A Christless Pentecost! - David Wilkerson

The following is a prophetic warning from Azusa Street 75 years

ago, concerning the dangers of a Christless Pentecost!

Frank Bartleman was an eyewitness to the out-pouring of the

Holy Spirit in 1907 at Azusa Street, Los Angeles. He has been

characterized as the Reporter of the Azusa Street Revival. Nearly

75 years ago, during the outpouring, he wrote a tract warning of

a Christless Pentecost

He warned: "We may not hold a doctrine, or seek an experience,

except in Christ. Many are willing to seek power in order to

perform miracles, draw attention and adoration of the people to

themselves, thus robbing Christ of His glory, and making a fair

showing in the flesh. The greatest need would seem to be for

true followers of the meek and lowly Jesus. Religious enthusiasm

easily goes to seed. The human spirit so predominates the show-

off, religious spirit. But we must stick to our text - Christ.

"Any work that exalts the Holy Ghost or 'gifts' above Jesus will

finally end up in fanaticism. Whatever causes us to exalt and love

Jesus is well and safe. The reverse will ruin all. The Holy Ghost is

a great light, but focused on Jesus always for His revealing.

"Where the Holy Ghost is actually in control, Jesus is proclaimed

the Head-the Holy Ghost, His executive."

In another place, Brother Bartleman warned:

"The temptation seems to be toward empty manifestations. This

does not require any particular cross, or death to the self-life.

Hence it is always popular.

"We may not put power, gifts, the Holy Ghost, or in fact anything

ahead of Jesus. Any mission that exalts even the Holy Ghost above

the Lord Jesus Christ is bound for the rocks of error and fanaticism.

"There seems to be a great danger of losing sight of the fact that

Jesus was 'all in all' The work of Calvary, the atonement, must be

the center for our consideration. The Holy Ghost will never draw

our attention from Christ to Himself, but rather reveal Christ in a

fuller way. We are in danger of slighting Jesus - getting Him 'lost

in the temple,' by the exaltation of the Holy Ghost and of the gifts

of the Spirit. Jesus must be the center of everything."

I do not take Brother Bartleman's warning lightly. The danger of

a Christless Pentecost is very real today. I say to you it is possible

to gather Spirit-filled people in one place, praising and lifting up

their hands - and still have Christ walking among them as a stranger!

It's true He said, "Where two or three have gathered together in My

name, there I am in their midst." (Matt. 18:20 NASB) But He can

be in our midst as a stranger! Ignored, unrecognized - even by those

who meet in His name! The Jews gathered every Sabbath in the

synagogue to speak of His name, and to prophesy of His coming.

They praised the name of the Father who promised to send Him.

They spoke the Messiah's name with awe and reverence. Then,

when He came and walked among them - He was not recognized!

He was a stranger to them!

Christ, a stranger in the midst of a Spirit-filled congregation? A

stranger in the midst of those who speak His name - who worship

the Father who sent Him? A stranger to those who sing His

hosannas, who call Him "Lord, Lord"?

Yes! Absolutely yes! It is not only possible - it is happening

among God's chosen people today!...

End Times - (John M., David W., Carter C., Derek Prince)

2 Peter 3:1-9

"Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

2nd Timothy 4:1-5

"I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

Wake Up Church! Judgment Begins At The House Of God!

When was the last time you heard a word like this preached in your place of worship?

As John the baptist said, so do I, "Repent! For the Kingdom of God is at hand!"

The Bombs Are Coming

I heard this word from the Lord this morning: "The Bombs Are Coming"

Revelation 18:4-8

"And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.  In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’  Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her."

Jeremiah 51:8-9

"Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, But she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go everyone to his own country; For her judgment reaches to heaven and is lifted up to the skies."

This word may be connected to "The Message For America", that Dumitru Duduman received in September 1984: http://www.handofhelp.com/vision_1.php

Also a connection to, "An Urgent Message", from David Wilkerson might be possible as well.
