Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Now

Jesus Christ is the greatest gift we have been given. Next to Jesus Christ, the second gift is Today, the power of NOW! If we aren't careful just the same way Jesus was crucified between two thieves we will crucify our Now between two thieves; between Yesterday and Tomorrow!


1) Now is when the miracles unfold : God doesn't save the best for last He saves the best for NOW! Then Miracles start happening.

"9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him." John 2:9-11

2) Now is when you need to use your faith : When you have faith NOW and you praise God even before you see victory is when you see victory! 

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

3) Now is when you need to walk with God: Some people start their lives by walking with God, then they slow down and stand then they will be found sitting. We need to walk with God NOW, not back then not in the future!

"Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers," Psalms 1:1


4) Now is when God gives you grace for today : God gives you the strength and grace, to deal with challenges of today, NOW! 

"The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,
    and your strength will equal your days." Deuteronomy 33:25

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

5) Now is when we need to open our eyes and see : Sometimes we miss miracles of NOW by looking in to the past or the future!

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19


Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
