Let’s be honest. Prophecy has been part of the pentecostal ethos from the beginning—but it can get weird.

Have you ever experienced that awkward moment when someone claims to speak for God with an authoritative “Thus says the Lord” only to think, “Are you sure about that?”

I wrote about this in the Fall 2023 issue of Testimony and Enrich. The full article is available here: “Prophetic Discernment in an Uncertain World.” I’d be interested to know your thoughts on this—let’s chat in the comments!

My research on prophecy as been published as Pentecostal Prophets. I’m currently working on a new book that will help everyday Christians explore prophecy with the help of some Old Testament guides.
