Are you ready to uncover the transformative power of pairing with people in your life? In Pastor Mike’s first sermon back from sabbatical, we dive into what it takes to have thriving relationships as we begin our new “Kingdom Kouples” series. In this message, we address isolation’s impact and the need to seek partners and friendships for purpose, ON purpose. We’re reminded the power lies not just in working together, but in PAIRING together. Your destiny is linked to your friendships. As you tune in, discover the profound impact of right-fit partnerships and the support they provide during life’s falls.

hi my name is Bree and I have the
privilege of serving as Chief of Staff
here at Transformation Church at TC our
vision is to represent God to the lost
and found for transformation in Christ
and we just want to say thank you so
much for tuning in from wherever you’re
watching from if you haven’t already be
sure to like And subscribe we believe
that God has a word just for you so
let’s jump into today’s message
but we’re gonna start week one
of a series that we’re going to call
very simply Kingdom
couples
now now stop hold on wait a minute don’t
stop get it get it
I know everybody
is anticipation and thinking you know
what I’m about to preach
you think this is relationship goals
part three
not quite
because what’s happening right now is
everybody is glorifying marriage
and most people are mismanaging
themselves
okay
we’re we’re sowing and glorifying one of
the most beautiful pictures in the world
it is the picture of Heaven on Earth
we’re talking about Kingdom coming down
God chose the marriage to be that sign
for him but
half the people that get into it
they quit it
even with love
even with bomb
relations
that’s right y’all know I’m trying to
they still have not figured out how to
do it
so we’re going to talk about that on
week three romantic relationships dating
we’re going to talk about marriage we’re
gonna talk about all of that
but I just felt like I needed to start
out with all your relationships
cause some of y’all can’t get to a
marriage relationship because it’s going
to be a duplicate of the toxicity that
was in your family
and so before we get to a relationship
with somebody I love
we need to deal with the relationship
with the people you hate
okay here we go
by faith I want us to start this series
with the faith statement
okay
this is the faith statement I want to
start us with
I can
have successful relationships
I need everybody to say it with me I can
have successful relationship one more
time I
have successful relationships most
people don’t believe that
most people want it
but do not know if they can actually
have that
and by faith I want you to know that God
designed this whole thing
for you to have successful relationships
now listen to what I’m saying right now
no matter how bad your relationships
have been how non-existent they have
been how good they have been or how
toxic they’ve been you can have better
ones
and if you start with that premise I can
have successful relationships and begin
to focus on that your focus pulls you
forward
anything you focus on that’s what you
start going towards
I believe for so long many of us have
had our focus on protecting our space
and doing me
I ain’t letting nobody Kill My Vibe
come on that we have stopped believing
the best for relationships
and so I want everybody in this room to
say it one more time with faith even if
you’re hurting right now
even if you’re in a seasonal loss I want
you to say it soberly even if you don’t
fully believe it right now this is going
to be a seed of crazy faith for you
somebody say I can
have successful
relationships
okay so the word of the year is kingdom
and when I started to think about the
word Kingdom the holy spirit said one of
my principles Michael that you have not
talked about and you got to get into the
people it’s the kingdom principle
of partnership
and I said what do you mean he said I
want you to talk about Kingdom couples
but I want you to help them understand
that a couple all it means is two
because most people think couple and
they think of a beautiful man and a
beautiful woman and they’re coming
together and all couple means
two
I need more than one person to get with
another purpose person that is going
towards purpose so they can be a kingdom
couple a kingdom payer a dynamic duo
let’s think about some of the dynamic
Duos throw out some Dynamic Duos for me
right now
Batman and Robin come on give me some
who
Shaq and Kobe somebody said second
LeBron I said no
who come on give me a couple more
Will Smith and Martin oh bad boy okay
okay I’m with you I was like those are
two different shows up
who
Keenan Peele any more Dynamic Duos
Partnerships
peanut butter and jelly that’s a
powerful one
I that might be the most powerful
thank you Michael Jordan and Scottie
Pippen that’s a dynamic duo okay but let
me
let me just
submit to you
that all of the people that you just
named in that partnership we may not
know without the partner
[Music]
no no Michael Jordan would have been
great by himself oh okay
but there have been other great players
without the right partner
who never reached their purpose
could you be living at a lower quality
of calling and life
not because you don’t got it
because you have not aligned yourself
with a purpose partner
okay
the subtitle of this series
is finding
partners
for purpose
on purpose
because most people the people you run
with the people you call partner that my
partner right there they’re my partner
baby
my partner
most people you call partner it’s
because of proximity
you didn’t pick them
they was just around
or your partners were because you only
got with people because of pleasure
oh
it got real quiet booties got tight
but the only reason they’re not even
your type but the only reason you talk
to them because they answer the phone in
the AM
okay let me leave it alone that’s why
you wiping sleep out of your eye this
morning
I was just gonna join the online Church
and let me not forget about the people
who partner up because of pain
did you pick
Ed your pain picked them
are these partners that are helping you
with purpose or did the dysfunction in
your heart link up with somebody
[Applause]
what I want you to know is this season
is about having partners
for purpose
on purpose okay so so so I need
everybody to understand this as we move
forth because my burden as I was praying
for you during sabbatical
I was lifting you up every week
praying for your families praying for
your businesses praying for your hearts
praying for your mind well you don’t
know my name but God does
and it is my job as a pastor to pray for
you as I begin to pray for you I just
kept seeing people struggling with this
one word this is why this is my burden
isolation
and I know you’re in a room full of
people right now but the truth of the
matter is many of you feel very alone
I know you got a big family but they
don’t really know what’s going on
I know that you have 2 964 Facebook
friends
but none of them would actually be there
for you
if you lost everything
my burden is the people of God more than
ever in history I believe are becoming
intentional with their isolation
and it’s robbing them of their Kingdom
power
Pastor Mike why are you saying this to
me because when you are isolated
it robs you of identity
when you don’t have nobody around you
telling you you can do this
no that ain’t you
okay if I took
my daughter Gia right now who’s learning
the talk and walk and I took her to
London
and put her around a whole bunch of
people who speak a different language
and had an accent
she would automatically become a product
of her environment or her connections or
her relationships just because of
proximity
she would like tea and crumpets
she wouldn’t call them french fries
she’d call them chips see y’all know
what I’m talking about
and many of us are picking up accents
dialects
we’re picking up customs that have
nothing to do with the kingdom
but it’s because we’ve been isolated and
because we’ve been isolated we’ve lost
identity and then when God tells us to
do something we become watch this
insecure
it’s a great show it’s a bad way to live
when God calls you to do something he
says be strong and
so many of us because of isolation and
loss of identity we are insecure and we
do not do what we know God has called us
to do and we end up living unfulfilled
but in the Kingdom somebody say in the
Kingdom
the Kingdom currency is about connection
and when you get connection watch this
you get confidence
you ever walked into some place with all
your boys
are all your girls
it’s a different swag when you come in
and don’t know nobody and you’re like
hello hi my name is Mike
that don’t even matter when you’re with
your people
yeah
you walk different
and I believe this is the season where
your relationships have to give you
confidence
this is a season when you walk in the
wrong way your relationships got to turn
you back the other way this is the
season where the people of God
have to come out of isolation
it’s so crazy that we’re three years
away from 2020 but it’s still in you
your calling has been quarantined still
and God’s saying I need you to come out
and I need you to get these connections
so you can be confident in what I’ve
called you to do why is this important
okay because I know some people’s like
why do we okay oh they doing this
because they start in b groups
this was an actual accident
I had this message Charles and I’m
telling you the truth I had this message
before I knew the day I don’t come up
with the days for the B groups and all
that other stuff God does stuff
and this is a beautiful coincidence
the reason why this is important is
because write this down God’s pattern is
partnership
the thing we want to find out is how
does God do things his pattern
throughout all of scripture is
partnership go to Ecclesiastes chapter 4
verse 9 and I’m going to read this to
you and I just hope that it would be
clear because sometimes if the word is
really fuzzy and you need a concordance
and you need somebody to interpret and I
think I found one that’s real plain
about partnership verse nine two
than one
I don’t know if you need some
interpretation
but two people
because everybody says two are better
than one like two what
two
people
are better off than one person
for they can help each other do what
who wants to succeed in this next season
of your life
what if I told you it’s going to take
somebody else
okay somebody’s mad right now I can
already feel it why he back
[Laughter]
to transform your life here we go
person falls
the other
someone who falls a
is in real trouble
likewise two people lying close together
can keep each other warm somebody’s like
that’s why I came for this series I just
want to be laying and warming stop it
but how can one be warm alone a person
standing alone watch this can be
attacked and defeated
this is not just spiritual this is
natural animalistic law
if a predator is going to go after
someone
who does he go after in the bunch
not just the weak one
the isolated one
the one that because of a little pain
was a little further behind
the one who got frustrated that they
didn’t get enough on the last kill and
so they distanced themselves in the
predator
is watching who stopped going to church
[Music]
who’s who’s binge watched every chapter
of that show but won’t open the chapter
in the Bible
[Applause]
who’s starting to watch
this new age manifestation
post because she got the body you want
but don’t have the spirit you want
uh-oh let me stop I’m getting too close
to somebody’s action not Janice yes
Janice
a person standing alone can be attacked
and defeated but two
can stand back to back
hey I can’t see back there but you watch
it
cause we about to whoop the devils
if you just give me a few weeks to get
back get give me a few weeks
and then look what it says it UPS it
three
are even better
he gives a requirement but then he says
you can take it to another level you
don’t just gotta stop at two people
that’s just the bear requirement for the
power to be released
in your life okay
for a triple braided chord is not easily
broken God’s pattern is partnership say
it God’s pattern is one more time God’s
pattern is pers who are your partners
hold on stop before you claim them
[Applause]
oh don’t just no no I just need
everybody to take full inventory
just cause y’all like each other
don’t mean that you’re in purpose
together
just cause you work together
does not mean you’re supposed to war
together
yeah yeah when I’m in my deepest moment
[Applause]
our talks around the cooler is not gonna
get me through
I need somebody that can go up and
wrestle not in this realm
because the Bible tells us that the
weapons of our Warfare they’re not
carnal
but a lot of y’all have friends
who y’all connect on fashion but they
can’t fight
[Applause]
let me stop let me stop
it says two are better than
[Music]
and see let me dispel this right now
this is not a marriage scripture
I know you always here when people
standing at the altar and be like so
we’re better than why
this is God’s kingdom principle
he says two are better than one because
they can help each other succeed
two people praying are better than one
person praying
two people praising are better than one
person praising the Bible says it like
this one can put a thousand a flight
but two not ten two can put ten thousand
to its multiplication you don’t have
enough with just you
but the purpose God’s called you to I’m
sorry to be the one to inform you but
you ain’t got enough by yourself
so
I need everybody to accept this truth
write it down there’s power in the pair
that’s the title of my message today
there’s power
in the pair I want to bless somebody
with something where my man at come here
I want to just bless you you know your
pastor I’m back I’m I’ve been you but
hurry okay because I got a time limit I
told you no no
he’s trying to do the little job get up
here
y’all know the sexy job
[Applause]
what’s your name bro
Brian I appreciate you man I want to
give you something give me the uh give
me uh what do I want to give him
ah yeah there it is
I’m gonna give you this airpod
God bless you bro
I’m a generous man
love to give
now
the problem
is that he has it in his ear
but he doesn’t have the other one
so something can be going in this year
but something completely different
can be going on this it may I suggest
this is what a lot of the body of Christ
looks like
you haven’t partnered up yet
and so you haven’t received the full
surround sound
the spatial audio of what God wants to
do
but if I give him the other one come on
and hold on not just the other one I
have to give them the other one and the
power source
see his power can you hear anything
through that
boy no say no you know
[Applause]
gotta really screen these people before
I use them no I just play
it’s the power source
and the pair
that will allow him to receive
what is supposed to come in clearly
what’s our shoe you wear bro
13 okay I got something else for you
here
I had these I’m cleaning out my closet
that’s for you take them out put them on
yeah yeah yeah
he’s he’s wondering is this still an
illustration I don’t I don’t
yeah
but but the crazy thing about it is yeah
make sure it works make sure it fits
there’s only one shoe
now this blessed brother still putting
it on
he he don’t even care he’s like forget
this white shoe I’m gonna put on one and
that’s what we do
we know a part of God is better than
none of them
[Applause]
but what we have denied is the power
that comes in the tail give me the other
where’s that where’s that where is that
throw it to me
it’s only
it’s only I didn’t know you was wearing
red today
but God did
it’s only that this whole outfit comes
together
what he already had huh
when he put on both of them there is a
power that is about to come to your life
when you don’t just pray but you worship
too
oh
somebody say there’s power
in the pair
you got a car
my example’s over I’m just playing with
you gone
he was like
[Applause]
yeah take you take yourself
yeah take it yeah take that take that
take that
did he take that name
[Applause]
what I’m telling everybody
is until you get connected with the
right partners
maybe we’re not seeing the full
magnitude of what
it’s supposed to be seen
and in this season we cannot afford to
have any relationships without return
I’ma say it one more time
we will no longer have
relationships and invest in them and
give time to them and give money to them
and give our hearts to them and there’s
no return
it just takes from me
it’s a leech it latches on and sucks joy
and sucks peace and sucks my sanity
half the reason you crazy is not because
of you
it’s because of who you connected to
[Applause]
and now it’s time for our relationships
to have a return look at verse 10 of
that scripture it says if one person
falls
the other can reach out and do what help
but someone who Falls
alone
they’re in real trouble
there’s too many people falling out here
with no one to pick them up
one disappointment they leave God
what
one failed attempt at the business
and you never want to try again
it’s because the fall
happen with nobody around
to actually help you
and this is what scripture says I’m
going to tell you a truth and a promise
that you can know
the fall is predictable
because Jesus literally says Us in this
world you’re going to have trouble
how many people have ever fallen in
their life like relationally physically
emotionally you did something stupid
okay if your hand is not up you’re a
liar
just real quick in the house of God liar
so so the fall is predictable whatever
it is
but the pain can be padded with
relationships
let me explain it the pain does not come
from if you fall
it comes from
how far you fall
if I was to fall off this stage right
now into this hard concrete
that somebody’s like do not do it pastor
we just got your back
but if I was to fall onto the floor
the fall wouldn’t hurt me
listen
hitting the ground wood
so many people think the pain is in the
fall
the pain is in what you hit and how far
you fall from
okay
how can I display this
um we’ll come here
okay
somebody said don’t fall will
where’s Brent is Brent here Brent come
here all right I want to show you this
real quick because the truth of the
matter is
I’m about to do
a trust fall
look at
he he he’s hurrying
because what he understands right now is
that him being out of place as my
partner can cost me
my life
but whenever I’m talking and I
no I just need everybody’s laughing but
do y’all realize I still fail
I just didn’t hit
you gotta get the people in your life
that no matter when you fall
it doesn’t matter how you thought
they’re the ones that can y’all missed
it
y’all been walking around with these
weak people and God said you better find
somebody
see the truth of the matter is I fall
all the time
Adam
[Applause]
now watch
I got scared
but even though it looked awkward
I’m in no pain
oh you better hear me when you get the
right people around you the phone may
look awkward
[Applause]
this is the type of friends you need
around
friends that are anticipating he should
not be dating her
he can’t move to that City uh-huh
[Applause]
friends for the fall
[Applause]
[Music]
not if you fall
when you
when you get the diagnosis
nobody planned for it
when the miscarriage happened
[Music]
[Applause]
when the building closes
when you do a extreme example with spit
[Applause]
see y’all missed it most of y’all
wouldn’t have been around me but I had a
few people when the world tried to come
after me the reason why I’m still
standing here is cause I took a fall but
I had the right Partners there’s power
[Applause]
write it down in a point
how far you fall
it’s directly connected to your friends
and some of y’all be like when they
gonna sit down
they came
because they don’t know when I’m going
to
neither do you
don’t nobody wake up and like today’s a
perfect day to be depressed out of my
mind
come on can we be honest
some of us have prayed and fasted
and that Spirit just
and I know I’m supposed to leave prayer
tonight but I just
that’s why it’s good to look at him look
they say hold on
[Applause]
we might just need to stand close
[Applause]
[Music]
because the truth of the matter is even
though I’m losing strength
oh y’all this is preaching right now
no I’m good I’m good I’m good I’m good
I’m good
I’m good
I’m a grown man
I got kills
I got a job oh these are the dumb
excuses
that we all make I used to do that when
I was younger
65 years old I’m a prayer Warrior
I’m just sue the Holy Spirit
no
the Bible says a righteous man falls
one
two
three
four
five
six I’m good y’all I’m good I’m good I’m
good I’m good
[Applause]
and that’s a man walking with the Lord
ah
that’s somebody who reads the scriptures
and has quiet time that’s somebody that
knows how to worship
that person will fall seven times
but this scripture says if you fall
alone
with your Bible with your therapy with
your scriptures which showed breathing
exercises
[Applause]
for you
with all your breathing you still need
some people
do y’all see how different our
relationship is
in close proximity
as opposed to them in the bleachers
watching my life
Facebook friends Instagram friends all
saw you on those people in the bleachers
of your life
and that’s why they can watch you fall
and comment on it
[Music]
but they can’t help you in it
if I fail without them
everybody oh
would not take away the pain
and would not take away the consequences
and so this is what our life looks like
I’ma just camp out right here for the my
last four minutes
the power of the put my destiny on the
screen
yeah I want I want I want you to see my
destiny my destiny is forward
cine is this way
my destiny is what God’s called me to do
my purpose is going this way how many
people want to reach their destiny the
thing that God said before I put you in
your mother’s womb I knew you
I called you I I want I don’t just want
to work a job or a career I want to
reach my destiny that well done is
attached to doing what God called me to
do
somebody shouted me destiny
the scripture is telling us that you’re
going to be on this road of Destiny in
your life
and there’s destiny
then there’s disaster
and all of us
think we’re going towards destiny
but a lot of times the cares of Life get
us discouraged
and with one decision
we turn away from what we know is right
what we know we worked hard for what we
prayed for
and with one everybody say decision
because the greatest thing God gave you
was choice
people were like no it was his blood you
still got to choose it
okay that’s too that God too
theologically deep right there
everyone’s like huh yeah
he’s not forcing you to love him because
it’s not love if you can’t decide
[Applause]
[Music]
so so what he does is he gives you a
choice I’ve set before you life and
Destiny and disaster
and I’m gonna give you the answer to the
test choose life
choose Destiny but if we’re honest y’all
many of us have been like
forget this
it’s too hard
ain’t nobody in my family ever reached
to Destiny
this addiction can’t take me to Destiny
so we turn around
and we head
in systematic steps
towards
disaster
and disastrous trash
I mean
sleeping with four or five people every
week
but still lonely
got that paper
no peace
I’m significant
but you’ve lost sensitivity
and the only thing sometimes I’m just
submitting sometimes
the only thing that can stand between
you going towards your destiny
and making a decision to go towards
disaster
is the right partner
well
part of us having partners is they get
in the way
when we’ll want to do wrong
now I know everybody in here religious
and
you and Jesus that’s all you need but
that’s not all Jesus needed
if anybody it could have been just on
their own doing their own thing
could have been Jesus
but he decided
and this is what I found
that there’s three reasons why people go
towards disaster it’s not all of them
but it’s the main ones like all most
these are the reasons number one write
it down because some of y’all in this
category
a lot of people turn away from their
destiny
and go towards disaster
cause you just wild
oh you thought it was gonna be something
profound to Deep
you have made a partnership with the
Devil
you are willingly waking up every day
listening to music you know ain’t gonna
make you a man of God
I got three I got four I got five I got
six
and many of us are just wow
when I start Walling
but all of us can have a moment of
wildling my question is who’s in your
way
no it’s my birthday though
I’m a
[Applause]
[Music]
I see y’all I’ll be seeing y’all
who the friend like I’m about to take
I’m about to no don’t it’s not worth it
zip it back up zip it back up okay
and some of y’all have nobody in the way
it’s my birthday by that time get out my
way cause you know I don’t have no
friends
by the time now your relationship is in
the trash
you have a disease
God why would you let this happen
because you wouldn’t get in relationship
nobody knew nobody picked up your phone
nobody saw it on the table there was
nobody around you when they was like you
coming through
who is
some of y’all need to take the locks off
your phone
did you see how quiet it just got
oh
cause everything you’re looking at
ain’t leading you to Destiny
you rolling you check the shade room
every morning
oh she said oh my God
I’m not saying that you don’t gotta know
us but the first thing you let into your
spirit
you out
let me give you another reason
because everybody ain’t Wildland
some people watch this
are wounded
I gave everything to that job
and the first time they gone
acknowledge me
then they lay me off
done with this
I’m no
no hear me it’s not worth it I gave
everything to them
and they never ever even saw me I made
them millions of dollars they never
acknowledged me and they never let me go
I have a family
so let’s yes so let’s let’s
[Applause]
all right
who’s the partner that’s giving you
power
who’s telling you
cuss
and then we’re gonna pray about it
oh because being a partner is not being
God
hold on
because some of us I can’t beat a
partner
they just full of the devil hold on
we all got something in US
that ain’t the best but could you be a
partner to let somebody process
but still lead them towards purpose
somebody said watch him will
no no I just I just want to go I just
want to there are other there’s nothing
over there
I see a lot of people acting like it’s
fun not for you
I see a lot of people posting like it’s
fun it’s not I mean but they outside you
know what I’m saying
taking trips
taking sips
doing their dips
[Applause]
that’s better that’s better
going this way is better way better it’s
harder though that’s okay better it’s
worth it not a lot of people are over
there
[Applause]
here I am God
yo humble serving
[Applause]
sick of doing the right thing but
Spirit lead me where my truck is without
more
and sometime it’d be like that
come on y’all
but think about this I would have
already destroyed my life twice
had I not had a partner
some people do it because of wylin
some people it’s they’re wounded
but other people is just because they’re
weak
I can’t take another hit
I can’t take another loss
that was my favorite cousin
and they gone at 32.
can’t do it God if you’re that good why
did you let something that bad happen
some of us give I was abused by my youth
leader
that church didn’t see me I’m talking
about people that love God but the only
reason they go back is because I’m weak
what I’m asking everybody is to number
one understand you need a partner and
then for all the people that think I’m
being dramatic right now and think this
is too much it ain’t that deep I mean
you could take a few steps back in a few
step forward and you can hit the Cha-Cha
Slide and you can hit the Dougie and and
that’s what most of us think because
they have nobody in their life
and they think that when they dug you
back
and they
worth didn’t they go whoa whoa didn’t
they ah
because they haven’t got to disaster yet
[Music]
they think they still don’t need anybody
but look what the scripture says in
James chapter 1 verse 14.
Temptation comes from our own desires
oh they tempted me no you tempting you
you can’t tempt something that ain’t in
there
I don’t like seafood when so when
somebody comes in with a bunch of
seafood I’m not like oh my God I don’t
like that but come in with some Chinese
food
it’s a Kung Pao and orange chicken fried
rice egg rolls won Palm
you come in with any of that
why because I’m tempted by my own
desires he just I mean he’s six six and
I mean he does have pictorials and abs
I don’t know why what was that warm
sensation it’s because
you’ve already decided that that’s
something that’s in you that you desire
so I need you to hear me Temptation
comes from our own desires which watch
the progression entice us
and drag us away from what purpose
these desires have a baby
and give birth to sinful actions
and When sin is allowed to grow
it gives birth
to death
so don’t be misled my dear brothers and
sisters
you do this alone
and you got any desire in you that’s not
like God
and we all do
have nobody there
and it’s a magnetic force
now I’m still looking for it but that
government
oh
I ain’t there yet
I’m getting close
and somehow
we end up
in
the trash
well
so my relationships look
so my business looks
trash
this is how my emotional health is
trash who needs counseling not me
I’m a grown man
I don’t want everybody looking at me
[Applause]
they don’t know what it’s like
to live this life like me
[Applause]
they want me to talk to people
looking for a husband
[Applause]
that’s what y’all be doing
you want somebody come find you in the
trash
[Applause]
ain’t in a relationship with any young
ladies or women that can help you see
your flaws
see your blind spots
so what do you do you isolate
I worship you Lord
you’re a good good father
join a b group
Here I Am to Worship sir
some of y’all well I’m an extrovert you
like trash over here
what up baby
oh
yeah
hey shorty
come join me in the track
light skin pug
we knew you were trashed from the
beginning
yet you’ve been in four relationships
with the same guy
and you find them at the same dumpster
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
and we never asked why they got to trash
but we joined people there
God’s saying I need you to get the right
people in your life
let me just level with you
when I look in the scriptures at Jesus’s
pattern remember what I said at the
beginning in the Kingdom this is a
kingdom principle that God brings
together partners
when Jesus gives the Great Commission
and tells the disciples I want you to go
out gives them like literally the
greatest command ever I want you to go
and take this gospel and I want you to
take it everywhere
I want you to go in and heal the sick
and deliver people and represent my name
and when you do that
people are going to be transformed
everywhere the disciples put their hands
in they go one two three Jesus
and then he says oh hold on one second
guys
I can’t send you out by yourself
I’m gonna send all of y’all out
in
Paris
two by two
go into that City
don’t go alone because if they come
after you one of y’all got to be hitting
them with the with the the loaf of bread
while the other one
somebody gotta pray somebody gotta catch
we need
and if Jesus decided to send the first
people out to transform the world as
Apostles two by two
how in the world you about to do life in
2023
by yourself
so today all I’m asking everybody
is to embrace this thought
that God desires
for me
and you
and us
to never be alone
well Pastor Mike that’s risky love is
well I’ve been hurt before
there’s nobody in the world that hasn’t
but it’s better to have lived and
actually loved
than not loved at all
I’m asking everybody who feels like
relationally a lot of your relationships
romantic business
even in
your social life it’s in the trash
I’m asking you
just to ask God
for the desire to try again
oh this first Sunday I don’t want Lord
give me the relationship
just ask them for the desire
burn before but God would you please
just give me the desire
to do it the kingdom way
would you just give odd said I’d never
be married again
and I meant it because if another man
breaks my heart I’m gonna be on the
first 48.
I know we’ve made it we ought to make
inner vows
but I’m asking you try again because if
you ask God for the desire guess what
he’ll do while you’re in the trash
he’ll send people
he’ll send people you ain’t even looking
for him you mad as Oscar the Grouch
[Applause]
what’s up
no man I like the trash
I like the trash
I love my life ah I’m not even helping
you
he’ll bring you people who are strong
enough to carry your issue
um Everybody couldn’t have picked me up
but the right people that God sent me
can handle
my issue and then guess what happens I
love the word of God
when I start going towards destiny
and I get some healthy people behind me
get behind him Brent
see because what it does is it breeds
multiplication
when I find the right partner and they
find the right partner
and the right partner finds the right
partner come up here Charles come up
here Bishop come up here uh uh Scotty
come on Moe these are real people in my
life
the reason I can’t fail in this life
the reason why I cannot go and stop the
calling of God that he’s called me to do
the internet can cancel me a thousand
times but the reason I’ll never stop
obeying God
it’s cause I got too many people to go
through to put my life in the trash
I can try to Juke one I can try to spin
moves I can get through it’s too much
work to deny the calling of God on my
life
yeah
it should be harder
for me to throw it all away
[Applause]
and too many of us is too easy
and what happens is everybody put your
hand on the other one in front of you
if who’s in the back
[Applause]
it’s my dog
ask my dog for sure
[Applause]
if Charles pushes us forward
this listen
this is what it looks like to be pushed
into purpose
now I’m no longer concerned about going
back
I’m being pushed
into purpose
today Church
I’m asking everybody
find the power
and it may not be in another program
it may not be in another product some of
y’all be on Amazon looking for what’s
going to help me no
is found in the call you keep ignoring
the person you won’t go out to lunch
with and for some reason they’ve been
drawn to you and you like uh but I don’t
like the way they dress
I mean so many times we use superficial
things
to keep the answers that we need out of
our life I heard it said like this when
God wants to bless you
he sends people
subsequently when the devil wants to
hinder you
since people
all my partners
have to be for purpose
on
purpose
what everybody stand all over this room
[Applause]
y’all we just getting started I’m back
we’re just getting I just started this
because somebody’s like Pastor Mike it’s
already a disaster
but when the Holy Spirit allows people
or even this message or even Faith to
come and lift you up what he does not
want you to do everybody listen to me
you may miss the most important part of
this message
he doesn’t want you to run
from what
your life used to look like
what he wants you to do
he wants you to take the trash with you
all of the frustration
and all of the pain he wants you to
bring it
and he wants you to turn your pain
[Music]
into your platform
oh
the worst season of your life is about
to turn into the reason why they called
you
the thing that you thought was going to
take you out is the thing that’s gonna
take you up this is the season where we
really believe
that all
things
including the trash
works together
this
is why God brought you here
this is why somebody sent you this
message
it’s because you’re about to find people
to partner with
to reach your purpose amen
okay real quick real quick real quick
okay so if you’re in here
and if there’s any place in your life
where you know you’ve been
living in isolation
we gotta start there
this is not hear me for young people
there are more seasoned Saints living in
isolation now than ever before
because I lost the person I was married
to or the people who love me and I don’t
want to start over again can I tell you
something it’s worth trying again
the Bible says it like this your latter
shall be greater
than your form your best days are not
behind you there where is part of your
destiny
but if you’ve been dealing in isolation
I want everybody to be hot humble open
and transparent watching online in this
room if you’ve been dealing in any area
of isolation and you have been
relationally closed off you didn’t you
haven’t wanted to find or maybe you
didn’t want to try again or maybe you
know the people you around
they not it
come on let’s just be honest stay there
but they’re not gonna take you there
if that’s you I just want you to lift
your hands right now come on
yeah the Lord is in the room
and I’m about to pray a prayer of
partnership
this is what we’re going to do we’re
going to partner with God
so that he can bring us the right
partners
we’re not going to go to the partners
because some of y’all are like let me
get on Facebook tonight let me get on
Tinder tonight let me get on Black
Planet tonight stop it
we’re gonna go to him
and he’ll bring us them
and
if you don’t
and can’t find them become them
because some of us have been thinking
this whole time I need about where my
partner’s at and God said you’re a
horrible partner
can I make you into something before you
desire to have it
hands lifted all over this place father
I thank you
that you’ve put your name on me
and part of Who You Are
is friend
you tell us you will be a friend that
sticks closer than a brother
father some of us have taken Falls that
we haven’t really honestly been able to
recover from
because we didn’t have
the people around us we needed and
father even for some of us we weren’t
the people we needed to be for the
people in our lives
today we’re bringing all of that to you
and God we’re asking you
to give us this mentality of Kingdom
couples let us find partners
for purpose
on purpose I come against the lives of
the enemy that come to isolate
divide
cause dissension and disunity I pray
that the spirit of forgiveness would
erupt in this place
I thank you Father that the spirit of
love father God I thank you Father God
that you would allow
the grace that you have given us to be
extended and God I’m asking you for
Fresh Starts in the name of Jesus people
have been in abusive Cycles people have
been in in layers of life I thank you
for snatching them out of disaster and
snatching them out of the trash and I
thank you Father that you will put them
on a course towards destiny
father for the person who just hearing
about you today and the person who’s
walked with you forever I thank you that
this next season will be a season of
Partnerships for power
[Music]
I thank you that our purpose has no
chance to not come to pass when we
connect with the right people
father let us
see our partnership with you as our most
important partnership
and then show us
who we’re supposed to be around
for purpose
on purpose
in Jesus name if you’re under the sound
of my voice listen and you’ve never
partnered with God
I want you to get that partnership right
right now I don’t care why this is on
your baby mama sent you the link and she
told you y’all can’t go on date night
until you watch this sermon God bless
you you got a good woman I want you to
hear this is what it’s for because God
wants to be in partnership with you
if you’re in this room and you’ve been
doing your life alone
you’ve been running you’ve been living
in the trash you’ve been hiding out
bad thoughts and wrong situations God’s
saying would you bring that to me
I want to become your lord and savior I
don’t just want a moment with you I want
to walk with you for the rest of your
life it is the greatest decision that
ever happened to me when I was in the
trash in my thinking watching
pornography every night walking with all
kinds of evil desires in my heart that I
was drawn towards and God said would you
bring me your heart and I’ll help you
change your habits
I’m telling you I’m not a perfect man
but I’m a progressing man and the only
reason I’m going towards Jesus is
because now I’m focused on him
I’m telling you there’s no amount of
self-help that’s going to help you reach
purpose
until you invite the Prince of Peace
into your life it’s if that’s you
and you want to make Jesus your lord and
savior I don’t care how much money you
have I don’t care what socioeconomic
class you live in you’re still bankrupt
in your soul without him
[Music]
if you want to make Jesus your personal
Lord and Savior tomorrow is not the day
today is
on the count of three I just want you to
lift your hands you ain’t got to tell me
everything you did he was there
he knows
but he’s saying would you acknowledge me
so that I could come in
because Jesus over 2 000 years ago went
to the cross
and he took every pain every burden and
every lie that you would believe and he
hung on the cross in your place for all
the sin all of us would make and all he
said is
just accept what I did for you
it’s unmerited unearned Grace
and I believe for many people under the
sound of my voice this is the day that
everything changes for you on the count
of three just shoot your hand up if you
want to make Jesus your personal Lord
and Savior one you’re making the
greatest decision of your life two I’m
proud of you but more than that your
name is about to be written in the
Lamb’s Book of Life
three just shoot your hand up all over
this room I see you sister I see you man
of God I see you my brother I see you
come on there’s hundreds of people in
this room oh I need y’all to shout with
me and I know there’s so many more
online so proud of you
you can put your hands down
religion says now confess everything so
we can make you feel bad and you can be
on the totem pole that’s really low and
work your way up to Grace
that’s what people say
Jesus says here’s a robe
here’s a ring
here’s some sandals
I got a seat at the table for you
you’re already royalty
so I want everybody who just made that
decision or you said I didn’t raise my
hand but I want to do that
I want you to say this prayer with me
and at Transformation Church we’re a
family nobody prays alone
so I want everybody to say this for the
benefit of our new family just say Lord
thank you
for saving my life
out of disaster
today
I ask you
to be my Lord and Savior
come into my life
and change me
I need you
to help me
be everything you’ve called me to be
I believe you died
and you Rose again
with all power
today
I make you my Lord and Savior renew me
Transform Me I’m yours in Jesus name
amen
welcome to the family
you are saved and the healing virtue of
God is flowing through you can we give
God a shoe south of Praise Hallelujah
[Applause]
we’re about to close
but I need everybody to do me a favor I
need you to send this message to 10
people
how many
I said how many
all you got to do is take the link and
just send it to them it will be the
first step on you being a partner
that’s worth going in Purpose with
and then this is the last thing for
everybody here I need you to bring one
person back next week
find a payer
come into this church next week with a
pair and statistics say that the one
person you asked might not come so ask
for
so you can at least have one
we’re a church full of prayer our team
is about to come down and the worship
team is about to sing
if you need prayer
you know one of the most powerful forms
of partnership
prayer
do you need prayer for anything
your business
you’re going through a season of
grieving you’re hurting
you’re mad
you got joy and you just want to pray
with somebody it was like I just came
today and I wanted to pray
this is where I want you to come
and as we leave this place I never want
you to leave feeling like I didn’t get
to touch and agree with somebody
you at home you could put your prayer
requests in the comments there are
thousands of people watching right now
there is no distance in prayer we’ll
begin to pray for you I know we’re all
dealing with different things
but in this moment let’s find a partner
amen
father I thank you for what you’ve done
Holy Spirit now speak beyond my words
