David Wilkerson - Get Ready For The End Of All Things - Must Watch Sermon

Lord give us your word now and speak clearly to our hearts Lord we need you you need to hear from heaven and we're trusting you now in Jesus name Amen first Peter fourth chapter first Peter the fourth chapter getting ready for the end of all things first Peter the fourth chapter only just a few verses starting verse 7 please 1st Peter 4 beginning verse 7 but the end of all things is at hand now that's pretty blunt he gets up before his people and in his letter he writes the end has come instead and be there for sober and watch unto prayer and above all things have fervent charity among yourselves for charity shall cover the multitude of sins thank you Jesus now in second Peter 1:14 he has just announced the Lord has shown me that I'm going to die Lord show me that my time has come and so he comes to the people now as a dying man he comes as if to say I'm soon going to be with my Heavenly Father I'm soon going to be with Christ so I'm going to give you my final word he said I want you to know the end of all things is at hand it's right at hand he said well that was written 2,000 years or so ago but folks if it were true then it's all the more true now at the end of the very last of the last days and he said I'm going to tell you what God expects and what he wants of you I'm going to tell you how to become secure I'm going to tell you how to prepare for the end times and you see he says nothing about the economy he says nothing about the loss of houses and life he says nothing about where to put your money nothing about safe havens and he comes with this and I got a letter from somebody read one of my prophetic books about how God's going to keep his people in the coming depression and he said I wrote to you Pastor Dave in good faith then I believe that you're an honest righteous man and I ask you where I should put my money I some safe place to put my money because he said really if God's warning us he wouldn't be a very good God if he didn't tell us how to survive and he was trying to put me on the spot and he said I I want to know I don't want any theological cop-out he said that's what you preachers do you pop out and just say go pray because everybody told pray and get the mind of the Holy Ghost for yourself and he said I feel cheated he said I wanted to hear certainly God would have a word he not warned us unless he gave us a way to survive and I get letters like that and already since I mentioned my topic how to prepare for the end of all things some of you feel like well brother Dave this was an ounce of it well pastor Dave's going to give us some good advice on where to put our money and help us get fixed for the hard times that have already started that that's a good honest question we all ask those questions but folks this is not going to make sense to you till we get to the last half of the message and you'll see why Peter goes with this message as he says first of all be sober in other words don't panic that's his first advice no matter what happens and there's many Christians right now in panic who have who have believed and testified all their life time that the Lord was their keeper we sink Jehovah Jireh we sing all these wonderful songs about how good god is and is going to keep us in the hard times there is a human nature in us that responds and we have to bring it under the word we have to bring it under the control of faith but he's saying be sober first of all be sober and the second he says go to prayer he said you you wonder why you're confused you wonder why you're in turmoil you wonder why you're in panic and you're not sober in these times and he's saying the worst gets blacker the night the more you should be walking in soberness and the peace and the rest of the Holy Ghost that's what he says as hard as that sounds that is that's what I'm telling you God told me before he takes me home I'm telling the Church of Jesus Christ in my day and in the days to come they are going to be hard and difficult times and Peter describes those time mockers and scoffers are going to come they're going to be those preaching deception in our churches they're going to be preachers of covetousness and materialism he goes on to describe all of those things that are coming in he says don't panic be at peace about it and then he says go to prayer and folks that there is where I go every time fear tries to rise in my spirit every time there's another news report that seems to just be overwhelming I go to the Lord I go to my knees and that's the answer to all the stress problems I just saw in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that all over Wall Street now they have a whole hour and and many of the corporate leaders are are into yoga and into Chinese mantras and they're trying to calm their stress and it in some offices now it's mandatory that you go and take yoga so that you can calm yourself well folks we have a savior we have a promise and we are going to be a testimony that we know how to handle stress we've got a little room we go into it's called the secret closet tell that to the world here's a world here's a world looking at crystals hoping beings will come out of those crystals and they're people doing yoga and quoting Chinese mantras that they don't know what means mm-hmm yet then you tell them you've got a secret closet where you go and you come out strong and they're gonna say you're crazy stupid what do you mean a secret closet well what do you know about yoga I've got somebody that takes all my stress away King of Kings I meet him right in that you meet you meet God yes we meet God in the secret closet of prayer and then he he goes on he said in verse 8 and above all things above all things above all preparations above everything you think about how to survive in the end times he said I'm going to give you word and this this is the issue and you have to deal with this and this is mind boggling at first he says above all things have fervent on fire mercy and love for your brothers and sisters he said what are you saying you know if you want to really know what survival is about if you know where God is taking his people you have to have this unconditional love for your brothers and sisters where race has no there's there's no barrier in race no until this church has over 100 nationalities of all colors and all nations and I want you to know this church is under attack for that very reason many times it would not be under attack if it were just all white or all black are all Hispanic there are churches like that and thank God for them but this is a special thing that God is doing here in New York City and has done a hundred or more nationalities loving one another without racial prejudice and this is what the Apostle says Peter says this is the issue in the how that there is a love there's an utter in the front it says Times Square Church the church that love is building it doesn't say the church that loves its building it says Church that love is building hallelujah he says the reason for this is because this kind of love covers a multitude of sins it covers a multitude of sins now here's the issue and I want you to listen very very closely Paul said if you want to be ready for what God is going to do because I'm going to show in just a minute that in the end times that I've already told you I gave away my secret before I started the breach there's coming a latter rain of the Holy Spirit we're going to we're going to go into that and this is where Paul this is where Peters going this is where he's going with this message what are you saying what God is about to do cannot happen it will be hindered unless these things are dealt with in the body of Jesus Christ anything of prejudice any member of the body of Christ now we can't forgive that those who sin against God we can't forgive those sins we can't cover those sins but but he said I can't move the Holy Spirit it is is going to come in a great rain upon this earth he said it can't happen in a church it can't happen among a people where there are those that are holding grudges when there are those who say they love one another but they can come and they can worship they can they if they Sam a part of the body of Jesus Christ here and and yet they come week after week week after week and they have not forgiven they've not forgiven somebody who hurt or wounded them they've not hurt they've they've not resolved this issue it just stays there day after day and week after week and in the Bible says we're not only to forgive but were to cover the sins of those who sinned against us now it may have been a wife or a husband a divorce situation it could have been a church a whole group that wounded you and hurt you it could be an individual or group of individuals it could be a husband a wife it could be family and there are those sitting in this church now and I say it with love and and compassion I'm telling you this will hinder what God is going to do in the church it's going to hinder what he wants to do in your life and in your home this has to be dealt with is there anyone that you you have a difficult time forgiving you say well I've forgiven but I can't forget well then you haven't forgiven the Bible says and this love that God expects of us is so vast and so all-encompassing he said now you not only forgive but you do everything you can to cover their sin don't broadcast and this is what happened somebody grieves us someone wounds if someone rejects us and we tell it everywhere we get on the phone I just have to get this off my heart you'll never know what they did to me and we name names and we we in places and we go we go down deep into this pit and then we say I'm only telling you this so you can pray with me I'm only telling you this because I'm concerned about them and they may lose the touch of God for what they did to me it should be more concerned about whether you lose the touch of God because you didn't cover the sin I can cover anyone who sins against me I have that authority I have in fact I'm commanded to do just that and that's what the Apostle Peter is saying this love you want to be ready for all things you'll be ready for the coming of Lord you want to be ready when the bottom drops out of everything you want to be ready make sure that you have nothing hindering the flow of the Holy Spirit there's something wonderful coming I don't want to be left out if you have wounded me and I don't know about it if you talked about me behind my back and you wounded me I I'm glad I don't know but I forgive you I don't I don't I can't name a grudge I have against anybody because I know what happens I know I lose the anointing of the Holy Spirit and I know that that I have I have roadblocks I've got stumbling block in my life you should be able to sit in this church today and go over in your memory of that thing that is in your heart and some of you are visiting here God's speaking to you to who is it who is it that you have such a hard time getting that out of your system you I just can't I talked to a pastor recently a group of Ministers really hurt him and I was aware of the situation hurt him deeply and I talked to him he said you know brother Dave I I've been preaching for years but I just can't forgive them I can't do it and he said my wife will never forgive and she was in deep bitterness this this he said you want to be ready there's a context here in which people a wide context the Peters talking about he's seeing something coming and he wants the church to be ready now if all all you want is for God to give you food and shelter now as a father I want that for my children and grandchildren and and and I want him to divide all my physical needs he's promised to do that you see Peter didn't go there he didn't go there about advice on unphysical preparations he didn't go there because you see he knew poverty he knew what is like no not have a cent suckle in his pocket because the only money had at times was came out of a fish's mouth this man had one change of clothes he had one pair of sandals this this man had proven God's faithfulness so that wasn't an issue with him that that he can't even imagine Christians not believing that the Lord would provide I've been down that way he said this is the preparation I want you to talk about I want you to focus on there's an issue here I want you to look into your heart and I your to love even your enemies your scripture says you know Jesus didn't give advice on how to repair physically other than in Jerusalem he said when you see the armies coming free from Jerusalem you don't find him that he says don't give any thought about tomorrow because it's going to take care of itself and I'm going to take care of you don't worry about what you're going to eat what you're going to drink or wow you're going to be clothed don't give it any thought you won't find Jesus going there you won't find Peter going there yo the Apostle Paul doesn't go there they had proven God hey you have proven God already you have proven God faithful up to this hour he's never failed you yet he's brought you out of every situation he's taking care of you financially you are not in poverty you have a roof over your head you have food on your table and he's going to see you through all right I want to go into this matter of the spirit coming down and this is this this is the contact of which Peter is speaking now he said there's a great rain coming you'll find that all through this New Testament you find it in the prophets especially but there's a prophecy in the Old Testament that there's coming there's been a former reign of theirs Lateran the Bible talks about two rains and and Moses told Israel he said there can be no harvest unless there's a lot latter rain the first rain the early rain came in the spring and it watered the seed and the blade and the grass or the forming of it but he said that comes before the harvest before the full grain of corn there has to be another rain it's called the latter rain now years ago there was a Pentecostal movement called themselves the latter rain now some say they got in I don't know all the circumstances or the history of that movement and they said it went into error but they they had a truth they had something from the heart of God and I believe he's going to restore this truth to the Church of Jesus Christ Moses said there's a early rain but there can be no harvest until there's a latter rain here's here's the scripture he will give you the rain in your land in due season the first and the latter rain so you may gather in the corn the wine of the oil he said you'll have you're going to have a rain that ripens the harvest and beloved the early rain came at Pentecost in the Upper Room that was the rain that watered the seed of the word that watered the message of Jesus Christ and it began to grow and spread but now folks in the last days when the world is trembling and gross darkness covers the world there is no way Jesus would come without now he can come at any moment but he promises there will be a latter rain and he says ask rain in the time of the latter rain we're to ask rain the Prophet said you're to believe God and ask him and believe that this latter rain is promised in the scripture and that is to come the Prophet Zechariah saw the outpouring of the Spirit last days he said ask II the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain and the Lord shall make bright clouds and he will give you showers of rain and everyone shall have grass in their field everyone shall have grass there's going to be a harvest he said there the field is going to be ripe Jesus said they're white unto harvest now Satan knows this he knows what is written in the scripture he knows that there's a tremendous incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit before the harvest and he's going to come against the Church of Jesus Christ knowing what is coming he saw what happened in the early rain he saw the growth of the church around the world every kindred and every tongue and every nation and he saw the power of the Holy Spirit he saw what happens when the Holy Spirit comes down and so the latter rain Satan knows what is about to happen folks there's there's no way that the Lord is going to take his church out of this world limping and broken and fearful and just broken in spirit and mind and soul no no no no he's not coming and allow Islam to take over the harvest you're not going to let anybody the harvest is his the harvest the Bible said is the end of the world and we've come to the end of things we've come the beginning of the end now I don't know how many years I'm not going to go to the Prophet prophetic times I don't know that much about what happens after Jesus comes I've not been a scholar in that at all but I know from what I'm reading in the scriptures and more I read the more my faith rises there is a coming out pouring of the Holy Spirit beyond Pentecost beyond what happened in the Upper Room but you see Peter knew what had to happen in early day Pentecost they had what they call waiting on the Lord they in the upper room they waited on the Lord now they weren't waiting just for a calendar date Pentecost was fully come but God was doing something he's doing just what Peter's talking about there had to be forgiveness Peter had to be forgiven because he wounded the body of Christ he wounded every one of them and there had to be an outflow of love in that Upper Room God's dealing with things Peter could not stand up there and be anointed of the Holy Ghost he can't stand there if people later some of the Apostles and there's James and John who had boasted they were better than the other disciples and had this pride and they're sitting there they have to be cleansed they have to be forgiven by the body of Jesus Christ and their sins have to be covered they have to be able those men have to be able to look at Peter later when the Holy Spirit gives him the authority and he preaches what the Pentecost is all about and there can't be something in their heart was a who made you the leader who made you the pastor who made you who gave you this special anointing no they said back they didn't care who got the honor they knew the Holy Ghost was there and they were covering nobody dare speak against Peter because Peter is safe now in the house of God he's among people who don't blab what Peter did nobody's talking about it in this Upper Room they're talking about the Holy Ghost and they're getting free because they're loving they're forgiving and they're covering do you understand where Peters going he said there's an outpouring of holy spirit and he comes only to those who are prepared they were prepared in the upper room all folks I still believe while waiting on the Lord though yes the Holy Ghost was given but there's something about waiting in the presence of the Lord where he's allowed to deal with these issues in our heart and so we can have this forgiveness and we can have this strength and power takes power to forgive it takes even more power and grace to cover somebody's sin after they've wounded or rejected or hurt you and God wants to pour out his spirit of this church as we have never known who seen he wants to save multitudes and he's going to do that but first he's coming to purge his body he's coming to cleanse and he's not doing it with a rod or whip in his hand he's doing it through brokenness and a humble word a compassionate call don't let anything hinder the glory of the Lord that's coming don't let anything hinder the moving of the Holy Spirit in your family don't let anything don't don't be a hindrance to the work of God and what he wants to do well if you belong if you worship here Time Square Church and you feel this is your church home god help us all help me help every pastor help everyone acquire an orchestra and everybody of this body to be able to walk through these doors and sit here and raise your hands and worship Him and you know there's nothing there between you and the Lord there's no hindrance that your heart is open and if you if you've been sinning if you fail God you come to the blood of Jesus Christ folks the blood has never lost its power and I have to believe that he will give us through the power of his blood it the crosses not in vain has not been in vain if there's not a not poriyal holy spirit these last days why was there an early Pentecost why was there an early rain look at all these all of these many years since the first outpouring the early rain do you mean to tell me that the Lord when we need the Holy Ghost the most when we need the Holy Ghost to survive daily when we need the power of the Holy Ghost to be his witness when everything is shaking in the darkness is here we have got to have an anchor the Holy Spirit comes to reveal Christ he comes to dig deep into our spirits to make this vessels made worthy through the righteousness of Jesus Christ hallelujah and what Zechariah said is wake up Church the Holy Spirit and the glory is going to fall upon nations so many people feel helpless but folks this this can't be worked up this is a prophetic word and you have to allow and ask the Holy Spirit to increase your faith to believe and stand on his word Hagee I stands before it discouraged people there there remembering the glory of the old temple the old tabernacle is gone and now God is doing a new work and they're building a temple now that seems so insignificant to what God did in the past and they're standing there weeping in the Prophet Haggai I think is in a chapter he says I see you looking at what God is doing here now he said some of you lived then who is 60 to 70 years apart and some of them is still living and when they were young they saw the glory of that first work of God what a great work God did back then you hear that a lot about the revivals of the past what God did back then all the glory we had and all the wonderful meetings we had and people got saved and we carried half the night and and that's wonderful thank God thank God I have those wonderful memories hidden in my heart and the Prophet looked at these people downcast and looking at that and he says who's left among you that saw the house in its first glory and how do you see it now is it not in your eyes in comparison as if it's nothing do you understand what this is saying some of us who welcome God for years we remember the Moving's of the holy s--t remember the great things God did but the Prophet Haggai says not look at that you're discouraged and you you you think that this is nothing and that that we are you're just waiting and zeal that there's no glory left and and we've been overwhelmed overwhelmed with the darkness we've been so overwhelmed with what is happening we get overwhelmed at the fury of the devil we get overwhelmed of the homosexual militancy and our courts making laws that we don't agree with and never asked for never voted for and we get overwhelmed with the fury of Satan among us we get overwhelmed with the darkness overwhelmed with the thought we've sinned away our day of grace overwhelmed the fears and doubts and that's what happened they're saying that in their minds are saying well this is nothing we have nothing to rejoice about God's not doing anything this is so insignificant no Haggai says fear not when God said this in Haggai to five my spirit remains among you my spirit is still at work and then he turns to the people says I'm telling you the glory of this house is going to be greater than the first house the rain that's coming is greater than the early rain there's a latter rain so take away that frown lift up holy hands because the rain is coming and God's Spirit is moving and I'm not going to let the devil and let me be downcast I don't want my eyes on on what God is doing is say it's so insignificant America has not sinned away it's day of grace the world has not sinned away it's day of grace the revival is just begun the rain is beginning to fall hallelujah I got so excited last night because I was reading in the book of Revelation he said first the blade then the ear and then the full corn of the ear see it everything is ripening now the scripture says in Revelation 14 15 thrust in the sickle and begin to reap for the harvest of the earth is ripe and then I went on and I read this in Revelation 14 14 the verse prior to what I've just read to you and I got so excited I I went into the bedroom went and was retiring I'd been in my study last night and I said when I'm I am shouting inside and I walked back and forth in our apartment down the street behold he comes in a cloud a crown on his head and a sickle in his hand what's a sickle that long harvesting think that big sharp blade on it where you just mow down the harvest and the Bible says of our Christ hallelujah he's not there just hoping the Saints he'll hold on maybe not they're surprised at the darkness behold he comes in a white cloud sent with me a crown on his head and his sickle in his hand that makes me want to jump a crown on his head say it a crown on his head and a sickle in his hand folks it's harvest time on Wall Street in the Bowery uptown downtime New Jersey and all over this nation and around the world don't worry to God harvest time it's beginning to rain holiday do you believe it will you stand do you see what Peter saying now folks remove everything that hinders because the glory is coming like you've never seen or no experience the glory of the Lord you know what that glory is the manifest presence of Jesus Christ we will know its presence as we've never known it we will know him as we've been ever known him and people are going to be open to the gospel he's going to melt hard hearts and many others is going to bring through calamity where they have no place to turn but to God and we will be ready with a message of hope and not despair now and prayer I ask the Holy Spirit how I was to close this service and it's simply this Holy Spirit made known to me I don't know how many but in the overflow balcony here in the main auditorium there's some of you here that have a hindrance this thing has become has a stranglehold on you it's a root of bitterness a root and that root has to come out and it's dug in and you you don't want it anymore you want to be free of this you've
