The Joys Of Prophecy

By Oily Puff


Many men and women in the world today feel the call to use their prophetic gifts. These gifts often help people to see a glimpse into their own lives for various reasons. Most people have used my spiritual gifts to tell them more about their love lives. Many people that called me were often hurting and in need of answers. I was their shoulder to cry on.

I was raised in a Catholic home. However, we didn't read the Holy Bible much. I had an interest in God from as early as I can remember. I used to pray that everything in my life would turn out to be okay. As I began to hit my teenage years, I started to explore my faith more deeply. I began reading the Holy Bible on a regular basis.

Spiritual books helped to bring out my knowledge in the area of getting closer to God. However, the closer that I got to God, the more prophetic I started becoming. I began to feel as though I could receive messages for people that were supposed to receive them. I learned very early on in my life that people often could not hear from God on their own.

Many people today have dreams of doing something with their life. They want to show that they have love to offer and a lot of information to give out to people. I know that spiritual topics are often hard to discuss. When you look back at your life, you often see happiness and pain at the same time. Most people say that prophets go through "hell" before being launched into their ministry. I can honestly say that this is true.

As this side of me grew, I knew that I was destined to help people for a living prophetically. However, how could I do this if I did not have any means to support myself? I did not come a from a wealthy family. I had to find a way to support myself. As time went on, Jesus gave me ways of surviving.

Being a prophet in the 21st century is draining and often exhausting. Most of the people that you read for are not at all spiritual. They live lives of lies and deception. They often want to be involved romantically with someone that doesn't want them. These are people from all walks of life.

If you feel called to be a prophetic minister today, it is a true blessing. However, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Learn to do your ministry and have another career on the side. I wish that I could have had two careers in my life. One being a secular job and another one being a side ministry position.

As I look back on my life, I realize that I spend around 10 years giving prophetic words to people full time. I am now onto the next chapter of my life and I don't feel the calling to use my prophetic gifts any longer. I realize that we often change and grow with our gifts over time.
