What a beautiful WORD from the Lord thru David Wilkerson...I know someone -- or some people that will definitely be blessed by this WORD....a WORD in due season...SOOOO encouraging....so FULL of TRUTH!! I love the scripture 1 Cor. 10:13....There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. We are ALLLL the same -- the same stuff that happened to JESUS -- and every famous preachers....and the lowliest of the low....were all the same...it happens to all of us!! David Wilkerson Today ---- A Ministry of World Challenge FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2013 EVERYTHING YOU NEED ---- by David Wilkerson The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26). I experienced a particularly heavy attack of discouragement at a certain point in my life. It happened when I was as close to Jesus as at any other time. One morning, as I was preparing a sermon, I was overcome by an intense despair. It came out of nowhere, weighing me down. No matter how hard I tried, I couldnt shake it. As I sat at my desk with my Bible open, I tried to continue working on the sermon but I couldnt get anywhere. Suddenly I was bombarded with doubts about my ability to put together a true message from the Lord. My mind was flooded with horrible thoughts that told me, You dont understand Pauls writings. You havent grasped the ‘old man’ and ‘new man’ concepts. You dont comprehend ‘dying to sin’ when sin still exists. How dare you presume to preach Gods Word? I sat there for three hours, determined to dig out a message but nothing came. By mid-morning, all the words on the pages of my Bible seemed to run together. My mind was confused and my spirit was dull, unable to hear anything from the Lord. I sank deeper into despair and became convinced I had nothing to give the people in our church. So I closed the Bible and left my study. As I walked around the house, my discouragement only grew. I tried to figure out why it had come upon me in the first place, but I didnt have a clue. Finally, I went into my prayer room and sat on the floor. I couldnt even muster up a word to say to the Lord. Instead, I cried out to Him from my spirit: “Lord, I dont know what to do. I feel so down I cant even reach out to You, yet I know Ive never loved You more than right now. Please help me. When the devil comes with his spirit of discouragement, he bombards you with one lie after another. By the time hes finished, youre crying, Oh, God, Ill never make it! This is just what the devil did to me. While in prayer, I endured his bombardment of hellish lies for about half an hour. Then Gods still, small voice broke through to my spirit with these loving and compassionate words: David, youre greatly loved. Dont worry, My hand is upon you. You are under severe attack, but do not fear. You dont need any strength of your own for this battle—I have everything you need!
