A Sudden Switch // End in Triumph: Damaged But Not Destroyed (Part 10) // Michael Todd

hi my name is Charles and I serve here

at Transformation Church as one of the

executive pastors and I want to take a

moment before we jump into the message

just to say thank you first of all for

watching it means the world to us that

you would be a part no matter where

you’re watching from no matter who you

are I’m believing that this message is

going to encourage your faith and

hopefully transform your life if you

haven’t yet make sure you take a moment

subscribe to the YouTube channel not for

us but really for you we want to be a

resource to encourage your faith and be

with you on this journey of following

Jesus again thank you so much for

joining us enjoy the the message today I

hope it blesses

you there’s a sweet spirit in this house

I’m so glad for every person that

actually came out this Sunday the fog

has some of y’all scared this

morning here in Tulsa and those of you

joining us online I just I thank you for

your faithfulness to God’s house um

there there is a special season our

church is in right now where God is

doing some unique things and he’s

confirming some things and he’s

uprooting some things and he’s changing

some things and he’s I think the name of

the church is transformation so it would

be crazy for us to think that God would

not put us in a place where the title

defines what happens to

us and I would like to make a a

declaration to you that if you’re not

transforming you’re fighting

harder to stay the

same than just

surrendering to what God wants to do in

your life I’m going to say it one more

time if you’re not changing it feels

like you’re plateauing and you’re stuck

in the same place God is coming to let

you know he placed you in a house called

transformation so that the attitudes

could change and the and the speech

could change and the selfishness could

change and and the pessimistic view on

what God can do would change he wants

you to

transform I love I love the saying that

God will accept you just as you are but

he loves you way too

much to let you stay the

same is anybody believing that this is

going to be their greatest year of

transformation come on no come on y’all

physically spiritually you don’t got to

have faith but there’s some people in

here with Crazy Faith this is going to

be the year of transformation from a

mindset for finances this is going to be

my year of transformation for

relationship I’m going to give you two

more seconds this is going to be your

year of

transformation with your family come

on this is that

year Pastor Mike why are you why are you

so

hype cuz some of y’all need to build an

expectation I don’t know I it just feels

like you think the Sun is setting and I

got a different view on

it this is the last month of the year

here we are we are a few days in to the

the the the last 5 minutes of the fourth

quarter do y’all know how many games

change okay okay do y’all know how you

better not stop watching in the third

quarter oh you better you better stay

tuned to what God can

do

okay please please don’t make the

mistake of sleeping on God in this last

month please don’t chop it up to the

next

game you know what God can do in a small

amount of

time it only took him three days to

defeat death hell okay and the

grave

okay so I’m just trying to raise

somebody’s Faith their

expectation December could be

the month that changes the whole year

for you you missed

it okay oh my

[Applause]

[Music]

gosh this could be this could be the the

year that when you look back January

3rd you say you know

what it it sucked all the way up to oh

y’all want to be fake in here H hold on

this was

trash

[Music]

completely

garbage until something

happened I don’t know I went to church

on Sunday and I begin to get gratitude

in my heart and no matter what begin to

happen I just had crazy Faith to believe

that if God is in it it’s not finished

and oh come on y’all and I started to

align my speech and read the word of God

and line around

okay everybody say transformation

yeah I can tell by the way some of y’all

said that you’ve been beat the hell up

this

[Applause]

year you ain’t even got barely no faith

to

even say hello so I’m going help you

with that

today some of y’all need crazy Faith

before the end of this year y’all need

to believe what God is saying about

you um so I’m going to go ahead and get

into the word get your notepads out and

get your smartphones and even if you

have Dum phone come on we going to

accept those

today um I feel like God has given me a

burden to share with you the scripture

that has gotten me through the last six

months of this

year so one of the things that um you

got to know is that I prepare messages

that God gives me with the Holy Spirit

and a small team to present to you but

if that’s the only time I went to the

word I would be giving you from the

bottom of the

barrel I minister to you out of my

overflow the reason I get up here with

passion the reason why I can jump around

and scream and praise and sing and is

because this ain’t my first time being

with God this

week I’m ministering to you out of my

everybody shout at me overflow overflow

that is not just for pastors and

preachers you’re supposed to work out of

your over the reason you mad at

everybody is cuz you’re giving them the

little Grace you

have

but it’s a season that we build up we

build up we build up so that whatever we

give away it’s from our

own and so there’s a scripture my mama

sent

me in the summer when I was on

sabatical and um I just been meditating

on that so and it’s helped keep me and

today I’m going to share it with you

because I believe it’s going to spark

crazy faith on the inside of you and

give you practical ways of how to end

this year in a way that you probably

weren’t expecting but before I do that I

I got to shout out all the mended men in

the building right

now oh where are all the mended men in

the building right

now ladies you should be

clapping and

shouting cuz the men are dealing with

their damage first

Hey so

uh

yesterday was probably one of the most

exciting days of the past month for me

and included in that past month was my

birthday this was more exciting than my

birthday I preached a message a few

weeks ago about how men needed to mend

cuz those are the men that follow

Jesus and um there was a an amazing

response to the alter call but alter

call responses don’t usually translate

to like another

event like most men is like I did I me I

got it right with

God but I said before the year is out

we’re going to go to breakfast and I

didn’t know what to expect can I tell

you that almost 400 men showed up at

8:00 a.m. oh y’all didn’t hear what I

just

said almost 400 men showed up people

brought their sons and their

grandfathers and their cousins and their

brother people flew hold on watch this

there were a couple of women who was

watching online transformation Nation I

love

you cuz they bought their husband’s

tickets and sent them here from Orlando

and Atlanta and M oh y’all she said boy

uhuh get up get

up you’re going to the amended

man dude’s walking around like hello hey

what’s

up we ain’t never seen you before that’s

cuz I don’t live

here but it was a

Brotherhood and and I and ladies I just

okay I’mma ask you don’t ask your

husband what we do at mened

men

be quiet don’t talk too much be quiet

you’re sitting next to your wife

stop give me the next two

[Music]

years to get these Concepts

principles and

patterns into this group really this

Army that’s rising

up and and they won’t have to tell you

what happened you’ll see the fruit of

it okay sometimes it takes men a while

to process so when you come back like so

how was it what did you talk about just

hold

on just

pray and let God do the work you

couldn’t

[Music]

[Applause]

do I’m prophesying that there was almost

400 380 something men there by this time

next year we’re going to have another

Men’s breakfast in

December and there will be over a,

transformation men

strong I need somebody with crazy Faith

to believe with me over a thousand men

of God who say we’re going to go first

we’re going to deal with it we’re going

to be worshippers we’re going to serve

our families and serve God’s house we’re

going to make a

difference we’re going to

represent so I’m just so grateful for

the momentum that’s starting right there

and um I just I just thought it gave me

an energy to come preach to you today

um in faith for what God’s about to do

in

2024 I want to let you know I’m already

in the next

year vision is what you see with your

eyes

closed it’s not what you see with your

eyes open some of y’all is like I can’t

wait till 2023 is

over but God told me to start acting now

in

preparation for what you are believing

me for in this next year

and so as a pastor as a leader my vision

is already in to the next season of what

God is going to do and today I’m about

to yank you into

it I came to pull today you know

sometimes be like I’m not going to push

and Prime you I’m not going to pump

today I’m about to yank you by your

weave you better make sure you use good

glue cuz

I’m coming for them braids

for 10

weeks we’ve been talking about the

concept of being damaged but not

destroy and part of us going from the

trauma to Triumph is like we’ve had to

I’ve literally had to convince the

church that they was

damaged like we all see it you just

don’t see

it you you’ve believed so much Faith

talk and you believed so much um um um

how do I want to say this you believe so

much that God is going to come through

that he’s going to bypass your

issues he’s going to take you into the

promised land

unhealed which would be a

curse and since God does everything well

he he has taken our church and I believe

many of you that are watching right now

into a season of saying I got it up

ahead for

you but it and all of that don’t

mix see the blessing of the next season

you may have to give some of it to your

enemy

uh-oh so the person you haven’t

forgiven may be the recipient of God’s

faithfulness to

you so he cannot release it until you

deal with the

issue so so so I didn’t know how long

this series was going to be because I

felt like I I had to plow through a lot

of

self-righteousness as well as

religion me God we all

know that there’s issues in

there and I feel like we’re just coming

to the point where people are really

starting to say you know what I’m I’m

going to do what’s necessary I’m going

to get in community I’m I’m going to

therapy I can’t tell you how many people

I’ve gotten emails and DMS and run into

in the hallways that said Pastor Mike

I’m getting my family therapy sessions

for Christmas I said what they said I

started therapy last Thursday I started

doing that I’m trying to get us to a

point where it’s no longer in it has to

come but it has to come out in a way

that doesn’t destroy more

stuff and most of us we get into a place

where we let it happen until you get a

little break and then you just explode

on

everybody and God’s saying I’m going to

allow you to deal with the damage in a

different way through my word and and

with others and so for 10 weeks we’ve

been here but as I was praying God where

do you want us to go how do you want us

to end this year the holy spirit said

Michael it’s time to make a transition

you’re still going to be in a series

called damaged but not destroyed but

you’ve been talking about the

trauma I want you to transition people

in the last month of the year to get

crazy faith for the

Triumph so today we we’re just we just

stepping over the line of talking about

the damage and the trauma and and we’re

starting just a miniseries inside of a

series called end

in

Triumph say it with me end in Triumph

one more time say end in Triumph why

because the way you end a thing is the

way you start a

thing so many people act like when they

get a fresh start if you was mean and

slow and hurt back here when the date

changes nothing magically happens it’s

the perspective the patterns the things

that you do on the inside and God told

me to come and prophetically tell his

church this year we’re going to end in

Triumph it is not over the story is not

complete we will have

faith for the Mountaintop

again and some of us have become so

familiar with the

valley that we have stopped believing

God for mountain

tops we would rather prepare for the Cal

of the Sun not hitting down that

low than to make steps to go up to find

sun

again but today I told you I came to

pull push and drag you out of

complacency when it comes to your faith

in God I feel my help coming on right

now you are about to believe that God

can do more with a little and a lot of

faith than you could ever do by yourself

somebody shout at me one more time with

all the faith you got end in Triumph end

in Triumph Isaiah 43:15 I want to read

this over you I am the Lord your Holy

One Israel’s Creator and King I am the

Lord who opened up a way through the

waters making a dry path through the sea

he’s trying to jog their memory right

now I called forth the mighty Army of

Egypt with all their chariots and horses

I drew them beneath the waves and

drowned them their lives snuffed out

like a smoldering candle wig he said I

blew out your enemies like a birthday

cake

candle do you oh God the imagery I get

right there the big thing that you

scared of God just

says that boss that job that career that

thing this

what for I’m about to do something new

say it with me I’m about to do

something see y’all

late I’ve already begun

it everybody that gets to

2024 God’s gonna be standing there like

y’all late

see I’ve

already I came to Transformation Church

on the first Sunday in

December and I told them by faith I’ve

already started Dizzle what what what

what God is about to do I’ve

already begun

it and then he ask you do you not see

it what’s wrong with

you clear your

glasses clear your sight do you you not

see what I’ve already been trying to do

I will make a pathway through the

Wilderness I will create rivers in dry

Wasteland oh that’s exciting to me the

wild animals of the field will thank

me the jackles in the AIS too Hallelujah

I don’t even know what animal that

was for giving them water in the desert

oh my God yes I will make rivers in the

dry

Wasteland so my chosen people hallelujah

can be say this word with me

refreshed I believe we’re coming into a

season of

refreshing but God will not give you

what you won’t even have the faith to

believe for

now I’m asking you to engage your faith

to believe that there is greater on the

other side of the trauma Hallelujah okay

hallelujah it’s going to end in

Triumph Brent it’s going to end in

Triumph Haley it’s going to end in

Triumph Mama Dana it’s going to end in

Tri I’m going say it until you get it in

your soul filling your name what is your

name it’s going to end in Triumph if

it’s still going on right now and you

still don’t see your way through the

Wilderness and it looks very dark in

this season I came to tell you keep

stepping because it’s going to end in

[Applause]

what and some of y’all can’t even fix

your mouth to say

it cuz what if it doesn’t happen then

God is still working it out for your

good ah see your timetable does not

affect God’s

goodness I’m going to say it one more

time well God I wanted you to do about

in he said but you in have been ready

for what I was about to do then and

there was a couple of snakes around you

then that would have they would have got

you and you would have been passed out

anyway so my timing is

perfect but as long as I’m in it it’s

not

finished it’s going to end

in Romans 8:28 and we

know that God causes who causes it some

of y’all have been planning without

faith you’ve been planning and God loves

a

plan but a plan that he’s left out

of he steps back and say go

ahead no no no no no no no no no no no

no no no no no try

it that’s what you going to do for 2024

that’s where you going to school that’s

the job that’s how you going to leave

okay no no no I’m here I’m with you I’ll

never leave her for forsake you but I’m

not blessing

that so use all your energy and all your

effort and all your

connections to make that happen that’s

why Proverbs 3:5 says what acknowledge

God in all your ways and then he will

get in the middle of it and he will

direct your path but playing without him

take the path he always can reroute

you you just lose time and maybe run

into things you weren’t supposed to ever

see

okay what are you saying Pastor Mike

watch this with God Triumph is always

somebody say always always it’s always

on the other side of

trauma if you’ve been in a season of

continual

disappointment a bunch of let down oh

god dog when is you going to get up off

my head

if you’ve been in a consistent season of

why is this relationship not working why

can’t I seem to get the traction why are

we missing if you’ve seem to be in that

place take courage

today if you’ve been in a season of

trauma the one thing trauma promises you

when you’re in

God is on the other side of

trauma there’s

always what

try

the cross preaches

this this is the gospel and the good

news that when

Jesus was

crucified he had to take a scourging was

humiliated was spit on everything

happened and then he

died

trauma it looked like the end but it is

in the core character company of our

God to let things look

traumatic for dramatic

effect I mean if you just watch how he

does stuff Lazarus let him

die Mary n walk up and said if you would

have been there he said it was on

purpose cuz y’all wanted me to heal him

and for dramatic effect I wanted a

resurrection I wanted people in 2023 to

understand saying that even if it looks

dead the trauma will

always end in

what I feel Faith coming right

[Applause]

now I always wondered why Jesus didn’t

die and then hit a

peek-a-boo like you know what I’m saying

if it was me okay I just see stuff in

movie if it was me I would have been

like it is fin forget them they don’t

know what they do you’ll be with with me

in Paradise today

uh got gotta like I would

[Applause]

have you know what I’m saying I would

have proed my power quickly like that

was weak like you know what I’m

saying but

why would God leted an entire

day why would he why would he allow for

a

Saturday why would he allow the people

that he loved to be in trauma for a

whole

night it’s because if he would have done

it

quickly it would have made us say oh

that was just

Jesus only Jesus could do that he

allowed there to be a season of

trauma so that he could prove that no

matter how long long that season lasts

on the other side of that season is what

trial I’m

excited cuz some of y’all everything is

about to

change no no no no no this is if you

don’t have faith to believe it that’s

fine but that I don’t need to scream it

to you something connected with your

spirit for many of you everything is

about to what

change let me go ahead and give you this

crazy Faith scripture that my Mama gave

me in

Amos now I know this is a this is a book

of Bible y’all be skipping

over I know Amos ain’t been on your top

Bible Hits

list in a minute but I understand why

because if you look culturally at the

context like God is going off on the

children of Israel because they’ve been

disobedient now I know nobody in here

has been disobedient to God this

year youve done everything it’s just the

woman over here say I have god dog it

she said I

have but but if we’re honest we we we

know that God healing US starts with our

honesty If we’re honest that many of us

some of the trauma and the drama that

we’ve gone through has just been because

of

Disobedience God has been trying to

protect don’t be in that relationship

but God look at his

abs I just I just don’t know how you

would create something so

wonderful and then tell me not to touch

it don’t be at that job but God they

paying me so much money

here and I need more he said no you

don’t you need

stewardship but stay

there some of us it’s time to correct

what we’ve disobeyed God on all

year I’mma leave it right

but for others of

us we we approach Amos trying to see God

even in your correction are you trying

to tell us

something so even as God is correcting

the children of Israel because they’ve

worshiped other gods and done things

like the world and have been disobedient

after God has given him instruction his

grace still somehow shows up in their

Disobedience this is why the only

religion I can ever rock with is the

Christian religion because God’s grace

gives us what we do not

deserve every law we’ve

broken every measuring stick and some of

you like well not everyone be

quiet because the Bible says all have

sinned and fallen short of the glory of

God it’s why he had to send Jesus and so

when he sends Jesus God is trying to

show us in this old test Testament

passage as a type in a shadow a type in

a shadow to something he wants to do in

our life he said even when I’m

correcting you even when you’re in a

correction season I’ll show you Grace

and let you know I’ll take you to a

brand new season Amos chapter 9 verse

13 it says and I’m going to read it out

the message version because it just it

it did something to my spirit okay yes

indeed it won’t be long

now God decrees this somebody say it

won’t be long now what if we woke up

every day and said that

phrase what if you wake up in the

morning and say it won’t be long now I

don’t know what you’re believing for it

may be a restoration of relationship it

may be the your mind getting back to a

place of Peace but even if it’s not in

that place what if you woke up every day

and said you know

what just a few hours

closer won’t be long now when they asked

you at Christmas when you getting

married it won’t be long now okay some

of y’all about to get the faith to this

when you moving out of that house it

won’t be long now because every day that

I live is a step

closer when you going to start that

business it won’t be long

now when that album releasing it

won’t some of y’all been sending us hate

letters for the transformation worship

album I came to decree it won’t be long

now all

right okay just shout at one more time

with crazy faith it won’t be long

now things are going to happen so fast

your head will

swim one thing fast on the heels of

another you won’t be able to keep up

everything will happen at once and every

everywhere you look blessings blessings

blessings blessings blessings somebody’s

about to receive this blessings

blessings everywhere I look down

blessings up blessings

around

blessings somebody shout at me blessings

blessings what if God told you that

you’re about to be in a season where you

won’t be able to keep up with the

blessing

why would God want to put you in a place

that you can’t hold it

all cuz when you can’t hold it

all that means you have to give some of

it

away I need to talk to the people who

know the next season you’re going to be

blessed to be a

blessing you’re not going to need to

pray about it you’ll be the answer to

the prayer okay I’m trying to control

myself I’m on point

[Applause]

one

what’ you

say I said what’ you say it won’t be

long say it with crazy faith it won’t be

long now it won’t be long

now everywhere I look at my job

blessing in my relationship

blessing

[Music]

when I’m leaving my last season

blessing when I’m walking into a place

and I don’t know nobody

bless everywhere I look

blessing blessing like wine pouring off

the mountains and

Hills some of y’all was like Lord that’s

the blessing I want why off the

heels

then it says I will make oh this is the

encouraging part to me I will

make

everything right

again for my

people I just believe that God is coming

to let you know that it hasn’t felt

right and you don’t know how to make it

right and he said that’s not your job in

this

situation he said and I will make

everything everybody say right again

right again and then it goes into this

next part watch it it says they’ll

rebuild their ruined

cities that word ruined means damaged

everything that is damaged around he

said I’ll let you rebuild the rumin

cities they’ll plant Vineyards and drink

good wine they’ll work their Gardens and

eat fresh vegetables we eating good in

the next season and I’ll plant them

plant them on on their own land this

next season has ownership in it I okay

y’ everybody don’t have eyes to see this

and ears to hear this but there’s some

owners coming out of this season into

the next season I’m going be able to

make some decisions all my decisions

ain’t going to be made for me I’mma have

options

okay they’ll never again be uprooted

from the land I’ve given them

how can you say that how can you say

that how can you say

that

God y God oo this makes me happy cuz

there’s people in here that we claim the

same God but we don’t believe he can do

the same

[Applause]

thing woo okay all

right you believe God is just a headache

take away God

and I

believe that he can transform somebody’s

head like he can take some no you missed

it cuz you think the headache is a

miracle but somebody who was steeped in

perversion and lustful and jacked up he

can transform their mind to living

Purity I’m talking about real Miracles

he can take a Unfaithful husband and

make him into a man of Valor a men did

man

[Applause]

uhoh you keep believing for a

house I’mma believe for the

block we serve the same God he said God

your God he said it which lets me know

that many people are claiming God but

that doesn’t mean you believe he can

actually do

it and I know there’s some people okay

that’s the Old

Testament I I I need a new

testament

equivalent for what you’re saying all

right Galatians 6:9 so let’s not get

tired in doing what is good cuz at just

the right time somebody say suddenly

suddenly

at just the

right

time we will reap a

harvest of

blessing if we

don’t

give what I came to you in the last 30

days of the year is to tell you

don’t give up if you’ve been believing

all years for your family to be restored

don’t give up if you’ve been on the

brink of financial Ru but somehow God

has made ends meet every month but he

promised you something is going to

change don’t give up if you’ve been

fighting that fight of lust in

temptation but you made it this far

don’t give

up don’t give

up cuz at the right

time me and my friend Carl were talking

in the back and we started looking cuz

you know some of these analogies in the

Bible we just think we just say them and

it was like that was back in their day

but when you really like break it down

and and like get into the context of

what they’re actually saying it

literally says here we will reap a

harvest of

blessings remember what it said in the

Amos scripture everywhere I look

blessing blessing if you were to go out

onto 50 acres of land where there was

something planted and you stood in the

middle of

it everywhere you

turned it would be

Harvest you would literally have to

look at the edge of the property to find

a place that did not have

Harvest so then we started talking and

we thought about it and we act like

Harvest is a one-day

event

but anybody who’s ever been a farmer

knows it’s not Harvest

day it’s harvest season okay I don’t

know I told y’all we about to end this

thing in Triumph you can’t pick up all

the

blessings there’s not enough time in the

day in the week I some of y’all going to

have to hire people to manage the

blessing oh God I’m in my bag today I’m

telling you right

[Applause]

now somebody look at your neighbor and

say it’s harvest

season BR we’re not harvesting for a day

if we’ve been planting for years could

we reap for years

oh the scripture says there’s a season

where the oh God there’s a season that

comes that if you’ve been planting seeds

long

enough

The

Reaping will overtake the

soul I just came to Transformation

Church today to

declare it’s the season of a sudden

switch somebody say a sudden

switch I’m talking about it’s going to

look like night and then B it’s going to

look like day I’m talking as it’s going

to look lonely and then it’s going to be

relationship everywhere somebody say a

sudden switch oh my

God

woo somebody needs to receive that by

faith right now say it again a sudden

switch

Swit it’s t it’s a sudden switch

season you’re not going to know the day

that it

happens you going to go to sleep

discouraged one day and wake up and say

hold on where did this come

from hold on you’re going to have to

watch this realize the

miracle one more time with crazy Faith

shout at me a sudden

switch the same

energy and how

quickly you go into a room that’s dark

and you flick that

[Music]

switch I feel Prophet Drake I just just

flip the

switch I don’t know all my all my

analogies are coming

out but somebody’s going to walk into a

room and you just going to turn on the

light and you going to feel something H

cuz it’s going to be a prophetic

sign of how

quickly it’s not that dimmer situation

turn that dimmer off y’all know them

dimmers that you push the button and

like uhuh go find

you conf find you a everybody say

switchwitch

today I want to give you the secret to

suddenly there’s a secret to suddenly

there are steps to be able to walk into

your

Suddenly It’s that at the end of that

Amos scripture and many times I I will

be honest that the church gets excited

about the

promise and we do not look at the

principles and part of my job as your

leader is to make sure that we do not

just yell crazy

faith and write down a wish list on a

card hoping the church fulfills it who

is not

God okay that was just for two people I

had to say it

but we don’t look at

the the pattern or the concrete or the

instructions that God wants us to work

around and so I want you to look at it

right here it says they’ll

rebuild the ruined

cities they’ll plant Vineyards and drink

good wine they’ll

work their Gardens and eat fresh

vegetables and I’ll plant them plant

them on their own land now when I look

at the scripture I always look at what

do I have to do and what does God

do so we’re going to read that one more

time and I just want you to to to

underline what you think your job

is

they’ll

re

build the ruined cities

they’ll

PL Vineyards and drink good wine

they’ll somebody like I thought I

thought we don’t cuss in church some of

y’all they’ll

work it’s not a cuss

word they’ll work their Gardens and eat

fresh vegetables and then I’ll

plant the first three are youu you youu

rebuild plant work then I’ll plant them

in their own

land see when I read this I got excited

about the it’s coming there a fast one

heal of the another takeover you won’t

be able to keep up and I started

shouting crazy B it’s

coming but I couldn’t reconcile the

suddenly and the slow

language he said

suddenly and we all just shouted over

suddenly tomorrow today I’m com like we

do

that but then God uses slow

language who has ever seen anybody

rebuild a

city

suddenly no come on if anybody lives in

Tulsa Memorial they’ve been working on

this

street I mean not even a mile of the

street for three year what the heck

where are our tax dollars

[Applause]

going if they can’t rebuild a straight

of the

[Music]

city how is God saying suddenly but then

they’ll

rebuild okay I’m trying to manage your

expectations for a season of

suddenly cuz many times we get

disappointed cuz God didn’t do it well

hold on maybe he is doing

it but your suddenly is tied to

something

[Applause]

slow I’m talking about what

if your sudden transformation in your

body is tied to a

slow progress and consistency over the

next

year them claps is getting weaker and

weaker right now did you feel that oh

that that’s

good that is

good not

good he said they’ll rebuild look

they’ll plant how many people have ever

planted anything

that is

slow suddenly

slow suddenly

slow your suddenly is always connected

to something slow let me put it in a

point suddenly is sometimes

slow they’ll

work Gardens and eat fresh

vegetables how is this suddenly

God he said he said I’m trying to

prepare you for the

suddenly if I don’t put something slow a

part of the suddenly you’ll get

swallowed he’s a good

father he knows if he trusted you with

the income you would have

ultimately and you’re still in that

addictive cycle right now it would kill

you and take you out of here because you

would have access to everything you

don’t have access not because you don’t

want it right now just cuz you can’t

afford it right

now so he tells you you have this urge

to be an entrepreneur a business person

take over do all it he said that’s the

suddenly you feel it’s coming but I

attached a slow process of sobriety to

it so that when the suddenly happens

you’ll be able to not be

swallowed woooo

this is big scripture right here see see

this is why you cannot Define anybody

else’s season and come into their book

at whatever chapter you think they’re in

and think you know what’s going on write

this down as a point suddenly is defined

by the scene you’ve

seen suddenly is defined by the scene

you’ve seen see if you came into

Transformation Church when we got into

this building you might get the wrong

impression of who we

are you might think we don’t need no

help every church you’ve been in is

raising a building fund for 17 years for

a building that never got built we paid

this off in five months so they don’t

need my

money so so you came into this in a

scene where you think you could Define

the

season well I’m about to give in Crazy

Faith they already got look at that big

old screen that bigger than the IMX

that’s bigger than

that and people come in at this

scene trying to act like they know what

our suddenly look

like but what you don’t know is that we

we were in the north side of Tulsa with

less than 300 people less than a decade

ago believing God in Crazy faithful

stuff that had never been seen it’s

normal on

now are you talking about that big

church over there on Memorial you didn’t

say that 10 years

ago oh

gosh and and this is why I need

everybody to understand do not be

worried about anybody else’s

process do not be looking to the left or

the right trying to figure out what they

doing they did not chart the course of

your

purpose and so when I was in North toson

I told our church we going to we going

to break the spirit of

poverty there was less people than were

in this section right

here and I said today we’re going to

raise an offering it was our first

unofficial crazy Faith offering cuz them

people they didn’t they looked at me

crazy I’m tell they was like what no

hold on I told him I said today we’re

going to raise an offering and we’re

going to give all of it away to churches

in this community

see people seen us give millions of

dollars away to churches that

started with 300 people who had no

guarantee of us ever being on YouTube me

ever writing a book ever being Pastor

Mike T there was no guarantee of success

there was just people there who knew

that if we were going to experience a

suddenly we had to do something

slow

people see me now it’s like oh he’s an

overnight sensation shut up you don’t

know me you don’t know all the years

that I was sowing seeds in obscurity and

I’m glad you wasn’t there cuz you might

have got me distracted trying to

critique my process but I thank God for

the Wilderness season I thank God for

the dark I thank him for The Valleys cuz

you cannot tell

me what God has been doing in my life

cuz you wasn’t

there and most of y’all haven’t seen the

seasons that created my

suddenly but there’s no way when God

told me we were supposed to do an end of

the year offering every year to

accelerate the vision there’s no way he

would tell me to do that and tell our

church and I wasn’t going to be the

first one to feel the

hit I’m not going to tell you how much

money I’ve given to the body of

Christ but we could have bought a lot of

other

stuff here what I’m saying to you but in

that $8,300 offering me and Natalie gave

$1,000 with no

guarantee that one day I’d have anything

to rub together more than

that no contracts no book deal we didn’t

know if the church work Bishop was so

encouraging like you’re doing great

Pastor M I knew I wasn’t doing

great we were praying we he had crazy

Faith to just

believe and then everybody shout at me

suddenly there was a switch but you

thought it was suddenly but it actually

was

slow

[Music]

okay why does it have to be suddenly and

slow cuz if it’s if it’s actually quick

you won’t be

[Applause]

equipped if it happens too quick you

won’t be

equipped you’ll lose what God wanted you

to live

in and that’s why God says it’s suddenly

season but in many areas it’s going to

look

slow well I’ve been forgiven this many

times some of y’all be like I forgave

him three times the Bible’s clear

70 time 7 mathematicians what’s that

490 a

day y’all Miss she said A Day

Drake Drake some of y’all know that he

said she said a

day

490 times a day you’re supposed to be

forgiving

you’re such a you’re such a

compassionate person there been a lot of

slow

forgiveness see see you can’t come in on

this scene and think that it just

happened suddenly it’s going to feel

like suddenly but ask somebody who’s

been rebuilding their

marriage is it slow or

suddenly ask somebody who’s been

planting new patterns and overcoming

addiction is it slow or is it

suddenly ask somebody who’s working on

the vision that God gave them but they

don’t got no supports yet ask them is it

slow or if it’s

suddenly see God uses the process to

perfect the

purpose everybody wants the purpose but

God would be

unkind if he gave you the purpose

without the process ask the children of

Israel

he delivered them from Egypt and told

them this ain’t the shortest

way like what if Siri told you

calculating the not shortest way to your

destination

most we’ pull over we’d stop

driving to find a shorter

route but God told the children of

Israel this is not the shortest

way because I need to make sure what you

were in is off of You by the time you

get to what I’ve promised

you so he took the long way and watch

this the long way was 11

days but because as soon as he told them

I’m putting you through a process they

started doing what complaining somebody

said tripping yes I love my church they

started complaining tripping grumbling

doing exact opposite of what was

commanded for them to do and they turned

an 11-day journey into a 40-year

death now the process looks short after

you see the

penalty I bet they were looking at year

41 like

d we should have just

listened we should have just went

through the

process but God said it’s going to be

sudden I bet you 11 days seemed like a

suddenly compared to 40

[Applause]

years they would if at year 11 they was

like this all we had to do shoot 11

years 11 days we taking that they like

suddenly but they didn’t want to go

slow so they missed everything that God

had for them in the promise so watch

this I’m going give you the secret I

told you the secret secret of a sudden

switch is write this down

steady you want a sudden switch get real

steady what are you doing

consistantly what are your Bible reading

habits what’s your prayer

time what songs are you currently

worshiping

to no no I’m not talking about that one

Maverick city song from three years ago

that you know the words to the first

chorus I’m talking about is there is

there something fres stirring where’s

the song that God gave you to

write I’m talking about everybody shout

at me steady steady if you want suddenly

it comes from

being I had to keep serving my

wife in Seasons where it felt like we

wasn’t

connected I had to be steady do you know

how many date nights we went on

Mad okay see y’all want to be fake in

here but I’m talking about we are mad at

each other kids where you going day

[Applause]

night but if I would have stopped being

steady in a season where I felt

strained I wouldn’t have gotten the

suddenly in our relationship now that

that girl walked by and I

just just want to take a bite I want to

give her a compliment I want to do

because the seasons of Being

steady have produced a sudden passion in

our

marriage a sudden understanding a s and

too many people in the church want the

suddenly without the

steady I’m talking about it’s going to

take C crazy Faith to be

steady and I believe God wants us to

have the suddenly with steady practices

right

now decide in December what you doing

till next

December but get the first of the year

to start walking start

tomorrow okay but my knees but my they

not getting no better sitting on that

Lazy

Boy

it’s not about the speed of the walk or

the run and some of us well I used to be

able to do a mile in 5 minutes now it’s

going to take you 5 hours but it’s

okay what are you going to get shout at

me Steady

in we’re doing steady date night every

week we don’t got no money we just going

to go sit in the car and listen to R&B

jams oh y’all y’all want to be fake we

going to carve out this time we going to

hit the block matter of fact we can’t

waste that gas we just going to roll the

windows

down you remember this baby you remember

this made you a new playlist today on

Spotify I’m not talking about spending

money I’m talking about getting

St okay I’m telling you every s that

same light

switch cannot turn on if there is not a

steady supply of what

electricity it’s there the whole

time that current is Flowing the whole

time the

switch gets flipped because of

something

o the holy spirit is reminding you of

stuff he told you to be steady on four

years

ago said I want you to be a part of that

small group I want you to get with the

I’m not going to be hurt like that ever

again that’s a

lie I want to tell you as long as

there’s people on the Earth and you have

love in your heart you have an

opportunity to be

hurt but God is the one that walks with

you through all of your pain and all of

your hurt and you will not be able to

experience the love to its fullness if

you’re not vulnerable to the hurt at its

fullness the person that can hurt me the

most is Natalie Diane Todd why cuz I

love her the

most and I’m just trying to tell

somebody right now God said get steady

back in

relationship Be steady in serving in the

church forget serving in the church Be

steady and

coming some of y’all come on you’ll be

here today and we’ll see you January

19th God’s just been really working on

me and taking some time and just

spending time with all the things that I

time to be able to do and time to just

be with

him

you’re a

liar you’re on your truck you’re at the

Blake you’re at the boat and I’m not

saying nothing wrong with that but part

of your purpose is to give what God’s

done in your life

away and you won’t even serve in his

house and he’s already built

yours

okay okay Pastor Mike it’s going to take

crazy faith for me to Be steady cuz I’m

I’m I’m I’m

everywhere some of us I I be

if something ain’t moving I’ll make it

move come on we outside like y’all y’all

be outside y’all be planning stuff no

nobody even want to come you done made a

whole party nobody wants to come

to but you’re just trying to she said

dang you just you’re just trying to make

stuff happen and what God’s saying is

maybe this year the most spiritual thing

you can do is pick four things you’ll be

steady

at what if you’ll be disciplined this

year what if what if you’ll actually be

accountable what if you’ll be steady at

saving $50 a

month cuz every time something happens

it’s a crisis and God told you to save

two years

ago you would have had everything you

needed at the moment of the crisis if

you didn’t buy them

Crocs I know I’m in your business right

now I got pink SC I got SpongeBob I got

Spider-Man’s

Crocs I got high heels Crocs I got low

heel Croc what

I got the little widgets I got my kids

faces on them look how cute that is and

as

soon as there’s a

need you feel like God abandoned you

what if it was because we weren’t slow

enough to Be

steady Oho this a challenging word even

for me I hear myself I hear you Lord I

hear what you’re saying to me I hate

this

I want to turn my iPad

off how do I stay steady I’m going to

give you the three ways you stay steady

you submit to the

process if God is asking you to do

something you need to become sub to the

mission you need to say you know what I

do not like reading but I’m going to

read my Bible every

day I’m just going to be steady I’m

going to do something I don’t like

welcome to

life okay I’m I’m actually going to wake

up 30 minutes early to make sure I

prepare for my kids school so I’m not

angry at them because they’re

kids and I got up at the time they got

up and so we about to be late cuz they

got

distracted and now you cussing at your

kids before they go start their day in a

place where where they don’t love

them but they would rather be there than

in the house with you because you just

woke up on the wrong side of the

bed okay oh that felt

personal what if this year you were

going to be steady and getting up and

making sure you were prepared because

you you’re going to take on a different

perspective of the honor it is to raise

these

children what if I decided I’m going to

be steady and communicating with my

accountability this year I’m not going

to see them in the streets and be like

hey bro you ain’t called

me accountability is not when the person

you supposed to be accountable to calls

you accountability y’all know what

happens when you go to

jail and you get a parole

officer you accountable to that parole

officer some of y’all too Sav for this

but some of y’all know what it is y’all

know what it

is

[Applause]

when you get out in your

freedom they tell you every

week it is not up to your PO officer to

come find you at

Wingstop it doesn’t matter where you are

you have to go check in with them what

if you made a decision that you would

stop using it as an excuse that people

have

lives and you make it and

effort I’m going be I’m going to be

steady with accountability this year I’m

not going to let the enemy Punk me in

isolation cuz I’m actually going to be

steady just one more time say steady

steady that means just actually submit

to the process some of you God’s been

trying to put you in a process and

you’ve been fighting

it and all he’s saying is you’re not

going to

win you’re just wasting

time how long will you delay your

obedience how do I stay steady number

two stay in

proximity there are environments that

you know that bring life out of you

bring Faith out of you point you in the

right directions and somehow we get

stuck in the environments that

don’t we’re in places more time that

tear us down that make us frustrated

that give us

anxiety and God saying would you stay in

proximity would you stay and that word

just means close stay close to the

places and the people who give life

everybody shout at me

life I wrote it down like this you need

to stay close to the voices the vehicle

and the vision God has for

you you need to stay close to the voices

if listening to Transformation Church

helps you and you know this is one of

the voices that helps you make right

decisions you need to listen to it every

day not just on

Sunday it needs to be your background

music faith comes by hearing and hearing

the word of God all I’m in here doing is

trying to help you hear the word of God

in a different way maybe some of the

time you just need to do it and I don’t

care who you listen to as long as they

point you to Jesus if you if you if

there’s a certain Timber and tone and

and and dynamic that helps feed you stay

close to the things that bring you life

stay close to the people who bring you

life why you and this false humility

real insecure bit that a lot of people

are doing right now well I just know

you’re

busy I just know you got a lot going on

you ain’t ask me what I had going

on you’re already projecting on to me

what you’ve decided because you don’t

want to experience the possibility of

rejection okay I’m talking real deep

right now but some of us don’t have

friends because we won’t just ask

somebody what y’all doing this

Friday cuz you scared that if you ask

them what they what you doing this

Friday they’ll be like ew get away from

me you disgust me you smell like gross

onion like you act like somebody’s about

to and you project on to people and God

saying but you know that’s a voice that

helps you you know that there’s wisdom

when they when you’re talking about your

feelings in there so stay close that’s

how you stay steady I’m telling you

right now if it wasn’t for Natalie Todd

Bri Davis Tim Ross uh uh Aaron uh

Charles uh Bishop like and I could keep

going if it wasn’t for the people the

voices and the people who understand the

vision around

me I wouldn’t have been able to Be

steady for nine years pastoring this

church I I I woke up the other day

shocked that I made it this long

cuz I know

me like I we was talking about the

calendar and it’s like this year in

February we’re celebrating n years of

you being a pastor I said oh my

God cuz if somebody would told me in

2015 February 1st that I would be here 9

years

later I would have been like

ah I really see a good too a possible

three some of y’all play spades how many

books do you have two

a but

nine but the reason that I’ve been able

to stay steady because I’ve stayed in

proximity to people who understand my

value understand the do you know how

many people tell me I can’t do stuff

like uhuh you can’t go there no more I’m

a grown man

I have kids I’m not a kid but we

care so if you show up there if you do

that if you if you say that stay in

proximity last one how do I stay steady

you have to switch your mind into the

promise it’s got to be for the joy

that’s set before you that’s why I’m

trying to encourage your crazy Faith

right now you may not be in it but you

got to switch your mind to the promise

gate what has God said about me what has

he said about my life what has he said

what are the promises in his word what

has he said and I I I I just I just want

to encourage somebody if you don’t

switch your mind into the promise right

now you’re going to be in 2024 acting

like oh now I got to get geared up for a

New Year and God said I already wanted

you to be in

it make the resolution

now make the decision everybody shout at

me

now because if you do what’s slow

now it’s going to pop up and look to

everybody else like a what

suddenly okay okay okay quick recap of

Amos so you understand what God was

saying to them in chapter 1 and two

Israel is just like all the other

nations they whing out in chapters 3

through six prophecies against Israel um

prophecies come against Israel because

they are unfaithful to God and they have

been already given a mandate chapters

7-9 they get five visions of what the

judgment will be like but then God’s

grace intercedes for them in the middle

of their judgment and God says but I can

give you a sudden

switch this is powerful for us to

remember that in the midst of God

correcting us he’s always working on a

Redemptive

plan so when God tells you know he’s

always trying to find a way for you to

get to the

promise that’s his love for

us says yes indeed Amos

9:13 it won’t be long

God decrees things are going to happen

so

fast that your head will

swim somebody say

sudden Hallelujah

suddenly

suddenly somebody say

suddenly suddenly

suddenly

suddenly suddenly this

container has been touched and filled

up this container has just been

changed

suddenly it was sitting

empty nothing was in

it I came to

it I touched it

I put something in it and suddenly it’s

different shout at me suddenly suddenly

and I suddenly walk away from

it

Hallelujah things are going to happen so

fast your head will

swim one thing fast on the heels of

another you won’t be able to keep

up everything will be happening at once

and Everywhere You Look blessing

blessings blessings blessings blessings

blessings blessings say it blessings

blessings blessings blessings believe

blessings blessings on my blessings on

my job blessings

blessings blessings like wine pouring

off the mountain in the

Hills write this down my last

point a sudden

switch comes from a subtle switch

I believe the big thing God is about to

do in your life is going to come from a

little

adjustment that you making

yours

o I want to shout it but I think I think

you need to hear it just as soft as I’m

saying

it a subtle shift in

perspective

a a sudden a subtle shift in your

patterns a a do y’all do y’all see what

happened back here like like like all I

did was something very

subtle I came over here and I turned on

a

switch and I put

water in the container

and I put the top on it those weren’t

drastic changes to what was happening

over here they were all

subtle but I don’t know if you can hear

what’s

happening but there’s a lot of movement

that’s happening I don’t know if they

can really see get close do y’all see

them little

bubbles they

percolating this water that is stagnant

in this container

is starting to get a lot of

movement in this container they both

clear but it was the

subtle

switch that is creating a

sudden

switch we going to let that sit there

for a second keep the camera right there

so they can see what

happening what what’s what’s happening

coming out what’ you

say it’s

bubbling steam is coming out there’s

activation there’s

movement something hold on if enough

heat get on it it might have a little

overflow look at me everybody look at me

everybody look at me everybody whoa whoa

hold on there’s some action happening

right there hold on I wanted your

attention back but but right

now this whole thing has captivated our

entire attention not because of

something great that is

happening it was a subtle

switch that caused a sudden switch oh

shoot hold on now this thing is

steaming hold on this wasn’t a part of

the

example hold on this mug is hold on

Jesus hold

on fresh wind fresh wind fresh

wind hold on oh it’s starting to move

it’s starting

to could this be a prophetic

symbol of everything in your life that

has not had any movement for the past 5

years and God says I’m not about to have

to do something big for you it will be a

subtle switch that uhoh this might break

hold on whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

whoa

whoa whoa it what did you just

say this is moving and it’s making this

move see y’all missing it like it’s it’s

it’s very it’s very light but the thing

that’s not even connected to it is

moving right

now there are family members there are

co-workers there are business partners

there are people on your neighborhood

there are people on your block that once

you begin to walk into your suddenly oh

I feel this thing right now there will

be a sudden

switch because of your subtle

switch he said let’s make some

[Applause]

tea at 411

de nothing moves I mean 2

11° nothing

moves it’s at

212° that water

boils

what if the subtle switch you needed to

make was a one degree

[Applause]

decision one

degree the difference between making

everything everything around you

shake this pot if I ignored

it would have still taken all of your

attention because something started to

steam behind me look people scared right

now cuz it might

break the container may not be able to

hold oh like I hear the glass crackling

right now and if it’s sizzling and if it

does

break it would it would take our

attention again you do not need

attention if you’re

actually

producing what God has called you to

produce the attention will automatically

go to what

God has already put his hand on

I’mma turn it off my whole team is

tripping I can see all of y’all over

there Pastor y’all cut the power I see

what y’all doing they I love

y’all standing everywhere we’re going

home everybody shouted me a sudden

switch

switch but what if it starts with a

subtle switch

[Music]

a subtle switch in perspective a subtle

switch to

patience a subtle switch in

practice a subtle switch in your

schedule what about a subtle switch in

your seeking of

God what about a subtle switch in your

serving everybody listen to me I know

y’all trying to get home but listen

don’t miss the most important part of

this message what if it’s a subtle

switch in your sacrifice

I believe this is a suddenly

season and I ask God every year when it

comes to the crazy Faith offering time

I’m like Lord I really don’t even want

to do

this cuz I already got it I know you can

ask me for whatever you want me to ask

on uh October

16th it don’t ask for that I’m yours you

got everything I got he was like Michael

that’s why you have to do

this you have to give peace people who

have never stretched their

faith Beyond a certain point the

opportunity to make a subtle

switch it was it was a it was $1,000 for

me and Natalie back back in the day that

changed the trajectory of our entire

lives my children’s children will be

blessed not because of what

Transformation Church has given me God

has chosen to bless me from this church

I’m well taken care of but for some

reason people read my

books I didn’t even know I could write a

book but God told me to make a subtle

switch he literally Bri tell you I was

about to I don’t think I told this story

publicly but the first time I went to

Elevation Church and they asked me to

come I knew I was going to preach marked

I have in my phone right

now mockups for marked t-shirts marked

devotionals marked CDs prayer CDs

I had branded I was about to go to

Elevation and open up a

[Music]

Shopify I had it ready and I was like I

don’t care what they give me I’mma sell

these t-shirts and the holy spir I mean

spent money to get them designed

everything like that and the Holy Spirit

said do you do

it you ever felt like the Holy Spirit

start stuttering at you

if and I literally came to bring in my

wife and and God said do not sell any

products until it’s something of value

and I’ll tell you what it

is and the first thing I ever sold and

the only thing I’ve ever

sold is

books and I really was like this is

trash cuz I’m not a big book person like

it’s not like I would much rather buy a

hoodie than a book

especially back in that

[Music]

season but I obeyed God I submitted to

the process I stayed steady do you know

that writing a book is

slow do you know how many edits and rev

just that’s how I said it leave it in

there like no the actual grammatical

punctuations of shut

up it’s a slow process it took us a year

and a half maybe to do relationship I

had to ask for help

I had to get bried to read it with

me we had to sit in rooms for days and

like does that make sense is that what

even actually happened Holy Spirit just

give and then come to all of that and

now it’s time for my book to C Come Out

World

pandemic when I when I when that

happened I was scheduled to go on these

shows and do all this stuff all the

things they tell you you need to do

promote the book and I was in the back

and I called my friend Carl ly and he

facetimed me and I he’s like what’s

going on I was like bro I am stressed

they just canceled everything cuz they

said you know it’s a global pandemic and

you know you acting like it’s nothing

cuz you don’t really know what it is

they say it’s a global pandemic I just

what

anyway I’m I’m sitting there and he said

bro God’s about to use this he said he’s

got everybody at home all that have his

[Music]

time he’s like bro people are going to

read this book it’s going to be a New

York Times bestseller and just his

little encouragement I remember I was

right back

there and I was like all right God I’m

going to change my perspective and my

expectancy one

degree that’s where that concept of 51%

Faith came from people be like Oh I’m

50/50 no no no no no if I know 1% over

halfway that is God I’m doing it one

degree one

decision and that book for some reason

has sold over a

million copies now here no don’t just

don’t just clap for that don’t just clap

for that don’t just clap for that the

clap comes because somebody let me write

another book that’s where the clap comes

hear what I’m saying to you like like

like how would God use this thing that I

never even

considered to be the thing that would

bless my children’s

children it’s because he was asking

me for a subtle perspective

change will you let me do it or do you

want to do it I would be traveling to

every conference in the world had I not

written relationship goals the way I’m

able to be the family man and take my

kids to school and do all these

different things it’s cuz I don’t ever

have to go out and

speak

ever

ever glory to God he

knew that to build this church and to be

the husband and the father I needed to

be I needed to be

home so he gave me a everybody a subtle

subtle he gave me a subtle switch that

suddenly changed everything in my

life

guys this next week I’m asking everybody

in this room and under the sound of my

voice whether you live in here or you’re

in Dubai right now I want you to pray

and ask God is he asking you for the

subtle switch of a

sacrifice we give our money to stuff

that never

even produces one piece of fruit that’s

right and God’s saying I want to change

everything in your life but I want you

to start with a sacrifice and I’m

telling you this is not cuz the church

needs money this is not this is an

opportunity for your faith to go from

this point to go one degree higher and

get to that place of crazy Faith where

God can trust you with the things that

he’s calling you for today I felt that

the end of this service is going to hit

people all different places but next

week we’re bringing our families mended

men are going to talk to their wives and

they going to be like honey I need you

to pray I’mma pray let’s talk about a

number by

Tuesday and some going to come with a

number and they going be like you say

what heck no she like well I just really

thought that God girl you heard from the

devil so one thing I say about that the

devil will never tell you to give

anything

cuz he does the

opposite he’s a stealer he’s a thief

he’s a

liar so sometimes when God says a number

I’m telling you every time that God’s

giv me an natal a number it shocks

me but then it propels me to trust

him and when I tell you whatever amount

this is not about amounts it’s about

your faith I’m telling you this from the

bottom of my heart the literal offering

that Jesus brings attention to in the

Bible is a woman who gave two

mites he said do y’all see this woman

right here called his disciples over he

said that’s crazy Faith right there they

said people is dropping stacks and racks

everywhere how was that crazy Faith he

said cuz everybody else is given out of

their

overflow but she gave from her

need wherever I tell this story of the

Gospel we’re going to remember this

woman’s

story it’s not about amountain it’s

about

obedience I’m going to say it one more

time for the people who are getting over

old religious mindsets and maybe you

came from a church or a place that

manipulated for finances that don’t

happen here I’m trying to increase your

Faith Pastor Mike why does it have

anything to do with money because

where’s your treasure

[Music]

is your heart follows your

treasure especially in this Christmas

season where you about to get your kids

some toys they don’t want

anyway they going to play with them for

exactly seven

hours seven mark my words are they be

broken or they will not be able to find

the

[Music]

remote what if this year God’s trying to

move you to another level just want to

pray for you at the end could you lift

your hands I’m going to pray for our

church cuz this is a church of Faith

father I thank you I thank you for the

sudden switch that’s about to

happen father God I’m not praying for

anything except a perspective

change maybe the process you’re putting

us in and you have us in right now is so

that you can prepare us for the

promise today I’m looking at people

father God who are about to walk into

another level God I feel it I sense it

so strong and God I thank you that our

suddenly

comes with something

slow father thank you for making us

steady God I thank you that this will be

the most spiritually steady year we’ve

ever

had I think you it’ll be the most

financially steady year we’ve ever had I

thank you it’ll be the most relational

steady year we’ve ever had God I thank

you that this will be a year of steady

joy in steady peace in steady seek and

steady

serving and steady

sacrifice father you know the season

we’re walking in and father you already

been starting to talk to me and father

at every level it’s relative you’re

requiring our

faith it’s not a sacrifice father unless

it makes us say

out so today God I thank you that you

would increase

us to have faith father to believe

beyond what we see

father not just for an offering for our

lives of

obedience I thank you that there will be

subtle switches that turn into sudden

switches thank you that this will be the

most fruitful year of our church

history because you’re going to do a

work from the inside

out I pray against fear and

doubt and I thank you Father that faith

is rising in your people today Speak

Lord your servants are listening

thank you that we will hear and

obey have your way is our

prayer even in that same mode right

there if you’re here and you’ve never

accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and

Savior you’ve been running from him I

want to let you know he’s running to

you

today is the day of

salvation the subtle switch you need to

make is you need to get out of the seat

of Lord in your

life and you need to let the King of

Kings and the Lord of lords sit down in

that

seat today I believe that God wants to

transform your life with a subtle

switch make him your personal Lord and

Savior if you’re watching this if you’re

in the room no matter if somebody sent

this to you if you’re watching

rebroadcast the spirit of the Lord is

here right now and I’m telling you

something is moving just like we saw

that water starting to Bubble maybe the

one decision the one degree that needs

to change is you saying Jesus Come into

my life Pastor Mike can it really make

that much of a difference I’m here to

tell you that it changes everything it

took me from being a liar a manipulator

somebody who was addicted to pornography

somebody who struggled with a lot of

dark things in our heart and it didn’t

make me perfect but it made me start

bubbling up to become a progressing man

today I stand here telling you that God

is no perspect no respector of persons

what he’s done for me he’ll do the same

for

you and today he wants to take you from

the shame take you from the bitterness

take you from the Suicidal Thoughts take

you from being trapped in lust and

pornography and

greed and he wants you to bring you into

a

life an eternal life so if that’s you if

you’re watching this or you’re in the

room on the count of three I’m going ask

you to just raise your hands if you want

to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord

and savior some of you have been

backsliding running far from God deep in

the crap that you know you never want to

be and hands are already going up one

you’re about to make the greatest

decision of your life two I’m proud of

you but more than that your name is

going to be written in the Lamb’s Book

of Life this is your subtle switch three

lift your hands up if you want to make

Jesus Christ I see you sir I see you man

I see you sir Transformation Church

let’s give God praise I see you brother

glory to God glory to to God glory to

God you can put your hands down we’re

not going to bring you up and make you

confess everything but we do hope that

you get into a small group where you can

confess cuz that’s where healing happens

but today we’re going to confess that

Jesus Christ is Lord all together and at

Transformation Church we’re family

nobody prays alone so I want everybody

just lift your hands big and wide and

just say God God thank you thank you for

sending Jesus sending Jesus just for me
