In celebration of 25 years as a ministry and 9 years under the guidance of Pastors Mike & Natalie Todd, we reflect on the impact of a single Word from God. From Bishop Gary’s directive to “Reverse the Curse” in North Tulsa, birthing Transformation Church, to Pastor Mike’s revelation that “The Spirit Bank Event Center would be Transformation Church,” guiding our acquisition of our current space, we are reminded of the power of God’s Word in shaping our future when we believe it in faith. As we embrace our 2024 Word of the Year, “FRUIT,” we anticipate it to be the catalyst for an amazing year ahead.

[Music]
well we have been in a
series called Stark sharp has anybody
been blessed by the messages that has
come through this series okay um this is
a little different um pace for me than I
usually do because I usually give y’all
the word of the year right at the top of
the year but this is why it’s good that
you go back and ask God what he wants
you to do because I was about to run the
same play and the Holy Spirit said no
they need to Value what you’re going to
say so you need to teach for a month
about how to start sharp and then today
I’m going to give you the word of the
year now I I need everybody to
understand what this means this is not a
um marketing
campaign come on the word of the year at
Transformation Church is not a um uh a
cool idea to get people engaged in
church at the top of the year yeah come
on um this is a pattern that is
biblical that allows people to
understand and gather around a word that
God speaks most people don’t do this
because they’re trying to protect God’s
reputation come on and he’s never needed
you to protect his
reputation so so so for me to get up
here and stand and say I went and sought
the Lord and he gave me a word I believe
it’s a corporate word for our church and
time will prove if I heard from the
Lord most people don’t want that type of
pressure but I was built for
it
and we have
proof that every time the Lord has
spoken a word in this house for the last
nine years true when we get to the end
of the year we be like that was
God you I even tell you during the
pandemic we we got up here and I yelled
and screamed at the word is
stronger stronger God’s going to make us
stronger 6 weeks later we were shut
down and I said I know I miss God maybe
the word should have been little
closed
done but the truth of the matter was is
that by the end of the
year from all the pivoting and planning
and changing and transforming and
revisioning we had to do by the end of
the year we were stronger
truth so today I’m going to release this
word to you at the end of the message
you know I can’t tell you right now cuz
your attention span is this can’t tell
you
yet um but people have traveled from all
over the word to world to be here and I
just want to say I’m
honored that you would come and the
these words that we speak from this
platform are are leading and guiding
your life I am honored I’m humbled I am
am sober to think that God would trust
us to speak with
him and um so today I’ve been carrying
this like a
baby like it’s it’s changed the way I’ve
walked it’s changed the way I’ve planned
I’ve been I’ve been trying to lead y’all
and i’ I’ve almost let it out at least
19 times after I say the word you going
to go back to messages and find me
saying it in other messages and my eyes
going like this by myself
cuz when you’re carrying something that
you know is going to transform people’s
lives you want to get it to
them and so
today we are gathering around this word
because watch this Transformation Church
knows the value of a
word let me tell you a story let me let
let me bring it up cuz some of y’all we
went to deep right now he’s like dang he
G to be deep all day let’s bring it up
this year I was out of town in an
undisclosed City visiting a friend
and um I learned the value and the power
of a
word now some people’s words don’t
matter let’s be honest there are certain
people in your life that can talk it
don’t move
you they can scream they can yell and
even be like that’s just
them but then there’s other people’s
words that they have to use their words
very
carefully because when they use they
words stuff start just
shifting well I was about to leave this
city and I was with a couple of people
in this room and I got word that a
person who’s done a lot of significant
things in the world that everybody would
know if I called their
name I got word he wanted to meet
me and I said
okay um we about to
leave and then they said the word again
and that changed the plan
see a word from the right
person can change your
plan a word from the right person watch
this it can change your
access on we pulled up to something we
drove by earlier to just look at and we
were escorted into it because of a word
I’m just trying to make sure you know
the value of a word
because of that word that this person
spoke it expanded my
world in 3
hours no no no no y’all don’t understand
what I’m saying it literally changed the
fabric of my brain what I got to see
yeah change my world because of a okay
so I’m sitting with this person in their
home mind
you two hours later I mean 2 hours
earlier I’m on my way to
Chick-fil-A 2 hours later yeah I’m in
the home of this person who has a
powerful
word and and that person is very
perceptive so they started um noticing
that I was checking my phone and texting
a lot and all this and and the person
asked what time is your flight cuz we
were in a different city and Natalie
don’t play about when Daddy needs to be
home
so I was I was checking I was he said
when is your flight I said uh in about
15
minutes but the words he was speaking
the gems he was dropping was too
valuable good to leave that moment where
he was speaking these
words and so I had made it up in my mind
and the people that were with me is like
if we got to take a train if we got to
get a Grey Hound if we got to catch a
red eye we’re we’re not messing up this
moment and at that
moment out of his almost
annoyance because we were distracted
when he was
speaking he picked up a cellular device
that looks similar to the one I
have except I couldn’t do with my cell
phone what he did with his cell
phone slow with no
hesitation anent
or uh um any type
of
intimidation he picks up the phone and
says hey
Jack where’s the
airplane yeah yeah oh I’m GL okay I have
some friends here that need to get to
Tulsa this
afternoon yeah yeah yeah fly the jet
here and pick them up all right I’ll
talk to you
soon
[Applause]
y’all did you just call
somebody I mean I’m on the American app
I’m on the Delta app like I’m trying to
find if I can get a
1039 out of
D68 but at his
word great somebody who was sitting at
home had to put on
clothes yeah yeah fuel up a plane that
was in another
city bring it to where we were at come
on to then take us to where we needed to
be based on one man’s word if a man that
lives on this
Earth has power like that in his
words why in the world would I sit here
and act like the god of the universe
don’t have all power in his
word all I need is a word from
God great wow and many of us have a
catalog of words from God and still no
[Applause]
obedience and his word word stars of
still in
place at his word seed open
up at his
word Giants
fall at his word dead people get up out
of grave y’all don’t I said at his
word and you still worried about rent
come
on great I’m not saying your situation
is in inv valid I’m saying many of the
problems that we deal with are because
we did not obey
[Applause]
his and so now the enemy has you
preoccupied in things that you’re not
supposed to even be worried about cuz
the word he gave you six years ago to
write the book you’ve still disobeyed
because you didn’t graduate from that
class but all I need
is just
one
today I want to title this message what
happens with the
word go what happens with the cuz this
is the story of my
life all I do is get a word from God and
I don’t let up off of
it Pastor Mike is not special I just
stay with his word
longer good that’s it yeah like the
things that God’s told me they are
crazy but I just choose to believe
it and I will not let up until he tells
me watch this that ain’t the word for
you no more good great you missed it not
until he confirms the word again and
again I grab on to the word if he says
it once sir and he never has to say it
again I’mma keep rocking that word until
he tell me Mike get up off that word you
missed me that wasn’t it for you and
many of us need 19
confirmations 17
proclamations and four prophetic
utterances no no no for real God would
you just confirm it God would you just
confirm it God would you just confirm
it how many more times does he have to
tell you get out of that
relationship you walking around with a
black eye
High still asking God on
now I just stepped onto something I felt
the whole room
go I didn’t know the way of how to
Pastor lead a family lead an organ I
didn’t know I had
a great and I just came to encourage
somebody if God has given you a word you
have all you need everything else you
get when you walk in that
way God is not going to pack you up with
everything you need to fulfill the word
when you’re at the starting
line he’s asking you to walk in the
direction of the word he gave and you
will get everything that you need
everybody say on the way on the
way somebody like Pastor Mike I need you
to philosophically and scripturally
break down what a word is a word is
three fold to me and I’m about to give
you the cheat code okay I’m going unpack
this what is a word first off it’s a
person yes John 1:1 in the beginning was
the word and the Word was with God and
matter of fact the Word was God you need
a word at Salvation you get it great
great I need a word I go to the word
some of y’all running gole and Facebook
and Instagram and Tik Tok for a word oh
let me let me share this with you oh
somebody said something so powerful
somebody said something I’m that’s great
yeah but if you go to the guru instead
of
God for a word for your life you have me
from the
beginning it was God so what is a word
everybody say a person a person number
two a word is
printed MH you need a word from God read
your
[Applause]
Bible you see how like everyone’s like
oh that thing that’s holding up my
coffee
table the thing I bought for Aesthetics
instead of
anointing oh no I need this white Bible
and I need the okay you got the Bible
but it’s it’s displayed but not
displayed great great w you want a word
yeah it’s printed yeah yeah yeah it’s a
love letter to you it’s instruction to
you it will be here after you and it was
here way before you great great and so
many times I want to just dispel this
because people build manipulative
Ministries off the fact that they
convince you that the only way that you
can get a word is from them okay I know
I just stepped on some people’s
nonprofits but what I want to tell
you is that God does not
need a person to speak to you if you
have the ears to hear what he’s trying
to illuminate to you in the printed word
of I can’t tell you how many times the
people around me did not know what God
was telling me to do yeah yeah yeah on
but I I found myself in the
word and it spoke directly directly
prophetically and
precisely to what I was going through
some of you don’t need another church
service you need time and a
highlighter okay let me let me stop I
love that what is the word it’s a person
everybody say person it’s God what is
the word it’s printed last one and this
is the one I want to camp out on because
this is where I get the philosophy of
having the word of the year for our
church a word of the year is watch this
personal so God is the
word his words are Act in the earth and
I’ll just give you a scripture cuz I
know some of y’all like where’s the
scripture for that Isaiah 48 the grass
withers and the flowers will
fall but the word of our God
endures okay but then sometimes for all
of us that knows that God still
speaks he flexes on us through the Holy
Spirit and he gives us words that are
everybody say personal personal there
have been times where nobody could have
known what I was going through and
nobody could have been able to
articulate what the season up ahead was
going to be and God would send some
random woman some random man some random
person is like oh my God God just showed
me you one of them is here today I have
to honor her my my godmother prophetes
Pam Vanetta sitting right over there in
the green you look beautiful now now now
let me let me tell y’all why this makes
sense because I’m sitting in a prophetic
word she spoke over my life
yeah yeah yeah yeah me and that I told
this story before was out here doing
stuff we Wen supposed to be
doing
came late for church one day came in
holding hands and as soon as we came
into church messing around the night
before acting a fool asking God to wash
us on the way into the door y’all know
how you sin and prepared to prepared
your whole repentance
speech living that double mind lukewarm
life okay can I just be honest about
where I was at it ain’t always been like
this we humble open and transparent and
some of y’all just got comfortable cuz
that’s what you did yesterday welcome
home what I’m telling
you what I’m telling you is I was doing
that we walk in and Prophet Pam is on
the stage in the middle of service
you’re supposed to be preaching woman of
God and we walk in Michael and Aly come
[Laughter]
here I know I got ghosted I know my
whole Spirit jumped out of my body I
said we getting exposed
today I knew I was about to get caught
out I I was holding Natalie’s hand she
said get off me like
what she didn’t want me to touch her I
said you was saying that last night I
said what I’m saying to you baby I’m
sorry I I didn’t I didn’t check with you
before I said um bring it up in counsil
on Thursday uh
[Applause]
and this woman of God brings us up to
the front and she says personal word
that’s what I’m talking about yeah she
said wow you’ve known this for a long
time but you’re going to preach the
gospel I see crowds of people I see
you’re not going to be relocated to
youth ministry there’s going to be young
and old and you’re going to use humor
and irony and you’re going to bring
people from all over the world and I’m
thinking this woman lost
huh my at this I’ve never spoken a
message I’m living in
sin but there was a personal word yes
sir so good that did not speak to my
presence come on yeah yeah yeah yeah it
spoke to my
future and I just want to let you know
that there are words that God will give
you in season for years for seasons of
your life that will speak to you
somebody shout at me future future now
watch this write this definition down a
personal word is a personal prophetic
picture of God’s Preferred Future for
you so so I I want to make it clear what
she saw was accurate from God what I did
after I heard the word determine would
it actually happen great great cuz I see
so many people talking about I got a
word from God but your word is stale cuz
you’re never going to
obey and that’s why I want to to draw
attention to a personal prophetic
picture of God’s
Preferred Future for you and what I
found out in my life when God gives a
word like the word of the year I’m about
to tell you in a few
moments the word of God watch this can
be a catalyst or a container
right it can be a what Catalyst or a
am cameraman follow me real
quick I found out that many people treat
the word of God like this
trampoline what y’all why y’all oooing
an eye y’all seen this 40ft trampoline
in
here I got a
word
I got a word went to Transformation
Church a day and
boy what a word I’m touching
it thank you Lord for my
word thank you Lord for the word y’all
look at my
word look what God has given
me big old
word an expansive word I’m sitting on my
word
but the
potential for this word to actually take
me
higher is based on what I do after I get
it and most people when they get a word
from God it’s not a catalyst to take
them
higher it’s something that becomes
pressure that they get
under oh you wouldn’t expecting the
example to go
here but most of us God gives us a word
and When God Says jump with it it
contains
us be
everything how many
years will I not reach what the word was
supposed to
do I’m trying to stand up on this word
but for some reason the word is so vast
and I’m thinking about how unequipped I
am and how much team I don’t have and
how many how many people have left me
before and so now I’m under the
word just out here obeying
God trying to trying to get this word
off the
ground trying to get this business
off and what people become is
discouraged and
tired but what would happen if we
crawled up from under
the word that God has given us and we
actually believed it was
true and it no longer was a
container but it
became a
catalyst this is a complete different
[Applause]
experience I will believe what the word
has said and what he said over my life
and some of y’all are scared sced cuz
you’ve never jumped that high
before you would rather me get on a word
of God and sit on
it I know y’all can see me so this is
the word that God’s giv me when God said
if you would put your weight on
it if you would put your faith on it it
could go from something that merely is
something that can hold you
up and this is the thing most people
they get a word from God and they do
this woo look at
that nowhere
sir no
anointing you can do this in your own
strength I could do that on the
ground I I could do this but to I’ve
never been able to dunk in my
life but if you give
me this
trampoline 10 ft 12 feet you could take
that mug up to
14 I
would I would because what’s not
possible for
me without a
word it’s possible when I have a word
from God it’s time for you to stand on
the word word of God and this is the
thing it takes action from
here on why I was telling you last week
to get fit to
finish is cuz I can’t even think about
doing this
example three years
ago I was too fat to finish this
example I said it you can like it’s okay
I said it he like oh my okay um
what I’m saying is God is speaking words
to
us and we’re okay with just being around
it but it’s time for
you to start not just standing on
it I’mma write the vision I’m I’mma tell
people about it I’m I’mma be known for
it it don’t even have to actually happen
tomorrow but I’m going have faith for it
I’m actually going to build my stamina
I’m actually going to do something with
so you miss but what would happen if
everybody started flipping on the things
that God told them to do what if we
started getting hyped we would be like a
city on the hill Oh we would be able to
be
[Applause]
seen y’all was scared that I would fall
but all right this man falls seven times
and he gets back y’all better stop y’all
stop and this is why it’s important you
have friends with
faith cuz as high as I could jump by
myself if I called bentam up here and I
called Charles up here and I called
Travis up here and we started jumping
and I want to do it so bad but the
lawyers told me not
to
how high I jumped
alone would be
exponentially
increased because of who jumped with
me thank you for being with us for the
last nine years but if you don’t have
faith to stand on God’s word I don’t
need you in this next season I only need
people who going to have faith where are
the people that are going to have faith
to stand on what God has told them
somebody shout just one word
word come on Pastor come on just one
word Miss
twia just one word de Mario yes sir
somebody say just one word just one word
yeah that’s it that’s it
hallelu GL what can a word from God do
change everything yes sir great great
Hallelujah just one word Delo
[Music]
and this is all I’m asking you to do is
believe what he tells you enough to put
your weight on It come on
man I could have done that whole example
and sat
down and at the end of my life would
have had so much potential but no
purpose actually
reached
my God what are you trying to say a
personal word from God always requires
action to be
activated you don’t believe the word
until you do
[Music]
something hear what I’m saying God tells
you to
give a certain amount of money to a
person you don’t believe that word until
you
actually do
it and so many people think that they’re
obeying God at
thought you just missed it I heard you
Lord that’s when my kids hear me and
don’t do what I tell them to do it’s
more frustrating yes yes than when like
I would have rather you not heard me
right but as a church and a society we
have gotten this thing I hear you Lord I
hear you lord lord I you’re it’s clear
it’s clear he says so do
it stand on it talk to them believe for
it and so I’m going just tell you what
we do real quick whenever you get a word
the first thing I need you to do is what
receive
it cuz somebody can give you a word and
you can reject
it and the Bible tells us sometimes you
need to reject it there are some people
that gave me words I said
the Lord is going to have to pick a
different vessel cuz you uh-uh cuz the
spirit says you can test this by the
spirit but there are many things that
God’s saying and you are denying it
because of your
personality wow you’re denying it
because of your type of communication
style you’re denying it because nobody
in your family’s ever done anything like
this he said I can change all those
things but I need you everybody say
receive it receive it and and can I say
it like this this is how I felt to say
it to you you’re worthy of hearing a
word from
God so many people have felt like
they’ve disqualified themselves that
they need to be perfect to hear from God
but when I look at the Bible God speaks
to people who he’s
perfecting not who are
perfect and you deserve to hear from God
and and and and put your weight on it
and see that thing become a catalyst in
your life so the first thing we do with
a word from God is what receive it the
second thing we do write
it I tell people all the time people
come to me with plans now all the time
cuz we generously give to organizations
and churches and stuff and they be
acting like it’s my
money so they come to me Pastor Mike I
got this great idea and da D it’s like
first off I don’t have the money for
that second off it’s an idea not a
vision until it’s on black and white
paper I don’t listen to
ideas cuz I can come up with a thousand
IDE right now I can come up with good
ideas bad ideas indifferent ideas come
on right now if somebody is like what
you want to do after church how many
ideas could we get in this room yeah
yeah
yeah but God does not recognize what
what he’s saying to to you in idea form
he recognizes it when it’s written down
that’s hebecca tells us what to write
the vision and make it plain but see
this takes Faith as well because when
you write it and make it plain he’s
telling you why he said because I’m
going to send other people to run with
you that’s it and they need you won’t
have time to explain to
them all of the foundational principles
of why you did what you did so you got
write it down so they can read it while
you’re on the
run so we receive it then we do what
write
it I I thought about it this the other
day like this jacket right here says
represent on the back of it there’s one
of my favorite jackets that we’ve ever
gotten made and it has the vision and
all the church anniversary stuff on it
but I remember that the vision of this
church to put represent on the back of
the jacket and to put the vision right
here I went to Forever
21 before I did the vision message and I
found a printer and I paid for the first
ever represent jacket wow and I still
have it it’s too big thank
God but I uh I believe so much in this
Vision that I wanted to write it down
not in a conventional way I wanted to
wear it and I have video proof of me on
stages I never qualified to be on from
London to elevation Church to I’ve been
all over the world wearing the same
jacket all the clips you saw and stuff
I’m wearing the same jacket different
colors with the vision on it cuz I
believed in what God Said when nobody
else did so good today I’m telling you
there’s some things that God has given
you a word on that will seem normal in a
different season that seem absurd right
now
wow for me to put represent on anything
it’s going to sell out yes today with
the with the with the word spelled
wrong on the merch somebody’s going to
be like this is my opportunity I’mma buy
it but when I first did it I couldn’t
pay nobody to wear
it cuz nobody believed in the word
except the one who gave it to
me and I came to encourage somebody
before I give you this word I know God’s
given us I want you to value a word
good and the reason I know that most of
us don’t value a word from God is cuz we
don’t value our word to
ourselves you you you can’t even value
the word of the god you don’t see cuz
you will tell somebody I’ll be there at
600 and won’t get there till
6:45 you don’t believe your
word okay I I got to get up I felt a
fence rising up right there well tell
some somebody to pray for them but you
won’t love your
enemy you don’t believe your own
word but when God gives a word we
receive it say receive it receive it
write it number three work
it it it if you don’t work the
word it will not produce what it was
sent to
produce every cake is just inred
that’s
good have you ever had her upside down
oh my God that cake was the same flour
sugar until somebody put their hands on
it and did what
[Music]
work I’m going to work the word I’m I’m
saying
like what are the things God told you to
do that you have not worked yet yeah
great there are some areas of my life
that God said Michael I’ve spoke to you
on that I’m going to expose myself okay
cuz some of y’all don’t get it until
like I tell you like real life examples
I’ve always been musical always been
Musical that same woman prophesied over
me when I was a day old that I’d be able
to master many instruments and I
mastered
one and I got I got I got
complacent I I got enough compliments
cuz I could kill the
drums I I got enough I got enough money
I got enough accolades I got enough it
was like I don’t need anymore and God
said the word was you would Master many
instruments but you stopped at the one
that everybody clapped
for so now you’re valuing their
word over my word okay all right I’m
just trying to I’m just trying to
encourage you and so this year I’ve
already told my wife and said the budget
that I have to go take piano
lessons now now you’re saying yes but
that’s frustrating to
me only because I’m going to start piano
back at
beginner and I’m going to have to be
humble
enough to not be good
anymore there will be nobody clapping
for me when I’m
going oh the finger
and I’m going to want to
win I want I’m going to want to do
that can I be honest I’m going to be I
want to make a track I’mma want to turn
it into a beat and God
said and my daughter is in there talking
about play Mary Had a Little Lamb just
sit down go to
bed but will
you work what God
said somebody shout at me work it work
it receive it receive it write it it
work it work it James 2:26 for for as
the body is without the spirit is dead
so faith without without works is what
it’s
deceased but that means Faith with
works is a lie next one speak it
everybody say speak it speak it many of
the Visions God’s given you you got it
all the way down to the work it stage
but you won’t tell
nobody and I found out my help comes
when I tell other people what God’s
doing in my
life okay Proverbs 18:21 the tongue has
power of life and death and those who
love it will eat its fruit that’s going
to be important five refine it
great we receive it write it work it
speak it
ref the version that God gave me may
have
revisions and if I only hear God one
time and spend time with him one time
and never go back to him I may be off by
the time it’s time to see what he
said this is why I have a pattern
of
withdrawing and getting with
God so that he can say yeah you heard me
in
part no no you’re going the right way
but get in this
Lane if you don’t allow God to refine
the vision he’s given you it usually
ends up not what he wanted in the first
place so what do we do with vision
receive it receive what’s the next one
write it
work and the crazy thing is some of
y’all not even writing this
down the crazy thing as a pastor I am
giving you the cheat code right now and
you’re just looking at me and then
you’re going to go home and ask God for
a
word and you sat here for two and a half
hours receive it write it work it speak
it refine it last one rehearse it
I keep playing it back yeah great the
spirit Bank Event Center will be
Transformation Church sir the spirit
Bank Event Center will be Transformation
Church did y’all know we don’t have a
building yet but the spirit Bank Event
Center will be Transformation Church
when they tried to take me to go see
Kmarts I’m not playing Tammy no they was

us it’s under contract but God told me

spirit Bank Event Center will be
Transformation
Church stop bringing me buildings with
Kmarts buildings with Kmart stop
bringing me
Kmarts I rehearsed it I broke into this
building and took a picture yes
sir and I kept it as my screen saver so
every time that I looked at my phone
don’t forget what God said that’s great
man and the crazy thing about it is I’m
I’m
I don’t want this for the
church I want this for your
life I don’t I don’t want I don’t want
us to be a part of a church that sees
God do miraculous things and in your
everyday life you do not see it but it
may be because you don’t really
believe a
word all right that’s
it receive it write it work it help me
speak it refine it rehearse it and then
you’ll see
it I am standing
in over and over that process there was
a old Buster rhyme song that blessed
me called touch it now I know we’re
talking about a touch from God okay uh I
don’t know if anybody all y’all ain’t
been saved all your life but I think
this would help you Tony can you um just
play that beat for me real quick could

long I love you I love all right go
ahead receive it write it work it speak
it refine it rehearse it then you’ll see
all
right
okay I’m giving you the
Playbook somebody say just one word just
one word
2015 God gave us a word when bishop and
Pastor Debbie handed us the Baton yeah
let me tell you what it was it was a
silent word it was a word to me and
Natalie
survive sometimes the word ain’t
sexy I feel you sometimes sometimes when
God says something he just says all
right we about to go into a season and
all I need you to do is make it out the
other side it don’t matter how hard it
was how how many ever been in a survived
season come on just let’s be
honest that’s not
demonic okay yes a survived season is
not de demonic it usually is
created to take things away from you
that can’t go with you in the next
season so 2015 the prophetic word that
God gave this church was what surv 2016
the prophetic word that he gave us put
it up on the screen
maintain that’s two words of
horriable how much Vision do you get out
of that yeah how are y’all just get
ready I got a word from God
maintain not forward not backwards the
same but sometime God wants to teach you
faithfulness so 2017 God said all right
I’m going to give you a word that got
that got some faith in it for you to
move forward and the word for 2017 was
beyond said I’m going to take you beyond
where you’ve been and Beyond maintaining
was a
blessing and the church grew 400 people
yeah and and I think about $400,000 came
into our income three years in taking
over for another Pastor there’s people
coming and God said go beyond and people
start giving I was on cloud a
thousand cuz I thought God had done what
he
said I thought that’s what was it if we
would have stayed at Beyond level for
the next 20 years I would have said God
you’ve done so much but in 2018 he he
gave us a prophetic word that looked
countercultural he said I want you to
stride I want you to stop running and I
want you to walk great and in a season
of momentum for you to tell me to walk
to do less to cancel stuff that doesn’t
make sense but what I found out is
everything in the kingdom of God is
reversed when God wants to expand
something he pulls it back
and so that’s 2018 when all y’all found
us yeah yeah yeah oh don’t act like you
knew about Transformation Church before
before the videos start going viral
nobody knew about us we had we had a few
subscribers on
YouTube my mom and her friends was
watching the the the the rebroadcast
nobody was checking for us but God said
because you obeyed my
word I’m going to put you in every place
I want you to be to this day we have
never ever cut up one of those videos
that went viral I didn’t have the team
staff or volunteer base to do it yeah we
just obeyed a
word in 2019 God said this is the year
of
release and we said oh God we releasing
we releasing everywhere we releasing we
be released into everything and you know
what God did to me he called me off the
road my wife was
struggling as we were
navigating our son having autism and I
had been called to speak at every major
conference and they was going to pay me
to be there and the Holy Spirit told me
in June he said cancel every engagement
from June until
January I said Lord are you are you okay
real quick me and
you are you sure that you know how that
impacts our family he said I’m keenly
aware that’s why I’m telling you cancel
it all and I was talking about
money and he was talking about health
good good good I’m just being hot
canceled
everything but it was in the season that
I obeyed God to
cancel that this building came
available I would have been on the road
Jesus preaching for somebody else no
good
at the moment when at 9:00 they went
into the meeting to close on the
building and at 9:15 they called us and
said do you still want the building and
at that moment me Bri and Tammy got in
the car and came over from North Tulsa
and drove over I would I couldn’t have
told them in two days I’ll be home cuz
two days later they had all the money
they needed
again but because I was where God told
me because I obeyed the word that he
gave me when he wanted to bless bless me
I was in watch this word
position most of us are missing what God
has for us not because we don’t have a
good plan it’s we are out of
[Music]
position and he said the word of the
year was what release he released this
building to us I thought it was us being
released to the
world 2020 he said stronger and I told
you what happened the world shut down
and he made us stronger 2021 guess what
the word was
anchored and I just was telling
everybody God’s going to Anchor
us it’s going to be just a special just
hold on to his word do you know why he
said
anchor cuz he knew the spit was about to
hit the
fan see I’m telling y’all these words
are not just
ideas he said anchor to to the vision
anchor to my word anchor to the people
who are called to this cuz I’m about to
send you into a
storm and I’mma send you into a 2year
storm but I’m such a God full of grace
that I gave you a word before I sent you
Into the Storm I told you this was the
year you needed to be
anchored and I said okay Lord we’re
anchored what’s the word for the next
year here is holy my first message to
give Vision was spit hits the fan 7 days
later I announced the word of the year
and it’s almost like the Holy Spirit was
laughing at me he was like I told you
here is Holy you’re right where I want
you to be broken
confused
humbled
angry I want you right here cuz I want
you to know what I do from this point
was not
you this wasn’t your planning this is
wasn’t your effort this will only be
your obedience and I don’t want you to
despise the season I want you to call it
what I call it it’s
holy good so every time you about to
respond back and go a hater message and
find somebody and have them knocked
off he said I want you to remember I
gave you a word before it ever
happened
and then
2023 he gave us a word he said this year
is going to be a word that’s going to be
Beyond you this word is about the entire
Kingdom and God gave us action with all
of that last year we gave away over $5.2
million to build churches all I said we
gave away over
52
million these weren’t back scratching
like oh one day when we needed hit me
back like God said give it away cuz this
is not about Transformation Church it’s
about my
kingdom so when I say that when God
gives a word in this
house what can God do with a word he can
do
everything so this year I’m going give
you the word of the Year y’all ready oh
y’all didn’t sound ready maybe I need to
preach for 15 more
minutes I went on sabatical
and usually like I’m I’m actually like
praying and seeking hard fasting no no
food no nothing and the Holy Spirit it
was almost like it’s like bro I done put
you through a lot the past two
years I’m going give you a layup on this
one July 3rd 7:13 a.m. the Holy Spirit
wakes me up and he simply says I wrote
it in my phone he said this will be the
year of well just show us
[Music]
[Applause]
2024 is the year of everybody shout it
with me
fruit standing all over the
[Applause]
building he said Michael this year you
won’t have to talk about it you’ll have
proof
he said and I want every person under
the sound of my voice to understand that
this year is not going to be about what
we can make happen it’s about sewing the
seeds that
produce Matthew 7:16 you will know
[Music]
them I don’t care if they know us by
marketing I don’t care if they know us
by Instagram clicks I don’t know I don’t
care if they know us by viral moments I
don’t care nothing about about that yeah
yeah I want you to know this church and
this ministry by
what I have so many messages
prepared to make this the most fruitful
year of your
life but hold on stop before we before
you’ve gotten words
before and they were just like that
trampoline are you going to stand on top
of this word and put your weight on it
cuz I know there’s some people like uh
okay fruit that’s underwhelming I
thought it was going to be something
like
no cuz it’s not my word it’s a word from
God and if you would put your faith
weight on
this I’m telling you by the time we get
here next year this will be the most
[Music]

seeds speaking life into the same people

sweet what God has produced on the
inside of you Transformation Church I’m
telling you there is not enough seats in
this place for the level of fruit we’re
going into the field and we about to get
every person y’all better hear me right
now we about to get God did not give us
this Arena to have it half full he gave

[Music]
fruit shout at me fruit fruit next week
we’re starting a series called fresh
fruit and I don’t we going to be in it
until the Lord tells me not to
be but I promise you you going to Value
what God is going to do in your
life I’m asking you to not use this word
as a
suggestion make it a
catalyst not a container every time you
walk into the grocery store store go by
the fruit
aisle pick up a grape well no never mind
buy the grape buy the grape buy the
great the Lord is still working on us
all I’m just I’m just saying watch how
many places fruit starts to show up in
your life and I want you to take it as a
prophetic sign God speaking to my
Preferred
Future lift your hands all over this
room
God I thank you that today I didn’t come
to be
spectacular I came to be
evidence God I pray that people would
see through your
word the word that is you the word that
is printed and the word that has been
personal in my life that they can
believe
you God let them take you at your word
and I thank you God that faith is being
sparked up everywhere around this
world God I thank you that you gave the
word fruit for Transformation Church and
we’re going to see it we’re going to
live it we’re going to give it away and
they will taste and
see that our lord is
good father let this word be a catalyst
for how we live how we give how we share
how we understand what you’re doing in
our lives and I pray father God for
every household represented
that there would be so much fruit that
they could not keep it to themselves God
I’m thanking you that the fruit would
overflow in our lives that we would be
ones to be the blessers and not just
need the
blessing we receive the word somebody
say we receive the word receive the word
and we will work the
word I obeyed you God thank you that
this will be the year of much fruit in
Jesus name if you believe it by faith
will you clap your hands and give God a
shout oh for the fruit you’re going to
see at the end of the year let’s give
God real
quick the fruit of the Harvest today is
that somebody give their life to Jesus
but so before everybody runs out that
parking lot’s going to be there
listen if there’s any person under the
sound of my voice who has never accepted
Jesus Christ today I want to
start by giving you an opportunity to
see more fruit in your life than you’ve
ever seen
before this decision took me from being
a liar a manipulator addicted to
pornography I had a whole bunch of bad
stuff in my heart and it did not make me
a perfect man but it made me a
progressing man a man that now can look
around and see the fruit of me following
Jesus I want to offer that to you if
you’re tired of doing it your own way
and you want to see the fruit of Jesus
coming in your life and making all
things new like we sang earlier
today at the count of three I just want
you to lift your hands I’m not going to
make you come up here and tell us
everything you do and
did religion tries to put that weight on
you I hope that sometime you get in
community and find a small group and
able to share those things cuz that’s
where healing comes but Salvation comes
in your confession and your belief right
here so if you want to accept Jesus
Christ I don’t care who you are who you
came with God has appointed this moment
to give you this word today is the day
of
salvation and if you want to accept
Jesus just slip your hand in the air one
you’re making the greatest decision of
your life I see you my brother two I’m
proud of you but more than that your
name is going to be written in the
Lamb’s Book of Life three just shoot it
up I see Transformation Church this is
the fruit of 25 years of ministry I see
you and more than I see you God sees
you hey at Transformation Church nobody
prays alone lift your hands everybody
and say God God thank you thank you for
sending Jesus sending Jesus just for me
