Vacant Vision // See It Before You See It // Crazyer Faith (Part 5) // Michael Todd

God has a vision for all of our lives. But are we preparing for it? When we take what God has given to us and write it down, we begin to fulfill that vision. If we’re vacant in preparation for it, it will pass us by. Pastor Mike shows us how we can get ready for God’s vision, and how we can begin to see our anointed imagination become reality.

oh come on transformation church

let’s give god a shout of praise

oh come on has he been good to you this

week

has he been faithful

all over the world let’s give god one

shot of praise

oh magnify the lord with me

i said with me god you’re worthy

hallelujah five more seconds

shake off the weak

and give god the praise that he’s worthy

of

hallelujah

oh i feel something about to happen in

the room

happen in your house

happen in your heart

somebody

y’all quit

quit

i feel expectation this morning

anybody expecting anything from god

right now come on in the chat what i’m

expecting i’m expecting

i’m expecting it’s funny

that um

around transformation church a lot of

people having babies right now

a lot of y’all just don’t know what to

do with yourselves

pandemic and

people

at home and now everybody’s rubbing up

we having a baby we having a baby and

i’m so excited

about everybody that’s

expecting the one thing that happens

when you’re expecting

is everything changes

because you know something’s coming

[Music]

like what you eat changes

where you go

changes who you allow

yourself to be around changes

when you’re somebody say expecting

this whole series that we’re in what i

believe god’s trying to do

is make people expect something that

maybe they weren’t pregnant with in a

different season

maybe it wasn’t something you were

believing for in a different season but

right now somebody said i’m expecting

say it with faith somebody say i’m

expecting

now the question is what are you

expecting

because some of us are expecting

hurt

expecting pain

expecting frustration because it’s what

happened last time

but today god told me to encourage

everybody that is in our church

to expect good from god

[Music]

i don’t know who

needs to hear this this morning

but you’ve been expecting

for it to fall apart and how it’s about

to mess up and where we’re gonna have to

put it together and god told me as i was

coming down this morning he said michael

tell my children

expect good for me

lift your hands right now because some

of y’all are are in a place where you’re

like i don’t know how father i pray that

you would raise the level of expectation

that we would expect good from you

i feel the presence of come on

just just begin to say god help me

expect good help me expect you help me

expect more than i’ve been expecting i

expect good from god

i even heard god say

a no is good

because it means a better yes

[Music]

y’all miss the whole i’m already too

deep into the message y’all need some

but god said even the no is good

because that means he’s saving you for a

better

yes i need somebody with faith to help

me already there’s a better yes in your

future

there’s a better yes around the job

there’s a better yes for your business

and your family no

is not not good it’s a better

yes

and i’ve just been sensing a better yes

oh i feel that thing

god says some of the things that he said

no to

was his protection

it was for a somebody just say a better

yes

i just think about it this ain’t my

message but somebody is pulling on me

right now you need to be encouraged

right now

that god has said no several times in a

row

because that would have been

jeopardizing

to the plan he has for your life

but he’s been setting you up

for a better

yes

my daughters

they now start to tell me that you

you

why you keep saying no

because they don’t know what i have

planned for them

and when i tell them they can’t have

pizza at breakfast

it’s not because i don’t want

them to have good in their life

it’s cause i know what me and their

mother talked about

what we’re to take them for dinner

there’s a better yes in the future

[Music]

and i just feel like somebody’s

expectation needs to raise because the

no

is not no it’s a better yes

thank you lord

that we can see your goodness

even when it doesn’t feel good

thank you for what you’re gonna say and

do today i feel your presence already

i’m trying to move right now but

prophetically somebody was about to give

up because of the door that slammed in

your face

and god said you should start praising

for that door closing

[Applause]

y’all don’t even know how to do that god

said you need to shout because the thing

that didn’t happen was the best thing

that you never had

i feel that thing right now

there’s some things that you’ve been

crying over that god said dry your tears

because you would have really been

crying if i let you have that

but there is a better yes ah

there’s a better yes

there’s a better yes in your future

and it might be disguised and wrapped in

a note but there’s a better yet

there’s a better yes

oh i feel that thing god said i’m not

denying you i’m setting you up for a

better yet

i haven’t forgot i got you carved in the

palm of my hand but there’s a better yet

i feel this thing is for me even the

church not being open yet

see i got to talk to myself right now

i have tried everything in my power

to get this building back open

and i have to believe

that this holy pause that god has had

on all of y’all being in this building

wasn’t because god doesn’t want this

place filled with people and praise and

worship

he said there’s something i’m setting

you up for

that’s a better yes than what you could

have done

[Music]

so father help all of us

not just get discouraged

while you’re still working

we thank you for the better yes

so we say yes lord

say yes lord

[Music]

from the bottom of my heart

to the depths of my soul

i say yes lord

completely yes

[Music]

my

soul my mind will and emotion says yes

i feel old right now but i say

yes sir

somebody needs to get that in your

spirit say yes

from the bottom from the bottom of my

heart

to the depths of my soul

i say yes lord

soul

says yes

somebody say my soul says yes

say

say my

soul some of y’all too young for this

but there’s a place that i don’t want to

do it but my mind will and emotion are

going to say yes somebody say my soul

says

[Music]

if your soul is going to say yes to

whatever god wants to do why don’t you

just clap your hands and give god a

shout out pray oh come on

make your soul say yes

yes god yes god even though i don’t feel

it yes god even though it doesn’t look

good yes god

my soul my mind my will my emotions i

say yes

god’s got a better yes but you got a

better yes too

there’s got to be a better yes in you

there’s got to be a better yes some of

us are doing what god’s saying gradually

but slow obedience is disobedience

and god says there’s a better yes

somebody say a better yes

i have a better yes in me

[Music]

i got a better yes in me

when he tells me to wake up early in the

morning and pray will there’s a better

yes in me

when he says go give to that person and

i can’t figure it out god said there’s a

better yes in you

so my

soul says yes yes

[Music]

today in front of everybody said my

soul

said yes

[Applause]

in

[Music]

just one more time

[Music]

if you got a better yes than you give

god one more

shot oh come on all over the world

wherever you’re watching this from

you might have to be quiet but something

on the inside of you is raising up

yes lord

come on put it in the chat say yes lord

say it out loud say yes lord

yes lord

yes lord

[Music]

the sign of real maturity

when you walk in your faith with god is

your yes gets quick

[Music]

some of us are still trying to say yes

for something god said to you three

years ago

[Music]

he gotta twist your arm and convince you

and put you in a headlock and

oh i guess i need to say but the sign

that you’re maturing

is when god just whispers something and

the yes is quick

i don’t understand it but yes

it doesn’t feel comfortable but yes

i don’t even know them like that but yes

my prayer as your pastor is that our yes

would get strong and fast

if god says for us to give

we say yes

if he says for us to stay

when we want to go

we say yes

when he tells you to shut up

when you have plenty to say

oh come on don’t don’t do me like that

well i got all the reasons why and god

said be quiet and you say yes

[Music]

that’s what i’m praying is happening

through this series that god is maturing

our yes

he’s saying walk in crazy faith and we

say yes

he says give the book to somebody else

stand and get and pray for somebody you

don’t know their whole situation fast

and i didn’t call the whole church to a

fast i told you to fast

and we will say

yes

you lord for a church that says yes

thank you lord for business owners that

say yes

thank you lord for students that in the

midst of what culture is telling them to

do in high school they will say yes

god’s calling you to do a bible study

every day at lunchtime

what will you say

at the workplace at the job

he wants you

i didn’t even study for that this is not

my career but he said but i got a

calling for you in this thing

will you say

yes

[Music]

my soul will say yes

my mind

my will

and my emotions

oh that last one

[Music]

well emotionally i don’t feel i don’t

have peace about it do you know

that you don’t have to emotionally have

peace to be obedient

i know that goes i know

well it’s not settled yet do you know

how many things i’ve had to step up and

do

knees shaken

[Music]

unsettled why because god’s not looking

for my feelings he’s looking for my

faith did he say it did he do my answer

will be

yes

somebody’s yes is getting stronger right

now amen

y’all sit down anybody ready for the

word today

amen

we are in week five

of a series we’re calling crazier faith

somebody say crazy of faith say it with

your chest say crazy or faith

and we have been walking um

systematically through things that

i told um one of my teammates that

helped me run the church this morning i

was like i

don’t want to preach a series that

sounds good and people can’t live out

i’m sick of ineffective church

i’m sick of people impressing you with

their knowledge and wisdom from the

platform and they’re like oh my god look

at them they’re amazing but you do not

know how to know how to go home and do

anything with what they talked about

and i’ve made a decision that i want to

have effective ministry

not just

impactful or big ministry

and and we’re at the place right now as

a church that god has exceeded all of

our expectations of what we thought

church would be in ministry would be and

all this other stuff and so now i’m at a

point it’s like what

is the vision for what god wants to do

and god’s like michael

help it work in people’s lives because

if literally 10 000 of y’all got the

concept of crazy faith and crazier faith

it would change everybody say the world

not just your family not just your my

crazy faith has changed

hundreds of thousands of people’s lives

because of one person believing

if one can put a thousand to flight

and two can put ten thousand to fl

that’s multiplication y’all i don’t know

how long it’s been since you’ve been in

a math class but one being a thousand

two being ten thousand something

multiplied what if we could get ten

thousand people

that ain’t even all y’all watching right

now that ain’t even all y’all on the

rebroadcast like but just ten i don’t

need everybody i don’t need the fans i

just need a few fighters

i just need about ten thousand of y’all

to really get these concepts

and so a part of this teaching has been

very very very very cheap code teaching

i want to give you the cheat codes to

faith

like i don’t want to get up here and

impress you i want to give you tools to

be able to go back to your sphere of

influence and live everybody shout live

in crazy faith

so today

i’m gonna attempt that in another form

and i feel like

i’m just done in the series the past

four messages

really was one message it was the intro

the last four weeks was the intro

i’ve had so much in the holster ready to

ch

but the holy spirit said but you can’t

give them that until you give them this

so we talked about our anointed

imagination we’ve talked about believing

for more than what we can see right now

we’ve talked about getting the the the

friends or the circle of faith we talked

about these different things but today i

want to take it to the next level and um

i think the the way that i want to start

this out is by a little story time

um

so

2020 was a challenging year for

everybody but um

it especially got a little wonky

when my father the captain tom todd aka

man of god

uh

he got a he got hit with covid like

for real

like

on a ventilator and like

like breathing treatments and all this

other stuff and my dad is my hero so

this is my first time in 34 years of

living that i saw my father in a

compromised position

and it messed with me

it was like

hold on

i could live on the earth and my daddy

not be here and like i know that

but it never was like

real

and

one day he started coughing really bad

and it just kept going and i just

couldn’t get that image out of my hand

and when when life

gets in the balance of people you love

you start reevaluating everything

[Applause]

so in 2020 i started reevaluating

everything this is not a sad story he’s

still living and he’s sitting here on

the front row i know some of y’all they

say that he he up he moving he good

okay

but but it gives backstory to what i’m

about to tell you

so um

what ended up happening was i really

started thinking about what would bless

my family and for father’s day i’m a

gift giver my dad’s a real generous

person and i learned that from him and

for father’s day me and natalie were

talking about like what could we give

my dad that would really bless him

and my dad never wants anything for

christmas he always says something

generic like i just want y’all to love

each other i was like they don’t sell

that at walmart

like like like and he always says stuff

like this but my dad is the biggest

family guy you could ever imagine like

he just loves bringing people together

and especially our family so um

me and natalie said what could we give

my dad for

father’s day and it is no secret that um

and i love being able to live

transparently in front of our church god

has for some reason chosen to bless me

and that personally through books and

through being an author i i could have

never seen this um but god has been so

gracious to us financially through

selling books um relationship goals they

told me in in basically a year and a

half has sold over 800 000 copies

y’all

i don’t even know

what that even means except they sent me

a couple checks that i

praise god for

and um

for some reason they told me that this

week crazy faith is third week on the

new york times bestseller book and i

just want to say thank you

cause it’s never been about it’s selling

book it’s just getting the messages out

like i want people to win in

relationships and all that other stuff

so in 2020 god blessed our family

financially and um and so instead of

going and buying a car that i saw or

buying something that that would be more

materialistic i was like i want to

create experiences so for

father’s day

we decided to take our entire family on

my wife’s side of the family and all of

my side of the family now if you don’t

have contacts i got five brothers and a

lot of them got wives and kids and i got

we took everybody on a trip out of the

country

okay

now that sounds great in theory

but we went on a family trip this past

weekend

and um it was 22 of us

that’s 22 flights

22 seats on the plane

that is a lot of

attitudes

a lot of different um

um

preferences

and we did it

i’m here to talk about it

and i need much prayer and counseling

after

this week

but when i went and i started to think

about taking 22 people to a different

country

the one thing that i did not fully plan

for is how much luggage

22 people required

in a different country

um

the number is 38 pieces

38 pieces of luggage

came on this darn trip with us

for four and a half five days

let me show them a picture of the family

um

happy together

and loving one another

look at us all at the beach it’s

beautiful isn’t it

let me show you a picture

of the luggage

just put it up

this

is one

of four vehicles

full

of luggage

38 pieces

now as i begin to examine my whole life

and why i decided to do this

i started to think

how 22 different people

brought 38 pieces of luggage

wheelchairs

baby strollers

backpacks

and all of them packed

for a journey they had not been on

because they had a vision of where we

were going

and there was 22 different visions

of what this trip would entail for them

and i could open up their luggage

and see what they had envisioned for a

journey they had not been on yet

and as i begin to look

at how valuable vision is i started to

think as i was putting all this luggage

in people’s room and by the end i was

throwing it in a room i didn’t care what

was in their thing i was like take your

luggage

if vision is valuable for vacation

how much more is vision valuable

for your victory

and i started to think about how

meticulous some of my family members

work

on the items they put in their luggage

because of the vision they had of their

family trip and let me be clear because

somebody thought i was gonna say

vacation it is not a vacation if your

kids come it is not a vacation if your

parents are there and if your other

parents is there it is a family trip

that’s just in my spirit

it’s only a vacation when it’s me and

that

my question today is

what is your vision for your marriage

what is your vision for your business

what is your vision for your ministry

what is your vision

for your finances

what is your vision for your children

not ethereal

not i have been thinking about that

hand it to me

in black and white ink

because it’s not a vision

until it’s written

so if i ask you today what is your

vision

for your health

most people have more vision for the

vacation they want to take

than having vision for the purpose that

will bring you into victory

so today

i want to talk to you about vision

because if we don’t understand how

valuable vision is for every part of

your life you will not be able to use

crazy faith for what you’ve been called

to do the only reason we’re standing in

this building today

is because i use my anointed imagination

in the presence of god and he gave me a

vision that watch only became a vision

when i wrote it down

today i’m pointing back to a document i

wrote 37 days after i became the lead

pastor of this church because that’s

when it had the ability to actually

happen in the earth

i just want to talk to the people who

have visions for vacations but don’t

have vision for their victory

proverbs 29 18 this gonna be tight and

right today

proverbs 29 18.

it the funny thing is right now some of

y’all are saving money for vacations

that are years away

some of you have planned for things

i know i’m in your business right now

some of you have a vision for inadequate

objects

that will be in your life this year and

out of it next but have no vision for

your emotional stability

you have no vision to getting counseling

and you know you’re jacked up

you have trauma after trauma but you

stand in line and wait on internet rooms

to buy clothes

but you won’t pay that money to

talk through the grief

that continues to weigh you down

you have a vision

for the house you want to live in

but no vision

for the house your body that you live in

every day

you tearing down walls

eroding foundations

oh y’all

[Laughter]

you let anybody touch this house

[Applause]

you let somebody slide in the dms

end you up on your

back and you don’t even know they last

night

he to do with the with the with the

charger

you only know his car type

you have more vision

for the outfit you gonna wear on your

birthday

[Music]

then you do for the kids that god

trusted you with

you won’t even do your homework with

them

they’re asking you for help

and you don’t even you haven’t taught

them one bible scripture

it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person

it just means you may

have not figured out the value

of vision

and there are so many people that look

like they have vision but they

i’m not even going

y’all not ready for it yet i got to

build you up to it because some of y’all

is already about to check out proverbs

29 18 cause i thought why the scripture

passed i’m like give me the bible let me

help your um bless itself

the only reason i feel so passionate

about this because i figured it out

i am the product

of living a life full of vision

and a lot of times i can pray for people

that will never get what i prayed for

them for

because they don’t have vision for

themselves

so i can’t agree for god to multiply

what isn’t there

there’s so many times that my prayers

can’t do nothing past what you believe

past what you’ve seen for yourself

i can pray it but it just hits the

ceiling comes back down because you

don’t even believe it you don’t even

think it’s possible for yourself and

that’s why i’m trying to raise your

expectation in this series and i want

everybody to get a vision somebody shot

at me vision

say it like you mean it

say vision

proverbs 29 18 king james version i’m

going to like four different

translations so this can ring in your

mind forever where there is

no

vision

the people

perish

it does not say where there is no vision

the people just don’t get all the things

that god had for them

they die

can i give you the michael living

translation let me remix this whole

thing without vision something dies that

god wanted to live

wow

where there’s no vision god was like man

i wanted something to live right there

man i wanted something to flourish right

there man i want to do but they wouldn’t

get a vision from me

so when there’s no vision

i command that to be a desolate place

where there’s no vision it won’t

flourish

where there’s no vision it cannot feed

others with life

i want you to think of every area in

your life

and ask yourself do i have vision there

i’m not talking about a dissertation of

16 points and all this stuff a written

down vision of what you want in that

area of your life what god has said

about you in that area what he said in

his word about that area of your life

get a

vision

without vision something dies that god

wanted to live

in other words this is what i see all

over the world many people are existing

but not living

if i look at the state of most people’s

life they’re in a state of existence

they’re not flourishing

they’re not joyful they’re not

overwhelmed with the goodness of god

they’re not they’re existing that is a

sure sign that there is an area where

there is no

vision

let’s go to proverbs 29 18 the english

standard version esv

where there is no prophetic vision

the people

cast off restraint

see i love this version of it because

prophetic means it’s telling something

in the future there’s something that i’m

not at yet but there’s a prophetic

vision a vision is something that is not

where i’m at but it’s up ahead and i

want everybody to know that in your life

there is a plan that god already has

that is up in your future i’m not there

yet but it looks good up there better

than it does right here

but if i don’t get an image of that

prophetic vision

i cast off restraint or let me remix it

this is a passage remix for you when you

don’t see it before you see it

people stop caring

i cast off restraint if you don’t see it

and get a vision of the prophetic future

before you get there you stop caring

about stuff

some of y’all do not care about

relationships that are around you

because you don’t know your future

those people are supposed to help you in

another season and you’re mean to them

right now

oh

so you stop caring well it don’t matter

if i forgive them they’re the linchpin

to the next thing that god wants to do

in your life but you have no prophetic

vision you don’t see nothing up ahead

and so you stop caring

there are so many areas of our life when

you find an area where you don’t care

it’s linked to what the vision is for

that area

uh-huh i’m trying to help you reverse

engineer this some of y’all do not care

about how you

work at your job

you don’t care no more you come in late

you steal stuff

it’s just paper clips you’re never going

to be a boss huh

i see right now that you you’ll never be

the one signing for everything

it’s just sharpies it’s just printing

and you printing out your vision

statement

because pastor mike told you to do it on

the company’s paper

well it’s for god

go buy a printer go to kinkos

see i’m getting down to the details

because it exposes

that you don’t have a prophetic vision

of stewardship

you don’t see yourself owning

and leading and doing things that god

has called you to do so you stop

caring

and

if you stop caring about it

that

means you get sloppy about how you

present what god has called you to do

and i just feel like we’re in the age of

the sloppiest christians in

history who stopped caring about what

your post may

do

to the kingdom

you don’t care

well this is how i feel

the very person you just offended

it was part of your destiny to reach

them

but because you don’t have a vision of

the future

you stop caring today

and the very people who muted you

the message that god was going to give

through you six weeks from now was going

to actually minister to them

because you don’t have a prophetic

vision of who god created you to be and

the level of strength you are in the

sphere of influence that he’s put you in

and that you may not have a big platform

but god gave you a platform to reach

people right where you are because you

do not have a prophetic vision you stop

caring

and god says this is why you need a

vision

look at it in the nlt version

[Music]

proverbs 29 18 when people do not accept

divine guidance they run wild

there are areas that is just wilding out

in your life

because you have not accepted the divine

guidance of god

just

just doing what you want to do

how you want to do it

and god’s saying um

let me just put it in a passage remix

if it’s not governed by the word it’s

going to be wild

if it’s not governed by the word

it’s gonna be wild

this is why for all my people still

searching in relationships like

if you do not allow the word of god to

govern your relationship

and y’all just living together and doing

married stuff together and making all

the things and doing all the things

you’re not a bad person

it makes logical sense

but because it’s not governed by the

word of god and what he said

what ends up happening is stuff just

starts going wild

now you actually finally get married

after seven years of playing house

and he don’t want you no more

it’s not the same why because you were

in a season living outside of the

submission to the word of god and now

you got what you thought you wanted but

there is no actual exclusivity because i

already had that

already been there and now i smell your

breath in the morning

and now i got to deal with your attitude

and your family and all that stuff i’m

just telling you it goes wild

when you don’t let the word govern your

life

i already came and amen myself a lot

before this service

so i don’t need anybody’s help i am

going to give you

what is going to help you

reach the vision in your life okay

let me give it to you in the last last

um message version and this one jacks me

up every time proverbs 29 18 the message

version

if people can’t see what god is doing

they stumble all over themselves

if you don’t get a vision to see what

god is doing

you are going to keep tripping

so the way i want to say this in the

passage remix is get vision

and stop tripping

a lot of the things you

is cause you didn’t clearly know where

you were supposed to step

you ever been somewhere and you

distracted by everything and you look at

that’s when you can make a mistake

it’s because you had no clear vision

and so today

i want to help everybody

get clearer vision i told you a couple

weeks ago about the frame of your faith

and like this this thing where you go

from imagination put it on the screen

real quick because i want everybody to

see this because i’m working a

progression all the way to christmas

we’re crazy until christmas by christmas

i pray oh that god ignites something on

the inside of you that changes you

forever but this is the progression we

go from imagination which is the

spiritual womb and then we cross over to

vision and that’s what we’re talking

about today it’s the receipt or the

evidence the of what’s to come

prophetically that god says then you

move over to hope and hope is the fuel

for your faith and then you move over to

the crazy faith believing god can do it

and then you move over to believing

beyond and that’s crazier faith a lot of

us are still way over here

in imagining what god could do

today i want you to take a big step

everybody say a big step

and i want us to step into vision

how do i know it’s a vision pastor mike

thank god for his word rebecca tutu

then the lord answered me and said

write

the vision

and make it plain on tablets

that he may run

who reads it

write this point down vision is not

valid until it’s written down

it’s not vision in your head

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

it’s still an imagination

it only becomes a vision

when it’s what written down

now i ask the question again

what’s your vision for your family

if it’s not written down

it’s your imagination

what’s your vision for your health

what’s your vision for your business

what’s your vision for your family

what’s your vision for your singleness

because without a vision for your

singleness guess what you gonna do run

wild

[Music]

cast off restraint stop caring

what’s your vision for your purity

what’s your vision for your friend group

what’s your vic ask somebody right now

what’s your vision

no ask him right now

and the crazy thing about this is why i

started off with the vacation if i told

you tomorrow that we were going to maui

you are automatically would have a

vision of what you was about to be doing

in maui how do i know cause you would

start preparing and packing based on

what your vision was

and what people have not done is started

preparing and packing based on what the

vision god has given them is

so um

write it down

get in prayer

and whatever god shows you what are you

gonna do

write it down

but i’m going to spend time specifically

praying this week

and when i get in there and i just put

on the top of the paper

family

i’m just going to literally put family

on the top of the paper

and i’m gonna ask god give me vision for

my family

not compared to somebody else uh oh

not not not in competition with these

idea

god

give me vision

for my health

i’ma tell the truth today

um january 6

i weighed

264 pounds

this year 2021

and i’ve always i’ve admitted it

publicly i’ve always had this like

teeter-totter see-saw relationship with

my weight if i’m feeling good i eat

if i’m feeling bad i eat

if if things is if things ain’t looking

good i eat

if things is going really really good

time to celebrate

leslie

like that was my only options like

it’s date night

eight

i’m alone in a time of solitude

like

god told me maybe seven years ago six

years ago

that the level of this ministry

would only be able to go to the level

that my body could take it

he gave me a vision of myself being

healthy

but i didn’t focus on it

so i stopped caring

and i was like as long as i can dress my

body

your boy be fat and fly

it don’t even matter

i’m gonna dress it right it might be a

couple mo but

when i stepped on that scale

in january

the conviction of god came over me

he said i gave you a vision

and you just gonna ignore it like this

what i want to do in your life for

transformation church and transformation

i gave you a vision

and you have literally ignored you’re

the heaviest you’ve ever been you’re the

most unhealthy that you’ve ever been and

you’re the most anointed that you’ve

ever been

oh you know you can be anointed and

unhealthy

oh did you know you could be on a big

platform and literally eroding the thing

that god told you to do

i said and this was the moment

i said god

i wrote down health on a piece of paper

i don’t know how to do this

will you help me

get healthy

and all i did was put a picture of

myself on somebody else’s body

see this is

see y’all trying to be so spiritual

i had to write the vision down this was

me making the vision plain

i found somebody who had the body

i needed to

have and i just put my smile because

this could stay

i put it on a different

and i literally wrote help me god

and over the course since january i

stepped on the scale this morning

i was 221 pounds i’ve lost 42 pounds

y’all

42 pounds

now watch

thank you

this is my first time wearing a shirt

without a you know saying i could turn

all the way around god bless you

guys

but what i’m saying to you is

this didn’t come because i imagined it

the reason that it started moving is

because i got a vision

and i’m going to tell you in a second

how that vision helped me all the way

through

but in every area of your life i’m

challenging you this week get a big

piece of paper

and write down the areas of your life

and ask god for

vision

rebecca 2 2 and the message version i

love this and god answered write this

write what you see that’s all god’s

asking you to do write what you see

write it

write it out in big

block letters

so that it can be read on the run

this vision message is a witness

pointing to what is coming

when you write

the vision down

it gives it permission

to actually come

what is coming is me being healthy

what is coming is my marriage

flourishing what is coming is me

actually in a marriage a shout out to my

single people what is coming is this

church being stronger than ever what is

coming is me not being addicted to

anything what if y’all don’t even hear

me

what is coming is me being able to bless

other people the way that god has

blessed me what is coming see when you

get a vision

it points to what

is coming

and for most of us

we don’t have a vision

see vision gives imagination permission

to exist on the earth

vision

when you write it down

gives what you saw in your imagination

permission to actually access the earth

i don’t know why god did this but after

he created for them six days

he decided he would do nothing else on

the earth without me and use help

me and use without our participation

now if i was god i’d be like they be

tripping

i tell them to do something they don’t

do it

i ask them to believe they don’t believe

so why in the world i’m waiting on them

and i’m all powerful

he says it makes more sense for me to

get glory if i use something that

doesn’t have the ability to make it

happen

and i partner with them

i use the foolish things to confound the

wise and i show a testimony through mike

todd’s life through amber lee’s life

through gary mcintosh’s life through

brenda’s life through lisa’s life

through roberta’s life i’mma use them

and god says i’ll do nothing on the

earth without one of my children

so he says take it from imagination

and bring it to vision

because when it gets written down on

paper now it has permission to actually

show up on the earth

i’m giving y’all cheat codes right now

and some of y’all are sitting there like

okay so what am i supposed to do write

it down

[Applause]

excuse me i don’t even know how

write it down

if god told you you would be

living in a different city

and your bills would be paid and you

would work at that job in that loan

write

it

down

and the crazy thing is y’all scared

i didn’t say scared squirt

you’re scared

that if you write it down

and it doesn’t happen

somehow god’s not good

or you don’t hear god

[Music]

i’m giving you the cheat code and you

scurve

and this is the thing you got to

understand and one thing i came to grips

with a long time ago number one i don’t

have to protect god’s reputation

some of y’all think y’all real strong

god was here before you

and he gonna be here after you

and kingdoms have risen and fallen and

the name of jesus is still being

proclaimed all over the earth

you cannot protect his reputation

so take that

off your back

and the other thing that you need to

understand

is that when you walk around scared it’s

the only thing that can limit god from

doing miracles

when you don’t believe

can i prove it to you in jesus life

he’s doing miracles all over

but he goes back to his hometown

and he literally like if i’m at my

hometown this is where i want to do the

most like i’m coming home it’s a

homecoming i want to bless my people

this is my people

and because they were familiar with him

ain’t that mary’s boy

we know they sisters and brother

they could not get over his humanity

so they missed his divinity

and literally the bible says and he left

there only doing a few miracles

because of the people’s unbelief

stop being scared and trying to protect

god

write

it

down practical example eight years ago

representing god to the lost and found

for transformation in christ was not a

thing

nobody was walking around with represent

merch

nobody was was writing represent on

walls and garages

i had a vision

that god gave me

now when i showed up in aruba with my

whole

family i seen somebody in a different

country

wearing a bootleg version

y’all missed it

so you thinking about the bootlegger all

that looks like they took something that

was in my head and that i wrote down and

it became a vision and i started saying

it out loud and printing it on jackets

and putting it on things and saying it

every sunday and now it’s in a different

country where somebody else has adopted

the vision

to their own lives

on a bad quality print

they didn’t care

because

the vision in me

the vision in you

ain’t just for you

what god’s placed on the inside of you

is not so that you

can be good

it’s so that others

can be able to know what’s possible

when you get a vision from god

so let me help you understand this

bring my luggage

i want everybody to look at every area

of your life

at every area

and i want you to see

if you look like you have vision

or if there’s actually vision in that

area of your life and this is super

practical and next week i’m taking you

to a whole nother level but i’m just

trying to build in the value of vision

because you don’t need crazy faith

for for a place that does not have

vision

the only reason that i had to believe

god is because god had given me a vision

for something and what i’m trying to

give you right now is the value of

having a vision in every area of your

life everybody say every area of my life

yeah

so when i look at

all this luggage i’m just trying to

recreate

what i experienced this past week with

my family

this is what it looked like us in the

lobby of that hotel

yep strollers

wheelchairs

duffel bags suitcases yeah bring the

wheelchair yup

that was a struggle um

yup kids

i asked myself several times whose kids

are these and four of them were mine

like it was just

it was a lot dinosaur bags all kinds of

stuff yes

this was ridiculous

and the crazy thing that i thought in

the picture i got in my head

is what if i prepared for the trip

what if i prepare i put everything on

we ready to go

oh my duffel bags

everything ready

let me get

let me get everything

ah come on

come on some of the luggage was faulty

too

[Laughter]

this is what i look like

personally coming off

the plane

but do you know

i spent

fifteen hundred dollars

paying for luggage to get to aruba

like

now

because of all the stuff that’s going on

they don’t let you have free luggage

like that goes under

you gotta pay 30 dollars a bag

and if it’s over a certain weight

it’s a 125

dollars

yeah almost cussed

do you know how frustrating it would

have been

to get to aruba

and open up

these suitcases

for them to be empty

this

is what most of our lives look like

that god says i’m ready to do something

with you and you look packed

and you you look ready

but until i open it up

that’s when i see it’s actually

vacant

and today

i just need to ask you

do you have vacant vision

everything that i have on

has nothing in it

my family

no vision

for my children

yeah

it looks good unicorns imagination all

this other stuff

no vision

every one of these suitcases

has nothing in them

this could be a picture of our church

family picture

vacant vision

that’s what i’m titling today’s message

because i do believe

that there is

a void

that has to be filled up

with vision from god

and if we don’t take this seriously

we end up wasting the faith that god

wants us to be able to have see when

everybody packs

i pack from here

i’m not in aruba packing

i’m packing in my current situation

see i don’t pack

for the season i’m in

i pack for the weather i’m going to

i don’t pack i’m trying to help somebody

get the importance of a vision i don’t

pack for the location i’m in i pack for

the location i’m going to i don’t pack

for the time zone i’m in i pack for the

time zone i’m going to i don’t pack for

the culture that is around me

i pack for the culture i’m going to i

don’t pack for this place

i pack for the prophetic vision

that god has given me

and my question to you is

why is the vision vacant

why is it empty

why when somebody asks you about what

god wants to do in the next two years of

your life you say stuff like i don’t

even think that far i don’t even

i got too much going up

hold on

vision is valuable

write this down in a point

vision is prepared from here

not there

i’m preparing

for what transformation is going to be

not from here

i am preparing

for the level i let me just say it right

now

part of the vision that god told me when

we started this church is that

transformation church would be

multi-ethnic

multi-generational multiplying and then

it’s this last one that been on my

nerves

multi-campus

i have fought that

with everything in my being

because he’s done the multi-generational

he’s done the multiplying he’s done the

multi-ethnic

but the multi-canvas do we really gotta

i like tulsa

i like right here

but god said i need you to start packing

right now

y’all missed it

i need you to start packing right now

for where i’m about to take you

so slowly but surely i came back and

told my team i was like y’all

get ready

we going into a different season

get ready

i gotta start

i gotta start preparing the teams

differently

we gotta start thinking differently we

gotta think outside the box

of just opening the building could the

prophetic pause that god put us in

be the very thing that we needed

to start getting ready

to see the next thing god’s saying fill

it up wherever it’s vacant

wherever there’s nothing

wherever you have not gotten a prophetic

vision somebody say fill it up

[Music]

i may not even use it in the next season

but i will be caught

with more than enough

but not enough y’all don’t hear me

we may not

we may not see i need to stop yelling

but somebody say fill it up

this

is prophetically what your life should

look like in this next season

i’m going to the rack of revelation

whatever you want

i’m going to bring it before you

in intercession

and god i’m gonna fill the places of my

life

with the vision that you give i’m gonna

fill my kids life

with vision of who they can be in the

future

i’m not gonna let them sit here and deal

with the same devils i dealt with all my

life

they gonna have a different vision i’m

i’m prophetically i’m doing this but

this is what’s about to start happening

i’m not gonna stay here and deal with

these traumas and never be delivered and

then what i don’t

actually confront gets passed on no

devil we are about to actually do

something about this what should happen

is that wherever you have vacant vision

should get so filled up

that when it comes time to close it

see when i really pack

you don’t just close it

hold on but then god you say what

oh see so some of y’all y’all got the

vision six years ago

and you thought he was done speaking

but god’s saying to you i got more for

you

you heard one part of it

you saw one part of the journey

but i got something else for you that i

want to do about your business about

your family about your emotional health

about your spiritual health about you

about your

forgiveness

all that weight you’ve been carrying

around

some of y’all need to trade out some

stuff in your luggage right now you

actually need to make room for the

vision of god you’ve been carrying

people and things that have been

hindering your vision

when you get god’s vision in there

some of y’all

are gonna need help

being able

to carry all the things

that god has placed in you you know why

we have such a great team at tc

because the vision

that god has given me

is bigger than what i can carry by

myself

[Applause]

see any smart person would come and say

just get another bag

and and i would if i had somebody

willing

to carry it

but many of us

do everything we can with our own vision

because we haven’t found anybody else

that’s willing to actually carry their

part of the vision too

yeah

yeah yeah

it’s one of those things that i’ve i’ve

been sitting here and um

i’ve been reflecting on how good god has

been to give me people

to link arms with

who are visions aligned

like he told them something in

california

but told me something in tulsa

and told them something in colorado and

told them something up the street but we

never met before and god’s linking

people to be able to carry vision

together because it’s bigger than me and

it’s bigger than we it is what god wants

to do in the earth right now and he’s

looking for people

who would actually

get vision write it down

and be willing to say

the area of my finances is vacant

but god will you fill it up somebody say

fill me up

say it again fill me

hold up brent come sit on this with me

bro

this

is what having the right people in your

circle looks like

this is last week’s message

it’s having a circle of faith because

can you use it from that side okay use

it from that side hold on get in front

get in front brent get in front because

now i’ll put my whole body weight on it

because

okay and you you close it up okay you

got it okay cool

it looks the same

it looks exactly the same

as it did when it was empty

but until you uh there’s some weight on

it

there’s some weight when you get a

vision from god i can say it and you can

say it but when you put something

there’s some weight on it and what god

is saying is that he wants you to get a

vision

[Applause]

so that his weight or his glory

can be a part of your life

we had one bag on this trip

the the limit was 55 pounds

there was one bag on this trip that my

beautiful wonderful amazing wife packed

that was 82 pounds

it cost me 230 dollars

going

and coming back

but what she said to me messed me up

it was all gia’s stuff our new baby

she said michael

everything in that bag

is essential

and when she now i don’t know all the

little the little cleaning products and

all of the little things and the zippies

and the wrappers and the different but

it was heavy as hell

it’s heavy

but when she looked at me because she

packed the bag

and she had a clear vision of our baby

at the beach

and our baby in a hotel room without all

of the amenities she had a clear she had

put herself in a different country

sitting in our bedroom

and she knew when she said that to me

everything in there is essential

i said here’s my card woman swipe the

thing take the bag

why

because the vision that she had brought

clarity to how everybody else responded

to it

[Music]

[Applause]

some of you have been dealing with stuff

because you had no clarity to the vision

you’re having conversations about stuff

that you’re not even supposed to be

talking about right now

because there’s no clarity to the vision

let me just finish

my wife what she did is what i’m asking

everybody to do

see it before you see it

this week put on a blindfold

or close your eyes

i just gotta go extreme

and i put on a blindfold

and then i just start calling out areas

of my life where am i

spiritually

a year and a half from now

see it before you see it

where do you work a year from now

how much money is in the bank a year

from now

who are you helping a year from now

scratch that it ain’t even got to be a

year from now it can be a month from now

what are you doing about your health

next week

see it before you see it

when you start walking like this i

promise you if you make space

god will give you a vision

if you make space

god will give you a vision who are you

serving

how are you making a difference

who is being helped by the words god

gives to you

where are you sharing your testimony see

it

you’re riddled with anxiety right now

you would never share what’s going on

but see yourself standing up boldly and

confidently

saying you know what yeah i used to be

on every pill that was imaginable for

six years i could not go into social

settings without having a drink and

afterwards i needed a week to like see

yourself telling your testimony

see it

see yourself

standing up in front of your family

saying i forgive all of you

i have been holding

a grudge

and a burden against all of you for the

past nine years

and today my christmas present to all of

you

is to let you know that i’ve released

you of the dead

i love you

i believe in you and i want to start a

better relationship with you from here

right now that for somebody that

literally makes your stomach turn

but see it

see it before it happens

this

is

what vision

is

it is being able to see what god has in

the future

before you ever see it

in your present

i didn’t say sight

because sight is what i see with my eyes

open

but vision

is what i see with my eyes closed

this week

set aside time

and see

what god has for you

in the future and then make it a vision

and do what write it

down

first corinthians 2 9.

that is what the scripture means when

they say no i

has seen

no ear has heard

and no mind has imagined what god has

prepared

for those who love it’s already prepared

why don’t you just ask god to show you

it’s not like there’s some conjuring

that you have to do and some dance and

some perfect he asked me

ask me for vision

and i’ll give it to you

this is why i am so out of time but i

got to give somebody this so that we can

go write it down six advantages to

vision just write it down and i’m just

going to go through them cause this is

going to be the key number one advantage

to vision vision gives energy

some of you

are so

lethargic about everything because you

don’t have a vision

at the moment you get a vision

something comes into you

i can tell you i can be dead tired

sleep

and i get a melody or i hear something

in my mind i do music and i’ll hear

something my entire but i don’t need

coffee at that moment

i don’t need evan tony y’all know what

i’m talking about you get son it’ll be

three o’clock in the morning and my body

will say hold on i got a vision of what

song this could be i got a vision of how

that i will um song that we sing today

we were literally playing that in the

studio just going through some things

and i heard that

and i said oh play that back

and literally in that moment i literally

started saying i will and i started

knocking on the door of the the studio

and i mean we were dead tired that was

like one or two in the morning it was

i came alive

because i saw that song being ministered

on this platform

and this morning

they’re singing a song that was

imagination

and went to vision

because we started writing down the

words and we started marking down the

thing

and it gave me energy you need energy

to work out get a vision of yourself

healthy

you need an i don’t you need energy to

actually go to the

counseling because your marriage is on

the rocks right now

look at all of the couples that you’ve

been fantasizing for

and get that out of your mind and ask

god

who

are me

and charles supposed to be together who

are me

and latavia supposed to be together who

and let god give you a vision

me standing up here with my wife at

version one conference

hand in hand

was a vision god gave me

before we were engaged

that’s why we went through all the hell

we went through

it’s because it gave me energy

to actually do what was hard

because i had a vision vision gives

energy number two vision eliminates

excuses

when you get a vision excuses become

irrelevant

i do tons of stuff i don’t like doing

because of the vision that god’s given

me can i be hot with y’all humble open

and transparent

i don’t like studying to preach every

sunday

it is tedious work for me

i start on wednesday

to get to sunday and i’m working on

thursday and on friday and on saturday

and i’m tweaking up until 30 minutes

before service on sunday

every week

i hate it

but i will do it for the rest of my life

why

because of the vision

god has given me

i don’t have an excuse when god gives me

vision

[Music]

and this is why your excuses are louder

than your production

it’s because you don’t have a vision

but let’s eliminate excuses by doing

what getting a vision three

this is the advantages of vision vision

regulates who

or what you entertain

there are certain people i don’t even

fool with

because you would mess up the vision

god’s given me

you have no parameters

on who can take from your life and

deposit into your life because you don’t

have a vision for your life

that’s why you’ve been in 19

relationships in the past three years

it’s because you don’t have even a

vision of the person you want to be with

regulate

by getting a

vision

these are the advantage number four

vision illuminates exits

when you get a vision

you know

when to exit

you see that big old sign

this is what i see when i walk into

situations

do i need to go into this and and and

keep going or do i need to walk in be

like you know god bless y’all straight

to the exit

[Applause]

and some of us

stay in places and around things too

long

because we do not have a vision and

until you get a vision you don’t know if

this is an opportunity or an assignment

do you know what has happened as i’ve

gotten a vision my no and my yes have

become very clear

[Applause]

there are things y’all that would have

changed my my family’s life

that have been opportunities in the past

two years that i have clearly said no to

because it did not align with the vision

god gave me

and most of us are looking for

opportunities instead of assignments and

god says when you get a vision it

illuminates exits i have a friend who

wherever we go

the first thing he does he’s a six on

the enneagram the first thing he does is

find out where all the exits are

and i’m like bro you paranoid but what i

started to figure out when i talked to

him he is a little paranoid but what i

started to figure out when i talk to him

is that he’s always preparing for if

something happens

and i started to think about it and when

i looked at it

it says when crisis comes

if

you start running into things

if you have not

figured out where the exits are you

literally run into things instead of

running out of things

when

when chaos comes we run into wrong

relationships

we run into the things that we’re not

supposed to be in

and god’s saying i want you to know

where the exits are

so that you can have clear vision

and be able to walk out of stuff you’re

not supposed to be in number five vision

frustrates the enemy

when you get clear vision the enemy gets

frustrated

and this is why the enemy’s whole job is

to steal kill and destroy maybe your

vision

that’s why it didn’t work last time so

you don’t trust this time

and god’s saying but i came that you

might have life bring life back to the

vision

last one

vision produces endurance

when you get a vision

it’ll make you last

it’ll make you believe when nothing

seems

like it’s going the right way

i’m going to show you in scripture with

our example jesus and then we’re going

home

hebrews 12 2.

how do we do this how do we get a vision

and endure

we do this by keeping our eyes on

jesus

the champion that’s what we’re saying

today

who initiates

and perfects our what faith

we keep our eyes on jesus the champion

who initiates and perfects i love that

that he initiates he’ll give you a

vision

and then he’ll perfect it

initiates and perfects our faith because

of the joy awaiting him watch this this

is a live example of jesus enduring

because he had a vision because of the

joy awaiting him

he endured

the cross

disregarding its shame it didn’t matter

how much it hurt and how embarrassing it

was

now he is seated in the place of honor

beside god’s throne

god

in human form named jesus had a vision

of himself seated

next to god

and that made him endure all the crap he

had to go through

if you get a vision

it’ll make you endure every bit of crap

and in a generation that quits so

quickly

we talk about persecution we think

persecution is in the comments

ain’t no persecution in the comments

persecution is what’s happening to the

people in afghanistan when they say the

name of jesus and somebody’s getting

killed persecution is what’s happening

in these other countries persecution in

the comments

god said you’ll really be able to endure

when you get a vision

the things i’ve had to endure in this

last season of my life

i’ve only been able to last

because i had a vision

stand up all over the place at your

house

today

i wanted to challenge every area in your

life that has vacant vision

this is not one you listen to and then

just come back next week

you have homework

you got homework

and guess what you’re responsible for

what you heard

don’t be complaining to god god i’m just

waiting on you i’m gonna wait on you he

said i told you what to do

[Music]

i told you what to do

get a vision

write it down and make it plain

so it can be read and then this is the

key to all of it

let god refine the vision

as he sees fit

well this is what i wrote down

i wrote down that i was going to impact

the world through music when i was 15

years old

i wrote it like that was the vision i’m

gonna impact the whole world through

music

and god said can i refine that

you’re gonna impact the whole world

but it’s gonna be through preaching

first

i didn’t i didn’t see that in my vision

but you gave me something to work with

you wrote down the part that you saw

you wrote down the thing that

illuminated in your heart

and because you obeyed my word

now i can refine it

and tweak it

and cross out things

and illuminate them all i’m saying is

you can do something this week

to start moving in crazier faith

hands lifted i want to pray for you

every service i feel an anointing to

impart

like i don’t want to just pray like

these are things i’m teaching from that

god has allowed me to master and to

really live out

and today i’m going to pray that that

that courage and boldness to write down

what god says

would jump off on everybody that would

have the spirit to receive it hands

lifted come on somebody’s about to get

this right now

father in the name of jesus whoo

i thank you

that vision is coming alive in your

people ah

would impart father god from your word

what you make available to every one of

your children i speak

to actually have monica what if we get

the vision for what the kids

area is supposed to do for

transformation kids all over the world

not here in tulsa but i’m talking about

transformation kids in india and dubai

and out y’all see i’m i’m not playing

with people with little things what if

we get a vision

of what

multi-generational ministry looks like

bishop gary

and we can talk to pastors all over the

world

to show them how to transition and work

together what if we get a vision

for a church

that doesn’t just get resources off a

tithing offering

but we have a business model

that changes the economics of a city

y’all

that we can build our own communities

and we can build our own grocery stores

y’all don’t oh my god see i gotta get

around people with faith cause when i

start getting a vision

most people

told me that where we are today was

impossible

but i had

i had

[Applause]

can i prove it

it was written down

i stand

[Music]

in

the vision

that god gave me

god wants every person

to be able to stand in a different

season

and say god

did this

i can’t take credit

for what was impossible in one season

but today

i can look at everybody around the world

and say it’s only crazy

until it happens

so

from now on

next week

you should have vision

in areas of your life

that right now are vacant

you’re not bad god said just ask me

ask me for vision

and i’ll give it generously without

finding fault in you

so our prayer all week

is this simple song

it just says fill me up say

fill me up

[Music]

until i

oh

[Music]

there’s something right there

said it fill me

with vision for the future god until i

vision for where i serve

vision for my company my family my

business my health

[Music]

[Applause]

somebody needs vision

for eternity

see the crazy thing is we can be praying

for vision for all this stuff and it’s

temporal

but the reason that jesus sent

uh god sent jesus to the cross was so

that we could give a prophetic vision

of eternity

that we could be singing holy holy holy

around the throne

and worshiping god all day

i don’t know about you but i i’ve

envisioned my mansion in heaven and the

streets paved with gold y’all got to

read your bible it’s it get really good

in the future for us

but to see that vision

there’s something you need to do you got

to ask jesus to come in and be your

savior and your lord

[Music]

and today i’m telling you it’s the

greatest decision i ever made

it took me from being somebody who was a

liar a manipulator somebody who was

addicted to pornography somebody who was

a really bad person on the inside

not because i just wanted to be but it

was the sin nature of the world we live

in things came in i adapted them i grew

them i i let them let them control my

focus

and god said can i give you a new vision

of what i see in you

[Music]

and when i accepted jesus as my personal

lord and savior according to romans 10 9

i just confess that he was the who he

said he was and i believe he lived and

he died for me it said at that moment by

grace through

faith

by grace not works not effort not energy

by grace through

faith

i was saved

my eternity was secure

and today

i just believe there’s tons of people

that are watching who want to get a

vision for their life here but this is

temporary

the bible says it’s like a vapor it’s

like it’s it’s this quick

but for the rest of eternity get a

vision

of you worshiping god

and being in that great cloud of

witnesses

that group of people

who are part of the the the cheering

section of faith for everybody else

god says he wants to write your name in

the lamb’s book of life

on account of three if you want to make

jesus christ your personal lord and

savior and get a vision of yourself free

get a vision of yourself not burdened

down by all the things that have been

trying to trap you

i want you to lift your hands

it’s going to change your life forever

and not just yours but your family’s

life one you’re making the greatest

decision of your life two i’m so proud

of you but more than that god is going

to write your name oh he’s going to do

what

he’s going to make it a vision for your

young

i’m preaching this thing right now it

says he writes the your name in the

lamb’s book of life

[Music]

three if you want to make the decision

for jesus lift your hands all over the

world

their hands in this building

i see you

i see you

there are people online you can put your

hands down

i’m so proud of you

what you’re gonna do

is just ask god to fill you up

that’s it

and at transformation church we say this

prayer all together for the benefit of

those who are coming to christ we’re a

family here

and people

32 000 plus people have made this

decision this year

oh that’s something we can

i said 32 000 people have made the

decision that you’re about to make this

year

of this is something to be proud of

[Music]

and watch what god gives you after you
