1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,400
Foreign.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,400
I promised a short message and
I want you to go to Matthew chapter

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,080
21.

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,040
And I'm gonna.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,520
I mean, I'm gonna try to
preach this short.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,320
I gotta say, I gotta leave
something in the tank for London,

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,400
you know, but Matthew 21, I
want to talk to you as your pastor.

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,130
And I'm looking into this
camera right now because 2027 is

9
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:30,530
gonna be a difficult year.

10
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:34,930
2027 is gonna be far worse
than 2026.

11
00:00:35,490 --> 00:00:39,170
And I want you to begin to
prepare yourself mentally, prepare

12
00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:40,290
yourself spiritually.

13
00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:44,450
Some of you got a 25 year food
supply, but haven't eaten fresh bread

14
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:47,490
by reading the word of God in
the last couple weeks.

15
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:51,170
Some of you guys know how to
get potable water, but can't flow

16
00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:53,090
living water out of your belly.

17
00:00:53,170 --> 00:00:56,010
Some of you have prepared in
the natural, but haven't prepared

18
00:00:56,010 --> 00:00:57,290
in the spiritual realm.

19
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:57,550
But.

20
00:00:57,620 --> 00:01:00,180
But this is a time of
spiritual preparedness.

21
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:04,700
If the Bible says, don't fear
the one who can kill your body, but

22
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:08,380
fear the one who can kill your
very soul, how many of you know that

23
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:10,740
the fear of God is the
beginning of wisdom?

24
00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:12,140
And so I'm ready.

25
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:15,220
But when I say I'm ready, I'm
not talking about a food supply.

26
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:17,540
I'm not talking about a cachet
of water.

27
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:20,740
Don't come to the Signorelli's
house trying to get some supplies.

28
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:23,060
I'm closing the door out on
some of y', all.

29
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:23,940
But I'm talking.

30
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:26,980
We have to be spiritually prepared.

31
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:29,780
Spiritually prepared.

32
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:34,820
And 2026 into 2027 is the
fourth turning.

33
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:37,860
We are in the fourth set of 80 years.

34
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:42,260
And what that means in the
great turning is that civilization

35
00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:46,380
and society will never be the
same after the next couple years.

36
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:48,260
And we're reaching the apex.

37
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:52,260
We're reaching the very climax
of that transition.

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600
So stop hoping that things get better.

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Stop hoping that this
transition goes away.

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,440
And mentally and emotionally
and spiritually prepare yourself

41
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,560
to journey through it, not
around it.

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,480
Because we have a Christianity
based in escapism.

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Jesus didn't say go around the mountain.

44
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:17,440
He said, speak to the mountain
and tell it to move, and it'll move.

45
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,200
So we are faith people.

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,240
We don't walk around obstacles.

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,400
We speak to them.

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,760
And so this is the time for
prophecy like never before.

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Where are my prophets at in
this church?

50
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Do we got any prophets in this church?

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,240
This is the time to be prophesying.

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,320
This is the time to be discerning.

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,080
Like the sons of Issachar who
knew the times that they were in.

54
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,400
This is not the time for Conspiracy.

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,360
This is a time for Holy Spirit revelation.

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,240
The Bible says that God does
nothing without first revealing it

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,240
to his prophets.

58
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,920
How many of you know that
Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecy

59
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:56,580
and we all are here of
actually fulfilling New Testament

60
00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:57,340
prophecy?

61
00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:00,340
How many of you believe that
we're living in the days of fulfilled

62
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:01,100
prophecy?

63
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:01,820
Come on.

64
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:05,820
So when you look at this
journey with Jesus, we started at

65
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:06,540
Bethlehem.

66
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:07,260
We've.

67
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:11,220
We're only weeks away from
being done with this series, and

68
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:14,460
now we have found ourselves in Jerusalem.

69
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:19,300
And in fact, Jerusalem is not
only where the story ends, but it's

70
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:20,700
also where the story re.

71
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:22,060
It begins.

72
00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:23,780
Again, how many of you.

73
00:03:23,780 --> 00:03:26,140
Can I just go all over the
Bible for a few moments?

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:33,360
In Acts, chapter 2, Jesus
ascends to heaven, and he says, after

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,760
the Holy Spirit comes upon
you, you will receive power to be

76
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,640
my witnesses.

77
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,720
But here's the good news.

78
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,400
It says in the book of
Revelation, and then you see this

79
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,880
reference in other Old
Testament books.

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,400
The Return of Christ.

81
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,000
My friend John Bevere just
became a New York Times bestseller

82
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,640
with his new book that the
King is coming.

83
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,640
How many of you believe the
King is coming?

84
00:03:56,660 --> 00:03:57,140
Come on.

85
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,740
Go watch the interview that I
did with him on my channel.

86
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:00,740
It was brilliant.

87
00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:02,740
God has given him such a revelation.

88
00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:07,740
But just like I talked about
last week, the Mount of Olives, Jesus

89
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:11,300
Christ is gonna descend right
where he ascended.

90
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:15,260
So the same place where they
watched him go up, he's gonna come

91
00:04:15,260 --> 00:04:19,140
down, and he's gonna walk
right past those Muslim graves.

92
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:19,940
Come on.

93
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:23,380
They thought that if they put
the graves in front of the eastern

94
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:24,900
gate, they could keep them out.

95
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:28,180
But they didn't realize they
weren't dealing with a normal man.

96
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:28,780
Come on.

97
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:30,220
He's fully God.

98
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:32,260
They thought that if they
sealed up

99
00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:33,940
the east gate, I mean, what is

100
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:38,620
so threatening about this
carpenter, this man from the Galilee,

101
00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:42,420
that they actually seal the
eastern gate up and put a Muslim

102
00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:46,180
cemetery in front of it to try
to stop the prophecy that when he

103
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,820
comes back, he's going to walk
through the eastern gate.

104
00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:50,380
Well, I got good news for you.

105
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:54,070
The resurrected Jesus already
walked through walls when he came

106
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:55,190
to talk to Thomas.

107
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:58,870
So he's gonna walk with a
glorified body right through the

108
00:04:58,870 --> 00:05:02,390
eastern gate and fulfill every
bit of that prophecy.

109
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:02,710
And.

110
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:03,070
Come on.

111
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:08,070
While the world's looking for
UFOs and extraterrestrials, I'm waiting.

112
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:09,150
Maranatha.

113
00:05:09,150 --> 00:05:10,630
Come quickly, Jesus.

114
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:13,110
I'm not waiting to look at demons.

115
00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:15,190
I'm gonna behold my Savior.

116
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:16,790
Come quickly, Lord.

117
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:17,510
I'm ready.

118
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:19,980
Are y' all with me?

119
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:24,540
So the reason why I say that
is because now I'm gonna take you

120
00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:29,660
back to Matthew, chapter 21,
and we're gonna look at the parallel

121
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:34,060
between these events, what
happened the first time, paralleling

122
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:35,500
what's gonna happen the second time.

123
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:38,700
Now, do you have an appetite
for scripture at this church?

124
00:05:39,580 --> 00:05:40,020
Okay.

125
00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:41,660
Cause, Brooklyn, I didn't hear you.

126
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:42,540
Y' all are too quiet.

127
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:45,260
Do you have an appetite for
scripture at this church?

128
00:05:45,260 --> 00:05:47,260
Like, does anybody want to eat
with me?

129
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:50,040
Cause we're gonna have to read
a lot of SC Scripture.

130
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,360
So let's go through and really
digest this.

131
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,680
So slow down a little bit, and
let's taste our food as we eat it.

132
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,120
So chapter 21 of the book of
St. Matthew.

133
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,200
And when they drew nigh and
came into Jerusalem, we were.

134
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:08,480
They were come to Bethpage,
not on Long island, okay?

135
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,560
We're talking here in.

136
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,280
In Israel.

137
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:11,720
Okay?

138
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,960
And unto the Mount of Olives,
then sent Jesus two disciples.

139
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,000
How many did he send?

140
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:24,550
There's a pattern of Jesus
giving assignments in twos.

141
00:06:25,190 --> 00:06:29,830
The number one is too small to
fulfill your destiny if you'll never

142
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:30,550
go alone.

143
00:06:30,630 --> 00:06:31,430
If you go.

144
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:33,670
Listen, if you go alone, you
won't go far.

145
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:35,350
How many of you want to go together?

146
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:36,510
This is.

147
00:06:36,510 --> 00:06:37,910
We got to pray for unity.

148
00:06:37,910 --> 00:06:40,310
The unity of the church, the
unity of the body.

149
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:43,830
So he sends them out, and he
basically says, go into the village

150
00:06:44,330 --> 00:06:47,370
and straightway, and you'll
find a donkey and a colt.

151
00:06:47,530 --> 00:06:49,290
Loose them and bring them unto me.

152
00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:52,650
Verse 3 says, if any man says
unto you, you know, what are you

153
00:06:52,650 --> 00:06:53,050
going to say?

154
00:06:53,130 --> 00:06:56,770
He say, the Lord has need of
them, and straightway he will send

155
00:06:56,770 --> 00:06:57,050
them.

156
00:06:57,050 --> 00:07:00,770
And this was done that may be
fulfilled, which was spoken to the

157
00:07:00,770 --> 00:07:04,490
prophet, saying, tell ye the
daughter of Sion.

158
00:07:04,570 --> 00:07:09,850
Behold, the king comes unto
thee meek and sitting upon a donkey.

159
00:07:10,170 --> 00:07:10,970
Let me just tell you.

160
00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:18,090
Jesus goes into Jerusalem the
first time, meek, sitting on a donkey.

161
00:07:18,490 --> 00:07:23,410
The second time, he returns to
Jerusalem, he's riding a horse, and

162
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:24,650
he's coming for war.

163
00:07:24,890 --> 00:07:27,690
And it says, king of Kings
upon his thigh.

164
00:07:27,850 --> 00:07:28,570
Oh, I'm talk.

165
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:29,330
See, listen.

166
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:30,090
People don't understand.

167
00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:32,570
The first time, we saw him as
a lamb.

168
00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:35,050
The next time, he comes back
as a lion.

169
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:36,100
Come on.

170
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,940
Meekness is not weakness.

171
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:38,980
Are you with me?

172
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:41,420
And so we see this pattern.

173
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:45,860
Jesus is showing the lamb, but
he's preparing us for the lion.

174
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:46,940
Okay?

175
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:51,699
Now it says in verse seven,
they brought him the donkey and the

176
00:07:51,699 --> 00:07:54,500
colt, and they put on their
clothes, and they set him thereon.

177
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,940
And a very great multitude
spread their garments in the way.

178
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:01,300
Others cut down branches with
their trees, and they Strawed them

179
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:01,780
in the way.

180
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:05,340
And the multitudes that went
there and that followed cried, saying

181
00:08:05,340 --> 00:08:07,370
hosanna to the Son of David.

182
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,240
Blessed is he that comes in
the name of the Lord.

183
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,560
Hosanna and the highest.

184
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,080
Now that's my sermon next
week, so I'm gonna.

185
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,720
But I wanna do something that I've.

186
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,760
I have never done.

187
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
I'm gonna take you beyond this text.

188
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,319
And then we're gonna learn
something today that when we go to

189
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:27,440
church next Sunday for Palm
Sunday, it should unlock something

190
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600
in, in a major way for you.

191
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,760
So it's kind of like we're,
we're reading the prequels to Star

192
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,640
wars right now and it'll all
make sense.

193
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,400
Are you with me?

194
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,360
Okay, so this is the Palm
Sunday thing.

195
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,240
Blessed he that comes in the
name of the Lord.

196
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Hosanna in the highest, verse 10.

197
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,240
And when he came into
Jerusalem, all the city was moved,

198
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,560
saying, who is this?

199
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,200
And the multitude said, this
is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth,

200
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,080
of Galilee.

201
00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,200
Everybody say, no, I want to
show you something.

202
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,500
And this is for the Christian
nationalist who think they know Christ

203
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:07,940
but they're serving Republican.

204
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:09,500
Jesus may not be the real one.

205
00:09:10,220 --> 00:09:13,940
This is for the woke people
who think they serve Christ, but

206
00:09:13,940 --> 00:09:15,420
he's probably not the real one.

207
00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:18,700
How many of you know there's
many false Christs?

208
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:21,420
How many of you know there's
many antichrists?

209
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:24,820
How many of you know that many
people have fashioned Christ into

210
00:09:24,820 --> 00:09:27,100
an image of their use for manipulation.

211
00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:31,340
The reason why we spent the
first three months journeying with

212
00:09:31,340 --> 00:09:35,730
Jesus is because V1 church is
going to surrender to the root of.

213
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,080
Not the Christ that looks like
the image of my own preferences,

214
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,840
not the Christ that actually
meets my political agendas, not the

215
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,640
Christ that I conform to.

216
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,240
What I want him to say.

217
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,240
No, we are all submitting to
Jesus Christ, the true Jesus Christ.

218
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,000
So we submit and surrender to
his will, to his way.

219
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,760
We sit and come on.

220
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,700
This is not being preached
because I'm telling you there's people

221
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:07,380
building their churches right
now with the false Christ and they're

222
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:10,500
building this church not
realizing it's a house of cards,

223
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:14,100
that when the next election
comes, it's going to be blown over.

224
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:15,380
How many of you know that?

225
00:10:15,380 --> 00:10:18,900
We're not building on sand, we
are building on the rock.

226
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,660
And if Christ tarries, this is
a multi generational ministry that

227
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:24,500
is being built

228
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:26,860
on the solid rock of the word
of God.

229
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:27,940
Come on, somebody.

230
00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:33,620
Because one of the dangers of
today is people fashioning an image

231
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,580
of Jesus into their own preference.

232
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:42,060
Pentecostal, Jesus Baptist,
Jesus High Church Jesus with liturgy

233
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:42,420
low.

234
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:44,940
Church Jesus with extended worship.

235
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:46,820
Jesus with stained glass windows.

236
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:48,540
Jesus with LED walls.

237
00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:50,140
Push it all aside.

238
00:10:50,460 --> 00:10:54,060
Take your intellectualism,
take your emotionalism.

239
00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:57,310
I want the real Jesus.

240
00:10:57,310 --> 00:10:58,990
I am after him.

241
00:10:59,070 --> 00:11:01,550
I want the real Jesus.

242
00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:03,870
Are you all with me?

243
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:05,150
Are you with me?

244
00:11:05,870 --> 00:11:09,830
This is why I think the Lord
has entrusted me with the opportunity

245
00:11:09,830 --> 00:11:10,910
in Times Square.

246
00:11:11,230 --> 00:11:15,390
Because I decrease so that he
would increase, because I get out

247
00:11:15,390 --> 00:11:17,790
of the way so that he can have
his way.

248
00:11:18,030 --> 00:11:21,320
The journey with Jesus is a
journey of death.

249
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,360
Does anybody want to die to
self with me?

250
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Does anyone?

251
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,120
Come on.

252
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Because this is how you begin
to flow in the perfect will of God.

253
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,040
So Jesus is in Jerusalem and
he's stirring up the city.

254
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,480
Now here's where it gets crazy.

255
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,320
I, I'm, I got a 4.0 in my
Greek class, so I'm qualified.

256
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,600
Can I tell you some of the
Greek and Aramaic in here now?

257
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,980
Okay, so when you look at
verse 10, it says, and when he had

258
00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:50,980
come into Jerusalem, all the
city was moved.

259
00:11:50,980 --> 00:11:55,100
When you look at that original
word moved, it actually is the same

260
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:56,900
word used for earthquake.

261
00:11:58,820 --> 00:12:02,980
So when Jesus came into the
city, it was like an earthquake.

262
00:12:03,540 --> 00:12:04,500
Oh, come on.

263
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:05,860
That'll preach right there.

264
00:12:06,980 --> 00:12:08,340
There was a rumbling.

265
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:10,980
There was a palpable shift.

266
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:14,340
How many of you believe that
Easter Sunday in Times Square is

267
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:15,380
going to be an earthquake?

268
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:18,260
There's gonna be a rumbling in
that city.

269
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:18,940
Come on.

270
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:21,540
I got the biggest sound system
that they would approve.

271
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:24,540
I said, if the Muslims are
putting their call of prayers on

272
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:28,500
a sound system, I'm just gonna
buy a bigger speaker for Easter Sunday.

273
00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:33,100
And that place is gonna rumble
with the praise and worship to the

274
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,420
God the most high.

275
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:35,140
Am I right?

276
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:37,860
So Jesus comes in, it's rumbling.

277
00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:39,780
But this is what I thought was interesting.

278
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:41,740
There's a revelation that's
gonna make sense.

279
00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:42,500
Look at verse 11.

280
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:44,260
And the multitude said.

281
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Everybody say multitude.

282
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Okay.

283
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,720
How many of you know the
multitude is almost always wrong

284
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,840
in Scripture?

285
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,440
Who's usually right?

286
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:57,640
The remnant.

287
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,920
Israel is, is whoring.

288
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,960
Israel is bowing down to false idols.

289
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,320
Israel is going after.

290
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,760
But then there's a remnant.

291
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,680
The usually in the scriptures,
when you look at each story, only

292
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,600
a few people actually are right.

293
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:15,430
The majority is usually wrong.

294
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:17,510
Moses is the minority.

295
00:13:17,510 --> 00:13:19,430
The majority is making gold calves.

296
00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:22,270
How many of you know if you're
going to stand for Christ in this

297
00:13:22,270 --> 00:13:22,750
generation?

298
00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:24,070
You're going to be a minority.

299
00:13:24,950 --> 00:13:25,630
You're going to be.

300
00:13:25,630 --> 00:13:26,790
You're going to be a minority.

301
00:13:27,270 --> 00:13:29,670
And even people who claim to
be Christ.

302
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:30,950
So this is what they said.

303
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:34,390
And the multitude said this is
Jesus the prophet.

304
00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:37,670
Who calls Jesus a prophet?

305
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Islam.

306
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,000
See, they'll always want to
unite over a lesser form of Jesus.

307
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,480
Did you catch that revelation?

308
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,000
False unity is always over a
reduction of Jesus.

309
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,280
No, no, he's.

310
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,440
Was he a prophet?

311
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Oh, yes.

312
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,320
But he was so much more.

313
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:01,360
Am I right?

314
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,920
He is the Son of the living God.

315
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,600
He is the Mashiach, he is the Messiah.

316
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,080
But the multitude will say,
well, I'll

317
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,640
give you he's a prophet.

318
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,240
No, no, I'm not asking you.

319
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,040
If you think he's a prophet,
take it up a notch.

320
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,880
He is the King of all kings,
the Lord of all lords.

321
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560
And if he's not the king, he's nothing.

322
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,560
There is no such thing as
Christ the prophet, he's the King

323
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,600
or he's nothing.

324
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,440
And I declare he's the King.

325
00:14:30,890 --> 00:14:32,570
So the multitude was wrong.

326
00:14:33,530 --> 00:14:36,650
This is Jesus, the prophet of
Nazareth, of Galilee.

327
00:14:36,650 --> 00:14:38,330
And you know, they mentioned Nazareth.

328
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:40,890
Now you know about Nazareth,
how they treat him in Nazareth.

329
00:14:41,530 --> 00:14:42,290
Do you see this?

330
00:14:42,290 --> 00:14:43,930
Is this making sense to you guys?

331
00:14:44,970 --> 00:14:45,770
Verse 12.

332
00:14:46,330 --> 00:14:50,970
And Jesus went into the temple
of God and cast all of them that

333
00:14:50,970 --> 00:14:55,490
sold and bought in the temple
and overthrew the tables of the money

334
00:14:55,490 --> 00:14:58,330
changers and the seats of them
that sold doves.

335
00:14:59,060 --> 00:15:01,620
Now, in ancient times, they.

336
00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:06,060
You couldn't use a coin, a
secular government's coin that had

337
00:15:06,060 --> 00:15:07,620
a pagan image on it.

338
00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:11,540
So there would be a changing
of coins and there would be an exchange

339
00:15:11,540 --> 00:15:15,620
for the necessary temple
sacrifices, like a dove.

340
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:18,340
Now, there is actually nothing
wrong with this.

341
00:15:18,580 --> 00:15:20,500
The problem was the scalping.

342
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,340
The problem was in the conversion.

343
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:24,980
There was people taking
advantage and manipulating.

344
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:27,850
There's a profound, profound
revelation in this because everybody

345
00:15:27,850 --> 00:15:31,450
talks about Jesus flipping the
tables and expelling people from

346
00:15:31,450 --> 00:15:34,810
the temple, but they're
missing a lot of revelation because

347
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:39,090
again, a lot of preachers,
these Chachi BT preachers, they don't

348
00:15:39,090 --> 00:15:39,490
have a.

349
00:15:39,490 --> 00:15:40,970
They haven't been in their
prayer closet.

350
00:15:40,970 --> 00:15:41,210
They.

351
00:15:41,210 --> 00:15:44,290
They smell like a laptop, not
like the aroma of God.

352
00:15:44,290 --> 00:15:45,250
You get what I'm saying?

353
00:15:45,810 --> 00:15:46,130
And.

354
00:15:46,130 --> 00:15:47,170
And so you can't.

355
00:15:47,170 --> 00:15:51,570
A lot of these, A lot of the
sermons about this, this Matthew,

356
00:15:51,570 --> 00:15:55,810
chapter 21 are regurgitations
of people saying stuff that sounds

357
00:15:55,810 --> 00:15:58,090
good, but can we look at the
text together?

358
00:15:58,250 --> 00:15:58,810
Church?

359
00:15:59,530 --> 00:16:01,370
Can we look at what it
actually says?

360
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:07,770
It says, he cast out all of
them that sold and bought in the

361
00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:12,130
temple and overthrew the
tables of the money changers and

362
00:16:12,130 --> 00:16:14,250
the seats of them that sold doves.

363
00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:18,250
And he said to them, it is
written, my house shall be called

364
00:16:18,250 --> 00:16:19,370
the house of prayer.

365
00:16:19,450 --> 00:16:21,930
But you have made it a den of thieves.

366
00:16:22,510 --> 00:16:23,070
Watch this.

367
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:23,950
Verse 14.

368
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:28,470
And the blind and the lame
came to him in the temple, and he

369
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:29,150
healed them.

370
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:31,710
What's happening?

371
00:16:33,070 --> 00:16:34,590
This is a picture of grace.

372
00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:37,790
He doesn't destroy the temple.

373
00:16:38,109 --> 00:16:39,870
He doesn't shut the temple down.

374
00:16:40,350 --> 00:16:44,030
He cast out the unrepentant
people who don't want to change.

375
00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:45,910
He doesn't mentor them.

376
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:47,870
He doesn't give them pastoral care.

377
00:16:48,110 --> 00:16:49,790
He doesn't try to convince them.

378
00:16:49,790 --> 00:16:52,910
He doesn't argue with them in
the comment section on YouTube.

379
00:16:52,990 --> 00:16:57,930
He simply ca cast them out,
discerning that they are committed

380
00:16:58,010 --> 00:17:01,210
to misunderstanding him and
they don't want to change.

381
00:17:01,530 --> 00:17:05,290
Unrepentant people don't need
a counseling session.

382
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:07,370
They need to be excommunicated.

383
00:17:07,610 --> 00:17:08,250
Come on.

384
00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:09,690
They don't need deliverance.

385
00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:11,450
They need to be dismissed.

386
00:17:11,610 --> 00:17:15,330
People who don't want to
change should not be in the house

387
00:17:15,330 --> 00:17:16,010
of God.

388
00:17:16,170 --> 00:17:19,890
There is a point where you can
justify saying this is the end of

389
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:20,250
the road.

390
00:17:20,609 --> 00:17:24,369
You can go infect somebody
else's flock with that disease, but

391
00:17:24,369 --> 00:17:25,969
don't bring it in here anymore.

392
00:17:25,969 --> 00:17:30,769
And what I love about Jesus is
Jesus was hard on boundaries with

393
00:17:30,849 --> 00:17:33,089
people who are stuck on stupid.

394
00:17:34,769 --> 00:17:37,089
Some of you need to become
like Jesus.

395
00:17:37,489 --> 00:17:40,969
And some of the people you're
trying to convince, you need to cast

396
00:17:40,969 --> 00:17:41,329
out.

397
00:17:41,649 --> 00:17:43,089
Some of the people you're
trying to

398
00:17:43,089 --> 00:17:45,889
win over, you need to release Jesus.

399
00:17:45,889 --> 00:17:46,449
Understood?

400
00:17:46,770 --> 00:17:48,690
I'm not going to shut the
whole temple down.

401
00:17:48,690 --> 00:17:50,290
I'm going to shut down the people

402
00:17:50,290 --> 00:17:51,730
who don't want to shut down.

403
00:17:51,890 --> 00:17:55,210
I'm going to flip the tables
of those who want to take advantage

404
00:17:55,210 --> 00:17:55,650
of people.

405
00:17:55,970 --> 00:17:59,810
Because we're here to worship
God, not help ourselves.

406
00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:03,570
So we need a reformation in
the church.

407
00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:06,770
We are here to build the house
of God.

408
00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:11,130
And some of us have gone too
far with people that Jesus would

409
00:18:11,130 --> 00:18:12,690
have cast out a long time ago.

410
00:18:14,830 --> 00:18:18,510
If you want to learn, Jesus
says, come.

411
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:20,590
We're going to look at this in
a few moments.

412
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:22,910
If you want to receive, come.

413
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:27,430
But if you are obstinate, if
you are stuck in your ways, or if

414
00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:31,230
you're prideful, if you're
taking advantage, Jesus Christ, the

415
00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:34,950
same spirit, I'm telling you,
will release you then.

416
00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:36,750
But here's what he does now.

417
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:37,550
Hear me loud and clear.

418
00:18:37,550 --> 00:18:39,070
Because I'm discipling our church.

419
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:42,650
Let's just be vulnerable together.

420
00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:47,730
There's no way you can attend
my church and not see bad videos

421
00:18:47,730 --> 00:18:48,410
about me.

422
00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:52,170
Not because I'm a bad dude,
but because I'm influential.

423
00:18:53,290 --> 00:18:54,570
Think about what I just said.

424
00:18:54,730 --> 00:18:58,650
It says more about the office,
the weight of the office I carry

425
00:18:58,730 --> 00:19:00,090
than it does me.

426
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:00,410
Why?

427
00:19:00,570 --> 00:19:03,690
Because you'll see videos
about everybody with influence.

428
00:19:03,690 --> 00:19:07,470
Have you noticed that we have
never had one president in the history

429
00:19:07,470 --> 00:19:11,790
of the United States that's
never had an entire propaganda against

430
00:19:11,790 --> 00:19:14,190
him to try to convince people
how bad he was?

431
00:19:14,910 --> 00:19:16,990
It doesn't matter if you loved Obama.

432
00:19:17,070 --> 00:19:20,070
There were a lot of people who
hated him and did everything they

433
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:21,630
could to convince you how evil.

434
00:19:21,630 --> 00:19:23,390
It doesn't matter how much you
love Trump.

435
00:19:23,470 --> 00:19:26,470
There's a whole group of
people that create every piece of

436
00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:28,190
content to convince you he's evil.

437
00:19:28,430 --> 00:19:32,350
So when you see the
propaganda, it's much more a result

438
00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:36,590
of the weight of the office
than it is the actions of the individual.

439
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:40,490
Because you get to realms of
influence where you are going to

440
00:19:40,490 --> 00:19:44,490
have an audience that wants to
talk about you at any given moment.

441
00:19:44,490 --> 00:19:45,530
Does this make sense?

442
00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:48,850
There's people who get more
views talking about me than talking

443
00:19:48,850 --> 00:19:51,050
about the Bible, So what do
you think they talk about?

444
00:19:52,970 --> 00:19:54,810
But this is true of all my friends.

445
00:19:55,450 --> 00:19:57,210
This is true of all of my peers.

446
00:19:57,610 --> 00:20:00,650
It's more of a mark of
influence than anything else.

447
00:20:00,650 --> 00:20:01,850
Why do I say this?

448
00:20:02,570 --> 00:20:03,450
Stay with me.

449
00:20:04,180 --> 00:20:08,820
Because what Jesus was doing
in Matthew 21 is Jesus was saying,

450
00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:12,100
I'm not just going to tell
everybody what's wrong.

451
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:16,060
I'm going to stay in the
temple and I'm going to heal the

452
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:19,380
blind and I'm going to heal
the lame, and I'm going to demonstrate

453
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:20,980
the right way to do it.

454
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:23,100
I want to say this on the Internet.

455
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:26,580
I want to say this to the
hundreds of thousands of people who

456
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:27,620
watch these sermons.

457
00:20:27,940 --> 00:20:32,170
The problem I have with the
cancel culture, with the call out

458
00:20:32,170 --> 00:20:35,410
culture, with the discernment
community, and all these people

459
00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:36,170
who think

460
00:20:38,490 --> 00:20:42,690
that they're helping the body
of Christ is not one of them have

461
00:20:42,690 --> 00:20:45,290
posted a video demonstrating
the right way to do it.

462
00:20:46,730 --> 00:20:47,690
That's the problem.

463
00:20:48,810 --> 00:20:50,330
Show me your church.

464
00:20:50,570 --> 00:20:51,850
Oh, you don't have one.

465
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:56,490
Show me, when you pray for
people, what's the right way?

466
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Oh, you don't pray for people.

467
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,720
Show me how you cast out demons.

468
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,320
Oh, you don't cast out demons.

469
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:02,840
See?

470
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,640
Oh, come on.

471
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,680
They can educate, but they
can't demonstrate, which means you

472
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,520
shouldn't let them educate, right?

473
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,280
If you educate but you don't
demonstrate, then I don't want you

474
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,280
to educate me.

475
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,320
I'm not going to learn how to
fire a gun from a blind man.

476
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,400
You get what I'm trying to say?

477
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Y' all picking up on what I'm
putting down?

478
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,120
I don't want to learn how to
fight by somebody who's gotten beat

479
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:24,320
up

480
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,315
every day of their life.

481
00:21:25,315 --> 00:21:25,430
I.

482
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:26,540
But here's the thing.

483
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:30,140
I might be demonstrating, but
I'd rather cast a demon out the wrong

484
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:33,740
way and get judged because I
needed to learn something than get

485
00:21:33,740 --> 00:21:35,020
judged for laziness.

486
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:38,420
Because the only thing I
haven't been, oh, I've been a sinner,

487
00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:40,020
but I never been lazy.

488
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:41,980
And there's some people who'd
rather talk.

489
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:43,900
But he's coming back for workers.

490
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:46,380
So he.

491
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:49,140
So what I love about the
ministry of Jesus, because everybody

492
00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:52,960
loves to preach, is, oh, he
flipped over the tables, but he stayed

493
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,000
in the temple to demonstrate
the right way to do it.

494
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,160
And there's people flipping
tables that don't stay in the church.

495
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480
And that's how I know your
motive is.

496
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,880
You want to be known as the
table flipper, not the person who

497
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,360
prays for the blind person.

498
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,120
Your motive is exposed by what
you stay for or what you leave for

499
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:16,480
you.

500
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,840
Is this helping anybody?

501
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,640
Because nobody talks about this.

502
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,640
Jesus didn't flip the tables
and say, let's go to lunch.

503
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,640
I hope that YouTube video goes viral.

504
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,520
Jesus flipped the tables, cast
out the unrepentant people, and then

505
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,440
he stayed there

506
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,040
and said, now let me show you

507
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
what this temple was supposed
to be for the whole time.

508
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,000
You know what I did when I saw
all the injustice in the local church?

509
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,350
You know what I did when I had
multiple pastors with infidelities?

510
00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:51,150
Do you know what I did when I
saw the prophetic community and they

511
00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:54,030
were given false prophetic
words and they were building their

512
00:22:54,030 --> 00:22:54,790
own empires?

513
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:55,910
Do you know what I did?

514
00:22:56,790 --> 00:22:58,070
I built a church.

515
00:22:58,790 --> 00:23:00,630
I built a school of the prophets.

516
00:23:00,950 --> 00:23:02,710
I built V1 College.

517
00:23:03,030 --> 00:23:08,150
Listen, I'm not saying this to
glorify myself, but I don't believe

518
00:23:08,150 --> 00:23:10,630
somebody who has a critique
without a solution.

519
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,720
I don't believe somebody who
has a critique without compassion.

520
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,440
Are y' all with me?

521
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,920
Paul didn't say, hey, y' all
are prophesying wrong.

522
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Stop prophesying.

523
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,440
You know what Paul said?

524
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,720
Here's how you do it.

525
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,560
He brought instruction.

526
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,520
He brought training.

527
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,920
So the reason why this temple
cleansing is so important is because

528
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,880
the same compassion of Christ
when he cast people out of the temple

529
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,800
is the same compassion when he
lays hands on people and prays for

530
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,760
them and the world.

531
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,180
A fatherless generation
doesn't know that your dad loves

532
00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:45,660
you when he whoops you, and he
loves you when he hugs you.

533
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:49,020
And you need both of them, right?

534
00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:51,460
But there's some people
online, they're not whooping they're

535
00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:54,700
beating, and there's no
compassion in it.

536
00:23:55,340 --> 00:23:57,180
So this is important for this hour.

537
00:23:57,340 --> 00:23:59,060
People say reform the church.

538
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:00,460
You know how you reform it?

539
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:05,260
By participating in it,
submitting to it, serving it.

540
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:07,180
You want to change my wife.

541
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:09,590
I'm married to Julie.

542
00:24:10,150 --> 00:24:11,590
I have to wake up with her.

543
00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:12,950
I have to journey with her.

544
00:24:13,270 --> 00:24:16,070
And I think the thing that
breaks my heart about this generation

545
00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:19,670
is you got a whole bunch of
people having conversations about

546
00:24:19,670 --> 00:24:20,390
what's wrong.

547
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:22,550
But it's like.

548
00:24:22,550 --> 00:24:25,670
It's like people who only
understand dating and not marriage.

549
00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:27,190
Dating is.

550
00:24:27,510 --> 00:24:29,790
I can tell you everything
wrong with the single people of New

551
00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:31,270
York City, but marriage is.

552
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:31,550
Man.

553
00:24:31,550 --> 00:24:34,630
If there's something wrong
with me, I have to stay in this relationship

554
00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:37,550
to work on it, and I have to
work with Julie, and Julie works

555
00:24:37,550 --> 00:24:37,910
with me.

556
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:40,670
The body of Christ is not bumble.

557
00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:43,830
The body of Christ is not a
dating app where you swipe on the

558
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:44,510
next church.

559
00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:45,790
Come on, somebody.

560
00:24:45,950 --> 00:24:46,870
The body of Christ.

561
00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:49,830
And what Jesus was
demonstrating is, I am covenanted

562
00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:50,430
to the church.

563
00:24:50,510 --> 00:24:51,150
I'm gonna.

564
00:24:51,630 --> 00:24:55,670
Yes, I see what's wrong, but I
earn the right to give my opinion

565
00:24:55,670 --> 00:24:59,550
and flip these tables because
I'm gonna lay my life down for it.

566
00:25:01,310 --> 00:25:01,870
It's like.

567
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:05,270
And I think when I look at
this passage, it grieves me so deeply

568
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:07,360
because this world doesn't under.

569
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Only a generation that doesn't
understand covenant would give critiques

570
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,320
without compassion because
they don't know.

571
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:14,880
It's like.

572
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560
As a matter of fact, V1 is not
a perfect church.

573
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,800
But when people come together
in covenant all around the world,

574
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,760
what happens, like a marriage
is we earn the right to transmit

575
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,080
information.

576
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,960
We earn the right in love to talk.

577
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,160
And guess what?

578
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,200
You rebuke Peter, he becomes
an apostle.

579
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,000
You rebuke Judas, and he kills himself.

580
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,320
See, it's not about the rebuke.

581
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,320
It's about the person it lands on.

582
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,560
Did you all just hear me?

583
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,760
I've rebuked some people in
this church, and they've turned into

584
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,800
campus pastors.

585
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,320
I've rebuked other people in
this church, and they became my biggest

586
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,040
critics online.

587
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,200
It's not about the rebuke.

588
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:56,640
It's about the soil.

589
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,080
It's not about the seed.

590
00:25:58,430 --> 00:25:59,470
It's about the soil.

591
00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:00,350
Y' all hear me?

592
00:26:00,910 --> 00:26:04,670
And it's like, if you have the
soil of humility, the Lord will rebuke

593
00:26:04,670 --> 00:26:06,750
you, and Peter will become an apostle.

594
00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:10,790
But if you have the soil of
pride, Judas gets rebuked, and he.

595
00:26:10,790 --> 00:26:14,990
He literally sets Jesus up to
die and then kills himself.

596
00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:18,230
And so, in this life, how many
of you want to be humble?

597
00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:19,710
How many of you want to be submitted?

598
00:26:20,110 --> 00:26:22,590
How many of you said, man, I
want to be covenanted?

599
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:27,960
They don't talk about their
imam the way we talk about our pastors.

600
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,320
They don't talk about the
people in there.

601
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,920
It's like we can't have it.

602
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:37,600
Where a Jewish synagogue and
Islamic temple are more unified than

603
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,520
the local church.

604
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,360
And Gen Z is looking for a church.

605
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,160
Not a perfect one, but a
united church, just like my wife

606
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,840
and I. Julie knows all my faults.

607
00:26:49,730 --> 00:26:52,810
And Julie, I know this is
probably news to you, but I know

608
00:26:52,810 --> 00:26:53,490
all yours.

609
00:26:56,290 --> 00:27:01,130
So I can't present to my
children a perfect marriage, but

610
00:27:01,130 --> 00:27:05,649
I can show my children what it
looks like for two imperfect people

611
00:27:05,730 --> 00:27:09,570
to go on a journey with Jesus,
to become a clear reflection of him.

612
00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:12,370
And this is what I'm saying
about the church.

613
00:27:12,370 --> 00:27:15,090
So when we go into Times
Square, we're not.

614
00:27:15,090 --> 00:27:17,930
We're not showing up there
saying, oh, V1's here.

615
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:18,930
Cause we're the best church.

616
00:27:18,930 --> 00:27:21,220
We're not because we're a
perfect church.

617
00:27:21,220 --> 00:27:24,100
We're not, but we're
covenanted to each other.

618
00:27:24,420 --> 00:27:26,100
We're working this thing out.

619
00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:29,780
The manifold wisdom of God is
evident in our conversations.

620
00:27:30,020 --> 00:27:31,540
It's dripping with grace.

621
00:27:31,540 --> 00:27:34,300
And I think when people talk
about Jesus flipping the tables,

622
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:35,220
they miss the grace.

623
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:37,220
He could have destroyed the
whole temple.

624
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:38,180
He didn't destroy.

625
00:27:38,180 --> 00:27:39,380
He reformed it.

626
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:42,940
Then he stuck around long
enough to demonstrate the right way

627
00:27:42,940 --> 00:27:43,540
to do it.

628
00:27:45,060 --> 00:27:48,020
So if you think you're going
to silently protest by leaving a

629
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:50,860
church, you didn't prove
anything other than your motive was

630
00:27:50,860 --> 00:27:52,720
to be served instead of serve.

631
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,600
Because Jesus showed up long
enough to say, I want to show them

632
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,840
the way through humility.

633
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,640
How many of you believe that
line, let the greatest among us be

634
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,840
the servant.

635
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,440
The greatest servant.

636
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,320
I gotta get to this last part
as we close, because it's all connected.

637
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:16,640
So go down to verse 17.

638
00:28:17,770 --> 00:28:21,730
And he left them and he went
out of the city into Bethany, and

639
00:28:21,730 --> 00:28:22,650
he lodged there.

640
00:28:22,890 --> 00:28:26,650
Now, in the morning, as he
returned to the city, he hungered.

641
00:28:27,050 --> 00:28:27,450
Why?

642
00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:30,330
Why do we know in Scripture
that Jesus hungered?

643
00:28:30,330 --> 00:28:31,370
It's very simple.

644
00:28:31,530 --> 00:28:33,129
It was just He's a human.

645
00:28:33,770 --> 00:28:35,570
That that was the point of his humanity.

646
00:28:35,570 --> 00:28:37,930
He's fully God and he's fully man.

647
00:28:37,930 --> 00:28:39,930
So he hungered, just like we hunger.

648
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:44,640
And when he saw a fig tree in
the way, he came to it and found

649
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,880
nothing thereon but leaves
only, and said unto it, let no fruit

650
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,000
grow hence from this.

651
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,000
This fig tree forever.

652
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,920
And presently the fig tree
withered away.

653
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,640
So immediately it began to wither.

654
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,040
And his disciples saw it and
they marveled, saying, wow, how soon

655
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,560
is this fig tree withered?

656
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280
And Jesus answered them and
said, verily I say unto you, if you

657
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,170
have faith and doubt not,
you'll, you should not only do what

658
00:29:13,170 --> 00:29:16,810
has been done to the fig tree,
but you'll also sing into the mountain

659
00:29:16,810 --> 00:29:20,490
be thou removed and thou cast
into the sea, and it shall be done.

660
00:29:20,730 --> 00:29:24,090
And all these things, whatever
you shall ask in prayer, believing

661
00:29:24,409 --> 00:29:25,690
you shall receive.

662
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:29,690
Now let's talk about the fig
tree because this is so important.

663
00:29:30,730 --> 00:29:35,370
Jesus was demonstrating the
power of the, of basically, basically

664
00:29:37,050 --> 00:29:39,370
the his words in this situation.

665
00:29:39,930 --> 00:29:41,450
Let me just break it down for you.

666
00:29:41,450 --> 00:29:45,770
So Jesus is hungry and he's
like, I'm gonna go pick a fig off

667
00:29:45,770 --> 00:29:46,810
of the fig tree.

668
00:29:47,130 --> 00:29:50,890
But the fig tree has leaves,
but it has no figs.

669
00:29:51,530 --> 00:29:56,330
And anger Jesus speaks to this
fig tree and he curses it and says,

670
00:29:56,570 --> 00:29:58,490
may you never bear fruit.

671
00:29:58,810 --> 00:30:01,000
And then it immediately begins
to wither.

672
00:30:01,310 --> 00:30:05,150
And it's a supernatural sign
because his disciples, they actually

673
00:30:05,150 --> 00:30:09,310
verbally say out loud, can you
believe that that tree already withered?

674
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:10,670
And he just spoke it.

675
00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:12,590
But it was a prophetic sign.

676
00:30:12,990 --> 00:30:14,830
Let's talk about the fig tree.

677
00:30:14,910 --> 00:30:19,230
Because I believe that we are
in the season of the fig tree.

678
00:30:19,230 --> 00:30:19,710
Hear me.

679
00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:20,990
This is so prophetic.

680
00:30:21,230 --> 00:30:23,470
But remember I said Matthew 21.

681
00:30:23,790 --> 00:30:27,030
It's a parallel for what's
going to happen in the days when

682
00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:28,030
the king comes back.

683
00:30:28,510 --> 00:30:31,870
It's, it's going to be the
same and there's, we have to understand

684
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:33,790
the revelation of the fig tree.

685
00:30:34,030 --> 00:30:37,990
So for those of you who don't
know anybody remember fig Newtons?

686
00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:40,190
Whatever happened to those you
remember Fig Newtons?

687
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:44,110
I was trying to think, how do
I explain to modern people figs?

688
00:30:44,110 --> 00:30:46,870
So fig trees, it's delicious.

689
00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:48,030
Figs are delicious.

690
00:30:48,430 --> 00:30:51,790
But here's the thing you may
not know about figs.

691
00:30:52,590 --> 00:30:56,070
Figs hold their father fruit
in every season.

692
00:30:57,190 --> 00:31:01,430
Figs, they bear fruit, but the
fruit does not fall off of their

693
00:31:01,430 --> 00:31:01,990
branches.

694
00:31:02,310 --> 00:31:06,630
Which means even when they're
not in a fruit bearing season, they

695
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:10,670
will still have fruit on their
limbs because they don't lose the

696
00:31:10,670 --> 00:31:11,990
fruit off of their limbs.

697
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:14,790
So for G, I'm about to preach this.

698
00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:19,550
So when Jesus walks up to the
fig tree and sees that it has leaves

699
00:31:19,550 --> 00:31:24,300
but no figs, it is a sign that
it never bore fruit.

700
00:31:24,780 --> 00:31:28,580
And see, some of you are
blaming a season for why you didn't

701
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:29,340
bear fruit.

702
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:31,340
But the thing is, a fig tree

703
00:31:31,340 --> 00:31:34,300
that bears fruit retains its
fruit even

704
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:35,500
in a bad season.

705
00:31:35,740 --> 00:31:36,259
Come on.

706
00:31:36,259 --> 00:31:37,980
I'M trying to talk to somebody
right now.

707
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:42,020
So there's Christians who will
say, well, you know, I want to be

708
00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:45,420
generous, but I'm going
through a hard time financially.

709
00:31:45,910 --> 00:31:50,830
No, If I'm a fig tree that
bears fruit, I give seed out of my

710
00:31:50,830 --> 00:31:51,110
need.

711
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:55,350
If I waited to have enough
money, I would never give because

712
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:59,190
I've never had enough money,
but because I know how to bear fruit.

713
00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:59,750
See?

714
00:31:59,910 --> 00:32:02,230
Listen, Julie, do you remember
that time

715
00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:04,150
I put my check in the offering

716
00:32:04,150 --> 00:32:05,910
when we were executive pastors?

717
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:08,510
I put my check in the offering

718
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:13,780
as a sacrifice to God because
I was only making $330 a week.

719
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:15,740
My wife's shouting the number
at me.

720
00:32:15,740 --> 00:32:16,660
She probably knows.

721
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:21,460
And, and, and I said, God, if
it can't meet my need, it becomes

722
00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:22,260
my seed.

723
00:32:22,420 --> 00:32:24,580
And with a family of four, I

724
00:32:24,580 --> 00:32:26,420
put my whole check in the offering

725
00:32:26,420 --> 00:32:29,220
and said, I'm getting ready to
go to New York to launch a church

726
00:32:29,220 --> 00:32:31,780
and I'm going to lead my
church in generosity.

727
00:32:31,860 --> 00:32:34,420
And I don't give because I
have enough money.

728
00:32:34,580 --> 00:32:36,820
I have enough money because I give.

729
00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:38,070
Now watch this.

730
00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:39,830
I kid you not.

731
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:41,830
Dropped it in the offering.

732
00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:45,510
That day, the end of service comes.

733
00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:46,950
I'm backstage.

734
00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:50,470
A woman breaks through the
backstage, comes up to me holding

735
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:53,430
a check in her hand and said,
I cannot shake this.

736
00:32:53,510 --> 00:32:56,550
The whole service, the Holy
Spirit kept speaking a number.

737
00:32:56,710 --> 00:32:58,870
And I just had to write this
number down.

738
00:32:58,870 --> 00:33:01,830
And she's, I don't know if
this means anything to you, but the

739
00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:04,410
Lord said, write down Mike
Signorelli a check for this number.

740
00:33:04,570 --> 00:33:07,250
She wrote the check in the
same amount.

741
00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:08,490
You can't make this up.

742
00:33:08,730 --> 00:33:10,010
Am I right, Julie?

743
00:33:10,570 --> 00:33:11,130
Huh?

744
00:33:11,930 --> 00:33:13,930
To the dollar, my wife is saying.

745
00:33:14,170 --> 00:33:16,090
And she handed me that check.

746
00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:16,850
Literally.

747
00:33:16,850 --> 00:33:19,010
It just did a circulation from my

748
00:33:19,010 --> 00:33:21,650
wallet into heaven and got
credited back

749
00:33:21,650 --> 00:33:23,290
to me within an hour and a half.

750
00:33:23,530 --> 00:33:28,180
Now, listen, I was bearing
fruit as a fig tree out of state

751
00:33:28,490 --> 00:33:28,730
season.

752
00:33:28,970 --> 00:33:32,410
I was broke, but that didn't
stop me from being generous.

753
00:33:32,650 --> 00:33:37,010
So when Jesus walks up to a
barren tree, he says, you have leaves,

754
00:33:37,010 --> 00:33:38,370
but you don't have fruit.

755
00:33:38,370 --> 00:33:42,250
And there's Christians that
during the worship set have leaves

756
00:33:42,330 --> 00:33:45,450
that are blowing in the wind,
but they ain't got no fruit.

757
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:48,690
They know how to sing because
it makes them feel good, but they

758
00:33:48,690 --> 00:33:51,130
don't give because it doesn't
make them feel good.

759
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:51,850
God.

760
00:33:51,850 --> 00:33:55,060
God knows the difference
between leave leaves and fruit.

761
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:56,260
Oh, come on.

762
00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:56,980
Somebody.

763
00:33:57,220 --> 00:34:01,060
There's somebody getting up to
preach because they have a fragile

764
00:34:01,060 --> 00:34:01,540
ego.

765
00:34:01,860 --> 00:34:04,820
And they want to preach
because they want to feel like they

766
00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:08,860
have a sense of importance and
I'm preaching and they're preaching.

767
00:34:08,860 --> 00:34:12,460
But God knows the difference
between leaves and fruit.

768
00:34:12,460 --> 00:34:16,140
He knows who's doing it on
assignment and he knows who's doing

769
00:34:16,140 --> 00:34:17,140
it for attention.

770
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:19,780
And see, come on, I'm talking
to somebody.

771
00:34:19,780 --> 00:34:23,660
Not every inch influencer on
Instagram is doing it because they're

772
00:34:23,660 --> 00:34:26,980
in the prayer closet and
they're praying for the people that

773
00:34:26,980 --> 00:34:27,580
follow them.

774
00:34:27,580 --> 00:34:30,900
There's some people that don't
do ministry for the outcome.

775
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:34,700
They do it for the income and
they got leaves, but they don't have

776
00:34:34,700 --> 00:34:35,140
fruit.

777
00:34:35,220 --> 00:34:37,700
And I believe up talking to some.

778
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:42,420
I believe we're coming into a
fig tree season where Jesus Christ

779
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:46,830
is about to curse a fig tree
and say, I gave you many seasons,

780
00:34:46,830 --> 00:34:48,510
so stop being selfish.

781
00:34:48,590 --> 00:34:51,470
I gave you many seasons to get
your motive right.

782
00:34:51,550 --> 00:34:55,310
I give you many seasons to
humble yourself, but you've never

783
00:34:55,310 --> 00:34:57,230
bore fruit in any season.

784
00:34:57,470 --> 00:34:59,550
And the Lord is going to speak
to him.

785
00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:02,990
That's why I don't have to
make the YouTube video, because my

786
00:35:02,990 --> 00:35:06,870
YouTube video can't do what
the words of Jesus Christ are about

787
00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:08,350
to do to the fig tree.

788
00:35:08,430 --> 00:35:09,070
Come on.

789
00:35:10,270 --> 00:35:15,640
I don't have to cancel counsel
you because heaven is just and Jesus

790
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,160
will speak to the tree.

791
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,040
Ah, come on.

792
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,280
Yeah.

793
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Stay on your feet so I close.

794
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,320
Just stay on your feet so I
can close.

795
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,720
Let me talk to the single people.

796
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:28,920
Single people.

797
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:30,520
Single people.

798
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:32,360
Single people.

799
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,120
Don't be so impressed by his
leaves that you ignore the lack of

800
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,360
fruit.

801
00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:37,830
Fruit.

802
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:42,710
Because if he would have bore
fruit, even if it was a bad season,

803
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:46,550
remember, fig trees don't drop
their fruit in between seasons.

804
00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:49,270
He would still have fruit from
previous seasons.

805
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:52,150
Fruit is not actions.

806
00:35:53,269 --> 00:35:56,950
One person preaches, the other
person preaches, the action is the

807
00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:57,270
same.

808
00:35:57,990 --> 00:36:01,750
So what happens with fruit is
that you can't judge by the action.

809
00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:05,410
That's why Jesus will say on
judgment Day, depart from me for

810
00:36:05,410 --> 00:36:06,250
I never knew you.

811
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:08,810
And they're gonna say, but I
did the same action.

812
00:36:09,050 --> 00:36:10,570
I preached like they preach.

813
00:36:10,570 --> 00:36:11,770
I cast out demons.

814
00:36:11,850 --> 00:36:12,970
And Jesus said no.

815
00:36:13,050 --> 00:36:14,490
I looked at the motive.

816
00:36:14,730 --> 00:36:19,810
Fruit is what comes out of you
through faithfulness with a pure

817
00:36:19,810 --> 00:36:20,330
motive.

818
00:36:21,770 --> 00:36:24,010
How many of you know that
God's looking at the motive?

819
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:29,690
Do we want to be wealthy
because we want to be generous?

820
00:36:30,770 --> 00:36:34,930
Or do we want wealth to
satiate our fear of finances?

821
00:36:35,730 --> 00:36:38,690
So one person works to make as
much money as they can.

822
00:36:38,850 --> 00:36:42,530
And it's not to build God's
house, it's not to build the kingdom,

823
00:36:42,530 --> 00:36:43,850
it's not to be generous.

824
00:36:43,850 --> 00:36:45,809
It's because of a fear of finances.

825
00:36:45,809 --> 00:36:47,730
But then the other person
Builds wealth.

826
00:36:47,810 --> 00:36:50,730
But then they're building
kingdom infrastructures and they're

827
00:36:50,730 --> 00:36:53,650
influencing the kingdom and
they're sowing and investing.

828
00:36:53,650 --> 00:36:56,450
And the Lord looks at both of
them and says, your bank account

829
00:36:56,450 --> 00:36:59,270
was the the same, but your
motives were different.

830
00:36:59,590 --> 00:37:03,350
And one of you is a fig tree
that's gonna be cursed, and the other

831
00:37:03,350 --> 00:37:05,350
fig tree is bearing fruit.

832
00:37:05,350 --> 00:37:06,230
The motive?

833
00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:08,470
God is looking at the heart.

834
00:37:10,310 --> 00:37:11,990
God is looking at the heart.

835
00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:19,110
This is why this message, as
we prepare as a church to go into

836
00:37:19,350 --> 00:37:25,330
Hosanna Day, the crowd is
literally saying, deliver us now.

837
00:37:25,650 --> 00:37:26,690
Deliver us now.

838
00:37:27,090 --> 00:37:29,730
And then within days, they're
going to say, crucify him.

839
00:37:30,610 --> 00:37:31,010
Why?

840
00:37:31,570 --> 00:37:35,090
Because the motive was always,
what can this man do for me?

841
00:37:36,290 --> 00:37:40,090
And as soon as they realized
that Jesus went to the cross and

842
00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:43,570
they didn't have a revelation
of that sacrifice, and they felt

843
00:37:43,570 --> 00:37:46,130
like it wasn't a good deal for
them, they were out.

844
00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:47,730
Because they weren't covenant people.

845
00:37:47,730 --> 00:37:48,850
They were commitment people.

846
00:37:49,230 --> 00:37:52,510
And commitment people leave
when it doesn't benefit them.

847
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:56,510
But covenant people cleave
when it doesn't benefit them.

848
00:37:56,590 --> 00:37:58,910
Because they know seasons change.

849
00:37:58,990 --> 00:38:00,910
If I go through this death with

850
00:38:00,910 --> 00:38:02,790
Jesus, guess what, baby?

851
00:38:02,790 --> 00:38:05,229
I go through the resurrection
with him too.

852
00:38:05,390 --> 00:38:08,030
There cannot be no
resurrection without a death.

853
00:38:08,270 --> 00:38:08,910
See, we.

854
00:38:08,910 --> 00:38:09,830
We don't leave.

855
00:38:09,830 --> 00:38:11,950
We cleave because we're
covenant people.

856
00:38:12,030 --> 00:38:14,770
The way you change New York
City is you don't leave.

857
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:15,640
You cleave.

858
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Come on, Ivan.

859
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,280
Come on, Brooklyn, come on,
Manhattan, come on, Long Island.

860
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:20,920
You cleave.

861
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,760
The way you change Miami is
you don't leave, you cleave to Miami.

862
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,360
And you say, I'm gonna go
through the death so I can experience

863
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,800
the resurrection.

864
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,040
So I want to leave you with
hope because we're about to pray,

865
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,440
and then we're gonna spend a
few moments in worship.

866
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:45,170
This fig tree, Such a revelation.

867
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:46,450
I want to pray.

868
00:38:51,650 --> 00:38:54,610
Somebody say, I'm not blaming
my season.

869
00:38:56,530 --> 00:38:57,810
Come on, say it boldly.

870
00:38:57,810 --> 00:38:59,410
I'm not blaming my season.

871
00:39:01,410 --> 00:39:02,050
Come on.

872
00:39:02,130 --> 00:39:03,250
Right there in the front row.

873
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:06,370
I got my wife that I got my
mom, shout me down with hanky.

874
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,120
But I'll never forget my mother.

875
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,800
Single mom, five kids.

876
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,400
She gave her last $20 in the
offering, and then all of a sudden,

877
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,680
a couple weeks later, she went
to the thrift store, picked out a

878
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,000
nice $5 purse.

879
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,200
You know, those thrift store
purses sometimes can be the bomb,

880
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,000
you know what I'm saying?

881
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:28,440
Gets home, opens it up,
there's a hundred dollars inside.

882
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,480
That's a five fold return on
that offering.

883
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,940
I could take, tell you story
after story, but if you don't have

884
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:39,100
a story of God opening up the
windows of heaven and blessing you

885
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:41,020
to the point where you can't
contain it.

886
00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:46,780
It's because you blamed your
season on why you didn't bear fruit.

887
00:39:47,580 --> 00:39:52,540
See, this is the thing God
wants to free you in your identity.

888
00:39:52,780 --> 00:39:56,940
To say, God, I made up my mind
now that no matter what, I'm going

889
00:39:56,940 --> 00:39:59,220
to walk this thing out, no
matter what.

890
00:39:59,220 --> 00:40:02,420
Just like Jesus, I'm
journeying through Jerusalem, I'm

891
00:40:02,420 --> 00:40:03,460
journeying through death.

892
00:40:03,620 --> 00:40:05,300
I'm say, I don't know why.

893
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:08,580
When I was preparing this
sermon, I felt such a conviction

894
00:40:08,580 --> 00:40:12,580
for the single people of V1
Church to say, stop looking at their

895
00:40:12,580 --> 00:40:14,660
leaves and start looking at
their fruit.

896
00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:20,420
Don't compromise with a fig
tree that's got nice leaves but no

897
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:20,860
fruit.

898
00:40:20,860 --> 00:40:22,500
Come on, I'm talking to somebody.

899
00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:24,990
Come on, compromise.

900
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:26,430
Look at the fruit.

901
00:40:26,910 --> 00:40:31,430
But then at the same time,
sometimes when you don't know to

902
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:32,310
discern something.

903
00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:33,150
Is this real?

904
00:40:33,390 --> 00:40:34,270
Is this right?

905
00:40:34,350 --> 00:40:38,230
Look at the fruit, look at the
fruit, look at the fruit.

906
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:39,150
What does that mean?

907
00:40:39,390 --> 00:40:44,110
Observe the thing that is
produced from a motive over time.

908
00:40:44,750 --> 00:40:45,870
It's undeniable.

909
00:40:46,190 --> 00:40:47,310
It's undeniable.

910
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:49,880
I want to do something.

911
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,120
Across all of our campuses
right now as we close out, I want

912
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,840
you, if you accepted Jesus
Christ to be your savior, specifically

913
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,520
at V1 Church, would you just
lift your hand for a second?

914
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,040
Wow.

915
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,400
Across all the locations, man,
that moves me.

916
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,720
You could put your hands down.

917
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,000
I don't know about you, but
here in New York, that was almost.

918
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,900
What percentage would you say?

919
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:17,530
Stuff.

920
00:41:18,970 --> 00:41:25,090
Yeah, it's like, like half or
more of everybody here said I accepted

921
00:41:25,090 --> 00:41:27,610
Jesus Christ as my Savior at
V1 Church.

922
00:41:27,850 --> 00:41:31,370
So you are the fruit of my motive.

923
00:41:32,890 --> 00:41:34,130
That's, that's what it's.

924
00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:34,570
I can't.

925
00:41:34,570 --> 00:41:37,530
I came saying I want to devote
my life.

926
00:41:37,850 --> 00:41:40,210
I have one mission, I have one.

927
00:41:40,210 --> 00:41:42,330
Cause I don't care what the cost.

928
00:41:42,820 --> 00:41:44,900
I'm telling you, through broke
down cars,

929
00:41:44,980 --> 00:41:48,500
through all the, the
apartments, through all the madness,

930
00:41:48,740 --> 00:41:49,900
it was one motive.

931
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:53,540
And so when I look out and on
my worst day, I'll remember that

932
00:41:53,540 --> 00:41:58,740
moment where I looked and you
said, mike, I'm going to heaven because

933
00:41:58,740 --> 00:42:01,540
I connected my yes to your yes.

934
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:06,140
And I can only imagine the
hands in matter of fact, Indiana,

935
00:42:06,140 --> 00:42:07,260
Miami, Brooklyn.

936
00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:08,900
If you're watching online, let
me know.

937
00:42:09,210 --> 00:42:10,170
If you're watching online.

938
00:42:10,650 --> 00:42:14,210
I had a woman that went to the
Greece tour with me and she goes,

939
00:42:14,210 --> 00:42:16,090
you know, I said, well, how'd
you find the Lord?

940
00:42:16,090 --> 00:42:17,370
How'd you find our church?

941
00:42:17,450 --> 00:42:21,210
And she said, you know, I was
up late one last night, one night,

942
00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:24,570
and you were on your YouTube
channel talking about the, the orbs

943
00:42:24,570 --> 00:42:28,010
and all of the, you know,
remember when all that stuff was

944
00:42:28,010 --> 00:42:28,570
going on?

945
00:42:29,290 --> 00:42:29,930
What's that?

946
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:33,330
Yeah, the drones and the orbs
and all that stuff.

947
00:42:33,330 --> 00:42:35,530
And she said, I, I was
wondering about that.

948
00:42:35,530 --> 00:42:38,540
She said you had 25,000
thousand people on your live stream,

949
00:42:38,540 --> 00:42:41,340
and then all of a sudden you
just started preaching the gospel

950
00:42:41,420 --> 00:42:43,580
and you switched the subject
to Jesus.

951
00:42:43,580 --> 00:42:46,660
And she said, I just started
bawling my eyes out and I surrendered

952
00:42:46,660 --> 00:42:47,100
my life.

953
00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:49,300
And ever since then, I've been
connected to V1.

954
00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:50,380
I've been connected to you.

955
00:42:50,620 --> 00:42:54,140
So God has been using these
things in mysterious ways.

956
00:42:55,260 --> 00:42:58,460
And so right now, you might be
watching online right now, just clicking

957
00:42:58,460 --> 00:42:59,820
through, saying, what is this
going on?

958
00:42:59,820 --> 00:43:00,700
What am I watching?

959
00:43:00,780 --> 00:43:04,620
I believe that heaven has
disrupted your life right now.

960
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:08,270
And I believe that you need to
hear the words, that Jesus loves

961
00:43:08,270 --> 00:43:13,030
you, that he was who he said
he was, that he's alive right now,

962
00:43:13,110 --> 00:43:15,190
and he's using me to send
these words

963
00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:17,430
to you, that you and your household

964
00:43:17,430 --> 00:43:20,870
will be saved if you surrender
right now.

965
00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:25,190
So here in this room, across
every campus, on the count of three,

966
00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:27,550
if you're like, I want to
journey with Jesus, I want to give

967
00:43:27,550 --> 00:43:28,390
my life to Christ.

968
00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:31,110
I want you to just lift your
hands and we're going to pray all

969
00:43:31,110 --> 00:43:31,430
together.

970
00:43:31,890 --> 00:43:34,330
And then we're going to
prepare our hearts, we're going to

971
00:43:34,330 --> 00:43:39,090
prepare our mind for the days
to come, for the things ahead.

972
00:43:39,330 --> 00:43:40,210
And I want to.

973
00:43:40,290 --> 00:43:44,130
Just look at me real quick
before we do this.

974
00:43:45,730 --> 00:43:50,250
I know that this church is a
different church, and I know sometimes

975
00:43:50,250 --> 00:43:51,090
you probably wish.

976
00:43:51,090 --> 00:43:52,690
I wish we could be more chill.

977
00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:53,690
Maybe not.

978
00:43:53,690 --> 00:43:56,450
Maybe some of you are crazy
and you like how crazy it is around

979
00:43:56,450 --> 00:43:57,410
here, but.

980
00:44:02,330 --> 00:44:06,010
All right, well, here's my
answer on Long Island.

981
00:44:06,650 --> 00:44:11,930
But the reason why I'm not
going to apologize is because I,

982
00:44:12,090 --> 00:44:16,170
I count you infinitely more
special than me.

983
00:44:16,730 --> 00:44:17,610
I'm the coach.

984
00:44:18,170 --> 00:44:20,330
I don't even look at it like
I'm in the game.

985
00:44:20,810 --> 00:44:22,610
I look at it as you're in the game.

986
00:44:22,610 --> 00:44:23,450
And my job.

987
00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:26,220
You're Michael Jordan, I'm
Phil Jackson.

988
00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:31,940
My job is to equip you, to
train you, to rebuke you a little

989
00:44:31,940 --> 00:44:33,900
bit, to hug you, to encourage you.

990
00:44:34,220 --> 00:44:37,100
And it's a very hard job for
some of y', all, and you know that.

991
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:38,220
Can I get an amen?

992
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:40,860
You know, some of you need a
little extra.

993
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:42,540
But I, I.

994
00:44:42,540 --> 00:44:46,780
But the thing is, this
generation is a chosen generation.

995
00:44:47,260 --> 00:44:48,940
This generation is A unique.

996
00:44:48,940 --> 00:44:52,470
So I counted a very high
privilege to minister to you every

997
00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:54,950
week because of what's on your life.

998
00:44:55,590 --> 00:44:59,310
And most churches get this
wrong because it's all the crowd

999
00:44:59,310 --> 00:45:00,550
facing the pastor.

1000
00:45:00,870 --> 00:45:01,750
But this is.

1001
00:45:01,750 --> 00:45:04,710
You're only here to be
equipped and be deployed.

1002
00:45:05,110 --> 00:45:08,870
And this is why I think in the
days and the weeks and the months

1003
00:45:08,870 --> 00:45:12,270
to come, the vision that I
want to share with our church, just

1004
00:45:12,270 --> 00:45:15,370
30 seconds, is the priesthood
of all believers.

1005
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,160
So did you know that when all
the big news articles were written

1006
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,760
about the last time we were in
Times Square, did you know the main

1007
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,240
thing that they highlighted
when I went through and read all

1008
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:27,400
the.

1009
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,000
All the articles was not the
songs, was not the sermons.

1010
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,760
They highlighted the fact that
I told thousands of people to leave

1011
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,040
the event and go into the
streets of Manhattan and lead the

1012
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,440
lost and the prostitutes and all.

1013
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:47,840
And that one part to the
secular people said, wow, can you

1014
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,280
imagine a Christian event
where they told the crowd to go out

1015
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,240
and do ministry?

1016
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,520
And if you read the articles,
the thing that stood out the most

1017
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,720
in them was me getting up in
front of Times Square saying, now

1018
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:02,120
you go into the streets and do
the work.

1019
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,560
But who talked that way?

1020
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:04,920
Jesus.

1021
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,280
So the ministry of Jesus is so
rare in the earth that some of us

1022
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,260
spent years going to hear a
priest but never realize that you

1023
00:46:14,260 --> 00:46:16,020
are supposed to be the priest.

1024
00:46:16,980 --> 00:46:20,020
This is the priesthood of all believers.

1025
00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:24,580
And sometimes we get in the
posture so much of receiving that

1026
00:46:24,580 --> 00:46:29,260
we don't realize no is it
receiving or being equipped to go

1027
00:46:29,260 --> 00:46:29,780
do it.

1028
00:46:30,180 --> 00:46:35,780
So in the days, in the weeks,
in the months to come, I need you

1029
00:46:36,340 --> 00:46:38,780
to do the work of the ministry
with me.

1030
00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:40,140
Would you all do that?

1031
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:41,820
Would you join me with that?

1032
00:46:41,980 --> 00:46:43,340
Would you all commit to that?

1033
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:44,780
That's why we're going on tour.

1034
00:46:45,020 --> 00:46:46,620
That's why we're going to London.

1035
00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:48,460
That's why we just got back
from Gary.

1036
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:53,460
I matter of fact, I had a
pastor from Los Angeles who's right

1037
00:46:53,460 --> 00:46:56,860
on Hollywood Boulevard with a
brand new massive building.

1038
00:46:56,860 --> 00:46:57,900
They just flipped.

1039
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:01,740
He said, I heard that you want
to bring the breakers to Los Angeles

1040
00:47:01,900 --> 00:47:04,980
and I will give you my
building to use for the night for

1041
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:05,260
free.

1042
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,680
All the production, all of my team,

1043
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,360
if you'll come to Hollywood
Boulevard and

1044
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,880
set the captives free.

1045
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:13,000
But.

1046
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,560
But hear me when I say, come
on, we're stuck.

1047
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:16,920
Why am I doing this?

1048
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,480
Why am I leaving my wife and

1049
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,960
my children to go on this tour?

1050
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,760
Because I'm trying to wake up the

1051
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,280
body of Christ to say, now is
the time.

1052
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,880
You've been waiting your whole life.

1053
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:26,880
It's now.

1054
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:27,520
It's now.

1055
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,000
Don't be the fig tree that makes

1056
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,030
an excuse for why it doesn't
bear for fruit because of a bad season.

1057
00:47:34,510 --> 00:47:35,710
Do it anyways.

1058
00:47:36,990 --> 00:47:40,630
So on the count of three, if
you're willing, just lift your hands

1059
00:47:40,630 --> 00:47:41,110
with me.

1060
00:47:41,110 --> 00:47:42,910
One, two, three.

1061
00:47:43,310 --> 00:47:43,790
Come on.

1062
00:47:43,790 --> 00:47:45,230
All over, every location.

1063
00:47:45,550 --> 00:47:47,230
And I want us to say this together.

1064
00:47:47,310 --> 00:47:55,390
Say, heavenly Father, I don't
want to be that fig tree that doesn't

1065
00:47:55,390 --> 00:47:56,350
bear fruit.

1066
00:47:57,550 --> 00:47:58,180
I want you to.

1067
00:47:58,410 --> 00:48:01,370
To be a true believer.

1068
00:48:02,410 --> 00:48:09,610
I accept my assignment for the
priesthood of all believers.

1069
00:48:10,170 --> 00:48:11,450
I'll pray for people.

1070
00:48:12,250 --> 00:48:14,010
I'll evangelize to people.

1071
00:48:14,570 --> 00:48:16,250
I will cast out demons.

1072
00:48:16,890 --> 00:48:18,250
I will prophesy.

1073
00:48:18,970 --> 00:48:19,850
I will go.

1074
00:48:20,650 --> 00:48:22,250
I will fund the kingdom.

1075
00:48:22,970 --> 00:48:26,450
I will serve whatever you ask
of me.

1076
00:48:26,930 --> 00:48:28,690
I will bear fruit.

1077
00:48:29,250 --> 00:48:31,010
I will bear fruit.

1078
00:48:31,490 --> 00:48:32,770
Okay, now, I want to do this

1079
00:48:32,770 --> 00:48:35,610
right now because this is
identity we're now going to begin

1080
00:48:35,610 --> 00:48:36,010
to use.

1081
00:48:36,010 --> 00:48:37,610
Remember, he said, speak to
the mountain.

1082
00:48:37,610 --> 00:48:38,290
It'll move.

1083
00:48:38,370 --> 00:48:40,129
How many of you want to speak
to that mountain?

1084
00:48:40,129 --> 00:48:42,490
Now, Jesus said, just like I spoke

1085
00:48:42,490 --> 00:48:45,090
to the fig tree, you can speak
to the mountain.

1086
00:48:45,090 --> 00:48:45,690
So we're gonna.

1087
00:48:45,690 --> 00:48:46,690
We're gonna prophesy.

1088
00:48:46,690 --> 00:48:47,490
Are you ready?

1089
00:48:48,690 --> 00:48:49,630
Come on, if you're ready.

1090
00:48:49,860 --> 00:48:51,700
Now, this is going to seem
different, but I'm going to.

1091
00:48:51,940 --> 00:48:53,140
Some of you have never done this.

1092
00:48:53,140 --> 00:48:56,940
You might even feel guilty if
you have a spirit of religion, because

1093
00:48:56,940 --> 00:48:59,540
the spirit of religion says,
well, who am I to do this?

1094
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:03,060
But the spirit of adoption
says, I am his son.

1095
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:04,580
I am his seed.

1096
00:49:04,660 --> 00:49:05,700
I am his daughter.

1097
00:49:05,780 --> 00:49:08,500
And everything he said, I have
a right to.

1098
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:09,620
I have a right to.

1099
00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:11,580
So we're going to make some declarations.

1100
00:49:11,580 --> 00:49:12,420
Are you ready?

1101
00:49:12,740 --> 00:49:16,710
So say this with me boldly
now, only if you come to into agreement,

1102
00:49:17,030 --> 00:49:18,790
but say this with me boldly.

1103
00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:20,150
I am generous.

1104
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:23,110
I give seed.

1105
00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:25,110
I sow seed.

1106
00:49:25,670 --> 00:49:27,350
I am not in lack.

1107
00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:29,750
I am not in poverty.

1108
00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:34,390
I am the seed of Abraham
through Christ Jesus.

1109
00:49:35,110 --> 00:49:36,710
Okay, I want you to say this.

1110
00:49:36,790 --> 00:49:38,870
I. I am intelligent.

1111
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:41,510
I have the mind of Christ.

1112
00:50:31,421 --> 00:50:33,101
He gives me strategy.

1113
00:50:34,061 --> 00:50:35,741
He gives me plans.

1114
00:50:36,621 --> 00:50:38,301
I am not confused.

1115
00:50:39,341 --> 00:50:42,861
I have clarity through the scriptures.

1116
00:50:43,661 --> 00:50:47,261
I have revelation through the
Holy Spirit.

1117
00:50:47,981 --> 00:50:49,061
Okay, come on, come on.

1118
00:50:49,061 --> 00:50:50,381
We're gonna keep doing some
more of these.

1119
00:50:50,381 --> 00:50:51,421
Is this helping you?

1120
00:50:51,821 --> 00:50:53,261
Because you have to declare this.

1121
00:50:53,261 --> 00:50:54,221
Because the devil.

1122
00:50:54,221 --> 00:50:56,601
Remember how I said they make
videos about me?

1123
00:50:56,681 --> 00:50:58,841
Well, hell makes videos about you.

1124
00:50:59,001 --> 00:51:03,401
And the spirit of condemnation
and guilt and shame has propaganda

1125
00:51:03,481 --> 00:51:04,081
to put a

1126
00:51:04,081 --> 00:51:05,561
false identity on you.

1127
00:51:05,641 --> 00:51:08,601
And so sometimes you gotta
talk back and say no.

1128
00:51:08,681 --> 00:51:10,681
Just like Jesus said, it is written.

1129
00:51:10,681 --> 00:51:11,561
Are y' all ready?

1130
00:51:12,441 --> 00:51:13,521
Come on now.

1131
00:51:13,521 --> 00:51:17,721
Say this with Me, I am
accepted, not rejected.

1132
00:51:18,361 --> 00:51:25,321
The favor of God goes before
me like a shield protecting me.

1133
00:51:25,961 --> 00:51:29,721
God opens doors that no man
can shut.

1134
00:51:30,841 --> 00:51:34,361
God shuts doors that shouldn't
be open.

1135
00:51:35,081 --> 00:51:37,081
I am in his perfect will.

1136
00:51:37,881 --> 00:51:39,081
Submit it to him.

1137
00:51:39,801 --> 00:51:41,401
I am not wavering.

1138
00:51:42,201 --> 00:51:43,641
I am not doubting.

1139
00:51:44,681 --> 00:51:45,961
I am in faith.

1140
00:51:47,091 --> 00:51:48,691
Fear is not my portion.

1141
00:51:50,131 --> 00:51:51,731
Faith is my portion.

1142
00:51:52,211 --> 00:51:53,731
I walk by faith.

1143
00:51:54,291 --> 00:51:55,811
I talk by faith.

1144
00:51:56,211 --> 00:51:57,731
I live by faith.

1145
00:51:58,211 --> 00:51:59,891
I breathe by faith.

1146
00:52:01,091 --> 00:52:01,571
Come on.

1147
00:52:01,571 --> 00:52:02,771
Okay, we're getting it now.

1148
00:52:03,011 --> 00:52:03,491
We're getting.

1149
00:52:03,491 --> 00:52:04,851
Okay, you want to do some more?

1150
00:52:06,051 --> 00:52:08,131
Because you know what I'm
working on?

1151
00:52:08,131 --> 00:52:10,691
I'm working on a series of
prayer books right now.

1152
00:52:11,331 --> 00:52:13,711
I'm working on a series of
prayer books where you're going to

1153
00:52:13,711 --> 00:52:16,631
be able to declare these
things at home with the books because

1154
00:52:16,631 --> 00:52:18,751
the Lord told me we got to
train up this army.

1155
00:52:18,911 --> 00:52:20,111
I'm going to do a couple more.

1156
00:52:20,111 --> 00:52:21,151
You want to do this?

1157
00:52:21,631 --> 00:52:24,831
And you can watch this footage
back and you can play these prayers.

1158
00:52:24,991 --> 00:52:26,151
These are simple prayers.

1159
00:52:26,151 --> 00:52:29,631
But I'm telling you, these
prayers kept me through some of my

1160
00:52:29,631 --> 00:52:30,511
hardest times.

1161
00:52:30,991 --> 00:52:33,751
These prayers are the reason
why I'm standing before you right

1162
00:52:33,751 --> 00:52:33,951
now.

1163
00:52:33,951 --> 00:52:35,711
That's why I can do it without notes.

1164
00:52:36,191 --> 00:52:37,471
Are you want to do some more?

1165
00:52:38,841 --> 00:52:39,321
Okay.

1166
00:52:39,401 --> 00:52:40,761
Declare this with me.

1167
00:52:41,001 --> 00:52:42,361
I am healed.

1168
00:52:43,161 --> 00:52:44,441
I am whole.

1169
00:52:45,161 --> 00:52:48,841
Every cell in my body
submitted to

1170
00:52:48,841 --> 00:52:51,881
God's word from the top of my

1171
00:52:51,881 --> 00:52:54,601
head to the soles of my feet.

1172
00:52:55,001 --> 00:52:56,841
I am completely healed.

1173
00:52:57,561 --> 00:53:02,601
Because healing is my promise
through Christ Jesus.

1174
00:53:03,081 --> 00:53:10,111
I do not expect accept any
disease, any sickness in Jesus name.

1175
00:53:10,511 --> 00:53:13,791
I repent for all unforgiveness.

1176
00:53:14,431 --> 00:53:19,391
I repent for all sin known and unknown.

1177
00:53:20,431 --> 00:53:27,511
Anything contributing to
sickness in my life, I repent and

1178
00:53:27,511 --> 00:53:29,391
bring it under the blood of Jesus.

1179
00:53:31,241 --> 00:53:35,001
Every spirit of infirmity must
leave my body.

1180
00:53:36,201 --> 00:53:40,681
My body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit.

1181
00:53:41,481 --> 00:53:45,081
Only the Holy Spirit can dwell
in my body.

1182
00:53:45,881 --> 00:53:52,361
Every generational curse is
broken from my mother's side and

1183
00:53:52,361 --> 00:53:53,481
my father's side.

1184
00:53:54,201 --> 00:54:01,491
And my body is healed and
whole each day I increase in health.

1185
00:54:02,611 --> 00:54:04,611
I increase in vitality.

1186
00:54:05,411 --> 00:54:07,011
I increase in energy.

1187
00:54:07,731 --> 00:54:09,491
I increase in strength.

1188
00:54:10,211 --> 00:54:16,411
Because the Holy Spirit
quickens my body for his will to

1189
00:54:16,411 --> 00:54:18,371
be done on the earth.

1190
00:54:20,211 --> 00:54:21,171
Okay, now watch.

1191
00:54:21,521 --> 00:54:22,721
Here's what you're noticing.

1192
00:54:23,521 --> 00:54:26,041
It feels like some of you feel
like you're speaking a different

1193
00:54:26,041 --> 00:54:27,281
language now, don't you?

1194
00:54:28,001 --> 00:54:29,761
Because you know what's native
to you?

1195
00:54:29,761 --> 00:54:30,561
It's not English.

1196
00:54:30,561 --> 00:54:31,441
It's not Spanish.

1197
00:54:31,441 --> 00:54:32,481
It's not Italian.

1198
00:54:32,481 --> 00:54:34,241
You know what's native to your tongue?

1199
00:54:34,401 --> 00:54:37,041
Complaining, murmuring.

1200
00:54:38,001 --> 00:54:38,401
Right?

1201
00:54:38,721 --> 00:54:41,561
So when you pray like I'm
praying, it almost sound like, can

1202
00:54:41,561 --> 00:54:42,121
I say this.

1203
00:54:42,121 --> 00:54:43,601
You should be saying this.

1204
00:54:45,041 --> 00:54:46,081
This is what come.

1205
00:54:46,161 --> 00:54:47,101
Can we do one more?

1206
00:54:48,691 --> 00:54:49,171
All right.

1207
00:54:50,771 --> 00:54:53,971
But when we talk about these
things, this is important.

1208
00:54:54,451 --> 00:54:58,651
This whole sermon, Matthew,
chapter 21, it's all about that fig

1209
00:54:58,651 --> 00:54:59,171
tree.

1210
00:54:59,651 --> 00:55:04,691
And what you see happening is
the harlots and the tax collectors,

1211
00:55:05,091 --> 00:55:09,811
they say, jesus, I'm not going
to go into the field and harvest.

1212
00:55:09,971 --> 00:55:13,331
But then they change their
mind, repent, and then they go do

1213
00:55:13,331 --> 00:55:13,531
it.

1214
00:55:13,681 --> 00:55:13,921
It.

1215
00:55:14,081 --> 00:55:18,001
But then there's other people
who say, I will go do it, but they

1216
00:55:18,001 --> 00:55:18,801
never do it.

1217
00:55:19,201 --> 00:55:21,561
Read the rest of Matthew,
chapter 21 this week.

1218
00:55:21,561 --> 00:55:22,321
That's what's going.

1219
00:55:22,401 --> 00:55:27,681
And Jesus says, that's why the
harlots, the prostitutes, the sexually

1220
00:55:27,681 --> 00:55:30,001
perverse, the tax collectors,
this one.

1221
00:55:30,161 --> 00:55:33,201
That's why they're going to be
in the kingdom, because they changed

1222
00:55:33,201 --> 00:55:33,601
their mind.

1223
00:55:33,601 --> 00:55:34,561
They repented.

1224
00:55:34,801 --> 00:55:36,721
But then the other people,
they lied.

1225
00:55:36,721 --> 00:55:38,481
They said they were going to
do the work.

1226
00:55:38,481 --> 00:55:39,331
They never did it.

1227
00:55:39,481 --> 00:55:39,681
It.

1228
00:55:39,681 --> 00:55:43,761
And it'd be better to have all
that sin in your life and repent

1229
00:55:43,761 --> 00:55:47,001
of it and then go do the work,
than it would be to be like, well,

1230
00:55:47,001 --> 00:55:49,241
I don't hardly ever sin, but I
don't do the work.

1231
00:55:49,321 --> 00:55:52,521
Because he's saying, these
people repent and they change their

1232
00:55:52,521 --> 00:55:55,481
ways and they do my will and
they enter the kingdom.

1233
00:55:55,801 --> 00:55:58,201
So right now, if you're like,
well, who am I?

1234
00:55:58,521 --> 00:56:01,241
Listen, I'm a. I'm a repented sinner.

1235
00:56:01,321 --> 00:56:05,201
I'm the one who changed my
mind and said, as for me and my house,

1236
00:56:05,201 --> 00:56:05,791
we will see.

1237
00:56:06,021 --> 00:56:06,741
Serve the Lord.

1238
00:56:06,741 --> 00:56:09,781
Oh, I got a past, but I also
have a future.

1239
00:56:10,021 --> 00:56:13,861
And I said yes to Jesus, and
I'm getting into this kingdom and

1240
00:56:13,861 --> 00:56:14,141
I'd

1241
00:56:14,141 --> 00:56:15,301
rather do the work.

1242
00:56:16,021 --> 00:56:16,461
Come on.

1243
00:56:16,461 --> 00:56:18,581
How many of you know Satan
will work you too?

1244
00:56:19,541 --> 00:56:20,461
I'd rather do that.

1245
00:56:20,461 --> 00:56:22,261
I'd rather be a slave for Christ

1246
00:56:23,141 --> 00:56:25,221
than to be a celebrity for Satan.

1247
00:56:25,781 --> 00:56:28,821
Because Satan will work you
too, all the way to hell.

1248
00:56:29,861 --> 00:56:30,381
So this.

1249
00:56:30,381 --> 00:56:33,701
So when we're praying like
this, I'm just.

1250
00:56:33,701 --> 00:56:35,301
I'm concerned for you.

1251
00:56:36,341 --> 00:56:39,941
All this news media
propaganda, what's coming up ahead.

1252
00:56:40,581 --> 00:56:42,101
I'm concerned with you.

1253
00:56:42,821 --> 00:56:45,381
And you need to pray like
you've never prayed.

1254
00:56:45,621 --> 00:56:48,020
You need to begin to get into
the word like you've never.

1255
00:56:48,020 --> 00:56:50,701
That's why I wrote that book,
the A Journey with Jesus.

1256
00:56:50,701 --> 00:56:54,341
I just finished the transcript
for my entire book, Unoffendable

1257
00:56:54,341 --> 00:56:55,701
Heart, that's coming out this fall.

1258
00:56:55,941 --> 00:56:58,991
John Bevere wrote the
foreword, and he said, mike, in the

1259
00:56:58,991 --> 00:57:01,511
last days, it says, offenses
will increase.

1260
00:57:02,231 --> 00:57:06,231
And your book is actually an
anecdote for End times, deception.

1261
00:57:07,031 --> 00:57:10,471
So the Lord has given you
everything you need to step in.

1262
00:57:10,871 --> 00:57:13,831
How many of you just feel
God's grace in this season?

1263
00:57:13,991 --> 00:57:16,071
How many of you feel him
speaking to you?

1264
00:57:16,071 --> 00:57:19,031
How was there things that I
confirmed today during the sermon?

1265
00:57:19,031 --> 00:57:21,591
Were there things that you
were like, man, I needed that.

1266
00:57:21,591 --> 00:57:22,871
It's good for my soul.

1267
00:57:23,271 --> 00:57:24,351
All right, we're going to pray.

1268
00:57:24,351 --> 00:57:25,881
One more prayer.

1269
00:57:26,201 --> 00:57:28,441
And I'm just going through the
majors right now.

1270
00:57:28,761 --> 00:57:30,441
I'm going through the majors
right now.

1271
00:57:30,441 --> 00:57:31,321
Okay, you ready?

1272
00:57:31,801 --> 00:57:33,801
Oh, the devil's gonna hate
this one.

1273
00:57:35,321 --> 00:57:36,521
The devil's gonna hate the.

1274
00:57:36,521 --> 00:57:39,001
I'm telling you, watch out,
because when you pray this one, you're

1275
00:57:39,001 --> 00:57:40,041
gonna have to back it up.

1276
00:57:41,241 --> 00:57:43,841
But the devil hates this
because it's just everything I said

1277
00:57:43,841 --> 00:57:46,401
to you is based in the
scriptures, and it's an affirmation

1278
00:57:46,401 --> 00:57:47,321
of what he said.

1279
00:57:47,561 --> 00:57:48,721
So just say this with me.

1280
00:57:48,721 --> 00:57:57,371
Boldly say, I have authority
to trample upon snakes and scorpions

1281
00:57:57,691 --> 00:57:59,931
and every evil spirit.

1282
00:58:00,571 --> 00:58:05,931
I have authority in the
spiritual realm over my neighborhood,

1283
00:58:06,411 --> 00:58:12,091
over my city, over the school
system, over my workplace.

1284
00:58:12,571 --> 00:58:18,661
I have authority given by
Christ to dethrone principalities,

1285
00:58:19,541 --> 00:58:26,141
to dethrone demonic spirits,
to boldly proclaim the gospel at

1286
00:58:26,141 --> 00:58:27,541
the sound of my voice.

1287
00:58:28,421 --> 00:58:32,661
Hell responds by fleeing in
every direction.

1288
00:58:33,781 --> 00:58:35,701
My enemies are scattered.

1289
00:58:36,821 --> 00:58:41,861
Every plot of the enemy is
foiled by the blood of Jesus.

1290
00:58:43,231 --> 00:58:51,391
Every attack, every wile has
to cease by the blood of Jesus over

1291
00:58:51,391 --> 00:58:52,111
my life.

1292
00:58:53,471 --> 00:58:59,391
Heavenly Father, you silence
every tongue that rises up against

1293
00:58:59,471 --> 00:58:59,871
me.

1294
00:59:01,071 --> 00:59:07,471
Heavenly Father, you silence
every spirit that is monitoring me,

1295
00:59:08,361 --> 00:59:10,121
that is plotting against me.

1296
00:59:10,521 --> 00:59:12,281
You thwart their plans.

1297
00:59:13,641 --> 00:59:16,761
And Father, I thank you that you

1298
00:59:16,761 --> 00:59:21,721
send confusion into the
enemy's camp, that

1299
00:59:21,721 --> 00:59:27,321
his plans will fail and only
your plans will succeed.

1300
00:59:28,121 --> 00:59:29,841
Okay, now say it with boldness.

1301
00:59:29,841 --> 00:59:31,161
I know who I am.

1302
00:59:32,201 --> 00:59:34,601
I know what I have access,
access to.

1303
00:59:36,201 --> 00:59:38,921
I have been seated in heavenly places.

1304
00:59:40,121 --> 00:59:47,841
I will not accept anything
less than my full rights, my full

1305
00:59:47,841 --> 00:59:55,121
authority, my full
inheritance, and no deception, no

1306
00:59:55,121 --> 01:00:03,441
lie will work or come nigh to
my ear in Jesus, mighty name.

1307
01:00:04,161 --> 01:00:06,081
Come on, somebody celebrate.

1308
01:00:06,321 --> 01:00:07,561
Come on, come on.

1309
01:00:07,561 --> 01:00:08,641
Let's worship for a moment.

1310
01:00:08,641 --> 01:00:36,901
I feel that freedom, Sam.
