As contemplative mysticism becomes the norm within mainstream evangelicalism we’re witnessing more acceptance of hyper-charismaticism.
To help you prepare for an increase of people claiming a “word from God,” Apprising Ministries brings you an in-depth look at a critical charismatic subject well-illustrated by a respected theologian [known for his work on the nature of New Testament prophecy.] – Ken Silva, 2012

Simply stated, a prophet is someone who speaks the words of another. Consider Moses and Aaron. When Moses complained about being slow of speech and slow of tongue, this is what God said with reference to Aaron, “Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do. So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God…So the Lord said to Moses: See, I have made you as God to Pharoah, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.” (Ex. 4:15; 7:1).
Aaron was Moses’ “prophet”. He spoke Moses’ words to Pharoah. Therefore, when anyone is the Lords’ prophet, he must be someone who speaks the word of the Lord to the people. As we read in Deut. 18:18, “I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.” A true prophet, therefore, speaks the pure word of God with divine authority.
(The Dissenter) “Yes, Democrats are evil, but Republicans…” I always hear the David French types, the Phil Vischer types, the JD Greear types, attempt to argue that Republicans are some kind of “opposite” evil from Democrats. These center-leftists, for lack of a better term, will often concede that the left has gone too far with its embrace of abortion on demand or LGBTQ ideology. But then they attempt to equalize it by turning it back on conservatives.
(Crystal Rose Wilson) James White offers a critical examination of James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, focusing on his controversial theological and political viewpoints, particularly in relation to the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. – slide the bar to 3:30.
28 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” Mark 3:28-30 (LSB)
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) As human beings, we cannot know the heart of another. We certainly do not know someone’s spiritual condition as it relates to the Lord. However, determining whether individual Progressives are Christian is a completely different question than determining if Progressive Christianity is Christian. This is hardly a new issue. In his excellent 1923 book, Christianity and Liberalism, J. Gresham Machen compared and contrasted historic Christian teachings with those of theological liberals. At times he would say liberals are religious but not Christian. He didn’t speak to individual salvation but rather the overall doctrines in essential areas. In the Introduction he commented on why these sorts of questions are important,
“A “nonbinary” gender identity is neither male nor female, but rather a rejection of the notion that humans are male or female. In other words, it’s a direct rejection of the clear biblical teaching that human beings are male and female.”
“Look at the map. 338,000+ red dots. Unique IP addresses trading, distributing, and sharing child sexual abuse material… children under 12.”

…NAR, the New Apostolic Reformation. … It is like Grape Nuts – it’s not grapes and it’s not nuts. It’s like Christian Science – it’s not Christian and it’s not scientific. Well, the New Apostolic Reformation isn’t new, it isn’t apostolic, and it isn’t a reformation. But it is a rapidly expanding movement being generated by some of the same old troubling false teachers and false leaders that have been around in Charismania for decades, always dishonoring the Holy Spirit, always dishonoring the Scripture, always claiming miracle signs, wonders, visions, dreams. ~ John MacArthur
“Everyone, not just media and intel agencies, has an agenda. And many of those people will use the current thing to advance their agenda however possible. There are a lot of NeverTrumpers eager to see a foreign conflict fail and derail his presidency, the midterms, and the 2028 election. There are a lot of war hawks determined to feed the military industrial complex at any cost. And there are a lot of people who will say anything for clicks and for the payout that often comes with them.”
(Revolver) These days, whenever the United States gets pulled into military tension, especially in the Middle East, the same fear starts flying all over social media: WW3.
(Diane Woerner – TruthScript) There are many sins of the tongue—gossip, slander, swearing, coarse joking—but one sin may be even more displeasing to God than these: the sin of complaining.
(Barry Bowen – The Trinity Foundation) It rarely gets media attention, but for decades so-called prophets have targeted wealthy individuals with personalized prophecies for the purpose of obtaining lucrative donations.

Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion;
Clothe yourself in your glorious garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Candace Owens, the supposedly right-wing Christian political commentator and podcaster, has been spouting off increasingly wild conspiracies of late. Drunk with the attention she received from her slanderous accusations against French First Lady Brigitte Macron, she pounced on her next opportunity to destroy someone for her own gain.
