  • How do I deal with criticism? I get asked from time to time...did you research that on Facebook? Wow! I don't have time for that! LOL! That would be so incredibly hard to do. The amount of work it would take to maintain a lifestyle of manufacturing would be all consuming. But when you are a lover of the Holy Spirit and a lover of truth, you can't let yourself get distracted by people who don't believe you. My job is never to convince people if they don't believe in it, it's not important for people to believe in me, but I want to help people understand these gifts: words of knowledge, wisdom and prophecy and I hope to help people believe in the gifts.
    When you are processing your prophetic journey, you will have people who will not believe you. But the moment you compromise is the moment you ruin the whole thing for yourself. The moment you have to manufacture, it is the moment you need to step out of the prophetic for a while.
    Anytime you go after something new that's supernatural, you will get a lot of mixed reviews, and that is part of what you will deal with when you go after these gifts. I want to encourage you, you are not alone. A lot of people who are used in this way have gone through a season of rejection, and that's part of the journey and graduating. The moment you put people in the enemy category is the moment you will not have authority to love them. Focus on the right people that God has put in front of you!

    I was travelling in a car with a pastor, when I heard a loud noise on his left front tire, it sounded like a blowout. I asked the pastor immediately if he heard the noise, and I told him at least 3 times I HEARD something like a blowout and if he did not mind to stop the car. He assured me that he had full control of the steering wheel and no such thing happened. Just 3 days later, I was in the car with him again and his wife and 2 kids and there was a blowout in the left front wheel. When we came to a stop, I looked at him in the eye, and saw that he was surprised. That left front tire was retreaded, which means he took a tire that was worn, and retreaded it, instead of buying a new tire. A member from his church did the job for him, which resulted in that. The threads came loose and slapped the body work, and the same noise I heard 3 days before occurred. To this day I realised that the Lord not only gave him ample warning about a tire that would malfunction, but he also protected his family and myself, from that severe incident. Blessed be the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

    I became bitter towards those who rejected me for the things I did under the leading of the Holy Spirit, and it reached a point where I sought counseling from a teacher of the word. He said that I should focus on what God says about me, and that people will always speak against you no matter what you do. I took time to forgive them, and all this happened yesterday
    To see you post this video shows me that God is still on my case. This has encouraged me to pursue God and my call to ministry despite what people say.

    I appreciate this SO much! Shawn called me out by my first and middle name in September of 2019. He gave me one of the most encouraging words I have ever received. I had a family member tell me that Shawn researches people who come to this mtgs. To be honest, I was effected by their negativity for a few days. But Jesus reminded me of Shawns heart and that he is not weird; and by that I mean he has fathers and mothers in the spirit. So he is submitted and not a weirdo off on his own. Thank you SO much, Shawn, for being willing to step out like you do 😊

    This is so good! I remember when I started to tell my dad just a LITTLE information that I am a dreamer and he almost had a panic attack. It was heartbreaking to me that he doesn't believe that this is from God and that "it's evil"...... but I ran to Daddy God. He comforted me and reminded me how of how He sees me and what He is calling me to. When I embrace and focus on what He sees in me and what He's calling me to, it refreshes me and really ministers to me..... deeply. My Daddy God is so very proud of me! Just as He is so very proud of all who embrace His Love and become that representation of His Heartbeat! With Him, we can do all things! Phil 4:13

    Thank you, brother!! This was fresh air to me. The criticism has mounted as I stepped out of a Cessation Church (and I LOVE them and even still preach in some of them, I respect their walk with Jesus) but man o man each year it has heated up as Prophetic words flowed and then as miracles started happening. THEN, we had an open door to preach a Crusade in Central India. God poured out and miracles popped out like popcorn, which caused about 10,000 to make decisions for Jesus. One guy flew back off of his feet and his head hit the platform we were standing on like WWF. He woke up three minutes later screaming, "it's gone, I can see." I had no idea he had a tumor on the back of his head, I just heard, "Lay hands and pray his head is healed, almost sounded like his "brain, will be healed." So, I did. I barely touched his forehead and something knocked his feet out like a football tackle front way, and his head hit. When he shared his testimony the tumor was gone! He was almost blind, the last seven years. Fast forward to this Christmas at home with the family. My entire family and I have been super close for nearly 46 years. They did NOT even want me in their home. I'm just dumbfounded. Feel like I lost my mom and dad who wanted me to be a Billy Graham. I told them I did not ask God for these things, I begged God to give this to someone else, just let me preach salvation. Thousands at the crusade reported, "a dove landed on my head as you were preaching and I spoke in tongues." Just to be honest, I tried to hide it Sean. Feel a giant hole in my heart, I LOVE my mom and dad. Please pray for me, my heart is truly hurting, my parents, family and ministry supporters think I have gone crazy! But I can't deny what I have seen, and felt, and heard. We lost over 50% of our supporters. So, do I get a job? Should I go back to Higher Education as a dorm director? I cannot and will not go back from the gifts God has given, they are gifts. They are not more important for Jesus, but they are FROM HIM, and He is giving crazy levels of favor with India government! I could feel hate from a few fam members. Just hurt. Thank you Sean. I hope to meet you for coffee sometime, just a 15-minute cup. Please pray for us!!!

Strife, walk in peace making. Someone takes something from you, bless them with something ontop of what they have takien. Others speak against you, speak only good about them.

    I was just sharing with the Sunday school class my husband and I teach your testimony where in a meeting you missed every single word that night. Afterwards a lady approached you frustrated because she was sure you were a fraud but you proved her wrong by missing everything 😆 We were doing an activation exercise to practice words of knowledge and prophecy and listening to holy spirit. 2 of them were total God moments, the rest guessed or felt blocked but they were so happy and encouraged when I shared your testimony. I also told them how a year later that same list of words you wrote down that missed were right on in another meeting including a word about a child that wasn’t even conceived yet when you first “missed” it. It’s a powerful reminder God uses even our misses for His glory! Bless you Shawn

This is such a beautiful and healthy way of uncovering this topic, since it really had a big toll on my growth process because it made me confused as to why Christians would do and say these types of things, and it made me second guess so much on the prophetic.

It hurts to be misunderstood then attacked over it, but helps to remember that I don’t know these folks and their opinions don’t matter to me. Ignore it and rise above is a good strategy.

    You're a man, my son!
    In JrHi I had to memorize the Rudyard Kipling poem, "If". The lines that come to mind are,
    "If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:...
    ...If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,...
    ...If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!"
    I genuinely thank you for the courage you show to venture out onto the "kooky" limb and challenge all of us to join you in Jesus' name. I'm SO tired of scared, powerless religion. ❤

  • @shanebekker7114
    @shanebekker7114 Před 4 lety +3

    Absolutely brilliantly said Shawn!!!! I found that if we start simple and trust the Holy Spirit, and be prepared to fail, but fail forward and see it as a learning curve, we can continue to walk in our gifting of prophecy or word of knowledge or word of wisdom. I start of by giving words of encouragement and if God gives me something more than I will share that, but through asking questions in regards to what you believe the Holy Spirit has shown me. I say, "I sense God has shown me this..." and they either say yes or no. It is learning to hear correctly but not forgetting to enjoy our relationship with God. I have seen you Shawn, make the prophetic fun, by focusing on your love relationship with God and loving people, not just trying to give prophetic words. So many people become intense on giving a word to validate themselves that they miss the whole point of why. The answer is because Jesus loves that person you just prophesied too. Love relationship first. It's what all the skeptics are missing as well.

  • @Bzeelicious
    @Bzeelicious Před 4 lety +1

    First of all, we as Christians have to believe that God is All-knowing and is specific when He speaks, otherwise, we wouldn’t believe in Words of knowledge.
    Also, when we start to try to prove ourselves to man, we become man-pleasers instead of God-pleasers. I think one of the main distinctions between King David and King Saul was that Saul was more concerned about what men said and thought about him, but David was more concerned about what God said and thought about him.
    Thank you Shawn for this, it will help me tremendously as I pursue the prophetic.
    I’m looking forward to coming to your event in CT.

That video and Jason Upton's sound brought me through a very difficult time. Looooonnng story short. I being a woman had no voice. Jason's albums during that time period of my life became an anthem in my spirit. The song Fly, and the entirety of His sound brought me out of the deepest darkest spirit cry... It is part of my DNA now...I love how the Spirit works that way. Then.. I see YOU again, a voice at Bethel. I just want you to know that I saw who you were early on, and am so thankful Abba has given you the platform He has. I need what He brings through you to give me courage to be who He says I am. From your podcast interviews to you posts about warfare or being a Seer.... I am so taught by Him through this ministry He has set before you.

    In a local news paper, a guy posted a comment about two kinds of people. The people 'for', and the people 'against'...
    We can't really live a fullfilling life if we are always opposing something. Many of the 'fault finders' are opposing this and that, and think that God is pleased with it.
    But as I heard someone say many years ago, if you follow God whole-heartedly, you won't have time to oppose any thing, because you will find too many positive things in His Kingdom...

    Last year was FULL of opposition! 😔
    It caused so much insecurity in my soul. I love people so much and would and will pour out my whole life and resources to accommodate the needs of others. God still allows me to do so but only when he shows me who to lavish his love upon. I felt like I wasn't christlike when I decided to ignore people that weren't worth my time. When I made that decision with Gods help it brought back that peace that passed all my understanding. They were stealing my peace. There were manipulators! People that seek out easily manipulated people. I grew up in a home with parents who used to and still do manipulate people. God has separated me from them. I still love them from a distance but they will no longer trip me up and slow me down in my race towards my calling. It all drew me closer to God though and I look back and consider it training. I was just talking to my husband the other day about how God values our time and he longs for it to be steward properly. Like you were saying some people are not worth our time. I went to lunch with a religious lady who was telling me all about how she had been in our church for 27 years and how she doesnt like women who are beautiful because Christ was not beautiful for anyone to be drawn to his outward appearance. She also doesn't like women who wear tights because it shows off their curves even if they wear a long blouse over them. I realized later she was describing me and was feeling intimidated by the positions I had taken in our church and the voice that i was developing. She was trying to trap me in conversations about our pastor. And sending me pictures of her family and him from the 90s to prove their position in the church. Then another lady in a local business that I decided to collaborate with for my Photography mentioned how she dont think my Valentine's sessions would sell if I wasn't collaborating with them. That was just 2 weeks ago. I was crying so hard. But God stilled my soul and reminded me that who I am and what he has called me to is not dependent upon them. And thank God it's not! My hearts desire for my year is just me and God. All I want is just me and him. I dont hate people but that experience drew me to only rely on him. The persecution prevents my pride and self righteousness from growing and I consider it a blessing.

      I can so relate to your comment. Now I always ask the Lord what he wants me to do (or not do) to help someone else. I have also found that the Lord will have me minister to a 'difficult person' for a season and then He will release me from that assignment. It is not forever, or until that person's life gets better. He is a good Father and He looks out for me.

    I had a ministry leader screaming at me, totally red in the face, mad that I was praying for people! He said “what gives you the authority to do this?” And it made me laugh because I knew that was one of the same things the Pharisees said to Jesus! One of the biggest compliments we can be given is to walk the same path that our Jesus did :) thank you Jesus! Do it again and again.

    Good word. I've been learning a lot about this throughout the years. I used to be such a people pleaser and feared peoples opinions, but now more then ever I'm learning not to waste my energy on the cynical, skeptical or hateful. I still get angry inside and have to stop myself from asking God to call down fire on them lol. But I'm growing. Thanks for your example brother. I was really upset when I first found out about you. I felt like a fake because of comparison, but God helped me heal of my shame complexes.

  • @thereeds_faithfamilyfun7475

    I appreciate this video. Family and friends can be tough sometimes. A prophet is not welcomed in his home town, rings so true thru this journey I am on. Too many people see the carpenter’s son and miss the Son of God in them. The Lord has been working with me and it’s getting better, but I could still use your prayers. Thank you so much.

    Thank you for this Shawn. Love your teaching and your stories. They provoke and inspire me to pursue the Lord more and more. Watching you is so great because while you are ministering the Lord you are sooooo human. You are (by your own confession I think) super self aware but your humanness hangs out all the more. Which is great because it's all covered with major Grace... And actually validates and it allows what you are ministering to go that much deeper in us listeners. Love you! Thank you for putting yourself "out there" for our benefit. You constantly minister how much He Loves Us... and "He can do this in me too!"
    This video was real confirmation. I have run into flak in breaking into and moving in healing. It has bothered me and I've had a desire to try and respond to it. But the Lord keeps telling me to 'leave it behind--go forward and just keep loving and praying for people and seeing more people healed.'

    I would have been a sceptic too however when I spend time with the Holy Spirit I have had many things revealed to me. Anyone who spends time with God will get that increased relationship. I do not know why anyone would lie about the things of God.

  • @highrisejules
    @highrisejules Před 4 lety

    It was very painful for me years ago to have two friends and fellow labourers in the Kingdom not believe in miracles I just experienced and shared with them through my giftings of intercession, evangelism and prophecy. I was looking to celebrate God's goodness. In the moment, when this couple told me that they really don't believe what I just told him- I was able to offer lots of grace like I totally get your reaction... however it was quite disappointing that mature people of faith might be less able to believe than people than some that don't actually know Jesus in some cases.... Its also a personal criticism to a certain extent however it's important not to go there or entertain that aspect for too long because God's grace is over all of us. Within the body of Christ it is true that you encounter people that have certain levels of unbelief which exist and or woundings or strongholds that don't allow or don't perceive the moving the gifts on the Earth.

    You know, you could just do a Facebook Live in some random mall and ask the viewers to pick who to pray for you, 😂.
    You could even make rules like "if you already know that the gifts God gave me are real, *don't participate...* only non-believers allowed" or something like that.
    I mean, those who discredit you out there could still say "bah, that was all preplanned" and all that, but I dunno... it will definitely get some conversations going and maybe even change some minds, lol.
    Anyway, thanks for sharing tips from your experience in the field! Shalom and be blessed!

    @MrFreakyboy448 Před 4 lety

    Shaun, I say this because I love you. Please humble yourself and come to your senses. The true God of the Bible brought me out of the Charismatic Movement after I had a terrible experience when praying for the gift of prophecy. I won’t go into details but I’d love to talk with you but this is idolatry of spiritual gifts and of the Holy Spirit. The true Holy Spirit points towards the true gospel and that’s that we are all wretched sinners in need of a savior and that is Jesus Christ and looking to what he did on the cross and trusting that. The gospel should be the focus of a true Christian because only repentance and faith in Jesus can save. Please read scripture and really think about what I’m saying. I care for you and don’t want you to go to hell so please repent and trust in Jesus Christ!
