speak to us
i’ve been i’ve been listening to this
song that says speak to my heart lord

won’t go alone this is a little old
school but
i’ll never go on my own
just let your spirit guide
and let your word abide speak to
my heart lord some of y’all got it hey

to my heart father i thank you that you
would speak to everybody’s hearts come
on hands lifted all over this building
all over your house god speak to our
hearts in the name of jesus
nobody knows how to get to our hearts
like you do
and today god i’m asking that you would
penetrate areas
that have been locked up because of hurt
because of pain because of frustration
because father god maybe we didn’t have
instruction father i’m thanking you that
you will speak
directly to people’s hearts habits don’t
change if hearts don’t change and god we
need you to change our heart
we’ve been dealing with the symptoms and
the fruit but we need you to deal with
the root today
so as we start relationship goals
reloaded i thank you that you would
speak to our hearts god don’t let us
just feel good god
let us transform do a work on the inside
of us
and we’ll be careful to give you all the
glory all the honor
and all the praise in jesus name i dare
you to clap your hands
in your house in your kitchen oh magnify
the lord
with me let’s exalt his name together
hallelujah i’m ready
all right are y’all ready put ready in
the comments if you’re all ready because
i’m telling you i’m reloaded
i don’t know every time i say reloaded i
feel like i have to do that sound like
i’m reloaded
all right and i want you to get out
notes
because we are starting week two
of a series we’re calling help me
relationship goals
reload it you you forgot the the
the sound effects you got i’m gonna give
you one more chance today we’re starting
week
two of a series we’re calling
relationship
goals reloaded help me all right there
we go
i felt you i felt you do it on that one
and um
i thought last week we learned about the
principles of god
being the guide for all of our
relationships
we learned that if we’re going to do
what god has called us to do
in in and have the relationship god’s
called us to have
we need to set the word of god the
manual the maker’s mind
as the principal thing in all of our
relationships
and the thing that i’m burdened with is
that so many people want relationship
goals but they have no aim and until we
get
aim we can never reach the goals that
god
has intended for us so this entire
series i don’t care how you got here if
somebody sent you the link
or your boyfriend was like we can’t say
no more unless we listen to a
relationship god’s
reloaded together like whatever reason
you’re here right now
i want you to know it’s on purpose
because
god wants to divinely aim you in the
direction
of the things that are real relationship
goals
and last week i didn’t have no filter on
and i saw y’all on twitter they they
said we was twin
we were twittering we were trending on
i’m all good with that but are you
transforming in real life
like i got to make sure that we’re not
just trending and we’re not transforming
because we can trend and type all the
quotes but if we don’t get it in our
heart
and start applying some of these things
and walking in knowledge remember what
we talked about last week
that knowledge means light okay
and and darkness means ignorance
and a lot of things in our life we are
walking
in darkness in especially when it comes
to relationships
and nobody showed us we don’t have a
playbook we’re watching celebrities and
culture
and they’re defining what relationships
are and they keep not working because
it’s done
in darkness but when we get light when
we get knowledge
and y’all remember jesus is the light of
the world when we get his perspective
or his principles or his mind on
relationships we start walking in light
it’s harder to see when you’re in the
dark but it’s easy to
look over and step over what may trip
you up when you have light
and what we want for all of your
relationship is the light to come on
for you and be able to see that uh
about to call people’s name for you to
be able to see that he
or she may be something you’re tripping
over
that the goal of success that you think
that you’re supposed to have may be
something you’re tripping over and you
might be tripping just because you’re in
the dark
but through this series by faith we’re
gonna shine everybody shot at me liked
come on put some light bulbs in the
comments that’s what we want we want
light to come on
we want you to win in relationship
because the lights are coming on
this thing keeps going to sleep i i know
kane doesn’t stop the word today
and and so this is what i’m encouraging
everybody in this moment right now
is that if you are in a place of
relational darkness
because i don’t know i don’t know who
you are and what’s going on but if
you’re in a place of relational darkness
right now i feel like god told me
that that he wants to change
every relationship in your life because
you chose the relationships in the dark
listen to me if you feel like you’re in
relational darkness right now
god told me to tell you that every
relationship around you was about to
change
even the ones you call your besties and
your buddy and all of those different
things like that it’s about to change
because you pick those relationships in
the dark
and there’s some people that are right
now as you would like oh that’s good
i am married to you i’m about to get rid
of you nope you’re stuck
so everybody that’s married right now
you don’t get to choose
another partner right now you’re going
to change enough
to be able to look at the situation
differently and you’re going to become
what you want out of them oh i just said
a whole bunch and god said that the
light
is coming on i feel that charles the
light is coming
on and i begin to think about this
concept
of being transformed by the light of
god’s knowledge and making his
principles
the thing that are first in our life
when it comes to relationships and then
i had this weird situation happen this
week
you know me and pastor natalie have been
doing all these interviews and talking
to people
and and being on national tv and all
this other stuff like that talking about
relationship goals
and somebody asked her a question that
kind of threw me for a loop
which is the um the the infancy of the
message today that i think is going to
change your life
they asked pastor natalie oh my goodness
you guys have been married 10 years and
this then the third was um pastor
michael everything on your list
was he everything on your list and i i
felt the hesitation in my wife’s voice
i felt a little clearing of the throat
and i stepped back and i said let me see
what’s she about to say right here
yes natalie was i everything on your
list
and you know me and natalie we leave a
hot um relationship humble open and
transparent
and she said no he actually wasn’t
anything on my list
i said this helpful than gone on
national tv
and told them that i wasn’t her
relationship goal she said i thought
my list had somebody who was tall and
muscular
and and more hispanic puerto rican green
i said you wanted to be married to uh
what’s his name derek jeter
or uh or a-rod huh this what you got
baby
and i begin to think about it that
that the list she had was made up out of
her imagination
and and all of us have some type of list
a list for our relationship the list for
our business
the list for what time we should get
married and when we should be able to
build the house and
when we’re going to have kids we have
these lists
and what god told me is that i am not a
god of your list
he told me he said michael many of my
children are disappointed
in relationships because they have made
their list
and they’re asking me to be santa claus
to be the
tooth fairy would you please since i’ve
been nice and not
naughty will you please give me my list
uh oh i’m in somebody’s house right now
and god says i am not the god of the
list
and and and so he gave me this title and
i need everybody to buckle up right now
because i’m going to say something very
strong
and and very direct but i think it’s
going to change your life
the title of today’s sermon is rip up
your list
every list you’ve made without god every
list that came out of your imagination
but had no faith attached of it to it
i’m telling you
today you have to decide to rip up your
list
oh i feel this thing right now see we
need a revelation
of relationships but the thing that’s
working against
god being preeminent or
in our lives is that we’ve already made
a life without him
we’ve already wrote down in our journal
what we want and when we want it and how
we want it
and it begins to work against what god
has for us
because he’s thinking of the purpose he
put us here for and we’re thinking of
the pleasure
we want to experience and god says your
list and my list will never match
i know some people are frustrated don’t
log off right now
because what you need to understand is
the list you’ve made and somebody’s like
well i’ve never made a list yeah yeah
there’s lists in your mind even if you
haven’t written them down
that you’ve said i’ll only work with
people like this you’ve put stipulations
and circumstances
i’ll only get married when this happens
we’ve made inner vows
we’ve told ourselves this is what we’re
going to do this is how we’re going to
do it
this is the age we’re going to do it by
and it is one of the greatest sources of
frustration for people
is because god does not line up with
what he didn’t line
out he didn’t line out that course for
your life
but you’re frustrated now because your
plan didn’t line up
with what’s actually happening
and today through the word of god i’m
going to encourage you
to rip up your list let me give you the
definition that i made up
of the list see see the list is the
thing that oh i want him to be six six i
want him to have a job that pays him
good
i want him to be able to take care of me
cook salmon
and be able to have at least the six
pack that was your list
and you sitting there with elmer fudd
and no i’m just playing
but some of y’all that’s reality um well
i want her to be able
to laugh at all my jokes and she likes
sports but
also loves makeup and she does this and
does that
and we make all of these lists and god
told me today
he said i would like to revise every
list that has ever been made without me
i would i would like to call a redo
to the situation and to your life
in relationship look at the definition
of the list
it’s a set prede a set of predetermined
self-fabricated ideals of a specific
person
situation or outcome that was written
down
continually thought about or verbally
communicated
by which erroneous expectations
become goals for achievement let me
break it down
it’s the stuff that we said was gonna
happen with
no grounding just because we felt it
i saw something on tv and be like yo i’m
gonna build my dream house by the time
i’m 24
and you start saying that over and over
and over and over and over again
to where it becomes an erroneous
expectation
in your life and when it doesn’t happen
by the time you’re 24
then you’re looking at god like i
thought you said you was with me
i thought you said if you before me then
who can be against me he said i didn’t
plan that
you you made up and put that on your
list
and i was nowhere in that and that’s
where i’m coming to challenge you
because some of you are discontent in
the season you’re in right now
not because god stopped doing what he
said he was going to do it’s because you
thought you would be somewhere else that
god never promised you would be
ah they don’t want this they don’t want
this today y’all
but i’m gonna give it to you anyway
because i’m reloaded and somebody is
supposed to win in relationships
but if god’s purpose for your life is
going to be preeminent you have to take
away everything you built without him
rip up the list somebody put it in the
comments rip up your list come on
let me give you a reason why you should
rip up your list
you rip up your list because your list
for you
will never look like god’s list for you
your list of factors of what you
want like like like let me break it down
when you make a list of how you want
your relationships to be
your life to be your family to be
your list factors in what you want
when god makes a list of how he wants
your life to be
how he wants your family to be how he
has designed
your relationships to be he factors in
what you need and many of us never pick
what we need we pick what we want
see natalie wanted some puerto rican
green eyed something
but what she got was a fine tall of milk
chocolate you hear me not because it’s
what she wanted
i was what she needed the job that
you’re working out right now it may not
be what you wanted
but your character needs to be developed
some more so god gave you what you
needed some of y’all are
are mad because you were born into the
family that you were born
into but what i’m telling you is that
may have not been the family you wanted
but something that was birthed in the
pain that you went through
was what you needed for the purpose
that god has called you to i’m just
getting started
see when we make up fabricated standards
based on our feelings no prayer
no prophetic insight no word from god
just feelings
yeah before i get turned 40 i’m going to
be retired
where did that come from
where did you make that up at oh no no
no i’m gonna run my own business next
year and that was five years ago
and you’re frustrated in this moment
because you have personally
fabricated up things and never went to
god for it
the reason why i’m bringing this in the
second week of relationship goals is
because i think that this is one of the
main reasons
why relationships do not work out and
why they break down
is because of fabricated expectations of
somebody else
you put it on your list that they would
be athletic you put it on their list
that they would be emotional you put it
on your list that they would be able to
understand your childhood scars and that
y’all would like the same thing
and all these things you put on your
list were made by you
and not co-signed by god
and so god says when i present to you
what you actually
need you mad you big mad
because my way for you the bible says
is not the way you would choose but
that’s where trust comes in
and that’s why i believe some people
have to rip up their list and i see
people right now
you’re frustrated with where you are in
life i know you’re frustrated with the
relationships that you have you’re
frustrated
with the way that business is going but
i’m going to teach you something that
changed my life
it’s the formula of frustration can i
tell it to you right now
write this down you don’t want to miss
this this will change your children’s
children
the formula of frustration is fabricated
expectations plus failed reality
equals feelings of frustration so you
make up stuff you don’t even tell nobody
like you make up like my 30th birthday
is gonna be the turn up of the century i
promise you we turning up
and you make this fabricated expectation
and then the reality is your birthday
was in the middle of a pandipi
let’s be real cause that’s the reality
people are living right now
my birthday gonna be to turn up i’m
telling everybody i’m turning up
oh oh okay and the reality is
my birthday’s in the middle of a
pandemic and now you have feelings of
frustration
not because you didn’t have people
around you who appreciated you and they
did things for you and they sent you
cards and they sent you text messages
and if you didn’t have this fabricated
expectation you could have appreciated
what was actually there
but instead because you made something
up that was not supposed to be there
now you’re feeling frustrated and
downtrodden in this thing it’s time for
you to rip up the list
and i don’t care what area of your life
it is it can be in relationships this
message is coming for everybody
it can be in your marriage it can be in
your business it can be
in any area it’s time to go back to what
god is saying
because too many people are feeling
frustrated but i need to let you know
something about god and
this this may be the thing you don’t
like but it’s the thing you need to hear
right now
the reason you have to rip up your lips
take this down is because god is more
committed to your destiny
than he is to your desires
he’s more committed to the destiny he
sent you here for
than your own desires and this is where
people be like i didn’t like that
christianity thing anyway i got to get
out of here
but i wish somebody would have told me
this because i spent many years of my
christian life
quoting scriptures wrong because i know
somebody’s like uh
i’m looking it up right now i know the
bible says that god will give you the
desires of your heart i know that’s in
there somewhere
oh baby you heard somebody say that and
you didn’t actually read the scripture
let me take you to the scripture and
give you revelation that the bible does
say
something like that but let me give you
the context psalms 37 verse 4
it says delight yourself
in the lord and he will give you the
desires
of your heart let me give you the
passage remix
okay when you choose to put yourself
in the lord when you choose to put your
plans
in the lord when you choose to put your
relationships
in the lord when you choose to put your
business plans
in the lord then it says he will give
your heart
what it should desire not he’s gonna
give you everything that’s already in
your heart that’s ugly and is not like
him he gonna give you your heart’s
desire
he said when you get surrounded by my
will
my idea for you when you get in
accountability and you know because
what’s in our heart is bad
the bible tells us that the heart is
more deceitful than anything
the stuff i naturally want without god
is selfish
it’s self-serving it’s prideful and god
says that’s why you got to come out of
yourself
and you got to get in me and when you
delight yourself
in the lord he says i’ll change the
things in your heart and
you’ll start wanting the things i want
for you
you’ll go from wanting money and you
want to be effective
you want to you want to go you’ll go
from wanting to be
um impressive to impactful
see he’ll start to how do you know
pastor mike this is my life
when i was a younger man and i thought i
was gonna be
diddy or kanye or somebody like that i
wanted it
for what it made me feel like if you
would have told me that a million people
would be following me on anything that
would have gone straight to my head
that would have gone straight to blow up
the sting that i was doing and so god
said let me take you
the humble route let me let me get you
in
me let me let me transition you from the
music industry and all this other stuff
and let me let you start off serving a
bunch of youth who don’t even know
if they want god let me let me help you
work with them through their 14 and 13
year old problems
and you got to sit there for an hour and
a half and really care about it and take
it home and pray for them and then pray
for their parents
why don’t you get in me and when you get
in me
i’ll start to change your desires i went
from saying i’d never be on a platform
to saying god i never ever want to be
without a platform
to be able to give your name glory what
was that he was
changing my heart’s desires and giving
me what to desire i don’t know who i’m
talking to right now
but some of your stuff you’ve been
desiring things that was not
in the lord and god’s saying rip up that
list
tear that thing up because i’m telling
you when you get
my desires for you you will live the
life
that you’re really searching for the
reason why it’s not working
and you still feel unfulfilled is
because it was never meant to fill you
up
unless it came from the source
let me stop and that’s why proverbs 19
21 says
read this one it says many of the plans
in a person’s heart many i mean all of
us got plans
all of us let me say it another way all
of us got lists
all of us got things we put in our
calendar by this time i would have this
and
i’d be having this many kids by now and
me and my family would be doing this we
all got plans but look what it says
but it’s the lord’s purpose
that prevails
i came to a place where i ripped up my
list
of being this world-renowned music
producer and having millions of dollars
by the time i was 25
and doing i ripped up all of those lists
because i was fighting a losing battle
he said you can go ahead and keep doing
all of that
but at the end of the day my purpose
will prevail
that’s why you see all these rappers and
artists at the end of their life
they all become christians like no come
on let’s be honest like
everybody’s vh1 behind the scenes it’s
like i’ve been running for god for 39
years
and today i’m a pastor of first
ebeneezer gangster church and
i just why is that because at the end of
the day you can do
all of this and it takes from you
but the lord’s purpose will prevail
somebody needs to hear that right now
keep going and chasing all the kitty cat
out there keep going and trying to get
everybody to like you
but god says at some point you’re going
to get tired and at some point it won’t
work for you no more and at some point
my purpose will prevail oh
somebody needs to hear me why are you
talking that wrong pastor mike cause i’m
hoping to shake you
out of those cycles you’ve been in it’s
time for you to whip the
i need somebody to if this is your list
it’s time to
rip the list i need somebody to hear me
in the i don’t care if it’s in your
relationship i don’t care
if it’s in your family god is saying
i need you to trust me cause
i’m god and at the end of the day my
purpose
will prevail
and that’s why we rip up our list write
this down you need to rip up your list
because a god dream is never created
based on your preference
a god dream is created based on your
purpose
so when god sits down to make you he
doesn’t say
let me see what they want let me let me
throw in
some he says what have i purposed them
for
okay so if i’ve purposed them to bring
my name glory in this area
what is the path that i’m going to take
them on and how am i going to get them
there and what relationships
do i need and this is the thing god
built within all of us
the greatest thing he gave us was choice
and that’s why
when we get a plan from god we still
have
the choice to be able to obey the plan
of god
or to go our own way and that’s why i’m
trying to encourage you right now
because i wish somebody would have got
up
in front of me when i was a little
younger and said might rip up the list
you don’t want what’s on that list you
want what god wants for you
because in what god wants for you is
true fulfillment and what god wants for
you you don’t have to strive for it you
can stride
into it and what god has for you there’s
actual satisfaction
and a god dream is never created based
on your preference
a god dream is created based on your
purpose and if you want to talk about
dreams there’s no way we can talk about
dreams without talking about joseph
let’s look at genesis chapter 37.
because y’all remember joseph
with the code of many colors some of us
have missed this story
because he had a dream or he probably
had a list of how he thought his life
was going to go
because god gave him this very vivid
dream look at it it said jacob loved
joseph more than any of his other
children
because joseph had been born to him in
his old age
so one day jacob had a special gift made
for joseph it was a versace jacket
a beautiful robe but his brothers hated
joseph
because their father loved him more than
the rest of them
they couldn’t say a kind word to him one
note night
joseph had a dream the same way all of
us have dreams
one night joseph had a dream
and when he told his brothers he said we
were out in the field
tying up bundles of grade and suddenly a
bundle stood up
and i don’t know what this really meant
but it was like and your bundles all
gathered around
and bowed low y’all dropped it low to
to to my bundle and his brother said
fool
so you think you gonna be our king this
boy
lost his mind you think we gonna bow to
you do you actually think you will reign
over us
and they hated him all the more because
of the dream
and the way he talked about him talked
about them
see when i think about joseph having a
dream
he had a dream that he was going to be a
king or he was going to be in the palace
and so i want to show you this this is
like many of our lives joseph’s
list probably looks something like this
it’s
it’s gonna be a dream that i have and
then
i’m gonna get support from my family and
my brothers and the people that are
around me
and then i mean opportunities are going
to open up
and and this is how my list is going to
go and then promotion is going to come
and then i’m going to end up in the
palace
but if you read through the next four
chapters of genesis
what happens to joseph is what happens
to many of our lives
is that we have a list and a preferred
way that we would want it to go and we
made up for it to go
but then we have our list and then we
have real life
and joseph’s real life was he had a
dream
but then he was betrayed by his brothers
he was sold into slavery
he was thrown into prison and then
he still got the palace
uh hold on hold on wait wait wait wait
wait wait i thought my dream
was gonna be something that everything
in the dream was gonna be easy and
linear
and promotion and up up up up and then i
would reach the palace
but joseph’s real life didn’t look like
his real list
and some of y’all are in here and you’re
mad because your real life doesn’t look
like your real list
but i came to encourage you today you
can rip up the list
because if god is with you and you are
going through something right now you
still can reach your
palace let me say it a different way
because because i i need to talk to some
people
who feel like their dream has dropped
see um the reason we got to rip up our
list is because
joseph started out with the dream and
and again
then he went and he thought he was going
to go to the palace
so so so i want you to picture like
these two extremes these highs
okay and when we get these highs in our
life and
we think there’s there’s this this thing
that’s about to happen and everything’s
gonna go from glory to glory but then
the dream drops
and joseph literally goes from the dream
to literally being thrown into a pit
his brothers sold them into slavery and
threw him into a pit
and in the middle between the dream and
the palace he experienced betrayal
slavery and prison
tesla mike why are you talking to us
about ripping up a list and being in the
pit because this is where a lot of y’all
relationships
are and have been and i came to
encourage you today
that just because your relationship is
in the pit does not mean that it’s over
just because you’ve been divorced two
times and now you’re trying to start on
another list without god
maybe rip up your list because god has a
plan for you
that is bigger than this what you need
to know is the path to the palace
many times passes through the pit
i’m preaching up here right now so so
you started off with a dream and you
started off with your list
and you started off with the
relationship that was supposed to last
that’s what happened to me and pastor
natalie high school sweethearts
and i went through 10 months of insanity
and perversion
and cheating and lying and it took
us being with god that still delivered
us to a place of a palace
where we were able to help other
marriages but we did not get there
going some smooth route the bottom
dropped out of that thing
and when we had nothing else we had to
trust in god
we had to rip up our list and there’s
people watching i feel the presence of
god
right now that have been through
divorces that have been through
infidelity
that have been heartbroken that have
been hurt
whose kids have walked away and business
partners took advantage
and you are feeling stuck right now
because you went through the betrayal
and you went through the thing that
seemed like slavery
and you went through the thing that felt
feels like prison
but god says if you rip up your list
i can use all of that to still deliver
you to the palace to the place where
your purpose
is fulfilled and i think that some
people need to hear this in the room
right now
that’s why psalms 23 4 david writes
yea though i walk through the valley of
the shadow of death
see that pit put it back on the screen
the pit is a valley
i was going good and then it dropped off
but god says even when you’re in the
valley i’m walking with you
even when you’re at the low place i’m
with you you don’t have to fear
because i am with you
the truth is joseph wouldn’t have picked
betrayal
he had to rip up his list because what
god was going to
allow him to go through would not have
been something he picked on his list
none of us would pick betrayal none of
us would pick kovit 19.
did anybody write that down on your year
playing this year
did anybody put that on your dream board
i want to start january off
really strong and then i want to get in
the word in
uh february and then i want to meet my
man in march
and then i don’t want to see him again
until next august
nobody nobody picked it but god’s using
it
he’s using it to develop you he’s using
it to expose what you really trust
he’s using it come on y’all somebody
needs to put in the comments he’s using
it he’s using it he’s using it
he wouldn’t have they wouldn’t have
picked they wouldn’t have put that on
their list
me and natalie wouldn’t have put autism
for our son on our list
there’s no way i would have wrote down
what i want for my son
is so what happens
when you get a dream and god gives you
the son or gives you something and then
the bottom drops out
i didn’t put it on my list i did i
didn’t i didn’t want this
but i got it and what happens when it
doesn’t look like what i thought
and many of you i feel this so strong
you are so mad at god and he can’t even
speak to your heart anymore
because you are so frustrated over a
list you made
that did not come to reality it was
fabricated it was
ideal it was a fantasy and when it
didn’t happen
it devastated you so much that now you
can’t hear when god’s trying to heal
your heart and he’s trying to bring
people into your life to help you
and you’re so jaded and so broken and so
anti and god’s saying today i’m begging
you i sent this big black man sweaty and
all black with his wife on his shirt
to beg you to rip up your list
right now i want you to take everything
that you put as
an erroneous expectation and say god
i’m ripping it up this is no longer what
i will hold myself
or anybody else to can we rewrite
what the purpose looks like in my life
can we rewrite what success is in my
family
can we real come on y’all can we rewrite
cause i’m tired of being frustrated
and i feel like i’m in the pit and i’ve
been comparing myself to everybody
else’s instagram feed
and they’re getting married and they’re
having a baby and they’re moving into
their dream home
and today i have been frustrated and
discontent
because i made a list but by the power
of the holy spirit
it’s not going to be easy but today i’m
ripping up the list
i feel this thing right now somebody say
rip it up
somebody needs to rip up the list
joseph now gets sold into slavery in
genesis 37 verse 23
and literally it says so when just gen
um when joseph arrived
his brothers ripped that’s crazy
his brothers ripped off the beautiful
robe
this was a metaphoric sign of what was
happening to any list that he thought
bible will preach itself you hear what
i’m saying to you
they literally ripped off the path that
he thought he was going to be the thing
that represented his favor
it said his brothers ripped off the
beautiful robe he was wearing
then they grabbed him and threw him into
the pit
put it back up there i liked that up
there because somebody’s seeing it right
now
they ripped him ripped it off and they
threw him in the pit so when the
ishmaelites
who were midianite traitors came by
joseph’s brothers verse 28 go to verse
28.
um it said they pulled them out of the
cistern
now this messes me up every time i i
don’t have enough time to do this but
he gets thrown in by people and then a
few hours later those same people come
and they act like they’re helping him
out
what what does it feel like to have the
people who betrayed you
betray you come back and act like it’s
all good
but the only reason they were pulling
him up out of the cistern was to sell
him out again
they threw him in they pulled him up and
look what it says and they sold him
for 20 pieces of silver and trade and
and the traders took him to egypt
look at verse 36 drop down meanwhile the
many night traders arrived in egypt
where they sold joseph to potiphar so he
was sold again
an officer in pharaoh officer for
pharaoh
the king of egypt potiphar was a captain
of the palace guard
now for most of us this would be it
our attitude would be so bad at this
point
where is god he ain’t real he gave me a
dream
and now i’ve been betrayed by the people
who are closest to me and y’all know
that’s where betrayal really happens
it’s the people that are closest to you
the people who know who you really are
but they use that against you like
it’s that that’s where the relationship
holes are see we’re talking about
relationship goals
but a lot of us are dealing with
relationship holes and that’s why we
keep getting in wrong relationships
because we’re expecting people that
don’t know us to fulfill things
that happen to us from people who are
supposed to love us and the truth is the
only person that can fix it
is not the offender or the person coming
in it’s the god who created you
and so and so he comes into this point
like what in the heck i
i was just coming to help my brothers
out i got sold out
and then sold into slavery i got moved
from what was comfortable
into a foreign land how is
god using this and that’s where somebody
is right now
but the reason why you want to take your
little list of everything that you
thought was supposed to happen
and you want to just start slowly
ripping it up
it’s because every betrayal is not bad
some betrayals are a blessing you missed
it
see if the betrayal wouldn’t have
happened
joseph wouldn’t end it up in egypt let
me give it to you in a point
rip up your list because the betrayal
wasn’t meant to break you
the betrayal was allowed to take you
it was allowed to take you to your next
destination that you would have not gone
to
had it not been some hurt involved some
of us are so
comfortable i’m talking to people right
now that god has to
allow hurt to move you from your home
some of y’all are so good with being in
a mediocre relationship
that god has to allow their true colors
to come out
for you to be put on blast enough to
move out of that situation
god uses the pain of betrayal
many times not as a thing that is
supposed to break you it’s a thing
that’s supposed to take you
take you to the place you wouldn’t go on
your own
what would have made joseph leave his
dad his favor
and go to egypt nothing because he was
in a comfortable spot where he was
favored but god said your purpose for
the purpose i have for you
is so much bigger than being comfortable
in this little space
i want to make you comfortable in a big
space do you want it even if betrayal is
a part of the plan
see that’s the thing we don’t want that
on our list
we don’t want people walking out on us
we won’t we don’t want to be furloughed
from our job
do y’all know i’m gonna just go ahead
and say it cordell cause i’m here and
i’m they listening
some of y’all corona
was the thing god had to allow
to get you out of that job
no i know you don’t i know for some of
y’all this pandemic was allowed
and they furloughed you to see your kids
again
no no i know you’ve been providing for
them but you haven’t seen them
you don’t know the stages of life
they’re in and what they’re struggling
with and now that you’re in their house
and you see that their face is always
down in the phone and you ask what are
you looking at
this is the first time you’ve seen your
kids in 10 years
see what god’s trying to do is he’s
thinking about everything with your
purpose in mind
not your preference in mind and joseph
had to go through betrayal
because many times the worst revel the
worst relational devastation
is many times god’s vehicle of
transportation
and this is what i’m encouraging you you
to do because i’ve had a lot of failures
i know it looks like pastor might be
winning all the time on instagram
but but your boy’s had a lot of failures
in my life over the past
decade and what i have learned to do i’m
about to give you a key
to ripping up your list you have to
always look for god’s
favor in the failure look
for god’s i know it hurts i know you
never thought this would happen
i know this was not a part of the plan
this wasn’t a part of the dream
this wasn’t on my list but god says i’ll
leave hints of my favor
in every failure look
look look what he did he left hints of
his favor
for joseph in the failure he’s now
sold to slavery in potiphar’s house
his brothers have sold him out he ends
up in egypt
and look what happens in genesis chapter
39
verse 2. it says and the lord was
with joseph what
hold on i just got betrayed
and put into slavery and the first thing
that the bible records
is god was with him in the midst of the
failure god is with you
in the midst of the pain god is with you
and see many of us would rather
to be in a good situation without god
but
me i’ll take a bad situation with god
any day of the week
because my bible says if god before me
then who could be against me and that’s
where some of you need to know
that your advantage in the middle of a
bad situation
the reason why you have to rip up your
list even though the last relationship
didn’t work
is because god is still with you
and when you realize that it’s watch
this
it says so he succeeded the lord was
with joseph
so he succeeded the lord was with joseph
so he succeeded
put your name in there the lord was with
michael so he succeeded put do it one
more time the lord was with
say your name so he succeeded in
everything he did
as he watched what he did served hmm
you mean i have to serve in a sucky
situation
you mean i still have to to actually
do and be what god requires me to do and
be
even when it’s not fair joseph was in an
unfair situation miche
and god still required him to do what
was put in him to do
and some of y’all are in an unfair
situation stuff that you didn’t write on
your list
but god said rip the list up because if
you would ever get your eyes on me
and you would serve even in the sucky
situation
it would change the trajectory of
everything that’s going on look at it
it says in everything he did he was
successful because he served in the home
of the egyptian master potiphar noticed
that
he noticed this and realized that the
lord was with joseph there are people
that are watching you in your pit and
they’re gonna realize that god is with
you even though it’s a bad situation
he said this please potiphar so he soon
made
joseph listen his personal attendant he
got an upgrade in the midst of a pit
he put him in charge of the entire
household
and everything he owns from the day
joseph was put
in charge of the master’s household and
property
the lord begin to bless potiphar’s house
watch this
for joseph’s sake there are situations
that are about to be blessed
because you decided in the middle of the
pit when your list got ripped up
that you would still serve you would
still love you would still forgive
you would still show up you would still
encourage in the midst of it and god
says i’ll promote you
in the pit
[Music]
he said all his household affairs ran
smoothly
and his crops and livestock flourished
so potiphar gave joseph
complete administrative responsibility
this don’t sound like a slave to me
this sounds like a boss people are going
to label you slave
and you’re gonna walk around with the
authority of a boss people are gonna say
that you’re not
enough and you’re gonna have the pen
that strokes checks
people uh people are gonna say that
you’re too young
and god’s gonna say i put my hand on you
so whatever pitch you’re in
i feel this right now that’s why you
gotta rip up your list
this is why you can’t be stuck to what
you thought it was gonna be
you have to sell out to what god is
saying it is
it says potiphar gave joseph complete
administrative responsibility over
everything he owned
with joseph there he didn’t worry about
a thing
except was he going to eat chick-fil-a
or popeyes
the reason you got to rip up your list
is because
faithfully serving the season always
produces success i’ll say it again
faithfully serving the season even if it
doesn’t look like
what was on your list well i thought i
would have kids by now
but you’re still single stop wishing you
were somewhere else
and faithfully serve this season rip up
your list
well i thought i would have a business
and i would be running stuff and you’re
still mopping floors for somebody and it
does not feel like god is with you
what i’m telling you is forget where you
thought you would be
and faithfully serve this season rip up
your list
i i this is a prophetic sign right now
somebody need to get some paper in your
house right now
and you need to write your list you can
be specific but what needs to happen for
you
is you need to faithfully serve the
season you’re in if you’re in the season
of singleness faithfully serve that
if you’re the in the season of
infertility faithfully serve right there
if you’re in the season i know it’s hard
and your marriage is not working
faithfully serving this season
because god says if you risk your list
and stop comparing what is to what you
wish it would be
he said i can bring success to you in
that very season
i am preaching up here
see that’s why you have to know that the
relationship goal is not a person it’s
god
that has to be the first relationship
goal that you have
joseph goes into this thing and he
serves his season
i’m gonna have to do a part two to this
is it okay if i do part two put part two
in the comments
because i i feel this thing is so strong
we’re gonna do a part two but i gotta
give you a couple more you all okay
if y’all okay give me okay pastor okay
i’m seeing it right now in the comments
joseph begins to serve his season
and that’s so strong for somebody right
now because even
college graduates
you’re trying to figure out what you’re
about to do and god says serve this
season
there’s people right now that they lost
a loved one
and now all their focus is going to
grieving and hurting and
there’s a time and a season for that but
the enemy would love to keep you in a
trap of that
because that wasn’t on your list i never
thought i would lose my father i never
thought i would lose granny i never
thought
i would lose big big mama i never
thought that this was gonna happen and
it happened
and now i’m in a pit that wasn’t on your
list i wouldn’t have
chosen that but god is encouraging you
i factored in everything that would look
like a failure
i saw it when i called you that’s why i
gave you the dream in the first place
you know some nights i bet when when he
was in slavery
the only thing he could think about was
the dream he had
that god gave him a dream that you’ve
seen yourself
in a place that’s not looking like
relationally what you’re in right now
and god’s saying i know you’re
frustrated because you set
erroneous expectations that i wasn’t in
and your list has been interrupted but
remember
i’m not committed to your desires
i’m committed to your destiny
and that’s what god wants somebody to
hear right now
joseph goes through many more things
i’ll tell you about one more today
joseph doing his thing serving his
season
and then out of the blue i mean if i was
joseph like and i thought i was gonna be
a slave and i’m a boss now
i’m just trying to keep everything cool
just trying to do my job
stay out the way and then he catches a
case with a cougar
you can read the bible i mean y’all got
to read the bible the bible is better
than maury povich it’s better than
netflix
he catches a case with the cougar i’m
gonna prove it to y’all because some of
y’all be like that is not the truth yes
it is
look at it in genesis 39 verse 6. joseph
was very handsome
and well built just like your boy and
potiphar’s wife
soon began to look at him lustfully you
nasty little cougar
come and sleep with me son
that’d be disgusting if somebody says
sleep with me son
that’s horrible she demanded
but joseph refused to look now i want
you to see
his commitment i want you to see this
she said sleep with me he said i’m not
even looking
so many people are trying to figure out
what the line of sin
is what the line is and god says i need
you to rip
up that list too i want you to be above
reproach
she says sleep with me he’s not standing
there naked like are you serious are you
what are you what do you mean what do
you mean like many of us would be
sitting up in the room like hold on i
don’t know is comfortable laying in the
bed next door
she said sleep with me demanded it he
didn’t even look at it
and some of the protection and the
parameters you need
for your relationship are going to be
extreme people are going to say
some of y’all need to cut off the dms
some uh-huh
some of y’all need to change cell phone
numbers some of y’all need to get off of
websites or have
um um a software that lets your spouse
know what you’re looking at it don’t
take
all of that well then you’re going to
fall to the trap of the cougar
and the cougar may not be a actual woman
or a person
it may be a trap that the enemy said the
enemy had set this trap for joseph
and look what happens joseph didn’t even
look at her
and he said my master trusts me with
everything in this entire household
girl i’m not messing that up for you
no one here has more authority than i do
he has held back nothing from me except
your nasty tale how could i
do such a wicked thing it would
be a great sin watch not against the
master it would be a great sin
against god see many times we don’t do
things because of it how it would make a
person feel
and god says how about how i feel see
every time you sleep in with such and
such cause they want it
you’re thinking about how bad they would
feel after but it makes me feel
horrible when i saved you out of that
last relationship
and i brought grace to your life and all
i’m saying is am i considered in the
situation
he said she kept on pursuing on joseph
day after day
but he refused to sleep with her and he
kept
out of her way as much as possible
then she lies on her she catches him one
day and nobody’s around
watch this she rips off his robe
there’s a ripping that keeps coming up
she rips off his robe he runs out
because he thought he was going to be
here forever what happens when god
redeems your situation
and puts you in a better situation and
then he said but this ain’t the end of
the ripping
what happens when he thought he had it
made and god says now i gotta use this
cougar
to get you to where i need you to be
she lies oh my god joseph tried to write
me
and joseph was running back like this
helpful i know she did
like i like like i know he was mad
i don’t know i just see things in movies
in my mind
and when potiphar found out
he threw joseph in prison now what
happens y’all when i made a list for my
life
and every step of the way god says he’s
with me
but i’ve got a dream and then i get
betrayed by my brothers
i get thrown in slavery and then i get
lied on
in slavery and i get put in prison my
whole list has been ripped up and that’s
how many of y’all feel relationally
right
but look what our loving god does
he takes joseph’s prison
and he starts him on a trajectory
for the place he was supposed to be all
alone
he gets this man to go from
a foreign land betrayed by his brothers
taken to egypt in a guard’s house that
works for the palace
gets thrown into the the palace’s prison
because that’s where he needed to be
to eventually become the second most
powerful person in all of egypt
what are you saying to us pastor mike
that the reason you need to rip up your
list
is because prisons can become platforms
joseph went from a prison
to a platform because he faithfully
served
no matter what season he was in
he didn’t get mad and be like i lost my
job and
they left me for somebody else and i
can’t stand this and they didn’t
he didn’t pout and blame god he says
if i’m here if if i’m here
then there must be some reason and
something you’re doing
i think the song says even when i don’t
see it
you’re working even when i don’t feel it
you’re working you never stop
working and i came to encourage somebody
who’s in a relational pit
or who’s frustrated about the
expectations and your list is not
happening right for you
today i ask you rip up the list
because the presence of god is saying i
can take you
from the pit to the palace if you would
trust me look at it in genesis 39
21 watch watch what it says again he’s
in prison
look at it but the lord
was with joseph
he was with him in the prison and he
showed him
his what faithful love oh i love god
and the lord made joseph a favorite with
the prison warden he had favor
everywhere he went
before long the warden put joseph in
charge
of all the other prisoners and over
everything that happened
in the prison i’m telling you when the
favor of god is on your life can’t
nothing stop it
betrayal can’t stop it a bad
relationship can’t stop it
being light on can’t stop it prison
can’t stop it
it said that verse 23 the wharton had no
more worries because
joseph took care of everything the lord
was with him and caused
everything he did to do what succeed
the reason i’m asking everybody to rip
up your list
is because god’s plan for your life in
the very beginning it’s for you to
succeed
his path there will never look like your
path
there the people there won’t look like
the people you would choose there
natalie did not choose me but she needed
me
i did not choose natalie
but i needed natalie and my desires and
her desires became god’s desires
next week i’m going to try to find a
prophecy that we got from prophetess pam
venette when we were in the middle of
all of our ish
and we had a word from god not a list we
made up
but a divine inspiration from god that
our marriage would be glorious
and we would go through a storm but god
would bring us out and all this other
stuff
and we held on to that word that was the
only word he gave us on his list
it wasn’t our list it was his list and
all i’m asking you to do in this place i
feel the presence of god coming into
your house right now i want you to rip
up your list
and let god rewrite it
come on if you got a piece of paper
somewhere around you right now i want
you to get it out
and all week i need y’all to get on
social media and i need you to put your
list out there if you want to be
specific
and name people because some of y’all
been naming people some of jerome
try this diamante
put them on there some of you need to
put success
business partnerships with such and such
come on we’ve been building lists
that god was nowhere around and we’ve
been frustrated
having a house built maybe god said i’ma
have somebody give you a house i’m
saving you for something i’m not keeping
you from something
i’m saving you for something but if you
go off of your list you’ll miss the
blessings that i have for you
the person you’re supposed to be in
relationship the way you’re supposed to
live
the purpose that i’ve called you to it’s
gonna happen you’re gonna make it to the
palace
next week i’m gonna talk about all the
things that happen because i feel the
presence of god somebody’s about to get
a playbook to win
in relationships but if we’re gonna go
off the principles of god
the second thing we have to do is rip up
our list on the count of three if you
got paper everywhere
i want you to rip up your list and i
believe that the presence of god
is gonna come in this prophetic sign
right now come on get you a list get you
a piece of bill that you already paid
come on we’re gonna rip that up
somebody get something out of a
newspaper somebody get a magazine
and prophetically sit here in this
moment
and i want you to imagine everything
that you built without god
everything that you wrote down that you
said in your heart that you’ve confessed
out of your mouth
and i want you to see this and on the
count of three i want you to rip that
thing up
one we are making a decision to never
live without god writing our list
two today we stop being frustrated over
what has not happened
and we get in line with what god wants
to happen three come on rip the list
i feel the presence of god in this place
i need you to be
joyful come on somebody else got another
piece of paper
rip the list i feel the presence of god
this is the time where we’ve ripped the
list
[Music]
and we let god know that from now on
i’ll let you rewrite it come on hands
lifted all over this place
people people are about to find joy
again
i know you thought the date that you
were gonna get married was this
but god said i got you you’re still
gonna get to the promised land you’re
gonna have a glorious marriage
you’re gonna be okay he said but rip the
list right now with the list with the
list i feel the presence of god rip the
list
father i pray for every person hands
lifted all over the world
i pray for every person that’s watching
this live and watching it on rebroadcast
your holy spirit
is right there with us and father i
thank you for those who can’t see
anything right now because of so much
hurt
i thank you by your spirit you’re
revealing to them the list that they’ve
made
the things that they have said that they
want and they have to have and
all this other stuff father god and i
thank you right now by the presence that
is in this moment
that you are allowing them to see and
they are ripping up their list god
i declare that we are coming into a
place
where we’re going to spend time with you
and let you give us a dream
father god and i thank you that your
dream no matter if it goes to a pit
that you are with us in that and i thank
you that we will have
the faith to believe that the palace is
coming the palace is coming for our
marriage
the palace is coming for our purpose the
palace is coming for our children
the palace is coming for our
relationships we declare it
we believe it and we more than anything
trust you god
because you have a plan for us that is
bigger
than anything we’ve ever written down or
said god i thank you that
all week people all over the world are
going to be ripping up their list
and coming back to you and saying
rewrite it rewrite it
tell me what i need to do show me what i
need to say show me what i need to
believe for
and i thank you father god that we will
win in relationships because we’re
getting a new relationship goal
father give us aim we trust you we
believe you
and we thank you in jesus name we agree
in that same attitude right now
if you’re here and you’ve never accepted
jesus christ as your personal lord and
savior
and you thought on your list that you
were your god
you thought you could do it yourself and
the truth is you have a lot of
relationship holes
that only god can feel today
i don’t care who’s around you who’s
watching with you
what you’re smoking or drinking i don’t
care who you slept with
last night i don’t care about what
business deal you made how many
zeros you have in the bank the number
one relationship goal you need is a
relationship with jesus christ
and today if you thought you were gonna
do it any way without him
i want you to rip up your list and i
want you to accept jesus christ as your
personal lord and savior
and transformation church is a place
that tells you
that all of our lists have been messed
up by the love of jesus
see because i was someone who was
addicted to pornography
i was a liar i was a manipulator i
cheated i did things that i never
thought i’d do
and god says when you rip up your list
and you give me control of your life
i can take everything that looks like a
mess and i can turn it into a message
and today that’s what god wants to do
with your life some people there are
tears flowing right now
other people your heart is beating fast
this is your moment
today is the day of salvation and i want
you to make this decision
right now there are people praying for
you all over the world right now and
right now if that’s you on the count of
three i want you to lift your hands
i don’t want you to care about what any
anybody would say about you
and i don’t want you to care about
cleaning up and getting things right
god tells us if we give him our heart
he’ll help us
change our habits right now one this is
the best decision you’ve ever made
two god is proud of you and so are we
three hands going up all over the world
come on hands going up
we’re so proud of you listen you can put
your hand down right now
i’m about to pray for you because you
said pastor include me in that prayer
and at transformation church we’re a
family nobody prays alone so i want
everybody watching this to pray this out
loud with me everybody say god
thank you for sending jesus just for me
today i rip up my list and i
ask you to be my lord and savior
i believe you lived and you died

prayer

I’ve been listening to Pastor Todd from time to time and his sermons have been really great. But how can I get back to God sometime I just can’t feel him and I think a lot of this came from the pandemic. I’m trying to get back to God. In Dallas, Tx.
Good piece of word
