Taking Back Control of Your Life - David Wilkerson

Many Christians want to be instruments of God's work in the world, and that is commendable. However, we are often tempted into making the Lord's battles into our personal fight, and then our egos and pride get involved. In this sermon, David Wilkerson examines the prophet Elijah's struggle against Queen Jezebel and why God allowed Elijah to experience such intense spiritual attack and setbacks in his ministry to Israel.

JESUS IS LORD❤. Thank you brother David Wilkerson for creating Teen Challenge. I graduated the mountain in 2009 in Pennsylvania. I am from Maryland. I was addicted to painkillers for nine years. I lost all my teeth from chewing them up but God save my life by allowing me get busted by the police And then sent me to Teen Challenge. Thank you, Lord Jesus for saving my soul from the pits of hell and setting me on fire for you.❤

Not only do I need deliverance but physical injuries and neurological issues healing. 7 yrs ago I had a fall injury including several at once. Those injuries affected my walk with Jesus. Prayer. Study. Concentration because of the magnitude of over all pain,discomfort and incapacitation. I'm so exhausted and tired. It's so very hard to e he Godly man I once was. I cry out daily but nothing.I miss that intimate relationship with Jesus 😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭😭😭😭 I would love to be physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually able to be used in this last days harvest and or at the very least go back to work.

Great great message. Terrific points. " Crawl into Jesus lap and let Him wrap His arms around me". Yes,I love that. Let Him be my comforter,my shield and my strength. Amen. To God be the glory...thank you,World Challenge for another great message. This thrills my heart. I like messages that stirs up my heart.

[@Luke10.19Woman]

What a wonderful sermon. I take its message for myself. It amazes me how Pastor Wilkerson has passed on; yet the Holy Spirit is STILL using him to draw people to Christ, to convict them, to encourage them, + to heal them. What a legacy he has to pass on to his children + his generations... it's worth MORE than gold. I know going against the grain is never easy + his burdens were not always easy to bear, but thank God for His obedience + willingness to serve the God Most High. I have gleaned a lot from him. I love this guy! He is an inspiration to many + a reminder of what putting it all down at the foot of the cross looks like.

[@writersblock409]

Amen to that!

[@ricardotrujillo2538]

My Lord,my Lord,I say...if only we could fully grasp( and I speak to myself) all that God wants us to fully know and understand. Not saying it would be easy still,but we would know to STAND OUR GROUND! Praise God,Praise God.

Summer of 2023, I felt sick and uneasy all of the Summer,, and ide been on a Rx for anxiety/ depression for a long time. So I felt, “ I’ll slowly stop this, and leave this to my Lord”,,, I did, over several weeks. Oh my gosh,, my whole clarity of mind returned, my energy returned,, my prayer life just opened up like a break in the ever present clouds over me. This is almost a year ago. I’m not going back. It was for a Season, and now I do not want it, I want to trust my Lord, King Jesus,,, for my wellness, my joy my joy in Him. No more Rx like that one for me. ❤

[@lorrainepeart6537]

It's very easy to have faith for breakthrough for others but for me it was always different. Until now. I have been in a situation I thought could never affect me. I have cried and cried over it. But Yeshua told me to trust Him. This was one of 4 issues I faced and all I could do was pour my heart out to Him and ask Him to hold me and He did. My Tower and refuge and most of all a friend. He's assured me He has made the way and I know it has been. Yeshua got me so all I could do was turn to Him, no one else. See I needed to be reminded that He is all I need and He is. I have an amazing testimony as I know I have a mission,I'm just not sure what it is yet but I love God and want to complete it. All I can ever say to Him is Thank You Lord for Your tenderness love and mercy. Thank You for shielding and protecting me, Thank You for being patient and kind and Thank You fir never leaving me. I can do all things through Christ , that is what You say, so I trust You for my breakthrough. ❤❤❤

[@carolynyoung8404]

Amen, even these words are a testimony!! Thank you for your obedience to the Holy Spirit and for being humble enough to write this down. It has encouraged me. Praise the Lord. Will pray for you!!!! Yeshua is on His Throne.

Lately I’ve come under some strange demonic attack, from younger women. All- out attacks,, as one young woman got out of her car, came accross the street to spit in my face,,, I did not understand,, all I was doing was chasing my little dog who got out of her harness, when these young people set off some kind of firecracker. I’m 72,,, I cannot run,,, I got my dog,, I drive home, I called the police,, they made a “ report” but said they couldn’t do ANYTHING. THEN another day, a different young woman tried to run my dogs and myself into the street, as she was driving. one of those four- wheeled “ quads”. I did not move,, and she took my picture, swore at me,, called me names,, lunged at my feet with her “ quad”,, I just sang “ there is power in the Name of Jesus,,, “ and I prayed,,, for protection for myself and my dogs,,, they are “ new” to this area/ city,, and intend to drive us older folks out. I just want to understand.
