15 Minutes With Jesus

I want to encourage you to listen to this program which my Lord Jesus has given me to publish every week: 15 Minutes With Jesus. A little history to the fact: about one year ago I finally decided to set aside Saturday, every week, as a day for God; not in the sense of keeping the Sabbath, but rather as a day for Him in which I don’t do my own work, or my own pleasure, but rather I seek only to do what He would have me do that day; set aside for Him. Shortly after making that commitment to Him, the Lord spoke to my heart and told me that because I had honored Him, He was going to honor me. Then a few days later Jesus told me He wanted me to do a 15 minute program. Almost immediately the name 15 Minutes With Jesus came up in my heart, also the scripture, Matt 18:20, Jesus said, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. So I spend time during the week in the scriptures and prayer, seeking the Lord and every week He gives me the Words He would have me share with you. We pray before every broadcast and seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit when we do the program. So as Darlene and I gather together in Jesus name with you, if you can receive it, we will be in His presence and receiving from Him the edification, exhortation and comfort He is giving us. Jesus said, The Words I speak, they are Spirit and they are life.

Are You Really A Prophetess?

November 15, 2025 • Robert Haymes

Let me ask you a question: is there anything that you have prophesied that has come to pass?

Are You Really A Prophetess?

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Amen, Father; thank you Father. We come to you in Jesus’ name, thanking you for your Word; your Word is the truth, and that’s what we want, is the truth, thank you Lord. We want to love the truth, and we want to do the truth, thank you Father, so, Bless this program Father, Amen, in Jesus’ name.

Today’s program is a question: Are you really a prophetess? Let’s turn to 1 Cor 14:3, But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. Ok, verse 26, How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 1 Cor 12:4, There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Verse 27, Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way. Let’s go there and read about it.

1 Cor 13:1, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. As you can see by these scripture, prophecy is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. It is He who is speaking through the person, not the person themselves; it is always for the edification, exhortation, and comfort of the people to whom He is speaking. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit. In other words, when a person prophesies, they are speaking by the Holy Spirit; it is not them speaking, as in Mat 10:19 & 20, where Jesus said, It is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Let’s go to Deut 18: 21, wow, I wasn’t expecting this, but I believe it is the will of the Lord for me to read these scriptures, verse 15, The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, according to all you desired of the Lord your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die. And the Lord said to me: What they have spoken is good. (This is Moses) I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My Words, which He speaks in My name, ( That’s Jesus) I will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?—when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

So, this is the real test: if someone, male or female, claims to be a prophet, or a prophetess, if they are true, then the thing which they prophecy will come to pass. Today we are talking about prophetesses. Looking through the Bible, I found about 11 women who were called prophetesses, or who prophesied and what they said came to pass. Let’s go to Ex 15:20. In Exodus 15, Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, was called a prophetess. Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them: Sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! I did not find where she prophesied, but I certainly did not find where she prophesied falsely. I believe the sister of Moses and Aaron was a true prophetess. Isaiah’s wife is called “the prophetess”. It does not say that she prophesied, but one of the Hebrew meanings of the word prophetess is the wife of a prophet.

Deborah, in Judges 4:4, was a prophetess, and a judge of Israel. Let’s go there, Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time. And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. Then she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun; and against you I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand? And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go! So she said, I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. What she prophesied came to pass.

In 2 Kings 22, King Josiah, a righteous king, sent men to inquire of the Lord regarding the judgement of God that was to come upon Judah for their evil deeds, as described in the Book of the Law, which Hilkiah the priest found when they were restoring the Temple. The men went to Huldah the prophetess. 2 Kings 22:11, Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes. Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Michaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, Go, inquire of the Lord for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the Words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that is aroused against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the Words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us. So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke with her. Then she said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man who sent you to Me, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will bring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants—all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read—because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath shall be aroused against this place and shall not be quenched. But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Concerning the words which you have heard—because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, says the Lord. Surely, therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place. So they brought back word to the king. All the things that Huldah prophesied came to pass. So she was certainly a true prophetess of God.

Next, I found Anna, in Luke 2:36, Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. You think maybe she might have been a true prophetess? And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem. Mary, the mother of Jesus, prophesied, and what she said came to pass. Her cousin Elizabeth also prophesied, being full of the Holy Spirit, and what she said came to pass. Phillip the evangelist, one of the Seven, had four daughters who were virgins and they prophesied. I do not believe that Phillip raised four daughters who were false prophetesses, based on who he was and what his ministry was like.

The scripture also mentions the husbands of some of these women who were prophetesses of God. Miriam was subject to Moses; Isaiah’s wife was subject to him. Anna’s husband, Deborah’s husband, and Huldah’s husbands are mentioned. A true prophetess of God will always be subject to her head, her husband, as unto the Lord. She will not try to use her gift to usurp authority over her husband or over men in the Church. If she is single, she will be concerned about the Lord and how to please Him.

False prophets raise up false prophetesses, by a lying spirit of divination. If, when they say to you, “You are a prophetess”, and you believe it and receive it into your heart, it will affect your whole life. Let me ask you a question: if you believe that you are a prophetess, no condemnation here, can you tell me something you prophesied that came to pass? Deborah prophesied, and it came to pass; Huldah prophesied, and it came to pass; Mary prophesied, and it came to pass; Elizabeth prophesied, and it came to pass. They all prophesied by the Holy Spirit, not lying divination. The Holy Spirit, Jesus said, will glorify Him. If you are a true prophetess, you will be speaking by the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus and to exalt Him! If you prophecy and it doesn’t come to pass, it’s not the Holy Spirit speaking through you. He is the Spirit of Truth. It is a lying divination, or a vision of your own heart, and you need to repent and stop talking, and be a saint who loves Jesus; who loves the Father; who loves her husband, and her children. Mary Magdalene was not a prophetess, but she loved Jesus a lot! And He honored her very much: as she was the first person that He appeared to when He rose from the dead. If you give the Devil place, he will take it. Just because you are born again, baptized in water, and have the Holy Spirit, that does not mean you cannot yield to the Devil. If he lies to you, and you receive it, you are giving him place. The scripture says, Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

So, those of you who believe you are a prophetess, I ask you to humble yourself before your Lord Jesus Christ, and seek Him and ask Him, “Lord, am I really a prophetess?” And be willing to repent and be cleansed by His Blood. He loves you, and He gave Himself upon the Cross for you, not to condemn you, but to save you and give you eternal life with Him in His Kingdom. He loves you and He will straighten things out in your life if you will come to Him.
