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.

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)

A curated collection of Logos Bible Software clippings compiled by Cheryl Schatz examining the Greek word κεφαλή (kephale) and Hebrew רֹאשׁ (rosh). The clippings draw from lexicons, encyclopedias, commentaries, and academic journals to argue that "source/origin" is the primary metaphorical meaning of kephale rather than "authority/leader," with implications for interpreting 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and Colossians 1.
