In Spirit & Truth

Choosing gratitude has gained popularity in recent years. But did you know that it has its roots in the Bible? In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you that being grateful can profoundly affect your everyday life. You'll be better able to fight against worry and entitlement when you look for all that God has given you.

There are many who fear declining health; being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re exempt from this. But today, Pastor JD gently reminds us that the enemy uses our fear, in order to get what he wants. This won’t change. Satan will continue to try and twist things so that by the time the end comes, everything will be backward.

It can be scary to realize just how close we are to the End Times. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that the technology which is talked about in Revelation is already produced and being used today. Let’s not fall into the trap of being ignorant when it comes to Christ’s return; “blessed is he who watches and waits on the Lord.”

Does it ever feel like the trials you’re going through are beyond you? Today, Pastor JD reminds us, that trials in this life are certain, but that doesn’t mean we go through them alone. If there’s something you’re being tested in, remember that God has allowed it because He wants you to rely on His strength, rather than your own.

From the details of your life to the big issues, you, like most people, probably like to be prepared for what’s coming your way. Well, today, Pastor JD walks you through what to look for before Jesus returns. You’ll learn that God wanted you to have this list so that you’ll be ready for Jesus and aware of what can entangle you.

In today’s message, Pastor JD urges you to be alert and guard yourself against the schemes of Satan, God’s enemy. You see, Satan wants to use you to cause discord and break down the unity in the family of God. You’ll find that he does this by getting a foothold in your life and drawing your attention away from the Lord.

Have you ever left an argument and started to second guess what you believe? In today’s message, Pastor JD shares that God wants you to have a firm foundation in His Word. When you are rooted in the truth of the Bible, you’ll be able to discern what is from the Lord and what is simply a ploy to pull you away from Him.

Pastor JD has been giving prophecy updates for many years. He is more convinced than ever before that the second coming of Jesus Christ is near. Are you ready? Three steps to salvation include “A” – admit you’re a sinner. “B” – believe Jesus Christ is Lord. And “C” – call upon His name. A, B, C is all it takes.

Today, Pastor JD discusses 20 “Real Talk” topics from some of his previous updates. He takes a no-nonsense approach and summarizes what has already happened and what will happen related to the pandemic, the vaccine, and the return of Jesus Christ. Pastor JD is confident that all of this will end with the Rapture.

Pastor JD is back after taking a break from his prophecy updates to seek solace and guidance from the Lord. This time of respite was encouraging and rejuvenating. Today, Pastor JD acknowledges that his updates are difficult to hear but, as they say, “the truth hurts.” Listen, rest in God’s peace, and stand strong in truth.

These days it seems like arguing is the primary mode of communication for many people. A few minutes on social media will prove that! But, as Pastor JD explains today, that’s not a good thing. He invites you to explore what the Bible has to say about arguing and look at several of the consequences that follow it.

We’re living in unprecedented times as the Lord’s return draws ever closer. In today’s message, Pastor JD shares that your trust in the Lord needs to grow. God is calling you into a fuller, more intimate relationship with Him. He’s faithful and He’s in this with you. You can keep going because you trust Him.

In times of chaos and crisis, you tend to focus on what’s right in front of you. In those moments it’s easy to forget that God is there and He’s big enough for whatever is going on. Today, Pastor JD urges you to prioritize remembering God’s character and promises. In Him, you’ll find hope, perspective, and strength.

Pastor JD ends today’s update with more “but God stories” that will help encourage you in these difficult times. He also ends with the A, B, C’s of salvation because today is the day to accept Christ as your Savior. “A” is for admit that you’re a sinner. “B” is for believe that Jesus is Lord. And “C” is for call upon His name!

One of the most difficult things Christians are asked to do in the Bible is to pray for their enemies. How do you pray for someone who’s hurting you, hating you, and making your life miserable? Well, Pastor JD encourages you to just give it a try. The more you pray for someone, the more your heart softens to them. Start today.

The Bible tells us often, “Do not fret.” We usually think of this as “do not worry or be anxious.” But the original meaning also has an edge of anger to it. “Don’t get hot under the collar,” as we might say today. Pastor JD reminds us to stay focused on Christ. No matter where this world is headed, Jesus will be victorious.

For many of us, life moves at lightning speed. We’re quickly moving from one thing to the next. But is this what is best for you? Today, Pastor JD challenges you to slow down and spend time with God. He shares that going in fast forward doesn’t allow you to listen to the Lord. You need quiet to hear His still, small voice.

God cares about your character. In fact, as you’ll discover today, your faithfulness and dependability are very important to the Lord. Pastor JD shares that there are lots of things in your life that will distract you from who God is and what He wants for you. He urges you to watch for these entanglements so you can grow in faithfulness.

There’s a big difference between a life lived in the grace God has given you and one spent trying to make yourself feel good enough for His love.

The world tells us that if we want something in this life, we just have to work REALLY hard for it...
