Do we have the moral courage like Daniel to see our part in what has become a spiritual landslide in this generation? We must go into the prayer closet and allow the Holy Spirit to show us where we neglected to do what God has called us to do. Our cry must be, “How can my life bring glory to God?” We must turn away from everything that hinders us from glorifying God. The key to get out of our struggle is total surrender to the will of God! When we stretch out our hands to His will, God will do something supernatural in us and through us.

Acts 8:26-39 is the story of the Ethiopian eunuch’s salvation and spontaneous baptism by Philip. The word “baptism”, or “mikvah” in Hebrew, first appears in Genesis 1:10 when God gathered the waters together. The people of Israel were very familiar with baptism. There were 48 baptismal pools in the temple that were used for ceremonial and preparatory cleansing, all of which focused on the external. Jesus changed everything! Through repentance, He focused the cleansing on the internal, and reduced all those Old Testament baptisms to just one — in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God has given each of us a calling that often times seems unreachable. We have doubts and fears about what God has asked of us. When we attempt these tasks in our own strength, we limit God. In these situations we need to put full trust and dependency on God and he will allow us to outrun or go far beyond what we thought possible.

The Bible tells us that in our relationships with one another there should be love, mercy, comfort and unity. We are called to humble ourselves and love one another. The question is how do we humble ourselves? Humility is based on a revelation of Jesus. We fix our eyes on Jesus and see Him in His humiliation and exaltation. As you see Him in His glory you will be moved in your heart by His character, love, suffering and resurrection. Be in awe of Him and allow the salvation and all He has done for you to work its way deep into your heart and then work its way out onto others. It is God who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.

A diverse crowd of people gathered for the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus addressed the whole crowd as “poor in spirit.” He meant that they were without a spiritual nature. No matter how we feel about ourselves, we are all in this spiritual state. In spite of this condition, Jesus blesses us with the gift of His kingdom – eternal life. Jesus proved this blessing with His sacrificial gift on Calvary.

David Wilkerson delivers an Easter message on the power of Jesus' blood. The Son's mighty atoning sacrifice not only wipes away all of our sins and makes us clean but also gives us an eternal hope because now we are justified and will be able to stand before God's throne. Christ gives us peace and joy as we look forward to heaven, and that great gift should be one that we desperately desire for others to know too.

It is possible to know the truth and not practice it. We can be theologically correct but wrong in practice. When we have a wrong view of the cross we will develop a religion that calls good evil and evil good thus becoming our own god. It is hard to stand for God but not impossible. Do we have the courage to admit to God that we really haven't been honestly walking with Him because we have been caring only about ourselves? Don't be your own god! Invite the strength of God to flow through you. We are called to obey God, be given for others and be a blessing on this earth. God wants to work His love and compassion in you and through you to others that do not know Him yet.

In our lives our own efforts fade and wither, but Scriptures remind us that God’s Word endures forever. God has put this imperishable seed of His Word in us. This seed produces a growing faith — giving us power to believe. Through the Word we are purified and holy, which enables us to live an obedient life. God is making us holy just as He is holy.

It is important that we have a heart that desires to search the Scriptures. Not only are we commanded to search the Word, but we are also commanded to do so carefully. Through this we will learn the whole council of God and know whether our lives line up with Scripture. Being rooted and grounded in the Word will change our lives. The truth certainly will set us free.

This message is for those who are on the brink of falling into a pit of despair; you have hit a wall and you are overwhelmed. In these times your faith cannot be based on emotion. You have to lay hold of who God is and believe what God says about Himself. David Wilkerson encourages the believer struggling to go to Jesus and ask Him for a manifestation of His love, faithfulness and power. Don't lose your fight, God will show up in your situation!
