who will
lead
us?
Leadership has never been more important than it is in this day
and time. As we head toward the presidential election, it is time
to pray and cry out to God.
We are at the point of a major transition in this nation. Not only will the new
president affect today’s economy and foreign policy, but the decisions made by our
next leader will impact generations.
One of the critical roles of the incoming president will be to make appointments
to the Supreme Court. We have the potential of reversing Roe vs. Wade and the
cruelty of abortion if our next president will appoint justices who will fight for life.
After all of these years of trying to make that change, believing and praying that the
slaughter of the innocent would stop, it is within our grasp!
The next leader of our nation will also impact our families. We must elect
someone who will stand up against the homosexual agenda and acceptance of gay
marriage. Some potential leaders have already made it clear that they approve of
legislation to redefine marriage to include same-sex union.
America’s 2008 decision will impact generations

WHO WILL L E AD US ? 5
Today, a new generation is
emerging and shaping what the
future will look like.
This election is critical. I’m not talking
about voting for a party, but for a candidate
whose convictions line up most with the Word
of God. A candidate who will fight for the core
issues of life and family.
We don’t want someone who just follows the
wind of popular culture, but someone who will
hold to the great foundations of this nation. What
does the Bible say about the choices they make
and the values they hold to? We need to cry out
for God to give us a righteous leader! I know He
is able to do that if we pray and believe together.
You have a responsibility to vote for the candidate
who most reflects Godly character.
In the book of 1 Kings, the people of Israel
also faced a leadership problem. David was on
his deathbed; generation had passed away and
there were no Godly leaders guiding the people.
“Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted
himself, saying, ‘I will be king’” (1 Kings 1:5, NKJV).
But according to Scripture, the kingdom had
already been promised to Solomon. Adonijah,
who was David’s fourth son, attempted to bypass
the Lord’s will and David’s choice by sacrificing and celebrating. He even got a priest and a
general on his side. But Bathsheba, Solomon’s
mother, went in to tell King David about it.
“Then she said to him, ‘My lord, you swore by
the Lord your God to your maidservant, saying,
‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me,
6
CO NNECTION W IT H JEN TEZEN F R AN K L I N
acts” (Psalm 145:4, NKJV). Every generation has a
race to run. Then, they’ll hand the baton of praise,
worship and purpose on to the next generation.
When one generation is coming to an end, a
new generation goes through a time of struggle
to take its place. That is the struggle God’s people
faced in the early chapters of 1 Kings.
and he shall sit on my throne’” (1 Kings 1:17, NKJV).
So David stopped Adonijah’s plans by naming
Solomon king.
Consider Psalm 75:6-7, “For exaltation comes
neither from the east Nor the west nor from the
south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one,
And exalts another” (NKJV).
There are lessons of leadership found in
these passages that can apply to us today. I’m
not just talking about the presidential race; I’m
talking about the influence of your personal life
in the lives of those around you. Godly leadership
is critical in every area of our lives . . . and for
our future.
Promotion comes from the Lord
Here’s the key to finding and knowing
God’s promotion: Promotion comes when you’re
doing what you’re supposed to do! Remember
that Elisha was plowing in a field when his
promotion came . . . David was watching sheep
when his promotion came . . . Moses was watching
his father-in-laws flock when his promotion came
“. . . Samuel was serving in Eli’s house when
his promotion came.”
We’re not supposed to be “promotion seekers.” We’re supposed to be “God
seekers”. Out of our relationship with God
comes promotion. If you humble yourself before
the mighty hand of God, He will promote you in
due season. There is no need to brag on yourself.
God resists the proud!
The enemy may try to intimidate you and
push a substitute into seizing the throne of your
destiny. You may almost lose heart. But hold onto
the promise God has given you. God makes the
choice, not men.
A new generation is ready to go
There’s always a “new generation” that’s
coming up . . . that God is raising up . . . that is
emerging to take the place of pre-eminence.
Every generation has a different look and
sound. Every generation has a belief system.
Most importantly, every generation has a
“divine destiny.”
Today, a new generation is emerging and
shaping what the future will look like. I believe
right now the next generation of God’s people
are already in place. Samuel was already in the
temple. David was already in Saul’s house.
David said, “One generation shall praise Your
works to another, And shall declare Your mighty
Nebuchadnezzar put it this way, “…That the
Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it
to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of
men” (Daniel 4:17, NKJV).
The enemies of God’s plan
David understood that if Solomon’s throne
was going to be established, Solomon’s enemies
had to be destroyed. Today, are we making it
harder for the next generation by not dealing with
our spiritual enemies? What about generational
curses of addiction, adultery, immorality and
financial ignorance?
We are commanded to pass on a spiritual
inheritance to our children. We don’t want to pass
on the curses, but the blessings! To do that, we
must take on the enemy who is trying to destroy
that inheritance and defeat him.
Our forefathers passed on the blessings
of freedom, faith and liberty as an inheritance
for America . . . and so must we.
No matter how the election goes this fall, we know
that God’s Word will not return void. I want to
challenge you today to stand with me on
that Word through prayer and fasting for our
nation. Pray that God will move upon the leadership of this nation, preserve our families and our
freedom, and equip the next generation to run
their race with victory.
WHO WILL L E AD US ? 7
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
One of the frontlines of this spiritual battle is the classroom.
Evil forces have infiltrated our schools and sought to overpower
our parental rights and Godly influences.
State of our
nation
What about the next generation of leaders?
America’s next generation is being attacked spiritually like
never before. Pop culture surrounds them with immorality, violence
and godlessness through music, movies, clothes . . . even
classroom curriculum.
Christian researcher George Barna states that the recent
massacre at Virginia Tech should alert parents to take a hard look
at how a culture that glamorizes sex and violence is impacting
young adults. In an update about the Virginia Tech massacre,
Barna noted that only about two percent of today’s teens possess a
Biblical worldview that acknowledges the existence of God, Satan
and sin, the availability of forgiveness and grace through Jesus
Christ, and the existence of absolute moral principles provided in
the Bible.
I am convinced that the fight for our children must be won
by the age of 13. How parents influence their children prior to the
teen years is absolutely critical to the kingdom of God on earth.
Tragically, many parents are not prepared for the fight for their
children’s future. Parenting is both a privilege and a responsibility
ordained by God. It is a day-by-day, minute-by-minute effort. Too
often, parents who are overwhelmed by work or worries leave it to
others to shape their child’s life.
One of the frontlines of this spiritual battle is the classroom.
Evil forces have infiltrated our schools and sought to overpower our
parental rights and Godly influences. Just a few years ago, David
Parker was arrested and sued by a school district in Massachusetts
8
CO NNECTION W IT H JEN TEZEN F R AN K L I N
for defending his rights as a parent to protect
his kindergartener from being taught about
homosexual relationships in public school.
Abraham Lincoln is reported to have
said, “The philosophy of the classroom in one
generation is the philosophy of government in
the next.”
Barna writes in his book, Revolutionary
Parenting: “The facts have been indisputably
clear: in assessing the impact of churches,
schools, and parents, it is the latter that have the
most dramatic personal influence on a child.”
What can you do to combat evil influences
in your child’s life? Before Ezra led the freed
remnant of Israel back to Jerusalem, he called
for a holy fast, seeking God to show “the right
way for us and our little ones” (Ezra 8:21, NKJV).
After much prayer and fasting, they stepped out,
boldly trusting God for their safe passage.
We too must humbly seek God and boldly
take action for our “little ones” and for our future.
We must . . .
Please begin today to pray, fast and
seek God for the leaders of this nation. Seek
Him about how to prepare our future leaders
through training and by Godly example. As you
partner with this ministry, you can help impact
tomorrow’s generation by helping to spread
the Word into every household of this nation and
beyond through the Kingdom Connection
broadcasts and publications.
FA ST. Incorporate fasting into your life on a
regular basis. Your sacrifice will yield a harvest
of blessings and help break the generational
curses gripping your family.
In Jentezen Franklin’s three-CD series,
“Where Are Your Kids?” he reveals how
our kids truly are God’s mighty arrows—and
it is our duty as Godly parents to empower
them with faith, sharpen them with God’s
Word and send them out straight and true
into the world. Learn how you can lovingly
shape your children into powerful weapons
for God.
PR AY. Prayer is one of the most powerful
spiritual weapon we have on this earth. I want
to urge you to pray daily for your children,
your grandchildren, your family and the next
generation of leaders in this nation.
ACT. As a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle
or Sunday School teacher, you have influence
over God’s children. Take your role seriously
and be constantly aware of the little eyes and
ears who are observing your life. Take the time
to teach, guide and lead by example.
What is God’s Greatest weapon
for the future of this nation?
The answer is in your own household.
This series includes the messages, “Arrows
in the Hands of Mighty Men”, “Joshua
Men…How to Be a Great Father”, and
“Jachobed Women…How to be a Great
Mother”. They will inspire every mom, dad,
grandparent, aunt, uncle and teacher to
reach out to the children around them.

line. America’s faith and freedom go hand in hand. You cannot separate the
two. I believe it is God who gave these mighty men of faith the victory.
We must never take that history-changing victory for granted. Inscribed on
the tombstone of one such Founding Father, Pilgrim leader William Bradford,
Governor of Plymouth Colony, are the words: “What our fathers with so much
difficulty attained, do not basely relinquish.”
As we face an uncertain future in America with troubling economic news
and acts of war, we must turn back to our spiritual heritage. Let’s follow the lead
of our Founding Fathers and pray for America!
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray
and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14, NKJV).
When we do, I believe God will give us victory just as He did for these men
of vision.
God’s Word asks, “If the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?” –Psalm 11:3 nkjv
A
s a Christian, you have a foundation and a heritage built on
faith . . . on freedom through the power of the blood . . . and
on God’s unchanging Word. As an American, you also have a
heritage — a rich foundation that is also built on faith
and freedom.
The men who gathered to sign the Declaration of Independence were
profoundly changed by the truth of God’s Word. Do you know that 24 of the
56 signers held seminary degrees? Some were even active pastors! These men
were not seeking freedom from religion, but rather freedom for religion.

Reverend Duché broke out into spontaneous prayer and the others joined him.

Yes, our Founding Fathers were men of faith. They were men with families.
They were men of action! These leaders were willing to pay the price for freedom

was that God had already been at work instilling
in him the gifts and talents he would need to
lead God’s people out of bondage.
Let’s take a closer look at the D.N.A of a
leader through Moses’ example.
D : divine discontentment
Just before God began positioning
Moses on a higher level for the incredible
purpose of his life, Moses experienced a divine
discontentment.
Moses should have been content . . . he was
living in a palace. He had servants, riches and
every luxury you could imagine. Yet, something
in him began to feel dissatisfaction. He was
discontented. And when Moses saw an Egyptian
beating a Hebrew, his divine discontentment
was ignited! He said to himself, “Somebody
ought to do something about that.” When you
start saying that to yourself . . . look out!
God caused Moses to notice and focus on
the problem. None of his other buddies paid
attention, but Moses was drawn to the problem.
He said, “I’ve got to do something.” The Bible
says Moses looked this way and that way before
he killed the Egyptian. But he should have
looked up for the answer to his dilemma. He made
a mistake, but at least he tried something.
God is looking for someone who will try
something. The miracle started when Moses
tried. And God used Moses’ big failure to make
Moses more dependent on Him.
d.n.a. of a leader
W h at i s G o d
p r e p a r i n g YOU f o r ?
God has a perfect purpose and a divine plan for your life. Before you were ever born, God
established your destiny. He created you for an assignment that only you can fulfill. But before
God can use you for His glory, there is a process you must go through.
Through situations and circumstances, God fashions and forms you for His purpose. Every
step of the way you are being equipped and empowered for your destiny. God is instilling in you
the D.N.A. for leadership.
Maybe you’re experiencing the pressure of the Master’s hand at work in your life today. If so,
that is when God is about to use you for His glory! He’s developing the D.N.A. of a leader in you.
We see this process at work in the life of Moses.
When God called to Moses from the burning bush in Exodus chapter 3, Moses asked God,
“…Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out
of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11, NKJV)
God replied, “I will certainly be with you” (Exodus 3:12, NKJV). But what Moses didn’t know
14 CO NNECTION W IT H JEN TEZEN F R AN K L I N
Is there an injustice, a challenge that you cannot
get off your mind? Maybe there is an issue that
stirs your soul and boils your blood. Get ready.
God is instilling in you divine discontentment.
N : national leadership
When God is developing you into a leader,
He will expose you to national leadership. God
plucked Moses out of a little Hebrew village and
placed him in the presence of Pharaoh. It was
in the palace of Egypt that Moses learned to
dream and think big.
God needs people who will stretch their
small-time mentality and dream like a leader.
God is up to something in your life and not even
the sky is a limit to it!
Here’s some advice. If you want to catch
hold of a big vision, get in the presence of a
visionary. Learn from people of influence and
wisdom. Begin dreaming big and believing in
yourself.
The great King David began his journey to
leadership as a small shepherd boy. Before God
released him for His divine purpose, God placed
him in the palace with the national leader, King
Saul. When God wants to stretch you, He may
put you in a place that tests your abilities, skills
and plans. Just go with it. God is about to break
you out into big thoughts. He wants you to think
on a level that’s grander than the one you’ve
been thinking. Think Big!
leadership takes many roles. are you ready?

Attack Your Lack: There IS a
path to financial victory
Any time God wants to do something in your life, He will
not only put you in the presence of leaders, but He will also
give you a period of alienation from distracting influences.
Moses was a Hebrew, but God drew him out of the comfort
and familiarity of His people. God placed him in a palace . . .
a place where he just didn’t fit in. God sent him into the desert
in exile.
If God is going to develop you into a great leader,
He will put you through the alienation of leadership. He’ll
take you out of your environment. He’ll put you in a place
of discomfort. Maybe you feel different? Do you feel pulled
apart from everyone else? If so, you may be in that season of
life right now. That’s a good thing.
When God sends you into alienation, His voice is the
only one you hear…He is the only one you can really talk to.
That’s when you reach your breakthrough. That’s when you
are fashioned with the D.N.A. of a leader!
One of the purposes of alienation is to get you to the
place of development where you don’t need the applause
of men. If you think you need outside approval, you’ll be up
and down like a roller coaster. If you’re going to be who God
has called you to be, you cannot gauge your self-esteem by
the appraisal of men. You’ve got to know who you are and
what God has called you to do. Forget about what people
think. Cry out to Him today to transform and equip you for His
purposes with the D.N.A. of a leader.
When Moses got his D.N.A., he was developed into the
leader God called him to be. Moses fulfilled God’s purpose
for his life and led God’s people out of 400 years of slavery.
“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God
meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to
save many people alive” (Genesis 50:20, NKJV).
Maybe you are experiencing pain in your life today. You
can go through a storm, but don’t let the storm go through
you. You can have peace. You can know that your future is
secure. Whatever you are going through today, God has a
plan to turn it around for your good.
On more than one occasion, the Bibles says Moses,
“cried out to the Lord.” There’s something about weeping and
getting broken before God. God can turn your tragedy into
triumph. Cry out to God . . . let Him do what you cannot. Place
your cares and burdens in His hands. Remember, through
every situation God is instilling the D.N.A. of leadership and
purpose in your life.

Music captures the live worship that concluded a 21-day
journey with tens of thousands seeking intimacy with
the power
of biblical fasting
When you fast, your spirit becomes uncluttered by
the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to
the things of God.
Once you’ve experienced even a glimpse of this and the
countless rewards and blessings that follow, it changes
your entire perspective. Jentezen Franklin gives you
the keys to experiencing this kind of transformation in
FASTING: Opening the door to a deeper, more intimate,
more powerful relationship with God, one of the best and
most comprehensive books available on the topic.
Discover everything you need to know to unlock the
power of biblical fasting, including: the types of fasts
described in the Bible and how to choose which is right
for you, the connection between fasting and prayer,
the essential components of a successful fast, as well as
what to expect physically, mentally and spiritually.
Experience for yourself the
deeper, stronger relationship
with God that only comes
through prayer and fasting.

I met a young girl on the second day of our fast. She gave her heart to Jesus and
I shared with her this morning about the fast. In less than two weeks time,
she has grown in the Lord so much. She is reading the word, praying and has
been hearing His voice! She is so hungry for Him that she begged me for the
website and had all kinds of questions about fasting. She will be starting the
fast either today or tomorrow!
