Oh, I want more

spirituality.

They talk about that today.

I want to manifest the universe.

I want an aura.

You know what I'm saying? Good intentions, but wrong way.

Come on, somebody.

I do it over the windowsills.

Open your hearts and let God speak through this message.

All right.

So I love the, I love, we're going to wrap this up.

And I love the book of Colossians because Colossians hits some of the most important themes that you and I as believers need to know.

So you have to understand that these letters or the letter to the church in Colossae is really, they're called epistles.

An epistle is a fancy word for letters.

So the apostle Paul was in prison while he would write these.

Come on, somebody.

Open your hearts and let God speak through this message.

Come on, I believe lives are going to be changed today.

I believe that faith is going to be filled.

Come on, I believe I'm prophesying over your life today that God's about to do something big in the mighty name of Jesus.

Come on, and everybody say it.

amen and amen amen um before we begin number one if you are from the military we want to welcome you to church i know you might be scoping it out trying to find get the lay of the land what church you want to go to we want to welcome you from the military if you're not from the military and you're still looking for a church i hope this is this becomes your church um i want to welcome this guy right here rodney arias come on i don't know if you know him but it's good to have him back on worship And he was the kahu, the shepherd, one of the kahus at Kamehameha Schools.

But he's a good man, and good to have him back.

I've agonized for you.

Open your hearts and let God speak through this message.

We love you, Lord.

We give you the glory, the honor, and the praise in Jesus' name.

And everybody said, I want you to open your Bibles to, as I said, 2 Kings chapter 18.

And we're going to be in chapters 18 and 19.

It's really interesting because I love this passage of Scripture because we've been looking at...

The kind of passages of scriptures where your back is against the wall, that when you are faced with insurmountable odds in your life, that God comes through when you put your trust in him, when you put your faith in him.

And if you want more resources, like Pastor Mike's newest book, Blow Your Mind, head over to mikekai.tv. All right, let's lean in, open your hearts, and let God speak through this message.

[upbeat music] I'm so excited.

If you are new to Hawaii, new to Inspire Church, we wanna welcome, all we wanna say is welcome home.

Welcome home.

I, uh, I would say look no further.

Um, when it comes to the military mixing with people born and raised here, moved here, I can't think of a better church.

I would come here if I wasn't the pastor.

Widow.

She's a widow.

She's a, she, she lost her, her husband.

From, from what? A widow from what? A member of the group of prophets.

Her husband was a prophet.

And, and she came to Elisha and cried out, she said, "My husband, who served you, is dead, and you know how he feared the Lord." Think about everything that she is saying to him in this moment.

"But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my s- two sons as slaves." Back then, if you couldn't pay your debts, come on, they don't want, they wouldn't repo your car.

Oh.

I think about the fame and the flame of revival, and part of what Pastor Bev s- spoke to me about three years ago, w- came at a moment where I was...

It's, it's incredible in how this all works out.

We all knew this thing came, uh, called COVID happened to the world.

This pandemic's, you know, s- plandemic, whatever, whatever it is.

[laughs] Scamdemic.

Oh.
