Transformation Church’s Lead Pastor Michael Todd is known for crowd surfing during his church’s worship service and spending a lot of money. In the last two years he’s given away $3,500,000 in houses, cash, and cars, spent $65,000 to buy 168 pairs of shoes, gave $600,000 away in “reparations” and purchased a real estate complex for over $20,000,000, and then another for $35,000,000.
Now, you can add winner of the most disgusting, bible-twisting sermon illustration ever.
During a January 16, 2022 sermon illustration, Todd hocked a loogie into his hands multiple times and rubbed the contents into a man’s face on stage, in order to satisfy some sick sermon illustration in a perverse imitation of Jesus healing the blind man in John 9:6. Todd asserts the revulsion people were experiencing at seeing him do it, is the same revulsion people will have with them as they pursue their dream, as sometimes receiving a vision from God means things sometimes get ‘nasty.”
The disgusting display included all sorts of scripture twisting, least of which is that Jesus spit on the ground and rubbed in some dirt to make a paste, not rub in a loogie full of mucus and smear it repeatedly over his face. Todd explains:
This is where most people would not face Jesus anymore. What most people would do is turn away. What I’m telling you is just as he’s physically standing here, knowing what’s coming, God saying ‘can you physically and spiritually and emotionally be able to stand when getting the vision or receiving it, might get nasty.’
I’m gonna say it in a point just like that. Receiving vision from God might get nasty. You mean ‘God I just bought, in crazy faith, I just bought my dream car. And now you’re going to ask me to sell it back and ride in the (hoopty?) again?’
Yeah, because the vision I’m about to give you, it might get nasty. Do you hear and see the responses of the people? What I’m telling you is how you just reacted, is how the people in your life will react when God is doing what it takes for the miracle. What are you saying? This man was blind and what (Jesus) was trying to do with this man is give him his DNA”
