How Bill Johnson started the prophetic in Weaverville: asking people around a table 'what do you think Jesus would say?' then declaring they had just prophesied

Bill Johnson's Theology and Movement Examined Biblically. 00:53:13 – 00:55:14

Mike plays a direct video clip of Johnson explaining his methodology for launching the prophetic ministry

Johnson narrates: 'There was zero prophetic — not a prophetic mouse, not a prophetic flea.' He started by gathering a group, turning to each person and asking: 'If Jesus were to walk in the room right now, what do you think He'd say?' After going around the table, he told them: 'Do you realize you all just prophesied?' Johnson concludes: 'It's that easy. It's when you strive that you miss it.' Mike identifies this as the origin point of Bethel's prophetic culture — people were trained to say what they imagined and call it prophecy.
