The Modern Prophetic Sin of Simony

The Modern Prophetic Sin of Simony

If you were to search online for ways to activate prophetic gifts, you would find numerous sites offering e-courses and webinars on how to “activate new levels of the prophetic and prophesy with confidence.” These courses offer insight and training in understanding the prophetic ministry and even receiving an impartation for prophesying. Many of these teachers claim that they can help others unlock their potential to prophesy and to use spiritual gifts. There are even courses available to aid in…

Can Prophets Have Demons?

Can Prophets Have Demons?

The modern deliverance movement rests on the premise that born-again believers in Christ are in need of demonic expulsion. Leaders holding this to belief teach people that deliverance maintenance every few months is necessary, which is sometimes referred to in these circles as a “tune up”. Generational curses are a commonality, and numerous spirits are on the rampage, from Leviathan to Jezebel. There seem to be growing facets of this movement, and now there is a teaching and practice emerging…

Examining the Prophetic Lab

Examining the Prophetic Lab

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. 1 Corinthians 14:22 ESV Imagine participating in what is deemed a prophetic seeing experiment. You are invited to join your consciousness with Jesus and to see the way He sees about a specific…

Digital Kingdoms and Ministry Business

Digital Kingdoms and Ministry Business

Years ago, I remember sitting in a local Starbucks across from a ministry leader, receiving tips and instructions on how to advance my ministry. This leader had offered to do this of his own volition, and prior to that meeting, I was excited yet not fully understanding what this conversation would entail. As we sat at that table, he began to explain the importance of consistent personal branding. He suggested that I offer paid e-courses on how to start a…

A Prophetic Oil Spill of Vain Proportions

A Prophetic Oil Spill of Vain Proportions

But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 Whenever I read these verses written by Paul and inspired by the Holy…

I Have a Word for You in 2023

I Have a Word for You in 2023

Every year, there is an influx of prophetic words released by those claiming to hear the voice of God and what He is saying for the New year. There are so many words circulating online that it can be difficult, if not impossible, to keep track of them all and to keep those accountable who claim to be prophets. Recently, I took time to listen to several prophetic words for 2023 and to test them against the more sure Word…

This Is What Victory Looks Like

This Is What Victory Looks Like

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5 ESV We are a week past the midterm elections in the United States, and for some, the words of the self-professing prophets were claiming for months and days up to the election, victory. There was talk…

New Prophecy in the 2nd Century and Beyond

New Prophecy in the 2nd Century and Beyond

In the mid second century, a cult monk turned Christian arrived in Phrygia. His arrival did not go unnoticed as he fell into a trance and “began to prophesy under the influence of the Holy Spirit.” Soon after, two women, Maximilla and Priscilla, joined this man in prophesying, claiming to have divine revelation in the midst of ecstatic behavior. This movement did not remain isolated in Phrygia. Rather, it gained momentum and spread into Asia Minor, Africa, and Gaul. This…

The Rhema Word You Need

The Rhema Word You Need

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 ESV A while ago, I heard a teaching from…

I Hope You See and Hear

I Hope You See and Hear

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Matthew 13:16-17 ESV In Matthew 13:10, we read of the disciples coming to Jesus and asking Him a question, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” His response helps us to…
