Pastor David Wilkerson the author of The Cross and the Switchblade, founder of World Challenge Inc. and Pastor of Times Square Church, New York has sent out an urgent message of impending disaster that is to happen very soon.

Pastor David’s church The Times Square Church was closest to the Twin Towers that got attacked on September 11, 2001. Weeks before the planes destroyed the Twin Towers the Holy Spirit instructed the church to cancel all meetings and spend time praying as a disaster was about to happen. David explains everything in his message David Wilkerson: The Towers Have Fallen And We Missed The Message.
On the 7 March 2009 he has put out an urgent message in his blog David Wilkerson Today. In the message he warns that

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE – EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.

He explains what is going to happen and what people must do to protect themselves.

Cup of Tea .
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident.

Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of ‘tea’, which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.

My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was ‘just the cutest thing!’ My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.

Then she says, (as only a mother would know…

‘Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?
