MEN'S HEARTS WILL FAIL THEM FOR FEAR

 

DAILY DEVOTIONAL – January 10, 2024 Knowing the Ways of God By David Wilkerson We are facing a time when the word “deliverance” will take on a whole new meaning. In the past, Christians have thought of deliverance mainly as physical healing. Soon, however, the greatest deliverance will be from fear and terror. Deliverance at that time will mean having a “sure word from heaven.”  Jesus said that men’s hearts will fail them for fear as they see the awful things coming on the earth (see Luke 21:26).   Indeed, people will clamor to know what God is going to do next. They will turn in all directions, wanting to hear the voice of someone who is calm, peaceful and not going crazy. They will cry, “Please tell me! Is this God’s judgment? When is it all going to end?” Who do you think is going to have the answers? It will be you, the ordinary Christian who has been shut in with God.  You will be full of calm and peace while everything is falling apart because God is with you, and you’re hearing from heaven. He warned you this was coming, and he promised to protect you. I believe God is going to use his people in these last days to stir multitudes, revive pastors and awaken churches. God will use us to turn people’s hearts back to God by bringing them to repentance through prayer and godly reproof of sin. When I speak of a holy remnant in training, I do not mean an army of preachers, evangelists and missionaries.  I am talking about ordinary lovers of Jesus who, with peace and calm, point others to him. God doesn’t want a professional army trained in man’s methods. He wants men and women who are trained in prayer by the Holy Spirit. He is seeking believers who have spent time with him, preparing their hearts and learning to hear his voice. Does this describe you?  Is your life a witness to a scared and shaken world? I urge you to get alone with God and let him speak to you. Ask him to reveal the sin in your life. Make yourself available to him by giving yourself to prayer.  Through time spent with him, you will then be prepared to stand on the front lines and proclaim his love to the world!
