Distraction By The Details // Death To Distraction: Week 7 // 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, Get out your notepads and your phones

and your iPads, and this one you're gonna want to

take a lot of notes on, cause I only got

two more weeks left in this series. I got this

week and I got next week, and that's gonna be

eight weeks total of us talking about elimiting eliminating distraction.

It's going to be eight weeks of God specifically talking

to us through his word and telling us to do

one word, which is the word of the year.

Help me say it. Focus.

How many people since we started this series have found

that in your life there's been areas where it's been

hard to focus? Come on, multiple areas. Come on, somebody, yeah,

uh huh, this is in two hands. Anytime God gives

a prophetic word for you to do something, it's because

he sees the future and some of us are coming

into new seasons where God is requiring another level of

devotion to him, and what that comes out to being

is We're going to have to eliminate distractions and focus

on Him. And so today I'm going to read Hebrews

twelve one and two, which is our scripture of the year,

and I'm praying that every time that I read this scripture,

there will be something that illuminates in your heart and

becomes revelation for you as I as I begin to

unfold what God is saying to us today, I want

to pray that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened.

I want to pray that you don't just hear me,

you hear him. I just want to pray that you

don't think this is a sermon for thirty five to

forty minutes. You think it's an actual blueprint of how

you're supposed to live this week. So can we pray? Father,

I thank you that you are here in this place,

and you are with every person that is listening, whether

they're listening on rebroadcast or podcast or in the room

while somebody else is watching. Today, Father, we are asking

for you to speak. It is my words audibly, it's

your words spiritually, and I thank you for hitting the

souls of your people. Speak. Lord, Your sons and daughters

are listening, and Father, I thank you for the Holy

Spirit that's in this room giving the cliff notes to

their life, to each person individually, I thank you. That

is not just me speaking, You speaking to them right now.

So illuminate, correct, encourage, comfort who you've always been tag

team back again in Jesus' name, We agree, Amen. Hebrews

twelve one. It says, therefore, since we have been surrounded

by such a great cloud of witness, let us star

off everything, every weight that hinders us or slows us down,

especially the sin that so easily entangles us. I just

always gotta stop here. Weights can trip you up, and

sin can trip you up. I want to be very

clear that the only reason you tripping is not sin.

Sometimes you're tripping over stuff that was not meant for

you to carry in the season you're carrying it. So

I just want to be clear. Everything not the devil.

Some of it is your willingness or unwillingness to let

go of old baggage, the weight that you are under.

Maybe men factured.

You might have picked it up thinking that it was

fashionable for your next season. But it's the very thing

that will keep you out of what God has for you.

I don't know who needed to hear that, but some

of y'all need to drop these bags off, okay, it said,

and let us run with perseverance the race marked out

for us. Somebody say, I got a race and I'm

gonna run it. How are you gonna run it? Fixing

our eyes? Somebody say, focus focus on Jesus. Fix your

eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and the perfector of my faith,

for the joy that was set before him. He endured

the cross, scorning its shame and set down at the

right hand of the throne of God.

Write this point down.

Fixing your eyes on Jesus gives you the faith to focus.

What does Jesus say about money? What does Jesus say

about relationship? What does Jesus say about anger? What does

Jesus say about forgiveness? Not what did your great uncle

Bobo say about forgiveness? So so many times we use

our cultural teaching as a blueprint, or our family line,

or our our the way we were raised, and we

put it in substitute of what God's word says. And

today I'm asking everybody to elevate the words of Jesus

above whatever you have believed, been taught and have said

this is just me because until you don't, until you

do that, there will be something in your life that

is very, very very easily distracted.

Okay, So today I was torn about what I was.

Going to call this message because I wanted to call

it distracted by the detour? Because how many people have

ever been on a detour in your life? One that

you chose, come on, somebody's like I ain't choose, and

one that was presented to you. How many people in

this room like detours. What happens to your attitude when

detours become your reality? Come on, does anybody like, oh

my god, detour feels great, excited about it? Don't worry

be thirty minutes late, called a detour. Most of us,

the detour eats us alive because you just got out

the house in just enough time to have to catch

two lights on gree y'all know, y'all be playing it

if I catch that fifty first light and then then

I'll turn around the coffee shop and I'll go to

back way you have planned precisely. But at the moment

there's a detour, something happens to our attitude at the

moment we hit a detour. Many times the detour becomes

the distraction to our destination.

Think about it.

How many times have we been going somewhere and now

by the time you get there, you mad and don't

even want to be there. Okay, y'all, gonna leave me

out here by myself, headed somewhere. Took you the wrong way,

the long way. You took a wrong turn. Don't do

it in Dallas, you miss a you miss one turn

in the DFW, Go home, just go home. Whoever just

signed Dallas for worth was just we We see we

reci day y'all. Anybody does being know what I'm talking about? Okay, y'all,

where are we going? And what ends up happening is

the detour exposes something on the inside of us that

usually leads us to a distraction that makes us forfeit

something at our destiny. So you went to meet somebody,

but now your attitude's all out of whack. So the

meeting that was supposed to be about collaboration is jacked

up because the detour took away your joy. And what

I've found out about our God through reading scriptures, God

likes detours. I got too many examples in the word

where God straight up tells people this ain't the easiest

way to go. I'm gonna purposely take you on a detour.

I'm purposely let you know them and not let that

be the connection that gets you there. Yeah, you grew

up with them, but that ain't the plug because I

am I know, I know your cousin could call the

one person who has everything you need. No cause if

I do it like that, you won't be even ready

to handle what's over there, and you'll think that it

was your association that got you there instead of the anointing.

And so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to

take you on a Now, how does your attitude look

when God takes you on a detour?

I would say for most.

Of us, it looks about the same frustrated, pouting, mad, doubting, complaining.

Come on, let's be honest in here. I was supposed

to be married by now, I'm supposed to be living

in that neighborhood. And every time you pass the neighborhood,

you're looking at those people in the gate, like, come on,

y'all can't even celebrate when other people win it because

the detour has sent you into a place of doubt

that maybe somehow God forgot about me, and maybe somehow

God didn't speak to me and didn't deliver me and

didn't bring me into this place. Why am I still

on this road and I can even see where I'm

supposed to be? You ever been on one of those

service roads that they do in construction and I was

supposed to be over there today? I would like to

introduce you to the concept that the detour might be designed,

and I would like you to potentially take a different

perspective on how you approach a detour, not that was

given by our foolishness. All detours ain't made the same.

Some of your details is because you really just dumb,

or excuse me, some of your detours it's because we

were just acting dumb. Y'all. Ever been in a relationship

that you knew was dumb from the beginning. You knew

when you typed out his name and your phone this

is a detour. You should have put him in the

phone as detour. Have you ever started a business or

worked out a job and you knew, like, why am

I doing this? But do do? Do? And you just All

detours are not made the same. But I am saying

there are some detours that you're following God, that you're

listening to his voice, that he's leading you, and he

still decides to take you on a journey that was

outside of what you thought. You watch this deserved. See

the problem with it is you don't think you deserve

the detour. Somehow, You thought because you give and because

you tie and because you read your word, that God's

always gonna take you the easy route. But when he

takes you the easy route, you end up at the place.

Watch this underdeveloped and the reason why most Christians are

deconstructing their faith and why they can fall by somebody

just batting their eyes at them, and why money they

get one hundred thousand dollars and now they're gone, They

are gone on the patron. They don't listen no more.

They can't hear, y'all hear what I'm saying. The reason

is because they were under development. And most of the

things that distract us is not because they're available. It's

because our character is not able to withstand them. And

so God many times takes us on detour to develop us. Okay,

y'all looking at me crazy, write it down. Many times

the detour is a part of God's divine design. I'm

gonna prove it to you with an Old Testament story

of the children of Israel, God's chosen people. You're talking

about the first people that God chose. It was God

chose Israel. He said, this is gonna be my people.

But because of their disobedience, they were put into four

hundred years of slavery because they was being done. Now,

I just want to let you know, God watch this

will sometimes allow your ignorance to be the thing that

puts you in captivity. Nobody wants to hear this, but

you keep playing with the stuff He told you was

a distraction. And what he does is he says, all right,

it's been my hand protecting you this whole time. You

don't want me to be your God. You don't want

to listen to what's happening. I'm not making it happen

to you. I've been holding it back the whole time.

But if this is what you.

Want, I'm still here.

I never leave you or forsake you. You can still

call out to me and I hear you, but I'm

not blocking consequences. When you continue to make that your

God okay. Exodus thirteen, verse seventeen. These people were slaves

for four hundred years. Moses comes as a deliverer when

Pharaoh finally let the people go. God, who did it?

I said, who did it? God did not lead them

along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even

though that was the shortest route to the promised land.

God said, watch this. This is the reason. If the

people went the shortest route, the easiest route, the route

with least resistance, and they were faced with the battle,

they might change their mind and return back to what

I delivered them from. The reason why God's taken you

away that is not conventional. It's to build something in

you that will be concrete, he said, Because if I

don't do it this way, you're gonna return back to

the thing that you prayed I delivered you from God.

Lea, So write this point down.

When God's not in it, the shortcut is short lived.

I just want you to realize that these people are

led by God. Bye. Who come on, y'all gotta talk

back to me, Bye who They were led by God

a long way, Because when God is not leading you,

the shortcut is short lived. Cause i'boke, what are you saying?

There was a battle. Either way, it was either gonna

be mental and emotional following God's way, or it's gonna

be with the Philistines. Take you the short way, you're

probably gonna die. Take you the long way, you're gonna

have to kill your flesh. Okay, I'm gonna say it

again because some of y'all missed it. If I take

you the short way, that.

Thing is probably gonna kill you.

If I take you the long way, you're gonna have

to continue to kill your flesh. God's in one and

God's not in the other one. You choose. The truth

of the matter is, if we really look at it,

the way was protection. I just want you to think

about your situation right now. Why I've been doing this

fourteen years and by now somebody should be recognizing my greatness.

And I know God told me to do this, and

I know God told me to do that, and I

know God he said it, but maybe he didn't because

now by this time, I mean by my calculations, he

should have probably. And what you don't know is six

six years ago the short way, something would have happened

to rob you of your confidence.

And this is the thing about walking by faith.

You do know what you get to see, but you

don't know what you get to avoid. If we could

all get to see what we avoided by trusting God,

most of us we would have a different attitude about

doing it. But this is why it's walking by faith,

because He says, go this way, and you complain about

something you don't know. It's World War crazy over here, okay,

verse eighteen. So God let them, oh my God, the

roundabout way he did the Dallas fort Worth Highway on

these people. So God led them the George W. Bush Way,

through the through the wilderness, towards the Red Sea. Which

why would you even why would you even lead me

towards something I can't even get across. You're leading me

towards something by my own standards. Why are you doing

these loofty loops with me? God? Why was I the

manager and then I was the workker, and then I

was a supervisor, and then I was unemployed. Now you

want me to be an entrepreneur, but now you want

me to get my time away and then you want

me to hear at the church. What's this loofty loop

you keep doing to me? He said, Thus Israelites left

Egypt like an army ready for battle. Write this point down,

and this really resonated in my heart as God gave

it to me. God's love takes us the long way.

It's his love that takes us the long way. It's

his love for us that makes us actually have to

go to counsel and talk about the things that happened

to us when we.

Were four years old. While I'm forty, it don't matter

no more.

That four year old still comes out every day, the

one that wasn't heard. That's why your kids can't get

a word in because you never got to talk. So

you're gonna make sure you use up all the words,

which is now perpetuating a generational pattern. And they gonna

be somewhere saying, my mama never let me talk, and

it's just gonna be the same thing, and God saying,

let me take you the long way. Come on over here,

let me help you go back and grab some things

and deal with some things and take some things away.

That's one of y'all couples is trying to go on

a honeymoon after this. I know, I know, Oh really, everybody,

everybody trying to go on a honeymoon after this. What's

y'all's name right there in the back right there? Yeah,

what's y'all's name? Carrying? Kevin and Mary? Okay, y'all stand

up for me? All right, listen, I want you to

come to the stage, but I just need you to

trust me and listen to what I'm saying. Okay, So

I want you to come this way and the stairs

to the stages over here, but actually I want you

to go right here and yeah, come on.

Yeah, walk with some urgency. Your shoes are nice, and then.

The hold on, hold on, hold on, hold and wait

wait wait, I know it would be easy to go

this way, but could you just go up the stairs

right there? Could you just? Yeah, just go up the stairs. Now,

help her up?

Now, she's in a beautiful dress.

Help her up. Okay, yeah, just go up the stairs.

Everybody's watching you too, all right, y'all. Stop y'all, y'all stop, stop,

stop stop, Will y'all come back down the stairs?

Yeah, that didn't make sense.

Stop. Does somebody have something for them right there?

Nobody has something for them?

Oh you have something for them right there? Yeah?

What they say that say?

One hundred dollars. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, Yeah, keep

walking down here. I want you to come to the platform.

What I desire for you to do is come to

the platform. But I just need you to trust me.

Keep coming back towards your seat. Come back towards your seat.

I know everybody's looking at y'all. Y'll, y'all know that,

right Hey, hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, don't go

back to your seat and look at him, he said,

woman stop, y'all gotta see a good man, he said,

woman stop. I think there's a point to this message.

But would y'all just kind of walk this way and

walk close to these people right here? Yeah? And yeah, yeah,

Now just go go towards the bat woman. Hey stop, stop, stop,

suttu stotsot talk. I think somebody has something for you

right there. Yeah, now walk, what'd I say? Another one

hundred dollars? Okay, now walk walk walk down there by

the robotic camera over there, And I just want to

inform y'all everybody's watching y'all. Make a left at the

woman with the jean jacket. Yeah, just make a left.

Come on. Yeah. The goal is to get to the

promised land of this platform and it don't make no

sense that they way back there. Hey y'all stop, Could

y'all grab each other and do a little dance right there? Hey? Hey, hey, hey,

that's beautiful. All right, stop stop, I think somebody has

something for you right there. You got something for them

real quick? Yeah, see, hold on, hold on, hold on,

hold on, hold on. At every stop, there's provision at

every moment you obey God, there's something you didn't even

know what's there? Waying? Would y'all come back the way

y'all already came, and some of y'all like, dang, this

is a long example. Your life is long too. Were

three minutes in and you thirty five years in not

obeying God? Yeah, come on? They ready, Hey listen, they

ready to stop anytime they like they prancing up here.

Come this way, Come this way, Come this way, Come

this way, come this way. I want you to come

to the platform. The reason I did this whole thing

is because I needed them to be an example of

what I believe God wants to do in our life.

He wants us to trust him. Yeah, yeah, come on

up here.

He wants us to trust him, and when you trust him,

he blesses you. On the way. But then there was

a promise that was worth every thing you went through,

that He's ready to give to you. But this is

the thing, what did you have to do? Listen? All

you had to do was what listen and obey. There

was no other requirement of them than to listen and do.

But yes, it was roundabout.

Yes, I could have gone from there to there, But

what would have happened is they wouldn't have gained the

faith to trust that at every stop God was going

to provide. And I'm just believing that this was a

prophetic sign for y'all's life, y'all's marriage, what God's gonna

do in you and through you, Church, I need you

to give God some place right now, every stop of

the way, Listen and obey. I love y'all so much,

God bless you all right? All right, all right, that's

a beautiful example. Will you live it? Because it was

God's love that took the children of Israel the long way.

And see, many of us we want full disclosure. We

want to know all the things we need to do

and should do. And God wants watch this full devotion.

You want full disclosure. God wants full devotion. I want

to know all the details. God says, I want you

to trust me. I need to know what happens next.

God says, I need you to keep stepping without instructions.

I'm trying to give you all the formula, because the

Christian life becomes a disaster for people who have to

have all of the details. And that's why I couldn't

name the message, the distraction of the detour. God said,

the problem, Michael is the details. He said, because when

God takes you the long way, it makes you frustrated.

So you start asking questions.

And when you start asking questions, you start asking questions

about details that you don't even need to know. And

because you start asking questions about details you don't need

to know, you think you have the right to stop obeying,

or stop moving, or stop moving forward because you haven't

got the answers you want yet. And this is where

many people under the sound of my voice are today.

They are distracted by the details. This is what happened

to the children of Israel. God delivers them from four

hundred years of slavery. They great, great, great greats were

in the same position. God sends Moses and Aaron. They

get delivered He literally walks two million people through a

dry land of an ocean. This mug is split open,

whales on this side, octopuses on this side, and they

walking through at the and then they get out of

this place. It's the long way. And instead of rejoicing,

Oh my goodness, I don't have to be in slavery

no more. I'm not addicted to that anymore. I'm not

chained by that anymore, what did they start doing? I mean,

if God was gonna deliver us, I mean, couldn't he

couldn't he have done it a different way? If God was.

Gonna, you know what I'm saying.

Take us out of where we were, it could have

felt like a an upgrade, you know, like I didn't.

Is this what y'all was expecting? Was this? This is

what y'all was expecting? Because I was expecting He had

already promised him to promise land, but he was trying

to get something out of them and get something into them.

I'm not talking about a fictional story.

I'm saying that anybody that's in a detour right now,

the reasons God puts you in a detail he or

or a detour, He puts you in that place so

that he can develop something and delete something. And many

of us are fighting what God wants to develop and delete.

And the reason he does this is because he knows

the version of you that you are right now cannot

sustain in the Promised Land. So he said, I gotta

develop this in you, I gotta delete this. And how

does God always start that with a disruption? Many of

you are praying that your life stays comfortable, and when

God disrupts, you act like everything going wrong. Some of

y else should start shouting when disruptions happened, because he

was like, oh shoot, oh suit, God is about to

take something I don't need for the Promised Land, and

he's about to give me something my d need for

the Promised Land. That break up, ah suit, He disrupted

my plan. That means that God, don't take away these

negative thoughts and habits that I have and give me

the people that I do need.

Y'all missed it.

I'm gonna start calling y'all the children of Israel. For

the children of Israel, he was trying to disrupt the

depression that they were in. He was trying to develop

their dependence on God, and he was trying to delete

the mindset of depravity in despair. What do you look

like going into a land flowing with milk and honey,

but you still have a poverty mindset? God said, y'all

would turn the blessing into a reason.

To kill each other.

So I gotta develop this poor, broken mentality out of you,

because I'm sending to a land that has just flows.

And I need you to develop generosity, and I need

you to develop, and I need you to learn how

to tell the truth, and I need you to know

how to follow my instructions. That's why God took us

the long way.

What happened to the children of Israel?

They got caught up in the details, And I wish

I could have just gone and told all of them

before the Promised Land, there's always a process, whatever you're

believing God for, there'll always be a process before the

Promised Land. And some of y'all are like, Okay, I

know that I hear what I'm saying to you, So

why are you so distracted by the details. Why did

you stop writing the book because you don't have a publisher.

He told you to write the book, He didn't tell

you how it was gonna come out. Okay, he didn't

tell you who was gonna fund it. He told you

to write it. We don't got nothing to fund yet.

Some of y'all be so bent on how it's gonna happen,

and you ain't even done the thing you can do.

Why no, I'm supposed to open a restaurant.

You don't cook for your kids.

What I'm telling you, Oh, tell let me say, let

me all I'm saying. All I'm saying is you don't

even practice no more. Y'all. Y'all got what I'm saying

like they gonna judge me when I'm a fitness influencer. Baby,

we got some years to go. Did you.

Let me stay on?

But how many times has God said something and then

we watched this? We use a detail as an excuse

to disobey. We use a detail, not that he just

delivered us, not that we just walked through a sea,

not that Granny Momo made it too. We didn't know

she could walk that far. She made it, y'all, all

the things we could, folks, He's someone, you know what

they focused on? It's dry out here? Why so dry?

Is anybody else thirsty? Anybody parched? My question to everybody

I want you to write this down. I really want

you to think about it. How many details do you

need to obey God? The truth of the matter is,

when I researched this in my own heart, and I'm

not saying this about you, but there's no amount of

details that God would give me that would change my position.

It would just give me more reasons to focus on

more details. If God would have told me when Bishop

handed me the keys to this church that there would

be a year that people would make up stories about

me and use the intention of me just trying to

help people to get it to turn me into somebody

that people said I wasn't even fit to be a father,

and people writing all these other things, and now I'm

a false prophet. Now I've just found out I'm a

part of the illuminati. Like y'all, there are some wild

stuff out here that like I missed that email. But

all I'm saying is, if God would have gave me

the detail of the roundabout way, he was gonna work

out some of my vain ambition. The movie couldn't have

come before the Wilderness, y'all. I'm talking about real life

right now.

He had he had.

To do that so that I understood the weight of

the moment that I was standing in when it when

everybody's saying, oh my gosh, you get to do this,

I said, I know what that means, and I know

what that cost. I know how many times I had

to pray. I know that I've been leaning the old

folks would have said, leaning on the everlasting love. It

was his love that took me the long way. It

was the preservation of my marriage, it was what I

needed for my kids. He took me the long way

because he loved me. Somebody got to hear me. He

took me that. He didn't give it to me when

I thought I needed it and I wanted it.

Because he loved me.

And it's only in hindsight that you can see the

love of God when he doesn't give you what you

want when you ask for it. The truth is many

of us are disobedient because of a detail. What are

you waiting on God to tell you he's gonna do

when he already gave you promised land. He's already given

you promising land instructions, and you still waiting on the detail.

The reason why this is important is because it costs

the children of Israel their literal lives because they would

not get past complaining about the details. I'm gonna just

show you a few of them, because many of us

were distracted by the detail of watch this drought. You

might be in this room under the sound of my voice,

and you are distracted by the detail of drought. What

do you mean past the mic? It ain't flowing like

I thought it was gonna be flowing. Oh oh, I

don't know about you, but there are seasons you walk on.

This is gonna be the best year of my life.

Anybody like, hold on? Where is everything? Where is everybody?

Where's the money?

Where's the love? Where is common sense? Where is anything?

Where is it? And I found out that seasons of

exposed where you point and focused to as the source.

The children of Israel were thirsty, they were parched, and

there was a drought. It was dry. God had already

delivered them. Exodus fifteen twenty two. It said, then Moses

led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea,

and they moved out into the desert, desert of sure.

They traveled in the desert for three days without finding

any water. So it's been three days of no water

when they came to the oasis of Mara. The water

was too bitter to drink, so they found water, but

it wasn't good enough for them to drink, so they

called the place. Look what they did Mara, which means bitter.

They named the place for what they had experienced. So

they are already summing up. This is the end of

what God's gonna do here. Be careful not to label

what God is still working on. I need you to

hear me say this comes in, I'll never been I

can't get it in Tulsa, I'm moving from this sea,

I'm this, And we start labeling seasons that are still

in process Verse twenty four. Then because they labeled the season,

their words had to follow it. After you label a season,

your words don't get positive about that season. Look what

they started doing. Then the people did what complained. And

then they turned against Moses, the very person that was

the big dog that delivered them from Pharaoh. Because they

were thirsty in a drought. They started turning away from

leaders who had saved them in different seasons. What do

we out, dream demanded, So Moses cried out to the

Lord for help. Hell, Lord, these people are thirsty At breathstink.

They're complaining, And the Lord showed Moses a piece of wood.

Moses strew it into the water, and this made the

water good to drink. Be careful that you don't turn

against your leaders in the time that you still need

them to lead.

Because Moses is better than a lot of us.

I just want to say, there are times where you

were like, well, I guess we're all about to starve

and we ain't gonna have no water, and we all

gonna die thirsty.

But he still had the presence of mind.

Listen to me. Leaders, even when the people turn against you,

even when your kids turn against you, even when your

family or the team turns against you, go to God

on their behalf, because there's an instruction that God can

give you that it will still seem crazy, but will

provide a quench thirst for those who follow you. Those

people got so happy and started drinking, but it didn't

stop the fact that they were complaining because the detail

they didn't know how they were gonna get water.

Now, it didn't just stop there.

They also get distracted, like we get distracted watch this

by the detail of desire. Now, science tells us that

we need water, but The truth of the matter is,

you can go a long time without eating and still live.

These people right here started getting hungry for the things

that they used to have. Their desires were starting to

take over.

Look at it.

In Exodus sixteen, verse two, it said, there too, the

whole community of Israel, watch this word complain.

About Moses and Aaron.

Can I just stop and say this when you are

distracted by the details, The dialogue is always complaining. This

is a way for you to reverse engineer an area

in your life where you have been too concerned about

the details. How much do you complain about it? Okay,

I'm gonna leave it alone. But some of y'all complain

all the time about situations that God has sent his

grace to sustain you through. And maybe we need to

shift the focus to something that we can be grateful for,

because complaining is the language of people who are obsessed

with details that they can't control and will lead to

their ultimate demise. Okay, oh God, it says, if you

if only the Lord, Oh my God, look how crazy

they get. They're complaining now about food, and they say,

if only the Lord would have killed us back in Egypt.

Whoa hold on wait a minute.

Now you think that your desire for this, or your

hunger for this, or your appetite for this being fulfilled,

it's worth more than you living. It said, they moaned,

and grown they it said. There we sat around pots

filled with meat, your slave, and ate all the bread

your slave we wanted. You're a slave. But now you

have brought us into freedom, into the wilderness, in freedom

to starve us to death? Who said that? Do you

see how many stories we make up when our desires

become our distraction. God left us We should have died

back there? No no, no, no, no no no no,

no no no. And this is the crazy thing about it.

Your desires will have you romanticizing about a bad past.

Did y'all see how these people started to romanticize? At

least back then, I know we was beat every day,

and I know that we was our hands was calloused over,

and I know our children were tooking, rape and all.

This other stuff.

But at least we had parts from me. I don't

act like you ain't never done that in a relationship.

I know he was abusive, and I know he didn't

talk to me right, and I know, but at least

I have somebody who cared about God moves you into

a brand new season. I mean, I know they wasn't

the best friends. I know they weren't the best people

to be around, but at least they was around. No, no, no,

I know he was there when I cheated on my

wife and he covered it up for me. And I

know that we you know what I'm saying, But at

least stop romanticizing seasons that were yours in bondage. This

little detail that you don't know right now got you

romanticizing and wanting to go back to being dead. You

got to give up the details. And then God provided

for him. He said, I'm gonna provide quill, and I'm

gonna provide manna every day he verse four. I'll just

read it to you, he said. Then the Lord said

to Moses, look, I'm gonna rain down food from heaven

for you. I'm gonna bring food from a place that

you ain't never seen it come from before. I'm gonna

provide sustenance from a place that you've never seen it before.

He said.

Each day, the people can go out and pick up

as much food as they need for that day.

Isn't it like God to.

Win he could give you the portion for the week,

he still only gives you the portion for the day.

That's why in the Lord's Prayer it says, give us

this day our daily braain. Why because he's remembered trying

to develop devotion. He wants them to come to him daily,

the same way God wants you to come to him daily.

That's why he gives you the answers you need to dang.

But he says, don't worry about tomorrow because were gonna

talk tomorrow. Right. No, no, no, no, this is not

just today for the month, for the week, for the year.

We're gonna talk tomorrow, right, my wife, don't have to

give me the plan for the whole week. As long

as we keep talking. He said, get as much as

you need today. I will test them, oh, in this

to see the see whether or not. Oh, God's a tester,

I thought. He said, in no Bible, he will not

test tempt you more than you can. Y'all need to

read the Bible that's talking about temptation. And he said

those things come from inside anyway. He says, so you

gotta deal with that. But he said, oh, I will

test you. I will see if you will obey my instructions.

That's the detail you should be worried about. He said,

I'm gonna test him to see whether or not they

will follow my instruction. On the sixth day, because the

Lord honored the Sabbath, they will gather food and when

they prepare it. I love that God never violates any

of his laws to provide for us because he didn't

work on the Sabbath. So he said on the sixth day,

I will make twice as much so they can have

for the next day. But that's the only day I'm

gonna add the extra provision because I'm a god of details.

The reason you don't have to worry about the details

is because God is a god of how many places

in the world does God say, I know the number

of hairs on your head? You trying to hold onto

forty six of them right here, and God says it's

forty three. You understand what I'm saying, Like, he's the God.

So why has children? Are we worried about details? Watch

this we can't change. If he told them I'm gonna

feed you every day, they were gonna be like, well,

what you feeding us? How do you know?

Because if you.

Read in there. They named it in mana. They had

a very real problem with naming their stuff based on

their attitude. Do you know what mana means? What is it?

God rains down provision from heaven and their response is

not thank you? What is this? Have you? Have you

ever had God provide?

And you ain't really like the way he did it?

So then you was like, what is this? But the

truth of the matter is most of us are worried

about the wrong. Ava come here real quick, Come here,

my baby. This is my daughter Ava, and I asked

her to do this before service. I asked her if

she had a couple of questions for her daddy, And

so I need able to come up here, and she's

gonna ask me some questions. Y'all give it up for

Ava as she comes real quick. Okay, come here, my baby. Okay,

all right, baby. Now, Ava had a few questions for

her daddy, and I want you to just say them

into the Yeah, you can read the card, and I

hope that I can answer your questions.

Just right here, baby, hold on, just reels to turn

her up.

Dad. What is the interest ray on your house?

You asked me, what's the interest rate on our house? Now.

I love the question, and I thank god you're inquisitive.

But that's a detail.

That is not for my daughter.

That's a detail that me and her mother have already

taken care of. What does it look like for my

seven year old to be asking me about the interest

rate on our home when there is nothing that she

can do? Do you understand what I'm saying to change?

Babe?

Don't worry about it. I got it.

Just ask me the next.

Question, dad, how you factored in gratitude?

Gratuity?

Gratuity for our family vacation?

Have I factored in gratuity for our family vacation? What

an intelligent question that has nothing to do with your

satisfaction on our vacation. She would be robbed of the

joy of the that me and her mother provided for

her if she is worried about the detail of the

gratuity factor, then for our family vacation. Some of y'all,

it's the tip, y'all. Some of y'all looking up right now? Gratuity?

How is there a are?

It's the till as ask me your last question.

Maybe when it when it is time for me to

get married, will you have enough money to pay for

my wedding dress.

That's a valid question. Depending on how this movie does,

we will see Nanja funny hear me watch it.

So she's never dated before.

Why is she worried about the detail of a dress

when she has a father that has provided everything she's

ever needed up until this point. What I'm trying to.

Get you to understand, can we give it up for

aver right now?

You did a great job, baby. What I'm trying to

get somebody to understand is that it doesn't make sense

for us to be worried about details. Our father, who

is detailed, is already prepared, worked out. How do you

know this pass? I'm like, because God told him I'm

taking you the long way so I can get you

to the Promised Land. He's so good that he gave

them the end. And that's why we have to look

at Matthew chapter seven, verse twenty five. Everybody go here.

Matthew chapter seven, verse twenty five. It literally says, that

is why I tell you not to worry about every

day life, whether you have enough food and drink or

enough clothes to wear.

Isn't life more than food for some of y'all?

Y'all can't even answer that question, and your body more

than clothing. Let me give you an eternal side. Look

up in the air and look at the birds. They

don't plant or harvest or store food in barns. For

your heavenly Father feeds still, And aren't you far more

valuable to him than they are? Somebody's spirit needs to

hear this. Can all your worries add a single moment

to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look

at the lilies of the field and how they grow.

They don't work or make their clothing. Yet Solomon, in

all of his glory, was not dressed as beautifully as

they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wild

flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow,

he will certainly care for I like to say, his masterpiece,

his workmanship. Why do you have so little faith? Why

do you think God doesn't care about the details of

your life? Why do you think that he's skipping you

over instead of refining you? He said, so, don't worry

about all these things, saying what will I eat, what

will I drink? What will I wear? And y'all know

these are just examples of details. I don't want you

to like, eat, drink. No, no, no, It's like where

will I work? What'sity will I live in? Where am

I going on vacation? How many people think that I'm fine?

This is real? How do I look today? Who's gonna

Who's gonna like my posts? He said, don't worry about

these Why because as believers, these things dominate the thoughts

of unbelievers. But your heavenly Father, he's detailed and already

knows what you need.

Today.

Guys.

I just I felt that there were so many of us.

That have been waiting for God to do something else

before we obey him, because we're wanting more details.

If you just tell me, I'll I'll do it. And

God said, if you just do it, I'll tell you.

If you just if you just do I'm telling you

who you think gonna win this? Some of y'all been

at a stalemates for decades. God, if you just confirm

it again that I'm called already told you you want

a prophet, an apostle, somebody who don't know you to

come and say this is the Lord I have called

you from the foundation. Yeah, that could happen, But then

when I did it, you still didn't obey. You don't

have prophetic words, you don't have drunk whinos. Tell you, man,

something different about you? Man, I don't know what it is.

By where are you? Just a light as a glow?

What other detail do you need? And the children of Israel,

they were distracted by the detail of drought. They were

distracted by the detail of their desires. And then this

is a big one, y'all. They were distracted by the

detail of the date. They thought God was gonna do

it quickly, and he was. It was supposed to be

eleven days. But because of their disobedience, their disobedience kept

dragging out the deliverance. The disobedience drags out the deliverance.

Yep, y'all.

Ever been somewhere and you know it takes a certain

amount of time to do something, and then you get

distracted or you have to pause it, or you told

somebody who's gonna be there at a certain time. But

this thing takes this amount of time. It's just until

you continue to do it, you can't get around how

much time it takes. And they were disobedient so much

so that when Moses went up to the mountain to

get divine instructions, He said, all right, everybody, time out.

Y'all just take a break. I'm gonna go hear from God.

I'm gonna figure out what we're supposed to do to

get into the Promised Land. Yes, y'all did the water

thing and complain twice. And then God brought water from rocks.

He did all kinds of stuff, miracles, huh, miracles, y'all

still complaining.

And then he quail manna from heaven. Y'all complain about that.

I was like, what is this?

But he still was good.

I had to pray a couple of times that he

wouldn't go off on y'all. But I'm gonna go up

here now, y'all gotta read the whole thing. I'm gonna

go up here now, I'm gonna hear from God. I'm

gonna get watch this divine details. I don't want you

to think God is not against details. He will give

you divine key del's watch this when you need them.

The only reason you need a detail is that God

thinks it's important for you to get to the destiny.

So he said, I'm gonna give you these ten commandments.

Come up here with me. I'm gonna talk to them everybody,

chill out, watch what happens. Exodus thirty two, verse one.

The title of this is the Golden Calf. When the

people watch this saw how long it was taking Moses

to talk to God and to come back down a mountain.

I don't know how many of you trek up mountains

and come down them.

That might take some time.

They gathered around Aaron, Come on, they said, make us

some gods who can lead us, because we're tired of waiting.

We don't know what happened. Look at this to that

fellow Moses. The fellow Moses, I mean, y'all literally took

him from the leader to like, we don't know what

happened to that fellow Moses. But that's what happens when

you allow the date to become a distraction. You'll start

looking at people that helped lead you through seasons, that

gave you wisdom at the moment you needed. But now

because they haven't been as close, because maybe they were

doing something to get a word from God or to

try to get something that God told them to do.

Now when they come back in, it's.

Like, who are you.

I'm the same one that helped you. So what did

these people do.

They were so distracted by the date that they started

building other gods, and some of us have done that.

We got distracted by a detail of a date. We

thought God wasn't coming to do nothing in our lives,

so we started making other things our focus. But we

built them. We used all the resources, all of our gifts,

all of our talents, and we built gods. Some of

your businesses are gods you built, saying it's not lucrative.

I'm just asking, is that what God told you to build?

Some of our families, we've built the idols. Not that

God didn't want you to have family, It's his plan

for humanity. But you won't even honor God and tell

your kids about Jesus. Some of us won't even make

our kids come to church.

Well, Billy didn't want to come. What excuse me?

I don't know. I know we all pairing differently, but

what it's like, what do you don't say that to them?

About school? Which I'm a witness that most things I

learned from the sixth grade to my six months at TCC,

I don't you. But the things that I learned about

who God was and what He's trying to do in

my life and is planning for humanity and my responsibility

and helping spread the gospel. That's important. These people were

distracted and ultimately last one. They were distracted by the

detail of delivery. They didn't like how God was delivering

them to the promised Lamb, so they decided to complain

about every detail they could not control and curated their

own devise. The reason I felt it was important to

say this is because in the year that God's telling

us all the focus, it would be very easy for

us to take a position of entitlement.

And be mad at God for the way he chooses

to deliver us.

And when you get frustrated that he brought me to Tulsa, Ugh,

why he take me from Why did I have to

give up? I gotta marry them? I mean, we do

have kids together. But what I'm saying is like, what's

what we got is deeper than the paper. No, I'm

I'm just saying like, I really gotta I really gotta

give up this substance. I've hit it so well nobody

even knows I can function. And this didn't change my

relationship with God. But sometimes I just need a little escape.

God's saying, I'm choosing to deliver you away that will

deliver you to the promised land ready, and these people,

unfortunately never get to see what God had already prepared

for them because they were distracted by the details numbers

fourteen twenty three. This is God talking. Now. They shall

not see the land which I swore to their fathers.

Neither shall any of those who rejected me see it.

What do you see in, Pastor Mike, When you were

distracted by the details, God has to find another generation,

telling everybody here today there are instructions that God has

given to you that you do not need to know

all the details to obey them. And today I feel

like this is your launching pad into destiny. You have

an example of a group of people that God loved

but would not change their ways, so that you can

see that's not my detail to be worried about. So,

Pastor Mike, what do I do? I want you to

trade all of your need, your desire for the details

for three things. What can I trade my desire for

details for number one? Devotion? What would have happened if

every time they would have started complaining everything like never mind?

He just delivered us to a whole bunch of water. Well,

I don't like you know what. Never mind.

This time last week I was getting beat upside my head.

No, I'm just like practical, you know. I hate the

you know what. Never mind, I'm taking my vote away.

If he got me this far, he must have a

plan for where I'm going. Huh Number two? What can

I trade my desire for details for discipline? Sometimes the

greatest thing you can keep doing is stepping. I don't

know what he's doing, but I'm gonna keep walking. The

discipline to stay on the path, the discipline to keep going.

Where the money coming from?

I don't know, But I'm going to work today and

I'm gonna have a good attitude and I'm not gonna

take it out on everybody else, and I'm not gonna

act like that. I'm gonna represent Jesus today and I'm

gonna keep walking, and I'm gonna keep doing what God's

told me to do. I don't know where the team

coming from. I don't know how it's about to happen.

I have no clue who's gonna be with me at

the end of this. But I'm disciplined to keep doing

the same things that have gotten me to this point,

and I don't have to have details to keep walking.

I would love to know if I'm going up a

mountain or I'm going in a valley. But you know what,

if I keep stepping, I'm gonna have to step down,

and I'll step up. And at the end of the day,

if I just keep doing the same thing. The word

disciple means disciplined one the last thing you can do.

I don't want you to see yourself doing this all

this week. If you have a desire to have all

the details, this is the other thing you can trade

it for delight. I don't need the details because I

have a God that's handling. Oh man, how good does

it feel to want to know but don't have to

Ooh God, thank you for helping me. Just trust you

who right now? I could be worried like a buck ready, dude,

and our hearty?

Yeah?

I oh, y'all better hear me.

But God, I thank you that I can delighten you,

that you'll stand with me, you'll stand for me. You

have my best and highest purpose in mind. Psalms thirty

four to four. This is where we end. Delight yourself

in the Lord, and he will give you the desires

of your heart standing all over this room. The beautiful

thing about this scripture and these scriptures, and I need everybody.

We're gonna go in just the moment, but I need

you to listen to.

This last part.

All of the things that you have a desire for,

all the things the children of Israel wanted. They wanted

to know the details in the drought, and they really

just wanted water. See, this was a type and shadow

of Jesus coming to the earth and answering all of

our questions. Because I remember there was another woman who

was thirsty, and she was at a whale, and Jesus said,

if you take a drink of me, I will give

you water and it will never run. Try. And he

saw those people and the children of Israel, just like

all of us, their desires would leave them. They were hungry,

they had an appetite. And Jesus tells us in the

New Testament, don't worry about that, because I am the

bread of life. And people who are worried about the date,

he said, don't worry about the day, because when I

come back, nobody will know the time or the hour.

He said, I'm standing outside of all of this and

people wanted to know how he was going to deliver them,

and he said, listen, I'll shin Jesus, and I'll even

make him relate to you, because when he was in

the garden, he didn't like the way he was being

delivered either. This is why we praise Jesus, because he

is one that has identified with all of our human emotions.

He literally says to the Father, if there's any other way,

let this pass. I don't want to do it like this,

but nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done today.

The answer is for us to focus on us. If

you're in this room and you know that there have

been things that God is calling you to do, but

you've allowed the details to be excuses or you've allowed

the details to make you disobedient. I just need you

to lift your hand today. I feel like I gotta

pray for you. Yeah, okay, I'm in the right room.

Put your hands down, because I'm about to pray for you.

And that there's another group of people in here that actually,

you've been in a place where the details have crippled

your belief and because God's given you some details, it

overwhelmed you too much. You said, I know who I

really am, and I can't do that if they find

out that I think these thoughts and I'm.

All this other stuff.

He gave you a detail, and the detail of what

God did crippled you. He said, you're gonna be on

a stage like that. You're gonna touch the way, not me. God,

I still look at I still have I can't. Today.

I believe God's going to do an extreme transformation in

your heart posture.

If you're in either one of those groups, could you just.

Lift your hands in a way of identifying and surrender

right now, online, right now, in the penitentiary, right now,

God's going to do it. Father, in the name of Jesus.

Today we come before you, Father humble, actually at a

point Father of desperation. Father God, we need you. We

do not want to miss the promised Land, whatever that

means for us. Father, we do not want to miss

it because we are obsessed about and distracted by the details. Today,

Father God, I thank you that you would divinely focus

on the other only one Father who lights our path,

which is Jesus God. I thank you, Father God, that

everything that we've put above you today, Father, I surrender,

I lay down the way, Father, God, I give it

to you and Father, under the sound of my voice,

every person under the sound of my voice. God, I

thank you, Holy Spirit, that you would divinely direct us, Father,

to be able to be focused on gratefulness of the season.

You have us in, Father, and obedience for what our

next instruction is. God, I thank you Father that we

will not be worried about tomorrow, because tomorrow has enough

trouble issues worries of it on Today.

You're giving us our daily bread.

You're giving us everything we need to make it through today.

And Father, when tomorrow shows up, you are God that

cares about us more than the birds and the lilies.

And they don't worry, so.

We won't either.

Today, God, I thank you that people will divinely move

forward and what You've called them to be, and they

will not be distracted by the detours and the details. Today, Father,

we will obey. Today, Father God, we choose to obey.

I speak against everybody's purpose who has been paralyzed. They

haven't been able to share the Gospel, haven't been able

to walk in their gifting. Father God, I pulled down

every word that has been spoken negative against their life

and their future, those words are no longer able to

produce fruit in their life. I thank you, Father God

that they will no longer be hailed by what somebody

pointed out as a detail or a flaw in their life.

Any man, any woman who be in Christ, he's a

new she's a new creature. Today, God give us the

ability to focus on you. I don't have to worry

about the details because you already handle them. If you're

in this room and you've never accepted Jesus, this is

your moment. I feel the presence of God in this place.

There are people moving forward after this message. There is

no more excuses because God's got all the details already

worked out. Just like that couple, Listen and obey. If

you've never accepted Jesus, this is your moment to listen

and obey. This whole service has been a drawing for you.

If you're watching online, the Holy Spirit's right there with

you today. The distractions are being removed so you can

make a decision. And the only decision to make is

for Jesus. He's the one that came into my life.

Healed me, redeemed me, transform me. I can't tell you

what he's done for everybody personally. But I know there's

thousands of people under the sound of my voice that

he's done the same thing. But I'm telling you my story.

He took me from a liar or manipulator, somebody who

was addicted to pornography, had very dark stuff in my heart,

was going nowhere, but he took me the long route

because of his love. Had he changed me, He transformed me,

He renewed me. And today God wants to offer you

that same thing. And all it takes is a decision.

There are people that are in this room and watching

online and you're saying, I don't know if I'm worth it.

You're so worth it because God literally sent his only son,

not one of many, his only son, because he thought

that if he could send a sacrifice, maybe you will

receive the free gift of salvation. Today is your day

and that transformation Church. We celebrate this. It's the reason

why this church is here, to let everybody know about

the good news and then to celebrate their new life

in Christ. If you're in this room or you're watching online,

you're in your home and you want to make Jesus

Christ your personal ordering savior. On the counter three I

want you to throw your hand up with energy and enthusiasm,

knowing that your life is about to transform, because Heaven

is rejoicing along with us already.

See a hand one.

You're making the greatest decision of your life too. I

see you up there. Brother, your name is about to

be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Three. Just

shuit your hand up all over this place. If you're here,

I see you. Come on, if somebody's around you, celebrate

right now. God bless you, God bless you. Brother. Come

on on your wedding day. Come on, let's do this

stick first commitment, new life. No matter if I see you,

God sees you and that transformation. In church, we a family,

nobody prays alone. Could you just lift your hands like this,

say God, thank you for sending Jesus just for me. Today.

I surrender and I give you my life. I believe

you lived, you die, and you rose again so that

I can live in freedom.

Today.

I give you everything. Use me, transform me. Yeah, knew me.

I'm yours in Jesus' name. Amen, TC. Can we celebrate? Oh,

come on, y'all, glory to God. Hey listen, if you

made that decision, we want you to text save to

Oh? My God is Transformation Nation. Welcome to the after party.

It's the part of the service where I get to

connect with you. You have been sending in prayer request.

The team has been harvesting the prayer request from the

live chat, and if you have a prayer request right now,

I want you to put in the chat. The team

is on live and I'm getting updates right now through

the telepromter.

I just want you to know that what God's.

Doing in all of us right now is something that's

so special, and every week that I can. I want

to come here and let you know we're specifically praying

and believing God that this will be the year of

divine focus for you, that every distraction that has come

to your life, all the details that are trying to

take you off course, that this will be the season

where God does something brand new and you will have

divine focus. So, if you have a prayer request right now,

I want you to drop it in the chat and

I want to pray for you. I want to pray

for your life and your family, and I want you

to know there's no distance in prayer. We believe that

prayer is our first resort, not our last resort. Do

you understand what I'm saying. It's our first response and

not our last resort. So right now, as we begin

to pray, I want you to agree with me. There's

over fourteen thousand of you on here right now, and

we're believing that God does something unique. We're believing that

God does something intentional and specific. We don't got to

worry about the details because He is all in the details.

So Father, right now we pray for Dahlia in Las Vegas.

We pray Father God that there will be financial freedom

for her and her family and everything that concerns her. Father,

for anybody else that needs financial freedom right now, that

is walking in a drought financially that needs you to

make a way out of no way. Father, I thank

you that you are the God that is concerned about

the details. And I thank you that we will listen

and obey what you are saying to us today so

that we can, Father God, see your provision in tomorrow. God,

I thank you for Steven and Dallas. Father, I thank

you Father that even as his friend is about to

go into chemo, we pray for Ricky right now, and

we pray for anybody else that is dealing Father with

the sickness or something that is on the inside. Father

God that is trying to take life. Father, we serve

you because you are a healer. We know it's in

your character. So Father, give the doctor's wisdom.

Do a creative miracle.

Father, do something Father God that is beyond Father what

the doctors can explain today.

Father, I thank you.

Come on, if you need it and have a family

member or you yourself are believing for a healing, just

lift your hands. Father. We send faith in the name

of Jesus to every person that needs a healing, and

we declare, Father that you are not just. You are

not just bound Father to us being together. Your spirit

is flowing throughout Father the Internet right now, and your spirit,

Father God, is touching people's bodies, minds, hearts and lives

right now. We pray for Angela who's in England, Father God,

and we pray that all the way in Luton. In

Father God, I thank you, Father God, that her husband

and her kid's Father God would be whole. In the

name of Jesus God, I thank you, Father God that

they can be together. Father, whatever is keeping them apart

right now, whatever Father has them in different countries, Father God,

her desires for them to be together. And I thank

you for any family that is, Father God, dealing with

separation or not being together. God, your design is that

family's Father God, would be the picture of your love

Father on this earth.

And so we just pray Father for the family unit.

Father, bring Father's home, Father, raise up Godly Men of God.

We pray right now, Father God, that the men of

God would take their place, Father God and be everything

You've called them to be. And we declare even specifically

for Angela, that you are going to answer her prayer

Father and bring her family all together. Father.

We pray for Christy in Virginia.

Father God, who has a family member, Father God, that

is addicted to a substance.

We speak Jesus over addiction in the name of Jesus.

Come on, Father, whatever substance, whatever peal, Father God, whatever fetish,

We thank you Father, anything that has been an addiction. Father,

I thank you that you're breaking those chains right now.

Come on, I need y'all to pray me God. We

pray Father God that every person that has some type

of addiction, Father would walk in complete healing and freedom.

In the name of Jesus. We pray Father God. For

Christella who is in Houston, FA. Father God, who literally

needs one more payment for her college to degree to

be funded. Father, I thank you, Father God that you

are gonna do that and you're going to send her

into her next Father. For her filming and the funding

for her documentaries. I thank you that provision is wherever

we go, that you lead us to and we will obey. Father.

For e Manuel in the Massachusetts who's having surgery on

ma Forth, Father God, I thank you Father that you

would allow there to be divine healing for him in

every area of Father, I thank you that his life

in the name of Jesus is not just being healed physically,

but emotionally. Father God, I thank you even for everybody

that's feeling down or depressed or heavy latent. For Antoinette, Father,

and anybody else, Father that has a cloud of depression,

we'd command it lift.

In the name of Jesus.

Father, I thank you that we will rejoice even in

this moment. And again I say, rejoice, Father, we have

good news, and we choose to focus on Jesus. We

love you, Father, and we thank you, Father God, that

we will not be distracted by the details, but we

will be devoted to You have your way, is my

prayer in Jesus' name. Amen, Transformation Nation, I love you

so much. I believe God is trying to focus us

for the promised land he has called us to, but

we got to obey right here this week. Make sure

when those details try to come up and distract you.

I want you to make sure you remember, no, I'm devoted. Nah,
