As a young girl, I remember dreaming that my paternal grandfather died. Imagine my surprise
when the very next day, my older brother
told me THAT had happened! I immediately thought he was playing around.
That wasn't so, on this day.


Back then, I may have secretly shared it with my brother who
was just a year older than me,
but I know I didn't share it with
anyone
else. After all, that in itself seemed
to be a bit strange to me. As a matter of fact, for a while it was quite
terrifying.


Yet, it is a dream and occurrence that I've kept for a long
time, most likely because I always give this happening as an indicator
of the
start of my prophetic journey.


I always KNEW, I seemed to know things before they happened
or even as a young girl I remember prayer being an outlet for me that I
cherished early on.


Then later, as my dream and vision life seemed to open up to me in whole new ways, I realized that not everyone had such
vibrant and
reality-filled sleep lives. Nor did
everyone else seem to intuitively know what was going on in others'
lives, why
and what solution would solve the issue.

When the movie "The Sixth Sense" came out
and the child star uttered "I see dead people", though spooky to many, I
found it a bit interesting. Not because I see dead people, BUT rather
because the spiritual realm that is NOT seen by most, is so very REAL to
me. (side note: in my neck of the woods, seeing dead people like that is
equated to seeing Satan's counterparts)


By 2000, as God began to awaken the prophetic inside of me,
I noticed the dreams and vision escalated day after day. As I documented
my
dreams in journ
als, I also realized that I dreamed quite a bit
about the church
I attended. Then when I would type them up, all of a sudden, I would
also seem
to have revelation regarding what seemed to be metaphoric happenings.


By this time, many leaders in the Charismatic faith, with
whom I hung out with had already
labeled me a prophet, yet I was
still quite
blurry on what "being a prophet" really meant.
Every time I got the opportunity, I tried to learn as much as I
could
about the true DNA of a prophet. Then,
after giving a stack of dreams and interpretations to my
then Pastor, I knew
that INDEED what others were calling me must be somewhat true, as he
instructed
me to study the book of Daniel.


Fast forward roughly 10 years and here I am an ordained
Prophet, quite clear on whom I am
in the Kingdom and even clearer
now on what
it will take to accomplish everything that God has summoned me to
do.Thanks in part to those who nurtured me along the way and most
recently due to the (PAQ) Prophetic Aptitude
Questionnaire (which is kind of like an I.Q. for prophets)


I thank God for people like Bishop Joseph Walker III whose scholastic aptitude and
ginger
pushing
caused me to realize how I fit in the church and in the marketplace, for
Apostles like Ardell & Kim Daniels, who's mantle and ministry
literally
thrust me into the "deeper things of God" and taught me how to be ready
in-season and out for ANYTHING, and for Apostles like B. Dwayne Hardin,
who
ALWAYS had a place for me on the prophetic
presbytery that in-turn was the iron
that helped sharpen this prophetic tool.


I also thank God for my prophetic counterparts like Prophets
like Karen Guice whose teaching
mantle, I honor and admire and
for Prophets
like Michelle McClain, whose fiery prophetic
words puts you in awe. And for D'Andrea & Ricky
Thomas, who truly
helped me understand that the level of trials and tribulations that most
Prophets endure, really isn't personal, but more providential.


Now, as I transition to that next level, with more and more
Prophets-In-Training coming to me
and being attracted to the
results of the
call of God on my life and the manifestation
that comes when one finally learns
how to comfortably fit into The Prophet's Shoes, with confidence, which
coincidentally, has way more to do with than "just prophecy", I
stop and just say "WOW!"


I am utterly amazed!


My Apostolic Covering and Prophetic Mentor, Dr. Paula Price(Prophet's Dictionary & Prophet's Handbook) always says, "When
the
STUDENT is ready, the TEACHER will appear"
As I look back over my prophetic
journey up until this point, I see how
true that is. From level to level, when I've been ready to transcend
into that
next dimension of the Prophetic Office, God has
made sure I connect with the
right DIVINE teacher.


I see that happening with those I mentor as well.


Now as I help others sort through questions like:


How do I know if I'm called to be a prophet?


How do I nurture the prophetic gift on the inside of me?


What qualifies one to say they are seasoned in the
Prophetic?


What if my Pastor doesn't believe in Prophets?


What if the prophetic isn't operating in my home church?


Why hasn't my prophecy come to past?


I am so incredibly thankful for the Prophetic tools and
resources God has allowed me to use
and birth. I am particularly
impressed with
and am a 100% advocate of The Prophetic Aptitude
Questionnaire, a
patent-pending ministry assessment tool, developed by Dr. Price.


Though there is a ministry aptitude assessment for every
5-fold gift,
whether your concentration is in the church or the
marketplace, I
want to just explain how much the Prophetic
Aptitude Questionnaire, has opened
my life up to divine answers and direct
strategies regarding the rest of My
Prophetic Journey that
lies ahead.
Without a doubt, I am sure these assessments came from the
throne-room
of heaven so that all ministers and lay ministers of the Kingdom can
have clear
instruction regarding who they are and where they flourish best in and
FOR the
Kingdom.


It's all about your FRUIT.


Last but not least, I'm so glad that during this transition to
my NEXT level God has assigned and positioned me
with 2 great Pastors; One,
being Bishop Rudolph McKissick Jr. who accepts the mantle and allows the
fruit
of my combined ministries to qualify.


If you're unclear about exactly who you are in the kingdom,
are any kind of Minister In Training
or Prophet In Training or
even if you're an Apostle or
Pastor who needs to make you know to what extent those around you are qualified to help
bring your
God given VISION to past, I highly
recommend examining these Ministry Assessments.


As always, if you you have questions call me direct at
877.595.9117 ext 3
or if you KNOW you need them and are ready to
move forward,
go here to take the QUALIFIER. It will let you know
WHICH assessment is best for you.


Your life won't be the same!
