"God demands more than coming to the cross, he demands going through the cross. And that's the offense: that it takes everything a man has, and owns and trusted."
"He demands full obedience. He demands everything we have. We have an another gospel now that tells what the cross did for him, but not what it wants to take him to".
" I didn't only come to the cross, I picked up my cross and went through it with him."
The gospel folks is not only forgiveness, it's not only believe and go to heaven some day, not only saving of the soul but about saving the BODY. This flesh. It says I want your body as a living sacrifice and that's the preaching of the cross".
- David Wilkerson
@sarikorpi Thanks ... I heard him & the x-gang leader (Cruse ??) speak at WASHINGTON FOR JESUS some years ago ... from his book THE CROSS AND THE SWITCHBLADE! I was greatly blessed!
@sarikorpi Yes thx...God has blessed me many ways.. that night in Washington DC at WASHINGTON FOR JESUS was awesome.. the Holy Spirit inhabiting the praises of His servants... before I went to the evening Message and Worship Rally at the football stadium- the tv news Washington Council of Churches said rain and few attending & other negative comments! When I got off the bus at the stadium it sounded like a touchdown .. God’s Spirit in the messages and love between the brotherhood of Christ! Awesome worship service!!! The next day the main event was full of God’s power and love between the brotherhood of the saints!
@richardafaherty Thanks brother Richard, Wow that sounds awesome. I pray that God lifts up new spirit-filled Godly men in this generation to lead and to preach the true gospel without compromise! That hearts would be cleansed and lives would be transformed. That God would pour out His Spirit on the nations, starting with us, His people. 🙏🏻
@sarikorpi I pray in agreement with you!
@richardafaherty Thanks for your comment. Yes I've read it too, I believe his name is Nicky Cruz, it's an incredible story of God's love and power towards a lost world! I can't imagine someone more filled with Christ's love than David Wilkerson, so it's radical to hear him talk against these 'seeker-friendly churches' of our time - those who claim to be preachers of God's love, but actually deceive people when they neglect repentance and the cross!
