David Wilkerson has been a great inspiration in my life. WHY ? Because he actually lived his Faith in Great Boldness !
David had very small beginnings , Starting out as just a small town pastor of a small country church.
David was very satisfied with his humble service , being faithful to The Lord Always.
He had no plans to ever become anything larger than a small town pastor , he was very content , But GOD had great plans for him !
GOD told him one day , David I want you to go into the Rough City of New York , and preach to the street kids , the Hardened Gangsters. David was very nervous about what GOD was telling him to do , and of course resistant , as we all can be at times , at first.
David was very happy at his little country post , and besides he thought , who am I to take upon such a task. GOD told him exactly who he was , GOD`s Faithful Servant !
David Wilkerson`s story/journey is a very long one , not enough room here for me to tell all , I recommend Reading his Book " The Cross and The Switchblade " , will include links where you can Purchase it at the bottom of the page ; But let me give a condensed version of it here , and why and how David Wilkerson has Inspired me.
As mentioned above , David was hesitant at first , expectantly so , But he ultimately decided " Ok Father , I Will Go Anywhere You Ask of Me ". He never planned this for his life , nor did he want it , But he had the Willingness to do Anything GOD asked of him.
David went through many trials , persecutions , and Testings along the way , READ The Book for Details , But The End Results Are Astounding !
David Obeyed GOD and Conquered many feats. He went and Ministered to Some of The Most Terrible , Gruesome Street Thugs of those days , and Arguably Ever. He became very much in love with these Desperate youths , Particularly The Mau Mau`s and Their ( former ) Leader , Nikki Cruz , Who Is David`s Most Famous Fruit.
The Most Inspiring Thing I Draw From David Wilkerson`s Entire Lifetime Ministry Is An Encounter he had one day with Young Nikki Cruz.
Nikki Threatened To Cut David Up With his Knife , and David Told him , " Even IF You Cut Me Into A Million Pieces , Everyone of Those Pieces Will Love You ".
Oh What An Immense Love That Is !
That Is True Agape Love Right There. Even At The Threat of Death , Good Ol David Wilkerson Loved Nikki Truly and Immensely.
The End Result Is Nikki Cruz Receiving Christ , and Still Serving GOD To This Day.
