Jordan and Kristen Ministries

Send a text We've been talking for a few episodes about getting through a wilderness period in your life. We've spoken about the importance of reading the word of God and we spoke yesterday about the importance of not panicking. In that same vein, it's important when you're looking for a way out of the wilderness not to confuse a nice coincidence with God's plan for you, a...

Send a text Oftentimes, right before you're about to exit a wilderness period in your life, there will be an obstacle that you have to overcome in order to get out and come into your blessing. You rarely just exit straight through. There's usually one last hurdle and when the hurdle comes, what you're going to see is that it's going be something you can’t overcome yourself, tha...

Send a text One of the big barriers to prayers being answered is a failure to crucify the flesh.  Jesus said “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” In Galatians, we’re told “Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." In other words, you can't serve two masters. You can't serve...

Send a text What did Jesus mean when He said "The Meek shall inherit the Earth"? It's one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. "Meek" does not mean "weak," but rather refers to being powerful, yet choosing to be gentle and under control. Support the show

Send a text It's not enough to pray, you have to develop your relationship with God.  And the first step in doing that is understanding that God’s not interested in being your sidekick, and He is certainly not a magic talisman.  He’s not some supernatural power that you can manipulate at your own will and for your own purposes.  This is not “the Force” from Star Wars.  The whole principle of...

Send a text We're not just physical beings, we're spiritual beings, and being trapped in a wilderness is a spiritual problem.  Whether we’re in a viral pandemic, or economic collapse, whether it's a personal thing -- your life just isn't going right, you got fired from your job, your relationship has failed, your world is caving -- those aren’t physical problems, those are spir...

Send a text The worst thing you can do when you're waiting on God is to make a panic move. Don't panic like Abraham and father an Ishmael. Wait on God's promise and father an Isaac. Support the show

Send a text We focus so much on being born again, and that’s great, but we miss the focus on the other part, which is that the old us already died.  The book of Galatians actually says that we were crucified with Christ. “I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer that I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life, which I now live in the flesh, I live in faith.” That's why P...

Send a text Faith does not mean the absence of wisdom. It does not mean substituting bad decisions for wise decisions. But here’s what it does mean: it means we’re not going to be moved by bad reports. We’re going to trust God no matter what. Faith is not the absence of knowledge. It is the knowledge that God works in that area that we cannot see, and that His promises are true, that all things wo...

Send a text Yesterday's episode explained the importance of walking by faith and not by sight. Tonight we discuss the importance of building up your faith through the Word of God Support the show

Send a text Jordan's Easter message reminds everyone that between Jesus's crucifixion and the resurrection, there was a waiting period. But for those who persevere through the wait, God's reward is great! Support the show

Send a text The verse “you have not because you ask not,” which is in the book of James, gets misinterpreted a lot because, as with a lot of verses in the Bible, people just read the part they like and they don't read the rest. What it actually says is that you have not because you ask not, AND when you do ask, you're asking to fulfill your own lusts. In other words, you're not aski...

Send a text What does the Bible mean when it demands that wives submit to their husbands? Men and women are different. Gender is not an arbitrary social construct. And being different, we have different roles to play: men should be servants of their wives, and women should support their husbands.  Support the show

Send a text We spoke with the other day about the importance of not letting negative people speak defeat and destruction over you, because words are so powerful. But it's also important that you don't do it to yourself by allowing negative influences into your mind through the things you watch. Support the show

Send a text When you go through rough patches, don’t let that little voice come into your head that if you have questions and disappointments and don’t understand how God could let this or that happen, that you’re not really a believer. That’s the enemy’s trap. Being a believer doesn’t mean you understanding everything.  It doesn’t mean you don’t have questions.  It means trusting God even when yo...

Send a text Peter was able to walk on water until he turned his focus from Jesus and onto the waves. Are we going to focus on bad news, or are we going to focus on God's promises?  Support the show

Send a text One of the most confusing things about the Bible is it tells us over and over again to pray and that what we pray for, God is going to give us.  How do we reconcile unanswered prayers with God’s promise that He will answer our prayers. That's answered for us in Romans 8, when Paul says, “likewise, the Holy Spirit also helps us in our weakness for we do not know what we should pray...

Send a text We think of prayer as talking to God, but you also have to listen. The Bible describes God's voice as being very still and small. That's because more than anything else, God desires intimacy with you. So He's not going to shout at you with a bull horn, which you could hear from a mile away. He's going to want to bring you in close to Him and whisper.  Support the sh...

Send a text Today, Christians all over the world celebrate both Passover -- God protecting us from harm -- and Good Friday -- the good news of Jesus's ultimate sacrifice for us.  But these are one and the same.  In fact, Paul describes Jesus as being our Passover.   Support the show

Send a text Prosperity is a difficult topic because so many people abuse it to glorify themselves, but the Bible is clear: God desires you "to prosper in all things, even as your soul prospers." (3 John 1:2). Support the show

Send a text Jordan's two-minute message is: Be the Miracle Someone Else Prayed For, followed by another inspirational message from Kristen. We also received sixty-nine prayer requests tonight, and we're going to address many of them. Many more will be displayed at the bottom of the screen on the crawler, so please keep those people in your prayers as well. Support the show

Send a text Jordan's two-minute message is: “God is Glorified in Impossible Things,” followed by another inspirational prayer from Kristen. If your situation looks impossible, be glad. God loves a challenge. He loves when things are impossible, because then He gets the credit when the challenge is overcome.  Support the show

Send a text Jordan's short message is on the importance of giving, and in particular tithing. The Bible says that people who don't tithe are literally robbing from God, but those who do tithe can expect blessings to chase them down and overtake them.  Kristen follows, as always, with another one of her inspirational prayers.  Support the show

Send a text Jordan's two-minute message is: "Keep Negative People Out of Your Life", followed by another inspirational prayer from Kristen. The Bible says "death and life is in the power of the tongue." You don't need negative people speaking defeat over your life. It's one thing to be a light, but it's quite something else to let other people try to put you...
