-
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, all right,
-
So I'm gonna be obedient to Okay, forty eight minutes woo all right.
-
I'm so full right now, okay, And so today I'm gonna give
-
you out of my overflow. Yeah yeah, because I'm gonna barely touch these
-
notes because what's in me right now is it's coming out no matter what.
-
If y'all don't get it, I'm going to quick trip and whoever's behind that
-
counter, y'all. If I'm just telling you right now, I was talking
-
to my team in the back. I'm full to over flowing, and so
-
I have to be obedient to what God has told me to do. And
-
it's just gonna keep going all week. Like I'm telling you right now,
-
we're in a new season of our church and it started, I really do
-
believe after our twenty one days of prayer and fast thing. And I don't
-
know if you sense it or feel it, but the church is alive.
-
This is not a numeric thing. This is a sole thing. There are
-
things that are beginning to happen, and this is an atmosphere where you're gonna
-
be able to come into. This atmosphere, I'm prophesying to some people this
-
is an atmosphere you're going to be able to come in. And this atmosphere
-
is going to ignite with the seed that God is placed on the inside of.
-
You see, a seed in the wrong atmosphere cannot grow. But when
-
you come into fertile atmosphere, there're gonna be ideas that when you come into
-
worship, you're gonna have to stop and get your phone because God said,
-
you came into the right atmosphere to receive the wisdom for what I've asked you
-
to do. Some of you years of unforgiveness, it's gonna fall off in
-
this atmosphere. You like, I don't even like that song, And God
-
said, but that's the song that's the key to your breakthrough. And I'm
-
going to allow. I hear this as clear as I'm standing up here,
-
being here at this large gathering on Sunday. It's going to be a lifeline
-
for the people that God's calling to this season of fruit. Hear what I'm
-
saying to you, it's not to build a monument to anything, but the
-
right environment produces certain fruit. And I'm telling you that the word that God
-
has given me to share with you over the next probably eight weeks was a
-
complete deed tour from the plan I had. When I was in Africa,
-
the Lord interrupted me and said, you want to say something, but I
-
have something better to say. And I said, Holy Spirit, what do
-
you want to do. I went to Africa and I asked the Holy Spirit,
-
what am I supposed to preach? She said, the only thing you're
-
supposed to preach is the overflow. So I go to Africa and I thought
-
I was going to give him the message I gave y'all on Sunday and I
-
started preaching it and something came out of me that was different. I said,
-
what was that? He said, it was the hunger of the people.
-
I said, what do you mean? He said, there was a
-
different demand. There was a different demand, he said, people many times
-
in the Western culture come to be entertained and inspired. Entertained and inspired,
-
he said, but these people came for their lives to be transformed. And
-
he said, and when you stood up there under the power that I gave.
-
He said, I'm going to always supply my people what they need.
-
And I said, so, what how I preach like that back at home?
-
He said, you stand up and tell the people demand more from God.
-
Y'all. God, I gotta go back. I gotta go back to
-
Nigeria. He said. Tell them they're thinking too little, they're praying too
-
shallow. They want me to just do a little bit and praise over something
-
I can do with my eyes closed. He said, they don't believe I'm
-
God. I said what he said? They believe more that their job can
-
supply their need, then I can supply their need. And I said,
-
God, what do you mean? He said, Michael, I'm offended that
-
after all I've done for them, they could still put their trust in something
-
that has not given everything for them. He said, I want you to
-
stand up on Sunday morning and tell your church to put a demand on And
-
I said, God, is what hold on? Is that Antichrist? Is
-
that illegal? I know whatever you want to do, God, He said,
-
what I want to do is do a work through the earth. But
-
I cannot do it without my people. He said, everything I choose to
-
do on the earth. I have to partner with a person to do it.
-
And he said, and my people do not believe that I can do
-
what I've already shown them and told them I can do. He said,
-
it's time, he said, this is how he said it to me,
-
And I'm gonna just say it to you like this. Don't mean to get
-
up here and tell you. He said, it's time for them to make
-
me have to move, He said, make me move, pray in such
-
a way that I can't ignore. Is that mine is that if my child
-
right now starts yelling Daddy in a room full of all of y'all, it
-
doesn't matter what I'm doing. There is a frequency that my daughter can say
-
my name at that it would make me look, make me come off the
-
stage, make it wouldn't make me move. And believe, we have not
-
been hungry enough to go to our father in a place that makes him move,
-
because we're already operating and everything he's already provided for us. So I
-
said, okay, Holy Spirit, what do you want me to do?
-
He said, I'm changing the series. You were about to go into a
-
different series, he said, but you You released the song two weeks ago
-
called overflow. And he said, and one of the parts of the song
-
that everybody started grooving to is I'm living in the overflow. He said,
-
most of them are not living in the overflow. He said. It was
-
a song that was prophetic to the season that I'm bringing this church into,
-
he said. He said, I had to release the song and the sound
-
so that they could rehearse the promise of God. Somebody say, I'm living
-
in the overflow. And the truth of the matter is most of us not
-
yet. But by the end of this series, by the revelation that God
-
does in your life and in your family, I feel this thing all the
-
way. And I told y'all, I'm telling you somebody say I'm living in
-
the overflow for the next ten weeks until I go on sabbatticle. I don't
-
even know how long until July. The Holy Spirit said, do not let
-
up off the gas on teaching people how to actually Somebody say, live,
-
not look at not look at the overflow, not dream about the overflow.
-
Somebody say, live my life, how I love, how I lead,
-
how I learn. It's going to be in the oh. And so today
-
I'm a I'm going to attempt to introduce what I believe is your next season
-
of living. I need you to hear this by the Spirit. For every
-
heart or heart in the room. I just prayed that there would be a
-
softening right now because I'm telling you this is going to change everything. I
-
wrote down the definition that the Holy Spirit gave me in prayer of overflow.
-
It says the overflow is the abundance of what God has designed, destined,
-
and desires for his children. When I say I want to live in the
-
overflow, I want to live in what God has designed. Now what I
-
have designed, what God has designed, destined, and desires for me,
-
and most of us just want a better life. I want you to hear
-
what I just said. God has an intended, intentional way that he wants
-
your life to be lived, and most of y'all just want better than what
-
you had. I want you to really self examine right now that most of
-
us have stopped believing God for what he says he has for us, and
-
we just believe God for a little better than what we're currently dealing with.
-
Roman's fifteen thirteen, May the God of Hope somebody shot at me hope y'all
-
not even talking y'all. I'm May the God of Hope. Somebody shot at
-
me, hope. Thank y'all. Y'all gotta work with me because I'm going
-
somewhere. May the God of Hope feel you with all showing and peace as
-
you, everybody say, trust him, so that you may somebody shout at
-
me, overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. You're gonna
-
hear this scripture every Sunday until you memorize it, until it's in your thought
-
process, until you realize that this is what we are believing God for that
-
the God that is full of hope for you, full of hope, that
-
your situation changes and turns around and moves into alignment with what He has for
-
you. This is the God we serve. May the God of Hope fill
-
you with joy and peace as you trust him, so that you may overflow
-
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. God desires for your life
-
to be a picture of overflow. You couldn't even say amen to that.
-
Hear what I'm saying to you, even if you not live in it.
-
God's design is that all his children reflect His royalty. All right. Have
-
you ever seen parents that look nice and they kids look amiss. Mamachoy says,
-
shame on you. Like you know what I'm saying, Like like parents
-
to kids know snotty ashy everywhere, clothes too small it somebody said hair not
-
calm okay, stop judging. What what I'm saying is when you see a
-
child that does not look like the parent, it doesn't reflect bad on the
-
child. Everybody starts looking at Could it be the reason why our faith has
-
been so watered down? Is we talk about the great kington that we serve,
-
but all of his children are living like we don't belong to him.
-
And the problem is the king is like, but I provided for them clothes
-
that fit, but they keep putting on them old clothes. I've given them
-
the access and the ability to have all the food that is nutritious for them
-
to live, but they keep going to d junk food. And now people
-
are getting the wrong idea about our father, not because of what he's provided,
-
because of how we choose to live. So the Holy Spirit said Michael,
-
the overflow of my design, my desire for them is available. Somebody
-
say, the overflow is available. Oh my gosh, if I could let
-
you know that the area of life that you are most frustrated in right now.
-
God can literally give you wisdom, character, integrity, an idea that
-
literally shifts the way that whole thing is playing out in your life right now.
-
But the truth of the matter is some of you do not believe that
-
God is that good or that big to do it. And today I just
-
came to encourage your faith today Posto Mike, I need you to tell me
-
something. I'm telling you that there is more available than what you have been
-
believing God. For just asking God to give you a ten dollar raise on
-
that job is not living in the overflow. Asking God to just make your
-
husband take you on date night, he can make him madly in love with
-
you. Again. I'm talking about passion. I'm talking about stop limiting God
-
because of your limit. On Wednesday night, Charles, I'm have to come
-
and act the full on Wednesday night at Bible study because this group of people.
-
I don't know if y'all ready for what I got to say. Listen
-
to me. Somebody say I can live in the overflow. Say it like
-
you believe it. I can live in the overflow. Okay, So if
-
God has provided through salvation, everything that you need. The Bible says to
-
live a good godly life. That's what the Word says. At salvation,
-
not after I earn it, not after I do fifteen Bible studies. Not.
-
It's at salvation. God gives you everything you need to live a life
-
that pleases Him. So this is the conclusion that I cook to when I
-
think about living in the overflow. Write this down. Access does not mean
-
possession. Access to the overflow does not mean you possess it. We come
-
into this church every week, you watch online every day, you do all
-
of this stuff. All you got more Christian songs on your playlist. You've
-
been prayed over sixty two times, You've been baptized four times this year,
-
Yet at ten fifty nine every night, that same tormenting spirit of whatever it
-
is. I'm gonna let you whatever you feel in the blank, that thing
-
that makes you go to that channel, that thing that makes you text that
-
person or allow them to FaceTime you high big head. No like what I'm
-
saying. Man, I'm thirsty. Can you havess me something drink? Please?
-
Thank you, bro, appreciate you. The thing that I figured out
-
is that having possession of something I'm thirsty. Yeah, bring me some water.
-
Oh God, y'all bring me some more. Just bring me, bring
-
me some up. Having access to something, thank oh, thank I'm a
-
thank you, thank you man, I'm so parched God Lee, thank you
-
brother. Having access to something does not mean you possess it. Man,
-
I really appreciate. I am so I cannot believe how thirsty I am.
-
I'm living in the overflows. Thanks. Yeah, just put something right there
-
because I'm so thirsty. Having access does not mean you possess it. And
-
could this be a picture of the church right now? Every worship song known
-
the man, Bible app will wake you up and give you a scripture,
-
Bible studies, courses, all kinds of stuff. But I still have not
-
possessed what's available to me. And now I'm complaining to you about what I
-
do. Now. I had to lead that church because they just wasn't feeding
-
me. It is the truth of the matter at this point is that God
-
has designed for this life in Christ to be lived in the old her flow.
-
The truth of the matter is I can tell people to come get water,
-
y'all, come get some water. Yeah, some people like me,
-
huh, yeah, come get some Come pick it up. Pick y'all,
-
water up. I ain't giving you the water off? Yeah, and I
-
can be giving people what I need. You want two, you want?
-
Three? You want food? How you doing, sweetheart? It's good to
-
see. Hey. Did I tell you? I'm thirsty? So nice to
-
meet you. How you doing? Matter of fact? You just take all
-
of these? Oh, my God, here you go. This is great.
-
It's so nice to meet you. There you go, you and your
-
wife here where you'all from Indiana? Here? Take your wife some water?
-
God, bless you give it out to people. That's all. Man to
-
give the kids some water. I am so thirsty and now I want to
-
give everybody my sob story about how God didn't meet my need. And now
-
I need to deconstruct my faith because because the truth of the matter is,
-
many of us have had access to the power of the Holy Spirit, the
-
love of God, the peace that passes all understanding, joy that's unspeakable.
-
These are all things that God promises us as we embrace his way of living.
-
But access does not mean possession. We could go home. But because
-
the truth of the matter is, if you just did one thing that God
-
said through me own from his word a week y'all just be so rebellious out
-
here here fifty minutes of word and go home and do no thing, not
-
nothing, no thing. That God spoke And I wasn't the first one to
-
tell you. He told you in his word, and he told you in
-
a dream, and I was just confirming. Oh my god, it was
-
such a confirmation word today. And you're still gonna go out of here and
-
be disobedient. You've been supposed to join that tribe. Well, I'm just
-
not a people person. You'll never be because you're disobedient. Still have an
-
audition for the worship team, Well I just don't. No, I don't
-
have the time and lost schedule. But you have the time for every season
-
of love and hip hop, every single season. I'm just trying to because
-
many of us want God to do a new thing, and He not gonna
-
do it because He supplied you with everything that you already need, but you
-
will not possess this time. When I say I want some water, I'm
-
thirsty. I don't need a case of water to get my need met.
-
All I need to do is take what is in my hand and put my
-
faith, my work, and my action to it and partake when the last
-
time you just had some good old Oh was this available the whole time?
-
Did God let seventy bottles pass through my hands before I ever put mine hand
-
on it? Church? We don't need a new instruction. We need to
-
put our faith on the one He already gave us. I said, we
-
don't need a new word from God. We need to put our faith on
-
the one He's already given us. You want to live in the overflow,
-
obey, No, that's it. Ro What else I gotta say it?
-
I don't need to president him no more. If they would just obey what
-
God said, if they would just do what God's said, if they would
-
just if they would just do what God said, you don't need a new
-
word. You don't need a new church, you don't need a new life.
-
You just you want to live in the overflow. Oh, pay,
-
start the Bible study at your high school. Nobody's gonna come. That's not
-
the point. The point is in attendance. The point is obedience. If
-
God tells me to start Transformation Church in a parking lot and it was like
-
you remember you used to have that arena, you know, and it was
-
so many people coming. It don't matter if it's me, Natalie and the
-
four built in church members that we made, I'm gonna do it anyway because
-
how I live in the overflow is through everybody say, oh, obedience.
-
I'm gonna teach you how to live in the overflow. But God can give
-
you a thousand instructions. And if you don't obey one, Charles, what
-
are we talking about? Why? Why would God release more vision, more
-
connection, more understanding and you still gonna disobey? It makes no sense.
-
He's been telling you to forgive them, uh oh o, because you thought
-
it was just actions. No, it's your heart posture too. He'd been
-
telling you to let those people go. He said that offense is holding up
-
your overflow. That's good, he said, I don't want your offering.
-
Matter of fact, you can leave your offering before you give it. Go
-
get that thing right with them. Y'all know the water, don't you?
-
And some of y'all been asking God to bless you, and the thing that's
-
been the damn to your overflow is your offense. And you said, God,
-
do more. He said, do what I told you you do.
-
Go apologize. Well, I know that I was wrong in certain instances,
-
but in more instances, they was wrong, and God said, that's not
-
the point of what I'm asking you to do. I'm trying to unblock the
-
next season of your life. But you would rather live in offense than overflow.
-
That's good. Access does not mean possession. I can literally say,
-
take this water, but if you don't take it, if you don't take
-
it. But I want you to see what just happened. He put his
-
hand on it. He wanted me to let it go. But he had
-
to use his force, he had to use his energy, his strict y'all,
-
I got a new floor. Energy. Y'all better light up this floor.
-
I'm about to preach from the floor. I feel something happening in this
-
room right now. There's somebody that's saying, I'm not settling for what my
-
mama and him has. I'm not settling for the where the church has been.
-
I will live in the overflow. If you believe it. Give God
-
a shout of praise in this place, y'all bring my podium down. I'm
-
a priest from the floor today. I feel this. Hear me, hear
-
me, hear me. What I'm saying to you right now? There is
-
something that God is about to do that only is unlocked with I see it
-
prophetically, y'all. I've been the Holy Spirit has been just showing me stuff,
-
and I gotta release it because we're living in the over flod transformation.
-
Chang, okay, listen to me, Thank you so much. What God
-
has been showing me is that there the next instruction is revealed after the next
-
the last obedience. Let me say it better. The next instruction comes at
-
the last obedience step you ever seen like the movie National Treasure or like like
-
like them you know them movies, and it's like they're like, we just
-
got to get the pearl of wisdom. And then once they get the pearl
-
wisdom, they put the pearl wisdom in the little round thing and it's like
-
boom, and then like it's like and then there's like ah, and then
-
it's like a word peace and it's like peace, What is peace mean?
-
And then they have to like think about all the things they've been through,
-
all the things they've studied, all of the things that they've seen are like,
-
oh, not like peace, Like it's like a piece of something.
-
Oh, and then the rhythm of this and the trimester and the peace and
-
then it goes to the next thing and I don't know, and then and
-
it's like the next step is only revealed after the last thing they do in
-
obedience church. I want to I just want to let you know that God
-
desires for you to live in the overflow, but your your disobedience blocks the
-
overflow period. I'm a preached to you for the next ten weeks about what
-
God is about to do, but you can stop it by your disobedience.
-
Will, Can I use a real example, bro come here? Okay,
-
Me and Will had a conversation two years ago. I'm gonna tell. Can
-
I tell the story? Okay, Will came here how long ago? Five
-
years ago? He was an intern, and I saw so much potential in
-
this young man I'm talking about straight out of jail, knew all THEI Hood
-
songs, tatted up the perfect associate campus faster in my mind at least that
-
transformation here. But I came to Will two years ago at Incredible Pizza.
-
It was MJ's birthday and I looked at him and I said, Will,
-
your weight is holding you back. So you're three hundred and fifty pounds,
-
I said, for what God has for you next, you can't be that
-
big now. Most of y'all when I said it to him got offended.
-
I wasn't even talking to you, and you was like, how dare But
-
he knew that I loved him, and he knew that. And then watch
-
this, and I said, will I believe in you so much? Don't
-
tell anybody this, but I'm gonna pay for your first month of training.
-
I said, call to people tomorrow and I'm gonna send you the money.
-
Whatever they say, I'm gonna pay for it. And then I looked at
-
him, and what I tell you? I said, don't waste my money
-
here, I said, don't waste my money. I said, I got
-
four kids. I said, but I believe in your future. That's a
-
real statement. That was not a small bill for you to be skipping some
-
training. His next level could have been stopped at a fence. No no,
-
no, no, right now, some of y'all won't even receive that
-
from your husband or wifee. You got kids with these people, and they
-
can't tell you. Baby. Not Christian Kreen today like, come on,
-
but what if? What if you would have leaned to the lane of offense
-
and still still being used by God serving in the area, but not receive
-
the level of I knew you could lead because you led yourself. I'm not
-
saying this is for before the position that God told me I had to give
-
him. He had to be able to lead him before he led anybody else.
-
And now we was talking this morning in the gym. He the first
-
one to take me at five am, like you up, I'm at your
-
house like God, dog it. We're talking today and how God is doing
-
such a work in him and his family and all that. But it's because
-
he didn't allow his offense to damn up his overflat. And look at you
-
now, baby, you how much you down down one hundred and forty one
-
pounds in the past year and a half. I'm proud of you. Boy.
-
They keep talking about his transformation. You can't lose five pounds. You
-
don't understand. No, I need to be serious with y'all. You can
-
lose five pounds in the next two weeks by not eating what you eat every
-
day. But we want to do spiritual stuff that then doesn't come to the
-
practical. I said, I'm lifting in the overflow. I'm not just praying
-
in the overflow. I have to bring what's in the supernatural. So if
-
you're joyful in the spirit but mean in the flesh, do y'all hear what
-
I'm saying? The math ain't nothing. I'm gonna have to start again next
-
week. No, no, no, because what I what I needed to
-
say, I don't say it. I put the sermon title up there over
-
living in the over Yeah, they didn't even put save the other sermon title
-
for next week. If you're gonna live in the overflow, obey one point.
-
That's it. One point. If you're gonna live in the overflow,
-
obey. What happens if Moses doesn't go and say, let my people go
-
Jesus, Jesus? What? What? What? What? A whole generation
-
of people is bound. They don't even get the option for freedom. If
-
one person doesn't obey, who is attached to your obedience? I wish there
-
was a way on a big screen we could see all of the people that
-
was attached, and you know what, it wouldn't even have to be a
-
lot. It would just have to be somebody we loved. If somebody we
-
loved was attached to obedience, you do it. You'd stop doing that,
-
and you'd start doing that. But that wouldn't take faith. If he showed
-
you you would do it because you had facts. You wouldn't do it because
-
you had to believe him. Remember in that scripture, you overflow when you
-
trust him. Oh, y'all missed it. Let's go back one more time,
-
staying only scripture today Woman's fifteen thirteen. May the God of Hope fill
-
you with all joy and peace as you trust in God. Your plan is
-
it's gonna work, and I trust you. It looks completely backwards and opposite,
-
and I actually, if I can be honest with you, I don't
-
like it. I just wanted to tell y'all love you, but I don't
-
like it. He good with that. He big enough to handle that.
-
If I could shoot, I would not be a pastor. I could make
-
great impact for good in this world and not have people judging me the way
-
they do. I can still write books, I could still do music.
-
I couldn't do everything. But for some reason, every Sunday I was like,
-
well, let's just go off of YouTube. It's just like not,
-
I don't need to be all over the world. I said, I need
-
you to be. This ain't about you. If this was about you,
-
you could have stayed at fifteen nineteen in North Tulsa. He said, I
-
desired to reach those people in prison. Yes, yes, said yes,
-
sir, to the tune of eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighteen people who've
-
been saved this year because of what we go'd got to help me? Right
-
now? Can we give God? Prays God transformation? No, think about
-
somebody actually, like Paul and Silas not. These Christians ain't never been locked
-
up. And they laid all night and they prayed and prayed. I'm talking
-
about bars and they watch Transformation church on a tabletown eight and eleven, eight
-
hundred and eighteen people in twenty twenty four gave day life to Jesus documented because
-
of the generosity, the giving, the camera people, the children's work,
-
y'all, the parking lot people, because of what we do together. I
-
said at one point, second point, the overflow is always for others.
-
Yes, what God's trying to the reason He's trying to build character in your
-
life is because you're supposed to mentor somebody that you don't have the self control
-
to be around. Right now, did you hear what I just said?
-
You don't have the self control or bring around somebody that you actually have a
-
key to life for so God has been putting you in a position right now
-
to work off those edges. You're a player. I'm a player, man.
-
You know what I'm saying, I just flirt. You know what I'm
-
saying. I don't be doing thathing. You know, I'm just talk sweet
-
to them. I just want to let them know. God made them beautiful.
-
And you know what I'm saying, I just I just want to let
-
them know. And God has some young lady that needs a father figure,
-
but she's gonna get creep vibes around you. Oh, I'm in people's business
-
right now. And because you always a player and all way and you come,
-
God said, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't realize that you're
-
cutting off the overflow that I have for you, because you actually do have
-
something to give them, but you won't give up what you've been to get
-
what I have for you. So you're gonna live in not the overflow,
-
but the obsolete. And most believers, by the time they obey God,
-
what he gave them is obsolete. I'm not talking about like how did I
-
say this. It's like when all the celebrities love God at seventy all your
-
influence was when you was twenty six to thirty five. You are all around
-
the world stadiums, fear with people, and then at sixty nine, we're
-
glad that you came to the kingdom. For what would the impact have been
-
if you had obeyed God in the middle And it seems like there are so
-
many believers that obey God after the window of influence. I'm oft into dangerous
-
territory right now. But what I'm saying is there is something that God wants
-
to do that you will sacrifice in your own life because it's supposed to impact
-
others. And the truth of the matter is we've been living a selfish walk
-
with God. What he does for me, how he answers my prayer,
-
the miracle I need. And he said, Michael, there's certain people I
-
want them to live in the overflow, but I honestly can't trust them with
-
it, because if I gave them more than enough, they would be hoarders.
-
It would build entitlement around them, it would secure their insecurities, it
-
would actually puff them up to a place that they now I have money,
-
Now I have resources, Now I have connections. Now I have And God
-
said, I just need my people to get back to a place of knowing
-
that everything I have, everything they have, came from me. I'm the
-
God of the universe. I'm the one that has and when I trust them
-
with it, doing it for others. The Bible says the Son of Man
-
came not to be served, but to serve others and literally die as a
-
ransom. His whole life was about giving out of his overflow for people who
-
wouldn't even acknowledge what he did. Could you be okay? Living you the
-
rest of your life in a manner that God fills you up to pour you
-
out and they might not even know your name. That's so good, that's
-
good, that's good. No, No, I'm just challenging you right now
-
because the Church is telling you God go bless you so then you can stunt
-
on people. Know what if you never get a Bentley, never get a
-
Mercedes, never get a Tesla. But what if God's blessing for you is
-
paying people's down payments? See you missed it? Like what if you never
-
drive your dream car, but you supply other people with the first step to
-
walk into what now? Some of y'all really thinking right now, like hold
-
on the biley of giving a blessing. I'm just I'm trying to challenge us
-
because I'm telling you God's about to take us into a level of abundance.
-
And I'm not talking about just money. I am talking about money too,
-
because y'all turn want to be broken and you can have that. But my
-
Bible says I'll be the lender and not the boller up. And so I
-
just I'm not the prosperity godfel No, I'm not preaching the poverty. Gods
-
stop that. You can't meet anit if you ain't got nothing. Okay,
-
I'm not even gonna get on that right now. What you want us to
-
do, steal it and then we can do That's when I steal. I'm
-
jack up God, dogar like, So I'm not talking I'm not talking about
-
living it. I'm talking about like being in a place where I actually can
-
be an extension of God's heart on this earth. That's what the word of
-
encouragement some of you have. God has surrounded you with people who speak life
-
into you all the time, and you've become a fiend for somebody to say
-
something to you. But you've never ever given out of all that's been put
-
into you to other people. You could wake up every morning and say,
-
I'm gonna make six people's day. I'm today the number is six, and
-
I'm going to go out of my way to encourage six people with what I
-
see and whatever you say to me, Holy Spirit, that's living in the
-
And you know what God does. He give seed to the sower. So
-
at the moment you start encouraging people, he just pops people into your life
-
to pour back into you. It's called a watch flow. You can't have
-
an overflow without a flow. And most of you don't realize that. Your
-
faith to start it starts the flow. Your active faith to give starts the
-
flow. Your active faith to encourage starts to flow. You're writing the business
-
plan starts the God can't even send the investors because you haven't started the flow
-
today. I'm as God begins to reveal to us through prayer and then Bible
-
study and in worship, as we're singing yahwegh. And when we come back
-
here next week, it all is for nothing. If whatever he says,
-
whatever he confirms, whatever he tells us to do, we won't obey it.
-
I don't want to waste another year. And then get back to twenty
-
one days of prayer faster than the be like, God, you're gonna give
-
me a word? He's that girl. I've been trying to do this.
-
This is the sixth year of come on, y'all, this is the sixth
-
year of us asking for you to be content in your singleness. Would you
-
just please like trust that what I'm working out of you in this season is
-
preparing you for the season you desire. I got a plan for you,
-
and I promise you is better than whatever you piece in together. Right now,
-
they say I'm gonna live in the overflow and I will obey, and
-
some of you right now, I want to let you know it's gonna cost
-
you. Obedience cost you. It's expensive. Do you hear what I'm saying?
-
To be obedient, you may have to leave some things you love.
-
I could give you a story after a story of how God asked me to
-
do something, but he never told me what it cost. And it feels
-
kind of unfair, because if you're a good good father, you should really
-
tell me. You don't have the story. I know how much stuff costs
-
before I get to the register. But God asks you, like, hey,
-
give me, give me your career choice. Now, Lord, I've
-
been working all of this time and all my training is in music. Yeah,
-
give it to me. I'm gonna give you something else at twenty seven.
-
Well, Lord, why didn't you start preparing me for that at four?
-
Because I feel inadequate, unprepared, I'm scared. And he said,
-
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want my plan for your
-
life that will lead you to overfall? Or do you want that career choice?
-
God? You know, why are you gonna ask me that question?
-
You know I want your will, So just say yes, yes, I
-
didn't tell you. It's gonna cost you a lot of relationships. It's gonna
-
cost you actually putting down what you have loved for years. It's gonna cost
-
you focusing on a scale that people spend decades figuring out. And I'm gonna
-
put you up and teach you as you go. You're gonna feel unprepared every
-
time you stand up for a decade. What the freak like like? But
-
he knows if he would have told me it would cost me all that,
-
I would have ran from it. So what he tells me is, no
-
matter what happens, I'll be with you always. The guarantee is not that
-
I will feel great always. He said, I'll be with you always.
-
I'll never leave you or forsake you. So when you say yes to me
-
and watch this, even when you say no, I'll never you want to
-
talk about the grace of God. When you mess up, I'll never leave
-
you. Somebody should thank God for his grace right now. Even when you
-
do the thing that's opposite of what I told you to do, I'll never
-
leave you nor forsake you. Today, I'm inviting you. That's what I'm
-
trying to do. That's what I'm trying to do. Bishop. It took
-
me all service to figure it out. I'm trying to invite a generation of
-
people to come with me to live in the overflow. And if we're gonna
-
do this together, I'm gonna be hot, humble, open, and transparent
-
with you. I'm gonna tell you the truth. I need you to whatever
-
the next instruction God gives you, one word, I need you to what.
-
Okay, stand up all over this world? Could could could just before
-
everybody starts running out and leaving and all that other stuff. I just I
-
think there's a moment where we're supposed to ask the Holy Spirit What are you
-
trying to say to me? Because I know you heard me talk, but
-
I think he wants to say something with everybody. Just lift your hands like
-
this, just like you're ready to receive. Close your eyes, focus in
-
on him. What is God illuminating to you right now? What area is
-
coming to your heart and your mind? What idea is he continuing to bring
-
to you? What is the area that he's saying, We gotta, we
-
gotta work on that, We gotta you, gotta let me have that.
-
Take your hand off of that, let me have it. There's an overflow
-
coming, but it starts with obedience. Today, Father, here we are
-
surrendered war God. We need you. We need you more than we've admitted.
-
Many of us have been trying to strong arm our way and white and
-
uncle our way through this season. And I thank you that today starts to
-
flow in our life as we submit to whatever you want to do, Father
-
God, the things that we have not done for years. Today we are
-
making a fresh commitment that we will obey. Thank you that in your word
-
you tell us you will give us both the power and the desire to do
-
what pleases you. So today Father God, we say yes all over this
-
room, just say that three letter words say yes. Come on all over
-
the world, everybody, just say yes. Whatever you want to do with
-
us. God, we sing the song y'allwagh and the part that says,
-
whatever you want to do, whatever you want to do, have your way
-
today. God, I thank you that our church is about to go to
-
another level of occupying kingdom territory. I thank you Father that you have called
-
to us to be an example of dominion on this earth. But Father,
-
you will not trust people who do not listen to you. So today I'm
-
making a fresh commitment. We are making a fresh commitment. No matter our
-
titles, no matter our winds in the past, no matter our associations and
-
our relationships. Today we're giving you a fresh Yes. We will be obedient
-
to whatever you say to do, Father, if that's taking a different way
-
home, if it's wearing a certain jacket. God, we will let you
-
be in the details of our life. We will not act like we know
-
what needs to happen. Today. God, we restore ourselves back to childlike
-
faith. Whatever Daddy says, whatever Abba whispers, we will obey. Have
-
your way in our lives and in this place. I hear this very clearly.
-
For the next week. I want everybody to put that song y'ah weigh
-
on at least once a day. No, I'm hear what I'm saying.
-
Like I hear, I've been doing it myself, just worshiping. There has
-
been something that has been happening in intimacy, and I don't know how else
-
to say it except like it don't feel like us, like it's me with
-
a bunch of people. It just feel like me and God. And I
-
believe there's some healing and and some direction that's gonna come. Go to Spotify,
-
go to Do Do wherever you listen to it, but I want you
-
to listen to it at least once a day. Some of y'all gonna put
-
it on repeat over and over. But there's something that's going to happen.
-
And I believe Charles in the overflow what we're believing God for, It's gonna
-
come from a very intimate place. People want to overflow on the outside,
-
but it comes from a very private place, and we're about to increase our
-
seek for God. Amen. Last thing that I want to say to you
-
as as we leave this place, I know there are some people in this
-
room right now that are hurting, and it's very difficult for you to reconcile
-
the idea of overflow while you feel like you're in a deficit. Did you
-
hear what I just said. I want to acknowledge what I'm feeling by the
-
spirit in this room that we're saying overflow. But every time I say it,
-
you're like, how in the world can I get to overflow? And
-
I'm not even at basic, Like I'm not even at empty, Like I
-
feel like I'm in a deficit, and today I just feel by the spirit
-
of God. We don't usually do this, but if you're in a deficit
-
in an area of your life, we're about to end service. I want
-
you to come to this author. I want to pray for you. And
-
this is not to embarrass you, This is not to do anything. This
-
is a step of faith, and I need you to come from all over
-
this place. This is a perfect time. If you want to sneak out,
-
you can, but I'm telling you the oil is here right now.
-
If you're online, I just want you to put your hand in the chat.
-
There's an area of your life where it feels like a deficit. It
-
just feels like God, how in the world would you overflow in this area?
-
I feel the presence of God. Worship team. If y'all need to
-
get up here, y'all come up here. I need just a couple of
-

-

-
seat, you gotta start to flow. Some of y'all need to come down
-

-
faith. I don't care if you're in the aisles. Look your steps made
-

-
been in a deficit. I need you to to lift your hands all over

I feel that in this moment there's something that's about to happen. As we

begin to sing, and I want you to just receive all over this place.
-
If you're in the audience, I want you to begin to pray for
-
these people today. They are not leaving this place the same way they came
-
in. Holy Spirit, Facilitator of the overflow, Your children are crying out
-
to you today. Would you meet every need? Show? Would you meet
-
every need? God? Would you heal the broken heart? God? Will
-
you resurrect to that situation? We call on your name the life, the
-
breath. Today your children are calling out for you, and today Father,

-

-
calling on the God that changes everything. Yeah, it's a new day for
-
you. He's healing. It doesn't matter what you went through. God is
-
gonna take all of the pain and he's gonna turn it around and he's going
-
to use it to be able to bring glory out of your life. Today
-
is a new day for you. Hey, come on, lift your hands
-
and lift your voice all over this place. God, I'm giving you everything
-
right now, You're always say here. We are good. Children are desperate.
-
We don't want to go another month with the house. You doing something
-
significant in our lives. God says, how have your way? Short?
-
Ye, my God, we say rain over God, whatever you want to
-
do, say yeah, yeah, yeah, lift that up, say come
-
on, say have your way. I'll be obedient. I'll listen. I'll
-
turn it over short the earth. Do what only you can do. Change
-
heart, Jesus, you can change heart. Come on, lift your voice
-
and say whatever you want to do, do it God, we will obey.
-
Start the flow, my God. As these are at the altar,
-
there are people listening under the sound of my voice that have never accepted Jesus
-
as their personal Lord and savior. And along with the thousands that did it
-
in prison, there are even more thousands that did it out. And today
-
today is going to be the day of somebody's salvation. You're gonna start the
-
flow by receiving Jesus Us or making a fresh commitment to him. And so
-
today, if you want to receive Jesus, whether you're at the altar,
-
in your seats online, on the count of three, I just want you
-
to raise your hand. See my sisters already raised their hands. She said,
-
I can't wait till three. I'm desperate right now. If it's you
-
all over the place, one, two, three I was about to give
-
you. I see you all the way in the back. I see you,
-
my brother, I see you. Your life is being changed. Come
-
up I Transformation Church. Their hands going up. I see you, little
-
man. Hands are going up everywhere. And more than I see you,
-
God sees you. And today at Transformation Church, I want you to know
-
where family, nobody prays alone. Could everybody just lift your hands and say,
-
God, thank you for making a way for me to be saved today.
-
I believe you lived, you die, and you rose again with all
-
power from my freedom. And so today I accept you, Change me,
-
renew me, transform me. I'm yours forever in Jesus today. Amen,
-
Can we celebrate all of us? Can we celebrate all over the world.
-
Don't cut the stream. Don't cut the stream. Tell them to turn the
-
stream back on. Tough to tell them to turn it on. Didn't they
-
gonna cut it when I tell them this next few weeks because there's a flow.
-
There are people at home that can't get in here that you need this.
-
Now. I'm about to phray specifically. If you just made that decision,
-
we want you to take text saved to eight two eight two. We
-
want to meet with you and want to connect with you. We want you
-
to join us in prayer and Bible study this Wednesday. We want you to
-
get in a tribe. We have a new life available, but access does
-
not mean so if you got access and you don't follow it up, but
-
now I gotta pray for every dry person. Your step of faith. Oh
-
my gosh. When you walked up here or typed in the chat or said
-
God, I need you because I feel like I'm in a deficit, what
-
you just did was open up the access point for God to be strength in
-
the middle of your weakness. People missed this. The only way certain strength
-
is released from God is that the admittance of weakness. So when you walk
-
around like you got it all together, God said I can't move you,
-
puff down instead of puff up. When I said, I'm telling you how
-
important. What you just did was in front of your friends, by your
-
wife. They're like, I don't even know they were dealing with nothing,
-
no, no, no, what you just did. What'll say, God
-
can't do this without you. What you just did is say I don't have
-
enough strength to make this happen. And God said, does my child need
-
me? This is what I specialize in being strength in the middle of weakness.
-
So if you did lift your hands right now, strength is coming to
-
you. In the name of Jesus, we speak the Word over your children.
-
I remind you of your word today. You said in your word day
-
that wait on the Lord, they shall renew their strength. And so today
-
I thank you that every person that's been in a deficit in relationship, in
-
their mind, in their joy, in their peace, in their resources,
-
today I am asking you, Holy Spirit, to lead them into the truth
-
that you have done more and are about to do more in their life than
-
they could ever imagine. God, I thank you that the overflow has begun,
-
and even by the end of this week, there will be tangible proof.
-
There will be tangible proof of your hand intervening in their situation. Depression,
-
fall off, anxiety, you're afvicted, poverty, mindset. You are
-
now no longer welcome tears. I declare that there is ended whoa. I
-
declare that there is a flow, a flow from Heaven that will never stop,
-
a flow of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, self
-
control, wisdom. I declare in the name of Jesus, Peace over every
-
storm, Peace over every storm, Peace over every storm. Peace over every
-
storm. You will live and not die, sir, Peace over every storm
-
in your mind. It's the storm of your mind. God, did I
-
miss you? Did you leave me? Father? How can I lead this
-
family? God says, by this time next year, you will have to
-
look at pictures to remember where you were in this season. Y'all can rejoice
-
with him right now, and matter of fact, you can receive it for
-
yourself. You might need to possess that right now. By all right,
-
this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna leave here today, but we're
-
gonna let this overflow continue. Do not miss a Sunday of this series.
-
Somebody say I'm living in the overflow. Invite people to your house. If
-
you're watching online, make them breakfast and then sit down and watch this.
-
Everybody in this room get here and bring a friend. The next six weeks,
-
specifically, are about to change everything. This is a good time to
-
bring a friend. The Holy Spirit is gonna start working on them. And
-
I'm telling y'all, I'm asking you to make a commitment. We're gonna be
-
at Bible study on Wednesday. We're gonna be praying in here at six o'clock.
-
The overflow starts in the secret place. I want to teach you how
-
to pray. I'm gonna be here at six o'clock. Online it'll be up.
-
And then afterwards we're gonna have a big Bible study. And then on
-
Thursday. This is I think God's orchestrating y'all to be overflowed by next week.
-
Thursday, my parents are starting a conference gap standards conference and they asked
-
me for some reason to preach the first night. And guess what I'm about
-
to be preaching all the overflow and I need us to come to the Marriott
-
Hotel. I believe it is over in Southern Hills, and I think there's
-
gonna be over for people are gonna come from all over. Will it be
-
online? Will it be online? It'll be online. I'll post the stuff
-
transmagin Nation. I want you all, I just want us to all week
-
just continue to get because God's by the time you get here next week,
-
by the time you get here next week. What's your name? Bro?
-
Say it again? Jumpna? Hey, God's hand is on your life.
-
Today. Wasn't an accident that you came? You're passing through. You don't
-
live here, right, Yeah? You're passing through this next season, God's
-
calling you to another level of surrender. No, hear what I'm saying to
-
you, Broke, I don't know you, I ain't never seen you before,
-
But there are some the next sixteen weeks are gonna be very pivotal in
-
your life. I don't know what's happening now. I don't know your career
-
choice, I don't know. But God's asking you to surrender some things that
-
you said you would always do. I mean, and I see this and
-
literally I'm saying it with you, but then I see it with a bunch
-
of people. Some of you are gonna have to break word covenants and contracts
-
you made with yourself. Do y'all hear what I'm saying. There are some
-
things like out always blah blah blah. I'll always have a little bit of
-
God. God did. God said, some of the strongholds that are in
-
your life now you're asking for things to change, only can change through the
-
way they got permission to be there. And many of us gave those things
-
permission to have a hold on us because like I'll always you know, take
-
a little drink, I'll always satisfy myself when I and there's some where I
-
feel this thing. It's for you, but it's for a lot of people.
-
There are some things I feel this about the spirit of God that God
-
says that you're going to have to denounce. Everybody wants to pronounce stuff,
-
but the Covenant was made with your words, and God is saying that there
-
are gonna be things he brings to your mind and you're going to have to
-
say. I denounce, I disconnect, I divorce the idea, the thought
-
process. I take away, I take captive the authority I gave this addiction.
-
Do y'all hear me. I take away the power and I put it
-
under the name of she God's gonna ask you to give up some things that
-
you thought you would always be with, and He's gonna give you things that
-
actually fill you up. Father, I pray for my brother Jonah. Can
-
y'all just stretch your hands, give me your hand. Bro I thank you
-
Father that today you brought him here on the way to somewhere else to just
-
make sure he had clarity of vision. And God, I thank you that
-
even as this young man stands before me, I thank you that he will
-
obey today. Father God, I thank you that his life is shifting right
-
now, because if it's an obedient step to be here today and Father,
-
when the testimony does come in about Jonah's life, I thank you that we
-
won't look at a man or a person, but we will give all glory
-
to God today. We thank you for the miracle that's happening in him in
-
Jesus' nake. Aymen, I'm gonna say this last thing online. There are
-
three people that you are in. This is how the Holy Spirit is showing
-
it to me. You're in the decision of two cities. Hear what I'm
-
saying to you. You're watching online right now. And God said, you're
-
deciding on two cities. Either I'm gonna go here or I'm gonna go here.
-
And the Holy Spirit said, thirty more days and it will be clear
-
whatever that means you lose. Obey him, y'all. I don't have no
-
I'm just trying to obey God. You're sitting here deciding this city or this
-
city. He said, thirty more days, and I will make it abundantly
-
clear. But you're your Your anxiousness to get out of the uncomfortableness of the
-
season will lead you to a place you don't need to be. Father.

-

-
tango where Charles at okay, y'all get ready for awkward endings to services and
-
weird start. God's breaking the form, y'all. Hear what I'm saying.
-
The form has to break if we want real power, if we want to
-
see God do. I don't want to form like I just want him.
-

-
