Knowing When, Where and How to Walk in Your calling 9-8-25

Many born again people do not know what their assignment (calling) is. Because of that they don’t understand what God is doing through others.


I pray that this message will open some eyes:  the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,  and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power  which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1:18-20).


From this post I pray that people will not judge what God is doing in someone’s life. How can a person judge what they don’t understand? The problem is, they think they are more mature and that stems from pride in baby Christians.


It is stated on my bio that the Lord has blessed me with a dual fold five fold Ministry office of prophetess, evangelist gifts for His glory and for others to be blessed by my service to them. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (2 Timothy 4:5).


This is different than the “Great Commission” that has been given to all of God’s people. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20)



The call (office) of evangelist has been graced (given the ability) to operate in signs, wonders, and miracles, as the Spirit imparts the power to function at certain times and place. The function of the five fold ministry prophet/prophetess is to warn, correct and protect; prophets are also intercessors.


All of God’s children are prophets by proclaiming the Word of God, and all of us are priests who intercede on behalf of others (1 Peter 2:9). The prophet/prophetess goes more deeply into intercession; and they are given dreams and visions. This is similar to the Old Testament prophets, where thee Spirit came upon them for a specific assignment. But the difference is the Spirit does not just come upon the New Testament prophets; He lives in us.


Note: Although the word prophetess is not in Ephesians 4:11, much is stated in the masculine gender, which includes both male and female.

Example: Philip, the evangelist daughters prophesied; I don’t know if they were prophetesses or they had the gift of prophecy (Acts 21:9). Whatever the case, this is the point; God uses and works through and in both male and female- “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, our old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also, on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days (Joel 2:28-29). Peter spoke of Joel prophecy in Acts 2:16-18).


Many times, I have been misunderstood, but that’s because some people are not open to certain gifts and it can also come from pride, especially when I’ve been sent to leaders, There are various reasons why they may not be open to a Word from the Lord because I’m a female; they may think they are above hearing from a commoner like me.


I have been in  church services and the speaker said: “Nobody has to tell him anything because the Lord speaks to Him. That is a lie; the Lord speaks to those who are out of line; the Spirit continues to convince them of their wrong, but they don’t listen.


I am here to say that the Lord spoke to and through a boy-  He used Samuel to warn Eli, the priest who never corrected his wicked sons (2 Samuel 2:12-36).He also spoke through a donkey (Numbers 22:22-38).


Therefore, the Lord will send mainly someone in the prophetic to give warning. The Lord speaks to us through His Word, through His Spirit and through people.


Jesus Teaches the Fear of God


“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.  And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows (Matthew 10:28-30).



I have grown to have the reverential fear of God and I do not fear anyone; that’s why I am being obedient to God and leaving all the consequences to Him [Quote by Charles Stanley].
