Re: Urgent - From David Wilkerson's Daily Devotion
I received this update today from a former JCM student, Bruce Starling. Some of you may know him. His mother was married to my father-in-law. I don't know if that makes Bruce any relation or not. I guess he would be my wife's step brother.
------------------
NOTE: Many of you will have seen the "URGENT WARNING" that
David Wilkerson sent out earlier this week. (If not then it is
printed at the end of this email). But first, here is the follow-up
encouragement that D. Wilkerson sent out after the 'Urgent Warning':
AN ENCOURAGEMENT - March 8th 2009
-by David Wilkerson.
"If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?"
Recently I felt compelled to send out an URGENT message
warning of an impending great calamity - such that will cause even
God's elect to tremble.
One Bishop asked, "Is there no further word: How should the
righteous respond to such a word?" I can only answer by sharing
what the Holy Spirit is speaking to my own heart and what I am to
do. I shared that I was led in a practical way to lay aside a
month's supply of food - because I have witnessed the panic in the
wake of terrorism. That has to be a personal word for every
individual. This is what I hear the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart
concerning my own spiritual response to impending calamity. It is
simply this -STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD.
"And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see
the salvation of the Lord, which he will show you today--The Lord
shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace" (Exodus
14:13-14). This is the attitude of faith in the face of calamity. What
could Israel do on the brink of the Red Sea? Pharaoh's army is
pressing in, mountains are on both sides, and there is an
impossible sea ahead. The flesh cries, "Do something!" The flesh
cries hopelessness. Can God's people dry up the sea? Level a
mountain? Fight a great army without having weapons? They are
in what appears to be a dreadful, frightening situation. God's
people tremble - and in this hour of trembling comes a word from
God. In essence: "Stand still. Fear not. This is the hour of
salvation. You are going to witness the pulling down of the
foundations of a world power. But in the same hour, I will fight for
you. Hold your peace - be still and see my works." Beloved, my
warning is just one voice among many who are saying the same
thing. We may all tremble for a season, but those who truly know
God's Word will be quickly comforted by the Holy Spirit. We will
be baptized with a great peace - a supernatural quietness - which
will be a tremendous witness to the fearful multitudes.
