Faith For Miracles // Mustard: The Seed That Can Change Everything (Part 5) // 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.

Okay, So today I'm gonna preach to you with a

title called Faith for Miracles. Faith for Miracles. You thought

we was gonna sing the song and then I was

gonna give you three points in a poem to.

Let you go live a life that's powerless.

Today, I feel like I'm an assignment from God to

remind every believer that miracles are the promises of God

to a believer. It is not saved for a select

group of people who have some secret society that God

does miracles for.

It's not.

Relegated to people who are on platforms. You don't have

to follow nobody around the country and pay a thousand

dollars and get miracle water.

Okay, I'm.

We serve a God of somebody shot at me miracles.

Shot it with faith, say miracles. And today I need

to in seed this seed form as we're talking about

must seed faith. I need to come and tell you

that your belief for things may be too low. What

if I told you that a part of the package

deal of salvation, that there is a level of authority

and audacity you can walk into that allows you to

live watch this at.

The frequency of miracles.

And I know people don't talk like this because they

actually don't believe. But as we were in this writing

session this week, we were about to move on to

something completely different, and the Holy Spirit arrested me and

he said, you know that chorus.

That y'all sing, I have faith to believe you have

all it.

He there's a revision I need to do to that song,

and I need you to sing about miracles.

And we spent about two hours.

Penning words that we could sing in the valley. Now,

I know everybody wants to sing about the mountaintop, but

do I got at least five hundred people to be

honest that sometimes we find ourselves in a valley.

Okay. I need to know where are the people who

have seen victory out of a valley before? Okay?

And if we're honest, some of us are in a

valley right now. And today I came to help your faith,

because if you're going to have.

Faith, you might.

As well use it for miracles. I'm gonna say, oh

one more time. If you're going to have faith, somebody say,

you might as well use it for miracles.

Today.

I want to stir the faith on the inside of

you to the point that you're going to see everything

different from this moment on. Go to Mark chapter sixteen,

verse seventeen. This is going to be our anchor scripture today.

Mark sixteen, verse seventeen.

These miraculous signs. Another translation says, miracles will accompany those

who believe. How many believers do I have in Jesus

Christ in this room or online right now? And if

you're not a believer yet, we're so glad that you're here.

We hope, by our love and our proclamation of God's

word in a way that you can understand it, that

one day you will come into a loving relationship with Him.

And today I feel like it's my job to let

you know there's no better way to live than to

believe in God. Okay, but once you cross that threshold,

then what do you do? This past week, me and

Natalie decided to really start teaching the Todd tradition of

winning in games, and so to do that, we had

to start beating our children in board games, and this

past week we have introduced to the Todd Household Monopoly.

And I don't know if you've ever played Monopoly with

your children, but there is a very nice tension that

comes with teaching them and whooping them at the same time.

In the game, of course, and as we were playing

this game, there's one card when you pull it in

chance called the get out of Jail free card. And

what happens with this card is that if you have

this card, you get to hold it just in case

you ever go to jail. It's your saving grace. And

one of my daughters had to get out a free

jail card and forgot about it and was paying the

penalty and not getting to take their turn because they

didn't understand that they had access to get out of jail.

I couldn't help but think about how many believers that

they come into a relationship with Jesus Christ and they

have access to heaven, but they are missing their opportunities

in life because they actually do not use all that is.

Available to them.

They just happy to not go to jail.

And some of y'all just happy not to go to hell.

But if God sent Jesus to actually come John to

in ten that we might have life and life to.

The full, an abundant life.

What does an abundant life look like? Does an abundant life?

Ask yourself this question.

Does an abundant life that Jesus Christ describes in his

word look like your life? Would you be a prototype

for an abundant life.

I'm not talking about money. I need everybody to hear me.

Jesus talks to us about the fruits of the spirit.

The proof that you are he is love, joy, peace, patience, kind.

Would you be fool abundant of fruit?

And the truth of the matter is, most believers do

not look like what God has. Watch this word promised.

When God promises something, if it don't happen, it's not him.

I'm gonna say it one more time. If God promises

something when it doesn't happen, you have to check the user.

Have you ever called to get something fixed and it

wasn't the thing? It was a user error.

You was hitting the wrong button the whole time. You

are doing it.

The wrong way.

I had to come to the conclusion that when I

look at the promises of God, when he says in

Mark sixteen that miracles, signs and wonders will accompany every

person who is a believer.

A company.

Look at that word that means come alongside of every

person who believes. If I'm going to a concert and

somebody accompanies.

Me, they whip me.

Miracles, signs wonders should be wh me at the gym. Okay, Miracles,

signs and wonders should follow me when I'm.

At Disney World.

Oh God, Miracles, signs and wonders should walk with me.

As I'm looking through houses for my family.

To move into. They come.

I don't gotta call them, they already come.

So why would miracles, signs and wonders not show up.

It might be because we don't understand how they are

supposed to be an intricate part of our everyday life.

Look at this scripture.

These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe. They will

cast out demons in My name. They will speak in

new languages or tongues. They will be able to handle

snakes with safety, and if they drink anything.

Poisonous, it won't hurt them.

They will be able to place their hands on the sick,

and they will be healed.

Let me break this down to let you.

Know why you're supposed to believe, that miracles can happen

in you, with you, through you, in you.

With you, and through you.

This scripture says if you are a believer. Somebody say,

I'm a believer, come on, say it with faith, Say

I'm a believer. If you are a believer, The first

thing it says you can do is a believer can

evict evil spirits.

Did y'all see that you can cast out the high

school believers? You can evitt evil spirits? Oh God, You

do not have to walk into a place.

Like the vibe is off. Okay, the Aurah wasn't one

of a nine tang like. You can walk into an

atmosphere and say, hold on, I command the spirit of

depression to leave this room right now.

I declare the peace of God to.

Be in this room. I thank you Lord that you

are good and goodness is showing up in this atmosphere

right now. You can evict evil spirits if you're a believer.

This is not something extra you have to work for.

There is not a.

Doctorate program that comes with getting these gifts. This is

baked in, built in, comes with it.

Somebody say I'm a believer. I believe for miracles.

And the first thing you can do is evict evil spirits.

Oh God, when you evict evil spirits, that means you're

authorized by God. Anybody ever been act don't raise your hand.

But if you've ever been evicted.

Before, the person who comes to serve and eviction notice

is not just somebody going up to random doors. It's

somebody that's authorized. Many times the property manager don't even

live in the same state. Many times the property manager

ain't even ever been on that property. They got other

people that work for them that.

Are authorized to say, Hey, you ain't done what you're.

Supposed to do.

This is not the environment you can be in anymore.

Get out.

When's the last time, as a believer of Jesus Christ

that you have walked in the authority that God has

given you and authorized you to be in.

And I don't care if you are an introvert or

an extrovert.

I don't care if you have a soft personality or

allow personality. You have been authorized with the personality and

the DNA God has given you to be able to

walk into any situation. The demons have to listen to

your whisper.

Okay, I need to tell somebody right now, you can

whisper get out of here. In the name of Jesus,

I said, And they got to flee.

You have been somebody say, authorized, if you're a believer,

he said, you can tell whatever spirit has been lingering

around your family for decades, the only reason it stays

is because you let it, let poverty stay in that house.

You and your family joke about that spirit. Y'all know

we broke where they think they go on vacation.

You know they ain't God no more.

You have patronized that spirit of poverty so much that

it sits down in every place you find yourself.

You can be in a mansion still broke in your mind.

Because that spirit has never been evicted, that victim mentality

you've been walking in your whole life. People can literally

be saying, you can do it, you can do it,

you can do it. We're here for you, and you here.

There's nothing you could do to make this happen. And

ever since your father left her, ever since that person

didn't believe in you, you have allowed the spirit of

victim to be all on you. And God's saying you

know you can tell it to leave. Oh God, you

have been given authority to evict evil spirits. The second

thing it tells us is that somebody say, I'm a believer.

A believer can speak in heavenly language if you've never

been filled with the Holy Spirit with the benefit of

speaking in tongues, not the evidence, because in old school

church they say, have you been filled with the Holy Spirit?

And the evidence of speaking in tongue evidence, according to

the Word of God, that you have been filled with

the spirit is the fruit of the spirit. And I've

seen a lot of people that can hear that bad

can't ted Hey, bead should have bought a bow tie

and don't have love? Okay, all right, he said, you

can do a whole bunch of that, but you're not kind.

Clanging symbol.

But he does say there is a benefit to speaking

in a heavenly language, and if you've never been open

to that, I know we have people watching that were

raised in different denominations, people who transferred from Catholic into

Christian and all the different things that are happening. What

I'm telling you is open up your heart to a

secret weapon.

Of the Kingdom.

Paul, who writes most of your favorite scriptures tells us

that he.

Prays in tongue more than everybody. He said.

The way that I stayed floridified is that I walk around.

My house mykaya, my show sham rama kayada, yas shoes

kodam shata.

Sord my kayada myself, he said, I praying tongue while

he's cooking.

While you're outside with the kids. I don't know what

to pray, how to.

Keep them safe in this school system. So as they're

praying rama satya, my show call ram, I'm giving you

an example of what you have access to.

And guess what the inn and me can't interpret.

Okay, I'm trying to give you strategy right now. You

know why Morre's code was developed because Morre's code was

a language that you could speak to somebody who knew

the language, but your enemy could not intercept that language.

Our heavenly language is a language that the enemy has

no ability to intercept. And the reason he would make

it want to seem weird is so that you don't

use your weapons of warfare. I feel my health to

coming on today. And what you need to understand is

that when God gives you a weapon it's.

Not to harm you, it's to protect you. And I

just want to say that.

If you are a believer, he said, part of the

miraculous thing that you get at salvation is the ability

to communicate with your creator. A believer can speak in

other tones, so a believer.

Can evict evil spirits.

They can speak in heavenly language. Watch this third thing

a believer. You remember when it says they'll be able

to handle snakes with safety. Now people have taken this

to the extreme, and you don't seen crazy people in.

The name of Jesus with a rattle steak God dead.

I don't think this was something that was supposed to

be literal. I think it was a metaphor. I think

it was a metaphor to let you know, watch this.

All believers can have victory over venom. Hear what I

just said. He said, you'll be able to walk around snakes.

The only reason a snake is dangerous is because of

the venom that's in them. And I don't know if

you've ever been around a snake, the slithery kind or

the ones that talk to you at your job, but

what I'm saying to you is that all snakes come

with venom, and what venom is supposed to do is

paralyze to stop mobility. How many words have been spoken

over you to try to paralyze you from purpose? How

many times did they not choose you and it tried

to paralyze you from doing what God told you to do?

And what the Bible is telling us here. If you're

a believer, you have victory over venom. You have the antibody,

you have the Holy Spirit. Whenever somebody tries to sink

their teeth into you, that venom gets purified by what

God has said about you. I am the righteousness of Christ.

I have everything that I need. I am fearfully and

wonderfully made.

God chose me. Do y'all hear what I'm saying. Somebody

say I have victory.

Over venom, That means you can't keep being the victim.

I just got to say this because some people have

been so comfortable and being the victim that when God

gives them victory, they go back into victim.

You hear me.

Yeah, your childhood was crazy, Yeah, your twenties was jacked up. Yeah, Yo,

thirties and forties was crazy. But God last month started

doing the work in you.

It don't have to be a long time.

You're waiting for the bottom to fire like he's started yesterday.

Today is your first day of sobriety. Today's showing, y'all, y'all, God, y'all.

But today is your first day not looking at pornography.

Today is the first day that you're gonna eat healthy

the miracles start. Somebody say, today, it means you can't

be the victim anymore. I got victory over every venom

that comes into my life.

Oh my goodness, right down next to it. I'm a overcomer.

Yeah, that means sometimes God allows things to be in

my way so I can step over them. Oh God,

If I'm an overcomer, that means there are certain things

that happen in my life for me to intentionally you

mad because it's.

There, And God said, just.

Why are you still complaining about Well, they didn't never

give me. Some of y'all need to stretch and kick

your leg over it.

Okay.

So a believer can evict evil spirit, a believer can

speak in a heavenly language. A believer has victory over

a venom, and then look what it says. It says

they will be able to handle snakes with safety and

if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. What

this means is a believer can filter filth. If anything

poisonous tries to come into your system. You have been

given decernment by the Holy Spirit to say.

Uh, that ain't for me. Y'all might can watch that movie,

y'all might can listen to that song. Y'all might can

go to that party.

But as for me and my house, I have the

ability to filter filth. He said, when poisonous things come

to me on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook, I have

the ability to have discernment that this ain't necessarily saying,

but this ain't good.

For me. I need to filter.

That's where the Holy Spirit comes in with discernment, and

it says, then they will be able watch this to

place their hands on the sick and they will be healed.

When I read this, this is the only one of

all my thirty something years being in church, this is

the only one people talk about that miracle, signs and

wonders will follow you and you will be able to

lay hands on the sick and they will recover. I

need to be able to evict spirits too.

Speak to my.

God in a heavenly language, have victory over venom, be

able to filter the filth, and then a believer knows

transformation is tangible through agreement.

Every time that I.

Get around another believer, you should be able to grab hands,

put elbows together, get on each other's shoulders. Because some

of y'all y'all different with the hands and stuff like that.

It don't matter as long as we touch and agree.

He said you will be able to lay hands on

the sick. That doesn't mean every time it's.

Like, oh my god, lay hands could.

Be Lincoln pinkies. I'm just trying to let your.

Mind shift from how you have seen things done and

what the scripture says is you'll be able to lay

hands on sick people, on your son, on your daughter,

on your wife, on your husband, on your girlfriend, on

a stranger, and as a believer, you can believe that

they can recover. Now even as I'm saying that, right now,

it's fighting.

What is in your control.

This is why people don't believe in miracles, because you

can't make them happen. If it was about you making

them happen, you would be cool with miracles. Because you know, oh,

I can do that miracle. I can't do that miracle.

This is why you need somebody shout at me, faith,

shout at me faith.

You need faith.

Because you have to believe even if it doesn't happen.

This is where the believer gets into a quandary of

if you really.

Believe or not, because everybody believes if they see it happen.

The Bible says Jesus said, blessed to the ones who believe,

and they've never seen, They've never even seen.

What I could do. Today.

I'm asking you to believe God for miracles, and as

a believer, that means you have to walk in your authority.

Not pastor Mike walk in an authority, Jim Bob walking

in your authority, Sarah Beth walk in your authority.

De Kwan.

Walk in your authority, Stephen with a pH walk. The

reason why most people don't walk in their authorities because

they don't have the same definition of a miracle.

So let me give you a definition of a miracle.

A miracle is a supernatural event where God sovereignly circumvents

the natural order in order to do something extraordinary, show

his love and bring his name glory.

A miracle is a supernatural event.

That happened at the car wash, that happened at Albertson's,

that happened at the track, that happened at the gym,

that happened while I was on the phone with the

bill collector, that happened while I was in high.

School and home ed.

It's a supernatural event where God sovereignly circumvince the natural

order of things in order to do something extraordinary, show

his love to one of his children and bring his

name glory. Luke eighteen says it like this. What is

impossible for people is possible with God. And the reason

that I have to say this is because I'm building

your faith through the world right now because of life.

Watch this has made the losses.

And the hurt and the disappointment make you feel that

somehow God lost power.

The problem with the fallen world.

We live in is that our experience many times tries

to inform His existence.

And because our experience is.

Not always God did it every time, then somehow we

equate He's inconsistent with our inconsistent experience of life. And

I get it because how many of us have prayed

and it didn't happen.

Several times. How many of us tried and it was

like fail several times. How many of us lost the

loved one.

That was better than us, and we should have said

take me instead?

Why them?

And this is where you have to embrace watch this.

We don't talk about this in church a lot, the

mystery of God. In a world full of information and

explanation where you can chat GPT everything, the one thing

you cannot chat GPT is the creator.

Of the universe.

You cannot pinpoint him, make him do what you want

him to do.

Try to quantify where he.

Did it last time, like this, so one plus one

should equal too. Sometimes one plus five equals ninety eight.

And you sitting there trying to figure out show the

work He said, I don't have to because I created

the hairs on your head, and I need you to

know that your ways are not my ways, and your

thoughts are not my thoughts. Even your greatest thought is

not even at my lowest thought.

And until you trust ME.

With you, she won't be able to embrace the beauty

of not watch this having to know it's the original

sin that God said, there's some things I don't want

you to know. Adam and Eve, stay in the place

where you have faith like a child.

Just stay in the place that you believe.

You believe me you're going Bule.

If God says you're doing it, you should be like, man,

God said you're.

Gonna do it.

I don't know how you gonna do it.

What you gonna do it?

You know what'd say like.

It should be like if you don't come to.

God with childlike faith, the Parble.

Says you won't enter the kingdom.

There has to be a level of embracing.

My daughters when I tell them things, they don't try

to figure out how it's gonna happen.

They just start proclaiming that it is gonna happen.

You missed it, Dad, Are we going to Disney World

for Ja's fifth birthday? Why would you even ask me

that today? This was yesterday. I said, yeah, Bella, we're going.

She begins to proclaim around my house. She went, you

gotta get it. She has no idea how much money

I have in the bank. She has no idea how

much a flight from Tulsa to Orlando costs.

She has no idea that the.

Airbnb with the Disney theme bed that's hard.

She has no idea. She has no idea. The park prices,

she has no idea.

But as soon as she asked, are we going to

Disney World for Jia's fifth birthday?

She went and told us as to ever.

Guess what.

She believed it so much.

That she had to tell somebody.

And some of y'all are.

In a place where God has promised you things and

you don't believe it, so you don't say nothing about it.

But I dare about fifty people if you have had

a promise from God, that you would begin to get

faith in this moment to believe that my Daddy said

something and he's gonna do everything that he said. All right,

don't you start with that organ back there, doctor, Because

I got a suit on and my.

I got my roach stompers on. Today, you know, he

get in the corner, get it in the car today.

I believe God is asking us watch this. These are

the trades.

Somebody say, I need to make a trade.

I need to make a trade.

You're gonna have to trade to see the miracles God

wants to do in your life. You need to make

a trade. You need to trade explanation for expectation.

Today I feel like an oracle of God.

He arrested me on Friday after we wrote that song Miracles,

and he said, Michael, I need you to tell my

people to believe me again because I feel handcuffed by

their lack of faith. He said, my ability has nothing

to do with the economy right now. And some of

y'all have believed that you can't do what God's called

you to do because of something you have no control

over right now.

Well, the dow is down, the.

Dow ben day.

That ain't affect you.

You've been down yo now and don't even exist.

Yet.

You allow somebody else's fear where their trust is to

then affect you stepping out.

This is all a good time to start a business,

says who did God tell you to start the business.

It was a bad time for Noah to build a boat.

It was a bad time for.

Noah to build a boat until it wasn't until it

started writing everybody like, oh now you're never made.

I'm just saying, don't borrow fear. Do not borrow somebody

else's fear when God has called us to live by faith.

I'm not saying that you don't have fear. I'm not

saying that you don't have.

I'm just saying, please don't borrow somebody else's help. Mom believe,

but I can't deal with mine and theirs. So that's

why I have to trade explanation for expectation. If you

resolve right now, you will not know how and why

God does everything he does. And you just say, but

I expect something else is gonna happen out of this situation.

Either I'm gonna get a different perspective. God's gonna change

the situation. He's gonna use this situation and encourage.

Somebody else's faith. Somebody else is going to see me

suffering well. Okay, y'all don't want to talk about that.

Somebody else is gonna see me suffering well, and God,

I hate this. For the record, let me just say

I hate it. I put that on the roll. But

I will be faithful. I'm not walking away from this.

I'm not gonna curse you.

I may have questions.

I may ask you why we talked about that a

couple of weeks ago. If God's not offended by your

why why does this not happen?

Why haven't I not been able to do that? Why?

But all I'm telling you is expect What are you

gonna expect? I said, what are you gonna expect? Somebody's

getting it if it's just for you, baby girl, if

only one person gets it? Okay, So God is asking

us to trade explanation for expectation. What are you believing

God for? Even if you have no sign that it's

gonna happen?

No sign. Some of y'all need to pick out your ring. See, okay,

I'm just you have no expectation. You have no expectation.

If God brought the Man of God into your life

ready to rock and.

Roll tomorrow, you wouldn't know. Well, oh my god, you'd

be so stressing and other way on. Then right now

you got all the time in the world.

Go find your dress.

Y'all think I'm okay, somebody's hearing me and right now.

The reason why you wouldn't is because you don't want

to be disappointed.

But why would I do all this work and go

honey dressing Jess?

And maybe I.

Won't, but maybe you will. Where is your expect Some

of y'all need to go get a box and you

need to start getting ready to move.

Now.

No, No, there's practical steps that go with it. Some of

y'all need to give a bunch of stuff away. Some

of y'all don't even need to take that stuff to

the new house. God gonna bless you too much to

bring the trash you get. I don't bring the trash.

But maybe it's a stewardship thing.

Maybe God's asking you, like, yeah, you're you're moving two

years away.

Let's gonna take you that long to go through all that.

You're a horder.

You still got your dracksuit from nineteen nineteen. I'm just saying,

where is your expectation?

Watch this? Prove your expectation by your action.

There has never been an expectation that did not actually

have action with it. It's just an idea until there's action.

It becomes expectation when you do something. I don't got

no clients, but I got a business card and I

created it on Camba last night, and probably seventeen thousand

other people have this exact card, but it don't say

they name at.

The bottom of it.

And this phone I'm trying to give somebody fake to

go do something. Get your expectation up, but you got

to trade it for the explo How is it going

to happen. God, I don't gotta know that. God is

asking us watch you this to trade information for an

invitation into a miracle. So if you need information, God's saying,

don't worry about the details of this. I'm inviting you

onto a journey that's gonna give me glory and bring

you proof that I'm good. Come on, You're invited into

this journey of crazy faith, and there will be people

who look at you and be like, you are crazy,

and you'd be like until it happens.

The very thing that people mocked me for is the

very thing that has.

God has used to transform millions of people's lives, because

it's only crazy. The car was crazy until somebody was

driving on a street.

The plane was crat.

Commercial flights to space was crazy.

Until a year ago. Now Gail king up in space

for three minutes. I'm just do y'all. It's only crazy.

God is asking us watch this to trade explanation to expectation,

trade information for an invitation into a miracle. And he's

asking us to trade control for contentment. You will never

see a miracle if you have to be in control

of it. If you have to control the miracle, do

it on this day, do it at this time.

Doing it. It's not a miracle, it's your plan.

Remember, the miracle is a supernatural event where God sovereignly

circumvents the natural order of things in does something extraordinary

to show you his love and bring his name glory.

You can't be in control and get all of that.

And that's why I believe.

God is asking each one of us, if we're gonna

see miracles in our life, to trade our old doubt

for a new declaration.

Some of us have old doubt.

That we don't even speak on, and God saying, get

something new in your mouth. Life and death is in

the power of the You need to start declaring out

of your mouth.

What God has said about you.

I will see the goodness of God in the land

of the living.

Your life has been jacked up. You need to start.

Singing every day declare good Lord and God, I will

see the goodness of the Lord in the land of

the living. Something bad happens, Thank you God for another

day for me to see your goodness in the land

of the living. Today, Father, I thank you that everywhere

I go I am favored by Thank you, Father God,

that your word and your promises are to Father, I

thank you. With long life, you will satisfy me. And

so as I get on this StairMaster, don't let me die,

because with long life.

You what is in your mouth shows up in your life.

And some of us have not chosen a new declaration

because the truth of the matter is all of these

are summed up in this last one. God is asking

us to trade passivity for audacity when it comes to miracles.

All right, God, you know what I'm saying. If you

want to, you know what I'm saying, you could do

something here. It's your right as a believer to lay

hands on the sick and they recover. It's a part

of the deal for you able to have victory over

venomous situations. Stop being so passive around what God has promised.

This is how we're gonna end four things you must

disconnect from to see a miracle just for and I

I really feel strongly about this because I believe a

miracle is on the way for so many of you

right now.

I'm gonna say it again. I believe a miracle is

on the way for so many of you right now.

Somebody's faith this building.

I believe a miracle is on the way for so

many of you, and somebody's faith is being stirred to

actually believe it.

Right now. Your confession is changing, your thoughts are changing.

It's like, why did I stop believing for that?

You're gonna get back your belief for what God said

in your life. This may not be for everybody, but

I promise you it's for me.

See, let me be honest with you.

As my son is approaching ten years old in October,

God has given me some promises about my son, and

let me be honest about you, Like, let me be

honest with you. Is that like when you see slow progress.

Sometimes it feels like maybe God forgot what he said,

and then.

You start trying to get Let me say, I start

trying to give God excuses and be like, oh.

God is okay.

I just thank God that he's living and I just

thank God, Da da da.

And God was like, hold on, wait, what you don't

remember what I said?

Are you don't think I well God, I mean, I'm

just grateful that you.

Know this is good. You stop. You don't want to believe,

You don't want to believe that no more, you don't

believe that I can't.

And y'all, something shifted in me. It shifted in me

so strong that my belief for what God told me

from my son.

And I've never spoken it out loud.

Only my wife and a few close friends know what

I believe God is going to do. And it's not

it's not what everybody would think it would be. It's

what God told me he was gonna do. I'm not

in a pipe dream, but I hear from God and

I stay with him and I spend time with him,

and I felt like God told me some specific things,

and I am going.

To believe God no matter what happens.

When my wife's faith is withering because she's always thinking

about I can't die because if I die, I was

gonna take care of my baby. That's a reoccurring thought

that me and my wife have to battle with in

the confines of I'm being too honest right now.

I just it's how in the how do we?

How do we walk this thing out for real? And

I said, God, I will be found.

Believe in you even if you don't. Even that's what

the three Hebrew boys said. They told them they should bound,

and he said, we believe God will save us. But

even if he doesn't.

And I don't know if there's about one hundred people

that can get with me on this, but you gonna

believe God even if what you're believing fort doesn't happen

like you think it's gonna happen.

Even if he don't do it how I.

Thought he was gonna do it, I will believe God.

My wife got that tattooed on her.

It says even if.

That was her faith talking, she couldn't say it.

She's not gonna stand up and jump and shout. But

she said, I.

Gotta I gotta remind myself. So when I talk about miracles,

it's too real for me. This.

I knows everybody's life is perfect with roses.

And stuff, But for me, every day I'm reminded.

That I'm in need of God.

And so so if you're gonna see this miracle, I'm

gonna give you the fourth the Holy Spirit showed me

I had to disconnect from And I know if you

got to leave God, but I promise you this is

gonna deliver somebody and give them the ability to stay

the course. The first thing that you have to disconnect,

somebody say, disconnect, this is what you have to let

go of If you want to see a miracle the

way he does the miracle, you have to disconnect.

From the way he does the miracle. I got too many.

Examples to show y'all, but I have proof in the

Word of God that in Matthew nine twenty seven, when

Jesus wanted to heal to blind men, he just touched

them and their eyes were opened. But then in Matthew eight,

verse one, he touched and cleansed some leopards. So, okay,

the blind man, you touch them. The leopards, you touch them.

And the people were trying to get a formula. And

then in John ninety seven, this the one nobody liked.

He spit in mud. I'm just I'm just letting you

know what Jesus did. Okay, he took some spit and

some mud and he put it together, and the man

that he touched, he put the spit.

In the mud on his eyes, and then he told

that man to walk away and go wash. And when

he washed, that man got his sight. Now, I know

people were grossed out, but everybody was grossed out except him,

because he got a miracle that nobody else got. And

some of y'all are so worried about what the miracle

looks like that you would rather stay blind than allow

God to do what he wants to do in your life.

But I digress.

Now, y'all know that was the first time He did

a spit miracle.

Just I don't know if y'all read y'all Bible.

Because Mark eight twenty three is the one I got

in trouble folk because Mark eight twenty three he didn't

use no mud. You can go check it.

He just bring come here.

Now, I'm just like, what I'm saying is what I'm

saying is some of y'all all get it.

I'm an overcomer, you hear me. I'll take whatever the enemy.

I'ma jump that mug for the glory of God. Okay,

let me stop. I love my church can't watch this.

So what I'm saying is if you try to pinpoint

the way God does the miracle, you will be disappointed

and devastated because his mo o is to keep you guessing.

So if he healed it through finances last time, don't

look for us a six figure check to solve the issue.

It might be a counseling session. Did y'all hear what

I'm saying it was an environment. It was a move

last time where God did the miracle, and now you're

feeling unsettled again. You're like, oh, now I need to

go to La Now I need to go to Atlanta.

God said, no, no, no, it's not a move. Now, it's

a surrender. And when you try to get God to

do the miracle the same way, you.

End up putting yourself in a position to be disappointed.

And disappointment has taken out more believers than the devil.

Hear what I just said.

Disappointment has made more people walk away from the faith

than the devil has.

Because hope deferred makes the heart grow sick.

And what you need to disconnect from is the way

He did the miracles. Even in Luke seven he told

some people go, I'm praying for you.

You're healed.

And as they went, every step they took away from

Jesus they were healed. So today I'm asking you, if

you want to see a miracle, disconnect.

From how the way he does the miracle.

Second thing, if you want to see a miracle, the

second thing you need to disconnect from is where he

does the miracle. Could I tell you that most of

the miracles that Jesus did did not happen at the synagogue.

There are forty two recorded miracles that the Bible then

tells us that if all of.

The miracles Jesus did were recorded, it would fill up

every book ever known to man.

But the forty two.

We have in the New Testament, the majority of them

were done in the streets.

See, I like this.

I like this because Jesus was for the streets.

He was in the streets.

He was at people's house. He was eating at people's

house he shouldn't have been at. He was at places

and parties that nobody.

Wanted him to be at. His own disciples is like,

why are you talking to that? Thought? Y'all know what

I'm saying. That hole over there, why are you talking

to her?

That's what he did with the woman at the whale.

They came back from getting some churches chicken, and they.

Was like, why are you talking to her? It was

a racial issue.

Okay, y'all don't want to be real, all right. All

I'm saying is if Jesus does a miracle at the gym,

is it less holy than.

Him doing it at this altar? And church?

People are the ones that always have a problem of

where God decided to do the miracle. Oh God, y'all

go study Matthew Chapter thirteen, verse fifty four. But Jesus heals,

I'm gonna just read it. He returned to Nazaras, his hometown.

Where did he go? He went back to his own

hood where people knew him.

He hadn't done miracles everywhere around the world, But then

he went around people that knew him. He said, when

he talked there in the synagogue, everyone was amazing and said, dang,

merry boy.

Going at it.

Where you get this wisdom and power to do miracles?

And as soon as they recognized his wisdom verse fifty five,

then they scoffed at him.

Look at him. He's just a carpenter son.

And you know, we know Mary his mother, and his

brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas, all his

sisters live right here among us.

He's regular. Where did he learn all these things?

And this is Jesus' response, And they were deeply This

is what they did.

And then watched Jesus' response.

The people, because they knew him, were deeply offended. They

got offended because he had a come up. I mean,

let's just say he was not that smart as a child.

And he went away and spent time with some rabbis

and came to another level of education.

He goes back home.

They recognize his wisdom and they're deeply offended by his

ascension in understanding and communication. This tells us that if

Jesus had people who couldn't handle his come up, so

will you please don't be delayed when people who have

been around you in a season try to hold you

to that season because they don't like where you position

them in the new season.

Okay, I can't stay here. But because they were.

Deeply offended, look at the chain reaction.

They refuse to believe him.

It's hard to believe in somebody that you're offended by. Okay,

I can't even touch that. So watch Jesus' response. Then

Jesus told them, God dog it. A prophet is honored everywhere.

I can do miracles everywhere. I can help everywhere. I

can heal blind eyes everywhere. I can bring an atmosphere

of joy everywhere. I can change the atmosphere.

I can do this everywhere except where people are familiar

with me.

And it said and so he did watch this. This

is the miracle. Even in the place of unbelief. He

did a few miracles because it was a place of unbelief,

God Lee. If we saw a few miracles, there would

be a revival. Two people grow their arms back, one

person blind, eyes open. We wouldn't leaders church for nine days,

which lets me know God's ability was much larger than

their capacity. I just want to let you know, wherever

your capacity is, God's ability is bigger than that. And

many times we're trying to measure our abilities by his capacity,

You'll never be able to get there. He's always got more.

And that's why I need you to write this down.

Familiarity can fracture faith. For all those people who have

somebody special around them. I'm not saying special because they're

a platform, but you know God's hand is on their

life for something special, whether it's a gift, their ability

to talk, something that they haven't fully recognized, their ability

to incur, whatever it is, You've recognized it, protecting honor.

The things you know are special about people you know.

You never know they may be the key to a

miracle you need in a different season, And because you

saw them being late or spill their coffee or have

a bad relationship. You stop believing in what God put

in them.

Okay, I'm trying to help y'all see a miracle. Here

we go. The third thing you got to disconnect from.

It's not just the way he does the miracle or

where he does the miracle. You need to disconnect from

when he does the miracle. And this is probably the

hardest one is because all of us want it now.

JG. Wentworth, I got a structured settlement and I need

cash now called jay G eight seven seven cash. Now,

how do we know that maybe the best marketing in history?

White people, black people, everybody, we want it.

And do you know anytime you get something now, they

never tell you what you're forfeiting.

Do y'all hear what I'm saying to you.

Anytime a payday loan tells you they give you seven

hundred and fifty dollars before you get your pay check,

let me just let you know what they're not telling you,

that they're gonna take some more of your money. There's

always a cost to not being flexible on the timeline.

It may cost you peace, it may cost you relationships.

But when you allow the timing of God to be

in his hands and not yours. It changes the way

you interact with the miracle. I can't even go through it,

Mark three. Just go watch it.

But church people got mad because.

Jesus made a man's hand grow back.

On the wrong day. Can we let's think about it.

Seven days have gone by that none of them made,

but one was the Sabbath where they wasn't supposed to

do no work. My man couldn't do no work. See, y'all,

don't be thinking he didn't have a hand. I'll be

going through the practical stuff. Jesus comes and was like,

you want to be healed. My man was like, I

would love to have a hand. The Bible said, go

read it that the church people, the Sadducees, the Pharisees

were watching Jesus to make sure that he didn't heal

anybody on the Sabbath, and Jesus like, what's easier for

me to do, say this man is cleansing whole or

to bring his hand back.

Nobody said nothing. He was like, woo.

Man's hand was like ear, it's just how it happens

in my mind.

It says.

He looked around at them angrily and watched this deeply

saddened Jesus Like y'all don't want this man to be

healed because it's at the wrong time for you. Tomorrow

would have been okay, but not today. That's why I

can't stand when people try to keep people from church.

Somebody come in here with a mini skirt, just came

from the club and dah da da dada, and you

gonna talk to them.

About their dress? Look at her, You're so distracted. Where

were you? Do you forget what God delivered us from?

Well I never would have, but you ain't been through

what they've been through. How dare us? Well?

This is God's house, This is a hospital for humanity.

He didn't come to heal the wall.

That's like telling somebody who'd been shot nine times clean

yourself up before.

You come to the hospital. What we tell people to present, they're.

Best in the house of God. It's just where you

bleed out and let God heal you from the inside.

I'm sorry, y'all, I just that's where we're gonna see

a miracle. So you gotta disconnect from when He does

the miracle last one. If you want to see God

do some miracles, I can't tell you when they're gonna happen,

where they're gonna happen, the way He's gonna do it.

There's some things that I wish I knew, but I

don't because I.

Have to embrace the mystery of God.

But some things I need to disconnect from to actually

see a miracle.

This is the big one right here. Who he uses

to do the miracle.

There are more people that miss the miracle God wants

to do because they don't like the person he partners with.

Oh God, what if God's gonna use somebody you don't

like to bring a miracle that you desperately need. Oh,

some of y'all take it back, don't want it. One

thing you never gonna do is mess over me. You

sitting there in one hand. I all I'm saying is,

what if God partners with somebody you don't know. Your

favorite pastor may not be in the equation of your miracle.

The profits you listen to, or the Woman of God,

your small group. What if they're there as encouragement but

they are not an intricate part of the process of

the miracle you need? Will you accept the miracle even

if the vessel you have not okayed in your life.

Y'all remember Saul who turns into pall Like, I want

y'all to understand the gravity of who that man was

before he became the dude who wrote three fourths to

the New Testament.

He was a terrorist. No, y'all don't understand. My man

would wake up in the morning, make.

A kill list of Christians and be like, who we

kill in the day? Would go outside, kill them, come home,

eat dinner, do it again the next day.

He had a reputation. You know how some people know,

all that's the funny God. Oh, that's the guy who

plays sports.

They would a set of Saul, that's the guy who

kills Christians.

And you can go read it on your own.

But in Acts, the Bible tells us in Acts nine

ten that he has an encounter with God on the

road of Damascus, and it's such a powerful encounter that

he goes blind for days. He can't see. This man

is in a God moment. And then watch this verse thirteen.

The Lord tells this dude named Annius.

An Annius. He said, well, Lord, I.

Got an assignment for you, anything for you.

Lord.

It's so funny how we say we'll do anything for God.

To tell us what we're gonna.

Do for your glory. I ain't wouldn't do.

Shut up, No, you ain't heard what it is yet.

The Lord called to him in a vision, said an Annius.

He said, yes, Lord, he answered the Lord, telling him

go to the House of Judas on Straight Street, and

asked for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He's praying

right now in a vision he has seen a man

named Anonius.

Oh, oh, that's me.

Come and place his hands on him and restore his sight. Lord,

and a nice answered in verse thirteen. I don't know

if you have heard, but I have heard many reports

about the man from Tarsus that you are now referring to,

and all of the harm he has done to yo

holy people in Jerusalem, which would include me.

And he has come here with authority from the.

Chief Priest to arrest all who.

Come and call on your name. But the Lord said

to Anonius one word, what did he say to him? Go,

I'm not talking. I'm not going back and forth with you.

This is not a debate or a discussion. I need

you to participate in this man's miracle.

Now again. I want to just take this a little deeper.

This would be the equivalent of during the nine to

eleven time, God speaking to somebody to go pray for

Osama bin Laden.

In person. Not not from Afar, not Lord, such, not

a not he's a terror. Go to the go to

where he's at.

And put your hands on him and believe for the

scales so far from his eyes.

Do you know how much faith.

It took for Anonius to leave his You're talking about

crazy faith.

This is delusional.

But the Lord said to Anonaius, go this man, Oh,

my God, look how God loves us.

Is my chosen instrument. Even in his state of totally

walking against me, I still chose him. He is my

chosen instrument.

Oooh, that blesses me to proclaim my name to the

Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.

I had an international plan for this man, he said,

I will show him how much he must suffer for

my name. Then Anonaias went to the house and entered it. Hello, Hello,

is a saul here. Placing his hands on saw, he said,

watch the watch the language. Brother, I want you to

see that somewhere from his house. To laying his hands,

he had embraced that God was about.

To do a miracle. He embraced it so much that.

He relabeled him and he called him a brother, which

is customary people who believe the same. He said, brother, Saul,

the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road

as you were coming here, he sent me so that

you may see.

Again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he

could see again. He got up and was baptized, and

after taking some food to regain his strength, that man

went out proclaiming the Gospel, writing it down. So we

have scriptures today like I can do all things through Christ, who.

Strengthens med Like.

What would have happened if Antonius would have said no

to partnering with God, or Saul would have said, don't

put your hands on me. Worship team, would you come

up here and everybody that's here today today, I believe

God is going to begin to do miracles in your life.

I don't care what it is. It could be a

healing you need in your body. It could be something

that has to happen for your mental or your family,

or your finances. But this is the three things God

told me as I was praying. He said, Michael, tell

my people to make new declarations. He said, tell them

to declare. I see the miracle. Somebody say, I see

the miracle. God said, I need you to start declaring

it before you see it. I see the miracle that's

going to happen in my family. I see the miracle

that's going to happen for me and my fiance. I

see the miracle that God's going to do in my heart.

I will be able to love again. I am a

cold hearted, beautiful person right now, but one day I'm

gonna be able to love again. I can see the

miraclecond thing He's told.

Me to tell you and tell them. I speak miracles.

I can speak over people, over situations, and things can

begin to change. And the last thing he told me

is that I will sing about miracles. And when I

started to think about the greatest miracle, the greatest miracle

is salvation. I mean the fact that a God can

change my heart. A limb growing back is way easier

than changing a heart, especially how stubborn some of us are,

how set in our ways. But God's literally saying at

the greatest miracle, He's starting from the top down of salvation.

He said, built into that, I will give you all

these other miracles. But maybe you need to see it differently,

maybe you need to confess something different. And maybe this

message wasn't for everybody, but I believe it was for

a group of people that are a remnant, that are

about to see miracles in everyday life.

I'm not talking about once in every decade God does something.

I'm talking about literally. Do you know.

That the same disciples that I talked about a week

ago who tried to heal a young boy and it failed,

and because they allowed their faith to grow through it,

these are the same guys that later on the Bible

says that some of the disciples, their shadows would heal

people in one season. They didn't have faith enough to

see a miracle, and then they walked in their authorities

so much.

And I know for some of y'all this seems like

a fairy tale. Y'all think this is Disney. Well, that's

good for them. This is for you and for every believer.

We were in that writing session, I believe it was

Thursday or Friday.

Was it Thursday? Yeah, it was Thursday.

We had written some amazing songs for transformation worship that

are gonna come out later on this year, and we

were about to move into a whole nother vein and

the Holy Spirit I was just gonna let it happen

because Pastor Ronim they had plans and stuff was happening,

and the Holy Spirit, I mean, I was sitting on

the couch and it dropped on me.

He said, you need to open up space.

To rewrite an anthem, a declaration of faith for miracles.

And we've sang for years that I have faith to

believe part of that song, but the rest of the

song wasn't as corporate for everybody to just sing. And

I'm telling you, the Holy Spirit met us in that

little airbnb and the song you heard that they sang

just a minute ago, that song was given to us.

I believe for the miracle that has the starting you

of first of your faith being built up to believe

that my miracle.

Is on the way.

Whether God decides to do it today, tomorrow, or on the.

Other side of heaven, I know that He's good enough

to do the miracle.

And so to end this service, I'm gonna ask that

we worship watch this the God of.

Miracles, not the miracle.

This is where people get messed up. It's they begin

to think that the hand going back, or the eyes

being healed, or the person that does the miracle is

the one that should be praised in worship.

But we serve the God.

Of miracles, and so today all of this place, if

you're watching online, I believe that God is about to

start doing And this is what I honestly believe, and

I've been praying for all morning. I don't played this

song probably one hundred times since Friday. I believe that

God is about to do creative miracles. There are things

missing in your body, things missing in your chemical imbalance,

things missing in your heart. That God is about to

do creative miracles. It's not there right now, but you're

gonna begin to believe. And I'm telling you we have

proof of this. We have seen God do this before.

He is going to do creative miraals. God's going to

do restoration miracles where things that have been deteriorated. I'm

talking about from knee cartilage all the way to ear

drums being healed.

All the way to hearts.

You don't have to believe, but I believe that there

are seasons that God is asking his people just believe me.

I believe God is about to restore marriages. He's about

to restore relationships.

With fathers and mothers that have been breached and even

toxic that God's about to supernaturally start repairing through forgiveness

and admittance. I'm talking about stuff you've stopped praying for.

God's saying, just believe me, not the way I'm gonna

do it, not when I'm gonna do it, not how

I'm gonna do it, not where I'm gonna do it,

but that I'm the God of miracles. Men say it's impossible.

But have you heard about Jesus.

Some of you, there has been grieving that has been

going on in your heart because you miss somebody. And

God is going to supernaturally allow you to remember with

honor what God placed in your life, but not allow

you to be able to be stuck. Because the truth

of the matter is that God gave you them for

a season so that it would do something on the

inside of you that would make you know His love

even more. And I believe God is going to get

glory out of every loss, even.

Though it hurts.

There's a miracle of joy that's coming back to you.

It would be a miracle for you to be happy again.

But your miracle is on the way. Father, in this

place today.

Thank you for the miracle of salvation, the miracle of restoration,

the miracle of healing. Father, as we sing this song

again in obedience to what you told me as I

was praying, I can't do any miracles, God, I could

just believe you for them, and I thank you that

the spirit of faith would rise on the inside of

every believer under the sound of my voice.

Whether they're watching in prison.

Right now, if they're watching Father God on the rebroadcast Orf,

they're hearing me.

I'm the lobby right now. Can I pray.

For a supernatural intervention where you literally supersede the order

of how things are supposed to go and work on

behalf of your sons and daughters. We will have faith

for miracles.

Today.

Do it?

Only you can? Can Jesus stand?

Would you stand all over this place and let's worship

God together.

Smugly?

Then say it cannot be done. But I heard about cheese.

There is power in his blood and it works with

lowerries cheezs. They say it's impassible. Can I tell you

about cheese.

There is nothing dyignos.

If you want to receive Jesus, which is the greatest miracle, today,

I'm gonna say a prayer, and if you want to

make Jesus your personal Lord and savior, I want you.

To just say that prayer with me.

Now.

I t see everybody says the prayer for the benefit

of those who are coming to Christ. But this is

all about you believing. And the miracle that some of

you have been believing for is life transformation. And the

Bible says any man who be in Christ, he is

a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, a

new life has come. So if you want to make

Jesus Christ your personal Lord and savior, I just want

you to whether you're in this room or online, I

want you to repeat this prayer after me. Say God,

thank you for sending Jesus just for me. Today, I

admit I'm a sinner and I need a savior, and

I choose You Today. I repent and I turn to you,

change me, renew me, transform me.

I'm yours in Jesus' name.

because I believe if you need prayer. As the altar

workers come, there is going to be people who God

does miracles in with somebody touching you.
