Angels: God’s Body Guards for the Body of Christ

Everyone assumes they can tell the difference between an angel of the Lord and a fallen angel of Satan. I have found that it is easy to miss the presence of the angelic host of God. When they go unnoticed they depart, leaving you without direction. We are led by the Holy Spirit, as He appoints His angels (ministering spirits) to direct us. In order to properly discern the will of God, you must be very sensitive to the ministering spirits appointed to you. If you provoke one of these appointed angels, you can leave yourself wide open for a demonic attack.

“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him. But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries” (Exodus 23:20-22).

God will never leave you nor forsake you, but you can quench the Holy Spirit, causing Him to withdraw His protective angels.

When ministering, it is very important not to quench the Spirit. I cannot express the importance of how careful you must be not to transgress the ministering spirits that are appointed to minister for you. It is a frightening thing to stand before a group of people telling them you are going to hear God for them, and then the spirit of prophecy not to be there for you.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him (the angel). But he said to me, ‘See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy'” (Revelations 19:10).

Many have interpreted this scripture in different ways; I will share with you what the Holy Spirit said to me in regards to its meaning. In the last line I quote “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” The Holy Spirit said to me, “It is not one’s personal testimony that is the spirit of prophecy; but the spirit of prophecy is the testimony revealing that Jesus is not dead but alive for He is speaking to you and me.” Through the prophetic gifts we know many things about Him and what He is revealing about each one of us.

It only takes one blasphemous word or deed to cause the spirits of our heavenly Father to leave you vulnerable to satanic attacks. Not only do you have to mind your manners in the presence of the ministering spirits, but the people must be in line with his desires as well. Keep watch over your thoughts or deeds, otherwise the spirits of our heavenly Father will leave you high and dry.

“Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?” (Hebrews 12:9).

I recall back in early 1995, I was ministering in a church of about two hundred and fifty good old country folks. During those days, I did not know that the Lord would show you whom to call out of a crowd to receive a word of prophecy, so I would just have everyone in the building that wanted a word form a single line at the altar. I would minister until everyone who wanted a word had received one. Now this could take hours. The longest period of time I have ministered non-stop is five and a half hours. That’s without any kind of break at all; no water, no sitting down, and no stopping. With the supernatural strength of the ministering spirits, you do not have any physical needs; you are caught up in the realm of the spirit.

“Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?” (I Corinthians 6:3).

Now, after I had delivered my sermon I offered the people in this little country church to line up if they wanted a word from God. I did not really think many would believe I could hear God for them, because none of them had even heard of me. To my surprise, everyone in the building that I could see jumped into formation ready to receive.

After ministering to the first hundred or so, from the corner of my eye I saw a bright light flash by and depart from the Sanctuary. I stopped ministering and turned to the Pastor and Elders who were standing right behind me. I said, “Someone has grieved the Holy Spirit and the spirit of prophecy has left the building. I cannot minister anymore here today. I am sorry.”

The crowd was confused and the Pastor and Elders began questioning me about what had happened. I told them that the last person I had ministered to caused the angel to depart. They said, “It couldn’t have been this person. He is very sensitive to the Holy Spirit. It had to be the person you ministered to right before him because she is not living right.” I knew who had offended the messenger of God and it was not the person who the Pastor and Elders thought it was.

Six months later, I received a call from the Pastor and he had a report for me. He reported that last Sunday morning the person I had said offended the angel of the Lord came before the congregation. He confessed he had believed my ministry was not of God and asked the people for forgiveness for being wrong. Since then I have ministered to that same congregation more than ten times, and our Lord has given life-changing prophetic words. To this day many of the people have remained partners and a few have become very close friends.

The manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is a sign from God that He is alive and watching over us. You may have never thought of it this way. I learned this truth from the Holy Spirit.

Angels are ministering for us as we operate in these gifts. When you are slain in the spirit it can feel like someone physically pushed you down or clipped you from behind the knees. It is an Angel of the Lord that is doing the work of the Holy Spirit. Have you noticed that some ministers demonstrate more of the gifts in their ministry than others?

The reason is that they have more angels appointed to them than some of the other ministers. When ministering you begin to recognize the different presence of the various angels. This is one way how we know what gift the Holy Spirit will have you to operate in next. The presence of the ministering spirit that slays people in the Holy Ghost is different from that of the ministering spirit that brings the gift of healing. There are various gifts and ministry functions imparted by God and are appointed to different people. One of these functions is the gift of healings, not healing but HEALINGS; it is plural.

“And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues” (I Corinthians 12:28).

There are angels that have different powers over disease and sickness, just as Gabriel had different powers than Michael, the arch angel. I have seen people get frustrated and turn from using the gift God has given them because they did not understand this valuable revelation. At times they would pray for the sick and they would be healed and other times they would not. Out of frustration, they gave it up altogether. A lot of the time the reason why some were healed and others were not is because their ministering spirit only had power over certain illnesses, afflictions or infirmities.

We are to perfect the gift by using it until we find out the measure of its power. We are given to minister God’s love through His saving grace for Jesus said, “They will not believe except they see signs and wonders” (John 4:48).

What power does the ministering spirit have that is appointed to you?

To experience the accuracy of any gift you must first find out what your calling is all about. When you know your calling and begin following its course then you can focus on your gift. Most people want to just move in their gift, but do not have a clue as to what they are called to do. If you do not follow your calling, your angel is not obligated to minister for you, hence no manifestation of the gifts.

Your calling may be evangelism, teaching faith, hearing God, feeding the poor, helping orphanages or visiting prisoners. Whatever you are called of God to do, He is faithful to endorse it by signs and wonders following after you. However, if we are not willing to do what God has called us to do His Angels will not minister for us. Once you have clarity of what your calling is then do it and stick with it; in doing so you will experience the continual flow of the gifts.

“But to which of the angels has He ever said, ‘Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?'” (Hebrews 1:13, 14).

When dealing with the prophetic, angels are vital parts in seeing the word delivered with power. Angels are sent to signify and clarify what God’s purpose is for His people and to witness to the lost and uninformed people.

The book of Revelation was given to John by an angel. Prophets of today cannot deny that prophecy, words of knowledge, words of wisdom are given to them in part by angels. To deny that His angels are speaking to us today would be to say that the Holy Scriptures are a lie.

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants; things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Revelation 1:1-3).
“Then he (the angel) said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place” (Revelation 22:6). “I, Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star” (Revelation 22:16).

Hi Kent,

THANK YOU for the right-on word for my politician friend and his wife. (please note I am not naming them as there are so many enemies in a politician’s life) They called me and we talked for over an hour about what you told them. About half of what you said I have been telling them in prophetic words over the last 6 years. They really trusted you when you said things I had already told them; and then you said MANY things that we didn’t know and that got us really excited and rejoicing over His goodness to take such good care of them, warning them about their enemies’ plans and how the Lord would deal with those people in the end and bless their ministry in politics. You are in my prayers. I appreciate the price you have paid to be prophetic forerunners. May God richly bless you!!!

(Cannot Publish Name)


Hello Pastor Kent!

I just want to thank you for my personal prophecy. It was completely in line with what the spirit of the Lord had spoken to me. It was all a confirmation.

The prophecy gave me complete understanding of some things I had been experiencing over the years. I keep listening to it over and over again so that it can truly settle in my spirit. May the Lord continue to use and bless you!

Be Blessed!
Yano


Aloha Pastor Kent! Mahalo for your friend request you sent.

Also, so glad you were able to reconnect with Pastor Vince on Maui! I’d like to thank you for the prophecy you emailed Ben several days ago! Absolute confirmation and no doubt whatsoever that God was truly speaking through you to us! Best part I loved…you knew nothing of us and God was very specific!

God bless and Love to you and your ohana! 🙂

What about the Gift of Tongues?

It is a lot easier to believe what the devil says than what God says because you were born into sin (ref. John 3:6). We do it all the time. If the electrical company sends you an unpaid bill and you have no money you immediately think they are going to turn off the electricity because you can’t pay the bill. Any bad report you believe right away the worst even though it has not happened. But let God say something good is about to happen in your life and doubts automatically come rushing into your mind. It is almost a foreign thing for us to hear the voice of our creator. We should accept and believe for something great to happen every day and expect Him to speak something good and encourage us as any good father would. We need to be in a relationship with God so that we are always expecting to hear His voice. Most of the time He speaks so gently His voice sometimes is just a whisper. If you are caught up in your own thoughts and emotions you will miss God. You will go on your own way without even acknowledging his existence. You must learn to force your soul (mind) not to let your emotions take control.

His Promises are for Today

We believe that Jesus still heals today. Do you realize what the church had to go through to come to the place where mainstream Christianity believes that Jesus is still healing people today? Do you know that in one country where William Branham visited in 1962 there were over 200 pastors waiting at the airport to make him get back on the plane and leave because they did not believe in the gift of healing for today? I am not saying that Branham was the healer, but rather one who believed it and was blessed with the gift. Those church leaders did not believe that anyone could operate in the gift of healing. How are you going to receive healing if you do not believe? But now the church has come to a place where it believes in healings. We believe in miracles and we see miracles; if you hang around these kinds of people you will see them too. There are people everywhere who are ministering in miracles because Jesus is alive today.

Jesus Christ is same yesterday, today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8

So What about Prophecy?

Have you ever thought about this? I have been approached by men of God who said if Jesus prophesied in the Bible and gave personal prophecy then they would believe in personal prophecy too. There was a time when Jesus was being judged. He had been arrested and taken from his disciples. But before Jesus was taken He said that Peter will denounce Him three times before the rooster crowed. Peter did not believe what Jesus had said. None of the disciples believed Him. They said they would serve Him to their death before they let anyone take Him.

But they scattered! Then what happened? Peter ended up cursing Jesus until he heard the rooster. Immediately, Peter remembered what Jesus said. Jesus had prophesied to Peter and given him a personal word (ref. Matthew 26:33-75). The word superseded what Peter even wanted to believe. Understand that Peter did not want to deny Jesus. He sincerely wanted to die defending Jesus yet his flesh took over and he acted cowardly. He could not fulfill his own will. Do you know why? It is because the word was working in his life.

The ultimate will of God superseded Peter’s will. Jesus was showing his disciples that it was because of God’s will that these things happened. This experience showed them how powerless they were without Him and how much unbelief still existed in their hearts. However, that is not all. That was also an example of prophecy. It was the foretelling of something to take place, and it happened just as Jesus said it would.

What about the Word of Knowledge?

Jesus also operated in the word of knowledge. The word of knowledge is the revelation of things that have already happened or things that are happening right now in your life. This is seen when you know that no one else knows but when the Lord reveals it to another, you know God knows what is going on in your life. When you hear the word of knowledge come forth, you will wonder how he knew that. That is not the point. God knows what you are doing at all times.

There were a few times in my life when had heard the Holy Spirit speak to me. When I was about 35 years old I was home watching television using our new satellite dish when I came across an X rated program and the Holy Spirit said to me, “The eyes and ears of God are everywhere.” As to say you need to change the channel because He sees you. I was not yet baptized in the Holy Spirit; therefore, I did not understand spiritual things. I started looking around the room wondering how God could do that. I started thinking maybe He looks through the eyes of an insect on the wall or maybe through the eyes of my dog that was lying down on the rug next to the fireplace. I thought to myself how does He do that? How can the eyes and ears of God be everywhere?

It just goes to show you that without the baptism of the Holy Spirit you cannot help but be ignorant of spiritual things. God is Spirit, and He is in all places at all times. He is talking to each and every one of us even if we are not listening. He talks to us about all kinds of things: difficult circumstances, beloved people in our lives, how we can walk more closely with him, many different situations. How can He communicate to so many people all at the same time about totally different things? Sometimes He talks to whole masses of people about the very same thing all at the same time for He is omnipresent.

What about Tongues and Interpretation of Tongues?

We believe in tongues and the interpretation of tongues. However, still today there are some who believe the gift of tongues is of the devil. I do not understand how they can believe that! It is clear in the Bible that it is a spiritual gift and it is not from the devil. But what is the gift for? Is it there to just ward off evil spirits like garlic hanging around your neck? Or like a rabbit’s foot in your pocket? What is it there for?

I recall back in 1992 I was ministering in a church in Fort Worth, Texas every Monday night. Each night this one woman would sit right in front of me and speak in tongues the entire time I was preaching. After about three Monday night services I made a point to ask the woman why she continued to speak in tongues while I was bringing the message. Her answer was that she was chasing off any evil spirits that might come through my teachings and to protect the people. This is when I discovered that people just have not a clue to what the gift of tongues is for. It is very simple and you will see in two verses what tongues and interpretation of tongues is for.

“In the law it is written:
“With men of other tongues and other lips
I will speak to this people;
And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,”
says the Lord”
1 Corinthians 14:21 & Isaiah 28:11, 12

God gave men stammering tongues and yet for all that they will not hear me. Do you know that the whole purpose of tongues is to hear Him? Paul says that if you pray in tongues then pray that your mind is fruitful of those things spoken that you do not understand.

“Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.”

“What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding”
1 Corinthians 14:13-15

What good does it do if I speak in tongues and not understand one word? How will you ever know what God is saying? But if there is an interpretation then you will know what God is saying. When we pray in the spirit we edify ourselves. What does that mean? Did you know prophecy is for edification? It is like you are prophesying to yourself when you pray in the spirit (tongues) and then pray in your natural tongue what the Holy Spirit revealed to you Spirit to spirit.

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God”.
Romans 8:26, 27FAITH to FAITH – by Kent Simpson from Kent Simpson on Vimeo.

That it is for comfort and for building up? It is very edifying when you hear the voice of God no matter what He is saying. Even if it is bad news He can make it sweet as honey. There is something edifying about it, even when you are told you will go through difficulty. If we know God is in it with us we have courage and know we will make it with His help.

Kent Simpson,

Thank you so much for the clarification in this article! It really takes the pressure off regarding a prophecy that has been given; and the joy we can have in knowing that the Lord will perform His word to us. God bless you, Prophet Kent, for speaking about these things, so that there is less confusion, and more peace about prophecies. Now I can relax and watch God work out the details of His word to me.

God bless you!
Judith


Brother Kent you are becoming my favorite prophetic voice.

It’s very, interesting that you noticed the same thing I have about the ‘Word of Faith’ movement putting ‘binders’ of responsibility on people, to justify the fulfillment of God’s word in their life.

I have been noticing this element in the preaching of major ministries for years, and knew it wasn’t kosher, but you are the first person I know of, to directly point it out. In the vernacular, it would be called “double-talk”.

Also, this is the best William Branham video I have ever seen.

I am fascinated with the details in this story.

Can’t say that I agree with the “Seed of Cain” story, or teaching of Branham; it doesn’t bare out in scripture.

There may be an element of truth to this teaching, but I don’t believe it is literal, as Branham taught it. I think this falls in the subject matter of a Prophetic Paradigm, where the seed of Cain, or Serpent seed, is birthed “prophetically” or hidden in a prophetic paradigm of relationship, just as Abraham had a relationship with God.

I don’t think Cain is literally a seed of Satan. I think this is where Branham’s gift ended, rather than where it began. His strength was in “real people” in “real time”. I don’t think his gifts were able to flow into people of the past, and future, as he was enabled to do in the present realm. I don’t think his gifting necessarily gifted him in interpretation of scripture.

Although, obviously, he had some great strength there, I don’t think he was extremely accurate. (Just my thoughts on it).


Hi, this is Schzen. I’ve received the prophecy today 20-08-2013. It was sent in the subsequent email to this. It’s having a significant impact. Thank you.

Thanks Prophet/Pastor Kent Simpson for paying the price and following after the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus.

A friend I recommended for a prophecy with Kent Simpson has received their prophecy a week ago and he asked for a prophecy a few days after me. His name is Richard and it touched him big time with the way Pastor Kent Simpson used a convoluted expression with the word breath i.e. blowing on people for their healing.

Pastor Kent does not know that Richard is contending for healing for emphysema.

God bless you and all your team and everyone connected to you and you team.
Love, Schzen

How Do You Prophesy?

This interview between Pastor Ras Robinson and Prophet Kent Simpson took place in August of 1994. Its purpose is to familiarize pastors and laypersons with those who operate in the prophetic gifts. It is our desire to see the church allow freedom for the prophetically gifted to come into the congregations to minister to the saints.

Fullness in Christ Ministries
www.fullnessonline.org

The body of Christ has been instructed in the scriptures not to despise prophecy.

Of all the gifts we are to pursue prophecy
1 Corinthians 14:1

“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy”
1 Corinthians 14:1

There are many questions about whether prophecy is really of God. How can we know it is of God? What do we do when we get a word from a prophetic minister? I hope you will find the answers to these and other questions in the following interview.

PASTOR RAS: I know, Brother Kent that you have an ability to prophesy over people whose face you have never seen. You have never looked into their eyes, yet you can prophesy even with just a note from a person asking for a prophecy. Tell us about that.

PROPHET KENT: Well, it is not really a situation where I need to see the individual, because you must realize that the gift comes from the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that He did not speak on His own authority but spoke only what the Father told Him to say (John 12:49). He told His disciples that it would be better for Him to go to the Father and that He would ask the Father to send us the Holy Spirit (John 14:16).

Now, just as Jesus did not speak on His on authority neither does the Holy Spirit. Whatever He, the Holy Spirit, hears the Father say, that is what He speaks through the prophetic vessel. That is what I began to do: to speak what I heard the Holy Spirit say. In the beginning it was difficult for me to prophesy to someone I had never seen. The way I started prophesying to those I had never seen was when an individual called me wanting to receive a prophetic word I realized that because of distance and schedules it would be impossible for us to meet face to face. God’s sovereign hand and divine plan would see to it that we could not meet together. Suddenly out of my mouth came the words, “Well, just give me your name and address and I will pray and ask God and put on cassette tape what He would say to you.”

When I hung up the phone I was hit by fear. I thought to myself, “How am I going to do this?” Then the Holy Spirit spoke so clearly and said, “Either you hear me or you don’t.” It boils down to this, it is not in seeing or touching the person or even having their picture. It is simply having an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the Church. If you are one of God’s, you are the Church.

Should Prophets Be Judged?

PASTOR RAS: Should you judge the messenger who gives a word?

PROPHET KENT: No, God can use anyone he chooses to deliver a word. You must never judge the messenger by his past, where he stands with the Lord or even by what he does. God can use a donkey if he so desires (Numbers 22: 28). We have no right to decide if God should use a questionable person or not. It does not matter how long the messenger has walked with the Lord either. I have seen some individuals come to the Lord and mature and grow spiritually very quickly. Often a young Christian, called to the prophetic, will give a word but because we judge him or her as too young in the Lord we will not receive the word. That can damage the young Christian and make it difficult for him or her to have the confidence to step out and deliver a word the next time they receive one. This will stifle the prophetic from flowing in the Body of Christ. If we are to be fair to the young convert we should give the word time to come to pass before judging it.

PASTOR RAS: What is the difference between an Old Testament Prophet and a New Testament Prophet?

PROPHET KENT: There are those in the mainstream of the Body of Christ that say that there is a difference in the powers of an Old Testament and New Testament Prophet. I really do not see a difference in their abilities or powers. The only difference is their message. In the Old Testament prophets foretold of the coming of Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem. New Testament Prophets should build and edify the Kingdom of God. The evidence of power seen in the Old Testament Prophets is seen in New Testament Prophets of today. They have the same gift and calling.

PASTOR RAS: Can a prophecy be changed?

PROPHET KENT: Yes, but only by God. There is an example of a prophecy being changed by God in the Old Testament. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and prophecy that God was going to destroy their nation. God did not give any conditions to prohibit the prophecy from coming to pass. After receiving the word the King commanded the whole nation to fast and pray, even the animals. God relented and did not destroy them. Jonah was upset and went under a tree and sulked. God asked Jonah, “Are you upset because I did not kill 120,000 people so that you could be right?” God did not care if Jonah looked like a fool. God is no respecter of persons.

PASTOR RAS: What about a person who is immature in receiving a Word?

PROPHET KENT: There is a great need for more teaching on the prophetic in the Body of Christ. People need to be prepared to receive a word, to know what to expect and what not to expect. Experience is the best teacher. Prophecy changes peoples’ lives. It is not something to be feared. Churches need to open themselves up and allow seasoned prophets to teach and usher in this prophetic move of God. This interview alone would indicate there is still so much that the Body of Christ does not understand about the office of a New Testament Prophet.

Judging a True Prophet?

PASTOR RAS: It is amazing to me. With all this, getting Words of Knowledge about people, looking into their future, telling something that will happen to them, you are kind of going out on a limb. You are projecting into an unknown area to the layperson. How then, is a person to judge if a prophecy they receive is from a true prophet of God?

PROPHET KENT: God answered this question in Deuteronomy 18:10-22. If it comes to pass, then it is of God. If it does not come to pass do not fear the prophet that gave the word. He did not say that he is a false prophet, just not to fear him, because he spoke presumptuously.

A prophet must always remember that he is merely the human being chosen to deliver a word from the Holy Spirit. He must not let his emotions enter his mind so that he will not be influenced by his flesh. It is easy for a prophet because of his compassion to see people healed, delivered, set free from poverty etc. to presumptuously say, “God’s going to heal you!” That is what the prophet wants to see happen. He does not have the authority to say anything unless he first hears the Holy Spirit say it. Even if the Holy Spirit revealed, through a Word of Knowledge to the prophet, a sickness a person may have, it is presumption to go ahead and say, “You are going to be healed.” The Holy Spirit only revealed the sickness. He did not say he would be healed. Our carnal mind, however, wants to say God is going to take care of this matter right now. That is not always the way the Lord does it.

Once, the Lord had me prophesy to a person that he would have to wait for God to send him to another minister to receive his healing. This individual came to a service I was ministering at wearing a battery pack attached to his waist. It sent electrical shocks to his nerve endings in his back to keep them from dying while he recovered from major back surgery. This individual had worked for the electric company reading meters. His job required him to climb and jump over fences. The jarring of his back while completing these tasks had destroyed five vertebras in his back. Doctors surgically placed two metal rods in his back and told him he would probably never walk again. I told him what the lord had said, that He would send another minister to pray for him. However, my flesh desperately wanted to tell him that he was going to receive his healing that night! The kindest thing I could have done for him was to give him the word from the Lord exactly as I had received it.

Not long, about 6 weeks after I prophesied to him, he attended a meeting where Benny Hinn was ministering. Sure enough, someone prayed for him and he was healed. The man has had x-rays of his back made since the night he was prayed for and the metal rods are gone they do not even show on the ex-ray. He now works for Benny Hinn’s ministry and has had many opportunities to give his testimony of healing.

PASTOR RAS: Brother Kent, I have a personal question I want to ask you. Through the years, I have received some awesome Words. I have recorded and kept them all. How do I discern or judge these words? What do I do to let my heart and mind receive these Words? Some of the Words I have gotten are so high and lofty. I mean, I know myself, so how could I ever receive such a Word? How does a person judge a word that he receives?

PROPHET KENT: Okay, I will try not to burst your bubble. You say you have been given great, lofty even grandiose words pertaining to your future. Often we who are “seers” see something the Lord is going to do in someone’s life that seems so grand that they are often overwhelmed by their word. However, when the word begins to manifest and the Holy Spirit brings the word back to their remembrance they think “That’s it? That’s all there is? This is what the Holy Spirit was referring to?” Their mind pictured what was to happen as something very big and important.

I am not saying that what actually happened was not big or important. I am saying that what is big or important to God sometimes does not equal what we think of as big or important. As I said earlier, God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. We do, however, need to begin to see that God’s way is the best way, for after all He is the very creator of the universe.

After Apostle Paul had his Damascus Road encounter, he went to the desert for a time to be taught and prepared for his ministry by the Holy Spirit. When he emerged from the desert he met Ananias, a prophet, who prophesied to him that he would preach to the Jews, the Gentiles and Kings and that he would also suffer much in the name of the Lord. That is how he received his calling, from the prophecy given by Ananias.

Paul probably thought, “Wow, I am going to preach to kings. I wonder how I will get there. Maybe I will go in a caravan of camels with my own entourage of servants. Perhaps the King will come to hear me preach in the synagogue.” But, that is not how it happened. Paul preached to kings alright, but he was in chains and imprisoned. Remember when Agabus took Paul’s belt and bound himself up with it? He then said that the person that the belt belonged to would have the same thing happen to him. The people cried out to Paul, “Don’t go, don’t go.” Paul replied, “I will do the will of the Lord for it is His will that I go.” He knew that part of his calling was to suffer much in the name of the Lord. If he had not gone he would never have stood before King Aggripa. He was summoned by King Aggripa from prison to preach the Gospel of Christ to him. This is how the first part of his prophecy came to pass.

Paul’s road to the palace was paved with prison, chains, beatings and shipwreck. I am sure that Paul never thought he would fulfill the word he received from Ananias in this manner. The reason he was able to sing praises to God while he was chained in prison was because he knew he was in the perfect will Of God. He knew firsthand that God’s grace is sufficient. It is better to never assume anything when you receive a word. Just be patient and wait on God to bring it to pass.

What Does the Bible Say About Receiving Prophecy?


PASTOR RAS: I have always been fascinated by Paul’s instruction to Timothy about the prophecies made concerning him. “This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck” (I Timothy 1:18,19). It says clearly in this passage that by following those prophecies Timothy might fight the good fight. Those prophecies were for direction in Timothy’s life. Paul indicates that Timothy, because of the prophecies given by the Elders and Presbytery, (I Timothy 4:14) could fight the good fight of faith and could stand up holding on to good faith and conscience.

PROPHET KENT: I am glad you are the one that said that, and not me! Let’s face it, I am on the cutting edge here and a lot of times my face feels like an old plow hitting hard ground. In my position I have to be cautious of the things I say. Even if I were to use scripture such as in First Timothy, it would appear as if I were trying to lead people by my words. When you get right down to it, if it is my word, nothing is going to come of it anyway. If it is the Lord’s word, who can stop it?

Timothy could have tried to war against what God said, but it still would have happened. It is better to go with God’s will for your life than to reject His call. I have seen people who have tried to reject their word but it still came to pass and it wasn’t pretty.

Paul told Timothy not to neglect the gift in him that was given to him by prophecy and the laying on of hands by the presbytery. The presbytery was made up of seasoned prophets and elders, men perfected in their gift and established in their calling. They were not men just hanging around giving parking lot prophecies. They were respected by the church leaders and the congregation. Paul told Timothy to follow their words because they came from seasoned ministers who had been established. I would like to add that God gives gifts to men and women alike, for there is no male or female in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Can Prophets Be Wrong?

PASTOR RAS: I have something I want to ask you. I know a person who is being trained to be a prophet. He came to me with a word supposedly from the Lord. However, because of self-centeredness or self-glorifying the word seemed disqualified. I am sure he believed the word was from the Lord, yet the word seemed a little contaminated. Do Prophets ever miss? How is an individual to judge that? What is an individual to do who has received a prophecy that really was not accurate?

PROPHET KENT: Those are good questions. First, I would like to point out that Prophets do sometimes misunderstand what the Holy Spirit is saying. They sometimes want to add to the word the Holy Spirit has given through them. It is an easy thing to do. Even John, who wrote the book of Revelations, was warned not to add to or subtract from the words given in the prophecy, lest the plagues written therein be added to him. The individual who prophesies must have a great understanding of the Holy Spirit. It is not enough to hear The Holy Spirit you must know what He means, for The Lord’s thoughts are not our thoughts or His ways our ways (Isaiah 55:8). Accuracy of a prophet is one of the first areas in which he or she will be tested. Only then will his or her prophetic mantle be recognized.

A prophet must never be arrogant or desire self-edification. He must never appear to be building his own kingdom, but rather the Kingdom of God. The gifts of the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers are given for perfecting of the saints (Ephesians 4:11). They will bring us all to a measure of the fullness of Christ, that the whole body may be joined and knitted together. When every joint is working effectively by doing its share it causes growth to the Body. A prophet must come with a heart ready to minister to the saints in love, desiring to see their situation change for good. He will want to seek the face of God for them, so that they may be delivered from hindrances and bondages that hold them. Prophets are merely servants of the body of Christ.

In answering your question of what to do when you receive an inaccurate word, as I said earlier in this interview, if an individual receives a word from a prophet, and it does not come to pass do not fear him, he spoke presumptuously. God is not going to punish you because you received an inaccurate word which you thought came from a true prophet of the Lord. God is quite capable of dealing with anyone who knowingly gives a false word. I would not want to be in his or her shoes!

Should Prophecy Bear Witness With Your Heart?


PASTOR RAS: It has been my belief that when you receive a prophecy, in order to believe it is from God it must be consistent with the scriptures and your knowledge of who God is. Should it be consistent with the way God usually operates in people’s lives and bears witness with your heart? Even if the word is hard to receive something inside the person should say, “Yes and amen.” Should you maybe get council from your presbytery or even your best friend? What is your viewpoint, do you agree with any of these questions?

PROPHET KENT: Well, that is a lot of questions. We could probably spend the rest of this interview discussing these three or four questions. I will, however, try to answer them in the order that you asked them.

In response to your first question, I have seen prophets limit the Holy Spirit in what He would say to a person because he, the prophet, did not want to step outside the bounds of just quoting scripture. If a prophet is just going to limit himself or herself to just quoting scripture he or she might as well quit right now. If that were the case anyone could read the Bible and give someone a word.

Please understand, I am not saying the Holy Spirit will never refer to the scriptures in the giving of a word, but He is not bound to just the written word. If He were to tell a person that he was going to have a radio ministry in what chapter and verse would he find that written? However, a radio ministry definitely would not go against the written word or God’s character. If you were to need to know from God whom to marry, where to go to school, what to buy or sell etc. what chapter and verse would give you the answer?

The Lord desires to give you personal direction for your life through the prophetic word. The Church has come to the place that it can now believe what is written from Genesis to Revelation. That is where the Full Gospel movement got its name. They believe that everything in the written word actually took place. The Lord is taking us from faith to faith. He is leading His church to the place that we can believe not only what was written, but also what is being spoken today. God desires to have a personal relationship with each of us, to commune with us. How are we to be led by the Spirit if we are not willing to hear what he has to say to us today?

We tend to think of the Bible, as the word of God, but Jesus is the Word (John I: 1 – 4). He can speak to you through the written word (Logos) or spoken word (Rhema). I do not mean to take away from the importance of the scriptures. The scriptures help you tune in your ear to the Lord, like a tuning fork. If you think you are going to hear God without reading the scriptures you are going to miss it because you do need the book. My point is this: the same Spirit that gave us the inspired written words recorded in the Bible is the same Spirit that gives inspired utterances to the prophets of today. A god that does not speak is a dead god. Our God is very much alive.

Our Lord has a distinctive character and personality. You learn of them in the scriptures. If you know His character and personality you will know if your word is of the Lord, for a word should always line up with them. God will often use the personality of the prophet to deliver the word, but it should still line up with the character and precepts of the Lord. For example, Amos did not prophesy as eloquently as Isaiah did. Isaiah could make many of us appear to be illiterate. Amos on the other hand was just an old farm boy. His delivery may have sounded uneducated, but it still had the fragrance and knowledge of God.

There are times when I have received a word I was not sure was truly from the Lord, but I did not throw it away. I simply put it on a shelf and waited. When it did not come to pass I did not go around telling everyone that the one who gave it was a false prophet. We must be willing to extend grace to those who are in the process of perfecting their gift. Remember were grace is given, grace is received.

In reference to your second question, I have had people say, “No, that is not me. That is not where I’m going; how can that happen because it does not bear witness with my spirit?” Well, it did not bear witness with their head! You cannot judge prophecy with your mind. If the word given was prophetic (not a Word of Knowledge or a Word of Wisdom) then it is in the future, it has not happened yet. Of course, it may not bear witness with your spirit. Do you think it bore witness with David’s spirit when Nathan prophesied that because of his sin God would bring a sword upon his house? I don’t think so!

There usually is no evidence of any of the word taking place in your life at the time it is given, because God has not begun to lead you in that direction. Often a person will try to be something he is not called to be. He is frustrated believing the Devil is hindering him from accomplishing what he believes God wants him to do. He may even have tried to bind the Devil from coming against him, when in actuality he was binding God. The Lord may have been trying to stop him from going in a direction that He has not ordained for him. A person could be doing something that we would consider a good thing. However, if God is not involved it is considered a dead work and repentance is required (Hebrews 6: 1). It is important that we find out from God what He has called us to do individually and do that for anything more or less would be disobedient.

Finally, I want to address your last question. Should you receive counsel after receiving a word? As a boy, Joseph had a dream that he would someday be a great man and that his whole family would bow at his feet. This was a prophetic dream. When he shared it with his brothers they became angry and plotted to get rid of him. We all know that Joseph found himself thrown into a well by his brothers. They did not believe Joseph’s dream, but that did not keep it from coming to pass.

There are times when one may need to seek counsel and there are times when it is better to keep your word to yourself. The Bible says that Mary, Jesus’ mother, after hearing all that was told to the shepherds by the Angels of the Lord, kept those things and pondered them in her heart (Luke 2: 17 – 19). She knew if she were to share with every one she met all the things the Lord had revealed to her before its appointed time they would think she was crazy.

I believe that it is very important to record every word I give, because I need to be accountable for them. I find that most people cannot remember their word after they receive it. If there is any misunderstanding of the word they can go back and listen to it over and over again. I do not think it is wise to let just any one listen to your word. They may want to take it apart, dissect it and give their own interpretation. This will only cause confusion and will not affect the outcome of the word whatsoever. If it is of God no one can stop it from happening.

The purpose of seeking counsel after receiving a word usually is to judge the word. Paul said, “The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets” (I Corinthians 14: 32). That would indicate that the best person to judge a prophecy is another prophet. To take a word of prophecy and give it to someone who neither operates in nor knows about the gift to judge it is like trying to write your name with your foot. It is the wrong part of the body. It is not their calling. It works better if you use the correct member of the body.

Who Is A False Prophet?


PASTOR RAS: When I first began to learn about prophecy, nearly 20 years ago, I basically learned how to spell the word. I did not know much about it. I thought then that surely this was the time when the Spirit was going to be poured out and all would prophesy. However, there were about ten years beginning in about 1975 that, in my circles, there was almost never a prophecy given. We then went through a time with the Kansas City Prophets and all the things that happened there. Then in our Fullness Conferences, a couple of years ago, we began to have people like Paul Cain and one or two others who came and gave some teaching and some Prophetic Words.

I cannot speak for all parts of the body, but even today there is not a real outpouring of the prophetic gift. I believe we may now be on the leading edge of something new. With all that said, I want to ask you this question. What is your definition of a false prophet? I know that the answer to this question is a concern to many people.

PROPHET KENT: False Prophets are mentioned a number of times in the scriptures. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that if there are false prophets then there also must be true prophets somewhere. The process of culling them out should not be as difficult as we try to make it.

A powerful Evangelist once wrote a booklet called “Satan’s Evangelist”. He pointed out Hugh Hefner, producer of Play Boy magazine, and Larry Flynt, producer of Hustler magazine and Madam O’hara, as people who have spent a great deal of time and money leading people away from the Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who leads people into open sin, to believe that sin is okay and has no consequence, or that there is no God so eat, drink, and be merry for nothing is going to come of it, is a false evangelist. The same is true with false prophets.

Years ago you would turn on your television and you would see 900 numbers offering psychics, tarot card readers, star-gazers and omen readers. These people will not lead you to Jesus Christ. I believe that they are why the Lord is raising up the prophetic in the Church today. Where it is dark it is getting darker and where it is light it is getting brighter. I have been in contact with too many Christians who have called those numbers. They want to know of things to come, but they are indoctrinated so heavily about false prophets that they are afraid to consult a “prophet”. They do not know that they will receive a curse on their life as penalty for seeking a psychic or spiritualist. God is using the Prophets of today to reverse the curse for those who have sought false prophets.

I have seen the destruction in these individual’s lives, for Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. What the Psychics say to you may not sound as though it will bring destruction in your life. You may even think they are totally wrong, but those things they said will begin to work in your life, because you came believing in and receiving from them. If you come into agreement with the devil or any of his ambassadors you will receive a curse. The Church must stop judging so harshly those who are attempting to walk out and begin operating in their gifts. Paul said to Timothy in I Timothy 4:14, “Do not neglect the gift that was given unto you through prophecy, and laying upon of hands.” If we are not going to neglect it, we must then learn to perfect it. If we are to learn to perfect it we need a place to operate in it.

There is no better place, I pray, than amongst those who are gracious and merciful enough to allow people to begin to step out into prophecy and learn. You are not suddenly “zapped” and it begins to work in you. It is something you have to begin to perfect. Everybody has muscles. They come in all different sizes, depending on how much they are used. They can be massive or they can be almost non-existent, but they are there. It is the same with the gift. It is there; we just need to see it begin to be exercised.

There needs to be an atmosphere for the laying on of hands and prophecy to stir up the gifts in one another, to see that gift manifested. The gift does come in measure. In the book of Romans chapter 12, it is recorded that we prophesy by the measure of faith, not our faith but the gift of faith that comes to us from the Holy Spirit. Now, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The scriptures say we know in part and prophesy in part. I am not going to know everything about those who seek a word. I cannot read their minds or see everything that is going to happen in their lives. I can only see part and know about that part of their lives that God reveals. That is why it is good to get a little part here and a little part there, like pieces of a puzzle. The more pieces you get the bigger the picture is and the clearer the Word of the Lord.

Confirmation is greatly needed, because when you hear the Word of the Lord through two or more witnesses every word is established. The true test for obtaining confirmation is to ask the Holy Spirit to confirm God’s will in a way you know without a double that it is Him and not man’s will. Too many people go around sharing their word with their friend and then asking them what they think. This is not going give you anything but the opinion of that person. We need to be patient and allow the Holy Spirit to confirm the word in His own way. This process within itself can become a very strong testimony to share later and a great experience in learning the ways of God.

Comments and Testimonies

Then Jesus said to him,
“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
John 4:48

Prophecy is the testimony that Jesus is not dead but Alive and Speaking to you and I.
Kent Simpson,
Prophetic Pastor


Dear Prophet Kent,

Just found you on Elisha List and the Lord does want me to come to your ministry and get under the Prophetic Spout, I’ve been involved in the Hollywood film industry and then the Lord sent me to Nashville,TN where my wife Cheryl came under tremendous physical attacks, blood clots, hospital stays. I brought her to North Carolina to her original doctor, he ordered ultra sound of the pancreas, results come Monday, so please pray for that.

Your testimonies from your Norway trip are awesome; the prophetic is so needed today.

Pastor Gary Greenwald has been a friend of mine for years, I’m sure you know Pastor Gary at Eagle’s Nest, California. Prophet Dennis Tinerino was also a good friend but has gone on to be with the Lord, your ministry is so needed especially here in the South. A prophet from California gave me a word that I would be ministering in the Colonial States, I had no intentions, but here I am in the South, the prophetic is valuable for protection and direction. I am also Texas born, Wichita Falls. I will become a partner for sure. Lord I thank you for Kent, that he sees what You see, here’s what You hear, and speaks what You speak.


Regarding My Prophecy,

It was right on………..and confirmation. Thank you. …..oh btw…..there was even a manifestation of a Feather floating next to me right after I received the word. Confirmation of the Messenger Angel.

Brother Kent,

I have to Give you a testimony on a Prayer cloth and thank you for a prophetic cd you sent me. My name is Michele Giampietro and I am a member of Bethel Apostolic Pentecostal Church in Old Westbury in NY.

My mother had a plumber as well as a family friend doing some work in her home just less than a week ago when he fell 17 feet from her attic to a hard tile stairway. He cracked his skull open in two places. My mom a backslidden Christian called me immediately to tell me, that he was in critical care and might not make it. I brought my prayer cloth with Hebrews 1-14 and 1 Timothy 4:14 on it. My mother and I prayed for a few hours to for him, his family and for her and my stepdad. I left the cloth with my mom. I had my friends praying, as well as I all week. I saw angels administering immediately, and one of my elders said God would keep him through the night. The doctors operated on his skull it was cracked in two places and in a coma.

Today at church I brought my mom it’s the second time she has been back in a Pentecostal church in over 25 years. She came feeling guilt (which we and she even knows is not of God. To cut to the chase I had your prayer cloth and had it when I went up with my mom to have elders pray on us. The church went wild today, no sermon….but a Holy Ghost party……Our pastor knew it was something breaking from heaven….a healing, miracles……I took my mom and your prayer cloth sent and we worshiped and danced around our church.

We then visited he hospital and I wrote psalm 91 on the cloth, it was what my mom and I agreed upon. The family said we could come and is Roman Catholic and my mom was concerned of me praying. I said we had to be in agreement. I told my mom to calm down and confidently went in led by the Holy Spirit into a huge family of the young man’s waiting room. They welcomed us. I hugged the mom and prayed and read Psalms 91 and asked her to place the cloth under her son. He was still in coma and incubator.

Tonight when I got home my mom called me and said when the young man’s mom placed the cloth under his pillow, he coughed and his trachea tube came out and he is breathing on his own. He also touched her leg today. We a so joyous for this is a miracle. We still have prayer ahead of us, but I see deliverance and am so grateful for your prayer cloth and prophecy that I am going to order another one……so look for me….Michele Giampietro….

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jesus is amazing and a true miracle man! Praise God!

God bless you!
All my love and blessings.
Michele

PROPHETS are DIME a DOZEN

Therefore, His word must be prayed, preached and prophesied on earth as it is being proclaimed in heaven. If we are truly speaking and prophesying His Word on earth as in heaven, the devil does not stand a chance. And this is why the enemy knows he must do everything he can to shut the mouths of those who are prophesying on earth, for the things that are being revealed in heaven and then prophesied on earth will crush the enemy. This is why you who are His vessels being used to prophesy His Word are under such a horrendous attack. Satan is sending his vessels to torment and to steal, kill and try to destroy you so you can no longer be an instrument of God on earth. Yes, we are dime a dozen in the sense that there are millions of us and millions more coming right behind us. AMEN!

By the way, just in case you might have forgotten the word amen is defined as “so be it.” What better way to describe true prayer? When you are praying what is being spoken in heaven you are truly declaring His will on earth as in heaven.

Therefore, I pray the fire of the Lord be shut up into your bones with the power to deflect all the works of the enemy that you may prosper in wealth, health and a soundness of mind.
3 John 2

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that you may have it more abundantly”
John 10:10

Prophets and Prophetesses

Prophets and prophetesses, which is correct or what is the difference? The only difference is a prophetess is a female prophet and a prophet is a male prophet. I have noticed a lot of woman have indicated that the differentiation puts too much focus on gender. There is truth in this because you do not see any difference in the titles for any of the other accession gift ministries. An apostle is the same for male or female, as is the evangelist, pastor or teacher so why is the office of a prophet different. Why is there a need to flag the difference in gender just for the office of a prophet?

The only reason we use the prophetess title is because it’s consistent in the Holy Scriptures and it is the only title that carries over from the Old Testament to the New Testament. The only reason that I can think that a woman would be upset if they were referred to as a prophetess is if they think they are somehow beneath a prophet. If this is the case then there really should not be any argument because both the prophetess and the prophet are given the same in function, authority and responsibility. Instead of focusing on the titles given, we should be directing our attention to the purpose of those given these titles of prophet or prophetess.

Why Have Titles, Do We Really Need Them?

I know a lot of people are really hung up on titles, and it appears that there are two opposing camps. The first camp does not like titles and would rather folks just not use them at all. From this camp come a variety of reasons why they do not like to hear people give a title or introduce themselves with a title. Some get upset because it sounds like they are showing off or hiding behind their title as if to put others on notice that they are someone of importance. Others do not like it because it puts them in a box and limits their ability to flow in and out of other groups. The reasons are endless and I probably do not even know half of them, but the bottom line is titles are in the Holy Scriptures and if God thinks they are necessary then that is good enough for me.

On the other hand, we know there are a lot of people who call themselves whatever makes them sound important and acceptable. Little do they know it can really make them sound cheap if they cannot fulfill the calling of that title.

The other camp is composed of those who are the titling gurus, interested in organizing and categorizing everyone. For these people if you do not have a title they make one for you like “nobody”. We know that can sound a bit snobbish; however, we must understand that people who are called to be administrators and even leaders in their minds are constantly categorizing. They truly do not mean any harm and they are part of a necessary group that keeps order. They are the glue that holds the data together so the history makers can make solid decisions on issues that help the kingdom of God function. They are more analytical and look at giftings, abilities, talents and a sundry of other attributes that help them title the people within the organization. The free-spirited folks usually have a problem with these types of personalities. Those who are light at heart are very protective and wish to be among the people, for they are all about the people not the titles, numbers, offerings or anything that could isolate a person or make them feel inferior. We need to see the value of both types and we must respect one another’s gifts and callings.

God is building an army, preparing for a huge manifestation of the supernatural powers in action. It will take all of us working in unity to win this spiritual war. We are the light and salt of the earth and we will soon see that things like arguing over titles will shortly become a non-issue for discussion. When this time approaches, most Christians will be totally caught off guard and clueless as to what is going on and will know not what to do. The Holy Spirit is recruiting masses of selected people and training them in the spiritual weapons of warfare. We are battling against the dark powers, but we are of the light and getting brighter, training every day for spiritual warfare. We are fighting not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of darkness in high places. We can defeat our enemy if we will join together as one body under one Head, Jesus Christ, and if we are led by one Spirit, the Holy Spirit. For anything with more than one head is unacceptable and is not of the Spirit our Father.

Discerning False Spirits

In May of 1995 I had the privilege of going to Hawaii and ministering for three weeks. During my stay, I was asked to be interviewed on two television programs. The last twenty minutes of the first program the station opened up the phone lines for viewers to call in for personal prophecy. Within a twenty minute span, the station had received 78 phone calls; the station manager was shocked over this great response.

The next day the manager had me back and wanted to give more time for people to call. With eleven telephones manned in the station, we answered 256 phone calls in forty-two minutes. It was obvious the people in Hawaii were hungry for spiritual direction.

Being new to Hawaii, I did not know that the islands were also a Mecca for the psychics especially on the island of Maui. It wasn’t long before I was confronted by three psychics after an evening church service. The male psychic started the conversation by saying I had caused quite a stir; then he asked if I would say no more against the psychics. I told him that I could not be silent about what they were doing to the people. He responded that he was a Jew. He said he knew that the Bible says to know men by their fruit and he believed what they were doing was for the good of the people.

I told this man that being a Jew he should also know about the curses laid upon those who seek mediums and psychics and that the fruit he bore was not from the same tree from which I came. He responded that he had a refrigerator he used every day, although he didn’t know how it works. I said, “You may not know how it works, but if you were a repair man you would know everything about it. If you are going to practice in the spirit realm, you better know what spirit you are dealing with.” He and the other two psychics turned and left the church and I never heard from them again.

Just because you may know of things to come, does not necessarily mean that you have heard from God. If what you heard truly is from God and you do not give Him the credit, you will be no better than a psychic. The scriptures tell us to test the spirits and know that they are of God.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world”
I John 4:1

In the early church Apostle Paul and Prophet Silas had an encounter with a Psychic. The way they handled the problem should be our example for today.

It was a day like any other in which Apostle Paul and Prophet Silas were going to pray. On their way, they were met by a fortune teller who was possessed by the spirit of divination. She followed Paul and Silas crying out, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” Now that was not a bad thing to say about Paul and Silas, but they knew by what spirit she was speaking.

This went on for many days, finally Paul, who was greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” The spirit was cast out of her and she could no longer profit her masters by fortune telling. The spirit of the psychic had been removed.
Acts 16:16

Paul and Silas were not the only ministers of God in the early church who had encounters with Psychics. We find that Apostles Peter and Barnabas were summoned by Bar-Jesus, a sorcerer and a Jew, to give a word from God to the Proconsul. As Paul and Barnabas traveled to the Proconsul, they were met by a man named Elymas, who was also a Psychic who practiced sorcery. Elymas tried to stop Paul and Barnabas from witnessing and converting the Proconsul over to Christianity.

“Then Paul rose up full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently at Elymas and said, ‘O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.’ And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. Then the Proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord”.
Acts 13:6-12

There is also an encounter which Peter had that is not recorded in the Bible. However, we do know there is a historical account of this event:

In HIS Image, by Kent Simpson from Kent Simpson on Vimeo.

Peter was in Rome to refute the apparent miracles of a false messiah, Simon Magus. As a massive crowd awaited the outcome, Simon, who had won the initial skirmishes, was now pushed to the brink and boasted he would prove his divinity by flying “up unto God.” Leaping from a wooden tower, the Magus [magician], aided either by magic, spells or by demons, sailed across the sky, seemingly victorious. The crowd looked to Peter for his reaction.

The Apostle implored the Lord Jesus to have Simon “fall from the height and be disabled; and let him not die but…break his leg in three places.” The impostor plummeted to the ground. He was carried off, his leg broken in three places, at last humiliated. This tale, from the apocryphal Acts of Peter, is one of many Simon Magus stories (Ref- “After Jesus”, Readers Digest).

We still have the power today to call upon the name of Jesus when His glory is being tested by the false prophets, psychics of today. “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever”
Hebrews 13:8

Dear Kent,

Thanks for this message today. This is something that I have pondered about for many years. Unfortunately the church is much as you say but I have been praying for a restoration of these things in the church since God has not changed anything since He revealed it to Paul for the early church. Thanks again for reminding us that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, I got your audio word recently and it really spoke to my heart. A young woman prophesied the same thing that you spoke to me as I was entering to go to a meeting one night at church. It really made me take a step back and perk up my ears about the things you said to me. Just a little feedback and thanks for your ministry.

Yours in Christ,
Denny F.


Dear Sir,

Thank you for delivering the prophetic message from God

I just want to confirm – and may be encourage you – on/about its content; it is very precise and indeed very recognizable for me; describing my past and present.

My background is having been a somewhat controversial/unconventional pastor and evangelist in the Pentecostal movement, emphasizing to reach out to the “common man”, the unsaved ones- through radio, TV, newspapers, and my sermons have been attended by many, and the congregations has increased/grown. Though: There have been a lot of people working against me/my “methods”, and I have not been strong enough to stand for long at a time. May be “the traditionalists”/the “religious spirits” have been motivated, in fact, by enviousness; a kind of jealousy. These kind of “get rid of- reflexes/responses/reactions” has also been an active factor in other areas in my life, as I have been in an active position in the struggle against poverty and drug abuse, mostly as a writer in the national newspapers and as a lobbyist towards the parliament and government, having found open doors and received break-troughs. But has been stopped by people I worked with. They think I “take to big space;” am to dominant and charismatic.This has also been the case in my political struggle, where I indeed has altered some systems and politics – both on local level, and to some extent on national level.

But God has opened doors for the ones that I sensed that I was to lift up, to parliament, to TV programs and newspaper journalists. Doors that were considered to be impossible, was opened, and break- thoughts took place. Especially regarding an African family that I lifted up to all the nations (4 cd’s concert tours, TV, etc.)

You know The Lord well, and He speaks/reveals to you.

Regards and blessings
Hugo in Norway


Good Morning Prophet Simpson,

I just want you to know that I received my prophecy along with my children’s. I have been receiving prophesies, however, this is with a difference. I cannot explain it, but that is how I feel. I listen to it every day. Is it possible to order for another personal to prophesy if I so desire? I want to know before I order for another one again for myself. I have been telling everyone I know about your ministry, including my colleges. Gee God working through you like this is incredible and amazing. There is no ministry like this on earth that I know of. OMG that is true Prophet. Think about it. Do you realize that? I hope that when I become a millionaire/billionaire, I will find you and support you. Yes indeed I will. I am in the process. It is only Jesus that will make it happen for me. This is a true promise sealed with the power of the cross. Thank you so much.

“Hey Weirdo, What Makes You a Prophet?”

I do not know anyone who ever really wanted to be called a prophet or planned on walking in the office of a prophet. When God calls you to be one of His prophets you immediately think that He has the wrong number. Especially if you have no idea what a prophet of today is supposed to look like. Most people seem to think of the word “false” when you say prophet, for false prophets are well known in today’s society. Some men have made the two words interconnected by their actions, men like David Koresh 1959-1993 or Jim Jones 1931-1978. Who in their right mind would want to be immediately grouped with these boys? To be called a prophet is to place yourself in one of the lowest categories of mankind, so why would you want to be known as a prophet?

Do not think honor is going to be given to you for calling yourself a prophet. Many have tried to seek honor from others prior to you and have left a shadow of doubt and disbelief behind them. If you are truly called by God to walk through life with this socially disgraceful brand you will experience very little honor. However, if you are faithful to the call and keep pointing to the only Prophet who is truly worthy of the title your reward in heaven will be spectacular forever.

Jesus said:
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house”
Mark 6:4

It was March 14, 1979 I remember like it was yesterday; I was standing in my bedroom, looking out the window across the yard and into the trees across the road thinking about the sermon titled “What Does God Want You to Do for Him?” I had heard just hours before. With my hands out in front of me, my eyes closed, I lifted up my hands to God and said, “What do you want me to do for You, oh Lord?” I had been experiencing a lot of conviction about being a banker and the practice of usury by charging interest on borrowed money that violates scripture. Even though my pastor told me that it’s okay now because that was Old Testament law and it did not apply for today, I still felt my heart was not lined up right with God because of my job.

“If he has exacted usury Or taken increase-

Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him”
Ezekiel 18:13

At the time my oldest daughter was only a year old, we lived in the country in a modest home I had built for my little family. I was in my seventh year of banking, and on the weekends and holidays I worked on a ranch for my father-in-law who was also my best friend. My life was great in a lot of ways, but something was missing. I was really involved in our little country church and wanted more of God but didn’t know how to get closer to Him. It is for this reason that I was crying out to Him asking what He wanted me to do for Him. While I was in the middle of asking Him, He spoke: “Read Ezekiel 33”. I opened my Bible to the scripture and began to read. The more I read the heavier the burden felt upon me. When I read verse 33 it was as if my hair stood straight up all over my body. Bewildered, I re-read the verse about 3 or 4 times for I was totally perplexed, not understanding what in the world was this all about and what was I to do?

“Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. And when this comes to pass-surely it will come-then they will know that a prophet has been among them” (Ezekiel 33:32-33).

Why Would you Want to be Called a Prophet?

All I could see in my mind’s eye was me with a long beard, honey dripping down it, wearing some kind of camel skin garment and locust legs hanging out of my mouth. Snapping out of these thoughts, I began to focus on a more modern version of what I might look like and that picture did not give me any comfort either. I saw myself standing over an old wooden pulpit wearing an old moth-eaten sport coat speaking dry words. None of the above appealed to me and I stayed on my course as a banker. I asked myself why would you want to be called a prophet anyway?

God is so gracious; even when we turn our backs on Him and go our own way He still continues to bless us along our rebellious path. The fact is He graced me with an anointing for making money for the bank and by the time I was 32 years old I was offered the position as the bank’s president and CEO of the bank’s holding company, which owned a total of four banks and an insurance company. It was practically unheard of for someone my age with no family connections to be placed in such an honorable position in the community. At least once a month my name and picture were in the newspaper, and couple of times I was in the local television news announcing the success of another new business development or community project. Life was good. I was blessed with an expensive executive car furnished by the bank, a new home on acreage with a swimming pool, in partnership with lawyers and mega-millionaires, part owner in a twin engine Beechcraft airplane, hunting and ski lodge, and the list goes on.

Then one Sunday the preacher made a plea with the congregation. The church was in a financial bind and he was asking for help. As I was driving home from church God asked me, “Will you give My church $75,000?” Within myself I said, “Lord you know I don’t have it but if you will show me the way I will sell whatever I have or do whatever you ask and I will give the amount you’ve asked.”

I had been working to put a shopping center on some land that was across the road from the bank but the elderly lady who owned the property had already turned me down, saying the property had been in the family for many years and she wasn’t going to sell it. Well, God put it on my heart to go to her home and ask her again. I really did not want to, for she was very emphatic about not selling the property. However, I had to obey. As soon as I knocked on her door she invited me in and said she was waiting on me to come back. Then the lady proceeded to tell me that she didn’t know why but she wanted me to have the property, that I did not have to pay her the $100,000 up front but offered that I pay $6,000 and make an agreement that once I had the shopping center approved I would pay her the balance.

Three weeks after the contract was signed the State Highway Department made an announcement that they were going to expand the lanes that fronted the property on both sides making it the major intersection in the city. Well, if you know anything about traffic counts and land appraisals the value of the property I had just put under contract went from $100,000 to $300,000 in just three weeks. Needless to say God had blessed me with more than enough to give His church $75,000.

About this time in my life I had a lot of things going my way; however, I was young and thinking more of myself than I should have. As time went by I got busy with all kinds of investments as the economy was taking a turn for the worse and everything was coming apart at the seams. My health also began to suffer. In August of 1986 I had to have back surgery. Just four months later I was back in the hospital with double pneumonia and the doctors thought I might have cancer in my kidneys. As they prepared to get x-rays of my kidneys, they injected a dye into my bloodstream that caused me to have such a severe allergic reaction that I almost died. As I lay awake the doctors and nurses worked feverishly, doing their best to keep me alive. While all this is happening God told me, “You are not going to die,” so I was at peace even though the outcome looked dismal.

How Dare you Call Yourself a Prophet!

At this point you might be asking what happened. Everything was going so great and then everything started falling apart; why was God allowing all this to happen? You remember the $75,000 God asked me to give to His church, well I got so busy with all the things of the world I had forgotten my commitment to Him. It must have all started going downhill as soon as my promise to Him slipped from my mind. I knew the anointing for creating wealth had been stripped from me and that He was sending me back into my first calling found in Ezekiel 33. This is what He said to me:

“If you do not change your ways and give glory to My name, then I will send terrible punishment upon you, and instead of giving you blessings as I would like to I will turn on you with curses. Indeed I have already because you haven’t taken seriously the things that are most important to me.” (ref. Malachi 2:1,2)

This was in March 1987, eight years to the month when He had previously called me to be one of His prophets. I know your theology may not agree with what He said to me, but one thing I have learned is my experiences with Him will always speak louder than man’s theology. Like I have said many times before, I have learned more about God hearing His word for myself and others than all the preaching and teaching I could receive in a lifetime.

A Light to My Path, His Word is a Lamp unto Your Feet from Kent Simpson on Vimeo.

After I got out of the hospital I resigned from the bank, purchased a motor home with the idea that I could outrun the calling. You see I still did not want to be a prophet and I thought I could just get away and maybe everything would change. I was living the life of Job, and I was about experience being swallowed up into the belly of a whale of trouble. Everywhere I went, every friend I called on had turned from me as if to throw me out of the boat. It was just a matter of time and I would be counting the ribs inside that big fish.

Being called of God and not surrendering to His call is not a very smart thing, and I know you would not have taken the path I chose. If I knew then what I know now I too would not have been so foolish. …..to be continued

Dear Prophet Kent,

God bless you very much for your prophetic and comforting words that the Lord gives to you to help others. Based on my situation and the many discouragements, and obstacles that I face daily I thank God for you, that trough your prophecies I am very much comforted and feels very encouraged to go on and do God’s work.

There were times when I felt like giving up but the words the Lord gave you for me goes way beyond that. The Holy Spirit is working through you to save a generation that you do not know, even helping a minister so that others can be saved through that minister, you are working for Christ and we are working together for Christ Thank you very much.
Lorna C.


Brother Kent Simpson,

Thank you so much for the article on prophetic words I just read on Elijah’s List.

It really helped me to understand what to do with prophetic words I have just recently received unexpectedly. I have been mulling them over in my mind and wondering how they would come to pass. Your writing gave me hope and reminded me to wait patiently for the Lord.

God Bless you.

Dear Kent,

This was a great word of” Interview” for explaining the Prophetic with Clarity. I also would like to ask a few questions on the article “Becoming an Internet Minister” from July 26/13. I’ve been a disciple of the Holy Spirit for 30 years coming Sept/11/13. I would actually like to come too Texas sometime to receive Ministry & your evaluation of what the Lord would say too me through you.

I have very much enjoyed your Ministry ever since I saw you on Elijah list last November. I am 60 years YOUNG prophet and believe that the Lord would help me in the direction clarity for the months ahead.

Love in Christ
Dennis D.

Prophets and the Gift of Prophecy

Not everyone who prophesies is automatically walking in the office of a prophet because he or she operates in the gift of prophecy.

Confusion in the Prophetic Camp

There seems to be confusion regarding a few areas of the prophetic these days, and we know that God is not the author of confusion. I do not believe that there would be many Christians who would disagree with me when I say that every word written in the Holy Scriptures is true, for it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we must understand from where this confusion is coming. There is only one author of the Scriptures; the Holy Spirit is the only true teacher, and He is the only one who can give us the truth regarding His Word. The First Epistle of John reveals this truth:

“But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him”
1 John 2:27

The problem is not the Holy Scriptures or God. The individual interpretation of the Holy Scriptures is where the problem seems to always begin. Using the words written in the Holy Bible to manipulate the people of God is wrong and carries a strict judgment, as stated in James:

“My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment”
James 3:1

Now that we have laid a foundation for whom the author and teacher of the Holy Bible is and have pointed out the cost of misappropriating God’s word, let us go forward into this teaching on God’s prophets and the gift of prophecy.

Prophets and Prophecy for Today

First of all, I do not think you would be reading this article unless you believed that God is still appointing prophets to His Church. By reading First Corinthians 12:28 you will find the verse clearly establishes this fact, and I do not believe you can find an equal verse that says God has removed His prophets from His Church. Therefore, let us take a look at the difference between the Prophets of the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Most people say there is a difference; I on the other hand disagree. When discussing this topic with others I find a quick referral to the verse that gives us the definition of what prophesy is as we read from First Corinthians 14:3:

“But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.”
1 Corinthians 14:3

I believe we can all agree that Apostle Paul prophesied in Acts 13 when, “Filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him (Elymas) and said, ‘O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11 And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.'”

This word Apostle Paul prophesied was not edifying, exhorting or comforting. He spoke of blindness being put upon another, so what gives? In First Corinthians 14, Apostle Paul is giving instruction about the gift of prophecy to those who are NOT walking in one of the ascension gift ministries found in Ephesians 4:11:

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ”.
Ephesians 4:11

We see in the book of Revelation that there will come a time when prophets will prophesy plagues upon nations, probably in our lifetime. During the war between the two realms, this world and the spiritual, we find miracles exploding in the open streets. Now this sounds more like Old Testament prophets, but in fact it is New Testament writings.

“And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth…..if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire”
Revelation 11:3-6

My point is this; prophets of the New Testament are the same as the Old. Our problem is that we have restrained the miracles of the New Testament prophets from coming forth. When we study more about the prophets of the Old we find they raised the dead, outran horses, called fire down from heaven, found lost animals, multiplied food sources, had bionic ears to spy on the enemy, and even after death their bones could raise the dead. However, when a prophet of God makes a prophetic proclamation that God has released it is possible for entire nations to rise or fall based upon His spoken word.

We serve a God who is not double-minded and does not have to comply with our demands. To think that if He sent someone to give me a word of prophecy and if I did not like the word I could just not believe it and it would go away makes prophecy a bit useless. I cannot count the number of times someone has told me their word did not bear witness with their spirit, therefore, they just tossed it aside and forgot about it only to call me a couple of years later to let me know they were doing exactly what the word they received proclaimed and to ask if they could get a copy of the original word. I believe if a word from God is given a copy of it should be made and kept safe to allow time to test the word. Over the years I have held on to hundreds of copies of prophesies I have sent out. Any word of prophecy is worth recording and keeping, even if you do not understand it.

Is it Prophecy or a Word of Wisdom?

One thing I have noticed that we have done with the gift of prophecy is we group a short list of other spiritual gifts from First Corinthians 12 (word of knowledge, word of wisdom, prophecy and gift of faith) into the prophetic word and call it all ‘prophecy’ then try to explain it as one function. This too has brought confusion into the body of Christ. For example, to say that a word of prophecy is conditional upon us believing the word or praying over the word we received just doesn’t add up. Do we really think that God needs our help in making His Word come to pass or is it just another way to protect the person giving the prophecy? The only time I have heard a word having conditions within the structure and meaning I found it not to be prophecy at all, but rather a word of wisdom, which does have a choice or conditions within its contents. Usually, the word will go something like this: “if you put your house up for sale it will sell; however, you will not be able to finance another and your rent will be more than what you are paying now.”

The recipient now has a decision to make but the outcome should give them the answer to the question they were seeking which was; “Should I sell my house because I do not think I can keep making the payments?” I have tried my best to never to tell someone what to do when I give a prophetic word. For a true prophet will not tell you what to do, he will only tell you what to expect.

I see a lot of the same ministry safeguards being adopted into the prophetic movement as what the faith movement implemented in the later years of its heyday. What I mean is that if enough conditions are required before a personal prophecy can come to pass then when the word doesn’t come to pass we can just say they did not pray right or they did not believe hard enough or they sinned and lost the promise within the prophecy. Well, I must ask these questions: Is God all-knowing? Don’t you think that He knows well in advance what you are going to do before He uses someone to speak a prophetic word into your life? What kind of father would tell you of the great and wonderful things he is going to do for you only to later take it all back?

Ministering in Spiritual Gifts

Now let me back up here and give a defense for those who are on the frontlines giving prophetic words. I have said this a thousand times for it is true; it is not enough to hear the voice of God. You must know what He means. If we struggle with interpreting the written word of God how much more difficult is His spoken word? It is much more challenging to know the ways and thoughts of God when He is speaking to you Spirit to spirit than having the words to read. People ministering in the gifts are expected to interpret it with accuracy, delivering a clear word exactly as the Holy Spirit is revealing it to you. This is not an easy task. The problem isn’t that the person giving the word did not hear God but rather they lacked the ability to understand and properly interpret what He meant. This takes years of experience learning from your mistakes. Too many are quick to judge the person rather than the word; we could use a lot more grace in this area. Time is the true test for every prophecy; to assume you know if the word is correct before then is to despise the prophecy.

“Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good”
1 Thessalonians 5:19-21

One of the major reasons people who are ministering in the gift of prophecy feel they have failed when giving someone a prophetic word is because they are afraid they will mess up someone’s life. You cannot help but respect a person who is that concerned. However, allow me to speak to you if you are one of these types of prophetic people. You must trust the Holy Spirit with everything within you that He will not misguide you. You cannot mess up if you put your mind in neutral and speak or write only what He puts into your thoughts and spirit. It all starts with just one word; once you speak or write that one word everything else will flow.

War over the Prophetic Word

Another quick word of advice, when you give a prophetic word you must fight for that person’s prophetic word, for the devil will try to get you to come under doubt and agree with him that the word you gave was not from God. Yes, I said that correctly! It is the person who delivers the word that must have the faith in order for that word to come to pass. Most people tell the person receiving the word they must have the faith to believe, not so. Let us look at the instructions found in Romans 12:6 for those who minister in prophecy: “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.” So how does faith come?

“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”
Romans 10:17

Here we learn that the prophetic minister is the one held accountable to believe for a word from God to come to pass not the person receiving the prophetic word.

I Am a Witness to William Branhams Ministry from Kent Simpson on Vimeo.

When Will My Word Come to Pass

In closing, the best way to see your word come to pass as fast as possible is to take your word and put it on the shelf and wait for a month or more and then go back and re-read it. If you received your prophetic word on a voice-recording device try transcribing it into text format and you will see a difference in the meaning, for it will speak to you in a different way. Your word is going to come to pass when God has planned for it, so just stay out of His way. I have discovered that about 80% of the prophetic words I have given over the past 24 years come to pass in about 2 years. This too might interest you; most of those people forgot what was on their prophecy until after what was spoken had come to pass. When they went back and listened to their prophetic word they were shocked. You can work all you want, trying to figure out how God is going to make your word come to pass. However, in the end you will see that He will fulfill His word in a way you never thought possible. For He is a God of the impossible!

I had to come here and post this!!!!

Imagine my amazement and excitement when I found a prophetic word on CD from 2003 and played it as I was driving down the road just today. And just last night received a word and exactly the same scripture was on it and telling me about the angels that would be ministering for me. My faith in God is built up like never before as I have been going through the most terrible point in my life where I feel as if I have been punched in the stomach and had the breath knocked out of me literally with so much loss.

MAMA IS GROWING!

Two years ago my wife Debbie was healed of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia in just THREE days after being prayed for at River of Life Church in Rusk, Texas that was two years ago. She was so bad off before her healing that she could not pick up a frying pan or unscrew the top of a water bottle.

Now, she is totally healed and stronger than she has been in years with no pain. My Debbie was truly blessed but not satisfied she wanted to also be healed of the double scoliosis that plagued her since she was a child. Most people would have been satisfied but she wasn’t, she wanted all of what Jesus had for her. Three weeks ago she had a dream that she was healed of her double scoliosis and it was Andy Frasure who had prayed for her and it was going to happen in two weeks on a Sunday.

This past Sunday the 28th of July we were at Pastor Scott Schiele’s place of worship, Emmanuel Church in Vinita, Oklahoma where one of our own ministers, Andy Frasure of PMT/FPP was ministering with Elizabeth Reisinger and her ministry team from Bethel Church, Redding, California. We went up to record a video of Andy’s sermon with our youngest daughter Savannah and our two grandchildren Keaton and Julia.

During the evening service Elizabeth Reisinger asked everyone who had not ever seen a miracle to come to the Alter and stand. Then she asked everyone in the congregation to come forward who had pain in their body. Debbie and I went to the front along with a number of other people. Elizabeth asked everyone with pain to lay on the floor and the people who came to see a miracle to stand over everyone on the floor and stretch out their arms casting a shadow over the hurting people. Just like Apostle Peter when he walked along the road people would lay the sick along the road. As Peter’s shadow would pass over them they would be healed.

Well, Debbie and I were not laying down for the floor for it was covered so we sat on the lowest step on the stage. As the people prayed I began to slowly run my hand up and down Debbie’s spine then suddenly something strange started happening. It felt like Jesus put His hand inside of mine and I could feel my fingers pushing the curves out of her spine. Then I ran my hand back down her spine and found the second curve my fingers started moving the spine until it was strait.

After I testified for Debbie, she does like speaking to large crowds, about the dream and what had just happened. I asked Debbie if she could feel me moving her spine. With tears in her eyes she shook her head yes.

Today we made our second visit to our Doctor who has confirmed this is a miracle. We have been keeping an account of her growth each time we come back from the Doctor’s office. In three days she has gone from 5’2″ to 5’3.25″. Will keep you up to date to how tall the healing takes her.

Frequency Asked Questions

Why Do I Need Ordination Papers and Ministerial Licenses?

Q: Don’t I need to go to school and earn a degree in theology to become ordained?

A: No. There is a difference between a degree in theology and becoming ordained as a minister. A theology degree is an academic certification, generally requiring anywhere from 2 to 10 years of university study to obtain. Academically, a degree in theology is considered the same as a degree in philosophy and is generally required if you wanted to teach religion at a university level.

Ordination simply requires a demonstration of your commitment to the Church and is provided as an acknowledgment of the Church’s recognition of your commitment. All 50 states accept ordination to perform religious ceremonies, including weddings.

Q: Will I be authorized to perform weddings in my state?
A: Yes. Your Minister Ordination Certificate fulfills the spiritual requirement to officiate weddings in all 50 US states.

Q: I have lived a life of sin. Am I still eligible to become a minister?

A: Yes. We are all sinners and God knows that. However, before becoming a minister, you must pray for forgiveness for all your past sins.

Q: Can I start my own congregation once I become an official ordained Minister under Prophetic Ministries Tabernacle?
A: Yes, This is the reasons we have been led by the Holy Spirit to establish this program so that anyone who is called can receive the help needed gathering up a congregation.

Q: Will I be able to collect offerings from my congregation?
A: Whether you have a one page Internet ministry or a huge congregation, you will have our covering to receive offerings from your followers to help fund your ministry.

Q: In what religion will my ordination be registered?
A: Your PMT ordination and ministry license certifies your ministry as a tax-exempted ministry under our banner. No matter what State within the United States you establish your ministry you are covered under our non-profit corporation and protected by our nation’s constitution and bill of rights.

Q: Does my registration have an expiration date? Will it need to be renewed?
A: No. As long as you keep your Prophetic Family Partnership monthly pledge current your licenses is considered an active organization under our articles of incorporation and by-laws.

What Will Ordination Papers Do for Me?

Ordination gives you the authority to officiate weddings in all 50 states.

Marriage laws are governed at the state level. By taking the important step to be ordained, you are making a statement of faith. You are taking an oath to believe in God as the one true God, you are accepting Jesus Christ as your true and Holy Savior. It is important that you are pure of heart with a desire to show the love of Jesus to His people. In many ways, ordination is a cleansing process where each minister is asked to renew his faith in God and recognize his own sins. It is understood that we will grant you the authority to minister on our designated websites and later our Prophetic Network, a satellite and cable television program as long as you meet these conditions.

Benefits for Being Ordained and Licensed:

Becoming an Ordained Minister is an important step for anyone looking for advancement in his or her career and a way to experience higher level of spiritual growth. Similar to a degree or certification in vocational studies, your Ordained Certificate and Ministry License proves that you have taken the next step in your commitment to follow Jesus and His calling upon your life.

Although the benefits of being an Ordained Minister are different for all people, the capabilities and potential are the same. Being an Ordained Minister will open new doors for you, spiritually, financially, and socially.

Depending on how ambitious you are, there is a wide range of utilities associated with being a registered ordained minister. Ordained ministers are encouraged to organize fellowships, run Bible studies, prayer sessions and pray for friends and family. More ambitious ministers may choose to start their own congregation, and perhaps produce their own videos or reading material, guiding others in their walk of faith.

Being registered as an ordained minister also allows you to conduct various ceremonies such as weddings, funerals, and baptisms. To perform these ceremonies, most ministers ask for what is known as an honorarium — a reasonable fee to cover travel expenses, preparation, and time. Ordained ministers command respect from their peers, but also carry the responsibility of upholding a new degree of integrity and spiritual awareness. These responsibilities, if properly managed, will lead to a stronger connection with God.

Take Your First Step to Enroll and Study the Gift of Prophecy

With so many changes taking place in the world today we all need to know what is really happening. All the answers of the universe are within us. For if Christ lives within you, you have all of the knowledge. You just need to know how He is revealing it to you.

The challenge is how to get this information from your spirit to your mind. Prophetic knowledge is the key to helping you receive clear interpretation of what God is saying to you. This 12 DVD course will help you plan for your family’s future plus you will know in part what to expect in the coming months and years.

What is The Anointing?

Anointings, Spiritual Gifts and Calling

Just because the anointing was there at one time does not mean it is there forever. There are special anointings that are there for certain things or specific seasons. Anointings are different from spiritual gifts and callings; they can come and go, but the gift and calling never leave you.

The anointing can lift. The anointing can change. People can shift from an evangelistic anointing to pastoral anointing or from prophetic to apostolic anointing. It can move from one office to the next. It is like majoring in a specified degree in college with a minor in a different subject, yet both degrees work together for a specialized position or job, i.e. a tax-attorney is required to have a Law degree as well as their CPA. The same concept works in ministry. You can be called into one or more of the five-fold ascension gift ministries listed in Ephesians 4:11

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.”
Ephesians 4:11

You can be anointed to be a prophet and certain gifts and callings will remain with you. Even Paul prophesied, but he was an apostle. Not all apostles prophesy yet the gift can be there. The gifts and callings are irrevocable, but the anointing can change. We often fail to recognize this or mistake the anointing for the gift or calling. The anointing is the unction or leading of the Holy Spirit. If you hear what you think to be an anointed message it is probably because you are being called into that type of calling or spiritual gift.

People may still move in the same way they were moving yesterday, but there is no anointing in it. They realize that something is missing. They are not getting what they got before, because God has changed directions. They need to get under that anointed cloud, back under that pillar of fire and power so that they can find out what God wants to do through them. As anointings change, we must change, because that is where He, the Anointed One, is. The anointing comes from God. To be in the anointed place is to recognize that we need to be under the covering of His Spirit. If we are under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit then we will be in the perfect will of the Father.

Jesus, The Anointed One

As Christians it is our life-long challenge to find out what we are anointed to do. The anointing we receive from the Holy Spirit is different than the calling of God. You see many men and women of God are called to preach or teach, but few receive the anointing to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit that establishes your ministry.

Jesus said: “if the people do not see signs and wonders they will not believe”
John 4:48

“For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established”
Romans 1:11

When our Lord and Savior was appointed to read from the scriptures it was on this special Holy day He read what He had been called to do for all mankind. He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. Then He read the way it is recorded in the New Testament:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord”
Luke 4:16-19

Jesus knew what He was anointed to do and He fulfilled what His Father sent Him to accomplish.

When a prophetic word comes by a spoken word or through the written word or even on a billboard down the road it is anointed of God, impossible to miss. Jesus was called and anointed to put an end to the curse of the law of sin and death. This is the way it happens for most of us and when it does you’ll know without a doubt, for you will know that you know in your knower that God has an anointing for you.

Anointings Change

The anointing is the unction of the Holy Spirit directing you into God’s will for your life in that moment, hour, or season. There are times we need a new and fresh anointing to work in our lives, for the old no longer works.

Unfortunately, too many people keep holding on to the old anointing and lose the fragrance that once brought God’s presence into their lives. If this ever happens to you, you will need to find His new anointing for you. You will be forced to find your anointing in order to move under the protection, the power and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Only then will you be able to accomplish the things God wants to accomplish through you. As long as you are doing what God has called you to do, there will be peace and harmony. You will be satisfied. Nobody will be able to touch you, and your emotions will all be intact.

“…Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.”
2 Corinthians 2:14

When God starts to move us in a certain way, we want to look at it and size it up. Is it comfortable? Is this something I want to do? Is this something that lines up with my dreams? Our dreams can become nightmares when we try to forge them into our lives when God has not called us to walk in them. There are a lot of people trying to live out their dreams, but what they are doing is living out their own humanistic carnal nature, absent of His anointing. They struggle through life, trusting their own reasoning and rejecting God’s revelation all the while claiming Romans 8:28,

“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28

“The problem is they are not in His purpose; if they had the anointing from the Anointed One they would not be banging their head up against the wall, confused, broken and not understanding why God isn’t helping them. Believe me when I say His Kingdom is not like Burger King. You are not going to get it whatever way you want. You must pray (ask), Hear (His voice) and Obey (exactly His way).

Seek God’s Revelation

We need to seek God’s revelation for our lives. It does not matter if it doesn’t manifest the way we think it ought to or that the fruit doesn’t seem to be there. What is important is that we are doing God’s will, and that can only be accomplished by His anointing.

Not everything that is drawing a crowd is anointed of God. For example, most people think that if they are rich God has blessed them and anointed them to prosper, but we know this is not true. You cannot measure your spirituality by how much money you have in the bank or even how poor you are. Wealth and popularity are not the measuring stick for God’s anointing. These are things of this world; his anointing will manifest in the supernatural. This is the way you know the anointing is present.

People build lots of things that are not of God. We see this all over the place. People may like the character of an individual or their personality or looks. They may like the way they sing or speak or even the way they wear their hair. People are attracted to them because of the lust of the flesh and the pride of this life, but those born-again should not follow these worldly temptations. We cannot allow ourselves to be led by our flesh’s emotions; we must be led by the anointing that comes from the Holy Spirit.

1 John 2:16 reveals this truth:

“For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.”
1 John 2:16

Instead, we need to look at the anointing that rests upon the person. We have to ask ourselves if it is just entertainment or the anointing. It is sometimes hard to see the difference between being entertained and being taught something of value by the anointing of Christ. We need to know if it is our emotions that we are being moved by or if it is the Holy Spirit teaching us the ways and thoughts of God. The anointing teaches us all things, and it comes to us through the anointing that is given to men and women by the Holy Spirit.

“But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him”.
1 John 2:27

Anointing vs. Emotions

It is in the anointing we will find our calling and gift in life not in the emotions of the “flash in the pan” hype of the worldly. Jonathan Edwards delivered the sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God“, a classic of early American literature, during a revival in 1741. In his bland monotone voice, he read his sermon about hell, heaven and the God of wrath to a large crowd of early revivalists in America’s first Great Awakening. As he began to read, people started to weep, faint and scream. Over a short period of time thousands became believers. It was the anointing not hype that birthed this revival. All Edwards did was stand reading; the anointing drew the people into a vision of hell as they experienced themselves being drawn into the fiery pit.

I have read the sermon, but I did not experience any of these things, nor did anyone else who I have read it to. Why? Because Jonathan Edwards was anointed for that time to be used of God to become a part of this Great Awakening, and the people knew it was all God.

If you ever read his sermon, you will wonder how it had an effect on so many people, but the anointing was there at that particular time. It does not mean that this is the way we all should do it. There are so many copycats.

People try to copy someone else’s anointing, but it just doesn’t work. We need to find our own anointed message that God has put in our heart to share. There may be a likeness in the spirit of the same message others are preaching, but you still must have your own personal anointing that will touch those whom God has chosen.

In the charismatic circles, anointings are recognized in powerful healing ministries, in powerful preaching sermons and in the working of miracles, but there are also anointings in jobs. There are anointings in business. There are various anointings that help identify a person’s calling and gifting. The anointing is what equips us and empowers us to build God’s kingdom on earth. He is using this world as part of His manufacturing process; it is used as a symbol, a shadow of things to come. The most important thing is to find out what you are anointed to do, for when

“you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things”
1 John 2:20

Hello Pastor Kent,

I just wanted to thank you for being a faithful Man of God. You have been very consistent to tell me what the Lord is saying through you. And by that, also, offering me those much needed and welcome corrections for my life. I count you as a dear brother and friend.

Blessing’s,
Joseph Lancaster


Hi Pastor Kent,

I just wanted to thank you for your prophetic word it is very up lifting. I have to fight the Good Fight of Faith and prepare for whats ahead. You are a true Prophet that sees what the Spirit of Grace has shown you. When I first got the Word of the Lord I was in total shock and I am still in awe. I give all the Glory to God, thank you for being a true Son of our Great God & King, great is your reward. May the Lord impart unto you more doors to reach many Sons & Daughters of the Body of Christ for the equipping we need for the work of the ministry!!!

Jeremy M.


Pastor Kent,

I hope and pray that your health and heart are improving, and that all is well with you, your family and ministry. I just read the e-newsletter you sent out and was blessed by it. I was struck by what you said about things needing to go to our spirit first, then our head, and by what a shortcut it is to receive revelation from God instead of trying to figure out everything ourselves.

Thanks for the emails and the discs you send out–they are a blessing.

What is a Prophetic Word?

Throughout the years I have tried to give instruction to the congregation before ministering to them in the prophetic gifts in order to help those who have received a prophetic word or who are planning on requesting a word. There are certain things one who ask for a prophetic word needs to know. First of all I have never met anyone whom God did not have a word for. He desires to speak to all of us in the same love as He demonstrated at the cross of Calvary, so when we ask for a word we should expect to receive one and know that He is not going to condemn us or speak about the things we would not want anyone to know about. In fact our Lord is such a gentleman if He has something that He wants to talk to you about that deals with something you would not want anyone one to know He will speak in such a way that no one will understand what He is saying except you.

Another point I would like to make is when you receive a prophetic word, please do not try to make that word come to pass. First of all you probably don’t really even know what or how He plans on fulfilling His word for you. In fact, when you try and make your word come to pass you will only delay the process of receiving the promise within His word that is intended to bless you. After you have received your word listen or read it a few times then put it away and wait a couple of months and then listen or read it again. Just remember God is quite capable of fulfilling His word, so leave it alone and wait upon Him to do that which He has planned.

Also, when you receive a prophetic word be sure you do not go around sharing your word with everyone. Oddly, sometimes what God says to you can make some people very angry for reasons that are not always known. Remember Joseph when he received his prophetic dream he shared it with his family and it angered his brothers and they took him out and dumped him? I have witnessed this happening many times to various people who have been excited about their word and shared it with those who became angry with them and even brought harm upon them. Please be wise and prayerful about with whom you share your prophetic word.

Too many people make the mistake of making more out of their prophecy than it is intended. In the book of Revelation there is a warning given for adding or subtracting from the word of prophecy. If you look at the life of Apostle Paul when he received his prophetic word from Ananias, which was, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake” (Acts 9:15-6). First of all, most of us would erase the last part of this word that “he must suffer for My name’s sake.” However, the part about going to Kings in the name of the Lord, well that sounds very promising. Think of the financial blessing that could be received by going to the Kings of the various nations in the name of Jesus. However, Paul’s word did not come to pass in the manner that most would think. He did share the gospel message with a king, King Agrippa, but Paul was in chains as a prisoner for years waiting for his chance to preach before a king (Acts 26:27-8). The point is you never know how you will find the prophetic word coming to pass; therefore, do not assume you know just because you heard, for it is not enough to hear His word you must know what it means.

There is a purpose for why God gives you a prophetic word and there will be a process that the word will take you through before you receive the promise of His word. Most everyone wants to go straight from the purpose to the promise and bypass the process. Without the process you will not be ready to handle His promise.

When you receive a prophetic word you will find up to three different gifts working in your word; prophecy, which is foretelling, word of knowledge, revealing things of your past or present and the word of wisdom, which basically gives conditions and situations that will transpire if you choose to go one way or the other. Most people are confused regarding their prophetic word because they think that the part spoken about what is taking place or that it has already transpired is from God, but the parts that have not happened in their life are not of God. Most of the time the word of wisdom seems to be just confusing rhetoric that makes no sense; however, it all has meaning and purpose. The word of knowledge helps you believe the prophecy within the word, because things are being revealed that you know there is no way the minister could know outside of God revealing them. When the prophecy is revealed it should be received knowing that if the present is being revealed then the part that is prophecy, or foretelling of what is to come will be much easier to believe. However, the prophetic word is not always received this way, even though this method should make it much easier to believe and not be incorrectly judged.

One final note, when a prophetic word is being given do not assume that what is said in the first part of the word is what will happen first, for it is not intended to be delivered in any specific order; “For we know in part and we prophesy in part” (1 Corinthians 13:9).

What is Prophecy?

This interview between Pastor Ras Robinson and Prophet Kent Simpson took place in August of 1994. Its purpose is to familiarize pastors and laypersons with those who operate in the prophetic gifts. It is our desire to see the church allow freedom for the prophetically gifted to come into the congregations to minister to the saints.

The body of Christ has been instructed in the scriptures not to despise prophesy and out of all the gifts we are to pursue prophecy (1 Thessalonians 5:20).

“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:1).

There are many questions about whether prophecy is really of God. How can we know it is of God? What do we do when we get a word from a prophetic minister? I hope you will find the answers to these and other questions in the following interview:

PASTOR RAS: It is a real pleasure to have with me today a prophet, Brother Kent Simpson. I have known him long enough to say that it is good to have this time with you, Brother Kent, and that I trust you, love you and believe in what you do. I wanted to do this interview so that others could hear us discuss together this incredible gift of Prophecy. Joel said in the latter days it would be poured out upon men, women, and children. In times past, it seemed as if we had a real outpouring of prophecy. It appears, however, that in these days we have had an even greater outpouring spread throughout the body of Christ. I thought I would start by asking some basic questions about prophecy. Let me begin. What is the definition of prophecy, and what are we speaking of when we talk about prophecy?

PROPHET KENT: I am glad you asked these questions! There is not much opportunity for us (those who walk in the Prophetic) to have someone of your depth and understanding take the time and be inquisitive enough to ask such questions. There is a real need for these questions to be asked. I appreciate that you have taken the time to investigate, to evaluate, and to biblically review the gift of prophecy. I know you have seen the demonstration of all the gifts in operation and realize how important it is that we get a deeper understanding of this prophetic movement in the Body of Christ today.

The definition of prophecy is foretelling, telling of things to come. Many people assume that prophecy is anything you tell them that has to do with their life. They may think it to be something they are presently dealing with, something they have been praying about, or something that has happened in their childhood. That is the word of knowledge. Hopefully we will discuss this gift and the gift of wisdom later. However, Prophecy deals with things to come. Judging prophecy is something else we need to discuss at some point in this interview.

“But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men” (1Corinthians 14:3).

PASTOR RAS: One of the definitions of prophecy in I Corinthians 14:3 has to do with edifying, encouraging, and consoling. When I look at the definition in this passage, I see another little phrase and I wonder what you think about it. I think it is Strong’s Concordance that says prophecy is an “inspired speaking”. What does that mean to you?

PROPHET KENT: Well, my understanding of that definition is an inspired utterance by the Holy Spirit to men. In II Peter, the first chapter, Peter says that we have a more sure word, the prophetic word. He says also in this passage that the prophetic scriptures (scriptures dealing with things to come) never came by the will of man but by holy men of God who were moved by the Holy Spirit.

“For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21).

This scripture clearly defines inspired speaking not as someone who is a good orator, but one who is a vessel through which the Holy Spirit speaks. You referred earlier to Joel that in the latter day’s young men would prophesy, old men would dream dreams, and the Spirit would come upon the sons and daughters.

“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the remnant whom the LORD calls” (Joel 2: 28-32).

This scripture would indicate that the Holy Spirit is still giving inspired utterances to God’s chosen vessels today. We really question whether that can happen these days; however, we will find out that it is possible. The Lord is definitely raising up the prophetic utterance in this day.

What is the Word of Knowledge?

PASTOR RAS: One thing I see in your ministry, Brother Kent, is that you zero in on an individual. You prophesy directly to that person. I know there are other things you do, but that is what I have seen you do primarily. A person will come to you and you will tell them things about themselves that often only they and the Lord know. In that Revelation it is almost as if their heart opens to receive your word of foretelling or your word of encouragement. How does that work?

PROPHET KENT: When the Lord reveals things to a person (past or present, which is a word of knowledge) it brings them to a place where they can believe. My wife and I often see that when the Lord tells us of things that have happened in a person’s life (word of knowledge) and then they receive their prophecy; they then are able to believe the prophecy will come to pass. One of the things about prophecy that is most difficult for people to understand or believe is that God is going to build them up with a word of such great edification and encouragement. That is what edification is for, building up of men. What God is doing is raising a temple, and we are the living stones. He is taking each stone, as a potter would, and is beginning to mold each of us for our perfect place in this temple.

We have had many people write and say, “Well, I got my prophecy, and I don’t know, it sounds a little bit too far-fetched. I just can’t see myself praying for the sick and someone actually being healed. I just can’t see myself getting out of poverty. I can’t see myself… you fill in the blank.” What happens is that over time the prophecy begins to unfold. It will happen whether they believe it or not (if the word is true and from the Holy Spirit).

The Word of Knowledge that we were speaking of, telling of things already happening in a person’s life is the catalyst that helps them to be able to believe.The Word of Knowledge that we were speaking of, telling of things already happening in a person’s life is the catalyst that helps them to be able to believe. They may say to themselves, “Well, if he was right in what he told me in this area of my life, maybe there is a possibility that he is right about my future. Maybe the prophecy I just received will come to pass. After all he was right about what I did that only God and I know, and he did reveal a prayer request I have not told my spouse or my children. God evidently told this individual who is ministering to me what I have been praying. After all, God is answering my prayer through him, so there is a good possibility that the things he said about my future are going to happen, too.

What is the Word of Wisdom?

PASTOR RAS: So the Word of Knowledge is like a faith door, and if the people receive it then credibility has been established. Then you can speak that prophetic, foretelling, word to them. Should an individual look to prophecy for direction in their life?

A Word of Wisdom will give guidance, direction and has conditions.

PROPHET KENT: No, because prophecy is not conditional. If it is of the Lord it will happen, regardless. However, a Word of Wisdom will give guidance, direction and has conditions. Many people have tried to work out their prophecies. They may have received a Word from God that said that He would be moving them or they would start a new career, perhaps even establishing them in their ministry. They then try to help God fulfill the prophecy. The worst thing a person can do is try to make the prophecy happen.

We live in an instantaneous society, one where everything has to be “nuked in 30 seconds”. We want it now. We, as people of God, must understand that we are people of an eternal God. He is not dictated by time. He does not wear a wristwatch, and He rarely tells us that we are going to receive tomorrow. Christians are going to have to learn that we are eternal beings. We must change our mindset and stop thinking that our life is going to be over when we are 80 years old.

It reminds me of Abraham when he received a Word from God that his barren wife, Sarah, would give birth to a son, Isaac. After a period of time the word had not come to pass so they thought, “Well, let’s just jump in and help God a little.” They took Sarah’s handmaiden and gave her to Abraham so that she could conceive a child that they may see the prophecy fulfilled. They could not wait for God’s perfect timing. Remember, Abraham and Sarah brought an Ishmael into their life. Ishmael became a real sore spot in their relationship. Everything began to fall apart until Isaac, God’s appointed son, was born to Sarah. That was the promise, a son of Sarah.

The best thing to do when you receive a prophetic utterance, which deals with things to come, is to take that Word and write it down or save it on disk. It is important to keep it in its exact form and entirety. Then put it on the shelf, listen to it from time to time, and judge it by letting time pass. If it is the Lord, it will come to pass. David had to wait 20 years to become King after Samuel prophesied that he would be King of Israel.

You cannot judge prophecy by your surroundings. David, for example, was hunted like a mad dog by Saul, who was the King. It looked as if there was no possibility of him ever sitting on the throne! God will reveal himself and bring your prophecy to pass in such a way that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you had nothing to do with it. He does this so that you will know with confidence that God has given you this Word and that He will fulfill that Word in you in His perfect timing.

Thank you for the CD prophecy. You use your gifting in a most accurate and astounding way! I am so glad I found out who you are on the Elijah list. What an awesome gift God has given you. Such encouragement you have given me.

Many blessings,
Pat


From Elijahlist.com;

I got up early this morning and opened my e-mails and found your message, your stories and something inside of me jumped. I love the true prophetic and it is so rare in my area of the country. I’m from the ‘show me state’, Missouri and it’s like faith is foreign to most, so they doubt the true calling of the prophet. But I believe God is raising up prophets that will guide us through these days we are living and your testimony encourages. I would love to sit under one of your services, but as the centurion said, you don’t have to come to me, just speak the word. If our God speaks a word of prophecy to you for me, please feel free to share it with me. My greatest desire is to walk in God’s perfect will and purpose for my life and I believe He often gives instruction, encouragement and confirmation through prophecy. I could use all three.

God bless!!
Amy


To Kent,

I want to tell you about something I experienced a few days after I received your handkerchief. I was sitting in the cafeteria where I was in Gospel City, (The name on this Place/School).

It came such a stillness and the presence of the Lord was so strong I could not speak, I could not pray, just sit there and I thought I was sitting there for hours. I could not move either. I wondered if that was this encounter with the angels that was sent to minister to me?

A few days before I was going back to Norway I had a 3 day Estther Fast without any food without any water, I took nothing. This 3 Days. I don’t know the reason for it, but I know that I had to do it. On the second day of this fast, that night I saw a person standing at my bed and there was a beautiful smell, maybe like roses. I don’t know if it was an angel or Jesus? I just wanted to tell you about this.

Thank You and God Bless!
Edith From Norway

God’s Network of Miracles

In the early 1990’s there were only a few Pastors who believed in personal prophecy or trusted anyone who said they could hear God. One special friend of mine, Apostle Paul Roberts, who has an international ministry and has established many churches in various foreign countries, called me with a request for a Pastor friend of his. He told me over the telephone that his friend’s name was Gary Holcombe. Gary was from Hawaii and had just been laid off after serving his denomination for over 17 years.

Reverend Holcombe had spent a few years as a traveling evangelist for his denomination before taking on the missionary responsibilities in Thailand. Eventually, Rev. Holcombe became the overseer of all the Pacific Islands and pastored a Church under his denomination’s banner. Feeling very secure in his position, he found himself totally caught off guard when he was given his notice of release. Having to vacate the parsonage with his wife and two children, he was basically homeless with nowhere to go. This is when he called upon our mutual friend, Apostle Paul Roberts.

Apostle Roberts knew the pain Rev. Holcombe was experiencing, for he too had been given his walking papers a few years prior from the same denomination. With great compassion, Apostle Paul made arrangements for Rev. Holcombe to bring his family to Texas from Hawaii. After Rev. Holcombe’s family was settled in, the plan was initiated for Rev. Holcombe and his family to take Apostle Roberts’s van and travel around the country to various churches preaching as well as looking for a church to pastor. After a few weeks Rev. Holcombe returned financially broke and emptied of any confidence he might have had in himself. This is when Apostle Paul Roberts called me.

We made arrangements with Apostle Roberts to meet Rev. Holcombe and his family at a restaurant that was midway between the distances of our homes. When I was introduced to the Reverend Gary Holcombe and his dear wife Bonnie and their two children I could see right away God was going to deliver them from their pain. As we waited for the meals to be prepared, I pulled out my trusty tape recorder and dropped in an audio cassette tape. After a few things were recorded regarding their past, the revelation of which caused them to believe that maybe I was able to hear God for them, our Lord said, “When you return to Hawaii there will be one waiting on you who will offer you a place to live and within the same month you will be offered a position in a ministry that will establish you.”

I am not sure if they had even planned on going back to Hawaii, but they seemed to be happy of the fact they had some direction. Within a short period of time, I received a call from Apostle Roberts and he informed me that Rev. Holcombe and his family did in fact manage to get a flight back to Hawaii; however, they had no idea what they were to do when they landed. He continued to report that when they landed in Oahu the Pastor who had replaced him met them at the airport. He loaded their things into his vehicle and took them to their old parsonage and told them he was not going to need the place, for he had a home. The first part of his prophecy had just been fulfilled.

Rev. Gary Holcombe & daughter Jessica

After they waited around for days in the parsonage someone came knocking on the door. When they opened it there was someone from the church who said that a Mr. Pete Sumrall had called for him and had given Rev. Holcombe the phone number. Rev. Holcombe returned the call and found out that this man is the son of the late Dr. Lester Sumrall, a well-known television minister. In fact, his son Pete Sumrall ran the TV station in Hawaii and was calling to offer Rev. Holcombe a job at the station. Within just a few days, Rev. Holcombe was sitting behind a desk at the station drawing a paycheck for more than he made at his former position. One of the benefits was that he was given a 30 minute television spot to launch his own ministry, “Prayerline Hawaii” was the name of his television program. This was the second part of the prophecy that had come to pass in a very short period of time

Apostle Paul and Nancy Roberts

Then Apostle Paul Roberts reported that Rev. Holcombe was a new man. He reported, “It is true, one word from God can change your life.” Continuing with his report, Apostle Roberts said that Rev. Holcombe was setting up a three day revival in a large church for all three of us to minister and that he had a number of other churches who wanted to host Apostle Roberts and myself to minister to their congregations. Then he informed me that I would need to bring my family and that we would be staying at his place, for three weeks and three days. Needless to say, I was taken aback by the request, for that is a long time to be away from home, although we were really excited about the plan. This was just the beginning of a new relationship that God had formed by delivering His Word, and there is much more to tell.

God’s way of networking continues to shock me even today. His promise to me was that everywhere a prophecy was sent I would reap a harvest. My rewards have been abundant, and I am so blessed to be a small part of His Word being sent out that more lives may be changed.

Pastor Boone Bureenok

My relationship with Rev. Gary Holcombe continued to grow. In fact we traveled to Thailand to help out Pastor Boone Bureenok who had been forced to start an orphanage. You see the Pastor and his wife frequently would find early in the morning a baby in a box or on the ground at their front door crying. Young mothers who were drug addicts would dump their babies at that door in hopes they would take care of them.

Dull of Hearing – by, Kent Simpson from Kent Simpson on Vimeo.

Experiencing the call of God to help Pastor Boone, Rev. Gary Holcombe and I flew to Thailand with camera gear in tow with plans to make a video to air on LeSea Broadcasting Network to raise funds for Pastor Boone Bureenok. We cut a 30 minute segment and it aired for a period of time on LeSea Broadcasting Network. This was just one of many ministry experiences Rev. Gary Holcombe and I had the wonderful pleasure of being a part of together. However, God’s networking has not stopped with just these great men for He continues to build links with others to this day. Being in the ministry under Jesus Christ is the most exciting life, and the rewards are out of this world.

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
John 18:36

Comments and Testimonies

Then Jesus said to him,
“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
John 4:48

Prophecy is the testimony that Jesus is not dead but Alive and Speaking to you and I.
Kent Simpson,
Prophetic Pastor


Dear Pastor Kent,

Greeting’s, I wanted to personally thank you for God’s prophecies through you to me. It must take a lot of courage to speak some of the things that God tells you to speak. So thank you so very much for being obedient to do that. You have told me a lot of things that I imagine alot of other prophets would be reluctant to share with me. But everything that you’ve shared has so born witness with me. So, always, no matter how outlandish that something may sound to you from the Lord, please go ahead and continue giving it all to me As it is greatly assisting me to prepare myself in the fulfilment of God’s calling for my life.

Your brother in Christ, blessing’s,

Joseph Lancaster


Amazing!!

I am amazed that the Holy Spirit is already bringing about what you spoke to me!! You spoke about a prophetic gift that would be activated and that sometimes I would be shunned but the word would surely come to pass. I have things coming from my mouth that are not coming from me! They are causing disruption to the status quo so you can imagine how “interesting” my life has become. I am enjoying this new more intense relationship with The Lord! Thank you so much for obeying The Lord and putting that article in Charisma magazine so many years ago.. Isn’t this walk incredible? I’m still astounded by all of this! Keep up the good work.

Your fellow Texan,

Julie A


Dear Prophet Kent:

Thank you so much for allowing me to connect with your ministry. Since I’ve connected with you everything has started to work out in my life. Sometimes there is that one missing link that you need to put your life in order. You are that connection I needed. I thank God that you have been obedient to the heavenly calling. You are saving lives.

God’s love, and mine,
Kyle Miller
