Optimism Is Not An Option, It’s An Order // Livin’ In The Overflow (Part 4) // Michael Todd

Sometimes, the thought of getting things in order feels overwhelming. At TC we believe in progression over perfection. We’re taking steps towards order day by day. Order doesn’t happen in your hands first, it happens in your head. Our next step is cultivating our thought life to align with what God has instructed us to think about. This message will cause you to radically cast your cares and fix your thoughts! Optimism is not an option, it's an order!

My mom gets up every day at 3 am to talk to Jesus. I know that's it her prayers that have kept me going. My grandma taught my mom to talk to Jesus. A few weeks ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, last night my grandma was talking to Jesus and He told her He had healed her. All the pain is gone. We woke up at 3 am to talk to Jesus and thank Him. Please join me in thanking Him and making my grandma's miracle whole.

[@DanielCollins._]

My sermon notes for "livin in the overflow// Optimism is NOT an option, it's an order" week 4: 1.) The overflow is found when you are with God, and through his word, through worship and prayer, he allows what he gives you in certain areas to overflow when you are at work or busy with life's demands. You do not have worry about having anything because if you are connected to him, when you need anything it comes up out of you by the Holy Spirit 2.) You have an unlimited source (God) of resources, if you stay connected to God 3.) In your journey with Christ, it's about progression. Progress is in faith with a step 4.) Order happens in your head first, not your hand 5.) Optimism - hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something 6.) Your thoughts are an assassination to the thing God wants to go towards . Your thought life is your highest priority. You have to think in the overflow 7.) Don't ignore your feeling, fix your thoughts. It's okay to feel, what are you going to do with the feeling is key 8.) God is not going to fix your thoughts. You have to decide to move in faith 9.) Supernatural optimism is not empty positivity. Hope for it, hoping is free. It may not happen, but it can't happen if you don't hope for it 10.) There is always something worthy of praise. What have you fixed your thoughts on? Start between the ears, get your hopes up 11.) If it doesn't happen, it means something else is about to happen through you for others 12.) Cast your cares and fix your thoughts. Your life becomes the fruit of your thoughts. You are living in what you think of. Your life is the sum of your thoughts. Don't stop your own overflow 13.) The enemy would love to turn your mind into a trap house 14.) It's time to do something different, God is a restorer. What you put in determines whether the values goes up or down 15.) Declare to the enemy, "NOT another day in this mind. " Apply what God is speaking Scripture reference: Phillipans 4:8 2 Corinthians: 10:5 1 Peter 5:7

I was at a point where I had lost all hope and all my thoughts were dark and I was trapped by the enemy. Thank God He is healing me in so many ways. God's love has transformed me but pastor is right, I had to take all thoughts captive, it was a choice and it's a choice daily. Please pray for my husband Matthew and our marriage.

I was in a 9 year relationship with same sex relationship (I’m a woman) so obviously with a woman and decided to be obedient . I’m obsessed reading the Bible now like i can’t help it.but keep reading it lol, Mike helped with his videos too , also Marc the messenger too like these 2 are the ones I watch the most.. it does hurt it was 9 years of relationship but god touched me. It was meant to happen for the next steps he got for me. I’m trusting him and believing in him! Thank you , thank you , thank you GOD! Also ,Mike might not be perfect just like all of us but he did helped. Just saying. His video touched me and Marc the messenger. Well God bless!! And nope I’m not promoting none of them they don’t need it trust me lol just thought my msg would help.

It’s been 3yrs since I have found Transformation church. God made sure that he spoke through Pastor Todd through a message I needed. God made changes in my life that has put me in the overflow. It feels good to have the Lord guide me where I need to go and removed me from the places that didn’t serve me. I enjoy the overflow and I am looking forward to sharing Gods love with everyone.

[@user-he2ix5gy2e]

Hello Pastor Mike, after you came to the fountain of life church, Lagos, Nigeria, i have been following your teachings very closely. I am greatly inspired by how you teach the word with so much confidence, enthusiasm, passion and power. And so i recognised you as a teacher the holy spirit wants me to follow closely and learn from. I've listened to a couple of your messages here on KZbin and spotify amd I've been blessed. Interestingly, today i held a discussion with a couple of my friends on a WhatsApp call. The topic was on 'the power of Journaling'. And m so grateful that i was able to teach with confidence, enthusiasm and passed my message clearly. I began to ask myself 'where did this confidence come from'..i know God has been working on me to become courageous and be confident, but the holy spirit began to me a question, he said, 'who have you been listening to recently' and i mentioned two female pastors and you, Pastor Mike. Then the holy spirit said, that's it. I cant explain any further 😅 but i just want to appreciate you for teaching the word. A Nigerian, from Lagos is being transformed by your teachings. Thank you sir. God bless you

[@Jennifer-ww5bo]

I needed this today as I was in a negative, ungrateful mindset. I asked God to send me a message and it was this. God is always on time 🙏

Hallelujah!!!! The daily bible devotional has been a big part of my transformation, God is good. I had a $47,000 loan from the bank for my son's (Oscar) brain surgery. I am now debt free after I invested $3,600 and got my payment of $32,700 each month. God used Mr. Donald Cameron to change my life.

Dear Lord, on this Mother's Day, we pray for all the mothers, both present and future. We ask that you bless them with love, strength, and wisdom as they navigate the challenging yet rewarding journey of motherhood. We also pray for those who have experienced the loss of a child and for those who have been unable to conceive. May you bring them comfort and peace in their hearts. And lastly, we pray for the grandmothers, who have been a source of love and support for their families. May you continue to bless them with health and happiness. Amen.

[@wearetransformation1]

Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women of theory who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings. Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Give them the faithful support of husband, family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most.

[@StA_V_ROS]

‭Philippians 4:8-9 NKJV‬ [8] Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things. [9] The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

[@murieldawkins8295]

Dear God, as we enter into this new week, we come to you with hearts full of gratitude. We thank you for the breath of life that you have given us and for the health that you have blessed us with. We ask that you continue to watch over us and protect us from any harm. We pray that you cast down any strongholds of depression, anxiety, and idols that may be holding us back. Help us to stay focused on your purpose for our lives and guide us in the right direction. May this week be a time of course correction for us, aligning our hearts with your will. We trust in your goodness and love for us. Amen.
