John- I am seriously loving these spirit-filled, short podcasts! As a mom of young children, I love that I can listen to these in under 15 mins and get truth and encouragement for my day! Thank you brother! God is so good!
John, thank you for being such a blessing in my life. From Rebirthing to sword and shield. God has instilled in you a Holy Spirit fire to ignite a revolution. To cause an insurrection amongst Christians against the devil and his hordes of destruction. I want to encourage you to remain vigilant and persistent in this crusade of the revealing and relevance of truth. God bless you.
We must humble ourselves and submit to the working of the Holy Spirit and He will bring understanding.
I feel personally attacked with the Dr Pepper and donettes talk 😂
So true John! It's simple to fillow Christ. It may not be easy, but He is our strength to do His will.
Love this! It’s as simple or as hard as we make it. My son has multiple disabilities including autism and blindness. He loves and worships Jesus with his whole heart. He loves without prejudice and couldn’t care less what kind of car you drive, where you’ve been or how much money you make. He forgives totally and almost immediately. He doesn’t know a word of Greek but he knows Jesus.
I had front row seats to the Mobile show and my special needs son started running 104 fever and we could not come. I had meet and greet tickets and didnt get to use them! Oh well, I helped fund your ministry. Thanks for all you do for the Lord. Keep it up!
keep it simple, obey the Word of God. AMEN!! Thank you John, excellent podcast, full of Truth.... everything we need ...the Law of the Lord is SUFFICIENT. let us take up our cross, follow HIM, dieing to our flesh. 🙌
Thank you John Cooper for this reminder! ❤
Yes👏👏 Amen, excellent Word given today John. Thank you. Lord help us all to live for you more. You have so much more to offer than this world. 🙌👑📯
John, I was feeling down and out this month and this truly encouraged me. I thank God for you, your family, and Skillet. Thank you brother.
Loved the lesson and I might add a quote by Ty Webb..." A flute with no holes is not a flute. A donut with no holes is a Danish" I love this series, John, it is life-giving and edifying to see your passion in sharing the truth!
Amen thank you Jesus for brother John copper my brother in christ keep blessing him as speaks the truth your word and help me lord Jesus to keep living for you in Jesus name Amen
Yes!! New S&S!! Let's go!
"...not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God..." wow, that just kind of hit me... When you walk by earthly wisdom you're trying to figure everything out intellectually, but when we walk by God's grace it's way easier... in fact we can boldly approach the throne of grace in time of need... I walk through the fire by God's grace. Can we let go of the need to understand and just walk in grace? I love the idea of embracing the simplicity of our faith... speaking and acting sincerely from the heart... I guess I don't have to have a grand testimony in order to share my faith.
Brother Cooper I appreciate your love for the Word of God . Keep on
Yes!! I've missed this series.Thank you and God bless you, John!!!
The struggles with the body are real for all of us…one day at a time brother, substituting something better in its place, that’s how we defeat a habit.
Our bodies are given to us by the Lord, temples of the Holy Spirit. If we mistreat our bodies by improper or overconsumption, gluttony, etc… we “miss the mark”. What’s a Hebrew/Greek term for “miss the mark”?….hmmmm.
We definitely make life too complicated. All the best on your journey 🙏🏻
John, I'm 36 and I've been given the tools to do what Jesus has called us to do. Sometimes it's a breeze other times it's how weight is it going to break my silence for me to stand firm for Jesus. Its easier to be with sinners to speak Jesus than with my church community and friends. Your new book is going to help speak up for the world live in today. Specially for a guy like me working in the entrainment industry.
Thank you. John cooper👍❤️🙏
YAAAAAAAY!!!!! This made my morning a little brighter! ❤
Wow! This makes sense. The world IS CONFUSING! Share the Lord and..."I'm a Catholic. I'm good" or "I'm Hindu/Muslim/Jewish/Mormon/JW/new age/atheist/agnostic. I'm good" or "You're good is evil and hateful and my evil is good and loving" "No thank you. Not interested"
There is so much more to sharing the greatest News of all times then believer telling unbeliever. Usually the best cases involve talking to people who just don't know what they are
Love these. Please keep them coming. Thanks John. Im always sending love and prayers.
Amen!
Thank you John!!
Hey, John! I love your Sword and Shield teachings. Please consider doing more. I have greatly benefited from them thus far.
Lynyrd Skynyrd had it right all those years ago. Just be a simple man, someone you love and understand. That's your testimony. That's far more powerful than anything else. Especially to your children.
Awesome, Brother!! Thnx 🙏👊
Let's go!
I so wish I could have gotten off work for your show tonight in Spartanburg! Next time feel free to come across the street to the Fire Station for some coffee! God Bless
If you read the Bible as a believer, you are a theologian! Love your podcast! Keep up the great work!
John! Been with Skillet since your first album as a kid… seeing you for the first time in Huntsville tonight for my birthday! Totally stoked!!! Thank you for your integrity and dropping some (legit) hard truth in the midst of the culture being what it is. Yall inspire my family to stay strong in what we know the truth is. 👊🏻🤙🏼 Diana ps: hope you are doing back to life!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Loving this series! Keep it up John!
So encouraging! I needed this.
That'll preach👊☝️💪
i like Cooper stuff i watching since 4 years
Love this, John! Thank you so much, it's very helpful and timely.
Thank you brother needed that encouragement 💪🏼
Amen! Thanks, brother, for sharing another powerful Word of God. Micah 6:8 Have a Victorious Day!
Thank you, I needed this reminder.
Jesus said, "apart from me you can do nothing." We cannot gut it out and be obedient in our own strength. We have to walk in the Spirit so that we do not fulfill the desires of the flesh. We need to be in the word and submit to His authority, relying on His power and His wisdom from His word and the moment by moment guidance of the Holy Spirit to live the Christian life. Whether you are a brainiac or just a regular person, everyone has to rely on God to live for Him. Walk in the Spirit!
Loving this series!!! ❤ Thank you, John!
You're a great man, thanks for your message and music :D
@CooperStuff Appreciate all you do! Press on! You probably allready know of it but “Valley of Vision” is an awesome devo, just sharing, thanks man!
Packs a punch! Thank you.
I’ve have watched this video three or four times and it’s always a help.
Really great analogy with the Dr Pepper!
“HELLO….HELLO” -John Cooper-
Ignoring the ‘old man’ is what’s hard
Hey John !!
Hey John! I’ve been thinking about the simplicity of Christ recently, too. Life gets so complicated with busyness, sickness, and the constant grind. But returning to Scripture is so refreshing (“be strong in the Lord and in the strength of HIS might”). He’s got me covered in everything, I just have to keep focused on Him. Thank you for being a godly Christian leader that young guys like myself can look to as we follow Christ. God bless you and your family, John!
Well this one just kicked me in the teeth.... awesome message John!
Your interview with UNASHAMED was great! Bet you’ve never had an interview like the one with Phil Robertson! 😂😂😂😂
Spot on
Saw you guys in winnipeg on Monday amazing!
Good episode!
John, one of the biggest declines in American churches is the neglect of personal Bible reading. Bible reading, not intense bible study, a time set aside daily to hear from God through bible reading, prayer, and meditation. Western civilization is so spoon fed with pastors, pod casts, and UA-cam. Its time to make it simple by reading the bible and allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us in all Truth.
I love listening to podcasts. BTW, but my beliefs must be my beliefs based on God's Words not man's.
God bless you
@2:29 "I'm no theologian."
Technically, every Christian is a theologian because they should be studying God and His Word. But we are are all not professional theologians, i.e. we don't all have Bible degrees.
Hey John! I really love these episodes, but haven’t seen any in a while. Is Sword & Shield coming back soon?
Cannot stop drinking Dr. Pepper. Sorry John.
You should check out sow and tether
I make the best cookies 😉IN THE WORLD I’ll send you the recipe , which I’ve never given, to ANYONE. Toni from the radar place
i would love to get all these episodes on spotify or tidal. i would love to take this to work with me. Thou shalt not covet is the one i have a hard time with. Wishing for a better life and wishing I had more than i have. I easily forget what i have currently is all that matters at the end.
Hey man, is the new book going to come out on Audible?
Were you in Huntsville when you recorded this one :) ?
Systematic theology and the like, really ruined the simplicity and beauty of the true and living Jesus Christ and the living Gospel. This is why the world outside of the American reformed church, is thriving so much.
The time has come and already is, that the true worshippers, must take the Bible, and just keep reading it, crying out to the Holy Spirit, for wisdom and understanding.
Do you know theology means the study of God.
@@Preach348 and yet, the most times it is spoken of primarily is where the least amount of the power of God is manifest. The countries outside of the west, where they resemble the book of acts the most, have very little, if any reliance on knowing theology, doctrine, this or that scholar or theologian, etc. The implosion of Islam, by the power of God, has nothing to do with idolizing John MacArthur and the doctrines of grace
@@dominiclapinta8537 you are one of those christian who don't care about sound doctrine or how to righly interpret scriptures passage in it context.
@@dominiclapinta8537 one more thing, there maybe christians who live in other countries who are facing physical persecution, the Lord would reward those who suffer for his name. I am going to assume you live in the west, it doesn't give us an excuse to be ignorant towards the scriptures.
@@Preach348 I care about original intent. I have seen too much changing of original intent, in the name of exegesis, etc. I know perfectly well what theology, etc, means. But I see the greatest examples of God's manifesting power, in the places where there is no arguing over which Bible translation is "closer to the original manuscripts", etc. When theology, etc, is done rightly, then great. But often times, people do things wrong, but because a popular theologian or scholar says his interpretation is right, people in the west more, go along with it. The same goes for music like "even if by mercyme". Bad theology, but because it is the kind of song it is, and says the words "it is well", then so many go along with it.
