what’s going on my name is Will and I
have the honor and the privilege as
serving as one of the leaders here at
Transformation Church I just want to say
thank you so much for tuning in from
wherever you are watching from and if
you haven’t already be sure to like And
subscribe we believe that God has such
an incredible word for you today so
let’s jump into this amazing message
today I have a word that is about to
change everything now when I say that
some of y’all be like no cuz that other
word that was the one okay cool but he
that have an ear to
hear Let Him
hear I thought about what would be the
most impactful message I could share
with somebody after the amazing Easter
that we had where over 1,024 people got
a fresh start and more than just those
people there are people who have been
living a stale life a a life that had no
no motion no no no um actual momentum
that actually said you know what God
you’re doing something in me I you felt
your faith you felt your baby jump you
felt something and you’re like you know
what I want to live a fresh life I said
what would I tell them if I could sit
with them one onone and I begin to list
out a few things number one I tell you
that Jesus loves you number two i’ tell
you that you going to make it
yes like like I don’t know who needs to
hear this right now but if I was just
sitting across from you at a coffee shop
I would tell you you’re going to make it
if the enemy was going to kill you he
would have done it back there you
somebody look at your neighbor prophesy
to them and say you’re going to make it
look at the other neighbor that you
didn’t like as much the first time and
tell them you going to make it too come
on in the chat tell them you going to
make it
too so I tell you Jesus loves you then I
would tell you you’re going to make it
and I I wrestled with the third one be
because um as a pastor who loves to
encourage people and and preach faith I
I always like to end things on a high
note but but the the more that I get
into pastoring something that wouldn’t
have made it on my list as as the third
thing but but I’ve walked with enough
people to see that people would rather
know the
truth so true than to actually be um um
told lies that feel
good am I in a room with people who want
the truth okay we keep it humble open
and transparent here and so I I said I
should tell people if I was just sitting
with just them at a coffee shop just
looking them in their eyes Pastor Mike
and you I would tell you to get familiar
with
failure now I know I know aren’t you the
crazy faith God I’m completely the crazy
Faith guy aren’t you that God guy that
believes God can do IM measely be more
yes I’m that guy too yeah but what I
found in this Christian journey is that
if you are not calibrated with failure
it’ll stop your
faith if you don’t have a healthy
relationship and you manage expectation
around
failure it will make you be paralyzed
and crystallized in a season of
disappointment
and I am here to help Shake somebody out
of that moment because many of you have
been in a place where God is speaking to
you telling you what to do opening up
doors and you won’t move cuz you’re
afraid to
fail I can’t do the company cuz what if
I fail I can’t say that because what if
I don’t sound right I can’t do that and
failure has you paralyzed at the point
of your
purpose
and if you do not get a healthy
relationship with failure it will hinder
your ability to step out in faith okay
I’m about to preach heavy today so I
need you to take notes and I need you to
probably run this back two or three
times because there are people that are
about to do I sense it so strong about
to do things that were unheard of for
anybody in your family that God is about
to open up doors in your life that are
never going to shut for Generations I
feel this thing that God is going to
allow you to walk in Revelation that is
going to change the minds of people you
will never
meet but the enemy would love to stop
you at the point of the fear of your
next
failure it ain’t even
happen Okay it ain’t even
happened yet it’s controlling your
present because of the possibility of
your future wow come
on the title of today’s sermon is fresh
[Music]
[Applause]
failure if you going to walk in faith I
need you to know that there may be a
time where you have a fresh
failure failure is a part of walking in
faith we talk about all of these stories
like they just happened like a fairy
tale like a Disney movie and we edit out
all the parts that could seem like a
failure so true Noah built the ark his
whole family got on there and two of
every animal just happened to get on the
boat that was a failure if you met up
with Noah 42 days after starting the
ark where I don’t even know where to
find a
giraffe no think about it like did did
did you did anybody find an iguana
anybody find oh God the Guana day on the
other side of the world
what think about it that’s true would I
ain’t never built nothing before like if
you would have snapshot Noah’s life yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah at a certain point
you would have called it a what
failure but he was acquainted with
people walking by every day saying he’s
stupid that don’t make no did y’all see
Noah out there building that Ark it was
a failure until the day
after it started
raining
see and if Noah and his family did not
have a healthy relationship with failure
it would have stopped them in the middle
of their faith
Journey okay okay I’m I’m trying to move
but it and I got to talk to the
religious people who would be like no no
no no I don’t never fail shut
up because what we are presenting people
is a gospel that is going to disappoint
them and then allow them eventually to
deconstruct
cuz if everything is pie in the sky and
everything everything works out all the
time at every moment and oh no no no we
can believe and be real about the
situation oh
gosh I’m not going to lie to you you may
not be a
millionaire
sir can can you may not get a
six-pack
okay
I you may never preach on this
stage cuz some of y’all that’s why I
moved God gave me a vision that I was
going to be a transformation church and
I was going to be I was going to be on
the stage and Pastor Mike was going to
call me and we was going to sing yah way
together
that no no no
I that may
happen or
if if I keep selling you yeah something
that is not
congruent with the biblical model of how
God refines people sanctifies people
transforms people it seems like failure
may be a tool in God’s
hands there’s certain things you may
learn in a mess up that you don’t learn
in a victory
there’s certain things that you may
learn and it not working all the way out
that prepares you for it to work all the
way out do you understand what I’m
saying and if you do not get a healthy
relationship with failure you will stay
paralized at the point that your faith
needs to kick in so what I wanted my
first point to be is something that
would would be really just um truth it’s
fith to act like you never
fail
yeah if you one of those believers who
who who to get saved you had to
literally admit I’m a
failure can’t do this without you
God I’m nothing without you and then
after that somehow you’re supposed to
now never fail again yeah and you judge
people who do church people are the
worst at kicking their fallen
heroes the same people who you went to
the conference
for if they mess up and under the
pressure that they were under we just
boom they ain’t nothing they shouldn’t
be allowed they can’t and the Bible
clearly says he said um those of you who
are spiritual yeah yeah I need you to
restore those who fall
yes in
gentleness I need you to remember that
you have the same yeah capacity right to
experience the same thing but for some
reason
it’s like when we come to God as a
failure we don’t think that failing is a
part of the equation
anymore and today I want to give you the
ability to reframe refocus and renew
your mind about failure okay let’s go
together many people’s ability to walk
in faith is being hindered by the
illusion of failure in the future write
it down
many people’s ability to walk in faith
presently is being hindered by the
illusion of failure in the
future if you knew you couldn’t
fail what would you do
tomorrow I’m talking I’m I’m walking
heavy today if you knew that you
couldn’t
fail what would you do to I’m want you
to really answer that
question would you actually write the
business plan if you knew that what you
wrote could actually
happen would you actually move to the
city God told you to knowing nobody not
having it what you need all what if you
knew somehow this going to work out sir
somehow with God on my side and with
this little bit of faith that I got it’s
only the size of a mustard seed but with
this little bit of faith God in the word
I can move
mountains and most people will not do
the thing that they know God he’s
confirmed it 52 times over 10 years to
you and you still sitting here but like
Lord what about what about this
apartment that you gave me he said I’ll
give you another
one are you holding on to all this for
that
house you holding on all this for that
status well I just don’t want to go home
on Thanksgiving you know my family is
ruthless they would gross me if I told
them that I actually left medical school
to actually follow God in this other
vent okay come
on if God be
for not if you’re family before you okay
I know this is
heavy but there are many times you will
have to walk out a faith step in the
face of the people you love
disagreeing with what God has called you
to do I’m just going to tell you the
truth I want you to get oh God you want
everybody to agree with you and they
won’t cuz God didn’t speak to
them yeah yeah and if you’re waiting for
the confirmation to come from somebody
who doesn’t
pray
wow I do not understand how you are
wanting somebody who does not have a
relationship with God to confirm to you
that God told you to do something
what well they got so many years of
wisdom and they’ve been disobedient for
years money does not okay well there a
guru in this space and God’s hand is not
on them this is what I’m telling you
Saul was still in position as king when
God had taken his hand off of him he
don’t listen to me he won’t obey me I’m
not talking to him no more and if you do
not get your eyes off of people who have
been successful but God’s not speaking
to them the way he’s speaking to you you
will find yourself in the wrong
spot hear what I’m saying to
you you have to make
sure that you’re okay walking in the
tension this this relationship may not
make it yeah cuz they don’t believe what
God has called me to do yeah that’s
okay or maybe this relationship is going
to be suspended in the level of
intimacy cuz everything doesn’t have to
be cut
off sometimes they just don’t need as
much
access oh God
I’m so so so man I’m done with you
unfollow no you being dramatic
stop cuz maybe in a different
season we will have the space the
capacity and emotional awareness to be
able to actually do something with that
but at this current moment can’t come to
you when I’m still deciding for myself
if I’m going obey God cuz your two cents
of Doubt is going to take me over and
I’m going be in the deficit does
everybody understand what I’m saying
okay so so so so many people’s ability
to walk in faith is being hindered by
the illusion of failure in the future
but on the flip side many people’s
ability to walk in faith is being
hindered by the impact of failures in
the the
past so it’s both ends some of us are
scared cuz we don’t know what’s going to
happen and some of us are scared cuz we
do know what happened last
time the last time I did
this when I stepped out in faith the
last
time and and and and today I want to
talk to both groups of people soberly
having walked on both sides of that
pendulum yeah having had to live in the
tension of of things that I’ve done
working out really good and and and and
then things that I’ve done working out
really bad and then God’s saying all
right get up on the horse again let’s
try it again I’m like Lord I’m
um wasn’t last time enough no we walked
[Music]
by last time wasn’t enough until you
come and meet me I will always put a
faith project in front of you my god did
y’all hear what I just said until we go
and meet our savior there will be a
faith project in front of you personally
yes sir and if you keep ignoring that
Faith project what you are doing is
delaying your
fruit I want fruit not without
faith you cannot have fruit without
faith and you cannot have faith without
building in a measure of failure come on
great all
right maybe we don’t just need a healthy
relationship with failure maybe we need
a holy
relationship with
failure like like like that word holy
means set
apart when I fail I’m looking at it like
God what are you trying to do in me how
are you setting me apart by this thing
not working how I intended for it to
work what are you trying to carve out of
me what are you trying to carve me into
what are you trying to scrape off the
sides of my heart or my soul what are
you trying to redirect in my language
how are you trying to use this moment
that seems like a failure right now to
set me
apart I found a guy who’s an Olympic
failure in the
Bible um he has the gold silver and
bronze medal at failing his name is
Peter and and and many times we look at
Peter’s life and um we don’t fully
realize this is what I realize how close
to Judas Peter
was everybody dogs Judas for betraying
Jesus that’s but Peter was kind of at
the same
caliber I I can prove it to you in the
Bible I’mma walk through this the
difference between Judas and Peter is
when Judas betrayed Jesus
that was the end of his
story he didn’t go past the
failure he let those little coins be the
end of the
failure but Peter just a few chapters
later does the
exact same thing for no
money he didn’t even get paid for it it
was a little girl they’re like don’t you
know
Jesus don’t be telling me I don’t know
Jesus I don’t know Jesus on the set I
don’t know Jesus
no I seen you with a I bet you better
not say it again I bet you better not
say it again like he about to start off
on a little
child he denied
him and why do we don’t be to Judas
nobody be like don’t be to
Peter why because Peter did not let his
failure be the
end he kept
pursuing Jesus after the failure I don’t
know who needs to hear this right now
but you do not fail if you keep pursuing
Jesus after the
failure and today I want to encourage
you to do the same thing by looking at
his life because many of us again are
paralyzed and we’re going to go down in
history with this I thought God was
going to do it and God’s stand there
like I’m trying
to so when I found Peter in in John CH
21 verse uh three it says Simon Peter
said I’m going fishing now I I I love
context in the Bible because we just
read these things like it’s just like
really calm and peaceful but like Jesus
has just died like everybody’s scared
the disciples are freaking out he’s
sitting there with the guilt and shame
on him that he denied Jesus three times
and never got to tell him I’m sorry and
I think he was stressed and the
disciples like what we doing today he’s
like I’m going
fishing y’all know how sometimes you do
things just to like I got to get out of
here I’m going for a
drive what other things y’all do like
when you get to that point what’s that
somebody said I go to drink uh stop hold
on wait wait a minute come back okay
I’mma smoke some weed huh wait hold on
wait I’m going shopping like someone’s
like there you go all of them is
real the reason I’m saying those things
is because all of us have something that
when we get
overwhelmed I’m
going and I think this is where we find
Peter and this gives a better context he
says I’m going fishing and then homeboy
was like well um okay well we’ll come
too and it says so they went out in the
boat but they caught
nothing all all
night this is another
failure if this is your
profession if you are a
fisherman yeah and you fish in these
Waters all the time and you know when to
go out and you know where the fish are
at and you know where the schools go and
you know the sun and the tide and all
this other stuff so you set out at the
right time on purpose with the right
people who know how to do what you do
and you did it for a long time yeah
at the tune of all night and you
caught not a
shrimp I mean I went fishing but at
least let me catch a crab or a
scrim the Bible says they caught nothing
all night that would have been
considered another what
failure they’re sitting in a failure and
verse four at dawn Jesus was standing on
the Beach but the disciples couldn’t see
who he was he called out
fellows I don’t know
why turn fellows like it got a British
accent right
there have you caught tiny
fish and Jesus being petty right
here cuz he
know they ain’t come why you asking me
if we C catch any fish you know this
business didn’t work God you know this
relationship didn’t work you know this
last church I went through didn’t work
you know that my eyebrows is not working
with me right now you know this
Lord but sometimes when God ask a
question it’s never to find out an
answer it’s for you to locate where you
are if he knows everything he’s not
trying to figure out did you he knew you
didn’t catch no fish he’s trying to set
the stage for a miracle by your
self-awareness
so if you didn’t think you were broken
God may ask you are you tired of being
broken and if your answer is I ain’t
broken he’ll be like cool until you
recognize you need me I’ll let you sit
in
there I’m telling you all throughout the
Bible in the garden when he asked Adam
and Eve where are you you think he lost
them it’s only two of them on the whole
planet right right he didn’t lose them
absolutely he was trying to give them an
opportunity to locate
themselves and and and this is part of
what we have to do as
Believers is be self-aware enough to be
able to say Where am I really at am I
acting like my life is good am I acting
like I’m paid but I really feel empty am
I acting like I have a stronger
relationship with God but it actually is
quote scriptures that I steal from
somebody else’s page and I read them as
I post
him I’m going to get back to the
work
fellas have you caught any
fish
no like they didn’t even explain like
no then he said watch this
throw out your net on the right hand
side of the boat and you’ll get
some hold on I’m in the middle of a
failure and somebody I don’t know cuz
the Bible says they didn’t know it was
Jesus yeah yells out an
instruction that honestly if I’m not
thinking about it correctly insults my
intelligence you caught anything no
do something
different on throw the net on the right
side is you ever seen the mechanics that
be having the cigarettes that just be
like like that’s what y’all know what
I’m talking about it feel like in my
mind I’m sorry my I see things like
movies in my mind it’s like
H throw
that throw that
thing throw that thing on the right
side and you’ll catch some
yeah now watch
this the fact is Peter’s in a season of
layered failures wowow has anybody ever
been in that season before okay where
where are the real people I said has
anybody ever been in a season of layered
failures is somebody saying I’m in it
right
now come on let’s be honest okay is
anybody in a season of layered failures
right now okay I just need to make sure
I’m at the right
church cuz the thing is the failure is
not going to Define
us cuz we about to learn what to do with
this failure okay Peter is in the midst
of a layered failure the guy that he
left everything to follow Jesus is
dead he’s running for his life okay he
denies Jesus three times and doesn’t get
to say sorry so he’s dealing with the
guilt the shame and the frustration of
that and now he’s done the one thing
that he thinks he knows how to
do and catches nothing my God for most
of us that would be enough to jump off
the boat and drown
ourselves now let’s be honest sir hey
y’all it’s been a good run don’t tell
anybody Mom I’m out of
here but look what Peter has the faith
to do yes
he in the midst of
failure he says Hey Y’all pull up the
net what we doing y’all heard that
voice that had no Clarity we don’t know
who it is but we
sense that there’s something in the
words that he said yeah throw it on the
other side we don’t never throw it on
the other side we ain’t call nothing
doing it on this
side
what do you have to
lose throw it on the other
side well okay throws it on the other
side that was the moment that I know
that Peter had a healthy relationship
with
failure cuz it didn’t make him
freeze if the failure makes you
freeze
it has control of
you if the failure makes you so
frustrated you don’t obey God my cuz
some of I ain’t thring this I’m ripping
the
net you would have ripped it and forget
this net and some of y’all things that
have not worked out you become so
frustrated you won’t obey God that’s so
good but it didn’t make him freeze it
didn’t make him so frustrated he didn’t
obey God and it didn’t even make him
watch watch this
fold most of us would have folded under
that he still had the faith to believe a
word and throw it on the other side will
you look to your neighbor and say throw
it on the other side come on just one
more time look at them look at them dead
in their face and say throw it on the
other
side okay so so this is all I’m going to
do today I I’m going to teach you how to
get familiar with failure write this
down how to get familiar with failure
okay number one factor it
in that’s
great Factor failure
[Music]
in you do it with your
budget I got this little contingency
just in case something comes up just in
case I have too many Crispy Cream Donuts
just
Ina how do you factor in a couple
dollars and don’t factor in for
failure and the church has taught us
yeah to not think that anything ever
going to go
wrong and today I’m telling you when it
comes to failure Factor it
in I’m going to give you an example is
Ava here bring Ava and bring bring the
bike just just yeah just bring it up
here real quick okay I’m a father with
three girls and one boy and one of the
things that I’m tasked with is teaching
my children how to ride bikes yeah you
could just put it right there what’s up
baby girl you cute I love you you all
right you feel good give me five okay
when when when we go out on the concrete
Street hold on just stay right there
when we go out on the concrete Street
the first thing I tell my daughter is
not hey a yeah when you go out here
don’t fall I try not to no no don’t just
try not to don’t fall because we are
Todds and when we get on bikes and when
we do things we do it perfectly the
first time every time all the time do
you got what I’m saying
yeah that baby scared she said
yeah I would be a bad
father if I didn’t come to her like I
actually did and say baby yeah when you
get on your bike yeah you’re going to
fall okay now when you fall I want you
if you’re close to
Grass turn that thing into the grass and
fall into the grass okay if you’re not
in the grass like throw the bike away
and roll this is the conversation I had
with her because I wanted her to factor
in
Failure cuz if we did not Factor it in
she would be surprised and maybe even
quit
trying because of the pain not just of
the impact but the unexpected nature of
the
impact so when we start going come on a
let’s let’s let’s go when we start going
I tell her all right a yep you got it
you doing a great job baby all right
pick it up just go a little faster okay
and then we’re going to go and then I
say look a I I tell her cuz we start
going around heels and around corners
and around stuff like that and and she
actually failed you remember last week
when we was riding a bike and you fail
yeah yeah what did you do after you fell
got back
up now watch she said I got back up why
because number one her father was right
there with
her number two the reason she got back
up is because I managed her expectation
and told her there was going to be a
fall and number three the reason she got
back up is because watch this she knows
that the only way to have a future on
this
bike is to keep getting on a thing that
she can potentially fall
on oh God if I could get y’all to
understand this and some of the
Christians are like what she got
training wheels on even with all the
[Music]
prayers even with all the prayers and
all the Bible studies and all the
different things you can steal this baby
fell with training wheel
so stop treating people
wrong when you feel like they got all of
the things they need to stay up this is
a church that will help people
understand that you can get back after a
fall even if you prayed even if you did
the right thing even if oh God where’s
the church at right
now hear
me my daughter is more confident today
on this bike the fact that she would
come up here and do this example in
front of everybody is a testimony to all
the times that she felt comfortable
falling with her
father she failed with her father enough
times in
private that she’s okay in front of
hundreds of thousands of people
potentially Falling Again in
public this is what the Bible means when
it says a righteous
man okay let me just give it to you
Proverbs
2416 for a righteous man falls seven
times yeah but it says he gets back up
again can y’all give it up for Ava
helping me with this example you want to
you want to ride off baby you want to
ride off no okay you don’t want to ride
off okay just ride over to the just ride
over to the side right there give it up
for AA as she rides off okay no never
mind you get off the bike get off the
bike I just saw the ramp I saw the ramp
just I saw her going down the ramp whole
service
over what do you do with failure
somebody say Factor it in Factor it in
say Factor it in Factor it in factoring
in faith does not mean factoring in
Failure does not mean you lack faith it
means you have
faith
if I’m going to try this there is a
possibility that’s why when I wrote in
Crazy Faith um there’s a chapter that
talks about 51%
faith that I don’t have to be 100% sure
something’s going to work out I just
need to be 1% over 50 I need to know God
is with me just 1% over everything that
we’ve done I ain’t never been 100% sure
I ain’t never been 75% sure sometime I’m
not 55% sure sometimes it’s just 1%
and if you’re waiting to be 100% sure
when people say I knew it was God you’re
a liar it proves to be
God it proves to be so so this notion
that everything has to be right before I
do what God saying you will never ever
do what God told you to do you need to
factor in Failure so when I say failure
you say Factor it in Failure fact it in
Failure fact it in Failure Factor it in
Factor it in great cuz if you factor it
in the fall doesn’t make you quit
writing okay second thing that you oh my
God I got to tell you the
story before we started this church and
had a second campus God gave me that big
old thing that list that crazy Faith the
spirit Bank Event Center will be
Transformation Church and I we tried to
get this church but it wasn’t available
somebody else had it under contract and
I was like God what are you doing he
said I’m about to make a testimony that
you can’t take any credit for so I said
what do you what do I do right now he
said work the faith that you have so the
faith that I had was to go look for
buildings we start looking for buildings
we find a pastor and a church that’s
going down at 61st in Peoria and we felt
like we could partner with them and help
bring life and fresh and newness and
help by the building and all this other
stuff and we do all of this have two
prayer services at this church tell
everybody we moveing the 61st and Poria
second location Norths side Poria we
call to the hood we changing the hood
into holy we I mean we did the whole
thing I’m telling you we was on 61 y’all
know anybody Liv in Tulsa know what 61
is we was right
there and I worked my faith muscle so
heavy for this building that could only
fit 200 people in it Jesus 200 yeah and
I’m casting Vision having meetings
meeting with Bankers doing all of this
stuff and then God says you’ll never
have a meeting there wow
what hold on I got plans we got
renderings we don’t we going to fix
stuff we no I’m telling you I done done
all of the things write the vision down
make it plain put a sign out there pray
around I mean anointing driveways doing
everything y’all know I’m saying praying
oil just just rocking oil
just just dripping oil down the street
just and the Holy Spirit said you’ll
never have church
there why he said cuz my ways are not
your ways my plans are not your plans I
needed to work the muscle of faith for
what I’m about to do it’s like what are
you about to do literally weeks
later this building opens up the
language that me and Tammy had to know
to even acquir this building was found
in the faith step to get that little
building you you don’t even understand
the relationships the bankers the it was
so easy to walk into this
season it was so much so much more money
so much more responsibility but so much
less work because we took on the season
that God put in front of us and what
could have seemed like a failure my God
we factored it in on yeah yeah to the
tune of two years after we bought the
building we gave it to another church
you missed what I said almost a million
doll investment we you don’t got to pay
us you don’t got my God but wherever
you found us in that picture you might
have called it a
failure how do you deal with failure you
factor it in two how do you deal with
failure you frame it
right cuz we framed the
failure that God’s up to something he
doing something with this he’s changing
my life he’s preparing me for something
we framed it right it changed the way
that it came into our
view um pass me that frame real quick
there just hand this to me okay thank
you I I just want you to see this real
quick cameraman I I I want you to follow
my frame okay like where I’m at right
now I’m framed in the picture okay if I
do this follow the
frame and then zoom in just a little bit
yeah what I’m framing right
now is not the thing I want you to
actually look at no don’t frame me in it
put put it on the
frame cuz this is what we look at
Daily well God I just don’t know if
you’re doing anything
well God I just don’t see anything in
this God I just don’t know if you really
really pictured what’s going to happen
and God’s saying you need to
frame it
right you need to put the focus back on
the right thing wherever you Frame It
come on down come on down wherever you
Frame It come on down come on down
computer
robot come on it’s like where is
it
what what am I looking at for real until
you take and pick up the frame and say
I’m going to focus on the thing that I
can
control this looks like a failure but
with God is there really anything that’s
a
failure God I’m I’m going to actually
trust you I’m actually going to put you
in the center of this Frame I’m actually
going to put what you did for me and the
sacrifice and all the failures that that
actually people thought was a failure
and you turn it around think about
Lazarus when they thought he was dead
and you said that I’m about to resurrect
this thing it looked like a complete
failure think about all of the things in
the word that were framed
wrong good what do I do with failure
great I frame it right yeah and some of
y’all been calling Seasons the worst
seasons of your
life I just been in the worst season of
my life no you’ve been in a season
that’s training you for the best season
of your life frame it right that okay
that’s what the scripture means in James
1:2 where it says dear brothers and
sisters when Troubles of any kind when
failure of any kind when opposition of
any kind come your way consider it an
opportunity for Great Joy why would I do
that for you know that when your faith
is tested your endurance has a chance to
it’s the only way it can grow my God you
talking about wanting fruit some things
only grow in adversity
they don’t want me to tell you the truth
but there are things that are in me
today that could not have come if
everything was smooth
sailing there is a fortitude a gangster
a a I don’t care what nobody say as long
as God called me there’s a fortitude
there’s a confidence that if adversity
had not come my faith had would not have
had the opportunity to grow and what
you’re running from is making
me
[Music]
some people run from
it and other people run to
it if God is telling you that this is a
season where I’m going test your
faith you’re not in a bad season the
Bible says your reaction should be great
joy
yes this
sucks but I’m about to be something I
ain’t never seen seen before come on you
can be hon this hurts but there’s a
healing on the other side of this that
ain’t nobody going to be able to take
credit for this seems wrong but the
worship I’m going to give God in the
middle of
this says count it as an
opportunity for Great Joy y’all see how
backwards the church is we can’t even
celebrate what the word says it’s like
hold on that’s not what I wrote down on
my prayer Journal
this this ain’t what my bible plan
says but being somebody who has walked
through adversity God who has walked
through things not working out how you
thought it
was after that I knew I was a
Believer some of y’all’s faith has not
been authenticated yet yes sir yes sir
some of y’all don’t even really believe
what you say you
believe cuz it’s not real until after it
walks through some
fire the difference between a lot of
jewelry people have on and real gold and
real platinum and real silver it’s not
exposed when you wear
it it’s exposed when it’s put under
Fire And if your faith hasn’t
experienced any fire my question is is
it even
[Applause]
real
all right is it even real that’s why
when people get on and start commenting
and doing all the different things I’d
be like
oh their faith ain’t even
real the Bible tells us in several
places this ain’t the way yeah to
actually show the love of
Christ this ain’t the way to lovingly
confront your brother or sister a
post this ain’t
the
do y’all get what I’m saying so there’s
certain things that ain’t even worth
arguing about there’s certain things
that a I’m going to protect my pastor
save your typing
fingers and focus on what God’s called
you to do because the truth of the
matter is if you’re arguing and being
petty with people whose faith is not
tested yet it is called a
[Applause]
distraction and the enemy will love for
you to get off of what he’s called you
to do yeah yeah to in the name of God be
protecting something that’s already
protected
okay do do y’all hear what I’m saying to
you stop fighting with things that don’t
have to be fought for sir because if we
frame it right yeah yeah all the things
that have happened to me over the past
five years I didn’t ask for this church
to blow up I that hand to the Lord I
never that has never been my
prayer my prayer God just no Lord
whatever you
want this is your
church I and because he did it it came
with stuff I
[Music]
hate they don’t want me to be
real I there’s some things about this I
absolutely hate I do not
like
it but I
cannot for one second deny the call he’s
put on my life because there are things
about this that are
uncomfortable like I’m just going to
frame it
right I met a couple last night in the
airport getting off the plane at
11:00 With Tears in their eyes yes sir
because they came to Easter last week go
they started reading damage but not
destroyed and God did some type of real
deep work in their relationship to the
fact that on a Saturday they booked a
flight from Atlanta to Tulsa got in at
the same time we got in saw us my man
started crying immediately wife started
crying and they said we just knew we
were supposed to be in the house this
week because God has done such a work in
Transforming Our Life listen what I’m
saying is they sitting on the second row
right now I’m not trying to embarrassing
but I love you Jose and Jazzy I love you
and we love you now listen
listen instead of comments framing the
work we
do I put that story in a
frame you missed it and so anything
anybody says I just remember Jose and
Jazzy that everything else could be
going on but whatever I choose to frame
is where I will focus and whatever you
are framing right now is taking your
focus
do y’all hear what I’m saying to
you so whatever the failure is frame it
right how do I frame it right Pastor
Mike ah you got to remember that failure
is an opportunity to become something
different Michael Jordan is arguably the
best player that has ever and I said
arguably and we’re not going to go there
today the best
player that has ever played basketball
and I want you to hear something that he
said out of his mouth about his journey
to success check this
out I miss more than 9,000 shots in my
career I’ve lost almost three on your
games 26 times I’ve been trusted to take
the gang running
shot and
missed I failed over and over and over
again in my
life that is
why I
succeed his
failure and his healthy relationship
with it is why he
succeeds I just want to frame for
us maybe the worst thing in your life in
God’s hands could become the best thing
that he ever use to propel you into your
future guys I just don’t want you to
give
up cuz you failed I’m on my third
marriage no we need some
education probably need some
therapy come on let’s let’s but don’t
say something I’ll never get married
hold on
wait you you should be Super Wise
[Laughter]
now after
three you should really be a Sensei
like but but many people don’t stop to
think about what the failure actually
produced so so this is why my third
thing you do with failure you find the
fruit anytime you you fail find the
fruit why did this happen why did this
not happen what did I learn from that
yeah what could I’ve done differently
that’s good yeah what red flags did I
completely
ignore oh come on we don’t want to be
self I knew he was a liar and a cheater
when I met him and I ignored that
because he was
fine come on let’s come on
y’all I started job and I did not ask
what the requirements
were I I was just happy to getting paid
that much they actually expect me to
work for that
check I’m stressed I’m losing hair I my
list is chapped every day I don’t know
what did y’all got what I’m
like find the
fruit and most people because they want
to move to success so fast they will not
evaluate a failure
the thing about professional sports that
I think makes these athletes so
intentionally good is that it’s required
of them to study all game film even the
ones they
lost when’s the last time you studied
your last bad
decision when’s the last time you
actually evaluated I let that friend go
and that was actually my pride
that was something that could have been
resolved with the conversation but my
pride would not let me have cuz I seen
they little subliminal post that post
wasn’t even about you but because your
heart is offended you made it about
you and you took away a relationship
that God was going to use to sharpen you
in a different season he literally put
it there but because of your but you
ain’t even evaluated so you’ve ran
through three or four
besties and God’s holding back the other
ones cuz he said I can’t let you keep
killing these
people my cut off game strong yes you
going to be
alone cuz you are you you are evil to
people and and do y’all hear what I’m
saying like because we won’t evaluate it
good because we won’t listen to our
children when they say Mom and Dad you
really did provide for us but I I I was
missing something emotionally nuh we got
you
everything okay
[Laughter]
I mean but eval just EV just evaluate
for a second right that’s good maybe the
courage they had to even say something
could deepen y’all’s relationship in a
way that could heal stuff from 30 years
ago but if you won’t even evaluate you
won’t find the fruit in it
that’s is it is this helping anybody
y’all like I just I just don’t want to
play you as we go through this Christian
Journey that that everything’s going to
be peaches and cream and rainbows and no
sometimes it’s I’m sick of this and when
is this going to work and I’ve messed up
willingly several times cuz I don’t want
to just act like it’s just happening to
you some of us get in the failure
train you in it yes sir and you RI it
until
like I’m a it’s called self-
sabotage there’s some of us that are so
afraid of what could actually go right
in our life oh God that we will jump in
a in a set of thinking that we will
Sabbath you know you ain’t supposed to
call
him you know you’re not supposed to be
with
her well Lord if you don’t want me to
you if you know you know where my heart
is so if you don’t want me to do this
Lord don’t let him answer the phone
first ring boom
hey
[Applause]
like cuz he’s not going to force your
hand but he’s going to give your heart
an opportunity to make a
choice that’s why that’s why I say it
like this failure is a concept that
we’ve made up I literally looked up the
definition and it said it said uh um
what is failure and it’s saying lack of
succeeding yeah yeah yeah so this means
your definition of
success is very
important to be able to identify if you
fail or not yes sir
good what is failure lack of succeeding
well if succeeding is having a bunch of
money and people who know you come on
then failure looks different for you
great if succeeding for you is being
able to be go on trips whenever you want
to and and be able to spend money like
if depending on what success looks like
great that’s where you get to figure out
if you’re failing or not well if we
bring it into biblical standards what is
succeeding that’s good that’s
good through my research through my time
and study through through actually
allowing the Holy Spirit to show me
through scripture and in my life what is
succeeding this is my definition of
succeeding obeying
God cuz cuz the
outcome doesn’t always feel like
succeeding Yeah Yeah Yeah by World
standard come on let’s be honest like
like what did you do I obeyed God great
I did what he asked me to do I tried to
keep the Bible as the roadmap to my life
I forgave people I wanted to
fight yeah yeah yeah yeah know yes I
I I prayed for people who I know spoke
negative to about
me
I I I tried to speak
life when it felt like everything was
dying around
me I just I just obeyed you
God and whatever that got me thank you
Jesus but many times it didn’t get what
I thought it was going to get
me if I’m not honest with you about that
you will be
defining your life off of
disappointments when God is saying to
you like this life it’s about obeying me
cuz I got plans for
you before you was in your mother’s
wombs I had plans for you I I I knew
stuff about you that you didn’t know
about yourself and what I got up ahead
is so crazy but it’s not what you
think it’s not what you think and if you
hold what you think in such a high
regard you will be disappointed because
that’s going to
fail but my plan for you will never
fail somebody say he never fails he
never fails we’ve been in a studio we
wrote a song called he never fails y’all
it is a Bop and a half but I’ve been
playing it over and over because my life
has not looked like what I
thought but the failure that I have been
contemplating is not a failure in God’s
book why cuz it’s not
over so watch this there are only two
ways to fail we about to go home but I
need you to hear me say this cuz this is
going to guide the rest of your life
there’s only two ways to fail not
knowing god and
quitting
those are the only two not knowing
god and
quitting and most people that are in
this room know God but you
quit or there are people that having
quit you grinding you hustling y I want
to make I’m going to 10x this thing I’m
going to do it I’m going to make it I’m
going to make a billion I’m going to you
won’t quit yeah but you don’t know God
failing cuz either we believe Romans 8
or we
don’t and we
know that all things including
failures work together for the good of
them that love God and to them who are
the called according to his purpose am
amen so what I do with failure very
simple simple I factor it in what I do
with failure I frame it right what do I
do with failure I find the fruit and
what I do with failure I fix my focus on
Jesus so so you will always have with
failure the opportunity to fix your eyes
on the failure or fix your eyes on Jesus
do y’all know what Peter does after this
this moment where he’s failed so many
times he fails all of these times
and then they throw the net on the other
side all the fish are like literally
overtaking them it’s a overflow of fish
the Bible tells us it’s 153 Big Fish he
it literally gives us a number 153 fit
where was they at all
night now I want you to think about this
could this have been
planned is so good come on could this
have not been a part of the plan
that I needed it to not work
out my God so that you could find where
the source
is they have an encounter with failure
but they move past the failure in faith
catch
153 fish and guess what Peter does he
says is that is that
Jesus and he recognizes it’s the savior
because of the
miracle the only one that could turn a
failure into overflow I feel this thing
the only one that could take the worst
night and turn it into the best day the
only one that could
roll this moment of grief into the
greatest day of my
business God and look what he does he
doesn’t say thanks
Jesus appreciate you he literally says
oh I got to go I got to I got to get to
him he literally he said he was in his
wife beat her fishing and and and or a
how whatever y’all say I want to be
politically correct what do you’all call
these undershirts okay he was in his
undershirt he was in his don’t beat your
wife okay he was in his I just so many
things you have to think about in 2024
when you’re preaching he said wife beat
her this shirt he was in this
shirt golly I hate this
okay
y’all got what I’m saying though okay
he’s in his undergarments
and he puts on his robe again and I love
this cuz he’s about to see his savior so
he literally says I don’t want to come
to him any kind of way he puts on his
Rob but watch this and then dives into
the
water he puts on what’s considered
dignified and then gets undignified to
get to him
[Applause]
ooh wait he literally puts on what is
traditional and then gets it soaking wet
cuz he said it’s going to take too long
with them handling the
blessing I don’t even want to stay
around for the blessing I got to get to
the blesser so he fixes his eyes on
Jesus does a Michael philps dive into
the ocean and he swims all the
way to see Jesus face to face where
Jesus watch this gangster has made them
[Applause]
breakfast so Jesus didn’t really need
the
fish he was already preparing a meal for
them but it’s where Peter had his eyes
fixed the other disciples don’t get to
enjoy the meal until they actually come
in Peter gets to enjoy what Jesus has
already prepared for
him cuz when the blessing came he didn’t
be like w 153 fish my business is
blowing up business blowing
up God is good he’s not he’s not trying
to capture the moment he’s trying to get
to the
Christ if you’re in the middle of a
failure fix your eyes
on
Jesus Hebrews
12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus the
Pioneer and the protect perfector of
what our faith remember this is all
about you not losing faith it says for
the joy set before him he endured the
cross he went through a moment that felt
like
failure scorning its shame and sat down
at the right hand of the father on the
throne of God failure isn’t final for
the believer it’s a part of your
future I just want to encourage people
don’t put a comma where don’t put a
period where God’s put a
comma there’s power in this word
and so much power in that word I was a
drug addict
and God radically saved me and now I’m
an advocate for people who struggle with
addiction cross over the line of the
failure break the veil of the
failure and you know how you do that the
best everybody listen to me cuz this the
last one what do you do with failure you
flaunt the
failure this is where most Christians
get stuck well I don’t want to give
glory and praise to the wrong thing
I just don’t you know I just really I
don’t I mean that was a p this is not I
don’t want to bed anybody in the they
doing it anyway you bring God
glory when you tell what you’ve been
through do you know how many kids don’t
know what their parents have gone
through and they’re running right into
that same
wall and y’all think you’re saving them
cuz you’re not talking about sex and
you’re not talking about the promiscuous
okay good sir now talking about the
tendencies that run in your generational
line so you just want them to fall
yeah talking about the seeds of greed
and why y’all don’t give and why do you
don’t commit to a church come on y’all
let’s talk about the don’t let them run
into them same walls without no
conversation and I found that when you
flaunt it yeah it brings and I’m not
saying glorify the sin right
I’m saying let the sin be the
prerequisite to explaining how good your
savior has
been y’all know my testimony cuz I
flaunted I was a liar what’s the next
one a
manipulator I was what addicted to you
I’m telling
you your testimony my testimony is in
your mouth more than yours is
and you think you doing God a favor by
acting all
clean but there are people my God who
will never ever come to Christ until
they know they will not be alone when
they step over this line and I need some
people who have been bought with a
price that know that if it wasn’t for
the blood of Jesus that it’s only his
grace and only his mercy and his work
alone that we stand
here standing all over this
place I need you to know it was only him
somebody say it was only
him Allelujah when you flaunt your
failure in
Christ it
changes how people see
God P Peter was one failure but y’all
know another failure that wrote a lot of
the
Bible oh y’all read your Bible 1 Timothy
1:15 he said here’s a word you can take
listen to this this is some powerful
Bible listen to me here’s a word you can
take to heart and depend on Jesus Christ
came into the world to save Sinners I’m
proof another another word could say I’m
fruit public sinner number
one do do you know how how much you’re
flaunting when you give your na your
rapper name is public Center number
one that’s his rapper name hey this Paul
AKA public Center number one on the like
this is his rapper
name of someone who could never have
made it apart from sheer
mercy and now he shows me
off God shows you God flaunts you when
you are not afraid of the
failure he says evidence of his endless
patience to those who are right on the
edge of trusting him forever oh my God
deep honor and bright glory to the king
of all time one God Immortal invisible
ever and
always
maybe the failure isn’t final maybe it’s
a part of your future
today I want to pray for every person
that is in the middle of a layered
failure and you’re trying to figure out
can I make it out of this the answer is
yes and for everybody who may have
failure up ahead this week next year 10
years from now whoever you are the Bible
tells us a righteous man falls or fails
seven time the power is in the get back
up and I just feel like there have been
too many people who have
fallen but your fall was seven years
ago
wow and you’ve just made it a habit to
just stay in the
fall stay in the fail and when you stay
in the fail then guilt and shame and
condemnation and abut and time well I
mean now you got the faith to do it but
nobody’s going to listen to your whack
song now you
old come on
nobody’s nobody’s going I mean you
missed your opportunity be in youth
ministry you
52 how you going to be in youth ministry
now and then you start letting the
realities of
things make you step back on what God
Said but
today I’m asking everybody in this room
and watching online to refa reframe the
failure if God be for
you then the marriage
the loss of
business the mistake you made it does
not have to define the rest of your
life the whole book of the Bible is
about God
redeeming things that seem like
failures and for his glory turning it
into a beautiful story today I’m coming
to shake you and to lovingly invite you
out of your failure and into a
future that only God could get glory for
could you lift your hands all over this
building I want to pray for every person
father in the name of Jesus I’ve obeyed
you and father I thank you that today
you would allow us to get a fresh
perspective on what failure is let us
know that the only way we fail is if we
don’t know you and we
quit today Father we’re making a
decision to succeed by obeying whatever
you say to do father for all of us
that’s different things but today I’m
thanking you for such a resolve on the
inside of everybody that is hearing this
whether they’re watching it live on
rebroadcast around the world somebody
sent them this God I’m thanking you for
a resolve that failing with you is never
ending in
Failure thank you Father that you are a
God that resurrects
things thank you that you are a father
that is kind enough to tell us the
factor
in things that we don’t
expect father thank you how you’ve
taught me through so many hard
situations how to stand with you and
stand for you I’m thanking you for this
church being able to endure so that
their faith becomes something father
that is
pure God I’m asking you that you would
mature
us that we wouldn’t always be searching
for your hand but you would give us your
heart
[Music]
God I thank you that every person in
this room under the sound of my voice
would have a holy relationship with
failure that it will no longer freeze us
no longer frustrate us to the point of
stopping and no longer make us fold we
will finish what you’ve called us to do
no matter whatever the obstacles we have
to face Holy Spirit be our
guide lead us into all truth direct us
around the things father that are not
meant for us and then direct us through
the things we got to go through we will
not be afraid to walk with you cuz
failure is not the end you proved it on
the
cross we trust you we believe you and we
thank you I feel led to say this I want
to be very personal right
now I have one
son who’s been diagnosed with
autism the enemy has tried
to literally corrupt me and my wife’s
Faith
by making something that was outside of
our control look like a
failure doesn’t matter about a building
I’ll give all of this stuff back y’all
can go to somebody else’s church if my
son
could have what I consider the the
typical function of a child I will I’ll
go do Amazon for the rest of my
[Music]
[Music]
life the enemy tried to make me
stop he tried to make what seemed seem
like a
failure you can’t go out there and talk
about faith you can’t go out there and
encourage people with what you’re
dealing with in the counsel you can’t do
that and I told the devil in his
faith I said I will never
stop doing what God has called me to
do even in the face of a perceived
failure now
listen
the hope that I have is it’s not
over God has given me words about my son
and we all witnessed him as clear as day
last week tell everybody happy Easter
they said it would never happen
I but even the victories sometimes the
enemy tries to remind you okay he can
say Happy Easter but can he do this can
he do that like I’m telling you I’m in
the middle of
it I’m not trying to act like I got this
thing figured out what I’m trying to say
is there’s a healthy
tension between walking in faith and not
being paralyzed by what seems like a
failure and us as
Believers have to step
Beyond whatever we think is going to
happen and whatever even happened in the
past that hurt us and we got to move in
what the Bible calls now Faith somebody
say now
now right now right now
what is he asking you to do now what is
he commanding you to do now what is he
saying dust the shoulder even when I
think about the disciples being sent out
two by two the apostles being sent out
two by two Jesus Built in failure for
them this ain’t even part of my message
but it’s just coming to me right now
remember he told him he said if you go
into a town and they don’t accept your
message he said Jay-Z dust your
shoulders off huh he built it he that
every place you go to do this they not
going to do it you going to fail in some
places but don’t stay
there dust your shoulders
off come on somebody prophetically come
on come on just just come on I feel that
thing I feel a Jay-Z Spirit coming on me

thing you going to do this week you say

that opportunity
