David Wilkerson reveals that the true power of a godly life isn't in performing miracles or calling down storms—it's in having the supernatural ability to turn rejection into an opportunity for compassion, just as Samuel kissed and blessed the very man who replaced him.

Main Points:

• The first mark of a godly person is a sensitive ear to God's voice—if he has all of your heart with nothing held back, he will train you to hear him so clearly that tomorrow at noon, he'll tell you exactly what's coming.

• You don't need decades of theology or a romantic call to China—even if you got saved last week, you can become so sensitive to God's voice that spiritually fat believers will come asking what the Lord is saying.

• Prayer doesn't make you immune from trouble—it's like poking a stick in a hornet's nest, attracting every devil in hell, but if you persist, God will subdue your enemies and bring peace where they "come no more."

• Samuel's sons were thieves, he failed as a father, yet God answered every prayer because his heart was pure—no bribes, no deceit, no guile that would block heaven's response.

• When Israel rejected Samuel after 40 years of service, not one person defended him—but God revealed they weren't rejecting him, they were rejecting the Lord's leadership.

• The shocking power of godliness: Samuel kissed and anointed his replacement, prophesied blessings over him, and said, "God forbid I should sin by ceasing to pray for you" to the very people who rejected him.

• Bitterness and revenge are cancer in your spirit—growing faster than any physical cancer—but when you turn rejection into compassion, that's when you display the true power of a godly life.

David Wilkerson reveals the shocking truth that you're not just connected to Christ—you've been grafted into him by the Father, sealed by the Holy Spirit, with his life flowing through you, making unbelief the only sin that can sever this divine connection.

Main Points:

• Jesus confronted his disciples' unbelief in the upper room because he knew a church built on unbelief would be crippled—they had to understand their new relationship as branches grafted into the vine.

• When God grafted you into Christ, he made a "V" cut in the vine that had to bleed first—the pressure from Christ's life-giving sap is so powerful it would push you out if you weren't sealed by the Holy Spirit.

• You're not holding onto the vine—the vine holds you! God doesn't do faulty grafts, and you're by the very life of Christ himself.

• Every excuse for unbelief was demolished when Jesus said, "I am the vine"—he is everything you need, containing all resources and all power for every crisis you'll ever face.

• The withering sin that cuts branches off isn't things like adultery or gossip—it's unbelief, the failure to claim your position in Christ when feelings and failures scream you've fallen off the vine.

• Many Christians live in terror that every failure drops them from the vine, but Christ's forgiveness flows through you, covering every sin—his life keeps flowing even when you fail.

• The rest God promises isn't out there somewhere in the cosmos—it's right here in your grafted position, seated in the vine where all heaven's resources flow into you by simple, childlike faith.

David Wilkerson exposes the dangerous sin of tempting God—when well-taught believers face tests beyond human endurance and cry, "Are you even with me?"—revealing that God intensifies our trials to expose the last roots of unbelief and bring us to the end of ourselves.

Main Points:

• The people who tempt God aren't the wicked but those closest to him—believers who've seen miracles, eaten heavenly bread, yet still question "Is the Lord among us or not?" when trials intensify.

• You can live your whole Christian life on someone else's revelation—reading their books, hearing their sermons—but until you get alone with God and have your own history with him, it won't last.

• God will "rig" situations in your life, allowing tests beyond human endurance, because he knows what's really in your heart even when you're convinced of your own consecration.

• When you claim to love everyone, God will put the meanest person right in your face; when you battle a besetting sin, he'll allow that temptation to be heated seven times hotter.

• The cross isn't just about Jesus dying for you—it's about being brought to absolute nothingness before God, where you realize you have nothing to offer him and can accomplish nothing in the flesh.

• Many of the evil thoughts and temptations assaulting believers aren't from their own hearts but are floods straight from hell—attacks from outside meant to overwhelm you with fear.

• God isn't trying to make you happy or fix your marriage—he's calling you to die to everything, but in that death comes resurrection power where you realize "I can do all things through Christ."
