- Pastor Mike has a mandate to push us out of complacency! In Week 2 of the Start Sharp Series, God directs Pastor Mike to share a personal word with us all: Strengthen Your Strength. There are areas of our lives that we are already gifted in that God is asking us to stir up and stand strong in. This message will give you confidence to become a student again, come out of agreement with the lies you believed and nurture the greatness on the inside of you. We’re starting sharp by sharpening our strengths this year!

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

Thank you😊
I really look forward to your sermon notes 😅😊.. Thank you

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!!!
I feel led to say this, everybody please keep Pastor Michael Todd Lifted up in prayer. Pray that the Lord continues to strengthen, protect, guide him because his impact on our lives is greater than what we can imagine. I truly thank God for this brother. I’m in tears, even describing faithfulness which I seen a part of myself in that.. wrapping up mic cords.. when nobody is there applauding you.. people need this kind of encouragement, support, energy. Especially me. Man. 🙏 God Bless you Michael. You’ve been a huge impact on my life. God is soo good. Jesus is the way! If God be for you.. then seriously who can be against you. It’s always been him all along … THE beginning and the last, THE alpha and omega. HALLELUJAH 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Amen my father used to call me useless, weak and anxious but my heavenly father flipped it around. Im useful, strong and confident with God on my side.
AMEN ‼️
👏👏
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!”
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.
Hallelujah, South Africa in the house 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦We love you Transformation family. ❤️ Glory to God.
SA here...
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! 😭❤️🔥
Seeing so many fellow South Africans comment here is amazing! My hope is that Pastor Michael Todd will come to South Africa one day & for so many more people from this beautiful country to be transformed!!! I declare South Africa for GOD! Thank you Pastor Todd for your obedience to God, because through that you are changing the lives of many. Thank you for leading, inspiring & encouraging me.

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 of me. Let your strength be my strength.
❤
The Lord literally woke me up out of my sleep to hear this message.
He created you to be creative. Why would you be scared to step out and do what he told you to do? 💜🔥
Thank u for helping us to stir up the gift God put inside of us!
Joining in from India 🇮🇳
It was meant for me to hear this! On behalf of my seven year old son and myself, thank you pastor!!💯💯
This is my second time listening for my two daughters, 4 and 6. I second the appreciation. Thank you Pastor ❤
Me: *wakes up Monday morning, watches it again*
Baba, open my eyes to see my gifts that you have put inside me 😭 I’m tired of not knowing them because I know im not ordinary. Never been. I always known you made me to be so great, I just don’t know or see what or how 🥲, in Jesus’ name, amen.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
🙌 so true anxiety
I be praying constantly but it's true
Mind rising with my situation.
Had to give my little kids to daddy my oldest daughter and son it's with Grandma bc I lost everything. Had to sleep in my car and now I'm in a shelter.
Just keeping my faith even though I want to control everything that I know it's not for me to control only God.
Having my last child went through postpartum depression had to go to get help for my mental health I stared drinking pills it did help. Now I'm feeling like I'm going through it again anxiety and hardly can't sleep. But I see myself praying more. Than before.
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!
South Africans...... We are definitely part of Transformation nation all the way.... I honestly thank God for pastor Mike and transformation church 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
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!
I chuckled reading this! 😅 such a timely word!
I loved it when Pastor Mike Todd mentioned People from South Africa 🇿🇦 I was really blessed Danny 🙌 young upcoming evangelists accepted Jesus through Pastor Mike sermons
Same here ...the minute I heard south Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦 I declared my amen to everything he was saying😂😮😢
South Africa all the way..! Thank you Jesus
Okc in the house the Colbert family loves u blessing to u pastor Mike and ur family. Amd continue blessing me and other thru the word of God
I asked God in my fast to offend me with his word, I want to be reformed by the fire. This word was so humbly spoken, and delivered in a way that I feel convicted but completely encouraged, enlightened, and empowered to go into this year strengthen my strengths!! Thank you 🙏🏽
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 ❤
To the people promoting ‘cancel culture’ regarding Pastor Michael Tod, ya’ll are missssing out 🥲🔥🔥🔥
Its a whole packed gift we received in 2024 through Mike to stir up the gifts in us for Lord's glory💓🙌🙌
Joshua 1:9. This is my scripture for this season and I share for anyone who’s destined to grab it🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I needed that Scripture. Thank you for being obedient to God.
KING JESUS COME THROUGH FOR ME RELEASE THE KINGDOM UPON ME‼️💃🏽🙌🏾💃🏽🙌🏾💃🏽
I was in this sermon, this was my first time seeing him in person, felt unreal
Ooooh😊 its my pray too.
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.
Watched it live and couldn't wait for them to repost 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same here! This is a word!
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
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🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
FAITHFULNESS
Shoutout to Pastor Todd and TC nation. I watch this message today. It brought me in so much tears. For two months I went back to old habits and sinner. Thinking that my gifts are no longer in vain that they are dispose. Also being label of depression and anxiety to a prayer warrior. Love you TC nation 💜🙌🏽
God loves you!!!
MY GOD MY GOD MY GOD MY GOD ‼️STIR UP MY GIFTS FOR YOUR GLORY. THANK YOU ABBA GOD ❣️
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
I used to see my self as a failure but I thank God for He flipped my gift
4 strength killers
Comparison
Coveting Complacentcy
Conforming
Let the stirring begin!
This really made me realize I have no gifts. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do. Just existing. I just hope my daughter has a better experience with life.
You have the greatest gift that God can give someone, you are a parent, a father, someone's child, God's child. The fact that you were brought into this world, you are a gift. Every day until you believe it, write what you can do, write what you are good at, etc. Pray and ask God to give you words on paper. Ask your daughter, ask your family, ask God to reveal what you are good at. Someone told you different but step out with God.
Such a powerful message, Pastor Mike. Thank you. God bless you. ❤
Jesus pick me up🙌🏾. Glory to God. Stir up the Gifts🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾. I’m a customer service rep and I love connecting with my customers. We pray for each other and exhort each other. I have church many times otp with my customers and that adds so much value to my role for me
Amen!!! 🙏 ❤….. all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
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. 🙌
I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 and listening from Taipei Taiwan 🇹🇼
May God continue to bless each person listening ✨
❤ I’ve been a graphic designer since 2013 and I’m planning on going back to school to strengthen my strength in graphic design to help financially support myself and my sons. I’ve been so stressed about if I’m making the right decision. I’m only 10:47 seconds into this message and I had to rewind multiple times. Did he just say that? Did he really say that? God is so good!
@meghanv7517 I just started listening to the message, started on my journey of strengthen my strength returned to school this week to improve on my gift of sewing/designing. This has been an on time message from God to me. And thanks for sharing this
@@cherylhicks4608 God is so good!

God has Jokes. Oh my oh my✊🏾🔥🙌🏾. I surrender 🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾
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 ! ❤️🙌🏽
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.
From South Africa and three sermons made me subscribe to this channel. I would love a live sermon and I will be in one before this year ends.
Pastor Mike, Thank you so much. Listening to this message stirred up something in me. You spoke about the gift of help. I never knew that can be considered a gift. I am one to say how can I help. Another thing you said was going back to school. In another sermon you spoke about going back to school. I have starting school last summer to obtain my Masters in Marriage and Family counseling. Lastly, you said people who worry need to flip it. That is me I worry for myself but I can pray for others and tell them not to worry. Thank you again, Pastor Mike.
AMEN AMEN, What A Powerful Lesson
52:06 you spoke to me I have been struggling with severe anxiety especially that I have been away from home for two years in a different country. Prayer has helped me alot and you have just confirmed it for me that I should pray more.
God says pray without ceasing.
No matter when I watch TC I always get feed well ❤ thank you PM
“You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”
2 Corinthians 4:5-7
(New Living Translation)
Water develop the gifts God has put in you Eve flip the gift 🙌
2024 I am going to strengthen my strength In gods in amen.
🇿🇦 We love you Pastor Mike 🙏 thank you for flipping the gift , otherwise we wouldn’t have experienced this impact you’ve made in our lives.

Pastor Mike i'm listening all the way from South Africa. This year i am sharpening and flipping my gift.
Start sharp
I found this channel off of tiktok what a miracle this man is. I dont resonate with my church so im eternally grateful for my new found sunday service. God bless.
It's good for us to have a local Church, but it's okay to have other people who help us in our faith. So long as they preach truth.
I know the feeling a lot. Some people will speak to us more.
😢father give me strength to come back to you this year
