David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

May 31, 2022

Multitudes have declared that they follow Christ; yet the majority of these people, including many who are in ministry, have forsaken Jesus as their source of power. Why?

You see, something happens when we cross the line into the Holiest of Holies. The moment we enter our Lord’s presence, we realize all flesh must die. This includes all desire for spiritual excitement, talk of great revivals, focus on deliverance and seeking out some new work or movement. This is the moment many believers realize how costly it would be to give up relying on their own flesh.

Jesus has to become your everything. He alone is to be your source of excitement and constant revival. He is to be your continual word of direction, your new grace every morning. Once you cross the border, you can no longer rely on gifted teachers, anointed preachers or powerful evangelists. If you still seek out men instead of Christ — rushing from meeting to meeting, looking for some person to bless you — then you’re not satisfied with Jesus. He must be all to you.

Abraham was called “a friend of God” (see James 2:23) because of his intimate relationship with the Lord. A friend is someone who freely gives his heart to another, and clearly the Lord shared his heart with Abraham. God himself testified, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” (Genesis 18:17, NKJV). Indeed, Paul declares, “God…preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand” (Galatians 3:8). In other words, the Lord showed Abraham great things to come.

Abraham knew Jesus was our promised possession. He saw a victorious Jesus bringing down all principalities and power. He saw the victory of the cross and many nations streaming into the Promised Land, possessing their promise: Christ himself. These people weren’t striving to enter or making empty promises to God. They were possessing their promise by faith alone, trusting God’s Word to them.

Have you possessed your Promised Land? Have you laid hold of the provision and blessing that Jesus won for you at the cross? I urge you, make Jesus your life, your everything. Take up God’s invitation to you and enter into the peace and rest of your everlasting possession, Jesus Christ, the Lord.
