In Spirit & Truth

The certainty of being fully satisfied in Christ is attractive. But more than that, it's a reality for followers of Christ! In today's teaching with Pastor JD, we'll hear where this is written in scripture and how we can trust it. It'll give peace and hope for the days ahead, knowing more about the kingdom of our Lord.

As hard as it probably is to imagine, it's actually EASY to desire a world with no sin. Sounds like a fairy tale? Well, it's true! And it's a reality that is coming, as we'll learn in today's teaching with Pastor JD. Lean in and get a preview of God's plan to bind the works of evil and how that plays out in scripture's prophecy.

When we think of “evil,” we typically think of movies or stories, but the reality is, there’s nothing more evil than the devil and his demons. Pastor JD reminds us today that, Satan has an agenda, and it’s been in development for a very long time. Be careful who you believe or look up to: not everyone is trustworthy.

No one likes to be deceived; it makes us feel foolish or naïve, and nobody appreciates that. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, more of us than not, have been deceived and continue to be deceived by the devil and his demons. They will stop at nothing to avert and distract us from the big picture, which is Christ Himself.

The older we get, the harder it gets to maintain friendships; we run short of time or energy and relationships seem to fall by the wayside. Today, however, Pastor JD reminds us that God doesn’t let you give up that easily. When He’s made a promise, He sticks to it; He’s not about to let you drift through life with His influence.

There’s a saying that goes, “you never know what you have until it’s gone.” In the same way, we often don’t know what we need until we experience it. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that Jesus can give us absolutely everything we require, and then some. If you doubt it, then it only means you haven’t experienced it for yourself.

When things are going smoothly, we’re not always willing to hear what should be different; we get comfortable and content to stay where we are. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, it’s when we’re on edge that we start paying attention. Sometimes it takes a trial in order for someone to pay heed to what God’s trying to say.

We often think that, if we’re going through storms in our life, we must’ve screwed up somewhere along the way. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that the trials in our life, are often the will of God for our life. Sometimes we have to go through tough times in order to grow and learn and appreciate what we have.

No one likes to be deceived; it makes us feel foolish or naïve, and nobody appreciates that. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, more of us than not, have been deceived and continue to be deceived by the devil and his demons. They will stop at nothing to avert and distract us from the big picture, which is Christ Himself.

The older we get, the harder it gets to maintain friendships; we run short of time or energy and relationships seem to fall by the wayside. Today, however, Pastor JD reminds us that God doesn’t let you give up that easily. When He’s made a promise, He sticks to it; He’s not about to let you drift through life with His influence.

While things have been looking bleak as of late – and only seem to be getting worse, according to prophecy – Pastor JD reminds us today, how God can work anything for the good. Even when something is meant for evil, God can use it for His glory. How comforting it is to know we serve a God to whom nothing is impossible.

We all know what happiness feels like, but what about joy? Joy is a pure emotion that is almost impossible to feel without a reason. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that we find our joy in the Lord. And the devil despises it! He will try everything to strip you of that joy because he knows it’s where your strength comes from.

It’s possible to walk with God and not please Him. Just like how you can have a marriage that’s unhealthy and toxic. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that our salvation is certain, but the blessings of God are contingent upon our trust in Him. If you don’t put your faith in Him, then why would He bestow blessings upon you?

Do you ever feel like you’re on God’s bad side? Sure, you’re saved, but He doesn’t seem to be in your corner. Well today, Pastor JD reminds us that, while salvation is certain, the blessings of God are conditional. If you want to walk with Christ, then trust is necessary; if there’s no trust, then you can kiss His blessings goodbye.

We’ve been in The Last Days for a while now, and things only keep spiraling. Today, Pastor JD reminds us how things have been planned and organized for quite some time now, and we – as Christians – need to be on the lookout. So many false and demonic doctrines try to worm their way into your life, and you must be mindful.

Everyone feels more comfortable when they’re in control. But what if everything that’s happened in the last five years was controlled by someone else? Today, Pastor JD reminds us how we’re all part of a plan. No matter how bad things get, God is in control. While satan does his best to distract you, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

We don’t often think of the Bible as being scientific, but today, Pastor JD reminds us of Noah in his time. Noah wasn’t chosen to build the ark because he was a righteous man, he was chosen because his genetics as a human was still in place. Neither he nor his family had been corrupted – like so many others – by the angels.

We have control over many things in our life, but certainly not everything. Pastor JD reminds us today that, one thing you do have control of is your salvation. Because it’s by your faith that you’re saved; your works have nothing to do with it. If you have faith and trust in God, then His grace will cover you until the end.

When you’re learning a new skill, how exciting is it when you get to a level that’s beyond beginner? When you learn the ins and outs of a trade, it becomes that much more intensive. Pastor JD reminds us today that our walk with the Lord is the same; when you really get to know Christ, you get into the hardier meat of the Bible.

Anyone who’s been in a healthy relationship knows that it remains healthy because there are choices to be made every day. If you become apathetic, you’ll become uninterested. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that our relationship with Christ works the same way. If you become passive, the things of God will pass right by.

Have you ever been hated for the friends you keep? We tend to judge people based on the people they keep around them. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that that’s why the world will always have a problem with Christians… because we’re friends with Jesus! But He’s a better friend than any this world could offer.

Have you ever gotten too attached to something? It’s not always healthy to put your roots down deep. God created this beautiful world for us to enjoy, but today, Pastor JD reminds us how it’s not our final home. If you love this world too much, then you love the creation more than the Creator, and you’ll miss out on all He has to offer.

Sometimes we don’t always choose our battles very well; we get caught up in little fights. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, our fight isn’t of this world – it isn’t against any other human– but against principalities and powers of darkness. When you compare our battles with wars of ANOTHER REALM… it puts things into perspective.

There are a lot of people who refuse to ask for help, even when it’s needed. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, when something is impossible for us to accomplish on our own, we can always ask God for help. In fact, if the task is impossible for you, He’ll be that much more likely to deliver, because He desires and deserves all the credit.

When we feel less than confident, we find it hard to ask for help. It puts us in a vulnerable position when we admit we can’t do things alone. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that we can ask God for anything, anytime. In fact, the bigger you ask, the more likely He’ll answer because that means the task is impossible without Him.
