I do not believe that most ministers know what awaits them once they answer the divine call. When God commissioned us into ministry He did not call us into failure. You will find teachings and experiences in this blog. I welcome your opinions and thoughts concerning anything you find here. I do not know everything. When you explore my blogroll you will see that I have many diverse and seasoned streams feeding into my life.
I’m not much for arguing or debating…I like the idea of sharing thoughts, exploring opinions and discovering the truth. Can’t wait to hear your side of the story!

Pastor Bush,
Oh thank God for you…what a word, what a word, what a word!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. If I could Hi – five you I would!
Thanks again for sharing an awesome teaching! I will take heed, as well as share this with those who operate in the prophetic gift, but have rusty pipes that many around where I work have refused to drink. It’s embarrasing, but they won’t hear from me, because “they have a higher, stronger, deeper spirit of discernment and prophetic calling than me”, so they say… Thanks again!
I love you! Hope to see you soon..
Pat, it is so good to hear from you. It is my prayer that those “rusty pipes” will allow the washing of the Word of God to continue to cleanse them so that the Kingdom will not miss out on the precious gifts God has given to the church.
I will be in your area soon; will post the dates as they are confirmed. Look forward to seeing you!
Joanne, This is an excellent article – one which needs to be read, so I will forward
it to many prophets I know. Thanks.
Hi Dorothy. So good to hear from you. Thank you for your encouragement. Getting good and positive information into the hands of prophets is so important. They hear enough about how lousy they are. I really believe it is time for them to know it is possible to be fruitful and healthy. BTW you need to send me some of your articles you have written. I know you have much to say. Love you…Joanne
Bravo, magnificent idea
You are not right. I am assured. I can prove it. Write to me in PM, we will talk.
Radically the incorrect information
In my opinion you commit an error.
You obviously were mistaken
Thanks for writing, pleerbaza. I would love to be able to speak to your concerns if I only knew what they were.

I am a seer with prophetic gifts and I desire to learn more about developing my gifts so I don’t do things prematurely but according to receive guidance and direction from the holy spirit.
I Understand a lot of the insights that you shared as considerable information on your blog site pertaining to the office of the prophet as well as prophetic confusion that prophets deal with from time to which could bring discord to the body of christ.
I stumble across this blog site seeking and searching for more revelation of prophetic functions
Please pray for me to have a good spiritual covering and please pray that my broken heart be healed from sorrow by receiving the joy of the Lord. Please pray that every spirit that does not encourage growth are development be removed by the authority of the righteousness spirit of the Lord on my behalf.
AMEN
thank you

Shawn, I appreciate you writing and sharing your heart. That is not always an easy thing to do. I agree with you in prayer that God will put someone in your life who can disciple you and help you to grow into the purposes and plans that God has for your life. In your studies, I would suggest that you begin to study the person of the Holy Spirit. We should know the person that speaks to us…and since the Holy Spirit is the One we should know Him better than our own name. Forgive those who hurt you for there are few, including prophets, who understand the personality of the prophet and are oftentimes offended when they do not understand why.
The typical reaction is to withdraw into a “cave.” Avoid this if you can. I believe that God will bring the right people in your life for you to walk with and learn. You should ask the Lord to direct you to a good church if you do not currently belong to one. Notice I said “good church” not “perfect church.” When God directs you, know that there will be challenges…they are there to shape and mold you; not to harm you.
Stay in touch…Apostle Joanne
