David Wilkerson: Seizing your God Story

This appears to be one of David Wilkerson’s last writings. Dated April 18, 2011. I put it up in hopes it will encourage us no matter what we are going through.

Dearly Beloved:

LET US GIVE THANKS ALWAYS!

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20).

This matter of giving thanks continually was so important in Paul’s theology that he repeats it three: times. (1) “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,” (2) “Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” and (3) “Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:19-20).

Yet without faith we cannot do this as we ought. We are pressed down by so many problems and distresses. Of course, God does not want us to fake it. It seems to me Paul has given us the key when he tells us, “Do this unto the Father.” The great preacher John Calvin said that such singing and giving thanks is all feigning and hypocrisy unless we are fully persuaded God is our loving Father.

Our mouths quiver sometimes with grief so that we cannot sing. We don’t feel like giving thanks. Dire circumstances shatter our spirits. There are times our hearts cry, “Lord, do you really expect me to sing and make melody when I hurt so badly?” “Lord, I am so burdened down with cares I can barely lift my head.” “Lord, I find it hard to praise and speak hymns in my heart. There is too much fear, grief and doubt.”

So it is not easy to respond to this important truth. And God is not severe with us when we hurt. We are his children. Yet these words are given to help us find solace and relief in just such times. We can become so focused on our difficulties that we lose more than our song; we drift further and further away from God’s eternal promises. That is why, in spite of all we face, our Lord says, “GIVE THANKS ALWAYS.”

I am truly convicted by this word from Paul. I want to face tomorrow determined to sing to my Lord and give thanks for an entire day—for all things, in all things. It may be an inaudible song, or it may be an inner song. It may be weak at first. But there must be power in simply doing it by faith, or Paul would not have repeated this three times.

Oh, that ten thousand reading this message would endeavor to sing along with me! What a joy that would bring to the Father’s heart. We ought to follow it up by resting in the truth that God has heard our cry and is working out our solution every day, even now. So, let us go on giving thanks always—and never stop singing love songs to our precious Lord and Savior.

We so appreciate your help in reaching the poor and needy throughout the world. For information on our charitable outreaches, go to our website: www.worldchallenge.org/missions.

In Christ,

I have no church to go to. I am not alone. There are many of you out there in the same place. We know that church is not something that takes place behind four walls every week at the same time. We know what church is to look like, and many of us have not been able to find it. But let the following be a true church service to you today.

I love you, my true brothers and sisters, the precious body of Christ.

If you want your ears tickled, then pass this video.

David Wilkerson: GOD’S HOUSE TURNED INTO A DEN OF THIEVES

Jesus went up to Jerusalem at Passover and entered the temple (John 2:13-17).
What he saw appalled him. Merchants had taken over the house of God! He came
seeking a house of prayer and what he found was a preoccupation with the
promotion, display, and sale of religious merchandise. The religious leaders
were counting their profits. What busyness! Men of God had become hucksters of
religious merchandise, running about promoting their goods.

Tables had been set up everywhere in God’s house to promote and sell sheep,
oxen, doves, candies, incense, and other merchandise for religious purposes.
Money changing hands made the loudest noise in the house—money that was being
made on God and religion.

What terrible pain caused our Lord’s compassionate heart to boil with holy
anger? His great suffering caused his meek spirit to rage with righteous
indignation.

Can you picture that moment? With whip in hand, our Lord stormed into the
temple and began flailing in all directions, overturning the tables piled high
with merchandise. He scattered the promoters, the pitchmen, the hucksters.

“Out!” he thundered, “Out of my Father’s house! You have desecrated this holy
place, turning the house of prayer into a commercial market!”

It was one of the most painful experiences in all his ministry but he could not
stand by and permit his Father’s house to become a den for religious thieves.

Are we willing to fellowship with Christ in this aspect of his sufferings
today? Do we share his hurt at seeing God’s house once again being turned over
to merchandisers? Will we be outraged by the horrible commercialism of the
gospel? Will we feel his rage against spiritual hucksterism enough to withdraw
from all such activities? Do we feel his hurt enough to renounce ministries
that grind out merchandise just for the sake of making money?

Can we share his suffering at this point enough to stand against those who
would turn God’s house into a theater or entertainment center for promoters?
Can we grieve over all the profiteering on the name of Jesus? Can we get our
eyes off the cash and back on the cross?

That merchandising of the gospel is anything and everything where men and women sell their wares under the guise of being a blessing to you. The real truth can not be bought or sold. Just as God overturned the tables back in His day, He will do it again. It will be by an economic collapse and the thieves and hucksters within the church will still try to sell you their goods. Instead of buying their books, CDs, I would make a simple suggestion: find someone in need to give to. Not to liars and apostates. The real truth can not be bought or sold.

David Wilkerson: The Vision

This vision was in 1973. Look where we are today.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Time to wake up BLACK AND WHITE…

I have no “church” I go to. Why? Because it is hard to find fellowship among those who only want to talk about last night’s football game, or the latest book, or teaching of man, or just want you there to help prop up their programs instead of being interested in what God has given you to share with the body. This is my church:

God’s Judgment and America’s only hope!!!!!!

Whoever you may be, you can not say you were not warned of the judgments and wrath to come upon an ungodly nation and upon the whole world. Oh, what will you do? Turn to God and call upon his Name or be one of the ones that will curse Him?

God is going to judge every work, thought and deed that has ever been through the ages. If your name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, you will be forever damned.

Turn from your wicked ways, and call out to Jesus. He is the only One who saves.

You do not need to seek out man or a movement. You can know Him now by calling out to Him.

Second Coming of Jesus

Lord come quickly! Oh that your children had the wings of a dove!
I love you Lord Jesus! I love you! Thank you for your loving kindness for it is new every morrning. Help those stand who are called by your Name for this time! Bless them, hold them up by your mighty righteous right hand! Oh Lord, open up blind eyes and open up the ears who have shut their ears! Be exalted in your children, oh Lord God! For you alone are worthy!

Great Sermon: Wake up church!

Oh how many will pass this one by? Oh God cause us to hear your voice!

David Wilkerson: An Eclipse Of Faith

May we all long to see each other strengthed and filled with faith andwith His power for the days ahead.

David Wilkerson: A Call to Anquish

Thank you marybee for sending me this. Awww, how it speaks what is in my heart. I just am so inadequate! Oh dear God, help us all!

Why Judgement begins in the House of the Lord

The Word of God tells us that judgment begins in the House of the Lord. Why? Because they do not endure sound doctrine. Wanting their ears tickled, they gather teachers among themselves. The preaching of the Cross is foolishness to them. If after hearing and seeing this, you do not question these people and their doctrine, there is something terribly wrong with you. Why o why do you fear to question the heretics within the church. Why o why do you make excuses for them? Come out of her!

Do not watch if you are easily offended by bad news.

The coming catastrophe will change the way we live forever. Many are hearing in their spirits what David Wilkerson says. Are you one of them?

Something you may not have known about David Wilkerson (Corrected)

I am very sorry to mislead my readers. It appears the following story about the sandwiches is not true. It is not my aim to sensationalize and/or mislead. Thank you to the person that pointed this out to me.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=91296

Editor’s note: The story in this column about Times Square Church making thousands of sandwiches just prior to 9/11 is false. Janet Porter confirmed the story with a church staff member as she wrote the column, but was given incorrect information. WorldNetDaily regrets the error.

By Janet Porter

When I was a kid, I read about David Wilkerson who took to Gospel to the gangs of New York. I even saw the movie “The Cross and the Switchblade” that was made about him. Many know about that, but most don’t know what happened in his church just eight years ago.

In the fall of 2001, Pastor David Wilkerson, of Times Square Church in New York City, was warned by God that a calamity was coming. For six weeks they felt an intense burden and enormous heaviness. A critical need for intercession was so profound that Pastor Wilkerson canceled everything on the church calendar – mission’s conferences, youth events and every guest speaker.

For six weeks, there wasn’t a sermon. Instead, there was intercession for our nation with weeping and repentance. They knew something was coming and that something was bad. And that something was soon. So they prayed. And prayed … and prayed.

Then Wilkerson felt God telling him something that seemed rather bizarre. He felt God telling him to make sandwiches – lots of sandwiches. What were they for? Who would eat them? That part wasn’t clear, but his church did what they believed God was telling them anyway.

And on the 10th of September they stayed up all night making hundreds and hundreds of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. By morning they had about 2,000 sandwiches. At 8:46 a.m. the first plane hit the World Trade Center and Times Square Church was ready to feed and minister to rescue workers and victims of our nation’s worst attack.

Making sandwiches all night is a strange thing to do. If someone told me to stay up all night making sandwiches, I’d probably tell them they were crazy. But if David Wilkerson says he’s heard something from God today, I think we’d be crazy not to listen.

He now says he feels the same thing he felt leading up to the attack by radical Islam. In an “URGENT MESSAGE” dated March 7, 2009, Wilkerson said:

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE – EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.
For 10 years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires – such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting – including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written:

… God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11-12).

In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire) … fire … burning wind … will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment – just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?

First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a 30-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.

… I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take – trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.

Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.

Warren Buffett has said that our economy has “fallen off a cliff.” With the election of the most pro-abortion president (and Congress) in history, there’s no question that we deserve God’s judgment.

Just yesterday, Barack Obama signed an executive order to use children for spare parts. So much for defending the “least of these,” as he so often quoted during his campaign. Cannibalizing the weak to help the strong. And by the way, don’t believe everything you hear in the news – Obama didn’t say he was against cloning. He said he was against “reproductive” cloning. Killing a new life after cloning one is another matter entirely: the cowardice of Obama’s “Brave New World.”

The bottom line is that we are economically and morally bankrupt. And it’s reported that Iran now has all they need to build nukes.

So, when the guy who made the 2,000 sandwiches on Sept. 10 warns us: “AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN,” I think we would do well to heed it. And follow the words Wilkerson quotes from the prophet Jeremiah and “turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds.”

David Wilkerson: Many will have their faith shaken

Yesterday I posted a letter that David Wilkerson sent out. Today I have a must see video of David Wilkerson who has came out and warned us of the terrors to come. He got top billing yesterday on Worldnet Daily. If you do not listen to anything else today, please, please listen to this man. He is warning of what is to come upon this earth. We all will be shaken to the core. We MUST know Jesus if we are to stand in the days to come. Lord come quickly!

David Wilkerson: Urgent Message

I received the following from two different people. I believe David Wilkerson is a true man of God and a true prophet. Unlike those within the mainline starstruck apostate church. Do with it as you will, but as for me I will be heeding his warning.  

He writes:

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE—EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.

For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting—including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).

God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11-12).

In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment—just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?

First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. Lay in store a thirty-day supply of food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.

As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We “flee like a bird to a mountain.” Or, as David says, “He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven—his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men” (v. 4). “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1).

I will say to my soul: No need to run…no need to hide. This is God’s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take—trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.

Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.

God bless and keep you.
In Christ,
DAVID WILKERSON
