Frequency Asked Questions

Why Do I Need Ordination Papers and Ministerial Licenses?

Q: Don’t I need to go to school and earn a degree in theology to become ordained?

A: No. There is a difference between a degree in theology and becoming ordained as a minister. A theology degree is an academic certification, generally requiring anywhere from 2 to 10 years of university study to obtain. Academically, a degree in theology is considered the same as a degree in philosophy and is generally required if you wanted to teach religion at a university level.

Ordination simply requires a demonstration of your commitment to the Church and is provided as an acknowledgment of the Church’s recognition of your commitment. All 50 states accept ordination to perform religious ceremonies, including weddings.

Q: Will I be authorized to perform weddings in my state?
A: Yes. Your Minister Ordination Certificate fulfills the spiritual requirement to officiate weddings in all 50 US states.

Q: I have lived a life of sin. Am I still eligible to become a minister?

A: Yes. We are all sinners and God knows that. However, before becoming a minister, you must pray for forgiveness for all your past sins.

Q: Can I start my own congregation once I become an official ordained Minister under Prophetic Ministries Tabernacle?
A: Yes, This is the reasons we have been led by the Holy Spirit to establish this program so that anyone who is called can receive the help needed gathering up a congregation.

Q: Will I be able to collect offerings from my congregation?
A: Whether you have a one page Internet ministry or a huge congregation, you will have our covering to receive offerings from your followers to help fund your ministry.

Q: In what religion will my ordination be registered?
A: Your PMT ordination and ministry license certifies your ministry as a tax-exempted ministry under our banner. No matter what State within the United States you establish your ministry you are covered under our non-profit corporation and protected by our nation’s constitution and bill of rights.

Q: Does my registration have an expiration date? Will it need to be renewed?
A: No. As long as you keep your Prophetic Family Partnership monthly pledge current your licenses is considered an active organization under our articles of incorporation and by-laws.

What Will Ordination Papers Do for Me?

Ordination gives you the authority to officiate weddings in all 50 states.

Marriage laws are governed at the state level. By taking the important step to be ordained, you are making a statement of faith. You are taking an oath to believe in God as the one true God, you are accepting Jesus Christ as your true and Holy Savior. It is important that you are pure of heart with a desire to show the love of Jesus to His people. In many ways, ordination is a cleansing process where each minister is asked to renew his faith in God and recognize his own sins. It is understood that we will grant you the authority to minister on our designated websites and later our Prophetic Network, a satellite and cable television program as long as you meet these conditions.

Benefits for Being Ordained and Licensed:

Becoming an Ordained Minister is an important step for anyone looking for advancement in his or her career and a way to experience higher level of spiritual growth. Similar to a degree or certification in vocational studies, your Ordained Certificate and Ministry License proves that you have taken the next step in your commitment to follow Jesus and His calling upon your life.

Although the benefits of being an Ordained Minister are different for all people, the capabilities and potential are the same. Being an Ordained Minister will open new doors for you, spiritually, financially, and socially.

Depending on how ambitious you are, there is a wide range of utilities associated with being a registered ordained minister. Ordained ministers are encouraged to organize fellowships, run Bible studies, prayer sessions and pray for friends and family. More ambitious ministers may choose to start their own congregation, and perhaps produce their own videos or reading material, guiding others in their walk of faith.

Being registered as an ordained minister also allows you to conduct various ceremonies such as weddings, funerals, and baptisms. To perform these ceremonies, most ministers ask for what is known as an honorarium — a reasonable fee to cover travel expenses, preparation, and time. Ordained ministers command respect from their peers, but also carry the responsibility of upholding a new degree of integrity and spiritual awareness. These responsibilities, if properly managed, will lead to a stronger connection with God.

Anointings, Spiritual Gifts and Calling

Just because the anointing was there at one time does not mean it is there forever. There are special anointings that are there for certain things or specific seasons. Anointings are different from spiritual gifts and callings; they can come and go, but the gift and calling never leave you.

The anointing can lift. The anointing can change. People can shift from an evangelistic anointing to pastoral anointing or from prophetic to apostolic anointing. It can move from one office to the next. It is like majoring in a specified degree in college with a minor in a different subject, yet both degrees work together for a specialized position or job, i.e. a tax-attorney is required to have a Law degree as well as their CPA. The same concept works in ministry. You can be called into one or more of the five-fold ascension gift ministries listed in Ephesians 4:11

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.”
Ephesians 4:11

You can be anointed to be a prophet and certain gifts and callings will remain with you. Even Paul prophesied, but he was an apostle. Not all apostles prophesy yet the gift can be there. The gifts and callings are irrevocable, but the anointing can change. We often fail to recognize this or mistake the anointing for the gift or calling. The anointing is the unction or leading of the Holy Spirit. If you hear what you think to be an anointed message it is probably because you are being called into that type of calling or spiritual gift.

People may still move in the same way they were moving yesterday, but there is no anointing in it. They realize that something is missing. They are not getting what they got before, because God has changed directions. They need to get under that anointed cloud, back under that pillar of fire and power so that they can find out what God wants to do through them. As anointings change, we must change, because that is where He, the Anointed One, is. The anointing comes from God. To be in the anointed place is to recognize that we need to be under the covering of His Spirit. If we are under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit then we will be in the perfect will of the Father.

Jesus, The Anointed One

As Christians it is our life-long challenge to find out what we are anointed to do. The anointing we receive from the Holy Spirit is different than the calling of God. You see many men and women of God are called to preach or teach, but few receive the anointing to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit that establishes your ministry.

Jesus said: “if the people do not see signs and wonders they will not believe”
John 4:48

“For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established”
Romans 1:11

When our Lord and Savior was appointed to read from the scriptures it was on this special Holy day He read what He had been called to do for all mankind. He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. Then He read the way it is recorded in the New Testament:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord”
Luke 4:16-19

Jesus knew what He was anointed to do and He fulfilled what His Father sent Him to accomplish.

When a prophetic word comes by a spoken word or through the written word or even on a billboard down the road it is anointed of God, impossible to miss. Jesus was called and anointed to put an end to the curse of the law of sin and death. This is the way it happens for most of us and when it does you’ll know without a doubt, for you will know that you know in your knower that God has an anointing for you.

Anointings Change

The anointing is the unction of the Holy Spirit directing you into God’s will for your life in that moment, hour, or season. There are times we need a new and fresh anointing to work in our lives, for the old no longer works.

Unfortunately, too many people keep holding on to the old anointing and lose the fragrance that once brought God’s presence into their lives. If this ever happens to you, you will need to find His new anointing for you. You will be forced to find your anointing in order to move under the protection, the power and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Only then will you be able to accomplish the things God wants to accomplish through you. As long as you are doing what God has called you to do, there will be peace and harmony. You will be satisfied. Nobody will be able to touch you, and your emotions will all be intact.

“…Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.”
2 Corinthians 2:14

When God starts to move us in a certain way, we want to look at it and size it up. Is it comfortable? Is this something I want to do? Is this something that lines up with my dreams? Our dreams can become nightmares when we try to forge them into our lives when God has not called us to walk in them. There are a lot of people trying to live out their dreams, but what they are doing is living out their own humanistic carnal nature, absent of His anointing. They struggle through life, trusting their own reasoning and rejecting God’s revelation all the while claiming Romans 8:28,

“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28

“The problem is they are not in His purpose; if they had the anointing from the Anointed One they would not be banging their head up against the wall, confused, broken and not understanding why God isn’t helping them. Believe me when I say His Kingdom is not like Burger King. You are not going to get it whatever way you want. You must pray (ask), Hear (His voice) and Obey (exactly His way).

Seek God’s Revelation

We need to seek God’s revelation for our lives. It does not matter if it doesn’t manifest the way we think it ought to or that the fruit doesn’t seem to be there. What is important is that we are doing God’s will, and that can only be accomplished by His anointing.

Not everything that is drawing a crowd is anointed of God. For example, most people think that if they are rich God has blessed them and anointed them to prosper, but we know this is not true. You cannot measure your spirituality by how much money you have in the bank or even how poor you are. Wealth and popularity are not the measuring stick for God’s anointing. These are things of this world; his anointing will manifest in the supernatural. This is the way you know the anointing is present.

People build lots of things that are not of God. We see this all over the place. People may like the character of an individual or their personality or looks. They may like the way they sing or speak or even the way they wear their hair. People are attracted to them because of the lust of the flesh and the pride of this life, but those born-again should not follow these worldly temptations. We cannot allow ourselves to be led by our flesh’s emotions; we must be led by the anointing that comes from the Holy Spirit.

1 John 2:16 reveals this truth:

“For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.”
1 John 2:16

Instead, we need to look at the anointing that rests upon the person. We have to ask ourselves if it is just entertainment or the anointing. It is sometimes hard to see the difference between being entertained and being taught something of value by the anointing of Christ. We need to know if it is our emotions that we are being moved by or if it is the Holy Spirit teaching us the ways and thoughts of God. The anointing teaches us all things, and it comes to us through the anointing that is given to men and women by the Holy Spirit.

“But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him”.
1 John 2:27

Anointing vs. Emotions

It is in the anointing we will find our calling and gift in life not in the emotions of the “flash in the pan” hype of the worldly. Jonathan Edwards delivered the sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God“, a classic of early American literature, during a revival in 1741. In his bland monotone voice, he read his sermon about hell, heaven and the God of wrath to a large crowd of early revivalists in America’s first Great Awakening. As he began to read, people started to weep, faint and scream. Over a short period of time thousands became believers. It was the anointing not hype that birthed this revival. All Edwards did was stand reading; the anointing drew the people into a vision of hell as they experienced themselves being drawn into the fiery pit.

I have read the sermon, but I did not experience any of these things, nor did anyone else who I have read it to. Why? Because Jonathan Edwards was anointed for that time to be used of God to become a part of this Great Awakening, and the people knew it was all God.

If you ever read his sermon, you will wonder how it had an effect on so many people, but the anointing was there at that particular time. It does not mean that this is the way we all should do it. There are so many copycats.

People try to copy someone else’s anointing, but it just doesn’t work. We need to find our own anointed message that God has put in our heart to share. There may be a likeness in the spirit of the same message others are preaching, but you still must have your own personal anointing that will touch those whom God has chosen.

Prophecy is the testimony that Jesus is not dead but Alive and Speaking to you and I.

Hi Pastor Kent,

I just wanted to thank you for your prophetic word it is very up lifting. I have to fight the Good Fight of Faith and prepare for whats ahead. You are a true Prophet that sees what the Spirit of Grace has shown you. When I first got the Word of the Lord I was in total shock and I am still in awe. I give all the Glory to God, thank you for being a true Son of our Great God & King, great is your reward. May the Lord impart unto you more doors to reach many Sons & Daughters of the Body of Christ for the equipping we need for the work of the ministry!!!

Jeremy M.

Pastor Kent,

I hope and pray that your health and heart are improving, and that all is well with you, your family and ministry. I just read the e-newsletter you sent out and was blessed by it. I was struck by what you said about things needing to go to our spirit first, then our head, and by what a shortcut it is to receive revelation from God instead of trying to figure out everything ourselves.

Thanks for the emails and the discs you send out–they are a blessing.

Dan Devine

Throughout the years I have tried to give instruction to the congregation before ministering to them in the prophetic gifts in order to help those who have received a prophetic word or who are planning on requesting a word. There are certain things one who ask for a prophetic word needs to know. First of all I have never met anyone whom God did not have a word for. He desires to speak to all of us in the same love as He demonstrated at the cross of Calvary, so when we ask for a word we should expect to receive one and know that He is not going to condemn us or speak about the things we would not want anyone to know about. In fact our Lord is such a gentleman if He has something that He wants to talk to you about that deals with something you would not want anyone one to know He will speak in such a way that no one will understand what He is saying except you.

Another point I would like to make is when you receive a prophetic word, please do not try to make that word come to pass. First of all you probably don’t really even know what or how He plans on fulfilling His word for you. In fact, when you try and make your word come to pass you will only delay the process of receiving the promise within His word that is intended to bless you. After you have received your word listen or read it a few times then put it away and wait a couple of months and then listen or read it again. Just remember God is quite capable of fulfilling His word, so leave it alone and wait upon Him to do that which He has planned.

Also, when you receive a prophetic word be sure you do not go around sharing your word with everyone. Oddly, sometimes what God says to you can make some people very angry for reasons that are not always known. Remember Joseph when he received his prophetic dream he shared it with his family and it angered his brothers and they took him out and dumped him? I have witnessed this happening many times to various people who have been excited about their word and shared it with those who became angry with them and even brought harm upon them. Please be wise and prayerful about with whom you share your prophetic word.

Too many people make the mistake of making more out of their prophecy than it is intended. In the book of Revelation there is a warning given for adding or subtracting from the word of prophecy. If you look at the life of Apostle Paul when he received his prophetic word from Ananias, which was, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake” (Acts 9:15-6). First of all, most of us would erase the last part of this word that “he must suffer for My name’s sake.” However, the part about going to Kings in the name of the Lord, well that sounds very promising. Think of the financial blessing that could be received by going to the Kings of the various nations in the name of Jesus. However, Paul’s word did not come to pass in the manner that most would think. He did share the gospel message with a king, King Agrippa, but Paul was in chains as a prisoner for years waiting for his chance to preach before a king (Acts 26:27-8). The point is you never know how you will find the prophetic word coming to pass; therefore, do not assume you know just because you heard, for it is not enough to hear His word you must know what it means.

There is a purpose for why God gives you a prophetic word and there will be a process that the word will take you through before you receive the promise of His word. Most everyone wants to go straight from the purpose to the promise and bypass the process. Without the process you will not be ready to handle His promise.

When you receive a prophetic word you will find up to three different gifts working in your word; prophecy, which is foretelling, word of knowledge, revealing things of your past or present and the word of wisdom, which basically gives conditions and situations that will transpire if you choose to go one way or the other. Most people are confused regarding their prophetic word because they think that the part spoken about what is taking place or that it has already transpired is from God, but the parts that have not happened in their life are not of God. Most of the time the word of wisdom seems to be just confusing rhetoric that makes no sense; however, it all has meaning and purpose. The word of knowledge helps you believe the prophecy within the word, because things are being revealed that you know there is no way the minister could know outside of God revealing them. When the prophecy is revealed it should be received knowing that if the present is being revealed then the part that is prophecy, or foretelling of what is to come will be much easier to believe. However, the prophetic word is not always received this way, even though this method should make it much easier to believe and not be incorrectly judged.

One final note, when a prophetic word is being given do not assume that what is said in the first part of the word is what will happen first, for it is not intended to be delivered in any specific order; “For we know in part and we prophesy in part” (1 Corinthians 13:9).

What is Prophecy?

This interview between Pastor Ras Robinson and Prophet Kent Simpson took place in August of 1994. Its purpose is to familiarize pastors and laypersons with those who operate in the prophetic gifts. It is our desire to see the church allow freedom for the prophetically gifted to come into the congregations to minister to the saints.

The body of Christ has been instructed in the scriptures not to despise prophesy and out of all the gifts we are to pursue prophecy (1 Thessalonians 5:20).

“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:1).

There are many questions about whether prophecy is really of God. How can we know it is of God? What do we do when we get a word from a prophetic minister? I hope you will find the answers to these and other questions in the following interview:

PASTOR RAS: It is a real pleasure to have with me today a prophet, Brother Kent Simpson. I have known him long enough to say that it is good to have this time with you, Brother Kent, and that I trust you, love you and believe in what you do. I wanted to do this interview so that others could hear us discuss together this incredible gift of Prophecy. Joel said in the latter days it would be poured out upon men, women, and children. In times past, it seemed as if we had a real outpouring of prophecy. It appears, however, that in these days we have had an even greater outpouring spread throughout the body of Christ. I thought I would start by asking some basic questions about prophecy. Let me begin. What is the definition of prophecy, and what are we speaking of when we talk about prophecy?

PROPHET KENT: I am glad you asked these questions! There is not much opportunity for us (those who walk in the Prophetic) to have someone of your depth and understanding take the time and be inquisitive enough to ask such questions. There is a real need for these questions to be asked. I appreciate that you have taken the time to investigate, to evaluate, and to biblically review the gift of prophecy. I know you have seen the demonstration of all the gifts in operation and realize how important it is that we get a deeper understanding of this prophetic movement in the Body of Christ today.

The definition of prophecy is foretelling, telling of things to come. Many people assume that prophecy is anything you tell them that has to do with their life. They may think it to be something they are presently dealing with, something they have been praying about, or something that has happened in their childhood. That is the word of knowledge. Hopefully we will discuss this gift and the gift of wisdom later. However, Prophecy deals with things to come. Judging prophecy is something else we need to discuss at some point in this interview.

“But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men” (1Corinthians 14:3).

PASTOR RAS: One of the definitions of prophecy in I Corinthians 14:3 has to do with edifying, encouraging, and consoling. When I look at the definition in this passage, I see another little phrase and I wonder what you think about it. I think it is Strong’s Concordance that says prophecy is an “inspired speaking”. What does that mean to you?

PROPHET KENT: Well, my understanding of that definition is an inspired utterance by the Holy Spirit to men. In II Peter, the first chapter, Peter says that we have a more sure word, the prophetic word. He says also in this passage that the prophetic scriptures (scriptures dealing with things to come) never came by the will of man but by holy men of God who were moved by the Holy Spirit.

“For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21).

This scripture clearly defines inspired speaking not as someone who is a good orator, but one who is a vessel through which the Holy Spirit speaks. You referred earlier to Joel that in the latter day’s young men would prophesy, old men would dream dreams, and the Spirit would come upon the sons and daughters.

“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your 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. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the remnant whom the LORD calls” (Joel 2: 28-32).

This scripture would indicate that the Holy Spirit is still giving inspired utterances to God’s chosen vessels today. We really question whether that can happen these days; however, we will find out that it is possible. The Lord is definitely raising up the prophetic utterance in this day.

What is the Word of Knowledge?

PASTOR RAS: One thing I see in your ministry, Brother Kent, is that you zero in on an individual. You prophesy directly to that person. I know there are other things you do, but that is what I have seen you do primarily. A person will come to you and you will tell them things about themselves that often only they and the Lord know. In that Revelation it is almost as if their heart opens to receive your word of foretelling or your word of encouragement. How does that work?

PROPHET KENT: When the Lord reveals things to a person (past or present, which is a word of knowledge) it brings them to a place where they can believe. My wife and I often see that when the Lord tells us of things that have happened in a person’s life (word of knowledge) and then they receive their prophecy; they then are able to believe the prophecy will come to pass. One of the things about prophecy that is most difficult for people to understand or believe is that God is going to build them up with a word of such great edification and encouragement. That is what edification is for, building up of men. What God is doing is raising a temple, and we are the living stones. He is taking each stone, as a potter would, and is beginning to mold each of us for our perfect place in this temple.

We have had many people write and say, “Well, I got my prophecy, and I don’t know, it sounds a little bit too far-fetched. I just can’t see myself praying for the sick and someone actually being healed. I just can’t see myself getting out of poverty. I can’t see myself… you fill in the blank.” What happens is that over time the prophecy begins to unfold. It will happen whether they believe it or not (if the word is true and from the Holy Spirit).

The Word of Knowledge that we were speaking of, telling of things already happening in a person’s life is the catalyst that helps them to be able to believe.The Word of Knowledge that we were speaking of, telling of things already happening in a person’s life is the catalyst that helps them to be able to believe. They may say to themselves, “Well, if he was right in what he told me in this area of my life, maybe there is a possibility that he is right about my future. Maybe the prophecy I just received will come to pass. After all he was right about what I did that only God and I know, and he did reveal a prayer request I have not told my spouse or my children. God evidently told this individual who is ministering to me what I have been praying. After all, God is answering my prayer through him, so there is a good possibility that the things he said about my future are going to happen, too.

What is the Word of Wisdom?

PASTOR RAS: So the Word of Knowledge is like a faith door, and if the people receive it then credibility has been established. Then you can speak that prophetic, foretelling, word to them. Should an individual look to prophecy for direction in their life?

A Word of Wisdom will give guidance, direction and has conditions.

PROPHET KENT: No, because prophecy is not conditional. If it is of the Lord it will happen, regardless. However, a Word of Wisdom will give guidance, direction and has conditions. Many people have tried to work out their prophecies. They may have received a Word from God that said that He would be moving them or they would start a new career, perhaps even establishing them in their ministry. They then try to help God fulfill the prophecy. The worst thing a person can do is try to make the prophecy happen.

We live in an instantaneous society, one where everything has to be “nuked in 30 seconds”. We want it now. We, as people of God, must understand that we are people of an eternal God. He is not dictated by time. He does not wear a wristwatch, and He rarely tells us that we are going to receive tomorrow. Christians are going to have to learn that we are eternal beings. We must change our mindset and stop thinking that our life is going to be over when we are 80 years old.

It reminds me of Abraham when he received a Word from God that his barren wife, Sarah, would give birth to a son, Isaac. After a period of time the word had not come to pass so they thought, “Well, let’s just jump in and help God a little.” They took Sarah’s handmaiden and gave her to Abraham so that she could conceive a child that they may see the prophecy fulfilled. They could not wait for God’s perfect timing. Remember, Abraham and Sarah brought an Ishmael into their life. Ishmael became a real sore spot in their relationship. Everything began to fall apart until Isaac, God’s appointed son, was born to Sarah. That was the promise, a son of Sarah.

The best thing to do when you receive a prophetic utterance, which deals with things to come, is to take that Word and write it down or save it on disk. It is important to keep it in its exact form and entirety. Then put it on the shelf, listen to it from time to time, and judge it by letting time pass. If it is the Lord, it will come to pass. David had to wait 20 years to become King after Samuel prophesied that he would be King of Israel.

You cannot judge prophecy by your surroundings. David, for example, was hunted like a mad dog by Saul, who was the King. It looked as if there was no possibility of him ever sitting on the throne! God will reveal himself and bring your prophecy to pass in such a way that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you had nothing to do with it. He does this so that you will know with confidence that God has given you this Word and that He will fulfill that Word in you in His perfect timing.

Thank you for the CD prophecy. You use your gifting in a most accurate and astounding way! I am so glad I found out who you are on the Elijah list. What an awesome gift God has given you. Such encouragement you have given me.

Many blessings,

From Elijahlist.com;

I got up early this morning and opened my e-mails and found your message, your stories and something inside of me jumped. I love the true prophetic and it is so rare in my area of the country. I’m from the ‘show me state’, Missouri and it’s like faith is foreign to most, so they doubt the true calling of the prophet. But I believe God is raising up prophets that will guide us through these days we are living and your testimony encourages. I would love to sit under one of your services, but as the centurion said, you don’t have to come to me, just speak the word. If our God speaks a word of prophecy to you for me, please feel free to share it with me. My greatest desire is to walk in God’s perfect will and purpose for my life and I believe He often gives instruction, encouragement and confirmation through prophecy. I could use all three.

God bless!!

To Kent,

I want to tell you about something I experienced a few days after I received your handkerchief. I was sitting in the cafeteria where I was in Gospel City, (The name on this Place/School).

It came such a stillness and the presence of the Lord was so strong I could not speak, I could not pray, just sit there and I thought I was sitting there for hours. I could not move either. I wondered if that was this encounter with the angels that was sent to minister to me?

A few days before I was going back to Norway I had a 3 day Estther Fast without any food without any water, I took nothing. This 3 Days. I don’t know the reason for it, but I know that I had to do it. On the second day of this fast, that night I saw a person standing at my bed and there was a beautiful smell, maybe like roses. I don’t know if it was an angel or Jesus? I just wanted to tell you about this.

Thank You and God Bless!
Edith From Norway

In the early 1990’s there were only a few Pastors who believed in personal prophecy or trusted anyone who said they could hear God. One special friend of mine, Apostle Paul Roberts, who has an international ministry and has established many churches in various foreign countries, called me with a request for a Pastor friend of his. He told me over the telephone that his friend’s name was Gary Holcombe. Gary was from Hawaii and had just been laid off after serving his denomination for over 17 years.

Reverend Holcombe had spent a few years as a traveling evangelist for his denomination before taking on the missionary responsibilities in Thailand. Eventually, Rev. Holcombe became the overseer of all the Pacific Islands and pastored a Church under his denomination’s banner. Feeling very secure in his position, he found himself totally caught off guard when he was given his notice of release. Having to vacate the parsonage with his wife and two children, he was basically homeless with nowhere to go. This is when he called upon our mutual friend, Apostle Paul Roberts.

Apostle Roberts knew the pain Rev. Holcombe was experiencing, for he too had been given his walking papers a few years prior from the same denomination. With great compassion, Apostle Paul made arrangements for Rev. Holcombe to bring his family to Texas from Hawaii. After Rev. Holcombe’s family was settled in, the plan was initiated for Rev. Holcombe and his family to take Apostle Roberts’s van and travel around the country to various churches preaching as well as looking for a church to pastor. After a few weeks Rev. Holcombe returned financially broke and emptied of any confidence he might have had in himself. This is when Apostle Paul Roberts called me.

We made arrangements with Apostle Roberts to meet Rev. Holcombe and his family at a restaurant that was midway between the distances of our homes. When I was introduced to the Reverend Gary Holcombe and his dear wife Bonnie and their two children I could see right away God was going to deliver them from their pain. As we waited for the meals to be prepared, I pulled out my trusty tape recorder and dropped in an audio cassette tape. After a few things were recorded regarding their past, the revelation of which caused them to believe that maybe I was able to hear God for them, our Lord said, “When you return to Hawaii there will be one waiting on you who will offer you a place to live and within the same month you will be offered a position in a ministry that will establish you.”

I am not sure if they had even planned on going back to Hawaii, but they seemed to be happy of the fact they had some direction. Within a short period of time, I received a call from Apostle Roberts and he informed me that Rev. Holcombe and his family did in fact manage to get a flight back to Hawaii; however, they had no idea what they were to do when they landed. He continued to report that when they landed in Oahu the Pastor who had replaced him met them at the airport. He loaded their things into his vehicle and took them to their old parsonage and told them he was not going to need the place, for he had a home. The first part of his prophecy had just been fulfilled.

After they waited around for days in the parsonage someone came knocking on the door. When they opened it there was someone from the church who said that a Mr. Pete Sumrall had called for him and had given Rev. Holcombe the phone number. Rev. Holcombe returned the call and found out that this man is the son of the late Dr. Lester Sumrall, a well-known television minister. In fact, his son Pete Sumrall ran the TV station in Hawaii and was calling to offer Rev. Holcombe a job at the station. Within just a few days, Rev. Holcombe was sitting behind a desk at the station drawing a paycheck for more than he made at his former position. One of the benefits was that he was given a 30 minute television spot to launch his own ministry, “Prayerline Hawaii” was the name of his television program. This was the second part of the prophecy that had come to pass in a very short period of time

Then Apostle Paul Roberts reported that Rev. Holcombe was a new man. He reported, “It is true, one word from God can change your life.” Continuing with his report, Apostle Roberts said that Rev. Holcombe was setting up a three day revival in a large church for all three of us to minister and that he had a number of other churches who wanted to host Apostle Roberts and myself to minister to their congregations. Then he informed me that I would need to bring my family and that we would be staying at his place, for three weeks and three days. Needless to say, I was taken aback by the request, for that is a long time to be away from home, although we were really excited about the plan. This was just the beginning of a new relationship that God had formed by delivering His Word, and there is much more to tell.

God’s way of networking continues to shock me even today. His promise to me was that everywhere a prophecy was sent I would reap a harvest. My rewards have been abundant, and I am so blessed to be a small part of His Word being sent out that more lives may be changed.

My relationship with Rev. Gary Holcombe continued to grow. In fact we traveled to Thailand to help out Pastor Boone Bureenok who had been forced to start an orphanage. You see the Pastor and his wife frequently would find early in the morning a baby in a box or on the ground at their front door crying. Young mothers who were drug addicts would dump their babies at that door in hopes they would take care of them.

Experiencing the call of God to help Pastor Boone, Rev. Gary Holcombe and I flew to Thailand with camera gear in tow with plans to make a video to air on LeSea Broadcasting Network to raise funds for Pastor Boone Bureenok. We cut a 30 minute segment and it aired for a period of time on LeSea Broadcasting Network. This was just one of many ministry experiences Rev. Gary Holcombe and I had the wonderful pleasure of being a part of together. However, God’s networking has not stopped with just these great men for He continues to build links with others to this day. Being in the ministry under Jesus Christ is the most exciting life, and the rewards are out of this world.

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
John 18:36

Dear Pastor Kent,

Greeting’s, I wanted to personally thank you for God’s prophecies through you to me. It must take a lot of courage to speak some of the things that God tells you to speak. So thank you so very much for being obedient to do that. You have told me a lot of things that I imagine alot of other prophets would be reluctant to share with me. But everything that you’ve shared has so born witness with me. So, always, no matter how outlandish that something may sound to you from the Lord, please go ahead and continue giving it all to me As it is greatly assisting me to prepare myself in the fulfilment of God’s calling for my life.

Your brother in Christ, blessing’s,

Joseph Lancaster

Amazing!!

I am amazed that the Holy Spirit is already bringing about what you spoke to me!! You spoke about a prophetic gift that would be activated and that sometimes I would be shunned but the word would surely come to pass. I have things coming from my mouth that are not coming from me! They are causing disruption to the status quo so you can imagine how “interesting” my life has become. I am enjoying this new more intense relationship with The Lord! Thank you so much for obeying The Lord and putting that article in Charisma magazine so many years ago.. Isn’t this walk incredible? I’m still astounded by all of this! Keep up the good work.

Your fellow Texan,

Julie A

Dear Prophet Kent:

Thank you so much for allowing me to connect with your ministry. Since I’ve connected with you everything has started to work out in my life. Sometimes there is that one missing link that you need to put your life in order. You are that connection I needed. I thank God that you have been obedient to the heavenly calling. You are saving lives.

God’s love, and mine,
Kyle Miller
