How Quickly We Turn Away | David Wilkerson

About this sermon

David Wilkerson reveals the horrifying scene of Solomon kneeling before pagan idols—the wisest man who ever lived lost his fear of God, proving that when you keep shaking off Holy Spirit conviction, you'll quickly turn aside to destruction. This sermon was recorded on August 22, 1995. Main Points: • Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived, who built God's temple and experienced divine visitations—ended up kneeling before detestable idols while his abandoned temple stood empty with doors shut. • The beginning of all wisdom is the fear of God, but when you keep shaking off Holy Spirit conviction, you're shaking off the fear that keeps you from falling away. • Israel maintained their fear of God for less than 40 days after seeing Mount Sinai shake with divine trumpets. They turned aside quickly because they lusted exceedingly and got weary of the narrow way. • People turn aside not to nothing but to someone or something that captures their heart. What is that thing God is dealing with that you refuse to lay down? • Solomon had dreams and heard God's voice twice, but he never read the written Word that warned kings not to multiply horses, wives, or gold—the very things that destroyed him. • In these last days, people run to prophets for a "word" that costs $100 while refusing to spend hours in the Book that would ground them against every deception. • Your television, computer, and phone are your chariots to Embassy Row—click for pornography, click sports idolatry, click for shows and movies where you watch adultery while claiming to love Jesus. • God has a Josiah company who will tear down every idol in their heart. They will not turn from following the Lord, keeping the fear of God burning until their casket radiates holy fire. – 🌍 Live out James 1:27.
