I’m probably the last person you’d expect to be talking about prophecy, miracles, or living a supernatural life. I’m not polished. I’m not a theologian. I’m a recovering addict with ADHD and crippling PTSD. Honestly, just dealing with people can stress me out to the point of a panic attack. If God were looking for the “strong and qualified,” I’d be the first one off the list.
But that’s exactly why I’m here talking to you. God specializes in using people like me—the foolish, the weak, the ones who don’t look like they have it all together.
And isn’t that the point? Jesus didn’t die to build up the powerful or reward the polished. He died to restore us to a real, supernatural relationship with God—a relationship where His strength shows up in our weakness and His power works through ordinary people.
When God Speaks, the Enemy Fights
Every time God has given me a significant prophecy, it’s followed the same pattern. First comes the revelation, the clarity, the absolute certainty that it’s from Him, and then, the moment I share it, BAM! Attacked.
It’s like the enemy rushes in, whispering:
“What if you’re wrong? You’re going to look so foolish. Did God even speak to you?”
These moments are brutal. It feels like the weight of the world is crashing down on me. The certainty I had just moments before is suddenly replaced by incredible fear and insecurity. But over time, I’ve learned to recognize these attacks for what they are: confirmation that the prophecy is dangerous to the enemy’s plans.
The enemy doesn’t waste time attacking insignificant things. If you’re being bombarded with doubt, it’s because what you’ve spoken is about to reveal God’s power in a way that changes lives. A powerful spiritual life is the gift that each of us was given on the cross and it is your’s for the asking.
Signs, Wonders, & Miracles, Oh My!
FIERY DARTS
Miracles mean spiritual battles.
One day, I suddenly had revelation knowledge that a miracle was coming to a person in our church who doctors had diagnosed as infertile. I asked God when it was going to happen and he said, “Four months”.
So, I printed up the prophecy and gave it to my pastor who delivered it during the church service. As soon as I delivered the prophecy to the pastor and took my seat for the service, I was slammed with the worst fear and doubt that I’ve ever experienced.
Before giving the word, I was filled with power and absolute certainty. But as soon as I gave it and sat down, it felt as though every demon in hell was screaming in my face, telling me how stupid I was going to look in “exactly” four months when it didn’t happen. This barrage continued all through the service and became so bad that I left before the service was over.
For the next four months, the attacks assuring me of how stupid I was going to look continued. So, four months later, you can imagine my relief (and joy), when I discovered that it happened exactly as God said it would.
I was at morning prayer when I was introduced to Tracy. She shared with me her testimony of how she was told she couldn’t conceive. So, she asked someone in the church to pray for her. Then, just recently she had been to the doctor and was told that she was expecting.
I didn’t have to do the math in my head, I already knew it was a little over four months since God sent the word, so I asked, “Did you find out on the 4th?”
When said, “Yes!”, my eyes sort of bugged out of my head because it was my very first public prophecy that I made with a specific date. I could not contain my enthusiasm. I practically shouted, “That’s exactly four months to the day!”
Score one for the home team!! Ha! Take that, stupid devils.
It was the first time I was demonically attacked with doubt, but it wasn’t the last.
JOHN PROPHESIED TO RECOVER FROM BRAIN DEATH
Another time, my mother came over to my house, very upset because a close family friend, John, had just been declared brain dead. John’s doctors suggested terminating life-support the next day so she asked me to pray with her.
Suddenly, while we were praying, God gave me the interpretation of a dream that I had just had that morning. I suddenly knew that John was going to be restored.
Granted, it looked impossible. Tests revealed NO brain activity, there was not a shred of hope being offered from any medical professional. In fact, they were certain there was no hope, and arrangements were being made to turn off life support. But, when God drops revelation knowledge inside of me, a truckload of absolute, unexplainable, power (aka anointing) comes with it. I was certain.
While I felt this anointing, and God’s presence and power coursing through my being, I was certain that John was going to be restored so I shared the good news with everyone who knew John. But, upon delivering the great news, it quickly became apparent that all the hearers of my glad tidings thought I had lost my mind.
Nobody believed that John was going to recover, he was brain dead, and my absolute adamance that God was going to restore him made me look kinda kooky. It was easier to believe that I had lost my mind than to believe that he would recover.
And, yet again, the home team won. Against all odds, and the medical certainty that there was no hope, John miraculously recovered from “brain death” and later thanked me for my prayers. I’m sure the neighbors heard me scream for joy when I heard the news.
While the anointing is present, there is never any doubt about what God is saying to my spirit. None. Zilch. Zip. Nada. But once I deliver the prophecy, the tremendous power that comes with the revelation dissipates and I go back to my normal self. And my normal self is wide open to attacks of doubt. After prophesying John’s recovery, the demonic horde seized upon the incredible prophecy and attacked me with insane amounts of doubt yet again.
So I was so incredibly glad when this chapter was over.
RECENT EXAMPLE: WHITE HORSE OF REVELATION CONFIRMED THROUGH AN INSANE SNOW PROPHECY
One day, out of nowhere, I suddenly knew that there would be a shocking snowstorm on September 28th.
‘Suddenly knowing’ is revelation knowledge. It’s suddenly possessing knowledge that I didn’t possess previously. It doesn’t come by way of a thought process, the knowledge is just all of a sudden there.
For example, imagine that I just said to you, there is going to be a snow miracle on the 28th. You would know that a miracle is coming on the 28th. Now you know. Revelation knowledge is just like except there isn’t a person saying the words out loud. Once you’re told, you know it clearly. Revelation knowledge is like being told and knowing for certain, but without words.
As I thought about the coming snowstorm, I knew I should post the details publicly to preserve the prophetic element, so I did.
28th.
SNOW IS COMING.
Sudden, shocking, change.
But as soon as I posted the words to my Facebook profile, I felt a black cloud of doubt creep in and fill the room. It wasn’t normal or ordinary doubts, this was anpther attack by demons. The same demons who always show up right after I follow an unction from God and foretell a miraculous prophecy.
After posting about the snowstorm, while dealing with the usual demonic attack, I began to feel that foretelling a record-breaking, end-of-summer snowstorm, on a specific day seemed like madness.
So, I prayed and asked God to confirm the date.
Then, one night shortly after praying, I woke up twice in the middle of the night. Once at 1:11 am and again at 1:37 am. Both times, I woke up specifically to roll over and note the time.
But, the process felt very strange. It wasn’t as though I had woken up and slowly gained my bearings and wondered what time it was — as would happen in the normal course of events. Instead, it was as though God took over the controls of my body and was rolling me over and looking at the time. When my body rolled over and looked at the time, I was merely aware of what was happening and not actually directing the events taking place within my body.
Then, at 1:37 am, I was awakened in the middle of rolling over when the exact same thing happened again.
Until later, I had no idea why God took over the controls to make me make note of the time. It was while explaining the weird events that I suddenly realized that the time interval between waking up and writing down the times was exactly 28 minutes apart. Suddenly, it made sense. I had prayed for confirmation that the 28th was the correct date!
For good measure, God sent another confirmation. This time it came through a vision of numbers: 8:18 28. At first, I was confused as to what the numbers meant so, again, I asked God for clarity because ’28’ wasn’t the only number that I was shown.
But, a few days a later, I knew exactly what the numbers meant when I saw the news when I saw that a freak out-of-season snowstorm had just happened on the 18th in Australia. God showed me the Australian snowstorm to confirm the one that was coming next. I could hardly believe what was happening but I breathed a sign of relief. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the 28th was definitely the day.
(The snow miracle was a sign to prepare for the birth pangs of Tribulation. The White Horse of Revelation is Coming.)
Attacks of doubt by demons is a scenario that was described by Jesus when he told the parable of the Sower and the birds. Whenever seed (God’s Word) is sown, demons are like ugly little birds who come without fail and try to steal the Word that God sent. Every. Time.
Prophecy is God’s Word. When the Bible was written it was just a bunch of different books and letters. It was not a even considered being put together into one book called the Bible until the Catholic church took over almost 400 years later. This means that when the Bible refers to God’s “Word”, it does not mean the Bible, it means God’s actual words (or prophecy). So, whenever we speak forth God’s word the devil always tries to sabotage or steal it to keep people from believing in and following God.
EXPECT ATTACKS OF DOUBT AND PUT UP YOUR SHIELD OF FAITH
“…take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.”
After two decades of this, I’ve grown accustomed to this pattern and I have learned to expect it because the scenario is always the same: Full of the Holy Spirit – Prophesy with absolute assurance while the Power of God is coursing through me – followed by a major attack of unrelenting fear and doubt until the moment the prophecy is fulfilled.
Battling this is stressful. I’m not going to say that it is easy because it’s not. Expect a battle and know that if demons show up to attack it is because God is doing something and you are on the right track.
Through all of this, I learned that whenever God makes a big move, count on the devil coming to attack. If you’re just starting out on this spiritual journey, know that your family will think you’ve lost your mind. Jesus said, “a prophet has no honor in his hometown”. So just hang in there beause you’ll only look crazy until it starts to rain.
17‘AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
‘THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
18EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
And they shall prophesy.
19‘AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
20‘THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.
21‘AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.’
I’m not telling you these stories to make myself look good—I’m the opposite of qualified. I’m telling you this because if God can use me, He can use anyone. The supernatural life Jesus died to give us isn’t reserved for the perfect or the fearless—it’s for everyone who says yes.
If you’ve ever stepped out in faith and found yourself overwhelmed by doubt, you’re not alone. Jesus warned us this would happen. The enemy tries to snatch away the seeds God plants (Mark 4:15), but that’s how you know you’re on the right track.
The harder the enemy fights, the more certain you can be that God is working.
So if you’re feeling doubt, remember this: Jesus died to give you a supernatural life—not just survival, not just “good enough,” but a powerful, vibrant relationship with God. A life where His strength shows up in your weakness, and His power works through your surrender.
You don’t have to be perfect or fearless. You just have to say yes.
