J.D. you are such a blessing to me. Thank you for your faithfulness to The Word of God. I am smiling now because of the Lord's encouragement you delivered. And I hope you have time to read this comment. God bless you richly in Jesus Christ. Amen.
Yes Pastor it is hard but you know we love to serve Lord Jesus an would not have it any other way an i love my walk with Lord Jesus everyday i can't think of even living without Him He is all i have forever an ever an i shall not want AMEN !!! 🌹
Pastor, I have found over time, that those hard times only serve to draw us nearer to God, or sometimes hard times are to keep us focused on the Prize of our high calling and not on what is going on in the world's troubling times ahead. It could be even a preparation for persecutions ahead that will come to us believers sooner or later. I have failed many of these tests, so I know I have to pray more about my weaknesses, am so glad the Lord shows me where I have gone off the rail, so to speak. He never fails me, but I have failed Him, so those hard times allow me to know that I am only strong when I remain in Him, in the beloved, in His Spirit so the challenges of life, will be less of an ordeal. One thing, our suffering will never be so great as His was for us. Thank you Pastor , for the message today, God bless the body of Christ, make us bold in the Lord to share the Gospel of Christ with the world.
I thank you Katie frack for all that you do I thank you for your teachings I don't think that you make mistakes the way you teach is from the heart I'm just a Kentucky boy a hillbilly heart and I enjoy your word God bless you may God always be with you
Oh boy, that bit about Him not wanting me to cry almost made me cry while I'm waiting to board my flight 😅😭psh making me emotional-- thank you for this message. A wonderful reminder.
Thanks JD for this Awosome Wonderful Word that is meant for me to hear today God is Faithful You are such a anointed man of Lord Jesus.... Blessings Shalom
Pastor J.D., I so enjoy your teachings! The way you explain things makes it much easier to understand. And your sense of humor is wonderful!! Your comment about being thankful for fingers was hysterical. I burst out loud with laughter. My neighbors probably wonder what is going on in my apartment sometimes when I let out with and extremely loud - HAAAhahahaha! (I live in a senior high-rise apartment complex). God bless you Pastor and thank you for what you do!
Hi Jada, haven't seen you up in a week or so. You are in my prayers though. The fellowship of the Saints is so sweet and encouraging. This teaching showed up so clearly and pointed to me how we can go through the dark times and emerge in God's awesome light. He will hear our cries. You have a truly blessed weekend.
So good! Thank you! I'm so glad that you are not afraid to talk about things that are relevant and personal. 😊 I struggle with prayer...not that I can't pray...or don't pray...I talk with the Lord throughout the day...every day. But there are times when I don't know what to pray beyond what I already do. I want my prayers to be effective and pertinent. But there are times when all I can pray is that the Lord's WILL be done in ALL things. 🙏 Because, I see people around me 'crying out' for a Savior, yet heading the wrong way. 😞 Even people around me, my family and friends say I'm too spiritual...they don't want to 'hear about Jesus'...they 'don't have time right now'. They call me a 'Bible thumper' when I happen to speak His name...or offer to pray...or when I feel led to speak about Jesus.... I feel like I have no one left where I am at,...my family and friends pulled away...my kids aren't interested. But are we not supposed to talk about Salvation and the love of Jesus...especially now, when we are in the end times???... 😬 All those people I thought were people of God, many are my family (I always thought my family was a family of prayer warriors)...I though were spirit filled...but they are not. Most of them anyway. 😢 The Lord pulled me out of oppression several months ago and completely transformed me...Praise God!!! 🙌 My eyes are opened, He has given me clarity, and they are pulling farther and farther away from God...pacified by technology...entertainment...vacations...toys. It tears me up to see this and that I cannot do anything to help them except pray. So in my prayers I cry out for them...and literally cry...all the time. I'm not depressed but saddened by their cavalier attitude and the lack of interest. They aren't interested in seeing what is coming. 😢 Just because they turn away...bury their heads in the sand doesn't mean it won't happen...but it may be too late if they don't wake up. 😬 Please pray for me to stay strong through all of this...Spiritual Warfare is exhausting!!! 😖 Funny things is...I have always struggled to grasp the importance of the Psalms...but your study on them has helped abundantly. Especially today...I just sat and cried...drives me nuts to be so emotional lol. Thank you for all you do! Praise God for using people like you to speak His word to people like me❤🙌
I live in perilous times. This ministered to my heart...so so so much. Thank you Pastor Farag! Thank you ABBA...Thank you JESUS CHRIST...Thank you HOLY SPIRIT...shared my faith at work...I was severly persecuted and was told I was not allowed to do that anymore...direct quote. Thank you ABBA!
Thankyou dear pastor for the powerful message. Just what I needed at this point in my life. God bless you mightily and praying for you. All the way from dimapur, nagaland, northeast India.
We tried "cry it out" with our oldest one time and he didn't forgive us. He was miserable the whole rest of the day. ha ha But our youngest we ended up doing that because she would have had us hold her and soothe her 24/7 which was not physically possible for us. We had to sleep at some point. And when we watched the clock we realized she would cry on and off --with more 'off' near the end -- only for 5 minutes before falling asleep. She still needed to be held almost all the time during the day but she would then at least fall asleep on her own. And you learn their cries -- when they truly need you and when they are bored or protesting something that is good for them (ie sleep). It really is a good image of our relationship with God. He's not going to answer every tantrum and He disciplines those He loves for our good (you can be whiny for a few minutes before getting your much-needed sleep) but when you are truly distraught He is there to comfort. Even when we don't deserve it. We are fully dependent on Him.
Just watched this and thought it was yesterday Thursday message 😂 I'm so sick with a cold and I reckon it shows... Lol:) This was a good message tho and now I go get the acurate one up to date ! Praise God for true men of God!!!
The website is fab! Added it to my home screen. Well put together Elias👏. Thank you JD for your teaching & all the little anecdotes you share. I am learning a lot. Blessings from Northern Ireland 🍀
God's perfect will that all people be saved from sin and be in perfect health he wants his will be done on earth as it is in Heaven . there is no sickness and no poverty in Heaven
I love these Thursday night Bible studies. Thank you and your church for sharing them with us. Regarding Bono, I'm concerned for him that he hasn't deceived the church nearly as much as he has deceived himself. I pray that he turns to Jesus. I was very disappointed recently when he and his band encouraged Irish voters to vote for abortion on demand in their country. I had heard since the 1980's that they were Christians and this didn't fit at all. I had not followed this band so I wasn't aware of some of the other things. Very sad.
Good morning...Listening from Michigan (while on vacation), I'm visiting my daughter and grand daughter and seriously considering moving here from Glendale California.
Betty DeMars ...maybe it's better for us to be annihilated here to be immediately out of here and present with our merciful compassionate God. My biggest problem is my now former- husband who says "no" to everything. And once again he's knocking this idea. We are older in our 50s/60s raising a 7 year old that God blessed us with in our late years 😓🤧 but he is impossible and I believe I'm stuck here. My oldest daughter lives there with my grand daughter ( she is not his daughter). I regret to this day marrying him 20 years ago.
and Jesus went beyond the cleanse ...of the "ten lepers" to the one with the thankful heart! All were cleansed, but the one who came back with a THANKFUL heart was the only one who Jesus said, "Arise [to] and go thy way: thy faith has made thee whole" Ten cleansed, one cleansed AND made whole!
Qim Qvist The Lord will have the last word and we will be with him. You are so strong in the Lord as we are more than conquerors so hang in there brother! God has got this and He's got you too!!! "Resist the devil and he will flee". Much love to you!
Jada Parks-Villanueva Amen and Amen! I feel the same, more and more of the world disappears beneath our feet. I think Jesus wants us only to rely on Him, bring us closer in our dependence. It cant be long now cause I havent got much strength left. And ee are not the only ones. You blessed my night too, thank you for taking the time. The Lord is with us closer than we think! May the Lord bless you and keep you safe and in peace
Thank you again Pastor for knocking it out of the park with this teaching! BLESSINGS ALWAYS to you and your family! SHALOM!
Praise God ! This sermon answered a lot of questions for me - We hold you up in prayer everyday Pastor JD !

Crying...so many tears in this life. It's so depressing. I'll try to praise God more often. I'm so unhappy right now.
That was beautiful, thank you pastor. Blessed be our father in heaven, Jesus Christ 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Thank you JD for your faithfulness in presenting God's Word. I'm experiencing the Psalms in a way I've not done before.

Thank you once again, Pastor J.D. for another great study! We appreciate you so much.

Good morning...Listening from Michigan (while on vacation), I'm visiting my daughter and grand daughter and seriously considering moving here from Glendale California.
leave California----it is a pagan & evil state and soon the wrath of God will punish it.

Around 45 min in, I too have experienced that devilish voice laughing .. Praise Jesus for confirmation that Im not alone in that. Amen
Qim Qvist ...
Those who truly know Yeshua as Saviour all that "evil voice" ...we have to choose to listen or not...
tygfr me Yes true. It is not always easy to not get affected though. It is finished and the enemy tries to get us down without any real substance
Qim Qvist The Lord will have the last word and we will be with him. You are so strong in the Lord as we are more than conquerors so hang in there brother! God has got this and He's got you too!!! "Resist the devil and he will flee". Much love to you!
deborahcabness Thank you Deborah and Amen!! He will come get us soon!
Jada Parks-Villanueva Amen and Amen! I feel the same, more and more of the world disappears beneath our feet. I think Jesus wants us only to rely on Him, bring us closer in our dependence. It cant be long now cause I havent got much strength left. And ee are not the only ones.
You blessed my night too, thank you for taking the time. The Lord is with us closer than we think! May the Lord bless you and keep you safe and in peace
