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
