A word from David Wilkerson

I LOOK AT THE WHOLE RELIGIOUS SCENE TODAY AND ALL I SEE ARE INVENTIONS AND MINISTRIES OF MAN AND FLESH. IT'S MOSTLY POWERLESS, IT HAS NO IMPACT ON THE WORLD. AND I SEE MORE OF THE WORLD COMING INTO THE CHURCH AND IMPACTING THE CHURCH RATHER THAN THE CHURCH IMPACTING THE WORLD.

I SEE THE MUSIC TAKING OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD. I SEE ENTERTAINMENT TAKING OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD. OBSESSION WITH ENTERTAINMENT IN GOD'S HOUSE.

A HATRED OF CORRECTION AND A HATRED OF REPROOF, NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT ANYMORE. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ANGUISH IN THE HOUSE OF GOD? WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ANGUISH IN THE MINISTRY? IT'S A WORD YOU DON'T HEAR IN THIS PAMPERED AGE. YOU DON'T HEAR IT.

ANGUISH MEANS EXTREME PAIN AND DISTRESS. THE EMOTIONS SO STIRRED THAT IT BECOMES PAINFUL. ACUTE DEEPLY FELT INNER PAIN BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS ABOUT YOU, IN YOU, OR AROUND YOU. ANGUISH. DEEP PAIN. DEEP SORROW. AGONY OF GOD'S HEART.

WE'VE HELD ON TO OUR RELIGIOUS RHETORIC AND OUR REVIVAL TALK, BUT WE'VE BECOME SO PASSIVE. ALL TRUE PASSION IS BORN OUT OF ANGUISH. ALL TRUE PASSION FOR CHRIST COMES OUT OF A BAPTISIM OF ANGUISH. YOU SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE, AND YOU'LL FIND THAT WHEN GOD DETERMINED TO RECOVER A RUINED SITUATION....HE WOULD SHARE HIS OWN ANGUISH FOR WHAT GOD SAW HAPPENING TO HIS CHURCH AND TO HIS PEOPLE.

AND HE WOULD FIND A PRAYING MAN AND HE WOULD TAKE THAT MAN AND LITERALLY BAPTIZE HIM IN ANGUISH. YOU FIND IT IN THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH.

JERUSALEM IS IN RUINS. HOW IS GOD GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS? HOW IS GOD GOING TO RESTORE THE RUIN? FOLKS, LOOK AT ME....NEHEMIAH WAS NOT A PREACHER, HE WAS A CAREER MAN. THIS WAS A PRAYING MAN. GOD FOUND A MAN WHO WOULD NOT JUST HAVE A FLASH OF EMOTION. NOT JUST SOME GREAT SUDDEN BURST OF CONCERN AND THEN LET IT DIE. HE SAID "NO. I BROKE DOWN AND WEPT AND I MORNED AND I FASTED. THEN I BEGIN TO PRAY NIGHT AND DAY."

WHY DIDN'T THESE OTHER MEN, WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE AN ANSWER? WHY DIDN'T GOD USE THEM IN RESTORATION? WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE A WORD?

BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANGUISH! NO WEEPING! NOT A WORD OF PRAYER! IT'S ALL RUIN! DOES IT MATTER TO YOU TODAY....DOES IT MATTER TO YOU AT ALL THAT GOD'S SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM, THE CHURCH, IS NOW MARRIED TO THE WORLD? THAT THERE IS SUCH A COLDNESS SWEEPING THE LAND? CLOSER THAN THAT....DOES IT MATTER ABOUT THE JERUSALEM THAT IS IN OUR OWN HEARTS?

THE SIGN OF RUIN THAT IS SLOWLY DRAINING SPIRITUAL POWER AND PASSION. BLIND TO LUKE WARMNESS, BLIND TO THE MIXTURE THAT IS CREEPING IN. THAT'S ALL THE DEVIL WANTS TO DO IS GET THE FIGHT OUT OF YOU. AND KILL IT. SO YOU WON'T LABOR IN PRAYER ANYMORE. YOU WON'T WEEP BEFORE GOD ANYMORE. YOU CAN SIT AND WATCH TELEVISION AND YOUR FAMILY GO TO HELL.

LET ME ASK YOU. IS WHAT I JUST SAID CONVICTED YOU AT ALL? THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANGUISH AND CONCERN. CONCERN IS SOMETHING THAT BEGINS TO INTEREST YOU, YOU TAKE AN INTEREST IN A PROJECT OR A CAUSE OR A CONCERN OR A NEED. I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING I'VE LEARNED OVER ALL MY YEARS, OF 50 YEARS OF PREACHING....IF IT IS NOT BORN IN ANGUISH, IF IT HAD NOT BEEN BORN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHERE WHAT YOU SAY AND HEARD OF THE RUIN THAT DROVE YOU TO YOUR KNEES, TOOK YOU DOWN INTO A BAPTISIM OF ANGUISH WHERE YOU BEGAN TO PRAY AND SEEK GOD. I KNOW NOW, OH MY GOD DO I KNOW IT, UNTIL I AM IN AGONY, UNTIL I HAVE BEEN ANGUISHED OVER IT, AND ALL OUR PROJECTS, ALL OUR MINISTRIES, EVERYTHING WE DO....WHERE ARE THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS THAT WEEP OVER KIDS THEY KNOW ARE NOT HEARING AND GOING TO HELL?

YOU SEE, A TRUE PRAYER LIFE BEGINS AT THE PLACE OF ANGUISH. YOU SEE, IF YOU SET YOUR HEART TO PRAY, GOD'S GOING TO COME AND START SHARING HIS HEART WITH YOU. YOUR HEART BEGINS TO CRY OUT- OH GOD YOUR NAME IS BEING BLASPHEMED. HOLY SPIRIT IS BEING MOCKED. THE ENEMY IS OUT TRYING TO DESTROY THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD'S FAITHFULNESS, AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. THERE IS GOING TO BE NO RENEWAL, NO REVIVAL, NO AWAKENING UNTIL WE ARE WILLING TO LET HIM ONCE AGAIN BREAK US. FOLKS, IT'S GETTING LATE AND IT'S GETTING SERIOUS. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME, DON'T TELL ME YOUR CONCERNED....WHEN YOUR SPENDING HOURS IN FRONT OF THE INTERNET OR TELEVISION.

COME ON. LORD, THERE ARE SOME THAT NEED TO GET TO THE ALTER AND CONFESS I AM NOT WHAT I WAS, I AM NOT WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO BE. GOD I DON'T HAVE YOUR HEART OR YOUR BURDEN, I'VE WANTED IT EASY. I JUST WANTED TO BE HAPPY.

BUT LORD, TRUE JOY COMES, TRUE JOY COMES OUT OF ANGUISH. THERE IS NOTHING OF THE FLESH WILL GIVE YOU JOY. I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY, I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND OF NEW HOUSE, THERE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PHYSICAL THAT CAN GIVE YOU JOY. IT IS ONLY WHAT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU OBEY HIM AND TAKE ON HIS HEART. BUILD THE WALLS AROUND YOUR FAMILY. BUILD THE WALLS AROUND YOUR OWN HEART. MAKE YOU STRONG AND IMPREGNABLE AGAINST THE ENEMY. GOD, THAT'S WHAT WE DESIRE.

Change

Because we are coming into a new season we must change.

Over the last year or so , I have said multiple times that we need to prepare spiritually for the battle ahead. Now, I will go further.

We are coming into a new season. This season will be full of contradictions. You will see miracles from God and then you will see evil from hell. You will see, as I am sure you already have, the good in people wither away into consumption of evil.

God will and is doing new things and if His people will respond to this new thing they will see His glory. He does these new things because we are a new people. Different from our past generations. More skeptical. More resolute to the negative. More leaning toward the state of mind "show me" rather than a faith state of mind. So, He will bring a new thing into this new season.

The Lord is hovering over cities and people. He is hovering to bring a new birth. Just as He hovered over Mary and a child was born, He is again hovering and birthing. But, do we see the followers of this day running to see this new birth or are they cuddled in their warm homes, complacent and content with the status quo.

Being prepared spiritually means being ready to get out of our box. To be able to except a new thing from God, and to do this we must change.

We must look into our selves and look for those things in us that God finds repulsive. Not those things that we see ourselves doing every day, although, they also, need to be taken care of, but look deep. There are roots, generational roots, that need to be taken care of.

The old saying, something about a bad apple spoiling the whole bunch. This is true of our root. A bad root can and will ruin the rest of our growth. So, we either take care of that root by getting rid of it or and this is what we see most people doing, we just take care of the rest of the growth trying to stay ahead of the rot catching up we us.

Best to cut out that piece that leads us into hell. Then instead of us taking care to not let the rot catch us, we can relax and let God nourish our growth.

God sees that root and wants us to fix the problem. We ignore the root and will suffer the consequence.

When this new things comes and the glory of God is within this new thing, will you be able to enjoy or will you feel dirty and unworthy. Do. you have a root that needs to be taken care of. Then , dear reader, go into your prayer closet and turn it into an operating room. Give God the scalpel and let Him cut that thing out of you. Then you will enjoy the new thing and know that God is doing this new thing, just for you.
