A Collision with Vision // Vision Sunday // Michael Todd

Today we received a collision with vision as Pastor Mike shared the importance of having vision in his first message of 2023. The most valuable thing we can have is vision because it is the key to our future. It gives us the ability to see what is INVISIBLE and make it POSSIBLE. Though your vision may seem out of reach, it is not out of sight. Pastor Mike shares what has come to pass over the course of his life as a result of valuing vision and he also reveals the word of the year for 2023! We believe that this is the year of Kingdom: The Rise of a Holy Rebellion. Watch this video for a life-changing word that will truly change how you see the rest of your life. #WordofTheYear #VisionSunday2023 #Kingdom #TheRiseofAHolyRebellion 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).

hi my name is Bree and I have the

privilege of serving as Chief of Staff

here at Transformation Church at TC our

vision is to represent God to the lost

and found for transformation in Christ

and we just want to say thank you so

much for tuning in from wherever you’re

watching from if you haven’t already be

sure to like And subscribe we believe

that God has a word just for you so

let’s jump into today’s message

all right so um I wore all all black

today because I’m ready to fight

and I think the whole series I might be

real like in all black I’m in business

um

I I have I have come

um on assignment

to deliver people

from themselves

if you thought half of what God thought

of you

you would not be in the position you’re

in today

but you have allowed the many layers of

lies to become

the covering of the true purpose of who

you were created to be

and today I’m On Assignment to unleash

and unlock you from you

I have been given a mandate and

assignment y’all can tell how I’m

talking I I am on a whole nother level

today

there’s an authority that I’m standing

here with that is not something of

speculation it’s proven

today I have to talk to you from not

what I’m hoping what I know

today I have to the reason I was born

was to help people find out God’s

purpose for their life

that’s the reason I was born even

tomorrow as we celebrate Dr King’s

birthday and all the things that he did

for this world I feel like Martin this

morning

no okay let me

I know that for some of y’all like how

could you say that because he wasn’t the

only one that was made to impact the

world in a significant way do I got any

World Changers in the room right now

I said do I got any World Changers in

the room right now they may I know who

you are yet

but I’m on my Martin swag this morning

why are you saying that because on the

inside of me I know God put something in

me

that’s supposed to spark something in

you and I didn’t put it there myself he

put it there and when he put something

there and we hide it from the world we

are robbing everybody

of God

if God put something in you

and you never put it in the world

you were robbing everybody not of you

but of God

and I’m sick of us using excuses

our family backgrounds generational

habits our own mistakes to disqualify us

from unleashing

in faith what God put on the inside of

us

and so today I I have been tasked with

the assignment to stir you up

the Bible says to stir up the gifts

I pray that every word that I hit it

reverberates in your heart

it gets down on the inside and you’re

gonna be watching football game and

you’re gonna be having the bubble guts

and it ain’t gonna be the tacos you ate

it’s gonna be that thing on the inside

of you that’s saying let me out

let me out I’ve been locked up in here

too long I let too many things have

excuses let me out God put oh my God let

me out this is the year that we gonna

let out what God put on the inside of us

Charles they better come get me let me

out

that book has been saying let me out

that Ministry has been saying let me out

that song has been saying what let me

out

[Applause]

that adoption Ministry has been saying

let me out

that curriculum has been saying let me

out

it’s been saying let me out and we have

allowed ah

we have allowed

the lies

to Cloud our vision

but today I’m I’m believing through the

word that God has given me

this year 2023 is going to be the year

that you let it out

uh somebody just say it by faith say let

it out

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah there’s

things coming out of you that you don’t

even know is there the

do you know the greatest version of me

is the stuff that I don’t even know is

there

but God put on the inside of me and I

just had to be obedient and disciplined

to allow myself to cultivate it and

develop it until it got out somebody

shouted me let it out

some of y’all you better just pause your

Instagram for a little bit cause you’re

gonna have to reintroduce yourself

people around you don’t even know you

yet cause you don’t even know you yet

but the thing that’s about to come up

out the inside is you is about to change

all your conversations your family your

finances and your day-to-day work

somebody say let me out

it’s Vision Sunday

[Applause]

and for anybody who’s here and thinks

this is hype you ain’t been here

anybody thinks I’m just up here sweating

to get a hooray I believe this with

every fiber

in my

like I can’t like my whole body’s

shaking right now

because if I could impart to you

what’s on the inside of me

you would no longer have any excuses

so what you could and could not do

because of who is on your side

it would be different if you made up a

plan by yourself and was trying to get

God to co-sign it

but there are some things that God has

placed on the inside of you that’s how

you know it’s him because you don’t even

want to do it oh come on anybody that’s

ever had a real vision

it ain’t even like I don’t even want

that

being up here I want this

this was a prerequisite for the purpose

he had to give me a platform for the

purpose

this year we stopped praying for

platforms

unless it has a purpose

I told the team I don’t want no more

Instagram followers unless I’m supposed

to impact a life

I don’t want no more speaking

engagements unless I’m supposed to make

an impact there stop playing for a

platform if it does not have a Time

purpose

y’all see ain’t even looked at my notes

yet

because something has risen on the

inside of me that wants to get you to

have Clear Vision

everybody shot at me vision

if I don’t do nothing else right

if I have failed at anything else or

everything else

the one thing that I can stand here and

say since 2015 that I have made an

intentional effort made time and have

not stood on this stage without is a

Clear Vision

now the reason why this is so important

is because everything that comes out of

life has been a result of somebody’s

vision

the shirts you have on was somebody’s

fishing the chair you sit in was

somebody’s fishing the screens that you

are watching this on was somebody’s

you are now experiencing the

reality that was not there but showed up

in one person’s heart

and now has been duplicated replicated

and

now it’s the normalcy

for everybody because one person got a

One Vision

what are you holding that we all need

what has been on the inside of you that

you let a career and a college diploma

keep you in a field

and never release release what God put

in you in faith

you are working on a retirement plan

when God has been trying to release

Revelation from your life

this is the season where we seek God for

Clear say the b word this

I want that word to haunt you

I want you to become like me a victim of

vision

I’m a victim of it

I can’t go a week without doing nothing

not because I’m I’m trying to avoid

something or not do something it’s

because I was laying that bed

and that Vision will start

and I’ll get random ideas at four

o’clock in the morning

and I’ll start praying about stuff and I

I’m watching a movie that’s all nothing

about it and God shows me a revelation

about what he called me to do how do we

get that out of the Goof truth

how is Max going over the crowd

as some of y’all know what I’m talking

about

how is him getting on the string and

going over the crowd and and becoming

something that he saw but it was a like

how did that speak

because I’m a victim of vision

God has shown me something and give me

glimpses of the future of me in the

future of you in the future of this

church in the future and the one thing

that I’m praying for everybody under the

sound of my voice is this is my first

message in 2023. I’m praying you have a

collision with vision

I’ma say it again I’m praying for every

person under the sound of my voice that

this year you would not be able to skate

by all the things that you’ve been doing

I’m praying you run smack dab in the

middle of vision I pray you have a

collision

with vision

I pray it knocks you off your feet

I

I pray that God gives you something so

clear it scares you

I pr I pray that you have a salt to Paul

moment

that that is so bright it blinds you

that it’s gonna take somebody laying

their hands on you

and saying yeah yeah and the scales will

fall from your eyes

some of y’all are going in directions

that you won’t even be in

12 months I’m I’m prophesying to you

right now

you will not even be doing what you’re

doing 12 months from now

the only way that you do that with

Assurance though

is that you get a vision from God

and today

that’s why I’m so excited we’re in uh

day seven of 21 days of prayer and

fasting

I’m so proud of you church and every

night we’re here at six o’clock and

we’re we’re pushing away social media

and we’re pushing away plates and we’re

pushing away because why we want to hear

from God see God gives us a template

that we can do all the time to get fresh

Vision if you’ve never known how to get

Vision I’m going to tell you real quick

in 10 seconds okay you pray and you talk

to God

you fear and that’s the awareness of God

you listen oh you thought you already

heard that one I said here hearing and

listening are two different things

hearing is the awareness there are all

type of sounds I hear in my house

something goes off kids screaming

somebody pooping like out of this all

kinds of sounds

but there’s a difference between hearing

it and then listening

and and we don’t just want to pray we

want to pray and then we want to hear

and then we want to listen that’s

intentionally focusing and even quieting

ourselves

what was that

is that hold on guy are you telling me

to forgive them

no no all last year 60 of my time was

being mad at them

I have so many comebacks

and and if we want to get Petty

I can be Petty McPherson I

but God hold on you’re taking away my

purpose at this moment he said exactly

hear me

hey crazy Faith offerings over now go

give

no no no no no no Remember December

December was when they did that

yeah yeah now I’m telling you

the Nuance of

hearing God and then listening to him

it’s the difference between obeying and

being confused about what God Said the

Bible says the steps of a good man a

good woman are ordered by the the only

way somebody when you pull up to that

drive-through can actually compute and

deliver your order is that they are

listening not just hearing

and what I’m telling you right now this

is the season

that God is requiring not for you to

just pray

not for you just here but for you to

everybody say listen

but then you have to have faith to do

this next thing receive

like like receiving vision from God is

more important than anything that you

will ever do

because a vision from God can change why

you do what you do

and what you do when you do it

a lot of us are doing stuff that we

don’t know if it’s the right thing

if I just be honest with you when I sit

down with people the truth of the matter

is they don’t know that if what they’re

doing is a part of the purpose they were

sent here for

and so they end up doing it for paper

instead of purpose

well at least I ain’t gonna be broke

while I do this

or at least I’m gonna have a diploma

we’re doing it for some pieces of paper

instead of purpose

and today I’m coming to shake you up I

don’t care and I even feel led by the

spirit to say this even if you’re in

your older age

there’s some people that are Plus 60.

that have written this thing off like

well I guess I’m just going to try to

enjoy the rest of my life God said no

he said I put you here for a purpose I

feel this thing

and there’s some stuff your latter I

prophesy to you is going to be greater

than your former you’re gonna do more in

the next 30 years of your life oh

somebody should get excited right now

then you’ve done in the form of 59 God

is about to use you you will be known

for what is to come

not what has been done

once you receive vision from God

it changes everything and this is the

last thing you can do all these things

but if you receive it and then you don’t

believe it it’s dead

so so you pray you hear you listen you

receive and then you believe

and this is the thing that I’m asking

everybody to do over these next 14 days

of we’re in prayer and fasting and today

I’m starting a vision series that I’m

gonna go until the Lord tells me to stop

because this this this prophetic word

that God’s given me today changes

everything

no no no no no no no no no no no no no

no

that’s how I feel on the inside about it

it changes everything

I may be in this series for two years

Charles I’m not lying to these people am

I

we this

is going to reshape the way we live we

think we move we give we serve

because it’s that important to the core

of what God called us to Earth to do

okay so so I’m asking everybody to mark

my words if you don’t believe in this

stuff all I’m asking you to do is hear

what I say today and then come check

back on us in a year

because for the last nine years when God

has said something Bishop

it has come to pass we don’t understand

it when he says it

but as we start walking through the

years like dang God told us this was

gonna happen God told us it held as an

anchor for us it gave us Vision to see

when everything was blurry and this year

will be no different this is proven and

I believe that this comes to us because

we have crazy Faith to believe God go to

Luke chapter 18 verse 8. do y’all know

God doesn’t want you to figure life out

I know this is a different concept than

you’ve been told he wants to tell you

what to do and he wants you to go in the

steps he’s already laid out for you

most people are just stubborn

disobedient

and have to learn the hard way

but that was not God’s intent for you

and I need everybody to know that

because it’s like oh you guys just gotta

have the Hard Knock Life

if you want to

like all things do work together for the

but you know all things can just work

okay I don’t um

like we say these things in preparation

for disobedience

I’m gonna miss God but you know all

things work together I’m strung out on

crack but all things work together I’m

gonna have babies with everybody but all

things yes

but if he’s giving me directions

and I’m stepping where he tells me to

step and I have accountability in the

community and no I won’t be perfect I

will be progressing but all things can

just work

but we’ve been conditioned

to believe

that we have to make so many mistakes

that it turns into this messy testimony

okay I’m I’m not saying that we ain’t

gonna go through our our crap

I’m just saying like stop planning for

it

okay I just gotta keep going

I have faith to believe that God can

speak I can obey and it will be the

Preferred Future for my life

somebody say Preferred Future

do you know God has a preferred future

for you

like like there’s his perfect will

and there’s this permissible will

like there is a will that God’s like

this is the chart that is going to give

them the course of their life and if

they run this just run the play

like just run this play at work every

time

every time

but then the one thing he gave us his

will

so he said go right but God I like left

leave them alone but they look so good

don’t eat that but bread

you said in your word bread of life

[Applause]

he’s like telling you like okay let’s be

honest we’re a humble open and

transparent Church how many people you

know God nudged you told you

specifically or encourage you not to do

something and you still did it

oh I love my church

because the one thing we gonna be is

real okay

well what if we would have obeyed that

what if we had Faith even when we didn’t

understand to do the things that God

says even though it don’t make sense

this is why in Luke 18 8 this scripture

has really

um impacted me because Luke is telling

what what God is wanting to see on the

earth that it seems like he may not find

look at it I tell you he will grant

Justice to them quickly but when the son

of man returns

how many will he find on the Earth

who have

faith

who will be here being like God I

believe you

no no no no no they left but I’m right

here ten toes down

like I believe you and the truth of the

matter is I can come into church and I

can find fun

I can find facts

I can find fear

but will we be a people of

it takes Faith to believe a vision

that’s not here

for me to see what is invisible

currently and start acting like it is

real now

that takes

you cannot have a vision with facts

you have to have a vision with faith and

I know this is going over some people’s

head but I’m Gonna Keep pounding it in

until something ends you clicks because

you were formed with faith

it’s in your DNA

there are things that you everybody uses

Faith every day

when you go out to your car

you’re using Faith but it’s so

dependable

that you don’t even think about it no

more

now some of y’all got to use crazy Faith

to start your car

you’re Anointed with four quarts of oil

every day

now think about it

when you go to sit down at a restaurant

you don’t say in the name of Jesus

father before I sit down

I thank you that this chair has been

constructed and crafted to hold up the

weight of my glory

no no no you’re so used to it doing what

it always has done even if you ain’t

said in that exact chair

that you just put your weight on it

God is asking us at the beginning of

2023.

would you please put your weight

on the words that I speak to you oh my

God if I tell you it’s gonna happen put

your weight on

if I speak that your family will be

healed put your way up somebody better

Drop It Like It’s Hot and put your

weight on what God has said about you

somebody shouted me put your weight on

it

you believe your employer more than you

believe God

they can cancel you tomorrow

but you wake up ready to serve them

ready to use your gifts for them

ready to abandon your family and all

others

God said I spoke

things over your life

still haven’t put your weight on

how long will you make me wait

for you to believe my word

and this is why I’m praying for a

collision of vision for you

I’m playing I’m praying that something

slaps you so hard

that you will not be able to continue to

do the mundane things that you’ve been

doing and using the weak excuses that

you’ve been using well I’m just a mom I

just have to make sure that my kids get

out of the house and God Made You More

Than Just a mom

yes you are supposed to nurture those

children but there’s a vision he gave

you the idea to nurture children to

nurture other things anything you touch

anything you get around anything that

you care for grows

stop letting the label limit you

Vision has to be valuable and I think

one of the things that um

I don’t know where it came from but I

thank God for it that was a nato in on

the inside of me is I’ve always been

able to see what wasn’t there

I can go back in my childhood

and I can think of things that I believe

could happen when there was really like

as I look as an adult there was no

reason it should be actually happened in

my life but I believed it

as I sit here with my parents in the uh

audience right now I remember believing

God I play drums growing up I remember

believing God for a custom drum set at

the age of 15 that cost nine thousand

dollars

now if your 15 year old is believing for

something it’s usually a car or

something like that I wanted something

to do with my purpose

I knew that music was a part of my

purpose and I begin to believe God for

something that was out of my reach can I

tell you about the time I was 16

had that drum set

now Mom am I telling the truth I still

have it to this day

it was such good quality that I’ve kept

it for decades

because I saw a vision and let me tell

you what I did first I drew that drum

set and put it on my Trapper Keeper

y’all remember Trapper Keeper y’all know

nothing about the folder that you could

do put something okay okay

can I draw no

y’all missed it are you an artist uh-uh

but all I knew was the word said write

the vision down

and make it plain and the greatest

offering I had at that moment was not

money

it was my time

and my watch this try

somebody’s greatest offering to see what

God has for them is not treasure and

it’s not time it’s a try

we have been at the starting line afraid

to try

and if you won’t try the supernatural

power kit of God cannot come in and

expand what he’s given you to do faith

without works is let me say it a

different way faith without trying

is dead

you so afraid of failing

and looking stupid to your friends they

already think you’re stupid

like let’s let’s let’s be honest

they already think you’re stupid and

they talk about you because they see how

much potential you have

and how little

you have planned for what God has for

you

write this down vision is most valuable

vision is

I do not know how to make this more

um important to you

but vision is more important than money

I want to say a lot of other things but

whatever you think is important

vision is more valuable than that

Proverbs 29 18 where there is no vision

the people perish

something dies where there’s no vision

another translation says where there is

no prophetic revelation of the future

people cast off restraints another

translation they stop caring

a lot of your apathy in your life is

because you don’t have a vision

and where there’s apathy depression

comes in

I want to give you a clinic right now

many of your anxiety and depression is

coming from not having a Clear Vision

and because you do not have a Clear

Vision you don’t feel like your life is

amounting to anything and so you allow

the lies of the enemy to convince you

that it would be better for you to stay

in this low place and not try and not

get from this place than to do the

things that God birth on the inside of

you if you get a vision

Everything Changes

vision is everybody say most valuable

Vision takes a man to the Moon Vision

builds airplanes in a bicycle shop

Vision makes you take off from the free

throw line Vision makes you build a car

with no motor Vision makes you build an

art when there’s no rain Vision makes

you put a baby in a basket when they’re

coming to kill all the young men and you

still get to raise him vision

somebody shouted me vision

Vision makes you leave your thriving

business and follow Jesus ask the

disciples

7 A.M in your daughter’s room and write

down outlandish things

that you would be in an arena 37 days

after you became the pastor

Fiji

will make you go to the cross

and die for people who may not accept

you

somebody shouted me vision

vision is valuable the question is has

Vision become a value

look what I just said

vision is valuable but it hasn’t become

a personal value

valuable is talking about the price of

something value is take talking about

the priority of something

where does vision fit in your priorities

okay

we’re not talking about just worth I’m

talking about

how does it impact your daily life okay

practical example everyone knows that

health is valuable

but health is not everybody’s value

everybody knows yeah I should be running

I should be drinking water I should be

doing this I should be doing that

but health is not a value to everybody

it proves about what we eat it proves

about what we drink it some of y’all pee

and it’s orange

y’all flush the toilet because when I go

into public places and I see that your

urine is the color of this Church’s logo

y’all nasty

having money is valuable

but has Financial stewardship become a

value

we know money but it’s not a priority

yet it’s why your kids got all the J’s

but you don’t have heat

how do you have a PlayStation 5 and no

hot water

okay y’all don’t want to talk real right

now y’all want to act like okay

people know that marriage is valuable

but they don’t value honoring their

spouse

like

God wants Vision to be not just valuable

he wants it to be your value

somebody say vision

is my top

value

now some of you just had to say that by

faith

but if you get a vision for your prayer

life

vision for your family a vision for your

home a vision for your health a vision

for working out a vision for having

healthy relationships yes all your

relationships are toxic now

but why don’t you close your eyes

and see it before you see it

see yourself actually calling people for

their birthdays and giving them a gift

without toxic underbelly of they begging

me something back why can’t you just

give just just get a vision

could you see yourself being the one to

say I’m sorry first

can you get a vision when you get a

vision of how God created things to be

and who he’s created you to be it

changes everything Vision must be a

value put that in a point I’m gonna put

it in a point so you can write it down

Vision must be a value okay

and once Vision becomes a valuable value

this is what I’ve seen in my life it’s

the most powerful force on Earth

vision is the most powerful force on

Earth that’s why you making a lot of

wild claims I’m telling you vision is

the most powerful force on Earth you can

see things that are not here yet

the Tesla is normal now

but do y’all know a car

driving with no motor in it

was not a thing

that was somebody’s Vision that came to

life

what

has God hidden

in you

that is supposed to be on earth

but cannot be released until you say yes

That’s my boy you coming so heavy I

don’t got another year to waste

I don’t have another moment to play

around with why God put me on this Earth

and neither do you write this down oh my

God okay vision is the ability to see

the invisible in order to make it

possible

that was too good and you didn’t get it

vision is the ability to see the

invisible it’s not here yet

in order to make it possible let me give

you a practical example 68 years ago

there was this record that nobody could

break at running the mile

nobody could run the mile in less than

four minutes

and 68 years ago Roger Bannister broke

the four minute mile

this hadn’t been done in years

one man does it

everybody sees what was impossible

become possible and do you know how long

Mr Bannister held that record

46 days

as soon as people

saw that the impossible was possible I’m

about to preach this thing

something on the inside of them said

hold on

he can’t be the only one

that has the ability to be able to

produce something that was impossible 50

days ago

and in 46 days

people begin to break it and since then

in one year four men broke it and now

over a thousand people

have broken that four minute mile why

because somebody had a vision that it

could be done

the thing about vision is vision

is the thing that God allows to come to

life so that you can break barriers for

others

the reason it’s got to come out of you

the reason I had to start Transformation

Church and I had to be the way I am and

I had to wear uh Jordans and have braids

and do it because there’s some Pastor

that’s going to Eclipse me 15 years from

now

that needed to see

that somebody could be themselves and

they can write blogs and they can make

YouTube posts and people who ain’t got

no lives can say whatever they want to

say they can point to my flaws but you

ain’t got no faith to believe God to do

anything no no no no no

God had to see somebody

[Applause]

the reason I’m talking so strong about

Vision because this may not be for

anybody in the room there’s somebody

watching me

she trying to bring the the thing that

you can’t see right now and see is it

possible and I’m here to tell you I’m a

living witness that God can take the

things that are not

the things that do not feel they told me

a multi-ethnic church in Tulsa would

never work

but they messed up because I was born

into higher dimensions and Bishop

Pearson I got to be born into a church

that I saw what was possible

and all I did was take what people said

couldn’t be done

and I submitted to the vision that God

gave me and said you got to do this and

I took steps of crazy Faith to see the

vision come to pass now when you look in

this church you don’t know if it’s a

white church a black church a Hispanic

Church you don’t know if it’s a skinny

people Church of fat people you don’t

know what kind of church this is

this is a church that looks like heaven

oh y’all missed it

he said as it is in heaven

let it be done I said as it isn’t what

we gonna do in heaven We’re Gonna

Worship we’re gonna praise we’re gonna

share we’re gonna love as it is

[Applause]

but it was what was not here

that God allowed to be possible I hope

something you are stirring right now

this is the biggest this is the biggest

thing I I I want to deposit into you

right now

vision is not out there

it’s in here

let me put it in a point vision is

hidden within you

this is where the enemy wants you to

shut off your ears

because you’re looking for something out

here

to spark you

and God said before you were in your

mother’s womb

I put it in you so you wouldn’t lose it

so I lead you to discover it

I need you to uncover it

there’s a reason why you get frustrated

at certain things that’s that Vision on

the inside of you

there’s a reason why certain things

catch your attention and you’ll be like

did y’all see that and they’ll be like

what and you’ll be like y’all didn’t see

that and it’s like nah bro I didn’t say

because there’s something on the inside

of you that’s trying to get a heartbeat

and a pulse you’re going to have to

excavate the things the excuses the

things your parents told you you

couldn’t do the things that Society told

you you would never do you’ve got to

discover what’s hidden on the inside

okay let me let me give you a scripture

you’ve never seen as a vision scripture

Ephesians 3 20.

now we know this but listen to listen to

the language that is used now unto him

who is able everybody say Abel

that’s talking about his power

to do immeasurably that means you can’t

measure it more than all we ask

think or imagine

according to his power

that is at work

within us

he’s not using any ingredients that you

already don’t have on the inside

[Applause]

the ingredients come in the Box oh shoot

don’t give me a present or a gift that

don’t come with all the pieces

at Christmas the one thing I can’t stand

is when they give you the toys for your

kids and some of y’all who ain’t parents

yet I pay people to put stuff together

now I don’t even I give you extra

hundred to just

because there’s nothing worse

than looking at the picture

and they got stuck four double a

batteries needed

I paid 129 dollars

but this Barbie Crap

and y’all couldn’t include

and don’t let it be the toys that asked

for like them them exotic batteries

y’all know what I’m talking about can I

get a c minus plus bat

you’ve got to go to Radio Shack and

ain’t no more Radio Shacks and it’s just

now you gotta order from Amazon your

kids looking like you’re a failure or my

toy doesn’t work and you’re like I

didn’t know

that it wasn’t included

God said I’m never gonna give you a

picture

that doesn’t have everything you need

included somebody needs to shout right

there if you’re supposed to be in the

platform everything’s included if you’re

supposed to be a CEO everything’s

included if you’re supposed to be a

teacher everything’s include

all right

[Applause]

he said I’m gonna do the work that I

place on the inside of you

if you would stop thinking that you’re

disqualified

you would begin to discover

this is the year of discovery

on what’s on the inside of you

stop saying what you don’t do

cause you don’t even know

me right out of high school I would have

tell you I don’t do public speaking

if you would have found me I I would

have told you all the things I didn’t do

when we tell God what we don’t do he

usually laughs

I can sense

you don’t

I don’t know how you doing all of that

Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready like

this is the year we stop telling God

what we don’t do

and we discover

is there something in me that I need to

cultivate is it something to me I need

to submit to Authority is there

something in me I need training on is

there something in me that I need to to

say I don’t understand this but I know

there’s something there

vision is hidden within you

and that’s why I need to let everybody

know that when God puts a vision in you

it’s not just good ideas

because right now as I’ve been talking

some of y’all been thinking of

uh um good schemes and ideas to get to

your version of success

many of the plans of a man

but it’s God’s purpose

that will prevail I would hate for you

to spend the next 15 years doing

something giving everything to something

that will never fulfill you

see when it’s God’s Vision it’s

connected to purpose

and when it’s connected to purpose it’s

going to help you fulfill your destiny

and when you fulfill your destiny you

are fulfilled there are people right now

that only make ten thousand dollars a

year and who are fulfilled

you said there’s no way

you said ten thousand

there’s no

fulfillment is more valuable than zeros

in the bank

there are people with millions of

dollars no peace

no no contentment always on tonight the

Bible says the blessings of the Lord

maketh rich and addeth no soft if

there’s sorrow with it it might not have

been a blessing from the Lord

the enemy gives blessings too

okay let me that was too deep for

somebody because you’ve been driving

around a blessing from the Devil

stressed every month

lying to people telling them you’re

gonna pay them back you never gonna pay

them back you’re losing Equity with the

people you’re supposed to reach

cause you got approved for something

when you had a 540 credit score and you

called it a miracle and God said that

was a test

I wanted you to learn discipline

I wanted you to know everything that is

good is not God

[Music]

because as I Elevate you you’re going to

have to know that they’re going to be

more and more opportunities that come

but everything that comes is not me

some stuff comes just because you’re

good

the better you get at mastering what God

has given you there are opportunities

that are going to come because you’re

just good

and every good opportunity okay we’re

not talking about Pride how many Pride

how many people have worked at something

and become good at it hands I need this

false humility in the body of Christ to

be shut up

we gotta be good at stuff

that makes it more dangerous when

opportunities come though

because when you’re good at stuff

it means that you get opportunities that

can seem very close to being God

but that’s why we have to go back to the

thing we gotta hear

we gotta listen we gotta receive why

because we want to do what God has for

us that is the vision for our life so we

fulfill the purpose of our life and we

are actually walking in Destiny Okay so

Colossians chapter 1 verse 16. for in

him all things were created

things in heaven and on Earth visible

and invisible whether Thrones or powers

or rulers or authorities all things have

been created watch this

through him

for him

everybody say through him

for him

if your vision is not coming through him

and when you do it it doesn’t give glory

to him

it’s not a vision from God

these are the filters I want you to be

able to put your life through

so so when you when you um

when you make a song called pop that

popsicle

Stay With Me

and it goes number one on every chart

and and and you got Tick Tock videos of

little girls popping a popsicle

and then you win the award and you stand

up and say I want to give all glory to

God

cause without him

you know what I’m saying and then I want

to give a shout out little man man

little GT and little ZZ and

that wasn’t a vision from God

because I promised you that wasn’t given

through him

and it didn’t give glory to

I’m I’m trying to I’m trying to help

somebody understand that will be a

blessing that comes with sorrow

you better stop comforting what other

people have

because you don’t know what sorrow is on

the other side

not know what sorrow is on the other

side of people doing it and this is the

equation that you need to be praying and

believing God for his vision through you

for his glory

his vision through me for his glory

everybody say it his vision through me

for his glory give me a vision for

education

do it through me

let me get the team let me see the

pieces bring the pieces that don’t I

don’t have and God whenever this is said

and done

Let It Be For Your Glory

let me go into entertainment and let me

work with the people who made pop that

popsicle

see okay

it’s not to be like oh my God about the

popsicle people

that’s who I’m called to

but I’m gonna do my business in such a

way

that when they come around me the

atmosphere changes this this feels

different than any production company

I’ve ever worked with this is this is

different and when it’s said and done

let it be for his glory

if you can’t put your business through

that filter

you might be fulfilling the wrong vision

this

I’m submitting to you humbly

that God is Not blessing anything that

he does not author

and many people are blaming God and are

frustrated for Visions he never promised

he would fulfill

today I want us to all go back to him

and say God give me a fresh Vision come

on hands lift it right now ah God give

me a fresh vision

come on say it to him God give me a

fresh vision

clarify the vision of my life come on

give me a vision that wakes me up give

me a vision that prepares me ah give me

a vision that propels me

For Your Glory

this is what we write down

this is what we pray for because this is

the crazy thing

God does nothing on this Earth without

us

now if I was God I would skip y’all

no Jessica I’m just honestly just me if

I was God and I blew on them zinc Vision

done

but he desires

for other men who don’t believe

to see his glory through you

so he says I ain’t gonna do the vision

that I got and could provide for and I’m

well able to do more than that

unless I have a vehicle

vision

needs a vehicle

and my question to you is will you be

that vessel

God has been searching for things

for searching for people who would do

the things he’s asked them to do

and will you stop wondering trying to

drive all up and down all these Hills

and highways figuring out what has God

sent me here for he said would you just

let me in

and be a vessel for me to use

what I found is that God is a good

investor

and he’s looking for a good investment

and I told God about 10 years ago

I’m a good investment

you give it to me you gonna see a return

on this

and any good investor no I know some of

y’all haven’t started investing yet but

I’m believing as we start going through

some of the things I’m about to teach

you your whole mind is about to change

God is an investor you can look at the

parable of the ones that he gave one two

two five two he said the master went

away and he asked them to watch over

what he gave them and and when they came

back the one had doubled it the other

one had double it and then one of them

buried it

they took what God gave them

and they protected it instead of pushed

it forward

I’m asking the church

would you please open your life

to be a place where God can invest his

vision

so what’s in heaven

can come to you and through your Works

your obedience and your prayer it come

to life and actually be real for people

stop praying as it is in heaven let it

be on earth if you’re not going to be a

vessel

cause he can’t do it without you

it’s in heaven but don’t use me

we want your kingdom to come but do it

through another group

what

God let your glory fit he said I’m not

filling an arena

I’m feeling a person

with my full expression and now I need

them to do what I ask them on the Earth

this is why

this is why

Vision write this down is God’s

investment in you

and I believe that God is going to

invest fresh Vision in everybody under

the sound of my voice

this is a message you need to watch back

you need to hear you need you need to

study because the keys I’m giving you a

vision right now is the thing that took

me from us having 300 people on the

north side of Tulsa me standing up in

2015 telling people that God’s gonna do

something powerful in this church

me standing here with people looking at

me cross-eyed I remember this gentleman

literally nodding in the front row just

I mean it was the most distracting so I

just I just acted like he was agreeing

with me ain’t that right

God’s gonna do it

I mean

I I remember

us not having anything to feed our

volunteers

and people bringing their own like

snacks from their house

to be able to say thank you to I

remember but God gave me a vision

I need to tell somebody all you have is

all you need

vision is the key to your future

that word Vision in the Greek is the

word Optica okay it means coming into

view

what are the things that God’s showing

you that’s coming into view this year

they haven’t been there yet but my

family is coming into view whole my

health is coming into view I’m seeing

something different than I’ve ever seen

seeing it before you see it

seeing beyond your sight

and a lot of you this whole time have

been thinking I’ve been saying vision

and you you compute sight

is what you see with your eyes open

yeah I don’t have the money for that

they deny me for school

nobody in my family’s ever done that

close your eyes everybody right now

close your eyes

see

what you don’t need anything but Faith

to see

see yourself happy

see yourself whole

see yourself serving

see you in your new house

see you giving away cars

see you being a blessing to everybody

that’s around you

see you obeying god without back and

forth

come on see it I’m asking you to see

what is not yet reality

see it before you see your kids actually

talking to you with respect

see you free from that addiction

get a vision oh I feel the presence of

God

some of you are going to spend more time

with your eyes closed over this next

month

then with them open

see your body

responding in health

see it

see you falling in love with the word of

God

see yourself being an aide

and not a hindrance to the people around

you

I want you to begin to meditate

on the things that God has said about

you

even when your situation looks

completely opposite

vision

is an internalized clear picture that is

considered worthy of being pursued

the vision that you see in your mind

right now that God is dropping in your

heart it’s internalized clear picture

nobody else can see it but it’s

considered worthy of being pursued

this is the year that you’re going to

pursue what you cannot show everybody

but what you see clearly

I’ma say that one more time this is the

vision this is the thing you’re going to

pursue what you can’t show everybody yet

very clear

on the inside of you

see this is the thing I found out about

vision

should be Out Of Reach but not out of

sight

if the vision is not bigger than you

it’s not a vision

it’s just something you need to plan for

some of y’all don’t need a vision to be

out of debt you just need to make a

budget

but to be able to help people come out

of their financial struggle and be able

to be an investment to other people now

I need God’s help it should be Out Of

Reach but not out of sight

oh I’m telling you I’m giving you keys

right now

it’s important to pursue those things

that are not watch this Vision should

not be easy

it should be something that you could

not do on your own

a vision

should be difficult to pursue

and demand the assistance of God

I’m trying I’m trying to tell you like

just getting the house is not a vision

building the community is

okay

I I’m scared to say some stuff to to I’m

scared to say some stuff to y’all

because it’s gonna make you think I’m

crazy but I am and so

I have plans to build a community

[Applause]

I’m gonna say it over here I have played

not the church Michael Todd

they missed it Brent they missed it

Cordell my plan for my family is to have

a community

that people can’t even clap because they

don’t know nobody who’s ever done it

when my kids graduate high school I plan

for them not to buy their first home I

plan to give them their first one

it’s only crazy till it happens Cordell

you already know I’m planning for it you

already know

I bought land last year

see this is

I’m not just talking about I’m living

this

I bought land last year I bought 40

acres last year and I’m getting a truck

and I’m gonna put the title meal I got

my 40 acres in a meal like

[Applause]

I bought lint ma am I telling the truth

I bought 40 acres last year and ain’t

nothing on it

and I go out there every week

there go Bella house

hey baby

oh yeah

they’ll go MJ house

hey Bob

get off get off

I could have bought a house with the

money

but I had to give my vision a place to

grow

[Applause]

I I almost want to walk off the stage

right now boy you preaching I know you

doing that thing you doing it boy

[Applause]

have you given your vision a place to

grow

are you so connected to government

assistance

ain’t nothing wrong with it

if you need it

but if that’s where you have settled

you have settled below

where God has called you to live

I’m trying to bust your ceiling today

what do you need to do

to prepare a place for your vision to

grow

it may not be 40 acres

it may be forty dollars in a in a

savings account

did you just name that account

blessed to be a blessing

and every month you just put forty

dollars in there and when God increases

you put more in there and wait

I did this

like like I’m just telling y’all right

now

10 years ago we me and Natalie made an

account just to bless people

that had less than a hundred dollars in

it

now that account does things that change

people’s lives

not in services not on platforms not in

it’s literally

my car

you sure that wasn’t the Taco Bell

all right

you run the target I’m gonna go across

the street to a car dealership I’ll buy

my car

the reason I’m saying this stuff to you

seven years ago it was in

it was impossible

but I still had the vision

I could not do it

but I could see it

and what I’m telling you right now is

God’s not limited

to what you have seen

he’s only limited to what you can see

I remember

like

being in a place and being scared to

declare my vision

and I know a lot of people are there I’m

almost done y’all but somebody’s life

depends on this

um

I remember

thinking that people would

think

like I was

not just crazy but like

I was like proud and prideful

if I declared what God Said

like I don’t want nobody to see me like

that I don’t want anybody and God said

do you care about how they see you

or how I see

you and God will God really encouraged

me he said do not ever

devalue the vision I give you

don’t ever step back from

step away from the light that’s produced

with the vision I give you now if you

produce the vision if it’s just a good

idea get away from that quick

but if I tell you this is what you’re

gonna do

I need you to believe it Proclaim it and

be sure of it

And I said Okay God

um

but could you tell a couple people

no

could you you know

it would really look good

if a couple other people

had the same uh

Direction

and this is what God told me and this is

going to free some body vision is given

to a person

but always fulfilled by a people

God never gives a vision to a group of

people

but he never allows a vision to be

fulfilled without a group of people

oh God

so there are things that other people

are dependent on you to release

so that they can be in their vision

had I not obeyed God to start

Transformation Church do you know how

many people would not have moved to

Tulsa how many people would not oh my

God but it goes back further than that

if Bishop Pearson would not have come

and Bishop Gary and my parents would not

have obeyed god with the vision of a

church that did not was not in existence

I would never be late goes back further

than that my godfather passed away this

past week

George finnett

and I began to think before I spoke this

message

he was the John the Baptist of this

whole group

he came to Tulsa with Bishop Pearson and

my dad’s best friend and all these

different people and he was always

saying y’all come to Tulsa

God shown me something

Destiny our worship leader that’s her

father

it’s my God that I’ve known him my whole

life

and as I began to listen to the stories

it was the vision that he saw

that God showed him at Tulsa being a

Gathering Place

of all these great men and women of God

coming here I would not be in Tulsa

today

was it if it was not for George Vanette

you’ve never seen him on the platform

but the vision of one man

ran throughout the lives of so many

people

and has me on this platform today the

last time I saw him alive was the day

after Christmas

and he came over to my house to get some

gnats crack and cheese

it’s good

and as he sat there

at my

Island

I came out

and he started to weep

and in his older age he began to cry all

the time

like if you saw him any moment he would

just begin to cry and say how proud he

was

and he said this is what I saw

he came to version one conference and

just cried

this is what God showed me

this is what I’ve seen the worship and

the praise and the people and this this

is what I saw

and if God could give somebody a vision

one person

but it take a people

for it to be fulfilled

what could God do with us

it is a limitless

what could happen if all of us got

behind the vision of what God has said

for this church

and we just believed it

and we lived it and we served it and we

gave to it and it honestly brought every

Vision that we’ve ever had all together

because all things do work together

for the good of those who loved them

loved and called when I think about God

giving Vision to a man or a woman Moses

was given a vision but God had to go get

the people out of slavery he delivered

the people so they he can have the

people to be able to fulfill the vision

Paul had a vision to reach the Gentiles

and he had to gather a team of people

Silas Timothy Barnabas a group of women

so that they could carry out the vision

me I have a vision for this church

representing God to the laws and Bound

for transformation of Christ God is

gathering people

from all over the world

a people to start a revolution to do

something that has never been done Jesus

was given the vision to establish his

kingdom here on Earth but he had to do

it with 12 disciples

this is what I’m praying for everybody

that you would have a collision with

vision

the one warning I’m going to give before

I give you the word of the year is that

when God gives Vision write this down

Vision demands discipline

this is why a lot of the things that God

said we don’t see

because if he said it we want him to do

a magic trick

he said but this thing is so great

you’re gonna have to be disciplined

you’re going to have to be consistent

you’re gonna have to do it when nobody

else is doing it

Robert Proverbs 29 18 where there is no

vision

the people

perish

Hebrew that means store off restraint or

it means they throw off self-control or

it means they throw off self-discipline

when there where there is no vision

there’s no self-discipline

if a person doesn’t have a vision for

their lives they lose self-discipline

can I say it in the point that hit me

Vision makes you organize your life

when you get a show enough vision from

God yes I said show love

when you get a show enough vision from

God it don’t got to be big it’s just got

to be I know this is it

it makes you organize

a real Vision a collision with vision is

dangerous

when God gave me this Vision I became

dangerous

and I’m praying that you get a clear one

because if you ever find a vision for

your life you might lose some friends

if you ever find a vision for your life

you might lose some excuses if you find

a real vision for your life you might

lose some weight if you find uh

let me be real

God came to me two years ago no let me

go back before that I’m trying to show

y’all for my real life I’m not preaching

something that I I ain’t living what

happened was God told me five years ago

he said Michael I only can bless the

ministry to the level your body can take

it

and I was like my maybe my preaching

he said no your body

you are unhealthy and you do not look

like I’ve been good to you

make you want to eat in secret like hold

on God

but for two and a half years

I ignored the word of the Lord

I went in to get some tests

I was trying to get insurance from my

family and they was like yeah buddy no

I’m like what are you talking about

they said uh this is what’s going on

this is what’s going on this is what’s

going on I said what’s the cause he said

if that’s a direct reflection of your

weight

I said God he said I told you

it wasn’t even I

two years ago in the time of prayer and

fasting 264 pounds

out of weight up here just the weight of

his glory was right here

it was all right here you can go back

and watch all the video my face just was

full of Chinese food full of crispy

green Donuts full of Blue Bell cookies

and cream

with root beer

oh y’all gonna be fake and whipped cream

and cherries so

[Applause]

oh

and God said Michael

I wasn’t motivated

I felt like I’ve seen fat preachers all

my life

y’all gonna be fake like

I’ve seen people do stuff unhealthy

their whole life like

he said I didn’t ask you

what I allowed them to do

I gave you an assignment

and then he gave me a vision

he said Michael

the thing that I haven’t told you

because I was trying to see if you would

obey me just on my word

is that there are tons of athletes who

need salvation

and you have the package

spiritually but you don’t have the

packaging

they won’t hear anything you say because

they can see how you live

that’s so disrespectful

yeah true

he said I’ve held back a piece of your

influence

because you won’t obey me

and I got a vision of me

sitting down and praying with LeBron

I got a vision of me counseling these

guys through marital problems I got a

vision of me and Charles and my brother

brentum and us going flying into a city

nobody knowing

baptizing a whole team of people y’all

I’m

I’m just telling you what I got a vision

of

and when I got the vision when I saw I

can’t even barely get tickets to a game

okay so that’s not possible right now

but when I got that vision

it organized my life

I told my trainer I said every day meet

me wake me up

wake me up at 6am

I put the gym I took the excuses away I

took the gym from down the street I put

in my garage the car is getting rained

on snowed on all that stuff this body

we would take better care of a vehicle

that will depreciate as soon as we drive

it off the lot instead of taking care of

the one vehicle we get to do this

purpose

no put the Tesla outside

and let me take care of this Temple

the vision organized my life

eat meal prep

one cheat meal with date night

no ice cream for eight months

yes Lord

I’m your humble servant

but I did it

[Music]

but I did it

but you gonna do it whatever God has

given you a vision for you can organize

your life

to live it out

Vision becomes the source of

self-discipline

it’s a source

and that’s why I came to tell you the

greatest weapon

of our adversary the devil against your

life is to get you involved in good

things that are not the right thing for

your life

I’ma say that one more time

okay the greatest weapon of Satan is not

to get you to do bad things

he knows you’re too good for that you

know you’re not gonna go off and do bad

things he just gets you preoccupied with

a lot of good things

so that you never do the right thing

this is the year we stop doing good

things this is the year we get Clear

Vision and do the right thing

life gives you what’s good Vision tells

you what’s right

okay as we as we move into this what I’m

asking everybody to do is habeka 2 2. we

got 14 more days of prayer and fasting

if you have not joined us in this time

you need to start eat your last piece of

meat today

and at midnight start with us do

something give up something and begin to

pray and fast for a Clear Vision from

God we’ll be here praying tomorrow night

I’m gonna lead us in prayer like I want

you here six o’clock if you can fill

this building get in here the vision is

more valuable than anything this year

if we get it right right now we’re gonna

get it right for the rest of this year

and then I’m asking you to do what

Rebecca tutu says then the Lord answered

me and said right

the vision

it’s not a vision if it’s in your head

it only becomes a vision when it’s

written down

and make it plain on tablets that he may

run who reads it another translation

says and God answered write this write

what you see

write it out in big block letters

so that it could be read on the Run what

are you saying Pastor Mike Vision must

be visible and vision must be vocal

if it’s not visible and you’re not

saying anything about it it’s not a

vision it’s a dream

and a lot of us have been daydreaming

and God wants a vision to actually come

to Earth

can I show you just a quick video from

2017 where I was speaking things that

weren’t happening

and they’re happening right now I want

you to see it before you see it take a

look at this and then we’re going to

close when I talk about Vision I’m not

just talking about this church I’m

talking about your life he wants you to

see something with your eyes closed

you have sight

you only regurgitate what you actually

see

[Music]

when I look out at this audience I don’t

see y’all

y’all are beautiful y’all are wonderful

but I don’t see this I close my eyes and

I see the auditorium

10 000 people per service

coming into this experience and I see it

and so that’s why I give everything I

don’t see what I see

if you could open your eyes of faith not

to be limited by sight but be able to

get a vision and see

I am standing in a place that I did not

have sight for but that God gave me

vision

foreign

only God can do this

somebody shouted me vision

vision

vision

[Applause]

I’m nobody from nowhere that God spoke a

Clear Vision to

and all of this has happened

because I had Faith to believe

he is no respecter

of persons

this is the year we get Clear Vision

from God and I gotta say this because

what I’ve recognized some people are so

down right now hurting right now

frustrated so damaged by the last loss

they don’t feel like God can use them

but what I’ve found is every time I’ve

gotten Vision Vision came in the valley

God trusts people with vision in the

valley

when you don’t feel like anybody sees

you

when when when when you’re not when

you’re not on top when everything is is

going wrong and everything doesn’t seem

profitable and you should be blowing up

but everything seems real normal or

nobody sees your true gifting and that

prophetic grief nobody’s calling on God

says I’m giving you vision for the

future in the valley

you need this moment

to prepare you

for what you’re actually going to do

today if you feel like you’re in the

vision in the valley I want to let you

know that when God gives you this Vision

even when your bank account seems

negative and you got five credit cards

that you still owe people on and your

family is not together whenever God

gives Vision vision is for victory

God never gives you a vision that he

implant that he intends not to come to

pass

he never told somebody to do something

he was like wait till this fails

vision

and what God is about to show his church

is a vision that is going to come to

pass somebody say vision

is for victory

every year God has given this church a

word as a model

to let you know that he will speak to

you and every year he has done exactly

what he said and church I have the word

of the year for this year I can’t

okay

I’m so excited about this but let me let

me let you know that God proves himself

2015 we take over the church and

literally I’m just praying that God does

not kill me as the pastor of the church

and and and God literally gave us this

word survive

and there are some Seasons that you just

have to Simply what survive

it’s not a forever season but it’s a

season people were coming people were

going people were voting people were

saying he too young they I don’t like

that I don’t like that and God said I

need you to stay clear to the vision

even through adversity

survive this and then in 2016 God said

all right give me another word Lord he

said maintain

see all the the words God gives you is

not sexy

some of them are just instructions

I need you to maintain this I need you

to stay here I need you to keep your

eyes on me and it was 2016 when there

was a breakthrough and God took us now I

want you to see this was our whole

volunteer leadership team

this is nobody was paid on this picture

no no no

I need you to understand that my parents

and uh the peas and Pastor Barbara and

Tammy and Warren and Francine and Scott

back there just did he wasn’t doing

nothing and

uh like Demario like

people you still see around today

but I I I told them what I saw

and somewhere in them they believed what

they saw that they didn’t see

they believed what they saw that they

didn’t yet see and in 2016 God said we

could go beyond and in 2016 the budget

grew four hundred thousand dollars and

400 families joined the church you

couldn’t tell me nothing in 2016.

I said God God has done what he said he

was going to do 2017 he gives it to me

in 16 and he does a 17. okay so beyond

here and then we went to the next year

and the next word was stride

he said yeah

you grew

find the pace of Grace

stop using all your effort and energy to

make this happen

and rest in my grace and we cut things

and we stop doing things and we we said

God okay we’re gonna we’re gonna step

back and God said all right watch me

work and that’s when the little series

we did relationship goals went viral and

literally once that happened we had no

social media team we had no video

editors we had nothing we were posting

those sermons on YouTube and we were

getting 24 views

every week

like I want to let y’all know how it

really started but God said maintain so

he said be consistent put the videos up

there and my mom in her little prayer

group was watching the videos nobody was

watching them videos and that was so

good Michael I was like thanks Mom like

and she’d been my cheerleader ever since

and but God said all right now watch me

work

that two minute clip with the little

orange balls and all that stuff went

viral on Twitter two million people

watched it in 48 hours and it was a two

minute clip and they start going to

figure like where’s the rest of the

sermon we went from 1800 YouTube

subscribers to over 250 000 in 30 days

like and it ain’t never stop since then

but he said when you do less

[Music]

so I like dang this Vision thing is

working

and then God said to us something so

clear in 2019 he said this is the year

of release

he said Michael stop holding everything

and let it go so I can give you what

you’re supposed to have

in 2019 this is a personal thing

God asked me to release

itinerant Ministry for six months

many people don’t know this but once

relationship goals went crazy and I

preached that Elevation Church

I went from four speaking engagement

requests

the year before and I took every single

one of them

everyone

to over 3 000 speaking engagement

requests in 12 months

and the Holy Spirit told me

in the middle and the height of going to

every church I’ve ever wanted to go to

and meeting people and they paying me to

be there I’ll pay you to be here like

all this stuff my wife was slipping into

depression

because MJ had autism

and I was gone

and God said Michael I need you to

release something and I’m like God

whatever you want

this mountain type that you think you’re

on

I need you to give up every speaking

engagement

what

hold on God this is what’s going to get

me out of debt

this is what’s gonna take me hold on God

this is how people this is how I’ma

build your platform

this is how I’ma help you

come on

[Music]

that’s what you call me to this is I

thought

he said I called you to be a wife a

husband to your wife

I don’t even care about none of this my

picture of the family on Earth is that

man that woman and them children

he said I need you to choose in private

what is going to affirm you publicly

and you remember it Brent we sit in my

Natalie almost punched rent him in the

face

because Brent wanted to travel he was my

assistant he was like yo

and Natalie looked at him he said never

mind

I mean we had a this is real

and I took a big red marker

and I put an X through every month

on the calendar from July to December

I can’t God said release it to me

I’m not talking from a idea

this is what I’ve lived

he said it was the year of release I

didn’t know he was going to ask for the

thing I thought I wanted

release it

gave it to him

and then God gave us this building

I didn’t know my releasing of this

personal desire

would produce the vision he gave me 37

days after I became the lead pastor

he said yeah yeah you would have been on

the road and you would have missed

being right here to lead the charge to

get the building they told you was

unavailable

we got the building we came in here we

celebrated we weren’t supposed to be in

here we had conference here and then the

Lord said you can’t go back

and we stayed here and literally God did

so many amazing things in this year and

then we went to 2020 and God said this

the year I’m gonna make you stronger and

I was like let’s go I stood on the board

I was like drunk yeah

did all that yelling and sweating

we cut the ribbon grand opening

pandemic Grand closing

yo I cannot make this up it was like

grand opening see you in three years

what

his ways are not our ways

his thoughts are not our thoughts in

2020 we got stronger

because he took everything conventional

away from us and said you got to rely on

me and that’s why when we got to 2021 he

said now this is the year you got to be

anchored

you gotta drop on what I said

you cannot be bothered by who opens back

up you cannot be bothered by the climate

of who comes and who goes what happened

I need you to drop your anchor on me

Michael and this church dropped their

anchor and said we’re going to be

faithful to what you say God

in 2022 while we were back in our old

building

God said all right

you ready for the word for 2022 it’s

like not really

no cause when God stops speaking and now

you know it’s going to come to pass it’s

like what you about to say

you feeling good this morning like

but he said this he said Michael here

is

holy

and I didn’t understand it for real he’s

like everything you walk into this year

no matter how it feels I meant for you

to be there

and then

the spit hit the fan

I mean the first Sunday a year ago today

the spirit is the fair heater told me

here is Holy and I’m like this

this is what you want

he said this is the year of intentional

limitation

I had to do something that would not

discredit your character but I had to

get the fans away from here

hey stuff is 2020 hindsight doc

he said I need to clear out the fans and

I need to raise an army

and he said so I had to do something

that would not discredit your character

people do a lot nastier stuff of spit

but

[Applause]

but he said I had to get the fans out of

here

I had I had to I had to get people who

who their families like you still go to

that church and somebody like yeah

I had I had I had to get some people

with sin in the game

you couldn’t be just standing out here

by yourself that’s why everybody in here

you ride a doctor you’re gonna help me

see the vision that God gave me and put

in my heart it’s gonna come to pass

she had to do something

[Applause]

to weed out the people who would not do

anything to participate

the people who are here want to be here

the people who watch in transformation

can we give it up for transformation

Nation who have been right outside y’all

my people from Alaska to California to

Hawaii to the Bahamas to Africa to New

York to Texas let’s go

[Applause]

but he said I’m clearing out fans and

I’m raising an army

and everybody don’t want to go through

the training it takes

so he said Michael now you’re ready for

the work I could not have given you this

word any other year

he said but this word

is going to change the trajectory of

this church

Transformation Church the word for 2023.

God specifically told me that this is

the year of kingdom

oh

[Music]

oh

2023 it’s the year of Kingdom his

kingdom comes his will be done where on

earth oh we bout to tear this thing up

and God’s kingdom is about to raise up

in US

assistant here of Kingdom

now watch

let me

God told me he said the reason I had to

raise up an army

is because this is the year

of the rise of a holy Rebellion

[Music]

we

we are about to rebel against culture

against social norms they said their

Church don’t have no power wait till you

come into this place the blind eyes will

see the lame will walk people will be

healed of traumas y’all better see it

before you see it people will be

financially turned around change will

break off of people this is the year of

kingdom

put that put me up there with the

graphic let me preach this graphic real

quick and I’m telling you the next six

weeks

every message I preach is going to be a

revolutionary life transforming message

you’ve never heard this before

I am so full

of this Kingdom message right now it’s

the only message Jesus preached

when he came on the scene and he started

his Earthly Ministry do you know what

his words were repent

[Music]

for the kingdom of God

is here what

the kingdom of God is here

we don’t understand it but I’m going to

explain it to you over this next season

and over this next year and over this

next two years and over this next this

is now the end of an era and a start of

something new

our church is going to be a kingdom

Church

that’s not a cliche that’s a mandate

we’re gonna give more than we’ve ever

given we gonna set up shop and culture

we’re going to help people see Jesus

somebody shouted me Kingdom

the K is backwards because everything in

the kingdom is opposite of culture

the ing is emphasized because everything

in the kingdom is active we are moving

we are giving we are loving we are

learning there’s about to be a lot of

learning happening

the Dome is the conjunction which means

domain

which is the first instruction that that

we were given in the garden it said to

rule subdue and dominate on this Earth

the reason the body of Christ has been

begging is because we lost our kingly

power to dominate things on this earth

oh and God said he’s about to give us

access to new domains oh we walk in and

stepping in new domains

foreign

in the middle of it because God is the

center of everything that we’re doing

and he holds everything together if

you’re ready to Embark in faith in the

vision of living in the Kingdom would

you give God one big shot of Praise in

this

by Faith by Faith by Faith by faith

Kingdom families Kingdom relationship

Kingdom businesses Kingdom Lifestyle by

faith we believe your word god

okay

[Music]

I want to preach it now but I can’t

I’ve talked to you for 101 minutes

emptied out my soul

to let you know that we’re about to have

a collision

with fish hands lifted all over this

place God I thank you that what you’re

birthing in this people is a rise of a

holy Rebellion

the vision is for victory

and father you give us Vision at the end

of the day it happens to us but it’s For

Your Glory

so that others can see that you are God

father even in this atmosphere if

there’s anybody watching listening or in

this room

that they know they’re far from you but

today they saw a vision of themselves

close to you walking with you giving up

those things that have been substitutes

giving up weed giving up

alcohol giving up those people pleasing

relationships giving up their will

today Father I thank you in this

atmosphere there’s an atmosphere of

Grace and love

and God I thank you that nobody

listening feels less than but they

actually feel worthy that you would send

your son Jesus over 2 000 years ago

just for a maybe

you would sacrifice his life

so that we could have eternal life with

you that was the vision that you started

with

today I thank you that we are a

recipient of that vision

if you’re in this room you’re listening

and you want to make Jesus Christ your

personal Lord and Savior I’m telling you

like the one you’re gonna see with him

walking side by side with you it took me

from being a liar a manipulator somebody

who was addicted to pornography had a

lot of really dark bad things in my

heart and acted on a lot of those things

it took me from that to not being a

perfect man but a progressing man today

I want to offer you the gift

a life-changing gift of Jesus Christ

I want you to see the vision of your

life being different not without him but
