In Spirit & Truth is the teaching ministry of Pastor JD Farag.

Too often, we let our feelings have too much power over the way we choose to act or handle a situation. Our faith is supposed to be in God and in Him alone. When we’re feeling lost, God is the One we need to turn to first. Today, Pastor JD teaches us to give it to God and allow Him access to change our lives as only He can.

It’s almost impossible to believe that anybody could love your children more than you do, but God does. This should be a relief, in the sense that we are not solely responsible for the outcome of our children. Today, Pastor JD teaches that in faith, we must give to God what we can’t do alone, because He is able when we’re not.

The presence of God in our lives is so important in spiritual warfare, and the enemy knows it! It’s why he will do anything to keep you from spending time in fellowship with Him. In today’s teaching, Pastor JD talks about the importance of God’s Word in our lives, giving praise to the Lord, and asking Him to keep us from falling.

Did you know that, apparently, forty percent of Americans believe that we’re in the last days? Is that not a SHOCKING number? In today’s update, Pastor JD shares with you a New York Times opinion that belittles the notion that Jesus will soon return. Didn’t Peter say that in the last days there would be scoffers?

It’s astounding how many Churches today spend so little time on prophecy or avoid it altogether, especially concerning the rapture of the Church. In today’s update, Pastor JD walks you back through several places in Scripture that explicitly teach about the return of Christ for His bride.

All too often, our culture wants to gaslight us when we question the narrative. They write us off as conspiracy nuts when we don’t accept the status quo. Well, in today’s update, Pastor JD encourages you not to worry when Biblical prophecy comes under attack. It’s just another sign that you’re that much closer to the rapture.

When you’ve spent time in fellowship with Jesus, the level of loss that you feel when you fall away far exceeds any level of loss prior. You start to feel lost, overcome with a sense of defeat, trying to find that sense of peace again. Today, Pastor JD has you remember how you started, in order to find your way back.

Keeping ourselves in the love of God is work, and it’s a choice that we have to make every minute of every day. The enemy will try to entice us and pull us out of His love, any chance he gets. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches us that wherever Jesus is, we should be, and if we can’t take Him there, then we shouldn’t go either.

How comforting it is to know that everything we go through in life, God is right there beside us- fighting our battles, not only with us, but for us! Even in our darkest moments, we are never alone. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches us that God will never bring us to a hard point without bringing us through it.

It seems like everywhere we turn now, we’re being asked to verify who we are. Passwords, codes, scans… the world keeps changing fast. In today’s message, Pastor JD talks about what those changes might mean through the lens of Bible prophecy, and why, in the middle of it all, the simple truth of the Gospel still matters most.

Have you ever looked at a puzzle piece and thought, that can’t possibly fit… only to realize later it changes the whole picture? In today’s message, Pastor JD challenges us to reconsider long-held assumptions about Bible prophecy and reminds us why staying anchored in God’s Word matters more than ever.

We all know what it feels like when a storm is coming. The air changes. The signs are there. And even before the first drop falls, people begin preparing. In today’s message, Pastor JD asks an important question: What if many of the systems shaping our world today are preparation for something much bigger?

When we keep our eyes fixed on the Lord, trusting that He’s working all things for good, we’re able to look at our situations as teachable moments rather than punishments. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches us that the what, the why, and the when are all important in understanding why the Lord allows things to happen.

The enemy doesn’t need full access to our home or our lives; he just needs the foothold of our frustration. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches that one of Satan’s go-to tactics is to cause division within the church. When we begin to gossip, argue, and disagree on things we can’t control, Satan will come in and tear us apart.

I think we can all relate to this! We feel like no matter how hard we work to do the right thing and walk in the way of the Lord, there’s no reward in the end. Today, Pastor JD teaches that God will judge even the wicked. We walk the narrow path, even when it looks lonely, because the reward we’re working toward is eternal.

We’ve all had moments where we were absolutely convinced we were right… only to realize later there was more to learn. It can be uncomfortable when long-held beliefs get challenged. In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that understanding God’s Word begins with a humble heart that’s willing to keep learning.

Most of us don’t mind looking in a mirror, at least long enough to fix what’s obvious. But what happens when God’s Word becomes a mirror and reveals something deeper? Today, Pastor JD explains why recognizing our need is the first step toward receiving the hope and salvation found in Jesus Christ.

It’s amazing how quickly things can change. One moment, the world feels familiar, and the next it’s like someone hit fast-forward. Technology advances overnight, headlines shift by the hour, and what once sounded like science fiction suddenly feels normal. Today, Pastor JD explains why that growing sense of acceleration matters.

Pride is the barrier that keeps us from a right relationship with God. There’s no safe way to allow pride to enter our lives- it brings with it only destruction and conflict. Today, Pastor JD teaches us that some hardships are meant to be impossible for us, giving way for God’s glory to shine, and protecting us from ourselves.

Planting a tree can be a process of preparing the ground, tending the soil, and then planting something that you hope will produce fruit down the road. In today’s teaching, Pastor JD expresses how some things are evident early on – whether they will produce fruit - based on how they begin at the root.

It’s that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you know something is off. The silent alarms that tell you to rein it back, because this person can’t be trusted. Today, Pastor JD teaches you that God has put those feelings there; you’re feeling that hesitation toward uncertainty for a reason. Listen to it!

The world is changing faster than ever before. Technology that once seemed impossible is now becoming part of everyday life. In today’s message, Pastor JD explains why these rapid changes shouldn’t surprise believers, and how Bible prophecy points us not to fear, but to lean into the confidence we have in Jesus Christ.

It’s easy to drift without even realizing it. Not completely walking away, but slowly letting other things take center stage. We can have knowledge, routine, even good things, but not put our attention primarily on Jesus. In today's message, Pastor JD asks us to refocus and to put Jesus back where He belongs, in the center of everything.

It’s possible to know a lot and still miss what matters most. You can study, analyze, follow all the signs, and still lose sight of the center of it all. The real question isn’t, “Do you know what’s happening?” It’s, “Do you know Him?” Today, Pastor JD reminds us that everything in Scripture leads back to Jesus, and He’s what matters most.

Some people think belief is enough—just agreeing, just knowing. But Jesus calls us deeper than that. Pastor JD will explain to you today that faith isn’t just belief; it’s transformation.
