There is nothing worse than con men using Jesus and the Bible to enrich themselves from silly people. And personally, I think this locks in your decision in rejecting Christ, as how could such a seared conscience make a U-turn? And would God call them? But what’s wrong with people that follow such a person? Of course, we’re in the time of people pursuing leaders who tickle their ears and lead the apostasy before Antichrist appears. Worth pointing out, direct revelation from God has been sealed in the church age until the end times, so an easy sign for rejection is anyone that claims direct revelation from God and being a prophet or apostle, especially when it contradicts scripture or they tell such silly stories. Wisdom is to fear the one that can destroy both body and soul, in hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senior pastor of Vineyard Church Northwest has issued a statement regarding their church seer, Micah Turnbo, following an expos\u00e9<\/a> by apologist Mike Winger<\/a> regarding a multitude of controversial statements he has made. The statement defends Turnbo\u2019s giftedness and calling while chastening Winger for his lack of charity and discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnbo, who is Pastor of Prophetic Ministry at Vineyard Church Northwest in Cincinnati, Ohio<\/a>, and the founder of Behold Wonder<\/a>, came under the scrutiny of Winger for claiming, among other things, that he frequently goes to heaven and frolics around where he experiences fantastical extra-biblical revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnbo reveals he once sat on God the Father\u2019s lap and played with God\u2019s sparkly beard, that God the Father likes eating \u2018spicy food\u2019 whereas Jesus has a \u2018sweet tooth,\u2019 that an angel appeared to him while he was pooping and gave him revelation regarding his \u201cfloaters,\u201d that Judas is in heaven, that Jesus\u2019 favorite marvel hero is \u201cSpider-Man\u201d and that he loves watching Avengers movies, and that Jesus entered into his video game and became a character while angels gave him tricks for beating the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, when Micah was playing Street Fighter, and angel came to tell him tips and tricks to beat the game.

He has also insisted that, as a prophet, being accurate is his \u201cleast concern.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnbo, who claims he was delivered from homosexuality a decade ago, frequently raised eyebrows for his insistence that men and women need to start kissing Jesus on the lips because that is what the Lord wants. He also claimed he had an encounter with Jesus where he and Jesus underdressed in front of each other and got totally naked, and where Turnbo proceeded to rub oil all over Jesus\u2019 naked body at his request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In response to the video, Senior Pastor of Vineyard Church Northwest, Luke Haselmayer, has issued a statement<\/a> acknowledging that Turnbo \u201ccould\u2019ve been more theologically careful in some recent podcasts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Micah readily admits that he does not always have full understanding of some of the things he experiences, and may even, at times, partially misinterpret them, take them too far, and at times, like any human being, misremember some details.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That brief acknowledgment aside, Haselmayer went on to ferociously defend Turnbo, pointing out that \u201cMicah publicly reaffirmed that he always subordinates his prophetic experiences to Scripture\u201d while disagreeing with Winger that he was being \u201ctoo charitable in how I receive Micah\u2019s revelations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Though Mike (Winger) would say otherwise, I think he\u2019s confusing his personal \u201ccommon sense\u201d with biblical discernment. Most (not all) of the time, it seems to me that what he finds strange in Micah\u2019s visions likely offends his intuition more than it violates Scripture. He also presents Micah like he thoughtlessly and blindly decides what and what not to share, when in reality, Micah often agonizes over what to disclose and intentionally seeks Jesus for permission.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He concludes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

There\u2019s more I will say, but let me conclude with this: Micah Turnbo is not a liar. Micah Turnbo is not delusional. God has supernaturally confirmed this man to me more times than I can count.

Many of you have heard of the extraordinary dream I had in 2014 where God indisputably did so. I\u2019ve been close friends with Micah for 11 years. I\u2019ve seen his character in private and in public. I\u2019ve seen him minister from stages and in living rooms. He has been consistent, trustworthy, full of good fruit, and always wholly committed to pointing people toward friendship with Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
