How do you actually grow in discernment? Is it more information? More research? More spiritual experiences?

In this prophetic and deeply practical message, Apostle Mike Signorelli confronts one of the biggest misconceptions in the modern church: that discernment comes primarily through knowledge. Instead, he reveals the biblical truth that discernment increases through obedience.

Using powerful examples from Scripture—including Naaman, Paul, Moses, Joseph, and Proverbs 3—this sermon exposes how fear, pride, trauma, self-reliance, and “leaning on your own understanding” distort spiritual clarity. Apostle Mike unpacks why many believers are not actually confused—they’re struggling to trust God enough to obey what He already said.

This message is both pastoral and prophetic, dealing directly with anxiety, double-mindedness, surrender, spiritual maturity, relationships, finances, sexuality, and the internal battle between flesh and faith. It’s a call to stop trying to control every outcome and instead learn how to fully lean on the Holy Spirit.

You’ll also hear a powerful revelation on Naaman dipping seven times in the Jordan River, why repeated obedience matters, and how God often heals far more than the problem you originally brought to Him.

This sermon will challenge your thinking, expose hidden idols of self-sufficiency, and call you into deeper surrender.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why discernment grows through obedience—not just information

• The danger of leaning on your own understanding

• How fear and anxiety are connected to self-reliance

• What double-mindedness actually is according to Scripture

• Why God often says “no” before He says “yes”

• The spiritual significance of Naaman dipping seven times

• How surrender positions you for greater authority and maturity

• Why repeated obedience unlocks transformation

God is not trying to confuse you.

He’s trying to mature you.

I want to share something because right now we're living in incredibly confusing times. And many of you are just inundated with information and you're trying to make decisions. And this is going to be another prophetic sermon because as we've been journeying through the book of Acts together, I'm going to take you back to all over the Bible here in the next several moments. But right now you're faced with life decisions, decisions about your finances, decisions about your health, decisions about relationships, decisions about your future. And as I've been a pastor for the last two decades and I've facilitated hundreds upon hundreds of pastoral counseling meetings one to one or one to the couples, I've noticed that many Christians love to hide behind the excuse of "I am confused." I don't know what to do. I'm confused. And I have come to learn over all of the years of faithful shepherding that most Christians are not confused. They're disobedient. Oh, come on. This church is really safe. They all clapped here on Long Island. And oftentimes we know what to do, but we lack the faith to do it. And so my prayer as I begin this message, Lord, is that you release a supernatural impartation of faith because I don't believe the root is rebellion. Even though it's disobedience, it's a lack of faith. It's not rebellion. It's a lack of faith. It's fear that is keeping many of them bound. So Father, under the sound of my voice, perfect love casts out all fear. And I thank you, God, that your love is going to drive out fear and faith is going to replace fear. And they're going to leave this message change. And everybody said, Amen, amen, amen. So some of us, we are guilty of leaning on our own understanding. You know, I was telling my 19-year-old daughter the other day about stories from when I was in college, stories of my 20s, stories of my 30s. And as I was telling her these stories, you know, I thought that as her dad, I was telling my daughter what it was like to live life and how I've navigated the complexities of modern culture and all of the things that we struggle with. And I really thought I was equipping my daughter. And then all of a sudden Bella looks at me and she goes, I got a question for you, Dad. As you have figured all those things out over the many years of your life, is it hard for you to trust God? And I said, what do you mean, babe? And she said, well, it seems to me like you've gotten really good at figuring things out for yourself. Probably the more you figure things out for yourself, the less you are able to trust God. And I was like, rebuked taken my young padawan. But it's true, the person that I trust most in life is me. Anybody know what I'm talking about? When people walked out, I just kicked it up a notch and went to the next level. When nobody gave me money, I just went out and made money. When nobody could help me, I helped myself. So what happens is I begin to become more confident in me. And it ironically made it harder for me to trust God. And oftentimes the lower our level of trust is in God, the higher our anxiety levels are in life. Because if it's on me, it's on my strength and I've got limited strength, if it's on me, it's on my understanding, I have limited mental capacities, if it's on me, I've got limited finances. And so I want to go to the root of this and we're going to look at it because there's this truth is that every single one of us is leaning on something all the time. We all lean. Everybody's leaning. It's just what are you leaning on? And we're going to look at proverbs to start because this is the book of wisdom and we're going to get progressively deeper into the scriptures. Because this is what I'm going to start with, one of the most famous scriptures that you've heard quoted, but it really speaks to our illusions of control and the behaviors that we build around it. So let me read it with you. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Can we just stop there? What does Disney tell us? Trust your heart. But the Bible says that your heart is deceitfully wicked above an evil above all things. So of culture, wouldn't it be the most Luciferian, demonic, conspiratorial agenda to get an entire generation to trust their heart when Satan knows that our heart is a lie factory. It's a deception factory. Our heart lies all day and all night long. It lies in our dreams. Come on, some of the women having dreams about their spouse cheating on them, waking up wanting to slap them in the face.

We are conspiracy factories. We have whole strongholds built up in our mind about how people feel about
