January 20th is past, and Joe Biden, not Donald Trump, is the President of the United States. To all those who prophesied that Trump would serve a second consecutive term and assured us that he would be inaugurated on the 20th, I appeal to you in the strongest possible terms: admit your error, take full responsibility, and do not, under any circumstances, continue to put a false hope into the hearts of God’s people.
What you prophesied did not come to pass.
There is not an alternative, spiritual reality in which Trump is still functioning as president.
Nothing is going to change in a month or a year.
It’s over.
Even if there was massive electoral fraud, the results of this election will not be overturned.
Donald Trump will not serve a second, consecutive term.
Face the facts, be accountable before God and man, take the hits that will be coming, and humble yourself before the Lord and His people.
This is not the time for excuses. This is not the time to concoct spiritual myths. And this is absolutely not the time to blame others.
If you prophesied falsely, you and you alone are to blame.
Maybe you did not intend to mislead.
Maybe you were acting in sincerity and integrity, truly believing the Lord had spoken and doing your best to stand firm in faith no matter what. After all, you thought to yourself, isn’t that what faith does?
Maybe you were so grieved over where the radical left was going that you prophesied what you desired, namely, the reelection of Trump.
Maybe you sensed God’s intent, namely that if Trump would repent of his pride and the church would repent of looking to him in an idolatrous way, God would give him four more years.
Maybe you got caught up in the power of the group, finding affirmation in others saying the same things.
Maybe you prophesied what your people wanted to hear, subconsciously tickling their itching ears.
Maybe you got caught up in a partisan political spirit.
Maybe you looked to Trump as a political messiah and God answered you out of the idolatry of your own heart.
Or maybe you fell prey to demonic deception.
Whatever the cause, you prophesied falsely, and now you need to own it. The last thing you should do is feel sorry for yourself and claim that you are being persecuted. Quite the contrary. The reality is that you have misled many.
As a result of your false prophecies, many believers are experiencing a crisis of faith right now. Who will be there to pick up the pieces?
After all, they wonder, how could all the prophets be wrong? (To the extent that you urged your hearers to hold on to the very end, to that extent you are responsible for bringing them to this point of crisis.)
Worse still, some of you issued prophetic threats to those who questioned your words, telling them they had to “believe the prophets” or else. And you did this while claiming to speak directly for God.
The Lord does not take it lightly when His people are abused like this. He will hold you responsible for misrepresenting Him.
So many of God’s people are hurting, and the world is mocking us, thinking that our faith in Jesus is just as false as these failed Trump prophecies.
One young man posted online that he had been telling his family, none of whom were believers, that Trump would be reelected, based on the words of the prophets. He thought it would glorify the Lord when Trump was miraculously inaugurated. Now, he said, he doesn’t think he can ever talk to them about the Lord again.
Do we realize the damage that has been done?
One woman who falsely claims to be a prophet said that God has been making a list, noting who is listening to the prophets and who is not. Those who are not, she warns – claiming to speak for the Lord – will lose their voice and their ministries.
This is deep deception and serious spiritual manipulation.
If God is making a list it is a list of those who misled His sheep. A list of those who threatened His children if they failed to “believe the prophets.” A list of those who brought dishonor to the name of His Son.
Now is the time to repent, openly, publicly, and forthrightly.
Now is the time to find accountability from other leaders in the Body who did not fall into this same error.
Now is the time for some serious soul-searching.
It’s what the Bible calls bringing forth fruits worthy of repentance. This is no small thing.
If you continue to prophesy falsehoods and assure your followers that Biden will soon be replaced by Trump (and I don’t mean in 2024), I warn you that you are moving into complete spiritual fantasy and leading others with you. Careful!
The reality is that I’m writing all this as a charismatic leader rather than as a charismatic basher, as a proponent of prophetic ministry rather than as an opponent. I’m writing as a friend, not an enemy.
In fact, it is a holy jealousy that drives me – jealousy for the honor of Jesus’ name, jealousy for the health of His flock, and jealousy for the purity of prophetic ministry.
I also write out of a holy jealousy for your own ministry and calling.
All of us can make mistakes, even serious ones like this. Our God is a God of forgiveness, and redemption is the central message of our faith. You can come out of this closer to Jesus, deeper in the Word, godlier in character, and more in tune with the Spirit. And to the depth of your humility, to that degree the Lord will restore and rebuild.
But please, I appeal to you again.
Don’t blame others. Don’t make excuses. And don’t perpetuate any further spiritual fantasy. It’s over.
Now, what are you going to do?
I agree.
Keystone go on..
Keystone go on...
Keystone keep building...
We have your back . ...
The Christian post is a leftist rag.
Just another place Satan has corrupted.
The fact is Trump won.
Biden was installed.
The central government is corrupt.
All they had to do was cheat in a few counties.
The rest was a construct to mislead from the truth.
Maybe Michael Brown is a bigger idiot than he lets on.
Maybe Michael Brown is a bigger idiot than he lets on.
Why is it not a pile of manure??
One of my favorite prophet stories from the Bible.
Thee wicked king Ahab and Jehoshaphat (good guy) were going to war. Jehoshaphat said “Shouldn’t we inquire of the Lord on this first?” So Ahab assembled 400 of his best ear-tickling prophets together. They went on and on how there would be a big victory.
Jehoshaphat (having good discernment) could tell they all frauds (yes men), and asked “Isn’t there anyone else, other than these guys?”. Ahab replied “Yes, but I hate that guy because he always says bad stuff.”. Jehoshaphat said he wanted to hear that guy.
So they got the prophet Micaiah. Micaiah said “yup, yup, it’s going to be wonderful, a great victory.” Ahab said to Jehoshaphat “See, that’s why I don’t like this guy, he’s a smart alec”. So Ahab told Micaiah that he had better give him a serious word. Micaiah said “You will die in the battle and it will be a great defeat”. Ahab didn’t like that word so told his officers to put Micaiah in prison and he would deal with him when he got back. Micaiah replied back with a retort for the ages “If you do get back, then I’ll a lying prophet.”
Ahab got killed and the battle was a big defeat.
Anyone can read the full (non paraphrased) story in 2nd Chronicles 18.
I wish Steve Bannon had an email address. (I can’t find one.)
Address the plank in your own eye first.
Michael Brown seems to NOT be focused on the big picture of the cheating, lies, etc of the people who stole the election from Trump, and just wants to put down people who had big faith in God.
In some ways God delivered with so many millions more voting for Trump, shows 75+ million want more like the country God established through our Founders! Millions wising up to the evilness and theivery of the Dems and some Rinos.
The writer pretends to be a Christian. He’s a Christian my ass!
So are you saying Jeremiah was a defeatist, playing dead, gave up when he prophesised the Isreal was going to be conquered?
What in the hell kind of wanna-be-excoriation pile of concern troll propaganda crap is this supposed to be?
Is this Trump-hater talking to Q followers? Or is this left-leaning religionist talking to those of us who believed the courts and government would do the right thing by recognizing the massive fraud that went on and FAILED the nation by not doing so?
In any case, I’ll bet his readers agree wholeheartedly with the brow-beating he’s attempted to lay on whomever still supports the rightful President and to Michael Brown and anyone who stands there with him, I say go to hell. CHYna Joe is not the President and we will never accept him as such.
You think once the fraudsters found enough “votes” we should have rolled over and said “Uncle”?
Go to hell.
He won the election.
Prophecies are a waste of time.
"I truly believe that four more years of Donald Trump would have led to greater spiritual complacency and even triumphalism, not to mention the vulgarizing of our own souls.Four more years of Trump would have destroyed our witness even more severely, as evangelical Christians (in particular, white evangelical Christians) would have been better known for association with Trump than association with Jesus. (As it is, much damage has been done and we have much ground to recover.)"- Hesh Brown
Then Brownstain has the gall to say this.
"Babies were slaughtered at a horrific rate through the Republican presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. That’s a total of 24 years and more than 22 million babies, which is far more babies than were aborted during the 16 years of the Democratic presidencies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama."
Do you realize this rube is actually asserting the GOP killed more babies simply because we held the Office 8 more years (24-16) in Hesh's selection period? That is not just a logical fallacy, it is morally offensive, it is a sinful lie.
And Hesh has the gall, the termerity to link to wiki, which only serves to prove that abortions have directly declined over his selection period, including ALL of the GOP Presidents he slandered.
I’ve had issues with Michael Brown before, but this is the last straw. I will not pay any attention to him going forward.
Didn’t Michael Brown write in 2016 how GOD would never choose a carnal Samaritan like Trump to be POTUS? Why yes, I think he did. “I rest my case your honor as to the credibility and discernment of this witness”. Or as Cousin Vinny would say, “I’m done with this guy”.
Ah, shuddup...putz.
