Too Far On One Side // Gap Standers 2026 // Pastor Michael Todd

All right, get out your notes. I got a quick assignment um Because I'm uniquely positioned in these type of conferences because I've been in them all my life I've seen it all I've seen I've seen seen a lot and And after I became a pastor, I realized that there's something happening in the body of Christ right now that doesn't get addressed as Directly as it should be and tonight at Gap Standards 2026 on night two I'm gonna be your friend, but I'm gonna talk to you real real directly I Hope you still love me after this message, but if you don't I'm good. My wife is here But I feel I feel like I have to um address something that I continue to see I Continue to see God's people be spiritually Prosperous Yet personally impoverished I've seen it for decades Can shout can sing can pray in international tongues. I don't even know what that is Yet they're relationally bankrupt No Friends no community Financially ruined you can believe but you don't pay your bills I'm gonna say what it is tonight Senior stump the devil out Done Every prophetic gestured and chopped the axe done leaped over walls done And won't exercise Okay, okay, you're praying that your cholesterol comes down But tonight you're going to a 24-hour establishment To commit sin through gluttony

I Wouldn't tonight so good wouldn't it all felt the presence when they sang that song my miracles on the way Can I get two apple pies? I believe I'm just I'm just saying you have all the encouraging words for people outside of your house But you have no grace for your children I Told you sit down show up No girl, I just hallelujah. Oh I'll beat Okay, y'all want to okay, I've seen it with my own eyes And I'm telling you right now That that is not the abundant life That Christ came for us to have It's incongruent It's schizophrenic There are too many people under the sound of my voice that are suffering from a schizophrenic spirituality We don't know which one of you we're gonna get today, okay, all right We have no idea if you're gonna be the nice usher out there today or if you're gonna cuss us out cuz you didn't get your seat This is my parking spot I've been going to this turn for 72 year I put the stripes on this parking lot There's only seven of y'all that go to the church Park anywhere I've seen it With my own eyes I've experienced The same people that create atmospheres that call heaven down be a hoe Or y'all thought I was gonna say not holy a hoe They left the ly off of it And pray just enough to get back on the keyboard pray just enough to get back on the drums play Justin I've seen people claim spiritual sons and daughters and not talk to their blood sons and daughters Well they disrespected me that was 19 years ago and they did it because they felt like you valued

the call of God on your life more than you valued them so they went searching for something else and in a moment of their neglect they did disrespect you but you weren't emotionally adept to understand that God needed you to go speak to them in the point of their need and now you got sons and daughters all over the world and don't know your own child's birthday I've seen it today I just want to let you know very simply that's not how God wants you to live so the greatest tragedy and travesty of this conference would be that you would come in here and get pregnant with purpose and then walk out of here and live an incongruent life and some of y'all don't even think I'm talking to you because you've done it so long it's just your regular life you one cut off away from cussing somebody out but in here you have the karate chop tongues and the button y'all know what I'm talking about mama got him to I can say stuff nobody else can say up here and then she get them lower oh don't don't don't bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow like it's like a 70s karate movie where is that enemy no let me stop okay what I'm saying it what I'm saying is all of that is useful and necessary as long as it matches your real life and today I just want to help you make a decision because some of you are too far on one side today the title of my message is too far on one side a lot of people in this room are too far on one side this is the subtitle I wrote down for the people who need to know what is he talking about it takes more than prayer and it also takes more than a plan y'all know what I'm talking about some of y'all just on the prayer side cancer I'm just gonna pray I'm not even gonna tell nobody I got it oh I've seen this with my own I'm not I'm not even gonna matter of fact I ain't even going to the doctor I'm not even gonna get the results I'm just God heal me yes but you too far on one side because everything that God does spiritually he matches it practically I knew that a man's was gonna get low in here cuz you got an email in your inbox right now that you still ain't opened cuz the results would be the truth I ain't accepting it no no no no no no no no Jesus came so that we could actually know the truth and then the truth would set us many of you in this room are thinking that the truth is demonic it's real tight in here and I know that I it's okay the truth is you're mean you do have amazing prayer life miracles and signs and wonders do follow you people don't People can't, because everywhere you plead the blood, there's also the blood of all the people you slaughtered. All I'm saying to you is, the truth is, for the last two decades, you've been bitter. You can preach on unforgiveness, but you cannot practice it.

I'm asking you to do a check on your own life right now, because you might be too far on one side. Now, now, it's not just the people who pray, because some of y'all, if I just get a plan, no, I just need to know how it's going to work out. No, y'all don't go to the prayer conference, I'm going to the planning meeting. If I get a plan, I bet you I'm going to work the plan. I bet you the plan going to work out. I bet you my plan, and look at you. You're on the seventh business, the third wife, oh, y'all don't ... Because if it worked out, how many people just wish your plan would have worked out? Come on, you put it on paper, you wrote the Habakkuk to do, I wrote the vision and made it plain. Lord, what's wrong with this paper? I did it, in crazy favor, I read his book. But what you forgot to mix is the Bible says many are the plans of a man, but it's God's purpose that prevails, so you don't need to just plan. You might be too far on one side. You're going to hear a prophetic word, and God's going to show you what the future looks like, and then you're just going to stay over here and pray? Your book is going to go to the world. God, thank you that you're going to drop this book in my lap. I see words and paragraphs, semicolons. I see beautiful sonnets, I see poems, God, I see italicized words. Do you know how many of y'all have things that God has already blessed that are still on the inside and you're praying about, God, just give me the right connection, just God, give me the thing. If God brought you what you needed to finish the product and gave it to you right now, it still wouldn't happen because you have nothing in your hands that proves that you actually believe the word of God. You might be too far on one side.

All I'm trying to say to you is God tells us in John 10, verse 10, that the thief comes to do nothing else, but to do what, y'all know the word, steal, kill, and destroy. Guess what? He doesn't have to do that if you're impotent. If you are unproductive, he does not have to steal, kill, and destroy anything from you. If you are not producing, if you are not obeying, if you are not walking out the ... The devil is not scared of you getting a prophetic word because you're a great listener, but you're still lazy. You can be called to the nations and still do nothing. Oh my God. How many journals do you have full of what God told you he would do? The proof you don't believe it is there was no actual action after he said it. This is why I'm telling you tonight, some of you guys are going to be believing for a miracle that God is, watch this, not going to do ... I know you've never heard this. He's not going to do it because he gave you the power to do it. I could have y'all shouting and jumping and all that, and you would leave here doing the same thing. This is transformation church. If you're coming into this place, I'm going to give you a word that's going to cause you to be forced to say either I'm going to stay the same or I'm about to change. What I'm saying to you right now is God is never going to do for you what you have the power to do. I'll prove it to you with a scripture. How many people want to be wealthy? This is not a trick question. How many ... It's like, I don't know now. I mean, maybe, I think, maybe. Let's try it again. Hey

The same how many people want to be wealthy Financially spiritually emotionally all that. Okay All right, she was scared over there. She's I don't even know no more Okay, here we go god's not going to make you wealthy The bible says that god gives you the ability to Produce Well, this means God never gives wealth He gives ability God meet my knees God. I'm sewing God. I'm praying God. I'm dancing God. I'm doing everything and he said and you're not working. I Gave you ability I'm not going to give you the result. I'm going to give you the power And now you got to work it in the middle And church I'm telling you this is where we are wasting our energy We are we are in spiritual sideways energy We are tarrying for things that just need discipline and We're praying away things that God has called us to actually confront and Tonight I just want to let you know at gap standards. I want you to just evaluate Are you too far? On one side are you all practical? And I don't believe in that I heard him say witches last night and I was like witches Y'all know I know I know y'all pay witches and we're like, uh-uh It ain't Halloween in here. I Don't do widgets. Okay But the Bible tells us that the spiritual world is real He tells we don't wrestle against flesh and blood But there's principalities and powers and rulers of dark ages and at the moment of the mention you like I'm gonna just stay over here in my corner and do the practical and God said you better get your spirit, man

That warfare that you've been going through and you've been just saying I'm just been stressed know the enemy's been after your mind He's been trying to Generationally keep you in a place where you don't have courage to do what God told you to do And I'm telling you there's no amount of plans. No amount of chat GPT's no matter calming methods No amount of melatonin that's gonna take that away Some of y'all gonna have to cast down every vain imagination that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God I have peace in the name of Jesus. I am confident in who God's made me I am called to what he's told me you got to get back to the other But right on the inverse There's Saints over here as reading scriptures and praying and what you need is therapy I I Know I know I know some of y'all came from the silent generation And that silence is killing you That trauma that happened to you when you were a teenager or a child You've been stuffing it down. You've been insecure for 50 years Because somebody stole your innocence And you've never told anybody And the Bible tells us that we do not have to wrestle with these things alone Do y'all remember what the Bible says in James? He said he said confess your sins One to another pray for each other and Then healing come what that tells me is healing comes in community You want healing to come by the man or woman of God laying hands on you And he said that may be a catalyst to some type of breakthrough in your life, but you want long-lasting healing Who have you told you're still angry? Who who have you admitted to that you are bitter because you didn't get that position at that church And that's why you started your own church on Facebook You got the longest name in history can't even fit Don't got a picture yourself got some logo you put with a cross, a lion, a lamb, a robe, a ripped veil. We don't know what that is. There's no clue what that is. And then you're going to have a nine-letter acronym for your

church name. We're not remembering that. But what I'm telling you is it was bitterness that stole your blessing. And you haven't admitted that it was that pastor who told you you're not ready yet. And the truth of the matter was he was right. Oh God. You weren't ready yet, but you had a wrong relationship with authority because nobody actually heard you. He was trying to coach you. They were trying to cap you. And so when you got capped, you said, I'll never let anybody do that to me again. And so you came into a new situation where they were trying to prepare you and protect you. But that one moment created bitterness. And so now you're isolated. You're doing one man show ministry of church of God in Christ, Episcopal, Appellian. And you come to this conference looking for a breakthrough and God saying, you need a counselor. Maybe you don't know what God's promised you. And so today I'm going to show you I'm almost done because your spirit feels what I'm saying more than any words. Maybe you're too far on one side. John 10, 10 says the thief comes, but to steal, kill, destroy. But this is the inverse, but I have come that you might have say the word loud with me, life, say it like you want it. Life, say it like it's a blessed one life. And that type of life. I want you to have it. Watch this more abundantly. When God says abundance, he's talking about his overwhelming grace, spiritual fullness. He even wants you check this out to have material provision. This poverty gospel that y'all have bought into is just as demonic as the prosperity gospel. How can you bless somebody on every occasion? And you ain't got nothing. How can you lend to many nations, but you always have to borrow. You're in overdraft in six banks. She said in the red personal testimonies. I know I'm just saying like, I'm just saying like, how can we do that? And then do the other things that God tells us? How can we take care of the widow and the orphan? How, how are we supposed to be who God created us to be? And we're always in need. God desires for us to be generous. Watch this generosity is not based on optics. It's based on obedience. See, you know, you're generous when you give to people who already got it. You missed it. Cause some of y'all just got mad. Why would I give to them? They already are. You missed it. When God tells you to give, you give where he tells you to give. When God tells you to

sow, you give where he tells you to sow. You don't even have to know the outcome of what it is. You don't have to say, cause it makes us feel about all the little pole kid. Ain't got nothing. So we bought him some shoes. Don't I feel better about myself? That's actually insecure generosity. Oh God. Cause I got to see the results for me to feel excited about. But when the person's like, oh, thank you. Thank you, Lord. Are you sure? He said that wasn't about you. That was about me. This is the abundant life that God calls all of us to. But if you're too far on one side, he missed the miracle that God wants to do in your life. And so I just came to let you know in Deuteronomy 28, 11, there's something that really jacked me up. As I was preaching two weeks ago, I was preaching this message to my church, talking about the six figures that God wants you to have in your life. And I had to skip past it while I was talking to them. Cause I had a specific assignment, but then the Holy spirit said I could unleash it at gap standards. So here we go. Deuteronomy 28, 11, and then we're going to go home. The Lord will grant you watch these two words. They're two of my favorite words abundant prosperity. I Mean he really wants you to understand that he got it like that Like I don't know what God you serving but my God got it like that Abundant prosperity he wanted you to know that I got it and I got it got it Y'all know I'm saying The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your womb The things that you're pregnant with he said I'm a prosper to stuff before it even comes out The young of your life's lives Livestock and your crops of your ground. He said I want to prosper your work He said in the land. He swore to your ancestors to give you he said there's things I told your grandmama's grandmama that I was gonna give them and it hasn't hit your bloodline He said and I want it to come to you. Somebody should get excited about that It says the Lord will open The heavens Prophet Giles said last night. We're standing under a open heaven He said I'm trying to open the heavens And I want to I want to pour out of my storehouse and out of its abundance or bounty to send rain on your land In seasons and bless whoo all the work of

your hands Look at your hands Everything these hands touch Should be blessed This is the abundant life God talks about when I when I touch anything It should be what bless This is the God we're talking about now watch this Everybody likes all this stuff till we get to verse 13 Because it says in 12 Open heaven storehouse is full rain on your land the work of your hands are blessed. You will lend to many nations But you will never Borrow somebody say amen The Lord will make you y'all like this one the head And not the booty But here's the word There's a word here that is is real is real in conspicuous It's kind of little only two letters But it carry a lot of weight If See see if take a lot of faith To Do what the Bible says after if Takes crazy faith and many people are missing the abundant life Because they keep skipping What comes after if? If you don't have the faith for what comes after if everything before it doesn't matter This is where the believers live incongruent life because God says I'll do this. I'll do this. I'll send this I'll make this I'll do this. I'll rebuke. I'll do all this other stuff, and then we start shouting And we don't read the fine print

If There are people in churches everywhere right now conference is all built on everything else except if That's why this prayer conference is important because the Bible says if my People who are called by my name would humble themselves and do what pray? Now if I told everybody that this conference was gonna be a worship conference not a seat in the place Because we love to sing songs about stuff we'll never do You Don't want to be purified Tried by fire You take whatever you desire Lord is my life. I Know about that bless bless bless we love bless Ain't got no if statements in it Oh God No if statements, but if you read the Bible you're blessed if You honor God with your wealth you're blessed if Anytime you see if from now on in the Bible You need to put crazy faith next to it Cuz this is where you need prayer This is where you need the miracle. Look what it says all the things above it open heaven abundant We want all of that. Somebody say give me all of that if You pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God That he's given you somebody say this day He's giving you new commands for such a time as

This what he told you 25 years ago may need updating This is why you go back to God and all he told me yet, that's what he had to tell you to get you here Because you're stubborn and you don't listen So he told you what you needed to hear to get to the next place and now you stuck on a work You're not gonna be the next Whitney Houston Somebody needs to tell you you're not gonna be the next Whitney Okay, let me stop cuz the stuff that just came to my head What I'm saying is what I'm saying what I'm saying is there may be an adaption or a Revision or a a fresh vision that God wants to give you this is why we come back to him But some of us are too far On one side No, I know what God said and he is not a man that he should lie. He didn't lie to you. You just heard wrong We do that with with people we love My wife all the time Michael turn off the turn off the lights. I bring her a drink She said what is this you told me to bring you a drink she said well I told you to turn off the lights And for some reason in my head cuz I was getting a drink Y'all know what I'm saying cuz in my mind I like this drink about to be good and I just heard her say I was like she want a drink Y'all know what I'm talking about now I'm coming in And I got to get my happy tail back up To Go do what she actually asked me to do not what I thought I heard Could the vision God had given you been said but you heard it wrong because that the posture of your heart You were in a season where people's validation was very important So you heard that you gonna sing on that stage and God said you gonna clean that stage Okay Okay, and then God opens up a door and the janitor's thinking I rebuke you Satan. He said no you heard me wrong Wax on wax off Not Michael Michael. Do you hear me? Okay

Okay Could it be that God is requiring us to go back to a place of watch this humility To where you say God am I too far on one side But put the two ends of the spectrum up for me, please Am I am I too far on one side have I have I gone have I have I have I literally? Just leaned into prophetic prosperity More than enough God is more than able. I Don't got to do nothing. He gonna do everything I'll pray out fast They say I came that you had life You can kill your flesh, but I want you to live to Some of y'all saints ain't been on vacation. Oh It just got quiet in here only time you go out of town is for a conference Husband over there dry mouthed I Rebuked the spirit of lust he need attention He needs attention he doesn't need the anointing he needs attention Y'all all right, I will see you in divorce court, I He won't come to church with me you won't go to bed with him, what are you talking about? Okay You're all the way over here and God said you're too far on one side And then on the you know what? I'm just not gonna I'm gonna stay personally in poverty and I'm not talking about just financially poor. I'm talking about some of us are emotionally poor You know how to read the heavens but can't read the room You know about the fourth heavens and don't know that these people Are hurting Like the people right you're calling for the nations and god puts you around people That you don't even have to go nowhere. You just have to see them You're discounting what god has placed right in front of you

So that it looks good for some people. You don't know on instagram and facebook Just made it back from jerusalem. You need to go to your new jersey street Do you hear what i'm saying The bible tells us first here then here then here and some of y'all trying to go here And god's saying would you please? Stop being emotionally poor Maybe you're too far On one side. So this is what i'm telling you. This is what I get. Everybody say if If you pay attention to the commands of the lord that he's given you for such a time as this and watch this Here's the big one and then you follow them It's not enough to hear them You got to follow them. So two points God says you can have everything That he promises if you observe and if you obey I need you to recognize i'm giving you some new commands. I'm giving you some new instructions I'm giving you some new plays. I'm giving you some new things. I need you to do Are you even aware that i'm giving you this are? You with me hey, hey pay attention pay attention do you see the pattern in your own life He's saying I need you to observe what's happening But then I need you to obey So the two question is do you see the pattern? The second question is will you follow the path? Do you see the pattern that you work more than you worship Wow You actually worship the work If they give you another 32 50 You you will literally give up i'm doing overtime I'm doing overtime that's 68 Is not about to increase the quality of your life, but it did steal from them kids that didn't ask to be here So

Do you hear me i'm saying maybe you're too far on one side Wow Pastor mike what you want me to do? I want you to have what the bible tells us that we can have in his word a prosperous soul third john chapter one verse two It says beloved I pray Now I love this because this is a prayer conference and this scripture is a prayer for somebody This is what i'm praying for you as your pastor as a friend as a co-laborer in ministry if you're watching online This is what I pray for you If you're too far on one side If you're super spiritual and don't understand that all your spiritual. Um, um, um principles have practical follow-up Or you just only think about what you can see in front of you and own practical And you don't know that there is a spiritual battle for your life. That's at whatever side you're on This is what I pray for you. I pray That you would prosper in all things and be in health Just as Your soul prospers Pastor mike, what do you mean your soul is your mind will and emotions? My question to you Is is your mind healthy? Is your wheel healthy And is your emotions healthy? Because one of the highest prayers you can pray that the bible tells us is not that you get a bigger house Not that you get a new gifting not that you be able to prophesy through walls and call people's mailbox numbers We think that stuff is impressive And god says all I want you to do is be healthy in your mind Be healthy in your emotions

And be healthy in your actions your will If we got that church There would be no thing on this earth that god would withhold from us But most of us want to shout about what we'll never see because we're too far on one side. Pastor Mike, what do I do? I'm glad you asked. You got to put faith and works together. I got what I needed last night at the conference. I could have gone home after that. But many of us are junkies for more because it fills us up to the point where we're like, okay, now it's going to happen. No, it's not because you're not going to do nothing. Pastor Mike, what are you saying? God's been telling you certain things. Well, I know, I know, I know, I know this is what I'm supposed to do. You know, I just not ready yet, but you know what? I'm just asking God to give me another sign. How many confirmations? How many prophetic words? How many scriptures? How many times is YouTube going to speak to you? God will even meet you on your level. You'd be on Instagram scrolling on Facebook and you'd be like, man, I just really need to, you know, really press into God. And then the next thing is like, stop scrolling, pray. Has anybody ever had like what you going through? Like come just show you six signs that you're emotionally unhealthy is like, yeah, dog only get through the first two slides. I never mind. How many more signs?

He always miracles, signs, wonders, shut up and do the last thing he told you to do. Pastor Mike, why? Why are you this? Why? I'm sick of seeing people pray for what they already have the ability to possess guys. You don't have to live below what God has promised us. You choose to, you choose to, you don't know my situation. God does. And he always makes ways of escape. But if you look at them as ways to manipulate situations again, if you look at them as ways to go back into old patterns and habits, if you don't interrupt the bloodline. So some of you will meet us at gap standards, 20, 27, and you'll be at the altar for the same things. And we're going to love on you. We're going to pray for you. We're going to shout with you. We're going to tell you to decree and declare. We going to sing. We declare your glory six times. Every time. And we're going to tell you, we got the victory. We got the misery. We're going to do all of that. And unless you go home and ask God, so what am I supposed to do with all of this vision you've given me? And who am I supposed to forgive now? And how many years do I need to do therapy? Oh, you're not telling me just stay in it. Okay. If I, if I, if I, if I ask somebody to raise their hand right now, to tell me how long

they've been in prayer conferences versus how long they've been in therapy, I would, I would dare say you would see more transformation by praying for five minutes before you go into an hour session, then praying for 12 hours every day. Why? Because you're in the habit watch of crying out for things that you never plan on actually confronting tonight. I just came as a loving son, brother, cousin, nephew, however you see me to tell you that if you are just doing the practical, you're too far on one side. And if you're just doing the spiritual, you're too far on one side. God is bringing you to this conference for such a time as this to bring balance. Oh, he wants you to fill in the, he wants you to feel in the. The gap in your ability to communicate emotionally, the gap in your ability to walk in abundance, the gap that has been there in your family to be able to see something and then execute it… No more procrastination. No more waiting for something to be handed to me. Nothing is going to stop the purpose and plan of God over my life. I'm going to stand in this gap, and I'm going to get everything that God has called me to do because I'm not going to be too far on one side that I'm waiting for a miracle, and I'm not going to be too far on the other side where I won't do any movement. What'd you say? The gap is always in the middle. It's impossible to please God without faith. Faith without works is dead. Your faith takes work. Pleasing God takes faith, so your work in this next season is going to please God. I don't know what your work is. I don't know what you have to do. I don't know where you have to go forgive. I don't know where you have to go and ask for help.

Some of us are dealing with closet addictions right now, and you won't ask for help. You've literally been struggling with those pills, or you've been struggling. It came out of a legitimate place. You were actually in pain. Now you're addicted. I know we don't talk about this stuff in church, but to go to sleep, there's stuff that you do. That's a little brown liquor under there. Oh, y'all laughing, but it is happening right here. Right here. There's some websites you go to to see things that just take your mind off of what's really going on. There's some secret jealousy and envy that you have towards brothers and sisters right around you. Some of them you call best friends. Some of you can't pray for your pastor because you're mad at them. Come on, y'all. Let's be real. Some of us are so hurt by a season that didn't go how we wanted it to go. We haven't properly grieved. I just moved past it. I didn't even feel no grief. Your exterior is so hard. No tenderness, no love. You don't want to feel anything. All I'm saying to you, church, is I don't want us to shout for 12 hours tomorrow. I don't want you to get instructions and vision. Then we go home and act like God didn't speak. There's nothing. I ain't been a parent but for 12 years.

There's OGs in here that got me beat by a thousand. But there's nothing worse than you telling your children something, and then they just choose not to listen. All parents know what I'm talking about. Then the consequence of what you tried to protect them from, you now got to pay for. I told you, don't touch the glass. I told you. Now the glass broke, the flower's gone, and you cut yourself. Now we got to go to urgent care. Now this woman don't want to see you and she don't know you're my kid, so I'm going to go crazy on her. Why am I in this situation? Oh, because you didn't listen to me. What if God's saying, man, I've been telling them for a long time. I've been trying to get them to submit to a church for a decade. How can you submit to Godly who you can't see? This is what the Bible says, and you can't submit to a man who you can see. Well, I ain't no man, God, neither are you, but somehow God has to use a man or a woman to bring us in to watch this submission. Who are you accountable to? One of the greatest miracles at Transformation Church is there are many people that are submitted to my leadership that are two, two and a half. Times older than me that speaks nothing about me that talks about the level of humility and vision That these people have We are one of the only churches in America Where there is a black african-american leader with brains who got white men that call him pastor You talking about generational Generational Divisions being bridged

But do you know what I had to do To see God be able to trust me with that level. I was at one point too far on one side. Oh Oh, see y'all don't want to talk about this No I'm only gonna play this music cuz I'm from a gospel church and this is how we get down and we just gonna shout and We're gonna praise and they gonna have to get used to it. No, you better learn some songs Let us say you gonna get all of it at Transformation Church because we won't be too far on one side You're believing for something you're not willing to sacrifice for Matthew chapter 23, this is my last scripture verse 25 There's something happening and Jesus is about to just go off on everybody because it's Back in the day, it would have been the equivalent of like a prayer conference And all of these people was here and this is what this is what Jesus says He says whoa to you teachers of the law and your Pharisees Y'all are all hypocrites You clean the outside of the cup and the dish but inside you are full of greed and self-indulgence You blind Pharisees first clean the Inside of the cup or the dish and then the outside will also be clean Whoa to you you teachers your Facebook ministry I'm sorry, and you Pharisees you hypocrites You are like whitewashed tombs Which Look beautiful on the outside But on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean in the same way on the outside you appear to people as righteous But on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness What he's saying is y'all acting like you got it together, but you too far on one side Oh

Pass me that cup And pass me a towel This is something I had to drink a few hours ago and What ended up happening is that um I wanted to share I Wanted to share this with somebody in the audience Wanted them to drink from my cup And I don't know if I have any volunteers. I'm not gonna tell you what's in here You said Natalie she not gonna drink from this cup. I promise you But if anybody would like to drink from the reason why there would be no Volunteers to drink from this cup is cuz number one you see that the inside is dirty But what if I told you to outside clean though See nothing Nothing So clean and God's saying people can't see what's on the inside, but I can This is what you look like to me, there's nothing that can be hidden from me And he's saying you can fool them, but you can't fool me. I need you to come back to humility I need you watch this to find the miracle in the middle Some of you that have been too far on one side. I'm telling you tonight the miracle is about to be in the middle If you've been so the old folks would have said it like this you've been so heavenly minded You've been no earthly good Y'all remember that and some of y'all have been so earthly focus ain't no way you making it to heaven Ain't no way you making it to heaven I Want you you've been too far Pastor Mike what am I supposed to do? You're supposed to observe if this is you and this is a part of your pattern And then you're supposed to follow the path that God gives you to come out of it standing all over this building Thank you, Holy Spirit What I'm going to ask everybody to do right now is just close your eyes and lift your

hands and this is all I want you to do. I want you to ask the Holy Spirit, what are you trying to say to me through this message? Holy Spirit, what are you trying to say to me through this message? Is there a place that I've gone too far on one side? Have I stopped listening to the Spirit and just been working the plan or have I just only thought about the practical, the plan or what I saw somebody else do and I'm trying to run that play and God's calling you back to a new level of submission. Maybe I've been too far on one side where I'm praying yet still playing with the purpose of God on my life. Maybe God's asking me to go back and apologize, submit again, say sorry. Maybe God's asking me to repent, turn, turn back to him. You got the ministry, you don't pray anymore. You know how to preach so you don't study anymore. Come on, let's talk about it. Have you gone too far on one side? I know how to make money so I don't need God anymore. I don't care what side of the pendulum you've swung to, God's trying to get you back to the middle where you realize that you can have a full life. That's what I'm going to pray for you tonight, that you would be one of those that live a full life, that you don't have to switch hats depending on what room you walk in, that you don't just live an abundant life on the outside but an empty life on the inside. I want you to be whole, congruent, all one, holy, completely separate. If that's your desire, would you just lift your hands? I want to pray a prayer of impartation. Father God, your word says, come on online as well, your word says, Father, that you came that we might have life and life to the full. Father, would you stop the life from leaking out of us because of the lies we've believed and the truth that we have walked away from? Today we are observing. There are some patterns.

There are some things. Matter of fact, Father God, open our heart to where we can see what you're trying to say to us, things that people may have been trying to say to us for years but we didn't have the humility to hear it. Today, Father God, would you give us ears to not just hear you but obey you as well? I thank you, Father, that the anointing goes just from, Father, a feeling to an action. Father, today, these people, your people who are called by your name would actually move into a level of transformation that has been literally available but unattainable. We stop the leaking now and we speak life. We speak life, life to the full, life abundant, more than enough. Not just spiritually in tune but relationally well. Not just knowing the word but healthy in our bodies. Come on. I need y'all to pray right now. Father, not just having good relationship with those who believe like us but being able to love the least of these, give us the ability to see the miracle in the middle. Give me the awareness that with every new revelation, it will require brand new work. Let me never hear your word and think it's just going to happen. You give us the ability. Tonight, we are saying we are willing.
