The New Covenant 3 of 6 Handed Over to Death by David Wilkerson

handed over to death I want you to go with me please two acts the second chapter acts 2 if you go to Times Square Church you have your Bible with you everybody comes Time Square Church brings their Bible because we are a word Church in the word acts the second chapter beginning with verse 22 please you men of Israel hear these words Jesus of Nazareth a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you as you yourselves also know him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God you have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain whom God hath raised up having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible that he should be holding of it amen go with me now to second Corinthians if you will please second Corinthians the fourth chapter second Corinthians the fourth chapter turn right for your new believers just a few books to the right 2nd corinthians the 4th chapter verses 10 and 11 I'll wait until you're there all right begin follow me please verse 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus that the life also of Jesus might be manifest in our body for we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus sake that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh let's pray Heavenly Father speak from heaven today come upon me with a power function the noin ting of the Holy Ghost Lord I have nothing to bring of myself of my nature steal our learning nothing no God unless the word that I preach this morning anointed of the Holy Ghost it's a dead-letter sanctified this vessel Lord I know that I've been to your throne and at the throne you gave me this word but I don't know who it's for it's for me it's for anyone with an open ear and an open heart transform us by the word this morning let us walk out of here with a new knowledge an understanding of why we are where we're at and what is happening to us we'll give it you will give us a complete understanding by the knowledge of the Holy Ghost open our ears eyes and hearts I pray a man handed over to death all the day of Pentecost Peter declared these words that are read to him acts the second chapter this man speaking of Christ Peter said was delivered by the predetermined counsel or plan or foreknowledge of God and was crucified by the hands of wicked men and in the Greek dictionary it reads he was handed over to his enemies in other words given over to death according to the determined plan of God now what a strange deliberate act of God and as though he takes his own son in his hands and literally hands him over to death and says to death do with him what you will he was handed over to death by his own father what a strange incomprehensible thing that God the Father would not only stand by while death comes to claim him but in fact the Heavenly Father takes his own son in his hands and says the death here he is do with him as you please he was handed over to death now why would God in His determinate counsel give his own son over into the hands of death the answer is very very clear in Ex the second chapter and the 24th verse because it was not possible that he should be held by it God knew there was no risk involved God knew that he was going to go into death and swallowed up and concrete and come forth victorious that the only life that could change people would be that which comes out of death so God had a predetermined plan God was not going to leave him in the grave and those who teach that Jesus had to go down in his own power and strength and grab the keys of life and death out of the hands of the devil understand nothing in the scripture the Bible said God knew that it was impossible for death to hold him he went into the grave and God's plan be started in effect just when the devil is gloating I have conquered him because you see he was Lord of death at this time up to the cross he was Lord of death in fact death was an enemy to be feared the last enemy he destroyed his death the scripture says but Jesus went into the grave Jesus was placed in the hands of death and just as death believed it had conquered heaven all hell is rejoicing God sends his plan in action the predetermined plan of God he sent the Holy Ghost into the grave the Spirit of God stirred and moved on him and out of the grave came our blessed Savior right through the stole right through the rock a resurrected Savior Victor over death then he came out saying I am he that liveth I was dead and behold I am alive forevermore and I have the keys of death now in my hands [Applause] it was at Calvary that he was handed over to death that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is the devil God handed over his son into the very hands of death so that he could conquer the devil's power of death so that now the sting of death is gone there is nothing for the Christian to fear death is no longer in to me it has been conquered hallelujah whom God raised up having loosed him from the pains of death hallelujah now if you believe on Jesus Christ if he if you claimed that you testify that he is now the lord of your life that same resurrection power that Jesus was in dude with that brought him out of the grave that same power is in you everything that is in Christ is in you if Christ abides now listen to what the scripture says no you not yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you unless you're a reprobate now if you've been given over a reprobate mind if you've been given over to your sin and there's no there's no faith in you that's one thing but if you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ Christ is in you the Bible says there is resurrection life there is an incredible power in you and me against all the things that the devil brings that have to do with death there's a mighty power in you but folks it's one thing to have that power and be ignorant of that power or to have hindrances to that manifest power so that cannot come forth shine forth and bring life to others Paul tells us that just as Jesus was handed over to death everyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is also going to be handed over to death now listen to it I read to you in 2nd corinthians 4:11 again i repeat it for we which live we who have the life of christ in us we who are believers we who have made him Lord of our life are always delivered unto death for Jesus sake that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh we who we which live we will trusted in God we who have made him the life our very life we are going to be handed over God is going to take you in his hands and just as he did with price he going to give you over to Devin's that death do your part do what you will God knowing there's no risk for you either there is no risk in it because he knows something God in His determinant plan what a wonderful plan except a grain of corn go into the dust and until it goes into the ground and dies it can't bear fruit this great hand of God after in a season will not be a protective hand this great hand of God we are in the palm of his hand and that great hand will reach out and take your right to death's door and put you right in the jaw of death and says death do your part because death is going to win for Christ and for you the greatest victory you've ever known and it can only be accomplished by death hallelujah Paul said we who live I want to tell you something I read it I read a statement by a very godly man one of the great Puritan writers he said most of us are not pure enough are not mature enough for God to do as much harm because we're not ready we don't have the life of Christ in us but those who truly are full of the life of Christ you are going to experience this being handed over to death no we're not talking about physical death here now that's not what Paul's talking about in Corinthians Paul is talking about the kind of death he died everyday and in that context he's talking about he said for thy for thy sake we are killed all the day long every day's that I face a new death situation we are counted as sheep for the slaughter and in the Greek it means every day we are handed over to death every day there's a crisis he's talking about tribulation he's talking about distress persecution trouble being defamed perils of all kinds Paul said I think that God has set us the Apostles last as it were appointed to death or handed over to death for we're made a spectacle to the whole world and to angels and to men listen to what Paul says he said every day God arranges for me to be placed in a death situation where unless Jesus does it it can't be done unless Jesus gets me out I can't get out unless he does the work through the Holy Ghost it can't be done because I have nothing in me I am dead I have no life I have no strength he said in all my perils and all my sufferings these are death situations that he brings to every one of God's people if we have life we who live we who have his life are going to be handed over to death every day some kind of a death situation is going to come into your life and if you are floating through your Christian experience so happy no problems no life we will have life or handed over to death Paul said every day every day I face a death situation that we're talking about we said I die daily every day something's happening in my life a few amens aren't we yes for thy sake we are killed all the day long someone said that's me you know what the Apostle saying we who live we're constantly being given over to death situations one after another every day a new test some kind of new crisis a new distress some kind of persecution somebody is thrusting something at me somebody's gossiping me all the time somebody's defaming my character all the time every day there's a new problem here's a godly man full of the Holy Ghost a righteous holy man living in revelation knowledge walking in communion with Jesus but he's being buffeted he says he's being defamed he being persecuted he's been despised he's being harassed by demon powers he's been shipwrecked he's being stoned every time you turn around Paul's in trouble in fact Paul suffered so much many of his own children that he had raised in the Lord turned against him and said Paul is their sin in your life is this why you were suffering because every time you met Paul he's got his face bruised he's got bruise marks all over where you been while I was just over here and I got stoned Paul why are you why you're so heavy hard what you see everybody in Asia is turned against me I'm starting all these churches and and that even my leaders and I raised up returning against me I get probably with the churches and Paul weren't you get that tan well you see I was in the I was in a shipwreck and I was in the water for two weeks the Sun beating down and sharks and and and but Paul why where are the promises of God you preach how God protects you preach how God delivers why isn't he deserve you in fact it grieved Paul had hurt Paul deeply that people thought that his suffering was a result of his sin and he was having more trouble than anybody and here he is a preacher of the grace of God here's a preacher of the power of God and this man is hurting everywhere he turns everybody's gossiping about him everybody's defaming his name but he said I know what it's all about I'm a spectacle I'm on display to three intelligences and listen to me now every one of us who have life or handed over to death to be made a spectacle to these three intelligences to angels to the devil and all the hordes of hell and to men all these three intelligences are watching you you see when you're going through a trial and you're being tested and you have got death coming in at you to deal with these things that can do the manifestation of the life of Christ in us you see the life of crisis dammed up in many of you it's backed up because you got these hindrances and there's no life flowing at all you got it in you and it's building up and there's grace back there all you need and grace for your family grace for all around you but you've got hindrances there so God has to bring you and I into death situations to deal with that remove the entrances to the moving of God's grace every time you're tested it it's not some little test in some little kid in place you're not going through it all by yourself it's not just you or your husband or your family crust in your little house trying to figure things out going through the trial of your life no no no you've got a lot of people watch you got Devils watching you your good answers watching you you've got people watching you how are you going to respond how are you going to react you say your testimony was grace how do you react when the death situation is thrust upon you and you're put into the jaws of death not physical death but this spiritual battle we talking about here Paul said wherein I suffered trouble as an evildoer in other words being accused as an evildoer even under bonds he said I've got chains on my hands and I've got my friends in my own children in Christ telling me that their sin I'm an evildoer there was one man honest but by the name of honest sephorus was encouraged by this one to me said this man's not ashamed of my change he knows better he knows it's not a result of sin in my life in fact Paul was encouraged by in Hebrews don't turn but in the tenth chapter of Hebrews there were those who had said they they had compassion on my bonds in other words they're there they're feeling what I'm feeling and you know why they had compassion on their bonds because suddenly they had become companions and afflictions the same thing it was happened to Paul happened to them Bible makes it very clear he said you two were made at gazing stock both by reproaches and afflictions while ye have become companions of them that were so used you see I believe some of them may have accused Paul how is it that our past was going through such suffering why is it that that man a teacher is going through so much testing that elder why is that elder always suffering in his body why are some of these who pray and seek God oh why can't they be healed why must they live in pain all their lives and I believe some of them questioned Paul's integrity Paul's walk with God until suddenly the same things were happening Paul fell on them and they're not about to question their own spirituality Paul said you became a companion in my afflictions now you have compassion on me o folks don't dare tell somebody or think hey he's suffering because there's sin in his life that accident happened took his boy must be sin in his life that cancer that took a wife that cancer took a sister there must be something wrong god forbid lest you become a companion in affliction I know a very godly minister one of the most godly men I've ever known but this ministers been one of those buffeted and persecuted I've ever known every time I talked to this Minister there's another story there's a request for prayer of being this person being defamed and misunderstood and trial after trial physical suffering brought on by all of the troubles and I asked this Minister a point-blank it bothered meant I said why are you being so harassed by the enemy why are you a target as so much demonic activity I said you get up every morning and seek God uu prayer you're intimate with Jesus and it's a terrible thing that I was doing I look back now with sorrow because deep in my heart I was thinking what's wrong with your walk why are you going through this I don't go through that much III get suffering them of their seasons but I don't have at all the time and then this pastor I said every time I talk to you every time I made with you every time I hear about what you're going through it's amazing I know anybody suffered like you but now I know why we who live are handed over to death it's symptomatic of someone who has the fullness of the life of Christ and it's because that individual that minister God is trying to use in a mighty way and has given so much of this life he will keep handing that Minister over to death in every area of life until there's nothing to hinder that flow that God has given a manifestation of the life of Jesus Christ Paul was buffer to defame persecuted to hand it over his persecutors and thieves he's in prison shipwrecked maligned hated misunderstood because Satan was trying to destroy a manifestation that was about to come forth that you and I are still walking in the glow of Paul's great revelation of Jesus Christ what does it mean to be handed over to it to death situations what are we dying to Paul says we are handed over to death that the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh those filled with the life of Christ are absolutely made a spectacle to the whole world a public display Paul makes that so very very clear God knows those areas in our life that are hindrances to this manifestation of Christ to the world and to angels and to devils and he's going to keep bringing death situations into every area that hinders the flow of life for example suppose it's the hindrance is a fear of man a fear of man let's take that as an example that fear of man hinders a full manifestation of the life of Jesus Christ because it's an area that needs to be dealt with and so you know what the Lord will do he'll bring a death situation to pass he'll bring somebody into your pathway into your life it's going to lord it over you you're going to meet on the job you're going to meet somebody that that's just going to get to that they're going to bring fear on you and everything they do just adds to that fear until you're paralyzed with fear I've known people that are have such a fear of man in them that that somebody has come into their life could be a boss it could be somebody else it could be a work it could be anybody and in that individual brings fear after fear up to fear everything is Center it's done until till this person has the fear of man feels useless worthless belittled just chopped up and I have known people literally hyperventilate because of the fear somebody absolutely almost breathless and they said why is God allowing why did God let that person come into my life why did God allow this I'm a man or woman of God I pray why would God allow this because God brought in he's handing this individual over to death in this area this is a death situation where God says I can't use you in fulness that life cannot flow without with this hindrance in you I want you to realize that the fear of man is a hindrance to manifestation of the life of Jesus Christ it hinders the flow of life it cannot produce life and others it's got to go so I've arranged this death situation I've allowed it to dig it out you've got somebody lording it over you right now under John you say Oh God get me out of this no let death do its work face it say Lord you put me in this place you've arranged all this the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord even if it means God bringing somebody to lord it over you to get to this fear of death to get this fear of man out of you what about ambition you got ambition in you that's going to hinder the flow it's not going it's going to hinder the flow of the manifestation of the life of Jesus Christ in you you know what the Lord usually does I've seen this over and over again over the years God allow you you allow a tremendous door in front of you he'll let you take on the most ambitious big thing you've ever done in your life he'll let you step into something say I have got it made this is it finally my break he'll let you step into the most ambitious wonderful thing you've ever desired and let it fall apart on you fall to the ground in ruins and there you are in your ruins and you say oh god I don't understand because I prayed about this you bless me up to this point I thought this was it why why did you let it blow up in my face the Lord said I'm trying to show you you got ungodly ambition in you and that's going to hinder the true life and what you preach it may be ambitious but it will not be my spirit and it won't produce life it'll look good on the outside but it's not my spirit you see he brings a death situation to deal with it what about those who walk in great revelation oh how they glory in Revelation God is opening the word doctrine is being opened up to them they're being threatened they're so happy and they they go and many pastors do their stand and ministers Evander's standing I finally find the Bible principles to living an overcoming life and joy and victory and they got this big smile on their face all the time their glory and in Revelation their glory and in their doctrine is their glorying in the wonderful feelings they have and all of a sudden out of nowhere a dry spell comes horrible dry spell hmm the smile is gone the book seems closed until finally if he's honest before goddess he's honest as all God I I know nothing I've seen nothing I am nothing because you see God will bring a death situation to that he said you're going to die to this because you're not going to glory in anybody but me you're not going to glory in your revelations and that's why Paul had a thorn in his flesh that he'd not be lifted up and pride because of his revelations and if God is beginning to reveal things to you all folks humble yourself before God don't glory in the revelation don't glory in the doctrines glory in Jesus Christ and him alone and folks many of you right now you're going through a dry spell don't be afraid God's doing a good work hallelujah he's getting at something praise the Lord now that death process sometimes seems cruel it's very painful but if you allow death to do its work resurrection life is going to be manifest in and through you now when it said we died is something it simply means that that thing is no longer a power or dominion in your life that it's it's Dominion it may still be there as as as the lingering sin of the flesh but it no longer is an issue with you because God has brought it to death and so it's not a source of distraction anymore now Christians react differently when God brings a death situation it brings these daily death situations into the life a lot of Christians immediately when God sends these persecution trial or declamations or whatever maybe they said God get me out had enough he hadn't even started and their crime didn't had enough and so it was when my dad would bring the big belt out and I knew a spanking was coming from my disobedience and he'd say lean over the bed not was screaming my head off before he touched me and then when he put one or two you're killing me you're killing me my son little boy little little he was four years old and he was disobeying this is Gary's boy Ashley mother took him in a bedroom boys she gave him a spanking and he was yelling and screaming he came out and jumped on me said you've got to do something about that woman she gonna kill me [Applause] I thought of so many Christians god you're killing me that's what put we're killed every day said when Jesus was delivered into the hands and the jaws of death he went with peace and assurance in his heart because he had committed everything into the hands of the Father and I'm telling you unless you commit your life into the hands of the Father unless you believe that the life in you the life of Jesus Christ is so powerful that no death situation can destroy you it can't hold you it can't wipe you out you're not finished they're not going down you're not quitting hallelujah because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world for Paul he finally quit looking for relief from these death situations now I'm sure Paul had a tough time when he was a younger Christian a believer and his walk with the Lord was being tested I'm sure the first time he was shipwrecked he was said O Lord what about your promises God you said you keep me what happened I'm sure the first time he was thrown in prison he's in the stockade and it changed he would say well lord I don't understand this and I'm sure he prayed for delivered Lord opened the prison doors get me out of here even though he could sing in the middle of the night he was singing o Lord get me out but the second time Paul shipwrecked he's learned some lessons he said well Lord you must have a reason you said all things work together for good to them we love God in her called toward courting his purpose he's learned now that he said he's a spectacled and he said sink or swim i'm the lord's by the third time he's shipwrecked you know what Paul's saying all you angels are you devils and demons of hell all my brothers and all you Jews and are you Gentiles yes look at mama spectacle I'm going down again but I want you know I've got a word from God I am not finished it's not over [Applause] take a look at me della I'm coming out of this with the faith that's gold not only am i coming out of this I'm bringing everybody with me [Applause] forgive me for screaming folks I this he said I'm a speculum folks that's where faith has to bring us finally we're you so god I'm not looking for a time of peace how long are we going to suffer till Jesus comes or til you die and even then it's not going to be in anything but a victory for you he says disappointing brother no it isn't because it's going to produce a life of Christ in you and it's gonna and folks Paul the Apostle sums it up so beautifully oh by the way I I was thinking about this last night if you've gone up to Paul in his mature time his final years and you say Paul why didn't you faint all you've been through why didn't you faint you were pressed down on every side Paul he'd say yeah but I was never distressed by it but Paul you were so often perplexed yes but I never gave myself over to despair Paul you were persecuted more than anybody I know oh yeah but the Lord never first sucked me through any of it and Paul you were struck down with infirmities and pain and sorrows so many time in troubles Paul would say yes but none of it destroyed me and then he would have answer all of these our momentary light affliction and it's producing in me an eternal weight of glory far beyond any comparison all that going through he said it's producing something and that's why I'm I preached Paul this morning I preached Christ through Paul and his revelation we are still in the glow and the power of that life that was given Paul sums it up now he said in in 2nd Corinthians 4:5 death works in us but life in you you know what that's saying every minister every Minister the gospel until you've allowed death to come to your pride until you have died to ambition and lust and all the things of this world until you can stand in the pulpit a dead man you have to be able to say with Paul death has worked in me to such a point that now the manifestation of life comes forth and when I preach Paul says it produces life and everybody who hears it and where there are dead congregations there are dead preachers in other words other otherworldly preachers have not allowed death to be applied to their problems and their difficulties in their lives he sank every minister the gossip every teacher I'm taking you through trials I'm allowing things to come into your life you're going to have death situations almost every day of some kind or every week there will be one after another but I am removing obstacles I'm doing something in you that may bless others death works in you that life works in others that's why he comes to every parent here and it says if you want to see life in your children you spc spiritual life in your home your husband your wife if you want life to spring up in your home you have got to allow death to work in every area of your life until these things are dealt with if Pat if you're a husband or wife if you're a parent you're trying to deal with your children you've not allowed the Holy Ghost to deal with these things in your life and bring you to a death crisis there's no hope that there's any going to be any life in your home the life that's going to spring up going to come through you surrendering yourself when these troubles come and say oh Lord it's not because you're angry with me it's because you're trying to get it something at me and Lord deal with it bring it to death and out of that death bring life and he says to the singles that are here before I close every go person here all you who are single he's saying to you you've got three intelligences watching you those that you fellowship with those you go out to eat with those you call on the telephone those you work with those in the choir though all your friends in the ministry everywhere they're watching you angels are watching you the devil is watching you to see how you react when hard times come when trial hits you financial problems difficulties paying defamation of character how do you react to it do you go down and murmur and complain or do they see you standing firm in the Lord and say Oh God put death to everything in my life until I have nothing but confidence in Jesus to see me through all my problems and all my trials Lord kill me if necessary not physically but kill everything in me that is unlike you Jesus that there may be a river flow out of me we who live are handed over to death will you stand beloved I pray that this helps you understand if you're a devoted believer I hope this helps you understand why you're going through what you're going through and most of all look at me don't be afraid of tomorrow those who truly believe in the power of Christ in them never worry about tomorrow never worry about tomorrow but I will says tomorrow will take care of itself it's right now to yield till the Lord say Jesus I thank you for what you've brought into my life I thank you for my trials I thank you for the persecution I'm going through someone just sent me a notice a television evangelist you wouldn't know him perhaps he's in the West Coast but one of the company did him wrong the company that dealt with his church did it wrong he got on television and he says I never turned the other cheek he said I'm going to sue the daylights out of him I mean right tough television and everything I'm going to sue him for every penny they've got you see God had brought a death situation that man's life to show him what's in his heart and rather than let death do its work he rushed out in anger and revenge and that's what many people do now Christians who are in great trials and temptations and stress of all kinds they turn against the Lord they seek revenge they get angry and then what happens all of the grace that's meant for them just seeps out of their life they become nothing but an empty vessel sorrow upon sorrow with no joy you see you can go through anything if you know that God's doing something if you know that God's behind it you can endure anything hallelujah and there are things in my life that you would never know there are things about your life I would never know as far as as difficulties and sorrows and tribulations and troubles but I have a peace in my heart now because I know that God's got his hand on it all and all things are working together for good because I love him and I trust him hallelujah Heavenly Father I thank you for the truth that sets men free Lord you've brought the truth of your gospel to us this morning the Lord there are some this morning that have been reacting in a non christ-like way to what they're going through Lord there's some that have a member of their family facing death physical death because there's cancer there's heart problems there's difficulty there's pain there's sorrow and Lord there's this continual questioning of your faithfulness God did with that in your love bring death to those doubts and fears today and Lord for those are standing before me right now can't understand why things are not working out the way they thought they should work out and Lord the pain in their marriage pain caused by children they've gone astray they've hurt them divorce Oh God it's so important that we yield now to you and say live or die on the Lord's God has his hand on me God will do what is right but I'll not doubt him I will come forth believing that God is going to get joy and victory God is going to get glory out of this in my life because everybody going to see that I come through with faith and confidence in my god I'll tell the whole world no matter what I go through God is good god is faithful God will see me through I'm going to ask if you're in this congregation in the annex and here in the main auditorium I'm going to ask you this if you are going through a very deep testing right now you're in a one of those death situations I'm talking about say brother Dave I I want to respond right before God but I need help I need a touch from the Lord once you get out of your seat come forward now I'll pray with you and let's believe God now if you're backslidden you've been cold your heart's drifted away from the Lord come with these that are coming if you don't know Jesus come in the annex if you go to the lobby just turn around behind you into the lobby rushers will direct you into the stairs that come into this building you can come down this aisle meet me here I'll pray with you also up Annabel can you go to the stairs on either side and come down any aisle folks please move in close to make room for those that are coming many of you are here for the first time and God sent you here to get this message because he's dealing with you he's dealing with saying get things right today don't walk out a Time Square Church until you make a new commitment to the Lord don't walk out the way you came in say Jesus I'm gonna surrender to you completely please move in tight that's fine god bless you make room for these that are coming as we sing you've got to be convinced before we go another step be convinced absolutely convinced that God would not allow if you're his child he'd not allow anything your life to hurt you anything he's allowing is for his glory and your blessing so right now anything that's in your life anything you're going through you could you have to stop and say right now Lord I love you you're in my heart now even even if even if you have been backslidden are you cold in heart you don't know Jesus you come to him right now and this becomes applicable to you immediately right now he knows everything about you he's numbered every hair on your head and if you don't have Harrison numbered the follicles he's numbered everything do you know he knows every thought that you're thinking right now there's nothing happened to you or in your life but what God is in control God is in control God has everything under control first I want to pray for those who are coming back to the Lord and those who are making a new commitment would you pray this prayer with me right now it has to come from your heart out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and the only way this can be life-changing to you is if you say Lord Jesus I'm depending on the Holy Spirit that the word God's Word will be made true to me God will keep his word to me we confess our sins he's faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all all unrighteousness pray this over there right now Jesus I come to you for cleansing forgive me blot out my transgressions every sin
