- The fight of faith is really a fight for joy. Like any real battle, you shouldn’t enter the ring without strategies for victory.

To hear someone say that they come home really happy is sooooooooooo precious, my word!
Thank God for this helpful and beautiful message. How God longs to help us in our weaknesses. I thank you Father. You're so good.
Thank you for this series, it has helped bring me out of the miry bog. I am forever grateful for pastor John piper and the desiring God team.
I thank God for jhon piper a true blessing.
Thank you for the series, pastor John and DG team!
"One of the things the Lord is doing in the darkness of your life is fitting you to be able to bare more fruitful witness to His mercies when you come out."
I absolutely agree what we see as impossible God sees as done. Where we put a question mark God puts an exclamation point!
Amen.. 🙏
Be patient, be modest in the dark, as you fight for joy.
You Abba, have humbled me over and over and over again by your beauty, glory and yes this..your love and mercy. Help me. Soften this hardened heart of mine. In Lord Yahshua; the Christ name. Amen.
John Piper's passion when he is teaching how to find joy in Christ, is unparalled to any experience I have witnessed. Thank God for the love this man exhibits for the mercies we receive from God the Father, thru His Son Who He sent to pay the ransome for our ungodliness. This series will open your eyes to experience God in a new way and show you every aspect of why you might have lost your joy and passion for the Lord Jesus Christ; and quide you in renewing your faith and love.i highly recommend watching this whole series. What a blessing. Thank you John Piper for sharing this series with the world. What a godly, sincere man "on fire" for Christ! 💗
Praise be to God alone. Thank you Father God for using this man of God as a vessel to speak to my heart, opening the eyes of my heart that were being clogged with the sleppiness of spiritual laziness.... Your promises we can rely on and father God I must always depend upon you....a word of wisdom of a Godly sort.. And you answered... God is faithful. Faithful is God.
This series feeds my spirit with joy because everything points to our glorious God! Your name oh Lord will be praised forever and ever! My joy is found in you God alone~
This really isn't an option in my life, it is a necessity. As i daily see and experience mundane Christian life, Christian life should be everything but..We should be in each others lives...good thought
Thank you so much for uploading these videos
Thank you for uploading these. They have been such a blessing to me.
I’m so grateful I saw this. I’m struggling w my moods and doubt…AND no sleep. Complacency too. Ughh.. I need to sleep first, and I think that might fix some other problems. Thank you for this sermon!

Summary of Part 5-6.
This is not meant to excuse any of us from watching the full sermon but to act as a reminder those who have watched, and a 'trailer' for those who are yet to watch the whole thing.
1. Meditate on the Word of God day and night.
2. In all your reading of the Bible, focus on the centrality of God and especially Christ.
3. In all your reading of the Bible, don't spare yourself the terrible glimpses of God's wrath.
4. Learn to preach to yourself.
5. Pray earnestly and continually for everything you need to be happy in God.
6. Resolve to fight every known sin in your life.
7. Commend Christ with your lips wherever you go.
8. Spend time with God-saturated people who will help you see God and fight the faith of faith.
9. Read biographies of great Christian saints (e.g. Hebrews 11).
10. Read great books about God.
11. Get the rest and exercise and proper diet that your body was designed by God to have.
12. Make proper use of natural revelation.
13. Do the hard and loving things for the sake of others.
14. Get a global vision for the cause of Christ and pour yourself out for the unreached.
15. Be patient on the night of God's seeming absence.
Fight for joy.
Does anyone know what's the name of the hymn at the end?
"God Moves in a Mysterious Way"
by William Cowper, 1731-1800
Be Thou My Vision
We are ALL sinners that fall short of the glory of God. And we ALL are deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (sin is evil and it is the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus suffered soooo much for us, and that’s why He died on the cross for ALL our sins (past, present, AND future sins) and rose from the dead 3 days later! Jesus did all this because He loves us sooooo much, you can’t even fully comprehend it! And you may have eternal life with Him if you repent (to change your mind about Jesus, to believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord our God) and have faith in Him, then you will be saved! (Let’s make it clear that being a good person WILL NOT get you into Heaven! You can only be saved by the grace God will show you, if you repent and have faith in Jesus and in what Jesus did for us on the cross and that He rose from the dead 3 days after He died for us! ONLY THEN, will you will be saved)! And do not wait because you do not know when you will die (sit and think deeply about that. You have NO CLUE when you will die! Today could be your last day, tonight could be your last night. You can die in your sleep or even in the next hour!) I want you to realize how urgent and important it is to have Jesus! But if you have Jesus, you will NEVER have to worry! You won’t have to worry about school, family problems, life, or EVEN DEATH because you will have the LORD your GOD, RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE HOUR, EVER SINGLE MINUTE and EVERY SINGLE SECOND of your life! GOD can help you through ANY challenge, through ANY hardship, and through ANY depressing time in your life! GOD WILL NEVER leave you, GOD WILL NEVER forget about you, GOD WILL NEVER betray you, GOD WILL NEVER forsake you, and GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!! And that is why GOD is calling you RIGHT NOW to be saved!
What if it's impossible for me to get the sleep I need?
Pray about it - Askthe Father what to do. He will send you to sleep, protect you, then wake you up. De-clutter your life if need be, and try work something out with the LORD! Praise GOD xXx Be encouraged!! You can do it!! xXx
Can someone summarise Parts 1-6 for me, because I can't bring myself to watch it all. Please?
More than three hours of grace is being offered to you, and you can't bring yourself to receive it? I can promise you, you wouldn't regret a second of it. More than that, you will want to watch them all again. :)
If you have no desire to see for yourself, a summary will do you no good.
Watch it surely!
It's been 2 years, I hope you found 3 hours to watch it by now lol
i think there is an online transcript on their website! its a little faster to read if you don't have time
yup, definitely John Piper's fault. I'm sure God is blaming him too, not the people that enacted those policies. How about blaming your parents for the rebellion you had as a teenager? They could have done more speaking into your life. They probably did some, but they should have done more.
