Overflow From Obscurity: Are You Hidden Or Hiding? // Livin’ In The Overflow (Pt 10) // Michael Todd

Are you being hidden or are you hiding? In this message, Pastor Mike reminds us that overflow comes from obscurity, off the platform and in the secret place with God. If we’re not careful, we can confuse obscurity with isolation - one comes from God, and the other comes from our own selfish desires. We pray this message causes you to no longer cover up but come when God calls!

I just want to give God so much glory and praise July 3 2023 is the last time I stuck a needle in my arm and have been submitting to God now I am back in Cali my home Pomo territory I have been homeless healing and holding on to Gods love Friday I just got my housing voucher so I can afford to have a home here and on the 27th my daughter is flying here to me from TX I get to be a mother to her again I have been absent from her life for 4 years 3 years loving in addiction in my own hell and almost a year letting God heal me now he is restoring so much in my life I am so thankful

[@PassionateToni]

Amen, happy for you, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@jeff_fr33]

Wow. I’m in Houston but from Cali.

[@KataviaDestiny]

Amen!!! God bless you hunny!!❤

[@NuSunShyne]

God is working in your life! Thank you for sharing and I’m praying that you and your daughter have better days to come! Congratulations on your Transformation Journey !!🎉🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@daisycox8682]

I just hope this praises report inspires someone to know that when you are faithful to him he is faithful to you in the last year I have just been building my relationship with him she has shown me his mercy and grace restoring my family reuniting me with my children

[@lmarie931]

Pastor Mike, I heard the word. At the very end of the service, when you talked about people stuck in disappointment for ten years, you mentioned, "You're a lion without a roar." And then you said, "God is giving you your roar back.” I teared up. I knew that was God's word for me as this two-part message on obscurity has been. Praise the Lord for your obedience!

[@DanielCollins._]

My sermon notes for "livin in the overflow// Are you hidden or hiding?" 1.) Obscurity is an invitation to initmacy with God. What are you trying to clean up when God gets close? 2.) The power to endure the cross comes from consecration to privacy 3.) Obscurity: the state of being unknown, inconspicuous, or unimportant. Obscurity presents options because there are no optics 4.) Obscurity is the birthplace of intergrity. Are you using obscurity to make excuses or are you using obscurity to build integrity? 5.) Withouy integrity, accountability means nothing 6.) Obscurity is protection for your future 7.) There is a difference being hidden or hiding 8.) Don't call it divine obscurity when its really insecurity 9.) You are hidden when God calls and you come. You are hidden when he calls, and you cover up. Embrace the obscure place 10.) Overflow demands oil 11.) Just because because you don't get applause doesn't mean that you don't have God's approval 12.) Overflow starts off the platform Scripture reference: Samuel 10:20-23,16:13

Thank you!!

[@tachellecolbert5065]

I watched this yesterday had a distraction, at work tried to watch it again. Distraction again. As i drove home alone, my sister called distraction. I put everything away and got to the house no one bothered me. This messaged was powerful. Tears flowed and i heard God spoke to my heart.

[@BarbaraSeals-]

God has been so faithful to me l exalt his name now and everyday of my life. Awesome God my family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.

[@JamesDHenryy]

Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself🤦🏼 because of low finance but I still believe in God.

[@BarbaraSeals-]

Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Sallie Krawcheck.

[@BarbaraSeals-]

She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸

[@BarbaraSeals-]

After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.

[@DeenaGonzalezz]

Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.

Major Key🔑: When I move God will show me what to do

[@entleshibani6409]

“When you get close to God He says ‘no’ a lot.”🙌🏽

[@accordingtoqueen5946]

This message was so scary aligned with the revelation God has given me just hours before I watched this. Pastor Mike always serves as a reminder that I am hearing from God with his on time messages. I also think that people who call PM a false teacher hate to see a pastor tear down the false narrative of a perfect pastor, and cannot accept a regular man who is open and transparent about his RELATIONSHIP with God. Anybody that follows PM knows that his faith and obedience to God is why he was given a huge platform to reach more of Gods children. If he is not your cup of tea, why comment, why criticize, why judge? He is helping people grow closer to God which is more important than just reading the Bible to a group of people who won’t understand or remember the teaching as soon as church is over. If PM ever reads this comment, I get why you sometimes feel like being a pastor is something you would rather not do. A relationship with God is the most sacred thing anyone can ever have, it must hurt to not be able to make mistakes or live out loud and people instantly persecute your faith and stature. But God has chosen you specifically because you are one of a kind who knows that your Lord and Savior will never let any weapons prosper. I’m praying relaxation and healing, peace and wisdom, courage and honor as you are on your sabbatical. God bless

[@MichelleElshaddai]

Everytime i watch your services I'm always blessed🙏🙏🙏

[@norreakelly6778]

Ohh Mani justtttttt love himmmm seriously its like this whole journey done help me get so closer to god frff

[@RobertAnthony-kh5kk]

[@JasonScott-eo4iy]

Oh really? Tell me more! Always interested in hearing stories of successes.

[@RobertAnthony-kh5kk]

This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.

[@RobertAnthony-kh5kk]

After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.

[@AmandaNicole-yw5wl]

I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success...

[@AmandaNicole-yw5wl]

Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.

[@ChefRonniie]

Needed this message. Lord let me forgive myself for messing up. I will no longer step in adultry. I will love my wife and I will spend more time with you lord god forgive me and never let me go back to my old self

[@ejyptgates]

I'm understanding that while I might not obtain man's approval by being the way I am, God sees it and is giving me his approval. I didn't ask to be this way, but I'm seeing how he wanted me to NEED him and to not have any other way to receive the miracles I've received but through him.

[@michellethomas2922]

I am so grateful for Transformation Church and Pastor Todd saying YEEEESSSS to God!

[@singlemomslevelup208]

Yes Lord yes to your will and your way!!🙌🏾 Hallelujah!!

[@music2c4me]

Lord I thank you for speaking to me thru this message. Thank you Michael Todd for being obedient and allowing God to use you to help me come out of hiding and getting my roar back in Jesus Name🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@malcolmlove10094]

Such a powerful word. On today just want to ask for prayer. To be renewed in Christ on today. All the perversion I’ve had in my life the labels people have given me and I just took on the labels willingly. I’m just asking for prayer that I can break free from these strong holds. I’ve battled with porn I’ve battled with a negative mindset and feeling like a burden to everyone. I feel like people are uncomfortable around me. I feel like I’m on my last leg everyday. I want to end it all sometimes but I’m reminded God has given me favor. But because of all I went through as a child it’s affecting my adult hood today. I’m just asking for prayer to be renewed in Christ. To not allow my past to effect my present and future. Thank you in advance for the prayers. I know we battle not against flesh and blood but wickedness and darkness in high places. But I also know that where two or three are gather there God is in the midst pray for me family and I pray that you have a blessed day amen 🙏🏾

[@mico70]

God hears your prayer. He loves you. He will not only restore you, He makes us brand new! In those moments where you feel defeated or like you don't have the strength, call out the name of Jesus. I promise, there is power in His name.

[@user-cd1cj5ok8y]

[@nenetherealtor6402]

God bless you sir for this beautiful message. I pray God helps me to stay in Obscurity without having the need to be seen

[@jessiebellamy1137]

Even in obscurity, He knows my name! Thank you Yahweh! 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@ouranoswealthgroup7042]

‘God will give you the desires of your heart’ applied as ‘God gives the desires he puts in your heart’ That actually aligns with a clean heart God gives as well as understanding the heart we have this unclean is actually desperately wicked with the issues of life- who can know it?! Ohhh, that was a very gooood connection made, Pastor Mike!!!! God desires that we know Him. Jeremiah 9:23-24

[@abby999]
