I will get the book and read further but this is the gest of it.
So far ..ALL of his prophecies have come to past.
"In New York he saw 1000s of fires, tanks running through the city, serious riots and the stock market totally crashing. We are going to be chastened for our murders of the countless unborn children. We will be in a magor depression."
Dave Wilkerson
You are right...the post said this was to happen in the future.
The ones he predicted that did happen were...
Homosexuals being ordained in the Episcopal church
Oil fires in Kiwait
The youth being a serious problem in the USA
The 911 event
and many more
The one I posted today has not happened yet. With this man..I'm not to skeptical. He added that the president and his advisors would be perplexed and seek council from other countries.
Charlie..thanks for the reply man. I expect various responses with post like these.
I have to agree with hoghuntingchick. With all the talk in 1 john thru Jude about watching for false prophets and teachers, we really have to go to the word. Its the only truth.
Ephesians 4:11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Here is a section out of the book..Judge for yourselves.
I trust you all know who Dave Wilkerson is. I have yet to find anyone who criticises him on the net. He is the one who bravely and inspiringly took th egospel to the inner city gangs of New York single handed. He presently has 5 huge ministries and does not preach money. He is 75 and feels called to strenghthen weak and back sliden pastors.
Here is a portion of his book ..Judge for yourselves.
"...I have sought the Lord diligently about my responsibility to my congregation at Times Square Church concerning the coming crash. I prayed for weeks about what I should do to prepare them for the difficult days ahead. One day I took a walk along a quiet country road, so I could be alone with the Lord to discern his voice. I started my walk at about dusk, and there was a bright moon overhead. As I walked along, I began to think about what I believe is coming... "A few years before the Gulf War, I warned there would be five hundred fires burning in the Middle East. Most people winked at my words. But as a result of the war, there were precisely five hundred and three fires consuming Kuwaiti oil wells, all set aflame by Saddam Hussein. That and many other warnings I've received have come to pass. So these days I listen intently when the Lord is speaking to me about coming events. "On the country road that night, I was seeing in my mind's eye New York City burning in flames. I saw more than a thousand fires burning at one time - an image I had seen before. There were riots, bloodshed, tanks rolling into the streets, troops wielding rifles in an attempt to restore order. People were mobbing grocery stores for provisions, looting merchants, raging out of control. I realized that when riots come, there will be no food left in grocery stores. Computer disasters will affect their jobs and paychecks. Violence on the streets could keep them shut up in their homes, perhaps for weeks. "I became so overwhelmed at these thoughts that I had to grab onto a rail fence to support myself. I started weeping, crying out to the Lord, 'Oh, God, how can I prepare these devoted people for such devastation? They all can't just pick up everything and flee the city. Most have no car, no transportation and little income. They struggle just to pay rent and buy subway tokens, much less to buy hideaways in Vermont or Montana. They have no family outside the city, no hiding place, very little space to lay up supplies for emergencies. Most live in cramped apartments that are already overcrowded with the bare essentials. Please, Father - give us a word, a plan of survival. What can I do as a pastor? You've told me to warn them about what's coming. Why can't you give me your plan for preserving us? What do you want me to tell your people?' "The Lord heard my cry, and he gave me a comforting word. He whispered to my heart, 'David, you're seeing this whole matter from your point of view. Let me show you mine.'"
I think if you live your life by thinking about stuff like that all the time, then your not living, don't worry about his prophecies, for he is not God.
I appreciate the responce. I personally have not been very happy lately wiht my walk in the Lord. I have great respect for David. He actually only prophesies a very small bit of teh time. Teh rest of the time is exhorting Christains to live a holy life. Since my wife andI have been listening to him weekly our lives have been getting in order.
I've been a Lone Ranger Christain for quite a while. I have much of the Word memorized friend..but I know good preaching when I hear it. I plan to listen to him twice a week. The prophecies are nothing that I worry about. In Acts..these things were simply signsto confirm the Word that the man is a man of God..for there are MANY false teachers out there.
I don't follow men nor signs. I do follow God's Word but I must admit ...I am very happy to be finally getting fed. 99% of his messages do not contain warnings and prophesies..just very basic ,solid , convicting and blessed exhortations from God's Word.
