This corrupt practice was discussed in Bible teacher Mike Winger’s recent exposé of Shawn Bolz.
Mike Winger: “I’m going to call them Bob and Sally…Bob and Sally were a couple that was very well off, and they had the beginnings of this business that was skyrocketing, like you know, crazy, crazy money….
That was the direction that it was heading. That is very attractive to the prophet crowd… those guys that they love, the rich big money bags guys that they can prophesy to, sincere Christians who love Jesus and just happen to have a load of cash. All of a sudden, you get special words of knowledge for those people.”
Winger reports that Mike Bickle, Shawn Bolz and Stacy Campbell, all leaders in America’s prophetic movement, attempted to recruit Bob and Sally.
