The Lord told me to be still when it did not make sense… I am out of my job under bizarre circumstances and God says do not retaliate … I am the Lord. 3-1-2024🙌🏾

🙌 He is.

[@johnharrison8857]

The New Testament equivalent verse to Isaiah 64 v 4 is my favourite verse of scripture….1 Corinthians 2 v 9….”Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered the mind of man, the things that God has prepared ……for those that love Him.” For people like me in their 80’s eternity is fast approaching, so what a comforting verse it has become….thank God for preachers like John Piper …..

I am blessed by John's obedience to God.

Priceless… you can’t expect God to fight for you when He told you to be still.😮

[@CoCoFantastique]

I always wonder how people not shout Hallelujah when J. Piper preaches ? How do they contain the explosiveness and excitement of what he is saying?????? So Amazing.

[@emilymariano2354]

I don't, I'm introvert, but it does not mean I was not amazed by the message.

[@CoCoFantastique]

yes! it is truly amazing! I can't believe I watched this video two years ago and this was posted 10 years ago and still blessing folks.

Since getting laid off 4 years ago, I now don't know what to do with my business, need to find a part time job to pay the bills, and we need to sell our house to downsize/help with expenses. It's all so much and so heavy, and has been going on for so long. All of this has brought me so close to Him, and deep down I have peace about our situation, knowing I'm doing what He wants me to be doing, and that He's got this. I appreciate John's sermons so much, I can't thank "Desiring God" enough.

[@KevinD-pc5sh]

I understand very well - may God Bless you w Peace and joy

[@trocycling1204]

Update - one of my clients for my business offered me a job in a totally new field for me - architecture. I didn't even have to interview or put together a resume. I wasn't even looking for a job, was just struggling with my business. It just came to me, like God was saying, ok, enough of that, here's my plan for you.

John Piper is the most amazing preacher/teacher of all time! He gets deep into the each passage and explains it in a practical manner that we can understand! Pastor Piper is so much more knowledgeable than the average pastor, he's really an extraordinary man and preacher and I'm so thankful for all his video's. THANK YOU Pastor Piper!! Thank you God for giving John Piper the knowledge to teach us all so very much.

"Wars are not won by great feats of heroism, but by the small, timid steps of inner bravery." Message from the Holy Spirit when I was in rehab years ago. Now free of drug use for 4.5 months without counselors, without ministerial support, without support from friends or family, and without NA meetings. It's only from committing my life to the study of Christian theologians. All glory to God.

[@macmcclanahan6626]

Praise God! To God be the glory. Amen! & Amen! Because of God’s mercy, by His hand of grace, I share in that blessing in my faith coming upon 6 yrs. He pulled me from that fire, and took away those desires that He allows others to battle and walk through before they receive that blessing. Why? I don’t know? Today, I realize it’s because He’s is special, not me. Amen. God was using John Piper in my before I was brought to faith through the gospel. Since coming to faith, God continues to use Piper to expound and elucidate God’s Word so that I may continue grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Father God, I need your help today. I need your strength. I seek your counsel in the moment. Thank you God~ For Pastor John Piper. You spoke through him to me. In Jesus name, Amen…❤

[@davidalexis5442]

God is doing a great work in Northern California. Don't lose help. Don't be afraid. I gave my last 20 years to the enemy and went back and forth living like a demon. God still loves us regardless. Don't let the enemy tell you that you can't ever go back. The devil is going to suffer for eternity. He's jealous of you because you don't have to go like he does. I have so many issues and so much guilt, but the Lord is still there. He's good, loving, and if you wait and keep sinning He will be hard to hear. I am a testimony to the love of God. I am in the craziest battle against the powers of this world. The closer we get to the end, the devil is going to do more to deceive us. Don't believe a thing he says. He hates you. Stop sinning.. Ask the Lord to help you love Jesus.

[@seriioffice2172]

I love to listen to this sermon. May God help me apply it on my daily life. In every single day I want to wait for God’s help and may God work for me. Pause and take time to pray. And let him do if He say stand still.

[@maggiemckenzie7023]

Thank God for this powerful message reminding me of who you are and to wait on you. Thank Dr Piper for this special message that resonates with me and my circumstances today.

[@johnworkman7944]

We love and appreciate the work of God in you, brother John Piper. I'm not a calvinist at all and I totally believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I do believe in predestination through God's foreknowledge which stands true without violating the freewill of the creation, but it's not the same view of Calvin. And, though we have some differences of perspective on scriptures, I totally agree with you on most of your teachings of the scriptures. You are a true blessing to the body of Christ. Love and respect to you my brother.

[@bmm___aos]

I pray that whenever I have trouble I will read the Bible, pray to the Lord and/or listen to John Piper. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Best explanation & encouraging message about waiting for God. This sermon has changed my life forever. Glory to God.

I needed this today. John Piper has been so helpful to me in this trial that I am in. God has been working on me and my heart and it’s been painful, hard, but good.

[@christawelty8940]

John Piper is a gifted teacher by God's grace. I'd like to clarify that he does believe that we are saved by grace alone through faith in Christ alone. Check out the sermon by Piper titled " The Obedience of Faith."

I thank God for your messages. We strive so much in life , grow old and get ready to die. Only God can show us how to live the abundant life. he won't force us... we must strive only to destroy the self life. that will never satisfy our true soul desires.

[@sumadaniel]

3 WAYS OF WAITING 1.. First PAUSE AND PRAY AT CRUCIAL TIMES 2. IF HE SAYS " BE STILL" .....TRUST HIM..HE WORKS 'FOR" US. 3. WHEN GOD SAYS " MOVE".....TRUST HIM AND WAIT ON HIM... AS HE WORKS 'THROUGH' US.

[@RichardGKhan]

I just cannot get enough of your messages & sermons which make the Scriptures so much more precious and inspiring to my faith, life & much better understanding, revolutionary infact, that I/ we don't work/ serve God, but that HE is so self sufficient, looking and searching for those whom He can work & serve, so that we can just go on glorifying God now & in Eternity. Wow ! Thank you Ps John Piper.

"Works" for us is good; but "Acts'" for us is also good. Works seems more like sustained effort but if you are in a fix, a desperate situation, having God ACT for you has an immediacy that you are crying out for... I need God to work and most especially ACT for me in my distressing situation... AMEN

Sunday, 30 Oct 2022 04:44 am Thank you Lord for the price you paid for me, on the skully hill of Celvery. Your body on a tree, the price you paid for me. At first I thought how can this be that there's a God that cared for me and paid my price instead of me. This sinless lamb a sacrifice to set me free from death, sin and enquity. That day was tragedy and the most beautiful moment in history. The blessed hope. In the tomb you were placed, and there you lay until that day the stone was rolled away. No greater time was ever seen as the day you set the captives free, you rose again so all could see redemtions power and victory. Oh king of kings and Lord of Lords, who could have seem a baby born a nazarine, the son of God born in a barn a bed of straw and nothing more. But as this story did unfold the forfulment of the prophets old the one who walked the streets of gold has come to us that we may have the victory.
