David Wilkerson Was Taken On Home Yesterday

The author of "The Cross & The Switch Blade", and pastor of Times Square Church, and the man who won Nicky Cruz to Jesus was killed in a car accident. Below is a writing he did in 1973 phrophesing what will take place in America. Are we there yet?

Wilkerson believed that in April 1973 he received a vision regarding the future of the United States and subsequently gave a sermon on the vision and published a book called The Vision. He has said that God revealed to him a great calamity which was going to befall America due to increase in sins such as homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, and greed.

Some of the details of this reputed vision were:

"Worldwide recession caused by economic confusion"
"At most a few more fat flourishing years, and then an economic recession that's going to affect the life style of every wage-earner in the world. The world economists are going to be at loss to explain what's happening. It's going to start in Europe, spread to Japan and finally to the United States."
There will be a move toward a worldwide, unified monetary system. The US dollar will be hit bad and it will take years for it to recover.
The only real security will be in real estate (until a somewhat later stage, at which point this apparent security will also disappear).
"Nature having labor pains"
Environmentalists will come under heavy criticism.
There will be major earthquakes.
There will be a major famine.
Floods, hurricanes and tornadoes will increase in frequency.
"A new kind of cosmic storm appearing as a raging fire in the sky leaving a kind of vapor trail."[4]
"A flood of filth and a baptism of dirt in America"
Topless women will appear on television, followed by full nudity.
Adult, X rated movies will be shown on cable television. Young people will gather at homes to watch this kind of material in groups.
Sex and the occult will be mixed.
There will be an acceptance of homosexuality, and the church will even say that it is a God-given gift.
"Rebellion in the home"
"I see the new number one youth problem in America and the world as hatred towards parents."[4]
"A persecution madness against truly Spirit filled Christians who love Jesus Christ"
There will arise a world church consisting of a union between liberal ecumenical Protestants and the Roman Catholic Church, using Christ in name only.
There will be a hate Christ movement.
There will be a spiritual awakening behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.
Others
There will be another wave of riots.
There will be a fall in moral conduct.
There will be a new drug that will be popular with teenagers that will break down resistance and will encourage sexual activity.
Homosexual and lesbian ministers will be ordained and this will be heralded as a new breed of pioneer.
There will be nude dancing in church, but this will never be widespread.
There will be occult practices in churches.

Segregation.

They say the most segregated hour in America is at 11am on Sunday mornings, and I believe that. Could it be because of racism? Even in the church?

Oxymoron's???

A fine mess, A just war, A little big, A little pregnant, A new classic, absolutely unsure, abundant poverty .....well you get the point, but here is one that I cringe at.............

A Lukewarm Christian!!! Can there be such a thing? This is the perfect example of "deception", and of the of the parable "the wheat & the tares"............Jesus is saying I had rather you be lost (cold) than pretending to be a christian!!!

Because you deceive others, especially the lost, who think all they have to do is do what you're doing, nothing, and be alright. Jesus says He will spit you from His mouth. Now I don't think He would spit a true beliver from His mouth, therefore, this luke warm person He is referring to is just as lost as last year's easter eggs.

Lukewarm Christians, the deadliest oxymoron of all.

Be Hot or be Cold!!!! Either you're saved or you're lost!!! There is no middle, no gray area!!! Think about it!!!

Please Read And Take The Challenge.

This is a Test:



God tells us to love, love, love!!! If Jesus asked you to give up everything you have and own and to follow HIm, and you answered His call, you may end up going straight to a cross (death), or to a foriegn country, or to your neighbor next door.



He may ask you to sit with sinners, and eat with drunks and whores. He may call you to preach, pastor or whatever, but be assured of this one thing; whatever He leads you to do, it will involve loving people right where they are and wherever He sends us. He is going to ask you to spend your time helping people who will not love you back and never show gratitude for what you gave up!!!


I am going to cut and paste part of I Corinthians 13 and ask that every time you see the word love, substitute your name there, for example, Love is patient, read James is patient, or Sue is patient, and (your name) is kind. Do this and tell me what you felt like when you finished.



I felt like a liar.



4 Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, Love does not boast, Love is not proud. 5 Love does not dishonor others, Love is not self-seeking, Love is not easily angered, Love keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.



If we say we love God, yet hate our brother, the truth is not in us.



Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”



37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”



I feel so unworthy as I read this, yet we should strive to be perfect (mature) in this thing called love, both agape (God) love and phileo (brotherly) love.



In His Love and Praying for You!!!

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
