One With Him So I'll Be One With Them
January 02, 2022 06:00Being one with God is such an essential aspect of your life. As believers, we are called to avoid division that can lead to a disconnect between you and God. You may ask why unity is so significant? In this week’s message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin shares the keys to the power of unity and what it means to stop picking one another apart and love like God loves.
Christmas in Color
December 26, 2021 06:00The story of Christmas erases misconceptions about God and who He is. Jesus came because God loves us so much and He wanted to express that love. Jesus is our example of how God loves, thinks, and feels. This Christmas, experience God’s amazing love through our musical spectacular, Christmas in Color, with a special message from Jentezen Franklin.
Christmas Candlelight Service
December 18, 2021 06:00Christmas is truly a season of giving. Sometimes the stress of “giving” takes the joy out of the Holiday as parents, friends and family who want so badly to give the very best gifts are left feeling like they can’t do enough. But what if all your loved ones want from you is, well, you. In a world that is focused on exalting self—self-esteem, self-awareness, self-confidence, self-image, self-sufficiency, self-improvement, and even selfies!—what if you humbled yourself? What if this C...
So What If They Don't Believe?
December 12, 2021 06:00There are dreams and goals that God has placed within each of us. It may be a dream of starting a ministry or business, or it could be to see a loved one accept Christ. But what happens when your dream faces discouragement and doubt? In this week's message, Jentezen Franklin gives you 3 keys to standing on the promises of God in the midst of opposition.
How to Finish Stronger Than You Started
November 28, 2021 06:00You can find the faith to overcome and finish stronger than you started! You can do better than you’re doing right now. In “How to Finish Stronger Than You Started,” you’ll see that how your story began is far less important than the direction you’re traveling now. Are you moving toward God, or away from Him? Just because you had a bad start, or made some poor decisions along the way, doesn’t mean you have to walk out that destination. You can change the course of your future today!...
I Love My Master
November 21, 2021 06:00Your faith is a choice. When you walk with Jesus, you are always free to leave. But the closer you get to Him, the less you will want to wander away. God’s love is complete and secure. He knows that if we walk away, sooner or later, we’ll be back, because the world cannot offer anything close to the love, the peace, and the hope He gives to us freely. He doesn’t demand your love, or that you obey His Word, He gives you a choice. He said, “If anyone loves Me he will keep My word.” In...
Prayer Service with Jentezen Franklin
November 14, 2021 06:00When you pray, you’re aligning your life with God’s will. You’re speaking and listening. You’re seeking and learning. You’re giving and receiving. Your prayer life is like Jacob’s ladder. It’s the foundation of your connection and communication with God. The bigger the foundation, the bigger God can build on! And it’s so much more than a chance to ask for what you want. Prayer is your opportunity to send up your praise, adoration, and gratitude, as well as your worries, your desires...
Prayer is the Priority
November 06, 2021 06:00We were made in God’s image for the purpose of fellowship with Him. It has always been about a daily relationship with God. Our prayer life is the key to that relationship To forget to pray is to forget God. This week with Jentezen Franklin learn to make prayer a priority.
God Uses Life's Bruises
October 31, 2021 06:00Do you ever catch yourself wishing for a wrinkle-free, worry-free life? It seems like, from the outside, those lives exist. But let’s be honest. Have you ever actually met someone with a wrinkle-free, worry-free life? It’s pretty much the law of nature that no one makes it through life without taking some punches. No one makes it to the finish line without making some bad decisions. Sometimes we’re tempted to believe that the dents and dings in our life disqualify us from being used...
Faith in the Father's House
October 24, 2021 06:00Your faith is more precious than gold, more precious than anything in your life. Sometimes we have to go through difficult times to be reminded how important our faith really is. The heroes in the Bible lived lives of extreme faith that sustained them in times of great trial, even unto death. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, learn that even when you are in a time of testing and proving, even when your circumstances are not good, you must hold on to your faith and believe God ...
Three Secrets to Entering Your Promised Land
October 17, 2021 06:00The Promised Land. What does that bring to mind when you hear it? A land flowing with milk and honey? Sounds nice, right? But let me ask you this, what is your promised land? When we think of a land flowing with milk and honey, it sounds like a nice and relaxing place to chill out and be grateful. But there is a cost to entering the promised land: utter belief and dependence on God. He is calling you to an adventure in faith. Will you follow wherever He leads? No matter what?
Where Is God
October 10, 2021 06:00Have you ever been through a season of life where it seemed God had just up and vanished? Maybe you’re in one of those seasons right now, where you feel like crying out, “God where are you?” Even when you know God will never abandon you, sometimes there is fear or doubt in your heart. Maybe even anger or resentment. But, as you’ll learn with Jentezen Franklin in this message, even when it feels like God is impossible to find, there is a roadmap that leads us to faith, perseverance, ...
Let Us Worship
October 03, 2021 06:00God is inviting us to lift our voices to him. In times like this, praise and worship is our most effective weapon, and crying out to God is our true source of hope. In this powerful revival experience, with Jentezen Franklin and Sean Feucht, your heavy burdens will be lifted as you exalt the Lord and enter into His presence.
What Great Faith Can Do
September 26, 2021 06:00Only you and I can make God marvel. You can astonish God. When you believe His word above what you see, and more than what you feel, God marvels at you. Seas parting, a donkey talking, a man coming out of the belly of a whale, and God did not marvel. An ax head floating in the Jordan, a bush burning and booming with a voice in the wilderness, water coming out of rocks, and God was not astonished. But when a mere man—not even a religious man—humbled himself and believed in the power...
This is Not Your Final Chapter
September 13, 2021 06:00Do you ever think of your life as a story? If not, why not? Scripture calls Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. He says there are good works which He’s prepared for us to do in advance. God has been telling His story through all of human history, and if your life is part of a larger story, that means you’re in a chapter right now. What you’re experiencing is not the whole story, there’s more to be told. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, you’ll learn to understand your...
What to do When You Are Running on Empty
September 06, 2021 06:00If your spirit was a fuel tank, how full would you say it is right now? Are you filled to overflowing? Do you have enough to get you through the day? The week? Or are you running on fumes? There will be seasons and circumstances in our lives that seem to drain us of every last drop of anointing and spiritual food. Times when you know you still love God, but stirring your spirit feels like raising the dead. Those moments are dangerous, and the enemy will try to convince us to throw i...
On a Prophetic Journey
August 29, 2021 06:00Have you ever been through a season in your life where you just can’t understand it? When you trace the line of your past to your present, it doesn’t seem to tell you anything about your future? Often we forget that our life has an author—a loving father who chose to write our name into His story. And He wants to tell a fascinating story through our days... if we’ll let Him. Today you’ll learn from Pastor Jentezen Franklin that we’re not in this story alone. In fact, God will speak ...
It's Your Funeral, Enjoy It!
August 22, 2021 06:00The children of Israel passed through the water, but the enemy pursuing them was swallowed up by it. Water baptism is the place of separation; it is the place where we bury our enemies. Baptism is the pool where we leave our past. It’s the washing away of our mistakes. It’s diving into the life God has planned for us! In this message with Jentezen Franklin, “It’s Your Funeral, Enjoy It!” hear unforgettable words from everyday people, and witness firsthand the power of baptism, plus ...
The Five Ingredients of an Anointed Life
August 15, 2021 06:00There are five things you must have in your life for the anointing of the Lord to be present. Each is critical to taking your walk with Christ to the next level. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, learn what you can do to experience a greater level of the power and presence of God in your life.
The Power of Bold Prayers
August 08, 2021 06:00Have you ever held back on your prayers because you were afraid God wouldn’t come through? If we only ask for what we think is possible in our own ability, we limit God. He’s not looking for small, polite prayers. God is honored by bold requests. When we pray unwaveringly and expectantly, it’s actually an expression of our faith in him. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, we learn that with great faith comes bold prayers!
What the Holy Spirit Wants to Do Through You
August 01, 2021 06:00If you’ve ever thought church was a drag, I’m afraid you didn’t get a chance to know the real Jesus. When we look at the Jesus revealed to us in Scripture, we find that He was, quite literally, the life of the party. In fact the very minute God chose to launch Jesus’ ministry was at a party. You probably know the story; they ran out of wine and Jesus made more. What He made was better than anything they’d ever had! Wherever Jesus went, He brought life and love. As you listen to this...
Then Jesus Came
July 26, 2021 06:00You are not alone. You are not the first to feel a void, or to think something is missing in your life. You’re not the only one who thinks your mistakes are unforgivable. But you are the one Jesus came for. And when Jesus comes, He changes things. Take a moment to listen or watch this message with Jentezen Franklin, and let the presence of God change things for you.
Tell the Time Traveler to Keep on Traveling
July 18, 2021 06:00There is a fight for space in our minds. We are bombarded with negative, immoral, and divisive thoughts from almost every direction we turn. We cannot always control the thoughts that enter our minds, but we can choose to feed them or starve them. We can choose to dwell on the anger, the lust or the jealousy, or we can shift our focus and tell those traveling thoughts to keep on moving. Choose how you think, and you're choosing your path. Control your thoughts, and control your futu...
God's Promise for Broken Families
July 04, 2021 06:00There’s a prophetic promise in Jeremiah 31 for every mother and father who are weeping for their lost children. You may feel helpless and desperate now, but a word from God can change everything. I believe this word will change your perspective, change your outlook, and restore your hope for what’s to come. God said “your work will be rewarded … they will return from the land of the enemy.”
Climbers
June 27, 2021 06:00Being near the Lord is worth the climb. It will always be easier to quit, but God is looking for climbers; those who dare to dream dreams and live a life that requires faith. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, learn what blessings are waiting on top of the mountain when you’re willing to make the uphill climb. Are you up to the challenge?
Defending Your Field of Dreams
June 13, 2021 06:00Have you ever had a defining moment when you knew that God was speaking to you and Giving you specific guidance and direction for your life? If you have, you probably remember the place and time vividly. It’s that place where God gave you a glimpse of what he had in mind when he dreamed you up in eternity past. Well that destiny doesn’t just happen. You can be sure that the enemy will do all that he can to keep you from becoming all that God wants you to be. In this message with Jen...
Just Add Water
June 06, 2021 06:00If you look throughout the history of the church, there have been many issues that divide denominations and create confusion. Baptism is one of those issues. Some people get sprinkled with water as babies in elaborate ceremonies. Others get dunked in a backyard pool or river in their jeans and t-shirt. Some believe baptism doesn’t matter at all, while others believe if you’re not baptized, you’re not even saved. With all the confusion, many adult Christians still don’t understand wh...
Change Your Words, Change Your Life
May 30, 2021 06:00What is your overall outlook on life? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Do you tend to see silver linings, or do you mostly see gray skies and rain? Think about this: God spoke the world into creation, then He created man in His image... and gave him the power to speak! What does that mean for you and me? God says in Isaiah, He creates the fruit of our lips. The words we say affect our world. In this message with Pastor Jentezen Franklin, you’ll see how the fastest way to change y...
Flies in the Ointment
May 23, 2021 06:00The heat of the summer brings house flies, gnats, and mosquitos. Where we live in Georgia, if you don’t take them on early and come up with a strategy to protect your home, they’ll overtake you! They take over your house, your yard and before you know it, they are everywhere. Scripture says sin is like a fly defiling something that is precious. Are we as careful to protect our heart against sin as we are protecting our home against insects? In this message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin ...
Covering the Uncovered
May 16, 2021 06:00How opposed are you in your life right now? Sometimes it seems just when we’re trying to grow in our faith or calling, everything is stacked against us. We ask God over and over to clear the obstacles and make the path ahead smooth. But what if the hardship you’re experiencing now is only preparing you for the growth you’re seeking? In this message Pastor Jentezen Franklin shows us that the amount of opposition we face is directly proportional to the size of our calling. If you’ve f...
Saul's Last Supper
April 24, 2021 06:00You see them everywhere. It’s usually a small house on the side of the road with a sign that says Psychic Readings. Or maybe you come across an ouija board or tarot cards at a garage sale. Our tendency is to chuckle and roll our eyes, but the occult is no laughing matter. In fact, if you believe scripture then you know there are indeed people who are empowered by evil with dark powers. In this message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin will share the story of one of God’s chosen who turned t...
The Remedy for Worry
April 11, 2021 06:00There are seasons in our life when God can’t easily be seen. But even when you can’t see Him, when you can’t feel Him, when the night is dark and it seems like there’s no way out of the situation, He is working! Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
Heroes for the Body of Christ
April 04, 2021 06:00The greatest story for Christians is the story of the resurrection. But prior to the resurrection, there was an event that holds an incredible lesson for believers today. In this week’s message we see an unusual hero emerge in the night. A hero who was both wealthy, and a disciple of Jesus. You can be both. God is looking for heroes in this dark hour who have influence, and He’s looking for those who are willing to beg for the Body of Christ. We’ve all suffered through this difficul...
The Goats
March 14, 2021 06:00Goats are a very important symbol in Scripture. In both Old and New Testaments they represent sin, shame, and punishment. And it seems once we pick up that goat, it’s hard to get rid of the stench—the guilt or weight of our choices. The truth is we’re all carrying goats around. It might be the goats of immorality or lying, of envy or pride. Whatever it is they represent in our life, they make it hard for us to come to God with confidence. But in this message with Jentezen Franklin, ...
Born To Win
February 14, 2021 06:00Who Are you? What a loaded question, right? There are so many voices in our head competing for our belief. There’s the voice of our hopes and dreams, the voice of our past. Maybe there’s the voice of our parents or siblings; our classmates and coworkers. Can I ask you another question? Who does God say you are? The good news is the answer is clearly spelled out in scripture. Once you start to get your head and heart around what God says about you, the battle is on! If we want to exp...
Chase the Roar
February 07, 2021 06:00What’s keeping you from your goals? From fulfilling your purpose? Enough with the excuses! Enough with justifying failure in your life. If you want to be free, you can get free. If you want to change, you can change. If you want to be a better person, you can be a better person! If you want to have joy, you can have joy. In Chase the Roar, with Jentezen Franklin, learn what it takes to chase away the excuses once and for all, and make this the year you finally step into your destiny...
Out Numbered, Out Resourced, and Out of Options
January 31, 2021 06:00We live in a world of choices. We’re used to having options with just about everything from the brand of cereal we buy, to the color of our car. But what happens when your choices run out? When it comes to more serious issues like your job, your health, or concerns with your children, running out of choices can quickly make you feel overtaken by the problem. Pastor Jentezen explains in this message, while you may feel overtaken, you’re not forsaken! When options run out, opportunities open f...

Transferable Faith
January 24, 2021 06:00Faith is the currency of heaven, and praise is the language of faith. In this week’s message with Pastor Jentezen Franklin, learn how you can build transferable faith and pass it on to the next generation.
Fasting is Hungering for God
January 17, 2021 06:00Fasting is hungering for God. It's hunger that drives you and compels you. But it’s what you feed on that leads you to the place God has for you. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, identify what’s filling your hunger. If it’s not spiritual, it’s carnal. If it’s not leading you toward God, it may be drawing you away.
How To Be More Blessed Than Ever Before
January 03, 2021 06:00Did you know Jesus spoke more about money, possessions, and generosity than heaven or hell? It’s true. In fact, in the entire Bible money and possessions are the second most talked about topic. So why do we feel uncomfortable talking about it in church? In this message with Jentezen Franklin you’ll learn how our handling of money and possessions is linked to our spiritual health. God wants to bless us—sometimes with money, sometimes with what money cannot buy—more than ever before. ...
Show Yourself Alive
December 27, 2020 06:00God sets limits on our trouble. He’s got an expiration date on our grief, our sorrow, and our pain. We may not be able to see tomorrow, but God is thinking ahead! There’s an end to our present circumstances and it’s time to show yourself alive! In this message Jentezen Franklin, you’ll see God’s pattern of triumph after trouble throughout the Bible, and get the inspiration you need today to hold on for tomorrow!
Choosing Not to Fight
December 13, 2020 06:00God knows exactly what He’s doing because He is sovereign. The carnal mind cannot understand the mind of the Spirit because His ways are not our ways nor are His thoughts our thoughts. They are so much higher. David loved God and everything associated with God---worship, His House, the Word, and the people of God. God loved that David would never raise his sword against His own people, even when he had every right to. David only fought for his people---never against them because of ...
Can Jesus Use Me?
December 06, 2020 06:00Do you ever wonder, “Am I someone God can use?” Many of us think our past disqualifies us. We think our weakness or failures disqualify us. We believe God only uses great men and women who are far better than us. But throughout scripture we see God take weak, broken people from all kinds of backgrounds, and use them to accomplish His purposes. He’s even been known to use animals a time or two. There is something all of those used by God have in common. Join Jentezen Franklin in t...
Worship is a Big Deal to Me
November 29, 2020 06:00Christians and non-believers alike are experiencing the current turmoil and uncertainty of our world. We are looking for the same answers, but have a different source. Now is the time for God’s people to let the earth hear our worship. We must bring the sound of victory and salvation to a world in desperate need of hope. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, you’ll learn just how important your worship is. It’s much, much more than voices raised in the sanctuary … it’s our weapon...
Church is a Big Deal to Me
November 22, 2020 06:00Everything happens online now: work, school, grocery shopping, concerts … Many people will even spend the holidays only seeing their extended families through a lens. Our bodies and minds are adjusting to this new norm, and we’re even enjoying some of the comfort and convenience. But our souls know something is missing. We were created for company. We were created for fellowship. Church is a very big deal, and we all need it!
Raise Your Voice, Part 2
November 15, 2020 06:00The enemy has no allies. He attacks his own just as he attacks those who are striving to live for God. The difference is that you and I, as children of God, have access to help! In these unprecedented times, we are all fighting battles. Some of you are facing fear and uncertainty that you’ve never known, and we cannot stay silent and pretend everything is OK. As you’ll learn in this message, silence is a sin in the “city.” When you’re in the “city of God” all you have to do is raise...

Somebody Always Will
October 25, 2020 06:00After every assault by the enemy, somebody always survives. Even though there are others that fall, there are always those who remain standing and are able to survive what kills others. There will be people who will go through terrible times and some will make it out and some will not. The devil will never get us all. Someone always makes it through. Why can’t that person be you? We are facing a flood of Satan’s attacks in 2020---but we have a faithful God and somebody will alway...
Sanitize Your Spirit
October 18, 2020 06:00In the midst of this pandemic, washing our hands is a prime defense against COVID-19. But let us not forget the importance of a clean heart. In this message with Jentezen Franklin, learn why keeping clean hands and a clean heart is vital to staying in the presence of God.
