What happens when prophets are wrong?

In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said that God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president, which did not happen. What happens when prophets get it wrong? Are there consequences for misleading God's people?

In recent years, gross misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God and moral failures within Evangelicalism have resulted in a crisis of belief. In Prophetic Integrity, bestselling author and speaker, R.T. Kendall gives a warning to those speaking in God's name and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of the church.

Includes:

• Personal accounts of visions and supernatural experiences
• Good, bad, and ugly examples of modern-day prophecy
• Seven levels of prophetic gifting
• Examples of false teachings within open theism
• Relevant Bible verses and meaningful quotes
• Thought-provoking questions
• A call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance

Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets.

This book gives principles that will help you recognize God's presence in your life, guide your relationships, prepare you for spiritual and emotional success, and motivate you to help others recognize when God show up. This best-selling author teaches the life-transforming principles he learned when he encountered God though an unexpected spiritual experience, providing principles for learning to receive God's love, face life's trials, cope with temptation, and face disruptions of every kind.

As recent events have unfolded, not only America but the entire world has been brought to the precipice of the most challenging moments of our lifetimes. But while these times seem unprecedented and unchartered to us, they are not to God. Much like He said to Joshua and the children of Israel standing on the edge of the Promised Land, God now says to us: “You have never been this way before” (Josh.3:4). God’s word is tender, challenging, and scary. God knows where we’ve been and where we are going. As we cope with extraordinary new outbreaks of disease, racism, and cultural upheaval, we have been forced to recognize that we are not prepared for this. Nobody is.

Yet there is hope. In this timely message, trusted theologian R. T. Kendall helps you navigate the way forward by exploring how God led His people in the past. Along the way, he answers questions such as:

• Where is God in all this?
• What do Christians have to offer the rest of the world during these times?
• Did the devil cause these things? Did God cause them?
• If God allowed these things to happen, then why?

Pleasing God is a practical resource for Christian living that inspires believers to seek the greatest honor of anyone's lifetime--to have the privilege of pleasing God.

Christ's total forgiveness means that we do not have to earn our salvation. When we give our lives to Jesus, we are justified by faith alone. Good works are not required. Prayer is not required. Practicing total forgiveness is not required. Wow--what a gift! But chances are, if you have been born again you want to do good works. You want to pray. You want to forgive and love your enemies. You desire to please God.

In Pleasing God, bestselling author and well-known preacher, R.T. Kendall, unfolds the meaning of persistent faith. Starting with the story of Enoch, Dr. Kendall explores biblical teachings that call believers to "find out what pleases the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10).

With biblical teaching, personal stories, and humble wisdom, Dr. Kendall answers these questions:

• What pleases God (and what displeases Him)?
• Why should we please God?
• How should we please God?

Imagine the joy and peace that will come from pleasing God more than seeking approval from others. The world needs this book!

This happens by trying to move outside your calling and capabilities, for example, or even through impatience. Drawing on the Bible, especially the lives of Saul, Samuel and David, as well as his own experience, he helps you to identify your current usefulness and urges you to seek a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit each day. God wants to give His anointing to everyone. But have you stepped into your fullness and potential? Don't let your past ruin what God has for you today. Don't be too busy to hear His voice. Learn how to wait patiently for God's perfect timing and the promotion tht will be here tomorrow. The fresh anointing is available to you...right now.

Kendall’s best-selling work Total Forgiveness, you will find inspirational readings to guide you into a new place of peace and joy.

Does Jesus care? How can you know--even in situations where He hears your cry and does nothing? Perhaps it concerns the death of someone you prayed for. Or the betrayal by a friend whom you trusted. Or a financial matter you prayed over, only to have things to go from bad to worse. And you have to wonder, does Jesus really care? R.T. Kendall carefully follows the account of Jesus's response to Mary and Martha as it is found in John 11 to show that He does care. In fact, He cares more deeply and painstankingly thatn you or I can begin to imagine. Whatever is happening at the moment, you can be sure of this: it is for the glory of God. And Jesus loves you-more than you know.

Many of us want more from God instead of more of God.

Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This is a promise. No one needs to tell you if the water you drank when you were thirsty made you feel better. So too with experiencing God. When it happens, you will know it for yourself.

More of God is about moving beyond faith. It is about getting more of God. Experiencing more of God. Every book in the Bible, especially the books of the New Testament, are written for this purpose. Take the letters; those who are addressed were already saved. But the writers wanted their hearers to experience not just more knowledge about God but more of God.

Everything in this book is designed to make you hungry. Thirsty. As you read, keep in mind that the ever-increasing hunger for more of God is from God.

Kendall’s advice: “Don’t settle for more mere information about God. Or more theological knowledge. Give yourself no rest until you cross over that crucial line from secondhand knowledge about God to firsthand knowledge of God. There is nothing more exciting than when you see for yourself that God is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit is real, and the Bible is true!”

We all have a little bit of Pharisaism in us.

Pharisaism is one of the sins that angered Jesus the most. Yet we are often in bondage to it without realizing it. How can we recognize the warning signs in our own hearts and lives and be set free?

Do you consider yourself a better Christian than others? Do you enjoy pointing out others' faults while ignoring your own? Do you fail to practice what you preach? If so, you might be a Pharisee--a modern-day version of the religious leaders in Jesus' day whom He condemned for their legalism and self-righteousness. It's time to take a hard look at your attitudes and behavior and allow the Holy Spirit to set you free.

You will learn the following:

• Twenty-five signs that indicate you might be a Pharisee
• Why the sin of pharisaism angered Jesus
• The opposite character trait Jesus modeled
• Steps to take to rid pharisaism from your heart and mind

David Ireland, pastor of a multiracial megachurch in New Jersey and diversity consultant to the NBA, equips Christians to usher in a new era of racial reconciliation in One in Christ. Racial disharmony is tearing communities apart, both inside and outside the church. But Jesus Christ is, and was, a great reconciler. Warmth, regard, and respect emanated from His person toward others---all others. Part of this allure was the fact Jesus was comfortable in His skin. This made others who approached Him comfortable in their skin. This quality fuels the deconstruction of walls---the tearing down of barriers that keep us apart. In One in Christ, Ireland shows us that this quality can be learned. In fact, at the cellular structure of Christianity is the ability to be cross-cultural. The Great Commission proclaims it. Jesus said, "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). The word nation is the Greek word ethnos, where we derive the English word ethnic. In essence, the last charge Jesus gave was for His followers to become cross-cultural ambassadors. This is not optional, Ireland says: We must each become racially accommodating.

From best-selling author and theologian R. T. Kendall...

Will you continue to sit back and take sides?

This book will help you unite the power of the Holy Spirit with the knowledge of God's
Word, and anticipate a last-days revival because of this union.

In October 1992 while pastoring Westminster Chapel in London, England, R. T. Kendall
organized a conference around a series of sermons prophetically describing what God
may have in store for His people in these last days. The series proclaimed an
outpouring much deeper than anything we have ever experienced—an awakening not
based on feelings or emotions but inspired through the irrevocable truth of God's
Word, fulfilled through the conviction and direction of the Holy Spirit.

In Word and Spirit best-selling author and theologian R. T. Kendall challenges your
traditions, emotions, convictions, and maybe even your faith. Kendall shares his vision
of the future—of a holy unity of the Word and the Spirit that leads to a last-days
revival.

There are those who live their spiritual lives by biblical explanation only. Meanwhile,
others base their theological dispositions on “signs and wonders” characterized by the
Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. In this exciting and controversial book R. T.
revives his original messages, adding new insights into what they mean for us today
and revealing everything we need to know about the coming move of God.

Seek honor and praise from God and not people.

This book will help you to stop being motivated by the approval of others and instead start living for the validation that comes from God alone.

Respected author and theologian R. T. Kendall shares a profound revelation of the meaning of John 5:44, the scripture that has guided his life for more than sixty years. Early in his ministry the wise counsel of two mentors brought this scripture to light, and he has determined to live by it ever since. Now he passes on the same wise counsel to his readers.

In For an Audience of One, Kendall explores what it means to truly live for Christ alone. Many Christians believe in God and claim that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, but sadly their actions betray them. They are more concerned about the approval of people. They avoid truly following God's leading or taking a bold stand for righteousness if they fear they might lose a friend.

Because they are more worried about what people think than what God thinks, they miss out on what God is doing.

It's time to learn what a life truly surrendered to God--and God alone--looks like. Readers can live the life He has purposed for them! They can stop being motivated by fear of others and addicted to their approval. For an Audience of One shows readers how to start living for the honor and praise that comes from God alone!

God Meant It For Good traces the stages of Joseph's life as he matures from a young and impetuous man to one who is prepared to leave his own vindication with God. It presents a case study in total forgiveness exemplified by Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers and applies it to Christian living today. This classic book will challenge, provoke, transform and excite, as the God who taught Joseph to love, forgive and serve, is the God who meant it for good.

Seeing Jesus as He Really Is takes you on a journey through the Gospels and along the way, you'll see how Jesus really lived, how He radically changed the world, and how Jesus is portrayed through the word of God.

Seeing Jesus as He Really Is will help every reader know how to answer the questions that Jesus asked His disciples, "Whom do men say that I am" and "Who do you say that I am?"

Chapters include:
Jesus and His Methods;
The Sweet Presence of Jesus;
The Name of Jesus;
Called to Do the Works of Jesus;
Pressing in to Jesus.

Do you worship the God of the Bible, or a fictional character?

This book will bring us back to the God of the Bible. Not the God we like or the way we wish He were, but the very God of the Bible—unembellished, unvarnished—as He really is. This does not mean we will like Him.

Many times we are embarrassed by the God of the Bible, especially the God of the Old Testament. We are even embarrassed by the teachings of Jesus when it comes to His being the only way to be saved, as well as God’s right to judge and reward or condemn.

We attempt to manage God’s PR and fix His image in the modern world. We are tempted to modify and mold God into what we want Him to be—what we think He should be. Instead we should be finding out where God is and meet Him there, even if that takes us out of our comfort zones.

This book will challenge you to give up your conception of what you would like God to be and come to know Him as He really is.
