Ella's, the whole premises of your statement says you only want God if he does things you want and approve of. I did and you are wasting your life thinking you know better than God.

@@chicagotom1643Dear brother, “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all that he has made” Psalm 145:9 “For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in Him might not die but have eternal life” John 3:16. God not only loves everyone, but you specifically and wonderfully. Can a mother forget compassion for her child? though she still may forget the Lord will never forget you. Isaiah 49:15. Don’t ever believe God doesn’t love you

I never ever thought go to bible college. All god told me is one day I above millions and millions of people on that day I got anointed by pastor and the elderly many years ago . I still didn’t have no clue at all . But my heart always wanted to feed the poor , wanted to help the oppression and just simply to tell them about Jesus Christ. All the sudden god told me go to bible college with two kids no money And English is my second language But I trust him over those years showed me the faithfulness of god. Psalm 32:8
So many people criticize Dr. Piper He helps me see all the glorious truths of God and I want to love and glorify Him more because of His wisdom and insight to Gods Word.
It’s not always easy but the Lord has a way of “determining your path”. I am a wood worker and have been feeling the Lords calling to use my skills to share the Love and Life of Christ. I know I don’t know the full Will of Christ in my life as of yet but he surely leads me one step at a time! As you said pastor Piper, it’s a progression.
GoodView Woodworks Amen I’m an animator. Been trying to find out how to use my talents for God for months now. I have some ideas but nothing that stands out. I have faith he’ll reveal it to me if i keep searching.
GoodView Woodworks I know right.. I have the same feeling.. I am a doctor but I am wandering at the moment. I have a strong desire to serve but I am feeling the pull of society.. God is in control ☺ ☺
Goodview I'm in a similar situation as you , but honestly with your skill set, you're in a prime position to offer help to people via carpentry, offering help to people on their home is a great witness, I live in a very economically repressed area , and it's always a gateway to showing people love and opening a door
The answer is Romans 12:2 *_Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect_*. Romans 12:2
Thanks for sharing via TH-cam. Speaking of having holy desires summed up a lot of seeking the world lol 😆 f God. I’ve never thought of my desires being by holy but only desires from the flesh. Great edifying words to remember and act on. Smiles
"Be Still and Know that I Am God.". "Seek ye First the Kingdom of God..and His Righteousness." Still your mind so you can Hear God as He Reveals your life to you..day by day.
Wesley Hite I am so sorry. I have made a lot of serious mistakes in my life..I am still learning too. It is not as easy as it Sounds. God has probably helped you more than you know..but it is hard to know sometimes. Generally..I go by..if it feels Right..it is probably Right. If it feels wrong..it is probably wrong. And then..I Hope I am Right. But I don’t always Know. Sometimes..you just have to take a leap of faith.
Wesley Hite We have to remember too..we are Here to do Gods Will and not our own. When we don’t get our own will..we think God is not Helping us. Maybe it would help if you asked God..What is Gods Will for you?
@@wesleyhite8203 drive out demons in you and all around. That's the reason the Spirit resides in you. Use the power of the Spirit to drive out filthy spirit of doubts and disbelief that break the relation with God and the confidence in Christ, the power of God for us that is much worth than our physical evil desires, false successes that we desire always. Matt12:28~29 is the best way to stand in the Words Jesus have taught us, to lead to the Spirit and Life. ^^
I was walking down a hallway on a nursing unit when I very clearly heard God say to me "this is not what I want from you." I wish I would have listened because what happens after that is embarrassing.
I wish he would tell me that but he’s showing me… you are in the right place!! 😢 am tired of putting 100% in and not meeting my personal needs for housing, inflation because they don’t want to give raises just peanuts. Why would I have to toil like this? Something I’m missing or doing wrong and I’m burnt out and ready to retire
Just do what God has assigned to you in this season and your calling will find you. Thats what he told me to do. I love him and he is a good good father who loves us all.
I've gotta tell ya, this is excellent. Very thoroughly explained and supported by scripture. While we may differ on secondary points, I comment your dilegance to the Word of God and your method of delivering it to a lost and dying world.
I never pursued public speaking, I didn't ask to be a teacher or preacher, but it seems like it found me. Someone was scheduled to speak at my home church and at the last minute couldn't make it. I was asked to speak in his stead. This was my first time preparing a sermon and delivering God's Word. From that moment on I've been asked to speak. My dilemma is that public speaking / preaching doesn't come naturally for me. I am naturally reserved and introverted. In preparing a sermon I have anxiety. I'm not too concerned with getting up in front up people, it's more of what will I say and how will it all come together. I do find that once I'm up speaking all of the angst disappears. I feel great delivering God's holy Word. Then when the next engagement comes I go through this cycle all over again. It just makes me wonder if this truly is for me. Is this really what I'm supposed to be doing? I know a lot of speakers and preachers. It seems like speaking comes so naturally for them and they seem to enjoy it. For me on the other hand, it's a struggle. Everyone says I should be a pastor, I should start a church. But I don't have a desire to pastor or start a church. I have a desire to help people, visit the sick and imprisoned , cloth and feed those in need, help disadvantage kids etc. I really don't care about being up front. I love the Lord with all my heart and I sincerely want to do God's will for my life.
Amen. God bless you. Seek God with all your heart, not man. God has put into you the desire to do his will. Your desire to clothe people etc. Could be the gift of mercy, the gift of giving. I have the similar desire to minister to the poor and homeless and give to them. God is with you. Amen. What an encouragement. You are already in possession of your gifts, now just walk in it! Don't care about what men says to you. Use what God has put in your heart! And be with him everyday. Seek him and you will find him and with him you will have eternal life , even here on earth. The word is clear! His will is to heal the sick, feed the poor, THAT NO MAN SHALL perish, to proclaim the kingdom and love one another..the holy spirit gives us gifts for the body of Christ so we feel the most alive when we are using our gifts but keeping his authority in mind! I'm not saying that you shouldn't do speaking but just as God is Lord over your whole life, and you seek to serve him and the body as best glorifies him. I'm saying God has the answers. Seek him with all your heart! God knows and will bring you into fruition. Keep praying for that. He will open doors for you.
Becky Wang.....Thank you for those kind words of encouragement, I truly appreciate it. You have been a blessing to me. May the Lord continue bless you . 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I know well your dilemma, and what helps,me to accept that nervousness and anxiety preparing or about to deliver a sermon is something I once heard "Nervousness in the gate is the price a race horse pays for being a race horse and not a farm horse." I don't know why that helped me, but it did. It helped me accept the price of being God's ambassador.
@Soloson You're not alone in your struggles to decide what to preach. Here's a couple of messages by Alistair Begg you should listen to. They'll not only help you with what to preach, but Alistair gives examples of other's that had the same difficulty as you. He has some good points and guidelines. 10/2/2018 - The Benefits of Expository Preaching (Part 1 of 2) th-cam.com/video/tL-lu1S7tcI/w-d-xo.html 10/3/2018 - The Benefits of Expository Preaching (Part 2 of 2) th-cam.com/video/upFEYp-sZAU/w-d-xo.html
Recently I am studying to be a successful doctor but ever since I have become close to god I have started having a strong desire of speaking as a gods speaker and awaken the dead soouls no matter how many times I try to council myself to focus on my goal but I have been getting this recurring desire can this be from god?please pray for me💖
Hi Shrestha, If God calls you to be a speaker, he would definitely talk to you. God would speak to you through word of God(Bible) when you read bible some verses speak to you.Pray more. He would definitely guide you. When the Lord directs you will not have any confusion as our God is NOT the "father of confusion". More over remember one thing You will be a speaker, pastor, doctor etc ; these things doesn't decide your eternity. God doesn't decide your eternity based on your spiritual gifts as he is into spiritual fruits which are love,compassion, long suffering etc.
sumina shrestha that’s from holy God . I told you mines, I had been owned food shop for 8 years . But my overwhelming desire always wanted to feed the poor and tell people about Jesus. My business has been sold I never ever thought about bible college But I prayed to god I will obey you whatever job you wanted to do 7 months later god told me to go to bible college. I got poor English I prayed and prayed how to go about this issue. But I trust him because John 3:16 . So are you Don’t worry Philippians 4: 6-7
The pastors of my church were practice doctors or dentists. One become a Youth ministry founder, one become a theologian, and one become a leading pastor. May God bless you sister whatslife and sister Andrea
My heart went out for all the unsaved people of the world, and I've been drawn to street mission work. Of course my first calling is my family, and so I dismissed this thinking I don't have the gift of gab or depth of understanding (especially fearing debating theology and science) but this came to me just now. What do you think? If I was to be a missionary, I would approach people asking if I can pray for them: find out what worries them the most, ask if they believe in God, inform them I will pray for them in Jesus name and ask if that's ok. Let them know that I'm not saying God will answer - there may be many reasons why He wouldn't, but He may choose to do so. Ask them if they are interested to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then ask if they believe and want to accept Jesus' sacrifice on their behalf. Then ask what do they think they need to do now as a Christian, guiding them to understanding that they can have a relationship with God through prayer, reading the Bible and if there are passages that are confusing, they can reach out to Christians in church.
2 Corinthians 7:1 KJVS [1] Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Luke Wagner I think you’re spot on in what you said as the Bible says without holiness, it is impossible to see or hear God clearly! This fact reminds me that a personal commitment to holiness is key to seeing, hearing and being able to receive from the Lord clearly. You made a great and key point Luke and what you said has been a great reminder to me! 👍 God bless sir!
Luke Wagner I had the Godliest man I’ve ever known tell me, before he past away, that 99% of ministry was coming to God with clean hands and a pure heart, which is our duty and responsibility in our personal relationships to Christ and that from there, it is God’s prerogative to use our lives as He sees fit which includes using the skills and talents he has placed in our lives throughout our walk with Him. Also, we must remind ourselves that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all the we could ask, think or even can imagine in some cases! So In closing, as we focus our efforts on approaching our walk with the Lord with the utmost seriousness, sobriety and commitment, HE WILL ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL in guiding our steps as proverbs says that “a man plans his way but it’s the LORD THAT GUIDES HIS STEPS! Praise God for HIS LOVING FAITHFULNESS!!! (Without which we could so easily be lost and confused! I hope this helps. 👍
"No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me." Jeremiah 31: 34 "As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you." 1 John 2: 27
Praise the Lord Jesus n thanku. God will is definitely of peace. Some of us are already doing God will, but it's doing all of it. God bless us always.😇🙏🌎☮️🎶✝️🇺🇲🧩😁
thank you thank you pastor John. I have gathered a lot from your wisdom that comes from the word of God. Please be continually blessed. much love . thank you.
Amen and amen I could sit here and read all your messages tonight but I'm here to tell you you have some good sermons thank God I found the family found a website thank God that's supposed to truth it's a wake up call I've been down that road with the healing ministries and a prosperity with all that blessings you can't give enough money to get blessed people are still given and they got $800 million dollars and they still given and the people are still waiting it's a shame it's discouraging and it makes me sick to see it
There is so much teaching from pastors, prophets, and other people sharing. You Tube has a plethora of knowledge but sometimes it gets confusing and contradictory. I believe in God alone and His Word but even then some say there are 777 books while others say 66 books, so who is right, what is real and truth. I woke the other night hearing myself speaking in a tongue I did not recognize, I went back to sleep and woke myself up again speaking some language. I was not afraid but it was strange. I know God is real, Jesus Christ is real, and the Holy Spirit is real. These days you can not just follow anyone, but God alone.
Thank you- Thank God- for this guidance. I know my purpose. I know my intention is holy,. Somehow I I need to know- with absolute ceetainy- that I am making God proud of me with each step I take. This yearning for perfection brings such procrastination on me, that I know God wants me to move on with it but I don't. Doubt. And God did not give me a for life,but of courage,,,,
This video Pastor John has been so amazing and has filled me up to know what I am doing is God's will to help win souls~♥~This is beautiful it makes my heart leap to go forth and continue in the work I am doing, wow ~♥~Thank you so much pastor I praise God for your teaching and answer to my heart's longing to do God's Will, this is great~♥~
The good thing about the fact that you have over a thousand episodes is that it seems you have some wise words about any problem afflicting me - and my problems are plenty. "Thanks pastor John" and all other people behind this channel.
At 9 years old my mother left my father, my older brother and my younger sister and myself 12 yrs, 9 yrs and 6 yrs old..I dont know why she left but over the next 7 or 8 years she would return and sometimes leave a week later and sometimes we kids would believe we were a family again.....and then she would leave😒... my father,R.I.P, loved her and would run headlong into it time and time again early on he started taking us to church, Baptist .sunday school , morning service and occasionally evening services, they were nice people, the smiled at me, spoke gently...not alot of that happened at home...so, comparatively I had a lighter heart at church..I felt something...kinda..., I thought we would pray at night... children would pray to have a mother again, and were told If you want it and you love God pray to him for your mother's return... (Sidebar...Dick move , leading children down roads of false ....looking at you pop's, everyone at church....) as an "adult" I have come to some realisations: 1. Baptizing a child is wrong, Your not allowed to drive until 16, vote and join military 18, buy alcohol and firearms (handguns) 21...why, so why thinks its ok for them to be responsible enough to promise the entirety of the lifes to something. 2. Being misled by adults appering to "represent" god, does not mean that there isn't a god or this was his intention. 3. The more I ask questions or have conversations with people about god...the more unclear it becomes, they say things like: I felt the lord come into my heart....., I have not You must have faith....., O.K. so you just decided that as far as you are concerned God is real...just like that? In other words , deciding bigfoot is real... because I can say that I believe, go to church and try to be the best person I can be..but internally still hesitate at the word of god or god..then those things would all be for appearances to man because god would know whats in my heart....right? Because if people do these things because 100% they felt and still feel something from god inside them....I don't...if I didn't want to believe it why bother to look...maybe some people were meant for hell , because if God is real..thats where I belong.
Hello friend. Thank you for your heartfelt post. We are all on a journey through a difficult world, being hurt and hurting others. As I read your words, I can't help but sense that God is calling you with His love. Jesus said, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Keep seeking Him. Although we, as His people, are weak and wrestle to throw off our sin, He works through redeemed humans to work good. Although imperfect, you are much more likely to hear God's voice and be touched by His life-changing love in a caring, Bible-believing, local church. I'm so glad I found a friend (very imperfect, but caring) who invited me to a church where my life was radically altered by God. The theoretical possibility that God existed, or that Jesus is who the Bible says He is, melted away in one instant when the Lord opened my heart. May He do the same in your life and give you great joy.
Robert Stone Thank you for the insight.Often I fear I have become to resistant to finding him. The voice of doubt springs to the front of my mind so quickly...self inflicted I suppose..so...long as its not awkward... Thanks again
Nothing to see here Conquer the voice of doubt ... 2 Corinthians 10:5 King James Version (KJV) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; in the name of Jesus!
I've worked in marketing for my whole career and yet it was never what I felt called to do. I'm stuck and very unfulfilled, feeling every day is a waste of my energy and time. I yearn to use my passion and skills in drawing to create comforting, warm, inviting artwork and stories that bring joy to people and emphasize love, acceptance, and living holistically in the present. I just don't know how to make the leap, I work around the clock and earn little money as it is. God please help me know if this is the right path, and if it is, how I can have the strength to walk it, and to trust that you will be there to help me sustain my basic needs while making the transition.
A family Member is asking, “if there is a God and prayers to him, why do I have stage 4 cancer and why did he make me go through my pains in life? I rather give thanks to the doctors and scientists that have been helping me” He didn’t want to hear about praying for him anymore. He is in a same sex relationship and has been for years and angry that God doesn’t heal him. This message seems great to send him. I like the part about Holiness and that desires produce Holiness. Is there any other podcast that talk about being gay and the truth of God? In the Bible and a message from pastor John that helps bring the Bible out like a pop up book? That will get him the truth without feeling like it’s a religion, but get him to believe it’s a true relationship with Jesus Christ?
Your Life today and everyday continually Everlastingly, the Life in Christ.Be the Love of GOD in Christ to Everyone Everyday because It is Eternal, for Everyone in Heaven were Good to each other Everlastingly.
There are countless sermons and how-to guides available on this topic, but to know the Will of God for our lives can be summed up in two words: TO LIVE. [ St.John 3:16; 10:10; I Corinthians 15:28]
Thanks alot for this wonderfull broadcast. Ive experience the lords calling, and this is really helpfull, to get my mind back on track to pick up the stuff ive been lead to .)
Pls pray for me and my girlfriend. We really don't know his plan for us. People have been telling us that God has told them not to continue this. We are still trusting on him because prayers can make anything work and faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. I just need people to pray for me and my girlfriend that things go well in future and help me to reveal his plan personally.
@@gurivindaguntabhavana2483 Thanks for ur concern. Me and my girlfriend are still together and we are planning to talk to our parents next year. Waiting and hoping in patience, hoping God will make this happen but whatever is God's will should be fulfilled.
I’ve been following God for 3 years but I still don’t know my purpose or calling on this earth and I’m waiting for my breakthrough since I’m graduating college in few weeks.
Natasha Let me please be straight forward with you since this is only a quick response to your comment or I say question. First we follow christ we don't follow God. You said you are following God? Do you mean you were born again or just decided one day you were going to believe in God and follow him. We must learn to follow and obey Jesus. Jesus said we must obey him as he obeyed the father. Jesus is our example, and we must walk as he walked. Until you truly understand we must live walk obey and die to ourselves like Jesus did. We must come to the cross and die to ourselves and the world just as Jesus did. You will always live lost in this world. Every day we must take up the cross and die to ourselves and follow Jesus or we will never find the life christ offers us. If you just go to church and live the life you want to best suit your desires in this life, the road you will travel will never conduct to eternal life. Start reading the Sermon on the mount, which is Matthew chapters 5,6,7 read it every day until you know it better than you know anything else in your life. Then, you will have the start of learning to obey Jesus and truly understand the will of God. Jesus explains the narrow way in this passage of scripture and it is the only path that Jesus said leads to life. Jesus said if you don't build your foundation of your life on these sayings that when you stand before him, your life built on anything else but these teachings will not stand up to his judgment.
You won’t know the plan. You will only know the promise. If you knew the plan you wouldn’t need faith. But if u know the promise it takes faith to follow it.
We all have sinned and fell short of the glory to God. The problem is, that God is holy and doesn’t live with sin. So we all deserve to go to hell, but Jesus paid the price so you don’t have to. All you have to do is confess Jesus as your savior and repent (turn from all sin) and you’ll can have eternal life.
I stayed 20 yrs w my husband until death do us part but ,,,,I wasn't really happy a I wasn't married in no church. I'm looking for a worthy Christian hubsnd a want to be joined by God to a man God chosses for me to make me Happy.
Sandra Miller you should ask yourself how you can better support your new husband in the things of God and be the helpmate that God has called you to be and in doing so, God will reveal His rewarding will for your life and when all these things come together it is very common for a couple to become closer and closer not only to God but also closer to each other. A huge blessing and benefit all the way around! 👍
If anyone chooses to do Gods will he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. John 7:16-17 Pray that our flight will not take place in winter or on the sabbath. Matthew 24:20
Praise the Lord, I did a spiritual inventory on paper at 2 churches, but not a test. 1 of mine is a prayer warrior. Also we all have 500 skills, but some are doormat. Yes, it is doing are spiritual gifts. God bless us always.😇🙏☮️🎶✝️🇺🇲😁
I am a born again Christian and have been baptised in the Holy Spirit but I can't hear Gods voice I have been told if I can't hear His voice then how can I obey Him. I long to hear God speaking to me so very much. Please tell me what I should do. Thankyou. Valerie
Valerie Briggs You are hearing Gods voice on reading and mediating on scriptures. Trust what he says and they will soon come alive to you and full of purpose
His word is his voice. See what the scriptures say and do them. What Jesus said. That is all you need. The voice of God is not audible - it may be - but it comes when you make a point to and have a desire to follow his will revealed iinthr scriptures, trusting him and not yourself or your voice. Trusting him. Sometimes we just got to do it!
1) Fear the Lord our God in Heaven. Fear His wrath and the fate of those who are not written in the Book of Life. Fear what happens to those who are abandoned by God and are separated from His grace. (Psalm 111:10, Job 28:26, Proverbs 9:10, etc) 2) Pray daily every morning, noon & night. Pray and ask for resilience against temptations and sin. Pray that the Lord shows you ways to avoid and stay away from those. (Acts 2: 42, Colossians 4:2, 1 Timothy 4:5) 3) Read the Scriptures daily and meditate on it all day. (2 Timothy 3:1617) 4) Be in a church that worships the Lord and join their fellowship. The Church helps every Christian to be complete (1 Corinthians 12:12-31) 5) Pick your best friends among good Christians. (Proverbs 27:17) 6) Stay away from sinful and ill-behaving people. Most of them aren’t Christians. (Proverbs 14: 7-31) 7) Talk to your Pastor, Priest, Minister, or Elders for more advice. It is better that you consistently see them like have coffee with them every now and then, and not only when you’re in trouble or have a problem. 8) Share you faith and always be prepared to defend your faith. 9) Yes. Fasting helps; when you can do it. Some people who are sickly cannot do this. God knows who can. So, He understands if you cannot. 10) Try all these and be righteous through our Lord Jesus. Always have confidence that God will be with you always and in everything you do.
Its actually found in his very prayer to the father. Thy will b done thy kindom come on earth as it is in heaven. fear him for that is the beginning of wisdom and if we truly love him as he told peter we are called to b a kingdom of priests and kings to spread the eternal word of salvation to a crying nation, the seven churches⛪of the world. We are called to glorify him, the glory of the holy spirit of god in christ's resurrection. lets memorize him readily this memorial day. his word his message in the spirit to the seven fold lampstand and the seven stars in his right hand. so having the eternal word of god the word of salvation the spirit of christ the spirit of god the holy spirit is like being in heaven the kingdom of heaven the kingdom of god heaven on earth 🌎.
The Lord is no shepherd. I am in want. he makes me to lie down in thorns. he pushes me into cold water. he destroys my soul. he has led me into temptation. he has delivered me unto evil. I wish I was dead. Death will be a relief. god beats me with rod, and with staff. he gives me exactly what I need, just so he can take it away. he anoints my head with a foul smelling oil. My heart is full of pain. Filled to over flowing. Evidently, pain and heart ache will follow me all the days of my miserable life, and I will dwell in Ur contempt, for ever.
Galatians 6:7-10 New King James Version (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. Dale seek him and he will show you your purpose for his will. We all have gifts there are many.
HI MY NAME IS BRAD BERRY I BELIEVE THE LORD IS CALLING ME TO EVANGELISTIC MINISTRY PASTOR JOHN HOW DO I RECONIZE THAT GOD IS TRULY CALLING ME TO EVANGELISTIC MINISTRY NOT MY WILL BUT GODS WILL BE DONE
Even Moses had trouble speaking to a crowd and God was pretty pissed off about it. He use Moses anyway but through Aaron’s voice to deliver God’s words. So He will accomplish his will through you. Suck it up. You r in it now. Put on a brave face bc your support is God, himself, not another Aaron.
Honestly, the truth is NOBODY knows GOD's will period. Cause GOD is infinite and everlasting! We don't even know each others plan when we meet up with friends or family how much more knowing GOD's will? Cause GOD's will is his plan each day so to speak. The closest we can get to the will of GOD is read HIS word and have a true relationship with HIM & then completely ALLOW GOD to control our life each day. Meaning, being "mindful" with your walk in life cause you are now a child of GOD. That's what having a relationship with GOD is. When you are "mindful" with your walk in life cause you now know that you have a true relationship with GOD then you are walking in HIS will. That's really the closest we can get to HIS will. When it becomes HIS righteousness? When it becomes HIS good works? You are closer to GODs will. At the end of the day? HE is the authority. Only HIM knows. But when you walk with GOD and allow HIM completely in your life then GOD's influence will change you from GLORY TO GLORY! It's really not rocket science but this dying and scheming world complicates it. So many traps and deceiving from satan to influence us and that is why we need the influence in GOD. We have to make a choice! GOD loves you and I so much that HE will not force or impose HIMSELF into our lives. GOD's love is NOT wealth, health and prosperity like these false teachers are preaching but simply sending HIS LOVE. (His only begotten son JESUS CHRIST) to influence us from this corrupt world cause it is all about influences! We need to be influence from the things above! Lastly, GOD LOVE is sending HIS only son as a way out of this demonic world. JESUS CHRIST should be our influence each day and the way out this sinful world.

Ella's, the whole premises of your statement says you only want God if he does things you want and approve of. I did and you are wasting your life thinking you know better than God.
Peoples rejection is Gods protection

God doesn't love everyone.
@@chicagotom1643Dear brother, “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all that he has made” Psalm 145:9 “For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in Him might not die but have eternal life” John 3:16. God not only loves everyone, but you specifically and wonderfully. Can a mother forget compassion for her child? though she still may forget the Lord will never forget you. Isaiah 49:15. Don’t ever believe God doesn’t love you
@@ajhara9400 I have yet to have the experience of God's love or any love.
I agree!!!! Amen
I struggle with this, I feel I have no gifts , and I don't function in the body of christ 😢
1. pray 2. benefical to the world 3. meeting world's needs 4. different inclination for mercy, motivation 5. listen to counselor 6. (subjective) strong desire to do certain task (1. recurrent 2. strong 3. holiness)
Thanks for this.
These are just buzzwords
Thanks!
Thank you.
God bless your heart. 🙏🏾
I never ever thought go to bible college.
All god told me is one day I above millions and millions of people on that day I got anointed by pastor and the elderly many years ago . I still didn’t have no clue at all . But my heart always wanted to feed the poor , wanted to help the oppression and just simply to tell them about Jesus Christ.
All the sudden god told me go to bible college with two kids no money
And English is my second language
But I trust him over those years showed me the faithfulness of god. Psalm 32:8
God bless you
If you haven't made it to bible college yet, and still feel called to do so, Christian Leaders Institute is free, legit, and has a great program.
BLACK N WHITE it “God” not “g”
God bless🙏🏽🤍✝️
O
So many people criticize Dr. Piper
He helps me see all the glorious truths of God and I want to love and glorify Him more because of His wisdom and insight to Gods Word.
It’s not always easy but the Lord has a way of “determining your path”. I am a wood worker and have been feeling the Lords calling to use my skills to share the Love and Life of Christ. I know I don’t know the full Will of Christ in my life as of yet but he surely leads me one step at a time! As you said pastor Piper, it’s a progression.
GoodView Woodworks Amen I’m an animator. Been trying to find out how to use my talents for God for months now. I have some ideas but nothing that stands out. I have faith he’ll reveal it to me if i keep searching.
nicholas cato that’s awesome i believe he totally will!
Thank you for sharing your experience. God works 10,000 things in your life and we might only see 2 or 3 of them.
GoodView Woodworks I know right.. I have the same feeling.. I am a doctor but I am wandering at the moment. I have a strong desire to serve but I am feeling the pull of society.. God is in control ☺ ☺
Goodview I'm in a similar situation as you , but honestly with your skill set, you're in a prime position to offer help to people via carpentry, offering help to people on their home is a great witness, I live in a very economically repressed area , and it's always a gateway to showing people love and opening a door
The answer is Romans 12:2
*_Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect_*. Romans 12:2
What translation is this please?
Thank you, brother or sister in Christ.
Have you been changed?…and how?
Thanks for sharing via TH-cam. Speaking of having holy desires summed up a lot of seeking the world lol 😆 f God. I’ve never thought of my desires being by holy but only desires from the flesh. Great edifying words to remember and act on. Smiles
"Be Still and Know that I Am God.". "Seek ye First the Kingdom of God..and His Righteousness." Still your mind so you can Hear God as He Reveals your life to you..day by day.
I did all that. For 34 yrs. God has never, ever helped me. Never.
Wesley Hite
I am so sorry. I have made a lot of serious mistakes in my life..I am still learning too. It is not as easy as it Sounds. God has probably helped you more than you know..but it is hard to know sometimes. Generally..I go by..if it feels Right..it is probably Right. If it feels wrong..it is probably wrong. And then..I Hope I am Right. But I don’t always Know. Sometimes..you just have to take a leap of faith.
Wesley Hite
We have to remember too..we are Here to do Gods Will and not our own. When we don’t get our own will..we think God is not Helping us. Maybe it would help if you asked God..What is Gods Will for you?
@@wesleyhite8203 what have you done to help god?
@@wesleyhite8203 drive out demons in you and all around. That's the reason the Spirit resides in you. Use the power of the Spirit to drive out filthy spirit of doubts and disbelief that break the relation with God and the confidence in Christ, the power of God for us that is much worth than our physical evil desires, false successes that we desire always.
Matt12:28~29 is the best way to stand in the Words Jesus have taught us, to lead to the Spirit and Life. ^^
I was walking down a hallway on a nursing unit when I very clearly heard God say to me "this is not what I want from you." I wish I would have listened because what happens after that is embarrassing.
What happened? If you're willing to share it
@@1andrian😂 why do you want to know what embarrassed someone else? Nosy 🧐 😂
I wish he would tell me that but he’s showing me… you are in the right place!! 😢 am tired of putting 100% in and not meeting my personal needs for housing, inflation because they don’t want to give raises just peanuts.
Why would I have to toil like this?
Something I’m missing or doing wrong and I’m burnt out and ready to retire
I can relate with the point made about the desire that keeps coming back.True in my life.
Tal return volgende week vrijdag de hele tijd
Just do what God has assigned to you in this season and your calling will find you. Thats what he told me to do. I love him and he is a good good father who loves us all.
andrea arthur well said! 👍
Yes!!
How do you know? I think he told me to write a novel
A rather simplified answer that ignores the question, which is how to know his will. Hard to do his will if you aren't positive what that is.
God has his ways to show me, if I pray with humility , humble heart and broken soul... pray pray pray...
8:30 thank you for saying that Pastor, that was so validating
I've gotta tell ya, this is excellent. Very thoroughly explained and supported by scripture. While we may differ on secondary points, I comment your dilegance to the Word of God and your method of delivering it to a lost and dying world.
Amen! Excellent indeed
thank you Lord for Pastor John.
I love you tommy claxton. I am so thankful God has brought you into my life.
This man of God is really a great teacher of the word. I love his expositions.
I never pursued public speaking, I didn't ask to be a teacher or preacher, but it seems like it found me. Someone was scheduled to speak at my home church and at the last minute couldn't make it. I was asked to speak in his stead. This was my first time preparing a sermon and delivering God's Word. From that moment on I've been asked to speak. My dilemma is that public speaking / preaching doesn't come naturally for me. I am naturally reserved and introverted. In preparing a sermon I have anxiety. I'm not too concerned with getting up in front up people, it's more of what will I say and how will it all come together. I do find that once I'm up speaking all of the angst disappears. I feel great delivering God's holy Word. Then when the next engagement comes I go through this cycle all over again. It just makes me wonder if this truly is for me. Is this really what I'm supposed to be doing? I know a lot of speakers and preachers. It seems like speaking comes so naturally for them and they seem to enjoy it. For me on the other hand, it's a struggle. Everyone says I should be a pastor, I should start a church. But I don't have a desire to pastor or start a church. I have a desire to help people, visit the sick and imprisoned , cloth and feed those in need, help disadvantage kids etc. I really don't care about being up front. I love the Lord with all my heart and I sincerely want to do God's will for my life.
Amen. God bless you. Seek God with all your heart, not man. God has put into you the desire to do his will. Your desire to clothe people etc. Could be the gift of mercy, the gift of giving. I have the similar desire to minister to the poor and homeless and give to them. God is with you. Amen. What an encouragement. You are already in possession of your gifts, now just walk in it! Don't care about what men says to you. Use what God has put in your heart! And be with him everyday. Seek him and you will find him and with him you will have eternal life , even here on earth. The word is clear! His will is to heal the sick, feed the poor, THAT NO MAN SHALL perish, to proclaim the kingdom and love one another..the holy spirit gives us gifts for the body of Christ so we feel the most alive when we are using our gifts but keeping his authority in mind! I'm not saying that you shouldn't do speaking but just as God is Lord over your whole life, and you seek to serve him and the body as best glorifies him. I'm saying God has the answers. Seek him with all your heart! God knows and will bring you into fruition. Keep praying for that. He will open doors for you.
Becky Wang.....Thank you for those kind words of encouragement, I truly appreciate it. You have been a blessing to me. May the Lord continue bless you . 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I know well your dilemma, and what helps,me to accept that nervousness and anxiety preparing or about to deliver a sermon is something I once heard "Nervousness in the gate is the price a race horse pays for being a race horse and not a farm horse." I don't know why that helped me, but it did. It helped me accept the price of being God's ambassador.
Xelaju2013....I'd never heard of that one before. That's a good one to remember. Thank you!! God bless you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@Soloson
You're not alone in your struggles to decide what to preach.
Here's a couple of messages by Alistair Begg you should listen to. They'll not only help you with what to preach, but Alistair gives examples of other's that had the same difficulty as you.
He has some good points and guidelines.

Recently I am studying to be a successful doctor but ever since I have become close to god I have started having a strong desire of speaking as a gods speaker and awaken the dead soouls no matter how many times I try to council myself to focus on my goal but I have been getting this recurring desire can this be from god?please pray for me💖
Hi Shrestha, If God calls you to be a speaker, he would definitely talk to you. God would speak to you through word of God(Bible) when you read bible some verses speak to you.Pray more. He would definitely guide you. When the Lord directs you will not have any confusion as our God is NOT the "father of confusion". More over remember one thing You will be a speaker, pastor, doctor etc ; these things doesn't decide your eternity. God doesn't decide your eternity based on your spiritual gifts as he is into spiritual fruits which are love,compassion, long suffering etc.
sumina shrestha that’s from holy God .
I told you mines, I had been owned food shop for 8 years . But my overwhelming desire always wanted to feed the poor and tell people about Jesus. My business has been sold
I never ever thought about bible college
But I prayed to god I will obey you whatever job you wanted to do
7 months later god told me to go to bible college. I got poor English
I prayed and prayed how to go about this issue. But I trust him because John 3:16 . So are you
Don’t worry Philippians 4: 6-7
Hello dear sister. Where are you today after 2 years? I have the same problem as you do...
Tnx for your response ❤️
The pastors of my church were practice doctors or dentists. One become a Youth ministry founder, one become a theologian, and one become a leading pastor. May God bless you sister whatslife and sister Andrea
What did you end up doing? (Are you a doctor?)
Alimighty God, I thank you for showing me your will throuh the wisdom in this Anwer! May your Name be glorified!!!
Amen
My heart went out for all the unsaved people of the world, and I've been drawn to street mission work. Of course my first calling is my family, and so I dismissed this thinking I don't have the gift of gab or depth of understanding (especially fearing debating theology and science) but this came to me just now. What do you think?
If I was to be a missionary, I would approach people asking if I can pray for them: find out what worries them the most, ask if they believe in God, inform them I will pray for them in Jesus name and ask if that's ok. Let them know that I'm not saying God will answer - there may be many reasons why He wouldn't, but He may choose to do so. Ask them if they are interested to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then ask if they believe and want to accept Jesus' sacrifice on their behalf. Then ask what do they think they need to do now as a Christian, guiding them to understanding that they can have a relationship with God through prayer, reading the Bible and if there are passages that are confusing, they can reach out to Christians in church.
Hello sister how are you doing today?
What have you decided?
2 Corinthians 7:1 KJVS
[1] Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Luke Wagner I think you’re spot on in what you said as the Bible says without holiness, it is impossible to see or hear God clearly! This fact reminds me that a personal commitment to holiness is key to seeing, hearing and being able to receive from the Lord clearly. You made a great and key point Luke and what you said has been a great reminder to me! 👍 God bless sir!
Luke Wagner I had the Godliest man I’ve ever known tell me, before he past away, that 99% of ministry was coming to God with clean hands and a pure heart, which is our duty and responsibility in our personal relationships to Christ and that from there, it is God’s prerogative to use our lives as He sees fit which includes using the skills and talents he has placed in our lives throughout our walk with Him. Also, we must remind ourselves that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all the we could ask, think or even can imagine in some cases! So In closing, as we focus our efforts on approaching our walk with the Lord with the utmost seriousness, sobriety and commitment, HE WILL ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL in guiding our steps as proverbs says that “a man plans his way but it’s the LORD THAT GUIDES HIS STEPS! Praise God for HIS LOVING FAITHFULNESS!!! (Without which we could so easily be lost and confused! I hope this helps. 👍
Without doubt, the best wisdom and instruction I've ever heard regarding making decisions about life choices and hearing God's guidance. Thank you.
Truly.
Praised be the Lord God for His grace and faithfulness truly.
This is the best answer i’ve heard about finding God’s will. 😭
Pastor John and Tony, you're doing a suberb job! God bless you guys richly. ✝️❤️
"No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me." Jeremiah 31: 34
"As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you." 1 John 2: 27
"Holiness" - Wow. That is wonderful.... 😁🙏 The desire to be righteous!! That is brilliant 👏
Praise the Lord Jesus n thanku. God will is definitely of peace. Some of us are already doing God will, but it's doing all of it. God bless us always.😇🙏🌎☮️🎶✝️🇺🇲🧩😁
Thank you Pastor John and Mr. Tony. May God bless y'all.
These are wonderful and really great points. Thank you, pastor John.
thank you thank you pastor John. I have gathered a lot from your wisdom that comes from the word of God. Please be continually blessed. much love . thank you.
Amen and amen I could sit here and read all your messages tonight but I'm here to tell you you have some good sermons thank God I found the family found a website thank God that's supposed to truth it's a wake up call I've been down that road with the healing ministries and a prosperity with all that blessings you can't give enough money to get blessed people are still given and they got $800 million dollars and they still given and the people are still waiting it's a shame it's discouraging and it makes me sick to see it
This is an excellent teaching.
Bible, serving others
This was a fresh perspective and I really enjoyed it!
There is so much teaching from pastors, prophets, and other people sharing. You Tube has a plethora of knowledge but sometimes it gets confusing and contradictory. I believe in God alone and His Word but even then some say there are 777 books while others say 66 books, so who is right, what is real and truth. I woke the other night hearing myself speaking in a tongue I did not recognize, I went back to sleep and woke myself up again speaking some language. I was not afraid but it was strange. I know God is real, Jesus Christ is real, and the Holy Spirit is real. These days you can not just follow anyone, but God alone.
Thank you- Thank God- for this guidance. I know my purpose. I know my intention is holy,. Somehow I I need to know- with absolute ceetainy- that I am making God proud of me with each step I take. This yearning for perfection brings such procrastination on me, that I know God wants me to move on with it but I don't. Doubt. And God did not give me a for life,but of courage,,,,
Ps pray for me keep me in your prayers 🙏🙏 God bless you.
This video Pastor John has been so amazing and has filled me up to know what I am doing is God's will to help win souls~♥~This is beautiful it makes my heart leap to go forth and continue in the work I am doing, wow ~♥~Thank you so much pastor I praise God for your teaching and answer to my heart's longing to do God's Will, this is great~♥~
The good thing about the fact that you have over a thousand episodes is that it seems you have some wise words about any problem afflicting me - and my problems are plenty.
"Thanks pastor John" and all other people behind this channel.
This is so so good. Helped me a lot right now.
Very important video, in a world where God could have made you have any interest or any set of gifts it’s important to pray about it
Completely blown away.
Thank you for uploading this video.

Don't think too much just walk with God🙏
At 9 years old my mother left my father, my older brother and my younger sister and myself 12 yrs, 9 yrs and 6 yrs old..I dont know why she left but over the next 7 or 8 years she would return and sometimes leave a week later and sometimes we kids would believe we were a family again.....and then she would leave😒... my father,R.I.P, loved her and would run headlong into it time and time again early on he started taking us to church, Baptist .sunday school , morning service and occasionally evening services, they were nice people, the smiled at me, spoke gently...not alot of that happened at home...so, comparatively I had a lighter heart at church..I felt something...kinda..., I thought we would pray at night... children would pray to have a mother again, and were told If you want it and you love God pray to him for your mother's return...
(Sidebar...Dick move , leading children down roads of false ....looking at you pop's, everyone at church....) as an "adult" I have come to some realisations:
1. Baptizing a child is wrong, Your not allowed to drive until 16, vote and join military 18, buy alcohol and firearms (handguns) 21...why, so why thinks its ok for them to be responsible enough to promise the entirety of the lifes to something.
2. Being misled by adults appering to "represent" god, does not mean that there isn't a god or this was his intention.
3. The more I ask questions or have conversations with people about god...the more unclear it becomes, they say things like:
I felt the lord come into my heart....., I have not
You must have faith....., O.K. so you just decided that as far as you are concerned God is real...just like that? In other words , deciding bigfoot is real... because I can say that I believe, go to church and try to be the best person I can be..but internally still hesitate at the word of god or god..then those things would all be for appearances to man because god would know whats in my heart....right? Because if people do these things because 100% they felt and still feel something from god inside them....I don't...if I didn't want to believe it why bother to look...maybe some people were meant for hell , because if God is real..thats where I belong.
Hello friend. Thank you for your heartfelt post. We are all on a journey through a difficult world, being hurt and hurting others. As I read your words, I can't help but sense that God is calling you with His love. Jesus said, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Keep seeking Him. Although we, as His people, are weak and wrestle to throw off our sin, He works through redeemed humans to work good. Although imperfect, you are much more likely to hear God's voice and be touched by His life-changing love in a caring, Bible-believing, local church. I'm so glad I found a friend (very imperfect, but caring) who invited me to a church where my life was radically altered by God. The theoretical possibility that God existed, or that Jesus is who the Bible says He is, melted away in one instant when the Lord opened my heart. May He do the same in your life and give you great joy.
I just watched this video by SCC and loved the theme . . . keep going and seeking the Father's love: th-cam.com/video/GKMjEvF2Fkw/w-d-xo.html

2 Corinthians 10:5 King James Version (KJV)

i think God just want that we represent him on earth and show his properties on earth as son of him
I've worked in marketing for my whole career and yet it was never what I felt called to do. I'm stuck and very unfulfilled, feeling every day is a waste of my energy and time. I yearn to use my passion and skills in drawing to create comforting, warm, inviting artwork and stories that bring joy to people and emphasize love, acceptance, and living holistically in the present. I just don't know how to make the leap, I work around the clock and earn little money as it is. God please help me know if this is the right path, and if it is, how I can have the strength to walk it, and to trust that you will be there to help me sustain my basic needs while making the transition.
A family Member is asking, “if there is a God and prayers to him, why do I have stage 4 cancer and why did he make me go through my pains in life? I rather give thanks to the doctors and scientists that have been helping me”
He didn’t want to hear about praying for him anymore.
He is in a same sex relationship and has been for years and angry that God doesn’t heal him.
This message seems great to send him.
I like the part about Holiness and that desires produce Holiness.
Is there any other podcast that talk about being gay and the truth of God? In the Bible and a message from pastor John that helps bring the Bible out like a pop up book? That will get him the truth without feeling like it’s a religion, but get him to believe it’s a true relationship with Jesus Christ?
Thank you
Your Life today and everyday continually Everlastingly, the Life in Christ.Be the Love of GOD in Christ to Everyone Everyday because It is Eternal, for Everyone in Heaven were Good to each other Everlastingly.
There are countless sermons and how-to guides available on this topic, but to know the Will of God for our lives can be summed up in two words: TO LIVE. [ St.John 3:16; 10:10; I Corinthians 15:28]

Thanks alot for this wonderfull broadcast. Ive experience the lords calling, and this is really helpfull, to get my mind back on track to pick up the stuff ive been lead to .)
Pls pray for me and my girlfriend. We really don't know his plan for us. People have been telling us that God has told them not to continue this. We are still trusting on him because prayers can make anything work and faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. I just need people to pray for me and my girlfriend that things go well in future and help me to reveal his plan personally.
Any update

I’ve been following God for 3 years but I still don’t know my purpose or calling on this earth and I’m waiting for my breakthrough since I’m graduating college in few weeks.
Natasha
Let me please be straight forward with you since this is only a quick response to your comment or I say question.
First we follow christ we don't follow God. You said you are following God? Do you mean you were born again or just decided one day you were going to believe in God and follow him. We must learn to follow and obey Jesus. Jesus said we must obey him as he obeyed the father. Jesus is our example, and we must walk as he walked. Until you truly understand we must live walk obey and die to ourselves like Jesus did. We must come to the cross and die to ourselves and the world just as Jesus did. You will always live lost in this world. Every day we must take up the cross and die to ourselves and follow Jesus or we will never find the life christ offers us. If you just go to church and live the life you want to best suit your desires in this life, the road you will travel will never conduct to eternal life.
Start reading the Sermon on the mount, which is Matthew chapters 5,6,7 read it every day until you know it better than you know anything else in your life. Then, you will have the start of learning to obey Jesus and truly understand the will of God.
Jesus explains the narrow way in this passage of scripture and it is the only path that Jesus said leads to life. Jesus said if you don't build your foundation of your life on these sayings that when you stand before him, your life built on anything else but these teachings will not stand up to his judgment.
Someone said go evangelise. That's the easiest and surest way to find your gifts!
Thanks pastor for this wonderful teaching l pray that l have the grace to desire him to come into his presence all the times amen 🙏🏽 🔥❤️🙌
Natural forests are gods creation💛
You won’t know the plan. You will only know the promise. If you knew the plan you wouldn’t need faith. But if u know the promise it takes faith to follow it.
But what is the “it”?
We all have sinned and fell short of the glory to God. The problem is, that God is holy and doesn’t live with sin. So we all deserve to go to hell, but Jesus paid the price so you don’t have to. All you have to do is confess Jesus as your savior and repent (turn from all sin) and you’ll can have eternal life.
I have little to no idea what it is I'm supposed to do. I'm in-between jobs, last one I quit because it took its toll on my mental health.
I stayed 20 yrs w my husband until death do us part but ,,,,I wasn't really happy a I wasn't married in no church. I'm looking for a worthy Christian hubsnd a want to be joined by God to a man God chosses for me to make me Happy.
Sandra Miller you should ask yourself how you can better support your new husband in the things of God and be the helpmate that God has called you to be and in doing so, God will reveal His rewarding will for your life and when all these things come together it is very common for a couple to become closer and closer not only to God but also closer to each other. A huge blessing and benefit all the way around! 👍
If anyone chooses to do Gods will he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. John 7:16-17
Pray that our flight will not take place in winter or on the sabbath. Matthew 24:20
Very helpful thank you
Easy!, Search Gods kingdom and His Righteousness until blind eyes open...be patient while searching...wait for God to show You.
I’m over it
How could I know what is my personal spiritual gift?
Praise the Lord, I did a spiritual inventory on paper at 2 churches, but not a test. 1 of mine is a prayer warrior. Also we all have 500 skills, but some are doormat. Yes, it is doing are spiritual gifts. God bless us always.😇🙏☮️🎶✝️🇺🇲😁
i'd say maybe what others say to you about your character could be a clue.
Wow.
I am a born again Christian and have been baptised in the Holy Spirit but I can't hear Gods voice I have been told if I can't hear His voice then how can I obey Him. I long to hear God speaking to me so very much. Please tell me what I should do. Thankyou. Valerie
Valerie Briggs You are hearing Gods voice on reading and mediating on scriptures. Trust what he says and they will soon come alive to you and full of purpose
His word is his voice. See what the scriptures say and do them. What Jesus said. That is all you need. The voice of God is not audible - it may be - but it comes when you make a point to and have a desire to follow his will revealed iinthr scriptures, trusting him and not yourself or your voice. Trusting him. Sometimes we just got to do it!
If you want to hear God speak to you, read your Bible. If you want to hear Him speak to you audibly, read it out loud.
How to you resist temptation and overcome strongholds of sinful habits when they're so deeply ingrained?
Fast, crucify the flesh
1) Fear the Lord our God in Heaven. Fear His wrath and the fate of those who are not written in the Book of Life. Fear what happens to those who are abandoned by God and are separated from His grace. (Psalm 111:10, Job 28:26, Proverbs 9:10, etc)
2) Pray daily every morning, noon & night. Pray and ask for resilience against temptations and sin. Pray that the Lord shows you ways to avoid and stay away from those. (Acts 2: 42, Colossians 4:2, 1 Timothy 4:5)
3) Read the Scriptures daily and meditate on it all day. (2 Timothy 3:1617)
4) Be in a church that worships the Lord and join their fellowship. The Church helps every Christian to be complete (1 Corinthians 12:12-31)
5) Pick your best friends among good Christians. (Proverbs 27:17)
6) Stay away from sinful and ill-behaving people. Most of them aren’t Christians. (Proverbs 14: 7-31)
7) Talk to your Pastor, Priest, Minister, or Elders for more advice. It is better that you consistently see them like have coffee with them every now and then, and not only when you’re in trouble or have a problem.
8) Share you faith and always be prepared to defend your faith.
9) Yes. Fasting helps; when you can do it. Some people who are sickly cannot do this. God knows who can. So, He understands if you cannot.
10) Try all these and be righteous through our Lord Jesus. Always have confidence that God will be with you always and in everything you do.
Thank you.. ☺
Look in his desk or check for a wall safe... most wills are kept there.
Its actually found in his very prayer to the father. Thy will b done thy kindom come on earth as it is in heaven. fear him for that is the beginning of wisdom and if we truly love him as he told peter we are called to b a kingdom of priests and kings to spread the eternal word of salvation to a crying nation, the seven churches⛪of the world. We are called to glorify him, the glory of the holy spirit of god in christ's resurrection. lets memorize him readily this memorial day. his word his message in the spirit to the seven fold lampstand and the seven stars in his right hand. so having the eternal word of god the word of salvation the spirit of christ the spirit of god the holy spirit is like being in heaven the kingdom of heaven the kingdom of god heaven on earth 🌎.
The Lord is no shepherd. I am in want. he makes me to lie down in thorns. he pushes me into cold water. he destroys my soul. he has led me into temptation. he has delivered me unto evil. I wish I was dead. Death will be a relief. god beats me with rod, and with staff. he gives me exactly what I need, just so he can take it away. he anoints my head with a foul smelling oil. My heart is full of pain. Filled to over flowing. Evidently, pain and heart ache will follow me all the days of my miserable life, and I will dwell in Ur contempt, for ever.
Sin is the problem. keep praying, i’ll pray too for whatever it is your going through.
Galatians 6:7-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
I have made so many choices that have caused me to waste my life.
Always best to.make.out.a.will
Perhaps we will never find God's will in our life? I seem so worthless and untalented in everything that permeates my Christian life.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. Dale seek him and he will show you your purpose for his will. We all have gifts there are many.
Don't seek His face, and you will find His will for your life.
What if you don't find out what your calling is.
True that's exactly what I thought
Unfortunately in the rest of the world we don't have much choice
1 Thessalonians 4:3 ESV
[3] For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;
HI MY NAME IS BRAD BERRY I BELIEVE THE LORD IS CALLING ME TO EVANGELISTIC MINISTRY PASTOR JOHN HOW DO I RECONIZE THAT GOD IS TRULY CALLING ME TO EVANGELISTIC MINISTRY NOT MY WILL BUT GODS WILL BE DONE
I keep asking what God wants me to do
Even Moses had trouble speaking to a crowd and God was pretty pissed off about it. He use Moses anyway but through Aaron’s voice to deliver God’s words. So He will accomplish his will through you. Suck it up. You r in it now. Put on a brave face bc your support is God, himself, not another Aaron.

Step one : walk with God

Stop relying on your own works to be saved it is a deadly sin believe in the works of Christ❤

Honestly, the truth is NOBODY knows GOD's will period. Cause GOD is infinite and everlasting! We don't even know each others plan when we meet up with friends or family how much more knowing GOD's will? Cause GOD's will is his plan each day so to speak. The closest we can get to the will of GOD is read HIS word and have a true relationship with HIM & then completely ALLOW GOD to control our life each day. Meaning, being "mindful" with your walk in life cause you are now a child of GOD. That's what having a relationship with GOD is. When you are "mindful" with your walk in life cause you now know that you have a true relationship with GOD then you are walking in HIS will. That's really the closest we can get to HIS will. When it becomes HIS righteousness? When it becomes HIS good works? You are closer to GODs will. At the end of the day? HE is the authority. Only HIM knows. But when you walk with GOD and allow HIM completely in your life then GOD's influence will change you from GLORY TO GLORY! It's really not rocket science but this dying and scheming world complicates it. So many traps and deceiving from satan to influence us and that is why we need the influence in GOD. We have to make a choice! GOD loves you and I so much that HE will not force or impose HIMSELF into our lives. GOD's love is NOT wealth, health and prosperity like these false teachers are preaching but simply sending HIS LOVE. (His only begotten son JESUS CHRIST) to influence us from this corrupt world cause it is all about influences! We need to be influence from the things above! Lastly, GOD LOVE is sending HIS only son as a way out of this demonic world. JESUS CHRIST should be our influence each day and the way out this sinful world.
