Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: W.A.T.C.H


You have a purpose in this life. If you are not watchful you will be replaced. God will continue working but not through you!

\

"32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." Mark 13:32-37

W.A.T.C.H stands for

1) Watch out for Words

*Watch out for words that come from the devil 
*Watch out for words that come from others
*Watch out for words that come from your mouth

"\The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them." Mark 11:23

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29

2) Watch your Attitude

*Children copy more than they listen! They will copy your love for God, your value for worship and how you lead your life.
*Be positive, be happy, have joy!!
*Have a good outlook on life

"Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy." Psalms 47:1

"The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad."Psalms 118:24

"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones." Proverbs 15:30

3) Watch your Temptation

*Everyone is tempted!
*Sin thrills until it kills and excites until it assassinates
*Jesus Himself was tempted, but He over came it! Even us, through His blood, are able to overcome temptation.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."John 16:33

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

4) What your Character

*Even if you mess up, but you have integrity, God will help you get out of it!

"Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her."Genesis 20:6

5) Watch your Household

*Protect your family and don't allow the enemy to claim them. 

"When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan."Genesis 14:14

"They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Acts 16:31

Stay Blessed<3

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...

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...
