The Imminent Judgment of God (Pt. 2)

John Shorey made the point that the middle class is disappearing in this country and we now have the very rich and those who are working two jobs at Walmart and McDonalds to make ends meet! John continued to read from Racing Towards Judgment, “God will judge this nation with economic disasters. Critical money problems will strike large and small cities alike.”

Then, David Wilkerson addresses the current issues of our day (in Racing Towards Judgment) that are in our news headlines with chilling accuracy; “There will be violence everywhere. Unheard of violence. Unbelievable violence. Unnecessary violence. Uncontrollable violence. The violence seething beneath the surface for years will explode.” They are saying today, this week, that crime is rising and even death. There is unrest in America, and when all this poverty hits and there is no food, it’s going to explode like crazy! If 50 million people suddenly did not receive their food stamp allocations, we will be seeing violence erupting in virtually every city in America.

Wilkerson’s prophecies went on in Racing Toward Judgment: “No city will be safe. Teen gangs will once again erupt with unparalleled waves of violence. The aftermath of it all is an outbreak of raping, murdering, and burning. God’s judgment will not be recognized or accepted. Men will curse God, and a spirit of lust and greed will overtake millions. An antichrist spirit will spread like terminal cancer. The entire nation will tremble with economic and social upheaval. Investors who just weeks before boasted that no end of the good time was in site will go scurrying like drowning rats to seek shelter from the economic storm. Pensioners will suffer the most. Food lines will appear once again. But, unlike the last depression, the long lines will not be docile. Anger, bitterness, and rebellion will be the order of the day.”

If you think we have mad people in the streets now, just wait until we see this happen. When they’re starving and the money is cut off… money is the root of all evil. I’ve never seen friends divided like if you had a business deal and they lost money. If any other problem arises, the one who you owe money to will come after you because it all comes back to the money. When people don’t have money, they’re going to go crazy! And when people have these cards that the government gives out and suddenly there’s no more money behind them, they will go get what they want!

These are the days that the Bible talks about, and these are the days that David Wilkerson is going into detail about in this book. He says that drought is one of the main ways that God brings judgment on a nation, and we are seeing that right now.

One of the most important scriptures is: Revelation 6:8: I looked, and there before was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

And Matthew 24:7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Jesus is talking about what will be the sign OF HIS RETURN AND OF THE END OF TIME. That’s why I believe people should be ready; so they can tell others and be a witness for Christ. Otherwise, you will spend all your time trying to earn enough money to get one loaf of bread. That’s what the Bible tells you in Revelation 6:6: A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.

  1. I have always believed in God. One day about four years ago I felt a sudden urge that time was short an I needed to return to God. I have been having prophetic visions of the end times an when I try to share with people no one really believes me. This year some people are listening especially when I inform them to start preparing in their homes to have enough food an water for their survival in case something happens. I believe a wise person prepares they don’t sit an wait. Thank you Jim Bakker for getting the word out their of what God is informing you to do in these end times. I really believe time is very short an we need to prepare.

  2. Judgment will divide the sheep from the goats,the wheat from the chaff.Yes, lots will turn to Jesus but also lots will not.The Lord spoke to me on election night two yrs.ago and said,the people have chosen,now judgement must come! I immediately thought of all the terrible things in Revelation and felt dread and oppression overtake me but HE again spoke and said,”you are not seeing the whole picture”! He then sent me to the book of Isaiah 26:9 when thy judgments are in the earth,the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. When people find that their money and material things can do nothing,nothing,nothing for them,the ones that are going to call on HIM will,the ones that the FATHER already knows will not,well they will not.I believe we are seeing the beginning of the final harvest.THESE JUDGMENTS WILL CAUSE HIS TO CALL UPON HIM,REPENT QND BE SAVED!

  3. Pastor Jim,

    Even so-called “born-again” Christians – including those who particularly followed after those covetous materialistic “prosperity preachers” – will emotionally and spiritually “FALL” – if they’re NOT careful in examining the “STATUS” of their personal RELATIONSHIP with God; since they NEVER expected that; in spite of constantly using their [supposedly] reliable “Name-It-And-Claim-It” doctrine in order to “GET” out of God whatever “it” was that they always wanted to “get” from Him; that NEVERTHELESS, these same naïve and covetous Christians will LOSE – like everybody else – all of their MONEY, in the banks; and lose all of their jobs and material possessions during this time of Economic Collapse. This will indeed be just ONE of MANY ways in which the Lord will “JUDGE” His people – and the REST of the nation – for the detestable sin of COVETOUSNESS throughout money-loving America!!

    And right after the Economic Collapse suddenly and unexpectedly “hits” the United States; THEN, all of these Christians, who willingly “went along” with all of this “prosperity gospel” foolishness, will have ONE of two CHOICES of response to make. That is, right after they FIND OUT that they were “DECEIVED” by the “prosperity ministers”; in that they would supposedly “NEVER” suffer financial disaster with “The World”; thus, these deceived money-loving Christians will either get so “ANGRY” at God Himself for ALLOWING them to be greatly “deceived” by the greedy money-minded prosperity “preachers” – and thus, out their great SHOCK for realizing that they have become unwonted “VICTIMS” of the crash like everybody else; and realizing that their “positive confession” doctrine DID NOT “save” them from financial ruin; that consequently, after getting over the immediate SHOCK of having FOUND OUT that they “lost” just about “everything” that they had previously have owned; that THEN, they will most likely get “DISILLUSIONED” with the false ministers and “Christianity altogether; and THEN, become so angry – and eventually so BITTER at even God Himself; that, eventually, these disillusioned money-loving Christians will decide to forever “turn away” from Jesus Christ, and actually “curse” God; as they come to the FALSE CONCLUSION that they were viciously “BETRAYED” by the Lord Himself; with Him supposedly having “played” such a cruel “joke” on them, for supposedly “deceiving” His very own “children”, by NOT warning them of these “sheep in wolves clothing”, that…………..

    These same cowardly thin-skinned self-deceived Christians will forever abandon “The Faith”; and never want to have “ANYTHING” to do with Jesus Christ again!!! All because they themselves – in their excessive greed and covetousness – are so SPOILED with their material gains and financial successes, to the point whereby they NO LONGER care to live godly lives in Christ Jesus. These greedy materialistic Christians conveniently FORGET that “following” Jesus not only BENEFITS them in receiving God’s material blessings; but also, following Jesus is supposed to bring on persecutions as well. In Mark 10:29-30, Jesus says to his disciples, “Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold NOW in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life” [KJV].

    Because most American Christians [whether they be “charismatic” or not] have long been so greatly spoiled by their nation’s long-held political freedoms and economic opportunities, the Church as a whole has long ago taken on a “worldly” attitude, whereby – like most people who have already heard the “Gospel Message” – these so-called “Christians” pretend that they “love” God; but deep down inside their wicked hearts, they really “couldn’t care less” about the “things” of God; and really don’t want to study their Bibles, or have anything to do with “all that Jesus stuff”. Instead, like unbelievers, they IGNORE the Lord and go on their “merry way” to follow the gross dictates of their corrupt flesh, thus living out their carnal lives in the sinful, abominable PLEASURES that Satan deceitfully has to OFFER in this present ungodly world.

    OR………………

    These same naive Christians who “went along” with all of this false hedonistic, materialistic madness – will humbly and fearfully APPROACH the heavenly Throne of Grace, seeking FORGIVENESS from the Most High God, through Christ Jesus; sorrowfully and tearfully CONFESSING their detestable sins of covetousness, selfishness, and greed; and thereby receive from the Lord, His tender MERCIES, in order for them to “get through” the very tough “times” of having to try to “SURVIVE” under the rough and unparalleled adverse conditions of a world-wide economic “depression”.

    So Pastor Jim, no doubt there will be many spoiled saints in America that will get SO “angry” and self-righteously “indignant” towards God, all the way to the POINT whereby they may bitterly decide to “leave” the faith of Christ COMPLETLEY; due to the fact the Lord supposedly, “folded His hands”, so to speak, and utterly refused to “INTERVENE” on their behalf; by REFUSING to give the saints economic “favor” during this time of global financial crisis; and THUS, with the saints wrongfully feeling so “abandoned” by God; that, in their greedy spoiled mind, they will FALSELY perceive the Lord as being most “UNFAIR” to them; in having them so-call “suffer” monetary and material LOSS – just like the REST of America and the world; and thus, these same arrogant spoiled Christians will realize that they can NO LONGER “use” God in the same occultic “name-it-and-claim-it” fashion; i.e., NO LONGER taking Him “for granted” that He would continue — EVEN during times of economic disaster – to so-call “bless” them with more MONEY and material things; as they would greedily DESIRE for the Lord to CONTINUE satisfying their ongoing and ever-increasing ungodly LUST for unlimited luxuries and comforts; and thus, these same “fair-weather-friend” Christians will DECIDE that; since, they themselves have become unexpected “VICTIMS” of the terrible worldwide economic collapse just like EVERYBODY ELSE; then therefore, these same spoiled American Christians – out of their extreme bitterness and resentment towards God – will SEE the Lord Himself as [supposedly] being “NO LONGER” of any “USE” to them, for satisfying their insatiable desire for unlimited amounts of finances and “creature-comforts”; and thus, these same disloyal pleasure-loving/money-seeking Christians will FOREVER renounce their so-called “faith” in Jesus Christ.

    But Pastor Jim, as you are perfectly aware, the choice is OURS as to how the saints are going to RESPOND to the upcoming worldwide economic disaster. Either we can get really “angry” and “ungrateful” towards God; i.e., responding with such RAGE, and utter contempt and disdain towards the Lord – and self-righteously feeling “abandoned” by God; and thus arrogantly deciding to forever forsake the Faith………OR………………

    We can respond with utmost FEAR and reverence towards the Lord; as we should CONFESS that we were most foolish in ALLOWING ourselves to be “duped” BY all of these opportunistic greedy “prosperity ministers” who have “fleeced the sheep”, so to speak, out of a lot of our MONEY ; since we falsely anticipated that we OURSELVES would likewise be “blessed” by the Lord — with as much MONEY as the “wolves” themselves [supposedly] were being “blessed” by God; but NEVERTHELESS, with us becoming VICTIMS of the upcoming economic disaster; that accordingly, we should REALIZE that we were “WRONG” all the while, and CONFESSING to the Lord that it was actually our OWN covetous hearts that DECEIVED ourselves into believing all of the lies of the false “Prosperity-Gospel” ministers – since, in the deep recesses of our greedy carnal hearts, we actually “loved” all of that “sweet talk” about being continuously “blessed” – financially and materially – by God Himself; BUT NOW, with the upcoming global economic crisis having adversely affecting even CHRISTIANS themselves; then therefore, Pastor Jim, our very “victimization” of the economic disaster itself should INDICATE to us that perhaps our “positive confession” theology was WRONG all of the while; and that, with us being the so-called “Body of Christ”, we need to go back to Biblical “basics”, and start re-living the true and unadulterated words of Jesus Christ.

    In other words, Pastor Jim, the American Christian church needs to just DROP its evil naïve MINDSET of “covetousness” which, for decades, has arisen from the incessant EXPOSURE to the materialistic indoctrinations of the infamous “Prosperity Gospel”; thereby having the Church to finally CEASE from being so mentally preoccupied on “money” and “prosperity”, after all these years of being brainwashed by the false “prosperity” ministers; thus, RESULTING in the Church simply going back to Biblical “basics”, i.e., going back to doing the very “will” of our Heavenly Father, as He had already prescribed by the words of Jesus Christ.

    As Christ justifiably scolds the Church of Laodicea for its covetousness, he sarcastically directs his comment, in Revelation 3:17-18, telling them that “Because thou sayest, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of NOTHING’ ; and knowest NOT that thou [actually] art [in God’s eyes] wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I [Jesus] counsel thee to buy [i.e., “take on”] of ME [the] gold [of godly “righteousness”] TRIED [metaphorically speaking] in the fire [of the Holy Spirit], that thou [self-declared “rich” believer] mayest be [truly] rich [according to the Lord’s definition of being “rich”]; and [that you “buy” from ME, the] white raiment [of spiritual purity] that thou mayest be clothed [figuratively speaking, in Christ’s “holiness”], and that the shame of thy nakedness [of wickedness] DO NOT appear [before ME ]; and [lastly, ye should] anoint [so to speak] thine eyes with [the] eyesalve [of the “understanding” of God] that thou mayest SEE [the Lord as He really is ]” [KJV].

    And in Revelation 2:3-5, Jesus speaks plainly of himself, as he WARNS the backslidden Church that “…thou hast left thy first love [i.e., “Me, Jesus”]. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and REPENT, and do the first works [i.e., the “works” of repentance itself]; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent” [KJV].

    And, Pastor Jim, I have no doubt in my mind, that; IF the “backslidden” American Church does indeed REPENT of the sin of covetousness right AFTER the economic collapse comes into FULL manifestation – as opposed to NOW, with us having just a PRECURSOR to the final collapse itself; that accordingly, the Lord will indeed show His Grace and Mercy upon the “backslidden” Church, and indeed “BLESS” repentant believers to SURVIVE this same upcoming “collapse” of the Economy; with the Lord miraculously “looking out” for the Saints, with awesome mind-blowing latter-day “signs-and-wonders” type of miracles of provisions; in the same – or even greater manner – as that of the prophet Elijah; when the Lord “hid” him in the Wilderness, from Queen Jezebel; miraculously, out of nowhere, feeding him with food and drink; keeping him cool in the heat, and warm in the cold.

    If we repent either NOW – or after – the very instant of the collapse; well then, the Lord either way will grant us His “GRACE” to get through the tough times of living under the harsh conditions of a “worthless” American dollar AND little (or no) food to eat. If Elijah “made it” in the Wilderness – by God’s direct provisions from Heaven – well then, Pastor Jim, most certainly in fully TRUSTING the Lord, so can we!!!

    Sincerely yours in Christ Forever,
    Brother Charles

  4. The “love” of money is the root of all evil – not money. Money is just a tool of trade. That word “love” is from the word agape – a love we should have for God and people – not things.
