We have a plan from God for our lives. But how can we start seeing it? Sow into it! If we want to see God’s vision for our lives come to pass, we must begin by giving to it before we even see any kind of change. Pastor Mike shows us how things can change when we sow it before we see it.
today we are in week six
of a series we’re calling crazier faith
and today
i have a special assignment from god
to talk and preach
through a message
that is so powerful
and it’s a powerful piece of scripture
but i need us to set some parameters
before i go into this scripture
i need you to allow me to teach this
scripture outside of the box it was
introduced to you in
okay
when i say this scripture you’re gonna
think something automatically
i want to step outside of the box that
you would normally hear this scripture
in
and i want to reveal
a crazy faith principle
that will literally change the
trajectory of your entire life can we do
that together i said can we do that
together
so today i want to read second
corinthians chapter nine i’m gonna read
verse six all the way through verse ten
and the box that this scripture is
usually in
is in the offering box
you only hear this scripture
when people are talking at offering time
there is no offering being taken today
no second offering
no hundred dollar lines
nothing’s happening
i want to teach you a principle
that will change
your
life are you ready
i said are you ready
second corinthians chapter nine verse
six
it says remember this
whoever
so sparingly
will also reap sparingly
and whoever
sows generously
will also reap generously
each of you
should give what you have decided in
your heart to give
not reluctantly or under compulsion
for god loves a cheerful
giver
and god is able to bless you abundantly
so that in all things
at all times
having all that i like all them all’s
right there that’s a lot of us
that god
in all things at all times having all
that you need
you will abound
in every
good work somebody say amen
sit down
as i walk you through
this
crazier faith principle
i gotta go back up
to the beginning in verse six
cause
he’s saying the apostle paul
is saying remember this as he’s talking
to the church
of corinth
he’s saying remember this everybody say
remember this
that means don’t forget it
that means when you get busy and blessed
don’t forget this
that means when god does answer the
prayer and things start going good and
you don’t need as much prayer time
because you feel like you got what you
asked for don’t forget this
remember this and these two words mess
me up
whoever
[Music]
who
ever
sows
if y’all get this it changes everything
it literally says
whoever and this when i see whoever in
the bible is an indication that this is
not for special people
it is a principle in the earth
and most believers get out of
um character and bent out of shape when
they see people who don’t believe in god
like they do
prospering in ways that they don’t
oh i’m coming to your house today well
they live like that and how does that
happen because they’ve caught the
whoevers of the bible
[Music]
they’ve caught the principles
that create a life the sad thing is they
don’t get to take it with them so they
can have all of this on earth but it
mean nothing in eternity because they
never caught the second half of it but
they live in
good on earth while you live in hell on
earth
cause they caught
the principles of everybody say whoever
write this point down
whoever gets this
gets this
so get this
or let me say it in a different way so
you can get it whoever gets this
principle that’s about to be shared in
the word of god
gets this promise
so get this please
i’m asking you to check in for the next
45 minutes
to get this one principle
and the other thing that everybody has
to know whenever the bible says whoever
whoever includes your haters
whoever includes the people that hurt
you
and whoever includes the people that
live like hell today
and you think that you should be better
than them
god has made promises that and
principles that live on the earth that
apply to them too
sit with it
because most of you
are mad
at somebody who has seemingly what you
want
but they didn’t have to go through what
you’re going through to get it first off
you don’t know their story
first thing
second thing is
god allows his principles
many of them to work for the just
and the unjust this the bible people
don’t preach because it makes you locked
into religion by fear
well i got to do it like this because if
i don’t do it like this god won’t bless
me there are people out here living
completely opposite of god
but have tapped into principles
that the church
is
missing
and all i’m saying is don’t live like
them but don’t miss this
hear what i’m saying somebody shot at me
whoever
okay
now there’s a principle it comes right
after the word
whoever
write this down underline it make it big
get a tattoo of it on your face
souls
whoever
sows
everybody say so
that’s the principle i want to give you
in crazy faith today
because
many people in the body of christ
have been void
of
sowing
god spoke to me so clearly mike and he
said to me he said michael
he said my people
are believing
for a forest where they’ve never
planted a seed
crazy faith you ain’t sown
one seed
i’m gonna have a business with all these
people who work with me and they’re
passionate and you don’t serve nobody
i’m about to take over this territory
and see god do a math move and you’re
not a part of a church
you have not
sown
and when i looked at this
i started to think
whoever can sow
whatever according to the scripture
the reason i’m taking it out of this box
is so that you know that this scripture
is talking about money but it applies to
everything look what it says who overs
whoever so sparingly will reap sparingly
and whoever sows generously will reap
generously you can sow your time your
talent and your treasure
you can sow information
influence and ideas you can sow a
platform a plug you can serve could so
connections and contacts but you’re
stingy
and god said why would i trust somebody
who won’t sow what i’ve already given
them
with more so they don’t sow that
today
i want to ask you
if you have the faith
to sow what’s in your hand
yeah yeah and i know like you think oh
get just offering out your mind for a
second
what’s in your hand
what gifts and talents has god given you
that are becoming decrepid
because you won’t give them away
well that idea is just for it no no no
that idea was a seed
it wasn’t the harvest
it wasn’t the fruit
it was just the beginning somebody say
just the beginning
the best thing that god’s ever given you
was a seed
and
right now people are protecting seeds
when they should be sowing them
i’m about to preach this thing oh it’s
kind of starting off a little slow no
i’m about to teach you how to sew
about to teach you a principle y’all see
how hype i am already i’m trying to
control it i’m trying to teach you a
principle that ended me up on this
platform today i’m trying to teach you a
principle that took us from not having
anything to now being an answer to
people’s prayer i’m trying to take you
and the principle
is that if you do not sow now it will
never grow
the seed outside of the soil cannot grow
there are non-profits you should be
sowing your life into right now
cause 10 years from now
it’s going to grow into a tree that
everybody will eat off of but right now
cause you don’t got the time
and it doesn’t work with my schedule
you spent seven hours your iphone told
you scrolling this week
when you could have sold that seven
hours
into something that would show back up
in your life
but i understand
we don’t think
the way
that jesus talks in the bible do you
know over one-third of his analogies
were about farming
jesus talks about sowing and reaping
all through the bible
and i begin to study
in this six week of crazier faith
what is going to unlock
the forest of your faith
because there y’all i need y’all to get
the imagery of this
the forest of your faith the thing your
grandkids will be able to walk through
and say dang
my granddaddy believed god
my grandmama was sowing seeds when i
wasn’t even thought about
did i just get through college
with no debt
because of the seeds
of my mom
did i just gain a spiritual inheritance
that just dropped down i don’t know i
just have something
am i being provided nourishment and
nutrition
from something i didn’t eat it’s the
forest
of your faith
that starts off
as a
seed
the business
the book
the buildings
god will never give it to you finished
he’ll give it to you as a
seed
i want to bust somebody’s
magic bubble
in christianity
you pray for
what you think you want
and god gives you the baby version of
what it can be
in the book when i talk about baby faith
i’m trying to give everybody
the formula
for seeing
what god wants you to see remember last
week i talked about see it before you
see it
this week i want to talk about sow it
before you see it
you’re never going to see it
until you sow it
let me ask you a question because it got
heavy in here real quick and some of
y’all like what is about to happen stay
with me
let me ask you a question
which one of these three people have
more faith the first one i’m going to
put it up on the screen this is a
multiple choice
question for you
this is a tight
rope walker
would you say that this person has faith
most of us would be like he has craziest
faith like that don’t make any sense
there’s somebody else that many of you
would say had faith put it up there for
me this is a skydiver anybody ever been
skydiving before
one black person in the room okay so uh
your pastor has been skydiving my wife
for some reason thought it was a good
thing for my 26th birthday to throw me
out of a plane
so i’ve been skydiving
and most people would think that this
person has faith
but according to scripture in the
kingdom
the person who
has more faith than both of these people
is this guy
a farmer
now he’s not up on a tight
rope
cascading two mountains
and he’s not
flying ten thousand feet up in the air
but he understands
faith
he understands that for you to see a
harvest
there has to be a seed sown
the title of my message is faith like a
farmer
sow it
before you see it
faith like a farmer
sow it
before you see it this message is
counter-cultural
it’s kingdom
so it’s going to bother your insides
because some of you are counting how
little you have right now
some of you at this moment you’re
turning your heart and your brain off
because you’re saying to me well you
don’t know what i’ve been through and
you don’t know how the pandemic hit me
and you don’t know what i just lost and
you don’t know how that investment would
sound i’m telling you
that if you want your faith to go to a
crazier level
you need to have faith
like a farmer
can i prove it to you genesis chapter 8
verse 22 after god is done with humanity
and wipes that whole mug out with the
flood and only leaves noah in his family
he’s like i’m sick of these people i
created i’m done with them it’s how some
of y’all wish with y’all kids and y’all
be like just go in your room i can’t
stand you you look like your daddy like
that
like
god was done with us
and then he
sits down in the recliner of heaven and
and just
chills out for a second and who says
he’s like you know what i messed up i
blew up on y’all
i’m gonna make a covenant with you
and i’m never gonna destroy the earth
again
but there’s some principles i’m gonna
put in place
that will be a covenant with creation
i’m i’m trying to teach you
to unlock this next level of crazier
faith
god’s covenant with creation genesis 8
22
while the earth remains
so you’ll be gone before this doesn’t
exist anymore
there will be seed time
and what harvest
now we we read that and it’s like yeah
let me see eternal harvest okay keep
going cold and heat winter and summer
and day and night shall not cease
chapter ends
what
like there are four things that he uses
to illustrate to us
this
dynamic that he wants to know will
always be on the earth
day and night oh we got that like that’s
when i go to sleep and that’s when i
wake up day and i got that
winter and summer yeah
it’s fall right now i’m gonna get my
winter clothes on and in summer it’s
gonna be sun’s out guns out we get that
cold and heat
my wife
is in love with the cold
i freeze every day of my life in my
house
and i don’t know what it is to have heat
in my house even though i pay for it
but i understand the concept of
cold and heat
but most believers
because we live in such a technology
advanced time
we don’t understand
the principle
of seed time
and harvest
this is what we think it is
say time
harvest
that’s how we read it
as long as ours will surrender oh i love
this part this is where god does this
thing same time
harvest
we think it’s that quick
and we think god has failed
when i gave my seed
i applied for the job
i went and finished school
well i’m not a millionaire
why don’t people know my name
why i’m not i’m not distinguished yet
because you read the words and didn’t
get the principle
see time
harvest
in a generation where everything is
about instant gratification we miss
kingdom principles
it’s not sea time
harvest
it’s not start a church
go
viral oh y’all know
y’all think i started when
transformation church blew up
do you know how many i asked my wife the
other day how long have i worked at
transformation church greenwood
13
i started off as the sound man in this
church
sowing
seeds
[Music]
what you’re looking at today
is the
harvest
but what you didn’t see i’m about to
preach this thing
it was every day i showed up every week
in ransom when it was 35 a week to run
sound
and i was driving a 15 passenger van at
that time so 35 y’all think i’m playing
my mama laughing on the front row 35
would get me a fourth of a tank in that
big old ship
i wasn’t doing it for money
i was doing it for my future oh y’all
missed it i wasn’t doing it for
accolades i was doing it because it was
my assignment
[Applause]
i was sewing
and i knew it was seed time
but
sometimes i like to deconstruct the word
because it helps me get it better
so seed time
is one word but god said read it slower
michael and so i was like seed time
harvest it’s like slower
seed
time
harvest
i was like huh he says read it even
slower
seed
time
heart i don’t want y’all to miss this
come on just say it slow with me
seed
time
harvest
god said the principle
is that every seed you sow
has time attached
that there is a ticking time bomb
on every seed you sow
that if you plant it in right soil
it’s just a matter of time
that that mug has to there is a
principle in the earth
it has to break through
and many of us have not understood
seed
time
[Music]
because that’s what it feels like
sometime don’t it
[Applause]
you thought it was coming
right after you shouted
he said possible god didn’t talk about
went to church yesterday
got out about 1 15.
1 30.
ah got a call and it was heart baby
[Music]
you might be shouting today
for what you see in three years
[Applause]
i know i know i know that’s why some
people’s praise is ignorant because they
know the more that they praise all
they’re doing is sowing seeds into their
future some of y’all only praise when
you see it happen others of us we begin
to praise god in advance because i know
i’m just so in seed i’m just so in seed
and there’s going to be time and i
promise there’s going to be a what
however
yeah
yeah
i’m gonna walk you through this today if
you got something else to do if the game
is on go ahead and watch it but don’t
don’t play yourself
and miss the principle that would change
your life so then
i cross reference this
because we don’t understand farming
how many farmers do i have watching
right now hands raised in the chat and
mom put your hands down my mother-in-law
put her hand up you ain’t been on a farm
in six decades
she said sit down
any farmers in the
i don’t see no hands in here in the chat
maybe two or three
if you don’t understand the parameters
of
how somebody lives their life
you miss the revelation that may be in
there
so i started studying farming this week
and what i found is that the bible
was not incomplete
but it just left out some details that
we don’t think about remember what i
said the formula was it was
seed
time
and what
heart
but they forgot something that i found
in second corinthians it said remember
this remember our anchor scripture
whoever
souls
hold on
seedtime harvest
seedtime harvest
i don’t see sow in there
see time harvest
so that means you can have a seed
and if you don’t sow it
it doesn’t matter how long you wait
you won’t see a
i just need to make sure the bible said
see
time
heart you can hold your seed
you can eat your seed
you can wear your seed
you can
if you don’t
sow your seed
you will never reap your harvest
i’m trying to help somebody because
right now
what you’ve been sowing you’ve been
seeing and it’s nothing cause you ain’t
so nothing
well i thought god was for me he is
and that’s why he placed all them seeds
in you
and you at home praying when you should
be plowing
[Applause]
you’re praying why you should be plowing
you should be in somebody’s field
picking up dirt and planting
seeds
seed
sow
time
harvest
i just expanded it for you i need you to
write that out c
so
time
and then what harvest okay so write this
write this point down
sowing is implied
because everybody has seed
sowing
is implied seed time and harvest the
reason they didn’t put it in there is
because sowing is implied
if you got seed
use it for its purpose
the only purpose of a seed
is to sow
so that it can produce more
after its own kind
seed
sow time
harvest
this is why i say all the time
all you have
is all you need why because god’s not
requiring a seed that he has not already
given you
some of y’all are so discontent with the
season you’re in and god says you are
holding your future
right now
in the place of seed form and you trying
to go to that city and work that job but
you’ll have the same seed
god said i’m not giving you new seed so
if you go there and the boss he doesn’t
recognize me god said it don’t matter if
they recognize you sow the seed there
well they don’t see my potential it
don’t matter the seed and the right soil
got to produce it doesn’t matter what
your family says
sow the seed
somebody shot at me sow the seed
sow the seed of your life
so the seed of your influence
so that some of y’all won’t even invite
people to church
because it doesn’t work with your
social media aesthetic
the reason god’s not giving you no more
influence
is because you won’t sow the seed of the
influence you have
you have what you got
and you got what you have
cause you won’t so
oh
i’m telling you right now
that this principle
works in every area of your life can i
tell you a personal story
when i started pastoring this church
i stood on the shoulders of two people
who literally in crazy faith moved to
the north side of tulsa as a white
couple in the womb
of racial tension
right where the 1921 race massacre
happened is where they had the audacity
to build the church and call it
greenwood christian center i would have
called this a male circle of hope or i
would have called it
but they had a mission from god
to go in in a place that was devastated
by all of this division and be able to
be a light right there 16 years of
planting right there
did you hear what i just said
16 years of
planting or can i say it a different way
sowing
they sold where nobody else was sowing
they took resources and connections and
all they went to where it was
uncomfortable
just they went to where they weren’t
invited
to sew they went to where there was no
red carpet to sew i’m trying to give
somebody a formula it may not be easy to
sow there
but it’s where you’ll grow
you may not get applause
sowing where god tells you to say
your family may not understand why you
can’t go on the vacation because you
gave that to that non-profit or to that
business or to that single month they
may not get it
but they’ll see it
one day remember the formula seed
so y’all got to help me time
harvest say it again
seed
sow
time
harvest one more time seed
so
time
harvest
for 16 years they sold
they sold so much
that when it was my turn
i started off with the harvest i didn’t
plant
this is what generational blessing looks
like
when i started pastoring and some of
y’all adults is so nasty you want them
to get it by their bootstraps that means
you didn’t make enough for us to get
anything
when you will not generationally think
i’m talking to you right now now they
got a day 18 go figure it out that means
you’re a selfish
god bless you because my god talks about
generational blessing a good man leaves
an inheritance for its chill y’all
better hear me up in here and you so
stingy and broke and busted
you want your kids to struggle how you
struggle
[Applause]
do you know experience is not the only
way you can learn
it’s actually the lowest level of
learning
it’s actually no go out there and figure
it out that’s dumb
look at you
i started off with a paid off building
i started off with members most of them
didn’t want to be there
just honestly
about 300 people but
i started off with something
it was crazy faith
for bishop mcintosh and pastor debbie to
take out a second mortgage on their
house to help the church stay afloat can
we give god praise for modern day faith
heroes oh y’all better
nothing about transformation church
would be what it is without those two
people
yeah
i love you
now watch
but then when god gave me the baton he
said crazy your faith
i said hold on what i was just trying to
maintain what they was doing god said i
go from faith to faith
[Music]
if this is where you start guess where
i’m taking you
and when i stood up bri and tammy as my
witness that first day were my knees
shaking
i said god said
this church
is going to be
multi-ethnic
monkey
what i write down right there
that’s how i was scared
multi-ethnic
multi-generational
multiplying
[Music]
and multi-campus
nobody was cheering
jay you were cheering jay that’s my
sister she was cheering
but most people wasn’t cheering
but god showed me something in seed form
so when we went here and he said crazier
i took over the church and all that
bishop and pastor debbie had done we had
hit a plateau
we had hit a place where it seemed like
if you’re gonna do good this is this is
how far you’re going to go like
money-wise influence-wise everything
this is your plateau and i in prayer
figured out what was happening
we had come against a principality of
poverty
now i know i’m getting deep right now
but
where we were in north tulsa
there was a principality of poverty
over our church and over people’s minds
and then there was a ceiling of
segregation
i’m just telling you what happened i’m
just giving you the process i figured
out in prayer that there was so much
segregation after that 1921 race
massacre and the railroads came right
there black people and hispanic people
was on this side of the railroad and
white people were on this side of the
railroad and that generational divide
was still there in 1999
and still there in 2002
when they started the church over there
and still there and god said we’re about
to deal with this
i said okay
he said there’s one more thing mike
there’s restriction on your reach where
you’re at
i said okay god so who do i need to call
who do i need to partner with who needs
to come in and bless the church he said
we don’t need anybody else me and you
are the majority
[Music]
[Applause]
okay
so what do you want me to do
he said when you hit a plateau
so
[Music]
what
i’m giving y’all big keys right now
whatever area of your life you hit a
plateau
so
so right there your marriage has no more
passion
send somebody else
on a staycation
in your city
and pay for it
well shouldn’t i use my resources for my
struggling marriage
y’all hit a plateau
so
whoa my situation is backed up and
jacked up
so shouldn’t i
whenever you hit a plateau you do what
so
so
first year pastoring god developing
crazy faith in me he said michael listen
to my instructions
your church
has a poverty
principality over it you’re going to
break it by sowing
that doesn’t make sense he said but it
makes miracles
[Applause]
i sell okay so what do you want me to do
he said get up in front of your church
there are people in this room that were
there that sunday he said get up in
front of your church and tell them
you’re going to take an offering and
every dollar that comes in you’re giving
to other churches in the community
and i stood up and said y’all today
and i think like an expectation i think
me might have been an expect effect or
something like that
we gonna sow a seed and give it away
and we raised eight thousand three
hundred dollars that sunday
and that week now that was
crazy faith
that wasn’t like no oh eight thousand
three didn’t nobody have eight thousand
three hundred dollars at the time what
nobody that eight thousand three hundred
we was like oh my god god bless you
lord do the work do the work bring it
like we was trying to oh yeah
we did everything sending that 8 300
away
because at the time
it was completely crazy
[Music]
but the generosity
that people know
transformation church today last year we
gave away 3.5 million dollars in one
service
[Music]
i can’t fool with you i got proof though
god’s been too good from 8 300
to 3.5
[Applause]
but everybody rejoices over the harvest
but they don’t know
to see
we sold 8 300 in the dark
and it became 3.5 in the light
what are you sewing today
that other thing about the ceiling
of segregation
first year of my pastor tammy remember
when i would be coming into the meetings
and i’d be like we’re doing a unite my
city event which was another non-profit
and around the time terence crutcher had
just been murdered and our city was in a
boiling point of divide and i partnered
with this group called um unite my city
with jason law and all those guys we
hosted events at our church we paid
money for stuff we catered and brought
all these people and somebody was like
why are you doing all this do you get
anything out of this all this i said oh
no no no
i’m in the future
i need all these people who look like
this
to come to the north side of tulsa
to this church
so i’m going to invite every different
type of person and we’re going to
everybody shout at me so
we sold
time
talent
treasure i was making graphics and
videos didn’t nobody pay me
look at us at the university event go
back on my social media you can go all
the way back down and see me all out
here with jason mall out here doing this
just sowing
and now when transformation church opens
up
do you know that there’s as many white
people
at this church
i’m up here in yeezy’s shorts and a
chain
and sally likes it do you understand
what i’m saying y’all y’all fake right
here but this is the most interracial
place in our city
[Applause]
you gotta see it before you see it and
you gotta show it
before you see it somebody’s going to
get me
and that restriction on reach jewel that
we had
we’d do great stuff we did
a play called ransom
y’all i’m not no cat
ransom could be on broadway right now
matter of fact why don’t we just turn
this into
yeah so so okay all right
somebody saw it
but when we did ransom for the first
time
it was like 1200 people that saw ransom
like
the whole city didn’t come out for
ransom
but
god said um so
i said how you want me to do that
he said sometimes you got to sew
collectively
you got to get with a circle of faith
who will sow with you
i said okay what that mean he said get
up in front of the church
who all of them don’t like you
this was real at the time
and
ask them to sew
so you can buy new cameras
because i need to expand the reach
of this church
okay god
now you know who i’m talking to right
god they don’t like me
and some of them are just waiting for
the moment
to say
i knew
he said obey me
or have what you have
i said you know what
let me
so i stood up and i said y’all we’re
going to raise 80 000
for brand new cameras everybody just you
know bring your faith bring your best
faith and let’s also
and we raised almost to the dollar
eighty thousand dollars now watch guess
what happened people left the church
oh no
i lost something in this season sowing
but do you know what i gained
on the o on the other side of what
seemed like a loss
nobody would know transformation church
if we
as a collective group
didn’t sow
for those eighty thousand dollars when
nobody but remember the principle seed
so
it was four years
from the time we sowed
to the time we saw any harvest
on them cameras
can i tell you
that my mom and her prayer group was
watching the service back we had 50
plays a week
because nobody was checking for
transformation church
i’d be up there sweating doing
everything i’m doing right now
for 41 plays
how do i know because i screenshotted it
one time
believing in faith
that my seed wasn’t in vain
sometimes you got to know
that when you sow
it’s not in vain
and some of y’all been discouraged
that you sowed and the enemy’s been
trying to wear you out why would you
move there why would you give your life
to that you built that and didn’t take
any credit and god said hey don’t get
weary
and well doing
you sold something that’s going to pop
back up if you don’t uproot it and some
of y’all are digging in dirt right now
trying to find a seat leave it alone
that seed has something in your future
and then relationship goals goes viral
all this stuff happens
years happen
and now we’re here
tell me how did this happen
mama i mean you can pray but like
how did it
how did this like
how did we just spend 35 million on the
building across
and still have
money in the bank to give away
i
i mean i know i can speak
but
there’s words misspelled on this paper
right now
like i
there’s no way
did i learn a principle of the kingdom
that when there’s time and i’ve
recognized my
seed
then i have to have the crazy faith to
so
and then i have to have the crazy weight
i have to have the crazy weight
to last whatever amount of
time but at some point
it’s going to show back up
okay
so when you hit a plateau what are you
supposed to do so okay okay
and
nat should i give him the bonus point
can i just that somebody in the back
gave me okay to give you the bonus point
i can’t talk about it for real this week
maybe next week
but many of y’all gonna hate the harvest
because you’re not a farmer
church people shout at harvest time
farmers
know that it’s time to work
the harvest you’re believing for
most of y’all going why is this
depression come upon me
why is everybody forsaking me why do i
feel separate you prayed for this
you sowed seeds for this
you mad because you’re in meetings with
finance people and lawyers and all this
is what you asked for god expand this to
the place where we can this is your
prayer so let me explain this
uh-huh
it’s seed
so y’all not helping me let me start
over it’s
seed come on help me
so
then it’s what
time
and then it’s work
dale they don’t want to work
they want the prophetic word and not the
prophetic work
the work i do is more anointed than the
word i get
god doesn’t want to just see me be able
to receive a word and just pray and
believe god says
work
i hear prophetess rihanna
work work work
work work when you see me work
work work i mean under your gun get like
i see the hope
and if the church doesn’t lose their
lazy faith
we will miss harvest time
seed
i’m y’all i’m i’m doing this so y’all
can get it
see
so
time
work then what heart
this
is the principle
that will produce
in your life
over
and over
and over
and over as long as the earth will
remain
this will never cease
so what i decided
is that i would be a serial sower
y’all heard of serial killers my wife be
watching all these crazy like this woman
she was the bank teller and then she
just killed 58 people like what
this point came because of what my wife
watches when i go to sleep so this is
what happened
you talk about serial killers and serial
cheaters
have you met any serial sowers
somebody that’s so repetitive in
generosity
somebody that just wherever i’m at it
don’t matter what you’re going through i
don’t so because of what you look like i
sew because i’m a serial sower i’m a i
got faith like a farmer people would be
like well do they really need it it
don’t matter if you need it i know when
i plant it
it don’t matter what it looks like it
don’t matter if they already got it
uh
some of y’all so broke you only soul
where there’s a need
[Applause]
also where i’m going
i saw where there’s a need and i saw
where i’m going somebody well they don’t
need that but they got it so i want to
sew in good ground
[Applause]
somebody say i’m a cereal sewer
and you just lied many of you many of
you just like
only cereal you eat a froot loops and
the only sowing you do is to close but
what i want to give you an invitation to
is to become somebody
who’s a serial sower
god blesses me
the automatic reaction
is to so
when god blessed me with the platform on
social media that he gave me
i automatically started sewing my
platform into people who did not have
that platform
the first book i ever put out
relationship goals the day my book come
out came out
god said what you about to post about
my book
he said no no you’re a serial sower
find somebody else’s book that comes out
today
and post about that first
and there’s another pastor in north
carolina named pastor darren during gray
who also passes a church called
transformation church and he had a book
coming out the same day how ironic
and if you go back my first post on my
first book
was not about what god had given me
it was to sow
into somebody else
how did
crazy faith
become a new york time bestseller
nobody barely ever in book world what
they tell me gets two consecutive new
york times bestsellers
nobody can convince me
i didn’t write a better book
it’s
good but it ain’t cause it’s better
it’s cause when i had the opportunity
on the first one
i everybody say sowed
and all this is is
the harvest
write this point down consecutive sowing
produces consecutive harvests
i need everybody to see me the reason
i’m a serial sower it’s because when i
keep doing it it keep popping up
most of us sow a seed and wait for the
harvest
to then take another seed off of that
harvest and sow
so seed time harvest
to do
sensitive
is that a harvest okay great okay
let me i should sew again
see it’s just time
is that a harvest
wow
30 years
three time sowing
30 years
and you sold three times
30
30 years and you still living off the
seed
you sold
that one time at that one
a cereal sower
we’ll go borrow seed
you got some seed let me god bless you
boo
hold on boop see y’all not getting it
like this can you
put some soil on this platform for me
can you turn this whole thing
into the life
that we are living just start just pour
it on they need to get this
and can you hand me the seeds yeah
just start pouring it on the ground yeah
just get it all over it come on y’all
gotta pour it like you mean it come on
okay see this is where i work and this
is where i live and this is where my
marriage is and this is where my kids
will be raised and this is the soil of
my life
and god brought me here
with all of these
seeds
and all of these seeds
look good in this bucket
the aesthetic is beautiful
matter of fact i think these are
sunflowers
eat and see
and some of y’all will sit here all
you’re like
yeah yeah
back in louisiana where i’m from
[Applause]
you just ate the forest of your faith
was it good
was it enough hold on
were you satisfied
i would have to eat so many seeds
to actually be full
where if i sowed the seeds
and gave it some time
it could turn into something with more
seeds in it
but enough substance
for me to actually be full
a serious sower
looks at their marriage and says i don’t
just sow
on our honeymoon
let me stop
let me let me help you i’ll get the full
visual see because none of y’all have
ever farmed neither have i but i studied
this week
and the thing that i found out is that
farmers
have a different type of
clothing
they know that sewing can get dirty
they know
that for them
sowing may require them to have to be
around something and in something that
could leave a stain
so what i’m doing is i’m getting the
right clothes on to be able to do this
and i’m gonna have faith and you know i
just had to
take it to the next level
some of y’all should stop posting
what you look like
this is a nice look i kind of like this
right here
[Applause]
i know what you see on the ground
but to god this is what i look like
he knows he can trust me
because i got faith like a farmer
when god gave me 300 people
when god gave me a little bit of money
when he gave me a little bit of
influence
i didn’t eat it
i didn’t negate it
i didn’t act like it was nothing i said
all i
have is all i need
and i just started
wherever i go i’m a serial sower you’d
be like hey it’s nice to meet you nice
to meet you
i’m sowing seeds every i don’t just sow
in me and natalie’s marriage when we got
married but every monday night on date
night what am i doing i’m playing sees
girl you know i love you and you look
good and girl your booty getting tight
and i’m just telling you
what am i doing
that’s why your marriage is dead you
ain’t planted there in 20 years but what
i’m telling you is that when you become
a serial sower
i saw on accident
can i say it like this i’m addicted
to sowing
if you get around me too long you’re
gonna get something from me
why cause you’re in my field
and if you get anywhere near my field
the seeds that’s coming off me
[Applause]
this is what it looks like the seeds
coming off me
[Applause]
all it has to do is fall on the ground
[Music]
this is why you shouldn’t give your
leaders hell
at your job your boss all the this is
why you should be good ground
because if your heart is hard when they
ask you to do something
it doesn’t go deep
and even if they do things a different
way and you don’t like what they do and
all that keep your heart open
[Applause]
because if you get around the right
people
and you’re good ground
partner you’re going to see a harvest
[Applause]
can i prove it to you in the word
ecclesiastes 11 6.
oh i like the word of god
oh you thought i was wasting time
no no no no i’m a serial sower
cordell every time we get in the car the
reason i’m just talking and sharing
stuff
because i’m trying to drop something in
your heart
that’ll build the billion dollar
business
i’ma see i’m uh
it may be 30 years from now cordell
before we walking up to that building
and paying for another church is 35
million dollar
y’all so
[Music]
dale we gonna buy somebody else’s
building with no strings attached
y’all don’t hear me run the tape back
cause it’s gonna happen
i’m a serial sower
i don’t ah
this thing is about to go
pastor pearson didn’t know
when he was singing those songs all them
songs i sang today was songs sewn into
my heart
when i was a baby sleep on the pews
while my mom was leading prayer
he was throwing out
seeds
didn’t nobody know i’d be mike todd
except god
and all the faithful people
who’ve been serial sowers
just been throwing it out
why would i keep throwing it out
on this platform right now there’s no
harvest
like we’re shouting
but this is pretty depressing day after
day
to come out here and just be like all
right
i sold it
great sowing
this is why you’re going to the word of
god ecclesiastes 11 6.
i love the bible
sow your seed
in the morning
every day i woke up
every day i wake up
what am i do
so see
when you go to your job
stop looking at what you can
take well i need a promotion and i need
to get recognized
have you sown anything there
stop looking for a harvest
where you have never sewn
no farmer goes out to pasture
and sister is like
looking for the harvest
and somebody walks by is like what kind
of harvest you looking for
looking for wheat
well did you sow wheat nope sowed corn
but i’m believing for wheat
why would you
like
see that whatever
that whatever you sow
comes back to you
includes bad things
why do all your friends gossip
because it’s harvest time
i’m in somebody’s business
why does everybody leave you
when
when they said they would be there for
you
it’s hard you sowed
everybody say whatever
this is why the bible tells us if you’re
going to sow something
so good things
like if you just okay either don’t so
or so something good cause it’s coming
back
and that’s why ecclesiastes 11 6 says
sow your seed in the morning
and an evening
let your hands not be idle
for you do not know
which
seed will succeed
whether it’s this one
or that one
or whether
both
will do equally well
god’s saying become addicted to sowing
because at the end of the day
nobody knows
which seed
is about to produce fruit
so i keep throwing it out
so god has more to work with
i keep giving to those people
i keep serving in that area
i keep going back to those family
members who don’t appreciate what i do
for them every holiday season cause at
one point
at some moment
there is going to be ah remember what it
is seed
so
time
thank you
proverbs 11 24. i gotta end this because
some of y’all too full and some of y’all
too frustrated
because the truth of the matter is your
life is not god’s fault at this moment
you keep blaming him
for not doing what he said
and he’s holding you responsible for not
sowing what you said
god if you ever get me out of this
situation
aisle
and you never did
you never sold those seeds
it didn’t make fiscal sense
it wasn’t a part of my five year plan
it didn’t make sense i was at the top
and you gonna tell me to leave this
high-paying job to go start over and all
the devil there’s a lot and you rolling
your neck and i wasn’t the devil that
was divine
but now you’re going to pray
for seeds to flourish in a dead field
oh i’m in your business
and the truth of the matter is
the church is who’s supposed to
exemplify this
and we have the least amount of harvest
we always begging people could you
please
if it would i mean if
you know if god oh my god god has done a
miracle you gave us 800 what the hell
i’m sorry
i
i am so
sick of the church being the place
who needs the handout
when we have the god of the universe on
our side
he gets a bad rap because we don’t work
the principles
i’m gonna say it again
we give god a bad rap because we do not
work
the
principle if he says seed sow
time work harvest and you sitting up
here waiting for somebody to bless you i
was just waiting for god to bless me he
said waiting for me to bless you i did
with seed
now show it
somebody say i have seed
the enemies had tried to convince so
many of you you didn’t have seed
he tried to tell you you didn’t have
seed big chris but you’re sitting there
with so much seed
fee you’re sitting there with so much
seed kaylee you got so much seed now you
got so much seed
but now god’s asking you to do what
so
proverbs 11 24 25 give freely
[Music]
start getting creative in your song
[Applause]
[Applause]
why is there a limit
[Applause]
the bible didn’t give us a limit to how
we sow
he’s literally telling us right here
get freely
so creatively
walk into every store some of y’all need
to walk into places and so encouragement
[Applause]
you saw so much judgment
and so much i didn’t like the way she
sang that song and i don’t like that and
look at her outfit and did you see that
mic up there in some shorts i’m skinnier
than i was i’m doing stuff that i don’t
like i’m just wearing sure i don’t know
i don’t know
i may look back at this and be like that
was a bad idea but when i put it on i
said boy you look good i don’t know
[Applause]
but did
did you sow encouragement today
creatively sow
and become more wealthy
this do you y’all see the bible
give freely
and become more wealthy
be stingy with your seed
and
not not reap a harvest watch what the
bible says
be stingy
and lose everything
hold on does this confirm
the the parable of the seed and the
sowers where god literally gave one one
one two
and one five
and somebody got scared of the seed god
gave them
and said i’m gonna protect this one seed
uh uh
hey
what y’all doing
working the field doing what god gave us
what you doing
just protecting my seed
don’t want anybody to misunderstand me
don’t want anybody to get uncomfortable
by what god’s placed in me so
let me just protect
my seat you doing okay see okay cool
and then jesus comes back and
wants to
see the account of what you did for what
he gave you
all of it was grace he gave everybody a
measure of grace gave everybody seed
then the one with five he said i doubled
it i made it 10.
i plant it
seed
sow
time
work what’s the last thing harvest
i multiplied it
the one with two he doubled it
we did four the one with one
listen to me god
i knew that that one thing you gave me
needed to keep it safe
keep it secure
keep myself safe and secure be open to
no criticism
really be at a place where everybody was
just happy with what was going on didn’t
take up any more space than what you
started me with
can’t really feed anybody but i still
got the seed
god said you wicked
and perverse
man
you could have done something with it
you were lazy
and scared
and look
what he does to the man
he takes his one seed
and gives it to the one with ten
and this where the church gets mad
how are you gonna take from them
and bless them with it they’re bad
farmers
and god wants a return on the investment
so he looks
at who’s using the seed
and he looks at who’s not using the
and he goes back and says
come here
and he’ll give it to somebody else
ain’t that’s what this says give freely
and become more wealthy be stingy and
lose everything
the generous
will prosper
and then this messes me up
those who refresh others
will themselves
be
refreshed
the blessing of god that has come over
my life
when i decided to have faith like a
farmer
y’all i can’t explain it
money comes looking for me
connections come looking for me
y’all know cap
i’m not out here looking for nothing
people
send
all kind of stuff
that has nothing to do with what i’m
doing today
it was seeds i sold
in different seasons
that are sh
they’re chasing me down
to give me the fruit of my faith
it’s a principle of the earth
if you plant it
it’s coming back
but it takes what
seed then what
so
then what
time then what
work then what
so what are you saying pastor mike
everybody right now take your hand
and just quench it in front of you
and i don’t know what this represents
for you but it’s something you already
have
you’re holding your harvest
right now
i’m holding my harvest
you’ll never
see it
if i don’t let it go
but this is the forest of my faith
this is my family being healed delivered
and set free
this is me walking in confidence
no insecurity
blessing other
but it’s not until i take what i have
right now
and sow it
do not end 2021
holding your harvest
you want to own a business one day go
serve somebody else’s business
don’t ask for the money
because you would be manipulating it at
that point
because you knew god told you to go do
it to sow it
don’t be a burden
just go do it
go to that ministry nobody wants to work
in
and say i’m going to give the next year
of my life to this
sow it
you may be sewing for your kid’s kids
[Music]
somebody say sew it
okay um
holy spirit how i’m gonna do this
okay
um
okay
um
dang i’d have messed up my shoes
hey
okay
this
i didn’t plan for it today
to mess up these shoes
didn’t plan for it
in the idea of this whole analogy for
some reason no dirt got on my shoes
and i literally just that’s a real
moment i just realized i ruined my shoes
um
but one of the things i just thought
about
is that i’m no longer attached to
material things
no no no hold on at one point in my life
this would have been devastating
but the crazy thing about this is
is john in here i think he’s over he’s
in the back
i gave these exact shoes away
nine years ago
and the blessing now anybody who’s not a
hypebeast or anybody that knows shoes or
anything these are pretty cool shoes
okay
i gave these shoes away in a season i
couldn’t afford to
i was stunting
as the children would say
i was trying to give off an image that
was higher
than what i was actually living
and so i bought the shoes stunned it and
the holy spirit said give them to that
young person right there took the shoes
off gave them to him
realizing
today
that i’m in the shoes again
i sold them over there
they came back
but this time i didn’t pay for these
shoes
somebody else
gave me these shoes
and i already had it made up in my mind
because they hurt my feet just a little
bit on the on the side i got she got a
13 and 12 and a half y’all know some of
y’all be your feet is crippled because
y’all wearing shoes that’s too small
i already made up in my mind
i was supposed to give these shoes away
when i just stood on the stage i’m
having a real-time realization right now
i’m showing you how it’s happening
when i stood up on this stage and just
sat down and was looking at my notes and
looked at my shoes and realized they
were ruined
at that moment i realized god didn’t
change the instruction that i had to
give these shoes away
it just meant i now had to sow another
seed to get a new pair
[Music]
to give them away my plan was to give
away
from the harvest
to give away from what somebody blessed
me with so it wasn’t as you know i’m
saying you bless me
and god just required another seed
as quick as i thought i had
a way to get out of feeling the
sacrifice
at the moment that i saw that god said
no no no no this life with me
is going to require you to always sow
another
seed somebody say sow
another
seed
so if you’re going to sow a seed
you need to know these three things and
we got to get out of here okay if you’re
gonna sow a seed you need to know
that sowing’s not first
surrender is
okay so let me come to your finances
real quick because this is where the
body of christ really gets jacked up
okay and people want to talk about
prosperity gospel and this and that and
i won’t believe in none of that we
believe in the principles of god
here’s a principle
when you surrender
you tithe
you return according to malachi
10 of all of your income
everybody put your hands up like this
say i surrender
that’s how tithing feels
i surrender
i’m going to give you back what you gave
me i wouldn’t had his job
i wouldn’t have this i wouldn’t have i’m
going to return you can’t give
a tithe
you have to return it
because that proves that i didn’t give
myself this god gave it to me and some
of y’all were counting your money right
now you you’re so planned for christmas
and so planned for thanksgiving and
you’re robbing god
of the opportunity to bless you see
people like you robbing god no no god
don’t need nothing from you you’re
robbing him of the opportunity to bless
you because he only rewards his kids who
obey
[Applause]
and i’m telling you
the first level of doing this is
surrender some of y’all just need to
start tithing
this week you need to go to whatever
church i didn’t say transformation
church whatever church you get fed from
whatever place you need to take that to
the house of god and you need to return
it to god let me prove it to you because
some of y’all just got real tight your
booty just squinched up right there
malachi 310 bring all the tithes into
the storehouse that’s the house of god
that there may be food in my house and
try me on this this is the only place in
the bible where god says test me
i double dog dare you and you know if
somebody double dog dares you it’s kind
of like you better do it i double dog
dare you to test me in this
and see
oh i love this
if i won’t open the windows of heaven
and pour you out a blessing that there
will be no room enough to receive it and
i’ll one-up you i’ll rebuke and protect
you from the devourer and the for your
sake so that he will not destroy the
fruit of your
ground
that means i can plant seeds
and it get robbed because i don’t have
protection
nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit
for you in the field it’s all these like
faith like a farmer
says the lord of hearts host and all
nations will call you blessed for you
will be a delight in the land says the
lord of hosts write down this crazy
equation surrender hands up equals tithe
tithe equals protection and god’s pour
out
when you tithe when you return 10
that’s when god says all right i’ll
protect it and i’ll open the windows of
heaven and pour you out a blessing
there’s not room enough to receive let
me go to the next one now after you
surrender you can sew
i’m giving you the formula a lot of you
think you’re sowing when you when you
haven’t surrendered and you can only sow
after you surrender
so you so write this equation equals
offering which equals multiplication
this is where this comes in
when you sow you never sow one seed and
get one seed back when you sow one seed
you get a tree with multiple fruits with
multiple seeds god’s favorite math is
multiplication
and this is why in matthew 14 i don’t
got time to do it 13 he does the miracle
of the multiplication of the fish and
the loaves it was a long john silver
snack pack it was five fish and
few loaves and he turned that and fed 50
000 people how did he do that
it’s because it was blessed and broken
and then generously given away it was an
offering and what happens at the time of
the offering is multiplication
this is what your life should look like
because you are a farmer
somebody say i’m a farmer
i’m a fine farmer somebody just say that
right now i have faith like a farmer
but there’s one more level to this
one more
you surrender
then you sow
then this last level i pray that
everybody gets here because this is
where i’ve been the past four years of
my life
then you look to sacrifice
sacrifice
equals extravagant offerings
and extravagant offerings
produce god’s presence and his
partnership
can i prove it to you
tony
this
is the level god’s called you to live in
when you sacrifice sacrificial giving
hurts
huh
my range rover
that was the first sacrificial
sacrificial gift god asked me to uh oh
i’m stuttering because i’m just
remembering
wow
y’all i didn’t i didn’t have no money
that was that was everything
that was all my little identity wrapped
up in that black on black
range rover
stupidest decision i ever made to buy
that
just drained me
so that you could think i look cool
and god said i want it back
all right wait
he said give it to him
he doesn’t deserve it
he said but i want you to give something
sacrificially this is not about him
this is about me and you
i sold that range rover
and y’all heard me talk earlier about
how i drove around a 15 passenger van
because the formula is
seed
help me
so
two and a half years with no car
as the pastor of transformation church
oh you thought it stopped when you got a
platform
i was i was in transition to becoming
the pastor
and i was literally asking church
members for rides to church
i was walking from my house
my executive what’s your title bree
where’s your title chief of staff i
don’t know she’s my sister but the chief
of staff
got another car
and i remember rejoicing because she let
me use her dirty sonata for two weeks
i threw that dirty uh you know i love
you y’all though
she let i remember while i’m getting up
shouting to everybody about expecting
god hadn’t left me
the principle was at work in the earth
seed
oh i got goosebumps so
time
work
harvest
and do you know what god had the
audacity to ask me to do
is when i got my next car
he asked me to sow that one too i didn’t
even have it for seven months
give it away
now god i have a wife
and dignity
i’m a man
like you start taking on these cultural
[Music]
you start trying to act like you know
what i’m saying and god said i’m
counter-cultural
this is about the kingdom
you want to gain your life
lose it
gave my second car away
but it was preparing me
for the harvest
somebody came and gave me a car
then i gave that car
two years later me and my wife saw
somebody in need
didn’t now need somebody to bless me
with a car god said now go buy it
and give it to him
now lord i’m fine with giving it to him
if you provide it for free
now if i got it on the hook up god it’s
yours
come on i’m trying to help you
but you want me to sow
and then give it
and as soon as my heart turned
somebody gave me the car
to give to the other
i am now
a serial sower
of vehicles
now don’t walk up to me and ask me by
your vehicle because if god don’t tell
me to find you
it ain’t happening
[Applause]
i’ll carry you on my back i hold your
hand but i’m not buying you
but if god says so
it why are you saying this
it’s because i’ve learned the value
of extravagant giving
first kings chapter three this is your
bible study for this week go study
solomon go study solomon
and watch what solomon did when
everybody else it was customary for them
to offer one bull as a sacrifice in the
house of god guess how many bulls
solomon sacrificed
one thousand
one was the regulation
one thousand was his sacrifice
one was the quota
one thousand was his worship
one was what everybody else offered
but 1 000
was what god placed in his heart to
offer
and this is what happened after solomon
gave sacrificially oh i love the bible
first kings chapter three verse four
um let’s go to verse five that night
the lord appeared to solomon in a dream
he brought him his presence
and god said
what do you want
what you want
no for real
what do you want
i ain’t seeing this type of crazy faith
when the quota was low
and you just came up here with a
thousand moo moose
you killed all them bulls for me
and so you gave us
that took work to do
what you want
this is the only place in the bible
that god asks a human
what you want
tell me
i want to partner with you
he didn’t say what did you need
what you want
that level of giving
what you want
i’m believing that god’s taking us to a
place as a church
that we don’t just surrender and give
the tithe that’s the lowest level and
i’m proud transformation you’re a
tithing church this is not a message
this is for all the people who are just
coming here i’m giving you a principle
we’re not taking no offerings we’re not
doing anything right now i just need you
to know will you tithe
the truth of the matter is that’s the
lowest level
that’s the first level
you surrender but then you sow
but once you get to the level of
sacrifice
god says be my partner
what you want to do
you want to build back black wall street
in the whole city of tulsa
i i
i
somebody asked why
we buying up all this property
the vision god gave bishop mcintosh
was to reverse the curse
what they did was take businesses land
grocery stores community they burned
them to the ground
if the vision
was to reverse the
i i can’t talk too much vision to y’all
there’s too many haters watching right
now
but before it’s said and done and
crazier we buying up the city you y’all
i’m telling you as sure as i’m standing
here in overall week and then we come
into your city y’all don’t hear me
and then we go into different countries
cause we are going to see
[Applause]
what god wanted
to happen in this city
we see it before we see it
but we
sow it
before we see it
what do you want
i told god as long as i lead this church
if you’re still watching you ride or die
i love you can we give it up for
transformation nation right now
come on give it up for yourself
now
[Music]
some people logged off that’s too long
that’s too much that’s other they just
missed it
send it to them again
you can watch a three-hour marvel movie
that you paid
you sowed into them the reason they can
keep making the movies because you sew
in
and nine dollars for popcorn
but a key to the kingdom
it took two hours to unpack
but if you get this
and you become
a serial sower
and you get faith like a
farmer
your children
and their children
will look up
and be living
in the forest
of your faith
bella’s kids
and ava’s kids
and mj’s kids
and jesus kids
are gonna say my my grandmama
and my pop-pop
believe god like that
you mean he built us a house before we
were born
i’m talking crazy faith right now
hold on he paid for our wedding
and i never met him
he left me a bible
with scriptures highlighted in it
that would give me the keys to the
kingdom
crazy faith
[Music]
i wanted to start with us
standing all over the world if you at
your house i just want everybody stand
up for one second we done
who i feel the presence of god
seed
so y’all got to help me this is the last
time
see
so
time
work
hard
[Music]
god’s given all of us a seat
it’s time to sew
[Music]
every year since
this church has been in existence
we ask god in crazy faith how are we
supposed to stand
behind this vision and this word that
you’re giving us
[Music]
and um every year we give an offering an
extravagant offering above
our normal tithe and offering
and um
we give it to the house of god for the
expansion of what he wants to do
all i want to tell you is the things
god’s showing me right now
they scary
it
y’all
i can’t even share it with people
because what god’s about to do is blow
our minds crazier
is where we’re gonna live
but just like those people sold that
eighty thousand dollars
for what the world experienced somebody
had to sow
i’m asking transformation nation
and transformation church
to start praying
i didn’t say giving
oh they got to see the word one more
time um second corinthians 9 16 after it
talks about all the things that we
talked about it says in verse 10 now
let’s go back to verse 8.
no let’s go back to verse seven y’all
gotta get it each of you should give
what you have decided in your heart to
give this is where the church has messed
this up
not reluctantly or under compulsion
i’m not telling you if you want a
miracle come up here i’m gonna pray for
you for everybody that gave 200
that’s manipulation
the bible says don’t give reluctantly
or under compulsion
because god actually wants you to be
happy a cheerful giver
when you’ve come to this point
so on december 5th
we’re taking
as a family an opportunity
to step out in crazier faith
whatever we’ve done up until this point
that might have been crazy
but we’re going crazy
and we’re going to sow whatever god
tells us to say
standing here with so so much confidence
in the seeds
that are planted in us
that god is about to do so i don’t care
if you’re in high school i don’t care if
you on government assistance
god is telling you today
if you make it up in your heart to sow
i’ll give seed to the sower
is that a scripture
go ahead and go to verse 10 of that this
is all in ecclesiastes um or second
corinthians chapter nine verse six look
at it
now he
who supplies
seed
to the soul
that means when you’ve made up in your
mind and your heart to sow then god
comes and finds you with seed
it’s not he says i’ll give seed to the
sower
and bread for food will also supply and
increase your store of seed and it will
enlarge the harvest of your
righteousness
on december 5th
i’m just asking for the farmers to show
up
just the farmers
if you don’t have faith like a farmer if
you’re a fan cool
watch service
i need this is a call for farmers
[Music]
if this is how you’re gonna look in the
spirit
[Music]
i’m calling you
with your wife
with your husband
with your children
with your family
and i’m asking you to ask god
i’ll never give amounts i’ll never say
because god’s gonna speak to you
i want you to pray starting right now
today is october
what is it
24th
this is over a month away there should
be no
compulsion and no pressure
and no don’t come to church this other
thing don’t watch like it’s like you
ain’t this is this is just for the
farmers
if you’re a visitor here and you don’t
want to get on all of this now the bible
said whoever
so this ain’t for no close group of
people
if this your first time watching it’s
like this brother talking
get up in here
sow your seed
let’s go whoever
somebody shot at me whoever
it don’t matter
but if you feeling something
this ain’t the sunday for you
but i just
wanted to pull
i want to say like i wanted to put out a
call
for those
who are going to live in a forest of
faith
that they’re gonna take their seed
sow it
wait the time
work it
and see the harvest
everybody in this room and all over the
world
i’m emotional right now like i’m
literally actually i can feel
i can feel generations changing right
now
like i can i can literally feel like
poverty breaking off of people’s minds
right now i can literally like i’m very
sensitive when i’m up here right now and
i can feel people in the tension of
their life right now you’re literally
sitting in your seat and you know it
will take something shifting in your
mind to participate but your future is
calling
[Music]
generational curses and habits being
broken
why does your family always just have
enough it’s because nobody put on the
overalls and had the faith to farm
and god’s saying you can change it
see the farmer sees the power of the
seed
because when he holds the seed he sees
a future form
hands lifted all over this building
today god i pray for the farmers
[Music]
there’s a blessing coming
to every person
who will work the principle
of sowing whoever sows
sparingly will reap sparingly but that
main means whoever sows generously
oh god
we’re gonna reap generously let us sow
our time
our talent
our treasure
our connections
our calling
let us sow father god our energy
our effort god let us sow we all have
seed
god i thank you that even right now
what you’re calling transformation
church and transformation nation to come
together and do
god i thank you that it’s going to
change the trajectory of the world
because we’re going to have crazier
faith
on december 5th
we are going to bring sacrificial
offings to this house send them father
god some of us are going to bring them
in person god and we
are going to sacrifice
so that we can see a harvest of souls
[Music]
god we thank you for the blessing
i come against
doubt i come against confusion
i come against even right now father
fear
and i thank you that you are the god
that gives seed to the sower right now
if you desire to sow i want you to say
this out loud god
i am here
to sow
bring me the seed
say it one more time god
i’m here
to sow
show me the seed just one more god
i’m here
to sow
i am the seed
[Music]
if you just made that decision you can
sing this song you can say ah
uh
[Music]
amen
ah
it means so be it
let it be so if you already said that in
your heart it’s done
[Music]
heaven is agreeing with your decision
[Music]
can you just lift that up one more time
right now somebody say um
[Music]
so be it lord
have your way god
i agree with you gonna say i’m in a
manner it’s happening all over the world
[Music]
if you’ve never given your life to
christ
i want to give you an opportunity
[Music]
to receive
what somebody else sold for
can i explain to you
when god
saw that we were going to be
disconnected from each other
he sent jesus
as a
seed
oh this thing is preaching
and he sowed him
see the thing about a seed is it can
never produce until it’s broken
and jesus came here
and did nothing wrong in all of his
divinity and died in humanity and
stretched out his arm and died
as a seed
for all the other children of god
and today
you’re the harvest
of the sea god sold
and all you have to do is accept jesus
as your personal lord and savior
it’s the thing that took me from being a
liar a manipulator addicted to
pornography all kinds of bad things in
my heart that nobody knew except me
and when i gave my life to christ
when i laid it all down when i planted
myself in him
he said i’m gonna make you into
something
that can change other people’s life i
didn’t become a perfect man but i became
a progressing man
and today people are eating off the
fruit
of what jesus sowed into my life
and today there’s so much more for you
if you would give over control on the
count of three if you want to give your
life to jesus christ i don’t care what
you did last night i don’t care who you
were with last night i don’t care what
you’re planning tomorrow today is the
day of salvation and i need church
i need the church to start praying right
now because there is attention that is
trying to draw people back to things
that were never meant to help them and
god through his love not his wrath not
his anger but through his love is
drawing you to him the holy spirit is
whispering i feel the presence of god
right now and he’s saying come to me i
don’t care how much money you make i
don’t care how far you’ve been i don’t
care what you did
i love you
and i want a relationship with you
today
i want you to give your life to christ
one you’re making the greatest decision
of your life
two i’m proud of you but that doesn’t
matter your name will be written in the
lamb’s book of life you’re secure for
eternity
three if you want to make jesus christ
your personal lord and savior lift your
hand up come on i see your hand right
there come on let’s give god praise
right there there’s hands going up all
over the world
so proud of you
[Music]
you want to give your life back to
christ this is the moment
now we’re going to just say this quick
prayer according to romans 10 9
and i’m telling you it changes
everything tomorrow’s not going to be
perfect but i promise you’ll progress
now transformation church
this is a family
and nobody prays alone here so we’re
going to say this prayer together for
the benefit of those who are coming to
christ come on just say god
thank you
for sending jesus
as a seed for me
today
i give you my life
i believe you lived
you died
and you rose again
just for me
today
i surrender
change me
renew me
transform me
on yours
in jesus name
amen can we give god oh y’all better
help me y’all got to do better than that
there are people all over the world
that are giving their life to christ
[Music]
so proud of you you just made that
decision
can i tell you over 32 000 people have
made that decision this year alone oh
y’all
see
i might have to do another week on
farming
because uh
y’all know when the bible says
that
the the the field
is actually
the the white it’s it’s harvest time
but the workers are the laborers
are few
ain’t enough farmers
but today
i feel like there’s about 10 000 farmers
with faith
i said i feel like there’s about 10 000
at least
and what could happen if we became
serial sowers
[Music]
crazy faith offering december 5th
what i want you to do
is i don’t want you to put an identity
to what you’re believing god for
we do this every year so if you’re new
at our church you like what are they
doing you can go back every year and see
the miracle signs and wonders that are
attached to us writing down what we’re
believing god for some of y’all in the
room are here because of what you wrote
