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

Pastor Gary Wilkerson explores spiritual resurrection using Jesus' tomb and Lazarus' story, sharing his son's transformation from addiction as a personal example.

Main Ideas:

• The Stone is Gone Forever - The barriers keeping us spiritually dead have been permanently removed, not just moved

• Two-Part Process - Salvation brings instant resurrection, but there's ongoing work to be "unbound" from old patterns

• Community is Essential - Like Lazarus needed others to unwrap his grave clothes, we need Christian community to help free us

• Welcoming Correction - True freedom comes when we stop resisting feedback and welcome others to speak truth into our lives

• Jesus Ruins Funerals - Christ brings life where there was death, transforming hopeless situations into testimonies

The sermon emphasizes that while spiritual resurrection is complete, becoming fully free requires humility, community, and ongoing surrender to God's process.

Pastor David Wilkerson warns about the spiritual dangers of allowing disappointments to turn into anguish and unbelief. Using Moses and the Israelites as his example, he shows how our response to life's inevitable disappointments determines whether we experience God's deliverance or spiritual wilderness.

Main Ideas:

The Reality of Disappointment: Everyone faces overwhelming disappointments in marriage, work, family, health, or spiritual life

Two Critical Choices: When disappointed, we can either give up in despair or trust God completely

The Danger of Unbelief: Prolonged anguish leads to spiritual deafness, where we stop hearing God's promises

God's Faithful Response: God doesn't rebuke honest questions during struggles

The Cost of Refusing Faith: The Israelites wasted 38 years in the wilderness because they wouldn't believe

The Call to Trust: God's almighty power is available through his indwelling Spirit

Pastor Gary Wilkerson delivers a powerful message about the difference between destructive fear and healthy fear that propels us toward God's calling. Using personal stories and biblical examples, he demonstrates how fear can actually indicate something valuable is at stake and encourages believers to step out in faith despite their anxieties.

Main Points:

• Fear isn't always negative - healthy fear can guide us toward safety and important opportunities

• Biblical heroes like David and Nehemiah experienced fear but didn't let it stop them from fulfilling God's purposes

• Fear often signals that we're about to do something significant and valuable in God's kingdom

• The people who avoid fear are often those who never attempt anything extraordinary for God

• Fear becomes sinful only when it prevents us from doing what God has called us to do

We should pursue God-sized dreams that require faith - not just doubling our efforts, but believing for a 30, 60, or 100-fold increase

God can deliver us from all our fears when we step out in faith and trust him for the supernatural

Pastor David Wilkerson addresses Christians who have fallen into sin or struggle with ongoing wounds and discouragement. He emphasizes that God never abandons his children, even when they fail, and that Satan's greatest lie is convincing believers they cannot return to God or that they're beyond redemption.

Main Ideas

• God never gives up on fallen believers - No matter how low someone has sunk or what they've done, God does not turn his children over to Satan's power

• Satan's strategy is deception, not ownership - The devil knows he cannot truly possess God's children, so he uses lies to keep them in bondage and tries to destroy them before they return

• Consequences exist but don't disqualify restoration - Using David's example from Psalm 38, Wilkerson shows that sin has painful consequences, but these don't prevent God's forgiveness and healing

• The lie that keeps people bound - Satan's primary weapon is convincing fallen Christians that God is angry with them and doesn't want them back

• Return requires taking responsibility - True restoration comes through godly sorrow, confessing sin without blaming others, and stepping out in faith rather than remaining in victim mentality
