some difficult family situations. So growing up, I was doing a lot of hearing and seeing in the spirit, but it was after I was filled in the Holy Spirit that this was truly activated in my life. After this God started talking to me with more clarity and in more detail. He would warn me about little things and even potentially dangerous things. Like I’d hear from Him while I was driving that a deer was about to jump into the road, or while walking along a path that a snake was about to come out of some brush, so I was able to avoid these things. Now I was raised in a religious home, but my parents didn’t believe in the supernatural. So once I was saved, I found a church with a good pastor and the pastor’s wife in particular, was instrumental in helping me to develope my prophetic gift and provide direction for my life. She was the perfect person for God to bring into my life at that time. During this time, one of the things that helped me to grow the most was attending prayer meetings. These weekly prayer meetings made in big difference in helping me to hear God as I had seasoned people around me, to help discern and confirm the things I was seeing and hearing were from God. Hearing God’s voice is and continues to be the highest priority. I’ve learned to be obedient and to go away with God at the slightest nudge. Sometimes I might be enjoying time with family and God will show me someone’s face and I’ll step away as I start sobbing and interceding for them. Besides experiencing God’s love, I have such a hunger for lost souls. I truly want to see people filled with the Holy Spirit and to help people to have a more intimate relationship with God. I want to see people being activated by the Holy Spirit and with the gifts they were meant to use on this Earth. Because that’s what a person needs to be able to complete their destiny. I’ve found that often it doesn’t matter who prays for you or how elegant the prayer is, but what really counts is if God is speaking to you. Because that raises the bar, it brings you to a different zone as you’re more apt to obey. Hearing His voice brings an understanding and a knowing to you that can’t be broken by anyone. And this is what I love helping people to do. To be able to have real encounters with the voice of God. Now as real and powerful as God has been in my life, I do know what it’s like to suffer and be so broken you wonder how you’ll go on another day. There was a time that I didn’t think I was worthy of God’s love. But I want people to be able to learn from my mistakes. It was after I was saved that I was tempted very strongly by the devil. And during this time I messed up and I really fell. But even while I was failing during this time, He was still training me, He was still faithful to me and He continued to pursue me. Even though I wasn’t being faithful to Him, He was still coming after me. And this is what amazing and extravagant love is all about. Even during this season of a lot of pain and shame in my life, God was still loving me and training me. And another part of my struggle was that God had called me early on in life. He had called me as a prophet to the nations with many wonderful confirmations including seeing oil physically on my hands and having Rhinehard Bonnke and others confirm my calling as well. The challenge was that I didn’t understand a lot of this and no one around me really understood these things so I kept trying to run ahead and then would get knocked down. The problem was that I was looking ahead rather than looking at today. I was trying to grab for things that weren’t mine yet. The ‘when’ was something I really struggled with and I was often asking God, “when is this going to happen?”

So between my own bad choices that led me into some dark places, as well as trying to reach ahead for things that God had spoken and confirmed to me, I found myself in a very difficult place. Those feelings of “how do I go on another day” were all too real to me. But it was through the prophetic voice of another person that I was able to come up out of this dark place. What’s amazing is this person didn’t even know me! But this person reached down into my soul and pulled up the hope that I needed. And when hope came up on the inside of me, that changed me. And this person spoke a very powerful word about who God made me to be. The words for so real and so powerful to me that it felt like I had been struck in the head with a hammer. I KNEW from that point on that I was called and that I was worthy. So I learned a lot through getting knocked off and getting knocked down. One of the powerful things that God taught me is how to see people differently. Because I learned that just because someone gets knocked down, it doesn’t mean they don’t love God. And this is how I learned to love the church and God’s people and to see them from His point of view. Because God showed me how He saw me when I was knocked down. And so even if someone is in a hard place, or maybe they’re stuck in some sin, God has given me the ability to see them with His eyes of love and compassion. But beyond the hard times that my own wrong decisions brought me to, I also know what it’s like to be kicked and mistreated Here again, the solution is to see people from God’s eyes and not your own. So when I speak to someone, I speak to them from God’s perspective and God’s eyes. I never judge anyone. There’s no condemnation and no judgement from me. No matter who they are or what they’ve done. And everything is perfectly confidential. What’s most important to me in life is to passionately pursue God with all that I have. But right after that is to see God’s church and God’s people truly free. A Little Bit About How I Hear, See and My Encounters with God

Now when I’m hearing God for others, I will literally see everything about a person, even to the point of seeing their countenance change. God will open a person up like a book to me so I can see things from their childhood. Most of the time I also see or feel angels. Sometimes I’ll see them with my physical eyes and sometimes it’s with my spiritual eyes and I’ll just know they’re there. If I’m speaking face to face with someone it’s easy for me to see their angels. And when I look at a person I’ll see them in layers very clearly. And each of their layers will have a color. It will be like the way a basket is woven together, I’ll see all these different layers of color woven together. The colors are also very much alive and specific to each person. So for one person green may mean one thing while to another person green may mean something else. It’s very different for each person but when I look at someone in the spirit, I know what each color means for that person. When I look into Heaven now I see a panoramic view. It didn’t start out that way, but it has developed to the point now where I can look around in Heaven and see what’s happening to my left or right. There have been times when I’ve been translated, where I was not in my room. I was somewhere else, like this one time I was taken to an ocean and I could actually feel the sand between my toes. I could see and hear people talking and I could see them looking at me. Soon afterwards I was back in my room. This has happened several times. But as strong as my gifting is to be able to hear and see things from God for someone, I can only see as far as a person allows me. People may not realize this but you can actually influence how much someone sees prophetically. To some degree, God is not going to go against a person’s will if they don’t want someone seeing something in particular about their life. Now if you’re on the ledge so to speak and about ready to jump, even though you may not want someone to see that, God may still allow someone like me to see that so that you myself or someone else can help you back up away from that ledge (or whatever it might be). The most important thing I can tell you is to see and hear for yourself. God wants to speak to you more than anyone else for you! Practice with Jesus so that you don’t need to hear another voice speak for you.
