| Mike Signorelli - God's Purpose In The Process | June 9, 2026

- the narrow way broadcast is brought to you by partners
00:00:00.659 --> 00:00:03.429
Of mike signorelli ministries and viewers like you.
00:00:03.429 --> 00:00:07.166
- my wife gets pregnant two more times
00:00:07.933 --> 00:00:09.802
And we unfortunately have two miscarriages.
00:00:09.802 --> 00:00:12.471
And it can be so confusing
00:00:12.471 --> 00:00:14.006
Because it's like, lord, we have a healthy baby girl and
00:00:14.006 --> 00:00:17.810
And, and what is going on?
00:00:17.810 --> 00:00:19.311
Miraculously, my wife gets pregnant for the fourth time
00:00:19.311 --> 00:00:22.681
And we conceive our second child, everly faith.
00:00:22.681 --> 00:00:25.350
But we have that, we have four pregnancies, two children.
00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:28.587
And while we may never grasp the reason for our suffering,
00:00:28.587 --> 00:00:32.458
We can always embrace the result of our suffering.
00:00:32.458 --> 00:00:35.861
Stop praying for the pain to leave.
00:00:35.861 --> 00:00:38.897
Hey, this is mike signorelli with the narrow way
00:00:39.898 --> 00:00:42.234
And i've got some crazy testimonies to tell you.
00:00:42.234 --> 00:00:44.570
So first of all, my team just let me know
00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:46.805
That we had people reaching out saying that they decided not
00:00:46.805 --> 00:00:50.042
To end their life as a result of the message.
00:00:50.042 --> 00:00:53.145
They heard the sermon and they made a decision also.
00:00:53.145 --> 00:00:57.282
This is crazy, but i know you believe it.
00:00:57.282 --> 00:00:59.451
God is still a supernatural god who answers prayers.
00:00:59.451 --> 00:01:03.222
And we have prayer team members that have been praying
00:01:03.222 --> 00:01:05.657
For people on the phone lines
00:01:05.657 --> 00:01:07.226
And we've gotten reports of medically verifiable miracles.
00:01:07.226 --> 00:01:10.562
We've been encouraging people go back to the doctor,
00:01:10.562 --> 00:01:12.798
Get the results like we believe.
00:01:12.798 --> 00:01:14.733
Yes, we believe in medicine,
00:01:14.733 --> 00:01:16.468
But also we believe that it will be confirmed what god did.
00:01:16.468 --> 00:01:20.439
And so those reports are coming in,
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.407
But i wanted to sincerely thank each and every one of you.
00:01:22.407 --> 00:01:24.943
It's actually because of your support that we're able
00:01:24.943 --> 00:01:27.846
To get these messages out.
00:01:27.846 --> 00:01:29.548
So because you're a partner, we pray for you.
00:01:29.548 --> 00:01:32.718
I mean, as a matter of fact, we wanna pray for you today,
00:01:32.718 --> 00:01:36.288
But specifically continue your support
00:01:36.288 --> 00:01:39.458
Because i believe that we've only just begun.
00:01:39.458 --> 00:01:42.127
How many of you believe
00:01:42.127 --> 00:01:43.428
That we're gonna see god do even greater things
00:01:43.428 --> 00:01:45.797
As we continue with the narrow way?
00:01:45.797 --> 00:01:48.467
So let's jump into this week's message.
00:01:48.467 --> 00:01:51.069
This path is already narrow
00:01:51.670 --> 00:01:53.739
And we will forge forward, making no excuse
00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:56.675
For why we can live uncompromised in this generation.
00:01:56.675 --> 00:02:00.279
- lock in, gimme a hundred people who will walk
00:02:01.246 --> 00:02:03.882
That narrow road
00:02:03.882 --> 00:02:05.317
And say, i may have some things in my family,
00:02:05.317 --> 00:02:08.687
But i'm where it runs out.
00:02:08.687 --> 00:02:12.324
- the title of this sermon is, stop praying
00:02:13.225 --> 00:02:16.428
For the pain to leave.
00:02:16.428 --> 00:02:18.130
Come on, the lord's about to speak.
00:02:18.931 --> 00:02:20.699
Stop praying for the pain to leave here in new york city.
00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:24.536
We feel a lot of pain right now. can i get an amen?
00:02:24.536 --> 00:02:27.172
And it's like, lord, please take the pain away.
00:02:27.172 --> 00:02:31.109
I've waited 20 years to preach this sermon
00:02:31.109 --> 00:02:33.845
Because i didn't quite feel qualified
00:02:33.845 --> 00:02:36.315
To talk about suffering
00:02:36.315 --> 00:02:37.916
Because it's a very complex issue biblically.
00:02:37.916 --> 00:02:41.353
But i've got some years on me now
00:02:41.353 --> 00:02:43.589
And i felt like it was an appropriate time to try
00:02:43.589 --> 00:02:46.024
To show you what the bible actually talks about suffering.
00:02:46.024 --> 00:02:48.927
And lemme tell you why, you know,
00:02:48.927 --> 00:02:50.796
Because there's many charismatics
00:02:50.796 --> 00:02:52.864
And spirit-filled people
00:02:52.864 --> 00:02:54.533
That use this almost like a legal document
00:02:54.533 --> 00:02:57.436
To exempt themselves from the pain.
00:02:57.436 --> 00:02:59.771
So they think if i decree it, if i declare it,
00:02:59.771 --> 00:03:02.441
If i claim it, if i name it, if i speak it,
00:03:02.441 --> 00:03:05.410
Then somehow god is gonna exempt me from my pain.
00:03:05.410 --> 00:03:09.081
And although we believe in supernatural healing
00:03:09.081 --> 00:03:11.683
And deliverance and freedom
00:03:11.683 --> 00:03:13.051
And we believe that the lord will prosperous even
00:03:13.051 --> 00:03:16.188
As our soul prospers, the the reality is we are going
00:03:16.188 --> 00:03:20.492
To suffer no matter how loudly you shout these scriptures,
00:03:20.492 --> 00:03:23.428
You're gonna go through it can,
00:03:23.428 --> 00:03:25.530
Can any seasoned saints just say amen.
00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:29.101
I wanna start with this story from my life.
00:03:29.101 --> 00:03:31.536
I got married at 21 and 22 years old.
00:03:31.536 --> 00:03:34.973
Julie and i are about the same age,
00:03:34.973 --> 00:03:36.908
And julie got pregnant three months into our marriage.
00:03:36.908 --> 00:03:41.813
Come on with somebody. three months.
00:03:41.813 --> 00:03:46.084
Praise god. you know, it was totally a surprise obviously,
00:03:46.084 --> 00:03:50.422
But god had another plan.
00:03:50.422 --> 00:03:51.923
But then think about this, in the years following,
00:03:51.923 --> 00:03:55.093
My wife gets pregnant two more times
00:03:55.093 --> 00:03:57.162
And we unfortunately have two miscarriages.
00:03:57.162 --> 00:04:00.165
And it can be so confusing
00:04:00.165 --> 00:04:02.034
Because it's like, lord, we have a healthy baby girl.
00:04:02.034 --> 00:04:05.270
And and, and what is going on?
00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:07.706
And then again, miraculously my wife gets pregnant
00:04:07.706 --> 00:04:11.943
For the fourth time
00:04:11.943 --> 00:04:13.312
And we conceive our second child, everly faith,
00:04:13.312 --> 00:04:15.881
Who's on the front row right now, and she was born crying.
00:04:15.881 --> 00:04:19.284
12 years later she's still crying, just she's crying,
00:04:19.284 --> 00:04:22.154
She's crying right now.
00:04:22.154 --> 00:04:23.355
I don't know what's going on.
00:04:23.355 --> 00:04:24.890
But you know,
00:04:24.890 --> 00:04:26.425
But we have that, we have four pregnancies, two children.
00:04:26.425 --> 00:04:29.761
And the thing i want you to get is,
00:04:29.761 --> 00:04:32.564
While we may never grasp the reason for our suffering,
00:04:32.564 --> 00:04:36.535
We can always embrace the result of our suffering.
00:04:36.535 --> 00:04:40.505
And so i wanna help you today
00:04:40.505 --> 00:04:41.807
Because when you go to the doctor and they say,
00:04:41.807 --> 00:04:44.109
And you say, why did i lose two pregnancies?
00:04:44.109 --> 00:04:47.212
Why did i lose two babies?
00:04:47.212 --> 00:04:48.580
The doctors will tell you, we don't know.
00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:50.749
You know, sometimes we suffer in life now at the time we're
00:04:50.749 --> 00:04:53.585
Serving the lord, building the local church,
00:04:53.585 --> 00:04:55.487
Doing everything that we know to do
00:04:55.487 --> 00:04:57.522
And we can't grasp the reason,
00:04:57.522 --> 00:05:00.158
But we can fully embrace the result of the suffering.
00:05:00.158 --> 00:05:03.895
So i wanna start by helping you understand
00:05:03.895 --> 00:05:06.264
That in life our finite intellectual capacity may
00:05:06.264 --> 00:05:10.936
End up putting us in situations where we say, god,
00:05:10.936 --> 00:05:14.206
I don't know why i'm going through this situation.
00:05:14.206 --> 00:05:17.709
I've quoted every scripture i've prayed,
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:20.145
Every prayer i've done everything i know to do.
00:05:20.145 --> 00:05:23.181
Why? and listen,
00:05:23.181 --> 00:05:24.549
We may not ever even fully understand the why,
00:05:24.549 --> 00:05:27.919
But we can fully embrace the result.
00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:30.389
And what is the result of suffering
00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:32.791
Becoming a more clear picture of jesus christ.
00:05:32.791 --> 00:05:36.461
The result, the reward of suffering is
00:05:36.461 --> 00:05:38.697
That we look less like how we were born
00:05:38.697 --> 00:05:41.666
And we look more like how we were born again.
00:05:41.666 --> 00:05:44.503
Wow. come on.
00:05:44.503 --> 00:05:46.004
We look less like the decisions of our parents
00:05:46.004 --> 00:05:49.241
And more like the decisions of our obedience.
00:05:49.241 --> 00:05:52.144
And we say, i was born looking like the consequence of sin,
00:05:52.144 --> 00:05:56.415
But i died smelling and looking like jesus.
00:05:56.415 --> 00:06:00.051
And that is the reward of our supplement.
00:06:00.051 --> 00:06:01.987
And this is a real church 'cause they're amen in already.
00:06:01.987 --> 00:06:04.923
So i wanna look at acts chapter five
00:06:05.690 --> 00:06:07.859
Because if you've been following these sermons, i took you
00:06:07.859 --> 00:06:10.862
For three months straight through matthew, mark,
00:06:10.862 --> 00:06:13.131
Luke, and john.
00:06:13.131 --> 00:06:14.466
And now we're gonna go into the book of acts.
00:06:14.466 --> 00:06:16.568
So i'm just teaching you right through the new testament.
00:06:16.568 --> 00:06:19.337
And we get to this part, and i love this.
00:06:19.337 --> 00:06:22.107
And acts chapter five, verse 40 says,
00:06:22.107 --> 00:06:24.643
And when they had called in the apostles, who's they?
00:06:24.643 --> 00:06:27.412
The religious elite in jerusalem, they,
00:06:27.412 --> 00:06:30.315
They were watching this early church formation.
00:06:30.315 --> 00:06:33.852
They didn't really understand what was happening
00:06:33.852 --> 00:06:35.854
Because they were spiritually dead
00:06:35.854 --> 00:06:37.722
And their supernatural miracles
00:06:37.722 --> 00:06:39.658
And people are accepting christ as savior.
00:06:39.658 --> 00:06:42.093
And they call in the apostles and then it says,
00:06:42.093 --> 00:06:45.096
And they beat them
00:06:45.096 --> 00:06:46.665
And charge them not to speak in the name of jesus.
00:06:46.665 --> 00:06:49.801
So said, they said, don't speak in the name of jesus.
00:06:49.801 --> 00:06:52.304
And then they let 'em go.
00:06:52.304 --> 00:06:54.139
And when they left the presence of the council,
00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:56.942
The apostles rejoicing that they were counted worthy
00:06:56.942 --> 00:07:02.113
To suffer dishonor for the name.
00:07:02.747 --> 00:07:05.917
I believe that real persecution could possibly be
00:07:06.952 --> 00:07:10.689
Coming to america.
00:07:10.689 --> 00:07:12.724
Listen in persecution isn't criticism in a comment section.
00:07:12.724 --> 00:07:16.595
Persecution isn't your friends who are mad
00:07:16.595 --> 00:07:18.697
'cause you don't turn up and get drunk with them anymore.
00:07:18.697 --> 00:07:21.166
I'm talking about real persecution.
00:07:21.166 --> 00:07:23.168
May very well come to america and
00:07:23.168 --> 00:07:26.004
And can we become like those in the early church
00:07:26.004 --> 00:07:29.474
That rejoiced saying it heard when they gave me
00:07:29.474 --> 00:07:33.178
That royal beat down?
00:07:33.178 --> 00:07:34.713
But man, we used to get in trouble for sinning
00:07:34.713 --> 00:07:37.449
And now we get in trouble for our salvation.
00:07:37.449 --> 00:07:40.218
I love getting in trouble for jesus.
00:07:40.218 --> 00:07:42.888
So for those of you who are taking notes, i want
00:07:43.855 --> 00:07:45.624
To make a distinction right now in suffering
00:07:45.624 --> 00:07:48.360
Because we're all gonna suffer.
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.428
But there are primarily just two types of suffering.
00:07:50.428 --> 00:07:53.565
There's the suffering of obedience
00:07:53.565 --> 00:07:55.867
And then there's suffering of disobedience.
00:07:55.867 --> 00:07:59.170
And if you're anything like me, you, most
00:07:59.170 --> 00:08:01.573
Of the suffering in your life is the suffering
00:08:01.573 --> 00:08:03.975
Of disobedience.
00:08:03.975 --> 00:08:05.710
Am i right? yes. it's the suffering
00:08:05.710 --> 00:08:08.747
Because of stupidity, not because of salvation.
00:08:08.747 --> 00:08:12.617
Most people follow jesus without really knowing
00:08:13.552 --> 00:08:15.754
Where he went or why every place he walked was chosen.
00:08:15.754 --> 00:08:20.258
Every confrontation was intentional,
00:08:20.258 --> 00:08:22.761
Every step was advancing the kingdom of god.
00:08:22.761 --> 00:08:25.730
And he's inviting you to walk the same way,
00:08:25.730 --> 00:08:28.934
Not in confusion, not walking in fear,
00:08:28.934 --> 00:08:32.070
But walking in true authority journey with jesus walks you
00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:36.841
Through every step of jesus ministry, not just as history,
00:08:36.841 --> 00:08:41.179
But as a map for your life right now.
00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:43.448
So get your copy at the link on your screen
00:08:43.448 --> 00:08:45.817
Because followers of jesus don't wander.
00:08:45.817 --> 00:08:49.054
They actually advance.
00:08:49.054 --> 00:08:50.655
This is your time to take your next step in discipleship.
00:08:50.655 --> 00:08:54.159
Get the book. now,
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:59.698
What often happens in our life is that we want peace.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.970
And in our pursuit of peace the wrong way,
00:09:04.970 --> 00:09:08.440
It's disobedience which produces unrighteousness.
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.177
And this is the story of the generations that preceded us.
00:09:12.177 --> 00:09:16.047
It's not necessarily that their intention was,
00:09:16.047 --> 00:09:18.149
I'm gonna be evil.
00:09:18.149 --> 00:09:19.517
Their intention is i want peace.
00:09:19.517 --> 00:09:21.419
And in their pursuit of peace, they do evil things.
00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:24.522
And the reason why i say that is look,
00:09:24.522 --> 00:09:26.091
Again at acts chapter five, let's look into the scriptures.
00:09:26.091 --> 00:09:28.994
And when they had called in the apostles, they beat 'em.
00:09:28.994 --> 00:09:32.063
They charged them not to speak in the name of jesus
00:09:32.063 --> 00:09:34.766
And they let 'em go and they left the,
00:09:34.766 --> 00:09:36.635
The apostles left their presence rejoicing
00:09:36.635 --> 00:09:39.437
That they were counted worthy to be dishonored
00:09:39.437 --> 00:09:41.773
And to suffer for the name of jesus.
00:09:41.773 --> 00:09:44.342
And this is the visual i get
00:09:44.342 --> 00:09:45.910
Because i don't know if it's spiritual, adhd,
00:09:45.910 --> 00:09:48.647
But i see the bible as like a movie when i read it.
00:09:48.647 --> 00:09:51.650
So i'm imagining peter, who is constantly getting corrected
00:09:51.650 --> 00:09:55.253
For sin, he was constantly getting rebuked.
00:09:55.253 --> 00:09:58.456
Jesus said, get thee behind me, satan.
00:09:58.456 --> 00:10:01.993
He, i mean, if peter was alive today,
00:10:01.993 --> 00:10:04.529
He would blog about the church abuse he experienced when
00:10:04.529 --> 00:10:07.298
Jesus called him satan.
00:10:07.298 --> 00:10:08.967
Okay, that's a whole nother sermon, okay? am i right? yes.
00:10:10.135 --> 00:10:14.039
The way they talk to me, it's like, bro,
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.374
You would not have survived jesus training.
00:10:16.374 --> 00:10:19.744
All right? so peter is perpetually getting in trouble.
00:10:19.744 --> 00:10:24.349
Then they come to take jesus and he goes full gangster
00:10:24.349 --> 00:10:27.485
And takes out his glock, i mean his sword.
00:10:27.485 --> 00:10:31.222
And he tries to cut that centurion's ear off.
00:10:32.123 --> 00:10:35.160
And jesus says, if you live by the sword, you die
00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:38.063
By, by the sword.
00:10:38.063 --> 00:10:39.597
And and, and he wasn't preaching pacifism,
00:10:39.597 --> 00:10:42.867
He was just simply saying, peter,
00:10:42.867 --> 00:10:44.536
This is not your assignment
00:10:44.536 --> 00:10:46.337
Because there is a time for militarization.
00:10:46.337 --> 00:10:48.573
When jesus comes back, he's coming back
00:10:48.573 --> 00:10:50.775
To a war called armageddon.
00:10:50.775 --> 00:10:52.877
And so jesus is, is not soft. can i get an amen?
00:10:52.877 --> 00:10:56.815
And that's why we're thankful for our us military.
00:10:56.815 --> 00:10:59.617
We're thankful for nypd, right?
00:10:59.617 --> 00:11:01.953
So peter's always getting in trouble,
00:11:01.953 --> 00:11:04.289
But then all of a sudden he now graduates from a disciple
00:11:04.289 --> 00:11:07.959
To an apostle and he's getting in trouble again.
00:11:07.959 --> 00:11:10.595
And i just imagine he gets that beat down.
00:11:10.595 --> 00:11:13.064
And he was like, i like this
00:11:13.064 --> 00:11:15.066
Because i'm still getting in trouble, but
00:11:15.066 --> 00:11:17.435
Because it's my of my salvation, not my sinning.
00:11:17.435 --> 00:11:21.206
So the thing that should happen when you accept jesus
00:11:21.206 --> 00:11:23.942
Christ, your lord and savior, is you do not become tame.
00:11:23.942 --> 00:11:28.113
You go from wild in the world to wild in the kingdom.
00:11:28.113 --> 00:11:32.117
You go from getting in trouble
00:11:32.117 --> 00:11:33.852
Because of your sin to getting in trouble
00:11:33.852 --> 00:11:36.221
Because of your salvation.
00:11:36.221 --> 00:11:38.089
As a matter of fact, if you don't stay dangerous saved,
00:11:38.089 --> 00:11:40.859
You're gonna end up sinning a lot more.
00:11:40.859 --> 00:11:43.027
If you don't give yourself something to do for god,
00:11:43.027 --> 00:11:45.330
You're gonna do something for your flesh.
00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:47.499
And my solution for sanctification, which is the process
00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:51.836
Of becoming more like jesus, is
00:11:51.836 --> 00:11:53.872
To do increasingly dangerous stuff for jesus.
00:11:53.872 --> 00:11:57.909
Because if you ask me, mike, do you want
00:11:57.909 --> 00:11:59.711
To get together over coffee
00:11:59.711 --> 00:12:01.513
And pontificate about christianity?
00:12:01.513 --> 00:12:04.048
That's not really my vibe.
00:12:04.048 --> 00:12:05.717
I, i already had six cups of coffee by 9:00 am
00:12:05.717 --> 00:12:09.554
But if you ask me,
00:12:09.988 --> 00:12:11.389
Do you wanna preach in a bulletproof vest in times square
00:12:11.389 --> 00:12:14.425
And do the very first historic, come on sunday, approve
00:12:14.425 --> 00:12:18.997
By the mayor's office service and,
00:12:18.997 --> 00:12:21.432
And have a possibility of your life
00:12:21.432 --> 00:12:24.068
And death on ly, i'm like, yeah, let's do it.
00:12:24.068 --> 00:12:26.671
Maybe the fruit is sin, but the root is your board.
00:12:27.705 --> 00:12:31.643
Matter of fact, let me talk to some of the men.
00:12:31.643 --> 00:12:34.078
One of the greatest solutions
00:12:34.078 --> 00:12:35.613
To lust is wearing yourself out so that you're too tired
00:12:35.613 --> 00:12:39.517
To act on the urge.
00:12:39.517 --> 00:12:41.653
And some of you are trying
00:12:41.653 --> 00:12:43.021
To pray it away when you should be working it away.
00:12:43.021 --> 00:12:46.257
Oh, come on,
00:12:46.591 --> 00:12:48.526
A grown man should be laying up in the bed
00:12:48.526 --> 00:12:50.795
Unemployed all day and night.
00:12:50.795 --> 00:12:52.297
No matter, no wonder you're addicted.
00:12:52.297 --> 00:12:54.833
This is the aim of the christian life, is to get in trouble
00:12:55.967 --> 00:12:59.838
For the right reasons.
00:12:59.838 --> 00:13:01.406
As a matter of fact, the reason why there's
00:13:01.406 --> 00:13:02.774
So much drama online in the christian community is
00:13:02.774 --> 00:13:06.211
Because people with an, with a big brain,
00:13:06.211 --> 00:13:08.680
But tiny hands spiritually,
00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:12.750
They're not serving their community.
00:13:12.750 --> 00:13:15.153
They're not serving the body of christ,
00:13:15.153 --> 00:13:17.288
But they're just big with tiny hands walking around.
00:13:17.288 --> 00:13:19.824
Can you imagine the picture?
00:13:19.824 --> 00:13:21.292
And when they stand before righteous
00:13:21.292 --> 00:13:23.027
And holy god, he's
00:13:23.027 --> 00:13:27.232
Gonna say, depart from me.
00:13:27.232 --> 00:13:28.199
For i never knew you.
00:13:28.199 --> 00:13:29.734
You knew everything about christian culture,
00:13:29.734 --> 00:13:31.736
But you never brought the culture of the kingdom into earth.
00:13:31.736 --> 00:13:34.505
Wow. you know everything about what people are doing wrong,
00:13:34.505 --> 00:13:37.642
But you've never actually helped people become righteous.
00:13:37.642 --> 00:13:41.379
You fulfilled your mission,
00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:42.714
But you never fulfilled the great commission.
00:13:42.714 --> 00:13:45.216
This is what happens.
00:13:45.216 --> 00:13:46.517
And this is because we have to do the work.
00:13:46.517 --> 00:13:48.620
Let's get in trouble together.
00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:51.022
So non-christians suffer because of their addiction,
00:13:51.022 --> 00:13:56.361
But then christians suffer because of their abstinence.
00:13:57.462 --> 00:14:00.131
So what happens is you're gonna suffer no matter what.
00:14:00.131 --> 00:14:03.468
But the thing is, you get to choose the pain of the same
00:14:03.468 --> 00:14:06.571
Or the pain of change, but you're not getting outta pain.
00:14:06.571 --> 00:14:10.341
And really what happens is, in our pursuit of
00:14:10.341 --> 00:14:14.779
Peace the wrong way, it becomes addiction,
00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:18.449
Which ironically dramatically reduces our peace
00:14:18.449 --> 00:14:22.353
And increases our confusion.
00:14:22.353 --> 00:14:24.289
Have you ever yielded to that temptation?
00:14:24.289 --> 00:14:26.791
And when you got done, you're like, man, i was high
00:14:26.791 --> 00:14:29.127
For a little while, but now i feel so guilty i even did it.
00:14:29.127 --> 00:14:33.431
Have you ever, oh man, i drank
00:14:33.431 --> 00:14:34.933
And in the moment i was feeling good,
00:14:34.933 --> 00:14:37.068
But now i know it took a toll on my body.
00:14:37.068 --> 00:14:40.004
Or, or yeah, worse.
00:14:40.004 --> 00:14:42.240
I yielded my body in this relationship
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.943
And we had these sexual encounters and i was seeking peace
00:14:44.943 --> 00:14:48.413
But in the midst of doing that, the bible says
00:14:48.413 --> 00:14:49.314
That when you commit a sexual sin,
00:14:49.314 --> 00:14:51.249
You committed against your own body.
00:14:51.249 --> 00:14:53.718
So you're actually hurting yourself.
00:14:53.718 --> 00:14:56.020
And when it's all over, you're taking a shower,
00:14:56.020 --> 00:14:58.623
But you can't wash that feeling of conviction off of you.
00:14:58.623 --> 00:15:02.827
But the thing is, were you seeking sex?
00:15:02.827 --> 00:15:05.396
Were you seeking a high?
00:15:05.396 --> 00:15:07.365
Were you seeking that feeling of drunkenness
00:15:07.365 --> 00:15:10.201
Or were you seeking peace the wrong way?
00:15:10.201 --> 00:15:12.937
Are y'all with me? see, and this is the root of it.
00:15:13.972 --> 00:15:17.575
This is where we're going today.
00:15:17.575 --> 00:15:19.344
There's, there's two different kinds of pain now,
00:15:19.344 --> 00:15:21.512
Two different kinds of suffering.
00:15:21.512 --> 00:15:23.414
Right now i'm taking italian lessons.
00:15:23.414 --> 00:15:26.084
I'm going through this process
00:15:26.084 --> 00:15:27.185
Of dual citizenship for italy.
00:15:27.185 --> 00:15:29.420
And i don't wanna show up to become a citizen
00:15:29.420 --> 00:15:32.123
And not know the how to fully speak the language.
00:15:32.123 --> 00:15:35.193
And my goal is to become trilingual.
00:15:35.193 --> 00:15:37.662
And i, i have a vision of my life
00:15:37.662 --> 00:15:39.230
Before i die, preaching in italian, spanish and english.
00:15:39.230 --> 00:15:42.767
That's my goal. so i've been doing three
00:15:42.767 --> 00:15:45.003
And four days a week of italian lessons.
00:15:45.003 --> 00:15:47.505
And my daughter bella was like, i love to your lessons.
00:15:47.505 --> 00:15:50.408
I said, why? she goes,
00:15:50.408 --> 00:15:51.843
'cause everywhere in life you're the leader
00:15:51.843 --> 00:15:53.845
And you're the boss
00:15:53.845 --> 00:15:55.313
And you have all the employees and you're the leader.
00:15:55.313 --> 00:15:57.348
She goes, but when you're in those lessons, you sound
00:15:57.348 --> 00:15:59.417
So stupid.
00:15:59.417 --> 00:16:00.585
And i love it. wow, this is bella.
00:16:00.585 --> 00:16:03.988
She's like, just hearing you be like, i don't know.
00:16:03.988 --> 00:16:06.624
I don't know. i don't know.
00:16:06.624 --> 00:16:08.192
And i said, but i'm teaching you a lesson.
00:16:08.192 --> 00:16:10.361
There's the pain of self destruction
00:16:11.129 --> 00:16:13.798
Or there's the pain of self construction
00:16:13.798 --> 00:16:16.667
And it's the pain of me looking at my, my instructor.
00:16:16.667 --> 00:16:20.171
Like, i don't know. i have no idea.
00:16:20.171 --> 00:16:22.840
I don't even know how to say an italian, i don't know.
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.110
But there's a pain to that.
00:16:26.711 --> 00:16:28.379
And there's a lot of people who would just stay prideful.
00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:30.548
So we have to choose in life which pain.
00:16:30.548 --> 00:16:34.185
But we're, but pain is unavoidable.
00:16:34.185 --> 00:16:36.721
And what i love about peter
00:16:36.721 --> 00:16:38.389
So much is when jesus looks at him
00:16:38.389 --> 00:16:40.625
And says, get behind me, satan, you know that hurt
00:16:40.625 --> 00:16:44.128
Because there's another man in scripture named judas.
00:16:44.128 --> 00:16:47.532
And judas had an issue with how jesus was spending the money
00:16:47.532 --> 00:16:51.002
And, and he was just like, well, that woman
00:16:51.002 --> 00:16:53.371
That made this lavish offering
00:16:53.371 --> 00:16:54.772
And she poured out that oil that was a year's worth
00:16:54.772 --> 00:16:57.442
Of wages, we could have used that for the poor.
00:16:57.442 --> 00:16:59.377
And jesus looks at judas
00:16:59.377 --> 00:17:00.912
And says, judas, you don't even care about the poor.
00:17:00.912 --> 00:17:03.915
And it hurt just like it hurt peter.
00:17:04.682 --> 00:17:08.052
It's two different rebukes, two different results.
00:17:08.052 --> 00:17:11.656
One of them says, it hurt when he's called me satan.
00:17:11.656 --> 00:17:15.693
It hurt when he told me, i don't care about poor people.
00:17:15.693 --> 00:17:18.996
But one disciple becomes a betrayer
00:17:18.996 --> 00:17:21.632
And the other one becomes an apostle.
00:17:21.632 --> 00:17:24.068
And see, this is what it's like with the lord.
00:17:24.068 --> 00:17:26.571
The lord brings rebuke into your life.
00:17:26.571 --> 00:17:28.539
He brings correction in your life.
00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:30.108
And some people become a judas and betray him.
00:17:30.108 --> 00:17:33.177
And they walk away from the church.
00:17:33.177 --> 00:17:34.879
They walk away from the faith.
00:17:34.879 --> 00:17:36.414
But then others say, it hurt when i got corrected,
00:17:36.414 --> 00:17:39.350
But that correction put me on the right course.
00:17:39.350 --> 00:17:42.019
And it produced righteousness in my life.
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:44.188
And now i am in a higher position of authority.
00:17:44.188 --> 00:17:47.191
Is there anybody that's like jesus, bring the beat down,
00:17:47.191 --> 00:17:50.428
Bring the rebuke.
00:17:50.428 --> 00:17:51.696
I'm teachable. i'm humble.
00:17:51.696 --> 00:17:55.566
Why can't we become that?
00:17:56.134 --> 00:17:58.136
When i was training to be a pastor in my twenties, i was
00:17:59.270 --> 00:18:01.939
So arrogant, i thought i knew everything.
00:18:01.939 --> 00:18:04.609
And i sat on a council of 70-year-old men, black, white,
00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:08.679
Hispanic, racially diverse.
00:18:08.679 --> 00:18:11.516
And they were all in their seventies.
00:18:11.516 --> 00:18:12.817
They've been pastoring for decades.
00:18:12.817 --> 00:18:14.619
And i would come in there every week
00:18:14.619 --> 00:18:16.154
And i would tell them what went wrong in the local church
00:18:16.154 --> 00:18:18.990
And what god did, right and or through me and how god
00:18:18.990 --> 00:18:21.759
And i would give them my problems essentially.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.328
And how i knew that i had done something wrong is the bishop
00:18:24.328 --> 00:18:27.999
That sat at the head of that table would look at all the old
00:18:27.999 --> 00:18:30.468
Men and they'd be smiling.
00:18:30.468 --> 00:18:31.502
'cause they already knew that.
00:18:31.502 --> 00:18:32.703
I didn't know how i was wrong,
00:18:32.703 --> 00:18:34.772
But they knew how i was wrong.
00:18:34.772 --> 00:18:36.841
So they were looking around like this, he's about
00:18:36.841 --> 00:18:38.876
To get a beat down, it's coming.
00:18:38.876 --> 00:18:41.646
But the way that he did it was there was a, in the middle
00:18:41.646 --> 00:18:45.249
Of the table were cookies.
00:18:45.249 --> 00:18:47.251
And how you knew you were about to get rebuked by
00:18:47.251 --> 00:18:49.887
That table was they would say, mike, get a cookie.
00:18:49.887 --> 00:18:53.624
And you're like, oh.
00:18:53.624 --> 00:18:54.926
And the cookie was their way of saying like,
00:18:54.926 --> 00:18:57.795
You're about to get rebuked.
00:18:57.795 --> 00:18:59.230
And, and then so they would give you your rebuke
00:18:59.230 --> 00:19:01.499
And say, okay, when you told that story from last week,
00:19:01.499 --> 00:19:03.868
Here's how you failed that congregant.
00:19:03.868 --> 00:19:06.070
Here's how you didn't do it the right way.
00:19:06.070 --> 00:19:07.838
Here's how you're in pride. here's how you're in rebellion.
00:19:07.838 --> 00:19:10.174
And you, and there would be times where i'd be crying
00:19:10.174 --> 00:19:13.044
And i'd be like, oh, i didn't even see it.
00:19:13.044 --> 00:19:14.745
I'm so sorry. and then while i'm crying, they're like,
00:19:14.745 --> 00:19:16.814
All right, now eat your cookie.
00:19:16.814 --> 00:19:18.082
And i'd be like, 20 something year old.
00:19:18.082 --> 00:19:23.721
I'm kid you not.
00:19:24.088 --> 00:19:25.790
One day i asked the bishop, i said,
00:19:25.790 --> 00:19:28.192
Why do you make us eat cookies when you yell at us?
00:19:28.192 --> 00:19:31.429
He said, because the lord spoke to me a long time ago
00:19:32.530 --> 00:19:35.066
And said, if you can raise up pastors that re
00:19:35.066 --> 00:19:38.135
That actually receive a rebuke like the sweetness
00:19:38.135 --> 00:19:41.906
Of a cookie and understand the goodness
00:19:41.906 --> 00:19:44.875
Of god is represented in discipline,
00:19:44.875 --> 00:19:47.612
Those pastors will not depart from the faith.
00:19:47.612 --> 00:19:50.114
And they'll stay in the call.
00:19:50.114 --> 00:19:51.816
And he said, mike, i was conditioning your brain
00:19:51.816 --> 00:19:54.452
To receive discipline and rebuke like a cookie.
00:19:54.452 --> 00:19:58.155
All these years later, everybody at
00:19:58.956 --> 00:20:01.525
That table is dead except for me.
00:20:01.525 --> 00:20:03.995
All those men have died.
00:20:04.495 --> 00:20:06.464
And here i am in new york city
00:20:06.464 --> 00:20:08.499
And i'm carrying on the tradition of yes lord,
00:20:08.499 --> 00:20:11.736
Just like we're not judas, we're peter.
00:20:11.736 --> 00:20:14.205
Do whatever you gotta do in me.
00:20:14.205 --> 00:20:15.640
Lord, tell me whatever you gotta tell me,
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:17.908
Send whoever you need to send me.
00:20:17.908 --> 00:20:19.377
Because lord, i want to go all the way.
00:20:19.377 --> 00:20:21.412
And i don't care how much it hurts my
00:20:21.412 --> 00:20:23.047
Ego, i don't care, lord.
00:20:23.047 --> 00:20:24.782
I want to go all the way.
00:20:24.782 --> 00:20:26.150
And i, and i believe for many of you,
00:20:26.150 --> 00:20:27.852
You've come into a church
00:20:27.852 --> 00:20:29.387
That's not gonna just preach you some nice sounding word
00:20:29.387 --> 00:20:32.590
That tickles your ears,
00:20:32.590 --> 00:20:34.325
But it's gonna be something from the scriptures
00:20:34.325 --> 00:20:36.560
That fortifies you.
00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:38.095
And some of you don't even understand some
00:20:38.095 --> 00:20:40.131
Of the things i'm saying now,
00:20:40.131 --> 00:20:41.666
But decades from now, you're gonna say, i was so grateful
00:20:41.666 --> 00:20:44.869
For the investment that god made so
00:20:44.869 --> 00:20:47.171
That i could stay on this path of righteousness.
00:20:47.171 --> 00:20:50.074
How many of you're gonna choose the pain
00:20:50.074 --> 00:20:52.043
Of self construction over the pain
00:20:52.043 --> 00:20:54.845
Of self-destruction with me?
00:20:54.845 --> 00:20:56.947
Now, can you shout? hallelujah. hallelujah. come on.
00:20:56.947 --> 00:21:00.851
So i wanna look at this verse in hebrews chapter 12.
00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:05.056
Hebrews chapter 12 is, is such a a, a beautiful way to to,
00:21:05.056 --> 00:21:09.727
To help you understand this it, it says this,
00:21:09.727 --> 00:21:13.064
Hebrews chapter 12, verse seven, if you,
00:21:13.064 --> 00:21:15.199
You can write this down.
00:21:15.199 --> 00:21:16.434
It says, it is for discipline that you have
00:21:16.434 --> 00:21:20.504
To endure.
00:21:20.504 --> 00:21:22.106
As a matter of fact, i gotta speak prophetically.
00:21:23.107 --> 00:21:24.608
'cause somebody is listening right now that needs this.
00:21:24.608 --> 00:21:27.111
You will endure. you are not gonna quit.
00:21:27.111 --> 00:21:31.982
You are not gonna stop
00:21:31.982 --> 00:21:33.417
Before the fullness of the promises fulfilled
00:21:33.417 --> 00:21:36.587
For endurances being released and imparted to you right now.
00:21:36.587 --> 00:21:40.891
You will go all the way and you will not back down.
00:21:40.891 --> 00:21:44.362
You will not relapse.
00:21:44.362 --> 00:21:46.597
You will not look to the left or to the right,
00:21:46.597 --> 00:21:48.699
But you will keep your focus on the lord
00:21:48.699 --> 00:21:51.102
And you will endure, endure, endure.
00:21:51.102 --> 00:21:53.504
I don't know who i'm talking to,
00:21:53.504 --> 00:21:55.172
But endurance is being imparted to you right now.
00:21:55.172 --> 00:21:58.209
Somebody just say that i will endure. yeah, come on.
00:21:58.209 --> 00:22:02.279
Because we come from family lines with no endurance.
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.283
Come on. they didn't endure in marriage.
00:22:07.151 --> 00:22:09.820
They didn't endure in fitness
00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:11.622
And their diet, they didn't endure in education.
00:22:11.622 --> 00:22:14.725
They didn't endure in their finances
00:22:14.725 --> 00:22:16.894
And they threw up their hands too soon.
00:22:16.894 --> 00:22:19.163
But you are different than those who became before you.
00:22:19.163 --> 00:22:22.400
You will endure in a few moments. i wanna pray for you.
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.437
You know, i've seen medically verifiable miracles
00:22:26.437 --> 00:22:29.073
All around the world.
00:22:29.073 --> 00:22:30.341
I wanna pray for you. i,
00:22:30.341 --> 00:22:32.042
I've actually seen people delivered from demons in moments.
00:22:32.042 --> 00:22:35.045
But the greatest miracle is salvation,
00:22:35.045 --> 00:22:37.415
Is when someone who's dead in their sin, literally headed
00:22:37.415 --> 00:22:40.785
To hell, is saved by jesus christ and made to be alive
00:22:40.785 --> 00:22:45.256
And headed to heaven.
00:22:45.256 --> 00:22:46.824
And that can happen if you do what romans chapter 10,
00:22:46.824 --> 00:22:49.560
Verse nine says, confess with your mouth,
00:22:49.560 --> 00:22:51.929
Believe in your heart and you will be saved.
00:22:51.929 --> 00:22:54.331
It's that we don't earn it, we don't deserve it,
00:22:54.331 --> 00:22:56.767
We just receive it.
00:22:56.767 --> 00:22:58.469
So i want you to repeat these words with me
00:22:58.469 --> 00:23:00.905
Because i don't believe in accidents
00:23:00.905 --> 00:23:02.373
And the holy spirit's been drawing you.
00:23:02.373 --> 00:23:04.341
Say it with me. heavenly father, i thank you for the cross
00:23:04.341 --> 00:23:08.446
Where my sins were forgiven.
00:23:08.446 --> 00:23:10.714
Wash me with your blood. i am a disciple.
00:23:10.714 --> 00:23:14.718
I surrender my life completely.
00:23:14.718 --> 00:23:16.987
And i will follow you on the narrow road in jesus' name.
00:23:16.987 --> 00:23:21.525
Come on, say it boldly. amen.
00:23:21.525 --> 00:23:23.861
Well, i'm so glad that you just made that decision
00:23:23.861 --> 00:23:26.330
To give your life to jesus.
00:23:26.330 --> 00:23:27.898
I would actually like to help you on your journey
00:23:27.898 --> 00:23:30.167
As a disciple.
00:23:30.167 --> 00:23:31.335
And if you scan the qr code,
00:23:31.335 --> 00:23:32.970
We will immediately send you a free prayer guide
00:23:32.970 --> 00:23:36.640
That will actually give you access to prayers for anxiety
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.077
And just different physical conditions you
00:23:40.077 --> 00:23:42.446
Might be struggling with.
00:23:42.446 --> 00:23:43.581
And it's a great resource and a tool.
00:23:43.581 --> 00:23:46.050
As a matter of fact, we also have prayer team members
00:23:46.050 --> 00:23:48.486
That are standing by waiting for you to reach out.
00:23:48.486 --> 00:23:51.055
Now, i'll see you in the next episode.
00:23:51.055 --> 00:23:54.258
I would love to meet you in person as we retrace the steps
00:23:54.258 --> 00:23:58.963
Of the apostle paul on an unforgettable journey
00:23:58.963 --> 00:24:02.233
Through greece and turkey.
00:24:02.233 --> 00:24:04.068
It's gonna be a five star experience
00:24:04.068 --> 00:24:06.470
With not only incredible hotels, but also a cruise.
00:24:06.470 --> 00:24:10.207
And we're gonna go to the very places
00:24:10.207 --> 00:24:12.209
That scripture was written, including patmos, where the book
00:24:12.209 --> 00:24:15.846
Of revelation was written by john.
00:24:15.846 --> 00:24:18.315
I cannot wait to meet you in person, but seats are limited,
00:24:18.315 --> 00:24:22.186
Although they're still available.
00:24:22.186 --> 00:24:24.021
So you have to make the decision now.
00:24:24.021 --> 00:24:26.490
The information's here on the screen.
00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:28.526
Go ahead and take advantage of an experience
00:24:28.526 --> 00:24:31.362
That will last a lifetime.
00:24:31.362 --> 00:24:33.230
I wanna pray with you at these locations
00:24:33.230 --> 00:24:35.699
As we invite the presence of the holy spirit.
00:24:35.699 --> 00:24:38.369
I want to teach you exactly what was happening in culture
00:24:38.369 --> 00:24:41.739
As the scriptures were written.
00:24:41.739 --> 00:24:43.240
I have some incredible meals together with you.
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.677
It's going to be amazing.
00:24:46.677 --> 00:24:48.846
But i need you to make that decision now
00:24:48.846 --> 00:24:50.848
Before all of the seats are gone.
00:24:50.848 --> 00:24:53.684
It's gonna be amazing, and i can't wait to meet you.
00:24:53.684 --> 00:24:56.820
Go ahead, make that decision to retrace the steps
00:24:56.820 --> 00:25:00.624
Of the apostle paul with mike signorelli on tour.
00:25:00.624 --> 00:25:04.295
Can't wait to see you there.
00:25:04.295 --> 00:25:11.302
Hey, i need your help.
00:25:11.802 --> 00:25:13.304
You know, here in new york city, i am reaching young people
00:25:13.304 --> 00:25:16.407
For christ and we are seeing them from every
00:25:16.407 --> 00:25:18.709
Different background.
00:25:18.709 --> 00:25:20.210
Just accept jesus. i mean, it's truly like a movement.
00:25:20.210 --> 00:25:23.614
We're actually taking nightclubs
00:25:23.614 --> 00:25:25.616
And turning them into churches on sunday mornings.
00:25:25.616 --> 00:25:28.586
And it is a very hard thing.
00:25:28.586 --> 00:25:30.921
But the reason why i say that is
00:25:30.921 --> 00:25:32.356
Because these are young people like your grandchildren
00:25:32.356 --> 00:25:35.559
And you know, like your nieces and nephews,
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.062
And we're leading them to christ.
00:25:38.062 --> 00:25:39.496
But i, here's why i need your help.
00:25:39.496 --> 00:25:41.098
First of all, pray for us.
00:25:41.098 --> 00:25:42.833
And secondly, if you would consider give,
00:25:42.833 --> 00:25:45.869
Giving a gift to the ministry.
00:25:45.869 --> 00:25:48.105
If you call the number on the screen right now,
00:25:48.105 --> 00:25:50.240
We have prayer team members that'll pray with you,
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.676
But just consider helping us on this mission.
00:25:52.676 --> 00:25:55.779
But i want to tell you one of the reasons why you might feel
00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:58.482
So connected to my preaching is
00:25:58.482 --> 00:26:00.618
Because you're not retired, you're refire
00:26:00.618 --> 00:26:03.253
And god is reigniting you
00:26:03.253 --> 00:26:05.022
And he's actually causing you to be on fire again
00:26:05.022 --> 00:26:08.292
And return to your first love.
00:26:08.292 --> 00:26:10.427
And so help us as we're on this mission.
00:26:10.427 --> 00:26:13.030
I never thought that out of new york city,
00:26:13.030 --> 00:26:15.499
I would be bringing a television show all around the world.
00:26:15.499 --> 00:26:19.003
And it's been a tremendous sacrifice for us.
00:26:19.003 --> 00:26:21.839
But i just believe that as we come together all
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.575
Around the world right now, you can help us.
00:26:24.575 --> 00:26:27.177
And if you sow into young people,
00:26:27.177 --> 00:26:29.980
Just like your grandchildren, just like your nieces
00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:32.416
And nephews, i believe
00:26:32.416 --> 00:26:33.784
That you'll reap a harvest in your own family.
00:26:33.784 --> 00:26:36.587
So the information's on the screen right now.
