In Part Three of It’s About Time, Pastor Mike Darnell exposes why so many people, even believers, stay trapped in the emotional, financial, and spiritual “ups and downs” of the world and how to break out for good. Most people are not in a “God-given season”; they’re in cycles created by cultural conditioning, natural education, and double-mindedness. Wherever you have two educations—Kingdom and earthly—you will always have alternating seasons. But the Kingdom of God does not have seasons, shifts, or fluctuations. The Kingdom is stable, unchanging, and perpetually fruitful because God Himself never changes.

The sun, moon, stars, and natural patterns were never meant to predict your life, purpose, harvest, or blessing. They are symbols, not sources. Many people, including religious systems, still try to discern God’s movement through atmospheres, calendars, and external cycles, but the Bible reveals that seasons are not spiritual indicators; they are natural signs of a fallen world. You are not meant to follow creation. You are meant to have dominion over it.

Real transformation happens when the veil is removed in Christ, giving you revelation to see beyond the natural realm. When you turn fully to the Lord, you stop living by temporary moments and begin living from glory to glory instead of “season to season.”

You don’t have to be tossed by the economy, politics, astrology, zodiac “energies,” earthly seasons, or cultural cycles. You don’t have to interpret your life through those means or emotional waves. You can live anchored, unmoved, and always increasing because your life is sourced by glory, not nature.

This message challenges you to stop defining yourself by your moments, stop withdrawing during pressure, and stop assuming God placed you in cycles. Pressure should drive you deeper into God, into prayer, worship, revelation, and consistency. Trouble is not a sign you’re out of season; it is a sign that promotion is happening and glory is maturing in you.

Learn how to refuse the earth’s cycles, break the power of double-mindedness, interpret affliction correctly, and step into the constant, unshakable rhythm of the Kingdom, where there are no barren seasons but only increasing glory, stability, and divine alignment.

In Part Two of It’s About Time, Pastor Mike Darnell explains how Kingdom timing really works and why you can’t afford to stay trapped in the cycles of the world. God is not waiting on calendar dates but on proper order: the right people, mindset, priorities, and schedule in place, personally and corporately, so that what heaven has already finished can be released in the earth.

It’s vital that you understand times and seasons because you don’t have to feel stuck, always “waiting on your moment,” or riding the ups and downs of the economy, politics, religious routines, or demonic zodiac “seasons.” It’s time to move from survival mode to divine purpose, choosing God’s plans over protecting your comfort, and refusing to let your compassion or guilt be weaponized. You don’t have to live at the mercy of external seasons. You can live rooted, fruitful, and prosperous in every season by following the Holy Spirit, staying in position, and fulfilling your Kingdom assignment.

Learn to recognize where you’ve been following earth’s cycles and how to live in the perpetual “Kingdom season” of abundance, obedience, and purpose.

In Part One of the new series, It’s About Time, Pastor Mike Darnell teaches the true meaning of time and seasons.

Using the fig tree (Mark 11), we are taught that in the Kingdom it is always harvest time. Seasons of lack, sickness, etc. are not destiny; they reveal where we need to grow. Your maturity, your renewed mind, determines the fruit you experience. The “appointed time” isn’t a date on a calendar as much as the intersection of your maturity with what God already prepared. As you repent and mature, sowing and reaping compress, and what once took years can become instant. Entry is through repentance, a dimensional shift from natural law and religious thinking to Kingdom thinking. In that realm, you are no longer a victim of earth’s cycles; you live from God’s present rule.

You can shorten bad seasons by embracing revelation instead of waiting on circumstances. Learn to discern the seasons of your life, family, and even your nation; not judging merely by appearances, but by fruit and assignment.

It’s time to wake up to a new season: renew your mind, stay rooted in the assembly, and align with God’s appointments so you live above earthly cycles and walk in continual fruitfulness.

In the final installment of the What’s Love? Series, Pastor Mike Darnell reveals the secret threat to your faith: letting your love for God grow cold.
Love is not just an emotion — it is the environment that shapes how you think, what you trust, and who you become. Whoever loved you first — culture, upbringing, relationships, or the world — programmed your mindset and formed your identity. That’s why many believers feel torn between God and the world: they are trying to live in the Kingdom with a mind trained somewhere else.

God’s goal is not to improve the old mindset — He wants to give you His mind. Kingdom citizenship requires compatibility, because you can’t operate in God’s authority, economy, and promises with loyalties shaped by earthly systems. His love doesn’t just comfort — it educates, corrects, and retrains you to function in His Kingdom.

Love is attention.
Whatever receives your attention receives your power. When you focus on fear, lack, or old loyalties, you keep them alive.
But when you redirect your affection toward God, you step into the only environment where faith actually works.

“Faith works through love.” — Galatians 5:6

God’s love creates compatibility by training your mind to think like Him. As your love stays focused on God, you stop being a visitor to His world and become a true citizen — steadfast, loyal, and unshaken under pressure.

Stay loyal. Stay on fire for God. Don’t let your love grow cold.

In this powerful message, Pastor Mike Darnell breaks down how love is more than emotion—it’s a governing force that shapes how you think, live, and identify yourself. From the book of Hosea, he reveals how God uses love not to comfort dysfunction but to transform identity and pull His people out of cultural conditioning and false relationships that have replaced Him.

This teaching exposes how generations have been programmed to love what God never intended—how wrong influences, cultural loyalty, and even family traditions can become spiritual adultery. Pastor Mike challenges listeners to recognize how race, culture, and belief systems are programmed patterns, not divine design, and how God’s love is calling us back to our original Kingdom identity.

Through this message, you’ll learn what it truly means to let God love you—to be reprogrammed by His Spirit, healed from false identities, and restored to purpose. Love doesn’t leave you the same; it changes everything about you.

If you’ve ever wondered why your past keeps repeating or why it’s hard to break away from certain cycles, this message will open your eyes to the deeper truth about love, influence, and spiritual inheritance.

This message dives into John 3 and Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus to uncover what it truly means to be born again—not a one-time prayer, but a Spirit-led re-training of the mind into Kingdom culture. Pastor Mike exposes how “darkness” often looks like familiar training—culture, traditions, preferences, even family norms—and why many reject the light because their deeds are shaped by those loyalties. You’ll hear why shouting can’t substitute for repentance and obedience, how real love functions as formation (whoever loves you shapes you), and why God’s Kingdom challenges every sphere of life—identity, money, relationships, education, and governance. If you’ve been trying to add the Kingdom on top of worldly ideas, this teaching calls you to let God’s love reprogram you, leave the old boxes, and live from the light that transforms everything.🎓 Kingdom Mentorship & Excel University:https://courses.kingdommentorship.com⛪️ Visit Excel Church:https://www.excelchurchatlanta.com📚 More Kingdom Resources from Pastor Mike Darnell:https://linktr.ee/mikedarnell🎙️ Podcast Home:https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/mike-darnell/

In this message, Pastor Ghilaine Darnell teaches six attributes that reveal what God’s love truly is. The world defines love through emotion and preference, but the Kingdom true love can only be defined through understanding the King and His Kingdom. God’s love chastens, forgives, restores, humbles, and transforms.

When we love God’s way, families are healed, relationships are strengthened, and hearts are made whole. You cannot live out this kind of love without the Holy Spirit, who teaches you how to love like God loves. We are the God kind, and it’s time to stop letting the world define love. Learn the God kind of love—the only love that brings true transformation and fulfills the Kingdom mandate of bringing Heaven to earth.

What is shaping you? What is shaping your life?

Who are you allowing to love you?
Do you truly understand love the way you need to?

In part one of the new sermon series What’s Love?, Pastor Mike Darnell lays the foundation of what love really is and reveals its impact on your life and your faith. It is vital that you fully understand the concept of love.

When people misunderstand love, they use it as a label to excuse or protect their lifestyles. But we must not think that our version of love is greater than God’s love. It’s time to awaken to true love and allow God to transform you.

Unless a person is born again—given a new nature and trained in it—they remain incompatible with the Kingdom. You must be reprogrammed, born of the Spirit, in order to live in the Kingdom and see it manifest in your life.

Understand this: whoever loves you shapes you. Whoever meets your needs becomes the one you grow loyal to.

Love can be deceptive, which is why you must learn how to discern it.

God is trying to give you your future, but you cannot receive it while clinging to an old condition. He loves you so much that He will allow everything to shake and even fail if that’s what it takes to get your attention.

Everything God has for you only works by His design. When you resist His love, you resist the very shaping that makes you able to receive what He has prepared.

So allow God to transform you through His love.
Listen to What’s Love? Part One now, and let God bring true transformation into your life.

This message closes the Bible School series by calling believers to grasp the intention of Scripture rather than inherit cultural or flesh-based worldviews. It exposes dualism, race/political identities, and influencer “church criticism” as barriers to truth, and re-centers the Kingdom: one King, one people, one power. Through John 16–17, Numbers 13–14, and the body metaphor, it shows how belief and expectation shape outcomes and why discipleship requires gathering in the assembly (ecclesia), reconciliation, and disciplined unity. The charge: drop offense, resist illegitimate “powers,” and advance the Kingdom through understanding and togetherness
