In Spirit & Truth

We know that we can’t be happy in every single moment of our lives. Emotions are a part of being human, and the good wouldn’t feel so good without the bad. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, even though happiness is fleeting and circumstantial, that doesn’t mean we can’t have joy in the Lord, always.

In today’s message, Pastor JD shares that one of the final pieces to the end times puzzle is the plan Satan has put in place to eliminate the human race. And as you’ll hear, this plan is nothing new because Satan also tried this during the time of Noah until God brought the flood and saved mankind.

In today’s message, Pastor JD shares that from Noah’s flood to the three Jewish men thrown in the fiery furnace, you can see God’s prophetic hand at work. From the beginning of time, God has always had a plan for how the world would end and you are seeing it unfold before your eyes.

In today’s message Pastor JD reminds us that one of the reasons God shares the prophetic end of this world with us is so that, as a believer, you can know the ending and be comforted. Just like knowing the ending of a thrilling novel, you will know how everything turns out.

You may not see it on a daily basis, but the Lord is continually working in your life. Pastor JD reminds us in today’s message that, even though the work on the cross is completed, that doesn’t mean God is done working in our lives. He’s not just sitting around and waiting; He’s holding your life together.

Have you ever realized that when you debate or argue, you don’t actually change anyone’s mind? Both sides simply become more cemented in their own ideas. Pastor JD reminds us today that, instead of arguing, we need to remember Jesus. Our one mission in this life is to spread the Good News to anyone and everyone.

We often steer clear of the harsher parts of the Bible, because we don’t want to believe that God would ever resort to violence. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, when God resorts to violence, it’s because He’s done everything He could outside of brutality. But if there’s anyone you can trust with a sword, it’s Christ Jesus.

We’re seeing a lot of things today that are prophesied to take place during the tribulation. But don’t be fooled; it doesn’t mean we’re IN the tribulation, it just means it’s coming soon. Pastor JD reminds us today that, if we’re seeing things that are meant to take place during those 7 years, then the rapture of the church is very close, indeed.

Do you ever feel like you’re on the cusp of something big? There’s this anticipation that can leave us feeling antsy like we don’t know what to do. Pastor JD reminds us in today’s update that we’re getting closer to the rapture of the church every single day, and while that’s a little scary, it should be more exciting than anything.

We’re living in confusing times. But God is a God of peace, not chaos. The Holy Spirit brings us understanding, and today, Pastor JD reminds us how close we are to the Holy Spirit being removed from this world; if you think you live in confusing times now, just wait and see what happens without the Restrainer holding back evil.

Today, Pastor JD explains how Israel was so blinded by their sin that they thought they were holier than God. Are we that blind? It is possible to be that blind when we are wrapped up in our pride. We think we are right before God, but He sees us as we really are. Let's humble ourselves before The Most Holy God.

Wow indeed! In today's message, Pastor JD declares that religion is about what man does for God while Christianity is about what God did and is still doing for man. God has given us a way to return to Him. Some people reject God’s path and make their own path. God’s path is through Jesus, the only way to God.

Have you ever taken matters into your own hands? In today's message, Pastor JD shares how his impatience with God hurt him. Our impatience can thwart blessings that God has planned for us. Waiting on God is an essential lesson for us to learn. God's plan and timing are perfect. Let's align ourselves with His perfection.

We’ve probably all thought about how we could improve our bodies. Whether it’s changed aesthetically or in physical function, we could all come up with something we’d love to be different. Today though, Pastor JD reminds us why that’s a dangerous thought process. If you’re no longer human, you can’t claim salvation.

Many people glance over Revelation with no real understanding. They rationalize it by saying, ‘whatever happens will happen.’ But today, Pastor JD reminds us that we’re called to “look to the sky when we see these signs”. That doesn’t sound passive. Let’s get into the texts that we don’t understand, and look to God for answers.

We’ve all been deceived before. It’s not a good feeling! Especially when something big is on the line. Today, Pastor JD reminds us of the importance of not being deceived in these, the end of days. When the stakes are at their highest, you want to be astute. Don’t be fooled by the devil, even though he won’t give up on you.

Revelation is an intense book to wrap our minds around; many people don’t appreciate it because it’s so confusing. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that it’s the only book in the Bible that promises a blessing to those who read it. Don’t shy away from what you don’t understand; turn to God and ask Him your questions.

Older generations look at young people today and think, ‘they don’t know what they’re doing.’ But Pastor JD reminds us today that, life changes with each generation. We don’t do the things we did five years ago. With that constant change, we need to keep in mind the biggest picture; that Jesus is still coming back soon.

Does it ever feel like there’s no hope for us on earth? Well today, Pastor JD reminds us of the sobering fact that, there isn’t. But while earth won’t last forever, that doesn’t mean there’s no hope at all, it just means that the hope we do have, resides with Christ in Heaven. Don’t store up your treasures here, because they simply won’t last.

Do you struggle with the concept of faith? Well, fear not, because you are not alone. Faith goes against our very nature. In fact, Pastor JD reminds us today that fear and faith cannot coexist. So how do we move beyond our fear into a life of faith?.. by the Word of God; it’s only through Christ that we can have hope.

Do you shy away from God’s commands? They can be intimidating! Sometimes, they feel impossible. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, God’s commands are a blessing. Not only because we’re doing the Will of God, but because He strengthens us to do the things that we can’t accomplish on our own.

How often do you think about the people in the Bible being real people? We perceive them as knowing something that they didn’t. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that emotions – doubt, fear, shame – were as real for them as they are for us. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that they didn’t struggle the same as you and I.
