Out of the Abundance of the Heart | David Wilkerson
Based on Matthew 12:34, Pastor Wilkerson teaches that our hearts are treasuries where we make daily deposits of either good or evil, and these deposits will inevitably overflow into our words and actions.
Main Ideas:
• Your heart is a treasury - Everything you consume spiritually becomes deposits that will come out of your mouth and influence your life
• Two types of deposits - You're either storing up wrath through worldly influences or storing up goodness through God's Word
• Beware of spiritual pollution - Corrupt entertainment, music, and media will poison your heart and destroy relationships
• The danger of empty hearts - When demons leave but the heart isn't filled with God's Word, worse bondage can return
• God's deliverance process - Like Israel's exodus, God calls you to freedom, shows you can't deliver yourself, gradually weakens your enemy, then deals the final death blow to sin
• Fill your treasury with Scripture - Daily deposits of God's Word and praise will push out evil and make sin impossible
• Trust God's timing - Deliverance takes time, but God secures you by the blood while the battle rages
This sermon offers hope to anyone struggling with sin, emphasizing that complete freedom comes through God's power and filling your heart with his Word.
