David Wilkerson reveals that the true power of a godly life isn't in performing miracles or calling down storms—it's in having the supernatural ability to turn rejection into an opportunity for compassion, just as Samuel kissed and blessed the very man who replaced him.

Main Points:

• The first mark of a godly person is a sensitive ear to God's voice—if he has all of your heart with nothing held back, he will train you to hear him so clearly that tomorrow at noon, he'll tell you exactly what's coming.

• You don't need decades of theology or a romantic call to China—even if you got saved last week, you can become so sensitive to God's voice that spiritually fat believers will come asking what the Lord is saying.

• Prayer doesn't make you immune from trouble—it's like poking a stick in a hornet's nest, attracting every devil in hell, but if you persist, God will subdue your enemies and bring peace where they "come no more."

• Samuel's sons were thieves, he failed as a father, yet God answered every prayer because his heart was pure—no bribes, no deceit, no guile that would block heaven's response.

• When Israel rejected Samuel after 40 years of service, not one person defended him—but God revealed they weren't rejecting him, they were rejecting the Lord's leadership.

• The shocking power of godliness: Samuel kissed and anointed his replacement, prophesied blessings over him, and said, "God forbid I should sin by ceasing to pray for you" to the very people who rejected him.

• Bitterness and revenge are cancer in your spirit—growing faster than any physical cancer—but when you turn rejection into compassion, that's when you display the true power of a godly life.
