Welcome to Week 1 of the Easy Money Series! When it comes to lessons on finances, many people have heard about the Prosperity Gospel and the Poverty Gospel. However, we are introduced to the Purpose Gospel because all money in the kingdom has a purpose! Pastor Mike taught us that money follows mastery. Mastery only happens when you focus! This lesson encourages us to not just secure the bag but to secure our craft. We never have to follow money when we focus on the Master and our Mastery. #easymoney #financialseries #transformationchurch #financialstewardship Scripture References: Deuteronomy 28:12 NLT Matthew 6:33 AMP Proverbs 11:24-26 MSG Hebrews 12:2-4 NLT Matthew 17:24-27 NLT Colossians 3:23-24 NIV Join us for service online every Sunday at 11am (CST), Monday’s for Monday Night Prayer at 6pm (CST), and Tuesday’s for Rebroadcast at 6:45 pm (CST).

right get your notepads out
get your smartphones and dumb phones
ready
because this series is about to change
everything
and and most people be like because I’m
like you always say that
because I always believe it
because anybody that has an expectation
for something
actually receives in the direction of
what they’re believing for
so I always believe that the last thing
God gave me is the best thing God gave
me
cause God gave it to me
and and truly honestly this is a topic
that most people stay away from because
they do not want us to offend anybody
when it comes to the thing that has
their heart
and the crazy thing is most people their
spouse doesn’t have their heart as much
as money does
the truth of the matter is
a lot of people value finances resources
money more than they value the people in
their lives and I just want to let you
know that’s out of line in the Kingdom
and so today I want to start a journey
everybody say Journey
I want to walk us through what it looks
like to actually live a blessed life I
want you to write that down on your
piece of paper I will live a blessed
life
somebody confessed it so I want you to
confess it with him somebody say I will
live
a blessed life
a blessed life is not just tied to
finances But it includes it
it includes what does God say about me
having resources how do I handle
resources who do I help with the
resources and how do I reach Purpose
with what God has called me to do
somebody just say it by faith I will
live
a blessed life
and I know that’s hard for some people
to even think about right now because of
the life you’ve already lived
how many people in this room were a
humble open and transparent Church how
many people in this room are watching
right now have had a
sketchy Financial past let’s just look
at that that keeps it real why real wide
and open okay
okay the truth of the matter is
some people didn’t raise their hand just
because they’re in denial
I want them to know what I got I look
like I got it but what does it matter
that you look like something that you
don’t have
like like at the end of the day let me
ask another question how many people
could use more resources to do what
God’s called them to do
okay all right so today we’re gonna have
to talk about what God or the king says
about finances
generosity and stewardship write them
three words down finances
generosity and stewardship these aren’t
words that you see on Instagram or
this is not in everybody’s everyday
vocabulary
but these are words that are prominent
and preeminent in the word of God he
talks about money almost top three
subjects in the Bible Jesus talks about
money
yeah the church don’t
all they do is ask you for it
okay
y’all ever seen the building fun thing
in the old churches that they tell you
how much was raised for the building
fund it’s been 16 years that we’ve been
raising for the building funding the
number don’t change and we ain’t got a
new building
there’s a lot of distrust when it comes
to the church and finances
so let me go ahead and pop the bubble
right now
relax
everybody just take a deep breath in
real quick let it out now say relax
because some of y’all booty cheeks just
got tight when I told you we’re going to
talk about money because you’re like
what are you gonna do
what building did they dumb about now
what they gonna ask is there a building
campaign is there a fundraiser where to
fish dinners none of that
none of that
is a part of this presentation in fact
if you’ve been around Transformation
Church for any length of time actually
when we talk about generosity we do the
opposite this is a month of Miracles and
this is a month where we want to see God
bless people that ain’t even expecting
it so we in the month where people think
we gonna ask for something we give it
away
let me say it like this in this month
we’re going to give over a million
dollars away to other organizations you
can go ahead and clap your hands for
that
oh we come in for some of the things
that the Bible tells us to help with
as a church because people have already
bought in to the principles that I’m
going to share with you we don’t got to
raise an offering
because people are actually living a
blessed life
and so today it’s really an opportunity
for all of us to walk in the blessing
that God has provided for us when we
understand principles and really let me
just be completely transparent with you
the reason for the last eight years that
I
I’ve done this series every single year
is because the two things that people
struggle with
most outside of their relationship with
God is relationship with other people
and relationship with money
I can’t tell you in the week how many
times we’re dealing with a money issue
or a people issue
that’s what pastoring is Bishop lied to
me he didn’t tell I thought I was just
going to be able to preach
I didn’t know people was crazy
and usually those two issues are at the
core
of something and I said how do we change
this God said you have to teach my word
it is the remedy for every problem in
life today is found in the word of God
and so as we have decided that this year
we’re going to learn about the kingdom
and we’re not going to be king dumb
we’re not going to be ignorant of what
the king says I want to approach this
series
um from the lens of what Kingdom
currency and Kingdom finance and Kingdom
stewardship looks like everybody shouted
me Kingdom
okay so the reason I’m qualified to talk
to you about this is because eight years
ago when I became a pastor I was broke
broke
like I want to let everybody know
because people see this splattered paint
jacket I don’t even know what this is uh
do they see this and they’re like easy
for him to say no
you don’t know my story
yeah boy has six months of TCC education
right up the street
and when I left that I became a producer
who had to get money from anybody who
would actually pay me
to produce their music
I was broke broke
I had thousands of dollars of debt
I had a poverty mindset with Rich taste
okay uh okay okay
y’all know you got the dollar menu
budget
but the roof Chris appetite you know
can’t pay for that steak
I was raised by MTV Cribs
are y’all gonna leave me out here by
myself
[Applause]
but I still
needed nurturing like I was in a crib
I didn’t understand finances I didn’t
know how to budget a checkbook I didn’t
I I
was illiterate
in finance
and I was trapped because I was old
enough to know but never was taught
so I stayed dumb in an area I needed to
ask questions about
and so many people are here are trying
to hold it together
trying to act like you know but you got
all kind of car you paying for stuff
with Walmart cards
okay
you can’t even use a bank account no
more cash app saved you
okay all right you and overdraft in four
okay I’m in too many people’s business
right now you’re an overdraft in four
Banks
and you just said maybe it’ll disappear
or
some people on the other side of the
spectrum you have so much that you’re
greedy
that you actually think you’re better
because you have zeros in the bank
but your heart is nasty
huh
you walk into rooms with people that are
less than you to feel better about
yourself
the whole spectrum is here today
people that may have been raised with
the silver spoon in their mouth and
maybe people who stole the spoons from
the gas station y’all know let me take
some of these for the house
oh y’all gonna play me in the room today
we got people who went on family
vacations every year
headed to Destin
Florida again girl I’ll punch you in the
neck
Florida again
mom and dad wanted to go to the Bahamas
I grew up with boats and
only boat we have is in the tub like
[Applause]
glory to God
what I’m saying is wherever you come
from
today I want us to humbly approach this
topic
like I want you to take your crown off
whatever it is and I want you to put it
at the feet of Jesus and let’s go back
again and see if there’s something that
he wants to teach us about the kingdom
way to handle finances and
let me just say it like this
um many of you
are suffering that have been in church
for a while
from the pop Prosperity Gospel
naming and claim it
ain’t got to do nothing
God is a jackpot God
if I position myself right
give
666.72 cents because the word says and
Page 660 like we do all of these
gimmicky things
that maybe I’ll hit
you might as well go down to the Osage
Casino
because that’s not our God but
token
but on the other extreme
and they have been
indoctrinated by the poverty gospel
God don’t want me to have none
want me to ask you around the mouth I’m
martyred for him
how can you lend to many nations
how can you be the the lender and not
the borrower
if you don’t have nothing to lend
so if you’re on either one of those
extremes
or been turned off to the whole subject
because you’ve been on one I want you to
meet me in the middle somebody say meet
me in the middle
we’re going to teach you the purpose
gospel
that all money in the Kingdom has a
the reason that God is giving me more is
because I have a purpose
and so we’re not going Prosperity Gospel
and we sure ain’t going poverty gospel
we are going the purpose God when my
finances have a purpose God can trust me
with more than enough so write this down
this is just a thought to be able to get
this thing rolling paper without purpose
is pointless
having money resources finances
influence without a purpose from Heaven
is pointless that’s why the Bible says
stuff like this what does it profit a
man
to gain the whole world
but lose his very
he said it’s pointless
for you to have m’s in the bank
making it rain more cars than you can
drive in a week taking vacations
everywhere and he says you can still
have no peace and have all the paper
there are people that killed themselves
with millions of dollars in the bank
why would you do that because you think
money solves problems God solves
problems I’m about to I feel my health
coming on
you think that money solves the problem
no money is a tool to help mitigate what
we do on this Earth but it don’t solve
the problem Jesus
solves the problems
and just by the amens you don’t believe
it
because some of you are still operating
in the spirit of Mammon
and I don’t even have time to break this
down right now but there’s a Spirit
Alive on the Earth today that basically
says this either I need God to come
through or I need some money
uh-oh
and whichever one of them answers for
first I’ll serve them
that’s why you will disobey when God
tells you to wait
but you get a job offer for more money
it was like I have peace about it
he told you to wait
but they put the zeros in front of it
only like three hundred more dollars
and you’ll get out of the will of God
for some Starbucks coffee every week
if you’ve ever said I need God to come
through or I need more money
and you chose to more money
the spirit of Mammon still has control
of your heart
it’s the spirit that says
I can do it without God cause I got
money
see this is why I’m I’m uh
like I want everybody to have more than
enough but then I’m scared for some of
y’all to have more than enough
because you would stop praying if you
had okay
the only thing that makes you desperate
is what you need
but most of us would not be devoted
Christians if we did not have a need
uh oh
if you could pay not if this ain’t
everybody but it’s a bunch of y’all
if you could pay for everything you
wouldn’t be in church today
and what God is saying is money just
magnifies who you really are
it don’t change you it just magnifies
what’s in you and today I need you to
understand through this whole series I’m
gonna teach you Kingdom principles
everybody say Kingdom principles
that are going to help you live a
blessed life okay so so paper without
purpose is what okay so now that that’s
established every year when I come to
this series I try to figure out how to
package it a new way because it’s the
same information and let me say this
this year I feel a different swag
preaching this
and I just need to be honest with you
because this is not a test
where I started from
and where I am today is because I
actually applied the principles I’m
about to tell you if you do not get this
or want it I don’t care
no I need you to say this because this
year I got to teach this Kingdom thing
not trying to convince people
I need I need to preach this thing for
people who are already committed to what
God is saying and so I’m telling you
this right now because we don’t got a
lot of time usually I got six weeks for
this series I only got four so I got a
cram a bunch of the principles that has
transformed my life into four weeks and
so I ain’t got time to tiptoe around
your feelings to get you this point okay
so today I’m just look at my life and
I’m gonna tell you stories but people
who know me know that God has changed
generationally
oh God I can’t even
he has generationally changed
the ability of my family to be generous
to the kingdom of God and to anybody he
tells me to not because I’m a pastor
I need everybody to hear me say this
not because I’m a pastor because I
worked the king’s principles
so today tomorrow next week and the next
three weeks after that I want you to
listen to these principles and I want
you to put them into practice and I
promise you you’re going to live a
blessed life okay so watch this I was in
the gym and I was thinking what am I
going to call this series and I’ve been
on a transformation journey and what
ended up happening is confession I don’t
like lifting weights okay so let me be
very clear about this it is scary and
brings me anxiety to think that my neck
okay some of y’all are really strong but
to think that my neck
is underweight that I don’t know if I
can press up
and to think that if I let it go like
that would be the worst way for me to
die
so so ever since I started working out
my trainer Vic he would tell me he said
Mike we got to get under that weight and
I’m like yeah
let’s jump let’s jump
I gotta get this fat off me so I was
like let’s jump let’s do cardio he’s
like yeah but we got to get you stronger
and I was like yeah but you know the
thing about stronger is you need weights
and he’s like yes and I said waist is
heavy and he says until you lift them
and I was like what you mean he said The
more you lift the weights the more you
get under it what seems hard becomes
and so then one day we was about to hit
a new level and he would always say to
me all right coach he would call me
coach
and you the coach but why you calling me
coach he was like putting responsibility
on me and he was saying all right coach
easy money
what you mean easy this is not easy
do you see all these plates that you
don’t put on here
he said no no no no no no no no no
anytime you get under anything hard
to it and tell it tell yourself that
it’s easy
and I was like all right so I’m like
Easy Money Easy Money easy money
and and the more that I did this I found
myself getting confident
because there were many times I would
get underweight that looked like it was
too heavy but I haven’t counted up all
the times that I had lifted it
and it had made me stronger
and it was the simple practices of doing
the same mundane thing did weightlifting
is not rocket science
it’s the same stupid thing over
and over and over and over again but
then when more weight was put on what
was hard became easy
and I was in the gym about a month ago
and we were going for a record
and he was not there
the coach wasn’t there it was just me my
wife and a few of my workout Buddies
and they’re all women
so they called me big dog and I’m
sitting under there like like
he wasn’t there
and I just looked at myself I said Mike
this is hard
but not too hard for you
you’re strong I’m talking about you
strong
and all I said was easy money
and I said
and I went down yeah
I don’t even know what noises I was I
farted three times I said
didn’t matter
it didn’t matter what had to come out of
me for me to get that up
[Applause]
there’s a word right there right now
okay
but what was once hard
now became easy
and when I started to think about the
kingdom of God everything that culture
makes hard
the word of God and the kingdom makes
easy
so I said you know what I’mma call what
most people find hard about finances
I’m gonna call this whole series
everybody say easy money
I need you to say it with an attitude
somebody said easy money
put your swag on it at home everybody
say easy money
by the time we end this series what has
been hard for you I’m believing by faith
this thing about money it’s gonna be
what easy
it’s gonna be easy
and as a matter of fact
I want to do something I want to start
this series out in generosity
because a lot of people
um when they get to this point it’s like
Pastor Mike you don’t know how hard my
finances are
and you don’t know I’m on a fixed income
in government assistance and and there’s
stuff that I’m lying about right now
no come on I know the real situation
there’s I’m robbing Peter John and Paul
to pay dequante
[Applause]
like I’m like
I need everybody to say help
so what we did at Transformation Church
is we partnered with the people over at
Dave Ramsey and if you’ve never heard of
him he has a program that helps people
understand finances he has a program
that helps people understand where their
money is give them a one two three four
guide of how to get to a place where
they have at least a thousand dollars in
savings and be able to pay off your debt
and all of that other stuff so what we
did is we called up Dave and we said
Dave I got like 20 000 people that want
to do money right and Dave was like okay
what you want to do I want to buy your
program for everybody
and and Dave said for everybody and I
said for everybody
and he said okay
so for everybody that’s watching this
right now Transformation Church if you
want to learn educationally how to get
your finances in order we have partnered
with Ramsey plus and for the entire year
you didn’t hear me for the entire year
you get to go through all their coaching
programs and have financial assistance
for your personal finances
now watch now watch now watch now watch
if I would have gave everybody a hundred
and thirty dollars in the service
they would have shouted
but because now I gave you the tools
[Applause]
so so everybody not for just the people
in the building this is how generous we
want to be for everybody watching this
on rebroadcast
I want you to say this and there’s more
than 20 000 people last week’s sermon
160 000 people watched it
everybody
that wants to change your financial
picture
you can go to transformchurch.us this a
message all in itself
you can select Ramsay plus the code is
already in there fill out the
information it’s like four like little
things and you will have access for free
for an entire year now don’t see me next
year
looking like you sucked on pickle juice
because now you have a practical step
what do I do from here Pastor Mike
go get your finances in order
that’s too practical for them okay
preach at me yell
at we could leave right now
why because now you got something to
work
many people don’t even have a budget
don’t know what their numbers are
don’t know what you
faith without works is
somebody said that’d be me
I said faithful that works is what
if you want to see something different
you got to do something different I’m
asking you
I don’t care how old you are and if your
kids are in a different financial
position than you get your finances in
order amen okay so that’s the the first
thing that we’re going to celebrate
Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 12.
it says the Lord will send rain at the
proper time everybody say proper time
from his treasury in the heavens and
will bless all the work you do everybody
say work
that is not a cuss word
I’m talking to a lot of different
Generations
for Millennials and z
a lot of times we think work is a cuss
word
mom be quiet
my mama said that’s the right
but the truth of the matter is we think
that work is I’m supposed to do all of
this and
the people that are exers boomers and if
any of the uh
the Baby Boomers I see you Mama Chloe
okay if they if they still kicking
okay this is true okay
work
is an idol
work is an idol
it has taken the place of God
so people will work I just want to show
you the Spectrum
people will work
religiously to provide for a family they
don’t know
while over here they won’t work at all
because they don’t know if this is worth
it
and the Bible tells us
that God will bless from his treasury in
heaven the work you do
okay let me just say this because I got
to set this all up
work
was given to Adam before Eve was
I’m not gonna let you read too deep into
this
but if you are funding a man that has a
PlayStation addiction
and don’t have a job some of y’all knows
two girls in the front but was like oh
my God the rain
[Applause]
before you get a woman
all men had everybody say word
work was not a punishment in the fall
it was a prerequisite to being in the
garden
and if you do not become acquainted with
work
you will miss out on the destiny that
God has for you and a lot of people are
allergic to work or have made work their
Idol
and we got to get the right relationship
in the Kingdom with work okay
and then it says you will lend to many
nations I love this part you will never
need to borrow
it doesn’t even say you won’t borrow
it’s just like I don’t have to if I
don’t want to
it literally says you will never need to
borrow from them and so so then when I
read that then it takes me to Matthew 6
33 okay we’re talking about the kingdom
okay but first I’ma read this from the
Amplified version it blessed me this
week but first and most most importantly
aim at and strive after his kingdom
somebody say his kingdom
and his righteousness his way of doing
and being right the attitude and
character of God and then all of the
other things that you need will be given
to you also
when you do what God asks you to do in
seeking the kingdom he takes care of the
finances in it as well so then I said
all right if I’m gonna teach people
about how to have a easy money mindset I
need to give them some principles so I’m
gonna give you all four weeks in just a
short synopsis so you can know what
we’re gonna do every week everybody say
Easy Money mindset
write that on your paper I’m just
teaching you today I’ma preach to you in
a little bit but I got to teach you
first Easy Money mindset this is the
mind of somebody in the Kingdom that
understands that money is not hard
anymore when I do money the King’s Way
it’s easy money and I have an easy money
mindset everybody needs money put money
on your page everybody need money
I don’t care
where you’re living what you’re doing if
you need a lot if you need a little but
everybody needs money but in the Kingdom
watch this
money requires there’s your next m word
management
the only way that God gives you more
money you can see the parable of the
talents is if you manage it properly
and God will take away from you as his
child
when you don’t manage properly
don’t listen don’t look at he literally
took away from his child that dug a hole
and put his opportunity in the ground
and he took it away from me and gave it
to the one that would actually do the
right thing with it what I’m telling you
is money requires management I’m gonna
talk to you about management next week
okay and then the next thing I’m gonna
talk to you about is motives
because management how you manage your
money always checks your motive
man ain’t nothing exposed My Heart Like
Money
say somebody your friend
and they don’t pay you back
I just come on my best friend yeah let
me loan me six hundred dollars
okay
when you pay me back in a month in a
month I got you bro
you see that person
and it’s been one year
16 days the 13 hours
in four minutes
you like yeah that ain’t even your
friend no more that’s
that’s Bobby
who owe me
you start describing him as
Bobby
who oh why it’s because what’s in your
heart
gets exposed
when you actually start having to manage
it and God wants to check our motives
because watch this motives determine
multiplication
I’m giving you y’all this is gonna seem
too easy but I’m telling you if you
listen to these principles It’s Gonna
Change Your Life
money requires management management
checks your motives motives determine
multiplication and then watch this
multiplication blesses many others
what happens when you don’t need to pray
for something
you can be the answer to the prayer
too many of us are praying for things
that we should be able to solve
oh no my
my electricity got cut off
and I don’t know what I’m gonna do and
they’re about to repossess my house how
much is it
fourteen hundred dollars
let me talk to my husband let me talk to
my wife
I’ll call you back
baby
you know that account we we have seven
thousand dollars in
to bless people with
I felt tugged on my heart to give to
this person fourteen hundred dollars
there seems like there’s a little
irresponsibility there I saw on
Instagram showing her new Gucci shoes
real conversation she could Pawn their
mugs
but I don’t think she’s their maturity
wise I don’t think we’re supposed to pay
the whole thing but I think we’re
supposed to give her five hundred
dollars
how do you feel about that okay hey sis
I know there’s a couple of things that
you could be doing to get in the right
place financially but me and my husband
felt led to just bless you
with five hundred dollars
to help you on this journey and whatever
you use it for it’s from us if you use
it towards the thing it’s but we just
know you’re in need right now we want to
bless you
not now you get paid when
no no no no no no hold up
the first or the second
what I’m saying to you
is there some things that God wants to
bless others with and he the only way
he’s going to do it is through you
and many of us are not even prepared
we don’t even care they’re
okay I’m gonna just give all the secrets
right now
I carry money with me
in a specific place that is on my
security guard because some of y’all is
about to come come and try to fleece me
forget you
Scott hold my money and he holds
something else too
just be clear I just felt the spirit of
the person might get
but I wanna I’m Scott am I telling the
truth I go to the bank every week
in in preparation
to bless whoever God tells me to
not watch this not bless every moment I
want to
cause it’s not my money oh God
I’m the manager of it but he owns it
and I have been places where it is let
me just tell you something it is an
inconvenience to give
giving’s hard
do you know how much how much red tape
you have to go through to give a car
away
signing the D
giving someone the answer the tag the
this that that and yet
God placed it on my heart
and he may be placing on your heart he
said I want you to do something and it
doesn’t matter what it costs you
I need you to be ready to be generous in
all seasons
and I’m trying to prepare the church for
the blessing you think you want
because right now everybody think if I
had it I’d do it
Pastor you know me
I give you the shirt off my back
the truth of the matter is you have
something right now you can give and you
don’t give it
you have something right now that God is
requiring you to practice the muscle of
generosity and you will not do it
and God’s saying I’m watching how they
manage what they got
why would I trust them with more and why
would I trust them with true witches
which are people
see the money is just play play for the
real thing that God cares about people
and when you handle money right
then he knows you can handle people
right
and when he lets you start handling
people
watch out
because then you get to actually
experience what it is to live in your
God nature
okay let me stop I’m too deep for some
people right now okay so so so right now
I gave you what we’re gonna do the next
few weeks okay and and this is the thing
if these become your precepts your pre
thoughts they’ll turn into your
principles principles turn into
disciplines and disciplines turn into
your culture
I want you to have a kingdom culture but
it starts with thinking the right things
that’s why Proverbs 11 24 this is one of
my favorite scriptures that got me out
of poverty
the world of the generous
gets larger and larger
the world of the stingy gets smaller and
smaller
this is a universal principle in the
earth if you are generous and don’t even
love God your world gets bigger
oh my gosh they don’t even believe me
you think you got to be speaking in
tongues God said there’s principles I
be is a principal in the Earth
he said the another principle in the
earth is sowing and reaping you don’t
gotta believe in me you plant some seeds
I have made it a principle that
something’s gonna come up
when you are generous it is a principle
this is easy money be generous your
world just expands
do you know
that I have over the past eight years
become
so generous to the point that it raises
questions
and people who love me
have you ever been so generous that
somebody like are you sure
what you gonna do
but that’s our last
I have become so comfortable
in generosity and I’m so grateful to do
it because I know where I was I was
broken
I was lost I was addicted to pornography
and addicted to Poverty oh
see people talk about
some of y’all are forcing your kids to
eat food that they don’t want
okay
oh God I just I crossed the cultural
line right there I felt it I felt the
ancestral demons coming to get me
but the truth of the matter is because
in your family you were told don’t get
up from that plate until you eat all
your food
that was fueled by fear and poverty
and so now your kid is a glutton
so they eat when they’re full
and you’re teaching them that this is
proper stewardship of the food instead
of their body
oh God
and so now they get older and anytime
they go to a buffet they load up
and take the taco box and do all the
things because mama said don’t waste no
food but it was based on fear because we
may not have enough
and so now they have a problem expanding
somewhere else
because it was based in a poverty
mentality based off of fear but God has
not given us a spirit of
but of power love and a sound mind what
I’m saying is there’s all of these
things weaved into our lives
that we don’t even understand that God’s
saying that is not even how I want you
to live in the Kingdom
I want you to be able to have more than
enough and that’s why I need you to
start with being generous with what you
have everybody say this with me what I
have
is enough
you can be outrageously generous with
what you got
how many parachutes do you need
oh I just oh
how many hoodies do you need
come on y’all how many cars do you this
is going to offend or or offend
selfishness
and that is my goal right here is to
make you understand that all you have is
all you need to start being generous
right now
so so so so where did God start with me
he started telling me empty your closet
and I said Lord I want I want a new
wardrobe before I empty my closet I need
you to
bless me indeed
before I bless somebody else he said
that’s not how I work it’s seed
time
Harvest
he said find them young boys that like
your style give them the clothes
yeah no no no no no no no no not even
the ones that you just want a lot the
ones with the tags on
well Lord that’s just a little
it’s a little much
and and I’m telling you my real story
when I was in debt I would go through my
closet
give
and guess what else I gave not money
time
Bishop you remember when you had lost
all that weight and I said Bishop I’m
gonna take you shopping
and I took Bishop to the suit store when
I didn’t have no suits
and God had me by Bishop four suits
that cost as much as my whole closet
and he said I want you to sow into this
man I wasn’t in line to be the pastor
yet
and I wasn’t trying to be the pastor
let me just be very clear this was not
on my wish list
but I knew I had to start with what I
had
and I started being General I just
started okay I’m telling you something
you can give your treasure but you can
give your time or you can give your
skills
see some of y’all are thinking well
Pastor might talk about money I don’t
got money no no no no no but you got a
scale
that you could use your hands to show
your heart and start doing something
right now you see people in need and
don’t make them pay for it what’s your
attitude
oh
so you didn’t make them pay no money but
you made them pay I’m on time where
y’all at
[Applause]
is this the level of expertise I’m
working we get y’all
what I’m saying is what you have now
is enough to make your world larger
what if in March our world got bigger
not because of what we got but what we
gave oh my God
think about a world where a church could
actually be the place the giving center
of the world
I’m gonna just throw stupid Vision out
there what if every need in our
community
could be answered
within the people
that are in this room right now
and the people who are watching online
and transformation Nation they won’t
even clap for it it’s crazy they won’t
even clap for it yup
Evan what if we could end homelessness
in Tulsa
not because of the government
because the church took a stance and
said no we’ll build the community we’ll
get them housing they cheer for the
Miracles but they won’t cheer for
helping somebody all I’m telling you is
the world of the generous gets larger
and larger
and the world of the stingy
your world been shrinking for a decade
today I’m coming to open you back up
I know it’s been rough on you I know the
pandemic tried to end you
I know that the business shut down I
know that you are supposed to get a
settlement and it didn’t come through
but God is saying but in the Kingdom
we’re on a different economy
yeah it might be a recession here not in
heaven
oh I just felt that not in heaven for
the Kingdom Kids
whatever is happening on Earth do not
affect
what God can do with me when the
pandemic shut everything down God so
orchestrated my first book ever being
released in the middle of a pandemic
I I was in this back room crying
and I had one of my friends call me and
encourage me he in the room right now he
said bro this is the greatest thing that
could ever happen to you I said why I
can’t go on the book tour I can’t do
nothing he said God has captivated the
whole world
and giving you an audience
and this message is gonna go like
wildfire
I will call that man a prophet cause as
soon as that book dropped
that thing went everywhere if it was
dropped today it probably would have
done good but it wouldn’t have done what
it did
and I’m not I’m not ashamed of this and
I give glory to God because I obeyed his
steps every step of the way that one
book changed my family’s financial
future forever
no y’all we don’t even Rejoice with
those who Rejoice that is crazy
I don’t gotta go speak nowhere
I don’t gotta I don’t got to do no and
it’s a message that’s Evergreen I didn’t
ask for it God gave it to me
I was just faithful to work it it
changed everything
my daughter we got a book about to come
out with my daughter a cup of love me
and Bella wrote a book all for
relationship goals then
we gonna help kids understand it it’s
changed
everything
but why did it change everything because
I worked in a season where it might not
have seemed worth it
okay so somebody say easy money
okay I’m just trying to get you ready
okay so many remember put the put the
things back on there because they got to
get it this is Class come on put it put
it back up there money requires
management
management checks let’s say it together
okay class this is I’m gonna be your
professor today let’s start at the top
money requires management
checks motives motives determines
multiplication and multiplication
blesses many others
does that make sense
is that easy enough
okay so now
I got to tell you I forgotten one
and this is what I got to talk to you
today about because this is what I’ve
taught every year but the Holy Spirit
convicted me he said Michael you’re
teaching this assuming that people have
money
and so today I need you to go back and I
need you to teach them the kingdom
principle of watch this mastery
that’s good I think
what are you about to say okay good
mastery
I found all throughout the Bible
that there was nowhere
that people of God went after money
nowhere find it
there is nowhere where people that God
called was like Hey I gotta get on my
grind though
I gotta hustle I gotta move there’s
nowhere you find the disciples
setting up chicken dinners
before they go into town to keep the
ministry afloat
there’s y’all find it
there’s nowhere because in the Kingdom
write this point down if you don’t get
nothing else
money
follows mastery
there is a Biblical precedence that you
need to master something on this Earth
and we have been teaching the church to
pray and not get a skill
oh my God I’m about to be in your
business
I’m just over here praying you need to
read something too
and you need to practice something and
you need to try and fail and you need to
ask for help we have gone away from
Mastery searching for miracles
oh I’m about to preach this thing and
the Holy Spirit came and to me and said
Michael stop asking them to manage what
they ain’t got
you’re assuming they got money and they
got something but they don’t got nothing
because they have not mastered anything
and Mastery only comes when you watch
this F word Focus
Money Follows Master just think about it
Noah started off as a novice boat maker
but after years
of putting this boat together that
nobody had seen even when there wasn’t
rain
515 feet
of boat and getting animals on it and
the biggest Miracle is convincing his
family to still work with him
there was a level of mastery
to what Noah did to build something that
actually floated
I’d have done some science fair projects
that didn’t float
and he built a 515 foot boat everybody
say mastery
think about Daniel
y’all remember Daniel it said that
Daniel in a captive situation was seven
times better than everybody that was
born into that situation
him Shadrach Meshach and Abednego they
were so much more excellent they were
Masters at the language
Masters at Excellence when they came in
the room you didn’t have to respect
their God but you had to respect their
skill oh my God oh my God I can’t wait
to the day where Believers are so good
that you ain’t gotta believe what I
believe but you got to believe the
results oh God
there is
something in the Kingdom that is
developed in people who will commit to
mastery
I think about David
was a master at getting the Shepherds to
do to getting the Sheep to do what he
wanted to do he’s a master Shepherd
but he wasn’t just oh one dimensional he
was multi-faceted
he was such a good guitar player that
when the king needed somebody to torment
the Devils that were coming to haunt him
they said Jesse’s boy he called on that
guitar
and he got
to the position of the palace before he
would Reign not because of his spiritual
prowess
oh my God
what if God wants to take you into an
area that you will want you
King in but he wants to take you there
in the disguise of your skill
[Music]
you not good at nothing
or you’ve decided to be subpar
because for many of us it’s a decision
you could be better but this job don’t
pay me enough my Bible says
that we’re supposed to do everything
that we do as unto the but you’ve been
doing it as unto your boss
and you’ve been doing it as until your
paycheck and what you have done is cut
the preparation that God is trying to
give you in Mastery and that’s why your
money low
you can literally be good and become a
master at anything
and somebody will pay you to do it
[Music]
okay
okay
I see I’m gonna have to work this a
little better all right let me just give
you I didn’t finish with David Shepherd
guitar player then he was a sniper
he was a sniper
that baby took
some smooth stones
and a slingshot
the whole Army was out there
sniper he was skilled he had Mastery
with insignificant items
what people are calling insignificant is
just my little Administration gift what
you’re a sniper
there’s somebody looking for a sniper
I’m looking for us I’m looking for a
bunch of snipers
was just I just make a little art on on
my my
do you know how much people pay
for people who do just a little art
but but we’re discounting what God is
counting on
you have stopped going at all you’re
older
all your life is over
well I’m 56 what
what do you know Quincy Jones
wrote Thriller with Michael Jackson at
age 50.
he literally said his career did not
start
until he did that at age 50.
mastery what was the other 49 years
practice
oh my God
it was preparation
for a moment to work with an artist who
would do all styles
uh everything if you go study Quincy
Jones history and this is me because I’m
a producer he he did stuff in jazz he
did stuff in pop he did stuff in rock he
did stuff but it was all the preparation
so that when Michael Jackson started to
give a vegetable give her a festival
like what is he okay
like he knew what to do with that
mastery
[Music]
and money
follows
okay Jesus
what was Jesus other than our savior
why
why
would our example
give us
his life as an example of ministry and
mastery
to give nobody an excuse
I don’t care how skilled you are you
still need to do ministry
and I don’t care how ministerial you are
you still need to have mastery
we literally see Jesus at 12 in the
synagogue oh I’m feeling my help coming
on now
and he’s doing the ministry stuff
he don’t
know where he going he didn’t put his
GPS on
she finds him he he says I’m doing the
father’s business he said but I’m about
to bust you up
we don’t see Jesus again for 18 years
but could it be that the 18-year hiatus
was there so he could develop mastery
in the dark oh
[Applause]
not on a platform not in front of
everybody we don’t hear they just always
say that he was a carpenter that he
built things that that was Mary’s son
the carpenter they always were he was so
good that it was a part of his title
oh my God
what happens when people don’t have to
use your name
they know your skill
okay this only for half the church
because some of y’all just gonna be
y’all just do it do it for Me Lord kill
him she’s asking you to do it he said do
it for yourself
I put inside of you the ability to
produce wealth I this is the Bible I
need you to do something with what I
gave you you need
mastery
um Malcolm Gladwell says in his book
outliers that it takes ten thousand
hours
devoted to something specifically to
become a master at it has anybody ever
heard that before okay and and a lot of
people like ten thousand hours that
might just be able to be a million hours
I don’t know I promise you you’ve given
ten thousand hours to movies
I promise you you give in 10. social
media is a new invention I promise you
if you haven’t you’re close to have
given ten thousand hours
to Instagram Facebook Myspace some of
y’all might face freaks I know y’all
I know you’ve given 10 000 hours to
emails
I I just want everybody to take in
consideration
how many hours we’ve given to something
and it said you literally could become a
master at anything I want everybody to
think about this right now Caleb where
are you at tell Caleb to come here I
need him to come and get on the piano
real quick okay
um because I want you to see the
difference between somebody who’s
messing around
and somebody who’s a master
okay
um um I’m I’m gonna show you me messing
around turn the keyboard on
yeah come on yeah come on up here and
I’m gonna show you
okay so I I got I got I got the title
okay
a pastor at this church yeah bring me
over here where the camera hello okay
here we go
so okay so I get I can fake you out
hold on one second okay uh
[Music]
[Applause]
now as soon as you asked me to go to
another key
I’m gonna have to move to the side
because I perfected
something very specific
in one level
okay look could you get on the piano
please and make me look very bad
Caleb if I just Hummer know I say
um foreign
[Music]
who cares
take it up two keys
thank you
okay stop stop you’re making me look
very bad
um if I just start humming a random song
that imma make up right now
you can follow me right
because you’ve spent hours
focusing on them white and black keys
while I was playing video games
and chasing booty
I’m gonna tell the truth anyway
[Applause]
he was sitting here
practicing
and so literally this is how we write
songs
I get with a master
and I just start humming stuff
[Music]
yeah yeah so do that again
[Music]
honor
[Music]
[Music]
one more time
[Music]
this is how I made all my babies I want
everybody to understand this right now
okay
okay
[Applause]
nahida made a song Lord I love you now
and Lord I love forever
Lord I love you now
and Lord I love you foreign
[Music]
like okay y’all I don’t know how far you
want me to push this I’ll come back next
week with verses I promise you
okay
okay
what I’m saying is
when I got with a
what was hard for me
became
but it was the years of focus
away from the lights
and I know everybody want to be famous
now
once they Instagram account to go up now
wants everybody to know what they do now
but God in the dark season developed
Mastery and if you’re gonna have money
to actually manage you need to focus on
mastering something right now okay okay
okay okay okay
so Jesus
is our example
they said that if you commit ten
thousand hours
to a craft you can become a master but
then I saw this other study that my
friend sent me this week by Anderson
Erickson a professor of psychology at
Florida State University and it turns
out that spending 10 000 hours to become
a master is not the fastest way to
become a master
they found out that it depends on how
good your teacher is
y’all when I heard that
if we have Jesus who is a master teacher
it actually makes up the difference for
my efficiency my deficiency
and I can actually become a master at
something quicker
submitted to the King of Kings
and the Lord of Lord write this down as
a point the master teacher can expedite
your mastery
I’m telling you today that if you decide
to actually start working and focusing
on something the Holy Spirit leads you
to do and you do it with God’s help
I’m a living witness I don’t have no
business degree
yet I run hundreds of millions dollars
of business
now I know most pastors won’t ever say
that but I am because I actually went to
school with the master teacher
Tammy can do Tammy our business letter C
uh we was broke when I took over the
church
like y’all everybody in the room see her
shaking her head we were broke I read
books
I went to conferences I came back and
gave her books to read I said we gonna
figure this thing out and the master
teacher
took what I was deficient in
oh God but because I put my focus on it
said God I’m gonna learn how to get out
of debt myself I’m gonna live the
blessed life and I’m gonna teach a
generation of people how to be the
lender and not the ball I’m gonna teach
us how to own something they want the
government to bring back Black Wall
Street the church is going to buy up
everything in Tulsa y’all don’t hear me
I said we gonna do it ourselves I need
the rise of a holy Rebellion but we
cannot do it
without mastery
stop being okay with the middle of the
pack
every promotion they look you over
it’s not because you don’t have the
skill
you haven’t applaud yourself
guys
the master teacher wants to teach us
for every okay let me say it like this
I’m making a declaration here like I did
when I was overweight
y’all I live completely transparent
almost 270 pounds I told you I was gonna
get my body in order because the the
Holy Spirit told me that he only could
bless the ministry at the level my body
could take it
that wasn’t a prophetic word for
everybody though you could take notes
but in the dark the holy spirit said get
that in order
now he’s been challenging me to do
something I will be able to play the
piano like Caleb plays the piano
no no no no I don’t need you to clap
you’re gonna see
because God prophesied over me when I
was one years old
that I would a day old yes Mom thank you
a day old that I would listen to the
word the prophet said I would master
several instruments
and because I mastered the drums
thank you Mama Chloe
because because I mastered the drum I
can play the drum I can go on tour with
anybody on the drums I can do that okay
but when it came to that
because I was good at that
I thought that was enough
so I settled for one tool
settled just for one thing when God
wanted to give me multiple things y’all
get ready
it may take me 10 years it may take me
20 years that Caleb’s gonna teach me I’m
gonna be with a master teacher
but but what I’m saying to you is the
same way I applied myself in this area
it’s the same way I’m about to apply
myself in this area y’all are gonna see
I mark my words over the next 10 years
of me Pastor they’re gonna be days where
I’m gonna pull a piano out here y’all
thought we worship now
wait till I get these Keys unlocked
I’ll I’ll be imma be um
what I’m saying you it’s not too late
I don’t know I just feel that Spirit
like just starting to like sit on people
like uh
no you got the master teacher
but like everything that you thought was
gonna take you a long time to do but you
have to start focusing okay so so this
is what I tell everybody we’re going to
talk about money next week but we got to
talk about Mastery this week because you
got to start something this way somebody
said I got to start something
why do you got to start something
because before you invest finances
invest your focus
oh that’s nasty
you would see a better return on your
investment if you just would invest your
focus
I don’t know nothing about the the stock
market and the Dow Jones and you don’t
have to you know something about your
focus
and wherever you put your focus has the
opportunity to be a seed that you sow
that will show back up in your future I
want everybody to find something this
week that the holy spirit is leading you
to and it don’t have to be the forever
thing
do y’all know how many things lead to
the thing
God is a progression God
he doesn’t give you the end of the
journey and say this is it he leads you
to where he wants you to go so you may
be doing something that don’t even seem
like it applies with the thing that he
told you to do but I promise you all
things
are working together you need to put
your focus in an area how do we do this
Hebrews 12 2. we do this by keeping our
eyes on who Jesus
what I want you to do is keep your eyes
on Jesus and focus on something
Master something
if you’re good at something become
better at it
if you’re so good at that you don’t got
to work at that no more if it’s easy
learn some become a student again
who are you learning from right now
where are you investing for your skill
to be better
and most people are just working a job
that they hate
to survive a life that they can’t wait
to get out of
that’s why we’re dreaming of heaven and
God said I want you to come here yet
I want you to bring Heaven where
that’s the Kingdom so watch this where
you focus now
will cause fruitfulness or frustration
Wherever You focus everybody shot at me
now
I’m telling you the rest of 2023
wherever you put your focus is either by
this time next year won’t make you very
fruitful or make you very frustrated
that’s all you got
well God I don’t say nothing you don’t
see nothing when you plant a
us the next day
but there is a principle at work there
is seed time and what it’s coming back
up
show something now Brooke sow something
now David sow something now Sarah sow
something now trenice so something
don’t secure the bag secure your craft
oh shoot
waking up to secure the back secure your
craft
get better sharpen it it don’t matter if
you’re better than everybody around you
they’re all Lanes but now go after
something okay
oh God I shouldn’t have said it like
that but you’re in
you in your small fish tank talking
about look at me
go to the ocean
some of us won’t even put our stuff in
places to get critiqued
you so Christian you can’t handle
critique
oh God
I’m not letting no negative words come
in my life
if you’re gonna do anything great it’s
gonna be critiqued
and true artists are usually
misunderstood in their lifetime
oh God I can’t even
I gotta kill these things that because
we’re Christian that means we’re good at
it
you’re not good because you became a
Christian
you’re good with God
you still can’t sing
oh God
I was thinking about joining the person
please don’t
you’re still okay
this may be too much for people because
we want everybody to get a trophy
don’t try but get a trophy
I mean Make a Joyful Noise into the Lord
yes
but the people God uses he requires
Excellence from
you don’t go to the kingdom and get poor
service
you don’t go to the kingdom
and get people who not on time you don’t
go to the kingdom and get people it’s uh
it’s five o’clock
ill you came 45 minutes late
but you leave right
I mean you at the door with your bucket
and your lunch and your everything at 4
52.
just you know just want to be Integris
computer was shut down
35 minutes before
[Music]
yet you came in late
you represent the king
you the one we supposed to follow
you’re the state oh you’re representing
huh
it’s time for the church
to commit to another level of mastery
Don’t Make It Rain discover your lane
that don’t I don’t make it rain no no no
no discover your way
get in that thing and just run there
there’s a race set before you the Bible
says in the New Testament run your races
one that wants to win and finish and
endure to the end don’t hustle and grind
seek the kingdom and find
I’m trying to let everybody understand
why
because money watch this follows a
mission
in the Kingdom you get a mission from
God you will never have to worry about
money
I’m just telling you right now I am a
living witness I did not have any money
to do this mission
so I doubled down on the mission and God
brought the money
and oh God
this principle works everywhere sell out
to the mission
God brings the money okay so I’ma show
you in the Bible and then we’re gonna go
home this scripture jacked the uh
Matthew chapter 17 verse 24. I’m talking
about Mastery somebody shouted me easy
money
I can’t wait I’ve been holding this all
week
Matthew 17 verse 24. this is the story
when there was a temple tax that had to
be paid and Jesus was on Mission and
they came to collect the money so watch
this oh I love how Jesus handles money
verse 24 on the arrival in Capernaum the
collectors of the temple tax came to
Peter and asked him doesn’t your teacher
pay the temple tax
yes he does Peter replied
then he went into the house but before
he had a chance to speak Jesus so
gangster he already know what’s
happening Jesus asked him what do you
think Peter
do kings tax their own people
or the people they have conquered
they tax the people they have conquered
Peter replied well then Jesus said the
citizens are free however
we don’t want to offend him I could turn
this whole thing out right now but we’re
not going to cause these problems today
so go down to the lake
and throw in a line go fishing
open up
the first fish you catch and you will
find money or a large silver coin
take it and pay the taxes for both of us
oh this nasty Bible
let me break this down everybody say
easy money
Jesus is now faced with the opportunity
to come off of his mission to start
worrying about money
they’re there to minister and they’re
like hey y’all got to pay taxes when
y’all pull up on this port
and Peter is like yeah let me go ask
Jesus and Jesus said what you want to do
we gonna actually not cause a Ruckus
today we’re going to pay the taxes well
Jesus
who gonna pay it you got some money I
got some money this is what I’m gonna
ask you to do go down and go fishing and
I’m gonna put the money in the most
unlikely place
when the last time you saw fish with
money in their mouth
but what I want to do is create a
miracle so I want you to go
fishing
the first fish
oh my God
the F everybody say first
the first one is gonna have the money in
it
if I’m
Simon Peter
I’m like
oh
me
you want me to go fishing
I don’t know if the miracle is going to
work
but fishing
I can do why
could Peter
go fishing
what was his profession
before he became a disciple
he was a fisherman
Jesus asked him to go to his space of
mastery
oh my God he didn’t ask Luke because
Luke was a doctor and if he would have
asked Luke he would have said get your
stethoscope because I need you to go
find it in somebody’s heart but because
he asked Simon Peter
what was his instruction go go do
what you’re a master at already
and when you do what you’re a master at
already
the resource
is right there
y’all
this messed me up
because it was easy for Simon Peter
to go get a miracle
because he was used to the Mastery
before the miracle showed up
the reason you gotta focus in this
season
is because God’s gonna call on something
that’s familiar
he’s not gonna ask you to scale a
mountain or to be so close and you can’t
even sew up your own crotch if something
comes he’s not asking you he’s going to
say to me Michael take the message I
give you
and put it in book form
what I got to do to that get with a
master writer
you speak it because that’s your lane
get with them they translate it into
book form and then you go through it and
then it’s a number one New York Times
bestseller
he didn’t ask no y’all you’re not
hearing me
he did not ask me to come out of my Lane
of mastery to produce a miracle
and if you don’t give God something to
work with
he can’t do the miracle
okay all right this too much for y’all
today okay
write this point down Mastery is
preparation for a miracle
the reason I work
on what God has told me to work on right
now right now as a pastor as an author
as a producer I’m working on stuff that
I feel dumb at
because God is preparing me in this
season for other seasons
I’m sowing right now in the dark
and trying to become a master at things
honestly I don’t have to do
if you would look at my life and be like
you don’t got to do that
I’m not doing this for you
or anybody else when the Holy Spirit
tells me to focus on something
I owe him
my life
so I begin to focus on whatever he’s
asking me to master
and I’m gonna keep doing it until it
turns into a miracle look at this
oh my gosh thank you Lord Mastery is
preparation for a miracle he literally I
want you to go back to that scene he
said catch the fish and then watch this
he tells him to do something else what’s
the next instruction open the mouth of
the first fish you catch and you will
find a large silver coin now I bet Simon
Peter was thinking man I done fished a
lot
but usually when I open up the fish’s
mouth
ain’t nothing in there it took Faith
even though he was in an area of Mastery
it still took faith for him to see the
miracle write this point down it still
takes crazy Faith to get the coin
I don’t care how much mastering you have
in something you need God to walk with
you so that when he tells you to do the
unconventional thing y’all I wrote down
37 days after I became the lead pastor
of this church that this building would
be our church
that was me opening the fish’s mouth
and putting my hand in there oh that
feel weird
oh are they looking at me
oh what is going on and it still takes
crazy Faith to obey God it’s gonna take
crazy faith and this watch this watch
this and then it says and you we
everybody say will
and you will find a large silver coin
watch this write this point Mastery
gives you something to manage
it was because in a season
that he didn’t even know Jesus
he was working on a skill
when Jesus required it of him he had
enough Mastery to go catch the fish when
he caught the fish he had crazy Faith to
put his hand in the mouth
and when he got the coin now
he had something to manage
that man could have took the coin and be
like I’m out Jesus
I just got a Payday and I ain’t even put
nothing in I’m out and that’s what a lot
of people do they take the blessing they
forget about the blesser
and they go live it up with the coin
but what did he do he had something to
manage
what did Jesus tell him to do take it
and watch this pay the taxes for
both of us
huh
hold up was there enough
in his Mastery and obedience to the
master to not just provide for him
but it provided for somebody else
somebody shutting me overflow
last Point Mastery connected to the
master always gives more than enough
it was his ability to fish
and obeying God that paid for both of
them
to not have to go sell fish dinners
the Savior did not have to sell fish
dinners
because he stayed in his Lane and he
developed somebody in their area of
Mastery Pastor Mike what are you saying
to us never follow money
focus on the master
and mastery
that’s it
from now on y’all
we’re not following money
we’re following the master
and Mastery what is it that the holy
spirit is saying work on that a little
more
start doing that start reading about
that
start start
go pay to take a class from them
walk up to them and ask them how much
would it cost for an afternoon
I’m paying for that okay
but remember a master teacher can give
you what it took them 30 years to learn
in 30 minutes
Bishop is my witness I started off not
knowing anything about money budgets
anything I got Bank presidents on text
message
last week I can’t even tell you what
happened to me last week I ended up in
somebody’s house last week that if I
told y’all y’all would flip out I woke
up in the morning not knowing god was
going to make this connection by that
afternoon I was sitting in the largest
compound I’ve ever been in in my life
having a one-on-one conversation with
somebody who has changed the world
all I can do is look into this camera
very deeply
and let you know this was not
anything but God
that man gave me his cell phone number
and he said you call me anytime
you need anything
hold on there are some people that say
that and they can’t give you anything
let’s be very clear some people can say
call me if you need anything it’s like
yeah never mind
this person
when I say I could call him
if I needed anything
but why could God trust me with that
relationship
why could he bring me why did he why
she said because Michael you’ve you’ve
developed the key to the kingdom
mastery
in relationships
Mastery in communication Mastery in
getting in this Bible that’s why the
Bible says study
to show you to prove that you’ve been in
this thing
if you’re a graphic designer design
if you’re a singer Singh if you’re a
dancer dance if you’re administrator
administrator
commit
to another level of Mastery with the
master
if you do sign language sign
if you guys
if you organize
organize
from all this week we just gonna say the
same thing twice
if you taste food
taste y’all got it y’all got what I’m
saying like do you understand
like if you do fashion do fast
if you braid hair braid
like like I’m going to another level of
mastery
[Music]
if I teach
no matter what the school system says it
doesn’t matter what the principle what
they think and how they’re limiting the
kids and all that stuff you could be the
teacher that changed that child’s life
if you’re a teacher teach
[Applause]
commit to another level of mastery
because money
follows
Mastery and when you do money the King’s
Way it’s not hard it’s what Easy Money
standing everywhere
today I hope you feel
convicted
to go back and look at it again
you weren’t meant to just
weren’t to survive
can I say that again you were not
created by God to work to survive I need
everybody to focus in on me just for a
second you were meant
to thrive
and to expand the kingdom of God not in
heaven but right here on hands lifted if
you know there’s another level of
Mastery that you need to go to in an
area of your life I want you to lift
your hands today I’m just going to pray
over you
yeah at home right now this is a fresh
commitment
to whatever God wants to place your
hands on father in the name of Jesus
I pray for your people here I am leading
the charge God I’m asking you to give me
another burden
to come back again to you to ask you
what do you want me to put my hands to
today God I thank you that we’re
learning the kingdom principle of
Mastery father God whatever we have done
before it has been great and some of us
has not been that great but today we’re
making a fresh commitment we are turning
away from the way culture thinks about
this father God we’re not just trying to
scrape by we want to represent you and
your kingdom so today Father God I thank
you whatever our hands find to do we
will do it as unto you father I thank
you that there will be uh uh the the the
the the burden to be able to learn
father God the literal fire this one I
feel like the fire of God coming on us
to be a student again father God I thank
you that you would stir up the gifts on
the inside of us father God those things
that we have let lie dormant because it
didn’t seem like it was going to create
financial gain I thank you in the name
of Jesus that passions would come back
to people father that you would give us
fresh Vision whoa I feel God right here
fresh vision for where you want us to
spend our free time father I thank you
that you would teach us the
responsibility as well as father God the
Mastery father let us not leave
everything to go find this thing but
Lord teach us the tension of being
responsible for our family and our kids
and all of those things and working on
whatever you’re telling us to do father
give us the courage to downsize if we
need to
for a season
to be able to learn what you have for us
to learn
God I thank you that we only come to you
today in humility
[Music]
father no matter if we have enough money
or we’re just barely getting by God I’m
asking you
to give every one of your children
the ministry of mastery
father we want to be able to manage what
you give us your way but father God many
of us need more to manage
so today we realize and recognize we
change our mindset we change our
mentality
father God we are going to be
transformed by the renewing of our mind
work is not a bad thing it’s what you
gave us father God so touch our hands
give us the ideas father God show us who
we are to be on this Earth and let us
not just need to see a prayer answered
let us be the answer to prayer
father I thank you that you’re changing
us from the inside out and we will be
Kingdom ambassadors to expand your
kingdom we give you glory we give you
honor and we give you in Praise And what
culture has made hard with money God

loved the world that he did what
he gave

a maybe but he was hoping you would be
here watching this in this room today
so that you could have an opportunity to
give back to God what can I give God
your life

counter-cultural and it is because it’s
Kingdom

takes all your mess
