In Spirit & Truth

The coronavirus pandemic has upended our lives. So much of what we considered normal has changed, and we’re not sure when we’ll get it back again. In today’s Prophecy Update, Pastor JD will help us draw a Biblical perspective on this pandemic and the long lasting changes it could bring in our world.

It can often feel like satan is out to get you; but don’t think that you’re so special – he’s out to get everyone he can. Pastor JD reminds us today that satan only has power that God allows him to have. He allows you to be sifted by the devil because he knows that the outcome will be for your benefit, as well as for His glory.

Today, Pastor JD talks about the four loves we find in the bible, derivative from the Greek language. He reminds us that – as followers of Christ – we should set ourselves apart by the way we love others. Everyone in the world should observe you and they way you love, and know that your heart is striving after God’s.

It can be hard to love people; especially when they’re selfish and don’t care about you in return. Today, Pastor JD reminds us of the four types of love in the Greek. God doesn’t love, He IS love. When you’re laboring to love others, remember that He loved you first, even when you were selfish and didn’t care about Him in return.

Today, Pastor JD delves into what we – as Christians – need to be measuring ourselves against; Jesus’ perfect righteousness is meant to be our ultimate goal. Though it’s unattainable in this life, and satan will always be there to deceive and distract, you’re called to live selflessly, putting both God and others before your-self.

All of God's Word is applicable to our lives. Even though we understand that the old covenant does not apply to us today, there is still SO MUCH to glean from it. Today Pastor JD continues unpacking the prophetic nature of the Feast of Passover...this first Feast of the LORD.

The ancient Feasts of the LORD have all been fulfilled in Jesus. But, there is still future fulfillment that we will see. Today Pastor JD spends some time sharing with us the prophetic nature of the Feast of Passover. This Feast began with the death of a physical lamb and culminated with the death of the Lamb of God...Jesus.

Today, Pastor JD asks the question, what motivates us? The Apostle Paul was known for his selflessness as well as his brutal honesty and he made sure people didn’t think he was in the ministry for money or fame. He defended himself in order that his message could not be discredited and could yet be received.

Waiting around with nothing to do is even boring to think about. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, as Christians, we can’t simply wait around until Jesus comes back. You’re called to prepare for His return. There are plenty of people who still need to hear the gospel; anticipate His return by doing all you can to spread His love.

Today, Pastor JD discusses how faith is not an easy thing to maintain. There will always be storms in life and if you think your faith won’t be tested, you’re mistaken. But even though God has promised trials, He’s also promised to be with you through them. Faith weathers all storms because God is there to weather them with you.

Some people go through hard times and become bitter because of them. Pastor JD reminds us today that God allows us to go through trials and be broken down in order that our hearts might soften and become malleable in His hands. It’s out of love that He allows you to hurt, so that you can understand how deep His love is.

We don’t typically value broken things; it’s a visual represent-tation of who we are. Today, Pastor JD talks about how broken-ness is necessary in order for God to work in your life. If you don’t realize you have needs, how can you rejoice when they’re filled? God lovingly shows us our needs and then graciously fills them.

It’s far too easy to give up hope and think everything is going to come crashing down. Pastor JD reminds us today how our suffering is essential to our growth, but beyond that, it’s merely temporary. You might feel desperate, but be encouraged and know that God has overcome the world, and He has the final say.

Sometimes it seems like life can be needlessly cruel. But today, Pastor JD talks about how trials and suffering are essential to our character and growth. If all you know is good, then you never learn how to persevere, and if you know Jesus, then you know that this whole life is about pushing forward, enduring until the race is done.

When you elevate and esteem one believer over another, you miss the multitude of others serving God faithfully who may not be known by anyone but God. Today Pastor JD will remind you that everyone in the body of Christ is significant, every job done in the name of Jesus is important and every person is necessary for the Church to thrive.

Today Pastor JD will share where he thinks the COVID-19 Pandemic could be heading. Will the rapture take place during this time? What is our response to the virus? There are so many questions that Pastor JD addresses today. Please know, as always...Pastor JD WILL NOT set a date for the return of Jesus...he will only encourage us to KNOW the times we are in.

There’s a tendency, even in the body of Christ, to elevate and too highly esteem important people. They are viewed and treated as a superstar. However, as Pastor JD will point out today, Jesus is the star. Everyone else are servants. Don’t idolize fellow believers, and remember who alone is worthy of worship and praise – God!

Non-believers are watching you to see how you get through difficulties and darkness. Do people see hope and joy in you as you experience trouble? Today Pastor JD will encourage you to be ready to answer for the hope you have because of Jesus. Know the word of God and speak it to others in darkness to give joy, encouragement and peace.

Paul implores you, believer, to be wise in action and word toward non-believers. God has given you divine opportunities to share and demonstrate the love and mercy of God to others who don’t know it. Pastor JD will encourage you today to be faithful and take advantage of these opportunities because there may not be much time left.

There are times when your prayers are simply not being answered. It’s hard to see past your need or desire. However, as Pastor JD will explain today, God is infinite, wise and all-knowing. He sees past this moment that you are limited to and answers prayers according to His good plans for your ultimate good.

The big question that everyone is asking is this, “When will the curve of virus peak and eventually pass? When will things start getting back to normal.” Pastor JD asks a different question today...WILL things get back to normal and what will “normal” actually look like?
