  1. "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for the murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idotlaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfer, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8

    For all those who live with sin will be punish for all eternal, but for all those who live life with Christ with love shall not perish but have eternal life.

    God sent his one and only beloved to come and take the punishment for our iniquity and to save the sin of the world so that no one have to take the punishment.
    We must all turn back to our heavenly father and confess and repent our sins so we can have eternal life with him in heaven.
    "Do not fear of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

  2. I find it interesting that in this video Piper says, concerning iphones, “we not let our iphones rob us of any of the joy, the fullness of satisfaction that we might have in Christ.” And yet in other videos Piper states that God determines all that happens. Piper says, “God sovereignly directs all or our daily life down to the tying of our shoe laces and the brushing of your teeth.” So I suppose it is up to God whether or not we let our Iphones rob us of any joy or satisfaction in Christ.

  3. Great timely video for me. I started reading my hardback bible. (Although I am still reading you version for the story first thing in the morning). The social media/facebook world is too much information all at once. Our brains can't get rest: spiritual and physiological is being wearied. Jesus said, "come to me and I will give you rest".

  4. TV, phones, Internet, tablets, It's all programming to hypnotise you to the mainstream corrupt narrative of fear, and control away,.to distract you from the truth of the corruption and spending time with the lord

  5. John 3: 1-7
    1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
    2 The same came to Jesus by night and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
    3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
    4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
    5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
    6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
    7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

    Romans 8:1-13
    1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit .
    2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
    3 For what they law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
    4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
    5 For they that are the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
    6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
    7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
    8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
    9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
    10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit of life because of righteousness.
    11 But of the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
    12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
    13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

    Matthew 7:13-14
    13 Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
    14 Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    Matthew 12: 36-37
    36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
    37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

    James Chapter 3:5-12
    5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a manner a little fire kindleth!
    6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it deflieth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on the fire of hell.
    7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
    8 But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
    9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
    10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
    11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
    12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

    Matthew 6:19-24
    19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
    20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
    21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
    22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
    23 But of thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
    24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

  6. Theres a truth in this vid..but for me i just notice that besides the entertainment in yt, my knowledge and wisdom about God of the scripture started to increased from a lot of sermons that I discovered and watched until now here in yt specially when i found some of the very inspiring and very encouraging preachers like spurgeon puritans paul washer etc.although im always scrolling for some interesting video here but at the same time i am growing as a believer because of these preachers and btw google is much easier for me as well by searching for some particular bible verses based on my experience so far.

  7. From personal experience, the best way to check yourself and improve your habits is to not look at a screen (phone, tablet, TV etc) for the first hour after you wake up: this sets up your mindset for the whole day, so it needs to be followed every day. I use that first hour for exercise and reading.

  8. One way our phone is changing our lives is now we have access to library’s are all over the world .like the one that has all of the records in Geneva ,about how John Calvin murdered 100+ people because they didn’t agree with him .I wonder if Jesus would have after finding the woman caught in the act of adultery would’ve said Yep she did it stoner .all that’s right the Spirit of God is the same yesterday today and forever .I want to which Spirit took over John Calvin‘s life and apparently took over his brain ? but of course nothing he wrote was inspired none of it is in the Bible we should judge people by their fruit in their life murder is a fruit of sorts .you probably never read about these things. But you should. He was a priest at one time that wrote to the church to tattle on people that didn’t agree with him but he would be in the crowd giving them the big thumbs down to be burned at the stake or stone or whatever I’ve actually heard some people try to defend this by saying it was a different time really. So the guy that’s telling me it’s by faith and not by works of the old testament judges all of these New Testament believers and punishes them by the law hypocrisy on parade that’s what I Call it.

  9. GOD BLESS YOU BOTHER IN CHRIST ALMIGHTY….AMEN.
    I LOVE HEARING THE WORDS OF GOD AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO POST THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!.

  10. My sister in Virginia and I, in Arizona were both compelled to delete our Bible app at two different times. We started to confess to one another and found us affirming His word. We are back to the physical Bible.

  11. Trying reading your physical Bible in Syria and see what happens…People are using there phones while using the bible and are giving their lives to God! The western church needs to go through true persecution.

  12. Just get rid of the term “Christian Hedonism” ..don’t take a word (hedonism) that is selfish and evil and apply it to God. You’re not called to coin new phrases, you’re called to preach Jesus Christ.

  13. The truth in spirit flows eternally forward the body lies to the spirit and it flows eternally reverse/revere from truth, those who are stuck in the material plain will live Revelation and those who follow after the spirit find truth, what Jesus did was healed the spirit and the body. Those who seek the end in Revelations will find it and those who seek the truth in the beginning will find the veil leaving their eyes. Judgement comes to only those who judge, you have your will of creation upon all creation so judge not less ye be, judged yourself. All is forgiven, death/darkness took possession of all word, it is only his fault. Everything I've learned, I have learned on my own. I have never read the Bible till after I had my dreams with Jesus, he himself explained things to me. I explained everything in my book. Everyone has all word of creation upon them, each word has their own cell of aura, it is a firmament as this Galactic cell is the body of Christ, it has an aura and you are a word of creation within the body of Christ, you live the body of Christ and he has already died for your sins, that has enabled him as The Lord of Hosts. Within the handshake of all things, Jesus was the Body, he lived the experience of the spirit of the most high and the will of the father is the will within the body of Christ he gets to live the body of Christ with no powers, only faith, he will only present himself by the word and he stands firm with all the word. Genesis, Moses is not leading us into the book of word he is leading us out, back to the beginning. (Example) God placed a firmament between all the word and us as word have been placed within a six feet firmament caused by the corona-tion/crown lasted a year. Next is the (word was God) goes on all this year. Next year the word will start understanding these things and it will be, the (word was with God.) Next year after the word will have their full understanding of these things and God will be one with (the Word) as they are the bride to the body of Messiah, then Jesus by will, have ascended to the father, Jesus is proof that even death will experience life. (Bible says, God comes by the truth of your heart is your crown)means/corona, it is also your body and your Galactic cell upon Omega. We are the word of God and our actions are the signs of word, welcome to the corona/tion. Each sentence in the Bible is a sentence from order and each sentence is a year sentence as (1 in the beginning was the word) and (2 the word was with God) and (3 the word was God) (4 and the corona/crown has placed us as word six feet of firmament from each other.) Truth of word flows eternally forward as the distortion of truth is number, numb/cold power numb/ber. The multitudes are being taken back from death/darkness as legion is many, took everything from all the word. The light in the darkness is this grain of earth within this universal body and it is protecting all of life as you have a Galactic cell out there and this Galactic cell we are in right now is the body of Christ, you live the body of Christ within Omega as you have all word/will of creation upon you, within each cell is a throne, for all word of creation, you have your will/word of creation upon equal me/a/sure, you are a universal body, when this is over you will be shown all your action and consequence upon your Galactic realm and when trust is earnt you will claim your universal body again, within this multiverse. (universe/unity of verse/unity of word. I wrote a book it is all over the world, the book is called, The last shall be the first and the first shall be the last by Joseph Darrell Walker. If you know the Bible then you will know everything. Voices in head are not mental, think positive and legion as he is many will leave. Genesis/Moses isn't leading us into the darkness, he is walking us out of it, so read 4,3,2,1, and it will make better sense. All things fall, back to GOD, Isaiah 11;12. The more you wake people up, by that measure has woke up unto you so speak truth to the fullest and you will find faith walking within you.
