Do You Feel Called To Be A Prophet?

By Lawrence Ray


As I sit back and remember my childhood, I can always remember feeling different. Something inside of me wanted to become something great. I always had a spiritual side even before becoming a born again Christian. I can honestly say that my parents had no influence over my religious beliefs.

It is hard to say if I did anything to make myself prophetic. All that I know is that I always had this feeling inside of my heart to help people prophetically. It took years for me to perfect my prophetic abilities. I learned early on in my life that prophetic gifts grow in you with time. It is a hard life lesson to master.

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.

I always knew that I wanted to be in the ministry. I tried different aspects to Include: pastoral, evangelism and senior citizen ministries. None of those seemed to fulfill me like prophecy did. I knew inside of my heart that this is what God had in store for me.

Most prophets work on psychic hotlines today. Not many churches take care of prophetic ministers. If you feel called to give a prophecy to someone, make sure that you do it with love. If you read for to many people, you may start becoming angry and frustrated with your role as a prophet.
