There is a broad misconception among many Christians today that there are still Old Testament style Prophets who speak without error the direct words of God. This is false. Those types of Prophets ended with the coming of Jesus Christ. For many years people looked upon Kim Clement as an Old Testament style Prophet speaking “Thus sayeth The Lord”
Within the New Covenant there is the “office” of Prophet as the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 4:11-12:
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ”
However the Prophets that Paul is speaking of are not the same type of Prophets that were found in the Old Testament. Because God’s written word has been set and closed. God is no longer speaking through Prophets to continue to add to his written word.
1 Corinthians 14: 29:
“Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.”
The New Covenant Prophet is intended for edification of the body of believers that the Prophet is a part of, and the body of believers are to “judge” what the Prophet says, and they do that by using God’s written word, and if what the Prophet speaks is contrary to God’s Word then that Prophet is to be ignored!
It begs the question whether Kim Clement understood this, or whether he did not agree with it, and actually believed he was an Old Testament style Prophet or whether he knew he was a false prophet and did what he did for self gain. All we can say now is that whichever it was, it is now between him and God.
After suffering from a brain bleed and other medical complications for more than a year, Kim Clement, who was known as a prophet, has died, according to an announcement by his family. He was 60 years old.
“It is with deep sadness that we share the news that our beloved Kim has died and passed into Glory, and is now in the presence of his Lord, his best friend, Jesus,” Clement’s family announced on Thursday.
Clement was serving as the senior pastor and spiritual leader of House of Destiny, which describes itself as “an online church family.”
“Many have asked, or may be asking, who is Kim Clement?” says Clement’s website, and describes him thus: “He is not really an evangelist, or a pastor, or even a missionary, although he has worked in all of these areas. … Many have called him prophet, but to simply call him a prophet is not even enough because of the unfortunate stigma attached to that title. Part of the journey to understanding Kim Clement is a lesson in understanding the uniqueness of his destiny. He is not a doom and gloom prophet with an apocalyptic forecast every three years; instead, he is a voice of hope to those who need it the most. He is able to paint a picture of destiny that inspires instead of frightens those who catch a glimpse. He has found a way to define again what it is to be a true prophet.”
Kim was recently hospitalized with pneumonia and complications due to his diseased lungs, and his body was too weak to combat the illness, the family said. “The support and love that you have shown to Jane and the family throughout this 16-month journey has been crucial to them having the strength to withstand the fight. We are so very grateful, and we appreciate your continued prayers for the family as they face the upcoming days. Our hearts are broken, but we cannot mention his passing without honoring and celebrating the amazing life that Kim lived.”
Clement “fought a good fight, finished the race, kept the faith, and is now embracing his exceedingly great reward in Heaven,” the family said.
In January, 2006, Clement prophesied about the rapper Eminem and horror fiction writer Stephen King, but the prophecy didn’t come true. “This year, I will raise up Eminem to be a voice. Conversion shall come to his house — Eminem. This year I will touch Stephen King, and he will write for the Kingdom of God,” he wrote in an article.
“Kim’s prophetic gift is a magnet that has drawn a broad audience,” the website says. “He has whispered to kings and inspired prisoners. His diverse, extemporaneous perspective has gained him a notoriety that transcends culture, race and religion, placing him onto a world platform. … While Kim’s ministry is unorthodox by “institutional standards,” it is firmly grounded in both the Old and New Testament scriptures, as detailed extensively in Corinthians, Samuel, and Kings.”
Kim Clement was so blatantly false and I believe he was truly a Wiccan just like his best friend Marty Layton. Anyone who is a genuine believer will be filled with the Holy Ghost who will guide them into all truth and warn them who is not of the same spirit. Kim Clement was not of the same spirit as me. He was a deceiver and used by Satan to teach people lies.
That Christian Post article was pretty pathetic. The morning Kim died I just accidentally discovered the news before the news was hardly released. All I could say is ‘Lord, how do I pray in this situation because…..’ one can only hope and pray that Kim repented of his sins and of pretending to be a prophet of God and all the false prophecies he gave, but unless he did this and became ‘born again’ as the Word of God tells us is necessary and which Kim did not believe in then Kim Clement went to Hell. It does not matter how great people on this earth thought he was or wanted him to be, or how many followers he had, or who he was friends with, or how many stages he stood on, or cameras he stood before or whatever….. has nothing at all to do with popular opinion. It has everything to do with what the WORD OF GOD says, and from what I understand Kim denied the truth.
I believe that it would be terribly frightening to call oneself a prophet and know that you are not. When such a person faces God on judgment day what shall they say to the Lord when He asked them about this facade they lived to lead thousands away from the truth? Pretending to be something they are not? Such a dangerous place to be with the Lord.
It grieves me and it probably grieves the Lord that so many have made a “god “out of Kim Clements. “… Many false prophets shall arise…”, A sign of the times… The first mark of a false prophet is one who points others to himself…
Kim’s Prophecys all didnt come to pass as told, and he said America have a Revival of God and our Government would Glorify God. Now look at the shape of America for living in laws that were not changed from: Same sex marriage’s, Transgenders, Full term abortions. All passed under Obama terms in office. Here we are with a pandemic deaths all around America, and this world. The man blatantly lied obviously. First off a man that’s doing Gods will, and a true speaker of his word will be blessed with a long healthy prosperous life if he would have been a messenger of Gods end times which we are in now. God have Mercy on us all for our King Jesus Christ is at the doors now, and anyday before destruction he comes for his bride of chosen believers that live, and pray to him in a repented life to him Amen.
