In Spirit & Truth

Why do we have to go through so much suffering? Pastor JD will be teaching the “why” behind these prophecy updates. You'll learn the most powerful effect that Bible prophecies have: the blessed hope – our only hope. Going through hardships helps us fall out of love with this world and enter the Kingdom of God. God is preparing a place for you, and He's coming soon – that's our hope!

Job was in pretty dire straits. If you imagine yourself in the worst scenario possible, that’s where he’s at. He’s experienced loss that very few of us can fathom. Yet, as Pastor JD continues to study this extremely unfortunate man, let yourself be encouraged and inspired by his loyalty and reverence for God in the face of his hardship.

Pastor JD reminds us that God is always good. This is the one thing we can rest assured in for it is absolute truth. Throughout our lives we will see evils. Some of them may be bad enough that they cause us to question “where was God”? When these times arise be sure to know Jesus well enough to know that He is good and He will redeem all things.

Job's friends believed that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. Pastor JD explains to us that when they saw Job suffering they could not believe he was being put through such pain for no reason. Surely he had deserved it all somehow. Today we are taught why they were wrong to think this way .

This may be a hard thing for us to grasp, but the reality is we will see bad people succeed. Pastor JD tells us that when we see this it's important that we not question God's integrity. We must remember that God is always good. Though the evil may prosper here they will someday have to answer to God for the things they have done.

The ABC's of the Gospel have become a REAL staple of the Mid-East Prophecy Updates. Why? Because Pastor JD truly BELIEVES what he's teaching...he believes that the return of Christ is right around the corner. We need to follow his lead and begin sharing the Gospel even more than we are now. We want to see as many people as possible join us in the rapture.

So much of our world is in turmoil. And yet, things here in the United States seem to be going very well. The economy has picked up, the overall picture of the future looks good, there is a lot to be thankful for. Perhaps things are eerily TOO good? Pastor JD will remind us that just before the return of Christ, things will be...well, just as they are right now.

Despite all the hardships God allowed him to go through, Job still wanted nothing more than to restore his relationship with Him. Pastor JD tells us that this should be our goal. To long for God, even if we are in the worst of situations. When we consider Jesus to be the center of our lives we will be able to make it through the most difficult of times.

Jobs friends refused to consider the error in their theology. As a result they became prideful and harsh towards Job. Pastor JD challenges us to consider how we treat others in the church. Are we looking for others to fail so that we might prove how good we are, or are we humbly placing ourselves in others shoes so that we might know their pain?

When adversity strikes, you HAVE to depend on the Lord. But when life in this world seems too good, you don't look forward to life in Heaven as much. Pastor JD will teach that some spiritual places are only reached when you go through a trial. The challenges of this world plants inside of you compassion for others who are suffering and it gives you the urgency to share the hope that is only found in Christ.

Even after logical discussion, Jobs friends were unwilling to consider that their religious rational could be wrong. They continued to claim that Job was being punished because of something he had done. Pastor JD teaches us how dangerous it is for us to become locked on religious doctrine. We must remember to seek Jesus and not legalism.

We must be certain that the things which we do and say are done so with a heart of love. Pastor JD reminds us today that it's possible to speak a truth with the wrong heart. It's when this happens that people often get hurt. To be more like Christ, we must learn to differentiate between speaking prideful and loving truths.

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.
