I as well have respect for the ministry God has done through David Wilkerson. I also agree that most of the modern day prophecies or "word from the lord" don't come to pass. If we look back at the Old Testament as you know, a true test of a True prophet of God and "Word from the Lord" was that what was proclaimed as a prophecy in God's name would come to pass. On the other side, if a false prophecy was given then that "prophet" would be stoned. We're not under that law today however, we are accountable to God and especially when we proclaim "thus says the Lord." So, if what David Wilkerson or any other person gives as a "prophetic word" that doesn't come true, at a minimum they will be accountable before God and this doesn't even speak to any church discipline issues/steps. We can even look back to Y2K and the "Prophecy" given..that didn't come true. Or we can look back to the 90's when you may recall a person came to Portland and proclaimed that God gave him a word and that when he saw Portland he realized that Portland was the city where the calamity that the prophecy foretold was going to impact. He then sent letters to the churches in the area and then the time came and went and the prophecy did not come to pass. People have been date setting and proclaiming thus says the Lord, so in this sense it's nothing new and doubtful God is the least surprise by these things either. At any rate, I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of those who proclaim these things either. All this said, it should move us to prayer. Prayer that God would be glorified in and through us and that truth and not fiction would be proclaimed and as Revelation reminds us, that we would be ready and stay ready for His return as well as be ready and stay ready / prepared should anything that is proclaimed come to pass.Randolph Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177320971568686139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-24707492206385065872009-03-12T09:57:00.000-07:002009-03-12T09:57:00.000-07:00Thankyou for making a very good statement on the s...Thankyou for making a very good statement on the subjuect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
