joined new life we were just coming out of the tab going over to the uic okay the form okay i was just going over to the forum i i was sitting i was sitting in on the left-hand side at one of the services pastor hannah was preaching the message series on who wants to be a millionaire that's a phenomenal memory you remember that though i remember because that night he said we have millionaires in this church and they're in c form and to god be the glory yes come on now we don't we lie i don't put out my business out there but look i remember that day and it wasn't the fact that he was preaching about money yeah he was preaching about everything that it would take to become a man he's talking about character integrity he's talking about purpose he was talking about relationship with god and in that moment i was so drawn in i didn't want to leave yeah from that to this day forward my wife goes to this church my daughter goes to this church yeah and my son whole family yes congratulations by the way so how many years has it been so far i'm 30. that was about 19. how many years is that that's about 11. you don't have me i know y'all don't embarrass me on this camera a long time if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure it's 11. a long time but it's been a pleasure what about you how long you been in new life yeah uh i joined in 2013. but see i attended new life for a year before i actually joined and uh we had this conversation earlier y'all solo is lokia minnesota okay we had this conversation earlier i hadn't i didn't grow up in church so new life was like my first experience actually joining a church um which was phenomenal i actually heard pastor hannah so i visited some churches growing up and as a teen and i heard him preach when i was 18 years old and it was actually the first time i had laughed in church okay and i thought i did something wrong i didn't know that never happened to me before and then fast forward to me graduating from college a friend invited me to church it was a 7 30 service too i don't know where i got that energy from in my early 20s but i'm getting up at 7 30 i was at the 1 30 and it was um it was at the tab and it was so crowded that i couldn't even see but i heard his voice and i was like and i immediately knew that that was the man that i heard preached when i was 18. so uh at this point long story short what are we in 2021 so i guess it's been like almost 10 years wow yeah that's crazy one thing i love about the church when you join the church you just end up joining the building you're joining the mission you're joining the purpose you join the passion of god something that he wants to do on the earth and he chose you to be a part of it you didn't just end up at new life you were called to new life

look what do you enjoy the most about pastor hannah i'm talking i'm not just talking about just preaching yeah i'm talking about this humor that man is funny we already know yes i i am a weeping worshiper okay but i can be crying and then instantly laugh and i love that about him it's just so much he has an energy too like that is just he's just a ball of energy and he's hilarious and very truthful he's very truthful i love it one thing i love about pastor hannah especially as a young man is it's really just being confident in yourself pastor anna said one thing one time and he said he had to find his vein basically he couldn't be anybody else yeah he had to truly just be himself yeah that's what his place of power was after his spirit that man be speaking in tongues and come out and start laughing and go right back to it but it's amazing because it's so authentic and that's the only way you can reach hearts and minds is through authenticity and that's one thing i love about pastor yeah you can just he has such a light about him too like all the humor and stuff that's great but like he just i don't know he just feel like comfortable you know what i mean like you around him you feel that energy from him you feel that love from him all the time all the time it's not just in the building and you don't write and that's the thing too you don't even have to have a personal relationship with him right just in the space he just exudes all of that positivity that's it now we now we can talk all day about pastor hannah yeah but we can't talk we can't spend the night talking about pastor hannah and without talking about that dr glenn the edge snatcher is what i like the caller the man he's such a he's such a creative genius his depth of thought and creativity the man it's like god took him 30 years from now and placed him in today and charged him with taking us there with him yeah for sure concept of ideas that he come up with it's just amazing i'm mind boggling look um that's why i love the visionary the creativity that's in him he's so disruptive his mind is just phenomenal to me the way that he thinks the way that he articulates a message and just like really like it checks me i leave after hearing him or even reading one of his books like okay what i'm about to do right now like i feel charged mind-boggling yeah she was like just just mind-boggling i'm talking about the way the way he not just a message but just a thought he can say literally three words a sentence that had you stuck for the whole day yeah right yeah talking about let's talk about manhood right i'm a young man i have a family i have a wife he said a man is one who can create and sustain an idea that right there just stuck with me i had nothing else for the whole that was it for you huh right there basically a man doesn't quit man doesn't give up a man goes through the daunting task of creation that means keep coming back figuring out what else am i missing what am i doing all of these different things came out of that one thought man that guy he's he's on another level can we talk about pastor glenn though and not mention the gospel musical artist that he is oh man because i love the songs that come out of him too hip hop gospel i know look we're still waiting for that ep we're still waiting i'm reclaiming my time i love it i love it so much also with our passes what i love about them too they're so multifaceted right they all they both have books they're uh businessmen business they look just all of the things god is about business our god it's about business yeah okay speaking of god in the business of business i have a question for you so pasta hannah mentioned um or talked about uh building this temple and how it took seven years um and you know it's a whole birthing process that it took for it being feast time and harvest we just mentioned this before we went live um you're a businessman so explain to the birthing process of having the vision plant in the seed waiting that time and then experiencing the harvest well one thing i learned about business and time and waiting is time is not set into place to establish the promise it's to establish the parishioner it's to establish me y'all look y'all hit us god god did not put time into place to establish what he already declared what happened over my life he just had to prepare me for it yeah if i'm hardheaded it'll take a little time yeah so i'm grateful for the time that i have to go through because i learned so much i became a man who can run the business see god recreated the business but he had to now allow the business and the process to create the man yeah and so i love time it's a whole birthing process the funny thing about seven years you know we all know seven is the divine number of completion yes that god allowed it to take seven years faster come on come on we got some video bombers come on we can't say photo bombers they video bombers oh look look at the suit you see this energy [Music] but seven years we are now here today all the stuff that you want to do what are you thinking right now god is amazing like he has

one who created every living thing father and things that we don't even understand to this day the god of the universe the cosmos the godfather god that knows the hairs that are on our head today god we're asking you in this moment of dedication to allow there to be a whale of creativity that would flow from this place unto the entire world god we are asking that the anointing that goes back generations for people to be able to make something out of nothing would well up in this place and father god there would be a creative anointing that would come for for theatrics that would come for television that would come for business ideas that would come for real estate that would come father for fashion that would come from music that would come father god from every mountain that is in the earth today that creativity would rise from this place god we declare and we decree everything that would block the ideas of heaven from opening in this place you are now evicted and eradicated we declare and we believe there will be divine collaborations there will be divine ideas and father god there will be divine wealth that flows out of this place we thank you not for a one generational anointing we thank you that this will go down from generation to generation that this will be a multi-generational gathering place it will be a temple that will be able to house all of the arts and today we declare and we decree when accolades come when awards come when grants come father we will step back and we will give you all the glory let this be a place of new life thank you father god

[Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hello my name is anna marie hannah and i am the wife of pastor john fitzgerald hannah what was it like watching my husband build something so meaningful to him i would recommend it to a new parent waiting for the birth of their first child like you're excited but then like towards the end you're like okay hurry up already i will reckon it to that of anticipation and i think at the beginning it's almost like he i think he probably may have felt that it was going to be a lot easier than it was and it's like a parent like i said a parent waiting for their child to be born the closer you get to the delivery day you know you start having these little hiccups happen so i would recommend it to that i had a lot of prayers for the temple but one of the prayers was that god would hurry up and let it be built because i saw the anguish that it was causing my husband and i know that no spouse ever wants to watch their spouse go through these you know peaks in these valleys and for me it was i went through different phases where i was like okay god provide the money the finances for the temple to god please don't let it be so hard for him while the temple is being built and lastly i pray that god will really bless the temple how does it feel now to be in the temple it's kind of like seeing something come to pass but you've gone through so much labor with it that you feel like you can just sit back and just kind of breathe and catch your breath so that's what it feels like being in the temple right now and praying that what you know is going to happen happens that the glory of god would just another level will come forth in this ministry it's really not the temple but it's in the ministry of new life it's not the building the soul and the purpose of new life to me has always been birthing new souls to disciple souls and to allow the men and women and the children that come through new life to be everything that god has called them to be anybody ready to give god the glory in the room hallelujah we are so glad that we serve the king of kings and we declare that he's in the room you're invited to join in and worship with us come on

to speak these words over this house because for 18 years almost god has been consistent in saving someone every service every sunday [Applause] so i just pray that god's consistency will continue over this house not only in salvation but when people come in that he would con be consistent in restoration that he would be consistent in transforming minds that need to be regulated that he would heal the sick and the lame and that there would be miracle signs and wonders in this house that god would just pour his spirit that people would be baptized with the holy ghost and have the evidence in speaking in tongues [Applause] i prayed that god would bring back relationships that were torn that he would bring back families that have been separated [Applause] i just pray that god will just continue to bless you and to keep you and i pray most of all that god will continue to do the work that he's called this ministry to do and i pray that god will just continue to encourage your heart to pour his love and to pour his revelation into you and to keep you and your relationship together that nothing will come between you two [Music] in jesus name amen [Applause] everyone lift your hands and worship down for 10 seconds you can't be under this roof and the oil not get on you just for 10 seconds he's consistent he's consistent [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he's consistent

southeast family for the grand opening of the new temple located in greater grand crossing neighborhood a lot of hard work dedication and sacrifice went into making this beautiful state-of-the-art facility which will also serve as a performance art center making it an important community extension that not only brings spiritual guidance but much needed resources economic investment and community leadership a new life covenant's commitment to community partnership will play a major role in helping this neighborhood reach new heights of success and togetherness as well as assist in redirecting the futures of its residents especially those that are young in a positive way these shared goals and principles are also important to me personally and have the potential to build stronger connections between our communities i commend pastor hannah and the whole new life family for going out of their way to generate positive change within the neighborhoods they serve this

about to prove himself to be god when we started buying the land i was coming to 4am praying the lord said to me he said this to me the earth will yield what belongs to you from that point we started buying every vacant house every vacant lot to the point that people start knocking on the church door saying do you want to buy my house nothing will be able to stop the promise of god from being fulfilled in your life you have to hear me some of you are a 27 seat you sow it if you don't have the 27 you get the best seed you can in your hand but if you believe that he is able you sow into it

to come into this room tonight and i don't know what you've been going through and what's been happening but tonight pastor hannah has already said you're standing in the belly of a miracle and anytime god brings you to a place where he's already broken through something it's to give you the feeling so that you can go back to your home and break through something else now there are some fake people on this side and some bougie people on this side but there are some people in here that need to break through something it might be in your family uh-oh it might be in your mind it might be in your finances but faith is praising god in advance for what he's going to do down the road so i'm going to give you 15 seconds to tell god with your voice to tell god with your shout to tell god with your hands how much you believe let's give god a shout of prayer [Applause] we will worship you god there's nobody like jehovah there's nobody like our god yikes [Music] something stirring in the

glory this is only my second time in chicago and i love it and um it's god that i'm here um it was funny how this whole thing happened pastor hannah was on the phone with one of my friends pastor joel tudman and while we were on the phone he facetimed him and joel was sitting there i don't know if joe's a drug dealer or something because he had two phones and i'm my first meeting with pastor hannah is through facetime on another phone facetiming and joel's holding two phones and pastor hannah is on his couch somewhere and he said pastor michael god only told me three people that was supposed to speak at this and you're the only one i couldn't get in contact with and at that moment the holy spirit said michael you have a deposit that you have to go give to this church and to chicago i i say that to say when god tells me to go somewhere it don't matter what happens to try to make me stay tonight it was destiny that i'd be here and to be the first person speaking at this amazing celebration today i want to honor the faith of pastor john and anna hannah can we give god pray y'all y'all better not sit in them seats and act like they did not pioneer for seven years to get us to this moment we honor you and we thank god for you and to the glenns can we thank god [Applause] when my sister yelled earlier my right toe curled up thank you for your faith to all of the pastors and all the friends and jaylen carr is that normal we love you and thank you for being a sound of two generations in one she carries in her a 68 year old i mean does hair with grease like cooked chicken and and then still can relate to a generation and i thank god publicly for your ministry and what you do is anybody ready for the word tonight all right y'all sit down all right so um i feel underdressed came in the room everybody in suit and ties i'm in a wife beater and a jacket and nobody told me that um we'd be coming in right to the camera for the ribbon cutting and so since i'm already out here i'm gonna do what i would do at home is that okay i'mma act like this is transformation church transformation nation i know you in the building i love you whoa i didn't know chicago was okay i love y'all um i love yeah i love you too i didn't understand you said but i love you um tonight i feel like i have an assignment from god the reason i'm moving like this is because i know what the spirit's about to do and some of you um came to be entertained that's not happening tonight tonight i'm coming to deposit it's already happened in my life so if you don't catch this i'm cool i'm going home to the results of what i'm about to talk to you about [Applause] we shouting it's my winning season but it's been my winning season because i found out there was some things that god has made available for all of us that many of us leave on the table and so tonight i'm going to try to practically and very intentionally walk you through um a revelation that god has given me that can unlock everybody say unlock everything that has to do with your purpose and destiny um last tuesday um i wrote and um released a book called crazy faith this book right here and if you have not gotten this book i would encourage you she got her book right there i love you um i'm not saying this um to sell books i'm saying this because um i feel real vulnerable right now because you know when you do stuff at your house that you okay doing when nobody else is around and you feel cool cause you know you and you do you when you around you y'all don't know what i'm talking about but then when somebody else comes and judges what you do it feels a little vulnerable well god told me michael i want you to start writing down and sharing the principles that i've given you to walk in faith and i said god some of the stuff i do is a little crazy regular black people don't do this type of stuff why would you want me to share he said because i wrote in my love letter that when the son of man returns he asks for one thing will i find faith not big churches not not not movies not music not out will i find shout it out me faith and the sad truth is god can come into his house and not find the substance you wear the medallion no faith honk if you love jesus stickers no faith shout no faith and today i want to shoot an adrenaline shot of faith into your spirit this place that you stand in and sit in today was built by everybody shouted at me faith and my question is what has built your life many of you it's been logic fear anxiety connections networking but that doesn't give god glory the bible says the just shall live by there's a theme here and today i want to unlock your faith in a brand new way some of y'all are looking at me like who is this boy up on that stage never heard of him my cousins know him but so what i see you auntie jean let me tell you a little bit of my crazy faith story me and my wife um natalie we pastor a church in tulsa oklahoma um called transformation church we took over this church um we took over this church six years ago almost from a man and a woman who went to north tulsa at the site of the greenwood race riots the race massacre is what it really was and right there on greenwood and archer this man of god who happened to be white god told him take off your shoes and i want you to dedicate do something crazy take off your shoes and i want you to dedicate your life to reversing the curse that people that look like you brought to this area and i would be remissed if i don't take this moment my founding pastor is in the building right now bishop gary mcintosh would you stand y'all wouldn't know mike todd if it wasn't for bishop gary mcintosh can we give god some praise i love you sir [Applause] this man moved to north tulsa brought his whole family to north tulsa all his white friends was like gary what sheesh black people don't say geesh white people do and dedicated 16 years of his life to building a church named greenwood christian center i came to that church as a sound man shout out to the sound man nobody shouts out the sound man until it goes wrong they're like fire him get him out of here more very merry verb started out as the sound man just served in that church february 1st 2015 after i went from being the youth pastor the executive pastor 27 years old this man lost his mind and handed me the baton and the keys and the checkbook to the church i said what what we about to do he said god's hand is on your life and this may sound crazy to everybody else but god's gonna use you to touch the entire world i was like if you say so we take over the church 37 days after i become the lead pastor of transformation church i'm in my quiet time praying to god and i start writing down crazy things on this piece of paper i brought i brought it so i could prove it to you the first thing says transformation church this is going to be transformation church and i spelled transformation wrong i spelled transformation and i left it on here just like this to encourage somebody that god just need does not need a perfect version of you to be able to reach the purpose that he has on your life he'll do it with the rough edges i don't know who this is for he'll do it with your learning disability he'll do it [Applause] and the first thing it said is the spirit bank event center will be transformation church i wrote this down with less than 300 people in our church no money in the bank people judging every sunday if they were coming back because there's no way that this young man could lead me and my family and i wrote this down in the presence of god march 9th 2015 7 29 a.m in bella's room i had the audacity to mark it down long stop check long story short five years later a building that the city built for 54 million dollars they sold it to us for 10.5 million dollars and we paid it off in cash in six months i don't even have to have nobody to shout with me that's crazy i'm 31 years old going into the side of the city that they said we don't want you here boy and i bought the biggest piece of property in the entire city i'm trying to tell somebody caitlin you said bigger right somebody needs to know what you've been thinking what you've been dreaming god says bigger [Applause] so i thought it was it we shouted we danced we gave god glory and as i was driving up to this building one day the holy spirit told me something pastor hannah that i came to tell you don't take your foot off the gas man of god i'm prophesying to you this was the thing to bust it open this wasn't the finish line this was the thing to let everybody in chicago know that there is a new sheriff in town and his name is jesus and if god before you somebody shout at me who say who man of god don't take your foot off the gas i was going to the place of blessing and god said would you believe me to do something bigger than what you thought i just did say god you know what i'm saying i'm okay it's good what you did already that took a lot of faith lord [Laughter] but i said god there's something in me that thinks you can do more he said yeah this whole development in front of the church i want you to own it now you say pastor mike what's the development in front of the church it's a business complex called the post rock um business complex 35 commercial businesses everything from state farm to chiropractic office to eyeglass places even the land that chick-fil-a sits on and you know that's holy ground [Applause] this whole thing was one complex and god said will you believe me for it one year after we bought the whole arena i got the keys to all seven of the buildings and we bought the entire 12 months later if god did 12 months later there pastor hannah get ready for what god's gonna do a year from now you better believe that god can do more in 12 months oh my gosh [Applause] [Music] i just came to testify today [Applause] we bought that for 20.5 million dollars but he wears jordans but i serve god [Applause] but he has only six months of tulsa community college education but the holy spirit is the one who knows everything he will tell me what to do show me where to go give me the wisdom that i don't have on my own so in the middle of the pandemic pastor hannah we bought the whole block the whole thing middle pandemic bought the whole block now this is the point where people start hating i know i feel your spirit right in this section right here right here ah yeah yeah yeah this is the moment people start hating because now you're trying to figure out why i deserved it you're trying to figure out like what who when and none of those things were the qualification for the reason why god allowed us to walk in this level a favor it's one word i believed now i know i know i know we say we believe but then when god asks us to do something in faith we don't move on it so last week everybody say last week i thought god was done i mean this is three years in a row where 2019 we buy the whole arena 2020 we buy the whole block we were looking for a space to build the entire children's ministry because our children will have state of the art everything even before the adults get it because the next generation is already being desensitized every day from ipads and social media and tick tock and we want to throw them a coloring sheet i'm talking to somebody right now and and we got to do it for the next generation at a whole nother level so we started looking to be able to find space and what they told us pastor hannah is we didn't have enough space in the current building 192 000 square feet to be able to do the children's area that we needed to do as well as office there so i sent the team out while i was on break this summer to look for offices and i was resting i was on sabbatical we just had a new baby i was resting and june 19th on june 10th holy spirit woke me up and said michael i want you to do something specific today you're about to do a city wide service and this is the hundredth year of the race massacre that happened in tulsa i want you to pull the resources together of the church and i want you to give one million dollars away to the three survivors that are still living and to businesses and non-profits that are building up the black community in tulsa oklahoma and we did it we drove people flew people gave a million dollars away as i was going away from there the holy spirit said that was the seed for what i'm about to do okay that's a sunday pastor jerome three days later i get a call from my security and he says are you going to this meeting i said scott you know i'm not going to the meeting i'm on vacation he said oh okay never mind i said but what meeting he said something's happening i said tell me where to be he sent me a pen there was a building in our city 197 000 square feet looked like something that tony stark built for the avengers to be able to have board meetings 30 acres right on the highway built by a oil company six years ago from 64 million dollars the oil company went belly up they built it for us [Applause] tracy you got to see this thing i walked into this building it overlooks the entire city we were looking to rent at least three floors and in the middle of the negotiation to lease it the owner came back and said we don't want to lease it to y'all no more we said what is it because we're black and he said no we need to sell it so what do you mean we need to sell it for half of what we paid for it six years ago and we haven't put it on the market yet but we felt like we were supposed to ask y'all as i was going down the elevator i feel the presence of god the holy spirit said to me michael you didn't believe for this but i need your help to get this done on the earth he said i want the kingdom to own this but i couldn't find enough people in this city with faith so i brought you off a vacation because i knew you had the faith for this he said will you partner with me i said god it's a done deal i told the team as i was walking as my assistant is sitting here as my witness i said this is our building and when i walked out that place i went back on vacation i didn't stress about it because i didn't bring it to me i didn't toil about it because i didn't try to make it happen happened i went to aruba and when i came back i came back on a monday they said pastor all of the papers are ready i went in on a wednesday with my founding pastor in the team and in a board room full of people that probably would never be around me i signed the contract for 35 million dollars now watch this and told them before i sign this last paper while i have everybody's attention let me testify of god's goodness and with oil tycoons owners of banks people uh that would never set foot in my church i preached for 35 minutes of how when god is on your side and he gives you a crazy idea that god will move heaven and earth to put his kids in position to expand the kingdom i don't know who this is for but this fight is not yours all you need is faith somebody give god a shout of praise [Applause] somebody's baby is starting to jump right now cause you're saying i'm just a regular dude that don't got a whole bunch but if god gives you a vision somebody put your hand on your belly right now if god gives you a vision if god shows you something nothing can stop it put your hand on your belly i pray that there will be a birthing yep there will be a birthing of visions dreams and ideas you're gonna mark this night there's stuff coming what if the big thing that god needed to do in your life didn't take money what if it didn't take connections what if it didn't take networking what if the only qualification that you needed for this next season of elevation was faith tonight i want to give you the step that allowed all three of these things our church now owns over 70 million dollars worth of real estate in our city and that's in the last three years pastor henry okay i know that just blew a lot of people's mind you i could have said 700 million it would have been the same thing to you this don't happen this is crazy until it happens [Applause] and so tonight sit down i'm about to unlock you because any time god does something for an organization it is the precursor to let you know he can do it for the organism see so many times we come in these places and we shout about what happened to the organization and then we go live in a mud hut and we're believing god for ramen noodles and we've given our last 27 and god said that is dumb your family is not going to be saved by you being dry around the mouth begging them for things the bible said that you should be the lender and not the borrower he said that we would be the head and not to tell he said that we would own land that we didn't even have to tell but there has to be a reason why it hasn't happened and i think it's because the people of god have not had enough faith we got a lot of facts not enough faith and in a day and age where people believe more in google than god we have to get back to a place where our faith is ignited and so i want you to write this statement down because everything that i just told you was crazy faith somebody shouted me crazy faith come on say it with your chest but let me help you understand something crazy faith is not where you start i know everybody wants that but crazy faith is not where you start it is where you find yourself after you're diligent and dedicated to exercising watch this baby faith it doesn't start off with the temple it started off in that first gem that you believed god for it started off with the prayer meeting it doesn't start off by going into the hospital and laying hands in healing up cancer it starts off by when you have a headache not just going to the cabinet and popping the pills but laying hands on yourself babe somebody say baby faith baby faith is reading your word every day well no pastor hannah don't have a word for me on sunday no no no no no no god's got a word for you today baby faith is actually reading the word and receiving it not just posting it on your facebook or instagram because it works with your aesthetic you posted it and didn't even receive it conviction when i think about babies i think about my family i have four babies and i've never shown them in chicago do you all got that picture of my babies up here these are my babies right here um my fine wife she's not here but she watching right now girl i got something for you when i get home i felt the glory of god um but that one in the middle her name is isabella she looks just like her mother and something happened when she was four years old that's going to give us the the the segway into what i have to share with you tonight when she was four years old we were in my car and we were driving she's looking out the window at the clouds and she says daddy do you see it what baby she said oh my goodness do you see it it was like a disney movie i was like uh i said what is it baby she said it's an elephant with a pink tutu on and she's having a tea party with the princesses do you see it baby daddy do you see now the elephant is twirling twirling do you see it daddy and the holy spirit said agree with her i don't say maybe if you see it daddy definitely sees it and i said god what's going on he said i need you to be more like that michael i said more like what more like your daughter is able to see things that are not visible to everyone but with the right perspective it becomes a picture that that can actually manifest in your life and i said okay god what you what you what do you want me to do he said michael i want to show you how your imagination is the tool that i placed on the inside of you to begin to create a world with my help that will change whatever situation you're in right now and tonight i came to unlock somebody with with a word that may seem very trivial to you but it's one of the most spiritual things that you can unlock in your life and it's the word imagination write this point down the genesis of crazier faith is your imagination and i can tell by the responses that i'm talking to a bunch of old crusty christians you stopped imagining a long time ago you so grown that god could literally show you what he wants to do in your life and you would convince god of why you too old why you don't have enough money why god should choose somebody else you just crusty you that piece of bread in the cupboard that let me stop y'all know that one the butter the bread the booty bread the one that don't nobody want that's how your spiritual life looked cause you stopped imagining what god could do through you can i prove you to you that imagination is a key component to what god wants to do in every believer's life let me prove it to you genesis 1 27 at the beginning of the book for all you real saved people so god created human beings in his own say it again out of every word that he could use to describe how he created us what is the root word of imagination so god at the beginning created all of us in his own image in the image or the imagination of god he created them both male and female he created them you may have never thought about it like this but me and you were god's imagination somebody needs to look at somebody and say and he did a good job and he did good didn't he and then god the creator himself continues this theme with abraham the father of faith in genesis chapter 12 you can go research and i don't got time tonight but he literally tells abram i'm about to take you on a crazy faith journey and your whole family can't go with you so i need to give you an image to keep you steady while i'm about to take you away from everything that's comfortable he literally says go to the land i will show you hold the heck up i only can go if you show me he said if i showed you you would be certain and the the difference between walking by faith and not walking by sight is it can't be sure he said go to the land i will step and i'll show you step and i'll make a way step and i'll bring the business partner open the bank account and i'll put money in it so many believers at the starting line waiting for the gun to sound and god said run i put it in you run i told you i would do it run well i'm waiting on them i'm waiting on my family to agree he literally says go to the land i will show you so god is so good and his grace is so sufficient that he's like this boy ain't going he ain't gonna stay the course if i just let him go so i need to give him an image i need to tap into his imagination abraham come here come outside the city look up into the sky and look at all the stars number them if you can he was tapping into his imagination this is the number of descendants you will have these are the nations that will be blessed by you because i know sometimes when you're trying to convince your wife and your kids to keep in this journey and i know when you're doing it and year one goes by and year two goes by and your three goes by and your four goes by and it's not looking like it's going to happen and you're six and you're seven that you need an image to keep you from going back and i don't know who's in this room today that forgot about the image god showed you your imagination is the thing that god wants to unlock so you stop limiting him okay write this down because some of y'all still just looking like i don't know okay cool god's imagination created us we are created in his image therefore we can also create with imagination the cell phone that you hold in your hand 30 years ago was in somebody's imagination the chair you sit in right now was in somebody's help me imagine that wig you have on your head right now [Applause] a lot i mean it's laid to the it looked good girl that lace front was in somebody's the temple it didn't come from nowhere you are sitting in the imagination of pastor john hannah my question to you is will we ever get to experience the realization of your imagination stay with me so tonight all i came on assignment from tulsa oklahoma to do was unlock an anointed imagination in every believer that would have crazy faith to see beyond what you see right now unlocking an anointed imagination pastor mike explain that to me unlocking to open or set free some of y'all have been bound in your mental anointed a lot of people try to make this a very deep and spiritual word but if you research it in the scripture anointed means two things it means god's approval which means that when god is doing something and he anoints it that means i co-sign that and the real thing that a lot of people need to understand is you don't want to do nothing without god's approval because when you have god's approval on something it makes it easy which is the second part of the definition it's divine enablement so when god anoints something he approves it and gives you power to actually do it a lot of people have imagination but they do not have an anointed imagination so when you try to do it you keep failing a lot of y'all in relationships that are in your imagination and the reason why it keeps failing because god's approval is not on it and you keep doing the same thing getting the same results mike you're preaching too hard right now but they really gotta get it you gotta understand that what god wants to do is approve the things that you do you don't want to live in a neighborhood without his anointing you don't want to start that business without his anointing no i thought i was going through this little nail thing with my home girl shaquisha so we just gonna get out here black women entrepreneur is his anointing on it don't you bandwagon something that he hasn't put his hand on so what god wants to do is give you an anointed imagination let me tell you what imagination is it's the ability of the mind to create new ideas or pictures not present to the senses you can't touch it smell it see it that sounds like a missy elliott song touch it see it smell it dig y'all not saved i did that just on purpose i knew chicago was my type of people so an anointed imagination if you can write this down write it down it's the ability to create new ideas or pictures not present to the senses that god approves and empowers us to live out for his glory what pastor hannah had was something that was anointed approved by god even in seed form that now we are all living out for his glory what happened back in tulsa where god took the wealth of the wicked and he just gave it to this young boy with faith he did all of that because i got an image of what god could do and what i found is the key to this is most of us have been shutting down our imagination to be able to see ourselves in the way that god sees us and what he can do through us matthew chapter 18 verse 1 jesus has to check his disciples because they got the wrong perspective look at it it says about that time the disciples came to jesus and asked jesus great message brother that was that was really good what you did jc i got a question for you who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven would it be somebody dark handsome purple shoes on they were trying to get a compliment or put in position in this moment and jesus says let me teach these fools something where's a child come here susie and he calls little susie over and puts her in the middle of the circle and this is what he says look at it i tell you the truth unless you turn from your sins repent and become like little children you will never get into the kingdom of heaven this is scripture we skip over we talk about the sin part but we don't talk about this second part unless you repent of your sins and become more like children i'm too grown for that you know what i've been through i put that on my mama ain't nobody about to come up here and dissuad me i paid for this i did this if god won't and we do all of this stuff some of y'all are professional adults no no i'm coming for you right now because it makes you feel like you're special but you're locking yourself out of the kingdom of god i know we don't talk about this scripture a lot because so many of us want to be seen a certain way but god is saying it only matters how i see you and unless you repent and become more like children you'll never inherit the kingdom of god what let me give you a key to the kingdom be more kitty be more kitty i love that when i walked out here pastor hannah and pastor glenn they was on a live feed and all i seen was pastor hannah do this and pastor glenn was like my turn [Applause] this at the ribbon-cutting ceremony these the adults that are in charge i walk in to meet pastor hannah today first time ever in person i come in the room and put out my hand he said [Applause] he's the pastor but there's something see when you get all of this you got to be dignified and you got to put have everything put together and you got to know everything but there's something that god trusts in the character of a child there's something in there i'm trying to unlock somebody and this is going to help you you want a key to the kingdom become more kitty i didn't say immature i said you have characteristics like a child i have four kids so i i listed the top four characteristics of all children okay children trust kids trust you can tell a four-year-old today is yondan day and then be like cool cool cuckoo what's the day i know i know if young don day why because when you were talking to them kids trust what else do kids do kids believe until you bust a bubble cause you old and mad some of y'all just evil cause you ain't got no joy in your life you see your kids having a little joint santa claus ain't real that's me i bought in prison upon that let me stop let me stop i couldn't get my new wig cause you got them jordans let me stop miserable y'all preparing your speeches for christmas already some of y'all all ready but the easter bunny santa claus the tooth fairy all of them real why because kids believe what else do kids do kids obey not your kids but a lot of other people's kids obey you know the last thing everybody's kids do before they're robbed of it these kids imagine can you throw me that water bottle right there please kids imagine see this water bottle right here when i was a kid wasn't a water bottle put a picture of me up as a kid never before seen a picture of pastor michael todd as a child no no pants on wearing somebody else's shirt i didn't care this came up on my memories while i was preparing for this message and the holy spirit said michael that kid knew more about the kingdom than the pastor i'm talking to right now i said what i read the bible that couldn't read i worship he didn't know what worship was he said but he knew more about the kingdom because when he saw something like this this could become anything [Music] and god said to me what if you could take your current situation and say depression anxiety every lie of the enemy there is a place in god that your situation ain't what your situation looks like if you would tap in to an anointed imagination sit down i got 15 more minutes and i'm about to work every second my question to you is where did your imagination die this week i need you to locate where it died because there's about to be a resurrection i know being a musician is hard especially when 2020 came and god said you were going to do this and do this and do this and do this and now you're playing for churches you want to never play foe you're doing stuff you would never do i'm i'm just trying to relate to somebody who who who understands what it looks like when god shows you one thing but it don't look like it's gonna happen i mean i wonder what it must have felt like year two after breaking ground on land that you didn't even own and standing up bold and saying god's gonna build this and probably had drawings and renderings and people called you crazy but why did you keep going there was an image that god showed him that he still had enough childlike faith to believe and my question to you is where did your imagination die forget this building it's done now what no no no not for this church for you do you go back after this and live the same go to the business that you hate working at and think this is your portion for the rest of your life i'm trying to talk to something on the inside of you god told you to sign up for the college and you stealing filled out the application and oh i'm too old for that god said sarah had a baby at 90. and you still telling me what i can't do through you and for you and to you something to unlock your imagination and i know because it almost happened to me what kills imagination is trauma and some of y'all are so wounded your imagination died in the youth group it died in that household it's killed by trials turmoil tragedy but this is the thing god told me you got to get it back you got to get your imagination back tonight because if you can't everybody close your eyes close your eyes all over this room watch it online close your eyes imagine yourself next year see it's so crazy some people started shouting and some people were waiting on another instruction you were waiting for me to tell you what was happening next year imagine it where you at how much money is in the bank what waist size are you uh oh [Applause] come on close your eyes some of y'all's still looking at me you you won't even do this little exercise imagine yourself free imagine yourself not having to go to those websites imagine yourself not popping those pills imagine yourself not going to that alcohol under the cabinet that nobody knows about imagine imagine yourself 12 months from now who's around you do you have joy is your company thriving imagine see the the problem is that this is so hard for people because you have so much clouding the vision that god is trying to give you right now but i'm asking everybody for the next week to set aside time to imagine why are you saying that pastor mike because imagination is the engine of your faith it's the engine can i break this down for you take that music down cause they think i'm about to end so calm down please if you don't have to leave because some of y'all are just going to go home and watch netflix and that's going to not do anything for your future but this next little bit is about to change your life faith is the vehicle to your future whatever you're gonna do you're gonna need faith to do it my question is if faith is the vehicle to your future what kind of car does your faith look like she said oh a bentley no more like a buick rolls-royce no rust bucket but this week i want you to evaluate seriously what does the vehicle of your faith look like and then by crazy faith i want you to get another picture of what you want it to look like because faith is the vehicle to your future but hope is the fuel for your faith you can have the best vehicle in the world but if you don't have no fuel you ain't going nowhere that's why hebrews 11 1 says now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen and that's why i come down to the point that imagination is the engine you can have the vehicle of faith you can have the fuel of faith but if you do not have an engine you're stuck pastor mike what are you saying to us tonight i want you to place the engine of imagination back into your life and i want you to start to dream again the visions that god has given you i know you don't have the money but close your eyes and see it imagination is free it don't take you no money to imagine yourself healed no it hasn't happened yet but imagine yourself going to your 70th birthday party and being able to wow wow wow i'm at see i know what's happening pastor hannah a lot of people's engine is not run by imagination their engine is run by intellect so god wants you to go somewhere in the vehicle of faith but you have an engine of intellect everything got to make sense well as i look at all of the data i just don't feel like this is quantifiably a wise decision as a fiduciary and you go through all of these words but the thing you need to know about faith is faith begins where understanding ends where you don't understand that's where faith shows up and some of y'all aren't running on the engine of intellect you're running on the engine of ignorance this is why pastor hannah and pastor glenn get up here every sunday and tell you to read the word to actually pray because you do not know the promises that god has already laid up for you you're ignorant of the promises it reminds me of a time i went on an all-inclusive trip and was still paying for meals you laughing at me but this is how you look every day as a believer there are things that are built in to the life of a kingdom kid and you over here begging people for resources and my god owns his name is jehovah jireh the god that we'll provide he is the god that is with me oh but you ignorant of the promises and some of y'all your engine is intellect others of you the engine is ignorance and some of y'all the engine is influence what are they doing we not doing that no more okay we don't sing those praise songs all right we don't go to and you just follow everybody and anybody and god said i called you to stand out i'm i'm looking the reason pastor hannah god had to raise this church up in the hood you're not the first one he tried to do it with he'd been trying to do this for decades but when i looked at all of the numbers and all this it just doesn't fiscally make sense and people followed the influence of others when god was trying to raise it up and he had to find somebody with imagination y'all somebody like this is so elementary and you still got nothing [Applause] oh you want to shout then then to go back to nothing you want to get laid out to not be able to lend nobody nothing brings the jail in back it's your winning season and you keep losing i'm trying to give you the practical key see it before you see it in that video montage i saw you standing when there was just concrete and beams and guess what pastor hannah was doing he was using his i feel the presence of god now because somebody's about to get unlocked yo i feel it it's about to happen now can i tell it to you like this your imagination watch this is your spiritual womb whatever starts in your imagination comes out in your life not just good things whatever you put in the womb whatever seed you put in a womb give it time is coming out crying can i be honest before i got married i i i cheated on my girlfriend uh that would become my wife i know pastors don't say stuff like that because y'all lie and y'all are bougie but i was uh at my church i would have said it but i don't know how y'all do here okay i see i'm hot i'm humble open and transparent i don't care where i go i'm gonna be exactly who god created me to be because he's still working on me you understand what i'm saying and that's a good thing for some of y'all cause you don't have to be perfect to be able to be used by god let me stop but but i i cheated on um my girlfriend that would become my wife and um the one thing that i know is every time that i did it it didn't just happen it always started in my imagination i'd be watching a music video wow how'd it how did she do that and there was a seed planted in my imagination and sometimes it would come out two days later ten days later two years later but it was coming out because it was planted there what if the body of christ would protect their imagination the reason you can't watch everything is because this is too powerful the reason you can't go everywhere it's not because we're trying to be religious you got too much power the reason you can't hang with everybody is because you got too much power the reason why you can't go to that city the reason why god shut that job down the reason why he didn't allow you to marry them it would have took control of your imagination oh i'm preaching because you know that's what anxiety is it's the baby of imagination and fear the reason why you're so anxious to go everywhere because you planted fear in your imagination and you're thinking of all these things that could've should have would have kind of what if and all this other stuff that happened and that was coming out in your body because you let fear and imagination have a baby now you got all of us up here right come on come on i'm tired i'm tired and i'm hot i'm actually hungry if you could get control of your imagination the altar would be for rejoicing if you could get a oh god if you would stop scrolling so much on your high school friends page and letting them get inside your imagination but crack open the word of god and get the promises from him that's why second corinthians 10 5 says cast down every vain imagination everybody by faith do this cast it down that's not god's responsibility [Music] god is not going to cast down your vain imagination this is your job come to the altar get prayer but you still gonna have to tear it down ask for strength but he ain't taking the lord just take it away god will do everything you can but nothing you can i'm stepping on somebody's toes because you've been believing god take it away god said turn it off [Applause] i'm not taking away what you won't turn off you've been around broke people all your life and i've been telling you to get new friends but it's chokey and pooky and new and then my boys and god said get away from them because they are taking control of your i'm we always going to be in this hood we're going to ride for our hood we know i'm leaving i'll write y'all like i everybody do it again come on everything that has been taken up space in your imagination i want us on the count of three i want us to pull it down some of us are pulling down generational habits generational thought process poverty mentality yeah some of y'all standing up now cause you know how serious this is every vain imagination this is a prophetic sign for you if you're at home i want you to lift your hands and some of y'all can't do it just once because there's several things that need to be teared down one we're tearing down everything imagination two god's not gonna do it you gonna do it three come on tear it down come on tear it down come on i feel the power of god somebody tear it down poverty lack somebody's breakthrough is coming right now i tear down every vein imagination low self-esteem insecurity tear it down tear it down all week long you're gonna be riding in your car and you [Applause] you go wake up in the morning i'm tearing it down every vain imagination everything that would exalt itself with the against the knowledge of god somebody give god a shout of praise [Music] [Applause] something moving somebody's about to reclaim their imagination god's about to give you an anointed imagination you thought you saw the business before you ain't seen nothing yet you thought your family was healed and whole there's another level of love coming to your household you oh you thought that you were powerful before there's a new revelation cause i'm freeing up space and i'm tearing down every vain imagination [Applause] [Music] pastor michael i just keep having these thoughts they just come i heard it said like this you can't stop a bird from landing on your head but you can stop it from making a nest there some of y'all have been letting thoughts well i never could be used by god if they found out my past you talking to somebody who was addicted to pornography a liar and a manipulator i had a car insurance fraud case that almost went felony as bishop is my witness he the one told me i had a warrant out for my arrest i ain't making this stuff up do you know how the enemy tried to plague my imagination and god said don't let it stay there don't let that sum you up when they told you you could never build it here you didn't allow that vain imagination to exalt itself against what god already had told you and some of y'all he told you your family would be back together he told you your family would be saved in the balcony he told you you would be able to start that business that changes the future of generations and something came that was vain imagination and god said tear it down somebody say tear it down okay pastor i'ma believe i'm gonna get my imagination together so i'm gonna just start believing for anything all right hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on cause they think they think they think they can just go now and just start thinking about everything that's gonna be my wife hold on hold on hold on hold on that's somebody else's wife i'm taking over for pastor hannah he don't know it yet hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on because if we honest our imagination can run wild so let me tell you how to how to purify your imagination this is the last key imagination is purified in intercession so think the wildest thought and then bring it to god in prayer and prayer purifies your imagination god that's my husband i promise it is bring it to him i'm about to take over this all i'm saying is if you want your imagination to be anointed and have god's approval on it you got to talk to him about it so your imagination is purified in intercession that's why i love this house because the one thing i knew about this house before i ever met pastor hannah was this was a praying church i never met somebody that will be up at 4 00 am 5 a.m 3 a.m 2 a.m have all y'all on a block of chicago yelling to the north south east and the west at 11 59 this man this is a praying church why because the imagination is big so we have to bring more to intercession so that we can make sure what god gives us is purified that's what proverbs 3 5 says in all your ways in everything you imagine from the car you drive to the house you live in to the suit you wear anything that's in its imagination and all of them acknowledge him and he will make your way straight or direct your path intercession purifies your imagination but guess what else intercession changes your focus i can't tell you how many times i went to prayer with my imagination and i thought it was about one thing god i'm gonna have a bunch of money and the reason i wanted the bunch of the money to stun on people gucci louie cindy platter they don't know but when you go to prayer can you come right here camera go out of focus for me real quick yeah just take it all the way out of focus yeah just oh that's a real good camera huh somebody give me a camera that can go out of focus y'all got these next level these these blessed there you go get me out of focus she's like oh no i can't get out of focus we got these sanctified cameras it just corrects it but that's what happens in prayer [Applause] when it goes out of focus but you say god i'm bringing this to you it auto corrects everything everything every lie every wrong friendship everything i can't get off a path if i stay in intercession he keeps winning how cause i'm bringing all my imagination into intercession and he keeps changing god it's out of focus right now but lord i'm trusting you oh god i think this is what you said but as i make this step god i thank you that you're making it clearer right now god and father god i don't know if this is the school my child should go to but even as i go to fill out the paperwork father you're making it clearer father you're the god that sends confirmation you're the god that brings dark things into the light the stuff that i don't even know right now god you're fighting battles i can't see right now as i bring my imagination into intercession everything comes into everybody shot at me focused the last thing intercession does i'm talking about your imagination cause some of y'all about to start dreaming i mean tonight it's gonna be hard to sleep because now that you took the cap off somebody say no cap that's the first time mama georgia ever said that but somebody say no cat now that you've taken the limit off your imagination oh i feel the presence of god now god has the ability to drop stuff on you that he has the resources for but just needed the vessel for is there any vessels in the room tonight intercession doesn't just change the focus intercession changes your feelings so many of us when we get our imagination we get caught up on what we think it's going to be and when you take that thing to intercession god says yeah yeah let me change your feelings i'ma make it i'm gonna change your focus but what i was really trying to do is change your feelings about it some of y'all y'all go to prayer with demarcus because you think he's your husband cause you know demarcus got the thing and the thing and the thing but i promise you go to prayer i know you didn't already cut yourself out and put it in the picture and got it ready for instagram y'all crazy but go to intercession with that thing and you went with demarcus and you'll come out with daniel you say god daniel but he'll change your feelings about it i don't know he is going to kill his little glasses and suspenders and everything look at him with his little pocket protector he cute i'm telling you you don't want you don't want god to give you what you want you want god to give you what you need and you can see today but he can see tomorrow you can see to the corner but he can see around the corner we serve a god that knows what we need an intercession we bring our imagination and he'll change our feelings it even happened to our lord and savior do y'all remember when he was in intercession before he went to the cross in the garden of gethsemane y'all remember and he was he was crying and bleeding drops of blood and he said i know i signed up for this before i came but my bad i tap out i don't want to do this no more if there's any other way any other way but he was an intercession and as soon as he said i don't want to do nevertheless change his feelings not my will but george peter some of y'all have been frustrated about a decision that you won't take to intercession and god has said if you bring it to me i'll change your feelings about it and recession changes your focus intercession changes your feelings lasting intercession changes your future don't be musicians who don't pray i'm not saying that i was always to do when the pastor always said because i was on the drums and they'd be like musicians stand up let me pray over you let me get any like man they just trying to show out i'm not saying that i was you like i was you not as good as you but i was you but what differentiated me later on in my life as i developed the prayer life and god showed me that the drums were a vehicle not a destination he showed me the keys were a vehicle not a destiny he showed me the sound booth was a vehicle he showed me the studio was a vehicle he changed my feelings he changed my focus and he changed my future that's why when you imagine yourself see when i used to imagine myself if i was in an auditorium like this i'd be killing on the drums that's how i imagined it but but now i'm in the auditorium like this and i'm still here my imagination was in the right vicinity i was in the right room i just needed my focus and my feelings and my future to be changed and the thing that did that was intercession there was another wailing that is about to come from the church who is going to see the kingdom of heaven actually be possessed on earth i know i'm talking too high now but i'm talking about the whole thing as it is in heaven let it come down on earth that's what's about to happen there is a wealth transfer there is an authority transfer there is a power transfer but it only can come to people who have an imagination that is anointed by god to see things that the current situation cannot quantify but it's only crazy until it happens that's why james 5 16 says the effective fervents prayers of righteous people not perfect people that's what the church wanted to say just righteous people who are right standing i messed up now i'm back i jacked up now i'm back they avail much or they work we gotta go yeah we got to go i'm hungry but i just came here to be a living example along with the one you stand in in this building so there's two confirmations tonight the seat you set in and the ground you stand on was a confirmation and this six one black sweaty young man is to say i don't i poured out what really happened not a story i'm telling you about and we're shouting about one day i've lived a life of crazy faith but it came because i let god unlock an anointed imagination can i give y'all one last example on june 25th is the first time i saw the building that i told you about the transformation towers the new global headquarters of transformation church and as i walked out of the building everybody said bye i was driving off and the holy spirit said you're not gonna get an image of what i'm about to do i almost walked out of the moment that god was telling me he was going to do something without getting an image that i could replay because when you're going through something and you're taking a journey of crazy faith you have to rehearse the promise not replay the pain not regurgitate the problems you have to rehearse the promise so i pulled out and i turned right and hit a u-turn and came back and i pulled out my phone 30 minutes before after i seen this building and this was the video that i recorded look at this or maybe not somebody tell me do they got it no okay go to my instagram basically i recorded a video bishop as my witness said i'm standing outside of this building and this building is going to be the future home of transformation church and i said i don't know how this is gonna happen but in crazy faith i'm standing out here and people was driving by and i was trying to act normal and i said god do what you did with every other thing i want a picture i want to i want to get i want to get a picture and i'm standing in front of this massive building and i got an image and once i got that image i played it every single day now watch less than 60 days later where they say we had no financing pastor they put the keys in my hand but can i tell you the crazy part about it can i tell them bishop so the oil company that was in there they actually didn't want to leave the building so we became the new owners but they decided that they wanted to stay and lease space from us so they moved from the entire building and went down to the second and third floor and they pay enough in the mortgage to pay for they pay the note god transferred the ownership to somebody with faith and made somebody else pay for it i'm telling you today that we serve a god [Applause] who will do the impossible we gained everything and lost nothing standing all over the building standing all over the building bro we don't pay for we don't pay for it they hold on that means that god didn't need my resource this ain't for everybody some of y'all going back to the same situation and that's cool thank you for coming tonight but he didn't need my resource brother he needed my faith god can't do anything on the earth without a partner but some things he only can do with partners who have crazy faith the reason i came here tonight was to ignite every person to have an anointed imagination eyes have not seen ears have not heard neither has it entered into the heart or the imagination the things that god has prepared for you sister the things that he has prepared for you brother who who's receiving this right now hands lifted all of it the things he's preparing for you you haven't even thought or imagined but will you have the faith tonight as we close i didn't come here to give you information pastor hannah pastor glenn and the pastors pastor walker these are some of the smartest people in the world i i told y'all already i got six months of tcc top quality education tulsa community college you didn't come here for information you didn't even come here tonight for revelation every scripture i told you you've heard it before new package but the same thing tonight i'm on this divine assignment to give you an impartation i have the gift of faith i don't have the ability to believe sometimes i walk into places and if god says it's mine it's in either this thing is real or it's not either either this thing is real or it's not and tonight god said michael i want you to unlock the anointed imagination in anybody that would have the faith to believe i don't know if it's legal or not to ask you to come to the altar but i'm going to tell you what god showed me in my imagination before i left tulsa today he showed me people taking steps of faith not because something magical was going to happen at the altar this was a prophetic sign of you starting to move out of wrong thinking and wrong vain imagination and he said anybody that has the faith to believe that you need to get as close to this altar as you can because there's about to be an impartation of faith over your life over your family oh there's too many people oh there's stuff no no no no don't let anything stop you at this current moment and when you come down here come down here with your hands raised so i feel the presence of god i know there's going to it don't matter if you got to come down from the balcony it's worth it to take the walk it's worth it to take the walk because the just shall live by faith we walk by faith and not by sight there's something happening it's not in my touch it's not in my words it's in your faith there is a faith that is about to well up on the inside of you system that's gonna create things that

tomorrow you got it okay i have no authority other than the holy spirit told me to say this to y'all okay so i'm not standing as i i haven't been in ministry but two days so so i'm not this ain't pastor mike trying to say something to y'all the message that i spoke tonight about unlocking an anointed imagination was for y'all they they're there no no no listen i need to be very clear y'all are getting it by the way the enemy tried to steal your imagination the past seven years and he tried to make you think that this was the pinnacle and something happened when you finished this that was almost like you took off your work bag like it was almost like you're like oh like and god said this just qualified you for what i really wanted to do [Applause] but the thing i need to tell you especially you mom it's gonna get easier it won't cost as much emotionally it won't take the toll on the marriage that it took on it it won't cost you your joy it won't this one was to break forth this one this one you this one you had to break a whole bunch of stuff but in all of those buildings that god gave us in the past three years the first one was 10 million the second one was 20.5 the last one was 35 and it happened on vacation it's because god says i can trust you seven years of stewarding over your word seven years of stewarding over the money seven years of doing what you said you were gonna do seven years of standing in the face of politicians and city councilmen and and people who told you they were gonna be with you but then dipped with the check they said they were going to give you seven years and you stay consistent the word god gave you was the word he gave me said he'd been consistent and now god said watch me watch me consistently blow your mind oh y'all better rejoice watch me consistently do it it's gonna be like everywhere you go the doors are going open everywhere you go god is going to bless you y'all better rejoice like you get the fruit of this watch me consistently do it watch me consistently open doors unlock your imagination [Applause] i think there's a city that is about to rise up in faith if he's gonna do it for this house that means he's gonna do it for this house somebody open up your mouth and give god a shout of prayer [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right so this is how i'm gonna do this holy spirit told me i have never done this in the history of my little bitty ministry but the holy spirit told me that today i was coming to sow a seed this entire message was for this moment i'm not sewing for this building [Music] [Applause] god already got this one paid for this one he gonna pay for this one but you need somebody to get in the trenches with you and imagine for something else and the city development the housing development the stuff that he showed you for the city for the community for gangs to stop ravaging the streets and doing the things transformation church is sowing a hundred thousand dollars tonight we didn't come here to play no games we are about to see the faith of god's people [Applause] rise up [Applause] this is the time for the kingdom of god to be x [Applause] i dare somebody to shout right now like whatever he's imagining [Applause] it's already done [Music] [Applause] you're not gonna have music tomorrow shout like he just did it some of y'all don't need
