Four Commands of Christ - James Ford pt 2

Four Commands of Christ

 James Ford pt 1

How many of you, listening to me right now, when you were born again, you were on fire for Christ? I mean, this was THE best thing ever!  You talked about your Faith at work and with friends. You attended church. If there was a special event or conference coming to town, you were there. It was AWESOME!

Then, life began to creep back into your life. The devil started to whisper, “Is that all there is?” You started to skip the Bible study meetings. Not all of them, but it started. Then came a Sunday when you “just didn’t feel like going…” Then…and then… and then…

Until one day, you just felt like you let Jesus down. You were undeserving. You were, should I say it? “A SINNER.”

Well, don’t feel alone. It happens to everyone. Me as well. Our guest today has experienced that, too.  The only issue is when you allow it to take over your life. When you realize what has happened and don’t do anything about it.

That allows the devil to take the foothold and begin to build a castle in and around your life. You need to understand that and how to combat that. Once you do, then life begins to spring up all around you and in your spirit man – again!  With a renewed purpose and Love – the Love of God! Amen!

James Ford was a carpenter by trade, with no formal training other than a high school graduate. But God had given him talent and natural abilities to be a blessing to others through construction.

He was born again and on fire for the Lord at age sixteen…and immediately had an encounter with the Lord.  But just four years or so later, he left off following the Lord and questioning his Christianity.

Let me just say here, that although John left God, God did not leave John. Amen!

Many years later, James realized God had a mission for him. And was given the mission to share with the world, “The Four Commands of Christ, Disciplines of Faith.” His ministry name is “The Ark Project US.”

John Ford has now published a book by the same name, “The Four Commands of Christ, Disciplines of Faith,” and he is here today to share with us his testimony, his ministry and all about this great book!

Help me welcome to the program, James Ford, author of “The Four Commands of Christ.” James, thank you for taking the time to join us today.

When were you led by the Lord to write and publish this book, “The Four Commands of Christ?”

Your testimony, and mine as well, was basically trying to “find ourself” and our purpose in life. The purpose that God had for us to be born in the first place. Our purpose in the Body of Christ and how we were to serve our Lord.

How do people find their purpose and mission in life?

In your book, you talk a lot about the “Armor of God.” Can you share with us your points on living with the “Armor of God,” what it does and how we are to utilize it?

You can talk to just about any believer today and they all will be in agreement, at least for the most part if they are Holy Spirit filled believers, that we are living in the last of the last days. How do you interpret the Bible in light of the day and time in which we live today?

James, this has been so fascinating. How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The Four Commands of Christ, Disciplines of Faith?”  Is it on Amazon?

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or get more information on your ministry or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, James Ford has written this book under the inspiration and command of the Holy Spirit. He has quantified some very important things into just a few major commands. “The FOUR Commands of Christ.”  Praise God!

You need to drop down into the show notes below, right now while you are thinking about, and click the link right there to order this great book. Your life will not be the same, guaranteed. Amen!  Buy one, two or three copies and share them. Ask you pastor to order enough copies for your next topical study in your weekly Bible study groups. You need the information that is in this book. Amen!

Drop down into the show notes and order your copy today.

About your host

Profile picture for TS Wright

TS Wright

Hello. My name is TS Wright, and I am the voice of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and author/TV host of the God Centered Concept.

For the past 33 years I have been involved in Christian ministry. Ranging from ministry, teaching and coaching in both public and private high schools and college, I have worked with students, athletes and adults from all walks of life. I have been involved with a host of Christian organizations included but not limited to CRU, FCA and other outreach & church affiliated ministries. Also being ordained in Christian ministry and being both a biblical and historical scholar I have focused on Discipleship, Biblical truth, prophecy & historical theology. I have also authored 4 books, a journal and a devotional series which are all now in the editing phase.

In 2003 and 2004 the Lord cast a series of visions on my life as to what would become the God Centered Concept.

In 2016, the Lord called me to start writing.

In 2019, He cast another series of visions that has led me to now.

In 2023, I was led to starting Podcasting and through divine intervention found Pastor Bob. I became a frequent guest speaker on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and being led by the Lord I have taken ownership of the Podcast.

I welcome all of you who are a part of the Kingdom Cross Roads community as well as everyone who is just joining our community as we continue to work to advance the Gospel and spark a Great Harvest. By expanding our message to the NOW TV Network it is our prayer that we can maintain the same level of quality messages and engaging conversations that you have been accustomed to. We thank you for your commitment to this community and we ask for your support and prayers as we strive to glorify God in all that He calls us to do.
