calm and enjoy this message as we all
win in relationships I’m ready if you’re
ready for relationshipgoals reloaded I
need you to let me know by saying I’m
ready hey
[Music]
well today we are starting a brand new
series called relationshipgoals
reloaded and the reason I’m so excited
about this is because um this whole
thing of relationship goals is really
less calculated than everybody might
think this this whole thing that that
that nine hundred and I believe it was I
wrote it down nine hundred and ninety
three days ago I spoke the original
message for relationship goes and when I
spoke that nine hundred and ninety three
days ago August seventh 2017 a few
months later this series would go viral
and people would start watching this in
people who believed in God people who
didn’t believe in God people were who
were in a relationship people who were
divorced people who were stalkers people
who were in situation ships you know
what those are people who were sliding
into DMS and people who had lost their
husbands and wives this this series
begin to go viral and people started to
share it and we didn’t plan for it but
for some reason God wanted to get this
message out this was something he wanted
to encourage his people with and and I
want to set precedence as we start on
this message I never expect God to do
the same thing the same way again cuz
he’s a sovereign God so let me tell you
I’m not preaching today for this message
to go viral that doesn’t matter to me my
assignment is whoever is watching this
right now for you for me to give you
everything that God is putting me for
you so if nobody else sees it except the
people on this stream right now I know
that this is a word from God I feel it
already and this is going to help you
win in relationships they tell me from
the stats that nineteen point seven
million people have watched relationship
goals on YouTube but I don’t care that
that many people watched it I would just
like nineteen hundred people to apply
the wisdom and the knowledge that comes
out of these messages because if only
1,900 people apply and start aiming at
the goal that God has for us in
relationships that means families get
better that means children are raised in
an environment to have a clear
understanding of God’s Word on
relationship that means that you will be
better so I just want to make that clear
as we start I don’t know how long this
series is gonna be he’s supposed to be
four weeks right now but after this
message I think it’s too short
we might be in this for a little bit cuz
I want you to win in relationships if
you want to win in relationships just
say that out of out of your mouth say I
want to win in relationships come on put
it in the chat I want to win in
relationships and that’s why I believe
that I am here and many of you know this
Charles said it earlier but I have to
make an announcement to everybody in
transformation nation your boy is
officially a Oster now now now why this
is so um so amazing as my wife sits in
the front row because she knows that I
don’t I don’t even as of probably about
six years ago I even like to read the
fact that I’m an author and I didn’t
like to read means that God has a funny
sense of humor that he’ll use the
foolish things to confound the wise and
so in my first copy of relationship
goals and I want to thank you guys so
much for support and transformation
nation y’all have stood up y’all have
pre-ordered y’all have done so much and
the book comes out this Tuesday and
we’re gonna turn up this Wednesday i’ma
tell y’all about it we got stuff coming
together but it’s gonna be fun thank you
for supporting this because it’s not a
book it’s a manual this is this is
something that I want to help you win in
relationships and I wrote this first one
to my wife it says this is the first
official copy of my first ever book and
there’s only one person in the world who
deserves it you you are my relationship
goals thank you for believing me Natalie
and I want to give this to my wife here
you go baby mama come and just get it
real quick I just want to let you know
in front of everybody
see look at she covering herself she’s
looking off all hood right now cuz ain’t
nobody here but I love you too and today
I was gonna preach off of what I wrote
in the book and then God said uh I got
more for you and I said hold on he said
you called the series relationshipgoals
what reloaded and I don’t know about you
but if you’ve ever had a gun before and
and and and you’ve unloaded all of the
the bullets they say reload and there’s
a new cartridge that comes in and you
have to put that thing in there and it’s
brand new bullets and so I’m telling you
right now I hope you ready cuz these are
all brand new bullets the eight parts of
the other series that in the book there
to help you but God’s given me more
stuff that we’re gonna highlight some
stuff but these are brand new bullets
and I’m ready to get into it right now
see because when this thing happened and
I didn’t know that people were
struggling so much in relationships but
I was seeing the results of it I was
seeing how people were broken I was
seeing how I was broken and the reason
that I wrote this book is because I did
not have a manual I had great Christian
parents I grew up in a church
environment but nobody actually gave me
plays on how to win in relationship the
only instruction that I got and maybe
you got the same one is don’t have sex
before you get married well what happens
when you failed that test and failed it
again and felt it again thank you for
grace because the truth of the matter is
so many people are out here struggling
in relationships and they do not know
what God says about relationships and
there is power in the spoken word but
there is longevity in the written word I
must say that again because somebody
missed it there’s power in the spoken
word what I’m doing right now there’s
power in it but there is longevity in
the written word when the founding
fathers of this United States of America
wanted to set some principles that were
we would be guided by even after they
were gone they didn’t just say it to
each other they wrote it down and it
became the Constitution when Martin
Luther King was inspired by by by the
enjoy
this is that were happening all around
him he didn’t just say it to his friends
he wrote it down and that became famous
speeches like I have a dream their
longevity they’ll outlive all of us when
God wanted to get a message to all of
creation he didn’t just say it to a
couple of people he wrote it down
divinely inspired through men with every
word being right where it needs to be so
that it could get to us and now it has
longevity and we read it as the Bible so
why relationship goals the book is cuz
my prayer is this is not for likes this
is for longevity my prayer is that when
my daughter needs instruction on
relationship goals in her daughter means
instructions on relationship goals maybe
we have would have put something in the
earth that would have given somebody
what I didn’t have and that’s why I want
you to be a part of this movement I want
you to get this to as many people as you
can it is not an age thing there are
people who are 75 years old that have
read this book and reviewed it and
saying it’s changing their view on
relationships for the latter half of
their life do not miss your blessing
because you think you’ve already arrived
all of us can do better at relationships
and today we’re about to walk through
this thing because I believe God gives
principles in his word for us to live by
everybody say principals say it again
say principals and I think that if we
could ever start living by the
principles of God we would avoid a lot
of the problems of life I must say it
again if we could ever start living by
the principles of God we were to avoid a
lot of problems in life write down my
first point right now the more
principles you learn from the Word of
God the less you pray about what to do
I’m gonna say it again cuz some of y’all
like what did he just say he said you
don’t have to pray that much listen to
what I just said the more principles you
learned from the Word of God the less
you have to pray about what to do if you
have a car made by a manufacturer
whatever your car is a Kia
a Honda a Ford whatever your car is the
car comes with the manual
most of us have never read the manual
can we be honest if you have read the
manual to yo car lift your hands right
now and I see if you line put your hands
down Tremaine you know you didn’t read
the manual okay most of us never read
the manual so if something goes wrong
with our vehicle most of us panic most
of us if we start the car we start
hearing a noise and then it slows down
and the acceleration goes down we pull
over to the side we start panicking or
know what’s gonna happen and usually we
call a mechanic because the panic leads
to problems and so when we start
panicking we then find problems and then
we find a mechanic when the mechanic
gets there he comes in he doesn’t seem
tense worried frustrated nothing he
comes in he tries to start the car he
listens to what’s happening he then goes
up and he opens up the hood he goes past
all of the other things and go straight
to the problem and he’s able to fix
exactly what’s wrong with the situation
because he knows the principles of a car
okay y’all are gonna get this in a
second you pay him three hundred and
fifty dollars why because you did not
know how to fix it yourself
you could have saved time and money and
not had to pay for it if you knew the
principles I’m talking about your
relationships and you don’t even know it
you are paying so much in time and
energy and hurt and frustration and
you’re losing purpose and losing your
life because you’re paying for something
that you do not know the principles of
all I’ve already preached it and many of
you are depleted and I’m daresay
overdrawn in your account because you’re
paying for not knowing the principles
when I think about this you need to
understand this principle simplify life
when you understand the principle of a
thing life becomes simple I want you to
write that down
principles simplify life prove it to you
the car that most of us drive works on
the prints
full of gasoline you know how to put gas
in your car you know that principle so
when your car goes on E
don’t nobody be praying about that cuz
they know the principle they don’ts oh
god I’m gonna father I just thank you
right now that you would send a ram in
the bush god I thank you Father that you
would make a way for the petrol to get
into my tank god I need to call a phone
a friend Holy Spirit who should I call
Diane Diane I need you to touch an Acree
with me because right now I’m out of gas
and I know that God can be away where
there is no way Lord would you please
bring a quick trip you don’t do that cuz
you understand the principle of gasoline
so you don’t have to pray about what you
understand the principle of you don’t
have to pray about what you understand
the principle of and so what ends up
happening is if you run out of gas
you’ll find the nearest gas station you
will put the gas in the car and you will
pump it because you understand how the
principle of a car is supposed to
function that’s the way it’s supposed to
be for all your relationships you’re
supposed to understand the principles of
relationships so you don’t have to pray
about what you already know the
principle love see how quiet it is
because the truth is most of us have
never read the manual about
relationships most of us have never been
taught the principles our parents didn’t
know how to do it so they didn’t teach
us about it pop culture acts like they
know how to do it so they’re the only
one stepping up and saying this is how
it’s supposed to be this is how supposed
to be but they didn’t make it so it’s
it’s one of those things where they’re
telling you how it’s supposed to work
but they have no guarantees in their
life you ever got a product that wasn’t
made by the manufacturer so you get no
guarantees with it and that’s what’s
happening a lot of our relationships are
broken because we’re getting taught and
they’re given to us but somebody who
didn’t make them and when you didn’t
make a thing you can’t guarantee it I
feel that so what I’m trying to tell you
right now whatever happens in your
relationship you are supposed to know
exactly what to do know what’s wrong
with it and
to fix it but the reason we can’t is
because we haven’t read the manual
the reason I’m trying to to dig down on
this and y’all I feel like a teacher
today I really want to take you through
the word and build the value to why God
is supposed to be the ones to define our
relationship why our relationship with
him is our ultimate relationship goal
because out of that relationship all of
our other relationships will be
successful how does a relationship I
have vertically with him everything I do
down here will be able to win but what
we’ve been trying to do is do
relationship down here and ask him to
bless it when he wasn’t the first
relationship go for us and that’s where
I want to give you this point principles
protect life
so print principle simplify life but
also when you get principles they
protect life and when you violate a
principle they destroy you I’ll say it a
different way when you violate a
principle you violate yourself like like
okay I’m using this car analogy a lot
because I think it’s easy for everybody
to get when you violate the speed limit
and you violate that principle and then
you get pulled over and then you have to
pay for the ticket you didn’t violate
the police officer you didn’t take
anything from him what you did was you
took something from yourself and that’s
what happens when we violate the
principles of God whether it be having
sex outside of marriage that doesn’t
violate anybody except you and now your
have a soul tie and attached to somebody
that was never exposed to experience all
your glory baby and he wasn’t ever
supposed to see that Queen or that king
and that level of vulnerability but when
you violate the principle for the rest
of your life every time you see that
person and they come in the room you
remember that oh you know there’s some
pictures floating around with you oh you
know there’s a couple of messages that
you sent and God is saying like don’t
violate my principles because when you
violate my principles no
how good it feels in the moment you’re
violating yourself look at it y’all need
some scripture because some of y’all is
like what is he doing why is he on a
rampage I told you I was wait long did
Psalms 119 verse from a1 to 4 it says
blessed are those and I want you to
highlight and underline a few things
right here it says blessed are those
whose ways are blameless who walk
according to the underlying law of the
Lord blessed are those who keep his
underlying statutes and seek him with
all of their heart they do no wrong they
do no wrong they do no wrong but follow
underline his ways you have laid down
underline precepts that are to be fully
obeyed there’s a level of life that you
can live where you don’t do nothing
wrong when you obey the instructions of
the one who made life let me say it
again there’s a way that you can do no
wrong in relationships when you obey the
manual the law the precepts the the ways
that God has set up for us that’s why so
many broken relationships are all around
here because we keep going over the
precepts the laws the instructions that
God is trying to give us let me say it a
different way the principles that he
tries to set up for us in relationship
and that’s why we spend most of our
relational life crossing lines and
coming back saying things we weren’t
supposed to say then coming back getting
mad at our business partner and then
coming back and we do this dance because
we never ever listened to the precepts
the laws the statues of God and fully
obey them and that’s why that word
principle means a lot I started to study
it because when we talk about
relationship goals in relationship God
is the originator or the manufacturer of
relationships and I’m trying to drive
that into you because the next five six
seven eight nine weeks
they won’t be as powerful if you do not
get this point that word principle it
has a root word of prince and the word
prince means first principle means first
law or first rule so let me give you a
long definition of principle it’s the
first foundational original law
established by which a creature or a
created thing is designed to function or
be regulated let me give you a remix of
that that definition a principle is the
first law laid down by the manufacturer
this is so important because if you
understand that marriage was not made by
government it was made by God he put
down the law he put down the principles
that it was supposed to be guarded by
parenting was not all just a good idea
he told us that i’ma teach you how to
parent running a business it’s not just
a good idea God says I want to show you
how to do this thing where you can be
successful I want to show you where you
don’t have to pay every time you mess up
because you understood what it was
supposed to be from the beginning let me
say something to you about a principle
right this point down anything that is
not a principle is an opinion anything
and now that we have social media is so
crazy because you compose something and
have a lot of followers and you act like
it’s a principle but it’s just your
opinion
cuz you weren’t the first one to
establish that law you didn’t create
that my Bible says in the beginning was
the word and the Word was with God and
the Word was God he was the one who
established it in the beginning he spoke
a word into it and the whole galaxies
are still standing in place in the
beginning there was relationship before
anybody I don’t got the time to explain
it but it was God the Father God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit and they were in
relationship three personalities in one
they were already doing it before he
said let us make man in our image both
male and female who knows the blueprint
on relationship God does
and until we understand the principle of
of God knowing or that his principle is
not an opinion we will allow pop culture
to define it we will allow our family to
define it or this one my mom and them
said how good is their relationship well
this is what this blog said how good is
their relationship all they can do is
give an opinion on the principle and I
know some of y’all gonna be mad and some
of y’all about to click off right now
but you can keep having that raggedy
relationship that you’ve been having or
you can learn the principles of God and
you can allow me to show it to you
because until I learned this I was
aiming at all the wrong things until I
learned this I was going to pornography
for validation before I learned this I
was hurting people left and right
and thinking that if I just repented
maybe somehow it would change my actions
no it just put me in a better feeling to
do it again what I’m telling you is the
things that you’re doing in your
relationships because some of y’all are
sliding and diems and you have a wife
and there are people right now that are
searching for validation and people that
can never give it to you and there are
people that have been divorced two and
three times and you’re still looking for
something that only God can give and
there’s other people that keep going
from business partner to business
partner it’s not them baby it’s you
there’s something that God wants to
upgrade in you there’s some principle he
wants to teach you there’s something
that he wants to do in you and some of
you are saying well nobody knows that
but God sees who you really are even
though you don’t post nothing or say
nothing or talk about your relationship
some of y’all like I’m real private I’m
private I don’t let nobody know what’s
going on it’s still broken even though
we don’t know it if you don’t allow God
to set the principle for your
relationship and let your opinion die
and submit to the one who created it you
will always end up without the result
that you’re actually looking for
well I’m preaching better than y’all
talking to me or commenting okay so
that’s why the principle is first
everybody needs to remember that
principle is first when a king and a
queen have a child what do they call it
a prince or princess because they are
the first ones in line for the throne
cannot can I blow your mind real quick
Satan is called the Prince of Darkness
because darkness watch this in the
Hebrew means ignorance so he is the
first one to rule by ignorance the
reason why you have to learn the
principles of God because when you don’t
know the principles of God about
relationship when you don’t know the
principle of God about singleness when
you don’t know the principles of God
about your marriage you are ignorant and
Satan’s name is the first the Prince of
ignorance okay so let me help you that
means the area of your life where you
are ignorant Satan has the most
rulership over you oh that’s good
the area of your life where you are most
ignorant Satan has the most rulership
over you that’s why it seems like you
can get it right in your business but
every time it comes to relationship you
jacked up and you crying and you messed
up and you just screw in her and all of
these other things is because you
haven’t learned anything you haven’t
gone back to the principles of God you
are ignorant you are in the dark about
relationship and that’s been the enemy’s
plan for generation after generation you
don’t know if your daddy is really your
daddy you don’t know if your uncle is
actually actually your brother because
there’s so much darkness there’s so much
crap around relationships that we just
keep it in the dark and the enemy is
able to win there because we are
ignorant of God’s principles about
relationship that’s why we have to learn
that’s why we have to study
that’s why I’ve dedicated myself over
this past six or seven years to becoming
a scholar I’ve got to read more and let
me tell you this I hated reading I did
not like going through and seeing a
bunch of words I mean I’m you know let
me be honest I’m one of them picture
guys I need a picture somewhere that’s
creative
and that’s and taking up at least 3/4 of
the paper do I have any picture people
in the house today but what I understand
is this principle of ignorance it made
me understand it no matter if I don’t
like to if I don’t get if I don’t get
more knowledge in this area if I don’t
understand how to be a better husband if
I don’t work on my craft of speaking if
I don’t learn how to be a better CEO
manage my personal finance the enemy
gets to hold me where I don’t have any
knowledge and some of y’all your
relationships have just been held by the
enemy because of our ignorance about the
principles of God but today I believe by
the spirit of faith somebody through
this series through the book through the
Bible is going to get knowledge somebody
say knowledge will somebody say
knowledge put it in the chat and guess
what I found
the Hebrew word the Hebrew word darkness
in Hebrew is ignorant but guess what the
word knowledge in Hebrew means light so
wherever there is darkness at the moment
knowledge comes in light comes on and
where it is dark in relationships and
you don’t understand the principle where
it’s dark in business and you don’t
understand the principle where it is
dark in your family and they don’t
understand the principle if you would
just put knowledge there light would
come on and where wherever light is
darkness cannot stay can I promise you
that this is why Jesus in John 8:12 what
does he say
he spoke to the people once more he said
I am the light of the world I am the
knowledge that you need if you follow me
you won’t have to walk in darkness or
ignorance
it is Bible preaching because you will
have the light the knowledge that leads
to life the light the knowledge that
leads to life what God wants to give you
through this relationship Gold Series is
a light is knowledge that leads to the
life you want to live that leads to
hashtag relationship goals that leads to
the business being successful that leads
to the best life that God wants you
have but you cannot have God’s best in
the dark I need to hear you every secret
every lie I think it was a possible TI
that said bring him out bring him out I
think that’s who said that he I need you
to bring it out because God says what’s
done in the dark has to come to the
light this series is about to expose
some things this series is about to
bring you to a place that says it
doesn’t even make sense
for me to live in this ignorant anymore
I believe that God is coming to shed
light somebody shot at me light I need
to see some lightbulbs in the chat right
now I need to see some beings going off
right now God is coming to give you
everybody shot at me light he said he’s
the light of the world but look what
Matthew 5:14 says he said don’t just be
excited that Jesus is the light of the
world he takes it a step further and he
said and you were made in my image so
you are the light of the world like a
city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden
I just hear Kanye’s flashing lights in
the background right now God said I want
you to be so knowledgeable on what the
principles are a relationship by the
Word of God that when you walk into a
room and you see a counterfeit that’s
talking ignorance and it’s dark you step
in there and said the light is here you
step in there and say you can’t fool me
with that crap bro you step in there and
say I’m more valuable than that baby the
light has shown up somebody needs to say
I hate ignorance yeah say it say I hate
ignorance because I’m telling you that’s
where the enemy has been able to grip
you you don’t want to read nothing about
budgeting that’s where the enemy gets to
play with you no money you don’t want to
read anything about forgiving that’s
where the enemy gets to control your
heart that’s why we had that moment at
the beginning I was trying to shed some
light on you you can’t get the full word
of what God wants to do in your life if
you’re holding on and it’s hard ground
we need light we need knowledge and
that’s why we’re talking about this
right now
Psalms 119 I love it because my passion
is to destroy I don’t I’m sweating
through everything right now because I’m
in my purpose right now and I’m feeling
like
feel that my the reason I was created
was to destroy darkness your darkness in
your life that’s why you tune in here
every Sunday that’s why even if you
don’t understand all of the reference
there’s something that keeps bringing
you back cuz this is the first time all
week some of y’all have had light in
your life you’ve been listening to the
news you’ve been checking your bank
account every hour
you’ve been still looking at the death
toll and God says hold on hold on hold
on come back to me I’m the light of the
world and if you could get around some
other people that have some lights I
would dare us to say that in the middle
of the pandemic we can write this whole
thing up baby somebody needs to say
light it up well some of us need to stop
speaking down and stop speaking the
facts and we need to speak by faith and
we need to light it up but you only can
light up a place where you have
knowledge and in the area of
relationships we’ve been ignorant but
and I hate ignorance and that’s why
Psalms 119 has guarded my mind it’s been
a playbook for me it literally says the
law of the Lord the statues of the Lord
the ways of the Lord the precepts of the
Lord the decrees of the Lord the
commandments of the Lord the word of the
Lord all of those things mean principles
he literally in one chapter puts all of
these things he said they may not get it
when I say the law of the Lord
cuz that’s a principle so let’s say the
statutes of the Lord that’s a principle
let’s say the ways of the Lord that’s
the principle or an attitude the
precepts are though he literally keeps
listing different ways in one chapter
because all he’s saying is if you follow
my principles I can give you successful
life in every area of your life and when
it comes to relationship goals we’ve
been aiming at the wrong thing and God
says could I give you my principles the
first intention I had for marriage the
first intention I had for a relationship
the first intention and that’s why I’m
telling you that when we get the
principles of God we’re able to live the
life that he created us that’s why the
Ten Commandments all those are are
principles that we are supposed to live
our lives by the Bible is a simple book
of principles if you follow the
principles you will be successful but if
you violate them you violate yourself
look what proverbs 14:12 says because
some of y’all I feel your spirit about
the click off
I didn’t sign up for all of this baby if
you want your relationships to work you
have to follow the principles of the
manufacturer and I know because culture
reality-tv I was about to call names
people let’s just say people they’ve
taught you that you know how it works
you think you’ve watched enough bachelor
to be able to see what’s right and
what’s wrong oh I’m telling you you’ve
watched real hip-hop love in Atlanta you
you’ve seen what’s wrong and all this
other stuff
look what problems 14:12 says there is a
path before each person all y’all
that seems right that there’s one that
seems like it’s the way to go
but it is in death but look what
proverbs 16:7 says when people’s lives
please the Lord when they follow his
statues his principles he says even
their enemies are at peace with them
some of the peace that you need is found
in the principles you keep some of y’all
have been praying for peace and you have
not had peace because you don’t have
principles you let anybody into your
life because you have no standard you
have no principle and then they break
you and that you ask God to heal you and
he said if you could just get a
principle I’d give you peace
he said even your enemies have to be ok
with you when you live by the principles
of God Oh
Bible I’m too hype up here by myself so
I want to give you the keys I found them
I found the keys to the principles of
God and I need everybody to take this
down these are the principles of the
Creator we’re not gonna look at culture
right now we’re gonna look at the
principles of the Creator and these are
the things that you need to have in your
life if you’re gonna follow God’s
principles you need knowledge you need
understanding you have to be obedient
and you need application like I’m gonna
say it again
knowledge you need to you need the light
to come on you need to get more
knowledge in an area you need
understanding that’s why the Bible says
in all
you’re getting get an understanding I
don’t know where some of y’all are
getting in Corona some of y’all getting
fat in Corona
some of y’all getting weave in Corona
some of y’all some of y’all getting mad
in Corona and some of y’all getting
peeved in the Corona but what you need
to get is understanding so I get
knowledge and all you’re getting you get
understanding and then I get obedient
and this is where it breaks down for
most people because when God tells us to
do something a certain way we’re like
well I don’t even think that’s darling
even like that I don’t even think that’s
okay cool but but plenty of us have
knowledge and understanding but we
stopped at obedience because somehow we
think the product we did not make we
know better how to use it we think
somehow cuz we don’t felt something that
we should step over the principles of
God to be able to satisfy our feelings
but that knowledge goes to understanding
that understanding goes to obedience and
obedience goes to application and when
you get that you will see success you
will win in relationship and the
ignorance of these principals is
honestly a tragedy that’s why God sent
Jesus I need everybody to see this God
sent Jesus why because jesus is called
the word so when we lacked instruction
he sent the word when we lacked
principles he sent his word let me prove
it to you gimme Bible pass the mic okay
Hebrews chapter 1 verse 1 literally at
the title of my Bible it says God’s
final word his son Jesus it says in the
past God spoke to our ancestors to
prophets and that many times in various
ways but in these last things that’s
where we’re living right now he said he
has spoken to us by his son Jesus whom
he appointed heir or the Prince of all
things and through him also he made the
universe so everything you see he made
and the son is the radiance of God’s
glory and the exact representation or
the representation I like that word of
the being sustaining listen all things
by the powerful word that means right
now God’s Word is holding up everything
how is that Pastor Mike he spoke
principles into place and the whole
world what works off of principles even
today the principle of gravity he spoke
that one time he ain’t coming back every
day like gravity gravity he didn’t do
that he spoke at one time and he said a
principle in place and when he said a
principle in place everything is
functioning before us with us and after
us on the principle that God spoke time
he spoke a principle and all of us wake
up and go to sleep on the principle that
God said seasons summer fall winter
spring it doesn’t no matter if we’re in
a famine if we’re in Corona because he
said a principle and the word of God
stands forever and ever the grass
withers and the flower fades but the
Word of God stands forever why won’t we
listen to God about relationships
because he’s the only one who
understands the principles I gotta get
through this okay
when you buy a computer a toaster a
microwave a cell phone when you open the
box what is the first thing you see you
usually see a little pamphlet with a
bunch of words on it it’s not the
product you should usually see what is
it called a manual okay do any of us
read the manual completely don’t I know
you you’re literally working driving
living in things that you have never
come on let’s be honest I can’t remember
the last time I picked the manuals
honestly it’s four things my daughter
gets like I don’t know how to put these
new toys together they could really be a
lot simpler I probably need to work for
one of the toy companies because it’s
like little dumb pieces that go to
little dumb pieces and that’s the last
time I picked up the manual but like for
a TV I’ll pull a four thousand TV out
the box
plug it in hit the remote why do I need
a manual come on let’s be honest I’ve
got a new car put it in Drive put the
key in ignition Ram why I read the
manual the reason is the reason is is
most of us are paying for things that we
don’t get the full benefit of you missed
it you’re paying for things that you are
not getting the full benefit of because
you don’t read the manual about what you
are doing let me help you some of y’all
how many people have a smartphone come
on let’s be honest right now and if you
don’t have a smartphone we’re gonna pray
for you and God is bringing an increase
into your life right now but this is the
thing if you have a smartphone you paid
for probably two to three hundred
functions let’s be honest you use six of
them you text you call what else you do
you uh take pictures social media and if
you’re really fancy you take notes and
use the calendar but you literally paid
the price for hundreds of functions and
you use six of them why cuz you didn’t
read the manual and I’ve started to
think about that when it comes to our
relationships that could our marriage be
better if we would read the manual could
my single season be amazing if I would
read the manual and see what God says
about this season of singleness and how
I don’t need to rush into marriage
because this is the greatest decision of
sacrifice that I’m ever gonna make
except choosing Jesus and how I should
use this time to do what I won’t be what
I won’t find out who I am like could
this season of singleness again or
divorce be the season that God refines
you so that when you find the one you’re
supposed to be with you won’t bring the
baggage of the last season into the next
season I’m preaching right now all I’m
saying to you right now is if you would
read the manual you could get all the
benefits
but instead of benefiting we’re
suffering the truth is most of us are in
relationships with friends business
colleagues teachers mothers and fathers
marriages that we’re not getting the
full benefit of because we don’t know
how it actually works and the only way
you can find out how it actually works
is going to the manufacturer it’s like
going into marriage and not finding out
what God wants in it i’ma break this
word down the word man you okay I’m
gonna help you I told you I was gonna
teach you today and I know the next week
we gonna have to keep going Natalie
there’s so much I want to talk about
right now
there’s so much I want to give them I’m
phool like I’m overflowing right now and
I’m telling you if you get these
principles if you stay with me this
entire series if you sit down put your
seatbelt on and buckle up for what God
wants to do by the end of this series
we’re gonna hit every facet of your life
and I promise you you’re gonna win in
relationships that’s why God got you
here it’s not a coincidence it’s not a
good graphic it’s not because the sermon
series went viral is because he wants
you to win in relationships but you
can’t win without a goal and you can’t
know the goal if you don’t know the
intention and you can’t get the
intention unless you go to the
manufacturer so let me break this down
for you manufacturer let’s break that
down the word menu means to make okay
man you means to make the manufacturer
is the factory that it’s made in okay
the factory factory that made it that
which makes the product is the
manufacturer when you put man you in al
together listen to this it means the
mind of the maker the thoughts of the
maker on paper the reason you read the
manual because it’s the makers thoughts
on paper the reason you read the Bible
is cuz it’s our manual
it’s the creators thoughts the
manufacturers thoughts on paper and what
he’s saying to you right there is saying
he’s blatantly telling you when you get
a manual there that’s why it’s the first
thing it’s telling you you
do not know the makers mind about this
product you may think you know how it
works but you don’t know the upgraded
features you may have had one like this
before but you don’t know and that’s
where the Holy Spirit comes in he comes
in to give you new instructions the
Bible says that he will lead you and
guide you into all truth that’s why when
you know the principles and you walk
with the Holy Spirit you don’t just go
into things you get the makers mind the
manufacturers mind about it written on
paper that’s why the Bible is a
non-negotiable because it will save you
scars and hurt and pain and hurting
other people because you get the makers
mind on how to live life you get the
makers mind on how to be in a marriage
you get the makers mind on how to be
single you get the makers mind on how to
handle money and we are doing ourselves
a disservice by thinking so arrogantly
that we know better than God
Charles I ain’t gonna have enough time
to finish I ain’t gonna have enough time
to finish do y’all want me to keep going
tell me to keep going if y’all want me
to keep going right here if y’all want
me to keep going y’all gotta tell me to
keep going cuz because I want I want to
keep your attention but I feel like God
saying something something is about to
break off for you something’s about
ignorant that’s what it is ignorance is
about to break off of you the darkness
that you’ve been over you gonna look at
this Bible in a brand new way you’re
gonna look at this word and say hold on
it is more advantageous for me not to
read these Instagram posts and get into
the manual in the makers mind cuz I’m
trying to be blessed to be a blessing
I’m trying to have a marriage where my
children stand up and call me blessed
I’m trying to uh I’m trying to actually
be relationship goals not just go for
them okay instead of benefiting a lot of
us are suffering because we don’t know
the makers mind and because we haven’t
read the manual we’re suffering a lot
and that’s why if I have a Mercedes
I don’t go to Toyota to get it fixed why
because Toyota does not have genuine
parts for the Mercedes that’s why when
my marriage is broken I don’t go to
culture why
because they don’t have genuine parts so
that so they have fabricated things that
almost look like it fits like have sex
with everybody you want to and be able
to be free and and sow your Wild Oats
but that’s a manufacturer defaulted part
so when you do that outside of marriage
you come with the consequences like soul
ties and it rips people away and hurts
children and brings all of this stuff
and you show up to your wedding day but
it looks like everybody them picked up
off for you and you’re not the person
the whole person that you’re supposed to
be you’re not 50% and they’re 50% you’re
supposed to step into that thing whole
and that person is supposed to step into
whole we’ll talk about singleness on
another week but I’m telling you right
now the only reason that this thing is
happening is because we have not gotten
the genuine parts from the actual
manufacturer and that’s why I’m telling
everybody this is the title of my
message I know it took me all the way to
the end to get it warning warning
warning read the manual before you touch
the product before you get into a
relationship before you go another day
in the marriage before you say and call
it quits and you sign the divorce
documents read the manual before you
touch this product again and some of you
have been in relationships and now
you’re business partners there’s no love
there’s no passion
the kids are out you looking at your
husband and wife you don’t even know if
you love them but you don’t like them
all of these different things God says
it’s not too late at the moment you open
the manual as the moment you open the
word at the moment you use resources
like the book I just wrote to get in the
heart and the mind of God he said the
Bible is the only book that when you
read it it reads you it’s alive it
surfers in any two-edged sword mama they
need to understand that if you read the
manual you can have the guarantee of the
manufacturer that’s good word right
there I need you to understand the to
many of us
are touching this thing called
relationships and there’s no way it’s
gonna be a goal cuz we don’t even know
what to aim at God’s plan for you is
that you win in relationship but God’s
principles principles for you are fine
found in his manual Pastor Mike I
thought you was gonna talk about what I
need to do like for my relationship I’m
about to broke up about to break up with
your mom right now
and I need to know before you do
anything go to the manual see what God’s
Word say I’m believing that this week
cuz this principle is applied to more
than just your relationships you can
apply to every area of your life if you
do not know what the manufacturer says
about everything in your life you’re
living below the benefit and that’s why
I’m asking you for the next six weeks
seven weeks eight weeks however long
this series is can we make the Word of
God the final authority on what
relationships are supposed to be what
the goal is supposed to be not anything
else because the only one that can speak
to that is the one who made it in this
moment right now I know people’s minds
are going why it’s because you’re
getting knowledge lights are coming on
Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing
Bing Bing I see it happening everywhere
right now Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing
Bing because you’ve been walking in
darkness and you’ve been thinking that
another blog or another thing would help
you but God says I already put all the
principles you need for life and
godliness in this love letter to you and
that’s why when I think about the
divorce rate for married couples saved
or unsaved being 50 percent that means
you have a 50% chance today if you get
married that it’s gonna end in divorce
which is the hardest type of ripping
away of a relationship in humanity when
people are that intertwined and then
they rip away the only thing that
happens is damaged and yes you can
survive divorce and yes you can be
restored after divorce but you don’t get
to take away the consequences
of getting into that thing and the
things that come out when you rip away
from each other and that’s why God says
in his word I hate divorce not because
he hates the people he hates that we
were ignorant and we didn’t do the
things that we needed to do to make sure
that’s what we needed to get into or we
didn’t go to counsel and after we got
married or we didn’t make the children a
second priority to our priority with God
and the priority with our spouse so that
we can learn how to live and show our
kids how to walk God’s saying would you
please do it my way could you read the
manual
I’m begging everybody right now your
relationship will not get better with
time it’ll get better with knowledge and
knowledge that comes from the Word of
God faith comes by hearing and hearing
what God if you want your relationship
to win you want to get better you want
to be relationship goals go to the
manual find the manufacturers mind about
relationships stop talking to your
friend who none of her relationships
work that’s ignorant
that’s darkness now just get this image
in my head I get this image in my head
of a cookbook
you know when you open up the cookbook
and you see a cake or you see a good
dish and you’re like ah dude that looks
good then you get in the kitchen and on
one side is this beautiful picture and
on the other side there’s all these
little black blurbs and most of the time
what we want to do is just get the
picture but a lot of times when when we
try to make it and we don’t follow the
instructions or the makers mind we get
something we didn’t sign up for and many
of you are products of relationships
where people didn’t follow the
instructions some of us have started off
with a disadvantage broken homes father
not their mom working all the time to be
the mom and the dad this I was molesting
I was raped or I was broken and how can
I be what I didn’t see it
it’s all of these things and God’s
saying I hate that it happened to you
but you can be delivered from that I can
give you light or knowledge that dispels
the ignorance or the darkness over your
situation you’re a child of God wherever
the enemy comes in to get you with shame
and grief and guilt he said any man that
be in Christ he’s a new creation the old
has passed away behold I have made all
things new but you will be ignorant of
that if you do not go to the manual he
says you are the righteousness of Christ
no matter how many people you slept with
or know how many people you took
advantage with no matter if you are a
player no matter if you’ve been
emotionally I’m cheating on your spouse
God says at this moment right now I’m
talking to real situations right now at
this moment right now go back to the
manufacturer and get the manual see what
his mind is on your relationship because
just like that cake if the cake comes
out salty and hard you can’t blame the
cake the cake didn’t do it and that’s
what we try to do with marriage and
relationships marriages don’t work hold
on
because your marriage is hard and salty
don’t blame marriage you got a look at
the ingredients and if you don’t have
two single people that are going after
God and that are really letting him lead
and guide and then you get into the
marriage and it’s not working out and
you got the wrong what becomes hard and
salty and you get divorced but there was
a story in Matthew that these religious
leaders I’ll reference it so you can
know to go study it Matthew chapter 19
verse 3 through 6 but when it happened
they were trying to trap Jesus and they
said basically he said hey is it lawful
for a man to get divorced from a woman
for anything cuz back in that day you
could get divorced from your wife if she
sneezed the wrong way or she cooked and
put some hot sauce and your stuff and
like you could divorce him for any
reason and Jesus he’s so gangster with
it I love it because most of us are
figuring out trying to figure out how
not to get a divorce or trying not to
figure out how the relationship getting
in just trying not to make it good but
just how it doesn’t break and Jesus
comes to them and doesn’t even answer
their question he said y’all asking me
about the worst relationship breakup
that there can be divorced because it
damages everybody involved he said um
but I’m not gonna answer your question
look what he says Matthew chapter 19
verse 4 I love it it says haven’t you
what’s that word read haven’t you looked
for more knowledge haven’t you read
something hasn’t the light come on in
the scriptures in the manual Jesus reply
they record that from the beginning God
made oh that’s so good we’re not gonna
talk about divorce because divorce is a
symptom
it’s not the real problem the divorce is
the end result of people that did not
consult the principles of God in the
manual so I’m not gonna talk about
divorce I’m gonna go back to the
beginning because if we start off with
the right principles in the right people
then we can get in the right
relationships and have the right
marriages and businesses and then
divorce is not even an option symptoms
are there to tell our body that
something is wrong the pain comes to
tell us that something is wrong and what
I’m telling you is all the divorce
that’s happening is telling us that as a
society we have gotten away from the
manufacturers intent for relationships
and God goes to the beginning and today
all I’m asking us let’s go back to the
beginning my last point to get the
manufacturers guarantee in relationships
you must read the manual
come at me wear everything you want to
come out well what about this book and
what about this book and I want to let
you know the manual is not
relationshipgoals the book all I tried
to do with that is take principles from
the manual and make it easy to get your
appetite going towards that and I think
it would be a great asset to your life
for you to get into it but I’m telling
you if you don’t got that boot this all
good go to the Word of God because when
you go to the Word of God that’s where I
got everything from the book
relationship go the only thing I do
remember anything that is not a
principle is an opinion and many of us
have been reading opinion books and
reading opinion blogs and reading the
hearing the opinions of our cousin or
this guy or this celebrity and God says
hey listen all of those are opinions I
need you to come back to the principle
and to get the manufacturers guarantee
in relationship you must read study the
manual
before this I was telling my wife what I
was gonna read and she started looking
up manuals and she said oh my gosh Mike
that’s good I was like what baby she
said you could preach this I said what
baby
she said I’m about to tell you I said
say it Natalie and she said Michael look
what this instruction says it says
failure to read may result in serious
injury or property damage could that not
explain what many of us are feeling
right now
even though we’re acting like
everything’s fine everybody comes around
how are you doing I’m good
but because you didn’t read the menu
failure to read it
can result in serious injury injury of a
heart injury of our mind injury of our
purpose injury of our destiny some of us
aren’t going after purpose because of
one thing that somebody said that we
loved or we liked
they killed purpose inside of us they
spoke death into us we didn’t follow the
principles and now we’re waiting for God
to give us another word and he said I’ve
already called you great I’ve already
called you good I’ve already spoken my
word over you but you have to go back
and read the manual and today some
people are feeling broken and lost but I
have an analogy for you Pass me the
basketball this basketball
just like your life in my hands this
basketball is worth about $15 but in the
hands of LeBron James this basketball is
worth about forty million dollars a year
football let’s give it to me here we go
this football right here in my hands
it’s worth about $12 but in the hands of
Peyton Manning this is worth eighty
million dollars over a career okay
that’s me that Golf Club real quick this
club right here in my hands it’s worth
about $50 and that top golf I’ll give
you the business but in the hands of
Tiger Woods it’s the first billion
dollar athlete billion a stick
in my hands a rod it maybe can beat off
an animal that comes to attack my wife
while I’m screaming like a girl I can
just see it in my head but a stick or a
rod in the hands of Moses splitsies a
swing shot in my hands is a child’s toy
but in the hands of King David
it can take down Giants to nails in my
hands maybe hang a couple pictures but
two nails in the hands of our Savior can
save humanity provide salvation and give
eternal life your relationship in your
hands will continue to produce the same
broken results over and over but your
relationship in God’s hands will get the
manufacturer’s guarantee of winning in
relationships today I’m asking you to
take your worry your pain your
frustration your fear take it out of
your hands cuz in your hands it’s gonna
just get you more of the same but if you
cast your tears on the one who cares for
you if you give him your worry your pain
I don’t know what I’m gonna do about my
job if you give them the things in your
relationship if you give them your past
he’s the only one that can take your
mess and make a message he’s the only
one that can take your pieces and make a
masterpiece he’s the only one that can
take your hurt and heal others today I’m
asking you could at the beginning of
this series could we just go back to the
manufacturer
the one who created relationship before
any of us were here and get his mind
[Music]
hands lifted all over this place come on
in your home right now I believe God is
doing a work on your heart on your soul
on your spirit in the name that is above
every name I declare and I believe that
right now
this is relationship surgery that’s
happening in people father forgive us
where we have put other things as
principle above you as first above you
how to raise our kids how to date how to
be single how to be married how to do
business forgive us Lord today we repent
and all that means is we turn we turn
back to you we turn back to your manual
we find the makers mind about
relationships and today God I thank you
that this is the start of a revolution
in Revelation that will cause
transformation and every family and
every home and every heart I thank you
that today we’re surrendering ourselves
to you every marriage we’re surrendering
our marriage to you every single person
we’re surrendering our singleness to you
every divorced person we’re we’re
surrendering our lives to you God and I
thank you that this week oh I feel the
presence of God when people crack open
the manual that you left us I thank you
that you would jump off the pages I
think you father that your word would be
alive and it would be sharper than any
two-edged sword I think that the answers
we’ve been looking for in man’s opinion
will be solved in a moment when we find
out the principle God changes from the
inside out and let us know that our
first relationship goal the principle
relationship goal should be a
relationship with you today reorder our
priorities and give us your heart we
cast our cares on you because you care
for us in Jesus name in that same
posture if you’re you’re here you’re
watching
it’s not by an accident those same two
nails that were worthless in my hands
they were put in Jesus’s hands check
this out just for you and when he
allowed them and that’s what I want you
to know he didn’t have to do it but he
did when we were yet sinners when we
were still in the club when we were
sleeping with everybody when I was
addicted to pornography
when I was lying to Authority he said
Michaels gonna need this so hand those
nails and put them in me and I’ll be the
eternal sacrifice for every one of his
mess-ups and today I want to give you
the greatest relationship goal you could
ever have is a relationship with Jesus
Christ and I know some of you are
thinking of all the religion that’s like
but I just did this and I’m planning to
do this and they don’t even know that
I’m still doing this and God says I
already know that he said I I just want
your heart well maybe I need to do some
things together first and maybe I need
to clean up because then if I clean up
then I can come to God this is the
hospital of humanity God’s saying you
can come in here bleeding you can come
in here broken that’s why I am the great
physician I am the healer I am the one I
am the lord who Hylian healeth thee I am
the Lord your healer I sit my word to
heal your dis-ease I am the Lord your
healer if today he’s available to you
with every person knowing that this is a
reverent moment I want you to begin to
pray if you’ve already accepted Jesus
Christ I’m telling you I feel the
presence of God chains are being broken
off for people right now as I speak if
you’re watching live if you’re watching
by rebroadcast I’m telling you this is
not an accident this is an appointment
God said I designed this moment for you
to find out my heart and according to
the manual and Romans 10:9 he said if
you just believe in me not change
everything yet God’s not asking you to
do that people ask you to do that
religious people ask you to do that but
God says if you give me your heart I’m
helped you change your habits if you
would just believe that I died for you
and arose again with all power you will
be saved
turn
from the way that you’ve been doing it
and follow me I will give you the light
that leads to life and today that’s what
God is offering you if that’s you I just
want you to on the count of three to
slip your hand in the air wherever you
are just saying pastor include me in
that prayer and I believe there’s
hundreds of people if not thousands of
people I feel the presence of God that
are about to make the decision today
this is the day of salvation not
tomorrow it’s not promised to us but
right now in this moment we have a
moment to honor the principle of God by
allowing him into our heart if that’s
you one you’re making the greatest
decision you’ve ever made two you are
the one that God has been coming after
and we’re proud of you three just lift
that hand up right there God sees you it
doesn’t matter if you’re in a room by
yourself or with your family you could
put your hand down
now transformation church is a family so
we pray together I need to hear you from
all over the world right now praying
this prayer out loud for the benefit of
those who are coming to Christ we’re
getting new family members I want
everybody to just say they say God thank
you for sending Jesus just for me thank
you for giving me the principle of grace

Thank you for the post on your blog. Do you provide an RSS feed?
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just dont know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
