Summary:
Pastor Mike delivers a fiery, uncompromised message from Colossians 3, calling believers to set their minds on heavenly realities, crucify sinful desires, and live in radical holiness. He confronts compromise—sexual immorality, addiction, greed, anger—declaring «have nothing to do with it.» In a powerful altar call, people publicly surrender physical symbols of addiction (cigarettes, vapes, pills, marijuana, condoms, bank cards) as acts of repentance and idol-breaking. The service erupts into spontaneous revival: massive generosity (cash, houses, ministries surrendered), deliverance from demons (anxiety, lust, self-harm, witchcraft), physical healings (ears, eyes, joints, arthritis), baptisms in the Holy Spirit with tongues, and activations/impartations for prophetic ministry. Pastor Mike awakens «dreamers» and «prophetic people,» using stories of Joseph and Elijah to provoke faith, obedience, and sacrificial giving. The night culminates in corporate worship, dancing as spiritual warfare, and celebration of total freedom in Christ.
Opening Exhortation: Set Your Mind on Things Above
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of the earth. Think of the things of heaven. Come on, shift into a supernatural reality with me right now. Think about the things of heaven. Come on, you are a spirit having a temporary physical experience, but if your spirit has been regenerated by Christ, it’s time to shift in your mind.
Are there tormenting, vexing demons who are trying to steal your attention away from what God has for you in the spiritual realm? Is there somebody who’s made up their mind that they’re going to lose their mind for the sake of Christ? Is there somebody here willing to unmake themselves and to actually begin to be desperate for God today in a way that proves that your mind is set on the things above? Is there somebody who’s willing to crucify the flesh and step up into the spirit? Is holiness something that we can bring back to the forefront of the church? Can we be the kind of people who say, «I’m tired of being hungry. I want to be hungry for Him.» I’m sick and tired of letting my mind go in the direction of the flesh.
Anybody for you? You died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ and God. There is a real life that you have; it’s not the one that you’re going to wake up to tomorrow—it’s the one that you accept today. There is a real life that is hidden within Christ, but in order to find it, you have to journey deeper into Christ. Oh, come on! And when Christ, who is your life—your life is not your ministry. Oh, Pastor Mike, as soon as I get the invitation from Jeremiah Johnson, as soon as I go viral online—oh, Pastor Mike, as soon as I become a bestselling author.
No, your ministry will turn into your misery if you don’t learn how to find Christ. It is Christ. Christ is the journey. Christ is the destination. Christ is the reward. It’s all about Jesus today, and until Jesus becomes enough, nothing else will do. Oh, come on! Some of you came in; I saw how many first-time guests we have, and I imagine that many of you came to find freedom, but I want to readjust your expectations. Will you come to find Christ? Those in search of freedom will actually search out psychic mediums and tarot cards if the world is searching for freedom.
Don’t search for freedom; search for Christ, because when you search for Christ, you’ll find that you exchange one burden for another burden. It’s the burden of sin for the burden of the high calling—the burden that says Christ took the cross, so I must also take my cross. It’s not the absence of suffering; it’s another form of suffering. If you came here to stop suffering, I got bad news for you. It’s an exchange of suffering—it’s the suffering of addiction for the suffering of the high calling of Christ.
Colossians 3: Put to Death Sinful Things
Come on, somebody! It’s not the absence of pain. You’ve got to pick a greater pain tonight. Does somebody know how to buy some oil? They come to the meetings that we’re doing all over the world, and they come in droves. «Oh, maybe I can get a healing. Maybe I can experience something.» I want to experience Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Okay, let’s continue in Colossians chapter three. It says, «And when Christ, who is your life, » just let that settle in. «And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all of His glory.» So put to death the sinful earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing—nothing! Everybody say nothing!
Okay, now listen, this language is very intentional, because in most of our churches, we say things like, «I’m just struggling.» Oh, brother! «I’m just… I’m just struggling.» No, you’re not! You surrendered to that sin. You stopped fighting it a long time ago. You stopped struggling against it a long time ago. We’ve actually created these churches that coddle us in our sin instead of encouraging us to actually crucify the flesh and to go a little bit deeper.
I know that this is not a popular message; I know that this is not a message you’ll hear in most churches in America, but it says there are these things that are lurking inside of you and have nothing—somebody shout nothing! Have nothing to do with sexual immorality. What about just a little? What? I can’t help it, Pastor Mike! The algorithm just feeds me; it knows exactly what I want. It’s just a little bit. I can’t help it, Pastor; I just struggle with it a little bit. No! It says have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy. There’s an invisible string from your heart to your wallet, and I have to pull on it until it breaks today. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater worshiping the things of this world.
Come on, y’all aren’t going to like me after this! Either you’re going to not like me, or you’re going to love me today, 'cause I’m here to offend you all the way to your next level instead of pleasing you all the way down to hell. Hallelujah! Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming, and yes, I’m reading from the New Testament. It says, «You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world, but now is the time!»
Oh, come on, somebody! Now is the time! Sunday night, 6:55 p.m. It is time to get rid of anger, rage, malice behavior, slander, and dirty language. Stop trying to get away with it! Stop trying to excuse it! Come on, Christian cussing! Come on, those of you making off-color jokes! How can you use that tongue to prophesy when you use it to complain? How can you use that mouth to preach when you use it to joke like that? This isn’t me calling you out; it’s calling you up.
It’s time! Is it all right if I go old school tonight? It says have nothing to do with it. Have nothing to do with it! Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature! But I love that it says put on—put on your clothes! As you have matured, your mommy and your daddy do not put your clothes on you anymore; you put your clothes on. Some of you are expecting God to do something that He has entrusted you to do! You’ve come on; you poured the drink and got drunk; you snorted it; you scrolled on your phone, so you put on your new nature! You crucify your flesh! You participate! Get your will in alignment with His will! Is there anybody who hears me preaching? It’s a lot easier to sing a song than it is to do what I’m telling you to do right now. But if you will connect with what God is saying…
Come on! For about the last 30 or 40 years, we haven’t preached like this in the church, and it’s given place to one of the most perverse leadership generations that we’ve had. And it has marked and mired the body of Christ to see people excuse and condone that which we were supposed to kill and crucify. Yeah, demons will be cast out tonight, but before we cast them out, we’ve got to learn how to destroy their nests! They call it their home!
In scripture, they say they come back to their home, so let’s go ahead and destroy their home so they don’t have anywhere to go back to. It’s hard to reside in flesh that doesn’t exist! Devil, by the time you come back, I’m a dead man walking! Come on, I didn’t even start my sermon yet! In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Jew or a gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised. Come on! You begin to go on and see! It says in verse 12, «Since God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe yourself with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.»
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and I could just insert this right here—the pastor who hurt you, the pastor who didn’t see you, the pastor who didn’t elevate your gifts, the spouse that walked out on you—make allowance for their faults because the Lord made allowance for yours on the cross. For this will help somebody! This will help somebody! And forgive anyone! Everybody say anyone! Anyone who offends you! If you’re offendable, if you’re offendable, you’re disqualified from your next level. When you become unoffendable, come on, you’ll look out to them and you’ll say, «God, forgive them for they know not what they do.» I am so secure in my calling; I’m so secure in the one who called me that I can freely forgive you, knowing that this fight is fixed!
Altar Call: Surrender Physical Idols and Addictions
Come on, stay on your feet just a little bit longer! We’re about to take action! Alright, above all, clothe yourself with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts, for as members of one body, you are called to live in peace and always be thankful. Let the message about Christ and all its riches fill your lives. Okay, here’s what we’re going to do right now. Can I get my sweat cloth? I don’t listen to preachers who don’t sweat when they preach! Somebody clap for that! I love it! Here’s what I want you to do. Now this is going to take an incredible amount of boldness right now, and I’m kind of coming out of sequence, but the Lord showed me this today. There’s got to be a level of vulnerability; there has to be a level of transparency in this place.
I will tell you this: I did 41 dates of a global revival tour last year, and I saw a lot of things. I saw people who are full-time paid staff at churches literally admit that they were going to kill themselves that night. I saw people who were working in the children’s ministry who had literal crack and paraphernalia in their purses. I’m telling you, what we’re about to do right now—I’m imploring you, I’m begging you—bring it out into the light! We’re going to do something here in a few seconds, and I’m going to get back to preaching on the other side of this. I’m going to take us out of sequence because I felt an urgency in the spirit to do it. It may just be one person, but it’s easy to say the word repent, but repentance is always connected to action.
What I want you to do right now is, if you have anything that is a physical and visible representation of an addiction or something in your life—because it says have nothing to do with these things—come on, I’m going there! It says to have nothing to do! And so there is no such thing as «I’m struggling with cigarettes.» I’m struggling with drugs. There’s no such thing! It’s either you allow it or you reject it! So I’m going to give you the next 25 to 30 seconds right now, and we’re going to do this in front of everybody! If you came with an e-cigarette, if you came with… if you have pills that you’re abusing, if there’s something that you have, I’m going to give you an opportunity! I’m talking about weed; I’m talking about marijuana. And I want to ask you in the next 30 seconds if you would bring it up to this altar before we even take another step, because this is what revival looks like!
There’s no judgment because we all sin differently, but we’re giving you an opportunity to get rid of it! I’m talking about people who dip… there it is! Come on! Come on! There’s more! Come on! What do you got? What kind of counterfeit comfort do we need to get rid of so that the Holy Spirit can do what only the Holy Spirit can do? Is there somebody else? Come on; bring it to me! Come on, bring it to me! Hey! Hey! Come on, who else? Come on, bring it to me! Is there one more? Is there one more? Come on! Give me the counterfeit comfort because the Holy Ghost is about to take the place of every idol in your life! It’s time that we get high with the Most High! It’s time that we drink the new wine of the Holy Spirit! Come on! Come on, church! Come on, church! Hey! Come on, church! Come on, church!
There’s more! You know what I love about addiction? It mimics the patterns of worship! When I wake up, when I go to sleep, day and night, night and day, let incense rise! No more counterfeits! Day and night, night and day, let incense rise! Day and night, night and day, let incense rise! Day and night, night and day, let incense rise! Hey, devil, you lost tonight! These come into our lives always in the form of comfort! These come into our lives to say, «This is how you’ll make it through! This is how you’ll get through! This is a substitute!» Listen, people come in and they tell me their stories, but there’s something about this; when you break down the idol, the Lord says, «My strength is sufficient for you. My peace surpasses all understanding!»
Come on, is there one more? Come on, I’ll wait! The Bible says resist the devil! I’m more stubborn than him! I got time tonight, devil! Come on! I drink a large coffee; I ain’t got nothing better to do than to wreck your kingdom, because you’ve been wrecking God’s people! Come on, there it is! Devil, you can’t hide! I came to serve notice on you! You’ve been doing things in our lives for too long! Come on! It’s all right, man; I got quite a collection going!
Awakening Dreamers: Joseph’s Story and Prophetic Call
Try to take your seats if you can! Don’t you love it when He gives you the heads of your enemies? Genesis chapter 37… it’s a familiar passage; hopefully, I’ll bring an unfamiliar revelation.
Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. Some of you were doing all right until you started telling people what God told you. Some of you used to get invited to the functions until you told them what God told you. Some of you used to get the texts to hang out until you told them what God told you! Hey, hey, hey! You can rest easy tonight 'cause you’re surrounded by other dreamers in this atmosphere! People who are continuing to believe that God can do the impossible! I was looking at this tonight. I’m going to ENC, and there was a rumble of joy in this city! There was a rumble of joy in the city! And there is a rumble of joy in the city! And there was a rumble of joy in the city! You may have gotten my dad; you may have gotten my grandpa, but you won’t have me!
Woo! I told you we got some dreamers! When that man came up, you know why he had a vision of a different version of himself? See, when you bring stuff up to the altar, it’s always in response to another vision. See, when you see yourself broke, busted, and disgusted, when you see yourself in bondage, you’ll live like that! But when you see a vision of you free, everything that binds you has to come off! This suited an older version of you, but that version has expired! So let me talk to my dreamers—they were binding sheaves of grain in the field! Then suddenly, my sheaf rose and stood upright while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it!
His brothers said to him, «Do you intend to reign over us? Do you really think this is what they’ll say? Do you really think you’re better than us? Oh, you’re holier than thou 'cause you go to that church?» And is that just my family? Oh, now you’re on this deliverance thing? Everything’s a demon! I deal with pastors like that. Not everything’s a demon! Well, why don’t you confront the demons that are blinding you, and then you’ll see that we are engaged in warfare, and you better stand up and fight! Do you intend to reign over… you think you’re better? Oh, you stopped smoking at that revival. This guy really likes that voice; do you like that favorite part of your sermon? And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he said! Dreamers are hated by the people who should support them the most!
That’s why these environments of revival are so important, because see, in some of your circles, you get rid of your cigarettes, and nobody’s clapping for you because they bum cigarettes off of you! You bring a cigarette in this environment surrounded by dreamers, and we’re going to clap wildly because we’re trying to get free, too! I got more for you!
Number two: dreamers are misunderstood! Intentionally! What if I told you that they’re committed to misunderstanding you? What if I told you they’re trying to misunderstand you? What if I told you they don’t want to understand you? What if I told you that you’re trying to convince them that this is real, but if you stop doing the job of the Holy Spirit, maybe He can convince them that it’s real? There are people who are committed to misunderstanding you! For years and years and years, I was engaged in conversations with people that were committed to misunderstanding me, and the Lord finally said, «Mike, they are intentionally misunderstanding you!» Do you know that God will change your circles in order to change your levels?
Number three: dreamers can’t help but share their dreams, despite the consequences. One of the ways that you know that you are destined to function in a prophetic dimension is that, even though you know the consequences for sharing your dream, you can’t help but share it. There’s just something in you that just won’t be silent, that won’t shut up! There’s just something inside of you that won’t stop declaring it and won’t stop speaking it! There’s something in you that will write it down and put it on paper around your office. There’s something inside of you that will write it in marker on your mirror if you know that you’re called to it! There’s something that won’t be silenced on the inside of you! As a matter of fact, there might be something churning in your belly right now because I’m trying to awaken dreamers! I’m trying to awaken prophetic people!
I’m trying to awaken those who have been rejected by those who should have helped them—those who should have come around them! I’m trying to awaken… There’s a reason why you couldn’t kill yourself. There’s a reason why you couldn’t quit! There’s a reason why you still come to church, even though you endure church hurt! There’s a reason! I want to tap into the core of the dreamers tonight! It doesn’t make sense; they think that just because we’re not atheists, we don’t struggle with doubt! They think that just because we’re the loudest ones singing that we don’t struggle with doubt! They don’t think that it’s possible to be in an environment like this and still say, «God, are you really listening? Are you really here? Are you really responding? Is this my feelings? Is this emotionalism?»
But see, Joseph endured through every season because there was some faith persisting on the inside of him that said, «I know that dream was from God! I know that I was given something! I know the One who called me is going to work all these things out for my good!» I don’t know why these things happen; I can’t make sense of all the chapters, but I know that I could hit a chapter that redefines all the chapters that came before it! I know that there are plot twists in the kingdom! I know that God will set you up to begin to experience a turnaround that redefines all the previous chapters! What if I told you that what God was getting ready to do in this season will cause you to re-evaluate how you tell the stories leading up to this season? What if I told you some things are about to make sense that didn’t make sense before?
Personal Testimony: Called at 15
Okay, I got one last thing for you, and then we’re going to get into it! Do you feel something stirring? First Kings chapter 17, verses 7-16… I’m talking to prophetic people! Do I have any prophetic people here? Before, while you’re finding First Kings 17: 7-16, I’ve told this story all over the world. When I was 15 years old, I walked out of our small church in the south side of Chicago. I was incredibly introverted, and I actually left the church because I was trying to get away from people. I was the kind of person that was like sitting in the back, and I was the first out every Sunday. Just incredibly introverted! That particular Sunday, I walked out the front door, and as I began…
Come on, praise God! Hallelujah! Woo! You know that you have my permission to get free before the sermon is over! You know you have permission to get healed and delivered before I’m done preaching! You know that you don’t have to wait! I said now is the time! I’m just letting the Holy Spirit do what only He can do by the Finger of God! Come on! You are delivered! At 15 years old, I walked out of the church, extremely introverted—a whole lifetime full of abuse that I endured up to that moment—and this little woman in this Hispanic neighborhood walked up to me, and she pointed her crooked old finger, and she began to say like this, «I had a dream about you! I’ve never seen you before, but I saw you in my dream! You preached at my church, and revival broke out!»
Now, my response was not this guy’s response. My response was fear! I said, «Are you kidding me? There’s no way!» I said, «Matter of fact, word for word, what I said was, 'You’re crazy! '» That’s what I said! «Woman, you’re crazy!» But every single week, week after week, she would come to my church after her service was over from the church down the street, and she would come to my pastor and say, «You know that young one, Mike? He’s supposed to preach at my church! I had a dream! I’ve never seen him before in reality, but then I saw him, and he has to preach!»
And every week, he would say, «You don’t understand! Mike is introverted! You don’t understand! Mike is not like that!» Finally, one week, to get rid of this woman, my pastor actually brought me into his office with her, and all of a sudden, he looked at her and he looked at me, and he said, «Mike, just tell this woman that you’re not going to preach at our church! You can’t do it!» There’s something about Saul’s Armor. I didn’t know what was inside of me until someone else put a limitation on top of me! I said I didn’t know what was inside of me until someone else’s limitation came on me! My spirit activated, and I said I’ll do it!
And the pastor said, «What?» And the woman said, «What?» One week later, I preached my first sermon, and revival broke out! I have been all over the world! I never asked anybody to schedule me to preach a sermon! I never had to appoint myself, but if God anoints you, God will appoint you out of obscurity! He’ll call you out! I’m telling you there’s a Joseph, there’s an Elijah, there’s somebody here who needs a reminder that you didn’t call yourself, but you were chosen by God Almighty! Why do you think you endured all this? Why do you think you’re still here? God called you! I didn’t ask for this, but I said yes, and there are millions of people living in my yes now!
Who’s going to live in yours? Who’s going to live in your yes? 99% obedience—oh, I’m doing real good—is 100% disobedience! There is no way to offer God any less than all! He only operates within the realm of totality! You cannot give Him half of your heart! You cannot give Him half of your sexual desires! You cannot give Him half of your finances! There are times where He requires an all from you! There are times I’m telling you some of you have been wrestling with this thing, and I’m trying to push you over that threshold! And if it’s 99%, come on over to 100%! That’s what this looks like!
Elijah and the Widow: Prophetic Demand and Radical Obedience
And so, First Kings 17: 7-16… sometime later, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the Lord came unto him, «Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon. Stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.» So he went there, and when he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, «Would you bring me a little water in a jar so that I might have a drink?» As she was going to get it, he called, «Bring me, please, a piece of bread!» «As surely as the Lord your God lives, » she replied, «I don’t have any bread! Only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug! I am gathering a few sticks to take home; I’m going to make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and then I’m going to die!»
Come on; this is a familiar story, but I think how many of us are truly prophetic because prophetic people—now, pastoral people, they might say, «Well, let’s go into the local food pantry. I can’t believe you don’t have food! Everybody should have food! There’s food everywhere!»
Yeah, let’s go get you food! Matter of fact, how much money do I have? Let’s go shopping together! Almost 100% of you in this situation would actually activate within a realm of generosity and you would say, «Okay, I’m going to ask you to give this thing!» But the prophetic people don’t have a problem putting a demand, because where there is a demand, there is always a supply! See, what happens when you take something out of the natural realm and then you put it into the spiritual realm? It transfigures! The things of the natural realm are limited and will always face death, but when you bring them out of this realm and you place them into the spiritual realm, they become eternal!
As long as that money is in your bank account, it is subject to the laws of this land. But as you remove it and begin to transact it, there’s a transfiguration that begins to take place! The Bible says, «If you lay it at the feet of Jesus, yourself, something begins to happen! It enters the kingdom of heaven’s circulation where it can do some things it couldn’t do!»
Let me just tell you, because I’ve been reviving for a long time, when you use your strength to go to work, you’ll want to go home at the end of the day. But the Bible says, though in Proverbs, those who refresh others will be themselves refreshed! So when you take your energy—people say, «Mike, aren’t you going to wear out?"—no! Because I’m transfiguring my energy! I’m taking it out of the physical realm! I’m not building a business! I’m not building my own image! I’m not building a ministry! I am building the kingdom of heaven on earth! And when I take my energy out of this realm, it transfigures and becomes an unlimited supply!
Come on! Did you know that even demons counterfeit this? Oh, I’m going deep! Mark chapter 5—we’re talking about Break Every Chain! Demons are like, «Yeah, I can do that too!» Matter of fact, when they, in Mark chapter 5, placed chains on the demonized man, he was able to break them with supernatural strength! People who are under demonic control can actually have supernatural unlimited strength to fulfill the desires and the cravings of that demon!
Some of you used to go out all night; some of you used to just go looking for any and all opportunities because you were demonically controlled and empowered with the supply of energy to fulfill that desire! Oh, can I go there? See how the enemy counterfeits! But there’s this something else; some of you have never switched into that spiritual dimension because you have never taken it out of one realm and placed it in the other!
And this is what he says to her—and this is one of the hallmarks of prophetic people: «As surely as the Lord your God lives, » she replied, «I don’t have anything!» And she begins to say her situation. And then verse 13, Elijah said to her, «Don’t be afraid!» See, she was making a fear-based decision that to many people would look like stewardship! Oh, y’all aren’t ready for this! Come on! She was making a fear-based decision! «Well, I’m going to bundle up these sticks; I’m going to make a fire; I’m going to use my last little supplies; we’re going to eat one last meal, and that’ll extend our lives just a little bit. And this is the best I can do to steward what little I have!»
If it doesn’t meet your need, it should become your seed! If you’re going to die anyway, why don’t you die to flesh, die to self, die to the desire? Why don’t you begin to give it? Why don’t you become a river and not a Phosphor? Come on! And so, he puts a demand on her and says, «Don’t be afraid! Go home and do as you’ve said, but first"—everybody say first! —"make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me. And then make something for yourself and your son!»
So, there was a realigning of the priorities! He’s saying, «Don’t leave yourself and your son out, but seek ye first! Take care of what God is doing in the earth first!» If you pay your mortgage first, you might be out of alignment with kingdom building! You might be doing a better job building your home than God’s house! If you pay your car note first—
I didn’t come here to preach a generosity message, but you guys are getting a revival message because in the book of Acts you started to see this radical generosity! Are you hearing me? She said—he said, «First, go out and make this for yourself, or for me, and then yourself and then your son! For this is what the Lord God of Israel says: the jar of flour will not—» I’m not going to show this on the camera because it’s sensitive, but this is a bank card. This is—come on, y’all! I haven’t even asked! But the Lord is doing something right now! I’m—this is revival!
Spontaneous Generosity and Surrender
You understand? This is revival! We don’t give under compulsion! Your old nature couldn’t do this, but your new nature freely does what the old you couldn’t do! Do you feel this? What this represents is idols are being destroyed right in front of you! This is what it looks like for idols to be destroyed right in front of you! Come on, man! I like it here! You are witnessing a miracle! You are witnessing revival! We will set it in order today! Seek first! Now listen, I’m going to keep on preaching, and you guys can keep on responding!
I believe that something much bigger is going to happen! I don’t know if it’s boats; I don’t know if it’s houses; I don’t know what it is! I’m serious! I had somebody tell me that March 1st, somebody was going to give me land! And I was like, «There’s no way! I don’t even see how that’s possible!» I was standing in our Indiana campus when all of a sudden, the developer of a new little—I don’t know what you call it—a subdivision comes up to me and says, «Hey! I know this is random, but we have this whole parcel of land we don’t know what to do with it! Can I deed it over to you?»
So, there’s something stirring right now! I haven’t even finished yet! Praise God! But let the Lord work on your heart! I sold my house in Northwest Indiana; I gave away one-third of all my possessions, and I moved to New York City to start a church with 18 people! We hit the fastest-growing church in America for the last four years in a row, and people ask me what my secret is! I say you have to give up to go up! I had to give up my house to build His house! Oh, I’m provoking somebody right now!
It starts with cigarettes. Where are we going to end tonight’s journey? Come on! Where are we going to? First, you see as you progress on your journey, first, you give up your sin, but as you go deeper, you start giving up things that aren’t even sin because the Lord’s provoking you for more!
Oh, come on! Something’s—oh! Here they come! Here they come! Woo! In the book of Colossians, it says have nothing to do with sexual immorality! And you don’t need condoms if you’re not fornicating anymore! What do I need a condom for when I’m waiting for a covenant? I heard the Lord saying it’s time to exchange condoms for a covenant! Somebody just qualified for the next level! He who finds a wife finds a good thing! Sometimes you got to give up a hookup to make room for a wife! Come on, somebody!
Closing Celebration: Dance as Warfare and Victory
Now this—this is spiritual! What we’re about to do is we’re about to dance from the front to the back and in the overflow! And somebody would be like, «Ah! I don’t dance!» And the Lord says, «The new you does!» Don’t you dare judge someone’s worship if you don’t know their warfare! There are some people who have been through some stuff. And see, let me tell you what this dance symbolizes: This dance—see, the Bible says that her heel will crush the head of the serpent! You’ve got to dance upon injustice! You’ve got to dance up! It says that we will trample snakes! Tra! Somebody shout trample! Come on! Ain’t that word sassy? Trample! Depression told you that you’ll never dance! Oh wow! Oh wow! I have some more spoils of war! I have some more spoils of war! Wow! Thank you!
You said, «Not only do I send it but I wow!» Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! See, you have watched today. I just want—because here’s why we’re going to dance today. You can now leave this place when this is over and you could say, «I watched a woman give a house! I watched grown men bring up cash and throw it! I watched luxury purses and phones get thrown! I watched drugs get thrown!» And you can now say you’ve seen revival! You watched children receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit speak in tongues! You’ve seen a group of young women who were self-harming literally begin to push past that shame and worship the Lord and all get free together! Suicides canceled! Demons come out of people from front to back! And sometimes when you dance, it’s because the devil thought that everything that happened to you was going to rob you of your dance!
Yeah! Now I got one more! The Lord’s got one more move for you! There was a sweet woman; she was Jamaican, and she came to our Brooklyn campus, and she came with a walker. And she had this dream; I didn’t know she had this dream, but in her dream, it was a prophetic dream. She came to our Brooklyn campus, and I asked everybody to dance, and she started to try to dance, and the leg braces broke off! And she didn’t need her walker! That was the dream she had! If you go on my Instagram, you can watch the video of her dream coming to pass! We begin to do a dance like this! It was on—what’s that movie? Forest Gump—where he starts running and the leg braces fall off! This woman started dancing so violently, the leg braces broke off her legs! You can watch it if you don’t believe me!
So there’s one last thing to tonight is this dance we’re about to do! From front to back, you will experience a healing in your body! See, now watch! Okay, focus! Look at me if you can! Jesus said, «Pick up your mat and walk!» The action is an activation of faith. When were they healed? There was some time in between the obedience and picking up the mat that activated it!
So this dance-this is a supernatural dance! Depression, anxiety, fear, worry, apprehension, doubt-all will try to silence you! Shame! But guess what? When you start drinking that new wine of the Holy Spirit, you start feeling something move through your body, you start to feel a freedom! And I know we got a slanted-weird, so don’t tuck and roll down the-you know, I just had-yeah, don’t tuck and roll! You know?
So if you need to grab something, grab it, but I want to try to get 100% participation! Are you ready? Are you ready? And this-and watch! The spirit of religion hates dancing, but I got news for you! The people of God are rising up! I got news for you! There’s a dance on the inside of us! I got news for you! We’re healed and whole and delivered! I got news for you! The strength of God! They that wait upon the Lord, He shall renew their strength! Come on! They will mount up with wings as eagles! They will run and not grow weary! They will walk and not faint! Come on, Holy Ghost! Come on! Come on!
