I am signed up to receive David Wilkerson’s daily devotional/blog for the last year. You may know that David was killed suddenly in a car accident on April 27, 2011. Since then, his son continues to send out his writings every morning. You can imagine I found it amusing when I read David Wilkerson’s statement in this week’s blog:
“You see, your face is a billboard that advertises what is on your heart. All the joy or turmoil that is inside you is reflected in your countenance. When I speak of countenance, I am talking about facial expression, body language, tone of voice.” David Wilkerson
Do you love your face? God does. The psalmist David said, “For I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God (Psalm 42:11).”
I think both “Davids” are onto something here—something I’ve been trying to say through my goofy poems and devos on protecting our souls by rejecting poisonous thoughts that try to enter there. It’s true!
This face that you see
Is not what will be
I’m destined for heaven
And eternity
But since we’re all still here (we are all here aren’t we?), what is your face advertising?
David Wilkerson’s face is most assuredly advertising total BLISS right now in the presence of God. I hope you’ll take a moment to click this link to David Wilkerson’s article, “HOLY GHOST FACE LIFT”. Come on. Get over all the things you don’t like in the mirror and walk away from trying to attain the Barbie and Ken doll status. As Christians, we need less time at the mirror and more time in the fields of harvest. Don’t you think so?
I just copied David’s comments for a post for 3/3/12. I hope that’s alright with you to borrow your information. It will follow other posts about the Holy ghost!

I’m sure he’s cheering us on right now, yelling from heaven’s grandstands to USE IT!! I don’t use their videos or pics on the site. But I think you’re good if you include the link. You go girl!

Many times, David Wilkerson’s messages have been just what I needed at that moment.

Me, too, Larry. His life was such a testimony–one he’ll keep forever and ever. But what strikes me the most is that now that he’s in heaven it’s his words that remain here. It inspires me to write, if for no one else, than for my own children and grandchildren. His words are still impacting us–Jean is posting this on her site soon. And on and on it goes!

Isn’t that horse a riot? Makes me glad I have a dentist! I appreciate your blessing over my girls. Speaking of teeth, Eden hopes to get her braces off today. Yay! I’ll tell them you said hello. Hopefully I’ll see you at the Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference?
