Read the book of James. When you read God’s word He will give you strength to fight temptation. Because when I face anger or lust, I remember God’s word, and His word gives me strength.
Was James written to the church ? James 1:1 “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.”
Tinker Diggens I suggest you read the book of James in the Bible, I’m reading it right now. The Lord will give you strength to fight temptation when you seek Him.
Jesus................... Jesus......... I just don't know how to live my life everyday.. I love him and I am ready for him.. I don't need any worldly things. I mean I know it won't make me happy. 2020 I need him more..
Here are some words from Jesus in scripture, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another." (John 15:7-17).
Yah is good to me; I tremble. I die daily, and it's not me but Him. Thirty minutes is a long time though. I think it's because my old man was so evil that I know sin so well and so I hate sin so much, that I can't spend more than a split second with such a sin. I'm single and when I see a good woman I instantly end up in a discussion of repentance with the Father for thirty seconds, or maybe a minute or two, before I forget it. I feel attraction, not lust, but I feel the temptation to lust and if Jesus didn't kill it a bottomless pit would form. I focus on His Truth and soon I forget the woman and my thoughts return to purity. Each time it gets a little easier and less tempting.
@PJ It's very deeply rooted so It's a long explanation. It's all Jesus. I had what I'd call a perfect conversion about twenty months ago. The influence of the world ego died to me, I instantly knew I was myself for the first time, that I would be this way forever, and this was my 33rd birthday. My ego died that day, I have no ego, and since that day I have not experienced a single temptation of anger nor jealousy. It's been over a year now since I have felt a fear. I mean, my body chemistry can still go haywire in socially drastic circumstances but I simply don't agree with my body, and I have no fear of Satan nor for my body. I gave up all worldly culture as I just think it's not good enough to value. It's also crucial that I live every moment in Shalom; the one true peace only Truth Himself can bring. The process of Christ strengthening my Shalom was very drastic so my Shalom holds up about perfectly to anything. I read Romans 7 and that allowed me to sin without doubting my perfect Spirit. Not doubting my perfection of Spirit gave me the full belief that offers the very best results. I learned to always rest in Jesus. My focus is simply rest in Jesus 100% of the time and be sure my ego is 100% dead 100% of the time. This is very natural to me, thank Jesus, and everything else is simply the result. Over time I ministered more and more often to my coworkers telling them The Gospel, Salvation, rebirth, and how awful, evil, and worthless their world and values are. Because I'm blessed with His Perfect Spirit I'm actually very much liked and loved for this. I guess I'm almost perfectly above reproach in such matters and His holy kindness always shines forth. I'm not of any Church ego or denomination or anything. I was cooking at a bar and, because its sin based income, I knew I'd have to quit someday as Hebrews 10 teaches. The revelation that Christ sets us free from fear of death let me properly read Hebrews 10. Hebrews 10;26-27 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." The adversaries being demons, sin, etc... The day came I was on RUclips ministering the Holy Spirit to a man who was an all-doctrine no-Spirit type Christian and I was suddenly filled with rightous indignation against his words. So the indignation turned against my own sin based income source and I was moved to quit my job lest I be a hypocrite. Because I love my coworkers and I thought of them as my flock, I was crying and I was like "Sin and Satan separate us and I HATE sin and I HATE Satan." Shalom, joy, hating sin, hating Satan, fullest belief, being dead to self, and resting in Jesus are the keys in my case. So I was still porn addicted despite being blessed to treat others perfectly other than looking at women and having desires. I was, however, always thinking to keep away from dominance, perversions, etc; until my flesh became curious again; but such only weakened my temptations ultimately. Best I can say is that because there is no condemnation in Christ, I have no ego, and I insist on resting in Him and letting Him do all; for these reasons I never tried to quit porn. Rather I allowed my Christian honesty to be in my lust with me, knowing I needed Christ to defeat my lust. Thus each experience I honestly deeply learned that I was less and less down with it. I'm always studying, I'm preparing to do my very best at an online ministry/teaching. I watched a couple videos from: ruclips.net/video/AOeZcWFNCCc/видео.html (Not this video, same channel) His videos are all perfect and Holy Spirit inspired. Thus I was moved by The Spirit and I just couldn't decide to look at porn. Now it's easier every day, like quitting drugs, so if I didnt do it yesterday I won't today nor tomorrow and so on. Quitting porn has me in a place that my thought responses keep improving; I pay attention of course. I'm tempted to sin little enough that each temptation stands out and so it's easy to pay attention to. Heterosexual lust has definitely been my most drastic addiction, given its biophysical characteristics and the fact I have a good true desire for a wife also. Now I'm in the circumstance I mentioned in my first comment.
@PJ To be clear, I didn't try to quit porn because if it was done by my will I could not trust it. If I were willing against my desires then the need to change my desire would be not fulfilled (I think this is similar to casting one demon out the house and seven coming back). And I just keep my ego dead and rest in Jesus so attempting to quit sin is just not how I look at things.
@PJ This is an important key! I think that in order to share The Gospel as a reality I have to fully express that I fully believe. Therefor I must accept and express His deliverances with absolute confidence and zero compromise. Also, if I say His crucifixion has healing power but I'm not living in it then what credibility would there be? This puts me in situations where people wrongly think I'm proud and arrogant, because they think everyone acts on ego, they think I'm a myth. The irony is if I had ego I would insist on appearing humble and then I would not demonstrate full confidence. I think the social pressure to hold back our boasting in Christ is one of Satan's most effective tactics. I refuse to downplay the certainty of Christ, so I must tell people they are wrong daily. I want everyone to believe and so I deeply desire to demonstrate deliverance as perfectly as possible. Of course all this comes from Jesus, and that's why I forgot to mention it before. I also want believers to know how real and powerful His deliverances are because we can only live the gifts we can believe. All this need for confidence for others' sake has supercharged my whole journey; so all of this fully integrates into the long explanation in my first reply and vice versa.
@PJ I thank Jesus you truely believe. My heart is lighter because I know you exist. Know there is nothing holding you back; Satan is defeated. As much as you believe His deliverance you will live in it; doubt not. Mark 9, 23-24 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." I suggest reading the whole passage of Mark 9, 14-29
Thank you Pastor for the reality of sin & fighting it. Prayers for your battles & GOD help us to kill that sin at the root before it takes hold. I’m more aware than ever if it in me as I study the Glory of GOD & what my Sin does to Him. 😔😢
Thanks for the practical advice! Excellent! What some people don’t recognize is the sin rising in them. They think they have a “right” to a bad attitude because others have sinned against them.
Mary-Jane Chambers Very true! It’s somewhat like the eye for an eye mindset which is not what Christians should be following! We need to keep fighting against our hatred, our anger, our desire to snap back or seek vengeance and instead follow Jesus example of love.
I really admire how John Piper in front of everybody was able to share something he has personally struggled with. God bless Piper! Whatever sin in our life that causes us to stumble we must kill in such a way there is absolutely no possibility for it to come back to haunt us. The painful part in my experience is laying the building blocks to make that happen. In other words, the most painful part about killing a sin is killing anything that will in any way cause that sin to come about.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.
😮 wow! Omg !! 2 nights ago at 3 am I woke up with a dialog in my mind and it was EXACTLY THIS!! 😱 I had not heard this sermon ye! But that dialog was the same as this message!! I even took notes praising God! for the revelation I received! Wow
I love Jesus Christ & The Holy Spirit Power. &. Acts 1:8 $ Romans 1:16 & Genesis 1:1 to revelation. 22:21. & I like to share faith with others. Psalms 91:1 supersedes our Comprehension.
Thank you thank you thank you! This words were so pinpoint to muito heart that I felt that in fact that is the way to go and deal with all the tribulation I'm going through... simply "killing" the sin as soon I realize it's coming. I ask God to give me the strenght. Thank You!
thanks for preaching on fighting against a grumbling heart and self-pity and false expectations. It's so rarely talked of and such a real sin to fight against. Praise God for this message
I have so much respect for you, sir. Sometimes I listen to you or other pastors I respect and wander if you all battle temptations like this. Not that I'm glad you go through the same battles, but, I somehow find peace in knowing we all face the same giants. Thank you for your honesty and I will pray for you and your family.
He just blesses me. He is so real isn’t he? Just the sort of sin that we all fall prey to. It sort of gives me extra hope that such a godly man as John piper still struggles with these sins. Just gives a person a real live hope. Bless you john
Yes, Pastor John, I will pray for you, & all your team at, 'Desiring God'. Thank you all, for the teachings of our heavenly Father's walk with us in a real-time way of understanding how the bible is truly timeless, & God's love, an everlasting joy. I am asking, no, begging, for His Miracle, His Plans that lift me out of the snare.
I love John Piper, his passion is so powerful. I got caught up in something he said at the beginning though. He contrasted the working out your salvation not being a threat but a gift. He said something like it's not because my life is at stake, though it is. Then he said because God is in you. So if God is truly in you how could your life be at stake? It seems like he accidentally said you can lose your salvation. Just curious
I had a similar thought brother! I think this question would make for a solid Ask Pastor John podcast - do I work out my salvation as if life is at stake or as if God is working in me. Maybe send them an email? The part about salvation might make a decent footnote too.
@2020 design Tutorials Your life is at stake not because you can loose your salvation, not because you could die, but because you can loose the blessings that you have in life. If he had said something sarcastically or judgmentally, he and his wife may have ended up in an argument, and perhaps his daughter crying. The peace in the home disrupted and broken. Not dealing with those personal annoying attitudes can eventually destroy a marriage and a home. In that way: your life IS at stake.
2020 design Tutorials I guess you could say that if you don’t strive for that desire to crush sin then you may be proving you aren’t saved at all and indeed in danger of hell.
There it is......the self-life.......or part of it, I believe and so WE-KILL-IT!! Amen Amen! No way is it easy, But thanks be to God in Christ Jesus who gives us the Victory!!!! Thanks for sharing, really!!!! Oh, this has helped me understand the reality, too of our fight against sin!
I'm glad God has shown me this because whenever I read his word, Every thought, every memory every feeling attacks me! And I have to kill it! When I feel it coming I have to kill it. I have to kill it so that it will be dead!
There are two types of people in the world... Those who watch Supernanny... ....and those that don't get to. John Piper is the greatest. Soli Deo Gloria!
Thankyou for your thoughts i wonder if at that moment of the battle we should go to the Lord our high priest as well as meditating on the word of God because i dont think we can win without Him.
Paul states clearly in Rom 5:20, THAT THE LAW WAS GIVEN TO MAKE SIN APPEAR GREAT, BUT GRACE IS GREATER THAN SIN: νόμος δὲ παρεισῆλθεν, ἵνα πλεονάσῃ τὸ παράπτωμα· οὗ δὲ ἐπλεόνασεν ἡ ἁμαρτία, ὑπερεπερίσσευσεν ἡ χάρις· And Paul also tells in 1 Cor 10:13, THAT TEMPTATION IS LEAD BY GOD AND WITH TEMPTATION GOD IS PROVIDING AN ESCAPE or OUTCOME: πειρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρώπινος· πιστὸς δὲ ὁ Θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ δύνασθε, ἀλλὰ ποιήσει σὺν τῷ πειρασμῷ καὶ τὴν ἔκβασιν, τοῦ δύνασθαι ὑμᾶς ὑπενεγκεῖν. And again Paul said clearly in Col 1:13, THAT GOD RESCUED US FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS AND BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM (= REALM) OF HIS BELOVED SON CHRIST: ὃς ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ σκότους, καὶ μετέστησεν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀγάπης αὐτοῦ. (ATTENTION - Paul uses two times an AORIST: ἐρρύσατο = HE HAS DELIVERED and μετέστησεν = HE HAS TRANSFERRED US in order to UNDERLINE THE DIVINE FACT!) Greetings from Germany & many thanks for bringing that topic up. PS: There is NO SPACE & NO TIME TOTALLY WITHOUT GOD, Psalm 139. We know ALONE BY CHRIST, that God is NO TYRANT BUT AS DESCRIBED IN THE LOVE CHAPTER 1 COR 13!
Thanks Pastor John for sharing, it has been a blessing. I was little intrigued by the part where you said, "there will be no evil desire arousing in our hearts in heaven," (paraphrased) so am curious to know, then "from where did it arrive in the fallen angel (Lucifer) while he was in heaven."? (Just a curiousity, caz I get stuck at this question everytime I ponder over the doctrine of 'original sin'!)
Mr. E so when you are bothered you make fun of someone’s appearance ? I’m glad I don’t listen to whoever you listen to preach 😂. Someone condescending for no good reason doesn’t listen to John Piper? All that does is show your flaws, not Johns.
Since you will not apologize, why don’t you simply take down all your anti-Trump articles? There are, what, four? Do you still stand behind your denunciations of Trump and those who voted for him? “Naive” and “presumptuous”? What a strange, irrational position for someone who is ostensibly pro-life. Can you see why I’m still here to call you to account for your actions?
Read the book of James. When you read God’s word He will give you strength to fight temptation. Because when I face anger or lust, I remember God’s word, and His word gives me strength.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve never read it but I’ll do so keeping in mind what you’ve said. Thank you Charles, brother in Christ. I love you ❤️
Was James written to the church ?
James 1:1 “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.”
Thanks brother, will definitely do that!
@@Kevin-nr9hp To the twelve tribes.
But can be applied to us
Man can this guy preach
one of my favorites, show much power and conviction and honesty in his preaching
Also gives much comfort in his sincerity! Good stuff
By Gods grace *^
Nasty flesh rising every day of my life I hate it so much!! Fight the good fight of faith
Tinker Diggens I suggest you read the book of James in the Bible, I’m reading it right now. The Lord will give you strength to fight temptation when you seek Him.

I just don't know how to live my life everyday..
I love him and I am ready for him..

Y’all, the conviction is real! 🙌🏾

Yah is good to me; I tremble. I die daily, and it's not me but Him. Thirty minutes is a long time though. I think it's because my old man was so evil that I know sin so well and so I hate sin so much, that I can't spend more than a split second with such a sin.
I'm single and when I see a good woman I instantly end up in a discussion of repentance with the Father for thirty seconds, or maybe a minute or two, before I forget it. I feel attraction, not lust, but I feel the temptation to lust and if Jesus didn't kill it a bottomless pit would form. I focus on His Truth and soon I forget the woman and my thoughts return to purity. Each time it gets a little easier and less tempting.
@PJ It's very deeply rooted so It's a long explanation.
It's all Jesus. I had what I'd call a perfect conversion about twenty months ago. The influence of the world ego died to me, I instantly knew I was myself for the first time, that I would be this way forever, and this was my 33rd birthday. My ego died that day, I have no ego, and since that day I have not experienced a single temptation of anger nor jealousy. It's been over a year now since I have felt a fear. I mean, my body chemistry can still go haywire in socially drastic circumstances but I simply don't agree with my body, and I have no fear of Satan nor for my body. I gave up all worldly culture as I just think it's not good enough to value. It's also crucial that I live every moment in Shalom; the one true peace only Truth Himself can bring.

I know right? No mater where I search or who I ask no one could explain it like Piper.
There are others; David Wilkerson for example.

Your life is at stake not because you can loose your salvation, not because you could die, but because you can loose the blessings that you have in life.
If he had said something sarcastically or judgmentally, he and his wife may have ended up in an argument, and perhaps his daughter crying. The peace in the home disrupted and broken.
Not dealing with those personal annoying attitudes can eventually destroy a marriage and a home.
In that way: your life IS at stake.
I think he's answered this question in another video. If I find it later I'll post the link here
Well look at that, it was one of the suggested videos ruclips.net/video/UWQiFKVaWVk/видео.html
2020 design Tutorials I guess you could say that if you don’t strive for that desire to crush sin then you may be proving you aren’t saved at all and indeed in danger of hell.
AMEN GOOD MASSAGE THANK YOU BRO
There it is......the self-life.......or part of it, I believe and so WE-KILL-IT!! Amen Amen! No way is it easy, But thanks be to God in Christ Jesus who gives us the Victory!!!! Thanks for sharing, really!!!! Oh, this has helped me understand the reality, too of our fight against sin!
I'm glad God has shown me this because whenever I read his word, Every thought, every memory every feeling attacks me! And I have to kill it! When I feel it coming I have to kill it. I have to kill it so that it will be dead!
There are two types of people in the world...
Those who watch Supernanny...
....and those that don't get to.
John Piper is the greatest.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Thankyou for your thoughts i wonder if at that moment of the battle we should go to the Lord our high priest as well as meditating on the word of God because i dont think we can win without Him.
You are funny man, love it
Paul states clearly in Rom 5:20, THAT THE LAW WAS GIVEN TO MAKE SIN APPEAR GREAT, BUT GRACE IS GREATER THAN SIN:
νόμος δὲ παρεισῆλθεν, ἵνα πλεονάσῃ τὸ παράπτωμα· οὗ δὲ ἐπλεόνασεν ἡ ἁμαρτία, ὑπερεπερίσσευσεν ἡ χάρις·
And Paul also tells in 1 Cor 10:13, THAT TEMPTATION IS LEAD BY GOD AND WITH TEMPTATION GOD IS PROVIDING AN ESCAPE or OUTCOME:
πειρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρώπινος· πιστὸς δὲ ὁ Θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ δύνασθε, ἀλλὰ ποιήσει σὺν τῷ πειρασμῷ καὶ τὴν ἔκβασιν, τοῦ δύνασθαι ὑμᾶς ὑπενεγκεῖν.
And again Paul said clearly in Col 1:13, THAT GOD RESCUED US FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS AND BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM (= REALM) OF HIS BELOVED SON CHRIST:
ὃς ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ σκότους, καὶ μετέστησεν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀγάπης αὐτοῦ.
(ATTENTION - Paul uses two times an AORIST: ἐρρύσατο = HE HAS DELIVERED and μετέστησεν = HE HAS TRANSFERRED US in order to UNDERLINE THE DIVINE FACT!)
Greetings from Germany & many thanks for bringing that topic up.
PS: There is NO SPACE & NO TIME TOTALLY WITHOUT GOD, Psalm 139.
We know ALONE BY CHRIST, that God is NO TYRANT BUT AS DESCRIBED IN THE LOVE CHAPTER 1 COR 13!
Most sin is self not getting its proper due.
Thanks Pastor John for sharing, it has been a blessing.
I was little intrigued by the part where you said, "there will be no evil desire arousing in our hearts in heaven," (paraphrased) so am curious to know, then "from where did it arrive in the fallen angel (Lucifer) while he was in heaven."? (Just a curiousity, caz I get stuck at this question everytime I ponder over the doctrine of 'original sin'!)
Pastor John addressed your question in this episode of "Ask Pastor John": ruclips.net/video/ECPCLhe3UQo/видео.html
@@nathanwood6707 thanks

Piper looks more and more like a muskrat each day
Great comment sir. Im sure it is very uplifting and kind for you to mention that.
@@David-ys1dt he just bothers me. Plus he's a calvinist and teaches Hellfire and pretty unbiblical guy
Mr. C because hell exists
Mr. E so when you are bothered you make fun of someone’s appearance ? I’m glad I don’t listen to whoever you listen to preach 😂. Someone condescending for no good reason doesn’t listen to John Piper? All that does is show your flaws, not Johns.
@@mr.e1220 it is detrimental to not preach hell
Since you will not apologize, why don’t you simply take down all your anti-Trump articles? There are, what, four? Do you still stand behind your denunciations of Trump and those who voted for him? “Naive” and “presumptuous”? What a strange, irrational position for someone who is ostensibly pro-life. Can you see why I’m still here to call you to account for your actions?
Amen!
