Quote

Jesus didn't save you so you could cruise to heaven in a luxury liner. He wants you to be useful in His kingdom! The moment you got saved, He enrolled you in His school the school of suffering and affliction.

Biblical hope is not wishful thinking or an optimistic outlook rather, it is a confident expectation based on the certainty of God's Word that as He has anchored us in the past, so He will in the future.
David Wilkerson

Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer.

How can you know when you are trusting in man rather than in God? If you fall apart when someone else lets you down, or if the actions of others affect your walk with God, then you know you are leaning on the arm of flesh!
David Wilkerson
Image
True freedom from fear consists of totally resigning one's life into the hands of the Lord.

I have no ghost writers. I personally write every message and every piece of published mail.

Anything that effects our decisions besides that of the Glory of God and His Will Alone is an idol. Why are people so free to do as they please and make decisions off of pleasures, feelings or emotion? It is because they have not been taken captive by the Lord Jesus Christ and He alone does not rule in that life, there are rivals on the throne.

A humble person is not one who thinks little of himself, hangs his head and says, I'm nothing. Rather, he is one who depends wholly on the Lord for everything, in every circumstance.
David Wilkerson
Image
I'm not about to put up a silly skit and preach a 15-minute message on 'how to cope' to a multitude of people who are dying and going to hell. I tremble at the thought.
David Wilkerson
Image
'To die is gain!' That kind of talk is absolutely foreign to our modern, spiritual vocabularies. We have become such life worshippers, we have very little desire to depart to be with the Lord.
David Wilkerson
Image
We humans can work hard for each other, and we should and we must work. But it is God, and only God, who heals.
David Wilkerson
Image
Are you becoming more sweet-spirited, more like Jesus? Are you looking soberly in the mirror each day and praying, ‘Lord, I want to conform to Your image in every area of my life’? Or has your bitterness taken root, turning into rebellion and hardness of heart? Have you learned to shield yourself from the convicting voice of God’s Spirit?

I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry, but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.

Drugs, what a devil-inspired poison! It’s death on the installment plan.

If you are experiencing confusion, pain, and suffering, it may be that God is working things out for you in his own way. It is most often the sovereign work of our God unfolding a master plan known only to him.

Europe as a whole is increasingly jesttisoning the old path of the Christian fathers.

God does not accept weak, boring, halfhearted worship!
