Vision Is Most Valuable // Vision Sunday 2026 // Pastor Michael Todd

Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

the lost and found for transformation in Christ. We're so

glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe

God will transform your life. Do today's message?

So are you ready for vision?

Nah?

Y'all an, I said, are you ready for vision?

Get your Bibles out, get your notepads, your smartphones, your

dumb phones, your AI translators, your metaglasses, get everything ready

because today I'm gonna give you vision. I want you

to write this down. Vision is most valuable. People many

times think that that money is more valuable than vision,

because right now, if I told you, hey, I'll give

you the vision for your next ten years, or I'll

give you a million dollars, most people would take the

million dollars. And the crazy thing about that is when

you take the million dollars, you don't know what to

do with it.

You have no vision for that money.

And we have been duped in this culture to think

that something we can hold is more valuable than something

that we hold, something that we hold, and that's why

a lot of times we give away our wealth and

value because we do not understand how priceless and valuable.

Vision is but I just want you to say it

with me.

Vision is most valuable. What do you need to get a.

Vision of It is not the time, It is not

the resources. It's you don't have a clear picture of

who you want to be. You do not have a

clear picture of who God's called you to be. You

do not have a clear picture, and so what happens

is you get a whole bunch of distractions and suggestions

on what you should be.

That's why some people they change their hair every two.

Weeks because you see something on Instagram and like, well,

maybe I would look good with the blind, or maybe

I would look good with the short, or maybe I

would look good with the They got men out here

putting on two pay pieces.

Have y'all seen that yet? I'm not talking about I'm

talking about the whole. Like the whole.

I got some brothers saying chill out, I'll see you.

And what I'm saying is no hate because in my

stuff going, I'm going to Turkey. But what I'm telling

you right now, some of y'all know what I'm talking about.

But the truth of the matter is you look better ball.

But right now, there are some people that they keep

looking to try to find identity and other things. And

the reason why it's so easy to try to become

everything else is because you don't know who you are.

And most people live their whole life trying to fit

into a version that will be acceptable to a many

group of people. When God says I called you to

be one of one, do you have that vision on

the inside of Today? I came to talk to some

one of one's. I came to talk to some people

who know that God made you uniquely different on purpose,

that God did not mess up with you, that he

used all of his creativity to create only one of you.

And you will not stop just because you might not

be entrend right now, Okay, let me stop, because if

you go with the trend, you will end up sacrificing

what God's called you to. And today I have to

give you visions so that you can stand on ten

toes down what God has called you two.

That's why vision is most valuable, and the.

Reason I have to get up here and share it

a year after year is because I want to tell

you a truth about vision. Vision leaks anytime you tell

have you ever told your kid what to do? And

they forget every morning. How on the where you forget

every morning?

Huh? Have you ever worked with somebody or worked for.

Somebody and you tell them what to do?

This is the vision. We come in, we smile, we

say hello, and.

Then you come in and they frowning and you're like, hey,

do you not remember? It's because many times when you

give a standard, if the standard is not rehearsed, repeated

and regurgitated, it starts to mutate.

Yeah.

The reason why I have to talk about vision all

the time in this church is because the vision cannot

get diluted. Because God is doing great things in us.

People are missing the blessed, sir, because they're handling the

blessings the very thing you pray for now. Has you

not praying the very thing that you believe for now?

Is the reason why you're not doing the thing God

told you to do. This is where I'm telling you

we have to stay on vision, and so today I

want you to open up your heart to be able

to receive because Proverbs twenty nine eighteen tells us where

there is no vision, where there is no prophetic word,

where there is no glimpse into the.

Future, the Bible says the people perish.

Death is on the other side of living a life

of distraction.

Where is the thing.

That you still doing that he told you to do

five years ago? Real question, what are you still doing

today that he told you a decade ago? What are

you still doing today? I know economies have changed, I

know people have changed, but his word didn't. Are you

still doing what he said to do? And this is

another translation that says, where there is no vision, people

stop caring. And I don't know about you, but we

look like we live in a generation where people don't

care if people are taken care of. It's like we

live in a generation they don't care if people know

Jesus or not. It's like we live in a generation

that doesn't care if we actually show the characteristics of Christ.

As long as we go to church. It means that

it's exposing that we probably have a lack of Somebody

say vision. So today I'm gonna take you on a

journey to give you what I believe is for truths

about vision.

And I'm gonna give them to you right here. Bob, Bob, Bob.

Okay, this is what you need to know about vision.

And this is not something I'm testing out. This has

proven over many years of my life, and I want

to give it to you after I have lived this.

Okay for truths.

About vision Number one, Vision needs a vessel. There is

no vision that God will give that He does not

give to a vessel. And somebody needs to say, by faith,

I'm that vessel. Come on, say it with faith, I'm

that vessel. Could God trust you with an idea? Somebody

else saying yeah, but you won't even write it down.

No, I want you think about it. Vision needs a vessel.

There are things that could change your life. The Bible

says that God gives us the ability to produce.

Well, he could give you one idea that ring camera.

Y'all seen that the doorbell.

That has a camera attached to it. One God believed

in this vision took it on the shark tank. This

thing blew. How many people in this room or watching

online have a ring camera some type of ring device.

It was bought for billions of dollars by another company.

This man's one idea and execution and implementation of something

that people told him would not work has changed the

life of not just him and his family, It's changed.

All of our life. We can see if people steal

in our packages.

We can be in Dubai and be like, right out,

get out of here.

You understand what I'm saying, Like you could tell if.

Your kids are home or not. My rings just went on.

It has changed watch the fabric of how people live

because there was an idea trusted with somebody who did

not need committee agreement to execute, and most of us

we want everybody to agree when God gives vision. I

bet Noah felt crazy out there day after day building

the ark, and they.

Had never seen rain in his area.

It ain't just a big boat, it's there's no rain.

Where's the water coming from? Noah. They probably made fun

of him, They probably talked about him. He probably was

the butt of a lot of jokes until it.

Was drip, drop, drip, drip of the drop.

And when the rain started coming, everybody's like, no Eh, I.

Hope you can swim. No vision needs a fessel.

Will you be a vessel that God can drop vision into?

Can he trust you with it? Because our God is

all powerful, all knowing, but he chooses not to do

anything on this earth without the participation of one of

his creations.

God just change it. Through you. God, just heal it

through you. God, just meet this financial need through you.

That's why your business needs to be blessed.

But you can't become greedy because God saying, I'm trying

to get something to the earth, but I need to

do it through you. Vision needs a somebody say, by

faith one more time, I'm that vessel.

Get ready for vision. Sleep with a notepad next to

your bed.

Get your voice recorder on your home screen so you

can be ready to capture the song, capture the note,

capture the thing, be ready to create, because what we

are is professional catchers. When God drops vision, all you

got to do is say, where's it coming from? Where

is it coming from? And many of us are trying

to discover what God will give if you're ready, You're

trying to bite off of somebody else's five ways to

create a million dollars, and God will say, I'll give

you exactly what you need, but will you come into

My presence. That's why I'm so glad that this church

honors twenty one days of prayer and fasting, and today

we're on day seven of being in this time of fasting,

praying two times a day, praying all throughout the day, pushing.

Away our plate.

Why, because this is the environment that vision comes clearly.

If you haven't joined us.

On this fast, I'm telling you day eight eight is

the number of new beginnings.

I may start all my fast on day eight from now.

On, But what I'm saying to you is this is.

The season where you start.

Why because you want clear vision? But if God gives it,

will you be the vessel that just doesn't know it

but acts on it? Because faith without words is what Dad?

How much vision is rotting in you? How many people

have ever said I had an idea like that, watching

the news, watching all this other stuff.

Man, he stole my idea. No, he executed on me.

He didn't steal nothing from you. You was never gonna

do it. God gave you an opportunity. But you said, well,

I don't know anybody who makes that, and I'm not

even in this field, and I don't even know how

to cook.

How could I da?

Da?

Dad? And God said, why.

Are you putting all of the limitations on what I

have dropped in you? The limitations are for you to

surpass so that you can become who you don't know

you are.

Right now, if you would just take a step of faith,

if you.

Would just move outside of your comfort zone. Your mama

didn't have to do it, your daddy didn't have to

do it. Nobody around you have.

Had to do it.

If you would trust me, I'll do the impossible through you.

Right, But vision needs a what vessel today?

I believe the Holy Spirit is looking around the whole

earth and saying, do I find somebody, Do I find

a vessel with faith that can believe that what's impossible

right now could be in their hand in another season.

Point number two, vision must be visible. It's not real.

If it's not written, it's not real. All I got

all these plans in my head, they're not real. That

that that The Bible gives us clarity in Rebekah to

Too when he tells us watch this, and God answered,

write this, write what you see, Write it out in

big block letters.

Make it big so that it can be read on

the run.

God said, I want your vision to be written out

to where other people who are not going to be

a part of it can see what God's about to

do in your life.

Well, I just don't. I don't I don't want to.

I don't want to tell nobody.

Because what if it don't happen, then we grow What

if it don't God does needs you to be his

pr manager. He's never needed your defense. He is God

being God will be God even after all of this

stuff goes down. And a lot of times some of

us are saying that we're trying to save God's and

save faith for God. But it is actually our fear

that lead us. We say, lead me on. Usually it's

our fear we're following. And today I'm coming to challenge

you switch into your faith.

Write it down. Who you gonna be at the end

of this year.

Write it down. What is God gonna do in your family?

Write it down, what is God going to heal in

your mind and your spirit? Write it That is not

real if it is not written. It needs to be big,

like billboard big. I thought about this the other day.

Does anybody know how big the billboards are that we

drive by on the highway Because I started to think

about it because I ain't never seen a billboard in

real life, like off the highway. They just always on

the big pole in the middle of the things. And

it's crazy because I thought about that as I was

driving on the Highway. This week I thought about this

scripture because it says write it down in big block

letters so that it can be read on the run.

The only reason that you can read what's on a billboard.

Is because of how big it is.

People can read Sharon Williams going seventy five miles an hour.

That has to be a big size. Does anybody for

real know how big a billboard?

What you think it is huge? That's not a number.

Well I found out it's fifteen feet by fifty feet.

This is the size of an average billboard. Now, I

just want everybody to see me standing next to a billboard.

This is what's usually on the highway.

Look how big this has to be for people to

be able.

To see it from a far off.

Your life has to say I will live healthy on

a big billboard, so people who are far off can

be able to see.

Look at that. I can do a whole dance up here.

I can waive that people from far off and they

can't hear what I'm saying, but they can see what

I've written down. Follow Jesus. I can say that all

day but in the car fun But what's written will

be the thing that people who are far off cannot

just read. They can decide if they want to run

with it too. And the thing about this scripture that

gets me excited is when you actually take your vision

and write it down, it proves that you believe that

it's going to move somewhere other than that paper.

Because it's said write the.

Vision down, make it plain so that it can be

read on The running requires movement, and it also requires

In this scripture, it infers that somebody else is coming

alongside of you to run with you, and some of

you I believe that there's divine partnerships coming to your

twenty twenty six, that things.

And people you've been believing for it.

This ain't for everybody, but for everybody who has faith

to believe it, you can grab it. I'm believing that

God is bringing people who are going to run with

the missing pieces that you need. But how will they

know what it is if you do not write it down.

The most spiritual act that many of you could do

this year is actually take some time, set that phone on,

do not disturb, turn the music off, pray and ask

God what am I supposed to do?

And write down whatever you think you here?

Well, what if I know if it's got write down

what you think you here, well God, I need to

know it's from God.

Just write down what you think. God is good and

he will confirm it.

I've had people come out of nowhere and be like,

I don't know why I'm saying this to you, but

God's just I just woke up and I just saw this, this.

Thing and it would be the exact thing that I

was praying about.

And they don't know, and as they feel nervous and weird,

and I don't know, but I just need to say

this to you, And.

I'm like, I know exactly why you said that. Thank

you for old man. God.

God knows how to confirm his word, but does he

have anything to confirm it too? Write the vision because

vision must be visible. Okay, so number one, vision needs

a vessel.

The second one is vision must be visible. Third one,

here we go.

Vision must be vast. It's got to be big. It's

got to be bigger than what you're thinking right now.

It's an idea if you can do it by yourself,

but it's as if you need God's help.

This is how I wrote it down. Vision must be.

Bad if God doesn't need to show up. I need

to shut it down. It's not a vision if God don't.

Need to show up. Y'all didn't hear what I just said.

Some of y'all trying to play it so safe and

make everything look like a win, and make everything look

like I'm just progressing from glory to glory, from faith

to faith, and God is saying, you ain't gone nowhere.

You just turning circles every year, acting like it's a

new thing. That's just a different angle of the same thing.

What I want you to do is move into what

I have for you, and until you actually get to

the point where you say, God, this is too little,

this is too small. Why am I believing just for

this little house to be paid off? I'm believing to

get his house away God. Why am I believing just

for this thing to touch this many people? God, I

wanted to touch the world. And I know what I'm

fighting through. I'm fighting through a lot of disappointment right now.

Let me acknowledge it. I'm fighting through a lot of

people who have been on the other side of trying before.

But that fall made you fearful, and you still got

a scar from a time you tried. But it didn't

work out, and I'm saying, in twenty twenty six, I

believe that God has given you unique strength, grace, and

power to try again.

Say it.

I'm gonna try again because standing here being frustrated is

just producing more doubt in you.

Circle after circle after circle of.

The same thing, and God says, bigger, more outside of

your own capability. This is scary for me because I've

always been a dreamer. My imagination has been unlocked since childbirth.

I've always been able.

To see on the other side of doors, and I'm

gonna figure out how to pick the lock and get

in there. I'm the kid that you showed me one thing.

I'm like, well, does it do this too? And I'll

be done. Took it apart and put it on the

other side. My parents will vouch for me. I never

had limits in my mind. My mind was always able

to ask and go further. And so when God says vast,

I'm like, are you sure? Because vast for me seems

kind of dangerous. This feels scary what I'm thinking, This

feels outside of the Norman God said, I made you

just like that on purpose, because you would be the

one to lead others into it.

So I needed to.

Be bigger than you because it's got to fit more

than you. He said, there are others that have to

come into this vision. And I said, okay, God, I'm

gonna take the limits off of you and y'all the

vision that God has given.

Me for this church. You think we've done anything in

the last ten years. You have not seen.

Anything yet, I'm telling you as sure as I'm standing here.

And it's okay because I stood here, not here, but

I stood on a platform twelve years ago in front

of three hundred people that didn't believe the majority of

people under the sound of my voice after passad Debbie

and McIntosh and his beautiful husband.

What did I just say? I was trying to.

Do it when the Magatisha has made me the pastor,

God dump when they made me the pastor, I stood

there in this place and I confessed that this church

would be multigenerational, that it would be young people and

old people. The reason why that was so important at

that time because I was known for being a youth pastor,

and so people knew I could draw young people, but

they didn't think that I could hold the respect in

the honor of the elders. And I got up there

with my knees shaken, and I said, this church will

be a multi generational church. And then I told them

the next one. I said that this church will be

a multi ethnic church. And now you got to realize.

Our church was on the north side of Tulsa. We

was in the hood. Pastor Debbie and Gary was like

two of the only white people at our church, and.

The like four more, but they came frequently in sporadically.

And what I'm saying is, Darren Applegate, shout out to you, Darren,

and I just to know that that's standing there with

all them people looking at me like a multi ethnic church.

I knew what God had shown me. And I don't

know if you've looked around your role today, but you

see Hispanic, white, black, you see Asian.

Y'all can give God praise for.

What he's already done.

Young.

Oh, some people know how to duggie, other people know

how to twist.

Do you understand what I'm saying. That's my church. Huh.

Some people know how to get in it, and the

other people.

They know how to You know what I'm saying, I

ain't no lot to pop like, yes, that's our church.

Somebody say that's my church, say it like you mean it,

that's my church. It's a place where all people, it's

a place where all people, all backgrounds, all socioeconomic classes

can come and lift up one name what's his name.

But somebody has to have a vision for that, because

wat can I be real?

Real?

It's easier to stay comfortable around people you know how

they're gonna act.

The reason why Martin.

Luther King said the most segregated time of the week

is Sunday mornings at eleven am is because you want

to go to the black church. You want to go

to the white church, you want to go to the

Hispanic church. You want to go to where it's comfortable.

I want to go where I don't have to change.

I want to go where I don't have to appreciate

and bring other people's ideas into the fold. I want

to go to where I don't have to explain myself.

And God says, you cut off a piece of me

when you only do what's familiar. Let me stop out

of there. Some of you, this is the season where

God's going to call and attract you to people who

are opposite because he's trying to expand who he created

you and be. It doesn't matter your whole family is racist,

that they racist, but stay over there. But God is

calling you into relationship with different ethnicities, and he's calling

you to understand cultures and be able to cross over

and be a bridge to something. Do not stop the

call of God on your life because of the ignorance

of people you were born around.

Y'all, don't hear me.

Do not stop what God has called you to do

because it's not familiar and you don't have a lot

of examples. Be the example that God needs you to be.

Be the one that'll be the difference maker.

Be the one.

If it doesn't need God to show up, I probably

need to shut it down.

What's the vision that's depended on him?

I can't do this without him. I can't get up

here week after week. I can't manage this thing has

gotten big. Sometimes tell Vision, why ain't you tell me?

I would have prayed for less? No, y'all, don't hear me.

There are sometimes where I'm like, this does not flirt, maybe,

but I'm called to it, so I'm uncomfortable, But I'm

still showing up. I'm gonna keep growing through this. I'm

gonna become everything. We're gonna see what the end gonna be.

I don't feel no ways tired.

Huh, I've come too far.

Nobody told me, Bish, if you didn't tell me the

role was gonna be easy.

But I don't.

Believe he's brought I feel happy right there. I don't

believe Charles he's brought me this far. I don't believe Mama,

he's brother. Where are the people that say I don't

believe God's brought me this far? To leave me right here?

There's more in store.

I feel that thing somebody shot at me more.

David needed God to show up to defle defeat Goliath.

Hannah needed God to show up to have a baby.

These aren't small visions. These visions are vast. It should

scare you a little bit. It should make you be like, ooh,

can't do that by myself. Paul and Silas needed God

to show up for the jail Celle to shake. Moses

needed God to show up to part the Red Sea.

And that brings me to our text right here. To

understand the last thing. The fourth point of this is

vision must have a vehicle. So vision has a vessel,

that's me and you. But vision also must have a vehicle.

And one of the vehicles that Jesus Christ declares is

his mode of transportation to get the gospel to.

The world is the church.

The church is one of God's primary vehicles to expand

his territory, his kingdom, and his domain.

And a lot of people are.

Less invested these days in what God invests everything in.

Let me say this, He gave everything for the church.

Y'all don't understand unto death. He gave his entire life

for the bride of Christ. And he's asking us to

be ones that would invest in what he invested in.

Nor I want to be like you, Jesus, except in

I don't do the church thing.

He said, you don't do the church thing.

The church thing is the whole reason that I went

to the cross, and so that people could find through

this local ecclesia, people gathering together, that you're not alone.

They was addicted to they were jacked up as well.

It was the grace of God that saved them, just

like it's.

Gonna save you. Oh yeah, he used to kill Christians.

Now he writes for.

Me like it is the thing that God is trying

to use to touch the whole world, and we have

to invest in the vehicle of the church.

A vessel is good. Who can sing? You can sing?

You can sing where you sing in front of everybody?

Right now?

Hold on, hold on, wait a minute, don't stop getting again.

Who would sing in front of everybody right now? Like

if you you when you sing, Novah, you're gonna stand up.

This is my niece. You raise your hand, raise your

stand up.

Your hair look good too, You got your silk press,

you look good.

Okay. So Novah, Oh, it's two of y'all. Stand there.

Okay, I'm no Novah. You stay standing, you you sit down?

You stand are your name Nova? Two?

Oh?

Okay, let's keep going, Novah. I want you to sing.

I have faith to believe you have all that I need.

Just start singing it right there, sing, y'all give it

up for my niece Novah in front of thousands of people.

She just saying that's powerful. Now I watch now, we're

gonna be honest. Could y'all really hear her over here?

Y'all lying? Because I barely could hear it right here.

I'm looking at every word.

I'm looking Okay, but watch a vessel can do a lot.

But if I tell this whole section everybody talked abottom,

y'all all stand up everybody on this section. Everybody in

this section, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody get your

role on here we go. As a matter of fact,

everybody in this section. Two, y'all stand up too. Matter

of fact, this whole.

Side stand up. Everybody are okay.

Now, watch a vessel did everything that she could, and

everybody had two even though she was sounding beautiful to

hear what it was. It was because it was only one.

There are people in here that I know would tell

you they can't sting. But if we all start singing together,

everybody sing with me. I'm your choir director, say I

have faith to be you have all that eindyes, sing

y'all merid cuse.

Singing, louder, sing, Hey.

Give it up for all. Y'all can take a seat.

They're like, sign me, I'm ready, no stop. The singing

wasn't better. It was just more people doing it.

Many people are living lives on an island, being a vessel.

It's just me and God. And God said, that's not

how I designed it. I want you to connect with

some other people. That's why I want you to sign

up for tribes. That's why I want you in community.

That's why I want you with people. Because if we

could all be making the sound the Bible says is

like this, one can put a thousand in the flight,

but two.

Can put ten thousand.

What would happen if hundreds of us started working in

the same vision of moving the cause of Christ forward,

not just in church, but in government, in schooling, in

the entertainment industry. God has need of you, and you

still sitting on the sideline because you don't want nobody

to challenge who you think you are. Why he's calling

Isaiah forty three. This is God talking to the children

of Israel after he shows up for them.

At the end of this sermon, I'm gonna tell you

the word of the year for Transformation Church.

But I feel like it would fall on deaf ears

if I didn't set you up to understand how powerful

vision is. Because everything we're about to do has nothing to.

Do with what we've done.

I'm gonna say it one more time because this is

gonna this is gonna frustrate some of y'all out of

your comfort zone. What we're about to do as a

church has nothing to do with what we've already done.

You need to go ahead and hit a factory reset

on what you think this church does because God's calling

us into something new.

And one of the things that you have.

To realize is the biggest enemy to what God wants

to do next is the praise and the idolization of

what He already did.

Did you hear what I just said.

The reason why you can't see your son or daughter

as an adult and talk to them with sins is

because you won't let go of them being a baby,

and at the season that they need you, you won't

be able to let them go and actually be a

coach to them because.

You no longer can just tell them what to do.

They've grown and they watch what you did, so it's

not what you said, is what you did. And what

I'm telling you right now, ooh, this is a parenting class.

I'm telling you right now that what we have to

do is go to the next iteration, the next version.

We need to evolve into what God is saying now.

You might have had wins in the past, but your

wins in the past become idols and stop your future.

Glory days. What God?

I want revival again. Pray until revival comes again.

You talking about what.

God did on Zusa Street. You live on south West

Main Street. Why he ain't done nothing there?

Okay, let me stop.

Everybody wants to relive a season that they remember fondly

and not fight for the season that's up ahead.

I remember that one year where everything was perfect. Make

another one.

We still serve the same God, and I'm a willing

and open vessel. I'm trying to get vision into you.

You need to see something different, because if you do,

he changes everything. Vision is most valuable. Husbands and wives.

You're gonna get a vision of what God is saying

to you. And this is a beautiful picture of our

Lord where he has to remind these people that he

just did a miracle that nobody's ever seen before. He

has to remind them of what he did and they

shouldn't have Forgott does that look like some of us

Sometimes that God does stuff and they'll be like, Oh,

what's gonna happen. He's like, just last week, stop it.

Isaiah forty three fifteen. He says, I am the Lord,

your Holy one, Israel's creator and king. He just delivered

all these people from Egyptian slavery.

And they came out.

He said, I am the lord who opened up the

way through the waters. Y'all don't remember that. Y'all't remember

me hitting the whole thing. Sham MoU nemo. Everybody on

the side, and I'll let y'all walk through. I made

dry paths through the sea. I called forth your enemy,

the mighty Army of Egypt. While it was chariots and

horses in the middle of the thing, I drew them out,

and then I had the waves hit them and they drown.

You don't remember that I snuffed their lives out. You

look back and you saw them.

You look back again, and they were gone.

That's the God I am.

This is a beautiful picture because what he was trying

to do is jog their memory, even though they should

have never forgot. He's trying to prepare them for a

new miracle. And this is the point I want you

to take from this. Memory precedes a miracle. So many

times God will remind you of what he did because

he doesn't want you to glorify that thing. He wants

you to remember how good he is, and how he

has the power to do it again. And then he's

trying to move you past where you are. Remember what

I did. Remember when I brought you out, Remember when

I healed you from that. Remember when you was addicted

to that. Remember when you had to drink that just

to go out. Remember you had to stay in that

place to feel secure.

Do you remember?

Do you remember how many bands you laid in before

you felt safe?

Do you remember how much counseling we had to do

to get to this place. Do you remember when you hated.

People like that and now you love people like that?

Do you remember the time when we fail in Do

you shout out to MJ.

That's his favorite song, My MJ?

Like, do you remember? Cause if you don't remember, you

might be changing the atmosphere that God wants to create

a miracle in. He's telling these people, Hey, I want

to do something new in you. I need you to

remember the miracles I've already brought you into so that

you have fuel for the miracles I'm about to take

you into. I'm gonna take you down memory lane just

for a second to show you how vision has led

this church and how God has systematically spoken a word

as I've seeked, as I have been in a place

of seeking his face, and He's led us time after time.

Twenty and fifteen, I came into this place and there

was a line in the sand where I said, I'm

not gonna be who I used to be. I'm gonna

be a man of God. I'm gonna lead, I'm gonna

stay consistent, and I'm gonna lead this church. God, I

have no idea how to do this. I have not

been a seminary. I don't understand a lot of stuff.

Father God, but you took Paul who was killing Christians

one week and he had a Damascus Road conversed, and

you transformed his life to the point where he was

telling people about Jesus that next week. So if you

can do it for it, I ain't kill nobody, God,

So if you can do it for him, teach me,

lead me on. So twenty fifteen we took that baton

and the word of the year that was retros fitted

into that was very simple, it will survive.

See some of y'all think that a.

Surviving year is not something to celebrate, But sometimes the

things that God brings you through, if you just survive it.

The goal was not to be up one hundred points.

The goal was just to make it through the game.

The goal was not just some where are the survivors

in the building right now? The people that said I

don't look like what I've been through because I survived.

For some of us, it was so many hits that

the fact that we just showed up, it's a win.

It's a second week of twenty twenty six and I'm

still in church after how of them trying to church people?

No, I survived.

And as we stood there, God said, Michael, I'm gonna

lead you every year.

So I said, all right, God, we survived. All the

people who left left.

I painted the ceiling black because we wanted to get

the lights right in the building. They said we were

starting a club. Bishop, Am I telling the truth? We

took the flags down. They said, you don't honor Guadalaua's

like you ain't never going there.

Stop. The people in the back can't see because the

flag is.

We're just trying to do some common sense stuff. Left

the church. And so then God said twenty sixteen, might

keep going. And I'm ready for a word that's gonna

take us into.

The future Father. I'm stepping by fight.

Twenty sixteen, maintained God dog it, cause many times we

don't think that God.

It's his grace if he allows us to say in

the same place. But many times when he allows.

Us to stay in the same place, it's because there's

something there we didn't learn that we need to learn. See,

if you're repeating some of the things that you're going through,

you need to stop being mad that it's happening, and

you need to ask what didn't I learn? Well, God,

why are you doing taking me through this again? Because

you failed? You absolutely failed the last time. Hence little

Johnny Jr. Listen, y'all trying to act. Okay, let's keep moving.

You need to maintain some of you need to stay

in a place where God can correct, change and move

things around before he elevates you. It is God's grace

that he kept us in a maintain It's God's grace

that he didn't blow us up back here. It's God's

grace he didn't release us.

To the world. Some of the stuff y'all think what

I say today is crazy.

The stuff I was saying back here was wild and crazy.

Kids.

Do you hear what I'm saying, because it was just unbridled, untamed,

and God was like, I'll give you a dark room

to develop that stuff.

I'm cheaping you for something. And many times in this.

Generation, if it don't blow up, we think that God's

not with us. Sometimes it's the proof that He is

with you. And so then in twenty seventeen we went

from surviving to maintaining it and we finally got a

word that took us somewhere.

God said this would be the year that we would go.

Somebody shot at me beyond, and y'all, that year we.

Grew four hundred people and four hundred thousand dollars in

the budget.

Nobody could tell me nothing. I thought that God had

come down himself.

And brought us into our new season and we shot it,

We praised, we ran, and God said, yeah, I'm taking

you beyond. But what you think is next is not

what you think beyond looks like. And I say, God,

what you mean? Well, twenty and eighteen came and God said, hey,

I want you to find the pace of grace. He

just said, go beyond, he said, and I need you

to find a pace. I want you to go beyond

that you're going too fast, you're doing too much. This

is not exactly how I wanted. And he told us

in that season that we needed to slow down. That

means we cut things. We took things off the calendar.

And it was literally at the end of this year

when God was saying beyond, I was in the precipice

of going from here to here. God on December in

that year, at a staff advance, he said, I want

you to stride. I want you to find the pace

of grace. I want you to cut some things. I

want you to decide how many speaking engagements you're going

to do next year. That didn't make logical sense to me,

because in twenty sixteen, on the year it was beyond,

I got four speaking engagement requests, took all of them.

I went everywhere, every camp, did everything. So God's saying,

choose how many speaking engagements? That doesn't even make sense

to my experience. But God knew what was up ahead,

so he was giving me a word to stride before

he released everything that he was about to do. Said God, Okay,

let's talk to my wife.

We'll do two speaking engagements a month. That felt like

Ludacris when I had four.

For the whole year and wasn't putting up my itinerary

and saying now booking. I was just like, Okay, I'm

gonna obey you. And literally we stepped into this. A

young lady she put up a clip of me doing

a message with golf balls orange balls.

Of relationship goals, and.

That thing went viral and literally from the end of

December of two thousand and seventeen, when God told us

to stride and we obeyed, when we crossed over into

this year, literally we went from eighteen hundred YouTube subscribers

to two hundred thousand and thirty days.

Nothing to clap forward. That was temptation. That was a

temptation to ignore the word God gave me.

I want you to hear, because every success is not

always up into the right. Some of it is tensioned

to obey God. So literally he comes into this season

and God's like tride and we go from a place

of having one service barely getting.

It fieled, we step over here five services.

I'm on oxygen tanks, dumbest thing I've ever done. But

literally I'm standing in this season trying to facilitate what

God said to do. But he said, find the pace

of grace. And as we found the pace of grace,

this message of relationship goals went crazy. And what ended

up happening is people begin to find the church and

people came. We didn't have working websites, we didn't have

all the stuff that they say you supposed to have.

I didn't barely have a social media account. There was

all kinds of stuff. And God says, I'll use all

your deficiencies to prove that it was me. God, I'm

trying to help somebody right where you're at right now.

You want something else to happen, And God says, I'll.

Use that for my glory.

And so then God said, all right, you ready to

step into it. And so we went from twenty eighteen

to twenty nineteen and it was the year of Relief,

and that's where God released some things. But he was

releasing us of some things too, because back here when

all of the major things was happening, my schedule and

calendar started blowing up. And God said, you remember that

word I told you to stride. He said, it's going

to come into play right now. My wife was going

through some things. We had a diagnosis with our son

of autism, and there were some things and I was

about to be gone, and the Holy Spirit says, I

gave everything for my wife. I want you to give

everything for yours.

And I exactly, what do you mean.

Call all of those people you said yes to and

tell them you can't come every major conference, everything, you

can't come. You have a higher priority. And I canceled

literally from June all the way to the end of

the year. And the Holy Spirit said, because you obeyed

me and a year that I'm releasing you to the world.

He said, I'm releasing you into another stratosphere of influence.

And I said, God, what do you mean?

He said, it won't make sense on this side of it,

but you got to keep obeying. What I'm trying to

tell you is when you have a vision, it might

not make sense while you're doing it. This is why

it takes you, having faith and crazy faith stride into release.

We canceled everything, and.

This was the year God gave us this building. See

because back there in twenty fifteen. Now I want you

to see how far twenty fifteen was away.

It's way back there.

And literally when I was way back here surviving, That's

what God gave me a vision thirty seven days into

me being the lead pastor of the church.

He told me to walk into my daughter's room and

write this vision down that.

The Spirit Bank Event Center would be Transformation Church.

I spelled transformation wrong. I spelled transformation.

And what I'm telling you is I leave it on

here because God doesn't need your vision writing down to

be perfect. He needs it to actually be written down.

I wrote it down, the Spirit Bank Event Center will.

Be Transformation Church.

He gave me this vision thirty seven days into surviving,

and he told me to write it down so all

the way up here.

When I forgot about it, he would release this building

to us.

But he only released it because when I could have

gone beyond, I stayed at home. See you don't know

that this building was already under contract by somebody else,

an entertainment company with a bunch of money, And we

kept asking God to open the door for us, and

the people kept telling us no, I got witnesses in

the room right now. But there was one day they

came to close on the property. And because we had

the property manager calling every week saying is it available yet?

Is it available yet? No, it's not available.

Well, they went to close and the people's funding fell through,

and their funding.

Fell through, and because we called every week, the first

call they made out of that room was.

To our team. They said, are you still interested? We

had never seen this building, we had never been walked around.

I had only broken in a couple of times. And

this is I'm telling you the truth. And God brought

us here. The setup for this was that He didn't

give it to us back here because we didn't have

the money for it. But when it came available, we

put one hundred thousand dollars earn this money down on

the building. On a Tuesday, we came over here. The

people had the funding by Friday. It was a Monday

when it happened. We put it down on Tuesday. They

had all the money. On Friday, those people called us

and offered us two million dollars to walk away from

the deal. And I said, let me pray about it,

because Mama ain't raised no Zummy and I and I

went and prayed, and the Holy Spirit said, I told

you what.

The vision was.

The Spirit Bank Evince Center. We don't be Transformation church.

Do not sell yourself short because of a money value.

Believe my word, because vision is most valuable. So because

we walked into release, we came into this building and

we did our first conference here, and then the Lord

told us some of y'all was there. On the last

day of conference. We couldn't go back, and we didn't

know how.

We was gonna do it.

Nothing, we didn't have no lights, nothing, it was nothing

was paid for.

And literally, as I stand.

Here today, there has not been one Sunday since that

day that we have not had everything that we have

needed to be able to facilitate what God's doing here.

We stepped into twenty twenty and He made us stronger

because he shut everything down. Coronavirus Auntie Corona came off

in here and shut everything that and we learned some

things and we were able to reach more people than ever,

and we saw more salvations than ever. And God said, Michael,

keep walking. I told you it was stronger. But your

situation looked like a valley. It looked hard, it looked

like it was frustrated. But I'm giving your word.

Watch this.

A prophetic vision or a prophetic word is to carry

you when the situation looks different.

Most of you are trying to get a.

Vision to see something be improved, and God's saying.

It might look worse for it get better. Remember what

I said.

And as we walked from twenty twenty we walked into

twenty twenty one.

And I want everybody to see I'm.

Making steps in the direction that God is leading, because

there's still more that lead me on song. There's more

to this story. There's so much more to what God

wants to do. But I can't stop in what he's

saying right now. I have to fully give myself to it.

And in twenty twenty one, he told us to be anchored,

to anchor to him. We said, Jesus is our anchor,

and we just said, why would you need to anchor

to something? Never thought about it while it was going on?

Jesus, I ain't God, thank you love for me that anchored.

The only reason you need an ancher is cousin Storn's coming.

See ignorance is bliss you.

I'm out here yelling, anchored, getting anchored, tattoos, anchor everything anger.

Ain't thought nothing about a storm, but God's grace.

It's so good.

A year before the storm, he would say, Michael, remember

what I said about you, go back and get every

prophetic word I've spoken over you. Remember what the Word

has said over you. Listen to the voices who know

who I've called.

You to be.

Because as we stepped out of twenty twenty one into

twenty twenty two, there was something that happened where some

spit hit the fan and people started hearing about us

from all over the world and writing newspapers and news

articles and doing all this other stuff. And he's a

false prophet, and here's all this other stuff. And God said,

I'm about to watch this.

This is to me.

He said, I'm about to purify you. And sometimes it

takes people turning against you for you to actually know

what I put in you. And look what he told

me this year was he said, this year is holy. God,

it don't feel holy. He said, take off your shoes,

get intimate on this. I need you to show me

your real self, the flesh part of you, because here

is holy. And we walked through this year and I

think God for this church. I thank God for the

people who have literally learned how to stand in a vision.

No matter if people on the outside don't understand what

God is doing in it, most believers will only do

what is popular and what everybody agrees with, and they

will miss the actual calling of God for their life

because everybody who conducts an orchestra has to turn their

back on the crowd.

At some point.

The person who's conducting, the person who's leading, has to

not think about who's in the audience and focus on

the people who signed up to play with him. And

I thank God for Transformation Church, because you are a

church that has left everybody in the dust saying We're

coming for you. But we got to hear from God.

We gotta stay praying, we gotta stay worshiping, we gotta

keep joy. And we walk through this year horrified me

and purified this church and helped us see where we

needed to grow and what we needed to be. And

it brought us into twenty twenty three. If we were

gonna stop any year, this would have been it. And

the Devil messed up because he said, Michael, remember every

person who's done anything great for me was persecuted for

the sake of the call. He says, So everything you

going through this is about the Kingdom. This has nothing

to do with you. This has everything to what I'm

doing in you and doing in this world.

And We told.

Everybody that it was about the kingdom. We weren't gonna

be kingdom. Not know what God says about his word,

but we were gonna walk in authority and be able

to stand in the kingdom. And as twenty twenty three

came to an end, God gave us a word that

we've been walking in for after that, and it was

very simple. He said, now after you come out of that,

I want everything.

You've been through to produce fruit.

This is how they'll know your mind and not how

you talk about stuff.

How much fruit do you have?

And we kept giving and kept sewing and kept blessing

and kept partnering. And God said, I'm about to take

it to a whole nother level. And I said, God,

what do you want us to do? He said, I

want your fruit to actually be where we've been for

this whole year.

He said, I want you to now walk in focus.

He said, everything I've done in the past ten years,

eleven years, he said, it's brought you to this point.

And now he commands us to do something he commands

the children of Israel to do.

He literally tells them, forget it.

I just took you through this beautiful amazing explanation and

what I'm asking you to do right now, Hey, light man,

sound man, take this off the stage.

I want this to be what you.

Do in your life and in every area that God

has brought you from a mighty long way and he's

taking you to another place. I want you to forget it.

I want you to not think about it happening no

more from this point on. What's the story he can

write with you? With all the experience, with all that

you've been through, with all the winds, with all the losses,

with all the lessons, Could the next chapter of your

life be a greater chapter than the ones you've lived

before if you would give the same God the opportunity

to have a full surrender of yours right now. While

I'm older, you're wiser too well. I don't have the

connections you got me. God is saying to his people

right now, like he's saying to.

The children of Israel, I did do the miracles.

I brought you through the waters, I took you through

the seas, But now forget it. What forget the greatest miracle?

He said, It's not worth being compared to what I'm

about to do, y'all don't believe me. All right, let's

just go to the Bible. We're gonna end it here today.

Go to the rest of Isaiah. Read the rest of

this scripture Isaiah forty three, verse eighteen. He literally says,

I did all of these things, but forget all that.

Yeah, yeah that too. Oh yeah I did that too.

Oh yeah, yeah that too. Forget it. It's not worth

being compared to what I'm about to do. Oh God,

it is nothing.

The only people who can say that is people who

know what's coming. Yeah, Charles, nobody can tell me is

greater than what I've experienced unless they hold my greater.

God is holding your greater, and he's telling you this

was relationship goals.

You think that was your best book? You do you

think that's gonna be.

The most impactful thing you did at age thirty six,

you thought that, You thought that that was it.

Yeah, forget it. Forget it. Be grateful for it, but

don't set that as the bar. Thank God for it,

but don't try to.

I just want a relationship like I had with Richard

one more time.

Rich was not it. You need to believe for.

You. Still holding on to his dusty jersey, he didn't

even play when he let me stop, He didn't even play.

Look at your neighbor and say forget all that.

No, look at him, say forget it.

It's nothing to be compared to what I'm going to do.

That's where the church should tear the club up, because

you have to understand if God has been good, if

he's been kind, if he has been a restorer, if

he's been a deliverer, if he has been the one

who has.

Seen you through every season, if he's the one that

gave you the child after you were infertile, if he's

the one that if he's the one who did it,

and he's saying forget it, he did it, and he's

saying forget it.

He performed it, and he's saying.

Forget it because he's about to.

Show you another version of himself.

Oh y'all don't know about the God I served, But

I wish there was fifty people that believe that there

is more up ahead, that God didn't do his best

work back there, that he is the same God yesterday,

today and forever, that it is not over just because.

I'm standing here, But forget all that.

It's nothing compared to what I'm gonna do verse nineteen,

and we out of here for I'm about to do

something new. If you're taking notes right down new take pictures.

Every time you see new. Y'all know how stuff has

a new smell. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Like

you know your shoes, You last time you smell them

is when nobody has put their foot in them. New

car has a smell, new house has a smell, A

new relationship has a smell too. I'm telling, I'm saying

God saying, He's saying, what I've.

Done has brought you to this point.

Thank God, let's be grateful. But then hit delete and

I can't touch on it because we're about to go

in a whole series that's gonna help you. But some

of you are so bound by nostalgia that you are

divorcing the future that God has for you because you've

made an idol out of nostalgia. Tell remember that one

trip you could go on another one, but the one

trip has got you stuck and it's paralyzed you. And

God's about to bring you into something.

Say it with me with faith, Say new, Get ready

for new, Get ready for new.

Somebody's about to hold this get ready for new. I

don't care what anybody says about it. Get ready for new.

Somebody says it's coming my way. I received that by faith.

Get ready for new twenty twenty six.

It's gonna be new.

Somebody's gonna be popping tags.

And I'm not just talking on.

Clothes, popping tags, on peace, popping tags on joy, popping tags.

Don't look, this is new love. This is new joy.

This is new peace. This is no confidence, this is

new security.

This is new safety. This is new somebody shot at

me new for I'm about to do something new. Watch

see I've already begun. He's saying, Oh, you didn't see

this with vision. See vision is seeing with your eyes closed.

Sight is seeing with your eyes open. He said, you

couldn't sense at the end of twenty twenty five that

I was about.

To do something different.

I already started making you agitated with your surroundings last summer.

I started already making that environment not fits you.

You can't see what I'm doing. The communication broke down

on purpose. You don't see what I'm doing.

You can't already sense the reason why you don't like

them foods no more.

It's because your.

Body's rejected it, and you're about to get healthy.

You don't sense what I'm doing.

You can't see yourself yet healed and hold it, not

cussing him out and actually being able.

To walk through it. And you don't see what I'm doing.

That's because you have sight and my vision. Sometimes you

need to close your eyes and you gotta see it

before you see it. He said, I'm doing something new.

What's new in your life? With your eyes closed, You're

gonna lay hands on the city and they will recover.

That's gonna be new for you.

You're gonna walk into something and you gonna say, in

the name of Jesus, I command everything wrong with you

to line up with the word of God, and I

speak healing. And it's not gonna be like I heal somebody.

It's not gonna be for your glory. It's gonna be

for his. Somebody shot at me one more time.

New.

This is what God I want you to get, the

context in which he's telling the children of Israel this.

This is the same guy who just literally parted the seas.

I mean, I've heard some miracles, but not too many greater.

Than like full highway construction.

Two million people's water standing steel dry, like why.

Is it dry?

And it was just I mean, at least you should

have been muddy.

Y'all. Don't read the Bible.

He said they walked on drop because he didn't want

he didn't want the footprints of where they had been

to be traceable into where they were going. Y'all, don't

hear what I'm saying. He made it drive so that

what the past was could not be traced into the future.

This is what vision will do to you. All right,

let me say tell your neighbor forget all that he's

doing something new. Do you not see it?

I only can rock with people in twenty twenty six

who can see it. So sorry if you can't see it.

You can't see your family whole. You can't see yourself

in therapy. You can't see yourself blessing others. You can't

see yourself being the lender and not the borrower. You

can't see yourself walking out of a poverty mindset. You

can't see yourself bringing joy into every atmosphere. Can't fool

with you. I need people who can see it. I

need you to be able to see.

This place full.

I need you to be able to see us blessing

the community. I need you to be able to see it.

Ask your neighbor do you see it?

Do you see it?

It's important you get the right people around you. My

time is but somebody needs to be encouraged that. Every

time you have to work through somebody that should be

supporting you, it takes another piece of the actual energy

you need to do things. And so some of you

need to clear out your surroundings. Everybody should not be

able to hear what.

God is saying.

You shouldn't have to check in with nine other people

who don't even pray about your situation.

I don't think that's a good idea.

You didn't even pray about that. You didn't even ask

the one who told me about that. If you don't

see it, I won't be seeing you. Some of y'all

in relationship. That needs to be the thing you tell them.

I'm gonna be a doctor and we're gonna stay celibate

until we get married.

I don't see that.

Well, I'm not gonna be seeing you, y'all. Do okay,

let me start ask somebody, do you see it? I've

already begun said I will make a pass half way

through the wilderness, and I will create rivers and dry wastelands.

God was basically.

Telling them the Word of the Year that he gave

me for this year for our church.

He said, what I'm.

Trying to do is move you out of where you've

been into where I'm taking you. But you have to

be okay with transition. And there are people under the

sound of my voice that want God's will but don't

want to move. I want to stay here, I want

to have this comfort, I want to do this. And

God's saying, hey, I've already promised you the land, but

you're going to have to do something outside of what

this is.

The first thing you're.

Going to have to do is have a memory lapse

to know that back here was not the extent of

My goodness and greatness. I'm bringing you into something new,

and that's why Philippians three, verse twelve and fourteen is

the New Testament passage that parallels to what this is.

I'm gonna read it to you. I'm gonna tell you

the word of the Year, and I'm to preach that

second half of my message next week.

Amen.

Will y'all stand up all over this place? Thank you Lord,

Philippians three twelve. It says, I don't mean to say

this as I have already achieved these things, or that

I have already reached perfection. But I press on to

the purpose of perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it.

I want to make you know I'm not perfect at this.

But I focus Wow, that's the word of the year

this year. When God brought me to this scripture, I

was like, Wow, you gave me this word for our church,

and now you're transitioning us because the other word of

the year is in this scripture as well. He said,

But I focus on this one thing. What's the thing

that I focus on forgetting? Some of you are about

to become professional forgetters, not of the things that he

calls you to remember as a testimony and to help

other people. But I'm telling you, I'm gonna teach you

how we're gonna do this. But some of the things

that you've been going through, they've actually been stopping you

because they happened. And God is about to make you

a professional forgetter. He says, I need you to focus

on forgetting. I'm gonna do a whole message series on

that focus on forgetting the past and looking forward to

what lies ahead.

Somebody say, I press I press.

On to reach the end of the race and receive

the heavenly prize for which God through Christ Jesus watch

this is right now calling all of us. People always

say I'm called. God's saying to me, I'm calling. It's

present right now. He's still calling you. He's still calling me.

He's still calling you. He's still calling you.

The phone has to be ringing, and God saying will

you pick it up?

I know you had picked it up in twenty fifteen,

Michael at that Best Western and you answered the call,

But will you pick it up again in twenty and

twenty six?

And I came to ask every person in.

This room, if God calls you, if he's calling you

right now, if he's drawing you into the vehicle of

His church and his kingdom to be able to make

a difference, will you answer the call and do what

He asked you to do.

And for too many of us there has to be

a debate, well what does that mean?

And God saying I gave up everything for you to

have the opportunity to say yes to this. So back

in July, God told me very clearly through a series

of events that I will share with you because I

want you to know hearing God is not as difficult

as you think it is. Next week I'm gonna take

you through and show you how we're about to do

the Word of the year.

But God was so clear with me.

He confirmed it over four times through the most random

things in the world.

And I know when I hear God, I ain't gonna

fight them and I'm not gonna resist him.

And so Transformation Church, the Word of the Year for

twenty twenty six is anybody ready in the building right now.

This is a prophetic word over your life, over your family,

over your business, over your mind, over your body, over

your life.

The word for twenty twenty six is forward.

If you know that we're going forward, Oh, if we're

gonna see all that God has, why don't you give

him a shout of praise right now?

Forward?

Forward and forward. Still I didn't stop back there. We're

going forward, he said. I want you to focus on

forgetting because what I'm about to do is forward. The

Holy Spirit told me, he said, Michael, everything is ahead.

Everything you're gonna praise for everything, You're gonna shout for

everything that you're gonna see, change the family, the generation.

Somebody say everything is ahead, Come on, say it with faith.

Everything is a head, all the good, all the things

I'm gonna get, over all the person that I'm gonna

come become.

Everything is ahead.

And God said without faith, it's impossible to please me, Michael.

And faith is always forward. He doesn't ever tell you

to use your faith for something behind. He said, we

walk by that's forward, and not by what we see.

That means we need a vision.

Over the next five weeks. I'm about to give you

the coldest arsenal spiritually to walk as a samurai. No,

I'm not playing the way. You're gonna be able.

To chop down stuff.

And make clear paths out of stuff that was supposed

to stop you. Because this year, as a church, we're

moving forward. How many people receive that right now? Just no,

come up by faith at home right now. If you're

gonna be moving forward this year, give them a shout of.

Praise one more.

I need your faith to be a large Everything is ahead, forward, forward,

every area that's been stagnant in your life.

I want you to speak over it. For some of

y'all need to open up your account and you need

to look at them zeros forward. Some of y'all think

I'm playing man.

Some of y'all need to go into that bedroom where

it's just been stagnant and arguments and frustration, and say,

our communication is going full. You're gonna look at those

things that our literal addiction tools for you.

I wanna hold this this time next year. I'm not

giving you my life.

I mean, look at it, then take a puff, and

then look at it again. O. Because we don't value perfection,

we value progression.

Look at it. This is the last year. I'm so sorry.

This is the last year you're gonna have this much

in my life. I'm moving full. Some of y'all need

to label your ex them sneaky links and booty calls.

You need to label them the past. His name is

not JaMarcus no more. It's the past. His name is

not Travis. It's the past. And the reason I can't

answer the past is because I'm moving This is your

seasoned man of God, this is your seasoned woman of God.

Man of God, You're moving forward.

God's gonna equip you with everything that you need to

do what He asks you to do. You're not stuck,

You're becoming. He's changing, You're surrounding so you can move

forward in faith. If you want to move forward. Lift

your hands. I want to pray for you, Ah God.

I thank you.

That when you give a word, we can trust it,

and we thank you in this place today and all

over the world. This was a confirmation to so many

of what you've told them, even in other words and

even in other things.

God's calling us forward.

No I have not perfected it, but Father God, today,

with your Holy Spirit work on the inside of us,

this will be the year of the greatest forward momentum

that this church has ever seen. I'm not talking about

the organization. I'm talking about the organisms.

God.

I thank you that you're doing it in their household,

that they would go forward in every area of their life.

Father, speak with clarity.

And give us a vision that cannot be undone because.

I'm not going back. I'm moving ahead.

I'm here to declar to you the past is over you.

Things are mainly srender man life to Christ.

I'm moving Lift your hands. I'm not going back here,

I'm moving.

Uh, I'm here to declar, Yes, the past.

Things are made news. Trend of my Lord Chris.

I'm we're gonna sing the next part we say you may.

Come on, lift it up. Come on, this is us

going forward as a church. Where are we going?

Come on, lift your hands and just tell God you

make all things I trust you, Word God, we will

see you do it again.

Father God.

We stand in faith, we stand in expectation. Forward.

Just one more time, just lift it up.

Say you make all things news. Believe it over your family,

Believe it over your mind, Believe it over your spirit

and your emotions.

Hey, just one un time.

Somebody's coming into the faith to believe the same.

And you, Holy Spirit, what direction?

Where are we going?

One of the things in that song that says.

I'm not going back, I'm moving ahead. I'm here to

declare to you that the past is over all things

are made new. I surrender my life to Christ. The

way you're going forward is you have to surrender your

life to Christ.

And I need to.

Be very clear with you, the only way forward is

with Jesus.

So, if you're under the sound.

Of my voice watching this live right now online in

this room, watching ten months from now. Today is the

day of salvation, and God has created this moment so

that you could go.

Somebody shout at me, forward, say it with faith.

The only way that you can get out of the

place you're in is with following Christ. Christ's first invitation

with his disciple was follow me, Follow me out of

what you're doing right now, and follow me forward.

Today he's making that same invitation.

It's the greatest decision you could ever make. It took

me from being a liar, a manipulator, somebody who was

addicted to pornography, had very dark things in my heart,

twisted in my mind. And God said, if you give

me your heart, I'll help you change your habits. And

I surrendered my life to Christ. And it turned me

from a person that was headed to take a lot

of people to the wrong place to being a champion

for the Kingdom of God. And know I am not

perfect today, I am progressing, but I'm telling you the

change happened when I invited Jesus into my life. And

somebody's sitting here watching this right now, and you're saying,

I don't know if I'm good enough. God said, it

doesn't matter if you think you're good enough. I thought

you were good enough. I went to the prosts. Why

you were yet a sinner? I died, I stretched out,

I took all the punishment for your sin, and I said,

all I need you to.

Do is believe that I did it.

According to Romans ten to nine, he said, if you

believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, you're saved.

Then the next part is sanctification. We're gonna get worked out,

and we're gonna get purified, and we're gonna walk this

thing out. But the first thing is you gotta get

in and follow him. So today you want to take

a step forward. It's the greatest one thing you could do.

Can I celebrate the over seven hundred people that have

given their life to Christ through our time of prayer

and fasting.

I'm not talking about on a Sunday.

I'm talking about over seven hundred people have accepted Jesus

by us just putting out prayer.

Over seven hundred people they made a move forward Church.

It's Him that makes all things new. And today we

want to give you an opportunity. If that's you wanted

the sound of my voice, I don't care what you smoked.

I don't care who you've been with. I don't care

what you have done, I don't care what you're planning

on doing.

Today.

The Savior of the universe has made a meeting with you,

and he wants your life to actually be in concert

with the purpose that he created you for. If you

want to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior

on the counter, three, all I want you to do

is slip your hand up in the air. And this

is not an embarrassing thing, because it's a thing that

we celebrate around here.

Matter of fact, all of.

Heaven celebrates if one person comes to faith.

And so right now, one, you're.

Making the greatest decision of your life at home in

the room.

Two.

Your name is gonna be written in the Lamb's Book

of life.

Three.

If you want to accept Jesus, lift your hand. I

see a hand over there, I see a hand right

b back there. I see you up there. And more

than that, God sees you. And we're celebrating with Transformation Church.

We're celebrating with all of those. It's all worth it

because somebody's life is being made new. You will be

born again, and so at Transformation Church we're a family

nobody prays alone.

Can we all pray this prayer together?

Say God, thank you for taking us forward by sending

Jesus just for us. I believe he lived, he died,

and he rose again with all power from my soul.

And today I repent.

I turned towards you, Change me, renew me, transform me.

I'm yours in Jesus' names. Amen, Hey, transformation in church?

Can we celebrate? Come on, you can do better than that.

Can we celebrate all those who are going forward? Hey, listen,

if you need prayer for anything, our altered team is

coming up here. Do not leave this place without getting agreement.

The Bible says we can touch and agree on anything

that is happening in our lives. And some of you

need prayer to actually go back tomorrow and move forward

out of the situation you're in.

And I'm gonna teach you.

But God doesn't have to wait till next Sunday to

start the movement.

It can happen right now.

That's why you need to join us tomorrow for our

time of prayer and fasting six am on every social

media platform and six point thirty right here in the building.

I need to see more y'all at Prayer Church. I

see you on Sunday, let me see you on Monday.

I love you.

Come any day of this week and let's see what

God will do. But I believe this is a year

where we're going forward. Amen, commit to the House of God.

Those who are planted, they will produce fruit and every season.

And as we walk into this, we're going forward.

Let me pray over you, Father, thank you for every

person under the sound of my voice. I thank you

that this word is about to resonate and come alive.

They're about to find revelation of what it means to

move forward.

In their life. And I declare it.

I believe, Father, God, that as you do the miracles,

as you bring momentum to our year.

Father God, we.

Will be careful to give you the glory, the honor

and the praise. Show us what we need to do

today to move into what you're doing tomorrow. We give

you glory, honor and praise that you are a God

that still speaks, that you are God that still performs

your word. You're moving us forward. Have your way in

us now. Bless everybody that's on the fast.

God. I thank you that this week will.

Be our best week of fast then, Father God, that

we will hear a rhythm, Father of hearing your voice

and walking in vision. We trust you, we believe you,

and we thank you for it in Jesus' name. Somebody say,

we agree, we expect amen.

If you had a good time in touch today, give

God much shadow of praise.

Until next week, go out and live a transform life.
