1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,560
Foreign.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,080
So this leads me to the sermon.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,640
Your brain is wired to stop
you before God sends you.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:15,320
In.

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,400
Aviation V1 is the critical
moment in takeoff where the pilot

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,680
is fully committed.

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Now, here's the thing.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,360
If the engine fails, if
there's turbulence, if a warning

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,640
light flashes, you still go.

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,220
Because you have so much speed
down that Runway that that thrust

11
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:37,820
and lift, the greater force of
nature takes over and you begin to

12
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:38,300
fly.

13
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,060
You cannot abort takeoff once
you've gone v1.

14
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:46,740
The problem is, most of us in
our life have never fully gone V1

15
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:47,100
yet.

16
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:49,540
And so last week I gave three Bs.

17
00:00:49,540 --> 00:00:52,980
And my expectation is that our
entire church understands this.

18
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:57,980
In order to go V1 number one,
you have to battle like Caleb.

19
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:01,660
Caleb said the promised land
is filled with giants.

20
00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:05,640
I don't expect God to give me
the promise without giving me problems.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,560
Because the problems are how
he does something in me.

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,480
The problems are my teachers.

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,040
Your teachers are not your
curriculum in college.

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,120
Your teachers are pain and suffering.

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,320
And some people pass the
written test, but not the living

26
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:19,720
test.

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,360
Come on.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,760
And so you battle like Caleb.

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,640
I didn't expect anybody to
give me Long Island.

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440
The kingdom of heaven suffers
violence and the violent take Long

31
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,440
island by force.

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Come on.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,320
I don't care if it is a soccer stadium.

34
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:34,600
It's gonna be a church.

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,560
Because I said.

36
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:37,860
And I can battle like Caleb.

37
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:40,780
If you're sitting in that
Brooklyn location right now, you're

38
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:44,100
sitting in that location
because I showed up and I said, I'm

39
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:46,060
not expecting anybody to give
me Brooklyn.

40
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:47,180
I'm taking Brooklyn.

41
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:50,620
And me and Heather Wrigley, we
prayer walk that joint.

42
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:53,660
And we got that venue
supernaturally that you're sitting

43
00:01:53,660 --> 00:01:54,260
in right now.

44
00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:55,860
So somebody shall battle.

45
00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:57,380
Come on.

46
00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:57,940
Oh.

47
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:04,090
To my single people in this
whole section right now, God is gonna

48
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:05,210
give you a spouse.

49
00:02:05,450 --> 00:02:08,370
But when you reach the
promised land called marriage, there

50
00:02:08,370 --> 00:02:10,010
is going to be giants in there.

51
00:02:11,370 --> 00:02:15,690
Giants called past
woundedness, past rejection, fear

52
00:02:15,690 --> 00:02:16,490
of failure.

53
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:17,209
Come on.

54
00:02:17,209 --> 00:02:18,330
Low self esteem.

55
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,530
Just because you get married
doesn't mean that you step into perfection.

56
00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:22,090
Hello.

57
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:26,650
And so you gotta learn how to
battle for your marriage.

58
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:27,130
Right?

59
00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:28,890
I fought everybody.

60
00:02:29,050 --> 00:02:30,370
Oh, it must be nice.

61
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:31,490
Yeah, work harder.

62
00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:32,570
You can have it, too.

63
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:35,830
Must be nice to have a
marriage like Mike and Julie's.

64
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:37,750
Well, do you want my
counseling, Bill?

65
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:39,270
Just like you want my marriage.

66
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:39,950
Come on.

67
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:41,470
Do you want my date night, Bill?

68
00:02:41,470 --> 00:02:43,110
Just like you want my marriage.

69
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:43,630
Come on.

70
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:44,710
Yeah, it must be nice.

71
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:46,630
It's nice if you'll fight for it.

72
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:49,230
Okay, y' all with me.

73
00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:50,470
Somebody shout battle.

74
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:52,190
Okay, this is A good.

75
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:53,350
This is a good series.

76
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:54,350
This is helping people.

77
00:02:54,350 --> 00:02:56,990
10,000 plus people logging in
for this.

78
00:02:56,990 --> 00:03:00,710
Come on, somebody shout, log
in number two.

79
00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:03,070
So you go from battle, you
gotta break.

80
00:03:03,070 --> 00:03:04,230
You gotta learn how to break.

81
00:03:04,230 --> 00:03:05,390
You gotta learn how to break.

82
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:06,390
You gotta learn how to break.

83
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:07,670
What do I'm talking about?

84
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:15,110
Most people, they spritz, they
fragrance, they essence, but they

85
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:15,750
never break.

86
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:18,670
I don't know about V1.

87
00:03:18,670 --> 00:03:20,110
I'm gonna hold it in reserve.

88
00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:22,790
I've even got staff members
who act like that sometimes.

89
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:24,110
I don't know if this is for me.

90
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:26,630
I don't know if this is a
forever thing or it's a now thing.

91
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:27,150
No, no, no.

92
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:29,590
V1 is a covenant church, not a commitment.

93
00:03:29,590 --> 00:03:31,930
Ch going to work out if you're coming.

94
00:03:31,930 --> 00:03:34,130
Trying me out like a local restaurant.

95
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:35,170
It ain't like that.

96
00:03:35,170 --> 00:03:35,730
It's not.

97
00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:36,890
Choose your flavor.

98
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:40,010
If you don't like the flavor,
come back into the kitchen and help

99
00:03:40,010 --> 00:03:40,610
me work.

100
00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:44,130
If you don't like the church,
join the team and make it better.

101
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:45,770
This is a covenant thing.

102
00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:46,330
Come on.

103
00:03:46,330 --> 00:03:47,130
And so when people.

104
00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:48,290
I don't know what I think about.

105
00:03:48,290 --> 00:03:51,130
I don't know what heaven
thinks about you, because you've

106
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:52,930
never battled, you're never broken.

107
00:03:53,010 --> 00:03:53,530
Come on.

108
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:55,410
And I don't know what I think
about Mike.

109
00:03:55,410 --> 00:03:57,890
I don't know what heaven
thinks about you, but I know what

110
00:03:57,890 --> 00:03:59,170
hell thinks about me.

111
00:03:59,330 --> 00:04:02,950
And I'm looking for some
people that will break with me, some

112
00:04:02,950 --> 00:04:05,150
people that'll just take a
break with me.

113
00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:09,830
Anybody will go on a vacation
with you, but who will go into battle

114
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:10,350
with you?

115
00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:14,350
The US Military doesn't
advance because we got a whole bunch

116
00:04:14,350 --> 00:04:15,390
of fair weather people.

117
00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:17,950
Well, I'm here for the GI Bill
to go to college.

118
00:04:17,950 --> 00:04:21,270
Well, you can die trying to
get that college money doing it for

119
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:21,870
that reason.

120
00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:24,830
And why are you treating the
local church the same way?

121
00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:27,310
I'm here to receive, but I'm
not here to give.

122
00:04:27,470 --> 00:04:28,430
That's dangerous.

123
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:34,150
The kingdom of heaven has only
been advanced by those who covenant.

124
00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:37,270
And the apex of commitment is covenant.

125
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:38,550
Somebody say break.

126
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:41,750
The alabaster box was not one woman.

127
00:04:41,750 --> 00:04:43,270
It's supposed to be every woman.

128
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:43,910
After the.

129
00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:47,790
After the cross, the alabaster
box was not just one person.

130
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:49,190
It's supposed to be all of us.

131
00:04:49,190 --> 00:04:52,110
After the cross, when they
stuck Jesus with that.

132
00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:55,990
With that spear and water
began to pour out of his side, what

133
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:58,870
was actually happening was
he's saying, I've poured my life

134
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:59,110
out.

135
00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:00,930
Now will you pour yours out too?

136
00:05:01,730 --> 00:05:02,690
Are you with me?

137
00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:07,210
So this church on Long Island,
I don't know if I feel like I want

138
00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:08,050
to go this Sunday.

139
00:05:08,290 --> 00:05:10,570
What if Jesus said, I don't
know if I feel like going to the

140
00:05:10,570 --> 00:05:11,170
cross today?

141
00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:13,970
It's not about church attendance.

142
00:05:13,970 --> 00:05:17,330
It's about the representation
of covenant and what this church,

143
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:18,610
this church is extreme.

144
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:20,650
We are, we are not a cruise liner.

145
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:21,650
We're a warship.

146
00:05:21,650 --> 00:05:22,050
Right.

147
00:05:22,130 --> 00:05:25,010
And that's the thing is if you
want a cruise liner, you go sign

148
00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:26,290
up for the Mickey Mouse program.

149
00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:29,650
I tried to sign my own wife up
for the Mickey Mouse program.

150
00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:31,810
I tried to get on the Disney cruise.

151
00:05:31,810 --> 00:05:35,430
Y' all heard the story last
week, but my wife said no, we're

152
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:38,630
a warship and we're going
throughout the earth and we're doing

153
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,110
what God called us to do.

154
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:42,590
And so it's not about, I don't
feel like attending.

155
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:46,470
I'd rather you to show up to
church unshowered, dirty, wrinkled

156
00:05:46,470 --> 00:05:47,030
shirt.

157
00:05:47,030 --> 00:05:51,870
But you're here because every
class has a role, every army has

158
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:54,910
an enlistment, every team has
a roster.

159
00:05:54,990 --> 00:05:59,350
And so show up to church every
week and say, God, you can count

160
00:05:59,350 --> 00:05:59,950
on me.

161
00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:01,710
I'm praying with my church.

162
00:06:01,710 --> 00:06:02,910
I'm giving with my.

163
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:04,810
This ain't popular prayer preaching.

164
00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:08,290
Because everybody wants to be
committed, but only very few want

165
00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:09,330
to be covenanted.

166
00:06:09,330 --> 00:06:12,250
But the way we're going to
change Long island is covenanting

167
00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:12,970
to each other.

168
00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:14,650
We're going to change Brooklyn.

169
00:06:14,650 --> 00:06:18,210
Not because Brooklyn was a
temporary thing or I felt like a

170
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:20,810
thing, because Brooklyn is the
only plan.

171
00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:22,170
It's plan A.

172
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:24,730
There is no plan B for Manhattan.

173
00:06:24,730 --> 00:06:26,090
There is no plan B.

174
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:27,930
How many of you want a covenant?

175
00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:30,090
Battle.

176
00:06:35,230 --> 00:06:35,710
Battle.

177
00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:38,510
Break my life open.

178
00:06:38,670 --> 00:06:39,150
God.

179
00:06:40,270 --> 00:06:42,190
Last but not least, burn.

180
00:06:44,190 --> 00:06:44,750
Burn.

181
00:06:45,870 --> 00:06:46,430
Burn.

182
00:06:47,470 --> 00:06:48,030
Burn.

183
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:50,350
Burn God.

184
00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:51,390
Burn me up.

185
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:53,790
Burn up my selfish desires.

186
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:56,830
Burn up my man made strategy.

187
00:06:58,620 --> 00:06:59,180
This is why.

188
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:02,300
This is why prophets are more
popular than pastors.

189
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:06,420
Because people always want a
word from God, but they don't want

190
00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:07,340
to work for God.

191
00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:11,620
See, burn me up, God, I want
to work for you.

192
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:12,300
I want to do.

193
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:12,979
What does that mean?

194
00:07:12,979 --> 00:07:15,580
If you're a nurse, go into the
hospital, work for God.

195
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:18,460
If you're a student, go into
the school, work for God.

196
00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:21,500
It says the harvest is vast,
but the laborers are few.

197
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:24,300
It means that those who are
willing to work are few.

198
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:26,220
There's a lot of people
willing to talk.

199
00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:28,930
There's a lot of people
willing to come on somebody.

200
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,560
A lot of people willing to watch.

201
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
But there's very few willing
to work.

202
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,560
And I'll tell you something
changes in your life when you say

203
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,960
God.

204
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,800
If you can use anything, you
can use me.

205
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Take My hands, Lord, and my
feet touch my heart.

206
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,920
Y' all don't even know this song.

207
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,240
That's what's wrong with you.

208
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Do you not know this song?

209
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Oh, we need to bring it back, Julie.

210
00:07:56,690 --> 00:07:58,930
When I was growing up, we used
to sing this song.

211
00:07:58,930 --> 00:08:03,010
If you can use anything, Lord,
you can use me.

212
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:07,410
And you know, the millennial
said I was used by the local church.

213
00:08:08,370 --> 00:08:11,050
That's the whole point, Lord.

214
00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:12,930
If you can use anything, use me.

215
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:16,210
Somebody say, I'm willing to burn.

216
00:08:17,970 --> 00:08:18,610
Come on.

217
00:08:18,610 --> 00:08:21,130
And by the way, this is not
the advanced class.

218
00:08:21,130 --> 00:08:22,130
This is the basics.

219
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:24,850
Well, I'm telling you, go v1.

220
00:08:25,090 --> 00:08:28,810
And what happened at a certain
point in my journey was I launched

221
00:08:28,810 --> 00:08:29,410
this church.

222
00:08:29,570 --> 00:08:32,610
And I remember telling God,
God, I cashed everything out.

223
00:08:32,610 --> 00:08:35,410
My retirement, my savings,
sold my house.

224
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:37,890
Look, Lord, look what I've
burned for you.

225
00:08:38,209 --> 00:08:39,570
And you know what God told me?

226
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:43,330
Congratulations, Mike, you've
now just become a normal Christian.

227
00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:46,690
So here's the thing.

228
00:08:46,690 --> 00:08:50,930
Oftentimes when God is asking
something of us, we go before God

229
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:52,210
like, it's such a big deal.

230
00:08:52,450 --> 00:08:56,710
But the reality is, the things
he's asking for us to give, we don't

231
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:57,230
have them.

232
00:08:57,230 --> 00:08:58,110
They have us.

233
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:03,390
So God is trying to get us
free by burning some things in our

234
00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:03,590
life.

235
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:06,310
Anybody want freedom on the
next level?

236
00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:07,630
Burn, burn, burn.

237
00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:11,910
So that leads us to the last
and final section of the sermon,

238
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:13,550
because I had to do a lot of review.

239
00:09:13,950 --> 00:09:15,910
But your brain is a.

240
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:18,590
Is wired to avoid everything I
told you.

241
00:09:18,670 --> 00:09:22,430
So what's happening is your
spirit is saying yes to everything

242
00:09:22,430 --> 00:09:23,950
I preached, but your.

243
00:09:23,950 --> 00:09:27,450
Your actual body, your, even
your biological brain is saying,

244
00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:28,250
no, no, no.

245
00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:29,690
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

246
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:32,490
For the spirit is willing, but
the flesh is.

247
00:09:33,610 --> 00:09:38,490
So modern psychology actually
shows us that your mind, it'll generate

248
00:09:38,490 --> 00:09:43,370
hesitation within five seconds
of a decision that feels risky or

249
00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:44,250
uncertain.

250
00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:49,930
When I was in the service of a
man with a multisite massive church

251
00:09:49,930 --> 00:09:53,890
in America, and he was raising
money to buy cameras to actually

252
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:57,450
put his sermons in the Middle
east to Muslim nations, the Holy

253
00:09:57,450 --> 00:09:59,750
Spirit to me and said, Give $5,000.

254
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:01,350
Sow it into this man.

255
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:05,510
And again, as soon as the Holy
Spirit spoke that because the things

256
00:10:05,510 --> 00:10:09,750
of the spirit are quantum,
they are faster than your mind can

257
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:10,310
compute.

258
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:11,270
And so you're.

259
00:10:11,270 --> 00:10:15,590
You have to train your mind to
actually submit to the spirit, because

260
00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:19,230
the things of the spirit
operate significantly faster than

261
00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:20,110
the things of the.

262
00:10:20,110 --> 00:10:21,590
Of the natural mind.

263
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:23,270
Do you all understand what I'm saying?

264
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:27,750
So on a quantum level, I
receive give $5,000, and so it into

265
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:32,630
his ministry But I begin to
hesitate because my brain, and it's

266
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:34,750
doing what we learn in modern psychology.

267
00:10:34,990 --> 00:10:39,470
So I get out my phone, I scan
the QR code, and I put in 5,00, because

268
00:10:39,470 --> 00:10:41,310
$500 is still a lot of money.

269
00:10:42,510 --> 00:10:43,950
But that's not what God said.

270
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:45,070
And.

271
00:10:45,070 --> 00:10:48,390
But here's what I think makes
me different than most people you've

272
00:10:48,390 --> 00:10:51,870
met, and this is what I'm
trying to impart to you as your pastor,

273
00:10:52,430 --> 00:10:56,880
is that I will hesitate, but
then I will push through the hesitation.

274
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,400
And I'm learning that I feel
many of the same feelings as other

275
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:01,760
people.

276
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,360
But I've trained myself in the
things of the spirit to do something

277
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,560
different than what I feel.

278
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:08,560
Are y' all with me?

279
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,400
So I put the extra zero on,
and Julie elbows me, and she goes,

280
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:12,800
mike.

281
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,320
She goes, mike, the Holy
Spirit told me to give $5,000 as

282
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,560
well.

283
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,280
And I watched you wrestle with it.

284
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,320
Yes, let's give it.

285
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,440
So I gave that money.

286
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,200
On a side note to this story,
you will always have an audience

287
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,460
for your obed, and you will
always have an audience for your

288
00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:29,260
disobedience.

289
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:33,660
My wife was watching, and so I
gave that money.

290
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:34,780
That was in 2019.

291
00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:36,620
What happened in 2020?

292
00:11:36,860 --> 00:11:40,500
It was through cameras that I
began to reach the nations, because

293
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:42,860
you sow into what you want to
grow into.

294
00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:47,420
And now we've got 10,000
people watching our livestream.

295
00:11:47,660 --> 00:11:51,780
And in 2019, we had only 50
people watching our livestream.

296
00:11:51,780 --> 00:11:55,100
But I believe there was
something connected to me battling

297
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:57,380
something connected to me
doing what?

298
00:11:57,380 --> 00:11:57,740
Break.

299
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,400
That was my alabaster box.

300
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,360
And then burning and saying,
you know what, God?

301
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,200
I'm gonna burn.

302
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:02,560
Okay.

303
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:07,240
Oh, please, please, please
lean in for this.

304
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,880
Cause this is like, I'm gonna
teach it deeper, but this is gonna

305
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,360
help you.

306
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,480
I.

307
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,200
You.

308
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,920
Okay?

309
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,360
Real sacrifice, real burning
requires you creating a scenario

310
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,360
that you cannot undo.

311
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,360
If you can undo it, it's not
real sacrifice.

312
00:12:27,460 --> 00:12:31,220
When I look at the scriptures,
okay, I see this over and over again.

313
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:35,900
If you approach marriage,
like, I am going to take these vows,

314
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:38,740
but I can undo these if I need
to undo these.

315
00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:42,260
If you treat it like you can
undo it, you will undo it.

316
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:47,380
Because it's a covenant, not
just words.

317
00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:51,420
If you show up to a church and
you're testing it and trying it out,

318
00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:55,060
and you leave an escape hatch,
you will end up leaving that church

319
00:12:55,060 --> 00:12:57,820
because you will cause what's
called bias to occur.

320
00:12:57,820 --> 00:13:00,800
And you will look through
everything through the lens of negativity

321
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,520
to justify why you go out
through that trap door.

322
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,800
If you leave a trap door for marriage.

323
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,800
Then you will look at your wife.

324
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,720
You will look at your husband
through the lens of everything they're

325
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,880
doing wrong to justify that
trap door behind you.

326
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,120
How many of you know what I'm
talking about?

327
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,440
Because it's real quiet here.

328
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,960
I don't know if it's because
you're listening or you want me to

329
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,240
open the altar now to repent, but.

330
00:13:24,530 --> 00:13:27,850
But I'm trying to teach you
this because, oh, Lord, help me.

331
00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:28,450
Help me.

332
00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:32,770
Our generation doesn't even
believe most of what I've said for

333
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:33,810
the last 20 minutes.

334
00:13:34,770 --> 00:13:36,850
Our generation doesn't even
believe it.

335
00:13:37,090 --> 00:13:39,170
Half of all marriages end in divorce.

336
00:13:39,330 --> 00:13:42,490
I'm the product of multiple
divorces, and I see that now.

337
00:13:42,490 --> 00:13:44,090
I want to say on a little asterisk.

338
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:48,970
Side note, even Jesus gave
justifiable reasons for divorce a

339
00:13:48,970 --> 00:13:49,770
reason for divorce.

340
00:13:49,770 --> 00:13:50,610
Not all marriages.

341
00:13:50,770 --> 00:13:54,060
You know, it takes two people,
and that's the point of covenant.

342
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:56,740
And sometimes one person
covenant, the other one's a covenant

343
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:57,300
breaker.

344
00:13:57,380 --> 00:13:57,780
Right?

345
00:13:58,340 --> 00:14:00,860
So I don't feel attacked right
now, but.

346
00:14:00,860 --> 00:14:03,860
But to these ears, many of us
need to hear this.

347
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:04,660
There.

348
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:10,300
Okay, Harvey, right now in
Miami is in a building, and there

349
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,740
was a Baptist church in that
building that had 600 people every

350
00:14:13,740 --> 00:14:14,100
Sunday.

351
00:14:14,740 --> 00:14:18,820
Because what used to happen in
America was people went to church

352
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:20,180
because they were Christians.

353
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:25,690
And already within 100 years,
we watched all of the atheism and

354
00:14:25,690 --> 00:14:26,810
the deconstructing.

355
00:14:26,970 --> 00:14:31,930
It diminished people's a sense
of community and belonging.

356
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:36,170
And right now, a lot of these
messages I'm preaching, they are

357
00:14:36,170 --> 00:14:39,210
some of the most important
things that can be said in our generation.

358
00:14:39,370 --> 00:14:42,450
Because if you go back in
time, there was a time where if you

359
00:14:42,450 --> 00:14:44,290
were Catholic, you went to
Catholic church.

360
00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:46,570
If you were Methodist, you
went to Methodist church.

361
00:14:46,570 --> 00:14:47,690
And right now, there.

362
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:48,410
And see.

363
00:14:49,210 --> 00:14:55,100
Can I just go there for years now.

364
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,420
Mike, why do you talk about
Islam so much?

365
00:14:58,060 --> 00:14:59,180
Well, I'll tell you why.

366
00:14:59,340 --> 00:15:03,180
Because when their birth rate
is significantly higher than ours,

367
00:15:03,660 --> 00:15:08,180
when they actually go to the
mosque, when they go to pray, when

368
00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:11,740
they're filling the streets,
when they're electing officials in

369
00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:12,060
government.

370
00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:15,220
See, as a church, we're
supposed to go into each sphere of

371
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:15,820
influence.

372
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,380
They are going into every
sphere of influence.

373
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:21,740
And what's happening is a lot
of these sermons now, they're going

374
00:15:21,740 --> 00:15:22,130
over your.

375
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,440
And then 40 years from now,
you're gonna see all these viral

376
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,880
clips, and you're gonna be
like, I was in the room when Mike

377
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,000
said that, but I didn't see
what he was seeing in the future.

378
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,680
So it's like when I Tell a
group full of Christians you should

379
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,040
come to church every week.

380
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,320
It sounds like I'm saying that
because I just wanna grow my church

381
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:39,960
attendance.

382
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,440
But let me remind you that I
did not show up on Long island to

383
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,400
build a big church.

384
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,640
And for most of you that were
here, like Angela and Nick, our church

385
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,160
was less than 100 for a third
of the entire existence of our church.

386
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,280
But what I am saying is, as
you look at the other religions,

387
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,960
as you look at the other
traditions, as you look at the things

388
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,960
that are in the earth, it's
not just Islam.

389
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,360
There's a rising of all these sides.

390
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,640
And I believe that as
Christians, we need to actually rise

391
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,000
up and be Christians.

392
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,080
Does that make sense?

393
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,480
Even like the Daily Growth
Journal, it's because it was understood

394
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,330
that if you're a Christian,
you read your Bible, but then Bible

395
00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:20,450
reading, you know.

396
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:24,010
And now we have a resurgence
because the Lord is beginning to

397
00:16:24,010 --> 00:16:26,570
give people a desire by the
Holy Spirit.

398
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:27,850
But we need tools.

399
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:32,730
So these spiritual disciplines
and going to church and serving and

400
00:16:32,730 --> 00:16:36,730
sitting, these were all very
normal things even 100 years ago.

401
00:16:36,810 --> 00:16:40,290
But what happens is the enemy
comes and deceives, but then what

402
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:44,170
happens is other religions and
other traditions, they believe it.

403
00:16:44,330 --> 00:16:45,950
I told this story before, but.

404
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:48,580
But I have a friend that is a Jew.

405
00:16:49,140 --> 00:16:52,500
And you know, he was telling
me about at the local synagogue,

406
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:56,220
of course, Jews all give their
tithe, but he said, we pay extra

407
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:58,020
money because we want eternal rewards.

408
00:16:58,020 --> 00:17:00,740
And they even buy their own
seats at many synagogues.

409
00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:01,780
Do you guys know about this?

410
00:17:02,019 --> 00:17:05,420
And then you know how, like,
we have volunteers that serve in

411
00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:07,060
production and various
different things?

412
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:09,380
Well, they actually pay.

413
00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:13,920
In many synagogues here in New
York City, they pay extra money for

414
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,680
the privilege to be able to
serve and to do the various different

415
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,160
things in their local temple.

416
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,480
And because they believe so
much in eternal rewards that they

417
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,840
are willing to pay their local
synagogue to let them serve so they

418
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,360
can get more rewards.

419
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080
And when I was talking to my
friend about that, he goes, I think

420
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,080
it's so funny how Christians
argue over giving 10% when we go

421
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,040
well beyond that.

422
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,320
And I also think it's our.

423
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:41,580
It's funny how Christians
argue when you.

424
00:17:41,580 --> 00:17:43,500
When the pastor says, I want
you to serve.

425
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,660
Because we fight each other
over who gets to serve and we pay

426
00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:48,540
money to serve.

427
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:49,660
So let's go ahead.

428
00:17:49,660 --> 00:17:50,380
We're gonna start.

429
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:51,660
Start that right now.

430
00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:52,620
No, I'm just kidding.

431
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:55,100
Everyone panic.

432
00:17:56,620 --> 00:17:57,020
But.

433
00:17:57,020 --> 00:18:00,940
But do you see, though, it's
not just against Islam, even within

434
00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:05,380
Judaism, people who believe in
the spiritual realm, people who Believe

435
00:18:05,380 --> 00:18:06,380
in the eternal.

436
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:09,260
They live their life in
response to it.

437
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:12,840
And they live their life in a
way look peculiar to other people,

438
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
but to them makes total sense.

439
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,360
Are y' all with me today?

440
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,880
And so, like, I just want to
normalize for you that going to church

441
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,160
every week is not weird,
because in Judaism, having Shabbat

442
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,600
every week is not weird.

443
00:18:27,159 --> 00:18:30,280
Praying every day is not
weird, because if you were a Muslim,

444
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,200
you would pray multiple times
a day.

445
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:32,840
Right?

446
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,560
It's just.

447
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,840
But I think what's happening
is, is our church.

448
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,210
Churches have become so
divided and hyper individualistic

449
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:43,730
that I now have to preach
sermons and say, we have to battle

450
00:18:43,730 --> 00:18:47,330
together, we have to break
together, and we have to burn together.

451
00:18:47,570 --> 00:18:52,050
But look, there's a demonic
form of what I just said, because

452
00:18:52,770 --> 00:18:56,050
a jihad is we're going to
battle together, we're going to break

453
00:18:56,050 --> 00:18:57,410
together, we're going to burn together.

454
00:18:58,210 --> 00:18:59,250
That's jihad.

455
00:18:59,890 --> 00:19:00,530
Am I right?

456
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:04,530
When nations, evil nations
rise up, up.

457
00:19:04,530 --> 00:19:05,050
And they.

458
00:19:05,050 --> 00:19:07,650
And even evil nations say,
we're going to battle, break and

459
00:19:07,650 --> 00:19:08,050
burn.

460
00:19:08,210 --> 00:19:10,930
So the Lord's been showing me
a rising of both sides.

461
00:19:11,330 --> 00:19:14,450
And my prayer to you with go
V1 is.

462
00:19:14,690 --> 00:19:16,690
It's not about V1 church.

463
00:19:16,850 --> 00:19:20,850
It's about the body of Christ
demanding that as it was in the 1st

464
00:19:20,850 --> 00:19:23,410
century, so shall it be in the
21st century.

465
00:19:23,810 --> 00:19:24,930
Are y' all with me?

466
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:28,690
And the end times church has
to look like the church in the beginning.

467
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:29,530
If you're.

468
00:19:29,530 --> 00:19:32,660
If you're upset about the
tithe, I've got good news for you.

469
00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:35,060
The New Covenant did away with
the tithe.

470
00:19:35,060 --> 00:19:36,700
But I have bad news for you.

471
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:39,700
When it did away with the
tithe, it transformed your heart

472
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,980
and empowered you to go beyond 10%.

473
00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:44,540
I've got good news and bad
news for you.

474
00:19:44,540 --> 00:19:47,580
The good news is we're no
longer gonna stone you for your sin.

475
00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:50,620
The bad news is if you're
gonna become a Christian, you have

476
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:54,380
to kill yourself, crucify your
own flesh, and put it to death.

477
00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:57,380
It may not be a physical
death, but it should feel like a

478
00:19:57,380 --> 00:19:59,660
physical death when you put to
death your flesh.

479
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:00,700
You see what I'm saying?

480
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:05,340
The gospel of Jesus Christ
empowers you to do hard things, not

481
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:07,020
just receive easy things.

482
00:20:07,580 --> 00:20:12,100
The blood of Jesus Christ
empowers you to be new, and a new

483
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:13,060
man comes forth.

484
00:20:13,060 --> 00:20:16,180
And as the new man comes
forth, it says, man, I could never

485
00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:18,020
pray, but I'm submitted to God.

486
00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:19,180
I'm gonna begin to pray.

487
00:20:19,180 --> 00:20:21,580
I could never fast, but I'm
submitted to God.

488
00:20:21,580 --> 00:20:22,380
I'm gonna fast.

489
00:20:22,460 --> 00:20:26,700
I used to hesitate to give
because my biological brain hesitates.

490
00:20:26,780 --> 00:20:30,030
But then through the spirit
I'm willing to step into that moment.

491
00:20:30,420 --> 00:20:32,580
Through the spirit, I'm
willing to push past it.

492
00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:36,020
And I don't know about you,
but I'm looking for a people at V1

493
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:39,980
church that are movement
makers that say, God, I will do these

494
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,700
things if you ask me to do them.

495
00:20:41,780 --> 00:20:44,660
Because obedience is greater
than sacrifice.

496
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:48,420
So last week was about
sacrifice, this week is about obedience.

497
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:51,940
How many of you say, God, take
me through levels, right?

498
00:20:52,260 --> 00:20:54,780
I want to go higher in you depth.

499
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:58,460
It's not just knowing the
scriptures because even Satan knows

500
00:20:58,460 --> 00:20:58,740
them.

501
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:00,900
But Satan refused to obey them.

502
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,640
How many of you want to now?

503
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,280
How many of you say, God, make
me obedient.

504
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,880
I want to pray every day.

505
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,080
I want to be, I want to come
to church and be obedient.

506
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:10,960
I want to represent.

507
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,560
I want to show the light of
Christ in a dark place.

508
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,000
As I'm coming to a close, I
want to show you these scriptures.

509
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,840
Now the Lord said to Abram, go
from your country.

510
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,520
You see this?

511
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,890
Go to your country and your
kindred and your father's house to

512
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:33,450
the land that I will show you.

513
00:21:33,690 --> 00:21:34,730
Look at this verse.

514
00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:42,730
It says, go from your country,
your kindred and your father's house.

515
00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:51,210
In order to go V1, you have to
leave yours for his, yours for his.

516
00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:56,020
Okay, single people, I'm
talking to the ladies.

517
00:21:57,220 --> 00:22:02,180
When you get married, you
leave your house to join his because

518
00:22:02,260 --> 00:22:02,820
marriage.

519
00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:05,700
So Julie left the Owens family.

520
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:08,580
Her last name was Owens, which
is Welsh.

521
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:11,140
And she joined the Signorelli family.

522
00:22:11,140 --> 00:22:12,500
And I made a new family.

523
00:22:12,980 --> 00:22:16,740
And so what happens is when
you become the bride of Christ, you

524
00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:23,070
leave your house, your
customs, your laws, your culture.

525
00:22:23,470 --> 00:22:24,030
Come on.

526
00:22:24,030 --> 00:22:26,190
Well, I'm mad like this
because I'm Irish.

527
00:22:26,270 --> 00:22:28,230
I drink like this because I'm Irish.

528
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:30,030
No, you're not Irish anymore.

529
00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:34,830
When you became the bride of
Christ, you're sober minded, you're

530
00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:35,470
not Irish.

531
00:22:35,629 --> 00:22:36,990
Oh, I'm Puerto Rican.

532
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:38,550
And Puerto Ricans are like this.

533
00:22:38,550 --> 00:22:38,950
No, no.

534
00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:42,390
When you became the bride of
Christ, you left Puerto Rican culture.

535
00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:45,390
And just because they do it
like that in Puerto Rico doesn't

536
00:22:45,390 --> 00:22:46,670
mean they do that in heaven.

537
00:22:46,670 --> 00:22:49,520
It's on earth as it is in heaven.

538
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,680
Come on somebody, I'm trying
to talk to you.

539
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Oh no, I'm African.

540
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,000
Okay, well listen, you want to
go to your roots.

541
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,880
Your roots are Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.

542
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,240
Those are your roots.

543
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,560
And if you're putting culture
above the.

544
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,600
Kingdom, then your culture is
your idolatry.

545
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,280
And I'm trying to tell you
culture matters.

546
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,920
If it's in second place.

547
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,320
But if it's in first place, we
got a problem.

548
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,320
Because in order to step up into.

549
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,920
This thing, we got to start looking.

550
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,720
More like heaven and less like
New York City.

551
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,340
More like heaven and less like
Long Island.

552
00:23:20,420 --> 00:23:22,740
More like heaven and less like Miami.

553
00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:24,100
More like heaven and less.

554
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:24,660
Come on.

555
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:29,820
Leave your country, leave your
kindred, and leave your father's

556
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:31,780
house, and I will show you.

557
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:33,460
I'm not going to show you after.

558
00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:35,580
I'm sorry, I'm not going to
show you before.

559
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:36,660
I'm going to show you after.

560
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:39,620
God, show me the plan for my life.

561
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:42,420
We'll ditch your old plan and
serve the Lord.

562
00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:43,460
Then he'll show you.

563
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,870
Leave your culture.

564
00:23:45,420 --> 00:23:48,540
Leave the things that you've
been holding onto, and then God will

565
00:23:48,540 --> 00:23:51,180
show you, and I will make you
a great nation.

566
00:23:51,340 --> 00:23:54,420
And I will bless you and make
your name great so that you will

567
00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:55,140
be a blessing.

568
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:56,940
I will bless those who bless you.

569
00:23:57,020 --> 00:23:57,660
And I will.

570
00:23:57,660 --> 00:24:00,140
And him who dishonors you, I
will curse.

571
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:03,020
And in all of the families of
the earth shall be blessed.

572
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:04,140
So Abraham went.

573
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:06,580
So Nick Garcia went.

574
00:24:06,580 --> 00:24:08,140
So Stephas went.

575
00:24:08,540 --> 00:24:11,830
So Execa went, so Bella went.

576
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:12,710
This is a.

577
00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:15,990
The story of our life is when
God calls, we go.

578
00:24:16,150 --> 00:24:19,150
When he tells us to do it, I
want it to be said in my life.

579
00:24:19,150 --> 00:24:20,230
And then Mike went.

580
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:23,990
Some of you have been feeling
stuck, but you got two legs that

581
00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:24,310
work.

582
00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:25,350
Come on, somebody.

583
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:27,990
And you gotta begin to use
those legs, right?

584
00:24:28,150 --> 00:24:33,150
And one leg is prayer, and the
other leg is prophecy and proclamation

585
00:24:33,150 --> 00:24:34,150
and declaration.

586
00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:36,890
Let me just tell you, we are a
praying church.

587
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,960
But if all you do is pray,
Long island goes to hell.

588
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,400
If all you do is pray, all of
Brooklyn goes to hell.

589
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,480
If all you do is pray, all of
Miami still goes to hell.

590
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,160
One foot is prayer, and the
other foot is prophecy and preaching

591
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,560
and proclamation.

592
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,000
And that's how we walk.

593
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,680
By the spirit.

594
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:58,360
It's.

595
00:24:58,360 --> 00:24:59,120
Mike went.

596
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,080
I went into the nations and I preached.

597
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,480
I went into the nations and I prayed.

598
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,360
Some of you have never went yet.

599
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:07,840
Because all you've done is pray.

600
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:11,900
Some of you have never went
yet because all you've done is interceded.

601
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:16,780
But you are the answer to your
own prayers because he has empowered

602
00:25:16,780 --> 00:25:18,180
you to do it.

603
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:21,980
And you need to get out of the
classroom and get into the real world.

604
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:25,020
You got to get out of the
books, and you got to start making

605
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:27,260
history books because you went.

606
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,100
Somebody shout, go v1.

607
00:25:35,030 --> 00:25:37,270
Okay, you guys seem like you
like me better.

608
00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:39,430
Abraham.

609
00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:47,030
No logistics, no blueprint, no
gps, no strategy.

610
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:49,510
The strategy is surrender.

611
00:25:51,270 --> 00:25:51,830
Surrender.

612
00:25:51,830 --> 00:25:53,270
Is greater than strategy.

613
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:56,870
Because surrender in the
kingdom is the strategy.

614
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:59,900
I surrender to Danny being my pastor.

615
00:26:00,050 --> 00:26:00,450
Pastor.

616
00:26:00,530 --> 00:26:02,130
You're my pastor, Danny.

617
00:26:02,210 --> 00:26:04,130
I'm proud to call you my pastor.

618
00:26:04,210 --> 00:26:07,010
I go to your church, I serve
your church.

619
00:26:07,170 --> 00:26:08,530
I attend your church.

620
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:11,490
I give 10% of all my finances
to your church.

621
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:14,490
I give offerings a couple of
times a year before that to your

622
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:14,770
church.

623
00:26:14,770 --> 00:26:16,289
And I surrender to you.

624
00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:17,810
I'm not trying to fight you.

625
00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:19,250
I'm not trying to be right.

626
00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:21,490
I'm not trying to be smarter
than you.

627
00:26:21,490 --> 00:26:23,090
I'm not puffing myself up.

628
00:26:23,090 --> 00:26:23,890
I surrender.

629
00:26:23,890 --> 00:26:26,210
And then guess what happens
when you go low.

630
00:26:26,370 --> 00:26:28,040
The Lord now can lift you up.

631
00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:28,390
Up.

632
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:29,950
The Lord can take you higher.

633
00:26:30,030 --> 00:26:31,830
The Lord can begin to lift you up.

634
00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:33,870
But the problem is, we never surrender.

635
00:26:33,950 --> 00:26:34,990
Because I'm an American.

636
00:26:35,230 --> 00:26:36,590
I'm a Puerto Rican.

637
00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:37,710
I am an Italian.

638
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:38,990
No, you're prideful.

639
00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:43,150
Surrender under the mighty
hand of God, and then in due season,

640
00:26:43,390 --> 00:26:44,750
he will lift you up.

641
00:26:44,990 --> 00:26:46,350
But, Mike, that says.

642
00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:49,790
That says, humble yourself
under the mighty hand of God.

643
00:26:49,790 --> 00:26:51,070
But Danny's not God.

644
00:26:51,870 --> 00:26:55,030
When in scripture do you see
God do something without doing it

645
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:55,550
through a man?

646
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:02,380
When God wants to deliver the
Israelites out of Egypt, he doesn't

647
00:27:02,380 --> 00:27:03,140
do it himself.

648
00:27:03,140 --> 00:27:04,340
He uses Moses.

649
00:27:04,740 --> 00:27:08,420
When God wants to distribute
seed in a time of need, he doesn't

650
00:27:08,420 --> 00:27:09,060
do it himself.

651
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:10,220
He uses Joseph.

652
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:11,619
Oh, that's old covenant.

653
00:27:11,619 --> 00:27:13,940
Okay, homie, let me take you
to the new covenant.

654
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:18,100
God takes disciples and makes
them apostles and puts those apostles

655
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:19,060
over churches.

656
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:20,500
Then watch this.

657
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:24,840
Those apostles write letters
to show the lineage of the heritage

658
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,800
of the position.

659
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,200
He uses Timothy.

660
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,280
And then under Timothy, he has elders.

661
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,000
Then under the elders, he have people.

662
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,440
James, chapter five.

663
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,040
Is there any sick among you?

664
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,920
It doesn't just say, pray for
each other.

665
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,960
It says, go to the elders of
the local church.

666
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:43,960
Have the leaders lay hands on
you, and the leaders will anoint

667
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:44,320
you with.

668
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,720
Oil and you will be healed.

669
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,280
And some of you will say, I'm
surrendered to God.

670
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,960
But you never surrender to a man.

671
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,630
And that's why you're confused.

672
00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:53,150
That's why you're broke.

673
00:27:53,310 --> 00:27:55,310
That's why you're disgusted
with your life.

674
00:27:55,390 --> 00:27:58,750
Because God calls us to
surrender to him through a man.

675
00:27:58,830 --> 00:28:01,230
And if you don't learn that in
marriage, you're going to end up

676
00:28:01,230 --> 00:28:02,190
with a bad marriage.

677
00:28:02,270 --> 00:28:03,270
If you don't end up.

678
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:05,630
If you don't learn that in
church, you're going to end up having

679
00:28:05,630 --> 00:28:06,510
a bad church.

680
00:28:06,830 --> 00:28:10,790
But where there is submission,
where there is surrender, the glory

681
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:12,070
of the Lord reigns.

682
00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:13,390
The anointing comes.

683
00:28:13,630 --> 00:28:17,670
Provision comes and this is
not popular, but if the mosque has

684
00:28:17,670 --> 00:28:24,010
an imam, if the local temple
has a rabbi, Homie, a pastor, submit.

685
00:28:24,330 --> 00:28:26,410
This is the way of the Lord.

686
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:28,410
It's always been this way.

687
00:28:32,170 --> 00:28:34,250
Well, I get my sermon on the Internet.

688
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:37,730
Well, you can get a sermon on
any on the Internet and submit.

689
00:28:37,730 --> 00:28:40,090
And you can sit in the room
and not submit.

690
00:28:40,730 --> 00:28:44,330
I met a woman who is at the
conference in Miami, and she said,

691
00:28:44,330 --> 00:28:47,490
I was in Vegas, and all of a
sudden the Lord began to speak to

692
00:28:47,490 --> 00:28:47,770
me.

693
00:28:47,770 --> 00:28:50,170
And she said, I watched Mike
Signorelli preaching.

694
00:28:50,170 --> 00:28:52,170
And the Lord said, I called
you to this house.

695
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,560
I called him to be your pastor.

696
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,000
Would you submit to his authority?

697
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,480
She said, I physically stood
up and I took a step forward and

698
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,360
said, God, I'm submitted.

699
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:01,840
I'm here.

700
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920
I never met that woman in my life.

701
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440
She caught up to give a
testimony two days ago, was bawling

702
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,360
her eyes, saying, my life has
been changed forever because of your

703
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,240
life, Mike, and receiving from you.

704
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,400
But here's what I'm saying.

705
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Submission without proximity
still produces power.

706
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:18,490
Power.

707
00:29:18,650 --> 00:29:22,650
But no submission with all the
proximity equals no power.

708
00:29:23,050 --> 00:29:25,410
So what happens is you got to
make up your mind.

709
00:29:25,410 --> 00:29:26,570
This is my church.

710
00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:27,930
These are my pastors.

711
00:29:28,010 --> 00:29:29,890
Mike is the apostle over this thing.

712
00:29:29,890 --> 00:29:32,410
And I'm going to come on
battle with them.

713
00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:34,090
I am going to break with them.

714
00:29:34,249 --> 00:29:35,690
I'm going to burn with them.

715
00:29:35,770 --> 00:29:36,930
I'm covenanted.

716
00:29:36,930 --> 00:29:39,690
If they have any mom, if they
have a rabbi.

717
00:29:39,690 --> 00:29:43,970
I have a pastor, but I have a
God over that pastor, and I trust

718
00:29:43,970 --> 00:29:44,610
that God.

719
00:29:44,610 --> 00:29:47,220
And we're going to take these
regions, we're going to take these.

720
00:29:47,450 --> 00:29:48,810
These cities we're going to build.

721
00:29:48,810 --> 00:29:50,290
Because, y', all, I'm just
getting started.

722
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:52,370
I don't know about you, but I
look around.

723
00:29:52,370 --> 00:29:53,370
This is not enough.

724
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:57,530
I say, God, let's build
schools in every city so our children

725
00:29:57,770 --> 00:30:00,570
can actually go to Christian schools.

726
00:30:00,570 --> 00:30:05,290
I have a vision for right here
on Long island being the only accredited

727
00:30:05,290 --> 00:30:08,170
Christian college in all of
New York state.

728
00:30:08,330 --> 00:30:11,930
I see people getting
bachelor's degrees in this building

729
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:12,890
very soon.

730
00:30:13,050 --> 00:30:17,050
I see people not having to go
to the secular colleges in New York,

731
00:30:17,130 --> 00:30:21,350
but they come here in this
building to get an accredited decree.

732
00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:23,230
I see artists rising up.

733
00:30:23,230 --> 00:30:25,510
I made one movie and got third place.

734
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:29,190
My next movie is going to get
first place in the box office because

735
00:30:29,270 --> 00:30:31,590
Jesus name is going to be
lifted on high.

736
00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:34,790
I humbled myself under the
mighty hand of God.

737
00:30:34,790 --> 00:30:38,830
And in due season, he's going
to lift me and Evan up as we film

738
00:30:38,830 --> 00:30:41,830
more movie theaters with the
gospel of Jesus Christ.

739
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:43,270
I'm just getting started.

740
00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:44,870
It's time to battle.

741
00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:46,070
It's time to break.

742
00:30:46,310 --> 00:30:48,390
It's time to burn somebody.

743
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,360
But watch, if you can't do the
basics, you don't get to the advance.

744
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,080
So when you think about the
beginning of my sermon when nobody

745
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,400
was clapping, it's because
everybody fails in the little things.

746
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,920
This is why you can't get to
the advance unless you pass the basic

747
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,400
serving, attending, reading,
praying, leading.

748
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,520
Those are the basics.

749
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Then you get to the advance.

750
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,260
And what many of you are doing
is you're watching me be in my advanced

751
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:19,900
season while you're still
failing in your basic season.

752
00:31:20,780 --> 00:31:21,820
But I love you.

753
00:31:22,620 --> 00:31:23,740
That's why I'm saying this.

754
00:31:23,740 --> 00:31:24,460
I love you.

755
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:25,900
I love you.

756
00:31:26,220 --> 00:31:27,580
I want to show you one last thing.

757
00:31:27,580 --> 00:31:28,820
So in the notes, skip to the end.

758
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:31,060
Because this sermon is
anointed, you're going to look back

759
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:33,100
at this sermon and realize
what God was doing.

760
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:37,020
We should be standing room
only, every service in every location.

761
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:40,860
If you start fulfilling the
Great Commission, we should be buying

762
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:43,250
buildings, cast everywhere we go.

763
00:31:43,250 --> 00:31:45,890
If you start fulfilling the
great commitment, if I.

764
00:31:45,890 --> 00:31:46,250
If.

765
00:31:46,330 --> 00:31:47,930
If I'm not the only one doing.

766
00:31:47,930 --> 00:31:49,330
The advance and all y' all do.

767
00:31:49,330 --> 00:31:53,010
It, God, I got people who know
the Bible, the Greek, the Hebrew.

768
00:31:53,010 --> 00:31:55,930
I got more degrees than a
thermometer, but are selfish.

769
00:31:56,010 --> 00:31:57,890
I got people who know how to.

770
00:31:57,890 --> 00:31:59,970
Preach a sermon but don't know
how to live it.

771
00:31:59,970 --> 00:32:03,210
I got people who know how to
sing, but the Lord doesn't receive

772
00:32:03,210 --> 00:32:06,250
it because there's no
obedience connected to the song.

773
00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:08,650
I'm trying to get us aligned
for the basics.

774
00:32:08,810 --> 00:32:12,540
Because come ease Easter
Sunday, when this church walks into

775
00:32:12,540 --> 00:32:16,580
Times Square and we begin to
fill it, we have to march into Times

776
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:19,860
Square praying and
prophesying, praying and preaching.

777
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:22,300
I'm not going to Times Square
to put on a show.

778
00:32:22,460 --> 00:32:24,140
Hey, some of y' all are
playing games.

779
00:32:24,380 --> 00:32:28,220
Take off the mask and get into
alignment with me and say, God, here

780
00:32:28,220 --> 00:32:28,620
am I.

781
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:29,340
Send me.

782
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:32,540
I'm going into Times Square
with a church unified.

783
00:32:32,860 --> 00:32:34,620
A church on the same page.

784
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:36,140
A church that's in one.

785
00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:39,180
One heart, one mind, one body,
one heart.

786
00:32:42,530 --> 00:32:44,010
Okay, I gotta show you one
last thing.

787
00:32:44,010 --> 00:32:47,490
In the scriptures, I just feel
the anointing on this.

788
00:32:49,090 --> 00:32:50,690
I feel the anointing for this.

789
00:32:51,490 --> 00:32:52,290
Okay, watch.

790
00:32:52,290 --> 00:32:53,650
This is my last point.

791
00:32:54,530 --> 00:32:55,570
Oh, this?

792
00:32:55,570 --> 00:32:56,050
No, no.

793
00:32:56,050 --> 00:32:56,690
My third point.

794
00:32:56,690 --> 00:32:57,090
For the.

795
00:32:57,090 --> 00:32:58,130
Whoever's doing the.

796
00:32:58,850 --> 00:33:02,770
The computer, go to point
three, Banaias.

797
00:33:03,010 --> 00:33:03,970
Secret victory.

798
00:33:04,210 --> 00:33:06,190
This is what the Lord told me
to preach to you.

799
00:33:06,190 --> 00:33:07,470
I went nine minutes over.

800
00:33:07,470 --> 00:33:08,510
Are y' all mad at me?

801
00:33:09,470 --> 00:33:11,430
Okay, okay.

802
00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:12,270
Somebody said yes.

803
00:33:12,270 --> 00:33:12,910
Who is it?

804
00:33:13,150 --> 00:33:13,550
Security.

805
00:33:13,710 --> 00:33:14,510
Get them now.

806
00:33:16,030 --> 00:33:16,470
Okay.

807
00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:17,550
Is this helping you, though?

808
00:33:17,550 --> 00:33:18,590
Do you feel loved?

809
00:33:18,750 --> 00:33:20,110
Do you feel encouraged?

810
00:33:20,670 --> 00:33:23,550
Let me just tell you, the
person who loves you the most is

811
00:33:23,550 --> 00:33:25,950
not the person who lies to you
with flattery.

812
00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:30,190
It's the person who looks at
your potential and says, on my watch,

813
00:33:30,190 --> 00:33:32,470
I'm not letting you kill that potential.

814
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:34,310
On my watch, I'm not let.

815
00:33:34,310 --> 00:33:36,230
If you were mediocre, I would preach.

816
00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:37,510
To you like you were mediocre.

817
00:33:37,510 --> 00:33:38,390
I'm being serious.

818
00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:40,070
When I showed up to New York.

819
00:33:40,150 --> 00:33:41,470
I'm talking to you, Brooklyn.

820
00:33:41,470 --> 00:33:42,710
I'm talking to you, Manhattan.

821
00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:43,310
I'm talking.

822
00:33:43,310 --> 00:33:47,310
I realized that the IQ has to
be significantly higher here for

823
00:33:47,310 --> 00:33:48,310
y' all to survive.

824
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:52,750
And when I'm preaching to you
like I am on a Sunday, this is a

825
00:33:52,750 --> 00:33:57,030
loving word because I'm
preaching to the true you and.

826
00:33:57,030 --> 00:33:57,630
And y'.

827
00:33:57,630 --> 00:33:57,710
All.

828
00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:58,680
Do y' all feel it?

829
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,960
Somebody said no.

830
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,920
Okay, now watch.

831
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,960
In second Samuel, chapter 23,
verse 20.

832
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,760
Now we're going to go deeper
for a few moments and then we're

833
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,320
going to pray.

834
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,480
We're not talking about David
and Goliath.

835
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,280
You know that story.

836
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,840
We're talking about Banaia.

837
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,760
And most believers do not know
about Banaiah.

838
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,480
And actually that's.

839
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,280
Oh, that'll preach in of itself.

840
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,320
Are we good?

841
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,700
Are you guys tired you yet?

842
00:34:24,940 --> 00:34:28,060
Okay, I just got to cook.

843
00:34:30,060 --> 00:34:33,420
You know about David and
Goliath because that was a public

844
00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:35,100
battle with a public victory.

845
00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:37,660
And everybody loves those
kinds of stories.

846
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:41,420
But probably none of you know
who Bania is because it was a private

847
00:34:41,420 --> 00:34:43,020
battle with a private victory.

848
00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:44,260
See, this is the thing.

849
00:34:44,260 --> 00:34:45,740
Everybody wants to win in public.

850
00:34:45,740 --> 00:34:47,180
Nobody wants to win in private.

851
00:34:47,420 --> 00:34:48,900
And what the Lord's speaking
to me.

852
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:50,410
If you're going to go v1 1.

853
00:34:50,410 --> 00:34:52,330
The Lord's looking at your
bank account now.

854
00:34:52,330 --> 00:34:54,730
The Lord's looking at your
text messages now.

855
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:55,570
Come on, come on.

856
00:34:55,570 --> 00:34:56,330
The Lord's looking.

857
00:34:56,410 --> 00:34:58,410
And see, it's time for some of.

858
00:34:58,410 --> 00:35:01,290
You can kill a giant in
public, but you can't kill a lion

859
00:35:01,290 --> 00:35:01,770
in private.

860
00:35:01,850 --> 00:35:04,810
And that's why you need to
know about Benaiah for a few minutes.

861
00:35:04,810 --> 00:35:05,530
Are you ready?

862
00:35:06,330 --> 00:35:09,050
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoda.

863
00:35:09,530 --> 00:35:11,370
That's a fire name now, isn't it?

864
00:35:11,770 --> 00:35:17,850
Jehotah was a valiant man of
Capzido, A doer.

865
00:35:17,850 --> 00:35:19,050
Somebody shout doer.

866
00:35:19,770 --> 00:35:22,410
Don't just be a hearer of the
word, but a.

867
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:28,450
What makes you a valiant man
or woman is not your thought, it's

868
00:35:28,450 --> 00:35:29,130
your action.

869
00:35:29,850 --> 00:35:31,330
A doer of great deeds.

870
00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:34,410
He struck down two aerials
let's talk about this word Ariel.

871
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:36,410
Probably you don't know what
that means.

872
00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:38,490
Two aerials of Moab.

873
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:44,210
Those were men that were so
fierce and Ariel is a Hebrew word

874
00:35:44,210 --> 00:35:45,150
for liar, lion.

875
00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:49,990
So men who were so fierce that
they were like lions and he was able

876
00:35:49,990 --> 00:35:50,990
to strike them down.

877
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:56,630
He also went down and struck a
lion in a pit on a day when snow

878
00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:57,390
had fallen.

879
00:35:57,470 --> 00:35:59,790
We've got to break this down,
we've got to break this down.

880
00:36:00,510 --> 00:36:04,750
So this is one of the
mightiest men in all of scripture.

881
00:36:04,910 --> 00:36:09,070
And Benaiah had the ability to
literally he watch this.

882
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:11,430
And he, and he also also went down.

883
00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:13,190
Nobody told him to go down.

884
00:36:13,350 --> 00:36:16,150
Nobody assigned it to him,
nobody asked him.

885
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:18,550
He did it because that's who
he was.

886
00:36:19,030 --> 00:36:20,790
It was flowing from his identity.

887
00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:22,390
That's why I'm working on your identity.

888
00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:25,950
It's like there comes a point
where no one tells you to lead anybody

889
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:26,390
to Christ.

890
00:36:26,549 --> 00:36:28,670
Nobody tells you to be
radically generous.

891
00:36:28,670 --> 00:36:30,950
You do it now because it's who
you are.

892
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:34,030
I want to shout out my
daughter Bella because we were on

893
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:37,920
a flight to Miami and we got
off that flight and Bella comes to

894
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,680
me and she's like dad, I am so excited.

895
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,520
I said, why?

896
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,200
She goes, because the devil
messed up.

897
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,600
I said, what did the devil do?

898
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:48,120
She said the devil sat a Jew
next to me on the plane and I started

899
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,880
talking to him about the
supernatural and the gospel of Jesus

900
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:52,240
Christ.

901
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,480
And on that plane we had this
great conversation and he said that

902
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,000
he's going to come to church
this Sunday.

903
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,770
And so if you're here in this
service, we love you and we're glad

904
00:37:02,770 --> 00:37:06,930
you're here and we love the
Jewish people because my savior Jesus

905
00:37:06,930 --> 00:37:07,650
was a Jew.

906
00:37:07,890 --> 00:37:09,170
Come on somebody.

907
00:37:11,330 --> 00:37:12,770
And we, and this, this is.

908
00:37:13,010 --> 00:37:17,530
But, but what I'm saying is if
I can't pastor my daughter to lead

909
00:37:17,530 --> 00:37:21,570
the lost, then why would you
trust me to pastor yours?

910
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:25,730
It's not what we say, it's
what we do.

911
00:37:26,290 --> 00:37:28,270
The Signorelli is our soul winner.

912
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:30,900
So their church will be a soul
winning church.

913
00:37:31,620 --> 00:37:34,660
The Signorellis are generous,
so their church will be a generous

914
00:37:34,660 --> 00:37:35,060
church.

915
00:37:35,140 --> 00:37:36,100
Let me ask you this.

916
00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:39,380
If, if everybody in the church
was like you, would it die in a few

917
00:37:39,380 --> 00:37:39,700
weeks?

918
00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:43,540
If everybody was like you,
would it thrive in a few weeks?

919
00:37:44,179 --> 00:37:45,460
This is discipleship.

920
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:47,780
It's not a program, it's an apprenticeship.

921
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:51,140
Everybody wants a program
because it's easier than an apprenticeship.

922
00:37:51,220 --> 00:37:52,900
Apprenticeship is what you do.

923
00:37:53,060 --> 00:37:55,290
It's not head knowledge, his
foot knowledge.

924
00:37:55,370 --> 00:37:57,410
My feet hurt, my legs ache.

925
00:37:57,410 --> 00:37:58,650
But I'm gonna press Forward.

926
00:37:58,810 --> 00:37:59,450
I don't.

927
00:37:59,450 --> 00:38:01,970
I know this thing through
experience, even if I don't know

928
00:38:01,970 --> 00:38:02,890
it through my mind.

929
00:38:03,370 --> 00:38:04,050
And that's.

930
00:38:04,050 --> 00:38:08,370
Was Kebzil, a doer of great
deeds, and he struck down two men

931
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:10,090
who were like lions.

932
00:38:10,250 --> 00:38:13,690
But he also went down and
struck a lion in a pit on a day when

933
00:38:13,690 --> 00:38:14,570
snow had fallen.

934
00:38:14,570 --> 00:38:16,250
And if I were to end the
sermon, this.

935
00:38:16,250 --> 00:38:17,130
I'm gonna end it.

936
00:38:18,490 --> 00:38:19,840
Nobody told him to go in the pit.

937
00:38:19,990 --> 00:38:24,670
Pit, it was snowy, which means
it was slippery and it looked like

938
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:25,670
it was impossible.

939
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:29,950
The other thing I love about a
pit is he went V1 because there's

940
00:38:29,950 --> 00:38:31,430
no escape hatch in a pit.

941
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:33,990
I'm going to go down and fight
this lion.

942
00:38:34,070 --> 00:38:34,710
And only.

943
00:38:35,990 --> 00:38:38,070
Only one of us are coming out alive.

944
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:39,710
See there.

945
00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:40,310
There's some.

946
00:38:40,310 --> 00:38:41,910
Some of you are in the fight
of your life.

947
00:38:41,910 --> 00:38:45,030
If you're fighting for your
marriage, you need to jump down into

948
00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:46,270
that pit, that snowy pit.

949
00:38:46,340 --> 00:38:46,620
Pit.

950
00:38:46,620 --> 00:38:49,940
And say every one of my family
members, my father, my great.

951
00:38:50,020 --> 00:38:50,740
This is why you.

952
00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:52,140
I'm wearing the breakers gear today.

953
00:38:52,140 --> 00:38:53,060
You're about to see it.

954
00:38:53,140 --> 00:38:56,700
Because somebody has to rise
up and go into the pit and say, there's

955
00:38:56,700 --> 00:38:57,540
no other way out.

956
00:38:57,540 --> 00:38:58,820
It's do or die now.

957
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:00,180
This is irrevocable.

958
00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:01,460
I'm gonna fight this thing.

959
00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:03,540
And only one of us are coming
out alive.

960
00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:06,340
And if you're fighting for
your marriage and I'm speaking to

961
00:39:06,340 --> 00:39:09,060
the men, jump into that pit
and kill that lion.

962
00:39:09,060 --> 00:39:10,980
And it'll be a private victory.

963
00:39:11,060 --> 00:39:14,420
But I'm telling you what, it
starts as a private victory and then

964
00:39:14,420 --> 00:39:17,100
it ends up becoming a public victory.

965
00:39:17,260 --> 00:39:21,620
Because what you win in
private becomes the curriculum for

966
00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:23,020
what you teach in public.

967
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:25,100
And this is called authority.

968
00:39:25,260 --> 00:39:25,980
Authority.

969
00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:26,620
Authority.

970
00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:29,660
And see, whatever it is,
nobody knows if you're dealing with

971
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:31,620
addiction, nobody may know it.

972
00:39:31,620 --> 00:39:34,460
Nobody's going to grab your
phone and see what you look at.

973
00:39:34,540 --> 00:39:37,180
Nobody's going to go through
your bank account and audit your

974
00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:37,580
stuff.

975
00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:38,500
But the Lord knows.

976
00:39:38,730 --> 00:39:42,610
Knows and see, you got to jump
into a pit sometimes and say, I am

977
00:39:42,610 --> 00:39:46,530
the generational bloodline
curse breaker and only one of us

978
00:39:46,530 --> 00:39:47,930
are coming out of this alive.

979
00:39:48,010 --> 00:39:52,130
And I'm gonna fight this thing
privately so that God gives me influence

980
00:39:52,130 --> 00:39:53,610
and authority publicly.

981
00:39:53,690 --> 00:39:56,330
And nobody may see this season
of my life.

982
00:39:56,410 --> 00:39:57,770
This is what I love about this.

983
00:39:57,770 --> 00:39:59,690
The pit offered no escape.

984
00:40:01,850 --> 00:40:05,260
How much would you fight for a
church if there was no other church?

985
00:40:07,180 --> 00:40:08,900
See, maybe we have too many options.

986
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:09,740
That's the problem.

987
00:40:11,020 --> 00:40:14,220
How much would we fight for
this thing if there weren't thousands

988
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:14,980
of other churches?

989
00:40:14,980 --> 00:40:19,940
We could choose how would you
fight for your marriage if you believed

990
00:40:19,940 --> 00:40:23,420
that they were the only one
because you made that covenant?

991
00:40:24,220 --> 00:40:24,620
It's.

992
00:40:24,620 --> 00:40:27,660
I feel like the Lord's been
telling me, bring your church into

993
00:40:27,660 --> 00:40:31,760
the pit and have them now
begin to fight that line in that

994
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,400
they've been ignoring for a
long time.

995
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,880
But I got good news for you.

996
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,480
You were built for this.

997
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,720
You were built for this.

998
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,480
You were built for this.

999
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,880
And Benaiah, the son of
Jehoda, was a violent, was a valiant

1000
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:46,120
man.

1001
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,600
But I want to show you one
last thing.

1002
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,000
Would you stand to your feet
with me?

1003
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,620
There was no crowd, no
applause, no Instagram live, no.

1004
00:40:57,090 --> 00:40:59,250
No battlefield of snowy pit.

1005
00:40:59,330 --> 00:41:03,650
He fought a line in a pit on a
snowy day in the worst conditions.

1006
00:41:04,530 --> 00:41:07,490
And it was a hidden act of
courage that became the foundation

1007
00:41:07,730 --> 00:41:08,930
for his elevation.

1008
00:41:09,090 --> 00:41:10,930
How many of you want to go v1.

1009
00:41:11,650 --> 00:41:15,570
You got to go into the pit
without any escape so that you can

1010
00:41:15,810 --> 00:41:17,010
get elevated out.

1011
00:41:17,410 --> 00:41:20,250
Now here's what I thought was
insane because I went a little bit

1012
00:41:20,250 --> 00:41:20,770
deeper.

1013
00:41:21,090 --> 00:41:24,450
Private obedience, private
courage, private sacrifice, Private

1014
00:41:24,450 --> 00:41:24,790
discipline.

1015
00:41:24,860 --> 00:41:25,340
Discipline.

1016
00:41:25,580 --> 00:41:28,500
On December 18th, we're gonna
have a moment of.

1017
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:32,940
A private moment with God to
give sacrificially to believe that

1018
00:41:32,940 --> 00:41:34,460
we're going to be able to
build a.

1019
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:36,220
A stage for this church.

1020
00:41:36,220 --> 00:41:37,220
We don't have a stage.

1021
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:38,380
We're preaching on the floor.

1022
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:39,340
We're gonna.

1023
00:41:39,340 --> 00:41:41,700
We're gonna believe that a
college is going to be birthed in

1024
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:45,100
this building I'm in right now
that provides accredited degrees.

1025
00:41:45,580 --> 00:41:48,420
We're gonna believe that God
is gonna take us higher.

1026
00:41:48,420 --> 00:41:51,660
I see mortgage burning
ceremonies for Indiana and Long island

1027
00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:51,850
coming.

1028
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:52,240
Coming.

1029
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,560
That we are not going to be
the debtor.

1030
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,320
That we are to be the lender
and not the borrower.

1031
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,640
Does anybody believe that?

1032
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,560
But this is where greatness is forged.

1033
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,160
It's forged in the snowy,
snowy pit.

1034
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,120
And confidence is not built by hype.

1035
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,320
It's built through private
victories, small wins, quiet disciplines,

1036
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,840
the daily growth journal.

1037
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,600
Nobody's going to come to your
house and see if you filled it out

1038
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,120
every day.

1039
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,540
Nobody's going to come to your
house to see if you grabbed your,

1040
00:42:19,770 --> 00:42:21,690
your, your spouse and prayed
with them.

1041
00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:23,130
Nobody's gonna know.

1042
00:42:23,130 --> 00:42:25,210
You could walk right past that pit.

1043
00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:27,290
You can walk right past that lion.

1044
00:42:27,450 --> 00:42:28,130
You can walk.

1045
00:42:28,130 --> 00:42:29,610
You can even make excuses.

1046
00:42:29,610 --> 00:42:30,490
It's snowy.

1047
00:42:30,490 --> 00:42:32,010
Oh, but I work too much.

1048
00:42:32,010 --> 00:42:33,250
I work overtimes.

1049
00:42:33,250 --> 00:42:34,010
I work doubles.

1050
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:34,890
I work triples.

1051
00:42:34,890 --> 00:42:35,610
I'm tired.

1052
00:42:35,770 --> 00:42:38,130
Oh, but I take my family every
once in a while.

1053
00:42:38,130 --> 00:42:39,290
Oh, but I give enough.

1054
00:42:39,370 --> 00:42:40,130
Oh, but it's.

1055
00:42:40,130 --> 00:42:41,610
I disagree with the scriptures.

1056
00:42:41,610 --> 00:42:44,570
I don't think I like Mike, but
the way he preaches, I don't agree.

1057
00:42:44,570 --> 00:42:45,490
You can make all these.

1058
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,000
These excuses and walk past
that pit and walk past that lion.

1059
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,120
But I'm asking, who wants to
jump into that pit and say, I'm going

1060
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,120
to confront this thing.

1061
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:54,440
Watch.

1062
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,080
Because it's when that lion
gets out of the pit that you're going

1063
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,560
to end up having to fight it.

1064
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,360
And you don't have the
advantage of calculating how you

1065
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:02,920
fight it.

1066
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,040
See, there's some things that
if you don't confront them in another

1067
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,720
season, they're going to
conquer you.

1068
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,360
What's not confronted ends up conquering.

1069
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,070
What's not to going confronted
ends up taking you out.

1070
00:43:13,070 --> 00:43:14,830
And so there's a window of time.

1071
00:43:14,990 --> 00:43:19,030
I see a window of opportunity,
a window of time where you can do

1072
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:19,390
this.

1073
00:43:19,390 --> 00:43:20,550
It's a small win.

1074
00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:21,950
It's a quiet discipline.

1075
00:43:22,270 --> 00:43:24,670
The lion, the pit and the snow.

1076
00:43:25,710 --> 00:43:28,110
The lion, the pit and the snow.

1077
00:44:25,691 --> 00:44:27,051
Everybody says, climb up.

1078
00:44:27,931 --> 00:44:30,491
Sometimes you gotta climb down
before you climb up.

1079
00:44:30,971 --> 00:44:32,491
Climb down into the pit.

1080
00:44:33,291 --> 00:44:33,731
Come on.

1081
00:44:33,731 --> 00:44:35,131
He wasn't pushed down there.

1082
00:44:35,131 --> 00:44:36,691
He wasn't trapped down there.

1083
00:44:36,691 --> 00:44:38,331
He went there on his own.

1084
00:44:39,291 --> 00:44:43,731
This reveals a major, major thing.

1085
00:44:43,731 --> 00:44:45,131
We're gonna pray in a few moments.

1086
00:44:47,211 --> 00:44:50,491
When he was killing the lion,
Benaiah wasn't seeking glory.

1087
00:44:51,451 --> 00:44:53,091
He was actually protecting people.

1088
00:44:53,091 --> 00:44:54,331
If that line went out.

1089
00:44:54,971 --> 00:44:55,931
See, here's the thing.

1090
00:44:56,091 --> 00:45:00,491
I was going through my
pictures and my videos last week,

1091
00:45:01,451 --> 00:45:04,251
and I was looking at the
private areas of my life.

1092
00:45:05,531 --> 00:45:08,931
I saw the video and the
pictures of me performing at the

1093
00:45:08,931 --> 00:45:13,571
Rosie o' Donnell foundation
fundraiser show in Manhattan.

1094
00:45:13,571 --> 00:45:17,371
When I showed up during
Hurricane Sandy, I saw the pictures

1095
00:45:17,371 --> 00:45:22,261
and the videos of my wife and
I going to Katz Deli in Manhattan

1096
00:45:22,261 --> 00:45:25,821
and staying in the bunk beds
of Ron Mandil's place in Bushwick,

1097
00:45:25,821 --> 00:45:26,301
Brooklyn.

1098
00:45:26,301 --> 00:45:30,661
As we were distributing food,
I went on this journey, and it was

1099
00:45:30,661 --> 00:45:32,221
a journey of sanctification.

1100
00:45:32,461 --> 00:45:35,901
It was me going down into that
pit and facing some things.

1101
00:45:36,301 --> 00:45:42,141
Financial insecurities, facing
them, facing the issues of my marriage,

1102
00:45:42,221 --> 00:45:44,671
the questions I had about
Julian, our past.

1103
00:45:45,061 --> 00:45:45,501
And I just.

1104
00:45:45,501 --> 00:45:47,701
Facing it, facing it, facing
it, facing it.

1105
00:45:47,941 --> 00:45:50,301
And it was just absolutely
blown away.

1106
00:45:50,301 --> 00:45:51,861
I'm going to show you some of
this next week.

1107
00:45:51,861 --> 00:45:53,461
It's going to be a time to
laugh together.

1108
00:45:53,781 --> 00:45:55,461
It's going to be a time to cry together.

1109
00:45:55,701 --> 00:45:59,141
And there's a heritage that's
going to be handed to all the pastors

1110
00:45:59,141 --> 00:46:02,101
that were ordained, that are
going to be ordained next week.

1111
00:46:02,341 --> 00:46:05,541
But the reason why this
message is burning in me is because

1112
00:46:05,541 --> 00:46:08,101
the Lord is saying Everybody
wants to be David.

1113
00:46:08,661 --> 00:46:10,181
Nobody wants to be Benaiah.

1114
00:46:11,471 --> 00:46:15,191
See, the thing is, Benaiah was
like, I did it because it was the

1115
00:46:15,191 --> 00:46:16,111
right thing to do.

1116
00:46:16,751 --> 00:46:20,151
And I think in America, for
those of you listening, the right

1117
00:46:20,151 --> 00:46:23,111
thing to do is what you're
doing right now.

1118
00:46:23,111 --> 00:46:24,351
That's why you're at church.

1119
00:46:24,831 --> 00:46:26,351
But don't stop halfway.

1120
00:46:26,751 --> 00:46:29,791
I started this sermon with a
man named Abraham.

1121
00:46:30,431 --> 00:46:31,631
Abraham's father.

1122
00:46:32,111 --> 00:46:34,751
Does anybody here even know
Abraham's dad's name?

1123
00:46:37,001 --> 00:46:41,001
Right, but did you know that
God gave a promise to Abraham's dad,

1124
00:46:41,161 --> 00:46:42,121
not Abraham?

1125
00:46:43,001 --> 00:46:44,681
But Abraham did not go.

1126
00:46:44,681 --> 00:46:47,481
Abraham's dad only stopped halfway.

1127
00:46:47,801 --> 00:46:50,401
And Abraham was the one who
said, I'll go the whole way.

1128
00:46:50,401 --> 00:46:53,521
So he received a promise that
was actually supposed to go to his

1129
00:46:53,521 --> 00:46:53,841
dad.

1130
00:46:53,841 --> 00:46:55,641
And then let's talk about Benaiah.

1131
00:46:55,801 --> 00:46:58,721
I started looking up this man
because I felt so convicted while

1132
00:46:58,721 --> 00:46:59,681
I was writing the sermon.

1133
00:46:59,681 --> 00:47:01,861
Like, I've got to bring our
church to be like Bania.

1134
00:47:02,411 --> 00:47:05,211
Then I found out that
Benaiah's dad was a Levite.

1135
00:47:05,291 --> 00:47:06,651
And I gasped.

1136
00:47:07,451 --> 00:47:07,851
What?

1137
00:47:08,811 --> 00:47:12,731
Because Levites passed the
Levitical heritage down to their

1138
00:47:12,731 --> 00:47:13,051
children.

1139
00:47:13,531 --> 00:47:18,010
So that means that God called
Benaiah to be a warrior, even though

1140
00:47:18,010 --> 00:47:19,611
his dad was a worshiper.

1141
00:47:20,251 --> 00:47:23,771
So that means there was a
shift in the generations for a greater

1142
00:47:23,771 --> 00:47:27,051
calling out from the Levitical
into the warfare.

1143
00:47:27,211 --> 00:47:27,931
And I don't know who.

1144
00:47:28,001 --> 00:47:31,041
Who I'm talking about, but
sometimes you'll look at your family

1145
00:47:31,041 --> 00:47:34,561
line and see that God has
called you to do something different.

1146
00:47:34,641 --> 00:47:36,321
And you become a breaker.

1147
00:47:36,321 --> 00:47:39,201
And you're the one who says,
listen, I'm gonna have to pray like

1148
00:47:39,201 --> 00:47:40,161
you never prayed.

1149
00:47:40,241 --> 00:47:41,601
Give like you never gave.

1150
00:47:41,601 --> 00:47:43,321
Serve like you never get served.

1151
00:47:43,321 --> 00:47:44,240
And there's something.

1152
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:45,121
There's a shift.

1153
00:47:45,201 --> 00:47:49,281
And for Benaiah to go from a
Levitical lineage into warfare.

1154
00:47:49,281 --> 00:47:51,921
Lineage means nobody taught
him courage.

1155
00:47:52,161 --> 00:47:53,971
Nobody taught him sacrifice.

1156
00:47:54,601 --> 00:47:56,281
Nobody taught him warfare.

1157
00:47:56,281 --> 00:47:58,921
It was who he was being activated.

1158
00:47:59,081 --> 00:48:02,881
So the thing I want to say to
the entire church right now is I.

1159
00:48:02,881 --> 00:48:06,681
After this Sunday, I am done
teaching you certain things.

1160
00:48:06,841 --> 00:48:08,841
I want to see what you're made of.

1161
00:48:08,841 --> 00:48:12,041
Either you're gonna get off
the bench and do it, or you're gonna

1162
00:48:12,041 --> 00:48:13,561
keep whining and complaining.

1163
00:48:13,721 --> 00:48:16,881
Either you're gonna rise up
and be a warrior, or you're gonna

1164
00:48:16,881 --> 00:48:18,281
keep being a worrier.

1165
00:48:18,441 --> 00:48:20,281
I'm done trying to force you.

1166
00:48:20,361 --> 00:48:21,831
This is the last word week.

1167
00:48:21,831 --> 00:48:23,631
I'm drawing a line in the sand.

1168
00:48:23,631 --> 00:48:27,271
Either you march with me, or
you stay on your pity party in the

1169
00:48:27,271 --> 00:48:27,551
back.

1170
00:48:27,711 --> 00:48:32,391
But as for me and my house, I
have decided that we will serve the

1171
00:48:32,391 --> 00:48:32,751
Lord.

1172
00:48:32,751 --> 00:48:35,631
I'm gonna lead the loss to the
cross at any cost.

1173
00:48:35,871 --> 00:48:37,751
I want to know who goes with me.

1174
00:48:37,751 --> 00:48:39,791
I'm gonna read my Bible every day.

1175
00:48:39,791 --> 00:48:41,191
Who's reading with me?

1176
00:48:41,191 --> 00:48:43,871
I'm gonna be in a group in
close accountability.

1177
00:48:44,271 --> 00:48:45,951
Who's grouping up with me?

1178
00:48:45,951 --> 00:48:46,911
I'm gonna serve.

1179
00:48:46,911 --> 00:48:47,881
Who's serving with me?

1180
00:48:48,111 --> 00:48:48,271
Me.

1181
00:48:48,271 --> 00:48:48,631
Come on.

1182
00:48:48,631 --> 00:48:49,991
Lift your hands towards heaven.

1183
00:48:49,991 --> 00:48:50,911
If you're with me.

1184
00:48:51,231 --> 00:48:52,591
Only if you're with me.

1185
00:48:53,151 --> 00:48:53,591
Come on.

1186
00:48:53,591 --> 00:48:54,591
This is V1.

1187
00:48:56,351 --> 00:49:01,311
When your hands are lifted,
everybody has a revelation of son.

1188
00:49:01,631 --> 00:49:04,351
But this generation needs a
revelation of slave.

1189
00:49:04,831 --> 00:49:08,631
The apostle Paul called
himself a prisoner, a prisoner to

1190
00:49:08,631 --> 00:49:09,311
the gospel.

1191
00:49:09,631 --> 00:49:13,271
I think sometimes we don't
understand what freedom is until

1192
00:49:13,271 --> 00:49:14,821
we've been a prisoner for a
little while.

1193
00:49:14,971 --> 00:49:15,251
Loud.

1194
00:49:15,251 --> 00:49:16,251
Come on, somebody.

1195
00:49:16,491 --> 00:49:19,611
And so what God wants to do
right now is he wants.

1196
00:49:19,611 --> 00:49:21,251
Even in a 9am sermon.

1197
00:49:21,251 --> 00:49:23,811
I know some of y' all, like,
Mike, you preached so hard today.

1198
00:49:23,811 --> 00:49:24,811
Why would you do that?

1199
00:49:24,971 --> 00:49:27,971
Because I want you to leave
this place saying, all right, I'm

1200
00:49:27,971 --> 00:49:29,371
going down to that pit.

1201
00:49:29,371 --> 00:49:30,571
I'm destroying it.

1202
00:49:30,651 --> 00:49:33,571
See, first you blame the
demon, and then you got delivered

1203
00:49:33,571 --> 00:49:35,771
from a demon and you went
right back to it.

1204
00:49:35,771 --> 00:49:37,891
It's because you need now to be.

1205
00:49:37,891 --> 00:49:42,291
A banaya, to go down into that
pit and destroy that line and do.

1206
00:49:42,291 --> 00:49:44,011
The thing that God's called
you to do.

1207
00:49:44,011 --> 00:49:47,011
And so with your hands lifted
towards heaven, if you're willing

1208
00:49:47,011 --> 00:49:51,371
to go there with me, this is
the true go v1 message say, Heavenly

1209
00:49:51,371 --> 00:49:54,011
Father, I surrender all.

1210
00:49:55,131 --> 00:49:59,691
My surrender is my strategy now.

1211
00:49:59,691 --> 00:50:02,811
I will war like Benaiah.

1212
00:50:03,531 --> 00:50:05,051
I'm going into the pit.

1213
00:50:06,011 --> 00:50:07,171
I'm fighting the lion.

1214
00:50:09,001 --> 00:50:10,361
Like, come on.

1215
00:50:11,001 --> 00:50:11,481
Come on.

1216
00:50:11,481 --> 00:50:13,041
I feel the anointing flowing
right now.

1217
00:50:13,041 --> 00:50:14,281
I don't know if y' all can
feel it.

1218
00:50:14,281 --> 00:50:15,801
I don't know if y' all can
feel it.

1219
00:50:15,801 --> 00:50:17,641
Say this with me like Abraham.

1220
00:50:18,841 --> 00:50:22,521
I'm breaking the curse on my bloodline.

1221
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:24,761
I'm going all the way.

1222
00:50:25,561 --> 00:50:27,081
I'm walking by faith.

1223
00:50:27,481 --> 00:50:29,041
I'm walking by the spirit.

1224
00:50:29,041 --> 00:50:30,441
Come on, help me out, Angela.

1225
00:50:30,441 --> 00:50:31,641
Come on, help me out.

1226
00:50:31,641 --> 00:50:45,251
Let's just begin to work, Sam.
