May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. A long and strenuous life has completed its assigned course.
This was in the article you posted.
I find it most fitting:
“To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights, and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you,’” Wilkerson wrote. “Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail-his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.”
I have been reading through a book David Willkerson read early on called “The Christian in Complete Armour” by William Gurnall. It is very good. Not listening to and understanding how Satan tries to lie to us was covered in one section. But I keep coming back to the main point, stay fixed on God. David Willkerson stayed fixed on God.
Lord, help us as we look to you for the courage we will all need in the coming implosion that lies before this nation and the world. Amen.
