and I’m so excited God’s riding a

special story at this church y’all and

some of you know that last week I was at

had the opportunity in the honor to

speak at elevation Church and I think

the coolest thing about it was that I

got to share it with you like when they

sent me video back of like everybody’s

hollering and screaming and clapping and

and everything I said that’s my family

like those are the people who believed

when we when there was nothing there and

they’re still faithful and serving y’all

do y’all realize we opened a third

service when the pastor was out of town

where that happened at and 300 people

showed up late yo yo yo yo yo yo

there are some churches that don’t have

300 people that come and we were over to

open up another that I’m just letting

you know that God’s up to something

you’re not part of just the church

you’re part of a move of God and I just

want to thank you as your pastor for

serving and giving and showing up and

telling people and sharing videos and

and if that wasn’t enough what God did

last week cuz some of y’all know the

testimony go back and watch the sermon

did we do this somebody made a video as

I say yeah that was like say see y’all

see me like what if you don’t know what

you’re talking about just go find it

it’s great but but it allowed people who

didn’t even know what we’re doing and

this is the thing I guess it means so

much to me cuz we’re doing our vision

we’re able to represent to the

lost-and-found

so the end goal can be transformation in

Christ can we thank God because he’s

doing something oh come on y’all he’s

doing something special

and we get to be a part of it and so I’m

excited y’all I’m about to preach this

pink suit off today because as I was out

I was coming home I felt like oh okay

I got the message out marked it was good

everything’s all right

all right on to gray cycle flood cuz

that series is gonna change everybody’s

life like I was so excited to preach

that

and God said we’re not done yet I said

what you mean we’re not done yet

I don’t I don’t have nothing else to

preach and on the way back from from

North Carolina as I’m sitting on the

plane God started downloading to me what

needed to happen on today and see this

is what the advantage of being a spirit

lead church is is that you can make a

plan but my plan is always plan B if God

wants to come in and do something

different I’m like Oh doggies freaking

messed up my plan like that’s not what

I’m doing

like I’m like okay guys you can do

whatever you want to do cuz obviously

you want to say something to your people

and so today I want you to sit up on

your seat and I want you to take notes

because I believe this is Rhema word or

a fresh word from God something that you

need for today and God told me this was

the the statement he said he said

Michael I want to revive my children’s

faith in me I want to revive their faith

and I’m beginning to look up that word

revive and it means to bring life back

to and there’s a lot of people this was

the influence that I got is that

people’s faith is not dead it’s just

discouraged like I believed before and

it didn’t work out or I tried and it

didn’t happen like he said it’s not dead

but maybe you’re just disappointed and

so you stopped believing for God to work

in that situation and I’m 40 Lord and

I’m not married so I guess maybe I’m

supposed to be single so I’m not gonna

keep believing for that or I don’t want

to look dumb anymore so I’m not I’m not

gonna do that and I came to encourage

somebody who’s been on life support I’m

here and I’m saying

Oh God is about to revive somebody’s

faith in the building today because what

I’ve noticed I’m already preaching if

you didn’t know you might want a kitchen

uh-huh see this thing is not going to be

something it’s so in me right now that I

feel like like like cuz I see somebody

about to take their last breath in an

area you’re about to give up you’re

maybe I’m not a business owner me maybe

I’m not supposed to complete school

maybe my child won’t be saved and God

saying before you take that last breath

I’ve interrupted the plan of this entire

church media was done graphic stuff was

printed stop it all cuz one of my

children needs to be revived and today

what I’m encouraging you to know is that

your faith is the ingredient that is

going to produce what you don’t even

feel is possible right now see the Bible

tells us and I want you to look at this

in Hebrews 11:6 Hebrews 11:6 the Bible

tells us that it’s impossible to please

God without this one ingredient and you

know if I was not a Bible reading person

the ingredient I would think right here

would be something different like I

would think like it’s impossible to

please God without purity like I got I

got to be pure and I’m gonna please God

he’s like well it’s impossible to please

God without knowing a lot of Scripture

nah well I mean those are all the

religious churchy things that people

would tell me that I have to do to

please God he said it’s impossible to

please me can I correct it for you

without faith the Bible says I search

the whole world and and I’m looking for

this one thing I’m not looking for

perfect people are not looking for

people who have it all together I’m

looking for somebody who has everybody

say faith and see the problem is when

our faith gets weak we stop going to God

for things

so when our faith gets weak we don’t

look to God as provider we look to our

job as provider come on let’s be honest

some of us haven’t had a raise in years

and we don’t believe it can happen and

we’re just stuck in this same place and

we’ve looked at this situation well god

I guess this is zero I’m just gonna what

God was never bound to that tool that he

uses to get you finances and that’s just

one tool see God is trying to break the

limits off of what you have been

thinking saying believing about your

marriage about your finances about your

your heart situation God’s saying I am

trying to let you know that you need

this one ingredient and it can change

everything somebody shout faith see many

of us aren’t even aren’t even excited to

say it because I tried that before I

believe before you’re I’m saying I have

faith that one time and look how it

turned out so I’m not gonna do this no

more and I came to tell you give it

another chance because God wants to

revive the dreams the visions the plan

matter of fact he wants to give you new

visions he wants you to see something

different than you’ve ever seen before

so it says without faith it is

impossible to please God

anyone who comes to him must believe

that God exists and that he is a

rewarder of those who sincerely seek Him

okay Pastor Mike I want to sincerely say

come I’m gonna give him one more chance

for God to revive me clear boom like I’m

I’m I’m gonna let him do it

but see this is the thing many times we

don’t understand how to get faith and so

I’m so proud of everybody who’s here or

who’s watching online right now because

you’re in the place to get faith look

what Romans 10:17 says it gives us a

formula if you’re ever low on faith this

is how you get faith it says so then

faith comes by uh oh that’s a problem

for most of us because faith is not just

hearing good things faith comes by

hearing anything and what happens is is

so crazy that we want God to do amazing

things in our life but all we’re hearing

is things that are speaking to the doubt

in our lives and I’m not even talking

about people I’m talking about the music

you listen to

oh yeah I’m coming for you today I’m

talking about the series that your

Netflix binging and it’s like oh my god

is just so crazy and they’re all in

sexual fin and all of us well after each

other and it’s a doctor’s theories and

all that other stuff and you wonder why

none of your relationships work cuz your

faith is built in something that’s

perverted and so you get in okay

somebody just looked at me and I was

like I hate that we came here but all

I’m trying to tell you is you’re

watching the news all day and looking at

the state of everything and and so it

makes you cynical about everybody

somebody’s actually trying to do

something nice for you but your faith is

built on lies because of what you’ve

been hearing I’m coming for you today

because God says when I ask you to step

out in faith to do that business your

faith will be built in something that

cannot sustain you it’ll be built on

what popular culture is saying and what

the banking system told you and what you

your faith is built this is what I’m

saying to you faith in facts go together

I need you to understand facts is what

it is faith is what can happen God is

not asking you to ignore facts he’s

asking you to apply faith to facts they

give you a bad doctor’s report I receive

that you say that I have that note see

y’all don’t see I receive that you say

that I have cancer but cancer is a name

in the name of Jesus is higher than

cancer and at that name we just sang it

do you believe what you’re saying what a

powerful name it is at that name every

knee will bow and every tongue will

confess so I’ll go through chemo for

this miracle you can see right now that

we’re gonna have to do some life support

on some people because your faith is

built on what it said not on who said it

what did God say about you you’re

standing at the brink of divorce right

now but you stood and you said ask for

me in my house we will serve the Lord

are you just gonna take it’s over are

you gonna stand up and say I’m gonna

have faith to believe and see

what happens is some of us are so

faithful to hearing things that don’t

feed our future like some of y’all have

been faithful to the Ministry of cardi B

this month oh did I say it yep and you

can talk about living your best life but

we’ll be living your worst life because

what’s being fed into you is something

that cannot hold you through the storm

but-but-but this is the beautiful thing

about this Roman scripture is that it

gives you the place where you should

hear and get your faith from faith comes

by hearing and hearing by the word of

what do you say a pastime like all I’m

supposed to do is listen to the Bible

this is my equation you should be taking

in more Bible than you’re taking in

anything else no no hear me I’m not

saying you can’t ever let this is my jam

okay I got jams too but what is my

consumption coz what goes in so when God

asks you to step out doubt comes out why

it’s cuz of what you’ve been putting in

when purity when you want purity lust

comes out why because of what you’ve

been putting in all I’m telling you is

that it’s time for us to get what the

Word of God says in us so much that no

matter what comes no matter who says it

no matter what they think I will be able

to stand anchored to the Word of God my

faith is not moved by a circumstance my

circumstance has to move because of my

faith that’s why the Bible tells us if

you have the faith the size of a mustard

seed you can speak to a mountain and

tell it to be moved you can speak to a

job situation that’s negative and tell

it to turn around you can speak to a

family that is dysfunctional and full of

secrets and tell it to come to life but

if the enemy can mess what you’re

thinking then he can mess with your

declaration and then he can get you not

to say anything that is the truth

you only rehearse the facts and today I

came to revive somebody’s faith that God

was to do something in your life that

allows his power to be seen and shown

because he

gonna work a miracle somebody shot at me

revive shout it against a revive so if

faith comes by hearing hearing the word

of God let’s go to the Word of God

there’s a story in 2nd Kings chapter 4

that that really hit me in a new way as

God said I want to revive my children’s

faith today I want them to know that I

can do a whole bunch with just a little

bit of their cooperation and there’s

this woman that we find in second kings

and I’m just gonna read on verse 6 just

so you can see and I’ll go back and tell

her story it says now it came to pass

that when the vessels were fooled that

she said to her son bring me another

vessel somebody say bring me another

vessel and he said to her there is not

another vessel so the oil ceased or the

oil stopped flowing the title of today’s

message is bring me another vessel

because as I begin to think about what

God wanted to do in our lives

this story jumped out at me because this

whole woman is like a lot of our

situations she starts off in a

discouraged situation if you read the

whole thing her husband just died so she

just is going through loss and you may

not going through a loss of your loved

one but there’s a loss of something loss

of a business loss of a relationship a

loss of the dream you thought was gonna

happen she’s going through loss so she’s

grieving a loss and then what happens is

she has damaged a lot of y’all do and

excuse me a lot of us do

and so there’s debt there’s financial

pressure she’s going through a loss and

now she has people coming after her for

her two sons see when you back in this

day if you had debt and you couldn’t pay

it they took your kids and some of y’all

like I would say do that again take her

jr. back like Jen said but but back in

this day that was taking away her

security protection and her work force

so literally her life could be in

shambles

because of the situation and then she

comes in contact with the man of God

named Elijah and something you got to

know about Bible study is all the

Old Testament Scriptures point back to

Jesus some way and it’s they call it

types and shadows and what ends up

happening is all the Old Testament

stories have have New Testament truths

and so in this story the woman is us and

then Elijah is Jesus in the story okay

so you kind of get a picture

so let’s paint this you losing something

you don’t have enough life looks bad you

come in contact with Jesus and like most

of us sometimes when I go to God I just

want him to feel sorry for me I don’t

know if you’ve ever now now I’m being

hot up here but sometimes I want like

God they don’t listen and my money is

funny in why did you send me through

this horrible situation and it’s almost

like you want kind of you know did that

happen to you oh we’re there yet out

kiddo

like you don’t even say you want any

okay am I the only one there’s anybody

else sometimes what God to just be like

no but what I found in the story of

Elijah as many times this is where our

faith stops because we get stuck in what

happened and this woman she meets the

man of God and she just tells him

everything that happened but I found

that God really didn’t want to talk much

about what had happened he wanted to

talk about what was happening and what

he could do what do you say a pastor

Mike some of us have to let go of what

has happened if your faith is gonna be

revived what has happened has happened

and what we keep doing is we keep going

back to replay and rewind and go back

what they hurt me and I was molested and

I was abused and I didn’t get into the

college and I didn’t and God says I know

I was there and now I’m here and what I

want you to do is I want you to give

that away I’m sorry that it happened I

have I have a plan of how I’m gonna

redeem all of that but we are paralyzed

here until you let it go and so what

ends up happening is this woman she

comes to Elisha with all of her issues

and then Elijah asked her to questions

that flip me out he didn’t ask her how

are you feelin cuz honestly feelings

don’t matter when you really need a

faith miracle many times we’re we’re

referencing our feelings well I don’t

feel like the Gaza I don’t your feelings

are not the barometer by which I’m about

to do this miracle it’s gonna be my face

somebody say my faith a lot of us have a

lot of feelings but we don’t have a lot

of faith and God wants to enact your

faith and so she comes to this man of

God and she tells him all the problems

and look what Elijah says in verse 2 he

says what can I do for you

like like what can I do for you now this

question is almost rhetorical and almost

a little insulting after I just told you

everything that’s going on my husband

dead my kids are about to be taken I

don’t have nothing my husband served you

what you think I want you to do for me I

want you to give me some money you know

I’m saying like you see the situation

but this is not a question of of even

referencing what she just said it’s a

question that God will ask all of us

when we want our faith to be revived and

God wants to move us forward he’s going

to ask you two questions the first

question is what do you want and that’s

a question of vision and most people

can’t answer this question see we’ve

been so discouraged that we won’t even

dream again we won’t get vision again

and so when God comes in and say what do

you want you don’t even have an answer

for it what is that thing that God has

placed in you that you see when your

eyes are closed that thing that person

that that that that that vision that God

is giving you that you see when your

eyes are closed and I’m talking to some

of you because some of you are thinking

like yeah I forgot about that or I put

that on the back burner and today God

wants to revive the vision because the

first thing God is asking you is what

you want right now if God sent somebody

into your life to pay off all your debt

you wouldn’t know the exact cent that

you would need you feel like I mean

something like 25,000 64,000 no no what

you

to do is get the vision of your stuff

being paid off you need sap need

sixty-two thousand three hundred and

sixty eight dollars and ninety two

percent why are you saying that Pastor

Mike because I got a vision of what God

can do in my life

see many of us just want the next thing

to happen my God if you could just do

better and God says I’m looking for

somebody to get a vision of what they

want what do you want I want to be

married I want to be successful I want

to stand in this place I want to go and

do overseas missions I want to work in

full-time ministry you have given all of

that up why cuz you haven’t written it

down it’s in your head and it’s not on

tablet but the word tells us in her

Becca to – if it’s a real vision you

write the vision down and you make it

plain so that people can read it on the

run what does that mean there are people

coming to run with me you don’t even

believe it there are people coming to

run with me there are people coming to

fund what God is going to do there are

people that are gonna say what do you

need but if the vision is not right

written down and if it’s not made plain

God never gives provision where there is

no vision

you sitting there brokers cuz you ain’t

got nothing to fund you’re sitting there

in this and I want you to see that God

in His grace and mercy is so good cuz

this woman didn’t have an answer how do

you know cuz Elijah just went to the

next question look at it he says what do

you want and she founds like most of us

wouldn’t well um and he said never mind

and then he asked her the next question

what do you have see God’s gonna ask you

what do you want first and then he’s

gonna ask you what do you have the thing

that I have to bring up is that God

never asked you what do you have first

because it’s not a matter of resource to

get God to do anything and most of us

are getting vision after we look at our

resource

what we do is we say what do we have

okay so since only I only have this then

this is all I can do God always ask you

for vision first he always asks you for

what you see when your eyes are closed

to see beyond your bank account to see

beyond tall sub to see beyond the north

north what is this North America no I’m

trying to tell you some of y’all are so

stuck right here and God says that my

plan for you is worldwide but you’re

looking at your resources you’re looking

at the fact that nobody in your family

has ever traveled out of Oklahoma or

Texas oh that’s real for people somebody

said that’s me here what I’m saying to

you what God is saying he never asked

you for resource before he asked you for

vision so stop putting a limit on your

vision because of what resource you have

right now so what he said he said okay

what do you want I don’t even know okay

what do you have and that’s the question

of inventory like like take an inventory

of what do you have what gifts do you

have what what skills do you have what

things that other people count out what

what are those things that God’s put in

your hand and this woman almost missed

her opportunity for her miracle because

she does like a lot of us she discounts

what we have look what she says he says

tell me what do you have in your house

and she said your maidservant has

nothing I just told you my husband’s

dead

these life circumstances I have nothing

well except a small jar of oil like I

got nothing but and God stopped me right

there and he said Michael what you’re

counting out is what I’m counting on

I want your nothing but see cuz a lot of

us are sitting here and God’s saying

don’t forget you’re nothing but like

like like like like don’t forget that

thing that everybody else has counted

out but it’s the little thing that you

have that I can use and see I see some

of us right now like I really don’t even

have any great like great features about

me I can’t do anything like I really

don’t have nothing but this ability to

organize and I don’t even know what God

would do with that I don’t have anything

but the ability to clean or I don’t have

anything but this little singing gift or

and God saying that’s all I need all I

need is all you have that’s all I need

see see I could have said the same thing

about me because when God called me to

Pastor this church and to run this

business to be the CEO of a million-plus

dollar company I had never been to

business school I have never been in

boardrooms and board meetings or

anything like that so when God called me

to do this we had this conversation I

said god I can’t do this because I have

nothing but the ability to tell stories

and God said all you have is all I need

I came to encourage somebody right now

who’s looking at your nothing but and

you’re saying god this is not enough and

God says what’s your counting out I’m

counting on what you what’s your what

your family told you was nothing is the

thing that’s going to bring the

breakthrough for your food for your

whole household that thing that

everybody has said was funny and not

really that good God says that’s what

I’m gonna use the Bible tells us he uses

the foolish things to confound the wise

your nothing but is going to create a

miracle but show nothing but like I’m

trying to tell you because somebody came

in here discouraged that all I have is

nothing but the ability to do hair and

God says I can use that if you’ll give

it to me and when this person started to

understand this small concept that God

told me he

said little is much in the Masters hands

like like what you realize my

storytelling ability that I said was

nothing but God said when you give it to

me I can make it into something that you

can reach the entire world with like do

y’all understand what I’m saying right

now when I go to sleep at 2:00 a.m. I’m

preaching somewhere around the world

through them the miracle of Technology

well because God took my little my

nothing but and I gave it back to him

and so this is the key when you when you

identify what you have in your house see

some of y’all you need to go back and

things that you have buried stuff that

you have stopped working on you got so

consumed with the career that you

stopped working on your gift and now

your gift is rusty and God is saying

pull that gift back up it’s time to

sharpen it’s time to work on it it’s

time to do something different than

you’ve done because you will live your

life for a paycheck instead of living

your life in purpose and when God says I

came that you might have life and life

to the fool he didn’t mean for you to

just exist but he’s looking for faith

and so I’m coming to revive somebody’s

faith today because it’s gonna take you

having to listen to the Word of God and

be able to get out and say what do I

want write the vision make it plain and

then take an inventory of what is in

your house and then God because this is

the thing y’all think that this is new

for you but God’s been doing a lot with

a little for a long time do I remember

the story of the fish into loaves where

they were like how we gonna feed all

this people and one of the disciples

came up and said we have nothing but a

Long John Silver’s snack pack that is

not gonna feed 25,000 people and God

says give it to me and he blessed

they’re nothing but and broke they’re

nothing but and provided for they

nothing but and they ate plenty because

they turned and gave what was little to

the master I’m asking you to have the

faith today to give

you almost counted out I want you to

give it to God somebody say revive so

look she takes her little bit of oil and

then she listens to what the man of God

says and looked at verse three he says

go which I have to stop here because

that means faith is an action word so

like if I’m just sitting here waiting

for God to do something he’s sitting

there waiting for me to do something my

god you just told me to wait on you you

can at least pray consistently every day

for 10 minutes 20 minutes an hour you

can be faithful there’s an action that

has to go with your faith and a lot of

us are sitting and waiting for God to do

something but he’s waiting for you to

enact the miracle on your behalf if you

read through the scriptures a lot of

times when it says according to your

faith be it unto you according to your

faith what is saying is whatever you got

the faith to believe the woman who was

healed with the issue of blood the only

reason she was healed is because she had

the faith that when she reached out and

touched to him of his garment that she

was gonna be healed somebody could have

seen that same miracle and tried to do

it but not have the faith see this is

the thing you can replicate what

somebody does but if you don’t have the

faith that they had the miracle still

won’t happen and so what what you see is

a lot of people doing things that people

did but they don’t have the faith to

believe that God can do it and so you

got to go and look what he told her to

do he said I want you to go verse 3 I

want you to borrow vessels from

everywhere from all your neighbors empty

vessels and do not gather just a few

point number two you need to borrow some

vessels and and this is the the fun

point for me because it freed me because

for some reason I don’t know where I got

this from but I felt like if God was

gonna do something special in my life

it had to be exclusive like nobody else

could have experienced this or gone

through it before but the beautiful

thing about this is a lot of us don’t

know where to start when it comes to

doing what God has called us to do a lot

of us don’t have the things that we need

to see the miracles

what this man of God said is you can go

out and you can borrow vessels to be

able to do and get ready for the miracle

that I’m about to do what does this

practically mean you don’t have some of

the education that you need for the

miracle that God is going to do so you

can go borrow a vessel borrow an idea

borrow a thought process borrow somebody

else’s way that they did it you do not

have to originate what God is going to

have to do you got to try it on and see

if it fits

and if it doesn’t fit you can try

something else on and see if it fits and

if it doesn’t fit you can try something

what are you saying Pastor Mike you can

have a borrowed vessel but you got to

use your own oil see a lot of people are

out here and they’re like well I just

don’t know what to do if you saw a

business plan that worked and you feel

like this is what God is calling you to

do and you go have a meeting with those

people and you get some ideas come back

home pray on for that thing and ask God

God I borrowed this vessel of how to do

this god I think you that as I pour my

own oil into this you’re gonna create a

miracle in my life some of us are so

stuck up and prideful that we won’t ask

anybody for help

we won’t borrow no vessels and God begin

to talk to me he said Michael for what

I’m about to do in your life I gave

three qualifications I need you to

borrow different vessels different than

you have in your home the thing that the

Bible doesn’t say but you have to assume

is that she already had some vessels in

her house like she probably had some

things already in her house but the

strict instruction was you need to go

borrow vessels from everywhere borrow

some stuff that you don’t have different

sized vessels different shaped vessels

things that didn’t originate in your

home things that you didn’t already get

go borrow some vessels bone from your

neighbors but all from people that you

don’t know borrow ideas and thoughts and

and different things for people and I

want you to bring them into your house

and pour your oil into what are you

saying to me past my this week god

challenged me he said Michael I’m about

to do something in your finances start

preparing your vessels I said what that

mean he said I need you to go borrow

some thoughts from people that don’t

think like you

so I said no that’s rich see y’all

missed it I got a part I wasn’t raised

in affluence I wasn’t right

I have poverty mindsets that are still

on some of the things that I do and you

so prideful that no I have it all you

broke and God is trying to deliver you

from mindsets and generational habits

but you won’t borrow no vessels and so I

went I had the number of a bank

president in my phone so I just text him

out of blowing talk to him in months I

was like hey um this is random uh would

you have 15 minutes to spend with me I

just want to ask you some questions and

I walked into this man’s office he said

what do you need I see it I need wisdom

I need to borrow some vessels I need to

borrow some some thought processes so I

can set myself up for what God’s about

to do and he looked at me he said you

just want to ask me question you don’t

need any money I said no no no I don’t

need your money

God’s got that I need I need how you’re

thinking if is what I said to him I said

if I was your son what would you advise

me to do with what I’m standing here and

y’all I went and borrow some vessels

this man we were supposed to have a

15-minute meeting can I give can I give

some instruction to young people don’t

ask people to be your mentors go in with

good questions that 15-minute meeting

turned into hour hour and a half that

this man cancelled other things to

continue to give me vessels to set up

when you think about real estate think

about this when you think about just

sector and God God said Michael now you

take those vessels and set them out

before me he said but he can’t pour his

oil into these vessels you’re gonna have

to pour your oil and so what I’m telling

you is it’s time for you to borrow some

different vessels it’s time to you to

read some stuff that you ain’t read

before and get God to give you some

different trains of thought your whole

family angry you need to book read a

book on peace don’t mad y’all all mad

y’all all angry everybody it’s hard no

it’s y’all it’s everybody in your family

maybe you need to you’re so busy maybe

you need to read something you need to

get another thought process and when you

borrow these vessels when you borrow

these things then God says I’m not

limited to your current current

situation cuz I want you to do something

different I’m not limited and this is a

funny thing the the type of vessel that

you have to borrow is it says you need

an empty one and the funny thing about

this is so many times we have things and

ideas and dreams that we’ve put hurt and

unforgiveness and fear of failure and

all that and God says I need you to turn

those vessels over an empty amount cuz

this new thing I’m about to do is not

relegated to the past and what has

happened I need empty vessels

well I joined a church before and they

took advantage of me and so that’s why I

come here I sit on the backroom and I

don’t want to do anything empty a vessel

because you’ll never get to see the

miracle that God wants to do in your

life if you’re still holding something

in it and then it said borrow a lot of

vessels like I want y’all to read this

is that don’t borrow a few and so many

of us are just believing that God would

make our job better and our marriage

happy and God says is that all you want

is that it because whatever you have the

faith to prepare for is what I’m about

to fill up whatever you have the faith

that’s what I’m trying to revive your

faith whatever you have the faith to set

out and say God there is nothing here

and I got nothing but this but God says

if you would believe me and set it out

in faith I’m the only one that can take

your nothing but your little bit of oil

and when you start pouring it turn it

into a miracle God is about to revive

you and your family he’s gonna revive

your dreams I don’t care if you caught a

case God says your latter days will be

greater than your former see this is the

problem of God blesses what you prepare

for so when you have an expectation

without preparation you get frustration

see a lot of us want God to do something

but we won’t prepare for it so we get

frustrated and all I’m asking you to do

is go open the bank account

ain’t got no money in it right now but

go open it prepare for God to fill it

cuz I’m like that sounds dumb

that’s not trying to make sense he’s

trying to make a miracle but it’s gonna

take do you think that Noah it made

sense for everyday for him to get out

there and build an ark for 50 plus years

do you don’t you think that people were

laughing at him and they was laughing

all the way til they started drowning

did you understand what I’m saying to

you it may look stupid until it works

that’s why you don’t need everybody

co-signing what you’re doing in this

season that’s why you don’t need

committee approval that’s why you need

to obey God stay in his face get faith

and do what he tells you to do so this

woman had enough faith look at verse 4

it says and when you have come in and

you shall shut the door behind you and

your sons then pour into all those

vessels and set aside the fool ones so

she went from him and shut the door

behind her and her sons who brought the

vessels to her and she poured it out

point number three shut the door and

pour see what I’m telling you right now

is God is trying to do something in you

that is going to be a miracle and every

time that you look at what you have and

what God is asking you to do it’s not

gonna make sense but he said pour it out

see that was the thing that she had to

have the faith to do is pour it out God

said I gave you that idea to do

something with paper and little rubber

bands and I want you to put it on it see

and I want you to sell it for five

dollars and your family’s gonna be like

that’s stupid

don’t do that don’t ask them shut the

door and pour this is this is not about

everybody God told you to go back to

school and you don’t have the financial

aid and all this other stuff and then

you want to go ask your friends do you

really think fancy going to school it’s

just been so much shut the door and pool

because everybody’s not gonna have the

faith for the miracle God’s gonna do in

your life you cannot broadcast and do

this thing in the public square you

cannot be in front of everybody because

they

poke holes in your faith and tell you

why it can’t happen and why it won’t

happen and what you can’t do you know

when I told people we were gonna have a

multi-ethnic Church in north Tulsa they

told me it could not happen but back

then they didn’t want me now I’m hot

they all say is that what I’m saying

people are calling to figure out how do

you have white people and black people

and old people and young people it’s

stupid until it works like like but

listen if I would have called all my

pastor friends together who have not

been able to do this to ask them is this

a good idea this would have never

happened

shut the door and pour I came to

encourage somebody who’s God’s giving a

brand-new fresh idea to he’s going to

ask you to do something that doesn’t

make sense

and I’m telling you it’s time for you to

shut the door and pour pesum like that’s

lonely

cuz nobody’s gonna clap for me God says

I’m done cheering you on the whole way

I’m on yo do you remember if God be for

you who can be do you know who I am I’m

the god of the living yo listen hear me

come hear me what God told me the other

day as he said Michael your plan with me

backing it is better than your plan with

any man backing it

living witness that what God wants to do

in your life it can’t be a public

spectacle spectacle you might have to

shut the door

and pour this woman shuts the door with

her son’s they go out and borrow vessels

and this is a beautiful thing they

borrowed as many they had as many

vessels as they had faith for him he

never told him how many to borrow so if

they only had the faith for three that’s

what he filled up but if they had the

faith for 300 that’s what he filled up

what are you saying Pastor Mike I want

you to bring God another vessel it’s my

last point today it’s time to bring him

another vessel because some of us have

stopped having faith to go and say God

well could you could you really heal my

son I mean he’s been out there doing all

kind of stuff but could you ever really

heal him so he could live the abundant

life you called him to her father could

you ever really heal our family cuz

we’re dead we’re jacked up we met we

messed the hell up like we are

I don’t even look forward to Christmas

or Thanksgiving just because we’ve so

much heard in secrets dark things and

people don’t know who their father is

and we don’t come on

but God should I even have the faith to

believe you for this vessel to be filled

up and God you know I I’ve always since

I was young wanted to travel the world

but I’ve never been on a plane before

I’m 27 and I see Rome and I see Italy

but all I see is cahuita and Tahlequah

steel water no come on y’all I’m talking

about real stuff should I set the vessel

out that I’m gonna travel the world and

declare and God says whatever you have

faith just set out is what I can feel

look look at it verse 6 now it came to

pass and I believe that’s what God wants

you to be able to say as you set your

faith out there one day you’re gonna be

saying and it came to pass I even filled

by the spirit there’s somebody that’s

been trying to have kids and you’ve try

very every fertilization treatment and

you’ve done all this stuff and you just

say okay well maybe maybe I’m not

supposed and I’m just challenging you

set the vessel out against it set it out

again with the renewed faith that you

know what if God doesn’t is okay but he

can’t do it if I don’t give him the

ingredient of faith see so many of us

are worried about God not doing it he

can’t do it if you don’t give faith so

imma set my part out there God do what

you will I’m gonna put my faith on it do

what you will and so I’m gonna put my

faith out there and when the vessels

were full I just think about the story

like if I was there in the moment and

one of the sons like the little that she

had the nothing but she probably the

first time she had said all the vessels

out didn’t even look when she started to

pour it out she first like this is God

we’re gonna pour it what Yahoo it’s full

okay okay okay don’t drip yet cuz that’s

just one time that God came through

let’s see if they’ll do it again I’m

gonna kind of started tithing in the

wait till I get my money right series

and I’m just gonna try it one more time

y’all it was so nice he did it twice and

I bet what ended up happening is there

was a confidence that begin to build on

her and she turned over what she had it

wasn’t that the oil was growing in the

bottle it was it just kept coming as she

poured it out and see a lot of us are

trying to see God fill it up so then it

makes sense that we pour it out fill it

up but it’s just as I try it as I do it

as I tipped it over as I keep serving as

all y’all better hear me as I play as I

give as it it just keeps filling it up

and I bet she got confident I got way

along tap what do you mean she just kept

going because the same God that did it

back here it’s the same Oh y’all better

help me that did it here the same guy

that got me to college it’s the same guy

that’s gonna bring me through it it’s

the same guy that’s gonna pay off this

debt somebody shot it’s the same guy

your face better be revived at the same

God that got you out of that broken

relationship it’s the same God

who’s they’ll bring you into your

perfect it’s the same guy now look it’s

because she shut the door

and pores and she sees a miracle

happening but the saddest thing happens

in the six verse she tells her son bring

me another vessel and her son had to say

to her there is not another vessel can I

say it another way we didn’t have the

faith to prepare for anything else

we didn’t we stopped setting out our

dreams in the book we stopped setting

out our own business in the website we

stopped setting out that our father

would be saved and our girlfriend would

be changed and we stopped setting out

the vessels and and look what happened

when they found out there was no more

vegetable vessels they said so the oil

stopped flowing its ceased what did this

tell you if you prepare for God to fill

it up

he won’t stop pouring and filling them

up until you stop having the faith to

set them out at the moment you settle

that’s the moment that the vessels will

stop being filled I’m telling you take

the limits off of what God can do

through you you want to see a business

come out of you and you’re 60 years old

but God has placed some money in so set

the vessel out and begin to you want to

go back to school and get your master’s

degree set the vest write the vision

down make it plain you want to work in

ministry and be full-time and that set

the vessel out and obey God and shut the

door and pour well you will see it’s

what I think God’s saying to all of us

just bring me another vessel yo I’m the

same God that kept doing oh you doubt me

oh you don’t think I’ll do it for you

see people have a problem because

especially church people they don’t have

a problem believing that God can they

just have a problem believing that he

might do it for them and today I wanted

to come to revive your faith

bring out another vessel

bring them your marriage bring them your

career yeah no it didn’t work last time

I could have been we didn’t really have

the faith to believe but today if you

were here last week you know you’re

marked by God and now you got to put

some action I’m gonna bring out another

vessel I’m gonna bring in my attitude

you know what my attitude is bad yes it

is I’ve got a revelation I mean

because you have to be self-aware I am a

mean person yes I got it

I come rightfully okay I’m gonna I’m

gonna set out this vessel and ask God to

change my character fill me with the

fruits of the spirit

love Jordan come on set it out I am I

meet I got to lose some weight

I there’s some clothes I want to wear

Hey I felt the Lord that my midsection

does not agree with but even more than

that God’s putting another demand on my

voice and I gotta travel I preached four

times in two days last week and um I was

good the whole time

and Monday it felt like I got hit by a

truck and God said I only can bless you

– what you prepared for y’all I started

all kind of stuff this week I’m doing

Herbalife walking I’m doing I’m no no no

cuz I won’t be the reason that God can’t

use you

[Music]

so I set out the vessel god I need to be

healthy I need to be able to get off the

road freezing five times and then have

the energy to go to the park with my

kids because I don’t want them to be I

don’t want to be a public success and a

private failure I got a big job here I’m

saying set out the vessels I don’t know

what it is for you set it out cuz

Ephesians 3:20 says now unto Him who’s

able to do exceedingly abundantly above

all you can ask think or imagine it

never is about God’s ability like this

woman it’s about hour of fail ability

will you have faith to set out the

vessel somebody say revived
