Kim Clement Admits To False Prophecies
It's the same old song and tap-dance

Scenario: A man claims to be a prophet of God. After being caught in multiple false prophecies, he becomes offended, defensive, and all teary-eye when he receives "negative" feedback from Christians who apply the Biblical tests and expose him as a false prophet.
With a wink and a nod, the false prophet makes excuses, seeks sympathy from his followers, and goes to great lengths to twist Scripture to maintain his self-appointed position and following. He feeds his deep-seated pride and arrogance by rewriting and reinterpreting God's written word. He leads his followers to a false god. His desire is to be the final authority--without question--despite what God's word says.
It needs to be restated over and over again: Throughout the Bible, God has ZERO TOLERANCE for false prophets. There is no fellowship between God and false prophets (Deuteronomy chapter 13; Deuteronomy 18:20-22; Jeremiah 14:14; Jeremiah 23:31-32; Ezekiel 13:9; Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Peter 2:1).
False prophets are NOT members of the body of Christ, nor are they brothers and sisters in Christ. Every false prophet will have his or her day of reckoning with God at God's appointed time (Matthew 7:21-23; Revelation 20:11-15).
Just as one cannot be a thief and a law abiding citizen at the same time, one cannot be a false and true prophet at the same time.
Singing and dancing
Known as the "singing prophet," Kim Clement is a self-proclaimed prophet of God who sings "new revelations" from God and tap-dances his way around false prophecies at the drop of a hat.
In the following paragraphs from an article titled, "Special Message," note that Kim Clement's admission to being a false prophet carries with it a subtle warning to his followers, as well as those who would dare speak a word against him:
I want you to have a good time and I want you to know something, that I am genuinely in love with God. I don’t have to tell you that, but I want you to know that I do. And there will also be critics that will be watching now because you don’t understand prophecy, and I understand that. Half the time I don’t even understand myself.
The Bible says we prophesy in part and when I prophesy, I prophesy what I hear. "Kim, are you ever wrong?" Yes I am. So, if you’re out there to trick me or trip me up, you are wasting your time because I go to God three times a day and I pray. And if I’ve done something that may have misrepresented him I ask him to forgive me. If you don’t fully understand the prophecies it’s best that you don’t get up and try to pull me to pieces making out that I’m a false prophet. There’s a big difference between a false prophet and a true prophet. Now some of you and a lot of you wrote to me and you blessed me, and I thank you for that, but some of your wrote in with concerns that I said some things on this last broadcast where I prophesied from God which I will not apologize about, but I used some language.

Amazing. Simply amazing. When a false prophet looks his audience in the eye and admits he is a false prophet, the long and winding deceptive train has arrived, belching its poisonous steam down the throats of the innocent.
Decision time
Kim Clement is a prophet of God only because he says he is. He sings an incredibly deceptive siren's song which, like the Sirens in Greek mythology, he woos and sings to his followers, and becons them to crash their spiritual boats onto the rocky shore of destruction and death.
Kim Clement avoids the Biblical warnings on false prophets in favor of "new revelations from God" and what he claims to hear. But God's written word judged Clement a false prophet the moment he uttered his first false prophecy. He downplays the very God he claims to worship, and tap-dances around God's holy and inspired word to his own destruction.
Kim Clement a false prophet. He is to be avoided at all costs.
And how can Christians recognize a false prophet?
Jesus warned us that "false Christs and false prophets" will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24:23-27; see also 2 Peter 3:3 and Jude 17-18). The best way to guard yourself against falsehood and false teachers is to know the truth. To spot a counterfeit, study the real thing. Any believer who "correctly handles the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15) and who makes a careful study of the Bible can identify false doctrine. For example, a believer who has read the activities of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Matthew 3:16-17 will immediately question any doctrine that denies the Trinity. Therefore, step one is to study the Bible and judge all teaching by what the Scripture says. [ http://www.gotquestions.org/
