Michael Todd - You're Officially Ordained Who's The Minister Here Part 1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I have a word in the house today.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you're ready for the word, I need you to
put some likes in, some comments, and some praise hands
and some amens and.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Make some noise.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Now I need to let you know that I've worked
on some new technology. That there's nobody in the room
right now except like my mama and Charles and the
worship team. But I can feel yo, holla back at me. Okay,
I'm spiritually. I asked the Holy Spirit to let me
be able to feel because there's some of y'all watching
in Africa right now, in Georgia right now. Dallas is

(00:30):
in the building right now, Houston is in the building.
Cali is here right now, wherever you're watching from all
I'm asking you to do. If something is good, if
it agrees with you, I'll need you to act like
you're in the building because I can feel it.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
And the better you help me, the better. I'm a
preach right now.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Okay, So can I get one big amen from everybody?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Come on?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Can I get one more big amen from everybody? That's
what we're saying, So be it. Well, we are starting
week one of a brand new series that I'm entitling
who is.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
The minister here?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
And the honest to God truth is, I've been planning
this series for two years and there is no way
that I would have known that we would be at
this cross roads in society at this moment. But God did,
and he wanted me to challenge every person that is

(01:22):
watching and hearing this broadcast, this message, this playback to
really evaluate if you have truly answered the call that
God has brought you to this earth for.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
And I know some of you right now.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Your job you thought was your calling, but when they
laid you off last week, you found out that you
were expendable there. That's not why God called you. That
wasn't your source, that was a resource. But at the
moment where everything is scaled back, and movie theaters are
closed and sports are shut down, and all of our
honestly distractions to our purpose have now folded up in

(01:59):
one week, God's asking, now, can I have your attention
so that you can do what I created you and
sense you here? For I'm about to come all in
your business today, So let me Okay, who saw Mike? Okay,
Let's let's let's get them started. Let's play a little
game right now. And I want to play a little
game called who's the minister?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
And I'm gonna put a picture on the screen and
I need you to see if you can identify the
minister in the picture. Let's try this, who's the minister?
Does anybody know who that is?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Okay? Some of y'all said TD Jake's okay, I hear you.
Some of y'all like, I don't know who is that?
All right? Let's try another one. Who's the minister here? Okay?
Does anybody know who the minister is? Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I hear somebody saying Joyce Myers and other people said,
that's my aunt Sally.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay, that ain't John Sally. Okay. Let's look who's the
minister here now? Now? Some of you said pastor Stephen Ferdick, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Others of you are saying, that's the guy who does
my laundry every week.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, here we go. Who's the minister here now? Now?
Some of you, I'll be like, that's you.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
And when I think about the question of who's the
minister here, many of you, if you knew the people
in the pictures, you identified the pastor or the teacher
in the picture. You did not identify the minister. See,
because if I was to ask you right now, and
if you were in this building with me and I said, hey,

(03:22):
who's the minister here, four five hundred hands would point
at me, and at that moment I would say, aunt
your own. See, I'm not the minister here. Right down
point number one of this series. You are the minister here.
And see some of you are saying Pastor Mike, no,
I can't be the minister because you don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
What I deal with. You don't know what I've done, you.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Don't know where I come from, you don't know what
things I'm still fighting with. But the problem is that
I see in the body of Christ right now, is
the body of Christ is so fragile because the weight
of the whole of the purpose that God wants to
do has been resting on a few Let me give
you an actual picture of this. See, because what's happening

(04:06):
right now is this is many of the people that
you think are ministers. Oh that's past the Mic, that's
pastor the TD Jakes. Oh that's my pastor that First
Community Church. That's my pastor at First Ebendez, a Baptist.
That's my pastor at number one coolgic church. Okay, whatever
your church is, I don't care about denominations. But we
think it's the pastor the prophet, the apostle, the teacher.

(04:27):
And then something happens in culture and society where the
church is supposed to hold the weight, but when you
put it on somebody like this, they get crushed. They
can't hold it up. And then something else happens and
they get crushed. It's because there's not enough people who
are full that are able to hold up the weight
when society has questions, when people are saying where is God?

(04:51):
There's a few people standing up, But God said, every
child that was born of Me should be standing up
and not ashamed of the gospel. But there's too many
people who have not been identified or accepted the call
that they're the minister. What would happen if people that
are working at the school system, and people that are

(05:11):
arts and entertainment, and people that are working at the
bus stop, and people that are working at the daycare
and stay at home moms and all of these people
would take their place as ministers of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
When society comes to crush, we would be ones.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
That are able to stay in somebody say, I'm the
minister here, And what happens if you get in your place,
and when somebody has a question at your school, at.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Your job, not they gotta come to the church. But
we are the church.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I feel this thing, and we step into their world.
Then you get some other ministers to come up in
their spot in finances, in the stock market, and when
other situations come, Ah.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
That we will be able to be the.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Ones no matter the situation, to be able to stand.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
And then we can teach our children.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
How in the midst of a pandemic, we don't lose
our faith. In the midst of being laid off. We
understand that that job was a resource. But God is
my source. He was Jehovah, Jirah, my provider all the
way back to Moses.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
He brought water out of rocks.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
And what you don't understand about this example is these
ministers that have been holding all the weight, they're actually empty.
But if ministers would take their place and be full
of the Holy Spirit, it would give people who are
empty the opportunity to stay in a place long enough

(06:52):
where they could heal and still be a part of
what God wants to do, but not be thrown off
off because they don't have enough in them. What I'm
saying to everybody that's watching me right now is God saying,
will I have to look for another or can I

(07:12):
use you to be my minister.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
At that soccer field.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
On that campus online right now, as social distancing is
taken over, could you use your text message thread not
to sext people, but to actually uh oh.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
To lift up the name of Jesus.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Could you use it not to complain and gossip, but
could you spread the gospel with it? Could I get
somebody to be my minister? Somebody said I'm the minister here.
Come on, somebody say I'm the minister here. And that's
what I want everybody to know. So I want us
to go to Ephesians chapter four, verse eleven. I'm preaching
harder than y'all was in the building. I feel this

(07:50):
thing right now. I see God doing something in somebody.
Faith is coming alive in somebody. Right now, you're realizing
that the reason God hasn't let you off that job
was because He sends you in there as a secret agent.
You are the minister at that place. The reason you're
trying to step into this other lane, and God says,
I need you right there is because if I could
get enough of my ministers spread out all in government,

(08:12):
and I could get enough of my ministers spread out
in every mountain of society, maybe a banner could be
lifted up in the Kingdom of God. We'd be expanded.
Somebody just shout at me, I'm the minister here. Look
at Ephesians four eleven. Because some of y'all like, that
doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Rev. You the minister, Bishop, you the minister.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I think that this has been a misnomer in the
body of Christ that has jacked up people's theology and
jacked up people's responsibility. Because what ends up happening is
you leave the four walls of the church and you
think that, oh, this pandemic is happening. I hope the
pastor's doing something. Oh wow, there's a crisis in the land.

(09:00):
I hope those people are praying. And God said, hold
on what, I'll let you see that post. I'll let
you come in contact with that homeless person. I'll let
you be born into that family to stand up and
be the minister there.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Ah see, some of y'all are mad, right.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Now, but I'm trying to call you to another level
of responsibility and calling. Look what Ephesians four eleven says.
It says, now, these are the gifts Christ gave to
the church. Now listen to what he gave to the church.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
He gave the.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Now watch. Their responsibility is.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
To equip God's people to do his work and build
up the church, the Body of Christ. Another translation says,
their job is to equip the saints for the work
of ministry.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
So my job as your pastor is not.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
To minister to you. It's to eat equip you to
minister to others. Did you just read it in the
word you've been thinking I'm to Oh, yes today, pastor.
Oh he just ministered to me. Hey he did a work.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
It was God.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
No, no, no, baby, You were here supposed to be
taking notes. You were here trying to you needed to
take the scriptures, I said, translate them in your mind,
and how you do it, because you've got to give
that away and minister to somebody else.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
God said, The reason I.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Gave pastors profits apostles was not to be glorified.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
It was to glorify me and equip others.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
And that's why I gotta come against this religious spirit
that tries to make pastors and profits and all these
people on this pedestal like they boobooed on stink.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Listen to me. Their greatest role is a serfeit.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
We are built and called to equip people to be
able to go out. If you're a pastor a prophet
and you're the only one can do what you're doing,
you need to move because the goal is that other
people would be able to do greater works. Even our
g said greater works. Now, if Jesus, the only man

(11:05):
that lived a sinless life, had a plan for the
ministers to do greater than him, why are you the
greatest person in your organization, ministry and church and you've
been there for twenty years. I'm gonna get hate mail
for this one, but it's the word anyhow. And some

(11:26):
of y'all are sitting there like, okay, So a pastor's job,
a teacher's job is to acquit me.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yes, you're the minister. I'm the minister's mister. Miagi.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Now, I don't know if y'all ever watched Karate Kid.
But in my heart, in my mind, when I get
up here, when I study all through the week, when
I'm trying to get a revelation, it's not because I'm
about to have to go fight.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Do y'all remember Karate Kid where Daniel's son and mister.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Miagi was there, and mister Miagi was teaching Daniel how
to wax on and wax soft, And it didn't look
like it had anything to do with the battle that
they were about to face and the opposition they were.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
About to come up against.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
But what he was trying to do is give him
reps in something that he know he would be able
to use later. And I think that's what I'm supposed
to do, is tell you, yeah, keep honoring God first
and tithing even during a pandemic, wax on and wax off,
stop gossiping when you come around your family.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I want you to keep on reading your word and
meditate on my word day and night. And I want
you to turn off Netflix and be able to get
in my presence. All I'm trying to do is teach
you the principles that when you come up against a
pandemic or you come against your Aunt Pam.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I don't know what's worse for some of y'all.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Some of y'all is a pandemic, and some of y'all
y'all scared more of your Aunt Pam. But whatever you
come up against, what God is saying is the things
that you do, and you learn from the apostles and
the prophets and the teachers, those are the very things
that are going to allow you to get in the
middle of a battle and win the war.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
No, no, I see myself as mister Miaggi.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm the minister's help and until you get in your place,
I don't have anybody to actually equip. We have a
whole bunch of people that are tuning in right now
at the tones of hundreds of thousand people. But I
wonder how many people have answered the call of a minister.

(13:24):
I wonder how many of you are still sitting there like, oh,
he's saying some good stuff. But what I'm trying to
do is push you out of your place of complacency
and let you know that in the gated neighborhood that
you live in, you're the minister there.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
And so I need you to understand this.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
My job is to equip God's people to do his
work and build the church. I like that, equip God's
people do his work and build the church.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
What's my job? What's my job?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I said, equip God's people do his work and build
his church. Come on past, some of us say, equip
God's people.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Do his work and build the church.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
So we need to break those three things down because
without understanding, you don't know what that really means. So
let's answer those questions. Who are God's people? What is
his work? And how do you build the church? Let's
start with number one, who are God's people? Look at
Romans ten nine. It says if you openly declare that
Jesus's Lord and believe in your heart that God raised

(14:27):
him from the dead, you will be saved. You just
became God's people. And some of y'all be like, that's
too easy. They need to change day life. They were
smoking yesterday. Hold up one second for just get hold up, back.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Up for one second. This is the same way that
every one of us is saved.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
If we was out club in last night, if we
was drunk or high last night, if we were lying
last night, if we were in an alternate lifestyle, sexually
last night. It doesn't matter because at the moment you
do what Romans ten nine says. God says, it's even
at the foot of the cross, and Christians and believers
try to make their be big sins and little sins,
but everybody is even. And he says, all you gotta

(15:07):
do is believe. I sit, my son. He died for you,
and he rose again, and it said you are saved.
And I know I'm fighting that religious spirit right now
that's telling people that ain't what I believe. But I
got a scripture for you too, So look at it
in Mark chapter two, verse sixteen. Because religious people who
are judgmental aren't new. That's been around. Says Jesus was
walking the earth and there was some teachers of religious

(15:29):
law who were Pharisees, and they saw him. That's Jesus
eating with tax collectors and other sinners, which all of
us are without the grace of God. And then they
went up to not even Jesus, they went up to
his disciples and they asked him, why.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Does he eat with such scum.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
I don't know why my voice just went to that
right now, but that's what it felt like. They just
booge and got high voices, and it says Jesus overheard them,
and look what he did. He said, y'all need to
know and think about your boy. I've come to call, not.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Those who think they are righteous. Woo ain't they good?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Because some of y'all right now are sitting next to
people that you would consider yourself better then. But God says,
our righteousness is like filthy rags in his presence. That's
why we need God. He said, literally, I didn't come
to call those who think they're righteous, but those who
know that they are sinners.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
This is the good.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
News for everybody that knows you've been wilding out, you
know it. And if you know that you've been far
from God and that he's calling you to another place.
And you don't want to keep living your own life
the way you've been living it, because it's not gotten
you the results that you think you.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Needed and wanted.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
He says, come to me, and all you have to
do is receive what I have done through my son
by faith. Everybody say, by faith. This is not by works.
This is It's not about how many times I do
good deeds or how many times I didn't cuss or
how many times this is by faith? Everybody say by faith.
When you receive by faith, you're God's people. So who

(17:11):
are God's people? I'm gonna give you the MLT just
real definition, real quick. Sinners who receive Jesus as their savior,
point blank period. If you are a sinner and you
have received Jesus as your savior, you're God's people. And
that is why this church exists to represent God to

(17:32):
the lost and found for one reason, transformation in Christ.
And everybody may not have the right view of this,
but I want you to see something that the found
are God's people, but just as important are the lost,
who are God's passion.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
That's why the Bible says.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
He would leave the ninety nine of the ones who
are God's people, who already been found, to go after
the one. And I don't know who you are, but
I feel like there's some ones watching right now, that there's.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Some people right now.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
You said, I've done too much, my track record is
too long, my body count is up, I can't do
certain things because of what has happened to me. And
God says I will leave God's people to come after
my passion, which is you and all I'm saying to
you is you can be a minister by the end

(18:27):
of the day, Like if you receive Jesus today, who
I feel the presence of God because somebody's wheels are
turning right now that maybe I don't have to live
my life how I've been living it. Maybe I can
be a minister and God says that is what I want.
You're my passion, no matter if your God's people are
your God's passion, You're a GP. It reminds me of

(18:47):
an old Kirk Franklin song, don't leave me hanging out here?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
GP? Are you with me? Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, we got to turch We ain't gone a GP.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Are you with me? Oh? We got to Wama time
said GP. Are you wining man? Oh? Yeah, we got
the church. We ain't going nowhere.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
What I'm saying is God's passion and God's people are
supposed to be found in God's church, and today you
can make sure that happens. Let's look at the second question,
what is his work? Because it said that the pastor's
job is to equip ministers to be able to find

(19:26):
out if they're God's people and to do his work.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
So what's his work? Matthew, chapter twenty eight, verse eighteen.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
This is Jesus talking to his disciples before he ascends
to heaven. He says, Jesus came and told his disciples
I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
So he's the man he can say this. Therefore, the
one instruction.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
That I want to give to all my ministers is
to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, the so and
the Holy spirits. Teach these new disciples to obey all
my commands that I have given you, and be sure
of this one thing. I am with you even to

(20:11):
the end of the age. Do y'all know that when
you're a minister of Jesus Christ, it doesn't matter if
it's Sars, if it's Epola, if it's COVID nineteen. When
you're a minister and you're going out and you're telling
people about the good news of Jesus Christ, he says,
I will be with you to the end of the age.
Somebody needs to get excited about that right now, because

(20:32):
you've been walking in fear, and God says, why are
you walking in fear?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
The one thing about my daughter Isabella is we've been
going through this stage where she likes to sleep in
my bed, and I need everybody to pray for me
because it's you know, it's hard. But what's ending up
happening is I found out that sometimes she gets scared
of the dark, and so she'll come into my room.
And what I used to do is I used to

(20:58):
turn all the lights on in the house all the
way back to her room because that would allow her
to be able to see where we were going. And
then I said, no, no, no, no, no, she's got to
know that she's okay. So the other night when we
were going to the room, I kept all the lights
off and she said, Daddy, I can't see. I said,
it doesn't matter that you can't see.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
And she said, Daddy, I can't see. I said, but
you feel me right here with you, don't you. And
she said, yeah, I do. And so the next night
she went to say it again, I feel the spirit
of God. He'd be talking through stuff, and she said, Daddy,
I feel you. She was about to go back to
her natural action is I can't see what's happening. I

(21:44):
don't know what's up ahead. I don't know it's dark
in this season. But instead of saying I need to
see it, she just said, I need to feel you.
I just need to know you're around. I need to
know that you're a close And what God is saying
is my work is that you would go out and
make disciples. And the thing you need to know that,
no matter what season you're in, I am with you.
Somebody said God is with me. Come on, somebody needs

(22:06):
to believe.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
That in faith, God is with me. So what is
his work? Spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
So every minister, that's anybody who's accepted Jesus as their
personal Lord and Savior has a job to do, not
the one that pays you on the first in the
fifteenth the one you were coded with with purpose before
you were in your mother's womb.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
He said, when you took that vow to be covered
by me.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
He said, you got a new responsibility as a minister
of Jesus Christ, and that's to share the good news.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
He took into a fact that you're an introvert.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
He took into the fact that you don't like public speaking.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
He took into the fact.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
That you break out in cold sweats when you have
to do something you didn't know you have to do.
And he said, and I still built you with the
ability to share the good news news that Jesus has
come to seek and saved those who are lost and hurting.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
And that is his work. So now it's our work.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Somebody just say again, I'm the minister here who I
feel this thing. But you know what, in this season
right now, the whole nation, literally the whole world is
focused on containing something, but God is focused on spreading something.
He wants his news right now where everybody's in fear
and wondering.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
He said, this is the perfect time for the principeace
to invade situations.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
This is the perfect time where people don't know where
money's coming from. That Jehovah, Jirah, your boa is wanting
to show up on the scene. The one who is
the one who goes before you. I want to be there.
But how will they know unless somebody tells them? And
so many times we're so selfish and focused on what
God is doing in our life that we won't share
the joy that we already have. I do not know

(23:57):
how people that are not walking with God are making
it through this season. Do you know how much fear
and anxiety is coming from CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, your
local television station, your Instagram feed. But as believers, we
have our hope anchored in Jesus Christ. And the thing

(24:17):
that you need to do is tell somebody else. Now
I can't believe this, but y'all, y'all may be able
to identify.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Especially some of the ladies.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
And yes, I'm a man, but I do like shopping, Okay,
So let me just put it out there. This jacket
is bad and I found it on my own as
I was shopping. The one thing I want you to
know is that anything about a real shopper, not a
stingy shopper, because some of y'all are stingy shoppers and
you find a sell but you won't tell nobody about
it because you want to be the only one to

(24:45):
wear it. Don't even look that good on you anyway, No,
I'm just playing.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm just playing. You look beautiful.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
What I'm saying to you is that when somebody's a
real shopper and you love to see people get deals,
when you find something, the first thing you do is
tell other people when you really find the fifty percent off,
the seventy percent off, the eighty percent off, you'll be
taking pictures for other people, like this ain't my size,

(25:10):
but this look cute on you, and you'll be able
to send it to somebody else. What I'm saying is,
if sales shopping is good news, why isn't the fact
that God's redeemed humanity much better news? That you don't
have to be in the place that you're in and
stay there and live there. We have good news and

(25:32):
it's our job as ministers to share that good news.
But you cannot spread what you haven't caught, and you
cannot give what you don't got, and you cannot omit
what you don't own. And that's why I'm preaching this
series because too many people think that I'm the minister.

(25:53):
The person on the platform is the minister, and you
haven't owned that you're a minister at that job, with
that with your kids, on that soccer field, on that
basketball court, you are the minister. And God is trying
to equip you to not have to be confined.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
To a building.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
He's giving you a free past to use your authority
wherever you are.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
And until you get this, we.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Don't get to be the full expression of the body
of Christ. So the last thing question we got to
answer is how do you build the church? And I
want to camp out here for just the next ten
minutes so that you can understand that I think there's
a fundamental problem of how people.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Have viewed the church.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
See, people think that the church, this building, is the
thing that God cares about. But write this point down.
The church is not an organization. The church is an organism.
The church is you hell. You get this in Ephesian

(27:03):
chapter four, and he said the pastor's job, the prophet's job,
the bishop job is to quit the ministers his people
to build the church.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
It wasn't talking about building buildings. It was talking about
building people.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
So that's why it doesn't matter if this building God
gave us never opens back up.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
The church is still expanding.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
When you look at Acts two forty two, it said
they were meeting home from home, sharing meals.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Sharing everything they had, and their.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Numbers were growing daily because they weren't building brick and mortar.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
They were building minds, bodies, and souls.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
And when I'm asking you, is if if you stop
focusing on the organization for a second, because honestly, the
organization has been a lot of our excuses. Well, that
church hurt me. Well, I ain't never doing no because
they just want my money. And we've blamed organizations, and
if we can be honest, it was one or two
organisms who really messed over you. It was some people

(28:10):
who hadn't given God full control. And on behalf of
those people who were pastors and leaders and people in
your life who you thought was the church.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
And that's why you haven't come back to church.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Because you saw somebody do it wrong and they fell
short of the glory of God. I want to apologize
because I know that has hurt you, because the only
thing that can hurt another organism is an organism, and
we've blamed it on the church, but now we can't
blame it on an organization that was a person. Would
you please not hold all of us responsible, or even
hold God responsible for what somebody did, and would you

(28:42):
allow forgiveness to flow through your heart? I feel this
thing deep down in my spirit right now. There's somebody
right now who's getting healed because you're realizing the church
wasn't this big organization who forgot about you, or isolated
you or downcast you when you had a baby out
of wedlock, or when you had the abortion.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
That wasn't the church.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
That was a person or a couple of people or
a group of people. I'm asking you let him go,
because that poison is killing you right now. And what
God wants to do is he wants to heal you.
And look at the greatest thing. He wants to make
you a minister. So you can go back to the
very people who feel like how you felt, and you
know that deep despair in that isolation, and go back
and share the good news that God took away grief

(29:24):
and he took away shame on the cross, and that
you can walk free and be his minister. Somebody needs
to thank God with me. I feel healing flowing in
this room right now. So how do we build the church?
How do we build people? I want to show you
a story where Jesus does this with one of his stiples.
Matthew chapter sixteen, verse thirteen. It says, when Jesus came

(29:47):
into the region of Cesarea and Philippi, I feel this thing.
He asked his disciples, saying, Hey, I got a question
for everybody y'all come around here.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Who do men say that I am? What are the
people saying in the streets.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I think some people are saying, oh, that you John
a Baptist, and then another one says, ah, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
What, Jesus, some people saying you Elijah.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
I don't know why everybody's fill getto right now, and
others are being like, no, sir, everybody's saying you're Jeremiah,
You're the prophet.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
And then Jesus switches it up on everybody.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
And I think this is the question that COVID nineteen
is making everybody have to answer right now. And then
Jesus said, but who do you say I am?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah? I know what the government is saying, and they're
saying we can be in this.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
You've heard everywhere from eighteen months to three months to
two weeks and all this other stuff. Yeah, and I
know what you say that they can do for you,
and what a vaccine could do for you, and what
these people could do for you and help and aid
and all this stuff. But who do you say I
am right now in the midst of this, what are
you saying? Because it really doesn't matter what everybody else
is saying. It matters what you believe and what you're

(30:52):
standing on right now. And he asked them, who do
you say that I am? And look at one disciple
who could have been quiet and shrunk back in the
background like many believers do when they're in a group
or an organization, but he stepped forth as an organism.
Look what he said, Simon Peter, He answered and said,
you're the christ son of a living God. And it

(31:17):
hit me right here, because if you are going to
be the minister, you have to be write this down,
be open. See there's many people in this room that
are not open to God making you a minister.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Like in the crowd, you would or rather stay back.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
But for him to answer as an organization or not
an organization, but as an organism, he had to step
forward and be open to give an answer.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
And it hit me right now that some.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Of you are so set in your careers, some of
you are so set in your plans, that God is
asking you, I want to make you a minister to
go into places that people have not even been able
to go in and represent me right or represent me right.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
And he said, but are you even open to it?

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Are you open to going into crafts and arts and
be my minister. There are you open to going into
the music industry and being my minister? There are you
open to going into the judicial system and be my minister?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
There?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I feel this thing because somebody's faith is why are
you even open to stepping from amongst the crowd or
are the people who are in the organization of Christians
and believers? And would you step forward and be open
to me doing something through you? And Simon was open.
Somebody say I'm open. No, say it again, I'm open,

(32:42):
because if you are going to be a minister, you
have to be open. And this response throws Jesus off.
Look what it says, and it says Simon. Peter answered
said you are the Christ, the son of the Living God,
Verse seventeen. Jesus answers said, you say.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
What hold on? Blessed? Are you? Boy? You bless Simon Barjonah?
Look at the name he called them.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
For flesh and blood or your experience or you just
being here right now hasn't revealed this to you. But
it was my Father who is in heaven, who divinely
inspired you because you were open. What I'm trying to
tell you is all throughout history, God.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Is just looking not for people who are perfect. He's
looking for people who are open. He's not looking for people.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Of an extraordinarily an extraordinary ability. He's looking for people
of availability. It goes back to Moses when Moses had
speaking problem and he said, I can't talk for you.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
And God said, if.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
You open your mouth, if you're open to me using you,
I'll feel your mouth and you'll be my minister at
the highest level of government. And this is why. If
if you're open and you step from around the organization
and you say, God, you can use me, if you
can use anything, Lord, you can use me, then God

(34:10):
will start revealing stuff to you that your education couldn't
teach you, that your pedigree couldn't teach you. Do y'all know,
I'm a pastor with six months of high quality Tulsa
Community College education.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
The revelation that I get is not because of something
that man gave me.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
It was because I was open when God visited me
in a Hampton end in Baton Rouge, Louisianah at four
a m and God called me into ministry and I
was open to it, and he said, as long as
you're open, I will reveal what I need you to do.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
When you get there.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
I need somebody to be excited, because God saying, if
you'll be open to be my original, to be my minister,
he said, then I'm gonna do something for you.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
So write this down.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
If you're going to be the minister, you have to
hear from the originator. And too many people are not
doing what this disciple did. He was open, but then
he only said what God told him to say. Jesus
says it, My Father in Heaven revealed this to you.
And too many people are self proclaimed ministers not hearing

(35:24):
from God.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Just because you got a Facebook camera don't mean that
let me stop.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
The truth is that I would be not being effective
if I walked up here and said my opinion. The
reason that I'm effective is because I spend time with God,
and I hear from the Originator, and I hear from God.
That's why, in this time where many of you have
more time than you've ever had, it's so important that

(35:54):
you start your day in the word of God so.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
You can increase your faith.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God,
but faith increases by whatever.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
You focus on.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
So if you focus on the fear, it's only gonna
enhance your faith in fear. But if you focus on
the promises of God, it's gonna enhance your faith. And
that's why I'm asking everybody, even in this time of Corona,
we are praying every single day at noon, and I
want to thank you because tens of thousands of you
have been joining us all every day that we've done it.

(36:24):
But we gonna keep going until we see a miracle,
because we need to hear from God. And if you're
gonna be his minister, you gotta hear from the originator.
Look what it says in verse eighteen, and he says,
and also I say to you, watch this, he switches
up his name.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
You're Peter. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, that's who
you are. No Peter.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
No. I know they've been calling you Simon, Barjona, but
I'm switching your name or I'm calling you something different,
and Peter means Petra or the rock, and on you,
I'm gonna build my church. This hit me because up
until this point he had been called one thing, but

(37:11):
when he got open heard from the Originator, his name changed.
And what God says is, can I call you something
different and you own your calling. See right now, you've
been successful in business, But what if God wants to
change your name right now?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Would you own it?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
And that's what I want to give you as the
third point right here. If you're going to be the minister,
you have to own your calling. So many of you
are going back and forth and vacillating. But what would
my family think if I really start doing this? And
what would my friends say? You might lose them. You
might actually have to leave people to become something and

(37:56):
then come back and get them. Some of y'all are
so worried going to where God has called you to
be with all of the homies that being with you.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
There's some time where you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Have to step out and be open to what God
wants to do and him changing your name, and you
get a word from him and you walk and you
own it. I think about it in my own life, man,
when God called me, and I had been in the
music industry and I was doing stuff there. That's what
I thought my identity was in. When I started working

(38:28):
in ministry, I didn't want all the religious stigma and
I started doing youth ministry and they.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Was like are you our youth pastor? Are you pastor Mike?

Speaker 2 (38:35):
And I felt the little tinge of like sarcasm they
were saying with it, and so out of my need
to really want to be you know what I'm saying, relatable,
I was like, no, no, no, don't call me pastor Mike.
Call me big brother Mike. So the whole time I
was a youth pastor, everybody called me big brother Mike. Well,
many of you know my story that eventually I became
the executive pastor of our church, and then I became

(38:55):
the lead pastor. And when I became the lead pastor
and God called me to lead church. Not that I
wanted to just do something He called me to do it,
I didn't accept or own the calling, And so there
would be people that would be coming around and be
like big brother Mike, Big brother Mike, Big brother Mike,
And God said, you better stop answering to that, because

(39:16):
that's not what I called you.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I called you pastor Mike.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
And not that I needed somebody to validate and call
me pastor Mike. That wasn't the thing. I hadn't owned it.
You can call me Michael, but I still would own
my calling and I was allowing the title to keep
me away from owning my calling. And God says, if
you don't own it, I'm gonna find somebody else.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
And I don't know who I'm talking.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
To right now, but there are things that God has
been trying to give you, and there's spaces that he's
trying to call you the minister in.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
But you're saying, I don't really do that, and I
don't want to be known for that, and I don't
want to do that.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
And God said, I factored in all of your falls,
all of your corks, all of your nuances, and I
still called you my minister.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
You better own the call.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
And I'm just making a decision right now. And I
believe that I'm speaking faith into somebody who God's already
given a vision, that He's already given you a dream.
He's already told you to write it down. And you've
been shining back because of what others thought. And God
has changed your name. He called Simon something different, he
said Peter, and he had to answer to the call.

(40:23):
I think about it like this that when I was young.
My mom's in the room right now, praying me through
right now.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I love you, baby, girl.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
And what's happening right now is that God. I feel
his spirit translating through this screen right now.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
I feel this thing so strong.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
When I was young, my mom made a nickname up
for me call and she called me Mookie.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Ha ha ha ha ha okay.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
But but the crazy thing about it is all in
my life because she was the one who gave me
the name, because she called it to me first. When
she called me that name, I would answer. But if
anybody else called me that name, like my brothers would
always try to make fun of you, like Mugi moogi
all that other stuff when they call me, I didn't respond.

(41:07):
And one of the things that God was telling me
even in this he said, I'm calling you something different,
But it doesn't matter about what I call you as
much as it matters what you respond to. So some
of you have been responding. Even if they're calling you
out of your name, calling you not what God called you,
you're still responding to it. So they can keep calling

(41:29):
you that and you keep walking in that thing until
you stop responding to it. Some of you have been responding,
and anger calls out to you and you answer, and
God says you need to stop answering to anger, and
you need to start answering to anoint it. When you
hear that name, that's what you need to respond to.
Some of you right now have been answering to mad,
but you need to answer to masterpiece. Some of you

(41:51):
have been answering to who, but God wants you to
know that you're holy.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
You need to answer to the right thing.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
And some of you have been settling below what God
has been calling you. You've been answering to average, and
God wants you to know you're accepted. That's why my
favorite part of this scripture tells us how we're supposed
to live once we own it, once we once we're open,
and if we're gonna be His minister, that we hear

(42:21):
from the originator. And because we're gonna be the minister,
somebody say I'm the minister here.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Come on, just say I'm the minister here.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
When you get open, when you hear from the originator,
when you're one of those who says I'm gonna own
my calling, then you start living offensive.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Go with me.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
If you are going to be the minister, you have
to live offensive. Look at the next part of the verse.
It says, and also I say to you that you
are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.
Then he makes this bold statement, and the gate of
Hades or the gates of Hell, shall not prevail against it.

(43:07):
I've always had this scripture messed up because what has happened.
I got a gate here that represents a gate of Hell.
And what I thought is that the church was inside
of a gate being protected, and that all the forces

(43:27):
of the enemy is coming at you, but nothing can
touch you because you're protected in the gates.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
So the gates of Hell won't prevail.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
But I figured that I just couldn't read and I
didn't understand it because it says the gates of Hell.
That means Hell is the thing that has set up
protection around certain things. Hell has set up gates around
the entertainment industry. Hell has tried to set up gates

(43:57):
around the education system. Hell has tried to set up
gates around your family and keep y'all in generational cycles.
Hell has tried to set up gates and music and
keep people in cycle. And it said the reason that
the Hell has gates is because it doesn't want God's ministers.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
To get in.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Because if God's ministers would ever penetrate the gates of Hell.
We could go in and have authority to make a difference.
And what has happened is because you haven't owned that
you're the actual minister. You haven't lived offensive, you've lived defense.
So you're just trying to make sure the enemy doesn't

(44:39):
play me and make sure my kids are okay. And
God says, I invented you to score. I invented you
to go into Hell and be able to get all
of the things that have been locked up, movies and
entertainment and government.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
The enemy thought he.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Had a gate set around it, but I'm about to
release ministers in the midst of everything that Hell has
set up against a gate around and it says, and
the gates of Hell will not be able to prevail.
The only reason it's working is because we haven't gone
up and tried to go in.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Who's the minister here?

Speaker 2 (45:18):
You and you're already in place, but you're not living
offensive enough. And so when somebody wants to tell you
you can't pray here, you back up off of it.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
When they tell you.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
You can't have a Bible study here, you back up
off of it. And God says, I am waiting for
somebody to get the keys that are already stole from
the enemy. Do you remember that the three days when
he was crucified.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
I feel that I'm about to preach. I need an
organ right now.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
The three days when he was up there, it says
that he wasn't just sitting there. It said that he
went down to the place of Hades, and he stole
the keys.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Of death, hell and the grave, and he gave all
of us.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Watch this. I just need you to see it, Matthew.
Chapter eleven, verse twelve. It's telling us that we gotta
live offensively, it says. And since John the Baptists begin
preaching until now, everybody say, until now, right now, this
day that you're watching this, until now, the Kingdom of
Heaven has been forcefully advanced, and.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Violent people are attacking hill'sgates.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
I'm tired of punk Christians who are not answering the
call of being a minister.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Where you are right now, God says, I.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Don't have to move no pastor into entertainment because you're there.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
I don't have to get.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Somebody in the financial institution because a minister's already there.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
But you gotta own it and live offensive. What are
you talking about? Well, then, how do I have the keys?
Matthew Chapter sixteen, Birth nineteen.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
I love it, he says, and I will give you
the keys to the kingdom.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
And whatever you bind.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
On earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. I'm ready
for an army of ministers after this message to take
the authority and the keys he already snatched from every

(47:36):
demon and devil, and he gives.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Them to us.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
So from now on, in the name of Jesus, when
we go into our jobs, when we go into social media,
when we go into education, it tells us that the
gates that are set up around it, that we have
the key.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
We don't even gotta fight for it.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
All we gotta decide to do is take our authority
and take it off. And everything that the enemy thought
he could use is no longer a place. And we
can go in to every area in the entertainment. We
can go it, and we can move it. Oh, we
can take it by force. We can invite other believers

(48:19):
into it. I can say, listen, government is open. Is
there any ministers who want to come and be a
part of what God, Hey, every soccer mom, you can
start that.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Ministry right here.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Get other believers in entertainment, in government, in our homes.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
I know that there are ministers, but until we live offensive.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Come on, I need some more believers up here, because
this is what's supposed to be the body of Christ.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
The picture.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Is that when we walk in this ain't the church
no more. This ain't the church no more. Y'all stand
right there now. I want you in the midst of education,
in the midst of the entertainment and arts industry, in
the minstry.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
I want y'all to.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Start praying right now. Get in a circle and start
praying right now. That's what happens when ministers take their place.
That then they're open God, feel the presence of God.
And when they're open, if they get in a place together,
the Bible says, where there are two or three ministers
gathered in my name, he said, I'm in the midst
and they get into education, and they get into the

(49:31):
entertainment system.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
It says, the.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Gates of hell can't keep us out. If we would
own being the ministers, and today, if you would take
the keys that God has given you a walk in
that authority. Whatever you bind, whatever you lose, has to happen.
My last point, thank you guys. If you're gonna be

(49:55):
the minister, you have to be ordained. And all the
word ordained means is be officially given authority to minister
today at your home. This is not a church service,
This is an ordination. This as you have understood what

(50:21):
God is saying in your life. I want you to
know the title of my message and the charge of
your life. You are officially ordained today. You're the minister today.
God doesn't have to look for another because I'm gonna
be open.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
I'm gonna hear from the originator.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
I'm gonna own my calling, and i am going to
claim my ordination, and I'm gonna minister to others. We're
not looking for nobody else. God's not searching for anybody.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Else because He puts you there.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
And today we stop chasing things that are distracting.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Us from our calling.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
He called us to be his ministers, to spread the gospel,
to let people know that He loves them and he
lives and he can help them right now. And you
are officially or dang, you don't need a collar for this.
You don't need a platform for this. You don't need
a building for this. All you need to know is
as you step up and be open, God will fill

(51:29):
your mouth. He'll show you what to do, He'll show
you where to give, He'll show you.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
How to love.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
And today, if I'm a man of God, I'm telling
you that a revival is about to break out. Not
because it's happening in a building. I feel this sting
so strong. It's gonna happen because ministers are in every
gate that the enemy thought he had lots, and we're
those sands, and the gates of Hell will not free

(51:56):
fail against him. Somebody give God out of place in
this building. Hallejujah.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
It's our work now. It's not my work alone.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
When I'm on this platform, yes, i'm your mister me Hockey.
But when I come off this platform, I'm just a
child of God who's a minister too. So I gotta
go and share the godspel. I gotta teach my kids
how to love God. And I decided, as for me
and my house, we're gonna serve the Lord pass. I

(52:37):
don't know how I'm gonna be able to do that. Listen,
Matthew twenty eight eighteen, he told them, I've given you
all authority in heaven and earth. Therefore go make disciples
of all nations. Do y'all know with this pandemic happening
and all of the gods of the world being shut
down like sports movie theaters, like think about all the

(52:58):
other gods, government finds, answers, everything's been shut down. He's saying,
this is the perfect opportunity for you to go and
make disciples of all nations. And right now, as I
record this message and I speak it life to people watching,
and some are watching rebroadcasts, and some are watching right
now in their cars. It's in every nation, and I'm

(53:22):
telling you you're the minister in that nation. He said,
Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey
all the commands I have given you.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
And be sure of this. This is the thing I
want to end with. Be sure of it.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
I am with you always during coronavirus, always during the
economic collapse, always during the great depression, always during slavery, always.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Even to the end of the age.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
If you're going to be the minister alone, it's never
an option. God saying I need you to answer this call,
and I promise you you'll never walk alone. That's why
it says, even if I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death. That's how Belah was when we
were going down the hallway. She thought it was a

(54:13):
place of scary and darkness. He said, I don't have
to fear because you are with me. And that's all
I want to tell you is God is with you.
He's with you in the midst of your heart. He's
with you in the midst of your pain. He's with
you in the midst of the uncertainty.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
He's with you.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Because he's not with the church the organization. He's with
the church the organism. And I need you to declare
by faith. Somebody asks you, and when you look around,
you're trying to figure out who's the minister here, who
needs to pray? Who needs to do something? Who's the
minister here? You'll be able to step forward boldly and

(54:54):
say I'm the minister here. Somebody just say it in faith,
say I'm the minister here. Come on one more time,
say I'm the minister here. And I believe that the
greatest revival the church has ever seen is on the
brink of erupting, because we will not be lulled to
sleep anymore thinking it's somebody else's job. Do y'all see

(55:17):
this whole time I've been preaching, this thing has been
standing up because it wasn't one or two ministers in place.
It was multiple ministers doing what God has called all
of us to do. And the weight of the world

(55:37):
could be on our shoulders. But if all of us
are in our spot, nothing can stop us. I want
to pray for you right now because some of you
have just answered the call God has changed your name.
Hands lifted all over this place, in your living room,
right now, in your car, some of y'all are on
the beach.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Lift your hands right now.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that your
Holy Spirit is transmitting through every device, and it is
bringing people into the saving knowledge of who you are.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Father.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
I thank you that they're answering the call to be
a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I come
against the lies that have tried to disqualify people.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
I come against the pain that has tried to paralyze people.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
I come against, Father God, even the frustration that has
tried to frazzle people. And I speak life and faith
into every minister right now, in the name of Jesus,
I declare and I decree that we will be open
to you, Father God, that we will hear from the
originator God, that we will own our calling, that we

(56:37):
answer and except that we are ordained and we will
never walk alone. Today I declare that something is rising
in the earth, and the enemy has made a mistake,
because this is the Church and we are built for this,
and the gates of hell will not prevailed.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
We trust you, we believe you, and we thank you
in Jesus.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
If you agree with that, say amen, and give God
the biggest Oh.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Come on, give him the biggest shout of brave you have.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Some of you right now are watching this, and you
need to do the first thing. You've been God's passion
far from him.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
But today you.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
You heard God calling you, whispering you, compelling you, and
I just want to share good news with you that
you can become God's people right now.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
I was in the same boat as you.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
I was a liar, a manipulator, I was addicted to pornography,
had all kinds of things going on in my heart.
That were bad, and all I did was what Romans
ten nine said, is I believed, and I confess that
Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose again just for me,
and that day I was save. The Bible says, behold,
when you make that declaration, the oldest passed away, and

(57:58):
I'm making everything new. If you're in this moment you
want to make the greatest decision of your life by
becoming or switching your position from God's passion to now
God's people. I want you to pray this prayer with me,
and you don't have the confess your sentence to everybody.
God's saying, as I hear you when I see you
right now, and at Transformation Church and in Transformation Nation

(58:20):
were one big family.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Nobody prays alone.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
So everybody that's watching right now and it's gonna pray
this prayer with you.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
But I want you to mean it from your heart.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Because today your life is changing and you're gonna answer
the call of God on your life. Everybody, just lift
your hands and say God, thank you for being my Lord.
Thank you for living and dying and coming alive again
just for me. Today I receive salvation. The Oldest passing away.

(58:51):
And everything's becoming new. Change me, renew me, transform me.
I'm yours in Jesus' name. Amen, Hey, can we put
our hands together all over the world and thank God
for the hundreds, if now thousands of people that are

(59:11):
just come into the family.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
You're God's people and we love you.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Thank you so much for watching Transformation Churches YouTube. And
I just want you to take another step. If this
is feeding, you, join Transformation Nation. Thus, everybody that doesn't
live here in Tulsa watching live with us on Sunday mornings,
gather your family. Let's make this thing an every week situation,
and please share, share if it has impacted your life.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
There is somebody that is waiting for you to.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Share this with them, and Transformation is only a click away.

lost and found people for one reason, Transformation in Christ.

But I cannot wait to see you the next time
we're here. Lived a transformed life
