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.

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.
Thank you for all the young people and what the LJC is doing with them. Bless them.
PREACH ON! Pastor Franklin; so true on expressing FAKE actions instead of face to face.
Such an awesome message . Our devices are divisive for sure
May the lord bless you

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.

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 🤗
God have mercy on me .what a deep revelation
I asked God this morning to Lead me to a good message before I begin my day. So here I am listening to one of my favorite pastors preaching a good word. Praise be to our God the creator of this universe.
I’m listening to this on my phone

All the people in church cheered when he said: "get up and go to church " Now it's not preaching to the choir... It's preaching to the church
The SCREEN or The SEED! Wow, what a much needed sermon! Am glad I broke up with social media 10 years ago! Thank you Pastor J!
This is an awesome message!
Preach it what a word
Thank you ‘ we all need a wake up call as believers and the body Christ !
I have been discipling Christians warning them about distractions of the cell phone. So horrible to watch, THANKS FRANKLIN !
A very good and thought provoking message
That is the most impacful and timely sermon I have ever heard in my life.
WOW....what a word thank you Jesus for man of God like pastor Franklin, God bless you,your family and ministry in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
PRICELESS KNOWLEDGE
Good sermon....great preacher...Glory to God I love his revelation and passion for fasting
Good sound doctrine ❤ thank you Jesus for giving Pastor Franklin such a needful word and thank you Pastor Franklin for preaching with such godly wisdom ...
God Bless this man of God!
Powerful word. Thank you for your humble and righteous heart Pastor!
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.
Amen Pastor Jentezen brings it home 17:00 hallelujah.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesomeness Of ALMIGHTY GOD ⚓✨❄️ Anchored In Him ⚓✨❄️
I sure wish I lived down there but going Sunday to a pentecostal church here
God's spoke my entire heart back to me in this sermon. Every word I have Always thought about today's society but 1st time I heard it spoken back to me. He said if your truly a friend to God, the world will unfriend you. I identify. One of best sermons I Ever heard.
Such a great word
Awesomeness ⚓✨❄️
Social media had me bounded thank you Lord for breaking that bondage😊
Praise the Lord.watching from India.
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!
This is Good and true pastor
I Just Wanna Thank You Lord for All Your Love and Your Blessings
Wow! Lord help me to stay focused on the King!
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..

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 👌🏾

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.

What a wonderful message. One of the best sermons I’ve ever heard ! God Bless this man !
Discovered this Pastor online less than 2 weeks ago, so far so good. I love your teachings especially on prayer and fasting, I feel I'm in a searching period I need God, I want God and I want to walk in his goodness and mercy. I thank God for your simplicity and humility, may God increase that grace upon your life in Jesus name, Amen. Jessy from Zambia.
A timely message ,thankyou 🙏
Power for message thank you and I'm glad the background music isn't playing why you talk
