  1. Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

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

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

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

  5. I'm about to get into the message because I think

  6. it's gonna heighten our revelation of how good God is.

  7. But before I.

  8. Get into the message today, I want to just say

  9. thank you again for being a part of something that

  10. God is doing. Every morning that we get up, we

  11. have choices to make. And the fact that you choose

  12. to come worship at this place with this crazy bunch

  13. of people that are unashamed about the message of Jesus Christ.

  14. And no matter what anybody writes or blogs or makes

  15. YouTube videos about, there's only one name to be praised

  16. that this church, and his name is Jesus. Somebody shout

  17. his name real quick, say Jesus. And the fact that

  18. thousands of you would come and watch and be a

  19. part of this move of God. I just came to

  20. declare that the best days of this church are in

  21. front of us.

  22. And I don't need.

  23. Forty five thousand people to agree with me.

  24. I just need fifty strong people.

  25. I said that the best days of this church, the

  26. impact we're gonna make in this city, the ripples we

  27. gonna see around the world.

  28. I just need fifty people. Some of y'all two boozs.

  29. You ain't never been a part of a move of God.

  30. But I need fifty people to believe that the rest

  31. of this year is gonna be the best of this year,

  32. that twenty twenty five we're coming into something brand new,

  33. that God is about to take us from glory to

  34. glory and.

  35. Straight from strength.

  36. Yeah, sometimes you gotta look at giants and speak to them.

  37. Y'all scary.

  38. But David said, who is this uncircumcised phil estate that

  39. come the giinst Okay, I'm sorry. I'm tired of weak

  40. Christians that look at adversity as an opportunity to back up.

  41. I look at adversity as.

  42. An opportunity to show you how big my God is. Oh,

  43. the God that we service, bigger than the economy, the

  44. God that we serface, bigger than the election.

  45. Y'all, don't hear me.

  46. The God we serface bigger than cancer, bigger than war,

  47. bigger than perversion. Somebody shot at me, bigger, y'all, don't

  48. hear me.

  49. I didn't come to play today.

  50. And the reason I'm saying this to you right now

  51. is because some of your faith needs to be shaken.

  52. You're looking at stuff thinking that God is weaker than

  53. your situation, and the truth is.

  54. Somebody shot at me. He's bigger.

  55. Yeah, Charles, I just had to declare some things. I

  56. did this before, but I felt inclined this morning to

  57. do it again. When I was at fifteen nineteen, I

  58. stood when there was empty seats everywhere and I told everybody.

  59. I said, y'all better get ready. I said record this

  60. because we're gonna come back. And I feel the unction

  61. to do it again right now. This is the smallest

  62. this church is ever gonna be, y'all, don't hear me.

  63. You better get ready.

  64. Because there's gonna be multiple services coming in here. People

  65. you don't like. It's gonna be sitting on the road

  66. with you because the Holy Spirit is about to pour

  67. out of this place through the fruit that is being

  68. worked in our lives, and they're gonna be like, where can.

  69. I find what you got?

  70. I'm telling you right now, if you don't like the

  71. parking situation now, you might wanna find somewhere else, because

  72. they're coming from the north, the South.

  73. The East, y'all better help me. And the west were

  74. calling for.

  75. The crunks, the liars, the addicted, the broken, the hurting,

  76. the frustrated, the angry.

  77. The upset. Y'all. Don't hear me.

  78. If he thought this was a country club for believers

  79. who want to keep.

  80. Their hands thirty our hands clean, you.

  81. Might want to roll because this place will represent God

  82. to the lost and found for transformation and right and

  83. if you're with me, makes.

  84. Some noise to our God.

  85. I just had to let you know in case you forgot.

  86. We was about it, about it when nobody was coming.

  87. We were sacrificing in canvas and streets. And I believe

  88. that God is about to raise up a remnant in

  89. this house. Let me prophetically say that it will irritate

  90. you to not be in the game from this Sunday on.

  91. Hear what I just said to you. Being a part

  92. of this God.

  93. Brought you here in this moment for the great revival

  94. that's about to come out.

  95. Of this church.

  96. Oh God, And I'm telling you right now, consuming is

  97. going to become agitating if all you do is consume

  98. and you're not actually putting anything out. It's gonna become

  99. The Lord is not going to let what's in you

  100. be comfortable in just consuming. So some of y'all need

  101. to go to family dinner tonight because this was your

  102. last Sunday.

  103. To be sitting down. What are you say in passing?

  104. My God has need of your gift, He has need

  105. of your smile, he has need of your experties. Why

  106. I give forty hours to that job every week, But

  107. I'm trying to call you in the purposes what God

  108. said to you, and He's trying to use us beyond

  109. what we've been used before. Sometimes I think it was

  110. Prophet Kendrick that says, sometimes you just gotta pop out,

  111. And today I needed to pop out and let you

  112. know what type of church this is. We're not in

  113. the We not took back in this cul de sac

  114. that God gave us the entire.

  115. Complex to be quiet.

  116. He didn't give us a piece of this city so

  117. that we could sit here and do church.

  118. He wanted us to rescue.

  119. People who are going to hell, that are lost, that

  120. are broken, that are religious and cannot find him. And

  121. I heard the Holy Spirit say to me this morning,

  122. I have need of you. Somebody say, God has need

  123. of me. Say it one more time, God has.

  124. Need of me.

  125. People see this church and they think that we don't

  126. need anything. Many people don't give, many people won't serve,

  127. Many people won't do things.

  128. Many people won't invite.

  129. Because if I'm invite them, that I mean my parking spot.

  130. May be gone. God has need of you. He is asking,

  131. will you be the one to go? Tell them?

  132. The table is ready. I prepared a meal. And some

  133. were too busy with their cars and their vehicles, and

  134. some were busy with youtubing and blogging and gaming, and

  135. others were busy with makeup and tutorials and becoming an entrepreneur.

  136. But the meal is ready.

  137. So go out to the highways and byways. Y'all don't

  138. know the Bible.

  139. Go out to the places where they don't want people

  140. to come.

  141. Go to the gyms in the school.

  142. Come on, somebody, the police officers, so that gave you

  143. a ticket, give him an invite.

  144. Do you hear what I'm y'all? Don't share me.

  145. Somebody shot at me, No shout at me. Represent I'm

  146. gonna have to do a whole culture series because some

  147. people think that we just got here by shouting Hallelujah loud.

  148. We were called here to represent, represent and represent God

  149. same word. We got to show God differently, give God differently,

  150. and promote him differently. How do we promote him with

  151. the fruit of our lives?

  152. So that's why we're in this series.

  153. I just had to pop out today and this is

  154. not a part, but I felt the constricting nature of

  155. people's opinions.

  156. Today.

  157. I just wanted to flex and tell you we're gonna

  158. do everything God called.

  159. Us to do.

  160. If you believe it, will you give him a shout

  161. of praise in this house?

  162. I need y'all to help me. I don't need everybody,

  163. but I need you to help me.

  164. Some of y'all don't know the spiritual warfare it is

  165. to stand up here every Sunday.

  166. Can I be honest?

  167. There is a tax coming at me from Friday night

  168. until when I pray on the side of this stage.

  169. Because if the enemy could take away what God wants

  170. to do through this house, there is a group of

  171. people that are left uncovered.

  172. Because we're out of position.

  173. And so what I just did there for everybody's like

  174. is he always doesn't tend to No, it's usually a

  175. welcome when I come in, Okay, welcome to transformation search.

  176. And I still feel that in my soul. But I

  177. hate the devil, and I will not allow what God caught,

  178. what I know He's called us.

  179. To do, be threatened because of intimidation.

  180. Here, I'm trying to teach you how to contend for

  181. what God says is yours. There is no place in

  182. the Bible when he said I'm giving you a land

  183. flowing with milk and honey. There were a whole generation

  184. of people that did not enter the promised land because

  185. they didn't want to fight for what God told them

  186. was already theirs.

  187. So an entire generation.

  188. Of people except Joshua and Caleb, they literally forfeited their

  189. promise because they thought it was too much to actually

  190. go contend when God said I'm giving it to you.

  191. And God told us that we would have an impact

  192. in this city, an impact in this y'all gonna have

  193. to give you five extra minutes, okay for my message.

  194. I gotta do. Sometimes you just gotta like.

  195. This is me being an under shepherd, and I see

  196. the sheep right here, and I see sheep scattering, I

  197. see more sheep.

  198. At the mall and at targeting.

  199. I see people broke in, and I see people that

  200. were once plugged into God and serving in the house

  201. and in community, and I see the enemy trying to

  202. pick people off in isolation.

  203. And today I'm coming with as.

  204. A shepherd, and I'm asking everybody get in the fold.

  205. I don't know how else to say this. Stay with

  206. the other sheep. I don't know how else to say this.

  207. Don't wonder off trying to do your own thing so

  208. that the enemy can pick you off in isolation. This

  209. is if you're in transformation nation. Stay plugged in, watch

  210. the messages.

  211. I understand you.

  212. Gotta work, but be here, give, serve, do whatever I'm

  213. telling you right now. The body of Christ is about

  214. to get stronger than ever. If I was telling you

  215. I was gonna give a million dollars, somebody be shouting

  216. right now. But if I say God's bride, the body

  217. of Christ is gonna get stronger.

  218. It's understanding that he's not coming.

  219. Back till we actually do this thing.

  220. All right.

  221. I love us too much to allow us to come

  222. in here any Sunday and play church. Either we gonna

  223. live this word out or we're not. Either we're gonna

  224. love people or we're not. Either we're gonna represent God

  225. when people are looking and when they're not, or we're

  226. just not gonna do this whole thing. And today I

  227. just I want to call us all as somebody say, hier,

  228. there's a maturing happened in this last quarter.

  229. Of the year. Did you hear what I just said?

  230. Some of the fruit that has not grown in your

  231. life for a long time is about to grow a

  232. whole bunch. And I'm great, I'm grateful for what we're

  233. about to see happen in this place. Amen. All right, Well,

  234. today I got a message, but I gotta make an

  235. announcement real quick.

  236. This will be a good transition.

  237. Just play the video and then that'll let me be

  238. able to get into the message.

  239. Week three. Let's go.

  240. Now, I told you we had more music on the way.

  241. Our brand new album, Undefeated Champion, drops November fifteenth. Okay, Now,

  242. the reason why people are excited and they're like like

  243. screaming and stuff, it is because a few people in

  244. here have heard a little.

  245. Bit of where we're going.

  246. And I'm telling y'all right now, part of the way

  247. that we're going after a generation as we're going to

  248. get into their spirits through music, and I need Transformation

  249. Church Transformation Nation to support this. November fifteenth is actually

  250. my birthday, like my actual birthday.

  251. So that's cool how that worked out.

  252. And it will be the completion of me obeying God

  253. to release these four albums. And I'm just gonna lay

  254. out in the spirit and be done and be like God,

  261. is what I want to do, and I need everybody.

  263. I want to release the single Undefeated Champion before the

  264. album comes out.

  358. You about to take that all the way? Yes? Oh,

  359. I love our sert all right. We we We.

  360. Asked God to allow the joy of the Lord to

  361. be our strength.

  362. And I know for some people in this you've.

  363. Been in a church that have sucked the joy out

  364. of it.

  365. Hear what I just said to you.

  366. If you allow the enemy and religion to suck the

  367. joy out of your experience with God, you get no strength.

  368. Because the Bible says the joy of the Lord will

  369. be our smile again, laugh again. Mama Chloe is a

  370. seasoned saint. And the fact that she just got up

  371. here and with joy begin to dance. This is multi generational,

  372. multi ethnic, multiplying.

  373. It's gonna be multi campus.

  374. This is what God is doing here and so grateful

  375. for it. Today is week three of a series that

  376. we have been talking about called show Me the Receipts.

  377. And I don't know about you, but God has been

  378. calling for some receipts in my life. He's been asking me,

  379. where is the fruit that you actually spend time with me?

  380. And the truth of the matter is people can clop

  381. their hours in church, but not their time spent with God.

  382. Did you hear what I just said.

  383. People can list off a bunch of things that they've

  384. done out of duty, but they haven't walked in the

  385. cool of the day with God. Going back to what

  386. Adam and Eve did, a lot of people know a

  387. lot of scripture. They don't have any fragrance of being

  388. with God.

  389. The beautiful thing.

  390. About my daughters is I wear a lot of cologne.

  391. And it's one of the things that I didn't realize

  392. until people started to tell me, Like when I'm not there,

  393. they can smell me.

  394. Like if I walk into a room and I touch something, people.

  395. Will come in after I came in and be like,

  396. that's my cure.

  397. And I didn't.

  398. Understand it until I experienced it. And one time I

  399. was gone and my daughter Bella came up to me

  400. and she said, Daddy, could you spray your cologne on

  401. my pillow?

  402. And I said why?

  403. She said, because it reminds me of being with you,

  404. that there was a fragrance of us being together, that

  405. there should be something that comes off.

  406. Of me because we were close to each other.

  407. My question is, do you smell like you've been with God?

  408. Does it register at all when you walk out of

  409. the room.

  410. Can somebody say God's been here.

  411. Because they came in contact with you? And if they cannot,

  412. good news. We're doing a whole series on how to

  413. have proof that you are in relationship with God.

  414. And that's why we have to show the receipts here.

  415. On earth and in heaven of how we actually have

  416. relationship and beautiful thing Galatians five point twenty two. The

  417. Lord gives us nine fruits of the spirit that are

  418. receipts or proof that we have relationship with Him. And

  419. it's so simple, it says, but the fruit of the

  420. spirit is love.

  421. Somebody say love, say I'm with.

  422. Me, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

  423. Against such things there is no law So today I

  424. want to.

  425. Talk to you about a fruit that, Honestly, if I

  426. can be honest with you, I was trying to avoid

  427. somebody said long suffering. That was last week, different word

  428. of patience. Okay, but go back let him cook, okay,

  429. But this week I was avoiding this one. Honestly, if

  430. I can be hot, humble, open and transparent, because anytime.

  431. I've heard it talked about, it was so bland.

  432. Y'all know when y'all like hear messages about stuff and

  433. it be like.

  434. It's kind of like that. I don't know what church

  435. you grew up in, but for some reason at my

  436. church when.

  437. We did communion, they said that this was a cracker.

  438. But it was not a cracker. It was a styrophone plate.

  439. And I don't know, y'all know what I'm talking about,

  440. y'all wasting the same church, and they thought it was

  441. convenient because like it came on the cup, But.

  442. It was like, syrophone is that healthy for us? This

  443. is not food? Like where is this? And what is this?

  444. But the thing that happened when I would eat that,

  445. it would just be bland.

  446. It tasted like nothing.

  447. And many times when I heard people preach on this

  448. fruit of spirit or I even tried to study it

  449. in my own life.

  450. It was very bland until this week. This is why

  451. you gotta ask the Holy Spirit give me a new revelation.

  452. Like when I open your word, say something different to me.

  453. So the title of today, y'all, y'all know what food.

  454. I'm speaking on today? Come out today. I'm talk talking

  455. about goodness, and I want you to write down my

  456. sermon title and say it just like this.

  457. Oh my goodness, Come on, somebody say it with me.

  458. Oh my good.

  459. I found myself saying this over and over and over

  460. again as I was discovering how good goodness is, how

  461. good God. I was reading the bout, I was like,

  462. oh my goodness. Okay, let's see if we grew up

  463. in the same church. People in church would say something.

  464. Like this, God is good and all the time.

  465. Now replace God's name with your name, would the statement

  466. still be true?

  467. Michael is good all the time and all the time. Michael,

  468. I'm lying.

  469. Do you understand what I'm saying at this point?

  470. I'm lying. What if.

  471. God desired for that statement to be true about every believer,

  472. that Paul is good and people could echo all the

  473. time and all the time. Paul is good. Just let's

  474. practice say your name and let's say that phrase. One,

  475. two three, Michael is good all the time and all

  476. the time.

  477. Michael is good. What if that was the goal? Now?

  478. Come on, what if goodness was the goal? And what

  479. I found is that to be and do good you

  480. need God, and people are trying to get.

  481. Good without God. God.

  482. Did y'all hear what I just said. I've tried to

  483. do it for years. I'm just gonna be a good person.

  484. I'm just gonna do good. I'm just gonna be gooder

  485. than my brothers. I'm gonna be y'all, y'all say that gooder.

  486. I'm aa.

  487. My goal is just to be a good person. But

  488. the problem with me trying to be good without God

  489. is that it can't be defined by me.

  490. Okay, write this point down.

  491. Goodness must be produced in us in order for it

  492. to flow from us. You can't give goodness to anybody

  493. because you have not let it be produced in your life.

  494. This is why.

  495. We're short with people. That we see people in need

  496. and easily can turn.

  497. And focus on how busy our schedule is. It's quiet

  498. in here, this morning. But if I live at my

  499. own life and I'm supposed to be.

  500. The representative on earth of what goodness looks like, would

  501. I be a good representative for God.

  502. Based on my actual actions?

  503. When I look this word up in the Greek, the

  504. original word means write this down to do good? How

  505. much good do you do? Not how much good do

  506. you do that benefits you? And which makes sense for you?

  507. To do good so you put yourself in a better position.

  508. I'm saying, just good for the sake, that's a good

  509. thing to do. It's good for me to hold the

  510. door open for this young lady coming in. It's good

  511. for me to actually not lie to my parents. It's

  512. so quiet in here, I can feel your angst. It's

  513. good for me to spend time with God. It's good

  514. for me to take care of my temple. Does your

  515. goodness reflect God's goodness? I'm starting slow because I want

  516. this concept to start to get mundane enough to drop deeper.

  517. Like I want you to think, like, what is he

  518. talking about? Is he talking about just being good? Is

  519. he talking about doing good?

  520. Like? What is it? Okay, let's go my whole life.

  521. I have to make a confession I've defined what was good.

  522. Now. Most people won't.

  523. Admit this, but like somebody will come be like, oh

  524. I love that restaurant.

  525. I'll be like that wasn't good. Or somebody will be like, yo,

  526. I love that movie.

  527. And none of my brothers like, I'm not gonna tell them,

  528. but that movie was not that good.

  529. I love. Your outfit could be bad. That outfit is

  530. not good.

  531. Secretly and sometimes honestly, most of us are defining good

  532. all day for ourselves. Where you live, I want to

  533. make sure I live in a good neighborhood. Yet God

  534. may have called you to one that's at risk because

  535. that's where you're needed.

  536. Oh they missed it.

  537. If you are the definer of good in your life,

  538. isn't really good? Because I know a lot of people

  539. that were with a good man until they turned into

  540. a bad man. Oh oh seven months ago they were good.

  541. Ain't nobody mattered than him? Can't nobody even matter than him?

  542. Your family, your friends, your mama. But everybody told you

  543. get away.

  544. From me, But no, no, no, no, he's a good man.

  545. My man, my man, my man.

  546. Yeah, I know, but how did something watch that you

  547. define good?

  548. Yeah?

  549. Turn back is because if you're the one, if I'm

  550. the one, If we're the ones defining good, it might

  551. not be good to begin with. How many people have

  552. ate something that was good to you but not good

  553. for you?

  554. Oh, come on, and so they say, how was that? Oh?

  555. My god, it was good. They don't see you on

  556. the toilet at four.

  557. Am you and like what you're in full warfare, battling

  558. for your life.

  559. Was it good or not?

  560. I'm trying to make a very big concept come very

  561. small for you to understand that if it starts with.

  562. Us, it might not in good.

  563. If the good starts with us, it might not in good. Maybe, rather,

  564. should we look at the creator who actually defines good

  565. and go off of his standard of good.

  566. Because life can give you.

  567. The illusion that you get to grade what is good.

  568. Write this point down. But only God can set the

  569. standard of good. I'm gonna say it one more time.

  570. Only God can set the standard of good. God tells

  571. us in his word what a good man is.

  572. So if he's.

  573. Fine and got a six pack and got everything that

  574. you think he paid and all that other stuff, but

  575. he's not a man that will be honest. He's not

  576. a man that will pray for his wife.

  577. He's not a man.

  578. Okay, he's not a man that will protect this home.

  579. He's not like.

  580. He's already given us a standard of what good is.

  581. So when we go.

  582. Outside of God to find what is.

  583. Good, it don't ever end good. Oh my gosh.

  584. That's why we need more of his goodness. We need

  585. to understand it. And so when I went on a

  586. deep dive to understand what God's goodness is, I had

  587. to make a decision in my mind. And I need

  588. you to make this decision that God's standard is good.

  589. I don't know how you were introduced to the faith.

  590. I don't know if this was just a bunch.

  591. Of rules and can't do's and God don't want this.

  592. But if you were introduced to God like that, it

  593. messes up.

  594. Your view of him.

  595. And if you don't see God as good it is

  596. his nature, and that his standard is good and it's

  597. for our protection and our prosperity, then you will never

  598. approach God's standard as a good thing.

  599. But let's do a hard reset in this place today.

  600. Let's y'all know how your computer you just gotta.

  601. Hold it down.

  602. And right now we're just gonna hold it down and reset.

  603. God's standard is good. Say it with me. God's standard

  604. is good one more time. By faith, God standard is good.

  605. We'll reset. We're gonna believe that by faith. Then, when

  606. God says, don't have sex until you get married, it's

  607. a good standard. When God says to honor God with

  608. your wealth, it's a good he knows what's up. Pay

  609. he's trying to work greed out of you. It's a

  610. good standard. When he says to love your enemies. When

  611. he says to it's a it's heart. I didn't say

  612. it had to be easy, but it's a good standard.

  613. I need three people who need some money. I'm gonna

  614. give three people some money. I'm gonna give you one

  615. hundred dollars. Okay, come here, right here, my man, you

  616. come here, right here, Hold on real quick. I need

  617. somebody of the Caucasian press and come here.

  618. Come here.

  619. Yeah, come on, y'all, come up to the stage, Come

  620. up real fast.

  621. Okay, all right, come come, come, come real quick. All right.

  622. So before you guys came up here, I want y'all

  623. to stand right here, just stand right.

  624. Here, just in the line.

  625. One, two right here, right here, three, but facing me,

  626. facing me right there, right there, right there, right there.

  627. What's your name, Kayla Cedric Tanner?

  628. Okay, perfect. All I want you to do is I

  629. want you to go twenty one feet and twenty one

  630. point five feet, okay, And whoever gets twenty one point

  631. five feet look at him trying to measure his shoes,

  632. Huh you got Okay, whoever gets you got ten seconds,

  633. so I don't I'm not telling you how long this

  634. stage is, but I want you to go twenty one

  635. point five feet. Y'all go back to the corner though,

  636. because I want you to go from the corner because

  637. I don't want you.

  638. To think I'm cheating at the end of it. Okay,

  639. from this corner?

  640. How long is twenty and I need y'all to hear

  641. them if that you think it's too far, too little,

  642. I want you you got ten seconds ready, set go

  643. twenty one point five feet and stop wherever you think

  644. it is? Five four three two? Okay, here we go.

  645. Just hold it right there, hold it right there now,

  646. my sister, I need come come here, kimmer Man. This

  647. is twenty one point five feet.

  648. Now right here now now, now listen to me.

  649. I didn't I didn't make up inches I didn't make

  650. up feet. I didn't set the standard. I'm just trying

  651. to hit it. So they're not bad people. They just

  652. didn't know where the standard was. They weren't able to

  653. receive what was available.

  654. At the standard.

  655. Now watch, I had enough for all of them because

  656. my plan was that they would all But it's only

  657. now again. I didn't make up the standard.

  658. I wasn't.

  659. I didn't say centimeters, inches, I didn't say anything. But

  660. the goal was for us to go. And this is

  661. the problem. They went where they thought the standard was.

  662. That's twenty that's twenty one feet in his mind, that's

  663. twenty one feet and her, and it doesn't.

  664. They can stand there all day and be like, but

  665. this is twenty one and a half feet.

  666. But because there's a standard already, do.

  667. Y'all hear what I'm saying. I'm giving y'all three seconds

  668. to get to the standard.

  669. This is called the grace of God. That even when

  670. we don't hit the standard. Somebody needs to shout about

  671. the grace of God, because even when we don't hit

  672. the standard, he will give us an opportunity to repent,

  673. both of them.

  674. Turned can we give it up for these amazing people.

  675. Hey man, y'all go have good luck somewhere. Now.

  676. Watch if I said I want to I want ten

  677. more people to hit the standard.

  678. I don't know.

  679. Everybody, sit down, stop and stop. It would be much

  680. easier to actually find the standard if somebody was standing

  681. at it, if there was a church that would hold

  682. the standard, if there was a couple that would hold

  683. the standard, if.

  684. There was a small group that would hold.

  685. The standards, I wouldn't have to get up here and

  686. go searching for myself.

  687. Oh, there's a group of people.

  688. That I know that walk in love, joy, peace, taste

  689. its kindness and goodness.

  690. This is the But this standard was not defined by

  691. me or you.

  692. The standard is defined by God soul. If we then

  693. go to Genesis, chapter one, verse three, let's see if

  694. we can find the standard of God.

  695. On day one, in.

  696. The beginning, he created light and he called it. Day two,

  697. he created this guy and he called it. Now, this

  698. is before anybody's opinion, This is before anybody's ideas. This

  699. is like God could have called it anything extravagant, extraordinary, amazing,

  700. super cali, French electric as the only do that he

  701. could have called it. But the third day dryland, sees

  702. plants and trees, and he called it the sun and

  703. the moon and the stars.

  704. On the fourth day and he called it.

  705. On the fifth day he made fish and birds and

  706. he called it. And on the sixth day he made land,

  707. animals and humans, and he called us.

  708. So if the.

  709. Standard is that when God breathes his life into a human,

  710. the expectation is goodness, what happened to us? What is

  711. happening that we are fighting against the goodness of God?

  712. Watch this not to just experience it, because God his

  713. goodness never runs out.

  714. We just sang it.

  715. But what if the whole goal is not just to

  716. experience goodness? What if it's to give goodness away?

  717. Okay ah.

  718. And this is why we have to allow the fruit

  719. of goodness to be worked in our lives through the

  720. Holy Spirit, Because if I was defining the fruits of

  721. the Spirit, it would have been love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, greatness.

  722. Most of us want the goodness to be greatness.

  723. Most of us want.

  724. To be successful and people to know our name, and

  725. for God to beget glory kind of through the expertise.

  726. And the excellence of me.

  727. And then I'll throw it back to him. We would

  728. so love for a fruit of the spirit to be greatness,

  729. but he decided that I don't want great I want

  730. what uh oh, because greatness write this down is already

  731. reserved for God. Ugh. Greatness is reserved only for God.

  732. That's why Psalms says great is the.

  733. And greatly to be praised.

  734. I thought about it differently, Great is the Lord, like

  735. that that area of greatness is the Lord. You can't

  736. handle the glory that comes with greatness. That's why you

  737. see people fold, turn to addiction, turn into somebody else.

  738. You were not meant to hold the glory of greatness.

  739. So that's why he said, this is reserved. Greatness is

  740. the Lord's, but goodness is yours.

  741. And some of us need to divorce the idea of

  742. being great and become familiar with the consistency of being good.

  743. See because the difference between greatness and goodness is watch

  744. this greatness enlarges people's view of you, and goodness in

  745. largest people's view of God.

  746. Think about it. If I'm being great, they're like, Mike

  747. Todd is great. But if I'm walking in.

  748. Goodness, they say, My God, how does God do that?

  749. Through that? I know him? I've seen him. I'm like,

  750. how how was God's.

  751. Goodness being seen in their marriage? How is God's good man?

  752. They make me want to go to counseling because I

  753. remember how they cussed each other out in front of Chipotle.

  754. I was acting like I wasn't listening, but I was

  755. recording it. And y'all know, y'all messy.

  756. And now to see them leading a tribe with other

  757. married couples, how did the goodness of God change.

  758. Their situation into this other situation? Okay, I need everybody

  759. to write this down, and I'm submitting this to you

  760. as a thought. What if the goal is no longer

  761. greatness but only goodness? I know this is gonna rack

  762. some of y'all's brain because you've been running from an

  763. insecurity since you were eight, And you know, the only

  764. way that you got mommy and daddy's attention anytime that

  765. anybody said anything good about you is that you had

  766. to be great passing Mike. How do you know this

  767. because it's my story. I've told it so many different times,

  768. Like I made a decision at twelve years old good

  769. was not good enough, and I put my standard above

  770. God's standard, and it almost killed me. Today, I want

  771. to bring value to the fruit of the spirit of goodness.

  772. See, goodness can.

  773. Do more in your life than you actually think it can.

  774. Watch this Exodus thirty three eighteen. There's this beautiful story

  775. of Moses spending time with God, being in the presence

  776. of God. And it said, and this is what Moses

  777. asked for. He asked for something great. Look and said,

  778. then show me Lord your glorious presence. And the Lord reply,

  779. you can't handle all that. I will make all my

  780. goodness pass by you. He wanted the great thing, God,

  781. show me your glory. And literally God was like, I'll

  782. just let my goodness pass by you.

  783. You want this big thing. Goodness is enough.

  784. If I let you experience my goodness, you will have

  785. no choice but to transform into something different. So when

  786. I looked at this, and I studied to study all

  787. of the different things that went before him. Moses would

  788. spend time on the mountain with God.

  789. His goodness would pass.

  790. When he would come off the mountain and get back

  791. with the people to people say.

  792. Whoa Moses, whoa bro put a cloak on.

  793. Don't you shining too much? We know you've been with

  794. Oh my, oh my goodness.

  795. They literally couldn't take the radiation because of their relationship.

  796. Oh my God, could you.

  797. Walk into that job and because you spent time with

  798. God in his goodness, not in his greatness, but in

  799. his goodness?

  800. Could you walk into that job?

  801. And they be like, Man, you just got too many

  802. answers for the prop Man.

  803. You seem to always walk in peace. And this is

  804. a stretchful situation. Man.

  805. When I think about the goodness of God, I think

  806. about me having to actually adjust my focus because this

  807. is so important that the Bible tells us in Matthew

  808. that it will be the standard by which we are

  809. judged when we stand before Jesus.

  810. Everybody say goodness? Can I say it? Just real plain?

  811. Our goodness is what's going to define our life. Not

  812. how many all night prayers you did, no hear me,

  813. Not how many millions you gave to nonprofits.

  814. If those things.

  815. Are disattached from the goodness of God and you're doing

  816. them for pride and selfish reasons and motives that aren't

  817. edified by God, He's going to say, depart from me.

  818. I never knew you and some of us right now

  819. are doing good things for the wrong reasons. It's called manipulation,

  820. not goodness. Okay, but this is what Matthew twenty five

  821. to twenty one. I'm just trying to raise your value.

  822. Somebody say, oh, my goodness, I'm.

  823. Telling you this revelation got deep from me. It said.

  824. The Master was full of praise, and the statement he

  825. said to the good servant was well done, My, my

  826. good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling

  827. this small amount. So now I will give you many

  828. more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together. Why in the world would

  829. he say, mine, good in faithful servant. It could have

  830. said my dedicated and faithful servant. It could have said my,

  831. my zealous and faithful servant. But I think goodness is

  832. a bigger part of our Christian walk and the fruit

  833. that we must bear because it watched. This reflects God.

  834. God's been good to you for no reason. It says

  835. stuff like this in the Bible before we were while

  836. we were yet sinners. When's the last time you was

  837. good to somebody for no reason? That's goodness. You pull

  838. into the parking spot and you saw somebody about to come,

  839. and your old nature rolls up in you.

  840. It's like that I beat you.

  841. When the last time you backed up, rolled the window down.

  842. No, no, you can have it. No, you can have

  843. it and go to the furthest spot. That's goodness.

  844. Now, if you did that, if you saw a pastor

  845. mic coming, that would be manipulation.

  846. You missed it. I think that doesn't like hold on

  847. pal thaw. Oh no, no, no, no, no, to.

  848. God, you can take my part of it if you did.

  849. Maybe if I give him a parking space, he'll give

  850. me a parking space. I'm talking about good doing good

  851. for no foreseeable game. If we're honest and we take

  852. inventory of our goodness, most of our.

  853. Good is attached to what we can gain. The Holy

  854. Spirit been whipping me all week.

  855. He said, why did you do it? So they can

  856. see you better? Or so they can know me better?

  857. Why did you do it? And I think a lot

  858. of us gotta check our motives because watch this goodness

  859. is not our nature.

  860. Let's be honest. It's not our nature, but it's necessary.

  861. And that's why our goodness is the receipt of a

  862. relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.

  863. Paul says it real clear.

  864. I'm gonna read a little bit of Bible real quick,

  865. and then We're gonna get out of here because I

  866. need somebody to leave this week and make a decision

  867. that I'm gonna be a reflection of God by showing

  868. goodness to somebody that can't do nothing for me, just

  869. so that I can be a reflection that I spend

  870. time with him.

  871. Did you hear what I just said? Well, what's in

  872. it for me? Nothing? Will you still do it? Well?

  873. I should get paid.

  874. For that, Yes, you should get paid for that.

  875. But what if God is asking you to do it

  876. for no pay?

  877. No, no, no, no no no, They not gonna use

  878. my idea and not give me credit for it.

  879. I'm holding what if God said that was the seed for.

  880. The thing I'm about to do, but you won't even

  881. sew it out of the goodness of your heart?

  882. Oh gosh, Roman seven fifteen. This is Paul.

  883. I do not understand what I do. God dog get

  884. for what I want to do, I do not do.

  885. But what I hate I do I can Yo, this

  886. is some cold Bible right here. I relate with this real, real,

  887. nice first six seed. And if I do what I

  888. do not want to do, I agreed that the law

  889. is good as it is. It is no longer I

  890. myself who do it. But it is sin living in

  891. me who made me do it. For I know that

  892. that good itself does not dwelling me. That is my

  893. sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what

  894. is good. How many people got the desire to do

  895. what it's good?

  896. Like you like if I really be wanting to like

  897. I really, I really do.

  898. He said, I desire to do what's good, but I.

  899. Cannot carry it out. For I do not do the

  900. good I want to do, but the evil I do

  901. not want to do, this I keep doing. This is

  902. some of the realest Bible. I be trying not to

  903. do what I be doing because I don't really want

  904. to do it.

  905. But every time I won't want to do it, I'm

  906. doing it.

  907. That's what this is saying.

  908. Verse twenty. Now I do what I do not want

  909. to do. It is he just keep going with to do?

  910. Do do that? Baby said, do? Do? Okay?

  911. Now if I do what I do not want to do,

  912. it is no longer I who do it. Watch, but

  913. it's the sin living in me that does it. So

  914. I find this law at work. Although I want to

  915. do good, evil.

  916. Is right there with me.

  917. For in my inner being. I delight in God's law,

  918. but I see another law at work in me, waging

  919. war against the law of my mind and making me

  920. a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.

  921. What a ratched man, I am. I hate this. I

  922. can't stand.

  923. When I say I'm not going to sleep with them,

  924. and I why do I keep doing this? I was

  925. done with that drink and that alcohol, and I was

  926. done with life, and I why do.

  927. I keep going to this? Can we be real?

  928. Why do I keep letting rage inform my words?

  929. I want to be loving, I want to be kind,

  930. but I just I caan't seem to do what I

  931. want to do.

  932. I made a decision, I wrote it down, I said

  933. affirmations this morning, and I still ended up. He said,

  934. it's dessinding me, who will rescue me from this body

  935. that is subject to death, and then he switches it

  936. to thanksgiving.

  937. Because he'd experienced God's goodness.

  938. Thanks be to God who delivers me through Jesus Christ,

  939. our Lord.

  940. Hey, hear what I'm saying to you.

  941. If you're wrestling and worrying right now, there's an answer,

  942. and his name is Jesus.

  943. And when you get Jesus. He gives you a gift

  944. of the Holy Spirit. And when you get the Holy

  945. Spirit and you stay close to him and let him

  946. walk with you, and.

  947. You surrender to him, then he works in you the

  948. fruit of the spirit of goodness. Somebody say, oh, my goodness,

  949. so not doing bad. Listen to me, We're almost done.

  950. Not doing bad is not the same thing as doing good.

  951. Oh my gosh.

  952. Most people are okay with living a life where they

  953. say I didn't do nothing bad.

  954. Avoiding, hiding, abdicating responsibility is not doing good. Just playing defense.

  955. God said, I want you to play offense. I need

  956. you to actually go out with the end. I need

  957. you to pull money out of your account with the

  958. intention of giving it away.

  959. If every time.

  960. God asked you to give it's a surprise, you're disobedient. No,

  961. hear me, Because God says in his word, he says,

  962. I want you to.

  963. Give what you've already decided in your heart. That means

  964. he would have.

  965. A pre conversation with you somewhere else. You putting on

  966. them shoes, He's like, they.

  967. Make your shoes. No more, give those away? Oh not

  968. the jays.

  969. Lord asked me for something else, not those only warn

  970. them twice, no creases not giving them away.

  971. And then when your.

  972. Brother comes over and asks for some shoes for his outfit,

  973. and he puts them on, and the Holy Spirit says, again,

  974. those aren't your shoes, they're his.

  975. Why does this seem so personal? And I'm still ignoring.

  976. And then I'm getting mad because they ain't brought my

  977. shoes back. Hey, bro, I'll let you wear my shoes

  978. the other.

  979. Day, and the Holy Spirit said, boy, if you don't stop.

  980. He tried to deal with me.

  981. Three times.

  982. That out of the goodness of my heart, I was

  983. supposed to give them away.

  984. But every time it felt like a surprise. It felt

  985. like God.

  986. Was taking some them from me because I hadn't decided

  987. that I was gonna do good works.

  988. Okay, so what we do to actually do good?

  989. Somebody say, I'm gonna do good Galatian sixteen. As we

  990. have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,

  991. especially unto them who are.

  992. In the household of faith.

  993. At every opportunity we get supposed to do good. And

  994. especially when.

  995. I come into this church.

  996. And to my small group at the family dinner, I

  997. should be looking for somebody to show God's goodness too.

  998. When of the last time you came to church ready to.

  999. Give away goodness? When this last time you showed up

  1000. at the park ready to give away goodness? How somebody

  1001. that's beautiful? What does that mean? Three things that's gonna

  1002. help you walk this out. Goodness is an action that

  1003. means you gotta make a move. Somebody say, make a move.

  1004. If if goodness doesn't have an action attached.

  1005. To it, you didn't do anything. You might have thought

  1006. about it. You might. But God literally says.

  1007. To us, be my hands in the feet if I

  1008. was in flesh, what would I do?

  1009. If if if you would say.

  1010. If Jesus were here, you know, ready, write weather, what

  1011. would Jesus do?

  1012. You're his representative? What would Jesus do? Show me? Well,

  1013. somebody should go over there and do something. Do it?

  1014. I mean, if Jesus were here, he'd go over pray

  1015. for them.

  1016. Do it.

  1017. If Jesus was here, he would get a campaign together

  1018. and raise money for this family who doesn't have anything

  1019. right now, do it? Yeah, But we relegate our responsibilities

  1020. as believers to an organization or a group of people.

  1021. That are never coming because we are His goodness on

  1022. this earth, and once you experience His goodness, you gotta

  1023. give it away.

  1024. I hear that red Hot Chili Pepper's song, give it away,

  1025. Give it away, Give it away.

  1026. Now I know someone se y'all too saved for that.

  1027. It's like, give it away.

  1028. If I did it like I really wanted to do it,

  1029. I would go crazy.

  1030. But if God has how.

  1031. Many people in this room and watch it, allline, how

  1032. many of you have experienced the goodness of God?

  1033. So now I have a message for you. Give it away,

  1034. give it away, Give it away, now, give it away. Okay.

  1035. So, goodness is action, it needs to move. Goodness is

  1036. an attitude that means you gotta check the motive.

  1037. So so so I'm just saying.

  1038. Like you ever met somebody and they was just a good,

  1039. good person, Like, let me, let me be very honest

  1040. with you. I don't want Bella to bring home a

  1041. great guy. I want him to be a good guy

  1042. because a lot of times the great guys is hide

  1043. and stuff. Can I be honest like, oh, he's great

  1044. at sports, and he's great at this, and he's great

  1045. at that.

  1046. I want him to be good at talking to you.

  1047. I want him to I want him to.

  1048. Be like because if it's a spirit, if it's an attitude,

  1049. at the end of my life, I don't want to

  1050. be like Michael Todd was the greatest. That man was

  1051. a good husband, he was a good pastor, he was

  1052. a good brother, he was a good friend. Because at

  1053. the end of the day, the well done, my good

  1054. and faithful servant.

  1055. I'm not saying telling you.

  1056. To set a little bar, because we serve a God

  1057. of excellence, but maybe you're a it's expending energy on

  1058. something you can't even obtain. Yeah, so maybe we need

  1059. to ask God to let goodness be an attitude in us.

  1060. So goodness is an action, it's the move we gotta make.

  1061. Goodness is an attitude, it's the motive we have to have.

  1062. And last one, goodness is an attribute.

  1063. It becomes our mo o. It becomes our.

  1064. Anybody's ever heard that word, that's their mo That's the

  1065. modus operandi. It's a Latin term that describes an individual

  1066. or a groups that that's habitual way of operating is

  1067. now consistent, which represents.

  1068. A discernible pattern. What would happen.

  1069. When the church's mo was they're just good people? Oh yeah,

  1070. it started off as an action to give waters to

  1071. people who were marching out a parade for something we

  1072. don't even believe in. And we just went out to

  1073. give waters and tell them God loves them. And it

  1074. was like, well, I was hurt by the church and

  1075. I was broken by the church, and I.

  1076. Was I'm so sorry, but here's some water.

  1077. And it's an attitude that we're not going on there

  1078. so that all of them can come.

  1079. To church today.

  1080. Maybe I'll show up at your coffee shop and pay

  1081. for a coffee or give you a word of encouragement

  1082. or actually, hey, hey, your mom's coming. I just saw

  1083. her come in and I'm yeah, you should probably just

  1084. stay right here, just look out for somebody else's kid.

  1085. Oh, y'all, don't hear me. It's just goodness.

  1086. We would all agree stopping a child from running in

  1087. the street is just a good thing to do. So

  1088. I'd like that, ain't my kid come here, Junior, come on, don't.

  1089. Even look back there? What?

  1090. And that seems extreme, but a lot of us live

  1091. like that. If it's outside of our jurisdiction of control,

  1092. we won't even check in to see if there's a

  1093. way we can show God's goodness. What if it becomes

  1094. the way that at least Transformation Church operates. We something

  1095. to see somebody stopped on the side of the road,

  1096. and they can't.

  1097. You don't see no toad truck insight stop. That's gonna

  1098. make me late for worship.

  1099. That's your worship today.

  1100. You missed it. That you missed it.

  1101. That was your worship today.

  1102. It's to show God's goodness to somebody.

  1103. Stand up everywhere, please, Psalm's twenty three to six. Surely

  1104. goodness and mercy shall follow.

  1105. Me, or y'all know that one. All the day.

  1106. Of my life, I found real revelation in this scripture

  1107. because until this week, I always imagine goodness and mercy

  1108. following me as an extension of God's love chasing me.

  1109. And I think it is that. But think about it

  1110. differently for one second. Surely goodness and.

  1111. Mercy shall follow me.

  1112. That means if I drop off goodness and I drop

  1113. off mercy, and I drop off goodness, and I drop

  1114. off mercy, and I drop off goodness and I drop

  1115. off mercy, what's following me is a trail. See, you

  1116. thought the goodness in mercy was just about you, But

  1117. God said, what would it look like if every day

  1118. you was dropping off goodness and dropping off.

  1119. Mercy, and dropping off goodness and dropping people would say, surely.

  1120. Goodness and mercy has been following them.

  1121. All the days of their life. So why the Bible

  1122. tells us in Galatians six '.

  1123. Nine don't grow weary in doing? He said, don't let

  1124. your goodness wear out. And many of us haven't done

  1125. enough good to get tired. Your goodness is on full

  1126. strength battery at one hundred, because you haven't done anything

  1127. to extend beyond. If we receive his goodness, we should

  1128. be giving away. How is this developed through spending time

  1129. with the Holy Spirit. I want everybody to close your

  1130. eyes please, and I want you to think about what

  1131. the Holy Spirit is trying.

  1132. To say to you through this message.

  1133. When I think about it, I think about Jesus, who

  1134. took off greatness to put on goodness.

  1135. He took off glory to.

  1136. Put on this flesh to come down here as an

  1137. act of goodness for all of us. And today, if

  1138. the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, I felt led

  1139. to pray for people.

  1140. Who haven't really.

  1141. Experienced the goodness of God in their life in a

  1142. way that's changed them. I'm not saying the little churchy

  1143. cliches like oh God is good, but if you really

  1144. want to hear me, experience a fresh revelation.

  1145. Of the goodness of God.

  1146. And this is what I desire because I can't give

  1147. away what I don't have, because I'm talking to you

  1148. about giving it away, but if you.

  1149. Ain't experienced it and it's not real to.

  1150. You, you won't give it away.

  1151. Today.

  1152. I don't want a churchy expression today. I want desperate people,

  1153. hungry people. If you're watching online, you're in this room,

  1154. I'm gonna ask you to do something. If you know

  1155. that you need a deeper revelation, watch this not just

  1156. in your head, but in your heart of the goodness

  1157. of God. Today, I'm going to invite you to the altar.

  1158. And I don't care who you are and where you're

  1159. from and how much money you make, but at this moment,

  1160. right now, if you want a fresh revelation today, I'm

  1161. going to pray something specific, but it's going to take

  1162. you moving by faith.

  1163. And this is the moment.

  1164. If you're in this room and you want this prayer,

  1165. I want you to come to the altar right now.

  1166. If you're at your home right now. I just want

  1167. you to stay and lift your hands. I want you

  1168. to take a posture right now. And I know some

  1169. of you right now now just moving.

  1170. Remember what I said in there.

  1171. There's some action that has to go along with some

  1172. of the things that God is about to ask you.

  1173. This is just an exercise right now. This is a

  1174. place of surrender. This won't be the place where all

  1175. the work happens. But today there are people that are moving,

  1176. and some of.

  1177. Y'are like, this is my time to leave.

  1178. That's fine, but this is somebody else's time to get transformed.

  1179. If you need a fresh revelation of the goodness of God,

  1180. I want you to get to this altar. We sang

  1181. that song earlier. All my life. You have been faithful

  1182. all my life. You have been so so good. With

  1183. every breath that I am able, I will sing up

  1184. the goodness of God. I need y'all to come up.

  1185. There's a lot more people coming, y'all scowed up.

  1186. Come on.

  1187. I see that floodgates of business people, mothers, fathers, sons, daughter.

  1188. Please don't let this.

  1189. Moment and you're insecurity and your fear tpr you just

  1190. see something is going to happen by faith as you

  1191. move to this altar.

  1192. I'm telling you right now.

  1193. Today many of you are going to experience the goodness

  1194. of God.

  1195. And this week is gonna be.

  1196. The first time that you move and giving it away

  1197. brand new. It's gonna be like clockwork. It's going to

  1198. be so easy because you're gonna be like, oh my God,

  1199. thank you, thank you for getting me out of that

  1200. situation and bringing me here.

  1201. Thank you for giving me breath of another day. Thank you.

  1202. Because goodness, watch, this is activated by gratitude. When you

  1203. actually allow the great things that God.

  1204. Has done in your heart.

  1205. To actually take root, great.

  1206. Things begin to come out. Come on, y'all. I want

  1207. y'all to get them all in here. Come on, y'all,

  1208. bring them in. Come on. I'm telling you.

  1209. There's something powerful that's about to happen. All through the aisles,

  1210. all through the roads. I'm telling you this is somebody's moment.

  1211. You're gonna be able to mark this as a shift

  1212. in your life. And I'm giving just about ten more

  1213. seconds because somebody's wrestling. There's a war going on on

  1214. the inside.

  1215. Church.

  1216. If you're still at your seat, I need you to

  1217. be praying right now.

  1218. This is what this whole moment is about.

  1219. Today There's gonna be a fresh revelation of God's goodness.

  1220. No, it hasn't been fair.

  1221. No, everything didn't work out how you thought it was.

  1222. But God's still been good. And when you live from.

  1223. That revelation, it will change the way that you have

  1224. relationship with everything and everybody. If you're at this altar,

  1225. and if you want to receive this, would you lift

  1226. your hands all over this place right now, I'm gonna

  1227. pray for you by faith. Today is a change and

  1228. a transformation in your life. Father, in the name of

  1229. Jesus Today, Father God, there is no question that you

  1230. have been good to us, but some of us have

  1231. been desensitized to feel and recognize your goodness, maybe because

  1232. of life circumstances, hurts, frustrations, pain, sin.

  1233. Today, God, we are asking you can still come. Come

  1234. on today. God, we are asking that we would get.

  1235. A fresh revel relation of your goodness. The Father, You're

  1236. not mad at us, waiting for us to fail again.

  1237. You're not holding us to the past as some of

  1238. our family, friends and coworkers would.

  1239. Father. Today you are giving us a fresh start.

  1240. You are giving us the opportunity to repent, to turn

  1241. and come back to the standard of goodness. Not greatness, God,

  1242. but to your standard.

  1243. Of good.

  1244. Thank you today that those who have been wallowing in

  1245. depression and wrong decisions and mistakes. Today, Father, they're coming

  1246. out of that quicksand and they're gonna find their footing again.

  1247. Oh I feel this. I hear the Holy Spirit saying, today,

  1248. you're gonna find your footing again. Yeah.

  1249. The thing that's been feeling like you've been going under,

  1250. you can't go. God said you're gonna hit something stable,

  1251. and he's a rock that the builders rejected, and his

  1252. name is Jesus. He said, you're about to hit something

  1253. stable and you're gonna be able to pull up again.

  1254. I hear the Holy Spirit saying this, whoe, thank you Jesus.

  1255. The fresh beginning that you need does not happen at

  1256. the new year. It's not coming at the turn of

  1257. a date. It's coming today because of a decision. It's

  1258. not gonna be twenty twenty five.

  1259. It's today.

  1260. It's not gonna be when everybody shouts and he said,

  1261. it's today. He said, a decision for me, a decision

  1262. to hear my voice, a decision to surrender.

  1263. It changes every This is a new year today.

  1264. It's a new year today, It's a new life today.

  1265. I feel this thing. It's a new day today.

  1266. It's a new way today. So I speak to every

  1267. lie that you've believed. I speak to every lie that

  1268. you've believed.

  1269. I speak to every lie that you believe.

  1270. Come down, every idol and idea that has tried to crush.

  1271. God's people who feel the presence of God.

  1272. Today, this situation is no longer the place of power.

  1273. God. We pray like Moses.

  1274. Now, would you let your goodness pass by your son?

  1275. Would you let your goodness pass by us? Would you

  1276. let your goodness pass by our household? Would you let

  1277. your goodness pass by, Father, God, our families, our marriages.

  1278. Would you allow your goodness, Father, God, to take over

  1279. our conversations?

  1280. Would you allow our goodness.

  1281. Father to help us make decisions to do better when

  1282. we want to do something else? God, let your goodness

  1283. overtake us.

  1284. Because I will see of the goodness of God. Yes,

  1285. I will see.

  1286. Of the goodness of God.
