David Wilkerson was a true prophet.
The following prophecy has been attributed to him:
“I see a plague coming on the world, and the bars, churches and government will be shut down. The plague will hit New York City and shake it like it has never been shaken. The plague is going to force prayerless believers into radical prayer and into their Bibles, and repentance will be the cry from the man of God in the pulpit. And out of it will come a third Great Awakening that will sweep America and the world.”
The thing is, no one close to David Wilkerson from his family, staff or from the congregation of his church ever heard him say this quote.
It does not exist in any of his recorded messages or writings, so I cannot confirm nor deny the validity of this quote.
But it doesn’t really matter when you consider what can be confirmed.
David Wilkerson spent years warning America that a storm was coming.
Here is what we know he said about New York City, “In one hour everything is going to change.”
Then he said,
“I believe that when the coming storm hits with full fury, and the nation is reeling with panic and fear, people will flee all false gospels and feel-good churches.
Christians will forget about gospel entertainment and Christian TV, and they’ll start demanding hard truth.
They’ll flock to hear godly pastors, demanding the true word of God.
Their cry will be, “Who will preach to us a prophetic, life-changing word?”
What I can also confirm is a destructive hypocrisy in the Body of Christ toward David Wilkerson.
Jesus said,
“Yes, woe to you, Pharisees, and you religious leaders—hypocrites!
For you build monuments to the prophets killed by your fathers and lay flowers on the graves of the godly men they destroyed, and say,
‘We certainly would never have acted as our fathers did.’
“In saying that, you are accusing yourselves of being the sons of those who killed the prophets, and you are following in their steps, filling up the full measure of their evil” (Matthew 23:29-32).
Many—especially preachers—condemned David Wilkerson while he was alive, but now those same people are laying verbal flowers at the shrine of his memory, because of a single tantalizing quote.
That confirms that even in the midst of a pandemic, there is a more of a tendency toward entertainment, than toward conviction.
Long after many of the prophets died, their predictions came true.
Many of the sons of those who killed these vessels of God stood in awe of the accuracy of the prophecies, but did not repent of the evil the prophecies warned about.
That is what is happening right now.
In reference to the words of David Wilkerson, we are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.
We are missing the point entirely.
All things taken together, if we truly do revere David’s gift, we have to make several confessions.
We must confess that the virus we are fighting is the result of national sin, because David Wilkerson said the storm was a judgment.
If you do not accept David’s rebuke and warning, then you are laying flowers at a tomb, while rejecting the prophet.
David Wilkerson told us why America’s idols would be toppled:
“What is the reason for this judgment?
It will come as God’s wrath upon a nation that has shed rivers of innocent blood!”
David Wilkerson pointed to abortion and to children who were being sold into sexual slavery as the reason America would suffer a storm.
But he also warned the church about carnality and said it was a major factor in the judgment of God on America.
As far back as 1998, David Wilkerson solemnly warned the compromised American church and instructed those with a heart for God to get out of their dead churches.
He also instructed them to seek God’s comfort and protection from what was about to come upon America. He said:
“The majority of churchgoers today soundly reject all prophetic warnings of a coming storm.
Indeed, the American church today is the most blatant “feel good” church in all of history.
But, like Israel, we’re only experiencing the calm before the storm!
“Likewise today, Christians by the multiple thousands are casting off the yoke of Christ, tossing aside all limits and restrictions.
This attitude is prevalent in many of the books and magazines you find in Christian bookstores.
It’s almost as if our leaders are saying, “Relax!
God isn’t hard.
He’s our Daddy, we’re all his kids, and we’re meant to have a good time.
Don’t let anyone disturb your fun!””
Many are still having fun.
Many think this pandemic will soon be behind us and the future will return undisturbed.
It is disastrous to have fun cherry-picking the prophecies that are tasty morsels, but rejecting the repentance that they demand.
Many are doing that right now—even in the face of total confirmation of why God did this—and what we need to do.
But the most chilling question we must ask is what will happen if we do not repent.
Will we force the hand of God to act yet again to try and save us?
Is there hope?
There is great hope!
David Wilkerson not only predicted this storm, he gave amazing counsel for enduring it:
“Beloved, if we’re going to face the coming storm, then we need to be prepared so that nothing disturbs our spirit.
And the only way to do that is to spend time in the Father’s presence, beholding His face.
We have to be shut in with Him, on our knees, until we’re thoroughly persuaded He’s at our right hand!”
“God is clearly telling us,
“Don’t be moved or agitated by anything you see.
Keep your eyes focused on Me, and you will retain your joy!”
“You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence” (Acts 2:28).
We always have to keep in mind that God’s only purpose in lovingly calling us back to Himself is to protect us in such times of storm!
And finally, these soul searching questions:
Are you acting on the warnings of David Wilkerson?
Are you done with carnal churches?
Are you repenting of the sins that God is grieved by?
And finally, preacher—are you telling America she must repent, or will you keep flattering those who are calling down destruction upon us?
