I did drugs , adultery and almost every sin that i could think of , i am a 27 year old man , 1.85 and 90 kg , and to cry like a little girl in the presence of the Holy Spirit it was the most beautiful thing i have ever experienced because that got me to change and ever since i repented.
Amen, brother! Thank God for the Holy Spirit, the most beautiful promise that we have been given. May He open continue to open our eyes and direct us toward the love of God and the patience of Christ.
Praise God that no matter the number or types of our sin, once we repent and turn towards Jesus alone in faith, our sins are forgiven and forgotten, forever!
It truly is the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. Out of no where, the indescribable love of God and his greatness. All I could do was fall to the floor, get on my knees and praise Jesus and the Father whilst crying my eyes out. Praise Jesus.
can you tell me what you experienced? Was it a physical sensation or did it have a physical sensation component? Or was it a purely emotional sensation? Did it feel peaceful or blissful?
One thing, if some of you know that you have not experienced this, but have strong thirst for it, even that thirst is a work of God. He cultivates the thirst before he pours out, if He puts thirst in you, its His desire to quench it. But press on to seek it!
A wonderful word, thank you for encouraging me tonight! You are so right. Thank you Lord, that you do indeed woo us and draw us, and then when we seek, we find. Let those of us who have not experienced this Love, know it now I pray.
I am a cab driver and I am 41, had this when I prayed in my cab three months ago. I am refreshed , loved , outpoured with love and strong eagerness to follow Christ. Blessing, Holiness , Glory to your name O'Christ my saviour. You are my love my lover
You sure it's not the devil. I mean how can you be sure this Jesus of yours is not really just a fallen angle. John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. "
Actually if you do hear people talking to you, like HIM ; check yourself into the nearest hospital. Tell someone there all about this talking you hear, they will help. NB you used pronounce capitalized in middle of sentence. "I" is the only pronoun you capitalize in middle of sentences.
Ask the parents of those starving children in Africa what God's love feels like. You can also visit any childrens' Cancer hospital in your local area. Looking at photos of the Syrian civil war will also work.
Came home from work, saw that my fiance made chicken wings with my favorite topping. Don't know why but I started crying and praying thanking God for His Love thru her.(Because she was thinking of me).. I Typed "God's Love" and this popped up. Don't think lightly of your compassionate/empathic gestures towards other human beings despite how minute the act may seem. Please Love people. Please Love people. Ask HIM for HIS LOVE..HIS Kingdom WILL Reign.. Selah!
I have been damaged by many Christian people indirectly. I have had the belief that God doesn't really love me for a long time now. This video has really helped in healing these scars. I needed to be woke up from the sin I was in and get serious about following Jesus but now I really need to feel God's love cause I am hungry and starved for it.
Maple Street Pictures you and me both. I've been lukewarm for too long. the main thing holding me back is fear. and laziness and sometimes doubt. But I want to have a sincere, pure relationship with God and Jesus so I will keep going. Don't give up! God bless you
I always think of it like this. I know God loves the devil and that's why the devil is going to hell. Because God is love. Then I start wondering what is making me think like this and why. Try that if you feel think or feel that way again.
I just felt a sudden overflowing of God's love after praying. It felt so wonderful and I'm still crying because it feels so wonderful. It truly motivates you to walk in his ways. Praise God!
It’s not just the gift to preach but he’s anointed because without it nothing happens, it’s just words. The anointing gives his words wings to fly into not just your mind but make that 18 inch drop from the mind to the heart, so that the the words are not chaff but bread that can feed the hungry and this’s what the body of Christ need living bread that satisfies the soul. I don’t know him well but he lives in the presence of God and that’s what makes a true preacher, living in His presence. “Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of me” (John 6:57)
His love is real and I feel it. There's nothing that feels better it's the purest and mightiest of highs that no drug or desire in the flesh can even come close too! There is certainly no question about feeling the love, when you feel it, you feel it and it feels really good to be filled with the love of our heavenly father. A feeling like no other!! Thank you Papa for never giving up on me. Amen amen amen I will never give up on you¡
@@233yyd I'm extremely down and anxious every day and I do almost nothing but seek Him. The end is very near, can't compromise now. Pray to be utterly desperate enough to force your way into the kingdom with violence. Only a few months left in my opinion, but He could come any day now.
surrender all to the Lord , The experience is freedom peace deliverance , ive been a very bad boy in my walk , yet when i surrenderd with sincerity and a knowing that he can do miracles , after the proof of many , now am experiencing more than i could imagine , i never knew how good his calling on the life he has purchased can be , nothing and i know now , can dare to be, compared to His Love and faithfulness to me . He always forgives , never leaves me , has been the surgeon of a new heart , and is teaching me to give primary truths , as He reminds me , theres nothing to prove anymore ........................ Thankyou Lord Jesus
I pray the full armour of God upon you 1.... the Belt of Truth 2.... the Breast plate of Righteousness 3..... the Helmet of Salvation 4......the boots of Peace 5...... the Shield of Faith 6.......the Sword of Truth which is the Word ................ 💪💪💪💪 ❤️🤗❤️🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈🌈🌈
I have tasted outpouring of God's love in Christ Jesus personally. It's the most beautiful experience that I have encountered. love that is so so pure and real. Be God be the glory.
I had this experience a lot as a Child, overflow; as I got older and experienced a lot of trauma and tribulations, I experience it less. But, it still happens and it keeps me. I miss it rn, and I am wondering “where did it go?” However, it’s still there if I can’t feel it; He’s carried me when it’s hard and the pouring of this love, that fresh oil, has given me more security than I can ask for. I struggle often, pray for me. But, His love will never end for me and I’m beyond blessed, even if I don’t feel loved by anyone here.
If you have ever felt true love of your loved ones. Your mother, your father, your brother or sister, close friend, colleague, anyone. If you have ever felt their love especially a family members unconditional love- you've felt God's love. The fact that you desire His presence is proof that He's right there with you. God bless you- keep turning to Him and He will show you His Awesome love and power. He's already shown His love by sacrificing His ONLY son for us sinners. He loves you that much. Thanks be to God.
That was me! I literally spoke those words out loud, "God so loved the world, I am part of the world, therefore God loves me." Only at age 66, watching television, I heard the words "I have redeemed you, I have called you by name, you are mine" and the shell around my heart broke away and I knew (experienced) God's love for me personally. And I have never been the same since then. "I was one way, and now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him."
This one really did a number on me - took me on quite a journey, went into a state of anxiety, prayed started calmed down, went for a walk, saw nice things in the night sky - and just experienced peace, I don't really have this feeling that I am loved, but I kinda just know I'm loved now, and that the feeling is way better than before - Not that I look for feelings, but like - This sermon really impacted me
Pastor John Piper, thank you for your Ministry and Devotion and Joyful love and heart for "The Sovereign Father and The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit" ROMANS 8:8-9 Those Who are in the Flesh Cannot Please GOD. You, however, are not in the Flesh But in the SPIRIT, if in fact the SPIRIT of GOD Dwells in you. Anyone Who Does Not have the SPIRIT of CHRIST Does Not Belong to HIM. I Say Truly Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, AMEN
Thank you God for killing all those oppungners of capitalism. Today you got rid of 10 000 children, because their evil communists parents won't embrace thee. Smitten them children with hunger and disease. Please smitten them young, but make sure they suffer plenty. Sure some of them may be christian but they come from dirty countries who might even hate Trump. God bless your unconditional love for us. Keep killing them with your love that never fades. God bless America except those dumb people who live near hurricane and tornado valley. Please kill the Democrats faster.
Gentle StormToo God made the world, and man alone brought evil to it. Likewise man alone continues to do evil instead of good. Don’t blame god for evil when god is good.
I love John Piper's excitement and zeal for God. His enthusiasm is infectious. I've just recently found Desiring God while looking for commentaries to get a deeper understanding of God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. His youtube videos are great. It's nice to put a face to a name. Amen brother. 😇
excellent friend. The HOLY TRINITY (Three Persons, ONE [Being] In Essence) Is One of my favorite topics; Beautiful! You are welcome to access of any knowledge i have found in Holy Scripture. Magnifying The HOLY LORD CHRIST JESUS, to the Glory of GOD The HOLY FATHER, by The ALMIGHTY HOLY SPIRIT.
Deb Harris - that was three years ago when I posted this. I no longer watch John Piper. I don't believe the hyper grace or once saved always saved doctrine that is being preached. Thanks Deb ❤️
Deb Harris - what I mean Deb, is if someone who professes to believe in Jesus Christ comes to a saving grace, that is, repents and accepts Jesus is Lord over their life, is baptised and receives the gift of the Holy Spirit and is saved. If they then continue to live their lives as they did before believing, because they believe in hyper-grace, once saved always saved, to my understanding of scripture, if they believe their sinful choices are no longer judged by God regardless what they do - then Yes. I do believe they will loose their salvation. I'm NOT talking about our sin that we fall into or struggle in prayer with. God knows our hearts. I'm talking about those who by their lives crucify Jesus all over again and don't care because they were taught of God's hyper-grace. Which, by the way is never mentioned in scripture. Hope that helps answer your question. ❤️
I feel God's love I'm so thankful to have God in my life everyday. Please continue and walk.wuth me everyday and help me to love,others who wants and needs to be loved
The experience of the Holy Spirit is like nothing ever I have felt before often times I have felt close to God and under his protection . But now this is something completely has taken me into flight . I only hope I can help people come to know Christ and feel his presence . Just listening to this an ambulance went by I use to well up in tears of how many times that noise would pound through the door of this home of Gods . Just the noise could take it off the hinges it went through me like this big punch of wind in tears . Now I hear them and look up to my God and pray in his sons name Lord be with them help them send Lord send to protect and love them . Sometimes like today I will feel his answer through my body the presence I hear when he hears my prayers now it’s wonderful it’s his heart that he gives to me everyday . When I pray and talk to him sometimes it’s just quiet then I can hear sometimes I hear an amen and it’s not my voice then again I feel his presence it’s liike a breath that goes through you and it magnify stronger the stronger it gets the more Joy it’s Joy like no other in tvOS world it’s Peace it quiets everything it beams inward and outward then it warms like a hug it radiates inside . Oh how I pray my loved ones and everyone can feel and experience this . You go through your day and when your not praying or talking it’s been time past time you haven’t felt it slow down it’s a call to slow down in your mind be watchful of what your doing and hand it to him working cleaning if your handing it to him that’s the slow down that bro ha you back into his presence . That’s what Hohn means when you can’t feel it just hand what your doing driving anything start talking to him I offer what I see and hear to you Lord soon he is with you again and again . Oh God Bless is that our God Loves us that Jesus came for us to Bring us back to the Father. Gather is Jesus bring us all too you Bring us to the Father. .
I was a Christian in 1980 in a standard church that just talked Doctrine but it wasn't until 1983 that I was filled with the Holy Spirit while I was in prayer for about a month seeking the Lord, and I wasn't going any church. And then in 1985 I finally learned through my own study of the word spirit that my experience in 1983 was the Holy Spirit oh, so this shows you how poor the teaching in a lot of churches is. This is what Paul ran into when we saw some brothers in Ephesus that didn't even know about the Holy Spirit. So I know what they were going through, powerlessness, knowing the truth but not having the power to actually do the truth, having a form or appearance of godliness but denying the power of godliness because I was a cessationist. But I got filled in 1985 after I did that study on the Holy Spirit quite unexpectedly just as 1983 was quite unexpectedly, and this completely changed my experiences about God. I didn't have to just take it by faith in some theological Doctrine that this was true because I had experienced this profoundly and so evangelism was very much second nature because I could speak from personal experience and not just from head knowledge that I had to somehow take by faith. It turns out that faith in the Greek doesn't have anything to do with mental agreement as it has to do with trust, and dependence Upon A trustworthy person. So once again churchianity has really confused a lot of people but the Lord is faithful he got me to experience the truth and then it was not hard to defend the truth or to share the truth.
A beautiful sermon helping me so much. Thank you Pastor Piper. I was looking at the second paragraph in the book of Job today along with thinking of my own children, and the example of his parenting and love. I used to be in Mom's In Touch, and this love you told of here,...of our heavenly Father's to us,....it was so beautiful and true to hear tonight. Thank you.
It is absolutely unbelievable to me that this sermon received 104 dislikes. You know they say that you don't really change much you just sin less, I used to have a hard hate towards people now I have a hard hate towards the demonic spiritual realm. Not that it has turned all weird for me but that it is very real and I do not let any unclean thing settle in my mind much less manifest itself. Christ deserves all of us he bought all of us, therefore this sermon is very clear to me. Keeping myself in the kept keeping how Christ has kept me has always been one of my stepping stones, my highways to deliver myself to a place most glorious and receiving what the Holy Spirit provides for me in making and manifesting Christ so magnificent and beautiful I am so glad that when he comes he will render all accounts settled!!! Charles Ty John Piper we love you with all of our hearts and so we will never hesitate to receive Christ joy never ever ever..
🙋♀️. Praise the Lord...... I very much enjoyed the truth that John Piper spoke How well he explained the verses and helped it all make sense The Holy Spirit is truly guiding your words Blessings to my Brothers and Sisters...... 🙌🙌🙏🙏
By far John, the best sermon I have heard regarding the Holy Spirit. I felt God's Spirit on my birthday, back in 1997. I was broken, and needed some kind of verification that there was a God. God showed me, by sending His Holy Spirit INTO MY HEART, as you have stated. The experience was so intense, that I wept uncontrollably for weeks. And the beauty about this experience, was that it was accompanied by an IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION, that it was the love of Jesus, and what he suffered on the cross, to free us from sin. Nobody had to tell me. It was in my heart. To this day I'm not religious. I don't need to be, because I've been saved by God's Grace, through His Holy Spirit, that I could NEVER DENY! (let alone, earn through my good works) The only word that comes out of my heart anymore is GLORY!!!!! He loves showing Himself through a humble heart. That's how powerful and perfect, God's love is!!!
God loves us all. The babies born with cancer who die in agony. Especially them. He loves them and forgives them their sins and offers them grace with him. We rejoice in their suffering and fear. Amen.
Pastor John this sermon of yours sheds a great light on God's love especially in the last section when you shared 2 Thessalonians 3:05 about asking for God's directions into our hearts. Thanks for this encouraging message, may God bless you more.
Excellent verses. Thank you. "The essence of wealth is love for Me; whoso loveth Me is the possessor of all things, and he that loveth Me not is indeed of the poor and needy." ~ Baha'i Faith
I feel so grateful because God could have not chose to give me His love, but He's done it. But first, I had do pray for it, a prayer that He, in His grace, made me do, because by myself, I wouldn't want it. THANK YOU JESUS
Pastor John Piper, I thank God for your ministry of preaching and teaching that continues to point me back to the One True and living God, to grasp His greatness. To God be the glory, forever and ever, Amen. Zimbabwe
Good message! The Spirit bore witness with my spirit this morning reading Romans that I'm a child of God. I was not sure if I was really saved. I felt His love poured into my heart seeing that verse. I've often read that verse and moved along, but it hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. I searched for a message that talked about this section of Romans and this confirms what I experienced. Praise God in Christ for His unfathomable grace! I want it to overflow to others.
I thank God for you thru the holy spirt John Piper. i feel it u cant deny the love of God we are lost sheep for the slaughter. We believe anything without the holy spirit. Praise GOD ALMIGHTY! PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG?
The knowledge of our depravity & the extent to which our Lord has gone to redeem us to Himself is basis of Salvation. That's the start of the revelation of the magnitude of God's love for us. So a message of introduction of God's love is for the unsaved (not for a Christian). I would believe this message is meant for unbelievers. Growth as child of God (after salvation) is basically the increase in our knowledge of our sinfulness & the discovering of the never ending limit of God's love. If you need to be introduced to God's love, you need salvation.
@Deb Harris How do we learn from the Love of Christ? First we realise the Love at Calvary (Salvation). This realisation starts with the understanding of God's love in our mind & experiencing His love in our heart. This empowerment to grow in the knowledge of His love, is given by the indwelling Holy Spirit of God which we receive @ Salvation. 🔰Ephesians 3 "16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
What I hope for is that ALL people know that God DOES love you VERY dearly, BUT at the same time the saved and unsaved need to understand that God's love is NOT unconditional. As Christians we are commanded to stay faithful to God and His Word...the "Word" being Christ. God bless and I pray all of you find the peace that "...Surpasses all understanding..." Philippians 4:6.
The experience of being loved by God is: 1.) Poured through by the Holy Spirit; it's supernatural 2.) Knowledge of historical facts from the Bible (seek to know Him) & the Holy Spirit working together to make this experience happen 3.) Experiencing new birth makes us a Christian, the Holy Spirit pouring the love of God into your heart 4.) Enjoyment of growing in your faith throughout all stages, keep moving forward "If you've had no help from your parents to discern what God is like, you got bigger things to overcome" -John Piper
If you Love the LORD GODFATHER in CHRIST,then you shall experience HIS LOVE All the rest of Eternity in Christ.Keep on Loving GOD in Christ and your neighbor and abide in the Love of the Lord God Jesus Christ.Amen,... Praise GOD
I want to be a true Christian so badly, but I'm not sure if I've experienced the outpouring of God's love. I came to Christ four years ago (and turned from sin) and have been diligently seeking him and pleading for this experience and other things I'm missing.
There are people on this site who claim to be atheist, so I don't understand why they clicked on this video. I heard someone say "it takes more faith to not believe there is a God than to believe there is!"
And have experienced Gods love through the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ and been forgiven and was loved by God and Jesus Christ the Gift of God in the Holy Spirit.
