Between Yes & Next // Damaged But Not Destroyed (Part 4) // Michael Todd

Published 2023-10-22
Do you want to be made whole? In Week 4 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed Series, Pastor Mike asks us the same question that Jesus asked the lame man in John 5. Oftentimes our damage causes us to answer God’s calling with excuses and explanations however, the only reasonable response is “Yes Lord.” Pastor Mike teaches us 4 Things to do Between Our Yes & Our Next. We pray this message encourages your faith to STAND UP, take up your mat and walk in your healing.

John 5:1-9 NLT

  • I had 2 holes in my heart when I was born and the doctor told my parents that they couldn't take me anywhere or I would get sick but they didn't listen to him and still took me to church safely and I was healed with no surgery or anything needed now I'm 14 years old and worship and praise God every day❤

    This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!
  • I was in prison for 10 years ! Your sermon but got me through god saved me that was his way to save me! I been out for 3 years still listening to your sermons ! Yes I have struggles but he walks with me talks with me !! Glory to my god!!
  • @monaejackson3011
    Not Mike Todd single handily pulling me out of a 3 Day spiritual attack!!!! THANK YOU FATHER IN HEAVEN FOR THE WISDOM YOU HAVE PROVIDED PASTOR MIKE TO SHARE WITH US!!!! I am sooooo thankful!
  • @jadawilson2983
    Thank you for this beautiful sermon. I am 20 years old and I’m struggling with my purpose, faith, and finances but I believe in the power of God and he will renew me!❤️
  • @nicstriplex3306
    This is is my first time coming back to pastor Mike after the whole spit incident and I am so grateful that that event happened. It taught me to seek a relationship with God for myself. I was so reliant and codependent on pastor Mike and a couple of other teachers of the word, that I never sought revelation, knowledge, truth or understanding for myself. I never took the time to read my physical bible and interpret God’s word with a view to what he’s doing in my life. The spit incident was so necessary I think for so many people because it showed us those who we depend on to feed us, some times get hungry themselves. We have to do our part as Christian’s. We can’t keep going to people empty, starving and not knowing how to cook for ourselves and then screaming when our usual chef calls in sick. We have to get full on the word of God for ourselves so that if the restaurant ever closes, we can provide for ourselves, we can feed those more vulnerable who need it and we can fill in the gaps for when our leaders need a breather. I appreciate you pastor Mike, you taught me so much even in my intentional absence from your ministry. Thank you transformation church ❤️

    My sermon notes for "Between yes and next//Damaged but not destroyed" week 4: 1.) Do you want to be made whole? Do you want to be in love? 2.) The only reasonable answer to a question from Jesus is yes, Lord 3.) When God is asking you to do something, why are you not immediately saying yes lord? When a father says something, it's for your protection, purpose, or prosperity 4.) Obedience is not the outcome. The enemy will suggest things when you don't say yes lord 5.) Jesus' questions are always invitations, never an accusation 6.) Jesus isn't looking for an explanation, he's looking for expectation. God will ignore your explanation to call you into something. Jesus doesn't present options, he commands them. Explanations of "why not" often becomes excuses. Trade your explanation, God will ignore your explanation to call you. When God shows up to your situation, he's not showing up to leave it the same 7.) God's calling is a command, not an option 8.) You either stand up in your calling or sit in your I can't. You stand and obey by faith 9) Between yes and next is not Jesus' work, it's yours. Your faith is in the between, yes and next. Faith begins where understanding ends. Jesus knows what is next for you, he is not playing with you, he's preparing you 4 things to do between your yes and your next: 1.) Invest your faith, hope fuels your faith. Faith is a muscle, so keep flexing and exercising it. When you invest your faith, it produces the future 2.) Invest your focus every time you get in a miracle season, you will have another in-between season. When you invest your focus, it produces freedom. One of the attacks of the enemy is to distract you in the in-between. 3.) Invest your finances. When you invest your finances, it produces fruit. Fruit never comes without more seed 4.) Invest your faithfulness. When you invest your faithfulness, it produces flourishing Scripture reference: John 5:7-9 Hebrews 11:1, 12:11 Luke 16:10

  • @lorumerthgaming
    i lost my job today. I am inbetween comfort and losing my house. BUT GOD. I believe, that this next season of my life will be more than 'feeding my family.' I believe that He will use me to reach people, to show a strength through my family's faith, and to shine through my disciplined actions. now, im off to walk with my mat in hand.

    I need prayer for my marriage, only 5 years but struggled all the way! I’ve had medical issues that caused chronic pain and fatigue since shortly after we got married. We have trouble with communication and my husband doesn’t want to see a counselor we’ve started living separately this week, and have had no communication. I need God to heal both of our hearts and mind I want to have crazy faith I just bought damaged and not destroyed and I can’t put the book down Lord please do a work in my heart, and in me! Only you can change us!
