You're Changing — David Wilkerson

Recognizing Spiritual Decline Through Conviction

I'm going to lower my voice so you won't think I'm angry. Tell me now how many churches have you visited recently? How many churches do you know? Well, you walk in the Holy Ghost is so strong that every one of your sins are brought up before your face the loving grace of God.

How many churches have you been? Lately where you hear a word comes forth that so burns in your soul, you know, it comes from heaven. You know, it comes from the heart of God. I hope you hear it here.

The Loss of Spiritual Fervor

The truth of the matter is. In all honesty, there are numbers among us that are changing and they don't know it. You've lost your fight. You see when you when you read the book of Joshua, it's almost a book of failure because they lost their heart.

They lost a fight. You see when spiritual blindness comes birth you recognize it it's the last recognized thing that happens to a child of God. If I as a pastor Knew you personally. And I was watching your life and it's one of the best of this church, I come to you and say I I love you, but I have to tell you the truth.

The Subtle Worldly Changes in the Heart

You're changing. You know what you were. Something in the world has got in your heart. I don't know if it's television. I don't know what it is and has your heart, but I see changes in you. I I don't see the brokenness.

I don't see that Compassion you had once for your family. I don't see concern for your unsafe loved ones. You're changing little by little something's happening to you. Would it bring you to your knees?

When The ruined that you are not even aware of is suddenly brought before your eyes. Did you just let that go in one in or out the other? When a pastor tells you right now, hey, and I don't know who you are, but the Holy Ghost is speaking through me.

Losing the Love of God and Burden for the Lost

You're changing. Little by little you're losing. The love of God the love of Christ. Little by little these things are making inroads. Folks why do you think your pastors? Cry out against television. Do you think we get any pleasure out of the flesh?

This is no pleasure and somebody coming say I heard your message and I threw away my television. That doesn't give me any pleasure that give any pastor pleasure. We have given a camp because we watch for your soul.

Does it really matter to you that your unsaved loved ones are dying and we're getting closer and closer to the end. It doesn't really concern you they could die and go to hell even though you're a Lover of Christ.

Returning to Prayer, Fasting, and Confession

Where's the morning? Where's the fasting? I'm talking about the body of Jesus Christ in general. You're changing. Where's the getting up in the middle of the night? Where's the confessing? I'm tired Of hearing about people in the church who say they want their unsaved loved ones saved.

I'm tired of hearing people say I'm concerned about my troubled marriage. When it's just talk for we obey not his voice. Away with all of our how-to conferences because they accomplish nothing. It's how to cope.

Rejecting Fleshly Methods for Spiritual Transformation

How to build a bigger church how to reach the lost how to Improve your people skills and how to impact the world in this computer time. Flesh. You're changing if you Are expecting somebody else to be an instrument to win your family or to do this work.

You're mistaken. You're changing. You either Walk away And go back to your passivity. And say I'm just going to be an ordinary Christian and there's no such thing or you Begin to seek his face. You allow him to melt and break you.

Seeking God’s Face Beyond Fleeting Emotion

To go down deep in the soul. Joe God, I can't do this on my own. But I'm not gonna let my kids go to hell. I'm not gonna let my husband my wife. Oh God I'm not gonna live in this death. I'm not gonna live in this lukewarmness and this coldness anymore.

God. Change me and when you get desperate before God you set your heart to seek him. You allow God To lead you into this place beyond fleeting emotion. I said God. I'm gonna set my heart. Oh God, it's my burden.
