In Spirit & Truth

The United States pulling out of Syria is an astounding turn of events! Is this the precursor to President Donald Trump's “big deal”? We know he has a strong desire to be THE president who brokered peace in the middle east. That said, we also know that peace in the middle east will NEVER happen...that is, until Jesus returns and brings peace.

Once again, Pastor JD paints an amazing picture of what appears to be more and more evidence building up to the fact that we are in the very last days. The advancements by Russia and the removal of the United States from Syria are both indicators of a possible peace treaty that could be presented to Israel.

Pastor JD reminds us of the power of our tongues. The unkind things that we say about others, has the power to gestate into horrid things. It destroy relationships, families, and even churches. Be careful with the things that you say. Train yourself to speak only words of blessing, wisdom, and truth. Ask Jesus to guide you in your words.

Jobs friends insisted that his failure to admit his sin was why God punished him. Pastor JD teaches us that Job responded by asking them why he would continue suffering if admitting his sin was all that was needed to end it. Jobs friends looked to God as one who punished the bad, but not the good. We learn today, the dangers of such thinking.


 We mustn't allow pride to enter our hearts. Even if we are the best follower of Christ we must be certain that our accomplishments are given to Him. Pastor JD warns us that pride in ourselves will ultimately lead towards cruelty towards others, and a disregard for Jesus's grace. Approach all successes with a heart of humility and thanksgiving.

Despite the horrible things which God allowed Job to go through, Job remained consistent in only longing for he and God to be on good terms. His greatest concern was that he had somehow lost God's love. Pastor JD teaches us that this is what we should all aspire towards. A deep longing to please our God, and make Him proud.

Per the norm, Pastor JD closes this prophecy update with the A, B, C's of the Gospel. This simple presentation of the Gospel is being used by thousands to lead people to Christ. Perhaps you're listening and you haven't made that decision yet. Today is the day...stay with us...keep listening...there's an appointment for you to meet Jesus, TODAY.

Today Pastor JD continues to talk about President Trump's recent decision to quickly remove American troops from Syria. The potential ramifications of this decision are of unparalleled importance. It's amazing to think that some of the decisions that are happening right now seem to be pointing to last days scenarios that we read about in the Bible.

Jobs friends had an incorrect theology that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. Pastor JD tells us that because of their incorrect theology they were incapable to show grace to Job. They had to believe that he had done something wrong, or accept that they too could receive hardship without reason.

We are to trust God period! Pastor JD challenges us to trust God through all situations. There will be times when we cannot understand what God is doing, but nonetheless we are to have faith in Him. As you come to new trials, or look back to trials of the past, know that God has a plan for you and that He is guiding you to it.

It's important for us to understand that we will never be able to grasp the ways of God. He functions on a timeline we cannot realize with a strategy which we will never be able to fathom. Pastor JD tells us that God will allow things to happen to us that we will never understand. We must make peace that it is not our job to. We are to simply trust in Him.

All people, whether they're good or bad, will experience good things. When they do it is a gift from God. Pastor JD teaches us that God does not exclusively bless good deeds with good blessings. In fact we may find, that like Job, if we are faithful to God we will earn ourself a harsh trial which will not feel like a good thing at all.

President Trump's recent decision to QUICKLY to remove all of our troops from Syria is a truly AMAZING turn of events! Could it be that this is the first phase in the “Big Deal” that Trump has been talking about? We know that peace in the middle east is our president's greatest goal. That said, we know that this is not going to happen...peace in the middle east will only come when Jesus returns.

Job was wrong in thinking that God could possibly allow bad things to happen to him as a punishment for his past. In fact, the suffering he went through was because God knew he was strong enough to go through it. Pastor JD explains to us the great need to grasp this lesson. We must take to heart that God's ways are always for the overall best.

We must understand that fellow Christians can come under the oppression of the enemy. As such, when we are in our hardships we must test the words of our fellow Christians advice with God's Word. Pastor JD reminds us that regularly speaking with Jesus and being in His Word is how we can know if others are speaking truth to us.

When we are in times of trial we must have faith that God has a reason for it. He cannot make His reason apparent to us, for if He does we will likely miss out on the actual lesson He intends. Pastor JD assures us that God is with us in all trials and that God allows our trials for a reason. We must have faith that the hardships we endure are for the best.

Jobs friends said his suffering was due to secret sins. They believed God would only punish someone so drastically if they truly deserved it. Pastor JD helps us understand the importance of not presuming to know Gods intentions. God chose Job because He was confident in Jobs ability to remain faithful. His friends were wrong to claim otherwise.

Jobs friends came to him with false perceptions of God. They tried to blame Jobs suffering on potential sins of his past, claiming that bad things can't happen to Godly people. Pastor JD warns us of the dangers in thinking this way. God will allow trials and hardship in our lives, and when He does it's often so that we might grow stronger in Him.

No matter how well we follow Christian regulations it is crucial that our relationship with Christ remain first. Pastor JD helps us realize, that as we grow in our faith we will come across situations which will force us to reassess understandings we mistook as truths. Allow your relationship with Christ to be that which you build all else around.

If we find ourselves in a point of despair God will not hold it against us. In fact some of the challenges which He will allow throughout our lives, He will allow knowing their outcome will result in despair. Pastor JD teaches us though, that we are expected to continue in our faith despite it. We are to use despair as means to build our faith more.

For Job everything went extremely bad extremely quick. His joyous and peaceful life instantly turned into great suffering, yet he did not lose hope in God. Pastor JD encourages us to keep our eyes on the Lord even in the worst of times. With Jesus we can get through anything and will ultimately find the most holy of ending. An eternity with Him.
