  1. Hey, I would love to welcome each and every one of you from all

  2. around the world right now.

  3. So can you drop a comment in the chat?

  4. Matter of fact, even if you're watching in a living room, just turn

  5. the volume down on your phone and comment in the comment section.

  6. And let's see everybody from V1 Global represented.

  7. And let me know where you're watching from.

  8. We are right now here in the new building in Smithtown, and it

  9. is such an incredible experience.

  10. And for this to be the first thing that we do in this building,

  11. I believe is just God setting the cornerstone, the very foundation.

  12. And of course, I cried already before we even hit record.

  13. And as y'all are pulling this up on YouTube and subscribing, make

  14. sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't.

  15. And commenting.

  16. And we've got our engagers there.

  17. I'm telling you, this is one of my favorite services we do every

  18. year because, listen, I don't know what's gonna happen, but the

  19. Lord does.

  20. It's not a mystery to Him.

  21. And he divinely gives us.

  22. The Bible says that the Lord does nothing without first revealing

  23. it to his prophets.

  24. And I don't regard myself as a prophet, but I do regard myself as

  25. an apostolic builder.

  26. And oftentimes God has had to tell me what's going to happen so

  27. that I can successfully build his church around the world.

  28. And so I'm gonna be sharing some things and taking some very

  29. big risks.

  30. But I do have an authentic, and I just wanna.

  31. An authentic, real prophet.

  32. And you've seen him on the stage at the Breakers Conference

  33. in front of thousands and thousands of people.

  34. You've seen him go viral on Instagram.

  35. And God has just continually and perpetually confirmed the things

  36. that he said through you.

  37. Despite the haters, despite the ones who don't understand the

  38. prophetic realm, even in the midst of that you've been prophesying

  39. since the 90s.

  40. Here we are in 2024, on the precipice of 2025, and Prophet Josh

  41. Hamstra, we have the privilege of having you serve as our executive.

  42. But we honor you as a prophetic voice.

  43. So welcome to Sabbath Sunday, and welcome to the living rooms of

  44. homes around the world, man.

  45. Well, thank you so much, Pastor Mike.

  46. What an introduction.

  47. And it's amazing to sit in this building here.

  48. We literally got the keys yesterday, and we're sitting in here.

  49. And just so you guys know, like, right before we started, Pastor

  50. Mike was giving vision for this.

  51. And I feel like everyone in this room, like the faith was rising.

  52. And my prayer for even in this moment now is that wherever you are

  53. at, whatever's happening in your life, that even in this moment,

  54. these next 30 minutes, that the faith rises in your living room

  55. for the impossible, that the faith would rise in every single

  56. life that's listening to this, that's hearing this, to say, wait,

  57. this is the season that the Lord God of the heavens is going

  58. to open up the skies.

  59. He is going to open up the skies.

  60. And I literally, even as you were praying, it's like, I have a

  61. bunch of stuff prepared, and I feel like the Lord gave me some things

  62. that I want to, like, physically read.

  63. But it's like, as you were praying, it's almost like I saw the

  64. hands of God ripping open the skies.

  65. It was like he was tearing it back.

  66. And it's like, this is a season of the Lord releasing the

  67. favor on the faithful, like those that have remained faithful,

  68. those that have been through the suffering, been through the persecution,

  69. walk through the fire.

  70. And the Lord says, I am releasing favor on those that have

  71. remained faithful.

  72. And there is an open heaven over those people.

  73. And so I just wanna start it off by saying, like, man, let the

  74. faith arise in your home.

  75. You've been praying for your kids, you've been praying for your

  76. spouse, and you're like, lord, is this ever gonna happen?

  77. Am I ever gonna see my son or my daughter or my family serve the

  78. Lord?

  79. And I believe this is the time, this is the season, this is

  80. the E church where the prayers that we have been praying for years

  81. and years and years that there is favor on those prayers.

  82. Wow.

  83. You know, I'm overwhelmed right now because I'm watching you

  84. prophesy.

  85. We're surrounded by cameras right in the middle of this gymnasium

  86. where we will be holding services soon on Long Island.

  87. And you served as a board member of V1 Church.

  88. And I'll never forget, like a Joshua and Caleb, we showed up to

  89. New York City, we looked at venues, and we just dreamed about

  90. what God could do.

  91. And that's almost a decade ago now.

  92. And when you said that he's opening up and releasing favor upon

  93. those who are faithful, it's like, yeah, we're living in it right

  94. now because I remember us not even knowing as a young church, V1

  95. church, less than 50 members.

  96. How could we even afford one venue?

  97. And now six physical locations later.

  98. This right now is our second building that we've purchased.

  99. We just got a 24.

  100. 7 access in South Florida, Miami.

  101. I mean, Eye has not seen nor ear heard neither has it entered

  102. into the heart of man, that which God has prepared for us, for

  103. those that he loves?

  104. And so for those of you that are watching right now, I just want

  105. to remind you, you can't figure it out because it's greater

  106. than what you can conceive.

  107. And this is not hope or hype.

  108. This is hope because I think, like, hype is like, oh, God's going

  109. to bless you.

  110. No, no.

  111. God blesses the faithful.

  112. God blesses those who are consistent.

  113. God blesses those who have remained in the faith.

  114. And there's many people that are stepping into 2025.

  115. And I believe that even us being in this building.

  116. But can I take it a step further?

  117. Yeah, yeah.

  118. Because we need to fix the roof.

  119. I walked in, and thankfully there had been a heavy rain, and

  120. there's several puddles of water.

  121. And at first I was so discouraged because I said, God,

  122. you gave us an incredible deal on this building, but now we got

  123. to fix the roof already.

  124. And I thought about how when Joshua and Caleb went into the promised

  125. land, and that same feeling of like, yes, we're here.

  126. Canaan, the land that flows with milk and honey.

  127. Wait a second.

  128. There's giants.

  129. So I believe that coming into 2025, I saw the word promise and

  130. I saw the word giants.

  131. And I heard the Lord saying to many people watching right now that

  132. stepping into the promise doesn't mean the absence of giants.

  133. As a matter of fact, the giants are the sign that you're in

  134. the promise.

  135. And so don't.

  136. But I sat down with Everly.

  137. You know, she's 10 years old.

  138. We did Psalm 91 last night.

  139. And I believe that God wants us to actually exchange panic for

  140. preparation because we are stepping into the promise.

  141. And the giants are not a contradiction of the promise.

  142. The giants are the confirmation of the promise.

  143. And so I don't know how, but somebody watching right now is going

  144. to sow financially, and we are going to fix this roof so we can

  145. get occupancy.

  146. Just like Joshua didn't do it alone.

  147. Caleb didn't do it alone.

  148. They were all giant killers.

  149. Matter of fact, you know, they said, hey, we're ready.

  150. The ones that stepped in, we're ready to do this.

  151. We're all marching around the walls of Jericho.

  152. We're going to get this thing done.

  153. So prophetically, I see a teaming together.

  154. And for those of us that are watching right now, you did it alone.

  155. And now you're going to actually have the other giant killers

  156. with you.

  157. But.

  158. But the giants are the confirmation of the but you're going

  159. to kill them together and do this together.

  160. Wow, man.

  161. As you were talking, I just.

  162. I kept hearing where you arrived is not your final destination.

  163. And I feel like even us walking into this building, we could

  164. be like, oh, no.

  165. Well, there's water leaking, and there's all these costs now associated

  166. with.

  167. And I feel like I saw people at home, and even what they were

  168. praying for, the Lord gave to them, but it wasn't what they thought.

  169. And it's almost like the manna to them became a curse.

  170. Wow.

  171. And the Lord is like, hey.

  172. And I saw a picture of people arriving at the Dead Sea, and it's

  173. like, if you arrive on the south end, I think it is.

  174. Or the north end, it's desert.

  175. And you could arrive at it at what looks like fresh water and be

  176. like, oh, no, this thing looked great, but it's actually salty.

  177. If you arrive on the other side, the river is there, and it's

  178. fresh water.

  179. Wow.

  180. And it's like, where you arrived, it may have been salty water.

  181. It may have been something that you didn't expect.

  182. Even the thing you were praying for, the Lord gave you.

  183. And you're like, well, wait a minute.

  184. There's leaks everywhere.

  185. This thing's broken.

  186. And the Lord is like, where you arrived, what I gave you is not

  187. the final destination.

  188. Like, you could keep moving, get to the clean water.

  189. The Jordan is there, the river is there.

  190. And even being in this building, it's like, I believe that

  191. there's going to be faith arising even in people right now

  192. saying, I will sow to this thing.

  193. Because, listen, us arriving here with water all over the place,

  194. like, this roof's gonna get fixed.

  195. You know, we're gonna.

  196. We got a stage to build and all these things.

  197. And it's like, where we arrived is not the final destination.

  198. It is greater.

  199. It is something bigger.

  200. We are gonna build bigger.

  201. Well, I keep thinking about Joshua, Chapter one, where over and

  202. over again, the Lord says, be courageous.

  203. Be courageous, be courageous.

  204. And it's like, a lot of times we think, well, I don't need courage

  205. to step into the Promise, because the promise is gonna be when

  206. things get better.

  207. But it's like, no.

  208. The first stage of stepping requires dethroning giants.

  209. It requires conquering.

  210. Then it gets better.

  211. And so I walked in this building and I said, oh, we're finally

  212. out of that little venue.

  213. And we have this big venue, and we have this.

  214. We're finally there.

  215. And then I saw the water and I saw this and all the work that needed

  216. to Be done.

  217. Which we knew, but not to this extent.

  218. And it's almost like giants look smaller from farther away.

  219. And then you step into the promise, and you're like, oh.

  220. And so I just believe that God is speaking divinely to many people

  221. watching right now and saying, have courage.

  222. Yes.

  223. Like, you're single, and then you're gonna meet your mate and be

  224. like, I'm coming into the promise.

  225. Oh, no.

  226. Have courage.

  227. You're gonna need counseling.

  228. But I thought this was the husband God promised.

  229. Oh, it is, but there's some giants to deal with.

  230. Have courage.

  231. Oh, I finally.

  232. I got my new job.

  233. I got a promotion.

  234. Matter of fact, I'm making more money.

  235. Have courage.

  236. But my finances are better.

  237. Yes, but now you're gonna have to conquer some giants.

  238. Your job got a little harder, and there's something about that.

  239. So I just want to release supernatural courage right now.

  240. And if you're watching right now, the Lord is just imparting supernatural

  241. courage to you.

  242. Courage is what you do in the face of fear.

  243. Can I do some 40,000 foot like global prophecy right now?

  244. Because just in the last week, God has increased my subscriber count

  245. by almost 100,000.

  246. I've been livestreaming to 20,000 concurrent live viewers.

  247. And by the way, there is no trick to the algorithm.

  248. It is God's sovereignly and divinely increasing influence to

  249. get the word out.

  250. And I'm gonna step into that.

  251. I know you've got notes too, so I'm gonna kick it back to you

  252. in a second.

  253. But six months before the global pandemic, the one that we

  254. just got through, six months before, the Lord began to tell me,

  255. something's coming.

  256. Something's coming.

  257. Prepare, prepare, prepare.

  258. And I had a meeting with our staff, and I told them, Ryan and

  259. Mallory, they heeded the warning.

  260. They saved their money like I told all the staff to do.

  261. Sure enough, six months later, the global pandemic hits.

  262. And in Ryan's own words, because I want to make sure I'm quoting

  263. him properly, he said we were thriving in a time when many other

  264. people were barely surviving, but it was because we exchanged panic

  265. for preparation, and you gave us the word of the Lord.

  266. So here's what I see happening in the Earth in 2025.

  267. And I'm going to take some risks, and I'm willing to be wrong,

  268. but I took risks last year, and I was just telling you off the

  269. air that how I knew that the prophetic words that I gave last

  270. year were coming to pass was people on TikTok and Instagram and

  271. various other platforms were taking the clips of the news and

  272. combining them with what I saw.

  273. I didn't even know.

  274. There were things I said last year I forgot.

  275. I said, until all of a sudden, something happened in the royal family,

  276. and then this happened and that.

  277. And people were taking the clips.

  278. So I want to take more risks.

  279. And the reason why it's important for us to take risks is

  280. the only way you grow is by taking risk.

  281. And there's oftentimes where a prophetic word doesn't come to pass

  282. for years later.

  283. But we have to cultivate an environment where people feel like

  284. they can even do it.

  285. So here's what I believe I see, okay, is I was in prayer the

  286. other night, and I saw the face of Mussolini and I saw the face

  287. of Stalin.

  288. And I said, lord, what are you showing me?

  289. And the Lord said, the same demonic infrastructure behind Mussolini

  290. and Stalin is actually behind world leaders today.

  291. And I said, well, what is the meaning of what you're showing me?

  292. And the Lord said that these.

  293. These figures, these political figures like Mussolini and like Stalin,

  294. are.

  295. It's all about changing boundaries and extending the territories

  296. of nations.

  297. So Mussolini's goal for the Kingdom of Italy was to actually

  298. reestablish the boundaries of Rome.

  299. Wow.

  300. And so Stalin had a very similar thing.

  301. So what's going to happen is I believe we will see an increase in

  302. war, but the demonic infrastructure behind the war, just

  303. like with Mussolini and Stalin, is to dramatically increase

  304. the boundaries, to actually be the old boundaries.

  305. And you're going to see that in global figures.

  306. Now, the other thing about Mussolini and Stalin is what you

  307. have is like fascism, and you have these figures.

  308. So in other words, people following a figure more than a government.

  309. And so that's going to be the hallmark of this is it's like people

  310. are going to.

  311. You're going to see figures rise up more than the government.

  312. So what are the implications of this?

  313. I believe prepare for war and more war.

  314. Prepare for boundaries.

  315. Because I know we have a global audience, especially those

  316. who watch us on boundary lines.

  317. And the way I saw it, it's like governmental lines.

  318. Beware of the boundaries over lines.

  319. And I see that.

  320. The other thing, too, though, is that usually with whatever the

  321. devil is doing, God is actually willing into the earth.

  322. And so you see Nebuchadnezzar, but you also see Daniel Meshach,

  323. Shadrach, Abednego, so you see God.

  324. I also believe you're gonna see God raising up figureheads, God

  325. raising up generals, God raising up new voices, God Raising

  326. up people with incredible influence.

  327. And so, but.

  328. But almost like those people will be trusted more than the institutions.

  329. So I believe that we're going to see an eroding of institutionalized

  330. trust.

  331. So that means we.

  332. We don't necessarily trust the church, but we trust these figures

  333. from a church.

  334. We don't trust a government, but we trust the figures over this

  335. government.

  336. And the word that I saw was destabilize.

  337. Destabilization.

  338. I see Canada increasingly, I see the Middle east, and I see the

  339. east in general increasingly destabilized.

  340. And out of that will come these figures.

  341. But I want to end on the good.

  342. On the good news that I had before I hand it back to you is at

  343. the same time that there's destabilization.

  344. I saw the word reallocation, destabilization and reallocation.

  345. And I see properties.

  346. And we're even sitting.

  347. I see properties.

  348. I see ministries getting properties.

  349. I see Christians and businesses, you know, Christian business

  350. owners getting properties.

  351. And there's like this window of time within the next 18 months

  352. where I see a reallocation of properties for the Seven Mountain

  353. Mandate, which a lot of people would say is NAR in the new Apostolic

  354. Reformation.

  355. But I believe that even that propaganda is demonic propaganda

  356. to start, because we are obviously not new Apostolic Reformation.

  357. But I do believe that the true Apostolic Reformation is what God

  358. is trying to do.

  359. Not the new, the true.

  360. Because we're going back to the beginning and it's like, what

  361. does this mean?

  362. Yes, we need Christian entrepreneurs in business that are.

  363. That are.

  364. And sometimes it'll look like Chick Fil A where it's secular with

  365. Christian music playing on the background.

  366. And sometimes it'll look like blatantly Christian.

  367. But we need Christians in business.

  368. We need Christians in the entertainment industry making films

  369. like Domino Revival.

  370. We need films about abortion.

  371. We need.

  372. You know what I'm saying?

  373. We need this.

  374. We need.

  375. We had CS Lewis and Tolkien, but where is the CS Lewis and the

  376. Tolkien of today?

  377. Like, they wrote Christian books that were appealing to secular

  378. masses and became the impetus for a great harvest.

  379. So they were in the entertainment realm.

  380. And of course, we're not in an ar, but I do believe we are going

  381. to see the true Apostolic Reformation, which is what saying,

  382. like, hey, we can't just let secular people lead secular realms.

  383. We need the Daniels, we need the Josephs to begin to rise up,

  384. to reform Babylon, to reform Egypt like Joseph.

  385. That is part of this thing that I'm seeing, and it's a reallocation.

  386. So the other thing too, is 7 days ago from the day of this recording,

  387. which we got a lot of people watching right now.

  388. I take this very seriously.

  389. I talked about a genetic mutation for a bird flu virus that

  390. was extremely concerning.

  391. And this is not a prediction, but it.

  392. Or this is not a prophecy, but it is prediction.

  393. And what I saw was kind of ominous.

  394. Little alert just sounded over our shoulder was that secular scientists

  395. are saying that we're one genetic mutation away from bird flu

  396. virus becoming human to human transmissible.

  397. And just yesterday, which, you know, as the day of this recording,

  398. California issued a state of emergency because they have patient

  399. zero.

  400. British Columbia and Canada already has one as well.

  401. And so what do I mean?

  402. Should we be afraid?

  403. Absolutely not.

  404. Psalm 91, it talks about pestilence, right?

  405. Like, we're not to fear the pestilence that stalks at midday,

  406. the arrow that flies by night.

  407. Like, we're fine.

  408. But at the same time, we need to be vigilant and we need to be

  409. prepared instead of being panicked.

  410. Because, again, this goes with the destabilization.

  411. I believe it's going to be on multiple fronts.

  412. But my great encouragement to everybody watching right now, especially

  413. the people of V1 Church, and I told everybody, I said, guys, we're

  414. in the ark.

  415. You know, we're here on Long Island.

  416. Like, God has given us this building.

  417. God has given us these opportunities.

  418. That's the good news.

  419. It's like, hey, Joseph, you're going to be distributing a seed in

  420. the time of need.

  421. You're going to have Goshen in the midst of a famine.

  422. And so God is going to give a reallocation of land, a reallocation

  423. of resources, a reallocation of finances.

  424. It's just.

  425. Don't.

  426. It's just like this.

  427. Don't be intimidated by the sound around you, but be cued into

  428. the voice of the Lord.

  429. Because just as the spirit of death was passing by, they had the

  430. blood on their doorpost.

  431. And it was like you heard the screams of people losing their firstborn,

  432. but you didn't lose yours.

  433. Wow.

  434. That's what's going to happen, I believe in 2025 is God saying,

  435. don't be intimidated by what you hear, but just know that I've

  436. always already prepared you.

  437. So that's all I have.

  438. I wanted to get that out because I wanted to cut to you and

  439. give you the final like.

  440. Cause I know you got a lot of notes as well, but let's rock and

  441. roll.

  442. Yeah.

  443. Yeah, man.

  444. Well, you know, even as you were talking, you know, we're.

  445. We're raising up hundreds of prophets at this church.

  446. And something we've been talking a lot about is, is the watchtower

  447. prophets.

  448. And I believe even what you're saying is there's a watchtower element

  449. to where you're standing on the walls and you're looking out,

  450. and it's like everyone else is behind the walls, unable to see.

  451. And it's like what the watchtower apostles do, what the

  452. watchtower prophets do, is they see the things coming first.

  453. And it's a bell that's rung.

  454. Yeah.

  455. Like, even the fact that you were talking and, like, an alarm

  456. went off, it's almost like part of being a watchtower ministry

  457. is being able to see things before anyone else, even in the kingdom

  458. sees it.

  459. But there is a level of ringing the bell.

  460. Hey, everyone, just so you know, you don't see this yet, but

  461. there's something coming.

  462. There's an element coming.

  463. The hard part in that is those on the wall get attacked the most.

  464. And so I just wanna honor you and your personal ministry, Pastor

  465. Mike.

  466. I've seen you attacked more in the last couple years than most ministers

  467. in the earth.

  468. And I believe part of the anointing that you carry is a watchtower,

  469. A watchman.

  470. A watchman on the wall to say, I will see it first.

  471. I will expose myself to the enemy, because I want to be the one

  472. that sees it first.

  473. And I may get the arrows first.

  474. I may get all of the attack first.

  475. But that's truly a shepherd's heart.

  476. It's like, that is a shepherd's heart to say, I'm willing

  477. to take attack if it means I see what's coming and I could tell

  478. the rest of the people what's coming.

  479. The word that I have, it goes directly.

  480. And I didn't tell you any of this.

  481. Yeah.

  482. We have no prior conversation.

  483. And let me just real quick.

  484. Cause I want to kick it back, because I don't think they'll know

  485. what you're like.

  486. So I have no idea what you're going to say.

  487. And unlike last year, where we had more of a roundtable, I said,

  488. let's sit down, prophet and apostle.

  489. But I got everything out on the front end because I was like,

  490. let them cook.

  491. Because I don't know what you're going to say.

  492. But I also didn't want the audience to think that there is a

  493. level of deception where we've collaborated on this.

  494. And it literally was, you seek God, I'll see God, and then we'll

  495. come together at a table in a few Moments.

  496. I'm going to invite the remainder of the Fivefold to join

  497. us.

  498. But I'm so thankful for you.

  499. And I just wanted to explicitly say right now during this

  500. broadcast, there is zero prior knowledge of what was going to be

  501. talked about.

  502. Yeah.

  503. Yeah.

  504. So even as you were talking, I was like, man, he really is a prophet.

  505. This really is.

  506. So this is what I heard.

  507. And this was also in collaboration with the prophets that

  508. we've been raising up.

  509. So you have a school of the prophets.

  510. We have the link in the description of this video so people

  511. can sign up for 2025.

  512. Because even if you're prophetic and not a prophet by title,

  513. you should be trained if you desire to be trained.

  514. And you have a school of the prophet and links in the description.

  515. But yeah, yeah.

  516. So I was asking them, not only what are you hearing for 2025, but

  517. even as we're developing and hearing from God prophetic words,

  518. we're asking them and putting them over regions of the world.

  519. Yeah.

  520. There's 20 different regions where it's like, hey, you're over

  521. Israel.

  522. Like, you're going to prophesy over this nation, over this land.

  523. But.

  524. So this is the title.

  525. And I want to read some of this because I believe.

  526. Yeah, please do.

  527. Some of this is important.

  528. Important.

  529. The wording actually matters in this.

  530. But this is what I heard.

  531. This is an era of swords and scepters.

  532. Wow.

  533. Swords and scepters.

  534. And this has everything to do with war, with battle, and with authority.

  535. Wow.

  536. So as you were saying, this is a season for war.

  537. I said, man.

  538. Pastor Mike, I can't wait to share this because this goes directly

  539. in line with what you were saying.

  540. That's crazy.

  541. So this is an era of swords and.

  542. And scepters.

  543. And some of this is.

  544. Some of this is a difficult word.

  545. Some of this is a semi rebuke, and if not rebuke, but a correction

  546. and a time and a moment to get your life right with God.

  547. Come on.

  548. And so I see two different swords, one in the hand of God and

  549. one that he's giving out to his people.

  550. This is what I see in the hand of God.

  551. And let me just read this.

  552. The Lord is splitting and destroying the idols.

  553. He is causing a decision to be made this year.

  554. Cause one month ago, I heard that this is a time of decision and

  555. transition.

  556. And this is what the Lord is saying.

  557. Will you serve me in humility and lay down all of your pride, all

  558. of your idols?

  559. Will you stop living lukewarm inside, but looking on fire from

  560. the outside.

  561. Whoo.

  562. Can I just stop there?

  563. I believe that a lot of the last five years, when we see people

  564. fall, this entire time, I believe there has been a lukewarmness

  565. inside.

  566. But on the outside, everything looks great.

  567. On the outside, everything.

  568. Wow.

  569. Like, I can't believe that happened to that person.

  570. I didn't see that coming.

  571. And the Lord, this year, he says no more.

  572. Yeah.

  573. This is the year that he's laying the sword down.

  574. Wow.

  575. He's destroying the idols.

  576. The things that have been built by man that are ungodly, unrighteous

  577. things that they have caused trauma that they have caused people

  578. to go through.

  579. The Lord says, not any longer.

  580. Wow.

  581. And so this is a season of decision.

  582. Yeah.

  583. And so if you're at home right now and you are living lukewarm,

  584. this is a warning.

  585. This is a season that the Lord is actually spitting people out of

  586. his mouth.

  587. Yeah.

  588. Like, this is a time where the Lord says, will you be completely

  589. on fire with me?

  590. Stop playing games.

  591. Stop.

  592. Stop being of mixture of living one way but then saying another.

  593. It's time for us to say, lord Jesus, I will give you everything.

  594. I will give everything to you.

  595. And the Lord is dealing with fakes.

  596. He's dealing with the unauthentic in this year.

  597. So that's the sword in God's hand.

  598. Now, let me tell you, the sword that he's giving to his people.

  599. He is placing a sword in the hands of his warriors, in the hands

  600. of the faithful, in the hands of those that place all of their

  601. trust in the name of Jesus.

  602. Not in a man, not in their own name, but in the name of Jesus.

  603. Come on.

  604. This will be used on the front lines in the spiritual warfare.

  605. Wow.

  606. He is calling the church to rise up, to remove the stick from

  607. our hands and actually replace it with a sword.

  608. Come on.

  609. I believe the spiritual warfare that's been taking place

  610. has been people with sticks.

  611. Yeah.

  612. Literally, it's been like, I'm fighting, but, man, it's like, no,

  613. Lay down the stick and allow the Lord to actually place a sword

  614. in your hand to actually, like, finally kill the attack from

  615. the enemy.

  616. So good.

  617. All right, let me go to the last part of this.

  618. I said, this is an era of swords and scepters.

  619. What is a scepter?

  620. It has everything to do with authority because you are in the

  621. presence of the king.

  622. And this is what I believe is that there is an authority that the

  623. king is giving to his people.

  624. And it's almost like I saw a picture of a scepter.

  625. Like a king holds.

  626. The only time you see a scepter is when you're actually in

  627. the presence of the king.

  628. Wow.

  629. And I saw a beckoning.

  630. I saw him saying, you may know me as savior, but it's now time to

  631. know me as king.

  632. It's like, we can't advance the kingdom of God if we don't know

  633. him as king.

  634. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  635. Many people know him as savior, as friend, as father.

  636. And it's like the Lord, in this era, he says, you will know

  637. me as king because he is releasing authority to his people.

  638. And this is what I believe he gave me.

  639. This is an era that will be marked by genuine expression, experience

  640. in the presence of the king and a real assignment from the king

  641. to go out in authority.

  642. A scepter has.

  643. Has everything to do with establishment.

  644. Wow.

  645. And this is.

  646. This is the end of this word.

  647. It's not just about building.

  648. It's the establishment of what's being built to actually have

  649. legacy.

  650. Wow.

  651. Because a lot of people can build stuff, but guess what?

  652. Buildings can be destroyed.

  653. Yeah.

  654. And it's like the Lord is.

  655. He's gonna be, I believe, showing his people.

  656. This is what you are meant to put your hand to.

  657. This is what's gonna have legacy attached to it.

  658. And I even believe us being in this building right now, this is

  659. a holy divine sign from our Savior, from our king that's saying,

  660. build here.

  661. This is a place of building.

  662. This is a place of legacy, and this is a place that the Lord is

  663. going to establish.

  664. And so the Lord, he has a scepter in his hand in this season,

  665. and he is literally knighting people.

  666. Yeah, he's knighting.

  667. It's like, okay, now it's time to actually walk in authority.

  668. Now it's actually time to walk out in the duminous power.

  669. And it's like, there.

  670. And there's going to be a fire, like a Pentecost fire that

  671. comes over people.

  672. And so that's.

  673. I have a ton more, but I'm like, I just wanted to release that.

  674. Then maybe me and you will do a lot of things.

  675. It's crazy to flow.

  676. Yeah, we'll definitely do that, for sure.

  677. But it's funny because as God.

  678. So I had 20,000 concurrent live viewers, 15,000.

  679. And it's funny because I used it for the gospel and somebody hit

  680. me up.

  681. And they said, when I watched you preach unapologetically to 20,000

  682. people online, I know you don't care about an audience.

  683. You don't care about subscribers.

  684. You care about the kingdom.

  685. You care about the gospel, and I got to see your heart on display.

  686. But there is a phrase the Holy Spirit specifically told me to ask

  687. people to say, and it was, christ is king.

  688. Wow.

  689. And it's so funny how you said that, because what I'm realizing

  690. is that the world wants a savior, but they don't want a king.

  691. Yeah, save me.

  692. I messed my life up.

  693. Save me.

  694. I made the wrong decisions.

  695. Save me.

  696. I.

  697. I need finances.

  698. No, no.

  699. But for a king, you give your finances to him.

  700. For a king, it's like, no, I'm here to protect you, King.

  701. It's almost like you take from a savior, but you give to a king.

  702. Wow.

  703. And right now, it's like God's trying to switch and say, hey, man,

  704. we've been taken for a long time.

  705. It's time to give.

  706. Now.

  707. It's time.

  708. And so that, to me, is, like, where I feel like the flip is coming.

  709. Like, give your life, give your finances, give your gift, lay

  710. it back down at his feet and say, hey, God, this is all for you.

  711. And that's why I feel like that's the switch that's happening

  712. right now from, okay, you knew him as savior, but do you know him

  713. as king?

  714. Even when the wise men showed up, they showed up to give gifts

  715. because they were saying, he's a baby, but he's the king, and he

  716. hasn't done anything yet.

  717. It's who he is.

  718. That's why we're giving these gifts.

  719. And so there's something about, like, y'all need to give now.

  720. You need to sign up now.

  721. You need to begin to say, okay, now, God, not when you give

  722. it, but because of who you are.

  723. That's the evidence of king.

  724. I'm gonna break this alabaster box before you die on the cross because

  725. you're the king.

  726. I didn't give this out.

  727. Oh, that's such a revelation on that.

  728. There's some people who are breaking alabaster boxes because

  729. he died on the cross, not realizing that she.

  730. He broke the alabaster box before he died on the cross because

  731. of who he is.

  732. So I feel like that's why, for me, when I walked in, I was like,

  733. lord, how are we going to do this?

  734. How are we going to get this building ready?

  735. And the Lord was like, you're not.

  736. They're going to do it.

  737. They're going to break their alabaster box because I'm king, because

  738. they're recognizing who I am.

  739. Wow.

  740. And that's how the kingdom's going to advance man.

  741. Can I just say something real quick?

  742. Real quick?

  743. I believe I got a revelation of even when Jesus.

  744. Jesus says, your kingdom come, your will be done, it's almost like

  745. if you don't see him as king, you cannot fulfill his will.

  746. Kingdom comes first.

  747. Yes.

  748. It's like you serve him as king first, you see him as king,

  749. which means total and absolute surrender of our wills.

  750. And I believe even the first part of that will, talking about,

  751. like, you can't live in mixture anymore.

  752. You can't live half in and half out.

  753. You can't live in one kingdom and the other.

  754. The Lord says, you are choosing my kingdom or you are choosing

  755. another one.

  756. And it's like, we cannot fulfill his will if we are not in

  757. his advancing the kingdom which is his rule and his absolute

  758. reign in our lives.

  759. So I just want to say that.

  760. Well, I'll tell you this.

  761. You know, as a church, we're starting the new year, getting the

  762. mixture out.

  763. Yes, we're starting the new year getting delivered.

  764. We're starting the new year, throwing things away.

  765. We're starting the new year purifying, sanctifying.

  766. Like, we're getting the mixture out.

  767. And as a church, and I think about the daily growth journal, we're

  768. starting January 1st.

  769. We're reading our Bible every day this year, January 1st, we're

  770. praying the mixture's gone.

  771. I am not going to spend more time on this than I do in the book.

  772. The mixture's gone.

  773. And that's what I think it was like when they were in the king's

  774. court, they said, we can't eat the king's meal.

  775. Why?

  776. Because we're in Babylon, but we're not of Babylon.

  777. We don't eat.

  778. We don't.

  779. We don't have the same diet as you.

  780. So in other words, God changed my diet in 2025, I'm done.

  781. Because the king's meat is poisoned.

  782. When it's the wrong king, it's, hey, the Babylonian king is

  783. not our king.

  784. We serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

  785. That's that king's meat.

  786. We don't live on bread alone.

  787. But every word that.

  788. That proceeds out of the mouth of God, like, our food is from our

  789. king.

  790. And there's something about, like, switching off of, like, their

  791. king's meat to our king's meat, their king's bread to our king's

  792. bread, and getting that mixture out.

  793. So daily growth book, having a literal, like, hey, I have two crews.

  794. I have a ground crew and I have a flight crew.

  795. This is my accountability in 2025, God is going to change my circle

  796. to change my level.

  797. If you were going to go to this next level with your existing

  798. friend group, it would have already happened.

  799. So guess what, Daniel, you need Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

  800. I'm going to change your circles to change your level.

  801. And I really feel like for many people, they need to sign up

  802. for their flight crew.

  803. They need to sign up for their seven mountains of influence and

  804. which one God assigned them to.

  805. They need to sign up for men's group, women's group.

  806. Why?

  807. Because change the influence and you change the impact when you,

  808. whoever is influencing you is determining your level.

  809. And so you got to get in those, those flight crews, then you

  810. got to get into a ground crew where you're saying, I'm going to

  811. actually serve.

  812. Because when he was my Savior, I wanted him to serve me, but when

  813. he's my King, I want to serve him.

  814. So you know what I would love to see at our churches?

  815. People from the medical community as front door greeters

  816. and ushers.

  817. I would like to see lawyers being the ones putting you in your

  818. seat and saying, hey, come over here, let me.

  819. You know what I'd like to see?

  820. I'd like to see six figure plus earning entrepreneurs being

  821. the ones working in kids.

  822. Because that's the influence on our king.

  823. Because they're saying, hey, I'm the ground crew.

  824. I signed up to serve a king, not to be served just by a Savior.

  825. What can I do to build this thing?

  826. And there's something about that, Josh, that once that comes

  827. into alignment, the Bible says, seek first the kingdom.

  828. Yes.

  829. And then.

  830. Ooh, it doesn't say seek first a position at church.

  831. Yeah.

  832. Seek first a kingdom which requires submitting to the king.

  833. Yes.

  834. Once you seek the kingdom first, which means you've accepted

  835. the king, all those other things, it'll be added, which means

  836. it's bonus.

  837. Wow.

  838. So I feel like God's reprioritizing people watching right

  839. now.

  840. And let me know in the comment section if this is you being reprioritized,

  841. because I know I am as well.

  842. But I want to bring in the Fivefold right now because we have

  843. leaders from different campuses, different regions of the

  844. US that serve as the Fivefold, which obviously is in the book of

  845. Ephesians.

  846. And it talks about how God.

  847. It says God gave through Christ Jesus himself, the prophets,

  848. apostles, preachers, teachers and evangelists.

  849. In other words, there's the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are

  850. given to believers as the Holy Spirit administrates But then there

  851. are people that are being given as gifts from Jesus.

  852. So, yes, we desire the gifts of the Spirit, but as a church, can

  853. we acknowledge the people that are the gift?

  854. Yes, because it says, hey, Christ himself has given to you.

  855. Prophets and apostles and pastors and teachers and evangelists.

  856. In other words, yes, we can all receive the gifts of the Spirit,

  857. but can we receive people as gifts from Jesus according to Ephesians?

  858. So can we do that?

  859. Yes.

  860. All right, guys.

  861. Can we.

  862. Can we all.

  863. Come on.

  864. We got.

  865. Now, this is just some of them because the table is only so big

  866. in the middle of the gymnasium of our new building.

  867. But let's welcome them as they come.

  868. Let's welcome them in the chat right now and just, you know, give

  869. them double honor for being willing to be the five hole coming.

  870. You can come up close, about to go out for barbecue after this.

  871. And I can tell you right now, as it draws clear, nearer and nearer,

  872. I get hungrier and hungrier.

  873. But let me just do quick intros.

  874. So we've got Evan Wilson, who for all intents and purposes, is

  875. functioning in an evangelistic gift.

  876. And his movie the Domino Revival reached, I mean, so many

  877. people, which, by the way, in January, goes to digital distribution.

  878. January 7th.

  879. January 7th.

  880. Yes.

  881. Wow.

  882. Talk about starting the new year 2000.

  883. Theaters across the US just filled with people, which is.

  884. That is not a church.

  885. You filled theaters and I filled churches.

  886. Rain and rain.

  887. So it's like you're an evangelist, an apostolic evangelist,

  888. because God allowed you to fill 2,000 theaters.

  889. And then, of course, you have social media and you're raising up

  890. the creator Academy, which I think we should talk about briefly.

  891. Talk about what you do with that.

  892. Yes.

  893. So we're raising up right now hundreds of digital evangelists in

  894. this.

  895. In this modern world.

  896. Apostolic evangelist.

  897. Wow.

  898. Come on.

  899. And these people are from every walk.

  900. Of life, Every walk of life, every season of life, every generation.

  901. We have multiple nations represented people reaching tens

  902. of thousands, even millions of people from the gospel, starting

  903. from zero and going viral, reaching people with a message of

  904. Jesus.

  905. So YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, every platform.

  906. So we have a link in the description for people to sign up

  907. this year to get trained to be digital evangelists.

  908. Thank you for leading them so well.

  909. And I'll just do some quick introductions here as we kind of

  910. go around, but we got Dean and Sandra and I want to talk.

  911. The reason why I'm bringing them up is because I want to talk

  912. about gift mixing, because they function in what I believe is

  913. like an apostolic pastoral role.

  914. And the story that I always tell is the very first time I did

  915. a large event in London, I was standing here, and all of a sudden

  916. all these people came running towards me.

  917. And I said, hey, I'm here, Papa Siggs.

  918. And then they all ran around me.

  919. And I looked behind me, and it was Dean and Sandra.

  920. And they said, dean, Sandra.

  921. But that was because you're shepherding the nations, which is

  922. an apostolic function as well.

  923. And so you guys are functioning in that.

  924. And so sometimes you see this blending that happens.

  925. Obviously, you're.

  926. Evan is our global online campus pastor, but he's also functioning

  927. as an evangelistic apostolic, because these things blend.

  928. So Dean and Sandra, I just want to welcome you guys and honor

  929. you as founding members of V1 Church as well.

  930. Thank you.

  931. I just want to say thank you, Apostle Michael, for having us here

  932. and being a part of this.

  933. We're just so blessed to be here and be involved with what V1

  934. does and just doing what you called us to do, because going to

  935. London was just an amazing event.

  936. And I just really want to thank you again.

  937. Yes.

  938. I honor you, son, and I love you so much.

  939. But, you know, Caleb, he said, At 80 years old, give me that mountain.

  940. And so I love what Psalms says, only ask.

  941. God said, only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,

  942. the whole earth as your possession.

  943. And I remember having many prophet talks in our living room,

  944. Apostle Michael.

  945. And we would quote this scripture over, we're going to the

  946. nations.

  947. We would prophesy, we're going to the nations.

  948. And so when we go to the nations and see the people in London,

  949. uk, it's like a fulfillment of what God said then.

  950. And what he's going to do now.

  951. Is over the faithful, those that were faithful.

  952. Yeah.

  953. And, you know, I like how it says, if you'll only ask, you have

  954. not, because you ask not.

  955. And I believe that what Caleb was doing was saying, I'm asking

  956. for that mountain you gave us, the promised land.

  957. But I want more.

  958. At 80 years old, I want more than what God did when I was 40.

  959. And, you know, we represent the generation.

  960. And as you guys continue to, like, be pillars of the church, you're

  961. saying, hey, God gave us six locations.

  962. We want more.

  963. God gave us a bill, Give me my mountain.

  964. I want more God.

  965. And there's something about that, but it's not.

  966. Caleb didn't ask for more for his name's sake.

  967. But what he was saying is, this is for our children and our

  968. children's children.

  969. You Know what I see in this room we're in right now?

  970. I see children.

  971. I see a.

  972. I see a Christian school on Long island.

  973. And it's like, so we're not asking for the mountain for us.

  974. Caleb was saying, At 80 years old, God, give me that mountain for

  975. our children and our children's children.

  976. It's about legacy.

  977. Mic drop.

  978. Yeah, it's about legacy.

  979. It's about legacy.

  980. Most people our age, they want to retire and then go live in the

  981. sun.

  982. Get out of here with that junk.

  983. We got work to do.

  984. We got more territory to take.

  985. There's more souls that need to be saved.

  986. Come on, now.

  987. It's time to get working for the Lord.

  988. Well, you guys have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

  989. And you talk about.

  990. You know how you talked about King, it's like when he's your savior,

  991. it's like, oh, Lord, you've given us motorcycles and a house

  992. and a retirement, but when he's your king, Lord, could you be

  993. asking me to give you all my motorcycles?

  994. Could you be asking me to give you my house?

  995. Could you be asked?

  996. Could you.

  997. I mean, even right now, let's be honest, it's cold in this room.

  998. We hadn't even turned the heat on yet.

  999. We're freezing.

  1000. I can hear this puddle forming over my.

  1001. You know, I'm like, lord, what did we do?

  1002. You know?

  1003. But I know it's like, no, Lord, because at every level, God

  1004. requires another.

  1005. So it's just like, at 40, let's take the promised land.

  1006. But Caleb said, but I gotta be willing at 80 to do it again.

  1007. I remember Evan moving to, you know, New York, living in missionary

  1008. housing, and I felt so bad for him.

  1009. And, yeah, I bought him all these rat traps.

  1010. And, you know, he sold.

  1011. You sold your bass equipment.

  1012. You know, literally his.

  1013. His cabinet for your bass and your guitar and all that.

  1014. And I remember just being grieved over that.

  1015. And the Lord says, no, no, like, you don't need to protect Evan

  1016. from generosity.

  1017. Generosity.

  1018. And there's.

  1019. There's a lot of pastors that be afraid to ask for the nations,

  1020. to be afraid to ask people to sow, to get the roof fixed, to do

  1021. this and this.

  1022. And I remember early on, the Lord said, don't.

  1023. You don't need to protect Evan from generosity.

  1024. I'm marking him as a man, and I'm going to give him back everything

  1025. he gave me.

  1026. And some just let him go on that journey.

  1027. And then I came back, and I'll never forget, you trained that mouse.

  1028. There's a mouse he Couldn't.

  1029. And he literally trained it.

  1030. Oh, there was one.

  1031. There's a sermon in that.

  1032. There's a sermon in that.

  1033. Train your mouse.

  1034. Train the mouse.

  1035. You can't kill.

  1036. Come on, somebody.

  1037. Yeah, come on.

  1038. Amen.

  1039. And, you know, that's the thing, you know, apostles make space

  1040. for that.

  1041. And I think us all sitting at this table, you see the wisdom in

  1042. how God set this up, you know, And I think speaking from an evangelistic

  1043. standpoint, as functioning in a evangelistic role, I think there's

  1044. a lot of people that aren't functioning as an evangelist who

  1045. are called to be an evangelist, because there hasn't

  1046. been an apostle to widen the field of view of what evangelism

  1047. truly is.

  1048. I think there's a lot of people not functioning as evangelists

  1049. because they've relegated it to the soapbox street corner preachers

  1050. and like, oh, I'm not.

  1051. That's not me.

  1052. I'm not called to do that.

  1053. But we need to evangelize with movies.

  1054. We need to evangelize with social media.

  1055. We need to really, I think, reassess as the body of Christ in

  1056. this new era, what is it to flow in the evangelistic.

  1057. But what I'm so grateful to you, apostle, is that you made space

  1058. for that and you revealed because, you know, I wouldn't have

  1059. called myself an evangelist, but you actually kind of revealed

  1060. that, like, no, all these things that you're functioning in,

  1061. that's evangelistic.

  1062. And so I think we probably all have a similar story where you saw

  1063. that in us and you made space for that.

  1064. And there's so much room here.

  1065. Well, and I thank you so much for that.

  1066. I want to acknowledge pastors Danny and Execa.

  1067. And before I do, though, let me just say there's many that are

  1068. not at this table, but I can feel their presence in the spirit.

  1069. Can you feel it?

  1070. Thinking about Randall and Mary, you know, I'll never forget

  1071. Randall stepped up on the stage in New Jersey during an evening

  1072. service.

  1073. And we were doing preview services.

  1074. There was no campus, no nothing.

  1075. And he got up on stage, and all of a sudden, Randall just began

  1076. to prophesy.

  1077. And I mean, the oil just went.

  1078. And I was standing behind him, and it was like he didn't stutter,

  1079. didn't stammer.

  1080. I mean, it was like he was just in his flow.

  1081. And what I now realize was he stepped into the grace space, and

  1082. it was like with you in the movie.

  1083. It's like when we went to Hollywood and they couldn't.

  1084. Couldn't cut the film and they didn't know.

  1085. And you said, mike, I know that I've never done a film before,

  1086. but could I please.

  1087. And then that first cut of the film, it was like you stepped into

  1088. a gray space.

  1089. You know, it's like each one of you guys, it's like pioneering

  1090. the.

  1091. With the Internet, you know, it was like, oh, no, we got it.

  1092. We're on zoom.

  1093. And then now you're leading hundreds through deliverance every

  1094. single month, and they're getting free from the nations.

  1095. And you're like, no, I got it.

  1096. It's like you stepped into your gray space.

  1097. So, like Randall and Mary being future campus pastors of New

  1098. Jersey.

  1099. But it was like, I saw it in the preview service.

  1100. And so, like with Danny and Execa, what I'm realizing more and

  1101. more about you, because when I look at this building, this building

  1102. looks like the United nations from the outside.

  1103. I mean, it's not a normal.

  1104. You know what I mean?

  1105. To the Long Islanders, who don't even know what church could

  1106. be, they're gonna be like, so you're telling me that's a church,

  1107. you know?

  1108. Cause there's no stained glass windows.

  1109. There's no.

  1110. I mean, this thing looks like a state of the art facility from

  1111. the outside.

  1112. Like a government.

  1113. It looks governmental, which is crazy.

  1114. But you guys carry, I believe, pastoral ability for a hub because

  1115. there's an interchange.

  1116. And I want to get this on film.

  1117. But when I was upstairs just plotting out how we would utilize

  1118. this space, I could hear the sound of the nations.

  1119. And the Lord says, I will bring the nations to this space.

  1120. This will be a nexus.

  1121. This will be a convergence place.

  1122. This will be an interchange.

  1123. And I could hear their voices in the spirit.

  1124. And it's just like with Pastor Eddie and Jocelyn.

  1125. I'll never forget when Eddie and I were praying in the city to

  1126. birth the city campus, I, all of a sudden, I got surrounded by

  1127. these voices in the spirit realm.

  1128. And I believe it was like a visceral experience, like a vision,

  1129. because it wasn't literal, it was more metaphorical.

  1130. I could hear all these people saying, thank you, thank you, thank

  1131. you, thank you.

  1132. 180 degrees.

  1133. I'm like, I could hear thank you.

  1134. Then 360 degrees.

  1135. Thank you, thank you.

  1136. I could hear their voices.

  1137. And it was like the Lord was affirming.

  1138. When you get a campus into the boroughs, you will know that it was

  1139. me because you'll hear their voices.

  1140. And it was crazy because we launched Queens, Pastor Eddie and

  1141. I, Pastor Execa, or Jocelyn, we got the city campus.

  1142. Up off the ground.

  1143. And then all of a sudden, there was this one Sunday where we

  1144. were doing our loadout huddle, and I was surrounded.

  1145. And all of a sudden they started saying, thank you.

  1146. Thank you, Pastor Mike.

  1147. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  1148. And I was like, whoa.

  1149. Like this.

  1150. When this whole place was empty, I heard this.

  1151. This is that moment.

  1152. And of course, Brooklyn is thriving now.

  1153. Brooklyn launched New Jersey.

  1154. Brooklyn launched Manhattan, which is also thriving.

  1155. But I feel like for y'all as well, there's this hub.

  1156. And so what is God showing you as teachers and pastors and apostolic

  1157. pastors of a hub?

  1158. Well, this whole thing has been a learning experience for us,

  1159. but we appreciate what you have done for us.

  1160. We're learning from you.

  1161. I think the calling on your life of being an apostle, I don't

  1162. think we would be pastors without having an apostolic voice

  1163. over us.

  1164. So I think the same goes down to the whole church, and it goes

  1165. down to the whole nation.

  1166. Because as you pastor us being an apostle, calling us out, we also

  1167. call out other people.

  1168. And that's how we, like, spike out to the nations.

  1169. You know, the crazy and wild thing about us is that we're not

  1170. just one race in the church.

  1171. And actually the pastors are from different parts of the world.

  1172. You know, we are Spanish, South America, Puerto Rico, Caribbean.

  1173. You know, so does Pastor Jocelyn and.

  1174. Yeah.

  1175. And Pastor Randall.

  1176. You know, we're people.

  1177. We are a diverse church.

  1178. So I think being this building, being like the United nations

  1179. and being in New York, which is the capital of the world, you

  1180. know, I just think that we are a global voice of the gospel to all

  1181. the nations, and we're going to nations.

  1182. And I think that this is a hub to go out to the nations.

  1183. And that's what I see.

  1184. Yeah.

  1185. And I think that's possible because we have the fivefold.

  1186. Yeah, that's because if we don't have the five fold, then a

  1187. pastor will want to do a little bit of everything, and then

  1188. you do nothing.

  1189. Wow.

  1190. An evangelist will want to do a little bit of something, and they

  1191. will just accomplish a little bit where they are, but nothing else.

  1192. It's the same thing with a prophet.

  1193. You're missing when you have all those offices installed and properly

  1194. used.

  1195. You know, that's when everything functions and clicks like

  1196. an apostle.

  1197. Like, you have all the pieces, but if you don't, if there's not

  1198. someone, if the apostles is not there, if the prophet is not

  1199. there, if the pastors are not there, if the evangelist is not there,

  1200. if the teacher is not there.

  1201. And not only a person, but also, like, the offices and the systems

  1202. are not in place.

  1203. Like, nothing clicks, nothing works.

  1204. And if there's only, like, let's say if there's only pastors

  1205. in there, it just won't work.

  1206. And then the pastor will want to do whatever the pastor thinks

  1207. is right.

  1208. And they don't have the vision as the prophet or as the apostle.

  1209. So I think we are stepping into something that we haven't seen,

  1210. at least here in Long island, we haven't seen New York.

  1211. I come from another nation, from the other side of the world,

  1212. and you see stuff like that, but I don't think you have seen it

  1213. in here.

  1214. And I think when, you know, there's a saying in Italian that

  1215. it says the fish rots from the head to the tail.

  1216. So I think that since we are in the center of the world, it's

  1217. going to start here.

  1218. If it happened in other places, yeah, great.

  1219. It happened in other places, but it's never going to stick as

  1220. sticks coming from the head.

  1221. You know, it starts in the capital city, you know.

  1222. Well, you're flowing.

  1223. Well, go ahead.

  1224. Even if it in the suburbs, you know, we are in the suburbs of New

  1225. York City, but, like, the city is where everything happens.

  1226. So the fact that we are in New York and it's gonna flow from here.

  1227. Yeah, we're gonna go out to a nation.

  1228. I think that this is going to be unstoppable because not our movement.

  1229. Yeah, it's not V1 church movement, but it's a movement of

  1230. the kingdom.

  1231. That's it.

  1232. It's a movement of God.

  1233. And I think we have been humble enough to say, hey, it's not

  1234. nothing I did, certainly nothing I did.

  1235. But I think that as having an apostle, having a prophet, evangelists,

  1236. teachers, pastors that say it's about the king.

  1237. It's so funny you brought up Italian, because now you're blowing

  1238. my mind.

  1239. So in 2025, it's a Sabbath year for me in terms of I'm not preaching

  1240. anywhere in the world.

  1241. But there are two assignments remaining that go into our next film

  1242. that we're working on, and one of them is Singapore, which we're

  1243. praying that I get approved because they know I'm a wild man,

  1244. and it could be difficult to be approved to preach there because

  1245. you need a permit.

  1246. So I'm going through that process now.

  1247. And then the other one is Italy, and I got asked to preach

  1248. at the largest youth event in the entire nation.

  1249. And the next film that we're working on which is dominant revival.

  1250. Part two is essentially revival is family and how God brings

  1251. revival in family and in the generations.

  1252. And obviously my family on my dad's side being from Sicily.

  1253. So of course, this event that I got asked to preach at is in Sicily

  1254. and thousands of teenagers come from all over the country.

  1255. Well, this ministry that is facilitating it is the largest, most

  1256. successful spirit filled ministry in all of Italy.

  1257. And the way they talk about their leader, their founder is they

  1258. call him apostle.

  1259. And just like you said, it's like, it's very normal.

  1260. Nobody thinks it's weird, but that's normal because they understand

  1261. that's his role.

  1262. He breaks all the regions of the, of Italy, he establishes churches

  1263. and he, you know, oversees the eldership, which are the pastors.

  1264. And it was just so funny because hearing them talk about it

  1265. from Italy was like, yeah, this is normal.

  1266. So I think what we're doing.

  1267. And that's why I said, like, it's not the new Apostolic Reformation,

  1268. it's the true Apostolic Reformation, which simply means,

  1269. when did it become normal to only have pastors biblically?

  1270. When did that happen?

  1271. And even in the Catholic Church, they have a term called apostolic

  1272. succession, and they believe that the Pope is actually in the

  1273. lineage of Peter.

  1274. So even the Catholic Church has no problem with the five fold

  1275. in that regard.

  1276. It's just the evangelicals.

  1277. So to your point, I believe, yes, we've seen it in Argentina,

  1278. yes, we've seen it in Italy, yes, we've seen it in parts of Africa.

  1279. But the fivefold is being installed in America and God is installing

  1280. it at the gate.

  1281. And even Long island is the gate because it's a port and it comes

  1282. in.

  1283. And so I really believe that the fivefold.

  1284. And because like you said, a pastor will only make pastoral decisions,

  1285. but then a prophet will be like, I see this.

  1286. But then the apostle will say, okay, Josh, but what are we building?

  1287. Right?

  1288. But then sometimes if you, you know, so we need each other, then

  1289. it's like, okay, we're, we're seeing it, we're building it, we're

  1290. evangelizing, but who's teaching these people?

  1291. Because they're all biblically illiterate and they're all sleeping

  1292. with each other and fornicating and all this.

  1293. And it's like, who's going to actually teach them?

  1294. Okay, we need the teacher, you know, so it's like, but when it,

  1295. it all comes together, there's health.

  1296. Come on.

  1297. Just what you're saying, like, I'm getting the picture of like us

  1298. sitting on the table.

  1299. Yeah, and we actually.

  1300. And it's strange that I'm sitting right across from the head

  1301. of the table.

  1302. And we as a church in this last era, I would say we removed

  1303. the head of the table and we cannot function without the head

  1304. of the table.

  1305. And we said, we're going to remove the apostle and we're going

  1306. to remove the teacher, because now we want the power as the other

  1307. three offices speak.

  1308. And then the problem is that we can function properly in our offices

  1309. when the other two offices are not in their place.

  1310. See, this is why God has entrusted you with being an apostolic

  1311. pastor over the hub, because you can see the engine from the pistons,

  1312. you can see the engine from the spark plugs.

  1313. And that's really what happens is there's.

  1314. It's just like this space.

  1315. We were talking about how, you know, when you come in, it's like

  1316. sometimes you can pull on your own end of the rope.

  1317. You know, I want creative team to be here, I want worship to be

  1318. here.

  1319. But it takes a special person to say, wait a second, how does this

  1320. all come together to make an engine?

  1321. Because in the empathy that we build, where it's like, wait a second,

  1322. everybody, let's listen to Josh.

  1323. What's he seeing?

  1324. Wait a second, let's listen to Evan.

  1325. Because we're not expanding the kingdom.

  1326. We need to reach new.

  1327. And they're not coming to our church.

  1328. We gotta get them in the movie theaters.

  1329. We got them.

  1330. Wait a second, we gotta listen to the pastors.

  1331. Because we have people whose marriages are falling apart.

  1332. They're saved, but they're not sanctified.

  1333. And I think what we've been working on together is building an

  1334. engine.

  1335. And this is the word that the Lord gave me when we were in Willow

  1336. Creek.

  1337. So the day two of the Breakers Conference, we actually were granted

  1338. an unprecedented opportunity to be in one of the largest churches

  1339. in America, Willow Creek, which was the origin of the seeker

  1340. sensitive movement.

  1341. So literally where the fivefold died in America is the soil

  1342. of that church.

  1343. And I say that, you know, in all seriousness because they basically

  1344. said, we're going to be evangelists and we're going to be

  1345. teachers and preachers and shepherds, but we're not.

  1346. There is no apostolic and there is no prophetic, you know,

  1347. so ironically, which.

  1348. Those are the two gifts that launched the church.

  1349. So you see how they were the first ones to be removed from the

  1350. church.

  1351. And so.

  1352. But the thing I honor about Willow Creek in this era is when

  1353. they, when we asked them, can we use their building realistically,

  1354. they should have said no, but they said, wait a second.

  1355. We're going to honor the apostolic and we're going to honor

  1356. the prophetic.

  1357. And I didn't know that, but they had staff members praying and

  1358. fasting that they would experience revival in their building.

  1359. And right there in that building where that seeker sensitive

  1360. movement started.

  1361. And by the way, Long island, the only significant churches on

  1362. Long island for the last 20 to 30 years are seeker sensitive.

  1363. What does that mean?

  1364. We're not speaking in tongues on the microphone.

  1365. We're not casting out demons publicly.

  1366. We're not.

  1367. That's seeker sensitive.

  1368. We're going to make you comfortable.

  1369. We're never going to go over 70, 80 minutes of a service.

  1370. Let's keep it short.

  1371. How comfortable can we make people?

  1372. So we're coming here saying, how uncomfortable can we make them?

  1373. Because that's where the deliverance happens.

  1374. That's where the freedom happens.

  1375. That's where the growth happens.

  1376. How uncomfortable?

  1377. And then, guess what?

  1378. You'll feel the comfort of being uncomfortable.

  1379. In other words, yay, you'll actually be free.

  1380. Right?

  1381. Instead of just highly caffeinated and sleepy.

  1382. So could.

  1383. So here's my point.

  1384. When we were at Willow Creek for day two of breakers and I preached

  1385. Joel 2 and Acts 2 and man, hundreds upon hundreds of people

  1386. received the gift of tongues.

  1387. Hundreds and hundreds of people received various gifts of

  1388. prophecy or whatever.

  1389. I believed it was the sign of the last will be first, and the first

  1390. will be last.

  1391. And so I even believe from here on Long island, this church

  1392. represents a sign of the last.

  1393. Last will be first and the first will be last.

  1394. And I.

  1395. And.

  1396. But I want to honor the other churches that exist here.

  1397. But I believe that we are going to create a holy jealousy when

  1398. they see what revival, sustainable revival looks like.

  1399. Because we also believe that God is not a God of disorder, but

  1400. he is a God of order.

  1401. But it's order within the fivefold.

  1402. And that's why you inspired me.

  1403. It's all of it coming together to say like, no, no, no, we're not

  1404. crazy either, but.

  1405. So this is what I was gonna say.

  1406. Fire in your living room kills you.

  1407. Fire in the fireplace keeps you warm.

  1408. When you take fire out of context, it's destructive.

  1409. But when you put fire in the right context, it's protective.

  1410. And so what we've been doing is we've been building the infrastructure

  1411. for holy fire to say, no, no, the fire of the.

  1412. Of Pinnacle Pentecostalism could be destructive.

  1413. But we have teachers, we have prophets, we have evangelists.

  1414. Like, no, no, like yeah.

  1415. Yes.

  1416. We're building a fire, but we're building it, or another way

  1417. of saying it, bringing it back to the picture of the engine is an

  1418. engine is a controlled explosion.

  1419. So an explosion without an engine kills people, but an explosion

  1420. in an engine propels the car forward.

  1421. So we're building this thing together to say, no, no, we need

  1422. explosions, but we it controlled explosion within the engine

  1423. of the fivefold.

  1424. So execa.

  1425. I'd love to hear from you because God has used you even in

  1426. your past to administrate moves and to administrate.

  1427. And God is bringing you now into this season, and you're working

  1428. within V1 college, you're working with Long Island.

  1429. There's a big vision gift on your life to administrate.

  1430. And you're only stepping into the beginnings of this next season.

  1431. And it's a big, big vision.

  1432. And God's given you a lot of grace.

  1433. So what do you see for everybody watching?

  1434. Well, first, I want to thank you, Apostle.

  1435. I don't know if you knew this, but since I was young and I.

  1436. And I grew up in church, born and raised in church, and born and

  1437. raised in the island and went to a few churches in Long island,

  1438. when there was a prophetic word over my life of being a pastor,

  1439. I would look them in the eyes and say no.

  1440. And it's because I saw a lot of things behind the scenes were

  1441. of being hurt by pastors.

  1442. But Apostle, you called us out, Danny and I, and I feel safe.

  1443. And that's what I want people to know, that this is a safe place.

  1444. Because I've been to churches and I didn't feel safe.

  1445. Which is why when there was a prophetic word given to me, I would

  1446. just look them in the eyes and say no and walk away.

  1447. And we all know Apostle has shared the story of how I felt like

  1448. it was Jonah, where I was, like, running away from it.

  1449. And what I see now is if this is you and if this speaks to you,

  1450. is that in a new space, in a new venue, a harvest of souls coming

  1451. in from all places, broken, hurt, in pain.

  1452. And this is a safe place.

  1453. This is going to be a place of refuge.

  1454. And I see that when they come into this building, there's going

  1455. to be miracles happening, restoration happening, healing happening

  1456. in the name of Jesus.

  1457. And that's going to happen, and that's going to cause revival

  1458. to pour out into, outside of this building, all around us.

  1459. And as soon as they come in through that door, not one sheep

  1460. is going to be lost because we're in a safe place.

  1461. Apostle, the way you do church, I've never seen.

  1462. And I've been part of many administrations.

  1463. For 12 years, I worked as a.

  1464. I did so many things.

  1465. And you also showed me how to serve in a healthy way, how to, like,

  1466. prioritize in a healthy way, which in all the places that I've

  1467. served, I never learned that.

  1468. But being under your leadership, you showed me that.

  1469. That serving the Lord and having so much joy in serving and

  1470. seeing the fruit of our labor.

  1471. Wow.

  1472. And that's what's happening.

  1473. So I think when you say the grace of administration, that's.

  1474. I think it's because I've been under your leadership, and I've even

  1475. said it many times when, you know, you're, like, teaching us and

  1476. showing us.

  1477. And I'm taking notes.

  1478. I've said that to, like, people in the outside community,

  1479. and now they're taking notes.

  1480. Literally, they know they're taking notes from an apostle, you

  1481. know, like, so it's amazing to just now be healthy and finally say

  1482. yes.

  1483. I can say yes.

  1484. I could keep saying yes.

  1485. And I'm never going to be a Jonah again, where I'm saying no.

  1486. Like, no excuses from there, because I was the queen of excuses.

  1487. I could, like, I'm telling you, I will come up with any excuse,

  1488. but no more excuses.

  1489. So I see a harvest of souls now that we have it built in.

  1490. I see revival.

  1491. I see healing.

  1492. I see restoration.

  1493. And like we all have been saying, all ages, all backgrounds,

  1494. all cultures, this is going to reflect what the kingdom is.

  1495. Mm, man.

  1496. While you're talking, I'm just, like, looking around, just

  1497. thinking, like, I can't believe we did it.

  1498. I can't believe we got here.

  1499. And it's like the fact that we got here is the sign that we're going

  1500. to go all the way.

  1501. And I kept getting visions of, like, this lobby area and just people

  1502. being like, I don't have to leave now.

  1503. You might have to lock up, but you don't have to leave.

  1504. And it's like, we've never really had that.

  1505. And I think when I think about family, it's like, you know, sometimes

  1506. when you're the product of a divorce, you get visitation rights,

  1507. but, like, we're going to exchange visitation for inhabitation,

  1508. where it's like, this is the habitation of the Lord, like, we

  1509. don't have to leave.

  1510. You might have to lock up, but you don't have to leave.

  1511. And I feel something on that, you know?

  1512. And it's like thinking about you you know, having Easton.

  1513. And by the way, Easton's already preaching.

  1514. He don't know what he's saying yet, but the gift's flowing.

  1515. He's just.

  1516. Every video I see, he's like.

  1517. And I'm like, I don't know what he's prophesying, but it's working.

  1518. Keep going, son.

  1519. But it's like to think about that, you know?

  1520. And our girls are best friends.

  1521. And I look at them, and they're like little women now, you

  1522. know, and they have their own little world.

  1523. And it's like, you are.

  1524. So.

  1525. The mother says, I have so much pain.

  1526. I've seen all the administrations.

  1527. I've seen the behind the scenes.

  1528. But then your daughter's like, yeah, I don't know about that.

  1529. All I know is I just remember us at Free Women Collective.

  1530. I remember me and Everly in the back.

  1531. It's like, what they know is so different.

  1532. It's like we're the generation that says, do you remember the wilderness?

  1533. And then some of us say, do you remember Egypt?

  1534. Egypt was worse than the wilderness.

  1535. And then the next generation says, yeah, but do you remember we

  1536. had to kill all those giants?

  1537. But then the next generation is like, what wilderness?

  1538. What slavery and what giants?

  1539. Like, that's the next generation.

  1540. Like, your son's like, what are you talking about?

  1541. I have a pet hamster.

  1542. I don't know about rats, you know, but that's why we do this,

  1543. because they'll never know.

  1544. A stone of remembrance.

  1545. Yeah, that's what this is.

  1546. It's a remembrance.

  1547. And I want to bring it all back.

  1548. And I want to honor Dean.

  1549. And the reason why I want to honor Dean is because, you know,

  1550. really at the head of the table, at the beginning, really was

  1551. Dean.

  1552. Because when Dean came into the picture, I was an orphan.

  1553. I was not an apostle.

  1554. I was an orphan.

  1555. And he's not my biological father.

  1556. And yet we were at a steakhouse, and he sat me down in

  1557. front of everybody at a table just like this.

  1558. And he said, the inheritance from my life right now, I'm choosing

  1559. to pass it to you, and you are my son.

  1560. And he handed that and broke something off of me that enabled

  1561. me to become what I.

  1562. What I am today.

  1563. And so I honor you.

  1564. And, you know, it's like, anybody can get up and flash people

  1565. with these words or whatever, but who's passing inheritances?

  1566. That's the true father.

  1567. That's the true one.

  1568. And I.

  1569. I feel like for us, it's like, even with these churches, a lot of

  1570. churches are having services, but they're not having inheritances.

  1571. So it's like, that is what we're fighting for.

  1572. And I learned that from you and you.

  1573. And so I just want to thank you and honor you and you.

  1574. You know, it's funny because Execa says, I'm not going to be.

  1575. She'll look at a prophet.

  1576. You ain't telling me I'm no pastor, you know, but it's like,

  1577. that was Dean.

  1578. I'm not going to Long Island.

  1579. I ain't gonna.

  1580. You know, listen, I'm going to Florida.

  1581. I'm going here.

  1582. I'm going there.

  1583. But then he said, nevertheless.

  1584. And this goes full circle now as we close, because we're coming

  1585. to an end now.

  1586. And I wanted to bring it full circle because, you know, you just

  1587. boldly ask people to surrender.

  1588. And I think sometimes when you see pastors, everybody watching thinks,

  1589. oh, we all want to do this, you know, it's like, no.

  1590. It's literally the opposite.

  1591. No, God, please.

  1592. Please, Lord, let me go to Florida.

  1593. Lord.

  1594. Harvey's sitting there watching him for right now.

  1595. I'm so mad at you, bro.

  1596. Did you ever complain to me, right?

  1597. But it's like.

  1598. It's like.

  1599. But no, you know, Lord, please let me go to.

  1600. No, Lord, please let me work this job and get this and all the

  1601. benefits on the Lord's like, pick up the cross, walk and just.

  1602. Let's walk now.

  1603. It's time.

  1604. Pick it up.

  1605. No, Lord, please.

  1606. But I will tell you this.

  1607. It's so much better his way.

  1608. It's so much better his way.

  1609. And now that we've gone on this journey, I wouldn't trade it.

  1610. I would.

  1611. You know, a lot of people, they lay up in their bed because

  1612. we're all going to have that moment when we lay, we put our feet

  1613. up and we're breathing our last breath.

  1614. And all those thoughts.

  1615. I will tell you this.

  1616. I don't have no regrets, and I wouldn't change it.

  1617. And when we signed for this building, you know what I said?

  1618. It was worth the fight.

  1619. It was worth the fight.

  1620. Oh, those Long Islanders annoyed me so much, I wanted to leave

  1621. them, abandon them, these suckers.

  1622. That's the nicest word I can say on film.

  1623. But the Lord says, mike, they're wounded.

  1624. Don't give up on them.

  1625. The Long Islanders are an exceedingly great army.

  1626. They just.

  1627. They're dry bones.

  1628. Keep prophesying those bones, son.

  1629. Don't give up on them.

  1630. You know, and then the New Yorkers, you know, New York, you

  1631. don't know New York.

  1632. City, who cares?

  1633. You know, I'd be so mad.

  1634. But each year as it goes, you know, same thing with Indiana, same

  1635. thing with South Florida.

  1636. This is to Harvey and Jess.

  1637. You know, they're saying, I wish I was on Long Island.

  1638. We're saying, we're.

  1639. We're swearing for.

  1640. We should do a program where we swap, you know?

  1641. You know what I mean?

  1642. Come out here and you experience it.

  1643. My point is, it's when we commit fully, then the Lord takes

  1644. us on that journey.

  1645. We say, I wouldn't have done it any other way.

  1646. So here's what I want to do.

  1647. And then I'm going to ask Papa Dean to close us out and close us

  1648. out in prayer.

  1649. I'm not into building audiences.

  1650. Anybody can go viral.

  1651. Anybody can, you know, but what I'm into is family.

  1652. And that's what this is.

  1653. This is family.

  1654. This is true spiritual family.

  1655. And it was worth the fight.

  1656. And I cherish these relationships.

  1657. And I believe that as you've been watching this, the Lord is showing

  1658. you something.

  1659. And so here's what I want you to do.

  1660. In the description of the video.

  1661. Remember in the beginning, I asked you to take your phone out

  1662. and comment and just turn the volume down.

  1663. It's because this is supposed to be interactive, so hopefully you

  1664. still got your phone.

  1665. And I want you to go into the description, and I want you to start

  1666. making some choices.

  1667. Signing up for the 365 day devotional.

  1668. Signing up for a ground crew, a flight crew.

  1669. Signing up.

  1670. Like, it's more than a sign up.

  1671. It's.

  1672. It's an enlistment.

  1673. Every army has an enrollment, and if you don't show up, they say

  1674. you're going awol.

  1675. So my thing is, when we look at these lists, it's an enlistment.

  1676. So every class has a roster.

  1677. And when you're the teacher in the five fold and you're taking role

  1678. and you're like, absent, absent, absent.

  1679. Like, no, no, we want to say present, present, present, present.

  1680. And this is your opportunity to do that right now.

  1681. But then I want to be bold because all of us are just living

  1682. in someone else's.

  1683. Yes.

  1684. And I want to be bold that I would ask because this is technically

  1685. the last Sunday right before the year changes over, which means

  1686. you have one more opportunity.

  1687. And I know that my family and I were giving a very large gift financially.

  1688. And so as you're watching from the nations, you can see that we

  1689. need to do a lot of work.

  1690. And so I'm just gonna ask one more time, and then we're gonna pray.

  1691. Would you consider partnering with us financially?

  1692. We got into the building and now we need to go all the way.

  1693. And I believe it's going to be because of your yes right now just

  1694. saying whatever God tells you to give and I believe that it's gonna

  1695. be done.

  1696. I believe it's gonna be done.

  1697. So thank you in advance for tapping the link giving right now

  1698. in this moment and Papa Dean, would you just.

  1699. You gave a father's blessing.

  1700. So Father, we just come together right now, God as a corporate

  1701. family, Lord.

  1702. And we thank you that God that you have brought us all here for

  1703. a reason.

  1704. Father God, it's our yes that is promoting what you're building.

  1705. So Father I thank you for each member here and all the ones that

  1706. aren't here.

  1707. God and all our congregates.

  1708. Father, I thank you that God you.

  1709. You are our father and we're here to see legacy become a part

  1710. of all this.

  1711. That our children and children children will be running the banner

  1712. of V1 Lord.

  1713. And we thank you.

  1714. We thank you for our apostle Mike.

  1715. We thank you for our prophet Josh.

  1716. God, we thank you for all the members here that stand Father and

  1717. stand on your word that God it's truth.

  1718. So Father, reveal to us.

  1719. Give us more vision, give us more insight to reach the nations

  1720. God.

  1721. That God, there's many out there that are dying.

  1722. That God we want them all.

  1723. I just see the picture of all that God you have sent before us,

  1724. God.

  1725. That God, we're all in check.

  1726. God.

  1727. We're all in check on our our.

  1728. On our hearts, our souls and our mind.

  1729. That God you are filling us up.

  1730. So God, thank you for preparing a table for all of us right

  1731. here, right now.

  1732. And let us stand and know that you are God.

  1733. In Jesus name we pray.

  1734. Amen.
