I, i believe the holy spirit told me to come here.
- 00:11:41.695 --> 00:11:44.798
- Because somebody here needs to know that jesus loves him
- 00:11:44.798 --> 00:11:47.601
- And he hasn't given up on him.
- 00:11:47.601 --> 00:11:49.102
- And, and i know i'm not supposed to be in here doing this,
- 00:11:49.102 --> 00:11:51.304
- But i just gotta be obedient.
- 00:11:51.304 --> 00:11:52.806
- He said, this guy takes a bottle of alcohol, puts it down,
- 00:11:52.806 --> 00:11:56.143
- Starts bawling his eyes out and says, i used to be a pastor,
- 00:11:56.143 --> 00:12:00.280
- But i quit ministry.
- 00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:01.681
- I gave up on god. i started drinking during the day.
- 00:12:01.681 --> 00:12:04.985
- I thought god didn't want nothing to do with me.
- 00:12:04.985 --> 00:12:07.354
- And i, and now i know that i didn't go to church,
- 00:12:07.354 --> 00:12:09.956
- But church came to me.
- 00:12:09.956 --> 00:12:11.792
- Come on. so jesus goes to the place
- 00:12:11.792 --> 00:12:15.495
- That he is not supposed to go.
- 00:12:15.495 --> 00:12:17.564
- So i, as a christian, let me help you.
- 00:12:17.564 --> 00:12:20.634
- Your christian life will be so unsatisfying
- 00:12:20.634 --> 00:12:24.805
- If you don't become like jesus
- 00:12:24.805 --> 00:12:27.240
- And do the things
- 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.575
- That the devil doesn't think that you'll do.
- 00:12:28.575 --> 00:12:31.878
- Does anybody feel a righteous boldness
- 00:12:31.878 --> 00:12:34.614
- Rising up on the inside of them?
- 00:12:34.614 --> 00:12:36.183
- Am i stirring you up a little bit?
- 00:12:36.183 --> 00:12:38.218
- I get annoyed by christians
- 00:12:38.218 --> 00:12:40.353
- That all they do is talk about christianity,
- 00:12:40.353 --> 00:12:42.556
- But never demonstrate it.
- 00:12:42.556 --> 00:12:44.191
- As a matter of fact, some of the weirdest people you'll ever
- 00:12:45.358 --> 00:12:47.260
- Meet, they have an imbalance of how much they learn with
- 00:12:47.260 --> 00:12:50.664
- How much they use.
- 00:12:50.664 --> 00:12:52.465
- Those are weird people. and you know what?
- 00:12:52.465 --> 00:12:54.734
- They always end up being mean. you ever notice that?
- 00:12:54.734 --> 00:12:58.171
- It's like you don't ever experience any fruits
- 00:12:58.171 --> 00:13:00.240
- Of the spirit off of their life.
- 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.808
- You're like, what about joy, peace, kindness, gentleness?
- 00:13:01.808 --> 00:13:05.278
- Like, what about the fruits of the spirit?
- 00:13:05.278 --> 00:13:06.947
- I know you know greek, but you obviously don't know god.
- 00:13:06.947 --> 00:13:10.283
- You know what i'm saying?
- 00:13:10.851 --> 00:13:12.385
- Like, you know hebrew, but you obviously don't know him.
- 00:13:12.385 --> 00:13:15.488
- You know, by the way, the devil knows the too, he,
- 00:13:15.488 --> 00:13:17.791
- He just doesn't obey it and he also doesn't demonstrate it.
- 00:13:17.791 --> 00:13:21.027
- And so i think like the, the more i go on this journey,
- 00:13:21.027 --> 00:13:24.631
- My desire for you is to just, it could be a simple,
- 00:13:24.631 --> 00:13:27.534
- Simple thing, but to get out of yourself.
- 00:13:27.534 --> 00:13:30.937
- You know, my brother's a nurse
- 00:13:30.937 --> 00:13:33.039
- And he works in the er, which is, he's got crazy stories.
- 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.343
- But he told me, he said, nurses use this acronym for pain.
- 00:13:36.343 --> 00:13:39.813
- Pay attention inside now.
- 00:13:39.813 --> 00:13:42.482
- So when you're feeling pain, the acronym is like,
- 00:13:43.483 --> 00:13:45.886
- Okay, pay attention.
- 00:13:45.886 --> 00:13:47.287
- That's what pain is doing. pay attention inside.
- 00:13:47.287 --> 00:13:49.990
- Now, what happens as a christian is that if you start
- 00:13:49.990 --> 00:13:54.661
- Utilizing that pain as an excuse to become inward focused,
- 00:13:54.661 --> 00:13:59.532
- Then you'll stop worshiping god
- 00:13:59.532 --> 00:14:01.568
- And you'll stop obeying jesus,
- 00:14:01.568 --> 00:14:03.870
- Because i got news for you, y'all.
- 00:14:03.870 --> 00:14:05.739
- The pain is never going to end.
- 00:14:05.739 --> 00:14:07.774
- It's just exchanges one pain for another pain.
- 00:14:07.774 --> 00:14:10.844
- I've been in the faith for the a very long time.
- 00:14:10.844 --> 00:14:13.179
- I've preached in front of you in some
- 00:14:13.179 --> 00:14:15.148
- Of my greatest anguish and pain.
- 00:14:15.148 --> 00:14:17.384
- I've preached in front of you in the midst of depression.
- 00:14:17.384 --> 00:14:20.020
- But if i was waiting for the pain to stop
- 00:14:20.020 --> 00:14:22.722
- So my ministry could start, my ministry would never start.
- 00:14:22.722 --> 00:14:26.793
- Matter of fact, what i learned from jesus is you let
- 00:14:26.793 --> 00:14:29.763
- That crowd of thorns be pressed into your head,
- 00:14:29.763 --> 00:14:32.499
- And as the blood comes down, you say, god, not my will,
- 00:14:32.499 --> 00:14:36.169
- But thy will be done.
- 00:14:36.169 --> 00:14:37.570
- Nevertheless, i'm going all the way.
- 00:14:37.570 --> 00:14:40.040
- I mean, what we have from jesus is not, i'm gonna wait
- 00:14:40.040 --> 00:14:43.043
- For the pain to stop, for the ministry to start.
- 00:14:43.043 --> 00:14:45.478
- It's, i'm gonna start my ministry in the midst of the pain.
- 00:14:45.478 --> 00:14:49.783
- Come on. am i talking to anybody?
- 00:14:50.550 --> 00:14:52.552
- As a matter of fact, the kingdom
- 00:14:52.552 --> 00:14:54.220
- Of heaven operates on a principle of sowing and reaping.
- 00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:57.357
- So when i'm the most depressed, that's when i prophesy
- 00:14:57.357 --> 00:15:00.694
- To other people the most.
- 00:15:00.694 --> 00:15:02.696
- So over and over again, jesus does the same thing.
- 00:15:02.696 --> 00:15:06.499
- He walks into places where people avoid.
- 00:15:06.499 --> 00:15:10.070
- He walks into places that people fear,
- 00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:13.039
- And he walks into places
- 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:14.374
- That people say are too broken to fix.
- 00:15:14.374 --> 00:15:16.676
- Do you know how many messages i get every single week from
- 00:15:16.676 --> 00:15:20.380
- People who think they're helping me by telling me
- 00:15:20.380 --> 00:15:23.583
- To leave new york city?
- 00:15:23.583 --> 00:15:25.452
- Can i just look into the camera
- 00:15:26.086 --> 00:15:27.420
- And tell you, stop sending me those messages.
- 00:15:27.420 --> 00:15:30.323
- God called me into new york city
- 00:15:30.323 --> 00:15:32.659
- And i am safer in his will in new york city than i would be
- 00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:37.330
- In idaho with a bunker.
- 00:15:37.330 --> 00:15:39.332
- I'm telling you right now,
- 00:15:39.332 --> 00:15:40.800
- The most dangerous thing you can do is say no
- 00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:43.370
- To god when he told you clearly what you should do.
- 00:15:43.370 --> 00:15:46.239
- So stop telling me to leave new york city.
- 00:15:46.239 --> 00:15:48.508
- Some of us are called to run into the battle,
- 00:15:48.508 --> 00:15:51.311
- To run into the war, and to lift up jesus christ.
- 00:15:51.311 --> 00:15:54.647
- Come on. and all the new yorkers here in this room
- 00:15:54.647 --> 00:15:58.084
- Shouted, amen.
- 00:15:58.084 --> 00:15:59.853
- Come on. it's what i'm here for.
- 00:16:00.487 --> 00:16:03.323
- You know what i'm saying? well, what if you get martyred?
- 00:16:03.323 --> 00:16:05.225
- Well, then i joined the chorus of martyrs
- 00:16:05.225 --> 00:16:07.594
- That went before me.
- 00:16:07.594 --> 00:16:09.029
- I come from a rich heritage of those who said yes
- 00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:12.065
- To jesus no matter what the cost was.
- 00:16:12.065 --> 00:16:15.402
- And so that's why i'm here in new york city.
- 00:16:15.402 --> 00:16:17.437
- So stop dming me thinking you're helping me.
- 00:16:17.437 --> 00:16:20.340
- And i love your potatoes in idaho,
- 00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:22.342
- But i ain't supposed to be in idaho.
- 00:16:22.342 --> 00:16:24.844
- Come on now. so now, jesus,
- 00:16:25.445 --> 00:16:27.213
- He tells his disciples, we're gonna go on another journey
- 00:16:28.381 --> 00:16:30.817
- And we're gonna go on a field trip.
- 00:16:30.817 --> 00:16:32.552
- And he walks these disciples all the way up
- 00:16:32.552 --> 00:16:35.522
- To caesarea philippi.
- 00:16:35.522 --> 00:16:38.558
- Okay, no reaction. okay?
- 00:16:39.059 --> 00:16:41.428
- So this would've been, i mean,
- 00:16:41.428 --> 00:16:43.430
- Even him telling them when they're like, hey jesus,
- 00:16:43.430 --> 00:16:46.066
- What are we gonna do today?
- 00:16:46.066 --> 00:16:47.333
- We're going to caesarea philippi. that's crazy.
- 00:16:47.333 --> 00:16:49.502
- You're so funny. for real, what are we gonna do?
- 00:16:49.502 --> 00:16:51.771
- It would've been like that. no, no.
- 00:16:51.771 --> 00:16:53.006
- We we're gonna go to caesarea philippi.
- 00:16:53.006 --> 00:16:54.974
- No, jesus, you're crazy, man.
- 00:16:54.974 --> 00:16:56.509
- We we're not gonna do that for real.
- 00:16:56.509 --> 00:16:58.211
- What are we gonna, yeah, let's go.
- 00:16:58.211 --> 00:17:00.080
- And they would've been like, what?
- 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.915
- Let me tell you why caesarea philippi was a place
- 00:17:01.915 --> 00:17:05.718
- That the greeks, they dedicated to a god named pan.
- 00:17:05.718 --> 00:17:09.522
- And this god was half animal, half man.
- 00:17:09.522 --> 00:17:12.659
- It was a goat and a man named pan.
- 00:17:12.659 --> 00:17:14.994
- And the greeks dedicated this place
- 00:17:14.994 --> 00:17:17.097
- Because it was a open mouth of a cave.
- 00:17:17.097 --> 00:17:19.966
- And there was a river, there was water
- 00:17:19.966 --> 00:17:21.901
- That would flow from that cave.
- 00:17:21.901 --> 00:17:23.403
- And so what the greeks basically said, they were pagans,
- 00:17:23.403 --> 00:17:26.873
- As they said, this is a portal into hades, the underworld.
- 00:17:26.873 --> 00:17:31.111
- So if you walk into this cave
- 00:17:31.111 --> 00:17:32.846
- And you go deep enough, you're gonna end up
- 00:17:32.846 --> 00:17:34.714
- In the underworld.
- 00:17:34.714 --> 00:17:36.316
- And they, as a result of this belief, they begin to do these
- 00:17:36.316 --> 00:17:41.421
- Incredibly dark, i mean,
- 00:17:41.921 --> 00:17:43.456
- What we would know is like satanic luciferian sacrifices.
- 00:17:43.456 --> 00:17:47.360
- As a matter of fact, at the mouth of that cave,
- 00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:49.596
- There would be rampant drunkenness,
- 00:17:49.596 --> 00:17:51.464
- There would be sexual promiscuity in every
- 00:17:51.464 --> 00:17:53.666
- Form you can imagine.
- 00:17:53.666 --> 00:17:55.335
- And also, there's historic accounts of women giving birth.
- 00:17:55.335 --> 00:17:59.706
- And immediately after they would give birth,
- 00:17:59.706 --> 00:18:01.608
- Someone would take their baby
- 00:18:01.608 --> 00:18:02.876
- And hurl it into the mouth of the cave,
- 00:18:02.876 --> 00:18:05.645
- And they would basically wait
- 00:18:05.645 --> 00:18:07.380
- To see if the blood in the water would run clear as a sign
- 00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:11.084
- That the god pan accepted their sacrifice
- 00:18:11.084 --> 00:18:13.753
- And would bless their family.
- 00:18:13.753 --> 00:18:15.722
- And the reason why i think it's important for you to
- 00:18:15.722 --> 00:18:18.191
- To hear this is this is the place
- 00:18:18.191 --> 00:18:20.960
- That jesus tells his disciples, i want you to go with me
- 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.697
- And we're gonna stand right at the mouth of that cave.
- 00:18:24.697 --> 00:18:28.034
- This is why this,
- 00:18:28.468 --> 00:18:29.903
- This whole story gets unlocked when you understand
- 00:18:29.903 --> 00:18:32.338
- What's really happening.
- 00:18:32.338 --> 00:18:33.706
- Now, many of you might be asking, well,
- 00:18:33.706 --> 00:18:35.475
- What happened to pan?
- 00:18:35.475 --> 00:18:36.876
- Well, that demon is still here in the earth now.
- 00:18:36.876 --> 00:18:40.380
- It's just that demon manifest itself
- 00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:42.482
- In different environments.
- 00:18:42.482 --> 00:18:43.750
- It may not be in the mouth of the cave,
- 00:18:43.750 --> 00:18:45.385
- It may be in the nightclub or the bar.
- 00:18:45.385 --> 00:18:47.387
- It may be at the sporting event.
- 00:18:47.387 --> 00:18:49.088
- It may be at the secular music concert.
- 00:18:49.088 --> 00:18:51.391
- Because do people do in those environments?
- 00:18:51.391 --> 00:18:53.927
- They get drunk outta their mind
- 00:18:53.927 --> 00:18:55.695
- And then they start hook up culture and sexual promiscuity.
- 00:18:55.695 --> 00:18:59.265
- And then when they, when they say, i made a mistake, they,
- 00:18:59.265 --> 00:19:02.135
- They say, well, it's my body, my choice,
- 00:19:02.135 --> 00:19:03.970
- So i can sacrifice this baby.
- 00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:05.638
- So they might not be throwing the baby into the cave,
- 00:19:05.638 --> 00:19:07.974
- But it's the same spirit behind it.
- 00:19:07.974 --> 00:19:10.677
- What i find interesting is,
- 00:19:10.677 --> 00:19:11.978
- Let's go back to the old covenant.
- 00:19:11.978 --> 00:19:13.646
- When you show up to the temple,
- 00:19:13.646 --> 00:19:15.582
- Let's go now let's go to the new covenant.
- 00:19:15.582 --> 00:19:17.584
- And you show up to the local church, what are they doing?
- 00:19:17.584 --> 00:19:20.386
- They're not getting drunk,
- 00:19:20.386 --> 00:19:21.821
- But they're doing communion, which is wine.
- 00:19:21.821 --> 00:19:24.591
- And then they're eating bread, which is the body.
- 00:19:24.591 --> 00:19:27.427
- See, what happens is satan,
- 00:19:27.427 --> 00:19:29.262
- What he does is he flips it upside down
- 00:19:29.262 --> 00:19:31.898
- And he replicates everything god has.
- 00:19:31.898 --> 00:19:34.567
- So we come and we take a little bit of communion wine
- 00:19:34.567 --> 00:19:37.370
- To celebrate his blood.
- 00:19:37.370 --> 00:19:39.138
- So what does he do?
- 00:19:39.138 --> 00:19:40.373
- Do it in access and become drunk
- 00:19:40.373 --> 00:19:42.475
- And turn off your, your intellect.
- 00:19:42.475 --> 00:19:44.811
- We, we say marriage is the covenant strong enough
- 00:19:44.811 --> 00:19:48.648
- For the power of sexuality between a man and a woman?
- 00:19:48.648 --> 00:19:52.318
- So what does satan do? he becomes a covenant breaker.
- 00:19:52.318 --> 00:19:55.321
- And you can sleep with anybody who, whoever you want.
- 00:19:55.321 --> 00:19:58.725
- See, it's like he takes what god created
- 00:19:58.725 --> 00:20:00.960
- And flips it upside down.
- 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.528
- So what that cave actually represented was the complete
- 00:20:02.528 --> 00:20:06.132
- Opposite of the ways of god for everything holy,
- 00:20:06.132 --> 00:20:10.036
- For everything righteous.
- 00:20:10.036 --> 00:20:11.738
- That cave represented, it was an upside down kingdom.
- 00:20:11.738 --> 00:20:15.541
- And he brought them to caesarea philippi to say,
- 00:20:15.541 --> 00:20:18.878
- If you're gonna be my disciple, we don't ignore it.
- 00:20:18.878 --> 00:20:22.348
- We don't act like this place doesn't exist.
- 00:20:22.348 --> 00:20:25.785
- We don't run away from it.
- 00:20:25.785 --> 00:20:27.754
- We walk right up to it and we confront it.
- 00:20:27.754 --> 00:20:31.157
- Man, i got chills all over me.
- 00:20:31.157 --> 00:20:32.959
- I feel something stirring in the spirit.
- 00:20:32.959 --> 00:20:35.228
- And because you know the word panic, the root word is pan.
- 00:20:35.228 --> 00:20:38.865
- It comes from the god pan. wow.
- 00:20:38.865 --> 00:20:40.767
- So what would happen in ancient times is when something bad
- 00:20:41.934 --> 00:20:45.738
- Would happen, they would say the god pan has
- 00:20:45.738 --> 00:20:48.107
- Not been satisfied.
- 00:20:48.107 --> 00:20:49.542
- And so everybody is in a frenzy of fear and it's panic.
- 00:20:49.542 --> 00:20:53.246
- How many of you know
- 00:20:53.246 --> 00:20:54.814
- That when they struck the towers here in new york city,
- 00:20:54.814 --> 00:20:56.983
- Panic rippled through this nation, through the world,
- 00:20:56.983 --> 00:21:00.720
- There's a, what do they call 'em?
- 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.888
- Terrorist. it's panic.
- 00:21:01.888 --> 00:21:03.890
- It's the same spirit and it's all connected.
- 00:21:03.890 --> 00:21:06.893
- But we have to represent the opposite spirit
- 00:21:06.893 --> 00:21:10.196
- Because you don't cast out a spirit of fear
- 00:21:10.196 --> 00:21:12.432
- With a greater fear.
- 00:21:12.432 --> 00:21:14.600
- He says, i've given you love, power, and a sound mind.
- 00:21:14.600 --> 00:21:19.439
- So we come with an opposite spirit.
- 00:21:19.439 --> 00:21:21.474
- You don't fi fight pride with more arrogance.
- 00:21:21.474 --> 00:21:24.744
- You come and you say, i'm humbly submitted to the lord
- 00:21:24.744 --> 00:21:28.114
- And i decrease so that he will increase.
- 00:21:28.114 --> 00:21:30.750
- And this is what the lord is doing when the enemy comes in
- 00:21:30.750 --> 00:21:33.453
- Like a flood, he lifts up a standard against him.
- 00:21:33.453 --> 00:21:36.522
- But you are that standard.
- 00:21:36.522 --> 00:21:39.425
- This is what nobody ever preaches.
- 00:21:39.425 --> 00:21:41.327
- You are the standard he lifts up against the enemy.
- 00:21:41.327 --> 00:21:44.797
- It's you. and so he brings them
- 00:21:44.797 --> 00:21:48.301
- To caesarea philippi and he asked this question,
- 00:21:48.301 --> 00:21:52.638
- And it's such an important question.
- 00:21:52.638 --> 00:21:54.874
- Who do you say that i am? who do you say up?
- 00:21:54.874 --> 00:22:00.346
- And it was almost juxtaposed with all
- 00:22:01.147 --> 00:22:02.348
- Of the paganism happening around them.
- 00:22:02.348 --> 00:22:04.283
- You could probably even smell the sin coming off
- 00:22:04.283 --> 00:22:06.586
- Of the water from the mouth of the cave.
- 00:22:06.586 --> 00:22:09.021
- And he's looking at them.
- 00:22:09.021 --> 00:22:10.256
- He's saying, i know who they say i am,
- 00:22:10.256 --> 00:22:12.925
- But who do you say i am?
- 00:22:13.426 --> 00:22:15.528
- This is the question that every single one
- 00:22:15.528 --> 00:22:17.330
- Of us is going to face.
- 00:22:17.330 --> 00:22:19.665
- You're facing it right now.
- 00:22:19.665 --> 00:22:21.434
- This is the most important question of your entire life.
- 00:22:21.434 --> 00:22:24.837
- We know that islam says that he's a prophet but not messiah,
- 00:22:24.837 --> 00:22:29.609
- And that it was judas that was crucified, not jesus.
- 00:22:29.609 --> 00:22:33.012
- Isn't it convenient that the demonic propaganda in islam is
- 00:22:33.012 --> 00:22:36.416
- That he was never crucified?
- 00:22:36.416 --> 00:22:37.884
- Because if he wasn't crucified,
- 00:22:37.884 --> 00:22:39.419
- There was no sacrifice for sin.
- 00:22:39.419 --> 00:22:41.154
- And if he wasn't crucified, he wasn't resurrected,
- 00:22:41.154 --> 00:22:43.556
- Which mean he didn't conquer death hell in the grave.
- 00:22:43.556 --> 00:22:46.793
- That we know that some of your friends don't have a problem
- 00:22:46.793 --> 00:22:49.529
- With jesus as a moral teacher.
- 00:22:49.529 --> 00:22:51.764
- So who do you say jesus is?
- 00:22:51.764 --> 00:22:53.232
- Well, i guess you know, he was a great moral teacher.
- 00:22:53.232 --> 00:22:56.402
- So everybody has a different version of jesus.
- 00:22:56.402 --> 00:22:59.872
- But the question that jesus was saying right in the midst
- 00:22:59.872 --> 00:23:02.875
- Of caesarea philippi is, who do you say that i am?
- 00:23:02.875 --> 00:23:08.181
- And this is the answer, and this is, this is ama.
- 00:23:09.182 --> 00:23:11.350
- An amazing moment in the history
- 00:23:11.350 --> 00:23:13.953
- Of the church is peter literally says,
- 00:23:13.953 --> 00:23:17.089
- You are the christ, the son of the living god.
- 00:23:17.990 --> 00:23:21.627
- And he says it right next to all that filth,
- 00:23:21.627 --> 00:23:24.297
- Right next to all that.
- 00:23:24.297 --> 00:23:25.665
- And this is what jesus says.
- 00:23:25.665 --> 00:23:27.467
- Now, his name was simon peter, but jesus doesn't say simon.
- 00:23:27.467 --> 00:23:32.004
- He emphasizes peter,
- 00:23:32.004 --> 00:23:33.606
- Which in the original language means a fragment of the rock.
- 00:23:33.606 --> 00:23:36.843
- So think about what i'm saying.
- 00:23:36.843 --> 00:23:38.344
- They're standing on physical rock of caesarea philippi
- 00:23:38.344 --> 00:23:42.114
- With a cave with pagan temples
- 00:23:42.114 --> 00:23:44.650
- That are carved into this side of this mountain,
- 00:23:44.650 --> 00:23:47.153
- And he's literally saying, upon this rock,
- 00:23:47.153 --> 00:23:51.023
- I will build my church.
- 00:23:51.023 --> 00:23:53.125
- And not even the gate, it's like he pointed to the cave
- 00:23:53.125 --> 00:23:56.662
- That they thought was the portal into hades,
- 00:23:56.662 --> 00:23:59.265
- And he said, not even the gates
- 00:23:59.265 --> 00:24:00.867
- Of hell will prevail against it.
- 00:24:00.867 --> 00:24:03.469
- Come on. this is so powerful
- 00:24:03.469 --> 00:24:06.539
- Because jesus was speaking on multiple layers.
- 00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:09.876
- Layer number one, peter, your confession of me
- 00:24:09.876 --> 00:24:14.080
- As savior is the rock
- 00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:16.249
- That you're building your whole life on.
- 00:24:16.249 --> 00:24:18.451
- I don't know who i came to tell this to today,
- 00:24:18.451 --> 00:24:21.220
- But when you said, jesus christ is my savior,
- 00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:24.624
- Therefore there is no condemnation to those
- 00:24:24.624 --> 00:24:27.493
- Who are in christ jesus.

- 00:24:55.855 --> 00:24:59.158
- Where there's smoking weed and dope in the streets
- 00:24:59.158 --> 00:25:01.694

- But the greatest miracle is salvation.
- 00:25:39.932 --> 00:25:42.301
