This video came at a time so perfectly orchestrated. I am sleepless, and have been praying and praying for rest. Recently prayed for a man who confessed practicing witchcraft, and have been recieving attacks from the enemy since then. I can't sleep, and my mind keeps me awake thinking about the same person I prayed for. I know these are attacks from Satan, and I can't seem to shake the spirit of fear and anxiety from my mind in the middle of the night, but I know that joy comes in the morning. Please pray for me, YAH bless my brothers👊
…no cancer can grow in us with high doses of melatonin present. Also, there are zero side effects from melatonin since it’s natural. (Watch RUclips videos on it.)
May God uphold you and give you the rest you seek and deliverance from the enemy's attacks. May God save and deliver the man you prayed for unto His Glory. Amen 🙏🏿
Fast and Pray. Don't just sit there and accept your attacks; you must fight back with the Word of God. *Psalm 3* : Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. *Psalm 34* :4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. If you're hungry for victory, you will never give up
Thanks for sharing this. I'm currently in deep pain but your message reminded me that on Saturday and I did for my first time public out reach evangelism and prayed for muslims. I feel so tired and the girl whom the Lord reveled to be my future wife is sick and doesn't have any feelings for me.. I feel so disrespected.. We renew out trust in the Lord by praying even more. We'll keep you in prayers Charles ! please do it for you brother as well as I'm struggling in this war.
i struggle with assurance of salvation every day, and it does keep me up at night sometimes. it drives me crazy and sometimes i will read the bible or a commentary or devotion obsessively because i’m waiting for some kind of confidence. i realize i just need to believe in Jesus’ finished work on the cross to be saved, and i frequently pray “Lord, i believe, help my unbelief.” i know that salvation is not dependent on emotions or my ability to work up faith in myself. creating saving faith is impossible for us. i’m grateful that Christ has shown me he is the only way, and i pray for more belief that his sacrifice and righteousness are truly for me
Hey, just wanted to say, you’re NOT alone in this experience. There are several things that have helped me stay the path and find comfort. Firstly, I find great comfort in the fact that I’m resting on/believing on what God has said/promised in the Bible. Trust what he’s said. Google a list of God’s promises. Secondly, I look at the fruit 🍉 of God working in and through me in my life. Looking at all the things he’s done for you and listing them will encourage you immensely too (I promise this works). Thirdly, read Romans (the entire book). Bank on this scripture as well, especially Romans 10:13. Hope this helps. I don’t like going through this either but as long as we’re alive there’s no escaping the pain of being in the flesh. I think not putting the old man and our old way of living is toxic to our spiritual lives. And the way we feel is a result of this oftentimes. There’s been many many times I found myself thinking wow there’s no way I could be a Christian after doing X, Y, and Z again for the hundredth time. I’m trusting in God though. He said he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins if we confess. PS- God just gave me this verse to further encourage you. Romans 15:4
Also, think of Salvation in terms of a court of law. You’re guilty and can’t pay the fine. Ask Jesus to cover your debt. Cry out to him to save you. Again, I encourage you to read Romans 10.
Hello, I am so sorry you deal with this. I think a lot of people do. I’d recommend reading Acts 1-2. For context, this is after Jesus died, rose again, and ascended into heaven. In acts 2 Peter is preaching to a bunch of people about the gospel of Jesus Christ and they ask in verse 37 “what should we do?” And Peter gives clear instructions to repent from your sins, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins- then they will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. That’s a promise to those people and every person the Lord will call. I followed these instructions in my own life, and when He gave me the gift of His Spirit- there was complete assurance in my life. It was a transformative experience and now I know with 0 doubt that my sins are forgiven and I’m walking in newness of life. I encourage you to take those steps and then seek after Jesus 💜
The yoke of Christ is easy and his burden is light (Mt. 11:10) Brother, if the Spirit dwells within you, God himself will make you stand firm. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. (NIV) God bless you and give you spiritual rest 🙏
How many of us have been that stubborn, hurt, offended, small child who will pout and pout and pout, because we do not know how to break out of that trap. So, God designed sleep to break us out of endless loops like this! I love it!
This is heartbreaking for me. I was diagnosed with narcolepsy in 2014 (before I was Christian). It hit me out of no where and resulted in a medical retirement from the USMC. I know that when God saved me he also delivered me, but I still had my sleep disorder, so it isn't always a sign of a spiritual attack. Regardless, if anyone feels like tossing in a stranger's name to their prayers, I'd sure appretiate it.
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10 Take heart and be encouraged, we all have our weaknesses and thorns in the flesh. 🙏🏼💕
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. There is spiritual warfare in prayer at times I admit but most prayer is praying to Our Father in Jesus name, who loves us and wants to provide for us.
The Lord is coming, the season is now! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!
Isaiah Eli 7.74 thousand subscribers isn't enough for you? You still feel the need to keep advertising yourself, copying and pasting the same words every day for months??? Why don't you just seek to glorify God instead of endlessly promoting yourself and your channel??? Stop spamming posting in all piattaforme Trying to get people to follow you. Stop being manipulative. You know what are you doing. Repent and believe the gospel. All your Rapping music is from devil… Many Christians today who claim to be a Christians, One day they will go all to hell. REPENT and believe the gospel. Matthew 7: 21-23 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. many will say to me, ‘ Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name , and do many mighty works in your name? 'And then will I declare to them, ' I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
This popped up in my suggested videos. God has a special way of putting what I need right in front of me. Last night was the first night in months that I got a full nights sleep. Many nights have been spent attending to clients in recovery housing. Many more recently had been spent getting stuck in the black hole of the internet looking at things I “need”. I need God. He will provide what is neccessary for His plans with my life.
The Lord literally just brought me to this video, because it is exactly what I am experiencing right now. I can see I am under spiritual attack, being unable to sleep, and then going to sleep later and later, and then having a tough next day. I can see how it HAS affected my prayer life-and the repercussions of that. I’m going to pray right now and go to sleep. Thank you Lord 🙏🏻
This video came at a time where I'm feeling defeated and am under attact by satans temptations to stay up late. My prayer life has been destroyed in a matter of days because of it! So I thank God for this message of encouragement and conviction!
Many have their prayer life defeated due to electronics (tv shows, cell phone, video games, social media, Netflix, etc, ). Many are addicted to these things and our prayer lives are dead due to all these distractions
Wow. This is just spot on. I was just on a call with a brother just last night complaining about how fatigued I was both spiritually and physically. And all the brother had to say was "you need to sleep more". I work remotely, and it's mostly freelance so maintaining a balanced schedule has been difficult for the last year. I believe this is the Lord talking to me. Thanks for this message, Pastor John.
"Sustain Your Prayer Life with Sleep" Hmmm kind Sir...I believe one may use your methods, about prayer and sleep, etc. And things will get better... (Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I do believe it NEEDS to be espoused)... ...but I don't think so. IE: I will use my wretched and rotten, sinful self as a template. When I did all the things your pastor preaches; for over 70 yrs. I had NO success. Really! But NO more now. For my life (at age 90 now) is so wonderful; I couldn't begin to describe it. Praise Jesus (who IS the only true God there will ever be). And it all began when I was 75 yr old. When I was dee[y bothered; "Why are there are over 3,500 'Different Denominations, with their Different Doctrines and/or Dogma's", etc! All over the world! And worse: EACH group says, "WE are right and they are Wrong! And We get it from the bible!" Yeah Right!... So Sad, but OH so True. So I finally got on my knees. And cried out to Jesus; about this satan-led "Chicanery" for 2,000 yrs. And I asked Jesus to give me "Wisdom, Understanding and the Truth. The whole truth and NOTHING but truth. AMEN"!. From then to this moment; my life has been turned into a person; believing: "that I am the richest person on earth"; because of what Jesus has given me in blessings. IE: My life is now joyous (even when bad things happen). And I am as happy as can be; and my life is so peaceful now. I can't believe it is that great. Not to mention; that I (not a rich man) have more money than I could ever have imagined; born as a poor person could be. NO debts now; except for my house mortgage. Which is nothing. Since I refinanced it last yr with a 2.65 interest APR, "30 yr fixed"; saving 365 dollars/mos. Which it's now; a whopping interest of 6.00 % APR; and rising every day. May Jesus have mercy! Thus, I pray to Jesus EVERY day. And sometimes upwards of 10 times a day! Really. And I take Jesus with me; with EVERY thing I go and do. And the more I pray now; the more He blesses me with gifts Un-describable. Believe it or not! And I do NOT use the word God. Rather I use His NAME that is Jesus. Praise His Holy Name. The most precious name that will ever be on this Old Earth. Really! And I truly love Jesus with ALL my "heart, soul and mind"! Try it Brethren! It WORKS: if you are really sincere and believe in NOTHING but Jesus! Who is the ONLY "inerrant and Infallible" entity; there will ever be. I Promise! End of Story and I rest me case... ...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
If you guys want to sleep better you should do 2 things: put schedule blocker apps on your tech devices and get a smart light which wakes you up at the same time every day. This helps a lot if you live in a weird climate where the sunset and sunrise is always changing.
This is difficult to embrace. I have bad habits and a brain that is weak to those habits. Perhaps I just need a night shift job, I just don't know if that will fix the situation. Nonetheless God's grace is sufficient.
John Piper, this was your prayer for Donald Trump on Jan 20, 2017: "Until that day Lord, in your wonderful providence, “The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will” (Proverbs 21:1). So, guard him from folly. Guard him from stupid decisions that would damage people, damage America, damage the church. Guard him. Superintend him and the congress in such a way that, beyond their explanation, things turn in a direction that makes for the kind of good that, even though it may not have faith in it, would have the form of faith in justice and love." Thank you, John, for praying this for Donald Trump. The Lord Jesus answered your prayer, and brought us 4 years of brilliant leadership (not perfect, mind you) that the church is still reaping the benefits of (does Jun 25th ring a bell?). Tell me, John: have you ever thanked God for answering your prayer?
@@HearGodsWord I read it, and commented on it. It was fantastic! Look for Paul Hahn (I comment on the site every day ). Do you think, though, that they would say a word now that the Lord has given us this tremendous victory? Or that Piper himself might condescend to to say a word or two?
@@TheCannonofMohammed Desiring God isn't just John Piper. There's nothing new to say in addition to what's already been said. Don't forget there's all of the old sermons and articles as well.
The Gospel: Plain and Simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3 Ask someone today if they are saved and you will most likely hear responses like these: “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually knows the gospel that saves them. These useless phrases don’t describe a thing about what the gospel is and has left a devastating effect of people not knowing what it is that they are saved from nor how they are saved; which leaves a more serious effect of people questioning their salvation. Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salvation that is in Christ with vague church sounding phrases that do not communicate anything. But rather present God’s word with clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel: plain and simple. Sin was passed upon all men by one man Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good works one might do we are still found sinners in the sight of our Creator God. And all unrighteousness and those who follow get indignation and wrath. We cannot be found righteous for by God’s law we are found sinners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even one law we are found guilty. It is for this reason of not being able to create our own righteousness and being born in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus 3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross 2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath and judgement that was intended for us sinners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial, and resurrection on our behalf that we are able to have peace with God and forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good news is unto all but only those that believe in it are made righteous in Christ (Romans 3:22). It is then after we have heard this good news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and we are now part of Christ’s body the church (Eph 1:13) There is nothing that we need to do, no good works that are required, and no bad works that can separate us from our new position in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Faith and belief in this information from God’s word is the gospel. The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your heart. The gospel is not making him lord of your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not being baptized with water. So next time someone asks you if you are saved. Give them the clear assured answer “Yes And let me tell you why Find more free resources at: www.graceambassadors.com

"Sustain Your Prayer Life with Sleep"
Hmmm kind Sir...I believe one may use your methods, about prayer and sleep, etc. And things will get better...
(Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I do believe it NEEDS to be espoused)...
...but I don't think so. IE: I will use my wretched and rotten, sinful self as a template. When I did all the things your pastor preaches; for over 70 yrs. I had NO success. Really! But NO more now. For my life (at age 90 now) is so wonderful; I couldn't begin to describe it. Praise Jesus (who IS the only true God there will ever be).
And it all began when I was 75 yr old. When I was dee[y bothered; "Why are there are over 3,500 'Different Denominations, with their Different Doctrines and/or Dogma's", etc! All over the world! And worse: EACH group says, "WE are right and they are Wrong! And We get it from the bible!" Yeah Right!...
So Sad, but OH so True. So I finally got on my knees. And cried out to Jesus; about this satan-led "Chicanery" for 2,000 yrs. And I asked Jesus to give me "Wisdom, Understanding and the Truth. The whole truth and NOTHING but truth. AMEN"!.
From then to this moment; my life has been turned into a person; believing: "that I am the richest person on earth"; because of what Jesus has given me in blessings. IE: My life is now joyous (even when bad things happen). And I am as happy as can be; and my life is so peaceful now. I can't believe it is that great.
Not to mention; that I (not a rich man) have more money than I could ever have imagined; born as a poor person could be. NO debts now; except for my house mortgage. Which is nothing. Since I refinanced it last yr with a 2.65 interest APR, "30 yr fixed"; saving 365 dollars/mos. Which it's now; a whopping interest of 6.00 % APR; and rising every day. May Jesus have mercy!
Thus, I pray to Jesus EVERY day. And sometimes upwards of 10 times a day! Really. And I take Jesus with me; with EVERY thing I go and do. And the more I pray now; the more He blesses me with gifts Un-describable. Believe it or not! And I do NOT use the word God. Rather I use His NAME that is Jesus. Praise His Holy Name. The most precious name that will ever be on this Old Earth. Really!
And I truly love Jesus with ALL my "heart, soul and mind"! Try it Brethren! It WORKS: if you are really sincere and believe in NOTHING but Jesus! Who is the ONLY "inerrant and Infallible" entity; there will ever be. I Promise!
End of Story and I rest me case...
...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

Jesus paid the price for our sins so we wouldn’t have to! So trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Also repent so you don’t perish!

If you guys want to sleep better you should do 2 things: put schedule blocker apps on your tech devices and get a smart light which wakes you up at the same time every day. This helps a lot if you live in a weird climate where the sunset and sunrise is always changing.
This is difficult to embrace. I have bad habits and a brain that is weak to those habits. Perhaps I just need a night shift job, I just don't know if that will fix the situation. Nonetheless God's grace is sufficient.
Oh… well now

I do not think we are supposed to pray to win battles. I think that praying IS us winning battles. In fact, one can see it as the primary war zone.
Never thought like Thai before
What verses are these?
Maybe you’ve found it already, but it’s Colossians 4:2 :)
Satan is the one who says just on more RUclips video.
John Piper, this was your prayer for Donald Trump on Jan 20, 2017: "Until that day Lord, in your wonderful providence, “The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will” (Proverbs 21:1). So, guard him from folly. Guard him from stupid decisions that would damage people, damage America, damage the church. Guard him. Superintend him and the congress in such a way that, beyond their explanation, things turn in a direction that makes for the kind of good that, even though it may not have faith in it, would have the form of faith in justice and love." Thank you, John, for praying this for Donald Trump. The Lord Jesus answered your prayer, and brought us 4 years of brilliant leadership (not perfect, mind you) that the church is still reaping the benefits of (does Jun 25th ring a bell?). Tell me, John: have you ever thanked God for answering your prayer?
Seems like the majority didn't find Trump's leadership brilliant, but then he's your idol, and a non-Christian to boot.
@@HearGodsWord I don't measure brilliance by majority, that's a fool errand.
@@arcguardian that's nice for you. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Hey, dudes, you guys ever going to acknowledge the end of Roe? Or are you committed to making yourself irrelevant?
You'll find it on their website. I guess you didn't think to actually check first.
@@HearGodsWord Where? I’m not seeing it!
@@TheCannonofMohammed Scott Klusendorf wrote about it. RUclips won't let me post a link.
@@HearGodsWord I read it, and commented on it. It was fantastic! Look for Paul Hahn (I comment on the site every day ). Do you think, though, that they would say a word now that the Lord has given us this tremendous victory? Or that Piper himself might condescend to to say a word or two?
@@TheCannonofMohammed Desiring God isn't just John Piper. There's nothing new to say in addition to what's already been said. Don't forget there's all of the old sermons and articles as well.
The Gospel:
Plain and
Simple
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your
minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3
Ask someone today if they are saved and
you will most likely hear responses like these:
“I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I
have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been
baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good
and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually
knows the gospel that saves them. These useless phrases don’t describe a thing about what
the gospel is and has left a devastating effect
of people not knowing what it is that they are
saved from nor how they are saved; which
leaves a more serious effect of people questioning their salvation.
Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salvation that is in Christ with vague church
sounding phrases that do not communicate
anything. But rather present God’s word with
clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel:
plain and simple.
Sin was passed upon all men by one man
Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin
(Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of
condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of
this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good
works one might do we are still found sinners
in the sight of our Creator God. And all unrighteousness and those who follow get indignation and wrath. We cannot be found
righteous for by God’s law we are found sinners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even
one law we are found guilty.
It is for this reason of not being able to
create our own righteousness and being born
in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus
3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in
the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross
2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath
and judgement that was intended for us sinners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial,
and resurrection on our behalf that we are
able to have peace with God and forgiveness
of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good
news is unto all but only those that believe in
it are made righteous in Christ (Romans
3:22).
It is then after we have heard this good
news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit
and we are now part of Christ’s body the
church (Eph 1:13)
There is nothing that we need to do, no
good works that are required, and no bad
works that can separate us from our new position in Christ (Romans 8:35-39).
Faith and belief in this information from
God’s word is the gospel.
The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your
heart. The gospel is not making him lord of
your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not
being baptized with water.
So next time someone asks you if you are
saved. Give them the clear assured answer
“Yes And let me tell you why
