In Spirit & Truth

The A, B, C's of the Gospel have become a guide stone of sorts for the Mid East Prophecy Updates. Pastor JD is now receiving many reports of others, all over the world, using this same simple method of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. And the reports are that many are coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ!!!

There is so much happening on the world stage right now. Things are lining up like never before...especially in the middle east. Is there a chance that a financial collapse could launch a global currency? Of course, these ideas have been shared in times past...but, we now know that the technology exists to make this a reality.

Are you in a situation right now that has you overwhelmed? Today Pastor JD encourages us to insert the words, “But God” into the situation we’re facing; these words bring hope, power, and life. When we found ourselves in the worst state possible: sin and death, God brought His grace and life to us through Jesus. He’s more than able.

As Paul prays for the Ephesian believers, he prays they would know the hope to which they’ve been called. Pastor JD shares today that this hope is not on a whim or changing, but sure and secure because it’s anchored in Christ. We can be bold when we pray because we have a firm foundation in Jesus on which our faith is grounded.

How much do we forfeit by asking God for too little? Pastor JD poses this question today as he teaches on why we pray. We know we should pray, but it’s all about WHO we know and pray to. As our heavenly Father, we can approach God confidently because of the relationship we have with Him because of Jesus. Ask big!

If you’ve chosen to trust Jesus as your Savior, be thankful that God has called you and brought you into His family. Pastor JD explains today that God is using the difficult times in our lives to make us more like Jesus because that’s His ultimate purpose for us. As you become more like Jesus, seek out others who need Him as their Savior.

Each and every prophecy update ends the same way, with Pastor JD sharing the Good News, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This Gospel presentation is as simple as the A, B, C's. Today Pastor JD will do the same. Perhaps today's the day that you need to turn your life around and accept Jesus as your personal Savior.

The Spirit of Prophecy always points us back to the person and work of Jesus Christ. You've probably noticed that the overall tone of the Prophecy Updates with Pastor JD Farag are very focused on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is because Pastor JD truly BELIEVES what he's teaching us. He believes that time is short and so he wants to see as many people come to Jesus as possible.

Do you know that God really likes you? Pastor JD explains today that we can grasp the idea that God loves us, but it’s harder to imagine God wanting to spend time with us. In Ephesians 1, the apostle Paul tells us that God has lavished us with spiritual blessings. It’s His choice to do this and He’s done it for you because He likes you.

Have you thought about what your life would look like without grace? So many times, God should have brought His judgement down on us, but instead He gives us His grace, as we’ll hear from Pastor JD today. When God does this, grace changes everything in our lives. Be a giver of grace to others because of the grace you’ve experienced.

When we’ve tasted of the goodness of God’s grace, our perspective during hard times changes. Today Pastor JD opens the book of Ephesians by reminding us we’re saved AND sanctified by the grace of God. If we’re in Christ, we’re called saints who have been set apart for God. Praise Him today for the grace He shows you daily!

Testimonies continue to pour in about how God is using the Mid-East Prophecy Update. Today Pastor JD shares with us a touching story and prayer request from a listener. It's exciting to know that God's kingdom is being expanded. As you listen, pray about who YOU might be able to share this message with. It's possible through the mobile app!

The announcement by the Palestinian government to declare Jerusalem as the capital of the so called Palestinian state is something that should cause us to be on alert. Though this has been said before, the clamor for peace in the middle east may make it more possible than ever. God knows the future for His land and His people. We just need to remain faithful until the return of Jesus.

Where does your value and worth come from? Our flesh craves the praise and approval of others, yet Pastor JD teaches that at the end of the day, the only One we’ll answer to is God. If we put our worth in what others think of us, we’ll continually be hurt and disappointed. Remember your true identity is found in Jesus and what He thinks of you.

When you’ve found yourself in valleys, where do you turn? Hopefully when we’re at our lowest, this pushes us to turn to God for the help only He can give. Today Pastor JD urges us to cry out to God and wait on Him because He’ll lift us out of the valley. Make spending time with God a regular habit so it comes naturally in all circumstances.

What’s going on in your life right now that leaves you feeling like you want to give up? The enemy will wait until we’re spiritually and physically exhausted to bring despair and hopelessness, as we’ll hear from Pastor JD today. Let’s be like David in the Psalms when he tells his soul to wait on the Lord. God is the Only One who can renew us.

The more you get to know God, the more you understand His ways are opposite man’s. Today Pastor JD helps us appreciate that God’s economy is the reverse of the world’s in that the more we give away, the more we receive back from Him. If we’re stingy with what He’s given us, we’ll miss out on abundant blessings He has in store for us.

Would you say your heart is characterized by stinginess or generosity? Today Pastor JD speaks about the concept of sowing and reaping. It can be hard for us to have an attitude of financially giving generously, but God’s Word makes it clear that He will bless our generosity in more ways than we know because He loves a cheerful giver.

Pride in our lives is always destructive and dangerous. Today, Pastor JD points out the ridiculousness of finding fault in someone else when they have a little speck of sawdust in their eye, but we’re walking around with a telephone pole in ours. Be aware that it’s so easy to see pride in others because you recognize it in yourself first.

We don’t like going through difficult times or experiencing pain, but today Pastor JD reminds us that God uses hard things in our lives to break us and make us more like Jesus. Brokenness brings about humility and a softening of our heart toward people. Can you say the ways God has broken you has helped you relate more to others who are hurting?

The church is a hospital for sinners and restoring hurting people should be its mission. Pastor JD makes it clear today that when we’re tempted to point fingers at others, we need to watch out for pride because we’re just as vulnerable to sin as they are. Let’s be ready to minister by offering grace and dealing gently with others.

How hard it is for us to rest in God, letting Him do the work that we often try to do in our own strength. Today Pastor JD teaches how fruitless it is to say we’ll try and do better next time when we fail. The only way to grow and mature is by abiding in Christ. Does your life resemble one that’s full of work and striving, or one of rest and relationship?
