During the October 20 Line of Fire, Jim Osman (author of God Doesn’t Whisper) called into Michael Brown’s show and criticized him for platforming the worst of the worst of charismatic ne’er do wells, telling him, “I would say that you have given a lot of shade, in fact, shade to some of the worst and most egregious charismatics, charlatans, false prophets, and hucksters that the charismatic movement has turned up in recent years…”
This is factually true, and is why many get so frustrated with someone like Reformed mainstay James White, who repeatedly platforms Brown and points to him as someone who can be trusted to be discerning and manure mature in the faith, despite him giving cover to every sneaky-squid-spirit-believing nutbar out there.
Case in point, Brown recently wrote the forward for Kevin Zadai’s new book ‘Mystery of the Power of Words.’ Zadai is about as outlandishly rotten as they come. He has made a career by claiming he died in 1992 while undergoing routine surgery and consequently spent 45 minutes in heaven, where Jesus revealed to him all sorts of new revelation and teachings.
Since then, he’s gone back up to heaven more times than Kat Kerr, where Jesus teaches him directly the mysteries of the kingdom that he’s been charged with passing on. Like all the liars who claimed they spent time in hell, his whole shtick is revealing what Jesus told him, even when they clearly contradict scripture. He routinely appears on shows like ‘Sid Roth’s ‘It’s Supernatural’ where he’ll tell the host literally 50 or 60 times in one program “Then Jesus told me…then Jesus told me…Then Jesus told me…” over and over and over again.
If that wasn’t enough, just last year Zadai joined the long and ignoble list of charismatics who prophecied that Trump would win a second term for the Presidency, but did not, resulting is his “What Jesus told me about the Election” video aging very poorly.
Naturally, Michael Brown thinks this guy is great and wrote the forward for his book:
Unsurprisingly, the book is rife with false teaching from front to back and functions as one big compendium of secrets ‘Jesus said” and other revelations Zadai has access to that no one else does. You can note how casually he reveals conversations between Satan and Jesus surrounding his death.
What is especially troubling is his portion on ‘Resurrection Power” where in this book, and elsewhere, he teaches that the atoning work of Christ did not end when he died on the cross, but rather that Jesus suffering went beyond the cross. In particular, he Jesus spent several days alone in hell, suffering in anguish and in isolation.
Yet John 19:28-30 tells us differently.
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.”
It was finished on the cross, not three days later when Jesus was ‘rescued’ by God from Hell. Another obviously lie is that he claims Jesus spent a weekend alone, suffering in silence and isolation, which contradicts Jesus telling the thief on the cross in Luke 23: “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
There is no rebuke from Michael Brown or correction on any of this stuff. Instead, he wrote the forward to the whole affair. Read back on just some of the highlighted text above. Brown endorsed all of that, and in doing do, became a partaker in his wicked deeds.

Bonus, remember when Brown issued a wager to complementarians, putting up his prophets of baal two most famed charismatic sorcerers prophets Chuck Pierce and Tracy Cook, who said that COVID-19 would begin diminishing by April 16, 2020. You can read about that here: 120 Days in, Dr. Michael Brown Silent on Failed, Wagered Charismatic COVID-19 Prophecies. As can be expected, he never followed up with his wager and as far as we know, never spoke about it again.
