As you will quickly gather...this prophecy update was shared the Sunday directly following the mass murder of movie goers at a theater in Colorado. This wicked and despicable deed is yet another indicator of the state of morality here in the United States. In respect to Pastor JD's wishes, this wicked murderers name will not even be mentioned...but he certainly was demonized.

In these last days that we're living in, it's vitally important that Christians live holy lives. Towards the end of today's prophecy update, Pastor JD will remind us of the importance of holiness in our lives. We'll also be reminded how impossible it is to live a holy life...that is without the power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor JD was just describing the process that takes places during courtship...the beginning is the establishment of common ground. And isn't that what we're attempting to do on behalf of the LORD...court the lost? Shouldn't we begin by establishing what we have in common without any condemnation?

Everyone has a past. Some may have grown up their entire lives in the church knowing nothing else. While others didn't have that privilege. This is why our testimony is so powerful. Religious ideas can be debated. But, a person's testimony can't be...it's an eyewitness account. So, don't be afraid to use your testimony in sharing the Gospel.

One of the glorious truths about our God is that He has made many promises to us. And we can be one hundred percent sure that He will keep each and every one of those promises. Consider your own life, there are things that God has spoken to you that have come to pass...keep those things in mind when considering the things that are yet to come.

The Apostle Paul gives us many examples in the Scriptures as to how we should live as believer's. One of the best examples we see in Paul's life was his willingness to humbly share his past life with those he was communicating the Gospel to. Today Paul recounts his life as Saul to King Agrippa with hopes that King Agrippa would be saved.

Have you ever even heard of a major city declaring bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is for corporations and individuals who get in over their heads, right? Well...that was true until now. Major cities all over the United States are declaring bankruptcy. This is another sign of the times that we're in.

Like most pastors, JD has the opportunity to be a part of quite a few weddings. Today Pastor JD shares a personal testimony about a revelation he received from the LORD while officiating in a wedding. Brothers and sisters...there is coming a time when our engagement will be over and our marriage to Jesus will be complete!

It's easy to get into the bad habit of defending yourself before the world. It seems that the world always has something to say about our faith in Jesus Christ and how foolish it is. The flesh rises up and wants to assert itself against these attacks. Pastor JD reminds us again today to allow the LORD to be the one to defend us.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Good News! However, it's also the bad news. You see, it's impossible to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the lost WITHOUT FIRST sharing with them the fact that they have sinned before a Holy God! They must recognize their need for a Savior in light of their sin.
