  • If you've been feeling confused,
  • 00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:02.861
  • If you've been feeling uncertain
  • 00:00:02.861 --> 00:00:05.064
  • And even unseen, you're actually in good company.
  • 00:00:05.064 --> 00:00:08.834
  • And this is a message for you.
  • 00:00:08.834 --> 00:00:10.669
  • Before jesus ever healed a sick body,
  • 00:00:10.669 --> 00:00:13.372
  • Before he ever cast out a demon,
  • 00:00:13.372 --> 00:00:15.441
  • Before he ever preached a sermon that shook cities,
  • 00:00:15.441 --> 00:00:18.510
  • He lived 30 years, virtually unseen.
  • 00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:21.713
  • No crowds, no platform,
  • 00:00:21.713 --> 00:00:23.649
  • No miracles, no applause.
  • 00:00:23.649 --> 00:00:26.018
  • Here's the uncomfortable truth.
  • 00:00:26.018 --> 00:00:28.387
  • Most of what god does in you, he does where
  • 00:00:28.387 --> 00:00:31.023
  • There's no one clapping.
  • 00:00:31.023 --> 00:00:32.958
  • In a world obsessed with visibility,
  • 00:00:32.958 --> 00:00:35.294
  • Heaven is obsessed with your development.
  • 00:00:35.294 --> 00:00:38.464
  • If you skip nazareth, you might get attention.
  • 00:00:38.464 --> 00:00:41.467
  • But god knows that you'll never get authority.”
  • 00:00:41.467 --> 00:00:44.837
  • This path is already narrow
  • 00:00:44.837 --> 00:00:47.773
  • And we will forge forward making no excuse
  • 00:00:47.773 --> 00:00:50.709
  • For why we can live uncompromised in this generation
  • 00:00:50.709 --> 00:00:54.580
  • Give me a hundred people who will walk that narrow road
  • 00:00:55.647 --> 00:00:59.084
  • And say, “i may have some things in my family,
  • 00:00:59.084 --> 00:01:02.721
  • But i█m where it runs out.”
  • 00:01:02.721 --> 00:01:07.793
  • So i wrote you a letter because we're friends,
  • 00:01:08.694 --> 00:01:11.830
  • And, you know, i wrote it,
  • 00:01:11.830 --> 00:01:13.632
  • I wrote it by hand.
  • 00:01:13.632 --> 00:01:14.633
  • I kind of have, like, a doctor's handwriting.
  • 00:01:14.633 --> 00:01:16.735
  • But a lot of times when i'm preparing
  • 00:01:16.735 --> 00:01:18.270
  • These sermons, i pray for you.
  • 00:01:18.270 --> 00:01:20.172
  • Some of you are like, you never even met me.
  • 00:01:20.172 --> 00:01:21.740
  • How do you know me?
  • 00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:22.641
  • By the spirit.
  • 00:01:22.641 --> 00:01:23.542
  • I know you.
  • 00:01:23.542 --> 00:01:24.276
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:01:24.276 --> 00:01:24.877
  • The holy spirit
  • 00:01:24.877 --> 00:01:25.944
  • Will give better information than a conversation.
  • 00:01:25.944 --> 00:01:28.714
  • And i pray for you.
  • 00:01:28.714 --> 00:01:30.149
  • I and i was sitting here, i was like, how could i█
  • 00:01:30.149 --> 00:01:33.018
  • After i finished
  • 00:01:33.018 --> 00:01:34.052
  • Writing this sermon, i said if i were to write
  • 00:01:34.052 --> 00:01:35.888
  • Them a letter as a friend, what would i tell them?
  • 00:01:35.888 --> 00:01:38.056
  • And this is something
  • 00:01:38.056 --> 00:01:38.991
  • I've been doing because i don't know.
  • 00:01:38.991 --> 00:01:40.225
  • I just think it's cool.
  • 00:01:40.225 --> 00:01:41.360
  • You know, in an ai world,
  • 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:43.328
  • I feel like i'm running the opposite direction.
  • 00:01:43.328 --> 00:01:45.531
  • Does that make sense?
  • 00:01:45.531 --> 00:01:46.932
  • It's like i'm going analog
  • 00:01:46.932 --> 00:01:48.367
  • While everybody else is going digital.
  • 00:01:48.367 --> 00:01:50.335
  • So is that all right if i'm old school?
  • 00:01:50.335 --> 00:01:53.071
  • Okay. “dear friend,
  • 00:01:53.071 --> 00:01:55.374
  • If you've been feeling confused,
  • 00:01:56.074 --> 00:01:58.577
  • If you've been feeling uncertain
  • 00:01:58.577 --> 00:02:00.779
  • And even unseen, you're actually in good company.
  • 00:02:00.779 --> 00:02:04.550
  • And this is a message for you.
  • 00:02:04.550 --> 00:02:06.385
  • Before jesus ever healed a sick body,
  • 00:02:06.385 --> 00:02:09.087
  • Before he ever cast out a demon,
  • 00:02:09.087 --> 00:02:11.156
  • Before he ever preached a sermon that shook cities,
  • 00:02:11.156 --> 00:02:14.226
  • He lived 30 years, virtually unseen.
  • 00:02:14.226 --> 00:02:17.429
  • No crowds, no platform,
  • 00:02:17.429 --> 00:02:19.364
  • No miracles, no applause by an audience.
  • 00:02:19.364 --> 00:02:23.001
  • Just carpentry, calloused hands, family tension,
  • 00:02:23.001 --> 00:02:27.506
  • Ordinary days, nazareth.
  • 00:02:27.506 --> 00:02:30.409
  • And, here's the uncomfortable truth.
  • 00:02:30.409 --> 00:02:33.345
  • Most of what god does in you, he does where
  • 00:02:33.345 --> 00:02:36.114
  • There's no one clapping.
  • 00:02:36.114 --> 00:02:39.184
  • In a world obsessed with visibility,
  • 00:02:39.184 --> 00:02:41.520
  • Heaven is obsessed with your development.
  • 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.690
  • If you skip nazareth, you might get attention.
  • 00:02:44.690 --> 00:02:48.193
  • But god knows that you'll never get authority.
  • 00:02:48.193 --> 00:02:51.930
  • Even for jesus, sonship in nazareth proceeded
  • 00:02:52.864 --> 00:02:57.202
  • Savior work in capernaum.
  • 00:02:57.202 --> 00:03:00.038
  • “don't repeat this semester because, like jesus,
  • 00:03:00.038 --> 00:03:04.042
  • You can graduate it.”
  • 00:03:04.042 --> 00:03:05.711
  • You know, a lot of times
  • 00:03:05.711 --> 00:03:06.712
  • Christians are like, “i'm in a season.”
  • 00:03:06.712 --> 00:03:07.913
  • You're not in a season,
  • 00:03:07.913 --> 00:03:08.947
  • You're in a semester and you keep flunking it,
  • 00:03:08.947 --> 00:03:11.116
  • And i'm going to help you pass your test.
  • 00:03:11.116 --> 00:03:12.784
  • Are you ready?
  • 00:03:12.784 --> 00:03:13.952
  • Come on.
  • 00:03:13.952 --> 00:03:14.686
  • So a lot of you maybe been been
  • 00:03:14.686 --> 00:03:16.255
  • Feeling a spirit of confusion or physical confusion
  • 00:03:16.255 --> 00:03:19.358
  • In your flesh.
  • 00:03:19.358 --> 00:03:20.158
  • And i want to deal with that today.
  • 00:03:20.158 --> 00:03:21.326
  • Let's look at luke chapter two, verses 51 and 52.
  • 00:03:21.326 --> 00:03:24.663
  • Now it says,
  • 00:03:24.663 --> 00:03:27.866
  • Everybody say, nazareth.
  • 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.102
  • Nazareth is where he lived his life.
  • 00:03:30.102 --> 00:03:31.870
  • Okay.
  • 00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:32.871
  • On the count of three, shout out
  • 00:03:32.871 --> 00:03:34.172
  • Where you were born and rai█
  • 00:03:34.172 --> 00:03:35.674
  • Like where you were raised your childhood.
  • 00:03:35.674 --> 00:03:37.442
  • One, two, three.
  • 00:03:37.442 --> 00:03:39.811
  • Wow, that's a lot of trauma.
  • 00:03:39.811 --> 00:03:42.381
  • Okay, so we all have your hometown, right?
  • 00:03:42.381 --> 00:03:45.183
  • How many of you know a prophet is without honor
  • 00:03:45.183 --> 00:03:48.020
  • In his hometown?
  • 00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:49.855
  • Nazareth did not understand jesus because jesus
  • 00:03:49.855 --> 00:03:52.958
  • Was mary and joseph█s son, not god's son.
  • 00:03:52.958 --> 00:03:56.128
  • They thought that they knew who he was
  • 00:03:56.128 --> 00:03:58.363
  • And so when you look
  • 00:03:58.363 --> 00:03:59.464
  • At this picture, it's very important to understand
  • 00:03:59.464 --> 00:04:01.566
  • What was happening in nazareth.
  • 00:04:01.566 --> 00:04:03.035
  • Now most preachers, they skip this all together,
  • 00:04:03.035 --> 00:04:05.804
  • Which is why there's not
  • 00:04:05.804 --> 00:04:06.738
  • A lot of in-depth teaching,
  • 00:04:06.738 --> 00:04:08.373
  • Because we like the exciting stuff.
  • 00:04:08.373 --> 00:04:10.676
  • But i see that there was necessary
  • 00:04:10.676 --> 00:04:12.678
  • 30 years of development for three years of ministry
  • 00:04:12.678 --> 00:04:15.814
  • Because this became the anchor,
  • 00:04:15.814 --> 00:04:17.949
  • The thing that stabilized and even made possible
  • 00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:20.986
  • Everything that happened after it.
  • 00:04:20.986 --> 00:04:22.854
  • So let's read it together.
  • 00:04:22.854 --> 00:04:36.601
  • Everybody say wisdom.
  • 00:04:37.102 --> 00:04:39.504
  • Say stature.
  • 00:04:39.838 --> 00:04:41.840
  • Everybody say favor.
  • 00:04:42.307 --> 00:04:47.045
  • I█m going to tell you a secret.
  • 00:04:47.679 --> 00:04:49.715
  • I've met some people
  • 00:04:49.715 --> 00:04:50.749
  • That they have a problem with everybody.
  • 00:04:50.749 --> 00:04:52.784
  • They're like, “oh, yeah, i went to that church.
  • 00:04:52.784 --> 00:04:54.886
  • Everybody was looking at me all crazy.
  • 00:04:54.886 --> 00:04:56.922
  • You know, i went there. yeah.
  • 00:04:56.922 --> 00:04:57.823
  • I don't like them that█”
  • 00:04:57.823 --> 00:04:58.724
  • No, if you have a
  • 00:04:58.724 --> 00:04:59.691
  • Problem with everybody, you█re the problem.
  • 00:04:59.691 --> 00:05:02.728
  • I understand opposition. people are like,
  • 00:05:03.595 --> 00:05:06.031
  • “yeah, there's some demons in those people.”
  • 00:05:06.031 --> 00:05:07.666
  • There are. but it's not always demonic.
  • 00:05:07.666 --> 00:05:09.801
  • Sometimes it's actually their mirror neurons
  • 00:05:09.801 --> 00:05:13.138
  • Actually reflecting your face back to you.
  • 00:05:13.138 --> 00:05:16.742
  • But my point is, what you sow is what you reap, right?
  • 00:05:16.742 --> 00:05:21.546
  • And so jesus increased in favor with man
  • 00:05:21.546 --> 00:05:24.182
  • When he was in his younger years
  • 00:05:24.182 --> 00:05:25.951
  • Because he was submissive to authority,
  • 00:05:25.951 --> 00:05:28.520
  • Because he was obedient,
  • 00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:30.155
  • Because he went into the temple
  • 00:05:30.155 --> 00:05:32.090
  • And was dialoging the torah with intellectual giants,
  • 00:05:32.090 --> 00:05:36.261
  • But then went home and did the dishes.
  • 00:05:36.261 --> 00:05:38.330
  • And some of you want to do the discourse,
  • 00:05:38.330 --> 00:05:40.432
  • But not the dishes.
  • 00:05:40.432 --> 00:05:41.666
  • Some of you want to do youtube,
  • 00:05:41.666 --> 00:05:43.402
  • But you don't want to take care of you too.
  • 00:05:43.402 --> 00:05:45.203
  • You know what i'm saying?
  • 00:05:45.203 --> 00:05:46.371
  • It's like the lord is trying to get you
  • 00:05:46.371 --> 00:05:47.839
  • To be faithful in nazareth
  • 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.341
  • Before he releases you to capernaum.
  • 00:05:49.341 --> 00:05:51.576
  • And what i love about the early years of
  • 00:05:51.576 --> 00:05:53.345
  • Jesus
  • 00:05:53.345 --> 00:05:54.479
  • Is that they were extremely important to his future.
  • 00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:58.116
  • And by the way, we got█
  • 00:05:58.116 --> 00:05:59.284
  • I got to talk to the single people right now.
  • 00:05:59.284 --> 00:06:01.052
  • I haven't been single in a long time,
  • 00:06:01.052 --> 00:06:02.621
  • But i'm i'm a learner and i'm watching gen z and i'm
  • 00:06:02.621 --> 00:06:05.190
  • Watching the millennials and i█
  • 00:06:05.190 --> 00:06:06.525
  • I got to pastor you right now.
  • 00:06:06.525 --> 00:06:07.959
  • Can i get up in your business?
  • 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.829
  • Jesus in heaven
  • 00:06:11.196 --> 00:06:12.731
  • Right now is a physical body, not a spiritual one.
  • 00:06:12.731 --> 00:06:16.568
  • When jesus resurrected, he bodily resurrected,
  • 00:06:16.568 --> 00:06:19.604
  • Which means seated at the right hand of
  • 00:06:19.604 --> 00:06:21.406
  • The father is a physical body with the dna of mary.
  • 00:06:21.406 --> 00:06:24.843
  • Did you ever think about that?
  • 00:06:25.444 --> 00:06:27.212
  • We often think about heaven as some esoteric, ethereal,
  • 00:06:27.212 --> 00:06:31.049
  • Spiritual place.
  • 00:06:31.049 --> 00:06:32.217
  • It's like, no, no, no. jesus bodily resurrected,
  • 00:06:32.217 --> 00:06:34.686
  • He told thomas
  • 00:06:34.686 --> 00:06:35.921
  • Literally touch my physical body as proof.
  • 00:06:35.921 --> 00:06:38.790
  • And then he ascended and he█s
  • 00:06:38.790 --> 00:06:40.258
  • Seated at the right hand of the father.
  • 00:06:40.258 --> 00:06:42.027
  • So some of you need to get out of your mind
  • 00:06:42.027 --> 00:06:43.929
  • All of these baby fat angels
  • 00:06:43.929 --> 00:06:45.730
  • That are sitting on clouds playing harps,
  • 00:06:45.730 --> 00:06:48.133
  • And you need to understand
  • 00:06:48.133 --> 00:06:49.067
  • How real and tangible your faith is.
  • 00:06:49.067 --> 00:06:52.204
  • And and the reason why i say that is because.
  • 00:06:52.204 --> 00:06:55.106
  • And i know this is going to
  • 00:06:55.106 --> 00:06:56.274
  • Be awkward, but jesus felt sexual desire.
  • 00:06:56.274 --> 00:07:00.779
  • And i know y'all don't want to think about that.
  • 00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:03.348
  • But the thing is,
  • 00:07:03.348 --> 00:07:04.349
  • The bible says he was tempted in every way,
  • 00:07:04.349 --> 00:07:06.852
  • But he didn't yield to the temptation,
  • 00:07:06.852 --> 00:07:09.488
  • And it was his ability to endure that temptation
  • 00:07:09.488 --> 00:07:12.457
  • That gives you
  • 00:07:12.457 --> 00:07:13.592
  • His ability to endure, gives you authority to endure.
  • 00:07:13.592 --> 00:07:17.462
  • So if jesus was single and sinless,
  • 00:07:17.462 --> 00:07:20.098
  • You can be single and sinless.
  • 00:07:20.098 --> 00:07:22.100
  • Can i get an amen? oh come on.
  • 00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:24.870
  • So a single person just got delivered in the front row.
  • 00:07:24.870 --> 00:07:27.239
  • Praise god!
  • 00:07:27.239 --> 00:07:29.207
  • Jesus was single and sinless so you could be
  • 00:07:29.207 --> 00:07:31.710
  • Single and sinless.
  • 00:07:31.710 --> 00:07:32.677
  • But now let me switch to my married folks.
  • 00:07:32.677 --> 00:07:35.614
  • And if you're single and you're
  • 00:07:35.614 --> 00:07:36.882
  • Going to get married, let me tell you something.
  • 00:07:36.882 --> 00:07:38.683
  • If you don't yield
  • 00:07:38.683 --> 00:07:40.252
  • To every sexual desire you have when you're single,
  • 00:07:40.252 --> 00:07:43.255
  • You will have restraint to not cheat
  • 00:07:43.255 --> 00:07:45.423
  • When you're married and your desires are not met.
  • 00:07:45.423 --> 00:07:49.761
  • Because if you condition yourself,
  • 00:07:50.495 --> 00:07:52.330
  • Even on a neurological level,
  • 00:07:52.330 --> 00:07:54.466
  • To give in to every sexual impulse you have,
  • 00:07:54.466 --> 00:07:57.369
  • You think that's going to change when you get married?
  • 00:07:57.369 --> 00:08:01.006
  • So being sinless in a single season is actually
  • 00:08:01.006 --> 00:08:04.109
  • What qualifies you to be faithful in a married season?
  • 00:08:04.109 --> 00:08:07.712
  • Oh, i█m giving you wisdom.
  • 00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:10.115
  • Okay.
  • 00:08:10.115 --> 00:08:11.182
  • Next i'm going to keep going a little bit deeper
  • 00:08:11.182 --> 00:08:13.652
  • On this message.
  • 00:08:13.652 --> 00:08:14.786
  • Nazareth is the school of sonship.
  • 00:08:14.786 --> 00:08:18.290
  • And for you, if you're a woman, it's
  • 00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:19.658
  • A school of becoming a daughter.
  • 00:08:19.658 --> 00:08:21.660
  • And you might be in a nazareth now,
  • 00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:24.229
  • But i want you to write this down;
  • 00:08:24.229 --> 00:08:25.764
  • Nazareth is not punishment. it's preparation.
  • 00:08:25.764 --> 00:08:28.967
  • Nazareth is not punishment.
  • 00:08:29.568 --> 00:08:31.770
  • Nazareth is preparation.
  • 00:08:31.770 --> 00:08:33.872
  • Oh, god.
  • 00:08:33.872 --> 00:08:34.739
  • Why is my life like this?
  • 00:08:34.739 --> 00:08:36.341
  • Why do i live where i live?
  • 00:08:36.341 --> 00:08:37.909
  • Why do i work where i work?
  • 00:08:37.909 --> 00:08:39.411
  • It's like, listen, what if it is not punishment?
  • 00:08:39.411 --> 00:08:42.180
  • It's god's preparation.
  • 00:08:42.180 --> 00:08:44.349
  • There's wisdom to this.
  • 00:08:44.349 --> 00:08:45.684
  • There's wisdom to this. it's█
  • 00:08:45.684 --> 00:08:47.719
  • As a matter of fact, you can write this down as well;
  • 00:08:47.719 --> 00:08:50.055
  • It is not god's delay.
  • 00:08:50.055 --> 00:08:52.290
  • It's god's development.
  • 00:08:52.290 --> 00:08:54.626
  • It's not god's delay. it's not█
  • 00:08:54.626 --> 00:08:56.328
  • It's god's development.
  • 00:08:56.328 --> 00:08:57.629
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:08:57.629 --> 00:08:58.530
  • I don't know how this started,
  • 00:08:58.530 --> 00:09:00.098
  • But it's almost like some of y'all feel like
  • 00:09:00.098 --> 00:09:02.100
  • Because you are 26 years old,
  • 00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:04.002
  • You're too old now and i rebuke you.
  • 00:09:04.002 --> 00:09:07.305
  • Well, i didn't make it by now.
  • 00:09:08.006 --> 00:09:09.741
  • I didn't do it by█
  • 00:09:09.741 --> 00:09:10.375
  • It█s like,
  • 00:09:10.375 --> 00:09:10.909
  • What instagram fantasy
  • 00:09:10.909 --> 00:09:12.510
  • Are you replicating your life against?
  • 00:09:12.510 --> 00:09:15.113
  • Come on, why don't you just go
  • 00:09:15.113 --> 00:09:16.648
  • Rent a luxury vehicle for a few days and an airbnb
  • 00:09:16.648 --> 00:09:19.884
  • And make you feel like you did something?
  • 00:09:19.884 --> 00:09:21.419
  • Because that's what
  • 00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:22.354
  • Those instagram influencers did anyways.
  • 00:09:22.354 --> 00:09:25.323
  • Matter of fact, they don't have
  • 00:09:25.323 --> 00:09:26.257
  • Any more money than you do.
  • 00:09:26.257 --> 00:09:27.592
  • They just got a facade that you didn't
  • 00:09:27.592 --> 00:09:29.227
  • Put the energy in building. come on.
  • 00:09:29.227 --> 00:09:31.896
  • I'm telling you the truth.
  • 00:09:32.464 --> 00:09:33.531
  • It's like, well, i didn't make it.
  • 00:09:33.531 --> 00:09:34.566
  • Yeah, no, no, listen,
  • 00:09:34.566 --> 00:09:35.700
  • Jesus spent 30 years
  • 00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:37.335
  • In development, but god's supernatural
  • 00:09:37.335 --> 00:09:39.537
  • Acceleration came upon his life.
  • 00:09:39.537 --> 00:09:41.373
  • And in three years, he changed the world.
  • 00:09:41.373 --> 00:09:43.508
  • Listen, i'll tell you what.
  • 00:09:43.508 --> 00:09:44.609
  • You'd rather have three years with god's favor on it
  • 00:09:44.609 --> 00:09:47.345
  • Than 30 years with no favor on it.
  • 00:09:47.345 --> 00:09:49.681
  • And i say, god, develop me.
  • 00:09:49.681 --> 00:09:51.583
  • Come on, god.
  • 00:09:51.583 --> 00:09:53.385
  • Yeah, like, lord, do your work in me.
  • 00:09:53.385 --> 00:09:56.221
  • And as a matter of fact,
  • 00:09:56.221 --> 00:09:57.255
  • God will redeem every season of your life
  • 00:09:57.255 --> 00:09:59.724
  • And things that you think,
  • 00:09:59.724 --> 00:10:00.992
  • Oh, this is going to help you.
  • 00:10:00.992 --> 00:10:02.560
  • Things that you think are random,
  • 00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:04.763
  • You will get distance from it,
  • 00:10:04.763 --> 00:10:06.431
  • And god will actually reveal to you his masterpiece.
  • 00:10:06.431 --> 00:10:09.801
  • Let me show you something.
  • 00:10:09.801 --> 00:10:11.670
  • I'm kind of a nerd
  • 00:10:12.103 --> 00:10:13.038
  • And i like to go to moma.
  • 00:10:13.038 --> 00:10:14.639
  • Anybody like to go to the modern mu█ okay?
  • 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.574
  • Okay. yeah. okay. another nerd, praise god.
  • 00:10:16.574 --> 00:10:19.444
  • And so i like art.
  • 00:10:19.444 --> 00:10:22.580
  • And here's the thing.
  • 00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.648
  • I was thinking about this, when you have your face
  • 00:10:23.648 --> 00:10:27.519
  • Too close to the masterpiece,
  • 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.888
  • It's always going to look like trash.
  • 00:10:29.888 --> 00:10:32.824
  • But when you distance yourself from it,
  • 00:10:32.824 --> 00:10:35.160
  • You start to see the picture form.
  • 00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:37.729
  • And what's happening to some of you is
  • 00:10:37.729 --> 00:10:39.297
  • You're so close to your life
  • 00:10:39.297 --> 00:10:41.066
  • Because it's your life and you're living it,
  • 00:10:41.066 --> 00:10:42.701
  • That you can't even see what god's doing.
  • 00:10:42.701 --> 00:10:44.369
  • And if you pull the█
  • 00:10:44.369 --> 00:10:45.336
  • That when█ see distance is caused by years.
  • 00:10:45.336 --> 00:10:48.573
  • And as you look you say, “wow, god,
  • 00:10:48.573 --> 00:10:50.608
  • I guess you did make all things
  • 00:10:50.608 --> 00:10:52.377
  • Work together for my good.”
  • 00:10:52.377 --> 00:10:53.978
  • And even when i made a mistake,
  • 00:10:53.978 --> 00:10:55.580
  • You made a masterpiece. every█
  • 00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:57.382
  • Even when i messed up, you made it a masterpiece.
  • 00:10:57.382 --> 00:11:00.051
  • God, i spilled the ink.
  • 00:11:00.051 --> 00:11:01.553
  • But you still█. oh, come on.
  • 00:11:01.553 --> 00:11:03.588
  • Came in and orchestrated something with that.
  • 00:11:03.588 --> 00:11:06.124
  • I thought that i trashed the thing
  • 00:11:06.124 --> 00:11:07.892
  • But for with you, all things become new.
  • 00:11:07.892 --> 00:11:10.562
  • And there's something about. god is the master artist.
  • 00:11:10.562 --> 00:11:13.198
  • And i got to see what happens in
  • 00:11:13.198 --> 00:11:14.699
  • Worship is god changes your perspective.
  • 00:11:14.699 --> 00:11:17.402
  • What happens in the intimacy of prayer as he takes you up
  • 00:11:17.402 --> 00:11:20.338
  • Into the spiritual realm
  • 00:11:20.338 --> 00:11:21.706
  • And you start to get some distance
  • 00:11:21.706 --> 00:11:23.441
  • And you can see what he was doing.
  • 00:11:23.441 --> 00:11:25.844
  • I'll tell you what,
  • 00:11:26.311 --> 00:11:27.245
  • I'll never forget the very first christmas
  • 00:11:27.245 --> 00:11:29.481
  • That i raised funds here in new york city
  • 00:11:29.481 --> 00:11:31.483
  • To distribute food in the orphanages.
  • 00:11:31.483 --> 00:11:33.885
  • And, you know, there's like this housing developments
  • 00:11:33.885 --> 00:11:36.321
  • In these different places that, you know, new
  • 00:11:36.321 --> 00:11:38.156
  • York city is a wild place with a lot of spaces.
  • 00:11:38.156 --> 00:11:40.925
  • And i had a burden and i said,
  • 00:11:40.925 --> 00:11:43.194
  • I went without christmas presents.
  • 00:11:43.194 --> 00:11:45.230
  • I went without food.
  • 00:11:45.230 --> 00:11:46.231
  • So the first year of this church's existence,
  • 00:11:46.231 --> 00:11:48.433
  • I said, what if we went into new york city
  • 00:11:48.433 --> 00:11:50.368
  • And we went into
  • 00:11:50.368 --> 00:11:51.770
  • Transitional housing and we
  • 00:11:51.770 --> 00:11:53.104
  • And we just overwhelmed these people?
  • 00:11:53.104 --> 00:11:55.607
  • Well, i think over $200,000 came in for that initiative.
  • 00:11:55.607 --> 00:12:00.545
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:12:00.545 --> 00:12:01.513
  • I couldn't even bring that amount of money
  • 00:12:01.513 --> 00:12:03.047
  • In for our actual church.
  • 00:12:03.047 --> 00:12:05.049
  • But when i told new yorkers, let's give for this
  • 00:12:05.049 --> 00:12:07.852
  • Initiative, money came in from every direction.
  • 00:12:07.852 --> 00:12:10.088
  • And we actually went to a target
  • 00:12:10.088 --> 00:12:12.056
  • And we took the target over.
  • 00:12:12.056 --> 00:12:13.825
  • And i had hundreds of people with carts
  • 00:12:13.825 --> 00:12:15.493
  • Pushing the carts through the target
  • 00:12:15.493 --> 00:12:16.961
  • And just making it rain, all these presents.
  • 00:12:16.961 --> 00:12:18.963
  • And we went into all these
  • 00:12:18.963 --> 00:12:20.565
  • Places of new york city, and we blessed people and man.
  • 00:12:20.565 --> 00:12:23.368
  • I wept and i wept and i wept.
  • 00:12:23.368 --> 00:12:25.503
  • There were kids coming down from their apartments,
  • 00:12:25.503 --> 00:12:28.139
  • And they were we were handing them
  • 00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:29.674
  • Good gifts, you know what i mean?
  • 00:12:29.674 --> 00:12:30.942
  • Not socks like good stuff.
  • 00:12:30.942 --> 00:12:33.878
  • And these kids were, like, in disbelief.
  • 00:12:33.878 --> 00:12:36.381
  • They were like, wow.
  • 00:12:36.381 --> 00:12:37.515
  • What? like they didn't even know how to register
  • 00:12:37.515 --> 00:12:39.450
  • And i was balling my eyes out.
  • 00:12:39.450 --> 00:12:40.685
  • And as i was walking
  • 00:12:40.685 --> 00:12:41.786
  • The streets of brooklyn and i was headed home,
  • 00:12:41.786 --> 00:12:43.555
  • The lord spoke to me and said, mike,
  • 00:12:43.555 --> 00:12:45.690
  • Now that i've brought you this far in your journey,
  • 00:12:45.690 --> 00:12:48.693
  • If you
  • 00:12:48.893 --> 00:12:49.761
  • Could do your childhood over again,
  • 00:12:49.761 --> 00:12:52.363
  • Would you change anything?
  • 00:12:52.363 --> 00:12:54.432
  • Would you?
  • 00:12:54.432 --> 00:12:55.200
  • Would you give yourself presents
  • 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.569
  • Knowing that by not having nothing,
  • 00:12:57.569 --> 00:13:00.171
  • I would cultivate a heart for you to give everything?
  • 00:13:00.171 --> 00:13:03.741
  • And i said, lord, take me through it again.
  • 00:13:03.741 --> 00:13:07.378
  • See, there's some of these things
  • 00:13:07.378 --> 00:13:08.479
  • You guys are going through right now
  • 00:13:08.479 --> 00:13:09.647
  • That you're like, god, this hurts so bad.
  • 00:13:09.647 --> 00:13:11.349
  • But if you can get on the other side of it,
  • 00:13:11.349 --> 00:13:13.618
  • You'll see that he did something inside of you.
  • 00:13:13.618 --> 00:13:15.887
  • Because whatever you lack,
  • 00:13:15.887 --> 00:13:17.889
  • God creates a desire for you to have.
  • 00:13:17.889 --> 00:13:20.225
  • I'll put it like this.
  • 00:13:20.225 --> 00:13:21.159
  • Some of you went to some dry dead churches
  • 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.461
  • And you're like, god,
  • 00:13:23.461 --> 00:13:24.362
  • I wasted years of my life in a church
  • 00:13:24.362 --> 00:13:26.431
  • That never discipled me and is█ no, no, no.
  • 00:13:26.431 --> 00:13:28.399
  • You were being discipled.
  • 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.301
  • The dryness of that church was discipling you
  • 00:13:30.301 --> 00:13:32.971
  • To hunger and thirst for the supernatural
  • 00:13:32.971 --> 00:13:35.340
  • And to hunger and thirst for the word of god.
  • 00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:37.508
  • Oh, yeah.
  • 00:13:37.508 --> 00:13:38.509
  • Sometimes i'll cause you to serve under saul
  • 00:13:38.509 --> 00:13:40.345
  • So that you never become him, david.
  • 00:13:40.345 --> 00:13:42.480
  • Sometimes i'll put you in a situation where i withhold
  • 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.884
  • To cause a hunger and a desire
  • 00:13:45.884 --> 00:13:47.685
  • To rise up inside of you.
  • 00:13:47.685 --> 00:13:48.887
  • So you're like, it's a wasted season.
  • 00:13:48.887 --> 00:13:50.521
  • I gave that church all of my years.
  • 00:13:50.521 --> 00:13:52.257
  • No, no, no. god gave you a hunger in that church.
  • 00:13:52.257 --> 00:13:55.326
  • God gave you a desire in that church,
  • 00:13:55.326 --> 00:13:57.195
  • And nothing was wasted.
  • 00:13:57.195 --> 00:13:58.830
  • And then when he█ matter of fact the only reason why you can
  • 00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:01.399
  • You can respect a revival in reformation church
  • 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.903
  • Is because you went to one where you cried out
  • 00:14:04.903 --> 00:14:06.905
  • For revival and it never happened.
  • 00:14:06.905 --> 00:14:10.141
  • So thank you, god.
  • 00:14:10.575 --> 00:14:12.343
  • The lord gives and the lord takes away.
  • 00:14:12.343 --> 00:14:16.047
  • But blessed█ oh, some of y'all learning today.
  • 00:14:16.047 --> 00:14:19.684
  • Okay, let's go back to the scriptures.
  • 00:14:19.684 --> 00:14:21.519
  • Let's█ are y'all with me?
  • 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.921
  • Can i have five more minutes?
  • 00:14:22.921 --> 00:14:25.023
  • Okay. come on.
  • 00:14:25.023 --> 00:14:25.957
  • I'm cooking.
  • 00:14:25.957 --> 00:14:29.060
  • Here's the revelation.
  • 00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:30.828
  • And i'm saying this.
  • 00:14:30.828 --> 00:14:32.096
  • I'm connecting it all together, now, for you.
  • 00:14:32.096 --> 00:14:34.432
  • Nazareth trained jesus to carry power
  • 00:14:34.432 --> 00:14:37.502
  • Without needing to prove himself.
  • 00:14:37.502 --> 00:14:40.571
  • Nazareth taught jesus to carry power without
  • 00:14:40.571 --> 00:14:43.541
  • Having to prove himself.
  • 00:14:43.541 --> 00:14:45.076
  • This is why later
  • 00:14:45.076 --> 00:14:46.110
  • He can stand in silence before pilate,
  • 00:14:46.110 --> 00:14:49.247
  • Because he's been in
  • 00:14:49.247 --> 00:14:50.181
  • Silence in nazareth before.
  • 00:14:50.181 --> 00:14:52.583
  • The seasons connect.
  • 00:14:52.583 --> 00:14:54.452
  • The reason why you have a desire for revival
  • 00:14:54.452 --> 00:14:57.455
  • Is because you sat in environments that were dry
  • 00:14:57.455 --> 00:15:00.158
  • And full of pride and arrogance.
  • 00:15:00.158 --> 00:15:02.393
  • See, it all comes together.
  • 00:15:02.393 --> 00:15:03.761
  • The lord unites those seasons of your life,
  • 00:15:03.761 --> 00:15:06.331
  • And silence
  • 00:15:06.331 --> 00:15:07.231
  • Becomes a weapon
  • 00:15:07.231 --> 00:15:08.333
  • For somebody, forged in submission, and obscurity.
  • 00:15:08.333 --> 00:15:11.569
  • Because if you don't know how to be silent in a
  • 00:15:11.569 --> 00:15:13.838
  • In obscurity,
  • 00:15:13.838 --> 00:15:14.939
  • Then you won't know how to be silent in success,
  • 00:15:14.939 --> 00:15:17.709
  • Because not every season of your life
  • 00:15:18.509 --> 00:15:20.411
  • You should be runnin█ your mouth
  • 00:15:20.411 --> 00:15:21.579
  • Matter of fact, i'm still working on this.
  • 00:15:21.579 --> 00:15:23.081
  • Pray for your pastor.
  • 00:15:23.081 --> 00:15:23.881
  • I am not perfect y'all.
  • 00:15:23.881 --> 00:15:24.983
  • I know sometimes i mess up,
  • 00:15:24.983 --> 00:15:26.684
  • But it's like it's hard to discern;
  • 00:15:26.684 --> 00:15:28.519
  • When do you talk and when do you refrain?
  • 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.522
  • And so jesus learned silence in nazareth,
  • 00:15:31.522 --> 00:15:34.525
  • So that knowing that he's
  • 00:15:34.525 --> 00:15:35.960
  • Going to face pilate
  • 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.095
  • And he'll need to be silent in that moment.
  • 00:15:37.095 --> 00:15:39.764
  • And so god is█ matter of fact,
  • 00:15:39.764 --> 00:15:42.600
  • Don't take your prophetic dreams to everybody,
  • 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.570
  • Because not everybody can handle your dreams.
  • 00:15:45.570 --> 00:15:47.605
  • Joseph.
  • 00:15:47.605 --> 00:15:50.141
  • The consequence of not being
  • 00:15:50.141 --> 00:15:52.276
  • Silent can be being thrown in a well.
  • 00:15:52.276 --> 00:15:55.680
  • Matter of fact, it's christians
  • 00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:57.482
  • That are going to be some of your worst enemies.
  • 00:15:57.482 --> 00:15:59.884
  • It's█ jesus█ main issue were with people
  • 00:15:59.884 --> 00:16:02.854
  • Who thought they know█
  • 00:16:02.854 --> 00:16:03.888
  • Knew the torah, but couldn't recognize the torah
  • 00:16:03.888 --> 00:16:06.924
  • When it was standing right in front of them.
  • 00:16:06.924 --> 00:16:09.193
  • His main issue is like they
  • 00:16:09.794 --> 00:16:11.129
  • Interpret the torah, but the torah in flesh
  • 00:16:11.129 --> 00:16:13.965
  • Is standing right in front of you.
  • 00:16:13.965 --> 00:16:15.299
  • You don't even recognize it.
  • 00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:17.535
  • And so it's like, that's why we have to build a church
  • 00:16:17.535 --> 00:16:20.471
  • Here in new york city
  • 00:16:20.471 --> 00:16:21.939
  • That doesn't treat you like your past.
  • 00:16:21.939 --> 00:16:23.808
  • It treats you like your future.
  • 00:16:23.808 --> 00:16:25.610
  • We got to build a church that treats you like your god
  • 00:16:25.610 --> 00:16:28.246
  • Given destiny, not your satanic mistakes.
  • 00:16:28.246 --> 00:16:31.282
  • We got to build a church that will treat you
  • 00:16:31.282 --> 00:16:33.151
  • Like the decisions you make in the spirit, not the flesh.
  • 00:16:33.151 --> 00:16:36.220
  • And we got to remind
  • 00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:37.221
  • People who they are, not what they did,
  • 00:16:37.221 --> 00:16:39.757
  • Because the devil reminds you what you did.
  • 00:16:39.757 --> 00:16:41.893
  • But god reminds you who you are and whose you are.
  • 00:16:41.893 --> 00:16:45.797
  • And that's what we're going to be.
  • 00:16:45.797 --> 00:16:47.632
  • A matter of fact, i feel led to say it
  • 00:16:47.632 --> 00:16:49.167
  • Because we're in a bar right now,
  • 00:16:49.167 --> 00:16:51.536
  • And if you're watching on television and you're like,
  • 00:16:51.536 --> 00:16:53.404
  • I can't believe
  • 00:16:53.404 --> 00:16:54.472
  • He preached in a bar, i can't believe you don't.
  • 00:16:54.472 --> 00:16:57.341
  • Come on, i█m feeling sassy today
  • 00:16:57.975 --> 00:17:00.912
  • So i had a season after my dad died where i backslid.
  • 00:17:00.912 --> 00:17:06.217
  • And one of
  • 00:17:06.517 --> 00:17:07.718
  • The most powerful moments in my life happened in a bar.
  • 00:17:07.718 --> 00:17:09.887
  • Because i was in this bar, i was drinking.
  • 00:17:09.887 --> 00:17:12.323
  • I was carrying on.
  • 00:17:12.323 --> 00:17:13.591
  • Oh ho ho█
  • 00:17:13.591 --> 00:17:14.225
  • Yeah.
  • 00:17:14.225 --> 00:17:15.226
  • You know? hey, even noah got drunk on the ark
  • 00:17:15.226 --> 00:17:18.396
  • Some of you are like, i can't believe my█
  • 00:17:19.297 --> 00:17:20.531
  • Now, i wasn't the pastor of v1
  • 00:17:20.531 --> 00:17:22.033
  • When this story happened. don█t be blogging about this.
  • 00:17:22.033 --> 00:17:24.769
  • This█ i wasn't█
  • 00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:25.670
  • Matter of fact, i wasn't even a pastor
  • 00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:27.171
  • When this happened.
  • 00:17:27.171 --> 00:17:28.272
  • I had actually taken a break, i stepped back,
  • 00:17:28.272 --> 00:17:31.142
  • My dad died, my whole world collapsed, and i was in a bar
  • 00:17:31.142 --> 00:17:34.011
  • And my friend found out about it.
  • 00:17:34.011 --> 00:17:36.414
  • And i'll never forget, i was mortified
  • 00:17:36.414 --> 00:17:38.549
  • As he walked into the door.
  • 00:17:38.549 --> 00:17:39.750
  • I saw him from the back
  • 00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:40.718
  • And i was like talking to someone.
  • 00:17:40.718 --> 00:17:41.819
  • I said, i got to go and they're like, why?
  • 00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:44.288
  • And i said, “jesus is hunting me.”
  • 00:17:44.288 --> 00:17:46.657
  • And he came over there
  • 00:17:47.125 --> 00:17:47.191
  • And he came over there
  • 00:17:47.658 --> 00:17:48.626
  • And i'm telling you, he didn't condemn me.
  • 00:17:48.626 --> 00:17:50.828
  • He looked at me and i'll tell you,
  • 00:17:50.828 --> 00:17:52.330
  • This is one of the most powerful moments of my life.
  • 00:17:52.330 --> 00:17:54.398
  • He said, mike, i know who you are by the spirit.
  • 00:17:54.398 --> 00:17:57.902
  • You're a mighty man of god.
  • 00:17:57.902 --> 00:17:59.604
  • You're a preacher.
  • 00:17:59.604 --> 00:18:00.838
  • I know that you quit ministry,
  • 00:18:00.838 --> 00:18:02.340
  • But you're going to be back in ministry again.
  • 00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:04.542
  • And he grabbed my shirt like hard, like a man,
  • 00:18:04.542 --> 00:18:07.311
  • And he grabbed me and he literally dr█
  • 00:18:07.311 --> 00:18:09.180
  • He goes, i texted over 20 people to try to find you.
  • 00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:12.683
  • He goes, “i went to every bar i could go into.”
  • 00:18:12.683 --> 00:18:15.386
  • I mean, this guy was literally hunting me
  • 00:18:15.386 --> 00:18:18.189
  • And he says, “and i found you.”
  • 00:18:18.189 --> 00:18:19.991
  • And he dr█ and i never forget
  • 00:18:19.991 --> 00:18:21.459
  • He had a gatorade in his car in the seat
  • 00:18:21.459 --> 00:18:24.495
  • He had premeditated█
  • 00:18:24.962 --> 00:18:26.030
  • He said, now you drink this gatorade, man of god.
  • 00:18:26.030 --> 00:18:29.066
  • And now at this point i'm totally backslidden.
  • 00:18:29.066 --> 00:18:31.435
  • And he drops me off at my house,
  • 00:18:31.435 --> 00:18:33.037
  • And he sits there
  • 00:18:33.037 --> 00:18:34.105
  • And he locks the door and he just prays over me.
  • 00:18:34.105 --> 00:18:37.208
  • I'm telling you, it marked me deeply.
  • 00:18:38.009 --> 00:18:40.878
  • See, we need to become the kind of church
  • 00:18:40.878 --> 00:18:44.615
  • That hunts people down.
  • 00:18:44.615 --> 00:18:45.950
  • Not for church attendance, but for destiny appointments.
  • 00:18:45.950 --> 00:18:50.588
  • I don't█ you know what i'm trying to say?
  • 00:18:50.588 --> 00:18:52.056
  • Oh, where where are you?
  • 00:18:52.056 --> 00:18:53.224
  • You weren't at the church, and i'll forget about that.
  • 00:18:53.224 --> 00:18:54.825
  • You're not being the church.
  • 00:18:54.825 --> 00:18:56.561
  • And i'm calling you to say you have a higher calling.
  • 00:18:56.561 --> 00:18:59.430
  • And i'm calling you up, not calling you out.
  • 00:18:59.430 --> 00:19:01.933
  • And i'm saying, get back into the will of the father.
  • 00:19:01.933 --> 00:19:04.869
  • Delete that app off of your phone.
  • 00:19:04.869 --> 00:19:07.138
  • Stop gossiping, break up with that deadbeat person
  • 00:19:07.138 --> 00:19:10.708
  • And get into the will of god.
  • 00:19:10.708 --> 00:19:12.410
  • Stop drinking
  • 00:19:12.410 --> 00:19:13.244
  • Alcohol and let's get drunk on the
  • 00:19:13.244 --> 00:19:15.213
  • New wine of the holy spirit.
  • 00:19:15.213 --> 00:19:17.248
  • You are called, you are chosen
  • 00:19:17.248 --> 00:19:19.183
  • And i know who you are.
  • 00:19:19.183 --> 00:19:21.786
  • Somebody shout, come on!
  • 00:19:21.786 --> 00:19:26.524
  • I'm trying to help y'all.
  • 00:19:27.091 --> 00:19:29.093
  • And this is what was happening,
  • 00:19:29.093 --> 00:19:30.795
  • Because there was a war over jesus identity in nazareth.
  • 00:19:30.795 --> 00:19:34.699
  • There was a war over his i█
  • 00:19:34.699 --> 00:19:35.967
  • You don't think about it.
  • 00:19:35.967 --> 00:19:37.201
  • You're like, well, surely je█ no, no, jesus was█
  • 00:19:37.201 --> 00:19:39.870
  • There was a war over who he was.
  • 00:19:39.870 --> 00:19:42.073
  • This is why he asked the disciples,
  • 00:19:42.073 --> 00:19:43.708
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:19:43.708 --> 00:19:45.343
  • Because everybody had an opinion.
  • 00:19:45.343 --> 00:19:47.878
  • You know what? i think a healthy church is
  • 00:19:47.878 --> 00:19:50.581
  • A church that's like, “hey, who do you say i am?”
  • 00:19:50.581 --> 00:19:53.117
  • Do you say i'm an alcoholic?
  • 00:19:53.117 --> 00:19:55.152
  • No, i say, you're a preacher man.
  • 00:19:55.152 --> 00:19:56.654
  • I feel the anointing on this.
  • 00:19:56.654 --> 00:19:58.256
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:19:58.256 --> 00:19:59.223
  • Do you say i'm divorced and i.
  • 00:19:59.223 --> 00:20:01.525
  • And i can't do nothing for god now?
  • 00:20:01.525 --> 00:20:03.427
  • No, no, no,
  • 00:20:03.427 --> 00:20:03.928
  • I say
  • 00:20:03.928 --> 00:20:05.029
  • God can take you to the highest realms of authority
  • 00:20:05.029 --> 00:20:07.365
  • And they█ it's
  • 00:20:07.365 --> 00:20:08.366
  • Who do you say that question? who do i say█
  • 00:20:08.366 --> 00:20:10.468
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:20:10.468 --> 00:20:11.736
  • Everything jesus did;
  • 00:20:11.736 --> 00:20:13.471
  • He was modeling what we should do.
  • 00:20:13.471 --> 00:20:16.607
  • And i'll be honest with you, if you don't call me
  • 00:20:16.607 --> 00:20:19.210
  • Your pastor, i can't be your pastor.
  • 00:20:19.210 --> 00:20:21.178
  • Who do you say i am?
  • 00:20:21.178 --> 00:20:22.947
  • You know what i'm saying?
  • 00:20:22.947 --> 00:20:24.148
  • There's people that's like, no by title, but no, no, no,
  • 00:20:24.148 --> 00:20:25.683
  • I'm not saying what is my title.
  • 00:20:25.683 --> 00:20:27.485
  • I'm saying, who do you say i am?
  • 00:20:27.485 --> 00:20:29.487
  • And this goes all the way around.
  • 00:20:29.487 --> 00:20:30.788
  • And there's something holy about that.
  • 00:20:30.788 --> 00:20:33.257
  • You know, i'll be honest with you.
  • 00:20:33.257 --> 00:20:34.925
  • The local church should be the place
  • 00:20:34.925 --> 00:20:37.361
  • Where we see who you really are,
  • 00:20:37.361 --> 00:20:38.863
  • Even if your own family doesn't.
  • 00:20:38.863 --> 00:20:40.698
  • And i know that scandalous.
  • 00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:42.533
  • But family has expectations and some of them aren█t holy.
  • 00:20:42.533 --> 00:20:46.370
  • Sometimes your family wants you to be something,
  • 00:20:46.370 --> 00:20:49.040
  • And they even limit the smallness of who you are.
  • 00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:51.042
  • But god has a different idea who wants god's vision?
  • 00:20:51.042 --> 00:20:54.545
  • Come on
  • 00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:56.414
  • I would love to meet you in person
  • 00:20:56.414 --> 00:20:59.050
  • As we retrace the steps of the apostle paul
  • 00:20:59.050 --> 00:21:02.553
  • On an unforgettable journey through greece and turkey.
  • 00:21:02.553 --> 00:21:06.324
  • It█s going to be a five-star exp
  • 00:21:06.324 --> 00:21:08.492
  • With, not only incredible hotels
  • 00:21:08.492 --> 00:21:10.761
  • But also a cruise
  • 00:21:10.761 --> 00:21:12.396
  • And we█re going to go to the very places that scripture
  • 00:21:12.396 --> 00:21:14.865
  • Was written
  • 00:21:14.865 --> 00:21:16.033
  • Including patmos
  • 00:21:16.033 --> 00:21:17.468
  • Including patmos where the book of revelation was written
  • 00:21:17.468 --> 00:21:19.603
  • By john.
  • 00:21:19.603 --> 00:21:20.504
  • I cannot wait to meet you in per
  • 00:21:20.504 --> 00:21:22.606
  • But seats are limited although they█re still available
  • 00:21:22.606 --> 00:21:26.277
  • So you have to make the decision now.
  • 00:21:26.277 --> 00:21:28.446
  • The information█s here on the screen.
  • 00:21:28.446 --> 00:21:30.715
  • Go ahead and take advantage of an experience
  • 00:21:30.715 --> 00:21:33.684
  • That will last a lifetime.
  • 00:21:33.684 --> 00:21:35.519
  • I want to pray with you at these locations.
  • 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.855
  • As we invite the presence of the holy spirit
  • 00:21:37.855 --> 00:21:40.491
  • I want to teach you exactly what was happening in culture
  • 00:21:40.491 --> 00:21:43.894
  • As the scriptures were written.
  • 00:21:43.894 --> 00:21:45.496
  • I want to have some incredible m together, with you.
  • 00:21:45.496 --> 00:21:48.899
  • It█s going to be amazing!
  • 00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:50.968
  • But i need you to make that decision now
  • 00:21:50.968 --> 00:21:53.170
  • Before all of the seats are gone
  • 00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:55.973
  • It█s going to be amazing and i can█t wait to meet you.
  • 00:21:55.973 --> 00:21:58.909
  • Go ahead make that decision to retrace the steps
  • 00:21:58.909 --> 00:22:02.747
  • Of the apostle paul with mike signorelli
  • 00:22:02.747 --> 00:22:05.983
  • On tour.
  • 00:22:05.983 --> 00:22:06.817
  • Can█t wait to see you there!
  • 00:22:06.817 --> 00:22:11.489
  • I want to show you something now,
  • 00:22:12.189 --> 00:22:13.924
  • Because we're talking about these christians
  • 00:22:13.924 --> 00:22:15.326
  • That won't know who you are.
  • 00:22:15.326 --> 00:22:16.994
  • So what happened to jesus in nazareth,
  • 00:22:16.994 --> 00:22:19.029
  • It was not an accident.
  • 00:22:19.029 --> 00:22:20.698
  • And there was this
  • 00:22:20.698 --> 00:22:21.766
  • Whole person formation that we're talking about.
  • 00:22:21.766 --> 00:22:24.802
  • And it didn't necessarily
  • 00:22:24.802 --> 00:22:27.505
  • Develop his theology.
  • 00:22:27.505 --> 00:22:29.373
  • It was developing his central nervous system,
  • 00:22:29.373 --> 00:22:32.209
  • Because jesus body physically had to learn how to wait.
  • 00:22:32.209 --> 00:22:35.846
  • His body physically had to learn
  • 00:22:35.846 --> 00:22:37.381
  • How to submit to authority.
  • 00:22:37.381 --> 00:22:38.949
  • His body physically had to learn
  • 00:22:38.949 --> 00:22:40.618
  • How to love people who misunderstood him.
  • 00:22:40.618 --> 00:22:43.220
  • You've got to acclimate to that.
  • 00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:44.822
  • Last night somebody asked me the question. they said.
  • 00:22:44.822 --> 00:22:47.124
  • They said, “pastor mike,
  • 00:22:47.124 --> 00:22:48.325
  • You know, i have a ministry that's very misunderstood.
  • 00:22:48.325 --> 00:22:51.028
  • What would you tell me?”
  • 00:22:51.028 --> 00:22:52.263
  • And i would say, i said, “here's my advice;
  • 00:22:52.263 --> 00:22:54.331
  • Get used to it.”
  • 00:22:54.331 --> 00:22:56.434
  • You're always█ we're always going to be misunderstood.
  • 00:22:56.434 --> 00:22:59.103
  • We are a peculiar people,
  • 00:22:59.103 --> 00:23:01.105
  • A royal priesthood, a chosen generation.
  • 00:23:01.105 --> 00:23:04.141
  • If everybody understood you,
  • 00:23:04.141 --> 00:23:06.076
  • It would be the evidence that you were common.
  • 00:23:06.076 --> 00:23:09.847
  • Y'all█ are you catchin█?
  • 00:23:10.381 --> 00:23:11.348
  • If everybody understood you, that's the proof
  • 00:23:11.348 --> 00:23:14.084
  • You█re common.
  • 00:23:14.084 --> 00:23:15.085
  • If you make sense to them, it's
  • 00:23:15.085 --> 00:23:16.854
  • Because you're like them.
  • 00:23:16.854 --> 00:23:18.355
  • If you don't make sense to them, it's
  • 00:23:18.355 --> 00:23:20.057
  • Because you're not like them.
  • 00:23:20.057 --> 00:23:21.792
  • What makes you peculiar
  • 00:23:21.792 --> 00:23:23.427
  • Is you're different, i think, different than you.
  • 00:23:23.427 --> 00:23:25.563
  • I talk different than you.
  • 00:23:25.563 --> 00:23:26.897
  • You speak in fear. i speak in faith.
  • 00:23:26.897 --> 00:23:29.500
  • You speak in worry and anxiety.
  • 00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:31.168
  • I feel anxiety, but i don't submit to my feelings.
  • 00:23:31.168 --> 00:23:34.138
  • I say, thus saith the lord, come on.
  • 00:23:34.138 --> 00:23:36.540
  • You sing secular songs.
  • 00:23:36.540 --> 00:23:38.175
  • I sing songs of worship.
  • 00:23:38.175 --> 00:23:40.010
  • You dress promiscuous and i cover up my flesh
  • 00:23:40.010 --> 00:23:42.780
  • Because i'm saving it for my husband.
  • 00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:44.715
  • We're not like each other. i'm not█
  • 00:23:44.715 --> 00:23:46.817
  • Oh, come on, somebody and you're not.
  • 00:23:46.817 --> 00:23:48.819
  • You're not going to understand me
  • 00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:50.154
  • Because i'm not like you.
  • 00:23:50.154 --> 00:23:51.422
  • But that's why the salt hasn't lost its savor.
  • 00:23:51.422 --> 00:23:55.526
  • In a few moments, i want to pray for you.
  • 00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:58.496
  • You know, i've seen medically
  • 00:23:58.496 --> 00:23:59.797
  • Verifiable miracles all around the world.
  • 00:23:59.797 --> 00:24:02.299
  • I want to pray for you.
  • 00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:03.501
  • I've actually seen people delivered from demons in moments
  • 00:24:03.501 --> 00:24:06.937
  • But the greatest miracle is salvation.
  • 00:24:06.937 --> 00:24:09.340
  • It's when someone who's dead in their sin, literally
  • 00:24:09.340 --> 00:24:12.376
  • Headed to hell, is saved by jesus christ
  • 00:24:12.376 --> 00:24:15.379
  • And made to be alive and headed to heaven.
  • 00:24:15.379 --> 00:24:18.682
  • And that can happen if you do what
  • 00:24:18.682 --> 00:24:20.417
  • Romans 10:9 says,
  • 00:24:20.417 --> 00:24:25.723
  • We don█t earn it, we don█t deserve it
  • 00:24:26.557 --> 00:24:29.093
  • We just receive it.
  • 00:24:29.093 --> 00:24:30.494
  • So i want you to repeat these words with me
  • 00:24:30.494 --> 00:24:32.796
  • Because i don't believe in accidents.
  • 00:24:32.796 --> 00:24:34.365
  • And the holy spirit's been drawing you.
  • 00:24:34.365 --> 00:24:36.300
  • Say it with me.
  • 00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:37.468
  • Heavenly father,
  • 00:24:37.468 --> 00:24:38.736
  • I thank you for the cross where my sins were forgiven.
  • 00:24:38.736 --> 00:24:42.640
  • Wash me with your blood.
  • 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:44.808
  • I am a disciple.
  • 00:24:44.808 --> 00:24:46.644
  • I surrender my life completely
  • 00:24:46.644 --> 00:24:48.946
  • And i will follow you on the narrow road in jesus█ nam

  • Come on, say it boldly. amen.

  • 00:24:55.853 --> 00:24:58.255
