What if the deepest issue in your life isn’t behavior—it’s identity?

In this powerful and deeply personal message, Apostle Mike Signorelli unpacks one of the most transformative truths in all of Scripture: God is not just your Creator—He is your Father.

Drawing from his own story of growing up with father wounds, rejection, and abandonment, Apostle Mike reveals how many believers unknowingly live with an orphan spirit. They love, serve, give, strive, perform, and compete—not from sonship, but from a desperate attempt to earn belonging, approval, and significance.

Through a profound study of 1 John 3:1, he explores the phrase “What manner of love is this?” and uncovers its original meaning: “From what country did this love come?” The love of the Father is so foreign to the human experience that even the Apostle John struggled to find language for it.

This message exposes the roots of the orphan heart, the hidden ways it affects relationships, ministry, success, leadership, and self-worth, and the freedom that comes when believers finally embrace their identity as sons and daughters of God.

You’ll also discover a fresh perspective on the Prodigal Son, not as the story of a rebellious child, but as the story of a Father who runs.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What the orphan spirit is and how it develops

• Why many Christians serve God from striving instead of sonship

• How father wounds shape identity, relationships, and faith

• The biblical meaning behind “What manner of love is this?”

• Why success can become dangerous without healing and sonship

• How adoption into God’s family changes everything

• The significance of the Father running toward the prodigal son

• How to break free from performance, rejection, and insecurity

You were never created to live as an orphan.

The Father has been running toward you the entire time.

(upbeat music) - Okay, so I wanna ask you a question to start. When is the last time that someone physically took off running to get to you? I'm not talking about jogging. I'm not talking about walking fast. I'm talking like they hitched up their pant legs and ran towards you to get to you. For most of us, no one has ever loved us that much. I recently just got back. Yeah, my wife is like, I do. I just got back from Asia. I took a 19-hour flight to the other side of the planet, which is crazy. And then a 19-hour flight back, and I was in the airport and Julie just took off. It was like the notebook, you know? The rain was coming down. So it was a powerful, powerful time. But for most of us, I mean, that thought of somebody running to get to us. And we think about that in life. Like somebody caring enough for us that they would physically run to get to us. But I want to take a look at the Bible today. And this is going to be unlike anything that you have probably heard in a service, but I need you to really go there with me because our time is finite. And I'm expecting the Lord to do a lot in a little bit of time. Can I get an amen on that? So let's suppose that you were to read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. And let's suppose that you went and through the entire Old Testament. So Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, do you know it? Okay, so in Singapore, they don't know that song, by the way. So if you were to read the first 39 books, the first, which is the Old Testament, this is thousands of years, the whole story from creation and covenant all the way to the call of the nation of Israel, God is specifically called Father about 15 times. So 39 books of the entire Old Testament from Genesis all the way to Malachi and God is specifically called Father about 15 times. Then Jesus shows up.
