Today we are in week six

of a series we're calling crazier faith. And today, I have a special assignment from God to talk and preach through a message that is so powerful. And it's a powerful piece of scripture, but I need us to set some parameters before I go into this scripture. I need you to allow me to teach you this scripture outside of the box. It was introduced to you in Okay. When I say this scripture, you're gonna think something automatically. I want to step outside of the box that you would normally hear this scripture in. And I want to reveal a crazy faith principle that will literally change the trajectory of your entire life. Can we do that together? I said, Can we do that together? So today, I want to read Second Corinthians chapter nine. I'm gonna read verse six, all the way through verse 10. And the box that this scripture is usually in is in the offering box. You only hear this scripture, when people are talking at offering time. There is no offering being taken today. No second offering no $100 lines, nothing's happening. I want to teach you a principle that will change your life. Are you ready? I said, are you ready? Second Corinthians chapter nine, verse six, it says, Remember this, whoever so sparingly, will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly so that in all things at all times, having all the I like all the balls right there, that's a lot of us. That God in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Somebody say amen. Sit down. As I walk you through this crazy your faith principle. I gotta go back up to the beginning in verse six. Cuz he's saying the Apostle Paul is saying, remember this as he's talking to the church of Corinth. He saying, remember this, everybody say, remember this. That means don't forget it.

That means when you get busy and blessed, don't forget this. That means when God does answer the prayer, and things start going good, and you don't need as much prayer time, because you feel like you got what you asked for. Don't forget this.

Remember this? And these two words mess me up?

Who, ever? So

if you all get this, it changes everything.

It literally says, whoever.

And this one I see whoever in the Bible is an indication that this is not for special people. It is a principle in the earth. And most believers get out of character and bent out of shape, when they see people who don't believe in God like they do prospering in ways that they don't. Oh, I'm coming to your house today. Well, they live like that. And how does that happen? Because they've caught the whoever's of the Bible.

They've caught the principles that create a life The sad thing is, they don't get to take it with them. So they can have all of this on Earth. But it means nothing in eternity, because they never caught the second half of it. But they live in good on earth. Why you live in hell on earth? Because they caught the principles of everybody say whoever

right this point down, whoever gets this gets this. So get this. Or let me say it in a different way so you can get it. Whoever gets This principle that's about to be shared in the Word of God gets this promise. So get this, please, I'm asking you to check in for the next 45 minutes to get this one principle. And the other thing that everybody has to know whenever the Bible says, whoever, whoever includes your haters, whoever includes the people that hurt you, and whoever includes the people that live like Him today, and you think that you should be better than them, God has made promises that and principles that live on the earth, that apply to them to sit with it. Because most of you are mad at somebody who has seemingly what you want, but they didn't have to go through what you're going through to get it. First off, you don't know their story. first thing. Second thing is, God allows his principles, many of them to work for the just, and the unjust. This the Bible, people don't preach, because it makes you locked into religion by fear. Well, I got to do it like this, because if I don't do it like this, God won't bless me. There are people out here living completely opposite of God, but have tapped into principles that the church is missing. And all I'm saying is don't live like them. But don't miss this. Hear what I'm saying? Somebody shot at me, whoever. Okay? Now, there's a principle, it comes right after the word, whoever, write this down, underline it and make it big, get a tattoo of it on your face. Sones

whoever sows, everybody say, so.

That's the principle I want to give you in crazy faith today. Because many people in the body of Christ have been void of sowing. God spoke to me so clearly, Mike. And he said to me, he said, Michael, he said, My people are believing for a forest, where they've never planted a seed. Crazy faith, you ain't song. One thing.

I have a business with all these people who work with me, and they're passionate, and you don't serve nobody. I'm about to take over this territory and see God do a maximum and you're not a part of a church.

You have not some. And when I looked at this, I started to think, whoever can so whatever, according to the Scripture, the reason I'm taking it out of this box, is so that you know that this scripture is talking about money, but it applies to everything. Look what it says, who oversee whoever so sparingly will reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will reap generously, you can sow your time, your talent, and your treasure. You can sow information, influence and ideas. You can sow a platform, a plug, you can serve could sow connections, and contexts, but you're stingy. And God said, Why would I trust somebody who won't? So what I've already given them with more, so they don't so that today, I want to ask you, if you have the faith to so what's in your hand? Yay. And I know like you think, Oh, get just offering out your mind for a second. What's in your hand? What gifts and talents has God given you that are becoming decrepid? Because you won't give them away? Well, that idea is just for No, no, no, no, no, that idea was a seed. It wasn't the harvest. It wasn't the fruit. It was just the beginning. Somebody say just the beginning. The best thing that God's ever given you was a seed. And right now, people are protecting seeds, when they should be sowing them. I'm about to preach this thing. Oh, it's kind of starting off a little slow. No, I'm about to teach you how to sew. I'm about to teach you a principle. You'll see how hype I am already. I'm trying to control it. I'm trying to teach you a principle that ended me up on this platform today. I'm trying to teach you a principle that took us from not having anything to now being an answer to people's prayer I'm trying to teach you. And the principle is that if you do not, so now it will never grow. The seed outside of the soil cannot grow.

There are nonprofits, you should be sowing your life into right now. Because 10 years from now, it's going to grow into a tree that everybody will eat off of. But right now, because you don't have the time, and it doesn't work with my schedule, you spent seven hours your iPhone told you scrolling this week

when you could have sold that seven hours into something that would show back up in your life. But I understand, we don't think the way that Jesus talks in the Bible, do you know over 1/3 of his analogies, were about farming. Jesus talks about sowing and reaping all through the Bible. And I begin to study in this six week of crazy your faith. What is going to unlock the forest of your faith? Because there you're going to get the imagery of this. The forest of your faith, the thing your grandkids will be able to walk through.

Say Dang,

my granddaddy believe God, My grandmama was sowing seeds when I wasn't even thought about. Did I just get to college? With no debt?

Because of the seeds of Ma Ma?

Did I just Dana spiritual inheritance that just dropped down. I don't know I just have something.

Am I being provided nourishment and nutrition? From something I didn't eat? It's the forest of your faith. That starts off as a seed. The business the book The building's

God will never give it to you finished. He'll give it to you as a seat. I want to bust somebody's magic bubble. In Christianity. You pray for what you think you want. And God gives you the baby version of what it can be. In the book when I talk about baby faith, I'm trying to give everybody the formula for seeing what God wants you to see. Remember last week I talked about see it before you see it. This week I want to talk about so it before you see it. You're never gonna see it until you saw it. But let me ask you a question because it got heavy in here real quick is some of y'all like what is about to happen? Stay with me. Let me ask you a question. Which one of these three people have more faith? The first one, I'm going to put it up on the screen. This is a multiple choice. Question for you. This is a tight rope walker. Would you say that this person has faith? Most of us would be like he has craziest faith. Like that don't make any sense. There's somebody else that many of you would say had faith, but put it up there for me. This is a skydiver anybody ever been skydiving before? One black person in the room. Okay, so your passenger has been skydiving my wife for some reason thought it was a good thing for my 26th birthday to throw me out of a plane. So I've been skydiving, and most people would think that this person has faith. But according to Scripture in the kingdom, the person who has more faith than both of these people is this guy. A farmer. Now he's not up on a tight rope, cascading to mountains. And he's not flying 10,000 feet up in the air. But he understands faith. He understands that for you to see a harvest, there has to be a seed sown. The title of my message is faith like a farmer saw it before you see it. Faith like a farmer. So it before you see it, this message is countercultural. It's kingdom. So it's going to bother your insides. Because some of you are counting how little you have right now. Some of you at this moment, you're turning your heart and your brain off. Because you're saying to me, Well, you don't know what I've been through. And you don't know how the pandemic hit me. And you don't know what I just lost. And you don't know how that investment was. So I'm telling you, that if you want your faith to go to a crazier level, you need to have faith, like a farmer

cannot prove it to you Genesis chapter eight, verse 22, after God is done with humanity, and wipes that whole mug out with the flood and only leaves no one in his family. He's like, I'm sick of the people I created. I'm done with them in his house, some of y'all with with your kids. And y'all be like, just go in your room. I can't stand you look like your daddy. Like God was done with us. And then he

sits down in the recliner of heaven and, and just chills out for a second. And Gustafsson is like, ya know what I messed up, I blew up on your, I'm gonna make a covenant with you. And I'm never going to destroy the Earth again. But there's some principles I'm going to put in place. That will be a covenant with creation. I'm trying to teach you to unlock this next level of crazy your faith, God's covenant with creation Genesis 822, while the earth remains, so you will be gone before this doesn't exist anymore.

There will be seed time.

And what harvest now we read that it's like yeah, let me see total harvest. Okay, keep going cold in hate. Winter and Summer, and day and night shall not cease chapter rings. What? Like, there are four things that he uses to illustrate to us. This dynamic that he wants to know will always be on the earth. Day and night are we got that? Like that's when I go to sleep. And that's when I wake up day and I got that winter and summer. Yeah, it's fall right now I'm gonna get my winter clothes on and then summer is gonna be sun's out guns out, we get that cold in hate. My wife is in love with the cold. I freeze every day of my life in my house.

And I don't know what it is to have heat in my house even though I pay for it.

But I understand the concept of cold and heat. But most believers, because we live in such a technology, advanced time, we don't understand the principle of seed time and harvest. This is what we think it is.

Say time harvest

that's how we read it. As long as our fishermen I love this part. This is where God does his thing

sits on harvest.

We think it's that quick. And we think God has failed.

When I gave my seed I applied for the job. I went and finished school while I'm not a millionaire

Why don't people know my name?

Why I'm not I'm not distinguished yet.

Because you read the words and didn't get the principle.

See time

harvest in a generation where everything is about instant gratification we miss Kingdom Principles. It's not see time. Harvest it's not started church. go viral. Oh ya know, y'all think I started when transformation church blew up. Do you know how many I asked my wife the other day how long have I worked at transformation church Greenwood. 13 years. I started off as the sound man in this church sowing seeds. What you're looking at today is the harvest. But what you didn't see I'm about to preach this thing is was every day I showed up every week and ran sound when it was $35 a week to run Sam and I was driving a 15 passenger van at that time, so $35 just think I'm playing my mama laughing on the front row. $35 would get me a fourth of a tank in that big old ship.

If I wasn't doing it for money, I was doing it for my future. I missed it. I wasn't doing it for accolades. I was doing it because it was my assignment.

I was sowing. And I knew it was seed time. But sometimes I like to deconstruct the word because it helps me get it better. So see time is one word. But God said read it slower, Michael and sounds like seed time harvest. It's like slower. Seed time. Harvest. I was like, huh, he says, Read it even slower. See?

Time.

I don't want you to miss this. Just say sure with me. See?

Time. Hard.

God said the principle is that every seed you show has time attached. That there is a ticking time bomb. On every seed, you saw that if you plant it in right soil, it's just a matter of time. But that mug has to there is a principle in the earth. It has to break through. And many of us have not understood. See.

Because that's what it feels like sometimes don't.

You thought it was coming. Right after you shout it out. I went to church yesterday. Got out about 115 130 Got a call. And it was hard baby.

You might be shouting today for what you see in three years. I know I know. I know. That's why some people's praise is ignorant. Because they know the more that they praise. All they're doing is sowing seeds into their future. Some of y'all you're only praise when you see it happen. Others of us, we begin to praise God in advance. Because I know I'm just so insane. I'm just sowing seed, and there's gonna be time and a promise there's gonna be a what? Hi? Yah, yah, I'm gonna walk you through this today, if you got something else to do, if the game is on, go ahead and watch it. But don't, don't play yourself and miss the principle that would change your life. So then our cross reference this because if we don't understand farming, how many farmers do I have watching right now hands raised in the chat. And in the mom put your hands down, my mother in law put her hand up, you ain't been on a farm in six decades. She said, Let's sit down. And the farmers in the I don't see no hands in here in the chat, maybe two or three. If you don't understand the parameters of how somebody lives their life, you missed a revelation that may be in there. So I started studying farming this week. And what I found is that the Bible was not incomplete. But it just left out some details that we don't think about. Remember what I said the formula was, it was see time and what heart but they forgot something that I found in Second Corinthians it says remember this remember our anchor scripture whoever souls

see time harvest, see time harvest. I'll see so in there.

Seed harvest so that means you can have a seed and if you don't so it it doesn't matter how long you wait. You won't see a

I just need to make sure the Bible said see time. Heart you can hold your seat. You can eat your seat. You can wear your seat. You can

if you don't sow your seed, you will never reap your harvest. I'm trying to help somebody because right now, what you You've been sowing you've been seeing, and it's nothing, because you ain't so nothing.

I thought God was for me he is. And that's why I place autumn seeds in you, and you at home praying when you shouldn't be plowing you're praying, why you should be plowing, you should be in somebody's field picking up dirt and planting seeds. Seed.

So

time harvest, I just expanded it for you, I need you to write that out.

See? So

time, and then what? Harvest Okay, so write this write this point down. Sowing is implied, because everybody has seed. Sowing is implied seed time and harvest. The reason they didn't put it in there is because sowings implied. If you got seed, use it for its purpose.

The only purpose of a seed is to sow so that it can produce more after its own KY seed. So time harvest.

This is why I say all the time, all you have is all you need. Why? Because God's not requiring a seed that he has not already given you. Some of y'all are so discontent with the season you're in. And God says you are holding your future right now in the place of seed form, and you trying to go to that city and work that job, but you'll have the same seed. God said, I'm not giving you new seed. So if you go there and the boss he doesn't recognize me, God said it don't matter if they recognize you sow the seed there was they don't see my potential, it don't matter, the seed in the right soil gotta produce, it doesn't matter what your family says. So the seed, somebody shot at me, so the seed, so the seed of your life. So the seed of your influence. So some of y'all won't even invite people to church, because it doesn't work with your social media aesthetic. The reason God's not giving you no more influence is because you won't sow the seed of the influence you have. You have what you got? And you got what you have. Because you won't. So oh, I'm telling you right now that this principle works in every area of your life. Can I tell you a personal story? When I started pastoring, this church, I stood on the shoulders of two people who literally in crazy faith moved to the north side of Tulsa as a white couple in the womb of racial tension. Right where the 1921 race massacre happened is where they had the audacity to build the church and call it Greenwood Christian Center. I wouldn't call this a male solid circle of hope or I wouldn't call this. But they had a mission from God to go in in a place that was devastated by all of this division and be able to be a light right there. 16 years of planting right there. Did you hear what I just said? 16 years of planting or can I say it a different way sewing? They sold where nobody else was sewing. They took resources and connections and all they went to where it was uncomfortable.

They went to where they weren't invited to so they went to where there was no red carpet to solve. I'm trying to give somebody a formula. It may not be easy to solve there. But it's where you'll grow. You may not get applause, sewing where God tells you to say your family may not understand why you can't go on the vacation because you gave that to that nonprofit or to that business or to that single mother. They may not get it. But they'll see one day remember the formula See, so y'all gotta help me time. Harvest saying again. So seed. So time, harvest one more time, seed.

So time

harvest for 16 years they sold. They sold so much that when it was my turn I started off with the harvest I didn't plant this is what generational blessing looks like. When I started pastoring and some of y'all adults is so nasty. You want them to get it by the bootstraps. That means you didn't make enough for us to get anything. When you will not generationally think I'm talking to you right now. Not 18 don't figure it out. That means you're unselfish. God bless you. Because my God talks about generational blessing of good man leaves an inheritance for its chill. Y'all better hear me up in here, and you so stingy and broke and busted.

You want your kids to struggle how you struggle?

Do you know experience is not the only way you can learn? It's actually the lowest level of learning.

It's actually gonna go out there and figure it out. That's dumb. Look at you.

I started off with a paid off building. I started off with members know somebody want to be there.

This honestly about 300. But I started off with something. It was crazy faith for Bishop McIntosh and Pastor Debbie to take out a second mortgage on the house to help the church stay afloat. Can we give God praise from modern day faith heroes? Oh, y'all better yet nothing about transformation church would be what it is without those two people. Yeah, I love now watch. But then when God gave me the baton, he said crazier faith. I said hold on work. I was just trying to maintain what they was doing. God said I go from faith to faith. If this is where you start, guess what I'm taking you. And when I stood up Bree and Tammy as my witness that first day when my knees shaking, I say God said

that this church is going to be multi ethnic. Multi,

with what I write down when I write there. That's how I was scared.

multi ethnic, multi generation, multigenerational multiplying, and multicampus.

Nobody was cheering.

J You were cheering J. That's my sister. She was to hear that, but most people wouldn't hear it.

But God showed me something in seed form. So when we went here, and he said, crazier. I took over the church and all that bishop and Pastor Debbie had done, we had hit a plateau. We had hit a place where it seemed like if you're going to do good, this is this is how far you're gonna go. Like money wise, influence wise, everything. This is your plateau. And I in prayer, figured out what was happening. We had come against a principality of poverty. Now I know I'm getting deep right now. But where we were in North Tulsa, there was a principality of poverty over our church and over people's minds. And then there was a ceiling of segregation. I'm just telling you what happened. I'm just giving you the process. I figured out in prayer that there was so much segregation after that 1921 race massacre and the railroads came right there. Black people and Hispanic people was on this side of the railroad. And white people were on this side of the railroad, and that generational divide that was still there in 1999. And steel, they're in 2002 when they started the church over there and still there. And God said we've got to deal with this.

I said, Okay,

he said, there's one more thing, Mike, there's restriction on your reach where you're at? I say okay, God, so who do I need to call? Who do I need to partner with who needs to come in and bless the church? He said, We don't need anybody else me and you are the majority. Okay, so what do you want me to do? He said, When you hit a plateau, so what? I'm giving y'all big keys right now. Now, whatever area of your life you hit a plateau, so So right there, your marriage has no more passion since somebody else on a staycation in your city and pay for it. Well should not use my resources for my struggling marriage.

Y'all hit a plateau. So

well, my situation is backed up and jacked up. So should not whenever you hit a plateau, you do what? So?

So, first year pastoring God developing crazy faith in me. He said, Michael, listen to my instructions. Your church has a poverty, principality over it. You're gonna break it by sewing.

That doesn't make sense. He said, but it makes miracles.

I said, Okay, so what do you want me to do? He said, get up in front of the church. There are people in this room that were there that Sunday. He said, get up in front of your church and tell them you're going to take an offering. And every dollar that comes in you're giving to other churches in the community. And I stood up and say y'all today and I think like an expectation I think we might have been an expect effect or something like that. We're gonna sow a seed and give it away. And we raised $8,300 that Sunday. And that week now, that was crazy faith. That wasn't like No 1000 Didn't nobody have $1,300 at the top? What nobody that 1300 We was like, oh my god, I got less. Lord, do the work, do the work and bring it like we was trying to Oh, yeah.

We did everything send the net at 300 away. Because at the time, it was completely crazy.

But the generosity that people know, transformation church today last year, we gave away $3.5 million in one service.

I can't fool with you. I got proof though. God's been too good from 8300 to 3.5.

But everybody rejoices over the harvest.

But they don't know. The

same. We sold at 300 in the dark in it became 3.5 in the light.

What aren't you sewing today?

That other thing about the ceiling of segregation. First year, my pastor Tammy, remember when I would be coming into the meetings and I'd be like we're doing a unite my city event, which was another nonprofit. And around the time, Terrence Crutcher had just been murdered. And our city was in a boiling point of divide. And I partnered with this group called um unite my city with Jason law and all those guys. We hosted a Vince at our church, we paid money for stuff we catered and brought all these people. And somebody was asking why are you doing all this? Do you get anything out of this all this? I said, Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm in the future. I need all these people who look like this to come to the north side of Tulsa to this church. So I'm going to invite every different type of person and we're going to everybody shout at me so we sold time, talent, treasure I was making graphics and videos they know by paying me looking at the United Way city of go back on my social media. You can go all the way back down and see me all out here with JC law out here doing this just sewing.

And now when transformation church opens up, do you know that there's as many white people at this church?

I'm up here in Yeezy shorts and a chain and Sally likes it? Do you understand what I'm saying? John? Y'all fake right here. But this is the most interracial place in our city. You got to see it before you see it. And you got to sew it before you see it somebody's gonna get

and that restriction on reach jewel that we had. We do great stuff. We did a play called ransom.

Y'all I'm not no cat. Ransom could be on Broadway right now. Matter In fact, why don't we just turn this into? Yeah, so so. Okay, all right. Somebody saw

it. But when we did ransom for the first time, it was like 1200 people that saw ransom. Like the whole city didn't come out for ransom. But

God said I'm so I said, how you want me to do that? He says sometimes you got to So collectively, you got to get what a circle of faithful so with you. I said okay with me. He said get up in front of the church, who all of them don't like you.

This was real at the time. And asked him to so. So you can buy new cameras? Because I need to expand the reach of this church.

Okay, God. Now you know who I'm talking to right? God, they don't like me. And some of them are just waiting for the moment to say, I knew. He said, obey me. Or have what you have.

I said, You know what? Look. So I stood up and I say, y'all, we're gonna raise $80,000 to bring new cameras. Everybody, just, you know, bring your faith bring your best faith. And let's also

and we raised almost to the dollar $80,000. Now watch, guess what happened? People left the church? Oh, no, I lost something in this season sewing.

But do you know what I gained?

On the own on the other side of what seemed like a loss. Nobody would know transformation church. If we as a collective group didn't. So for those $80,000 When nobody but remember the principle seed.

So

it was four years. From the time we sold to the time we saw any harvest on them cameras. Can I tell you that my mom and her prayer group was watching the surface back we had 50 plays a week. Because nobody was checking for transformation church. I'd be up there sweating, doing everything I'm doing right now for 41 plays. How do I know because I screenshotted it one time

believing in faith, that my seed wasn't in vain. Sometimes you got to know that when you saw it's not in vain. And some of y'all been discouraged, that you sold and the enemies been trying to wear you out. Why would you move there? Why would you give your life to that you built that and didn't take any credit. And God say hey, don't get weary. in well doing, you sold something that's gonna pop back up if you don't ruin it. And some of y'all are digging in dirt right now trying to find the seed, leave it alone. That seed has something in your future.

And then relationship goes goes viral. All this stuff happens. Years happen. And now we hear

Tammy, how did this happen? Mahmoud? I mean, you can pray but like, how did how did this like? How did we just spend 35 million on the building across and still have money in the bank to give away? I mean, I know I can speak these words misspelled on this paper right now?

Like, there's no way

you don't learn a principle of the kingdom that when there's time and Ivan recognize my See, then I have to have the crazy faith to so and then I have to have the crazy wait I have to have the crazy wait to last whatever amount of time. But at some point, it's gonna show back up. Okay. So when you hit a plateau, what are you supposed to do? So, okay, okay. And now, should I give them the bonus point? Can I just say that somebody in the back gave me okay, to give you the bonus point. I can't talk about it for real this week, maybe next week. But many of y'all go hey, The harvest because you're not a farmer. Church people shout at harvest time. Farmers know that it's time to work.

The harvest you're believing for most of y'all. Why is this depression come upon me? Why is everybody forsaken me? Why do I feel separate? You prayed for this? You sow seeds for this, you man because you're in meetings with finance people in lawyers, and this is what you asked for God expand this to the place where we give it this is yo prayer. So let me explain this. Uh huh. It seed. So you're not helping me? Let me start over. It's See, Come on, help me.

So then it's what

time and then it's work.

They don't want to work. They want the prophetic word and not the prophetic work. The work I do is more anointed than the word I get. God doesn't want to just see me be able to receive a word and just pray and believe God says, work. I hear prophetess Rihanna. Work, work, work. Work work when you see me work. Work work. I mean, like I see the hope.

And if the church doesn't lose their lazy faith, we will miss harvest time.

Seed.

Y'all, I'm doing this so y'all can get it.

See? So time word, they work hard. This is the principle that will produce in your life over and over and over and over as long as the Earth will remain.

This will never cease.

So what I decided is that I would be a serial Sower. Y'all heard of serial killers. My wife be watching all these crazy like this woman she was the bank teller. And then she just killed 58 People like what this point came because of what my wife watches when I go to sleep. So this is what happened. You talk about serial killers and serial cheaters. Have you met any serial killers? Somebody that's so repetitive in generosity.

Somebody that just wherever I'm at it don't matter what you're going through. I don't so because of what you look like I so because I'm a serial Sower. I'm a I got faith like a farmer. People will be like, well, do they really need it? No matter if you need it. I know when I planted it no matter what it looks like. It don't matter if they already got it. Some of y'all so broke, you only saw where there's a need. I saw where I'm going. I saw where there's a need. And I saw where I'm going. So but well, they don't need that. But they got it. So I want to show it in good ground.

Somebody say I'm a serial Sower. And you just like many of you, many of you just like

only cereal, you eat Froot Loops, and the only sowing you do is to close but what I want to give you an invitation to is to become somebody who's a serial Sower. God blesses me. The automatic reaction is to so when God blessed me with the platform on social media that he gave me, I automatically started sowing my platform into people who did not have that platform. The first book I ever put out, relationship goals. The day my book come out came out. God said, What You about to post about my book? He said, No, no, you're a serial seller. Find somebody else's book that comes out today. And post about that first. And there's another pastor in North Carolina named pastor Darren Derwin Gray, who also pastors a church called transformation church, and he had a book coming out the same day. How ironic.

And if you go back my first post on my first book was not about what God had given me. It was to say Blow into somebody else. How did crazy faith become a New York Times bestseller? No body barely ever in book world what they tell me gets two consecutive New York Times bestsellers. Nobody can convince me. I didn't write a better book

is good. But it ain't because it's better. It's because when I had the opportunity on the first one, I everybody say sold. And all this is the harvest right this point down consecutive sowing, produces consecutive harvest. I need everybody to see me. The reason I'm a serial sower is because when I keep doing it, it keeps popping up. Most of us saw a seed and wait for the harvest to then take another seed off of that harvest. And so again, so seed time harvest is sensitive.

Sensitive. Is that a harvest? Okay, great. Okay.

I should so again

see, let's just talk

is that a harvest? Wow.

30 years. Three times selling 30 years. And you sold three times.

3030 years, and you still live in off the seed. You sold that one time at that one.

A serial sower

will go borrow seed.

You got some see. Let me God bless you. Boop

boop. See, I'm not getting like this.

Can you put some soil on this platform for me? Can you turn this whole thing into the life that we're living? Just start just pour it on? They need to get this and can you hand me the seeds? Yeah, just start pouring it on the ground. Yeah, just get it all over. Come on. Y'all gotta pour like you mean it come on. Kitsy this is where I work. And this is where I live and this is where my marriage is. And this is where my kids will be raised. And this is the soil of my life. And God brought me here with all of these seats

and all of these seeds look good in this bucket. The aesthetic is beautiful.

Matter of fact I think this is not far who

eaten see and some of y'all will sit here all your life yeah

back in Louisiana, where I'm from you just ate the full rest of your faith. Was it good? Was wasn't enough? How long? Were you satisfied? I would have to eat so many seeds to actually be full. Where if I sold the seeds

and gave it some time. It could turn into something with more seeds in it. But enough substance for me to actually be full. A serious sower looks at their marriage and says I don't just so on our honeymoon. Let me stop let me let me help you. I'll get the full visual. See because none of y'all have ever farm Neither have I. But I studied this week. The thing that I found out is that farmers have a different type of clothing. They know that sewing can get dirty. They know that for them. Sewing may require them to have to be around something and in something that could leave a stain so what I'm doing is I'm getting the right clothes on to be able to do this and I'm gonna have faith and you know, I just had to take it to the next level.

Some of y'all should stop posting. what you look like, this is a nice look, I kinda like this right here

I know what you see on the ground, but to God, this is what I look like. He knows he can trust me. Because I got faith like the farmer. When God gave me 300 People when God gave me a little bit of money, when he gave me a little bit of influence, I didn't eat it. I didn't negate it. I didn't act like it was nothing I said, All I have is all I need. And I just started

whatever I'm a serial Sower, you'd be like hey, it's nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I'm sowing seeds every I don't just so in me and Natalie's marriage when we got married but every Monday night on date night What am I doing I'm planting seeds grow you know, I love you when you look good. And grow your booty getting tight and I'm just telling you what am I doing that's why your marriage is dead you ain't planted there in 20 years but what I'm telling you is that when you become a serial sower I saw accident can I say it like this? I'm addicted to sewing if you get around me too long you don't get something from me. Why? Cuz you're in my field. And if you get anywhere near my field, the seeds that's coming off me this is what it looks like the seeds coming off me

all I have to do is fall on good ground this is why you shouldn't give your leaders hail at your job your boss all this is why you should be good Graham. Because if your heart is hard when they asked you to do something, it doesn't go deep.

And even if they do things a different way and you don't like what they do and all that keep your heart open

because if you get around the right people and you're good ground partner you're gonna see harvest can I prove it to you in the word Ecclesiastes 11 Six who I liked the Word of God

are you thought I was wasting time? No, no, no, no, no, no no I'm a serial Sower.

Cordell every time we get into Carter reason I'm just talking and sharing stuff. Because I'm trying to drop something in your heart. That a build the billion dollar business. I'm gonna see I'm uh, it may be 30 years from now Cordell before we walk in up to that building and paying for another Church's $35 million y'all so

Dale, we go and buy somebody else's building with no strings attached. Y'all don't hear me run the tape back because it's gonna happen. I'm a serial Sower. This thing is about to go. Past the Pearson didn't know.

When he was singing those songs all the songs I sang today was sewn sewn into my heart. When I was a baby sleep on the pews while my mom was leading prayer, he was throwing out seat. Nobody knew I'd be Mike Todd safeguard and all the faithful people who've been serial sewers just been throwing it out.

Why would I keep throwing it out? On this platform right now. There's no harvest. Like we're shouting, but this is pretty depression day after day to come out here and it'd be like all right.

I sold it. Great stolen. This is why you go to the Word of God Ecclesiastes 11 Six. Oh, I love the Bible. So you're safe

in the morning

Every day I woke up

every day I wake up, what am I do? See, when you go to your job, stop looking at what you can take. Well, I need a promotion. And I need to get recognized. Have you sown anything there? Stop looking for a harvest WHERE ARE YOU HAVE NEVER sown no farmer goes out to pasture. And systems like this looking for the harvest. And somebody wants vines like what kind of harvest you're looking for? Looking for wheat? What did you sell wheat? Nope, sold corn. But I'm believing for wheat.

Why would you?

Like see that whatever.

That whatever you sow comes back to you includes bad things.

Why do all your friends gossip? Because it's harvest time. I mean, somebody's business. Why does everybody leave you? When, when they said they would be there for you?

If you sold

whatever I say whatever. This is why the Bible tells us if you're gonna sell something, so good things. Like if you did it, okay, either don't sell or are so something good. Because it's coming back. And that's why Ecclesiastes 11 Six is, so your seed in the morning and an evening, let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which seed will succeed. Whether it's this one, or that one, or whether both will do equally well. God's saying become addicted to sowing. Because at the end of the day, nobody knows which seed is about to produce fruit. So I keep throwing it out. So God has more to work with.

I keep giving to those people. I keep serving in that area. I keep going back to those family members who don't appreciate what I do for them every holiday season. Because at one point at some moment, there is going to be I remember what it

is saying. So time why Laurie?

Thank you, Proverbs 1124 I gotta in this because some of y'all too full. And some of y'all too frustrated because the truth of the matter is your life is not God's fault at this moment. You keep blaming him for not doing what he said. And he's holding you responsible for not sowing what you said. God if you ever get me out of this situation I'll and you never did. You never sold those seeds. It didn't make fiscal sense. It wasn't a part of my five year plan. It didn't make sense. I was at the top and you're gonna tell me to leave this high paying job to go start over and all that devil is all lie and you rolling your neck and I wasn't the devil that was divine. But now, you're going to pray for seeds to flourish in a dead field. I'm in your business. And the truth of the matter is the church is who's supposed to exemplify this. And we have the least amount of harvest. We always begging people could you believe it? I mean if you know if God oh my God, God has done a miracle you gave us 800 out what the hell I'm sorry I am so sick of the church being the place who needs the handout? We have the God of the universe on our side. He gets a bad rap because we don't work the principles. I'm gonna say it again. We give God a bad rap because we do not work the principal if he says See, so time work harvest and you sitting up here waiting for somebody to bless you. I'm just waiting for God to bless me. He said waiting for me to bless you I did with Sade

now so it

somebody say I have seen the enemies have tried to convince so many of you you didn't have seen he tried to tell you didn't have secret. But you sit in there with so much sci fi you're sitting there with so much seed Keighley you got so much seed that you got so much seed now God's asking you to do what so proverbs 1124 25 give freely start getting creative in your song

Why is there a limit? The Bible didn't give us a limit to how we saw

he's literally telling us right here, give freely. So creatively walk into every store. Some of y'all need to walk into places and so encouragement you so so much judgment and so much that I didn't like the way she sang this song. I don't like that and look at her outfit. And did you see that the mic up there and some shorts. I'm skinnier than I was I'm doing stuff that

I'm just wearing. I may look back at this and be like that was a bad idea. But when I put it on, I said, Boy, you're not good.

But did you show encouragement today? Creatively so and become more wealthy. This deal, you'll see the Bible, give freely and become more wealthy, be stingy with your seed and not not reap a harvest. Watch what the Bible says be stingy and lose everything. Hold on just this confirm the parable of the seed in the sewers where God literally gave 1112 and one five. And somebody got scared of the seed God gave him and said I'm gonna protect this one seed. Oh, don't give me one Hey, what y'all doing? work in the field? Doing what God gave us what you're doing.

Just protecting my See, I don't want anybody to misunderstand me. I don't want anybody to get uncomfortable by what God's placed in me. So

let me just protect my see you doing okay. See? Okay, cool. And then Jesus comes back and wants to see the accounts of what you did. But what he gave you all of it was grace. He gave everybody a measure of grace gave everybody seed. Then the one with five he said I doubled it. I made it 10 I planted seed. So time work. What's the last thing harvest? I multiplied it. The one with two. He doubled it. We did for the 111 Listen to me, God. I knew that that one thing you gave me needed to keep it safe. Keep it secure, keep myself safe and secure. Be open to no criticism, really be at a place where everybody was just happy with what was going on. Didn't take up any more space than what you started me with. Can't really feed anybody, but I still got this See, God said You wicked and perverse. Man. You could have done something with it. You are lazy and scary. And look what he does to the man. He takes his one seed and gives it to the one with 10. And this word a church gets mad. Are you gonna take from them and bless them with it. They're bad farmers. And God wants a return on the investment. So he looks at who's using the seat. And he looks at who's not using the seat. And he goes back and says, Come here, and he'll give it to somebody else. Like this with this says, give freely and become a wealthy, be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper. And then this messes me up. Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. The blessing of God that has come over my life when I decided to have faith like a farm, y'all I can't explain it. Money comes looking for me. connections come looking for me. Y'all know cat. I'm not out here looking for nothing. People send all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with what I'm doing today. It was seeds I sold in different seasons that are short. They're chasing me down to give me the fruit of my faith.

It's a principle of the earth. If you plant it, it's coming back. But it takes one see then what so then what time then what work then what? Harm

so what do you say and pass the mic? Everybody right now take your hand and just clench it in front of you. And I don't know what this represents for you but it's something you already have. You're holding your harvest right now I'm holding my harvest you'll never see it if I don't let it go but this is the forest of my faith. This is my family being healed delivered and set free this is me walking in confidence no insecurity blessing other but it's not until I take what I have right now. And so it do not end 2021 holding your harvest so it you want to own a business one day go serve somebody else's business don't ask for the money because you were being manipulated and at that point because you knew God told you to go do it, too so it won't be a burden. Just go do it go to that ministry nobody wants to work in and say I'm gonna give the next year of my life to this so it you may be sewing for your kids kids somebody says so it Okay, um Holy Spirit Okay, um

um dang got a messed up my shoes okay this

I didn't plan for today. The mess up the shoes. Didn't plan for it. In the idea of this whole analogy, for some reason, no dirt on my shoes. And I literally just that's a real moment. I just realized I ruined my shoes. But one of the things I've just thought about is that I'm no longer attached to material things. No, no, no, hold on, hold on. Hold on. No, no, no, no, no. At one point in my life. This would have been devastating. But the crazy thing about this is, is John in here, I think he's over it, he's in the back. I gave these exact shoes away, nine years ago. And the blessing. Now anybody who's not a Hypebeast, or anybody that knows shoes or anything, these are pretty cool shoes. Okay. I gave the shoes away in a season, I couldn't afford to. I was stunting as the children would say. I was trying to give off an image that was higher than what I was actually living. So I bought the shoes, stunning. And the Holy Spirit said, give them to that young person right there, took the shoes off gave them to him. Realizing today that I'm in the shoes again. I sold them over there. They came back. But this time, I didn't pay for these shoes.

Somebody else

gave me the shoes. And I already had it made up in my mind. Because they hurt feet just a little bit on the on the side, I got sick got a 1312 and a half. Y'all know some of y'all be your feet is crippled because you're wearing shoes that's too small. already made up in my mind. I was supposed to give these shoes away. When I just stood on the stage, I'm having a real time realization right now. I'm showing you how it's happening. When I stood up on this stage, and just sat down and was looking at my notes, and they looked at my shoes and realized they were ruined. At that moment, I realized God didn't change the instruction that I had to give the shoes away. It just meant I now had to sew another seed to get a new pair to give them away. My plan was to give away from the harvest, to give away from what somebody blessed me with so it wasn't as you know, I'm saying if you bless me, and God just required another seed.

As quick as I thought I had a way to get out of feeling the sacrifice. At the moment that I saw that God said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this life with me, is going to require you to always so another see somebody say so another seed.

So if you're going to sow a seed, you need to know these three things, and we gotta get out of here, okay, you're going to sow a seed, you need to know that something's not first. Surrender is Okay, so let me come to your finances real quick, because because this is where the body of Christ really gets jacked up, okay. And people want to talk about prosperity gospel and this and that. And I won't believe in none of that. We believe in the principles of God. Here's a principle. When you surrender, you tithe you return according to Malikai 10% of all of your income. Everybody put your hands up like this. Say I surrender. That's how typing feels. Shoot I'm gonna give you back what you gave me. I wouldn't had his job. I wouldn't have this. I wouldn't have. I'm going to return. You can't give a tie. You have to return it. Because that proves that I didn't give myself this. God gave it to me. And some of y'all we're counting your money right now. You. You're so planned for Christmas. And so planned for Thanksgiving, and you're robbing God of the opportunity to bless you see people like you robbing God, none of that God only nothing from you. You're robbing him of the opportunity to bless you because he only rewards his kids who obey. And I'm telling you the first level of doing this is surrender. Some of y'all just need to start tithing this week. You need to go to whatever church I didn't say transformation church, whatever church you get fed from whatever place you need to take that to the house of God and you need to return it to God let me prove it to you because some of y'all just got real tight your booty just squinched up right there. Malakar 310 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse. That's the house of God that there may be food in my house. Then try me on this this is the only place in the Bible where God says test me a double dog dare you and you know if somebody double dog dare you it's kind of like you better do it. I double dog dare you to test me in this and see Oh, I love this. If I won't open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there will be no room enough to receive it. And I'll one up you our rebuke and protect you from the devourer. And for your sake, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground. That means I can plant seeds, and it get robbed because I don't have protection. Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field is all these like, faith like a farmer says the Lord of Earth hosts and all nations will call you bliss, for you will be a delight in the land says the Lord of hosts write down this crazy equation, surrender, hands up, equals tie ties equals protection, and Gods pour out. When you tide when you return 10%. That's when God says, Alright, I'll protect it. And I'll open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, there's not room enough to receive. Let me go to the next one. Now after you surrender, you can so I'm giving you the formula, a lot of you think you're sowing when you when you haven't surrendered. And you can only so after you surrender. So you so right, this equation equals offering, which equals multiplication. This is where this comes in. When you so you never saw one seed and get one seed back. When you saw one seed, you get a tree with multiple fruits with multiple seeds. God's favorite math is multiplication. And this is why in Matthew 14, I don't got time to do it. 13 He does the miracle of the multiplication of the fish in the loaves. It was a Long John Silver snack pack. It was five fish and a few loaves and he turned that and fed 50,000 People How did he do that? Is because it was blessed and broken. And then generously given away. It was an offering. And what happens at the time of the offering is multiplication. This is what your life should look like because you are a farmer. Somebody say I'm a farmer. I'm a fine farmer. Somebody just say that right now.

I have faith like a farmer.

But there's one more level to this. One more. You surrender, then you so then this last level, I pray that everybody gets here because this is what I've been the past four years of my life, then you look to sacrifice. Sacrifice equals extravagant offerings. And extravagant offerings produce God's presence and his partnership. Can I prove it to you, Tony, this is the level God's called you to live in. When you sacrifice sacrificial giving hertz my range rover that was the first sacrificial, sacrificial gift God asked me to woo I'm stuttering because I just remember while you're I didn't, I didn't have no money. That was that was everything. That was all my little identity wrapped up in that black on black Range Rover. Stupid this decision I ever made to buy that just drained me so that you could think I look cool. And God said I want it back.

Or whatever. He said, give it to him. He doesn't deserve it.

So but I want you to give something sacrificially. This is not about him. This is about me and you. I sold that Range Rover. And y'all heard me talk earlier about how I drove around a 15 passenger van because the formula

is see, help me. So time,

two and a half years with no car as the pastor of transformation church. Oh, you thought it stopped when you got to platform? I was I was in transition to becoming the pastor. And I was literally asking church members for rides to church. I was walking from my house by executive bar. What's your title? Bree? What's your title chief said that I

don't know see my sister, but she's the Chief of Staff.

Got another car. And I remember rejoicing because she let me use her 30 sonata for Two weeks I think that dirty I you know, I love you Jada. She lit. I remember while I'm getting up shouting to everybody about expecting.

God had left me. The principal was at work in the earth.

See? Order goosebumps. So high work, harvests. You know what

God had the audacity to ask me to do is when I got my next car, he asked me to sort out one tone. I didn't even have it for seven months. Give it away. Now God, I

have a wife and dignity.

I'm a man.

Like you start taking on these cultural. You start trying to act like you're I'm saying and God said I'm countercultural. This is about the kingdom. You want to gain your life knows it.

Gave my second car away. But it was preparing me for the harvest. Somebody came in gave me a car. Then I gave their car away. Two years later, me and my wife saw somebody in need, did it now need somebody to bless me with a car. God said now go buy it and give it to him. Now Lord, I'm fine with giving it to him if you provide it for free. Now if I got it on the hookup, God means you're

Come on, I'm trying to help you. But you want me to show

and then give it and as soon as my heart turn. Somebody gave me the car to give to the other. I am now a serial sower of vehicles. Now don't walk up to me ask me by you via because if God wants me to fight you,

it ain't happening. I'll carry you on my back or hold on you. But if God says so.

It Why are you saying this? Is because I've learned the value of extravagant giving. First Kings chapter three, this is your Bible study for this week. Go study Solomon. Go study Solomon. And watch what Solomon did when everybody else it was customary for them to offer one bowl as a sacrifice in the house of God. Guess how many bulls Solomon sacrificed. 1001 was the regulation 1000 was his sacrifice.

One was the quota. 1000 was his worship.

One was what everybody else offered. But 1000 was what God placed in his heart to offer. And this is what happened after Solomon gave sacrificially. I love the Bible, First Kings, chapter three, verse four. Let's go with verse five. That night, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream. He brought him his presence. And God said what do you want? What do you want? Now for real? What do you want? I've seen this type of crazy faith when the quota was low. And you just came up here with 1000 moves. You kill all the symbols for me. And you gave a sacrifice that took work to do. What you want? This is the only place in the Bible that God ask a human what you want. Tell me, I want to partner with you.

He didn't say what did you need? What do you want?

That level of giving what you want. I'm believing

that God's taking us to a place as a church, that we don't just surrender and give the type. That's the lowest level and I'm proud transformation. You're a tithing church. This is not a message. This is for all the people who are just coming here. I'm giving you a principle. We're not taking offerings. We're not doing anything right now. I just need you to know you type. The truth of the matter is, that's the lowest level. That's the first level. You surrender but then you saw but once you get to the level of sacrifice, God says be my partner. What you want Do you want to build back Black Wall Street in the whole city atolls?

Somebody asked why we buying up all his property. The vision God gave Bishop McIntosh was to reverse the curse. What they did was take businesses land grocery stores community, they burned them to the ground. If the vision was to reverse your I can't talk too much vision to y'all there's too many haters watching right now. But before is said and done and crazier, we buy an up to city job. I'm telling you as soon as I'm standing here in overall week and then we come into yo city, Dotto here me. And then we go into different countries because we are going to see

what God wanted to happen in this city. We see it before we see it. But we saw it before we see it what do you want? I told God as long as I lead this church, if you're still watching you right or die,

I love you.

Can we give it up for transformation nation right now. Give it a for yourself. Now some people logged off that's too long. That's too much. That's all they just missed it. Send it to him again. You can watch a three hour Marvel movie that you paid, you sold into them the reason they can keep making the movies because you sell in and $9 for popcorn but a key to the Kingdom. It took two hours to unpack. But if you get this and you become a serial sower

and you get faith like a farmer.

Your children and their children will look up and be living in the forest of your faith. Bella's kids and Ava's kids and MJS kids and G as kids

are gonna say ma my grandma and my papa believe God like that. You may he built us a house before we were born

I'm talking crazy faith right now.

Hello, he paid for our wedding. And I never met him he left me a Bible with scriptures highlighted in it that would give me the keys to the kingdom

crazy thing want it to start with us? Standing all over the world if you at your house. I just want everybody stand up for one second. We don't offer the presence of God. Seed so y'all gotta help me this the last time see.

So time, work.

God's given all of us see, it's time to sell. Every year since this church has been in existence. We ask God in crazy faith. How are we supposed to stand behind this vision and this word that you're giving us. And every year we give an offering an extravagant offering above our normal tithe and offering and we give it to the house of God for the expansion of what he wants to do. All I want to tell you is the things God showing me right now. A scary it y'all. I can't even share it with people. Because what God is about to do is blow our minds crazier is where we're going to live. But just like those people sold that $80,000 For what the world experience somebody had to so I'm asking transformation nation and transformation church to start praying didn't say giving. Oh, they got to see the word one more time. Second Corinthians 916. After it talks about all the things that we talked about, it says in verse 10. Now let's go back to verse eight. Let's go back to verse seven, y'all gotta get it. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give. This is where the churches mess this up, not reluctantly, or under compulsion. I'm not telling if you want a miracle, come up here, I'm gonna pray for you for everybody that gay $200 That's manipulation. The Bible says don't give reluctantly, or under compulsion. Because God actually wants you to be happy. A cheerful giver, when you've come to this point. So on December 5, we're taking as a family an opportunity to step out in crazy your faith. Whatever we've done up into this point, that might have been crazy, but we're going crazy. And we're going to so whatever God tells us to so I'm standing here with so, so much confidence in the seeds that are planted in us that God is about to do so I don't care if you're in high school. I don't care if you on government assistance God is telling you today. If you make it up in your heart to soul, I'll give seed to the sower.

Is that a scripture? Go ahead and go to verse 10. Of that. So this is all in Ecclesiastes are second Corinthians chapter nine, verse six, look at it. Now he

who supplies seed

to the soul. That means when you've made up in your mind and your heart to soul, then God comes and finds you with seed. It's not, he says, I'll give seed to the sower. And bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed, and it will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. On December 5, I'm just asking for the farmers to show up. Just the farmers. If you don't have faith, like a farmer, if you're a fan, cool, what service I need. This is a call for farmers.

If this is how you're gonna look into spirit, I'm calling you, with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with your family. And I'm asking you to ask God, I'll never give amounts I'll never say because God's gonna speak to you. I want you to pray starting right now. Today is October. What is it 24th This is over a month away there should be no compulsion, and no pressure. And don't don't watch like it like you ain't this is this is just for the farmers. Your visitor here and you don't want to get on with this. Now, the Bible said whoever so this ain't for no close group of people. If this your first time watching is like

this brother. Get up in here.

So you'll see

let's go whoever

somebody shouted me whoever you don't matter. But if you fill

in something they say to Sunday for you.

But I just wanted to pool I want to say like I wanted to put out a call

for those who are going to live in a forest of faith that they're gonna take their seed so it wait the time work it and see the harvest everybody in this room and all over the world. I'm emotional right now. Like I'm literally actually I can feel I can feel generations changing right now. Like I can I can literally feel like poverty breaking off of people's minds right now. I can literally like I'm very sensitive when I'm up here right now. And I can feel people in the tension of their life right now. You're literally sitting in your seat and you know it will take something shifting in your mind to participate, but your future is calling. Generational curses and hybrid is being broken?

Why does your family always just have enough? It's because nobody put on the overalls

and had the faith to farm. And God's saying you can change it. See, the farmer sees the power of the seed. Because when he holds the seed he sees a future for

hands lifted all over this building. Today, God, I pray for the farmers. There's a blessing coming here. To every person who will work the principle of sowing whoever sows sparingly will reap spear. But that mean means whoever sows generously, oh God, we're gonna reap generously. Let us so our time, our talent, our treasurer, our connections, are calling. Let us So Father God, our energy, our effort, God led us so we all have seed. God, I thank you that even right now, what you're calling transformation, church and transformation nation to come together and do. God I thank you that it's going to change the trajectory of the world. Because we don't have crazy your faith. On December 5, we are going to bring sacrificial offerings to this house, sin them Father God, some of us are going to bring them in person, God and we are going to sacrifice so that we can see a harvest of souls. God we thank you for the blessing. I come against doubt. I come against confusion. I come against even right now Father fear. And I thank you that you are the God that gives seed to the sower right now if you desire to so i want you to say this out loud God. I am here to soak. Bring me the seeds. Say it one more time God, I'm here to so show me the seed. Just one more god.

I'm here to so

I am the seed if you just made that decision, you can sing the song. You can say

ah Oh, amen. Ah, it means so be it. Let it be so, if you already said that in your heart, it's done.

Heaven is agreeing with your decision. Can you just lift that up one more time right now

somebody say

Showbie Lord, have your way God. I agree with you. God I said amen. Amen. Amen.

It's happening all over the world. If you've never given your life to Christ, I want to give you an opportunity to receive what somebody else sowed for, can I explain to you when God saw that we were going to be disconnected from each other. He sent Jesus as a seed.

Oh, this thing is preaching. And he sold him. See, the thing about a seed is it can never produce until it's broken. And Jesus came here and did nothing wrong and all of his divinity and died in humanity and stretched out his arm and died as a seed for all the other children of God. And today you're the harvest of the sea god sold. And all you have to do is accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. It's the thing that took me from being a liar, a manipulator addicted to pornography, all kinds of bad things in my heart that nobody knew except me. And when I gave my life to Christ, when I laid it all down when I planted myself in him He said, I'm gonna make you into something that can change other people's life. I didn't become a perfect man, but I became a progressing man. And today people are eating off the fruit of what Jesus sewed into my life. And today, there's so much more for you. If you would give over control on the count of three, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I don't care what you did last night, I don't care who you were with last night. I don't care what you're planning tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation and I need church. I need the church to start praying right now. Because there is a tension that is trying to draw people back to things that were never meant to help them and God through His love, not his wrath, not his anger, but through his love is drawing you to Him. The Holy Spirit is whispering I feel the presence of God right now. And he's saying Come to me, I don't care how much money you make. I don't care how far you've been. I don't care what you did.

I love you.

I want a relationship with you. Today, I want you to give your life to Christ. One you're making the greatest decision of your life. To I'm proud of you but that doesn't matter. Your name will be written in the Lamb's book of life. You're secure for eternity. Three, if you want to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior, lift your hand up. Come on, I see your hand right there. Come on, let's

give God praise right there. There's hands going up all over the world. So proud of you.

Want to give your life back to Christ. This is the moment and we're going to just say this quick prayer according to Romans 10. Nine. And I'm telling you, it changes everything. Tomorrow's not going to be perfect, but I promise you will progress. Now transformation church, this is a family. And nobody prays alone here. So we're gonna say this prayer together for the benefit of those who are coming to Christ. Come on, just say God. Thank you for sending Jesus as a seed for me. Today, I give you my life. I believe you lived. You died. And you rose again. Just for me. Today. I surrender.

Change changed me. Renew me. transform me. And yours. In Jesus name. Amen. Can we give God Oh, y'all better help me. Y'all gotta do better than that there are people all over the world that are giving their life to Christ.

So proud of you. You just made that decision. Can I tell you over 32,000 people have made that decision this year alone? Oh, y'all. See, I might have to do another week on farming. Because y'all know when the Bible says that the field is actually the whites, it's harvest time. But the workers are the laborers are few ain't enough farmers. But today,

I feel like there's about 10,000 farmers with faith. I said, I feel like there's about 10,000 at least.

And what could happen if we became serial sewers crazy faith offering December 5. What I want you to do is I don't want you to put an identity to what you're believing God for. We do this every year. So if you're new at our church you like what are they doing? You can go back every year and see the miracle signs and wonders that are attached to us writing down what we're believing God for some of y'all in the room are here because of what you wrote on your crazy faith card. Some people are here, y'all don't even hear me right now. If you're watching online, which most everybody is on our social media that you can download on the website, the crazy fake cards are gonna be there. Some of y'all gonna download 10 of them. 20 of them 30 of you are gonna start writing down and I want you to post those, I want you to tag TC, I want you to tag me for the next eight weeks.
