Well said Mr Smit, David Wilkerson and I agree with
you. Here are a couple of extracts from Mr
Wilkerson's book "Set the Trumpet to thy Mouth". He
says the following about 'pillow prophets' - those who
prophesy peace and comfort as being a right that can be
claimed by Christians who "stand upon the word of the
Lord":
..........................................
"Like the pillow-prophets of Israel, their one supreme
desire is to promote luxurious lifestyles and make
people comfortable in pursuit of the good life. They
are not speaking for God. All they are doing is
passing out pillows, one for every elbow of their
followers.
How dare we preach peace and endless good times to a
nation and a people on the brink of judgement! "Is
not my word like as a fire, saith the Lord, and like a
hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces" (Jeremiah
23:29}
Seeing then that very soon the very elements are going
to melt with fervent heat, why do the people of the
Lord lounge on beds of ease and go on carelessly eating
and drinking and making merry? Have you not yet heard
, O Zion, the trumpet sounding? Have you become so
blinded by prosperity, so deafened by the lusts and
cares of this world that you cannot hear. Can you not
discern the times, know ye not that the day of the Lord
is at the very door?......
While the armies of Satan align themselves to do battle
in heaven, while the armies and chariots of God march
in rank to the final conflict, the shepherds play!

Bravo David Wilkerson. You did your best while with
us, and you and your wife have now been called home to
rest.
Yours respectfully,
Curmudgeon.
