A Prophecy that made this guy LEAVE Wellspring!

Shawn Lazar's testimony

 Last week, I posted A Sad Story with a Surprise Ending about the topic of fake prophets manufacturing things that look like prophetic words. At Wellspring, we had to make a decision about what to do with the invalid prophetic trickery that's going on out there. We decided it would be an overreaction to stop our own ministry. We decided it would be an under-reaction to just carry on without mentioning anything. 

Instead, I made last week's post as a step toward transparency and addressing this issue head-on. On Sunday, when we do our own stage prophetic ministry, we will address the fake stuff going on and invite people into critically testing every word. 


Today, I want to do two things.

First, I want to give the link to a video and a paper that I put together to explain how to categorize prophetic words and subsequently test them. Click here to watch the video and/or read the paper Types, Tests, and Shelves for Prophetic words.

Second, I want to share a video testimony from a former member of Wellspring named Shawn Lazar. The story is great, and it gives a look at how a genuine word might sound and feel. The scripture tells us not to despise prophecy, but to test all things and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21).

What is your assignment as a Disciple?

From the Pastor's Desk In the sermon "The Job Description of a Disciple," I shared one of my favorite Christian practices: listening to, reading, and watching great Christian testimonies. I consider this a spiritual practice because it stirs my faith to hear how my brothers and sisters in Christ have gone before me, setting excellent examples of laying down their lives for Jesus.  Here is a list of testimonies and resources that could keep you reading, listening, and watching for years to come! I referenced the video about Nikolas Ludwig Von Zinzendorf:  The Rich Young Ruler Who Said Yes . I first heard of Zinzendorf on this Remnant Radio episode called " The Life of Count Zinzendorf. " Testimony Podcasts that I listen to: The Unseen Story (Miguel Valle's testimony is here, and I recorded one with them a week ago) Delafe Testimonies Compelled Podcast Voice of the Martyrs Testimony Books: Foxe's Book of Martyrs by John Foxe Seeking Allah Finding Jesus ...
