I’ve received a lot of questions from you the past several weeks about prophecy, politics, and what’s happening in our country right now. On this week’s video blog, I wanted to address two commonly asked questions.
QUESTION 1: ARE YOU STILL A PROPHET, EVEN THOUGH TRUMP ISN’T OUR PRESIDENT?
In a nutshell:
- I want to bring some clarity on the prophetic ministry and what’s happening in our country.
- 1 Corinthians 14:29 says, “Have two or three prophets speak, and have the others pass judgment.”
- God gave us a way to judge prophecies because He didn’t expect people to be infallible. God put checks and balances into the body of Christ.
- In the New Testament, there’s nowhere that says getting a false prophetic word makes you a false prophet. It’s all about the heart! False prophets are people who lead people astray on purpose.
- When I realized I got the prophetic word wrong about Trump, I asked the Lord what should I do; He told me to apologize , not contend. I had to be true to what I felt the Holy Spirit said to me.
- I feel like the Lord is cleansing all areas of culture, including the prophetic movement. He’s pruning us to become noble people that live with convictions.
QUESTION 2: SHOULD I BE AFRAID OF THE GOVERNMENT?
In a nutshell:
- A lot of people are fearful of the government.
- If we’re going to change history, it’s important that we change hearts!
- We live in a country where you’re innocent until you’re proven guilty. When we decide that someone is guilty without a trial and then we behave as if they’re guilty, is that not mob justice (the very thing we’re trying not to become)?
- The people that are shaping history are the ones who are winning hearts, not the war.
- Social justice and morality issues are the fruit of something deeper happening. We need to influence people from the inside out.
- It’s important that we have a strategy that first wins the heart.
IT’S TIME TO LOVE PEOPLE
I challenge you to pray for your leaders today, to change history by pursuing hearts, and remember Jesus is King and He’s in charge.
