It’s Time To Get In The House // It’s Time (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 through today's message.

I got to speak into your future today.

I'm about to try with everything in me to push

you out of complacency. Some of y'all have been in

the same place for so long. You think that's where

God wants you.

God has sent me to give you a prophetic push.

You have started to put permanent fixtures where God had

just had you for a season.

You thought it's always going to be like that. God said,

who told you that? I'm going to be your anointed

agitator today.

Joshua chapter 1. It says, Moses, my servant is dead.

Joshua 1 · chapter mention

Now, get up. Shift. Move. Don't be here no more.

Joshua is sitting here. God does not give him even

a verse to process.

It's a comma because the shift that God wanted to

happen was not something that he was going to negotiate

with Joshua. And I know your opinion is so precious

to you.

But let me tell you what your opinion means to God.

No thing.

Like, well, God, I'm not ready to do this. I

didn't ask were you ready to do this. But before

you were formed in your mother's womb, I knew you.

I put something on the inside of you that you

haven't even tapped into. It's time for you to somebody

say shift. God has spoken a word over your life,

and you might as well start praising right now. Because

if he speaks a word over your life, the shift

can happen just like.

Transformation Church, if you know it's time to shift, why

don't you give God one more big shout of praise

in this place? Oh, come on, let's shift the atmosphere

one more time. Father God, we invite your presence into

this place. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hey, by faith, if you're in the room or watching online,

just look at your neighbor and say, it's time to shift.

No, you didn't say it with no faith. Come on.

I need you to look at your neighbor and say,

it's time to shift. Something is changing. Something is moving.

Something is going. All right. If this is your first

time here in this.

Series, sorry for our energy, but people know that last

week something changed in us, for us, with us, and

the transformation according to the word starts in our mind

before we see it in our hand. Be transformed by

the renewing of your The reason we come to church

and we believe God is because we know that one

word can change what has been.

A stronghold in our mind.

The stronghold that you're fighting against are things that have

been built up for years that maybe God can't use me.

Maybe this is not my season. Maybe I'm not qualified.

And God's saying to you today, it's time to, everybody

say shift. Y'all didn't say it with no faith.

Where the church at? It's time to shift. And I'm

telling you, I'm going to rampage every week this series.

We're not wasting a Sunday. I feel the presence of

God in this place right now. Somebody say, we're not

wasting a Sunday. Every time we get up here and

God gives us breath to come into this room, we

are going to hear his word and then we're going

to apply it.

It's time to shift.

Shift.

You messed up and came to the wrong service this morning.

Sit down. I got to get into this word.

Today I'm excited to bring what God has been cooking.

In my heart for almost three weeks now.

Sometimes God speaks to you and then tells you to

wait so that it can marinate. Anybody remember food that

was cooked over days? Y'all don't know nothing about this.

I know everything's instant.

You door dashing. But the best food is food that

gets to sit in something for a little bit. You know,

you can taste the food by just tasting the juice. Y'all, okay, y'all.

Food that's real good, you take the juice and make

other food. Y'all don't know nothing. Y'all have no idea.

And today, this word has been marinating in me, and

I believe.

It's gonna shift something on the inside of you, amen?

Just one more time, if you're watching online, you're watching

on the Pando app, can we say what's up to

all of our brothers and sisters who are in the

facility right now?

Oh, come on, y'all can do better than that. To

all my brothers and sisters on the Pando app, I

love you. A lot of people are like, why you

spend so much time talking about people on jail?

Because you're free out here, but you're still bound here.

And what I'm trying to do is get everybody free.

All right.

Because whom the sun sets free is what? Free indeed.

And so today I believe the word is going to

bring freedom to you. But as we move in this,

I just got to tell you, I'm so excited because

last week, for those of us who got the prophetic

word that.

It's time to shift. Things started moving.

I got a testimony on Tuesday as I was dropping

my children off to school that one of the members

of our church, they literally put in a bid to

get a contract to build some condos in North Tulsa.

And they said that all of the big.

Players in the world were a part of this bid

because Tulsa had to award the contract.

And they were in this service last week.

A husband and a wife, And they said something shifted

in them and they started believing. Well, they told me

on Wednesday out of everybody that was in the bidding

for this, they got awarded a 70 condo.

Development worth over $ 20 million.

And guess what he said? It shifted just like that.

Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. If you know our

God can move things around 24 hours, he can take

you from the bottom to the top.

Y'all don't hear me? Somebody say it's time to shift.

All right.

Let me just give you a couple more shifting testimonies

because what I'm trying to do is encourage your faith.

I'm trying to make you believe.

Two weeks ago, we had 135 people make a shift

into being literally public with their faith in connection to

Jesus Christ through baptism. Can we thank God for 135 people?

But watch this.

Today, 57 more people have signed up to get baptized

after Jesus. I'm talking about people who are living different.

Kind of lives.

And the reason I tell you that, because some of

you are in here and maybe you didn't know, but

maybe the shift you need is to get baptized. And

right after service on the line, we're about to go

out there with our voices cheerleading, pom-poms, and we are about.

To shout to God for every soul.

Do y'all know who God is that he would take

us from the backward situations that we were in?

I just needed somebody to remember today.

Amen. and bring us into a place of salvation. So

there's going to be a shift for more of you.

And I wanted to tell you at the top of

the service, because some of y'all are making, oh, I just.

Got my hair done. Oh my God. God, are you

really telling me?

And I'm telling you right now, there's a shift coming

when you identify with Christ publicly.

And some of you are going to make that decision.

And so I just want everybody to know, I keep

saying it, but the rest of this year is going

to be the best of this year because you will

not be in the same place you are right now.

14 people caught it by faith.

That's good. Somebody say it's time to shift. That is time.

This is your prophetic word. You don't need nobody else

to say nothing else. Somebody say it's time.

Who you waiting on? Not God. It's time.

As I was praying and thinking through this and asking God,

where do we go next.

On this journey?

Because we're on this journey all the way till conference.

And some of you heard the word that you were

supposed to be at conference. By the end of this,

many of you watching online and in this room, you're

going to take days off. You're going to say, you

know what? I'm setting aside time. Watch this for my

own transformation. Some of y'all want God to transform you

driving by. But would you ever get heart surgery driving by?

No. Would you ever sign up for the fast version

of Open Hearts?

No, you would take your time. And it's worth you

marking on your calendar, October 7th through the night, I'm

going to go to Tulsa, Oklahoma. We have people coming

from over 30 countries. And there's less than 300 tickets

left for this arena to be full. But I feel

like I'm supposed to tell somebody that the shift has

to happen in you before everybody else recognizes it.

And maybe there's a time for you to come. And

as I was praying.

About this shift in our bloodline, in our family, where

God's taking us, get your notes out because I'm preaching already.

Here we go. Y'all ready?

Most people, when we hear and shout shift, We think

about what I'm shifting out of. I'm shifting out of this,

I'm shifting out of this, I'm shifting out of this.

But something that God told me this week, he said, Michael,

I'm more concerned about what they're shifting into as opposed

of what they're shifting out of somebody say I'm shifting

into something.

You've been so happy to get out of Egypt that

you've never counted up the cost to actually being in

the promised land.

Oh, God. We lose a whole generation, 40.

Years, because they was just excited to get out.

I'm shifting out. I'm shifting out of this friend group.

I'm shifting out of this city. Bye-bye. I'm headed away.

Come on, y'all.

I'm shifting out of this job. God got better things

for me. But what are you shifting to? Because what

we end up doing out of the church is we

come out of things and we want God to automatically

move us into something else, but we never ask him

what it is and we're not willing to do what

it takes to get into it.

Because what if what you're going into comes with giants?

What if there's opposition in the place you're going into?

And what ends up happening is many times we never

shift into what God is saying because we're just so

happy to be out of what we used to be in.

And today, I need you to know God's concern. Write

it down as a point. God is always more concerned

with what you are shifting into. What kind of father

are you shifting into? What kind of employee are you

shifting into? What type of church member are you shifting into?

I found Transformation Church such a great church. Everybody loves

me here, and I'm so glad to be out of

that old church.

Okay, good.

And we don't know the full context of where you

came from, so you did become brand new when you

got here.

But just let me say this. If you don't shift

into everything God called you to be here, was shifting

out of that even worth it? Okay.

You shifted out of your last marriage into a worse one?

Okay. Okay.

Oh, come on, y'all. You're on your third marriage. You

never learned the lessons in the wilderness. You shifted into

something that was less than what God shifted you out of.

And today I want us to methodically and slowly consider

where God is taking us as opposed.

To just where we came from. Okay.

Somebody say I'm shifting into something. Can you put it

on the back LED screen real big? You already had

it up there. I'm shifting into something. I'm shifting into

something y'all ain't never seen. Let me just give you

something as your pastor.

You don't know me. God did a work on the

inside of me on this sabbatical that changed the way

that I do everything that I do. The way that

I pastor, the way that I father, the way that

I lead, the way that I'm a friend.

He has transformed me from the inside. I'm shifting into something.

I might have to reintroduce myself to y'all every month

the rest of this year. Hello, my name is Michael,

I'm your pastor. But I'm shifting in to do not

get comfortable at the version you know about me. Some

of y'all need to grab that by faith. Do not

get comfortable. You don't know me, because I'm different than

I was yesterday. You don't know me because I'm going

to respond differently than I responded last week.

Look at your neighbor and say, you don't know me. Why?

Because I'm shifting. I'm shifting into something. Husbands and wives

approach each other with curiosity because you're shifting into something different.

Okay.

Somebody say it's time. Say it with faith. It's time.

I'm shifting, this is what I'm going to ask everybody

to do.

I'm going to list a couple of things that I

believe God told me prophetically.

To say out loud over you.

And if any of these apply to you, I just

want you to stand by faith, okay? If they don't

apply to you, just stay seated. But if they apply

to you, you just stand by faith and you start

grabbing this.

Somebody say it's time. I'm shifting into discipline and out

of chaos. Okay, I love my church because we real

often here. Somebody say, it's time.

I'm shifting into stewardship and out of waste. Somebody say,

it's time. I'm shifting into prayer and out of worry.

Somebody say, it's time.

I'm shifting into collaboration and out of isolation. Somebody say,

it's time. I'm shifting into trust and shifting out of control.

Somebody say, it's time. I feel like preaching in here.

I'm shifting into standards. And I'm shifting out of emotional despair.

You don't get to play with my emotions no more.

I got a standard, baby, you can't take me on

a date.

Uh-oh. You don't got a job. You don't love God

and you don't know how to pray. Somebody say, it's time.

I'm shifting into expectation and out of cynicism.

I know what the world says, but my God says

something different.

This word is giving me life in a crazy dark world.

Somebody say, it's time.

I'm shifting into abundance and out of lack. I will

have abundance of wisdom. Oh, you thought I was just

talking about money. I will have abundance of peace. I

will have an abundance of words of knowledge. I will

have abundance of understanding.

Everybody else might not get it, but baby, I got

the mind of Christ. Somebody shout at me, it's time.

I'm shifting into purpose and out of procrastination. By faith,

I'm telling you something's about to shift. Somebody say, it's time.

I'm shifting into confidence and out of insecurity.

If you know it's your time to shift, give God

one more big shout of praise before you take your seat. Yes,

it's time. Take your seats. I'm shifting into something.

The reason I have to talk to you like this

because I'm trying to be your coach right now to

bring you out of spiritual paralysis.

Some of y'all been stuck in the quicksand of your

faith and God's like, come on, baby, it's time.

It's time to move. Me and my daughters were talking

about I got a daughter that's about to turn 13.

I don't want to talk about it because I'm emotional.

But we were talking about their first steps the other day.

And we were going to back, and I'm that dad.

I'm that dad that records everything. I'm that dad that

has all the footage. And we were talking about their

first step. They don't remember it. But me and Natalie

were telling them, it's time. I know your muscles are

big enough. I know you probably are a little wobbly,

but we were encouraging to take steps. If you've ever seen.

Your kids walk, you're standing in front of them and

you're saying, come on, baby. Come on, baby. It's time.

And I just see God saying to you like this.

Come on, baby. It's time. It's time for you to

stop falling into sin like that anymore. It's time for

you to have a standard and stand up in what

I called you to do.

It's time for you to speak the word and it

actually come.

To pass in your life. Somebody say, it's time. It's time.

It's time.

Because when God shifts you, I want you to write

this down. The shift into, whatever you're shifting into, reveals

God's intention for you, but it requires our implementation.

Let me say it one more time. Whatever you're shifting

into reveals that God intends for you to do more.

He intends to put you in the game. He intends

that you actually play.

People be, you know, if you're not in sports and

you're just spectating and watching a coach get on its players,

a lot of times you'll find that the coach is

harder on a couple of players. And the reason that

the coach continues to point out all of their flaws

is because they intend for them to be in the game.

When the coach don't say nothing.

To you, be very worried because you are not an

intricate part of the plan. But when God tells you, hey,

it's time to change this, it's time to up your language,

it's time for you to forgive, it's because he has

an intention for you. But anytime God, our great coach,

has an intention.

For you, he does not do what you have to do.

So his intention is stopped at your implementation. Okay, I

got to slow down because some of y'all just hear

the alliterations. Like that's an I word and that's an

I word and that's an I word. That was good,

Pastor Mike. Listen to the words I'm saying. Whatever you're

shifting into, it means God has an intention for you.

But his intention for you.

Is stop if you don't implement or obey his instructions.

So God can say shift and you can say stay.

God can say shift and you can be like not

yet God can say shift and you can be like

but God I really don't want people to look at

me that way and he's saying hey I want to

play you. I want to count on you. I want

you to actually be a part of the next move

I'm about to do. This is Joshua's whole thing. He said,

Moses is dead. Get up, lead the people. They don't

know I'm the leader.

I told you you were though. I have intention for

you to lead them into the promised land.

I didn't get to tell you this last week, and

maybe I'll preach a sermon on it at the end

of it, but one of the reasons I believe that

God chose Joshua to lead the people is because a

few chapters earlier, Moses sent out people to go spy

out the land.

Do y'all remember this? And one of the two people

that came back with a positive report, his name was Joshua.

Joshua was the one that God called to lead these

people into the promised land because he had been there before.

And he didn't go as the leader. He went as

a servant. And many times, y'all don't hear what I'm saying.

You think God got you in that place because you

a lowly servant.

He's trying to get you used to walking on ground

that you own one day. He's trying to get you

in a place to get familiar while you're around those people.

I got to stop yelling, y'all. I'm so sorry, but

I'm happy because I believe. I believe. I believe. that

God used Joshua because he had the faith to look

at a place that was filled with milk.

And honey and had giants in it. And his confession was,

we are well able. Some of y'all got to get

a different confession. How much is the house? It's a lot,

but we are well. Y'all don't hear me. How are

we going to start that business? I'm not sure, but

we are well.

If God be for us, y'all don't believe the word.

It's God before me, Charles. Who? Who's going to stand

against me? Okay, maybe the Bible is not helping you.

Let me give you a live example.

When God intends to use you, he's going to give

you instructions and you have to obey them right now.

Before you understand it.

So God was trying to shift me personally into health.

About five years ago. Because God said, I.

Have intention for you to represent me to the entire

world for a long time, but your body can't take it.

You are carrying around weight that is unnecessary. I'm not

talking about you. If you feel convicted, take that up

with God. But this is me. And people close to

me know that God told me your body, physical health,

mental health, emotional health. The ministry can go only to

the level your body can take it.

I said, Lord, that ain't fair. Because I know a

lot of fat.

Preachers that are doing really well. And I just feel

like that's not okay. He said, I have intentions for you.

So after the intention, he gave me instructions to implement.

Stop eating fast food every day.

Meal prep.

Hire a trainer. Work out five days a week. You

drink mostly water.

God. God. This feels like hell. This does not feel

like heaven.

What he was trying to do is tell me I

have something for you.

I plan to use you.

But you stop it if you don't watch this prophetic word.

Execute. I had to interrupt the message real quick. I'm

about to go right back to preaching, but I need

you to hear me say this. You need to be

a conference. I literally don't ever do this, but I

am interrupting the service because you're hearing something right now that's.

Like, maybe it could be me. Maybe I could be

the one to change my whole family. And the conference

theme this year is bloodline. There is somebody that has

to interrupt the bloodline. It may have not started with you,

but it ends with you. Those generational patterns, those habits,

all of those things are being cut off and something

new is about to happen.

A season of generational blessings. I'm so committed to this

that I asked the team, could there be a way

for us to get a code, a discount, a something

to let them know it don't matter about the money.

We need you to be here. And this is what

they said. You can text V5 to 828282 right now

from your phone. Like, do it right now. And then

in the promo code, type SHIFT. And it's going to

give you a discount that's going to help you prayerfully

make it to conference. There's less than 300 tickets left.

And I believe one of those tickets has your name

on it. And God wants you to be a part

this moment because you are going to change your bloodline.

Now back to the message.

And I think there are so many people in the

body of Christ that if God went silent right now

and never said another thing, you would have enough to

do for two lifetimes if you just obeyed what he

already told you to do. Okay, don't be mad at me.

All I'm telling you is your implementation is low. Your

obedience is low. You're following instructions. You would get an

F on a test.

Well, maybe a D.

No, you're failing. Because understanding is not obedience. Most people

can't explain to me what they're supposed to do and

still never do it. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying

in here.

God is desiring for you to become something and you

can know what you need to do. But that doesn't

mean you did it.

Today, I'm trying to move you from just understanding it

to obedience because God has an intention for you. This

is why James chapter 1 verse 22 says, but don't

James 1:22

just be a hearer or listen to God's word. You must,

everybody say, do what it says. If you don't do

what it says, it says, otherwise you are only fooling yourself.

Uh-oh.

You fooling yourself when you don't obey God. For if

you listen to the word and don't obey it, it's

like glancing at your face in a mirror and then

forgetting what you look like.

Hear me when I say it.

If you're going to shift into this next level, you

have to obey the instructions that come with the shift.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to walk you slowly into this.

Let me give you another example because the children of

Israel may not be enough for you that we lost

40 years and over 2 million people because God delivered

them from slavery, but they never went into the promised land.

Now their kids have an opportunity to do this. And

God said, maybe you're going to have to do something

your parents never did. Maybe you're going to have to

do something that big mama never was able to do.

Maybe you're going to have to do something.

Watch this. That's uncomfortable and unfamiliar. This is what happened

to me.

God told me, he said, Michael, I'm shifting you into vulnerability.

And if anybody knows me personally, that's a hard one

for me.

Because I'm an eight on the Enneagram.

I feel like emotions are, by the way, extra things.

Like let's get it done. All this, this ain't.

Going to help nothing. So handle that and let's go.

And God said, yeah, guess what? I'm shifting you from

your natural to the supernatural. I need you to be

more vulnerable.

For what, God? I need to be a strong man

of God. He said, because that wife I gave you.

To be vulnerable is going to make you close with her.

So you're going to have to share when you're hurting.

You're going to have to share when you're scared. You're

going to have to share. And I was like, that

feels a little too, oh, vulnerable.

And God told me, he said, because I want to

use your relationship as an example of what I.

Can do with two people who are surrendered, you're.

Going to have to get more vulnerable.

Okay, God, so I need to shift in the vulnerability.

So what does that mean?

He said, the intention is I want to use you

so now you got to have some implementation tell me

what to do God go to counseling by yourself and

do an intensive for five days and meet with this

man and tell him all your business and then ask

him what should I do and pray about it and

cry on the floor and get in touch with little

Michael and read the scriptures and do all this ridiculous

vulnerable stuff and then come back and have enough energy

to share with your wife what you've been going through

Because it's not enough to be like, it was good.

Oh, y'all know how me and we will sum it

all up. How was it? Good. Do you feel better? Yup.

And what I'm telling you, why are you telling me this?

It's because the shift into something always leads to a promise.

God desires for you more than you desire for yourself.

His promise for you outweigh the greatest days of your life.

You've never seen the man you're going to be or

the woman you're going to be until you tap into

the promises of God. But you cannot do that without

obeying what he tells you to do. James 2.26, this

is one of the most famous scriptures in the world.

And even if you didn't know this was the reference,

you probably heard this. Faith without works. Say it again.

Faith without works is dead. I read that scripture because

I've said it, put it on t-shirts. One of the

greatest messages I ever spoke in my youth ministry was

about this, and what ended up happening was i didn't

realize the context of where god put this and who

he was talking about when he said it my friend

travis green says you can't just read the bible you

gotta read the bible And so I was looking at

this this week to tell you, man, obey God, have faith,

and put your faith with actions, and it's going to

do great things for you, brother.

That's what I wanted to say. But then I started

reading up and then reading down.

In verse 25, he's talking specifically about somebody's crazy faith.

Can y'all guess that? who God was talking about in

James chapter two, verse 25. Now let me give you

a cheat sheet to the test. At the first part.

Of James chapter two, he was talking about Abraham, the

father of our faith. The one that God is going

to use. We got Abraham. Abraham, he probably had faith.

Do you know the only other example they used in

this story was a woman named Rahab. Now if you

don't read your Bible, you won't understand how.

Revolutionary this is.

Because Rahab never shows up in the Bible without her

profession being right after her name.

Oh, y'all don't know what I'm talking about. In my Bible,

it says Rahab the prostitute. God dog. Now, you could

have left them. You could have just said Ray. You

could have just said Ray Ray. You could have just

said Rahab in her last name. But you got to

put in.

Watch this, the thing that people would judge about her.

As a part of her identity. But the thing about

the Bible is everything is put.

Their own purpose for purpose so that somebody.

Else can learn from it. So they call her in

the entire Bible, Rahab, the prostitute. Now, this is an example,

the Bible says, of faith, great faith with action. Abraham, Rahab,

the prostitute. We don't get Abraham the drunk. Nobody else

in this thing gets defined by their worst moment.

But Rahab, the prostitute, And I begin to say, why

is that? Well, when I was studying my Bible, I

went from James chapter two, verse 26, and I found

out that Rahab's story is found in Joshua number two.

Last week was Joshua number one, and this week is

Joshua number two. God tells Joshua.

Shift, take these people into the promised land.

The next chapter, he says, before we take over and

walk around the walls of Jericho and get this big victory.

I want to tell you about a woman whose faith

was so great that she shifted her whole family.

Okay.

Cause some of y'all think that your whole family has

to get it for them to actually be saved.

But my Bible says.

If I got one believing person, One believing family member.

One person that says, ask for me in my house.

I know they in the streets right now. I know

they doing stuff that has nothing to do with God.

We will serve the Lord, okay? This is a woman

with great faith, the Bible says, because she was about

to shift for her entire family. She was about to

change her family's bloodline. Okay. Some of y'all, this is

hitting your.

Soul because this is the shift that's about to be made.

You thought it was just a shift to be able

to be happier.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

He's called you to change the bloodline of your family.

And I'm telling you this because as I was reading

the word of God, he said, Michael, don't skip over

this and just talk about the people getting to walk

into the promised land.

Because there's some people right now who are believing that

feel like they have to believe timidly because of where

they've been. What they've been doing, how they are seen,

how people are categorizing them. And I know you don't

know nothing about this, but it feels bad when people

are lying about you or telling the truth about you

and the thing is not in a good light.

Rahab, the prostitute has to decide to shift. Somebody say shift.

And this is what I want to give you. I

want to give everybody a confession for the next seven days.

I want to give you a confession to say every

morning so you can shift. I am a very spiritual

person that wants everything to be practical. So I don't

want you to talk about the seventh heaven if I

don't know how to.

Use it on Monday.

And a lot of the church is about impressing people

with no application. But I need you to execute. So

somebody's like, what do I do after church? I want

you to say this confession.

Look at it. I wrote this out specifically for every

person in this room that knows it's time to shift.

It says, I'm shifting into something new. Say it after me.

I'm shifting into something new. Okay, we're going to try

that again. I didn't give quite good enough instructions because

that was very bad, okay? So I'm going to say it,

and then you're going to say it. Somebody say, I'm

shifting into something new. Because God has good intentions for me.

I will be found faithful now.

I will implement the instructions that may or may not

make sense to me with full trust and devotion. I

will not just hear the word. Say it with faith.

I will not just hear the word. I will do

the work. I will trust fully. Obey boldly. And move faithfully.

I'm done standing still. It's time to shift.

If you believe that, give God a shout.

Of praise in this place. I want you to take

a picture of that. We're going to put it online.

I want you to say it every day. Because some

of you, the transformation has to happen here first.

You're not stuck in that job. You're not stuck at

that house. You're not stuck in that rut. God is

shifting you.

But you have to be willing to have great faith

no matter what your situation looks like right now.

And this is where we find Rahab, the prostitute. Some

of y'all offended because I keep saying it. The Bible

says it.

I want you to understand there's a reason why they

keep saying this to let you know no matter where

you are. You are not too far from God using

you to shift your life and your family's life.

Watch this. While you still getting clean from what you in. Oh, yeah. Okay.

I felt the religious get really. I felt you. Okay.

Joshua chapter two, verse one. I'm going to read. I'm

going to skip through this story so you can see

that Pastor Mike not just making this up. I'm going

to give you three points and we're going to go home.

Because somebody's shift is about to happen right now. It says,

then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp.

This is just funny.

Last time Moses sent out 12, Joshua was like, I

ain't doing that no more.

Only two came back with a positive report. I'm only

sending two this time. I need a positive report. Just wisdom. Wisdom, okay.

Applied knowledge. Just funny to me.

He instructed them, scout out the land on the other

side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho. This was

a fortified city. And it says, so the two men

set out and came to.

The house of the prostitute named Rahab and stayed there

that night. I got a lot of questions. I just,

you know, I got a lot of.

Questions that out of every place to stay, these two

men of God end up at the brothel, but God's

working on everybody.

That's a religion. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this.

I did that because I wanted you to see how

religion looks at something immediately to judge it for the

wrong reason. But as they were spies, they were undercover.

And so the thing that you need to know is

that they were trying to go to the most inconspicuous

place that all kinds of people would be at. And

Rahab's brothel was on the wall. That means that men

would come in from war, come in for traveling, come

in from everywhere, and all types of people would be

in this place. So it was the safest place for

them to be in without being seen. I just want

to give you context to what's happening because some of

y'all got stuck there.

Why are they at the brothel?

It's because they were trying to spy out the land.

And this is one of the things, this ain't a

part of my sermon, Pastor Charles, but.

I got to say it.

This is why you can't judge where you find believers at.

Because some believers have integrity to be in places that are, okay,

because they're sitting there on secret mission. There are people

that are supposed to be in places not to.

Be changed by the atmosphere, but to actually change. the

atmosphere and.

There are too many of us that if we see

a believer in something you think.

Something is wrong but maybe they were assigned by God.

That ain't even my message let's I just need y'all

to know we got to stop judging people When God

calls them to be in places, Rahab never gets the

opportunity to be saved if these men do not have

the integrity to be in the brothel for one night

without committing sin. I won't even touch that. I won't

even touch that. Go to Joshua chapter two, verse eight.

It says, before the spies went to sleep that night,

Rahab went.

On the roof to talk to them. Oh my God,

this ain't even my sermon. They didn't stay inside the brothel.

They were supposed to be in the atmosphere, but they

went to the roof. They went to the place where

it could be thought they were in there for one reason,

but their integrity took them higher.

And they were sitting on the roof. Charles, this is

coming from God. I need somebody to say, when you

are in it, you're not supposed to be of it.

I'm in the club to minister, but you don't have

15 shots. That's being... Hold on, wait.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait. Integrity. Man looks on the outward. God

looks at the heart. When believers start walking in integrity,

it can look bad and still be good. Okay. He

said she went to talk to them on the roof.

And she noticed that they was walking different than everybody else.

Look what Rahab says. Um. Hello, fellas. I just wanted

to let y'all know I see who y'all are. I

discern it. And I know the Lord has given y'all

the land. We are all afraid of you. Just, yeah,

we are scared. And honestly, everyone in the land is

living here in terror. Verse 10. For we have heard

how the Lord made a dry path for you through

the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know

what you did to Sihon and the OG. It's odd,

but I like the OG. The two Amorite kings east

of the Jordan River whose people you completely destroyed. We

heard about y'all. And we heard about your God. It says, so...

No wonder our hearts have melted in fear. No one

has the courage to fight y'all after hearing such things.

For the Lord, your God, listen to how she talking.

For the Lord, your God is the supreme God of

the heavens above and the earth below.

Verse 12. Now swear to me by the Lord that

you serve that you'll be kind to me because I

could have put y'all on blast. and told everybody, here

are the spies. But I ain't going to do y'all

like that. I'm going to hide you here. I need

you to give me a guarantee.

That when Jericho is conquered, you will let me live

along with my father. Let me give you my list.

My mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all their families.

She was like, not just me. I need a Do

y'all see this? No, no, no. I'm going somewhere. I

want you to follow me in the Bible. Go down

to verse 17.

It said before the men left, the men told her,

we going to do what you ask because we ain't

seeing crazy faith like this in a minute. You a

woman and in that culture that was looked at as lower.

You're a prostitute, ill. That's what they would have said

in that moment. Look, watch this. You're a Gentile.

You don't even believe like us, but because of your crazy.

Faith, Y'all don't hear me.

When you have faith to believe something, even if you

don't have any of the qualifications, I'm getting happy. God

begins to respond to faith.

Watch this.

No matter who it comes from. Oh, that makes me

feel good. No matter if your family believe, no matter

if you don't have all of the language, no matter

if you can speak in tongues, no matter if you

don't understand how to do it right. My God responds

to faith. And this prostitute, watch this, while at work.

This wasn't a day of worshiping the Lord. She was

at work.

She was like, y'all, I'll be right back. I'm going

to go take a smoke break on the roof real quick.

Come on, put yourself in the Bible. She said, I

know who y'all are.

And we know your God about to take over this

whole thing. I got faith to believe that if I

hide y'all here, Y'all will be kind to me.

Verse 17. Look at this. I love the Bible.

Before they left, the men told her, we will be

bound by the oath we have taken.

Watch this. Only if you follow these instructions.

I just want to let you know that when God

comes to tell you something that he's going to shift,

it always comes with instructions.

And he, listen to what they said. Verse 18. This

is what I want to preach.

When we come into the land and bust everybody up,

it didn't say that, but that's what I saw. When

we come into the land and bust everybody up, you

must leave, watch this, the scarlet rope hanging from the

window through which you let us down with, and all

of your family members, your father, Your mother, your brother,

your babies, kids, cousins.

Everybody, all your relatives. Watch this.

Must be here inside the house. Today, I want to

preach in my last 15 minutes. It's time to get

in the house. I said, it's time to get in

the house.

God is not protecting you in the streets no more.

He said, I need you in the house.

I need you in the house I've called you to.

I need you in the.

House that may not be the place you want to be.

But it's time to get.

In the house. He said, Michael, my protection comes with

a perimeter.

He said, I can minister and touch and heal and save,

and my grace extends to people outside of that all

the time. He said, but when I give an instruction

of a location to be in, you best be there.

I'm sorry, that was country.

You better be there. Why are you saying that? Because

in the house, in the house of God, Some of

you have been flirting with church, with God, house. You

grew up in church. You didn't know. You let the

weather dictate whether you're going to be in the house.

You let other things.

I'm coming as your pastor today to set this straight

real quick. You let how you feeling and a little headache.

You don't make those decisions when you got to go

to work.

You only got four PTO days.

You said, I'm about to get this money no matter what.

You need to get this provision in the house. You

need to get this word in the house.

That job ain't seeing you through every situation, but the God,

the Prince of Peace has been. Somebody say, get in

the house.

I know it's rough to get your teenage kids to

get up on Sundays.

I know it's rough, but they go to school.

And you give them kids to that public school system

and them friends and all the stuff for eight hours

a day and you won't give them to the house

of God for three hours a week.

14 with a full agenda on Sunday. Okay. It's time

to get in the house.

You better hear this prophetic declaration I'm saying to y'all.

Being a part of the Ecclesia or the body of

Christ is no longer an option.

It is a matter of safety. Y'all didn't hear what

I just said.

I'm coming to prophetically tell you being a part, a

known part of the body is a matter of safety.

Everything around you is about to come down, but.

The only place you're safe in the house. Okay. It's

in the house. It's in the house. Like when I

need peace, it's in the house.

Like I couldn't find the words to pray this week.

I almost went back into the depression, but somehow I

got in the house and they started singing.

A song and you'll forever be holy. And somehow that

spirit of heaviness got up off of me because I

was in the house. Today I'm giving Transformation Church.

Actual and anybody that's listening I'm giving you a prophetic

command get in the house.

And Rahab wasn't.

The only one that got in the house because she

could have been selfish and said as long as I'm

good like I mean everybody else but her exact instructions

was could you make space for me my mama my daddy.

My brothers my sisters they kids and.

Some of you have stopped sharing your faith you stopped

caring about anybody outside of your specific okay And God's

calling you to be the one to actually be the

clarion call for your whole family to.

Get in the house. This is not just for you.

It's for the protection of, watch this, your bloodline.

If Rahab does not take this moment of faith, everybody

in her family gets wiped out. Addiction takes the whole

family out. Divorce takes the whole family out. The generational patterns.

But Rahab to say, I know I'm not the cleanest,

but I got something all these other people don't have.

Guess what it is? Common sense. You thought I was

about to say faith. Watch this. Watch this. Rahab had

enough common sense to say, what I've been loyal to

ain't working no more. I need to switch allegiances. See

how she started talking, your.

God is mighty. He's the supreme God. She ain't never prayed,

ain't never sang a worship song, ain't never done anything.

But she said, I got enough common sense to say

something is shifting here. We not safe in these streets

no more. Pastor Mike, why are you saying this? Because

the subtitle to my message is a common sense shift.

Y'all are over-spiritualizing the shift that needs to happen.

In your life.

Some of the things you need to do is just

look around. See, I'm telling y'all, I want to be

spiritual and practical. Rahab did not get a prophecy. Two

men are coming to your brothel, and they will be glowing.

And as you see them pass, the wind of his

glory will hit you.

And that's how you'll know they are the man. She

was looking like... Two men just came into the brothel

and they asked for no ladies. They went straight to

the roof. Hmm, y'all hold on one second. They don't

look like everybody else. Their language, their dialect, something's different

about them.

She wasn't using a spiritual gift. She was using common sense.

And the shift that many of you need, it's a

common sense shift.

Shift.

I need a word from God. Shift. But you don't

read your Bible. If you need a word from God,

it's called the word God. You want a word or

on top of rhema? Open it. This is a common

sense shift. Let me define a common sense shift because

this is what you needed today. Some of y'all have

been like, eat. I know we're going into fasting next week,

but some of y'all have been fasting for the wrong thing.

I know you ain't never heard no pastor say this.

You don't need to fast for more finances. You need

a job and a budget.

Open the windows of heaven. You don't want to work.

Hold on, no job is good enough for you right now?

Common sense. You don't have Louis Vuitton money.

How you pulling up in the Tesla at the apartment

complex with no Tesla charger?

Shoot. You stealing charge. You are stealing charge from somewhere. Common.

I'm not saying one day you can't have a Tesla.

I'm just saying right now you need a bike. you

need an electric bike you need to start pedaling and

then coast for about two miles.

You said you wanted to get in shape too it's

look I just want you to know this is also

the woman that in Hebrews is called a woman of

great faith because great faith many times starts with common sense.

That is nasty. Let me give you the definition.

A common sense shift is when you stop being loyal

to something that clearly isn't working anymore. I'm gonna say

it one more time for the people in the back.

A common sense shift is when you stop being loyal

to something that is clearly not working anymore.

That relationship don't work no more.

Him calling you at 1 a.m. to see what you watching.

Nothing big head.

Stop. No, I'm trying to. This is clearly not working,

but you're still loyal to it. The shift you need

is common. You have to stop responding when you are emotional.

You don't need a word. You need common. You're about

to get fired again because you want to let them

know how you feel. You need to write that email

and then push delete because you know this is leading

to nowhere. It's common. You know, if you have great faith,

you don't need to ask that friend what they think

about it. Because that friend ain't believe God ever. So

why would you go to the person who don't trust

God to find out if you should take a step

in trusting God? Some of y'all don't need to have

friends who have bad marriages when you trying to have

a good marriage.

Because asking them, what would you do, bro?

His stuff is jacked up. You don't ask him. It's

common sense.

You're loving something that don't love you back. You're committed

to something and someone who's not committed to you back.

And Rahab realizes me being loyal to this city and

where I came from is no longer working. God has chosen.

Jericho's coming down. And if you study the actual geography,

her brothel is on the wall. Her brothel, listen, if

you study, is built into the wall. So literally the

wall of Jericho is coming down and her house is

built into the wall. So the first thing to go

is going to be my house. Unless you're covered.

Oh my God.

It doesn't tell us that she was supposed to get out.

Of the house. It says get everybody in the house.

So the rest of the wall's going to fall. But

guess what? There was a little sliver. There was a.

Little piece of that wall still standing where it said,

don't touch it. Because there was a red scarlet rope

that reminds me of what happened in the Passover to

get a lamb and put the blood on the door.

And it was a type and a shadow of what

Jesus Christ would do.

The perfect lamb that was slain. So when you see

the blood, you got a Passover. Oh my goodness. What

are you saying, Pastor Mike?

It probably wouldn't have made sense for her to get

in the house if she knew the wall was coming down.

Because God still wanted to do a miracle that.

She wouldn't be able to take credit for. She could

have left right then and be like, y'all, hooty-hoo, family,

we got to go. It's going down. She could have

done that. That would have been a way she made.

But the instructions God gave... was get everybody you know

and you love, get them in the house. So it

took faith to trust God. It took vulnerability to call, hey, Jamarcus, Deleon, Chad.

I don't know what these kids' name was. Richard, Rico, Rahobius.

Everybody tell your cousins, tell them, come on. Come on.

Tell them all.

Why?

It don't even matter. It's time to get in the house.

Come on. Somebody do like this. And I believe you're

calling your family into the house of God. I believe

this is going to be the sign. Hey, I know

you don't like church, but come on. I'm going to

buy you lunch every weekend. Come on.

I know this don't make sense to you right now.

You're a Muslim, but come on.

Y'all don't hear me. Come get in the mom, dad.

I want you to go to church with me. You

want to spend time with me? You want to build

a relationship? God's saying it's time to get them in

the house by any means necessary.

Because listen, a common sense shift can produce family salvation

and change your bloodline. Rahab is the key to people

who didn't even know about Israel's God. They didn't even

know yet. They were living in a whole different religion,

but they got saved because of one woman's common sense.

And her common sense turned into great faith.

And when her great faith then becomes fully blossomed, She

now shows up in the Bible over four times with

spiritual giants. Y'all don't hear me. I'm talking Abraham. I'm

talking she. This woman Rahab is in the hall of

faith in Hebrews. Rahab name and they leave prostitute there.

They don't ever take the prostitute away because I need

you to know you cannot go into your next shift

and not carry your testimony. Don't roll up your testimony.

Yeah, I used to be that. That was me. That's crazy,

ain't it? But look what the Lord has done.

If you know God has brought you a mighty long way, give.

Him a shout of praise in this place. Standing all

over this place.

I need somebody to hear me say this who has

been ashamed of the last seasons of your life.

Watch this. Rahab proves to us.

And literally gives us credible evidence that you can be

saved even if you.

Are not yet sanctified.

I know the religious, they want to clean fish that

have not been caught yet. But Rahab proves to us

that her faith while at work, as a prostitute, on

whatever night this was, she saved her entire family Because

she had faith to believe she didn't have to have

it all together yet. Everybody listen to me. You're going

to miss the best part of this sermon.

God is calling you now.

Now.

Well, I got to get some things together now. Well,

I was just smoking with them last week. Now.

God is not as concerned about where you are today

as he is concerned about where you are going. And

this moment for the body of Christ is time for

you to get in the house because it is divine protection.

Because watch this. Your current patterns don't change God's sovereign pattern.

All throughout the.

Word, God uses people that people think you shouldn't use.

All throughout the word, he takes the lowly. He takes

the one who has an issue, the one who has

an addiction, the one who is a tax collector, the

one who's a prostitute, the one he specializes sovereignly in

choosing the one that everybody else would throw away.

And he's saying, what about you? Why can't we do

this great work together? Today, I want you to understand

that she saves her whole family. Because she did three things.

She looked, she listened, and then she took a leap.

Common sense. Everybody say common sense. Her shift came because

she looked, they're different. She listened, they talking different. Something's

happened that I heard about their God. And she took

a leap. Hey, I want to make a commitment to you.

I'll save you now. But I'm asking you remember me

and save me and my family here Pastor Mike why is.

This important because God told me when you're in the

right house three things happen and I don't want you

to forget this and I need everybody to watch this

message again I need you to send it to your

whole family because this is a bloodline changing message when

you get in the right house the right house of

God the right place that he calls you to be

in three things happen you get covering you get connection

And your calling gets to come alive.

Watch this.

Rahab's family, listen, do not get saved if they're at

the neighbor's house.

What are you trying to say, Pastor Mike? Being around

the house of God is not being in the house

of God. And a lot of y'all are around the

house of God. A lot of people are, oh yeah,

I watch them. And oh, I love Pastor Stephen Furtick.

And oh yeah, I went to the concert. And oh yeah.

And don't nobody know your name in the house.

You're not serving in the house. You're not putting your

hands to the plow in the house. In a big

old church like this, you'd be like, yeah, man, I

love Transformation Church. You've been here five years, and you

never cleaned the house? You never ate at the table

in the house? You sit in and slip out?

God's saying, I want you to be in the house

because I'm trying to cover you.

Covering the word in the Hebrew that's here in the

scripture is hyssop and it actually means to be under

something It's kind of like.

The concept of an umbrella.

You can't stop it from raining, but you can stop

the rain from getting on you And God says when

you're in the right house when you're actually committed I

can't stop the crazy from happening in the world, but

I can.

Cover you and While the crazy is happening. And you

need connection to be able to be all that you

can be. And you need to answer the calling. What

are you saying, Pastor Mike? The street light is on.

It's time to come home. See, some of y'all are

too young to remember this, but back in the day,

in the 70s, in the 60s, in the 80s, even

a little bit in the 90s, we didn't have iPads

and we didn't have the internet in our pockets. Okay,

can anybody remember with me.

When outside was the best place to be? And what

would happen is you would play on the streets. You

might be playing basketball on the street corner or you.

You may be at your friend's house jumping on a

trampoline or you might be playing stickball in the street.

But there was an international sign that it was time

to get in the house. I feel my health coming on.

Does anybody remember what that international sign was? It's when

it got dark all around and then the street light

came on. And when you saw the street light come on,

it didn't matter where you was at in the game.

It didn't matter. Y'all know what I'm saying. Like, hey, y'all,

I got to go. Because I ain't getting whooped tonight

for y'all.

The Bible says your word will be a light unto

my feet, a lamp unto my feet. and a light

to my path. Today I came to tell you that

the light is on. And the world is getting darker

and darker. There's wars literally happening right now. And rumors

of wars and gas prices and all of these different

things and you're getting worried and scared and God said,

but my light has not dimmed.

It's time to get in.

Today, I need you to know that the Rahab revelation

was not deep.

It was common sense.

Some of the shifts that God is calling you to

make are not going to come with some big prophetic utterance.

he's going to tell you to look around learn what's happening.

And take a leap of faith why because when you

get in the right house you're covered last night at

about one o'clock in the morning if you're in Tulsa

there was a storm That happened, knocked out power, woke

up kids, did all kind of stuff. We didn't even

know it was coming. Channel 6, you didn't tell us.

It was crazy.

But the truth of the matter is, we couldn't stop

the storm from coming.

But the only thing that has me here today is

I wasn't outside where the lightning was hitting. I was

protected inside.

And today, church, I'm sitting here because it's time for

you to stop negotiating with what's next. God said, I'm

telling you, the shift is for you to get yourself

and your whole family.

In the house. Pastor Mike, that makes sense. But, you know,

churches are so different. And, you know, y'all go a

little longer than I'm used to or. Oh, y'all play

a lot of the, hey, guess what?

Back then, that was the only house they could be in.

But today, the Bible calls us the body of Christ.

And I'm so committed to this that we have, from

the beginning of our church, made a decision that we

would not just promote our church. We would not just

tell you, get in this house. We literally make cars

that say, not your cup of tea. And today I'm

going to give everybody the opportunity, if this is not

the church or the house that you feel called to,

it's fine.

We want you to be refreshed, helped, inspired. Literally, I

want you to be set on fire, but I need

you to find the house that you are called to.

Because I don't want you in need.

Listen to me when I say this, these streets ain't

safe no more. It's not okay for you to just

be searching online for spirituality. You will find yourself in

a cult quicker.

Y'all don't hear me. I know people who knew the word. No,

I'm not playing. Because everybody, you're built with a God

hole looking for the truth.

But your faith comes by hearing. And hearing the word

of God. So this little card right here, it says,

not your cup of tea. And we made these up.

We've had them for almost a decade. And I told

our team that we are going to be a kingdom place.

That if this is not your house, we good. Find

your house and get in the house.

This is not a matter of sensationalism. This is a

matter of safety.

And on the back, you'll find a list of other

churches literally a block away from us and churches all

over the country. Why are you saying this, Pastor Mike?

Because it's your time to get in the house. Because

there's two type of people that are hearing this message today.

The first one are people who've been in the house

and the enemy's been trying to lure you into the streets.

And I came to tell you, stay in the house.

This is not a negotiation. Well, I just think, I mean,

Sunday's my only day off and I'm talking very practical

and I just need to recharge and rest and I

just need to.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You need to stop watching Netflix all night and you

need to listen to me. Stay in the house. And

there's another group of people who've been flirting with God.

And you've been coming on special Sundays and you came

last week and you came back this week and you

was like, I'm good till Christmas. Hear me. You need

to get in the house.

Maybe some of you need to join us for the

next seven days of prayer and fasting.

You can catch up on some of the days you've

been out of the house. We're going to be in

this house every night. And if you're online, I want

you to watch. We're just trying to get in the

place where we're like, God, we just want to be

under your hand of protection.

Because the greatest thing, listen, that we want to see

is our calling come to life. The last thing I'm

going to tell you about Rahab, I'm literally passing all

kinds of stuff.

But one of the coolest things is found in Matthew

Matthew 1:1–6

chapter 1, verse 1 through 6. Can I read y'all

one more piece of Bible?

Okay.

This is the record of the ancestors of Jesus. A

descendant of David and Abraham.

Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was the

father of Jacob, and Jacob was the father of Judah

and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah,

whose mother was Tamar. Perez was the father of Hezron,

and Hezron was the father of Ram. This sounds like

a bloodline. And Ram was.

The father of Abinadab, and Abinadab was the father of Nashum,

and Nashum was the father of Salmon, and Salmon was

the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab.

Hold on, it's the line of Jesus. Jesus Boaz was

the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed was

the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of King David.

King David is the direct line to Jesus. If Rahab

does not make a common sense shift.

Her family is not saved. Ladies, we don't get Boaz. Okay,

first off, thank God. And the bloodline of Jesus is

now interrupted. But one prostitute's faith changed the bloodline of

our Savior. What could you do?

This is why I'm going to say this one last time.

I feel impressed. This is why some of you coming

to conference is no longer a negotiation. You may be.

Watching right now, and I told the team right before

I walked out here, there's some people that finances have

been the reason. They lowered the price for the next

seven days through prayer and fasting.

So if you want to come to conference.

There's less than 300 tickets left to pack this arena out.

And I just feel that it's not everybody, but there

is somebody that's saying for those three days, it will

be the shift for my bloodline.

And if you're in this room or you're there, I want.

You to text V5 to 828282 and literally put in

the code SHIFT. And it's going to knock the price down.

It's going to get you in here. I'm saying this

because the time is now. Or I could say it

like this.

It's time. Right after this service, we're about to go

out of here. And on the lawn, we're about to

baptize 57 people. Oh, y'all can do better than that.

But I feel very impressed that it's not only 57 people.

Some of y'all right now, you need to draw a

line in the sand and say, it's time. It's time

for me to get baptized again. It's time for me

to get baptized in front of my kids. It's time

for me to get baptized in front of my family.

I know I yelled at them yesterday and I still

need to apologize. But right now, I'm going to make

a spiritual sign.

It's time.

Me and my girlfriend had sex last night, but today

it's time to walk into purity. I'm saying real stuff, y'all.

Somebody say it's time. And if you want to get baptized,

right when we dismiss, right out the back doors, I

want you to go. They got all your stuff, undergarments, shirts, everything.

And I want you to join us out there.

And all y'all don't need to go home. We need

to be a community for connection. And some of y'all

need to spend 15 to 30 minutes out there cheering

for people you don't.

Know because they got in the house.

Hear what I'm saying to Transformation Nation, Transformation Church. is

a supplemental house for so many people. We will always represent.

We will always stream. We will always be some of

your churches. The people who are in jail watching from

Pando app, all this stuff, we are your home.

This is the thing. If you cannot get here, move here,

be here, I need you to pray about the house

you're supposed to be in where you're at. Why are

you saying this, Pastor Mike?

Because there's somewhere that you can be covered where there's

connection and you fully walk into your calling.

We want to always be your church. We want to

be always cheering for you, but we don't see you

all the time. We can't touch you all the time.

We can't see you walking past and be like, something's

wrong with them right now. And the enemy likes to

pick us off in isolation. All I'm saying is get

in the house.

Today, the thing about Rahab's family is that they were

all connected by blood. This is what salvation is. It's

everybody believing in the blood of Jesus. And today, if

you're in this room and you need to be a

part of the family of God, today I'm gonna give

you the opportunity by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord

and Savior some of y'all already know thank you God

I'm making a common sense shift I'm staying in the

house I'm gonna obey you I'm gonna do this some

of you are saying today I need to give up

control of my will and today I'm giving it to

you I don't care how young or how old I

don't care if you're watching in the room or online,

watching on rebroadcast 10 months from now. Today is the

day of salvation. I need the church to begin to

pray right now. According to Romans 10, 9, the Bible says,

if you believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and confess

it with your heart, he said, you will be saved.

You get to experience what Rahab got to experience, salvation.

And I know the world will tell you, clean up.

Don't come in smelling like that. They don't know what

you really did, but God does and he still accepts you.

And today we serve the only God that will literally

help you clean up all your bad habits. Today, if

you're under the sound of my voice and you want

Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, today I'm coming

to tell you it's time. It's time for you to

make him your Lord. And on the count of three,

with everybody looking and.

Eyes open, because the thing is, I will not be

ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the

power of God to salvation.

If you want to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord

and Savior, or you want to rededicate your life and

come back to him, On the count of three, I

want you to lift your hands bold and proud. We're

going to shout with you, and all of heaven is

going to rejoice. One, you're making the greatest decision of

your life. There's hands already going up. Two, your name

is going to be written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Come on, y'all. Three, you want to give Jesus your

whole life. I see you up there in the balcony.

I see you, sir. I see you, ma'am. Family, glory

to God. Glory to God. Hey, listen.

At Transformation Church, nobody prays alone. We're a family here.

Imagine this is just Rahab's.

House because we all going to be saved off in here.

Would you lift your hands and pray this with me

for the benefit of those who are coming to Christ? Say, Jesus,

thank you for coming to this earth to save me. Today,

I admit I've sinned. But today, I repent and I

turn to you. I believe you lived, you died, and

you rose again.

With all power to save my life. Here I am, Lord.

You can use me in any way you want to.

Change me, renew me, transform me. I'm yours in Jesus' name. Amen. Hey,

can we celebrate with all of those? Oh, come on, TC.

Heaven is turning up. If you made that decision, I

want you to take save to 828282. And guess what?

You can get a two-for-one special today.

You can go right outside them doors and you just

got saved.

Go ahead and get baptized. Let's celebrate all that God

is doing. Amen. Next week. I can't even explain to

you where we going next week.

Somebody say it's time to shift. And next week is

going to change our lives. Bring your families. Bring your kids.

Bring your cousins. Sit them down on the couch.

Have breakfast. Bring them. Because it's time to get in

the house, amen? Father, bless these people is my prayer.

As we go out to celebrate baptisms, I thank you

that you.

Meet every need. I declare this week will be the

best week ever. That there is a shift coming to

our minds, our hearts, and our families.

You be glorified, lifted, and praised as we serve you

for the rest of our lives. In Jesus' name, we agree.

We expect. Amen. Go out and live a transformed life.

I love you, church.
