I grew up in Sydney, Australia, and my family was actively involved in an Anglican church (evangelical). After leaving school I had three different office jobs, then I grew tired of the heat in Sydney and moved south.
In 1996 the church I was attending looked like it was going to fold due to dwindling numbers. I decided to find another church to attend. Over the next ten years I attended five different churches, but failed to settle in any of them. I think my longest stint in any one place was six months.
In 2006 I finally settled into my current church. And in 2009 I asked the Lord, "What is my thing supposed to be within the Body of Christ?" A voice literally whispered into my left ear, "Knowledge." And I wasn't even asleep! Since then I have learned about prophecy and dream interpretation. You really can have the other side of the prayer conversation if you want it!
I grew up in a churchgoing family in Sydney, and always believed. At the age of nine I went forward anyway at a Billy Graham Crusade at the Sydney Cricket Ground. When I was sixteen years old, I kept telling God that He had to get a certain girl for me. He consistently refused, so in the end I gave up and said, "Okay, from now on you're the boss. But you have to enable me to live without her!" You know what they say - be careful what you pray for! He did enable me to live without her, and I'm still single. Which is not really His fault, as I turned out to be lazy and cowardly, and not particularly committed to finding someone. Maybe he had her best interests in mind, not mine! Anyway, by the time I turned 35 I felt that I had more to lose than to gain by finding someone, so I crossed that issue off the agenda.
Way back in the 1990's the church I attended went thru a little exercise where they handed out certificates to people with various gifts. This was just to encourage more people to exercise their gifts. Well, they gave me a certificate saying that I had the gift of prophecy. That was hilarious to me, because they didn't even believe that the gift was available any more! When I asked what they meant, they told me that their definition of prophecy in the church is this: someone who can see how the Word of God applies to modern society has the gift of prophecy. The last laugh is on them, because now God gives me prophetic dreams! They commissioned me in a gift that they didn't believe was still available, and God gave it to me!
