In Spirit & Truth

Many of us are all too familiar with the warning signs of the end times written in Paul's second letter to Timothy. However, many of us make the mistake of equating this to the world, rather than The Church. In today's Prophecy Update, Pastor JD points out that these warnings were speaking to The Church, not the world.

As believers and followers of Christ, it's imperative that we ask ourselves an important question. Is the world influencing us, or are we influencing the world? In today's Prophecy Update, Pastor JD reflects on the ever-increasing influence of the world on The Church, which has unfortunately made many believers lukewarm.

Feelings are different than facts. Sometimes it makes sense to make a decision based on gut feeling. But as Pastor JD shares in today's study, your relationship with the Father can't be based upon your feelings. Focus on the promises, fulfilled prophecy, and truth found in the Bible to ground your faith.

What's the longest you've gone without your phone? And that one time you lost your phone doesn't count. If you're like most smartphone users, you are hooked. But as Pastor JD points out in today's lesson, even your phone can come between you and God. If something has you, it's time to turn its power over to the Lord.

The guilt you feel for not being a good Christian isn't something that is taught in the Bible. Sure it's good to pray and read your Bible, but not doing so doesn't upset God. Pastor JD shares in today's message that your actions (or inaction) don't disappoint God. The only one winning is Satan, so free yourself of this guilt.

If you're a well-versed Bible student, particularly in the Book of Revelation, you're probably well aware of the warning signs of today. The push for globalism and a great reset should be enough on its own. In today's prophecy update, Pastor JD discusses several prophecies of Revelation that are coming to fruition.

Many of us are probably well aware of the state of our society, and societies abroad. It looks like an absolute collapse if we're to be honest. So what's causing it? In today's prophecy update, Pastor JD reflects on the rise of deception and division that Scripture warns is a deliberate sign of the end times.

While many of us would be quick to agree that it'd be more beneficial to be ready, rather than angry, we all too often let the state of the world anger us. In today's prophecy update, Pastor JD reflects on the ever-increasing decay of our world, while reminding us that we're called to always be ready.

When we hear the word “blessing,” we tend to focus on God blessing us rather than the other way around. But today, Pastor JD explains that we are also capable of blessing – and even ministering to – God. And just how do we do this? By being obedient to Him; obedience is more important to God than sacrifice.

While God wants us to remember His goodness towards us, the Enemy seeks to torment us by drawing our memory back to our failures. Today, Pastor JD challenges us to focus on God’s deeds rather than our own, because all too often we forget about God’s gracious miracles and instead ruminate on our own sin.

Today, Pastor JD shows us what it means when the Bible says that God has redeemed us. Jesus has paid our sin debt and has chosen to invest in us. He promises to take care of our needs, and He allows us to live free from fear because He is for us! We don’t need to worry, because our Creator has redeemed us!

In today's message, Pastor JD focuses on the last item on his list of the ten End Time prophetic words. This message reviews verses in the book of Revelation pointing to a genocidal de-population of the world. He reminds us that the rapture will happen soon and that witnessing for Christ is extremely important.

Today, Pastor JD continues looking at the list of ten End Time prophetic words. This message starts by looking at verses speaking of the abomination of desolation in the Jewish Temple. He then moves to verses that speak of the rise of the Anti-Christ and ends this message looking at verses about worldwide de-population.

Today, Pastor JD begins his list of ten prophetic words that are either fulfilled or very close to being fulfilled. At the top of the list is the fulfillment of Isaiah 66:8, which was fulfilled when Israel became a nation in one day. He ends this message by beginning to explain the fulfillment of verses that prophesy the rise of the Anti-Christ.

The Bible tells us that God disciplines His children. And today, Pastor JD shows that this truth is encouraging! God’s discipline validates that we are His children, and it will always be for our good! While we will undoubtedly face challenges in life, we can take heart, knowing that God is working for our good – even if it hurts for now.

Today, Pastor JD reminds us how spectacular God’s glory is. This glory is not to be trifled with by mortals – if we try to take glory for what only God has done, there will be consequences. God takes this very seriously, and all the glory belongs to Him alone. Our flesh will never glory in the presence of Christ.

It’s tempting to imagine Jesus as harsh towards His disciples. But, as Pastor JD shows us today, that’s not the picture given to us in the Bible. In fact, prophecies in the Old Testament point to a shockingly gentle Savior. And the Gospels show us a Christ who was so compassionate that children flocked to Him.

In Lukes's gospel, Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of His day, for not recognizing signs of the times, in which they lived. In today's Prophecy Update, Pastor JD points out that the signs of the times in which we live are nearly impossible to mistake. Not only are they clear, but they're also becoming increasingly more frequent.

Do you know a deep sleeper? Are you one yourself? You know, your head hits the pillow, the REM sleep kicks in and you're snoring away. You're dead to the world, completely oblivious to anything around you. In today's Prophecy update, Pastor JD warns us of the danger, of being in a spiritual state, of “deep sleep.”

Whatever you might think about being “woke”, the truth is, that the bible clearly teaches us as believers in Christ, that we should be awake. Pastor JD helps us to see in Today's Prophecy update, that God's word not only helps us to live for today but to prepare for tomorrow. Are you awake, and watching for Jesus' soon return?

We’ll get confused in our lives pretty often, I know that I do. But in today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that confusion doesn’t come from God but from the enemy. If you ever find yourself all mixed up and confused, don’t blame God! God’s will is perfect and clear. The one who makes it confusing is Satan.

Sometimes, we let our worldly concerns take our attention away from God’s strength. But, in today’s message, Pastor JD challenges us to remember that comparing God to our little problems is almost insulting! No problem is too big or too little for God, so why should we wait to ask him for his guidance?

Have you ever thought that one of your struggles was too “little” to matter to God? In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that God doesn’t tire, and doesn’t faint. So why then would such a small problem ever be too little for him? God can handle everything you throw at him, don’t ever let yourself think otherwise!

Is it ever hard for you to read through the prophecies in the old testament and struggle to understand why God would plan to have all the struggles and difficulties in store for those on this planet? Today, Pastor JD reminds us that these are to point us to God's glory, and ultimately, we face these times for our good.

The prophecies made thousands of years ago seem so distant and almost not able to be applied today. But that couldn't be further from the truth. The prophesies Pastor JD walks us through today so very clearly point us to a carefully laid out plan that God has made for this planet and all who are here.
