A “prophetic” movement, led in part by Texans, is gaining ground—and everyone should pay attention.
Last August, Dallas business consultant Lance Wallnau addressed the “Awaken the Sleeper” conference at Vida Church in Mesa, Arizona. Dressed business casual and speaking off-the-cuff in a lively style that mixed humor with right-wing, anti-media vitriol, he spoke for nearly an hour about a coming “global economic meltdown,” the evils of the left, and how Christians should respond. “I can’t help prophetically wanting to tell you the future,” he said. Because U.S.
Some readers—Christian and non-Christian—may be tempted to write off such comments as mere fundamentalist nonsense. That would be a mistake. Texans like Wallnau and Jacobs, who take the titles “apostle” and “prophet,” are quite serious.
What Jesus is saying through Pierce, however, is sometimes—at least to a mainline Protestant outsider like myself—head-scratchingly inscrutable. For instance, in 2022, Pierce: “In the season ahead, our prayer lives will become more authoritative. What will happen once you pray is that Holy Spirit will bring down certain judgments and start dealing with injustices. … Do not be over-merciful and back down.
Pierce is probably the least overtly political of our three Texas prophets. “I am not politically motivated in the prophetic realm,” Pierce told theby email. “A true prophetic voice doesn’t prophesy based on political leanings. … I pray for all of those who serve in authority. “Spiritual warfare theology lead to the demonization of peoples, cultures, and political communities.”
As a religion scholar, I regularly encounter reports of mystical experience, divine revelation, spirit journeys, miraculous healings, and the like. Some are, from my perspective, difficult to believe. Yet that’s insufficient reason to write them off. Such phenomena form the bedrock of the world’s great religions; to dismiss them out of hand is to dismiss the worldviews of billions of people.
