God's Intention for This Midnight Hour — David Wilkerson

God's Intention for This Midnight Hour

My message tonight, God's intention for this midnight hour, God's intention. O King Jesus, we love you. Be exalted, O Lord. Oh, we adore your name. Jesus, touch us with fire. Touch us with yourself. We've sung, be glorified, now Lord, do it.

God, burn the word into our hearts. My King Lord Jesus, be exalted tonight.

We love you. Amen.

The Church Must Hear the Spirit in the Midnight Hour

God's intention for this midnight hour. Do you remember the hippies and the flower children? An entire generation of searching, restless, hungry young people? Do you remember when they massed in Woodstock and in huge rock concerts all over America?

And the pervading questions of the time were, who am I? Why am I here? What's the purpose at all? And when no one could answer them intelligently, many of them dropped out. But you see, they were asking questions that God's children should have been asking themselves.

These were questions the Holy Spirit was trying to bring to us. But we were so busy, so occupied with ourselves and with health and wealth, we didn't even hear what the Spirit sang, so we had to take the question to the hippies and they dropped us because we weren't even in tune.

I believe the Holy Spirit of God's been trying desperately for 20 years to get a message into the church. They heard because they were hungry. But now it's time for the church of Jesus Christ to listen to the Holy Spirit.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the church. Here are the questions the Spirit has to get through to you and me tonight. Why are you here? What is God's intention for you in this crisis hour?

Do you really know what God expects of you in these last times? What is God's one great final purpose for our lives? What is His purpose? And how sad today that so few men and women of God can answer that question.

There's only a remnant left today who understand God's purpose for His children in the last days. A majority of ministers today are sounding a trumpet that's making uncertain sounds. And the uncertainty in the pulpit has spread a cloud of uncertainty in the congregation.

And multitudes of Christians who profess to be serving a mighty God still live in bondage and despair. There's absolute ruin in some churches today. Everywhere you look there is ruin and you know it. There's an emphasis on certain doctrinal issues by evangelists and teachers and it only adds to confusion.

And many hungry people today are asking, who is right? Just what is God's purpose for today? What is the Lord's intention for me and for His church? Is it miracles? Is it casting out demons? Discipleship?

Church growth? We hear so much that it's confusing. What is God's intention? What's His real purpose for the last hour? And I believe that God has had but one great intention for His people ever since the cross.

It will not change. It has not changed. There has been but one purpose from the beginning. There will be but one purpose until Christ returns. God's intention has to do with understanding the mystery of the gospel that was first revealed to the Apostle Paul.

And it's a mystery no longer according to the Apostle. Paul said, by revelation, God made known to me the mystery, which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed by the Spirit.

He has come to make known to all men what is the fellowship of the mystery. Now the mystery revealed, and this is what you've got to understand. We've got to understand it before we go any further. The mystery that has been revealed through Paul and to the church of all ages.

The Church as the Visible Body of Christ

Christ's body is still here on earth. Christ's body is still here on earth. The head is in heaven, which is Christ, but the rest of His body is right here on earth. We who love Jesus and serve Him represent His visible parts.

That which men can see of Christ on earth. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. And He is the head of the body, the church. Now God's full intention for this last hour can be summed up in one sentence.

Listen to it. Since we are Christ's body on earth, God's intention is that every member become a true expression of who Jesus is. That you, that I, that everyone that calls themselves by His name, become a true, holy expression of who Christ is on this earth.

Now God intends that we express a complete, full Christ. So that any sinner on the face of the earth can look at you and can look at me and see Christ as surely as He were walking on the flesh on this earth.

In the flesh. The world, the sinner has to be able to look at you and see the same fullness, the same intention of pleasing God as they saw in Christ as He walked in the flesh. Because we are His flesh and His bones.

We are the visible body of Christ on earth. The mystery unfolded is that Christ's body is still visible here on earth. And it's you and it's me. We are to appropriate so much of Him, of His glory, His completeness.

The world will see in us the hope, the answers to all their needs. And if you and I cannot live out Christ, we have no right to preach Him. If we are not a true expression of who He is, we have no right to talk of Him.

It's not enough either to just know Christ. We've got to be a full expression of who He is. You have got to look at everything in your life. I've got to look at everything in my life. In this light, does this represent...

This is what I'm doing, this is what I am, does this represent who Christ is? Is this what I want the sinner to see and know of Him? Would Christ in His physical body walk into an X-rated theater? Would He linger around a pornography counter?

Would Christ abuse His body in any way? Would He indulge in adultery and fornication or drinking? Would He cheat? Would He tell dirty stories? Would He lie? Would He live a lie? And then attempt to preach the truth?

Would He try to spread the light when there was a pocket of darkness in His own life? Would He tell others not to commit adultery and then in secret do it Himself? You see, we've got to keep before our eyes this one great intention of God, that His body would always reflect who Christ is.

Holiness as the True Expression of Christ

Now, if you set your heart tonight on becoming a true expression to the world of who Jesus is, you're going to stir the very wrath of hell. You can build all the colleges you want, you can raise up orphanages and retreats and build churches, all to God's glory, quote, unquote.

You can go out and evangelize and you can give your body to be burned at the stake, because you see, the devil will not trouble a miracle worker or a moralist, but Satan will not leave you alone once you set your heart on truly expressing the holiness and the righteousness of Jesus Christ to the world and showing the world by your life who He is.

You see, when you discover God's intention and you begin to know who you are, His body, and when you get into the center of that purpose, when you know you're called to be as He was on the earth, you're going to be the direct target of everything in hell.

Would you build an orphanage over in Africa? Would you go to the Amazon to preach the gospel? Would you go to the American slums and give your body to human need? Would you go to college campuses in Iran and preach for Christ and sell out to God?

That's very commendable, that's fine, but it's not God's first intention for you in this last day. Because if you are not a true expression of who Jesus is, everything you do is human, it's works and it'll burn at the judgment.

Because the Scripture said in the last days, many will come saying, Lord, Lord, did we not cast out devils, did we not heal the sick, did we not do many things in your name? And you say, depart from me, you workman, I never knew you, and conversely, you never knew me.

And when Peter stood before Christ and said, I don't know the man, he wasn't lying. He spent three years with him and never knew him. Who is the one who has vision? We talk about a man, a woman having vision, a man of God who has vision.

Is that the one who builds a great church, who has the big budget, who speaks to the largest TV crowds? No, the one with vision is the one who reflects the glory of Christ. Who's had a vision, eternal vision of who He is.

In Christ, sitting in heavenly places, who is able to reflect the glory of Jesus. God will not sponsor anything that does not reflect Christ. Whatever is born out of relationship to Jesus is the only thing, the only thing that He sponsors is that which comes out of the mind of Christ.

Commercialized Christianity and Impending Judgment

And I don't see much in America today that is a true expression of who Jesus is. There's so much of ego, bragging, competition, struggle for recognition, but so little of Jesus Christ. I switch on the television set and I watch the Christian gospel programming and my heart grows sick.

The pitiful appeals for money, the spectacular expensive sets, the endless small talk. And I cry and I say, Oh God, is this the best expression to the world we can give of who Jesus is? Raising money for a choo-choo train.

The time is not far off when things are going to start unraveling and coming apart. The daily news will become terribly frightening. The economy will yet go into complete disarray. You watch the end of this year and see what happens.

The nations of this world are going to tremble with fear. We're about to enter the most ominous times in history and everything the Scripture says it can be shaken is going to be shaken. And what's going to count then?

When everything around you is crumbling, you're going to see men of God stand in the midst of their projects and weep and howl. Massive building programs are going to sit idle. Cobwebs and bats will fill the temples.

And the monuments of self-achievement are going to haunt the people who built them. Those who chased after health and wealth and prosperity are going to be empty and desolate because they have no inner strength to face the horrors that are falling.

They have no history with God. Those who took the things of God so lightly, who never broke away from the world in its spirit. Those who are unwilling to forsake the old world in their own ways, they're going to have nothing to see them through the final days.

There's only going to be one thing that matters then. Do I know Jesus Christ intimately? Am I an expression of Him in this dark hour? Will I be one of the few who will witness to this crazy world that Christ is above it all?

Will I be His shining light when it gets dark and cold? Is there something in your heart that responds to this call to be an expression of Him? And you're yearning to be that expression? There are two things that you've got to understand tonight.

One part is Christ and one part is yours and mine. I want to discuss them with you. First of all, this is His part. We cannot be an expression of Christ until we're convinced that everything is clear between God and us.

You've got to once and for all understand what Christ did at the cross. And this generation lacks the theology of the cross of Jesus Christ and its victory. The entire charismatic movement. The upper room has overshadowed the cross.

We've developed a Christless Pentecost without a theology of the cross and its victory. We don't even know that God's heart was satisfied by what Jesus did, by what He did. Because at the cross, Jesus Christ forever took away the thing that offended God's eye about me.

The Finished Work and Acceptance of the Cross

He once and for all satisfied the heart of God. And if God is satisfied with me, I'm going to be satisfied. He took away that which was in the eye of God, giving us a right from that day on to be in His presence and to be accepted before God.

There is not a single thing that stands between the child of God and the Father. Not one thing now that stands between. You don't dare go another step tonight until you fully understand the efficacy of the cross of Jesus Christ's blood that you and I are fully pardoned.

God does not have to be appeased. He's been fully appeased, if that's the word you want to use. He's been fully satisfied. The cross, get it? The cross has cleared us before the eyes of God. We are clear!

You may forget that, but God doesn't. The veil was torn that allowed us entrance. It was God saying, you are now accepted. Come boldly to my throne. You are now mine in the Beloved. You are checked in the Beloved.

You and I can't even pay for our sins because we don't even know the extent of the offense. We didn't know what the offense was. We don't even know how we grieve God. How can you pay for an offense you don't even know the extent of?

Jesus Christ knew the extent of the distance between us and the cross and God. And He closed the distance. He brought us to the heart of God. And you don't know anything about the heart of God until you look at the prodigal son.

And you see it not as a story of a sinner coming back, but it's the story of the joy of the heart of God, of those who come to Him before He even comes. He's there rejoicing. He brings Him into the house and puts a ring on His finger and a robe on His back, and He accepts Him and He has a feast.

That story is the rejoicing of the heart of God. It's a reflection of what is in the heart of God. The love for His children. The love for those that are under the blood of Jesus Christ. We have lacked the knowledge of the security that we have under the blood.

This is one issue that's got to be settled once and for all. You cannot allow a cloud between you and the Father. But you say, David, my heart condemns me. I still sin. I've done things I believe have grieved the Holy Spirit.

I'm unworthy. There are times the heavens seem brass. But the Bible said, if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart. All you have to do is repudiate your sin to hate it, confess it. You've got to believe that in Him forgiveness of sins is preached.

Do you preach that and then not believe it for yourself? That in Him forgiveness of sins is preached. Hallelujah. Here's where most Christians fail, especially young people. They live with unnecessary fear and bondage because they don't understand the glory and the victory of the cross.

They are clear in God's eyes, but they don't know it. God is completely satisfied, totally satisfied by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And the way has been cleared into God's presence. There's nothing blocking access now except our fears and our lack of knowledge.

And won't it be a shame that so many of us stand before God and we had so much that was offered and we didn't enter in because of our lack of knowledge? We couldn't believe it was so glorious, it was so beautiful, that God said, I will not impute your sins against you, they're forgiven, they're under the blood, and it was too good to believe.

And we lived under constant fear and condemnation, getting saved and resaved and filled and refilled, and never understanding the glory of the cross that God has been satisfied. Hallelujah. When the veil was rent in two, it was not just that God allowed us to come in, but God could go out.

He goes out immediately to a sinner called Saul. The veil was rent not to just let us in, but to let the love of God flow. And he goes to Saul immediately and says, Saul, Saul, come home. Hallelujah. How incredible.

We offend God. We create this distance between us and Him, and yet He is so anxious to clear us in His own eyes, He sends His own Son, provides His own sacrifice to clear the way back, He judges sin, the offense is removed, and now God says, their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Face the world and tell you're in that glory. Until you have that peace and the glory of sins forgiven, that God is not trying to impute sins to you now, He's trying to reconcile you to Himself. He didn't have to be reconciled.

He was never not reconciled to the world. He has always been reconciled to the world, but now He was out to have us reconciled to Him. He Himself removed the distance. Hallelujah. What is there in us that attracted the grace of Jesus Christ?

Was there some marvelous grace in us? Was there some beauty or goodness or strength? Was there some kind of potential in us that attracted the grace of God through Christ? No. It's misery that attracts grace.

It's need that attracts grace. You find that all through the New Testament. Our greatest attraction to God is that we are poor, helpless creatures in need. What attracted Jesus to the Syrophoenician woman?

What attracted Him to the blind and to the infirm and the widows and the fatherless? What they all had in common was helplessness. What is it that attracts the grace of God in me and in you tonight? It's our helpless condition exemplified by the palsied man.

Grace for the Helpless and the Forgiven

And they came unto Jesus bringing one sick of the palsy And take a good look at that man because he represents the helplessness of this generation. The helplessness of you and me having not one iota of strength or power.

This palsied man can't even bring himself to Christ. You look at him trembling and weak and helpless. He's a prisoner to his bed. That's you and me before we understand this concept of deliverance through the cross.

Jesus stands before this helpless man that's let down through the roof to Him. And He didn't even mention his physical condition. First the Lord was going to clear him before God's eyes. He would clear him before He heals him.

When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. You have to be accepted before you're delivered. Accepted before you're healed. You have to know that you're accepted before you step out.

What a beautiful picture of the love of God in Jesus Christ. He's a helpless man. He's too overwhelmed by his infirmity to even whimper. He can't even muster a confession. He has nothing to offer Christ.

He's too weak. You see the scripture said, It's not of works, lest any man should boast, but we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. It's not something that you and I have done. It's something that He is doing.

Hallelujah. We are His workmanship. The Pharisees with all their good works and their boasting never did attract the grace of God. It was J .B. Stoney who said, The more parade, the less depth. The more parade.

Look at the ministries in America today. And judge it that way. The more show, the more parade, the less depth. But see how the weakness of man attracts his sympathy and his grace. You show me a person.

You show me a child of God struggling with some hated, besetting sin. Someone who's crushed beneath a load of guilt and despair. Hating the sin, but feeling helpless and weak. Now I'll show you one who is the object of the abundant grace of Jesus Christ.

Because where sin abounds, grace is much more bound. Are you struggling? Oh, you're an object of His grace. It's our helplessness, our need that attracts grace. Hallelujah. Satan will come against you in this struggle.

He'll suggest to you that God is mad at you. That you have no right into God's presence. He'll throw Old Testament concepts at you that have no right to be even thought of under the blood. He'll say that wrath and judgment's at the door.

And I want you to know those are lies. All lies. All you have to do is look up to the Lamb of God. And in your utter helplessness, you hear these comforting words. Son, daughter, thy sins be forgiven thee.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Then you stand by faith on the finished work of the cross from that moment on. Let me show you something now. Through faith in Jesus Christ, your sins are under the blood. You live on the other side of the veil.

You're seated with Christ in heavenly places. You're accepted into beloved. You are one with Christ and the Father. God's wrath against your sin has been satisfied. You've been given an inheritance. You are now more than a conqueror.

You are now living and moving in the Spirit. There's a bloodline between you and Satan. Your accused has been cast down and put to open shame. You are filled with the fullness of Christ. You have a power in you to meet everything having to do with life and godliness.

You're the apple of His eye. In the hollow of His hands, purged from your iniquity, renewed in your mind, you're reconciled, justified, sanctified, made ready as a bride, translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.

You're made an heir of all things in Christ Jesus. You are no longer under condemnation because there's no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Christ abides in you. He reveals Himself to you. And no height, no depth, no principality, no power, not man, not angels, not things on earth, not things in heaven, can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

You are feeding on Christ the manna from heaven. You're living in Zion in God's presence. He is your friend. He's your priest. He's your advocate. He's your Lord. He's your guide. What more do you want?

And do you believe those things are true? Do you believe He said it? Do you believe that God made these promises to we can help us creatures such as we? Do you believe there's treasures in earth and vessels?

Are you forgiven? Are you clear in the sight of God? Have you accepted your acceptance? Do you believe while you're sitting here right now that you're fully accepted in the sight of God and nothing stands between you and Him and that you have an open heaven and you can pray for a spirit of revelation and knowledge in the things of Christ?

Yes. You can become a true expression of who Jesus is only as you take your place at the right hand of the Father, truly accepted, all the hindrances removed, not by you, not by anything you can do, not by promises you make, not by what you feel, but what Christ has done.

There's a four-letter word the church has never understood. It's called done, D-O-N-E. Do you know that you can love Jesus and still be miserable because you don't know you're accepted? The most miserable people I meet in America, those who truly love the Lord with all their heart, but they've never entered into their acceptance before Christ.

They've never entered into the glory of the cross of Jesus Christ. I don't want to be just forgiven. I want to be free. Hallelujah. Secondly, and this is your part and mine, he's done his part. It's done.

It's finished. We accepted in his sight. Oh, that's the blessedness that David was talking about, of the man who knows that God is no longer imputing sins against him. Oh, hallelujah. Here's your part.

To become a true expression of Christ, you must take up your bed and walk. That's our part. The palsied man was forgiven and cleared in God's eye, but he was still a prisoner. He was relieved of all of his sins, but he was still impotent.

He knew Christ as relief, but he didn't know Him as resource. Now, come on now. This is where the majority of the church of Jesus Christ is, and this is where the entire charismatic movement seems to be right now.

They know Christ as relief. My sins are forgiven. They're under the blood. But they've never known Him as resource. They've never been able to take up their bed and walk. It's not enough to be a forgiven cripple or a relieved prisoner.

There's something you've got to do. Jesus said, Is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee? Or to say, Arise and take up thy bed and walk. But ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins.

I send to thee, the sick of the palsy, Arise and take up thy bed and go thy way into thine house. In other words, go home and practice it in your home first. Go to your house. That man gets up out of that bed, but he did not get up out of that bed in his own strength.

Christ imparted a supernatural strength to him, because without Christ we can do nothing. We know it is the power of the Holy Spirit, and Christ was actually saying to this man, and he says it to you and me, I'm going to make you an example of my power over sin.

You're going to become strongest where you were weakest. The thing that made you a prisoner you will pick up and carry. You will overcome the very thing that held you down. You'll become strongest at your weakest point.

A spiritual cripple who has a controversy at the center, who still has a cloud between him and God, who still lives with secret sin, cannot be a full expression of who Christ is. Now, every one of us in this room tonight knows what our weakness is.

Please turn the tape over for the remaining part of this message.

You know what the weakness is by the way God deals with you and by what convicts you. We know where we're most vulnerable, and Satan will come to you and suggest that one day that weakness will overcome you and cast you down, and you'll lose everything.

But that's not so. By His glorious power, God can make us strongest at our weakest point. That's what the Scripture means by His strength being made perfect in our weakness. The man that was told to steal no more was made strong in that weakest point because God said, I'm not going to make him not steal anymore.

I'm going to give him a job so that he can become a giver. I'm going to take this taker, and I'm going to make him a giver. He's going to become strongest at his weakest point. He once stole, and now he's going to work, and he's going to give.

God will take you at your weakest point to show His glory to the whole world. He'll make you strongest at that point, and that should be your desire and your faith and God's power to accomplish that in your life.

You say, I want to be an expression of Christ, but there's something hindering you now. You know it. The Spirit's convicted. You will be setting sin a weakness, an inner controversy that's still unresolved.

But that hindrance you know must go. The prison doors have been opened. You've been forgiven, but you can't stay in that bed. You can't go about as a cripple. You've been in that bed long enough. You've been palsied by sin long enough.

What in the world will the Lord do to get us out of that dominion of sin? How does He get us out of bed? He said He will give us something to overcome. And we talk about this power as being something mysterious, but it's really not.

Abiding in Christ Through the Spirit

Now listen closely, please. Let me try to explain as I see it. You and I are grafted as a vine into Christ. Isn't that correct? As a branch into this vine who is Jesus Christ. The very same power that enabled Him to fulfill the will of God on earth is the very same power that enables us.

The very same Spirit that quickened Him and raised Him is not another Spirit that comes on us. It's the same Spirit. Couldn't you imagine the Holy Spirit going into that tomb and shaking, trembling that body and bringing life?

That's the same Spirit that raises and quickens us. The same place that Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father is where you and I are seated. Scripture says, No man has seen God and lived. And Isaiah said, When King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord.

But that's the night Isaiah died. The message is, see God and die. And when you really see Him, you'll die to this world. You become detached. And the more attached you become to Jesus Christ, the less attached you are to this world.

You become detached to material things when you become totally attached to the throne. How do we know our sins are forgiven? You stand here tonight and you say, We believe the blood of Jesus Christ cleansed them all.

How do you know that? It's by faith. You take that by faith. And when you take it by faith, there's a witness and you go your way with peace of mind. How do you know you have power? It is not by some outward expression.

This is by faith and faith alone. You've got to believe that what God said is true, that when the Spirit of God came on you, He gave you power over all the forces of hell. There's one preacher who will never ever accept the fact that a Christian can be possessed of a demon.

How in the world can you live beyond the veil and a demon cross the veil? How can you be in the hall of His hand and a demon sit in the hall of His hand? How can you be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and have a devil sitting behind you?

How can the devil cross a bloodline? No! No! No! No! No! In a thousand years? No! No! Don't ever let that come to you. Oh, I reject that in the name of the Lord. There is no Scripture for that in the Bible.

There's no Scripture. I have the anointing on this, the blood of Jesus Christ. Satan cometh, Jesus, and has nothing in me. Unless you can say that, look the world in the eye, never be afraid of the devil again in your life.

And you're not to be focused on your sins anymore. You're to be focused on the right hand of the Father where you're seated in Jesus Christ. Not focused on sins, but the cross and the victory won there.

Hallelujah! This palsied man gets up and walks and carries his bed. That's the type of the believer who's in mastery over his sin. And what an expression of Christ this man was. What hope he gave to all the sick and the affirmed and those who were burdened by sin.

Didn't he give hope to everybody that saw that palsied man work, carry his bed, walk? Isn't that what God's after today? He's not seeking for anything else but overcomers. Now listen, I'm convinced that the Lord Jesus is looking for people who will be such an expression of Himself that they can show an evil generation how Christ completely delivers from the dominion of sin.

That sinners could see Christians who live above the lust and pleasure of this world. They could see men who love their wives and they're faithful. Wives who don't cheat, but they're good mothers and keepers at home.

Young people and students who practice purity and separation from everything that defiles. Let me tell you how I feel. We've had enough colleges named after famous evangelists. We've had enough fastest growing churches in the world.

We've had enough busy Christians doing exploits. We've had enough gospel radio and television because if radio and television was ever going to do it, we've had 50 years to do it. And with all that, the less people knowing Christ and serving in fullness than any other generation.

We've had enough of crusades and concerts and outreaches. We've had enough about abortion and moralism. We've had more than enough of plans and projects and programs and seminars and books and records and tapes, magazines and newsletters.

But we don't have enough Christians who truly express who the Lord is. There are very few that sinners can point to and say, there goes a Christian who really expresses to me who Jesus is. If I ever come to Christ, that's the kind I want to be.

There goes one who has nothing to sell, nothing to promote, nothing to prove but Christ, risen and glorified. There stands a man, there stands a woman who shines with the beauty and simplicity of Jesus.

Christ is Lord. There's one who has reality. There's something in him and her I can't deny. That's Christ. And shouldn't that be the call of your life and mine if that's God's intention? Shouldn't that be ours?

That we would represent Christ in His fullness and completeness. And when I stand before the judgment seat of Christ, I'm going to be judged on one criterion alone. David, how did you express me to the world?

What did your life say to the world about who Christ was? Did you show forth Christ through defilement and compromise and shamefulness? Could the sinner see an overcoming Christ in you? Or did you show them nothing of the fullness, the joy, and the victory of Christ the Lord?

You're going to be judged on how you've represented Him, what kind of an expression you've been of Jesus Christ the Lord. That's awesome. You're going to stand before the Lord and brag how many souls you've won?

Lord, I got 200 souls last year. You're going to stand before Him, Pastor, and tell Him that you built one of the biggest churches in America? You're going to tell Him how many stations you're on? And I'm not putting that down.

You're going to tell Him what kind of crusade you started? What kind of moral victories you've won? How many people you've preached to? You see, God doesn't care so much about what you've done, but what you've become.
