“Clues to Your Assignment” with Jentezen Franklin
Good Morning Family “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”John 16:33Dear Heavenly Father I pray that in all the trials and tribulations of life, which seems to be growing with each passing day, that our hearts and our minds will rest in Jesus so that His perfect peace will carry us through all life’s difficulties. Please help us to see that we are in Christ and that ALL things are placed under His feet, and because we Trust Him, and accept Him as our Savior, His Victory is our Victory! Thank You for Life, And Your Ongoing Protection and Provision in Jesus Christ Name i pray. Amen Keep God First……………..

look with me in Jeremiah chapter 1 verse
4 and the word of the Lord came unto me
saying before I formed you in the womb I
knew you before you were born I
sanctified you and I ordained you a
prophet to the nation’s finding your
assignment in the kingdom you are
treasured you are valued before I formed
you in the womb if it was true for
Jeremiah it’s true for you
God says I’m not talking in this
scripture just about Jeremiah but it’s
insight into all of us before you were
in your mother’s womb I knew you called
you to an assignment had a plan for your
life had a purpose for your life and
tonight I’m not talking about my
assignment because we’re good at
believing in other people’s call in
other people’s assignments in other
people’s you know potential greatness
and all of that but we don’t see it in
ourselves ever and we call it humility
when in when in reality sometimes it’s
the spirit of intimidation and fear that
causes us to feel unimportant he said
your treasured your valued I knew you
before you were in your mother’s womb
and you have to understand what he’s
saying in verse 4 the word of the Lord
came unto me say first thing that you’ve
got to know about finding your
assignment is it’s very significant to
know that God can talk to you we need to
understand that God is still talking and
still calling people and still speaking
to people and you have no value unless
he tells you the things to dream that he
wants you to dream and the way he does
that is he will speak to you he will
speak through the
services he will speak to preachers he
will speak through circumstances but you
got to learn how to hear God’s voice and
that’s how he puts dreams in you is he
will speak to you what I say means
nothing what others say about you means
nothing what God says is what really
matters be very sensitive to what God
says about you you must hear God I get
amused at people who who say I’m gonna
I’m going to take a course on on how to
how to hear God’s voice well I’ve never
had to take a course on um you know when
I call my mother and I hear my mother on
the other line I don’t have to I don’t
have to take a course on recognizing her
voice I know my mother’s voice and when
you know him you know his voice it’s
that simple and and you need to
understand that it’s important the first
thing he says about the purpose and the
plan and the assignment of God is number
one the word of the Lord came to me
there’s a word for your life listen for
it there’s a plan that God talks and
he’s the one that thought up a mouth
he’s the one that thought up a tongue
he’s the one that thought up a voice box
and he knows how to talk to you then he
says before I formed you in the belly I
knew you before your mother saw you
before you knew that you know you
existed I had a plan and called you you
need to understand that he has
sanctified you he goes on to say not
only called you but sanctified you
separated you set you aside for his
purpose you are a walking reward for
somebody he said I ordained you I
designed you I scheduled you into the
world I designed you in the designing
room of heaven and if you don’t have
something that you think you need to be
fulfilled then you’re you
need to understand that he designs you
you didn’t make yourself and if you’re
not able to do something quit trying to
be something you’re not and take the
will of God as how he designed you he
designed you you have an assignment on
your life turn to somebody and say you
have an assignment on your life you
don’t listen you don’t decide it you
discover it a true assignment from God
will showcase your inferiority it will
showcase your limitation it will be
bigger than you are and make you feel
incapable of achieving it you know when
when God first called me to preach this
this whole chapter I used to have a
sermon I preached called the left handed
deliver and I would bring it out is
really I think second or third sermon I
ever preached and I love this because
it’s so spoke to me because when God
called me to preach I felt exam that
he’ll spit I heard the word of the Lord
come to me you’re called going to use
you you’re going to go to nations that
it uh sounds like this is crazy
Who am I I’m a child I’m a youth all of
that all of that and I think there’s
something powerful I think there’s
something strong about when you get that
hold of that verse and don’t be afraid
of their faces I remember particularly I
would just almost have anxiety attacks
just just I felt like I was going to
throw up I just felt like I would get
nervous and sick and worried and you
know the difference between just anxiety
about speaking in front of people and
just being tormented with fear and
intimidation and one day I read that
scripture in a Sunday School room my
brother and I were holding a revival and
I was down in the Sunda score he used to
pray in the Sunday School room I don’t
know why but that’s how we used to do it
and I was reading my Bible and praying
sitting in a little wooden chair and he
said reading through this and he said
and do not be a
raid of their faces I love that that set
me free I’m afraid of none of your faces
don’t be afraid of their condescending
looks don’t be afraid of their mouths
sucking their teeth don’t be afraid of
their smears don’t be afraid of their
Facebook blogs don’t be a face of the
cowards that attack you you know don’t
be afraid of their faces and many times
like forward you know when you go
speaking of like a forward conference or
something like that in his thousands and
thousands of people that it’s it’s it’s
you you pray you do everything there’s
four things you do to preach a message
you study yourself fool you get
everything you can get off the Word of
God on that subject as much as you can
from any and everybody you can get it
and get it in your spirit study yourself
full then number two you pray yourself
hot because you study to get a message
or sermon but you pray to get a message
from God pray yourself hot you got to
pray you got to pray you got to pray got
to pray it’s not we’ve had enough talks
we need some prayer behind our word so
you study yourself fool you pray
yourself hot then you think yourself
through you know you you have to think
it through think that message through
where is it going how’s it going to end
what do I have any life illustrations
that I can put in here anything that I
can say that will make it applicable to
people’s lives what think it through did
anything happen with my kids have I ever
experienced this point I don’t know why
you must be getting a lot of y’all ready
to preach but this is how you do it this
is how you do it
study yourself fool pray yourself hot
think yourself through think it through
and then lastly and this is the big
point that has to do with don’t worry
about their faces after you study
yourself full and pray yourself hot and
think it through the last thing you got
to do after you’ve done everything you
know to do set yourself free just set
yourself free I don’t know if y’all
getting anything out of this but I’m
liking this little sermon just set
yourself free relax get up and do what
God’s called you to do and don’t worry
about their faces they might be making
ugly faces cuz they ate something crazy
for lunch you don’t know it may not be
your sermon he said don’t worry about
their faces it’s just a face turn to
somebody and say it’s just a face how
people look at you it’s just how people
accept you as just a face for I am with
thee I love that you’re not in this by
yourself you didn’t call you by yourself
and he said therefore I will put forth
my hand and touch your mouth Jeremiah
now here’s another thing about your
assignment your mouth is going to play a
major part in your assignment if God
told him he had an assign it was going
to require him to go to places in
nations of the world then he gives him
another huge insight that your mouth is
going to play a major part of your
assignment your ability to speak he
touched my mouth there are two kinds of
communication what you tell others and
what you tell you some people talk good
to others and talk bad to themselves
they’re kind to others and they curse
themselves you stupid you idiot you’re
ugly you’re dumb you’re no good you’ll
never be anything you’re loser you
can’t do it but they’ll talk real kind
they communicate outwardly good to other
people but talk horribly to themselves
but God touched his mouth your future is
not good until God touches your mouth
and suddenly he begins to prepare you
when he touches your mouth your
preparation determines your performance
if you don’t prepare then you won’t
perform well so prepare yourself for
your assignment find what you truly love
and build your life around it you know
sameness creates comfort the difference
creates reward we want to be like
everybody else and that’s comfortable
but it’s when you find that uniqueness
that God has given you that you begin to
connect to the rewards the life costs
nobody if you’re just like everybody
else and just into what everybody else
is into then guess what then the field
has just gotten really broad but the
more unique and we’re afraid of being
different we’re afraid of being
different but it’s the uniqueness that
is your niche don’t try to be like
everybody else just be what God made you
full of a holy spirit discover your
distinction identify your difference so
find what you love find I love church I
love preaching I love ministry I love it
find what you would do if let me put it
to you this way what if what if
everybody no matter if they are a
janitor or they are a brain surgeon what
if everybody was paid $10 an hour no
matter what you did there is no
difference in pay it whether you whether
whether you are a dog catcher or you are
a PhD in in the in Harvard University
who whatever gets $10 what would you
choose to do what would you choose to do
I would do what I’m doing right now
because this is this is what I love this
is what I do you’ve got to find what you
love to do and you don’t do it for money
nothing wrong with being successful if
you’re business person particularly got
a big dream to make lots of money
especially if you’re Kingdom minded
businessperson God can really bless that
but my point is if you get in it solely
for money nine times out of 99.9 times
you’re gonna fail but if there is
something in you that loves the reward
of whatever it is ultimately that gets
you to because you talk to people who’ve
done great things and and it seems like
there’s always something else the money
was never the motivator even though it
came does that make sense so so what you
love is a clue to your son number two
what you hate is a clue to your son what
angers you what ticks you off
you cannot correct what you’re unwilling
to confront anything permitted will
increase anything permitted in your life
is just going to increase what you
tolerate you can’t change what you’re
comfortable with
will never change no matter how how much
you wish it would until you get to the
point that you say I can’t stand this
any longer
that’s when change comes your anger is
imported an angry man is an awakened man
what gets you passionate whatwhat what
gets you stirred up that’s a clue to
your assignment and lastly what grieves
you what makes you cry
caring qualifies you as an instrument of
healing what what makes you cry what
makes you emotional that’s a clue to
your assignment what what touches your
heart what what what can move you that’s
a clue to your assignment
remember Nehemiah the Bible said he wept
when he saw the city in ruins Nehemiah
was not a professional wall builder he
had never built a wall in his life but
he found his assignment by his emotion
something grieved him and he said we
need to build these walls back and it
grieved him how far his nation had gone
and that was his assignment the
assignment lastly will require hours and
seasons of great preparation Moses spent
40 years in the palace finding out how
to be somebody 40 years in the desert
finding out how to be nobody and 40
years leading the children of God when
he found out what God can do with
somebody that’s willing to become a
nobody
for his sake so that’s a total of 80
years of preparation for 40 years of
deliverance ministry am i boring you
Jesus Christ and his assignment required
30 years of preparation for
three-and-a-half ministry three and a
half years of ministry and we want to
know why boom I’m supposed to be a
prophet
Jesus ministry required 30 years of
preparation before he ever preached a
sermon or healed a sick person he just
sat around and learned about people he
would minister to and last thing I wanna
say has become an expert on your son
once you find out what it is I’m how
many of you know that’s for endings for
last points right there become an expert
on your assignment turn to somebody and
say become an expert on your sign 2nd
Timothy 2:15 study to show yourself to
proved a workman that does not need to
be ashamed of his work study to show
yourself become become the best in your
field do you have any magazines that you
get on what you do do you find out what
anybody else in your world does do you
ever check out competition do you go I
check up I find out what are other
churches doing what can I learn for I’m
not a know-it-all once you think you’re
a know-it-all you’re already on the
decline still doing the same Mosta why
don’t you go learn from some other
people who are even more successful than
you are become an expert at your
assignment become an expert and the
Bible said a man’s gift you may be
secret nobody may know who you are you
keep filling yourself with knowledge you
keep filling yourself with the word you
keep pursuing this sign that’s God’s
giving you what you love and and what
bothers you and how you what your
assignment is to do something about all
of that and once you do that you get so
full of that word the word will be um a
person’s gift will make room for them
you just get a phone call
you just get an opportunity it’ll drop
out of nowhere at the most inopportune
moment and you won’t believe that you
have that opportunity but it’s prepared
people it’s not lucky people
he’s lucky no I’m not lucky I’m prepared
Thanks there’s a big difference what
what what if a huge opportunity in your
field came tomorrow are you prepared for
it you prepare it God said as long as
there’s vessels I can keep pouring out
but when you think you’re fool when
you’re fool then I can’t pull anymore on
you so that’s all I got to say everybody
say I’m unique God has his hand on my
life he called me from my mother’s womb
I have an assignment from heaven it’s
not a small thing
and I’m not going to let people’s faces
funny faces mean faces face books or
anything else stop me from my son I Know
Who I am and I know what God has called
me to do I’m not arrogant I’m not proud
I just understand that God doesn’t want
me intimidated come on he has not given
me the spirit of fear come on declare it
he has not given me the spirit of fear
but of power and of love and of a sound
mind I’m going to become an expert in my
field
they’re gonna come ask me how I did it
hallelujah now let’s just take a moment
and give God the glory because that’s
what it’s all about that’s who you’re
gonna give the praise to
I really do believe that God has an
assignment a call a plan for your life
and one of the great tragedies of not
knowing Jesus Christ as your Savior is
it’s like you’re trying to piece your
life together as you go when God has the
master plan God really does have a
purpose for your life and all you have
to do is begin with surrendering your
heart to Jesus Christ just open up right
there where you are and say lord I need
you I need your plan your assignment
your call for my life and lord I give
you my life I put myself in your hands
Lord Jesus use me and every gift I have
for your call and your purpose in Jesus
