I'm going along with you Kirk, I want more of Jesus every single day....more of Him and less of me. I love you and your ministry...I've been listening to your music every since I can remember. You are so real and very humble and of course very funny. In order for people to know about Jesus, someone has to go into ALL the world...not only preach or speak, but you can also sing about the gospel of Jesus Christ...the world needs to know that Jesus saves!!
You said somethings that point to right where I am. I want to be more like my Father but I haven't had the fortitude to get it done. I thank you for being real and please no your words have saved a life a marraige and children. I will do better. God Bless You. NEWBIRTH
love that song :D jesus elsker alle barna , alle barna på vår jord , rød , hvit, gul og svart, det er det samme har han sagt, jesus elsker alle barna på vår jord :D <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
Thank you kirk for this wonderful concert. It was the best time of my life so far, and i really hope your coming back to Norway soon for a new concert :) We love you. What would i do without your music in my life. God bless you Kirk Franklin. We all love you!
Man...this is the 2nd time I've seen this...and this video touches me! Thanks Kirk...this was a word in season for me right now!!! More of you Lord! Cuz I'm tired of me! Kirk...luv you bro!
Man, this you speak is a point every believer has to get to in life. It is a wall of fact that if we want to grow, we must climb this wall in God and not give up. Be enouraged and thank you for sharing and being encouraging.
Amen Kirk! That's defeinitely something that we all need to focus on and really spend some time speaking to God about. He really wants to use our lives and has a real destiny for each person but if we stop growing, we'll eventually fall away and stop focusing on him, but the things of this world. God's ever moving and our job is to ensure we keep up! xx
you know I understand about he church, I had to deprogram my self from the church. Not that i have anything against the church (well I do but i wont go into that). We get so into doing church stuff that we forget about what matters, ready your bible, learning the word, spending quality time with the Lord. More More More of Jesus is the key. love u kirk peace out
Thank God for you, all I could do was cry every word you spoke applied to my life. i am so tired of the same old church I desire more of Jesus. PLEASE dont stop the blogs I need them in my life. I just want to do better
I'm with you Kirk. I feel like that message was me talking to myself. I need that conviction as well. Saying that I love God is not enough. I need to act accordingly.
please come to the Paramount theatre in Seattle Washington.
I love you and your music and your choir and your book that I read and I celebrate you. You reach many people because of your style and I cry every time I watch the rebirth of Kirk Franklin Live DVD. thank you so much for what you give..
Love you Kirk, its like when u speak its seems as if u know what I'm going through I u speak to me. I hope you don't stop the video blogs because I really enjoy them. You changed the way I look at things come back to Detroit, Mi we miss u over here.
Preach it brother! Kirk, you are not alone. We all need to keep the fire flaming for Christ. For such a time as this-the world seems to be getting darker; however, Christ's light gets brighter. We just need to be used by Him to shine it!
I love the beginning chant-sorry for my ignorance, but what were they saying? I've heard of it before.
What can I say. I just watched this video on the Club981 site, and.....I am just...SO THERE! I have been ill for the past week and a half, and during that time God really dealt with me. This video is conformation that I am doing the right thing. The church, and the Gospel music industry is so jacked right now and it is just a reflection of our lives. I thank God for your humility.....you are still blazin' a trail...we will follow you as you follow Christ!
Hey kirk..what a blessing to see such an uncommon infuencer like yourself willing to make himself vulnerable ..and to admit that fame and acolades will fade ..and only Jesus will remain. always rememember "THE ESSENCE OF GREATNESS IS HUMILITY"...you demonstrated that in this video clip. May God manifest His presence in your personal life like you've never experienced Him before.
"The Kindom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."
I have tears in my eyes, I recently moved from Jamaica to Sweden and I know all God wanted from me was for me to read the WORD and I started and then when the school pressure got tooo me I slacked down I slacked off and everytime I hear his voice saying Judyth go read the word... Kirk thank you.. Thank you so much I am going back to what I must do... It was real it was for me... Thank you so much.... Sorry a lil emotional... cause I get the dieting right but never the consistency in the word...
You keep it real, Kirk. Many do worship material things and themselves instead of putting that same energy into working hard and doing good deeds and works of the Lord our Savior, Jesus Christ.
God bless you, Kirk Franklin & The Fam! Peace & Love
Thank you for sharing that with us its so good to know that you go through the same things that we as christians do. many people don't realize that you are only human and go through ups and downs just like every one else i will be praying for you. thanks again
WOW... That is deep... :) Thank you Brother Kirk Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom Isnt it amazing, just when you think you've seen all that God has to reveal to you, Just like that unexpectedly he gives you a type of enlightenment, or hug that overwhelms you with such Joy, Love and acknowledgment of Life God Is Good uh? :) God Bless you Brother I hear and acknowledge your words they are very deep and I thank you for sharing them :) God Bless You and Yours
Wow, Kirk.... I was meant to listen to this today. I have been feeling like this for quite a while now but somehow cannot discipline myself enough... desire for more of Jesus is not enough... but committment and self discipline and faithfulness just as HE is faithful enough. May the Holyspirit our helper help us in Jesus name... Amen
Keep Reppin Jesus Kirk and He will keep rewarding you x
I have seen this video many times, but today the spirit was strong and meaningful, and my life will never be the same. What the spirit was saying was just what this video spoke about, Let it be real". My worship my life "Let it be real" Thanks fam
I appreciate yur honesty...throughout the years even as a teenager..I always had your music to depend on to get me through hard seasons when I didn't lknoe anything about church..now holyghost filled with the evidence of speaking in tongues...my journey is harder than ever..and i'm tired of me tired of running..tired of the day dreaming.. i'm tired of failing..thank you for that word..and don't giive up!!
that was exactly what i needed. your a blessing and its always nice to get a push when you least expected it!!! wow. what i word that was i pray i am able to travel and experience everything u are speaking about!! Thank You n God Bless. Be Encouraged. Remember Jesus loves u and so do I. :0)
Bro Kirk, I feel your heart and having heard some of your story over the years, I see and believe that you have a hunger and a heart for God that He will not despise. Keep pressing towards the mark of the higher calling, and as you said we all need to apply ourselves to His word, when we do that in all sincerety he will show us higher heights and deeper depths, some will challenge us in the ways we live and worship, but if we are desparate for Him we will do what he says. God Bless you.
This video is so powerful that I have to take a moment and try to collect myself at my workspace today. I feel Kirk on his message, I am the one in church on a daily asking God to change me..I have that desire but when it comes to the work of getting close to God I always fall short. I'm echoing Kirk in that I'm tired of me, tired of the ups and downs that come-I just want Jesus. No more talk from me God, only action. I won't let life take away my determination to be more like You!
Wow. Thank you Kirk. Such a difficult balance between ministry and entertainment, especially when you're trying to make a living at it. I guess I'm like you...when it's all said and done...I want Jesus. Period.
Hey Kirk... I really feel what you're saying and being that I'm not American... I know what you mean from an objective point of view. But this is not if about national barriers.. As Christians we need to come back to CHRISTIANITY! Seriously people have lost sight.. They think it's about the music the money or whatever but we fail to realise that it is about Christ the sacrifice he made and how we have to EVERY day pick up OUR cross and strive to become like him in love and righteousness!! Thanks
what up brother kirk - i was edified by the word you left - but i have felt the same way when i have been abroad. it's like you come back and want to have a sincere worship experience with your american brothers/sisters and there is an emphasis on self-centeredness, materialsm, pride, entertainment. Lord Jesus let me have a pure love for you alone!
This video hit me right between the eyes bro..It was like you where speaking straight to me...Thanks for your heart man and keep doing what your doing, your an inspiration..
Mr Franklin where have you been for the past couple of weeks? I'm sure I missed you performing because of the rain in Lagos, Nigeria on December 5th. The night was something else I have never seen in my whole life. Don Moen, Donnie and all of you impressed me a great deal coming out to defy the rain. Somehow, I just believed the glory of the Lord filled the temple with an unusual torrent.
Hope you will be coming next year, Nigerians are waiting in the wing.
The blessing in your posted video is your honesty. Many of us struggle with doing the things we want to do vs doing the things that are pleasing to God and that will edify our souls. I know I need to consistently get into my word and I have not. But I did better last week than I did the week before. And I pray that this week I'll (u and I will) do even better! God bless you Kirk!
Kirk Franklin I love you !!! God's music is spetacular through your direction I was hearing you on the renewing your mind and what you was pooping it I have a book that really materialize what your talking about The Master Key System it really ministers to the mind needs God Bless you Man ...
reaching out to others is where I have felt the biggest FIRE. I know you gotta beat yourself up sometimes to keep "on track" but I feel your heart in wanting to glorify him daily, & put him First every morning. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking a "well done, good & faithful servant" is in order!!!
Hi Brother kirk! I´m brazilian and yes a honor have man like you in Lord´s service. My father is not christian and hate gospel music. But he loves you! I and me too, and my brother (only christian in family) too! Some day I will know you, in this world or in the another, and together praise and worship our Lord! Thanks for your letters and music, that makes our world and lifes better!
It's not by chance that I listened to this today.I'm tired to Kirk and I thank you for reminding me that I have to do my part. I have to discipline myself and stop making excuses or I can expect the same results. Thank you and I pray that will allow you the opportunity to encourage and inspire people to be all that they can be in Christ.

Mr. Franklin you are truly a messenger of God! God has used you in such an amazing way to speak to me through this blog and all your blogs!! Keep on seeking God and speaking His word! He's gonna keep on using you! Thank you for this wonderful message! May God keep on blessing you in abundance!
You said it!! We get so "churched" that we get desencitized to the "heartbeat of GOD". These blogs help me out so much. When you coming back to the States?! Guard your Blessings!!!!
Hey Kirk !!!!! Genesis 28:15 And behold, I am with you and will keep (watch over you with care, take notice of) you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done all of which I have told you. God truly bless you.
Thats right!! To me, Discipline starts with Sacrifice. cutting t.v's , radio's off . Telling friends you can't hang out tonight just so you can spend time with God and in return it will help the God in you to grow .
Kirk, May the LORD richly bless you with all spiritual gifts and a fire that cannot be quenched. But know that, until His glorious return, we will battle. That is why we yearn for Messiah to come again! We hate the flesh and the world system and love Him! May He return in our time.
Kirk everything you said I have been there but praise God I am not where I was. But the laziness and distractions are still big battles for me. The church is not what it should be with timed and structured bible study and praise & worship. We are not renewed & sustained as we should be as the body of Christ. May God continue to bless and direct you so that you can continue to be a blessing to others as you have been. Thank you.
Matthew 5:6 - You've spoken well. You're not alone in the hunger and thirsting. We need to crucify our flesh daily and let the spirit fill us daily. You've spoken out of the burden laid in your heart. God Bless You.
For those who don't understand what we were singing at the beginning of the video..
Jesus loves all his children, all across the world. He does'nt care bout our skin color, He said so, cause Jesus loves all of children around the world!
Roughly translated.. =)
Kirk, your blogs are truly a blessing, and thank you for the concert. The Holy spirit was present, and my belief in God got stronger!
Kirk, my brother, what a down to earth man you are, Keep on keeping on, I cant remember how I came across your channel, but I am glad I did, I have been blessed. Thank you for you are an inspiration.
Don't stop the blogs; i'm in a struggle like David was many times before. The devil doesn't want my family to make it, but because of grace and mercy - i'm still here.
I pray daily about being more like Jesus, but I realize, even more so after hearing you say it, that it's going to take discipline. It's seems like this is the hardest year of my life, but I am thankful for it because I know God is creating a new person and molding me into the what I have to become.
Kirk, this really hit home with me. Im dealing with going further with my relationship with God. I want more..and Im trying to get more. Im trying to go the right but all around me my peers are going the other way. I really needed to hear that! Thank you, thank you! I know in the end..only whats done for God will last! Much love!
Hey Kirk, u can c that you really experienced something that could transform your life. It's that feeling that there is more that labels a lot of us rebels in the church when all we want is more of Jessus. The same ol aint getting it and people are hurting n souls r being lost daily. I can tell you feel burdened n I pray that God gives u the strength 2 carry it n u do something to make a difference. Your name alone carries lots of weight. Lord reveal yourself to Kirk 2 do a big wrk 4 u!
I believe that you kirk franklin is finally realizing that Jesus is the answer and that its all about him and none of us. I hope that other prominent gospel artists get the same conviction that it is not about the next blessing but it is about Jesus Christ crucified.
What you've done here is what we all must do, and that's to be serious and open with ourselves and others about our walk.
We owe Christ a life without compromise. I challenge every man, woman, boy and girl who would call themselves Christians (including myself) -- LETS JUST BE REAL!
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.
kirk your blogs really touch me i love them keep them going cause they are truly encouraging. i watch them and i can get strngth from them. you don't know how many times i wanted to give up and just leave the church cause it seemed like God wasnt hearing me but your words touch my heart almost to tears.keep up the good work.
I've been noticing a stark change in you, brother Kirk, something I've been praying for for a while. I'm praying other gospel singers and rappers hear what you're saying. Much love bro.
wow Kirk. You know, I am very very encouraged to view your spiritual growth progressing more and more. God's grace never ceases to amaze me. Kirk, I'm one voice out of many, but please brother, continue to steward this platform that God has given you. The greatest thing that you can do with your platform is to glorify God through His Son. I have you lifted up family.
I actually felt a strong conviction when I was watching this video. I know I need to get out and do something with my life! Not just sit here in my laziness and self-indulgence. You're absolutely right, the desire is not enough! I seriously need to start disciplining myself so I can be a true follower of Christ.
Kirk.. AMEN bro. I actually left a church that was full of that stuff.. but whatever. Praise God for you desiring to see more of him cuz you're sick of more YOU. LOL (flame - our world redeemed "see more him", check it out if you haven't already). Praise God for a growth in hunger for meat man. Peace and blessings!
yes church does seem like routine sometimes. i know it. i know it i know it. keep speaking the truth.
what you said at the end before the scritpure is basically what i said last night.
all of this is what we all need. some of us wont realize it till they get to a point where everything is just a continuous thing that seems to not boost you up anymore.
Thats a very challenging thing Kirk...one has to make that conscious effort to improve your relationship with God. for me it s my diggin in the scripture. I just have to set time aside and get disciplined
This was truly a blessing. I'm strugglin with my own laziness and procrastination now. Having a desire but being too lazy to do the work. I know that feeling oh so well. Those two henderances can affect EVERY aspect of a persons life. It limits you and keeps you from truly realizing your full potential. Your relationship with God is limited; your achievements in life are limited; your relationships with people are limited...until you have nothing but "that'll do's" all around you.
I'm going along with you Kirk, I want more of Jesus every single day....more of Him and less of me. I love you and your ministry...I've been listening to your music every since I can remember. You are so real and very humble and of course very funny. In order for people to know about Jesus, someone has to go into ALL the world...not only preach or speak, but you can also sing about the gospel of Jesus Christ...the world needs to know that Jesus saves!!

The song in the beginning is a norwegian song. It says:
"Jesus loves the childrens, every children on the earth
he has said that red, yellow, white and black is the same
Jesus loves every children on the earth"
And then it just goes on and on.
I remember i sat on the top, and it was just overwelming to sit there.

what up brother kirk - i was edified by the word you left - but i have felt the same way when i have been abroad. it's like you come back and want to have a sincere worship experience with your american brothers/sisters and there is an emphasis on self-centeredness, materialsm, pride, entertainment. Lord Jesus let me have a pure love for you alone!

Mr Franklin where have you been for the past couple of weeks? I'm sure I missed you performing because of the rain in Lagos, Nigeria on December 5th. The night was something else I have never seen in my whole life. Don Moen, Donnie and all of you impressed me a great deal coming out to defy the rain. Somehow, I just believed the glory of the Lord filled the temple with an unusual torrent.
Hope you will be coming next year, Nigerians are waiting in the wing.

The blessing in your posted video is your honesty. Many of us struggle with doing the things we want to do vs doing the things that are pleasing to God and that will edify our souls. I know I need to consistently get into my word and I have not. But I did better last week than I did the week before. And I pray that this week I'll (u and I will) do even better! God bless you Kirk!

reaching out to others is where I have felt the biggest FIRE. I know you gotta beat yourself up sometimes to keep "on track" but I feel your heart in wanting to glorify him daily, & put him First every morning. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking a "well done, good & faithful servant" is in order!!!

It's not by chance that I listened to this today.I'm tired to Kirk and I thank you for reminding me that I have to do my part. I have to discipline myself and stop making excuses or I can expect the same results. Thank you and I pray that will allow you the opportunity to encourage and inspire people to be all that they can be in Christ.

Hey Kirk !!!!! Genesis 28:15 And behold, I am with you and will keep (watch over you with care, take notice of) you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done all of which I have told you. God truly bless you.

Thats right!! To me, Discipline starts with Sacrifice. cutting t.v's , radio's off . Telling friends you can't hang out tonight just so you can spend time with God and in return it will help the God in you to grow .

Kirk, May the LORD richly bless you with all spiritual gifts and a fire that cannot be quenched. But know that, until His glorious return, we will battle. That is why we yearn for Messiah to come again! We hate the flesh and the world system and love Him! May He return in our time.

Kirk everything you said I have been there but praise God I am not where I was. But the laziness and distractions are still big battles for me. The church is not what it should be with timed and structured bible study and praise & worship. We are not renewed & sustained as we should be as the body of Christ. May God continue to bless and direct you so that you can continue to be a blessing to others as you have been. Thank you.

misscandice 3 years ago
For those who don't understand what we were singing at the beginning of the video..
Jesus loves all his children, all across the world. He does'nt care bout our skin color, He said so, cause Jesus loves all of children around the world!
Roughly translated.. =)
Kirk, your blogs are truly a blessing, and thank you for the concert. The Holy spirit was present, and my belief in God got stronger!
Thank you

I'm struggling with the same convictions.
I pray daily about being more like Jesus, but I realize, even more so after hearing you say it, that it's going to take discipline. It's seems like this is the hardest year of my life, but I am thankful for it because I know God is creating a new person and molding me into the what I have to become.
How serious is it Kirk?
It's a matter of life and death for me.
God Bless you, your ministry and family.
Keep the blogs coming !!!

Hey Kirk, u can c that you really experienced something that could transform your life. It's that feeling that there is more that labels a lot of us rebels in the church when all we want is more of Jessus. The same ol aint getting it and people are hurting n souls r being lost daily. I can tell you feel burdened n I pray that God gives u the strength 2 carry it n u do something to make a difference. Your name alone carries lots of weight. Lord reveal yourself to Kirk 2 do a big wrk 4 u!

I believe that you kirk franklin is finally realizing that Jesus is the answer and that its all about him and none of us. I hope that other prominent gospel artists get the same conviction that it is not about the next blessing but it is about Jesus Christ crucified.

Kirk,
What you've done here is what we all must do, and that's to be serious and open with ourselves and others about our walk.
We owe Christ a life without compromise. I challenge every man, woman, boy and girl who would call themselves Christians (including myself) -- LETS JUST BE REAL!

Kirk, I'm one voice out of many, but please brother, continue to steward this platform that God has given you. The greatest thing that you can do with your platform is to glorify God through His Son. I have you lifted up family.

I actually felt a strong conviction when I was watching this video. I know I need to get out and do something with my life! Not just sit here in my laziness and self-indulgence. You're absolutely right, the desire is not enough! I seriously need to start disciplining myself so I can be a true follower of Christ.

yes church does seem like routine sometimes. i know it. i know it i know it. keep speaking the truth.
what you said at the end before the scritpure is basically what i said last night.
all of this is what we all need. some of us wont realize it till they get to a point where everything is just a continuous thing that seems to not boost you up anymore.
thanks for the word. i needed it.
be blessed.

This was truly a blessing. I'm strugglin with my own laziness and procrastination now. Having a desire but being too lazy to do the work. I know that feeling oh so well. Those two henderances can affect EVERY aspect of a persons life. It limits you and keeps you from truly realizing your full potential. Your relationship with God is limited; your achievements in life are limited; your relationships with people are limited...until you have nothing but "that'll do's" all around you.
