1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,968
Yeah, I'm just gonna jump
right into it.

2
00:00:09,024 --> 00:00:11,848
You know, if you have your
Bible, you can get it out.

3
00:00:11,904 --> 00:00:14,260
I wanna show you some things
in scripture today.

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:18,580
But let me just, Let me just
say this.

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,200
This Easter is so different
than any other Easter.

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,240
And if I could kind of narrate
that a little bit further.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,140
Let me explain it like this.

8
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:32,022
Every single year for the last
seven, eight years, I would get up

9
00:00:32,046 --> 00:00:36,038
on Easter Sunday and I felt
this burden to try to prove to people

10
00:00:36,094 --> 00:00:37,206
the resurrection.

11
00:00:37,318 --> 00:00:41,606
And I would bring all kinds of
scholarly materials and the historic

12
00:00:41,638 --> 00:00:43,670
account and the secular account.

13
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:47,542
And I would bring the logical,
the philosophical, the historical

14
00:00:47,606 --> 00:00:48,406
all together.

15
00:00:48,558 --> 00:00:51,478
And I just felt this
tremendous burden to help a generation

16
00:00:51,574 --> 00:00:52,716
understand the.

17
00:00:52,758 --> 00:00:56,420
That believing in the
Resurrection doesn't make you dumb.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400
That there's not a direct
correlation between how low your

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,648
IQ is and how much you believe
in the Savior.

20
00:01:03,824 --> 00:01:05,952
And I would do that every year.

21
00:01:06,136 --> 00:01:08,780
But something happened within
the last year.

22
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:14,384
There has been this seismic
shift in society because a renowned

23
00:01:14,432 --> 00:01:18,272
theologian and biblical
scholar named Wes Huff was on Joe

24
00:01:18,336 --> 00:01:22,400
Rogan, actually establishing
the authenticity and the credibility

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,680
of scripture and proving the
Bible's reliability on Joe Rogan.

26
00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:31,000
And then you have all these.

27
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:33,164
Russell Brand got saved.

28
00:01:33,212 --> 00:01:34,680
Who saw that coming?

29
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:38,412
And it's like it just kept happening.

30
00:01:38,476 --> 00:01:40,156
Another domino would drop.

31
00:01:40,268 --> 00:01:44,892
And so it's then, by the way,
some of the older folks may not know,

32
00:01:44,996 --> 00:01:50,172
but college kids all across
America are accepting Jesus as savior

33
00:01:50,236 --> 00:01:54,140
and getting baptized in
fountains in their local college.

34
00:01:54,220 --> 00:01:58,534
And they're giving up the beer
and the alcohol for the new wine

35
00:01:58,582 --> 00:02:00,934
of the Holy Spirit in communion.

36
00:02:01,062 --> 00:02:04,050
There is an awakening that's
happening in this nation.

37
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:09,302
And then Jordan Peterson, he's
a Canadian, but we'll forgive him

38
00:02:09,326 --> 00:02:10,130
for that.

39
00:02:10,990 --> 00:02:15,590
He crossed this threshold from
philosophical to actually saying

40
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:16,918
it's supernatural.

41
00:02:17,014 --> 00:02:19,890
And I believe in the deity of
Jesus Christ.

42
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:24,406
So I don't feel a burden to
convince you that the resurrection

43
00:02:24,438 --> 00:02:25,030
is true.

44
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:28,658
As a matter of fact, if you
don't believe it, getting left behind

45
00:02:28,794 --> 00:02:30,610
because society is shifting.

46
00:02:30,690 --> 00:02:32,194
We are in the midst of a.

47
00:02:32,282 --> 00:02:33,350
A revival.

48
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:38,390
Come on with that golf clap.

49
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:43,074
Oh, yes, revival, yes.

50
00:02:43,122 --> 00:02:44,338
Our children are being saved.

51
00:02:44,354 --> 00:02:45,186
No, no, no, no.

52
00:02:45,258 --> 00:02:50,066
We are plundering hell and
populating heaven and we are taking

53
00:02:50,138 --> 00:02:54,322
our children back from these
woke ideologies that have tried to

54
00:02:54,346 --> 00:02:55,314
confuse them.

55
00:02:55,402 --> 00:02:59,540
And we are telling the enemy,
you can't have this generation.

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,224
And by the way, Charlie Kirk
was literally at a college campus

57
00:03:06,272 --> 00:03:07,860
rebuking a demon.

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,544
So you go back five years ago.

59
00:03:10,632 --> 00:03:14,720
Oh, that's my crazy pastor
that's casting demons out of everybody.

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,672
Well, Even the secular news
media is dealing with the demonic

61
00:03:18,736 --> 00:03:19,056
now.

62
00:03:19,128 --> 00:03:22,660
You're getting left behind if
you're still an atheist.

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,620
But we have a new problem.

64
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,260
Can I tell you the new problem?

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,600
The new problem is that many
people, as they're scrolling on their

66
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:38,100
phones, they learn more about
God than they actually know God.

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,976
And the problem is they know
about God.

68
00:03:41,008 --> 00:03:43,520
They're increasing in
knowledge, but not increasing in

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,420
intimacy.

70
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,792
So they're learning all about
God, but they don't know God.

71
00:03:47,856 --> 00:03:51,260
And the even bigger problem
that is that God doesn't know them.

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,064
So I want to show you
something briefly in the scriptures,

73
00:03:55,112 --> 00:03:58,808
because we got to go to the
next level now, but this isn't awakening.

74
00:03:58,904 --> 00:04:03,224
I came out here to start this
church with 18 people.

75
00:04:03,392 --> 00:04:04,472
Some of them are still here.

76
00:04:04,496 --> 00:04:05,832
I was worshiping with them.

77
00:04:05,936 --> 00:04:09,608
I never thought in a million
years we would be seven campuses

78
00:04:09,704 --> 00:04:12,776
in seven years all across America.

79
00:04:12,888 --> 00:04:13,560
But let me.

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,272
I'm not celebrating that.

81
00:04:15,376 --> 00:04:19,080
I'm celebrating the fact that
we were the wild ones who went into

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,704
a movie theater and set up
faithfully every year.

83
00:04:21,792 --> 00:04:22,992
And the Lord has exposed.

84
00:04:23,016 --> 00:04:23,424
Expanded.

85
00:04:23,472 --> 00:04:23,872
Why?

86
00:04:23,976 --> 00:04:25,540
Because there's a hunger.

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,688
And what the kids are
hungering for is what the.

88
00:04:28,744 --> 00:04:30,912
What the lead generation's
hungering for.

89
00:04:31,016 --> 00:04:32,944
It's what the millennials are
hungering for.

90
00:04:33,032 --> 00:04:37,420
And even the Gen Xers who are
disgruntled are hungering for.

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,664
That was a joke.

92
00:04:39,712 --> 00:04:43,940
Gen Xers, like, I'm not angry.

93
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,700
My face is just stuck like
this from living on Long Island.

94
00:04:48,850 --> 00:04:53,910
But what they're hungering for
is I think I'm an eternal being.

95
00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:57,066
I think I'm an eternal being.

96
00:04:57,218 --> 00:04:59,914
And I think there's more to
life than this.

97
00:05:00,082 --> 00:05:01,994
And I don't know what it is.

98
00:05:02,162 --> 00:05:03,530
So I want to show you.

99
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:05,898
Because today is a dividing line.

100
00:05:05,954 --> 00:05:08,874
Today is when you get to cross
over the threshold.

101
00:05:09,002 --> 00:05:13,722
Because what's happening is so
much bigger than our seven locations

102
00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:14,826
across the nation.

103
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:18,394
It's so much bigger than the
2000 movie theaters that we had a

104
00:05:18,402 --> 00:05:19,098
film in.

105
00:05:19,234 --> 00:05:19,690
It is.

106
00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:21,942
A literal awakening is occurring.

107
00:05:22,006 --> 00:05:26,758
And the highest IQ people, the
people who are in academia, but also

108
00:05:26,814 --> 00:05:29,814
the people that are in
entertainment, they're all converging

109
00:05:29,862 --> 00:05:33,930
at this point where they're
saying, jesus is alive.

110
00:05:36,590 --> 00:05:37,814
This is the distinction.

111
00:05:37,862 --> 00:05:39,250
So I want to show you something.

112
00:05:39,790 --> 00:05:42,730
Tell your neighbor, hey,
you're in the Bible.

113
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:45,526
Okay.

114
00:05:45,558 --> 00:05:47,724
You can nudge them a little
bit if they're sleeping.

115
00:05:47,902 --> 00:05:49,740
I know it's dark in here.

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,152
Now nudge them again and just
say no.

117
00:05:53,176 --> 00:05:55,140
No, literally, you're in the Bible.

118
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,984
Okay, this is what I'm going
to show you right now is a future

119
00:06:02,072 --> 00:06:02,848
prophecy.

120
00:06:02,944 --> 00:06:05,952
Because I went before God and
I was like, God, I get one shot for

121
00:06:05,976 --> 00:06:07,056
some of them to preach.

122
00:06:07,168 --> 00:06:08,928
And what would you have me to say?

123
00:06:09,064 --> 00:06:11,184
And he took me to Book of Revelation.

124
00:06:11,312 --> 00:06:14,336
I'm probably going to be the
only pastor in America preaching

125
00:06:14,368 --> 00:06:16,786
out of the Book of Revelation
for Easter Sunday.

126
00:06:16,928 --> 00:06:19,982
And we're also going to talk
about hell and the lake of fire for

127
00:06:20,006 --> 00:06:20,846
a few moments.

128
00:06:20,958 --> 00:06:23,934
And I guarantee you there's a
lot of pastors ain't willing to touch

129
00:06:23,982 --> 00:06:24,766
that topic.

130
00:06:24,878 --> 00:06:28,686
But the problem with the
reason why some of you are antagonistic

131
00:06:28,718 --> 00:06:32,250
with Christianity is because
they gave you the wrong one.

132
00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:34,810
You met the wrong Christ.

133
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:36,798
If you meet the real Christ.

134
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:40,254
He talks about demons, he
talks about healing, resurrection,

135
00:06:40,302 --> 00:06:42,132
and he also talks about hell.

136
00:06:42,326 --> 00:06:46,520
And as a matter of fact,
according to most funerals that pastors

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,080
preach, everybody's going to heaven.

138
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,300
Because, news flash, pastors lie.

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,960
I know that's shocking.

140
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,184
Y'all think that pastors are trustworthy.

141
00:06:58,232 --> 00:07:00,024
But a lot of pastors lie.

142
00:07:00,152 --> 00:07:00,920
Here's the thing.

143
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,336
I didn't even wanna be a
pastor or a preacher.

144
00:07:03,448 --> 00:07:05,128
So I ain't got no skin in the game.

145
00:07:05,184 --> 00:07:06,776
I might as well be a real one.

146
00:07:06,848 --> 00:07:09,220
Can I tell you what the Bible
actually says?

147
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:16,180
Because I read the Hindu
Vedas, and Hinduism was not it.

148
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,856
I read the Quran three times.

149
00:07:19,008 --> 00:07:22,968
It's filled with
indiscrepancies and errors.

150
00:07:23,064 --> 00:07:24,216
That was not it.

151
00:07:24,368 --> 00:07:26,840
And I went on that journey.

152
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,520
And so what I'm gonna present
to you in the next few minutes is

153
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,260
the truth that I have to
submit myself to.

154
00:07:34,570 --> 00:07:36,706
Because it's either a lie or
it's the truth.

155
00:07:36,738 --> 00:07:38,162
And you have to discern that.

156
00:07:38,266 --> 00:07:39,170
So let me show you this.

157
00:07:39,210 --> 00:07:39,970
You're in the Bible.

158
00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:40,674
Watch.

159
00:07:40,842 --> 00:07:42,866
And this is a future prophecy.

160
00:07:42,978 --> 00:07:45,122
And I saw the dead.

161
00:07:45,266 --> 00:07:46,270
That's you.

162
00:07:48,490 --> 00:07:50,402
Okay, I should have warned you.

163
00:07:50,586 --> 00:07:53,474
We're gonna plunge into the
depths of despair for a moment.

164
00:07:53,522 --> 00:07:55,266
I'm gonna take you into a
really dark path.

165
00:07:55,298 --> 00:07:56,882
And it's light on the other side.

166
00:07:56,986 --> 00:07:59,762
So in the next few moments, if
you're like, hello, darkness, my

167
00:07:59,786 --> 00:08:02,122
little friend, just stay with me.

168
00:08:02,146 --> 00:08:03,402
Okay, so.

169
00:08:03,426 --> 00:08:08,110
And I saw the dead, great and
small, standing before the throne.

170
00:08:08,530 --> 00:08:10,746
And books were open books.

171
00:08:10,858 --> 00:08:13,098
The part I want you to pay
attention to is the S.

172
00:08:13,154 --> 00:08:14,042
It's plural.

173
00:08:14,186 --> 00:08:15,482
Books were open.

174
00:08:15,666 --> 00:08:21,130
Then another book, another
book was open, which is the book

175
00:08:21,170 --> 00:08:21,802
of life.

176
00:08:21,906 --> 00:08:25,066
Okay, so everyone's dead.

177
00:08:25,258 --> 00:08:28,490
And they're standing before
the throne, the throne of God.

178
00:08:28,650 --> 00:08:32,490
And by the way, there are
thrones, plural, but there's one

179
00:08:32,530 --> 00:08:34,138
throne above every throne.

180
00:08:34,314 --> 00:08:36,090
There's one name above every name.

181
00:08:36,130 --> 00:08:38,122
There's one king above all kings.

182
00:08:38,266 --> 00:08:42,282
And the Bible says every
tongue will confess and every knee

183
00:08:42,346 --> 00:08:43,322
will bow.

184
00:08:43,466 --> 00:08:47,386
So no matter what you believe
today, you're all gonna end up confessing

185
00:08:47,418 --> 00:08:48,186
and believing.

186
00:08:48,298 --> 00:08:52,778
The difference is, if you do
it willfully today, you won't be

187
00:08:52,834 --> 00:08:54,430
forced to do it tomorrow.

188
00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:58,796
And that is the consequence of
hearing the truth, but hardening

189
00:08:58,828 --> 00:09:00,252
your heart and ignoring it.

190
00:09:00,356 --> 00:09:03,244
And that's why I feel like
right now we're in one of the greatest

191
00:09:03,292 --> 00:09:06,700
moments, one of the greatest
transitions ever in human history.

192
00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:11,436
And I don't want you to miss
why God has you here, because there's

193
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:12,812
books that were open.

194
00:09:12,996 --> 00:09:17,100
Now, the books that were open
are the books of the lives of the

195
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:18,652
dead who are being judged.

196
00:09:18,716 --> 00:09:19,842
That's my life.

197
00:09:19,996 --> 00:09:20,918
That's your life.

198
00:09:20,974 --> 00:09:22,662
There's books that are being written.

199
00:09:22,726 --> 00:09:24,050
Let me show you something.

200
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:27,750
It says in Second Corinthians,
chapter three, verse two and three,

201
00:09:27,870 --> 00:09:29,050
you yourselves.

202
00:09:29,390 --> 00:09:34,822
So you yourselves are our
letter of recommendation, written

203
00:09:34,886 --> 00:09:39,414
on our hearts, not on tablets
of stone, but on tablets of human

204
00:09:39,502 --> 00:09:40,134
hearts.

205
00:09:40,262 --> 00:09:41,430
So what does this mean?

206
00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:45,606
It's like the apostle was
saying, your life is like a letter

207
00:09:45,638 --> 00:09:46,924
of recommendation.

208
00:09:47,102 --> 00:09:50,032
So in other words, for those
of you who are living for Jesus,

209
00:09:50,176 --> 00:09:52,752
your life is like a book that
people read.

210
00:09:52,856 --> 00:09:55,152
As a matter of fact, there's
people that work with you that will

211
00:09:55,176 --> 00:09:57,580
never read the Bible, but
they'll read your life.

212
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,768
And so when they hear you
praying in the break room and they're

213
00:10:00,784 --> 00:10:01,840
like, what's going on in there?

214
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,912
You're like, listen, I'm
praying because I believe God can

215
00:10:04,936 --> 00:10:06,096
do the miraculous.

216
00:10:06,208 --> 00:10:09,760
Then what happens is you begin
to lead the lost to the cross at

217
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,432
any cost.

218
00:10:10,536 --> 00:10:13,980
Because they may not read the
Bible, but they read your life.

219
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,084
So, but let me give you the
other part of this.

220
00:10:17,252 --> 00:10:19,720
Your life is like a book.

221
00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:25,600
And imagine it like a
documentary where there are no edits,

222
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:30,668
a continuous documentary where
there are no deleted scenes.

223
00:10:30,844 --> 00:10:33,436
So every single time you
cussed your wife out.

224
00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:34,680
It's in the book.

225
00:10:35,140 --> 00:10:39,132
Every single time, you prayed
to God, God, free me from this, make

226
00:10:39,156 --> 00:10:39,676
me pure.

227
00:10:39,708 --> 00:10:41,154
And then you went back to.

228
00:10:41,212 --> 00:10:44,614
To the filth of perversion,
back to pornography.

229
00:10:44,662 --> 00:10:45,810
It's in the book.

230
00:10:46,110 --> 00:10:50,550
Every single time that you
were given an opportunity to be generous,

231
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:53,094
but you responded in fear and
became selfish.

232
00:10:53,142 --> 00:10:54,262
It's in the book.

233
00:10:54,446 --> 00:10:56,998
Every single time that you
knew God was calling you, but you

234
00:10:57,054 --> 00:11:00,262
resisted and you went back
into the world to go live for your

235
00:11:00,286 --> 00:11:01,526
own selfish ambition.

236
00:11:01,638 --> 00:11:02,566
It's in the book.

237
00:11:02,638 --> 00:11:06,262
I mean, it's like the most
Embarrassing ruthless documentary

238
00:11:06,326 --> 00:11:09,350
ever, where you cannot delete
any of the scenes.

239
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:11,942
And before you have a panic
attack, let me give you a little

240
00:11:11,966 --> 00:11:13,010
bit of good news.

241
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:15,450
All of our books are the same.

242
00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:21,406
For all have sinned and fallen
short of the glory of God.

243
00:11:21,438 --> 00:11:24,970
Now, my wife, she only sinned
three times in 40 years.

244
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:30,782
So you gotta watch her movie
for a long time before you get to

245
00:11:30,806 --> 00:11:31,630
a sin.

246
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:35,810
For me, I have whole years
where I sin perpetually.

247
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:38,730
Come on, we can laugh a little.

248
00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:41,230
Everyone's like, not I.

249
00:11:42,250 --> 00:11:43,442
This is Long Island.

250
00:11:43,506 --> 00:11:44,242
We don't sin.

251
00:11:44,306 --> 00:11:45,730
We don't have problems here.

252
00:11:45,770 --> 00:11:47,350
This is Long Island.

253
00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:49,730
Come on.

254
00:11:49,770 --> 00:11:50,950
Get over yourself.

255
00:11:52,090 --> 00:11:56,706
For all have sinned and fallen
short of the glory of God.

256
00:11:56,818 --> 00:12:01,666
So on the judgment Day, when
these books are open and they're

257
00:12:01,698 --> 00:12:01,890
re.

258
00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:05,950
And they're reading of our
story, it's like we are done for.

259
00:12:06,290 --> 00:12:09,802
And when you think about our
lives and how we live our life, the

260
00:12:09,826 --> 00:12:11,594
different seasons, the
different eras.

261
00:12:11,642 --> 00:12:13,418
You know, the women wearing culottes.

262
00:12:13,514 --> 00:12:14,762
You guys, Is that a thing?

263
00:12:14,786 --> 00:12:15,306
Culottes?

264
00:12:15,338 --> 00:12:16,630
Did I even say it right?

265
00:12:17,090 --> 00:12:18,410
Somebody laughing in the back.

266
00:12:18,450 --> 00:12:20,266
Somebody's wearing culottes today.

267
00:12:20,418 --> 00:12:21,482
I don't even know what they are.

268
00:12:21,506 --> 00:12:22,778
I just remember my.

269
00:12:22,914 --> 00:12:25,230
The girls talking about bell bottoms.

270
00:12:26,130 --> 00:12:28,394
Remember when you frosted your hair?

271
00:12:28,442 --> 00:12:28,762
Remember?

272
00:12:28,826 --> 00:12:30,282
Didn't they call it frosting?

273
00:12:30,426 --> 00:12:31,210
The tips.

274
00:12:31,290 --> 00:12:32,698
Just the tips of it.

275
00:12:32,834 --> 00:12:34,670
Do you remember when you had hair?

276
00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:36,762
Oh, come on.

277
00:12:36,786 --> 00:12:37,882
We can laugh about it.

278
00:12:37,986 --> 00:12:44,202
Someone's like, you know, JNCO
jeans, those big wide legs.

279
00:12:44,346 --> 00:12:47,402
Remember the skinny jean phase
that when you would walk in them,

280
00:12:47,426 --> 00:12:48,710
you could start a fire?

281
00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:51,590
You remember that?

282
00:12:51,890 --> 00:12:52,554
My wife.

283
00:12:52,602 --> 00:12:55,034
Okay, let me see if this
happened in New York.

284
00:12:55,122 --> 00:12:57,550
Cause we were in northwest Indiana.

285
00:12:58,210 --> 00:12:59,178
Remember when.

286
00:12:59,234 --> 00:13:00,484
Okay, this was a thing.

287
00:13:00,602 --> 00:13:04,480
When I first started dating my
wife, she wore this velour suit.

288
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,700
Is it velour?

289
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,032
Juicy couture.

290
00:13:08,096 --> 00:13:09,500
She just told me.

291
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,240
Okay, yeah, it was a JLO thing.

292
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,780
Jenny from the block.

293
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,472
And so you had all these
chicks from northwest Indiana who

294
00:13:19,496 --> 00:13:22,700
live in corn fields with JLO
stuff on, like.

295
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,180
But my wife would wear these
$1 Old Navy flip flops.

296
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,104
Was that a thing out here,
those Old Navy flip flops?

297
00:13:32,152 --> 00:13:35,272
And where I'm from, there
would be 14 inches of snow in the

298
00:13:35,296 --> 00:13:36,184
dead of winter.

299
00:13:36,312 --> 00:13:38,856
And I'd come to pick my
girlfriend up, who's now my wife,

300
00:13:38,888 --> 00:13:41,480
and she'd come waddling out
with these flip flops on.

301
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,640
And I'm like, you don't wear
shoes in the winter.

302
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,340
Like.

303
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,260
And so.

304
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,500
But these are just the stories
of our life.

305
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,500
And most of us, we're just
doing the Best we can.

306
00:13:54,990 --> 00:13:56,422
Have you ever said that?

307
00:13:56,526 --> 00:13:58,518
I'm just doing the best I can.

308
00:13:58,654 --> 00:14:02,090
I don't think anybody wakes up
and says, I want to be a crackhead.

309
00:14:05,150 --> 00:14:08,902
I used to work in a facility
where I help people get free from

310
00:14:08,926 --> 00:14:09,930
opiates.

311
00:14:10,270 --> 00:14:13,222
They're actually some of the
most intelligent people you'll ever

312
00:14:13,246 --> 00:14:16,758
meet in your life who could
not figure a way out.

313
00:14:16,894 --> 00:14:21,916
And so they just tried to dull
down their high IQ with drug usage.

314
00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:25,280
So don't be so quick to judge.

315
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:30,332
A lot of people I've met who
are alcoholics or very intelligent

316
00:14:30,396 --> 00:14:35,292
people who started to pick up
on the injustice of life and the

317
00:14:35,316 --> 00:14:37,196
fact that things don't always
add up.

318
00:14:37,268 --> 00:14:40,396
And they said, if I can't stop
thinking, at least I can try to shut

319
00:14:40,428 --> 00:14:41,240
it down.

320
00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:43,644
And I'm just keeping it 100
with you.

321
00:14:43,732 --> 00:14:47,902
I don't think I've done a lot
of marriages, and people walk down

322
00:14:47,926 --> 00:14:50,270
the aisle and their families
are represented, and I'm there.

323
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:51,182
I get to see it.

324
00:14:51,206 --> 00:14:52,558
I have the front row seat for it.

325
00:14:52,614 --> 00:14:56,526
I don't think anybody says,
I've never met anybody diabolical

326
00:14:56,558 --> 00:14:57,982
enough to say, you know what I
want to do?

327
00:14:58,086 --> 00:15:01,330
I want to spend $100,000 on a
wedding on Long Island.

328
00:15:01,990 --> 00:15:05,294
Cause, you know, weddings out
here are crazy expensive, you know,

329
00:15:05,302 --> 00:15:07,966
where, like, the bride and the
groom are up on the hydraulic lift

330
00:15:07,998 --> 00:15:13,170
and they start spinning
around, you know, which is awesome.

331
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:17,502
But I don't think anybody
says, let me do all that just so

332
00:15:17,526 --> 00:15:19,370
I can get divorced in four years.

333
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:21,118
I.

334
00:15:21,174 --> 00:15:24,062
I think what happens is we
know how to do a wedding, but we

335
00:15:24,086 --> 00:15:25,570
don't know how to do marriage.

336
00:15:26,390 --> 00:15:26,798
I.

337
00:15:26,854 --> 00:15:27,198
I think.

338
00:15:27,254 --> 00:15:28,222
I think we, like.

339
00:15:28,246 --> 00:15:28,542
Come on.

340
00:15:28,566 --> 00:15:29,950
I'm trying to speak to somebody.

341
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:33,050
And we're just doing the best
we can.

342
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:34,798
And then.

343
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,334
But incrementally.

344
00:15:36,462 --> 00:15:41,490
Now, I want to warn you, God
is real, but so is Satan.

345
00:15:41,830 --> 00:15:47,278
Angels are real, and there's
many, many stories, but so is our

346
00:15:47,334 --> 00:15:48,126
demons.

347
00:15:48,318 --> 00:15:53,422
And so I believe that you were
born on a battlefield and the book

348
00:15:53,446 --> 00:15:57,070
of your life is being written,
and there's a tug of war for your

349
00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:57,614
soul.

350
00:15:57,742 --> 00:16:00,110
And for some of you, you're
like, but, Mike, I'm not even that

351
00:16:00,150 --> 00:16:00,686
important.

352
00:16:00,838 --> 00:16:01,934
No, no, no.

353
00:16:02,102 --> 00:16:05,166
Not being important doesn't
mean that you don't carry the seed

354
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:06,370
of importance.

355
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:10,302
See, it's much easier to kill
a serpent before it hatches from

356
00:16:10,326 --> 00:16:13,210
a shell than to let that thing
hatch and turn into.

357
00:16:13,810 --> 00:16:17,690
It's much easier to crush a
seed than it is to chop down a tree.

358
00:16:17,850 --> 00:16:19,642
So some of you are getting
fought for.

359
00:16:19,666 --> 00:16:22,410
What you're gonna become, even
though you're not that thing right

360
00:16:22,450 --> 00:16:22,890
now.

361
00:16:23,010 --> 00:16:26,042
Because the devil will look at
you and see an author before you

362
00:16:26,066 --> 00:16:26,842
wrote a book.

363
00:16:26,946 --> 00:16:30,202
The devil will look at you and
he'll see a renowned musician and

364
00:16:30,226 --> 00:16:31,978
an artist before you write a song.

365
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:33,498
The devil knows potential.

366
00:16:33,594 --> 00:16:36,682
Sometimes he is aware of your
potential more than you are.

367
00:16:36,786 --> 00:16:40,634
And that's the only way I can
explain why he's tried to kill you

368
00:16:40,722 --> 00:16:41,738
so many times.

369
00:16:41,874 --> 00:16:43,754
Because he's not trying to
kill you.

370
00:16:43,842 --> 00:16:45,830
He's trying to kill what carry.

371
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:48,950
And if he can kill what you
carry, it never gets out to earth.

372
00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:52,390
And then everybody who
struggles like you doesn't get the

373
00:16:52,430 --> 00:16:54,770
victory that you give them
through Christ.

374
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:57,570
Are you picking up on what I'm
putting down?

375
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:03,490
So let me continue to break
this down.

376
00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:07,910
So remember, there's books
which carry the story of our life,

377
00:17:07,950 --> 00:17:12,330
and then there's another book,
and this other book is called the

378
00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:13,838
Book of Life.

379
00:17:13,974 --> 00:17:18,750
And it says if anyone's name
was not found written in the Book

380
00:17:18,790 --> 00:17:19,582
of Life.

381
00:17:19,766 --> 00:17:23,102
So if it was not found written
in the Book of Life, he was thrown

382
00:17:23,166 --> 00:17:24,650
into the Lake of fire.

383
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:30,638
Okay, if Jesus Christ learned
English and he wasn't in the 1st

384
00:17:30,694 --> 00:17:34,190
century, but he was in the
21st century and he was walking around

385
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:37,598
and you were able to have a
conversation with him, it's most

386
00:17:37,654 --> 00:17:40,300
likely he would offend you a lot.

387
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,900
He offended people so much,
they killed him.

388
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,552
So the idea that you're gonna
hang out with Jesus and he's just

389
00:17:47,576 --> 00:17:52,032
gonna hug you and he's gonna
be, buddy Jesus, that's probably.

390
00:17:52,176 --> 00:17:55,808
Jesus was very
confrontational, but in love.

391
00:17:55,944 --> 00:17:57,232
How many of you are parents?

392
00:17:57,296 --> 00:17:58,304
Wave at me.

393
00:17:58,472 --> 00:18:02,272
Okay, you love your children
even when they don't like you.

394
00:18:02,456 --> 00:18:05,392
And you tell your children
what they need to hear, not what

395
00:18:05,416 --> 00:18:06,540
they want to hear.

396
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:08,750
So Jesus is the same way.

397
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:11,982
Jesus was telling people what
they needed to hear, not what they

398
00:18:12,006 --> 00:18:12,830
wanted to hear.

399
00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:15,166
And my thing is this, Mike Signorelli.

400
00:18:15,198 --> 00:18:19,262
I don't have an opinion, but
my opinion is the Scriptures.

401
00:18:19,406 --> 00:18:22,030
And whatever the scriptures
say, that's what I say.

402
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,318
So I want to show you the Lake
of Fire.

403
00:18:24,454 --> 00:18:25,022
We're going to.

404
00:18:25,046 --> 00:18:26,530
It gets even darker.

405
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:29,950
So if their name was not
written in the Lamb's Book of Life,

406
00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:32,904
they were thrown into the Lake
of Fire.

407
00:18:33,072 --> 00:18:34,728
Now, what is the Lake of Fire?

408
00:18:34,864 --> 00:18:35,832
We don't know.

409
00:18:35,936 --> 00:18:39,016
It's just that John the
Revelator only had one way to explain

410
00:18:39,048 --> 00:18:39,192
it.

411
00:18:39,216 --> 00:18:43,272
He saw a vision, and he was
seeing the dead, which all of us

412
00:18:43,296 --> 00:18:44,408
are in this vision.

413
00:18:44,504 --> 00:18:47,304
And there was all these books
open about their life.

414
00:18:47,392 --> 00:18:50,824
And then there was only one
book that decided everybody's fate

415
00:18:50,872 --> 00:18:53,576
from that threshold forward
called the Book of Life.

416
00:18:53,648 --> 00:18:56,920
And he said, wherever these
people's name whose names were not

417
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,758
in that book are being thrown
into, it just looks like a massive

418
00:19:00,864 --> 00:19:03,350
lake, but a lake of fire.

419
00:19:04,530 --> 00:19:07,834
Now, most preachers, they
won't even tell you this is in the

420
00:19:07,842 --> 00:19:10,266
Bible because they want you to
like them.

421
00:19:10,418 --> 00:19:12,282
But I'm a New York pastor.

422
00:19:12,346 --> 00:19:16,442
I know you don't like me and I
don't like you and I don't like the

423
00:19:16,466 --> 00:19:17,562
way you drive.

424
00:19:17,706 --> 00:19:21,706
And I don't agree and I don't
agree with your politics and I don't

425
00:19:21,738 --> 00:19:24,090
like your breath and I don't
like your outfit.

426
00:19:24,170 --> 00:19:27,018
And I'll fight you in the
parking lot after the sermon's over.

427
00:19:27,074 --> 00:19:28,004
I don't even care.

428
00:19:28,122 --> 00:19:29,568
But I will tell you in love.

429
00:19:29,624 --> 00:19:30,820
Come on, I'm joking.

430
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,780
I saw some guy in the back
start squaring up.

431
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,752
What I'm trying to say is I
don't care if you like me.

432
00:19:38,776 --> 00:19:40,848
I didn't come out here to have
a big church.

433
00:19:41,024 --> 00:19:44,336
Matter of fact, big churches
are some of the fakest churches I've

434
00:19:44,368 --> 00:19:45,424
ever been to.

435
00:19:45,592 --> 00:19:47,072
I don't care if you like me.

436
00:19:47,096 --> 00:19:49,660
I'm trying to show you what
the text says.

437
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,696
The Bible literally says if
your name's not in this book, you're

438
00:19:53,728 --> 00:19:55,440
getting thrown in the lake of fire.

439
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:01,490
And by the way, it says that
if you are a fornicator, an adulterer,

440
00:20:01,570 --> 00:20:06,066
if you're sexually perverse,
if you're prideful, if you're a liar,

441
00:20:06,178 --> 00:20:09,410
it says you also get thrown in
lake of fire.

442
00:20:09,530 --> 00:20:12,390
So this is not my words, this
is his words.

443
00:20:12,730 --> 00:20:16,722
And the reason why I have to
say that is because with Christianity

444
00:20:16,786 --> 00:20:21,970
rising in the United States,
there's an opportunity for not just

445
00:20:22,010 --> 00:20:25,270
Christianity increasing, but
compromise increasing.

446
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:31,036
Because there's a girl who's
an only fan star and this is a basically

447
00:20:31,148 --> 00:20:36,652
self made pornography who has
gone viral recently for saying that

448
00:20:36,676 --> 00:20:42,108
she is a Christian and that
her Christianity is compatible with

449
00:20:42,164 --> 00:20:46,492
onlyfans and she's going to
heaven and she can lead an entire

450
00:20:46,556 --> 00:20:49,804
generation into lust and
perversion and still go to heaven.

451
00:20:49,932 --> 00:20:52,652
So what happens is the
greatest threat to Christianity in

452
00:20:52,676 --> 00:20:55,154
this next season is not Islam.

453
00:20:55,282 --> 00:20:58,050
The greatest threat to
Christianity in this season is not

454
00:20:58,090 --> 00:20:59,074
Eastern religions.

455
00:20:59,122 --> 00:21:00,658
It's not Buddha and Krishna.

456
00:21:00,754 --> 00:21:02,946
It is false light.

457
00:21:03,098 --> 00:21:07,778
It is something masquerading
as true light, but it's false light

458
00:21:07,834 --> 00:21:09,266
because it's compromised.

459
00:21:09,378 --> 00:21:12,866
And the question I came here
to ask you is not if you are a Christian

460
00:21:12,978 --> 00:21:16,562
Because Billy Graham said
standing in a church does not make

461
00:21:16,586 --> 00:21:20,162
you a Christian any more than
standing in your garage makes you

462
00:21:20,186 --> 00:21:20,722
a car.

463
00:21:20,826 --> 00:21:23,366
If you ask people on Long
island, are you a Christian?

464
00:21:23,398 --> 00:21:24,390
Yeah, I'm a Christian.

465
00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:27,206
While they're smoking weed
yeah, I'm a Christian while they're

466
00:21:27,238 --> 00:21:31,654
4 and 5 hard liquor drinks
drunk they're yeah, I'm a Christian

467
00:21:31,702 --> 00:21:33,926
While they're hitting the
crackpipe yeah, I'm the Christian

468
00:21:33,958 --> 00:21:37,478
While I'm sleeping around and
cheating in my life My wife yeah,

469
00:21:37,494 --> 00:21:37,926
I'm a.

470
00:21:37,998 --> 00:21:40,358
See, Christian is not a title.

471
00:21:40,454 --> 00:21:45,718
It is a walk of a narrow road
that says, when the Lord washed me

472
00:21:45,774 --> 00:21:50,320
in the blood, I swear still
want those things but I crucify my

473
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:55,120
flesh because first Jesus died
and then I die like him.

474
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,208
Every single day I pick up my
own cross.

475
00:21:58,304 --> 00:22:01,216
And there's a lot of people
who want to go to church, but there's

476
00:22:01,248 --> 00:22:03,616
only a few people who want to
pick up a cross.

477
00:22:03,728 --> 00:22:06,420
But God's asking, who will
pick up the cross?

478
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,248
I have been.

479
00:22:09,304 --> 00:22:11,600
This is Galatians, chapter 2,
verse 20.

480
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,410
I have been crucified with Christ.

481
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:18,526
So everybody wants Christ to
be crucified, but who wants to hang

482
00:22:18,558 --> 00:22:19,370
with him?

483
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:22,606
And so on Long island, oh,
yeah, I'm a Christian.

484
00:22:22,638 --> 00:22:24,334
The only fan star I'm a Christian.

485
00:22:24,382 --> 00:22:25,166
No, you're not.

486
00:22:25,238 --> 00:22:27,490
You're calling yourself a Christian.

487
00:22:29,030 --> 00:22:29,966
Come on.

488
00:22:30,118 --> 00:22:34,350
And only a generation where
kids go to school in animal costumes

489
00:22:34,430 --> 00:22:37,310
and call themselves furries
would say, I'm a Christian.

490
00:22:37,390 --> 00:22:40,910
See, it's the same thing if
you give yourself any identity you

491
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:41,198
want.

492
00:22:41,254 --> 00:22:43,540
The problem is it's not true.

493
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,820
You can say that you're a
woman, but the men know you're not.

494
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,200
But by that definition, we
have some trans Christians on Long

495
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:03,440
Island, People who own the
title but don't own the DNA of the

496
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,192
kingdom, people who say the
right things but don't know the one

497
00:23:08,216 --> 00:23:09,994
that they're testifying of.

498
00:23:10,192 --> 00:23:13,702
People who I'm telling you, as
a matter of fact, the Bible says

499
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:16,086
that there's going to be
people who are screaming the loudest

500
00:23:16,118 --> 00:23:19,478
during worship, but they're
going to get to this throne and he's

501
00:23:19,494 --> 00:23:22,038
going to say, depart from me,
for I never knew you.

502
00:23:22,174 --> 00:23:25,702
There's going to be people
posting on the gram how spiritual

503
00:23:25,766 --> 00:23:29,734
they are, throwing their
biblical exegesis and all the wisdom

504
00:23:29,782 --> 00:23:30,886
that they think they have.

505
00:23:30,958 --> 00:23:33,398
And in that throne moment,
he's going to say, you knew everything

506
00:23:33,454 --> 00:23:35,490
about me, but you did not know me.

507
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,592
And for as brutal as this is,
let me just show you the ending.

508
00:23:40,736 --> 00:23:43,808
You don't get to write the
final chapter of your story, but

509
00:23:43,864 --> 00:23:45,856
you do get to hand over the pen.

510
00:23:46,048 --> 00:23:49,728
And the reason why I say that
is because this generation is obsessed

511
00:23:49,744 --> 00:23:51,472
with making their own identity.

512
00:23:51,616 --> 00:23:53,360
I'm gonna choose my own gender.

513
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,488
I'm gonna choose my sexuality.

514
00:23:55,584 --> 00:23:57,360
I'm gonna choose who I marry.

515
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,928
I'm gonna choose where I live.

516
00:23:58,984 --> 00:24:00,208
I'm gonna choose.

517
00:24:00,384 --> 00:24:05,352
It's like we are obsessed with
the illusion of the freedom connected

518
00:24:05,416 --> 00:24:06,300
to choice.

519
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:13,672
But see, only true freedom
comes through surrender to Jesus

520
00:24:13,736 --> 00:24:14,340
Christ.

521
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,944
And this is the thing that
people, they first resist it.

522
00:24:20,032 --> 00:24:22,568
No, I'm gonna make myself into something.

523
00:24:22,624 --> 00:24:25,400
I'm gonna make my family, I'm
gonna make my life.

524
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,040
I'm gonna make.

525
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,562
No, this is the thing.

526
00:24:28,666 --> 00:24:32,594
What happens is you'll have
the 2.5 kids.

527
00:24:32,642 --> 00:24:35,330
I don't know what a 5 kid is,
but that's weird.

528
00:24:35,490 --> 00:24:39,430
You'll have a dog, and it's
probably a goldendoodle.

529
00:24:40,330 --> 00:24:41,550
I'm just saying.

530
00:24:43,530 --> 00:24:47,058
And you'll get your car, and
then you'll get your house on Long

531
00:24:47,114 --> 00:24:51,778
island, and you'll be living
your upper middle class life, and

532
00:24:51,834 --> 00:24:53,750
you'll be like, look, I made it.

533
00:24:53,930 --> 00:24:58,974
And then what'll happen is the
emptiness and the void will begin

534
00:24:59,022 --> 00:25:04,130
to open and you'll realize
that there's something still missing.

535
00:25:04,550 --> 00:25:05,790
And this is what I'm talking about.

536
00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:11,374
I just did an interview with a
young man who literally transitioned

537
00:25:11,422 --> 00:25:15,742
into a woman, got multiple
surgeries, and also did all of the

538
00:25:15,846 --> 00:25:19,210
hormonal therapies, went fully
into that life.

539
00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:24,948
And as he continued getting
more surgeries, it just got darker

540
00:25:24,964 --> 00:25:28,040
and darker and he felt emptier
and emptier.

541
00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:31,236
And finally, at the height of
that experience, I mean, he was living

542
00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:35,396
in Miami, where we have a
campus, actually, and he literally

543
00:25:35,428 --> 00:25:37,140
had a whole sugar daddy situation.

544
00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:40,120
And he thought, I'm living
people's fantasy.

545
00:25:40,620 --> 00:25:44,884
And then in the midst of that
situation, he literally, at his emptiest

546
00:25:44,932 --> 00:25:48,760
moment, came back home,
completely broke down, and his sister

547
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,180
said, it's time to come home
to Jesus.

548
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,096
Not only did he come home to
Jesus, but he said, as I continue

549
00:25:55,168 --> 00:25:58,424
to surrender my life to Jesus,
I felt like I needed to go to the

550
00:25:58,432 --> 00:26:00,220
store and get all new clothes.

551
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:04,392
And he got new clothes and he
cut his hair.

552
00:26:04,536 --> 00:26:06,120
And all of a sudden he began
to de.

553
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,968
Transition hormonally, chemically.

554
00:26:09,144 --> 00:26:11,016
Then all of a sudden he began
to go on that journey.

555
00:26:11,048 --> 00:26:13,420
Then he was baptized in the
Holy Spirit.

556
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:18,084
And I just did this whole
interview with him, and now he's

557
00:26:18,132 --> 00:26:21,396
ministering to all these
people to say, I was See, the root

558
00:26:21,428 --> 00:26:25,668
of it was he was trying to
make his own life, make his own identity.

559
00:26:25,764 --> 00:26:30,324
And even at the apex of
success, living out this fantasy,

560
00:26:30,372 --> 00:26:33,812
living out this life, he found
how empty he really was.

561
00:26:33,996 --> 00:26:39,284
I was recently in Tampa doing
a men's event, and this young guy,

562
00:26:39,332 --> 00:26:41,846
he came forward, and he could
barely walk.

563
00:26:41,918 --> 00:26:45,190
Like, he was literally
dragging his leg.

564
00:26:45,230 --> 00:26:46,870
And this guy was helping him
walk up.

565
00:26:46,910 --> 00:26:47,926
And I said, what's.

566
00:26:47,958 --> 00:26:48,630
What's going on?

567
00:26:48,670 --> 00:26:49,318
Why are you here?

568
00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:50,710
Like, why did you come forward?

569
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:53,430
And the kid was crying so
hard, he couldn't even talk.

570
00:26:53,550 --> 00:26:56,950
And the guy who brought him up
said, I'm an evangelist, and I do

571
00:26:56,990 --> 00:27:00,262
street evangelism, and I
preach the gospel and I tell people

572
00:27:00,286 --> 00:27:01,606
about Jesus on the street.

573
00:27:01,678 --> 00:27:05,910
And this young man, he was
walking by with the crowd, but he

574
00:27:05,950 --> 00:27:09,444
came out of the crowd and he
heard about Jesus, and he accepted

575
00:27:09,492 --> 00:27:10,084
Christ.

576
00:27:10,252 --> 00:27:14,100
But then as he walked away,
just several minutes later, he was

577
00:27:14,140 --> 00:27:18,320
hit by a car, and he literally
died right there.

578
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,388
And we have emergency.

579
00:27:20,484 --> 00:27:24,052
Emergency personnel that's
with us when we do these events.

580
00:27:24,116 --> 00:27:28,356
And he said, we went over when
we found out, and we helped resuscitate

581
00:27:28,388 --> 00:27:29,700
him and bring him back.

582
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:32,164
And we literally brought him
back to life.

583
00:27:32,332 --> 00:27:35,172
And he said, now this guy is
serving the Lord because when he

584
00:27:35,196 --> 00:27:37,478
died, he was convicted,
convinced that he made the right

585
00:27:37,534 --> 00:27:39,970
decision to serve Jesus Christ.

586
00:27:40,830 --> 00:27:45,462
And that young man is now
joining him to step in in evangelism,

587
00:27:45,526 --> 00:27:46,690
to tell the world.

588
00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:51,670
But then yesterday, I was on a
bike ride with my daughter Bella,

589
00:27:51,830 --> 00:27:54,598
and we were in Queens, and we.

590
00:27:54,654 --> 00:27:57,078
We decided we were gonna ride
our bike to the park.

591
00:27:57,214 --> 00:28:00,214
And so we got to the park, and
we're riding around, and all of a

592
00:28:00,222 --> 00:28:00,550
sudden, I.

593
00:28:00,590 --> 00:28:05,262
I see the police barricades,
and I see all the police tape, and

594
00:28:05,286 --> 00:28:08,238
this happened in Middle
Village, Queens, yesterday.

595
00:28:08,414 --> 00:28:12,558
And all of a sudden, I go up
and I see this big crowd of people.

596
00:28:12,694 --> 00:28:15,918
And as a pastor, I'm like,
first thing I thought is, can I help?

597
00:28:16,054 --> 00:28:21,022
And all of a sudden, I walk up
to that police tape, and I asked

598
00:28:21,046 --> 00:28:22,766
the guy next to me, I said,
what happened?

599
00:28:22,878 --> 00:28:26,302
Because I saw these bed
sheets, these white bed sheets that

600
00:28:26,326 --> 00:28:28,290
had been tied to a fire truck.

601
00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:31,892
And he said, that fire truck
came around the corner, and there

602
00:28:31,916 --> 00:28:35,012
was a teenage boy on his bike,
and it ran him over, and he died

603
00:28:35,076 --> 00:28:37,400
instantly, and he's still
under the truck.

604
00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:42,868
There's a family in Queens
that is celebrating Easter without

605
00:28:42,924 --> 00:28:44,240
their son today.

606
00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:51,156
And I told my daughter Bella,
I said, one young man accepted Christ,

607
00:28:51,228 --> 00:28:55,604
was hit by a car, died, and
was resuscitated and now is sharing

608
00:28:55,652 --> 00:28:56,968
Jesus with everyone.

609
00:28:57,164 --> 00:29:00,176
And another young man was hit
by a car, died.

610
00:29:00,208 --> 00:29:02,020
And we don't know what happened.

611
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,712
See, even to the young people,
under the sound of my voice, you

612
00:29:07,736 --> 00:29:10,020
don't know when you're going
to take your last breath.

613
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,256
You don't know when it's all over.

614
00:29:12,408 --> 00:29:15,340
Sometimes when you're young,
you think you have all these years,

615
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,168
but I just told you two
stories of young men that did not

616
00:29:19,224 --> 00:29:22,460
know that their life was on
the line.

617
00:29:22,850 --> 00:29:25,674
One of them came back, the
other one didn't come back.

618
00:29:25,842 --> 00:29:29,550
The Bible says it's appointed
to every man once to die.

619
00:29:29,890 --> 00:29:33,466
So that means no matter when
it happens, we're all going to die.

620
00:29:33,658 --> 00:29:37,242
The question is not what's in
the book of your life, because all

621
00:29:37,266 --> 00:29:39,290
of us have sin in that book.

622
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:43,230
Whether you're the young man
that transitions and then detransitions,

623
00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:47,626
whether you're the person
addicted to opiates or drinking alcohol

624
00:29:47,738 --> 00:29:50,038
or secretly involved in adultery.

625
00:29:50,154 --> 00:29:52,974
And you're under the sound of
my voice in this room, actively cheating

626
00:29:53,022 --> 00:29:53,886
in your marriage.

627
00:29:53,998 --> 00:29:57,614
Whatever your story is, I'm
here to tell you all of our stories

628
00:29:57,662 --> 00:29:58,718
are dysfunctional.

629
00:29:58,814 --> 00:30:00,958
All of our stories are stories
of sin.

630
00:30:01,054 --> 00:30:05,374
This is what it comes down to,
is when you get to that last chapter,

631
00:30:05,502 --> 00:30:07,134
you don't get to choose.

632
00:30:07,262 --> 00:30:11,710
But if you've handed the pen
over to Jesus, he gets to write what

633
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:12,446
happens.

634
00:30:12,558 --> 00:30:14,030
He gets to determine.

635
00:30:14,110 --> 00:30:15,930
And that's what this is all about.

636
00:30:16,450 --> 00:30:17,530
Because here's the thing.

637
00:30:17,570 --> 00:30:21,930
We judge people's sin just
because they sin differently than

638
00:30:21,970 --> 00:30:22,506
us.

639
00:30:22,658 --> 00:30:26,554
So I'm not here to judge why
you did it, because it's probably

640
00:30:26,682 --> 00:30:29,914
a response to brokenness and
pain in your life.

641
00:30:30,002 --> 00:30:34,490
But what I am here to do is to
say in an authoritative way that

642
00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:36,378
the word of God is clear.

643
00:30:36,514 --> 00:30:39,034
Is your name in the Lamb's
Book of Life?

644
00:30:39,202 --> 00:30:42,960
With the last few moments, you
might be asking, how?

645
00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:44,960
Okay, preacher, how?

646
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:46,560
Let me tell you.

647
00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:51,908
It says, repent, therefore
turn back, that your sins may be

648
00:30:51,964 --> 00:30:53,108
blotted out.

649
00:30:53,244 --> 00:30:56,564
And I love that imagery of
blotting out, because it's like it's

650
00:30:56,612 --> 00:30:59,236
written, but it can be blotted out.

651
00:30:59,388 --> 00:31:02,500
There's something about the
blood of Jesus that cleanses, that

652
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:07,556
washes, John, chapter 11,
verse 25, says, I am the resurrection

653
00:31:07,588 --> 00:31:08,452
and the life.

654
00:31:08,556 --> 00:31:13,400
Whoever believes in me, though
he die, yet he shall live.

655
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:20,508
See, Billy Graham also said,
famously, that hell was not created

656
00:31:20,524 --> 00:31:21,708
for humans.

657
00:31:21,884 --> 00:31:25,340
If you read the Book of
Revelation, the lake of fire is where

658
00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:28,364
Satan is thrown and all of the demons.

659
00:31:28,492 --> 00:31:31,164
As a matter of fact, I cannot
wait for that moment.

660
00:31:31,212 --> 00:31:35,840
Because I'm gonna be like, na,
na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye.

661
00:31:37,310 --> 00:31:39,894
I might even be like, looking
at the devil like this.

662
00:31:40,062 --> 00:31:42,090
How you like me now, devil?

663
00:31:42,590 --> 00:31:44,502
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

664
00:31:44,686 --> 00:31:47,238
That moment where the devil
gets thrown the lake of fire, you're

665
00:31:47,254 --> 00:31:48,730
like, scream, devil.

666
00:31:49,230 --> 00:31:52,050
Everything you did to me is
coming back to you.

667
00:31:52,430 --> 00:31:57,990
So there's an appointed time
where even Satan and all of his minions

668
00:31:58,070 --> 00:32:00,390
called demons are thrown in
that lake of fire.

669
00:32:00,510 --> 00:32:05,290
Hell was not made for you, but
hell was designed for the disobedient.

670
00:32:06,030 --> 00:32:07,270
So here's the thing.

671
00:32:07,390 --> 00:32:11,290
We've cheapened grace by compromising.

672
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:15,574
We've cheapened by grace by
thinking that we can say yes to Jesus

673
00:32:15,622 --> 00:32:18,294
but continuing to live however
we want to live.

674
00:32:18,462 --> 00:32:21,926
And as a matter of fact, when
you know you've been saved, there's

675
00:32:21,958 --> 00:32:24,166
something that happens in you
that you.

676
00:32:24,238 --> 00:32:25,254
You are like, I can't.

677
00:32:25,302 --> 00:32:25,606
I.

678
00:32:25,678 --> 00:32:28,550
It doesn't mean that my desire
is always different.

679
00:32:28,670 --> 00:32:32,934
I may still feel that pull,
but I don't surrender to the desire.

680
00:32:33,062 --> 00:32:35,098
I surrender to my sav.

681
00:32:35,254 --> 00:32:37,538
And whatever he wants me to
do, I do.

682
00:32:37,594 --> 00:32:40,930
And whatever he says, I said,
there's something about back in the

683
00:32:40,970 --> 00:32:44,082
olden days, I remember growing
up, I'm talking to some of the young

684
00:32:44,106 --> 00:32:44,338
people.

685
00:32:44,394 --> 00:32:47,906
When people got saved, they
started going to church every week.

686
00:32:47,978 --> 00:32:50,994
They started reading their
Bible every week, they started praying

687
00:32:51,042 --> 00:32:51,618
every day.

688
00:32:51,674 --> 00:32:52,642
You know what I'm talking about?

689
00:32:52,666 --> 00:32:54,390
Is anybody here saved?

690
00:32:56,730 --> 00:32:58,790
Come on, is anybody here saved?

691
00:33:00,010 --> 00:33:05,276
Like, truly changed when the
scales would be removed.

692
00:33:05,468 --> 00:33:08,844
That's why I shared that story
of my friend who used to be trans,

693
00:33:08,932 --> 00:33:13,040
because I'm like, we need to
hear stories of true transformation.

694
00:33:14,820 --> 00:33:22,172
So the question today is not,
did Jesus rise?

695
00:33:22,316 --> 00:33:24,520
It's will you rise with him?

696
00:33:25,060 --> 00:33:25,800
Watch.

697
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:29,640
If you die with him, you rise
with him.

698
00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:34,268
If you die to your own
opinion, if you die to your own will,

699
00:33:34,324 --> 00:33:38,012
your own ways, then what
happens is if you share in his death,

700
00:33:38,116 --> 00:33:39,948
you share in his resurrection.

701
00:33:40,044 --> 00:33:42,332
That is the ultimate plan of God.

702
00:34:30,527 --> 00:34:32,891
I want to share one last story
with you.

703
00:34:33,591 --> 00:34:40,175
You know, our church is very
precious, and my wife and I have

704
00:34:40,183 --> 00:34:44,753
made a habit of praying over
the names of the people of our church

705
00:34:44,817 --> 00:34:46,181
across the locations.

706
00:34:47,001 --> 00:34:49,841
And, you know, we.

707
00:34:49,881 --> 00:34:53,825
Recently my heart's been
burdened for discipleship because

708
00:34:53,913 --> 00:34:54,449
let me just.

709
00:34:54,505 --> 00:34:56,337
Again, I'm keeping it 100 with you.

710
00:34:56,409 --> 00:34:57,761
I'm just being transparent.

711
00:34:57,841 --> 00:35:02,353
All across America, pastors
are going to preach a message, and

712
00:35:02,377 --> 00:35:05,105
then they're going to ask
people, raise your hand if you want

713
00:35:05,113 --> 00:35:05,985
to accept Jesus.

714
00:35:06,033 --> 00:35:08,421
And they're going to say,
what's called the sinner's prayer.

715
00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:11,414
And all the pastors are going
to count the hands, and there's going

716
00:35:11,422 --> 00:35:15,062
to be posts all over the
Internet today of how many people

717
00:35:15,166 --> 00:35:16,250
got saved.

718
00:35:16,910 --> 00:35:20,054
And I'm putting that in air
quotes because they count hands,

719
00:35:20,102 --> 00:35:21,290
not disciples.

720
00:35:22,110 --> 00:35:26,550
See, the Bible says there's
this wide road and many people will

721
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:27,590
walk that wide.

722
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:28,598
What's a wide road?

723
00:35:28,654 --> 00:35:33,770
It means that there's room to
swerve, there's room to change lanes.

724
00:35:34,161 --> 00:35:35,625
Come on, I'm talking to somebody.

725
00:35:35,673 --> 00:35:37,113
Y'all are bad drivers out here.

726
00:35:37,137 --> 00:35:37,993
Let me tell you.

727
00:35:38,097 --> 00:35:40,649
Not all of you, but some of
you need to get delivered from that

728
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:41,421
demon.

729
00:35:42,561 --> 00:35:45,513
But you know when you're
swerving and you're just coming in

730
00:35:45,537 --> 00:35:48,025
and out of lanes and, oh,
maybe this is truth.

731
00:35:48,073 --> 00:35:49,129
Maybe that's truth.

732
00:35:49,225 --> 00:35:52,729
But then the Bible says
there's this narrow road, and only

733
00:35:52,785 --> 00:35:54,809
a few will walk the narrow road.

734
00:35:54,945 --> 00:35:58,889
See, the narrow road are the
ones that live their lives so different

735
00:35:58,945 --> 00:36:01,433
than the world that the world
thinks they're bigots.

736
00:36:01,497 --> 00:36:03,129
The world thinks they're prideful.

737
00:36:03,225 --> 00:36:04,345
The world thinks that they're.

738
00:36:04,393 --> 00:36:05,645
Oh, they're religious.

739
00:36:05,753 --> 00:36:07,301
The world thinks that they're
in a cult.

740
00:36:07,421 --> 00:36:09,041
The world think, Come on.

741
00:36:09,421 --> 00:36:12,933
That road is so narrow, it
says only a few will walk it.

742
00:36:13,117 --> 00:36:18,421
And so the thing is, today
what I feel is we need to count disciples,

743
00:36:18,501 --> 00:36:19,881
not count hands.

744
00:36:20,301 --> 00:36:23,109
And because there's a lot of
people who say the sinner's prayer

745
00:36:23,125 --> 00:36:24,549
and then start an only fans.

746
00:36:24,645 --> 00:36:26,981
There's a lot of people who
say the sinner's prayer but never

747
00:36:27,021 --> 00:36:27,941
come back to church.

748
00:36:28,021 --> 00:36:30,501
There's a lot of people who
say the sinner's prayer but keep

749
00:36:30,541 --> 00:36:36,013
on sinning and getting saved
doesn't make you sin, like, completely

750
00:36:36,077 --> 00:36:40,813
sinless, but it will help you
sin less as you become sanctified.

751
00:36:40,957 --> 00:36:44,893
And you need to be surrounded
by people around you who say, I want

752
00:36:44,917 --> 00:36:47,453
to help you walk this narrow
path with me.

753
00:36:47,637 --> 00:36:50,061
We need mothers and fathers in
the faith.

754
00:36:50,221 --> 00:36:54,605
We need the older generation
to say, hey, I had a divorce too,

755
00:36:54,773 --> 00:36:56,685
but God used that brokenness.

756
00:36:56,733 --> 00:36:58,629
And let me walk you through
this divorce.

757
00:36:58,765 --> 00:37:02,293
And you need somebody to grab
your hand and to say, I had a miscarriage

758
00:37:02,357 --> 00:37:05,301
too, and I had broken
expectations, and I'm gonna walk

759
00:37:05,341 --> 00:37:06,277
your hand through this.

760
00:37:06,349 --> 00:37:10,069
You need some men to say, hey,
you never had a biological father,

761
00:37:10,165 --> 00:37:12,837
but as a man, I'm gonna look
you in your eyes and say, I'm proud

762
00:37:12,869 --> 00:37:14,437
of you for praying for your wife.

763
00:37:14,549 --> 00:37:16,741
I'm proud of you for having a
godly family.

764
00:37:16,861 --> 00:37:19,109
And that's called discipleship.

765
00:37:19,285 --> 00:37:21,121
Anybody Know what I'm talking about?

766
00:37:22,861 --> 00:37:26,775
So I got so burdened with this
because I don't want our church to

767
00:37:26,783 --> 00:37:27,651
be a show.

768
00:37:29,311 --> 00:37:33,111
I didn't come out here and
sacrifice everything so that our

769
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:34,919
church can be just another show.

770
00:37:35,055 --> 00:37:37,051
If you want a show, go to Broadway.

771
00:37:37,631 --> 00:37:39,771
As a matter of fact, it's
called Broadway.

772
00:37:40,671 --> 00:37:42,571
But there's a way that's narrow.

773
00:37:43,151 --> 00:37:45,127
See, this is like, if there's.

774
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:45,655
If there's.

775
00:37:45,703 --> 00:37:47,735
If there's anything, we're the
opposite of Broadway.

776
00:37:47,783 --> 00:37:49,091
We're the narrow way.

777
00:37:49,471 --> 00:37:51,491
Do you want to come walk it
with us?

778
00:37:52,371 --> 00:37:58,603
And so what happened was I had
debuted this discipleship class at

779
00:37:58,627 --> 00:38:01,151
all of our locations called
the Breakers.

780
00:38:01,731 --> 00:38:05,403
And because in every family,
there's somebody who's destined to

781
00:38:05,427 --> 00:38:09,163
be the generational bloodline
curse breaker.

782
00:38:09,307 --> 00:38:11,803
In every family, there's
somebody who says, it may run in

783
00:38:11,827 --> 00:38:13,991
my family, but I'm where it
runs out.

784
00:38:14,371 --> 00:38:18,791
You know, there was spousal
abuse and anger and rage in my bloodline.

785
00:38:18,971 --> 00:38:21,295
And I tried to bring it into
my marriage.

786
00:38:21,423 --> 00:38:24,703
And I would punch holes in the
wall, and I would throw dishes, and

787
00:38:24,727 --> 00:38:26,079
I would cuss my wife out.

788
00:38:26,135 --> 00:38:29,807
And I was filled with so much
rage, and I had to rise up and say,

789
00:38:29,879 --> 00:38:32,607
this may run in my family, but
I'm where it runs out.

790
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:35,759
I may have been born this way,
but I'm going to be born again.

791
00:38:35,895 --> 00:38:38,703
And my name's going to be
written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

792
00:38:38,807 --> 00:38:41,903
Not because I'm good, but
because he's good.

793
00:38:42,087 --> 00:38:45,931
Not because of what I've done,
but because of what he's done.

794
00:38:46,311 --> 00:38:50,159
And maybe that's like you, the
generational curse breaker.

795
00:38:50,335 --> 00:38:54,239
So there's this woman, and her
name was Katrina.

796
00:38:54,415 --> 00:38:56,991
And Katrina was at our Indiana location.

797
00:38:57,151 --> 00:38:59,327
And she signed up to be a breaker.

798
00:38:59,439 --> 00:39:02,783
And she was a dear, precious
member of our church.

799
00:39:02,927 --> 00:39:05,375
She was going to school to get
a doctorate in theology.

800
00:39:05,503 --> 00:39:06,511
Brilliant woman.

801
00:39:06,631 --> 00:39:10,591
But she submitted herself to
go through this process of discipleship.

802
00:39:10,751 --> 00:39:13,223
And when people sign up, they
get a bracelet.

803
00:39:13,407 --> 00:39:16,583
And the bracelet says, I am a breaker.

804
00:39:16,727 --> 00:39:20,711
And we ask that people wear it
for the entire duration of that eight

805
00:39:20,751 --> 00:39:21,331
weeks.

806
00:39:21,631 --> 00:39:25,303
Because we're gonna ask them
to be completely sober and to get

807
00:39:25,327 --> 00:39:28,439
into one of the classes that
we have for addiction recovery.

808
00:39:28,535 --> 00:39:31,911
Cause we have zooms and
classes where people can get free

809
00:39:31,951 --> 00:39:35,495
from addiction to alcohol and
cigarettes and all kinds of various

810
00:39:35,543 --> 00:39:35,799
things.

811
00:39:35,855 --> 00:39:36,871
Pornography.

812
00:39:37,031 --> 00:39:38,023
And people are getting free.

813
00:39:38,047 --> 00:39:40,695
And we're gonna say, for the
next 40 days, don't take this bracelet

814
00:39:40,743 --> 00:39:43,799
off, because you are going to
become a breaker.

815
00:39:43,975 --> 00:39:46,679
But we're also asking that you
read The Bible every day.

816
00:39:46,735 --> 00:39:49,287
And people say, I don't
understand the Bible, but we teach

817
00:39:49,319 --> 00:39:51,175
you how to read it and
understand it.

818
00:39:51,263 --> 00:39:53,575
And then we assign a growth
coach to you.

819
00:39:53,663 --> 00:39:57,431
And that growth coach, they
come alongside of you and they help

820
00:39:57,471 --> 00:39:59,143
you pray and get on your feet.

821
00:39:59,207 --> 00:40:02,231
Then what happens when it's
over is you start all these new habits,

822
00:40:02,311 --> 00:40:04,039
and your life has changed forever.

823
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:09,141
So what happened was today,
and this is a bittersweet moment,

824
00:40:09,801 --> 00:40:14,929
today is actually the
celebration of the graduation of

825
00:40:14,985 --> 00:40:18,113
hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds of breakers around the entire

826
00:40:18,177 --> 00:40:22,821
world that signed up to be
discipled here in New York and abroad.

827
00:40:23,241 --> 00:40:27,201
And so today's the actual
graduation ceremony.

828
00:40:27,361 --> 00:40:29,617
But let me tell you what
actually happened.

829
00:40:29,809 --> 00:40:36,635
Katrina was pregnant, and she
went to go deliver the baby.

830
00:40:36,763 --> 00:40:42,475
She was in labor, and she went
to the hospital, and as she was struggling

831
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:46,671
with the pains of labor, you
know, she was scared.

832
00:40:47,091 --> 00:40:51,291
And she actually told her
husband about her concerns and her

833
00:40:51,331 --> 00:40:51,643
fears.

834
00:40:51,707 --> 00:40:54,683
And he was like, babe, I'm
here with you.

835
00:40:54,867 --> 00:40:58,363
And all of a sudden, you know,
she just said, you know what?

836
00:40:58,387 --> 00:40:59,831
I'm going to go V1.

837
00:41:00,201 --> 00:41:01,441
No turning back.

838
00:41:01,561 --> 00:41:04,833
For those of you who don't
know what V1 means, if you've ever

839
00:41:04,857 --> 00:41:08,209
been in an airplane, as the
airplane is headed down the Runway,

840
00:41:08,305 --> 00:41:12,337
the moment where it takes off
the Runway, when the plane lifts

841
00:41:12,369 --> 00:41:13,953
off, that's called v1.

842
00:41:14,057 --> 00:41:15,537
It means the point of no return.

843
00:41:15,609 --> 00:41:17,457
It means this thing's going to fly.

844
00:41:17,649 --> 00:41:20,321
So she was literally telling
her husband, this is some of her

845
00:41:20,361 --> 00:41:21,381
last words.

846
00:41:21,881 --> 00:41:23,581
I'm going V1.

847
00:41:24,041 --> 00:41:25,761
That baby was delivered.

848
00:41:25,921 --> 00:41:27,521
That baby's healthy.

849
00:41:27,681 --> 00:41:29,861
That baby is a V1 baby.

850
00:41:30,761 --> 00:41:35,021
But unfortunately, Katrina
passed away just a few weeks ago,

851
00:41:36,521 --> 00:41:39,537
and it was devastating to our church.

852
00:41:39,649 --> 00:41:45,221
We've cried many tears, and I
couldn't be at the funeral in Indiana.

853
00:41:45,881 --> 00:41:50,305
But Pastor Josh, our exec
pastor, went and he called me when

854
00:41:50,313 --> 00:41:50,673
it was over.

855
00:41:50,697 --> 00:41:53,879
And I was like, josh, I just
want to know, are they covered?

856
00:41:54,025 --> 00:41:54,555
Do they know?

857
00:41:54,563 --> 00:41:55,339
We love him?

858
00:41:55,475 --> 00:41:59,323
He said, pastor Mike, when I
went into that funeral, he said,

859
00:41:59,347 --> 00:42:02,059
there were V1 church people
everywhere, just loving each other,

860
00:42:02,115 --> 00:42:05,755
holding each other, embracing
each other, speaking words of affirmation

861
00:42:05,803 --> 00:42:06,827
into each other.

862
00:42:06,979 --> 00:42:08,779
But then Josh tried to tell me something.

863
00:42:08,835 --> 00:42:09,963
He kept getting choked up.

864
00:42:09,987 --> 00:42:11,431
He couldn't even say it.

865
00:42:12,211 --> 00:42:16,011
He said, mike, you know when
you go to funerals, you walk past

866
00:42:16,051 --> 00:42:20,031
the pictures that the family
sets out of their life.

867
00:42:20,211 --> 00:42:22,775
And I was thinking about this
sermon as I was preparing.

868
00:42:22,823 --> 00:42:28,775
The book of Katrina's life had
been written, and those pictures

869
00:42:28,823 --> 00:42:33,191
that you put up are the visual
representation of the book that was

870
00:42:33,231 --> 00:42:34,691
written about your life.

871
00:42:35,471 --> 00:42:39,479
And her book closed.

872
00:42:39,655 --> 00:42:41,291
That book closed.

873
00:42:42,191 --> 00:42:45,911
He said, but, Mike, when I
came around the corner and I came

874
00:42:45,951 --> 00:42:49,841
up to her casket, I looked
into the casket and I looked down,

875
00:42:49,881 --> 00:42:53,041
and I saw on her wrist that
bracelet that we give out that says,

876
00:42:53,081 --> 00:42:54,501
I am a breaker.

877
00:42:55,641 --> 00:42:58,801
And he said I had to ask her
husband, why is that bracelet on

878
00:42:58,841 --> 00:42:59,421
her?

879
00:42:59,801 --> 00:43:02,273
And he said, because when we
were in the hospital, they said,

880
00:43:02,297 --> 00:43:05,425
you have to take everything
off and only put this hospital gown

881
00:43:05,473 --> 00:43:05,921
on.

882
00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:10,945
But she refused to take the
bracelet off because she made a commitment

883
00:43:10,993 --> 00:43:12,679
to become a disciple.

884
00:43:12,825 --> 00:43:16,011
And they said, katrina, the
nurses tried to say, we just.

885
00:43:16,051 --> 00:43:18,235
It's a protocol to take
everything off.

886
00:43:18,323 --> 00:43:21,531
And she said, I will not take
this bracelet off.

887
00:43:21,651 --> 00:43:22,955
I am a breaker.

888
00:43:23,003 --> 00:43:25,643
I made the decision to wear this.

889
00:43:25,747 --> 00:43:26,971
I'm not taking it off.

890
00:43:27,011 --> 00:43:30,267
And she literally died with
that bracelet on her wrist.

891
00:43:30,379 --> 00:43:32,459
But I've got good news for you.

892
00:43:32,595 --> 00:43:34,555
She also graduated.

893
00:43:34,683 --> 00:43:36,955
She graduated ahead of her class.

894
00:43:37,123 --> 00:43:39,035
She graduated to glory.

895
00:43:39,163 --> 00:43:40,991
She graduated to heaven.

896
00:43:41,131 --> 00:43:42,791
And she is a breaker.

897
00:43:42,871 --> 00:43:46,247
And she left a heritage to
that baby that was born.

898
00:43:46,359 --> 00:43:49,959
And as a church, we're all
coming together to say, even though

899
00:43:50,015 --> 00:43:53,575
her book closed, there's going
to be thousands around the world,

900
00:43:53,663 --> 00:43:55,511
that another page is turned.

901
00:43:55,591 --> 00:44:00,151
And somebody else today is
going to say, I'm going to join Katrina

902
00:44:00,231 --> 00:44:05,447
in becoming a breaker, because
my story's not done yet, and if I'm

903
00:44:05,479 --> 00:44:07,257
not dead, I'm not done.

904
00:44:07,399 --> 00:44:10,561
Can you all rise up to your
feet with me right now?

905
00:44:11,021 --> 00:44:15,269
And I want you to just put
your hands together for Katrina as

906
00:44:15,325 --> 00:44:17,961
a life well lived in the faith.

907
00:44:18,301 --> 00:44:25,317
She died with the certainty of
a decision she made, and we honor

908
00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:26,241
her life.

909
00:44:31,501 --> 00:44:35,121
That bracelet said, I am breaker.

910
00:44:37,061 --> 00:44:41,001
Now, here's the thing I want
to ask you.

911
00:44:41,621 --> 00:44:47,005
As many of you been feeling a
groaning, a travailing, a deep desire

912
00:44:47,053 --> 00:44:50,509
for something to change, I want.

913
00:44:50,565 --> 00:44:53,821
I'm not going to ask, who
wants to say this sinner's prayer

914
00:44:53,901 --> 00:44:57,117
and then go to the Easter
lunch, and three hours from now,

915
00:44:57,189 --> 00:45:00,115
you're asleep on a couch and
your whole life is the same.

916
00:45:00,173 --> 00:45:00,535
Same.

917
00:45:00,623 --> 00:45:03,527
I'm asking, who wants to walk
the narrow path?

918
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:06,391
Who wants to actually pick up
their cross?

919
00:45:06,471 --> 00:45:08,391
And who wants to be discipled?

920
00:45:08,471 --> 00:45:10,487
Who wants to read their Bible
with me?

921
00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:12,135
Who wants to pray with me?

922
00:45:12,223 --> 00:45:14,727
Who wants to learn the sacred path?

923
00:45:14,839 --> 00:45:16,743
Who wants to abandon the world?

924
00:45:16,847 --> 00:45:19,079
Who wants to leave the world behind?

925
00:45:19,215 --> 00:45:23,063
And who wants to come to the
cross of Jesus Christ and say, I

926
00:45:23,087 --> 00:45:25,127
want to be one of those believers.

927
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,059
I want to be like a Jesus, Trina.

928
00:45:27,155 --> 00:45:29,491
I want to be the breaker in my family.

929
00:45:29,611 --> 00:45:33,571
Who wants to step past
mediocrity, and they want to see

930
00:45:33,611 --> 00:45:38,019
that potential that's on the
inside of them, come alive and say,

931
00:45:38,075 --> 00:45:41,107
God, there's a reason why I
didn't kill myself.

932
00:45:41,219 --> 00:45:44,227
There's a reason why I didn't
die in the car accident.

933
00:45:44,339 --> 00:45:48,019
There's a reason why I had
multiple miscarriages, but I'm still

934
00:45:48,075 --> 00:45:49,443
coming to church today.

935
00:45:49,547 --> 00:45:53,203
There's a reason why I had
divorces and domestic violence, but

936
00:45:53,227 --> 00:45:55,371
I'm still, still lifting my
hands in worship.

937
00:45:55,451 --> 00:45:58,791
And I want to live out the
fullness of my book.

938
00:46:00,851 --> 00:46:04,231
And I want my name written in
the Lamb's book of life.

939
00:46:05,011 --> 00:46:06,763
So here's what we're going to do.

940
00:46:06,947 --> 00:46:10,411
And the Lord told me to do
this, and if you don't believe that,

941
00:46:10,451 --> 00:46:11,131
that's on you.

942
00:46:11,171 --> 00:46:13,631
But I feel deeply convicted.

943
00:46:14,531 --> 00:46:17,723
And I've mentioned Billy
Graham two times in this service

944
00:46:17,907 --> 00:46:21,551
because the Lord told me that
the mantle of Billy Graham is still

945
00:46:21,591 --> 00:46:22,891
in the earth today.

946
00:46:23,431 --> 00:46:27,183
But see, Billy Graham, there
was a moment of decision that was

947
00:46:27,207 --> 00:46:29,611
made, but he would call people
to come forward.

948
00:46:29,911 --> 00:46:33,631
And today I want to
inconvenience you, because if you

949
00:46:33,671 --> 00:46:38,207
can't get out of your seat to
come forward to a front altar section,

950
00:46:38,319 --> 00:46:41,551
it's going to be so much
harder to come out from among them

951
00:46:41,591 --> 00:46:43,583
and be separate in the world.

952
00:46:43,767 --> 00:46:47,267
And so I believe that there's
a tangible decision that's made.

953
00:46:47,399 --> 00:46:51,707
I believe that in order to be
saved, Jesus would call the disciples

954
00:46:51,819 --> 00:46:52,891
and watch.

955
00:46:53,011 --> 00:46:57,355
They had to stop being
fishermen to become fishers of men.

956
00:46:57,443 --> 00:47:00,795
And they had to leave the nets
and leave the boat behind.

957
00:47:00,963 --> 00:47:03,243
Sometimes you have to
physically walk up.

958
00:47:03,347 --> 00:47:06,971
And last service, somebody's
dad came forward that they never

959
00:47:07,011 --> 00:47:08,347
thought would come forward.

960
00:47:08,499 --> 00:47:10,571
Last service, someone's uncle
came forward.

961
00:47:10,611 --> 00:47:13,803
There were grown men bawling
their eyes out under the power of

962
00:47:13,827 --> 00:47:16,155
God, saying, I want to be a
real one.

963
00:47:16,243 --> 00:47:17,717
I want to be a disciple.

964
00:47:17,859 --> 00:47:21,665
So I'm gonna count to three,
because in this service, I want to

965
00:47:21,673 --> 00:47:25,649
know who's ready to go with me
to become the breaker in their family,

966
00:47:25,785 --> 00:47:27,633
and who's saying, enough is enough.

967
00:47:27,737 --> 00:47:29,281
I'm deciding for Heaven.

968
00:47:29,361 --> 00:47:33,329
And by the way, I am not
getting thrown in the lake of fire.

969
00:47:33,465 --> 00:47:35,809
That is not my final destination.

970
00:47:35,985 --> 00:47:40,497
I will rule and reign with
God, and I will be in the new heaven

971
00:47:40,529 --> 00:47:41,233
and new Earth.

972
00:47:41,297 --> 00:47:45,095
And I know my destiny is
sealed by the blood of the Lamb.

973
00:47:45,193 --> 00:47:48,075
And when I count to three, I
want you to physically move out of

974
00:47:48,083 --> 00:47:52,859
your seat and come forward,
and hell is gonna lose you as its

975
00:47:52,915 --> 00:47:53,723
property.

976
00:47:53,867 --> 00:47:58,075
Hell is gonna lose the legal
right to you and every demon's gonna

977
00:47:58,123 --> 00:48:01,351
have to let you go, and you
are gonna be free.

978
00:48:01,651 --> 00:48:02,667
Come on.

979
00:48:02,819 --> 00:48:07,467
So, one, the Holy Spirit's
been working on you the entire service.

980
00:48:07,619 --> 00:48:09,659
You knew today was the day.

981
00:48:09,795 --> 00:48:14,363
Two, he's already confirmed so
much today, and now is the time to

982
00:48:14,387 --> 00:48:18,493
respond, and he'll even give
you the boldness to step out of the

983
00:48:18,517 --> 00:48:19,437
aisle and to come.

984
00:48:19,509 --> 00:48:21,021
Three, come now.

985
00:48:21,141 --> 00:48:22,189
Come on, if that's you.

986
00:48:22,245 --> 00:48:23,757
Three, just come forward.

987
00:48:23,909 --> 00:48:24,941
Young and old.

988
00:48:25,061 --> 00:48:25,581
Come on.

989
00:48:25,621 --> 00:48:27,821
Come forward if that's you.

990
00:48:27,941 --> 00:48:28,237
Yeah.

991
00:48:28,269 --> 00:48:28,621
Come on.

992
00:48:28,661 --> 00:48:29,149
Make room.

993
00:48:29,205 --> 00:48:32,281
Just come up across every
location right now.

994
00:48:33,621 --> 00:48:34,221
Come on.

995
00:48:34,261 --> 00:48:35,773
Just keep pressing in.

996
00:48:35,957 --> 00:48:36,721
Wow.

997
00:48:37,301 --> 00:48:37,901
Come on.

998
00:48:37,941 --> 00:48:38,925
Keep pressing in.

999
00:48:39,013 --> 00:48:40,669
Even if there's not enough room.

1000
00:48:40,805 --> 00:48:42,685
We'll come in around the sides.

1001
00:48:42,813 --> 00:48:45,069
Yeah, they're coming all the
way from the balcony.

1002
00:48:45,165 --> 00:48:45,533
Come on.

1003
00:48:45,557 --> 00:48:46,769
We'll make room.

1004
00:48:46,965 --> 00:48:47,481
Make room.

1005
00:48:47,521 --> 00:48:48,821
Keep pressing in.

1006
00:48:51,201 --> 00:48:51,981
Wow.

1007
00:48:54,241 --> 00:48:54,841
Come on.

1008
00:48:54,881 --> 00:48:55,961
Keep pressing in.

1009
00:48:56,081 --> 00:48:59,769
Even if you gotta stand in
denial, whatever it takes.

1010
00:48:59,945 --> 00:49:04,873
The Bible says that if we deny
Christ before men, then God will

1011
00:49:04,897 --> 00:49:08,941
deny us before everybody at
this throne room situation.

1012
00:49:09,521 --> 00:49:11,721
So we gotta come out public
with this.

1013
00:49:11,841 --> 00:49:12,265
Come on.

1014
00:49:12,273 --> 00:49:13,001
They're still coming.

1015
00:49:13,041 --> 00:49:14,201
They're still, still coming.

1016
00:49:14,321 --> 00:49:15,065
Come forward.

1017
00:49:15,153 --> 00:49:17,369
Come, come, come, come.

1018
00:49:17,505 --> 00:49:17,961
Come on.

1019
00:49:18,001 --> 00:49:18,217
Don't.

1020
00:49:18,249 --> 00:49:20,169
Don't feel like you have to
hold back.

1021
00:49:20,305 --> 00:49:22,601
As many of you as there are
just coming to the front.

1022
00:49:22,641 --> 00:49:24,697
Just pack in all the way up to
the stage.

1023
00:49:24,809 --> 00:49:27,689
If you need to take a step
forward, just take a step forward

1024
00:49:27,745 --> 00:49:29,061
so there's more room.

1025
00:49:30,401 --> 00:49:31,161
Wow.

1026
00:49:31,321 --> 00:49:31,833
Come on.

1027
00:49:31,857 --> 00:49:33,381
They're continuing to come.

1028
00:49:34,481 --> 00:49:36,217
They're continuing to come.

1029
00:49:36,369 --> 00:49:38,297
These are people's cousins.

1030
00:49:38,489 --> 00:49:42,581
These are people's aunts and
uncles, people's grandparents.

1031
00:49:43,881 --> 00:49:44,661
Wow.

1032
00:49:46,681 --> 00:49:47,185
Continue.

1033
00:49:47,273 --> 00:49:50,221
I'm gonna wait a little while
to let everybody make this decision.

1034
00:49:50,521 --> 00:49:53,421
Come here, hold my hand.

1035
00:49:54,201 --> 00:49:58,101
What's your name, huh?

1036
00:49:59,001 --> 00:50:00,193
Amaterio.

1037
00:50:00,337 --> 00:50:01,421
Who is this?

1038
00:50:02,121 --> 00:50:04,821
That's your son, Omar.

1039
00:50:06,121 --> 00:50:07,479
You know what's funny?

1040
00:50:07,625 --> 00:50:11,451
Because you guys can't see
this, but you're just weeping right

1041
00:50:11,491 --> 00:50:12,027
now.

1042
00:50:12,179 --> 00:50:15,511
But your son is smiling from
ear to ear.

1043
00:50:16,451 --> 00:50:17,371
And I want to tell.

1044
00:50:17,411 --> 00:50:20,871
I've told this story many
times, but this is why we do this.

1045
00:50:21,651 --> 00:50:27,051
My biological father is dead,
but he was in a service just like

1046
00:50:27,091 --> 00:50:27,579
this.

1047
00:50:27,715 --> 00:50:30,871
And the preacher gave an
opportunity to come forward.

1048
00:50:31,171 --> 00:50:32,043
And my mother.

1049
00:50:32,107 --> 00:50:33,271
Where you at, Mom?

1050
00:50:33,791 --> 00:50:35,651
My mother, who's right here.

1051
00:50:36,111 --> 00:50:37,731
Did you not beg him?

1052
00:50:38,271 --> 00:50:41,143
She begged my dad, please go forward.

1053
00:50:41,327 --> 00:50:45,251
And he just clutched the front
of his seat and would not come.

1054
00:50:46,271 --> 00:50:50,663
And the reason why my soul
rejoices is because when you made

1055
00:50:50,687 --> 00:50:54,023
the decision to come forward
and you're weeping, you made the

1056
00:50:54,047 --> 00:50:57,303
decision that my own
biological father didn't make.

1057
00:50:57,487 --> 00:51:01,081
And I honor you and I honor
your decision.

1058
00:51:01,381 --> 00:51:04,621
And you may feel like there's
some areas in life that you have

1059
00:51:04,661 --> 00:51:08,221
failed, but I just want to say
in front of everyone, and I'm saying

1060
00:51:08,261 --> 00:51:11,757
this not from Mike Signorelli,
but from your heavenly father.

1061
00:51:11,869 --> 00:51:13,245
I'm proud of you.

1062
00:51:13,413 --> 00:51:14,845
I'm proud of you.

1063
00:51:15,013 --> 00:51:16,445
I'm proud of you.

1064
00:51:16,613 --> 00:51:21,245
All of Long island would be
saved if more fathers and husbands

1065
00:51:21,293 --> 00:51:26,761
rose up like this to say, as
for me and my house, we will.

1066
00:51:27,851 --> 00:51:28,911
Come on.

1067
00:51:29,771 --> 00:51:33,991
As for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord.

1068
00:51:34,811 --> 00:51:35,283
Come on.

1069
00:51:35,307 --> 00:51:36,191
There's more.

1070
00:51:37,771 --> 00:51:41,043
I want to be a little
persistent, though.

1071
00:51:41,227 --> 00:51:43,603
Is there anybody else before
we pray?

1072
00:51:43,747 --> 00:51:45,411
That's out there in the crowd.

1073
00:51:45,571 --> 00:51:46,083
That's like.

1074
00:51:46,107 --> 00:51:48,211
I feel like I'm supposed to
come up.

1075
00:51:48,331 --> 00:51:50,435
I'm just going to give you 30 seconds.

1076
00:51:50,563 --> 00:51:53,121
There's something about
walking out of the crowd.

1077
00:51:53,291 --> 00:51:55,685
There's something about
stepping forward, getting out of

1078
00:51:55,693 --> 00:51:56,165
your seat.

1079
00:51:56,213 --> 00:51:57,801
Is there anybody else?

1080
00:51:58,141 --> 00:52:01,161
I'm going to give you 30 seconds.

1081
00:52:04,461 --> 00:52:06,001
Yeah, there's some coming.

1082
00:52:07,981 --> 00:52:09,201
There's some coming.

1083
00:52:13,821 --> 00:52:14,601
Wow.

1084
00:52:15,661 --> 00:52:16,441
Wow.

1085
00:52:17,981 --> 00:52:18,357
Yeah.

1086
00:52:18,389 --> 00:52:19,241
This guy.

1087
00:52:20,471 --> 00:52:21,119
Come on.

1088
00:52:21,175 --> 00:52:22,731
Come all the way up to the front.

1089
00:52:23,991 --> 00:52:25,691
Come all the way up to the front.

1090
00:52:26,391 --> 00:52:27,171
Wow.

1091
00:52:33,191 --> 00:52:34,051
Yeah.

1092
00:52:34,871 --> 00:52:38,811
The tug of war for your soul
is over today.

1093
00:52:39,191 --> 00:52:40,415
The tug of war.

1094
00:52:40,503 --> 00:52:42,415
You've been pulled like this.

1095
00:52:42,583 --> 00:52:44,479
Light and dark pulling you.

1096
00:52:44,535 --> 00:52:46,223
Light and dark pulling you.

1097
00:52:46,327 --> 00:52:48,769
And the enemy wanted you so badly.

1098
00:52:48,865 --> 00:52:52,385
But when you stepped out of
your seat, the war for your soul

1099
00:52:52,433 --> 00:52:53,329
is over.

1100
00:52:53,465 --> 00:52:57,425
And you belong to the king and
you will never go back.

1101
00:52:57,513 --> 00:53:01,137
And when you walk down, I
heard the Lord say, you will never

1102
00:53:01,209 --> 00:53:01,953
go back.

1103
00:53:02,057 --> 00:53:03,457
You will never go back.

1104
00:53:03,529 --> 00:53:06,113
And I see the tears in your
eyes right now.

1105
00:53:06,217 --> 00:53:09,825
But the Lord showed me that
one year from now, you're going to

1106
00:53:09,833 --> 00:53:11,201
be at Easter Sunday.

1107
00:53:11,321 --> 00:53:12,961
This is a prophetic word.

1108
00:53:13,041 --> 00:53:15,881
And I see you happy and filled
with joy.

1109
00:53:15,961 --> 00:53:20,713
And the Lord says, son, give
me one year and see what I will do

1110
00:53:20,737 --> 00:53:21,593
with your life.

1111
00:53:21,697 --> 00:53:25,993
For in one year, I will make
your life unrecognizable.

1112
00:53:26,137 --> 00:53:29,609
And the Lord says, some of
your dreams are going to die because

1113
00:53:29,665 --> 00:53:31,113
they're not my dreams.

1114
00:53:31,177 --> 00:53:34,681
But other dreams are going to
live because they are my dreams.

1115
00:53:34,761 --> 00:53:38,217
And I heard the Lord say,
you're breaking through now to step

1116
00:53:38,289 --> 00:53:39,625
into your destiny.

1117
00:53:39,753 --> 00:53:41,137
Today is the day.

1118
00:53:41,329 --> 00:53:42,781
Today is the day.

1119
00:53:43,801 --> 00:53:45,621
Okay, we're all about to pray.

1120
00:53:52,441 --> 00:53:53,633
Who is this?

1121
00:53:53,817 --> 00:53:55,421
How are you guys related?

1122
00:53:57,561 --> 00:53:58,705
That's your grandmother.

1123
00:53:58,753 --> 00:53:59,741
What's your name?

1124
00:54:00,201 --> 00:54:00,785
Connie.

1125
00:54:00,833 --> 00:54:04,161
You are so precious, and you
look beautiful on this Easter.

1126
00:54:04,321 --> 00:54:05,741
And what was your name?

1127
00:54:06,291 --> 00:54:07,791
Danny and Connie.

1128
00:54:08,211 --> 00:54:08,991
Wow.

1129
00:54:09,891 --> 00:54:12,331
Generations are literally
holding themselves.

1130
00:54:12,411 --> 00:54:16,507
The grandmother with a
granddaughter here up at the front.

1131
00:54:16,659 --> 00:54:18,471
Isn't it a beautiful thing?

1132
00:54:18,851 --> 00:54:19,275
Wow.

1133
00:54:19,323 --> 00:54:20,831
You look so emotional.

1134
00:54:21,811 --> 00:54:23,951
Have you been believing for
this moment?

1135
00:54:26,051 --> 00:54:26,911
Yeah.

1136
00:54:27,251 --> 00:54:28,027
God did.

1137
00:54:28,099 --> 00:54:29,511
He did it, didn't he?

1138
00:54:29,971 --> 00:54:31,671
God did it, didn't he?

1139
00:54:32,061 --> 00:54:33,681
What's he going to do next?

1140
00:54:34,781 --> 00:54:35,477
So much.

1141
00:54:35,549 --> 00:54:36,309
Yeah.

1142
00:54:36,485 --> 00:54:38,241
You know what I want to say to you?

1143
00:54:38,781 --> 00:54:39,881
Have faith.

1144
00:54:40,621 --> 00:54:42,837
Have faith like a mustard seed.

1145
00:54:42,949 --> 00:54:44,661
And you'll speak to that mountain.

1146
00:54:44,741 --> 00:54:46,757
Move and the whole mountain
will move.

1147
00:54:46,909 --> 00:54:49,061
The Lord's going to give you
more faith.

1148
00:54:49,221 --> 00:54:51,685
When you walked up here, he's
increasing your faith.

1149
00:54:51,733 --> 00:54:52,949
Believe for the impossible.

1150
00:54:53,045 --> 00:54:54,965
Oh, I know you've been disappointed.

1151
00:54:55,093 --> 00:54:57,387
I know you've had broken expectations.

1152
00:54:57,549 --> 00:54:58,911
But I see the Lord.

1153
00:54:59,071 --> 00:55:01,439
Pastor Execa, lay your hand on her.

1154
00:55:01,575 --> 00:55:04,303
I see the Lord just giving you
faith right now.

1155
00:55:04,407 --> 00:55:07,151
And you're gonna speak to the
mountain and you're gonna say, move,

1156
00:55:07,191 --> 00:55:08,703
and that mountain's gonna move.

1157
00:55:08,807 --> 00:55:10,771
And God's given you boldness.

1158
00:55:11,191 --> 00:55:14,911
Wow, man.

1159
00:55:14,951 --> 00:55:17,263
I'm just literally the
grandmother and the granddaughter

1160
00:55:17,327 --> 00:55:18,891
just weeping right now.

1161
00:55:19,351 --> 00:55:21,007
We're gonna pray in a few seconds.

1162
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:23,131
But God's doing something so special.

1163
00:55:23,611 --> 00:55:27,139
God's doing something so
special, man.

1164
00:55:27,195 --> 00:55:28,163
All the way out in the aisle.

1165
00:55:28,227 --> 00:55:28,951
Huh?

1166
00:55:29,291 --> 00:55:31,071
Who is that next to you?

1167
00:55:34,171 --> 00:55:36,511
Is this the one we've been
praying for?

1168
00:55:37,771 --> 00:55:38,991
Is that you?

1169
00:55:39,531 --> 00:55:40,547
Come, bring him.

1170
00:55:40,619 --> 00:55:41,471
Bring him.

1171
00:55:42,011 --> 00:55:44,191
This the one we've been
praying for?

1172
00:55:48,491 --> 00:55:52,947
Oh, you don't even know you're
marked in this spiritual realm because

1173
00:55:53,019 --> 00:55:54,675
we've been waiting for this moment.

1174
00:55:54,723 --> 00:55:59,139
I'm crying with your mom
because many are called, but few

1175
00:55:59,195 --> 00:56:00,147
are chosen.

1176
00:56:00,259 --> 00:56:03,331
And the last will be first,
and the first shall be last.

1177
00:56:03,451 --> 00:56:06,787
And son, when you came up out
of your seat, you get ready.

1178
00:56:06,899 --> 00:56:10,355
Cuz God's going to open up the
windows of heaven and pour out a

1179
00:56:10,363 --> 00:56:12,275
blessing you can't even contain.

1180
00:56:12,403 --> 00:56:14,431
Welcome to the winning side.

1181
00:56:18,501 --> 00:56:19,005
Yeah.

1182
00:56:19,053 --> 00:56:19,881
Come on.

1183
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:22,477
Come on.

1184
00:56:22,629 --> 00:56:24,481
I know your mom's annoying.

1185
00:56:25,061 --> 00:56:26,861
I know she wouldn't look at me.

1186
00:56:26,981 --> 00:56:28,521
And you laugh, didn't you?

1187
00:56:29,701 --> 00:56:32,081
You want to know why she
wouldn't leave you alone?

1188
00:56:33,301 --> 00:56:35,041
Because you're destined.

1189
00:56:36,741 --> 00:56:37,921
You're destined.

1190
00:56:38,501 --> 00:56:39,721
And you know what?

1191
00:56:40,021 --> 00:56:42,045
I hear her crying over your shoulder.

1192
00:56:42,093 --> 00:56:44,001
And you'll never forget this moment.

1193
00:56:44,441 --> 00:56:45,953
But this one's not fake.

1194
00:56:46,017 --> 00:56:47,021
This is real.

1195
00:56:47,641 --> 00:56:49,233
You feel it, don't you?

1196
00:56:49,417 --> 00:56:51,361
This ain't like when you were
a kid.

1197
00:56:51,521 --> 00:56:53,101
Because you're a man now.

1198
00:56:53,881 --> 00:56:56,181
And I want to say this in
front of everybody.

1199
00:56:58,201 --> 00:57:01,981
When you surrender to the Lord
right now, you belong to him.

1200
00:57:02,601 --> 00:57:05,073
So even though you've been
trying to figure it out and take

1201
00:57:05,097 --> 00:57:09,433
care of yourself, I heard the
Lord say, son, you are not too old

1202
00:57:09,577 --> 00:57:11,381
for me to take care of you.

1203
00:57:12,161 --> 00:57:13,961
And watch that I take care of you.

1204
00:57:14,001 --> 00:57:15,465
The Lord knows your needs.

1205
00:57:15,633 --> 00:57:17,341
He knows your struggles.

1206
00:57:17,681 --> 00:57:19,501
But I want to give you a warning.

1207
00:57:20,001 --> 00:57:23,181
The Lord says you're the
leader, not the follower.

1208
00:57:23,841 --> 00:57:28,633
And I heard the Lord say, son,
in this next season, it's time to

1209
00:57:28,657 --> 00:57:29,177
lead.

1210
00:57:29,329 --> 00:57:32,233
And the people that you're
calling your friends, the Lord says,

1211
00:57:32,257 --> 00:57:33,981
I'm calling them your followers.

1212
00:57:35,051 --> 00:57:37,939
You call them friend, but I
call them follower.

1213
00:57:38,115 --> 00:57:41,251
And you need to lead because
the Lord says in your friend group,

1214
00:57:41,291 --> 00:57:44,627
when you come back to them and
tell them, I'm saved and I'm filled

1215
00:57:44,659 --> 00:57:47,059
with the Holy Spirit, they
want to get saved, too.

1216
00:57:47,115 --> 00:57:47,491
They just.

1217
00:57:47,531 --> 00:57:49,187
They're too afraid to say it.

1218
00:57:49,339 --> 00:57:51,831
And you're about to lead your
friends to Jesus.

1219
00:57:52,971 --> 00:57:53,951
Come on.

1220
00:57:56,491 --> 00:57:57,043
Come on.

1221
00:57:57,067 --> 00:57:59,123
There's just tears all over here.

1222
00:57:59,307 --> 00:58:00,351
Come on.

1223
00:58:00,761 --> 00:58:01,233
Come on.

1224
00:58:01,257 --> 00:58:03,181
The power of God's all over you.

1225
00:58:05,241 --> 00:58:06,221
Come on.

1226
00:58:08,841 --> 00:58:09,441
Come on.

1227
00:58:09,481 --> 00:58:09,905
That word.

1228
00:58:09,953 --> 00:58:12,301
That word resonated with you,
didn't it?

1229
00:58:12,921 --> 00:58:14,701
You know what I love about you?

1230
00:58:16,361 --> 00:58:18,781
I love how you love other people.

1231
00:58:19,081 --> 00:58:22,381
I don't even know you, but you
carry people.

1232
00:58:22,921 --> 00:58:24,833
But I got good news for you.

1233
00:58:25,017 --> 00:58:27,581
You can't save them, but Jesus will.

1234
00:58:28,141 --> 00:58:30,197
And I'm telling you, there's
some family members.

1235
00:58:30,269 --> 00:58:33,893
I can feel you in the spirit
crying out for them.

1236
00:58:33,917 --> 00:58:36,661
And the Lord said when you
came forward, you came forward on

1237
00:58:36,701 --> 00:58:37,961
their behalf.

1238
00:58:38,621 --> 00:58:42,069
And I heard the Lord say, your
family is going to be saved.

1239
00:58:42,245 --> 00:58:43,237
Man, Y'all.

1240
00:58:43,269 --> 00:58:43,605
I don't.

1241
00:58:43,653 --> 00:58:45,397
Can y'all feel this in the back?

1242
00:58:45,549 --> 00:58:49,637
Because, I mean, they are just
weeping all over the front here because

1243
00:58:49,709 --> 00:58:50,997
salvation is happening.

1244
00:58:51,029 --> 00:58:52,641
Is that word for you, too?

1245
00:58:54,661 --> 00:58:55,441
Wow.

1246
00:58:56,581 --> 00:58:59,121
Something supernatural is happening.

1247
00:59:21,671 --> 00:59:23,727
This is what it sounds.

1248
00:59:23,919 --> 00:59:27,491
This is what it sounds like
when someone gets saved.

1249
00:59:28,231 --> 00:59:33,023
Not the sinner's prayer with a
bagel in one hand and a coffee in

1250
00:59:33,047 --> 00:59:33,279
another.

1251
00:59:33,335 --> 00:59:35,039
And you go back living your life.

1252
00:59:35,175 --> 00:59:36,971
This man right here.

1253
00:59:37,351 --> 00:59:39,891
Right here is getting saved.

1254
00:59:40,231 --> 00:59:44,415
This is what happens when
somebody goes from death to life.

1255
00:59:44,583 --> 00:59:47,829
This is what happens when
there's scales are being removed.

1256
00:59:47,925 --> 00:59:51,161
I hear him just screaming out,
thank you, Jesus.

1257
00:59:53,021 --> 00:59:55,641
Can someone shout hallelujah?

1258
00:59:57,581 --> 00:59:58,841
Hallelujah.

1259
01:00:00,301 --> 01:00:01,561
Hallelujah.

1260
01:00:06,621 --> 01:00:08,117
And I want you to hear that.

1261
01:00:08,189 --> 01:00:09,241
That sound.

1262
01:00:10,141 --> 01:00:12,601
I'm glad that you get to hear
that cry.

1263
01:00:17,901 --> 01:00:19,881
He's becoming a breaker.

1264
01:00:20,941 --> 01:00:22,981
He's becoming a breaker.

1265
01:00:23,141 --> 01:00:23,621
Come on.

1266
01:00:23,661 --> 01:00:25,941
You right there with the
necklace on.

1267
01:00:25,981 --> 01:00:27,093
You're a breaker.

1268
01:00:27,237 --> 01:00:27,653
Come on.

1269
01:00:27,677 --> 01:00:29,493
You know who you are in the spirit.

1270
01:00:29,637 --> 01:00:30,641
Am I right?

1271
01:00:30,941 --> 01:00:32,133
You know who you are.

1272
01:00:32,237 --> 01:00:33,521
Walk in it now.

1273
01:00:34,141 --> 01:00:35,573
Time to walk in it.

1274
01:00:35,677 --> 01:00:37,173
Hold your chin up.

1275
01:00:37,357 --> 01:00:37,765
Yeah.

1276
01:00:37,813 --> 01:00:39,945
Because you're a warrior in
the spirit.

1277
01:00:40,133 --> 01:00:41,505
We're all getting ready to pray.

1278
01:00:41,553 --> 01:00:42,513
From the front to the back.

1279
01:00:42,537 --> 01:00:44,941
Right now, I'm just letting
the Holy Spirit do the work.

1280
01:00:45,561 --> 01:00:47,821
Just letting the Holy Spirit
do the work.

1281
01:00:48,681 --> 01:00:49,461
Wow.

1282
01:01:05,331 --> 01:01:06,071
Sa.

1283
01:01:41,341 --> 01:01:42,121
Wow.

1284
01:01:44,141 --> 01:01:44,921
Wow.

1285
01:01:52,061 --> 01:01:54,837
We're gonna pray together, and
then we're gonna sing.

1286
01:01:54,909 --> 01:01:59,101
And then we're gonna just bask
in what God did during this service.

1287
01:02:01,481 --> 01:02:05,201
Lives are being transformed
right now when that decision was

1288
01:02:05,241 --> 01:02:05,873
made.

1289
01:02:06,057 --> 01:02:08,449
But this is for everybody from
the front to the back.

1290
01:02:08,505 --> 01:02:11,553
So what I want you to do is
just lift your hands and surrender.

1291
01:02:11,697 --> 01:02:15,041
This is just a universal sign
of I surrender.

1292
01:02:15,121 --> 01:02:16,033
That's why we lift up.

1293
01:02:16,057 --> 01:02:19,233
The Bible says lifting up holy hands.

1294
01:02:19,377 --> 01:02:23,441
It's just in school you would
lift your hand when you have the

1295
01:02:23,481 --> 01:02:24,113
answer.

1296
01:02:24,257 --> 01:02:25,681
In church, you lift your hand.

1297
01:02:25,721 --> 01:02:26,411
When you don't.

1298
01:02:26,521 --> 01:02:27,479
You're like God.

1299
01:02:27,575 --> 01:02:29,255
Your ways are higher than my ways.

1300
01:02:29,303 --> 01:02:31,191
Your thoughts are higher than
my thoughts.

1301
01:02:31,271 --> 01:02:34,071
And with my hands lifted, I'm
surrendering my life.

1302
01:02:34,191 --> 01:02:36,423
And we're gonna pray from the
front to the back.

1303
01:02:36,527 --> 01:02:38,375
And we're gonna say this all together.

1304
01:02:38,463 --> 01:02:39,463
So use my words.

1305
01:02:39,527 --> 01:02:45,287
Say, heavenly Father, I thank
you for the cross where you died.

1306
01:02:45,479 --> 01:02:51,031
I thank you for the tomb where
you rose again Washed me with your

1307
01:02:51,071 --> 01:02:51,767
blood.

1308
01:02:51,959 --> 01:02:53,691
Forgive my sins.

1309
01:02:54,191 --> 01:03:00,401
I thank I choose to follow you
as a disciple to walk the narrow

1310
01:03:00,481 --> 01:03:01,141
path.

1311
01:03:01,481 --> 01:03:06,941
I choose to become the breaker
in my family line.

1312
01:03:07,321 --> 01:03:14,561
I choose to live for you, to
die for you to carry my cross to

1313
01:03:14,601 --> 01:03:22,679
become like you In Jesus name
Somebody shout Amen Someone sing

1314
01:03:22,735 --> 01:03:24,471
this with me now let's celebrate.
