Cuando todos los recursos fallan

Llegué a este texto con la noticia de que el autor de éste falleció ayer. Otro personaje que me propongo conocer un poco más; tengo a varios en mi lista. Pero mientras cumplo mi tarea, te lo comparto ya que me fue de mucho ánimo... espero sirva al mismo propósito contigo.

Por David Wilkerson

To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29).

Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer—who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.

Someone has come to the place of hopelessness—the end of hope—the end of all means. A loved one is facing death and doctors give no hope. Death seems inevitable. Hope is gone. The miracle prayed for is not happening.

That is when Satan’s hordes come to attack your mind with fear, anger, overwhelming questions: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on promises. You trusted.”

Blasphemous thoughts will be injected into your mind: “Prayer failed. Faith failed. Don’t quit on God—just do not trust him anymore. It doesn’t pay!”

Even questioning God’s existence will be injected into your mind. These have been the devices of Satan for centuries. Some of the godliest men and women who ever lived were under such demonic attacks.

To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights—and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you. I cannot tell you why right now, but one day it will all make sense. You will see it was all part of my plan. It was no accident. It was no failure on your part. Hold fast. Let me embrace you in your hour of pain.”

Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.

Murió David Wikelrson???

No sabía, de niño me interesé en su trabajo, debido a que fue un predicador que evangelizó pandillas de las de alto calibre en Nueva York, entre ellos Nicky Cruz, un pandillero muy reconocido en los años 60-70´s (si no me equivoco), hay un libro que se llama "La Cruz y el Puñal", de David, y de Nicky un montón del mismo caso, incluso hay una película. Gracias por lo que compartes.
