J.D. Farag and family, thank you for reuploading these videos. I have been going through these and watching them. I was not here the first time. The Lord led me to read Job and I thought what a better person to read to me and explain it than you! You read the bible so great! You explain it so I can understand it so well. Thank you.
I just love you Pastor J.D. You come to the pulpit open and vulnerable. You don't put yourself above anyone. You have an open heart and never try to hide your weaknesses. You are rare as a preacher. You set an example for people to relate to and show you are no different from anyone else in trials and temptations. It's sad there aren't more preachers like you. I never miss a sermon you preach. Your knowledge of the Holy Land and customs teaches me as we go. I thank God for you and may God bless you and expand your territory.
Unfortunately Satan has ministers . When a person don't want to retain God and His inspired word in their knowledge .God give that person over to an reprobate mind . They believe all lies . The God we serve He is not an liar . He is not the author of confusion . Sincerely Miss Priscilla , God is faithful and He keep all his word .
Pastor JD Farag, Everytime I listen to your sermons I learn something new. You are blessed by God to be a great preacher. I am so happy I can get your sermons on RU-vid.
Thank you for these messages in Job One of my favorite books During the time I was so far from the Lord, the two scriptures I hung onto with every thing that was in me was, Job though He slay me yet will I trust Him And all things work for good to them that love the God and are called according to His purpose I tried suicide several times My daughter did commit suicide My husband left me I was deep in sin and thought my family would be better off without me and that I wouldn't cause more pain if I was dead I was so spiritually bankrupted, the only thing I could pray was the Lord's prayer from 2006 until 2013 Since then, He has restored my family and a chance to prove His faithfulness! I'm still in rough shape physically but like I told my son in Psalms 119 David said before I was afflicted I went astray Even in our afflictions God is faithful and just to deliver us out of all out trials So I rejoice because if I had not been affected maybe I would have never returned to the only hope and help we have, our faithful Father and our Lord Jesus Christ! And today if I wad able to get around, I wouldn't have time to study and grow in the knowledge of The Lord Jesus! Praise His Holy Name!
I'm so thankful right now as I listen to this Because I’m filled with joy at the thought that God can tell my future and he knew that I wouldn’t curse him that I would continue to praise him after this horrible stroke taken everything from me. I say that not even imagining for a moment that I am possibly at all like Job was however I know that God doesn’t allow anything to happen to me without His approval
Amen !! Everything happens for an reason. Continue thanking and praising God . Studying , mediating on the inspired word of God . Sincerely Miss Priscilla ,
Yes !! I will continue to keep your family and my family before the throne of grace . Unfortunately many don't believe in God the Father through Jesus Christ sealed by His Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15 : 3,4 They are in the dark because they don't want retain God and His inspired word in their knowledge Romans 1 : 16-32 God isn't an liar . He's not the author of confusion. The characteristics of man in the last days 2 Timothy 3: 1-9 , 2Timothy 4:1-5 , 1 Timothy 4:1-5 , 1 Timothy 2:1-7. Have an blessed day . Sincerely Miss Priscilla,
Thamk you Pastor J.D...My husband and I have been watching your videos and teachings we have learned so much..You teach with such simplicity that we understand..I have a prayer request my granddaughter (Becca) had a friend who passed away 4/18 from a heroin overdose she was 19 would have been 20 on 4/22 same age as my granddaughter..My granddaughter has been on pills and has quit but she's so upset over her friends death I just pray she don't stumble backwards..We keep praying that God would change Beccas heart remove her from negative relationships and negative friends..She has lost many friends to these drugs. Please keep her and her friends family in your prayer that this young lady didn't die in vain, But that God would bring good out of her death..thank you Barbara from NC
So much revealed to us about GOD in the Book of Job! By GOD - about the wonder of GOD! Job is a great encouragement to remember "GOD will take care of what I go through. I must take care of how I go through it!" Anonymous
Thank you JD for always presenting such wonderful insights into God's Word. We pray for you and the ministry at Calvary. Maranatha dear brother in Jesus Name.
Great insights JD! was thinking Job is like Jesus’ experience. Long part with God and constant respect n blessings...then came to Earth and was not respected and wrongfully accused is sin he didn’t commit...and part 3 he is an even greater King!
I have difficult time and felt knocked down by Satan too, he seem so powerful. Until I look at Jesus, he came to earth as a conqueror of life but not a defeated. So why we felt that we are losing the battle but not a winner. We are cheated by Satan. We should live the life of a winner like Jesus.
Yes I am Jesus"s and all I do is constant prayer. I know God is good all the time. Its just hard to see sometimes. Tears falling and so much hurt. I just cant wait to see him but I need prayer so much prayer I know we all do
Life changes when I am willing to humble myself, let go "my view" which God want to break down and to see my life in the perspective of God like Job did. To open up my mind to receive more grace from Him. Job build up a close relationship with God but not a distant God that will bless me when I do good. I am sure God is opening a journey to walk with you, Emanuel.
First of all I can't imagine what you are going through and I am so sorry to hear about your situation and I know God' heart I'd breaking to.Try to remember like Pastor J.D. just said He will not give you more than you can handle so you must be a very strong person and I just read in Mark that what is impossible with man is possible with God. I will keep you in my prayers and try and stay in the Word because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Thanks for sharing , wonderful synchronity ... haleluyah ! As i myself like " Job " although a woman am now faced or challenged by Satan as never before ( to get me in self doubt again fe ) ... As i lost the children as well ( not dead yet brutal token away from me by its offspring as i refused to sell or corrupt my soul ) , got rejected by the earthly family , been mocked and humiliated , stalked and had to undergo a nasty smear campaign while every attempt to get or hold a job was a failure , even got countless times been mislead or fooled by wolves in sheepcloths or by pigs in disguise , even my body now disabled ( complex triple hernia , oversensitive nerves ) which is financial not easy to coop with ( as life gets more expensive as a part of the NWO agenda to eliminate x% of the population or to weaken alot as being a beggar by no longer be able to save extra money fe ) as i'm still living alone since my divorce and also due to my spiritual awakening ( activated at 2000 ) whereby the paved Way of the Messiah is the direction /Way of Life i only want and only can follow or walk ... Yet now again severe under attack by Satan in the sense off : well well , where did your stubbornness / praise for your Most High beloved one led you onto ? While the Mighty of them All ( or called " God" by many ) is helping me to get through the very (( narrow gate )) phase as i never shall deny His existence nor lie about my faith/belief in Him nor shall deviate from the Way of Life as how the Messiah came to show us ( even when once awhile i fell into a new trap/pit of Satan again ) nor ever willing to submit myself onto the lifestyle of Satan ( as rather would i die ) not even when he would offer me a palace filled with luxury at abundance at a moment when i almost want to give up this tough process ( Rebirth , Resurection out of the field of death/detachment from the mortal corrupt flesh vessel ) as it is not really for the faints at Hearts ( like climbing a mountain yet the top seems an everlasting unreachable top , lol or to feel like the exhausted little guy " frodo "whom has to throw the wicked Ring into the Lake of Fire )... ! While now indeed The Most High also allowed me to may use the sharp s(word ) towards the earthly family/abusers And comforted me with the same positive vibe which is shared during this sermon and since a few days regular whispered in my ears => THE BEST HAS YET TO COME ... And may sound abit weird yet last saturday i spent some time at the beach , wanted to feel like a joyful innocent and blissful child again like collecting some shells and all of a sudden it was as if i felt the touch , hand of the Messiah and to see His smile while saying ~ You're almost Home ~ Haleluyah !!
Just a thought: When a man and woman get married under God they become one flesh. When God told the devil he could do anything to Jobs health but not take his life, that would mean the devil could not take the life of his wife either-they were one flesh. Another thought; I have never heard anyone talk from Job's wife perspective. Think about this. Women need security. Her children were taken from her and she is also grieving; her home, her goods, her money (security for her) are gone; her husband is out sitting on the ashes all day and she has to take care of him...(and women complain about taking care of a man with a cold-you get the picture)...she is suffering as much as he is in most ways but gets major condemnation for speaking out in frustration. I am not saying she is right but I don't think we give her as much grace as we do Job. In the end, God blesses her as much as He blesses Job. My last thought: Why did God double everything for Job and his wife except the number of children? Because 20 more children would not have been a blessing. hahahahaha (child birth/raising them- really???) Sorry..... OK, God did double the number of Job's children. There were 10 in heaven already and He gave Job and his wife 10 more on earth. So that makes 20 children. Yes, he did double the number of his children.
Amen !! All things are possible with and through our Lord Jesus Christ. All praises , glory and honor unto God the Father through His son Jesus Christ sealed by his Holy Spirit . 1 Corinthians 15:3,4
Saved by His grace through faith in the gift of the sacrifice through Jesus Christ . It is finished. Forgiven of all sins past, present and future . Amen Psalms 46:10
When you see how quickly these flash floods change the topography of the land with just a little flooding...it should open your eyes to the truth of the great flood in Noahs time..The grand canyon etc did not occur over eons of time...God is sending a message to us...He set the boundaries and He can change them...Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,.....He is sovereign and still controls the waters as well.........Will we listen...Isaiah 8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
Blessings to All! As we approach the end of the book of Job and knowing the wonderful and just ending; what are your thoughts on the mother of Job's next 10 kids -same or new wife, and could it be that the new 10 kids were the same 10 souls in new bodies? Just some food for thought. :-)
Where does it say in Scripture that God will only give us what we can handle? I venture to say He does give us trials we can't handle so that we know that only God can handle them and we need to depend on him 100%
