After 3 years of listening to your preaching Pastor Farag.. I still say hands down you're one of the best preachers I've sat under within my lifetime! Thank You Abba for Ministers of Truth like JD Farag!

[@RunningRlust96]

I love your sermons!!! We need more like you Sir!

[@walterdebnam8021]

Amen JD. I'm overwhelmed at just how close our Lord's return for us can be. Help us to abide in you Lord Jesus and your Word. And know You and make You known. Thank you for your sharing of the scriptures.

[@ibeam06]

This was exactly what I needed to hear today, thank you Holy Spirit and thank you Pastor JD

[@sharf4586]

This message was definitely needed Pastor for many people. I so appreciate your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. May God our precious Savior continue to use you mightily in Jesus Name!

[@lifesajourney9575]

satan knows Bible scripture better than most Bible Scholars & he knows time is short! satan is running rampant gathering up souls to condemn to Hell for all of eternity!!....There is so much evil & wickedness going on all around the world that the only time I find any inner peace is when I am in the word of God studying and when I am praying. I stay close to Jesus because He's coming back soon. Thank you for another great message Pastor JD!!

[@tetc6814]

LifesAjourney: ….and then the maggot enemy came very unstuck because the Bible says that Christ came to save the world and the words "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess...." is not always propagated as well as it should. The word "every" is the giveaway. God wins "every" soul because they ultimately bow to the Name of Christ whether before or after the tribulation, they still do. God bless.

[@hisroyalmajestymatthewilio1165]

All souls belong to God, The ones that burn so to speak (for me cold and dark far away from thy light) are being punished for there sins. (Transgression of thy law) and God chastises those he loves, and he loves all of us. What a divine plan, for Love cleanses all sins and God is of Love. So God cleanses are sins.

[@MARANATHA-AMEN]

Thank you for your weekly encouragement. Thank you for sharing the truth of God's word. 41 years I've been watching and waiting for the Lord's soon return. Thank you for the encouragement to walk circum-spectly... as Our Father, circum-cises our hearts in HIS Word of TRUTH. Yes, redeem the time. Maranatha!

[@berniesully9173]

You need the license plate wrap that says "Do you follow Jesus Christ this close?"

[@Skyfilly]

I pray for my husband to be the man of my dreams and that he draws nearer to God. He is going to Church and a Bible study. So he is moving the right direction

[@feleciahorton3610]

wonderful thank you Lord

[@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises]

I better pray harder for my hubby. Behind that wheel... well dare I not go there. He is a mad man....lol. Yes, traffic is a real test. Awesome word today Pastor. Much sisterly love for you and your family. Maranatha!!

[@MistyinLouisiana]

Lisa Cunningham oh wow, my husband too!!! And He stripes roads and highways, so he not only hates driving in traffic, he has to stand and try to work in it all day. :/ God bless the both of our husbands, in Jesus' name!

[@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises]

LaHomeGrown & KingdomBound we lift our husbands to our heavenly Father.!

[@chevona]

God Bless you and your family!!!

[@keeshlon]

You're so right, Pastor Farag, about the enemy not wanting this message heard; near the end, when you're talking about demons discussing how to prevent people from being saved, the video keeps buffering. But we know that satan's time is short and he is defeated! AMEN!

[@LucasB2882]

Rebelling against God is our curse. It's like God's blessing comes from our following God on his path. We rebel or sin, it's like filling ourselves with bitter water. God's blessing is like fresh water. Bitter water and fresh water don't mix. God restores our soul, cleans us with the blood of Jesus, and sets us back on the path. When we are back in obedience he can bless us, fill us with fresh water. Sometimes a breaking has to happen before God can bless us. Sometimes the only way we will let go of our sin and idols, is to be shaken. Then we remember God, that we need him, that we can't just rebel against him forever. It's surrender, following God, that leads to blessing. It leads to a renewed mind. Fear of God leads to wisdom. Sinfulness leads to a darkened, reprobate mind. The way God punishes us is not for the sake of harming us, it's for our good and his glory. Even if it means our death. Sometimes God punishes us with death. Imagine death from God's perspective, to be without the body is to be with the Lord. Even as Christians we can have a faith that is dead, because sin separates us from God. But God is our shepherd, he guides us back to the path, restores us. Imagine if he just left us there forever, we would have to live our lives without him. We have to trust God, he knows more than we do. The things the Jews did in the wilderness, they're the same things we do all the time. And then we wonder why we have such hard lives. God can bless us, but we have to let go, of ourselves, of the world, alone in the wilderness, with just you following God.

[@JESUSISLORDforevermore888]

AMEN. GOD bless and keep you, my brother. Have a blessed, SPIRIT filled week.

[@joeyhooper5003]

JAYDEE I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY ! THANK YOU FOR POSTING ! godbless dude!

[@edwindegris9491]

I needed this message, praise God, Amen 🙏🏼

[@Bo-zw2rj]

Excellent, well said. Mahalo. My biggest fear is that I cannot get the message of Jesus dying on the cross and shedding his blood for us to my son and daughter. I try and they think I am nuts. So I am very frustrated and don't know what to do except pray. Every opportunity I try. And when I miss an opportunity I feel like I failed Jesus. What a retched life I live. As Paul said: To do the things I don't want to do and not do the things I want to do. Time is short. Our Blessed Hope is coming soon. Thank you also for the prophecy updates, there needed, appreciated, and great.

[@davidrandall4446]

Bo ...He knew you before the earth was made. Prayer and trust in Him. Act as an example, pray for His direction in your actions and have faith that He loves us so much He won't let us suffer eternally grieving for a loved one. Miracles are everywhere. Faith and prayer give power to anything. Amen

[@Bo-zw2rj]

Thank you David.

[@rosalindeads215]

Isn’t it so that people are evil and praise each other for doing and saying horrible things to others and each other. Our laws will give more prison time for killing endangered animals or abusing animals commercials for feeding the animals. I believe all animals should be loved and treated right however not above humans. A life sentence for drugs and 11 years for murdering people if in some cases any time. I’m heart broken over some things I hear and are said to me and others who try and talk about good verses evil and telling others of our Heavenly Father the death of Jesus for our sins! Mocking and out and out evil verbiage. The attacks on our President and the praise of the last faux president we have them calling him their Lord and savior. Blasphemy spoken without even a second thought! We are living in the last days for sure Maranatha sweet Jesus! Thank you Brother for your messages and prayer for all.

[@anthonygilio4826]

"Demonic tailgating", that's cute. God will help you through that traffic. Love your teaching, especially prophecy. God bless you and your family.

[@MariaG2570]

This was such a blessing I had to listen to it twice! 😃 It helps me know God hurts when I hurt. I never think of it that way. Instead I think oh man I blew it and He’s made at me.

[@allsaintsarmy8882]

Unfortunately the devil always attacks me thru my husband. It’s been that way for years and now we’re facing divorce. I wish it wasn’t like that, I would have preferred my marriage to be restored but I guess God had other plans

[@bennabiermoci3065]

I'm sorry about that, I had the same experience. Be sure to remain single and you will have a great opportunity to get intimate with Yeshua. In these last days many believers are being separated for this reason! True love is not diminished in us but sanctified in preparation for His soon coming. That our garments can be made clean and without wrinkle. John 15

[@celesta9]

I don't think it's God's plan for divorce. His Word says He hates it - Malachi 2:16. It's our own choice to get divorced. I pray that Holy Spirit will give you wisdom, knowledge and insight to make the right choices.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

AllSaintsArmy 888 no no no , look online for marriage 911. Call them. They will help you. If your husband is willing . You can also do it on your own which may make him willing. Please sister, try this! .y husband and I were extremely close to divorce but he actually found marriage 911 for us , even though he wanted the divorce. We went to their conference and it helped . And God helped. We are better now than we were since our 2nd anniversary which was 14 years ago. We went through some horrible times. The devil was all in our marriage. Big time. We had left church which helped him get further in. If you can't afford to go to the conference , which is kinda an intensive marriage counseling session for two days. You can buy the DVDs and do the course or just buy the books. One main one. I will pray for you both. Please try for God. Men really do not get women and we don't get them much either. This course will help tremendously. Plus we are both way closer to God. I see a huge change in my husband's attitude. So much more love and kindness and understanding. It has all changed me as well. Even the bad things that happened before have made us stronger. Look into it at least. Just Google it. May God save your marriage. God bless you.

[@TrueBeliever6491]

I went through twenty one difficult years with mine and one day God removed him. I refused to file for divorce all those years and hung in there as I knew God hated divorce. Finally, God removed him. If you put it in God's hands and trust him, he will be faithful to make everything work together for good (Romans 8:28). I will say it was the hardest thing I ever had to go through but God has been faithful through it all.

[@jeannejellison2404]

AllSaintsArmy 888, Only God knows what the circumstances are in your relationship, Last May 15th, on my birthday, my husband asked for a divorce, it totally caught me of guard, we have been together for 23 years and been married for 17 years. He used the excuse that I had walked out of our relationship when I started becoming an overboard religious freak, and that I was an ugly person in the sense of how selfish,self centered and rude I could be to him and others around us. IT WAS A WAKE UP CALL!!! . Little did I know this was part of God’s plan, I talked him into getting counseling, so I got up in the wee morning hours to search for it online, and ended up finding Laura Doyle and her books the Surrendered Wife, and the Empowered Wife. The titles kind of throw you off, and she writes them in a way that they are not offensive to a non believer, but for a believer, you realize how this lines right up with 1 Peter 3 This last year has been an incredible journey, and honestly, it was more for me than it was for my husband in the sense that I have always been what I would have called myself a devout Christian, BUT, God finally got my attention once and for all to realize, I wasn’t living that way at ALL!!! This last year has been a year of first breaking me,humbling myself before God and taking me deeper than I have ever been in his word and my relationship with my Heavenly Father, then again, getting my attention to really listen to him and walk by Faith. I left a career that I had done for over 18 years, but my heart hadn’t been in it since 2015, but I wasn’t listening to that small voice of the Holy Spirit because I was stubborn and hard hearted. To much to contour with, but all I can say is, by essentially surrendering to God first, has made my marriage so much better, and my husband so much more loving.

[@I_belong_to_Jesus_Christ]

A million thumbs up! 😭😭😭 i cried like a baby watching this. I feel like there was a message for me in this video. Every day John 3:16 comes to mind John 3:16 (ESV) For God So Loved the World 16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. I have felt rejected by love all my life, I have a hard time now accepting that i am loveable. I don't like this. I pray to ABBA to heal my heart, take me back to my first love which is Him. I pray please renew a right heart in me. Sigh . I love ABBA with all my heart ❤🙏❤ Thank you for this ahhhmazing sermon JD, God bless you

[@rebeckaannsouza757]

Driving today is not only insane but the people have such evil flowing threw them...I'm not old but I chose not to be on the road anymore...very unsafe!!!

[@stranglestrong]

I have nothing, I'm hated by everyone. Yeah I totally want to stay on this evil world. If I suddenly became rich and famous I would have "friends and family" suddenly come out of the wood work.

[@heatherf5164]

GREAT sermon JD. Was there a prophecy update today I don't see it posted anywhere?

[@bobdillashaw4360]

Heather F they did post the prophecy update, I haven’t watched it yet though but it should be there.

[@heatherf5164]

[@runningamok]

Hi, Church! Does anyone know what to say to comfort someone who's unsaved loved one has passed away?

[@runningamok]

Oops, forgot to add: Another good sermon, Pastor JD. Thank you!

[@clevelandgentry1783]

Your husband needs "Deliverance Counseling", whereby he can be delivered from the darkness that is indwelling his soul and therefore controlling him (his mind, emotions, and will). God never intended for women to be sacrificed on the "altar of men's egos"!!!

[@barbarafullingim2297]

Driving tp- how to stop tailgater! Ok, little known fact, when you slightly apply brake pedal , but not with actual pressure; no, you just barely touch brake pedal so brake light comes on but the brakes arent actually applied, no, just the light comes on, but no brakes. This little trick. Will startle the driver behind you to quickly press his breaks and get off your butt. While you just keep going- trust me it works and feels good to stop them.

[@sarahbearah1993]

Barbara Fullingim doesnt work everytime. Some are not intentionally tailgating and some will tailgate you because they want to. I full on break checked a woman in a suv behind me. I had kids in the car. She was right on me trying to get me to go above the speed limit in a school zone while the lights were flashing. I could see her cussing and waving her arms at me , so I drove a little slower than i normally would just incase I did have to break fast maybe she wouldnt hit and kill my kids. God gave her something that ruined her day. School traffic! Slow barely moving for miles. She was just so frustrated. Im assuming she was late but that wasnt my fault. I wish people wouldn't put others life in danger because of their own selfish reasons.

[@corbindalles9248]

This is a horrible idea. Violence is the most probable outcome of this action. You should feel ashamed.
