I Almost Slipped | David Wilkerson

About this sermon

David Wilkerson exposes the deadliest sin ravaging the church—one that nearly destroyed the psalmist Asaph and is causing multitudes to shipwreck—the sin of making no sense of your suffering, which leads to the fatal unbelief that God doesn't keep his promises or care about your pain. This sermon was recorded on January 7, 1997. Main Points: • David Wilkerson shares a testimony of a 24-year-old Nigerian woman, faithful to God for four years, sending money home while barely surviving, who lost both parents in a crash and cried, "Why is it so hard to do right?"—revealing the dangerous moment when grief can turn to doubt. • Asaph nearly slipped into the abyss of unbelief because he couldn't understand why the wicked prospered while he was "plagued all day long and chastened every morning" despite his pure heart. • The deadliest sin isn't adultery, drugs, or pride—it's the sin of making no sense of your suffering, which opens the door to accusing God of being unfaithful or unconcerned. • When your God-given dreams blow up in your face, and plans crumble to ashes, the devil whispers, "You can't hear God anymore—why trust any voice now?" seeking to destroy your confidence in God's faithfulness. • Asaph found deliverance when he went to the sanctuary, and God showed him that the wicked live in terror behind their wealth. It's all a false dream that will burst while the righteous inherit glory. • Ministers are leaving the ministry not because of adultery or pornography, but because of this sin: "God, I tried to do right, and you did me wrong. You didn't protect me or guide me." • Unbelief that isn't dealt with quickly becomes fatal. It destroys and shipwrecks everything, costing people their salvation and sending them to hell despite years of faithful service. • God has a purpose for everything he allows, and when you can't understand, you go to the sanctuary and cry, "Lord, I don't have to understand anymore. You are the strength of my heart forever." – 🌍 Live out James 1:27.
