When I Try To Run From God - Jonah 1 - December 19th, 2024

[@carolovesteven]

JD I look forward to every Sunday. Sunday has become my favorite day of the week. I found you when I first came to Christ in 2022. After 2020-I was looking for answers. I found Jesus-the Truth. I should say He found me! 😆. I just want to say that your updates and teachings are the highlights of my days. I watch them over a few times-in case I missed anything. They’re never long enough! Thank you Pastor-you have brought the Bible to me in clarity. With the Holy Spirit and your teaching I have been gifted with wisdom from above. Thank you Jesus Disciple-I love you and look forward to meeting you in the air. Jesus-Come Quickly. Maranatha. ✨🕊👑.

JD Might print your comment…he probably doesn’t hear that too often (sermons aren’t long enough!) but i know what you mean he really helps bring them to life

Heavenly Father bless JD and his family in Jesus' name! Amen

I love the Jonah account! Thank you for making it more alive, real, and funny Pastor JD!

JD When you told about David that he could have killed Saul, but didn't. Because he was following God, he had decided to follow Jesus, no turning back. That was the song that immediately popped into my head. Thank you, and God bless you, pastor JD.

November of 2021, the Lord showed me 53 in my Bible plan, roughly 3 years and 6-7 months after a dream God gave me on 4-11-18 showing the rapture is soon. At the beginning of March 2024, the Lord put it on my heart to go through things He brought to my attention over time, making a list to see how much time was in between each thing. And the results of that list are very encouraging! The time in between each number God gave me decreased, in the same way the birth pains have increased in frequency and intensity. Each time after God gave me 53 initially, He gave me 53 and the next number, except for the very last one, which was 53/65/66 on September 28th 2024. There was anticipation of the Rapture happening around the time 53/66 happened. But then 10 days later on October 8th, I started getting the verse of the day at midnight. Midnight is a Rapture reference! And since that point, I've been watching for the verse of the day at Midnight. Matthew 25:6 ESV [6] But at *midnight* there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Updated list: Verse of the day, at 12:00 Midnight December 20th *(Very Last One, Time Is Up! We're Going Up)* Luke 1:46-47 ESV 46] And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,[47] and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, December 10th John 13:34 ESV [34] A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. Nov, 29th Matthew 22:37-39 ESV [37] And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. [38] This is the great and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself Nov 16th Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV [8] It is the Lord who goes before you. He wil be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Nov 15th Philippians 4:19 ESV 19] And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. November 11th 2 Corinthians 12:10 ESV [10] For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. October 30th Romans 12:1 ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. October 25 Psalm 139:13-14 ESV [13] For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. [14] I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Oct 20th 1 Peter 2:24 ESV [24] He himself bore our sins in his body or the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. Oct 12th Isaiah 6:8 ESV [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me. 0ct 10th John 10:10 ESV [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. Oct 8th Psalm 34:8 ESV [8] 0h, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Please don't misunderstand me. We absolutely do NOT know the day or the hour. That's not the point of the rapture countdown. The point is Jesus is coming back and we don't have time to waste. We need to make every day count, knowing we could be raptured today! Isaiah 40:3 ESV‬‬ [3] A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. ‭‭Revelation 22:12-13 ESV‬‬ [12] “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. [13] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” ‭‭Hebrews 10:35-37 ESV‬‬ [35] Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. [36] For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. [37] For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; The Lord confirmed to me in two dreams (a Jesus dream and the other I was walking with God the Father) the Rapture will take place in the Fall, but neither of those dreams gave me a year, so I've been watching every Fall since then. But this year (2024), God has made it absolutely clear that THIS IS IT! Time's up! The Rapture WILL take place THIS Fall! My hope is that this message has encouraged the Body of Christ and that the lost have been/will be found. Are you born again/rapture ready? Romans 3:23 ESV for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 ESV For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. John 3:17‭-‬18 ESV For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. Romans 10:9‭-‬10 ESV because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (God) and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Colossians 2:14 ESV by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. Romans 8:1 ESV [1] There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:37 ESV No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 10:13 ESV For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” bible.com/bible/59/rom.10.13.ESV God bless you and keep you always! 🙂 Note: WeatherBug refreshed itself yesterday at 12:19pm, high of 33. The time before that it refreshed at 10:39am, high of 33. And it's currently still showing 12:19pm.

I need prayer for deliverance from cigarettes. Please pray for me , Thank you God bless 🤍

[@Kra-ri6fd]

God delivered this once backslidden Christian from alcohol...He can deliver you. Pursue Him with all you heart, all your mind, and all your soul and He will take that desire from you. Have you been baptized? I ask this because, while Baptism isn't a salvation issue, I noticed a difference after baptism. I was Christian for as long as I could remember (at least I thought I was) but didn't get baptized because of intense social anxiety. But when I finally got baptized, it seemed I had more strength to overcome convictions in my life.

[@KeithGreenshields]

Sins are paid for not of works. Deliverance can come or you have to work at it.

[@janmiller5650]

@@KeithGreenshieldsplease explain. That’s good and deep.

[@KeithGreenshields]

@@janmiller5650 All sins are paid for because it says so all over the place in the new testament. The gospel is based upon 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: God heals whom He wants to heal and there is many examples in the bible of that. Sometimes God uses sin and ailments to transform and teach and at other times will deliver or heal if he so chooses to do so if it fits into His will according to His purposes that are not based upon human understanding but as a pebble in the pond so His work in us will not come back to Him void but with increase to further His kingdom. The truth is not found in listening to others so much but more of dependence upon the Spirit who guides us into all truth but we must do something, read the bible on topics of interest and meditate upon the word prayerfully. The biggest mistake we can ever make is depending upon a human to learn of God, that is why it is a relationship. We go to God as I have mentioned but there are some good teachers out there the do in fact help us understand and it is advisable to look for such mentors but don't depend upon them, only God. Read Romans. Hebrews, Acts, and then the letters written by Paul. Also I recommend reading John but don't stop there keep reading and highlight the things that stick out. Have a notepad and right down your topic of interest and under the heading make notes of what you find in the bible that relate to the topic by giving reference verses. Know you are saved (start there) and also know we are on a journey and we will never know it all but we can grow and know God more. When we go up in the air to meet the Lord then we will know all things but for now things are hidden for His purpose.

[@TruthBeTold77]

As we Are Not In The Right, As It's GOD WHO IS IN THE RIGHT, As The Only Good In us Is CHRIST JESUS, As Written, Matthew 19:17 KJV - And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. And Know How Very Many We're Saved, While JD Was Gone Away, So He Couldn't Rob, Nor Steal The Glory That Truly Belongs To GOD Almighty, As All The Glory And All The Thanks, And All The Praise Goes To The LORD Thy GOD, JEHOVAH, Amen. GOD BLESS ❤

Thank you for service! I have tried 3 times to to request a religious exemption. I am a follower. of Jesus. Been listen for a long time! I am old,don't see well,not good at typing. Would be thrilled to be a recoginized member of your church. Thank you pastorJ.D, I AM LISTENING!

[@Kra-ri6fd]

I have slept in deep sleep like that. Ironically it was on a ship...when I was in the Navy. Military life is extremely sleep depriving. When you do get to sleep finally (if you are able to shut your brain off because sleep deprivation can actually keep you awake!) You can fall into deep sleep.Though I usually woke up in a panick at that time, thinking I was supposed to be on watch or missed a drill...not knowing what day it is or what hour of the day (or night). We spent so much time trying to stay awake that when we finally slept, it felt like we weren't supposed to be sleeping! I have fallen asleep with helicopters taking off yards from me or under massive generators (loud things btw) at 3 AM while working on flange shielding pipes.... One time I went three days without seeing the sun because of work schedule. I made it a priority to see the sun daily after that. Seeing the sun daily can actually help aleviate and give you strength. Not seeing the sun for extended periods of time can mess with your mind! Now, the same can be said about THE SON of God. When we don't rest in him daily, we lose strength in our walk with the lord and that's when good Christians become cursing sailors. We have to make time for putting on the full armor of God DAILY!

40 minutes or so later (I paused the video to make the above comment) I finish this video. I forgot Jonah was in the fish (without seeing the sun) for three days lol I can't imagine three days of smelling the inside of a fish and not seeing the sun. I bet he had no appetite for a good while after that!

[@yearoffavor]

JD! I had a dream once for providing the message to a nearby church. In the dream/visionnthe lot was thrown by an unseen hand and it was between a hispanic man snd me (white woman). i did it…and it was for a black church. it was fun to tell the message bit i blanked out and the HS took over so i have very little recollection of what i said. sooo God still casts lots.

[@KeithGreenshields]

Dream and a vision of the same thing, amazing.

[@Broletsgohome]

Alot of the things ive been facing is i needa wait on the lord before something else comes.... idk im trying to figure it out and i cant....which must mean its not time to... u know? =\

[@chikachukwuka8112]

Pastor JD, I have a question. Is it right for me to go on taking pain medications while I am believing God for a miracle? The doctors have tried, but nothing came out of it except empty pocket and continued bank account drain.

[@Mark_Wolffe]

The physical body has an amazing ability to heal, and one has found the ability to overcome unbelievable adversity. Love God and have singular focus on him, taking joy in all things, and you can heal.

[@charliehorse5637]

I was suffering chronic migraines for a long time, always praying for healing, I recently remember praying to be led to the right medicine, to find answers, I soon came across some info on supplements to try and now I no longer have chronic migraine, I still get a few but not as many and I've been able to share the info with other sufferers, perhaps that was what I was meant to do? God bless you and lead you ❤

[@mbarris]

I am in need of a hip replacement and am taking pain medication and muscle relaxers until I can have surgery, probably late March. I prayed and prayed for healing. I've fasted and prayed, I've asked others for prayers. I've had heart to God conversations but to no avail. Please pray for my deliverance, as well. I will pray for you. I am born again, baptized and Rapture ready. I can not wait for the day I will never feel pain again.

[@chikachukwuka8112]

@mbarris me too. I can't wait for the day our Lord Jesus will call us home...I will keep you in my prayers...I believe every promise of God in Christ Jesus which are all yea and amen. Whether I see it is up to God, but I choose to believe until it comes to pass or not.

[@chikachukwuka8112]

@Mark_Wolffe Thank you, your words have given me fresh hope. God bless you!
