Just what I needed today, thank you Jesus! Praise your Holy name and bless you Pastor John for your obedience and love for our wonderful, merciful Saviour.
- There's a distinction between good and bad people-pleasing. - People-pleasing can lead to unhealthy neediness and control. - Paul and Jesus emphasized not being controlled by others' opinions. - Pleasing others for good and building them up is different from seeking self-protection. - Steps to overcome people-pleasing involve focusing on God's greatness, securing identity in Him, and valuing heavenly rewards over human approval.
Praise God for making us seek Him by searching out the deeper meaning of scriptures, binding myself, but also my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ to only please people to build them up according to the word and in the worth of God while binding to hell every lack of pleasing people solely for building one up according to the word and in the worth of God, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone lacking to please people only to build one up according to the word and in the worth of God, in accordance with this word and galatians 1:10, 2 thessalonians 2:4, mark 12:14, romans 15:2, 1 corinthians 10:32, 1 corinthians 3:21, matthew 5:11, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!
Everything stems from looking to Jesus , keeping your eyes only on Jesus.. if one has mastered this , the gates of heaven are widely open for them. God help us
Jesus said to fear not because we are worth more than many sparrows, let me explain how forever punishment is not biblical, to the original language of the New Testament, (Koine Greek) in 1 Timothy 4:10 savior of “all people” and (especially) of those who believe, everyone lives forever not just the Christian’s, the word Aionon and it’s variations mean Age for punishment not forever, The iron smelting furnace He called the slavery in Egypt, the lake of fire is not literal, Jesus speaks of a prison and says, you won’t get out “until” you have paid the last penny, God is love, always, His punishments are always rooted in His nature of love and goodness, they serve justice and then He restores, as He said He will do to sodom in Ezekiel, about the worm will never die where people say is a place where they are forever tortured, Isaiah said it’s about corpses, (gehenna) never should have been translated “hell” earth judgement in the valley of hinnom, they sleep in hades, this idea of God torturing people in fire would never please Him, He would never let it happen, He doesn’t even find pleasure in the death alone of the wicked, when He lets destruction happen He is thinking about that beings forever, if He purges out the evil and then restores them, His ways are higher than ours, no amount of evil inside of His creation, could ever change who God is, He will always be the same loving being and things don’t get to Him the way they do to us, the word that is used to show them on the outside of the Kingdom (After) the lake of fire, the word is “Exo” used 63 times in the New Testament, never once for dead, always “Outside” God is love, never let that leave your sight, to understand Him, only Jesus can get us there, His death saved every single being from death, we need to repent still from sins, the righteous will be rewarded greater, He hates dishonest scales, God loves everyone, but those in Christ do not come into judgement, and inherit the Kingdom if they are worthy, the others will be individually judged, all different beings, not a one size fits all punishment, including satan and every different human, it’s unjust Universal Reconciliation is the truth.
Yep, I reported it. Ridiculousness. No different than the fake accounts that try and get ppl to donate to "orphanages in Africa"... like let me guess, you're a Nigerian prince just trying to do a good deed right...smh.
Up at 3am to say Good Morning to my Loving YHWH & sing my Good Morning TO YOU song from boarding school in El Paso, Texas in the early 1950s; the loving Sisters represented the love of Christ Beautifully.....
The course of my life is not dictated by pleasing any human being. The ONLY man I ever get down on my knees out of respect for is the Lord's Son my Savior Jesus Christ; He is the only man to walk this Earth that I aim to please. God put it in my heart to be the master of my own fate and He gave me the tools to do it through His prophets. If I follow those instructions that God laid out before my eyes and imprinted on my heart and it displeases another human then that's tough luck for them because they would have to kill me before I'd bend to the will of another man. There shall be no compromise when it comes to this.
@Dannydolan88 These are true verses Yet they direct us to serve others out of our love for Christ first and foremost not to attain the validation or approval of others We must have wisdom and discernment You are not to give your time and talents to all who come your way Do not throw your pearls to swine and dogs Loving others does not mean doing things for them that they are able to do themselves- otherwise you are enabling and harming rather than helping and serving Do all things by His Spirit and remember, we are to be pleasers of God, not pleasers of men- this includes ourselves
Over 100 languages in the world and John Piper decided to speak straight facts.

I love when Pastor John gives those deep growls. Father, make our identities in Christ firm and unshakable.
Amen

We must have wisdom and discernment
You are not to give your time and talents to all who come your way
Do not throw your pearls to swine and dogs
Loving others does not mean doing things for them that they are able to do themselves- otherwise you are enabling and harming rather than helping and serving
Do all things by His Spirit and remember, we are to be pleasers of God, not pleasers of men- this includes ourselves
