I wrestled with what to write in this section, and as I sit at the keyboard, I sense the Lord encouraging me to share how He has been working in my life, which has led me to establish this community.

I come from a conservative Christian background, so when I found myself standing in a queue waiting for a personal prophetic word at the end of a business summit for Christian entrepreneurs in 2018, I felt hesitant yet excited because our denomination and local church had never been involved in this area of ministry. In fact, there was an ongoing debate in our theological circles about whether the gifts of the Spirit (such as prophecy) were still active today.

Some believed they had ceased, and others believed they had partially ceased, based on their observations of unexplained situations that could only have come from God, while working on the mission field. Nevertheless, that day I felt the Lord drawing me in, and I waited with great expectation and apprehension for what He would say.

A few years later, when the world went into lockdown during COVID, I was secretly pleased. As an Extroverted Introvert, it meant I no longer had to attend networking meetings, and as I had spent the best part of my adult life working and learning online, I enrolled in as many short courses as I could, ranging from learning what being prophetic meant, operating in the prophetic, Activating the 9 Gifts of the Spirit, Healing, Prophetic Warrior, Wartime Intercessors, and Praying the News, to name a few.

I learned that the feeling when something ‘felt off’ was the gift of discernment, and it was during the following years that my internal alarm bells were ringing loudly as we continued to be bombarded with ‘trust the science,’ and other similar slogans, threats, and coercion I’d not witnessed or experienced, until then. I was often left baffled as to why so many people—even from the church-couldn’t see through the lies. In fact, it still baffles me that many still haven't discerned the lies and deception as the enemy endeavours to roll out his plans, just like Jesus told us would happen in the very last days.

Over the next several years, I had the opportunity to work with the same prophetic team I met in 2018 through Christian business summits and my Christian business podcast, learning of the importance of waging war with your personal prophecy, spending time with the Lord in prayer and reading His word as you continued to test and measure what had been said.

It was also during these years that the Lord led me through some very difficult seasons where I felt in constant spiritual battle, both personally and with a family member as they faced a life-threatening illness. It was only through His grace and His strength that He saw me through those difficult days, deepening my dependence on (and relationship with) Him.

It wasn’t until early March 2026 that the Lord encouraged me to highlight paragraphs that stood out for me from the personal prophecies I had received over the years. Through prayer and further research to find out what these key phrases meant, the pieces of the puzzle finally began to come together.

The phrase ‘the rest is history’ doesn’t quite seem fitting. I’m still moving forward in faith, obeying what I believe the Lord has instructed for establishing this community, and trusting that He will continue to guide and equip me as I encourage and empower those He calls, so they can be equipped for their next assignment.
