Jensen Franklin
Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I'm so glad you're watching Real America's Voice. And I want to encourage you today to know that normally, I know you're used to seeing the News being broadcast 24 hours a day all over the world. But the founder of this network wanted to take some time on this Sunday and bring some good news to all the other news. What you do with the next few moments can affect the years ahead of your life. So lean in, listen to this message. I believe it's going to speak to you, and you're going to encounter a God who loves you and cares about you this very moment. To Hebrews, chapter 4 and verse 14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. I love this, this next verse. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched. Everybody say, be touched. Say it again. Be touched. We have not a high priest which cannot be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. I want to talk to you for a few moments about the touch of the king. That he can be touched. When we reach out to him. He can be touched. And he'll turn around and touch you. He can be touched. Back in the late 1930s and early 1940s, there was a tremendous trial that was taking place, an experiment, really, a study that a man by the name of Renee Spitz conducted. And because of the war, there were so many orphans all over. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of orphans. And because of that, they began to notice something was happening to the children. They had people so many orphans were in orphanages here in America that they had to assign one nurse, seven babies, infants. And they would have to change them and feed them. And that was basically all that they had time to do, going from one to the other. And they did that in shifts. And so they noticed that these babies who did not receive affection and holding and touching, they were cleaned, they were fed, they were clothed, but they were left unto themselves, tragically. And this Is all a major discovery that changed the medical world. And you can research it and look at it for yourself when you get a chance. It's very interesting, but this psychologist discovered that the caregivers that gave these babies did not have time to give affection to these orphan children. No physical touch, no nurturing, no holding, no hugging left in the cribs day after day, month after month. At first, the babies were restless. Listen carefully. They were crying out, they were reaching out. They would cry and want someone, anyone to come and hold them, someone to come and touch them. But really all they would receive is just the essentials of life. Food, clothes, changing of clothes, washing baths. After a while, something began to happen. They said the first thing that happened is the children became silent and stopped crying. After a matter of months of crying out and no one coming when. When there was no reason to cry except they wanted somebody to come, they wanted to be touched. And so instead, they stopped crying, they stopped reaching, they stopped responding, and they became unto themselves, more and more. And then, tragically, they started dying. 39% of those babies started dying for no physical reason. They did not die from starvation. They did not die from sickness. They died from the lack. And this is not something I'm making up. This is a medical fact. They died from the lack of. Of a physical touch. It sent shock waves through the medical community. People were shocked that a baby could be fed, a baby could be hugged, a baby, I should say, a baby could be fed and changed and seemingly have every physical need met. But simply by not getting touched ever so often and feeling like the hand of the caregiver was touching and caressing and loving them. This awful study proved an undeniable fact that human beings are wired for touch. It is a life necessity. Without a touch, the human body will begin to shut down. If someone can die in the natural from the lack of a human touch. I'm preaching this morning about a spiritual touch from the hand of the king of kings, Jesus Christ. It's not enough to come to church. You need a touch. It's not enough to sing songs with people or listen or just be in the. Even the presence of God, Unless you personally occasionally get a touch yourself. When's the last time you really touched God? When's the last time God really touched you? Not when you were in church. Not when you went to church and you heard you were fed, you were clothed with the word of God and fed and burked at the back door and released for a great week. But when's the last time you Felt the touch, touch of God. And there were tears. And notice that the babies in that nursery stop crying after a while. When you become calloused, when you become numb, when you become lukewarm, when you become cold, when you become indifferent, when you become unemotional. Ever I'm. You don't have to be a crybaby. And I know all of us are different and men, we're different. But every now and then there needs to be a tear that comes in your eye. If you really love somebody, you get emotional about that love occasionally at least. We need a touch from the King. How long has it been since you really felt a touch from the Master's hand? Question. Are you still reaching? Are you still crying out for him? Are you still worshiping him? So many times we become silent. We come to church and we're silent. And I'm not. This is not a condemning sermon. This is a sermon that all of us need to hear. I need a touch from God. This thing has never been about coming to church and doing a religious duty in church. That's dead religion. This church must never become that. This church. Church must always feel the touch of God. When they were singing that song while ago, I felt the touch of God come into this place. There's a difference between preaching and preaching with the touch of God. There's a difference between being in a church service and you personally reaching out by faith and hunger and crying and reaching, saying lord, I need a touch. The danger is the longer you go without his touch, the more use. It's. It's what you get used to. I'm afraid that the modern day church has gotten used to loving the Lord. It's no question you're saved. It's no question that you love the Lord. It's no question that you're reading some Bible and you're listening to some worship. Hopefully some aren't but, but, but, but many are. But even that can become just religious exercise. Sometimes those who work in the kingdom and busy working in the kingdom need more than kingdom busyness. They need the hand of the king to touch them again. Hallelujah. And if you're not careful, you'll get used to sitting back and watching and folding your arms and just going through a religious routine. It becomes normal. And then you begin to think it's normal not to feel God's touch. It's normal. You know, you, you. You've gone too long without a touch. Something ought to get stirred up in you in these services every now and then. Something ought to Say, you know, I'm getting carnal. You know, I. I need. I need God to touch me. I. I'm allowing things in my life that I know I was convicted about one time. That's what the touch of God will do. The touch of God will awaken you. Like those orphan children. Some of you know how to clap. Raise your hands. Is that what it's about? Sing songs. I pay my ties, I give, I love. But at some point, this thing needs more. And all of those essential things could not keep those babies alive. They had to have a touch. And the same is true of spiritual people. You were created to be touched by God. There's an emptiness, there's a dryness on the inside. There's a withering that begins to take place to in your soul when you don't occasionally through a song. And that's why my best services are not in here with y'. All. My best services are when I'm alone with Jesus. That's the truth and it keeps me alive. I guess I want to say it like this. You're not crying like you used to. You're not praising like you used to. You're not worshiping like you used to. You're not reaching like you used to for Jesus. And I've come today to say there is a hand that is reaching down for you again, saying, let me touch you again. Let me touch you. You have spiritual touch deprivation and it'll kill you sooner or later if you don't get a fresh touch of fire. You see, that's when stagnation comes. This is amazing. Listen carefully. In 2023, a nationwide study was done and 44% of Generation Z, 44% of the young people in our nation said they feel a sense. Listen carefully. Of strong, empty loneliness. 44% of Generation Z, the generation that is more digitally connected than any generation in the world. Friends, Followers, Shares, Posts Internet and yet a yearning on the inside that says, I have all of that and yet I'm lonely. I have no connection. I have nobody touching me. I have nobody. This is the cry of a generation. The most lonely generation to ever live. Even though they're connected digitally, they are not connected and were saturated in screens, but starved for a touch and starved for an affection. An affectionate touch and hug from the Holy Spirit. Come on here. You know I'm preaching the truth and that's why I appreciate online services. But at some point you better get in a red hot live move of God where you can raise your hands and you can forget about People all around you. And you can say, lord, I need a touch. I want to feel your power. I'm tired of people making fun of feelings. Let me tell you something. Religion will kill you, but if you ever encounter Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost, something in you will come alive again. Hallelujah. Somebody give him a praise if you believe that. No, I mean praise him.

Jensen Franklin
If you need a touch, the reacher is still stretching out his hand for you. In the book of Beginnings, the book of Genesis, we clearly see that God designed us to be touched by him when he created us. In Genesis 2 and 7, every other creation that God made. The sun, the moon, the stars, the ocean, the land, the trees, the grass, everything he spoke it. He said, let there be. And it was. He spoke it into existence. Only one thing did God create. With his own hands, by his own touch. He took the mud and he looked at his own reflection in a river or. Or a lake. And he made man in his likeness and his image. And then he breathed into man that life, that breath that into his nostrils. And man became a living soul. But he had been formed and he had been fashioned and touched. And when Adam fel sleep, God put him to sleep and opened up his side and pulled out a rib and formed a woman and made her with his hands. Adam and Eve are the only you and I. Humankind are the only things created in the universe that God said the Listen carefully. The very first human experience with God was not hearing God, was not seeing God, but it was feeling God touch you. I want him to touch me again. I want him to touch me again. His touch can set you free from depression. His touch can set you free from panic and anxiety and fear. His touch can fill you with confidence and courage to face tomorrow. His touch can help you deal with leukemia or cancer. His touch can give you peace in the midst of the storm. I'm telling you, the Lord said, I want to touch my people again today. I don't want to just have a religious gathering. I want to touch you again. And when God made man, he touched him. He spoke everything else into existence. But he touched him. He formed him. He walked and talked with man in the garden. And then sin came. And Adam and Eve hid and ran. That's what sin will make you do. It makes you hide and it makes you run. It makes you. It produces shame and distance. Everybody say distance. Because when you commit sin, you want to distance yourself from the church, from your parents, from God, from anybody living right. You. You don't want to be around the right, you want to be around the wrong. That's a real sign that you're lost as you can be. And hell will tell you when you get out there. So far, you've gone too far. There's nothing you can do for his touch. Condemnation will hold you hostage if you left, if you let it. And what you need is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. And that friend's name is Jesus Christ. And he's ready to touch you again this morning. You need a touch of God. He's a peace speaker. He's a purpose giver, He's a void filler. You're not going to get what you need in social settings. You're not going to get what you need in any relationship alone between two human beings. The only thing that will give you real life and life more abundantly is a fresh touch from God only when he touches you, when he reaches down his hand for you. Matthew 24 and verse 12 said, because of iniquity, the love of many for Jesus will wax cold. They'll become disconnected, they'll become numb, they'll become dry in their walk with God, they'll become lifeless. But the wonderful news is Jesus wants to touch you again. And you may be numb and you may be empty and you may be going through the motions. But this morning there's anointing here that the hand of God can touch you and you can leave this place saying, I know in whom I have believed and I am persuaded he's able to keep me and mine by his mighty power. Jesus touched me again. Touch my body, touch my mind, touch my spirit. In spite of their failure, Adam and Eve did their best to run from the touch of God. Listen now. But in Genesis 3 and 9, the Lord came back and called unto Adam, where are you? He was ready to touch them again. He was ready. He knew they had failed. He knew they had messed up. But he said, I don't run from you, I run to you. If you will reach out to me, I'll come running.

Jensen Franklin
Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin and I want to welcome you to Real America's Voice. There's something that's going to happen, I believe as you watch this program, lean in, listen, and let's see what God can do in your life. I want you to know today that it's been a long time since some of you have felt a touch of God. And you're hiding and you're distancing yourself and you feel shame holding you hostage. But God came back into the garden to touch them again. And he'll touch you again. Numbness is an when you have numbness, you know, it's one thing if you sleep on your arm and it falls asleep, as we call it, but continual numbness over an extended period of time. Any doctor will tell you numbness in your extremities, numbers, numbness in your in your body continually is a real warning sign something bad is wrong. The Bible talks about in Ephesians 4, Paul said that the people in the last days would be, quote, past feeling, being past feeling, you don't feel it anymore. You don't feel church, you don't feel the service, you don't feel the incredible praise and gratitude just to be saved. I mean, just to say my name is written in a book in another world called the Lamb's Book of Life, and I'm headed to a place called Heaven, where there are no more tears, sorrow or death. But if that doesn't thrill you, your past feeling nothing moves you. Music doesn't move you. Preaching doesn't move you. You become so normal with not feeling a touch. You become numb to conviction. You become numb to the altar. I'm almost done. But In Luke chapter 7, in verse 14, a woman sadly was carrying her son in A coffin. And the pallbearers had the coffin on their shoulder. And she had lost her husband, she was a widow, the scripture said, and she had lost one of her sons. And they were on their way to the graveyard to bury her son. And the Bible said Jesus confronted their funeral procession. And he came. I love this text. And he touched the coffin. And when he touched the coffin, life came back to that boy. Some of you, the enemy has said that this is your funeral spiritually, the season you're in. And your prayer life is dead. Your praise life is dead. I'm going to say something big right here. Your purity is dead. Your purpose is dead. Because when Satan starts taking those things, prayer, praise, purity, then he kills your purpose and your dream. But Jesus sent me to tell you that he's going to touch your coffin. And then he spoke and he said, arise. And the Bible said, the man set up. It's time for young people to feel the touch of God again. I don't want you to hear the music and sway with it. I want you to feel the touch of God.

Jensen Franklin
Hallelujah. I want to close with this. Two things and I'm done. Mark five. The woman had an issue of blood, but she said, if I can but touch the hem of his garment. And the Bible said the crowd prevented her. And I want you to don't ever forget what I'm about to share with you. Just because you're around Jesus and in his presence does not mean you get his touch. These people were in the very presence of the King of Heaven. And thousands of them left just like they came. But one said, and when she touched. Watch this. And all these people were reaching out and all these people were trying to. But when she touched the hem of his garment, Jesus, I love this. He stopped because we have not a high priest who cannot be touched by the feeling of our infirmity. And when she touched his garment, the Bible said she spent all she had and doctors couldn't help her. You ever had a problem that people can't fix. You ever had a child that you can't, you can't fix? Jesus can One touch. One touch can set an alcoholic free. One touch can set a drug addict free. One touch can set somebody with suicidal thoughts free.

Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin and I want to welcome you to Real America's Voice. If you'll give me the next few moments and listen, you're going to have the opportunity, I believe, to have a moment that can change your life. And when she touched the hem of his garment, he stopped. He said, who touched me? And the disciples didn't like his question, and they almost tried to throw shade and make fun of him. Thousands of people touching you? What are you talking about? He said, no, somebody touched me. Come forward. And she came out of the shadows. And Jesus said, you're made whole because you touched me. Mary and Martha and Lazarus were having a dinner and Jesus attended. And Martha is in the kitchen. And I love the text. It said she was busy. Just throw that verse up. She was busy and she was working so hard in the area of loving people that Was her love language. Fixing collard greens and fried squash and fried chicken and cornbread. She was in there, Martha, Jesus gently corrects her because she's in the kitchen and she's getting. She's getting ticked because Mary's in there on her feet saying, I need a touch. I mean, I got Jesus in my house. I can't miss this opportunity. And she's weeping and worshiping. And Martha called. Your Bible says she called out from the kitchen, Jesus, tell her to get up, come in here and help me. But watch. Jesus gently corrects her. And he says, but, Martha, you're over occupied. You're busy. And the King James says, you're worried, boy, I thought, whoo. That's a word. You're worried and busy. You're busy and worried about a lot of things. Your mind's racing. You're trying to fix everything. You're. She's fixing stuff, you know, fixing. I. I'm going to fix it. What you really need, Mary, your sister, has chosen the better thing. You're worried and troubled about many things, but one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen the right thing. Do you need a touch? Are you so busy working in the kingdom that you can't remember the last time the King touched you? I'm scared at this point in my life that somehow I'll become one of those little babies that just gets used to not having the touch. I want to. I want him to touch me. Like I had to have him touch me when I was a young evangelist with black hair and I didn't have nothing but a Bible. And if God didn't touch me, I didn't eat that week. If God didn't touch me, I didn't have nothing. If God didn't touch me, no doors open. And if God didn't touch me, no opportunities came. I never got a revival. If God didn't touch me. I'm telling you, it all comes through those moments where he touches you.

You say, I will not settle living untouched by God, even though I'm being fed and I love him and I'm clothed in his righteousness. I'm going to heaven. That's not the issue. The issue is, do you still cry out and reach for the King? Because if you touch him, he'll stop and he'll touch you again. And I want you just to throw your hands up right where you're sitting. And all of our campuses, wherever you're watching, is in your home, in the hospital, in the jail. Hallelujah. I'm going to Ask you to stand to your feet all over this room, just very, very reverently and please, no moving. And I want to ask you again to slip those hands up toward heaven, if you would say, I need that. I need a fresh touch. I need God to just confirm to me again his purpose. I would love for God to say to my coffin, give him up. Your coffin may be some addiction, some unpure thing, but Jesus, he didn't touch the boy. He touched the coffin. The thing that, that, that. That had them headed in the wrong direction. Jesus touched it and said, give them up. And he set up and the Bible said, he began to speak. See, one touch can give you your praise back, your prayer life back, your purity life back, your purpose back. One touch from the hand of the King, and it's here, this morning. That touch, that tender touch of God is here. And if you want it, I'm not. I'm not doing this to get a big response. I'm doing this because God laid this message on my heart and said, preach it and I'll back it up. I'll touch people again. Sometimes you need a second touch, another touch. How long has it been since you felt the hand of the King touch you again, Pastor? You're talking to me. If that's you, I don't care who you are. Teenager, young person, mom, dad, husband, wife, been in the church for 30 years. Praise and worship. Whoever we all must not become. Martha's busy in kingdom work, but never having the hand of the King touch us afresh. So if God's speaking to you right where you are, some of you need to come as couples. Some of you need to come on your own, strongly, boldly. That's what I did. That's exactly what I did. I was. God spoke to me and said, you walk yourself down that aisle and you come to me and you reach out to me and I'll touch you. You have no idea what I have for you. Get out of your seat and come right now. This altar's open. This is a different altar call, and you know that. But I feel this thing in my soul. So come now. So you got to pray. Press through the crowd. You got to say, I don't care what people think. I don't care what anybody says. I don't care. That's religion that says that junk. You don't come to church to leave like you came. You come to get a touch from God. Come on, sir. Come on. Struggling. Struggling with something. Struggling with a bondage, Struggling with sin. Come on. Come on, come on, come on Adam and Eve. You've been hiding, you've been running, you've been, you've been trying to get distance. Cause you felt such shame. But come on, come on. He's ready to touch you again. He's ready to touch you again. He's ready. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Lift those hands all over this room. Just lift your hands and wor. And don't remain silent.

I'm Rodney Williams and I'm Travis Holloway welcome to the Wealth Break.

Rodney Williams
Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating savings systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger.
- [47:49]
Travis Holloway
And that's exactly why we created the Wealth Break. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles, and real wins.
- [48:00]
Rodney Williams
We're here to talk about the journey. You'll hear from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories.
- [48:19]
Travis Holloway
And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.
- [48:34]
Rodney Williams
So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

- [51:05]
Worship Leader
Church as a prayer. This is my daily breath. You're very worthy. Cause you're very word spoken to me. We say hi. And I. And I. God, I'm desperate for you. And I. I'm desperate for. Lift up those hands and worship. This is the air I breathe.

Worship Leader
I love you, Jesus.

Jensen Franklin
You're a good God.
- [52:51]
Worship Leader
Oh yes. Let that breath. Let the Holy Spirit begin to pray through you. This is my daily breath. This is my daily breath. It's you, Jesus. You're the only one who can satisfy the void. Speak to me again, Jesus. I can't go on without a touch. I really need a touch. Somebody cry out to me. Sing it again. Desperate. Lord, I'm reaching. Lord, I'm crying out to you. Lord, I dance before you. I'm just lost you.
- [54:26]
Jensen Franklin
Now, won't you? Because Jesus said in my name you'll lay hands on the sick. I want a generation that's not deprived of laying on of hands and touching and praying for miracles, one for another. And don't just do it routinely thinking that they won't get touched if I touch them. Technically, the woman did not touch Jesus. She touched something that had touched Jesus. She touched a garment that had touched Jesus. Sometimes people can't get to Jesus. It's too far of a distance. But they can touch somebody who's been with Jesus. And that'll get them to the miracle power of Jesus. So reach over now and grab some people around you, he said, if any two or three, three of you will agree. And touch. Isn't that amazing?
- [55:15]
Worship Leader
Touch.
- [55:16]
Jensen Franklin
I don't want a bunch of disconnected people. I don't want you going through your trials all by yourself. And that's what this church did for me and my family is you touched us. You loved us. You were there for us. You helped us. You encouraged us. Somebody's going through something and they need to know that there's a touch of faith right now. In my name, you will lay hands on the sick and they'll recover. Sick marriages, sick homes, sick family, sick bodies. And you'll cast the devil out in my name when you touch. So just right now, begin to pray. Sing it again. And let the Holy Spirit begin to.
- [55:56]
Worship Leader
Send a wave across this congregation at every campus. Lift up prayers one for another.
- [56:03]

Worship Leader
Touch, touch. Touch them in faith. Lift up your voice. Don't stay silent. Pray with faith. Pray this prayer and mix it with faith. Touch them, Lord. Touch them, Lord. Dads, pray for your kids. Moms, pray for your kids, Grandparents, your absolute of your family. Pray for your family. Lay your hands on them. There's something about the touch. This is the air I breathe. Tell him that this is the air. Breath. This is the air I breath. Your holy presence. Your holy presence. Live it living. Sing that again. This is the air.
- [57:21]

- [62:07]
Worship Leader
