I'm Getting My Edge Back // Start Sharp (Part 1) // Michael Todd

- Are you feeling spiritually dull, lacking sharpness in your life? Pastor Mike draws from the tale of the young versus the older lumberjack to illustrate the significance of a sharpened ax. This message serves as a reminder: it's time to get your edge back! The pathway to staying sharp this year lies in the practice of prayer and fasting. This sermon delves into techniques for regaining your edge: embracing food exit, engaging with the Father, forfeiting entertainment, and directing our focus toward the eternal. Welcome to your best year yet!

Ecclesiastes 10:10 NLT

I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if he’s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in God’s name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen ❤❤❤❤🙏😇
🙏🏽💜💛
Glory be To God❤ LET5 GO KINGDOM!!!!!❤
To God Be the Glory!!!! 🙌🏾🥹🙏🏽❤️
Love this!! How did the people such as family around you react to this?
I am so happy for you. This was the best decision. May you experience the loving kindness of God Almighty
My sermon notes for " start sharp// I'm getting my edge back" week 1:
1.) Your life to everyone else looks unfruitful, but you are sharpening your axe. You have to set aside time to sharpen your axe
2.) The trees of troubles in your life fall faster when you are spiritually sharper. The only way you sharpen an axe is through friction
3.) The friction is not always bad. Friction to your faith- you will be challenged
4.) Spiritual growth is spiritual maturity. It's time to grow up and be obedient.
5.) Dullness comes from discouragement, you have been trying to fight with no breakthrough...yet
Fasting edge:
1. Food exits- God deals with desire
2. Father encouragement- God deals with discernment
3. Forfetting entertainment- God deals with distortion
4. Focusing eternally- God deals with direction
6.) Fasting is not a requirement, but it's a choice that breaks the routine and draws you closer to God. Fasting is a spirit geteway that release his will in your life
7.) Fasting is a short season of sacrifice that produces long-term success. God will give you instructions when you draw close to him, you are supposed to live a fasted life. Fasting doesn't change God's plan, but it changes your position
How do you get your edge back:
1.) Admit you lost your axe. Cry out and be specific
2.) Stop denying you are dull
3.) Do the natural to experiences miracle. Do the natural to experience the supernatural
4.) Take action to get the edge back. Something that looks dull still has the potential to be sharp again

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!
What can’t God do??!!! Thank You God! Blessings to You and Your Family 🙏🏾❤️
Hallelujah Praise God!!
I need prayer for 100% full recovery in my eating disorder, please. 🙏🏼 I need and want to be the mom my son needs and deserves.
When I watch these sermons a second or third time, God reveals His Word to me in deeper ways, and I am so thankful!!
This word was for me. Originally I thought it said getting my edges back😂. God used it to catch my attention. The message was amazing. God has truly used Michael Todd to speak to His people.

Decernment, guidance, consistency, forgiveness, hope and discipline
I'm asking God to sharpen my mind, family, and finances. To save my home and to bless my son and his family. To guide my daughter in her endeavors of graduation and medical school.
I pray over your family, your heart and walk with Christ ❤❤❤
I agree with you in prayer 🙏🏾
Thank you both... I stand in prayer with you'll as well 🙏.
Watching this made me realize i not only lost my edge. I ve lost my blade. Praying not only does he give my edge back that blesses me sharp edge or a new axe. Great message.❤🙏🙏🙏
I was crying today in the shower because of all the things my children and I have been going through. I was asking God how can he let us go through all the hurt. As a mother, I hurt more when I see my kids cry. I asked HIM for answer. This video has confirmed what our Heavenly Father wants of me. Let the 21 days of fasting start! Thank you Jesus!! In Jesus name I declare that my family will be healed. Please keep my kids and I in your prayers! Love and prayers from Australia!! 😭♥️🙏🏼
May God continue to be with You and Your Children. May You all lack nothing in Jesus Name, Amen 🙏🏾❤️

I would like to pray with transformation fam and everyone that watches from wherever they are about my college applications. I am applying to go to college overseas in september this year.

I'm starting my 21 day fasting tomorrow 09/03/24.
With faith I declare triumph spiritually, financially, academically and mentally.
21 days from now I know my story will be different.
Is anyone else getting ads watching this? Never had ads before ever in the entire two years I’ve been watching every week 😢
Nah I’ve gotten ads before!
I've always had ads while watching.
First time for me...and so many of them ☹️
I usually get ads.
I noticed that if you watch live, no ads but if you watch the rebroadcast, there are ads, and they are indeed annoying
I need to God to ReSharpen my faith in him and to help in my mind and to help Me reach my goals
So good, it’s hard to admit that you started off the year feeling lost and dull. This sermon was PERFECT. I’m lost and dull in my life right now. No drive…I’m thankful that God spoke to Pastor Mike. I now have guidance to get my edge back.
I am asking god to sharpen my mind, my finances and my family.
Visual demonstrations be too accurate👌🏽💯
I need prayer for my supplementary exam,mental health, growth in all areas of my life and my career
I made the decision to start the 21 day fast. I pray that I am able to stay committed and complete the fast.
I started on the 1st and I’ll tell you what I have found…do not overdo yourself at all. All your energy is being used to heal you inside, so there isn’t much left for other stuff. If you are drinking enough water, you don’t even feel the hunger, but your environment will have you almost fold between day 2 and 3…don’t give in, that’s when you pray the most. You got this,
Started mine today until the last day of Jan. With you 💕
“Sometimes you think someone is trying to take something from you…and what god is trying to do is to get something to you. But if you do not see what god is doing you will take the first and not allow god to bless the rest “ ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I need prayer for God to guide my path to guide my family this year into the right direction so that we can have a home of our own so that we can b a blessing to others if we had a bigger home we could have my kids friends over who have ruff homes we could have dinners with community Bible study groups the list could go on but
I pray for financial breakthroughs in my life

I fell asleep listening to a podcastand i was woken up by this sermon, I heard it in my sleep and it spoke to me, I had to wake up from 2 hours of sleep and listen...
I haven't reached my breakthrough yet and I've been fighting for 2 years to find a job and to better my life with no breakthrough and complete silence and emptiness. I'm on the verge of giving up and I feel like God isn't there and feels like he doesn't even know I exist, because no matter how hard I pray and no matter how much work and effort I put in I fail... I'm so exhausted...
I pray for a breakthrough, I've been dull for too long 😔
I pray that God meets your needs and makes provision for you !
Cutting edge
Field of dreams 🤯
I need prayer for my wife and I to be filled with the Holy Spirit always
I’m getting my edge back !! Spiritual maturity was what God told me he wants for me. 🤍 thank you Jesus!
Prayer for my house hold for my house band to get deliverance! Pray for me to start sharp!

Dullness comes from discouragement 💜💜

We thank you for our families, friends, and loved ones who bring joy and support into our lives. We are thankful for the institution of marriage and the blessings it brings. We also thank you for our children, who are a source of love and purpose in our lives. May we always remember to be grateful for these precious gifts.We come before you with grateful hearts, Father God, thanking you for being our provider, our abba, our refuge.

Thank you for your love, guidance, and provision in our lives. We ask that you provide them with strength, wisdom, and guidance as they lead and shepherd your people.
