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?
That was only after Trump was in office. Before he a pious never Trumper scolding others for picking him in the primaries.
Anybody who’s having a crisis in faith because I said something was going to happen and it didn’t is a moron. I mean I put in the work to tend to be right, but still, you gotta know feces occurs.
Yes, keep going, but please don’t be selective. Be fair and balanced and post Dr. Brown’s articles defending Trump. I have many and the links are there.
Wish somebody would post all the threads proclaiming the various “prophecies” to show how ignorant some FReepers were all swearing by these incompetents, convinced God would come down & right all that was wrong.
I knew since 11/4 that no matter the evidence there was not a court in the country that would even hear the case much less rule in Trump’s favor. It was over on 11/4.
There’s a difference between wanting your candidate to win & praying for that outcome and refusing to accept reality.
Kraken?? Huuuuuge blockbuster announcements?? Powell’s inane ramblings with Wood’s delusions of himself as Christ about to return to earth??
Yet they were treated like prophets here; as tho God spoke thru them. God is not required to agree with us on our choice for president.
RE: That was only after Trump was in office.
Before Trump was in office, even conservative FR posters were divided because he was an unknown quantity. Many were in fact, suspicious openly saying that he’s just changing his tone to get people’s votes.
He donated to Democrats and even Hillary’s campaign in the past, was vocal in supporting government confiscation of private property via eminent domain, and only recently became pro-life.
Trump had to prove himself in office. I give credit to Dr. Brown for coming to Trump’s side AFTER he showed us the kind of President he would be through his policies.
We can only judge a person through his past actions and if he shows us that he is a true conservative, we support him accordingly.
Ah, the Fox News post-course-correction slogan.
Don’t forget Luke 6:45 and Jeremiah 13:23.
I've already demonstrated one of his many falsehoods in his lame attempt to assert more babies aborted under GOP presidents than Democrat presidents simply because he created an arbitrary period wherein the GOP had 8 years more office; when the truth of the matter was that abortions declined during every GOP office-holder starting with Ronaldus Magnus.
That kind of pitched falsehood coming from a pastor is calumny, dude. He asserted a fallacy simply to destroy the character of GOP Presidents in his delusional desire to tear down office-holders and make himself the focus.
Let me make this clear to you -- if Michael Brown was a member of this website, he would have been ZOTTED.
None of those who are students of the bible should be surprised with the present world.
Bull. Many of us were all-in on Trump down the elevator, many more were in after the New Hampshire rallies later that summer, and most of us were all-in by December, and had enough confidence in our man to run the Tedlims out of town.
F off!
Author is a surrender monkey and wants all Christians to join him. Screw him. Trump won.
Trump DID win! And by a large margin. This election was stolen from him and the American People by the Leftist commies that have always opposed him; and, by a compliant leftist media, which covers for their evil doings.
I’ve read the inflamed, angry responses here, and I wonder what I’d missed in the original article.
There is Prophecy and prophecy (little p) If someone comes by and says, “The Lord says, Repent and turn to God” that might be a Capital P, anything else is little p (false prophet)
Too many people are too full of themselves when it comes to *Thus sayeth the Lord.......*.
They are false prophets.
Who is this idiot? Joe Biden is sitting in a big White cell surrounded by a 9ft fence and 30,000 National Guard troops. He’s eating fruit loops and signing blank EO’s that will never happen. The stuff he is spouting is so kray kray it has to be scripted. Joe Biden is not in charge. The military is. They just haven’t announced it likely because they assume we can all easily figure it out.
The prophecies were that he’d serve a second term.
Didn’t happen.
Stop defending false prophets by spiritualizing it.
He could serve a second term in 2024, true?
“I’ve read the inflamed, angry responses here, and I wonder what I’d missed in the original article.
So I reread it.
The author points out - correctly - that:
(1) Trump was not reinstalled this year.
(2) The author does not deny that fraud took place, or the effect of that fraud.
He points out that those who claimed it would be Trump taking the oath on January 20 were wrong.
And he’s right.”
Some here are claiming the author said things that he actually didn’t say. IMHO, the false prophets are part of the group of traitors who walk amongst us pretending to be on our side.
I've used Brown's own words, genius. Want more?
God’s requirement for a prophet is 100% accuracy. Always.
If they don’t have it, they are false prophets.
