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

Pastor David Wilkerson addresses the universal human need that cannot be met through wealth, relationships, or worldly pleasures. He shares stories of successful people living empty lives and drug addicts seeking relief, emphasizing that everyone has deep spiritual needs that only Jesus can fulfill.

Main Points:

• Recognize the spiritual nature of your need - No doctor, friend, or physical solution can meet the deep inner emptiness; it requires spiritual intervention

• Don't just hear the truth, but do it - It's not enough to know about Jesus or hear sermons; you must actively walk in obedience to his teachings

• Jesus is praying for you right now - As the gospel is preached, Jesus intercedes for listeners, giving them the opportunity to respond to his love

• Make a complete commitment - True transformation requires breaking with worldly influences and friends who drag you down, not just saying a prayer

The sermon concludes with an altar call, urging people to make a genuine, life-changing commitment to follow Jesus completely rather than continuing to seek fulfillment in temporary worldly pleasures.

A prophetic warning that America faces divine judgment for hardening its heart against God, just like ancient Jerusalem did in Isaiah 22.

Main Points:

• God's Unchanging Pattern - Divine judgment follows the same principles throughout history for nations that reject him

• Jerusalem's Unforgivable Sin - In Isaiah 22, people partied while under siege and plague, hardening their hearts against God's obvious judgment

• America's Parallel - Like Jerusalem, America entertains itself amid moral decay while ignoring divine warnings

• False Security - After the Gulf War, America trusted military might instead of God, repeating Jerusalem's mistake

• No National Revival - Only a faithful remnant will experience revival, not the whole nation

• Coming Judgment - Prophecy of hydrogen bomb attacks from Russia targeting American cities

• Hope for Believers - The faithful should rejoice and "look up" as these signs indicate Christ's return draws near

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
