I am so grateful for what I have learned today. My prayer is that I can internalize it as much as can. And that can quench my never ending thirst to be closer to him
This is one of my favorite sermons of all time very clear, practical, and faithful to the scriptures. praise God for giving us solid teachers like John piper
As someone who has experienced abuse- this is true for me. Until He delivered me- I was in the dark and all glory to God now I am in His light. Hold fast. He is faithful
It wasn't in God's will for you to be abuse remember that. In God's will he tell us to stay away from sexual immortality. And je told us to keep the commandments. Who ever abuse you was doing the devils will
John Piper is a solid pastor and teacher. Very thankful that we have the ability to view past sermons and expand upon our knowledge with sound Biblical doctrine.
I am so grateful for John Piper and all Pastors who teach us through God's word! I have to start everyday with God to stay in conversation with God all day, feel His peace, comfort, love, and listen for His guidance..
I am touched,thank you Father,am the clay,you r the Potter,mould me and make me to carry your will,bring me to a shape of vessel to be filled with your will,my way maker,your will be done in me and in my family, Lord,I sunrrendered to your will.praise you and worship you my Lord the Savior. Amen.
He's right, it's impossible to go through hideous trials without the knowledge of God's two wills. Losing my son, mother and brother all in succession, on the one hand it's "Why God", on the other "I know He's in charge", if I thought God had no power over it, or like some heretics say "Oh it was Satan', I wouldn't have made it, I lived in the word.
I wish you would teach me.. wow. You are amazing to be so faithful !!! Gosh, i hope i pass my tests too. I wish you were with me to help do it like you did. You have a lot of Jesus in you.
A few months ago I hated Calvinism. I preached against it. I wrote against it. I taught against it - even though I've always loved and followed most things in reformed theology. But one of the things I knew deep in my heart is that I should always keep in mind that I probably have misunderstood and misinterpreted some parts of the Scriptures. Thus, I've always prayed for God to deliver me from every wrong doctrine that I believe. I've always asked Him to help me to see and understand what the Bible really means in every subject. Although I'm aware that even if I live hundreds of years I would stil be missinterpreting something in the Scriptures, because I'm a sinner. However, I've experienced a great work of the Holy Spirit in showing me many things that I hadn't seeing before. It was not a easy process, it even took years. We're a very proud people.. but anyhow, I think and believe that any Christian who TRULY prays and MEAN it (that the Lord may show us our wrong beliefs) He will do it. Probably not all of them but most of them, specially the most important ones. I don't know, I have many many friends (true Christians) who are arminian, even I was one, but believe that way.
Thank you Pastor Pipe im blessed with your sermon im in South Africa pls help me im in that problem of renew my mind pls send me your free material that can help me im not working 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Hello, Bother, I enjoyed your message. Col 1:10 goes with this message. In the God's word version bible it reads, "...live the kind of lives that prove you belong to the Lord...." God bless you. The whole verse says, "We ask this so that you will live the kind of lives that prove you belong to the Lord. Then you will want to please him in every way as you grow in producing every kind of good work by this knowledge about God." The only trouble is when you say it was God's will that a person is afflicted in some way or another. It goes against the teaching of Jesus when He said, Love your neighbor as yourself. It is not God's will that someone is sexually abused. It is God's will that all people not sin. God gives a certain free will that we function in. Outside of that, we find spiritual hurt in some way or another. It is the devil's will is to steal, kill, and destroy. God doesn't plan evil for his children he plans how to deal with it IN HIM.
Does anyone know what the ending hymn is? I think the hymn is a very powerful channel for the Holy Spirit to speak - as important as the sermon - and it's a pity that in our church too the closing hymn is cut out of the recording.
God's perfect will can not be broken but can be amended (to keep it simple) as long as it align with his perfect will. Ex: for us to get married to another believer (perfect will), but he gives us freedom of choice to choose our partners and if who we choose for a partner is not a believer, GOD will still allow it (permissable will) because sex was created for husband and wife not boyfriend and girlfriend
Jesus knows the Father that's why He believes the Father. If you don't know Jesus you will not believe He will answer your prayers. When you know Jesus you know He does not lie and what you ask in His Name you will receive that the Father will be glorified. When I was in bible study in church some of the people told the bible study teacher they used the bible too much. This is the reason why most people in the church love their sin they do not read God's Word for direction and correction. We're created to change the world. To pray that God through Christ Jesus changes the mindsets of people. God who is Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwells in us. The Spirit who raised Christ Jesus dwells in us. We have power over the devil and all evil. These disobedient angels that torment non-believers fear the Spirit that dwells in us. These are the last days the Bible is true how people having a form of godliness but denying its power. I've watched too many videos of those who say they believe God denying His Power. It doesn't matter what non-believers do or think we have the power of The Holy Spirit to pray the Father through Christ Jesus to rebuke the evil in humans so they will no longer be in bondage by the devil. Use your power stop fearing humans and start changing the world with your words. God supplies our needs no one needs to please people to get money God will provide not the government or your jobs. John 15 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. John 8 54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Matthew 7 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ John 6 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” Romans 12: 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Galatians 1: 4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 1 Thessalonians 4: 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 2 Timothy 3 3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
@CoCo Nii If you are seeking God this is a good thing this means God is wanting you to seek Him. It's when people do not care about God's feelings and will allow the devil to use their vessels to bring pain to God's heart. Each time humans allow the devil to use their vessels to disrespect God this grieves God's Holy Spirit. Anything against God will grieve God's Holy Spirit. That is why when we sin against God this hurts our hearts because God's Holy Spirit dwells within us who have asked Him to change our hearts. God has paid a price at the cross for us we are His and we have to give up the lustful world and repent turn to Christ for protection and HE will rebuke the devil & demons they have no right to bother us only when people sin then these people will be tormented until they repent. Listen to bible gateway audio and this will help you change your mindset. The more the word of God is in your mind the less the world & you will not have worries since you will know who you are in Christ Jesus.
the plan of the heart belong to man an the answer of the tongue is from the Lord, will this statement be connected with the power of the verbal confesion ? death and life is at the power of the tongue well specified in the bible.
According to Piper’s theology, everything that occurs, whether good or evil is God’s will, for He ordains all things. Piper is very inconsistent with what he teaches
The dictionary definition of inconsistent is "not staying the same throughout" but he's preached exactly the same message throughout his entire ministry so that would suggest he's been very consistent, wouldn't it.
I am so grateful for what I have learned today. My prayer is that I can internalize it as much as can. And that can quench my never ending thirst to be closer to him

Thank god for your losses as you do your gains and you will find peace and love.
Amen
give thanks even though we are deeply hurt in a painful or unconfortable situation?
Thank you Pastor Pipe im blessed with your sermon im in South Africa pls help me im in that problem of renew my mind pls send me your free material that can help me im not working 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
no one ever lost or no one won without the will of the Lord.
the plan of my heart belong to me a simply mortal man, but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord
that God forbid things he bring about , and God command things that he hinder from happening.

Does anyone know what the ending hymn is? I think the hymn is a very powerful channel for the Holy Spirit to speak - as important as the sermon - and it's a pity that in our church too the closing hymn is cut out of the recording.
Sanctification and using your gifts and witnessing to others...
God's perfect will can not be broken but can be amended (to keep it simple) as long as it align with his perfect will.
Ex: for us to get married to another believer (perfect will), but he gives us freedom of choice to choose our partners and if who we choose for a partner is not a believer, GOD will still allow it (permissable will) because sex was created for husband and wife not boyfriend and girlfriend
Hello. May I know please what is Pastor John version of Bible using.? Kind regards.
I think it is the NASB or ESV.
See www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-bible-translation-does-john-piper-recommend
be renew according to who you are.
there is a higher will which has to be with the season, times and profetical plans and its due fullfilment.
Jesus knows the Father that's why He believes the Father. If you don't know Jesus you will not believe He will answer your prayers. When you know Jesus you know He does not lie and what you ask in His Name you will receive that the Father will be glorified.

I've been studying John what is the will of God
I have to put on my new self ....
anyone can be a studier of Scripture,,, i.e. a theologian as the Bereans of old
God ordain that there would be sin in the death of his son and yet he himself be free of that sin.
God can ordain that sin happens without being a sinner. ( the brutal cruxificion of his son)
God's wish is to be worshipped which is rather curious?
God purposely permit that wich is an element of sin to configure a perfect fullfill plan.
by testing you will confirm the will of God.
in one sence is the will of God in another sense is not that will of God.
HIS VOICE DROPS OFF TOWARD THE END AS HE'S SPEAKING/CAN HEAR/UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS/VERY ANNOYING
According to Piper’s theology, everything that occurs, whether good or evil is God’s will, for He ordains all things.
Piper is very inconsistent with what he teaches
The dictionary definition of inconsistent is "not staying the same throughout" but he's preached exactly the same message throughout his entire ministry so that would suggest he's been very consistent, wouldn't it.
@@HearGodsWord yes
Christ was shot trough with sin.
