Allen Jackson Ministries

The season we have survived has been fierce, but it is the beginning of birth pains. Scripture tells us the times we have entered will bring multiple challenges - people will come in the Name of the Lord with a distorted message, but we must be able to clearly know the truth of God. Pastor Allen Jackson presents a message of encouragement to the Church, not to live in fear. But in the time when false prophets arise, hold onto the truth. We have the truth, we must simply chose to use it. To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, click here: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

We need God's truth more now than ever. We have seen how the routines, habits, and ideas around Church are no longer sufficient – we need a different response. Pastor Allen Jackson affirms the necessity of a greater understanding of what is happening around us. It isn't just an election year and everything around that is amplified – the Spirit of the Living God is moving and shaking what is true in our world. This isn't cause for alarm or anxiety, these are great things! But the Church of Jesus Christ needs to wake up from our slumber and recognize what is happening around us. We have been called to stand, and we are not alone. To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, click here: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

The Church must have a greater understanding and knowledge of God. We are facing challenges as a nation --never faced before -- and they are greater and more threatening that a political climate. It is the moving and shaking of a spiritual battle. The solutions do not lie within a ballot box, they come from a moving of the Spirit of God. Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us we can no longer afford to "play Church". Familiar routines and habits have been shaken. Instead of trying to push the restart button on time, we as the People of God have a choice to move toward what God has for us.

We have always known that prayer was important, but have we stood in a place to where we cultivate and value the communication we have with the Lord? We tend to know the answer and can recite the proper scriptures when needed, but the importance and transformational power that comes from prayer cannot be understated. Pastor Allen Jackson calls and reminds us that the act of prayer is vital to the establishment of the Church. The idea that we can call upon the name of Jesus in our times of need cannot be casted aside. Our prayers bring the Creator of Heaven and Earth to bare, we cannot forget the opportunity we have.

The act of prayer is a central element in the Christian faith. We have taken some time to cultivate our prayer lives, but the season we are walking through has been the ultimate test. Pastor Allen Jackson shares how important the action of prayer is in your personal and corporate lives. The changes we seek for our culture are dependent on the hearts and prayers of the people of God. We have an assignment, and it begins with a simple obedience to the Word of God.

The Lord prompts us with many different seasons and challenges. The time we have spent in 2020 may not have been comfortable or pleasant, but it has been a year of the Lord revealing himself in new ways. The Kingdom of God has opened a new pathway for the people of God to engage - yet we tend to focus on the inconvenience. Pastor Allen Jackson invites us to have a perspective shift when it comes to hardships in our life. Rather than seeing what is in our way as a nuisance, see it as an opportunity to accomplish something for the Kingdom of God.

Our foundations are being shaken to the very core. The history of our universities, public systems, and common ideals have been tossed to the side - and the Church has been negligent. With the council of scripture, we are warned constantly to not be asleep to the opportunities around us. Pastor Allen Jackson call on the Church to be awake to the active Spirit of God. To see the Spirit of God reign more vibrantly and intensely requires the hearts of His people to be engaged and active for His purposes. We have been called - you need only answer.

Our story on earth centers around the person of Jesus Christ. What you believe about Him and the degree to which you serve Him is a very strong influence for your life. Many people within the faith focus on the ancillary differences of religion, but the root of why we are here is found within Jesus of Nazareth. Pastor Allen Jackson asks us the daring question - Who do you say Jesus of Nazareth is in your life? To what degree of boldness do you acknowledge that He is Lord of your life? Your answer to who Jesus is determines both your time under the sun and your time in eternity. Invite Jesus to be Lord of your life – all that you are, all that you have and all you will ever be.

We are walking through a time of great deception and propaganda, and the Church is a target. The purposes of God are being tried and opposed more than ever before, but what is our response? Pastor Allen Jackson brings a word of focus and reminder that we live under the watchful care and provision of All Mighty God, but that does not mean we sit idly by until the end of the age. We are called to be active participants and ambassadors for the Kingdom of God. He has called your name and given you an assignment for this moment in time.

The issues we have faced in this season are not only local but global. We have seen this time period bring more division and dissection than ever before, but we are not without hope. Throughout scripture we see that when the people of God call and pray for change, history is written. Pastor Allen Jackson shares a perspective that when we ask for the rain of righteousness, we must also be prepared for the harvest that follows. God is awakening His people through this time, and we must be ready to reap the bounty of His provision.

We have a resolution for the season we are in, but we first must recognize the conditions we see are paired with spiritual forces around us. The victorious outcomes we seek may come in various forms of politics, economics, or other categories – but the ultimate resolution is spiritual. Pastor Allen Jackson reinforces our calling to be the Church of Jesus Christ, but also reminds us we will have opposition. Throughout history the purposes of the Church have been opposed, but God is for us and with us in every battle.

Though we live in the flesh, the battles set before us are in the Spiritual Realm. Our futures are in the balance and we need the encouragement, safe-guarding, and empowerment of the Spirit of the Living God. Pastor Allen Jackson opens the discussion of how we are called and equipped to stand for the Kingdom of God in times of great conflict.

Within this season of shaking, we have seen unprecedented manipulation and deception - but we have also witnessed immense movements of the Spirit of God. Pastor Allen Jackson brings this to our attention, but then asks the question, "What are we to do?"

Even when the times of this world are filled with fear, confusion, dissension, and unrest – we still have a God who is on the throne and wants to help us. Through the persons of God, we receive the help of the Holy Spirit to guide us through these times with righteousness. Pastor Allen Jackson shares the notion of how we have a helper in the Holy Spirit, who was modeled after the person of Jesus Christ, who was sent by God the Father. We have an almighty God who has never abandoned us, and we need to recognize our dependence in Him to lead triumphant and victorious lives.

We have great freedoms and liberties within our nation - yet we forget where they come from. We believe that it is through our own intellect, but the ideals we enjoy are from the foundation of Jesus Christ. Pastor Allen Jackson shares this historically packed message and invites us back to humility. As the Church of Jesus Christ, we must come humbly before the Lord to see the change we seek in the world.

For the United States of America, our heritage is rich with the ideals and beliefs of the Christian faith; yet we tarnish and forget the very scriptures that are carved in revered buildings within our own communities. Pastor Allen Jackson dives into a great discussion of our history as a Nation and invites us to see the foundation of our society. That we should not be afraid to look back in our history for its short comings, but to lean into the idea that a Judeo-Christian worldview constructed this great nation and will deliver us out of a time of great uncertainty.

We have an opportunity to respond to what is going on in the world today, and it starts with a prayer. Turning our hearts in obedience and using the tools the Lord has given us is the gateway to seeing mountains move. Pastor Allen Jackson opens the discussion of obedience and our supernatural intercession with the Lord. Our prayers are not simple words – they are battle that rage in the spiritual realm for the hearts of God's people. We have a role to play.

In order to fully be freed from a problem, we must first recognize there is an issue and from where our help truly comes. We can find places or things that may help in aiding the problem of sin, but we will not be fully delivered apart from the Power of God. Pastor Allen Jackson unpacks this idea with us to see the very root of our sinful nature is carnal, but we have the tools and a Heavenly Father who will guide us to living clean lives.

We are living in a world that is filled with expressions of sin. Even within our own nature, we are wired as rebels and creatures of sin - but there is hope for our salvation. With the redemption and passion that Jesus played out for us cross, along with our own personal cooperation with our Heavenly Father – we can live clean lives. Pastor Allen Jackson shares this idea and invites us to a place of humility to repents and begin living clean lives.

We're going to have to change the way we think about the spiritual forces at work around us, Pastor Allen Jackson says. We've acted as if ignoring them would remove us from their influence. But that is a naïve and unhelpful response, because Satan rules a kingdom that flourishes in the midst of deception, lies, and partial truths. Jesus won the battle on the cross, and the victory is ours; but Satan has not been banished from this realm yet, so we're still on assignment to be salt and light in the midst of the conflict with the unseen forces of evil. Ours should not be a passive response of hiding in our homes and church buildings; we are called to actively and intentionally engage and resist the evil in our world. When we stand firm in our faith and make a difference for God's Kingdom, we are declaring the victory that is ours through the redemptive work of Jesus.

The two primary characteristics of the people of God are that they listen and obey. It's not enough just to listen, or even to recognize that God has said something; we must obey. We are in desperate need of listening to God and perceiving what He is doing, Pastor Allen Jackson says, and that is more about the attributes of our hearts than it is about our physical ability to hear. It is possible, he says, to be the people of God, and engaged in all kinds of religious activity, yet still be oblivious to what God is saying and doing. How does a person become a spiritual listener? First, we must put off the old self. Next, we must be made new in the attitudes of our heart and mind. Finally, we have to intentionally put on a new self. When we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us, our hearts will remain tender toward the Lord and we will recognize what He is doing and will be able to participate in His purposes in the earth.

Unlike Peter the unschooled fisherman, Paul was well educated, sophisticated, and an emerging leader among his people. These sound like compliments, Pastor Allen Jackson says, but until Paul met Jesus, the force of his intellect and personality was used to persecute anyone who would call on the name of Jesus or even suggest that He could be the Messiah. Like Paul, our greatest strengths have the potential to be our greatest weaknesses if we are not yielded to the lordship of Jesus. But when we do come before Him in humility, and repent and lay our lives at the foot of the cross, we are released from our bondage to sin and transformed into people who are fit for joyful service in God's Kingdom. Finally, Pastor Jackson describes the signs that we are experiencing a spiritual struggle for the heart and soul of our nation that is far more serious than a virus. This enemy will not be overcome by the scientists or politicians, he says, but only by the redemptive work of Jesus of Nazareth.

As we follow Paul during his travels and ministry in the book of Acts, he faced beating, stoning, and assassination plots even as people were believing the Jesus-message by the thousands and the Church was growing in extraordinary ways. What did Paul say that caused the people to be so angry that they were willing to see him publicly executed? His message was simple and unambiguous: Every human being is a prisoner of sin. But if you will believe in Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah and serve Him as Lord, you are a child of God and an heir to all that He has promised. Pastor Allen Jackson leads us through the bullet points of Paul's consistent message and reminds us of the privileges we receive and the responsibilities we bear when we choose to follow Jesus. "I believe with all my heart that we are in a struggle for the heart and soul of our nation," he says. "And the Church has an essential role to play, more essential than it has ever been in my lifetime."

As the book of Luke closes and the book of Acts begins, remarkable, miraculous things were happening in Jerusalem. Even as the gospel was being proclaimed and the Church was growing by thousands of people, Jesus' followers were faced with internal struggles and persecution from within their own Jewish community. Pastor Allen Jackson tells us that Luke recorded all of these events—the triumphs as well as the challenges—so that we will be prepared to face similar things in our lives. He says that moving forward we should be prepared for change in order to meet new opportunities, be ready to participate in a great move of the Holy Spirit, be ready to stand for the truth without hesitation, and be eager to tell the Jesus-story at every opportunity.

The holidays of Passover and Pentecost are at the center of this lesson. As the book of Luke ends, the frailty of humanity is on display. Jesus' disciples are bickering over petty things during their last meal with their Lord, even as He is blessing them for their steadfastness and describing the new covenant that His death and resurrection will usher in. As the book of Acts opens, Jesus tells His disciples that they will receive power as they are filled with the Holy Spirit and then goes back to heaven. We witness a new kind of harvest beginning as the Spirit of God is poured out not only on the Jewish people but their Gentile neighbors as well. Pastor Allen Jackson tells us that the harvest time that began in Acts is continuing today. He then urges us to cooperate with the Holy Spirit more than we ever have and focus on speaking God's truth in the public square and advocating for Jesus at every opportunity.

Luke's training as a physician allowed him to observe and report with a different perspective than any other biblical writer. His account of the angel telling Mary, "Nothing is impossible with God," is the theme of his writing and the reason he oriented his life around understanding God and having a relationship with Jesus. Pastor Allen Jackson challenges us to explore our own beliefs about the relationship of science and faith. "I believe that faith and belief are every bit as precise as science because the God in whom I believe is the one who brought order to my physical person and the world in which I live. When faith and science seem to collide, it means we are at the edge of what we understand, and we're about to learn again."

Luke writes to help us understand Jesus and His Father—their characteristics, their words, and their priorities. Luke wants us to know what causes their presence in our lives to increase and decrease. This is vital information for a Jesus-follower so that we can live in a way that is pleasing to Him and accomplish the purposes for which we have been created. Luke teaches us that God is kind and merciful, He bestows His power upon us so that we can complete His assignments, and He wants us to live today with our eyes focused on eternity. Pastor Allen Jackson closes with a reminder that we should learn to listen with not only our ears, but our hearts, because that is where we will hear the things of God.

As Peter writes his second letter, he is an old man with the shadow of death hanging over him. He has spent decades serving the Lord, traveling and telling his Jesus-story. Peter has been an eyewitness to the life and ministry of Jesus, and he wants to share what he has learned about his Lord and life in His Kingdom. He begins by coaching us on the skills we will need in order to live in such a way that honors Jesus. Then he warns us about the marks of the false church and gives us a window into what will happen before Jesus returns. Finally, he cautions us to be on guard against error and encourages us to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Ezra is a priest, and what commends him to us is his devotion to the things of God. It was more than a casual thing; it defined his life. Because of that the hand of God was on him, and Ezra was allowed to lead the exiled Hebrews back to Jerusalem. Even though they faced opposition from the neighboring peoples, they understood that God had done something on their behalf and were determined to honor Him. "Let's take Ezra's lead and devote ourselves to the Lord in a new way," Pastor Allen Jackson says. "Let's give God a greater place in our lives. Let's honor God in the season ahead in ways we've never honored Him before."

God has given us a free will; it's a fundamental tenet of Scripture. He won't force us to worship Him, or serve Him, or be generous toward Him—we get to choose those things. But make no mistake: "God will be honored in the earth," Pastor Allen Jackson says. "You need to remember that when there are belligerent expressions of antagonism, when there are those who oppose the purposes of God, when they deny His existence and try to thwart those who would be advocates for Him." While hearing about some of the ways God led His people in the book of Exodus, we see that He is a God who wants to deliver us, a God who wants to have our trust, and a God who wants to have a relationship with us.
