I'm so amazed by God. I wrote a newsletter yesterday about going where I didn't plan to go and being blessed by it. Today, I opened an email from Pastor Jackson and read this post.

Faith for Unexpected Paths
Deuteronomy 13:4 (NIV®)
It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.

I don’t know why I continue to be surprised when the Lord leads me down unexpected paths. I guess I’ve thought that somewhere along the way, I would figure Him out and be able to anticipate His next move. Perhaps it’s because of the way we’re introduced to faith. Very early on, we learn the Ten Commandments and think, “Those aren’t easy, but at least we know where the boundaries are.” Once we understand that we shouldn’t do things like lie or steal or murder, we figure that God should pay attention to our needs and wants and how we’d like things done. But that’s not how it works, is it? There are many things about God that we can know—like His Word and His character—but after that He calls us to have faith. He doesn’t call us to have a shallow faith. He calls us to possess a deep faith that allows us to follow Him, revere Him, obey Him, serve Him, and hold fast to Him—no matter where life’s journey takes us.

THINK ABOUT IT
Walking with the Lord on His unexpected paths is an honor and a gift He entrusts to us.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I choose not to doubt or be wearied by following You. Even when I find myself on unexpected paths—I will continue to walk in Your light and truth. It is a great joy to persevere in Your truth because I know my faith in You is growing in my heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson

The prayer in this post is awesome. It is my daily prayer. Make it yours, too. God needs His workers now more than ever.

God-Assignments 2.0
James 1:22-25
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

It’s a very important time to turn our attention to the Lord. Much of the Church in the earth has spent decades accommodating ungodliness. We have diminished conversations about sin, immorality, self-denial, and personal sacrifice. Instead, we have preferred things like self-fulfillment, prosperity, and cultural approval. God has initiated much of this recent season of shaking for the purpose of awakening His people. We’re being disciplined. We’re being prepared. We’re being trained—if we choose to be. If we will cooperate with God, I believe we will be deployed, and we will be given assignments in new ways.

THINK ABOUT IT
Think of someone you know who boldly advocates for God and His purposes. How can you begin to practice those behaviors in your own life?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I offer myself to You today. Forgive me for when I’ve been reluctant, hesitant, disinterested, or indifferent. Have Your way and let Your purposes come forth within me. Give me a new boldness, a new anointing, a new hunger, and a new thirst for righteousness. Let the fear of the Lord grow in my heart as never before and lead me to new opportunities to be a representative for Your Kingdom. I want to be faithful to what You created me to be and do—able to teach, encourage, and strengthen those around me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Blessings,

I'm so glad I put God in charge of my storyboard.
Your Storyboard
Psalm 23:6 (NLT®)
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life.

A storyboard is a series of panels that sketches out a story from beginning to end. Short ones are used for comic strips, and long ones show how a movie should be translated from script to screen. Sometimes we act as if we are authors composing the storyboards of our lives. We imagine the story unfolding, panel by panel, to reach our desired outcomes. But sometimes God’s plan puts a panel out of order or omits it completely. Education, career, marriage, and children are a few of the milestones you may have placed on your storyboard, assuming they would happen just as you penciled them in. But if those things haven’t happened—or haven’t happened when or how you thought they would—it doesn’t mean God has forgotten you. It means that, like David, you are called to depend on the Lord. It means you are called to acknowledge and celebrate His goodness and His love—from the first panel of your story until the day He inks in the last and calls you home.

THINK ABOUT IT
Trust the Lord with your past and present as much as you do with your future. He has a plan and knows how to write your story.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Your mercy and grace, You intervened when I have prayed—and even when I have not. I rest in Your care, and I trust You for what’s ahead because You are writing my story. My dependence is on You, and my security is in You alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Join me in praying the wonderful prayer included in this post.

Joy Is the Greater Goal
1 Peter 1:8-9 (NIV®)
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Happiness is the ultimate goal for many people, but happiness can be hard to come by and even harder to hold onto. Happiness can be worn, but it also can be stained and torn. Happiness can be parked in the driveway, but it also can be dented and wrecked. I’m not opposed to happiness. I want to be happy, and I want you to be happy, too. But my larger goal is to have joy. Specifically, I want to experience the joy of knowing Christ and growing closer to Him every day. As Peter wrote, even though we have not seen Jesus in the flesh, we believe in Him and love Him. As we live for Him daily, we are filled with “inexpressible and glorious joy.” Happiness is a blessing, but I hope your priority will be joy in the Lord because no one will ever be able to take that away.

THINK ABOUT IT
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness …” (Galatians 5:22).

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, forgive me for when I have made life choices based upon happiness, or the lack thereof. Instead, I want to cultivate the fruit of Your Spirit, particularly joy. Teach me how to possess and express joy, no matter my circumstance. I thank You for the joy of my salvation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Blessings,

Here's my post about my Harrisburg, PA, Trump Rally experience. It was wild!

It was Trump’s first rally in PA since the assassination attempt.

10/08/2024

A great message with an awesome prayer.
Remind Us of Your Love
Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

In all of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, there is no attempt to explain why God loves us. It’s just stated as a matter of fact. Despite our rebellion and all our shortcomings, God cares about us. There is a God, and if we will simply walk through our days, reminding ourselves of that, it will give us a hope beyond time, hope beyond disappointment, and hope beyond those places where evil diminishes us—because in the moment, sometimes it does. But there is a God, and He can be known. He created you, wants you to know Him, and He will equip you to overcome the darkness and stand through any trial.

THINK ABOUT IT
Jesus loves you, and that fact can illuminate the pathway of your life, if you will accept and believe it.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and care for me. You knew me as I was knitted together in my mother’s womb. Thank You that there is no circumstance in my life that surprises You or catches You off guard. You have made provision for me to be free, clean, delivered, redeemed, and made whole. Thank You that, through the blood of Jesus, I have been delivered out of the hand of the enemy. Thank You that his power over my mind, body, and emotions is broken. I have been set free. I thank You that You are writing my future, and You hold it in Your protective hands. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson

Fog-Piercing Trust
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV®)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Imagine this: You are driving at night, and the fog is so thick that your visibility feels like inches. Your headlights, instead of piercing the darkness, only seem to create a glow around your vehicle. To make matters worse, you’re dodging potholes that are deep enough to blow a tire. Have you lived through seasons that felt this treacherous? I have. But experiencing those seasons has brought me to the conclusion that God is faithful to see me through them. You may be experiencing one of those seasons right now. It may be a diagnosis that was completely unexpected. It may be a relationship failure that has shocked you to your core. It may be a financial setback that seems insurmountable. But whatever comes, do not turn away from God. Instead of leaning on your own understanding, trust Him with your doubts and fears. God cares for you, and He will be faithful to see you through.

THINK ABOUT IT
When we are the most vulnerable, God’s faithfulness shines the brightest. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, forgive me for doubting You and Your watchful care when I could not see the step ahead. Help me to walk closely with You, in trust and submission, that I readily walk where I cannot see—knowing You guide my steps and keep me from falling. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Blessings,

This is so good. We all have mistakes from our past that plaque our minds.

Pardoned & Joyful
Romans 4:7-8 (NLT®)
“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”

Some of us have made mistakes that we haven’t been able to forgive ourselves for. Words and images loop in our minds like a home video, a constant reminder of things we’ve said and done that we would like to forget but can’t. They trigger feelings of guilt and shame. They make us feel worthless and unlovable. This is the work of the Devil, whose goal is to keep us chained in bo***ge and immobilized by defeat. If you find yourself trapped in this bad home movie, remember that it is Jesus’ righteousness that bought your pardon, not your own. So, when those scenes start playing through your head, remind yourself that yes, that is who you used to be. But Jesus purchased your forgiveness on the cross, and your sins have been not only forgiven but forgotten.

THINK ABOUT IT
Your name is in God’s Book of Life—not because of anything you have done, but because of everything Jesus has done.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus’ sacrificial blood and the opportunity to believe, repent, and ask Your forgiveness. But I also want to mature in You—when I receive Your forgiveness, help me to forgive myself and not rehearse what You have already forgotten. May I be filled with the joy of Your pardon. In His name, amen.

Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson

You have done so much for me, Lord. No wonder I am glad! I sing for joy. Psalms 92:4

Another good one.

Today Is the Perfect Day!
Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV®)
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Many of us are waiting for the perfect day to begin serving the Lord. We wait until we have more money so we won’t have to worry about finances. We wait until we have fewer commitments so we will have more time. Paul was well educated, so we can assume he grew up in a prosperous family. But he also lived through seasons when he was just another hard-working man who earned an income by making tents. No matter his circumstances—whether he had “more” or “less”—he never stopped telling people about Jesus, even after he was imprisoned for that very thing. Don’t wait for a perfect day to arrive when it will be convenient to serve the Lord. Wherever you are today, say “yes” to what God puts in front of you. He will give you the strength to do it and bless you for it.

THINK ABOUT IT
Serve the Lord in the season of life you are in today—childhood, teenage years, college-aged, young adult, or senior years. Yield to God and serve Him with all your heart before your current season passes away.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, in Your great mercy You have called me. I choose to yield and cooperate with You. Grant me understanding so I might serve You today—at this point in my life and in every stage ahead—and walk uprightly before You in all I do. In Jesus' name, amen.

Blessings,

Praying for our kids is so important. Join me in this prayer fro Pastor Jackson.

Across the nation, millions of children are beginning a new school year. Let’s take a minute to pray for them—that God would protect them, lead them, and guide them, and that He would be present in their schools.

Let's pray:
Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the children and for the honor we have of praying for them as they begin a new school year. We ask You to go ahead of them, protect them, and prepare their hearts and minds for all that’s ahead. Lord, we invite You back into their schools—from the daycares all the way up through the college campuses. Thank You that You will give us administrators who fear your name, and who will stand for righteousness, godliness, and holiness. Thank You for the school boards across our nation—that they'll once again be filled with people who have faith in a living God. Lord, forgive us for our distraction and our unwillingness to address the evil being unleashed on the children. We repent, and we thank You for the awakening You’ve begun. We pray our schools will once again become safe places for the children—places where You and our heritage of faith are honored, protected, and revered. Show us how we can come alongside You as You move. We praise You, and we will celebrate the victories You bring.

In Jesus' name, amen.
Our faith belongs in our schools. The teachers and administrators are going to teach the children to put their faith in something, and their lives will go much better if they learn to put their faith in God. We can't afford to be silent with anything less than that.

Let's be diligent to pray for the students and look for ways we can bring God's Truth into the schools in our communities. If we will do our part to turn up the light, God will do the rest.

Pastor G. Allen Jackson

The Attitude of Jesus
Luke 18:11-14
“The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

We must have a heart for the purposes of God in the earth. That’s why we’re here. We’re not here so God will take up our causes. We’re not here so God will just bless us with the things that are on our to-do lists. We’re here to give our lives to His to-do list. God has begun to shake us, awaken us, and stir our hearts. Jesus is our Lord. He is our model. He didn’t come to demand privilege, or position, or power. He came and poured His life out. In fact, in Philippians 2, it says He didn’t consider equality with God something to be grasped, but He made himself of no reputation and, “humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” Our attitudes should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Our assignment is to be obedient.

THINK ABOUT IT
Is there a place where you need to release yourself from pride and embrace humility? Ask the Lord to help you have His attitude in all your circumstance and relationships.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, forgive me for ignoring Your counsel and choosing my own way—turning my back on Your goodness and abundant blessings. I do not blame others for my circumstances; I have walked this path. Where I have chosen pride and indulgence over righteousness and purity, I humble myself in repentance, asking for mercy. I gratefully receive Your forgiveness so the name of Jesus of Nazareth might be honored in all my life. In His name, amen.

Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson

Perception & Identification
1 Peter 2:24 (NASB®)
He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness.

How do you relate to the cross? Perhaps you wear it as a piece of jewelry or include it as a silent signal on your business cards. There is nothing wrong with those things, but I never want to minimize what the cross really is: an instrument of ex*****on. Jesus said, “If you want to be My disciple, you must take up your cross and follow Me.” He never said following Him would be easy or convenient. He never said following Him would be anything but difficult and challenging. However, He said the rewards of executing our carnal nature and following Him would be worth it. When we begin to “die to sin and live for righteousness,” the changes we will feel, see, and look forward to are both simple and profound, immediate and eternal. Let’s see the cross as more than the usual symbol of Christianity. Let’s see it as the place where our freedom from sin was purchased at a great price.

THINK ABOUT IT
“As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died” (Galatians 6:14, NLT®).

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for the mercy of the cross, where You judged and executed my sin. Help me live my life through this truth and Jesus’ blood, which purchased my righteousness before You gave me opportunity for every spiritual freedom. May my identity always be in Jesus—my crucified and risen Lord. In His name, amen.

Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson

We are all tempted.
Dig In & Resist
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT®)
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

It sometimes feels as if this spiritual journey we are on is like a game of tug-of-war. Scripture tells us there are spiritual forces of darkness working against us every day. Sometimes their pull toward ungodliness feels like a gentle tug, and sometimes it feels like a legion is pulling with all their might. As long as we are in this present world, we will feel the pull of temptation. But our awareness of God’s eternal Kingdom—one with joy and fulfillment greater than any this world can offer—helps us to dig in and resist. Some days we may feel as if we are losing our footing and headed toward defeat, but God has empowered us with His Spirit and has promised us He will always provide a way out.

THINK ABOUT IT
Because He is faithful, we should not give in to the pull of temptation, but instead look for His way of escape.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I rejoice in Your faithfulness and the path You have provided to righteousness and complete fulfillment. My life is a testimony to Your power and great love. Direct my steps to a place of triumph and deliver me from every snare. I will rest in the shadow of Your protection. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Consequences of Different
John 15:18-19 (NIV®)
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”

In recent decades, a great deal of effort has been spent trying to convince Christians we should blend into the culture. We've been more concerned about being camouflaged than being conspicuous because of our biblical values. But the truth is, we are called to be different, and we will experience consequences because of that. Jesus could not have said it more plainly: “This is not going to be easy. They hate Me, and they’re going to hate you.” The culture would have us act as if “God is love” is the beginning and end of our story. But we cannot afford to walk among people who do not know God and not tell them the good news of His Kingdom—His values, His expectations, and the good things waiting for anyone who is willing to declare their allegiance to Him.

THINK ABOUT IT
Spending more energy helping people come to know God than avoiding rejection will result in greater spiritual benefit for the people around us and God’s Kingdom.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, You have given me assignments and authority through the cross. Help me discharge those in a way that honors You. Forgive me for when I have not understood or been timid. Give me new awareness and boldness, with a reverence for You that is greater than any fear of man. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The What & When of God’s Best
Psalm 63:3-4 (NIV®)
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

I can say without hesitation that God has been faithful to me throughout my life. When I look back on my journey, I cannot see a moment where His faithfulness has not defined my life story. But I also must admit I have sometimes wondered about His plan and His timing. I have never doubted God’s ability to act or His desire to accomplish what was best for me. But I have questioned why He seemed to be doing it this way instead of that way and working on His schedule instead of mine. I knew what was best and when was best—could He not see it, too? As the years have passed and I can see more of my life in hindsight, it is obvious that He, not I, knew what and when was best. I have learned if I will focus on praising Him and expressing my gratitude for His love and care, I will be more content to wait on Him to direct my life—doing what is best, when it is best.

THINK ABOUT IT
Join the psalmist’s declaration: “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:13-14).

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in calling and equipping me with everything I need for life and godliness. Grant me eyes of faith to see and understand You're moving on my behalf. I trust You with all my days and rest in Your power and provision. I will be confident in Your timing. In Jesus' name, amen.

Hopeful Expectation
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV®)
Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

I hear people sometimes say, “I never expect anything, so I’m never disappointed.” That may feel like a safe way to go through life, but it also means you’ll never have any reason to celebrate or be grateful to God. Expectations and hope are good if they’re placed in God’s faithfulness. Even Jesus had expectations of His Father. Hebrews 12:2 says He endured a torturous death on the cross and disregarded the shame of it because He had expectations of the joy awaiting Him and His place of honor beside His Father’s throne. Hopeful expectation is an important part of every person’s life, and it is a desperate feeling to be without it. For Christians, it is the essence of the faith we have in God—confidence in His ability to save us, in His plans and purposes for us, and our eternity with Him. After all, faith is not confidence in what we are experiencing in the present, but confidence in what He has promised to do in the future.

THINK ABOUT IT
If you find your faith weakening and despair gaining a foothold in your heart, remember all God has done for you and all He has promised to do. That will give you hope and confidence for the future!

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, every good and perfect gift comes from You. I rejoice in Your great mercy and kindness. Thank You for Your provision for my life—no good thing is withheld from those who love You. I turn my heart to You in thanksgiving and expectation, trusting You for complete freedom. My hope is in You! In Jesus’ name, amen.
