Let Him Cook // Receipts: The Proof Is In The Fruit (Part 2) // Michael Todd

Latest Sermons

There’s one fruit of the Spirit that is essential for all the others to truly flourish in our lives—patience. In Week 2 of The Receipts sermon series, Pastor Mike delivered a powerful message on the importance of patience. While we often view patience as punishment, what if we began to see it as a pleasure? As we develop this fruit, we must learn to trust God’s process and let Him cook!. We pray that this message encourages you to embrace the value of waiting and growing in the fruit of patience.

hi my name is Bri and I have the

privilege of serving as Chief of Staff

here at Transformation Church at TC our

vision is to represent God to the lost

and found for transformation in Christ

and we just want to say thank you so

much for tuning in from wherever you’re

watching from if you haven’t already be

sure to like And subscribe we believe

that God has a word just for you so

let’s jump into today’s

message well today I want you to get out

your Bibles and your notepads cuz we are

in week two

of a series we’re calling somebody help

me say receipts receips we are talking

about the proof of our relationship with

God being in the fruit that we actually

display and I am convinced that church

people would have to do less talking if

they acted

different you wouldn’t have to talk

about how we need to as a church do this

if we was already just being generous

everywhere we went right if we were

already displaying patience and and joy

and love and kindness whenever we were

faced with opposition they would know we

have been with God cuz in my flesh I

slap

you oh y’all going to be fake with me

right now somebody’s like I didn’t say

nothing cuz I already SLA no this is

what I’m saying in my flesh I want to go

back to appeal to the nature that

rejects

God but when I am led by the spirit

somebody say I will be led I will be by

the Spirit by the spirit then the spirit

produces these kinds of fruits in your

life and we find that in Galatians 5:22

so for the next 9 to 10 to some odd

weeks rest of the

year I’m going to be walking us through

actually how to get proof in our life

without talking that God is in our

life so I need you to take real notes I

don’t need you to just sit there like

you got it figured out because that you

for the matter is you

don’t because until Jesus comes back and

gets us or we meet him in the sky we

will all be working out our Salvation

And if you don’t get in watch this a

position of humility that’s you will

listen to the thing that God wants for

you and think it’s for somebody

else I can’t tell you how many people

right now are listening to me and when I

start talking about this you’re going to

think about somebody else and God’s

saying you may not be where I want you

to be in that area you should listen to

how I’m trying to refine produce and

transform you today and so I want

everybody’s Hearts to be open because

today I want you to get some more fruit

I want you to have receipts for what God

has done in your life Galatians 5:22 but

the Fruit of the Spirit spirit is help

me love joy peace patience kindness good

uh-uh we got to y’all ain’t never read

in school

together your patience T we going to

sing we going to say this out loud

strong okay but the fruit of the spirit

is love joy peace come on patience

kindness goodness faithfulness

gentleness and self-control

against these things there is no watch

this

limit it says no law but what a law is

is a limit right what the Bible is

saying is I will not let there be a

limit on your love if you would allow it

to erupt in you I won’t let there watch

this be a limit on your peace if you

would allow me to work that fruit on the

inside of you and

today I need to talk about how important

I think the most important fruit

is cuz most people want me to do this in

sequential

order you want me to talk about love

today and I kind of wanted to talk about

love but the truth of the matter is um

some of y’all ain’t going to allow love

to actually take root in your

heart because it takes time to

transform and some of us are so ready to

get to where we’re supposed supposed to

be or we want to be or where we think we

should be that we will not let God do

the work on the inside of us and so when

I begin to look at the nine fruits of

the spirit I begin to say which fruit do

we need to accomplish all the other

ones which fruit if we could just get

this one would allow us the

opportunity to actually be processed

long enough to develop the other fruits

cuz it’s not the magic trick of the

spirit it’s something that has to be

produced that means it’s something that

takes time it’s something that has to be

watered cultivated work

through

transformed so

today I’m talking about the fruit of the

spirit of can you guess it

patience

uh-huh some of y’all like pay God pay

God why is that

though like for real like if I if I said

does anybody need more love everybody

like oh yes love anybody want to live in

joy oh joy joy joy joy I got that

Joy if I said Peace it’s like oh my God

I just want more

peace but patience is the thing that you

know eludes our prayer list a lot

I don’t know about you but I don’t come

to God all the time be like Lord and

today just work in me

patience cuz I cuz I know

patience takes other

stuff it’s not something I just

receive it’s something I got to walk

through to get patience I don’t just get

it I got to go get

it and so when I start to think about

the fruit of the spirit of patience and

I went back to why I don’t like patience

can I be that honest right now why I

don’t ask the Holy Spirit to develop

patience in me is because I know this

going to kill my

flesh y’all sitting up here acting like

you like

waiting where are all the people that

going to be real with me that hate

waiting can you this is what we need God

to stand in she stood up sit down

okay but this is what I found out cuz I

begin to think about how I was

introduced to waiting or to patience and

it’s attached to waiting and most of the

time it’s a negative

connotation when I was young uh-uh uhuh

uh-uh wait you cannot have dessert

before your

meal uhh uh wait you not tall enough to

get on this ride wait uhuh uh you don’t

have your driver’s permit get out the

driver’s seat sit in the

back think about how we were

introduced to

waiting it it it’s it’s the law of first

mention in our life or the first becomes

the

foundation and so many times how we’re

introduced to something depending on how

you were raised where you were at who

your parents were waiting had a negative

connotation before you even had a choice

to be able to look at it differently

yeah no sit down and wait till I get

done

shopping

okay think I want you to for real think

about how you were introduced to waiting

most of us it was negative so today I’m

coming to reverse a paradigm or a way of

thinking that has been in your mind so

that you can see that patience is not

watch this a punishment

Point number one patience isn’t a

punishment out of all of the things that

God says I want you to have receipts or

fruit for this in your life he could

have used anything and one of the main

ingredients is patience so God does not

see patience as a negative he actually

sees it as watch this

necessary that anybody that is actually

going to walk out what he’s called them

to in this life is going to need this

receipt at all times right and your life

is pretty miserable when you do not have

patience cuz everybody on your nerves oh

y’all stop playing everybody on your

nerves when you call somebody depending

on how many rings it is what are they

doing I just text them and told them I

was going to call them I’m on the fourth

ring don’t let us talk about food

you you you got your GrubHub pre-ordered

for 4 days from

now I don’t want to wait I I don’t want

okay when we get into that space what it

is doing watch this is slowly

desensitizing us to a spiritual

character

trait that the Holy Spirit wants to

develop in

us and our culture is working Christ’s

character out of us

did you hear what I just said our cult

my kids do not even have to wait for a

show to come

on some of y’all don’t like me neither

some of y’all ain’t old enough to

understand when you wanted to watch a

show you had

to back in the day you couldn’t just go

to an app and pick whatever

season you had to catch

it and you miss the beginning all the

time a shoot I ain’t even know it was on

my kids now like season six episode 15

Cat in the Hat

what though it may be fine for

technology is it okay for your

transformation

okay patience is not a punishment can

you say it with me

patience is not a pun just one more time

patience is not a

pun what if just dream with

me that you could look at patience as

your

pleasure like what I’m not saying you

there now cuz I’m

not but what if using patience was a

pleasure for you sir we can’t see you

for another 45 minutes that’s fine

about I’ll wait you

know you know people that have patience

are usually people that have their needs

met people who do not have their needs

met are in a hurry and a rush and trying

to sorry sir the plane will be delayed

for 3

hours my pleasure to sit in this airport

and wait with all of these germs

now now watch now watch it’s a matter of

perspective because if they’re telling

you you have to wait for 3 hours because

one of the Wings was

faulty you know what take all the time

you know what my cousin is a mechanic

hold on

Jerome I’m here at

a I was about to call an airline let me

stop it if you knew the consequ es of

not

waiting you might think about it

differently if you had to have an an a a

invasive

surgery and they said well we have an

intern here that has seen this surgery

on

video and he can do it or the doctor

will be here in about 45 minutes he got

stuck in

traffic Charlie sorry I’m glad you’re

here but I’m waiting on Dr

[Music]

kokan what if waiting was my

pleasure okay I’m just trying to

introduce you to a different way of

thinking it patience is not negative

it’s practical for you reaching your

promise cuz anything that God has up

ahead of you that is big it’s going to

take a process to get there and most of

us are quit

waiting because we don’t like

waiting okay so Pastor Michael I need

you to tell me today the quickest way to

develop patience I got

you I got you I’mma tell you the

quickest way get your notepad ready get

your phone ready I’m about to tell you

the quickest way to develop patience in

your life Adam found the cheat

code point.

one

waiting you want to you want to develop

patience waiting is the

way waiting is the way why Pastor Mike

because patience needs a

process if you want to develop patience

God’s always going to hand you a

process and this is now why we have to

understand the pattern of our God the

reason I read the Bible is because I get

to understand his

patterns like I’m not so thrown off

because I’m not the only one that had to

go through this so when I think back in

the Bible that God is using these

amazing men and women of God he always

put them in process Noah could have just

had a boat show up at his

house but God made him take the wood and

build the boat he put him in a

process Abraham in his old age could

have just been given a child or adopted

a child or taking a son but God said

I’mma give you a promised child and the

Nations will be blessed out of you and

then made him wait for 25

years he put him in a process a process

where he waited so long that he got one

of his concubines and his wife got

together and made a plan and made

something illegitimate because they

thought God had

forgot even

Jesus Jesus could

have straight to the

Cross down grown man full beard hair

like wool I am Jesus nail Me to the

Cross he said I’m not going to do it

like that I’m gonna let him be born into

a

manger and I’m going to let him live for

30 I’m going to put him in a pro I’m

going to make him be able to go to the

synagogue and then at 12 he going to

disrespect his mama cuz he didn’t tell

him where she was going we don’t hear

for him for 18 years and at 33 he shows

back up as a carpenter he went through a

process what I’m trying to let everybody

know is that God is going to put you in

a process to develop patience I thought

about one of my favorite dishes it’s mac

and cheese how many people love macaroni

and cheese okay let me ask this question

how many people can cook macaroni and

cheese

half of y’all are lying um but the only

way I thought I could cook macaroni and

cheese here on the platform was

quickly and you saying no but you ain’t

got no pots you ain’t got no

pant and if I wanted mac and cheese in

this

moment oh man this is this looks

delectable I’m going to put

this in what is quick for 3 minutes and

in 30

seconds this is what a lot of our

patience looks

like let me just go through this quick

process real

quick and it might not be as

good but it’ll get the job

done it’ll

work how many of us have been living

below what God has for us because we’ve

been just saying well it’ll work they’re

not the man of virtue that I’m supposed

to be

with but they’re

here it’ll work this is not the job or

the purpose or the thing God showed

me

but it work and what if I tried to

convince you that this was very

valuable what if I tried to make you pay

$37 for this Gorge or may

handcrafted and when I say hand I put it

in the microwave with my

hand macaroni and

cheese you would walk away because it is

a cheap

counterfeit for something that you know

could be so much better if it had watch

this word

time Thanksgiving is coming up and the

one thing that my wife is a

excellent assassin in making she’s an

assassin is crack and cheese we don’t

even call it mac and cheese it’s

addictive probably not a politically

correct name but it works in the Todd

household and I don’t know if I got like

30 minutes left in this message and if

there was somebody who was a master at

cooking I would rather wait

for something that has gone through a

process then settle for something I can

have right now is there a chef in the

house um Chef Tiffany are are you are

you with us Chef Tiffany could could you

I don’t know I they told me somebody was

at a kitchen there you go everybody say

what’s up to Chef

Tiffany okay Chef Tiffany right now is

in the back in um represent scratch

kitchen we just made that up and um her

and Bubba are actually working on what

y’all working on back there mac and

cheese yeah we got some smok good mac

and cheese we got some garlic butter

herb chicken we got some brussel sprouts

and we also have a peach

cobbler I want to say glory to the most

high God Chef Tiffany we’re going to

check back with you in a little bit you

go on and do your Thug Thizzle and I’mma

wait out here with the people and then

I’m coming back there to get me a bite

amen

amen why would I

settle

ooh now they call this the cheese

mix what is

this I don’t know if this came from a

cow and how many

Believers are walking

around somebody said don’t eat

it how many people are walking around

with a

mixture that has no authentic

ingredients this is why when they taste

us when they see us in our job place

when they see us at the game when they

see how we post they’re just like this

can’t

be so the title of today’s sermon is

watch this let him cook

cook let him

cook if the Master Chef Our Savior Our

God gets his hand on your situation

don’t rush him in the process be patient

and let him cook I’m about to get happy

some of the things that you need in your

relationship in your marriage in

your in your

heart it’s not coming quick I am sorry

to tell you 2025 will not be the year

everything God said comes to you oh they

don’t want to hear that God dog I just

love half the crowd do you want me to

lie to

you 2025 you will see

Miracles but it may not be the whole

thing because if he gave it to you all

at one time it might destroy you oh God

okay somebody say let them cook let when

I look that um up in the very

sophisticated Urban Dictionary it means

to let somebody do something they’re

good

at because it’s going to become better

for you if you let them have watch this

the time what does that mean if somebody

that is a master needs time to do

something that means you have to

wait and um waiting write this

definition down down is the capacity to

accept or tolerate delay trouble or

suffering without getting angry or

upset so so waiting I’m G say it again

is the capacity to accept Toler and

tolerate delay trouble or suffering

without getting angry or upset so the

truth of the matter is some of us have

not been waiting we’ve just been

complaining cuz it’s only waiting if

you’re not upset and throwing T temper

tantrums and God’s saying how you wait

matters that’s why in Romans 8:28 you

have to look at this through the lens of

patient it says and we

know that God the Master Chef is causing

every ingredient of our

life to

work together for the good of those who

love God and are called according to his

purpose so when I think about waiting on

God I gotta put my hope in who has their

hands on the

situation and some of us are waiting

aimlessly cuz God’s not in

it you didn’t hear what I just said this

was your idea your plan your mama n plan

for your life you’re waiting on

something to happen that God never

commissioned or ordained in your

life well I’mma I’mma Be I’mma Be I’mma

Be an entrepreneur and do

and my question is did you do Proverbs

35 and 6 acknowledge God in all of your

ways did you bring it back to him so

that he could say yeah but kind of like

this and many of us are frustrated

because we are waiting on something

watch this God never promised

I’m in your business and I need you to

hear me say this very clearly God is not

committed to the promises you made

yourself in an emotional state while

listening to worship

[Music]

music you wrote it down in a journal but

he never said

it you saw it on somebody else’s

Instagram but he never instructed it for

you and now because of mismanaged

expectations you are mad at God

frustrated with your present and ready

to give up because your hope is in

something that will never happen cuz he

didn’t say

it all right let me keep moving let me

get back to my notes but the Holy Spirit

wanted you to know he is not on a

condition

based I want to say it with love in my

heart cuz it is love cuz I get sad when

people get frustrated at

God but it’s because well I’m not

married yet he didn’t say at 22 you were

getting

married you said

that you made that so since 22 you’re 29

now and God instead of looking at that

seven years as a

blessing of development you have been in

misery because your own idea did not m

match up with God’s instructions for

your life I can’t tell you how many

pastors are pastoring a church that is

at the brink of going down because they

were actually supposed to partner with

another church but their pride did not

let them be able to submit in a place

they had to be the man of God m a n d

they had to be the man of God and so now

they’re managing so much smaller than

they should be

okay Pastor Mike why are you saying this

point number two waiting seems

whack I’mma give you a Michael Todd

Point waiting seems

whack but patience produces watch this

power waiting seems whack every time I

got to wait it seems whack but the whole

time I’m waiting God’s

working the whole time I’m waiting say

it with me God’s

working what you do not see is the most

beautiful and Powerful part of our God

is every time it looks like a closed

door you don’t see the door that just

cracked

open every time it looks like they

walked away God said they could not fit

in this next room I’m taking you into

the power of God is always working while

we are waiting that’s why it may seem

whack but power is being produced how do

you know because when the disciples were

waiting on the Holy Spirit he told them

go to the upper room and wait right

there until I give you power no you’re

about to go out and change this country

and this region and change this place

but do not go without

power so how did they get power they

waited oh my God they did not go do more

things grab more things find more things

gather more people they sat in a room

for an

unmarked amount of

time was they playing Uno dominoes were

what were they playing patty we don’t

know were they singing songs and hymns

and

what they had to occupy

space until God said all right they’ve

been in a place long enough I can give

them power could it be that you won’t

stay in a place long enough for God to

drop power in your

life you’ve been at seven

churches

seven and a half cuz you testing us out

and what I’m saying to

you what I’m saying to you the only

common denominator in all those places

that weren’t

[Music]

good was you and could it

that God’s saying no place will be

perfect but I need you to get

planted I need you to get somewhere and

I need you to allow me to develop roots

on the inside of you so what’s in the

soil there can be cultivated and come up

and actually Bear everybody shout at me

fruit you need fruit in your life but

you cannot get fruit if you are not

planted that’s a whole another message

that’s a whole another

message so what I’m saying to you is is

waiting may seem raack whack but

patience produces power acts 1:4 on one

occasion while he was eating with them

he gave them this command do not leave

Jerusalem but oh what that say

wait for the gift my father promised

which you have heard me speak about

which is the holy

spirit so now I got it Pastor Mike I’mma

let God cook in my life I’mma ask

somebody say let him

cook I I know waiting is the way I know

I know that I it might seem whack but it

produces power let me give you another

Point

waiting is

work now don’t don’t let me get up here

and give you three points in a poem and

be like I’m going out and I’m just going

to wait on the Lord

waiting is work but it’s good work it’s

a work that develops something in you

you don’t just feel depleted you get

something out of it and what ends up

happening is when you understand that

waiting is work watch this this you’ll

understand that patience is still

proactive sometimes when we begin to

wait on the Lord we think it’s an excuse

to be

lazy well I’m just waiting on God what

are you doing in the

meantime I’m just waiting on God he

ain’t brought me another job yet okay so

what gift are you

perfecting what are you reading what who

are you helping what seeds are you

sewing in a season where you have time

to sew those seeds whose Vision are you

undering where are you putting your

effort in time Netflix is not about to

produce the miracle you

need you got eight hours in a SE in a

series that’s going to come out with

another episode next week and you have

given your time your precious

treasure to something that cannot

produce the right type of fruit so I

want to let you know right now as I’m

standing here that waiting is

work but when you

wait it means that you got to be

proactive I’m challenging some people

right now who are in between

things to do something that SWS a seed

right now for the future you want to see

you waiting on kids babysit somebody’s

kids for date

night so a SE she said you better talk

my number is 966 432 I hear you

sis you you waiting on God

then sew a seed that proves you’re

waiting

proactively well I’m waiting for my

money to get right cuz when my money get

right I’mma give boy I promise you I’m

dropping Stacks when God blesses me like

that no you’re not cuz you won’t give a

dollar okay let me

stop Ecclesiastes 11:6 plant your seed

in the

morning and keep busy all afternoon for

you don’t know what’s going to profit

will it come from one activity or

another oh this is my favorite part or

maybe

both who knows what God will build as

you are proactively waiting on him

you’re waiting on that loan to come

through start budgeting right now like

it already came

through oh

God Pastor Mike why is this important

it’s my last

point because waiting is actually

worship

waiting is

worship cuz patience changes your heart

posture Chef

Tiffany um are y’all still back there

making my food cuz I ain’t seen y’all in

like 22 minutes yep we’re still working

on it oh it’s still working that chicken

look raw yeah it’s coming that that feel

real raw you got to just wait and see

did y’all hear what she said she said

just wait and

see what if our worship to God in this

next

season is a wait and see

worship which takes one word everybody

tell me this word say this word write it

down everybody say trust trust see right

now it’s easy to believe that something

is happening because I can see

it but what happens when the screen is

no longer on what’s happening in the

background of my

life what happens when the only thing I

can see is

me what happens when nothing back there

I can take them off the screen please

can y’all take them off the screen in

the back just take them off the screen I

said it four

times I was really trying to work it God

do this is live straight from tssa

Oklahoma like

[Laughter]

I seen it I was like oh God all

right I love our church shout out to the

production team can we shout them out

they be killing all right I be doing all

kind of crazy stuff maybe the button got

my

bad I had to wait on I let the message

do use me okay okay God I hear

you I got impatience live in front of

everybody I’m

humbled I hear

you let him cook he said yeah why you

preaching that message I’m about to cook

you God

do but but isn’t that how God does us at

the moment we get in the role of the

teacher like we have everything figured

out

he said I’mma expose you in front of all

of

them I

[Music]

receive somebody say let him

cook patience is not a

punishment it’s

preparation I thank God for all of the

moments that he didn’t allow the process

to be

televised I thank God for all of the

moments he allowed me to develop

something on the

inside when I only got 15 Instagram

likes yeah y y’all don’t hear me like oh

Pastor Michael this social media like

no God was developing something in me

when barely anybody was

sing and I learned something very

valuable in this moment that I would

love to share with with you is that

because the posture of my heart begin to

change when I would

wait I realized that I wasn’t just

waiting for

God I was waiting with

God today I want you to be introduced to

Emmanuel the god with

us that means you have to have

relationship ship with him if I tell

Charles hey bro I got something for you

wait right

here my man will wait there for me for a

long time because of our watch this

history because of the relationship we

have my word without

explanation will keep him at a certain

place waiting for me to come

back not because I’m perfect not because

I got some because we got history when

you spend time with

God this is the importance of having a

devotion life and not just coming to

church but actually being with God every

day of your life sitting with him that

John when it says he is the vine we we

are the vine and he is the vine dresser

being connected to him abiding with him

these are words that allow us to know

whatever we go through he is with

us and sometimes the best part of life

is not what we get from God it’s just

being with him great great somebody say

Emmanuel emuel God With Me God With Me

yeah you know what it’s been a long time

I need to go

taste um this food because if not

service will be over and I will be

forced to devour whatever concoction

nutritional

value of what is somebody say it’s none

to what I am going to taste I smell

it there is a

fragrance in the room right now if y’all

could be back here you would

smell the aroma before you even see it

taste it or touch it could it be that

people are getting a whiff of your

waiting before you even come in the

room right now even as I’m coming into

it I’mma do it for real though is this

right Chef

Tiffany yes that’s right okay

um as as the process is going forth this

is what they call plating right yes that

that means there has to be a

presentation that means that what was

done in the dark and actually was made

where nobody could see there a level of

intentionality as how we bring it and

present it to other people

church it’s time for us to do a better

job at presenting the one that loved and

cared for us to this world we got to

Plate Christ better we got to love our

enemies we got to walk in Joy that’s why

this series of having receipts is so

important because we have to display

patience and right now as you were

putting a garnishment is that a

garnishment it is micro greens it’s

micro greens you see I ain’t that help

healthy I don’t even know what that is a

micro green and and and hold on we got

the Reapers in on our pocket I like that

what you got people get oh look at you

hold on what is this what does this do

is I got one hold on I’m a real Chef

thank you this is a thermometer to make

sure that the food was cooked correctly

to the right temperature that means that

the way that we live actually has to

have a level of temperature to it that

can actually get out the

impurities Church what I’m telling you

is when we’re asking God to do the work

in US sometimes the Fire gets turned up

the only way this is cooked is because

it went through heat it went through

fire I hear the fire back there right

now it has been through a process and

all I’m saying is what if the holy

spirit’s whole job was to make you know

that waiting on him being patient is not

a punishment but it’s the process that

gets the best fruit out of your life at

this moment Chef

praise maybe

[Applause]

my my

bed my b e e d my

bed what would it look

like if the world was that hungry to

taste and

see y’all miss it

what would it look like if the fruit

that we live with and we love with was

that

attractive that people would yell to get

our attention tell me about

Jesus let me know how you made it

through the divorce let me

know I heard about a man oh that can

heal your infirmity

I heard

[Applause]

about it’s been too

long it’s been too long that we haven’t

heard the cries of the

world for the Jesus we

have and could it be because we have not

been bearing enough

fruit standing all over this building

we are in a

season and in a

time and in a

place where the truth is we’re not the

chef we get to talk and touch certain

things but we serve the

chef and waiting has to become worship

for us

today I’m just asking even in the room

if you would just wait before you leave

hear me hear me hear me cuz this is

maybe the most powerful part of this

service is that when we wait listen to

me waiting is

Warfare when you

wait you’re going to war with the

Enemy you don’t hear me because it

proves you trust

God and what the enemy cannot get in

front of and stop he gets behind and

tries to rush

it I should be married I should be a

millionaire I should do this I should do

that and the Holy Spirit said hold

up be

patient I’m Emmanuel the god with

you and if you would let the Holy Spirit

just work this thing in you we sang it

today you’re an H one time

God you love The

Impossible you’re in on

time y do do you understand the concept

that even when we think he’s

late he’s right on

time so maybe

today the prayer

is God let me not wait anymore for

You Let Me Wait wait with you if you if

you need to pray that prayer and be

sincere about it so that the fruits of

the spirit can begin to develop would

you just lift your hands all over I want

to pray for you come

on yeah today Father we want the receipt

of

patience and the proof only comes if

there’s fruit in our life so today all

over this world all in this

Arena today God we are asking you

to help us wait with

you let us not be so in our hurry to

move from this place to go to that place

that we miss the miracle of

here let us not be so in a rush to prove

that we can make it or that other people

can see how good we are that we miss

your goodness in this

moment even as some of us sit here

hurting and want to move father God

would you please let us not leave here

without getting everything from here

we’re supposed to

get here is

Holy Father God for all of us that have

been worrying

it while we’re waiting today God I thank

you there would be another level of

trust that would be birthed on the

inside of

us and father God expose the areas in my

heart that do not believe you’re

thinking about the details of my life

would you father God help my

unbelief come on y’all let’s pray real

prayers today would you help my unbelief

where it seems like you forgotten about

me or forgotten about our family or

forgotten about our

church today I switch my perspective

that this waiting or this patience is

not a

punishment it’s actually a proof of your

love for me that you would put me in a

process to develop in me the promise

that you have for

me Father this song is

frustrating but I pray it becomes our

heart’s

posture I don’t mind

waiting I don’t mind

waiting I don’t mind

[Music]

waai on you

Lord I don’t mind

Wai I don’t mind

waiting I don’t mind

waiting on you

Lord they that

wait on the Lord shall

Ren their strength they shall Mount they

shall mount

yeah up

WS

like hey

shall I feel this presence

wait we going to sing it one more time

but I dare Faith to erupt in this place

say day that away day that

away on

come on believe

wings like an eagle an eag and

S they shall they shall

I will be patient I will let God

do I’ll let him do the work somebody

just lift your hands that’s what happens

that’s what happens when I wait w I feel

that thing come on y’all that’s what

happens when you believe it with faith

that’s what happens when you somebody is

about to get a fresh perspective that’s

what happens when you that’s what

wait wait on the

Lord wait on the Lord God’s ministering

to somebody say

[Music]

will come on let’s sing it if we going

do it wait on the Lord I will wait on

the Lord wait on the

Lord he will he

[Music]

so

[Music]

way there’s a scripture that

[Music]

says that God is not being

slow about his promise as many of you

are

thinking he said he is being

patient and giving you time to get your

stuff together and bring it to him so

that you will not be devoured

today I feel like even in this posture

of waiting that there are some people

that need to give their life to Christ

and I’m not talking about some little

like yeah I did the church thing I’m

talking about this is about to transform

your life I’m talking to teenagers and

I’m talking to the 68-y old men who have

lived their own way and everybody in

between today if you want to give your

life to Christ today he’s been waiting

on you he’s allowed his grace and his

Mercy to pour out so that every lie that

you believe would bring you to this

point and you would see that there is a

loving savior who is ready and willing

to be with you in every situation Pastor

Mike why are you so passionate because

this took me from being a liar a

manipulator addicted to pornography dark

things in my heart a bad person and God

didn’t make me perfect but now I’m

progressing to be like

him and today is your day of salvation

on account of three if you’re in the

room I feel the presence of God or

you’re online today is your day of

salvation God has been patient with you

and today is the day that you make a

decision to make him the Lord of your

life one you’re making the greatest

decision that you could ever make two

your name will be written in the Lamb’s

Book of Life for all eternity three if

you want to make Jesus your personal

Lord and Savior lift your hand up all

where patience is developed but we’re so

happy for you Hey listen we close

service out this way every single week

invite two groups of people one some of

you need a place for patience to just

sit with you I want to take a moment and

I’m going to open up the altar as our

worship team begins to sing and some of

you just need practice waiting

immediately like you don’t need to put

it off for a second we got a church a

little some of y’all look down like oh

my goodness I’m about to go get some

food some of you need a moment to let

patience sit with you as we begin to

worship our team is going to sing I’m

going to invite you to come down front

if you just need a moment to sit with

God to worship another thing we’re going

to do is every single week in the back

of the room we have an entire prayer

team that is ready right now to pray

with you if you struggled with waiting

if there’s a specific situation that

instead of waiting you’ve been worrying

about and you need somebody to pray for

you nothing too big nothing too small I

want to invite you as you leave stop our

team would absolutely love to pray with

you I’m going to take a moment if you

want to come down to the front to

worship you can go ahead and do that and

uh I’m just going to pray over us that

as we close out this service that this

would be a transformation not just a

moment but that something goes to our

life would you lift your hands Lord God

thank you so much for everything you did

in this service thank you Lord Jesus

that patience to us will become a

practice Lord Jesus that it wouldn’t

just stay within this moment Lord God

but I thank you that even as we worship

even as we go out even as we receive

prayer that you would do something on

the inside of us God we don’t want to be

impatient anymore we don’t want to live

a rushed life Lord Jesus but would you

live let us live at the pace of your

grace Lord God trusting you fully that

you have our life in your hands Lord God
