In this year of fruit, God is pruning and cutting us in areas that do not bear and areas that He desires to see more fruit. To keep from perishing, we have to receive vision to keep us ALIVE. In Week 2 of the Fresh Fruit Sermon Series, Pastor Mike shared fresh vision for Transformation Church with us and taught us how to have a vision for fresh fruit. This year our focus will be on having tested faith, trusted friends, and being in a space of training for spiritual formation. Let’s commit ourselves to this new level of faith, friendship, and formation, trusting that God is going to cause us to bear MORE FRUIT!

Jesus again thank you so much for
joining us enjoy the message today I
hope it blesses you you ready all right
y’all y’all ready I said y’all ready cuz
today is week two of a series we’re
calling help me fresh
fruit and um this year we have decided
as a church that we will not settle for
anything crusty old or
stale y’all didn’t seem convinced about
that but everything in my life has to be
what fresh good and I want fresh
relationship I want fresh ideas I want
fresh wisdom I want fresh
instructions fresh perspective what else
you want to be fresh in your life yell
out at me put it in the comments you
want fresh what relationship she said
she said relationships I already said
that one but you wanted to make sure it
was clear again she said ah fresh
relation what else y’all want fresh what
reation fresh what Revelation Revelation
friendship what did I hear fresh
communication come on anybody else
freshh finances somebody said I need
some fresh money give me some new
money okay somebody just shouted me
fresh it’s going to be fresh by faith
though we’re not just looking for new
things we want fresh things things that
God’s hand is
on we want to live in a place of fresh
fruit and so the word of the year at
this church is fruit and God said for
the next how many ever weeks I want you
to walk the people through what I am
calling um a a vision of being able to
get everything in your life fresh and
today is Vision Sunday and I’m excited
about it because I’m going to show you
and share with you um how to get vision
and then the vision of this church and
what we’re going to be doing going
forward and I want you to know that this
applies to you because everything that
I’m going to tell you is from the word
of God and whatever God’s given you a
vision on you can apply copy and paste
these principles to it to be able to see
this level of freedom and access in your
life and then you’re going to hear about
God’s plan and how he planted you in
this church so that you could produce
more fruit than you could by
yourself that’s great and there’s a lot
of people that think that you’re better
off outside of church and I want to let
you know Come Close you’re
not you you might be more isolated you
may not have to be accountable you may
be able to get and do whatever you want
and say whatever you want cuz I’m My Own
people I’m living my truth and I’m you
might be do all that but God cuts off
the
favor cuz you’re not attached to
anything and today I want to let you
know that the house of God is still
God’s plan to produce the greatest
version of you yeah yeah yeah so that
you can go out there and actually
produce everybody shout at me fruit
fruit okay and uh John 1516 is our
anchor scripture I want you to study
this I want you to read it every day I
want you to post it up on your mirror I
want you to tattoo it on you if you need
to but I need you to remember this
because this is God speaking in the form
of Jesus he said you did not choose me
but I chose you and I appointed you so
that you might go and bear fruit I don’t
know my calling bear fruit good good God
I just want you to clarify your will for
my life bear
fruit but God if you could give me a
specific prophetic word Jesus did over
2,000 years ago I called you and I
appointed you to do something bear
fruit and so it trips me out when
everybody wants to know exactly what God
has for them right now I ask them what
are you doing where you’re
at is where you’re at Fruitful yeah
great great no I hate this job good but
have you have you dropped any fruit
there I can’t I can’t stand where I’m at
can’t stand where and God’s like okay
cool but since you’re
there sir you might as well represent me
and do what I ask you to do bear
fruit and some of us are so hung up on
our
preferences of the Season we want to be
in that’s really good that we do not
bear fruit in the season that we
actually are in oh I’m being strong
today I want you to understand that God
is a god of stewardship he’s watching
what you do with what you already
have and you’re sitting here asking God
for something new and he said I’ll make
what you’re doing already
fresh you bearing fruit there is that
relationship bringing any fruit he says
and I don’t want you to just go and bear
fruit watch this oh I want you to
produce fruit that
will last so even going back to that job
scenario you hate where you at but God’s
saying bear fruit
there yeah then he’s going to say and I
don’t want you to just bear fruit that
stays when you’re there my
God I want you to be so fruitful that
when I progress you to another place
what you did was lasting
there okay I can’t even touch that
that’s a leadership course in itself
it says and so that whatever you ask in
my name the father will give you now I
don’t have time to break this down
because it’s not really my message today
but there is something connected to you
getting your prayers
answered and you bearing fruit wherever
you’re
at I need you to it says I want you to
be in a place cuz I appointed you to be
there bear fruit fruit that will last
and so whatever you ask in my name the
father will give to you it don’t really
make sense to me until I remember that
God is a god of
stewardship he’s not giving any more to
anybody who’s not using the footprint
that they have to create fruit right
now okay that made you mad okay so
acronym for fruit it’s going to be my
faith
repeating until it
transforms so go back to that job
scenario I’m in a situation an
internship a job a housing situation
that I hate but today I’m changing my
perspective if you watch last week’s
message by getting
gratitude and and then it will become
fresh to you and when it becomes fresh
you can then produce fruit when I then
begin to produce fruit I start trying to
produce fruit that remains and when I
produce fruit that remains watch this
the only way I can do that is by doing
the same Faith step over and
over repeating it until whatever I’m
looking at
transforms you want to see something
change in your life keep doing the same
thing that you know will bring you
results you want to lose
weight I’m so proud of the people of
transformation nation and Transformation
Church few weeks ago I gave a a fitness
challenge and we decided that we were
going to be fit to finish and every
morning whether it’s 4:00 5: a.m. 6:
a.m. I’m getting notifications on my
Instagram of people walking for at least
30 minutes all over the world and I’m
from Honolulu to Paris to California to
Tulsa that like y yeah y’all can clap
for that especially if you’re not
walking you could definitely at least
[Applause]
clap
cuz the truth of the matter is you going
to be mad come
June and you’re going to cancel
vacations cuz of how you look in that
bathing
suit
okay let’s just be honest and then it’s
going to work on your self-esteem and
then you’re going to start drinking
again see y’all got to understand that
the enemy plays on our
insecurities and so how can walking
today keep me from having a baby 7
months from now so good on cuz you know
once you
start get a little
loose you start answering DMS that you
would ignore
usually and Trey kwante is going to get
up in your
DMs and take you the Cheesecake
[Music]
Factory what I’m saying is if your faith
repeating
today and tomorrow y and the next day
I’m not talking about being extreme I’m
talking of being intentional
that’s what are you saying out of your
mouth every morning when you wake up
today is going to be a day full of favor
God’s hand is on my life when I’m in
unfavorable situations I am still favor
because God is with me today I will make
a difference wherever I go and wherever
I am fruit will be left because of the
love that is in my life what are you
saying but if you say that every day I
watch Charles and and his son son today
out in the back say a confession and
Arlo is how old six 4 years old dang you
know when you getting old you just start
putting out numbers how old is he
19 he four years old and this little boy
is saying this confession
strong and and and it’s just his faith
being repeated every day until
confidence is instilled in him he going
to be 25 in a on a hard situation and
when he starts getting pressed guess
what’s going to come out of him
like I’m just saying somebody shout at
me fruit Faith repeating until it
transformed for nine years when it’s
been time to share Vision I’ve gotten up
here really excited because I think
vision is my thing like if I was only if
I only could speak on one thing for the
rest of my life I can make people
believe in the vision that God’s given
me how do you know we
here like if you saw where we started if
you saw how this thing got cracking if
you saw how many of y’all wasn’t
there and when I still stood up with my
knees shaking and and and ashy ankles
and ashy hands and and just just said
what I felt like God said to
me and now some of y’all to move how
many people just in the room have moved
from another place to be a part of this
church look oh y’all y’all got to give
it up for that that is w i l d
wild so all I’m saying is if you’re new
around here vision’s a big
deal because the Bible tells us in
hebecca
2:2 that that that you’re supposed to
write the vision and make it plain on
tablets that he may run who reads it now
I started to thinking about that and and
it’s parallel with another scripture
says where there is no
vision the people do what that means
they die like I want to make this a very
literal hard in your face translation
where you don’t have Vision people
die purposes
die Destinies die have you ever met
somebody who was super gifted and didn’t
know what to do with their
gifting I mean like people who is like
if I had
116th of your
ability what I would do with it it it’s
because they have no everybody shout at
me Vision vision and so when I started
to think about Vision I God has done a
transformation in me and on me as a
leader and I I have to be very
transparent with you today I’m going to
keep it humble open and transparent cuz
we’re hot at this church every time I’ve
gotten up here until today I felt like I
was trying to sell
vision is
good I’m letting you see my Evolution as
a leader in front of you I was I was
selling Vision cuz the truth of the
matter is a lot of time I didn’t know if
it was going to
work and it’s crazy how God sometimes
calls you to a position to get out there
and lead and you still questioning
stuff I mean it’s almost like being a
parent it’s like oh hold on y y’all just
going to leave me with
them y’all not coming to the crib with
me like after that two days and they be
like all right God bless you it’s like
wait okay
no manual yeah no
tutorial just
trust that’s good that’s how vision is
no manual no tutorial just trusting what
you heard from
God and um I decided this year that I
was not going to be selling
Vision I’m just going to share
it great great I’m just going to share
Vision cuz I know now 9 years in if God
said
it no no no no I’m not even this is not
blowing smoke to you like if he now if I
say it question it right like if it’s
just my plan and my
idea okay maybe but I’m talking about a
word from God and that’s why I I want to
make this a point just so it’s stamped
in time I’m not selling my vision I’m
sharing his vision
great okay so today I don’t want you to
I’m just the
vessel today I’m just going to tell you
what happened transparently and I’m
going share it with you I don’t even
want to preach at you because at the end
of the day I don’t want you to get happy
about something that ain’t even mine I
want you to get happy about what’s
his and if you take a hold of what I
share with you oh my goodness that song
we just sang build your
church build it from the ground up I’m
telling you you have never seen a
Revival like what we’re about to see in
this city and through this movement I
need at least 14 people to be with me I
said you’ve never seen a move auua was
not the greatest movement of God that
happened in Tulsa I’m telling you
there’s something that is about to
happen but it’s got to start in a
church it’s got to start in a house with
people who actually
believe it’s got to start with a people
who are actually surrendered yes who
will give up things they like for things
that God
loves okay that’s too
much then the Lord answered me and said
hebecca 22 write the vision and make it
plain on tablets that’s why we got
represent
everywhere that’s why on the clothes
that’s why it’s on the shirts that’s why
it’s on the billboard what are they
talking about represent that that ain’t
no scripture this is the vision he gave
us right to represent God to the lost
and found for one reason what is it
transformation in Christ we want people
to meet meet Christ and be
transformed so if it’s through drawing
them in through a ransom
[Music]
play do y’all know there were over how
many people got saved during Ransom it
was like 600 and something people that
got
saved and they was
mad that we used a Beyonce song that
they
knew
you knew the
[Applause]
song But if getting church people
mad who have religious and won’t even
share the gospel with
anybody to get 600 plus people saved in
a
weekend we’ll take
it oh and we’re doing Ransom again this
year so
please don’t get it
twisted oh y’all thought y’all was going
to run us off we done better better than
it it’s ever been why are you saying
that Pastor Mike because the truth of
the matter is there’s more lost
people who are not going to come and
hear me speak for an hour and 15 minutes
true but they going to come see the
dancing and the fire and that’s why
Broadway is what it is people fly all
over the I’m just trying to give yall a
little vision behind what and why we do
the things that we’re doing cuz we’re
supposed to go into all of these
worlds it didn’t say go into all the
Earth it says go all in it’s going to
all the
world the fin World means
systems going to the music system the
financial system the real estate
system people want to just stay in the
church
World okay this was not a part of any of
my notes but I’m sharing video vision
and it just comes up out of
me I want you to see the goal of HCA
tutu it’s not just to write the
vision and it’s not just to put it
plain it says that he may run who reads
it vision is supposed to be
shared most people write Vision make it
plain and then don’t share
who knows what God’s placed on your
heart come
on where is it visible where where where
are you continually
repeating until it transform where are
you putting your faith at where is the
fruit and it stops many times like God I
did what you said during 21 days of
prayer Fest I wrote The Vision I made it
plain and God
said you got to put it in a
place that people can read it
who are supposed to help you run with
it so if vision is not shared watch this
it’s
stale let me make it a point Vision that
is not continually shared becomes stale
and some of you have vision from God
that is so crusty not because it is not
anointed it’s because you’ve stopped
sharing it you stopped sharing that you
were going to open a daycare one day for
single mothers
you stop sharing that you were going to
write that book about what you’ve been
through in the first 20 years of your
life you stop sharing that your dream is
to go in with athletes and lead them to
Christ through nutrition you stop
sharing wow because you got disappointed
or it didn’t happen in a season you stop
sharing that you want to build a
block yeah and you stop sharing because
right now you don’t even have your
family in the house you desire them to
be in so you feel like a fraud because
you’re believing for something bigger
than what you’re seeing in your own
life oh I’m in somebody’s business right
now God called you a pastor but you
won’t even do a small group because
you’re scared you don’t know the Bible
good enough you need to stop watching
all of those critics talk about and
tearing down everybody Paul didn’t have
no training when he started proclaiming
the gospel to everybody he was killing
Christians on a Tuesday and by Friday he
was bringing people to Christ
do not let people keep you from the
thing that God has called you
too but if you don’t share that Vision
it becomes
stale that’s why every time you see me I
got something represent on I was on
national TV on
Friday represent pen right there the
lady when I got off she said what does
that mean I said oh I’m so glad you
asked I was able to share the gospel
with one of the
anchors why are you saying this Pastor
Mike it’s because the vision has to be
shared so so that’s why we do Vision
every Sunday here that’s why when
Charles and Abby got up here and they
said you know the vision of our church
yeah and some of y’all been here 22
years and can’t recite
it it’s really hard to live out what you
can’t
remember it’s very it’s very difficult
and I’m telling it’s one sense you know
every Drake
song Oh some of yall you know every Reba
McIntyre
song come on you know every Ariana
Grande song and you know every Stevie
Wonder song I think I hit everybody I on
know you know every Fred Hamman song
okay I got everybody
now good but you can’t remember Vision
because Vision hasn’t become valuable to
you and where there is no vision
let me give you another translation it
says people cast off
restraint let me give it let me give it
to you a little a little deeper where
there is no vision people stop
caring any area of your life that you
don’t care in you don’t have Vision
in so if you don’t care about a budget
it’s because you don’t have a vision for
your money that’s good job and that’s
why every every end of the month you
stressed cuz when you got the paycheck
you mysteriously ended up at the
mall to pick up one lotion from Bath and
Body Works one and you know they always
have a sale how does Bath and Body Works
always you buy two candles then you get
six lotions and then you get nine
deodorizers what okay give me two of
them like what
but the only reason you can stop
caring is cuz you didn’t have
Vision what I’m what I’m asking
everybody to do is make a fresh
commitment that you want vision for your
home vision for your relationship vision
for your marriage vision for your
friendships and that’s why I have to
share Vision somebody say share Vision
share Vision matter of fact I want to
share fresh Vision put that on the
screen this is the title of my sermon
fresh Vision the power of shared
Vision do you have friends that don’t
know the vision God’s giv you cuz if
your friends don’t know the vision they
don’t even know what position they going
to be playing in their life in your life
that’s see that’s why a lot of times
when you get ready to make a step your
friend group Jacks you up cuz you never
gave them a vision like I’m not going to
be sitting here cussing and sleeping
around with y’all for
long I’m trying to be real up in here I
know I’m whing out right now but God’s
placed inside of me a Ministry for women
who are
virtuous and so I’mma bust up the club
with y’all tonight one more
time one more time for the one
[Applause]
time but I’m I’m but but
tomorrow but what I’m saying is this is
why it’s so hard many times to break
away cuz even if you can’t live it out
yet you’ve never shared the vision
y’all remember last week when I put on
those um Apple Pro situations I want to
do that again real quick because I I
found out a way to connect them where
y’all could see what I’m
seeing shout out to the tech
team okay so like this is so crazy like
okay is it on okay here we
go all right here we go can y’all see it
yet
wave at me if you can see me oh my
goodness okay so watch this
y’all watch this I’mma show y’all some
photos look I’mma pick this up and put
it over here and I’m still looking at
y’all but it’s right here cat what what
do you say to people who come in
church
okay cat you didn’t say nothing oh hold
on hold on hold on hold on hold on oh I
like
this uh oh I got to turn the sound on is
the sound on
y’all sound people turn the sound on
well y’all can see that okay let me
there we
go I did hit
play is it not playing for
y’all I’mma do something
else let me FaceTime
somebody where Charles
at do y’all see
this y’all can’t see what’s
happening oh my gosh can y’all see it
now I’m a FaceTime
Charles y’all look at
this
can y’all see
it what is up bro and I’mma put you like
back here in the balcony over
here do y’all see how crazy this is like
his head is right there y’all right here
Cat Williams right
here I’m just trying to share some
Vision with
y’all it it it went off again here hang
up I’m hanging up on you Charles it’s
back
can y’all see
this now it looks like I could walk off
this but I’mma stop cuz I know the stage
is somewhere right around where I’m
at but I’m in another place right now
imagine praying up
here and then coming back to see your
baby’s kids just right here
like now now now the only only reason
y’all can see this is because I’m
sharing
it I could be up here all by myself and
nobody’s able to see it but it was
glitching a little bit because you
didn’t actually have it on Scott where
you at come here come here Scott now
Scott travels all over the world with
me and uh I love y’all give it up for
Scotty come sit right here
Scotty I want you to try
this cuz there’s no power
unless the vision
is so even if it glitches for
fans and for people that are out in the
crowd if I actually put the vision on
somebody they’ll be able to see what
nobody else can see how you feeling
Scotty crazy
crazy look at him he don’t even know
what he
doing just pinching things
[Applause]
what you doing right now Scott I’m
listening to cat you listening to cat
yeah now they can’t hear cat but you can
because you’re fully
immersed in the vision that’s good
that’s good now what you doing
Scott cuz you look stupid to all of
us but the truth of the matter you’re
experiencing something that none of
these thousands of people are
experiencing that’s right cuz you’re
fully
submersed in the VIS and he would not
have this unless I shared
it and you know what Scott this actually
is yours
[Music]
now no thank
you cuz it’s not enough just to share
the vision you got to own the
Vision come on take it that’s yours
now what
happens this is not Mah’s or kylin’s
Scott that is
yours I need everybody to see what
happened is that because somebody was
willing to let me share it with him
that’s great great they became the owner
owner of
it this is how Vision
Works this is not Pastor Mike’s Vision
this is not transformation Church’s
Vision this is God Vision that then he
allows us to share in great until we
feel like uhoh I’m an owner of this I
don’t represent at
church I represent everywhere I go when
I am when I’m
mad I got to remember that presenting
God to the lost and found for Train
That’s the go and whatever God has given
you as a
vision my question to you today is do
you own
it or is it on
loan is it
borrowed and most of us have never seen
fully what God wants to do CU you won’t
own the vision he’s placed in your
hand what do you saying Pastor Mike
don’t just observe the vision own the
vision great
good you know what I’ve learned is that
the place where vision is released is
not the place where it’s
received so today I’m releasing Vision
to you but this is not where God spoke
to
me matter of fact I need to change my
posture right now I’m G change this take
this down cuz I’m about to get real
vulnerable with
y’all so I need to change my position
cuz I was in a I was in a position like
this
God help
me God I don’t know what to
do God there’s thousands of people
showing up I didn’t ask for
this search my heart oh
God there’s anything in me that’s not
like
you could you remove
it
father I
repent for every moment that I got in
the way of what you were trying to
do God I can’t go back to this church if
you don’t speak to
me I need
you Pastor Mike why are you why are you
doing this because I want to show you
for real how you get
Vision it’s not loud on a
platform it’s
quiet with your real
emotions God is not
scared of what you’re scared
of and he’s not fearful of what you’re
fearful of but he needs you to bring it
to him and
so two years ago can I be can I be like
super real with y’all today
okay it’s even a little weird for me to
even coin this Vision
Sunday cuz two years ago I had a a
a really traumatic situation on Vision
Sunday um we were closed for
covid and
um just had about 200 300 people in 1519
while they were finishing the
construction here and I I went up and
preached the message about seeing Vision
clearly and um I mean it was powerful
and I did this little example with
saliva and it kind of turned into a big
deal
um it wasn’t what I was planning that’s
okay I know that
now but back
[Music]
then I’m on TMZ and CNN and and all your
family is talking about me and asking
you why you still go to that church
and I shared uh a screenshot with some
of my brothers earlier today that I
cannot repeat on this telecast
but people basically
uh had written off every good thing that
I’d ever
done because of one thing that wasn’t a
sin it was just
gross it was just
disgusting but I can think of a lot of
other things y’all do with spit
too
anyway y’ I haven’t talked about this in
2 years okay so I’m trying to be
vulnerable I’m trying to posture I need
another pillow hold up let me posture
myself I need a weighted blanket up
[Applause]
here what I found out is vision is often
cultivated in
valleys did you hear what I just
said if you’re in a low moment if you’re
in a moment that doesn’t feel like a
Mountaintop I want you to know that many
times if you would just sit still and
wait on God it’s the place where he
uncovers the vision for the
Mountaintop there’s too much light at
the top for you to get the
vision so he puts you in a dark place a
place where there’s no light on you a
place where you feel torn down and
that’s when he whispers to
you and today
um the reason I changed my posture and I
didn’t want to yell on Vision Sunday and
scream and try to convince you is cuz I
told you I’m not selling this no more
I’m just sharing it I got my foot up I’m
I feel good the only thing that make me
feel better as my wife sitting here
because the truth of the matter is real
vision is always write this down real
vision is always
vulnerable if you don’t feel vulnerable
when God gives you a vision it’s just a
good
idea if it doesn’t seem bigger than you
if it’s not like oh my gosh I there will
never be a way I can do that then that’s
just a good idea that you need plans and
people for but a real vision from God
always makes you
vulnerable so after the spit hit the
fan um me and my wife were on a station
in the
city and I had to formulate an
apology and uh address it because I
didn’t want my sheep the members in my
church fighting for something and I
hadn’t said anything about it we got
your back I know you got my back but
it’s not your responsibility to be the
shepherd when I’m called
to and I understood that and so I had to
say something even though I just wanted
to fight can I be honest y’all I wanted
to line every comment
up I’m good with my words y’all I would
have I would
have
and the Holy Spirit said through my wife
turn social media off and get away from
Tulsa well my friends happen to be
leaving the next day to go to Nappa to
celebrate um a birthday and like Nappa
is not like a place that I would ever
pick to go because it doesn’t have a
beach and to me if I’m going anywhere
that’s not for Ministry I need sand
water
shells I need I needed it all but I
didn’t have time I was so clouded I was
like I just need to be with people who
care about me right now and so we were
on a plane 24 hours after being on the
stage to Napa now if anybody knows about
Nappa Nappa is a place for rich people
and
wine like no it really okay so y’all
looking at me it’s like Nappa it’s like
rich people and wine I don’t drink wine
and I was not rich so I was like why am
I
here and I found myself on a
balcony and for the first time in my
life I’m every morning waking
up and I’m sitting looking out at a
Vineyard and I’m like God why am I here
and he said just keep reading your
word and
somehow in my daily devotion I got to
John
15 and I’m literally sitting out here
every single day I got a picture of it
can you show them the picture y’all see
it look at how struggling I
am I was going
through after I heard people I prayed
for their
children and gave them
money personally when they houses were
about to be foreclosed on
seeing them do podcast on
me watching Pastor friends that I built
their
conferences take me off
of the
flyer I’m I’m I’m saying it’s all right
now but in the moment I want to be
real it did not feel all
right I wasn’t singing the songs we Firm
Foundation I was singing
why why like
but then I came to John 15 and I want
you to leave these pictures up as I read
this it says I am the true grape
vine and my father is the
gardener he cuts off every branch of
mine that does not
produce
fruit and he prones the
branches that do bear fruit so they will
produce
even
more now I’m sitting here every day
watching these guys y’all see him back
there in the orange vest like like over
there y’all see him and there’s one over
there there’s dudes in orange vest
coming out at 6:00 a.m. every day to
what I think is a dead
field to me with no education it’s like
I thought there was supposed to be big
greates here I thought there was
supposed to be but I guess wine grows in
another season cuzz it’s just
twigs and every day they would come out
there like 15 of them this whole thing
is huge so you can’t see and they’re
literally like paying so close attention
to these twig leaves and they’re
going and literally I’m watching them do
this as I’m like here is
[Music]
Holy and
there and God said look at the scripture
again
he said I am the true grape vine and my
father that means god that means Yahweh
the one we’re praying to is a
gardener and he has something in his
hand that
cuts cuz verse two said he cuts off
every branch of
mine that doesn’t produce
fruit and at the time I was too prideful
to even think that I God I’m I’m
fruitful look at all the people getting
saved get all the thing God why is this
happening to me he said there was some
things in you
Michael that weren’t producing
fruit wow and I had to cut on you so you
could realize that you didn’t need
them I think I’m being too vulnerable
right now y’all going to use this as
ammunition but I I I just feel there’s a
few people in here that need to hear the
real
of what it looks like to be used by
God and then this the part that messed
me up for real and he
prunes the branches that do bear
fruit now prune is another word for cut
hold on
wait so I get cut if I don’t bear fruit
and I get cut if I do bear fruit
the Revelation is you get cut either
way so so many times it feels the
same but it’s
not and the enemy would like to
discourage you that the cutting of the
last season meant that God is done with
you he cut back the friendships cut back
the relationship cut back the influence
he ain’t done with
you he’s cutting on you because he has
use
of okay just read the rest of it he said
he prunes or cuts the branches that do
bear fruit so that they will produce
even more fruit the last cut is for more
fruit God took me through a 2-year
pruning
process cuz God’s measure of maturity is
not more fans not more followers not
more finances not more
God’s measure of maturity is more
fruit I don’t care if you got more money
is there more fruit in your life are you
more
generous do you walk in more love Do you
have more peace cuz all of those things
without the fruit means
nothing so so for everybody in here who
has a vision I just want to give you a
vision for fresh fruit in your life and
I’m just going to give you three things
I learned in the last two years so that
you can apply them to your life okay
real quickly the first thing you need to
know is if you going to get fresh fruit
your faith is going to be
tested I know I’m a Christian
now y’all church people made me go back
and renew my Christian
card no I know I know I know I actually
believe in God now I know I can turn the
other cheek yeah yeah
yeah I gave people severance pay who I
knew was talking about
me I I I I I know I know that I can love
my enemy
now but if you think your faith being
tested is a punishment you don’t
understand the god that we
serve it’s actually watch this your
faith being tested is not a punishment
it’s a
privilege ask
job have you considered
wow y’all not ready for this word cuz
I’m not screaming you don’t understand
God chose job to go through all those
trials and the reason some of yall like
but not me he never choose you cuz you
would leave him the moment he took your
apartment
away he would never you too weak in your
faith he’d never Choose You cuz one
person be
offended but your faith being
tested is a
privilege and I didn’t know it at the
time but I know it now and I’m I’m I’m
coming to tell you because God’s going
to give you a vision and your faith is
going to be tested you going to be
sitting there like God was this you yeah
what the heck all the people I thought
was going to be here with me and this is
gone where the money
at my husband’s doubting me my wife is
doubting me my parents can’t see why I’m
God at Le okay you gave me the vision
tell somebody
else so I’m not out here alone he said I
gave it to
you I don’t give
Vision to a
committee I give Vision to a man or a
woman and it is their responsibility to
write it down it is their responsibility
to keep it fresh it is their
responsibility to share that
vision and transformation
church I just thank you for being a
place that I could come to every
Sunday and even though I was the pastor
of this church this was my my place of
faith I would come in here so many days
and not have any energy to do
anything another staff member just left
and all they said was it’s because God
called them somewhere
else after after 6 years you can’t even
tell me the real
reason but you do subliminal Instagram
[Music]
posts I’m being too real up here I
[Music]
I but this is real
like but I would come in here and I
would see the people who
stayed I would see the Black Sheets over
all the
sections that used to be filled with
thousands of
people and praise and worship would go
forth and y’all would y’all would
worship like this place was
packed and it just gave me just
enough to get up and do what I knew I
was called to
do for every encouraging word for every
prayer for every person that still came
for every person that joined in the
middle of all of this stuff and you’re
like why everybody a little okay I don’t
even know but I’m here
like thank you because when my faith was
tested this church was a place of faith
for me yeah the very thing that I had
given my life for became a Life Source
to
me and and this is why I tell you that
that that your faith being tested it’s
going to happen somebody say it’s going
to happen it’s going toen in your
marriage your faith is going to be
tested you going to be looking at them
like God I made the wrong
decision look at them look at them look
at them like you
go but you it ain’t even real until it’s
been
tested oh God how do you know gold is
real it’s been tested in
fire James chapter 1 verse 2 it says
dear brothers and sisters when trouble
of any kind come your way any kind
consider it and op
opportunity for great joy for you know
that when your faith is tested your
endurance has a chance to grow so let it
grow somebody say Let It Grow Let It
Grow for when your endurance is fully
developed watch this this is the promise
you will be perfect perfect and complete
needing nothing what if you don’t need
more money to feel
complete what if you just need your
faith to be tested to the point where
you will be perfect and complete needing
nothing that means everything God does
is a cherry on
top it ain’t even the cake it ain’t even
the meal this is just
extra so if you want vision for fresh
fruit your faith is going to be tested
number two if you want vision for fresh
fruit watch this you need to have
friends that are
trusted and the reason I put the word
trusted is because a lot of us have
friends we don’t have a lot of trusted
friends
and in in in a world where I mean
literally on Facebook like those are my
Facebook friends like we’ve watered down
the word so much that I had to put some
more weight on the back end of it do you
have Trends friends that are trusted
have you found your tribe
yet have you found the people that is
like if we going to war we going
together or if we crying we crying
together and if we turned up we turned
up together and if and and if and if
we’re
hurting we’re and the truth of the
matter is in the place where we should
find more of that in the church it’s
very very
scarce the only thing that got me
through this season of testing was I had
trusted
friends Brien Aaron came to that hotel
room that I was in with
Natalie and my wife is sitting there
holding me I’m a grown man and I’m
curled up in a fetal position because of
the thoughts of what this might
mean I was overwhelmed I wanted to punch
people I wanted to punch walls I wanted
I wanted to get up and say this the this
the third time I’ve done the example
stupid like I want
okay but God was like uh-uh I’m cutting
on you he said it’s not them they’re
just the tool I’m
using what happens when you pray to let
God get
back at everybody and he said I’m using
them to get something out of
you so I just got to let this happen
yep cuz I’m with
you and if I be for you
who can be against you he said let me
cut because I’m a
surgeon I know how to cut you in such a
way that it’ll keep all of your passion
but take off all the
perversion y’all know that’s what the
word of God does it says it can cut
through bone and Marrow do you know how
precise of a cut it would have to
be
I thank God for my trusted
friends thank God for Aaron and Bri I
thank God for Scott and mo I remember
Scott he’s sitting here and we playing
right now but the reason it’s so easy
for me to give Scott whatever that man
saw me in the back when I did not want
to come out here wow so praise and
worship has started and I’m in the back
and he sees me sitting there tired out
of my mind and he just prays for me and
close the door you need anything Pastor
Mike no he said you got this today God’s
with you I’m with you you you got this
and he would just encourage me I can’t
tell you how many times
Mo I would tell him Mo I can’t I can’t
even do nothing for that on Dat night
can you just go pick something out for
me cuz I still got to water the seed
that God has called me even in this
season where I feel
depleted and mo would bring back stuff
it’s like hold on bro you doing too much
brother
I’mma
I’mma have to keep this up when I get
better I’m just being real right now
y’all can’t tell you how many times my
my brothers would just come over I’m
checking on you Mike you good Brent you
good hey bro I almost had to kill
somebody in the comments the other day
bro they not going to mess this Blood
Gang here I ain’t like and I’m like hold
on calm down calm down but I’m kind of
like yes yes yes like come on you want
to know who’ll fight for you you know
what I’m saying saying
like this is too real day I’m
I but I didn’t I didn’t want to I didn’t
want to sell you Vision I just wanted to
share it with
you and I remember going to
Napa and thinking of Proverbs 17:7 a
friend loves at all
times and a brother is born for
adversity and this is what I pray for
every person because your faith will be
tested I’m praying that at some point
your trusted friends turn into brothers
and
sisters can you put when we was on the
balcony this is what we did every
morning I was up praying and every night
can you put where uh we were on this
balcony sitting around a
campfire and all Aaron would ask me is
how do you feel
today and they would just let me
talk they weren’t praying for me like
come here lift your hands you’re going
to be delivered tonight from hurt and
pain they just held space for me so good
they they let me
cuss I know church people I know I know
but I was
hurting I they they let they they let me
say things they let me and I was getting
texts from people like Jay and John and
I was getting texts from people like
lrae and Keon Henderson and Tim FaceTime
I was just surrounded by people who were
built for the
adversity C can can I just tell you
they’re not a friend if they are not
built for
adversity call them something
else but if they can’t go through a hard
season with you they weren’t a friend to
begin
with and it’s beautiful when you go
through Seasons like this cuz it clears
things up real
quick I found out who people were real
fast and that don’t mean I’m not going
around I go around some of them right
now but I know who they are now you not
going to trick me no more oh bro you
should no no I don’t trust you but I’m
here God bless you what’s up
picture let’s
go I know who that is
now you need that you need trusted
friends third thing and this we’re going
to end you’re going to have to you said
send them Lord she said send them Lord
you have to be what you want
that’s so so I want to tell you how to
get trusted friends be
one sew the seed into it who are you
encouraging every single week every
single day who do you know has lost
something and you took your $6 and made
something and just went and and and and
it’s going to be it’s going to be
difficult cuz it’s not hard I mean it is
hard many times to be generous to people
cuz most people won’t even want to
accept
it but I’m just saying if you want this
type of friendship be this type of
friend the reason Aaron and Bri were
there when I was in my Valley is cuz we
were there when they were in their
Valley when they when they were about to
get a divorce we showed up at their
house I’m not telling their business
they sat on this stage and already told
everybody we showed up at their house
and was like hell to the
N no no and they were convinced like
this is what we’re going to do and I was
like Over My Dead Body have you tried
this have you tried this have you tried
this when they didn’t have the will to
fight for themselves they had friends
that would get in the fire with them I’m
trying not to get too happy but I’m just
telling you everybody needs
a space of Faith where your faith is
okay to be tested you also need friends
that are trusted and this last mon you
need spiritual formation
training I don’t care how saved you are
if you’re not still learning something
you’re actually
becoming
vulnerable to the
enemy it was David
where it says at time at the time where
kings were supposed to go to
war when he was supposed to be fighting
again he stayed back the only reason he
saw B
Sheba is because he was not still doing
the things he had been trained to
do and can I just say that nobody
is exempt yeah from falling no matter
how long you’ve been in the
game if when it’s time to train you
don’t spiritually train if you don’t do
the fast that God tells you to do if you
don’t read the word if you don’t have
quiet time if you won’t worship if you
won’t do those things I’m telling you
right now what you’re doing is setting
yourself up to be vulnerable to the
enemy and how did I spiritually form
during that time there were no classes
for me there were no nothing I I went to
books I read this book right here by
John Mark comr the ruthless elimination
of
hurry this book transformed my
life I read this book leadership Pain by
Sam
Chan this book changed my life it was
spiritually forming me for the next
season of what God had for me I read the
bless church I read other books by Miles
Monroe the purpose and power of a leader
I was being spiritually
formed but I devoted myself to
it nobody told me to do this and the sad
thing about the church today is
everybody’s waiting for a program for
their
progress what if you don’t get a program
for your
progress what if you don’t get a podcast
for your progress
what if it’s on
you Acts 2:42 it says they
devoted what’s that next word
themselves this year I’m praying that
every person would devote themselves
Pastor Mike why did you just tell us
this because two years ago I started on
this journey of
transformation this is what produced so
much fruit in my life simple equation
Faith plus friend WIS plus spiritual
formation equals
fruit we’re yelling fruit and fresh
fruit this year this is how you get it
Faith plus what friends plus what
spiritual formation equals what
fruit so this the vision for our church
from now
on all we’re going to do is provide an
opportunity for you to have a space of
Faith to actually
make
friends and have a place for Spiritual
formation I told our team we’re
canceling everything
else cuz everything else doesn’t produce
fruit some of the stuff just we like to
do I’m going make an announcement we’re
not doing conference this
year oh that’s how serious I am about
this I said I want to take all the
Creative Energy all the money all the
effort and energy cuz at the end of the
day I don’t want just a hype
experience and there’s real
transformation that happens at the
conference and we going to do the
conference again don’t get it twisted
but this
year he said Michael I want you to
double down on what produces
fruit and it’s not a
conference what produces a fruit in
this is doing the things that our faith
needs repeatedly until it
transforms so Pastor Mike what do you
want us to do first thing I want you to
make a commitment to God’s house this
year I told the mended men I said I
don’t want you to miss 10 practices I
said you can only miss 10 practices this
year and they was all looking at me and
I said when we come to Sunday service
this is
practice y’all thought this was the
game so good I said the game is out
there it’s when we’re on those jobs and
with our relatives that don’t believe
and when we’re in the grocery that’s the
game and everybody coming to church like
we have the game this is
practice
practice what I’m telling you right now
is that when you mis practice you don’t
know how to run the
place and the reason why the enemy is
able to run up the score on you out
there why you can’t get to control of
your browser history why you cannot say
no to those Temptations it’s cuz you
keep missing
practice I’m telling the whole church
you get
10 I’m get you got 10 weekends
off some of y’all already used up eight
of
them
but what would happen if you made a
fresh commitment to the house of God
this year and that every week you knew
you were at least one time in a space
that he could speak to you that my hair
come with a hat on like we don’t care
here your other Church might have cared
how you looked I rather you be in a
space where somebody can see
you that you could experience what I
experienced when I didn’t want to be
here somebody else’s Hallelujah helped
me
okay and we’re putting new emphasis on
our Tulsa
campus and we’re putting new energy here
so if you are in Tulsa I’m saying this
cuz I know transformation nation is
watching and you going to keep getting
all the things that you already getting
but if you’re in Tulsa don’t watch from
the
house they don’t want me to passor them
today you’re still
hiding and can I be real vulnerable with
you you’re
lazy I I I know it is more convenient
but the calling of Christ is not about
convenience what I’m asking you to do is
get in the
place that somebody can see
you second
thing how are you going to get
friends we are now changing be groups
and we’re giving it a new name because
God gave me fresh Vision somebody say
fresh Vision fresh Vision there were a
couple of things about be groups that I
wanted to change and I’ll tell you them
today just so you can be aware number
one the logo had to change because it
was a puzzle piece and many of you
didn’t know that but the how things look
and what it says means a lot to me and
the puzzle piece now that me and Natalie
have a son that is currently on the
autism spectrum that means something
different to
us and and and so I was like that
doesn’t completely describe what I want
this to be and the second thing is what
we were trying to do in the small groups
is we were trying to put the teaching
discipleship with the fellowship right
and it can get weird
yeah like when you come in trying to
make friends and they’re like what did
God give you out of Romans 6 today it’s
like come on let’s be honest like
sometimes I just want to talk about the
game and what’s going on and we can pray
together and stuff but and we got some
weird stuff happening in the be groups
like people started forming their own
churches and people started like it just
got weird and I was like
no in Acts
2:42 they Fellowship together and they
ate together that’s separate from
devoting themselves to the Apostle
teaching they did that but then they
just chilled and talked and played pool
and went to restaurants together so the
major thing that we’re going to do is
we’re going to pull out the teaching
aspect out of our small
groups and and what we’re going to do is
make it relational well what does it
mean you’re going to find your
tribe matter of fact that’s the new name
of our small group
tribes yeah and I’m believing for every
person in trans information Church
you’re going to find your tribe this
year I’m not talking 50 people but I’m
talking 3 to
10 that when you have a baby you don’t
need the whole church to come and gather
around you but those five to seven
people right they going to make you feel
special the statistics tell us that if
three people know your name when you
come to a large Gathering it feels like
you own the place you ever been to a
concert thousands of people but your
friends is there
and you looking
at you don’t need everybody else to know
you but you need somebody to know
you this is why I’m asking you not to
just run out of here after church I know
you’re
hungry but your soul is
too and it’s Desiring relationship that
you’re trying to find through a
screen so good when it could actually be
with a
handshake
we’re going to find our
tribes we’re going to eat together we’re
going to play pickle ball together we’re
going we’re going to lift weights
together we’re going to knit
together we going I don’t know who going
to be knitting but somebody is I know
one of y’all is going to be
knitting and and let me say this I need
leaders for
this I need people that say I’m not just
going
to observe the vision I’mma Own
It I’mma open up my house I’m going I’m
going to go to our clubhouse we’re going
to meet at the the coffee shop we’re
going to get together cuz I know there
are people out there like me and watch
this different than me let me very clear
we do not want our small groups to just
be people who like the same things
together somebody say I’m going to find
my
tribe and the last thing is we’re going
to create an opportunity for Spiritual
formation here on Wednesday
nights we’re going to pray from 6:00 to
6
4 and that’s then at
7:15 we’re going to have classes all
over this
building
yeah and we’re going
to we’re going to teach
you things that are not coming from the
platform we’re going to teach you how to
pray we’re going to teach you about
relationships we’re going to teach you
about finances we’re going to teach you
about parenting we’re going to teach you
we’re going to call in people who have
an anointing and a Grace to do that and
you going to be able to bring your kids
so so some of y’all just going to have a
break you just going to be like
here and you going to throw your kids
off and you going to get 50
minutes to actually know that you’re
growing and if you’ve already been
coming to our pray with me Wednesdays
there’s already hundreds of people
showing up and we going to be we going
to be out of here by
8:00 and some of the parents I know
you’re like 8:00 it’s a school night
your kids are still running around at
your
house you trying to give a melatonin at
8:15 I know I’m just playing I’m just
playing some of y’all are really on it
what I’m saying is one night
investment for your spirit and your soul
to know that you’re
growing Pastor that’s it that’s
it see because a lot of churches want to
do a lot of things
not here
anymore we’re going to
focus cuz we want
fruit to do that I know there’s a couple
of things that I have to do emly uh will
uh Charles Abby can y’all come sit on
the couch with me real quick so uh for
for for this to happen um when you start
thinking about fruit and you start
thinking about how do you do this you
need people who actually carry pieces of
the video
Vis and these people have been carrying
pieces of vision for a long time with me
and Natalie um but with fresh Vision
there needs to be fresh
repositioning and so today I ain’t want
to do no big thing I just wanted to
invite them to the couch so you could
see what’s going to happen this campus
is about to build that song build your
church I felt that thing through my toes
today and it’s going to be an Anthem
because it’s about to start going but I
know for what God has apostolically
called me to
do I
cannot be the local Pastor that
everybody desires me to be I don’t have
the bandwidth to build out these huge
visions and and get up here and speak
and prepare and do that but I know it’s
necessary that’s why God gave the church
five-fold some teachers some Apostles
some Pro like he he he didn’t just do
one thing and and there’s many times in
church that there’s not enough space for
every body because the lead pastor wants
to take up all the positions not here so
today I’m introducing to our first
location cuz there will be more your
brand new campus pastors Charles and
Abby
medcat oh this is a big deal y’all can
give it up you can give it
[Applause]
up all right sit down we got to go
okay I I want you to hear me say this I
trust them
explicitly I’ve walked with them through
valleys I told Abby when she got
here I said you’re going to walk in a
high level of ministry and she left
Crying Like Mike is trying to take away
my
purpose cuz she was a phenomenal
photographer at the
time but these two are going to lead
this campus
in a multiethnic
multigenerational loving
way that they going to be in the lobbies
and when you want to tell somebody
something you going to go to them I’m
going to be your pastor I ain’t going
nowhere I’m going to seek vision from
God I’m praying for you I’m doing what
God’s called me to do but for the Sheep
to actually be taken care
of you got to have somebody you can go
to and they going to have a team of
people he’s not here today because he’s
preaching at another church to give
another Pastor a break but your
associate campus Pastor is going to be
will
heckenbach oh y’all can give it up in
his absence that’s my
dog and and will he the one with all the
tattoos has a jail record yeah that’s my
dog the reason I say that is because God
can redeem
anybody and I want to make sure that
people know at this church that you can
start out at the bottom that’s so we’ll
start it out as an intern here and now
he’s going to be our associate campus
pastor and them with our campus team are
going to be getting the church that is
here locally
mobilized to transform this
city and and and we’re not going to do
it at the expense of real relationships
great great and so what I did was I
talked to two people who do
relationships almost better than anybody
and I said hey
could y’all stop doing all of that for a
second and I need you to focus so we can
get fruit cuz people are being picked
off because they don’t have people to
walk with them cuz the Bible says two
are better than
one and so I found uh will and Amberly
and they’re your brand new tribes
pastors at
TC we love you now watch this watch
this
these people are looking for more
people cuz four people ain’t enough to
take care of all
y’all what what I’m saying to you is now
I’ve put leaders in
place so we can put more leaders in
place cuz the goal is not this building
field the goal is the city being
transformed I only got four claps right
here but they don’t know what we trying
to do but it’s okay you’ll see
it we’re standing up here and sit well
sitting right
now to let you know that we got three
focuses so that we can see
fruit we will come to this space of
faith and hear from God we will find
friends in
tribes and we’re going to get
spiritually formed on Wednesday nights
here and let me just say this for
everybody transformation nation and
everybody is like oh my God I can’t come
on Wednesday cuz I work and all that
other stuff they
devoted
themselves these are not the only ways
to do this thing everybody needs these
things so if you don’t go to TC fine you
need to find a space of Faith you need
to have trusted friends and you need to
have a place of spiritual formation
remember where I told you my spiritual
formation
happened it happened through books but
you got to be committed and consistent
to it so on Wednesday nights if you
can’t come it’s all good get a book very
soon I’m not making any promises but
we’re just trying to get the curriculum
and the technology right transformation
Nation you will have a Wednesday night
situation as well we going to get this
thing going but what I’m saying is we’re
going to have fruit this year great
great great somebody shout at me
fruit would everybody stand all over
this building come y’all stand with
me come let’s come
up would you grab hands with somebody
next to you
please
I hope me sharing vulnerably
today helped you not just observe the
vision but desire to own
it I can’t do what God’s called us to do
alone representing God to the lost and
found for transformation and CH like all
the lost people all the found people
there’s too many of those in Tulsa just
to but what would happen if an army
raised
up
businessmen
and soccer moms
and
grandparents and high school students
and college athletes
and
judges and
lawyers and Tech professionals and
pastors and singers and worship leaders
and musicians
and police officers and firemen what
would
happen if we would come here every week
and invite people here bring people here
and we would all change
together and you would tell them like
you like church wait till
Wednesday yeah yeah yeah I’m like what
happens on Wednesday oh you’ll
see oh yeah you having problems in your
marriage go to the relationship goals
class like no y’all just come like no I
promise it’s not weird at all and if you
need prayer like just come at 600 just
come a little early I won’t be there
till 7 cuz I got to get the kids
situated but come at 6 come everybody’s
friendly there they they’ll just walk in
and what if somebody would come and
start learning about their finances and
relationships and and they be like hey I
