Trusting God: Mike Signorelli’s Message of Faith in Hardship
At the Breakers Conference held at Now Arena in Chicago, Illinois, Pastor Mike Signorelli delivers a powerful message about faith, resilience and the divine purpose that underpins the struggles of believers. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one’s spiritual journey, particularly in times of adversity.
“Welcome to the birthing room,” he begins, encouraging attendees to embrace the pressure that comes with their spiritual journeys. He acknowledges the journey can be difficult, but within those hardships God has a purpose for every one of us. “It’s not about the algorithm,” he says. “It’s about the anointing.” He stresses that true success and favor come from a relationship with God rather than worldly metrics.

Signorelli shares his personal story of overcoming extreme poverty, recounting his childhood struggles. “Somebody has to say, ‘I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired,'” he says. His journey from hardship to ministry leadership exemplifies his belief that change is possible when one is willing to embrace God’s calling. “You can’t cheat your way through this. You gotta go through,” he emphasizes, urging the audience to remain steadfast in their faith, even when times get tough.
Signorelli then passionately opens up about his belief in the faithfulness of God by recounting a personal story that began with a simple stove. “The Lord told me this morning, ‘Michael, when you walk into the stadium today, you need to know that it all started with the stove,’” Signorelli says. He explains that, 25 years ago, when his family was struggling in poverty, a pastor delivered a donated stove to their home, sparking a journey that would transform their lives. “I took your poverty and I used it to deliver a stove,” God reminded him, connecting that moment to his presence on the conference stage.
Reflecting on the parallels between his journey and God’s promise to Abraham, Signorelli adds, “When God gave the promise to Abraham, it was 25 years until he had his son, and 25 years from the story of the stove, I stand on this stage today.” His story is a testament to the perfection of God’s timing, and His promises are always fulfilled, even if they take years to come to fruition.
As the conference unfolds, Signorelli implores fellow believers to seize the moment and deepen their relationship with God. “Sometimes you’ve got to get in the [birthing] room so something can be released to you,” he says, reminding everyone of the power and presence of God even in our darkest moments.
This powerful testimony and call for a renewed faith in the Lord leaves us with a call to action: Dig deeper into your relationship with God. Push through and endure the difficult times. As it says in James 4:8, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” This is a reminder that faith is an active journey, one Christians must embark on to pursue a closer connection with Jesus Christ.
