Let me preface my thoughts by stating that when I use the word “punk”, I am in no way attempting to slander or demean those within the LGBTQ Movement ( I thought this necessary to state as such a term has become a derogatory slang utilized to devalue and discredit such individuals).

As I consider the ongoing plethora of revelatory and mystical voices making their way through the ranks of Christendom (at least within the charismatic movement here in the Bahamas, Black charismatic Pentecostals, and unfortunately certain charismatic streams within America.), I have sat back in amazement and somewhat disdain at the impotence, incompetence, and ineptitude being displayed across the board.

By and large, Prophets (at least those known within the USA and the Caribbean) have lost their place and power as voices of revolutionary change and agitators for progress. Rather they have closed themselves of to whatever agenda soothes their minds and cushions their bank accounts.

Whether it be the ever on-going prophecy conferences (wherein attendees receive unhealthy theological dissertations that produce more bondage than liberty, doing nothing more than many times than offering hyper sensual experiences and providing impractical promises that the good Lord will never deliver upon, being offered at hefty prices to registrants (with no follow-up or commitment to long term relationships).

Whether it be the social media underhanded arguments and insults that are meant to move audiences to take sides and increase divisiveness or whether it is the ungodly quietness and silence from many a major PROPHET of God who praised and honored TRUMP as the voice of God to this world, after his continual prejudice, hypocrisy, and immoral behavior has been clearly seen. You can be assured that the waters of prophetic ministry has been polluted with the fecal matter of unsanctified ambition, cowardice, and a clear deviation from their posts and Christ-like responsibility.

I have sat and pondered within my own self what is the future of the movement of Prophets in this era and why in fact we seem to be so that we exist on opposite ends of the spectrum. Either we are confused, theologically inept ministers who are set on condemning all who do not comply to our belief systems and convictions (issues such as abortion, immigration, spiritual fathering, and revival) or we are passive, overly friendly spokesmen who are unwilling to demonstrate a modicum of courage in the face of blurred doctrines of devils and stagnant churches.

A common deception has arose making Prophets feel that they must now posture themselves in ways that Christ cannot and would never endorse. As ministers of the New Covenant and necessary agents of alignment, our calling was and yet still remains to see the Body of Christ mature into the fullness of Christ.

Yet it seems that we either are innately unable to comprehend what that means and the process to be undertaken to make that happen or we are steadfastly committed to other agendas we deem more noble and beneficial to ourselves.

As a minister of the New Covenant and someone who has given his entire life to seeing the heart of God made manifested in the earth through Prophets, I consider it my duty (be it self-imposed) to cry out in this hour against the dilution of modern day prophetic ministry. Our empire building must cease and our agendas must deviate from the plethora of initiatives we have given ourselves over to that will produce little fruit.

It seems to me that the voice of Jesus the Prophet cannot ring clearly throughout our region because those claiming to echo His voice many times are so full of Self serving agendas, Hyper commitment to Old Covenant practices, Intolerance for truth and TRUE apostolic alignment, and, Theological contradictions that have not been submitted to the finished work of Jesus Christ.

All of the above cripple us and make us unfruitful in the gospel. Additionally, it dampens our credibility in the eyes of God’s people who expect at the very LEAST that we would be faithful in serving them as Christ would.

It is time that the waters of prophetic ministry be made pure again because in the spirit it tastes defiled and can only make God’s people sicker. And if we are unwilling to take a STARK look at ourselves and engage in the kinds of discussions and activities necessary to raise the standard of Prophetics in this day, we show ourselves to be nothing more than cowards who should not be trusted in any way.

It is time for the plumbline to be set amidst the Prophets and the necessary adjustments made, lest we continue to be nothing more than Prejudiced, Untenable, Narcissistic, Killjoy, and Swinish.
