Good word! It reminds me of how at the end of John 6 after Jesus teaches about the body and blood, it seems clear that at that moment, NOBODY...including Jesus's disciples understood what he was talking about. And then we read the shocking news that many of his disciples abandoned him because of this...and Jesus does NOTHING to try and stop them! Instead, his reaction is to turn to the twelve and ask them if they want to leave him as well. AMAZING!! ...but equally amazing and wonderful is Peter's response... “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” It seems clear that Peter did not (yet) understand what Jesus was saying either...however, unlike those who abandoned Jesus due to their relying on their own understanding (or lack thereof), Peter demonstrated Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." Peter was more or less telling Jesus, "I do not understand this teaching either...but I trust in YOU, Jesus...not in my own understanding!" And of course we know that by the Holy Spirit, Peter later on DID come to understand! FOOTNOTE: This all goes back to the garden. By eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve were declaring to the Lord that they were choosing to trust their own understanding rather than trusting in the Lord...they in essence would (try) to usurp the authority of God...who is by His very nature, the ONLY one who can define good and evil...and they would try to take this authority from Him, and thus, as the serpent had said to them define good and evil for themselves! (...you will be like God, knowing good and evil. --Genesis 3:5). Things that make you go "Hmmm..." I find it interesting that Genesis 3:5 and Proverbs 3:5 (thus both passages are a chapter 3, verse 5) are polar opposites of the same principle. 🤔

Very good

'For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be opened, 👀 and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:5 ' Trust in יהוה with all your heart♥, And lean not on your own understanding' Proverbs 3:5 When the Scriptures were being given chapters and verses this may not have been in their mind but it sure points to a great truth. 👍

Yes yes good word here.

When I Do as Jesus Said.. in Matthew 5 6 7.."To Obey Jesus Sayings and Seek Him and His Righteousness." it is amazing how hated I am by Christians! But..I have Been So Blessed since I stopped listening to men and all their opinions. Jesus is My Savior! I will never listen to a man again. If there is anyone here who needs this..who is confused..and condemned by the typical Christian. Seek Jesus! He Will Save you from them!

Oh a very amazing Pastor John. Thankyou for explaining those words. God uses you mightily! Jesus bless you and all your ministry!

[@OldThingsPassAway]

I view these blessings much like those in Africa who hear the Gospel and rejoice in it even when things are difficult for them. Conversely to this, I view the Woes as those who are "comfortable" with their riches and know the Gospel already but do not see their need for Christ.

[@ReddyCWR]

Thank you!

Shallow if not by the Son of Man .

[@thetruthwithproof8802]

EXCELLENT VIDEO

[@joelnenadovich8141]

Amen brother

[@kathleenwharton2139]

+Marty Blackman..I am on Here...Because God brings these videos to me and prompts me to say the Truth! I listened to controlling self-righteous men for a very long time and suffered much..because of Pharisee Paul and his condescending rotten attitude toward women. Jesus Saved me and Freed me from You All. The Truth is..Everyone Shoud Be Seeking Jesus..And Not Paul and Piper! This self-righteous Arrogant Piper man is disgusting.. And you feed his ego and line his pocket book.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

+From Darkness to Light..you are Right! Eve listened to the lies of Satan..And I listened to the lies of men..Same thing. I have repented thoroughly. I listen ONLY to Jesus Now. I do not listen to the lies of men.
