By David Wilkerson (summary by Jeffrey Bush)
- In one way or another, everyone is hurting in some way.
- Time heals nothing, only God can truly heal.
- God never promised you a painless life, He promised you a way of escape and
strength to continue. - You cannot depend on others for your happiness.
- God is the only source of true satisfaction and happiness; not your spouse, best
friend, pastor, psychiatrist, or anyone else. - When your relationship with Chris is not right, every other area is affected.
- A sparrow never falls without God knowing, and He also knows when His children fall
and still loves them. - The devil wants to destroy your faith.
- God doesn’t hide when we sin. Just as He came to Adam and Eve in the garden
when they sinned, so He is still available and present with us. - Our guilt and shame tells us that God doesn’t want to hear from us, but that’s a lie.
Go with bended knee and heart and speak to Him. - Going to the Father in prayer is the solution to every dry spell.
- Sin causes Christians to live in discouragement and defeat.
- Fear is the power the devil has over man, but God can break that power and give
victory. - Satan has no right or claim on a Christian.
- As a child of God, one of the most important steps is what you do after you fall.
- Satan has one big goal with believers, and that is to turn them into unbelievers. To
make them doubt and quit believing what God can do. - The three steps to atheism is guilt, doubt, and unbelief.
- A great lessons a Christian should learn from their inner, fleshly struggles, is to stop
throwing stones at others. - You can’t save yourself, help yourself, or please God yourself, you need His help. Let
God be in charge of your growth and holiness, for He wants to help you. - The way to holiness is through humility. All our pride must be smashed.
