The Power of Distraction | Pastor Jentezen Franklin

[@JoseGarcia-bj2wg]

I am a eleven year old and I am listening to this and it got my heart beating God has spoken through my mom because just 40 mins ago she told me stop being so distracted by the phone listen to a preach or something of God and I thank her for that without her I wouldn't be seeing this awesome word

[@watchmenwall1479]

Good young man to obey your mama and to obey the Lord and godly leadership that Jesus brings into your life .

[@jayg5588]

God bless you.

[@GoldenGraham25]

Awwwww..... May God keep His hand on your precious heart. Don’t ever leave him honey. The world is not worth it. Obey your mama and love on Jesus! It will take you far.

[@jaywjay2011]

Wow that is awesome, are you still listening to Mom

[@maybetheearthdoesntevenexi6282]

God bless you man

[@LAKatwoman]

I did a lot of work on social media specifically Instagram. For 1 year the God has been telling me to take a break from it but I didnt. April 19 this year I gave my life my life to Jesus and finally surrendered to the call. I haven't been on social media since May 2020. I know God has a plan for my platforms but until I hear it clearly from him I do not see myself going back just yet.

[@TGGTheGloryofGod]

Congratulations, my sister; the presence of God is sweet; I have been there before, and now I'm struggling to return to the Lord. Just remember me in your prayer.

[@michellejackson5217]

I needed this exact message today. Thank you, Jesus.

*The Devil loves Distraction because Distraction is the ENEMY OF DISCIPLESHIP*

[@nl9490]

It is my first time listening to him. Wow! I see the lights and I can see everyone! Most churches are so dark and focus lights on pastors or the worship leaders. That’s another distraction Satan comes. Love his message and His Words His Words we need to dig...🙂🙏🏽👍

[@nl9490]

Actually this church is also have dark rooms during singing....why people follow what the world is doing....this singing in the dark room reminds me of Satan loves dark places ...love his message but ask yourself why dark room? Focus the lights on all people...

[@micfle]

@@nl9490 I don't believe it's anywhere near being satanic but for a more intimate time of worship with the Father.

[@joycechumba7685]

Great preaching Pastor Jentzen

[@jasminevault9412]

I decided to fast from Facebook awhile ago and it was the best decision I could have ever made. We should never be so caught up in anything or anyone that we lose ourselves or our relationship with God! He deserves so much of our attention.

[@bea_mom_3]

Jasmine Beverly I did the same thing THEN AFTER THE FAST I AM ON FIRE FOR JESUS ON FACEBOOK!!!! I keep thinking back every other day about the huge change.... praise God!!! Spreading the good news while I still can 💕🔥‼️🙌♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jameswillson65]

That is so true we live in a world so over populated and God doesn't get no where near as much attention as the amount of people that live in the world

[@jasminevault9412]

Great service. I did go to my local church, but I enjoy your services too. I saw some one post “I just said a prayer for you” and I liked that. From now on I say that after I pray rather than idly saying I’ll pay for you.

i do have to be grateful for KZbin though , here I find so many great messages like this one to hear every morning!

[@lizpowell5697]

It's a hate love relationship. Many of us use it for the good like you and I do and use for research. Sure can't fall for everything coming down the pipe and soooooo many get into some bad stuff with these phones. Thank God for good messages like this.

[@maevephipson2803]

0h Wow! Praise the Lord that I heard your message. I have been glued to my phone, sending daily blessings, prayers and listening to the preaching of Perry Stone (in his message I watched this morning he mentioned your name and said you were a 'preaching machine' ) and have been receiving little darts from the Holy Spirit for months because I have stopped praying, reading my Bible, letting my daily chores back up and feeling so guilty about spending so much time on my phone. I am a retired, 73 yr old Widow. I do go to church and I am a musician in our church Worship team, however your 'wake up' call was just what I needed to get off the phone, get my daily chores done timeously, and spend more quality time in His Word and in prayer. So I will go back to reading my daily devotional, reading the Bible and praying first thing in the morning, then check any messages, get on with my chores, and any free time left over in the day I will get on to my phone and watch some preaching videos. I would mention that my phone is left in my car when I go to church, when I visit friends. Being old school my phone is not to be seen or heard in church, cinemas, restaurants, meetings, visiting family or friends and I get very annoyed when I visit family and have to play second fiddle to a mobile phone!. Manners maketh man/woman went out the window when smart phones came on the scene. They are indeed very distracting. Praise Him for getting me back on track with your powerful sermon 🤗

Fantastic….. as always! I’m 70 and was taught to use my iPhone but I’m not addicted at all. I’m watching your sermon because I had to go to my ER this sunday morning so I missed my regular 5 hours watching my favorite Daystar pastors so I got home and used my iphone to find my pastors I greatly missed this Sunday morning. I listened to this one and I cried and cried because it is all soo true. I worry for my children and granddaughter though they know the LORD our world is distracted to being “ upside down”! Priorities are non existent and it’s all just tragic! Fantastic sermon I’m sending info to to help others learn From Pastor Franklin’s great knowledge and understanding! Thank you!

[@alexponcesv]

this is the kind of preaching we all need to hear in this age .. very relevant .. thank you for reminding us Pastor

[@Godistheanswerministries]

Pastor Franklin.. You are correct. Right now we are being conditioned to worship the image of the Antichrist. My prayer is that the members of the body of Christ spiritually wake up. To the members of the body of Christ that are spiritual awake. Stay awake! Your living for Lord Jesus isn’t in vain. God Bless You All..

[@dalisombewe1431]

Watching via KZbin, thank you for the timely word sir. I get distracted everytime, Lord give me the strength to resist.

[@carlavigil1988]

I was talking to one of my kids as they were on utube. I was carrying a one person conversation with myself. I told her she was not listening to me. She said she was. I asked her a question during my conversation to myself. She didnt know what the question was. She is addicted to her phone and my grand daugter is being ignored by her. Please pray for her that God would set the captive free. I love to have conversation I really dont care for text messaging unfortunately this is the only way most people communicate with each others. Proverbs 10:19 When we talk we need to be slow to speak and slow to anger. Wise in our speech to cultivate good seed which produces good fruit. Pray that I will not get entangled and held captive in the ways of this world. That I would always put God first. Thank you pastor I always enjoy and glean from your messages good things.

This was great! For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; Jesus is coming back, are you ready?

[@naomia5475]

Yes, we need to submit to the lord, resist the devil’s temptation and he will flee. It is in our nature to sin, but through God’s grace we are able to overcome the desires of sin over us. We just need to grow closer to him daily by not pleasing our flesh but following the Holy Spirit instead 👌🏾
