Your Greatest Weapon Against Temptation

Sermon Clip on the Power of the Spirit

Audio Transcript

Piper: “You regularly need to rehearse the fact that God himself lives in you. It will change everything.”

It will make a big difference in your own life if you come to terms with — go deep with — the fact that a person, the sovereign, almighty God, the Spirit lives in you. You really need to rehearse that regularly during the day.

It won’t just keep you from pornography, like he’s slapping your hand on the mouse. It will just blow you away! It will just cause you to be absolutely amazed that you are a walking tabernacle of God, the person of the Holy Spirit!

You need to linger on that truth not for little puny things like, he’s going to keep you from watching pornography. He’s going to change everything! How can it not be? He’s God, and he’s living in you. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity (1 Corinthians 6:19).
