DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD 
by David Wilkerson 
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] 

"Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in 
affliction and iron; because they rebelled against the words of God . . . 
therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and
there 
was none to help" (Psalm 107:10-12). 

They were bound in affliction because they rebelled against God and
rejected 
His counsel (see verse 11). Beloved, could this be you? You have sat
under 
godly preaching and the Holy Spirit has convicted you but still you are 
miserable and continue to sin. 

When a person willfully disobeys the Word of God, his tendency is to hide
and 
cower in fear. He may feel that it is all over, thinking, "God can't use
me." 
When you are in that condition, the devil will whisper to you, "There is
no 
deliverance for you. You're one of those people who never change. God has
had 
it with you-your sin has caused Him to hide His face." 

Satan will pound you with Scriptures, misquoting them all. When you sit
in 
church, you will hear only judgment, not God's mercy-because you are
under 
such guilt, condemnation and fear. 

I am not referring to people who hide from God because they love their
sin. 
Rather, I am talking about Christians who have taken a fall but still
have a 
sorrow and a hatred for their sin. Something inside them cries, "I have
hurt 
God." 

To this Christian, God's Word promises: "Then they cried unto the Lord in
their 
trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out
of 
darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh
that men 
would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works. . .
. For 
he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder"
(Psalm 
107:13-16). 

God never has-and never will-hide His face from a crying child of His. No

matter how far you have fallen or how many promises you have made to
God-and 
broken-He will always hear your cry for help and bring you back into
close 
fellowship with Him.
