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

We should be doing everything out of love. Especially when exercising the prophetic gift. Jesus said that the second greatest commandment was for us to love our neighbour as ourselves, and that one along with the first upholds (or hang as the bible put it) all the law and the prophets.

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

Dreams, Visions, and talking directly

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

I don't know if God has called me to be a Prophet. However, I do know that I can operate in the gift of prophecy.

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

Yes I do.

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

David put it like this... Thy word do I hide in my heart, that I might not sin against you. The word of God is one of the very expression of God. It is the revealed word, the expressed word, and the inspired word. The bible describe itself as a light unto my path, and a light unto my feet. The word of God can guide you, keep you, protect you while you sleep, instruct you, feed you, open up doors for you, unlock things, remove things, cut things from your life, alter things, judge, empower you, sustain you, give you wisdom, and allow wealth to flow into your life. It helps you fight, keeps your mind, and teaches you the weapons you have at your hands.

In short its more important than even the air we breath, because God also gave that.

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

In order to really get the meaning from these scriptures, you really have to understand the mystery explained in the previous verses. So the meaning to me is that God is merciful. Although many of the children of Israel became enemies of Jesus and ultimately God, He still yet loved them because he choose them. The gifts that God gives are given in love. So he doesn't take back the gifts he gave or He doesn't take back Him wanting us to be part of the kingdom. The scriptures go on to say that he basically caused everyone to be gripped with disobedience just so we can all experience his mercy.

In this particular passage, this mystery was being revealed to the Gentiles that just because salvation was opened up to you by way of the disobedience of the children of Isreal, doesn't mean you should think you are all of that. This too is part of the plan of God to get everyone to see that God's gifts and blessings are great, and how much more will his gifts can call be if we fully trust and accept Him.

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

DON'T MAKE GOD ANGRY!!!

We do this a lot with God. Balaam consulted God about something and God said no don't do it. But when Balaam was approached about it again he went back to God as if the answer would change. He should instead have just sent them on their way and told them not to come back. After God said look just go with them but just do what I tell you to, he wasn't sensitive enough to understand that God was blocking his path because God didn't want him to go. After discovering that the Angel of the Lord was blocking his path, he says to the Angel, well if you don't want me to go then I won't. It is almost as if he just actually wants to go. The Angel didn't just come to block his way just because he wanted him to go. So the question that Balaam asked didn't really make sense because he already knew God's first response when he first brought it to God.

Overall what I got from this is to listen to the first thing God said to us and obey that. The second thing is we need to be sensitive to God and what he is trying to do. Balaam was more concerned about how the donkey made him look than the reason of why the donkey acted like that in the first place. So much so that the donkey said, have I ever done this before? When people act out of character, or things aren't going the way we know they should go, we should consider that just maybe God is not happy with the path we are going down.

8. What training have you had in the prophetic?

I've been in Apostle Lathon's prophetic class when I was younger. I also have taken some prophetic classes that the church had.

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

No. Nothing outside of Liberty

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

6

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

There are realms and levels of glory in God. There are depths of revelation and understanding in God. I believe that is what it is referring to.

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

Dimensions are levels within a realm. and realms hold dimensions.

realm is a building and dimension are levels of a building

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

1. The Spirit of the Lord
2. The Spirit of wisdom
3. The Spirit of understanding
4. The Spirit of counsel
5. The Spirit of might
6. The Spirit of knowledge
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.

Being and staying humble

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

Heart of God

He has dealt with me concerning the heart of God when it comes to what His people do concerning him. Hebrews 3:10 was the scripture he used. We must not turn ours hearts away from him and we must obey him and do what he tells us to do.

The will of God

God has been dealing with me concerning his will specifically in my life. Simply put, He wants me to follow the path He has laid out for me.

Purpose in God

I believe we have a purpose for each season we are in. and each of the levels God allows us to progress through is one step closer for us to fulfill the call or destiny He has called us to. The way he deals with me concerning this is revealing a piece at a time, and reminding me to trust him for the rest. Only he has the full plan, and it up to me to seek it out so that I can get the pieces He wants to give.
