Friday evening I received a word from the Lord regarding a coming ‘maddening spirit’ coming to Detroit and the nation. It all has to do with the strategy of the demonic spirit of control.
Those who embrace the spirit of control (and there are MANY) are in a very susceptible place. The bait is the promise of ‘control’. The outcome, however, is to be maddened when, no matter how hard we try, we lose control as life comes crashing down around us.
I deal with this issue of control in my book Covens in the Church. It’s a much more serious issue even than what I reveal in that book. ![]()
I had a vision Friday night of a steering wheel. Two hands gripped the wheel, and controlled the direction they were going in. I could tell by the grip that the person driving the car was totally engaged, in charge and determined to go where he wanted to go.
All of a sudden, the car started to rock and shake violently. It was obvious the car was losing control. At this point in the vision I saw the masses, all represented by the hands on the steering wheel, going mad. The scene was horrifying. I saw faces demonized and contorted. It was as if they had straight jackets on and were screaming and gnashing their teeth.
The Lord impressed on me that we will see this in the natural and in the spirit. The two worlds will collide. As homes are foreclosed on and finances crash and if there is another terrorist attack… all of this will lead to panic and terror like we’ve never seen. In the spirit, those who are maintaining control will also go mad as the spirit of the Lord is withdrawn. it’s a King Saul reality. I feel the worship and prayer movement will become more necessary than we’ve considered. As the maddening comes, we’ll need Davids to play the harp and minister to the Lord in the midst of the chaos.
1 Samuel 16:23 (NIV) Whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
This is deeply connected with the vision for revival in Detroit and other cities. Revival will NOT happen if we don’t let go of the steering wheel. As we let go, and allow God to manifest in ways we’ve previously not allowed, we’ll see revival and we’ll be immune to the maddening. Beyond that we’ll be in position to minister in prayer and worship to those who have gone mad, to those who are gripped by fear.
Here’s an alarming word by David Wilkerson that I received today. We must be ready:

AN URGENT MESSAGE
I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.
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.
For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.
There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting—including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,
“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.
The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11-12).
In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment—just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.
WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.
As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We “flee like a bird to a mountain.” Or, as David says, “He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven—his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men” (v. 4). “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1).
I will say to my soul: No need to run…no need to hide. This is God’s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take—trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.
Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.God bless and keep you,
In Christ,
DAVID WILKERSON

[...] I’m experiencing a powerful increase in the prophetic just in the last week, and I’m also feeling the impact of a whirlwind of enemy forces who are swarming over this nation. A few days ago I received a vision of a ‘maddening spirit’ coming very quickly to America, and specifically to Detroit. The next day I read something by David Wilkerson- a very serious prophetic warning regarding chaos and riots that will shake even the most godly. You can read more about the maddening spirit and David Wilkerson’s warning here. [...]

11/25/07 – A dream of a coming storm, which the Lord gave to a brother in Christ
I saw a storm coming. The area, where the storm was approaching from, was just the open sky, but there was the sense that it was coming from out over the ocean. I could not tell which coast I was looking out from, but I knew I was looking from America. The storm clouds were approaching and getting darker and thicker. Then three tornadoes, or waterspouts, broke down out of the storm, all at once, and headed for the shore.
After a small lapse of time, I saw myself climbing up some stairs in a house, to my bed in an upper room. I laid down in this bed, and realized that my resting place had changed. The head of the bed had shifted from facing the West, and it was now facing the East.

The Day has come and it is here. It has come, says the Lord God… I shall repay. Your nation is given up, and will be left in ruins, for all their forsaking of Me. The roof is heavily weighted, all its pillars are cracked and no longer can bear the weight of their burden. The wind shall blow, the fire shall burn, and all these riches shall be consumed. A swift storm shall come upon you, and you shall not know from where it shall come, for it is already upon you. It shall reach across the oceans, it shall be swift and catch you unawares. It is building and grows in its fury… it builds and has come.
And this shall be its consequence upon you, thus shall it bring forth against you: Confusion, a swirling wind… water, a flood of fear… destruction, collapse of all your foundations. Even the earth shall rise up against you, and nature shall fight against you, oh perverse and mighty nation. When three times pass, it shall be accomplished… it shall surely come to pass. And the elect shall be gathered, even all those I see of Myself in them, My own reflection shown within the eyes of the first redeemed from the earth. For in a moment, a twinkling of an eye, they shall climb the Ladder, and lie down and rest for a short season, even in the place I have prepared for them. They shall rest, until the Day is done and it is finished. Then they shall arise and descend with the King… And as the lightning flashes out of the east, and shines, filling the sky even unto the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
For your leaders have cast their lot with the Ishmaelites in the dividing of My land… even of the children’s inheritance I had given to their forefathers forever. And so, I shall divide them with calamity, with famine, and with destitution…
Yet they will turn. And anger shall swell in their faces over much betrayal, causing them to repent of that which they had promised, and they will again stand with the children of Abraham, until three days pass over. Then shall they be given into the hand of him, called the horn of satan… their name dissolved, becoming one of the ten for one hour, then plucked up and broken, during which time the Lord shall bring forth of them a great harvest, a great and mighty harvest, a great multitude, a refined and strong people for My name…
Then the end will come.
The King shall reign.
And that accomplished shall be finished…
it shall be completed.
Peace… one thousand years.
