Anxiety asks, “What if?” God’s Word says, “Your Father is in control.” It was one of those times when reading or hearing something based on the truth of God’s Word that I paused for a moment and realized that this was echoing a question I have asked on numerous occasions over the past several years. What if? It was no coincidence or random chance that I came across this book, as those two words loomed over me at every sickness,…
On November 5, 2024, the United States held its Presidential election, and Donald Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States. The outcome of this election weighed on the hearts and minds of many people in our country for various reasons, and one group of people affected by the outcome were the self-professing prophets of 2020; the ones who prophesied that Trump would be reelected for a second term against Joe Biden. It did not take long…
It is not uncommon for me to receive daily emails from women in different parts of the world, and by God’s grace, the Lord is snatching many from false teaching. Most of these ladies have exited the Word of Faith movement and the New Apostolic Reformation, and they briefly share their stories and ask questions along the way. However, I am increasingly receiving emails from ladies regarding their time in the modern deliverance movement and how much damage it has…
On October 26, 2024, a one-day conference was held in Chicago, Illinois at the Now Arena. This event was hosted by Mike Signorelli, an “apostle” and pastor of V1 Church in New York, and the event boasted of close to ten thousand people. According to the V1 church website, “Breakers Conference is a movement of warriors contending for revival to come to our cities, freedom to break out in our circles, and salvation to sweep through our regions. Throughout history…
What would you do if someone claimed to have had an extraordinary dream or trance where the last great spiritual battle of the end times was seen in great detail, and the strategies of the enemy against the church were revealed? How would you respond to someone who likened this alleged prophetic revelation to the American Civil War, where Christians would be divided against one another as Blues (spiritual) and Grays (intellectual), and those who opposed the next great move…
It was only a week ago that I sat on my screened in back porch and watched the wind and the heavy rain wash over our land in southwest Virginia while our home remained intact in semi-darkness, interspersed with flashlights and the sound of trees breaking in the distance. Hurricane Helene had touched down in Florida the night before and had made its way inland further than anyone had anticipated. None of us knew the devastation that would transpire in…
It was October 25, 2020. I had received an email from an individual concerning an old “prophetic word” that I had written, and though the email was kind and seeming to be encouraging, a pit in my stomach ensued. This one email affirming this alleged prophetic revelation drove me to repentance as a false prophet. It also began the process of wanting these old words removed from a popular Charismatic media site. For several years now, dozens of these words…
“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.” Psalm 105:15, 1 Chronicles 16:22 NASB We live in a day and time when information can be found at the click of a button, where videos and moments can go viral for good or bad reasons. We live in a time when sound Biblical teaching can be accessed on demand and where false teaching finds viral inroads through wireless connections. With the rise of digital technology, this spiritual…
Recently, I sat down with a friend and sister in Christ who had exited a popular women’s group within the hyper charismatic/ NAR movement two years ago. After developing a friendship and getting to know one another for about a year after her departure, Trish felt comfortable sitting down to tell her story and to discuss some of the teachings that she had been exposed to in the Core Group. It has been a year since that first recorded discussion,…
I love books. It is not uncommon to find small stacks of books sitting around my house waiting to be read. I have a bad habit of buying new books that pique my interest, creating a new pile of books with pristine spines and pages yet to see dog eared corners and the trails of highlighter to mark the insight within. The types of books that I purchase and eventually read for personal growth have changed dramatically over the last…
