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 calvarychapelk...
Thank you for the encouraging message. It's hard to "lift my head" lately and not feel like everything is pointless. I needed the reminder that God does have something good in my future. I just need to not lose heart, and let Him hear my voice more than I do.
Just love God's gift of psalms. The Holy Spirit uses them to touch and heal hearts. Thanks JD for all your efforts on your teaching.... Praise the Lord!
Thanks so much, JD. I love these Psalms Bible studies, please Pray for me because the WAIT is too long ( in my perspective) because I am three years unemployed ( I'm a civil engineer in Brazil and we are in crises) BUT GOD had given me the scape until now. Thank you! God Bless You and your family and your beautiful Church!
Hello my FATHER, my GOD, and my King, you are the only reason that I sing. I lift up all of my cares and my trouble, feels like this time it's double. But I know you are true, and will see me through. I thank you for every step that I take, and every breath that I make. I know your in my heart, and I pray I am never apart. I look at the state of the world and I mourn, The devil is a major thorn. He's making my people bleed, so I beg and I plead, give me the power that I need. To hold my shield for all, so inorder that no more fall. I humbly ask to save as many as I can, as many as pieces of sand. I choose to listen to your command, and this is where I stand. I believe in you and your word, and repent for all the blasphemy I have heard. Thank you for shedding your blood for me, even though I don't deserve to be. I give you all of the glory honor and praise, every minute of all my days. For Your the King of Kings and Lord of Lords my savior, my salvation, my corner stone and my foundation, my capstone, I pray your word be swen. To any who has an ear, I shed a tear, for there are so many whom are lost. They have allowed this world to frost. Their heart has waxed cold, I break that hold. I stand in the gap, and reenforce my shield so it dosnt snap. I ask for the spiritual fire, to save many before I retire. People do not understand, they don't want your repremand. They think you are fake, that's why they are on their way to the lake. I pray the Devils stronghold you break, and his fortresses you take. So many more can know who you are, and that your never far. I love you with everything I can, for you I shall stand. Guide my words and my ways, I will preach you all of my days. I will bring you much honor and glory, I want that to be my story. Your faithful and loving child, I'm sorry I was once so wild. A follower of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth
This message blesses me so much! Your testimony of losing your little baby girl is so moving. You are going to meet her in our Father's house dear pastor, just like me meeting my unborn babies who did not make it to the earth. Your life, pastor, is a reflection of God's love. That is one of the many reasons God is entrusting you this pastorship to help strengthen many of us. Be richly blessed by the Lord, pastor JD!!! Much love from Scandinavia.
I am of the same mind,as the person that left this message 2years ago. Thank You for all that you said and felt....God is always good and in control of our needs.
Wow! This Psalm was given to me too, last year, Psalm 27. This is a jaw dropping psalm that parallels events of my life, in some points word for word in prophetic like ways even to today. Thank you for sharing this psalm as you did.
Oh my goodness, Psalm 27. I'm in tears here cause I'm going through multiple trials and have been very discouraged. I know the Scriptures say to count it all joy when going through various trials, but my mind and body are in much distress. My family and I need fellowship with other believers. Please say a prayer for us! Maranatha!
I loved ur testimony JD. just beautiful bro. Yup we r all children waiting excitèdly looking up at the window eagerly hoping that today is the day PAPPA RETURNS for us !!! MARANATHA FAMILY !!!! ❤
Thank you Pastor JD for the encouragement from Psalm 27. I was about to give up. I had surgery on my left eye last October and i still can't see. My activities are limited. But you said "just wait you'll see". Thank you.
JD, you know how we wait for these blessings in God's Word. So very much is going on and the touch of the Lord through His Word and the richness of the fellowship, even though it's electronic is still as powerful as if we were there. Well, not quite lol, but close. Always know that you and your family and Calvary Kaneoie and all online are in our daily prayers. Praise the Lord for what He is doing, for there is very little time left now. Even so come Lord Jesus.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the amazing story of how God brought something so beautiful and good out of something so difficult and heartbreaking! I so needed to hear this message today. Thank you so much JD, may God bless you for your obedience. Thank you Father God for your amazing love, mercy and goodness!
Thank you Pastor J.D for explaining God's word . I always walk away with a bit more wisdom of our almighty God. You do a great job helping so many people understand.
God Given me The gift to Write for Him , Thought I'd share one of my Rhymes . God Bless Family ! Your the bomb Jay Dee Keep it Up Brother! It's called "The Calling"! ===================================================================================== I Was sitting in a cell watching the rain, Thinking about the times only brought back the pain Wishing I was free, free as a bird, so I could take up my wings and fly with the Word I reap what I sow and I get out what I put in, If you only knew where I've been you'd know my life was a Sin But I sit here and Write about my life and the times, Wishing I could retract and take back the Crimes But we all know what drugs do, they put you in the dirt, they strip you of your dignity they make your heart ache with hurt If you can relate to what I'm saying then this rhyme is just for you, It's time to get a clue and let GOD see US through This life full of haterz and world full of lies, it's the truth that we seek and it's right infront of our eyes! So look deep within and let your HEART defeat your MIND, don't walk this world Blind or you might be left behind Because the Devil is Deceivious and Swift in his ways, he's like a 2 horned monster, he stalks what he preys So you better be on your game when the temptations come for you, I hope you've got the clue or you just might be made a fool If you're feeling what i'm saying this just might be your day, The day you come to christ because by GOD he's the only way, the truth and the life, Accept him right now he just might take your strife If you think I'm playing then you got me all wrong, What kind of cold hearted person you think would write this song? I write this out of love which GOD has for you and me, if you could only see what I see you'd know you were free From the shakles and the chains which entrap us by the night, makes us fall to sin but family i walk in LIGHT So catch my drift and get on my level, stop gambling with your soul or you just might meet the devil If you aint got the point I advise you to run, you may seek you may find, but you won't hide from the son!
my husband and I had unexplained infertility as well. we were told we most likely would never conceive. 4 years to the day they told us that-- our son was born. Samuel is his name. I got pregnant after 8 years of marriage, after we had accepted that this was God's will for our lives. HE had another plan. I never got pregnant again. Sam is now 24 and takes care of me since his father passed away much too young.
Before I knew I was pregnant-- before I had even missed a period-- I had a dream. In the dream, I gave birth to a boy. SO. I just knew it was a boy when I took the pregnancy test. No girl names were considered.
Exactly, ever so gently, put your finger on a specific thing or behavior; that needs to go. Not done in a mean way; there was allot of yelling as I grew up, no yelling from Abba, Daddy. Thankful
Pastor, please pray for my grandma and my uncle - they are both in a bad way. My grandma has been in and out of the hospital and it looks like her time may be up soon. I am told she has The Lord but I do worry about her. My uncle has been slowly dying from a disease over the last few years. He is becoming more and more bitter and lashing out at everyone. He has isolated himself in my grandma's basement... I am told he hears God's voice but he doesn't seem to bare good fruit... I cant judge but I am concerned... deeply grieved for them both. Please pray for them. Pray for me because I don't know if The Lord wants me to go talk to them about their "faith". Also another member of my family just had a stroke a few days ago. I am learning more about The Lord and your sermons have been helping me. For the last couple of years I haven't slept a good full night's sleep. I suffer sever anxiety and hyper tension. Due to church trauma. My ex pastor condemned me to my face and even though I knew it wasn't true (I believe in Jesus, so I am saved) but his words are like poison and it created an irrational fear in me so much so that I fear God in a bad way. I experience Ecclesiastes on a daily basis. My heart is so numb from the breakdowns and mind-melt-downs. I am saddened that my faith was weaker than I thought as to bring me here. I thank The Lord for this trial as I know it is happening for my betterment. I need peace and reassurance and to fully recover and be the woman He wants me to be and know His will. Anyway..... sorry for being lengthy.... we need prayer. God bless you pastor. PS- please pray for my mother (something has come to my attention recently and I don't know what to do but pray) and my husband's hardened heart (that The Lord softens his heart towards others and to know His love. AND his gaming addiction.) and my son's late developing (I am teaching him about The Lord, please pray that he stays strong and accepts Jesus as his Savior) too. thank you so much whoever prays for us. May God bless and keep you all safe and heal all of your afflictions, in Jesus' Name, amen.
and please Lord, bless my sisters and their marriages. And please bless and help my ex-friends in their journey in faith (please don't let them be false...). In Jesus Name, amen. (I am aware that some people get peeved about people praying "publically" because of what Jesus said about doing it in private as to not be like the Pharisees. Believe me, I have no intention of "showing off" I did this because I and my family need prayer and I am not ashamed to pray publically.) I have been keeping my light under a basket for too long. And not reaching out. So now I am asking....with love and humility.... please send prayers. Thank you
Heldagandrel Oh, my precious sister it seems as though the enemies are attacking GOD’s children on all ends. That lets me know that our time here on earth is coming to an “soon enough” end. One of my coworkers son hear demons telling him to kill people and I just learned that the other coworkers daughter tried to commit suicide. If ever we need to pray, the time is NOW!!! HOLY, ALMIGHTY ABBA, I am sending up a S.O.S for this sister concerning her desperate need. YOU are more than aware of everything, in detail, and is able to handle this load and more. JESUS said that we have not because we ASK not. Well I am SEEKING, KNOCKING at YOUR door and ASKING you to please meet this NEED here. Please, FATHER, hear, please harken to this humble request. THY will be done. Bring glory to YOUR name in the midst of this circumstance and that all involved will know that YOU are THE LORD and with YOU ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. I also pray for my coworkers and their children whom the demons seem to want to destroy. LORD, please come to their rescue. We “need” YOU and as YOU look on us, please forgive our sins and have mercy on us for mercy suits our case. Thank YOU, ABBA, for JESUS who makes all this possible through HIS great sacrifice. We will give YOU all the praise forever and ever. Amen. I will continue to pray for you, dear heart. Even so, please, Come, LORD JESUS.
In Jesus name lord i pray for Heldagandrel and The family of this Person Lord i Pray right now in Full faith that you will have the final say in every situation that is weighing on the Heart of this person lord and right now Jesus I fully submit my prayer of restoration and healing and peace that surpasses all understanding right now on the family and i pray right now the holy spirit will come back in the lives of everyone that Heldagrandel is talking about lord and I pray this all in JESUS name ! AMEN!

God Given me The gift to Write for Him , Thought I'd share one of my Rhymes . God Bless Family ! Your the bomb Jay Dee Keep it Up Brother! It's called "The Calling"!
=====================================================================================
I Was sitting in a cell watching the rain, Thinking about the times only brought back the pain
Wishing I was free, free as a bird, so I could take up my wings and fly with the Word
I reap what I sow and I get out what I put in, If you only knew where I've been you'd know my life was a Sin
But I sit here and Write about my life and the times, Wishing I could retract and take back the Crimes
But we all know what drugs do, they put you in the dirt, they strip you of your dignity they make your heart ache with hurt
If you can relate to what I'm saying then this rhyme is just for you, It's time to get a clue and let GOD see US through
This life full of haterz and world full of lies, it's the truth that we seek and it's right infront of our eyes!
So look deep within and let your HEART defeat your MIND, don't walk this world Blind or you might be left behind
Because the Devil is Deceivious and Swift in his ways, he's like a 2 horned monster, he stalks what he preys
So you better be on your game when the temptations come for you, I hope you've got the clue or you just might be made a fool
If you're feeling what i'm saying this just might be your day, The day you come to christ because by GOD he's the only way,
the truth and the life, Accept him right now he just might take your strife
If you think I'm playing then you got me all wrong, What kind of cold hearted person you think would write this song?
I write this out of love which GOD has for you and me, if you could only see what I see you'd know you were free
From the shakles and the chains which entrap us by the night, makes us fall to sin but family i walk in LIGHT
So catch my drift and get on my level, stop gambling with your soul or you just might meet the devil
If you aint got the point I advise you to run, you may seek you may find, but you won't hide from the son!
my husband and I had unexplained infertility as well. we were told we most likely would never conceive. 4 years to the day they told us that-- our son was born. Samuel is his name. I got pregnant after 8 years of marriage, after we had accepted that this was God's will for our lives. HE had another plan. I never got pregnant again.

Before I knew I was pregnant-- before I had even missed a period-- I had a dream. In the dream, I gave birth to a boy. SO. I just knew it was a boy when I took the pregnancy test. No girl names were considered.
Your teachings always make me cry but in a good way! 😄
Amen

It occurred to me that not only do you have your beautiful daughter, but Noel is also awaiting your reunion to come ❤️
Exactly, ever so gently, put your finger on a specific thing or behavior; that needs to go. Not done in a mean way; there was allot of yelling as I grew up, no yelling from Abba, Daddy. Thankful
