I didn’t think that those who wear the clerical cloth could into the occult.
I don’t think Trump was much of a praying man for most of his life but I recall thinking that winning the presidency scared the hell out of him and got him on his knees. Things he did and said at the time left me with that impression.
“I felt like Trump was going to be president twice and that he would have an encounter in his second term, more of an encounter for God and who he is and for his family,” Bolz said. “There’s going to be more boldness in the second term and it’s going to be disruptive, but I think it’s helpful because there’s so many systems in place that are old and tired, and need to be knocked down.”

No duh.
People who call themselves prophets are usually charlatans and hucksters.
Well...
JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....
Wow!
I have to get my hands on this man’s books, if he has written some.
Or is it PREDICTION??
Do you agree with what this MORMON said about Catholics and Protestants??
2. For verily thus saith the Lord, that inasmuch as there are those among you who deny my name, others shall be planted in their stead and receive their bishopric.
Amen.

Well; he sure ain't out in the open about it!
The apostle John was the last true prophet.
That said, this is a pretty easy prediction to make.
I am no prophet and I can see Trump’s reelection from here.
Perhaps you or J. Mac Arthur could share with us which verse in the canon that God declared there would never again be any prophets. Prophecy AND opinions all have to square with the word. If not, neither are worth anything.
You never heard of *wolves in sheep's clothing*?
Scripture is clear that many will come in Christ's name who are frauds and fakes to lead people away from Jesus, but they will look and sound like the real thing.
That's why it's so important to focus on Scripture and not the person and compare what they say to Scripture to verify it.
I was about to fall asleep when God put the smiling face of a of a man I’d seen at the back of the church into my head. The command was clear, “pray for his head, there’s nothing wrong.” Uh, okay, sure. So I did the best I could. This happened on and off for six weeks - always the same image, the same instruction. Then one Saturday night, “Tell him you’ve been praying for him.” Full Stop. What?? I don’t know him - what if he has a brain tumor, what if... “Just tell him.”
So I guess it was just a coincidence he got all that prophesy correct in 2007 and 2014? How do you suppose Kim Clement got it so correct if it was not God inspired?
Did you read the part about Kim Clement? Could you make those ‘predictions’ in 2007 and 2014? And it’s on film, I’ve watched it - it’s on you tube. Not that I believe this other pastor is a prophet but Kim clement, pretty impressed.
Well, technically there will be two more prophets when the two witnesses appear during the tribulation, but aside from that unique situation, we can start with 2 Timothy 3:16-17. (ESV version) ”All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Everyone is familiar with this verse,, but I think many skip right over the full meaning. Read that verse again and tell me what is missing from its description of the role of scripture in fully equipping a Christian, that “...the man of God may be complete.” That’s a pretty exclusive statement. Equipped “for EVERY good work.” EVERY, that means that there is NO good work that requires anything other than the written scripture in order for the Christian to be equipped to perform it.
And that’s just a start. Think logically for a moment: Every true prophet in the Bible was by definition speaking the very words of God. Not, as the present-day self-proclaimed “prophets” do, just spouting a bunch of vague words with unclear meaning, or giving their “impressions.” So, if the written word of God is literally “God breathed”, then any one today who proclaims themselves a prophet must also be speaking words of God that are on par with the written word. That means then, by definition, that anything that comes out of their mouths, unless it is a word-for-word recital of what is already in the Bible, must be NEW scripture, and therefore must be added to the Bible. But there’s a problem: The canon of scripture is closed, and we are clearly warned about adding to, or taking away from it.
Then we have the problem of the accuracy (or lack thereof) of these “prophets’” pronouncements. True prophets were 100% accurate. Not just sometimes, nor even most of the time, but ALL the time. Every time, without exception. Today’s self-proclaimed prophets are a complete joke in this regard. Mike Bickel is even on video acknowledging this issue, though he just breezes right past it by suggesting that “prophets” just need to practice more to get better at it. Huh?! There is ZERO scriptural basis for making a statement like that, and in fact anyone who would say something so absurd cannot have any understanding of the Bible at all.
And I could go on. This isn’t hard at all to prove.
Kim Clement was clearly a false prophet. He even admitted it (though he may not have realized that was what he was doing). During an interview a few years ago, he said: “The Bible says we prophesy in part and when I prophesy, I prophesy what I hear. “Kim, are you ever wrong?” Yes I am....And If I’ve done something that may have misrepresented him I ask him to forgive me.
So he clearly admits that he doesn’t always get things right when he “prophesies.” Well, that’s the end of the story right there then. By God’s definition, a true prophet is NEVER wrong. Not one word, not one syllable, not EVER, because a true prophet is literally speaking the very words of God and is ordained by God himself. Being a prophet isn’t some hobby, something to dabble in when the Charismatic becomes bored with scripture (which I think is what is driving most of this, along with a big dose of ego). It’s not, as Mike Bickel tried to say, something where “oh well”, the “prophet” got some things wrong, but he just needs to “practice more.”
Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (ESV):
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, “How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?” - when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is the word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
