Jesus to the Nations (Compilation)
God is calling us to serve Him by reaching out to the nations and making a difference in the world.
David Wilkerson passionately urges believers to take action and reach out to the nations, emphasizing that many are heading to hell while Christians remain comfortable and complacent. He draws parallels to the early church at Pentecost, warning that without proactive outreach, God may use challenges to stir us into action. Wilkerson calls for a commitment to service, encouraging everyone, regardless of their status, to step out in faith and share the Gospel. He reminds us that God has a plan for each life and that true fulfillment comes from serving others rather than seeking comfort. Ultimately, he challenges listeners to embrace the call to go into the world and make a difference.

These nations are going to hell. I see a world not going to hell. If we just suck it in, if we just drink it in, and we don't give it out, if we don't go out and reach the world, same thing gonna happen that happened in Jerusalem.
Pentecost came, they were comfortable, the Bible said they went from house to house, eating and sharing, and the fellowship was wonderful, and God said they're just gonna sit here, and they're just going to soak in the blessings themselves, and they'll die in the process. And so God sent persecution, and the Bible said they were scattered, and everywhere they went they preached Christ, the Bible said. And God has ways of shaking us and stirring us.
I want you to come to the altar today to give your life to service. You go. But you see, we can't just sit here.
I see a world not going to hell. I want to tell you something else. God's goal is that everybody go.
Everybody. Young people, dads, mothers, husbands, married people with children, everybody has to go to the mission field. God has ways.
If your heart is open, He can send persecution. He can cause you to lose your job. Or you don't have anything else to do but go.
And God has a plan for your life, and God said, are you tired of just making money? Are you tired of the comfort? Are you just looking for security? Or would you like your life to count? Because I've got a whole world of dying people who need you. I see a world not going to hell. You see, you don't have to be an ordained minister.
You don't have to be a preacher. You mean I can actually just pack up, sell everything, quit everything, and move out? Yes. You can go anywhere in the world.
You can pack up and go tomorrow. By faith. And there are some that say, I have no money.
And what did Peter and John say to the crippled beggar? Silver and gold have I none. These men traveled all over the world without a purse. By faith.
He's not going to come and interrupt your lifestyle if you don't want him. Go. The Lord needs you.
Just get a map you can lay out of the world. Just a simple map. And pray over it.
Ask the Lord to give you a nation to place on your heart. Go. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things which are of man and jew. For I am with you always, even to the end of the world.
Even to the end of the world. If you do not answer the call of God that he's placed on your life, you can opt out for ease and security and prosperity and a good job and family life and all of that. If you're never going to have peace, you're going to be the most restless person around.
It's time for some of you to think the unthinkable. God's expecting more.
