In Spirit & Truth

We’re all used to change and inflation – that’s the way the world works. But the rise that we’re seeing – Pastor JD reminds us today – is not only of this world but of powers of darkness. We are hurtling towards end times, and this is only the beginning. Pay attention, because everything we see happening, points to Christ’s return.

Sometimes in a state of uncertainty, we cling to things or people, hoping that everything will work out in the end. Pastor JD reminds us today, that we are walking in a world of uncertainty. There’s division on every corner and there are things that we just can’t talk about. Instead of clinging to any earthly thing, put your hope in Jesus.

If you think God enjoys the thought of anyone spending eternity in hell, you're sorely mistaken. Pastor JD wants you to know, that if your end is hell, you took yourself there. If God enjoys seeing people in eternal torment, why do you think He sent His only Son to suffer and die to make a way so you don't have to?

The Apostle Paul warns you to keep yourself from idols. Today, Pastor JD reminds you, that all idols aren't just carved images. Today's idols, often, are people in high places – even people in religion. Some idolize pastors, TV preachers, and worship artists. Remember! Jesus will not share His glory with ANYONE.

Today, Pastor JD wants you to know, just how much Jesus loves you. Yes, He is a God of justice and judgment. But, at His core, is His long-suffering, and grace toward you. He said that He didn't come to judge, but to save, and to give you life, everlasting! Because of His love and mercy, you can trust Him.

It’s so tempting for a believer in Christ to share, not the truth exactly, but a more palatable version of the truth. Today, Pastor JD will explain how you must share God’s truth, in His word, as it is written. Don’t change it to appeal to more people. Don’t water it down to fit into society’s hopes. You must speak the truth!

In the current climate of the world today, Pastor JD implores you, believers, to be discerning of all you hear around you. This includes news and politics, as well as from your pastors and teachers. The devil tries to plant untruths inside churches, and you must be discriminating against what you trust and believe.

Quite often, you’ll hear unbelievers loudly proclaim some of the same things believers in Christ will be saying. And, as Pastor JD explains today, Satan uses this as a way to add confusion and distrust into the world. So, believers must be discerning and intentional to listen to the messages being spoken around them.

In our arrogance, we sometimes think we can fix our own problems. Pastor JD, wants you to know, that this is the antithesis of what God desires, for you. He wants you to, lay down your pride, and, simply surrender to Him. Remember, He gives grace to the humble, but rejects the proud.

One of the most important things, we need to come to terms with, is our utter helplessness. Today, Pastor JD wants you to know, that, that's why Jesus came. You can't save yourself. You can't make a better version of yourself. Self-help programs are useless. Only Jesus can give you a new heart, and save you.

Hebrews Chapter Twelve, explains the difference between our earthly fathers - who chastise us for our good - versus our Heavenly Father, who's chastisement brings us life. Today, Pastor JD's message is about the character of our God, who executes judgment, yet is full of mercy and grace.

People are struggling. They’re dealing with sicknesses they don’t understand, financial pressures, job uncertainty, and all of these things make people anxious. Pastor JD will be reminding you today that God is aware of your struggles. He knows the way for you to get through – not around – these hard times; it starts with putting your trust in Him.

There are all kinds of disasters happening around the world right now. Some are natural, while some appear to be caused by man’s activities. The results of all these are tragic for men and women around the world. But as you’ll hear Pastor JD teach, God stands above all, using these circumstances for His benefit.

It's hard to listen to people mock God and live their lives as though He didn’t exist. It becomes harder when you see them succeeding in finances and fame. Doesn’t God care? You ask. Doesn’t He see? Well, listen to Pastor JD’s update today and it’ll become obvious that God knows, and He’s giving these people a chance to get right with Him.

When Jesus taught the disciples to pray, He said to pray this way, “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who've trespassed against us”. Today, Pastor JD reminds you to forgive one another. Even if you have been hurt, it’s so important to show them the same type of forgiveness your Lord has shown you.

When you go through hard times it’s natural to think, “Why am I going through this”. Have you ever wondered if the hardship you're enduring right now, is because of the benefit of someone else? Today, Pastor JD will bring to light how it’s not always about you. You may be the tool to bring someone else to Christ.

When you have been hurt or wronged by someone it can be difficult to see them with an eternal view. As you listen to Pastor JD today, he will encourage you to look at others with a heavenly perspective, and not a temporal view. You must see them as either saved or unsaved and if you do, it will change everything.

If you've been a believer for any given period of time, chances are you've asked the infamous question “what is the mark of the beast?” While many suspect the current vaccine might be it, Pastor JD suggests it might not be far off. In his prophecy update today, you'll learn how these current vaccines might be a precursor to the mark.

If you're familiar with your Bible, chances are you're familiar with what Scripture calls the great deception. Have you ever wondered or thought to yourself just how great it might be? In today's prophecy update, Pastor JD elaborates on the scale of this deception, and how it'll reach each and every nation.

If you've been paying attention for the last few years, chances are you've noticed that it seems like everyone is under a mass deception. Unfortunately, the great deception spoken of in Scripture will make today's events seem like a walk in the park. In today's message, Pastor JD warns you not to “buy the lie.”

As Pastor JD continues his teaching series through the book of Philemon, he'll be exhorting women to submit and respect their husbands, and for men to be loving and understanding. The Bible challenges husbands to lay down their own lives for their wives, just as Jesus laid down His own life for the church.

Have you noticed how most of the values of the world are in contrast to what God values? Today, Pastor JD will be encouraging you to be meek, not aggressive, and proud. Jesus, Himself is the perfect example of meekness, He had power under control. He was humble and cooperated with His Father in Heaven.

Prayer is one of the foundations of the Christian faith. Jesus, Himself had to get away from everyone to pray regularly. If the Lord felt it necessary to pray, how much more should you!? Today, Pastor JD will be challenging you to make prayer a staple discipline in your life and to allow God to speak to your heart.

We live in a time where everyone struggles with anxiety. Pastor JD does too! But today, He reminds us how we need to take our thoughts captive. Don’t let your fear rule you. Instead of fretting, remember to thank God for anything. Pray about everything, and in turn, don’t worry about anything. God will take care of you.

We’ve all been let down by people we love, and it hurts, even when it’s not malicious. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that God will never be one of those people. He can’t not keep a promise. Instead of reeling in the hurt and the fear, give your cares to God, and allow Him to wrap you in His peace that surpasses understanding.
