I love this. It’s not about knowing the will of God regarding “what’s next in my life,” as much as it is to wait patient for God to reveal what He has planned for us. We must change our focus to knowing the moral will of God and doing it. Then God will, in His timing, reveal the earthly things He designed us to do, such as our job, who to marry, what to eat, etc. Application: 1. Read the Bible to learn God’s moral will for EVERYONE. How God wants us to live is all in the Bible, it has the answer. 2. Pray for God to RENEW our mind and allow the Holy Spirit to live through us so what we do brings glory to God and shows that we are women and men of God. 3. Obey.
Yet Piper claims he knew what God's will was very early in his life. That's what happens when you become a Calvinist, you lose a piece of what God is capable of and he becomes smaller.
I've been listening to your sermons and can see that the Lord has anointed you to preach and has given you a bold heart of compassion! Praise God for the working of the holy spirit in you, I'm being changed through the word of God and the work of God that is so evident in who you are , christ is who you are ! Christ is who I am! And I'm moved by the movement of the holy spirit in you and the boldness that you preach the WORD OF GOD , so praise Jesus!!!!!!!

While I agree with the overall message... I wouldn't say that 'there is not virtue in seeing tomorrow' and that 'satan does that'. For example, Joseph was given dreams of the future by God and it was virtuous of Joseph to utilize them. I just wouldn't make such an absolute claim that future premonitions are always evil and from the devil. I am not trying to defend ungodly predictions, as those are wrong, but just saying that knowing the future wouldn't be inherently bad. In fact, we should try to predict it and make wise investments. But we definitely shouldn't rely on crystal balls or witchcraft.
All praise to our Lord God our precious Savior Jesus Christ all glory to Them The Father The Son And The Holy Spirit And Thank you dear pastor Piper, you are a good man and pastor I so enjoy hearing you teach and preach on The Lord and things that I’ve not heard and other scripture that I didn’t understand, I Thank you for helping me to understand better my Father And Lord Jesus message and letter of His love to His children and all that want and need to get to know and understand the most important knowledge for all mankind,You John Piper are an extraordinary teacher and man of our God and I Thank you very much for your time you put into spreading the message of hope and promises of God to those who love Him and reminds us how much God loves us I’m looking forward to anything new and anything so far Sir you have made for the public to view .
what a Blessing you are Dear Pstor John, the Lord really loves his sheep, that he speaks tthrough Godly Men like youYou feed our Souls with that living water. God Bless you and your Family
This came at a timely point in my life. I've been tortured for a while now by small choices (like whether to grab the doorknob with my left hand or right - which is the will of God?). So this is a great relief to me, and comes on top of God already moving to free me more and more from these crippling decisions! Praise God for that!
Have you ever read anything about ocd? I can relate with the small choices pastor John said as well, sometimes it’s drives me nuts. But I’m pretty sure God is taking care of us.
@@caroline4801 I have! I've been afraid of being bound by it. But God is freeing me! Especially with this sermon. I'm tired of being tortured by every tiny decision. You're right, God takes care of us. He is so kind and good!
@@TheSilverWolf9 same for me, sometimes I feel it is interfering in my relationship with Christ, due to the guilt and shame I’ve been feeling caused by my “crazy” and compulsive thoughts. But I know Jesus is freeing me from that as well. I going to pray for you, could you tell me your name, please?
@@TheSilverWolf9 well, I guess that’s why I felt inclined to change the comments filter from “top comments” to “newest first”, something i wouldn’t usually do! Then your comment popped up on my screen! If you need something, just post a comment over here and I’m gonna reach you out! May Jesus bless and take care of you, Jennifer! 💛
Prophecy is a prediction of the future from God, john here is talking about knowing exact outcomes. Faith doesn't exist if you know exactly how things will happen.
So God isn't strong enough to show me his will for my life? Why do Calvinist underestimate God so much, yet Piper claims he knew God's will was for him to be a preacher very early on....
Terrible Christian, not at all that i am calling anyone that, the one w the name t/c - i feel weird saying that, its kinda like having the words 'gay' and 'marriage' together, they don't attache! Lol anyways, Amen, i agree and wanted to say that our Theology should always lead to Doxology. If ones Theology doesn't lead to Doxology, we miss the mark. Theology helps us understand who GOD is, and then Doxology is worship; but not what people these days generally call worship, i.e. Our everyday Christian life is our worship, not just music and singing. So if we have Doxology, and not Theology, we worship something or or someone other than GOD, YHWH- which is idolatry. Theology without Doxology however, just leads to a cold orthodoxy with no Life in it! So, indeed both must be applied and there should be a balance. keep pressing in!!!†!!! Grace, Peace, and LOVE, to all the elect of YHWH.
ChîRhôpher Lazarus I see you wrote this 2 years ago but Amen! This is something I've learned and am constantly learning in pursuit of! Love live and cherish God rightly, He alone is worthy! Our everyday life is our worship in pursuit of the glory of God in all things!
John, You are teaching Calvinism which is an evil doctrine..... That is not the Will of God, John.... God wants you to teach a pure Words of God, Not a mixture of Scriptures and man's imagination.....
How to have a mind that knows the will of god; simply pretend to know things you do not know. There is no evidence for god, so everyone claiming to know "his" will is pretending to know things they do not know. You can do this too. Its easy.
LivingmyTruth How do you explain that cultures who do NOT believe in your god have moral systems, and lower crime and murder rates than the US? Animals also have moral systems. You can hardly call a lion "immoral" because it must eat a zebra for dinner.
+Nicholas Flamel the fact that some cultures don't believe in God and have 'better' morals doesn't make it better. there is no better religion than Christianity in terms of morals.. now whether we as Christians follow through is a different thing. many religions follow rules and conducts that keep them from committing "sin". but Christianity doesn't give you a list of do's and dont's so it looks more liberal but we have God's principles by which we live everyday. The fruits of the Spirit in a Christian life which he spoke about in this video is the highest form of morality against which there is no law. Also if you take your thinking on how animals operate and apply it to human beings what will you have.? people like Hitler shouldn't be frowned at. Besides you wouldn't call a lion immoral because the word moral doesn't apply to it in the first place, which was my point. On a final note its not Christians committing the crimes in US but people without God. God loves you.
LivingmyTruth Blah Blah Blah.... You have ZERO evidence that your sadistic god even exists, and yet you think the bible is moral? The god in the bible commands or condones slavery, genocide, human sacrifice, rape of female war captives, and the murder of people of other cultures, homosexuals, and unfaithful wives. The god your bible describes is a monster.
I love pastor John's heart.
When you are born again, God changes you.
He presents the gospel so lovingly. I love Pastor Piper.

How could we know gods will if there is no god ?
But Paul talks about the gift prophecy is better than speaking in tongues or interpretation
Prophecy is a prediction of the future from God, john here is talking about knowing exact outcomes. Faith doesn't exist if you know exactly how things will happen.
So God isn't strong enough to show me his will for my life? Why do Calvinist underestimate God so much, yet Piper claims he knew God's will was for him to be a preacher very early on....
Nobody can read or predict or know how to undermined God
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven ✝️

How can you teach people to Have a Mind That Knows the Will of God,
When you, yourself don't have the mind to know the will of God ?

You are teaching Calvinism which is an evil doctrine.....
That is not the Will of God, John....

if there was no God there will be no need for the word purpose or morals. we will be living like animals tearing down weaker ''species''
