"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed." 1 Corinthians 1:18 IT BEGINS WITH A DESIRE Which is. why we are told to mediate on things that are true honest just pure lovely and of a good report.
I look forward to the message from The Porch each week. I really enjoy when Pastor JD speaks. Thank you for proclaiming God’s Word and His heart for his kids. 💞
I desperately needed this! I was sexually assaulted in Janurary and I’ve been hyper sexual and spiraled ever since💕I love these practical steps and guidance!! This is the message I’ve been praying for!!
Thank you for this message. When you mentioned how scared you were to open up and be vulnerable about your past sexual sin and life prior to being transformed by Christ, reminded me of my attempt to open up to the person I was dating once and whom I thought would be my husband. I recall he asked me to open up and asked me about my past to which I was confident that God had transformed me so what I had done in my past, though I am ashamed of it, I knew is no longer me. I opened up and was scared to hear this person's response. This person proceeded to judge me and demand an explanation and told me they could never be with someone like me because the person I was then is a reflection of who I am today. I felt so ashamed and full of guilt for many reasons. He was also a believer, and he too had a past but I told him I saw him with different eyes. I needed to hear this. Thank you!
FIVE STEPS TO WIN THE BATTLE AGAINST SEXUAL SIN: 1. Remember who you are and what you’re called to do 2. Recognise where you’re susceptible 3. Resist the urge to give in to your sexual desires 4. Run from sin and towards community 5. Respond rightly
Loll I honestly love the making fun of Spirit because I used to be a flight attendant for them. I have to mention though just for everyone wondering about Spirit and cheaper airlines, you don’t have to buy a carry on or a bag. I’ve used smaller duffel bags and can shove them under the seat in front of me. Also you don’t have to select your seat. There is a little option at the bottom that says skip selection. In addition, all US airlines follow the same FAA standards and Spirit actually has the youngest fleet of all american-operated airlines with no fatalities or crashes. I still enjoy making fun of them though lol
The Gospel: Plain and Simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3 Ask someone today if they are saved and you will most likely hear responses like these: “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually knows the gospel that saves them. These useless phrases don’t describe a thing about what the gospel is and has left a devastating effect of people not knowing what it is that they are saved from nor how they are saved; which leaves a more serious effect of people questioning their salvation. Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salvation that is in Christ with vague church sounding phrases that do not communicate anything. But rather present God’s word with clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel: plain and simple. Sin was passed upon all men by one man Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good works one might do we are still found sinners in the sight of our Creator God. And all unrighteousness and those who follow get indignation and wrath. We cannot be found righteous for by God’s law we are found sinners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even one law we are found guilty. It is for this reason of not being able to create our own righteousness and being born in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus 3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross 2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath and judgement that was intended for us sinners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial, and resurrection on our behalf that we are able to have peace with God and forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good news is unto all but only those that believe in it are made righteous in Christ (Romans 3:22). It is then after we have heard this good news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and we are now part of Christ’s body the church (Eph 1:13) There is nothing that we need to do, no good works that are required, and no bad works that can separate us from our new position in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Faith and belief in this information from God’s word is the gospel. The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your heart. The gospel is not making him lord of your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not being baptized with water. So next time someone asks you if you are saved. Give them the clear assured answer “Yes! And let me tell you why! Find more free resources at: www.graceambassadors.com

I’m so sorry you went through this. I’m currently going through the exact same thing and it’s a horrible feeling.
All sins are exposed to the eyes of OUR LORD! Can't get bothing past HIM!
And judging by your profile photo, no Golden Corral buffet can get past you either.
Thank you so much for this talk. 💚
this is so real i loved this message, thank you JD

Used the Seige “Outside” for that opener?
Following the message, we can't stand it! Help.😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
The Gospel:
Plain and
Simple
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your
minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3
Ask someone today if they are saved and
you will most likely hear responses like these:
“I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I
have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been
baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good
and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually
knows the gospel that saves them. These useless phrases don’t describe a thing about what
the gospel is and has left a devastating effect
of people not knowing what it is that they are
saved from nor how they are saved; which
leaves a more serious effect of people questioning their salvation.
Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salvation that is in Christ with vague church
sounding phrases that do not communicate
anything. But rather present God’s word with
clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel:
plain and simple.
Sin was passed upon all men by one man
Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin
(Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of
condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of
this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good
works one might do we are still found sinners
in the sight of our Creator God. And all unrighteousness and those who follow get indignation and wrath. We cannot be found
righteous for by God’s law we are found sinners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even
one law we are found guilty.
It is for this reason of not being able to
create our own righteousness and being born
in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus
3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in
the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross
2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath
and judgement that was intended for us sinners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial,
and resurrection on our behalf that we are
able to have peace with God and forgiveness
of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good
news is unto all but only those that believe in
it are made righteous in Christ (Romans
3:22).
It is then after we have heard this good
news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit
and we are now part of Christ’s body the
church (Eph 1:13)
There is nothing that we need to do, no
good works that are required, and no bad
works that can separate us from our new position in Christ (Romans 8:35-39).
Faith and belief in this information from
God’s word is the gospel.
The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your
heart. The gospel is not making him lord of
your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not
being baptized with water.
So next time someone asks you if you are
saved. Give them the clear assured answer
“Yes! And let me tell you why!
