Mr. C the first 15 minutes blew me away from my head to my heart. Awesome! Then when he is doing the steps...the points at the end, #8 and #9. I think it’s one of his greatest sermons he’s ever given. ..think I’ll listen again today!
John Pipe, Thank you for your Great Ministry and your Devotion, Love and Joy for The Sovereign Father and The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit -I- HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH
You were made for such a time. You were personally hand picked. Don't give up! Do NOT give up! We have already won so keep holding on and DON'T GIVE UP! The Devil is working on you because YOU are not his property! Don't listen to the Devil's lies. None of us deserve what we have been given. We all fall short. Not one is good no not even one. Our sins were paid for on the cross. The world hates us hallelujah! Amen! Grace. Grace. GRACE! Hallelujah! John 15:18-19 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Mr c If you think people aren't hated for their religious beliefs then you are so very wrong and ignorant of what happens on a daily basis around the world each day.
@@mr.c2485 any afflictions that we find are present in our lives. God used my drug and porn addiction to help me realize my depravity and absolute need for Jesus Christ. I had to come to the end of myself (almost OD on ecstasy, among other things) to realize that only Jesus truly mattered.
Thank you and God bless you in heartfelt adoration of Christ Jesus who is in you sir. So many have used my repeated tribulations as evidence that I "must not be following God", despite what Jesus and the scriptures say, despite their experience of me only being of love, compassion and seeking righteousness. They don't want to hear the true Word, instead judging people by the Eastern practice of karma. I'm longing for His glorious appearing. Come King Jesus.
Job had the same struggle. His friends were attributing his losses and tribulations to his "shortcomings" in pleasing God. But then God rebuked them and said they are wrong. The concept of God giving and taking away was corrected by God himself.
We suffer the evil age so that we will pray for His return and praise Him when He gathers us on His right and punishes the wicked with terrible wrath and fire on His left.
Blessings to the servant in Pastor John, for he has surely blessed the gracious Lord with his faith, which in turn has sharpened the sons and daughters of man with his works. This channel is certainly appreciated!
Did you hear what was said @ 9:30-9:36? If you missed it, you need to hear it again because it bears repeating. Father, I thank You for the profound teachings of Your Word, as if our Elder Brother Mr. Piper disappeared and Your Living Word was able to preach itself, in all Power, indeed it shall not return to You void. In His Holy Namesake LORD JESUS, Amen. Reach out to someone who doesn't look like you and invite them to your home church. Unify in Christ Jesus, proving the world a liar, only WE, the Church, have unity in diversity as well as the two pillars, Righteousness and Justice and we must not give up either one to be politically correct. Thank You Mr. Piper.
Obedience produces Appointed Affliction and Persecution.. nobody preaches like that anymore PJ.. thank you for tying my heart to the Thessalonians and filling up the sufferings of Christ.. I want to experience all that Jesus is.. Now and Forevermore.. make me worthy LORD..
@@mr.c2485 you must not know the true history of the original buddha.. he left his wife and children to suffer without care while he sat eating and drinking in a lotus position letting the world go to hell.. but thanx for trying.. Hindus are starving to death while cows and caterpillars walk freely down the streets..
Praise the Living God for warriors like Piper Derek Prince Billy Graham and many more who are encouraging rebel Christians to give it up and lived a victory life for Christ Jesus better to die to self then to die when you die physically and you will hear these words from God depart from Me your choice.
The Wrath of the LORD GODFATHER in Christ Fades Away, but HIS LOVE and MERCY Stands Everlastingly.Be Merciful as HE is MERCIFUL.He who Thinks Hell to His Neighbor can not Love His Neighbor.
Abba Father, in complete agreement with this message according to acts 1, romans 5, hebrews 9, galatians 4, luke 19, 1 peter 4, james 5, matthew 24, 2 peter 3, 2 thessalonians 1-3, 1 thessalonians 3, acts 14, romans 8, matthew 3, romans 1, colossians 1:16, isaiah 61 I bind every lie of the devil that I am responsible of saving the world in my life and that of those surrounding me, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ (1 corinthians 15), amen and hallelujah!
It is indeed tempting to joy in the world rather than joy in God: to place the blessings He gives us before Him. That's what the devil wants you to do, for sure. Seek to renew your heart in Him: this is an active thing, not passive. You need His help to do this, you need to do this, and part of you will not want to do this. And, I think, the first two parts of that sentence are there (at least in part) because of the third. Renew your mind in Him: when you enjoy things, seek to glorify Him in how you do so (or, otherwise refrain!). When you work, do it to His glory rather than your satisfaction or merit, and when you suffer push through it and learn about Him and make Him look good. I fail here. Only He is perfect - so seek Him.
. i have been being blessed by god through piper since 2001. Thank you so much piper for being faithful. shout out to barnabus he has my fav podcast. Happy rant😁
He's NOW separating the sheep from the goats...which are YOU???? Decide to be apart of His sheep. He's coming, folks. Da Man ain't playin'...He's coming. And soon. VERY soon. All the chaos, inequality, dramatic changes of weather & fires going on now are the contractions b4 His soon coming arrival. Be with the sheep.
im really tied of 20 years of depression i dont no Gods love i dont feel any think i pray i study the word lisen and read the bible and it just feels i get worse im in bed 2 3 times a week some times just ill all the time Prays please i feel so tied worn out with it
You are not alone! I am praying too... this momentary affliction can not compare to the glory that will be revealed to us in heaven. Let us rest from our own works and enter into God's rest. Read and study Hebrews 4. We must trust the Holy Spirit to move in our hearts and minds at the time He sees fit to lift our afflictions, or bring us to supernatural peace through the increase of our godliness, or sanctification. He has not forgotten you Ian. Your brothers and sisters are here too praying for all the saints, including you. Soon we will be reunited with our Lord, and we will see why all this affliction was endured, and how God used us to bring more glory to His name and ours!
Sounds like spiritual warfare. If you've been genuinely seeking truth in God, the devil or his demons could be trying their best to keep you away from the truth and away from Jesus, I've experienced it myself. The devil only comes to kill, steal, and destroy, he wants to see you hurt and wounded, and knowing you're seeking God will definitely make you a big target. I think I know of a few things that can help you: Living Waters RUclips channel (along with hundreds of their usual interview videos you can look up Ray Comfort's old sermons where he talks about Hell's Best Kept Secret, How to Overcome Fear, the testimonies of Emeal Zwayne and Mark Spence and general questions you have about God and the Bible, they have years worth of content), Marcus Rogers' channel (especially his videos about demonic warfare), Marcus Rogers' music (can be found on RUclips and Spotify), and Torch of Christ Ministries. God bless you, and remember God wants you to be safe, Satan only wants to drag you down as far as he's able to, don't fall for his tricks. I love you and care about you, and so does Jesus. Don't give up on your life - Jesus died to save it :) God bless you.
@@Ianbib1 May I suggest an approach of viewing (Romans 12:1-3) that inner struggle and pain as the road for you, and way God will reach out to you, and how you can freely receive from him and in turn freely give to others? Thus living that message of Christ Jesus death and resurrection, and return?
Brothers, the Lord showed me 2 months ago, an extraordinary vision, regarding the DAY OF THE LORD. I saw myself outside, among the people, and suddenly, an immense light, which encompassed everything, coming from above, of an unimaginable force and power, hit us unexpectedly. At that moment, I didn't have time for anything, I just managed to shout: OH MY GOD! I woke up instantly, and I heard a voice in my head (I knew it was the Lord), which told me: GOAL! And then I told him, remembering that in the BIBLE, it is written that the Lord's Day is a day of great auspiciousness, as it has never been before and will never be again, and I asked Him if this is what we must do, when we see this light. The LORD answered me that that LIGHT is HIM and that our GOAL from that moment, for salvation, is to CRY FOR HIM!! What I can tell you, after this experience, is that the ONLY thing we need is FAITH in the LORD. Believe me, nothing will save us on that day, except HIM! Glory to our Lord! AMEN!!!!!!

Wow this is so deep that Im not sure if im understanding correctly: ill have to relisten. So we are to prepare for God's coming not in a sense of our acts will determine our salvation... But because we should try to be worthy of God's calling of our lives and as bride who waits clean and beautiful for her groom.
"Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us-whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter-asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness." ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words." ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 "Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring-those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. Whoever has ears, let them hear." ~ Revelation 12:17-13:9 "Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” ~ Revelation 21:1-8 "Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love." ~ Ephesians 6:24
So the Great tribulations is first before the rapture Revelation chapter seven is after the rapture of the saints which were before the throne and CAME out of the great tribulations! Revelation chapter 13:7 The antichrist makes war with the Saints and even though Antichrist wins the war we win souls during the great tribulation for Christ Jesus The servant is never greater than the master they beat up Jesus and they are going to beat us up too! All through the world Christians are dying left and right even from the beginning when they were crucified after Nero persecuted them in the Colosseum and they ran for the catacombs Even Noah has a great message that the righteous were saved on the same day the wicked were judged sociology in the coming of the Son of Man we go up and they go down in God’s Wrath
I heard a clip on Desiring God RUclips channel where they upload podcasts, On it Pastor John talks about a question that came in from the listeners about why Jesus didn’t know when He was coming back, being fully God. I really liked and feel it was truth the way Pastor answered. Pastor John’s answer was not what he demonstrated here on this sermon though. I’m wondering if this video is old or the other podcast was old because now I’m confused on this topic. On this sermon Pastor admitted Jesus didn’t know when Jesus is returning and pulled the scriptures to confirm that Jesus privileges were cut. I get that and it makes perfect sense BUT in the other video Piper explained what the world “know” means in the original language (not sure if was originally in Greek or Hebrew) and that the word Know can mean several things. For example when the angel appeared to the Virgin Mary to announce she would bear a Son. Mary replied “how could this be when I haven’t known a man” (paraphrasing). The word “know” is used (in the original text) there differently than how we know it today. Obviously she meant she has never slept with a man. And there’s plenty examples of this word being used differently in through out the Bible. At the conclusion, Pastor John said that when Jesus said “only the father knows …” in that moment Jesus wasn’t saying that He himself didn’t know but that “know” in His sentence … meant that when the Father wants to reveal that, He will. Once the Father is ready to announce that, He will. As was the costume back in Jesus day, only the father of the house can make important things know to everyone officially. Like a wedding for instance. Everyone had hints however it wasn’t so until the father announced it. But obviously the son who is about to get married knew… the household probably knew.. the bride have to have known and her family … so on but it wasn’t official UNTIL the father announced it. So if someone was to approach that young husband to-be and said “are you getting married? I heard” the bride groom would have said I don’t know. Out of respect of the father. That’s just how it was back then out of respect. So both concepts make sense but I just know what to believe as truth now lol
I now understand why the church understanding on the second coming issues are blurd (inaccurate belief) coz there is a veil that needs to be unveil and i already started doing that it just needs time coz its not a literal veil once you put it up you see the groom at the moment. This unveiling is about the accurate truth so the bride can see clearly the groom
Read Daniel 9:24-27 again to jog your memory as to who Gabriel is telling him about. Seventy weeks are determined upon THY PEOPLE and THY HOLY CITY. This replacement theology is incorrect. Thank God for his humble servant John Nelson Darby.
We know the Beast treads down the whole earth and crushes it. He make war against the saints and overcomes them. Unredeemed Jews are not saints. Yes Daniel 9:24-27 deals with the Jews, but the Beast does much more than that to the earth. There is no scripture in context that actually teaches a pretrib rapture.
Upon the Question; "WILL THE CHURCH GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION," The Biblical ANSWER is; YES , We WILL !!! Jesus made it Clear, in Mt.24:14, that "WE the CHURCH, WILL be the Preachers of "This Gospel of the Kingdom as a Witness to all Nations, then shall the END COME". In the Last Four "letters to the Churches", we discover that THYATIRA, SARDIS, PHILADELPHIA, and LAODICEA, are "Prophetic" END-TIME Churches, of the "CHURCH-AGE", of which the first Three, THYATIRA, SARDIS, and PHILADELPHIA, have TWO Different GROUPS of SAINTS in Them !! The FIRST Group, that of the FIRSTFRUITS !! ( generally represents the Tithe , or 10% of the Total ) The SECOND GROUP, that of the "General Assembly". ( and represents the larger 90% of the Congregation ) Now notice; The Firstfruits of THYATIRA, SARDIS, and PHILADELPHIA, are All promised an "Escape" !!! For THYATIRA, ( Rev.2:24-25 ) For SARDIS, ( Rev.3:4 ) For PHILADELPHIA, (Rev.3:10-11 ) However, notice; that the "Hour of Temptation" spoken of in Rev.3:10, to the Church of PHILADELPHIA, Clearly Refers to the coming Future TRIBULATION !! Yet in verse12, Christ is STILL Addressing the Church of PHILADELPHIA , and in particular, this Second Group of SAINTS, that Are part of the "General assembly", and They are Told to be the "OVERCOMERS" that will be doing the PREACHING of "This GOSPEL Of The KINGDOM, As a WITNESS To ALL NATIONS", ( to possibly a World Population of about "four BILLION" people, or about Half of what it is Now ) as Discussed by JESUS in Mt.24:14 !! These are the Same "OVERCOMERS", of possibly more than "ONE HUNDRED MILLION Christians" , that are referred to in Rev.15:2, that will "HAVE VICTORY", Over the "BEAST," His "IMAGE", His "MARK", and the "NUMBER of His NAME". ( The UPC BAR-Code ) that is today used on every Item sold Commercially, that will be Part of the ROTHSCHILDS WORLD Banking Controlled CENTRAL BANK System, of which ANYONE who wants to REMAIN in Their Banking System, will be required to take the "Micro-Chip" implant, ( the MARK of the BEAST ) to keep a Bank account. Yet GOD has Provided a "WAY OUT", for Christians, and Non-Christians Alike, ( those who will be part of the SHEEP NATIONS, that will re-Populate the EARTH, After ARMAGDDON, Mt.25 ) ......Who will HEED Our Warning, and "Get Out" of the Current ROTHSCHILDS "CENTRAL BANK" Controlled, WORLD BANKING System, and Into "CRYPTO CURRENCY", such as "BITCOIN", and Thereby "escape" The coming "JEWISH" BANKING CRACKDOWN, that will Emerge under the Coming JEWISH ANTICHRIST, That Tens of thousands of "pastors" Are "Covering-up", in their weekly Pulpit Sermons !!! So I Appeal to every Bible believer, to examine the scriptures, ad NOT Listen to Such MASONIC HERETICS, as JOHN Mac ARTHUR, or JOHN HAGEE, or JOHN ANKERBERG , or ANY OTHER Such Deluded and Deceived HERETIC, that preaches This FALSE GOSPEL of a "PRE-TRIB" RAPTURE, And thereby DENYING The TRUTH of the Scriptures, As I Present in this my Comment !! And to Understand, that THIS is What Gods Prophets such as Daniel, were Warning about, when in Dan.12:7, the prophet Daniel declared, that; ...."God Would SCATTER The POWER of the ( Un-Holy ) HOLY PEOPLE". ( The ROTHSCHILDS WORLD BANKING EMPIRE ) From which the ROTHSCHILD and UNITED NATIONS, Appointee, the JEWISH ANTICHRIST Will Emerge, together with the Jewish /Lebanese FALSE PROPHET, ( BENNY HINN ) Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )
Would you say the Lord has placed His Torah within your Heart (Jeremiah 31)? Also, what’s your take on the Holy days of our Lord, Adonai...do you observe them and remove the pagan holidays common Christians celebrate?
@@l.h.5489 , .. No, I don't !! Because; ...."The LAW and the PROPHETS Were UNTIL John. From THAT TIME, the GOSPEL of the Kingdom is Preached, and Every Man presses into It." ( Lk.16:16, read it in the KJV ) Which means that the Law and Prophets have "Ceased", and the Levitical Priesthood that "Empowered it" has been "Changed", ( Heb.7 ) and the New Covenant LAW of LIBERTY is now Empowered by Christs Priesthood, according to the ORDER of MELCHIZIDECH !! Furthermore, the passage of Jer.31 is yet Future, and will be fulfilled After the Beginning of the Millennium !! As per Jer.30:6-9, which declares that the House of Israel, which was Given a letter of Divorce by God, and the House of Judah, which Jer.3, describes as more vile than her sister Ephraim, Both fell under that Divorce decree , except for the fact, that God had "Bound Himself", by the Decree in Gen.49:10, that the "Sceptre shall Not depart from JUDAH , until Shiloh come." And so Both Houses of JUDAH and EPHRAIM had Apostatized, and had "Forfeited" their Rights, and Blessings from ABRAHAM , and were Removed from the Covenant inheritance . This is Clearly expressed by the Apostle PAUL, in Gal.3:16, read it in the KJV ) which declares; ...." Now to Abraham and His SEED were the promises made. He saith not, And to SEEDS , as of many; but as Of ONE , And to THY SEED , which is Christ. Kapish ?? Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )
@@sorens70601 Thank you for writing back. I will have to read through the scriptures you referenced and see how our Lord would enhance my understanding by His wisdom and the knowledge of His truth.
@@l.h.5489 You are Welcome !! These Deeper Biblical TRUTHS, are Not known by our modern "Academic Scholars" called Theologians, that are Indoctrinated and Brainwashed in our modern SPIRITUAL CEMETERIES, called SEMINARIES, compared to Us 'older' Generation Theologians that Were Educated "Outside " of the Controlled environment of the Academic Setting, and with a much more intense and Higher level of Education. As such, modern Theology have "Adopted these False Teachings, such as; the "Pre-Trib" RAPTURE Theory, versus the correct Biblical account that; ...."We that are Alive and Remain, will be RAPTURED Together with the DEAD IN CHRIST who RISE FIRST". Which must include the Tribulation MARTYRS, which in itself Designates this Resurrection/ Rapture as an End of Tribulation Time-line !! Which is also Corroborated by Rev.20:5, which states that the FIRST and the SECOND Resurrection are Separated From each other , By EXACTLY "One Thousand Years." ( So Go Figure ) And the Several Misleading "cliche's of LEGALISM , LEGALISTIC, not realizing that the New Covenant encompasses and includes much of the Old Testament Laws, ( including the Dietary Law, as presented by the Apostle PAUL, to Timothy and to the Gentile Church ) As well as the "Cliche" of "REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY", for the CHURCH as being the Spiritual ISRAEL, not understanding the Biblical Fact that just as Daniels prophesied "Seventieth Week" was Postponed, so also ISRAEL Was Postponed as the Leading Nation, until their repentance at the /end of the Tribulation. As by ISRAELS Apostasy, they Forfeited their Rights to Abrahams Covenant blessings, and that according to Gal.3:16, Christ was the SEEED ( Singular ) that Inherited All those Blessings, and as such , when we ( Jews and Gentiles alike ) hear the Gospel, and we accept and believe it, we at that Moment of being "Born Again", become part takers of All the Things that Jesus is, such as becoming the "Chosen" and the "Elect". Also the False "Cliche" of calling the CHURCH , "The BRIDE of CHRIST", is a Damnable Heresy, that Totally destroys the Gospel, !! As the Apostle PAUL makes it Clear that the CHURCH is the "BODY of CHRIST". ( a Masculine Body, and Not a Feminine Body ) PAUL Tells us to "Grow to the Full Stature of MAN in Christ". ( referring to the CHURCH ) Another "Cliche", and falsehood of modern theology, is that of referring to the Biblical FACT of a Previous Social System before ADAM'S Day, which they call the "GAP THEORY", thereby destroying the Truth of thisFact. And all these Different "cliches" were Coined by Jewish Academics, in the IVY LEAGUE Colleges. Blessings, Morgan Sorensen
siam simte music I did. It was all just religious rhetoric. Lots of WHAT to believe....zero HOW to believe it. If piper didn’t have a Bible he would have nothing to say. I wonder if he’s even considered that idea...doubt it.
@@mr.c2485 I'll give you an answer: (Romans 10:17 KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We don't speak from our minds, no, we speak with our mouths, what the heart of God says, that He put in us, and continually feeds us with(that being true, born again christians). It is not cleverness that will reveal to you what he is saying. I have read the bible once through, and some parts many times over, and have gotten more from prayer, and listening to what God says to me through a preacher, than text on a page. That's not what the bible is. The bible is the word (in time past) spoken by God, through people. It's living, it's breathing, and it's powerful. It has changed me. Base parts of me have changed, by God's grace, and the word spoken to me. True Christians believe what is spoken by God, and then act accordingly by faith. I'll say again, the bible is not text on a page, it's the Word of God, which Jesus is called. (John 1:14 KJV) "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." And He died for us, and according to what piper spoke Jesus will be coming back. (Revelation 19:11-13 KJV) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.(12) His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He himself. (13) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And He will condemn all those who have not believed, and those that choose to worship satan, and take his mark, and they will burn alive forever Revelation 20:12-15 ( 12) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. (13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. The message therefore is simple: repent,believe, and follow. To accept Jesus all you have to do is pray something to the effect of "I have lived my whole life for myself, and I don't want to do that anymore. Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, and that you died for me, and rose again on the third day. Please forgive me, and come into my heart." And if you are honest, He will come. God bless you.
Hear God's Word They do like to get together and slap each other on the back. I’ve been to those meetings. No one likes to talk about anything spiritual. They fear the possibility that they might disagree about something. So, the “guest speaker” is little more than a cheerleader.
Xavier son of God My Muslim friends couldn’t agree more. Theirs is not words written on a page either. Same with my Mormon, catholic, baptist, Methodist, etc. friends. You’re going to need more than beliefs and quotes from a book if you expect them to abandon their faiths for yours.
very great teaching sir i only point out this point: 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. Readiness at Any Hour 32 But as for that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. i think he is talking bout the Heavens and erth passing away that day know one knows but his second coming i think he knew it refers to the end of the world . then he goes on about the tribulation days i think. i think THAT DAY FOR THAT THE EARTH WILL PASS AWAY THATS THE DAY ONLY THE FARTHER KNOWS . i believe he knows or els how can he shortend the time at the time of the elect u see for the rest i agree with it all even i just came to know this.
I think you should confirm with the Bible references that Piper has provided within this sharing. Probably, from Matthew 24: 30, we learn that the Day Heaven and Earth passes away is the Day Jesus Christ comes back, and that day as he rightly points out, no one knows, not even Jesus Christ.
What if a born again Christian still struggles with alcoholism & struggles with at times being drunk with drunkards? I just don’t understand why the Bible says that God will come come back while you’re in that cycle of sin and send you to hell but it also says that once you’re saved you’re always saved and going to heaven. How can both statements be true?
I understand your question. Perhaps you can consider reading John 6 as a whole, and Paul's introductory letter to the Ephesians (Chapter 1). But first, from John 3:16, we do know that all who believe in Jesus Christ are saved. But, in John 6, we see a separation of the '12 disciples (John 6:66). The '12 disciples' were set apart to be 'fishers of men', because they believed that Jesus Christ is the 'bread of life' (John 6:68). They believed that the word of God is all that they need and, that the flesh and all its desires i.e. money, drunkenness etc., count for nothing (John 6:63; Matthew 4:4). This leads us to a next set of people, the 'new believers'. 'New believers' know that they receive eternal life because of Jesus, but as they take on the new path of salvation, they discover much more. With 'feeding' daily from the 'bread of life'-Jesus Christ, their eyes are opened to learn great and unsearchable things about God (Jeremiah 33:3). For instance, they get to learn that they can find their whole being in God, and that the world counts for nothing, in comparison to what God has to offer (Acts 17:28: John 6:63). Paul sents a letter to 'these new believers' in Ephesians 1. By believing in Jesus Christ we are saved through God's grace and mercy (Ephesians 1: 11-14). But, there is so much more to 'simply believing' in Jesus Christ, that we can receive the Spirit of wisdom and understanding to know deeper truths of God (Ephesians 1: 15-17). This is too long, but I hope it enables us to understand why the '12' must not be found in drunkenness and carousing when Christ comes back. All who believe in Christ are saved, but the "12 disciples' - the 'fishers of men' they know so much more, they must be found working in the fields. It's no wonder when the prodigal son came back to the Father, the elder son was in the field (Luke 15:25). For the 'elder sons', we do know that God is gracious, but we also know they will be judged more strictly (James 3:1). For me, that's where it gets 'confusing', but even to this, the answers are in the Bible. I hope all this is correct. I hope it helps.
I have a question for all pastor's preachers teachers on RUclips I hear all kinds of teachings I have one question for all of you RUclips teachers preachers and pastors Christians Does anybody love the gospel of John It's called Jesus ministry It's called the gospel piece the gospel of ❤ It's the number one book in The Bible that we should focus on Believe that
If you believe that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from death you will be saved All those who believe in me - though they die - yet shall they live as they have already passed from death to life. No suffering spoken of! He who has the Son has the Father. He who does not have the Son does not have the Father. No suffering mentioned although ones life is one of suffering The Great Tribulation is to bring the Jews to repentance. They are Gods creation to bring forth the Messiah so He will not and has not abandoned them. They were looking for the second coming and rejected the first.
Dont be! There Will be a time when we Will be in Heaven with our Heavenly Father for ever with no pain, no sadness, no sickness... Pain is temporary, Heaven is EVERLASTING!
Concerning the Day of the Lord (His return), and the gathering together to Him (The Rapture): Read 2nd Thessalonians. It is true, that Christians are not appointed to wrath. The wrath of God and the Great Tribulation are not the same event. The Great Tribulation is the antichrist's rulership. For those who go along to get along, to them it will be life as usual. For those Christians who will not, for them it is The Great Tribulation. Christ’s return is to bring the wrath of God, and to destroy the kingdoms of the antichrist, and the antichrist It is written, " Let no one deceive you by any means." It is written, " that day(the coming of the Lord, and the gathering together to Him), will not come, unless The Falling Away(falling away from Christ) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition (The Antichrist), who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." The return of The King(Jesus Christ) and the gathering together to meet Him in the air, are on that same Day. It is written that "the dead in Christ shall rise first, then those who are alive and remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." Read 1st Thessalonians: Before Christ brings down the wrath of God the Father upon all the evil inhabitants of the earth, He takes those who belongs to Him out of this earth, both dead and alive. Those who have ears to hear will hear the Truth. Unfortunately, only a few will recognize the Truth. The Return of The King of Kings, and our rapture up to Him, is the same event. People are being deceived by all means, because they are awaiting a rapture when the world is being set up for the rulership of The Antichrist. Don't you see this one world mindset forming right before your eyes? Let God’s Words be True.
Pastor John i absolutely love listening to your preaching, but allow me one constructive criticism in the form of a question. Why does every preacher ,pastor, etc. believe they are saving souls? When Scripture makes it unequivocally clear we(the believer) have little to do with it and no mention of the preacher. Yet i hear not just you but every pastor take credit. Is this Scriptural and if so where?
“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.” 1 Timothy 4:16 ESV
It’s the hearing of the gospel that plants the seed of salvation that ultimately only God can make sprout and thrive to bare fruit, but if there is no preacher to proclaim the gospel then how will anyone hear it to be saved? It’s clear from scripture that believers do get credit, heavenly treasure, for the seeds they plant that bare fruit.
Jesus told Christians to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. God's Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalms 37:11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus will make sure that God's Will is done on earth as it is in heaven, Matthew 6:9,10! Will you be there to see it? John 4:22-24; John 17:3; Isaiah 42:8!
the man of sin will not be revealed until He that hinders is removed? Does not fit this exposition of a post tribulation setting. There is also Enoch and Elijah to consider. Pre tribulation rapture.
This idea of mountains and valleys is so close to secret knowledge and progressive revelation that I'm hard-pressed to not call it gnosticism... can someone explain this 2000+ year valley to me from a biblically and historically defensible method?
What was a mystery to the Old Testament prophets was revealed by the revelation of Jesus Christ and the New Testament prophets. What was once hidden has now been brought into the open, two thousand years ago. There’s nothing Gnostic about the New Testament.
(our Lord Jesus Christ said)""So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. 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. On that day 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.’ Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it." ~ Matthew 7:12-27 "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." ~ Galatians 5:13-26 "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister." ~ 1 John 3:1-10 "Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" ~ Matthew 16:24-26 "Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:18--20 "Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." ~ Ephesians 5:1-11 "We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did." ~ 1 John 2:3-6 (our Lord Jesus Christ said) ""If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me." ~ John 14:15-24 "But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ-yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." ~ Philippians 3:7-21
Possibly the year, but that's not clear - it definetly could be longer. Jesus Christ himself tells us that the writing is on the wall when the wicked one (anti-christ) claims that he is God in the flesh and sets up an image for the world to worship by force (Matthew 24) Paul says the same thing in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." You'll know its close when these two things happen. Until then I wouldnt lose any sleep.
very great teaching sir i only point out this point: 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. Readiness at Any Hour 32 But as for that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. i think he is talking bout the Heavens and erth passing away that day know one knows but his second coming i think he knew it refers to the end of the world . then he goes on about the tribulation days i think. i think THAT DAY FOR THAT THE EARTH WILL PASS AWAY THATS THE DAY ONLY THE FARTHER KNOWS . i believe he knows or els how can he shortend the time at the time of the elect u see for the rest i agree with it all even i just came to know this.
adam davis if you repent of your sins, accept Christ’s free gift of love, and give your life to the Lord there is hope for you! God is for you and since Christ defeated death on the cross there is NOTHING you can do to be separated from the love, grace, and mercy he offers you. All you have to do is recognize that you are sinful and need a savior to save your life. Praying for you.
Hi Adam, the fact that you recognise your fallen nature is a good thing. Please find a church, find more of Pastor John's teaching on RUclips, learn about who Jesus was, and why He is able to save. I'll try to give a summary, but nonetheless, search deeper into the Bible. Since the fall of Adam, sin has had a hold on human beings. It has corrupted our nature and made us undeserving of God's presence. God however, loved us so dearly. Right from the day of the fall, He made a promise to redeem us from our sin and its consequences. He kept to this promise and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth, to take on human flesh, and live a perfect human life. Jesus left his perfect Divine nature, inhabited a human body free from sin (virgin birth guaranteed this), and lived that perfect life. His perfect life lived on our behalf pleased God, he had no sin, nor consequence (judgement), no damnation whatsoever. Through this, we are made perfect with God. That's one part. On the other hand, he also willing laid His life down as a sacrifice for our sins. The death which we deserve, the hell which you think you deserve for your sin, he paid the penalty for it. His payment was infinitely worthier and greater than every lamb sacrifice that had been done in the past for our sins. With an understanding of this, I urge you to have faith in Jesus, your sin has been fully paid for, you have no place in hell anymore, you are set free. Read up and get to know Jesus better, pray for understanding, and intimacy, and gradually, you will see Him work on you. He will transform your imperfect nature to one that loves and walks in righteousness. It doesn't usually happen overnight, but it does. He will give you a new heart to sin less, and he will blot out your mistakes with his blood. He knows you are imperfect, and his perfect self knows exactly what needs to be worked on in you. You have the promise of eternal life waiting for you, the promise of a new perfect body at the second coming... So fear not, have faith, and watch the Lord do some great work in you. 🙏🏽
Jo' Okk I’m going to hell. I’ve been on anti psychotic medications for seven years and my body and soul is broken. I have sinned sexually. I face death every day, my life is never certain because I have disobeyed the Commandments. Please pray for me because God spoke to me and told me I am most definitely going to hell. I pray it’s not forever. I am scared.
try reading 1rst JOHN. its at the end of your bible right before revelation.😎 I do feel the same way as you sometimes bro. I get it.But you have to fight in prayer readimg your bible and find some church friends👈🏻realest words ever spoken
Where are you getting this from? This either needs to be fleshed out or edited; you may be leading people down the path of works here. Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:8-9 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Accepting and Believing in Jesus Christ saves you from God's wrath. You will follow Christ's commandments if you love him - but it is clear that you are saved from the wrath if you believe.
George Jesus Said..”Obey My Sayings. God Said Obey My commandments. God Gave us commandments to Help us live Good responsible lives. Why would you not want to live Gods commandments? I will stay with Jesus on this one. I have found living the commandments to be the most Helpful and valuable thing in my life. I do not believe in Gods wrath. God gave us commandments because He Loves us. The only wrath that comes is when you disobey the commandments. Your reasoning is crazy to me.
Church is not on earth at the second coming. At the second coming all New Testament saints will be coming with Jesus to help set up his millennium reign where his chosen Jews and church saints and Tribulation saints will live 1,000 years. PTL
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
Mitchell C When Matthew wrote "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come".to whom was he speaking?
@@edwardlongfellow5819 Hi Edward First off Matthew didn’t “write that”, Jesus said it The gospel of the kingdom is for all nations until the end Jesus preached the kingdom The disciples preached the kingdom Paul preached the kingdom
@@mitchellc4 Actually Matthew did write that is written in his gospel and if not him someone of the same ilk. We have no way of knowing what Jesus said. We rely on the scribes to have told the truth but too often the contradictions and omissions found within the gospel give rise to suspicion of interpolation and falsehoods. As for Paul he was a charlatan cut from a cloth of the most devious material.
@@edwardlongfellow5819 Edward if you don’t believe in scripture then we have no debate That is the field If you don’t believe in scripture then I’m not that interested
@@mitchellc4 There is quite a lot of scripture that I believe to be true. For instance we find Jesus advocating the keeping and beating of slaves. In the Old testament we find God recommending and authorising slavery. In addition we find Paul admitting that he is a charlatan, a trickster. However if you accept the scripture that sanctions slavery and trickery or excuses the drowning of people that is entirely your affair.
If Jesus died to pay our sin debt, then he should still be dead. That's the price I would have to pay on judgement day, eternal death. And we wouldn't be required to repent of anything nor crucify our flesh on our own cross. Either he paid or we must pay thru repentance and obedience. There was no blood sacrifice required for the prodigal son to find the Fathers open arms welcoming him back home. Just a repentant and contrite heart. The way it's ALWAYS been. Ezekiel 18. Every man must die for his own inquity Jer 31. The old man must die so the new man can arise. Unfortunately most people have never figured out the gospels were originally written as allegory and later literalized by Rome. The only miracle birth in the bible is the NEW BIRTH and the virgin daughter of Zion is not a woman named Mary.
Our rescue as believers is before the tribulation, the church is not appointed to wrath, The rescue is for the Jews and tribulation saints that do not get beheaded. Amir Tsarfati explains this very clearly in his video ‘the restrainer’ and Jack Hibbs has a two-part teaching called “what you believe about the rapture and why it matters“ our redemption is not dying and going to heaven, it is the resurrection of those who died after being born again and those who are alive and remain to meet the Lord in the air to go to the place he prepared for us, revelation three explains that he will keep us from the hour of trial coming on the earth, check for yourself the church is not mentioned between Revelation four and Revelation 19
so we stand ready to let things get by and allow injustice because you tell me that there will be justice in the future heaven which i dont believe in?
I will pray for your soul brother. Repent. Seek the Lord. Remove those shackles and bondages the devil has put on you. This man is anointed and you call his prayer the work of the devil. Shame on you.
@@pearlz1929 keep your hypocritical thoughts and prayers to yourself please =you have no sincere concern for me, and I rebuke you for not knowing the truth- so just shut up.
okay, i have already reconciled my sufferings now that i am in another realm. i am already there- it is all over, i have no regrets, no vengeance, no desire to get revenge or hurt anyone (except maybe evil leaders)
This man has scripture mixed up. If you’re not careful you can get confused by someone’s interpretation of scripture. But the Bible says scripture is of no private interpretation. The Bible interprets the Bible. And now he is reading scripture of something that already happened. Be careful Christian. Be a Berean and search the scriptures yourself praying in the spirit for God to teach your
I still find it strange when people laugh during a Piper talk - he NEVER tells jokes and doesn't try to inject any humour into his talks, but there is inevitably someone chuckling in the background.
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! The superbowl moment made me very angry.. those men laughing at what he said like he wasn't being SERIOUS!!!!! WAKE UP, SILLY MEN!!!!!
I agree. It was very sad to hear so many men laughing when Pastor Piper called Christians out for watching the Super Bowl halftime show. I pray that the laughter turned to tears when they reflected on what he said.
This pre trib rapture false doctrine is causing the greatest deception in the church. I know Piper doesn’t believe in it!! Most known teachers do! I know it’s not true because Jesus said it isn’t true! In John 6 Jesus says 4 times that he would raise up “all” the Father had given him on the last day! The last day is the end of the age. The “all” are everyone who are the elect. Every person who has been saved by Gods grace through faith from the first day man was created to the last day of the age. Lazarus’ sister Martha told Jesus “ yes Lord, I know my brother will rise again on the last day”. Everytime Jesus talked about his return, about the harvest which is the resurrection he said it was on the last day or end of the age. Hebrews 9 says jesus will return a second time not a second and third! Jesus right before he ascended to heaven said “ and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age. Not even to the pre trib rapture!!! It is a heavy deception that has come upon Christians especially knowing that there is not even one verse in the entirety of scripture that mentions a pre trib rapture. Not one, and I dare someone to show that verse to me ! But to the contrary there are many verses that say the Lords return is on the last day. What are these people basing this false doctrine on? Fictional books like the “ left behind series” . Because scripture doesn’t teach it, Jesus never mentioned it, the early church didn’t believe it! Matt 24- Jesus says his return and the end of the age were at the same time and it was after the tribulation of those days, not before! It’s after the sun is darkened, the moon doesn’t shine and the stars disappear! I truly believe the church has listened to all these last days prophets for to long and I don’t believe these prophets have it right! False narrative. We were warned two thousand years ago that there would be many false teachers and false prophets telling people what their itching ears want to hear! And that many people would be deceived. And the reason for their deception? They don’t study the word of God but take false teachers for granted, they idolize some of these men! Their condemnation is deserved!
The litmus test is not getting perfect the end times theologies. Get Jesus right...and things work out. Piper is weak on the whole END Time theology some would argue. Understanding the FEASTS and Revelation especially Revelation 4.1 is not easy. Personally, if you do not have the gift of prophecy, you should avoid the topic as it is quite complex. Piper's gift is not in this area, he is a pastor' trying to do his thing, which is the right thing for him.
god is judging rightly in my afflictions? i deserved 44 months incarcerated and havent hurt anybody? i have perfect integrity-that i may be considered worthy-okay i get it. i have noticed the respect shown. did i need forgiveness? no, but i am grateful for the respect and the ability to be alive and well.

give up! Do NOT give up! We have already won so keep holding on and
DON'T GIVE UP! The Devil is working on you because YOU are not his
property! Don't listen to the Devil's lies. None of us deserve what we
have been given. We all fall short. Not one is good no not even one. Our
sins were paid for on the cross. The world hates us hallelujah! Amen!
Grace. Grace. GRACE! Hallelujah!
John 15:18-19
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If
ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are
not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the
world hateth you.

No one is hated for their religious beliefs anymore. And.....What do you mean by “don’t give up”?

Mr c If you think people aren't hated for their religious beliefs then you are so very wrong and ignorant of what happens on a daily basis around the world each day.

Only if you’re a child. But you’re an adult with Jesus on his side. You should be rejoicing if and when you feel persecuted by anyone.
We shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus. Trust in the Lord. Not put confidence on man.
Amazing message from a faithful servant of God
OUR AFFLICTIONS GOD USES TO HEAL US FROM OUR WORLDLINESS♥️♥️♥️
Ronna Mora
What afflictions?
@@mr.c2485 any afflictions that we find are present in our lives. God used my drug and porn addiction to help me realize my depravity and absolute need for Jesus Christ. I had to come to the end of myself (almost OD on ecstasy, among other things) to realize that only Jesus truly mattered.
AMEN
@@mr.c2485 the.anal afflictions
A great truth!
I REALLY needed to hear this.
everyone need this!
Thank you and God bless you in heartfelt adoration of Christ Jesus who is in you sir.
So many have used my repeated tribulations as evidence that I "must not be following God", despite what Jesus and the scriptures say, despite their experience of me only being of love, compassion and seeking righteousness. They don't want to hear the true Word, instead judging people by the Eastern practice of karma.
I'm longing for His glorious appearing. Come King Jesus.
Job had the same struggle. His friends were attributing his losses and tribulations to his "shortcomings" in pleasing God. But then God rebuked them and said they are wrong. The concept of God giving and taking away was corrected by God himself.
I’m a new listener, and I’m really blessed by your teaching, God Bless You and your Family and church and friends... and keep You heathy and safe...
In my afflictions I know the Father still loves me.
19:00-33:00 [worthy of His appearing so we won't shrink back in fear, but praise Him in confidence]
We suffer the evil age so that we will pray for His return and praise Him when He gathers us on His right and punishes the wicked with terrible wrath and fire on His left.
Blessings to the servant in Pastor John, for he has surely blessed the gracious Lord with his faith, which in turn has sharpened the sons and daughters of man with his works. This channel is certainly appreciated!
Did you hear what was said @ 9:30-9:36? If you missed it, you need to hear it again because it bears repeating. Father, I thank You for the profound teachings of Your Word, as if our Elder Brother Mr. Piper disappeared and Your Living Word was able to preach itself, in all Power, indeed it shall not return to You void. In His Holy Namesake LORD JESUS, Amen. Reach out to someone who doesn't look like you and invite them to your home church. Unify in Christ Jesus, proving the world a liar, only WE, the Church, have unity in diversity as well as the two pillars, Righteousness and Justice and we must not give up either one to be politically correct. Thank You Mr. Piper.
This man is Apostle & Ambassador for the kingdom of God!! He is the real deal
Amen!!!
No there are no more apostles even piper would agree, to be an apostle u need to have seen Christ bodily, been directly appointed by Christ
Ambassador and steward of the word of God and the gospel of Christ, ofc. But not apostle
God bless you love you brother
Simply Put, he preaches the Gospel with Clarity 🙂

Still has standards to live by revelation 2 and 3 for reference
Abba Father, in complete agreement with this message according to acts 1, romans 5, hebrews 9, galatians 4, luke 19, 1 peter 4, james 5, matthew 24, 2 peter 3, 2 thessalonians 1-3, 1 thessalonians 3, acts 14, romans 8, matthew 3, romans 1, colossians 1:16, isaiah 61 I bind every lie of the devil that I am responsible of saving the world in my life and that of those surrounding me, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ (1 corinthians 15), amen and hallelujah!
It is indeed tempting to joy in the world rather than joy in God: to place the blessings He gives us before Him.
That's what the devil wants you to do, for sure.
Seek to renew your heart in Him: this is an active thing, not passive.
You need His help to do this, you need to do this, and part of you will not want to do this. And, I think, the first two parts of that sentence are there (at least in part) because of the third.
Renew your mind in Him: when you enjoy things, seek to glorify Him in how you do so (or, otherwise refrain!).
When you work, do it to His glory rather than your satisfaction or merit, and when you suffer push through it and learn about Him and make Him look good.
I fail here. Only He is perfect - so seek Him.
Thanks pastor; this is old but still freshier

im really tied of 20 years of depression i dont no Gods love i dont feel any think i pray i study the word lisen and read the bible and it just feels i get worse im in bed 2 3 times a week some times just ill all the time
Prays please i feel so tied worn out with it
I will pray for you brother
Ian I will be praying for your deliverance.
You are not alone! I am praying too... this momentary affliction can not compare to the glory that will be revealed to us in heaven. Let us rest from our own works and enter into God's rest. Read and study Hebrews 4. We must trust the Holy Spirit to move in our hearts and minds at the time He sees fit to lift our afflictions, or bring us to supernatural peace through the increase of our godliness, or sanctification. He has not forgotten you Ian. Your brothers and sisters are here too praying for all the saints, including you. Soon we will be reunited with our Lord, and we will see why all this affliction was endured, and how God used us to bring more glory to His name and ours!
Sounds like spiritual warfare. If you've been genuinely seeking truth in God, the devil or his demons could be trying their best to keep you away from the truth and away from Jesus, I've experienced it myself. The devil only comes to kill, steal, and destroy, he wants to see you hurt and wounded, and knowing you're seeking God will definitely make you a big target. I think I know of a few things that can help you: Living Waters RUclips channel (along with hundreds of their usual interview videos you can look up Ray Comfort's old sermons where he talks about Hell's Best Kept Secret, How to Overcome Fear, the testimonies of Emeal Zwayne and Mark Spence and general questions you have about God and the Bible, they have years worth of content), Marcus Rogers' channel (especially his videos about demonic warfare), Marcus Rogers' music (can be found on RUclips and Spotify), and Torch of Christ Ministries. God bless you, and remember God wants you to be safe, Satan only wants to drag you down as far as he's able to, don't fall for his tricks. I love you and care about you, and so does Jesus. Don't give up on your life - Jesus died to save it :) God bless you.
@@Ianbib1 May I suggest an approach of viewing (Romans 12:1-3) that inner struggle and pain as the road for you, and way God will reach out to you, and how you can freely receive from him and in turn freely give to others? Thus living that message of Christ Jesus death and resurrection, and return?
Saul had a taste of the vengeance of Yeshua! He became our beloved Paul!
Brothers, the Lord showed me 2 months ago, an extraordinary vision, regarding the DAY OF THE LORD. I saw myself outside, among the people, and suddenly, an immense light, which encompassed everything, coming from above, of an unimaginable force and power, hit us unexpectedly. At that moment, I didn't have time for anything, I just managed to shout: OH MY GOD! I woke up instantly, and I heard a voice in my head (I knew it was the Lord), which told me: GOAL! And then I told him, remembering that in the BIBLE, it is written that the Lord's Day is a day of great auspiciousness, as it has never been before and will never be again, and I asked Him if this is what we must do, when we see this light. The LORD answered me that that LIGHT is HIM and that our GOAL from that moment, for salvation, is to CRY FOR HIM!! What I can tell you, after this experience, is that the ONLY thing we need is FAITH in the LORD. Believe me, nothing will save us on that day, except HIM! Glory to our Lord! AMEN!!!!!!

Isaiah 55:11.... ❤
Wow this is so deep that Im not sure if im understanding correctly: ill have to relisten. So we are to prepare for God's coming not in a sense of our acts will determine our salvation... But because we should try to be worthy of God's calling of our lives and as bride who waits clean and beautiful for her groom.
"Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us-whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter-asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness." ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words." ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
"Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring-those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. Whoever has ears, let them hear." ~ Revelation 12:17-13:9
"Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” ~ Revelation 21:1-8
"Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love." ~ Ephesians 6:24
So the Great tribulations is first before the rapture
Revelation chapter seven is after the rapture of the saints which were before the throne and CAME out of the great tribulations!
Revelation chapter 13:7 The antichrist makes war with the Saints and even though Antichrist wins the war we win souls during the great tribulation for Christ Jesus
The servant is never greater than the master they beat up Jesus and they are going to beat us up too!
All through the world Christians are dying left and right even from the beginning when they were crucified after Nero persecuted them in the Colosseum and they ran for the catacombs
Even Noah has a great message that the righteous were saved on the same day the wicked were judged sociology in the coming of the Son of Man we go up and they go down in God’s Wrath
Interesting sermon. 🙌
I heard a clip on Desiring God RUclips channel where they upload podcasts, On it Pastor John talks about a question that came in from the listeners about why Jesus didn’t know when He was coming back, being fully God. I really liked and feel it was truth the way Pastor answered. Pastor John’s answer was not what he demonstrated here on this sermon though. I’m wondering if this video is old or the other podcast was old because now I’m confused on this topic. On this sermon Pastor admitted Jesus didn’t know when Jesus is returning and pulled the scriptures to confirm that Jesus privileges were cut. I get that and it makes perfect sense BUT in the other video Piper explained what the world “know” means in the original language (not sure if was originally in Greek or Hebrew) and that the word Know can mean several things. For example when the angel appeared to the Virgin Mary to announce she would bear a Son. Mary replied “how could this be when I haven’t known a man” (paraphrasing). The word “know” is used (in the original text) there differently than how we know it today. Obviously she meant she has never slept with a man. And there’s plenty examples of this word being used differently in through out the Bible. At the conclusion, Pastor John said that when Jesus said “only the father knows …” in that moment Jesus wasn’t saying that He himself didn’t know but that “know” in His sentence … meant that when the Father wants to reveal that, He will. Once the Father is ready to announce that, He will. As was the costume back in Jesus day, only the father of the house can make important things know to everyone officially. Like a wedding for instance. Everyone had hints however it wasn’t so until the father announced it. But obviously the son who is about to get married knew… the household probably knew.. the bride have to have known and her family … so on but it wasn’t official UNTIL the father announced it. So if someone was to approach that young husband to-be and said “are you getting married? I heard” the bride groom would have said I don’t know. Out of respect of the father. That’s just how it was back then out of respect. So both concepts make sense but I just know what to believe as truth now lol
I now understand why the church understanding on the second coming issues are blurd (inaccurate belief) coz there is a veil that needs to be unveil and i already started doing that it just needs time coz its not a literal veil once you put it up you see the groom at the moment. This unveiling is about the accurate truth so the bride can see clearly the groom
No. No pretrib rapture at all found in the sacred text. It's an idea read into the passages. Please let's let Scripture interpret itself. Amen?
Read Daniel 9:24-27 again to jog your
memory as to who Gabriel is telling
him about. Seventy weeks are determined upon THY PEOPLE and THY HOLY CITY. This replacement theology is incorrect. Thank God for his humble servant John Nelson Darby.
We know the Beast treads down the whole earth and crushes it. He make war against the saints and overcomes them. Unredeemed Jews are not saints. Yes Daniel 9:24-27 deals with the Jews, but the Beast does much more than that to the earth. There is no scripture in context that actually teaches a pretrib rapture.
I enjoyed this.
John the Baptist in the flesh
Nope.
Upon the Question; "WILL THE CHURCH GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION," The Biblical ANSWER is; YES , We WILL !!!
Jesus made it Clear, in Mt.24:14, that "WE the CHURCH, WILL be the Preachers of "This Gospel of the Kingdom as a Witness to all Nations, then shall the END COME".
In the Last Four "letters to the Churches", we discover that THYATIRA, SARDIS, PHILADELPHIA, and LAODICEA, are "Prophetic" END-TIME Churches, of the "CHURCH-AGE", of which the first Three, THYATIRA, SARDIS, and PHILADELPHIA, have TWO Different GROUPS of SAINTS in Them !!
The FIRST Group, that of the FIRSTFRUITS !! ( generally represents the Tithe , or 10% of the Total )
The SECOND GROUP, that of the "General Assembly". ( and represents the larger 90% of the Congregation )
Now notice; The Firstfruits of THYATIRA, SARDIS, and PHILADELPHIA, are All promised an "Escape" !!! For THYATIRA,
( Rev.2:24-25 ) For SARDIS, ( Rev.3:4 ) For PHILADELPHIA, (Rev.3:10-11 )
However, notice; that the "Hour of Temptation" spoken of in Rev.3:10, to the Church of PHILADELPHIA, Clearly Refers to
the coming Future TRIBULATION !!
Yet in verse12, Christ is STILL Addressing the Church of PHILADELPHIA , and in particular, this Second Group of SAINTS,
that Are part of the "General assembly", and They are Told to be the "OVERCOMERS" that will be doing the PREACHING of "This GOSPEL Of The KINGDOM, As a WITNESS To ALL NATIONS", ( to possibly a World Population of about "four BILLION" people, or about Half of what it is Now ) as Discussed by JESUS in Mt.24:14 !!
These are the Same "OVERCOMERS", of possibly more than "ONE HUNDRED MILLION Christians" , that are referred to in Rev.15:2, that will "HAVE VICTORY", Over the "BEAST," His "IMAGE", His "MARK", and the "NUMBER of His NAME". ( The
UPC BAR-Code ) that is today used on every Item sold Commercially, that will be Part of the ROTHSCHILDS WORLD Banking Controlled CENTRAL BANK System, of which ANYONE who wants to REMAIN in Their Banking System, will be required to
take the "Micro-Chip" implant, ( the MARK of the BEAST ) to keep a Bank account.
Yet GOD has Provided a "WAY OUT", for Christians, and Non-Christians Alike, ( those who will be part of the SHEEP NATIONS, that will re-Populate the EARTH, After ARMAGDDON, Mt.25 ) ......Who will HEED Our Warning, and "Get Out" of the Current ROTHSCHILDS "CENTRAL BANK" Controlled, WORLD BANKING System, and Into "CRYPTO CURRENCY", such as "BITCOIN", and Thereby "escape" The coming "JEWISH" BANKING CRACKDOWN, that will Emerge under the Coming JEWISH ANTICHRIST, That Tens of thousands of "pastors" Are "Covering-up", in their weekly Pulpit Sermons !!!
So I Appeal to every Bible believer, to examine the scriptures, ad NOT Listen to Such MASONIC HERETICS, as JOHN Mac ARTHUR, or JOHN HAGEE, or JOHN ANKERBERG , or ANY OTHER Such Deluded and Deceived HERETIC, that preaches This FALSE GOSPEL of a "PRE-TRIB" RAPTURE, And thereby DENYING The TRUTH of the Scriptures, As I Present in this my Comment !!
And to Understand, that THIS is What Gods Prophets such as Daniel, were Warning about, when in Dan.12:7, the prophet Daniel declared, that; ...."God Would SCATTER The POWER of the ( Un-Holy ) HOLY PEOPLE". ( The ROTHSCHILDS WORLD BANKING EMPIRE ) From which the ROTHSCHILD and UNITED NATIONS, Appointee, the JEWISH ANTICHRIST Will Emerge, together with the Jewish /Lebanese FALSE PROPHET, ( BENNY HINN )
Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )
Would you say the Lord has placed His Torah within your Heart (Jeremiah 31)? Also, what’s your take on the Holy days of our Lord, Adonai...do you observe them and remove the pagan holidays common Christians celebrate?
@@l.h.5489 , .. No, I don't !! Because; ...."The LAW and the PROPHETS Were UNTIL John. From THAT TIME, the GOSPEL of the Kingdom is Preached, and Every Man presses into It." ( Lk.16:16, read it in the KJV )
Which means that the Law and Prophets have "Ceased", and the Levitical Priesthood that "Empowered it" has been "Changed", ( Heb.7 )
and the New Covenant LAW of LIBERTY is now Empowered by Christs Priesthood, according to the ORDER of MELCHIZIDECH !!
Furthermore, the passage of Jer.31 is yet Future, and will be fulfilled After the Beginning of the Millennium !! As per Jer.30:6-9, which declares that the House of Israel, which was Given a letter of Divorce by God, and the House of Judah, which Jer.3, describes as more vile than her sister Ephraim, Both fell under that Divorce decree , except for the fact, that God had "Bound Himself", by the Decree in Gen.49:10, that the "Sceptre shall Not depart from JUDAH , until Shiloh come."
And so Both Houses of JUDAH and EPHRAIM had Apostatized, and had "Forfeited" their Rights, and Blessings from ABRAHAM , and were Removed from the Covenant inheritance .
This is Clearly expressed by the Apostle PAUL, in Gal.3:16, read it in the KJV ) which declares; ...." Now to Abraham and His SEED were the promises made. He saith not, And to SEEDS , as of many; but as Of ONE , And to THY SEED , which is Christ.
Kapish ??
Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )
@@sorens70601 Thank you for writing back. I will have to read through the scriptures you referenced and see how our Lord would enhance my understanding by His wisdom and the knowledge of His truth.
@@l.h.5489 You are Welcome !! These Deeper Biblical TRUTHS, are Not known by our modern "Academic Scholars" called Theologians, that are Indoctrinated and Brainwashed in our modern SPIRITUAL CEMETERIES, called SEMINARIES, compared to Us 'older' Generation Theologians that Were Educated "Outside " of the Controlled environment of the Academic Setting, and with a much more intense and Higher level of Education.
As such, modern Theology have "Adopted these False Teachings, such as; the "Pre-Trib" RAPTURE Theory, versus the correct Biblical account that; ...."We that are Alive and Remain, will be RAPTURED Together with the DEAD IN CHRIST who RISE FIRST". Which must include the Tribulation MARTYRS, which in itself Designates this Resurrection/ Rapture as an End of Tribulation Time-line !!
Which is also Corroborated by Rev.20:5, which states that the FIRST and the SECOND Resurrection are Separated From each other , By EXACTLY "One Thousand Years." ( So Go Figure )
And the Several Misleading "cliche's of LEGALISM , LEGALISTIC, not realizing that the New Covenant encompasses and includes much of the Old Testament Laws, ( including the Dietary Law, as presented by the Apostle PAUL, to Timothy and to the Gentile Church )
As well as the "Cliche" of "REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY", for the CHURCH as being the Spiritual ISRAEL, not understanding the Biblical Fact that just as Daniels prophesied "Seventieth Week" was Postponed, so also ISRAEL Was Postponed as the Leading Nation, until their repentance at the /end of the Tribulation. As by ISRAELS Apostasy, they Forfeited their Rights to Abrahams Covenant blessings, and that according to Gal.3:16, Christ was the SEEED ( Singular ) that Inherited All those Blessings, and as such , when we ( Jews and Gentiles alike ) hear the Gospel, and we accept and believe it, we at that Moment of being "Born Again", become part takers of All the Things that Jesus is, such as becoming the "Chosen" and the "Elect".
Also the False "Cliche" of calling the CHURCH , "The BRIDE of CHRIST", is a Damnable Heresy, that Totally destroys the Gospel, !!
As the Apostle PAUL makes it Clear that the CHURCH is the "BODY of CHRIST". ( a Masculine Body, and Not a Feminine Body ) PAUL Tells us to "Grow to the Full Stature of MAN in Christ". ( referring to the CHURCH )
Another "Cliche", and falsehood of modern theology, is that of referring to the Biblical FACT of a Previous Social System before ADAM'S Day, which they call the "GAP THEORY", thereby destroying the Truth of thisFact. And all these Different "cliches" were Coined by Jewish Academics, in the IVY LEAGUE Colleges.
Blessings, Morgan Sorensen

I did. It was all just religious rhetoric. Lots of WHAT to believe....zero HOW to believe it. If piper didn’t have a Bible he would have nothing to say. I wonder if he’s even considered that idea...doubt it.
@@mr.c2485 I'll give you an answer:
(Romans 10:17 KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We don't speak from our minds, no, we speak with our mouths, what the heart of God says, that He put in us, and continually feeds us with(that being true, born again christians).
It is not cleverness that will reveal to you what he is saying.
I have read the bible once through, and some parts many times over, and have gotten more from prayer, and listening to what God says to me through a preacher, than text on a page. That's not what the bible is.
The bible is the word (in time past) spoken by God, through people. It's living, it's breathing, and it's powerful. It has changed me. Base parts of me have changed, by God's grace, and the word spoken to me. True Christians believe what is spoken by God, and then act accordingly by faith.
I'll say again, the bible is not text on a page, it's the Word of God, which Jesus is called.
(John 1:14 KJV) "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." And He died for us, and according to what piper spoke Jesus will be coming back.
(Revelation 19:11-13 KJV) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.(12) His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He himself.
(13) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And He will condemn all those who have not believed, and those that choose to worship satan, and take his mark, and they will burn alive forever
Revelation 20:12-15 ( 12) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
(13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
(14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The message therefore is simple: repent,believe, and follow.
To accept Jesus all you have to do is pray something to the effect of "I have lived my whole life for myself, and I don't want to do that anymore. Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, and that you died for me, and rose again on the third day. Please forgive me, and come into my heart." And if you are honest, He will come. God bless you.
Mr c this video was a pastor talking to pastors so I think they've got a pretty good idea already.
Hear God's Word
They do like to get together and slap each other on the back. I’ve been to those meetings. No one likes to talk about anything spiritual. They fear the possibility that they might disagree about something. So, the “guest speaker” is little more than a cheerleader.
Xavier son of God
My Muslim friends couldn’t agree more. Theirs is not words written on a page either. Same with my Mormon, catholic, baptist, Methodist, etc. friends. You’re going to need more than beliefs and quotes from a book if you expect them to abandon their faiths for yours.
very great teaching sir i only point out this point:
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Readiness at Any Hour
32 But as for that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
i think he is talking bout the Heavens and erth passing away that day know one knows but his second coming i think he knew it refers to the end of the world . then he goes on about the tribulation days i think. i think THAT DAY FOR THAT THE EARTH WILL PASS AWAY THATS THE DAY ONLY THE FARTHER KNOWS . i believe he knows or els how can he shortend the time at the time of the elect u see for the rest i agree with it all even i just came to know this.
I think you should confirm with the Bible references that Piper has provided within this sharing. Probably, from Matthew 24: 30, we learn that the Day Heaven and Earth passes away is the Day Jesus Christ comes back, and that day as he rightly points out, no one knows, not even Jesus Christ.
Main text exposition begins at 18:03 (2 Thessalonians 1)
What if a born again Christian still struggles with alcoholism & struggles with at times being drunk with drunkards? I just don’t understand why the Bible says that God will come come back while you’re in that cycle of sin and send you to hell but it also says that once you’re saved you’re always saved and going to heaven. How can both statements be true?
I understand your question. Perhaps you can consider reading John 6 as a whole, and Paul's introductory letter to the Ephesians (Chapter 1).
But first, from John 3:16, we do know that all who believe in Jesus Christ are saved.
But, in John 6, we see a separation of the '12 disciples (John 6:66). The '12 disciples' were set apart to be 'fishers of men', because they believed that Jesus Christ is the 'bread of life' (John 6:68). They believed that the word of God is all that they need and, that the flesh and all its desires i.e. money, drunkenness etc., count for nothing (John 6:63; Matthew 4:4).
This leads us to a next set of people, the 'new believers'. 'New believers' know that they receive eternal life because of Jesus, but as they take on the new path of salvation, they discover much more. With 'feeding' daily from the 'bread of life'-Jesus Christ, their eyes are opened to learn great and unsearchable things about God (Jeremiah 33:3). For instance, they get to learn that they can find their whole being in God, and that the world counts for nothing, in comparison to what God has to offer (Acts 17:28: John 6:63).
Paul sents a letter to 'these new believers' in Ephesians 1. By believing in Jesus Christ we are saved through God's grace and mercy (Ephesians 1: 11-14). But, there is so much more to 'simply believing' in Jesus Christ, that we can receive the Spirit of wisdom and understanding to know deeper truths of God (Ephesians 1: 15-17).
This is too long, but I hope it enables us to understand why the '12' must not be found in drunkenness and carousing when Christ comes back.
All who believe in Christ are saved, but the "12 disciples' - the 'fishers of men' they know so much more, they must be found working in the fields. It's no wonder when the prodigal son came back to the Father, the elder son was in the field (Luke 15:25). For the 'elder sons', we do know that God is gracious, but we also know they will be judged more strictly (James 3:1). For me, that's where it gets 'confusing', but even to this, the answers are in the Bible. I hope all this is correct. I hope it helps.
Is this David Wilkerson
I have a question for all pastor's preachers teachers on RUclips I hear all kinds of teachings I have one question for all of you RUclips teachers preachers and pastors Christians Does anybody love the gospel of John It's called Jesus ministry It's called the gospel piece the gospel of ❤ It's the number one book in The Bible that we should focus on Believe that
If you believe that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from death you will be saved
All those who believe in me - though they die - yet shall they live as they have already passed from death to life. No suffering spoken of!
He who has the Son has the Father. He who does not have the Son does not have the Father. No suffering mentioned although ones life is one of suffering
The Great Tribulation is to bring the Jews to repentance. They are Gods creation to bring forth the Messiah so He will not and has not abandoned them. They were looking for the second coming and rejected the first.
All those who died in Christ will be with the Lord and are saved - no tribulation!
I am scared of pain
Dont be!
There Will be a time when we Will be in Heaven with our Heavenly Father for ever with no pain, no sadness, no sickness... Pain is temporary, Heaven is EVERLASTING!
Concerning the Day of the Lord (His return), and the gathering together to Him (The Rapture): Read 2nd Thessalonians.
It is true, that Christians are not appointed to wrath. The wrath of God and the Great Tribulation are not the same event. The Great Tribulation is the antichrist's rulership. For those who go along to get along, to them it will be life as usual.
For those Christians who will not, for them it is The Great Tribulation.
Christ’s return is to bring the wrath of God, and to destroy the kingdoms of the antichrist, and the antichrist
It is written, " Let no one deceive you by any means."
It is written, " that day(the coming of the Lord, and the gathering together to Him), will not come, unless The Falling Away(falling away from Christ) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition (The Antichrist), who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."
The return of The King(Jesus Christ) and the gathering together to meet Him in the air, are on that same Day.
It is written that "the dead in Christ shall rise first, then those who are alive and remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air."
Read 1st Thessalonians: Before Christ brings down the wrath of God the Father upon all the evil inhabitants of the earth, He takes those who belongs to Him out of this earth, both dead and alive.
Those who have ears to hear will hear the Truth. Unfortunately, only a few will recognize the Truth.
The Return of The King of Kings, and our rapture up to Him, is the same event.
People are being deceived by all means, because they are awaiting a rapture when the world is being set up for the rulership of The Antichrist. Don't you see this one world mindset forming right before your eyes? Let God’s Words be True.
since when is there such a thing as justice? not in this world is right. i have not seen justice in this country.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not worried. Not at all Paul said no worries
Pastor John i absolutely love listening to your preaching, but allow me one constructive criticism in the form of a question. Why does every preacher ,pastor, etc. believe they are saving souls? When Scripture makes it unequivocally clear we(the believer) have little to do with it and no mention of the preacher. Yet i hear not just you but every pastor take credit. Is this Scriptural and if so where?
Romans 10
“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
1 Timothy 4:16 ESV
It’s the hearing of the gospel that plants the seed of salvation that ultimately only God can make sprout and thrive to bare fruit, but if there is no preacher to proclaim the gospel then how will anyone hear it to be saved? It’s clear from scripture that believers do get credit, heavenly treasure, for the seeds they plant that bare fruit.
Jesus told Christians to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. God's Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalms 37:11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus will make sure that God's Will is done on earth as it is in heaven, Matthew 6:9,10! Will you be there to see it? John 4:22-24; John 17:3; Isaiah 42:8!
the man of sin will not be revealed until He that hinders is removed? Does not fit this exposition of a post tribulation setting. There is also Enoch and Elijah to consider. Pre tribulation rapture.
This idea of mountains and valleys is so close to secret knowledge and progressive revelation that I'm hard-pressed to not call it gnosticism... can someone explain this 2000+ year valley to me from a biblically and historically defensible method?
No. He is saying that God shared highlights of these major events of future times but not History to the minute details.
What was a mystery to the Old Testament prophets was revealed by the revelation of Jesus Christ and the New Testament prophets. What was once hidden has now been brought into the open, two thousand years ago. There’s nothing Gnostic about the New Testament.
(our Lord Jesus Christ said)""So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. 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. On that day 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.’ Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it." ~ Matthew 7:12-27
"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." ~ Galatians 5:13-26
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister." ~ 1 John 3:1-10
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" ~ Matthew 16:24-26
"Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:18--20
"Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." ~ Ephesians 5:1-11
"We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did." ~ 1 John 2:3-6
(our Lord Jesus Christ said) ""If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me." ~ John 14:15-24
"But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ-yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." ~ Philippians 3:7-21
So you believe in Matthew chapter 24:29-31
After the Great Tribulations is the only rapture of the saints and then the wrath of God
Don't know the day or the hour. But could we know the week or the month?
I believe so, this might help...
Https://ruclips.net/video/iPRDpUvrldo/видео.html
Possibly the year, but that's not clear - it definetly could be longer. Jesus Christ himself tells us that the writing is on the wall when the wicked one (anti-christ) claims that he is God in the flesh and sets up an image for the world to worship by force (Matthew 24)
Paul says the same thing in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2:
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
You'll know its close when these two things happen. Until then I wouldnt lose any sleep.
very great teaching sir i only point out this point:
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Readiness at Any Hour
32 But as for that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
i think he is talking bout the Heavens and erth passing away that day know one knows but his second coming i think he knew it refers to the end of the world . then he goes on about the tribulation days i think. i think THAT DAY FOR THAT THE EARTH WILL PASS AWAY THATS THE DAY ONLY THE FARTHER KNOWS . i believe he knows or els how can he shortend the time at the time of the elect u see for the rest i agree with it all even i just came to know this.
John Piper wish I could talk to you....
I’m going to hell please pray for me
Seek God brother, I'll keep you in my prayers while I'm on my journey
adam davis if you repent of your sins, accept Christ’s free gift of love, and give your life to the Lord there is hope for you! God is for you and since Christ defeated death on the cross there is NOTHING you can do to be separated from the love, grace, and mercy he offers you. All you have to do is recognize that you are sinful and need a savior to save your life. Praying for you.
Hi Adam, the fact that you recognise your fallen nature is a good thing. Please find a church, find more of Pastor John's teaching on RUclips, learn about who Jesus was, and why He is able to save.
I'll try to give a summary, but nonetheless, search deeper into the Bible.
Since the fall of Adam, sin has had a hold on human beings. It has corrupted our nature and made us undeserving of God's presence. God however, loved us so dearly. Right from the day of the fall, He made a promise to redeem us from our sin and its consequences. He kept to this promise and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth, to take on human flesh, and live a perfect human life. Jesus left his perfect Divine nature, inhabited a human body free from sin (virgin birth guaranteed this), and lived that perfect life. His perfect life lived on our behalf pleased God, he had no sin, nor consequence (judgement), no damnation whatsoever. Through this, we are made perfect with God. That's one part. On the other hand, he also willing laid His life down as a sacrifice for our sins. The death which we deserve, the hell which you think you deserve for your sin, he paid the penalty for it. His payment was infinitely worthier and greater than every lamb sacrifice that had been done in the past for our sins.
With an understanding of this, I urge you to have faith in Jesus, your sin has been fully paid for, you have no place in hell anymore, you are set free. Read up and get to know Jesus better, pray for understanding, and intimacy, and gradually, you will see Him work on you. He will transform your imperfect nature to one that loves and walks in righteousness. It doesn't usually happen overnight, but it does. He will give you a new heart to sin less, and he will blot out your mistakes with his blood. He knows you are imperfect, and his perfect self knows exactly what needs to be worked on in you. You have the promise of eternal life waiting for you, the promise of a new perfect body at the second coming... So fear not, have faith, and watch the Lord do some great work in you.
🙏🏽
Jo' Okk I’m going to hell. I’ve been on anti psychotic medications for seven years and my body and soul is broken. I have sinned sexually. I face death every day, my life is never certain because I have disobeyed the Commandments. Please pray for me because God spoke to me and told me I am most definitely going to hell. I pray it’s not forever. I am scared.
try reading 1rst JOHN. its at the end of your bible right before revelation.😎 I do feel the same way as you sometimes bro. I get it.But you have to fight in prayer readimg your bible and find some church friends👈🏻realest words ever spoken
good
The only wrath of God that comes is that which comes from Not Obeying His commandments. The choice is always yours.
Where are you getting this from? This either needs to be fleshed out or edited; you may be leading people down the path of works here.
Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"
Romans 5:8-9 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
Accepting and Believing in Jesus Christ saves you from God's wrath. You will follow Christ's commandments if you love him - but it is clear that you are saved from the wrath if you believe.
George
Jesus Said..”Obey My Sayings. God Said Obey My commandments. God Gave us commandments to Help us live Good responsible lives. Why would you not want to live Gods commandments? I will stay with Jesus on this one. I have found living the commandments to be the most Helpful and valuable thing in my life. I do not believe in Gods wrath. God gave us commandments because He Loves us. The only wrath that comes is when you disobey the commandments. Your reasoning is crazy to me.
Helo is the Antichrist a demon or he has human soul
Idolizing ANY human being as God Almighty is an abomination and deception of the truth. Deut 13.
Church is not on earth at the second coming. At the second coming all New Testament saints will be coming with Jesus to help set up his millennium reign where his chosen Jews and church saints and Tribulation saints will live 1,000 years. PTL
Just wondering, what you guys think of the New Living Translation Bible?
all translations are that; translations
I don't like it myself. I think the King James is the most powerful, and the ESV is helpful for understanding difficult passages and the epistles.
The Sword of the Spirit is the word of God (Ephesians 6). Why use a butterknife like the NLT? Stick with the KJV, it is tried & true!
I have to burn my own toast...
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Matt 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
Mitchell C
When Matthew wrote "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come".to whom was he speaking?
@@edwardlongfellow5819
Hi Edward
First off Matthew didn’t “write that”, Jesus said it
The gospel of the kingdom is for all nations until the end
Jesus preached the kingdom
The disciples preached the kingdom
Paul preached the kingdom
@@mitchellc4
Actually Matthew did write that is written in his gospel and if not him someone of the same ilk. We have no way of knowing what Jesus said. We rely on the scribes to have told the truth but too often the contradictions and omissions found within the gospel give rise to suspicion of interpolation and falsehoods. As for Paul he was a charlatan cut from a cloth of the most devious material.
@@edwardlongfellow5819
Edward if you don’t believe in scripture then we have no debate
That is the field
If you don’t believe in scripture then I’m not that interested
@@mitchellc4
There is quite a lot of scripture that I believe to be true. For instance we find Jesus advocating the keeping and beating of slaves. In the Old testament we find God recommending and authorising slavery. In addition we find Paul admitting that he is a charlatan, a trickster. However if you accept the scripture that sanctions slavery and trickery or excuses the drowning of people that is entirely your affair.
Key word ONCE AND FOR ALL.. IT HAPPENED 11/11/2019
not one 'love' or 'kindness'
just violence, domination, and fear
pathetic
20:00 he totally misses the first century context of these verses.
If Jesus died to pay our sin debt, then he should still be dead. That's the price I would have to pay on judgement day, eternal death. And we wouldn't be required to repent of anything nor crucify our flesh on our own cross. Either he paid or we must pay thru repentance and obedience. There was no blood sacrifice required for the prodigal son to find the Fathers open arms welcoming him back home. Just a repentant and contrite heart. The way it's ALWAYS been. Ezekiel 18. Every man must die for his own inquity Jer 31. The old man must die so the new man can arise. Unfortunately most people have never figured out the gospels were originally written as allegory and later literalized by Rome.
The only miracle birth in the bible is the NEW BIRTH and the virgin daughter of Zion is not a woman named Mary.
Our rescue as believers is before the tribulation, the church is not appointed to wrath, The rescue is for the Jews and tribulation saints that do not get beheaded. Amir Tsarfati explains this very clearly in his video ‘the restrainer’ and Jack Hibbs has a two-part teaching called “what you believe about the rapture and why it matters“ our redemption is not dying and going to heaven, it is the resurrection of those who died after being born again and those who are alive and remain to meet the Lord in the air to go to the place he prepared for us, revelation three explains that he will keep us from the hour of trial coming on the earth, check for yourself the church is not mentioned between Revelation four and Revelation 19
Tribulation and God's wrath are two different things.
Pre-trib rapture is a false doctrine brought to you by Darby and propagandized by Scofield and Moody
so we stand ready to let things get by and allow injustice because you tell me that there will be justice in the future heaven which i dont believe in?
I will pray for your soul brother. Repent. Seek the Lord. Remove those shackles and bondages the devil has put on you. This man is anointed and you call his prayer the work of the devil. Shame on you.
@@pearlz1929 keep your hypocritical thoughts and prayers to yourself please =you have no sincere concern for me, and I rebuke you for not knowing the truth- so just shut up.
okay, i have already reconciled my sufferings now that i am in another realm. i am already there- it is all over, i have no regrets, no vengeance, no desire to get revenge or hurt anyone (except maybe evil leaders)
Rapture explained in 10 minutes at The Lord's Day Ministry.
Sorry John Piper you’re not saved
36:45 did you just espouse the doctrine of purgatory?
No, not purgatory, the final judgment unto eternal life or destruction.
This man has scripture mixed up. If you’re not careful you can get confused by someone’s interpretation of scripture. But the Bible says scripture is of no private interpretation. The Bible interprets the Bible.
And now he is reading scripture of something that already happened. Be careful Christian. Be a Berean and search the scriptures yourself praying in the spirit for God to teach your
Revelation 21:4-5 :(
Typo :)
Does that parable mean that if Christ returns while I am sinning, He will not rapture me?
I still find it strange when people laugh during a Piper talk - he NEVER tells jokes and doesn't try to inject any humour into his talks, but there is inevitably someone chuckling in the background.
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! The superbowl moment made me very angry.. those men laughing at what he said like he wasn't being SERIOUS!!!!! WAKE UP, SILLY MEN!!!!!
I agree. It was very sad to hear so many men laughing when Pastor Piper called Christians out for watching the Super Bowl halftime show. I pray that the laughter turned to tears when they reflected on what he said.
HOLDING. MY. BREATH. 4

This pre trib rapture false doctrine is causing the greatest deception in the church. I know Piper doesn’t believe in it!! Most known teachers do! I know it’s not true because Jesus said it isn’t true! In John 6 Jesus says 4 times that he would raise up “all” the Father had given him on the last day! The last day is the end of the age. The “all” are everyone who are the elect. Every person who has been saved by Gods grace through faith from the first day man was created to the last day of the age. Lazarus’ sister Martha told Jesus “ yes Lord, I know my brother will rise again on the last day”. Everytime Jesus talked about his return, about the harvest which is the resurrection he said it was on the last day or end of the age. Hebrews 9 says jesus will return a second time not a second and third! Jesus right before he ascended to heaven said “ and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age. Not even to the pre trib rapture!!! It is a heavy deception that has come upon Christians especially knowing that there is not even one verse in the entirety of scripture that mentions a pre trib rapture. Not one, and I dare someone to show that verse to me ! But to the contrary there are many verses that say the Lords return is on the last day. What are these people basing this false doctrine on? Fictional books like the “ left behind series” . Because scripture doesn’t teach it, Jesus never mentioned it, the early church didn’t believe it! Matt 24- Jesus says his return and the end of the age were at the same time and it was after the tribulation of those days, not before! It’s after the sun is darkened, the moon doesn’t shine and the stars disappear! I truly believe the church has listened to all these last days prophets for to long and I don’t believe these prophets have it right! False narrative. We were warned two thousand years ago that there would be many false teachers and false prophets telling people what their itching ears want to hear! And that many people would be deceived. And the reason for their deception? They don’t study the word of God but take false teachers for granted, they idolize some of these men! Their condemnation is deserved!
The litmus test is not getting perfect the end times theologies.
Get Jesus right...and things work out.
Piper is weak on the whole END Time theology some would argue. Understanding the FEASTS and Revelation especially Revelation 4.1 is not easy.
Personally, if you do not have the gift of prophecy, you should avoid the topic as it is quite complex.
Piper's gift is not in this area, he is a pastor' trying to do his thing, which is the right thing for him.
god is judging rightly in my afflictions? i deserved 44 months incarcerated and havent hurt anybody? i have perfect integrity-that i may be considered worthy-okay i get it. i have noticed the respect shown. did i need forgiveness? no, but i am grateful for the respect and the ability to be alive and well.
If you did the crime then he's you earned time I jail. Maybe he used you during that time to touch someone's life and you don't even know it
@@pearlz1929 I guess daniel earned time, Joseph earned time, JOhn earned time, Paul earned time, Jeremiah earned time. wake up. i am a revolutionary, a whistle-blower, that is why i was in jail. so ;put aside your dam christian so-called holiness as you pretend to be something and judge me, who has a hundred times your righteousness. you are a deceived sheep, dum and following the most ;phony and deceiving people
