Dearly Beloved:
MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS.
The past few months, we have been receiving an increasing number of letters and writings from our readers about dreams and visions concerning judgments on America. Some of these we discount immediately because they are unscriptural and obviously disoriented ramblings. But what we are now receiving cannot be discounted.
It appears the Holy Spirit is speaking to many godly people about impending disaster on our land. They all see and hear the same message: something is coming soon that will forever change the way we live. These readers are not alarmists; they are intelligent, praying people who love America but have been shaken by what they have envisioned. None of them claim to be prophets, but are simply housewives, laymen, pastors of small churches — unknown, ordinary people upon whom the Holy Spirit is moving in a prophetic way.
When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, Peter prophesied that “sons and daughters would prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:12). For years I could not foresee this prophecy being fulfilled in our time. But our All-Arab Summit in Amman, Jordan, last month opened my eyes.
Fifteen Arab countries were represented at the Summit. We were amazed by the reports we heard of Islamics having dreams and visions of Jesus. One particular Christian internet ministry is receiving thousands of inquiries about Jesus, as well as testimonies of believing in him because of clear visions and dreams proclaiming Christ as Lord. This is happening in every Islamic nation on earth — God be praised.
My message enclosed is about getting to know the Holy Spirit. I trust it will encourage and bless you. We have learned that we dare not undertake any charitable endeavor unless it has been birthed by the Holy Spirit. We fast and pray and wait for the Spirit to give us direction.
The Holy Spirit can bless missions outreaches only as he calls them into being. And he must and does bless what is closest to the heart of Jesus. For example, we believe the Holy Spirit is leading us as we seek his will about how to reach into the slums in Kenya and Swaziland and in orphanages around the world…how to help raise up churches…how to undertake feeding outreaches…and how and when to help in disasters. I do not want to launch a missions project anywhere, unless and until the Holy Spirit gives us the mandate and direction.
God has never failed to meet our vast missions needs. For over fifty years we have witnessed God’s faithfulness. Thanks to all who help us, especially with regular support.
Love in Christ.
His bondservant,
DAVID WILKERSON
