<p>It&rsquo;s natural to seek God when you are in need&mdash;when you&rsquo;re hungry for what He can give you. But there is more to the Bread of Life than blessings and miracles.

Giving isn’t just to bless people in need. Giving actually blesses the person who gives. When we give generously, it reminds us of how much we have to be thankful for. It also reminds us that God is our source. Giving takes our focus off of our possessions and moves our eyes toward the eternal.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/Sng6P5JAhK0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When Paul was at sea in a dangerous storm, the ship dropped four anchors to keep it away from destruction on the rocks. One of the keys to surviving the storm was to be anchored.

<p>Change can be scary, but it&rsquo;s often God&rsquo;s plan.

<p>Dr. Mike Evans was born to a Jewish mother and an abusive, alcoholic father who professed Christianity. Dr. Evans&rsquo; father viciously and regularly beat him, choked him, and cursed him.

<p>When we face challenges and struggles, we have hope because we know God loves us. When we mess up, we have hope because we know God restores us. Just as the Prodigal Son&rsquo;s earthly father received and restored him with love and compassion, our heavenly Father receives and restores us with love and compassion, in spite of our shortcomings. It may look like we&rsquo;re finished, but we&rsquo;re actually on the verge of a comeback&hellip;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/U_sb2DkXb4M" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Influence is powerful, and you likely have more of it than you think. Your friends, family, co-workers, and people you go to church with are influenced by the way you live your life.

<p>Joseph reached out to help everyone he could, and because of that his blessing was multiplied. The Bible says he was blessed because he reached beyond his walls. Because Joseph didn&rsquo;t become bitter when he was mistreated, his family, his community, and all the surrounding area survived a dreadful famine&mdash;and Joseph was abundantly blessed.

<p>David was the youngest of eight sons, and apparently no one saw greatness in him. When Samuel came to his house to anoint a king, David&rsquo;s father didn&rsquo;t even consider David as a candidate. He was just a kid out watching the sheep. But when David received the anointing, everything changed. The anointing made all the difference for David.

<p>Every man is drawn away when he is tempted by his own lusts. Peter summed it up in Acts 2 when he said, &ldquo;Save yourself from this wicked and perverse generation.&rdquo; That leads us to the most important responsibility of every man and woman.

<p>The riches of this world can crowd out our relationship with Jesus.

<p>Our attitudes and actions spring from our thoughts. Every good or bad thing we do started as a thought in our minds.

Those we love the most have the power to wound us the deepest. In those times of hurt and pain, how we respond is critical. Will we nurse resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness? Will we disconnect from the person who hurt us? Or will we invite God into the middle of the mess and the pain? Through God&rsquo;s great grace, we can be reconciled to those who hurt us. We can make the choice to love like we&rsquo;ve never been hurt.</span></span></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/-SaGh67TwO8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God&rsquo;s love is steadfast and unfailing. Even if you have been following Jesus from a distance, He loves you. Even if you have a horrible failure in your life, He stands with compassion, ready to forgive. Peter denied Jesus three times, but was later used in powerful ways to spread the gospel. Wherever you are right now in your spiritual walk, whatever you may have done in your past, God invites you to follow Him closely, and He wants to use your life in amazing ways.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/Vi1GuvdbA3Y" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Many of the women veterans, who helped maintain our freedom, come home after their service and face a real struggle. They have fallen through the safety net, dealing with addictions, homelessness, and poverty. Pastor Jentezen Franklin interviewed Matthew Barnett, founder of the Dream Center in Los Angeles, about a burgeoning ministry designed to give women veterans the help and hope they need to turn their lives around.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/iQakJ9q1k_s" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Truth is under attack in our nation. From evolution to abortion to taking prayer out of schools, the truth of God is being replaced by the ideas of man and the lies of Satan. When lies become more accepted than the truth, people become separated from God. They find themselves deceived, entangled in sin, and unable to find the way out of their plight. It&rsquo;s time to stop the lies and deception. Find out how to put truth back on its feet again in this timely message from Pastor Franklin.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/QDTG9d_62jU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God does not oppose you having good things, so long as they don&rsquo;t have you. Joseph was rich and a disciple and He did what He was able to do because of his wealth and status, and he leveraged his wealth and status to honor and serve Jesus. Are you using your influence to help the body of Christ?</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/tAqifWw00lU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God uses less-than-perfect places to prosper you. When others are unkind to you, will you stay faithful? When you feel all alone, will you still worship and dig in, or will your eyes go to the ends of the earth? Our tendency is to run and go somewhere else. But there are times when God says &ldquo;Stay right where you are!&rdquo; even when there is a famine all around you. In this message, we learn the significance of sowing into what you have, and the 100-fold blessing it brings forth!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/9gIuoin5UEY" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>There are immediate rewards for generous people. Don&rsquo;t rob God of the opportunity to bless you by neglecting generosity&mdash;make it a priority. The divine purpose of giving is not to receive it is to honor God. In this message, learn the five &ldquo;I wills&rdquo; from God, where He says&nbsp;<em>if you will, I will &hellip;&nbsp;</em>and see if God does not open a floodgate of blessing over YOUR life.&nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/AmIWnxQdyEU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Your subtraction gains God&rsquo;s attraction. Don&rsquo;t settle for being full; create a need for God. Many times we reach a point where we think we are just fine the way we are. But our God wants to respond to our needs. If you want God to continue to pour out His blessings, keep pouring out your requests. God requires a need&mdash;let Him know yours! &nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/KGBxHcJn4pg" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Grace is the Lord giving you something you don&rsquo;t deserve. Mercy is God holding back what you do deserve. We don&rsquo;t appreciate mercy until we need it. Mercy is one of the most powerful and profound gifts the Lord has ever given us. The law condemns, but mercy brings life! In this message with Jentezen Franklin, learn how your blessing is in more than just receiving God&rsquo;s mercy &hellip; there&rsquo;s a blessing in showing His mercy, too!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/od8kZLvxknA" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God has more grace than your disgrace. If you get knocked down, get back up. Resilience is what matters most. Do not allow yesterday to steal your tomorrow.

<p>The Bible speaks of a spiritual realm that takes prayer AND fasting to conquer. Daniel knew it. Paul knew it. Jesus knew it. You&nbsp;<b>MUST</b>&nbsp;know it too. You have things in your life that WILL not come off with just a colossal prayer.&nbsp;<i>YOU must fight through Fasting in addition to your prayers</i>. In this message, learn how your physical action through fasting moves God&rsquo;s hand in your favor.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/gL_6_i_DCd8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>The beginning of the year is a good time to get things straight! We need to take inventory, tune-up, tune in and make sure we&rsquo;re heading in the right direction. It&rsquo;s time to get aligned. If you want to be in the&nbsp;<i>correct position</i>&nbsp;to receive favor and blessing from the Lord, you have to&nbsp;<i>align</i>&nbsp;your priorities with God&rsquo;s word! In this message,&nbsp;Pastor Franklin discusses seven important things we need to do&nbsp;<i>first&nbsp;</i>in order to keep our lives aligned with God&rsquo;s Word.&nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/Tsb83BttMuU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Mary and Joseph lost Jesus during passover. They didn&rsquo;t lose relationship, they lost fellowship. We easily can miss our time with Jesus, too. The tree is up, the packages are wrapped, the car is serviced for travel ... but the Bible is closed. In this message, we learn to hold tight to the message of Christmas and experience the best gift of all.&nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/bE3-BT-ZPIw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When we break up the hard areas within our hearts, we open ourselves up to God&#39;s purposes. When we gather together in breakout faith, God has the ability to bring corporate and personal miracles! In this message learn to break up, and break out ... to get the breakthrough God has waiting for you!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/1TYZLYjFFNc" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Do you need a breakthrough? Then break out! Break out of the norm and do something different! If you keep doing the same thing, you&rsquo;ll keep getting the same thing. But I believe God wants to mark your life with incredible breakthrough. Learn how in this message from Jentezen Franklin</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/e8RJ6rXtfr0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>If it is big enough to worry about, I assure you, it is big enough to pray about. If you want to see miraculous breakthroughs for you and your family, talk to Him! God longs for us to initiate conversation with Him regarding the things that weigh heavy on us. Matthew 11:28 reminds us we are able to come to Him and He will give us rest and lighten our loads.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/5VFJ6k0QQEQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>The Word of God is the wisdom of God. If you read the Book, the Book will read you. If you spend time in the Word, you will increase in wisdom. Your purpose will never be contrary to God&#39;s Word. As you grow closer to Him, you will become more sensitive and aware of His presence. His sheep know His voice ... in this message learn to identify God opening doors, guiding your steps, and unlocking opportunity!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/1dF1nlDMNSo" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When God is trying to get your attention, He starts with a still small voice &hellip; like the flutter of a moth. God is speaking to us all the time: directing our steps, establishing boundaries, presenting opportunities. But we must learn to shut out the distractions and listen. What&rsquo;s interfering with your hearing? In this message you will discover how to turn down the noise and start listening for the flutter of the moth. Open your eyes to God at work around you!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/6lxdztDxJLk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When God chooses to bless you He sends a person. When Satan chooses to discourage you he sends a person. There are people who can help advance your purpose, and there are people sent to snuff it out. In this message, learn to be spiritually discerning and choose your relationships wisely.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/DbV6rgzX5EI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Maybe you&#39;ve been in a season where it seems like your dreams are dead. Well, God made a promise&mdash;and it&#39;s time for your comeback! The Lord is ready to bring back to life your purpose, your calling ... your assignment! And just like with Abraham, the promise of a comeback is not just for you, but also for your children and your children&#39;s children and generations to come. What&#39;s keeping you from your comeback, and what&#39;s it goign to take to get there?</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/zWmG7JLzXBk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>It&rsquo;s ok. Everybody feels like giving up &hellip; sometimes. But it&rsquo;s precisely in those moments that God calls us to be uncommon. The scripture has a lot to say about living life under pressure. And in this message, you&rsquo;ll learn 7 ways to fight back when you feel like caving in.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/3hGL4D2X-xU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When Jesus broke the bread, he was multiplying the miracle. Many times our breakthrough will come out of our brokenness. In this message we see how God uses what we have and what we&#39;ve been through to deliver the miracle we&#39;ve been waiting on.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/KqLNeoOfIBY" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>The first thing we learn about the Holy Spirit in the Bible is that He&rsquo;s always moving. The Spirit of the Lord is passing by us constantly, and it&rsquo;s not enough to just sit there and observe. What causes Him to stop and take notice? What can we do to make room for our miracle? We need the presence of God in our life, and we must be willing to cry out for Him. Faith, desperation, praise and worship will attract Him and cause Him to stop and take notice of you. God will come into your life with power if you make room for Him.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/vdGUbivbyVk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>If we don&rsquo;t take a stand for righteousness ... who will? Satan is doing everything in his power to tear down the walls of spiritual protection around those you love. There is a cause worth fighting for, and it is your spouse, your children&mdash;your family! In this message hear biblical instruction and learn the critical steps you need to take in order to protect your family against the attacks of the enemy.<br /> &nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/k3vfVoAdjdU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Every man is drawn away when he is tempted by his own lusts. Peter summed it up in Acts 2 when he said, &ldquo;Save yourself from this wicked and perverse generation.&rdquo; That leads us to the most important responsibility of every man and woman. It&#39;s the one responsibility that will guarantee your impact, your influence, and your eternal destination ...&nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/dLzd6jOdhUw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God listens, understands, loves and disciplines us as His children. Through this message, you&#39;ll learn valuable insight about God&#39;s perspective on parenting, how to experience His love as a Father and then, consider how to apply those lessons in your own family.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/POLYZ-j5vNk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>The enemy would love nothing more than to keep us chained to a spirit of lack and limitation. He comes to hinder and to devour. But the spirit of the Carpenter has come to advocate for us! The resistance, if we allow it, pushes us into our destiny! You are not a failure!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/H4YeQCgQBAU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When people are in expectation, the Lord pours out His spirit. In this message, learn what happens when we approach God in expectation. There is nothing between you and your miracle! He has been faithful in the past; He will be faithful in the future. He is trustworthy. Expect it!&nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/7xWe7FVo1z4" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>You are an HVT, a highly valued target. The longer you walk with Christ and the closer you get to Him, the more valuable you become to the enemy. If you feel like you&rsquo;re under attack, like you&rsquo;re dealing with things you&rsquo;ve never had to deal with before, and you feel like you&rsquo;ve made hell&rsquo;s most wanted list, it&#39;s because you are a high value target. The enemy will use any measure he can to separate you from those who make you strong. But God says NO weapon formed against you will prosper!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/7gRT2Co_Bs8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Your greatest temptation will come when you&rsquo;ve been provoked the most. When the rest of the world would agree, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s about time you did something,&rdquo; &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t blame you,&rdquo; &ldquo;I would&rsquo;ve done the same thing,&rdquo; you can guarantee you&rsquo;re facing temptation. Jesus said vengeance is mine; learn to trust God to defend you. The blessings of God far outweigh the satisfaction of revenge. There is nothing that&rsquo;s happened to you that God can&rsquo;t work out if you&rsquo;ll put it in His hands.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/fIQXwNntR_s" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God promises there&rsquo;s always more grace than sin. There&rsquo;s always a lighter burden, and there&rsquo;s always a way of escape. But the Devil is always overplaying his hand. He pushes and pushes until bad becomes unbearable. What he doesn&rsquo;t realize is he&rsquo;s pushing you right into God&rsquo;s grace!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/Nxxr3BWK4Y4" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>The doors to your destiny are already unlocked. It&rsquo;s time to take courage and walk by faith. When the enemy says, &ldquo;Go no further,&rdquo; God says, &ldquo;Keep moving!&rdquo; Discouragement and intimidation may try to hold you back, but if you&rsquo;ll take one step, God will take two. The favor of the Lord is going before you to open the doors of your future!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/Jzw8QpoEXM4" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Doors in the Bible are very important. Open doors give you access to something. Shut doors means you don&rsquo;t have access. Are you trusting God to open and close opportunities in your life? When He shuts a door, the enemy can&#39;t force you through. And when He opens a door, no man can close it! The Lord is your doorkeeper.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/KgCTZ33GDpE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Passion, zeal and enthusiasm are vital components of your Christian faith. Without them, victories lay dormant and potential stays hidden. In this message we learn to pursue every opportunity from the Lord with fervor and grit, accomplishing all He has planned for us. God is calling&mdash;and your response matters. Jump in, dive deep, and go after it!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/Ux7VBzZw_gY" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>No reserves. No retreat. No regrets. Are you living a life like that for Jesus? If He came back today, could you stand before Him in confidence? We serve a God of grace and mercy and second chances, but one day the trumpet will sound. Start living everyday in the &ldquo;power and the Holy Spirit and in much assurance&rdquo; of our Gospel!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/mRzp10mAJDE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God provided a way to sweeten your situation long before you needed it. And while hurt and disappointment can leave a bitter trail, following the Lord will always lead to more than you expected! Don&rsquo;t camp in the bitter place; move to the better place God has for you &hellip; under the Healing Tree.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/D6M1nczwmHI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>You cannot lean so far away from Christ that He will not reach out and keep you from falling &hellip; lean on Him. In this message we&rsquo;re reminded the darker the world gets, the brighter the Day Star shines. No matter how lost you feel God will guide you in the right direction. He will be there to prop you up &hellip; just lean on Him!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/8EZv7xK3EjM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God&rsquo;s promises may take time. You will be tempted to take shortcuts, or pursue plan B. But beware; sometimes shortcuts lead you off the path. God&#39;s best is worth the wait. It&rsquo;s worth the fight! Don&rsquo;t settle. Keep climbing! In this message, learn to take hold of that which God has predestined for you!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/p3AI4B5CjoA" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Whatever&#39;s trying to keep you down; it was defeated on Calvary. Any addiction, any sin, any bondage in your life; Jesus took it on at Calvary for you. And when He finished on the cross, He became our substitute. Jesus came to fight my battle. He came to fight your battle. And he won.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/opD-dffwxBY" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>There is an urgency attached to the Gospel. As believers, we hold the keys to eternity. We know The Truth that will set people free. We know that Jesus is the ONLY way to eternal salvation. Romans 10:14 says, &quot;how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him?&quot; It&rsquo;s our job to share the Gospel. It&rsquo;s our job to proclaim the Good News. When we stay quiet, we are like the one who doesn&#39;t &ldquo;hold back those stumbling to the slaughter&rdquo; (Proverbs 24 :11). Our silence is the greatest crime we could ever commit. And it&rsquo;s one for which we will be held responsible.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/C3HJGPUsRrc" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>John 10:10 tells us <em>the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.</em> The enemy’s methods have been the same from the beginning of time. He subtly takes truths and ever so slightly tweaks them into lies. Sex is not immune to these lies. We need to guard our marriages with the belt of truth and go on the offense to protect them.</p> <div id="x-content-band-6" class="x-content-band vc hidden" style="background-color: transparent; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"><div class="x-container wpb_row"> <div class="x-column x-sm vc x-1-1" style="" ><p><a href="http://jfmm-media.s3.amazonaws.com/2016/FizzletoSizzle.pt1/FizzletoSizzle-Part2.Podcast.mp3">Hidden Audio File Link for Podcast</a></p> </div></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/satbLBwjxbI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>When is the last time you went out of your way to sweep your spouse off their feet? Here’s a thought, schedule a babysitter. Take them out on the town! Wives, when your husband gets home from work, smack a big old kiss on him for no reason! Be spontaneous! It may take a little more effort these days, but isn’t it worth it? Isn’t your family worth it?</p> <div id="x-content-band-7" class="x-content-band vc hidden" style="background-color: transparent; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"><div class="x-container wpb_row"> <div class="x-column x-sm vc x-1-1" style="" ><p><a href="http://jfmm-media.s3.amazonaws.com/2016/FizzletoSizzle.pt1/FizzletoSizzle-Part%201.mp3">Hidden Audio File Link for Podcast</a></p> </div></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/GA3gK-Vf7Cg" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Though it may be easy to nullify your marriage on paper, the hidden shockwaves continue to devastate those in its path. And much to many people&rsquo;s surprise, the ripple effect stretches further than the two involved. Divorce wrecks.</p> <div class="x-content-band vc hidden" id="x-content-band-5" style="background-color: transparent; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> <div class="x-container wpb_row"> <div class="x-column x-sm vc x-1-1" style=""> <p><a href="http://jfmm-media.s3.amazonaws.com/2016/CaveofCouples.podcast.mp3">Hidden Audio File Link for Podcast</a></p> </div> </div> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/stniTLTz9iw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>From Moses to Elijah, the disciples to Paul, and even Jesus Himself, we see God delighting in the masculinity of men. He doesn&rsquo;t ask them to sit around in choir robes singing &ldquo;Kumbaya.&rdquo; No, we see His hand working mightily through their strength, courage, and boisterous personalities. He never requires them to succumb to timidity, passivity or something they weren&rsquo;t wired for. He celebrates their manhood.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/J0inFnQ6Gjs" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>God Will Provide for You: God is a provider. We see it over and over again through Scripture, and day in and day out all around us. In this message with Jentezen Franklin we learn that He wants to do more than just sustain us&mdash;He wants to bless us! Give Him your whole heart, and see if He doesn&rsquo;t poor out His provision on your life!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/sKilzfOCLUc" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>We are not owners of anything, but we are stewards of everything. When we keep a tight fist on those things that pass through our hands, our &quot;bags&quot; will grow holes. The key to living a prosperous life is to invest our resources, time, and gifts back into others. Kingdom investors&mdash;you are blessed, to bless others! After all, we can&#39;t bring anything with us in the end.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/yobr3osIKUo" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>If you are standing at a crossroads and you feel there is no way out&mdash;there is! As long as you have breath, there is hope. God doesn&rsquo;t want you to wait until you have your life together. God wants to take you as you are right now, and lead you onto the right path.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/TRwJDZkEg88" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>There are two distinctively different definitions for alignment&mdash;both have significant spiritual implications. First of all, alignment refers to arrangement in a straight line, or in correct position. Secondly, alignment refers to a position of agreement or alliance. If you want to be in the correct position to receive favor and blessing from the Lord, you have to align your priorities with God&rsquo;s word!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/vlecv3dnHDM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>Our enemy is not easily distinguishable. If you don&rsquo;t know much about him, you may not realize he is at work, but he certainly is. Masking himself as an angel of light, he fights with subtle mistruths, discouragements and defeats. Strategic, strong and sinister he aims his fiery arrows at us in hopes of our demise. But lucky for us, we have weapons that prepare us for a guaranteed victory.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/hDdYW4Tk25Y" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

<p>In Ruth chapter 3, Naomi gave Ruth instructions to prepare to meet her bridegroom. She was preparing to devote her life to Him in the same way we are devoting ourselves to God through fasting.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jentezenfranklin/hGbl/~4/mtAuGfz-y0w" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
