Let Him Cook // Receipts (Part 2) // Michael Todd

Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to

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

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

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

Well, today, I want you to get out your Bibles

and your notepads because we are in week two of

a series we're calling somebody help me say receipts. We

are talking about the proof of our relationship with God

being in the fruit that we actually display. And I

am convinced that church people would have to do less

talking if they acted different. You wouldn't have to talk

about how we need.

To as a church do this.

If we was already just being generous everywhere we went,

if we were already displaying patience and joy and love

and kindness whenever we were faced with opposition, they wouldn't

know we have been with God. Cause in my flesh,

I slap you are y'all gonna be fake with me?

Right now, Somebody's like, I didn't say nothing, because I

already's laughed them.

No, this is what I'm saying in my flesh.

I want to go back to appeal to the nature

that rejects God. But when I am led by the spirit,

somebody say, I will be led by the spirit. Then

the spirit produces these kinds of fruits in your life,

and we find that in Galatians five twenty two. So

for the next nine to ten to some odd weeks

rest of the year, I'm gonna be walking us.

Through actually how to get proof in our.

Life without talking that God is in our life right.

So I need you to take real notes.

I don't need you to just sit there like you

gotta figure it out, because the tu for the matter

is you don't. Because until Jesus comes back and gets us,

or we meet him in the sky, we will all

be working out our salvation. And if you don't get

in watch this a position of humility. You will listen

to the thing that God wants for you and think

it's for somebody else. I can't tell you how many

people right now are listening to me. And when I

start talking about this, you're gonna think about somebody else

and God saying you may not be where I want

you to be in that area. You should listen to

how I'm trying to refine, produce and transform you today.

And so I want everybody's hearts to be open, because

today I want you to get some more fruit. I

want you to have receipts for what God has done

in your life Galatians five point twenty two. But the

fruit of the spirit is help me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

goodn uh uh. We gotta y'all ain't read in school

together your patience. We gonna sing, we gonna say this

allowed strong, okay. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,

come on, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness.

And self country.

Against these things, there is no watch this limit. It says,

no law. But what a law is is a limit.

What the Bible is saying is I will not let

there be a limit on your love, if you would

allow it to erupt in you. I won't let that

watch this be a limit on your piece if you

would allow me to work that fruit on the inside

of you. And today I need to talk about how

important I think the most important fruit is. Because most

people want me to do this in sequential order. You

want me to talk about love today, and I kind

of wanted to talk about love.

But the truth of the matter is some of y'all ain't.

Gonna allow love to actually take root in your heart

because it takes time to transform. And some of us

are so ready to get to where we're supposed to be,

or we want to be, or where we think we

should be, that we will not let God do the

work on the inside of us. And so when I

begin to look at the nine fruits of the Spirit,

I begin to say, which fruit do we need to

accomplish all the other ones? Which fruit if we could

just get this one would allow us the opportunity to

actually be processed long enough to develop the other fruits.

Because it's not the magic trick of the spirit. It's

something that has to be produced.

That means, it's.

Something that takes time, something that has to be watered, cultivated.

Work through, transformed.

So today I'm talking about the.

Fruit of the spirit of can you guess it? Patience?

Uh huh. Some of y'all was like, payt God, patience, God.

Get Why is that?

Though?

Like for real?

Like, if I said, does anybody need more love, Everybody's like, oh, yes, love.

Anybody want to live in joy? Oh Josh jo j.

I got that juge that matter. If I said peace,

it's like, oh my God, I just want more peace.

But patience is.

The thing that you know eludes our prayer list a lot.

I don't know about you, but I don't come to

God all the time. But be like Lord and today

just working me patience, cause I know patience takes other stuff.

It's not something I just received. It's something I gotta

walk through.

To get patience.

I don't just get it, I gotta go get it.

And so when I start to think about the fruit

of the spirit of patience, and I went back to

why I don't like patience? Can I be that honest

right now? Why I don't ask the Holy Spirit to

develop patience in me is because I know this gonna

kill my flesh. Y'all sitting up here acting like you

like waiting. Where are all the people that gonna be

real with me that hate waiting? Can you cause this

is what we need God to stand in.

She stood up? Sit down? Okay.

But this is what I found out because I begin

to think about how it was introduced to waiting or

to patience, and it's attached to waiting, and most of

the time it's a negative connotation. When I was young,

ah ah, wait, you cannot have.

Deserved before your meal.

Hah, wait you're not tall enough to get on this ride.

Wait ah, you don't have your driver's permit. Get out

the driver's seat, sit in the back.

Think about how we were introduced to waiting. It's the

law of first mention in our life, or the first

becomes the foundation. And so many times how we're introduced

to something depending on how you were raised, where you

were at, who your parents were, Waiting had a negative

connotation before you even had a choice to be able

to look at it differently.

No, sit down and wait.

Till I get done shopping. Okay, I want you to,

for real think about how you were introduced to waiting.

Most of us, it was negative. So today I'm coming

to reverse a paradigm or a way of thinking that

has been in your mind so that you can see

that patience is not watch this a punishment.

Point number one.

Patience isn't a punishment. Out of all of the things

that God says, I want you to have.

Receipts or fruit for this in.

Your life, he could have used anything, and one of

the main ingredients is patience. So God does not see

patience as a negative.

He actually sees.

It as watch this necessary that anybody that is actually

gonna walk out what he's called them to are in

this life is going to need this receipt at all times.

And your life is pretty miserable when you do.

Not have patience because everybody on your nurse. Oh, y'all,

stop playing everybody on your nurse. When you call somebody,

depending on how many rings it is, what are they doing.

I just text them and told them I was gonna

call them.

I'm on the fourth ring. Don't let us talk about food.

You got your grub Hub pre ordered for four days

from now. I don't want to wait.

I don't want Okay, when we get into that space,

what it is doing, watch this is slowly desensitizing us

to a spiritual character trait that the Holy Spirit wants

to develop in us. And our culture is working Christ's

character out of us. Did you hear what I just said?

Our culture, my kids do not even have to wait

for a show to come on. Some of y'all don't

know like me neither. Some of y'all ain't old enough

to understand. When you wanted to watch a show, you

had to Back in the day, you couldn't just go

to an app and pick whatever season you had to

catch it, and you.

Missed the beginning all the time. I'll shoot, I ain't

even know what was on my kids now, like season.

Six, episode fifteen, Cat in the Hat. Though it may

be fine for technology, is it okay for your transformation?

Okay?

Patience is not a punishment. Can you say it with me?

Patience is not a punished Just one more time.

Patience is not a.

What if just dream with me that you could look

at patients as your pleasure, Like what I'm not saying

you there now because I'm not, But what if using

patience was a pleasure for you?

Sir?

We can't see you for another forty five minutes. That's fine,

I'll wait. You know, you know, people that have patients

are usually people that have their needs met. People who

do not have their needs met are in a hurry

and a rush and trying to Sorry, sir, the plane

will be delayed for three hours. My pleasure to sit

in this airport and wait with all of these germs.

Now now, watch, now, watch.

It's a matter of perspective because if they're telling you

you have to wait for the three hours because one of

the wings was faulty, you.

Know what take all the time?

You know what my cousin is a mechanic hold on Jerome.

I'm here at.

A about the call of airline.

Let me stop.

If you knew the consequences of not waiting, you might

think about it differently.

If you had to have an a.

Invasive surgery and they said, well, we have an intern

here that has seen this surgery on video and he

can do it. Or the doctor will be here in

about forty five minutes. He got stuck in traffic.

Charlie.

Sorry, I'm glad you're here, but I'm waiting on, doctor Karakian.

What if waiting was my my pleasure? Okay, I'm just

trying to introduce you to a different way of thinking it.

Patience is not negative.

It's practical for you reaching your promise. Because anything that

God has up ahead of you that is big, it's

gonna take a process to get there.

And most of us are quitting.

Because we don't like waiting. Okay, So, Pastor Michael, I

need you to tell me today the quickest way to

develop patience. I got you, I got you. I'm gonna

tell you the quickest way. Get your notepad ready to

get your fault. Ready, I'm about to tell you the

quickest way to develop patience in your life. I'm founder

ge Code point one. Waiting you wanna develop patience, Waiting

is the way. Waiting is the way, why, pastor Mike,

Because patience needs a process. If you want to develop patience,

God's always gonna hand you a process. And this is

now why we have to understand the pattern of our God.

The reason I read the Bible is because I get

to understand his patterns. Like I'm not so thrown off

because I'm not the only one that had to go

through this. So when I think back in the Bible

that God is using these amazing men and women of God,

he always put them in process.

Noah could have just had.

A boat show up at his house, but God made

him take the wood and build the boat. He put

him in a process. Abraham in his old age could

have just been given a child, or adopted a child,

or taken a son. But God said, I'm gonna give

you a promised child and the nations will be blessed

out of you, and then made him wait for twenty

five years.

He put him in.

A a process where he waited so long that he

got one of his concubines and his wife got together

and made a plan and made seven thing illegitimate because

they thought God had forgot.

Even Jesus. Jesus could have.

Straight to the cross, down grown man.

Full beard, hair like wool.

I am Jesus, nail me to the cross.

He said, I'm not gonna do it like that.

I'm gonna let him be born into a manger, and

I'm gonna let him live for thirty I'm gonna put

him in a proth.

I'm gonna make.

Him be able to go to the synagogue. And then

at twelve he gonna disrespect his mama because he didn't

tell him where she was going. We don't hear for

him for eighteen years, and at thirty three he shows

back up as a carpenter. He went through a What

I'm trying to let everybody know is that God is

gonna put you in a process to develop patients. I

thought about one of my favorite dishes. It's mac and cheese.

How many people love macaroni and cheese? Okay, let me

ask this question. How many people can cook macaroni and cheese?

Half of y'all are lying, But the only way I

thought I could cook macaroni and cheese here on the

platform was quickly, and you saying no, but you ain't

got no pots, you ain't got no pants.

And if I wanted mac.

And cheese in this moment, oh man, this looks delectable.

I'm going to put this in what is quick for

three minutes and thirty seconds. This is what a lot

of our patients looks like. Let me just go through

this quick process, real quick, and it might not be

as good, but it'll get the job done. It'll work.

How many of us have been living below what.

God has for us because we've been just saying, well,

it'll work. They're not the man of virtue that I'm

supposed to be with, but they're here.

It'll work.

This is not the job or the purpose or the

thing God.

Showed me, but.

It work.

And what if I tried to convince you that this

was very valuable. What if I tried to make you

pay thirty seven dollars for this gourmet hand crafted and

when I say hand I'll put it in the microwave

of my hand macaroni and cheese, you would walk away

because it is a cheap counterfeit for something that you know,

could be so much better if it had watched this

word time. Thanksgiving is coming up, and the one thing

that my wife is a excellent assassin in making. She's

an assassin, is cracking cheese. We don't even call it

mac and cheese. It's addictive, probably not a politically correct name,

but it works in.

The Todd household.

And I don't know if I got like thirty minutes

left in this message, and if there was somebody who

was a master at cooking, I.

Would rather wait.

For something that has gone through a process then settle

for something I can have right now. Is there a

chef in the house, Chef Tiffany? Are you?

Are you with us? Chef Tiffany? Could you?

I don't know. They told me somebody was at a kitchen.

There you go, everybody, say what's.

Up to Chef Tiffany.

Okay, Chef Tiffany right now is in the back and

represent scratched kitchen. We just made that up and her

and Bubba are actually working on what y'all working on

back there?

Mac and cheese.

Yeah, we got some smoke, good to mac and cheese.

We got some garlic, butter herb chicken.

We got some Brussels sprouts, and we also have a

peach cobblood.

I want to say glory to the most hot god, Chef, Tiffany.

We're gonna check back with you in a little bit.

You gonna do your thumb this isle, and I'm gonna

wait out here with the people, and then I'm coming back.

There to get me a bike.

Amen.

Why would I settle?

Ooh? Now they call this the cheese mix. What is this?

I don't know if this came from a cown.

And how many believers are walking around somebody said, don't

eat it? How many people are walking around with a

mixture that has no authentic ingredients. This is why when

they taste us, when they see us in our job place,

when they see us at the game, when they see

how we post, they're just like, this can't be so.

The title of today's sermon is watch.

This, let him cook. Let him cook. If the Master Chef,

our savior, our God, gets his hand on your situation,

don't rush him.

In the process.

Be patient and let him cook. I'm about to get happy.

Some of the things that.

You need in your relationship, in your marriage, in your heart.

It's not coming quick. I am sorry. To tell you

twenty twenty five will not be the year everything God

said comes to you.

They don't want to hear that.

God, Dog, I just lost half the crowd.

Do you want me to lie to you?

Twenty twenty five You will see miracles, but it may

not be the whole thing, because if He gave it.

To you all at one time, it might destroy you.

God.

Okay, somebody say let him cook. When I look that

up in the very sophisticated Urban Dictionary, it means to

let somebody do something they're good at because it's going

to become better for you if you let them have

watch this the time. What does that mean? If somebody

that is a master needs time to do something.

That means you have to wait and waiting write.

This definition down is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble,

or suffering without getting angry or upset. So waiting, I'm

gonna say it again, is the capacity to accept, tolerate,

and tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

So the truth of the matter is some of us

have not been waiting. We've just been complaining. Because it's

only waiting if you're not upset and throwing ten potantrums

and God saying how you wait matters. That's why in

Romans eight twenty eight, you have to look at this

through the lens of patient, it says. And we know

that God, the master chef, is causing every ingredient of

our life to work together for the good of those

who love God and are called according to His purpose.

So when I think about waiting on God, I gotta

put my hope in who has their hands on the situation.

And some of us are waiting aimlessly because God's not

in it. You didn't hear what I just said. This

was your idea, your plan, your mamaem plan for your life.

You're waiting on something to happen that God never commissioned

or ordained in your life. Well, I'm gonna be. I'm

gonna be.

I'm gonna be an entrepreneur and dud.

It do you in dipoo pooh? My question is, did

you do Proverbs three, five and six acknowledge God in

all of your ways? Did you bring it back to

him so that he could say yeah? But kind of

like this, and many of us are frustrated because we.

Are waiting on something.

Watch this God never promised. I'm in your business, and

I need you to hear me say this very clearly.

God is not committed.

To the promises you made yourself in an emotional state

while listening to worship music. You wrote it down in

a journal, but he never said it. You saw it

on somebody else's Instagram, but he never instructed it for you.

And now, because.

Of mismanaged expectations, you are mad at God, frustrated with

your present, and ready to give up because your hope

is in something that will never happen because he didn't

say it.

All right, let me keep moving.

Let me get back to my notes, But the Holy

Spirit wanted you to know He is not on a

condition based. I want to say it with love in

my heart because it is love, because I get sad

when people get frustrated at God. But it's because, well,

I'm not married yet. He didn't say at twenty two

you were getting married. You said that.

You made that.

So since two, you're twenty nine now, and God, instead

of looking at that seven years as a blessing of development,

you have been in misery because your own idea did

not match up with God's instructions for your life. I

can't tell you how many pastors are pastoring a church

that is at the brink of going down because they were.

Actually supposed to.

Partner with another church, but their pride did not let

them be able to submit in a place.

They had to be a man of God.

M A. N. D. They have to be the man

of God, and so now.

They're managing so much smaller than they should be.

Okay, tysor Mike, why are you saying this point number two?

Waiting seems whack. I'm gonna give you a Michael Todd point.

Waiting seems wack, but patience produces. Watch this power. Waiting

seems whack. Every time I got to wait, it seems whack.

But the whole time I'm waiting, God's working. The whole

time I'm waiting. Say it with me, God's working. What

you do not see is the most beautiful and powerful

part of our God is every time it looks like

a closed door, you don't see the door that just

cracked open. Every time it looks like they walked away,

God said they could not fit in this next room.

I'm taking you into.

The power of God is always working while we are waiting.

That's why it may seem whack. But power is being produced.

How do you know? Because when the.

Disciples were waiting on the Holy Spirit, he told them

go to the upper room and wait right there until

I give you power. And all you about to go

out and change this country and this region and change

this place, but do not go without power.

So how did they get power? They waited?

Oh my God, They did not go do more things,

grab more things, find more things.

Gather more people. They sat in.

A room for an un marked amount of time. Was

they playing Uno dominos? Were they playing Patty?

We don't know where?

They singing songs and hymns and where they had to

occupy space until God said, all right, they've been in

a place long enough, I can give them power. Could

it be that you won't stay in a place long

enough for God to drop power in your life.

You've been at seven.

Churches seven and a half because you're testing us out.

And what I'm saying to you, what I'm saying to you,

the only common denominator in all those places that weren't

good was you. And could it be that God's saying

no place will be perfect, but I need you to

get planted.

I need you to get somewhere, and.

I need you to allow me to develop roots on

the inside of you. So what's in the soil there

can be cultivated and come up and actually bear everybody

shot at me.

Fruit.

You need fruit in your life, but you cannot get.

Fruit if you are not planted. That's a whole nother message.

That's a whole other message. So what I'm saying to

you is waiting may seem rack whack, but patience produces

power acts one for on one occasion, while he was

eating with them, he gave them this command, do not

leave Jerusalem. But ooh what that say? Wait for the

gift my father promised, which you have heard me speak about,

which is the Holy Spirit. So now I got it

passed some mic I'm gonna let God cook in my life.

As somebody say, let him cook. I know waiting is

the way. I know that it might seem whack, but

it produces power. Let me give you another point. Waiting

is work. Now, don't don't let me get up up

here and give you three points in a poem and

be like I'm going out and I'm just gonna wait

on a thead. Waiting is work, But it's good work.

It's a work that develops something in you. You don't

just feel depleted. You get something out of it. And

what ends up happening is when you understand that waiting

is work.

Watch this, you'll.

Understand that patience is still proactive. Sometimes when we begin

to wait on the Lord, we think it's an excuse

to be lazy. Well, I'm just waiting on God. What

are you doing in the meantime, I'm just weighing on God.

He ain't brought me another job yet. Okay, So what

gift are you perfecting? What are you reading? Who are

you helping? What seeds are you sowing in a season

where you have time to sow those seeds? Whose vision

are you undergirding? Where are you putting your effort in time?

Netflix is not about to produce the miracle you need.

You got eight hours seven in a series that's gonna

come out with another episode next week, and you have

given your time, your precious treasure, to something that cannot

produce the right type of fruit.

So I want to.

Let you know right now as I'm standing here, that

waiting is work.

But when you wait, it means that you.

Gotta be proactive. I'm challenging some people right now who

are in between things to do something that sows a

seed right now for the future. You want to see

you waiting on kids, babysit somebody's kids for day night.

So a seeded.

She said, you better talk my numbers ninety sixty six

four three two. I hear you. Sis you waiting on God,

then sow a seed that proves you're waiting proactively. Well,

I'm waiting for my money to get right because when

my money you're right, I'm gonna give. Boy, I promise you,

I'm dropping when God blesses me like that. No, you're

not because you won't give a dollar. Okay, let me

stop Ecclesiastes eleven six.

Plant your seed.

In the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you

don't know what's gonna profit.

Will it come from.

One activity or another? Oh, it is my favorite part

or maybe bo who knows what God would build as

you are proactively waiting on him. You're waiting on that

loan to come through. Start budgeting right now like it

already came through. Oh God, cause I'm like, why is

this important? That's my last point because waiting is actually worship.

Waiting is worship because patience changes your heart posture, Tiffany,

are y'all still back there making my food because I

ain't seen y'all in like twenty two minutes.

Yep, we're still working on it.

It's still working. That chicken look raw.

Yeah, it's coming.

That feel real wrong.

You gotta just wait and see.

Did y'all hear what she said?

She said, just wait and see. What if our worship

to God in this next season is a wait in

sea worship, which takes one word. Everybody tell me this word,

say this word, write it down? Is everybody say trust?

See right now?

It's easy to believe that something is happening because I

can see it. But what happens when the screen is

no longer on? What's happening in the background of my life?

What happens when the only thing I can see is me?

What happens with nothing back there? I can take them

off the screen? Please, can y'all take them off the

screen in the back, Just take them off the screen?

I said it four times.

I was really trying to work it. God damn, this

is live straight from Taglahoma.

Like.

I seen it.

I was like, oh, God, all right, I love our church.

Shout out to the production team. Can we shout them out?

They be killing all right, I'll be doing all kinds

of crazy stuff. Maybe this button got my bad. I

had to wait on that, not the message. Do use me.

Okay, okay, God, I hear you.

I got impatience live in front of everybody. I'm humble.

I hear you. Let him cook? He said, Yeah, why

are you preaching that message?

I'm about to cook you goad. But isn't that how

God does us at the moment we get in the

role of the teacher, like we have everything figured out?

He said, I'm gonna expose you in front of all

of them. I received, somebody say, let him cook. Patience

is not a punishment, it's preparation. I thank God for

all of the moments that he didn't allow the process

to be televised. I thank God for all of the

moments he allowed me to develop something on the inside

when I only fifteen Instagram likes, y'all, don't hear me, like, oh,

Paus Michael, this social media like no. God was developing

something in me when barely anybody was saying. And I

learned something very valuable in this moment that I would

love to share with you is that because the posture

of my heart begin to change when I will wait,

I realized that I wasn't just waiting for God, I

was waiting with God. Today, I want you to be

introduced to Emmanuel, the God with us. That means you

have to have relationship with him. If I tell Charles,

a bro, I got something for you, wait right here,

my man will wait there for me, me for a long

time because of our watch this history, because of the

relationship we have.

My word without.

Explanation, will keep him at a certain place waiting for

me to come back, not because I'm perfect, not because Gods,

because we got history. When you spend time with God,

this is the importance of having a devotion life and

not just coming to church, but actually being with God every.

Day of your life, sitting with him. That John when

it says He is.

The vine, we are the vinding, he is the vine dresser.

Being connected to him, abiding with him. These are words

that allow us to know whatever we go through, he

is with us. And sometimes the best part of life

is not what we get from God, is just being

with him. Somebody say, Emmanuel God with me. Yeah, you

know what, it's been a long time. I need to

go taste this food because if not, service will be

over and I will be forced to devour whatever concoction

this is. And I'm still not sure fully the nutritional

value of what is?

Somebody said it's none.

You don't know that there's people watching out right now

surviving on this. This is all Some people have the resources,

finances or so. Could it be that I look healthy

but what's actually going in is not. I've been waiting.

The time has come, Chef tef. I am coming to

represent Scrat's Kitchen.

None, all y'all to wait on me.

If y'all start leaving, tackle them at the door.

Okay, if they start, and.

I'm just playing, what's up? Fam, y'all? Good shout out

to the production people that are in the back. Can

y'all give it up for them real quick? All right?

I've been waiting. And she said mac and cheese, chicken.

What else did she say? Russell sprouts? And uh it

was a dessert. What was the dessert? Peach cobbler? Okay,

I hope they got ice cream. Okay, let's let's see.

We are now in smell good in here. Before I

even get.

To what I am going to taste, I smell it.

There is a fragrance in the room right now. If

y'all could be back here, you would smell the aroma

before you even see it, taste it, or touch it.

Could it be that people are getting a whiff of

your waiting before you even come in the room. Right now,

even as I'm coming into this kitchen, I see, oh

my god, matter of fact, the old.

My goodness, the heat is here.

Hold on, if I'm gonna be in the kitchen though,

I gotta be a chef, come on, help me please, yeah,

let me Chef Michael. I need y'all to call me

Chef Michael from now on. I'm gonna this smells so good,

Chef Tiffany, this process, you know, I'm gonna be gat

up with that. You know what I'm saying. They playing

with it. I'm gonna do it for real though, Is

this right.

Chef Tiffany.

Yes, that's right? Okay. As as the process is going forward,

this is what they call plating, right, Yes, that means

there has to be a presentation. That means that what

was done in the dark and actually was made where

nobody could see. There's a level of intentionality of how

we bring it and present it to other people. Church,

it's taught us to do a better job at presenting

the one that loved and cared for us to this world.

We gotta plate Christ, we gotta love our enemies, we

gotta walk and joy. That's why this series of having

receipts is so important, because we have to display patience.

And right now as you are putting a garnishment, is

that a garnishment? It's micro greens? You see. I ain't

that healthy.

I don't even know what that is?

A micro green? And hold on, we got to represent

on our pocket.

I like that.

What you do?

Oh?

Look at you?

Hold on? What is this?

What does this do?

I got one, hold on.

I'm a real chef, thank you.

This is a thermometer to make sure that the food

was cooked correctly to the right temperature. That means that

the way that we live actually has to have a

level of temperature to it that can actually get out

the impurities. Church, what I'm telling you is when we're

asking God to do the work in us, sometimes the

fire gets turned up. The only way this is cooked

is because it went to beat. It went through fire.

I hear the fire back there right now. It has

been through a process.

And all I'm saying is, what if the Holy Spirit's

whole job was to make you know that weaning on

him being patient. It's not a punishment, but it's the

process that gets best fruit out of your life. At

this moment, Chef Tiffany, I want to eat this, but

I don't want to eat it alone. So what I

want to do right now this that mac and cheese

look like it talk.

Do you know what I'm saying? Y'all know I cheese

that be.

Like like single noodles they be, but like mac and

cheese that back.

That's good mac and cheese. Do you hear me?

And that feels like Chef Tiffany, I'm gonna, actually this.

Is mom right here.

I'm gonna take this and I'm actually gonna let somebody

taste it out in the auditorium hungry out there? I

didn't hear you. Is anybody hungry, Chef Tiffany.

Come on, Let's let's go, Let's let's get right now.

let me move over here. Okay, my man, what's your name? Bro? Okay?

And and and did you taste it? Is it good?

He said?

I asked him, is it good? His response is it's great.

Could it be that the process takes whatever was good?

The marriage was good, My business was good.

But if I let God work it in me, it

can become.

Somebody shot at me, great, I need somebody else.

To hold on.

Now you've looked certified to be able to taste.

This is family over here? Is it good? Pastor?

Barbara?

It's excellent?

Did you what did you taste? She?

I said, what did you?

She said, It's excellent because I smelled it.

But think about it. But think about it. Anybody that's

been around good.

Food, they can tell if it's good. Can anybody tell

that God's been good to you by not even talking

to you, just by being around you?

Wasn't that some peach cobbler.

Who wants some dessert in the now, that's.

Where all the hungry saints is. You're the I don't

know no food, but give me the peach coper. It

got ice cream on it.

Oh shoot, Sunday morning special. Hold on, grab me, Okay,

give him.

What's up? All they want is beat gobble. Come on,

gonna taste? Can you taste it? Don't taste it right now?

Mama Fletcher tastes it right now. And if it's nasty,

we're gonna rate it one to ten right now, and

Chef Tifney gonna be mad.

Her response had no words but a praise. Then she

went into a praise.

Maybe what what they say?

Chrisehne Is it good? And she said it's good?

Did y'all not get none?

My bed? My b eed my bed. What would it

look like.

If the world was that hungry to taste and seek.

Y'all miss it?

What would it look like if the fruit that we

live with and we love with was that attractive that

people would yell to get our attention. Tell me about Jesus.

Let me know how you made it through the divorce.

Let me know.

I heard about a man, Oh that can heal your infirmity.

I heard about it. It's been too long, it's been

too long that we haven't heard the cries.

Of the world.

For the Jesus. We have, and could it be because

we have not been bearing enough fruit? Standing all over

this building. We are in a season and in a

time and in a place where the truth is, we're

not the chef. We get to talk and touch certain things,

but we serve the chef, and waiting has to become

worship for us.

Today.

I'm just asking, even in the room, if you would

just wait before you leave. Hear me.

Hear me, because this is maybe the.

Most powerful part of this service is that when we wait.

Listen to me, Waiting is warfare. When you wait, you're

going to war with the enemy. You don't, hear me,

because it proves you trust God. And what the enemy

cannot get in front of and stop, he gets behind

and tries to rush it.

I should be married, I shouldn't be a millionaire. I

should do this. I should do that, And the Holy Spirit.

Said, hold up, be patient. I'm Emmanuel the God with you.

And if you will, let the Holy Spirit just work

this thing in you. We sing it today. You're in

on time.

God, you love feeling possible.

You're in on time. Do you understand and in the

concept that even when we think he's late.

He's right all the time.

So maybe today the prayer is, God, let me not

wait anymore for you. Let me wait with you if

you need to pray that prayer and be sincere about

it so that the fruits of the spirit can begin

to develop. Would you just lift your hands all over

I want to pray for you. Come on, Yeah, today, Father,

we want the receipt of patience, and the proof only

comes if there's fruit in our life. So today, all

over this world, all in this arena, today, God, we

are asking you to help us wait with you. Let

us not be so in a hurry to move from

this place to go to that place that we miss

the miracle of here. Let us not be so in

a rush to prove that we can make it, or

that other people can see how good we are, that

we missed your goodness in this moment, even as some

of us sit here hurting and want to move, Father God,

would you please let us not leave here without getting

everything from here we're supposed to get here is Holy,

Father God, for all of us that have been worrying

it while we're waiting. Today, God, I thank you, there

would be another level of trust that would be birthed

on the inside of us. And Father God, expose the

areas in my heart that do not believe you're thinking

about the details of my life. Would you, Father God,

help my unbelief. Come on, y'all, let's pray real prayers today.

Would you help my unbelief where it seems like you've

forgotten about me, were forgotten about our family, forgotten about

our church. Today I switch my perspective that this waiting

or this patience is not a punishment. It's actually a

proof of your love for me, that you will put

me in a process to develop in me the promise

that you have for me. Father. This song is frustrating,

but I pray it becomes our heart's posture. I don't

mind waiting.

I don't mind way, I don't mind way. On you, Lord,

I don't mind way, I don't mind way, I don't

mind way on you all.

Day that way, oh my Lord shall read.

Ye, sir, they shall mount, they shall mount h always

like that.

And so they they show up, Dear, I feel this president, They.

Shower up and nothing.

That's what happens when I wait.

We're gonna sing it one more time, but our dear

faith to erupt in this place. Say day that away,

day that away, Hey on the come on believe.

It shall read Hey there.

They shall mount, shout moun hey wise like any and sir,

hey day show show way day shall they shall no

you think.

That's what happens when you wait. That's what happens when

I wait, Hey, that's what happens.

When I will be patient, I will let God you,

I'll let him do the work. Somebody, just lift your hands.

That's where happen. That's what happens when wait, whoa, I

feel that thing.

Come on, y'all. That's what happens when you believe it

with faith. That's what happens.

When you somebody is about to get a fresh perspective.

That's what happens when you away.

That's what happened when you wait.

That's weigh on the Lord, Wait on the Lord.

God's ministry to somebody's say, he will read you.

Come on listening. We're gonna wait on the Lord.

There's a scripture that says that God is not being

slow about his promise, as many of you are thinking.

He said, he is being patient and giving you time

to get your stuff together and bring it to him

so that you will not be devoured.

Today. I feel like, even in this posture of.

Waiting, that there are some people that need to.

Give their life to Christ.

And I'm not talking about some little like, yeah, I

did the church thing. I'm talking about this is about

to transform your life. I'm talking to teenagers, and I'm talking.

To the sixty eight year old men who have.

Lived their own way and everybody in between.

Today, if you want.

To give your life to Christ today, He's been waiting

on you. He's allowed his grace and his mercy to

pour out so that every line that you believe would

bring you to this point and.

You would see that there is a loving savior.

Who is ready and willing to be with you in

every situation. God. Some Mike, why are you so passionate?

Because this took me from being a liar, a manipulator,

addicted to pornography. Dark things in my heart are bad

person and God didn't make me perfect, but now I'm

progressing to be like him. And today is your day

of salvation. On account of three. If you're in the

room I feel the presence of God or you're online,

today is your day of salvation. God has been patient

with you, and today is the day that you make

a decision to make Him the lord of your life. One.

You're making the greatest decisions that you could ever make

to your name will be reached in the Lamb's Book

of Life for all eternity. Three. If you want to

make Jesus you're a personal Lord and savior, lift your

hand up.

All over this place. I see you, sister, I see you,

my brother. I see you, my brother, I see you

my sister. Transformation Church, I see you. And more than

I see you, God, I need y'all to eruptive praise.

In this place.

Hallelujah.

Listen, I Transformation Church, nobody praise alone.

That's the Charles.

Come up here with me, man, I want us to stand.

Everybody, just grab somebody's hand.

Yeah, there's unity coming to this thing. I feel the

presence of God in this place. I know that God's

about to do something that's strong and strategic. Father, in

the name of Jesus, I want everybody in this place

to repeat after me, say God, thank you for sending.

Jesus just for me. Today. I give you my life.

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

with all power just for me. Thank you for being

patient with me. I will live for you all.

The days of my life. Change me, renew me, transform me.

I'm yours in Jesus' name. Amen. Can we throw a

party in this street like Heaven is doing?

Holle lou y'all? Oh, come on? Can we celebrate people

who just.

Came their life to Jesus.

Hey, listen, if you just made that decision, if you

just prayed that prayer, I want you to lift your

hand boldly one more time. We got a gift we

want to give you. So, if you just gave your

life to Jesus, our ushers want to give you a Bible.

Can we celebrate people again who just made that choice.

Keep your hand.

Lifted, Hey, listen, we are so proud of you for

making that choice. On the indside of that Bible, you

can let us know that you made that decision by

texting the word saved. There's resources, Bible plans, and I

want to encourage you to make a commitment.

Make a decision.

I'm gonna commit to be in God's house. We have

prayer that happens on Wednesday night. You need a brand

new fresh start. You need some patience. Prayer is the

place where patience is developed. But we're so happy for you. Hey, listen,

we close service out this way every single.

Week, and we're gonna do this. And I want to

invite two groups of people.

One some of you need a place for patients to

just sit with you. I want to take a moment

and I'm gonna open up the altar as our worship

team begins to sing. And some of you just need

practice waiting immediately, like you don't need to put.

It off for a second. We got to church.

A little tell of y'all look down like, oh my goodness,

I'm about to go get some food. Some of you

need a moment to let patients sit with you. As

we begin to worship, our team is gonna sing. I'm

gonna invite you to come down front if you just

need a moment to sit with God to worship.

Another thing we're gonna do is every single week.

In the back of the room, we have an entire

prayer team that is ready right now to pray with

you struggled with waiting. If there's a specific situation that

instead of waiting, you've been worrying about and you need

somebody to pray for you.

Nothing too big, nothing too small.

I want to invite you as you least stop, our

team would absolutely love to pray with you.

I'm gonna take a moment. If you want to come

down to the front.

To worship, you can go ahead and do that, and

I'm just gonna pray over us that as we close

out this service, that this would be a transformation, not just.

A moment, but that something goes to our life.

Would you lift your hands, Lord God, thank you so

much for everything you did in the service. Thank you,

Lord Jesus, that patience to us would become a practice,

Lord Jesus, that I wouldn't just stay within this moment,

Lord God, but I thank you that even as we worship,

even as we go out, even as we receive prayer,

that you would do something on the inside of us. God,

we don't want to be impatient anymore. We don't want

to live a rushed life, Lord Jesus. But when you live,

let us live at the pace of your grace, Lord God,

trusting you fully that you have our life in your hands.

Lord God, we love you so much. Is in the

beautiful name of Jesus. We pray and everybody said, Hey, listen,

you can come down to worship, but we love you

so much.

If you would like to stay, if you're a.

Part of the recording, you can do that.

But before next week, go out and live a transform life.

We love you so much. Come on, let's worship together.

Come on, let's sing it up, say wait on, 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.
