It was a moment motivated and inspired by prayer.<\/p>\n The service was also televised globally, with more than 40,000 people watching online. And Signorelli said his team received messages indicating more than 600 people made a decision to follow Christ during one part of the event.<\/p>\n \u201cI live in New York City with my family, so I\u2019ve got two daughters, and my wife and I are just trying to be a light in the darkness,\u201d he told CBN News the night before the event. \u201cAnd of course, New York City is getting incredibly dark, and whether it\u2019s false religions, whether it\u2019s witchcraft and \u2026 we\u2019ve just seen politically it\u2019s an incredibly dark place.\u201d<\/p>\n Signorelli said he was praying about what he could do on Easter to help stem the tide of chaos and felt that doing a service in Times Square would be a powerful vehicle.<\/p>\n Listen to Signorelli:<\/p>\n \u201cDespite all the odds being against it, it was officially approved by the mayor\u2019s office,\u201d he said. \u201cThe whole city is actually getting behind this, which again is \u2026 unprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n Signorelli continued, \u201cSo I think God\u2019s making a big statement. This is bigger than me, bigger than our church. I think this is really about Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n The pastor said the Easter event came as the battle between good and evil seems to be \u201caccelerating,\u201d with major cities falling into the chaos.<\/p>\n \u201cThe internet has been a great thing in terms of the Gospel reaching billions of people, but, also, we know that Satan\u2019s using it too and spreading lies,\u201d Signorelli said. \u201cAnd so you have mass deception, the propaganda of hell, as I call it. And many people that are succumbing to that.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite this negativity, Signorelli said he believes God is raising up \u201cwarriors\u201d right now to help spread and advance the truth.<\/p>\n \u201cI know the outcome \u2014 we win, but it\u2019s not gonna come without a fight,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why I asked New York City [to] give me permission to do Easter Sunday in Times Square. \u2026 I believe God divinely and supernaturally opened this door.\u201d<\/p>\n Signorelli is hoping Sunday\u2019s event has a profound impact on the watching world.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m praying that the world watches this and says, \u2018OK, it\u2019s time for true revival, not emotionalism, not hype \u2014 but repentance, and revival, and reformation in America.’\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the service:<\/p>\n Signorelli said he\u2019s already seeing a spiritual resurgence in his church, with an increase in interest and devotion after conservative commentator Charlie Kirk\u2019s death. In fact, he saw 500 people come to faith that first weekend. Despite those positives, he again reminded people to be vigilant.<\/p>\n \u201cThe devil is on the move,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s out to kill, steal, and destroy. He\u2019s like this prowling lion. But there\u2019s another lion \u2014 the lion of the tribe of Judah, and he\u2019s roaring over our cities.\u201d<\/p>\n Please sign up for\u00a0Faithwire\u2019s daily newsletter\u00a0and download the\u00a0CBN News app\u00a0to stay up-to-date with the latest news from a distinctly Christian perspective.<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pastor Mike Signorelli is on a mission to bring the Gospel to New York City, holding a massive Easter service in the heart of New York City\u2019s Times Square.
