dove in the air do something send a smoke signal and uh just tell them you love me and i could not um go past this moment without honoring all the mothers of transformation church but specifically pastor natalie who is the mother of all my babies and um y'all i know you'll be like i know you got to do the mother's day thing and all that other stuff this ain't a mother's day thing for me this is an everyday thing for me we have been through so many things and the fact that my three and a half children we got one on the way right now have the best mother in the world natalie i appreciate you i love you and i see why god gave me my greatest gift in you today i honor you i i how about say i lift you up you know what i'm saying you're starting magnus i'll lift you up now hey anyway um i i honor you and i thank god and on behalf of me and my kids and transformation church we thank god for pastor natalie and i think we want to do something okay since today's mother's day bring me that joe y'all know we're having a child in in 24 days so i thought why don't we find out the gender of the baby right here at transformation church today we're having a 30-second gender reveal right now at transformation church in the comments if you think it's a boy or you think it's a girl i need you to put it in the audience what do y'all think it is is it a boy is it a girl i need you to put it come on put some pink in the thing we're about to see if you really here holy spirit all right y'all ready i need y'all to give me a countdown here we go five four three two one oh yes yeah so for all y'all thought it was a boy you didn't hear the lord no i'm just playing uh me and natalie on this mother's day are so grateful to bring into the world now make it pink put the name back up there this is my last kid i'm doing the whole thing you understand what i'm saying this is it this is the finale my four and no more um the name of this child is going to be gia simone hope and um we are really excited about what god is about to do through this finale in the todd household and i wanted to share this moment with my church family because that's who you really are you're our family and so over this next season we need you to be praying for us it's 24 days pastor nat is at at home in the bed right now because she just swole up and and and and i need y'all to be praying y'all go ahead and start doing this thing it makes me they're going to clean all of this up y'all can be seated but it makes me just want to have just a family talk real quick about um this next season of ministry we're about to go into okay and um i think so they can be able to do all of this you just camera follow me over here you can turn it back to regular now and they can do all of that um what what what's about to happen over this next three months is something that if you're just starting to follow transformation church you may not know it's something that we do every summer and um i'm going on paternity leave after this series about the holy spirit and um i know this is something that most pastors and most ministers don't do because their ministry is more important than their family but i want to be very clear this is what god's called me to do my family is what he's called me too you see how little the amens are right there but this is what i'm saying to you i won't get to the end of my life and god asked me what did i do with your most important thing i gave you and i said well god i did crusades and god we did crazy faith and god we packed arenas and we wrote songs he said but i gave you my daughter and i gave you those four children and you didn't steward over them right so one of the things i'm trying to model for you is that there is no level of success that is worth neglecting your family i'm gonna say it again there is no level of success not grammys not bags of millions not new york time bestseller nothing is working worth you neglecting your family and so one of the rhythms that we put in place at the beginning of ministry given by our oversight pastor pastor tim ross he said michael every summer you need to take a break and i said i can't take no break we we going after the the the lost and the founding we're doing all this for the kingdom he said yeah yeah but you can't lose what's important in the midst of all that every summer you need to take a break and you need to give specific time to your wife you need to give specific time to your kids you need to give specific time to me the holy spirit see every series that has blessed your life relationship goals came the first series after i took a break planet not buried the first series after i took a break crazy faith the first series it's because i had a moment to recreate to allow god to minister to me and to show me things that he needed to correct and to really make me know watch this that i ain't all that it humbles me the fact that this church can go without me like y'all don't miss me like like it puts me back in a position that lets me know that this is god's church these are god's people and this is god's work and so i'm letting you know that after we finish we got three more weeks i think of this series maybe four i don't know what's gonna happen but after this series the beginning of june we'll be giving birth to gia and pastor mike is gonna go on paternity leave and i'm gonna be out of here i'm not gonna be answering no dms i'm not gonna be at the office i'm not gonna be praying for people outside unless the holy spirit specifically says pray for them like i'm going to take a break and then i'm taking my extended time of sabbatical and i'll be back in the fall no no i need to say it that clear because here's a chance for spiritual maturity because if you only get fed because of this cook you're actually not mature and my responsibility i have to tell you just like this because this is a chance for you to mature the fact that you would vote can god speak through them in the bible he spoke through burning bushes he spoke through animals he spoke through signs if you need an aesthetic for god to speak you're going to miss him a lot of the times i promise you that whoever stands on this platform they will hear from god they will have a word from god and they will speak a word in season to you and your family you don't have to worry and i'm just believing that as we said the word is anchored this year i think that we would be anchored to the word of god not anchored to the word of pastor mike uh-oh i think we would be anchored to the spirit of god and not anchored to the aesthetic of pastor mike what i'm saying most pastors are too insecure to say this to you but i want you not to be connected to me more than you are connected to him and whatever he has to say he can get it through anybody and i wanted i felt like this was a moment to model it in front of you and can i give you permission i give you permission to miss a couple weeks of service not all at the same time don't do it all at the same time but i want you to miss for the intense purpose and intentional purpose of giving to your family i know i would rather you miss a sunday here and be present with your family and children and make memories because you don't know how many people i counsel right now who their entire um um testimony is i don't know my parents because they gave their life to the church and now their view of god is messed up because your ability your inability to prioritize today i want to encourage you as your pastor is about to take a break and recreate i want you guys to be praying for us we don't know what the heaven or hell we doing with four kids don't even have a clue and let's not even talk about how a dog showed up on my doorstep yesterday i don't i need y'all to pray but we're in a season right now of trying to do this and my commitment is to transformation church to live authentically and hot in front of you humble open and transparent my plan is to do this as long as god would have me do it and the only way we can do that is if we do it in health so will y'all pray for your pastor over this next season will y'all hold us up and lift us up i'm excited about what god's gonna do and this is going to be i'm speaking it it's going to be a summer of growth it's going to be a summer of exponential revelation this oh y'all don't even hear me this is going to be a summer that god grows the church and expands it and we're going to mature amen somebody say we're getting anchored hallelujah are y'all ready for the word today [Music] i think i got one um we in week four of a series we calling help me the upgrade and we're talking about the power the person and the presence of the holy spirit let me say it again the power the person and the presence of the holy spirit and this has been one of the things that has been kept out of so many people's christian walk and it really is the thing that empowers them to live a life that looks like christ you cannot live like christ without god on the inside of you it's not going to be a good plan or a good idea or wanting to do about better you need the empowerment of the holy spirit somebody say i need the empowerment of the holy spirit now the crazy thing about it is the holy spirit has had very bad pr because there's some crazy people out here there's some people who have never explained it properly so over this next this whole six weeks or seven weeks that we're doing this series my job is to represent the holy spirit to you and let you see that he is alive he is active he's a person he's got power and he wants to change your situation and so today i feel like i got to be a teacher on this day i feel like i got to teach you some stuff that you were never taught before and let me be very clear i was never taught before raised in church grown up this is why it's so important to discover god for yourself and to go to the scriptures what they say ain't all of it do you know that there is things that god wants to reveal god the holy spirit to you in your everyday life so i'm going to walk you through this and i need you to go with me so that you can understand this process we got to go back to higher dimensions um when i was about nine years old it's the church that i grew up in pastor carlton pearson is actually three miles down the street where i grew up and i would walk into these services and there would be this feeling that you got i mean you come in the music it was just angelic and people were singing and you saw white people and black people and all different ethnicities and they were worshiping and you could feel something that was in the atmosphere and then there would be just somebody that blurred out in these unknown tongues and i was sitting there like okay is that spanish can i be very honest with you that's badass okay and then i hear somebody over here and they'd be going i'm like is that friends and then somebody going to everybody that would start speaking in his language and then all i was nine years old i remember i was like i think my uh children's church worker knows a bunch of languages and i went home and i would hear my mom speaking in this unknown tongue and i was like what in the world is this did i miss a class do i not have something that somebody else has and then i heard this one preacher say this thing and this was the definition i thought of the holy spirit they said this phrase that today i'm coming to correct today i'm coming to change the attitude and the idea it wasn't said wrong but it left the wrong mark on me and it may have left the wrong mark on you the the person said today you need to be filled with the holy spirit and he said have you been filled with the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues how many people have heard that before have you been filled with the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues so in my nine-year-old mind i equated that the only way you know that you've been filled with the holy spirit is that you can prove it by speaking in tongues so my entire christian walk and right now i'm messing with some people's theology some of y'all tight booty right now you're sitting there like oh my god what is he um go to somebody else td jakes you're trying to get there but i'm gonna teach you today that i thought all the year up into my 30s i only been 30 for five years in the last five years i have undone this fallacy that has had me can i be honest judging people [Music] i thought if you did not speak in tongues you were not filled with the holy spirit which made me better than you and now i can judge you i'm gonna be real today cause there are some religious spirits that are in this place right now and some some uh traditional christians that have been sitting from oh they're not real they ain't filled with the spirit they don't got the evidence now let me help you the bible never says that the proof of being filled with the spirit is that you speak in tongues speaking in tongues is very real and i'm going to talk about that and i'm gonna get and i pray that everybody speaks in tongues i want you to know i would not be standing here today if i did not have a heavenly language but what i need to do before i introduce you to the heavenly language is break down the walls that have made there be separation over this idea of the holy spirit it's not evidence that you have the holy spirit it's a benefit of the holy spirit speaking in tongues is a benefit of the holy spirit and this is why we all need to be baptized in the holy spirit and when you're baptized in the holy spirit the holy spirit comes with gifts and the only gift the church talks about is the gift of speaking in tongues did you know that the gifts of speaking in tongues is one of nine gifts that the holy spirit brings oh i'm about to teach this thing in the hole it is one of the nine gifts that the holy spirit brings and it's the one that we've used to judge other people can i be very clear with you if you speak in tongues it is a benefit if you have received jesus and you have allowed him to come into your life the holy spirit lives on the inside of you some of you have not released the holy spirit yet to work in your life so when you get baptized in the holy spirit then you release him to bring these gifts to you and there are nine gifts of the holy spirit that every believer has access to at all times i just said access to act all time and i gotta teach you today okay acts 19. i feel this thing my teacher is in here today acts 19 verse one this is paul while apollos was in corinth paul traveled through the interior regions until he reached ephesus on the coast where he found several believers so he walked up there was a bunch of believers there and look at the question he asked him which is a valid question did you receive the holy spirit when you believed so it goes back to last week's message that tells you there's a baptism into salvation that's when we believe then there's a baptism in water and can i just stop real quick and let you know that the 23rd of this month is flood sunday at transformation church and people have said welcome to the holy spirit can i tell y'all how many people have signed up as of about an hour ago to get baptized fifteen thousand seven hundred and nine people from 25 different oh y'all better help me 25 different countries are getting baptized glory to god if we don't do another thing we just help 15 000 people take their next step on their journey with christ and you know what pumps me up about that is that if fifteen thousand seven hundred and nine people have decided that i'm gonna take this next step and being baptized in water it just makes me pumped up to see how many people are gonna take the next step and be baptized in the holy spirit and let me just say if you want to be baptized we are sending actual physical kits to 15 700 and i pray for the team this week y'all we're sending them to everybody if you want to be included in that and you want to get baptized we're getting baptized in ponds and kiddie pools in hot tubs and jacuzzi tubs in in neighborhood pools on the 23rd i'm telling you it may be a guinness world record i don't know what's about to happen but we are going to baptize as many people as want to if you want to be baptized text in to the number that's on your screen and and if you text in by midnight tonight right by midnight tonight we're going to send you a physical package and if you're watching this after on rebroadcast do not worry we'll still still send you a digital kit so you can do everything and get baptized but i feel like we're about to see a revival something start up on the inside [Applause] but this is the thing that we we we have to see paul comes to these believers and said did you receive the holy spirit when you believed and look what they said no and this is like most of y'all before the upgrade we haven't even heard of the holy spirit do you know how many believers serve on the worship team go through everything and have never even heard of the holy spirit so then look what paul says like i'm saying to you then what baptizing baptism did you experience what were you baptized then if you haven't heard of the holy spirit and they replied you know the baptism of john what he was doing down there paul said john's baptism called for repentance from sin that's salvation but john himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later meaning jesus and as soon as they heard this they were baptized in the name of the lord jesus watch verse six then paul laid hands on them the holy spirit came on them and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied the holy spirit gives gifts right after he prayed for these disciples two of them showed up and most of us only found one he said they spoke in tongues and they i'm just trying to show you that we're not going to maximize on one and leave out everything that the holy spirit has for us okay speaking in tongues is real i speak in tongues every day i speak in spoken tongues with our executive team and our pastors right before we came out here every meeting that we have at this church no matter if you're a cameraman to everybody we pray and many of us are speaking in tongues monday night prayer if you want to come and hear a world when of people praying out in their heavenly language come tomorrow night at 6 pm on youtube we pray but can i make a very strong statement tongues is not evidence of the holy spirit it's a benefit of the holy spirit don't judge another believer based on if they can speak in a heavenly language or not that is a spirit of criticism and it's the spirit of judgment and i'ma show you a little bit later that that person's prayer has more chance to reaching heaven than yours even if you do speak in tongues okay i just gotta say y'all feel the tightness in the room right now i'm gonna try to help you because i need us to be able to have a biblical view on what the scriptures say about the gifts of the holy spirit so then we can display it to people in a way that they can receive it first corinthians 12 1 it says now concerning spiritual gifts brethren watch this i do not want you to be ignorant the whole reason i'm preaching this is because i don't want the church another day to be ignorant of the gifts of the holy spirit and i didn't say stupid i didn't say that you were dumb you were just void of understanding and there's a lot of things in this christian walk because of leaders because of maybe the denomination because of other people we are void of teaching that the word is very clear on well that's not sexy enough like i don't even care if the numbers are going down on youtube right now because people aren't checked in the 25 000 people that are checked into this they're gonna get an upgrade in their ability to understand the holy spirit and they will no longer be ignorant void of understanding but because you need the holy spirit to live this life and so i want to talk about the benefits of the holy spirit so that we're not ignorant of it is that okay now i don't know if i should make this a bible study class there's so much to teach right now and so little time so let me just help you because i want to develop an appetite for people to study the word of god if you're only listening to pastor mike you have missed the point i give you all these scriptures and all these points so that you would go home and in your quiet time daily you will look up those scriptures and god can give you watch this a better revelation than i got when you study and ask the holy spirit for wisdom so i'm gonna give you um categories four categories of gifts in the bible and write this down and go study it on your own time there are motivational gifts according to romans 12. there's motivational gifts according to romans 12. i cannot go through them all right now but i want you to go through them the one that i'm going to talk about today is that there's manifestation gifts in first corinthians 12 and we're going to walk through all of those today then there are ministry gifts found in first corinthians 14 so you need to walk through that whole thing and then there are ministerial gifts found in ephesians 4 and these are the gifts of jesus this is the pastor prophet teacher evangelist apostle and i don't have time to go through all of that today but there are gifts that we get as a benefit of believing in jesus my question to you is how many gifts have you left unwrapped excuse me how many gifts have you left unopened they're still wrapped up you've got them and you have access to them but they are still unopened because you're scared of what somebody else will think about it because somebody was weird who taught about it no no no i'm gonna dispel all that today and i want you to get these gifts so you can actually benefit everybody say benefit this is the thing i need you to understand you don't have the gifts the holy spirit possesses these gifts and you have the holy spirit let me back up because some of y'all was like hold on i thought you said i got access to the gifts you do because the holy spirit the person of the holy spirit possesses all nine of these gifts and because you accept the holy spirit now you have access to all these gifts people like i have the gift of prophecy no you don't the holy spirit has the gift of prophecy and because you listen to the holy spirit you can prophesy i'm going to help you so many people have walked around claiming something that they can't do on demand they've walked around holding these titles and going to another place and call me prophetess and prophet and this and all i'm good i'm good with your titles as long as you know you are not the gift holder and that's why it's so backwards that a prophetess or a pastor or somebody would make somebody feel smaller because they're not on a platform and the same holy spirit that's speaking to you up there is the same holy spirit speaking to me on the floor of my daughter's room telling me to write down that this building would be ours this is what i've got to calm down this is what i'm trying to tell you right now is you don't have the gifts the holy spirit has the gifts and because you have the holy spirit you have access everybody say access to nine gifts how can i make it plain um okay there we go bella my daughter thinks she has an ipad she don't have no ipad she ain't bought an ipad she don't pay the payments for the ipad she does not have an ipad but she has a daddy and because she has a daddy she has access to the ipad and if you ask her this is my ipad but when it comes down to it the only reason she is able to benefit is because of her relationship all i'm trying to say with you your relationship with the holy spirit is more important than anything that you've ever manifested or made known because he's the one that is an endless source of understanding an endless source of creativity and in the source of wisdom and you somehow thought you made that up and you thought that was your idea and what i'm telling you is that the holy spirit is the one that gives the gifts so let me run through all nine of these because it's going to it's going to take a minute okay um god lee i don't know how i'm going to do this because i could preach a whole message on each one of these things y'all ready can i go wrap it through them so i can show you what it is there's three categories of these nine gifts the first are the discerning gifts okay and these are all found in scripture in first corinthians the first one is a word of knowledge write this definition down a word of knowledge is to know something specific without having learned it by natural means the holy spirit carries a gift that you can have access to as he wields of a word of knowledge you see it in jesus's life when he's with the woman at the whale and some of y'all would say well no jesus is god no remember that he laid down all of his divinity to be able to rely on the holy spirit to be an example for us so he's with the woman at the well and and and jesus says um tell your husband to come here and she says well i don't have a husband he said that's right because you have five husbands and the one that you're with he's not your husband right now she said i think he's a prophet that was a word of knowledge and what you can walk into when you go into that board room and you don't know what to say is you can say holy spirit give me a word of knowledge tell me what i need to say that i don't know the physics of how all of this works and the science behind all of this but i know you know everything so give me a word of knowledge i can't tell you how many rooms i've walked in had no earthly understanding of what they were saying and they said three words and the holy spirit illuminated what i was supposed to say in that meeting are they looking at me like how long have you studied this and i'm looking at them like oh please don't find me out but it was the holy spirit giving a word of knowledge that is a gift that is available to you through the holy spirit the next one a word of wisdom a word of wisdom is a divine answer or solution for a particular event you can have an answer for something that you don't know but he knows and it allows to come through you i use this every day pastoring this church i get words of wisdom do you remember bree when um we were in um a very very very tough situation as a staff and we were trying to figure out who to hire in a specific situation and bree and me leave a meeting praying she goes to sleep wakes up in the morning she said i got it mike i know who it is and i'm calling them right now and i said um god didn't speak to me about it god god didn't he didn't tell me the pastor he didn't give me insight that's not what i said i said what is the word of wisdom what did he tell you see because when you realize that you're around people that have the holy spirit in them the answer comes from him but it can come through anybody the answer does not have to come from me to be him and because i was secure that i had a friend and a partner that heard the holy spirit this is why it's so important who you marry because you don't know which way to go unless the holy spirit leads you in some certain situations and you need to make sure that you are hearing and you don't both have to hear it as long as you know one of y'all is actually hearing it and god spoke to brie and we called that person and just the right moment and the right time and god lined everything up and now she's an intricate part of our staff what did god do he gave bree in that moment the answer to a particular problem that we weren't even thinking about it was a word of wisdom and i need you to begin to know that this is an available gift a benefit of the holy spirit in your life the last one in this category of the discerning of gifts this is called the discerning of spirits to be made aware of the presence of a demonic spirit this one the church has to up your game because some of y'all be taking pictures with devils birthday and i can see the spirit but you're not you're not discerning of spirits you thought they were coming to just connect with you but they are going to connect with you and they're going to keep you in a cycle for the next five months and if you don't have people around you that can discern spirits another this is not spooky this is a benefit like if your marriage is jacking up and there's a demonic attack against the the unity of your household wouldn't you like to be able to see that spirit coming and be able to attack it and bind it and lose it because you can see it you never fight an enemy you don't think it's there and so many of us are getting wore out cause we can't see the enemy i'm gonna have to do a whole series on this y'all but a spiritual gift that the holy spirit brings is the discerning of spirits since we're on the topic of correcting things can i correct something else real quick there's no gift of discernment people get it from this scripture and people should discern but there's no gift of discernment what i found is when people say i have the gift of discernment really they have the spirit of being critical and what they end up doing is they start reading people that tears them down and they say i have the spirit of discernment biblically there's no spirit of discernment so you just sound a little left when you say that there is the discerning of spirits which is so that you can edify each other [Applause] help me holy spirit when i see somebody hanging with somebody that has an evil spirit and i discern that i don't go to the person and start reading that person i go to the person that needs to be safe and i say hey listen the relationship that you have with them it seems amazing but there's such a call of god on your life and it's very crucial who you have being able to speak into your life at this season i want to encourage you to make sure that the people that are around you are lifting you up are praying for you are leading you towards this this person seems good but i just deserve i have a spiritual discernment a gift that the holy spirit has given me not something that i'm claiming that i'm the only one that has but it's something that the holy spirit showed me and i want to let you know that if you do nothing with this i'm praying for you and i'm praying for that relationship oh excuse me and actually do it can we normalize not saying i'ma pray for you if you're not actually gonna pray for them like if you gonna actually pray for them some of y'all need to just stop and do it then cause you know you lying if you're gonna walk away from that conversation and start praying for them i'm on one today pray for your pastor so the discerning gifts are a word of knowledge word of wisdom and the discerning of spirits and and that is the first three let me give you the second three they're the declarative gifts these are gifts that the holy spirit brings who brings them who brings them who gets to benefit from them who gets to benefit me i want you to understand this that we have gifts that we get to benefit from and the next three are declarative gifts ones that use your mouth and all three of these gifts are for edification encouragement and watch this not correction i gotta help you because this first one a lot of people use for correction the first gift is prophecy and prophecy is a message of encouragement from god through a person and i've heard so many people stand people up and read them up and down and say you're just gonna have to deal with it thus says the lord a message of encouragement from god through a person be careful of putting your opinions out there and saying thus says the lord jeremiah tells us very clearly be careful there are consequences for saying god said and he didn't like i am very normalized with my team and staff of being like y'all i don't know if this is god or not but i feel like they respect me more for not throwing the god card out there in prayer last night at 4 00 a.m why is it always at 4am you're not asleep at 4am i'm sleepy most of the time at 4am but you could say on my way to to work today i felt like and if it's god say it's god but if it's not god keep your mouth shut because prophecy is a word of encouragement from god through regular people okay first corinthians 14 31 because people are looking at me they tight right now watch this for you can all prophesy can we go back and say read that one more time for you can say it oh prophet i don't care what your past has been and i don't care how many mistakes you've made once you release the holy spirit in your life you have the ability and the availability to prophesy to speak something that is to come for the encouragement of people that are listening it says for you can all prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be encouraged it's bible so be weary of somebody that tells you to pay them 99 i'm messing up somebody's whole 2022 right now but be leery of somebody that tells you to pay a 99 to get a prophetic word and then all they do is tear you down and tell you how prophecy is for encourage me let me just move on because i'm getting in trouble right there the declarative gifts the next one is tongues what happened everybody got quiet on that one huh tongues watch a message from god in a language unknown to the person through whom the message comes tongues is not scary tongues is not weird all it is is a message from god in a language unknown to the person i don't know this language through whom the message comes next week i'm spending the entire service talking about speaking in tongues you do not want to miss the revelation that is coming next week and about your heavenly language but there's a couple of things i want to make clear in this sermon there is a difference as you study the word between the gift of tongues and the grace of tongues okay the gift of tongues is when you start speaking in the heavenly language and you're speaking to another man or woman it needs interpretation this is the scriptural reference for me so when i start going in my tongues but i'm talking or speaking to somebody the bible tells me it needs interpretation then there is the grace of tongues which is to god and it is our prayer language they sound the same but who you are directing them to delineates how where and when you're supposed to do this nobody ever taught me this but if i'm speaking in tongues over a person or to a person the bible says interpret that let them know what that actually says which we're going to get to in a minute because that's another gift of the holy spirit it's not just tongues it's tongues and the interpretation of tongues but when you start praying in your heavenly language it sounds the same but it's directed to god and the bible tells us that when we pray in the spirit we begin to pray the groanings the mind and the will of the father we don't know how to pray as we are and we begin to speak things into existence that we couldn't form with regular language it is better for us to pray in our tongues when we're talking to god but it is not better when we're talking to somebody else i know nobody's told you this but you got to be able to interpret let me help you first corinthians 14 27 if anyone speaks in a tongue let there be two or at the most three each in turn and let one of them people interpret i didn't hear what you and god just said help me be edified so interpret but we leave this out because we have not understood it so i'm going to help you but if there is no interpreter let him keep silent in church is the bible i know you this the part you don't like and let him speak to himself so you can still do it to yourself and to go so when i'm in church and i begin to speak in tongues i'm not doing it as a filler because i forgot what i was going to say because you forgot the scripture you were supposed to go to i i just got to be honest with you it has become habit more than holy it's a habit that you have of hey da like you just felt something and instead of saying that felt good you say it's a habit that many times you picked up from somebody else that was ignorant of the truth [Music] and you're not a bad person if this is your habit i just want you to know what scripture says about it so that you can govern yourself accordingly i come into services and worship is going and i speak in tongues to myself it says you can still speak in tongues to yourself and to god so when i'm in a situation and i'm sitting over here before every service on my knees you better believe i'm not speaking out of my understanding i don't have that but i'm not getting up here to you and speaking in tongues why i'm going to show it right here go to first corinthians 14 23. therefore if the whole church comes together in one place like we are today and all speak with tongues and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers will they not say these people lost their mind but if all prophesy or speak in english make it clear and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes into that service he will be convinced by all he will be convicted by all and thus the secrets of his heart will be revealed and so falling down on his face because i didn't speak in tongues out of habit i made it plain what god was saying he will worship god and report that god is truly among you that's nasty bible that at some point you're gonna have to grapple with i'm not coming to tell you that you're wrong or you're right i'm just gonna put the bible out here and i'm gonna let you have to wrestle with what you have done for many years how you have felt about people that don't speak in tongues and maybe that there is a difference in what we do in church and what we do in our quiet time the problem is most of you don't have a devotion life outside of this time so if you can't get your full expression off within 90 minutes of this service you feel like somebody's quenching you baby you should be praying every day you should be going to god i don't not have 20 minutes that i'm not praying i am in my car in my shower at the bank i am praying and seeking god's will but if you leave your whole relationship with god relocate it to an hour on sunday mornings you will be depleted and unhealthy and so what god is saying is yeah yeah you should pray in tongues all the time but when we come into this because somebody once asked me why don't you be praying in tongues pastor mike on sunday mornings it's because i have the uninformed and the unbeliever at thousands at the numbers of thousands watching the same holy spirit is here though and he's given me words of wisdom how many of y'all have said how did he know that it seemed like pastor mike's talking directly to me that's the same power of the holy spirit at work touching individual situations and we have how many people have gotten saved this year at tc how many oh almost 30 000 people have gotten saved now what now now listen the bible's telling us if i would have just sat up here for two hours and spoke in tongues they wouldn't have got it all i'm telling you is that tongues is so powerful but it's now in a place for us to have the understanding to be able to know when where and how when we come together in a staff meeting with our team you better believe if you turn the camera on in there you gonna hear robocop all of us should have bought a honda and couldn't tie my bow tie you're gonna hear all of it but when i come here on sunday mornings i'm gonna make sure everything that i have i have an interpretation for so that it can be profitable for the hero so the third one in that category is the interpretation of tongues and write this definition down it's understanding and expressing the thought or the intent of the message in tongues so i need to clarify this there's a difference between um translation and interpretation so somebody can speak in tongues and what the bible said is there needs to be a a interpretation not a translation so that's why you can hear somebody speak in tongues and then somebody will say i have an interpretation of that god says have peace and it was like hold on that baby he spoke in tongues for like 20 minutes and then and then he just said god said that doesn't match up it does because it's not a translation a translation it's word for word everything that's happening what god's calling for is an interpretation so you can have a long time of speaking in tongues and a short interpretation of that or you can have a short inter um speak time of speaking in tongues and a long interpretation of that why is that important because if you don't understand this god will speak to somebody i've been in tons of prayer circles where somebody begins to pray in the spirit and then somebody else on the other side of the room says god says that everybody needs to rest this is the season of rest and it was like god was speaking through that person and picked up in the other person and it gave all of us the ability whether you are a believer or an unbeliever now we can do that in front of anybody the scripture is very clear if you are going to do tongues in front of the uninformed and the unbeliever there must be interpretation because then even if they didn't get the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah when somebody says and god says there needs to be peace got it peace okay got that one okay peace i got that y'all get i'm trying to i'm trying to take something that's really big and disarm it but this is the truth of god's word first corinthians 14 i need everybody to take this down because you're gonna have to write you're gonna have to wrestle with this first corinthians 14 5. i wish you all spoke with tongues who wrote this somebody says paul wrote it paul penned it but the holy spirit wrote that and even if you like i don't believe okay this is the greatest apostle that ever walked the face of the earth wrote one-third of the new testament that's one-third more than you so i just want us to be very clear that this is his language and theology i wish you all spoke with tonks for every person that came from a denomination that spoke against this for every person that had a weird auntie that just threw anointing oil on you instead of feeding you you know it's like i gotta eat like the holy spirit will fill you up like no i'm hungry y'all don't know there's some weird stuff out here all i'm saying is forget all of that the greatest apostle that ever lived said i wish you all spoke with tongues and it says but even more than that that you prophesied for he who so he's saying he's bringing value to the other gifts he's saying for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues unless there's an interpretation that the church would receive what edification it's about building each other up it's about helping people see what they can't see it's about using these gifts of the spirit to build up your children and build up your husband and build up your mother and build up your wife and build up the people in your department everybody say build them up and why is it in the church that we think that for us to get ahead we got to tear somebody down maybe we're not working in the holy spirit let me give you the last three the dynamic gifts and this is the gifts i like these that word dynamic comes from the word dunamis and that word means power these are the power gifts and it actually means explosive power like the dunamis these are explosive gifts that will be unlocked and released and whose gifts are they the holy spirit but who gets the benefit me i can walk in the explosive power of these gifts every day of my life the first one is faith this my womb it's a supernatural impartation of belief and confidence for a specific situation when pastor mike got that word that the spirit bank event center would be transformation church the holy spirit imparted me the dunamis explosion power of faith into my life and i walk in this this is my life story me and the holy spirit i mean if you ask anybody on the team anybody around i have the gift of faith that the holy spirit provides to me daily i just have supernatural belief yeah this can happen and god's going to do it and he's going to make a way and there's going to be more like i have the supernatural ability to believe and i'm not special you have access to the explosive gift of faith you don't got to wish yourself happy you just need to ask the holy spirit god i've been in this bad situation over and over holy spirit release the gift of faith on me let me be able to believe you like never before let me let me be able to stand and this is the thing this gift of the holy spirit and these gifts of the holy spirit it's just god breathing into the situation it's in the new testament it's there's types and shadows in the old testament let me tell you something i found out in the scripture you remember our father of faith what's his name abraham and and his name was not abraham first what was it abram and what god did was put an h in his name and the the ancient way that you say that is rua and it means spirit of god or the breath of god so what god did was take him from a mortal man and he put his spirit how do you say an h he you have to breathe out to be able he put his spirit in abraham and now he becomes the father of our faith because he had the spirit of god on the inside of him and you know he did the same thing to sarai his wife's name was sarai and he took out the eye that'll preach by itself if you would take out the eye i don't feel like it i don't know what people will think about that i don't want people if you take out the eye and put in the spirit of the god power of god would be able to come into your life and change everything i'm preaching up here i don't care what nobody's saying listen you can have the dynamic gift of faith how many people need more faith for situations come on let's be if you have the holy spirit you have access to faith the next one is gifts of healing and this is a dunamis power gift supernatural endowments of divine health can i tell you that there are situations that you're going to the doctor for that there's nothing wrong with the doctor that before you go to the doctor you could literally say holy spirit give me the gift of healing your son took stripes on the cross so that i could be healed why are you telling us this pastor might you never can open a gift that you don't know you have so many people don't know that the gift of and it's plural healings it's not the gift of healing it's the gift of healing you can believe for the gift of healing for somebody else i remember when we were in youth ministry there was a young lady that we knew and we loved that was diagnosed with cancer and to watch these young people who had just met the holy spirit still crazy still probably doing all kind of dumb stuff but for some reason it was like the holy spirit gave our youth ministry the gifts of healing to watch young kids who just had their hand on a blunt put their hand on this young girl and begin to believe that god would heal her and today the cancer that was tumors in our brain is gone y'all don't hear me in the building right now that there are gifts of healing that god wants to release to you the same way he wants to release faith and even as i'm saying that some of you are challenged in your thought process but god ain't scared he's never been intimidated by a doctor's report and he's never been intimidated by what and how long somebody has dealt with something ask the woman with the issue of blood oscar was 12 years too long but still at the moment that she reached out and touched the hem of his garment something that she went to every doctor for one touch from god changed everything last one in the dynamic gifts the working of miracles divine intervention that alters natural circumstances can i just ask you a question how many people in your life have experienced a miracle hands lifted all over the all over the world dang that's a lot of people what makes you think god stopped doing them i just no no i know you grew up you got bills or you you dealt with the harsh realities of a sin filled world and how there's injustice in and wrong things and it reigns on the just and the unjust but god never stopped doing miracles he did them in the old testament he did them in the new testament you just saw all the people around you he's done them in our lives what makes you think that the holy spirit does not want to give us the gift of working miracles can i help you you don't need to wait in a line to get one specific person to pray for you the holy spirit is available to you everybody say right now like at this moment if there's anything ailing you in your body touch that spot right now come on i know i feel the presence of god right now if anything i'm about to prove to you and we're going to get testimonies i feel the presence of god we're going to get testimonies from people who the holy spirit i need y'all to begin to pray and believe right now holy spirit come on ask him holy spirit do a miracle in my life holy spirit do a miracle some people are holding their necks and some people are holding their heads and some people are touching their heart and some people are touching their ankle and thyroid i want you to begin to ask the holy spirit holy spirit could you give me the gift of working of miracles right now father they say the miracles don't happen anymore but right now god i'm thanking you that you're gonna do a miracle right now and the miracles are gonna be a sign and a wonder for the unbelievers father do it in us right now yeah we're that church that believes in miracles we're that church that believes that god can still do the impossible if you want to go somewhere else you can but we're that church that will see god still do the things that everybody else says is impossible and what but better gift on mother's day for some of you mothers that god do a miracle that that wayward son who's far away from you oh i'm talking about a miracle something that would take divine intervention i'm talking about a miracle come on i'm talking about a miracle something that would allow every definition that has been set up into this point to be defied these are the gifts of the holy spirit let me sit down and talk to y'all um let me just let me be real clear the holy spirit has gifts that he wants you to access every day and if you're living without the power of the holy spirit working in your everyday life you are missing out on such a powerful amazing awesome benefit of having the holy spirit with you where's the evidence pastor mike it's not evidence it's what benefits but i did this whole thing to tell you there is evidence there is evidence that the holy spirit lives in you and it's not speaking in tongues do you want to know what the evidence is that the holy spirit actually has taken up residence and you've released them in your life it's found in galatians galatians 5. they're called the fruits of the spirit for these are the fruit or the evidence you only get fruit if something was actually planted there i'ma walk you through this you can't get an apple if an apple seed was never planted it can look like an apple tree but the only evidence that there was an actual apple seed put there is the fruit so can i tell you that there is evidence if the holy spirit really does live in you and it's the fruit of your life and the fruits of the spirit are what help me love joy huh pete that no y'all let's read it they don't even get it go to go to galatians 5 22 but the fruit or the evidence of the spirit that you have them is what love joy say it all out peace long-suffering kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control against such there is no law can you write this point down if you really have the holy spirit the proof is in your fruit i've met more mean tongue-talking christians you ain't got no evidence you're selfish and mean but you can speak in tongues there's no proof that you have the holy [Music] spirit you can prophesy but you're not kind to people ain't this what it says you can speak mysteries but you're not faithful you don't keep your word we can't trust you at all but you know what thus says the lord there's no fruit stop telling me because you can shout you got i feel the spirit no you're mean and because you're mean and you're selfish and you do not keep your word there's no evidence of the holy spirit being in you it's the bible if the holy spirit is in you it should produce fruit in your life and if there's no fruit don't check the seed check the soil it's tight but it's right happy mother's day let me just prove it to you with one more scripture because i just need you to know that it would be better for us to display love joy peace long-suffering kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control it would be better for us to do that that would prove the spirit actually controls us then dancing speaking in tongues prophesying to everybody all of that stuff is good but the proof the evidence that people see in your life do you know who the greatest testimony is of or the greatest witness witnesses are if you actually have the holy spirit your kids and family you can fool everybody out here but the fact your kids don't love god the fact the people around you can't stand to be around you they feel forced to celebrate you there's no fruit what i'm trying to come and tell you is it's time for the fruitless church to get planted again and to come back to a place where you say holy spirit feel me again fill me up let me not just be able to prophesy and speak in tongues and do this let me love people who look nothing like me and have done me wrong god let me be long-suffering with that youth or that child or that team member that gets my last nerve you know the one that's back here and i only got three nerves and they dancing on this last nerve let me be long suffering remember the holy spirit comes to empower you to do what you cannot naturally do on your own it is hard for me to love people i don't like it is hard for me to have joy when y'all make me mad and i'm depressed it is hard for me to have peace when everything's going chaotic around me it's hard for me to be kind when i was raised in a toxic household it's hard for me to see goodness in others when i don't see goodness in myself it's hard for me to be faithful when i'm suspicious of everybody leaving me it's hard to be gentle when i've only be been handled harsh it's hard for me to have self-control when i'm used to doing whatever i feel but the holy spirit oh i feel that thing right now but everybody say but the holy spirit you can put that in front of anything i used to do this but the holy spirit i can't usually stand people like this but the holy spirit i usually would fall right here but the holy spirit you better put a but the holy spirit in front of everything you're going through i would have left this marriage but the holy spirit [Music] [Applause] transformation church would have been another one hit three-year success story but the holy spirit somebody say but the holy spirit and that's why i'm just trying to get us to understand don't leave eight of the nine gifts on the table get the benefits and have the evidence get the benefits and have the evidence have the nine gifts that we get because we have the holy spirit but then have the evidence of the fruits of the spirit i'll sum it up at first corinthians 13. there's a lot of bible but it's so good i don't even want to add no words to it if you speak in the tongues that's what we just talked about of men and angels so you got your heavenly language together and you got your language to people together okay but do not have love i am only a resounding gong or a clapping symbol is this what we look like to people a church full of symbols who when you come to your church when you open your mouth [Music] just a bunch of noise you go to your workplace well i have an idea let's hear your idea [Music] go to your family reunion because you don't have love and you think you're better than them when you walk in there so what have you been doing johnny oh god's been good to me you get on a platform in front of a bunch of people [Music] god gave me a word for you today and that's the sound of many churches it's the praise and worship leader we don't hear his presence [Music] this is how your small group looks this is how our family pictures look a bunch of noisy believers why because we can prophesy we can use all the gifts but there's no evidence if you don't have love just like a noisy symbol and if you have the gifts of prophecy and can and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge and never have all the faith these are all the things that we just talked about that can move mountains but do not have what love evidence i am nothing if i give all my possessions to the poor and give over my body to hardship that i may boast but do not have love i gain nothing love is patient love is kind it does not envy it does not boast it's not proud it does not dishonor others it is not self-seeking it is not easily angered it keeps no records of wrongs love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth it always protects always trust always hopes always persevere love never fails and that love can only be empowered by the holy spirit but where there are prophecies they will cease where there are tongues they will be stealed y'all this is the bible where there is knowledge it will pass away for we know in part and we prophesy in part but when completeness comes what is in part disappears when i was a child look at it we're going back to maturity see we always quote this scripture but we quote it out of context we don't know where it comes from this is talking about us being spiritually mature because we have evidence in the fruit in our lives it says for when i was a child um i talked like a child i thought like a child i reason like a child i'm an add one i sounded like a scientist [Music] but when i became a man i put childish things away for now we see only a reflection as in a mirror then we shall see face to face now i know in part then i shall know fully even as i am fully known and now these three remain my dad used to say this scripture to us all the time faith hope and love but the greatest of these is love it's the evidence that the spirit of god works in you that you can love people your heavenly language without love is just loud these gifts all nine of them are from the holy spirit and he wants you to take advantage of every single one of them but some of you have ignored these gifts you know about them and there's nothing worse than an ignored gift something that somebody paid for and it's available but you just ignored it and then others of you have neglected this gift and some of us have been products of people who perverted these gifts but the holy spirit is here to empower you in everything that is hard in your life write that down the holy spirit is built to empower you in the heart whatever is hard for you the holy spirit said let me step into that let me help you with that let me give you let let me give you proof that i'm real and today all i want you to do is receive the gift of the holy spirit he's the gift and he comes with gifts remember i don't know if you've ever seen those little things that open up and then there's another one and you open them up there's another one and you open them up there's y'all know what i'm talking about my my family used to travel and it'd be like this weird looking man or woman on this little thing and and then you take one off and then there's another one and you take one off and it just keeps building jesus left us the holy spirit that was the gift but when you open that up there's more and you open that up there's more and you open that up there's more today receive the gift of the holy spirit pastor i'm like you've been going on this for four weeks now it's because i don't know how you're living without the empowerment of holy spirit i can't do it i can't be a good husband a show can't be a pastor i can't be a good son i cannot i don't have it within me to be able to do what i know god's called unless i have the empowerment of the holy spirit this is why people turn to substances it's because they buckle under the weight of life and they need something to empower them to stay consistent even if it's killing them we have many relationships that we go to success that we go to alcohol pills whatever it is the holy spirit is saying could i can i come in and give you the empowerment that you need and can i make it evident to people through love joy peace patience kindness can i make it evident that i changed you you know one of the craziest things that people say about me that knew me back in the day when i was wilding and now that know me now they say something's changed in you i mean you're the same person but like you've but something's different about you and all i can think in my mind is it's the holy spirit like the only thing that took me from being a liar and a manipulator and addicted to pornography was not that i had enough will not to look at the website you know how many times i failed that i tried that yeah it was like well since i've done it let's make it a weak binge of being in the wrong space and the enemy says yeah that's the good idea go further and further down the hole but when i get the empowerment of the holy spirit i can want to and not do it ain't nobody that real with you i can literally be in the place where i want like i'm i want to do this and the holy spirit will rise up on me so there's so much more in you all you have to do is call somebody right now call him and then he'll let somebody call me the person he told me to call why are they calling me pick up the phone hey i just gotta they don't call it this but they'll say i just had a word of wisdom because the holy spirit that was fighting with me in the temptation is the same holy spirit that speaks to them and if they listen to the holy spirit and say call mike right now why would i call mike right now he was trying i have a solution for something that he has a problem with and i want it to come through you and it's not sunday morning and it's not in the board meeting and it's not but you don't even know that i'm working major things out and that obedience to give me a word of wisdom was the same thing that kept me from giving in to my temptation and those were two gifts working but it was all the holy spirit that's a real story that really happened to your pastor and it continues to happen in different areas of our lives if we would receive the person of the holy spirit today today you can ask god to feel you well what happens is there a ritual or a ceremony no how did you get saved by faith when you get water baptized that's 15 000 of us are going to do in in two weeks how how does going down signify that my old life is gone and then coming up means that i have new i'm a new creation by faith how do you receive the baptism of the holy spirit by faith what everybody just put your hands out like you're getting ready to receive a gift just close your eyes just black out everybody else right now it doesn't matter who else is there god has a gift for you and it's the gift of the holy spirit and i'm just gonna pray and if you want if you want the gift of the holy spirit if you want to be able to have access to these gifts and have evidence in your life i'm going to ask you in just a moment not out loud like a trumpet to prove to somebody that you're saying i want the holy spirit i mean just in yourself even out loud i want you to ask the holy spirit to feel you yeah that's all we're going to do we're going to ask the holy spirit to fill us from the top of our heads to the souls of our feet and and we're going to ask him i feel i feel the presence of god wherever you are whether you're watching this live or on rebroadcast the holy spirit is there and he's coming with nine gifts and so much more that he wants to give you and if you're watching and you've been filled with the holy spirit but you want a you want a fresh feeling of the holy spirit you you want to be endowed and empowered you want that dunamis to come back to your life i want you to ask him you can prophesy it said we all can prophesy all nine of these gifts are usable for the edification and the holy spirit can allow the fruits of the spirit to be evidence to everybody around us today let's pray father i thank you [Music] i thank you that today you would fill us with the holy spirit from the top of our heads to the souls of our feet the same way that you did in matthew the same way you did in mark and luke and john in acts the same way you did with the disciples in the upper room the same way father

knowledge you're going to begin to speak in tongues god's going to give somebody interpretation of tongue you're going to move in the gift of faith you're going to move in the gift of miracles the holy spirit is available [Music] i hear so clearly the holy spirit saying don't rush out of this moment we're going to end service but you don't have to end your experience i'm gonna say that again
