| Mike Signorelli - Strike the Ground | October 28, 2025
  • How many people claim
  • 00:00:01.255 --> 00:00:02.590
  • To get saved, but their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:02.590 --> 00:00:06.427
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:07.028 --> 00:00:08.662
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.662 --> 00:00:12.199
  • Something's gotta change because you say.
  • 00:00:13.067 --> 00:00:14.635
  • If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:14.635 --> 00:00:17.138
  • But it's about this density.
  • 00:00:17.138 --> 00:00:18.906
  • So let me destroy.
  • 00:00:18.906 --> 00:00:20.574
  • Oh come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:20.574 --> 00:00:29.183
  • Oh! well, welcome to v1 church.
  • 00:00:29.817 --> 00:00:35.022
  • If you have your bibles, can you open up to acts chapter 19?
  • 00:00:36.190 --> 00:00:38.993
  • We're going to start in acts chapter 19.
  • 00:00:39.860 --> 00:00:41.228
  • And as i've been seeking the lord for this sermon,
  • 00:00:41.228 --> 00:00:44.098
  • I felt very convicted to preach this word in this time.
  • 00:00:44.098 --> 00:00:48.602
  • I don't believe in accidents.
  • 00:00:48.602 --> 00:00:50.171
  • If you're watching this right now, i believe that god divinely
  • 00:00:50.171 --> 00:00:52.973
  • Had you to stop on this moment to hear this message.
  • 00:00:52.973 --> 00:00:56.343
  • And this message is entitled strike the ground.
  • 00:00:57.311 --> 00:00:59.780
  • Come on. v1 manhattan.
  • 00:01:00.281 --> 00:01:01.282
  • Can you say strike the ground?
  • 00:01:01.282 --> 00:01:04.151
  • Come on.
  • 00:01:04.418 --> 00:01:06.187
  • We're here in new york city, and i believe that this message is for you.
  • 00:01:06.187 --> 00:01:10.024
  • Acts chapter 19 i'm going to start with verse one.
  • 00:01:11.058 --> 00:01:13.627
  • And it happened that while apollos was at corinth,
  • 00:01:14.662 --> 00:01:16.397
  • Paul passed through the inland country and came to ephesus.
  • 00:01:16.397 --> 00:01:20.334
  • There he found some disciples.
  • 00:01:20.968 --> 00:01:22.837
  • And he said to them, did you receive the holy spirit when you believed?
  • 00:01:22.837 --> 00:01:27.041
  • And they said, no, we have not even heard that there is a holy spirit.
  • 00:01:28.442 --> 00:01:30.778
  • And then he said, until what then were you baptized?
  • 00:01:31.846 --> 00:01:34.682
  • And they said, we were baptized into john's baptism.
  • 00:01:35.716 --> 00:01:38.319
  • Verse four says, and paul said, john baptized with the baptism of repentance,
  • 00:01:39.787 --> 00:01:43.457
  • Telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is jesus.
  • 00:01:45.092 --> 00:01:48.796
  • Verse five says, on hearing this they were baptized in the name of the lord jesus.
  • 00:01:50.431 --> 00:01:54.735
  • But verse six, this is very important.
  • 00:01:55.569 --> 00:01:57.471
  • And when paul had laid his hands on him, the holy spirit came on them,
  • 00:01:57.471 --> 00:02:02.143
  • And they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.
  • 00:02:03.144 --> 00:02:06.514
  • And there were 12 men and all, everybody say, strike the ground.
  • 00:02:07.815 --> 00:02:11.785
  • So right now
  • 00:02:12.119 --> 00:02:13.521
  • Our nation is in a prophetic ephesus.
  • 00:02:13.521 --> 00:02:17.224
  • Ephesus is when you have a measure of god,
  • 00:02:18.125 --> 00:02:21.128
  • But you have not yet received all that he has promised you.
  • 00:02:22.329 --> 00:02:25.332
  • Oh my, talking to somebody,
  • 00:02:25.933 --> 00:02:28.035
  • Ephesus, is when you've gone halfway but haven't gone all the way.
  • 00:02:28.035 --> 00:02:33.007
  • Oh, i'm talking to somebody.
  • 00:02:33.607 --> 00:02:35.576
  • Oh, i love my presbyterian friends and my methodist friends and my baptist friends.
  • 00:02:35.576 --> 00:02:39.480
  • But i'm telling you, god has brought you to this message because there is more.
  • 00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:44.285
  • Somebody say, strike the ground.
  • 00:02:44.285 --> 00:02:47.888
  • Come on.
  • 00:02:48.155 --> 00:02:49.256
  • We are guilty of stopping too soon.
  • 00:02:49.256 --> 00:02:54.995
  • Like the moment before our greatest breakthrough,
  • 00:02:55.996 --> 00:02:58.799
  • The moment before things click.
  • 00:02:58.799 --> 00:03:00.801
  • And that's usually when we give up.
  • 00:03:00.801 --> 00:03:03.470
  • And so when i look at ephesus, i'm going to let's look at the text.
  • 00:03:03.470 --> 00:03:07.041
  • It says this.
  • 00:03:07.041 --> 00:03:09.009
  • And paul said, well, john baptized with the baptism, baptism of repentance,
  • 00:03:09.009 --> 00:03:12.479
  • Telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him.
  • 00:03:13.847 --> 00:03:15.649
  • But but he said, okay, but actually there's more, there's more.
  • 00:03:16.951 --> 00:03:18.953
  • The holy spirit came upon them.
  • 00:03:18.953 --> 00:03:20.821
  • They begin to speak in tongues and prophesy.
  • 00:03:20.821 --> 00:03:23.958
  • So let me just help you today.
  • 00:03:24.592 --> 00:03:27.895
  • There is more for you.
  • 00:03:28.395 --> 00:03:30.064
  • God has more for you.
  • 00:03:30.064 --> 00:03:31.999
  • The worst thing that you can ever experience
  • 00:03:31.999 --> 00:03:34.868
  • In life is not being a sinner.
  • 00:03:34.868 --> 00:03:38.105
  • It's being a mediocre christian.
  • 00:03:38.739 --> 00:03:41.609
  • Because at least when you were in sin and you didn't know christ,
  • 00:03:42.943 --> 00:03:45.512
  • There was some element of satisfaction, even if it was leading to hell.
  • 00:03:45.512 --> 00:03:49.617
  • But to be a mediocre christian who hears the word but doesn't do it,
  • 00:03:50.951 --> 00:03:53.787
  • To be a christian who surrenders to demons of depression
  • 00:03:54.888 --> 00:03:57.258
  • That have already been crushed under the heel of our savior.
  • 00:03:58.459 --> 00:04:00.127
  • That is one of the worst conditions to be in.
  • 00:04:00.127 --> 00:04:03.464
  • I mean, even the bible itself declares be hot or be cold.
  • 00:04:04.632 --> 00:04:09.470
  • It literally gives you an option that says be anything but in the middle,
  • 00:04:10.871 --> 00:04:12.940
  • Be anything but lukewarm because god will spew you out of his mouth.
  • 00:04:14.308 --> 00:04:17.778
  • Why do you need to hear that message?
  • 00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:20.180
  • Because here's the thing if you're cold,
  • 00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:24.151
  • At least you know you're cold and you're owning it.
  • 00:04:25.219 --> 00:04:26.820
  • I respect an honest sinner more than a lying
  • 00:04:26.820 --> 00:04:29.790
  • Christian.
  • 00:04:29.790 --> 00:04:34.995
  • Y'all hear me?
  • 00:04:35.362 --> 00:04:36.964
  • You hear me like i respect an honest sinner more than a lie.
  • 00:04:36.964 --> 00:04:40.367
  • And christian,
  • 00:04:40.367 --> 00:04:42.536
  • The reason why i went through atheism, the reason why i read every holy book,
  • 00:04:42.536 --> 00:04:46.840
  • Is because i said, man, if i'm going to build my life on this,
  • 00:04:48.008 --> 00:04:49.576
  • I'm going to calculate the cost before i do it like i listen.
  • 00:04:49.576 --> 00:04:53.380
  • I was born ignorant, but i ain't dying ignorant.
  • 00:04:53.380 --> 00:04:56.717
  • And i think what paul, he shows up and he's like, i'm
  • 00:04:57.818 --> 00:04:59.720
  • Not trying to diminish your experience thus far,
  • 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.057
  • But i sense some ignorance, which means a lack of knowledge.
  • 00:05:04.224 --> 00:05:06.627
  • And i'm going to propose something to you.
  • 00:05:06.627 --> 00:05:08.429
  • Will you receive it? and they're like, yes, we want more.
  • 00:05:08.429 --> 00:05:11.198
  • And they begin to speak in tongues and prophesy.
  • 00:05:11.198 --> 00:05:14.835
  • There is more.
  • 00:05:15.202 --> 00:05:16.837
  • The thing i love about this christian faith
  • 00:05:16.837 --> 00:05:19.406
  • Is there's so many realms and dimensions of revelation
  • 00:05:19.406 --> 00:05:24.078
  • That it's just you go from glory to glory
  • 00:05:24.978 --> 00:05:27.581
  • To glory, and right when you think you've hit the pinnacle,
  • 00:05:28.749 --> 00:05:30.617
  • The very apex of god's presence, he drowns you in a tsunami of his glory.
  • 00:05:30.617 --> 00:05:35.456
  • Come on to somebody.
  • 00:05:35.923 --> 00:05:37.124
  • Know what i'm talking about, right?
  • 00:05:37.124 --> 00:05:38.792
  • When you think you've experienced his goodness in his love,
  • 00:05:38.792 --> 00:05:41.862
  • Right when you've been suffocated by his mercy
  • 00:05:42.763 --> 00:05:45.099
  • And you don't think you can any get any better, he's like,
  • 00:05:46.266 --> 00:05:48.502
  • There's more.
  • 00:05:48.869 --> 00:05:50.137
  • Does somebody know what i'm talking about
  • 00:05:50.137 --> 00:05:52.439
  • Is somebody have a hunger and a desperation for more.
  • 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.843
  • I might be in ephesus
  • 00:05:56.343 --> 00:05:57.945
  • And i've only experience of baptism of john, but i want more,
  • 00:05:57.945 --> 00:06:02.516
  • And when when paul shows up and acts chapter 19.
  • 00:06:03.484 --> 00:06:06.920
  • This this is the beautiful, beautiful part about it.
  • 00:06:07.988 --> 00:06:09.757
  • They were receptive.
  • 00:06:09.757 --> 00:06:12.626
  • Somebody say strike the ground.
  • 00:06:11.492 --> 00:06:15.362
  • Now later on, if you go to the book of ephesians chapter six
  • 00:06:15.362 --> 00:06:19.566
  • And i'm going to show you something.
  • 00:06:20.334 --> 00:06:21.869
  • And pastors and preachers don't often connect these, but
  • 00:06:21.869 --> 00:06:25.139
  • This is the same audience across two different books of your bible.
  • 00:06:26.507 --> 00:06:28.409
  • So first we we see him showing up
  • 00:06:29.143 --> 00:06:31.145
  • Initially in ephesus, but then now you have the book of ephesians.
  • 00:06:31.145 --> 00:06:35.382
  • And paul is later warning them, so something happened
  • 00:06:36.450 --> 00:06:41.155
  • That paul's like, wait a second, did i not lay hands on you?
  • 00:06:42.322 --> 00:06:45.392
  • And you received the holy spirit. you've drifted.
  • 00:06:45.392 --> 00:06:48.328
  • You've drifted.
  • 00:06:48.328 --> 00:06:49.930
  • Look, let me read it to you.
  • 00:06:50.531 --> 00:06:51.932
  • You all know this verse, but i'm putting in context.
  • 00:06:51.932 --> 00:06:54.268
  • We wrestle not against flesh and blood.
  • 00:06:54.268 --> 00:06:58.005
  • Have you ever heard a parent be like,
  • 00:06:58.806 --> 00:07:01.542
  • We don't eat candy off the floor,
  • 00:07:01.542 --> 00:07:04.812
  • We don't hit our brother.
  • 00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:07.748
  • Anybody heard a parent talk like that?
  • 00:07:07.748 --> 00:07:10.150
  • So imagine paul, as an apostolic father,
  • 00:07:10.150 --> 00:07:14.188
  • Says, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood.
  • 00:07:15.122 --> 00:07:17.491
  • What do you think they were doing?
  • 00:07:18.258 --> 00:07:21.862
  • Blm versus the conservatives.
  • 00:07:22.496 --> 00:07:26.934
  • Oh yeah, i'm going there.
  • 00:07:27.501 --> 00:07:28.602
  • Pro-palestinian versus pro israel.
  • 00:07:28.602 --> 00:07:31.972
  • Oh yeah.
  • 00:07:32.239 --> 00:07:33.707
  • It was the same thing.
  • 00:07:32.873 --> 00:07:36.743
  • And paul has to show up.
  • 00:07:35.175 --> 00:07:38.378
  • And sometimes leaders
  • 00:07:38.378 --> 00:07:40.147
  • Have to show up and say, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood,
  • 00:07:40.147 --> 00:07:44.318
  • But against principalities and powers and rulers and high places.
  • 00:07:45.619 --> 00:07:48.989
  • Oh, yeah.
  • 00:07:49.289 --> 00:07:50.591
  • You want to be about the father's business.
  • 00:07:50.591 --> 00:07:51.859
  • Help me save souls. don't condemn them.
  • 00:07:51.859 --> 00:07:54.061
  • Even jesus said, i didn't come into this world to condemn it.
  • 00:07:54.061 --> 00:07:57.397
  • I came to save it. so are you.
  • 00:07:58.031 --> 00:07:59.333
  • Who are you to condemn in the comment section?
  • 00:07:59.333 --> 00:08:01.435
  • If he wouldn't condemn on the cross,
  • 00:08:01.435 --> 00:08:09.009
  • The gen alpha's like that was good,
  • 00:08:09.810 --> 00:08:13.680
  • You hear me?
  • 00:08:14.014 --> 00:08:15.415
  • Like, who are we to condemn in the comment section?
  • 00:08:15.415 --> 00:08:17.651
  • He wouldn't even condemn you on the cross.
  • 00:08:17.651 --> 00:08:20.487
  • He said, father, forgive them.
  • 00:08:20.487 --> 00:08:22.189
  • They know not what they do.
  • 00:08:22.189 --> 00:08:24.458
  • How could you receive forgiveness and yet not dispense it to those in need?
  • 00:08:24.458 --> 00:08:28.328
  • We wrestle not against flesh and blood.
  • 00:08:28.328 --> 00:08:31.064
  • I mean, didn't we learn in the last five years that we are are one?
  • 00:08:31.064 --> 00:08:35.335
  • Jesus is praying that we would be united.
  • 00:08:35.335 --> 00:08:38.639
  • So i find it interesting that he has to later
  • 00:08:39.540 --> 00:08:41.608
  • Come and tell them, like, hey, this is not a physical battle.
  • 00:08:41.608 --> 00:08:46.313
  • See, what happened was in ephesus
  • 00:08:47.047 --> 00:08:49.249
  • And this is what i want you to understand.
  • 00:08:49.249 --> 00:08:51.852
  • They were stalled.
  • 00:08:51.852 --> 00:08:55.489
  • What does it mean to be stalled?
  • 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.391
  • Have you ever felt stagnant in your faith?
  • 00:08:57.391 --> 00:09:00.093
  • I mean, you've ever.
  • 00:09:00.561 --> 00:09:02.529
  • You just kind of feel like, man, i, i don't know if i want to read the bible.
  • 00:09:02.529 --> 00:09:04.731
  • I don't know if i want to pray.
  • 00:09:04.731 --> 00:09:06.466
  • I don't know if i, i want to i don't know if i want to go to church.
  • 00:09:06.466 --> 00:09:08.936
  • I know that i'm supposed to serve at church,
  • 00:09:08.936 --> 00:09:11.138
  • But if i want to attend church, man, i love pastor mike.
  • 00:09:11.138 --> 00:09:15.509
  • I'm glad he's back, but i just don't feel like hearing a sermon right now.
  • 00:09:15.509 --> 00:09:18.979
  • Anybody know what i'm talking about?
  • 00:09:19.746 --> 00:09:21.381
  • Okay, don't agree with me too emphatically.
  • 00:09:21.381 --> 00:09:24.184
  • Yeah.
  • 00:09:24.184 --> 00:09:27.454
  • But here's the thing.
  • 00:09:27.955 --> 00:09:29.323
  • If commitment was connected to a feeling,
  • 00:09:29.323 --> 00:09:32.993
  • The covenant of marriage would never exist.
  • 00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:37.097
  • See, god didn't ask you to commit.
  • 00:09:37.864 --> 00:09:39.266
  • He asked you to covenant and see the thing about.
  • 00:09:39.266 --> 00:09:42.636
  • Let me just tell you.
  • 00:09:43.136 --> 00:09:45.005
  • I mean, my daughter's here, so i'm not going to look at her when i say this.
  • 00:09:45.005 --> 00:09:46.306
  • There's times i don't feel like being her dad.
  • 00:09:46.306 --> 00:09:48.342
  • I mean, being a dad is a hard thing, but i made a covenant.
  • 00:09:48.342 --> 00:09:52.145
  • I am the father and the leader of this home.
  • 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.514
  • I covenanted to my wife, julie, i'm just telling you,
  • 00:09:54.514 --> 00:09:56.683
  • I know y'all think julie's amazing, but she has some bad days.
  • 00:09:56.683 --> 00:10:00.954
  • I know you don't believe that.
  • 00:10:01.588 --> 00:10:04.191
  • And sometimes it's like between the dog, my daughters, and julie.
  • 00:10:04.191 --> 00:10:08.295
  • I'm just like, lord jesus, take the wheel.
  • 00:10:08.295 --> 00:10:13.333
  • But the thing is, i made a decision.
  • 00:10:14.101 --> 00:10:17.404
  • And covenant is a decision that is not connected to feelings.
  • 00:10:18.605 --> 00:10:21.308
  • Actually, it's a choice that eventually could produce a feeling,
  • 00:10:22.609 --> 00:10:25.145
  • But it should never be a feeling that produces a choice.
  • 00:10:25.145 --> 00:10:28.782
  • That's why i came out here and preached the first message on salvation.
  • 00:10:30.217 --> 00:10:33.687
  • It was like, i'm trying to suck the feelings
  • 00:10:33.687 --> 00:10:35.756
  • Out of the room so you can make a covenant to god, not a commitment
  • 00:10:35.756 --> 00:10:38.959
  • To get in the water.
  • 00:10:38.959 --> 00:10:42.295
  • There's a difference between a bath and a baptism,
  • 00:10:43.330 --> 00:10:45.232
  • And the difference is commitment versus covenant.
  • 00:10:45.232 --> 00:10:48.502
  • The covenant is i don't feel like giving my money.
  • 00:10:49.536 --> 00:10:53.306
  • I don't feel like investing into the kingdom.
  • 00:10:53.306 --> 00:10:55.709
  • But i didn't make a decision based on feelings.
  • 00:10:55.709 --> 00:10:58.278
  • I covenanted.
  • 00:10:58.278 --> 00:11:00.380
  • This is why, even in romans chapter ten, verse nine, it talks about if you believe
  • 00:11:00.380 --> 00:11:05.052
  • In your heart that that he is messiah and you receive him as lord and savior,
  • 00:11:06.586 --> 00:11:10.223
  • I mean, you ask anybody on their deathbed, do you want to be saved?
  • 00:11:11.591 --> 00:11:13.593
  • They're going to say, yes,
  • 00:11:13.593 --> 00:11:15.128
  • But you ask anybody fully alive, do you want to surrender?
  • 00:11:15.128 --> 00:11:18.165
  • And you're going to get a question mark?
  • 00:11:18.165 --> 00:11:20.600
  • Because the thing is,
  • 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.402
  • We all want to be saved, but very few of us want to surrender.
  • 00:11:22.402 --> 00:11:25.072
  • So what we need is we need to go back to that place where we say,
  • 00:11:26.273 --> 00:11:29.176
  • I want you to be my lord and my savior.
  • 00:11:30.043 --> 00:11:32.479
  • And what i see the apostle paul doing with the church in ephesus
  • 00:11:33.714 --> 00:11:37.117
  • Is he's trying to disciple them into true covenant.
  • 00:11:38.151 --> 00:11:40.220
  • And they started, let me just they started fighting the wrong fight.
  • 00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:43.924
  • They started fighting each other.
  • 00:11:44.658 --> 00:11:46.426
  • And instead of fighting the enemy, remember we covenanted to each other
  • 00:11:46.426 --> 00:11:49.329
  • Where the body of christ says the hand, say to the foot, i have no need of thee.
  • 00:11:49.329 --> 00:11:54.334
  • Does the eye say to the mouth, i have no need of thee like we are one.
  • 00:11:55.736 --> 00:11:58.438
  • We might be different, but we are not disconnected.
  • 00:11:58.438 --> 00:12:01.942
  • We are one in the spirit.
  • 00:12:01.942 --> 00:12:04.144
  • There's dark days up ahead.
  • 00:12:04.144 --> 00:12:06.446
  • And while america very well may be going into revival.
  • 00:12:06.446 --> 00:12:10.183
  • See the devil.
  • 00:12:10.550 --> 00:12:11.885
  • He has a counterfeit revival. you
  • 00:12:11.885 --> 00:12:13.920
  • See, when god brings his children from death to life,
  • 00:12:14.955 --> 00:12:18.625
  • What satan does is he resurrects old offenses.
  • 00:12:19.593 --> 00:12:25.565
  • He'll take the offense from 2020
  • 00:12:26.199 --> 00:12:28.435
  • That had the streets of new york city being burned down.
  • 00:12:28.435 --> 00:12:31.772
  • Come on, and he'll resurrect an old offense.
  • 00:12:32.706 --> 00:12:34.241
  • Let me just tell you, there's counterfeit revival, too.
  • 00:12:34.241 --> 00:12:37.310
  • And the devil has a way of reviving some old sayings and just mark my words.
  • 00:12:38.812 --> 00:12:42.415
  • You're going to see the valley of dry bones
  • 00:12:43.316 --> 00:12:44.684
  • Turn into an exceedingly great army of christians.
  • 00:12:44.684 --> 00:12:47.287
  • But you're going to see a demonic army of those who claim christ.
  • 00:12:47.287 --> 00:12:51.491
  • But don't forgive like him.
  • 00:12:51.491 --> 00:12:53.193
  • Don't prophesy like him.
  • 00:12:53.193 --> 00:12:54.961
  • Come on. don't minister like him.
  • 00:12:54.961 --> 00:12:56.596
  • Don't love like him.
  • 00:12:56.596 --> 00:12:57.964
  • So not everybody bearing the label bears the mark.
  • 00:12:57.964 --> 00:13:03.103
  • This is a prophetic message.
  • 00:13:03.703 --> 00:13:06.139
  • So to the church at ephesus.
  • 00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:07.774
  • Yes. there's more.
  • 00:13:07.774 --> 00:13:09.276
  • More rebuke, more correction.
  • 00:13:09.276 --> 00:13:13.013
  • If you're near one of our campuses,
  • 00:13:13.747 --> 00:13:15.849
  • I want to give you a personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:13:15.849 --> 00:13:20.720
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:13:22.189 --> 00:13:25.392
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:13:26.393 --> 00:13:28.995
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:13:29.963 --> 00:13:31.798
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:13:31.798 --> 00:13:35.902
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1
  • 00:13:37.037 --> 00:13:38.705
  • Church.
  • 00:13:38.705 --> 00:13:43.109
  • Go to second kings chapter 13.
  • 00:13:43.743 --> 00:13:45.745
  • Let's go, old covenant, let's go.
  • 00:13:45.745 --> 00:13:47.214
  • Old testament, second kings, chapter 13.
  • 00:13:47.214 --> 00:13:51.484
  • This is a powerful, powerful illustration.
  • 00:13:52.385 --> 00:13:55.222
  • Second kings, chapter 13.
  • 00:13:55.222 --> 00:13:57.023
  • And we're going to start with verse 14.
  • 00:13:57.023 --> 00:13:59.359
  • Now, when elijah had fallen sick
  • 00:13:59.359 --> 00:14:01.828
  • With the illness of which he was to die,
  • 00:14:01.828 --> 00:14:05.232
  • That in of itself is a whole nother sermon we don't have time for.
  • 00:14:06.566 --> 00:14:08.301
  • So the great prophet elijah, who now is on track to fulfill double
  • 00:14:09.636 --> 00:14:12.505
  • The amount of miracles as the prophet elijah, is now
  • 00:14:12.505 --> 00:14:16.142
  • Sick with the illness of watch, which he will die.
  • 00:14:16.142 --> 00:14:19.813
  • Then it says, joash, king of israel, went down to him and wept before him.
  • 00:14:21.281 --> 00:14:24.718
  • And he's crying, my father, my father, the chariots of israel and its horsemen.
  • 00:14:24.718 --> 00:14:29.422
  • Verse 15.
  • 00:14:29.723 --> 00:14:31.024
  • And elijah said to him, okay, now watch this.
  • 00:14:31.024 --> 00:14:32.692
  • Just follow me.
  • 00:14:32.692 --> 00:14:34.194
  • If you if you write in your bible, if you're inclined,
  • 00:14:34.194 --> 00:14:36.029
  • This is you have my permission to start writing.
  • 00:14:36.029 --> 00:14:38.698
  • Take a bow and arrows.
  • 00:14:38.698 --> 00:14:40.734
  • So he took a bow and arrows.
  • 00:14:40.734 --> 00:14:43.503
  • Then in verse 16, there's another command.
  • 00:14:43.503 --> 00:14:46.006
  • The prophet says, draw the bow, and he drew it.
  • 00:14:46.006 --> 00:14:49.876
  • And then elijah laid his hand on the king's hands.
  • 00:14:50.911 --> 00:14:52.879
  • Then he said, open the window eastward.
  • 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.282
  • So he opens the window.
  • 00:14:55.282 --> 00:14:57.117
  • Then elijah said, now shoot. and he shot.
  • 00:14:57.117 --> 00:14:59.853
  • Then he said, the lord's arrow of victory, the arrow victory over syria.
  • 00:14:59.853 --> 00:15:04.291
  • For you shall fight the syrians in a fact.
  • 00:15:05.191 --> 00:15:06.760
  • And it says, until you have made an end of them.
  • 00:15:06.760 --> 00:15:08.828
  • Now let me for. nobody's shouting.
  • 00:15:08.828 --> 00:15:12.065
  • Nobody's jumping on their feet.
  • 00:15:12.699 --> 00:15:13.500
  • So that is my indicator.
  • 00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:14.868
  • I have to teach this because that was powerful.
  • 00:15:14.868 --> 00:15:18.772
  • Young people.
  • 00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:21.641
  • God will never give you the whole plan.
  • 00:15:21.641 --> 00:15:24.277
  • Because if he gave you the whole plan, you wouldn't need him.
  • 00:15:24.277 --> 00:15:30.350
  • So stop
  • 00:15:30.583 --> 00:15:31.985
  • Expecting to get this divine download where he shows
  • 00:15:31.985 --> 00:15:35.288
  • You 26 to 89 years old and you walk it out because you would walk.
  • 00:15:35.288 --> 00:15:40.060
  • You'd be walking out a plan without a person,
  • 00:15:41.027 --> 00:15:43.196
  • And the just shall live by faith.
  • 00:15:43.930 --> 00:15:47.667
  • Faith is the evidence of things hoped for and the substance of things
  • 00:15:49.035 --> 00:15:52.939
  • Not seen.
  • 00:15:53.239 --> 00:15:55.108
  • But i want to see it. god!
  • 00:15:55.108 --> 00:15:58.812
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:15:59.145 --> 00:16:00.280
  • Don't see it. walk it out.
  • 00:16:00.280 --> 00:16:02.849
  • And he gives it to you.
  • 00:16:02.849 --> 00:16:03.984
  • One act of obedience at a time.
  • 00:16:03.984 --> 00:16:06.753
  • If you want to unlock the invisible staircase
  • 00:16:06.753 --> 00:16:09.522
  • That takes you to the next level, you have to take it one step at a time.
  • 00:16:09.522 --> 00:16:14.227
  • And when he tells you to do something, you obey.
  • 00:16:15.195 --> 00:16:16.496
  • When he tells you to do something, you obey.
  • 00:16:16.496 --> 00:16:20.367
  • That is the sacred way of god.
  • 00:16:18.531 --> 00:16:22.635
  • And of all these years i've been serving the lord.
  • 00:16:22.635 --> 00:16:25.005
  • I've never found a cheat code. there's no.
  • 00:16:25.005 --> 00:16:27.640
  • I can't jump into a tube and warp like super mario.
  • 00:16:27.640 --> 00:16:30.643
  • There is no, there is enough.
  • 00:16:30.643 --> 00:16:32.078
  • There's no way out of radical obedience.
  • 00:16:32.078 --> 00:16:34.781
  • One step at a time.
  • 00:16:34.781 --> 00:16:37.350
  • No other way, no other way.
  • 00:16:37.350 --> 00:16:40.120
  • And so
  • 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.554
  • I find it
  • 00:16:41.855 --> 00:16:43.556
  • Interesting because you see this dynamic between the prophet elijah
  • 00:16:43.556 --> 00:16:46.159
  • And the king of israel, and he's giving them commands and he's obeying.
  • 00:16:47.594 --> 00:16:50.430
  • He's giving them commands.
  • 00:16:50.430 --> 00:16:51.731
  • But i want to give you another warning.
  • 00:16:51.731 --> 00:16:54.434
  • God has specific.
  • 00:16:54.434 --> 00:16:57.737
  • That's why you need to stop settling
  • 00:16:58.505 --> 00:16:59.706
  • For who you're dating.
  • 00:16:59.706 --> 00:17:04.377
  • I don't know if i believe in soulmates.
  • 00:17:05.245 --> 00:17:07.047
  • Well, i believe that you knew you messed up when you were with them.
  • 00:17:07.047 --> 00:17:11.684
  • God is specific.
  • 00:17:12.052 --> 00:17:13.920
  • Some of you order a bagel with more specificity than a relationship.
  • 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.158
  • And that's your problem.
  • 00:17:18.658 --> 00:17:20.927
  • That's your problem.
  • 00:17:20.927 --> 00:17:23.563
  • I have a bacon, egg, and cheese with it as i come on,
  • 00:17:23.563 --> 00:17:26.332
  • If you only chose your mate with that same level of detail.
  • 00:17:26.332 --> 00:17:35.108
  • So watch this though.
  • 00:17:35.608 --> 00:17:38.978
  • It's about specificity.
  • 00:17:39.479 --> 00:17:41.347
  • It's about the details.
  • 00:17:41.347 --> 00:17:42.849
  • God cares about that.
  • 00:17:42.849 --> 00:17:44.417
  • Let me tell you the story of the location you're in right now,
  • 00:17:44.417 --> 00:17:46.553
  • Or you're watching on television.
  • 00:17:46.553 --> 00:17:48.555
  • I had a dream that one of my mentors who had passed away, his name was tim keller.
  • 00:17:48.555 --> 00:17:53.326
  • Tim keller had a 5000 plus person church here in new york city.
  • 00:17:54.627 --> 00:17:57.931
  • That church still exists. multi-site.
  • 00:17:57.931 --> 00:18:00.333
  • Tim was a mentor to me, and i had this dream.
  • 00:18:00.333 --> 00:18:03.837
  • And in the dream, tim keller, he now, by the way,
  • 00:18:04.871 --> 00:18:07.407
  • Tim keller died and he died of cancer.
  • 00:18:07.407 --> 00:18:10.410
  • But in the dream, he was this young man and he had this, like, seersucker
  • 00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:14.447
  • Suit on from the 70s.
  • 00:18:14.447 --> 00:18:15.949
  • And it was this weird phenomenon where i walked up to him.
  • 00:18:15.949 --> 00:18:19.319
  • I was on roosevelt island.
  • 00:18:19.886 --> 00:18:21.154
  • You guys know where roosevelt island is?
  • 00:18:21.154 --> 00:18:22.922
  • Okay, so it's in between brooklyn, queens area and then manhattan,
  • 00:18:22.922 --> 00:18:26.860
  • And i'm on roosevelt island.
  • 00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:28.394
  • I'm like, tim, you look amazing.
  • 00:18:28.394 --> 00:18:30.196
  • He was like, thanks.
  • 00:18:30.196 --> 00:18:31.431
  • So, like, dad, tim keller is telling me in a dream.
  • 00:18:32.499 --> 00:18:34.734
  • Then he did. he goes, i want to show you something.
  • 00:18:34.734 --> 00:18:36.870
  • I've been waiting to show you this.
  • 00:18:36.870 --> 00:18:38.404
  • And he walks me down to the corner of roosevelt island,
  • 00:18:38.404 --> 00:18:41.474
  • And he points to manhattan. and this is what he said.
  • 00:18:41.474 --> 00:18:44.110
  • Mike, if you answer their questions, they will answer your prayers.
  • 00:18:44.110 --> 00:18:49.382
  • And then i woke up
  • 00:18:49.816 --> 00:18:51.784
  • And i was like, whoa, i think this dream meant something.
  • 00:18:51.784 --> 00:18:55.221
  • So at the time, our church was trying to lead a thousand souls to christ.
  • 00:18:56.656 --> 00:18:59.926
  • We had an initiative. do you guys remember that?
  • 00:19:00.927 --> 00:19:02.662
  • So i went to the elders of the church, and i said, i had this dream,
  • 00:19:02.662 --> 00:19:05.598
  • And i said, i don't.
  • 00:19:06.065 --> 00:19:07.333
  • And i wasn't thinking about a campus.
  • 00:19:07.333 --> 00:19:09.669
  • I was just simply thinking, what if we try to boot up an evening service
  • 00:19:09.669 --> 00:19:14.307
  • And we can lead more lost people for a season, and then let's lead
  • 00:19:15.675 --> 00:19:17.744
  • These thousand souls to christ,
  • 00:19:17.744 --> 00:19:19.712
  • And then we'll shut everything down and we'll go back to business as usual.
  • 00:19:19.712 --> 00:19:22.815
  • But i said, here's the thing.
  • 00:19:23.449 --> 00:19:24.784
  • Manhattan is so expensive, and it's so crazy
  • 00:19:24.784 --> 00:19:26.953
  • That if we find a venue in manhattan, we know it's god.
  • 00:19:26.953 --> 00:19:30.023
  • And all the new yorkers said, amen.
  • 00:19:30.023 --> 00:19:32.659
  • So all of a sudden, i called the vh1 church board member
  • 00:19:32.659 --> 00:19:35.929
  • And i'm like, yo, i, the elders approve of this idea.
  • 00:19:36.963 --> 00:19:38.798
  • We're going to try to do evening services in manhattan.
  • 00:19:38.798 --> 00:19:41.267
  • I'm looking for a space. do you know of anywhere?
  • 00:19:41.267 --> 00:19:43.836
  • And you know what he says?
  • 00:19:43.836 --> 00:19:45.505
  • Actually, it's so crazy. you ask me.
  • 00:19:45.505 --> 00:19:47.874
  • He was just like, we actually have a space that we want to rent.
  • 00:19:47.874 --> 00:19:51.411
  • And i said, well, where is it?
  • 00:19:52.045 --> 00:19:53.146
  • No, i didn't tell him in the dream
  • 00:19:53.146 --> 00:19:54.647
  • That tim keller had pointed to the financial district.
  • 00:19:54.647 --> 00:19:57.417
  • So all of a sudden he goes, i don't even know
  • 00:19:58.351 --> 00:20:01.120
  • If this would work for you, but the venues in the financial district.
  • 00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:05.091
  • I almost dropped my phone
  • 00:20:05.658 --> 00:20:08.561
  • Because god was divinely speaking.
  • 00:20:09.329 --> 00:20:11.798
  • So here's the thing.
  • 00:20:12.265 --> 00:20:13.700
  • Through that prophetic dream, tim keller points
  • 00:20:13.700 --> 00:20:16.703
  • To the financial district, the first and only door.
  • 00:20:16.703 --> 00:20:20.540
  • I don't want to say too much, but i heard that we spent all summer
  • 00:20:21.841 --> 00:20:23.610
  • Looking for new venues
  • 00:20:23.610 --> 00:20:25.211
  • And never found one, which only substantiates this story more.
  • 00:20:25.211 --> 00:20:28.982
  • The one and venue.
  • 00:20:29.415 --> 00:20:30.583
  • The one and only venue that opened up
  • 00:20:30.583 --> 00:20:32.385
  • Was in the very place that he pointed to in the dream.
  • 00:20:32.385 --> 00:20:35.722
  • God is a god of specifics.
  • 00:20:36.289 --> 00:20:40.393
  • Specifics? there's something about that.
  • 00:20:41.261 --> 00:20:43.730
  • When the lord told me to go into a stadium and fill a stadium,
  • 00:20:44.931 --> 00:20:47.634
  • We tried all over america to get a stadium.
  • 00:20:47.634 --> 00:20:50.803
  • Every door was locked.
  • 00:20:50.803 --> 00:20:52.071
  • Nobody would agree to do a christian event.
  • 00:20:52.071 --> 00:20:54.574
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:20:54.574 --> 00:20:56.309
  • Every stadium was coming back saying, we hate working with christians.
  • 00:20:56.309 --> 00:20:59.078
  • We need to do something about our witness.
  • 00:20:59.946 --> 00:21:01.814
  • And they were.
  • 00:21:02.181 --> 00:21:02.882
  • And they went.
  • 00:21:02.882 --> 00:21:04.584
  • Then finally, i'm flying over chicago, going to o'hare airport,
  • 00:21:04.584 --> 00:21:07.520
  • And the lord causes me to look down.
  • 00:21:08.288 --> 00:21:09.489
  • And he said, mike,
  • 00:21:09.489 --> 00:21:11.357
  • Do you remember when you helped reinhardt and bunkie do a crusade in chicago?
  • 00:21:11.357 --> 00:21:14.394
  • I said, yes, he said, rinehart is past.
  • 00:21:15.261 --> 00:21:16.529
  • He's dead.
  • 00:21:16.529 --> 00:21:17.297
  • Ask me
  • 00:21:17.297 --> 00:21:19.265
  • For the mantle of rinehart for chicago, and i'll open up a door to a stadium.
  • 00:21:19.265 --> 00:21:22.769
  • And literally the first call we made to a stadium in chicago,
  • 00:21:23.936 --> 00:21:25.938
  • They gave us an immediate yes.
  • 00:21:25.938 --> 00:21:29.275
  • Hey, mike. signa rally here in the studio.
  • 00:21:30.176 --> 00:21:31.611
  • We're getting ready to jump back into the sermon,
  • 00:21:31.611 --> 00:21:33.713
  • But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
  • 00:21:33.713 --> 00:21:36.683
  • That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
  • 00:21:36.683 --> 00:21:40.720
  • And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
  • 00:21:42.121 --> 00:21:45.792
  • And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
  • 00:21:46.893 --> 00:21:48.861
  • I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
  • 00:21:48.861 --> 00:21:53.366
  • Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
  • 00:21:53.366 --> 00:21:57.136
  • In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:21:57.136 --> 00:22:01.574
  • It's called the breakers of mobile app.
  • 00:22:02.375 --> 00:22:04.277
  • It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
  • 00:22:04.277 --> 00:22:08.448
  • I will see you there.
  • 00:22:08.948 --> 00:22:13.519
  • So why do i say that?
  • 00:22:14.020 --> 00:22:15.388
  • Is that god has specifics? okay, look at the text.
  • 00:22:15.388 --> 00:22:17.790
  • Let's finish this thing.
  • 00:22:17.790 --> 00:22:19.625
  • Verse 18, he gives the last command.
  • 00:22:19.625 --> 00:22:22.929
  • It says, and take the arrows.
  • 00:22:23.563 --> 00:22:24.597
  • And he took them.
  • 00:22:24.597 --> 00:22:25.765
  • See, he's being obedient, specific.
  • 00:22:25.765 --> 00:22:27.800
  • And he said to the king of israel, watch.
  • 00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:29.869
  • Strike the ground with them.
  • 00:22:29.869 --> 00:22:33.306
  • Let's hang on that sentence.
  • 00:22:33.906 --> 00:22:35.875
  • Did he say how many times?
  • 00:22:35.875 --> 00:22:39.145
  • So the insinuation would be.
  • 00:22:39.746 --> 00:22:41.214
  • Keep on striking.
  • 00:22:41.214 --> 00:22:43.750
  • He didn't say strike it three times.
  • 00:22:43.750 --> 00:22:45.818
  • He didn't say strike it ten times.
  • 00:22:45.818 --> 00:22:47.520
  • He said a very simple command.
  • 00:22:47.520 --> 00:22:49.655
  • Strike the the ground.
  • 00:22:49.655 --> 00:22:51.991
  • Here's the problem with most christians
  • 00:22:51.991 --> 00:22:54.961
  • Is we don't listen for specifics. see?
  • 00:22:54.961 --> 00:22:59.632
  • Oh come on.
  • 00:22:59.966 --> 00:23:01.067
  • This is what happens.
  • 00:23:01.067 --> 00:23:02.435
  • Let's continue reading.
  • 00:23:02.435 --> 00:23:04.103
  • It says in verse 19, then the man of god was angry with him,
  • 00:23:04.103 --> 00:23:08.107
  • And he said, wait a second.
  • 00:23:08.708 --> 00:23:10.042
  • You only struck it three times. you stopped.
  • 00:23:10.042 --> 00:23:12.011
  • You should have struck it five times.
  • 00:23:12.011 --> 00:23:13.679
  • Six times, more times.
  • 00:23:13.679 --> 00:23:15.515
  • And then you would have struck down syria until you've made an end of it.
  • 00:23:15.515 --> 00:23:19.085
  • But now you will strike down syria only three times.
  • 00:23:20.153 --> 00:23:23.456
  • So what he was saying is partial persistence produces a partial victory.
  • 00:23:24.891 --> 00:23:30.430
  • You should have kept striking the ground.
  • 00:23:31.297 --> 00:23:34.233
  • And i don't know who i'm talking to, but why did you stop praying for your father?
  • 00:23:34.233 --> 00:23:39.071
  • Keep striking the ground.
  • 00:23:39.639 --> 00:23:41.007
  • Your dad can still be saved.
  • 00:23:41.007 --> 00:23:43.476
  • I don't know what i'm talking about,
  • 00:23:43.476 --> 00:23:45.044
  • But why did you stop praying for supernatural healing?
  • 00:23:45.044 --> 00:23:48.548
  • Keep striking the ground.
  • 00:23:49.115 --> 00:23:50.716
  • You may not have gotten healed the first time you prayed, but
  • 00:23:50.716 --> 00:23:53.286
  • He is still a healer.
  • 00:23:53.286 --> 00:23:54.921
  • Keep on believing for healing.
  • 00:23:54.921 --> 00:23:57.089
  • Is there somebody who can shout, strike the ground
  • 00:23:57.089 --> 00:24:01.561
  • There!
  • 00:24:01.794 --> 00:24:03.129
  • There's a holy persistence in the scripture.
  • 00:24:03.129 --> 00:24:05.865
  • The bible talks about through the words of jesus, the power of a persistent woman
  • 00:24:07.467 --> 00:24:10.970
  • Who went before the judge and she wouldn't shut up.
  • 00:24:12.038 --> 00:24:14.273
  • And the judge, being so annoyed by this woman, said,
  • 00:24:15.341 --> 00:24:17.310
  • I will honor your plea, not because i agree with you,
  • 00:24:17.310 --> 00:24:20.580
  • But because i'm tired of you and i don't know who i'm talking to.
  • 00:24:21.781 --> 00:24:24.484
  • But the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, but the violent take it
  • 00:24:25.885 --> 00:24:28.321
  • By force.
  • 00:24:28.321 --> 00:24:29.755
  • God, i'm not going to be silent in your new york city.
  • 00:24:29.755 --> 00:24:32.792
  • Is saved.
  • 00:24:32.792 --> 00:24:34.026
  • I'm going to keep striking the ground.
  • 00:24:34.026 --> 00:24:36.796
  • Come on.
  • 00:24:37.063 --> 00:24:37.697
  • Somebody.
  • 00:24:37.697 --> 00:24:39.732
  • I'm persistent.
  • 00:24:39.732 --> 00:24:43.102
  • It's got to be something on the inside of me that's like, i won't give up.
  • 00:24:44.537 --> 00:24:46.506
  • Y'all just shut back up to your feet.
  • 00:24:46.506 --> 00:24:50.510
  • I got to pray.
  • 00:24:50.877 --> 00:24:54.113
  • Come on.
  • 00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:55.147
  • Strike the ground!
  • 00:24:55.147 --> 00:25:00.520
  • How many of you know this scripture?
  • 00:24:56.649 --> 00:25:02.255
  • Submit yourself therefore to god.
  • 00:25:02.255 --> 00:25:05.224
  • Resist the devil.
  • 00:25:05.224 --> 00:25:07.059
  • And what?
  • 00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:08.961
  • There's a form of warfare
  • 00:25:08.961 --> 00:25:10.897
  • That only comes through resistance.
  • 00:25:10.897 --> 00:25:13.799
  • You can't cast every principality out.
  • 00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:17.036
  • Some of them you have to resist.
  • 00:25:17.670 --> 00:25:19.539
  • See, i'm trying to take you deeper right now.
  • 00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:21.607
  • It says submit yourself to god.
  • 00:25:21.607 --> 00:25:23.976
  • Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
  • 00:25:23.976 --> 00:25:26.946
  • So everybody trying to cast out something that the lord called you to resist.
  • 00:25:26.946 --> 00:25:31.684
  • Say that with me. resist.
  • 00:25:32.251 --> 00:25:34.020
  • There are some long standing principalities
  • 00:25:34.020 --> 00:25:36.789
  • In new york city, and they're not going to go easy.
  • 00:25:36.789 --> 00:25:40.226
  • But god's looking for a people who will dig their heels in and resist
  • 00:25:41.661 --> 00:25:44.330
  • And say, devil, there's only one of us moving out of this city,
  • 00:25:45.531 --> 00:25:48.200
  • And it's not going to be me.
  • 00:25:48.801 --> 00:25:50.036
  • I'm going to keep striking the ground.
  • 00:25:50.036 --> 00:25:51.904
  • There's something about a holy resistance.
  • 00:25:51.904 --> 00:25:55.241
  • There's something about planting your feet down
  • 00:25:56.242 --> 00:25:57.910
  • In a place and say, devil, i am going to remain this time.
  • 00:25:57.910 --> 00:26:02.014
  • You wanted me to run away.
  • 00:26:02.582 --> 00:26:03.616
  • You wanted me to escape.
  • 00:26:03.616 --> 00:26:05.217
  • You wanted me to schedule that flight.
  • 00:26:05.217 --> 00:26:07.253
  • You taunted me with that apartment.
  • 00:26:07.253 --> 00:26:09.388
  • You taunted me with that job.
  • 00:26:09.388 --> 00:26:11.257
  • But god told me where to be.
  • 00:26:11.257 --> 00:26:13.359
  • God told. i'm here to be obedient.
  • 00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.628
  • I'm here to be rooted.
  • 00:26:15.628 --> 00:26:17.096
  • I'm here to jump.
  • 00:26:17.096 --> 00:26:18.364
  • Come on. somebody to stay in god's will.
  • 00:26:18.364 --> 00:26:21.601
  • And if he didn't tell me to stop, i'm not going to stop.
  • 00:26:22.735 --> 00:26:24.870
  • He told me to strike the ground.
  • 00:26:25.504 --> 00:26:26.806
  • He didn't tell me when to stop.
  • 00:26:26.806 --> 00:26:28.674
  • So i'm must keep on striking the ground.
  • 00:26:28.674 --> 00:26:33.746
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:38.384
  • I really
  • 00:26:38.651 --> 00:26:40.052
  • Want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:26:40.052 --> 00:26:42.154
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:42.154 --> 00:26:44.624
  • We don't tell people what to give.
