SEASONAL GREETINGS TO YOU ALL FROM THE "PROPHET" BRIAN!! I HAD A GOOD LAUGH ON THIS ONE!

Dear Friends,

Earlier this year I became aware of a false rumour circulating about me to the effect that I had called myself a "Prophet". This claim is completely untrue and I was at a loss to understand how it had begun to circulate and what it was based upon. I now believe that I have the explanation.

Until sometime in 2012 I used to preach regularly at a church in another part of Yorkshire and, during 2014, the church was joined by someone else called "Brian" who claims to be a "Prophet". It is understood that a communication between this church and a ministry here in York resulted in confusion between me and this other Brian. No-one bothered to check out this tale with me and discover that such an assertion and appellation would be abhorrent to me . As a result the gossip spread and was used in an attempt to destroy my ministry, blacken my character and damage my reputation as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am no Prophet; I only barely scrape through as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. At no time have I ever made such a claim or said anything like it and I forgive anyone who has propagated this lie ; we all make mistakes and fail to check things out in the hurly-burly of these perilous times.

I remain, in His love, your servant in Christ,

Brian.

PS. Although we do not celebrate Christmas, a commercialised pagan festival which has nothing to do with the birth of the Lord Jesus, may Gilly and I extend warm greetings to you all and a New Year full of His Blessings.
