I have been following JJ's ministry for a couple of years now and I am having some real underlying bad feelings that are not good at all . Maybe I have been burned too many times by jumping on the revival bandwagon of someone who got off ?The false doctrines in the church should be corrected by strong Pastoral teachers and not the prophets ministry. The prophet may see and warn of something wrong, but I don't see any New Testament precedent for them to be the one to correct the errors. I personally have been in some strong prophetic confrontations over the years and I am not against that at all. But that is more of a behind the scenes ministry that most do not see or hear because it's private.Also, when I was in Word of Faith circles it was almost heresy to question Kenneth Hagin's visions. I don't hesitate to examine every vision of anyone for myself to see if it is really God sent or someone trying to correct the body of Christ with their visions.
