The Prophetic Ministry School will equip you to learn how to receive, incubate and release the Word of God given to you as a missionary disciple wanting to walk in the Holy Spirit. It will prepare you to start living a lifestyle worthy of a child of God who wants to build up, encourage and exhort the Body of Christ and through using revelatory gifts of the Holy Spirit to build the Kingdom of God in your home, place of work, local church, and any public space.
To become a carrier of the Mover's desire is to become The Word's lover, Spirit's follower, and Father's servant. We will learn from the mystics and saints who had to deal with their personality traits, past and hurting situations that would possibly drive many to quit the ministry but for them, it strengthened their call and built their character.

HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD
JONNA AND JIM SCHUSTER - Catholic Revival Ministries
“My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” - John 10:27
Jesus taught that his disciples would readily and easily hear his voice, yet many struggle to grow in intimacy with God, perceiving Him as distant or silent. The Hearing God's Voice session opens participants up to a lifestyle of intimacy with the Lord by teaching the various “languages” God speaks in, how to discern His voice from among other voices, and how to steward ongoing connection with Him. More than a set of teachings, it offers an interactive, hands-on experience where participants have the opportunity to put these tools into practice and receive guidance in understanding the unique way God speaks to them.
Topics:
God is Still Speaking - How to hear God and not miss Him
The Languages of God - How to sharpen natural and supernatural faculties - what is real, what is me, what is ‘other’ voice
Evaluating and Interpreting the Message - Which personal and ecclesial filters to apply to land safely
After presenting on how to hear God’s voice, we will activate participants in the basics of how to prophesy
Each session will include activations and practices relating to the topics, prophetic prayer ministry, Q and A, as well as time for lunch break and two short coffee breaks.
Jonna Schuster is a graduate of the University of Illinois and Christendom Graduate School, with degrees in Graphic Design and Moral Theology, respectively. She spent 10 years as a full-time Director of Youth Ministry in the diocese of Arlington, VA, before which she served for two years as the first Campus Minister at Western Illinois University.

Topics:
Praying with the Heart of Jesus: Psalms and Biblical Songs - Moses and David, Worshippers of I AM WHO I AM
Biblical Dreams and Visions - God speaks in the night and calls us to intercession
Prophetic Singing from the Father’s Heart - Developing skills to pray and sing prophetically over yourself, your family, circumstances, and groups of people to bring the Kingdom of God reality down

SESSION 3
NOVEMBER 11 , 10 AM - 4 PM
LIFESTYLE OF A PROPHET
IWONA BEDNARZ-MAJOR - Stone to Flesh
Instead of chasing after the spectacular gifts of God, we need to lay down our lives and become prophetic forerunners of Jesus, radically loving from His Heart, boldly following His compassionate teaching, and actively participating in shaping the Church’s mission. Embracing the charisms flowing from our baptism, we step into the unseen world of love and spiritual powers that angels, saints, and mystics are inviting us into. Developing prophetic gifts we will see the change first in our lives and then bring it into the world dying in worshipping itself instead of turning to the Creator.
Topics:
Prophets Then and Now - Daniel & St. Hildegard von Bingen: Prophets of their times - from visions and dreams to leadership with radical and humble hearts
Revelatory Gifts in the New Testament: words of knowledge, words of wisdom, prophecy - how to develop and cultivate biblical prophetic gifts
Prophets in today’s Church - living in tension from the Heart of Jesus - lifestyle, preparation for ministry, and becoming a messenger in today’s culture which tries to mimic prophetic but leads to confusion
Each session will include activations and practices relating to the topics, prophetic prayer ministry, Q and A, as well as time for lunch break and two short coffee breaks.
Iwona Bednarz-Major is a founder, creator, and Director of Stone to Flesh Community and its flagship programs, School of the Heart and FLOW Mentoring and Networking Platform. She has been a missionary in Russia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and USA since 1991. With all three adults children living in the Los Angeles area, she has become a Specialist of St. Hildegard’s sciences, continuing her interest in the healing of a whole person.
