| Mike Signorelli - Lock In | February 10, 2026
- How many people claim to get saved?
- 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:03.990
- But their cravings never change.
- 00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:06.426
- You can scroll on your phone
- 00:00:06.426 --> 00:00:08.194
- For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
- 00:00:08.194 --> 00:00:12.198
- Something's gotta change because you say.
- 00:00:13.066 --> 00:00:14.634
- If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
- 00:00:14.634 --> 00:00:17.137
- But it's about this density.
- 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:18.905
- So let me just scroll.
- 00:00:18.905 --> 00:00:20.940
- Come on, somebody.
- 00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:28.681
- Oh, oh.
- 00:00:28.915 --> 00:00:33.586
- So here's a framework i want to give you, because i believe it's time to lock in.
- 00:00:35.188 --> 00:00:37.724
- And you have an opportunity to finish the next three months of this year
- 00:00:39.192 --> 00:00:43.229
- And cross that threshold into 2026.
- 00:00:43.997 --> 00:00:46.499
- Accelerated into god's promise.
- 00:00:47.133 --> 00:00:50.036
- So, i don't know about you, but i want to take this time,
- 00:00:51.204 --> 00:00:52.772
- And i want to bring you into the promise that god has for you.
- 00:00:52.772 --> 00:00:55.475
- Can somebody say it's time to lock in?
- 00:00:55.475 --> 00:00:58.411
- Come on.
- 00:00:58.678 --> 00:00:59.712
- And so we got three months.
- 00:00:59.712 --> 00:01:01.614
- Do you believe that in the next three months you can be unrecognizable?
- 00:01:01.614 --> 00:01:05.685
- I'm not talking about just physical.
- 00:01:06.486 --> 00:01:07.921
- I'm talking about spiritual.
- 00:01:07.921 --> 00:01:09.589
- Emotional. mental.
- 00:01:09.589 --> 00:01:11.424
- Do you believe that you can take this next
- 00:01:11.424 --> 00:01:13.259
- Three months and lock in and crossover 2026?
- 00:01:13.259 --> 00:01:17.063
- Like saying devil, you had your chance, but you lost and i'm going all the way.
- 00:01:17.063 --> 00:01:22.035
- It's time to lock in y'all.
- 00:01:22.635 --> 00:01:24.604
- So i want to give you a framework.
- 00:01:24.604 --> 00:01:26.306
- So this is the framework i want to give you.
- 00:01:26.306 --> 00:01:28.508
- Because in all of my years of pastoring, this is what i've acknowledged
- 00:01:28.508 --> 00:01:32.378
- That people deal with.
- 00:01:32.378 --> 00:01:33.780
- If it's a demon, it's defeated.
- 00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:37.117
- If it's a demon, it's already defeated.
- 00:01:37.984 --> 00:01:39.552
- If it's a weakness, it must be developed.
- 00:01:39.552 --> 00:01:43.156
- And if it's a strong hold which we're going to use, the word
- 00:01:44.324 --> 00:01:46.693
- Have it interchangeable for stronghold.
- 00:01:46.693 --> 00:01:49.329
- If it's a habit, it needs to be demolished.
- 00:01:49.329 --> 00:01:52.165
- So that's the framework for all the note takers.
- 00:01:52.165 --> 00:01:54.968
- If it's a demon, it's defeated.
- 00:01:54.968 --> 00:01:57.170
- If it's a weakness, it must be developed.
- 00:01:57.170 --> 00:02:00.540
- But if it's a stronghold, it must be demolished.
- 00:02:01.508 --> 00:02:03.776
- And really, i mean, hundreds and hundreds of hours
- 00:02:04.811 --> 00:02:07.747
- Of pastoral counseling, in meetings with people looking across my desk.
- 00:02:09.115 --> 00:02:12.752
- And it's either a demon, it's either a weakness or it's a stronghold.
- 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.123
- Those are the if you're like, why is my life like this?
- 00:02:18.258 --> 00:02:19.859
- What do i need to change?
- 00:02:19.859 --> 00:02:21.194
- You are dealing with one or more of those things.
- 00:02:21.194 --> 00:02:23.496
- But let me just like, encourage you.
- 00:02:23.496 --> 00:02:26.232
- But this is going to be discouraging.
- 00:02:26.232 --> 00:02:27.901
- So hold on.
- 00:02:27.901 --> 00:02:29.202
- Two out of those three things are a process.
- 00:02:29.202 --> 00:02:32.272
- Deliverance can happen in an instant.
- 00:02:33.072 --> 00:02:35.942
- But everything else i mentioned, when you talk about developing weaknesses,
- 00:02:35.942 --> 00:02:40.313
- When you talk about demolishing habits and strongholds, those are processes
- 00:02:41.781 --> 00:02:45.418
- And your life is a result of a process.
- 00:02:46.252 --> 00:02:48.688
- Just make it intentional.
- 00:02:48.688 --> 00:02:51.157
- Like, let me put it like this.
- 00:02:51.157 --> 00:02:52.258
- I have a process.
- 00:02:52.258 --> 00:02:53.793
- It's eating everything i see.
- 00:02:53.793 --> 00:02:57.197
- So it's not something somebody in the back just went like this. amen.
- 00:02:58.631 --> 00:03:00.900
- So all of us have a habit.
- 00:03:01.467 --> 00:03:04.337
- Is it the right one?
- 00:03:04.337 --> 00:03:06.306
- All of us are living in a process that has produced who you are right now.
- 00:03:06.306 --> 00:03:11.444
- It's just. can you get intentional about it?
- 00:03:12.378 --> 00:03:13.880
- Okay, so that's what i want to break down.
- 00:03:13.880 --> 00:03:15.848
- So i want to start with this though.
- 00:03:15.848 --> 00:03:19.185
- Demons are defeated only through deliverance.
- 00:03:20.153 --> 00:03:23.656
- Demons are defeated only through deliverance.
- 00:03:24.557 --> 00:03:27.860
- Weaknesses are developed only through discipline.
- 00:03:28.795 --> 00:03:32.432
- And strongholds are demolished only through devotion.
- 00:03:33.499 --> 00:03:36.636
- This is. this is what you have to understand.
- 00:03:37.570 --> 00:03:39.305
- There's a lot of pastors and preachers that have tried to convince people
- 00:03:39.305 --> 00:03:43.109
- That if you just say the sinner's prayer, every demon is going to leave you.
- 00:03:44.577 --> 00:03:46.879
- But why did jesus christ himself never do that method?
- 00:03:47.947 --> 00:03:51.184
- So when people were demonized and the demons were literally telling
- 00:03:52.518 --> 00:03:55.121
- Jesus, why are you here? are you here to torment me?
- 00:03:55.121 --> 00:03:57.724
- Jesus didn't say, did you confess me as your lord and savior?
- 00:03:57.724 --> 00:04:01.294
- Because if you'll do that, all these demons will leave.
- 00:04:02.395 --> 00:04:04.430
- This is not the response, but in the america in church
- 00:04:05.498 --> 00:04:07.567
- Where we have not confronted the demonic and we have tried to package it
- 00:04:09.035 --> 00:04:11.271
- In something that's real palatable and like something really safe.
- 00:04:11.271 --> 00:04:15.308
- And we don't want to offend anybody.
- 00:04:15.308 --> 00:04:17.176
- We're all about the sinner's prayer, but we're not about deliverance.
- 00:04:17.176 --> 00:04:20.280
- And deliverance is not something that i introduce to the world.
- 00:04:21.481 --> 00:04:23.249
- It's something jesus introduced to the world.
- 00:04:23.249 --> 00:04:26.552
- Yeah, as a matter of fact, when you go into the old testament,
- 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.255
- There was no deliverance.
- 00:04:29.255 --> 00:04:31.024
- There was relief, but not release.
- 00:04:31.024 --> 00:04:33.760
- So when when
- 00:04:34.093 --> 00:04:35.962
- Saul, the king was being tormented by demons, he brings in somebody anointed
- 00:04:35.962 --> 00:04:40.533
- Who makes a worship said that actually brings relief, but not release.
- 00:04:41.868 --> 00:04:45.371
- And some of y'all have to get into a worship service
- 00:04:46.406 --> 00:04:48.608
- For relief because you've never done deliverance to experience, release.
- 00:04:48.608 --> 00:04:53.579
- Come on, david, play me another song.
- 00:04:54.347 --> 00:04:56.316
- No no, no.
- 00:04:56.316 --> 00:04:57.850
- Listen, somebody came out of the lineage of david named jesus
- 00:04:57.850 --> 00:05:01.387
- Who said, i didn't just come here to cause you a little bit of relief.
- 00:05:02.722 --> 00:05:04.991
- Devil, come out.
- 00:05:05.358 --> 00:05:08.494
- Come out!
- 00:05:08.795 --> 00:05:10.563
- And so you can only truly be free from what is confronted.
- 00:05:10.563 --> 00:05:14.934
- So i'm just going to rewind this.
- 00:05:15.668 --> 00:05:16.936
- Demons are defeated through deliverance.
- 00:05:16.936 --> 00:05:19.872
- So if you're watching this and you're asking like,
- 00:05:20.907 --> 00:05:22.809
- Why have i not been freed from this?
- 00:05:22.809 --> 00:05:25.178
- Maybe it's because you're confessing but not conquering,
- 00:05:25.178 --> 00:05:28.648
- And that only happens through deliverance confronting it.
- 00:05:29.816 --> 00:05:32.485
- But then weaknesses are developed through discipline.
- 00:05:33.553 --> 00:05:36.289
- And, you know, there's no shortcut for that.
- 00:05:37.223 --> 00:05:39.158
- And that's why we need each other in community to go through discipline
- 00:05:39.158 --> 00:05:42.895
- Together.
- 00:05:42.895 --> 00:05:44.297
- But then strongholds are demolished through devotion.
- 00:05:44.297 --> 00:05:47.300
- It's a funny thing how you can scroll on tik tok for hours, stay up all night,
- 00:05:48.801 --> 00:05:52.405
- But then as soon as you start to read your bible, even after
- 00:05:53.606 --> 00:05:55.975
- An energy drink, even after coffee, you start to feel the slumber.
- 00:05:55.975 --> 00:06:00.646
- Why is that?
- 00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:02.448
- Because the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
- 00:06:02.448 --> 00:06:06.819
- Deliverance without discipline is going to cause a need for more deliverance.
- 00:06:08.321 --> 00:06:14.260
- You just.
- 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.495
- And i know deliverance junkies.
- 00:06:15.495 --> 00:06:17.463
- I'm back for another round.
- 00:06:17.463 --> 00:06:18.831
- No, no, no.
- 00:06:18.831 --> 00:06:19.465
- Sit down.
- 00:06:19.465 --> 00:06:20.400
- You and all your pet demons.
- 00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:23.002
- You need. you need discipline.
- 00:06:23.002 --> 00:06:26.239
- But watch this.
- 00:06:26.606 --> 00:06:27.840
- Deliverance and discipline without devotion
- 00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:31.677
- Is going to actually cause deception.
- 00:06:32.445 --> 00:06:35.615
- Because you're not going to know the word.
- 00:06:36.482 --> 00:06:37.850
- You're going to know about the things of god,
- 00:06:37.850 --> 00:06:39.552
- But you're not going to know the word.
- 00:06:39.552 --> 00:06:40.853
- And so you're able to be deceived,
- 00:06:40.853 --> 00:06:43.022
- And then you're going to end up right in the place.
- 00:06:43.022 --> 00:06:45.358
- That matter of fact, the bible says every time you go back to where you came
- 00:06:45.358 --> 00:06:49.162
- From, it's seven times worse.
- 00:06:49.162 --> 00:06:52.498
- Look at second corinthians chapter ten with me, and i want to show you this.
- 00:06:53.933 --> 00:06:56.469
- So let's go through the text.
- 00:06:56.469 --> 00:06:57.970
- Second corinthians chapter ten, verses three through five.
- 00:06:57.970 --> 00:07:00.907
- For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to
- 00:07:00.907 --> 00:07:04.811
- The flesh.
- 00:07:04.811 --> 00:07:06.279
- For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh,
- 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.182
- But have divine power to destroy strongholds.
- 00:07:10.116 --> 00:07:12.218
- We okay, then it begins to explain.
- 00:07:12.952 --> 00:07:14.387
- We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised up
- 00:07:14.387 --> 00:07:17.256
- Against the knowledge of god and take every thought captive to obey christ.
- 00:07:17.256 --> 00:07:21.828
- So here's the thing.
- 00:07:22.295 --> 00:07:23.196
- It's very simple.
- 00:07:23.196 --> 00:07:24.664
- We walk not in the flesh.
- 00:07:24.664 --> 00:07:28.000
- We walk by the spirit in the flesh.
- 00:07:28.768 --> 00:07:31.370
- So in other words, we're not waging a war according to the flesh,
- 00:07:32.638 --> 00:07:34.707
- But we are waging a war.
- 00:07:35.208 --> 00:07:37.176
- So the question is, are you actually fighting
- 00:07:37.176 --> 00:07:40.546
- In the war that you've been assigned?
- 00:07:41.347 --> 00:07:42.281
- Let me give it to you like this.
- 00:07:42.281 --> 00:07:44.016
- When you show up to school, you go to school and you get a pencil
- 00:07:44.016 --> 00:07:47.687
- Because the tool reveals the assignment.
- 00:07:48.521 --> 00:07:50.523
- And in school, you need a pencil.
- 00:07:50.523 --> 00:07:52.558
- Because the pencil is how you write on paper.
- 00:07:52.558 --> 00:07:55.027
- To be a student, to fulfill the assignment,
- 00:07:55.027 --> 00:07:57.463
- The tool reveals the assignment.
- 00:07:57.463 --> 00:07:59.499
- But when you became a christian, you didn't get a pencil.
- 00:07:59.499 --> 00:08:02.101
- You got a sword.
- 00:08:02.101 --> 00:08:03.469
- And the sword reveals the assignment.
- 00:08:03.469 --> 00:08:05.972
- And the sword means you're going to war.
- 00:08:05.972 --> 00:08:08.241
- You're not a student.
- 00:08:08.241 --> 00:08:09.675
- You're a soldier who's learning on the battlefield.
- 00:08:09.675 --> 00:08:12.712
- And there's too many christians that are not fighting the right battle.
- 00:08:14.146 --> 00:08:16.516
- But we are waging war.
- 00:08:17.016 --> 00:08:18.417
- Is there anybody watching who has a sword?
- 00:08:18.417 --> 00:08:23.055
- Come on.
- 00:08:23.322 --> 00:08:26.259
- And people look at me like mike.
- 00:08:24.991 --> 00:08:27.660
- It doesn't take all that.
- 00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:29.061
- Oh, yeah.
- 00:08:29.061 --> 00:08:30.563
- If you're on a cruise liner, it doesn't take all that.
- 00:08:30.563 --> 00:08:32.298
- But this thing is not a cruise liner.
- 00:08:32.298 --> 00:08:34.133
- It's a battleship.
- 00:08:34.133 --> 00:08:36.802
- I've got a sword.
- 00:08:36.802 --> 00:08:39.739
- I can lead a whole generation of children.
- 00:08:39.739 --> 00:08:42.642
- Go to hell on my watch.
- 00:08:42.642 --> 00:08:45.378
- Not me.
- 00:08:45.378 --> 00:08:47.079
- This is a battle.
- 00:08:47.079 --> 00:08:49.115
- I'd rather be a warrior in a garden
- 00:08:49.115 --> 00:08:51.884
- Than a gardener in a war.
- 00:08:51.884 --> 00:08:55.221
- And that's what too many christians are.
- 00:08:56.088 --> 00:08:58.624
- It's. you're out of context.
- 00:08:58.624 --> 00:09:01.360
- I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
- 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.398
- The weapons of my warfare are not physical, but they are mighty through
- 00:09:06.832 --> 00:09:09.902
- God to the pulling down of arguments, to the pulling down of thoughts,
- 00:09:09.902 --> 00:09:14.574
- To the pulling down
- 00:09:15.041 --> 00:09:16.776
- Of anything that contradicts itself against the knowledge of god.
- 00:09:16.776 --> 00:09:19.912
- And i'm here to call you to war, and you've got to fight that war
- 00:09:21.113 --> 00:09:24.717
- In your faction, in your city,
- 00:09:25.351 --> 00:09:27.086
- In your neighborhood, in the way that god assigns you to do it.
- 00:09:27.086 --> 00:09:30.656
- And that's what makes this amazing is because we're all at our own post.
- 00:09:32.124 --> 00:09:35.995
- So everybody say stronghold.
- 00:09:36.596 --> 00:09:38.397
- So these are habits.
- 00:09:38.864 --> 00:09:40.866
- And they they basically live in arguments and they live in opinions.
- 00:09:40.866 --> 00:09:45.838
- These are ways of thinking that resist the knowledge of god.
- 00:09:47.006 --> 00:09:49.075
- So if it's a demon, it's what?
- 00:09:49.709 --> 00:09:52.378
- Okay. i'm just going to give you the answer.
- 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.513
- If it's a demon, it's defeated. right.
- 00:09:54.513 --> 00:09:57.817
- But now we need.
- 00:09:58.184 --> 00:09:59.018
- What if it's a weakness?
- 00:09:59.018 --> 00:10:00.720
- We need to develop it.
- 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.955
- But if it's a stronghold, we do. what?
- 00:10:02.955 --> 00:10:05.625
- Demolish it. okay.
- 00:10:05.625 --> 00:10:08.227
- I'm going to tell you why you keep being trapped in this cycle of sin.
- 00:10:08.227 --> 00:10:12.765
- It's very simple. and.
- 00:10:13.265 --> 00:10:14.200
- No, a lot of my preaching.
- 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.135
- When you're like, man, that's really good. you know what i'm really doing?
- 00:10:16.135 --> 00:10:18.170
- Telling on myself.
- 00:10:18.170 --> 00:10:19.472
- In an older version of myself.
- 00:10:19.472 --> 00:10:21.941
- So i literally get up on stage and say the things i wish somebody told me
- 00:10:21.941 --> 00:10:26.212
- In an earlier season of my life, and i say it as bluntly as i can say it.
- 00:10:26.212 --> 00:10:30.516
- That's why it's working,
- 00:10:31.017 --> 00:10:32.918
- Because i've been going through a process called sanctification for years, and
- 00:10:32.918 --> 00:10:36.555
- Because i've gone through that process, i say, what do i wish i heard?
- 00:10:36.555 --> 00:10:39.959
- And here's what i wish somebody told me.
- 00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:42.428
- The reason why you keep going back to sexual sin
- 00:10:42.428 --> 00:10:45.731
- Is because you are having an argument with god in the inside,
- 00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:50.369
- And your argument in your mind, your justification.
- 00:10:51.404 --> 00:10:54.807
- You're allowing it to win over his word.
- 00:10:55.675 --> 00:10:58.377
- That's it.
- 00:10:58.678 --> 00:11:00.179
- If you're near one of our campuses, i want to give you
- 00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:02.481
- A personal invitation to check out v1 church.
- 00:11:02.481 --> 00:11:06.519
- There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
- 00:11:07.987 --> 00:11:11.157
- If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
- 00:11:12.158 --> 00:11:14.760
- Let me just tell you, it's a powerful atmosphere
- 00:11:15.761 --> 00:11:17.630
- And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
- 00:11:17.630 --> 00:11:21.467
- So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
- 00:11:21.467 --> 00:11:29.108
- So how do you get free?
- 00:11:29.608 --> 00:11:31.277
- Disagree, but submit.
- 00:11:31.277 --> 00:11:34.513
- How do you get free?
- 00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:36.248
- Disagree.
- 00:11:36.248 --> 00:11:38.084
- God, i disagree with what you say about homosexuality, but i submit
- 00:11:38.084 --> 00:11:42.288
- God i disagree.
- 00:11:42.655 --> 00:11:44.056
- Oh, come on, i disagree with what you say about. he.
- 00:11:44.056 --> 00:11:47.293
- Come on.
- 00:11:47.293 --> 00:11:48.494
- Do you want me to give you the whole menu?
- 00:11:49.395 --> 00:11:53.132
- I disagree with what you say, but i submit.
- 00:11:54.066 --> 00:11:57.403
- See, some of y'all think that the way i live is agreement.
- 00:11:58.571 --> 00:12:00.506
- A lot of it's submission that eventually turns into agreement when i see the result
- 00:12:02.108 --> 00:12:05.177
- Of submission, when i see the freedom that results from doing it god's way.
- 00:12:05.177 --> 00:12:10.049
- I say i was your fool, but now i become wise
- 00:12:10.983 --> 00:12:13.519
- Because i submitted. it.
- 00:12:14.019 --> 00:12:19.558
- Somebody say lock in.
- 00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:24.230
- Did i do it right that time?
- 00:12:24.830 --> 00:12:26.966
- Is that it?
- 00:12:26.966 --> 00:12:27.967
- How come you do this finger?
- 00:12:27.967 --> 00:12:30.035
- Okay.
- 00:12:30.035 --> 00:12:31.837
- Delete that.
- 00:12:31.837 --> 00:12:35.307
- If it's a do.
- 00:12:35.674 --> 00:12:38.911
- You to make me act out.
- 00:12:39.411 --> 00:12:42.114
- If it's a demon, it's defeated.
- 00:12:42.114 --> 00:12:44.950
- If it's a weakness, develop it.
- 00:12:44.950 --> 00:12:47.586
- If it's a stronghold,
- 00:12:47.586 --> 00:12:49.989
- Now you get it.
- 00:12:49.989 --> 00:12:51.457
- Now you're getting it.
- 00:12:51.457 --> 00:12:53.392
- Okay, that was the intro.
- 00:12:53.392 --> 00:12:56.362
- I was not, but,
- 00:12:56.729 --> 00:12:59.131
- Mike, how do you.
- 00:12:59.131 --> 00:13:00.466
- How do i know if i'm dealing with the demon?
- 00:13:00.466 --> 00:13:02.434
- I'm just going to give you some very brief, ways to understand this.
- 00:13:02.434 --> 00:13:06.906
- How do i know if i'm dealing with a demon?
- 00:13:07.807 --> 00:13:09.475
- Number one, intrusive compulsion
- 00:13:09.475 --> 00:13:12.812
- That resists ordinary self-control.
- 00:13:13.612 --> 00:13:16.182
- Now, let me just say to my mental health professionals, because our church partners
- 00:13:17.817 --> 00:13:20.519
- With counselors and therapists all over the united states, and we honor
- 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.789
- That mental illness and a demon can coexist.
- 00:13:23.789 --> 00:13:27.493
- Not everything's a demon.
- 00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:29.295
- Not everything's mental illness.
- 00:13:29.295 --> 00:13:31.497
- But this is the roadmap to discernment.
- 00:13:31.497 --> 00:13:33.966
- I'm trying to give you intrusive compulsion that resists
- 00:13:33.966 --> 00:13:37.803
- Ordinary self-control, but it also will intensify under prayer and scripture.
- 00:13:37.803 --> 00:13:43.142
- Because the more a demon is in the environment
- 00:13:44.076 --> 00:13:46.278
- Of real prayer and real scripture, the more irritated it will be.
- 00:13:46.278 --> 00:13:50.015
- There's oftentimes people who come to me and say,
- 00:13:51.016 --> 00:13:52.585
- You know, for the first several weeks i attended your church.
- 00:13:52.585 --> 00:13:55.054
- I couldn't stand you.
- 00:13:55.054 --> 00:13:57.489
- And then i got delivered and realized it was my demons that couldn't stand you.
- 00:13:57.489 --> 00:14:01.827
- And because when they get in this environment,
- 00:14:02.761 --> 00:14:04.630
- It's irritating and agitating to the things they need to get free from.
- 00:14:04.630 --> 00:14:08.434
- Number two is deception and isolation.
- 00:14:08.434 --> 00:14:11.670
- Yeah. let me just tell you this.
- 00:14:12.304 --> 00:14:14.039
- Wherever there's isolation, they're secrecy, wherever their secrecy,
- 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.009
- Their shame, and wherever there's shame, there's a cycle.
- 00:14:17.009 --> 00:14:20.312
- So what the devil wants you to do is isolate.
- 00:14:21.247 --> 00:14:23.849
- Because wherever there's isolation, there's secrecy.
- 00:14:23.849 --> 00:14:27.686
- And wherever there's secrecy, there's shame.
- 00:14:28.587 --> 00:14:30.055
- And wherever there's shame, there's a cycle.
- 00:14:30.055 --> 00:14:32.658
- So demons, even when you look at mark chapter five, you will see that
- 00:14:32.658 --> 00:14:37.696
- These people who are demonized often are on the outside of the city.
- 00:14:39.031 --> 00:14:41.600
- They're often by caves
- 00:14:42.101 --> 00:14:43.836
- And they're they're they're excluded because demons have to keep.
- 00:14:43.836 --> 00:14:46.939
- Because i can't let you get close to anyone who could help you through christ.
- 00:14:48.507 --> 00:14:51.110
- See, this is why you got to understand the demonic some.
- 00:14:52.244 --> 00:14:54.246
- Oh, let's just have a bible study at home.
- 00:14:54.246 --> 00:14:56.148
- Is it because nobody is going to confront the demonic? they're
- 00:14:56.148 --> 00:15:00.319
- Like,
- 00:15:00.552 --> 00:15:02.087
- You know, this, this isolation, this needs to be addressed.
- 00:15:02.087 --> 00:15:04.790
- We are the body of christ.
- 00:15:05.357 --> 00:15:06.325
- And yes, we have bible studies.
- 00:15:06.325 --> 00:15:08.160
- I think we have the most, awesome bible studies at our church.
- 00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:11.830
- But it's a both.
- 00:15:11.830 --> 00:15:13.265
- And when it becomes an either or or it could be demonic
- 00:15:13.265 --> 00:15:16.602
- And isolation, drive secrecy, shame and withdraw.
- 00:15:17.603 --> 00:15:21.240
- Number three is there's a pronoun shift.
- 00:15:22.074 --> 00:15:24.376
- And oftentimes people don't even realize they're admitting to the demonic.
- 00:15:24.376 --> 00:15:28.981
- What's a pronoun shift?
- 00:15:29.481 --> 00:15:30.749
- It makes me drink too much.
- 00:15:30.749 --> 00:15:34.353
- It makes me visit inappropriate website.
- 00:15:35.187 --> 00:15:37.222
- It does this to me. it.
- 00:15:37.222 --> 00:15:39.191
- And what they don't even understand is sometimes when the pronoun shift happens,
- 00:15:39.191 --> 00:15:43.796
- It's not.
- 00:15:44.096 --> 00:15:45.397
- It's not just acknowledging in addiction,
- 00:15:45.397 --> 00:15:47.533
- It could be acknowledging the demonic and the number four.
- 00:15:47.533 --> 00:15:51.503
- There's an unusual manifestation in the anointing,
- 00:15:52.471 --> 00:15:55.507
- Particularly during worship or preaching, that expose is it.
- 00:15:56.709 --> 00:16:00.045
- In the spirit realm, everything is unveiled.
- 00:16:00.946 --> 00:16:03.415
- The demons know if you have a prayer life or not.
- 00:16:03.415 --> 00:16:05.784
- The demons know if you fast or not.
- 00:16:05.784 --> 00:16:07.720
- It's only christians who are fooled by rhetoric.
- 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.589
- But demons respond to authority.
- 00:16:11.223 --> 00:16:13.659
- They respond to relationship.
- 00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:15.661
- They know who you're connected to.
- 00:16:15.661 --> 00:16:17.830
- I know i don't try to create demonic manifest nations,
- 00:16:17.830 --> 00:16:21.100
- But it's the unintended consequence of a reputation.
- 00:16:22.167 --> 00:16:24.570
- Homie, i don't play that.
- 00:16:25.137 --> 00:16:27.406
- So my encouragement to you
- 00:16:27.406 --> 00:16:29.408
- Is if you've been bullied by the devil, fight back.
- 00:16:29.408 --> 00:16:32.945
- If you've been pushed. pushback.
- 00:16:33.579 --> 00:16:36.115
- Come on, i'm talking to somebody.
- 00:16:36.115 --> 00:16:37.649
- It's time to lock in.
- 00:16:37.649 --> 00:16:39.318
- And i'm not your ragdoll.
- 00:16:39.318 --> 00:16:41.420
- Depression. discouragement. anxiety.
- 00:16:41.420 --> 00:16:44.957
- Come on.
- 00:16:45.224 --> 00:16:46.992
- Did you ever notice that the bible doesn't call it the feeling of fear?
- 00:16:46.992 --> 00:16:49.561
- It says the spirit of fear.
- 00:16:50.162 --> 00:16:51.597
- Have you ever noticed in isaiah
- 00:16:51.597 --> 00:16:53.432
- Chapter 61, it doesn't say the feeling of heaviness.
- 00:16:53.432 --> 00:16:57.469
- It says the spirit of heaviness.
- 00:16:58.103 --> 00:17:00.239
- So why don't you stop fighting feelings and start fighting spirit?
- 00:17:00.239 --> 00:17:05.344
- Come on somebody. it's time to lock in.
- 00:17:06.211 --> 00:17:09.982
- Come on.
- 00:17:10.249 --> 00:17:11.216
- If it's a demon,
- 00:17:11.216 --> 00:17:13.485
- It's defeated.
- 00:17:13.485 --> 00:17:17.122
- God! not my will, but thy will be done.
- 00:17:17.990 --> 00:17:22.327
- The greatest deception of this age is manifesting.
- 00:17:23.362 --> 00:17:27.699
- You know why?
- 00:17:28.067 --> 00:17:29.168
- Because the worst thing
- 00:17:29.168 --> 00:17:30.702
- That could ever happen to you is you get what you think you want.
- 00:17:30.702 --> 00:17:33.739
- The delusion is that you know what you want.
- 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.110
- Oh, no. no, no.
- 00:17:38.477 --> 00:17:40.245
- God, in his wisdom, will give you what you need, not what you want.
- 00:17:40.245 --> 00:17:43.549
- And that's why we have to die to ourselves.
- 00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:46.385
- And if it's a stronghold, what do we do?
- 00:17:46.385 --> 00:17:48.120
- Church.
- 00:17:48.120 --> 00:17:49.655
- Demolish it.
- 00:17:49.655 --> 00:17:50.722
- Oh, now you sound like an army.
- 00:17:50.722 --> 00:17:53.025
- Come on.
- 00:17:53.025 --> 00:17:54.293
- We're getting ready to come to a close.
- 00:17:54.293 --> 00:17:55.694
- First corinthians chapter ten, verse 13 says, no
- 00:17:55.694 --> 00:17:59.164
- Temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
- 00:17:59.164 --> 00:18:04.002
- Can i give you the hood? translation?
- 00:18:04.803 --> 00:18:06.472
- You've never
- 00:18:06.805 --> 00:18:08.540
- Been tempted in a way that didn't already work on your daddy
- 00:18:08.540 --> 00:18:11.610
- And your grandfather and your great grandfather.
- 00:18:12.611 --> 00:18:14.713
- It's okay.
- 00:18:15.013 --> 00:18:16.548
- You've never been tempted in a way that your grandmother
- 00:18:16.548 --> 00:18:19.318
- And great grandmother and great great grandmother didn't weren't subjected to.
- 00:18:19.318 --> 00:18:23.489
- This is to say, it's not common to man, but god is faithful,
- 00:18:23.489 --> 00:18:27.092
- And he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability.
- 00:18:27.092 --> 00:18:30.462
- But with the temptation, he will also provide
- 00:18:31.363 --> 00:18:33.432
- The way of escape that you may be able to endure it.
- 00:18:33.432 --> 00:18:37.236
- The way of escape.
- 00:18:37.669 --> 00:18:39.705
- See, every temptation that you faced is a temptation
- 00:18:39.705 --> 00:18:44.243
- That your father and your grandfather and your great grandfather has faced.
- 00:18:44.243 --> 00:18:48.981
- Your mother, your grandmother, your great grandma.
- 00:18:50.015 --> 00:18:51.416
- You have to be the first one that breaks your flesh.
- 00:18:51.416 --> 00:18:55.187
- You have to be the first one that looks that temptation in the eyes
- 00:18:56.522 --> 00:18:58.690
- And says, it worked on everybody until it got to me.
- 00:18:58.690 --> 00:19:02.461
- But it's not working anymore.
- 00:19:03.095 --> 00:19:04.596
- Oh, yeah, i want to do it just like they wanted to do it.
- 00:19:04.596 --> 00:19:08.100
- But the difference is this body is not mine.
- 00:19:09.034 --> 00:19:11.336
- It does not belong to me anymore.
- 00:19:12.070 --> 00:19:14.039
- I gave it to him, and i don't even have permission to use this body to do that.
- 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.944
- See, it's the temple of the holy ghost
- 00:19:19.745 --> 00:19:23.182
- And the are the.
- 00:19:23.549 --> 00:19:25.317
- It's not
- 00:19:25.317 --> 00:19:27.286
- The true test of whether you believe your body is the temple of the holy ghost.
- 00:19:27.286 --> 00:19:30.656
- Is what you do with your body.
- 00:19:30.656 --> 00:19:35.294
- Hey, mike.
- 00:19:35.594 --> 00:19:37.563
- Signa, here in the studio, we're getting ready to jump back into the sermon.
- 00:19:37.563 --> 00:19:40.566
- But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
- 00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:43.468
- That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
- 00:19:43.468 --> 00:19:47.472
- And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
- 00:19:48.874 --> 00:19:52.578
- And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
- 00:19:53.679 --> 00:19:55.647
- I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
- 00:19:55.647 --> 00:20:00.085
- Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
- 00:20:00.085 --> 00:20:03.855
- In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
- 00:20:03.855 --> 00:20:08.360
- It's called the breakers of mobile app.
- 00:20:09.161 --> 00:20:11.096
- It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
- 00:20:11.096 --> 00:20:15.234
- I will see you there.
- 00:20:15.734 --> 00:20:19.338
- This is what i want you to do this week.
- 00:20:20.205 --> 00:20:22.140
- Five minutes in the word.
- 00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:23.909
- Five minutes in prayer.
- 00:20:23.909 --> 00:20:25.410
- Five minutes in silence. every day.
- 00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:27.980
- Will you do it?
- 00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:29.481
- I'm challenging you.
- 00:20:29.481 --> 00:20:30.449
- Will you do it?
- 00:20:30.449 --> 00:20:31.717
- Five. five. five. five minutes in prayer.
- 00:20:31.717 --> 00:20:33.652
- Five minutes in the word and five minutes in silence.
- 00:20:33.652 --> 00:20:37.522
- And you might be thinking i could do more than that.
- 00:20:38.557 --> 00:20:39.958
- Well, start there with five minutes in silence.
- 00:20:39.958 --> 00:20:43.595
- Because prayer is not just talking, it's listening.
- 00:20:43.595 --> 00:20:46.865
- Why five minutes in the word?
- 00:20:47.499 --> 00:20:49.534
- Because if you want a prophecy, you got 66 books full of prophecy in the bible.
- 00:20:49.534 --> 00:20:53.105
- God will speak to you.
- 00:20:53.605 --> 00:20:54.873
- Five. five. five but he wants to anchor you.
- 00:20:54.873 --> 00:20:57.876
- He wants to anchor you in this season of your life.
- 00:20:58.910 --> 00:21:00.612
- You know, i was thinking about this last story
- 00:21:00.612 --> 00:21:02.914
- Because how many of you struggle with being consistent?
- 00:21:02.914 --> 00:21:05.717
- All of us. right? to some degree.
- 00:21:05.717 --> 00:21:08.120
- And when you think about deliverance, when you think about discipline,
- 00:21:08.120 --> 00:21:11.590
- When you think about devotion,
- 00:21:11.590 --> 00:21:13.392
- What the devil is factoring in is your inconsistency.
- 00:21:13.392 --> 00:21:17.763
- So what he's saying is, oh yeah, they're good.
- 00:21:18.664 --> 00:21:19.898
- They're hype. mike got them hyped up.
- 00:21:19.898 --> 00:21:22.267
- They're going to come right back to the vomit.
- 00:21:22.267 --> 00:21:24.036
- They'll be back in the field.
- 00:21:24.036 --> 00:21:26.004
- And sometimes the devil just sit over and he'll be like, i'll wait over here.
- 00:21:26.004 --> 00:21:28.340
- You'll be back.
- 00:21:28.340 --> 00:21:29.941
- This should anger you, by the way, i am.
- 00:21:30.776 --> 00:21:33.045
- I'm trying to anger you.
- 00:21:33.045 --> 00:21:35.180
- The devil is like, yeah, go ahead.
- 00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:36.448
- Go to go to your breakers conference.
- 00:21:36.448 --> 00:21:38.350
- You'll be back.
- 00:21:38.350 --> 00:21:40.385
- You go to dc, you'll be back.
- 00:21:40.385 --> 00:21:42.721
- Go to church.
- 00:21:42.721 --> 00:21:45.223
- Come on, little doggy. come over here.
- 00:21:45.223 --> 00:21:47.926
- You'll be back.
- 00:21:47.926 --> 00:21:49.961
- See? and what happens is
- 00:21:49.961 --> 00:21:52.831
- The bible says submit to god.
- 00:21:52.831 --> 00:21:56.168
- Resist the devil, and he will flee.
- 00:21:56.968 --> 00:21:59.705
- See, there's something about the submission.
- 00:22:00.605 --> 00:22:02.341
- Because everybody wants a savior.
- 00:22:02.341 --> 00:22:04.109
- Nobody wants a lord. the savior rescues you.
- 00:22:04.109 --> 00:22:07.746
- He makes you a son.
- 00:22:08.213 --> 00:22:09.781
- But the lord, which is jesus, will also make you a slave.
- 00:22:09.781 --> 00:22:13.685
- And i'm convinced that our generation got the revelation of son, but not slave.
- 00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:18.557
- What do i mean by that?
- 00:22:19.057 --> 00:22:20.459
- Pastor mike, you can't say that word. no, no, i'm.
- 00:22:20.459 --> 00:22:22.627
- This is a biblical word.
- 00:22:22.627 --> 00:22:24.162
- Even the apostles referred to them sometime themselves
- 00:22:24.162 --> 00:22:27.032
- As slaves to the gospel.
- 00:22:27.032 --> 00:22:29.434
- And that word is healthy for us
- 00:22:29.434 --> 00:22:31.737
- Because it gives us permission to submit to say, you know what?
- 00:22:31.737 --> 00:22:35.607
- I'm a son.
- 00:22:35.607 --> 00:22:36.975
- And that sonship gives me choice in certain areas,
- 00:22:36.975 --> 00:22:40.879
- But i'm also a slave to the gospel, and that that dynamic eliminates choice.
- 00:22:42.381 --> 00:22:46.118
- And it helps to put me on this narrow road.
- 00:22:47.018 --> 00:22:49.254
- Are y'all following me?
- 00:22:49.254 --> 00:22:51.022
- And so everybody wants a savior, not a nobody.
- 00:22:51.022 --> 00:22:54.926
- Hardly few people want a lord.
- 00:22:55.560 --> 00:22:56.995
- But the bible says accept him as lord and savior,
- 00:22:56.995 --> 00:22:59.898
- Which means if you receive both, you'll end up leaving this place a son
- 00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:03.301
- And a slave, a daughter and a slave.
- 00:23:03.301 --> 00:23:05.404
- But can i just tell you there's a wholeness in that?
- 00:23:05.404 --> 00:23:08.640
- There's a wholeness.
- 00:23:09.107 --> 00:23:10.876
- Because listen, when you're a son, he goes, where do you want to go?
- 00:23:10.876 --> 00:23:13.945
- And sometimes he'll ask you when you're a slave.
- 00:23:14.946 --> 00:23:17.916
- Sometimes he'll say, mike, go to new york.
- 00:23:18.817 --> 00:23:20.385
- Serve those people with your life.
- 00:23:20.385 --> 00:23:22.821
- I don't have a choice, julie.
- 00:23:22.821 --> 00:23:24.523
- We have to sell the house.
- 00:23:24.523 --> 00:23:25.891
- I'm a slave.
- 00:23:25.891 --> 00:23:27.325
- He told me to do it. i have to obey.
- 00:23:27.325 --> 00:23:29.828
- But there's other times where he gives me choice.
- 00:23:29.828 --> 00:23:32.397
- But this is going to be a prophetic.
- 00:23:32.397 --> 00:23:34.633
- Do you feel the prophecy just flowing through this for somebody right now?
- 00:23:34.633 --> 00:23:38.403
- But this is how i want to end, and i want everybody to stand to your feet
- 00:23:39.905 --> 00:23:42.140
- For this moment.
- 00:23:42.507 --> 00:23:44.109
- Because i was thinking about consistency.
- 00:23:44.109 --> 00:23:47.679
- Everybody say consistency is everything.
- 00:23:47.679 --> 00:23:51.016
- And i was trying to communicate like, how do i take a group of people
- 00:23:52.350 --> 00:23:54.986
- Who are locking in?
- 00:23:54.986 --> 00:23:56.621
- How do i take them through deliverance,
- 00:23:56.621 --> 00:23:59.524
- Through discipline, through devotion, without consistency?
- 00:23:59.524 --> 00:24:03.628
- There's things in our lives we just feel like i can't be consistent.
- 00:24:04.963 --> 00:24:07.365
- I can't be disciplined.
- 00:24:07.866 --> 00:24:08.800
- But i just want to tell you
- 00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:10.335
- The revelation i, god, is lift your hands towards heaven.
- 00:24:10.335 --> 00:24:14.639
- Because when moses lifted his hands towards heaven,
- 00:24:15.707 --> 00:24:17.843
- What begin to happen is when his hands were up.
- 00:24:18.777 --> 00:24:21.213
- Doubt was down and faith was up.
- 00:24:21.847 --> 00:24:24.182
- But whenever his hands went low, down, went up, and faith went down.
- 00:24:24.182 --> 00:24:28.887
- As a matter of fact, when you look at the hebrew word study
- 00:24:30.088 --> 00:24:32.090
- And you see the numerical value for amalek, it's the same as the word doubt.
- 00:24:33.592 --> 00:24:37.095
- And it was like god was saying, as long as you keep your hands up in praise,
- 00:24:38.597 --> 00:24:41.500
- As long as you keep
- 00:24:41.967 --> 00:24:43.602
- Your hands up in worship, you will become consistent in victory.
- 00:24:43.602 --> 00:24:47.205
- But here's what this means with your hands up.
- 00:24:48.173 --> 00:24:49.508
- It means that the devil's already defeated.
- 00:24:49.508 --> 00:24:52.444
- I don't.
- 00:24:52.444 --> 00:24:53.345
- This is how i wage my war.
- 00:24:53.345 --> 00:24:54.880
- Come on. somebody is.
- 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.414
- He is going to fight my battles
- 00:24:56.414 --> 00:24:58.583
- On my behalf while i'm worshiping, while i'm praising.
- 00:24:58.583 --> 00:25:02.554
- And so right now, if you want to lock in, just like moses,
- 00:25:03.722 --> 00:25:06.324
- He locked his hands towards heaven.
- 00:25:07.125 --> 00:25:08.627
- And he said, i'm locking my hands in
- 00:25:08.627 --> 00:25:12.130
- And i'm not letting my hands down in this season.
- 00:25:13.131 --> 00:25:16.167
- So with every hand lifted across this place,
- 00:25:17.102 --> 00:25:18.870
- What i want to do is a declaration of faith.
- 00:25:18.870 --> 00:25:22.173
- Because it is time to step in to what god has for us.
- 00:25:23.208 --> 00:25:25.477
- Everyone say this with me.
- 00:25:25.477 --> 00:25:26.878
- Heavenly father, i have decided
- 00:25:26.878 --> 00:25:30.348
- To worship you in every situation,
- 00:25:31.116 --> 00:25:34.452
- To praise you in every situation.
- 00:25:35.120 --> 00:25:39.157
- I have decided
- 00:25:39.524 --> 00:25:41.893
- I will be disciplined in my weaknesses.
- 00:25:41.893 --> 00:25:46.097
- I will be devoted and destroy strongholds,
- 00:25:46.998 --> 00:25:52.070
- And i will speak
- 00:25:52.437 --> 00:25:54.539
- To every demon and confront and not back down.
- 00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:59.844
- Heavenly father, with my hands lifted,
- 00:26:00.679 --> 00:26:04.883
- I will be consistent.
- 00:26:05.383 --> 00:26:08.119
- No temptation will overtake me.
- 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.057
- You've given a way of escape.
- 00:26:12.691 --> 00:26:15.560
- I'm locked in god.
- 00:26:15.994 --> 00:26:18.330
- In jesus name.
- 00:26:18.330 --> 00:26:20.365
- Someone shout amen.
- 00:26:20.365 --> 00:26:23.068
- Come on, somebody let's celebrate.
- 00:26:23.068 --> 00:26:25.937
- Come on!
- 00:26:25.937 --> 00:26:30.208
- Y'all.
- 00:26:30.442 --> 00:26:32.811
- Come on!
- 00:26:32.811 --> 00:26:34.079
- How many of you feel the peace of god right now?
- 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.849
- I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
- 00:26:38.984 --> 00:26:42.554
- Pray about what god would have you do.
- 00:26:43.388 --> 00:26:45.023
- We don't tell people what to give.
- 00:26:45.023 --> 00:26:46.925
- What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
- 00:26:46.925 --> 00:26:51.363
- That we do around the united states and around the world,
- 00:26:51.363 --> 00:26:54.666
- Whether it's distributing the gospel
- 00:26:55.433 --> 00:26:57.002
- In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
- 00:26:57.002 --> 00:27:01.006
- Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states.
- 00:27:02.507 --> 00:27:05.844
- Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
- 00:27:06.978 --> 00:27:06.978
