To all who received the prophecy about Pittsburgh for January 19, 2012:

My heart is very heavy this morning as I write this, not only because I misrepresented God's name by prophesying falsely about a destructive event to befall Pittsburgh, PA on 1/19/12, but also because so much hope was sparked in the hearts of some of my friends through other words that were spoken to them in the context of this during our meeting; hope which may have been dashed by this prophecy failing to come to pass. For all these things I want to sincerely offer my heartfelt apology and beg forgiveness, both from my friends as well as anyone and everyone who received that prophecy.

In these matters my heart was sincere, and my motives seemed right, but it is obvious that I took small bits of information that was revealed in prayer and ran with it to an extent that far exceeded what God had spoken or intended. I filled in the gaps in revelation with assumption and presumption, causing the message to be twisted and to go from truth way over the line into falsehood. This is on me, and I make no excuse for it. I will bear the burden and responsibility without complaint, and with God's mercy and strength.

This has also been a morning of the revealing of true friends in the faith. Much encouragement has been directed my way as well as a great deal of mercy. I'm learning that when you fall down there will generally be two responses from those around you: 1) help & encouragement, or 2) pride, derision and even mockery. I have received a lot of the former and, thankfully, less of the latter. This is a testimony to the grace and mercy that abounds in those who walk by faith and not by sight. I am completely humbled by the loving, encouraging responses I have received.

I pray this confession will help repair any damage I may have done to the image of God in the eyes of anyone in whom it was effected by this event failing to come to pass. In the latter days false prophets will abound, and God forbid I be found standing among that group. I repent fully and completely, without excuse and without lessening my actions. Again please forgive me. Please also keep me in prayer that in this season of the increase in hearing God's voice that I do not step outside the lines of the path that He has intended, either to the right or to the left, but to honor His name in the eyes of others in all that I do.
