- Transformation Church Lead Pastor, Mike Todd, delivered a message called "I Wish Somebody Would Have Told Me" to a room full of high school students during our youth summer camp experience. Mike Todd spoke with authenticity and hit the real issues nobody talks about, but yet everybody struggles with - things like broken dreams, difficult decisions, and the struggle with self-control.
This message challenged us to evaluate what's controlling us and inspired us to fight against doing what feels good and instead surrender to doing what God says is good.

Pastor mike is the only pastor that can crack me up foreal and give me that WOOORRRD🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 at the same time.
Glad you were impacted, make sure to like and share this message so others can be impacted as well. Let's not maintain the good news but multiply it!
Alyssa Brown Omygoodness!!!! I was thinking the same thing!!! Always a good laugh......but so deep and spiritually anointed too 🙌🏾
You should look up Steven furtick
False prophet smh
@@dominicshaw131 your so messed up
God doesn't bless who you pretend to be. He blesses who you really are. That will preach!!!
Amen!!! Thank you for commenting! We believe multiplication is BIG! If this impacted you, share it with someone or on FB so someone can connect with the message! Let's build the kingdom !
Or sometimes he just Roger's you to a point of renouncing your faith
I wonder if this man understands how he is just impacting the WHOLE WORLD. Typing this all from South Africa 🇿🇦
S/O from SA tooo!!
Same!!
🇿🇦
Me too
This man has reached places he doesn't even know about yet , this man changed my life I encourage you to listen to the compromise of sin that's another very powerful sermon
This word is good, but that jacket is FIRE
RIGHT. Was looking for a comment on his gear. He brought the heat, AMEN.
OH BROTHER MAYBE PASTOR MIKE COULD JUST FLIP THE JACKET. HAHA

"We're always waiting for this next level to get rid of whats happening right now." That spoke to my spirit.
Awesome awesome
This message is for everybody not just the youth!
AMEN
I'm 49 and diggin' it👍
I agree! I'm 52, and there were so many wow moments!
Agree I felt every word and sent it to my teenage as a cheat code for his life.
I’m 41 and this hit me between the eyes! He hit all the nails on all the heads. #flippintheswitch
Pastor Mike is by far my favorite Pastor!!! Every message hits home and is Humble, Open and Transparent... Thank you so much for posting... Look forward to hearing Pastor Mike back in Transformation Church soon... God Bless Everyone!!!
Ive started to live by HOT
God bless
Amen! His Relationship Goals series saved my life, and renewed my faith!
Finally!! This message chewed me up and spit me out in the best type of way.
Rachel Burke right!!!! Me too!!!!!!!
right? so good! What was your biggest takeaway?
Elevation YTH Sin Control vs Spirit Control, that was my biggest take away because, it's a big realization that sin is eager to control us, but we must control it, subdue it, and be its master, because God has given us that authority in and through Christ Jesus. This message really spoke to me that way. And also how it's our decision to make, on whether or not we will live by the Spirit (Holy Spirit) and produce much fruit, that lasts, or whether we live by the flesh, hence, being spiritually unproductive. That was my biggest takeaway!
My biggest takeaway was when Pastor Mike said: " God is not committed to my dream, He's committed to His purpose for my life." I know personally, I've spent a lot of time trying to get God to commit to my dreams instead of surrendering my life wholly to His.
Yes your lives will be changed
Omg. It has been like 5 weeks since I have heard Pastor Mike. Thank you so much for this message! I’m 24 now and I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS. I would not be recovering from heartbreak(s), becoming a mother at 21 with someone that was not supposed to be with, regrets at school. But NOW I feel I am walking in God’s purpose. ☺️
wow. so great. thank you for sharing. we appreciate that. are you from tulsa?
Oh it’s no problem! Thank you!! And no, I watch online every week. It is on my bucket list in the next year to visit and watch a sermon live!!!
Your children were. So now you know but you are to be used by God to help young mothers realize their dreans.
"You can have it if you can get, but I'm not helping you!"
Goes to show that just because you are able to get something, doesn't mean it is part of your purpose and plan that has been designed for you.
God is not committed to your dream but his purpose for your life.
Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
“The fight never ends” 🙏🏾

Until Christ returns
Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
I ve been in this situation for a long time now, Its been 9 long years. This pornographic addiction is controlling me, but i believe god is for me and hez getting me out of this situation.
God shall deliver you. keep on seeking His face. You are loved.
God is your strength my friend. It's been a struggle for me for 15yrs and some more, but God has intervened. He'll do for you what he's doing for me
Simplify It true
God bless
Same. Been about 12 years for me. It's eating my spirit alive. But I will break free from it.
Going into college this coming Monday, this is EXACTLY what I’ve needed to hear to stay on track. God bless!
Mr.MurrMan keep coming back. God bless💕
Mr.MurrMan God will empower you
Congratulations!!! Stay focused on GOD, and will make all things well for you!
It warms my heart to see Pastor Mike share messages like this with youth. He's so relatable to this generation, and I believe God will continue to use him to advance the kingdom.
Ebony Mangwiro I agree.
Totally aggree
This message man. Is the reflection of the heart of a good God. I shared this with my cousins, and my youngest cousin (17) had an encounter with God through it. He expressed a happiness beyond words, saying he felt so good he wanted to cry, and that he had an overwhelming peace. Everything Mike said clicked with him profoundly. He said he was upset he'd been missing out on all this [wisdom] and wished someone would have told him before. Then he realized that was the title of this message and was shook 😂
so powerful
Great job pastor 💪
Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
"GOD doesnt bless who you pretend to be He blesses who you are" liiisteeennnn!!!
Don't make decisions based on how you feel right now make decisions based on who you want to be 10 years from now
Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
But y’all didn’t peep that Filter used for the Bible verses? 👌🏾
Lmao I saw that.. some windows 95 flow
🤣🤣 yo bruh 🤣🤣
It's just when you said "there's somebody inside of here who needs to know that your flesh is not who God wants you to be", I felt like you was looking right through me.
I was just giving myself a pep talking on lust, I can't say thank you enough.
This message was really good, but I'm moved by the number of young people in that gathering. I mean at that age I didn't have a passion for God like this, barely knew who he was.
It's such a BLESSING to see young people with a hunger for GOD!!! So glad that you found Him, even in later age!! He has a way and a plan for us all - different paths that lead to the same God!
me being 13 hes the only pastor i understand bring old and new together and being playful and making jokes
I needed this message even if it's 3 am now and I'm supposed to be sleep.
the best kind of messages
Robin Davis ....same here now its 3:11am i really need this message
I’m 40 years old and I know the message was meant for the youth but by God it really touched me. Definitely going to make my kids sit down this weekend and check this out.
we would love to hear how that goes. so cool. thanks for sharing.
Elevation YTH I sure will!
Can’t stop the tears from rolling😥😥😥I cant love this pastor less,NEVER.
He's everything
“Yes ma’am or sir” at work 😂😂😂 have a great day that was the spirit talking ✝️💜😩😂
High school target hmm.. I snatched it for myself. I am way out of school but I am dang blessed. Thank you.
I'm 45 and I wish somebody told me. But I'm glad I'm listening NOW
God is not committed in ur dream ,God is commited to his purpose for ur life✨
"God doesn't bless who you pretend to be. He blesses who you really are". Hallelujah.🙌
I'm 13 and it relates to me so much. I feel like crying. Every 10 seconds I'm saying hallelujah and amen and yesss pastor Mike I thank you so much I wanna be a doctor and made plans for it... I gotta ask God first. Thank you so much. You told me something that no ones told me
Praise God! How amazing would it be to be a Doctor
Wonderful message!!!!!! And that Jacket is fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Emanuel Osborne YES!!!!! THE WORD AND THAT JACKET BOTH ABSOLUTELY FIRE!!!!!
He stay fly...
Emanuel Osborne Same thoughts these Pastors are now my fashion inspiration LOL
Sin Control vs Spirit Control
Ugh I just love pastor mike👏🏽amazing message
Lele Maxwell facts!
Right! I usually dont listen to “megachurch” pastors but this man’s delivery and use of scripture is so relatable i love it. He keeps it real without compromising the Word!!
He's just awesome.
u dont love me ???
I needed to hear this “God doesn’t blessed who you pretend to be but who YOU are!”🙌🏾
I absolutely love his personality ! 🔥🔥🔥 (The fashion is on another level too 🙏🏾)
oh wow......i need to self reflect. is my dream rooted in God?
Let him be the foundation and fertiliser of your life. Every time you obey and listen, even through the trials he will bless you double like he did with job. I have faith in you I see big things for you. But the dream will only be big if it's rooted in God. Un like the world it will not be short lived. It is everlasting until you meet him, he will renew you each season of your life. Let the holy spirit lead you as well, just ask him and he'll guide. That is so soo important to let the holy spirit lead. God bless you sis💓🌷
Alyssa Brown thank you and may God bless you
I'm sitting here thinking the same thing.
Wow !! This was great and I receive it all..I’m 22 and I definitely wish somebody would have told me this in HS.. !!
I could even feel the presence of God here in Malaysia on my balcony watching this video and this great man of God preaching!!
this message should be for everyone because everyone is going through something n struggling from something. Age is just a number when it comes to God's work
true that
Help them babies, "I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD'VE TOLD ME"….. AMEN ...
Wow!!! God doesn't bless who you pretend to be, He blesses who you really are!
OMG, Self Control. I had a 5th-grade teacher and that was forever ago, she said "Self Control is a Must" I must learn to control myself at all times whether at school, at work, at home or at play. Now that I am older it also means so much more.
I can’t get enough of this message! I have watched it over and over! I am almost 40 years old and it has blessed me soooo much. It just reminds me of the battle that’s going on in my life everyday. But I choose to bring my soul into submission to the spirit of God because I know that He that is in me is greater that he that’s in the world. Glory to My awesome God who is faithful in all His ways. Halleluyah 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️
thanks so much for sharing. we love this. so cool. make sure you share this and get the word out
WOOOOOW....THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE IS SIN CONTROL Vs SPIRIT CONTROL💯👌🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Self control is the opportunity to choose who will control you
pastor Todd is one of those that speaks of today's challenges in our modern day life ..lusts , envy , and spirituality exactly what this generation needs
every teenager needs to see this.
Yes! Yes! This generation will rise and give Him glory!
The advice about the things we stress on right now and to know in ten years it won't matter...and anything I'm dreaming about is God is a part of it that's something to think in seriously!! The flipping things part when he turn out the lights also great comparison..really inspiring word from pastor Mike...
I'm 50 years old and saved and this message blessed me! I am going to send it to every young person I know!
Love to hear this! Share the love!

This is the greatest youth message I have EVER heard! Ik pastor Mike is under various controversies, but this message goes to show God is using him! I got note after note from this message and am about to actually re-preach it at a conference! Pride the Lord for his willing servants with zeal for Him ❤️🔥
Am 17...i am really touch..Amen...
I'm going to school next week i really need this preaching😭😭..
good luck. we are praying for you and with you.
That scripture verse from Galatians is just what I needed from God, thank you for being a vessel Pastor Mike
I watched this a year ago and now I am back again...Thank God that His word is everlasting and it never expires. Isaiah 55:11 so my word which goes out of my mouth it will not return to me Void(useless, without result) without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
I'm 33 & I wish someone would of told me!! God is good 🙌🏻 His love is always right on time ❤️
God is so good , thank you father. Isn’t it wonderful that the Gospel can reach a multitude of audience’s, just like when Jesus preached. I’m 35 and I was deeply moved. ❤️🙏🏾
This word was so for me I’m about twenty so I want to not be two faced with god so this so Resonated with my sprit 🙌🏾
This is such a lifelong teaching...Pastor Mike is right on. I am 46 now and while some of the surroundings have changed, the fight is still sin control vs. spirit control...everyday!
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you.

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you..........
Who dislikes this
There is no reason you need to dislike a video that can guide a lost soul going to college such as mine, and direct you into gods love and grace, this video got me into UF, and now I’m an engineer with a happy life, my life has been changed and I’m sure others feel the same👏👏 well done this pastor
Pastor Mike is an awesome man of God! He's so authentic! This message isn't just for youth it's for some adults too!! God has truly chosen him!
