David Wilkerson – How Not to Come to God | New Sermon
Hebrews 11th chapter just the one verse folks this should be marked in your Bible if any verse should be marked in your Bible this should be underlined and put stars all around it Asterix or anything else but Mark it well Hebrews 11 6. mine is underlined and triple-lined and on the sides of everything Hebrews 11 6. but without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him again but without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them an agility seek him and I want you to quote it with me please read it out loud but without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and he’s a rewarder of them that diligently seek him Lord I pray for your unction and anointing this morning in 1995 you’re calling us to Faith to jettison all of our unbelief and our doubts and our fears and to come to you Lord as one who’s made great and precious promises whereby we’re made partakers of your very divine nature now Lord give us a word from Heaven that will begin to do a work in us for this whole year Lord I want it to happen in me sanctify me give me the anointing of the Holy Ghost Holy Spirit I know your hand is on me God your hand is upon me and I ask you Lord to breathe life through the words that I speak this morning sanctify Me For Your Glory in Jesus name amen now I would like to believe that most of you sitting here this morning uh who call yourself by his name have learned to go to God In Prayer about everything you you are praying believer most Christians uh know and believe in the necessity of rare now some of you not only pray but you seek the Lord diligently some of you pray with tears many of you have learned to fast you know the value of fasting and I thank God for a praying fasting Church now some of you have learned even to pour your hearts out to God with great heart rendering and supplications and you’re convinced as David was he said when thou said is seek ye my face my heart said unto thee Lord thy face I will seek and many of you here this morning would be called Seekers after God but I have a question for you this morning does God hear every child who comes crying to him does he hear every cry of every child of his it comes to him do all who come to him seeking his Blessing and favor get what they want because everybody who comes to him asking deliverance from besetting sin get that Deliverance does everybody who asks receive what are those who come to him with much fasting they they fast I’ve heard of people fasting for 20 30 and some even 40 days out of Africa come those reports of those who believe in God to raise the dead in the fast and 30 and 40 days are we heard by our fasting are we heard by our praying alone are we heard by our tears uh and there’s something in us that urges us on say if I could just fast more if I could pray more if I could just cry more spend more time with God read more of the scripture I believe I could be a better Christian I’ll hear from God and God will answer my prayers we have the idea that all we need is more more more we hear David say in my distress I called upon the Lord I Cried unto my God he heard my voice out of his Temple My Cry game came before him even into his ears and because David cried the next verse says God came down he thundered in the heavens he drew me out of many Waters he delivered me from my strong enemy so is that it you go to God and you cry and God hears and Thunders from heaven and delivers you beloved there’s a missing link there’s something missing and it’s missing in many of our lives and it’s why we’re not getting answers to many prayers it’s why often our unsafe loved ones are not saved it’s often why year after year goes on and on and nothing happens our prayers are not answered there’s a missing link and it’s this verse that I just gave to you Hebrews 11 6 for without faith it’s impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is that is rewarded of them to diligently seek Him in James 1 6 and 7.
But let him ask in faith nothing doubting for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed for let not that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord the man that is living in doubt or entertains doubts even in his prayer chamber entertains doubt during his fasting entertains doubts don’t let that manner that woman that believer no matter how many rivers of Tears you cry don’t let that person think they will receive anything from God anything scripture said David said blessed be the Lord because he’s heard the voice of my supplication the Lord is my strength and my shield my heart trusted in him and I am helped I want you to go to Psalms 33 I’m gonna I’m showing you something here from David’s Psalms Psalms 30 go to Psalm 33.
now you’ve heard me you’ve heard Pastor Carter you’ve heard Pastor Don you’ve heard us say God wants us to cry out to him there is a gut level there’s a gut-wrenching cry we talk about and God does hear the cry that that cry is not heard unless it’s accompanied by faith it has to be accompanied by Trust Psalms 33 Verse 18 beginning to read behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him upon them that hope in his Mercy to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine our soul waited for the Lord he’s our help and our shield for our hearts are rejoice in him why because we are trusted in His holy name in other words he’s saying the fear of the Lord yes he keep me alive he’s going to deliver me I’m going to wait on the Lord he’s my help he’s my shield he’s my deliverer but it’s because we have trusted in His holy name how many see that in verse 21 because we have trusted in His holy name don’t turn there but Psalms 18 2-3 the Lord is my rock my Fortress my deliverer my God my strength my butler the Horn of my salvation in whom I Trust in whom I trust he could call God his delivery he could call God his shield his mighty Horn of Deliverance because he said I trust him I have no right to say that of no right to pray it I have no right to fast about it till I trust him first in fact David makes it very clear that all of our fathers from the very beginning of time had their prayers answered because they trusted in him all right Psalm 22 4-5 our fathers trusted indeed that’s where they begin they trusted and thou just deliver them they Cried unto thee and were delivered because they trusted in thee and were not confounded they were delivered when they cried because they trusted indeed Psalms 26 1 I’ve trusted also in the Lord therefore I shall not slide I’ve trusted him so I’m not going to backslide I’m not going to give up and God’s not going to give up on me and I’m not going to backslide I’m not going to slide back to my old ways because my trust is anchored in him it was David’s trust that moved God to deliver him reading from Psalms 56 11-13 for thou Hast delivered my soul from death will you not deliver my feet from falling because in God I have put my trust I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me and folks everywhere you hear God David crying out every time you hear David’s confession that God is delivering him you’ll hear his pride of trust you’ll hear his testimony rather of trust he said God’s hearing me God’s answering me because I trust in him I cry out to God with tears and supplication but I trust him I’m crying out from this Foundation of trust that God put in my heart now I I mentioned this last night because I preached half my messages last night if you were here as as I saw most of you were not here but uh the Lord brought this home to me in prayer this past week I was shut in with the Lord at a wonderful time and uh my wife is down in Texas with Bonnie grandmothering having a great time with all her grandkids so I had a week alone and seeking the Lord and fasting in prayer and about the third day on Wednesday folks there are a lot of things I’m praying about there’s some Miracles I need that I’m praying about one of the Miracles is the an outpouring the Holy Spirit here in New York City for example I’m praying about some needs I’m talking about I’m praying about physical needs in my family in my own body there are a whole lot of things that I’m praying about and and you can look at pastors and they come up when they sound uh as if there is never a problem never a need that everything is just Rosy with with our lives now folks I would hope you believe and understand that that we’re not living in sin and we’re not praying about those kind of things we’re praying about the the burden uh Paul talked about the the burdens of the church who were cast upon him and the needs of people and and you can’t preach this gospel without a broken heart you can’t stand here without uh beseeching the Living God for unction and anointing because it’s an awesome way to to have it uh in your mind all day long every waking hour I have to stand before God and answer I have to answer whether I have comforted people in their sins by not preaching enough of his of his law and his wrath or have I wounded many people who were needing love in that thin line there that this this great awesome thing that hangs over you oh God I have to stand one day and answer and I don’t want ever to have anybody at the judgments he’d be able to point a finger at me and say you didn’t preach the whole counsel of God and I’ll tell you it’s a burden it’s an awesome awesome thing if to me it’s overwhelming my prayer every day is God if I were ever to bring disgrace to your name I want you to take me now flame me I want you to take my life right now don’t ever let me be like some evangelist friends and acquaintances of mine who have failed and brought great reproach on you Lord I’d rather you kill me than ever let me bring reproach on your name and I know that every person that search prays that way God don’t ever let me bring reproach to your name but I there were some things I was agonizing over and praying and crying out to God pouring my heart out weeping in and uh a kind of feeling well I’ve got to break through God’s goddamn me because I’m putting such an effort into it I am so sincere I am so desperate and he’s going to hear me because the Bible says cry unto Lord and he’ll hear you I preached it and uh and I’m quoting those scriptures myself about crying and and uh laying hold of the horns on the Altar and and I’m doing all these things and I’ve brought my flesh under subjection because the flesh has no inclination to pray and you have to have a real Victory when you’re really interceding there’s a victory over flesh and I’m rejoicing in this victory over my flesh I’m really walking all over the apartment and shouting and crying and screaming at God and say oh God you have to answer the Lord said be quiet stop it I mean lovingly but firmly stop it David stop it get your Hank and wipe your face and stop your crying stop my crying he said you wanted a broken contrite spirit to this one will I look stop your crying stop walking around this Department goes to Dad and as clear as anything I’ve ever heard in my life don’t you ever again come into my presence like you’re coming right now with unbelief I don’t want your tears I don’t want your crying I don’t want your screaming and begging until you’re going to believe my word until you believe you’re you’re crying you are praying you’re weeping without faith and you can’t please me you could cry for all 1995 he said you can you can we tell there no more tears left you can make me promise that you can do anything you want fight and strive it’s not going to do you any good because you’re not going to have your prayers heard they’ll not be answered you’re not going to get anything from me until you come by faith and that’s when he led me to that without faith it’s impossible to please me and if you’re going to come to me you’ve got to believe that I am that I am your God that I’m faithful to you and I’m going to reward you if you seek me with faith and then he said go to the promises go to the promises and and I’ll tell you the Lord showed me how not to come to him anymore that’s why how this message was born first of all do not come to him expect him to answer a single cry or hear a single prayer or do any good thing for you unless you come with childlike faith in his promises unless you come with childlike Faith because you see we Believers have a very serious problem we hear so much preaching about the need of prayer we get under such condemnation when we neglect to pray and we grapple so strongly with our flesh trying to bring it into subjection and we discipline ourselves to pray and so when we get to this place where we’re really praying and seeking God we think it it’s Unthinkable in our minds that God would not receive after we’ve gone through such a struggle to achieve this place we can’t believe that we can do all this effort and be in vain that God doesn’t hear it that you might as well if you’re not going to pray in faith you might as well go down to one of these churches and light a couple candles and stand before an idol and and quote your prayers to the idol if you’re not going to come to Faith he said you cannot please be in any way right there stands before us without faith it’s impossible impossible get a hold of that word it’s impossible for you to please me without faith boy does that stick in me ever since Abraham developed a faith that staggered not at what God promised and being not weak in faith he considered not his own body now dead when he was about a hundred years old neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief but he was strong in faith giving glory to God and being fully persuaded that what God had promised he was able to perform and we’re talking about impossibilities because God makes a promise to two dead people here’s a man whose reproductive organs are dead and here’s a woman whose one was dead and God’s saying you dead man you dead woman are going to have a baby a baby boy and all my promises of Faith are going to come through this child you’re going to be the father of many nations he’s a he’s 99 years old Sarah’s 90.
we’re talking about impossibility what a challenge to Faith absolutely humanly impossible and God said Sarah shall her name be and I will bless her and I’ll give the son also of her she shall be the mother of Nations and Kings Sarah shall bear thee a son indeed now why did God wait till he got so old that promise was given to him years before it was given to him before Ishmael was born it was given to him when he was still alive it given to him before he was dead physically dead as far as reproduction why didn’t God give him Isaac when he gave him Ishmael God could have answered that why did God wait I tell you Sarah waited they wait 10 years and Sarah gets impatient and she knows the promise and Abraham knows the promise since he gets uh impatient when you get impatient with God you start designing and manipulating and planning and plotting and she has a plan she’s devised she said I’ll tell you what I don’t have a child but I’ll give you my mate Hagar for your second wife you go into her and you bear you bear a son you bear me a child through Hagar and here’s a man who who doesn’t raise any objections he says all right and he goes along with the scheme with with the device because he’s thinking in his mind well he said out of my seed the son will come and so it would be still be my seed and he’s reasoning and he he goes into Hagar and Ishmael is born and when Hagar is with child she despises her her uh uh what you call not a Lord but her mistress and uh she despises and then you see Sarah go to Abraham and she said uh this sin be upon you in other words what she’s really saying this is your fault it’s not my fault it’s your fault and she’s right because you see it’s the man or the woman that has the life that’s responsible Abraham had received the word from the Lord directly from the the hand of God right from the heart of God he was told to be patient and to wait and he gets impatient he goes along with this scheme because he’s looking for a shortcut he’s trying to make things happen he doesn’t have faith he’s staggering into promises and God at this point you see Abraham had to had to develop this Faith he had to come to this place through testing and trial where he had a faith that didn’t stagger he had a faith it was unshakable and that’s God’s testimony of Abraham God said of him he’s staggered not at the promise of God but that was when he’s 99 years now this is this is before the because from the time the promise is given until the child came was 19 years why did God allow the impossibilities to pile up why did he come to the wait till it was absolutely humanly impossible because this seed had to be the seat of faith it had to be birthed in faith this child had to be a child of faith not of human reasoning not of considering things and figuring it out this had to be total dependence on God this had to be a miracle child this had to be born in the womb of faith and nothing else it was Abraham’s fault and folks the greatest sin is the sin against light you know I I see uh a church over here a Catholic Church uh every three months or so they’ve got this uh icon they’ve got this statue of Mary and they’re holding it on their shoulders and they have little trumpets and thing and they’re they’re walking slow all around eight to ninth and and I I looked at these people come and giving money to that Idol and it’s an idol of Mary it’s an icon of Mary and and I look at that and I say that the people really is there such blindness as to really believe that she answers prayer an idol even though they may see her representing Mary that you go to Mary to get your prayers answered rather than Jesus Christ or to the father and I’m thinking this blindness but folks you see we’re judged by the Light we’ve received there are some sitting here now far more guilty before God than anything like that you can go to the Philippines where they cut themselves and gas themselves and you could say oh what what horrible blindness what what awful Darkness but folks they’re not going to be judged like you and I are going to be judged who have had the light we’re judged by the light that we’ve received and folks this whole book is a book of light promise after promises whereby God has given us everything we need having to do with righteousness and life itself everything we need and yet we rather than appropriate it whether than to know it and understand it mind hath not conceived the good things God has prepared for them that love him but God has revealed them unto us he reveals it unto those who want it who seek the revelation you don’t have to live 1995 in fear you don’t have to live in the bondage of unbelief I want to tell you something you take one drop of the ocean and that one drop has all the same qualities or the the bad qualities of the ocean this is there’s as much percentage of of salt in that one drop is in the whole ocean percentage-wise all of the bacteria and everything else in one drop and you could have one drop of unbelief and be guilty of the whole body of unbelief the whole ocean of unbelief if you have just these drops of unbelief in your heart it’s the same thing God bless every drop of unbelief out of our hearts it had to be birthed of Faith this child and so it was you see the Bible says Abraham considered not that means he didn’t stop to figure things out in fact the Bible to stagger means to dispute or to debate and what it’s saying Abraham didn’t try to figure it out he didn’t argue the merits he didn’t debate the issue God said it and he believed it folks what it means to have faith is to have all your arguments settled you’re not trying to figure thing out anymore you’re not trying to debate with God you’re not trying to figure it out at all you’re not reasoning and the Bible said he considered not he no more human reasoning he’s going to hear the word of God and act on it has God delivered you from all human reasoning don’t come to him if you’re going to try to figure it out you’re going to go to praying and tell God how to do it or figure it out for him that’s where most Christians are they’re trying to figure out how God can answer their prayer when you go to God you leave behind all debates all human reasoning all idea of hopelessness all the questions all the doubts and believe the scripture says according to your faith so be it unto you according to your faith by secondly don’t come to God with any IFS when God gives you a specific promise it’s absolute unbelief to qualify it with an if now let me talk to you about this idea if praying if it be thy will now folks that’s mentioned one time in the scripture Jesus in The Garden of Gethsemane when he prayed o my father if it be possible let this cup pass from me nevertheless not as I will but thou will let me talk to you about the cup the cup has nothing to do with the cross Jesus always embraced the cross for three years he told his disciples where he was headed he embraced the cross he’s God he was God in flesh he knew that mankind could not be saved without the cross without the setting of his own blood he embraced the cross that was not the cup the cup is very clearly the anguish that he was suffering in the garden he said to the my soul is exceedingly sorrowful even unto death the anguish the sorrow in Jesus was because man had rejected his father’s plan on their own Redemption he had the weight of the sins of the whole world upon him and he did not want his own sorrow to slay him in the garden he was sweating he was he was weeping bloody tears he did not want man to kill him he didn’t want to fall in the hands of the man and be slain in the garden he knew he had to go to the cross he said my Soviet cities are even under death the Paul of death was upon him the cup was death before the cross no he said if it’s possible let this cup pass from me and folks it did pass that cup passed the Holy Spirit came down quickened him and by the time they got to him Jesus was gentle prepared and walked bravely to the Cross there was something that Came Upon Our blessed savior and he faced it he was not dreading it there was a wonderful thing that happened to our savior in Gethsemane the cup passed and he came through God answered that prayer he said if it’s possible let it pass it passed there’s a scripture in first John 5 14.
if we ask anything according to his will he heareth us look at the context and you’ll find he’s talking about the gift of eternal life he’s trying to understand folks listen to me please you can substitute their promise because any promise is a revelation of God’s will did you hear me how many are hearing this are you hearing in your spirit that the promise is a revelation of his will what he Wills he has promised if you ask anything according to my promise he hears you according to his promise his promises it was revealed will promise to keep us from falling that’s a revelation of his will that is his will to keep you from falling he’s revealed it John 15 7 if you abide in me and my words abide in you he shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you Hallelujah on my way to church this morning this wasn’t in my message and if you saw me scribble something down something Holy Spirit spoke to my heart when I was on my way to church this morning the holy spirit said now you get up and you preach anything you ask we’re gonna have people asking for better cars better clothes and uh a husband and they’re going to describe them they’re going to want black hair six foot two big wide shoulders and they’re going to get into that give me give me give me you see there’s another thing you don’t come to him with lust in your heart or covetousness remember what James said you pray and you ask and you don’t receive because you ask and Miss you’re asking with the wrong motive you’re asking to to consume it on your own lust some of you honestly I use this as an illustration you’re single and you pray God I’m tired of being alone I really want to mate are you willing to let him do it his way and the one that he chooses or is it you’re you’re not coveting companionship you have a lust in you that needs to be satisfied and you’re only dealing on this level of lust you’re not dealing with the companion you’re not looking for someone you’ve not really prayed for someone who really loves God with all his heart or Soul or a woman who loves God with all her heart and soul was going to be a real testimony for Jesus and be a strength to you it’s just somebody you’re just somebody to to to satisfy that inner fleshly craving God’s not going to answer that prayer God’s not going to answer that you you look around your house and you get dissatisfied you see somebody around you there’s something better and there’s something Rises up well Lord I I want something better than this and you Covenant if there’s any covetousness at all God’s not going to answer he said that’s the wrong motive then these people that are are preaching name it and claim it in other words just whatever you name you can have it disclaim it that comes from a spirit of covetousness I do believe God answers prayer he will meet every need he can get you out of debt if you have the right motivate if you have if you have a determination you won’t go back in debt got no gonna bail you out of debt if you’re going to jump right back into it and you haven’t learned your lesson he’s going to wait now folks God there are a lot of prayers are not being answered and God just not lets the impossibilities pile up and pile up until it gets more and more hopeless and that’s what he did with Abraham until it got absolutely hopeless and the landlord can say now will you believe me you can’t do it you can’t figure it out I have to do it you know and the whole world knows and I got to the place where you know if it comes it’s an answer to prayer it’s an answer to what I have promised you folks there there are people that that uh say well and I used to say this well of God sets one door it’s because he got a bigger door to open hello I don’t go on that theology that philosophy anymore in other words if God doesn’t give me what I ask to give me something better his desire is to have you so walk with him that you’re really not asking anything except what he births in your own spirit you shut in with him and he puts these Desires in your heart he puts these requests in your heart you begin to find yourself praying for souls and seeking first the kingdom of God and then you look around all these things are happening behind you you haven’t even asked for them he’s blessing you because you’re not asking for blessings you’re asking both things that are close to his heart and and there’s there’s something happening inside of you you see well Lord you’ve been so good I look back over the past years since we’ve been here in New York City how God has blessed oh God is blessed but you see we have zeroed in on seeking him first glorifying his name believing him for Souls believing him for his Spirit to be poured out believing for the Salvation of our family seek him first his kingdom his righteousness seek to be walking before him in Purity walk before men Holiness he says I’ll take care of all these things I’ll take care of all of them I’ll meet your need now before I close let me tell you how to come to him rightly just quickly I’m going to give you four simple things and how to come to him in the right way first of all you come with we’re giving heart listen to me folks forget faith forget prayer forget fast and forget it all if you’ve got a grudge against somebody if you go go to God with something in your heart forget it you’re not going to be forgiving your sins your prayers are not going to get above your head well get past your hair let alone the roof but if you forgive not men their trespasses neither will your father forgive your trespasses Matthew 6 15.
and I’ll tell you what I said it last night God dealt with me on this someone last year had wounded me quite grievously and it and it’s uh nobody that’s here in this church right now so don’t try to figure out who wounded me but oh it hurt because I I know before God I was totally innocent of anything and uh and I want the Lord I said Lord I don’t want to Harbor anything in my heart I don’t want anything stand between you and me so I forgive I forgive Lord I forgive I prayed that for two weeks and I thought I’d forgiven two weeks later I’m sitting at the restaurant my wife and I’m talking I’m kicking it all around again I said I’m forgiven but boy it’s hard to forget I’m forgiven but that’s still bugging me and for the next two weeks I was sharing with anybody to listen and God said David I can’t hear you you already haven’t forgiven because when you forgive you forget you don’t bring it up anymore it’s a dead issue folks get that in your mind now if you’re going to pray and seek God work to go into a week of prayer we’re believing God for not pointing the Holy Ghost but we want our prayers to Prevail get out of your spirit anything against anybody you got anything against me against brother Carter any other person get it out it’s not on your matter getting your prayers to answer about it get into heaven I’m going to be there you better make peace with me I’m just a little teddy bear anyhow looking seriously you have something against somebody don’t pray till it’s out till it’s settled and it’s dead secondly obey his word and do what he says whatsoever we ask we receive of him because we keep his Commandments and do those things pleasing in his sight and by the way he’ll tell you if there’s anything the holy spirit will show you anything is displeasing to the Lord if you simply go to him in faith he’s promised to reveal it because that’s the work convinced of the Holy Spirit to convict of sin righteousness and judgment thirdly if you’re married treat your mate with intelligence and With Honor that your prayers be not hindered you’ve got to go to God you’re fighting with your wife forget it if you’re not treating your husband or your wife with intelligence or With Honor your prayers are not going to be heard they’re hindered the scripture says and finally come in simple childlike Faith except you be converted becomes little children you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and I used to think you can’t get to you you can’t go to Glory you’re going to be lost if you if you don’t come like a child it’s not what it means he’s talking about the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth you you cannot appropriate all of the provisions that Christ has made and that you come as a little child you can’t enter this Heaven on Earth you can’t enter this place in God until you come like a little child you can’t enter this you’re going to be left outside so if you want inside and you want to appropriate all the promises of God and all the provisions of the Cross you come as a little child and believed him Hallelujah you know what I’m what I’m doing this year and I I may put in a little book so that we can share it with the body of Christ I did publish a promise book but I’m taking promises for specific things in my life I’m looking at every area of my life everything I’ve been praying about and I’ve made it a point I’m going through and I’m writing down all the promises that have to deal with that a revelation of his will that has to do with the thing I’m praying about and I intend by God’s grace to go to God every day this next year taking those promises to the throne of grace and I’m going to just lay them there and say Here’s what you said that’s a revealed will I believe what you said and I’m going to start thanking you right now I’m not going to beg you to do what you promised I’m going to thank you for fulfilling your word to me and I want to go by faith and this year should be more of rather than begging God to do what he’s promised standing on these promises of God and begin to thank him and lay them before him and appropriate them they’re ours Hallelujah 1995 is a year of faith a year of believing for the Salvation of your family that God’s going to start convicting them even today Hallelujah didn’t he say ask what you will in my name didn’t he say anything you ask the father in his name he will do it let’s believe those are the good things you ask for the Salvation of the souls and he know folks he knows your condition your physical condition he knows your financial condition and he’s not going to abandon you I’ve heard people say well brother Dave I’ve prayed prayed about my financial needs and I’m still in a mess well let every let God Be True in every man a liar because the word of God is true I don’t care if a million people tell me it doesn’t work for them God says he made his promise I’m going to stand on that promise against a million people would say otherwise if your needs are not being supplied if you’re going deeper and deeper God’s going to have to deal with covetousness he’s going to have to to deal with some things in your life to get it right with God and when you get things straightened in divine order these promises will work they will work Hallelujah let’s stand folks let me ask you a question if you can’t pray specifically for things how do you know when God answers you say I pray for someone God gave me something else well how do you know that came and answered a prayer God wants you to know he wants to give you exactly what you asked so that when it comes you’ll know specifically that he is answered to encourage your faith Hallelujah Heavenly Father forgive our unbelief there’s not a person in this building that hasn’t had some times of unbelief drops of unbelief and doubt this past year and Lord sometimes they’re just flashing through our mind they pass through but their thoughts of unbelief and Lord when we we we’re not trusting you it means we don’t believe you truly love us Lord you love your people you didn’t call us to abandon us to the devil let the devil ensnare us you called us to deliver us and set us free that we can walk in Holiness and righteousness and without fear all the days of our life Hallelujah Lord this is your freedom you’re going to save a multitude this year you are going to save a multitude and we’re going to believe you for our families Lord for all the people being saved in this church don’t pass by our families we’re going to get desperate with you so we’re going to do it in faith hallelujah we’re going to begin to thank you for your promises and we’re going to stand on your word not our word but on your word Hallelujah blessed be the name of the Lord I don’t have his mind yet for they all to call sing a course okay let’s just wait on him a minute please it wants to come down and rid of unbelief and start a new year and have a whole church coming down here because we’re all feeling that and since they’ve got in the spirit but here’s what the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart there there’s some balcony here in the main floor and uh you have in you a spirit of restlessness it’s been most of this past year been very restless and there’s been no real peace somehow you have not come to a place of real peace in the Lord your spirit’s been troubled I don’t I don’t know what the harassment comes whether it’s from the enemy whether some sin uh uh or situation in your family but there’s there’s a total lack of peace and there’s a restlessness there’s something churning inside of you that’s the best I can explain so I’ll received more and the Holy Spirit made it clear that this is the just a very narrow invitation this morning for those who have that turning churning inside of you that restlessness I want you to get off your seat that’s the Holy Spirit working on you doing something very clearly in your heart this morning I want you to get obviously up in the balcony go down either side come down any aisle they say brother Dave that’s me there’s there’s a twisting there’s a turning and I don’t want to go through 95 like I did 94.
that restlessness that thing that’s chewing and churning inside of me because I don’t know what it’s from but God wants to settle this morning bring that Restless Heart he wants to give you peace Hallelujah sing that again so I prayed I want to talk to everybody who came forward here’s what I receive from the Holy Spirit I don’t see any way out of restlessness out of anxiety I see no way for a change other than faith faith is your way to Victory absolute victory let’s take example if you’ve been battling and besetting sin or you’ve the enemy has been coming at you and just holding you something has a hold of your life if you stand here and allow the devil to say I’ll never be free I’m going to be like this I’ve prayed and cried and it’s still there you’ll never be free there has to be somebody who says God has promised to keep me from falling God has promised to keep me I’m going to stand and believe that there has to be hope rise in you Abraham believed against hope he believed against hope he believed against everything you have to believe against all the lives of the devil pounding your head you have to believe that God said it you have to stand on what he said he said call upon me and I’ll answer he is going to answer you he’s going to answer your Cry he’s going to answer your prayer and you’ve got to stand on that right now Lord I’m David said Lord you you promised my house that you’re going to bless my seed and I look around I don’t see it I don’t see what you promised nevertheless I believe that’s exactly where you have to come right now whatever it is you may be in a hopeless situation in your home it seems humanly hopeless but you’ve got to believe God knows how to straighten things out you have to believe God knows how to fix anything anything I I think of drug addicts over the years that came to this one one drug addict he said he said I got saved but if I love the Lord but I’m married to five women and I listened to I mean he had lived seeded his way and he had he he was he was he had married certificates everything five different women I think oh God how do you ever mix it how do you ever figure this out but folks within a year God figured that whole thing out God straightened things out some of them were drug addicted wise I think one or two that were passed on not just miraculously delivered that that brother he can work a miracle after miracle and get you out straight in your life if you will trust him and believe him so God I’m going to cast my Care on you I’m going to give everything I’m going to try to figure aren’t you tired of trying to figure it out aren’t you tired of making God promises that you break aren’t you tired of carrying this load on your own back put it on him now Jesus I’m going to stand on these great impressive problems now that requires that you get into this book and you start digging them out Hallelujah go to the Psalms I’ll tell you what if you spend 30 days just in the Psalms and take every promise and read your name into every promise that was given to David or any other servant of God read your name into it and stand on it God’s the same yesterday to Dan forever he’s no respecter of persons and God will meet you oh that I could pour faith into I can’t but he can that’s the work of the Holy Spirit oh God give me the faith that I need this year by your head and pray this prayer with me from your heart Jesus forgive my unbelief forgive my lack of trust forget forgive me for all the words of doubt that I’ve been speaking to my own heart and to others Jesus I come to you as a child and childlike faith saying Teach me to believe teach me to trust give me your faith Jesus heal my unbelief I want to trust you Jesus to deliver me and to keep me from falling and present Me faultless Before the Throne of your glory I love you Jesus and by your grace in 1995 I’ll cast my Care on you I do it right now I cast it on you Jesus I give it all to you now and I trust you to work a miracle in my home in my life now raise your hands and thank him right now by faith that God is going to do what you ask Hallelujah Praise You Jesus I give you thanks Lord thank him right now with your own Spirit your own heart your own lips I give you thanks I give you thanks wonderful Lord wonderful Jesus Hallelujah this is the conclusion of the message
