This is literally me. Constantly exhausted. Literally every single thing is a chore. I want for nothing or hate everything and my bed means everything to me. I’m just forced to exist. And don’t want to face reality.

my prayers go to you, the lord is in control but we must cry out aloud to him to receive his mercy. the devil is the one trying to keep you down because you are a precious person to God. and everything that is priceless to god the devil hates. so I will pray for you to get up and cry out aloud to the Lord for his joy to receive his strength to fight the devil standing up. and never again be under the snare, and oppressed by Satan. we set him back to the pit of hell where he belongs. you are free from the bondage of Depression, condemnation abandonment, rejection, and laziness, procrastination, that he put around you. we break this bondage in Jesus' name I pray.

I'm lazy.. I've been this way since I was like 8/9 yrs old. Idk why I'm like this. Movement makes me exauhsted. Everything I do is a chore and a burden. I also suffer from Anger (wrath) Gluttony but am starting to come out of the sin of lust. I recently rededicated my life to Christ and I've been convicted alot lately. I want him to set me free. Please Jesus. I don't want to have these bad habits anymore. Please cleanse me.
Laziness is when there are things you should be doing but do not do, because you'd rather do nothing. It is not necessarily relaxing. The Father relaxed on the seventh day. Also, that which we should be doing is for the Glory of the Father. Don't confuse being busy with being productive. If you're spending your days slaving away for some corporation, trading your life energy for worthless paper, then you are spiritually lazy because your prime motivation as a servant of Jesus Christ should be to seek him continually in all things and in all ways.

I felt that I was slowly going down this path so I wondered, "How can I be saved from my laziness?" Then John shows Titus 2:14. My name is Titus. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like God is telling me to stand up and face my fears and work hard!
Sounds to me like anxiety and depression. There is a lion in the streets, not a thought out excuse, but an actual fear. Can't get themselves up, the exhaustion that you just have no energy. No drive. And it is indeed self destructive. I relate to this sluggard too much, and know that it is a spiritual and a sinful thing. And am just so thankful for the remedy.
@@funniestvains7680 I know I do encounter bouts of irrational sadness. But after I hear this sermon and made up my mind to stop worshipping comfort and laziness, I find it became so much easier to just get up and get going! I pray you'll soon experience a breakthrough (it may not be anything 'dramatic').
Indeed the answer is always in the Word. The double edged sword the dividing soul from spirit. Slothfulness, is an emotional stronghold, a soul wound like lust or greed, or gluttony. After leaving an unhealthy situation, I currently endure panic attacks that aim to keep me locked in a dark room suffering with anxiety, not being all that I am called to be. That is a lie of the enemy. “The Lord did not give me a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind” I will not allow the enemy to have me self destruct. Jehovah Rapha is the God who heals, and by Christ’s stripes my mind is healed. I rebuke the sluggard spirit, and the spirit of overwhelm and heaviness. Today got up. I got out. I made myself useful. I walked to the beach. I talked to my Maker. Today was a win. Tomorrow will be even better in Jesus’ name. ❤️🩹 Amen, amen and amen. 💡🕊📖
I cannot describe how accurate this is! I wish I would stop worshiping ease like I do now. It leads to self destructive depression. Please pray that I believe the Gospel not just with my head and self reliance, but with my heart and with God reliance. Please and thank you guys.
I too can relate to the sluggard although I tHe lion outside as symbolic to anxiety, fear, depression - I relate to this struggle not as a purposeful laziness but for me - it has indeed been cause of depression that drains me of energy, mornings it is incredibly hard to wake up no matter how many alarms I set, then facing the day seems like a hard task and find every excuse to avoid going outside to interact. It is a sin and one that isolates and profits no one. It is unproductive and shameful because others I’m afraid will judge it as “laziness” - sad because I don’t consider to be a lazy person ... but no motivation or energy or drive at all. I need Jesus to shake me up and out. 😔 Thank God for His victory ... I claim it in Jesus name 🙏🏼
I’m literally facing everything u said word for word. Depression has been depleting my energy and it’s taken a toll on my finances & personal life. I been struggling with this since 2021 not knowing that this was spiritually related.But I feel the love of god in my life , because as I speak the good lord is disciplining me. I had a dream of a man asking me to speak up and rebuke the spirit of laziness and sloth. Till that dream I never realize the devil has blinded my eyes to the laziness I was facing. I have always thought of it as depression but it has turned into something more sinful. I wanna take my lord and savior Jesus Christ for coming back for me ; for giving me a second chance in life. For I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me forever .Amen
Laziness is oppression by the enemy. I will be set free , when I overcome the stronghold of thinking I can’t do anything without uppers. This is a lie from the enemy. I rebuke this thinking and ALL negative thoughts! Thank you Jesus, my testimony is on the horizon!
Lord almigthy, help me and my opponents not to have any excuses for being lazy, binding myself freed of every enslavement to laziness upon no return in my life, loosening the word of proverbs 26:13-16, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 binding myself and the body of Christ freed from being unequally yoked with and have any common share with any evildoer serving satan in being lazy, binding myself freed of every unwantedness to work, binding myself freed of every unwantedness not willing to work while binding every spirit of laziness to the pit of hell, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
Wowww...I came here because I was looking up some things on laziness and what makes a person so lazy...and I remembered that Laziness is mentioned in the Bible....this video was very enlightening, Laziness is a very serious thing... it's a Mental, Strong Hold...its a type of Bondage... and we must pray and ask God to break the chains of Laziness...God doesn't want us to be a procrastinator or Lazy, He wants us to be productive in Life, He gave us life and he wants us to enjoy it to the fullest 🙏❤...thank you for this inspiring video and God bless 🙏
I was taken completely by surprise when the remedy was discussed. Definitely something I most desperately needed to address in my life. Thank you Pastor John
For years the love of ease has been dominant in my life over me wanting to get healthy and fit and has resulted in me becoming morbidly obese having no life and being sedentary and over 400 pounds. I'm slowly fighting and getting healthy and fit by slowly destroying this love of ease.
I can admit that I can be very lazy at times. Sometimes it takes me hours to get out of bed and do the work I have to do. Even though I do a bit of work and am not a complete sluggard I do still have some problems that I need the Lord to help me with. Thank you for this analysis, this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I pray the God blesses you with courage, strength and confidence. That the Lord instills in you a deep sense of duty and love. Glorify the name of Jesus Christ in even the smallest of things, that is your purpose, that is your only motivation. In Jesus Christ name I pray. In the words of Jesus Christ from John chapter 5. "Rise up, take your bed, and walk." God bless you through all the spiritual warfare.
After reflecting recently and repenting, I've sought out scripture to help me in my sloth. Just went through Proverbs, and it helped a lot. I recently watch a video where John said to first "check under the hood." I've been looking into eating better & moving more to help motivate my body. I do not want to be the way I am - it bothers me. What am I willing to do? I'm willing to look at my sinful nature & repent, I go to God daily and throw myself at his feet, asking for His help! I am a work in progress, and God willing, will be working for His Glory! (It's all about His Glory!)
It’s been my third year since Christ saved me, and at the beginning of my faith i thought everything was depending of me, i learn calvinism (and u won’t put it the fault on it) but it seems lime i quite didn’t understand the responsibility of man even if God is sovereign, my heart hardened because i thought i didn’t have to do things, i though i was arrived you know and i my flesh wanted to be confortable. At the beginning of my faith i was so in fire , i read the New Testament by the time i could say go! And at one point i thought i was arrived somehow, when i understood what Christ has done it’s like if i had enough.. so i kind of stopped putting myself to work of searching him, and that is where everything started to arrive. I don’t know if it good to do that but i have a couple of reasons why my heart tends to do that. Because of the way I’ve been raised but i don’t think we should look in that direction .. cause we are new creatures now ! In Christ. It’s been my third tear in the Lord now, and it’s been more than 1 year since i struggle a lot. I was far from the Lord , cause he wanted me to repent and i wanted things to be easier but i really created a reality and it’s like if it was a fortress, i don’t know if satan can use that stuff against me (i guess) but yeah I’ve seen brethren that i was walking with before the pandemic and i saw their progress and i was really impressed .. at the same time i realized how i didn’t really progress.. i was ashamed and it made me see … I thank you Lord .. im so selfish ..i just wanted tour benefits, i just wanted you to fill me with your spirit without doing nothing in return , i was thinking and still thinking that i diserve something, i was also thinking that there is no problem since you got all of this in your hand.. and im so sorry .. please make me able to repent , take this sin Lord and make me hate it cause it hurted me… being so full of self that i don’t even take care of myself, sleep late cause i want to enjoy every second and don’t miss anything, I’ve walk by the flesh , and i died , as you said it in your word. Im sorry father i wanted you to do everything for me. Make me this new creature please i want to serve you and be on fire for you and be serious, be a man of God .. if i want to have a family and take care of them i need to become a man and im scared to become a man. Lord it is not just laziness it is bigger than that. But you are greater than that ! Lord please make me love you more than myself , i don’t want to be someone that has the appearing of godliness but denying its power.
This was good. I think I fit the description of a sluggard. I've had some big reverses the last six months, and do have a certain amount of physical pain to deal with, but I have long struggled, and much longer than six months, with a real lack of much motivation.
Outstanding! I’m incredibly grateful for this expounding on the scripture. I never knew how to relate the turning of a door on its hinges to the laziness paradigm. Very helpful for me!
Thank you for this, Pastor John. I praise the Lord for letting this pop out on my feed. I shall surely write this down. Such wisdom and insight, all glory to God!
Desiring God, Can you put your TH-cam videos with English subtitles please? I'm from Colombia, and i like your videos and I try to understand, but if you could put subtitles it would be helpful for some who want to know more of Jesus like me. Thanks a lot, and excuse my english. Thank you and God Bless you all.
Bryan, if you click on the CC there at the bottom right of the video screen, next to the "settings" icon and the "full screen" icon, the subtitles will be turned on. I hope this helps.
I’ve read that verse a lot of times but never understood the Lion part or the deeper meaning of the door part bout being stock and not going anywhere.. Thank you, you’re a very wise man
I hear this man. I get his “take” on this excruciatingly painful condition/situation ..... or what I call a “paralysis”. But I wonder why there is a chuckle in his voice? Is this the thrill of knowing... The excitement of arriving? A friend once told me that when I finally arrived at a place of awareness, I would laugh out loud. Anyhow, “I have become comfortably numb” I was compelled to search for the bible reference on laziness and sloth. Here I am.
Wow that was an awesome topic! I was just thinking to myself few minutes before I looked up your video that Laziness is a mindset. I need to stop telling myself that I am tired or that I can't do something and renew my mind by telling myself the opposite. It is true that laziness destroyes you. I lost my job so often because I was lazy and I always tried to justify it by saying that my boss just didn't appriciate my good effort. But I can see clearer and clearer that it was a lie I was telling myself because I didn't want to face the truth I guess. Be honest with yourself. Truth will set you free🙏 Btw can you touch on this topic a little more and go deeper into how we can cure laziness? How we can not just read the bible but really implement it and reprogram our mind so that we belief that we can do it and become more like christ. Thanks alot for your channel it has helped me alot and god bless you❤
I need prayers for my laziness and to have more assurance of my salvation. This spring break, I have felt very lazy and have been struggling mightily with my assurance of salvation for about 2 months. Please pray for me, for God can set me free from these troubles.
I feel this way struggling with laziness and depression everything is a chore and things to do but I don’t have the time to get things done may the lord set me free from this and renews me in he’s name may the Holy Spirit touch me with he’s peace in Jesus name amen 🙏
Thank you for this beautiful illustrations about what Laziness is and the remedy from Gospel. God bless you❤. I needed this so badly this days, I was confused what was wrong with me lately. I used to love to learn and study, but after I don't know the exact time, but I stopped reading, writing(which was my favourite). I used to have brilliant ideas, not anymore. I just do nothing, just its not right. But now Bible makes it clear. I repent for my laziness. I ask God to reveal the truth and give strength in Jesus name.
for some reason i genuinely want to cry and scream when ppl ask me to do stuff. like, i get so annoyed when ppl make me run errands, and i hate having to solve issues. it genuinely pisses me off for some reason. i know its a spirit of slothfulness
what scares me is my chronic pain/insomia/fatigue put me down this road and i beg and cry out for help then getting sicker... chronic depression has destroyed me. i lost jobs due to the pain... i ask God to take me out since im useless. I really hope little by little God will help me find ways to still walk, find ways to calm the screaming pain to be able to read His Word etc. im struggling to breathe now. ( Asthma) inhalers no longer works. this video just makes my fears worse. i do collapse easy now that thought plagued me trying to figure out how to balance work and rest. 😢 i wish for no one to be in my position!!! not even my worst enemy
With the sword of The Spirit you must put this sin to death, read the word, and heed the warning of God. The sluggard can see the danger, but he doesn't do anything about it. Do something about it. Put your faith in God ask Him to restore you.
I am locked in laziness/depression/lack of motivation/lack of vision. Why? Because I am retired and have a good pension at the age of 47 so I don't need to work. But everytime I think about starting to do something I battle with the inner voice, 'you are just doing this for money you don't need', or you are just fleshy etc. My interests are woodwork, photography, web development and being a musician/recording studio. I know if I had a real vision and purpose I would be 1000% active and dedicated but every time I think it through I end up condemning myself so I do nothing. I started a woodwork vlog and quit because I thought I was just making a reputation of myself and seeking to greedily earn money I don't actually need, then I started a photography channel and quit because of the same reasons. I could do voluntary work but that means making a commitment to other people and I am afraid I will let them down. I had a breakdown in 2010 and could not even speak. I was really very mentally ill. There are still some apprehensions and fears about doing anything, especially where it involves a commitment and reliability. Because of my situation I have been spending a lot of time on my phone, Twitter, Facebook and mainly TH-cam. I came across this video because I know I need help. I really need to know it's ok before God to do something. I have very diverse skills but I feel they are wasting away due to my fear of using them. As a Christian, I am so aware of the world, the flesh and the devil. I just can't seem to get out of the ditch I'm in. Before my breakdown I was very motivated and career driven, I had to because I had a mortgage and Bill's to pay, but now my mortgage is played and I'm retired through I'll health. I have been diagnosed with a degenerative mental disorder. I really need some advice. If I was in the world I would have started a business by now and probably be very active and earning good money but as a Christian I obviously don't want to serve money and greed. But as a result I find myself lazy! I hate it but I don't know the way out. I know it's got to be something I want to do that will get me out of this mindset. I would be grateful for any help advice. Thanks.
PG Tips Am sorry to hear about your situation, but Jesus s loves you and may He continue to uphold you in Jesus name. I don't know where to start from, l think you need to stop feeling sorry and guilty about yourself. The Lord has given you various talents, please put them in practice. Making money and being wealthy is not sinful, it's sinful when it takes control of your entire life, you worshipping it. You can still do your jobs, and make a difference to real genuine Christians who can benefit directly from this. There are so many ways Christians can benefit from you, start getting involved with the many Christians projects all over the world, then you'll realize how limited your finances and time is, but also reaping the Spirit benefits Amen
Freedom can be even more scary and challenging than imprisonment! Your gifts/talents from God however need developing! Certainly you do not know all there is to know about each one! Our gifts are to be use to bless others with now than you are secure and have yourself taken care of. Congratulations on that! You do remind me of myself. I worked hard, saved money and paid things off so Id have time to pursue my art. I have so much time and freedom but bewilderment, confusion and low ambition. I have been such a well trained slave that I don't know how to realize I am not on the treadmill anymore! It has seemed wrong that I can enjoy myself and do art now even though it will take years before it is up and flying. I am willing to wait out my shock. It is not easy to rewrite my own chapter. Ego. With what you love most and make effort to show up each day to develop and cultivate what God gave you and let him grow it into something beautiful. I hope you find rest and peace within and flow in your gifts. They are meant to bless you AND others. Dont deny yourself the enjoyment of developing what you have been given to contribute to society. ❤️
Go to work, and with the money you earn but don't need, put it to a good course..go and make others happy with your donations, get involved by helping others, teach others your skills and your world will open up, full of love and light ❤️😇
I can recommend 'crown career direct'. Have a look, it's a Christian tool that has helped me clarify my calling when it comes to work. I felt I had so many talents, but was using them in a crooked way. It also helepd me understand why I was not doing great in my previous bussiness, even thoug it was witin the area of my intersts. The test results have helped me a lot with staying focused on my path, as prior to that I would change my mind so often and felt like I was going around in circles. The level of precision about our talents, values, traits of character, abilities and many more aspects was really a game changer for me. I also stopped thinking in terms ' what's wrong with me' but started to concentrate on what and how can I use what I have. Hope you'll fing a way of you current situation. Blessings
Please pray for me my laziness has been destroying me for months I have been lazy, lazy Lazy! And even as I read the word it feels as if it’s a chore then I would fall asleep please pray that the Lord may set me free I don’t like living in a habit of laziness or any sin he is worthy and my flesh loves ease it loves comfort please beg that the lord may deliver me !
For the past 7 years, I have attempted to repent of laziness in school and work, but I have failed. I always asked Jesus to help me, but that was also an act of laziness since Jesus wants us all to overcome things ourselves since He already did His part in dying on the cross. Pastors and Bible teachers all say that the Holy Spirit will guide you and empower you, but I never felt the strength.
With all the bible distortion due to the enemy with all bibles, this is incredibly valuable to have. Thank you so much. So many people don't believe me when I talk about passages/words being replaced.
My copy is the 1611 KJV my father received and read when he became a follower of Christ as a Catholic though. The words are all mixed up in specific passages. Matrix, couches, bottles, justus (for Jesus...really?) and even mufflers to name a few are in random areas. Even in Lamentations it mentions Aliens. ALIENS.
Word. No idea what to do next in my life. Jesus is my Lord and savior and I know by reading the word that apart of my purpose to spread the good news, but what about everything else? Like jobs, how to survive, what God wants me to focus on, etc.
@@AbysmalRandomn3ss Me neither. I’ve been feeling absolutely awful about myself for never doing anything productive. I come home from school to sleep and scroll mindlessly through my phone. I have interests like music and art, but i barely practice them because I get mad at myself when I’m not good at it at first. I’ve been playing guitar for two years technically and still haven’t played my mom her favorite song for her like I promised, barely touch the expensive keyboard she got me. I feel like God must be so mad at me. I don’t know what he wants me to focus on and I just hate myself. I have no personality anymore.
@@giannawilliams1031 Well 6 months later I’ve come to grow some more in life and I’m quite glad to say that the answer is in His word. And here’s what I mean by that, be satisfied in Jesus friend. I don’t feel awful anymore all glory to God. Being in awe of His excellence is the way. It ain’t gonna be a quick switch, it takes time and discipline to understand and love Christ as we continue to get into His word. And let me tell you beloved, The Lord isn’t mad at you for being young and confused. There is grace and His love. After receiving Christ Jesus God only sees Him when you have short comings. He loved you enough to die for you, we need not be on fearful expectation as we once were without Him, but now that we are in Him there is no condemnation. Now for some practical stuff yo. Out of your Art, Music, etc, just do them. Set aside time in your day to at least do an hour of any of them. Only by practice and discipline do we advance in anything, the Holy Spirit will help us in our weakness and fleshly groaning. Lastly in addition to reading your word, pray and always communicate with the Lord your God homie. He’ll show you the way. Believe, you will see Gods wonders. Hope this helps homie. Soli Deo Gloria.
How do we know when it is depression and when it is laziness? It sounds to me there is a VERY VERY fine line between the two. Also, Christians who have already accepted Christ can experience this, so how do we overcome it?? Truly struggle with this, especially during this time of being home 24/7. How do I overcome this?
It’s even worse when you don’t want to use your depression as an excuse of being lazy. Like I have so many things I want to do but my energy and motivation is so parched. Is this laziness at that point or still my depression. I don’t even make goals anymore cause I feel like they’re not off God. I lost any motivation to do anything. I hate it. It’s a cycle and it’s self destruction. I wish I didn’t exist. But here I am. I don’t know how to stop. I don’t want to be like this. I just listened to the part about the remedy and it makes me feel better. But is it wrong to have goals
I feel this.... I am dealing with pmdd.... It takes a complete toll on my ability to do things... Gods been helping me but i still deal with the depression and suicidal idealization. And ill very much want to do things... Its very fustrating
Just because you've accepted Christ doesn't mean you're free from personal strife or spiritual assault. The scriptures say the exact opposite actually. Whenever a behavior/thought-pattern becomes chronic or obsessive you're dealing with a demonic spirit. The Kingdom of God is all about balance and order. All needs are supplied and everything has a place. The Kingdom of Darkness is all about imbalance and disorder. Either excess or lack. No satisfaction. Always hungry, thirsty, tired, and depleted.
I’m so lazy and tired and unmotivated at the moment I just want to sit in my house 😫😫 I’ve prayed for help I just can’t seem to get going 😫😫😫 I do work and feed the kids but do minimal house stuff I spend 90% of my time reading my bible but I need to do stuff 🤦🏻♀️
I am not in education or work, I am 23 had struggled with Traumatic experience at age 16 that completely deranged my world.. It took me 3 years then moved out on assisted living, I got a job once but I couldn't sleep in the night, meeting so many new people made me have terrible nightmares and cold sweats. That lead me to getting flu and because of it I became sick and then unemployed again, now I have been on unemployment for 4 years in total. I'm so afraid of people ever since that traumatic experience, it is alot easier for me to stick to myself, though I know it is not righteous to stay in this "bubble" life style. Please pray for me 🙏
So Sir, how exactly do I apply the remedy in Titus to my life for it to take effect please? I have seen it, and read it, but how do I use it use it to cause a change of heart?
If I can get some advice/feedback. I am not working at the moment however I have been hungry to get to know God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit so I have been locking myself away to read the word and watch informative videos. I know at some point I want to go out and share and feel selfish just doing this. I am not sure if this is pleasing to God and being lazy to look for work. Please pray that I am guided into a job at this time family
We don't necessarily have to have a official job to not be considered lazy. We work around the house. We do chores. We share the gospel or do some kind of work for the Lord.. there's many ways. Maybe take a few days to read and study up and spend some quiet time with God then go do something in the world.. come back and read even more later on💖🙏🏼
I command the Demonic spirit of Belphogor out of my brothers and sisters in Christ in the mighty name of the Messiah Yeshua our Savior! May goodness fill us instead so that our works may glorify the Most High's name. Amen.
This is literally me. Constantly exhausted. Literally every single thing is a chore. I want for nothing or hate everything and my bed means everything to me. I’m just forced to exist. And don’t want to face reality.
Praying for you. I hope you see the beauty and power of Christ

Thank you, you’re right
Come on Jesus!
I am so convicted of this sin: sloth. It is not preached as much on pulpits.
I felt that I was slowly going down this path so I wondered, "How can I be saved from my laziness?" Then John shows Titus 2:14. My name is Titus. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like God is telling me to stand up and face my fears and work hard!
hugs
Prayers sent. I feel the same way, fighting mental issues.
Sounds to me like anxiety and depression. There is a lion in the streets, not a thought out excuse, but an actual fear. Can't get themselves up, the exhaustion that you just have no energy. No drive. And it is indeed self destructive. I relate to this sluggard too much, and know that it is a spiritual and a sinful thing. And am just so thankful for the remedy.

Jehovah Rapha is the God who heals, and by Christ’s stripes my mind is healed. I rebuke the sluggard spirit, and the spirit of overwhelm and heaviness.
Today got up. I got out. I made myself useful. I walked to the beach. I talked to my Maker. Today was a win. Tomorrow will be even better in Jesus’ name. ❤️🩹
Amen, amen and amen. 💡🕊📖
Please pray for me. Im tired of being lazy and unmotivated. GOD called me gor better and I can't grow while I'm stuck in the same place.
Same
We're all here for the same deliverance.
I cannot describe how accurate this is! I wish I would stop worshiping ease like I do now. It leads to self destructive depression. Please pray that I believe the Gospel not just with my head and self reliance, but with my heart and with God reliance. Please and thank you guys.
I repent Lord I’m so sorry thank you for forgiving me of this. You are giving me mercy to learn
I too can relate to the sluggard although I tHe lion outside as symbolic to anxiety, fear, depression - I relate to this struggle not as a purposeful laziness but for me - it has indeed been cause of depression that drains me of energy, mornings it is incredibly hard to wake up no matter how many alarms I set, then facing the day seems like a hard task and find every excuse to avoid going outside to interact. It is a sin and one that isolates and profits no one. It is unproductive and shameful because others I’m afraid will judge it as “laziness” - sad because I don’t consider to be a lazy person ... but no motivation or energy or drive at all. I need Jesus to shake me up and out. 😔 Thank God for His victory ... I claim it in Jesus name 🙏🏼
I’m literally facing everything u said word for word. Depression has been depleting my energy and it’s taken a toll on my finances & personal life. I been struggling with this since 2021 not knowing that this was spiritually related.But I feel the love of god in my life , because as I speak the good lord is disciplining me. I had a dream of a man asking me to speak up and rebuke the spirit of laziness and sloth. Till that dream I never realize the devil has blinded my eyes to the laziness I was facing. I have always thought of it as depression but it has turned into something more sinful. I wanna take my lord and savior Jesus Christ for coming back for me ; for giving me a second chance in life. For I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me forever .Amen
Laziness is oppression by the enemy. I will be set free , when I overcome the stronghold of thinking I can’t do anything without uppers. This is a lie from the enemy. I rebuke this thinking and ALL negative thoughts! Thank you Jesus, my testimony is on the horizon!
My brother in Christ, this is me. I'm reading this on adderal. I will embark on this journey of overcoming laziness with you.
Strong prayer,
Amen
Amen! In Jesus name!
Lord almigthy, help me and my opponents not to have any excuses for being lazy, binding myself freed of every enslavement to laziness upon no return in my life, loosening the word of proverbs 26:13-16, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 binding myself and the body of Christ freed from being unequally yoked with and have any common share with any evildoer serving satan in being lazy, binding myself freed of every unwantedness to work, binding myself freed of every unwantedness not willing to work while binding every spirit of laziness to the pit of hell, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
Wowww...I came here because I was looking up some things on laziness and what makes a person so lazy...and I remembered that Laziness is mentioned in the Bible....this video was very enlightening, Laziness is a very serious thing... it's a Mental, Strong Hold...its a type of Bondage... and we must pray and ask God to break the chains of Laziness...God doesn't want us to be a procrastinator or Lazy, He wants us to be productive in Life, He gave us life and he wants us to enjoy it to the fullest 🙏❤...thank you for this inspiring video and God bless 🙏
I love this series. Almost as much as John loves that digital pen :)
LOL
smartin up,
leave John alone..lol
I was taken completely by surprise when the remedy was discussed. Definitely something I most desperately needed to address in my life. Thank you Pastor John
By this i can see im lazy. Lord have mercy on me. Please pray for me. Edilson
I see verse 15 as similar to saying: "the sluggard never finishes what he has started".
For years the love of ease has been dominant in my life over me wanting to get healthy and fit and has resulted in me becoming morbidly obese having no life and being sedentary and over 400 pounds. I'm slowly fighting and getting healthy and fit by slowly destroying this love of ease.
I can admit that I can be very lazy at times. Sometimes it takes me hours to get out of bed and do the work I have to do. Even though I do a bit of work and am not a complete sluggard I do still have some problems that I need the Lord to help me with. Thank you for this analysis, this is exactly what I needed to hear.
Im not lazy but I sometimes think I work to much just have to find that balance
❤❤❤❤❤❤🧡🧡🧡🧡😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..... There is a lion in the street gat me😂😂😂Thank you Sir!
I’ve been in the bed 2 days straight I hate leaving my room
I pray the God blesses you with courage, strength and confidence. That the Lord instills in you a deep sense of duty and love. Glorify the name of Jesus Christ in even the smallest of things, that is your purpose, that is your only motivation. In Jesus Christ name I pray.
In the words of Jesus Christ from John chapter 5. "Rise up, take your bed, and walk."
God bless you through all the spiritual warfare.
Sounds like something I would do.
I feel so condemned. I pray Jesus will heal us of this dark sin
@@bigjokerhere111 That was beautiful. In Jesus name.
I genuinely need a part 2 on how to effectively fix it. 😭💔
I needed this! So glad I’m subscribed to this channel. This is exactly why I’m subbed.
God bless John Piper.
After reflecting recently and repenting, I've sought out scripture to help me in my sloth. Just went through Proverbs, and it helped a lot. I recently watch a video where John said to first "check under the hood." I've been looking into eating better & moving more to help motivate my body. I do not want to be the way I am - it bothers me. What am I willing to do? I'm willing to look at my sinful nature & repent, I go to God daily and throw myself at his feet, asking for His help! I am a work in progress, and God willing, will be working for His Glory! (It's all about His Glory!)
I needed to hear this. May God help me get over laziness.
It’s been my third year since Christ saved me, and at the beginning of my faith i thought everything was depending of me, i learn calvinism (and u won’t put it the fault on it) but it seems lime i quite didn’t understand the responsibility of man even if God is sovereign, my heart hardened because i thought i didn’t have to do things, i though i was arrived you know and i my flesh wanted to be confortable. At the beginning of my faith i was so in fire , i read the New Testament by the time i could say go! And at one point i thought i was arrived somehow, when i understood what Christ has done it’s like if i had enough.. so i kind of stopped putting myself to work of searching him, and that is where everything started to arrive.
I don’t know if it good to do that but i have a couple of reasons why my heart tends to do that. Because of the way I’ve been raised but i don’t think we should look in that direction .. cause we are new creatures now ! In Christ.
It’s been my third tear in the Lord now, and it’s been more than 1 year since i struggle a lot. I was far from the Lord , cause he wanted me to repent and i wanted things to be easier but i really created a reality and it’s like if it was a fortress, i don’t know if satan can use that stuff against me (i guess) but yeah I’ve seen brethren that i was walking with before the pandemic and i saw their progress and i was really impressed .. at the same time i realized how i didn’t really progress.. i was ashamed and it made me see …
I thank you Lord .. im so selfish ..i just wanted tour benefits, i just wanted you to fill me with your spirit without doing nothing in return , i was thinking and still thinking that i diserve something, i was also thinking that there is no problem since you got all of this in your hand.. and im so sorry .. please make me able to repent , take this sin Lord and make me hate it cause it hurted me… being so full of self that i don’t even take care of myself, sleep late cause i want to enjoy every second and don’t miss anything, I’ve walk by the flesh , and i died , as you said it in your word. Im sorry father i wanted you to do everything for me. Make me this new creature please i want to serve you and be on fire for you and be serious, be a man of God .. if i want to have a family and take care of them i need to become a man and im scared to become a man. Lord it is not just laziness it is bigger than that. But you are greater than that !
Lord please make me love you more than myself , i don’t want to be someone that has the appearing of godliness but denying its power.
Finally found a channel like this ! ❤
Many thanks for this great and valuable message. This was so pinpoint, accurate and on amazingly perfect time!
This was good. I think I fit the description of a sluggard. I've had some big reverses the last six months, and do have a certain amount of physical pain to deal with, but I have long struggled, and much longer than six months, with a real lack of much motivation.
Outstanding! I’m incredibly grateful for this expounding on the scripture. I never knew how to relate the turning of a door on its hinges to the laziness paradigm. Very helpful for me!
Please pray for me. I am a very lazy person! And now I see where it takes me.
Thank you for this blessed message and revelation Pastor! Great teaching 👍🏻🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️
I come into agreement with the prayer, Amen. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this, Pastor John. I praise the Lord for letting this pop out on my feed. I shall surely write this down. Such wisdom and insight, all glory to God!
Wow everything Piper said is true! Especially about how the mind rationalizes!
Desiring God, Can you put your TH-cam videos with English subtitles please? I'm from Colombia, and i like your videos and I try to understand, but if you could put subtitles it would be helpful for some who want to know more of Jesus like me. Thanks a lot, and excuse my english. Thank you and God Bless you all.
Bryan, if you click on the CC there at the bottom right of the video screen, next to the "settings" icon and the "full screen" icon, the subtitles will be turned on. I hope this helps.

LOVE. THIS. Titus 2:14 means more to me now than ever before! Thank you Pastor John!
I’ve read that verse a lot of times but never understood the Lion part or the deeper meaning of the door part bout being stock and not going anywhere.. Thank you, you’re a very wise man
BRAVO and THANK YOU!
Thank you sir for this life saving literally
I hear this man. I get his “take” on this excruciatingly painful condition/situation ..... or what I call a “paralysis”. But I wonder why there is a chuckle in his voice? Is this the thrill of knowing... The excitement of arriving? A friend once told me that when I finally arrived at a place of awareness, I would laugh out loud. Anyhow, “I have become comfortably numb”
I was compelled to search for the bible reference on laziness and sloth. Here I am.
Thanks a lot from Indonesia. The remedy somehow soothing.
Zealous… wow. What a wonderful word. Amen!
Thanks a lot! This explains why I lost my job now that I know better I will try to get it back;
thank you, this really helps
Wow that was an awesome topic! I was just thinking to myself few minutes before I looked up your video that Laziness is a mindset. I need to stop telling myself that I am tired or that I can't do something and renew my mind by telling myself the opposite. It is true that laziness destroyes you. I lost my job so often because I was lazy and I always tried to justify it by saying that my boss just didn't appriciate my good effort. But I can see clearer and clearer that it was a lie I was telling myself because I didn't want to face the truth I guess.
Be honest with yourself.
Truth will set you free🙏
Btw can you touch on this topic a little more and go deeper into how we can cure laziness?
How we can not just read the bible but really implement it and reprogram our mind so that we belief that we can do it and become more like christ.
Thanks alot for your channel it has helped me alot and god bless you❤
Thanks for encouragement...
Praise God!
I need prayers for my laziness and to have more assurance of my salvation. This spring break, I have felt very lazy and have been struggling mightily with my assurance of salvation for about 2 months. Please pray for me, for God can set me free from these troubles.
I feel this way struggling with laziness and depression everything is a chore and things to do but I don’t have the time to get things done may the lord set me free from this and renews me in he’s name may the Holy Spirit touch me with he’s peace in Jesus name amen 🙏
Thank you for this beautiful illustrations about what Laziness is and the remedy from Gospel. God bless you❤. I needed this so badly this days, I was confused what was wrong with me lately. I used to love to learn and study, but after I don't know the exact time, but I stopped reading, writing(which was my favourite). I used to have brilliant ideas, not anymore. I just do nothing, just its not right. But now Bible makes it clear. I repent for my laziness. I ask God to reveal the truth and give strength in Jesus name.
This can also be related to spiritual laziness; being lazy to read our bibles, to pray, to fully submit to God
Shalom Amen

AMEN!!!

Me too
Amen!
Thanks.

for some reason i genuinely want to cry and scream when ppl ask me to do stuff. like, i get so annoyed when ppl make me run errands, and i hate having to solve issues. it genuinely pisses me off for some reason. i know its a spirit of slothfulness
Amen!!! Christ is the remedy
Forgive me Lord, I have led myself and others down.
That’s true about being lazy and suicidal being the same
AMEN
Excellent
what scares me is my chronic pain/insomia/fatigue put me down this road and i beg and cry out for help then getting sicker... chronic depression has destroyed me. i lost jobs due to the pain... i ask God to take me out since im useless. I really hope little by little God will help me find ways to still walk, find ways to calm the screaming pain to be able to read His Word etc. im struggling to breathe now. ( Asthma) inhalers no longer works. this video just makes my fears worse. i do collapse easy now that thought plagued me trying to figure out how to balance work and rest. 😢 i wish for no one to be in my position!!! not even my worst enemy
This is me ive been stuck afraid ti get back to living and working i fell hard abd ive been stuck in fear, im also 36 days sober from meth.
Keep being sober you can do it
Wow! Wow!
I am a Caribbean man, and it's embedded in the culture not to work 🇹🇹 ,Thank you for info.
I love Jesus ❤

How does this remedy work? What if we have come to faith yet are still sluggards, procrastinators?
With the sword of The Spirit you must put this sin to death, read the word, and heed the warning of God. The sluggard can see the danger, but he doesn't do anything about it. Do something about it. Put your faith in God ask Him to restore you.
@@jurgeysamuel thank you Samuel that is helpful
I am locked in laziness/depression/lack of motivation/lack of vision. Why? Because I am retired and have a good pension at the age of 47 so I don't need to work. But everytime I think about starting to do something I battle with the inner voice, 'you are just doing this for money you don't need', or you are just fleshy etc.
My interests are woodwork, photography, web development and being a musician/recording studio. I know if I had a real vision and purpose I would be 1000% active and dedicated but every time I think it through I end up condemning myself so I do nothing. I started a woodwork vlog and quit because I thought I was just making a reputation of myself and seeking to greedily earn money I don't actually need, then I started a photography channel and quit because of the same reasons.
I could do voluntary work but that means making a commitment to other people and I am afraid I will let them down. I had a breakdown in 2010 and could not even speak. I was really very mentally ill. There are still some apprehensions and fears about doing anything, especially where it involves a commitment and reliability.
Because of my situation I have been spending a lot of time on my phone, Twitter, Facebook and mainly TH-cam. I came across this video because I know I need help. I really need to know it's ok before God to do something. I have very diverse skills but I feel they are wasting away due to my fear of using them. As a Christian, I am so aware of the world, the flesh and the devil. I just can't seem to get out of the ditch I'm in. Before my breakdown I was very motivated and career driven, I had to because I had a mortgage and Bill's to pay, but now my mortgage is played and I'm retired through I'll health. I have been diagnosed with a degenerative mental disorder.
I really need some advice. If I was in the world I would have started a business by now and probably be very active and earning good money but as a Christian I obviously don't want to serve money and greed. But as a result I find myself lazy! I hate it but I don't know the way out. I know it's got to be something I want to do that will get me out of this mindset. I would be grateful for any help advice. Thanks.

Am sorry to hear about your situation, but Jesus s loves you and may He continue to uphold you in Jesus name.
I don't know where to start from, l think you need to stop feeling sorry and guilty about yourself. The Lord has given you various talents, please put them in practice. Making money and being wealthy is not sinful, it's sinful when it takes control of your entire life, you worshipping it.
You can still do your jobs, and make a difference to real genuine Christians who can benefit directly from this. There are so many ways Christians can benefit from you, start getting involved with the many Christians projects all over the world, then you'll realize how limited your finances and time is, but also reaping the Spirit benefits
Amen
@@elle5680 Thank you, lord bless you.
Freedom can be even more scary and challenging than imprisonment! Your gifts/talents from God however need developing! Certainly you do not know all there is to know about each one! Our gifts are to be use to bless others with now than you are secure and have yourself taken care of. Congratulations on that! You do remind me of myself. I worked hard, saved money and paid things off so Id have time to pursue my art. I have so much time and freedom but bewilderment, confusion and low ambition. I have been such a well trained slave that I don't know how to realize I am not on the treadmill anymore! It has seemed wrong that I can enjoy myself and do art now even though it will take years before it is up and flying. I am willing to wait out my shock. It is not easy to rewrite my own chapter. Ego. With what you love most and make effort to show up each day to develop and cultivate what God gave you and let him grow it into something beautiful. I hope you find rest and peace within and flow in your gifts. They are meant to bless you AND others. Dont deny yourself the enjoyment of developing what you have been given to contribute to society. ❤️
Go to work, and with the money you earn but don't need, put it to a good course..go and make others happy with your donations, get involved by helping others, teach others your skills and your world will open up, full of love and light ❤️😇
I can recommend 'crown career direct'. Have a look, it's a Christian tool that has helped me clarify my calling when it comes to work. I felt I had so many talents, but was using them in a crooked way. It also helepd me understand why I was not doing great in my previous bussiness, even thoug it was witin the area of my intersts. The test results have helped me a lot with staying focused on my path, as prior to that I would change my mind so often and felt like I was going around in circles. The level of precision about our talents, values, traits of character, abilities and many more aspects was really a game changer for me. I also stopped thinking in terms ' what's wrong with me' but started to concentrate on what and how can I use what I have. Hope you'll fing a way of you current situation. Blessings
Please pray for me my laziness has been destroying me for months I have been lazy, lazy Lazy! And even as I read the word it feels as if it’s a chore then I would fall asleep please pray that the Lord may set me free I don’t like living in a habit of laziness or any sin he is worthy and my flesh loves ease it loves comfort please beg that the lord may deliver me !
For the past 7 years, I have attempted to repent of laziness in school and work, but I have failed.
I always asked Jesus to help me, but that was also an act of laziness since Jesus wants us all to overcome things ourselves since He already did His part in dying on the cross.
Pastors and Bible teachers all say that the Holy Spirit will guide you and empower you, but I never felt the strength.

With all the bible distortion due to the enemy with all bibles, this is incredibly valuable to have.
Thank you so much. So many people don't believe me when I talk about passages/words being replaced.
Kjv
My copy is the 1611 KJV my father received and read when he became a follower of Christ as a Catholic though.
The words are all mixed up in specific passages. Matrix, couches, bottles, justus (for Jesus...really?) and even mufflers to name a few are in random areas.
Even in Lamentations it mentions Aliens. ALIENS.
I don't know about the other words, but "aliens" is just another word for "foreigner" in most cases in the bible.
@@keizataylor6921 True, but its a modern word for god to use in the time of it being writte
One dislike that must be the lazy person LOL
I’m trying to figure out the difference between being lazy and just not knowing what to do next and being stuck in depression
Word. No idea what to do next in my life. Jesus is my Lord and savior and I know by reading the word that apart of my purpose to spread the good news, but what about everything else? Like jobs, how to survive, what God wants me to focus on, etc.
@@AbysmalRandomn3ss Me neither. I’ve been feeling absolutely awful about myself for never doing anything productive. I come home from school to sleep and scroll mindlessly through my phone. I have interests like music and art, but i barely practice them because I get mad at myself when I’m not good at it at first. I’ve been playing guitar for two years technically and still haven’t played my mom her favorite song for her like I promised, barely touch the expensive keyboard she got me. I feel like God must be so mad at me. I don’t know what he wants me to focus on and I just hate myself. I have no personality anymore.
@@giannawilliams1031
Well 6 months later I’ve come to grow some more in life and I’m quite glad to say that the answer is in His word. And here’s what I mean by that, be satisfied in Jesus friend. I don’t feel awful anymore all glory to God. Being in awe of His excellence is the way. It ain’t gonna be a quick switch, it takes time and discipline to understand and love Christ as we continue to get into His word.
And let me tell you beloved, The Lord isn’t mad at you for being young and confused. There is grace and His love. After receiving Christ Jesus God only sees Him when you have short comings. He loved you enough to die for you, we need not be on fearful expectation as we once were without Him, but now that we are in Him there is no condemnation.
Now for some practical stuff yo.
Out of your Art, Music, etc, just do them. Set aside time in your day to at least do an hour of any of them. Only by practice and discipline do we advance in anything, the Holy Spirit will help us in our weakness and fleshly groaning.
Lastly in addition to reading your word, pray and always communicate with the Lord your God homie. He’ll show you the way. Believe, you will see Gods wonders.
Hope this helps homie. Soli Deo Gloria.
How do we know when it is depression and when it is laziness? It sounds to me there is a VERY VERY fine line between the two. Also, Christians who have already accepted Christ can experience this, so how do we overcome it?? Truly struggle with this, especially during this time of being home 24/7. How do I overcome this?
It’s even worse when you don’t want to use your depression as an excuse of being lazy. Like I have so many things I want to do but my energy and motivation is so parched. Is this laziness at that point or still my depression.
I don’t even make goals anymore cause I feel like they’re not off God. I lost any motivation to do anything. I hate it. It’s a cycle and it’s self destruction. I wish I didn’t exist. But here I am. I don’t know how to stop. I don’t want to be like this.
I just listened to the part about the remedy and it makes me feel better. But is it wrong to have goals
I feel this.... I am dealing with pmdd.... It takes a complete toll on my ability to do things... Gods been helping me but i still deal with the depression and suicidal idealization. And ill very much want to do things... Its very fustrating
I struggle with the same thing, it has been worse in the past and I think i keep making progress but then fall back into this way of living.
Just because you've accepted Christ doesn't mean you're free from personal strife or spiritual assault. The scriptures say the exact opposite actually. Whenever a behavior/thought-pattern becomes chronic or obsessive you're dealing with a demonic spirit. The Kingdom of God is all about balance and order. All needs are supplied and everything has a place. The Kingdom of Darkness is all about imbalance and disorder. Either excess or lack. No satisfaction. Always hungry, thirsty, tired, and depleted.
@@Ashley-ro4xz Hi Ashley. I'm currently feeling the same feelings like you did here. Please tell me what you did to heal

I’m so lazy and tired and unmotivated at the moment I just want to sit in my house 😫😫 I’ve prayed for help I just can’t seem to get going 😫😫😫 I do work and feed the kids but do minimal house stuff I spend 90% of my time reading my bible but I need to do stuff 🤦🏻♀️

I am not in education or work, I am 23 had struggled with Traumatic experience at age 16 that completely deranged my world.. It took me 3 years then moved out on assisted living, I got a job once but I couldn't sleep in the night, meeting so many new people made me have terrible nightmares and cold sweats. That lead me to getting flu and because of it I became sick and then unemployed again, now I have been on unemployment for 4 years in total. I'm so afraid of people ever since that traumatic experience, it is alot easier for me to stick to myself, though I know it is not righteous to stay in this "bubble" life style. Please pray for me 🙏
Only Lord can heal you
What is the program that you use to underline text and make notes?
Modern day terminology: my back is sore 😂🙏🏼
Depression is a lie from the pits of hell!!
So Sir, how exactly do I apply the remedy in Titus to my life for it to take effect please? I have seen it, and read it, but how do I use it use it to cause a change of heart?
This is currently me. I'm currently in this this state I need help...In Jesus name
I read this on my bed, kinda tossing and turning.
Dependent on the state...is lazy ..if we dont work we dont eat..
I was suppose to help volunteer at the church and fix bikes instead I walked out and left.
I feel like I failed God today..
If I can get some advice/feedback. I am not working at the moment however I have been hungry to get to know God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit so I have been locking myself away to read the word and watch informative videos. I know at some point I want to go out and share and feel selfish just doing this. I am not sure if this is pleasing to God and being lazy to look for work. Please pray that I am guided into a job at this time family
Anyone???
We don't necessarily have to have a official job to not be considered lazy. We work around the house. We do chores. We share the gospel or do some kind of work for the Lord.. there's many ways.
Maybe take a few days to read and study up and spend some quiet time with God then go do something in the world.. come back and read even more later on💖🙏🏼
I command the Demonic spirit of Belphogor out of my brothers and sisters in Christ in the mighty name of the Messiah Yeshua our Savior! May goodness fill us instead so that our works may glorify the Most High's name. Amen.
I'm not lazy I go to work and take care of business the more the devil attacks me the more I walk away.
