God has a system for our seeds to grow: seed, sow, time, work, harvest. But different seeds grow in different ways. God is sovereign. He exists out of time, and can accelerate the system. Pastor Mike teaches about activating unusual acceleration. Don’t miss this word for your life, and make sure you share it with a friend!
what would make you wake up
go to your daughter’s room
open up your laptop
write down impossible things
get in a borrowed 15 passenger van
drive over to a 54 million dollar arena
take this picture
and tell everybody you will one day own
it
crazy fake
what makes you get back into the 15
passenger van
go to your current situation get on a
platform in front of skeptical people
and say this we’re going to have to go
to another place
crazy faith
what would make you turn down two
million dollars
give to other people when you were in
need
say you will have no debt
and believe not just for a building but
for the entire block
crazy faith
what would make you embrace the tears
after the confirmed diagnosis
acknowledge the lies and the fears but
still believe for the healing in your
child
crazy faith
what would make you stop waiting on the
crowd to agree with what you know but
they cannot see
stop playing it safe on the boat it’s
time for you to do the impossible and
walk on the scene
you’ve got to see it before you see it
yeah maybe it might sound crazy but baby
your purpose can’t afford for you to be
lazy it’s only crazy until it happens
yeah they think i’m crazy
today
is week seven
of a series we’re calling crazier faith
and in this series if you’ve been coming
along on the journey um we have gotten a
new um mandate that just came right
before um in worship
that
we’ve come too far to go back
we’ve hit the point of no return
so if you have watched the six parts of
crazier faith up until now
it’s too late for you
you’re responsible for what you’ve heard
don’t go back and listen unless you want
your life to completely change
this series is to take us from safe
living
from the christianity
that really has no level of risk
i know we try to avoid risk at all costs
but believing god is risky business
and every person i look at in the word
that we quote their scriptures and get
tattoos of what they said and and have
it hanging up in our kitchen all of
those people did not live safe
comfortable
cookie-cut
lives for christ
they lived their life out on the limb
and people around them would have called
them
crazy
and i decided that i wasn’t going to
talk about it i was going everybody say
be about it
you ever met somebody who acts hard but
they saw this medicated cotton
you know what i’m saying they got big
talk the the old school would say they
got a lot of bark but no bite
like like that’s what most of the church
looks like
a bunch of scripture quoting
no actual results
a bunch of telling people what they
should be doing
no actual track record
of doing it themselves
and this is why people are like yeah
y’all are hypocrites
yeah i can’t believe y’all
i decided i didn’t want to talk about
living a life for god
i wanted to live it
so that then people can talk about it
i’m not going to talk about it you going
to talk about it when you see
what god has done the goal of this is to
become a living word
not not something that all of us have to
be like yeah and in second corinthians
it says they should be able to look at
first michael too
second bree
third william
see
i need you to be the bible that people
read
and
the truth of the matter is if you were
the only word that people saw they would
not fall in love with jesus
today i’m challenging you
to go beyond where you have been
and allow god to start putting seeds on
your heart and in your life
that will make you the living word
everybody say living word
when people talk about generosity
they don’t have to go to a scripture in
malachi
they can look at the scripture of sarah
and every time you come into starbucks
for some reason you’re joyful you’re
generous you encouraged and you left me
the same amount of tip that it cost for
your coffee
she different
they should be able to be at the sports
games with you and your kids who can’t
really play the sports
and be able to watch how you react
that’s where some of y’all get in
trouble
when the call goes the wrong way
some of y’all lose all your
sanctification and all of the words that
come in out of your mouth are cusses
that’s old-school cusses
what i’m saying to you is would anybody
be able to see the fruits of the spirit
love joy peace
patience kindness
self
control
i just made a decision
that for the rest of the series since
will we’re at a place where it’s like um
we can’t go back
i’m going to talk
to the people sitting
at the adult table
the last part of this series
i’m not talking to people who are still
trying to figure out if they want to
live in crazy faith
the rest of this series
is for the people who have decided
somebody say i have decided
and maybe this is the 30 seconds you
need to decide because i’m going to
another level for people who want to
actually live this out and by this time
next year see the fruit of the life that
they have decided to live today i need
you to decide somebody say i have
decided
if you’re going to live in crazier faith
while you’re still sitting here and the
bank account is in negative
while you’re sitting here right now and
you’re separated from the person you
want to be with
you can make a decision right now
that you’re going to live in crazier
faith you are in a halfway house
you’re in jail shout out to my guys in
dallas mike degrade and my people in
oklahoma city y’all people are watching
crazy faith in jail right now hold on
now y’all gonna let people in jail out
praise you and have more faith
what i’m saying is it doesn’t matter the
situation
god’s saying you can decide somebody say
i have decided
so everybody put on you
put on your big boy and big girl
britches
today we’re going to another level are
you ready for another level
so last week we talked about faith like
a farmer
and i am so proud of transformation
church because as soon as that message
went out
over a hundred thousand people watched
that message in 48 hours
and it started to be shared and started
to go all over and i started hearing
crazy faith testimonies and i encourage
everybody go back and watch that message
but for a three-point recap in 10
seconds this is what you need to
understand about having faith like a
farmer number one sow it before you see
it
if you put it in the ground before you
see any harvest that is the place where
things start to change then you need to
sacrifice it before you see it
that means that i’m going to have to
make a sacrifice i’m going to have to
give my time my treasure my talent
before there is any results these are
keys to the kingdom and the last one is
start it before you see it
so many people want to start after they
have a guarantee that’s not faith
that is strategy
most people want their relationship with
god to be strategic instead of faith
field
so if you knew it was going to work this
is just strategy duh that’s common sense
that’s supposed it takes faith to be
able to start it before you see it start
the business before you see it
start the website before you have
anybody that comes to it
start the book before you have a deal
start the clothing line when you have
nobody to wear it start somebody shot at
me start
that’s faith
stop acting like it’s faith when you at
a surplus and you’re sitting around like
yeah what should i do now that’s not
faith that’s strategic
but god wants you to start it before you
see it and as a church every year we
come and bring all of our faith to this
moment that we call our crazy faith
offering and um i’m encouraging you
right now to start praying
about what god would have you give in
this offering and i don’t care what it
is i’m not looking for anybody’s
specific gift or anything i’m trying to
get my mind around what god’s told me
and natalie to give i ain’t got time to
be worried about you
i’m leading the charge
this ain’t something y’all do and i’m i
am i am the lead servant at
transformation church not the lead
pastor
and what god’s asking me to do this year
it hurts
me and my wife still have to come to uh
see this is the one thing i’m gonna tell
you husbands and wife pick the right
time to talk about what god has told you
because y’all can get in real
interesting conversations
yeah y’all pray for me passing that
but i’m leading this charge because
december 5th we’re coming here with our
faith
and every year people begin to fast and
pray and save and say we are going to
give towards the vision of the future of
what god is going to do and y’all i
can’t even give you full details until i
get a couple of clearances from a couple
of people but what i’m telling you is
you’ve never seen transformation
church’s vision before what god has
given me and where we are going is about
to blow the socks off of anything that
we’ve ever done somebody’s getting it by
faith right now you’re starting to
understand and i need some people to sew
before you see it
what we’re about to do is going to take
more resources human resource and
financial resource than anything we’ve
ever done
and i bet just like there was a few
hundred people that had crazy faith to
give for the eighty thousand dollars for
those cameras back in 2015.
i bet there’s about thirty 000
people that’ll give whatever god tells
you
so that we can go to another level in
crazy faith i want to let everybody know
cause some of y’all real crazy and
you’re not just gonna give online some
of y’all gonna actually come to tulsa
y’all do it every year so i just want to
make sure i let you know we’re going
back to where it all started
we have set up our our flagship location
at 15 19. if you’ve never been to north
tulsa come on to tulsa baby and we’re
opening back the doors of our north
tulsa building for us to give our crazy
faith offering and you say why is that
significant it was from that place
that we sowed a seed of 8 300 dollars
into other churches
that broke the back of poverty over our
ministry
and the holy spirit said mike go back to
ground zero
and i want people to come
and i want them to give on that soil
i want them to plant in that soil so i’m
letting you know right now that on uh
what is the dates november 29th through
december 10th
at 15 19 the building will be open from
a certain time to a certain time i don’t
know them times right now so i ain’t
going to tell you but look on the
website
and you’re going to be able to give
there’ll be worship music playing
there’ll be people there with faith
there’ll be people there praying and i
want us to come in a holy act
and i want us to give in crazy faith is
anybody with me all over the world if
you’re with me say i’m with you pastor
the reason that i’m saying this to you
right now because some of y’all god’s
just starting to have to work on your
heart and some of you trying to figure
out how is this going to happen but the
bible tells us that he gives seed to the
sower so if you decide in your heart
that you want to sow i promise you
god will give you seed and it’s already
happening somebody say it’s already
happening let me tell you about a serial
sower that i found out about this week
i’m just trying to stir your faith
that’s my assignment today is to stir
your faith there was somebody that had
been believing a couple that had been
believing for a brand new car they just
had a baby found out they were pregnant
again and they had one car and they
needed to be able to move they had a
couple of different family members come
in and see their situation and say you
know what we got a little extra we’ll
buy you a car you can pay us back
whenever and that was an amazing
blessing
except
god had told the husband of this
relationship specifically
i’m about to do something in your
vehicle situation
and in the face of people wanting to
help
he had to look at people he loved and
say
i’m sorry this may seem crazy
i’m sorry
that i can’t accept the help that you’re
about to give me why
because god told me
he was going to do something specific
for me
concerning my vehicle please don’t get
it twisted every blessing is not
obedience
oh i just said something somebody you
count every blessing as ob every
blessing is not obedience when god told
you something different
this man looked at two different sides
of his family and told them no god’s
gonna do something his wife looking at
him like boy if you don’t quit tripping
but they stood in agreement
last week
i was riding with this individual he
said pastor mike i got to tell you
something he said what’s up he said
thank you
say thank you for what
said thank you for living in crazy faith
he said um this atmosphere has changed
my faith forever
to believe god
i was like oh great god bless you glory
to god you know you just start saying
all the things he said no you don’t
understand
he said after telling one family member
no
and telling the other family member no
i got a call two days ago i said who was
it
it was somebody who had been watching
our situation from afar
knew no details
but they called and said i’m on the way
to the car dealership to buy myself a
new car and i currently have the keys to
your new car
would you meet me at this place i’ve
already signed everything over to you
and i need you to come pick up the keys
to your brand new fully loaded vehicle
y’all
don’t want to shout with me but you
can’t convince me that crazy face season
is here and god has opened up the
windows see i see the people who are mad
and jealous and then i see the people
who are in line for the miracle because
they begin to praise just like it
happened for them
i’m telling you
there are things that god wants to do
right now that require somebody shout at
me crazy faith
okay
so that was the first confirmation that
i had to preach the message i’m about to
preach today
and i got two more confirmations with
exact words
of what i was supposed to preach today
so
i’m gonna obey
and i’m gonna tell you a story about
what happened on a monday night
january 30th 2012.
at transformation church
we have
monday night prayer
some of y’all think that this is what
makes transformation church great the
sauce of our church
is prayer
and we pray all the time my parents they
lead that mug they just be praying and
praying and praying
sometime mama come in y’all know the
memes that you see of the mom waking you
up at four o’clock in the morning in the
name of jesus
that’s brenda todd and um
and what ends up happening is we were at
this prayer meeting none of y’all was
here
this is 2012
no blow up nobody watching on instagram
no nobody i mean could have been 13
people at prayer that night
and this woman comes up and she says i
have a prophetic word and anybody who
doesn’t know what a prophetic word is
it’s a word of encouragement or warning
warning or correction that is supposed
to move you forward
and this woman says i have a prophetic
word and she’s like pastor mike this is
for you you just received this and you
know when it comes to the prophetic some
people are just weird
it’s not the prophetic it’s them
they’re weird they just start doing
weird stuff and prophetic don’t have to
be weird but
and this woman said i i feel like and
you know i just be ready because i’ve
been around prophetic people all my life
so i never know somebody might hit a
backflip and do the splits and be like
god said split it open and i’ll be like
why did you
i’m telling y’all there’s crazy stuff
that
i’ve seen all kind of stuff
so i’m just bracing myself for the
and she says could you lift your hands
i’ll lift my hand she says god said
about this church
that it’s about to be a bamboo season
and y’all like yes yes yes yes that
didn’t mean nothing to me like i’m like
the bamboo season glory to god
hallelujah well church people always try
to make stuff deep and don’t know what’s
happening but when she said bamboo
season that i was like great
the bamboo season she said god is about
to do a new thing and it’s going to be
like bamboo
i was like like bamboo and she said yes
and so sometimes god gives you a
prophetic word that you got to go study
and so i went and i started studying
what’s at least he said bamboo so maybe
let me look at bamboo and what i found
out about the bamboo plant
is the bamboo plant is one of the
fastest growing plants in the world
it’s sturdy it’s solid it’s strong it’s
durable it’s used for building
it is incredibly strong and regenerates
itself in nature
so then i was like okay
god’s about to make it a bamboo shooting
about to be strong
sturdy i was like let me do a push-up
like i didn’t know
and then i kept reading
and it said it takes
the bamboo
about three years after being sown
to break through
now last week we talked about having
faith like a farmer
and we talked about sowing seeds
and i i gave you a formula but then when
i started to look at this i started to
see that
there are different ways that different
plants grow
and this plant grows under the surface
for three years
but then
when it breaks through oh
we
scientifically
under the right conditions
the bamboo
can grow an astonishing two inches an
hour
three years under
two inches an hour
that means that suddenly
where it looked like there was nothing
somebody shot at me suddenly
where it looks like there was no
movement no growth nobody cared nobody
was listening nobody who had traction
somebody shot at me suddenly
it grows two inches an hour that means
the bamboo
can go from nothing
to growing four feet in 24 hours
god begin to show me he said michael
i need you to tell my church
that this
is the season of unusual acceleration
i need somebody to hear me put up a
picture of a bamboo forest
this is a picture
of what some of your life is about to
look like
now everybody don’t have to shout
because some of y’all don’t have faith
for this but the name of this series is
crazier faith and right now what looks
completely empty
right now what looks like a vacant
desert right now what nobody has been
able to check for check back with me
tomorrow because what god can do
somebody say it’s bamboo season
and i came to prophetically tell you
that it is bamboo season
and it
is the season of unusual
acceleration
somebody say unusual acceleration
no say it again unusual
see
the thing that we talked about last week
was usual growth
and i feel like i had to start you there
to let you know that we serve a god that
bases things on principles and systems
like he
he he does things and puts things in
place so that we can follow them but
there’s always moments
where god in his sovereignty
this is a word we don’t use often but
somebody say sovereign
that means he can do what he wants
with who he wants
when he wants to
and see some of us get so bogged into
the structure in the system that we
forget that our god is somebody say it
with me sovereign
and what ends up happening is god will
take a system
and he will do unusual acceleration
remember what i told y’all last week
what what the formula is it’s
seed help me so
then what time then what work then what
harvest
for everybody that just got it i want to
go back let’s do it one more time it’s
what seed help me it’s on the screen so
help me
time
work
harvest
this is the usual progression
but write this point down which god
reminded me of
god uses systems
but god is still sovereign
some of y’all
it’s gonna happen suddenly
i’m not here for everybody today but i’m
on assignment for at least three
thousand of y’all that believe that it
ain’t gonna take all that time that it
took all of them to do that i serve a
god of the exception i serve a god that
says hold on i can be sovereign in this
situation
and somebody shot at me suddenly and
some of y’all are saying well pastor
mike i am i am grateful for your new
revelation but last week i took copious
notes around the subject that you gave
us and you gave us a very exact and
distinct formula at how god was going to
move
see the problem is
the system is still working
it’s just been accelerated
it’s still the same system
but it goes
seed help me
so
time work harvest
seed
so
timer harvest
it’s the same system
it’s just been accelerated
and i don’t know who this is for right
now but some of y’all gonna sow your
seed and it’s just gonna be like time
work harvest
there’s some things that you’re gonna
put in the ground today
and it’s gonna come up tomorrow cause
it’s gonna be like time work harvest
and some of y’all
it’s going to seem like one word
see showtime where harvest
what you doing just see somewhere how
i’m hurrying
what’s happened in your life since i
worked
just try to say that fast with me put it
up there what are we seeing right now
see sometime work hard
but
i saw you this time last month
and you were telling me how everything
was jacked up
what happened
jesus
but you told me that your family was
split apart and wouldn’t be together for
christmas but i saw y’all in a picture
together
what happened see something
some of y’all gonna be walking
into places that were barren last week i
don’t know who this is for
you gonna open up bank accounts that
didn’t have nothing in it last week you
gonna go to your friend group text that
had nobody faithful in it last week and
god said so to see
cause this is the season of unusual
acceleration if you believe it give god
a shout of prayer
see see this word is challenging
somebody’s crazy faith
see because what faith does is hear a
word and it snatches it and says that’s
mine
see i don’t have to call you up one by
one and say listen to me let me tell you
what god’s saying to you no no no when
that word goes out in the atmosphere
faith grabs stuff
oh yeah somebody needs to prophetically
just put your hand in the air and you
need to grab this bamboo season yes some
of y’all got it some of y’all got two
hands are you saying uh i’m snatching
that this is mine right here we’re not
gonna be in the same place this time
next month we’re not gonna be in the
same place this time next year it’s
bamboo season i’m about to i’m snatching
that bird
somebody said give me that
oh i feel that thing
some of y’all about to see unusual
acceleration give me that
my business is about to see unusual
acceleration give me that my family’s
about to see unusual acceleration give
me that
by faith
we can claim things
somebody shot at me give me that
healing
oh y’all missed it
healing give me that
discipline give me
kingdom relationships give me
working in my purpose kimmy
it’s a season of unusual acceleration it
don’t matter that you didn’t get into
the school god will bring the professor
to you and have him teach you personally
y’all don’t hear me this is a season of
unusual acceleration jimmy
pastor mike how is that physically and
astronomically impossible
it’s because remember there’s one word
in there
that we only understand from a mortal
standpoint
seed
so
here’s the word
time
see the thing you don’t know about god
is time was invented for us
but god stands
outside of time
and he can look at the situation
said oh oh okay
now i know i have their heart
because the heart and the hand are
connected
so when they sewed it i knew i knew i
had them i knew they loved me i knew
so now that i see they can sow
now i can stand outside of time
and i can go ahead and
all of the pain and the setup and the
frustration that it would take for that
to usually happen
i can speed up time let me prove it to
you in the word somebody go to joel
chapter 2 verse 25.
so i will restore i got to say this
to the people who have felt like they’ve
wasted time
and lost yeah i’m talking to somebody
there are people that feel like you have
a lost seasons well if i if
transformation would have been around
when i was 20 and i would have heard
these messages and i would have but now
i’m 50 and now i’m 45 and now i’m 60 and
it just feels like i’m behind the eight
ball and it feels like i i i can’t
this scripture
is for you and it’s for
this generation who statistics say
that has the highest level of suicide
because they feel that at age 26 they’ve
done nothing with their lives
see the enemy tries to i heard it said
like this if he can’t get in front of
you and stop you he gets behind you and
pushes you
and makes you feel like you’ve wasted
and lost too much time
if you fit in any of those categories
joel chapter 2 25 is about to be crazy
faith encouragement for you so i this is
god talking we’ll restore to you
the years that’s time
who’s about to receive this that the
swarming locust has eaten the crawling
locust has eaten the consuming locust
has eaten and the chewing locust see
what y’all don’t understand is what
locusts are locusts are animals that ate
harvest
everything that has eaten your harvest
every person
every investment every idea every person
you invested your life into that job you
served for 20 years those people you
gave to and somehow they snatched it
from
everything that the locust stole
god said i’ma restore to you the time
i feel this somebody’s heart and soul is
about to be replenished you shall eat
plenty and be satisfied and praise the
name of the lord your god who has dealt
wondrously with you see there’s
something you learned in that process
too he said that you’re not just going
to go through that and not learn
something i’ve dealt with you in this
you’ve learned character things in this
i’ve changed your picker some of y’all
got a picker that’s off y’all pick the
wrong people the wrong places and the
wrong partners but god said i’m changing
all that i’ve dealt with you in this and
my people shall never
be put
to shame
then you shall know
after all of this happen after i restore
you then you shall know
that i am in the midst of israel
and i’m the lord yo god i’m the only one
that could have done this you thought
your best days was at 35.
i’mma make 55 look like the new 35.
y’all don’t hear me
i’mma make your kids look at you and say
what are you doing i’m gonna make those
people who graduated with more degrees
than a thermometer come learn from you
i’m glad y’all don’t hear me up in here
i will restore somebody shot at me
restored
i’m shaking somebody’s face right now
some of y’all dead that’s watching this
right now but i’m shaking somebody’s
faith who’s about to pop because this
bamboo season he said i’m the one who
did this
and there is no other
my people he says it again
shall never be put
to shame
hallelujah
somebody needs to thank god
that everything that you’ve been ashamed
of
god will redeem and restore
cause the last sentence of your life
will be that god did not let it end
in shame
the family that’s been ridiculing you
for your crazy faith step
the person who said you better not give
that money to them you coming on this
vacation god said i promise you stay
with me
i will not let you be put to shame
that’s why dale
it’s the bamboo season
god’s saying you’ve been faithful all
them years
and nothing came up
it was still growing
it was just going down
because of what’s about to come up
little root
little fruit
little root
little fruit for what god’s about to do
it had to take a little bit longer down
but as soon as it breaks forth i feel i
feel my mama’s anointing right here when
brenda todd says breakfast there’s
something that happened that like
there’s something that’s about to happen
it’s go you’re gonna be looking at it
and as you looking at it then it’s just
gonna break forth and something is going
to move
and it ain’t gonna stop
this week a blessing

work
harvest
and then it’s bamboo season so there’s
unusual acceleration in seasonal time
work harvest
and you start saying it so fast
that what people hear
and what it feels like is
seed harvest
seed harvest
seed harvest
this is the season our church is in
it’s like when we plant it just come up
seed harvest we’re in such a season of
that you is so fast you don’t even see
and i just needed to tell somebody that
only
the only reason god does something for
this house
as the organization
is to paint a picture
of what he wants to do in your house as
the organism put your hand on yourself
and say
this is my season
of unusual
acceleration i’m gonna give you three
more chances cause some of y’all just
repeated me now you’re gonna say it by
faith this is my season
of unusual acceleration
come on i want you to look at me get in
my face right now and i want you to say
this is my season
of unusual acceleration
now some of y’all about to see this in
your life i’m saying it one more time
say it with faith this is my season
of unusual acceleration
now give god praise if you really
believe it
some of y’all don’t believe it but
somebody’s praise doesn’t actually
believe it
yep chapter five
one day
as the disciples
as jesus was preaching on the shore of
the sea of galilee great crowds pressed
in on him to listen to the word of god
he noticed two empty boats at the
water’s edge for the fishermen had left
them and were washing their nets
now let me set the scene for you jesus
is going around drawing crowds from
everywhere the man can stand anywhere
and start preaching and he is kind of
the son of god and so like people just
start coming being healed blessed the
liver set free all the other things he’s
preaching at this moment on the sea of
galilee and could have stayed on the
shore but he saw something that he
wanted to use as an example that wasn’t
the main thing but was the thing that he
wanted us to learn so he sees two boats
and he was like i’m about to get in
somebody’s boat and he then looks around
for the owner
the people
who’s boat
oh
they’re washing their nets
see what you don’t know if you don’t
fish
is washing your nets
is the thing you have to do
after you go out fishing no matter if
you catch anything or not
what this tells me
is that if we want to start seeing and
activating a season of unusual
acceleration write this point down you
have to steward well what’s not working
well
these men were fishing all night that we
find out later in the story they catch
nothing
they looked
buried
they looked
under
but god saw them still being faithful in
a place that didn’t seem fruitful
and it attracted god to them
in an age where when it doesn’t look
like it’s working most people quit
god told me to come here and tell you
that what is attractive
for unusual acceleration is washing your
nets
using well or stewarding well over what
doesn’t look like it’s producing well
for you right now that car that you are
ready to throw out
god said you haven’t cleaned it in a
month
how are you believing for unusual
acceleration and you won’t steward well
what’s not working well
some of y’all go to marriage counseling
for two sessions and if they don’t heal
25 years of your trauma in two sessions
you done this cost too much we could go
on a vacation and then be mad at each
other in the whole vacation god is
saying you’re not stewarding well over
your marriage
would you steward well over what’s not
working well these disciples decided
even though it didn’t work
i’m still gonna work it
and i don’t know who needs to hear this
but god does not give more to somebody
who does not care about what they
already have
he is the most amazing steward somebody
who wants to take care and maximize
everything we see it in the story of the
talents if you go to another place where
they tell the parables god by his grace
give somebody one somebody two somebody
five and he says i’m going away i just
need you to do something with what i
gave you and literally the one with five
turns it into ten the one with two turns
it into four the one with one was scared
and so he buried it
and when he put it in the ground
and he came back
the master said what’d you do he said i
doubled it i doubled it and this man
said i knew you were a wicked harsh
master so i didn’t want to mess anything
up i didn’t want to live in crazy faith
i didn’t want to take a step of faith
and so i buried what i had i kept it
hidden i kept it protected
and here it is back to you
god literally called him a wicked
servant
because he didn’t steward well
what seemed to not be working well
i don’t know what it is in your life
right now but if you want to see unusual
acceleration god’s looking at what’s in
your hand right now
that apartment
that you can’t stand
that you’re believing god for a house
but
i don’t want to can i step on some
people just let me just
you’re not stewarding your finances well
your nails done hair done everything did
but your bills are late
you’re messing up the vehicle that god
will use on paper to be able to bless
you in a different season because you’re
trying to impress people you don’t even
like
it’s time to stew y’all see how quiet it
just got right there it’s time to some
of y’all are about to go into so much
debt over the holiday season
to try
to make somebody feel better about you
that you won’t have a conversation with
the conversation would be merry
christmas more than all of the gifts
that you were gonna give them say i’m
sorry
and replace the sony playstation
i’m in your business right now see what
i’m trying to tell you is god says i’ve
given you something stewarded well
so that i can unleash unusual
acceleration see the only reason that
god’s blessing transformation church is
because we decided to steward well
what god gave us
i have no idea
how when i came into this ministry that
god was going to bless us to the point
where we could bless others but all i
knew is what he had given us i had to do
something with the first thing tammy’s
sitting there on the front row who’s
been our business manager since i’ve
been in transformation church before we
love you tammy everything will be bad
without you um
the first thing i came in and told tammy
said tammy
i know that our church gives and i know
that we bless people and we help people
benevolently but god has given me a
strict instruction
that 10
of every dime dollar and penny that
comes in here we have to give it away in
that year
and she was like well we usually do this
and da da da da da da i say
can’t be loose
it’s got to be exactly 10
and when i said it i heard a gulp in her
throat it’s like look
because we had up until that point been
living by faith
but just having a couple of just just in
case measures
and god said believe me and i’ll do
unusual acceleration
from that day
until this one
there has not been one dollar dime or
sent that has come into this church
that 10 of it hasn’t gone out to further
missions that have nothing to do with us
to end sex trafficking to get showers
for the homeless to be able to help
people that are in lebanon and help
people that are in afghanistan and end
hunger y’all don’t y’all y’all don’t
even want to shout with me we stewarded
well in a season what was not working
well and now god has allowed us to live
in abundance
it was unusual acceleration why
because we stewarded well
was what wasn’t working where
well i need everybody this week to go
evaluate what have you not been
stewarding well
oh this is where the message becomes
practical because some of you
are not stewarding your body well
uh oh
i just keep going to the doctor and i
keep breaking down and i keep
it’s the burger
it’s the cake
it is the ice cream
it no no no no no it is
and it’s in your family line
it’s generation why are we crying
that big mama died of diabetes
and she ate so i’m talking to black
people right now and she and indians and
she ate so food that’s what my wife and
my family i’m talking to all of them
that’s what you ate
every weekend
for 42 years
now we’re asking god for a miracle
i wish i could be real as a pastor and
when people ask me can we pray and i ask
them well has this been no i’m not
praying for that
i don’t pray for that
i’m gonna pray for something that
actually could see some results you
wanted this to happen you did not
steward well
they gonna be mad at me on this one we
believe god can do the impossible why
are we still believing for impossible
situations when if we acted
in
wisdom
i’m not answering emails this week
steward well
what’s not working well let me let me
show you another point verse three
stepping i’m gonna have to get out of
here quick i need security going out
some people mad and salty it’s the truth
anyhow stepping into one of the boats
jesus asked simon its owner
to push it out into the water
hold on that means if we’re gonna see
unusual acceleration god may ask us to
do something
he doesn’t just step into the boat and
do it all
he didn’t push the boat out himself
he asked
the owner and the other thing i love
about here i’m gonna preach the point
but i’m gonna preach in between the
points too because i keep seeing stuff
is just coming alive to me as i’m
sitting here
he had a choice whether to step in his
boat or not
because the bible says there were
tubos
so if god chooses to come speak to you
chooses to show you a sign chooses to
use you choose this the truth is he
could have chose somebody else
he asked the owner push out into the
water so he sat in the boat and taught
the crowds from there if you want to
activate unusual acceleration let god
sit in what you have
we don’t know what type of boat this was
we don’t know if it was a cruise line or
the best ship of the day
or if it was a little
it ain’t even worth naming
and that’s how some of us feel in our
situation
our business is not even worth
this is not even
and god said i didn’t ask you
what type
of boat you have
i ask you can i sit in it
can i sit in your marriage
i don’t care how many moments of
infidelity that there’s been
can i sit here
can i sit in the addiction i know it’s
been 14 years and your dad was like it
but can i sit in your boat
and today i just came to tell somebody
who doesn’t feel worthy to have the
savior of the world in your boat
that that’s what he made the boat for
he made it so that he could sit in it
he used all of the crevices and cracks
of your life and said there’s still
something in there that can contain me
he could have stayed on the shore and
taught this message but he decided to
get in somebody’s boat
and all i’m asking you with all your
deficiencies with all your scars with
all your mistakes
like i said in your bow
some of y’all have been trying to sit in
your boat for years
he’s been trying to dwell and inhabit
and you keep rolling out every time oh
my bad jesus is not ready then you come
back to the shore and he’s like can i
sit here and just when you’re about to
sign up for a small group just when
you’re about to serve just when you’re
about to start giving you man
and god said would you just
and the thing about god
is every time you come to the shore
he’s coming to see if he can get on your
boat
some of y’all he’s been chasing you for
years and that’s why you say stole far
away from him
out at sea
wandering
deserted
lonely
and you know that nutrients are at the
shore
and as soon as you come up
jesus is like hey
waiting on you
love you
how was it
can i get in your boat now
decades
aren’t you tired of rowing
aren’t you tired of rowing away from god
aren’t you tired from trying to patch
the boat up while you’re still on the
sea
god’s saying would you let me sit in
everything you’re trying to hide from
me let me sit in your boat
i am proud
of simon
because he didn’t have a bunch of
questions for jesus
when it came time to sit in his boat
it literally goes from
and god
asked him
to push away like he got an assignment
oh i love you thank you holy spirit he
got an assignment as soon as he let god
in
see so many of us want a lot of time
before god tells us to do anything that
man let jesus on his boat he said do
something for me push away from here
partner with me
this is how i this is why i love the
word of god because men tell you you
need all of these degrees and you need
all of these qualifications and you need
all of these things but when i read my
bible if god is in your book if you have
a real encounter with jesus just ask
paul or saul as he was known when he had
a damascus road experience with god this
man went from killing christians one
week to proclaiming the gospel the next
week it wasn’t no long drawn out
possible possible process and god
refined him along the way he had to take
away his sight for a season but then
when he saw again
he partnered with god
some of y’all won’t let god on your boat
cause you’re scared he’s going to use
you
you know if he start using you you got
to change all of that
so so
look at your neighbor and say let god
sit in your boat
let god
sit in what you have
verse 4 when he had finished speaking
he said to simon
he gonna ask him to do something else
now go out
where it’s
deeper
what is the word of the year at
transformation church
and we discussed that in january that we
out here in the d
he literally told him the miracle that i
want to show you can’t happen in the
shallow
wow
the thing that i want to do on the
inside of you can’t happen in this
shallow water so i need you to go out
where it’s deeper this is the thing i
want everybody to see it was simon’s
decision
he wasn’t forced to go deeper
it was an instruction and he had to obey
it
what i’m telling you is god is a
gentleman he’s not forcing you to do
anything
and some of y’all like if god really
just want me to be pure then he would
just change my eyesight and let me let
me see these women because he knew he
created them to be beautiful and i don’t
want to touch and agree and lay hands on
them and pray for them for
sanctification like
it’s a decision not to go over there
homeboy
it’s a decision not to watch the things
that stir that emotion up
well everybody’s watching it but you
can’t
y’all think everybody got the same
triggers everybody ain’t got the same
trigger they can all watch it but i
can’t that i there there is literally a
whole season of my marriage y’all know i
speak very transparently about how i
dealt with pornography and all that
other stuff we didn’t have no movie
channels in our house
none
why
because it would go from the flintstones
to kinky kong
y’all want to be faith
i know i took a nap when the flintstones
were dealt with double dudes and i woke
up i said oh my god
how are they doing that
wow
and then it sent me into three months
see y’all
it was a moment
but it sent me into three months
of fighting temptation
that could have been avoided with a
decision
he said go out where it’s deeper make a
decision
and then let down your nets to catch
some fish
now this was the funny moment of the
story because i see things in movies
is because jesus is a professional
carpenter
he can make a chair
these men were professional fishermen
they knew how to catch fish
jesus
is telling professionals
how to do
what they already tried to do
and caught nothing
i think he did this to show us eternally
that god will use the foolish things or
the crazy things to confound or confuse
people who think they got it all
together and i bet they were gracious to
jesus because he’s like yeah we see you
do the miracles like and stuff like that
but we know what we’re doing man
we’ve been in relationships before
we know how to handle money
i mean
we know the type of house we need to
live in we know how to pick a city to go
start our business in
and he gives them an instruction
that is completely opposite of what
their profession teaches them
can i prove it to you
it tells us that they were out fishing
all night
why were they fishing at night because
if you’re a fisherman you understand
that the fish cannot see the net at
night so you go when it’s dark you let
down your nets and it’s easier for the
fish to be caught because it’s cool so
they come closer and you’re able to
catch them because they can’t see it
they are in broad daylight
fishing in the deep not the shallow
the exact opposite
of what makes sense
shallow
dark
daytime
deep this is what crazy faith
instructions look like
go to the north side plant a
multi-ethnic church
when it would be much easier to stay on
the south side and plant a white church
bishop and pastor debbie
why would you give me this crazy faith
this is exactly opposite
god says because
it don’t make sense
but it’s about to make a miracle
and somebody needs to hear me i keep
saying it because this
is the mark of unusual acceleration the
instructions do not make logical sense
they make miracles
it don’t make logical sense
for us to come in here six years into us
pastoring and make a decision
that this season is about expansion
do you know how comfortable it
comfortable it would be for me to say
team
we’re good
god’s done it we got the arena
we got the other building we got the
towers now
let’s just chill out
and see what god is doing
and you know what he’s going to tell me
the exact opposite
huh
god just want to steward well
you just try to use the word back on him
oh it’s working with you i mean it’s
working so i just want to store well
over what’s working
he said michael
this next year i want you to prepare
to take transformation outside of tulsa
i said to visit
see i’m giving y’all a little vision
he said
this place
will always be
the hub of what i’m doing
but when i gave you the vision in 2015
i told you four things
and you’re three for four right now
and i said okay go he said go back
listen
said uh
multi-generational got that
the oldest person on our staff i think
is 70 71 youngest is 18. okay got that
multi-ethnic if you look out in the
crowd right now you don’t know what kind
of church this is there’s black white
hispanic there’s all kinds of different
things got that
it’s multiplying there are millions of
people somebody from my team told me
just in the crazy faith series series on
youtube not what’s counted on sundays or
anything like that over 2.8 million
people have watched this series
so far in this y’all
multiplying
i’m good with those three
but he told me he said it needs to be
multi-campus
i don’t can i be honest with y’all don’t
tell god
i don’t
i don’t really want to
but my feelings
don’t matter
my obedience does
so i’m telling you i didn’t know i was
going to share this today
but part of the reason that we’re about
to give
in this crazier faith offering
is because in the next two years
god has told me we gotta leave
this place
and plant another campus
in a completely different state
that’s how it when you start talking
crazy and fake
oh what is what does that mean for me no
what did god say
what is that how does that affect no how
is it gonna affect what we’re about to
do mark my words
is obey god
and plan another campus
in another state we’re not going to
oklahoma city we’re going to a whole
other state somebody just started
praying right now in the chat somebody
said lord please arizona please
minnesota all i’m telling you is
why would god bring us this far
and not complete
what he said
can i tell you the principle that
activates this type of acceleration look
what it says when he finished speaking
he said to simon now go out where it’s
deeper and let down your nets to catch
some fish they had a rebuttal kind of
like i had master
we’ve worked hard all last night and
didn’t catch a thing
but if you say so
i’ll let down the nets again
the the reason you have to understand
that you gotta obey
it’s because what activates unusual
acceleration write this point down
is trusting that if you say so
y’all
the things that god’s showing me devin
i don’t have any reason to even want
them
like i don’t have any desire to go after
it
but my only reason why i’m following the
instructions
is because i trust her
if you say so
some of y’all this is gonna be the only
explanation
to what god is going to tell you to do
in this next season it’s not going to be
oh it makes sense and i can see how that
happens and i know that that’s going to
work out it’s going to literally be help
me if you say so
i’m telling you there has been more
miracles that have happened in my life
because i put my faith on god say so if
he tells me to plant it and let down the
nets in the middle of the day on the
other side of the boat
that don’t that’s stupid god
but if
you
say so
i don’t know who this is for
but some of you
have been looking
for a guarantee
and god
is going to give you an opportunity
no guarantee
just opportunity
and all you need to rely on is god
if you say so
give them that money
if you say so
serve that person
if you say so
leave the music industry and go
run sound for a church
if you i’m on this stage today
because i didn’t go
to new york or la with opportunities
i don’t know how long it’s been a minute
since i shared this story i got a
contract from a major record label and
when i was 24 years old
to get a hundred thousand dollars for
one year to produce for this record
company and i had the presence of mind
to pray about it and god told me listen
to how distinct this instruction is
if you go you will be successful but i
will take my hand off of what you’re
doing
why did i
stay cause he says so
oh you said no he didn’t say so he gave
you an option no no for me
i’m kind of like moses if you don’t go
with me
i can’t go if you not go i’m staying
right here
because i know i’m not good enough to do
this thing on my own
and so when he said you can go but i
ain’t going to be with you that was
already a noise like if you say so i’m
staying right here
and it was months after that that i
started serving as the sound man
and i went from the sound man of this
church
to the music director from the music
director to the to the youth pastor from
the youth pastor to the executive pastor
from the executive pastor to the lead
pastor and now i’m standing here with
you how did i get here
on god say so
if you want unusual acceleration let
down your nets again
try it again
do it again
it didn’t work last time but if he told
you to do it again
do it again
well i did it with this bank last time
go to the other bank let it down on the
other side same application same do it
again
there had to be a humbling of their
pride
to let down the nets again and the only
thing that logically changed is the time
of day and the side of the boat
the net is the same the people are the
same the boat is the same
oh
they had god in their boat
and some of y’all have been doing things
on your own power and god says but try
again with me
try again with me and the ball you’re
not the same person your attitude back
there was childish and tragic but i’ve
changed you since then and now i want
you to try again no no no no your
character they said no they had to say
no because if you would have got in
there you would have destroyed what i
had going but i changed you since then
and i did an unusual acceleration in the
change they thought they knew you and it
was last month but what i did in your
quiet time this month it changed you try
again i don’t know
it’s bamboo season god said it’s about
to grow
somebody shout at me try again
because these men trusted that if you
say so look at verse six and this time
oh somebody say this time
somebody say this time
that’s going to be your testimony their
nets
were so full of fish
that they begin to tear
and shout for help
brought their place aye
hey jerome
travon
chance
richard
we can’t handle all this blessing
it started
from nothing
and it escalated so fast
we can’t no y’all don’t hear me
we can’t handle all this
the mark of unusual acceleration
is that people get blessed
because of proximity
it didn’t say they were best of friends
it didn’t say they were partners in
business it didn’t say that they
believed the same thing it just said
they were close enough to hear the call
what god is saying is in this season you
better get around the right people
because when god starts doing the
acceleration oh y’all better hear me in
this place
it won’t be the people that you wanted
it’ll be the people who are close
what i’m saying to you
these men
happen to be in the deep too
remember the location
they not in the shallow
these dudes was out in the deep too
they put it out on the other side
so much happened they couldn’t handle it
and they had to call partners
and soon oh i love the word of god dale
both boats were so filled
with fish
with blessing with opportunity with
network
fill it in it was so filled with
everything they needed and wanted
they were on the verge of sinking
see we always ask god for a blessing
that feels comfortable
but what happens when it’s bamboo season
and god blesses you so much
that it feels like you’re sinking in it
see nobody talks about the backside of
the blessing
do you know all the hell that has come
with us owning all of these buildings
do you know that the blessing whoo is
heavy
some of y’all are praying i said it last
week some of y’all gonna hate the
harvest
because this is when you have to work
but others of us we’ve been enduring so
long
that our backs were built for it
the things that i’ve gone through
the
the people leaving the stuff that
happened it was all preparation
for the the stuff i’m dealing with now
this is little stuff and it’s god’s
stuff if he before me then who can be a
gift why am i tripping about what god
already said is gonna happen yeah the
promised land comes with some giants but
this day the lord of israel’s army is
the one who’s gonna take every giant
down
he goes before me
that don’t mean
that i don’t see the giants
and what i’m saying to you is
be ready
for unusual acceleration
because if you do not watch this
if you do not share it
it’ll drown you
if you don’t share the influence god
gave you
it’ll drown you
if you don’t share that income you just
i’m just storing it i’m just throwing it
i’m just storing it it’ll drown you
if you don’t put those talents to work
that god gave you and it comes into
bamboo season and now this track is here
and this song is here and this has been
and god’s saying if you don’t
partner
it will
drown you
activating unusual acceleration put this
point down
when this happens you’ll know because
you’ll be blessed to be a blessing
hear what i’m saying to you right now
the only reason that god blessed
transformation church
is because he knew
we would be a blessing
there are many people god is blessed and
they become a reservoir not a river
they hold everything
waiting for a rainy day
making sure that we protect
what god has built
if god built it he can sustain it
so if god asked me now y’all got to hear
me if god asked me to give
what i was planning to save
that means that i just sold something
that has been activated
in that sequence of help me
seed
sow
time
work
you will never get back what you sow
you’ll always get back more
than what you sow
so division
get back more division
so
unity
get back so much unity
sow finances
get back finances so help
get
god’s saying
so good things
so that you
can get
accelerated to the point
where it makes no logical sense
for you not to be sharing this with
somebody else the way god’s blessed our
church it makes no logical sense
for uh
i’m gonna go ahead and do it now tammy
okay so
tammy’s scared cause she don’t know what
i’m gonna do
okay so
there was a season of preparation
for us getting this building
when y’all don’t even really know about
this one but we bought a building
on 61st and peoria
it was like a gymnasium basically that
had a stage in it and this is when we
was like we’re about to go multi-campus
and god’s gonna take the world and we
had to use crazy faith
to buy this building for i think about
500 000 something like that we had to go
talk to bankers and have to make
presentations and had to believe the
church
get the church to believe and all this
other stuff and we went and had two
prayer meetings in that building
and we shall yeah
and literally outside the building it
said future home
of transformation church
walk the building did all these
different things and crazy right
and then god said
that’s what i needed to teach you there
you’ll never have a service there
hold on what
you taking us under for three years
we’re not gonna see nothing there
i stood up and told people we went to
the block parties we i’m telling the
people we about to be here
and god said i just needed to make sure
you were ready
for unusual acceleration
the year
after we closed all of that stuff and
got stuff patched up and did all that
stuff ready to move in
this comes available
that building that we were about to go
into could seat 250 people
that building could fit inside of this
building a hundred times
there’s no way anybody can convince me
that the reason that god
took us that way
was to make sure that we had the heart
to handle
unusual
acceleration
and the one thing i told the pastor
pastor humphries
before
we left that church is this church would
be used for ministry
so people have tried to come and buy
that church from us and buy that
property from us several times because
we can’t do we can’t fit there
right when the towers came available
i took the staff
over to this building and there’s
footage of it i want them to cut some
footage in of it so y’all can see it
um
that day
there was a church i believe it’s a
hmong church
or what kind of church was it a korean
church
that had been believing god for a
building
and this korean church
got the money together to buy this this
building from us
and the holy spirit said let them buy it
but the day they bought it tell me am i
telling the truth the day they bought it
the holy spirit said michael before the
end of the year
i want you to sow the entire building
back into them i want you to as a church
pay for
their entire mortgage so they can do
ministry completely debt-free
i was going to save it to the end of the
year
but god told me by your spirit right now
to let them know
that church
that is at 61 i need my church to start
shouting
we’re about to sow an entire church
into the city so that people can be
transformed it’s the bamboo season a
season of unusual acceleration somebody
give god some praise
you’re not praising like it happened to
you
and it’s okay
because it really is more blessed to
give
when they find this out tammy this week
the tears that’ll fall
the shout the pressure
that will be relieved
because the only reason god gives you
this
and i know dale somebody’s saying but if
y’all y’all could we’re literally going
to give them the money they gave us
we’re going to give it right back to
them
see some of you well that’s not good
stewardship oh you don’t understand
kingdom principles
when you sow
in bamboo season
this is the season to sow the reason i’m
telling you this is because it’s bamboos
when you sow in this season
it goes seeds
the more seeds you get in the ground
before the end of this year i’m speaking
but you can turn me off and i don’t care
because for the people who get it
natalie we’re going to sow more this
year than we’ve ever sown in our life
because if we sow
now
it’s bamboo season
what
hold on
it just hit me
b
we’re believing god
for a church
in a different state
and god just told me
to sow a church
y’all i’m sorry it’s happening it’s
happening oh shoot i i’m getting hot
i’m getting hot y’all
he told me
to sow a church it’s hitting me right
now
if we sow this church in bamboozy
i said two years
but who knows
who knows
who knows what god can do with my faith
who knows what god can do with our seed
who knows
when simon and peter realized what
happened
how the blessing just happened and
overtook them everybody’s standing come
on listen we’re about to get out of here
he literally
fell to his knees before jesus and said
oh lord
please forgive me
matter of fact leave me
i’m such a sinful man
for he was all struck by the number of
fish they had caught
as were the others with him
his partner james john and the sons of
zebedee were all
amazed jesus replied to simon
don’t be afraid
from now on
you’ll be fishing
for people
hold on wait
hold on wait
god
in a season
of unusual acceleration of bamboo season
will do something so great
that god’s goodness
exposes
your deficiencies
and you’ll start feeling like uh no no
not me god there’s no way i could pastor
this church there’s no way that you call
me to this vision there’s no way that
you’re doing and god said don’t be
afraid
i did this big miracle
and made you come in contact with your
humanity
so that then that same feeling
you will have for your real assignment
the fish
was the pre-show
the business being successful
is the pre-show
your family
being together
that’s
that’s the miracle before the miracle
transformation having all of this real
estate is the miracle
before the miracle
how do you know pastor mike
he said don’t be afraid
i thought he was gonna say something
like i am with you or
don’t be afraid cause we just you know
we just getting started
he said don’t be afraid because from now
on
we not catching fish like this no more
we’re going after people
hold on my business being blessed
is so that
people
can come into the king
the reason you’re doing this work in my
heart and my mind is so that
people the reason me and my wife are
going to counseling is so that once we
get in a place that we’re healed enough
to not bleed on people we’re actually
going to help other people that are just
like
us
activating unusual acceleration last
point is the acceleration is for
salvation
anytime god accelerates you
it’s not for the thing that you’re
getting
it’s for the person
who’s attracted to things
so god blesses you with the home
so now you have to have lawn service
at your apartment you didn’t need no
lawn service
at the apartment
somebody was out there doing it for you
but now you got blessed with the home it
wasn’t to stunt
it’s so you could come in contact with
more
people
and while you looking at your watch like
when are they gonna finish and when you
and god said
it’s time to go fishing
well i don’t have time to go fishing i
have emails to
and the reason the whole reason it broke
the whole reason he gave you all them
petunias and the the
the little azaleas and the
the whole reason
why the faucet won’t stop dripping
y’all
because there’s a person
that has to come into your atmosphere
that should be
an atmosphere filled with the presence
of god that should be an atmosphere that
is peaceful and has joy
and when they come into that place and
something
hits them
the acceleration
was for salvation can i tell you the
greatest story that happened
i took uh our oversight pastor pastor
tim ross to uh transformation towers
this past week
and as soon as i got in my little fob
thing wasn’t working to get in so i mean
the security over there is next level
like the security guy
pulled over like
i was like hey bro
i’m he it’s me yeah yeah i said
and he said uh what’s your name
i said my whole name michael alexander
todd finger
and he said oh you’re the pastor
i was like yeah
he said man
i got the assignment to come over here
and he reached in his pocket and pastor
tim as sure as i’m sitting here i didn’t
know what he was like this house going
in right at the towers with a guy here
and he about to
this man reached in his pocket and
pulled out a vial of anointing oil
and he said
they assigned me here from an assignment
downtown
and he said when i found out the church
was here he said i’ve been pleading the
blood of jesus over every door post over
the elevator i mean he started giving he
said where the blood of jesus is there’s
nothing that can happen and he start
going through the whole thing
mo am i telling the truth bro
this man
came in
with the oil
and he said
i’m believing that every person that
works in this building
comes in this building has to fix
something on this building is going to
find jesus
because they came in god’s house
what am i saying to you when they come
in contact with you when they work on
your car when they get in your upgrade
god said it wasn’t about the
acceleration it was about salvation
how do you know that p might
because they didn’t even keep the fish
the biggest day of their
business and literally the bible tells
us
that they left everything
and followed jesus
what happens when the thing you’re going
so hard after right now
god gives you
and it’s so unattractive compared to
following jesus
the things i used to want
the things that i used to desire
don’t even scratch the itch no more
because when you actually get a glimpse
of how good god is you become awestruck
god you use somebody like me
you trust me with that amount of
resource you allow people to wake up in
different countries and tune in where
they’re paying for wi-fi at the internet
bar they had to leave their house to
hear the message and the worship that
you gave us
go away from me god i’m not worthy he
said no
that’s exactly why i accelerated you
so that we could fish for the real price
people
don’t think bamboo season
is just for the blessing
bamboo season is for the people
caleb
what god’s about to do in our ministry
how he’s about to bless how he’s about
to expand the territory
it’s not about buildings
it’s not about vehicles
it’s not about institutions
it’s not about merch
it’s not about songs
it’s about say it with me people
the reason we’re going to sew on
december 5th
it’s not about money
it’s about that story we saw
at offering time about daya
at the end of their rope this church and
your generosity
bought a woman and her entire family
a home
it was about
people
and god’s not doing it for this
organization
and not doing it for the organism
somebody said god’s gonna do it through
me
come on just point at yourself put your
hand on yourself say god’s gonna do it
through me
can i say this last name the only reason
god does things externally
is so that he can transform you
internally
and it can change your eternity
say it one more time the only reason god
gives us these buildings and blesses us
with the home and gives us a better
paying job the only reason he does
anything externally
is so that it can transform me
internally
i know he’s faithful
i know he’s good i see his grace i see
his goodness he’s the god of the victim
he does something internally
and it can change me and others
eternally
this
is the bamboo season
it’s the season of unusual acceleration
hands lifted all over the world
i hear this
it’s a new season
and it’s a new day
a fresh anointing
won’t receive it it’s flowing my way

anointing
it’s flowing my way say
come on this is a season of power
for my parents for my business for my
mind
come on somebody say it’s a new season
if you believe in hands lifted all over
i want to pray for you
see this is one you got to snatch
and say it’s mine
amberley is bamboo season
everything that you thought was lost
every moment that you thought
i lost that in my childhood i lost that
in my teenage years i lost that no no no
snatch this one this is your season and
it’s gonna grow and it’s gonna go and
god’s gonna bless you to be a blessing
somebody receive it say it’s mine
father i pray
in the name of jesus
that as you told me it’s a bamboo season
i came out here by faith to declare it
and i declare it’s a new season people
where the land looks barren right now
and it’s been down for a long time
i thank you for unusual acceleration
father
come back
tomorrow and see the goodness of god
i declare that this time tomorrow things
are changing
this time next week things are changing
this time next month approvals are
coming this time next year we won’t even
look like the same person not physically
mentally emotionally financially father
it is bamboo season this is the moment
of unusual acceleration
and as a people
we receive
the word of god
by faith somebody say i receive
the word of god
by faith
said it’s a new season
say it’s a new season say it’s a new sea
all week no matter what it looks like

it’s bamboo season acceleration
share this with everybody fee somebody
say it’s a news
kaylee for you and your family declare
it
i will never be the same somebody says
it’s coming
it’s coming
so the last thing i gotta do
is i gotta give somebody the opportunity
who was like simon
who even through this message something
in you is saying no no god get away from
me like i don’t want
i’m a sin for man
and do you see what jesus did he came
towards
simon
and he literally said i’m not leaving
your boat
i’m staying right here
don’t fear
and today somebody needs to give
jesus control of your life
and he’s literally saying i’m not going
there i’ve been here
i i’ve been kind it’s been my loving
kindness that’s been drawing you that’s
me
that coincidence that what a coincidence
that was me
the reason you watching today all of the
situations that led you right here that
would be
because i love you
and i love you so much that i made a
plan that we could be in relationship
i sent my only son jesus to die on the
cross just for you all your sins all
your mess-ups all your shortcomings
so that we could be in a covenant
relationship
and i’m telling you as sure as i’m
standing here sweating and all red
that this was the greatest one decision
i ever made
to allow jesus christ to be the lord of
my life
it took me from being a liar somebody
who was addicted to pornography a
manipulator had all kinds of evil things
in my heart and god says yeah you just
give me your life
and if i can have your heart i’ll help
you change your habits
and today i’m not perfect but i’m
progressing i’m not who i was yesterday
i’m going towards something that god has
shown me and i’m telling you you can
come to
follow me as we follow christ
if you’re saying today i’m tired of
rowing away from jesus
i’m tired of going backwards i want to
move forward
today
you can be in the family of god
and we’re going to say a prayer
in just a moment and if you want to be
included in this prayer on the count of
three i just want you to lift your hands
the crazy thing about it there’s over 39
000 people who have given their life to
christ
this year through transformation church
oh y’all come on man
i said 39 000 people
that’s true fishing
that’s what makes me say lord ah
but today he said cast out the net again
here i am
casting out the net for the true catch
which is you
people
if you want to be included in that
prayer and give your life to jesus
on the count of three just lift your
hands one you’re making the greatest
decision of their life two i’m proud of
you but forget all of that your name
will be written in the lamb’s book of
life your eternity will have changed
three if it’s you just lift your hand up
in the air right now
there are people lifting their hand up
in the arena and there are people that
are lifting this their hand up as
they’re watching this all over the world
on rebroadcast
