Expositional teaching through the Bible at Calvary Chapel in Kaneohe Hawaii with pastor JD Farag. -- Those wishing to give to Calvary Chapel Kaneohe, please visit calvarychapelkaneohe.com/donate/
Thank you Pastor JD Love all your sermons, teachings and prophecy updates!!! Psalms 23 is one of my favorite Psalms, yes I have memorized it and I pray it almost every day. God bless you and your family and church always in Jesus Name Amen .
Two times (maybe three) during a period of extreme stress or even depression, suddenly and without warning a "warm" feeling came over me, like a warmed blanket you get in the hospital sometimes. I was instantly relived of my stress and the reminder of our hope in Christ was forfront in my mind. I knew instantly this was The Holy Spirit. A truly wonderful experience!
JD I forgot to mention this upon my first viewing of this teaching on Psalm 23. In 1971, the very first time we attended Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, Chuck Smith on Sunday morning, taught on the 23rd Psalm. We had to sit in the foyer. But we brought my parents and the long hair, short hair, suits a ties, hippies and straights were all together and this Psalm took on a whole greater meaning and has never been erased from my memory. God is such a good, good Father and a caring Shepard.
I am in my car about 2 hours a day delvering to and picking up my grands from school. Your teachings on the Psalms are such a blessing, and thank you so much. There's only one thing, I keep thinking and saying can't not quiet a bit, but I'm ok with that! I get it. Next up:24, and there's so much to look forward to.
Awesome teaching! DIRECTLY from "The Word"! If I lived in Hawaii, I would SO attend this gathering of Christians! But, I guess, in reality, I am attending - virtually or digitally. My prayers for this ministry. May it reach the hardest of hearts, the most evil influenced of souls. In Jesus' name, Amen!
This study on Psalm 23 is the most beautiful encouraging study I have ever listened to, I am so blessed by this teaching. Thank you Paster JD for another anointed teaching from the Lord ❤️
Horses4life1001 The enemy is attacking me hard. I've been drowning in a bottle, I'm trying to find a way out. Thank you for your prayer, I'll pray for your needs too.
Jeremiah K ,thank you brother . If you would just share what part of your life the enemy is attacking(health, family, faith...) i would provide you with some great promises from Yeshua and we would stand oh His word ,and keep Him by His Word to fix it for you,because this is His will for you, He suffered for you and cried out " IT IS FINISHED" and HE DESERVES this to manifest in yur life .He is FAITHFUL and TRUE .
Horses4life1001 All-out attack. I can't get into it all. My business was destroyed, my house was destroyed, my reputation, but that's the least of my worries. Last year I shot at someone breaking into my house. I was jailed for 3 months for attempted murder and reckless endangerment. I was facing 20 years and no less than 4 if convicted. By His grace, the charges were dropped. Satan still won't let up. Even if I escape to a bar, I can't stop talking about Jesus. It makes for some awkward moments for some, but I can't shut it off. I guess that's part of the reason why I'm getting attacked like this. I appreciate your prayers very much.
Amanda! My sweet sisters name is Amanda! I would love to pray for you! Lord Jesus please look down on Amanda. You know her needs, her fears and her heart. You alone my Lord can help her and fill her with your unfailing love. Hold her close dear Lord Jesus! I pray this in Jesus name! Amanda, I dont know your situation but Jesus loves you so so much! We are all family and I believe soon we will see Jesus. If you ever need to talk then please know I would love to talk with you.
Prayers really do matter so much JD as we can see in how God is using you and the ministry there. But we are all getting heavy spiritual warfare because God is working in and through us and our Lord's return for us is close. Thank you for being so faithful in sharing His Word to us all. Maranatha JD, in Jesus Name, Amen
Thank you for adding captions, I am deaf and captions is very important. Thank you so much, there's not enough thanks to show my appreciation nor is there enough thanks to show my love for Christ who died for my sins. God gave so much, there's never enough thanks that can out-top or out-done what God already has done for us.
Please pray for my wife, she comes to church, has done an alpha course, but still hasn't given her life to the lord, and time is short, I don't want her to be left behind. Pray our heavenly Father opens her eyes and heart
God bless you again Pastor JD. When I saw tonight you were doing Psalm 23, I wondered if you knew Phillip Keller's work on it. And you not only quoted from it, you recommended it to others. I have a copy myself. I bought and read it after my husband went to be with the Lord. I found this book very comforting. Psalm 23 was the first large passage I rememorized as a 9 yr. Old. Thank you for your wonderful passion for God's Word. You blessed me.
Excellent. I like to liken Gods word as fresh, new and alive. It's like picking a ripe mango from the tree. Its fresh, tasty, good, satisfying. That's how God's word is every time we read it.
We will see Him face to face! Trust and Obey our Shepherd! Please lay hands on yourselves and pray Gods divine protection over yourselves. I am praying for all here who requested prayer Jeremy’s and Amanda specifically! These are two I have seen here asking for prayer. We are family! Father in Heaven, See deep inside us all here and forgive us the things that keep us from you and what you have for us! Give us the Hope of your salvation and assurance that You are the Most High! Thank you for all you give to us and keep our hearts from turning to stone. Give us from your living water. Put your angels around each person under attack and lead us to our next and every step. Open eyes and ears to your Voice alone. Shut the mouth of the enemy in our ears and give us peace in the midst of the storm. Allow us to finish this race not alone but because of your grace. In Jesus precious name I pray Amen Brothers and Sister a race run alone is just a race but with God running with us it becomes Grace! Trust and believe we run it together and with our Father and at the end or the finish line we will see our reward even if we crawl into the finish line. I hope this helps someone. I know the attacks well. The enemy knows his time is short and he is biting. Armor on and Jesus is our shield! Call out to Him and search hard after Him. If you do this you will make it! Hope to see you all very very soon! Looking up! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have been "witnessing" on RUclips sites recommending pastor Farag and others (Charles Lawson, Ken Ham, Kent Hovind). Possibly it's the athiests that I have come in contact with. At least I won't be held accountable for not telling them about Jesus.📖✝️
I love that book. Really gives you insight from a Sheperd's point of view like the title states. Such a comforting message. Thank you LORD for always caring for us.
Please pray for me, my health isn't good and I pray for my doctor that He guides her hands to find answers to what ails me when I go to my appointment next week Tuesday afternoon. Thank you in advance.
that's awesome about the sheep and how that scripture is. wow to many things come together that you wouldn't think of. The simplist things that we dont' look at and pay that much attention to.
JD, your words, reflecting the WORD of GOD are being heard and taken to heart by billions on this globe! GOD, through you and your staff and support groups, is sounding a warning to lost souls and speaking into places that have not known a WORD of TRUTH, possibly. If heard, your messages repeat TRUTH. Many listening! Finding the WAY! GOD doing HIS work!
Before I would go on patrol I would always read this verse and keep my pocket Bible in my breast pocket and I could feel his tangible protection. Psalms 27:3 New International Version (NIV) 3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psalm
To all my brothers and sisters in christ, I write to you with spiritual advice. I know this world is gruff, so you need to be tough. But don't let it change who you are, remember he is never far. Don't let your kindness and love inside you die, for Satan shall try. Lift it up to him, and repent for your sin. And if you should falter, come back to his alter. The father's ways are just, deny the Lust. For it will get in your way to him, and fill your life with sin. When life glets too hard to stand, bow your head and ask for his command. Read the word verse by verse, ask for the blessing, and rebuke the curse. Seek him with everything you can muster, and your soul shall luster. Hold no resentment in your heart, for it shall keep you apart. I know sometimes it's hard to set free, but give it to him and let it be. Express love in everything you do, and have faith he will see you through. Pray for everyone and help thoes you can, Remember to stand for his command. This world is getting colder by the day, and there is complete chaos, and dismay. This is no time to play, strive to represent him with all of your heart, and pray you are never apart. With all the love that has been shown to me, even though I don't deserve to be A brother in Jesus the Christ of Nazareth
O how I love psalm 25 and psalm 91 too! But my personal favorite is psalm 119 because Jesus really revealed Himself to me when I prayed vs.18 "open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law ". He is the aleph and tav, alpha and omega, beginning and end, and I go to psalm 119 whenever I feel I just need to spend time at His feet because that is where I feel His presence comfort and strength the most. But my bible is well worn and falling apart in the midst of all the psalms. I always tell people that the psalms is where you will find a voice for every emotion and situation you are going through, it speaks for us when we are at a loss for words The Holy Spirit speaks the fullness of His grace and truth into our hearts and brings forth the aches and hidden things of our heart in a way that is a beautiful prayer to our Father.
Such a precious, communicative Psalm! Try replacing He and You with "Divine Love", and feel the power of the Holy Spirit descend like a dove into our heart, then ascend with our spirit.
Layer upon layer of meaning.......Most people don’t know this but when Jesus entered Jerusalem through the Golden gate also known as the beautiful Gate he actually walked across a real place called the valley of the shadow of death. Today it’s full of tombstones and is one of the choicest and expensive places to buy a plot. It was the same place they sacrificed babies to Ba’al. The Jews all want to be next to the Messiah when he comes. They don’t understand he already did. The table prepared in the presence of his enemies is the last supper. Every one of the psalms are written in spirit from the Lords perspective. In fact the entire Bible 66 books not only points to him, but has one author and from his perspective. He just used 44 penmen. Waters always represents the word of God. The fact it is still waters means the word is fulfilled. From our perspective it sounds like a peaceful psalm, and it is in that it is talking about our salvation. But from the Lords prospective it’s all about the Fathers will and what awaited Jesus in Jerusalem. Praise God for our shepherd that leads us to his righteousness, which we get through faith in his fulfilled word. Psalms 24 makes more sense too now doesn’t it? The Gates are the Gates of Jerusalem that the King of Kings walked through to deliver us.
Thanks J.D. bro you just made me hungry talking eastern food LOL Blessings & SHALOM how exciting soon we feast in THE FATHERS HOUSE SHORTLY !! The first thing i will do when i see KING JESUS YESHUA is to kiss HIS FEET! MARANATHA MARANATHA FAMILY COME QUICKLY LORD KING JESUS YESHUA ! HALLELUJAH GLORY AMEN
American History Talks about once a year Mountain Men and the differant Indian Tribes getting together and have one Big Trading Party, and talking to one another, and breaking bread.
Psalm 118 which corresponds with 2018 and the Ezekiel 38/39 war, says that Israel will be surrounded and attacked and that the LORD will destroy the attacking armies and all men will know that He is the LORD !!!! I think the Rapture may occur during this time and it will happen on the first fall feast !!!
What a blessing your teaching is to me! Thank you.
Over the top.....this is so good to know all of the TRUTH of this23rd Psalm.Bless the word of the Lord !!! Amen.

Two times (maybe three) during a period of extreme stress or even depression, suddenly and without warning a "warm" feeling came over me, like a warmed blanket you get in the hospital sometimes. I was instantly relived of my stress and the reminder of our hope in Christ was forfront in my mind. I knew instantly this was The Holy Spirit. A truly wonderful experience!

YAY I finally found a Calvary church by me :D

I (also) enjoy every study with you ...God bless you Pastor JD !!! Luis From Brazil!
Why would anyone thumb this down????
"They" don't listen, "they" just react that way and move on to the next one.
I think people do it just so that the channel-video has a thumbs down even though it doesn't deserve to be thumbs down.
Minions that are paid to spread hate and smear God's name. One place for them....And it's not cold there.
I have been "witnessing" on RUclips sites recommending pastor Farag and others (Charles Lawson, Ken Ham, Kent Hovind). Possibly it's the athiests that I have come in contact with. At least I won't be held accountable for not telling them about Jesus.📖✝️
Jennifer Alphonso maybe because that's what direction they are going in.
"We all like sheep, have gone astray"at some point in our lives, as we all know; Isaiah 53.
I love that book. Really gives you insight from a Sheperd's point of view like the title states. Such a comforting message. Thank you LORD for always caring for us.
"A Shepherd Looks at the 23rd Psalm" is my favorite book outside of the Bible. I learned so much from reading it.
Remember God is in control stand strong stay alert and may. Lord be with you.
I seriously need prayer.
Praying for you brother.
Wow Pastor I have had Phillip Keller's book for years!
Thank you😍😍😍😍
The Chaplan would make the rounds on the battle Fields in Vietnam to give us this Prayer. I was18.
Please pray for me, my health isn't good and I pray for my doctor that He guides her hands to find answers to what ails me when I go to my appointment next week Tuesday afternoon.
Thank you in advance.
i immediately ordered that book by Mr. Keller from amazon , thanks for the awesome teaching pastor
Please pray for my husband Brian.
Kimberly Heath will keep him in prayer. God bless and keep you and your family.
that's awesome about the sheep and how that scripture is. wow to many things come together that you wouldn't think of. The simplist things that we dont' look at and pay that much attention to.
