Around the 2024 election in the USA the British so-called prophet gave a supposed prophetic word about the impact of the renewed presidency of Donald Trump. She said that he was not a blessing, but an instrument of judgment. She also said that large parts of the Church had elevated him into a messianic figure and failed to be appropriately concerned about his many moral defects. This caused the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) to take the previously unheard-of step of publicly criticizing her prophecy. In the 25 years since ACPE was formed that has never happened before. They really thought that it was urgently needed!

Several members of ACPE followed this statement with video recordings, basically repeating what was written.

ACPE describes themselves as the primary group to provide oversight and promote soundness in the prophetic. I have read hundreds of so-called prophetic messages from within the NAR, where ACPE plays a key role. Most of them have been exceptionally bad and in need of correction, something that ACPE has failed to provide. Which is not surprising, since many of these words have come from its members.

Right now their reaction cannot possibly be explained as a concern for the health of the prophetic ministry, but as a way of asserting dominance and power over a dissenting voice. I will provide an evaluation of a so-called prophetic word that caught my eye a while ago, when I was doing research for a forthcoming book. It will show how bad a prophetic word can be, without any intervention by the ACPE.
