I will go
to Him, You have the word of eternal
life.
You gave me faith, I know that You
are the Messiah.
I will go to Him, Who is such
a God as You are.
The angel of my mother, You created me.
I will go to Him.
So we could get close to God.
So we could see that there is not
a glorified man, but a
wonderful service for almost 40 years, but there
is Jesus Christ, who gave to his life
something more than for the lost people.
God would give, so that Slovakia would survive
not only something divine, but would survive a
living Christ.
He would give something that can give life
to the hopeless, that can give freedom to
those who are bound, that can give life
to those who have no life.
The word of God says to us, The
days are coming, says the Lord, that I
will send hunger to the earth, not hunger
for bread, nor thirst for water, but hunger
and thirst to hear the word of the
Lord.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome today those of you,
who are hungry for God.
Welcome today those of you, who want to
hear the answer to the problems of your
life.
Because today, in this place, there is the
Holy Spirit.
And through His servants, He will speak to
you today.
Open your hearts, prepare the fruit of your
heart, because what you use today, what you
hear, will last for ages.
Even today, God will speak to each one
of us.
The Lord Jesus said one strange word, If
anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me
and drink.
If he believes in Me, as the Bible
says, the rivers of life will flow from
within him.
And the last word that is written, this
will be My word, which will come out
of My mouth, will not come back empty
to Me, but will do what I like,
and He will give him what He has
been sent for.
May God, so that the word does not
fall into a pit, or into a stone
pit, but let My heart and your heart
be full, to hear the message from God.
We will honor the Lord even now, with
songs.
He will also prepare this praise, water for
our Lord, for what will be spoken.
I would like to ask you a few
organizational things.
If you want to take a picture, this
evening, at the gate of David Wilkerson, it
is possible for the first three to five
minutes.
Then, please, do not go into this room
anymore, so that you do not disturb us,
so that there can be silence here, and
we can focus on the word of God.
There are authorized people here, who are recording.
It is possible, all these evenings, to order
here at this table, and you can also
be invited to the conference that was here.
We are very happy that God has enabled
one miraculous thing.
We would not be able to do all
these things today, and these days.
God not only sent David Wilkerson to this
place, to say goodbye to us with his
word, but also secured through them the finances
for covering all expenses.
There was no need for the state to
give us money, there was no need to
ask you for a single crown, because God
took care of it through these people, and
we are grateful to God for doing miracles.
Amen!
One thing I realize tonight is that we
are here as a family of Jesus Christ.
Regardless of which denominations and church families we
come from, we have a common Father, we
have one Spirit, the Holy Spirit.
Let us praise the Lord Jesus, because He
is worthy of praise.
His praise will say that our God is
great, a glorious God who gives freedom.
This is the day that the Lord has
given us.
The
Lord
is with us He is present, he is
our hero Lord, Lord, he is present, he
is our hero I know, gentlemen I
know, gentlemen This is the day, this is
the day that the Lord gave us Let
us rejoice in this song of ours There
is no one like the Lord Lord,
you are holy The God
of man, spirit and truth will rise Because
God is powerful God has power and strength
He is present, he is our hero He
is present, he is our hero I believe
that many of you were transformed and touched
by the Spirit of God I would like
to ask, is it so?
Can you raise your hands and say, God
touched you?
Amen We have experienced amazing things these days
And I am very grateful to God for
the fact that we can hear the living
prophetic word today in the situation of a
very specific individual And this prophetic word is
brought by one of God's men This prophetic
word is brought by one of the men
who is of a humble heart who gave
his life to the young generation And we
are very grateful to brother David Wilkerson to
brother Gary Wilkerson who, even after these days,
handed over the embassy to us directly from
the side of God And it could change
our lives And I believe that this desire,
this longing for God has grown in our
hearts and that we will go with courage
and we will testify that it is possible
to come so close to God even today
because his cross is reality I want to
invite you even today to open your hearts
and to do something for your future It
can be changed by coming so close to
God even today you will hear the message
from brother David Wilkerson and you will be
able to be blessed I have read several
of your testimonies amazing miracles I have seen
how homosexual people were freed how people were
not only saved and saved but how they
gave their lives how people who wanted to
commit suicide were freed Jesus is reality Let's
open our hearts and let's hear today what
God will say to each one of us
Let's welcome brother David Wilkerson right now Thank
you very much We are delighted to see
you here in the service tonight We are
glad to see you here Can I just...
We have some special guests with us tonight
They are from Teen Challenge I would like
them to come up and introduce them here
to you tonight If you'll come quickly wherever
you are There
are almost...
There are over 300 Teen Challenge drug centers
all over the world This was started...
We started in New York City 40 years
ago These are centers for drug addicts,
alcoholics We are in Pakistan, we are in
Afghanistan in Russia, Siberia and all over the
world We have been invited by Islamic nations
to come in because they say they can't
do anything about drug addicts They say if
you can heal drug addicts through Jesus let
Jesus come and He's doing it here in
your country as well Director of Teen Challenge
Just two minutes, tell us what God is
doing here and give us two testimonies It's
always amazing to see and hear what God
can do to free a person and not
only to free him, but to give him
a whole new life He gives blessings, not
only to change his life but to change
the whole family And we believe that in
this turbulent time we live in we believe
that God is powerful who has healing and
liberation Let me tell you a short story
about Teen Challenge in Slovakia It started in
1995 In 1996 we opened the first center
It was under the divine guidance and out
of nothing this service was created and the
Lord called the employees to this service I
never thought I would work and serve with
drug addicts and alcoholics It happened in a
bus when I was traveling from Trnava to
Bratislava The Lord touched my heart He spoke
very clearly because I was broken by the
death of a young man He was 28
years old, a young doctor and no one
could help him He overdosed, it tore my
insides because he wanted to be free and
I prayed to the Lord to be merciful
to this country and the Lord spoke to
me in this place where I would never
expect it and out of nothing the Lord
built the center we are in rent we
have a primary school and the rent is
1 crown per year It is the mercy
of God The work of Team Challenge is
always the work of faith and the trust
of the living God but we can confess
that He is mighty who can fulfill all
our needs I thank you for your support
and your prayers those who think intensively about
this service I would like to introduce only
two of these students It will be Laci
and also one who finished high school Laci
is in high school 6th month, 7th month
so he will briefly tell us what the
Lord did in his life Peace of God,
my name is Laci I am 27 years
old and I come from Nový Zámok I
lived...
My old life was full of sin and
sin embodied in my life the ways I
was connected to which the devil deceived me
drugs, all the drugs the market offered gambling,
adultery, pornography things that gave me anxiety that
gave me stress, schizophrenia that gave me paranoia
that broke my relationships in my family that
separated my friends from me I was left
alone at the end of my life I
was no longer in control this was given
to me by drugs and the unclean life
I lived I felt in one evening at
this place as you are now and I
heard a word it was a word that
reached my heart and I felt a calling
a calling like when you call from a
honeycomb I took the Lord Jesus into my
heart that when He is the Son of
God let Him change my life and give
me a new life and the Lord Jesus
heard this call gave me freedom, freed me
from all this I am free, gave me
peace gave me joy changed my way of
working I was chained in the grass, I
didn't just eat chicken breasts I even started
eating beans gave me brothers, sisters, new mothers
new fathers, God is a living God and
He also changed my family Lord Jesus, as
it is written in the Bible believes, your
whole house will be saved my mother, my
father I am grateful to God, may He
be glorified Hallelujah when
I was a child, my parents divorced and
a few years later my father committed suicide
and it was a difficult time in my
life and I got into a group of
young people who had similar problems as me
and we were tired of everything that happened
to us and we wanted to run away
we wanted to run away from reality and
we wanted to forget and so we started
experimenting with drugs and from the beginning it
looked very innocent and very tempting, very interesting
but in a moment it started to control
me it was stronger than me and it
started to pull me down I no longer
dictated when I would take a drug but
the drug started to dictate me when I
would take it and it went on and
on I started to spread it around me
I started to deceive people, to hurt and
hurt people I got into prison and I
went from treatment to treatment everyone told me
what to do, where to do, how to
do with whom to contact, but it didn't
work at all when I came back, I
always fell into drugs and it was getting
worse and worse I remember when I was
in drug addiction for almost 10 years and
there was no one to help me and
people told me to do everything you could
and I was already at my doctor's and
she told me to go and find another
doctor go away because there is no help
for you your health is broken and you
will die or you will die because you
are completely destroyed now I am over 65kg
and I used to weigh less than 40kg
and I was disgusted with it this is
not life anymore, this is survival from day
to day I don't even live anymore, I
am like a living dead I grabbed a
knife and said to myself this is all
that should be in the future I want
to be dead I grabbed the knife and
I wanted to stab him in the heart
but I got into drug addiction and I
stabbed him in the stomach and I got
to the hospital and they saved me and
I got to the center of Teen Challenge
in a very strange way and they didn't
talk to me anymore I went there and
the first thing they said to me was
go there, you can't go there, you can
do this, you can't do that but they
told me that there is Jesus Christ who
can change your life who can give you
hope and you can be free and I
saw it so many times in the movies,
I heard about it so many times but
I didn't experience it, I didn't have that
touch and I said, God, if this is
the way, please touch me change my life
and suddenly it started to happen that God
started to set up such mirrors and I
saw all the things that I had caused
the wounds, the thefts, all the people I
had hurt and it started to hurt me
and there was pressure inside me and I
was giving it away and I said, God,
forgive me, please people said, you have no
hope, I will forgive you, I will give
you a new life I will give you
to everyone and he did it, he gave
me a new life he gave me a
new heart, I can meet him every day
and he called me to serve him and
I went to a Bible school for a
week and when I come back, I want
to serve in this country because God is
the one I can meet every day and
he gave me what I have never experienced
before I have been free for almost 4
years and I thank the Lord for that
because people said, you will die for everything
you have done but God says, I will
forgive you and you will live and that
is his blessed name I would
like you to stand up and I want
you to join me in prayer that God
will keep them that they will grow in
the knowledge of Christ and become useful to
society and God make their lives count Heavenly
Father I ask you in Jesus' name to
put a wall of fire of protection around
these young men let them understand who you
are let them grow to be men of
God save their families do a miracle in
their lives let none of them go back
to their old life give them confidence that
you will keep them that Christ who saved
them has the power to keep them God,
turn them into men of God to go
out and win many souls for Christ bless
this ministry provide for their needs and raise
up a powerful testimony in this nation of
the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus
in Christ's name Amen, God bless you God
bless you, thank you so much we would
appreciate it if you would be seated and
no walking around during the preaching, please if
there's any walking around in there and
we would appreciate so much if there would
be no more flash bulbs or pictures because,
folks, this is always life and death see,
this is not about a man or any
men this is about Christ and His power
to do miracles I want to speak to
you tonight about being too familiar with Christ
too familiar with Christ you don't have to
turn there, you can if you choose but
I'm going to be reading from Luke, the
fourth chapter I'm going to be reading, starting
in verse 16 Jesus came to Nazareth, where
He had been brought up and as it
was custom, He went in the synagogue on
the Sabbath day and stood up to preach
there was delivered unto Him the book of
the prophet Isaiah and when He had opened
the book, He found the place where it
was read the Spirit of the Lord is
upon Me because He anointed Me to preach
the gospel to the poor He sent Me
to heal the brokenhearted to set at liberty
them that are bruised to preach the acceptable
year of the Lord and
He closed the book and gave it again
to the minister and He said down and
the eyes of all them that were in
the synagogue were fastened on Him and He
began to say unto them this day is
the scripture fulfilled in your ears and they
all bear Him witness and wonder at the
gracious words that proceeded out of His mouth
He said unto them you will surely say
unto Me this proverb physician heal thyself and
He said verily I say unto you no
prophet is accepted in his own country let's
pray Lord Jesus I need you we need
you we need that word from heaven not
the voice of a man not just a
sermon oh God by your Spirit fall upon
this congregation give us the mind of Christ
let us see your power the power of
your holy word dig deep into our hearts
in Jesus name I pray Amen Jesus goes
to the synagogue Bible said it was His
custom He did this since He was a
child before His father took Him now Jesus
was a normal child He touched the feelings
of all of our infirmities though He was
God He was still a man He was
also a child and these that were in
the synagogue that day grew up with Christ
many of them prayed with Him He was
always talking about His heavenly Father I'm sure
they couldn't understand Him His father was a
carpenter and Jesus no doubt was a carpenter
His father fixed furniture people brought all of
their broken things to be fixed He made
things He fixed things and He was a
normal child and now here He is in
the synagogue and God is about to reveal
who He is to the world there was
delivered to Him the book of the prophet
Isaiah He opens the book and this is
what He said The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me He has anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor He sent
me to heal the brokenhearted preach deliverance to
the captives recovering the sight of the blind
set at liberty them that are bruised and
He closes the book and He sits down
and there is silence they didn't understand a
word that He said because they didn't relate
to what He was saying they were not
bruised, they were not brokenhearted most of these
are very prominent Pharisees they didn't understand at
all but Jesus sits down and He said
this day this very prophecy that I've read
to you has been fulfilled I'm the man
Isaiah spoke about could you imagine the turmoil
looking at one another this is Joseph's son
we know his father we've played with him
he's just a fixed man they could tell
you all about him they could tell you
where he was born and when he was
born they could tell you his thoughts he
could tell you everything that he had said
about his heavenly father they knew everything about
his history and his geography but they didn't
know that he was God folks, this has
always been the issue is Jesus God?
you know, when 9-11 struck in New
York City they had a citywide prayer meeting
in Yankee Stadium that seats 70,000 people
Islamics and the agreement is this you
can talk about Jesus the man the teacher
the prophet but you can't talk about Him
being God anyone can accept Jesus the man
but Jesus is exclusive there's no other name
given among men where a man may be
saved but the name of Jesus Christ we
serve an exclusive Christ an exclusive Jesus I
very seldom in New York talk about Jesus
I talk about Jesus Christ the Lord because
everyone I talk to are familiar with Jesus
and can accept Him as a man these
people look at Him and basically what they're
thinking and probably what they said one to
another quietly it's one thing for this man
to fix furniture but now he's talking about
fixing minds and souls and hearts he'd have
to be God to do that and that
was exactly what Jesus was saying I'm God
I am man but God, I am God
in flesh Jesus didn't say the Lord sent
me to just commune with you I didn't
come just to be intimate with you I
didn't come just that I would have friendship
with you now folks, I don't know any
preacher who preaches intimacy more than we do
I've always preached that all evangelism all efforts
for Christ have to come out of communion
but you see you can become so familiar
with Jesus the historical Jesus we have young
people go to church they become so familiar
with Jesus they've had flannel graph teachings there's
some of you here tonight that have heard
enough about Jesus to save all of China
you know all about Jesus you've been taught
about this Historical Jesus He was born in
Bethlehem in a manger you know about the
shepherds you know about the wise men you
know He lived 33 years you can explain
His cross but you don't know His heart
you've become so familiar with Jesus He's become
just another man now folks, it's one thing
to be intimate with Christ to spend time
with Jesus to be alone with Him in
prayer to spend hours and days with Christ
I know in part what that's about communion
with Christ, communion with Jesus just loving Him
giving my heart to Him but folks, Jesus
didn't save us just to make us better
He didn't come to make good men better
men He came to give us His heart
He came not only to save us from
sin this is not just trying to get
you to heaven this is so much more
than that Jesus said, this is why I'm
here I am going to express God's heart
when you look at me, you're going to
see the Father you're going to see what
God is like I will do only what
He tells me to do I will have
close communion with Him you will see me
go away and pray I'll be gone for
days praying at a time let me tell
you why I've been sent by the Father
I've been anointed to preach to the poor
heal the brokenhearted preach deliverance to the captives
open the eyes of the blind and set
at liberty all those who are bruised I'm
going to ask you a question if you're
a pastor has your church just become too
familiar with Jesus the man?
do you gather just to commune and have
fellowship?
and do you have this thought in your
mind the reason we are saved is that
we may have fellowship we're
saved to build up one another and do
you meet week after week and month after
month and you talk about this man and
you preach about this man and you find
a thousand different ways to express this man
Jesus and then you begin to extol him
as the Christ and I'm going to ask
you do you have the heart of Jesus
in your church?
are you expressing to your community and the
world who God is?
if Jesus is God my job, my calling
is to do more than pray more than
commune that is the foundation, that is the
basis and if that's where you end all
you're doing is extolling the human Jesus I
went to New York City 40 years ago
a young man in communion with Christ who
left the church and a pastorate and I
went to New York City for one single
purpose in mind Jesus I want to know
for myself who you are and why I'm
here and what this is all about if
the Holy Ghost is just sitting in church
in four walls and just talking tongues and
pray for one another and bless one another
and the whole world outside those walls broken
hearted blind and in need I said oh
God I don't want that God open my
eyes to a world in need and Jesus
began to open his heart to me because
if you really get his fellowship if it's
true fellowship if it's true communion he's going
to give you his mind he's going to
give you his eyes and he's going to
give you his heart and you're going to
see human need call that human need I
started preaching to gangs on the streets the
cross and switchblade told the story of the
conversion of Nicky Cruz first time I saw
him he slapped my face and said go
to hell another one said I could take
a knife and cut you to pieces I
said every piece will still love you anyhow
there was such a love in my heart
I couldn't get it humanly this was born
out of months of prayer and intimacy that
if I didn't go out where there is
human need if I just stayed there the
next five years just communing with God just
becoming a great man of prayer then I
could preach this word like Apostle Paul if
I didn't have the heart of Jesus if
the Spirit of the Lord was not upon
me to anoint me to preach to the
poor and go out and heal the broken
hearted and go out where the blind are
I have to go where they are Nicky
Cruz was saved gang members started getting saved
that was in 1958 two years later after
walking the streets preaching to gangs and passing
out literature just walking the streets and hanging
out with the gangs in 1960 drugs, heroin
came like a bomb bursting in New York
City I didn't know what it was nobody
knew what it was they had been smoking
pot, marijuana but those were mostly professional people
but in 1960 heroin was all over the
streets the gangs were breaking up and every
gang member was out for himself to get
money for drugs, robbing and stealing and
I was walking the street and there were
two drug addicts there and they had just
got their heroin I said, where are you
going with that?
He said, we're going up on the roof
five story walk up flat rooftop I said,
can I see what you're doing?
I said, I've got to use drugs I
went up on the roof they pulled out
a needle a little bottle cap they
had a little glass of cold water and
one of them pushed the needle into the
cold water I said, what are you doing?
He said, I'm purifying the needle I said,
that's dirty water he drew blood out of
his veins he stuck the heroin into his
arm and he was yellow with jaundice a
killer disease his eyeballs were yellow so the
next boy takes the dirty needle and some
of this boy's blood is still in the
needle and he sticks the heroin in his
veins and I fainted I passed out and
when I woke up they were looking at
me they said, are you a coward?
I said, no I said, he's got jaundice,
he's going to die you just stuck it
in your veins you're going to get jaundice,
just like him I said, I know that
it doesn't matter that was my introduction they
took me to other places down in basements
to see the filth among the rats robbing
and mugging and stealing the broken hearted those
that are bruised those that are poor and
I said, Jesus I can't just preach the
gospel to them they're sleeping on the streets
and the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart
if you look in Brooklyn I'll give you
a house and you bring those boys in
and I'll show you miracles we found an
old house full of junk and we cleaned
it up Nicky Cruz came to help me
because he understood because I taught him Jesus
didn't save you just to get you off
drugs He didn't save you just to make
you a better man He didn't save you
just to take the killer out of you
He saved you to make your life useful
and that's what the gospel is all about
He didn't save me just to get me
to heaven He saved me so that my
life would be useful that my life would
count I don't care if you're a housewife
I don't care if you're a truck driver
I don't care what job you may have
I don't care if you're married or single
Jesus saves every one of us for a
divine eternal purpose that He can give you
His heart you won't raise up a sinner
like God told me to do but He
will lead you to the broken hearted and
those who are bruised and if all you're
concerned about is your own problem if you
have no concern for other people you don't
know nothing about the heart of Jesus and
I thank God for that day Nicky Cruz
went out on the street and he started
bringing drug addicts in I was walking down
the street of Brooklyn and I met a
young man waiting for the pusher and I
started talking to him he said you're a
narcotic agent because he thought I was using
the Bible just as a cover up but
he knew that a narcotic agent couldn't quote
the Bible like I could he said you're
just like my mother my mother is a
hallelujah woman she prays for me all the
time did she send you to me I
said I don't know your mother he said
I just got out of jail and I'm
waiting for my pusher and he's watching he
thinks you're a narcotic agent so would you
please move on so he can fix me
I said I'm going to tell you something
your mother prayed for you and you're not
going to get away from it you are
doomed to be saved you can't get away
from your mother's prayers and I said when
you get desperate here's my card here's my
address I have a house for drug addicts
his name was Sonny and he said goodbye
two weeks later he had gotten desperate he
comes in and the first one he meets
is Nicky Cruz he knew him he said
what are you doing here you're Mao Mao
he said no I'm not I'm a preacher
now Nicky preached we had a
chapel and after the preaching Sonny said to
him who told you all about me he
said Jesus did Sonny gave his heart to
Jesus Sonny Argenzony is now bishop of over
50 drug addict churches around the world I
was in his crusade in California 15,000
converted drug addicts and alcoholics from all over
the world you heard
the story testimonies tonight but you see Jesus
couldn't do anything in the midst of these
people because Jesus only responds to need and
faith he's talking about bruised people he's talking
about wounded these are proverbs they don't relate
to what he said Jesus finally
said to them you surely say to me
physician heal yourself and what you've done else
show us a miracle do something supernatural for
us they wanted him to prove that he
was God now I want to get personal
with the young people if you're a theologian
and if you've been very well educated in
the seminary and you're trying to figure out
the homiletics of my preaching and you may
question my exegesis you don't know where I'm
going frankly neither do I but I'm moving
in the Holy Spirit and you'll see what
God does by His Holy Spirit and not
by some great kind of preaching frankly I'm
just a street preacher and I'm just speaking
to you from what I believe Christ gave
me in my room this afternoon and I
said that to come to this point we
are so much like these people Lord if
you will do this for me I will
believe you and a mother came to me
just recently said my daughter has turned against
the Lord completely because my husband just died
and my daughter knelt by his bedside for
three weeks and said Jesus if you will
heal my father I will give you my
life but God doesn't make deals like that
He didn't do it in the synagogue and
He'll not do it now you trust Him
because He's God He's Creator God He's Almighty
and He will not make a deal but
you do this for me I've heard drug
addicts say if you can just take this
desire for drugs away Jesus I'll trust you
no deal there was no faith in Him
as God too familiar there's some young people
listening to me right now you're bored with
Jesus you're not thinking of Him as God
you're not thinking of Him as the God
who can come into your room at night
and hear that broken heart cry and that's
why you pick up the telephone and you
speak to all of your friends for hours
you keep saying if I could just have
somebody to talk to and you grew up
with Jesus you grew up in the church
and you do not acknowledge Him as God
if you did you would go to Him
you would just get along with Him and
you would talk to Him Jesus, you're the
Christ you're God with all power you can
take these evil desires out of my mind
you know my friend who's broken my heart
you know all the things that I suffer
and if you really believed that He was
God you would never turn to anyone else
you would go to Him to find satisfaction
for every need in your life I'm a
minister I walk with God but I need
to know every day and remind myself every
day even when temptations come and when my
wife faces another operation and when I see
the problems coming from all sides it's not
just the man Jesus to be my friend
I need a God I need Almighty God
and I need to trust Him and say
Jesus, God, I give you my problem I
trust you to keep me from the wickedness
and filth of this age I don't want
to become just too familiar with Christ too
familiar with Jesus rather and forget He is
God and miss His heart can I tell
you before concluding a story that will explain
the heart of God that's expressed through Jesus
Christ our Lord years ago a married couple
came to our center James and Mary he
was a drug addict and she was an
alcoholic she prostituted to support both their habits
his mind was so burned out on drugs
he could hardly speak more than one or
two sentences at a time she looked like
a skeleton his cheeks were sunken, his eyeballs
were yellow they didn't know where they were
even sleeping on the streets they said we
heard that God can change lives here would
you please help us we took Mary and
James in what a miracle Christ saved them
they started gaining weight color came back to
her hair the yellow disappeared from his eyes
but best of all God healed his mind
I didn't know he was a genius he
had been a genius he had been a
very intelligent man but he had burned it
all out three months later he said Pastor
David God's put such a hunger in my
heart I want our life to count I
don't want us just to be a husband
and wife I don't want to just find
a job I'm not a lazy man but
there's so many like me so many like
Mary and this gospel I know works and
I have such a hunger for this book
and I know that knowing this book is
the secret of living for Christ he said
I want to know it in Greek and
I've met a Jewish rabbi who said he'd
teach me he said do it in one
year he mastered Greek he said I want
to go to Bible college don't have any
money I said we'll send you and he
goes to the Bible college in another year
he masters Hebrew he knew more than I
did the Hebrew teacher said I can't teach
you anymore you know more than I do
became a brilliant writer went to California after
graduating from seminary started a prison ministry he
and his wife were wonderful workers for 10
years it was a very successful program and
somehow at the end of that 10 year
period Mary began to grow cold toward the
Lord she was not into the word anymore
or prayer she went out one night and
got a drink and it started her on
a downhill road she started going to bars
and getting drunk she wouldn't come home some
nights and he called me one day he
said Pastor David I don't know how to
tell you but my wife is taking a
fall back to alcohol and he told me
the story he said some nights I have
to go out and find her in a
bar room and I love her and it's
tearing my heart to see her in the
arms of other men he said I've had
to pick her up from the ditch some
night so drunk she can't understand why I
still put up with her she said James
you need to put me out of the
house he kept praying for her kept ministering
to her months later he called me he
said Brother David I can't find my wife
it's been three days I've been to every
prison I've been to every bar I've been
up and down the streets he said I'm
so heartbroken now that was in California I
was living in Texas I said I'm going
to send you a ticket I want you
to come and visit at our house he
left my telephone number in his office and
I picked him up in Dallas, Texas what
a broken man and he said Brother David
I love Mary I said James if that
was my wife I would never look at
her again I would never touch her again
prostituting passed from man to man bruised how
could you love her he said I can't
explain it but I'll take her back if
I could just find her and he said
I've come to the end of myself three
days with me praying for his wife we
got a telephone call it was Mary she
said can I talk to James she had
gotten his number that he had left in
the office Mary where are you she said
I'm in a hospital he said no wonder
I couldn't find you she said you still
love me he said of course I do
she said come and get me I gave
him tickets met them at the airport again
he had to hold her she could hardly
walk black and blue marks on her face
she had been beaten up they had found
her in a ditch we had a guest
house they went into the guest house she
laid on the couch he goes and gets
hot towels and starts pressing it on her
face he said Mary I love you my
wife and I just stood back I turned
to my wife I said I don't understand
this I was angry why would he dare
love a woman like this he's just a
man can you imagine the love of Christ
he sent me to heal the broken heart
the blind and the bruised she represented everything
Jesus talked about the third day she was
able to walk we were out in the
country there was a country road she would
walk with James on the third day Gwen
and I went to the house I said
Mary it's time to talk to Jesus you've
come back to James it's time to come
back to Jesus you know he loves you
she said I feel nothing there's no way
God could love me if he only knew
what I have done she said not even
James knows what I have done and I
had so much gospel light I sinned against
a Christ that loved me so much there's
no forgiveness for me I can't pray I
can't get it out I said can you
say Jesus just say Jesus very quietly she
said his name said say it again the
third time tears started coming to her eyes
and suddenly the Holy Spirit came down in
the room and Mary was restored not only
to James but to Christ the joy of
the Lord returned to her heart on the
next two weeks was a honeymoon with Jesus
and James and Mary for something to behold
they went back to California and they did
a marvelous work four years ago James died
from a liver problem he got when he
was on drugs for four years Mary carried
on the ministry this past year Mary went
to be with Jesus as long as I
live I will never forget the love I
saw in a man's heart for the most
broken down person I've ever seen and if
a man can love like that how much
more does my Savior love you in your
battle and in your struggle no matter what
you've done I need everybody to stand no
clapping please, just stand if
you've been to any of our meetings you
know we don't put on a show it
has to be the work of the Holy
Spirit I'm giving you what I feel the
Holy Spirit gave me to preach the Lord
knew you would be here tonight He knew
what to say to you and it was
all about you now let me speak to
you what I believe is the word of
the Holy Spirit I want to talk to
everybody 21 years of age and under first
I want to talk to those who know
Jesus you've grown up with Jesus you're a
church person you're a Christian but here you
are tonight and you've been just familiar but
you don't know Him as God you don't
know how to just bring your heart to
Him and while I'm speaking you know who
you are you're the one who knows if
you need God to bring a miracle to
your life God made me a promise
that every broken heart here tonight everyone that's
wounded if it's a divorce a pending divorce
a marriage problem I can't describe your hurt
but just as sure as the Father sent
His Son to preach to the hurting and
the wounded God sent me here tonight and
put me in this place and He puts
you right where you're at it's not just
an accident and I'm doing exactly what Jesus
did I'm here and I speak His word
I'm just His ambassador and what I'm saying
to you comes from His heart I'm here
tonight to heal you I'm here to open
your eyes I'm here to change your life
and listen to me closely not just to
make you better not just to break a
habit but to make your life count and
if you're going to come to Jesus tonight
to make a new consecration of your life
I want you to understand what it means
you're coming here to say right in the
face of God I want my life to
count I want you to use me I
want to help others I want my life
to mean something I don't want to be
bored with Christ I'm going to pray and
while I'm praying if you feel the tongue
of the pull of the Holy Spirit I'll
pray with you tonight and we'll believe God
for a miracle and we'll just get out
of your seat even if you don't know
Jesus if you've never received Christ as Lord
or you have run from Him you've been
growing cold and indifferent toward Him He's here
to restore you and heal you no one
has screamed at you tonight no one has
used psychology on you it's just the Holy
Spirit speaking clearly to your heart this is
your night this is the first day of
a new beginning while I pray I want
you to get out of your seat and
come and just stand here I am not
at all interested in just packing this front
if only ten people came now you'll see
many, many coming but it's not just good
this is life and death I'm going to
pray and up there in the bleachers in
the back, follow this building Holy Spirit is
talking to your heart come and follow these
that are coming Heavenly
Father send the Holy Spirit do what you
promised me you would do that you would
heal every broken hearted person every wounded heart
everyone who's been bruised and broken if they
would come with an open heart if they
would come believing that you're God you'll do
what God does you will do the work
of God and you will do the miracle
in our hearts moving close come
as close as you can do you want
more of Jesus?
I said do you want more of Jesus?
do you want a revelation of Jesus as
being God that can solve all your problems
heal every hurt that's in your heart come
while my friend just sings this song we'll
wait for you just for you I live
I want to know you more I desire
to stand where you want me I
desire to live just for you I
live I desire more I desire more more
than breathing more than seeing everything more than
living more than anything and as time goes
by I want to stand by your side
I'll never go back to where I was
I've had a tired spell and I need
to go and sit down and my son
is going to come and minister to you
I need the same miracle that you're praying
for a healing in my body just like
you need a healing in your spirit we're
going to pray for you my son Gary
is a man of God how many believe
the Holy Spirit's here tonight?
Amen, let's believe in faith often times when
my father's preaching he feels the pain of
those he's preaching with and he's feeling your
pain tonight it's a burden on his heart
and if that's just a man how much
more does Jesus feel your pain know your
sorrow and see every hurt the Bible says
He knows every hair on your head He
has them numbered and how much more would
He know the pain and sorrow of your
heart but there's good news a lot of
people can know your pain a psychiatrist can
know your pain and they can help you
to some degree but Jesus can forgive you
and cleanse you and give you life, eternal
life and joy, a new beginning do you
need that tonight?
lift your hand up to Jesus we're going
to pray a prayer of faith I want
this whole auditorium to be praying for these
who have come forward Jesus, we're trusting in
You now to do that miracle and even
as my father here tonight is barely able
to stand because of the sense of great
pain in this place Jesus, You don't want
to stand for it either You want to
set people free right now the broken heart
is free those who are bound by sin,
free those who are wounded deep in their
soul are free we thank You Jesus that
You're the God of freedom the God of
new beginnings the God of wonderful life and
we thank You Jesus that You never have
a message proclaimed without supporting it with Your
power so come in power now Jesus speak
to people's hearts tell them Jesus that You're
there for them look at me just for
a moment Jesus called you here it's not
a mistake you're here how many of you
a friend invited you?
let me see your hand if a friend
invited you here tonight and you didn't even
know you were coming you didn't even know
you were coming until recently do you know
that Jesus called you here?
young man, do you know Jesus called you
here?
yeah, you too, yeah, you have you ever
given your life to Jesus before?
no, how old are you?
seventeen, do you know anything about Jesus?
not much, do you know that He loves
you?
you don't know that?
before this night is over you're going to
sense something in your heart about the love
of Jesus because God said God is alive
and He always tells the truth and He
said He loves you so much that He
sent His only Son and if you believe
in Him He'll give you life you want
that right now?
good, good is there anybody else that doesn't
know Jesus and you want Him tonight?

Him tonight lift your hand up lift it
up high amen, amen pray with me dear
Jesus, I don't know you but tonight I
want to know you I feel something I'm
starting to believe something I don't know all
about it but I know I want what
I feel I know I want what I'm
hearing and all I know is that it's
you Jesus so forgive me of my sins
of running away from you and come into
my heart and save me Jesus and give
me life Jesus hallelujah, the Bible says that
if you confess with your mouth that Jesus
will be your Lord He'll save you one
of my best friends he was a drug
addict he came to a meeting like this

went back to the park he was living
in and he was smiling from ear to
ear his friends said, what happened to you?

know anything about Jesus but I know he
feels good and I know I'm different inside

his friends and they all met Jesus there
