ready for the word tonight all right got
your notepads because we are in part two
of a series that we are calling help me
crazy
now you gotta say it like you mean it’s
a crazy faith oh I’m gonna like this
service tonight we have been talking
about what it looks like to not just
live at a place of mediocre Christianity
but what it looks like to actually live
out the life that God called us to live
a faith at our church when we started we
wrote down these 12 things that we
called our culture culture code and one
of those things was faith we would be a
church that has faith and this was the
statement when we wrote down we said we
have faith in God faith in people and
faith for miracles somebody say that we
have faith in God faith in people and
faithful miracles just one more time we
have faith in God faith in people and
faith for miracles what I’m believing is
through this series that that that would
grow in every single person in this room
that your faith in God would become so
planted that when waves of life and
issues come you don’t move that your
faith in people would be so optimistic
and hopeful that even though they
crossed you two times before that maybe
this is the time that God did a work in
them and on them and some of y’all like
our Nami Pastor Mike because if you
cross me once
shame on me cross me twice shame on you
like like like we think that we’re about
to do this and it’s not no no no God
says how many times are you supposed to
forgive seventy times seven a day
some of y’all thought it was seventy
times seven for a lifetime and it
according to my calculations I only have
16 people left forgive like it’s 70
times 7 everybody say a day yeah and so
you got to extend that same thing and
have faith in people and then this last
thing we’re gonna have faith for
miracles I don’t believe God’s greatest
miracles we’re done in the Bible days I
believe that what my Bible says is that
greater works it’s like like like he
healed the blind he cast out demons he
he pulled taxes out of a fish’s mouth he
did all of these different things and
then he looks at us and says guess what
you’re gonna do greater works see but I
can tell in the room you don’t believe
it
because we have really not sold out to
this idea of having crazy faith but I
wanted last week to be like the climax
of the series like and we shouted and we
jumped it we had news reporters and all
that other stuff now I’m gonna walk you
back as a pastor and a teacher today
and let you understand that you don’t
just get to a point of crazy faith crazy
faith is not not where you start at you
start at the title of my message today
write it down baby faith see crazy faith
is a result of you exercising baby faith
and most people don’t want to do
anything on a small scale like but there
is power in small faith I’ll prove it to
you there was a story in Matthew chapter
17 where the disciples were sent out
with authority to be able to heal sick
and cast out demons so they thought they
was doing it and they going around
touching people people are getting
healed
and his father brings his son and his
son literally says my son is
demon-possessed can you pray for him the
disciples like we’ve done this before
let’s get this baby healed and they walk
up and they lay hands on him and nothing
happens and the father like many of us
when you’re working with somebody and
they don’t know what they doing he said
come please see your manager
y’all know when the person that you’re
working with can help you you ask for
the manager of the boss and they bring
him to Jesus and Jesus touches the young
man and he’s healed instantly and they
walk away to the back and and and the
disciples like Jesus why didn’t it work
when we tried to touch him and look at
his response he said you have such
little faith now these are people who
have walked with Jesus who have seen him
do miracles who like not and invisible
Jesus like the actual like Jesus where
you’re scaring so soft today like Jesus
right there with them and he said y’all
have such little faith he said I’ll tell
you the truth if you would have had the
faith like a mom like something small
now I want you to see have a mustard
seed here this is all the faith you need
to get everything that God’s purpose in
your life to get done this is it well
how do you know that Pastor Mike because
Jesus goes on with his analogy he said
if you would have had the faith of the
mustard seed you could have could uh you
could have told and he looked for the
largest thing in the vicinity and he saw
a mountain he said you could speak to
that mountain and tell it to be thrown
into the sea and it would have to obey
you if you had baby faith and I’m trying
to tell somebody in this room tonight
that what you need is not as much as you
think you do to see the miracle that you
want to see cuz I know all of us want
that Moses parting the Red Sea faith we
want we want
faith we think if only is valid in it’s
only God when it’s an impossible
situation and the armies behind us and
there’s a sea in front of us and we hold
up the staff and then the Seas part and
we see Nemo and Shamu floating past us
and that was God and God was like yeah
that’s crazy faith but all crazy faith
starts with baby thing and many of us
have stopped believing God this thing is
so small that most of y’all think I’m
just holding my my fingers together and
it’s so small that I can throw it at you
I just through tons of faith out there
and it was so small that people looking
at me couldn’t even recognize it but God
says it doesn’t matter if nobody else
can recognize it I can see baby faith I
can see what nobody else can see I can
see when you wrote down the vision and
made it play I can see when you went to
the bank account and open it up with
fifty cents in it and said one day this
will be an account that will be made
just for blessing people I can tell
y’all don’t want to talk to me today I
can see baby faith and he said I don’t
need crazy faith first cuz faith is a
muscle and most of us have not worked
the muscle of faith it would be the
equivalent of me being like I’m about to
hit the gym today for the first time in
six months about to kill this mother put
300 on the rat three you heard me full
three honey I don’t know why you got to
get like gangster and thugs when you
about to were you about to lift weights
and it it wouldn’t matter how much I
tried these muscles right here you see
I’m flexing got my hands these muscles
right here would never be able to lift
that type of weight because I have not
been conditioned for it
it’s not that I could never lift it it’s
just that I would have to spend time
working that muscle to be able to lift
that type of weight there are many
believers even after last week’s message
that have gone out maybe like about
crazy faith but you’re about to lift
something you’ve not been conditioned
for you’re about to try to get something
in your life that you’ve never believed
ever before God’s saying you want me to
do this but you won’t even believe when
you have a cold that I could heal you I
don’t there’s nothing wrong with
medicine but you go to the sudafed and
the Tylenol PM and everything else and
won’t even pray about it when you know
the cross around your neck represents
crucifixion it’s not just a chain it’s
it’s when Jesus went to the cross and
died for all of our infirmities and our
sins and he said by His stripes we were
no nonot are were healed that means you
have healing available if to 39 stripes
for your healing but you will not even
believe him or have the faith that it
works so you will go to your medicine
cabinet and not even pray about the
common cold but I believe God do you
really and I’m not coming after you I’m
trying to challenge you that we could
see mountains move with this much faith
so maybe the goal for us as a church is
not to start off with crazy faith maybe
the goal is we need to ask God for the
ability to consistently live in what
baby because if we could ever live in
baby faith we would be able to see God
move mountains that nobody has been able
to move in our family addictions that
have been a part of our line for years
would be eradicated hate that has filled
our mouths for years and gossip and it
could be eradicated if we had the faith
the size of
mustardseed now you know that didn’t hit
you he dug to like Hitler the crazy
thing about it is the crazy thing about
what I’m saying to you today as most of
the faith we have God is in our head and
we think God could maybe do something
but in this series what I want the faith
that you have is to move from your head
to your heart and move from your heart
to your hands I don’t want you to live a
life not seeing what God has promised
believers and so I need you to know that
we’re gonna start this thing at
everybody say baby faith now let me
remind you what crazy faith is crazy
face your thoughts and actions that lack
reason but trusting fully in which you
cannot explicitly prove and that’s why I
told you last week faith is not a
foundation faith is the foundation if
you don’t have faith you can’t do
nothing if you don’t have faith you
can’t be saved according to John 3:16 if
you don’t have faith you can’t pray all
you do is wish but when when you when
you have faith you stand believing that
the Father in Heaven is hearing you and
he’s answering and working on the
affairs of his children but you have to
have faith and so when I look at this I
said okay God you gotta show me how to
teach your people how to walk in baby
faith and he said I had to teach my
disciples to look at the next chapter of
Matthew Matthew chapter 18 and we’re
gonna start in verse 1 God just had that
whole situation where he proved to the
disciples that he was who he said he was
and he’s like you gotta have faith the
size of a mustard seed then the
disciples start talking crazy amongst
themselves it says about that time the
disciples came to Jesus and asked a dumb
question who is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven like why do you even
need to know that but many times when
we’re insecure in our spot in God we’re
always trying to compare ourselves with
other people we do not have faith that
God has a plan for our life we’re always
trying to get God to show us that we’re
better than somebody else and this goes
all the way back to the people who
walked with Jesus so don’t think that
it’s strange when it’s happening in your
life okay
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven
and Jesus said come here little Ricky
come here and he called the baby a child
the scripture says he said come sit
right here with me
he said um I tell you the truth unless
you turn from your sins for one
instruction repent and become like
little children unless you get more like
babies like like unless you come up off
of your high horse and humble yourself
he said you will never not just be the
greatest in it you won’t even get into
the kingdom of heaven
so anyone who becomes as humble as this
little child as this baby is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven and
anyone who welcomes a little child like
this on my behalf
is welcoming me but if you cause one of
these little ones you’re about to get
the key this is what makes this is what
Jesus is qualifying this child as a
child oh babe he said it’s a child
because if you do this to one of those
who trust in me like the thing about
children is they trust adults like what
makes a child a child if they don’t
worry about certain stuff that adults
worry about
they just trust like my daughter she
comes up to me every Sunday cause she
know it’s a time where daddy’s just glad
that service weren’t good or something
and every Sunday after church she says
daddy this Bella you did so good said
Thank You Bella I said what’s up can I
get a slushie after we leave here
and I say yeah baby we can get a slushie
after we leave Church at that moment
I’ll tell her she can get a slushie she
does not think about it again unless she
has to remind me that I said what makes
her a child she didn’t ask have you paid
all the bills dead she didn’t ask did
the finances line up with the budget
this week she didn’t ask do we have gas
in the car she didn’t ask did you and
mommy discuss this first when she heard
her father say it she completely trusted
it and God is saying that to many of his
children have become so mature that they
have stopped trusting his word and he
said and if you want to be the greatest
in the kingdom you’re going to have to
have faith like a little child that
trusts when God says you’re gonna be
healed it’s not like what would it what
happened if it I’m gonna trust what my
father say I’m gonna trust my family’s
gonna be reconciled I’m gonna trust that
my child who keeps crossing me all this
money and disappointing me because
they’re doing everything against what we
taught them I’m gonna trust that somehow
God you’re gonna carry their heart back
to you I’m going to trust you the
problem is most of us don’t have faith
like that we we we hope God will do it
but we don’t believe he will and I’m
praying that through this series that
you will begin to believe like these
disciples didn’t believe at this time
that if the way that you’re going to
walk in crazy faith is having baby faith
the ability to just trust God at His
Word the ability to say God if you said
it if you told me you were gonna protect
me if you told me you were gonna turn
all these situations around if you told
me you would acquit me for everything
you called me to if you told me that
before I was formed in my mother’s womb
you lose
and you had a plan for me a plan to
prosper me and not to harm me a plan to
give me a hope in the future I’m gonna
take you at your word I trust you God
and I put my faith on it but I can tell
by how you’ve planned your whole life
without him
that you don’t really trust him because
because all of us have areas in our life
that we’re mad at God because he didn’t
line up with our timetable come on cuz
if God was really listening I’d be
married by now because if God was really
about his business but my children’s
college would be paid for I’d have a
little money in the 401k and God says if
you plan me out of your life you cannot
be dependent on me and the only way you
can have faith is to bring it down to a
place of dependency trust my babies
don’t get up and ask where their next
meal is coming from
they trust the provider in the house
that when they wake up every morning
everything they need will be there
my daughter has never asked daddy are
the lights coming on tomorrow because
she’s not even worried about those
things cuz she is trusting she has faith
in her father and my question to you is
do you have faith in your father and I
need to be very sensitive in this moment
as we talk about this because in in
Psychological terms they tell us that a
lot of us have association habits and
tendencies where if we were hurt or
damaged by somebody that was supposed to
be a father figure or a parental figure
in our life then we usually associate
that when we start to talk about God and
it’s very hard to have faith in
something that you can’t believe in and
and and so so like if you had a deadbeat
father an absentee mother and they said
I’m gonna come pick you up this Saturday
and they don’t show up and they’re like
well maybe they were busy and then you
wait next Saturday and they’re like well
maybe they were really busy
and then and then you come the next week
and they don’t show up and then you
start feeling like maybe they don’t want
to come and they don’t show up the next
time you’re like they’re never coming
and then they show up at your 18th
birthday or your graduation from high
school and be like that’s my baby look
at you look just like your daddy like
like cuz you’re like you haven’t been
here any of the time and what happens is
you don’t they say well I want to take
you out for lunch today and you don’t
put any faith in it because they
disappointed you time and time again and
then you find Christ somewhere along the
way and they tell you he’s a heavenly
father and that you can trust him and
he’s a good good father but what happens
is you can’t get past the faith that
you’ve seen in real life and so you
associate what people have done with you
and you put it on God and so when it
comes to being dependent or trusting or
having faith it’s very hard to do
because you’ve never seen it in real
life and all I’m asking you on behalf of
God is could you take him off of the
standard of humans could could you
please release what they did to you
and give God an opportunity to be Abba
the father who will never disappoint you
the father who will be there in the
midst of a trial cuz that’s the only way
you can truly trust you can’t have faith
in something that you don’t believe in
and I ain’t even talking about crazy
faith I’m talking about baby thing and
today I believe God’s changing some of
the ideas that we’ve had and you’re
gonna be able to walk in this so how do
I do that Pastor Mike well let me just
give you a couple of points to so you
can walk away with something today as we
start this series number one faith in
God comes first like like like a lot of
us have faith in a lot of things but I
need to tell you if you’re gonna really
walk in baby faith that turns into crazy
faith you need to realize that faith in
God comes first you have to believe that
it’s God’s will for you to be healed
delivered to prosper to live a life that
is abundant like because if you don’t
believe it you won’t expect it and if
you don’t expect it you will
hope for it and if you don’t hope for it
you have now taken the fuel of faith
because remember what faith is according
to Hebrews 11:1 faith is the confidence
in things that we hopeful and so what
happens is most of us have stopped
hoping therefore we stop expecting
therefore when we stop expecting we stop
believing and then we don’t believe so
we don’t have faith in what ends up
happening is God’s got a bunch of Hollow
Christians who come to church and don’t
have the one thing that pleases him you
all know what the Bible says it says
it’s impossible to please God without
faith not because he’s trying to give
you an identity complex because when you
accept Jesus into your life and you give
him your whole life he says you’re your
identity is secure you’re a son you’re a
daughter he said but it doesn’t please
me because what pleases me is my will
being done on the earth through your
life and when you don’t have faith I
can’t do what I plan for you in the
earth and so a lot of people are going
to heaven but living in hell a lot of
people your eternity is secure because
you had faith enough to believe for
salvation but you do not have faith
enough to walk in purpose cuz you don’t
trust that God will hold you up I’m
teaching a whole bunch right now and I’m
just like I’m trying to hope it gets
into your soul right now that that is
the reason we have to start at baby
faith that you have to start believing
that God has good things for me that
when I read the word that applies to my
life even if it didn’t apply to anybody
else and I don’t see the results of it
there’s something different about me and
when you start to believe that you put
faith in God first let me tell you
another story that happen in Matthew
chapter 11 verse 22 Jesus is walking
with the disciples and Jesus is hungry
and I like that just it makes me feel
good that all my problems in this
midsection maybe Jesus had a belly and
gonna be hungry anyway but Jesus was
hungry one day and it was walking past
the fig tree he’s like I’ll bet I’m
about to give me some fake news right
here
and he went and he was like funnel the
thing that’s supposed to be producing
fruit is no longer producing fruit this
isn’t how I created it
you’ll never produce fruit again shrivel
up and die and didn’t break stride he
just kept walking like a gangster into
the city the disciples like wow that’s
interesting John did you see that
Peter Wow woof but they didn’t see it
shrivel up and die at that moment but
they heard because God is Jesus and
Jesus is faith he spoke to something do
you know how the world was created it
said by faith the worlds were formed
like it was by faith he spoke it into
existence
so now Jesus is here and he tells
something shrivel up and die and the
disciples like okay Jesus tell us stuff
the shrivel up and die they come back
the next day and Jesus walked past the
same fig trees like yeah and then and
then Peter sees it and it’s like yo
Jesus now I don’t know if you know you
did this Jesus but yesterday when we
walk by you was a little dizzy I think
you were you you’re not yourself when
you don’t eat I think Snickers made a
commercial you were hangry and you spoke
to it it’s dead I believe Jesus gave him
the look that he gives us many times
when we’re surprised when he does what
he says like I don’t know in my mind
like sometimes like God you did it
anyway
and look what he said to him in verse 22
he said have faith in God like like like
that’s why I said faith in God comes
first
he was like y’all ain’t got no faith in
me y’all walked with me
you’ve seen me meet your needs you’ve
seen my grace pour over your life you’ve
seen me save us time and time again like
many people in this room you’ve seen me
let you into doors you aren’t supposed
to get in
you’ve seen me keep your mind when your
family was crazy you saw me make a way
out of no way have faith in God and I
feel like he got a little perturbed
because like like he said I tell you the
truth and back in Bible days like that’s
like can’t believe y’all I tell you the
truth I can’t believe y’all he said man
I’m gonna tell them you could say to
this and he found the biggest thing he
could find again you could say to this
mountain this is the second time in two
chapters back-to-back where he has told
them if they just had a little baby
faith that they could speak to the
biggest thing around and commanded to
move you think depression has a hold of
your life you think divorce is gonna
ravage your family I feel this thing you
think that financial debt is gonna come
in God says if you had a baby thing you
could speak to the biggest thing in your
life and you could tell it to be lifted
and thrown into the sea and look what
the Bible says and it will everybody say
will it will happen but you must really
believe it like that’s why I keep coming
back to life but do you really believe
but do you really have faith I know you
come to church but but but do you
believe on Monday
cuz I know like I know brain do is come
in but on Tuesday by faith I see a
miracle but on Wednesday and many of us
do not take the faith that we feel and
we have charged in this atmosphere to
that to that job we don’t like tomorrow
and God says that’s where I want to show
myself strong that’s where I want you to
believe that peace can come into this
atmosphere that’s where I want you to
stand up and be my representative and
you thought that your face was for the
church he said this is a huddle we got
to go run the play what would happen if
a football team just stayed in the
huddle y’all we gonna run this blue
point two six nine up the middle but we
never ran the play and so people senior
like you are we about to tell them about
the whoa whoa and they jumping around
and the other team like that’s what the
church looks like
a bunch of people like I know I know I
know if you know to play running if you
have faith if you have faith show us if
you believe the Word of God let the Word
of God run the play look at three people
and say run the play
come on run the play
[Applause]
run the play either God is a provider or
he’s not either he’s Jehovah Jireh or
he’s not even it’s the God with us or
he’s not run the play that’s what he’s
telling the disciples he’s like man if
y’all would just if y’all would just
listen to me and run this play
you got stopped and blocked in the last
chapter cuz you didn’t have enough faith
and now you sitting here surprised that
when I ran the play it worked and he
said I’m trying to show you these things
so that you can have faith verse 24 he
said I tell you you can pray for
anything do you really believe it
because Moses was done for a very long
time of my Christian life I felt like
certain things were below the God care
meter right like God don’t care that I
get a good parking spot here but then
when I looked at this Bible it’s like do
I really believe this or not cuz it says
I tell you you can pray for anything and
I don’t know we want to pray for like
John needs a healing he has stage 4
cancer
and will die tomorrow everybody get
together let’s pray that is definitely
the right time to pray but also the
right time to pray is when somebody
things come to my mind and then I have
to tell myself nope don’t say that
how’s it so y’all just seeing me think
out loud all right but but but it’s also
time to pray okay I’ll tell it like this
now I’m just gonna tell the story that’s
all early okay I’m just good timing so
my wife um my wife when we were first in
our relationship she gonna kill me
okay so I’m just trying to think where
I’m asleep tonight so so when when me
and Natalie started datin and I think we
were engaged to be married I read the
scripture and my faith was building like
my faith was building building and so I
started really putting my weight on
these scriptures in like I read this
mark chapter 11 scripture and it says
you can pray about anything and my wife
was complaining to me one day because
her eyebrows had went rogue like she
started losing hair or her eyebrow said
one eyebrow was karate-chopping the
other and it’s just one acting right and
you know for a lot of y’all like oh my
god that’s so uh like well I really
believe this cuz I was hearing her talk
about it and I looked at description so
you can pray about anything and I know
some of y’all y’all wouldn’t even bother
God with this but you’re living beyond
your privilege or below your privilege
so I asked Natalie straight up I said do
you want our brows
I said cuz the Bible tells us that we
can pray about it she said baby I want
some eyebrows I said in the name in my
brows I’m not lying to y’all I’m telling
you the truth and we pray that God would
allow whatever follicles were in her
hair that weren’t dyed what we’re we’re
dying or anything we prayed them things
back to life and see people like ha ha
ha but she got eyebrows now so you can
hate if you want to but prayer what do
you believe it it ain’t where she wanted
to be but they ain’t where they used to
be hear what I’m saying and I’m being
funny right now
but I’m dead serious the simple fact
that Jesus himself this isn’t reading
your Bible said you can pray about and
you still don’t believe it you don’t
even have baby faith like you want crazy
faith for God to give you a company
doing eyebrow makeup but you don’t even
pray that he could let your own perhaps
and I’m using it apply it to your life
apply it to your situation may be crazy
faith is a song of you consistently
working baby faith when I wrote down
that the Spirit event center would be
transformation Church and we would pay
for it in ten point five million dollar
that wasn’t my first time exercising
faith that was crazy faith but when I
was in middle school I read the
scripture that said write the vision
down and make it plain and so I started
drawing Jordan tennis shoes
funny again huh hahahahaha
except I became a prophetic artist cuz
everything that I would take my time on
it I would make sure the language right
I’d use protractors I would trace see
the thing is I wanted to make sure what
I had I presented to God in excellence I
don’t have money I don’t have any of
these things but it was funny but I was
working my faith muscle and when one
shoe went from my paper to my feet I
started drawing the level and and what
that was happening is for some reason as
vain as it was I believe God was
allowing it to happen because I was
building my faith that I could pray and
believe and follow his word on anything
and it could happen so then I graduated
from tennis shoes and I told my dad I
wanted a custom-made drum set and my
father I thank God for my parents cuz
they never crushed my faith parents hear
me just cuz you didn’t have the faith to
believe for it do not tell your children
what they can or cannot do
y’all see them golf claps over there
well it’s not realistic that is not and
they will have exactly what you did but
if you take the limits off of them and
point them to the Word of God they may
be able to live the life that you wish
you was living right now how many
security as we leave the one thing about
my mom and dad they never crushed my
faith even when it seemed crazy I was 15
years old and I said I want a custom
drum set dad he said how much did it
cost
I said $8,000 now I want you to imagine
your 15 year old self telling your
parents whoever they are I want to buy
something for $8,000 my father said Wow
son he said well if you have the faith
to believe in God can do it that’s all I
needed
I needed to permission to dream all I
needed was somebody to give me
permission to allow God to do it in my
life so what did I do
the only thing I knew how to do start
drawing again I don’t have no money I
have no job I was in high school so I
took protractors and rulers and I have
one piece of paper I have people in here
who saw me do this and I created the
most beautiful drum set on a piece of
paper you’ve ever seen in your entire
life by somebody who can’t draw and I
would show everybody this is what God’s
gonna provide for me this is what God’s
gonna provide for me this is what god I
used to carry it on the outside of my
binder
you know the binders where you can slip
something in to see some of y’all don’t
know nothing about that because you
didn’t take books to school but for the
rest of us I slipped it into the outside
so when I was walking down the hallway
people would something be like what’s
that oh this is the drum said that I’m
that I’m gonna get one day my sixteenth
birthday one year later my dad said we
got something for you I said what you
mean you got something for me he said
you know that money that you’ve been
saving up I’d save $2,000 at 15 years
old for this thing that I didn’t even
know could happen he said give me the
money you’ve been saving I gave it to
him he said go look outside and there
was the most beautiful eighth piece
custom a drum set that I’ve ever seen in
my life and he said your faith produced
that now watch now watch now watch cuz
some of y’all pessimist here like know
your parents produce that my parents was
broke it was my faith that attracted the
finances through them they were not the
source they were a resource that God
used to be able to make his word come to
pass in his child’s life and so many of
us do not have the faith to believe that
God could do anything like that for us
but I’m here to say let faith arise let
faith or Allah start hoping again that
God could do something like this
for me so I’ll tell you the truth pray
for anything and if you believe that
you’ve received it I need you to get
this in your mind that you have to not
just only think God can’t do that you
need to visualize that you have already
received it God’s giving us a formula to
walk out baby faith he said I’ve given
you amazing tool called your imagination
it’s the only thing where you can be
sitting in the exact opposite of what
you want and close your eyes and see
yourself receiving what you want think
about it you can be in a full cast and
you can close your eyes and you can see
yourself healed and walking again and
you can see yourself running again God
says I need my people to believe they’ve
received it some of y’all need to just
turn off everything and start stay in
the apartment that is where you can cook
and use the bathroom and sleep within
one arms-length you need to think about
that and then you need to believe that
you’ve received keys to your new home
and that it’s paid for and that you’re
sitting there having barbecues in July
and you’ll v see y’all don’t even
believe it over here you need to believe
that you’re healed you need to believe
you need to see that your family is
around the Christmas table and
everybody’s laughing and giggling and
there’s no arguments and Uncle John
ain’t drunk outside and y’all know we
got a Uncle John but you don’t even
believe you’ve received it he’s given us
the formula and if we could ever do that
start using the imagination God’s give
us to visualize what he’s called us to
have he said you can have anything he
said if you believe that you’ve received
it it will be yours
I want you to say he’s not using like
qualifiers like it might be it could one
day be if the sky is 78 degrees and it
feels good outside it he said it will be
yours but when you are praying just just
make sure this one thing because a lot
of y’all about to get disqualified and
this one verse 25 cuz I could have
stopped it but I got a I got a pass to
you but when you’re praying oh shoot
first forgive anyone you are holding a
grudge against dang it cuz now 75% of
you wouldn’t be able to walk in baby
faith not crazy faith baby faith cuz you
won’t let those people go he’s saying
the thing that is the sedative to your
faith is the people you won’t release
your faith can’t go to where I want it
to go cuz you won’t forgive your father
who wasn’t there and yes he did you
wrong and yes he didn’t deserve to treat
you like that and yes you have a right
to be frustrated for the rest of your
life but that means that you will
forfeit the blessing of God for the rest
of your life too and this at
transformation Church 2019 is the year
of what release and God saying if you
would release them I would release it if
you will release them I would release
you if you would release them I will
release my savour and my blessing and my
influence on your life but you all
forgive so your faith is useless I
wonder if we could ever become a church
that will let people go cuz if we let
people go that’s why my wife is like why
are you so friendly with them and you
what they did I can’t let them stop what
God’s doing in my life I don’t have to
be uh uh I don’t have to be all around
them and be like oh but I’m not going to
harbor anything in my life in my heart
that’s gonna stop my faith from working
and that’s what some of y’all came for
today you you are crazy faith but you
can’t even qualify for baby faith
because unforgiveness is cancelling out
the promise of God in your life so what
do you want us to do Pastor Mike I want
faith to arise in your life how is that
gonna happen I’m gonna give you one
point and then we’re gonna pick up next
week and it’s gonna be crazy okay
read your Bible no that can’t be a fast
enough you see them claps it’s like okay
wow yeah I found out that there’s only
way faith happens and is ignited in you
and it’s found right here in Hebrews 11
chapter 1 it says now faith
no no not Hebrews chapter 11 1 let’s go
to imma go to Romans 10:17 it says so
then faith comes by hearing and hearing
by the Word of God
it’s amazing how illiterate Christians
are in the one book that has all our
answers
we think it’s a historic book we think
it’s like a fiction novel like oh I like
that David and Goliath won I like that
that’s a good winner and this is the
only book that when you read it it reads
you this is the only book that you can
be feeling temptation and you start
reading it and the Bible says in Psalms
119 how does a young man and young woman
keep his way pure he hides himself in
the Word of God even I just don’t call
me don’t do that no no no you need to
read your Bible you hadn’t bothered
it’ll cool you all the way now y’all
want to be faking the veil then today
open up open up Acts when you get a
booty call when you’re angry
put proverbs up when you about to do
something you know you’re right like you
feel it Matthew and see if it won’t
start speaking to you but the problem is
our faith is not built in the only thing
that can build our faith we build our
faith and other things and that’s why
you got to understand that faith as a
principle that God is placed in the
earth so if faith comes by hearing it’s
your faith is built in whatever you’re
hearing so if you’re hearing a bunch of
doubt and lies and division your faith
is getting built in that thing if you’re
trying to stay pure but you bump in
every sex song and I like to be and this
is the rapid this is the thing and all
of your relationships in like a Beyonce
song to the left to the left you’ve been
in 15 relationships but it’s because
faith comes by here and that’s all
you’ve been hearing you’ve been building
your faith in something that cannot help
you to stand you get angry and all your
relationships in like Game of Thrones
because faith comes by here and it’s
built in whatever you’re hearing and so
many of us will prefer our preference
over God’s purpose he was like man if
you could just get faith like a mustard
seed
I don’t need crazy faith from you all I
need to do what I want to do in your
life is baby what would happen if we
just were a church who didn’t like like
act like we were saved and act like I
was doing a miracle in our life and act
like it but really walked it out so what
you want us to do Pastor Mike this week
everybody under the sound of my voice
from watching online I want you to read
your Bible for 15 minutes every day I
loved it that’s if I got to do an hour
you don’t you don’t you’re more
consistent and checking Facebook
then you are seeking his face so I’m I’m
not trying to I’m not trying to create a
crazy fake moment Church I want us to
read our Bible for four hours every day
cut off PV cut off social media let’s
not start with crazy let’s start with
baby everybody in this room can take 15
minutes 15 and read your Bible this week
well pastor I don’t know where to start
great that’s why we have a team and a
church here that’s gonna help you you
can go to the Instagram the website the
app and all this week starting tomorrow
you’ll be able to find places to be able
to read your Bible I’m just asking what
would happen if your faith was built all
week we came back in here next Sunday
night there would be miracles happening
worship what nobody would even have to
hear Pastor Mike speak because your
faith would be as soon as I touch with
one other believer my mark the word says
if two or three of us are gathered in
his name
everybody else could leave he said God
is in the myths matter of fact I got
goosebumps
I don’t even gotta make it to church I
just need to call one or two people who
actually believe that God can do a
miracle and my baby faith will turn into
crazy faith but if we can’t get it on
the small level we’ll never get it on
the big level can we commit to that this
week I said can we commit to that this
week okay I want to pray for every
person in this room cuz the day I told
Charles earlier I wanted to ride the
wave of what we did last week I we was
gonna be jumping around here doing
jumping jacks flips I had a message that
what I had us pop and the Holy Spirit
said that would be bad parenting
if you keep your kids on a high but
don’t teach him why and I’m not calling
nobody a kid but I am the spiritual
shepherd at this house and it is my job
to make sure that we’re growing we’re
gonna see more crazy miracles but maybe
God would be more pleased but not just
one offs of crazy faith maybe he would
be more pleased with consistent baby
faith hands lifted all over this
building father I pray for every person
under the sound of my voice today
something has started on the inside of
us God I’m thanking you for every person
who have felt father that maybe you
forgot about what their situation is or
what they have to do father I think you
did you care about the details of their
life today let faith arise on the inside
of us I declare and I believe father God
that you are giving us the hope to
believe in you not just a fake facade of
believing but truly putting our weight
on the things and the promises that you
say in your word this week as we read
our word for 15 minutes every day I
thank you that faith would arise on the
inside of us father I think that we
would believe your word father I thank
you that we would trust you again and
God I thank you that our baby faith
would turn into crazy faith I come
against depression I come against doubt
I come father God even against unbelief
father God that will make us say this is
crazy
this won’t work father God it’s crazy
until it happens and today I thank you
that transformation church and
transformation nation will be a group of
people that will fully believe you and
we will see crazy faith but it will
start with our baby faith in Jesus name
if you believe it will you give God a
shout of praise in astre oh come on
if you
why don’t you give God one shot
appraised
[Music]
listen just sit down for one second this
is the most important part of our art
service if you don’t have to leave just
stay right there because people are
about to get ministered to if you’re in
this room and you’ve never accepted
Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and
Savior this is about to take faith like
coz some of y’all like well I don’t
understand like how do you believe in a
God that you’ve never seen I feel you
but you’ve never seen wind either and
ain’t nobody ever seen Wi-Fi but you
believe in it
could it be that there’s something so
amazing that’s right in front of you but
you just have to receive it today would
you bow your head and close your eyes
everybody all over the building and if
you want to give your life to the only
one who really knows what to do with it
in just a moment we’re gonna pray but
it’s the it’s the one greatest decision
that I ever made it took me from being a
liar somebody who was addicted to
pornography a manipulator and a bad
person on the inside and it took me from
from not not to be in a perfect person
but a progressing president today God
wants you he want you to know that His
grace is extended for you if you’re
saying pastor I want to put my faith in
Jesus Christ or I’m gonna put my faith
back in Jesus Christ today on the count
of three I just want you to lift your
hands all over this building
and online I want you to do that there’s
hands already going up 1 2 3 there’s
hands I see you ma’am I see you sir I
see you sweetheart I see you ma’am I see
you ma’am I see you ma’am
you can put your hands down I see you
ma’am today we’re a family at
transformation church we don’t pray
alone there’s power in our prayer
together song 1 everybody to pray this
prayer say God thank you for sending
your son just for me I believe he died
he lived and he rose again just for me
come into my life and take control
change me renew me transform me I’m
yours in Jesus name Amen
