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

Love is a major part in both the prophetic giftings and in life. Even more so in the prophetic, because you want to always encourage and edify the people you are talking to. Love is like honey to a bee it draws you to the nectar (word). it's like a magnet that draws hard metal to it. It alone can help break up the hardened ground of some people's heart. The role of the prophetic giftings is to build up and not tear down. Today's society needs love like never before because of the many issues that people have today. Low self esteem, suicidal thoughts, shame, homeless, pride. some have a feeling of being less than because of identity confusion but because of God's love seen in our giftings people can see that they can become more than conquerors and realize that we ALL are wonderfully and beautifully made, Regardless of what others say. God's love is what holds us together and builds us up. God's love must be evidenced in our life in what we say and do with others. Therefore, people must see God's love working through the prophetic giftings to be effective in drawing others to Christ and in our life.

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

We can audibly hear the voice of God-He speaks directly to your heart
He speaks through Dreams- He speaks to you through dreams at night

He speaks thru Visions--which can be visualized while awoke,

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

Yes,
Recently, I heard God say Prophet Arise to me and years ago Apostle Turner told me i was but i didn't want to believe it at that time.

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

Yes, I hear his voice and I'm working on responding right away. I study, pray and sometimes fast.

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

Very important, sometimes i can just open up the bible and it will be on a page that i need for that moment in my life. it either gives me direction, correction or encouragement.

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

These verses refer to the day of awakening where spiritual blinders were being removed from some Gentiles, Some Israelites remained hard hearted and didn't believe in Jesus as their deliverer ,or Lord and Savior. Yet Other (remnant) Jews came into the knowledge of Jesus as Lord and Savior because of God's grace and mercy.

verse 29:
Our lives were predestined before time. Therefore God knows what gifts you will have while here on earth. Because he loves us he gives us the choice to choose salvation and eternal life with him or not. If you do not choose him, he doesn't take away the gifts he bestowed upon you. However, the gifts were given to encourage and edify his people. Yet some who are gifted use their gifts for fame, or evil, and/ or fortune as psychics or witches.
Ex. Ms. Cleo who was later put in jail. Apostle Turner often said , why didn't you see that coming? I believe how you use your gifts will help judged.

This is making reference to the day of awakening of some Jewish people ( the spiritual blinders were removed) as well as Gentiles into the knowledge of Jesus as Savior. Other Jews were hard hearted and preferred not to become believers. Mostly, it shows God's love and mercy for us in leaving a remnant of Jews to continue on. Why? because he wants both Jew & Gentile to come into the knowledge of who he is. And to be one family under God listening, being taught and led by the Holy Spirit while here on earth.

For the gifts and calling are without repentance. God loves all of us but he hates sin. Before the beginning of time, we were predestined with a purpose and gifts. It is and was our choice to choose Jesus as our Lord and Savior and to use our gifts for kingdom building. However, there are those who chose not to accept him as Lord and Savior but he didn't take back the gifts he put inside of you. That is why we had/have psychics, & witches. They have prophetic gifts but choose to use it for money, evil & fame and some were so greedy that they ended up in jail. Example Cleo. As Apostle Turner once said, Why didn't she see that coming. The main problem with all of this is that these gifts were not used for kingdom building but personal gain.
In conclusion, how you use your giftings helps to determine what will happen in the end of your time on this earth realm.

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

Obedience is better than sacrifice. We can't compromise. We must do and say all that God wants us to do and say & when he says it. Our desires for fame, fortune must take a back seat when God tells us to do something.

Baalim only told the men of Baalak that he couldn't come with them but he didn't tell them the rest of what God told him. That he couldn't curse Israel for they are blessed and by no means be cursed. By him not telling the whole truth, led to an open door for Baalak to come back to seduce him with honor, prestige.
Baalim almost lost his life because of disobedience (going with Baalak's men) but God's mercy allowed the mule to talk and stop to protect him from sudden death.

8. What training have you had in the prophetic?

I've attended the training given here at Liberty

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

I am a minister and elder at Liberty.

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

6-8

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

The Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God to us. The deep things of God involve the redemption, salvation/Jesus story. Had they known who he was they would not have crucified him. In the beginning this was a mystery to most and God only spoke through his prophets as the Spirit led them. After salvation, the Holy Spirit was to search & reveal the deep things of God to man. The deep things of God involve his wisdom and not worldly wisdom, revelation of the word, personal gifts , prophecies and much more.

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

A realm is a kingdom/ or region in which God's will is fulfilled. The Spirit realm is often considered the 3rd heaven where God dwells. we live in the earth realm (PHYSICAL REALM)

Dimension- a position in space and time. God is omnipresent, God is in us,

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.

He is teaching me to have more patience by the things that i go through.

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

He has shown me that he is a loving God by the things that he has done for me and my family, and i learned that when my will lines up with his will for me that things go better and its better to let his purpose for me overrule what i think I should be doing.
