Kim Clements Latest Prophecy



Several people have asked me about a prophecy that is circulating from Kim Clement regarding the recent destruction of New Orleans.  Here is the “prophecy” as Clement claims it was given

On July 22nd, 2005, while in Texas ministering, I received a word from the Spirit which was spoken publicly at Christian Life Center in Humble, TX. Here is the word:

Servants of God; Gatekeepers of New Orleans:

"Enough of past curses reminding you of yesterday’s failures. Enough of New Orleans and its treachery. Enough of stealing the Ark of the Covenant from my people just because you had those surrounding you that had no faith. Caleb said "we are able to take this land;" Joshua said "we are able to take this land." But ten voices arose against the Lord God. And they would stone my servant Moses and say let us stone them and raise up another leader so that we may go back to Egypt. Would you go back to your dung? Would you go back to your vomit?

O New Orleans God speaks to you from Houston tonight and says enough of this! For a judgment is coming says the Spirit of the Lord, and I will take the men that have stood in faith, raise them above the flood that shall destroy those that constantly bicker and stand against my servant Moses, or my servant Bilbo. I want you to understand there are great men in New Orleans that have faith, but you have been set aside not to lose but to win. Enough of this! For I will take the curses and the bodies will even rise and they will come forth on the water, but I will keep you and the stench of death will only last a few days. And then what I promised two years ago will come to pass for August, September and October of this year I made a promise it would happen, and God said be strengthened now, be strengthened now, for enough is enough says the Lord."


First of all I will give Clement the benefit of the doubt and assume that he actually did speak these words publicly even though it was not posted on his website with his other prophecies until after the fact. I would also like to add that predicting a flood for New Orleans is like predicting an earthquake in California or a tornado in Texas. Your chances of being correct eventually are pretty much 100%

So, does this validate Clement as a true prophet of God? I’ll let you decide.

Let’s start by looking at some other Clement prophecies. Here’s one from last year

Prophecy given by Kim Clement in Utica New York, January 10, 2004
Al Qaeda shall be exposed shortly. There has been a threat that has come from them and there has been a threat spoken out by Osama bin Laden that within 35 days the USA shall experience a catastrophic event. But even as I brought out the other rogue from the hole in the ground, in the same period that bin Laden predicted catastrophe against this nation, I shall bring him forth, I shall raise him out of his own hiding place, and I will bring him to a place of accountability.”

Did this event come to pass?

January 12, 2004 on TBN, Clement restated the Utica NY prophecy and expanded it to include the following

The Spirit said to me, "Take note of the digits on your clock (3:11) when you first awakened." An unfolding of many thoughts came to me after I heard this. I know these thoughts were for the purpose of me entering into a greater level of prayer and intercession. God told me that March 11, 2004 would be the beginning of an unusual chain of events in the Kingdom of God. He spoke about that day being the unveiling of mysteries and revelations that would affect the following areas over a period of time:

Political events that will bring a period of peace for the USA


Hidden agendas exposed and a shaking of terrorist activities in a big way


Unusual access into secular arenas for the purpose of evangelism


Medical discoveries that will affect the following diseases: Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Parkinson’s, a lung disease, and a rare bone disease


Unusual spiritual manifestations in spiritually uninhabited places with mass responses due to media coverage of these events


Kingdom appearances in church meetings (churches that are hungry for fresh things from God will "tarry" until these Kingdom manifestations actually take place.

...Regarding "Kingdom appearances," I was taken to Matthew 17:2-3. Jesus transfigured before them and they saw Him in an appearance that they had never seen before. I believe that these appearances will carry the church into a period of prophetic revelation which will not only unleash ideas, strategies, and inventions, but an overwhelming outpouring of miracles which will manifest without man's command. )

March 11 will begin disclosures in political circles, and the President will have to use a firm hand against internal enemies


Cain will be exposed (Ministries that attempted to "destroy and kill" their brothers because of jealousy, accusation, and hatred, will be banished for a season until they are humble again. )


"Finally, I saw March 11 as the "beginning of the end" of major terrorist leaders and movements. God will bring them out and will display them before the world. Even though there will always be terror, hatred, aversion, and attacks against Christian Nations, there will be a reluctance to use modern methods of attack in such a violent way against this generation of believers and leaders. However, God has a plan to demote them, but that will be revealed later on.


When the 35 days came and went without the capture or death of bin Laden, Clement first tried to claim that the term “bring him forth” did not necessarily mean capture. Then he issued the following clarification.

Not once did I say that the 35-day period would begin from January 10 or 12. It clearly says that as bin Laden put a time limit on his attack on the USA, God has placed that same time period upon him. However, there is a deadline and from what I can gather from the utterance, Easter is the time to celebrate this victory.

On March 5th he wrote: "We do know from this word that the specific time period would be linked to March 11 and Easter. We also know that God has indicated that OBL will be uncovered. In baited expectation, we look forward to the season ahead of us, anticipating the wonderful things that God has promised for both our personal lives, the nations of the earth, and specifically the United States of America."


First it was 35 days from either Jan 10 or 12. That would have put the bin Laden event around Feb 14-16 2004. Nothing happened. Then it was March 11 and Easter. Apparently the god that Clement hears from cannot read a calendar because Easter 2004 was on April 11 not March 11. But something important did happen on March 11. Do you know what it was?

On March 11 2004 almost 200 people died when terrorists bombed several trains in Madrid. Was this the "beginning of the end of major terrorist leaders and movementsas Clement had claimed? 

OK, lets move ahead to Easter Sunday April 11 2004. Clement said “…there is a deadline and from what I can gather from the utterance, Easter is the time to celebrate this victory.

Sunday, April 11, 2004: U.S. military says 16 troops killed in past 3 days.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The deaths of two U.S. Army pilots Sunday and the announcement of eight additional American military deaths in Iraq pushed the total number of troops killed there since Friday to 16, according to U.S. Central Command. 

Is this the victory that Clement said we should celebrate on Easter? Was any of this from God or was it perhaps a vision of Clements own heart. What does God’s word have to say about this?

Jer 14:13-14
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

I have kept copies of many of Clements prophecies over the years and I can tell you that what I have chronicled above is only the tip of the iceberg. I have yet to find even one prophecy that can be said without any doubt to be a true utterance.

Some people excuse this by saying that a New Testament prophet is under a different anointing than an Old Testament prophet. They say that a New Testament prophet doesn’t always have to get it 100% correct. Somehow under the better covenant we cannot expect 100% accuracy. Many use 1Cor 13:9 to legitimize today’s false prophets.

1Cor 13:9
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

To prophesy in part, they say means that we sometimes mix error with truth or that our own flesh gets in the way. They say that because we now live in a covenant of grace we must excuse those who make “mistakes” when speaking for God.

Well I say that is a lie, spoken by liars, to cover up for other liars!

The word translated ‘part’ is the Greek word meros {mer'-os} which means, one of the constituent parts of a whole, in a measure, to some degree.  What this means is that when God gives a prophecy it is usually only a piece of the complete picture. There is no evidence to indicate that this scripture validates false or untrue prophecy uttered in the name of God.  Let me give you an example from scripture.

In Acts 21 we have the story of a prophet named Agabus who prophesied to Paul about his upcoming trip to Jerusalem.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Acts 21:11

That is all Agabus told Paul. He prophesied in part. He only gave Paul a small piece of the picture. At that point Paul did not know what the outcome of this event would be. It could have meant his death, but from that little piece of prophecy Paul had to decide whether or not he would obey God.

Has God ever done that to you? Has he ever given you one step and waited to see if you would obey him before revealing more of his plan to you?

In the case of Paul we know that ultimately this event led to Paul being able to preach the gospel in Rome which was God’s purpose all along. So Agabus prophesied in part but he did not prophecy falsely!  Everything he told Paul came to pass exactly as he said it would. Read it for yourself in Acts 21:30-33.

There is no evidence anywhere in the New Testament of anyone prophesying falsely and that false prophesy being excused by God. Let me say this plainly. Anyone claiming to speak for God had better be sure he is hearing from God or else he should keep his mouth shut!

Now, I understand that some prophesy can be conditional. God gave prophecies in the Old Testament that were warnings of what would happen unless the people repented. In some cases the people repented and God delayed or canceled the prophesied judgment. Jonah’s prophesy to Nineveh would be an example of this.

But most so called prophets today are not giving conditional prophecies. Most aren’t even giving prophecies of judgment at all but rather ear tickling talk of all the wonderful things God is going to do for us because we are so good and holy. I fear for these people. There is absolutely no fear of God before them. They say thus sayeth the Lord without a second thought as to the actual source of what they are saying.  If they do not repent they are bound for destruction.

There is one other aspect to this that I need to mention.

If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Deut 13:1-3

Kim Clement fits the above scripture to a tee. God himself sends false prophets like Clement to test us, to see of we are going to follow Gods word or the false word of the prophet.

Clement sometimes gives signs or dreams that seem to come to pass. But he also preaches a false gospel which is what God is saying when he warns ‘Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known Clement does not believe that the preaching of the cross is the way to win people to Christ. 

Here are some quotes from one of Clements appearances on TBN.

” The church, with its prophetic mantle can actually win a lot more people to the Lord because of the idea that we are presenting right now, and that is that every one of you were born and formed and sent upon by God for something great. The prophetic makes you aware of something that is already present in you that you've not seen……. Everyone that's born, God has placed something special inside. It's our responsibility as preachers of the New Millennium to bring out the treasure that's already there……….. I'm telling you there's going to be some ignoramuses coming to meetings, into our meetings, the New Millennium church, that's not focusing on the sin and trying to force them to repent and make them afraid because they're going to go to hell, and they're going to discover 'there's a glory, there's a beauty inside of me' that only Christ can bring out by the power of His breath and His resurrection. And that's what way the church is going

Does scripture actually teach that every one was formed by God for something great?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: Rom 9:21-22

Does scripture teach that there is something special inside us, a treasure that must be brought out?

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:…….
Rom 7:18

Am I an ignoramus as Clements claims for telling people that except they repent of their sin they are bound for hell?

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Cor 1:18

On a personal note I have attended a Kim Clement ‘Prophetic Gathering’ as he calls it and I can tell you that it felt more like a demonic gathering than anything else. The entire ‘service’ was man centered, not God centered. What he called praise and worship was never directed toward God but was all about man. All about our great power. All about our great anointing. All about our great warfare against the devil.  It was all very dark (both figuratively and literally) with lots of repetitive chanting and calling forth of spirits. It was almost hypnotic and the people just ate it up.

Today many are called prophet’s and many claim to operate in the gift of prophecy. Most are nothing more than religious fortune tellers. Like the popular false prophets of the Old Testament they tell the people and the leaders what they want to hear. They talk of America’s greatness. They flatter religious leaders, telling them how God is going to use them in ever greater ways. They tickle the ears of the people with stories of material wealth and abundance that will soon be released to them. They are liars and unless they repent they are bound for hell.

The office of the prophet exists to call the people back to proper worship of a holy God. The true prophet of God always warns people of God’s righteous judgment. He always calls them back to repentance. His words are usually harsh and sometimes seem to be unloving. He rarely has good things to say about individuals or about society. He is usually seen as some type of crank or bitter doctrinaire legalist. He is always greatly outnumbered by the false prophets and in most cases the true prophet ends up dying a martyrs death.

Jer 14:15
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Anybody still want to be a prophet?
