 THE PIERCING ARROWS OF HOLY TRUTH - David Wilkerson - October 21, 2011

THE PIERCING ARROWS OF HOLY TRUTH
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]

I believe God has to accomplish a work in us before we can lay claim to any
covenant promise. What is this precedent work upon which all others depend?
Jeremiah tells us: “I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not
depart from Me” (Jeremiah 32:40). God’s precedent work of the covenant is
to put His fear into our hearts by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah is speaking here of the provisions of God’s new covenant, not the
old. And God tells us very clearly how this first work of the covenant will be
performed: “I will put My fear in their hearts.” He is letting us know we
cannot work up a holy fear by the laying on of hands or the strivings of our
flesh. No—the only way this holy work can be accomplished in us is if God’s
Spirit performs it.

God is telling us through this passage, “I am going to do marvelous things in
you. I will send My very own Spirit to abide in you and give you a new heart. He
will empower you to mortify all fleshly deeds and He will guide you into total
freedom from the power of sin. Finally, He will cause you to will and do My
good pleasure.

“But there is one work the Spirit must perform in you before any of these
others. He is going to put in you the true fear of God concerning sin. He will
implant in you a profound awe of My holiness, so you will not depart from My
commands. Otherwise, your sin will always lead you away.”

Very simply, the Holy Spirit changes the way we look at our sin. He knows that
as long as we continue to take our lust lightly, we will never be set free. How
does the Holy Ghost do this? By using the convicting Word of God—the piercing
arrows of holy truth.
