"It was not an accident. There was not a failure on your part."
David Wilkerson
Believe when all resources fail extremely pleasing to God and is fully accepted by Him Jesus said to Thomas: "Because you have seen me, thou hast believed." Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed "(Jn.20: 29).
Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to his prayer. Blessed are those who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.
Someone has come to a place of despair, hope and the end of the end of every resource. A loved one faces death and the doctors do not give hope. The death seems inevitable. The hope is gone. He prayed for a miracle but this did not happen.
It is at this time when Satan's strongholds are directed to attack your mind with fear, anger and overwhelming questions like "Where is God? You prayed until there was not more tears, fasted, parmaneceu and trusted in the promises." Blasphemous thoughts take their mind: "The prayer failed, failed the faith. I will not abandon God more, but never return to trust him.'s Not worth it!" Until questions about the existence of God come to mind.
All this has been the mechanism used by Satan for centuries. Some of the most godly men and women of all time lived such demonic attacks.
For those who pass through the valley of the shadow of death, listen stamen word: The mourning will last for some dark and terrible night, but in the midst of this darkness, you suddenly hear the whisper of the Father: "I am with you. At this moment I can not say you why, but one day everything will make sense. You will see that everything was part of my plan. It was not an accident. There was a failure on your part. Hold on strong. Let them hold you in this hour of grief. "
Beloved, God has never ever failed to act with kindness and love. When all resources fail, Your love prevails. Keep your faith. Remain steadfast in His Word. There is no other hope in this world.
This devotional was published yesterday on the website of his ministry, the same day when the tragic accident occurred.
David Wilkerson died yesterday in a car accident in Texas, United States. He was driving an Infinity sedan and collided head on with a truck. According to the Department of Homeland Security that state, Wilkerson was not wearing a seatbelt. The minister's wife, Gwen Wilkerson, 70, wore a belt and survived. She was transported by helicopter to East Texas Medical Center in Jacksonville, and his condition is serious. The truck driver, Frederick Braggs, 38, was treated at the same hospital, but suffered only minor injuries.
David Wilkerson is known worldwide for his work in the evangelization of young drug addicts and marginal and also the book The Cross and the dagger, which chronicles the early years of his ministry. He is the founder of Teen Challenge, an international organization dedicated to recover the world's youth from drugs and crime.
The death of David Wilkerson, age 79, also shut one of the most powerful voices against the doctrinal deviations and behavioral aberrations that have invaded the church in recent years. He appeared to be deeply distressed about the situation and the lethargy of the people of God before the advance of these fads, charging an attitude of Christians. He said: "We cling to our religious rhetoric and talk about revival, but we become so passive! The passion born of anguish. All true passion for Christ is a baptism of anguish. " May your death not be a reason to forget his words.

I praise God for life and ministry of Brother David I "met" 24 years ago through the book "The Cross and Dagger" and "Run, Nick, run 'and then the movies. During all these years whenever I needed some "meat" in this world of empty words, I always used to read his sermons and cried along with him in his preaching in Russia posted on YouTube, who posted up in mu Blog "Só a verdade verdadeira ´reviously.
I'm sure he is already enjoying the Real Presence of Jesus telling him: "Well done, thou good and faithful. About the faithful were little, on I will make thee enter into the joy of your Lord ..." (Matthew 25:21)
Given this I pray for comfort for his family, sheep, shepherds of the Times Square Church and much that I went along as their beautiful and fruitful life edified, comforted, encouraged and blessed by God.
Soli Deo Gloria!

PS>: I suggest that the text of David yesterday and consoled myself built in the early morning when I was under tremendous physical and spiritual warfare: "The ministry of assistance to others." Once again the Lord used His servant David Wilkerson to make me win. He fell over a Giant of Faith
"Now let me cry a little homesick ..."
