When things turn into a mess, it’s easy to blame everyone but yourself.

If you maintain a mindset of pride, whatever follows after will only be destructive.

If you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, Pastor JD encourages you today, to move everyone, everyday a little closer to God. Don’t be the weak link in the chain on someone’s road to discovery. If you have even a tiny window of an opening to share Jesus with someone, take it. Their future eternity depends on it.

In today’s update, Pastor JD reminds you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, who loves you. All people were made to worship. If you don’t worship God, you’ll worship other things that will never satisfy your longing. Turn away from the things you’re worshipping and turn toward your maker, God.

Have you ever gotten so caught up in speaking that you said something you didn’t mean? Maybe it wasn’t unkind but still, you couldn’t control your tongue.

Are you one of those people who needs to make sure everyone knows you’re right? God’s not like that. Pastor JD talks to us today about how God won’t force you to do anything. If it’s your desire to be sinful, it’ll make Him sad but He won’t stop you. But if you want God to work in your life, you must be open to the change.

It can be hard to admit to your faults. Pastor JD reminds us today that, the ‘best you’ is not your goal but rather, ‘being like Jesus’ should be your objective. Be open to criticism when it’s given in love. Take heed of advice – don’t get angry about it – and do your best to continually grow and become more like Him.

Pastor JD’s Bible prophecy updates are getting more specific as the weeks pass and the second coming of Christ draws near. He is more certain than ever that Jesus’s return is imminent.

It’s said that Christians lose their lives to gain Christ. What does that mean? Today, Pastor JD explains that when you receive Christ as your Savior, this world is no longer the most important thing to you. You understand that no matter what happens, there is eternity awaiting. Have you made the decision to gain Christ?

Sometimes we get our priorities horribly mixed up. Some people believe that family pride is all that matters. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that pride for the sake of ourselves, is folly and it only leads to failure. If you want to be wise in your ways, humble yourself; follow Jesus and set your priorities in a way that He would.

Sometimes we think we’re so smart; we pray and pray and wonder why in the world God doesn’t answer them because they only make sense! But Pastor JD is here to remind us today that, we don’t know everything. God knows infinitely more than you and He won’t answer your prayer when He knows it’ll bring about destruction.

Do you ever restrain yourself in your prayers because you think you dream too big? Pastor JD reminds us today that there is nothing too big for God. He’s promised to answer every prayer, if it’s for your good and His glory. Cry out to Him for anything at all; He wants to bless you and show you how capable He is.

Have you ever loved someone unconditionally? You want the very best for them no matter what. Pastor JD reminds us today that that’s how God feels about us. He will allow you to go through trials – in order that you may grow – but He will never push you past your breaking point. He loves you too much to watch you fall.

Today, Pastor JD encourages you to do your own research regarding the information he teaches over. Don’t just take his word for it. He receives emails from online members with current articles for him to study. Each week JD puts his heart and soul into these updates for the sake of Christ and getting the truth out there.

Today, Pastor JD reiterates the words of the Apostle Paul regarding losing your life for the sake of Christ. If you love your life on this earth, you’re holding tight to something that can’t last. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you give up your life and put all your hope in Him. Where is your hope?

Feelings are often based entirely on circumstance. Today, Pastor JD encourages us to not follow our emotions so closely. If you have the Lord in your heart, it should be filled with joy. No matter your circumstances, no matter how you’re feeling, you should be able to act and respond in a way that gives God all the glory.

Have you ever said something you regretted, so you try to make up for it by being extra sweet? Pastor JD teaches us today, that the wicked will do their best to overcompensate for their evil deeds, but there’s nothing outside of God’s grace that can save us. Own up to your mistakes and humbly ask for forgiveness.

In today’s society, anxiety is an issue for almost everyone. Today, Pastor JD talks about how worry stresses our immune system as well as our spirituality. Don’t let the anxiety get to you; find comfort in knowing you are loved and protected by an all-powerful God who wants to spend the rest of eternity with you.

Many people find their happiness in earthly things that won’t last. Pastor JD talks to us today about how the Joy of the Lord is our strength. The devil – through people as well as in your mind – will try to lessen you and take your joy away. Don’t let him! That joy you find in Jesus is the strongest thing you’ll ever know.

Today’s prophecy update is focused on biotechnology, the Coronavirus, and the expected mandatory vaccinations which are currently being manufactured. Pastor JD explains why he’ll never get the vaccine, but also encourages you that he doesn’t think the vaccine is the mark of the beast. That is yet to come.

Today, Pastor JD explicitly reminds us that he doesn’t claim to know the exact date of Jesus’ return. However, his question for those who have yet to accept Christ as their Savior is, “Why not err on the side that Christ is coming soon?” Even if JD is wrong about its imminence, is it worth your future eternity to be wishy-washy?

People often think that if you’re walking with the Lord, every-thing in life is smooth. Pastor JD is here to remind us today that that’s not true. God uses trials in our life to help us to learn. So don’t be discouraged when storms come and leave a mess behind; you won’t grow until you’re removed from your comfort zone.

Many people think that being a Christian is merely following a bunch of rules. But Pastor JD reminds us today that God’s statutes weren’t set up just because, but rather to save us from ourselves. God knows your nature and how you’re prone to desire evil, He only wants to save His loved ones from the penalties of their actions.
