I’m Gonna In-Joy This // Receipts (Part 4) // 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.

To today's message, Welcome to week four of a series

we're calling somebody say show me the receipts. And the

whole premise of this entire message series is that if

we want fruit in our life, that God requires that

fruit to be produced by the Holy Spirit. When we

have these fruits produced by the Holy Spirit, it is

the receipt that we actually have relationship with God. There

are many people that go to church. We're across necklace

have a scripture tattooed on them that they have no

proof of relationship with God. Like I want to let

you know that having a big Bible on your coffee table,

you can still go to hell.

With that.

Praying never missing praying for your food, but cussing your

kids out, y'all know, because we get religious about specific things.

We never miss church, but we don't act in love.

No no, no, no no no. Don't call him a

fool because the Bible says if you call him a fool,

da and you you you got one scripture that you

focus on. But the peace, the kindness, the self control. Nope.

So when the world comes us to us today and says,

why should I believe your God, we should be able

to pull out everybody say, receipts called fruit that then

prove that we have a relationship with God. And so

every week we are going through another fruit of the spirit,

which is found in Galatians five point two. And you

can turn there right now and they'll be on the

screens in just a minute. But but this thing has

taken a hold of me in a different way. And

and and God has literally been saying, Michael, don't say

you know me, show you know me. Did y'all hear

what I just said? Don't say you know me, show

you know me. I believe sometimes when people get up

and say I want to thank God God, be like

y'all can keep that like keep that I don't want

to be associated with that. Think about it, y'all ever

had that cousin that's crazy or that uncle that's a

little off of center, And and and if you don't

know who that person is in your family, it might

be you. But but but there are certain environments that

you come in and they'll be like, now you go

no da da. On my Matthew, there you go no

da da And you be like, oh, I don't want

to be associated with something that does not represent what

I actually stand for. It's time for the church to

go to a whole nother level of being able to

show that we have a relationship with God, not talk

about it being in the comments. Tearing somebody down does

not show you have a relationship with God. Let me

get into this message Galatians five point twenty two. But

the fruit of the spirit is let's say it together, Okay,

put it on the screen so we could say these altogether.

The fruit of the spirit is love. Joy joy Joy

Joy Joy joy joy Joy. Chock chot chuck chu chuh

jo jo jo jo jo jo. Yeah. I've always wanted

to do that. Let's not go past the second fruit

of the spirit. When I thought about the actual lineup.

Because the Bible is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit,

written through men, it's infallible, so everything's in their own

purpose for a purpose. So when he was naming and

putting these and inspiring somebody to put it down, he

said love and that's kind of obvious because God is love.

For God so loved the world that he gave it

like it felt like, all right, love start number one. Love,

but out of every other fruit of the spirit, if

it was consecutive before self control. He wanted you to

have Joe before peace. He thought it was important that

you have joy, know that you are loved. But please

walk in And what has the enemy attacked most in

the body of Christ their love and their joy. Christians

don't look happy, y'all. Don't make living for God look attractive.

It doesn't seem like this is the better option. It

seems like your life is miserable, it sucks, you're enduring.

You hate anybody else that's having a good time with

their life, and you want to heaven. When you worship,

it's like when you fit get a deep revelation. Hey,

oh yeah, I min nine months should have bought Where

is the started to think about this in my own life.

And the reason why I believe that joy would be

the second thing God would put in there after love

is because watch this joy is strength. Y'all. Didn't hear

what I just said to you, okay? Neemiah eighteen. It

literally tells us that the joy of the So there

is a specific name attached to this joy, right, the

joy of the Lord would be our shrimp. So he said,

they need to know they're loved. But they're gonna need

strength to have self control. They're gonna need strength to

have peace under pressure. They're gonna need strength to actually

be patient on somebody. They're gonna need strength. So I

gotta give them joy because the joy of the Lord

will be our strength. And most of us have been

allowing ourself to be robbed of our strength. I don't

feel I don't feel like I can do it. I

don't got no more. I just I can't. I can't

take no more I can. And maybe you're on e

because you have not allowed the Holy Spirit to actually

develop joy in you. Again today, I'm telling you, in

the next forty minutes, somebody's about to get their joy back. No,

y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Some of y'all have

been enduring life. There is about to be a joy,

an enjoyment that comes on the inside of you. You're

gonna be smiling for no reason. You need to receive

this by faith right now that God is are going

to allow there to be joy in your house again,

joy in your marriage again. Y'all, don't hear what I'm

saying that if it's just for me and you, we

gonna enjoy this thing. Do you hear me? Okay? Because

the joy of the Lord is our I was watching

the Paris Fashion Week back in September, and I'll be

watching it because, honestly, I'd be liking to see how

expensive stuff looks ugly and like they call it kature,

and they'd be like, this is cature and it looked

like somebody like dying in foil and I y'all know

what I'm talking about. And one question that they always

ask these people is they say who are you wearing?

And these people will be like, I'm in Jean Valaisie.

It's about to hear and I'm like, wow, that looks amazing.

It's like I know, and they're like and then the

next person will come up and they'll say who are

you wearing? It was interesting to me they didn't say

what are you wearing? They were asking whose name was

responsible for what they put on? And I begin to

look at my life and I decided that I would

live in joy I would allow what the Holy Spirit

has given us to be the garment I put on daily. Okay,

some of y'all don't know yet because you haven't really decided.

What is your strength? Okay, I'm gonna just confront it

right now. Put it up on the screen. I don't

want you to be honest with yourself. Where does your

strength come from? Where does your strength come from? Now?

I know you said the Lord right now, because I

just told you a second ago, that's where it should

come from. I didn't say where it should Where does

it come from? Because for some of us, my job,

my career, it's my strength. Think about it. When you

walk in a room, how do you introduce yourself? Oh

my yeah, yes, I own my own company. I'm an

entrepreneur and made seven figures the last two years in ruin.

What's the question you need to ask? If it's gone,

do you still have joy? Because some of us, our

job is our strength as long as I got that job.

But the reason if I go a little deeper, it's

really not the job that is your strength. For some

of y'all, it's the money. The money that you get

is your strength. Who are you without no money? Because

that's who you are. Because some of y'all, the only

thing that relieves stress for you, the only thing that

you think brings you joy is shopping. Y'all know that

Amazon court open right now. If you swipe off on

your iPhone right now is the Bible app and then

Amazon's right there. You got your cart full of stuff

that you have no money to buy or watch. You

do have the money to buy it, but it don't

fill you up cart fulls so empty. What's your strength?

For some of us, our spouse is our strength. And

I'm not talking about the unhealthy way. I'm not talking

about You shouldn't depend on each other and you shouldn't

be in it together and the tube become one. But

let them veer off in their faith. And what do

you do? Well? I know this is you know what

I'm saying. We're supposed to be one, so let's be

one and wrong. I've seen it happen hundreds of times.

We used to be on fire for God. But you

know he got burnt down on the churches, so I

got burnt out in the church. And now we're into

is the substance your strength? Come on? It was for

an injury and it helped you through a season, but

it made you feel so good that you kept going.

Now you're getting prescriptions from people that don't even share

your bloodline. You turn it up on Fridays. I'm a blackout.

I ain't even gonna remember my birthday. Why would you want? No? No, no,

Why would you want to put yourself in a position

to not own because you're living a life void of joy.

I want to remember everything that has happened to me

because I actually am living a life full with joy.

But if joy isn't your strength, the joy of the Lord,

you will begin to look for it in other things.

And so today my title of this sermon is called

I'm gonna enjoy this. Somebody saying I'm gonna enjoy this,

say it with faith. I'm gonna enjoy this, But you

missed it. I'm not just talking about having a good time.

I'm gonna do this in See, what I'm wearing right

now was not the original intent of this outfit. When

John helped me pick out this outfit, he had a

different vision in mind. I came up here presenting that

I was fully clothed, but there was a piece of

this outfit that was missing. I did not put on

the jacket of joy before I came out here, and

y'all would have let me preached this whole message and

never known that I was supposed to be in something else.

See this right here was the original and tip for

this outfit. From the beginning, I've been worried about how

my booty looks and knees. The little thing keeps right now,

the tie keeps coming out at the bottom. I've been.

I've been. I've been fully conscious of what I had

on because I didn't have on my full covering. But

y'all don't hear what I'm saying. But what was provided

for me before I even walked out here was a

jacket full of joy. See what am I wearing? How

am I deciding to go through trial and tribulation? And

how am I I gonna raise them kids? How I'm

gonna walk through this hard situation? And they walked out

on me and talked about me and the reason I'm

not gonna go slash state tireds it's because I live

and I need somebody who's deciding to put on the

garment of joy to give God a shot of praise

in this place. I will live in. It was a

decision I had to decide to put on what was

provided for me, what was Taylor made for me. Well,

I had to decide today to go and put on

what fit me perfectly. This was designed for my body.

But it would have been away from me had I

not decided to put it on. And too many believers

are waking up every day and deciding to lead joy

in the closet. But today somebody's gonna decide to live

in joy. Somebody just said, joy looks good on you.

Look at your neighbor and tell them, joy looks good

on you. Come on, come on. They've been mean, mugging

all surface. But just speak by faith. Speak by faith.

Joy looks good on you. Yeah, smile, even if you

bought all your teeth, smile right there, Come on, give it,

go ahead. Let me tell you what the definition of

joy is. Oh, I feel this thing. Joy watch. This

is an internal disposition of long term contentment. Joy is

an internal disposition of long term contentment. The reason I

didn't put joy on the outside of this is because

Joe is an inside job. I can't I can't. I

can't go out wearing that. It has to come from

the and and and and I know that this is

a little confusing because as a child, we're taught the

value of happiness. They're doing, won't you be happy?

Happy?

We're gonna be happy, happy, happy, like all the songs,

all the things it talks about happiness and and the

reason is because happiness seems very simple to understand, but

it actually is a cheap counterfeit for joy. It's not bad.

I want you to be happy. Some passes, get up, Berryer.

We don't want you to be happy. I want you

to have joy. It's like, I want to be happy

and have joy? Can we do both? Please? And I

think you can. You just you're just realize that one

can't hold you. Write it down like this. Happiness can help,

but happy won't hold you. Happiness can help you, but

happiness will not hold you. Any college students in the

house right now, like currently in college right now? College?

Any college students? Okay, all right, which one of y'all?

I want to pay This is what I want to do.

I want to cover somebody eating for this whole week.

If somebody you you she I didn't hear she cried

out me. I heard a cry from Okay, come here.

Let me come on, y'all, y'all, cheer y'all. Somebody's gonna

get blessed. I know it's I know it's hard. Just

come on right up here. I know it's hard for

a student out here. What's your name, sweetheart? Anayah? Where

you go to college? To you all right, shout out

to you, all right. I want to cover you eating

for this whole week. So here we go, seven days

in a week. Here we go one, two, three, four, five,

six seven. I mean, cherish these and anytime that you,

you know, when your stomach is just right on the

verge of turning on the inside out and eating another

part of your body, throw one of these in just

to what No, no, no, just to snack on them. No,

this is this is what you're gonna eat this week? Now,

How foolish do I sound? Offering her moments of happiness.

But this won't hold her at the moment where she's hungry.

When she bought an asks that she's gonna be like,

oh God, that feels so good. Forty five seconds later,

right after track practice, oh, because you have something to

do that you need to be fueled for. You run

trapped this wouldn't be enough. This would make you happy

in moments, but not have the sustenance to fill you

up to actually be healthy. This is what happiness looks like.

Is good, It tastes good. A Snickers is good, But

only eating snickers constant immediate moments of sugar hets will

create something in you that could kill you. Diabetes is

inevitable if all she eats for the next fifteen years

are small pockets of happiness. Oh y'all, don't hear what

I'm saying, baby girl. I'm gonna give you three hundred dollars. Okay,

so you can eat this week. Okay, that thank you

for not slapping me when I gave you these snickers.

I appreciate you. God bless her. All right, mos, gonna

get you taken care of. God bless you. What I'm

saying to you is, if that's what you want to

settle for, you can, But let me give you something

better than happiness. Somebody say I'm gonna live in so okay,

all right, all right, all right, all right, all right,

all right, okay, So if you're doing it for happy,

you're gonna get disappointed at some point. If you're if

you're marrying because she makes you happy. I don't know

if I'm gonna get through this message. All the married

people over five years will tell you there's some days

that happy not even on the menu. And I'm looking,

I don't know. I'm looking in the in the cheesecake factory. Men,

you and I slap you, cuss you. That's all on

the meaning, but happy can't even find it, got to

write it in so so I'm just trying to help you.

If you're looking, if you're only marrying them to be

you're gonna get disappointed. Watch this one. If you're having

kids to be happy, little gonna make me happy? Look

at me and look zu zoo, look at it, Look

zu zu. Y'all knowing people, they ain't hold about you

like this. A little y'all know what I'm talking about.

Look at them. I got my Golla two at three

years old, a little zu zoo. Parents will tell you

kids make you happy like zero point six percent. I

mean in the scheme of things you okay, if you're

starting the business to be happy, I'm just trying to

let you know that happiness is not bad. It's just

not going to be long lasting. If you want to

feel something. This is why people jump from bed to

bed because they haven't found joy inside of themselves, and

so they go from happy to happy, happy to happy. Okay,

let me stop because some of y'all came with them.

All Right, here we go. I'm on another level today.

All I'm trying to tell you, having lived a little

bit of life, is when happy stops holding you, it

feels like hell. This is why people turn to stuff,

They say, because I can't. I've tried happy and this

won't keep me. I can still be depressed and be

in happy moments. This don't hold me no more. So

I gotta go to this, and I gotta go to that,

and I gotta go to them, and I gotta get

more success, and I gotta be more and I gotta

get more Instagram followers, and I gotta because happy is

not holding me no more, and it feels like I'm

living in hell. Can I give you a better option

that was provided at salvation through the Holy Spirit. Ah,

It's something that can be developed in you. And the

world didn't give it, and the all folks would say,

and the world can't take it. I'm feeling good. Somebody

shout at me. I'm gonna enjoy this, okay, And see

right now, some people are getting agitated because this message

let you know how far you're away from joy. Like

I'm talking right now, and you're like, what does this

have to do anything? Teach me to wire or teach

teach give me some deep revelation so you can still

be mad and angry, like I just want everybody to understand.

People be like, oh that's milk, dad, I want some Dave,

I want no, you want to be confused. Some people

equate good preaching with confusion. I'm not playing. Oh my god,

what are you talking about? All you talk about the

osmos and the cosmos and how the cosmos went to

the Dosmos you won't shut up? And the scripture that

talks about somebody that can rule their mouth. I don't

want it to be deep. I want it to be doable,

because until we can lift this thing out, we gotta

talk about how much we know Jesus. Instead of showing people,

somebody say, show me the receipts. So I was looking

up how you can differentiate joy and happiness, and they

gave three factors that helped you, like be able to

actually conclude whether you were functioning in happiness or joy,

And it really just jacked me up. And I could

preach this for like three days. It said, the way

you know is it's the difference in source, depth, and duration.

So I said, hold on source of happiness, depth of happiness,

duration of happiness. So I began to look at it,

and I said, the source of happiness is situational. So

when I'm in a good situation, it's good. But the

source of joy, watch, this is salvation. So I want

you to know where is the source of your joy?

Where do you get it from? Do you get it

when somebody buys you a new pair of shoes, that's happiness,

Because somebody don't buy you a pair of new shoes

every day, so when they do, it's like, ah, I'm happy.

I'm not saying happy it's bad. I'm just letting you

know that it's happiness. You don't actually have joy. But

if you have been saved by grace, and you was dirty, fifty,

jacked up, and nasty, and God still said them, I'll

leave the ninety nine and I'll pick that one right there.

And while you are yet sinning yet in the thing,

planning for it, he died for you. If your joy

comes from knowing how good God has been from you,

it's actually joy, depth, happiness. Watch this, it's shallow, while

joy is deep. You know it's joy because this was

before me. There's no way I'm preaching on this stage

right now without God speaking to Tommy and Brenda Todd

to come to Tulsa in nineteen late seventy, nineteen eighty

one and helping them, helping Carlton Pearson start higher dimensions.

But it went before them. The thing that I have

is something deeper than what I could even connect myself to.

God wants to give you the ability to be a

part of history, or say it a different way.

His story.

He said, I was writing this story all the way

back to the first Adam. This thing that you have

should be so deep. It's connected to something that all

you have to do is receive. You couldn't even make

this up, but many of us shall settle for the

shallow thing. And the last thing is duration. You know

that it's happiness. If the duration, watch this is immediate. Woo,

that was good. But joy the duration is watch this eternal?

What's longer than eternal? He said? I want to give

you joy that lasts through every government structure, every kingdom,

every president, every hurricane, every natural disaster. I want to

give you something that you can have when you're single,

when you're married, when you're divorced, when you get married again,

when they die. I want to give you something when

the children are babies. I want to give you something

that you can have when they're adolescents, when they leave

the house, when they do what you say, when they

do what you don't say. I want to give you

somebody shout at me joy, because most of our joy

watch this is really just happiness uneducated. When you actually

graduate to joy, it's like happiness with a PhD. It's

like I can get the same feeling, but it don't

come from the same place. And when I saw that,

I realized, putting on this jacket today, I'm trying to

say something super simple that you can live out. Putting

on this jacket today was a decision. I am preaching

to you in joy. Tomorrow when I wake up, I'm

going to put on I'm not a matter of fact,

I'm not taking it off a there is a there's

this idea that when I go home, I take off

the fruits of the spirit, I can really be my

That sounds like the vision to me. That sounds like

you're not one person. It feels like you might have

some spirit personality, spiritual demonic kind of stuff going on.

Because if you come here one way and then you

go home and be another way, which one do you

want God to heal? God does not bless the you

you pretend tobly, He blesses the real. I would rather

you come in here ratchet, jacked up, judgmental, crazy, so

God can heal that person. Because if you learn how

to be a professional Christian, you become desensitized to the

move of God. So the spirit can be moving, but

you're so used to switching face that you can huld

up out, scatter out of about side and then bust

somebody in the face and you're disintegrated. You're not together.

And God wants us to be one, unified, the same person.

And that's why we have to decide every day. I'm

putting myself in a position to live in shaw Okay, okay,

I said it earlier, but to write it down as

a point. Joy is an inside job Psalm's fifty one

verse ten Joy is an inside job. David at his

lowest moment. He had literally had been with Bathsheba killed

her baby, daddy and her husband. Oh, y'all the Bible juicy.

My man is in like he already already took care

of Goliath. His name is on all the billboards. He

successful by man's standard. But he walks away from the

purity of what God wanted in his life. And he's

in a low place. And in Psalm's fifty one, look

what he prays for me, a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me, which tells me

that at one point he was there, at some moment,

this was in him. He had a pure heart, he

was steadfast in his spirit. But he said, he said,

could you renew in me? Would you put it in

there again? Somebody say renewed. I believe that today some

people are for the first time in a long time.

It's about to be a renewal. There's a spiritual reset

that's about to happen in your life. He said, do

not cast me from your presence or take your Holy

Spirit from me. Why would David's prayer be, don't take

the Holy Spirit? Like I know, i''m jacked up. I

know I messed up. I know I lied, I know it,

But please don't take me out of your presence, and

please tell him to stay here with me. It might

mean that the Holy Spirit and the fruit he brings

is more important to the longevity and the actual nourishment

of our life than we act. He said these two things.

Please don't take me out of your presence and let

your Holy Spirit stay with me. Here's the key, restore

to me. What is it saying the saw? Why would

he say renew me? Don't take the Holy Spirit and

please restore the I've been doing this outside of joy.

I've been pairing it outside of joy. I've been going

down this career outside of joy. I've been ministering to

people with no joy. I've been praying for people with

no joy. I've been making this money no joy. God,

please restore to me the sort of what hold on?

Did we just find the location of joy? He said,

Please restore to me the joy of my salvation? But see,

I just said it wrong, because I always be saying

my salvation because that's what church people say, and that's

what I heard first. But then when I started reading

the Bible, and I even heard my mama say it

right there, and it just came in me as my salvation.

But look what it says for real, Restore to me

the joy of You didn't die for me, and I

didn't die for me. I get the jacket of joy

at salvation Taylor made for me because he died, I

get to live in this and he said, restore. Could

you please bring me back to the place where I

was tailored. Would you please put me in that place

where you can fit me again with joy. I know

when I was younger, I used to have joy when

it came to seeing people do things that I didn't

do well. But now all I see is anger that

you would let somebody else have that and not me.

Would you please restore to me the joy? Write it down.

Salvation is the source of joy. I'm trying to break

this down so you never get played by the enemy again.

Through the Holy Spirit, Christ provided a way for you

and me to live in period. No money in the bank, Enjoy.

They cussed me out, Enjoy. You evicted me from my

apartment that had roaches. Anyway, and I told y'all six

weeks ago, cool, no, God bless you, no, no, no,

Because I know God is working all things together for

my good. I don't see it right now, and I

really do want to go back to my knock if

you buck days, and I really do want to find you.

And I know where you live. You see C six,

C six, I know that's where you live. C six.

You live in the bartment right across the street, Toyota Corolla. Right,

y'all crazy, I know, y'all know, y'all be, But I'm

decided I digress. The Holy Spirit's working in me, and

I'm deciding to watch this, stay enjoy. It's not enough

to just live in joy. You have to. And I

found this. I got to close, but I found that

all the people who don't live in joy usually live

in judgment. A sure way to judge your own joy

is to see how judging you are. If somebody gets saved,

that was wild'n out, and you think things in your

heart are saying out loud, like I wonder how long

that's gonna last. You might not be dressed in when

you sixty two people down in the comments talking about

that's no scripture and he's a liar and a false prophet,

and this that and the third you didn't think to

pray for me once you've analyzed how much all my

jewelry costs and where I get my hair done and

how many cars that I have, and you ain't prayed

for me one time out here on the front line.

You are, Oh, I know what you did. You took

off joy and you put on judgment. What's wrong? Why

are you're acting different? Praise the Lord, everybody, Glory to God.

I wonder how long this service gonna last? Where passing

Natalie at? Where's she at? Is she here today? You

ain't say it out loud, you said it in your heart.

And the crazy thing about it is judgment is always

noticeable on the outside. This thing stinks, and so do

you the Holy Spirit. This is a this is this

is produced by the flesh. And you think I'm making

this up. But if you go up from Galatians five

twenty two and you go up to Galatians five nineteen,

it lists a whole bunch of things that are a

work of the flesh. There's another spirit that is at

work and you and it is a work of the

flesh and one of those that is stuck in there.

And it's one that the church misses a lot because

we focus on the sexual immorality. You're doing it. No, no,

but there's one in there jealousy because judgment is that

you see on outside is usually fueled by that's scratched

on the inside. That's why people can't celebrate what God's

doing that transformation church. I'm gonna say it no matter what, y'all,

I'm sorry. We need to do an uncut of this.

The people in the commons aren't aren't unsaved people. This

is what believers look like. Well, if why told us

the judge you are coming with a critical spirit. It

says to go to your brother. Go oh, y'all forgot

that part of the scripture. You won't even hit me

in the DM. You gonna put it. You you put

a five paragraph but you somehow think that you're representing

the King of kings and the Lord of lords. There

are people who are walking away from the faith because

they see people were mad when I've when when somebody

that literally changed thousands of people's lives in culture, calling

Lord lives when they needed a place to actually heal

church people were telling me I should throw them out

of the church, and they have no place. Where the

hell do you go if you need to be transformed.

Where the hell do you go? I'm sorry, we gotta

end this message. I'm taking off judgment. Matter of fact,

I'm ripping this thing. I'm throwing it out of my

life and I'm choosing to live. And if you go

live and joy, give God a shot of praise in

this place. Oh, I feel my help coming on. Okay.

Until the church learns that our shrift comes from joy,

we will be void of the power. We need to

actually go and love our neighbor, to actually stand in

hardship with somebody, to actually have peace under pressure. I'm

begging you church, take off judgment, stop being jealous, because

if you don't, it just creates the vision unity where

is where there's a commanded blessing Church. All I'm trying

to get you to do is this one concept. Decide

that you will live in You gonna get a jacket

this week, and somebody gonna put joy on the inside

of yr. Huh do you hear me? Somebody say, Andy,

somebody's gonna actually hit a jackie. You say, you know what,

I'm gonna put on a piece of tape and you're

just gonna uh huh. That's gonna be our thing. This

week Transformation Church, y'all step a picture and text me, ah, yeah,

because we are choosing by faith through the Holy Spirit

to live and all right, all right, let's go when

you get home. Psalm sixteen seven. Read this whole thing

because it bless me. I'm just gonna reverse eleven. Okay,

because we gotta go. Everybody stand up, we gotta go home.

So I'm sixteen eleven. It says, you make known to

me the path of life, and you will fill me with.

Joy.

Hold on, here's another location of joy. Though joy has

found out salvation. And if you need to be filled

up in joy after salvation, you find joy in His presence.

Why do we worship for twenty five to thirty minutes?

Because if your whole week has been hell, all I'm

trying to do is get you into His presence so

that you can get joy, so that you can have strength.

How we gonna make it another week. I get into

His presence so that I can get joy, so that

I can get strength. The equation why I wake up

in the morning and spend time with God is because

to raise these kids, I'm gonna need strength because everything

in me wants to leave him outside but what I

need to do right now, y'all, come on, now, what

I need to do right now, it's worship God, get

in his presence so that I can find joy, so

that I can have strength. And the sad truth about

this whole thing is many of you have been blaming

the devil for stealing your joy. He does not have

that power. That's his aim. But he can't steal your joy.

You can give it away though, John ten ten, the

thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy.

That's what he's trying to do. He's trying to steal

your joy, trying to destroy your joy. But he can't

because Jesus, he said, I can't. That you may have

hold on. No, no, no, read it in the Amphibid. It

says that you may have and in sure life hold on.

I'm gonna mess with your theology right now. So maybe

you're not just supposed to endure life. Yeah, they're suffering. Yeah,

there's hardship. Yeah, there's things that suck. Yeah, there's things

I wish would never happen.

Yeah.

I have questions why do bad people get this and why? Yeah,

But the whole reason that Jesus came was in contrast

to the devil, so that we could enjoy life and

have it in abundance to the full till it overflows.

My last point I want you to hear me say.

Is living in enjoy allows you to enjoy life.

Many of you can't enjoy life because you don't live

in you think enjoying something. You can enjoy stuff without Jesus.

But when you live in joy, it allows you to

get the full expression of what God meant for things

to be in. I found it. I'm gonna give this example.

It might be controversial, but I'm gonna just say it anyway.

People hate on Lebron and I understand, I'm not understand.

There's different eras, and there's different things, and there's different things.

But the one thing that I found out in comparison

to the person that he he is goaded against, is

one of them does it with a noticeable joy. One

of them last has handshakes with his teammates and brought

all of his homeboys who were broken, made a millionaires

in and and like there has a school and gives

back and like it's like there's this level of ensurance.

And people hate that he enjoys his dream coming true.

Think about the type of sick you have to be,

and I'm not maybe what Maybe you do end up

with less championships. But when I watched the other guy's documentary,

nobody close to him was in it. Scott, I don't

care if we can fight later. I'm just saying. One

of them brought his high school coach who cut him

to his Hall of Fame speech to basically say, I

told you so, this is public non so I'm not

making up nothing. This is stuff that it just doesn't

seem like. Even though you got all the rings and

all the things and all the like, did you end

I would hate for us to get to the end

of this life. Got millions of people say, and your

kids didn't enjoy you. We filled the renals, but you

were a void of annointing. You didn't. This is why

for me, like everything that God blessed me with, like

I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy. I know what people think

a pastor's supposed to be. He didn't make me that.

He knew what the stereotypical looked like. That ain't your boy?

So everybody can't rock with it? Did you see his car?

For some reason, God bless me outside of this poolpit.

I just gotta say some stuff. You're not gonna make

me feel bad for enjoying my life. I'm going on

vacation several times in one year because y'all stressed me out,

and I'm gonna look at my wife in a bathing

suit and it enjoy it. And what I'm telling you, y'all,

I'm telling y'all, y'all not going on and see the

religious part of you right now has built up that

something's wrong with that. But until you live in you'll

never be able to enjoy. I just want you to

evaluate its joy missing in your life, because if it is,

I can help you find it. Today. David, pray, restore

me to the joy of my salvation. If you have

never been saved, today, you are going to get joy

by being engrafted into the kingdom. I need the church

to start praying. Some of y'all needed this message because

it's not what you could gain, it's what you've been missing.

You've been missing joy and the only way you get

joy is through salvation. If you're in this room, there's

gonna be two older casts. I don't want anybody to

move real quick because this is very, very, very this

is about to be transformation. I feel the presence of God.

If you need to get this jacket of joy today

and take off the jacket of judgment and you can

watch this, you can be saved and choose to put

on that jacket of judgment. If today you want to

take that off and be restored to the joy of

your salvation. On account three, I want you to lift

your hands. Restoring, repenting, renewing in Jesus is the only

way you get enjoyed, and today is your day of salvation.

It's the thing that took me from being a liar,

a manipulator, addicted to pornography, had very dark things in

my heart, was very judgmental, thought that everybody was worse

than me, and I was doing the same thing everybody

was doing and worse. But I had a shadow over

my eye to see my own failures until Jesus took

the veil off of me. And today I want that

same thing for you. If today you want to make

Jesus Christ your personal lord, hall save you or renew

your relationship with him. On the count of three, I

want you to lift your hands, and I want you

to do it, not with your eyes closed and nobody

can see. Because we're gonna have to live this out

in front of people. So let's go ahead and start

it now. Everybody's like in secret and no in front

of everybody. I see you, ma'am, and I'm so glad

that you made that decision.

One.

Come on, I see you, two, I see you. Lift

your hands all over this building. There's a renewed transformation

your in church. Let's praise God. I see you, I

see you.

I see you.

I see you, ma'am. I see you, brother. More than

I see you, God sees you. Now. Now those hands

are up. Everybody put your hands up. Yeah, because nobody

prays alone that transformation church. That's a family, and I

want us to pray together. Say God, thank you for

sending Jesus to give me joy. I declare my life

will never be the same after this moment. Today. I

believe you lived, you die, and you rose again with

all power just for me. Take my life, change me,

renew me, transform me. I'm yours and I will live

in joy all the days of my life in Jesus' name. Amen.

Can we turn up right now and celebrate all over

this room? Holley LOUI, y'all now listen. Hold on, y'all

starting to move. Wait a minute, hold up, because today

I don't just believe people need salvation. Today, somebody needs

an impartation. You need the Holy Spirit to come alive

on the inside of it. I don't want to go

through six weeks of telling you about the fruits of

the Holy Spirit and you only acknowledge God the Father

and God the Son. Y'all know there's a third one, right.

It's God the Holy Spirit, not the junior God. Not

to play God. It's God the Holy Spirit. And today

I just thought, if it was me, I wouldn't want

nobody holding out on me to allow me to receive

the Holy Spirit. And somebody has maybe got this twisted.

The Holy Spirit is a person. I did a whole

teaching on it called the Upgrade that I want everybody

who wants to know more about the Holy Spirit. I

want you to go to YouTube this week and watch it.

It's called the Upgrade. But listen to me. I want

you to understand there's a difference between having relationship with

the person of the Holy Spirit and actually walking in

the benefit of the gifts he brings. The Church has

played us by thinking the only proof that we have

the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues

is a benefit of having relationship with the Holy Spirit.

But you can have relationship with the Holy Spirit without

speaking in tongues yet, And what I'm saying to you is,

I want you to speak in tongues when I'm not

on this mic, and it's not everybody. If you come

to Wednesday night prayer, you better believe has the mike

is in here. I see say bah bah blah blah.

I call me machine gun mic on Wednesdays. But I

know my audience today that I'm speaking to people far

from God. I'm speaking people who know Him, and I

want you to understand what I'm saying. But what I'm

saying is speaking in tongues. Paul writes that I speak

in tongue more than all y'all. He said, that's where

my strength and my power comes from. So I'm saying,

we believe in that. But I want to destroy the

myth that you cannot have because people say, are you

filled with the Holy spirits? With the evidence of speaking

in tongue, we don't need evidence. By speaking in tongues,

the evidence we need or the receipts we need that

are from the Holy Spirit, our love, joy, peace, patience, kind.

That is proof. If anybody wants evidence of you having

the Holy Spirit, how do you have peace in the

middle of a situation today? If you want to watch

this at salvation, you get the Holy Spirit. Jesus even

told this is I have to do this pastorally because

I don't want us void of power to tell you

all this and then you go home and get beat

up by the enemy because you don't have the power

to actually do this would be pointless and it would

be malpractice. Today, there are people in here that I

want to let you know that the Holy Spirit watch

this needs to be released in your life. You don't

need to receive them. You already got him. If you've

got salvation, you need to take them out the closet.

You need to listen when he speaks. You knew when

you say something told me that's the Holy Spirit. The

Bible says he will lead and guide you into all trouble.

He told you to put the phone down and don't

call her. That was an intuition or the stars or

the universe. That was the Holy Spirit. Don't turn this way,

turn that way where this today read this scripture. Jesus

said it was so important that we got the Holy

Spirit that he needed to die. Do y'all remember that.

He said, it's better for y'all if I go, because

when I got only one God can be on this

earth at a time. So God was here at creation.

Jesus was here for your salvation, and the Holy Spirit

will be here for your navigation. Did you hear what

I just said? He said, you need me to go

because I did his finish. But if you want to navigate,

you need the Holy Spirit. And if you've been trying

to lead love through business, try to kick that addiction.

Try to stop lying without the Holy Spirit. You're playing

yourself because our natural man can't do it. If try hard, worked,

we would all be better. But today, if you want

to release the Holy Spirit in your life, I'm gonna

ask you to make a bold step. I don't care.

Listen to me, this how serious I am. I don't

care if you're on Transformation Church staff. No, I don't

care about your status. I don't care about who people

think you are. I don't care if you sing worship

in here, don't sing the last song. Come to the

altar because I want you to be endued with power

so that you can actually live this life out. If

you want to release the Holy Spirit in your life

anew and afresh, get down to this altar right now.

If you are at home, I want you to stand up,

take a step. I see you, my sister. Come on.

This is not for anybody spectating. This is for God

to see and I want you to be here. Anointing

fall on me, annoyntye fall me, Come and lift your hands.

Let the power up the Holy Ghost. Can you move

those stanchions. People are gonna need to be there.

Fall on me.

Come on, I need y'all to come close. Annoy anointing full.

On me.

Bro, Will you sing that? I want you to sing

the come on, hands lifted all over this place. Fall

you can park that camera, move those steps, move the stanchions.

People are gonna have to be all over here.

Yeah, oh me, shoot yonamas have yeah, fall only ninety

noighty all.

Okay, everybody listen to me that's at this altar and

everybody that's watching, Okay, look at me taking all of

this halt. This is not weird, This is not scary.

This is not spooky. This is not a meme. This

is not something that you have to try to justify

and and and try to make people understand.

This is what.

Jesus left for every believer.

Don't leave your power on the table. Some of you

are going to get the benefit of speaking in tongues today.

It's going well up in you and out of your mouth,

out of your Belly's gonna flow rivers of living. And

you're gonna be like, if somebody look at it, don't matter.

I'm gonna speak with you. They're gonna be prayer warriors

around here, and you're gonna say, well, it doesn't is

this right. It's not right. It's yours. It don't gotta

be right to nobody else. It's yours. It's the language. Well,

what tongue is this? It's yours. And I know they

don't do this on Sunday morning no more because they

want everything to be politically correct. But I don't want

you to live this week without power. I can't do it.

I can't keep reading your dms and your messages and

your emails, and I'm saying I can't do nothing for you. God,

somebody can pray for you, but the Holy Spirit can

empower you. I need you to have a relationship with

the Holy Spirit. How you gonna put down the weed,

how you're gonna put down the alcohol, How you're gonna

stop being jealous? The power of the Holy Spirit. People

say it's the Holy Ghost. That's fine, it's another term.

But he's a person. Yeah, and watch, I'm telling you

this because I needed it explain to me because I

wasn't about to. I didn't want to lose control and

start da da da da dah. The Holy Spirit won't

do nothing to you that you don't allow him to.

He's a gentleman, he says, though I stand at the

door and knock, And for many of y'all, he's been

knocking at the door for years, and you keep saying,

hold on, hold on, hold on, Holy Spirit. Let me

clean some stuff up, and you close the door and

you go live your life. Holy Holy Spirit up. Give me,

give me until give me until Christmas. And he's saying,

what you don't understand is when I come in, I

come with a cleaning crew. You can't clean it up.

You it'll be infested over over again. But he's saying, today,

let me in. When I speak obey you. Some of you.

The Holy Spirit has been speaking to you, and you've

been thinking it's like like God up in the sky. God.

That's been God, the Holy Spirit. And I want everybody

that's not understanding fully to go back and watch that

series the Upgrade, because I break it down for like

ten weeks and I want. But what I'm telling you

is you can receive today. Well, my mama ain't filled

with the Holy Spirit, but you will be. And your

mama may not know what to do, and something comes

out of you. You're the youngest person in the house

and be like, Mama, I think we need to go

talk to that man. He don't know our business. I

just feel something telling me we need to go tell

that man our situation. You don't know. God had already

been talking to that man that there was a family

he was supposed to bless with something. Y'all don't know how.

The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into places

and situations and he will lift Oh my God, he

will lift the heavy burden. The word that Jesus gives

the Holy Spirit, it's the paraclet, it says, the one

who comes alongside to help you. Some of y'all want

a business partner, You about to get one. His name

is Holy Spirit. Some of y'all need a financial adviser.

You about to get one. His name is Holy Spirit.

And guess what, you can't lie to him? He no anyway?

How do I leave this church? I ain't never done

this before? How did I write down crazy faith stuff?

How did Holy Spirit? And then he proved it so

that I would trust him more. You wasn't crazy, You

heard my voice to move. You wasn't lost. And some

of that has been distorted by religion. And today we're

praying like David purified my heart, placing me a right spirit,

restore me to the joy of my salvation. Would y'all

lift y'all hands all at this altar and at home? Oh,

I feel the presence of God. I'm going to pray

a very simple prayer that was prayed over me and

throughout this moment. In this week, the Holy Spirit is

going to become more real to you. Father, Thank you

that your Holy Spirit is in every person right now.

Today we release the Holy Spirit to rule, reign, change,

transform and produce fruit in my life. I will not

restrict what you want to do. Give me all you

have from me in the name of Jesus, Fheil of God.

Field it field it from the inside, from the inside.

If somebody right now, everybody who has a heavenly language,

I need you to begin to speak in it. In

this room, we're about to feel this place come on

all the night. I'm explaining everything, so anybody who's confused,

we'll explain it all. But I need you to begin.

There's an atmosphere and if there's something on the inside

of you that you feel that it's about to come

out of you, let that thing out real and on

my sea kale, on my soul shell, on my soria side.

Power power, power, power, power. Father, you told the disciples

to wait in a certain place, and that place you

wouldn't do them with power. You would give them power,

power to live, power to walk right, power to change,

power to put it down body yah my soul totally

on myself. I declare there be a surge of powers

all over through the internet. Father, everybody watching on YouTube,

everybody watching on rebroadcasts, for the babies, for the college students,

for the high school students, for the middle school stuwardents.

Father Restorm, I'm thinking that there's a fresh wind, a

fresh fire, a fresh burning Holy Spirit. Come yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I need y'all to play. Come on, help me, Holy Spirit,

Come see my get my mama, Mike lovedya myself. Holy Spirit. Come, oh,

I feel this. Holy Spirit. Come heal, delave, deliver, transformer,

set free, Holy Spirit, come sit, Come on, whatever's in

your felly.

Let that thing out. He's feeling you.

He's just healing you, he's delivering you. He he's breaking

generational patterns. Holy Spirit, come, Holy Spirit, feel cleans cleanliver

that free showing shut down, don't y'all, y'all. Yeah, it's

gonna come out in your love. It's gonna come out

in your joy. It's gonna come out in your peace.

Yeah yeah, people are being feeled. Yeah, at a whole

other level. He's already there. Let him free. Let it loose, release, release, release, take.

The best explanation is in assault. And this is what

we're gonna do all week. Some of you, it happened

right there, Yeah, tears of now hear me. We're not

gonna grieve the Holy Spirit by putting things that will

block guard your atmospheres, because we gotta make sure that

this thing is real. And some of us want it

to happen a certain way. And I'm telling you right now,

the Holy Spirit is somebody just everybody look at me,

say the Holy Spirit. The Holy is freeing me. It's

freeing that's a fact. When you just decided that you

were gonna invite him in, you need to know, well,

where's my evidence? It's about to come out. Fruit takes

a little bit to actually develop, y'all. Don't hear what

I'm saying. Somebody say the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit's

freeing me. You go see it tomorrow when you're able

to live and show ye. You go see it. When

somebody does something, you'll be like, why do I want

to respond?

In love?

That is the Holy Spirit. But there's a part of

a song that has challenged me and given me the

meter to see the Holy Spirit keep coming a new

and afresh in my life.

It says, let us speak, come moralwhare of your presence.

Let us six speederies the glory of your good.

He's already there. Let's let's be aware.

Let us speak, come more aware of your father.

Let us make sure we know you're there.

Let us six speedies to glory.

Come on hands lifted. Can we sing that to you?

Let us speak.

Come, let us speak, Come, let us experience. Yes, Holy Spirit,

you're freeing me, lead me, guide me, change me correctly.

Let us because speak of your breath.

Let us experience sixpeerience Lord. Everybody listening this say, Holy

Holy Spirit.

You all.

Put your hand on yourself.

Yeah, come floor the place, enfield theses your glory.

Your God, to be.

Byss God. I thank you for the finished work of

Jesus Christ, and I thank you. Because of that finished work,

every one of us can receive the Holy Spirit today.

I thank you that new power just came to your people. Father.

They may feel the same, but everything just changed. God.

I thank you that as we read your word, it

becomes a lie because we have the Holy Spirit now,

Thank you Father. The fruits of the spirit, the seeds

we plant now can actually go on good ground and

produce much fruit. Thank you. Today it was the day

of transformation, and we will live in joy. It's your

pra Everybody at this altar listened to me. We're about

to dismiss. There's a worship in this house, and some

of you are going to get the benefit of speaking

in tongues in here and then other people are going

to allow that thing that they is gonna keep going.

Don't be distracted. Listen, people are fighting generational stuff, y'all.

Hear what I'm saying to me. The enemy don't want

to let somebody go that he's had for a long time.

And so don't don't be scared of the fight. All

my prayer team, I need us to be ready. We

just gonna touch and agree with the people that are

up here. There's prayer in the back, but I just

feel next week gonna be different for us because it

will be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Can I get

an amen in this space? Yeah? And please don't let

religion and time served as a leader in the House

of God keep you from getting power. I just see

some seasoned sakes that are stale, no power for a

long time, and God wants to restore to you the

joy of your salvation. It's a fresh feeling. Thank you

for what you did in this place today, God, and

I know you're not done. If you if you gave

your life to Christ today, I want you to text

save to eight two eight two eight two because we

want to walk with you. Can we do this? How

about a thousand of us show up to prayer on

Wednesday night. There's over two thousand people like y'all easy,

let's let's let's go, bro, will.

You can we?

I just I just feel like, just this Wednesday, I'm

gonna ask you for every Wednesday. Maybe the Holy Spirit

will ask you for every Wednesday, but I'm not. But

this Wednesday at six o'clock, let's feel this place. Let's

pray that the Holy Spirit would do a deep work

on the inside of us. And if you want to go,

then we'll go to Bible study. There's something for the youth.

Now there's I want you to bring the family on

Wednesday night, but I want us to pray that this

this thing that has started in here will never stop.

Did y'all hear what I just said? The thing that

God started will never stop? Lift your hands. Let me

pray for you. Father. Thank you, Ah, thank you for

what you did today, thank you for what you're continuing

to do right now, and thank you for the ripple

effect that this is about to have on generations of people.

Young man, your life is about to change. What's your name? Donelle? Donelle?

God's hand is on your life? What his hand is

on your life, and it's been on your life and

there's been a decision you've been trying to make. Am

I gonna do this or I'm gonna be like that?

And God today is bringing you to this place to

snatch you like I literally see the Holy Spirit like

not this one like I saw it like that. There's

too many prayers that have been prayed for, and you're

gonna serve God and you're gonna make a huge impact

in the culture. I don't know what you do. I

don't know how you do it. I don't know anything,

but God. He literally had me about that prayer that

was the end in prayer, and the Lord stopped the

ending prayer. Somebody's hands still up their hands and shaking

right now because they want to put their hands down

because I had to stop and tell you that what

God's going to do in your life is going to

save thousands of people. Y'all should rejoice with him. You

should encourage this young man. Yeah, the Bible needs to

become your favorite book. You need to get one you

can understand. They don't gotta be deep, you gotta understand it.

I want you to get something you can understand, and

I just want you to start reading about it. And

when you got questions and when you don't know, I

want you to start actually searching for answers.

Ty.

I want you to. I want you to get with him.

I want you to there's something special on this young

man's life. And I just I feel that the prayer

for you in front of everybody, because what God's gonna

do in your life is gonna be in front of everybody.

He's gonna do it in front of everybody. And I

don't listen. I don't wish that upon people. If God's

hand is not on your life, some of us need

it to happen behind closed doors. This is tie right here.

He said, We're gonna just pray for you man, and

Donelle right Lynelle, stretch your hands towards Lyonelle. Church Father,

I thank you that even all the energy he just

felt come towards him. God, I thank you that you

were about to use this young man for your glory. Haha, Enemy,

you lost another one. I declare that there is a

hedge of protection around Lonell's life, and the plans that

the enemy had will no longer be valid. God, I

thank you that he will have a deep love for

your word and however that is to be expressed. Father,

I'm not putting him on the pulpit, however you want

to do it in him. I just thank you that

you're gonna use all of him, Father, God, whether it's here,

whether it's on a stage that people see, Father, or

he's the mastermind behind the creation that the world uses.

However you want to do it, God, I think you

that this young man for the rest of his life

will give you the Lord. He's marked by you, God,

and I just thank you Father for the peace of

God coming to his mom, to his family, provide everything

that they need. Father, and we thank you. He's gonna

do it in joy in Jesus' name, and Father, you

have the final say in all of our lives, so

do it only you can do. Today we decide that

we're gonna live in joy and be everything you've called

us to be. Have your way in our lives this

week in Jesus' name. Somebody say, we agree, We expect Amen.

Can you give God one more big shot of praise

if you're gonna live in joy?

Thank you for joining us today. If you said that

prayer and accept it, Jesus into your heart, it's the

best decision you could ever make. We want to celebrate

with you, and we have some tools to help you

on your journey. Tech saved to a two A two
