Seven Reasons We Must Pursue Supreme Satisfaction in God

[@jennamarielovesjesus12]

I knew he had one son who was a complete atheist and went off the deep end and mocks Jesus and his father, I didn’t know he had another son who was lost as well so I will definitely be keeping Pastor Piper and his two sons in prayer

[@parishdarne1125]

7 Reasons you should pursue full and lasting pleasure in God: 1. We are commanded by God to be happy in God. 2. Conversion to Christ is the awakening of a superior pleasure in God. 3. Being supremely satisfied in God is part of what saving faith is. 4. To find your superior satisfaction anywhere else but in God is the essence of evil. 5. Jesus’ teaching about self denial is based on this pursuit of joy. 6. You cannot love people the way you should if you are indifferent to your joy in God. 7. God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him.

I'm so grateful for these full length sermons.... I've found myself quite housebound for the past year and KZbin and other video platforms are a huge "escape" for me... and 95% of the content out 'there' is soooo toxic, that having this sermon play and be heard for the last hour has been magical.... I've been struggling massively in my walk, and you'd think living a life quite secluded might make it easier.... it totally doesn't... Thank you so much for uploading/sharing this.

[@Stanzi18]

I've been off work for 2 years because of injuries and pastor Piper's ministry has been an enormous blessing from God for me in that time. Pray, brother. Don't neglect your prayer life. That's my biggest piece of advice for your struggles in your walk. Develop a consistent prayer life. When you spend time with God, He changes you.

[@jlalremruata8536]

I really like the way he starts his sermon. Testing people's message through God's Word (the Bible) is the most accurate way to judge and that is the rightful way to know if someone's message is really from God.

[@mr.c2485]

J Lalremruata The Bible is not gods word. It is designed to EXPOSE gods word. It is not the reality of god in itself.

[@jlalremruata8536]

The Bible is God's Word for the Bible itself says so: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.

[@mr.c2485]

J Lalremruata It is also foolishness to those who are perishing. It is by spiritual discernment only that scripture can be read and interpreted as God intended them to be interpreted. Question is.....can you and I tell when someone is legit or not? Quoting scripture doesn’t make you right. Anyone can do that.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

+Mr. C..+J Lalremruata.. Mr. C..you are so Right! Jim Jones and David Koresh quoted the bible! Hitler thought he was doing the world a favor killing Jews because they killed Christ. In the bible all kinds of things are Justified. I think people Did what they wanted and then..simply said.."God Told us.".

[@debrapicard4688]

@@kathleenwharton2139 wow, yes Jim Jones and many others are apostates! The reason we absolutely know PASTOR JOHN PIPER is talking from the HILY SPIRIT within him, is because every single solitary thing John Piper says dovetails with the word of GOD. GOD says we have to be Berean's MEANING to search the scriptures to make sure that we are hearing exactly what GOD, moved men to write down about HIM and what HE wants us to live like. You never just take the words we hear from Pastors and just believe its from THE WORD OF GOD. If any of those people who believed him jones were true bareans, they would have understood that the man was if satan! And satan took 900 people with him because not one CHALLENGED him Jones! Not one searched the scriptures and saw that jones was if satan not GOD. anyone can say they are CHRIST OR A PROPHET BUT IF THEY SEARCH GODS WORD THEY WOULD ABSOLUTELY KNOW IF THE PEOPLE THAT THEY HEAR IS OF GOD OR satan. The HOLY SPIRIT within true believers would cry out APOSTATE!

[@olgas9970]

I pray that I find my satisfaction in God, I intellectually know nothing in the world will satisfy other than God and try to act that way. I trust God can and will open my heart and reveal his goodness and glory to me in a way that will satisfy. I don't always feel that, and I am tired of whipping my thought patterns. I rather act like I love God by following his commands, knowing God strengthens and aids me in that desire, and I will leave it to God to work on my heart.

@28:00-29:00 I think we can say, that, "to find ultimate satisfaction in anything other than God is the essence of evil" is as "thinking we can find ultimate satisfaction in something other than Truth/Love/Ultimate Reality" ... I'm so thankful He calls

[@mikefenwick3901]

So much Truth and Reality. The experience of the spirit of God is that Reality! Thank you Lord for your ever increasing Presents.

[@jayson3843]

I just started listening and there’s two main things that are important one you only get this joy in the presence of God into it only happens when you’re rejoicing in God over everything else. There’s the answer. So if you have a joy that leaves it’s because of idols. Very simple. Someone dies, joy goes away. You get sick, joy goes away, you lose your house, your reputation, your money, joy goes away, it wasn’t in God. Let’s not be deceived.

[@User_at_777]

Piper conflated joy with happiness. Joy is internal, a state of being that never leaves, like salvation. Happiness is external based on a set of favorable circumstances, which come and go.

[@stumbling]

Come to them quietly. Let them seek Him out so that they may know Him for themselves. [edit] I was inspired to write that before I got to the part where he mentioned his sons. I think it is for them. They will be saved. I have found God through a very strange path coming from atheism. I have had to work hard to decipher Biblical rhetoric and parse it in a way that satisfies my high intellect (not a brag as it is cleverness that kept me from God for so long). My goal while I was still an atheist was initially to help understand Christians and convince them to become atheist but to my amazement I found that when my translations spoke to me it was not because they were superior to the Bible but that they affirmed it. I found that I could not replace a single word, only provide a way for myself into God's Word. I hope I can help others along a similar path some day. (Perhaps JP's sons, that would be miraculous!)

[@alternativo537]

This is like wrote Augustine, God must be the focus of our happiness

[@valentinamocanu1003]

Brothers, the Lord showed me 2 months ago, an extraordinary vision, regarding the DAY OF THE LORD. I saw myself outside, among the people, and suddenly, an immense light, which encompassed everything, coming from above, of an unimaginable force and power, hit us unexpectedly. At that moment, I didn't have time for anything, I just managed to shout: OH MY GOD! I woke up instantly, and I heard a voice in my head (I knew it was the Lord), which told me: GOAL! And then I told him, remembering that in the BIBLE, it is written that the Lord's Day is a day of great auspiciousness, as it has never been before and will never be again, and I asked Him if this is what we must do, when we see this light. The LORD answered me that that LIGHT is HIM and that our GOAL from that moment, for salvation, is to CRY FOR HIM!! What I can tell you, after this experience, is that the ONLY thing we need is FAITH in the LORD. Believe me, nothing will save us on that day, except HIM! Glory to our Lord! AMEN!!!!

[@NephilimFree]

1. Believing the good news message of the gospel comes by hearing it preached: Romans 10[17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 2. God has commanded that the good news message of the gospel is to be preached to all people: Mark 16[15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Luke 24[47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Matthew 24[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 3. If God has pre-condemned millions of people before they were born, then preaching the good news of the gospel to them is commanding them to do what they God will not allow them to do. 4. Therefore, preaching the good news of the gospel to those whom God has pre-condemned constitutes telling them a lie. 5. God cannot lie: Titus 1[2] In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;[3] But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 6. Therefore, since the good news of the gospel message cannot be a lie, the gospel message according to the calvinist is not the gospel message of the Bible. 7. Since the gospel message of the calvinist is not the gospel message of the Bible, it constitutes an other gospel. 8. The Word of God tells us that those who preach an other gospel are condemned for doing so: 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.[9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 9. Therefore, calvinism is not true and calvinist are condemned by God for preaching an other gospel.

REAL joy is the power of a sound mind. One that is not moved by the whims of men or the eventualities of life. It’s why Christ came and did what he did for 33 years. He did not come to save us from hell. He came to save us from condemnation.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

+Mr. C.. You are so Right about a Sound Mind! I listened to men quote the bible for years and it was Hell! Such Confusion and contradiction and stupidity! Finally I Saw.."Seek Jesus and His Righteousness." Matthew 6:33. I Did! Jesus brought the bible He wanted me to Read and Helped me Read Every Word. I marked those verses. They are the ones of a Sound Mind! It straightened me out totally and I Can now live in Peace Seeking Jesus. People are so foolish for listening to these men. God has Warned us numerous times in the bible NOT to Listen to Men. I guess they will learn..Someday! In the meantime..we will not be very popular.

[@JS-xs5hq]

I agree with most of this message, but believers who are suffering find it difficult, to impossible, to find joy in anything. That is truth. May the good Lord reveal His truth to John Piper, who openly professes that his body does not hurt. Be careful of preaching on roads you have not walked. 🙏

[@aaronclaycomb4549]

And they are with Christ, and they are G‐d's, and His saints who find joy in Him, whose delights are not on this Earth, but in the Lord. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted, blessed are those who are persecuted for My Namesake, for so too were the prophets. The saints who suffer find joy in Jesus and G‐d Who gives them all spiritual blessings through Christ. Every one who suffers for Jesus will not come up empty, nor short‐handed, not even you. He loves them, and Peter talks about necessary suffering, and count it all joy is a good phrase; there is Thanksgiving and a need to take heart, and never lose heart in anything. Such is prayer. How many times had G‐d rescued you from a situation or situations, thank G‐d for those times. Thank G‐d that you can find satisfaction in Him, thank G‐d that you have His provision to be able to be called to Him He is your Lord and your G‐d. John Piper had battled with depression a long time ago, and is a man. While He may not have pain, or has asked the Lord to give Him that blessing, or the Lord (Who has given that blessing, does so through His most merciful, and Grace Giving G‐d anyone may have the opportunity to believe and put their hope and trust in). This can be found in an episode on depression John did a while ago. On Psalm 40, John said was a "unique form of Evangelism." So in terms of this if you or anyone you know hurts, it's biblical to get prayer, as in James, and is not far from the hand of hand. Ask and ye shall receive. I had a friend who had a dislocated or so shoulder who had prayer, and while it wasn't immediately healed, it took 3 months but it healed my friend had faith, it was gradual but it was done. Others may have spuratic healing, others gradual, but G‐d healed my friend. Maybe you are talking about physical issues or not, but all in all, how can you or I negate John in the love of G‐d and the message, when it is about G‐d, and not us mortals ordained to His glory in those sufferings, sharing with Christ, or being molded into His Image? Those Saints glorify G‐d in those sufferings. We saints can be with them through and through, and they are not separate from the Lord, Who may strengthen them by relationship through that tragedy. I thank G‐d that He is not far. If you want prayer, message me via my page.

Does anyone know which Bible Pastor Piper uses on here?

[@Lili-Benovent]

GOD’S CRIMES - Lili You tell them all about your Lord, they laugh behind your back You know you’re destined for Paradise but what of those you love? They’ll writhe in pain in the bowels of Hell, whilst you watch from above Will you feel their agony and anguish as they suffer, or will you join the pack? The pack of those who lose their love when Jesus makes his claim Where is the love in Paradise, your conscience is to blame? - Or will you lose your conscience in the golden glory of your Lord Or will you begin to doubt, the infallibility of his mind? As you see your loved ones tortured, for striving just to live He breaks the vessels made in love with evil wrath so blind As years roll by in Eternity perhaps you’ll forget God’s crimes But deep down within your heart you’ll remember better times. - For anything would be better than a Tyrant hard and cruel Who watches every moment, every thought his tenants think And if they lapse for just a blink they’re driven to his throne Made to beg forgiveness, made to grovel on the brink The brink of the fiery flames of Hell, destiny for those who can’t atone But why atone when family waits? Better Hell than Heaven shown. - They talk of some strict testing but we should test this evil God His jealous mind craves control, control and unfettered hate He talks of love but it’s not love when he burns imperfect souls And not just once, for Eternity, reveling in their pain, This holy reprobate If you believe this strange God exists, it’s time to review your goals.

[@siquod]

I disagree with his definition of faith. Sure, everything about how we should relate to God should be joyful, but that doesn't mean it IS joy. Faith is a distinct concept and the word would lose its meaning if we defined it as "joy in God". To be fair, the word "faith" already has lost most of its meaning for most people today who think it just means trust or belief or even only belief without evidence.

If he knew the truth he wouldn’t tell us what to believe he would tell us how to believe it. Why do you think that Jesus attacked the teaching of the Pharisees? They knew scripture better than this guy and yet they were disillusioned. I believe this guy is just like them...full of words but not an ounce of truth.

Mr. piper..Why do you Not be an Honest man and tell these people the Truth. Jesus Said to Seek Him and His Righteousness. Father God Gave Us Jesus..specifically..as a Personal Guide to EveryOne who Seek Him. Jesus Told Us..To Ask and we Will Recieve Him. He Promises to Give us Everything we Need and To Deliver us from Evil. Jesus is a Living God..Waiting for people to Seek Him. He is Not a Book and He Does Not Need you to Speak for Him. He Can and Does Speak for Himself..To EveryOne Who has Faith Enough to Believe Him. You are Standing in Jesus Place in these people's lives and You need to Repent and Tell them the Truth.

Job was Told to Stop trying to determine his own righteousness and to Stop listening to his "friends." because they are ALL Wrong. God Himself..is Your Soul Provider and Your Only True Source. Mr. Piper and his own righteousness is "Jobs friend.". He has not got a clue what Gods Righteousness is for You! Jesus Said to "Seek Him and His Righteousness.". He did Not say to seek Mr. piper and his righteousness. If you have not learned this yet..You Will!

What amazing ignorance and arrogance you have to slander someone. Not all his friends were wrong, one was right. Read your Bible. But I guess you only read what you want to read so that it can line up with your imaginary Jesus. At least don't twist the Bible.

@@jessethomas3979 It's because Kathleen is a Mormon heretic Jessie (only they ostracised her as well). And she delights in swimming in absurdity. According to her, Paul was in error and preached a false Gospel! It's easily perceived (as you did) but many don't so quickly... but she'll continue in her heresy the next message that Desiring God /Piper posts. She's literally a drive-by lunatic... And you feel for her at first until she sings the same song week after week. And the sad thing is that she ensnares others (Mr. C ) who are weaker as well which is the deadliness of false belief. Depending upon how regularly you listen to Piper, you'll see Kathleen barking like an annoying Chihuahua (it's unfortunately an apt analogy)... unsolicited and unprovoked, yet mentally deranged (like a fly that never stops). But while MR. C will probably not continue (hopefully he will be made well), Kathleen will still be here months from now, though people warn her from time to time. The enemy has a way within mental illness... It's sad... but then becomes annoying. She only comes here because the followers are Desiring God are patient, or they don't know quite how to deal with her... which is actually kind of dangerous because Desiring God's Godly forum becomes a sounding board for heresy like a parasite. Hopefully with the power of the Spirit in enough believers, she will be thwarted. God bless

[@cjames9320]

The only god John Piper "desires" is the god of this world, the Devil. John Piper preaches damnable heresy that a saved Christian can lose their salvation and that we can somehow make it to heaven through our own righteousness. This is NEVER seen in the Bible, but actually instead is shown that the people that think this way will try and justify themselves before God at judgement and he will cast them into the fire. John piper cheapens the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus as some sort of seasoning. The Bible teaches that Jesus paid it all and paid for all that believe on him alone for salvation

[@TrueLifeAdventures]

I have tested what you say against Scripture John. Which is how I know that your Calvinist theology is false and that you're in error many times. You've established before that everything we do, our choices, our thoughts, etc., are controlled by God. Which makes this, and many of your other "teachings" down right incomprehensible. You keep telling us how to do this or that and then you tell us that this or that is controlled by God anyway. So, who in the world are you talking to and why? How might a man pursue anything, if according to you, the very intent to pursue or not to pursue is controlled by God anyway? You don't have Calvinism Mr. Piper...Calvinism has you.

[@mr.c2485]

The Bible itself is difficult to believe and trust. So...trusting this guy is irrelevant. Telling us to test him through reading the Bible is nonsensical.

[@trinajohnson3260]

Rejecting the Bible rejects the living God almighty creator of everything. The Bible is factual and can be proven historically. It is the number one selling book of all time. So Mr. C why are you here?

[@mr.c2485]

Trina Johnson I’m not an atheist. I’m simply asking questions that I hope will prompt people to think outside the box. I’m willing to bet that this guy has never asked himself WHY anyone should believe him. Quoting scripture doesn’t make you right. The Pharisees proved that. They could quote it perfectly and yet Christ attacked their beliefs on what it was saying every time he talked to them. So.....what were they missing?

[@mr.c2485]

Hannelore Tepper Really? Question: why flood the planet and drown innocent babies and toddlers when God could simply “poof” them out of existence? What does he have to prove? The only ones left are just a small family of people who would have accepted the “poofing” out of all people without question. So...is God a narcissist with a point to prove or does his creation mean that little to him? Just because people reject his boy is not reason enough to kill by drowning. And don’t give me that “ god has his reasons” crap. Even you wouldn’t drown babies. And that’s just one example...I have many.
