JOY OF WALKING IN REPENTENCE
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011]

"And [He] said . . . Fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me" (Daniel 10:19).

Daniel's soul was in agony. He had been mourning for sin—praying, fasting, weeping—and it left him flat on his face, totally drained. He moaned, "O my lord . . . my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength" (Daniel 10:16).

Then Jesus came to him and touched his body and suddenly Daniel was flooded with peace and strength. "O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened" (Daniel 10:19).

Jesus told Daniel, "Daniel, I love you and I want to give you My peace. Now, stand up and be strong!" Daniel received the word of the Lord and was filled with God’s strength. Then he stood up, completely free from fear.

The repentant Christian can be downcast, totally wiped out, overwhelmed by sorrow and weariness. However, the Lord always comes to touch his body, to give him renewed peace and strength!

I ask you: Do you have a repentant heart? Do you want one? Fall on your knees today and cry out in confession—for yourself, your family, your loved ones, your church. You will receive an incredible revelation of the Lord and you will begin to speak from pure lips. You will know peace and strength from God's mighty hand so that you will no longer live in fear of any kind.

Best of all, each of these marvelous benefits will be "loaded" upon you daily: "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation" (Psalm 68:19).

That is when you will know the joy of walking in repentance.

Judgment and confession should start from the household of God, which is I myself. I think people who believe Repentance is totally unnecessary to be born again (leave about daily Christian walk) should understand this truth.
This Strength that Daniel got from God only after confession and praying on his knees (Repentance). But today's Christians who talk about resting in some kind of finished work receive this strength all the time without any repentance. Which shows that they get this strength from Satan instead of God. This is exactly what James calls as Licentiousness.

I've found that bearing others up and being willing for God to reveal our hearts to be very costly. God has been gracious to show me my own weaknesses and when He has lead me out of them then I have been able to lift up others but it isn't easy work. This process and burden for others reveals yet more weakness and new battles. Relying on the Lord for every step is beautiful but each step takes you deeper and deeper but the cost of giving the temporal for the eternal is worth it.
