Another fantastic book written by Jentezen Franklin. His ability to use scripture and historical events from the Bible and apply them to real life issues is truly a validation of his anointing. “Overcoming When You Feel Overwhelmed “ spoke to my heart in recent areas of my life. This book will challenge the reader to examine his/her spiritual walk while reinforcing the fact that God is still in control!

Really enjoyed the book and it was something that I needed right now, and I am certain that others around the world need it too. This book goes after all of ours struggles, fears and tackles sin strongly. It does not condemn but give hope, grace and steps to biblically overcome anything that is stopping our walk with Christ. We all have a purpose on this earth and God wants us to fulfill our purpose, but at time life and sin can get in the way of it. A book like this will refocus our sees on what matters, and that is doing things the Lord’s way. Encourage anyone dealing with fear, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, addiction, or any struggle in the Kingdom to read this book. It has renewed my spirit and it will do the same for many others.

Jentezen Franklin’s Overcoming when you feel Overwhelmed is such an insightful, informative, applicable book for today’s society to read and grasp the biblical foundation for his message. He outlines several dilemmas and issues of what Christians are facing today and gives great perspective on scriptures to help apply God’s plan for surviving this fallen world. Always love how Pastor Franklin motivates and inspires you to dig deeper into the Word and gain greater knowledge of what God’s plan is for your life. His chapter on the Jezebel spirit is so needed for every Christian to understand why we struggle in this world and how to overcome all that the enemy is wielding against the body of Christ in today’s world. I highly recommend every Christian read this book and buy extra copies for family and close friends who are struggling with all this world has been going through and confusing believers.

This book is a must read for the day and times we are living in. This is a book that will encourage you to keep going in seasons where you feel like giving up. Pastor Franklin is able to convey the message of the gospel and the hope that we have in Jesus even in seasons where we feel overwhelmed. I felt compelled and convicted to be a "Nighttime Hero" I was reminded that God is looking for the "heroes who will do something for the Body of Christ selflessly, whether or not they feel anything is being done for them."

The book also was a great reminder that God is with us in every season and there is an appointed time for everything. We need to remember to Look Up at ALL times! Nothing that happens in our lives is wasted. "We must learn how to fight-and how to wait-at the same time." We all must wait! Pastor Franklin reminds us that our waiting is purposeful.

Overcoming When You Feel Overwhelmed
by Jentezen Franklin

TIMELY - This book is an essential read for here and now! Whether you have heard, seen, or experienced it, everyone is either going in or coming out of a storm.

Jentezen Franklin ties real stories (our stories) into the hand of God found in Matthew 14:22 - "it was JESUS who put them (the disciples) in the storm. He (Jesus) knew they would receive revelations in the storm that they would never learn from the safety of the shore". He acknowledges that one of the worst attitudes we can have is believing, "that can never happen to me".

The National Pandemic, alone, has changed our lives. While we have embraced the word essential, we may still be defining or redefining what our individual valuable essentials really are. Readers will have a hard time putting this book down as it is packed full of the valuables we are in search of. We truly are made for more, even when it means a little less. So whatever storm you are going in or coming out of, keep on walking (searching) for your valuables. "God is still working it out while you're walking it out".

Pastor Franklin, Thank you for your service, your relative teachings, and for pouring so much into this book. I am grateful for all your encouragement: "Gold Standard" - "Fix your eyes on JESUS, not the problem" because "Everything flows from a relationship with God". "We must learn how to fight & how to wait at the same time. "God wants us to discover our wings of faith." - "FAITH has never lost a battle!" "Faith says, no matter what I feel, God is here. He is real. He is alive. I won't let my feelings stop me from Believing IN and Praising HIM!"

As "God doesn't call us to Survive, He calls to Overcome", it is time ... It is time to pick up our Valuables! Overcoming When You Feel Overwhelmed is a book you will want to share with a friend or a stranger. I believe this book will help many keep moving forward.

Pastor Franklin brings about a fresh, relevant, and meaningful revelation of the true experiences of being a member of the body of Christ in todays existence. Not a self help book as many are, this is a personal mentoring experience bringing in the Holy Spirit to heal wounds, and bring power into re-birthing visions and dreams we tend to let go of though life’s’ persecution’s. This book gives an opportunity to embrace suffering and allow God to once again birth visions, heal wounds, and believe again in Gods love that seemed so pure and compete before our innocence was tested, and we were brought down though persecutions.
