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

The prophetic gift operates through pure love — the love of God. People need to know the love of God as He speaks through His vessels.

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

I need to learn this. I would say through:

1) Nature
2) Calamity??
3) ??

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

I believe I have the gift of faith (yes I’ve taken the gift test) and as an evangelist, I’m an encourager. I often speak into the lives of others to encourage them in their faith in God. I’m not afraid to speak to people I don’t know as I’m led by the Holy Spirit.

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

Yes I do. My relationship with the Lord means everything to me.

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

I love the Word of God - God’s Word speaks to me every day. Making quiet time in the morning is especially important because I can enter into His presence before starting my day. My challenge is the distractions (my pets)!

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

God’s gifts and calling are without repentance— under full warranty; never cancelled and never rescinded. When God calls you to something he doesn’t change His mind.

I know the prophetic is in me and I have been running from it because I was not confident; but it’s time now. I know what God has put in me and the sphere of influence that I have especially in the financial marketplace (it’s where God put me) for His purpose. I’m not running anymore. It’s not about me, it’s about the love God wants to show to people of financial influence. Here I am Lord. Use me.

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

Not to move out of the flesh. When God closes a door (or opens a door), know that it’s for a purpose — for His purpose. God will show us time and time again but if we are not sensitive to the Holy Ghost, we will miss it every time.

8. What training have you had in the prophetic?

I have had a little training in activation — Speaking what the Holy Ghost shows me about someone. It may only be one word and speaking that small impression to someone.

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

Yes I hav had both - formal educational training as well as ministerial development at Liberty for over 30 years in ministry. My formal training consists of 2 earned masters degrees - one is Biblical Studies from Friends University (an affiliate of Liberty) and the other in Adult Education from NLU. I also took a doctoral course in Educational Leadership but fell short of graduating with the Ed.D. and ended with the Ed.S. in 2017.
I’m an ordained minister of the Gospel from Liberty Temple in 1991 and took all the Logos courses as well as all classes taught by Apostle Clifford Turner. I’ve had one prophetic course with Apostle Lathan in the 90’s as well as a Homiletics and Hermeneutics course.

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

I would rate my prayer life as a 6. I talk to God throughout the day but my desire is to make the time without distractions to pray. Although I have my time with God in the morning, it’s often met with distractions (animals scratching at the door or getting ready for a morning zoom call or going in to the office). My prayer life needs to be better.

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

I want to know the secret things of God and the deep things of God.

Understanding the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is the beginning of the deep things of God.

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

I don’t know this answer but I want to know.
This answer on the 3 dimensions is from Google.

A relational dimension (Christ with us) *
A transformational dimension (Christ in us),
and
A vocational dimension (Christ through us

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

The Seven Spirits of God include:
Spirit of the Lord, and the Spirit of wisdom, of understanding, of counsel, of might, of knowledge and of fear of the LORD,

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

Consistency and discipline. God has put military people in my life — all my life to teach me and show me what true discipline and consistency looks like. (My dad, ex-husband’s sister, Apostle C E Turner, my Financial Coach and my husband). They are all military and are all consistent and disciplined. This is what God deals with me about every day. I get it.

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

God shows me his heart by his love for me and his love for others. How will they know Him unless someone (I) share(s)His Love (in action as well as in prayer). The will of God to me is God opening up doors for me to walk through with His guidance to fulfill His purpose for bringing me to the earth “for such a time as this.”
