Allen Jackson Ministries

When the Lord returns, the heavens will disappear, the elements will be destroyed, and the Earth will be laid bare. The Bible makes it clear that it’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card for believers—He doesn’t want anyone left behind, and there is work to be done. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses several realities that come with living in the final days. He equips us to make choices that will help us stand firm in our faith and help others to do the same. God strengthens us as we repent, choose to pursue holiness and godliness, and recognize and celebrate all He is doing around us and for us.

When it feels like you are out of options, it can be easy to despair. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses many stories in the Bible where God rescues people out of desperate places, and He promises to do the same for us, as we seek Him. Pastor Allen offers hopeful encouragement from several psalms and provides specific ways we can be strengthen our relationship with God and bring intentionality to our prayer life. We don’t need to pretend we can stand on our own; God knows our circumstances and promises to help us, when we call on Him.

How do you diminish the influence of evil in your life? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers strategies to help us resist the pull of temptation so we can turn our attention towards God and the power He makes available to us. Freedom is found by pursuing and adhering to God’s Truth, being aware but not afraid, and learning how to be filled with the Spirit of God. Pastor Allen discusses this and provides seven specific steps we can take to find freedom in Christ.

God has a unique assignment for each generation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson provides a quick overview of the Bible, showing the different challenges God led His people through and the people He used to carry out His plans. In a similar way, we are called to bring God’s light and truth to our generation, and we need to listen to God and obey as He leads. Pastor Allen discusses how to cultivate discernment and an awareness of spiritual things, so we can effectively follow God, and not be led astray by evil spiritual forces.

Spiritual forces are real, and we need courage to stand up against evil. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of the spiritual world surrounding us, and its direct impact on our lives. As we learn to recognize and follow the Spirit of God instead of evil influences, we will mature as Christ-followers and gain a better understanding of the root of the conflicts in our world. Since our words carry spiritual authority, Pastor Allen provides two powerful proclamations we can speak over our lives: one that declares the reality of God’s protection over us, and another that offers hope and encouragement.

The spiritual battle we face is similar to terrorism. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how terrorists don’t wear uniforms, nor do they identify themselves based on a nationality. Instead, their allegiance is to an ideology. Similarly, the spiritual forces surrounding us either align themselves with Jesus, or against Him. Pastor Allen also discusses the reality of demons, how they seek to influence our thoughts, emotions, and physical bodies, and what we can do to stand against them.

Christ followers often dismiss or underestimate the magnitude of spiritual forces, and how they influence history. Pastor Allen Jackson offers a several examples from the Bible that show the spiritual realm directly impacting the physical world, and how it continues to happen around us today. As we actively draw close to God and His Spirit, we can influence our world for His purposes. Pastor Allen discusses three spiritual practices that can remove barriers between us and the Holy Spirit, delivering us, and those around us, into Christ’s freedom: repenting, releasing, and renouncing.

Do demons and the devil exist? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of the spiritual world, and shows how even strong Christians can be distracted and influenced by evil spirits. Demons and unclean spirits purposely target people of faith throughout the Bible, and they continue to do so today. We are called to be overcomers! Pastor Allen presents three beliefs that can help us navigate the spiritual world: Believe the spiritual world is real; that it impacts your life; and that our spiritual influence can make a difference.

Angels are a part of our lives more than we realize, and Jesus told us they would play a central role at the end of the age. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson examines the appearance of angels in the book of Revelation, and the messages they delivered to the Church. When we take our place and work to strengthen the Church, adding momentum to what God is doing, we join the angels. By raising our awareness of spiritual things, and how our words and actions influence those spiritual forces in our lives, we become more effective advocates for His Kingdom.

There would be no “Jesus story” without the help of angels. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the role angels played in Jesus’s life, and how they interact with ours. Angels are messengers from God. They are mighty in strength, they perform God’s word, and they bring strength and renewal to our lives. Pastor Allen shows us that angels are as real as a virus we can’t see, and just like Jesus, we will need their help to complete our God assignments.

If you consider yourself to be a person of faith, you need to be aware of the spiritual influences that surround you and impact your life. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses angels and demons; the Bible makes it clear that they exist and they influence our lives. Pastor Allen shows how this is good news for those who follow the Lord, since the angels are ministering spirits who are sent to protect, inform, guard, guide, and help us along our journeys.

How do we live securely in an increasingly insecure world? When we place our security in the Lord, we will find the firm foundation we need, and it will keep us from living in fear and anxiety. Pastor Allen Jackson offers practical ways to draw closer to God, which can help build our experience and trust in the sure footing the Lord provides. He also discusses promises from the Bible that can help us rest in God’s provision and protection, no matter what.

When you’re in a battle, you don't quit until there's a victory. As we stand on the frontlines of this major spiritual battle, Pastor Allen Jackson offers this message of encouragement: God is moving! Pastor Allen provides recent examples of God’s movement, then uses Scripture to remind us of God’s ultimate authority; His ability; His presence; His faithfulness; and His love. We've been called to hold God’s place in our generation, and when we seek Him, He will give us the strength we need to persevere.

As God’s people own our place, tell the truth, and stand for what’s right, we find ourselves on the front line of a spiritual battle. How do we persevere? Where do we find new strength? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers encouragement to the weary—God our Father loves us, and He is training us! Pastor Allen reminds us of our value to the Lord, discusses the importance of seeking Him, and offers insight on God’s redemption and His vengeance. By pursuing the Lord, we’ll find the courage and endurance we need to stand firmly on the front line.

How do we seek the Lord? Why is it important to intentionally pursue Him? Seeking the Lord is a practice we see throughout the Bible, and Pastor Allen Jackson offers practical ways we can pursue God through prayer, fasting, worship, reading our Bibles, avoiding evil, and more. As we diligently seek the Lord, He gives us wisdom and insight beyond our own, equipping us for whatever challenges we face.

We are not defeated. The Judge of all the Earth will ultimately determine human history, and He will direct our paths as we listen and respond to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson shows the hope offered by God’s judgement. He encourages us to purify our hearts and eliminate distractions that keep us from following God fully, including failure, inconsistency, discontentment, disappointments, and frustration with God’s timing. As we root out these distractions from our lives, we’ll discover deeper contentment and a more Spirit-filled faith.

It’s time to start a revolution to deliver people from the power of darkness into the power of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers two key strategies that will change our nation: persuading as many people as possible to follow Jesus and strengthening the nuclear family. Pastor Allen discusses the importance of diligently pursuing God, committing ourselves to prayer, and making a practice of repenting, renouncing, and releasing anything that holds us back from God’s best. Our world desperately needs a Jesus revolution, and it begins with us!

A revolution is defined as a transfer of power. God has called the Church to initiate a revolution—not one rooted in violence or politics—but a revolution to help people who have lived under the power of the Devil, to be set free by the power of God. Pastor Allen Jackson lists seven characteristics of God’s unsurpassable power: He’s the Creator, eternal, the Judge of all the Earth, omnipotent (all powerful); omniscient (all knowing), He loves people, and He’s the only God. As we yield to God’s power, He empowers us to impact the world for His purposes.

God describes Himself as “Father,” and Pastor Allen uses Scripture to illustrate why that male descriptor is central to our understanding of God, and our relationship with Him. He also discusses the importance of fatherhood—a role assigned specifically to men. Recognizing that our earthly fathers can cause hurts, Pastor Allen offers insight on forgiveness, and how God can heal the sting of broken relationships and situations. He then offers a list of attitudes we can embrace to show we are maturing as God’s children, giving our best to Him.

After seasons of suffering, discomfort, difficulty, and hardship, God Himself brings restoration—with new strength, greater stability, and a better future. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how God is bringing restoration to our world today, and the role God calls us to play in our generation. He offers a biblical perspective on several issues we face, including the destruction of the nuclear family, censorship, immigration through our southern border, communism in America, the destruction of our economy, and the dissatisfaction and entitlement so prevalent within our culture.

The God we worship is a God of restoration, and when He intervenes in our lives, He restores us to a better-than-new condition. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the reality of God’s restoring power, and the actions we need to take to invite the Spirit of God to work in our lives. Everyone needs restoration—people who don’t know the Lord, and Christ followers—and we need to have the courage to let God do something new in us. Pastor Allen also offers biblical insight on timely topics including gender confusion, riots and lawlessness, and illegal immigration.

People are tremendously valuable to God, and many need help finding their way to Him. The Bible tells us that once we know what we believe and why, our job is to help our neighbors into God's Kingdom. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson sheds light on this assignment. He discusses what Scripture directs us to do to help our neighbors, versus what the world tells us; the difference between compassion on others, versus cooperation with sin; and the importance of humility and mercy, versus self-righteousness and pride. The world needs a heart change, and it can begin with us.

God’s people are battling against discouragement—the loss of courage. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses three common reactions to our current culture. Christians are either pressed and distressed; unaware and unconcerned; or listening and obedient to God. He discusses the differences in these responses and encourages us to personally reflect on where we are, versus where we would like to be. He offers proactive steps we can take to move toward the Lord and refresh our courage, so we can be salt and light to our generation.

Pontius Pilate recognized that the Jews were jealous of Jesus. He didn’t suspect Jesus had done anything worthy of execution, but he didn't have the courage to stand up for the truth—there was too much at stake. Pilate's wavering led to the execution of Jesus. Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the story, encouraging us to be unashamed, unmistakable, courageous, assertive advocates for Jesus. He offers ways to prepare ourselves spiritually, committing ourselves to prayer, reading the Bible, being obedient to God and His leading, and standing up for the Truth we know.

The challenges we face today are less obvious and more sinister than a year ago. If God's people are awakened and respond to Him, we will see His deliverance. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the obstacles we face today and the various responses we see emerging from the Church. He offers ways to shore up the foundations of our faith through Bible reading, prayer, and more, so we are prepared to stand boldly and courageously in the Lord.
