David Wilkerson emphasizes that despite the abundance of gospel
revelation and resources available today, many believers are still
plagued by distress and confusion due to unbelief. He argues that the
root cause of the lack of victory and deliverance in the lives of
Christians is not a lack of God's Word, but a failure to hear and obey
it. Wilkerson encourages believers to stand firm on God's promises,
reminding them that true faith arises from actively hearing and trusting
in God's Word. He reassures the discouraged that God offers His Word as
a source of hope and deliverance, urging them to trust, obey, and rest
in it.

We are living in a time of the greatest gospel revelation in history.
There are more preachers, more books, more gospel-media saturation than
at any time in history. Yet there has never been more distress,
affliction and confusion among God's people. Pastors today design their
sermons just to pick people up and help them deal with despair. They
preach on God's love and patience, reminding us that he understands our
times of discouragement. We are told, "Just hold on. Be encouraged. Even
Jesus felt forsaken by his Father."

There's nothing wrong with this. Yet there is still just one reason why
we see so little victory and deliverance: it is unbelief. The fact is,
God has spoken with clarity in these last days: "I have already given
you the Word. It is finished -- so now, stand on it.

There are those who say we are experiencing a famine of God's Word today
but the truth is, we are experiencing a famine of hearing God's Word and
obeying it. Why? Because faith never comes to us by logic or reason.
Paul states plainly, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God" (Romans 10:17). The only way true faith will ever rise up in any
believer's heart is by hearing -- that is, believing, trusting, and
acting on -- God's Word.

Are you discouraged? The Lord says, "I give you my Word."

"For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You ... You shall
preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of
deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye" (Psalm 32:6-8).

"The eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His
mercy" (Psalm 33:18).

"This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of
all his troubles" (Psalm 34:6).

In just three psalms we are given enough of God's Word to drive out all
unbelief. I urge you now: hear it, trust it, obey it. And, finally, rest
in it.
