The Laodicean Deception | David Wilkerson

David Wilkerson exposes the Laodicean deception where Christians become blind to their true spiritual condition, boasting, "We are rich and have need of nothing," while God sees them as wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.

Preached: October 6, 1996

Main Points:

• One of the hardest things is to see ourselves as we really are and as God sees us.

• The Laodiceans sat under Paul's anointed teaching and heard Colossians read in their church, yet remained blind to their condition while boasting about being rich, increased with goods, and needing nothing.

• A tent evangelist performed healings and cast out demons with a sign saying, "No man could do these miracles except God be with him," yet he was an alcoholic who died drunk in a San Francisco motel.

• It's possible to attend church for years, hearing anointed preaching that should be life-changing, yet grow hard-hearted because you don't apply the Word to your life and say, "That's me, not someone else."

• After years of messages against gossip and racial prejudice, if these sins aren't cleansed from your heart, there's a dangerous hardness that even God's judgment fire cannot penetrate.

• Many will stand before God saying, "Lord, we prophesied and cast out devils in your name," only to hear, "I never knew you, depart from me," because they worked iniquity while claiming to serve him.

• The Holy Spirit will honestly show you your spiritual condition if you go to him with an open heart, but you'll be shocked at what God reveals about the pride, criticism, and blindness in your life.
