- Many believers struggle to understand what exactly the Holy Spirit empowers us to do in the world. Is it to build earthly kingdoms for God? Is it to overcome evil worldly governments with God's power? In this sermon, David Wilkerson speaks about the heavenly kingdom that God has given us the Spirit to build instead. His Spirit lives in us to glorify the Father through our lives.

I listened then again with my son. I too came to the answer that if it's not in the word, leave it alone. I hear people who say they fight the devil. I tell them I trust in Jesus. He already defeated him.
Well stated.....Amen....more times than not it's the spoiled rotten flesh, but I've felt the nothingness of the darkness swallowing everything behind me (no I didn't look) you just know

The previous comment i made went to a different message I was listening to, not this one about the Holy Spirit. This is a good, solid message. If we could only learn to live each moment, conscious that the Spirit of God is in us, with us to help us through all things how at rest in our souls we would be!

There is a reason you were instructed to put on the armor of God. Without it you will not withstand the devils deceit. You need to prepare yourself for a very dark battle because it is coming soon. I pray the Holy Spirit quicken you so that you'll have the strength and endurance it will require to finish this race to the end. The Lord is returning as the LORD of HOST which means a battle warrior. He will return with His 144,000 and the war will be raging. Please prepare you cannot outsmart satan without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We need a Glory to God button!!!
I second that! Praise GOD! He was a prophet anyone with spiritual eyes can see that!
I started listening to him after I heard his 1973 prophetic message. You know a tree by its fruit. I have yet to hear him say anything that hasn’t come to pass. Thank you Holy Spirit
So important message. We need Him more than ever.🇫🇮
Amen!
This teaching has moved me into the deeper understanding of the personality and works of the Holy Spirit, and allows us to dominate all the kingdoms of the Earth, without the Holy Ghost we can get nowhere, thank you very much God bless him.
What a powerful sermon. This man is totally anointed indeed. Every sermon is 100% scripture inspired. I am so blessed to have found his sermons.
Me too

Intimacy with Christ is intimacy with the spirit they are the same God.
Jesus lover of my soul
🙌
I grieve you Holy Spirit forgive me Lord. Help me turn from my wicked ways of self. 🙏❤
🙏
Amen, this is also the cry of my heart! Feed your spirit and it will empower you to deny the flesh. I've struggled with this as well and when I'm in His word and praying daily it gets easier to turn away from the sins of my flesh.
David Wilkerson knew the heart of Christ ❤
A great man of God. Thank you Lord! ❤🙏🏼
This man is a legend
amen, gloria a Dios, bendito Jesuscristo!! a joy that cant be sold o forgotten.
👏
The word of God never have a time on it the word doesn't change❤
Yes! Amen.
As soon as we accept Christ we're sealed by God the holy Spirit and no man can take that away even though they think they can but greater is Christ's Spirit in us then the god of this world that is evil
🙏
Absolutely nothing wrong with this preaching! Lord, may I get it, live it, and share it!
Jesus is the LORD I Love You Holy Spirit I thank you for dwelling in me I Love You Jesus thank you for Saving me I Love You Father I thank you for being My God
🙌
I can listen to this pastor ALL day long. He was truly anointed by God . I can't handle all these new pastors who teach prosperity teachings. Every Christian should stick to solid doctrine and not a feel good sermon that leaves you empty with no conviction or spiritual growth.
Amen! Fully agree.
Great sermon ! Preached 29 years ago. Revelant for today ...2024. I need this ! 🎉❤
Amen!
Hey sis hugs 😂❤❤Amannnn
I loved his sense of humour a very typical example of how Jesus is a loving Father and not an angry monster that is always waiting to judge and throw your into that eternal fire. Jesus is love ans surely his disciples had moments of laughter with Him❤
Pastor Wilkerson was indeed inspired by Jesus Christ. I love all of his sermons. Rest in peace in the arms of Jesus, my dear Pastor Wilkerson. I went to Times Square Church many years and do so miss his Sunday sermons.
Amen! His presence is truly missed. We’re so thankful for the way David Wilkerson faithfully answered God’s call and impacted so many lives. His legacy continues to inspire us all.
Back in the 1950’s Dave Wilkerson decided to stop watching television for 2 hours every night and give those hours to God.
God only requires us to give him whatever we have and he takes that and runs with it.
That ‘2 hours’ was a seed planted that grew to a fruit bearing tree. God is able to do mighty things through people who give him quality time. Through you and through me. You don’t have to be anyone special… just someone who has a heart for God. He is still searching to and fro for those ‘someones’.
The Lord is good ❣️
❤️ Good word!
I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS!!! As he was preaching the Peace of the Holy Spirit flooded my heart!! And it was so tangible I swear I could have touched it…. And I’ve her. Praising God all morning saying that I just wanna hug Jesus!!! That’s what I felt in the Spirit!!! Exactly what he said in the end how the Holy Spirit does that in your heart, everything he said happens to me almost daily! Praise Jesus for the precious Holy Spirit!!! ❤❤😁😊
Praise the Lord!
Now i start watching Pastor Wilkerson evryday n its like a fountain giving out life ,convicting our weakness n iniquity for our Salvation.. The Holy word of God is healings to the flesh n refreshment to the bones.. All Glory is to the Lord.May the Good Lord Bless all the People in this Commnet section.Wishing only the Best n Blessing to all of you..Greetings n watching frm India.🙏❤
Praise God 🙌
Great message about the Holy Ghost….informative, convicting & comforting & encouraging & anointed.
I started watching His sermons in the middle of 2024, and learning ajd growing alot more than when I am listening in Church services sermons. Not that Pastors aren't good at giving away their messages, it is just that PASTOR DAVID HAS THAT ANOINTING THAT PEOPLE RECEIVE THE MESSAGE WITH THE POWER AND MANIFESTATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. ❤❤❤
🙌
I miss this Godly man. Taught me so much. Thank God for his ministry.
🙌 ❤️
Powerful and relevant message
Thank God for this brothers sermon's! Preacher's today in this culture are scared to preach on the Holy Spirit..... Probably because they don't know him! 🙌
🙏
Jesus says I am The Way The Truth and The Life.
Revelation Chapter 3 verse 20
John Chapter 3 verse 16
John 14 verses 1-8
The Bible says you are Fearfully and Wonderfully made.
Jesus Loves you ❤️
THANK YOU for this WONDERFULL ENCOURAGEMENT☀️💪
The Holy Spirit of God moved upon people in the Old Testament but He said that HE , the Holy Spirit shall be in you meaning He will come to dwell inside us. The Bible says in Acts 1:8 the first reason that the Holy Spirit was sent was to give us power to be witnesses unto Jesus.
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thank you God, zThank you Jesus. God bless to David Wilkerson.

Please pray for me. Christ wants me to stop smoking cigarettes . Idk why it's hard because I know Him, I think . I get so convicted for it. Im a teen challenge grad, and I smoke cigarettes. I picked it back up after the program. Oh Lord !!
Thank you for sharing your heart so honestly. It’s clear that God is working in you, and He sees your struggle. Remember, His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Don’t be discouraged-breaking free can be a process, but you’re not walking it alone.
I’ll be praying for strength, peace, and freedom as you lean on Him. He’s faithful to complete the good work He started in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep pressing into His love and grace!
You’ve already overcome so much-He’s got you!
I'm in the same boat sister. I'm praying for strength and a breaking of chains. Hear our prayers Lord, we don't want to be slaves anymore to those sticks that only lead us to an early death and away from our assignment. We don't want to grieve you our Lord father Jesus Christ with filling your temple with toxins and horrific conditions as you live in us. Please Lord, hear our prayers as we ask for restoration and a new mind set as we give up this terrible addiction. Lead us to you Lord when we find ourselves facing temptation, because we know that our adversary will use our weakness and hold it against us. Please help us to put on the full armor of God, that you have given us as it says in Ephesians 6:10 to fight and fight on our knees. Thank you Lord for hearing us and answering our prayers. AMEN 🙏
Praise God
🙌
As soon as people accept Christ they have been given the holy Spirit ❤❤

🙌 Great verses!

The Holy Spirit took my anxiety away and set me free from my unforgiveness and made me love others like Jesus loves them and I am compelled to share about Jesus with others. I also no longer want to sin or have anything to do with sin and God protects me from temptation in real time and I can see it even! I can not even get upset or annoyed with others anymore! Not even while driving and that is a miracle 1000 times over! I can not do that! God must help me for me to resist the enemy like this. I do not get the thoughts that make me want to accuse others. I just want them to get saved and to know Jesus as I do. I know they suffer. All sin is separating us from God. Especially sins of the heart. He can give you a new heart that does not want to sin. It will not make you perfect. If you sin though you will not be able to live with it and you will repent and be so sorry you will be forgiven and changed and protected and set free from the darkness. The Holy Spirit touch is like they describe in the Bible when they are in the upper room. I experience this when worshiping at home! You could not stand in the room. People end up face down worshiping the Lord in humility and honor for the Lord God Almighty! He loves us right back. God is our father and we are like children to him and he loves to see us laugh and be filled with his joy unspeakable! It will cure your heart of all pain and even PTSD instantly! I was cured just like that!
We're lifting you up in prayer and believing that God's light will break through the darkness of this situation. If you'd like, we'd be honored to pray with you over the phone as well. Just call 1-833-WC-PRAYS. Sending you love and blessings!
Hallelujah! I can testify
AMEN...
🙌
Really enjoy his messages.
These days I listen to David Wilkerson, Voddie Baucham,Gino Jennings and try reading my bible daily. Because one day we all have to answer to the creator believe it or not.We cannot afford to be playing church..I pray that my children come to know Jesus.. That the Spirit draws them.
Amen!
Hallelujah
That is the truth
Elect receive Holy Spirit at conversion!
Read the new testament, it shows how the Holy Spirit came onto the church. Every single instance. Look at the Samaritans, they were already converted and baptized in water but the Holy Spirit didn't come on them, neither did He come down on the ephesians until paul put his hands on them.
The whole message is against that teaching. The disciples had the wait for the Holy Spirit. It only with His power you can go out. Without out Him we are powerless. That’s why our country is dying. Because most Christians don’t believe this. Most believe in the stamens you just made. It’s a doctrine of satin. Yes we get the Spirt at conversion but not His empowerment. Read Acts!
The change made in me at conversion wasnt just a verbal
Assent it was the power of God
The early church era was different
Tongues prophecy laying on
Of hands handling poisonous
Snakes etc they never had
New testaments only letters!
@angloaust1575 God is the same now as He was then. He still heals, He still baptises people with the Holy Spirit thru prayer with the sign of speaking in tongues, He still does miracles.
I'm one of them. I was a drug addict who had all 5 stages of phycosis. Something that medically you can not recover anymore. I was mentally gone and needed to be in an institution. Instead, a brother took me to a prayer meeting, and God healed my mind. I am now serving the Lord Jesus Christ(not a charismat, btw)
I was visiting a sister in Christ a few weeks ago who had a spine disease. She was folded into 3 her legs bent and pressing against her chest. For 4 years, if I remember correctly. God healed her in the soviet union, after which KGB tried to arrest her because her testimony was very strong.
I know of dozens of miracles God did in the soviet union where there was a huge persecution of His people. God does miracles, not magic tricks. If you try to be a clown and pick up a snake, it will bite you, and you will die.
But I know of a brother who was forced in the army to prove to the rest of the atheist that he believes in the bible( slavic Christians are pacifists mostly and went to prison in the soviet union because they wouldn't take the oath or take weapons, and military service was mandatory) they made him drink a cup of acetone because of the 16th chapter of mark.
He took it and said, "Lord, I do this in your name." The rest is in your hands and drank the whole thing. He didn't die, and the people started to believe.
I know dozens of these things. I've talked to some of those who this happened to or to the witnesses that saw this.
Brother God is alive and acting today. Believe in Him like the word God teaches. Today, He baptises in the Holy Spirit with the signs of talking in tongues like He did in the very first days.
Read and study those verses, and you will find that every single time someone was baptized, they spoke in tongues. May God give you light to see.
The holy Spirit will bear witness with our spirit if we don't push HIM away
Amen!
So true
God the holy Spirit is how people see how real Christ is because I know that I know I have gotten by with the holy Spirit and glory goes to El Shaddai
Hallelujah!
AMEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS THE PROMISED ONE. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE PROMISED ONE. JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD WAS THE BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT [LUKE 22:20] HALLELUJA 🙌
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To give us the truth and to glorify God in our lives with our lives. To set us free and give us joy unspeakable full of glory that compels us to love others like Jesus loves them as Jesus will manifest into us he said in John if we keep his commandments in Matthew 22 34 to 40! He also told us to get water baptized so we can soon after receive the Holy Spirit and Fire anointing Jesus called it. I know why he meant. The fire is Gods love and it is powerful. It gives life and heals the sick and lets us cast demons out in his name and even raises the dead! Jesus said to do what he did and we will also do more than was recorded as not all could be written down.
Amen! 🙌
O my kids 🐐🐐🐐
Does anyone know where to get a copy of the cross and switchblade
You can find it at store.worldchallenge.org/. Blessings!
When was this preached?
Our records show 1995. Blessings!
@@world_challengeI was 4 years old when this was preached lol
He says “spirit” normally here and then later in his ministry, he started to say “spidit.” Some of his other words sounded like he was trying to roll his r’s or something (again, later in ministry). Just an observation…
Nothing wrong with giving car away if the car is being a problem but to each their own 😊
They are still walking in darkness That's the answer at the 26 minute mark
I have listened to the anointed preaching of David wilkerson for years, but he REALLY MISSED THE MARK ON THIS ONE. I don't want to judge him too much but I hope this is just a one time thing and someone has pointed out to him error of his message!!! His message is actually a false teachings and a mockery of the Spirit filled children of God! First of all, in min 33 he said that one must appropriate the Holy Spirit??? Not SCRIPTURAL. One only appropriates = adopts the Word of God into one's life by obeying it. The RECEIVING of the HOLY Spirit is a free gift Acts 2:38. The reason why some Christians are going from failure to failure, and from sin confess sin confess is because of mainly these 2 scriptures:
1 Corinthians 3:2 "I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able."
Gal 5:17 "For the flesh LUSTETH against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." The Spirit filled people that David wilkerson is mentioning never grew out of their BABY spiritual state and this is why have no discernment and are easy manipulated, becoming spiritual blind. If one doesn't pray and seek the Lord (studying the Word of God) regularly one's spiritual being starves and his fleshly being becomes fat instead -- the reverse is true!!! The Man in Christ is two things spiritual and fleshly! The 7 churches in the Old Testament were Spirit filled churches "The seven Spirits" suffered each in different ways because of disobedience and spiritual blindness that eventually sets in!!!
What Year did Pastor Wilkerson preach this? I heard Saddam mentioned alive.
This was preached in 2008! Blessings.
The first part sounds likw modalism. Jesus is the HS instead of the HS is Jesus' Spirit. perhaps I just don't see yet the glorious ways of God's dwelling in Man.
Brother Ross says he don’t know you
Yes, these were the chosen Apostles. God never needed 1,000s of Bible school teachers. Something is wrong. U can't compare us lay PPL with Apostles
PLEASE DONT PASS ME!! I just found out my wife was a witch attacking the church I feel like such a fool for letting my heart lead me!! please don’t pass me by brother/ sister I ask that you pray for me because I just found out my wife was practicing witchcraft and never actually a Christian. Please pray that the Lord expose her, it’s so serious that I despair of life itself. Because she tells everyone at the church it’s not true. And they believe her because she pretends to be Christian with long prayers and saying amen when everyone else does. Have pity on me brother/sister and please pray for me!! That the Lord expose her to the church, God is good even in this time. Thank you Lord for my brothers and sister in Christ. My name is Samuel and her name is Toni. And above all let His will be done.
There is so much more vile things that I found out she was doing that I can’t speak on, a bunch of blasphemies against the Holy Spirit. Even sleeping with church members. Brothers I know God is grater but she is not a normal witch. She will stop at nothing to bring destruction 😢.
