You’re lower on the spectrum of mercy (unless you’re a mercy prophet).

You’re lower on the spectrum of sensitivity (unless you’re highly pastoral).

You see solutions. And relatedly, you’re may already successfully operate as a consultant in an area of expertise. The most successful consultants are prophets or carry a strong prophetic gift. This trait operates in connection with the one listed above.

You see what the enemy is attempting to do (if you’re a watchman prophet) whether through internal pictures that flash across your mind (internal visions), external visions, or “knowings.” This enable you to pray in a way that takes out the plans of the enemy.

You have a clear sense/knowing of what the Lord wants to do. You’re able to facilitate what the Lord wants to do. This may happen through prayer (you’ll know heaven’s blueprint) or successfully guiding a business or church (that the Kingdom of God be expanded).

You may be a loner. You value you’re alone time. Your tendency is to want to stay in your “cave.”

You experience a greater degree of rejection, betrayal, and misunderstanding than most. You also experience a greater degree of trials than most.

The enemy has tried to take you out. Perhaps more than once. He’s not just opposed to what you carry/who you are, he fears it.

You’re warrior, even if it merely outworks in the prayer closet. All believers are called to be soldiers of Christ, but warriors are called to be strong and courageous. Warriors are willing to run to the front lines of a battle. Warriors are willing to take the “hits.”

You’re called to lead, to be a leader.

If you’re employed, you rise to positions of management and authority.

You’re self-employed and you’ve built something from the ground up. Particularly if you carry an apostolic anointing/edge. This pertains to ministry and non-profit organizations as well.

You’re a pioneer, a forerunner, a trailblazer; you’ve plowed ground where no one else has plowed. And if you’re a trailblazer, you’re forging a path that others may follow. This is apostolic; you are called as an apostolic prophet or a prophet apostle.

You have a heart for the outcasts. A heart for those who are “down and out.” You’re willing to go to the byways, where others are not willing to go, in order to reach these ones.

You just want to talk about God. You don’t want to talk about the weather. You don’t want to have shallow conversations; these conversations frustrate or bore you. You want to talk about God and you want to go deep.

You are a “feeler.” Highly sensitive to peoples’ emotions. This is why it’s easier to be alone.

You simply perceive, sense, and know things. It’s obvious to you, simply a matter of 2+2=4, but others don’t see the equation you see. You’re intuitive. And it’s God-given. Intuitive: perceived by the mind immediately, without the intervention of argument or testimony; having the power of discovering truth without reasoning (Websters 1828 app)

You’re highly sensitive and discerning to the spiritual atmospheres of people, rooms, cities, and regions. You can also sense an evil or very dark person, simply by their “atmosphere.” Or you see something on a person, by the spirit, but in this case it’s more likely you know you’re a called prophet.

You have a high level of discernment. You know what spirits are in operation. You can discern whether something is of God, the flesh, or the enemy.

You are highly dedicated/consecrated/devoted to God. Worship is a strong component in your life.

You’ve had dreams from God, even as a child and even before you knew the LORD. Or you’ve had spiritual/supernatural experiences throughout your life.

You’re created and called to influence a certain demographic of people, a particular industry, or a social justice issue. You’re called to stand before the “kings” and leaders the earth. And some of these “kings” are not literal, but “kings” of industries.

Conclusion

If you resonate with the majority of these traits, it’s likely you were created and wired as a prophet. This does not mean you sit in the office, as it’s come to be termed, according to the five-fold ministry gifts listed in Ephesians 4. This simply means you are called to be a prophet and it requires first that you answer the call. Then after answering the call, you must endure the process. And it’s a long process, averaging 15 years, even longer, but potentially made shorter through mentoring and prophet training. If you haven’t yet recognized this, here are two of the reasons why:

* The mainstream church has taught that prophets don’t exist today.

* The Church has a skewed view of prophets; sees prophets only inside the church walls and behind pulpits. God however, is currently developing and deploying prophets to influence all spheres of society. Discovery comes first however.

If you don’t resonate with these traits, perhaps you know someone who does align with these specific prophet tendencies. Feel free to share this free resource with that person. And if this has impacted you in any way, please share in the comments and please be specific. Please know also - I’m not here to defend or debate the matter. In Christ’s Love and Lordship…
