It Will Cost You Everything - Steve Lawson

This sermon by Steve Lawson concerns what genuine and sacrificial discipleship to Jesus Christ requires.

[@hots4jc]

I have lost both of my parents and 6 siblings because of my commitment to Christ, and Christ is just getting started. He is it for me. I have to spend eternity with Him. I am His. He is my “Pearl of great price”.

[@rodneydenlinger8890]

I can relate with you! I have lost both my parents, 4 sisters, wife (my wife is slowly turning my kids against me, I have 5 the two oldest barely talk with me), friends. But I won't back down from God's word, His true and perfect word!

[@AWretchedMan]

I've never cried so much in my life, as I have in the last 6 months since I was changed. I've cried everyday this week... Only because I realise I'm a wretched sinner and deserve to be on the cross crucified instead of my Lord Jesus Christ! I have stopped drugs and alcohol over 2 weeks ago. I have backslid into drugs and alcohol in recent weeks/months, but now I can honestly say this with God as my witness! It's only through the Love, Grace and Mercy of our Perfect beautiful Lord Jesus Christ have I done this. It would be impossible on my own. I was going to take my own life. I was starting to get into witchcraft and lucerferianism. Thank God he showed me the truth and error of my ways and I've since turned away completely from that demonic rubbish and threw it all out in the garbage where demonic doctrine belongs! Praise GOD! All Glory, Honor & Exaltation to him alone! 🙏 I was so down and depressed about everything in my life. Even though I have a good life. I have food in my belly, clothes on my back, a roof over my head and a job and a car. We are all so ungrateful for what we have! When there are people in the world that are starving and can't even get fresh water to drink! God creates weakness and breaks you down to your lowest point in life so he can bring you back up! The sooner you realise you can do nothing without God the sooner you will realise what he has done for us and everything is impossible without him. When you read the Bible, it reads you. When you pick your Bible up, it picks you up. When you Dust of your Bible, it dusts you off. I love the Psalms! It is how we should be worshipping and praising our God! We can all learn a lesson from King David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen 🙏 ✝️🙌🛐 Light your soul on 🔥 with passion for him, he'll be the wood! I'm going to Die to Self & Be a living sacrifice for Christ our Lord God, King, Saviour, Redeemer, Rescuer. I hate the World and dont want any part of it. Im going to live, to do Gods will not mine. Listen to sermons by: Derek Prince Steve Lawson Voddie Baucham Paul Washer John Macarthur Isaiah Saldivar & John Ramirez have helped me greatly also! Also TJ Malcangi They have helped me in my spiritual walk they don't pull any punches and preach the truth! Come to Jesus, He loves YOU! I love you all too, can't wait to meet you all on that Glorious day when we get to see the Lord and hear those words, "Well done my good and faithful servant". Godbless you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. ❤

[@salgar1234]

I give thanks to our Lord God in heaven for leading you back to him. This was a year ago, how are you now? I would urge you to also be very discerning of what teachers you listen to. Discernment takes great wisdom and humility. I would warn you to stay well away from Isaiah Saldivar & John Ramirez and all the 'demon slayers', who are not sound bible teachers. Also Dereck Prince has some very unbiblical teaching. Have you found a sound bible church to attend and grow in?

[@lukeadventure33]

Don't hear messages like this being preached in churches anymore today it's all about community and food and living together in harmony and a whole bunch of candy floss that only tickle the years but never addresses the issues of the Soul anyone out there agree with this?

[@carljones8334]

Luke, meaning light. Churches do not teach this because they are afraid of losing people - Read John 6:66, it's a pity they don't go on to read John 6:68. They could lose 90% of the congregation. When we measure success by numbers, we will be weak and ineffectual, this is the message of Gideon. If we want God to receive the glory then we have to depend entirely on Him.

[@eddy0822]

I’m a veteran with so much trauma. I’ve denied God majority of life. Come to realize I’m alive because of him. I should have have died multiple times but god blessed me and has a plan for me. I bend the knee. God bless you all

[@NoName-ub5to]

We thank you for a preacher who tells it like it is!

[@sarahjones7393]

Absolutely wonderful sermon. Dr. Lawson's sermons are packed with God's truth. I wish people would stop removing his sermons. Thank you for keeping this one up!

[@linda2468lou]

You brought me to weeping in the realization, heartfelt pure knowledge, about what God, our Creator did for us sinners! I do give my life completely to Discipleship to Jesus Christ forever, on His terms!

[@apostlejohn8325]

Linda Keaton I pray that this is what you do only a few really get it you are blessed beyond measure

[@KeepitMETAL]

AMEN!! I am so happy for you! I hope you are still on his narrow path.. so hard in this world today. There is relief in Jesus. There is truth in Him. There is true happiness with abandon of everything that you held inside, with daily repentance, even 10 times a day, I feel so much cleaner and better inside. I cant even walk to another room in my own house or in this world without making sure I have him close and inside at all times!! Happy to see people turn to Him!! Godbless

[@rxbeauty68]

WOOOOWW!!! I cried soooo much watching this! Born again August 28, 2021 and I have been TRANSFORMED!!! It was no coincidence that I watched this at this moment, I needed this message! GLORY TO GOD!! 🙌🙏

[@sandraschenck9942]

Best sermon I have ever heard in my life! I can listen to him 24/7. What a preacher!

[@RedCrow.]

This is where you beg God in prayer for a greater zeal to put off all that is not to His glory in the expenditure of time here on earth and to then put on all that is.

[@nathanielriesterer9103]

Great comment!

[@peccles12]

We need preaching like this in all church’s.

[@donnashirk295]

To be carnally minded is death to be spiritually minded is life

[@glennaweathers6496]

What a powerful, thought provoking sermon!! Help us God to sell out completely to you!

[@yvettesterling1837]

[@theraptureinrevelation4659]

Thank u Steve Lawson for preaching on this passage uncompromisingly!❤

[@eileendunkley4373]

Guilty ! Need to deny myself more. It’s all about JESUS. ITS not about me. I of myself,am nothing. YOU are everything. Without HIM I am worthless. Please help me My LORD .Draw me close to you, never let me go.

[@dubyredburndarling6334]

This sermon was one of the best I've ever heard. All glory to God 🙌❤️

[@adilzahoor3198]

Very nice massage for me. God bless you more and more almighty name of Jesus Christ. From Pakistan

[@jjbenz9633]

it will cost everything because it cost HIM everything......Christ gave it all......praying entire nights, being so tired he fell asleep in the middle of a storm, fasting 40 days n nights, not having a place to lay his head, being tempted in every single manner, and the list goes forever.......we got no excuse to not do the same as he did

[@jeffersonbarnes3663]

He died for us so we live for Him by the Holy Spirit's power.

[@anab3960]

Never have I heard the TRUE awesomeness of TRUTH until hearing the TRUE GOSPEL of our LORD CHRIST JESUS!! Only he can know my shame that it took me until I was 35 to hear his TRUE salvation! Praise be to God

[@seekgodfirstallways8798]

This sermon will bring us back inline with Jesus, at a time when we feel all is well... Let us not be complacent brothers and sisters! May God keep us focused on the narrow road!

[@stanblockton1597]

Great word, many are called but few are chosen. Many will say Lord, Lord & He will say I never knew u.This message tells us that this walk will cost us everything that goes against the will of God no exceptions. Lord help us though ur Holy Spirit in leading us in strength & compassion in ur perfect will. Help us to die to our wills, the desires of this imperfect world so that we may gain Christ Yeshua Amen.

[@minisight2000]

Wow amen

[@维睿安]

You understand salvation means you were helpless and God gets glory for doing everything to save you right?

[@ridgequinn9435]

Glory to God! Thank you Lord for this man's feet, and your wondrous power!

Powerful sermon from God himself. Too many so called Christians act like this journey too easy. Flesh must die Father help me to stay called and be sold out every day for Jesus alone. My life is completely yours 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤

Pastor Lawson is a gem!

[@MaktMakt]

Wao this has rattled my cage

[@hangryturtle9006]

This sermon explained a lot to me about things Jesus said that I didn’t truly understand like I need to. Thank you

[@samle8]

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.Matthew 13:44 this sermon change my life , but without Gods Grace i cant do it

[@AVKingJamesBible]

No. It cost Jesus everything. He did all the work. He gets all the glory. I simply fall to my knees in repentance and thanksgiving for what Jesus did on my behalf.

[@lebogangmoutlane]

“One cannot give Him only a “small compartment in our spiritual life,” but must give Him everything or nothing. The religion of Christ, is not a tidbit after one’s bread; on the contrary, it is the bread or it is nothing. People should at least understand and concede this if they call themselves Christian” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

[@brandedwellness]

Praise the Lord!! So true!! Lord help us to give our very life unto you. Help us daily to surrender to you. Love it!

[@elmerfudd5738]

Praise the Lord for the truth of His Word and thank the Lord for servants who will be faithful and obedient to the Lord Jesus to preach His Gospel with boldness and in power.

So true, to God be the glory! Thank you Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior~ we need Holy Spirit to become a disciple ♥️

[@ezequielarce8079]

2021 and still going I thank God for these type of preachers that thru them we know the God of the Bible and helps us grow and view the word of God differently.

[@lorenagarcia1828]

Does this mean that 90 percent of Christians are lost. Because I have only met a few Christians like the ones he is describing.

[@anthonykamau8581]

Praise the Lord for such a message.

[@michelchan293]

Powerful , a good and faithful servant.

Right on, brother. 👏👏👏 Amen. Thank you, Father God, for your word, and for faithful witness.

[@scottadkins7322]

Oh yeah....truth...like an ice cold drink on a hot July day...just utterly refreshing...and this right here..this is some truth....

[@chrisfoster7584]

No such thing as a “carnal Christian” Either Jesus is more important to you than anyone or anything or you are not on the narrow road that leads to life. Only the Holy Spirit can produce this kind of loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of heaven. John 3:3 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you “you must be born again”. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the spirit. John 3:6-8.

[@eileendunkley4373]

Practical and Biblical. Jesus tells as it is. He suffered for us. Why are we so comfortable. There is work to do. Follow Me ! That’s a command. There will be severe consequences if we do not obey. He will see us through, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

[@NatapixAS]

Wow, i really like this sermon! added to my favorites! so many cool realizations i had never noticed before.

[@mickayla7038]

praise God the truth of Gods word that is so compromise today

To God be the glory. May His truth abound in you more

[@Jannus968]

Love Dr.Steven Lawson, John MacArthur, Paul Washer, justin Peters, Charles Spurgeon and etc. They are BIBLICAL PREACHER.

[@MariaSantana-ul5wd]

Guilty as charged with hope in Christ alone. Repentance is His gift of grace to us through His Holy Spirit. Romans 2:4 It is God's kindness that is leading us to repent.

[@cvetkojovcevski645]

thank you steve for the good explanation

[@skinbones3293]

Thank you Charity 🌈✝️ Peace be with you

[@s.o.c3693]

learn people learning and actually listen, for its true what it is said in this sermon. for giving up everything to christ and then seeing it first hand being these words come to past are anything but easy. The struggle and cost is a huge one and like he said the devil come after you for making such a commitment. the devil love regular sunday church people for to him they are harmless, worthless without power or conviction. but hates and will attack and declare a full on war to those who truly commit to christ. those few out there are the one he fears and knows he has no power over them and will. those who truly walk in christ the ones that will have to endure the hardest test in their lives. it will bring you to ur knees and drag you through the mud. the question is will you still after all this, mustard up what ever strength you have left in you no matter the cost to yourself as your making the attempt to rise up and stand and kneel, and say to christ for i made a commitment and a promise to you and i say to you father i am still with you i bow to you and only you i

[@Mrs.CatherinePagan]

I should never ever complain about the cross that God has given me to take.

[@idriveastationwagon1534]

This the biggest question I ask myself, am I really submitted to Christ? Am I really committed to Christ? Did I give Christ my everything when I accepted His terms of salvation? Better yet, did I even accept His terms of salvation? Did I really count the cost? Did I transfer all that I am and all that I got to Him? Did I do these things to meet His demands of peace?

[@dawnscheerhoorn9583]

Wow. Thank you.

[@seth9537]

I'm sure many may ask: Is this doable, really? Thanks be to God for the electing, helping and securing work of the Holy Spirit!

[@Slippin22]

You are right.Only with His help.Only God's grace make us Love him more than anything in this world and imitate Jesus.

[@JohnSmith-im5di]

Yes it is 'doable',.... but it is difficult. But this is exactly the point Jesus was making, and Steve is making now.. It was always going to ' cost us everything'.

In Christ and one with Christ.

[@SSNBN777]

Most believers will never be disciples; they'll live comfortable lives, accumulate many material things, have a cushy job, and stand at podiums receiving accolades from the crowds. That doesn't mean you don't have salvation, cause it's by faith in the grace of God, Jesus Christ.

[@melpogi9]

Awesome !

[@Jadon-je3qq]

Amen!!!!

[@Christreality]

Christ! -to live; to die.

[@rainaproske709]

"Hate" A covenant word meaning, in this case, that the hearers who are His followers must have their strongest covenant (and commitment) with GOD -- stronger than their covenants with any of their own family members and loves.

🕊❤️❣️Glory

[@gnieu1278]

No competing affections

[@bradymayo1306]

It cost Jesus everything! It cost us nothing. A free gift is free. Unless of course he is only talking about discipleship. Discipleship cost us everything!

[@tonyshumway7652]

Very true discipleship will cost us everything.

[@harlenevan]

I don't understand. I'm confused. How is salvation is a FREE gift if it will cost everything? Then how is that a FREE gift? Something that is FREE doesn't have conditions or a cost. The issue here in the selected verses is "DISCIPLESHIP." Jesus is not saying that nobody will make it to heaven unless they give everything! If that is the requirement, then only a handful would make it to heaven. Jesus is specifically talking about those who truly want to be His Disciples and seated next to Him and rewarded as such.

[@Bhunt223]

Listen again and again dear friend, then read what Jesus has stated. Salvation is a free gift but there are conditions. Oh yes there are. Ask God to reveal to you the truths here. Praise God for this powerful and true message.

[@KMGAthletics]

Amen!

[@wongsikiongwongsikiong4296]

No other way. Strive to enter by the narrow gate and go along the hard way till the end.

[@mariselarodriguez2224]

💗 Amen.

[@marylamb6063]

A free gift that will cost me? Isn't that a contradiction?

[@justamanthatlikestogofishi6228]

Ok so someone tell me what is actually required to go to heaven becuase I believe the gospel and I try my best to keep the 10 commandments yes I make mistakes but I don’t give up I pray and ask for help and read my Bible I love god even tho I don’t understand everything all the time and I know you can’t sugarcoat the gospel but people are making it sound like we literally need to sell everything we own except our Bible move into the forest and do nothing but meditate all day on gods word

[@Remshaw214]

Amen

[@dramaticnetworkinc6595]

I am a believer a true uncompromising believer But I need to ask where does it say in the bible I need to hate my mother father or wife and or husband> Please show where it says that I know it says in Psalm 27:10 though my father and mother forsake me the Lord will never forsake us nor leave us. I m concerned about this and how it will impact others. Some people might take it literally and actually hate. Please clarify. Honor thy mother and thy father is one of the 10 commandments. Please understand that I am on the same page about walking in true truth Hot and not Luke warm. You can visit our page Recovery Revival Mission Thank you..God Bless You

[@luigiscanga967]

It’s a parable to say you must love Christ more than you and family

[@jeffersonbarnes3663]

Luke 14:26 King James Version If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

[@carljones8334]

If you are what you say, I find it difficult to understand that you have not read it yourself in Scripture. You do read the Bible?

[@gnieu1278]

Isaiah 43....read it..... I have redeemed you, you are mine

[@Xplode101]

he sounds like paul washer!

[@T2WAdviser]

Jaco C Strydom my thoughts exactly

[@rachray83]

Jaco C Strydom They use the same Bible 😜

[@minisight2000]

That's because that's what truth sounds like

[@cazterk]
