Publisher's summary

What happens when prophets are wrong?

In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president. Over thirty years before that, one the famous Kansas City Prophets, Paul Cain, prophesied that there would be a revival in London in 1990, which never came to pass. These examples make us wonder:

• What happens when prophets get it wrong?
• Are there consequences for misleading God's people?
• What would a genuine prophet look like today?
• And how can you tell a false prophet from a genuine one?

In recent years, misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God as well as 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.

To unpack this difficult topic, Kendall, a self-described "Reformed charismatic," relates accounts of visions and supernatural experiences and shares stories and thoughts about Christian leaders that he knew personally, such as Paul Cain and Ravi Zacharias. He gives examples of good and bad prophecies and teaches a biblical and theologically-sound understanding of prophetic gifting and use.

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. It's a call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance; and it speaks to Christians of many different traditions, including Charismatic and Evangelical.

Discerning Christians of many different traditions can and must take both God's word and the gift of prophecy seriously and recognize how humans can abuse such gifts or use them to advance God's Kingdom.

A much needed wake up call

Thé arguments put forward by RT Kendall are underpinned by a solid knowledge of scriptures on the one hand and of the attributes of God on the other hand. It exposes Prosperity Gospel as a con.

So Good!!!

This book very much lines up with how I see God moving. We were saved in Charismatic church that was fairly well balanced with the focus on the Word and the Spirit. We moved a few years later only to find Charismatic churches that were not balanced well with the Word. Now we are in a very nice Baptist church and the preaching of the Word in amazing, but hardly anyone steps out in real faith filled prayers for one another. I believe that RT Kendall is right about the next coming revival! Praise God!

Gentle. Biblical. Just what we need.

R.T. Kendall does what is improbable for most: present a balanced correction to the modern day church that feels loving and yet filled with a personal sense of the fear of God. Love every word. Thank you Pastor R.T. Kendall

Worth the listen.

I love how RT Kendall emphasized the importance of being grounded in God’s Word no matter how gifted you are. And I’m grateful for his boldness to call out the ‘prophetic charlatans’ over their erroneous prophecy about Trump and remind the Church that our mandate is to preach the gospel—not political agenda, political parties, or politicians.

Good

The prophetic integrity aspect is great (5 stars), but the interjection of political examples stinks. I wish he had remained with personal examples or christen examples. The political examples ruined the book for me.
