Revival and Power

Gary Wilkerson

Pastor Wilkerson teaches that God's miraculous power is accessed through weakness and dependence, not human strength, sharing stories of revival and ministry breakthroughs.

Main Points:

  • Jesus moves in power - Born, ministered, and demonstrated God's authority through healing and miracles
  • Jesus empowers his church - Believers receive the same Holy Spirit power for signs, wonders, and authority over demons
  • Power flows through weakness - God's strength is made perfect in our weakness and dependency on him

Key Examples:

  • Asbury University revival lasting 16 days after students sought God in weakness
  • World Challenge rescuing orphans in Afghanistan and families from slavery in Pakistan
  • Cuban Methodist church growing from 15 to thousands after teenagers pursued Acts-style power

The sermon concluded with an altar call for God's power in personal needs and through believers as vessels.
