David Wilkerson delivers a powerful sermon titled 'A Call to Anguish,' emphasizing the urgent need for true anguish in prayer and the church's current state of passivity. He laments the empty rhetoric surrounding revival and the moral decay within society and the church, calling for a deep, heartfelt response to the spiritual ruin around us. Wilkerson highlights Nehemiah's example of anguish and prayer as a model for believers to follow, urging them to seek God's heart and feel His pain for the lost. He challenges the congregation to move beyond mere concern to a place of deep sorrow and intercession for their families and communities. Ultimately, he calls for a return to genuine prayer and a burden for the lost, promising that true joy and restoration come from this place of anguish.
