Let's see, where to begin? 19 years ago my pastor and the elders told me " Yes Mike is the one you're supposed to marry" after 16 years of marriage he had and affair, never repented or stopped and I kicked him out. for seven of those years the pastor and the elders told me that G-d told them that I would have a baby. I'm now 48 in menopause, divorced and childless. I stopped listening to so called "prophets" a long time ago. Remember if they're wrong EVEN ONCE we're supposed to kill them.

I know plenty of horror stories like that.

I don't have tidy answers.

A lot of what you described occurs because of control freak stuff, arrogance, group think etc.

A lot because folks have not gone through extensive wilderness experiences and sufferings that help purify their hearing and speaking.

I don't understand why God doesn't mature prophetic folks faster in this needful era. And I don't understand why even some truly authentic people miss it as often as they do. I can't believe God is pleased with this situation. Yet, He alone has the capacity to clean this area of the Church up. I'm utterly convinced He will. I don't know why He's taking His sweet time about it.

BruceysMom, Sorry to hear of the flaky input in your life.

Where are you at now with church? Have you found a healthy church?

Do you have anyone who understands?
