LWF Program - The Discipline of Darkness - RA2206

DISCIPLINE OF DARKNESS: Have you ever had it all figured out only to plunge into despair---How will you respond? Adrian Rogers looks at what we should do when the lights go out and when nothing seems to make sense.
--
How to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
ADMIT YOUR SIN: Sin separates us from God. The Bible says, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) The only way back to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ.
ABANDON SELF-EFFORT: If we could save ourselves, Jesus didn't have to die! Salvation is by God's grace alone. "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
ACKNOWLEDGE CHRIST'S PAYMENT: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for your sins. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Jesus died in your place and your sin debt has been paid for by, "The blood of Jesus Christ." (1John 1:7)
ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR: Put your faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for your salvation. Receive Him by faith. The Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31) Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." (John 14:6)
OFFER THIS PRAY TO GOD TODAY: Heavenly Father, I'm a sinner, I'm lost and I need to be saved. I know I can't save myself. I trust You to save me. Come into heart, forgive my sin and save me. I give you my life, I don't look for a sign or ask for a feeling; I trust only in You to save me. Begin now to make me the person You want me to be. Help me never to be ashamed of You. Thank You for saving me, Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.
If you sincerely make this your heartfelt prayer, God will save you! And you will be eternally grateful that you discovered Jesus Christ; God's greatest Love worth finding.

His preaching is one gem 💎 after another!!!

[@raymondjohnson6496]

I love the way he speaks the word of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and God Almighty, who created us through Jesus Christ

[@BuBu-uz9qi]

First they don't want anyone know about Ukraine, me and Vatican. If they win China , they will attack Russia after Russia is lost. Suddenly, they attack India by the tanks same as Russia attack Ukraine while Ukraine didn't repair on Feb 2022 and then they will attack Japan, Viet Nam, Korea, Taiwan , Middle East and Africa. Because We don't have the paper work about the win but the paperwork just say we corporate with them . If they are serious . They must tell Taiwan, Philippines, Korea and Japan stop fighting. The reason they don't say because it is a best chance to attack those countries due to low weapons. Anyway, I have a question to Taiwan. Do you have a contract with them that Taiwan will take over China or China is belong to them either half of the land??,,?,??? Because their tanks will enter into the India .Another word, their army is on our land. Lastly; after they United all nations. They will announce to the public about the Vatican But we already forgot the bad deed of Vatican by that time same as Zeleski will claim himself Jesus. The bad thing to us , we might become their slaves because we don't have any one help us. Do you remember the Black slaves in the History.?? @BuBu-uz9qi 1 second ago That is why that man in the morning call me animal . Later; he sent a sentence ' animal and more animals. That mean we will be their slave as an animal in the future

[@deborahwilliams1497]

Thank God for being able to hear Adrian's solid teaching again.

[@jovenserdenola1679]

Praise the LORD Jesus Christ our Savior for the message. Thanks GOD for everything in wants and in abundance.

[@jocelynegacuma7298]

It's a beautiful sermon.Its amazing God is hope in the darkness, it wouldn't be earth if there was no darkness, this is what I learnt. Somehow God makes a way to see in darkness, in darkness I lit a 🕯️ candle, it helps me to see a little until God will give me the bigger light again. Faith is my shield for God is my salvation. God bless always

[@deborahwilliams1497]

Amen Lord we trust you no matter what is happening, thankyou for your strength. You alone Jesus and your grace ,and mercy.

The Discipline of the Darkness. So very true. Thank you pastor for confirming the truth about the darkness I have experienced. Wonderful message. And so clear. Dr Rogers was a wonderful communicator of the Truth. Blessed again. And the messages go on and on. Carolyn D. Allen

[@joseywales8229]

Another great message by a great pastor Adrian Rogers love to listen to him preach

[@beyondalpha1072]

Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. Mat 7:22 “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ Mat 7:23 “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15.

[@SharonHolland-ev3uj]

Love this preacher!

[@dankorot7400]

It's always the hard things that makes us stronger. It's a form of faith training. Physical training is strenuous on the muscles to help them grow. The same goes for our trials for our faith. Lord, thank You for helping me understand this and forgive me for not

[@gracehillgranny5445]

Through the years we listened to Brother Adrian Rogers, as a family. Our family tradition was the Singing Christmas Tree. In my 9th year as a younger widow now. So often I've needed the words to express the difference in darkness and daylight. It's not that the joy of the Lord is missing, it's the contentment in knowing His grace that is present, His Mercy and His Sovereignty, through the journey. One may never witness expressed excitement upon my face, but I'd one could see the heart, the joy and gratitude is there.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

May God comfort and bless you and never let go of your hand. ❤😊

[@jennamarielovesjesus12]

I am sOooOo happy for whoever is letting these Beautiful Amazing sermons go on, I found out about Pastor Adrian Rogers a few months ago, I didn’t know he passed away in 2005 until the brother that told me about him finally told me. But it’s so amazing hearing his sermons and also the late Pastor David Wilkerson, who passed away in 2011, because when you listen to their sermons, it’s literally like they’re preaching today. I believe they both had the gift of prophecy, even though they both never said it, I believe Pastor David Wilkerson might’ve said something along those lines, but he never called himself a prophet, and they were both very humble men, and were great men of God, great pastors/preachers and above all great teachers. Can’t wait to shake both their hands before I get on my knees and worship the LORD🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼🌈💫😇⚔️👑♥️🙋🏻‍♀️💯

[@c.l.j.jardell5811]

Astounding message. Many thanks Pastor.

[@heavenmetal1]

Absolutely beautiful message. When we go through tough times it is certainly true, we learn to appreciate the goodness of the Lord even more.

[@timothyt.willett3824]

And that goodness is always faithful to lead us to repentance

When I was very, very sick and alone in hospital, I was concerned, but not afraid. I knew I would come through, or pass over. Either way, I would win. His will, not mine.

[@lulama6044]

Some things are seen in the dark, that you never would have seen in the light.

[@JohannaLeigh]

I'm no longer in love with this world and I want HOME. And AMEN on the *"WHY?"* *"LORD, WHAT IS GOING ON? What ARE you DOING?! Why did you let this happen?!"* We hear about God's LOVE and then we're tossed into an emotional blender; trying to make sense and wondering if we should just walk away? "If this is God's definition of LOVE, no thanks." I'm not expecting sunshine and thornless roses. Life has its dark days. I get that. But I'm having a hard time reconciling the "LOVE" of God with such deep, dark hardships. Sorry, but if I was married to someone who beat me around while he insisted he loved me, if I had the sense of a baked potato, I'd be out the door at the first opportunity. 1 Cor 13 is what is known as the LOVE chapter of the Bible. It talks about the things love is and isn't. Love is NOT abusive. If someone can help me out with the idea of God's LOVE and deep darkness, seemingly, on an ongoing basis, I'd love to hear it.

[@imbatman3620]

Remember anywhere Not in the presence of God is the Land of our affliction- see Psalm 42 :11"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God."🙏

[@raymondjohnson6496]

We should not ask why just trust in the lord he will bring us out of a storm if anything happens like he say my wife left me my bady dead just trust in the lord Jesus Christ

[@the_musical_zebra5354]

Fantastic message until the end. The sinner's prayer is nothing short of spiritual abortion. Planting the seed and when someone is ready to give their life to jesus and be born again, deceive them into a false salvation.

[@billmartinn9851]

Why? And how?

[@billmartinn9851]

Read John 1:12 And Romans 10:9, and tell me what you think these verses are saying?

The nation now needs these sermons more than ever. The children of darkness are driving us to destruction. But God.

Maybe the time is the end time?

I love Adrian Rogers, I listen to these every night at work. But as a father his Daddy stories ( the other one where the boy is stuck in the burning building) move me to such a wrath, I wonder. Like what father wouldn't kill himself to save his kids... The examples are wierd

[@harrymurray9702]

This world loves not the ways, nor the attributes, nor the things of God! It is no wonder why the Antichrist will easily captivate the world and subdue it, for it is already subdued. The Antichrist is already in control, we are merely waiting for this son of perdition to appear. Follow Jesus Christ, correct your life, do not pretend Sin does not matter. We must have self control. Proverbs 18:21 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Ecclesiastes 12:13 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 2 Corinthians 3:5 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Romans 2:12 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 1 John 4:1 4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Isaiah 55:6 6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 1 Timothy 5:6 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1 Corinthians 15:33 33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Numbers 32:23 23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out. John 3:19 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Revelation 3:20 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 7:21 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:13-14 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Psalm 101:2 2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. Revelation 22:11-12 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 20:11-12 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelation 2:4-5 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. James 1:22-25 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Proverbs 1:7 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Psalm 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. John 8:31-32 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 16:33 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:16 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 10:29 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Romans 2:13 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus Christ is Lord! Every eye shall see Every knee will bow and confess Jesus Christ is Lord! Amen Seek God Whilst he can be found Repent while you can, Time is SHORT John 8:34 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. John 14:15 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 4:24 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Romans 10:9 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 6:1-2 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Psalm 66:18 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 1 John 2:15-17 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Jesus Christ is Lord! Every eye shall see, Every knee will bow and confess Jesus Christ is Lord! Luke 17:28-30 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Repent while you have a chance. Accept Jesus as your Lord and savior...... I know most will mock, but this is why the Bible said Ecclesiastes 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. For the fool says there is no God. The byproduct is that same fool returning to his folly, as a Dog to its vomit.....

❤All of the pure in heart will eventually be led, as I was, to read the Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ. As we do, the Spirit of God will witness to our hearts that it is true.😊

[@dcarr-kr7hk]

@Fred-mp1vf... No. Those who are pure of heart will not be less astray by false "doctrine" but gathered in by a Holy God who gave His Son for the world. Let the word of God be true and every man a liar! I hope that you find Jesus (the real one -- not the manufactured one created by Joseph Smith 😞) very soon.
