-
Hey, I would love to welcome each and every one of you from all
-
around the world right now.
-
So can you drop a comment in the chat?
-
Matter of fact, even if you're watching in a living room, just turn
-
the volume down on your phone and comment in the comment section.
-
And let's see everybody from V1 Global represented.
-
And let me know where you're watching from.
-
We are right now here in the new building in Smithtown, and it
-
is such an incredible experience.
-
And for this to be the first thing that we do in this building,
-
I believe is just God setting the cornerstone, the very foundation.
-
And of course, I cried already before we even hit record.
-
And as y'all are pulling this up on YouTube and subscribing, make
-
sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't.
-
And commenting.
-
And we've got our engagers there.
-
I'm telling you, this is one of my favorite services we do every
-
year because, listen, I don't know what's gonna happen, but the
-
Lord does.
-
It's not a mystery to Him.
-
And he divinely gives us.
-
The Bible says that the Lord does nothing without first revealing
-
it to his prophets.
-
And I don't regard myself as a prophet, but I do regard myself as
-
an apostolic builder.
-
And oftentimes God has had to tell me what's going to happen so
-
that I can successfully build his church around the world.
-
And so I'm gonna be sharing some things and taking some very
-
big risks.
-
But I do have an authentic, and I just wanna.
-
An authentic, real prophet.
-
And you've seen him on the stage at the Breakers Conference
-
in front of thousands and thousands of people.
-
You've seen him go viral on Instagram.
-
And God has just continually and perpetually confirmed the things
-
that he said through you.
-
Despite the haters, despite the ones who don't understand the
-
prophetic realm, even in the midst of that you've been prophesying
-
since the 90s.
-
Here we are in 2024, on the precipice of 2025, and Prophet Josh
-
Hamstra, we have the privilege of having you serve as our executive.
-
But we honor you as a prophetic voice.
-
So welcome to Sabbath Sunday, and welcome to the living rooms of
-
homes around the world, man.
-
Well, thank you so much, Pastor Mike.
-
What an introduction.
-
And it's amazing to sit in this building here.
-
We literally got the keys yesterday, and we're sitting in here.
-
And just so you guys know, like, right before we started, Pastor
-
Mike was giving vision for this.
-
And I feel like everyone in this room, like the faith was rising.
-
And my prayer for even in this moment now is that wherever you are
-
at, whatever's happening in your life, that even in this moment,
-
these next 30 minutes, that the faith rises in your living room
-
for the impossible, that the faith would rise in every single
-
life that's listening to this, that's hearing this, to say, wait,
-
this is the season that the Lord God of the heavens is going
-
to open up the skies.
-
He is going to open up the skies.
-
And I literally, even as you were praying, it's like, I have a
-
bunch of stuff prepared, and I feel like the Lord gave me some things
-
that I want to, like, physically read.
-
But it's like, as you were praying, it's almost like I saw the
-
hands of God ripping open the skies.
-
It was like he was tearing it back.
-
And it's like, this is a season of the Lord releasing the
-
favor on the faithful, like those that have remained faithful,
-
those that have been through the suffering, been through the persecution,
-
walk through the fire.
-
And the Lord says, I am releasing favor on those that have
-
remained faithful.
-
And there is an open heaven over those people.
-
And so I just wanna start it off by saying, like, man, let the
-
faith arise in your home.
-
You've been praying for your kids, you've been praying for your
-
spouse, and you're like, lord, is this ever gonna happen?
-
Am I ever gonna see my son or my daughter or my family serve the
-
Lord?
-
And I believe this is the time, this is the season, this is
-
the E church where the prayers that we have been praying for years
-
and years and years that there is favor on those prayers.
-
Wow.
-
You know, I'm overwhelmed right now because I'm watching you
-
prophesy.
-
We're surrounded by cameras right in the middle of this gymnasium
-
where we will be holding services soon on Long Island.
-
And you served as a board member of V1 Church.
-
And I'll never forget, like a Joshua and Caleb, we showed up to
-
New York City, we looked at venues, and we just dreamed about
-
what God could do.
-
And that's almost a decade ago now.
-
And when you said that he's opening up and releasing favor upon
-
those who are faithful, it's like, yeah, we're living in it right
-
now because I remember us not even knowing as a young church, V1
-
church, less than 50 members.
-
How could we even afford one venue?
-
And now six physical locations later.
-
This right now is our second building that we've purchased.
-
We just got a 24.
-
7 access in South Florida, Miami.
-
I mean, Eye has not seen nor ear heard neither has it entered
-
into the heart of man, that which God has prepared for us, for
-
those that he loves?
-
And so for those of you that are watching right now, I just want
-
to remind you, you can't figure it out because it's greater
-
than what you can conceive.
-
And this is not hope or hype.
-
This is hope because I think, like, hype is like, oh, God's going
-
to bless you.
-
No, no.
-
God blesses the faithful.
-
God blesses those who are consistent.
-
God blesses those who have remained in the faith.
-
And there's many people that are stepping into 2025.
-
And I believe that even us being in this building.
-
But can I take it a step further?
-
Yeah, yeah.
-
Because we need to fix the roof.
-
I walked in, and thankfully there had been a heavy rain, and
-
there's several puddles of water.
-
And at first I was so discouraged because I said, God,
-
you gave us an incredible deal on this building, but now we got
-
to fix the roof already.
-
And I thought about how when Joshua and Caleb went into the promised
-
land, and that same feeling of like, yes, we're here.
-
Canaan, the land that flows with milk and honey.
-
Wait a second.
-
There's giants.
-
So I believe that coming into 2025, I saw the word promise and
-
I saw the word giants.
-
And I heard the Lord saying to many people watching right now that
-
stepping into the promise doesn't mean the absence of giants.
-
As a matter of fact, the giants are the sign that you're in
-
the promise.
-
And so don't.
-
But I sat down with Everly.
-
You know, she's 10 years old.
-
We did Psalm 91 last night.
-
And I believe that God wants us to actually exchange panic for
-
preparation because we are stepping into the promise.
-
And the giants are not a contradiction of the promise.
-
The giants are the confirmation of the promise.
-
And so I don't know how, but somebody watching right now is going
-
to sow financially, and we are going to fix this roof so we can
-
get occupancy.
-
Just like Joshua didn't do it alone.
-
Caleb didn't do it alone.
-
They were all giant killers.
-
Matter of fact, you know, they said, hey, we're ready.
-
The ones that stepped in, we're ready to do this.
-
We're all marching around the walls of Jericho.
-
We're going to get this thing done.
-
So prophetically, I see a teaming together.
-
And for those of us that are watching right now, you did it alone.
-
And now you're going to actually have the other giant killers
-
with you.
-
But.
-
But the giants are the confirmation of the but you're going
-
to kill them together and do this together.
-
Wow, man.
-
As you were talking, I just.
-
I kept hearing where you arrived is not your final destination.
-
And I feel like even us walking into this building, we could
-
be like, oh, no.
-
Well, there's water leaking, and there's all these costs now associated
-
with.
-
And I feel like I saw people at home, and even what they were
-
praying for, the Lord gave to them, but it wasn't what they thought.
-
And it's almost like the manna to them became a curse.
-
Wow.
-
And the Lord is like, hey.
-
And I saw a picture of people arriving at the Dead Sea, and it's
-
like, if you arrive on the south end, I think it is.
-
Or the north end, it's desert.
-
And you could arrive at it at what looks like fresh water and be
-
like, oh, no, this thing looked great, but it's actually salty.
-
If you arrive on the other side, the river is there, and it's
-
fresh water.
-
Wow.
-
And it's like, where you arrived, it may have been salty water.
-
It may have been something that you didn't expect.
-
Even the thing you were praying for, the Lord gave you.
-
And you're like, well, wait a minute.
-
There's leaks everywhere.
-
This thing's broken.
-
And the Lord is like, where you arrived, what I gave you is not
-
the final destination.
-
Like, you could keep moving, get to the clean water.
-
The Jordan is there, the river is there.
-
And even being in this building, it's like, I believe that
-
there's going to be faith arising even in people right now
-
saying, I will sow to this thing.
-
Because, listen, us arriving here with water all over the place,
-
like, this roof's gonna get fixed.
-
You know, we're gonna.
-
We got a stage to build and all these things.
-
And it's like, where we arrived is not the final destination.
-
It is greater.
-
It is something bigger.
-
We are gonna build bigger.
-
Well, I keep thinking about Joshua, Chapter one, where over and
-
over again, the Lord says, be courageous.
-
Be courageous, be courageous.
-
And it's like, a lot of times we think, well, I don't need courage
-
to step into the Promise, because the promise is gonna be when
-
things get better.
-
But it's like, no.
-
The first stage of stepping requires dethroning giants.
-
It requires conquering.
-
Then it gets better.
-
And so I walked in this building and I said, oh, we're finally
-
out of that little venue.
-
And we have this big venue, and we have this.
-
We're finally there.
-
And then I saw the water and I saw this and all the work that needed
-
to Be done.
-
Which we knew, but not to this extent.
-
And it's almost like giants look smaller from farther away.
-
And then you step into the promise, and you're like, oh.
-
And so I just believe that God is speaking divinely to many people
-
watching right now and saying, have courage.
-
Yes.
-
Like, you're single, and then you're gonna meet your mate and be
-
like, I'm coming into the promise.
-
Oh, no.
-
Have courage.
-
You're gonna need counseling.
-
But I thought this was the husband God promised.
-
Oh, it is, but there's some giants to deal with.
-
Have courage.
-
Oh, I finally.
-
I got my new job.
-
I got a promotion.
-
Matter of fact, I'm making more money.
-
Have courage.
-
But my finances are better.
-
Yes, but now you're gonna have to conquer some giants.
-
Your job got a little harder, and there's something about that.
-
So I just want to release supernatural courage right now.
-
And if you're watching right now, the Lord is just imparting supernatural
-
courage to you.
-
Courage is what you do in the face of fear.
-
Can I do some 40,000 foot like global prophecy right now?
-
Because just in the last week, God has increased my subscriber count
-
by almost 100,000.
-
I've been livestreaming to 20,000 concurrent live viewers.
-
And by the way, there is no trick to the algorithm.
-
It is God's sovereignly and divinely increasing influence to
-
get the word out.
-
And I'm gonna step into that.
-
I know you've got notes too, so I'm gonna kick it back to you
-
in a second.
-
But six months before the global pandemic, the one that we
-
just got through, six months before, the Lord began to tell me,
-
something's coming.
-
Something's coming.
-
Prepare, prepare, prepare.
-
And I had a meeting with our staff, and I told them, Ryan and
-
Mallory, they heeded the warning.
-
They saved their money like I told all the staff to do.
-
Sure enough, six months later, the global pandemic hits.
-
And in Ryan's own words, because I want to make sure I'm quoting
-
him properly, he said we were thriving in a time when many other
-
people were barely surviving, but it was because we exchanged panic
-
for preparation, and you gave us the word of the Lord.
-
So here's what I see happening in the Earth in 2025.
-
And I'm going to take some risks, and I'm willing to be wrong,
-
but I took risks last year, and I was just telling you off the
-
air that how I knew that the prophetic words that I gave last
-
year were coming to pass was people on TikTok and Instagram and
-
various other platforms were taking the clips of the news and
-
combining them with what I saw.
-
I didn't even know.
-
There were things I said last year I forgot.
-
I said, until all of a sudden, something happened in the royal family,
-
and then this happened and that.
-
And people were taking the clips.
-
So I want to take more risks.
-
And the reason why it's important for us to take risks is
-
the only way you grow is by taking risk.
-
And there's oftentimes where a prophetic word doesn't come to pass
-
for years later.
-
But we have to cultivate an environment where people feel like
-
they can even do it.
-
So here's what I believe I see, okay, is I was in prayer the
-
other night, and I saw the face of Mussolini and I saw the face
-
of Stalin.
-
And I said, lord, what are you showing me?
-
And the Lord said, the same demonic infrastructure behind Mussolini
-
and Stalin is actually behind world leaders today.
-
And I said, well, what is the meaning of what you're showing me?
-
And the Lord said that these.
-
These figures, these political figures like Mussolini and like Stalin,
-
are.
-
It's all about changing boundaries and extending the territories
-
of nations.
-
So Mussolini's goal for the Kingdom of Italy was to actually
-
reestablish the boundaries of Rome.
-
Wow.
-
And so Stalin had a very similar thing.
-
So what's going to happen is I believe we will see an increase in
-
war, but the demonic infrastructure behind the war, just
-
like with Mussolini and Stalin, is to dramatically increase
-
the boundaries, to actually be the old boundaries.
-
And you're going to see that in global figures.
-
Now, the other thing about Mussolini and Stalin is what you
-
have is like fascism, and you have these figures.
-
So in other words, people following a figure more than a government.
-
And so that's going to be the hallmark of this is it's like people
-
are going to.
-
You're going to see figures rise up more than the government.
-
So what are the implications of this?
-
I believe prepare for war and more war.
-
Prepare for boundaries.
-
Because I know we have a global audience, especially those
-
who watch us on boundary lines.
-
And the way I saw it, it's like governmental lines.
-
Beware of the boundaries over lines.
-
And I see that.
-
The other thing, too, though, is that usually with whatever the
-
devil is doing, God is actually willing into the earth.
-
And so you see Nebuchadnezzar, but you also see Daniel Meshach,
-
Shadrach, Abednego, so you see God.
-
I also believe you're gonna see God raising up figureheads, God
-
raising up generals, God raising up new voices, God Raising
-
up people with incredible influence.
-
And so, but.
-
But almost like those people will be trusted more than the institutions.
-
So I believe that we're going to see an eroding of institutionalized
-
trust.
-
So that means we.
-
We don't necessarily trust the church, but we trust these figures
-
from a church.
-
We don't trust a government, but we trust the figures over this
-
government.
-
And the word that I saw was destabilize.
-
Destabilization.
-
I see Canada increasingly, I see the Middle east, and I see the
-
east in general increasingly destabilized.
-
And out of that will come these figures.
-
But I want to end on the good.
-
On the good news that I had before I hand it back to you is at
-
the same time that there's destabilization.
-
I saw the word reallocation, destabilization and reallocation.
-
And I see properties.
-
And we're even sitting.
-
I see properties.
-
I see ministries getting properties.
-
I see Christians and businesses, you know, Christian business
-
owners getting properties.
-
And there's like this window of time within the next 18 months
-
where I see a reallocation of properties for the Seven Mountain
-
Mandate, which a lot of people would say is NAR in the new Apostolic
-
Reformation.
-
But I believe that even that propaganda is demonic propaganda
-
to start, because we are obviously not new Apostolic Reformation.
-
But I do believe that the true Apostolic Reformation is what God
-
is trying to do.
-
Not the new, the true.
-
Because we're going back to the beginning and it's like, what
-
does this mean?
-
Yes, we need Christian entrepreneurs in business that are.
-
That are.
-
And sometimes it'll look like Chick Fil A where it's secular with
-
Christian music playing on the background.
-
And sometimes it'll look like blatantly Christian.
-
But we need Christians in business.
-
We need Christians in the entertainment industry making films
-
like Domino Revival.
-
We need films about abortion.
-
We need.
-
You know what I'm saying?
-
We need this.
-
We need.
-
We had CS Lewis and Tolkien, but where is the CS Lewis and the
-
Tolkien of today?
-
Like, they wrote Christian books that were appealing to secular
-
masses and became the impetus for a great harvest.
-
So they were in the entertainment realm.
-
And of course, we're not in an ar, but I do believe we are going
-
to see the true Apostolic Reformation, which is what saying,
-
like, hey, we can't just let secular people lead secular realms.
-
We need the Daniels, we need the Josephs to begin to rise up,
-
to reform Babylon, to reform Egypt like Joseph.
-
That is part of this thing that I'm seeing, and it's a reallocation.
-
So the other thing too, is 7 days ago from the day of this recording,
-
which we got a lot of people watching right now.
-
I take this very seriously.
-
I talked about a genetic mutation for a bird flu virus that
-
was extremely concerning.
-
And this is not a prediction, but it.
-
Or this is not a prophecy, but it is prediction.
-
And what I saw was kind of ominous.
-
Little alert just sounded over our shoulder was that secular scientists
-
are saying that we're one genetic mutation away from bird flu
-
virus becoming human to human transmissible.
-
And just yesterday, which, you know, as the day of this recording,
-
California issued a state of emergency because they have patient
-
zero.
-
British Columbia and Canada already has one as well.
-
And so what do I mean?
-
Should we be afraid?
-
Absolutely not.
-
Psalm 91, it talks about pestilence, right?
-
Like, we're not to fear the pestilence that stalks at midday,
-
the arrow that flies by night.
-
Like, we're fine.
-
But at the same time, we need to be vigilant and we need to be
-
prepared instead of being panicked.
-
Because, again, this goes with the destabilization.
-
I believe it's going to be on multiple fronts.
-
But my great encouragement to everybody watching right now, especially
-
the people of V1 Church, and I told everybody, I said, guys, we're
-
in the ark.
-
You know, we're here on Long Island.
-
Like, God has given us this building.
-
God has given us these opportunities.
-
That's the good news.
-
It's like, hey, Joseph, you're going to be distributing a seed in
-
the time of need.
-
You're going to have Goshen in the midst of a famine.
-
And so God is going to give a reallocation of land, a reallocation
-
of resources, a reallocation of finances.
-
It's just.
-
Don't.
-
It's just like this.
-
Don't be intimidated by the sound around you, but be cued into
-
the voice of the Lord.
-
Because just as the spirit of death was passing by, they had the
-
blood on their doorpost.
-
And it was like you heard the screams of people losing their firstborn,
-
but you didn't lose yours.
-
Wow.
-
That's what's going to happen, I believe in 2025 is God saying,
-
don't be intimidated by what you hear, but just know that I've
-
always already prepared you.
-
So that's all I have.
-
I wanted to get that out because I wanted to cut to you and
-
give you the final like.
-
Cause I know you got a lot of notes as well, but let's rock and
-
roll.
-
Yeah.
-
Yeah, man.
-
Well, you know, even as you were talking, you know, we're.
-
We're raising up hundreds of prophets at this church.
-
And something we've been talking a lot about is, is the watchtower
-
prophets.
-
And I believe even what you're saying is there's a watchtower element
-
to where you're standing on the walls and you're looking out,
-
and it's like everyone else is behind the walls, unable to see.
-
And it's like what the watchtower apostles do, what the
-
watchtower prophets do, is they see the things coming first.
-
And it's a bell that's rung.
-
Yeah.
-
Like, even the fact that you were talking and, like, an alarm
-
went off, it's almost like part of being a watchtower ministry
-
is being able to see things before anyone else, even in the kingdom
-
sees it.
-
But there is a level of ringing the bell.
-
Hey, everyone, just so you know, you don't see this yet, but
-
there's something coming.
-
There's an element coming.
-
The hard part in that is those on the wall get attacked the most.
-
And so I just wanna honor you and your personal ministry, Pastor
-
Mike.
-
I've seen you attacked more in the last couple years than most ministers
-
in the earth.
-
And I believe part of the anointing that you carry is a watchtower,
-
A watchman.
-
A watchman on the wall to say, I will see it first.
-
I will expose myself to the enemy, because I want to be the one
-
that sees it first.
-
And I may get the arrows first.
-
I may get all of the attack first.
-
But that's truly a shepherd's heart.
-
It's like, that is a shepherd's heart to say, I'm willing
-
to take attack if it means I see what's coming and I could tell
-
the rest of the people what's coming.
-
The word that I have, it goes directly.
-
And I didn't tell you any of this.
-
Yeah.
-
We have no prior conversation.
-
And let me just real quick.
-
Cause I want to kick it back, because I don't think they'll know
-
what you're like.
-
So I have no idea what you're going to say.
-
And unlike last year, where we had more of a roundtable, I said,
-
let's sit down, prophet and apostle.
-
But I got everything out on the front end because I was like,
-
let them cook.
-
Because I don't know what you're going to say.
-
But I also didn't want the audience to think that there is a
-
level of deception where we've collaborated on this.
-
And it literally was, you seek God, I'll see God, and then we'll
-
come together at a table in a few Moments.
-
I'm going to invite the remainder of the Fivefold to join
-
us.
-
But I'm so thankful for you.
-
And I just wanted to explicitly say right now during this
-
broadcast, there is zero prior knowledge of what was going to be
-
talked about.
-
Yeah.
-
Yeah.
-
So even as you were talking, I was like, man, he really is a prophet.
-
This really is.
-
So this is what I heard.
-
And this was also in collaboration with the prophets that
-
we've been raising up.
-
So you have a school of the prophets.
-
We have the link in the description of this video so people
-
can sign up for 2025.
-
Because even if you're prophetic and not a prophet by title,
-
you should be trained if you desire to be trained.
-
And you have a school of the prophet and links in the description.
-
But yeah, yeah.
-
So I was asking them, not only what are you hearing for 2025, but
-
even as we're developing and hearing from God prophetic words,
-
we're asking them and putting them over regions of the world.
-
Yeah.
-
There's 20 different regions where it's like, hey, you're over
-
Israel.
-
Like, you're going to prophesy over this nation, over this land.
-
But.
-
So this is the title.
-
And I want to read some of this because I believe.
-
Yeah, please do.
-
Some of this is important.
-
Important.
-
The wording actually matters in this.
-
But this is what I heard.
-
This is an era of swords and scepters.
-
Wow.
-
Swords and scepters.
-
And this has everything to do with war, with battle, and with authority.
-
Wow.
-
So as you were saying, this is a season for war.
-
I said, man.
-
Pastor Mike, I can't wait to share this because this goes directly
-
in line with what you were saying.
-
That's crazy.
-
So this is an era of swords and.
-
And scepters.
-
And some of this is.
-
Some of this is a difficult word.
-
Some of this is a semi rebuke, and if not rebuke, but a correction
-
and a time and a moment to get your life right with God.
-
Come on.
-
And so I see two different swords, one in the hand of God and
-
one that he's giving out to his people.
-
This is what I see in the hand of God.
-
And let me just read this.
-
The Lord is splitting and destroying the idols.
-
He is causing a decision to be made this year.
-
Cause one month ago, I heard that this is a time of decision and
-
transition.
-
And this is what the Lord is saying.
-
Will you serve me in humility and lay down all of your pride, all
-
of your idols?
-
Will you stop living lukewarm inside, but looking on fire from
-
the outside.
-
Whoo.
-
Can I just stop there?
-
I believe that a lot of the last five years, when we see people
-
fall, this entire time, I believe there has been a lukewarmness
-
inside.
-
But on the outside, everything looks great.
-
On the outside, everything.
-
Wow.
-
Like, I can't believe that happened to that person.
-
I didn't see that coming.
-
And the Lord, this year, he says no more.
-
Yeah.
-
This is the year that he's laying the sword down.
-
Wow.
-
He's destroying the idols.
-
The things that have been built by man that are ungodly, unrighteous
-
things that they have caused trauma that they have caused people
-
to go through.
-
The Lord says, not any longer.
-
Wow.
-
And so this is a season of decision.
-
Yeah.
-
And so if you're at home right now and you are living lukewarm,
-
this is a warning.
-
This is a season that the Lord is actually spitting people out of
-
his mouth.
-
Yeah.
-
Like, this is a time where the Lord says, will you be completely
-
on fire with me?
-
Stop playing games.
-
Stop.
-
Stop being of mixture of living one way but then saying another.
-
It's time for us to say, lord Jesus, I will give you everything.
-
I will give everything to you.
-
And the Lord is dealing with fakes.
-
He's dealing with the unauthentic in this year.
-
So that's the sword in God's hand.
-
Now, let me tell you, the sword that he's giving to his people.
-
He is placing a sword in the hands of his warriors, in the hands
-
of the faithful, in the hands of those that place all of their
-
trust in the name of Jesus.
-
Not in a man, not in their own name, but in the name of Jesus.
-
Come on.
-
This will be used on the front lines in the spiritual warfare.
-
Wow.
-
He is calling the church to rise up, to remove the stick from
-
our hands and actually replace it with a sword.
-
Come on.
-
I believe the spiritual warfare that's been taking place
-
has been people with sticks.
-
Yeah.
-
Literally, it's been like, I'm fighting, but, man, it's like, no,
-
Lay down the stick and allow the Lord to actually place a sword
-
in your hand to actually, like, finally kill the attack from
-
the enemy.
-
So good.
-
All right, let me go to the last part of this.
-
I said, this is an era of swords and scepters.
-
What is a scepter?
-
It has everything to do with authority because you are in the
-
presence of the king.
-
And this is what I believe is that there is an authority that the
-
king is giving to his people.
-
And it's almost like I saw a picture of a scepter.
-
Like a king holds.
-
The only time you see a scepter is when you're actually in
-
the presence of the king.
-
Wow.
-
And I saw a beckoning.
-
I saw him saying, you may know me as savior, but it's now time to
-
know me as king.
-
It's like, we can't advance the kingdom of God if we don't know
-
him as king.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Many people know him as savior, as friend, as father.
-
And it's like the Lord, in this era, he says, you will know
-
me as king because he is releasing authority to his people.
-
And this is what I believe he gave me.
-
This is an era that will be marked by genuine expression, experience
-
in the presence of the king and a real assignment from the king
-
to go out in authority.
-
A scepter has.
-
Has everything to do with establishment.
-
Wow.
-
And this is.
-
This is the end of this word.
-
It's not just about building.
-
It's the establishment of what's being built to actually have
-
legacy.
-
Wow.
-
Because a lot of people can build stuff, but guess what?
-
Buildings can be destroyed.
-
Yeah.
-
And it's like the Lord is.
-
He's gonna be, I believe, showing his people.
-
This is what you are meant to put your hand to.
-
This is what's gonna have legacy attached to it.
-
And I even believe us being in this building right now, this is
-
a holy divine sign from our Savior, from our king that's saying,
-
build here.
-
This is a place of building.
-
This is a place of legacy, and this is a place that the Lord is
-
going to establish.
-
And so the Lord, he has a scepter in his hand in this season,
-
and he is literally knighting people.
-
Yeah, he's knighting.
-
It's like, okay, now it's time to actually walk in authority.
-
Now it's actually time to walk out in the duminous power.
-
And it's like, there.
-
And there's going to be a fire, like a Pentecost fire that
-
comes over people.
-
And so that's.
-
I have a ton more, but I'm like, I just wanted to release that.
-
Then maybe me and you will do a lot of things.
-
It's crazy to flow.
-
Yeah, we'll definitely do that, for sure.
-
But it's funny because as God.
-
So I had 20,000 concurrent live viewers, 15,000.
-
And it's funny because I used it for the gospel and somebody hit
-
me up.
-
And they said, when I watched you preach unapologetically to 20,000
-
people online, I know you don't care about an audience.
-
You don't care about subscribers.
-
You care about the kingdom.
-
You care about the gospel, and I got to see your heart on display.
-
But there is a phrase the Holy Spirit specifically told me to ask
-
people to say, and it was, christ is king.
-
Wow.
-
And it's so funny how you said that, because what I'm realizing
-
is that the world wants a savior, but they don't want a king.
-
Yeah, save me.
-
I messed my life up.
-
Save me.
-
I made the wrong decisions.
-
Save me.
-
I.
-
I need finances.
-
No, no.
-
But for a king, you give your finances to him.
-
For a king, it's like, no, I'm here to protect you, King.
-
It's almost like you take from a savior, but you give to a king.
-
Wow.
-
And right now, it's like God's trying to switch and say, hey, man,
-
we've been taken for a long time.
-
It's time to give.
-
Now.
-
It's time.
-
And so that, to me, is, like, where I feel like the flip is coming.
-
Like, give your life, give your finances, give your gift, lay
-
it back down at his feet and say, hey, God, this is all for you.
-
And that's why I feel like that's the switch that's happening
-
right now from, okay, you knew him as savior, but do you know him
-
as king?
-
Even when the wise men showed up, they showed up to give gifts
-
because they were saying, he's a baby, but he's the king, and he
-
hasn't done anything yet.
-
It's who he is.
-
That's why we're giving these gifts.
-
And so there's something about, like, y'all need to give now.
-
You need to sign up now.
-
You need to begin to say, okay, now, God, not when you give
-
it, but because of who you are.
-
That's the evidence of king.
-
I'm gonna break this alabaster box before you die on the cross because
-
you're the king.
-
I didn't give this out.
-
Oh, that's such a revelation on that.
-
There's some people who are breaking alabaster boxes because
-
he died on the cross, not realizing that she.
-
He broke the alabaster box before he died on the cross because
-
of who he is.
-
So I feel like that's why, for me, when I walked in, I was like,
-
lord, how are we going to do this?
-
How are we going to get this building ready?
-
And the Lord was like, you're not.
-
They're going to do it.
-
They're going to break their alabaster box because I'm king, because
-
they're recognizing who I am.
-
Wow.
-
And that's how the kingdom's going to advance man.
-
Can I just say something real quick?
-
Real quick?
-
I believe I got a revelation of even when Jesus.
-
Jesus says, your kingdom come, your will be done, it's almost like
-
if you don't see him as king, you cannot fulfill his will.
-
Kingdom comes first.
-
Yes.
-
It's like you serve him as king first, you see him as king,
-
which means total and absolute surrender of our wills.
-
And I believe even the first part of that will, talking about,
-
like, you can't live in mixture anymore.
-
You can't live half in and half out.
-
You can't live in one kingdom and the other.
-
The Lord says, you are choosing my kingdom or you are choosing
-
another one.
-
And it's like, we cannot fulfill his will if we are not in
-
his advancing the kingdom which is his rule and his absolute
-
reign in our lives.
-
So I just want to say that.
-
Well, I'll tell you this.
-
You know, as a church, we're starting the new year, getting the
-
mixture out.
-
Yes, we're starting the new year getting delivered.
-
We're starting the new year, throwing things away.
-
We're starting the new year purifying, sanctifying.
-
Like, we're getting the mixture out.
-
And as a church, and I think about the daily growth journal, we're
-
starting January 1st.
-
We're reading our Bible every day this year, January 1st, we're
-
praying the mixture's gone.
-
I am not going to spend more time on this than I do in the book.
-
The mixture's gone.
-
And that's what I think it was like when they were in the king's
-
court, they said, we can't eat the king's meal.
-
Why?
-
Because we're in Babylon, but we're not of Babylon.
-
We don't eat.
-
We don't.
-
We don't have the same diet as you.
-
So in other words, God changed my diet in 2025, I'm done.
-
Because the king's meat is poisoned.
-
When it's the wrong king, it's, hey, the Babylonian king is
-
not our king.
-
We serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
-
That's that king's meat.
-
We don't live on bread alone.
-
But every word that.
-
That proceeds out of the mouth of God, like, our food is from our
-
king.
-
And there's something about, like, switching off of, like, their
-
king's meat to our king's meat, their king's bread to our king's
-
bread, and getting that mixture out.
-
So daily growth book, having a literal, like, hey, I have two crews.
-
I have a ground crew and I have a flight crew.
-
This is my accountability in 2025, God is going to change my circle
-
to change my level.
-
If you were going to go to this next level with your existing
-
friend group, it would have already happened.
-
So guess what, Daniel, you need Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
-
I'm going to change your circles to change your level.
-
And I really feel like for many people, they need to sign up
-
for their flight crew.
-
They need to sign up for their seven mountains of influence and
-
which one God assigned them to.
-
They need to sign up for men's group, women's group.
-
Why?
-
Because change the influence and you change the impact when you,
-
whoever is influencing you is determining your level.
-
And so you got to get in those, those flight crews, then you
-
got to get into a ground crew where you're saying, I'm going to
-
actually serve.
-
Because when he was my Savior, I wanted him to serve me, but when
-
he's my King, I want to serve him.
-
So you know what I would love to see at our churches?
-
People from the medical community as front door greeters
-
and ushers.
-
I would like to see lawyers being the ones putting you in your
-
seat and saying, hey, come over here, let me.
-
You know what I'd like to see?
-
I'd like to see six figure plus earning entrepreneurs being
-
the ones working in kids.
-
Because that's the influence on our king.
-
Because they're saying, hey, I'm the ground crew.
-
I signed up to serve a king, not to be served just by a Savior.
-
What can I do to build this thing?
-
And there's something about that, Josh, that once that comes
-
into alignment, the Bible says, seek first the kingdom.
-
Yes.
-
And then.
-
Ooh, it doesn't say seek first a position at church.
-
Yeah.
-
Seek first a kingdom which requires submitting to the king.
-
Yes.
-
Once you seek the kingdom first, which means you've accepted
-
the king, all those other things, it'll be added, which means
-
it's bonus.
-
Wow.
-
So I feel like God's reprioritizing people watching right
-
now.
-
And let me know in the comment section if this is you being reprioritized,
-
because I know I am as well.
-
But I want to bring in the Fivefold right now because we have
-
leaders from different campuses, different regions of the
-
US that serve as the Fivefold, which obviously is in the book of
-
Ephesians.
-
And it talks about how God.
-
It says God gave through Christ Jesus himself, the prophets,
-
apostles, preachers, teachers and evangelists.
-
In other words, there's the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are
-
given to believers as the Holy Spirit administrates But then there
-
are people that are being given as gifts from Jesus.
-
So, yes, we desire the gifts of the Spirit, but as a church, can
-
we acknowledge the people that are the gift?
-
Yes, because it says, hey, Christ himself has given to you.
-
Prophets and apostles and pastors and teachers and evangelists.
-
In other words, yes, we can all receive the gifts of the Spirit,
-
but can we receive people as gifts from Jesus according to Ephesians?
-
So can we do that?
-
Yes.
-
All right, guys.
-
Can we.
-
Can we all.
-
Come on.
-
We got.
-
Now, this is just some of them because the table is only so big
-
in the middle of the gymnasium of our new building.
-
But let's welcome them as they come.
-
Let's welcome them in the chat right now and just, you know, give
-
them double honor for being willing to be the five hole coming.
-
You can come up close, about to go out for barbecue after this.
-
And I can tell you right now, as it draws clear, nearer and nearer,
-
I get hungrier and hungrier.
-
But let me just do quick intros.
-
So we've got Evan Wilson, who for all intents and purposes, is
-
functioning in an evangelistic gift.
-
And his movie the Domino Revival reached, I mean, so many
-
people, which, by the way, in January, goes to digital distribution.
-
January 7th.
-
January 7th.
-
Yes.
-
Wow.
-
Talk about starting the new year 2000.
-
Theaters across the US just filled with people, which is.
-
That is not a church.
-
You filled theaters and I filled churches.
-
Rain and rain.
-
So it's like you're an evangelist, an apostolic evangelist,
-
because God allowed you to fill 2,000 theaters.
-
And then, of course, you have social media and you're raising up
-
the creator Academy, which I think we should talk about briefly.
-
Talk about what you do with that.
-
Yes.
-
So we're raising up right now hundreds of digital evangelists in
-
this.
-
In this modern world.
-
Apostolic evangelist.
-
Wow.
-
Come on.
-
And these people are from every walk.
-
Of life, Every walk of life, every season of life, every generation.
-
We have multiple nations represented people reaching tens
-
of thousands, even millions of people from the gospel, starting
-
from zero and going viral, reaching people with a message of
-
Jesus.
-
So YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, every platform.
-
So we have a link in the description for people to sign up
-
this year to get trained to be digital evangelists.
-
Thank you for leading them so well.
-
And I'll just do some quick introductions here as we kind of
-
go around, but we got Dean and Sandra and I want to talk.
-
The reason why I'm bringing them up is because I want to talk
-
about gift mixing, because they function in what I believe is
-
like an apostolic pastoral role.
-
And the story that I always tell is the very first time I did
-
a large event in London, I was standing here, and all of a sudden
-
all these people came running towards me.
-
And I said, hey, I'm here, Papa Siggs.
-
And then they all ran around me.
-
And I looked behind me, and it was Dean and Sandra.
-
And they said, dean, Sandra.
-
But that was because you're shepherding the nations, which is
-
an apostolic function as well.
-
And so you guys are functioning in that.
-
And so sometimes you see this blending that happens.
-
Obviously, you're.
-
Evan is our global online campus pastor, but he's also functioning
-
as an evangelistic apostolic, because these things blend.
-
So Dean and Sandra, I just want to welcome you guys and honor
-
you as founding members of V1 Church as well.
-
Thank you.
-
I just want to say thank you, Apostle Michael, for having us here
-
and being a part of this.
-
We're just so blessed to be here and be involved with what V1
-
does and just doing what you called us to do, because going to
-
London was just an amazing event.
-
And I just really want to thank you again.
-
Yes.
-
I honor you, son, and I love you so much.
-
But, you know, Caleb, he said, At 80 years old, give me that mountain.
-
And so I love what Psalms says, only ask.
-
God said, only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
-
the whole earth as your possession.
-
And I remember having many prophet talks in our living room,
-
Apostle Michael.
-
And we would quote this scripture over, we're going to the
-
nations.
-
We would prophesy, we're going to the nations.
-
And so when we go to the nations and see the people in London,
-
uk, it's like a fulfillment of what God said then.
-
And what he's going to do now.
-
Is over the faithful, those that were faithful.
-
Yeah.
-
And, you know, I like how it says, if you'll only ask, you have
-
not, because you ask not.
-
And I believe that what Caleb was doing was saying, I'm asking
-
for that mountain you gave us, the promised land.
-
But I want more.
-
At 80 years old, I want more than what God did when I was 40.
-
And, you know, we represent the generation.
-
And as you guys continue to, like, be pillars of the church, you're
-
saying, hey, God gave us six locations.
-
We want more.
-
God gave us a bill, Give me my mountain.
-
I want more God.
-
And there's something about that, but it's not.
-
Caleb didn't ask for more for his name's sake.
-
But what he was saying is, this is for our children and our
-
children's children.
-
You Know what I see in this room we're in right now?
-
I see children.
-
I see a.
-
I see a Christian school on Long island.
-
And it's like, so we're not asking for the mountain for us.
-
Caleb was saying, At 80 years old, God, give me that mountain for
-
our children and our children's children.
-
It's about legacy.
-
Mic drop.
-
Yeah, it's about legacy.
-
It's about legacy.
-
Most people our age, they want to retire and then go live in the
-
sun.
-
Get out of here with that junk.
-
We got work to do.
-
We got more territory to take.
-
There's more souls that need to be saved.
-
Come on, now.
-
It's time to get working for the Lord.
-
Well, you guys have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
-
And you talk about.
-
You know how you talked about King, it's like when he's your savior,
-
it's like, oh, Lord, you've given us motorcycles and a house
-
and a retirement, but when he's your king, Lord, could you be
-
asking me to give you all my motorcycles?
-
Could you be asking me to give you my house?
-
Could you be asked?
-
Could you.
-
I mean, even right now, let's be honest, it's cold in this room.
-
We hadn't even turned the heat on yet.
-
We're freezing.
-
I can hear this puddle forming over my.
-
You know, I'm like, lord, what did we do?
-
You know?
-
But I know it's like, no, Lord, because at every level, God
-
requires another.
-
So it's just like, at 40, let's take the promised land.
-
But Caleb said, but I gotta be willing at 80 to do it again.
-
I remember Evan moving to, you know, New York, living in missionary
-
housing, and I felt so bad for him.
-
And, yeah, I bought him all these rat traps.
-
And, you know, he sold.
-
You sold your bass equipment.
-
You know, literally his.
-
His cabinet for your bass and your guitar and all that.
-
And I remember just being grieved over that.
-
And the Lord says, no, no, like, you don't need to protect Evan
-
from generosity.
-
Generosity.
-
And there's.
-
There's a lot of pastors that be afraid to ask for the nations,
-
to be afraid to ask people to sow, to get the roof fixed, to do
-
this and this.
-
And I remember early on, the Lord said, don't.
-
You don't need to protect Evan from generosity.
-
I'm marking him as a man, and I'm going to give him back everything
-
he gave me.
-
And some just let him go on that journey.
-
And then I came back, and I'll never forget, you trained that mouse.
-
There's a mouse he Couldn't.
-
And he literally trained it.
-
Oh, there was one.
-
There's a sermon in that.
-
There's a sermon in that.
-
Train your mouse.
-
Train the mouse.
-
You can't kill.
-
Come on, somebody.
-
Yeah, come on.
-
Amen.
-
And, you know, that's the thing, you know, apostles make space
-
for that.
-
And I think us all sitting at this table, you see the wisdom in
-
how God set this up, you know, And I think speaking from an evangelistic
-
standpoint, as functioning in a evangelistic role, I think there's
-
a lot of people that aren't functioning as an evangelist who
-
are called to be an evangelist, because there hasn't
-
been an apostle to widen the field of view of what evangelism
-
truly is.
-
I think there's a lot of people not functioning as evangelists
-
because they've relegated it to the soapbox street corner preachers
-
and like, oh, I'm not.
-
That's not me.
-
I'm not called to do that.
-
But we need to evangelize with movies.
-
We need to evangelize with social media.
-
We need to really, I think, reassess as the body of Christ in
-
this new era, what is it to flow in the evangelistic.
-
But what I'm so grateful to you, apostle, is that you made space
-
for that and you revealed because, you know, I wouldn't have
-
called myself an evangelist, but you actually kind of revealed
-
that, like, no, all these things that you're functioning in,
-
that's evangelistic.
-
And so I think we probably all have a similar story where you saw
-
that in us and you made space for that.
-
And there's so much room here.
-
Well, and I thank you so much for that.
-
I want to acknowledge pastors Danny and Execa.
-
And before I do, though, let me just say there's many that are
-
not at this table, but I can feel their presence in the spirit.
-
Can you feel it?
-
Thinking about Randall and Mary, you know, I'll never forget
-
Randall stepped up on the stage in New Jersey during an evening
-
service.
-
And we were doing preview services.
-
There was no campus, no nothing.
-
And he got up on stage, and all of a sudden, Randall just began
-
to prophesy.
-
And I mean, the oil just went.
-
And I was standing behind him, and it was like he didn't stutter,
-
didn't stammer.
-
I mean, it was like he was just in his flow.
-
And what I now realize was he stepped into the grace space, and
-
it was like with you in the movie.
-
It's like when we went to Hollywood and they couldn't.
-
Couldn't cut the film and they didn't know.
-
And you said, mike, I know that I've never done a film before,
-
but could I please.
-
And then that first cut of the film, it was like you stepped into
-
a gray space.
-
You know, it's like each one of you guys, it's like pioneering
-
the.
-
With the Internet, you know, it was like, oh, no, we got it.
-
We're on zoom.
-
And then now you're leading hundreds through deliverance every
-
single month, and they're getting free from the nations.
-
And you're like, no, I got it.
-
It's like you stepped into your gray space.
-
So, like Randall and Mary being future campus pastors of New
-
Jersey.
-
But it was like, I saw it in the preview service.
-
And so, like with Danny and Execa, what I'm realizing more and
-
more about you, because when I look at this building, this building
-
looks like the United nations from the outside.
-
I mean, it's not a normal.
-
You know what I mean?
-
To the Long Islanders, who don't even know what church could
-
be, they're gonna be like, so you're telling me that's a church,
-
you know?
-
Cause there's no stained glass windows.
-
There's no.
-
I mean, this thing looks like a state of the art facility from
-
the outside.
-
Like a government.
-
It looks governmental, which is crazy.
-
But you guys carry, I believe, pastoral ability for a hub because
-
there's an interchange.
-
And I want to get this on film.
-
But when I was upstairs just plotting out how we would utilize
-
this space, I could hear the sound of the nations.
-
And the Lord says, I will bring the nations to this space.
-
This will be a nexus.
-
This will be a convergence place.
-
This will be an interchange.
-
And I could hear their voices in the spirit.
-
And it's just like with Pastor Eddie and Jocelyn.
-
I'll never forget when Eddie and I were praying in the city to
-
birth the city campus, I, all of a sudden, I got surrounded by
-
these voices in the spirit realm.
-
And I believe it was like a visceral experience, like a vision,
-
because it wasn't literal, it was more metaphorical.
-
I could hear all these people saying, thank you, thank you, thank
-
you, thank you.
-
180 degrees.
-
I'm like, I could hear thank you.
-
Then 360 degrees.
-
Thank you, thank you.
-
I could hear their voices.
-
And it was like the Lord was affirming.
-
When you get a campus into the boroughs, you will know that it was
-
me because you'll hear their voices.
-
And it was crazy because we launched Queens, Pastor Eddie and
-
I, Pastor Execa, or Jocelyn, we got the city campus.
-
Up off the ground.
-
And then all of a sudden, there was this one Sunday where we
-
were doing our loadout huddle, and I was surrounded.
-
And all of a sudden they started saying, thank you.
-
Thank you, Pastor Mike.
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-
And I was like, whoa.
-
Like this.
-
When this whole place was empty, I heard this.
-
This is that moment.
-
And of course, Brooklyn is thriving now.
-
Brooklyn launched New Jersey.
-
Brooklyn launched Manhattan, which is also thriving.
-
But I feel like for y'all as well, there's this hub.
-
And so what is God showing you as teachers and pastors and apostolic
-
pastors of a hub?
-
Well, this whole thing has been a learning experience for us,
-
but we appreciate what you have done for us.
-
We're learning from you.
-
I think the calling on your life of being an apostle, I don't
-
think we would be pastors without having an apostolic voice
-
over us.
-
So I think the same goes down to the whole church, and it goes
-
down to the whole nation.
-
Because as you pastor us being an apostle, calling us out, we also
-
call out other people.
-
And that's how we, like, spike out to the nations.
-
You know, the crazy and wild thing about us is that we're not
-
just one race in the church.
-
And actually the pastors are from different parts of the world.
-
You know, we are Spanish, South America, Puerto Rico, Caribbean.
-
You know, so does Pastor Jocelyn and.
-
Yeah.
-
And Pastor Randall.
-
You know, we're people.
-
We are a diverse church.
-
So I think being this building, being like the United nations
-
and being in New York, which is the capital of the world, you
-
know, I just think that we are a global voice of the gospel to all
-
the nations, and we're going to nations.
-
And I think that this is a hub to go out to the nations.
-
And that's what I see.
-
Yeah.
-
And I think that's possible because we have the fivefold.
-
Yeah, that's because if we don't have the five fold, then a
-
pastor will want to do a little bit of everything, and then
-
you do nothing.
-
Wow.
-
An evangelist will want to do a little bit of something, and they
-
will just accomplish a little bit where they are, but nothing else.
-
It's the same thing with a prophet.
-
You're missing when you have all those offices installed and properly
-
used.
-
You know, that's when everything functions and clicks like
-
an apostle.
-
Like, you have all the pieces, but if you don't, if there's not
-
someone, if the apostles is not there, if the prophet is not
-
there, if the pastors are not there, if the evangelist is not there,
-
if the teacher is not there.
-
And not only a person, but also, like, the offices and the systems
-
are not in place.
-
Like, nothing clicks, nothing works.
-
And if there's only, like, let's say if there's only pastors
-
in there, it just won't work.
-
And then the pastor will want to do whatever the pastor thinks
-
is right.
-
And they don't have the vision as the prophet or as the apostle.
-
So I think we are stepping into something that we haven't seen,
-
at least here in Long island, we haven't seen New York.
-
I come from another nation, from the other side of the world,
-
and you see stuff like that, but I don't think you have seen it
-
in here.
-
And I think when, you know, there's a saying in Italian that
-
it says the fish rots from the head to the tail.
-
So I think that since we are in the center of the world, it's
-
going to start here.
-
If it happened in other places, yeah, great.
-
It happened in other places, but it's never going to stick as
-
sticks coming from the head.
-
You know, it starts in the capital city, you know.
-
Well, you're flowing.
-
Well, go ahead.
-
Even if it in the suburbs, you know, we are in the suburbs of New
-
York City, but, like, the city is where everything happens.
-
So the fact that we are in New York and it's gonna flow from here.
-
Yeah, we're gonna go out to a nation.
-
I think that this is going to be unstoppable because not our movement.
-
Yeah, it's not V1 church movement, but it's a movement of
-
the kingdom.
-
That's it.
-
It's a movement of God.
-
And I think we have been humble enough to say, hey, it's not
-
nothing I did, certainly nothing I did.
-
But I think that as having an apostle, having a prophet, evangelists,
-
teachers, pastors that say it's about the king.
-
It's so funny you brought up Italian, because now you're blowing
-
my mind.
-
So in 2025, it's a Sabbath year for me in terms of I'm not preaching
-
anywhere in the world.
-
But there are two assignments remaining that go into our next film
-
that we're working on, and one of them is Singapore, which we're
-
praying that I get approved because they know I'm a wild man,
-
and it could be difficult to be approved to preach there because
-
you need a permit.
-
So I'm going through that process now.
-
And then the other one is Italy, and I got asked to preach
-
at the largest youth event in the entire nation.
-
And the next film that we're working on which is dominant revival.
-
Part two is essentially revival is family and how God brings
-
revival in family and in the generations.
-
And obviously my family on my dad's side being from Sicily.
-
So of course, this event that I got asked to preach at is in Sicily
-
and thousands of teenagers come from all over the country.
-
Well, this ministry that is facilitating it is the largest, most
-
successful spirit filled ministry in all of Italy.
-
And the way they talk about their leader, their founder is they
-
call him apostle.
-
And just like you said, it's like, it's very normal.
-
Nobody thinks it's weird, but that's normal because they understand
-
that's his role.
-
He breaks all the regions of the, of Italy, he establishes churches
-
and he, you know, oversees the eldership, which are the pastors.
-
And it was just so funny because hearing them talk about it
-
from Italy was like, yeah, this is normal.
-
So I think what we're doing.
-
And that's why I said, like, it's not the new Apostolic Reformation,
-
it's the true Apostolic Reformation, which simply means,
-
when did it become normal to only have pastors biblically?
-
When did that happen?
-
And even in the Catholic Church, they have a term called apostolic
-
succession, and they believe that the Pope is actually in the
-
lineage of Peter.
-
So even the Catholic Church has no problem with the five fold
-
in that regard.
-
It's just the evangelicals.
-
So to your point, I believe, yes, we've seen it in Argentina,
-
yes, we've seen it in Italy, yes, we've seen it in parts of Africa.
-
But the fivefold is being installed in America and God is installing
-
it at the gate.
-
And even Long island is the gate because it's a port and it comes
-
in.
-
And so I really believe that the fivefold.
-
And because like you said, a pastor will only make pastoral decisions,
-
but then a prophet will be like, I see this.
-
But then the apostle will say, okay, Josh, but what are we building?
-
Right?
-
But then sometimes if you, you know, so we need each other, then
-
it's like, okay, we're, we're seeing it, we're building it, we're
-
evangelizing, but who's teaching these people?
-
Because they're all biblically illiterate and they're all sleeping
-
with each other and fornicating and all this.
-
And it's like, who's going to actually teach them?
-
Okay, we need the teacher, you know, so it's like, but when it,
-
it all comes together, there's health.
-
Come on.
-
Just what you're saying, like, I'm getting the picture of like us
-
sitting on the table.
-
Yeah, and we actually.
-
And it's strange that I'm sitting right across from the head
-
of the table.
-
And we as a church in this last era, I would say we removed
-
the head of the table and we cannot function without the head
-
of the table.
-
And we said, we're going to remove the apostle and we're going
-
to remove the teacher, because now we want the power as the other
-
three offices speak.
-
And then the problem is that we can function properly in our offices
-
when the other two offices are not in their place.
-
See, this is why God has entrusted you with being an apostolic
-
pastor over the hub, because you can see the engine from the pistons,
-
you can see the engine from the spark plugs.
-
And that's really what happens is there's.
-
It's just like this space.
-
We were talking about how, you know, when you come in, it's like
-
sometimes you can pull on your own end of the rope.
-
You know, I want creative team to be here, I want worship to be
-
here.
-
But it takes a special person to say, wait a second, how does this
-
all come together to make an engine?
-
Because in the empathy that we build, where it's like, wait a second,
-
everybody, let's listen to Josh.
-
What's he seeing?
-
Wait a second, let's listen to Evan.
-
Because we're not expanding the kingdom.
-
We need to reach new.
-
And they're not coming to our church.
-
We gotta get them in the movie theaters.
-
We got them.
-
Wait a second, we gotta listen to the pastors.
-
Because we have people whose marriages are falling apart.
-
They're saved, but they're not sanctified.
-
And I think what we've been working on together is building an
-
engine.
-
And this is the word that the Lord gave me when we were in Willow
-
Creek.
-
So the day two of the Breakers Conference, we actually were granted
-
an unprecedented opportunity to be in one of the largest churches
-
in America, Willow Creek, which was the origin of the seeker
-
sensitive movement.
-
So literally where the fivefold died in America is the soil
-
of that church.
-
And I say that, you know, in all seriousness because they basically
-
said, we're going to be evangelists and we're going to be
-
teachers and preachers and shepherds, but we're not.
-
There is no apostolic and there is no prophetic, you know,
-
so ironically, which.
-
Those are the two gifts that launched the church.
-
So you see how they were the first ones to be removed from the
-
church.
-
And so.
-
But the thing I honor about Willow Creek in this era is when
-
they, when we asked them, can we use their building realistically,
-
they should have said no, but they said, wait a second.
-
We're going to honor the apostolic and we're going to honor
-
the prophetic.
-
And I didn't know that, but they had staff members praying and
-
fasting that they would experience revival in their building.
-
And right there in that building where that seeker sensitive
-
movement started.
-
And by the way, Long island, the only significant churches on
-
Long island for the last 20 to 30 years are seeker sensitive.
-
What does that mean?
-
We're not speaking in tongues on the microphone.
-
We're not casting out demons publicly.
-
We're not.
-
That's seeker sensitive.
-
We're going to make you comfortable.
-
We're never going to go over 70, 80 minutes of a service.
-
Let's keep it short.
-
How comfortable can we make people?
-
So we're coming here saying, how uncomfortable can we make them?
-
Because that's where the deliverance happens.
-
That's where the freedom happens.
-
That's where the growth happens.
-
How uncomfortable?
-
And then, guess what?
-
You'll feel the comfort of being uncomfortable.
-
In other words, yay, you'll actually be free.
-
Right?
-
Instead of just highly caffeinated and sleepy.
-
So could.
-
So here's my point.
-
When we were at Willow Creek for day two of breakers and I preached
-
Joel 2 and Acts 2 and man, hundreds upon hundreds of people
-
received the gift of tongues.
-
Hundreds and hundreds of people received various gifts of
-
prophecy or whatever.
-
I believed it was the sign of the last will be first, and the first
-
will be last.
-
And so I even believe from here on Long island, this church
-
represents a sign of the last.
-
Last will be first and the first will be last.
-
And I.
-
And.
-
But I want to honor the other churches that exist here.
-
But I believe that we are going to create a holy jealousy when
-
they see what revival, sustainable revival looks like.
-
Because we also believe that God is not a God of disorder, but
-
he is a God of order.
-
But it's order within the fivefold.
-
And that's why you inspired me.
-
It's all of it coming together to say like, no, no, no, we're not
-
crazy either, but.
-
So this is what I was gonna say.
-
Fire in your living room kills you.
-
Fire in the fireplace keeps you warm.
-
When you take fire out of context, it's destructive.
-
But when you put fire in the right context, it's protective.
-
And so what we've been doing is we've been building the infrastructure
-
for holy fire to say, no, no, the fire of the.
-
Of Pinnacle Pentecostalism could be destructive.
-
But we have teachers, we have prophets, we have evangelists.
-
Like, no, no, like yeah.
-
Yes.
-
We're building a fire, but we're building it, or another way
-
of saying it, bringing it back to the picture of the engine is an
-
engine is a controlled explosion.
-
So an explosion without an engine kills people, but an explosion
-
in an engine propels the car forward.
-
So we're building this thing together to say, no, no, we need
-
explosions, but we it controlled explosion within the engine
-
of the fivefold.
-
So execa.
-
I'd love to hear from you because God has used you even in
-
your past to administrate moves and to administrate.
-
And God is bringing you now into this season, and you're working
-
within V1 college, you're working with Long Island.
-
There's a big vision gift on your life to administrate.
-
And you're only stepping into the beginnings of this next season.
-
And it's a big, big vision.
-
And God's given you a lot of grace.
-
So what do you see for everybody watching?
-
Well, first, I want to thank you, Apostle.
-
I don't know if you knew this, but since I was young and I.
-
And I grew up in church, born and raised in church, and born and
-
raised in the island and went to a few churches in Long island,
-
when there was a prophetic word over my life of being a pastor,
-
I would look them in the eyes and say no.
-
And it's because I saw a lot of things behind the scenes were
-
of being hurt by pastors.
-
But Apostle, you called us out, Danny and I, and I feel safe.
-
And that's what I want people to know, that this is a safe place.
-
Because I've been to churches and I didn't feel safe.
-
Which is why when there was a prophetic word given to me, I would
-
just look them in the eyes and say no and walk away.
-
And we all know Apostle has shared the story of how I felt like
-
it was Jonah, where I was, like, running away from it.
-
And what I see now is if this is you and if this speaks to you,
-
is that in a new space, in a new venue, a harvest of souls coming
-
in from all places, broken, hurt, in pain.
-
And this is a safe place.
-
This is going to be a place of refuge.
-
And I see that when they come into this building, there's going
-
to be miracles happening, restoration happening, healing happening
-
in the name of Jesus.
-
And that's going to happen, and that's going to cause revival
-
to pour out into, outside of this building, all around us.
-
And as soon as they come in through that door, not one sheep
-
is going to be lost because we're in a safe place.
-
Apostle, the way you do church, I've never seen.
-
And I've been part of many administrations.
-
For 12 years, I worked as a.
-
I did so many things.
-
And you also showed me how to serve in a healthy way, how to, like,
-
prioritize in a healthy way, which in all the places that I've
-
served, I never learned that.
-
But being under your leadership, you showed me that.
-
That serving the Lord and having so much joy in serving and
-
seeing the fruit of our labor.
-
Wow.
-
And that's what's happening.
-
So I think when you say the grace of administration, that's.
-
I think it's because I've been under your leadership, and I've even
-
said it many times when, you know, you're, like, teaching us and
-
showing us.
-
And I'm taking notes.
-
I've said that to, like, people in the outside community,
-
and now they're taking notes.
-
Literally, they know they're taking notes from an apostle, you
-
know, like, so it's amazing to just now be healthy and finally say
-
yes.
-
I can say yes.
-
I could keep saying yes.
-
And I'm never going to be a Jonah again, where I'm saying no.
-
Like, no excuses from there, because I was the queen of excuses.
-
I could, like, I'm telling you, I will come up with any excuse,
-
but no more excuses.
-
So I see a harvest of souls now that we have it built in.
-
I see revival.
-
I see healing.
-
I see restoration.
-
And like we all have been saying, all ages, all backgrounds,
-
all cultures, this is going to reflect what the kingdom is.
-
Mm, man.
-
While you're talking, I'm just, like, looking around, just
-
thinking, like, I can't believe we did it.
-
I can't believe we got here.
-
And it's like the fact that we got here is the sign that we're going
-
to go all the way.
-
And I kept getting visions of, like, this lobby area and just people
-
being like, I don't have to leave now.
-
You might have to lock up, but you don't have to leave.
-
And it's like, we've never really had that.
-
And I think when I think about family, it's like, you know, sometimes
-
when you're the product of a divorce, you get visitation rights,
-
but, like, we're going to exchange visitation for inhabitation,
-
where it's like, this is the habitation of the Lord, like, we
-
don't have to leave.
-
You might have to lock up, but you don't have to leave.
-
And I feel something on that, you know?
-
And it's like thinking about you you know, having Easton.
-
And by the way, Easton's already preaching.
-
He don't know what he's saying yet, but the gift's flowing.
-
He's just.
-
Every video I see, he's like.
-
And I'm like, I don't know what he's prophesying, but it's working.
-
Keep going, son.
-
But it's like to think about that, you know?
-
And our girls are best friends.
-
And I look at them, and they're like little women now, you
-
know, and they have their own little world.
-
And it's like, you are.
-
So.
-
The mother says, I have so much pain.
-
I've seen all the administrations.
-
I've seen the behind the scenes.
-
But then your daughter's like, yeah, I don't know about that.
-
All I know is I just remember us at Free Women Collective.
-
I remember me and Everly in the back.
-
It's like, what they know is so different.
-
It's like we're the generation that says, do you remember the wilderness?
-
And then some of us say, do you remember Egypt?
-
Egypt was worse than the wilderness.
-
And then the next generation says, yeah, but do you remember we
-
had to kill all those giants?
-
But then the next generation is like, what wilderness?
-
What slavery and what giants?
-
Like, that's the next generation.
-
Like, your son's like, what are you talking about?
-
I have a pet hamster.
-
I don't know about rats, you know, but that's why we do this,
-
because they'll never know.
-
A stone of remembrance.
-
Yeah, that's what this is.
-
It's a remembrance.
-
And I want to bring it all back.
-
And I want to honor Dean.
-
And the reason why I want to honor Dean is because, you know,
-
really at the head of the table, at the beginning, really was
-
Dean.
-
Because when Dean came into the picture, I was an orphan.
-
I was not an apostle.
-
I was an orphan.
-
And he's not my biological father.
-
And yet we were at a steakhouse, and he sat me down in
-
front of everybody at a table just like this.
-
And he said, the inheritance from my life right now, I'm choosing
-
to pass it to you, and you are my son.
-
And he handed that and broke something off of me that enabled
-
me to become what I.
-
What I am today.
-
And so I honor you.
-
And, you know, it's like, anybody can get up and flash people
-
with these words or whatever, but who's passing inheritances?
-
That's the true father.
-
That's the true one.
-
And I.
-
I feel like for us, it's like, even with these churches, a lot of
-
churches are having services, but they're not having inheritances.
-
So it's like, that is what we're fighting for.
-
And I learned that from you and you.
-
And so I just want to thank you and honor you and you.
-
You know, it's funny because Execa says, I'm not going to be.
-
She'll look at a prophet.
-
You ain't telling me I'm no pastor, you know, but it's like,
-
that was Dean.
-
I'm not going to Long Island.
-
I ain't gonna.
-
You know, listen, I'm going to Florida.
-
I'm going here.
-
I'm going there.
-
But then he said, nevertheless.
-
And this goes full circle now as we close, because we're coming
-
to an end now.
-
And I wanted to bring it full circle because, you know, you just
-
boldly ask people to surrender.
-
And I think sometimes when you see pastors, everybody watching thinks,
-
oh, we all want to do this, you know, it's like, no.
-
It's literally the opposite.
-
No, God, please.
-
Please, Lord, let me go to Florida.
-
Lord.
-
Harvey's sitting there watching him for right now.
-
I'm so mad at you, bro.
-
Did you ever complain to me, right?
-
But it's like.
-
It's like.
-
But no, you know, Lord, please let me go to.
-
No, Lord, please let me work this job and get this and all the
-
benefits on the Lord's like, pick up the cross, walk and just.
-
Let's walk now.
-
It's time.
-
Pick it up.
-
No, Lord, please.
-
But I will tell you this.
-
It's so much better his way.
-
It's so much better his way.
-
And now that we've gone on this journey, I wouldn't trade it.
-
I would.
-
You know, a lot of people, they lay up in their bed because
-
we're all going to have that moment when we lay, we put our feet
-
up and we're breathing our last breath.
-
And all those thoughts.
-
I will tell you this.
-
I don't have no regrets, and I wouldn't change it.
-
And when we signed for this building, you know what I said?
-
It was worth the fight.
-
It was worth the fight.
-
Oh, those Long Islanders annoyed me so much, I wanted to leave
-
them, abandon them, these suckers.
-
That's the nicest word I can say on film.
-
But the Lord says, mike, they're wounded.
-
Don't give up on them.
-
The Long Islanders are an exceedingly great army.
-
They just.
-
They're dry bones.
-
Keep prophesying those bones, son.
-
Don't give up on them.
-
You know, and then the New Yorkers, you know, New York, you
-
don't know New York.
-
City, who cares?
-
You know, I'd be so mad.
-
But each year as it goes, you know, same thing with Indiana, same
-
thing with South Florida.
-
This is to Harvey and Jess.
-
You know, they're saying, I wish I was on Long Island.
-
We're saying, we're.
-
We're swearing for.
-
We should do a program where we swap, you know?
-
You know what I mean?
-
Come out here and you experience it.
-
My point is, it's when we commit fully, then the Lord takes
-
us on that journey.
-
We say, I wouldn't have done it any other way.
-
So here's what I want to do.
-
And then I'm going to ask Papa Dean to close us out and close us
-
out in prayer.
-
I'm not into building audiences.
-
Anybody can go viral.
-
Anybody can, you know, but what I'm into is family.
-
And that's what this is.
-
This is family.
-
This is true spiritual family.
-
And it was worth the fight.
-
And I cherish these relationships.
-
And I believe that as you've been watching this, the Lord is showing
-
you something.
-
And so here's what I want you to do.
-
In the description of the video.
-
Remember in the beginning, I asked you to take your phone out
-
and comment and just turn the volume down.
-
It's because this is supposed to be interactive, so hopefully you
-
still got your phone.
-
And I want you to go into the description, and I want you to start
-
making some choices.
-
Signing up for the 365 day devotional.
-
Signing up for a ground crew, a flight crew.
-
Signing up.
-
Like, it's more than a sign up.
-
It's.
-
It's an enlistment.
-
Every army has an enrollment, and if you don't show up, they say
-
you're going awol.
-
So my thing is, when we look at these lists, it's an enlistment.
-
So every class has a roster.
-
And when you're the teacher in the five fold and you're taking role
-
and you're like, absent, absent, absent.
-
Like, no, no, we want to say present, present, present, present.
-
And this is your opportunity to do that right now.
-
But then I want to be bold because all of us are just living
-
in someone else's.
-
Yes.
-
And I want to be bold that I would ask because this is technically
-
the last Sunday right before the year changes over, which means
-
you have one more opportunity.
-
And I know that my family and I were giving a very large gift financially.
-
And so as you're watching from the nations, you can see that we
-
need to do a lot of work.
-
And so I'm just gonna ask one more time, and then we're gonna pray.
-
Would you consider partnering with us financially?
-
We got into the building and now we need to go all the way.
-
And I believe it's going to be because of your yes right now just
-
saying whatever God tells you to give and I believe that it's gonna
-
be done.
-
I believe it's gonna be done.
-
So thank you in advance for tapping the link giving right now
-
in this moment and Papa Dean, would you just.
-
You gave a father's blessing.
-
So Father, we just come together right now, God as a corporate
-
family, Lord.
-
And we thank you that God that you have brought us all here for
-
a reason.
-
Father God, it's our yes that is promoting what you're building.
-
So Father I thank you for each member here and all the ones that
-
aren't here.
-
God and all our congregates.
-
Father, I thank you that God you.
-
You are our father and we're here to see legacy become a part
-
of all this.
-
That our children and children children will be running the banner
-
of V1 Lord.
-
And we thank you.
-
We thank you for our apostle Mike.
-
We thank you for our prophet Josh.
-
God, we thank you for all the members here that stand Father and
-
stand on your word that God it's truth.
-
So Father, reveal to us.
-
Give us more vision, give us more insight to reach the nations
-
God.
-
That God, there's many out there that are dying.
-
That God we want them all.
-
I just see the picture of all that God you have sent before us,
-
God.
-
That God, we're all in check.
-
God.
-
We're all in check on our our.
-
On our hearts, our souls and our mind.
-
That God you are filling us up.
-
So God, thank you for preparing a table for all of us right
-
here, right now.
-
And let us stand and know that you are God.
-
In Jesus name we pray.
-
Amen.
-
Wow.
-
So good.
-
We love you guys.
-
See you next Sunday at all of our physical locations.
-
We're.
-
We're back.
-
Love you so much.
-
Hey, see you Sunday.
