Out of the Depths I Cried | David Wilkerson

Published on: 1st June, 2025

Are you crying out from the depths of despair, wondering if God has abandoned you?

Pastor David Wilkerson delivers a powerful message on how God uses our lowest moments to draw us closer to him. Speaking from Psalm 130, he explains that the depths we experience are not signs of God's abandonment, but opportunities for restoration.

Key Points:

  • God allows the depths - Our struggles and chastening come from a loving Father who wants to restore us, not destroy us
  • Conviction leads to deliverance - The Holy Spirit's conviction of sin is meant to drive us to desperate prayer, not keep us in condemnation
  • Forgiveness requires brokenness - True forgiveness is for those who are crushed and wearied by their sin, not those who take grace lightly
  • Prayer, not communication, heals relationships - Struggling marriages need desperate prayer before God, not just better communication with each other
  • One besetting sin can block God's fullness - Often a single area of compromise keeps us from experiencing God's complete blessing

The sermon calls listeners to move from conviction to faith, trusting in God's forgiveness while embracing the fear of the Lord that comes from experiencing his goodness despite our failures.
