Christians have no choice: We must press forward for the mission of the gospel.
In a powerful message, Jenny Weaver delivered a warning she believes the church can’t afford to ignore: “There’s poison in the pot.”
Preaching from Elisha’s miracle in 2 Kings 4:38–41, Weaver said the passage is more than an Old Testament story—it’s a prophetic picture of what’s happening in the body of Christ right now.
Weaver’s message begins with Gilgal, where “there was famine in the land.” But she emphasized Gilgal wasn’t just any location—it was a covenant place. “Gilgal represents consecration… cutting of the flesh… covenant,” she said, calling believers to stop treating commitment like a “pinky promise.” In a time of spiritual drought, she argued, God is calling His people back to stability: “Covenant people are not flip-floppy type of people… they’ll be planted… they’re here in this season… in the bad season, they’re here.”
Then she pointed to the “sons of the prophets,” who positioned themselves correctly rather than withdrawing when things got difficult. “When famine hits… instead of pulling back, you must press forward,” she said, warning that emotional famine often produces spiritual compromise.

From there, she highlighted a critical detail: a company of prophets was together—until “one went out… all on their own.” She called it modern-day individualism—leaving accountability to gather “revelation” from untamed sources.
The danger, she said, is that the “wild gourds” looked legitimate. “It smells like a squash, looks like a squash… but… it’s poison,” she warned, likening it to voices that appear Christian but carry spiritual contamination. “They’re looking saved… looking like they’re on fire… but what they have inside of them is poison.” That’s why she believes discernment must increase: “Discernment in the body of Christ must increase.”
Weaver pointed out that when the prophets tasted the stew, the crisis became clear: “Man of God, there is death in the pot.” She noted they didn’t gossip—they went to leadership. “They went to leadership,” she said, arguing that healthy spiritual covering matters in times of confusion.
But the miracle came through a simple solution. Elisha called for flour, which Weaver interpreted as the Word of God—Christ Himself. “You want to get the poison out… you got to throw the Word at it,” she declared.
Her warning was urgent: “You will not be able to be fooled by a false prophet if you know the Bible for real.” And her prescription was practical—stop dabbling, start devouring Scripture: “You need to be devouring chapters and books at this point.”
Ultimately, Weaver believes God is drawing a line to purify His people. She warns that in this season, believers must choose truth over mixture and return fully to the authority of God’s Word. Those who do will be equipped to stand strong as spiritual deception increases.
