Revival, perseverance, and prayer
Strike the Ground
Mike Signorelli sermon | Published November 20, 2025 | 32 minutes
Beginning in Ephesus and ending with Elisha’s command to strike the ground, Mike Signorelli preaches against passive, half-finished obedience. The message calls believers to receive what they have not yet experienced, resist lukewarm faith, and keep praying until obedience is complete.
Big idea
Do not stop short of the obedience God has asked for. Spiritual hunger, surrender, and persistent prayer prepare believers to receive and steward more of God’s work.
