    Change is temporary but transformation through Christ is permanent. Wow, that was such a true statement he made at 4:30 and yes we will sometimes fall into sin but it’s different when the Holy Spirit is in you reveling your sin to you.

    ​ the LORD JESUS CHRIST is GOD in the flesh. the LORD came into the world with two Natures, truly Man and truly GOD. GOD is SPIRIT and in the Gospels, before the LORD physically died (in the Nature of Man), HE released HIS SPIRIT (which we know GOD is SPIRIT). 3 days later, the LORD JESUS CHRIST rose from the dead and conquered and defeated sin and death, but not only that, HE proved everything HE did and said was, and still is, true. JESUS is LORD. JESUS is GOD. the LORD GOD Almighty reigns forever and ever. you, too, can become a child of GOD, adopted and sealed by the HOLY SPIRIT. please turn away from all of your sins and live all to the glory of GOD alone! GOD bless you! :)

    Not sure I believe all his stories, or his "Christianity" and here's why. He takes no responsibility for his violent acts. Instead he says he "stepped outside himself" to do it, as if it wasn't his nature. In other words, the real Franzese isn't to blame. Bull. He says it every time he speaks. It's a BS line. He is completely at fault and made decisions to do the things he did. He should be a man and say so, instead of hiding from the truth. He was violent, and he was a thief, and only HE made that choice for himself, not some outside influence that he suggests with his clever words. He's still a con man, but now he's trying to con God. Good luck with that. There is no redemption, according to God, without humility and honesty. Franzese is yet to display either one.

    Loray keep doing that send prayer requests to all you know the more the better. I raised my son a single dad when he turned 13 and was into rap music he sided with the devil. Left me and went on a wild ride he found Christ however and now has 3 of his own and 1 on the way. This wicked world is upside down. We worship the criminal pop stars because they are rich they steal our kids thru materialism but God does have full control of this place. As a young man I got into the Rock and Roll scene had no clue how demonic it was. I embraced the lifestyle 100% im ashamed to admit. However I never could make out the words in the music. One of the catchiest tunes The Rolling Stones plays is sympathy for the Devil. Today i understand fully what it means had no clue then. Jesus biggest warning to us was is let no man be deceived. Hang in there love him show him the truth but most of all Trust in God. Please all who read this pray for this boy.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” -JESUS CHRIST ‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I believe that JESUS CHRIST suffered and died on the Cross to take the punishment for ALL of my sins. I believe JESUS rose from the dead and I accept Him as my personal Savior. From this moment forward I give you my heart and trust you to be the LORD of my life. Please forgive ALL of my sins and send your Spirit to help me do your will. I Love You, Lord Jesus. I Praise You, Jesus. I Thank You, Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life. I thank you for your great love and accept your gift of eternal life, and I pray these things in JESUS name, Amen . Say this prayer faithfully, no matter what you feel, when you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word, with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you. You will experience Jesus, and HE will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see. A single saint fights back, and a thousand demons cry in agony. And you are that saint. Jesus Will Never Leave Nor Forsake You ''Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” Ps 37:3-5 Jesus Christ came into this world to reach those who feel that nobody cares. The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in Him. The Lord Jesus Christ does care and He is reaching the lonely and the desperate, the confused and the hurt, the depressed and the disillusioned. Jesus Christ is reaching out to you. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom 5:8 As we turn away from our sin and turn to Christ we find forgiveness and freedom. Jesus Christ is a Friend to the friendless. He is a Helper to the helpless. He gives freedom to the addicts. He loves the unloved. He accepts the outcasts. He changes the unchangeable. He forgives the unforgivable. He accomplishes the impossible. He saves sinners. He seeks the lost. He gives direction to the aimless. He gives hope to the disillusioned. He gives Truth to the confused. He gives joy to the depressed. He gives purpose to the purposeless. He gives hope to the hopeless. He redeems and He renews. He touches and transforms. He answers prayer. He works miracles before our eyes. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; all things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Cor 5:17 God gives the very best to those who leave the choice to Him.

    Listen man, not a single one of us are perfect. But if you accept Jesus Christ, you will learn to use his perfection as your strength. I myself am a sinner, but have slowly learned to stand on the strong foundation of the risen one- if you do this, you will know true hope in a way that WILL transform your life. All the best brother, and remember that if God is for you, who can be against you!

    there r many comparisons between Mike F and Jeremiah of the old test of mankind. 1..Both were born as sons to Prophet/Mob Captain 2. Both fathers agreed to the punishments that the sons had to endure. Both Fathers sided with Outside the Bloodline and accepted the fate of their son(s), one had been jailed (Jeremiah) and one had a contract put on his life (Mike) 3. Both were in jail at the time when all hell broke loose. Jeremiah was in jail when the invaders he had predicted came and defeated all of Israel and put the Hebrew king into chains (as much as Jeremiah had for told to the Israelis/Hebrews). Jeremiah was set FREE after the invaders defeated all the Hebrews many put into slavery and to the sword... NOT Jeremiah... he survived.. and walked out of jail free too Mike was in jail while 13 of mob guys died and many others went into jail for longer periods of time than mike would... facing them 29 months *(many in the Hole) when was Mike turned to the Bible and God and it really saved him.. being in the Hole and reading the Bible to not go insane. and survive the whole HELL ... like Jeremiah was in jail while all Hebrews faced death outside, Mike was in jail and survived the war outside. 4. Jeremiah was a Prophet by blood and by talent.. he 4 saw the horses that would come ... Mike was a Profit to his family and many other families by Blood and by Talent he saw the 4 horses that would come too for him if he stayed in the life... // that is only four.. there are more thanks for the interview.. from 2014, pre Trump pre the Purge of 2020-21.. but vlog lives for ever.. Jesus would be proud.. // be safe and well and when God sends a Prophet/Profit Listen to them dont kill them or beat them because the words they jeremiah out to u are not the same as u king want... Proverbs 12:1 the sin of stupidity.. God Bless

    Thanks so much for sharing! Powerful! My contribution to His cause … WHAT EVERYONE DESERVES TO KNOW ABOUT HEAVEN: Jesus Christ destroyed the barrier of sin between God and mankind at the cross so we can have peace with Him and have assurance we’ll make it to heaven. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? The Bible (God's only trustworthy Word for the human race) tells us: All of us were born with an unrighteous sinful nature. We inherited it spiritually from Adam and Eve, the first two created people, because of their disobedience to God by giving into the devil's deceiving temptation. Why would the devil do such a thing anyway? Because he hates God! The devil wants no one enjoying intimate, joyous relationship with God. He once had it yet lost it, and now wants no one else having it either. God is so holy - so righteous - so pure … that He cannot and will not allow unrighteous sinners to remain with Him in heaven. But God had a plan to undo what Satan did to the human race. Jesus Christ IS the plan! Jesus came to earth to ransom you and everyone else for Himself, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. He took full punishment for your sins against God and the sins of everyone else on the cross so our sins no longer would keep us separated from God. Furthermore, He traded His righteousness for our unrighteousness through His death, burial and resurrection! (See: 2 Corinthians 5:21. It is ONLY God’s IMPUTED righteousness that makes us acceptable to Him - that is FREELY given to us who make Jesus our Savior and Lord. Imagine being in a courtroom, and the Judge has just sentenced you to death. Also imagine Jesus Christ being your lawyer. Jesus Christ says to the Judge (or in other words, God the heavenly Father): "Your Honor, I want to serve my client's sentence and pay the price for his/her wrong-doing by dying instead so my client can go free." Can you imagine someone doing such a thing for you?! JESUS DID IT! Of course you may be thinking at that moment: I haven't done anything to be sentenced to die! I'm being falsely accused! "What have I supposedly DONE, God?!" Here's your answer: God gave 10 commandments for people to keep in the Old Testament Bible. Anyone who breaks just one of those commandments must be punished for breaking them against God. Where does it say THAT?! It says that in Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Have you ever lied? Lied just one time? Everyone of us has lied at least once. Number 9 of the 10 commandments says: Thou shalt not lie (bear false witness). You know what that makes us? A disobedient sinning liar against God and His moral law - His 10 commandments. (Revelation 21:8 also tells us what God thinks of lying). You just read above what God says about our disobedient sinning against Him by breaking just ONE of His moral laws: God’s punishment for doing so is DEATH. Spiritual death. Ultimately total separation from God and agonizingly suffering for our sins against Him for all eternity -- totally void of any love, peace, hope, joy or forgiveness from God ever again (otherwise known as hell). BUT HERE IS GOD'S BEST NEWS! We can receive forgiveness for all our unrighteous, disobedience (sins) against God and our sins against others RIGHT NOW and have certainty RIGHT NOW that on the Judgment Day, our sins WON'T be held against us! HOW CAN THAT BE?! By asking Jesus Christ to forgive us for our sins and trusting that He HAS forgiven us of them simply by our asking and trusting! Jesus will do it! 1 John 1:8-9 says: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thus if we make Jesus our personal Lord and Savior - every time we sin - we have every right to ask Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sin(s) - cleanse us as though we never sinned - so that when our heart stops beating, we can be assured that we won't have to suffer eternal damnation for our sins. Jesus Christ did what no other human being has ever done or ever could do. He was the ONLY person on this planet who has never sinned. And because He never sinned, He is the only acceptable sacrifice God the Father would accept to pay ransom payment for each of OUR sins. That is simply AMAZING, isn't it?! Yet JESUS DID IT! WHY? Because of God’s LOVE and MERCY for lost souls like you and I who will reach out in humility and demonstrate appreciation for His FREE GIFT of forgiveness (pardon) so we can have friendship and intimacy with Him starting now ... and lasting for ETERNITY! This life is your starting point with your loving Creator that will last for eternity. Ask Jesus for His FREE GIFT of forgiveness TODAY. Ask Him to live inside you. He WANTS to! (Please make copies of this Gospel Message and distribute them in YOUR area. Please post the above JESUS DID IT! Gospel Truths EVERYWHERE to help share the Good News of Jesus Christ).

    Jesus Christ is Lord and he loves you all soo much! The Lord is coming soon! Tomorrow is not promised! There IS A point where it's too late! Get saved before it's too late! He came to free you from addictions, torment from demons, the fear of death, the bondage of sin, ON YOUR VERY LIFE, FOR YOUR VERY LIFE AND SOUL! HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FOR US! HE CAN FREE YOU! God hates the sin, yet he loves the sinner, You! Don't let this choice of dismissing him end up being the eternal choice of YOUR FUTURE, YOUR STORY, YOUR ETERNITY, OUR Lord loves you! Get under his covering before the storm hits! So that when he returns you will see your Lord, Saviour, and Friend! Instead of seeing a foe like satan and his hordes of demons will! For their time at that moment will be up! They are already condemned, do not be among them and their followers! John 3:16‭-‬18 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. bible.com/1/jhn.3.16-18.KJV Romans 10:9‭-‬11 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. bible.com/1/rom.10.9-11.KJV John 14:6 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. bible.com/bible/1/vjhn.14.6.KJV Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. bible.com/bible/1/eph.2.8-9.KJV Romans 10:17 KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. bible.com/bible/1/rom.10.17.KJV 1 Peter 3:21 NLT And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. bible.com/bible/116/1pe.3.21.NLT Mark 1:15 KJV And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. bible.com/bible/1/mrk.1.15.KJV Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; bible.com/bible/1/rom.3.23.KJV Mark 16:15‭-‬20 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. bible.com/bible/1/mrk.16.15-20.KJV Romans 3:29 KJV Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: bible.com/bible/1/rom.3.29.KJV 2 Peter 3:8‭-‬9 KJV But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. bible.com/bible/1/2pe.3.8-9.KJV Matthew 24:1‭-‬39 KJV And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. bible.com/bible/1/mat.24.1-39.KJV Matthew 6:9‭-‬15 KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.9-15.KJV (How to receive the gift of The Holy Spirit) Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. bible.com/bible/1/act.2.38.KJV Feel free to copy this message and send it to others, Jesus Christ is coming soon! To him be all The Honor, The Glory, and The Praise unto The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords! God Bless you!
