1. What role does love play in the operation of the prophetic giftings in today's society?

The role of Love is first and foremost to be able to do anything in Ministry/Prophetic. If you don't love, where will compassion and sensitivity play a part in your connecting to The Holy Spirit, Listening to the Voice of God, Ministering to others and more? This is very important to the operation of the Prophetic giftings, period!. Let alone today's society. Today, we need it more.

2. Name three ways that God communicates with his creation?

The three ways that God communicates with Creation are: (being in the education field, I can answer several ways): There are: 1) Audiologically;
2) Visually; and 3) Tactile ( via touch). Then there are 1) Naturally; 2) Spiritually; 3) Soulishly.

3. Do you believe you are a prophet? If so, why?

I believe that I have Prophetic giftings. Am I a Prophet? That would be determined by my Pastoral/Prophetic Leadership. I'm often reminded by one of the Prophets who says" I know when I'm around those like me. I know my own people". I know that I have always been different from childhood until now. Over the years, I have and am continuing to grow.

4. Do you have an active relationship with the Lord?

Yes, I am proud to say that I have an Active " Relationship" with The Lord. I love sitting down in quiet and talking to God. I Love talking with The Holy Spirit and getting lost in His presence. I love that Jesus Christ died for me so that I can have this relationship. I'm lost without Him.

5. How important is the Word of God in your everyday life?

If I start my day in prayer and reading my Word, then I know that the day is already alright. If I run into my day without time in the presence of God, I'm off balance, things go out of order in my day, I'm cranky and anxious. I prioritize getting in my Word at 4:30 am before I start my day. It's not really hard. It's my lifestyle.

6. What does the scripture in Romans 11:25 - 36 mean to you? Also, specifically, share what verse 29 means to you?

Romans 11:25-36 means to me that God in His mercy, love and grace has given us the blessing of Salvation through the death burial and resurrection of His Son, and has in that placed giftings and talents inside of each of us that are useable to His Glory. That He will never withdraw from us. Even when we were non believers, He saw us in our finished, saved state. God winks at our ignorance, but, see the big picture of our end for His purpose. That purpose is that all be saved and none perish.

Specifically verse 29 means no matter what, God has already placed in us giftings since the foundation of the world and He will never take them back. It is up to us to find out what those are. We have to seek His face to find out How He wants to use us for His glory.

7. What can you learn from the story of Baalim the prophet in Numbers 22?

No matter what is offered to you, Only say what God tells you to say! Bottom Line! No more or no less.

8. What training have you had in the prophetic?

I have been able to take several Prophetic classes through Liberty University and attend several Prophetic Seminars under the watchful eye of My Apostle ( Sheraine Lathon) and classes with her to gleen firsthand of the protocol of the Prophetic. Also, under the training of the Senior Prophets of Liberty Temple Full Gospel Church- Chicago.

9. Do you have any formal educational training, or ordinations for ministry?

Humbly, I was ordained as a Deaconess Elect. Then Deaconess. Now an Evangelist-Elect.

10. On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being the best, how would you rate your prayer life?

My Prayer Life could always use improvement. I always can learn more. I would rate it now at an 7/8. I'm growing in praying the Word of God with more confidence.

11. What are the "deep things of God" the bible refers to?

The "Deep things of God" to me are when we dig to hear what God is saying to us by searching His scriptures. How we grow spiritually, to rightly divide the Word or explain it without our own taint to it.

12.What is the difference between a dimension and a realm?

A realm is a range or field of control, power, or other concentration of mastery and/or authority. Empires and Kingdoms are realms.

Dimensions are beliefs and values that give meaning and purpose to our lives.

13. According to the old testament, what are the seven spirits of God?

The seven spirits of God, via the Old Testament are found in Isaiah 11: 2. They are 1) The Spirit of The Lord; 2) The Spirit of Wisdom; 3) The Spirit of underrstanding; 4) The Spirit of Counsel; 5) The Spirit of Might; 6) The Spirit of Knowledge; and 7) The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord.

14. Please share one area of your life that God has dealt with you about concerning your character.

Recently, that I need to listen more and not readily have an answer before hearing the whole issue. Be slow to speak and quick to hear.

15. How has God dealt with you concerning the heart of God, the will of God and your purpose in God?

The Heart of God- I have always wanted His Heart. But, I would get hurt and wounded and say that this is too much. This is a big pill to swallow. I'm still growing in this area.

The Will of God- I sit on the side of my bed in silence many times, in tears, asking God to let me know that I am hearing Him regarding being in His Perfect Will for my life. I'm getting older and don't have a lot of time to play with the things of God. I hunger to know that I'm hearing His voice and doing the right thing in the right timing.

My purpose in God unfolds daily. As long as I communicate with Him and allow Him to move me the way He wants, even when I don't understand what is happening or why, I am fulfilling my purpose in Him. I know that I am destined to be an extension of His hand, love, mercy and grace. I try to do that. I make soooo many mistakes, but, at least I'm not where I use to be.
