David Wilkerson urges the church to confront growing spiritual darkness through unwavering unity and Christlike love, reminding believers that only a united body can truly reach the lost.

Main Points:

• Jesus commands believers to be one, so the world may believe.

• Spiritual darkness is increasing, but God’s work continues unhindered.

• The world resists Christ because it loves darkness rather than light.

• Good deeds alone won’t win the lost—the gospel must remain uncompromised.

• Christians will face hatred, even when doing good, simply for representing Christ.

• Methods cannot penetrate the darkness; only supernatural love and unity can.

• True unity requires forgiveness, restoration, and rejecting prejudice.

David Wilkerson explores the multifaceted ministry of Jesus as our High Priest, emphasizing the spiritual blessings believers receive through Christ's priestly work.

Main Points:

• Jesus is our unchangeable High Priest - He sits at the right hand of God's throne, forever interceding on our behalf

• The priesthood of Melchizedek - Unlike Aaron's lineage-based priesthood, Jesus follows the order of Melchizedek, who blessed Abraham with bread and wine

• Christ blesses us with spiritual blessings - Our High Priest raises his hand over us, bestowing heavenly blessings rather than just material ones

• Evidence of God's blessing - When we bless others, love God's Word, desire fellowship, and find our thoughts turning to Jesus throughout the day

• Jesus is our answer and reward - Instead of doubting where God is, we should recognize that Christ himself is our shield, reward, and everything we need

•Overcoming doubt through faith - Surrendering our doubts and fears to trust that Jesus keeps us, preserves us, and intercedes for us continually

This powerful message from Hebrews 2:17-18 reveals Christ's ongoing ministry of intercession for believers.

Main Ideas:

• Jesus is our High Priest in glory - Right now, Jesus stands before the Father interceding on our behalf as both fully God and fully man.

• Old Testament symbolism points to Christ - The tabernacle, Aaron's priesthood, and the altar of incense all illustrated Jesus's ministry of prayer and intercession for us.

• Jesus understands our struggles - Because he took on human nature and was tempted in every way, he sympathizes with our weaknesses and knows exactly what we're going through.

• His blood satisfies God's justice - Like the high priest sprinkling blood on the mercy seat, Jesus's blood cleanses us and makes us righteous before God.

• He constantly prays for us - Jesus mingles our prayers with his own, purifies them, and presents them to the Father, ensuring we're not walking alone in our battles.

• We have a merciful advocate - God isn't angry with us but gave his Son to intercede for us, to deliver us from darkness, and to keep us from falling.

This powerful message explores the true meaning of God's grace and how it's often misunderstood in the church today. Pastor Wilkerson emphasizes that grace is not just about forgiveness, but about receiving the power to live a victorious Christian life through Jesus Christ.

Main Points:

•Grace Defined - Grace is the undeserved, unmerited favor and blessing of God. We cannot earn salvation through our own goodness or efforts; it comes solely from God's mercy.

•The Danger of Distorted Grace - Many preach grace as a license to sin or as freedom without responsibility. Misunderstanding grace can lead to a lightness about sin and loss of conviction.

•Grace Includes Judgment - Isaiah 61 speaks not only of liberty and comfort but also of "the day of vengeance." True grace preaching must include both God's mercy and his righteous judgment of sin.

•Jesus Is the Grace - God's grace isn't just a concept, it's a person. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of grace, given to us as the source of all power, strength, forgiveness, and everything we need for godly living.

•Grace Empowers Holy Living - True grace doesn't just forgive us; it empowers us through the Holy Spirit to mortify sin, live fruitfully, and finish God's work on earth. We draw strength from Christ by abiding in him.

•Fighting Sin in God's Strength - We cannot overcome temptation in our own power. Victory comes by clinging to Jesus and allowing the Holy Spirit to give us both the hatred for sin and the power to defeat it.

David Wilkerson preaches on focusing on the concept of Christ abiding within believers, emphasizing intimate fellowship with God over religious works and activities. He reflects on Revelation 3:20, where Jesus knocks at the door of the lukewarm Laodicean church, and explores God's desire for deep, personal relationship with his people.

Main Points:

• God's need for fellowship - Throughout Scripture, God consistently seeks intimate relationship with humanity, from walking with Adam to Jesus cooking breakfast for his disciples after the resurrection

• The Laodicean problem - Jesus knocks at the door of lukewarm believers who are too busy with religious works, spiritual warfare, or pursuing gifts to maintain intimacy with him

• True abiding vs. religious activity - Moving in spiritual gifts or doing ministry work without intimate fellowship with Christ misses the entire point of Christianity

• The covenant of obedience - Making a commitment to absolute obedience opens the door for Christ to live His life through believers and speak his mind clearly to them

• Christ as friend and rewarder - The greatest reward is hearing God's voice clearly, which brings peace, joy, and direction that eliminates anxiety, fear, and depression

• The ultimate priority - If we cannot have constant, moment-by-moment communion with Christ abiding in us, directing our lives and giving us his peace, then there is nothing else in life worth living for

David Wilkerson warns against missing God's destiny for your life by examining biblical figures who started well but fell away, calling believers to fulfill their true destiny of becoming Christ-like.

• Destiny Defined: God's ordained purpose and plan for your life - what he has preordained you to be and become

• Biblical Examples of Missed Destiny:

• Saul: Chosen and anointed by God, but sought human approval over God's will. Ended his life abandoned by God, consulting a witch

• Samson: Born with divine purpose, raised as a Nazarite, but lived with outward holiness while his heart pursued sensual sin. Died in chains, blind and broken

• The Root Problem: Both men knew their calling and walked in it initially, but allowed pride, compromise, and fleshly desires to derail God's plan for their lives

• The True Destiny: Your ultimate destiny is to become like Jesus Christ - to be conformed to his image and reflect his character in your life

• The Holy Spirit's Role: The same Spirit that convicted Saul and Samson is available to lead, guide, teach, and transform believers today. We must not resist his promptings

• The Call to Action: Confess sins, surrender your heart completely to God, and commit daily to becoming more Christ-like through the Holy Spirit's power

David Wilkerson addresses why Christians face intense trials and testing, explaining God's purpose behind suffering.

Main Points:

• God is testing the righteous - Believers are experiencing unprecedented trials financially, physically, and spiritually as part of God's refining process

• Purpose of trials - God is building unshakable faith in his people to be revealed as testimonies in the last days when the world has no hope

• Faith more precious than gold - Like gold tried by fire, our faith is being purified so we can stand as witnesses to God's keeping power

• God rules the storms - He controls every trial and knows when to bring us out; nothing happens without his knowledge and permission

• Breaking the power of sin - Supernatural Holy Spirit power, not human willpower alone, is needed to defeat besetting sins and the enemy

• Warning against unbelief - Murmuring, complaining, and doubting God during trials is dangerous and can lead to spiritual destruction

• The calling to suffer - Christians are called to go through the fire, not to be destroyed, but to emerge as testimonies of God's faithfulness

Gary Wilkerson challenges believers to recognize and break free from "subtle Jonah" tendencies—small compromises that prevent us from fully obeying God's call.

Main Points:

• What is a Subtle Jonah? - Unlike Jonah's blatant rebellion, most Christians compromise subtly through partial obedience and minor disobediences that seem harmless

• The Impact of Small Compromises - "Little foxes spoil the vines" (Song of Solomon 2:15) - seemingly small compromises can destroy your destiny, calling, and spiritual fruitfulness when your life is ready to bloom

• Breaking Free to Live Radically - Regain sensitivity to the Holy Spirit instead of sensuality; stop accepting worldly standards and chase away the "little foxes" through God's power

• Examples of Subtle Compromise - Pornography instead of full adultery, skipping prayer with children, choosing comfort over mission work, unhealthy habits God has called you to change

• The Call to Full Obedience - God has a magnificent destiny for your life that requires eliminating even small compromises; heroes like Moses, Noah, and Rosa Parks refused to minimize their vision

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
