Repentance Is Our Only Hope (Compilation) — David Wilkerson

The Word of God Breaks or Hardens

When the Word of God comes forth in its power and unction, it'll do one of two things. It'll either break you or harden you. It'll break you or harden you. A Apostate church wants nothing to do with visions or prophecies of men of righteousness.

They don't want anything to do with it. They want to hear messages. They want nothing that disturbs the status quo. Nothing to upset this successful world in which they move and live. They refused any kind of correction.

Prosperity Preaching and the Refusal to Sacrifice

Why is it that people are flocking to prosperity preachers. Why is it when you preach prosperity you can draw a crowd simply because it suits the lifestyles of those together. They flock to these teachers because they feel comfortable With them because of their world of materialism.

They're in no mood to give up anything or to sacrifice or to hear about crosses or losses. They're into buying and acquiring enjoying and climbing the social ladder. Folks if that's all I was going to do if I wanted to if I wanted to get rich and if I if I had All these things and I felt condemned.

I'd go to a preacher go set my mind at ease. But when you got the fire the Holy Ghost burning in your heart and Jesus Christ as the head you can't go near it because The fire the Holy Ghost will burn it out.

Preaching the Holy Word of God Without Fear

Preachers don't know what to preach anymore. If they preach this they offend this group. They preach something else. They offend this group. Brother forget what the people saying preach the Holy Word of God.

The Apostate Church Rejects the Prophetic Voice

An apostate church simply endures the prophetic voice. They pass it by with a condescending smile. I'm gonna read to you. Listen to Ezekiel 33 don't turn me just to listen to it. He said they come to you as my people come and they sit before you as my people and they hear your words.

But they don't do them for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth and their heart goes after their own gain and their idols and Behold you're to them like a sensual song by one who is a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument and they hear your Words, but they do not practice them.

Prophetic Condemnation of Idolatry in the Church

When the Spirit of God would come upon me I began to prophesy against the idolatry of television and rock music of devils in our churches. Not could feel the wrath of God against it. I'd go in the backyard and prophesy to the trees because I didn't think anyone listen.

I just raised my voice and prophesy you've been bringing unclean Offerings you brought bruised and bleeding lambs to my table and the tables of Lord are filled with vomit. And I was prophesying and prosperate on the grass and feeling the wrath of God breathing down my neck against it all.

And I get up and I bleed my heart out and I can quote a hundred scriptures against this kind of idolatry. And and people come up and pat me on the back and say good preaching brother Dave. I believe it and go right back that very night and sit and watch filth.

And it's kind of an amusing message. It's kind of a novel thing to hear someone prophesy on there. What's it going to be for you brother sister? Is it gonna be that you hear the prophetic word of the Lord come and then you walk out and say it's a sweet sensual song.

And go right back and do the same very thing. As if you were never delivered from your idolatry in the first place. I Don't understand l anyone who loves God with all their heart. I don't understand. Anyone who knows that one day soon, they're going to stand before the judgment seat of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I don't see how you can sit before your idols anymore knowing that you stand before his holy eyes. But they don't do it. They still going to go about their lustful desires. They love to hear it. They love to say man.

But it doesn't affect them just a sensual song according to the prophecy of Isaiah. The apostate church of the last day is not going to accept this message of repentance whether I preach it or when it any other man of God preaches it.

It's not going to be accepted by the masses. It's going to be accepted only by a holy separated view. Isaiah 30 verse 15. For thus says the Lord the Holy One of Israel has said what in repentance and Rest you shall be saved in quietness and trust in quietness and trust is your strength.

Repentance as the Church’s Only Hope

But you were not willing and you said no. You're not willing. You said no. No, brother sister. Listen to me. The message of the Holy Ghost of this last day church is that in repentance and rest is your only hope?

The only hope left for the church Is to return to him with all their heart to get out of Egypt in the world. Try to tell that to the modern Huge multi-million dollar television ministries today that the only hope is repentance.

Tell them that tell that to the money man crowds. Tell tell this sensuous prosperous Self induced Self-centered generation of Christians tell them that their only hope is in repentance. Tell them that.

See how many listen.
