I am in South Africa. I started listening to pastor Mike and transformation church last year and it has been changing my life every single day. I have had a hard time being a Christian for more than 16 years but he is opening up in my life what God really wants from me and I am so grateful. One day I hope I can visit transformation church because I don't think anyone could be changing my faith the way transformation church is.
God did a crazy faith story amongst the fading faith of my life. He showed me his faithfulness goes beyond my comprehension, he made a way all the way from South Africa for me. 🇿🇦 When I could not see it, but somewhere deep inside my spirit I chose to believe Him for it. God SURPASSED what I desired and revealed his state of Majesty and King of Kings. 😭🙌🏼 I hope my testimony encourages whoever may read this. GOD’s with you, run after what he’s instilled in your heart. Watch what happens! 😭❤️🔥
My sermon notes for "Start Sharp// strengthen your strength" week 2: 1.) The goal is to start sharp and stay sharp. Everything you think you can do well, you can do better 2.) You can only strengthen your strength by becoming a student again. You can't be too proud to fail at something you are strong at. 3.) God is expecting more from what he gave you. When you don't create, you critique. What if the gift was just to give God glory? Stir up the gift. You can't be concerned with the opinions of others in your purpose walk . The goal is not for people's appreciation but obedience. God does not have an age limit to your calling 4.) You need more room to do what God has calling you to do 5.) Break the contract with the lies you have believed 6.) Stand strong in your gift and stir it up. God is reminding you to stir up a gift that is already there 7.) We all have gifts, and they have come from God. God has not changed his mind about your gifts. Sometimes, it's more about what you are getting than what you are giving How do you know what your strengths are: 1.) Natural: These are gifts that come easy to you but are harder for others 2.) Named: These are gifts that loved ones and strangers can identify in you 3.) Nurtured: These are gifts that have been watered by your environment, encouragement, and effort 8.) Greatness is always nurtured What keeps you from strengthening your strength?: 1.)Comparisons 2.) Converting 3.) Complacency 4.) Comforting 9.) Flip the gift-- for the gifts who were mislabeled 10.) Strength submitted to God are success, but strength un-submitted to God becomes stress 11.) Make this the last time considering the gifts that God has given you as an option Strength prayer: Dear God, today I acknowledge that I am gifted ! I pray that you would help me stir up the gift you have placed on the inside me. Let your strength be my strength. In Jesus' name,amen. Scripture reference: 2 Timothy 1:6-7 James 1:17 Proverbs 22:6 Romans 12:2
Thank you Michael Todd I needed to hear this! Also my husbands name is Michael Todd! We were at a book store looking for self help books and he said I’m going to walk down this isle and see where spirit leads me, it led him to your book and so funny y’all have the same name! Unfortunately my husband has not even opened your book (4 months later!) but I discovered you on this channel not realizing it was you who wrote the book! Thank you for the message… my husband and I are working on our marriage although I feel like I’m the only one doing the work I pray my husband will eventually do his part
Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤as I drove up ⬆️ NORTH BY MYSELF TO BE BLESSED BY PASTOR MIKE TODD TO GET A WORD BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED OF SICK AND TIRED AND I TELL YOU!! I MUST BE ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY… CAUSE I HAVE BEEN KICKING UP DUST ALL THE WAY IN ME ON ME AND AROUND ME…. BUT THIS ONE THING I DO NO… I WANT IT OFF!!!

This message landed in my lap this morning confirming every thing I have been doing lately. Such confirmation from my Father. This is the funny part. I watched it at 6 a.m. at the kitchen table where I pray and study every morning. My poor (blessed 😂) husband's name is Wayman. I shouted, Amen!, so loud, that he came running out of a dead sleep to the kitchen because he thought I shouted his name in distress. 😅 I laughed so hard! I said, "No, babe, I shouted, Amen, not Wayman!" I am crying from laughing. He will laugh about it later. I am sure of that. Thank you for this message. I have to go get to strengthening!
South Africans...... We are definitely part of Transformation nation all the way.... I honestly thank God for pastor Mike and transformation church 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
This is a powerful, message ,l have so many gifts, and talent to offer but l always never do anything with it, from today l am going to invest in my self to put the gift out to the world,in Jesus name ❤
God, thank you for all of your many gifts. Forgive me for mishandling them and not using them, and give me the courage to use them to build your church. Amen.
Wow that makes sense my mind be all over the place and when i pray the holyspirit intercede and i pray and think about people i wasnt even thinking about until i go into prayer thank you @miketodd🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I pray God helps me see my strengths, so I can strengthen them. Sometimes it feels like I don’t even know them or I’m unsure. What am I good at ? I don’t do anything, I’m so worried for myself and my life. I want to figure my strengths out, I don’t know them Lord, help me. Don’t leave me
For The Past 2 years I have been obedient and waiting to release the album I worked on for 2 years ! And God has finally giving me the go to Flip what I thought was and what now will be ! ❤️🙌🏽
This sermon was amazing had me in tears the whole sermon. Every other point or example you gave was exactly what I'm currently dealing with. If didn't stay in another state I would 100 percent be in attendance to hear you preach!
Wow🎉 Shout to South Africa🎉I also pray that soon I will be sitting in the front row listene to your sermon and sharing with you how much of an impact you have had in my life. I thank God for you and your gift of preaching and helping us to become transformed. 🙌
Glory to God! This was so good and so on time, I'm that 'good with helping persons, hospitality and admin, I'm literally working for our church for 3 days a week, my main source of income and though it doesn't pay all the bills, It's the best job I have doing admin, I would have done it free
Enjoyed this sermon, teaching, and encouragement!! I’m a poet and have backed off the gift, back encouraged to strengthen my strength… ✨🔥🔥🔥✨ Thanks Mike Todd for your obedience to deliver this message!!! 📖 ♥️🔥
Transformation Church [Mike Todd] pray for me because I don't know what Gift God has given me and even if I know I request holy spirit to have way so that I will straiten my gift and my routine is to Pray for God to give me strength.
10:45 minutes in- Hallelujah! Thank you YAHWEH for SPEAKING to me! I have been sleeping on my art skills/ambitions and growing them in recent years when I KNOW God’s called me to sharpen them and then opportunity and connection will come. I’m literally in school for graphic design/animation right now so this.. was just nothing but confirmation🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
ohhhh, i felt like i wanted Ps Mike to keep going, this surely got me. slapped the reality into my head, thank you transformation church. following live from Uganda.
God has been working miracles in my life I came from being consumed with a lot of spirits that attached their self to me and I learned through the years how to close doors but right now I’m like you’re helping me close these doors and helping me with prayers I don’t knowand I need and I thank you
Let’s be honest here❤ I have been craving for that too. I felt in my spirit that I needed to strengthen my strength more specifically my goodwill and determination to stand strong and courageous to protect our heavenly Father’s investment in me and the people he made me leader for. I have been looking for teachings that could confirm that need and I found this. Thank you, Dear Pastor❤
4:05 Oklahoma is actually in the South, not the Midwest. That’s why we don’t know how to deal with snow-cause we *aren’t* from the Midwest. 😅 But Pastor Mike’s right about people stopping to help. I wasn’t even old enough to drive the first time I helped push a car that was stuck. My dad was the one that pulled over to help, but I followed the adults. And there were at least six adults and one kid (me) pushing that vehicle, which made it super easy. It took hardly any effort, because there were so many people working together to help that driver get his car into a parking lot for safety.
When pastor Mike spoke about anxiety 🤦🏾 it hit home and I am going to flip my gift 🙏🏾
Yes!!! It hit me in the gut
right, in tears. I always wonder why do i have a hard time focusing and ADHD became known, but i was told years ago i was a prayer worrier.
Amen!!!
Ohhh yess that was for me too 🙌🏾
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽So it will be-“Amen!”

Good morning and apologies for the lateness but what are Paster Mike Todd's daughters using to help with their fasting or understanding of it?
He would rather God to speak to him rather than reading his Bible
Where are the DIGs videos?
Did the title mean stay sharp ? Or start sharp ? Not being a jerk just trying to help correct if it was in fact an accident.
Start
