Early Teens

In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Pastor James Hughes, joining the program all the way from Sydney, Australia. James shares his wonderfully unconventional testimony of meeting Jesus as a teenager drawn to a youth event initially for the promise of “fairy bread” and chocolate milk, only to leave baptized in the Holy Spirit and fully committed to Christ. He vulnerably opens up about navigating intense family friction as a young boy due to his mother being a New Age Reiki master, finding refuge under his grandmother’s roof, and the exact moment God spoke to him in a spare bedroom with the sudden command: “start my church”.

Listen in as James discusses his role leading Dove Gospel, a thriving global network of believers and major ministries stretching from Pakistan to Uganda. He reflects on the realities of managing a flooded inbox of DMs, using a media arm to bring the gospel to unreached communities, and why his heart deeply resonates with the Apostle Paul. If you are wrestling with a difficult calling or struggling to step into the unknown, James’s powerful reminder that God’s plans are always more rewarding than our own will deeply anchor your soul!

Moments will come when you must go low before the LORD lifts you high. There are times you are stretched, and the LORD uses it to refine your character.

At my first defence, no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. – 2 Timothy 4:16–17 NKJV.

None came to defend Paul; even those who believed left him without support. He chose not to become bitter; Paul knew the LORD remained in the midst of the trial and understood that our walk of faith is no crutch for our problems to fade from view.

If Paul was delivered out of the mouth of a lion, Jesus can do the same for you today.

Scripture says in 2 Timothy 3:12 that those who pursue a righteous life before God will be hunted and persecuted, and that regardless of whether you like a battle, we will face it if we are living rightly before the throne of grace.

If you are living authentically, you will face battles, trials and tribulations. If you are living rightly, it will stir up issues; it will aggravate those with an ulterior motive, for those who understand Scripture will know the LORD uses these times to refine your endurance.

Faith is not a popularity contest. If we are being honest, Jesus isn’t popular, because as it says in Matthew 10:22 NKJV, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

Should you find yourself wondering why you are totally rejected by those who allege they believe in Jesus Christ, then let this be the message you need to hear: “Rejection Is Your Direction”.

Even Jesus Christ says in John 16:2 NKJV: “They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever ki**s you will think that he offers God service.”

Opposition comes when you are living righteously before God. Jesus never promised that following Him would make you popular; He warned that following Him would make you a target.

While our walk has a cost, whether it be our church, our family or those around us, these tribulations refine our character as we continue through many tribulations into the Kingdom of God. – Acts 14:22 NKJV.

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, – 1 Peter 2:4 NKJV.

You might be a stone rejected by the builders, but rejection does not remove you from what God is building. “You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house.” – 1 Peter 2:5 NKJV.

Please know that I am praying for you and that you are never alone before the throne.
