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 Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
