I sense this is a message from God but I do think it can cause undue fear in Christians hearts. Zac Poonen brings a balance to this here: http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=27808&forum=34

Yes, Fear is our enemy, but we must always fight it first in our minds. Fear is the ‘Stick’ of the enemy in it’s ‘Carrot and Stick’ scenario. However, Wisdom is not Fear. We cannot hear the leading or voice of the Holy Spirit when Fear is large in us. Therefore, AFTER we have conquered the attack of Fear, THEN we can pray with Wisdom and FOR Wisdom from the Holy Spirit about what our individual response should be to this warning Message from God. Pastor Wilkerson has been consistent over the years in the messages God has given him, even as were the Prophets of old, but his messages have been no more believed or popular than those same Prophets.

The spirit of Comfort has seduced America, including Believers. And the enemy has had freedom, as long as we ‘felt’ Comfortable. There have been many smaller voices crying out Truth, whether in the Church or not, but they have been scoffed at and silenced.

We, as the Church of America, are soft. We do not, as humans, want or like pain or messages of pain, including God’s call to Repentence. The Church itself will be changed, hardened as battle-scarred veterans. All soldiers must experience their first real battle, and how they respond will reveal their character.

It is in fact terrifying to watch events roll on, ever since Hurricane Ike, gathering speed and forcing the reality of fearful change in our nation upon us, and it’s not over. No one believes that it is, whether Believers or Unbelievers. Did you think that the very catastrophe prophesied is the blessing of God, that will cause MANY to turn to God in tears? This may be the actual Time that has been prophesied for our nation for the greatest RE-vival (Believers) and birth of new Believers that we have ever seen.

First Judgment, then Mercy. Judgment and Mercy kiss. Whether for the individual or the nation, it is the same, and the purpose is God’s Purpose to bring our hearts to Repentance and Salvation at the feet of our Lord Jesus of Nazarath.

I have great respect for David Wilkerson, but this isn’t the first time he has had such words, and if they don’t hold up, it wouldn’t be the first time his words have failed. That does not make him a false prophet– we are told that one speaks and the others judge, and everything gets tested. He did what he should have, shared it, now the rest of us have to weigh it. It isn’t tracking with me, at least not the way he is applying it (fear, 30 day stockpiles). He has put out a follow-up word which alleviates some of my concerns, but I’m not jumping on board with this, not at least until the Holy Spirit speaks something to my spirit which confirms it.

Thanks SLW, that is exactly where I am right now after a day or so.

[...] David Wilkerson: “AN URGENT MESSAGE” (charismatica.com) [...]

Comment from Norm Rasmussen

When I read brother Wilkerson’s “urgent message” I asked the Lord how Christians are to perceive/respond to it? I believe the Holy Spirit responded rather quickly and what He shared lined up almost EXACTLY with what brother Zac Poonen shares. It does NOT witness to my spirit as given.

I also believe the Holy Spirit shared that Satan desires to use this message David released to reinforce the “crying wolf” phenomenon. It is designed to harden the heart’s of believers to FULLY VALID words of warning if and when they are given to the Body of Christ in times ahead by high visibility voices such as brother Dave Wilkerson. It is also a device Satan desires to use to discredit David’s ministry as well, not to mention other ministries endorsing David’s “urgent message” without any qualifiers.

In Jesus by His grace,

Thank you all for sharing…I do believe this is a fair warning from an anointed man of God….but even as Pastor Dave would say, “don’t just listen to me, but bring your questions to the Lord.” It is up to each individual to consider and pray for themselves and I wish you well in the search.
Please consider the warning as a call to prepare…hearts, spirits, and in the practical.
Please consider this record of events from the mainstream press tracking many of the visions from “The Vision and Beyond” which have come to pass…

John Paul Jackson has said basically the same thing in his “perfect storm” prophecy. He targets what he calls “The Woes of 2012″ at http://www.prayct.org/2009/01/07/john-paul-jacksons-perfect-storm-prophecy/ . He lays it out in detail. Very interesting. It’s very close to Wilkerson’s prophecy.

I came across your blog doing a bit of reading at lunch… I received David Wilkerson’s warning that Saturday morning as did most others. What struck me so about the warning was that on the Thursday before (two days prior) I had been compelled to blog what I received from God on the subject too. Right here is where you can check out and chalk me up as an eschalomaniac… I’m no prophet, though. I don’t study or follow so-called prophetic guys like Perry Stone, Hal Lindsay, et. al. I know of them being raised in church and have inherited several prophecy books but that sort of thing was never my “cup of tea.” However, two to three years ago God began speaking to me about coming calamity, collapse and the fall of America through the Exodus chapter 3. That was just the beginning. Later I received a dream of a decimated city and then other such things all stemming from Bible texts. I’m just a youth pastor and never signed up for this type of thing. I have to do a lot of pride swallowing to post these types of messages and my family thinks I am a bit nuts, but the love me. I’m 31, so they chalk all this up to me young and zealous for God or something. Check out my blog sometime if you like, mostly the archives, but there is a post under June where God gave me another such message stating that all that He has said He will do. I absolutely would love to be wrong, young and dumb. I guess only time will tell.

Prayerfully asking God for guidance-

Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy for your comments. Many folks that I respect have had similar experiences lately. The problem for interpretation is always context and timing. There is a context and a time in which the message that David is giving will be correct and probably your dream of a decimated city.

The question is– is that time now, is it soon, or is there still day and this is a warning of things to come if we don’t respond?
I happen to believe that we had better respond–particularly the American Church.

WHY ARE YOU BOTHERED….. WHY DO FEAR. GOD WILL UPHOLD N STRENGTHEN THOS THAT PUT THIER TRUST IN HIM. ISAIAH 43 SAYS HE HAS CALLED US BY NAME N WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE WATERS THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW THEE AND WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE FIRES (THEY COULD BE FIRES OF WOES,FIRES OF PAIN OR EVEN DESTRUCTION)BUT THEY WILL NOT CONSUME US. FOR HE IS THE LORD OUR GOD AND HE GIVES HIS BELOVED SLEEP AND REST. FEAR NOT FOR HE IS YOUR GOD BE NOT DISMAYED HE WILL STRENGTHEN AND UPHOLD YOU!!!!!!!!!

At least there is much food for thought!!!. First I heard John Paul Jackson’s prophecy about the woes of 2012 on Sid Roth, followed by David Wilkerson’s similar prophecy. I am not sure who first received the prophecy. In addition, there is also the movie: 2012, which is based on the premise that 2012 marks the end of the sun’s 11-year activity, and marks the end of civilization, as we know it, with disastrous events.
