In Spirit & Truth

Our president, Donald Trump, has called peace in the Middle East his “BIG DEAL”. He's a real estate tycoon who has made millions on land transactions. Is it possible that he will reveal the very plan that the Bible speaks about? Friends, we know that the ONLY peace that will ever be seen in the Middle East will be when the LORD Jesus returns and rules and reigns in righteousness.

Do you often find yourself feeling anxious about the future? Today, Pastor JD draws our attention to scripture and highlights God’s continual provision for us. He cites biblical examples of birds and flowers that do not worry about their needs. As beings created in God’s image, we can trust that God cares for us even more.

Are you living as an effective and productive Christian? Today, Pastor JD outlines the progressive journey of spiritual maturity for believers. By practicing the qualities identified as the fruits of the Spirit, we grow in grace and knowledge of Christ, becoming more like Him through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

God intends for us to mature as believers. Although many of us are called to teach and make disciples, our spiritual growth is often hindered. Today, Pastor JD urges us to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit rather than remain immature in our faith. Through the Holy Spirit, God has provided all we need to become more like Him.

President Donald Trump continues to stun the world with his leadership. From strong actions on border security to standing up to the press, there really hasn't been anything that he's backed down from. Today, Pastor JD will share with us the strong similarities between President Donald Trump and the character in the Bible known as Cirrus.

Is it possible that Isaiah chapter seventeen and Ezekiel chapter thirty-eight are speaking of the same prophetic event? Today, Pastor JD explores this possibility. The most important fact that we MUST keep in mind is that we have a current president whose top goal is to bring peace to the Middle East. He sees this as his “greatest deal”.

For many of you, the Mid East Prophecy Update is a staple of your weekly discipleship. We are so very thankful for everyone who listens to and watches these prophecy updates. Today, Pastor JD will do a sort of review dating back to 2006 when this ministry first started. It's amazing to see JUST HOW MUCH has developed over the years...even so, come quickly, LORD Jesus!

It is profoundly tragic to consider the possibility of hearing God declare, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” Today, Pastor JD emphasizes that neither religious observance nor the accumulation of good works grants entry into heaven. Rather, the sole requirement is spiritual rebirth to a personal relationship with Jesus.

Who is the first person you call up when you’re sad or lonely? What if it’s 2 am? Luckily, there’s someone you can talk to at all times of the day, and that’s JESUS! In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you of your personal relationship with Christ. As well as the importance of making Him your God before your Savior.

As humans, we can sometimes think that we can do everything on our own. But when has that ever been successfully true? In today’s message, Pastor JD talks about how you can’t do anything without the Holy Spirit; you always need to lean on the Holy Spirit to accomplish everything you struggle with.

As you well know, the land of Israel has long been a hotly contested part of the world. In fact, it is the single MOST hotly contested piece of land in ALL of the world! Today, Pastor JD begins sharing with us the amazing development in the last several weeks. Our president recently announced that the world should recognize that Israel has authority over the Golan Heights.

Your time here on earth may not be long. The events of recent days and the overwhelming heaviness of discord around the world are bringing you closer to the end. But, as Pastor JD will remind you today, you have another home waiting for you! When the time comes when Jesus says “ENOUGH!”, you get to be with Him forever in Heaven!

With everything happening in Israel and around the globe, it's easy to become discouraged. Pastor JD understands and today wants to remind you of the peace that comes with a hope of Salvation! Don't let the heaviness of events weigh you down! You're learning from God's Word exactly what will take place, and it's bringing you one step closer to eternity with Jesus!

As humans, we can sometimes think that we can do everything on our own. But when has that ever been successfully true? In today’s message, Pastor JD talks about how you can’t do anything without the Holy Spirit; you always need to lean on the Holy Spirit to accomplish everything you struggle with.

Just give up! I know you hear this, and you think, “What?!” Surrender, give up control, let go of what you can't fix, what you can't change. Experience the beauty in true grace, and watch as your life comes together in ways you couldn't imagine. Surviving the unsurvivable. Today, Pastor JD reminds you to take hold of trusting God.

Hard times come, and sometimes leave us feeling lost and broken. But there’s so much glory to look forward to, helping the most debilitating times feel insignificant. Utilize what you know to get through difficult circumstances. Listen today, as Pastor JD reminds you to keep your eyes on the Lord.

The world offers many sources of so-called hope. People ascribe to self-help thinking and positive affirmation. Pastor JD will remind us that our only TRUE hope is in the return of Jesus Christ. Why? Because when Jesus returns, He will bring with him a rule of righteousness that will end all of the darkness that we see in this world.

The most recent developments regarding the protection of babies who have actually been BIRTHED is absolutely astounding! Where have we come to as a society that we are not willing to protect breathing, living babies that have survived the wicked abortion process!?!?!? Truly friends, we are in the last days. May God be merciful while we await His return.

Pastor JD will spend time today on the impending elections in Israel, the controversy surrounding their current prime minister, and the current political uproar in the United States. The chaos in the world may seem out of control, but one thing remains certain – God is NOT surprised! He knows exactly what's going on, and the future is still under His control!

When you’re in the marsh, and things are weighing on you. When you become overwhelmed with emotions, and you’re clawing and scratching to find your way out. Who is your advocate in these moments? Is there someone who can give a different perspective? Join us today, as Pastor JD explains the importance of encouragement.

Are you feeling alone and isolated? You don’t have to be. When you belong to Christ, you are part of His body, His church. Pastor JD instructs us that when a local body is assembled, it is like a living organism, a community of believers, where you can find friendship and fellowship and strength and safety.

Anxiety and worry rob us of our peace and joy and can isolate us from our fellow Christians and even from our Lord. But we don’t have to bear it alone. In fact, we can’t, and God doesn’t want us to. Peter tells us to “cast our cares upon the Lord, because he cares for you.” Today, Pastor JD exhorts you to do just that.

The news that inundates your life today is frequently violent, angry, or downright depressing! Your world is dark, and getting darker by the moment. Today, though, Pastor JD wants to pierce that darkness with some light – the light of truth! God's Word is refreshing in these end days, giving you hope to hold on to and promises that you know will be fulfilled!

Though it might seem odd, the Bible actually says that as the last days are approaching, more and more people will begin to mock and scoff at the return of Jesus. The more people mock and scoff, the closer we are. If you're paying any attention at all these days, people are mocking the idea of the rapture and the return of Jesus regularly.

Though we've discussed this a few times before here on the Mid East Prophecy Update...our president's determination to bring peace to the Middle East is astounding! There is more and more discussion about how peace can be accomplished. These sorts of events point us more and more to the soon return of Jesus Christ.
