Tempting the Lord | David Wilkerson

About this sermon

David Wilkerson exposes the dangerous sin of tempting God—when well-taught believers face tests beyond human endurance and cry, "Are you even with me?"—revealing that God intensifies our trials to expose the last roots of unbelief and bring us to the end of ourselves. Main Points: • The people who tempt God aren't the wicked but those closest to him—believers who've seen miracles, eaten heavenly bread, yet still question "Is the Lord among us or not?" when trials intensify. • You can live your whole Christian life on someone else's revelation—reading their books, hearing their sermons—but until you get alone with God and have your own history with him, it won't last. • God will "rig" situations in your life, allowing tests beyond human endurance, because he knows what's really in your heart even when you're convinced of your own consecration. • When you claim to love everyone, God will put the meanest person right in your face; when you battle a besetting sin, he'll allow that temptation to be heated seven times hotter. • The cross isn't just about Jesus dying for you—it's about being brought to absolute nothingness before God, where you realize you have nothing to offer him and can accomplish nothing in the flesh. • Many of the evil thoughts and temptations assaulting believers aren't from their own hearts but are floods straight from hell—attacks from outside meant to overwhelm you with fear. • God isn't trying to make you happy or fix your marriage—he's calling you to die to everything, but in that death comes resurrection power where you realize "I can do all things through Christ." — 🌍 Live out James 1:27.
