Some Prophetic Words Should be Given Harshly


Sometimes God will tell a prophet to give someone a word of correction. It may even make you feel guilty for having to speak harshly to someone that may need to hear the truth. If you are feeling like you have to be direct with someone about an issue and if you see that they simply do not change, then it may be time to give them a corrective word harshly. Everything must be done out of love and for a purpose. However, some people don’t get the message unless you tell them something bluntly and directly to the point.

In our society, many young people have adopted the spirit of laziness. They don’t want to work and they don’t want to go to school. They simply just want to live off of society and say, “gimme, gimme, gimme.” They want to sit around while their Christian friends and parents are out working. This is something that needs correction. The Apostle said in the New Testament that we should not even associate ourselves with lazy people. It says that if a person does not work, then you should not let them eat either.

This is a true statement because many people will go through years and even a lifetime of not working and just sucking off of society for a free place to live and some food to eat. These people often have to get dealt with harshly. Many Christian parents try to handle this nicely by saying that, “Johnny will one day get a job or that he is trying, but not getting anywhere.” I can understand if this person was working and then got suddenly laid off or fired. That is a different story. I am talking about those that just refuse to work. Perhaps you know of someone that simply has a reputation of not wanting to work and putting guilt trips on others to take care of them. Don’t feel sorry for these people and don’t let them have a piece of bread because they are lazy.

First you should talk to them about getting a job. If they still refuse, then you should tell them with force that getting a job is a must or else you will disassociate yourself from them. The tougher you are on lazy people, the more they are prone to do what they are supposed to do. You don’t want to have to support someone for the rest of their life. Some lazy people are actually waiting for people to die around them in hopes to get an inheritance. They wait for that “magic day” where they can just roll in some cash and some money. This is not a good way to live and it certainly does not please God.

As prophets, you are called to be the spokesperson for God’s word. Most prophets are not liked because they often have to deal with people harshly. You must pray and ask God how you are supposed to deliver the prophetic word to that person. Some people simply will not listen. If they don’t listen, then it is not your fault. You have spoken the prophetic word and have done their job. Next, the person will face judgment from God in whatever way He chooses. God has the full authority over people and will deal with people harshly that disobey His word and who take care of innocent people. God will not let these kinds of people get away with their laziness forever. Eventually, God will deal with them.

If you are thinking of confronting someone today that is simply lazy, then I highly encourage you to do so. Pray about it first and then use your prophetic gifts.

Prophets are Not Supposed to Be Normal


In today’s world it is easy to be deceived. You have to learn how to separate what is of God and what is not of God. When you find your life’s passion, you will be able to do it well. God will be able to help you to find the direction that you need in your life no matter what you are doing. Let God build your ministry and allow Him to speak to your heart in all matters of the spirit. He may be leading you to something that is totally original and “new regime.” When God called me to be a prophet, He allowed me to work on the psychic hotline. I know that this is not a place where God puts His people usually. However, I found no way that the church would support me. I looked for prophetic ministries that may be able to provide for me. I was looking for any sort of material support. I would have even settled for $10,000 a year if it meant that I could be supported by a Christian congregation. However, the Christian church did not have anything set up like this.

I spent a lot of time alone with God in my growing up years and that allowed me to bond very close with God. I figured that God would be able to build my ministry on his own and in his own timing. He allowed me to wait until me as 31 years old to start my prophetic ministry professionally. He opened the doors for me. I was prepared for 30 years of my life before God launched me into full time ministry.

When I first got saved, I was happy just being a deciple of Jesus Christ. However, as the years went on, I felt a need to serve Jesus in a Church. I want to go into the ministry. I tried becoming a pastor first and that did not work for me. I was never a good student and reading is probably one of the hardest things that I can do. My lack of focus and concentration were hard for me to deal with. Instead of sitting back and doing nothing, I asked God to teach and show me what He had in store for me to do next. I decided to just allow God to show me step by step on how I was going to serve Him in the ministry.

It was no easy road for me. I attended seminary for only a year because I couldn’t maintain good grades. The seminary did not kick me out, but I decided to leave after receive two D grades. I knew that the seminary was not going to be cut out for me. I also knew that a college degree required 4 years of study. It was very hard for me to complete the tasks that God was giving to me because I kept on lacking in something.

When I look back at all of this now, I realize that my failures were really because God did not want me to do those other things. I tried for nearly 10 years to earn a bachelor’s degree and then I finally had to call it quits.

I started college when I was just 18 and I stopped attending college when I turned 32. I decided that it was time for me to move on and to do something else. I thought that I let God down and myself as well. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror because I felt like I was a failure and a looser. Boy was I wrong.

It wasn’t until I turned 34 that I realized that not everyone is cut out to read and to study. There was a time when the Holy Bible did not exist and people learned about God through prayer, priests and the testimonies of other people. I realized that if God was going to lead me to do something, than I had to allow Him to take charge of my life. All that I wanted was to have Him lead me closer and closer to Him. I wanted to let God into my life so that He could see just how much I was trying to serve him. I knew in my heart that I had to keep on striving.

If you believe that God has called you into the ministry and you just don’t “fit in” then it’s because God may be leading you to do something totally bizarre.

Instead of God putting me into someone else’s ministry, He decided to put me into my own ministry. Believe it or not, working on the psychic hotline is actually a great place for me. I get to make my own hours and talk to people in the way that I see it in my vision. I have these deep prophetic visions that I share with my clients and I like to just share my gift with others. God is my father and the master of what I do.

I of course wanted to work in a more traditional route, but God obviously had other plans for me. He wasn’t planning on me working for someone else. He wanted me to work for myself. In this way, I have more freedom to do what God wants me to do. God saw the leadership in me while nobody else did. He led me to what I am doing now and I must tell you that if you are trying to work in the prophetic realm, you must be willing to do whatever God wants you to do. Never think that your prophetic ministry is going to be “normal” like everyone else’s. I say this because prophets are “peculiar” people. Allow Jesus to lead you.

If you feel like a complete looser, then that is perfectly normal because most of us do anyways. Just remember God’s plan and His word. It will never fail and God is truly God. Always go back to him and remember that God is an awesome God!

Your Prophetic Life will Affect Millions


If you are being called into the prophetic ministry, then I must tell you that you are going to have to pay a huge price for your gift. I say this because prophets are people that are chosen by God to enter into the prophetic ministry. You were born to be a prophet and it will affect every area of your entire life for the rest of your life. No matter what you do or what you say, you are always going to be a prophet. You can avoid your calling or accept it. Either way, you are going to be a prophet. Prophets should know that their calling is going to affect millions of people’s lives worldwide at some point. Every person’s life that you touch will eventually touch another. You will never know completely just how much your life has impacted another person’s life.

It’s important to ask God to give you the wisdom that you are going to need in order to come to him on your own. The Lord has a great time explaining to us what his gifts and callings are. The more open that you are to learning about the prophetic ministry, the better off you will be in the long run. Just allow it to come to you on its own.

Is Your Prophetic Ministry on Track?


Do you want to be a famous prophet? Someone that is known for their prophetic words and insights? I must tell you that this is something that you have to shake from your spirit. Prophets should never wish to have fame for what they do. This is a clear sign of your own personal insecurities. You have to ask God to take this away from you. Allow your prophetic work to be done in private so that you don’t take credit for God’s work. All of what God does is for your own good and for the good of others. When you seek to be recognized for your prophetic words, you are actually forgetting that God is someone that you can talk to on your own. God has a lot to say about prophesy and we must try to stop hurting ourselves and instead give our hearts and our lives to Jesus more deeply.

When a prophet decides to take credit for their work, it causes a separation to come between you and God. You are in fact trying to take the glory in place of God and that is something that has to stop. If this sounds like you, then I suggest you ask God to help you to stop looking for fame and popularity. God knows you inside and out. He will reward you for your good deeds in time. You must make sure that you never give credit to yourself for anything that God is doing.

People rely on prophets for many different reasons. Some people may not even consider you to be a prophet and may even call you a phony or a lunatic. With maturity, you will learn that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about you. It’s only about what God thinks of you and that is all that should ever matter to you. Remember that God is always in charge and you have a great calling upon your life to be of service to others. You have to make sure that you understand your own prophetic calling so that you can fully help others.

In order for you to understand your own prophetic calling, you are going to have to walk with it step by step. God will reveal to you step by step what he wants you to do. When you are finally doing it, he will provide for your needs and give you the blessings that you need in order to fulfill your calling. You can help yourself by helping others to learn more about you and about your ministry. Ask God every day if you are on track with what He has in store for you. If you are not on track, then change your ways.

Prophetic Wisdom


If you are not sure how to be a prophet yet, then don’t worry. God will guide every step of the road. From my experience, the best thing that you can do is to remain in a close contact with God. If you feel that something is coming from you by God, then its best to just do it. You should test all spirits and all things to see if they are from God or not.

In order to be a seasoned prophet, you are going to have to prove to yourself that you are actually hearing from God. If God asks you to do something, then you should just do it and realize that god has a bigger plan in store for you. You have to do the right thing by asking God to go forward and to do the right thing for you. You have to be completely open to what God has in store for you. Some books that are written by prophets and they tell you about their prophetic ministry.

Not every prophetic ministry is going to involve a doom and gloom practice. Some prophets are actually called to help people. I am a prophetic minister and I mainly give prophetic words to people that are in need. I listen to their problems and I try to find solutions through my prophetic insights. I have been a practicing prophet now for over 4 years now professionally. I am called to do this because God will not allow me to do anything else. You know when you are called to do something if that one thing is the only thing that is working for you. However, you can try different things and by trial and error, you will understand what God is trying to say to you. In my life, I have experienced a lot of heartache because I tried to build my prophetic ministry on my own. If I can give anyone else out there advice, then I would say to have a lot of friends around you when trying to find your gifts. Not all of your friends are going to be honest with you. You have to let God tell you if you are a prophet or not. Most of all, read the Bible daily so that you will not get lost in the process of your calling. Some of my prophetic words were hard to give and some of them make you want to just sit in a corner and blush because you may have said something that you could not fully understand.

Not every prophetic word is going to make sense to you. Sometimes people listen to prophetic words for many different reasons. Just because you say a prophetic word and people don’t listen does not mean that you are doing something wrong. The main thing is to put the prophetic word out there and if someone wants to hear it, then they can. However, if they choose not to listen to it, then it is not your fault. People are allowed to make their own choices in life and you are not held responsible for their errors. Always try to do what is right by just asking God to guide you each and every step of the way.

Being Annointed with Prophetic Gifts


Are you anointed prophetically? If you are, then you are not alone. Many people in the world today feel a calling towards the prophetic. Some say that this is a sign of the end of times. Do you believe that?

I have been a prophet all of my life and I can tell you that the prophetic is an amazing gift. However, it has not always been an easy road for me to travel upon. You have to go through a lot of drama in order to become a prophet. Your life gets really messed up. The more that you think you have got the prophetic gift licked, the more you realize that you don’t. You will have to go through a lot of steps in order for you to run your prophetic gift the way that God wants it to be run. God often puts His prophets through many tests. The tests that are given to a prophet are not easy and often require a lot of time and sacrifice. You have to read the Holy Bible daily and also pray to God daily as well. You will be under constant “fire” until you have at last given into God and to the way that He wants things to be run.

The calling of a prophet actually is something that takes a lot of time and practice. Not every word will come to pass during your training. Part of a prophet’s training is getting the prophetic word wrong so that you can understand what God is meaning at another point. Nothing is ever set in stone. God will often give you a prophetic word and have you used it to help or correct another person that may be in need of hearing God’s word. When a prophet hears a word from the Lord, then its best for them to address the pastor of a church or the person that the word is to be given to. You must be mature in order to deliver a prophetic word. However, it takes time and repetition to get there. It will not happen to you overnight. Some people that feel a calling to the prophetic feel it because they want to be able to use the gift to help others that may be in need of a prophetic word as well. Just allow God to flow through you and to tell you what he thinks. God has a way with his words and sometimes we may not fully understand it. We have to take the words of God into prayer and ask Him exactly what He means. God will give you a lot of challenges from time to time. We have to be obedient to God in terms of what He wants us to do and go. We have to remain obedient to God when we expect things to go correctly. God must be at the center of all that you do.

The prophetic anointing can be challenging at times and sometimes you have to ask yourself if you are on track with God. Sometimes sin will prevent your inner spirit from doing exactly what God wants you to do. You have to always keep an open ear to what God wants and then you will see the many blessings flowing that God has in store. God will bless you in his own timing. He has the keys to the successes that you need within your own heart. He is the God of your ministry. Always remember that.

The Prophetic Annointing


The prophetic anointing is often put on a person that understands God and who has a relationship with God. A prophet is someone that God has called to be a prophet from their mother’s womb. Jeremiah was a prophet that God clearly told would be a prophet. He was told to him by God himself, that He was to become a prophet and actually was a prophet. The gifts and callings God are irrevocable. God clearly helps his people to grow with time. The stronger you are as a person, the more you will be able to do what God asks you to do. Being a prophet is no easy task and so many people in the world today may not fully understand the callings and gifts of a prophet.

If you are trying to understand your prophetic gift, then its best to just allow God to show you exactly what he is trying to lead you into. Don’t try to figure out how you are going to be a prophet if that is your calling. Let God direct your paths and keep you informed about your path in life. Sometimes people have to walk through the fire in order to find the results and the path that God would like to put them on. Walking with God is necessary if you are ever going to find your path completely.

God is going to take you through the fire for whatever reason. Whatever you are called to, God is going to give you the gifts to complete the mission and also the pain that it will take to get there. God corrects those whom He loves and He will not ever abandon or leave you. He is always going to be there. I love God with all of my heart and at times, I have not been very obedient to His word or His will. You have to really follow God completely in order to understand that you are not ever going to do everything that God requires of you. Of course, the goal for every believer should be to become a follower of Jesus and to imitate your life after His. Whatever we have built in this life materialistically cannot go with us at our death. Remember to store up your riches in heaven. This means that you should not worry about what you have here on earth. Let God take care of your needs on earth.

God has a bigger plan in store for you. He will provide for you each and every day. You can become an amazing prophet when you truly want to give your life to those that are in need of your care. As a prophet, you can really touch thousands of lives in different ways. Just remember that you are in charge of your own spiritual destiny.
