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!
