I have a coworker that at times it seems she goes out of her way to be rude and mean to me. I was just talking to my wife this morning about the situation and no less than five minutes later I find this video. I so love how when my heart and my head want to do one thing and say certain things and treat people certain way, but the Holy Spirit teaches me what is right, what is judged, what is pure. Thank you for posting this!

@PlayStation gamer That's why I am interested in Luciferianism, basic warfare and killing people who are invading your country is not "murder" it's doing the right thing, I fear that Jesus would say otherwise and so I don't trust him.
Dearest God, I thank you for allowing us, your children, to come to you in prayer. Thank you for bringing us into a new year safe, alive, and in our rights minds. Lord the world is straying away from you, they're taking Christ out of Christmas, and filling their New Years resolutions list with worldly things but all they really is You. All they need is Jesus, God. And I ask that you help us, your servants, show them that. Bless these people with the eyes to see Christ in the Christians of today, and the mind to realize how much they need him, and the will to turn their lives over to him, God, to turn their lives over to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

So said that it is not a common principle in the vast majority of Christians especially when God is SO clear on this principle through Jesus' life.

I'm thankful God blessed me with His message through my parents.

I'm going through a very difficult time. But I ask God to strengthen my will to do good to those who see me as their enemies. I ask God to please take control of my mind, my life, and my children and even bless those who hate me
Why did Jesus trust Judas despite the fact that he knew he was gonna betray him? Why do you think he didn't cast him out from among the group? I believe the answer is, Love.
Jonathan Chambers idiot. I dip my fore finger in the watery blood of your impotent mad redeemer and write over his thorn torn brow: the TRUE prince of evil - the king of slaves! I give love to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates! There is nothing wrong with showing vengence and he who turns the other cheek is a cowerdly dog! Man is just another animal sometimes better more often worse than those that walk on all fours, because of mans "divine spiritual and intellectual development" has become the most vicious animal of all! He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom. Are we not predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist? Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, is this not the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon his back when kicked? Blessed are the strong for they shall posses the earth-cursed are the weak, they shall inherit the yoke! Blessed are the bold, for they shall be masters of the world-Cursed are the righteously humble, for they will be trodden under cloven hoofs! Blessed are the victorious, for victory is the basis of right-Cursed are the vanquished, for they shall be vessels forever. Blessed are those that believe in what is best for them, for never shall their minds be terrorized- Cursed are the "lambs of God" for they shall be bled whiter than snow! Blessed is the man who has a sprinkling of enemies, for they shall make him a hero-Cursed is he who does good to others who sneer upon him in return, for he shall be despised!
Sally Nunes, and yet throughout your cursing upon us, we have become even more blessed. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You say "Blessed are the victorious", yet our God Jesus has secured the ultimate victory.
It's never too late to recognize the never ending love that God has for all of us. It's never too late to see that He strengthens those who seek Him - and that is why the meek, the weak, and those who love enemies can be blessed and stand strong.
@@sallynunes6157 love is never wasted! It is hard to love our enemies, but I don't think it means you should go above and beyond for them, just treat them with kindness. Sending you my love.
+Angel Martin this is sad but from a person who is experiencing the same, remember this Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

I’m so love with what you talking about beautiful messages, every one supposed be like Jesus , Love you my lord Jesus Christ so much please be Always with me now and forever 🙏🏻❤️🌞🍀🌈😇
I rewinded John asking the third question like 5 times 😂 I don’t want to just do what’s right outwardly. I want a heart change. I want it just be my nature. I’m 24, and I’ve gave my life to Jesus when I was 22. There’s been ups and downs, but he’s been growing me and showing his goodness and glory to me in ways that are just mind blowing.... it’s gotten to the point where I can’t help help but notice my prideful nature, and I can’t stand it. I love him, and I really don’t like that there are things in my character (like how my flesh craves praise and honor, and recognition) that I know are unpleasing to him.... but he keeps showing me his goodness... And then I realize he knew all these ways in me were already there when I first gave myself to him, and he reached right into my mess, not caring how my dirt would get on his hands and pulled me out and started cleaning me up for a deeper relationship and communion with him... Anyway, he’s been ministering to me about it, so I know now it’s only a matter of time before I truly grasp ahold of letting that go. But man, I want to be able to show love to any and everybody without there being any perverse intentions. I want to lay myself down for others not because I know I should... but because it’s who I am. I want to be a pleasing aroma unto Jesus. A humble and acceptable sacrifice. Help me Lord.
you said exactly what i can't say or write into words. thank you. Jesus is here for us. He knows our heart and He will take care of it for us as long as we surrencder it to Him.

Excellent short teaching on, to me, what is the most perplexing and outright offensive teaching of Yeshua. The point that the Father and the Son of Man will repay them and repay us clarifies everything and gives me the ultimate rationale to try the teaching out. There will be perfect Divine Justice in the end for all. That's what will enable us to do this, with wisdom, little by little. We just need a lot of discernment and wisdom in how to apply this based on context.
John Piper is a true and real Christian. I forever hope him and his loved ones are doing well, are never pushed or harmed ✝️ when we finally set our limits we are told we are false Christians or mean, it is never not once true. Another Christian hated me and claimed "who are we". I dont wish to be included with others, still please take great care of yourself.

That was the best explanation of those scriptures I have ever heard. I do these things mostly but its very hard and frustrating. Loving your enemies is hard but if you can put yourself in their shoes for a few minutes and try to understand them it will help you to love them and see their point of view. You never know what someone else has been thru.

@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 What do you mean by "dispatch"? Kill? You don't follow books? I do. There are 37 in the New Testament alone. And in none of those will you find any mandate from God to kill anyone, since Jesus paid for all of our sins, and in the NEW Covenant, we are not told to give people what they deserve, but the loving forgiveness they DON'T deserve. I'll pray for you, friend. I didn't understand the NewCovenant grace until after 40 years of being an Old Covenant believer, so I don't have ANY stones to throw at you if you're still calling for justice instead of mercy.
@@journeyfrombitterness you are reading a different Bible than I am -God has most definitely ordered killing - God is a God of mercy and equally a God of Justice - you believe otherwise is folly
@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 I dare you to find one place in the NEW COVENANT where God tells even ONE person to kill anyone! F.Y.I., I've read the entire Bible through about eight times; KJV and the NKJV most of those, along with reading the whole Bible in the original Hebrew, studying many important words in the Greek, often using Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, etc. Besides reading it myself, I spend about an hour listening to the narrated Scripture almost daily. We may indeed be listening to different versions of the Bible, and there are some pretty bad twists made in some common translations. For instance, 1 Cor. 13 correctly DOES NOT SAY "Love always protects". LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS. Even death. God didn't protect His own Son from a torturous death. GRACE IS NOT FAIR. You don't deserve forgiveness any more than a murderous terroritst, Sir. And I implore you to BE TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind; not conforming any longer to the murderous, bitter, self-defensive, fear-mongering norm of this world.
This is truly the Christian way, we should never do things to seek some sort of reward, we should do good anyways. Dont focus on heaven or reaping a reward, let Christ decide if we are worthy and do good anyways. It starts with leaving a life of deep sin 💛✝️

I'm going through a very difficult time. But I ask God to strengthen my will to do good to those who see me as their enemies. I ask God to please take control of my mind, my life, and my children and even bless those who hate me
The love of God outspeaks the evil of my enemy.
Makes "perfect" sense. God bless all.
Amen
God bless you John! I love your sermons and I can't wait for more!
Why did Jesus trust Judas despite the fact that he knew he was gonna betray him? Why do you think he didn't cast him out from among the group? I believe the answer is, Love.
Jonathan Chambers idiot. I dip my fore finger in the watery blood of your impotent mad redeemer and write over his thorn torn brow: the TRUE prince of evil - the king of slaves! I give love to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates! There is nothing wrong with showing vengence and he who turns the other cheek is a cowerdly dog! Man is just another animal sometimes better more often worse than those that walk on all fours, because of mans "divine spiritual and intellectual development" has become the most vicious animal of all! He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom. Are we not predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist? Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, is this not the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon his back when kicked? Blessed are the strong for they shall posses the earth-cursed are the weak, they shall inherit the yoke! Blessed are the bold, for they shall be masters of the world-Cursed are the righteously humble, for they will be trodden under cloven hoofs! Blessed are the victorious, for victory is the basis of right-Cursed are the vanquished, for they shall be vessels forever. Blessed are those that believe in what is best for them, for never shall their minds be terrorized- Cursed are the "lambs of God" for they shall be bled whiter than snow! Blessed is the man who has a sprinkling of enemies, for they shall make him a hero-Cursed is he who does good to others who sneer upon him in return, for he shall be despised!
Jonathan Chambers yes
Sally Nunes, and yet throughout your cursing upon us, we have become even more blessed.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
You say "Blessed are the victorious", yet our God Jesus has secured the ultimate victory.
It's never too late to recognize the never ending love that God has for all of us. It's never too late to see that He strengthens those who seek Him - and that is why the meek, the weak, and those who love enemies can be blessed and stand strong.
@@sallynunes6157 love is never wasted! It is hard to love our enemies, but I don't think it means you should go above and beyond for them, just treat them with kindness. Sending you my love.
My enemies are my family the main one is the one who birthed me in this World.
mariobros882000 Yup got That RIGHT
mariobros882000 Being her negative self she's always hate me and treats me like a dog.
+Angel Martin this is sad but from a person who is experiencing the same, remember this Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
mariobros882000 THANK YOU SWEETIE. I STILL GOTTA MOVE AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN. I CANT RAISE MY CHILDREN. IT HURTS ME I HAVE TO FORGIVE MY MOM BECAUSE SHES THE REASON I GOTTA LEAVE MY CHILDREN MORE THAN ONCE.
mariobros882000 what you mean?
Hard pill to swallow thank you.
I loved the examples you gave Pastor John! They helped me better understand the scripture, thank you and God bless you!

I learned this before. It is not my duty to hate someone who did this to me, but indeed for me to love them. I love my parents, my grandparents no matter what right? So why not share that love for those who need it? Such as your enemies.

I would not say that I have enemies. Some people don’t like
Me but I just go about living my own life. I guess I could say
That I had enemies as a kid, but I just went about living my
Life then too.
I love my enemies because without them, I would have never found out how much stronger I had become.
God is an amazing God! Amen!

Praise the Lord! Refreshing 😢
Been having to learn this these last few months. Been very hard and really needed to be reminded of this. Walking that extra mile and turning the other cheek and praying for your enemies is crazy difficult but rewarding
I can't Thank you enough for using real complex examples, and clarifying loving and trusting. God help me love my mom

This video should have more views. Powerfull words.
TheTruthseeker707
It takes time for a video to get many views, and it does
Not matter anyway.
This video should have more actions! There's no virtue in hearing God's word yet not doing it.
WOW Pastor John, I really needed to hear this. Ever since I found out about you, you have always inspired me!
I absolutely love how you used potential real life situations to illustrate to your points.
Thank you! With God we can all do this with his Holy Spirit all things are possible I am convinced that if the world worked together to truly do this it would be a beautiful place to live in now
I can’t compare this message to any luxury & power this world has to offer.

I’m so love with what you talking about beautiful messages, every one supposed be like Jesus , Love you my lord Jesus Christ so much please be Always with me now and forever 🙏🏻❤️🌞🍀🌈😇
God bless you 🙏🏻❤️
I rewinded John asking the third question like 5 times 😂 I don’t want to just do what’s right outwardly. I want a heart change. I want it just be my nature. I’m 24, and I’ve gave my life to Jesus when I was 22. There’s been ups and downs, but he’s been growing me and showing his goodness and glory to me in ways that are just mind blowing.... it’s gotten to the point where I can’t help help but notice my prideful nature, and I can’t stand it. I love him, and I really don’t like that there are things in my character (like how my flesh craves praise and honor, and recognition) that I know are unpleasing to him.... but he keeps showing me his goodness... And then I realize he knew all these ways in me were already there when I first gave myself to him, and he reached right into my mess, not caring how my dirt would get on his hands and pulled me out and started cleaning me up for a deeper relationship and communion with him... Anyway, he’s been ministering to me about it, so I know now it’s only a matter of time before I truly grasp ahold of letting that go. But man, I want to be able to show love to any and everybody without there being any perverse intentions. I want to lay myself down for others not because I know I should... but because it’s who I am. I want to be a pleasing aroma unto Jesus. A humble and acceptable sacrifice. Help me Lord.
you said exactly what i can't say or write into words. thank you. Jesus is here for us. He knows our heart and He will take care of it for us as long as we surrencder it to Him.
Amen. Yes, Lord. This is also my prayer.

September 25, that is coming Sunday is my birthday and my heart's desire is to be closer to God and deepen my intimacy with him. These words of wisdom are my best birthday gift ever. Mattew 5:45a 'That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven. I am blessed to obey my heavenly Father who freely forgives me and calls me His daughter. I am so grateful for this wisdom, imparted to me at this age of my life. Indeed, God loves me.
Praying for your "enemies" is peaceful relief at it's
most - POSITIVE! Since, we must let go of - hatred.
Thank you for this message. I really needed to hear this.❤💙
Someone was unfair and mean today. Thank God He told me to look for something like this and John Piper just gave this awesome message!

I am incredibly grateful for pastor Piper
Amen!!😇🙏 Having Jesus in me is the only way I can accomplish loving my enemies and praying for those who persecute me. Let's do this...thank you God!!😇🙏

I dont care about the reward in heaven. I crave peace with my heart with god now here on earth.
An enemy can be someone who you’d consider to be your friend but inwardly they don’t have your best interests at heart. They may be your “friend” but get you to feel or do things which cause you to stumble from the Christian faith! I pray anyone reading this will be freed from such people!
i see pastor john desire God very much i like the way he smile while preaching ,God bless u pastor john, love from indonesia

Excellent short teaching on, to me, what is the most perplexing and outright offensive teaching of Yeshua. The point that the Father and the Son of Man will repay them and repay us clarifies everything and gives me the ultimate rationale to try
the teaching out. There will be perfect Divine Justice in the end for all. That's what will enable us to do this, with wisdom, little by little. We just need a lot of discernment and wisdom in how to apply this based on context.
Joseph waited 13 years
John Piper is a true and real Christian. I forever hope him and his loved ones are doing well, are never pushed or harmed ✝️ when we finally set our limits we are told we are false Christians or mean, it is never not once true. Another Christian hated me and claimed "who are we". I dont wish to be included with others, still please take great care of yourself.
This is a hard truth, it needs those who eat meat but not those who drinks milk. Thanks Pastor. God bless you more
Never thought about forgiveness and trust in that way, very helpful

Woe to you who are respected by the earth. If you aren't persecuted, you're more than likely doing it wrong
That was the best explanation of those scriptures I have ever heard. I do these things mostly but its very hard and frustrating. Loving your enemies is hard but if you can put yourself in their shoes for a few minutes and try to understand them it will help you to love them and see their point of view. You never know what someone else has been thru.
Thank you, I needed to hear this today...
Thank you for this it was most needed . Thank you Jesus
Thank you
This is such a great sermon on this. Thanks!!
wow! so beautifully explained.
Love always protects..... and there is a time to kill the enemy. Truth.

@@journeyfrombitterness Love God Love people and dispatch those who are dispatching others - I follow the spirit not man books or songs
@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 What do you mean by "dispatch"? Kill? You don't follow books? I do. There are 37 in the New Testament alone. And in none of those will you find any mandate from God to kill anyone, since Jesus paid for all of our sins, and in the NEW Covenant, we are not told to give people what they deserve, but the loving forgiveness they DON'T deserve. I'll pray for you, friend. I didn't understand the NewCovenant grace until after 40 years of being an Old Covenant believer, so I don't have ANY stones to throw at you if you're still calling for justice instead of mercy.
@@journeyfrombitterness you are reading a different Bible than I am
-God has most definitely ordered killing - God is a God of mercy and equally a God of Justice - you believe otherwise is folly
@@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210 I dare you to find one place in the NEW COVENANT where God tells even ONE person to kill anyone! F.Y.I., I've read the entire Bible through about eight times; KJV and the NKJV most of those, along with reading the whole Bible in the original Hebrew, studying many important words in the Greek, often using Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, etc. Besides reading it myself, I spend about an hour listening to the narrated Scripture almost daily. We may indeed be listening to different versions of the Bible, and there are some pretty bad twists made in some common translations. For instance, 1 Cor. 13 correctly DOES NOT SAY "Love always protects". LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS. Even death. God didn't protect His own Son from a torturous death. GRACE IS NOT FAIR. You don't deserve forgiveness any more than a murderous terroritst, Sir. And I implore you to BE TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind; not conforming any longer to the murderous, bitter, self-defensive, fear-mongering norm of this world.
I am blessed with this message. It's deep. God bless you
I’m dead to my enemies. They are the ones that need to bring me roses and sing for me.
Thanks John. I love listening to your messages... God bless you.
This is truly the Christian way, we should never do things to seek some sort of reward, we should do good anyways. Dont focus on heaven or reaping a reward, let Christ decide if we are worthy and do good anyways. It starts with leaving a life of deep sin 💛✝️
Biggest part of my Christian journey I learned vengeance is not worth it.
Fire!hallelujah
Thank you Jesus!!!!

A wonderful lesson; thankful the Holy Spiirit is sanctifying me. I have been such a phoney person all my life, even as a Christian I did things for notice. I have seen a neighbor change, not from me but from the Holy Spirit leading her to Christ. We were enemies a year ago.
