Ive learned that not doing good works will lose our salvation.. And i did my best not to sin. I looked to Jesus daily. I checked on myself daily.. And yesterday, i failed big time... Did the habitual sin.. And I checked myself again.. You know where I went wrong? God allowed me to fail because i just started to count on my good works.. Nothing is good, only God. No one is saved from good works, we are only saved through the grace of Jesus. During the time that i am controlling myself to be perfect like Christ, i felt condemned and restless. I dont have peace.. Today, i prayed and cried.. "Father you know my heart. You know my very evil desires. You know how dirty my soul is.. Father, only Jesus is perfect, and i am saved because of Jesus only. Because He died for me.. Father, allow my soul to rest in Jesus's arms and mercy.. Let me rest for i am tired"..
Guys, also pray for me.. Before im enjoying sin. But now, im not in the flesh, im still a sinner. But i HATE it so much.. I hate it.. God knows it.. The things i live to do, i hate it and i dont want it. But i do it. You may judge me, or call me unfaithful follower, because maybe i am.. But God knows it. He know the deepest evil in my heart. I even confessed my FAKE repentance.. You know what i can say about being a Christian? You wrestle with the world. Even to yourself, you are an enemy to yourself. I even rebuke myself, the deepest of my heart aside from the devil and sins.. But what makes me happy is that the promise will never be forgotten.. The promise that i have from Jesus, is the same as you..
Joezer Cenabre im sorry to hear that it is staying with Christ obeying Him and fearing Him that will make you see true happiness dont loose faith in Him. Wait for Him please :) your not helpless God will not let you be tempted more that you can bare. Turn to God and STAY for he loves you and you must surrender to Him :) love Him with all your might heart and soul :) may God bless you
Hi, I don't have evidence to prove the resurrection of Jesus was a hoax or not. Since you are 100% sure it wasn't a hoax, can you provide the evidence (not just books, opinions of Christian historians / scholars, or scripture references) to prove that hoaxer Christian writers didn't make up the resurrection hoax by making up fake eyewitnesses, fake testimonials, and the fake stories that apostles were willing to die after seeing the risen Jesus? Thank you.
wow!!! at the most opportune of time, not only to bring me a sip of living water for my dry and parched mouth but to help me connect the dots and bring this revelation right into a situation that just occured in my life
Your religion says it's moral to eat meat. Your religion says thank God for giving you life & also for giving life to animals for you to take their lives away & eat them. You thank God for choosing you to recover from illness as many other ignored patients die. *QUESTION:* Are you really that intellectually dishonest to condone how your religion has fooled & brainwashed you to believe in an imaginary God by exploiting your hypocrisy, narcissism, ignorance, & arrogance?
Thank you for this - I've been sitting in darkness but again God is calling me back to him. I've had no joy for the last 5 years but I know God will restore me and i will be able to use my experience to help others. I've sinned in my heart and actions too many times to count, it's just been about what i want and i couldn't seem to get past that but for the first time this year i have hope again because it's not about me, it's about His plan for the world and what he's purposed for me. So rejoice not my enemy because God will enable me to rise again!
Heather, i was strugling with pornography when God show me this message. Your victory as His child isn´t about you, it´s about who He is, and your freedom and joy will remind satan and all the demons the kind of God we have. May God bless you, my sister.

I find myself so guilty from sinning against God, embarrassed and ashamed. I cannot bring myself to prayer knowing I have wronged the Lord. I'm battling with the host family I stay with for my training and they have said unkind words that ,I have developed a spirit of anger and hate. I don't want to feel this way because it's distancing me from God and purity because of the constant unkind thoughts I have been having. Lord Jesus help me to find peace and stay away from sin.
You can make it. Just one step at a time pray for a minute or 30 seconds say something to the Lord everyday. No matter what. Be honest no matter what because he knows our troubles and our hearts just move towards him everyday closer and closer he is faithful and will move closer to you. But remember it's his timing so wait on him with joy and patients. Amen
Sister, Once i was months without praying, and a brother of ours Said to me: "Looks to God, can you imagine what would happen to you if He stopped looking after you?" Sister, i know you don't want, but pray. You will feel better, stop trying to get to God's standard, you won't. None of us will, we are not ever worthy, doesn't manter how much spiritually you have been investing, you are not perfect. You are broken, but God, repairs you, fills you. But remember, He is out Father, doesn't of course our Father want to know what trouble us even when he knows what's happening? Tell him the details, remember He created you as you are. And you are pleasing to Him, because you are broken, and He is Love, and He is waiting to give it to you all.
In the old testament, when Moses made the bronze serpent, he put it on a pile and held it up. Then he told the people that if they where bitten by one of the vipers they could be saved from death by simply looking on the serpent. This was a picture of Christ Jesus of course and a showing that we are saved through faith. Had someone not looked because of a myriad of reasons they would die. My point is, that Jesus is there waiting for you to ask him for help. He is the high priest. He EVER LIVES to make intersession for us, to bring us to God his father. He is able to do that because he is the preist and that's what preist do. He also was the sacrifice has been awarded by God a position of highest honor in heaven bring seated with God enthroned if you will. Your in good hands with Jesus, and the truth really is HE WANTS YOU TO COME TO HIM, no matter how many times you sin over and over. Jesus doesn't throw us away it's us who walk away. Don't be hardened or discouraged by your anger and hate. People can be used by satan to try to attack you. So realize it's a spiritual battle that That's where victory is and pray. I'm gonna pray for you sisiter
I rose yesterday I cried my heart out and now I am forgiven once more and I am now to take god more seriously, I am 18 years old and I will always learn more
This message is so dear to me, I've recently come through a long night of the soul repenting for my many sins, and this message has lifted my heart. Thank you for bringing it to us!
*These words prove God’s love for us:* “For there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon . . . . For it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become subject unto him.” “O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all things, and there is not anything save he knows it. And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam. “And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day. And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.” “He denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.” “And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews that Jesus is the very Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.” “They must appear before the judgment-seat of the Holy One of Israel; and then cometh the judgment, and then must they be judged according to the holy judgment of God . . . . O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel! For he delivereth his saints from that awful monster the devil, and death, and hell, and that lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.” “O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.” “And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.” “For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.” “For behold, did not Moses prophesy concerning the coming of the Messiah and that God should redeem his people? Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began-have they not spoken more or less concerning these things? “Have they not said that God himself should come down among the children of men and take upon him the form of man and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth? “And have they not said also that he should bring to pass the resurrection of the dead and that he, himself, should be oppressed and afflicted?” “For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness. He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him.” “And also that ye may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, which ye shall have among you; and also that the Jews, the covenant people of the Lord, shall have other witness besides him whom they saw and heard, that Jesus, whom they slew, was the very Christ and the very God. And I would that I could persuade all ye ends of the earth to repent and prepare to stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.” “Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.” “And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.” “But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.” “Repent of all your sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God, and that he was slain by the Jews, and by the power of the Father he hath risen again, whereby he hath gained the victory over the grave; and also in him is the sting of death swallowed up. And he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead, whereby man must be raised to stand before his judgment-seat.” “O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye, and enter in at the strait gate, and continue in the way which is narrow, until ye shall obtain eternal life. O be wise; what can I say more? Finally, I bid you farewell, until I shall meet you before the pleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with awful dread and fear.” All these verses and more are in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon truly is a testimony of Jesus Christ and has been brought forth by the power of God in these latter days. Anyone who believes these words from the Book of Mormon (and I know these words are true) should contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to speak with the missionaries and find out for themselves that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in these latter days.
Thank you Pastor John. I’ve falllen back into porn , I’ve been running around doing misnitry and preparing things and listening to Gid but deep down been longing lust. I’m so guilty but Gods grace is so much sweeter and so broken , and tired of sin. No more , my God is for me and never against me, I will rise
I feel your pain brother. I recommend truly looking back and the "sparks" that happened throughout your day that lead to you ultimately go to porn and remove them from your life. For example if a certain social media profile is posting certain content you know will lead you to do it then unfollow them. Also consider purchasing an amazon Kindle so you can read the word and other books without having the ability to be distracted by other things. Stay strong brother and pray to Christ 🤲🏿.
Thank You Lord for the word given through pastor John. Last two weeks, I was really disappointed by myself and I felt like I have thrown away everything and betrayed Him. But now I am coming back to the cross and I wanna find my salvation and joy from there. Thanks for the word again.
Thank you. I experienced a dark night of the soul last night, weighed down by guilt. I needed to hear this message of contrite courage TODAY! Amen. I thank God for teachers like John Piper who help shine the light of God’s mercy & forgiveness.
I fear I have committed an abominable act and have acted swiftly out of impulse and pleasure. I have willfully sinned against my creator and I feel condemned and ashamed of what I've done. I have walked in faith for almost 2 years now and have never sunk this low. I fear the loss of salvation. I feel the reason why I've been led astray to this degree has been because of my selfish desires. I fooled myself into believing that I can walk this Christian life alone without the help of a community or a church to reproof or rebuke me. I've neglected brotherly love because of my discomfort and social anxiety. I believed a lie and I have made my bed in Sheol. I'm afraid of what happens next , I'm too ashamed to face God in prayer. I'm afraid of the hurt and dishonesty, I'm afraid to ask for forgiveness when I might just fail again. It doesn't seem fair, it doesn't seem right. I'm mostly afraid of death and not having Christ in my life. I don't know how to live without Christ and I feel like everything's going to get worse. Please pray for me.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I fell into sin When i was a babe in christ and now after so long i realized that because of my marriage i fell into bitterness and anger. now after 22 years i realized why i i fell something was holding me back! And it felt like i couldn't cry for so long. now.
We of ourselves can never overcome. The only way we can overcome is through growing in Christ. The more we abide in Him the more our sinful desires will slowly fade. The Lord then fills us with new desires.
I WILL RISE!!!!!! Hallelujah Thankyou lord for your unfailing love and mercy! You are such a patient loving God!!! May we live life righteously and with integrity keeping the most high God in our hearts be blessed!!!!!!!
I am tired of knowingly sinning and then feeling bad. I have faced the consequences from these same sins before. Everything from losing jobs, homelessness,being arrested, using drugs, suicide not to mention the embarrassment I have brought to myself and family. I want to stop letting these demons control me. I believe holiness and being aware of Gods presence in my life are the key. God save me.
Wow. Thank you. Like Jobs book. Where the enemie rages against a righteous man//Christian, God Himself is our Advocate and frees us from comdamnation. I get it. May Jesus, the lion of Juda rise within us. We, that have fallen must rise again. To serve Him that is our Righteousness!
God leads us where we need to be for His teachings....He led me to this video today. I still have tears flowing. Thank you Lord for Pastor John and leading me...to your Words!
Thank you Pastor Piper for a thorough commentary on verse 9. Now Isaiah 1:18 really started to become alive in me, not merely by my mental capacity to hold onto its promise.
Extremely relevant to what I am going through right now. Pastor Piper has ministered by the Word to my spirit. God blesses all who turn to Him in repentance.
I love this I'm a born-again Christians and have been for a very long time when my flesh get the better of me I'll be a little hard on myself but I realized that my Lord Jesus Christ will always forgive me I try my best not to do it again but when I do I feel like I have let him down but no matter what I do my Lord Jesus Christ would never let me go for once I became a born-again Christian he will never let me go I love Jesus so much I needed to hear this. I thank you brother in Christ Jesus
math 12:20 He will not cruch the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle ,finaly He will cause justice to be victourious. and HIS NAME WILL BE THE HOPE OF ALL WORLD
Yes I believe what you saying in Gods, word. You're so great at breaking the Bible down. May God continue to bless you with the wisdom to share his word.
how glorious is this reality! Even when we fall to that babitual sin, (Lord You know what everyone's habitual sin is), He has given us a court-appointed attorney if you will. But not like the public defenders in manmade courtrooms. No He Himself, the Ultimate Public Defender! It's like a Judge that passes judgement down from the bench and steps down from that Bench and advocates for the one He just convicted! How glorious is this reality! Oh Lord, i will bear Your rod as i await Your mercy
This is the most encouraging video ever. My sin was falling into gossip (something i just never do) with a stranger and it hurt me because i knew better. to know i offended the victim of my words when i know how painful it is to have someone talk negatively about me is really doing a number on me. I was even starting to question my character but i thank God that the Spirit convicted me immediately after. I can only thank God because I don’t deserve His love or favour. Main thing I can do is to confess, rejoice in who God is and behaving like a child of GoD
I PRAY IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU MY BROTHER IN CHRIST IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN THANKYOU FAITHFULL GOD I'VE BEEN BROKEN HEARTED I DON'T WANT TO SIN I'VE NEVER FELT THIS DOWN AND I KNOW that god has brought me to this VIDIO IME FIGHTING BACK NOW IN PRAYER I KNOW WE'RE ITS BEEN FROM HOW GREAT IS ARE GOD HOW FAITHFULL THE BATTLE HAS ALLREADY BEEN WON ON CALVERY SATAN HATES US BUT GOD LOVES US AND HE'S GIVEN US THE ARMOUR AND ALL THE POWER OVER THE ENEMY LUKE CHAPTER 10 VERSE 19 I FEEL MYSELF BEING LIFTED UP GOD IS AWSOME THOUGH I HAVE FALLEN I WILL RISE THE POWER OF PRAYER THANKYOU JOHN PIPER AMEN AND AMEN SHALOM
Love this teaching, John Piper God isspeaking to me as I have asked for so may years in prayer, as I have been clinging to this passage and I now can discern what God is doing in my life at this time of a difficult trial in my life
Thank you Father for doing exactly this in my life when I was a slave to sin and trapped in bondage to my sin but today after your discipline in my life and after guiding and giving me the strength I needed to confess my sin before you and turn from it I can rejoice that I am now living as you called me to delivered from my sin. There is none like Thee in Your grace and mercy and glory.
Blessed are you brother John for your service unto the Lord is full of power and understanding is annointed and give peace and great understanding. May the Lord keep and preserve those who He have chosen because He shall not loose those whom is. in His hand but shall raise them. up. in the last day. Also He who starts a good work in you will finish it. Amen Be blessed in Jesus name
Im learning that it is not solely about our sin nature but solely about HIS Perfect Nature.. HIS Perfect Character.. HIS Perfect Name.. HIS Perfect Love.. HIS Perfect Desire.. HIS Perfect Honor.. HIS Perfect Strength.. No sin can stop HIS Perfection.. no sin can change His Perfect Nature and no sin has the power to hide His Strength. Sin causes us to focus on our shame, our imperfect nature but our imperfection & blemishes do not control the Perfect Nature of the Most High, YAH. He is who He is - no matter who i am and He promised to NEVER rebuke anyone that comes to Him in all their filth & imperfection, seeking HIS forgiveness. He yearns for our return more than we do and satan knows it that is why he does everything to discourage us - to not run to YAH! So when we finally return He will receive us. Yahusha Ha’mashiach (Jesus the Christ) said forgive until 77x7 times .. how much more is the Perfect Forgiveness of YAH? He does not state ever in His Word a desire to hold back HIS Forgiveness, He said He gets nothing out of the wicked perishing. He prefers the wicked to turn around and run to Him. Ezekiel 18:23 “Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Adon Yahuah. Is it not that he should turn from his ways, and live?” Ezekiel 33:11 “Say to them ‘As I live,’ declares the Adon Yahuah, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his ways and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Yisra’el?” That is what im learning to not be ashamed to come back or stand back up when i fall because it is not about my story but HIS Story in my life. How He Loves us is beyond what we can grasp but i am learning to cling on to it in such a loveless world we live in today. I want YOU FOREVER ABBA ♥️ in this life & the life to come.
Ive learned that not doing good works will lose our salvation.. And i did my best not to sin. I looked to Jesus daily. I checked on myself daily.. And yesterday, i failed big time... Did the habitual sin.. And I checked myself again.. You know where I went wrong? God allowed me to fail because i just started to count on my good works.. Nothing is good, only God. No one is saved from good works, we are only saved through the grace of Jesus. During the time that i am controlling myself to be perfect like Christ, i felt condemned and restless.

Father, only Jesus is perfect, and i am saved because of Jesus only. Because He died for me.. Father, allow my soul to rest in Jesus's arms and mercy.. Let me rest for i am tired"..
Guys, also pray for me.. Before im enjoying sin. But now, im not in the flesh, im still a sinner. But i HATE it so much.. I hate it.. God knows it.. The things i live to do, i hate it and i dont want it. But i do it. You may judge me, or call me unfaithful follower, because maybe i am.. But God knows it. He know the deepest evil in my heart.

I even rebuke myself, the deepest of my heart aside from the devil and sins.. But what makes me happy is that the promise will never be forgotten.. The promise that i have from Jesus, is the same as you..
Joezer Cenabre im sorry to hear that it is staying with Christ obeying Him and fearing Him that will make you see true happiness dont loose faith in Him. Wait for Him please :) your not helpless God will not let you be tempted more that you can bare. Turn to God and STAY for he loves you and you must surrender to Him :) love Him with all your might heart and soul :) may God bless you
So encouraging! I am going through the same my brother, where I am learning to rely only on God and not my pride and strength to defeat sin!!
Joezer Cenabre thank you, this was helpful
God loves a lowly and honest heart .. The great apostle Paul used to persecute Christians .. Brothers GOD LOVES YOU AND YOU HAVE A PLACE IN HEAVEN
Just when I feel so guilty because of my sin against God I found this on my recommended. I can't believe this.. thank you Lord hallelujah!
God is so good!!!!
None do it like our Lord! 👍❤️😁

“For behold, did not Moses prophesy concerning the coming of the Messiah and that God should redeem his people? Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began-have they not spoken more or less concerning these things?
“Have they not said that God himself should come down among the children of men and take upon him the form of man and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?
“And have they not said also that he should bring to pass the resurrection of the dead and that he, himself, should be oppressed and afflicted?”
“For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness. He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him.”
“And also that ye may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, which ye shall have among you; and also that the Jews, the covenant people of the Lord, shall have other witness besides him whom they saw and heard, that Jesus, whom they slew, was the very Christ and the very God. And I would that I could persuade all ye ends of the earth to repent and prepare to stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.”
“Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.”
“And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.”
“But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.”
“Repent of all your sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God, and that he was slain by the Jews, and by the power of the Father he hath risen again, whereby he hath gained the victory over the grave; and also in him is the sting of death swallowed up. And he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead, whereby man must be raised to stand before his judgment-seat.”
“O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye, and enter in at the strait gate, and continue in the way which is narrow, until ye shall obtain eternal life. O be wise; what can I say more? Finally, I bid you farewell, until I shall meet you before the pleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with awful dread and fear.”
All these verses and more are in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon truly is a testimony of Jesus Christ and has been brought forth by the power of God in these latter days. Anyone who believes these words from the Book of Mormon (and I know these words are true) should contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to speak with the missionaries and find out for themselves that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in these latter days.
This is a word! I praise God because I was lying in darkness because of my sin, but God has shed a light for me ❣️
Thank you Pastor John. I’ve falllen back into porn , I’ve been running around doing misnitry and preparing things and listening to Gid but deep down been longing lust. I’m so guilty but Gods grace is so much sweeter and so broken , and tired of sin. No more , my God is for me and never against me, I will rise
This is soo common, I wish it wasn't a think. I'm a victim to this too. I tried so hard but I keep falling
I feel your pain brother. I recommend truly looking back and the "sparks" that happened throughout your day that lead to you ultimately go to porn and remove them from your life. For example if a certain social media profile is posting certain content you know will lead you to do it then unfollow them. Also consider purchasing an amazon Kindle so you can read the word and other books without having the ability to be distracted by other things. Stay strong brother and pray to Christ 🤲🏿.
Thank You Lord for the word given through pastor John. Last two weeks, I was really disappointed by myself and I felt like I have thrown away everything and betrayed Him. But now I am coming back to the cross and I wanna find my salvation and joy from there. Thanks for the word again.
Piper is a great man to learn from. He can show you a good understanding of scripture.
Thank you. I experienced a dark night of the soul last night, weighed down by guilt. I needed to hear this message of contrite courage TODAY! Amen. I thank God for teachers like John Piper who help shine the light of God’s mercy & forgiveness.
I fear I have committed an abominable act and have acted swiftly out of impulse and pleasure. I have willfully sinned against my creator and I feel condemned and ashamed of what I've done. I have walked in faith for almost 2 years now and have never sunk this low. I fear the loss of salvation. I feel the reason why I've been led astray to this degree has been because of my selfish desires. I fooled myself into believing that I can walk this Christian life alone without the help of a community or a church to reproof or rebuke me. I've neglected brotherly love because of my discomfort and social anxiety. I believed a lie and I have made my bed in Sheol. I'm afraid of what happens next , I'm too ashamed to face God in prayer. I'm afraid of the hurt and dishonesty, I'm afraid to ask for forgiveness when I might just fail again. It doesn't seem fair, it doesn't seem right. I'm mostly afraid of death and not having Christ in my life. I don't know how to live without Christ and I feel like everything's going to get worse. Please pray for me.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I can't ask for forgiveness either
@@Luv_Rin40hey how are you doing now ?
I fell into sin When i was a babe in christ and now after so long i realized that because of my marriage i fell into bitterness and anger. now after 22 years i realized why i i fell something was holding me back! And it felt like i couldn't cry for so long. now.
GLORY TO GOD!!!
We of ourselves can never overcome. The only way we can overcome is through growing in Christ. The more we abide in Him the more our sinful desires will slowly fade. The Lord then fills us with new desires.
I WILL RISE!!!!!! Hallelujah Thankyou lord for your unfailing love and mercy! You are such a patient loving God!!! May we live life righteously and with integrity keeping the most high God in our hearts be blessed!!!!!!!
I will rise!!! Amen thank you Lord!
As the psalmist says:
"Against You: against You only have I sinned"
Been there and done that. But God who is rich in mercy granted me repentance! To him be the glory!
I am tired of knowingly sinning and then feeling bad. I have faced the consequences from these same sins before. Everything from losing jobs, homelessness,being arrested, using drugs, suicide not to mention the embarrassment I have brought to myself and family. I want to stop letting these demons control me. I believe holiness and being aware of Gods presence in my life are the key. God save me.
Wow. Thank you. Like Jobs book. Where the enemie rages against a righteous man//Christian, God Himself is our Advocate and frees us from comdamnation. I get it. May Jesus, the lion of Juda rise within us. We, that have fallen must rise again. To serve Him that is our Righteousness!
Amen! Thank you. Trying not to feel this guilt anymore. The lord is my foundation.
Amen ! I hope in you Lord, my shield and my fortress
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! I needed to hear this too! May the Lord bless you Pastor Piper.
God leads us where we need to be for His teachings....He led me to this video today. I still have tears flowing. Thank you Lord for Pastor John and leading me...to your Words!
The very same here.
Thank you Pastor Piper for a thorough commentary on verse 9. Now Isaiah 1:18 really started to become alive in me, not merely by my mental capacity to hold onto its promise.
Thank you Lord, for Micah 7:8
Extremely relevant to what I am going through right now. Pastor Piper has ministered by the Word to my spirit. God blesses all who turn to Him in repentance.
Cried like a baby the whole lesson. Y'all pray for me.
I love this I'm a born-again Christians and have been for a very long time when my flesh get the better of me I'll be a little hard on myself but I realized that my Lord Jesus Christ will always forgive me I try my best not to do it again but when I do I feel like I have let him down but no matter what I do my Lord Jesus Christ would never let me go for once I became a born-again Christian he will never let me go I love Jesus so much I needed to hear this. I thank you brother in Christ Jesus
Thank you my lord for providing me when i am need..
What an encouragement! Thank you Lord, I won't give up!
I'm in tears. This was very encouraging.

Thank you so much John piper. continue to be sensitive to the Lord's leading
Yes I believe what you saying in Gods, word. You're so great at breaking the Bible down. May God continue to bless you with the wisdom to share his word.
This is amazing, what a wonderful God we have
Oh! praising God for His mercy upon those whom He loves.
Upon those whom he loves? I’m guessing your a Calvinist
Incredible. I have never heard of this passage. Absolutely eye-opening.
Wow that was an amazing interpretation. I actually teared up when on Micah 7:7-9. Thank you John Piper
I needed this
how glorious is this reality! Even when we fall to that babitual sin, (Lord You know what everyone's habitual sin is), He has given us a court-appointed attorney if you will. But not like the public defenders in manmade courtrooms. No He Himself, the Ultimate Public Defender! It's like a Judge that passes judgement down from the bench and steps down from that Bench and advocates for the one He just convicted! How glorious is this reality! Oh Lord, i will bear Your rod as i await Your mercy
Desperately needed this. Thank you.
Wow, I really needed that! Thank you and god bless :)
Thank you John Piper needed to hear this
This is the most encouraging video ever. My sin was falling into gossip (something i just never do) with a stranger and it hurt me because i knew better. to know i offended the victim of my words when i know how painful it is to have someone talk negatively about me is really doing a number on me. I was even starting to question my character but i thank God that the Spirit convicted me immediately after. I can only thank God because I don’t deserve His love or favour. Main thing I can do is to confess, rejoice in who God is and behaving like a child of GoD
Too precious, oh Lord. Oh Lord, ...
THANK YOU FATHER THAT YOU HAVE JUSTIFIED ME! Great great teaching. Contrite Courage from SIN AND DEATH BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT OF LIFE.

Love this teaching, John Piper God isspeaking to me as I have asked for so may years in prayer, as I have been clinging to this passage and I now can discern what God is doing in my life at this time of a difficult trial in my life
Thank you Father for doing exactly this in my life when I was a slave to sin and trapped in bondage to my sin but today after your discipline in my life and after guiding and giving me the strength I needed to confess my sin before you and turn from it I can rejoice that I am now living as you called me to delivered from my sin. There is none like Thee in Your grace and mercy and glory.
Blessed are you brother John for your service unto the Lord is full of power and understanding is annointed and give peace and great understanding.
May the Lord keep and preserve those who He have chosen because He shall not loose those whom is. in His hand but shall raise them. up. in the last day.
Also He who starts a good work in you will finish it.
Amen
Be blessed in Jesus name
Thnak you very much...God bless u
Dude i needed this
Yes Lord! Amen!

thank you
Thanks papa j!
Micah 7:7-9 is True light in the darkness
Amen.
I pray to God that I can find a church that is a great fit beause I can use the fellowship. Struggles with sin. The shame and guilt.
Im learning that it is not solely about our sin nature but solely about HIS Perfect Nature.. HIS Perfect Character.. HIS Perfect Name.. HIS Perfect Love.. HIS Perfect Desire.. HIS Perfect Honor.. HIS Perfect Strength..
No sin can stop HIS Perfection.. no sin can change His Perfect Nature and no sin has the power to hide His Strength.
Sin causes us to focus on our shame, our imperfect nature but our imperfection & blemishes do not control the Perfect Nature of the Most High, YAH.
He is who He is - no matter who i am and He promised to NEVER rebuke anyone that comes to Him in all their filth & imperfection, seeking HIS forgiveness.
He yearns for our return more than we do and satan knows it that is why he does everything to discourage us - to not run to YAH!
So when we finally return He will receive us. Yahusha Ha’mashiach (Jesus the Christ) said forgive until 77x7 times .. how much more is the Perfect Forgiveness of YAH?
He does not state ever in His Word a desire to hold back HIS Forgiveness, He said He gets nothing out of the wicked perishing. He prefers the wicked to turn around and run to Him.
Ezekiel 18:23 “Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Adon Yahuah. Is it not that he should turn from his ways, and live?”
Ezekiel 33:11 “Say to them ‘As I live,’ declares the Adon Yahuah, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his ways and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Yisra’el?”
That is what im learning to not be ashamed to come back or stand back up when i fall because it is not about my story but HIS Story in my life.
How He Loves us is beyond what we can grasp but i am learning to cling on to it in such a loveless world we live in today.
I want YOU FOREVER ABBA ♥️ in this life & the life to come.
Amen hallelujah
Amen
I will rise!
