During this pivotal election time, Pastor Mike Signorelli of V1 Church is encouraging Christians to seek the Holy Spirit above all else.
“This is a war over identity,” Signorelli says. “And don’t be seduced by a party that will give you an identity, but not a salvation.”

Signorelli points out the importance of voting, and that we as Christians must seek the Scriptures to find what is the good and pleasing will of God and to cast our ballots in accordance to the truths we find in the Bible. Signorelli also says it is the principles in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 of living quiet lives, walking properly and being dependent on none other than God that we need to aspire toward.
“I asked the Lord, ‘What would the apostles of old say?'” Signorelli says of his time of prayer and fasting for this sermon in specific. “Because sometimes these pastors have selfish ambition. Sometimes, these pastors are doing things out of pride. Sometimes, these pastors are doing things with ulterior motives, and you can’t trust pastors now-a-days because pastors have their own ambitions…”
Signorelli further talked about one of the key tenants of Christian living that many people and pastors completely skip out on: the purpose of faithfulness.
“Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,” Signorelli says. “Long after the election, long after the riots, long after the fights, who’s going to be faithful?”
Signorelli points out that instead of waiting for the government to take care of the people, he’s going to step in and care for them as God has asked him to. It is not the government’s job to be the church; it is our job as the body of Christ to do His good work.
“People are going to vote a politician to do something that you were called to do with your life,” says Signorelli. “It’s about the dove. We are the answer. If you removed every righteous person from this nation, it would be destroyed in a day…you are the reason God has withheld His hand of judgment upon this nation because you are here. So, it’s about faithfulness.”
