Rev. David Wilkerson: May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011

April 28, 2011 in Editorials, Encouragement, Events, site news

Sometimes we as Christians get caught up in this worlds affairs, and the things that main stream church tells us, and we tell ourselves is important. The reality is though that only one thing matters. That is, do you know God, and His Son Jesus Christ whom He has sent. I had never even heard of the name David Wilkerson until a few months ago, when I came across some of his sermons on YouTube. I found out that he was the author of a book called, “The Cross and The Switch Blade” and that he had founded Times Square Church in the middle of New York City. The Lord has used the words that he spoke through His servant David Wilkerson, to greatly impact our lives beyond which words can really express. The man’s life and testimony are a living example of the powerful and matchless grace of Almighty God. Read the rest of this entry →

God’s Providence through Wasted Years

Absolute Surrender: The Story of Jacob’s/My Life Part 2.

Genesis 29:35

She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah.

Introduction:

It is a great mystery, but a truth none the less, the doctrine of the providential working of God in the lives of His children. We believe and the bible teaches, summed up in Roman 8:28, that God causes all things to work together for the good of them that love God, and those who are the called according to His purpose. Because of our own self righteous attitude, we would at times want to interpret that verse to mean all things except personal failures, shortcomings and weaknesses. We declare in our own understanding that God can work providentially over here where if there are any negatives, they are all external. But over here, where the negatives are internal or personal, God’s providence is not active. Might I suggest that the “all” in Roman’s 8:28 means just that “all”. God is in full control of all things, and is not limited but more than able to work His purposes in all the circumstances of His child. Including the failings, shortcomings and weaknesses of His child. Read the rest of this entry →

If I Perish, I Perish.

Esther 4:16

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

Introduction:

The Word of the Lord is so inexhaustible, that I am continually amazed as to the number of times you can look at a particular portion of the Scriptures, and be blessed by another aspect of God’s truth that you did not see before. God in His mercy, opens your spiritual eyes as it were, to allow you to see something to which hitherto you were blind. This was my experience recently, and I hope to share it with those who hear this message. Read the rest of this entry →
