Divine Assignment

By Tommy Franks Ph.D.

Divine Assignment is an inspirational book for all Christian soldiers everywhere (past, present, and future) that have been snatched out of the fiery, burning inferno, only by the grace and mercy of our Father God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the sweet Holy Spirit. As you read this book, many of you will be inspired to serve the Lord with an even greater determination, boldness, zeal, and love for God and humanity. This book will help you understand that you are on a divine assignment for Jesus the Christ, and hell has nothing for you or anything positive to offer you.

Many of you have read some of my books in the past. You know by now that this book, Divine Assignment, is not for just anyone. It may offend the religious scribes, Sadducees, and Pharisees. If this book offends you and keeps you out of hell, then it will have served its purpose. Jesus offended many. The Word still offends many today. In my prayers, I thank God for you knowing that you are heaven-bound. As you read this book, you will know that you are on the cutting edge and that you have tremendous possibilities and mega potential in God’s army.

Dedication

I dedicate this book DIVINE ASSIGNMENT to all Christian Soldiers everywhere (past, present, and future) that have been snatched out of the fiery, burning inferno only by the grace and mercy of our Father God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Sweet Holy Spirit. Many of YOU have inspired me to serve the Lord with an even greater determination, boldness, zeal, love, revolutionary, and innovative effort. To you I say, THANKS.

Similarly, because you are on Divine Assignment for Jesus the Christ, hell has NOTHING for you. The enemy has absolutely nothing in you. Therefore, to the Believer…hell has nothing to offer, but to the sinner, hell means pain, torment, fire, and agony forever and ever.

Thank God hell has no part in you. And I know that you want NOTHING in hell. YOU know the Lord Jesus and you know His Word. YOU are now a lover and a Christian REVOLUTIONARY on your way to heaven. YOU are a GIVER and not a taker.

In my prayers, I thank God for you and my Christian heritage. We are not going to hell, but are heaven bound. I appreciate you sharing the Good News with others. You are on the cutting edge. YOU have tremendous POSSIBILITIES and mega-potential in God’s Army.

I thank God for my lovely wife, companion, and best friend…Karen. I also dedicate this book to our six children.

Forward

The Reverend Kathy E. Hulin

Dr. Franks is passionate about his relationship with God and in living out the divine assignment that has been placed on his life.

I had the opportunity to serve with Tommy on a Christian healing mission to Lithuania in 2018. He proclaimed his strong belief in God’s love for all people as they turn and come to Him and in God’s power to overcome all ills in this world.

Tommy speaks out of his experiences and has received an abundance of God’s grace in his life. He believes without a shadow of doubt that Jesus has overcome all obstacles of this life to win dominion over death and hell. He wants people to know that they don’t have to be subject to hell if they listen and submit to God.

May Tommy’s proclamation of the power of the name of Jesus and his claiming the blood that Jesus shed for you and me invigorate your journey with God as you read. And may God Almighty, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit bless you and be with you, now and forever.

Introduction

The Reverend Keith Stuarte

It is an honor to write the introduction to this great book Divine Assignment for my friend Dr. Tommy Franks. I have known Dr. Franks for over forty years. I can tell you that what he has written in his book, he has personally lived and continues to do so.

This is the most important book that you could ever read. It gives you an understanding of why you are here on this earth…and the instructions on how to walk in your purpose. I have been in full time ministry for more than thirty-nine years. As a pastor, the greatest challenge I have faced is getting people to realize that they were created to reign victoriously on this earth and to walk in their destiny.

I wish I could have had this book in my hands many years ago. It would have greatly helped me accomplish so many challenges that I have faced in the area of ministry. This book is a must read for anyone. Regardless, if you are a church member or a church leader in ministry, it is for you. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

This book is an eye opening opportunity for all believers and non-believers. Dr. Franks addresses heaven and hell issues and the the choices we make.

This book is very informative and loaded with scripture taken from six thousand years of Godly inspired word. (The Bible)

Divine Assignment could very easily be used as a guideline for Bible studies and other Christian gatherings. A must read!

First Words

Many of you who have read some of my books in the past. You know by now that this book DIVINE ASSIGNMENT is not for just anyone. It may offend the religious Scribes, Sadducees, and Pharisees. If this book offends you and keeps you out of hell, then it will have served its purpose. Jesus offended many. THE WORD still offends many today.

Every Christian today should be on DIVINE ASSIGNMENT. God has given us a mission to accomplish in His Kingdom. We need to get back to basics and realize that we have been commissioned to win the lost at any cost. WHY? Because a HOT and fiery HELL awaits anyone who has not confessed Jesus as Lord. A sinner (unbeliever) who never calls on the Lord…will spend all eternity in a dark, lonely, tormenting, and burning hell. One of our Divine Assignments as the Church…is to go out beyond the four walls of our churches and bid them to come in. This includes street people, homeless, the poor, and the down-in-outers. Many on the streets are just waiting for you and me to compel them to come to Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

Someone once asked, What in hell do you WANT? What is in hell to make anyone go there?

There is nothing down there for any EARTHLING to want or desire. Hell is eternal (Heb.6:2). Hell has torment (Rev.14:9-11). Hell is hot (Mt.3:10-12). All of its inhabitants will eventually be cast into the burning Lake of Fire to be tormented forever and ever (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15, 21:8). WHY would ANYONE CHOOSE HELL over HEAVEN? There is nothing in hell that any person in his right mind would want or desire.

Heaven has it ALL. Hell has nothing to offer, but MISERY. What could anyone possibly WANT in hell?

Hell is an awful place! Originally, it was NOT prepared for man, but for the devil and his thugs (Mt.25:41).

Moreover, hell is currently the abode of evil spirits, demons, and wicked souls (the ones who have rejected Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives). Hell is a fiery inferno and a place of torment and punishment. It is a place of darkness
