Dearly Beloved:
I pray God be with you in all your ways!
One of my readers wrote: "Bro. Dave, Why do so many ministries boast that they are the biggest, the best, the most fruitful? Why do they have to talk about all the great things they are doing?" I hope we do not fall into that category- but, having said that, I do want to boast in God's faithfulness and goodness, which is completely scriptural:
Psalm 44:8 -"In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name forever." 2 Cor. 10:17-"But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
I want to publicly thank God for the following things-things that cause me to glory in and boast of His faithfulness:
(2) I thank God for strength and health. For the past fifteen years I suffered from acute colitis, with constant pain and much bleeding. It drained me physically-I was always tired. A year ago I got desperate before the Lord, praying, "Lord, I can't minister to this huge congregation and keep all these ministries to the needy going unless You heal my bowels. I am at my wits end; I'm too weary to go on." The Holy Spirit directed me to nutrition for healing. I always made fun of health nuts and all the claims being made for alternative health plans. The Holy Spirit taught me what to do: I got off sugar. I drink the juice of carrots and apples daily. I drink barley green and I take well-rounded vitamin and mineral supplements. I have been completely healed! I have more energy than I had at thirty years of age and I have never felt better in my life. I have no nutritional teacher but the Holy Spirit. To me this is God's utter faithfulness, in answer to prayer.
(3) I thank God for our four children and their spouses, all serving the Lord in ministry-and eleven grandchildren, all serving the Lord-even the youngest ones glow with love for Jesus.
(4) I thank God for allowing me to minister to so many spiritually hungry people. I love preaching at Times Square Church on Broadway. Many thousands attend each year from all over the world-and the local congregation consists of great lovers of truth who are growing mightily in the Lord. Also, thousands receive our written messages. I honestly believe that our mailing list is comprised of some of the most caring, truth-loving Christians in the nation. We do have our critics-but for the most part, our readers look forward to each message because they truly want to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and they have a hunger and thirst for truth.
(5) I thank God also that, in spite of a huge budget need, we have never had to plead for money. We are debt free and the gifts sent to us each month by our readers have always been just what we need. It has been amazing! God has been so faithful! If I boast, I boast in Him-and He has blessed us with saints who listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and who help us as directed by Him. My heart overflows with thanksgiving for every single person who stands with us in prayer and support.
God bless you! Don't forget, we stand by to receive your prayer requests. We will hold you up in prayer with our intercessors.
His bondservant,
DAVID WILKERSON
