Getting Past Lasting Setbacks
from The River Audio Podcast with Pastor Jack Holt · host The River
In today's message, Pastor Jack teaches us how to break free from lasting setbacks—those prolonged struggles in areas like health, finances, or relationships—by shifting our focus from blame to the power of God’s Word. He emphasizes the importance of speaking God’s promises aloud, refusing to take back our declarations of faith, and pursuing manifestations of answered prayer that make our joy complete. Using the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda and the parable of the unforgiving servant, Pastor Jack shows us that getting stuck often comes from blaming others or delaying obedience. He encourages us to act immediately in repentance and vision, to stretch our faith over our problems like Elisha did, and to cultivate spiritual ambition that transforms our circumstances. Ultimately, he calls us to believe for tangible breakthroughs and to let our faith outshine every lingering trial.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!
