John invites David to share his journey from the Assemblies of God into an international prophetic healing movement that claimed supernatural authority, modern apostleship, and end-time fulfillment. He explains how teachings about tongues, holiness, dominion theology, and five-fold ministry prepared him to accept increasingly dramatic prophetic claims.<br /><br />Together they examine how charismatic structures can shift into authoritarian control, how miracle culture shapes belief, and how false hope surrounding healing—especially involving autism—can deeply affect families. This discussion explores Pentecostal history, prophetic movements, and the warning signs of personality-driven ministries.<br /><br />00:00 Introduction<br />01:09 David’s Pentecostal Background<br />04:23 The “Calling” And Pastoral Ambition<br />07:02 Dominionism, Bible School, And Institutional Religion<br />10:16 What Pentecostal History Leaves Out<br />14:00 Tongues, Fear, And Salvation Anxiety<br />16:14 Pastoral Authority And Walking On Eggshells<br />22:05 Credentialing, Rejection, And Disillusionment<br />25:19 Leaving The Assemblies And Finding A New Teacher Online<br />27:59 Why Fractured Pentecostalism Pushes People Toward New Prophets<br />30:36 The Kenyan Prophet’s Changing Story<br />34:39 Why The Claims Felt Believable<br />36:33 Moses, Elijah, And Supernatural Power Claims<br />38:34 What Started Breaking The Spell<br />41:14 Transfiguration Imagery And Divine Status Claims<br />44:08 Kenya, Healing Services, And False Hope<br />45:10 Autism, Desperation, And Unanswered Promises<br />48:16 Advice For People Trying To Leave <br />______________________<br />Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:<br />Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962<br />Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K<br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ<br />– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org<br />– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg <br />– Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham<br />– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr<br />– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
