David Wilkerson preaches that man's darkest hour is God's hour of greatest power, and a great harvest of souls is coming. This sermon encourages believers that God waits until humanity reaches the end of its resources before manifesting his miraculous power. Wilkerson uses biblical examples to show how God consistently works in times of complete hopelessness, and he expresses conviction that despite current darkness, a significant ingathering of lost souls is approaching.

Main Ideas:

• God's power manifests when human resources are exhausted, as seen in Jesus turning water to wine when the wedding ran out

• Biblical examples throughout Scripture show God delivering his people at their darkest moments, including Gideon, Deborah, and Jehoshaphat

• Believers should continue praying faithfully even when they see no evidence of answered prayer, trusting God knows the perfect timing

• A spirit of prayer is spreading across the church, preparing the way for God's coming work

• This generation has run out of the world's empty pleasures and is ready for the true joy only God can provide

• No matter how dark times become, the church must continue its mission because the best wine has been saved for last

Pastor Wilkerson addresses the widespread complaint of believers unable to find a biblically sound church, arguing that they're searching in the wrong place—the right church begins in your own home through personal prayer and ministry to God.

Main Points:

• The search starts on your knees - Finding the right church begins in private prayer, not by visiting different buildings or revivals

• God's covenant promise - Drawing from Jeremiah 33, God promises to always maintain a holy priesthood and restore his church, even when it appears in ruins

• All believers are priests - Every Christian washed in Christ's blood is part of a "royal priesthood," not just ordained clergy

• Two types of ministries - The Abiathar priesthood (ministers to people's idolatrous desires) versus the Zadok priesthood (ministers to God first)

• Church begins at home - Before seeking a church building, establish daily family altar, personal prayer time, and worship in your household

• Ministry to God, not just programs - True church is about ministering to the Lord, not just having needs met through church programs and activities

• God will lead the faithful - Those who establish prayer and worship at home will be led by God to find other like-minded believers

Pastor David Wilkerson addresses the universal human need that cannot be met through wealth, relationships, or worldly pleasures. He shares stories of successful people living empty lives and drug addicts seeking relief, emphasizing that everyone has deep spiritual needs that only Jesus can fulfill.

Main Points:

• Recognize the spiritual nature of your need - No doctor, friend, or physical solution can meet the deep inner emptiness; it requires spiritual intervention

• Don't just hear the truth, but do it - It's not enough to know about Jesus or hear sermons; you must actively walk in obedience to his teachings

• Jesus is praying for you right now - As the gospel is preached, Jesus intercedes for listeners, giving them the opportunity to respond to his love

• Make a complete commitment - True transformation requires breaking with worldly influences and friends who drag you down, not just saying a prayer

The sermon concludes with an altar call, urging people to make a genuine, life-changing commitment to follow Jesus completely rather than continuing to seek fulfillment in temporary worldly pleasures.

A prophetic warning that America faces divine judgment for hardening its heart against God, just like ancient Jerusalem did in Isaiah 22.

Main Points:

• God's Unchanging Pattern - Divine judgment follows the same principles throughout history for nations that reject him

• Jerusalem's Unforgivable Sin - In Isaiah 22, people partied while under siege and plague, hardening their hearts against God's obvious judgment

• America's Parallel - Like Jerusalem, America entertains itself amid moral decay while ignoring divine warnings

• False Security - After the Gulf War, America trusted military might instead of God, repeating Jerusalem's mistake

• No National Revival - Only a faithful remnant will experience revival, not the whole nation

• Coming Judgment - Prophecy of hydrogen bomb attacks from Russia targeting American cities

• Hope for Believers - The faithful should rejoice and "look up" as these signs indicate Christ's return draws near

David Wilkerson preaches that God seeks people who will trust him completely through all trials, moving beyond doubt into unwavering faith.

Main Points:

• Throughout biblical history, from Israel in the wilderness to Jesus's disciples, people repeatedly doubted God despite witnessing incredible miracles

• The Israelites saw the Red Sea part and manna from heaven, yet still feared and complained in every crisis

• Jesus's disciples watched him feed thousands and raise the dead, but still doubted when facing new challenges

• Modern Christians struggle with the same pattern of doubt during financial troubles, sickness, family problems, and unanswered prayers

• God calls believers to lay down fears and anxieties, fully committing their lives to his keeping power and resting in his promises rather than living in constant worry

Pastor David Wilkerson preached a sobering message on how indifference toward God’s house and purposes leads to spiritual drought, empty striving, and a loss of zeal. He called believers to return to their first love, warning that when we place our own interests above the Lord’s, we “earn wages to put into bags with holes.” Yet he reminded us that God, in love, still pleads with His people, promising blessing when we put Him first again.

Main Points:

• The danger of indifference – God will not take second place; apathy toward His house leads to emptiness and loss.

• Bags with holes – When God is not first, money, success, and labor slip away without satisfaction.

• A call to return – True revival begins when we consider our ways and place Christ and His work first.

• God’s love still calls – Even in discipline, the Lord says, “I am with you,” stirring His people to rebuild.

Gary Wilkerson teaches that God's miraculous power is accessed through weakness and dependence, not human strength, sharing stories of revival and ministry breakthroughs.

Main Points:

• Jesus moves in power - Born, ministered, and demonstrated God's authority through healing and miracles

• Jesus empowers his church - Believers receive the same Holy Spirit power for signs, wonders, and authority over demons

• Power flows through weakness - God's strength is made perfect in our weakness and dependency on him

Key Examples:

• Asbury University revival lasting 16 days after students sought God in weakness

• World Challenge rescuing orphans in Afghanistan and families from slavery in Pakistan

• Cuban Methodist church growing from 15 to thousands after teenagers pursued Acts-style power

The sermon concludes with an altar call for God's power in personal needs and through believers as vessels.

Christians are pilgrims "just passing through" this world, not permanent residents.

Key Points:

•Divine Dissatisfaction - God places a holy restlessness in believers' hearts that cannot be satisfied by earthly things, pointing them toward their true home in heaven

•God's Refining Purpose - Trials, afflictions, and unexplained battles often come from God to prevent believers from becoming too rooted in this world, similar to how he increased Israel's suffering in Egypt before the Exodus

•Pilgrims and Strangers - Following Abraham's example, Christians should confess they are temporary residents seeking a heavenly country, not citizens of this earth

•Abstaining from Fleshly Lusts - True pilgrims must deal with hidden sins (pornography, addiction, unforgiveness, etc.) that anchor them to this world and hinder spiritual freedom

•Readiness for Christ's Return - The sermon urgently warns that Jesus could return at any moment, and believers must be spiritually prepared, not bound by unrepented sin

•Holy Ghost Empowerment - Victory over sin comes not through human willpower but by surrendering to God's power and allowing the Holy Spirit to create hatred for sin
