1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,760
I wrote you a letter.

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,480
And because we're friends, and
friends write each other letters.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,800
I'm old school, okay?

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,320
And some of you don't
remember, you know, this Gmail generation,

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,240
but I wrote it out by hand.

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,240
You know, they don't even
teach cursive in school anymore.

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,080
What a tragedy.

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,990
But I wrote you a letter, so I
want to share this with you, my friend.

9
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:31,590
We are friends, right?

10
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:33,190
Yeah.

11
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:34,150
Okay.

12
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:35,670
Don't say friend of me.

13
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:36,390
I heard you.

14
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:38,950
My friend.

15
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:43,150
If you've been feeling
confused, if you've been feeling

16
00:00:43,150 --> 00:00:47,750
uncertain, and even feeling
unseen, you're in good company.

17
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:50,390
This message is for you.

18
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:54,830
Before Jesus ever healed a
sick body, before he ever cast out

19
00:00:54,830 --> 00:00:57,880
a demon, before, before he
ever preached a sermon that shook

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,080
cities, he lived 30 years unseen.

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,320
No crowds, no platform, no
miracles, no applause.

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Just carpentry.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,480
Just calloused hands.

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,480
Family tension.

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,960
It wasn't Jesus fault, I'll
tell you that much.

26
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,880
Ordinary days in Nazareth.

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,520
And here's the uncomfortable truth.

28
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:21,490
Come on.

29
00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:22,290
I'm writing you a letter.

30
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:22,770
My friend.

31
00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:27,010
Most of what God does in you,
he does where no one is clapping.

32
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:31,890
In a world obsessed with
visibility, heaven is obsessed with

33
00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:32,450
your development.

34
00:01:33,730 --> 00:01:38,170
If you skip Nazareth because
many of you are in Nazareth right

35
00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:42,410
now, under the sound of my
voice, you might get attention, but

36
00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:43,730
you won't get authority.

37
00:01:44,530 --> 00:01:46,970
And God wants to give you
something greater than attention.

38
00:01:46,970 --> 00:01:48,290
He wants to give you authority.

39
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:50,140
Oh, come on.

40
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:54,700
Even for Jesus, sonship
preceded Savior work.

41
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:01,060
And you know, my handwriting
is very sloppy, so if you're like,

42
00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:01,460
this is.

43
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:03,180
I'm not slowing down for
dramatic effect.

44
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:04,620
I just don't know what it says.

45
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:08,300
I shouldn't have hyped this up
so much.

46
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,660
Don't repeat this semester.

47
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:16,710
Become like Jesus and graduate
from it.

48
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:18,790
Your friend, Mike Signorelli.

49
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:19,430
Come on.

50
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,150
We're gonna start part two of
Journey with Jesus.

51
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:25,390
And I want you to turn your
Bibles to Luke, chapter two, verse

52
00:02:25,390 --> 00:02:26,070
51.

53
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:30,470
So go ahead and find Luke,
chapter two, verse 51 dot and, you

54
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:31,430
know, you can go old school.

55
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:32,950
You could say amen when you
found it.

56
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,830
Luke, chapter two, verse 51.

57
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:37,470
All right.

58
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:38,070
You with me?

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,040
All right.

60
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,280
It says, and he went down with
them and came to Nazareth.

61
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,840
And he was submitted to them.

62
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,600
This is young Jesus.

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,680
And it says, and his mother
treasured up all these things in

64
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,240
her heart.

65
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,520
And Jesus increased in wisdom.

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,880
Everyone say wisdom.

67
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,520
And in stature, say stature.

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,360
And in favor, say favor With God.

69
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,070
And with men on Long island and.

70
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:07,460
And women in Brooklyn.

71
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:07,820
And.

72
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:08,380
Come on.

73
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:14,220
He increased in stature and
wisdom, but also in favor with human

74
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:14,740
beings.

75
00:03:14,740 --> 00:03:20,500
And with God now at this point
in Jesus life, because we're going.

76
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,020
We're going to go on a journey
today, and we're going to start in

77
00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:24,540
Nazareth, where it all began.

78
00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:28,620
Jesus is single, yet sinless.

79
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,340
For if you're single, you
could go ahead and write that in

80
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:31,900
your notes.

81
00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:33,830
Single and sinless.

82
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:39,190
Therefore, through Jesus, you
can be single and sinless.

83
00:03:39,510 --> 00:03:41,910
And all the single people
said, amen.

84
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:46,830
Come on, Jesus, he
demonstrated that wisdom is perpetual

85
00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:48,550
obedience over time.

86
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:52,910
We know that wisdom cannot be
knowledge because in the beginning

87
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:55,990
was the Word, and the Word was.

88
00:03:56,950 --> 00:04:01,260
And according to John, Jesus
is the Word.

89
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:05,740
So we know that wisdom can't
be information because Jesus is the

90
00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:06,100
Word.

91
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:10,300
And if Jesus increased in
wisdom, wisdom must have a different

92
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,020
definition.

93
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,140
And it's perpetual obedience
over time.

94
00:04:14,940 --> 00:04:18,420
How many of you want to become
wise in the kingdom?

95
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:23,060
That's like asking, who wants
to be obedient over and over and

96
00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:24,540
over and over again.

97
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:26,140
Are y' all with me or did I
lose you?

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,600
Okay, so I'm speaking to some
single people to start.

99
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,480
Because you see this season of
Jesus Life, and you know, listen,

100
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,720
some of you learned this the
hard way, but then you decided, like,

101
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,400
no, no, no, it's not gonna
work on me anymore, Devil.

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,640
The last time they slid into
my DMs, I slid into deception.

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,360
But I am now into the truth,
and I can't.

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,440
Come on, some of you, it was
enough for them to take you on a

105
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,520
nice date, but you're not
impressed with money anymore because

106
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,280
you have a father who owns everything.

107
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,150
Are there any sort of single people.

108
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:59,870
Who are going to be sinless people?

109
00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:03,910
Because Jesus demonstrated
that he gives us the power to be

110
00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:05,230
single and sinless.

111
00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:08,430
Come on, somebody just say,
it's not working on me anymore.

112
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:14,510
You know, where are my single
people at, by the way?

113
00:05:14,670 --> 00:05:15,390
I'm going to do.

114
00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:17,150
Come on, don't raise your hand
too high.

115
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,070
Come on, turn in church.

116
00:05:19,150 --> 00:05:21,870
They just turned Brooklyn into
a whole dating scene right now.

117
00:05:21,870 --> 00:05:24,550
It's like, some of you are
like, why are we even coming to all

118
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:25,070
these services?

119
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:26,750
Oh, the Lord rebuke you.

120
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:29,950
Jesus is sinless.

121
00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:31,790
I'm gonna go deeper now.

122
00:05:32,350 --> 00:05:34,830
He's sinless, yet he increases.

123
00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:38,510
He's sinless, yet he increases.

124
00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:41,150
There should be an expectation
in your life that you increase.

125
00:05:42,030 --> 00:05:45,390
No shortcuts, no divine bypass.

126
00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:49,470
It's just literally, the Son
of God needed a process.

127
00:05:50,510 --> 00:05:52,190
How many of you need one, too?

128
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Okay, and when I'm thinking
about this, who's gonna graduate

129
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:00,720
this semester?

130
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,880
Instead of repeating it?

131
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Oh, come on.

132
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,000
A lot of Christians say I'm in
a season.

133
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,240
You're not in a season because
a season God locks you in there.

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,320
But many of us are in a
semester where God says, I'll let

135
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,360
you out as soon as you finally
pass your test.

136
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,930
And what you see with the
semesters of Jesus hidden years is

137
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:24,330
that he had to pass tests.

138
00:06:24,410 --> 00:06:25,530
You know, Nazareth.

139
00:06:25,530 --> 00:06:26,970
Now I want to start in Nazareth.

140
00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:28,810
It's the School of Sonship.

141
00:06:28,810 --> 00:06:32,250
Now, I want to encourage you
if you have not subscribed to my

142
00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:33,010
YouTube channel.

143
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:36,290
I know many of you are
watching through V1, I have supplemental

144
00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:36,810
teachings.

145
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:40,130
I went to Israel and I did
this entire journey through Israel,

146
00:06:40,130 --> 00:06:42,850
and I accumulated teachings on
this whole journey, and they're going

147
00:06:42,850 --> 00:06:44,250
to begin to be released.

148
00:06:44,330 --> 00:06:46,090
And I want you to make sure
that you're watching it.

149
00:06:46,090 --> 00:06:50,350
I actually stood on a mountain
in Nazareth, and it was an incredible

150
00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:50,870
message.

151
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:53,790
And so I want you to get the
supplemental as you journey with

152
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:54,310
Jesus.

153
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:57,350
How many of you are excited to
go on that journey and to kind of

154
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:57,910
get more?

155
00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:59,710
So I want you to get, get that.

156
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:00,630
It's so powerful.

157
00:07:00,710 --> 00:07:04,710
But Nazareth is really Jesus,
like home base where everything starts.

158
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:07,030
And I call it the School of Sonship.

159
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:09,550
And this message is unlike
anything I've ever preached.

160
00:07:09,550 --> 00:07:10,110
Like, I'm.

161
00:07:10,110 --> 00:07:13,080
I don't know if you can feel
the excitement that I have, but because

162
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,440
many of you are in a Nazareth
right now.

163
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320
You are in a Nazareth right now.

164
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,440
But I need to help you,
because Nazareth is not punishment,

165
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,520
it's preparation.

166
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,840
Oh, can I just say it again?

167
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Nazareth is not punishment.

168
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,440
It's preparation.

169
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,880
When you go to Israel, in the
ancient world, it would have been

170
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,720
received as if, well, you
know, you're Jesus of Nazareth.

171
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,010
I mean, what good does comes
out of Nazareth, right?

172
00:07:40,250 --> 00:07:43,610
So some of you are like, why
was I born and raised where I was

173
00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:44,010
raised?

174
00:07:44,090 --> 00:07:46,250
Why did I receive the family
that I received?

175
00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:47,770
Can I give you good news?

176
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:50,650
God did not give you that as a punishment.

177
00:07:50,650 --> 00:07:52,250
He gave it as a preparation.

178
00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:56,970
And you have to begin to
decode where you come from in order

179
00:07:56,970 --> 00:08:00,650
to understand why he saw fit
that you would have that preparation.

180
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:02,330
Oh, Mike, I don't believe this.

181
00:08:02,330 --> 00:08:04,510
I had a deadbeat dad who was.

182
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:07,740
He used to beat my mom, and my
dad left us.

183
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:09,700
Okay, that wasn't punishment
for you.

184
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:10,820
That was preparation.

185
00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:14,540
Because God is gonna raise you
up as a father, not just in your

186
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:16,540
own family, but a father in
the kingdom.

187
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:18,740
And you are gonna be what you
never had.

188
00:08:18,740 --> 00:08:20,900
And so your childhood wasn't punishment.

189
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:23,300
It was preparation for your purpose.

190
00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:25,380
And God knew that you would
survive it.

191
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:28,300
So that you would give the
plan for other people to survive

192
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:28,580
it.

193
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:30,340
Is there anybody who believes that?

194
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:37,030
So Nazareth is not punishment,
it is preparation.

195
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:40,950
This is what you see in the
life of Jesus.

196
00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:43,870
It was not God delaying Jesus, it.

197
00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:45,830
Was God developing Jesus.

198
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:51,070
I used to say, nobody came to
save me, nobody helped me.

199
00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:55,230
I don't have a ministry family
and I gotta do this all by my Lord.

200
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:58,670
I'm so far behind those other
pastors, their dads were pastors.

201
00:08:58,670 --> 00:09:01,910
And the Lord says, I was not
delaying you, I was developing.

202
00:09:01,910 --> 00:09:06,160
You see, whatever your
situation is under the sound of my

203
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,480
voice right now, I want to
give you the good news.

204
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,760
You were not delayed.

205
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,320
You were being developed.

206
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,400
Some of you come from dry
churches, dry as a bone.

207
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Churches where, come on,
Nobody, nobody prays.

208
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,360
Not even the mouse and the mousetrap.

209
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,240
Nobody you know, some of you
come from churches where.

210
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,680
You know, the old Oregon
churches, You know that old church

211
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120
mother, 114 years old, playing
the same song.

212
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:37,700
Some of you spent years in a
denomination where no truth was being

213
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:41,220
declared from the pulpit and
or political games in the church.

214
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:45,460
And you often feel like God,
how many years of my life did I waste?

215
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:49,020
But I'm telling you, you are
not being delayed.

216
00:09:49,020 --> 00:09:52,780
Even at that other church you
were being developed because in that

217
00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:57,300
all that dry dead religion,
God was giving you an appetite for

218
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:57,780
meat.

219
00:09:57,780 --> 00:10:00,180
He was giving you an appetite
for revival.

220
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:03,180
He was giving you an appetite
for the things of the spirit.

221
00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:06,430
And you know, thirstiest
you've ever been is when you don't

222
00:10:06,430 --> 00:10:07,030
have water.

223
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:09,070
The hungriest you've ever been
is when.

224
00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:09,990
You don't have food.

225
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:12,550
And sometimes God will bring
you through a season.

226
00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:14,790
That's not punishment, it's preparation.

227
00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:17,150
He'll bring you through a
church and you're like God.

228
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:19,190
I thought I told you told me
to go there.

229
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:19,870
He did.

230
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:23,950
To starve you out so you would
get an appetite for some spiritual

231
00:10:23,950 --> 00:10:24,310
food.

232
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:24,910
Come on.

233
00:10:24,910 --> 00:10:26,870
Does anybody know what I'm
talking about?

234
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:31,390
I'm just setting you up
because this is Nazareth.

235
00:10:31,390 --> 00:10:32,630
Somebody say Nazareth?

236
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:34,230
Come on.

237
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:38,150
Luke tells us something really
explosive as he's narrating this.

238
00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:40,790
He was submissive to them.

239
00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:44,470
Jesus was submitted to his parents.

240
00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:46,310
Let that sit.

241
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:49,310
Jesus was submitted.

242
00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:51,430
But isn't he the son of God?

243
00:10:52,070 --> 00:10:55,430
Shouldn't Mary and Joseph be
submitted to Jesus?

244
00:10:55,830 --> 00:10:57,190
Yeah, that comes later.

245
00:10:57,510 --> 00:11:01,060
But in his childhood, Jesus
was submitted to them.

246
00:11:01,460 --> 00:11:05,780
At 12 years old, Jesus said,
now I don't know where Everly is.

247
00:11:05,780 --> 00:11:09,900
I have an 11 year old who's
going to be 12 in April and I now

248
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,740
have a Pretty good idea of
that developmental stage.

249
00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:15,820
And I think about Jesus saying
this and it's funny.

250
00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:19,940
He said, did you not know that
I must be in my Father's house?

251
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,180
This is Luke, chapter 2, verse 49.

252
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:25,940
Can you imagine a little 12
year old Macaulay Conkin looking

253
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:26,580
Jesus?

254
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:29,180
Come on.

255
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:33,260
Can you imagine him saying
like, did you not know that I must

256
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:34,780
be in my Father's house?

257
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:40,100
But he was submitted to his
earthly father even though he was

258
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,620
commissioned by his heavenly Father.

259
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:45,420
Some of you need to get the
revelation of submission.

260
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:48,540
See how quiet it got.

261
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:52,220
Oh, no, did they just say the
S word?

262
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:53,460
Yeah.

263
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:54,100
Submission.

264
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:55,780
This was revelation.

265
00:11:56,420 --> 00:11:59,300
He has clarity, he has his calling.

266
00:11:59,380 --> 00:12:03,060
And then he goes home and he
does the dishes.

267
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:09,340
Jesus in the ancient world
doing dishes with fabuloso, that

268
00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:12,580
was not weakness, that was strength.

269
00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:16,540
Because he was obeying the
authority that had been placed over

270
00:12:16,540 --> 00:12:17,020
his life.

271
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:20,660
And he knew that Nazareth was
just part of the process of development.

272
00:12:21,630 --> 00:12:22,030
Come on.

273
00:12:22,190 --> 00:12:23,910
If you're a theologian, prove it.

274
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:25,070
Join the coffee team.

275
00:12:25,390 --> 00:12:26,830
Come on, do some dishes.

276
00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:27,430
Come on.

277
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:30,750
If you move powerfully in the
gift of deliverance and healing,

278
00:12:30,910 --> 00:12:31,710
prove it to me.

279
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:35,470
Join the parking team and wave
a spirit of suicide off of somebody

280
00:12:35,470 --> 00:12:36,990
as they come into the parking lot.

281
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:40,110
And you might not always be in
that parking lot, but you got to

282
00:12:40,110 --> 00:12:42,430
go through that parking lot to
get to the stage.

283
00:12:42,430 --> 00:12:46,190
And some of you want to skip
Nazareth to get to Capernaum.

284
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:47,150
No, no, no.

285
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,000
Submission.

286
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,680
Submission is not about limitation.

287
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,680
It's about learning restraint
until God releases.

288
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,560
Y' all missed it.

289
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,320
Submission is not about limitation.

290
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,160
It's about restraint until God releases.

291
00:13:12,890 --> 00:13:13,770
Let me tell you why.

292
00:13:14,090 --> 00:13:15,970
Because if you jump over that line.

293
00:13:15,970 --> 00:13:19,250
Before the gun and you're
released by the authority.

294
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:20,490
Oh, come on, somebody.

295
00:13:20,490 --> 00:13:21,930
Then you're disqualified.

296
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:24,210
No matter how gifted you are, if.

297
00:13:24,210 --> 00:13:27,930
You start your ministry too
soon, if you start your calling too

298
00:13:27,930 --> 00:13:32,290
soon, you will disqualify
yourself because you didn't listen.

299
00:13:32,290 --> 00:13:33,850
To the one governing the game.

300
00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:35,650
And I'm here to tell you, once.

301
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:38,170
God starts you, no man can
stop you.

302
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:41,380
Once God starts you, not even
the devil can stop you.

303
00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:42,260
But I'll tell you this.

304
00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:45,700
If you start yourself, you've
already stopped yourself.

305
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:49,700
So submission, it's not limitation.

306
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:53,620
It's restraint until God releases.

307
00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:59,340
Oh, I used to be the best
preacher nobody ever heard of because

308
00:13:59,340 --> 00:14:02,020
I worked in the kids
department and nobody asked me to

309
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:02,300
preach.

310
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:06,420
But I dare not ask for myself,
because if I open the door, then

311
00:14:06,420 --> 00:14:08,660
my favor is going to be on
that opportunity.

312
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:12,280
But if God opens the door, his
favor is going to be on that opportunity,

313
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,480
I've never asked anybody if I
could preach, but I've been asked

314
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,320
all over the world.

315
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,160
Because if you humble yourself
under the mighty hand of God, then

316
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,400
in due season, he will lift
you up.

317
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,000
And here's the thing, you they can.

318
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Promote themselves, they can
market themselves, but.

319
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,240
They can't lift themselves up.

320
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,320
But you got somebody else who
comes out of nowhere, comes out of

321
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,000
obscurity.

322
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,560
And when God lifts them up,
there ain't no marketing budget,

323
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,370
there ain't no co star hiding
from the influencers that can do

324
00:14:40,370 --> 00:14:40,610
it.

325
00:14:40,610 --> 00:14:42,610
But when God does it, come on.

326
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:47,370
Somebody, it is restraint
until God releases.

327
00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:52,730
Nazareth trained Jesus to
carry power without needing to prove

328
00:14:52,730 --> 00:14:53,370
himself.

329
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:56,170
You don't need to prove yourself.

330
00:14:57,130 --> 00:15:00,770
The most dangerous people in
life are the ones who have something

331
00:15:00,770 --> 00:15:01,370
to prove.

332
00:15:02,410 --> 00:15:04,810
I'm from the hood, the barrio.

333
00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:08,170
You know about that, you don't
know about that.

334
00:15:08,730 --> 00:15:09,930
They don't know about that.

335
00:15:11,770 --> 00:15:15,010
It was well established that
the most dangerous gang members were

336
00:15:15,010 --> 00:15:16,170
not the high ups.

337
00:15:16,330 --> 00:15:18,810
It was the young kids with
something to prove.

338
00:15:19,290 --> 00:15:22,010
I live in New York City, you
know who's doing the stabbing, you

339
00:15:22,010 --> 00:15:23,130
know who's doing the shooting.

340
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:24,770
It's not the high ranked guys.

341
00:15:24,770 --> 00:15:28,810
It's the young guys who, who
have a fragile identity that was

342
00:15:28,810 --> 00:15:30,770
not established by a
biological father.

343
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,200
Father.

344
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,400
Who are going into the streets
doing dangerous things to prove themselves

345
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,640
to their gang father.

346
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,240
See, it's now in the local church.

347
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,440
The most dangerous people are
the people who have something to

348
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:43,880
prove.

349
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,160
As a matter of fact, whenever
you go into an orphanage, there's

350
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,400
two kinds of orphans.

351
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,280
There's the orphans that when
you come in, they do every trick

352
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:52,680
they have.

353
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,920
Because they want you to adopt them.

354
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,640
And they think that their
tricks and their performances are

355
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,560
gonna actually be the reason
why you take them home into a real

356
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:05,920
family.

357
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,320
But then there's another kind
of orphan in the orphanage that they

358
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,320
are so beat down by life that
they're completely silent.

359
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560
And many local churches are
the same.

360
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Look, I can sing, the music goes.

361
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,680
Quiet, the person in the back shout.

362
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,800
To the Lord all the.

363
00:16:22,490 --> 00:16:25,050
Then the other guy, hey, I
would like you to pray for two minutes.

364
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:27,330
Oh, yeah, I'll pray because
the Lord told me.

365
00:16:27,330 --> 00:16:29,450
And when he said it, and I'm
like, no, I didn't ask you to.

366
00:16:29,450 --> 00:16:30,530
Preach, I asked you to pray.

367
00:16:30,530 --> 00:16:33,290
But you're doing a performance
because you're proving that you're

368
00:16:33,290 --> 00:16:34,010
an orphan.

369
00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:40,890
So Jesus did not perform at all.

370
00:16:41,370 --> 00:16:44,250
And there were 30 years where he's.

371
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:48,170
His identity is being
developed in Nazareth and he's simply

372
00:16:48,170 --> 00:16:50,400
saying, oh, Come on.

373
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:56,360
I am submitted to my parents
who are submitted to God, and I don't.

374
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,520
And that submission is
restraint until at year 30, God releases

375
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:01,840
me.

376
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240
This is why later, he stands in.

377
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Silence before Pilate and
doesn't crumble.

378
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,000
Because silence is a weapon
for someone forged in submission

379
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,240
and obedience.

380
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,160
How could you be silent in
front of Pilate if you were never

381
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,350
silent before you got to that
moment that was so crazy crucial.

382
00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:22,550
See, what's happening is Jesus
is going to know how to close his

383
00:17:22,550 --> 00:17:26,350
mouth in his ministry, because
he knew how to shut his mouth when

384
00:17:26,350 --> 00:17:27,670
he was in Mary's home.

385
00:17:27,670 --> 00:17:31,990
And see, he was training for
reigning from Bethlehem to Nazareth.

386
00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:35,670
You can't skip the step
because you won't be ready for pilot

387
00:17:35,670 --> 00:17:38,070
if you don't learn the lesson
in Nazareth.

388
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:40,670
Come on.

389
00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:41,110
I'm tired.

390
00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:43,270
Some of y', all, this might be
going over your head right now.

391
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,880
I'm telling you, this is not taught.

392
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:51,840
A silent semester will teach
you how to restrain yourself in a

393
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:52,960
successful season.

394
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,520
It's connected and you cannot
disconnect it.

395
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,520
It's like all those years in
silence so that when you are in your

396
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,720
calling, you'll remember how
to restrain when the Lord says, don't

397
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,000
speak.

398
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,600
Let me speak on your behalf.

399
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:11,360
And you know who's the
guiltiest of that?

400
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,680
Your pastor.

401
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,400
Man, I love to clap back.

402
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,160
And I'm like, lord, take me
back to Nazareth.

403
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,920
You know, I ain't Jesus, but
I'm trying.

404
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,720
You know, Jesus could be
silent before Pilate for three minutes

405
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,280
when it mattered the most,
because he had been in relative obscurity

406
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,400
and silent for 30 years when
no one thought it mattered.

407
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:35,400
It's all training.

408
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,110
It's all training, you know?

409
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:39,550
Write this down in your notes.

410
00:18:39,790 --> 00:18:42,910
Nazareth gives us a fourfold formation.

411
00:18:43,950 --> 00:18:47,230
Fourfold formation, number one.

412
00:18:47,470 --> 00:18:51,910
Jesus grows in wisdom, which,
as you know, is sustained obedience

413
00:18:51,910 --> 00:18:52,670
over time.

414
00:18:53,870 --> 00:18:57,390
So this is the fourfold
formation of Nazareth.

415
00:18:57,870 --> 00:19:02,190
Remember I said we're gonna
spend three months going very deep

416
00:19:02,190 --> 00:19:04,110
into the life of Jesus through Scripture.

417
00:19:04,970 --> 00:19:07,730
So that way you'll know
everything there is to know that

418
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:09,610
I can possibly think of about Christ.

419
00:19:09,770 --> 00:19:12,330
And there's four things you
find in Nazareth.

420
00:19:12,330 --> 00:19:15,330
Number one is wisdom, which is
sustained obedience over time.

421
00:19:15,330 --> 00:19:19,450
Number two is stature, which
is obedience with your body.

422
00:19:20,570 --> 00:19:24,730
To increase in stature is
obedience with your body.

423
00:19:24,970 --> 00:19:28,810
The New Testament says that
when you commit a sexual sin, you

424
00:19:28,810 --> 00:19:31,610
commit that sin against your
own body.

425
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:35,530
So to increase in stature,
there's an obedience in your body.

426
00:19:35,610 --> 00:19:37,210
And you know what you do with
your flesh?

427
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:38,090
You break it.

428
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:39,690
You crucify it.

429
00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:41,210
You tell it to shut up.

430
00:19:41,290 --> 00:19:45,370
And you say you will not get
in the way of God's divine purposes.

431
00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:48,490
For my life, I'm not going to
listen to my stomach.

432
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:50,010
I'm not going to listen to my.

433
00:19:50,010 --> 00:19:50,650
Come on.

434
00:19:50,650 --> 00:19:52,490
I'm not going to listen to any
of my.

435
00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:54,970
I'm listening to the voice of the.

436
00:19:54,970 --> 00:20:00,660
Lord and that is maturity in
the faith, obedience with your body.

437
00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:03,580
That's stature number three,
favor with God.

438
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:06,460
How do you increase in favor
with God?

439
00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:08,700
Intimacy in prayer.

440
00:20:10,140 --> 00:20:12,140
Intimacy in prayer.

441
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:16,140
That's how you increase in
favor with God.

442
00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:18,220
You let him hear your voice.

443
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:18,980
Come on.

444
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:22,020
Am I the only one that the
first 30 seconds of your prayer sound

445
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:22,860
so religious?

446
00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:26,470
God, I come before thee.

447
00:20:27,910 --> 00:20:29,350
Lord, forgive me, God.

448
00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:32,710
You're like, what in the Lord
of the Rings are you doing?

449
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:37,230
Then you'll get done with that
and you're like, lord, I'm desperate.

450
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:38,470
I'm here for you, I need you.

451
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:42,990
Then if you press past that,
you'll begin to experience this realm

452
00:20:42,990 --> 00:20:43,830
of intimacy.

453
00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:45,550
If the only time you're going to.

454
00:20:45,550 --> 00:20:49,070
God is to ask forgiveness of
sin, you are a milk Christian that

455
00:20:49,070 --> 00:20:49,910
needs to mature.

456
00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:53,410
If the only time you're going
before God is with a guilt complex,

457
00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:56,730
you have to deal with that
demon of condemnation and say, shut

458
00:20:56,730 --> 00:20:58,530
your mouth, I know who I am.

459
00:20:58,770 --> 00:21:02,010
Many of you, God is bringing
you into a deeper realm of prayer,

460
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:05,890
which is intimacy with him,
where you get past the superficial

461
00:21:05,969 --> 00:21:08,370
and you start stepping into
the supernatural.

462
00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:09,930
As a matter of fact, God will.

463
00:21:09,930 --> 00:21:11,490
Give you assignments in prayer.

464
00:21:11,490 --> 00:21:14,610
He'll tell you to dethrone
principalities and powers.

465
00:21:14,610 --> 00:21:16,770
He'll tell you to pray for
people by name.

466
00:21:16,770 --> 00:21:18,440
He'll show people faces to you.

467
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,880
He'll tell you to utter words.

468
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,000
Whatsoever is bound on earth
will be bound in heaven.

469
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,960
But you have to do the binding
because you are the agent of the

470
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Lord through the Holy Spirit
and the power of life and death comes

471
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,720
out of your tongue.

472
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,560
Whatsoever is loosed on
heaven, on earth, is loose in heaven.

473
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,240
But you have to do the loosing.

474
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,240
Because you are the incarnate
Christ through the Holy Spirit.

475
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:45,490
It's your physical body.

476
00:21:45,810 --> 00:21:47,850
Yes, it's not the same as Christ's.

477
00:21:47,850 --> 00:21:51,290
Body, but the Holy Spirit
dwells in you, which is the same

478
00:21:51,290 --> 00:21:52,010
spirit that.

479
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:53,890
Raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

480
00:21:54,050 --> 00:21:57,010
So how many of you are gonna
start operating in the supernatural

481
00:21:57,010 --> 00:21:57,570
and step.

482
00:21:57,570 --> 00:22:02,290
Up out of the superficial,
Stop saying you're sorry and start

483
00:22:02,290 --> 00:22:02,770
come on.

484
00:22:02,770 --> 00:22:04,450
Doing what God's called you to do.

485
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:10,540
And prayer is an invitation
for a dialogue.

486
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,780
I want to meet with you like I
met with Moses.

487
00:22:15,260 --> 00:22:18,100
But I had to tell him to look
away because he couldn't withstand

488
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:18,780
my glory.

489
00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:22,420
But because of the blood of
Jesus, my glory now dwells within

490
00:22:22,420 --> 00:22:22,780
you.

491
00:22:23,660 --> 00:22:26,300
How many of you know the
scripture that says we go from glory

492
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:27,900
to glory to glory?

493
00:22:28,460 --> 00:22:29,100
Jesus.

494
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:29,500
Increase.

495
00:22:29,740 --> 00:22:30,700
Get ready to increase.

496
00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:32,380
Tell your neighbor, get ready
to increase.

497
00:22:34,220 --> 00:22:36,220
Number four is favor with man.

498
00:22:36,220 --> 00:22:38,460
Number favor with man.

499
00:22:38,540 --> 00:22:43,580
How do you increase in favor
with people if everybody hates you,

500
00:22:45,260 --> 00:22:45,980
it's you.

501
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:52,220
If you got a problem with
everybody, you're the problem.

502
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:56,940
I don't know how to tell you
this, but I've met people in life

503
00:22:57,020 --> 00:22:58,460
that it's like everywhere they go.

504
00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:01,620
I mean, somebody once told me,
you know, they worked at Starbucks

505
00:23:01,620 --> 00:23:04,610
and they would tell me, you
know, people throw their drinks through

506
00:23:04,610 --> 00:23:06,850
the window of the Star, right?

507
00:23:06,850 --> 00:23:08,290
And they throw them onto me.

508
00:23:08,290 --> 00:23:10,170
I can't stand these customers.

509
00:23:10,170 --> 00:23:11,570
And I just asked them a question.

510
00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:14,210
Do your co workers get drinks
thrown at you?

511
00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:17,490
It's the craziest thing that
never happens to them.

512
00:23:17,650 --> 00:23:19,010
The devil must hate me.

513
00:23:20,930 --> 00:23:22,450
I'm like, I got bad news.

514
00:23:23,090 --> 00:23:23,810
It's you.

515
00:23:25,890 --> 00:23:26,290
Why?

516
00:23:26,690 --> 00:23:30,230
Because you should be
increasing in favor of.

517
00:23:30,540 --> 00:23:32,780
Because Jesus increase in
favor with man.

518
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:36,220
And if you are going to get
persecuted, let it be real persecution,

519
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:37,980
not interpersonal conflict.

520
00:23:39,420 --> 00:23:42,820
Because a lot of what we're
calling persecution is not for the

521
00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:43,340
gospel.

522
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:44,780
It's for your opinion.

523
00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:46,380
You get what I'm saying?

524
00:23:46,380 --> 00:23:48,020
So if it's going to be real,
let it be real.

525
00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:49,340
Can I get an amen on that?

526
00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:55,260
So relational faithfulness and
emotional intelligence needs to increase.

527
00:23:56,150 --> 00:23:58,630
We need to become more aware
of ourselves.

528
00:23:59,270 --> 00:24:04,150
We need to grow in our ability
to discern how we are contributing

529
00:24:04,150 --> 00:24:06,070
to the situations in our lives.

530
00:24:06,390 --> 00:24:08,230
And not everything is their fault.

531
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:11,430
Not everything can be blame shifted.

532
00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:14,630
How many of you want to
increase with favor with man and

533
00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:15,190
with God?

534
00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:16,230
Do you believe it's possible?

535
00:24:16,790 --> 00:24:22,630
Okay, you know, what happened
to Jesus in Nazareth was not accidental.

536
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:26,170
There was this whole person
formation which we just talked about

537
00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:29,810
that didn't just shape his
theology, it shaped his central nervous

538
00:24:29,810 --> 00:24:30,090
system.

539
00:24:30,810 --> 00:24:34,890
And I know this is not talked
about often in churches, but Jesus

540
00:24:35,130 --> 00:24:37,050
physical body had to learn.

541
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:42,010
And your physical body has to
learn your central nervous system.

542
00:24:42,570 --> 00:24:45,770
This is the biological
component to you.

543
00:24:45,850 --> 00:24:48,890
And there are many Christians
that have never allowed the Lord

544
00:24:48,890 --> 00:24:49,610
to deal with their.

545
00:24:49,770 --> 00:24:51,130
Their central nervous system.

546
00:24:51,370 --> 00:24:55,170
I only recently started going
on the journey of dealing with my

547
00:24:55,170 --> 00:24:56,250
central nervous system.

548
00:24:56,410 --> 00:25:00,490
But what you teach your body
is you teach your body how to wait.

549
00:25:01,530 --> 00:25:05,410
For those of you who deal with
sexual sin, there is a biological

550
00:25:05,410 --> 00:25:08,330
connection where you never
taught your body how to wait.

551
00:25:09,050 --> 00:25:10,890
And you give in to temptation.

552
00:25:11,050 --> 00:25:14,450
And so, yes, there's a
spiritual component, but every time

553
00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:16,930
you give in, there's a
neurological component.

554
00:25:16,930 --> 00:25:19,040
And you've restructured your
brain to.

555
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:20,230
To not ever wait.

556
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:22,390
This is the mechanism of addiction.

557
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:24,510
You must train.

558
00:25:24,510 --> 00:25:26,950
So when Jesus was in Nazareth, now.

559
00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:30,470
You understand from a biblical
perspective why it took 30 years

560
00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:32,070
for only three years of ministry.

561
00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:35,149
Because his central nervous
system was going.

562
00:25:35,149 --> 00:25:37,190
To go through so much testing and.

563
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:40,630
So many trials that he never
would have been able to withstand

564
00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:41,030
the things.

565
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:43,750
I mean, think about how many
haters, how many.

566
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:45,290
How much persecution, the.

567
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,560
Think about how many violent
opposition that he encountered.

568
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,840
Think about the gossip and the slander.

569
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,000
It took 30 years to train his.

570
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,400
Body how to submit, how to wait.

571
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,320
How to love people so that he.

572
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,280
Could even endure three years
of intense ministry that would change

573
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:02,880
the world.

574
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,120
Is this revelation for you?

575
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,360
You know, if Jesus couldn't
learn how to be.

576
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,720
Oh, this is good.

577
00:26:11,220 --> 00:26:14,580
If Jesus couldn't learn how to
be misunderstood in the temple at

578
00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:18,700
12 years old, his central
nervous system would have never been

579
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:21,540
able to understand being
misunderstood on the cross.

580
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:26,660
To get to the cross, some of
y' all are saying, man, put me in

581
00:26:26,660 --> 00:26:27,380
the parking lot.

582
00:26:27,380 --> 00:26:29,180
Coach, put me on the coffee tank.

583
00:26:29,180 --> 00:26:31,940
Because you're realizing that
we have to do this.

584
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:33,500
We have to go through this.

585
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:34,540
It's not punishment.

586
00:26:34,540 --> 00:26:34,980
It's.

587
00:26:36,670 --> 00:26:37,670
Come on, y' all are learning.

588
00:26:37,670 --> 00:26:38,790
It's not punishment.

589
00:26:38,790 --> 00:26:40,590
It's preparation.

590
00:26:40,910 --> 00:26:44,190
It's not delay, it's development.

591
00:26:44,510 --> 00:26:46,190
Come on, now, write this one down.

592
00:26:46,750 --> 00:26:47,630
Write this down.

593
00:26:47,790 --> 00:26:51,390
I will be faithful without feedback.

594
00:26:56,350 --> 00:26:58,190
I'll just stand back here
while you write it.

595
00:26:59,390 --> 00:27:02,590
I will be faithful without feedback.

596
00:27:04,670 --> 00:27:05,870
I will be faithful.

597
00:27:05,870 --> 00:27:06,830
That's a declaration.

598
00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:09,550
Let's say it together across
all the campuses of our church.

599
00:27:09,630 --> 00:27:10,430
Say this with me.

600
00:27:10,430 --> 00:27:14,190
I will be faithful without feedback.

601
00:27:15,070 --> 00:27:16,310
Okay, now watch this.

602
00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:19,950
Your motive validates or it
nullifies your action.

603
00:27:20,670 --> 00:27:24,110
Your motive is either
validating or nullifying your action.

604
00:27:24,430 --> 00:27:26,750
If someone does something for
you in.

605
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:30,130
Public, for public
affirmation, they weren't serving

606
00:27:30,130 --> 00:27:30,490
you.

607
00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:34,210
They were literally serving
you as a.

608
00:27:34,210 --> 00:27:35,690
Vehicle to serve themselves.

609
00:27:36,490 --> 00:27:38,090
Have you ever met people like this?

610
00:27:39,130 --> 00:27:42,730
The only reason why they
helped you was to use the public

611
00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:45,850
visibility of you helping them
help themselves.

612
00:27:47,130 --> 00:27:48,890
That's the motive, right?

613
00:27:49,450 --> 00:27:51,370
And this is very important to understand.

614
00:27:51,930 --> 00:27:56,540
If someone does something nice
for you to be seen, they weren't

615
00:27:56,540 --> 00:27:57,740
actually being nice.

616
00:27:57,980 --> 00:28:01,180
They were doing something nice
as a vehicle for visibility.

617
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:04,700
And it's even worse with
social media.

618
00:28:05,580 --> 00:28:11,220
I want you to see me feed the
poor so that you think that I am

619
00:28:11,220 --> 00:28:11,820
generous.

620
00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:17,340
I want you to see me pray for
people so that you think that I am

621
00:28:17,340 --> 00:28:18,300
supernatural.

622
00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:23,020
I want you to see me preach so
that you think that I am authoritative.

623
00:28:23,530 --> 00:28:25,010
And what happens is when you do.

624
00:28:25,010 --> 00:28:27,450
It for visibility, you might
be seen.

625
00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:29,770
By man, but get rejected by heaven.

626
00:28:29,770 --> 00:28:32,810
And you'll get applause, but
you won't increase in authority.

627
00:28:32,970 --> 00:28:33,410
Come on.

628
00:28:33,410 --> 00:28:34,810
I'm trying to help somebody.

629
00:28:34,810 --> 00:28:36,530
And there are people who've
even helped.

630
00:28:36,530 --> 00:28:37,410
You with a motive.

631
00:28:37,410 --> 00:28:39,529
And their motive nullified
their help.

632
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:45,850
And this is deep because when
I look at Nazareth, humility says,

633
00:28:45,930 --> 00:28:48,490
I will be faithful without feedback.

634
00:28:49,460 --> 00:28:53,780
A fragile ego says, I will
serve you to serve me.

635
00:28:54,260 --> 00:28:58,620
But confidence in your
identity says, I will serve if nobody

636
00:28:58,620 --> 00:29:01,460
sees, because I am doing it
unto the Lord.

637
00:29:01,540 --> 00:29:03,540
And there's one who always sees.

638
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:08,500
Now you know, when you look at
the Nazareth season of Jesus, now

639
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:12,580
you know why Abraham had to
sacrifice Isaac without an audience.

640
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:17,540
He was testing his motive
before he released the favor.

641
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,120
See, this unlocks the entire Bible.

642
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Do you know why the widow
woman was asked to give her last

643
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,280
bit.

644
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,400
Of oil and flour to the prophet?

645
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,840
Yeah, yeah, now I understand.

646
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Because motives are going to
be challenged before heaven and God

647
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,160
is seeing.

648
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,760
And he will ask you to do
great sacrifices without great audiences

649
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:40,560
to determine.

650
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,000
Whether you're great or not.

651
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Come on.

652
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,140
And it's the ones who will go
into obstruction, obscurity.

653
00:29:45,140 --> 00:29:49,100
It's the ones who are saying,
God, if nobody knows I do it, I don't

654
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:50,500
have to put my name on it.

655
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:53,780
I don't have to do it for
likes, for comments, for shares.

656
00:29:53,780 --> 00:29:57,860
I'm doing it unto Jesus
because heaven is taking record.

657
00:29:58,020 --> 00:30:00,020
And before God, I know my heart's.

658
00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:01,980
Gonna be a pure heart.

659
00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:08,420
Is there anybody who will say,
God, make that me a pure reflection

660
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:10,180
of your son, Jesus.

661
00:30:11,150 --> 00:30:11,550
You know.

662
00:30:11,790 --> 00:30:19,470
Now you know why God gave his
only begotten Son and he did it quietly.

663
00:30:20,270 --> 00:30:24,110
Born into a manger without a
big audience.

664
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:30,470
Because faithfulness that
doesn't require feedback always produces

665
00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:31,470
eternal fruit.

666
00:30:33,310 --> 00:30:38,590
Faithfulness that doesn't
require feedback always produces

667
00:30:38,590 --> 00:30:39,630
eternal fruit.

668
00:30:40,430 --> 00:30:44,470
It's the things that you do
when nobody is watching and you say,

669
00:30:44,470 --> 00:30:46,590
God, if they never tell me I'm
doing a good job.

670
00:30:46,910 --> 00:30:50,430
If they never tell me and I'll
tell you how I can't listen.

671
00:30:51,310 --> 00:30:54,830
Many people have left the
local church because they expected

672
00:30:54,990 --> 00:30:58,110
their pastor to publicly
affirm what they did.

673
00:30:59,070 --> 00:31:02,270
Many people have left the
local church because they expected

674
00:31:02,590 --> 00:31:04,030
somebody would acknowledge it.

675
00:31:04,580 --> 00:31:07,460
Listen, in a good church, you
are gonna be acknowledged.

676
00:31:07,460 --> 00:31:08,500
You will be seen.

677
00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:10,820
But the thing is, you have to all.

678
00:31:10,820 --> 00:31:14,460
We all have to deal with Our
own motive, because who are we doing

679
00:31:14,460 --> 00:31:15,060
it for?

680
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:18,580
And God will challenge you for
many, many years about that.

681
00:31:18,580 --> 00:31:22,700
And I feel like this message
is especially important to an Internet

682
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:27,460
age because of the obscurity,
because of the hiddenness and the

683
00:31:27,460 --> 00:31:29,060
faithfulness of Nazareth.

684
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:34,160
Rejection didn't derail Jesus
later on because you can't affect

685
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,240
a person with rejection who
already killed their ego before you

686
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,840
tried to kill their reputation.

687
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Mike, I see all the people
making videos about you online.

688
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,440
Oh, no, no, let me explain.

689
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,840
At your last church, everybody
talked about your pastor there too.

690
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,400
He just wasn't significant
enough for them to publish videos

691
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:57,920
about it.

692
00:31:58,410 --> 00:32:00,250
So it was the same amount of gossip.

693
00:32:00,490 --> 00:32:03,690
It's just that I've come to
the point where people can get views

694
00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:05,290
putting my name on their content.

695
00:32:05,610 --> 00:32:07,090
And so the thing is, your church.

696
00:32:07,090 --> 00:32:09,770
Gossip, they talk just as much
about your pastor.

697
00:32:09,770 --> 00:32:11,130
They just did at the dinner table.

698
00:32:11,130 --> 00:32:12,170
Not in the YouTube.

699
00:32:12,810 --> 00:32:14,010
In the YouTube table.

700
00:32:14,169 --> 00:32:15,210
You get what I'm saying?

701
00:32:15,450 --> 00:32:16,810
So it ain't nothing different.

702
00:32:17,290 --> 00:32:19,970
Matter of fact, some of you
made the video, you just never hit

703
00:32:19,970 --> 00:32:21,930
record, you know what I'm
trying to say?

704
00:32:21,930 --> 00:32:23,730
So I don't know if I could go
to V1.

705
00:32:23,730 --> 00:32:25,000
There's all these videos about
about my.

706
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,520
Pastor, but there's all these
conversations about your last pastor

707
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,760
that never made it to video.

708
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,000
It's the same spirit, it's the
same flesh.

709
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,040
And here's the thing.

710
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,040
Jesus dealt with it, so we're
gonna deal with it too.

711
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,520
But Jesus said, I killed my
ego in Nazareth so that I could survive

712
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,560
your rejection in Capernaum.

713
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,560
You can't touch me because I'm
a dead man walking and I've made

714
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,490
myself of no reputation so
that when I got up on the other side.

715
00:32:53,490 --> 00:32:55,450
You can't kill what doesn't exist.

716
00:32:55,770 --> 00:32:58,810
So Mike Signorelli died before
I got to New York.

717
00:32:58,890 --> 00:33:01,050
So you can't touch me while
I'm here.

718
00:33:01,210 --> 00:33:04,530
I don't care what you think
about me because I never did it for

719
00:33:04,530 --> 00:33:06,050
an audience of all of y'.

720
00:33:06,050 --> 00:33:06,210
All.

721
00:33:06,210 --> 00:33:08,170
I did it for an audience of one.

722
00:33:08,250 --> 00:33:12,330
But what happens in private
eventually comes out publicly.

723
00:33:13,210 --> 00:33:14,770
This is the thing about Jesus.

724
00:33:14,770 --> 00:33:17,930
Private intercession becomes
public power.

725
00:33:18,780 --> 00:33:23,340
Private death to the ego
becomes a public surviving of rejection.

726
00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:25,540
And this is the message that
God has for you.

727
00:33:25,540 --> 00:33:28,020
Some of you are like, lord,
use me for my calling.

728
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:31,020
And he says, die to your ego
so you could survive the comment

729
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:32,380
section of your calling.

730
00:33:35,020 --> 00:33:38,460
I pastored rows of empty seats before.

731
00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:41,020
I pastored campuses across the country.

732
00:33:41,340 --> 00:33:45,670
I preach with the same
integrity for 20 people than I do

733
00:33:45,670 --> 00:33:47,990
for 20,000 watching right now.

734
00:33:48,150 --> 00:33:50,190
And some people say, oh, he changed.

735
00:33:50,190 --> 00:33:50,870
I did.

736
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:55,710
I'm increasing in stature, I'm
increasing in favor and I'm increasing

737
00:33:55,710 --> 00:33:56,470
in wisdom.

738
00:33:56,550 --> 00:33:59,750
The real question is, why
haven't you changed?

739
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:03,270
Come on, somebody help me
preach this sermon today.

740
00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:05,470
People look at you.

741
00:34:05,470 --> 00:34:06,390
Oh, you change.

742
00:34:06,550 --> 00:34:08,070
Yeah, we're supposed to change.

743
00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:09,800
I'm going from glory to.

744
00:34:09,950 --> 00:34:11,550
To glory, to glory.

745
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:14,750
I got a new revelation, I got
a new authority.

746
00:34:14,750 --> 00:34:16,030
I got a new power.

747
00:34:16,110 --> 00:34:18,710
You're going to have to kill
that idea of the person you used

748
00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:20,590
to met, because he's taking me higher.

749
00:34:22,110 --> 00:34:27,830
God never once in those
moments, said, mike, I know that

750
00:34:27,830 --> 00:34:31,550
there's only so many people
grow faster.

751
00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:33,550
He never told me, grow faster.

752
00:34:34,190 --> 00:34:39,380
He said, I'm pleased with your
yes, and I'm pleased with your motive

753
00:34:39,380 --> 00:34:40,660
when nobody sees.

754
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:41,700
Keep going.

755
00:34:43,620 --> 00:34:45,540
Some of you need to hear this
right now.

756
00:34:45,700 --> 00:34:46,900
This is prophetic.

757
00:34:47,140 --> 00:34:50,020
God is not disappointed in
your pace.

758
00:34:50,660 --> 00:34:52,660
He is delighted in your faithfulness.

759
00:34:53,460 --> 00:34:55,540
Let my life be a witness to yours.

760
00:34:56,820 --> 00:34:59,380
All the odds are against what
you're seeing right now.

761
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:03,380
All the odds are against what
I've done, what our church has done.

762
00:35:04,250 --> 00:35:09,130
But see, what happens is when
God is honored by your faithfulness,

763
00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:11,450
you don't have to worry about pace.

764
00:35:12,250 --> 00:35:16,570
God will never tell you grow
faster, but he will always tell you,

765
00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:18,010
keep being faithful.

766
00:35:18,170 --> 00:35:18,890
Keep seeing.

767
00:35:18,890 --> 00:35:20,090
Yeah, saying yes.

768
00:35:20,250 --> 00:35:22,570
And keep seeing my promises fulfilled.

769
00:35:23,370 --> 00:35:26,730
Now, as I close, I want to
take you from Nazareth to Jordan,

770
00:35:28,010 --> 00:35:31,460
because this is Bethlehem to
Nazareth, Nazareth to Jordan.

771
00:35:31,460 --> 00:35:34,700
And I. I probably will not be
able to drop you off at Capernaum,

772
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:37,980
but my goal is to pick up in
Capernaum we're literally journeying

773
00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:38,620
with Jesus.

774
00:35:38,620 --> 00:35:39,060
It's.

775
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:41,900
I'm telling you and, and stay
locked in for this series, because

776
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:43,380
I believe it's going to change
your life.

777
00:35:44,020 --> 00:35:46,820
Thirty years in Nazareth
unlocked one moment now.

778
00:35:47,620 --> 00:35:50,020
And this is the best way to
end this message.

779
00:35:50,740 --> 00:35:51,940
Luke, chapter three.

780
00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:55,430
So we just went from Luke two
to Luke three, and I'm telling you,

781
00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:57,390
your pastor preached this
wrong your whole life.

782
00:35:57,390 --> 00:35:58,830
So I'm just about to mess you up.

783
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:00,350
So just get ready for it.

784
00:36:01,230 --> 00:36:06,790
And while he was praying, the
heavens were open and a voice came

785
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:07,550
from heaven.

786
00:36:07,630 --> 00:36:09,870
You are my beloved Son.

787
00:36:12,190 --> 00:36:12,750
Son.

788
00:36:14,590 --> 00:36:21,160
Not Savior, not prophet, not
preacher, not.

789
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,280
Evangelist, not demon slayer,
not worship leader.

790
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,600
You are my beloved Son.

791
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,360
With you I am well pleased.

792
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,560
Heaven doesn't validate results.

793
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,520
Heaven affirms identity.

794
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,360
I need you to catch this
before we go deeper.

795
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,640
There's no miracle yet, no
sermon yet, no demon cast out yet,

796
00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:49,110
yet just identity.

797
00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:52,550
Heaven doesn't say good job
over the results.

798
00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:55,830
Heaven says, you are mine.

799
00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:59,510
Let me make it even more plain.

800
00:36:59,670 --> 00:37:03,830
Many of you have said, heard
pastors say things like, well, he

801
00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:06,070
said, I'm well pleased with
you, son.

802
00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:07,870
Before he did anything.

803
00:37:07,870 --> 00:37:12,510
No, no, he didn't do the
ministry things yet, but he actually

804
00:37:12,510 --> 00:37:17,030
fulfilled the hardest part of
ministry, which was 30 years of obscurity

805
00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:21,310
and faithfulness and 30 years
of staying locked in and 30 years

806
00:37:21,310 --> 00:37:24,990
of submitting to his parents,
even though his intellectual prowess

807
00:37:24,990 --> 00:37:27,750
was greater, even though his
gifting was greater.

808
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:30,150
And the thing is, when pastors say.

809
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:33,550
Well, look at God affirm Jesus
before Jesus did anything.

810
00:37:33,550 --> 00:37:38,190
No, no, he actually affirmed
Jesus in response to Jesus doing

811
00:37:38,190 --> 00:37:42,480
the hardest thing thing first,
because casting out demons is easy.

812
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,240
Y' all aren't even getting it, y'.

813
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:45,440
All.

814
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,960
The sons of Skiva use the name
of Jesus to cast out demons, people.

815
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,320
It's so easy to cast out demons.

816
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,120
All you do is tell, tell them, go.

817
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,800
It's just like kicking a
little Chihuahua to tell them, get

818
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:58,400
out of the room.

819
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,840
It ain't that big of a deal.

820
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:02,400
Well, look at me, I'm a demon slayer.

821
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,435
No, no, first of all, you're
using Christ's authority to do the

822
00:38:05,435 --> 00:38:08,060
word work, which doesn't make
you that much important anyways.

823
00:38:09,740 --> 00:38:12,180
I prayed for a sick person and
they recovered.

824
00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:14,940
Yeah, but was it your power or
was it his power?

825
00:38:15,820 --> 00:38:19,860
So you get credit for being
the glove, but he's the hand, you

826
00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:20,700
get what I'm saying?

827
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:23,900
So what Jesus is getting
affirmed for.

828
00:38:23,980 --> 00:38:26,940
Is actually the hardest thing
he's getting.

829
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:28,740
God is saying, this is my son.

830
00:38:28,740 --> 00:38:29,980
In whom I'm well pleased.

831
00:38:29,980 --> 00:38:31,130
But what was he planning?

832
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,000
Pleased with?

833
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,600
He was pleased with his
submission, he was pleased with his

834
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,840
restraint, he was pleased with
his patience, he was pleased with

835
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,200
his long suffering.

836
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,880
He was pleased with, oh, come
on, you're about to get it.

837
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,920
You're about to get it.

838
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,080
So when your pastor said, oh, look.

839
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,040
This is how God.

840
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,080
God's pleased with us before
we do anything to know that's not

841
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,040
necessarily true.

842
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,830
Or what happened was Jesus
just went through three decades of

843
00:39:00,830 --> 00:39:02,230
testing and trials.

844
00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:04,950
And then the Lord says, this
is my son.

845
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:07,750
Now he's released to become
the Savior.

846
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:09,750
Did you get that?

847
00:39:11,190 --> 00:39:14,710
He passed the sun test before
Savior work.

848
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:18,470
And many of us in the Kingdom,
we want to do Savior work because

849
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:19,430
that goes viral.

850
00:39:20,070 --> 00:39:22,830
We want to do Savior work
because that's the thing that gets

851
00:39:22,830 --> 00:39:23,060
a point.

852
00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:28,010
APPLAUSE But God says, learn
how to be a daughter, learn how to

853
00:39:28,010 --> 00:39:28,730
be a son.

854
00:39:29,370 --> 00:39:31,490
Go through that season, no
matter how long it is.

855
00:39:31,490 --> 00:39:32,730
And then you'll be released.

856
00:39:33,290 --> 00:39:34,810
I feel a grace on this.

857
00:39:37,290 --> 00:39:40,170
You know, people don't know
this, but at Jesus baptism God's

858
00:39:40,170 --> 00:39:43,530
not even speaking randomly,
he's actually quoting scripture.

859
00:39:43,610 --> 00:39:45,050
And many of you don't know this.

860
00:39:45,450 --> 00:39:49,500
Psalm, chapter 2, verse 7
says, you are my son, today I have

861
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:50,420
begotten you.

862
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:54,180
God is literally quoting the
word to the word.

863
00:39:54,180 --> 00:39:55,460
How amazing is that?

864
00:39:55,620 --> 00:39:57,700
Isaiah, chapter 42, verse 1.

865
00:39:57,860 --> 00:40:02,580
Behold my servant, whom I
uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul

866
00:40:02,580 --> 00:40:03,180
delights.

867
00:40:03,180 --> 00:40:08,820
I have put my spirit upon him,
Royal sonship, suffering servant.

868
00:40:09,620 --> 00:40:13,140
This is the grace that we see
in Nazareth.

869
00:40:13,460 --> 00:40:17,400
Jesus is a first confirmed a
son before he becomes the Savior.

870
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,000
And many of you are like, why
did God Send me to V1 church to sit.

871
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,120
Why did God send me to this church?

872
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,400
Well, how is he going to
possibly make room for me?

873
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,400
No, no, listen, you're not
being delayed.

874
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,520
You're being developed and
you're not being punished.

875
00:40:41,630 --> 00:40:42,750
You're being prepared.

876
00:40:45,390 --> 00:40:49,070
God will teach you how to be
faithful before you're powerful so

877
00:40:49,070 --> 00:40:51,150
that you can sustain being powerful.

878
00:40:52,510 --> 00:40:56,190
God will give you identity
before assignment so that when the

879
00:40:56,190 --> 00:40:58,830
assignment is accomplished,
your identity remains.

880
00:41:00,430 --> 00:41:01,430
Come on, clock it.

881
00:41:01,430 --> 00:41:02,830
Gen Z, this is wisdom.

882
00:41:03,230 --> 00:41:05,150
I'm spitting bars for you
right now.

883
00:41:05,870 --> 00:41:06,510
Now watch.

884
00:41:06,870 --> 00:41:09,830
I'm going to read it again and
I want you to catch this because

885
00:41:09,830 --> 00:41:10,230
this was.

886
00:41:10,230 --> 00:41:12,790
I wrote this out by hand and
I'm telling you I was.

887
00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:14,790
The Lord was just breathing on
this message.

888
00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:17,590
And this is how we're going to
transition out this weekend I'm going

889
00:41:17,590 --> 00:41:19,270
to try to deliver you to Capernaum.

890
00:41:20,310 --> 00:41:24,150
Jesus is affirmed as son
before he becomes Savior.

891
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:29,030
Faithful before powerful,
identity before assignment.

892
00:41:29,350 --> 00:41:33,350
Because if you reverse that
order, you can move crowds while

893
00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:34,150
missing God.

894
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,200
And this is the state of the
church right now.

895
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,080
We can move crowds, but we
miss God.

896
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,640
We can get thunderous
applause, but heaven does not respond.

897
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,559
And I'm telling you what I
desire is to have a church that says

898
00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:52,800
we are going to be nameless
and faceless.

899
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,080
I don't care if history
records me.

900
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,600
In the books, but I know that.

901
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,560
Every tear is recorded in heaven.

902
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,630
And I'm weeping over New York City.

903
00:42:00,630 --> 00:42:04,470
I'm weeping over Long island
like Jesus wept over Jerusalem.

904
00:42:04,550 --> 00:42:07,350
I'm weeping for my family and
my grandchildren.

905
00:42:07,510 --> 00:42:10,790
And God, I know that you can
use me to be a breaker.

906
00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:14,230
I know God, that you can use
me for this third great awakening.

907
00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:17,110
And God, I'm humbly submitting
myself to you.

908
00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:19,350
And I will do what you tell me
to do.

909
00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:21,270
I will go where you tell me to go.

910
00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:23,270
I will give what you tell me
to give.

911
00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:25,270
I'll say what you tell me to say.

912
00:42:25,350 --> 00:42:29,620
And God, God, I am going to
become faithful so that when I become

913
00:42:29,620 --> 00:42:31,940
powerful, I can sustain the power.

914
00:42:32,180 --> 00:42:35,260
God, I'm going to be submitted
so that you lift me up.

915
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:38,460
Are there three people in this
place that will jump up to their

916
00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:40,860
feet and say, God, use me.

917
00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:44,940
I'm here, I'm available, I'm
willing, no matter how long it takes.

918
00:42:44,940 --> 00:42:46,580
God, use me.

919
00:42:50,180 --> 00:42:51,440
I got good news for you.

920
00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:56,310
The greatest threat to your
calling is not opposition.

921
00:42:56,710 --> 00:42:59,510
It's building your identity on
your usefulness.

922
00:43:01,270 --> 00:43:03,110
So when you say, God, use me.

923
00:43:03,350 --> 00:43:05,190
It'S not because you're useful.

924
00:43:05,350 --> 00:43:08,150
It's because you're submitted
and you belong to him.

925
00:43:09,590 --> 00:43:14,110
Because God in a moment can
make you a preacher, but God has

926
00:43:14,110 --> 00:43:16,150
no ability to make you have integrity.

927
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,280
God in a moment could make you.

928
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,760
A singer, but God has no
ability to develop your character

929
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:23,760
beyond what you allow.

930
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:26,400
That's what we bring to God.

931
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,040
And this is the time before we go.

932
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,440
Because listen, for the next
three months, we're going to Capernaum,

933
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,480
we're going down that journey.

934
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,440
It's going to be a crazy, wild journey.

935
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,640
But when I look at these years
of Jesus, this is what I say.

936
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,640
Jesus is baptized.

937
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,580
And that's why temptation
comes next.

938
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:48,900
Right after the baptism of
Jesus, he's released into the wilderness.

939
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:50,700
And the wilderness brings temptation.

940
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:51,060
Why?

941
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:55,940
Because Satan does not attack
gifting, he attacks identity.

942
00:43:57,220 --> 00:44:02,620
Satan uses this line, if you
are the Son of God, he didn't say

943
00:44:02,620 --> 00:44:03,860
if you are a preacher.

944
00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:06,780
He didn't say if you're
anointed to intercede and pray.

945
00:44:06,780 --> 00:44:09,060
He didn't say if you're an
anointed worship leader.

946
00:44:09,060 --> 00:44:11,340
He literally said, said, if
you are.

947
00:44:11,340 --> 00:44:12,380
The Son of God.

948
00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:16,700
So Satan does not tempt your
gifting, he tempts your identity.

949
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:19,260
But your identity is formed in Nazareth.

950
00:44:19,260 --> 00:44:20,860
And there's some of you that
don't understand.

951
00:44:21,020 --> 00:44:25,420
God is going to take you to do
things that exceed your wildest imagination.

952
00:44:25,580 --> 00:44:28,020
But he is forming the
character and.

953
00:44:28,020 --> 00:44:31,860
The integrity and the wisdom
and the favor and the stature to

954
00:44:31,860 --> 00:44:33,580
be able to withstand it right here.

955
00:44:33,580 --> 00:44:35,180
And he's a holy God.

956
00:44:35,180 --> 00:44:38,870
And God, I thank you that your
ways are higher than my ways and

957
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:40,900
that your thoughts are higher
than my God.

958
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:44,100
If I would have got everything
I prayed for, it would have wrecked

959
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:44,620
me already.

960
00:44:44,860 --> 00:44:47,660
But God, I say you wrecked me
with your presence.

961
00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:49,420
Because you are the gift.

962
00:44:49,660 --> 00:44:50,780
You are the reward.

963
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:52,940
The reward is not the pulpit.

964
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:54,620
The reward is your presence.

965
00:44:54,779 --> 00:44:58,940
The reward is not the
opportunity of the stadium God.

966
00:44:58,940 --> 00:45:01,420
The reward is the intimacy
with you.

967
00:45:01,580 --> 00:45:03,820
And God, I ask for more of you.

968
00:45:04,140 --> 00:45:05,740
Not more opportunity.

969
00:45:05,820 --> 00:45:06,530
I ask for more.

970
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:07,480
More of you.

971
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,400
This is how we become a
worshiping church.

972
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,720
Because if you're worshiping
your gifting, then you're.

973
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:17,560
You'll be sifted in the wilderness.

974
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,280
But if you worship him and you
don't care about your gifting, then

975
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,000
from that place, he'll use you
to continue the ministry.

976
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,080
I feel something right now.

977
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,600
Do you feel it stirring as well?

978
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,920
Because God is transforming
this church into a worshiping church,

979
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,000
a praying church.

980
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,920
I believe that we are here to
literally participate in opening

981
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,560
an old well of revival.

982
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,320
And it's gonna open.

983
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,680
But the thing is, once you
remove the debris from that well,

984
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,000
you gotta prime that water to
begin to flow.

985
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,160
So right now, that's what
we're gonna do.

986
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,920
We're gonna prime the water to flow.

987
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,800
We're gonna prime the water to
flow across every campus in the United

988
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:57,160
States.

989
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,610
And everybody watching right
now because the enemy has the same

990
00:46:01,610 --> 00:46:05,250
tactic, but a different
century, and he's attacking your

991
00:46:05,250 --> 00:46:05,930
identity.

992
00:46:06,010 --> 00:46:07,450
Don't they know who you are?

993
00:46:07,690 --> 00:46:09,090
Don't they know what you can do?

994
00:46:09,090 --> 00:46:09,290
No.

995
00:46:09,290 --> 00:46:11,650
No, I can do nothing apart
from him.

996
00:46:11,650 --> 00:46:12,450
I am nothing.

997
00:46:12,450 --> 00:46:14,890
He is the vine and I am the branch.

998
00:46:14,890 --> 00:46:15,770
Oh, you know what?

999
00:46:15,770 --> 00:46:18,090
When I'm supposed to do it,
the Lord will call.

1000
00:46:18,170 --> 00:46:19,450
I'm like Joseph.

1001
00:46:19,450 --> 00:46:21,210
The prison wasn't punishment.

1002
00:46:21,290 --> 00:46:22,730
The prison was preparation.

1003
00:46:22,730 --> 00:46:24,810
I'm like Joseph and Joseph.

1004
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,440
Nobody could stop him from
becoming number two over Egypt.

1005
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,080
See, I'm just like Moses.

1006
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,160
Moses was being divinely
positioned from God and even with

1007
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,480
a stutter, was going to make
it to his destination.

1008
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,320
And so I got the same trust as Moses.

1009
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,440
I got the same trust as Joseph.

1010
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:42,640
God will bring me.

1011
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,440
All I got to do is worship my
way into the presence of God.

1012
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,920
Worship my way into intimacy.

1013
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,370
Pray my way into intimacy.

1014
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,840
And the Lord himself will
begin to lead me through that.

1015
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,440
Come on, let's do this together.

1016
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,920
Lift your hands towards heaven
right now.

1017
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,240
And I want us to begin to.

1018
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:05,560
Lift up this music across
every campus right now.

1019
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,080
And here's what happens.

1020
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,080
Uncertainty melts away.

1021
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,040
Come on.

1022
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,080
Jesus was being tempted in the wilderness.

1023
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,240
Many of you are in a
wilderness season.

1024
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,280
You're coming out of Nazareth
into temptation.

1025
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,660
The devil wants you to start
too soon.

1026
00:47:20,820 --> 00:47:23,380
The devil's testing what you
think about yourself.

1027
00:47:23,540 --> 00:47:25,980
But this is when you begin to
worship right now.

1028
00:47:25,980 --> 00:47:30,140
And you begin to lift up your
voice and say, God, I believe that

1029
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:31,860
you are going to do this
through me.

1030
00:47:31,940 --> 00:47:35,540
I believe, God, that I'M going
to be humble and I'm going to be

1031
00:47:35,540 --> 00:47:36,100
patient.

1032
00:47:36,180 --> 00:47:39,380
And, Lord, you yourself are
going to lead and guide me.

1033
00:47:39,460 --> 00:47:41,060
Come on, let's begin to pray.

1034
00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:52,250
Hendrebe, Shindrie, Istanbul
Every spirit that is, every tormenting,

1035
00:47:52,250 --> 00:47:56,330
vexing spirit, we break your
power over the minds of this church

1036
00:47:56,330 --> 00:47:56,970
right now.

1037
00:47:57,290 --> 00:48:02,330
Every spirit of condemnation,
every spirit of impatience, every

1038
00:48:02,330 --> 00:48:04,890
spirit that is seducing and
drawing out.

1039
00:48:04,970 --> 00:48:08,570
We say, silence yourself and
shut your mouth.

1040
00:48:08,650 --> 00:48:10,730
We will not receive your lies.

1041
00:48:11,050 --> 00:48:14,960
Every demon that's lying, that
says we're too old, that we've missed

1042
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:15,600
our moment.

1043
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:16,560
No, no, no, no.

1044
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:17,960
I am not delayed.

1045
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,600
I am being developed.

1046
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,000
I am right on time.

1047
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,920
Every spirit that lies and
says, you're in the wrong place.

1048
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,120
No, no, no, no.

1049
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:30,000
I am in the presence of God
and there is nothing that can touch

1050
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:30,960
me in his presence.

1051
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,000
Come on, lift up your voice,
church from the front all the way

1052
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:34,600
to the back.

1053
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:40,680
Come on, Come on.

1054
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,240
Tell him.

1055
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,870
Holy spir.

1056
00:48:46,020 --> 00:48:49,420
To the ground under the weight
of your.

1057
00:48:49,420 --> 00:48:49,860
Come on.

1058
00:48:49,860 --> 00:48:50,500
Cry out.

1059
00:48:51,220 --> 00:48:53,700
Holy Spirit, take over.

1060
00:48:55,540 --> 00:48:56,900
We are desperate.

1061
00:48:57,380 --> 00:48:58,900
We are desperate.

1062
00:48:58,980 --> 00:49:03,780
We are desperate just for a
touch of your presence.

1063
00:49:04,580 --> 00:49:07,060
Holy Spirit, take over.

1064
00:49:10,260 --> 00:49:16,740
Upon our knees, face to the
ground under the weight of your glory.

1065
00:49:17,860 --> 00:49:20,340
Holy Spirit takes over.

1066
00:49:21,540 --> 00:49:24,140
Okay, come on, stay on your feet.

1067
00:49:24,140 --> 00:49:26,260
Stay on your feet at every
campus right now.

1068
00:49:26,580 --> 00:49:28,020
So I'm taking you through this.

1069
00:49:28,820 --> 00:49:30,900
This is what Jesus did in the wilderness.

1070
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:33,300
He said, it is written.

1071
00:49:33,700 --> 00:49:35,780
This is why we do our daily
growth journal.

1072
00:49:36,100 --> 00:49:38,500
This is why we feast on the
word of God.

1073
00:49:38,660 --> 00:49:41,140
Because you don't fight Satan
with a worship song.

1074
00:49:41,310 --> 00:49:42,750
You fight him with the word of God.

1075
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:43,950
It is written.

1076
00:49:44,190 --> 00:49:45,630
So right now we're going to do that.

1077
00:49:45,630 --> 00:49:47,150
We're going to actually talk back.

1078
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:49,590
Because I'm going to train
your mouth, I'm going to train your

1079
00:49:49,590 --> 00:49:52,590
vocal cords to get in
alignment with the word of God.

1080
00:49:52,750 --> 00:49:56,030
So when you're feeling fear,
what do you say to the spirit of

1081
00:49:56,030 --> 00:49:56,430
fear?

1082
00:49:56,510 --> 00:49:59,190
It is written, God has not given.

1083
00:49:59,190 --> 00:50:03,710
Me the spirit of fear, but of
love, power and a sound mind.

1084
00:50:03,870 --> 00:50:05,070
So shut your mouth.

1085
00:50:05,070 --> 00:50:05,550
Fear.

1086
00:50:05,630 --> 00:50:07,530
I bind up every demonic spirit.

1087
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,480
Spirit of fear.

1088
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,080
Remember, I find it.

1089
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,800
See, God is not going to do
the work for you because he empowered.

1090
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:14,720
You to do the work.

1091
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,040
And so if you've been feeling
unusual fear over your finances,

1092
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,280
over your health, over your
relationships, fear, fear, fear.

1093
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,640
Come on, lift your hand right now.

1094
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:25,360
Let me see your hand.

1095
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Anybody been dealing with fear?

1096
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,360
Come on, say it with me right now.

1097
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:34,600
Say, it is written, God has
not given me this spirit of fear,

1098
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,640
but of love, power and a sound mind.

1099
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:40,920
Fear.

1100
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:42,760
I Bind you now.

1101
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,760
In the name of Jesus, I rebuke you.

1102
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:48,440
Go now.

1103
00:50:49,479 --> 00:50:50,280
Go now.

1104
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,120
I reject your lies in Jesus name.

1105
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:55,880
Come on, come on, come on.

1106
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:56,760
So this is it.

1107
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,340
What about your physical.

1108
00:50:59,410 --> 00:50:59,890
Physical health?

1109
00:51:00,530 --> 00:51:02,730
The devil lies you and says,
oh, you're.

1110
00:51:02,730 --> 00:51:04,450
You're gonna die prematurely.

1111
00:51:04,770 --> 00:51:06,930
You're not going to live the
fullness of your days.

1112
00:51:07,410 --> 00:51:08,930
What about your physical health?

1113
00:51:09,570 --> 00:51:11,170
See, this is what the Bible says.

1114
00:51:12,530 --> 00:51:15,610
Says, forget not his benefit,
for he.

1115
00:51:15,610 --> 00:51:17,970
Cures all of your diseases.

1116
00:51:18,450 --> 00:51:21,010
Doesn't say some, it says all.

1117
00:51:21,010 --> 00:51:23,890
But, Mike, there's no medicine
that can cure this.

1118
00:51:23,890 --> 00:51:25,530
But, Mike, it's incurable.

1119
00:51:25,530 --> 00:51:27,810
No, no, it's incurable by doctors.

1120
00:51:28,190 --> 00:51:31,430
But I serve the great
physician and he can cure.

1121
00:51:31,430 --> 00:51:31,870
In that.

1122
00:51:31,870 --> 00:51:34,030
Matter of fact, there's a
legal document.

1123
00:51:34,430 --> 00:51:37,710
There's a contract with the
kingdom called the Holy Bible.

1124
00:51:37,790 --> 00:51:42,830
And in that he says, forget
not my benefits, for he cures all.

1125
00:51:42,910 --> 00:51:44,990
He heals all of my diseases.

1126
00:51:45,710 --> 00:51:48,030
Oh, I feel the anointing all
over me.

1127
00:51:48,670 --> 00:51:49,390
So you got.

1128
00:51:49,470 --> 00:51:50,630
But, Mike, you don't understand.

1129
00:51:50,630 --> 00:51:51,870
No, no, you don't understand.

1130
00:51:52,190 --> 00:51:53,640
You got to make a choice, because.

1131
00:51:53,870 --> 00:51:55,230
Who am I agreeing with?

1132
00:51:55,310 --> 00:51:58,110
As for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord.

1133
00:51:58,110 --> 00:52:00,990
And I will agree with the
report of the Lord.

1134
00:52:00,990 --> 00:52:05,470
And until the doctor's report
aligns with God's report, I'm going

1135
00:52:05,470 --> 00:52:07,230
to keep declaring God's report.

1136
00:52:07,870 --> 00:52:09,630
Somebody said, I don't know
about this.

1137
00:52:09,630 --> 00:52:10,830
This is word of faith.

1138
00:52:10,830 --> 00:52:12,830
It is word of faith I speak.

1139
00:52:12,830 --> 00:52:16,430
And faith is the evidence of
things hoped for and the substance

1140
00:52:16,430 --> 00:52:17,630
of things not seen.

1141
00:52:17,710 --> 00:52:21,060
I speak it, and God says, I'm
going to honor your faith.

1142
00:52:21,060 --> 00:52:21,210
I.

1143
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,680
Your faith has made you.

1144
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,360
It doesn't say your faith has
made you partially cured.

1145
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,560
It doesn't say your faith has
managed your symptoms.

1146
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,880
It says your faith has made
you whole.

1147
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,880
Oh, y' all gotta stop agreeing with.

1148
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,680
The enemy about a partial healing.

1149
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,080
I'm believing God for a whole
healing, a whole restoration.

1150
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,040
Oh, come on.

1151
00:52:47,410 --> 00:52:50,130
I'm trying to tell you, this
is about identity now.

1152
00:52:50,450 --> 00:52:53,050
So when the enemy tells you,
oh, yeah, you're going to be in a

1153
00:52:53,050 --> 00:52:54,570
wheelchair, you're going to be crippled.

1154
00:52:54,570 --> 00:52:57,130
When the devil tells you that,
you're not going to live the fullness

1155
00:52:57,130 --> 00:52:59,570
of your days, Devil, shut your mouth.

1156
00:52:59,730 --> 00:53:01,810
My body, it is written.

1157
00:53:01,970 --> 00:53:05,090
My body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost.

1158
00:53:05,330 --> 00:53:08,650
And the same spirit that
raised Christ from the dead lives

1159
00:53:08,650 --> 00:53:09,930
on the inside of me.

1160
00:53:09,930 --> 00:53:13,090
And I have access to healing
through the cross.

1161
00:53:13,630 --> 00:53:13,870
And.

1162
00:53:13,870 --> 00:53:17,150
Come on, lift your hand if you
need healing in your body right now.

1163
00:53:17,630 --> 00:53:18,510
Oh, come on.

1164
00:53:18,750 --> 00:53:19,310
Come on.

1165
00:53:19,710 --> 00:53:20,950
All I see is a lot of.

1166
00:53:20,950 --> 00:53:22,910
Temples getting ready to get fixed.

1167
00:53:23,390 --> 00:53:23,950
Come on.

1168
00:53:24,270 --> 00:53:26,870
All I see is a lot of bodies
getting ready to be healed right

1169
00:53:26,870 --> 00:53:27,150
now.

1170
00:53:27,390 --> 00:53:28,390
Say this with me.

1171
00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:29,310
It is written.

1172
00:53:30,350 --> 00:53:30,710
Yeah.

1173
00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:31,030
Come on.

1174
00:53:31,030 --> 00:53:32,270
No, no, no, no, no, no.

1175
00:53:32,830 --> 00:53:35,390
You gotta say it with
authority because.

1176
00:53:35,470 --> 00:53:36,750
Say it is written.

1177
00:53:37,630 --> 00:53:41,190
My body, the temple of the
Holy Spirit.

1178
00:53:42,790 --> 00:53:49,230
I have access to divine
healing through the stripes of Jesus

1179
00:53:49,230 --> 00:53:49,590
Christ.

1180
00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:58,390
I am healed and my faith has
made me whole, lacking nothing.

1181
00:53:59,430 --> 00:54:05,190
Father, I thank you that my
body will be completely restored

1182
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:13,440
right now during this prayer
because I have faith in your words

1183
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,360
and I believe in Jesus name.

1184
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:18,480
Amen.

1185
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:19,600
Come on.

1186
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:20,160
Come on.

1187
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:22,320
So this is what I want you to do.

1188
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:23,880
This is what I want you to.

1189
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,240
Do across every campus this week.

1190
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,240
Remember, you went from
Bethlehem to Nazareth and now you've

1191
00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:31,920
gone from Nazareth to the wilderness.

1192
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:36,000
So this week, anytime the
devil tries to say if you are a.

1193
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,840
A child of God, if you are
you, you clap back and you say, it

1194
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:40,400
is written.

1195
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:41,040
You fool.

1196
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,040
You listen to me.

1197
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,400
I'm.

1198
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,400
I'm going to be the one doing
the talking now.

1199
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,480
You shut your mouth.

1200
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:46,960
I listen to you for too long.

1201
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,040
I'm the one that's going to be
talking now.

1202
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,360
And some of you need to sit
that pump little.

1203
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,630
You know what I'm saying?

1204
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:01,340
Sit that little punk dog demon
down and you say.

1205
00:55:01,340 --> 00:55:02,220
You shut up.

1206
00:55:02,220 --> 00:55:05,340
The only reason why you won't
stop running your mouth is because

1207
00:55:05,340 --> 00:55:09,420
you know your time is short
and Jesus Christ is coming back and

1208
00:55:09,420 --> 00:55:11,700
you're doing everything you
can to stop me.

1209
00:55:11,700 --> 00:55:13,699
But I'm here for such a time
as this.

1210
00:55:13,699 --> 00:55:18,340
I'm an Esther, I'm a Deborah,
I'm a Nehemiah, I'm an Elijah.

1211
00:55:18,340 --> 00:55:20,980
And that same spirit is
operating through me.

1212
00:55:20,980 --> 00:55:23,140
And I know your time is up, Devil.

1213
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:26,000
When he reminds you of your
past, you start reminding me might

1214
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,320
in him of his future.

1215
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:28,760
And it's imminent.

1216
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:32,760
Come on, you feel this.

1217
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:36,120
You feel this confidence in
the Holy Ghost coming over you.

1218
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:37,760
Come on, let's.

1219
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,480
Let's be those kind of believers.

1220
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,080
I want to pray one more time.

1221
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,080
I want to pray one more time.

1222
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,920
The Lord told me, even for some.

1223
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,280
Of you on stage, because I
feel the anointing.

1224
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,640
The Lord told me this is the
year you get your mind back.

1225
00:55:53,260 --> 00:55:56,700
Hey, this is the year you get
your mind back.

1226
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:58,380
You get your mind back.

1227
00:55:58,460 --> 00:55:59,660
I don't know who that's for.

1228
00:55:59,660 --> 00:56:02,260
Behind me, I feel the anointed
being drawn.

1229
00:56:02,260 --> 00:56:03,260
I don't know who that's for.

1230
00:56:03,260 --> 00:56:04,860
Through that simulcast right now.

1231
00:56:04,940 --> 00:56:07,100
This is the year you get your
mind back.

1232
00:56:07,819 --> 00:56:09,740
You get your imagination back.

1233
00:56:10,140 --> 00:56:11,420
You get Your imagination.

1234
00:56:11,420 --> 00:56:13,340
You get your creative ability back.

1235
00:56:13,420 --> 00:56:15,020
You get your attention back.

1236
00:56:15,020 --> 00:56:15,540
You get.

1237
00:56:15,540 --> 00:56:15,860
Come on.

1238
00:56:15,860 --> 00:56:16,340
This is a.

1239
00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:18,220
This is the year you get your
mind back.

1240
00:56:21,310 --> 00:56:24,270
We have the mind of Christ.

1241
00:56:24,830 --> 00:56:27,470
I don't have the mind of my
biological father.

1242
00:56:27,470 --> 00:56:30,510
I got the mind of Jesus
Christ, my heavenly father.

1243
00:56:30,670 --> 00:56:32,150
I don't have the mind of my mother.

1244
00:56:32,150 --> 00:56:33,390
I got the mind of Christ.

1245
00:56:34,350 --> 00:56:37,390
I have the mind of Christ.

1246
00:56:38,670 --> 00:56:40,670
This is the year you get your
mind back.

1247
00:56:41,390 --> 00:56:42,990
You get your mind back.

1248
00:56:43,550 --> 00:56:45,310
You get your mind back.

1249
00:56:46,070 --> 00:56:47,030
Your mind back.

1250
00:56:47,510 --> 00:56:48,510
Your mind back.

1251
00:56:48,510 --> 00:56:49,670
You get your mind back.

1252
00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:54,510
Every perpetrator, everybody
that's illegally in my mind, every

1253
00:56:54,510 --> 00:56:58,350
demon that's crossed over the
threshold of the doorpost of my mind

1254
00:56:58,350 --> 00:57:01,670
through my eyes, I evict you
right now in the name of Jesus.

1255
00:57:01,750 --> 00:57:03,510
You got to get up out of my mind.

1256
00:57:03,590 --> 00:57:07,270
Every thought the apostle
said, I take captive every thought

1257
00:57:07,430 --> 00:57:08,990
that exalts itself up.

1258
00:57:08,990 --> 00:57:10,110
Against the word of God.

1259
00:57:10,110 --> 00:57:11,990
And I pull that straight
stronghold down.

1260
00:57:11,990 --> 00:57:12,710
Oh, come on.

1261
00:57:12,710 --> 00:57:15,110
I see some stronghold
destroyers in front.

1262
00:57:15,110 --> 00:57:15,950
Of me right now.

1263
00:57:16,030 --> 00:57:16,550
Come on.

1264
00:57:16,550 --> 00:57:19,150
I see some stronghold
destroyers up in here.

1265
00:57:19,150 --> 00:57:22,110
And somebody shout, I'm
getting my mind back.

1266
00:57:23,710 --> 00:57:25,550
Somebody said, I'm taking it back.

1267
00:57:27,069 --> 00:57:29,150
Somebody shout, I have the
mind of Christ.

1268
00:57:31,230 --> 00:57:34,990
When you drive past something,
don't ask how much it cost.

1269
00:57:37,710 --> 00:57:42,120
Some of you have a small mind,
but the mind of Christ.

1270
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,080
When you see something, oh
yeah, if I want it, and it's the

1271
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,640
Lord's will, I'll have it.

1272
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,480
Listen, I'm going to tell you
straight up.

1273
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:52,240
This is.

1274
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,840
Some of you, you think, well,
I can't afford that apartment.

1275
00:57:54,919 --> 00:57:55,960
Who told you that?

1276
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,480
What mind generated that idea?

1277
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,800
I can't afford that house.

1278
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:00,840
Who told you that?

1279
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,240
What mind did that originate from?

1280
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,680
You have the mind of Christ.

1281
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,010
When they needed to pay their
taxes, they were on mission and he

1282
00:58:08,010 --> 00:58:11,170
said, go and get out of the
coin out of the fish's mouth.

1283
00:58:11,170 --> 00:58:14,850
See, the mind of Christ will
always give you a new way, A new

1284
00:58:14,850 --> 00:58:17,570
revelation, a new strategy, a
new avenue.

1285
00:58:17,570 --> 00:58:22,050
And some of you are about to
see new pathways, new business plans,

1286
00:58:22,209 --> 00:58:25,250
new strategies, new ways of
doing things.

1287
00:58:25,250 --> 00:58:29,610
And God is going to unlock
ability to do the impossible through

1288
00:58:29,610 --> 00:58:31,890
him, you're going to get your
mind back.

1289
00:58:31,890 --> 00:58:35,230
I can have whatever my dad was
wants me to have, and I will.

1290
00:58:35,310 --> 00:58:36,270
Yeah, come on.

1291
00:58:36,270 --> 00:58:38,910
If the wicked can prosper, how
much more?

1292
00:58:38,910 --> 00:58:41,630
The righteousness, the very
seed of Abraham.

1293
00:58:41,870 --> 00:58:44,510
It makes God look good for me
to prosper.

1294
00:58:45,310 --> 00:58:47,190
Oh, that's prosperity preaching.

1295
00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:50,150
I've read the Bible, Genesis
through Revelation.

1296
00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:54,590
And I don't see God's people
not prospering.

1297
00:58:55,470 --> 00:58:58,190
Oh, yeah, Joseph went through
a poverty season.

1298
00:58:58,670 --> 00:59:01,510
But a season turns into a
cycle when you don't believe that

1299
00:59:01,510 --> 00:59:02,590
God can get you out.

1300
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:04,420
Come on.

1301
00:59:04,740 --> 00:59:06,100
It's not my destination.

1302
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:07,460
It was my preparation.

1303
00:59:08,180 --> 00:59:09,180
So I'm not going to say that.

1304
00:59:09,180 --> 00:59:10,260
We'Re all going to be rich.

1305
00:59:10,740 --> 00:59:14,900
But listen, it doesn't glorify
God for you to live less than Jesus

1306
00:59:14,900 --> 00:59:15,940
did without a child.

1307
00:59:17,380 --> 00:59:19,140
God is going to take you
through it.

1308
00:59:19,540 --> 00:59:20,980
He's building your character.

1309
00:59:20,980 --> 00:59:23,180
And I want to prophesy over
you right now because I feel the

1310
00:59:23,180 --> 00:59:24,580
spirit of prophecy right now.

1311
00:59:26,260 --> 00:59:33,070
Stop listening to orphan
Christians who have nothing, who

1312
00:59:33,070 --> 00:59:34,190
can give nothing.

1313
00:59:35,150 --> 00:59:38,430
Stop listening to orphan Christians.

1314
00:59:39,390 --> 00:59:41,790
Listen to the voice of your father.

1315
00:59:42,430 --> 00:59:44,670
Healing is yours.

1316
00:59:46,270 --> 00:59:51,110
God is not trying to bless you
to hoard, but he will make people

1317
00:59:51,110 --> 00:59:52,910
a blessing to be a blessing.

1318
00:59:53,550 --> 00:59:57,150
And you'll distribute seed in
the time of need, like Joseph.

1319
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:02,000
But if you don't break a
poverty mindset off even from misinterpreted

1320
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,920
scripture, God could never
lift you up.

1321
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,840
Because how could you
distribute seed lest you have more

1322
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,240
than you need?

1323
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,920
See, the Lord's trying to do
something in your mind.

1324
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:13,760
It's about identity.

1325
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:15,080
This is a war.

1326
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:16,960
It's always been a war over
your identity.

1327
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,840
That's why I kept saying we're
going to preach stadiums when this

1328
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,240
church was only 40 people.

1329
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,350
Because the people who wanted
to make it stay small, I was offending

1330
01:00:26,350 --> 01:00:27,310
them out the door.

1331
01:00:27,310 --> 01:00:28,670
And I'm still doing that.

1332
01:00:28,670 --> 01:00:32,430
This is why Jesus said, drink
my blood and eat my flesh, because

1333
01:00:32,430 --> 01:00:33,670
he was offending people out.

1334
01:00:33,670 --> 01:00:36,630
He said, if you're offended by
this, you never are going to survive

1335
01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:37,630
the Book of Acts.

1336
01:00:37,870 --> 01:00:40,870
And so what happens is that
God, there's some of you that in

1337
01:00:40,870 --> 01:00:41,710
your attempt to.

1338
01:00:41,710 --> 01:00:44,710
People, please, you have
actually reduced the.

1339
01:00:44,710 --> 01:00:47,910
Ability of God in your life
because you've come into agreement

1340
01:00:47,910 --> 01:00:49,310
with orphan Christians.

1341
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:51,000
Who am I talking to?

1342
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,000
Orphan Christians?

1343
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:54,440
You know what I say?

1344
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,440
God, give me whatever you want
me to have and put in me a character

1345
01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,400
to sustain it.

1346
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:04,240
Lord, bless me so that I can
be a blessing and I give more than

1347
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:05,240
I ever even keep.

1348
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,880
See, there's nothing wrong
with that.

1349
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,240
I want to pray one last prayer.

1350
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:10,920
Is that all right?

1351
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:12,080
What you gonna do?

1352
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:12,680
Stop me?

1353
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,180
Come on, what you gonna do?

1354
01:01:15,330 --> 01:01:15,570
You.

1355
01:01:15,570 --> 01:01:17,250
This is an identity thing.

1356
01:01:17,810 --> 01:01:18,490
This is.

1357
01:01:18,490 --> 01:01:19,530
I'm telling the Lord.

1358
01:01:19,530 --> 01:01:21,930
That's why Lord said, journey
with Jesus, because I don't want

1359
01:01:21,930 --> 01:01:23,730
you to become more like Mike Signorelli.

1360
01:01:23,730 --> 01:01:25,890
I want you to follow me as I'm
following him.

1361
01:01:25,890 --> 01:01:27,730
And we're all going to become
more like him.

1362
01:01:27,730 --> 01:01:31,050
And when I look at his words,
and I retrace his steps and I travel

1363
01:01:31,050 --> 01:01:31,650
Israel.

1364
01:01:31,650 --> 01:01:35,490
I'm telling you, I am
convinced that many of us have Christian

1365
01:01:35,490 --> 01:01:37,170
identities that are not like Christ.

1366
01:01:38,290 --> 01:01:40,290
But right now, we're coming
into alignment.

1367
01:01:41,180 --> 01:01:41,820
You ready?

1368
01:01:43,020 --> 01:01:45,300
So if you want to pray one
more time, because I feel the oil

1369
01:01:45,300 --> 01:01:48,900
of the Lord flowing, this is
going to be the prayer I want to

1370
01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:50,380
lead our whole church through
right now.

1371
01:01:50,380 --> 01:01:52,980
Just if you want to lift your
hands like this, or even a posture

1372
01:01:52,980 --> 01:01:55,900
of receiving however you want,
because this is a holy moment.

1373
01:01:58,540 --> 01:01:59,980
It's all about your identity.

1374
01:02:01,900 --> 01:02:04,540
When you asked for
forgiveness, he removed your past

1375
01:02:04,620 --> 01:02:06,620
as far as the east is from the West.

1376
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,040
You are forgiven and not forsaken.

1377
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,640
So right now, we're going to
pray this prayer all over this place.

1378
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:21,240
Say, heavenly Father, I
receive the fullness of what you

1379
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:22,000
have for me.

1380
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:31,760
Remove me as the barrier, my
own limitations, my own premeditations,

1381
01:02:33,450 --> 01:02:34,890
my own limiting words.

1382
01:02:36,170 --> 01:02:37,930
Remove me as the barrier.

1383
01:02:38,730 --> 01:02:43,450
And God, I give you permission
to do whatever you need to do.

1384
01:02:44,330 --> 01:02:50,210
Lord, I give you permission
for the fullness of your highest

1385
01:02:50,210 --> 01:02:53,210
calling to enter into my life.

1386
01:02:54,010 --> 01:02:56,690
And I will not reject it, and.

1387
01:02:56,690 --> 01:02:58,330
I will not stand in the way.

1388
01:02:59,260 --> 01:03:00,700
But I simply say yes.

1389
01:03:01,660 --> 01:03:03,420
I simply receive it.

1390
01:04:35,850 --> 01:04:36,210
Come on.

1391
01:04:36,210 --> 01:04:37,290
Do you see the vision?

1392
01:04:39,290 --> 01:04:41,290
Let him show you the vision of
your body.

1393
01:04:41,420 --> 01:04:42,770
Hold whole and healed.

1394
01:04:43,170 --> 01:04:43,650
Come on.

1395
01:04:43,650 --> 01:04:44,450
Do you see it?

1396
01:04:45,650 --> 01:04:46,130
Come on.

1397
01:04:46,130 --> 01:04:46,930
Do you see it?

1398
01:04:48,930 --> 01:04:49,490
Come on.

1399
01:04:51,650 --> 01:04:54,490
Do you see the vision of
you're logging into your bank account

1400
01:04:54,490 --> 01:04:58,290
and there's no anxiety and
you're actually celebrating what

1401
01:04:58,290 --> 01:04:58,850
you see?

1402
01:05:00,290 --> 01:05:00,810
Come on.

1403
01:05:00,810 --> 01:05:01,450
Do you see it?

1404
01:05:01,450 --> 01:05:03,410
You're in an atmosphere of impartation.

1405
01:05:04,690 --> 01:05:05,130
Come on.

1406
01:05:05,130 --> 01:05:07,170
Do you see your children
praying with you?

1407
01:05:09,140 --> 01:05:09,540
Come on.

1408
01:05:09,540 --> 01:05:10,340
Do you see it?

1409
01:05:12,100 --> 01:05:15,060
You're in a holy atmosphere of
impartation right now.

1410
01:05:15,140 --> 01:05:18,180
And the Lord will begin to
show you things that your natural

1411
01:05:18,340 --> 01:05:23,540
eyes cannot fathom, things
that your natural mind cannot conceive.

1412
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:25,620
And he'll show you.

1413
01:05:25,620 --> 01:05:26,500
He'll show you.

1414
01:05:36,430 --> 01:05:36,670
Yeah.

1415
01:05:36,670 --> 01:05:37,150
Come on.

1416
01:05:38,430 --> 01:05:42,590
No more anxiety, no more heart palpitations.

1417
01:05:43,470 --> 01:05:48,150
Do you see yourself pouring
the medication down the drain, never

1418
01:05:48,150 --> 01:05:49,070
needing it again?

1419
01:05:50,030 --> 01:05:52,830
Do you hear the words of the
doctor telling you that the report

1420
01:05:52,910 --> 01:05:53,870
came back different?

1421
01:05:54,670 --> 01:05:55,110
Come on.

1422
01:05:55,110 --> 01:05:57,230
You're in an atmosphere of
faith right now.

1423
01:05:57,710 --> 01:05:59,310
Faith is the evidence of things.

1424
01:05:59,310 --> 01:06:02,180
Hope for the substance of
things not seen.

1425
01:06:02,180 --> 01:06:06,580
Can you feel the keys in your
pocket for the place that God gave

1426
01:06:06,580 --> 01:06:10,660
you that you can't be kicked
out of because you own it?

1427
01:06:14,020 --> 01:06:14,460
Come on.

1428
01:06:14,460 --> 01:06:17,220
We need identity upgrades in
the kingdom.

1429
01:06:17,220 --> 01:06:19,140
We have orphans fighting orphans.

1430
01:06:19,300 --> 01:06:20,820
This church is not like that.

1431
01:06:20,820 --> 01:06:22,340
We are sons and daughters.

1432
01:06:22,660 --> 01:06:25,530
We Inherit, we build legacy ratio.

1433
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:30,600
Come on, God.

1434
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:30,960
Increase.

1435
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:32,480
Increase their faith.

1436
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,880
How many times did Jesus say, oh.

1437
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,240
Ye of little faith?

1438
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,520
He was frustrated by people
who didn't have faith.

1439
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,280
And this is why when we're journeying.

1440
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,960
With Jesus, we have to listen
to what he was saying.

1441
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,280
How many times did he say, oh,
ye of little faith?

1442
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:48,880
And see, there's going to be people.

1443
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,640
That are offended by faith.

1444
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,360
But see, God, God is pleased
with faith.

1445
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,960
It's the matter of fact, the
scriptures say, for without faith,

1446
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,200
it is impossible to please God.

1447
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,080
And so people will say, well,
Mike's a prosperity preacher.

1448
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,640
And I say, I'm really not.

1449
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:04,960
I'm just a faith.

1450
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,400
I'm a faith God.

1451
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:07,080
Oh, God.

1452
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:08,920
Mike's a word of faith heretic.

1453
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:14,120
No, I actually am pleasing God
because I believe that he can do

1454
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:14,400
it.

1455
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,400
It's not a theological debate.

1456
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,650
It is a rationale wrestling of
the heart over.

1457
01:07:18,650 --> 01:07:23,290
If God said it, I have access
to it, and I actually believe.

1458
01:07:24,650 --> 01:07:27,210
So right now, you're in an
atmosphere of faith.

1459
01:07:27,930 --> 01:07:28,730
Some of you should.

1460
01:07:28,730 --> 01:07:33,210
Even if I were you in this
atmosphere, I would literally say,

1461
01:07:33,210 --> 01:07:34,730
God, give me more faith.

1462
01:07:35,530 --> 01:07:36,810
Give me more faith.

1463
01:07:37,210 --> 01:07:38,410
Give me more faith.

1464
01:07:39,130 --> 01:07:40,410
Give me more faith.

1465
01:07:40,890 --> 01:07:42,250
Give me more faith.

1466
01:07:42,660 --> 01:07:44,020
Faith is a measure.

1467
01:07:44,260 --> 01:07:46,100
He said, if you have just a.

1468
01:07:46,260 --> 01:07:48,580
Faith of a mustard seed, you
can move a mountain.

1469
01:07:48,580 --> 01:07:51,700
And that doesn't mean that he
can do a lot with a little faith.

1470
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:54,140
What he was actually saying
is, you don't even have a little

1471
01:07:54,140 --> 01:07:54,820
bit of faith.

1472
01:07:54,820 --> 01:07:56,420
That's actually what Jesus was saying.

1473
01:07:56,420 --> 01:07:57,940
He's saying, you don't have any.

1474
01:07:58,340 --> 01:08:00,140
So some of you, you need to.

1475
01:08:00,140 --> 01:08:02,940
Say, God, give me a faith as a
mustard seed.

1476
01:08:02,940 --> 01:08:05,580
Just give me a little faith,
because I have no faith.

1477
01:08:05,580 --> 01:08:07,540
And God will give you faith.

1478
01:08:07,780 --> 01:08:08,040
But.

1479
01:08:08,110 --> 01:08:12,470
But then he says, you speak to
the mountain and you tell the mountain

1480
01:08:12,470 --> 01:08:12,990
to move.

1481
01:08:14,030 --> 01:08:16,030
He doesn't move the mountain
for you.

1482
01:08:16,110 --> 01:08:17,710
He doesn't say it for you.

1483
01:08:17,710 --> 01:08:19,550
He tells you to say it.

1484
01:08:21,150 --> 01:08:22,750
Come on, let's take a few more moments.

1485
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:24,350
This is special for this service.

1486
01:08:27,790 --> 01:08:32,990
You know, my daughters are 19
years old and 11.

1487
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,640
So that means that this church
has existed for Everly, almost Everly's

1488
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:42,080
entire life and half of
Bella's life, like her developmental

1489
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:42,360
years.

1490
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,640
And because we were launching
so many campuses, I didn't realize

1491
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,600
that I'm always looking for buildings.

1492
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,200
I'm always looking for things
to get to rent for God's people.

1493
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:56,000
Well, what that did in my
daughters is in their young ages,

1494
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,920
we're driving past something,
and it has a thing for sale.

1495
01:08:59,170 --> 01:09:02,850
Oh, Daddy, can we have that
then this other thing's for sale.

1496
01:09:02,850 --> 01:09:04,690
Daddy, what about this for V1?

1497
01:09:04,930 --> 01:09:05,930
Daddy, what about that?

1498
01:09:05,930 --> 01:09:11,090
And one day I was in prayer,
and the Lord said, you see that the

1499
01:09:11,090 --> 01:09:14,570
father that you've been for
your daughters has actually made

1500
01:09:14,570 --> 01:09:19,050
them believe that they have
access to anything with a sign on

1501
01:09:19,050 --> 01:09:19,330
it.

1502
01:09:19,650 --> 01:09:20,250
See, I.

1503
01:09:20,250 --> 01:09:23,490
And you gotta understand, we
didn't have nowhere to live.

1504
01:09:23,810 --> 01:09:24,980
We were home homeless.

1505
01:09:24,980 --> 01:09:26,700
We moved eight times in one year.

1506
01:09:26,780 --> 01:09:27,660
You remember that?

1507
01:09:27,900 --> 01:09:29,500
Eight times in one year, Mom.

1508
01:09:29,740 --> 01:09:30,060
And.

1509
01:09:30,060 --> 01:09:33,460
And because I had that orphan
tendency, the Lord had to grow me

1510
01:09:33,460 --> 01:09:37,820
to the point where I believed
that I could have access and see

1511
01:09:37,980 --> 01:09:38,300
that.

1512
01:09:38,300 --> 01:09:39,340
The thing that I believe.

1513
01:09:39,340 --> 01:09:40,939
The Lord's taking on a journey of.

1514
01:09:40,939 --> 01:09:43,140
Healing some things in your
life to say.

1515
01:09:43,140 --> 01:09:47,180
At what point in your
brokenness did.

1516
01:09:47,180 --> 01:09:50,220
You start imposing on God what
he couldn't do?

1517
01:09:51,650 --> 01:09:55,010
And I think, like Bella and
Everly, that needs to be a lesson

1518
01:09:55,010 --> 01:09:58,970
to all of us, to start looking
around and saying, you know what,

1519
01:09:58,970 --> 01:10:00,370
God, can I have that?

1520
01:10:00,450 --> 01:10:01,410
Can I have that?

1521
01:10:01,570 --> 01:10:02,450
Can I have that?

1522
01:10:02,450 --> 01:10:03,170
Can I have that?

1523
01:10:03,170 --> 01:10:05,210
Because you know what a good
father can say?

1524
01:10:05,210 --> 01:10:05,570
No.

1525
01:10:05,810 --> 01:10:08,130
But a good kid has to learn
how to ask.

1526
01:10:09,730 --> 01:10:12,770
And I would rather be the
loudest kid saying, I'm not even

1527
01:10:12,770 --> 01:10:13,890
asking for myself.

1528
01:10:13,890 --> 01:10:16,450
I'm asking for all your other
children on Long Island.

1529
01:10:16,450 --> 01:10:17,410
Can we have a building?

1530
01:10:17,570 --> 01:10:18,450
And guess what?

1531
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:22,130
If Daddy said yes and we got
the building, what's he going to

1532
01:10:22,130 --> 01:10:23,210
say yes to next?

1533
01:10:23,210 --> 01:10:27,010
I asked him for Times Square
on Easter, and Daddy said yes, you

1534
01:10:27,010 --> 01:10:30,130
can go into Times Square
because I own Times Square.

1535
01:10:30,130 --> 01:10:32,010
The devil doesn't own Times Square.

1536
01:10:32,010 --> 01:10:33,090
I asked for it.

1537
01:10:33,090 --> 01:10:37,090
Yeah, you can go into Chicago
in a stadium because Daddy said I

1538
01:10:37,090 --> 01:10:38,370
can go into the stadium.

1539
01:10:38,370 --> 01:10:39,450
I asked for it.

1540
01:10:39,450 --> 01:10:40,490
You have not.

1541
01:10:40,810 --> 01:10:42,490
Because you ask not.

1542
01:10:42,650 --> 01:10:45,210
I'm asking God, give it to me.

1543
01:10:47,730 --> 01:10:49,170
How many of you are feeling this?

1544
01:10:49,810 --> 01:10:51,490
I'm about to walk into my house.

1545
01:10:51,650 --> 01:10:55,050
I'm asking, I'm asking, I'm
asking, I'm asking in my.

1546
01:10:55,050 --> 01:10:56,170
I'm asking, I'm asking.

1547
01:10:56,170 --> 01:10:57,810
How many of you gonna get a
holy ask?

1548
01:11:00,130 --> 01:11:01,929
I put that ask on it.

1549
01:11:01,929 --> 01:11:02,530
I had to.

1550
01:11:09,890 --> 01:11:10,530
Come on.

1551
01:11:11,010 --> 01:11:12,780
And I'm just telling you, I'm asking.

1552
01:11:14,290 --> 01:11:17,130
This Easter Sunday, when I get
up in front of New York City in the

1553
01:11:17,130 --> 01:11:22,450
world and I announce what V1
church is doing next, why not?

1554
01:11:23,250 --> 01:11:24,210
Why can't we?

1555
01:11:24,690 --> 01:11:25,450
Why can't we?

1556
01:11:25,450 --> 01:11:26,490
Who said I couldn't do it?

1557
01:11:26,490 --> 01:11:27,090
The devil.

1558
01:11:27,890 --> 01:11:29,650
You're still listening to that punk?

1559
01:11:30,370 --> 01:11:31,650
That little Chihuahua.

1560
01:11:33,570 --> 01:11:42,060
Okay, Father, Many words were sown.

1561
01:11:42,940 --> 01:11:47,100
And you said in the parable of
the kingdom that the kingdom is like

1562
01:11:47,580 --> 01:11:49,660
the man that went out and
sowed seeds.

1563
01:11:50,060 --> 01:11:52,700
And while he was sleeping, his
enemy came.

1564
01:11:52,940 --> 01:11:54,860
And his enemy sowed weeds.

1565
01:11:56,060 --> 01:11:57,420
And they came up together.

1566
01:11:58,220 --> 01:12:02,940
Lord, we pray that you
separate the weeds from the wheat.

1567
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:07,030
It's not our job to determine
who's a Christian and who's not a

1568
01:12:07,030 --> 01:12:07,550
Christian.

1569
01:12:07,790 --> 01:12:10,670
It's not our job to determine
who's false and who's true.

1570
01:12:11,070 --> 01:12:12,830
Let the weeds grow with the wheat.

1571
01:12:13,550 --> 01:12:17,710
And you said in the parable
that you will send laborers to collect

1572
01:12:17,710 --> 01:12:20,630
all the wheat, but then
collect all the weeds and throw them

1573
01:12:20,630 --> 01:12:21,150
in the fire.

1574
01:12:21,630 --> 01:12:23,550
So you're the one who does discernment.

1575
01:12:23,550 --> 01:12:25,230
You're the one who does separation.

1576
01:12:25,230 --> 01:12:26,270
And God, I thank you.

1577
01:12:26,270 --> 01:12:30,110
As for us, we're going to stay
in the truth.

1578
01:12:31,910 --> 01:12:34,270
If you want to pray over your
mind, let's pray over your mind.

1579
01:12:34,270 --> 01:12:38,790
Father, I pray for our mind
that the enemy would not sow any

1580
01:12:38,790 --> 01:12:42,430
weeds amongst the wheat, not
sow anything that shouldn't be in

1581
01:12:42,430 --> 01:12:42,870
our mind.

1582
01:12:43,350 --> 01:12:45,350
And give us grace through this week.

1583
01:12:45,830 --> 01:12:49,310
Give us grace in Jesus, mighty name.

1584
01:12:49,310 --> 01:12:51,270
We pray one last time.

1585
01:12:51,270 --> 01:12:52,550
Can everybody say Amen?

1586
01:12:53,190 --> 01:12:55,190
Help me welcome our campus pastors.

1587
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:56,160
It.
