I recently reported the fact that Sherman Allen (accused of paddling a woman) and who is being sued by that woman was invited to speak at a conference called “A Few Good Men”. In response, several HickTowners wrote to “Prophetess” Witherspoon to inquire about why she would invite this man to speak when it is highly possible that he might be guilty of abusing a woman.

Note from HickTowner to ”Prophetess” Witherspoon below:

Before you allow Sherman Allen to preach at your conference you need to read these scriptures. You are supposed to know these scriptures as a prophet and you’re suppose to have discernment to know those who are among you. Stop supporting this man because you’re not restoring a brother, you’re actually helping him to cover up his sins but it’s time to openly rebuke him and start holding him accountable. The reason Sherman Allen has gotten away abusing women for years is because people in the church has turned a blind eye to his mess. Set the proper example for the body of Christ Prophetess Witherspoon and send the message by not allowing this [alleged] sexual predator to speak at your conference. It’s appalling as a woman for me to believe you would have an [alleged] known clergy sexual abuser as a guest speaker at your conference next month. It’s very disturbing and now got me wondering who’s really hearing from God.

God Bless,

Romans 1:32 ” 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Ephesians 5:9-11 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

I Timothy 5:19-20 says, “19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”

Galatians 6:1 says, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted”

Response from “Prophetess” Witherspoon

[Note: There are numerous errors in spelling in Witherspoons' letter]

Good Morning,

First of all I would have liked for you to come out with who you are and not (formetoknow andforyoutofindout).

I don’t think that it is appropate for you to be in hiding anbout you identify. When in fact you revealed the name of the accused. However, to address your concerrns. I will say this “he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone” John 8:7

Then, next I will say to you that all have sinned and come short of his Glory. But his mercy endures forever. Certinally I do not justify sin because sin is not white nor black. It is just sin and stinks in the nostrels of God. But becasue of his mercy and grace that is renewed upon us everyday. We can come out of whatever has us bound.

I don’t know what happened, I wasn’t there, and unless you were there or you seen a video of what happened they have allegiedly said you can’t condem anyone. I’m not taking up for him, but I’m praying for him. I will uphold him in the love of Christ. Because, Love covers a mulitude of sins. That includes yours and mine.

Now as for the conference, I will not exclude him for that. He has a right just as you and I do. to continue in whatever calling God has called him to do. I did HEAR from God on this and will not TURN BACK. God has called me an I’m Not ashamed of who I am in Christ.

If you know anything about the Prophetic Ministry. You would know that just because God shows you something about a person you don’t tell it. What you do is go into INTERCESSION, stand in the gap, build a hedge around them, and that is what I’m doing and will do. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it was right or worng because i want there. But I can Prayer as all of us should in this time for all Pulpits. It is the pulpits that Satan is after. Why, because it is the place where God pulls people out of the pit through his Word. That’s why it’s called a PUL- PIT

Do you remember the story of Noah when he got drunk, and fell asleep. His son Ham saw his nakedness and went told it the Bible said without. which means he went broadcasting it. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon their shoulders and walked in backwards so that they would not see their fathers nakedness Genesis 9:21-23. Now they took a natural garment to cover the nakedness of Noah.

But what I want you to Know is that I’m taking a spiritual garment over Pastor Allen which is prayer and intercession covring him and his family. May God Bless you and keep you.

I do hope you will come to the conference it will be a Great Event. In fact one of our Workshop Topics will be” How Intercessors Cover Leadership

Thank you

Prophetess Witherspoon

Lynn’s Response:   Isn’t it interesting how these people find excuses for the behavior of clergy who are in sin and how they put the blame on God by claiming that God is the one who told them to uplift the sinning, fallen pastors?

IF the accusations against “Pastor” Allen are true, he is not in a position to teach anyone anything until after he has repented, apologized, and been restored. Yet, he is being invited places and not being made to take responsibility for his actions. This is beyond pitiful and is a direct reason why we have so many rogues running loose in the Body of Christ abusing women and children.
