I’m so excited for what God is about to
do today if you’re joining us and one of
our other services are watching on the
rebroadcast we are excited because today
we are celebrating 20 years of ministry
and four years of me and pastor not
being the lead pastor and look what God
has done we are so excited because we’re
just getting started and we are in part
5 of a series that we’re calling help me
release this is the year of release we
believe that God has come very clearly
and and said I want you to gather
everybody’s faith around this one word
and I’m unpacking all year but this is a
year of freedom and deliverance for
people this is gonna be a year where you
will not carry around the same bondages
that you’ve been carrying around for the
past decade this will not be a run rerun
of last year if you will allow God to
release in your life and so God begin to
say he said Michael this is the year
that I’m gonna release my people my
children from the place of bondage and I
don’t know what your bondage is I don’t
know what you’ve been tied to I don’t
know what you’ve been dragging along all
of your life but God said this is the
year of release and I need somebody to
get the faith because a lot of people in
this room you’ve been so familiar with
your issue that you think it’s a part of
you and God said that I did not create
you to carry that for the rest of your
life it’s the year of release and he
said I don’t want to just release you
from the place of bondage I want to
release you from the perspective of
bondage because how many know you cannot
be in a place but still think like you
are and a lot of people aren’t in
poverty anymore but still have a lack
mentality a lot of people aren’t in
perversion anymore but still have
thoughts that keep them tied to that and
I’m here to tell you that this is the
year of release and the last part of
that God said is this is going to be the
year that I release you into everybody
say into come on help me say into this
is the year he’s releasing us into the
promise of our blessing God does not
want us to stay in the same place but he
wants us to progress forward so when we
heard that and I’m encouraging you go
back and watch every message that we’ve
done this year
it will set the trajectory for the rest
of this year for your life your business
your family cuz this is the year of
release so if God’s gonna release then
that means we have a part to play
because God only can do something on the
earth through people and so he wants us
to be able to begin to release so the
past few weeks we’ve talked about the
releases we’re gonna do the first
release we said is you know what we’re
gonna let God free in our life see
because there’s a lot of areas that
would be like God you can touch that you
can touch that but not that because this
is my protection mechanism this anger
y’all know everybody got that line that
if you cross the line you just black out
you don’t know what I’m gonna do after
that God said I need you to let me touch
that this year I need you that
insecurity that’s been there since you
were a young child let me into that and
this is the year that God saying okay
y’all you’re gonna have to work with me
let me free in your life and as a church
we’ve made a decision that our faith is
whatever God wants to touch in our life
it’s for our betterment anyway so god
the thing that I’ve been holding back
from you I’m giving it to you the thing
that I’ve been trying to keep secret
from my family and my wife and my
friends here it is God
it may be messy but it will cause me to
experience a miracle and I’m here to
tell you Church that we have to release
so that’s the first thing we gotta let
God free in our life and then we said
you know what we gotta stop holding the
things that have held us to our pants
and many of us the pain of your father
leaving you you have held that for so
long and God says he’s not even here
anymore it’s time to release well God
they didn’t deserve to do that to him he
said no no they didn’t but I’m the only
one that can take a burnt-up situation
and make something beautiful I think the
scripture says it like this
I give beauty for Ashes and God said I
don’t know what you’ve been holding
that’s been hindering you but this is
the year of release and it’s time for us
to stop holding those things this last
one that I’m gonna talk about today I’m
so excited about because I believe this
is the place where God gets a lot of
glory out of our life the last release
that I believe God is going to do an
seeing us to participate in is making it
public
write that down make public because I
really believe that God wants to make
what he’s doing in our life a public
spectacle for his glory and now I know
this is a problem for some of you who
think that God wants to deal with you in
the dark room and then act like you came
out as beautiful as you are
and I know this has been a mentality in
church for a long time that that somehow
we came out like this but what God is
saying is I want you to start sharing
what I’m doing in your life not when
it’s over but while it’s happening yep
I’m gonna come over here because some of
y’all still trying to get the concept
what I’m telling you is you still may
have a broken area and God’s gonna say
tell it make it public well pastor that
doesn’t make physiological or
mathematical sense because might be
completely free from the thing and
walking 10,000 feet away from it and be
totally transformed this is the process
of progression not perfection and there
are too many people that walk into
churches and I heard people even say
this and it breaks my heart I’m like man
you should come to church it was like
there’s some things I need to work out
first
there’s some things I need to get
together and once I get them things
together pastor Mike and I’m gonna be at
church
it’s been 40 years are you trying to get
it together if you could have got it
together you would have got it together
the church is the hospital for Humanity
if you’re broken if you’re hurting if
you’re lost if you’re jacked up if
you’re confused if you don’t know your
sexual orientation if you don’t have a
clue why you’re here you’re supposed to
come to the hospital where we have the
great physician and he’s the one that
can be able to meet every one of your
needs but that means we have not been
doing a good job making public what
God’s doing in our life because a lot of
us we look down on people who are going
through issues when the
you still in your issue and God said
Michael I want you to change
transformation Church from a consuming
Church to a commissioned church we will
not sit here and not make public what
God’s doing in our life can I help you
that’s why the Bible says we overcome by
the blood of the Lamb that’s what Jesus
did but guess what you got a part to
play in it you got to make it public and
the words of our testimony was the last
time you told somebody what was really
going on
when’s the last time that you you you
said you know what I’ve been dealing
with pornography for a long time but I’m
13 days free from it and church people
would be like that’s nothing to
celebrate
you ain’t even made it a month I’ve been
chained to that for years and the Bible
tells me the way I overcome is by the
blood of the Lamb and the words of my
test forget that it ain’t your testimony
but it was day 13 and I’m a-tellin and
now I overcome and day 14 imma make it
public and now y’all better hear me in
this place some of your bondages have
been able to stay there because you
won’t make it you have not everybody say
released and God said this is the year
what I want you to use everything that
you feel like nobody should know as a
platform for my power to be seen imma
imma do things with you which are under
qualify itself which you’ll under
develop self
what’s your unsure self if you’ll let me
use it I’ll use you your family your
ideas as a billboard to bring me glory
somebody shout at me rise and so when I
think about this concept that means many
of us are gonna have to come out of our
comfort zone and we’re gonna have to be
transparent and not just honest
see transparency means that you’re
offering up what God is doing in your
life are offering up when you messed up
honesty is telling the truth when
somebody asks you the question and the
truth is most nobody has anybody asking
them the right questions and this is a
church I know this is gonna make some
people uncomfortable like but I’m
telling you we’re trying to see this
thing run for another 20 years and the
world the thing they can’t stand is us
they want our Jesus but they can’t stand
us and the reason is because many times
we make them feel like we were born like
this
born reading scriptures born loving our
wife your wife get on your nerves like
but you won’t make it public that you’re
in marriage counseling because somehow
you saying that you need help
makes you less of a man or less of a
woman but it’s time for us to identify
with people’s humanity and then take it
to the one who controls eternity and be
able to be a church that can identify so
that God can get glory somebody say
release that means we’re gonna have to
make you public y’all and the reason I
say that is because I’m leading the way
that’s why I can’t get up here any
Sunday and preach something that God’s
not doing in my life because the reason
I’ll tell y’all that I was addicted to
pornography
every Sunday cuz every Sunday I say that
that’s how I over come I’ve been free
from stuff because I make it public
people like you you you real pastor you
real and the thing is I got to be real
or I’ll be real bound like if and I’m
just trying to help somebody if we’re
really talking about being released if
I’m not real with it
then I’ll be real bad and so we started
that in our church as a core value of
being hot humble open and transparent we
say we have a hot culture and I’m trying
to bring that to another level in our
church because I know many of you are
new and many of you come from places
churches from new converts so you’ve
been in church for a lot of years and
you just
come and you Sydney was like oh I’m
passing right she did a great job today
and God bless you we’ll be back two
weeks from now and uh if that’s been you
you’re gonna be very uncomfortable in
this church in this next season because
what is about to happen as we in this
series this is a vision series and I’ve
focused most of this series on what
God’s gonna do in your life but I gotta
move this to what God’s gonna do through
us everybody say through us not just not
just the church as an organization but
you as an organism what God wants you to
do is go into your area of influence and
represent him to the lost-and-found for
transformation in Christ that is our
vision to represent God to the
lost-and-found for one reason what is it
transformation in Christ and until you
go into the entertainment industry and
represent God there’s somebody who will
not be transformed in Christ until you
go into education they not gonna hear
Pastor Mike I’m here to equip you and
you are supposed to go into the welding
industry and be able to represent God
you are supposed to go into in the
sports arena and entertainment and
represent God and that’s why I have a
whole new paper a passion right now to
make public all that God is doing
through this church through my life and
through your life because through that
we’re gonna see God transform so many
people’s lives one of the ways that we
do that as a church as four years ago
when I became the lead pastor one of the
first things we did is we said we’re
going to be completely transparent about
everything and so we we made a magazine
called the transpire and the transpire
magazine is something that everybody’s
going to get a copy of today when you
leave here and if you’re watching online
you can download it on the app or on the
website but the trend get pastor Barbara
looking all good on the magazine look at
her
we’re a multi-generational Church see 60
something plus in her crop top and she’s
single
alright just a plug and she’ll cougar so
uh get in where you fit in all right I’m
trying to get people married up in here
anyway
but what I’m saying is when we started
doing this magazine we put everything in
here every dollar and dime that comes in
this church we put it in this magazine
for anybody to see
everything that we gave a mission
dollars everything why because one of
the things that we have to do is we
gotta make public what God’s doing even
if it’s on a small scale or if it’s on a
large scale and I don’t have time to go
through all the amazing things that God
did in 2018 but there’s a few things
that I want to tell you of how
transformation in Christ happened this
year one of my favorite numbers is 396
everybody say 396 now this is the time
where you get to celebrate 396 people
got baptized in transformation Church
this year transformation church can we
give God Oh
are y’all not happy about transformation
in the building let’s give God pray
Charles I see what type of church we
have we have a few people who understand
that this ain’t for you and we got a lot
of other people that think that this
this is all so they can consume the
problem is we have a lot of obese
Christians that that it’s all about us
eating eating eating give me more word I
want a new word give me a new word but
we’re not sharing what God has given us
and today we’re shifting we celebrate
not three million people butts in seats
we celebrate transformation in Christ
396 people decided I’m done with my old
life and I’m coming up new
can we give God praise for what he’s
doing through your faithfulness to your
giving your testimony through what God
is doing through us come on high five
three people say we did that we did that
come on we did that why are you saying
we did that Pastor Mike because it was
the family members you invited it was
the people you sent the link to it was
the money that you gave so that when
somebody decided to get baptized we had
drawls shirts towels socks
they had no excuse we did that and I
just believe that’s the beginning let me
tell you another one of my favorite
numbers oh this is so crazy at the end
of the year we gather and and we get our
faiths together to be able to give in an
offering and you’re gonna say Mike how
is that a number of transformation in
Christ because we understand that where
your treasure is your heart goes there
as well and I’ve been teaching this and
I’ve been believing that God would make
us into a generous church and so it’s so
crazy a year ago I was corrected in my
numbers from the first service a year
ago when we did our end-of-the-year
offering this year we called it
tabernacle and last year was a legacy
when we did it thirty-nine thousand
dollars came in for our offering and I
celebrated that like it was thirty nine
million dollars because when you’re when
you’re doing the work the work of God in
anybody obeys you’re excited because
somebody was believing so thirty nine
thousand dollars came in last year for
our end of the year often this year
everybody said this year oh my gosh
y’all I’m so emotional because you never
know when you step out on faith if
people will believe with
and we said we know we need another
building we know we need to expand we
know we need to get get things so that
this this message can go out further and
y’all in this one Tabernacle offering
the reason it’s taken me five weeks to
tell you because you’re my pastor tell
us already
some of y’all saying that right now nope
the reason I waited is because every
week I went back to get the number
people were still giving and people kept
giving and people kept giving I said I’m
just gonna have to tell them because I
don’t know if people are gonna stop
giving transformation Church get ready
to celebrate because through your
obedience through your sacrifice through
what we did together in our tabernacle
offering transformation church you gave
1 million one hundred seventy eight
thousand fifty eight dollars and fifty
[Applause]
give God praise in this building you’re
worthy God high-five three people say we
did that come on high five oh we did
that yo Pastor Mike why are you
celebrating that it’s not the number
it’s that God has spoken to people and
they obeyed transformation Church God
has our heart and when he trusts that he
has a heart he can give us more cuz this
ain’t money to give us gold chairs and
do it we’re about to partner with all
type of organizations over around the
city to release people from sex
trafficking to release people from
bondage of poverty to
people who are coming back into real
world after being in penitentiary Oh
y’all better hear me we’re gonna help
we’re gonna help release churches we’re
gonna help everybody shout release we
did that so we can see more people
release let me tell you the most
exciting number and some of y’all like
did I come just to hear you give a
report we’re trying to be the living
word a lot of people read word speak
word don’t live word and I decided that
we would be a church that represents God
to the loss and the found for one reason
what is it transformation in Christ my
favorite number is the reason this
church exists to see people not changed
for a moment but see their eternity
changed and transformation in Christ are
people being saved or accepting and
acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord
it’s not a thing about them being
righteous they’re made righteous because
they put their faith in Jesus and you
know from online and in the building in
the year 2018 nine thousand nine hundred
four hundred and forty eight people gave
their life to Christ if you don’t
celebrate anything else celebrate that
eternities have been changed families
have been turned around transformation
and Christ has done come on starts let’s
give God praise right there
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
the reason why that’s significant
because those aren’t just numbers those
are people like think about nine
thousand four hundred and forty eight
people with stories and names and past
and hurts finding out that God loves
them beyond their fault this is the
crazy thing because many times we don’t
understand are why we celebrate a number
but but but the number our people
they’re people like Nicole and Carell
this is our why they got in a car last
Saturday because they’ve been watching
transformation church online and they’ve
been in a season in their life where
they really needed God to do something
God started reaching out to them through
our online ministry and they heard that
we were baptizing people they live in
Virginia drove nineteen hours with their
daughter
to come to transformation church last
Sunday and be baptized as a married
couple
they said that our marriage is new the
old has passed away
oh if y’all want to celebrate we’re
talking about a life-giving church that
makes a difference this is our why this
is why we gotta make it public this is
why we invite people this is why we tell
people because somebody’s transformation
is on the other side of our obedience
our why is people like Mattie Tiffany
Matt had a hard year last year and he
lives in Lansing Michigan
and God begins to speak to you through
our messages and let me help you it’s
because of the giving of people like you
that we were even able to have cameras
even like what is what is the money for
the cameras have to do with anything
it leads to transformation in Christ he
was so ashamed to go to a church so he
just started watching us online it moved
his heart so much that one day just told
his wife I gotta go it seems like were
you going she said too tall he said to
Tulsa Oklahoma she said what she said
I’ll explain it to you later he got in
his car and drove from Lansing Michigan
to sit in a service he’s set in the
service and he said God met him sitting
right over here in the service he was so
impacted then he drove back that day
packed his wife up and they came back
the next week they were so impacted that
that they went back they got their
children and brought them back the next
week for four weeks in a row they throw
back and forth from Lansing Michigan
because what we were doing here was
transforming their life I’m glad to
report to you that God spoke to them
that this wasn’t just supposed to be a
commute this was their new home they
were in the last service with all of
their family oh and they just moved to
Tulsa and got in their house last week
this is our why this is why we serve
this is why we give this is why we pray
this is our walk and I know it’s hard
because some of us have never been a
part of anything bigger than us but I’m
giving you an opportunity to not just be
a part of a consuming church but be a
part of a commissioned church
that’s only two stories out of probably
20,000 I could pull I’m telling you
there’s somebody else on the other side
of your yes what are you saying Pastor
Mike it’s time for us to make public
what God’s gonna do through your life
and in this church let me help you cuz
something like that was a great speech
but I need some Bible okay
turn with me right here it’s the first
Kings chapter 18 I’m going to the Kings
today okay um I really feel like this
whole making it public thing is very
important because the reason why God
wants to make public in your life what
he’s doing is because he wants other
people to see his miracle-working power
like like he’s not looking for a perfect
vessels he’s looking for your vessels to
be used so all of your disqualifications
are the things that qualify you I’m
gonna say it again everything that you
think disqualifies you
qualifies you to God and he’s looking
for his power to be on display so I’m
gonna just tell you a story real quick
and I’m at the paraphrase this so you
can understand it but I want to give you
the title because some of you are like
okay how am I gonna make public what
God’s doing and I want to give you the
mechanics to making it public the
mechanics to making it public see
because there are ideas and businesses
and deliverances and freedoms on the
inside of you
you’re like I don’t even know where to
start to tell somebody about what God’s
doing I’m gonna give you the mechanics
today but I’m gonna do it through a
story that happened in first Kings let
me paraphrase it for you a prophet
Elijah um God spoke to him because there
was a famine in the whole land and God
said in first Kings chapter one he said
get up and I want you to go tell a hab
that I’m about to make it rain it was a
bad king at the time because he had
different idols than God and so what he
said is that I’m about to make it rain I
want to do something in the land and I
want to do it for people but I need them
to know that I am God and it’s
crazy this whole story is about people
who placed idols on their heart other
than God and I ain’t coming at you right
now but my only question is what’s
sitting on the throne of your heart
because if it’s anything other than God
the thing that you have to realize is at
some point there’s gonna be a showdown
and either what you’ve been serving and
sowing and giving – it’s gonna be yoga
or Jehovah Jireh our provider the Lord
who reigns on high is gonna be your God
and so I just want to set this picture
this is like an old western showdown
right here and it’s gonna happen at mark
Mount Carmel and they say call everybody
out and like this is what’s happening
and what they said was hey I’m one
prophet and and I want you to bring
everybody you think can summon your God
Bale cuz they were serving bail at the
time and it’s okay I know you don’t
serve Vail but you might serve money and
you might serve sex and you might serve
pride and so whatever your God is that’s
the thing that’s about to go against God
today yeah I’m coming for you and they
said let’s meet at Mount Carmel and
let’s have a showdown and I want you to
look at it in verse 20 it says so Ahab
said for all the children of Israel and
gathered prophets together on Mount
Carmel and Elijah came to all the people
and said how long will you falter
between two opinions if the Lord is God
follow him but if Bethel is God follow
him this is what God is saying to you if
I am God for real follow me if money is
God follow it see how far that gets you
see how long that’s going to sustain you
this is the thing where God is saying
for me to make my power known in your
life you’ve got to be connected to me
and so the people look what it says but
the people answered him not a word this
is why God needs our church more than
ever right now is because people are
confused they want God but they see what
the world offers and they’re confused
they’re not saying a word they’re
waiting for God’s power to be revealed
through
regular person just like you so that
they can say that’s God like like no no
no how he healed their marriage that’s
God how he took them from that place of
disparity that’s God and I want to serve
that God and that’s why God’s saying I
want to use you everybody say release
this is what he wants to do in your life
it said then Elijah said to the people I
alone and bless that’s the Prophet is
about 450 of y’all so let’s cut up two
bulls and let’s choose one bull and then
we’ll cut it into pieces lay it on the
wood but don’t put any fire under it
because your God should be able to
answer this situation by fire and I know
my God can answer this situation by fire
so let’s see whose God is really God
verse 24 then you call on the name of
your God and the God who answers by fire
He is God so the people say I bet they
didn’t really say bet it said it is well
spoken but in my mind it was like bad
like now Elijah said to the prophets of
belt choose the bull verse 26 so they
took the bull which was given them and
they prepared it and they called on the
name of bale from morning even till noon
saying oh babe they’ll hear us hear us
but there was no voice and no one
answered then they leaped about the
altar that they had made so they didn’t
just go from singing they did
choreography Oh bear Oh bear oh oh bail
he’ll answer bail like they they were
they were trying to get an answer but
isn’t it funny how we start doing things
and trying to express our love to
something that can never fulfill us I
don’t even got time
so and so it was new now they’ve been
doing it since the morning
now it’s moon noon then Elijah mocked
them saying hey y’all got a they got an
idea why don’t you cry a little louder
he’s God you’re only saying busy y’all
didn’t get on his schedule today umm
maybe he’s meditating or maybe he’s busy
like being God for somebody else or I
got it
he’s sleep y’all need to be an alarm for
him and he’s just mocking them so they
cried aloud and then didn’t they start
doing some stupid stuff they start
cutting themselves as was their custom
what what now I’m serving no God that
make me cut myself but it’s funny we say
that now but we’ll serve God’s that put
us in harm like that was their custom to
cut their self but your custom may be to
lie to cover your god your custom may be
to do something and your custom and what
God is saying is like I need you to know
that everything that you’re doing to try
to prepare a way for your God it’s not
gonna work or the idol that’s on your
heart it’s not gonna work anyway and it
says and midday pass and then they
started prophesying I speak to the winds
in the name of bail and I say you bring
fun and this is something that’s very
special because everybody doesn’t
prophesy a lot of people profile I this
thing was never about to happen because
they were tapped into a power source
that was impotent it could not produce
for them and I my question is how many
of us are so tied to a power source that
can’t produce for us okay let me go back
it said but there was no voice no one
answered and no one paid attention then
Elijah came and said to the people come
near to me this is the beautiful thing
of why God has connected you to
transformation Church and why God is
giving you the
mission to make it public on your job in
your sphere of influence it’s because
the world has been watching something
that has not worked for years these
people spent all day watching something
not work we’re literally seeing this
right now the government not working
literally like everything like all of
these things not working and we’re not
gonna have to pump and Prime like hey
try Jesus are we gonna have to do is
like Elisha y’all come over here because
when you know who’s on your side when
you know it’s not you the reason the
business is gonna succeed is because
God’s using that as a platform to change
somebody else’s life the reason your
marriage would be restored it’s cuz
God’s gonna use that as a platform to
change somebody else like you know the
pumping problem you just say come over
here and look what the response was so
all the people came near to him and he
repaired the altar that the that was
broken down and Elijah took 12 stones
that’s order and according to the number
of the tribes of the sons of Jacob to
whom the word of the Lord had come
saying Israel shall be your name then
with the stones he built an altar in the
name of the Lord who did he build the
altar in the name of I want you to
understand what God’s about to promote
in your life what he’s about to make
public make sure you’re not building it
for your name make sure you’re building
it for his name the reason that God was
gonna do a miracle is because he built
this altar in the name of the Lord and
he made a church around the altar large
enough to hold two bundles of seeds and
he put the wood in order cut the bull in
pieces laid it on the wood and said fill
four pots with water and pour it in the
burnt sacrifice on the wood now he’s
he’s showing out because statistics will
tell us like like if you have a dry
piece of wood it could probably catch on
fire quicker but Elijah was so confident
in the God that he served that he said
I’m gonna dig a trench around this thing
and I’m gonna do the opposite of what
supposed to do right here pour water on
him I don’t what no no we’re trying to
make it light on fire water puts out
fire God said to me through this he said
Michael what people think is the
disadvantage for them it’s the very
thing that’s gonna prove that I’m God
you’re gonna be in a disqualified
situation a situation where the water
has already been poured on it and God
says I don’t want you to look at the
situation where the water has been
poured on it and think that I’m not
still gonna answer by fire they gave you
a notice that you could not get the loan
God said they just poured water on it
and I’m still bout to show up they gave
you a notice that you couldn’t come to
the north side of Tulsa and start a
church that would be ethnically diverse
that was just a little water that they
poured on it I feel the power of God in
this place they told us that when we
transition the church that the church
would go down and nobody would come
that’s not a grocery store within 10
miles of this place all they did was
pour some water cuz the miracle that God
is about to do in your life and what
he’s doing in this church it don’t
matter how soaked the situation looks it
doesn’t matter how wet it looks it does
not matter what is happened God is going
to answer by fire will you give God some
praise in this pool I feel this thing
cuz some of y’all been so discouraged
because your situation looks so we serve
the God who answers Bob’s fire y’all got
me to height some of y’all are sitting
and looking at jury situations right now
your marriage is drenched the trust was
broken a long time ago
God said I’ll rebuild this altar
I’ll I’ll change this thing but you
gotta you gotta let me free in it you
gotta let go of the pass and you gotta
make public what I’m about to do in your
life look at it verse 36 it says and I
want you to realize that they didn’t
pour water on it once he had them come
back and pour water on it three times
and said I know dad’s about to perform a
miracle because I think there’s a
scripture that says something like this
if God be for me then everybody just
lift your hands like that and just say
oh no no I need you to do it no don’t
say it in your bass voice I need you to
say it in the higher questioning octave
say Oh like that’s what some of y’all
need to believe now that even though
it’s a situation that looks bad that
because God is on your side bring them
out bring them out go go stop the plan
of God for this church pause go stop the
plan a god for your marriage
who’s gonna poop if God is for you and
see this is the faith that you have to
walk in when you’re making it public God
is about to use this for a platform look
what he does oh I feel this thing and it
came to pass at the time of the offering
for the evening sacrifice that Elijah
the Prophet came near and said Lord God
of Abraham Isaac and Israel let it be
known or make it public I’m doing this
in front of everybody so God can get
glory huh he said this day that you are
God we’re gonna let it be known that you
are God and in Israel I am your servant
right this point down this is the
mechanics of making it public making it
public is always the plan God never
means for you to go through something
that she’ll never tell somebody else
and I know that scares a lot of y’all
like but what no no no no I’m uh no no
it came to take you out but it’s gonna
work for your good but God can’t use it
if it’s a secret and so it was his plan
all the time how do we know what’s his
plan all the time because God is a
generational God he starts off by saying
this is the God of Abraham who he made
public a spectacle in his life because
he he couldn’t have no children but he
told him he would be a descendant of
many nations and it was at a hundred
years old when his wife’s moon was dusty
do you hear what I’m saying that God
allowed for a miracle to come out of
that so he said I did it for the
generation before and he said I’m the
God of Abraham Isaac I did it for him
and I’m the God of Jacob this is what
I’m saying to you we served the god of
Bishop Gary and pastor Debbie and they
had 20 years in the game and now we’re
savoring the same god of Pastor Mike and
pastor Natalie and we’re gonna sir my
daughter will be able to stand and say
that I watched my grandparents and my
parents God is a cyclic God he wants to
do the same thing remember the song we
sang he’s doing it again this is the cry
of people who have faith if you’ve seen
it before if you heard it before
the Bible says eyes have not seen ears
have not heard nor has it entered into
the hearts of man the things that God
has planned for those who love him what
I’m telling you is it’s been 20 years
but making it public and let’s go into
the world it was God’s plan from the
very beginning look at the next part
making it public is not about my
ascension but my association see
remember what he said he said you are
God in Israel and I’m your servant
it was the Association not his ascension
and so many people are worried about
anymore Instagram followers are being
being famous and and and being able to
make impact and God said no no I can’t
give you that because you lose the
Association when you get
ascension so I’ll take you up and you’ll
forget to pray like I’ll promote you and
you won’t promote me no more and God
says I want to send you into areas of
entertainment and I want you to know
that when you were sinned don’t forget
about your association I’m here to
represent God in this place cuz I’m his
servant you invite me to government I’m
here to represent God in this place cuz
I’m his servant if I go into the movie
industry hello I am here to represent
God because I’m his servant and what I’m
saying is there’s many of you that God
wants to make what he’s placed on the
inside of you public he wants to use
your testimony to go around the world he
wants to use you to affect your
cul-de-sac forget the whole world talk
about the four houses that God placed
you around and he said but I can’t do it
if I ascend you and you lose your
association with me
okay so I’m trying to give you the
mechanics the next point I want you to
see it making it public it’s not I want
you to see that making it public should
have an eternal motive
look at verse 37 look what he says he
says hear me O Lord hear me this is the
reason this was his motive that the
people may know that you are Lord and
God and that you have turned their
hearts back to you again what I’m saying
is I believe God wants to make the
visions and the dreams that he’s placed
in your heart I think he wants to take
it public I think he wants to release
you this year
some of y’all have witty inventions and
ideas some of you have had business
smarts some of you have ways that
families can be reconciled and heal God
wants to everybody shout at me release
he wants to release but what you got it
realize is when he blows it up he saw
that people can find him
he wants to use the platform he gave you
for you to give them the eternal life
that they need I’m telling you right now
everything that God is doing in this
ministry and me and passing Natalie’s
personal life I said at a table with the
famous athletes sports agent last week I
didn’t even know when I woke up that
morning I did not know it what happened
and if I started calling names y’all be
like I’ll for real can I get your
autograph
no but as I left that table
God said Michael I’m about to make you a
secret agent in places that people like
you have never been able to get into
because cuz they wanted them for their
money
they wanted to take a picture with them
or they wanted to show other people that
that their their cool cuz their and God
says I don’t you do none of that
he said I’m sending you on an assignment
for eternal purposes hear what I’m
saying to you if you want to allow God
to really make public all that he wants
to do in your life your motive god bless
me bless me indeed but so that I can get
people to you and that’s why Elijah was
about to see one of the biggest miracles
of his day let me tell you how it all
shakes out it comes down and it says Ben
verse 38 the fire of the Lord fell and
consumed the burnt sacrifice and the
wood and the stones and the duck it
burnt up the dust I never have you ever
seen dust burn it was wet it was a
disadvantaged situation but because the
motives were right the connection was
right and because it was God’s plan all
along when he called on God he answered
by fire and he consumed everything I
love the language look at the next word
it said and it lifts up the water that
was in the trench
literally anything that was wet the fire
of God
what God’s saying is he’s gonna perform
miracles in our life if you allow him to
make it public that nobody will be able
to deny that it was God look what
happened look at the result
verse 39 now when all the people saw it
nobody had to do an altar call line
nobody had to say see guys I told you
God is so good huh yeah none of that had
to happen it said when they saw it they
fell on their faces and they said the
Lord he is God the Lord he is God the
miracle that God is about to release in
your life I believe people who see it
are gonna stand as same it only could
have been God the Lord he is God
somebody help me the Lord he is God when
he sees your relationship restored
people look on a on their faces and say
because of that situation the Lord he is
the Lord he is done when they watch how
a man came here 20 years ago and took
off his shoes in north Tulsa and God
said reverse the curse he handed the
church over to an unpolished 28 year old
and now four years later we’re impacting
the entire world
the only thing I can stand here and say
is Lord he the Lord say it with me he is
got somebody give God praise in this
building it’s oh y’all better come on if
you know that we serve the Lord that
answers by fire
this is the year of release God says I
want to make it public
well will you let me do a miracle
that’ll leave your family who doubted
you saying the Lord he is God – Lord he
is God sit down for one more second
because I want you to write this point
down because some of you this is gonna
carry you the rest of this year making
it public will manifest miracles if
you’ll allow God to use your mess-ups
your defaults your hurts your pains your
issues your shortcomings and you’ll get
accountable and you’ll allow God to work
on your heart he will take everything
that she’ll make public and he’ll
manifest the miracle that’s Mike why are
you so hype about this cuz as I was
praying through this word release when I
was in Chicago earlier this year God
told me something very specific and he
said Mike I want you to do something
that’s gonna make you step out on faith
and you don’t really got no business
doing this but I’m about to use this
take it glory so I said what do you want
me to do got you you want me to put some
more Instagram content out there you
want me to write a book or you don’t I’m
saying make it public through a book so
no I want you to do something that you
thought was years away and it’s time for
what God’s doing a transformation church
to be made public it’s time for what God
is doing in our church for us to allow
other people to be blessed healed and
learned from it well passing like we
just started and God said that’s why
it’s gonna be a real miracle cuz this is
not about perfection this is about what
progression so transformation church I’m
so excited to let you know that he gave
me the date and everything September
10th
2019 we will be doing our first-ever
transformation conference 2000 and now
yeah come on y’all
celebrate with me yeah
don’t check this out we’re inviting the
entire world and we’re about to make it
public what God is doing here
we’ve already rented out the maybe
sinner and we’re all y’all Oh y’all
thought we was gonna do it here we rent
it out to maybe Center and we’re
believing that thousands of people on
September 10th through the 12th people
from transformation nation coming from
the Caribbeans in London and Australia
and Illinois is in California they’re
gonna come and we’re gonna empower them
to represent God to the lost and found
for one reason what is it transformation
in Christ and let me say this very
clearly this is not a church conference
for our church it’s not for us this is a
church conference from our church the
reason I need you to get in serving
positions the reason why I need your
leadership to be released the reason why
I need you to get in small groups and
get accountable the reason that I need
you to start serving every week it’s
because God is giving us a humongous
opportunity to not just be spectators of
the move of God but participated in I
believe that when we set this moment
that the God who answers by fire it’s
gonna meet us September 10th through the
12th and people’s lives will be
radically changed forever and I’m
telling you that this is a step of faith
for me we could be comfortable we could
stay here we could do nothing we could
act like God’s do amazing things and we
just stay real comfortable but it’s
about to be a showdown I believe that
people are gonna come who don’t believe
in God I believe people from the
entertainment industry from the
governmental sector from all they’re
gonna come and they’re gonna see let’s
see if God really shows up and because
of the faith of a group of people there
in this room we serve the God who had
just bought fire and heat it’s blowing
just answer us and meet us in that place
I’m so hype about this I just want you
to check out
just get hiked with me check out this
promo for transformation conference 2019
