Will There Be A Depression? (circa 1980 sermon by Pastor David Wilkerson)
Tscpulpitseries.org ^ | ca. 1980 | David Wilkerson

There is a "survival panic" gripping this nation. Some economic experts warn Americans to flee the cities, buy a home or acreage in the country, hoard a supply of dried foods and ammunition, lay away a stash of gold or diamonds, and get ready for a terrifying depression. At this very moment, economic gloom is covering the nation like a dark, foreboding cloud...

Everywhere I travel now, people ask me, "David, where is our nation headed?...What do you hear from the Lord about the present problem?"

***

Let the dollar fall. Let depression or recession come with its unemployment and fear. Let pollution and inflation come. Let there be wars and rumors of wars. Let the fabric of society disintegrate. Let mankind go to the drunken brink of disaster. For the true child of God, everything is still under control! It really doesn't matter - nothing can harm those who abide under the shelter of His almighty wings. The shadow of the Almighty is bigger than any fearful shadow this age can project. God's children need fear no evil. His children will never beg for bread, and He will supply every true need up to the very last minute of time.

God has not promised to keep His children from suffering. He has not promised to keep us from facing an hour of need. We have no promise of world peace, tranquility, security, or continuous financial well-being. We are promised peace and security of soul and mind - the supernatural provision for every true need - and assurance that we would never have to beg for bread. God would rather we all come to the place Paul the apostle came to when he said,

"Having food and raiment let us be therewith content" (1 Timothy 6:8).

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"

Amen.

Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.

He died in an automobile accident. His son has taken over his ministry.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think people should ask other people what they are hearing from the Lord. I think people should listen to the Lord on their own. Anytime people go to people for what the Lord is saying, they are setting themselves up to be victims.

Well, I understand where you’re coming from, but do believe that there’s a place for both hearing from the Lord oneself, but also hearing from Him through other people, and in particular, pastors. I believe that’s Biblical. There are leaders in the Bible, as well as people who were more mature in the faith, and people who had different gifts. And the Lord can also have very specific purposes for why He speaks through one person at a particular time and place. Having to listen to one another draws us together. But, ultimately, each person must listen to the Lord about what they hear from others, on whether what they are hearing is from Him, or not.

Yes, that was my own introduction to him, actually. I was very blessed by that book. Another one that blessed me greatly was Revival on Broadway, written in the 90’s. I haven’t read The VISION, which he mentions several times in this sermon, and wonder if it could be “dated” in many respects, but I’m more inclined to think that it would still have much to say to us today, including giving us some historical perspective through the “dated” aspects.

Thanks for the update.

Still remember the first time I read The Cross & The Switchblade.

Habakkuk 3:17-18 ►

Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
