Experiencing hardship can make us cry out as Jesus did, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" Suffering can make God seem far away, but in our darkest moments—especially then—our Father is at work to bring great blessing and favor to us, his beloved children.

Jesus is reaching out to those who are spiritually dead and offers them supernatural life through the power of the Holy Spirit. There is an emptiness that God has planted in the heart of man that eventually makes us miserable. God will move heaven and earth to save one soul. This life is made available through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God! This is all about getting a new life, not about religion. God's mercy reaches out to all those who are dead in their sin.
David Wilkerson preaches that true fulfillment comes only through surrendering completely to Jesus, not through worldly solutions.
Gary Wilkerson urges women, especially mothers, to release perfectionism and embrace their identity as beloved daughters of God.
At the time of Jesus's birth, Herod was disturbed and sought to have him killed. In our generation we are starting to see a similar turn against the gospel. Sin is no longer called sin. It is even called good and glorified. Bible-believing faith-filled Christians are becoming the minority. When persecution comes, what is our response? Initially it can be anger, but in Jesus we see that we are to act in love and keep on with the ministry to which he has called us.
We live in a generation when many are carrying wounds from fathers, husbands and men. Our image of our heavenly Father is often distorted by these earthly relationships. Scripture shows us that we are highly valued by God, and that through Christ we are grafted into the family of God. The father accepts us, approves of us, is attentive to us, affectionate and gives us godly authority.
