Pastor Farag I am sure I speak for many others when I say thank you so much for your weekly preaching, teaching and prophecy updates. For many, you and your assembly are their church they visit on Sunday & during the week and for SOME of us, although we attend our local church, Calvary Chapel, Kaneohe is our on-line church and you are a blessing to us as well. Know that you are LOVED and appreciated more than you will ever know. We will tell JESUS, when we are in heaven, how joyful we were on earth bcz HE sent you and your assembly to encourage us during our walk on earth, especially during these hard times. We LOVE you, dearest brother & CC, Kaneohe; a big “MAHALO” for all you do.
So true Sister Jada. We love him all the way over here in Florida! An awesome Godly man he is!
I love you Pastor JD. God has used you in my life so much. I cannot thank Him enough for you and our Church. Shalom and many blessings to you.
Hi dear brothers and sisters :) How everyone is having a wonderful day ! :) Amen let the love of Jesus just shine through us as He lives in and works through us :) Always esteeming others as higher than ourselves. Supporting and bearing each other's burdens :) Having peace among ourselves, the beautiful body of Christ supporting the weak and patience toward all men! :) Hallelujah! :) God bless you dear brothers and sisters! :)
Amen to that Brother Tony... I love you and pray you have a blessed, wonderful, day...

Amen❤️
I also have had the same problem with Christians condemning me off & on in my. especially since I'm physically disabled they tell me I didn't have enough Faith to be healed completely, but the Lord has used my Disabilities to witness to people. As far as I am concerned. I am normal 😁. I just keep my eyes on the Lord. God Bless Everyone 😇🕊️🦋🌹🙏
"Holier Than Thou." Been there, experienced that. They ought to know better!!!!!
@@lyndajacobs2008 I definitely agree with you 👍. We need to be up lifting & encouraging towards eachother. In 2 weeks will be 53 years in being Disabled. I have been Disabled since birth, but that's alright 😊. I just praise the Lord 🙌 for he has done in my life. You have a wonderful night. God Bless You 😇🕊️🦋🌹🙏
@ThePeaches77 good morning. Thank you for your kind words ❤️. That means a lot to me. It's also been by the Grace of God that I can still walk & do things. How ever difficult it may be. I am also a Stage 4 Cancer Survivor. I have always felt that if I hadn't had all these Health Issues. I wouldn't be able to understand where a person is coming from 😊. I have never been angry with the Lord. When I do get a little down. I will remember to read Psalm 139. That's the chapter I would read before all my surgeries. I still need more Orthopedic surgeries, but I have decided not to go through with them. I have had more then 30 surgeries since 1980. I'm not worried 😁. Because I am in our Lord's hands. Thank you again 😊. I 🙏 for the Lord 🙌 to shower with all his Blessings 😇🕊️🦋🌹
@ThePeaches77 thank you 😊. 😇🕊️🦋🌹
i'm so sorry that happened to you. it happened to me too by my ex pastor. he told me i'd get sick because I didn't go to church enough (at the time I was weaning my way out of that legalistic nightmare called a church). or because i didnt have enough faith. he even went so far as to tell me to my face that I was going to hell because I didn't get to church often enough. nailed me for being 'different' called me the 'trouble-maker' right in front of people. I don't ever recall ever disrupting anything in the church. I still don't know why he said that... it has made me leery of churches and people since... I go to a new church now but I am still struggling in letting anyone get close to me... i'm still hurting. I need prayers... i'll pray for u too. I just don't see why someone can be a Christian and yet be without love.
Yes Pastor your job is hard but you may not realise the peace and joy you bring to each of us who love you. You complete our week you help us make sense out of a world gone all wrong and give us faith in a GOD we cant see. May GOD always help you to go on preaching HIS word. Yankee
yankeecaptain 66 Your comment is enlightening, encouraging and so true. I wonder does he really, truly understand the many lives that he do touch with his preaching, teaching and prophecy updates. Thank you, yankeecaptin 66 for your kind words.
****...THIS WAS A WORD IN DUE SEASON...WE NEED TO COME INTO...ORDER...THANK YOU JESUS...THANK YOU JD. FARAG...🥰🥰🥰...😇😇😇****
Amen. Amen. And Amen! Thank the Lord for this most encouraging word, delivered at just the right time. Very thankful. Maranatha. 😭❤️
I may not always agree with pastors and teachers, but I will always respect and defend them if they are sharing the true Word of God. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel, so we must work together to stop those who would try to ruin the loving, kind church we are a part of. Much love and respect to you, JD, for all you do for us, and the same goes for all my brothers and sisters. May the Lord keep us strong together and bless our pastors, teachers, and minisitries today and in the difficult days ahead
so wonderful ,teaching.God bless you 👆🏼👏🏽🙏🏼

That was a lovely sermon, Pastor JD! I just want to say, although I suspect you hear it often, that I would be thrilled to be a member of your church and call you my Pastor. You are such a blessing to us who attend online. Your love for the Lord and your congregation just shines out of you. Thank you for putting these sermons on YT for us to view. God bless you and your family, and your congregation. ✝️
You’re loved all the way from Canada!
Please pray for Koosha Las Vegas ex-muslim from Iran. He has been street preaching for a while now, but is very depressed. Please pray for Koosha, he wants to go home tonight. He feels so alone, please please pray for him. EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS ❣️🙏😇

Bethel Church could take this sermon and use it as a gaslighting tool.
Love Has Many Functions.
God Bless You Pastor JD.
Oh Pastor my pastor as I’m listening to this you are speaking of the wolves in sheep‘s clothing who point out sins in our lives as punishment from God and what I’m writing about is because I was just praying this morning asking God for the umpteenth time since my stroke this past five years if I have done something to cause him to do this to me. If I hadn’t cried all of my tears out I would be crying right now
I was not raised in the church and I'm not mad about because I feel that the people I have come across seem to have a particular mindset and are a bit judgemental when they have been brought up in church their whole life. It becomes more about religion and routine rather than showing the Love of Christ. I love just having my personal relationship with the Lord but a Church home would be nice, especially since I'm living on my own now.
Nahsia 🙏's Ask JESUS to lead you to a church. It's very good to have that personal relationship with GOD'S people. Not forsaking the assembly. GOD Bless. 😍🎺👆🙌
Wonderful message brother
The church doesn’t do a great job with the chronically ill, we get forgot about after awhile. It’s sad. We need support and encouragement bad. I’m 39 and have been experiencing this the longer I’m sick, 7 yrs now. I’ve talked to many other chronically ill Christians in a fb group, rest ministries, completed a survey about this topic as well in the group and there are many many people like me that have been discarded and forgotten about. It’s hurt a lot of people. We are still alive even if we can’t come to Church anymore. 😔
@Alice Nice A way that you can help somebody is take the meals, offer to clean their house offer to run to the grocery store offered to help them with their laundry. That's what I need help with.
@Alice Nice some of them might be in your own church.you can also contact United way or if they have a old people's club there you can contact them
@Alice Nice I live in Indiana
@Alice Nice I don't go to church either. So I understand where you're coming from. It's just too hard for me to get out with the arthritis that I have, but believe me. I'm having a terrible time trying to get someone to help me and I'm on Social Security disability and I don't have a lot of money to pay somebody to come in and clean. So just pray for me. Thank you so much, cuz I know that you will.
Alice Nice i sent the survey results and talked to 2-3 pastors about it all, did it do any good, was it taken seriously? Idk. We are living in some sad times when it comes to the chronically ill that really need fellowship and suffering. I’m just not seeing the body of Christ step up much. We are discarded and forgotten about like I said. Definitely goes against scripture. Hard to cope with. I’m not sure where the twin cities is? I’m in Illinois though.
We love u pastor as well God bless,you an yours.
The greatest road anyone will ever travel: Romans Road of Salvation
Romans 3:23 KJV “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 6:23 KJV “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 KJV “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 10:9 KJV “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:13 KJV “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 8:1 KJV “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
Romans 8:38-39 KJV “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Behold the father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure, that he would give his only son, his wounds have paid our ransom.. 🙏 🎶
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.. 🎶
how to tell the difference between conviction and condemnation 15:11 🤯awesome!
I love you too
The last gentile to be saved could be pelosi or shift or etc:
Jesus can save anyone.
What about respecting a priest??
J. D. You sitting here listening to your sermon about a loving Church. I'm a 61 year old woman. Who has a 79 year old mother? Who has verbally, emotionally, and mentally abused me mostly all my life. To this day she continues to do. So to me when I try to bring it to her attention, which is mostly all the time. She goes into a fit of anger and rage calls me a list of cuss names and tells me to get out of her house and never comes back. Maybe a month or two will go by and then she'll call me up and want me to do something for her. Well this time it has happened. And this time when she calls me, I'm going to say I'm sorry. I cannot help you. Am I in the wrong? Because all I'm doing is opening myself up to more abuse and I don't feel I should do it. I would really like to get some advice on this. I get older I got enough problems to take care of myself. My health is not good. I've got arthritis through my knees in my hips. When I do try to do things for other people, I'm in pain so much. I can hardly stand it. The abuse that I take from her far outweighs the pain that I experienced in my body, which is much. And I just don't feel it's worth it anymore. All I can do is pray for the woman. Oh And I just want to add one more thing. Not only does she do it to me, but she does it to all my siblings and to my dad to, they seem to enable her but I think I'm putting my foot down this time. I've had it.
Kim B no, you have every right to care for yourself over her. Jesus doesn’t want you to put yourself in harm’s way. Pray for her, forgive her but be strong in loving yourself enough to not allow yourself to be abused. Prayers will be going up for you.
@@Blindfaith77713 Thank you 😔
@@We-Fly-Soon_Sister What did JESUS do? Make it all about JESUS. Wish you spiritual wellness, heart wellness. See you in heaven. 🙏😍💞👆
Hi Kim B. I hope you don't mind my advise. No you are not wrong to say 'I'm sorry but I cant' help you' . The person who is the abuser, has to want to change or no change will happen. Just like an alcoholic must want to stop drinking. Noone can tell him to stop. He wont listen unless he want to. You can just keep praying for her, for a change but move on and take care of yourself. It's not your fault that she is who she is. We can love someone but can keep our distance for our own good. You are worth so much to the Lord. You are precious in HIs eyes. So build yourself up with confidence of who you ARE to Him. I'll keep you in my prayers sister.
@@moovgirl Thank you so much 😔
No one has the right to say those things to someone else who is struggling. Good grief! What is wrong with people! I am so sorry Pastor JD that those people said those things to you. Completely insensitive and ignorant.
