This was a recent critique of a recorded version of Wilkerson’s message by Bill DeArteaga, http://www.pentecostaltheology.com/dave-wilkersons-false-prophecy/author of Quenching the Spirit.I have had a chance to meet this man and had him at my home a couple of times and visited his home once. He has written a number of books.I can’t say I agree with his analysis– especially functioning as a medium but not being guilty of mediumship. That makes no sense to me. But the article relates some of the details of Wilkerson’s predictions.
Dave missed it a few times. He even mentioned in time past his prophecy failing. But, he addressed it and moved on. At the same time, prophecy and the prophet in the NT differs from the OT. If they were, we would have stoned DW. He was a man of God who did great things. Still, is there a timeline on prophecy if not stated? I do think some of it has yet to come to pass.
Yes I remember and I remember Dave when his notoriety arose. One had to admire his ‘audacity’ at that time, and I did admire him, his stand and what he ACCOMPLISHED. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Some years later, he prophesied that there would be a 1000 fires burning in NYC as judgment, etc.I still recall what he wrote years later when that did not happen….He said something to the effect that he had underestimated God’s mercy. That’s powerful.
You don’t think 9/11 might qualify as NYC burning? Or that it would change the US in one day________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
In his book, The Vision, he also prophesied that marijuana would be legalized. He also said there would be strange weather patterns________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
I have great respect for how this man went into NYC and shared the gospel with its citizens. The fact that Times Square Church went on to become one of the great churches in a city of millions is a testament to his heart and willingness to obey God.He said things that many of us have said under the anointing as the Lord gave to us. That does not make him a prophet however, at least by the Biblical definition. Men today are too quick to attach the label of prophet to a man, as evidenced by the many so-called, self proclaimed “prophets” in the church today who are mostly prosperity seeking wolves. A true prophet only speaks what he hears directly from on high, and he is never wrong because God is never wrong. That fact alone disqualifies just about every single one today who has the word prophet in front of his name________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”
If I recall right, Wilkerson said They will say ‘the weather has gone crazy!’ Do you remember the close of the Vision (at least the cassette version)? Five words of comfort: God has everything under control.
Why does it say let the prophets speak and other judge? Clearly they are prophets, why judge them?Do pastors get it wrong? If so, then they are false pastors.
