Sermon by Jentezen Franklin : Permanently Inked

 The blood of Jesus Christ turns us from losers to winners!


1) The devil wants you to think you are unworthy, that you were born to lose, he wants to tattoo that on your mind. Then if you let him, you start acting out what you think in your head. 

 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee." Proverbs 23:7

2) But don't be overcome by the devil's tattoo,because anyone in Christ is a new Creation 

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

3) What the devil wants you to think is that you are just a servant..that you are a nobody to God

"18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants." Luke 15:18-19

4) What God wants you to know..that you are His beloved child, as long as you repent and go running back to Him..He will receive you with joy gladness and open arms :) 

"20 So he got up and went to his father.“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate." Luke 15:20-24

HOW TO REMOVE THE TATTOO (the one the devil inked)

The clinical procedure to remove a tattoo consists of two things

1) The light applied on the skin
Biblically speaking you know the light is the Word of God..Apply that on the outside  (be listeners, and readers of the word)

2) The light alone won't remove the tattoo, the blood within needs also to move together with the light in order to cleanse the skin
Biblically speaking the Blood that has the power to cleanse and wash is the Precious blood of Jesus Christ. Being listeners of the word only isn't going to cleanse you; but together with the blood of Christ it will do the trick!

"By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil." Proverbs 16:6
Where Mercy : is the blood of Christ
and Truth : is God's word

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender!  1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the  substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends,  although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,  I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend  for the faith  that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :)   When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that  it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
