Perhaps you are thinking, “I want a prophetic word for me”
You may have arrived here because you want something more personal than a general video, sermon or daily encouragement. Maybe you are in a season of waiting, transition or uncertainty. Maybe you simply want someone to pray without first being told what is happening in your life.
A personal prophetic word can be meaningful when it is approached as prayerful Christian encouragement rather than fortune telling. It may confirm something God has already been highlighting, strengthen you in a difficult season, bring a biblical theme into focus or offer a perspective to pray about.
What is a personal prophetic word?
A personal prophetic word is an individually prepared message from someone who has prayed and listened for what they believe the Holy Spirit may be highlighting for you. Because Christians “know in part and prophesy in part” (1 Corinthians 13:9), it should always be weighed and tested.

What a prophetic word should not become
It should not make you dependent on the person giving it. It should not claim infallibility, replace Scripture or pressure you into a major choice. It should never be used as the sole basis for a medical, legal, financial or relationship decision.
Healthy prophecy leaves room for testing, prayer, wise counsel and time. You remain responsible for your choices.
How RequestWord Personal Words are prepared
For a normal RequestWord Personal Prophetic Word, you provide basic details but you do not need to send your life story or a list of questions. Kevin sets aside time to pray and records a personal word, normally around 5 to 7 minutes, then it is delivered by email.
The current Personal Word page explains the estimated preparation time and the available contribution options. The support given helps make the time and practical work of the ministry possible. It does not buy access to God, and the amount does not determine the content or care given to the word.
The Personal Word page shows whether limited free Personal Word places are currently available. You can also send a free prayer request at any time.
What if I need an answer to specific questions?
A standard Personal Word intentionally begins without detailed background. If you need to explain a situation and want prayerful help working through specific questions about direction, calling, relationships or a complicated season, Prophetic Mentoring is designed for that deeper format.
How should I receive and test a prophetic word?
Listen prayerfully rather than trying to force every sentence to fit. Notice what agrees with Scripture and what seems to confirm something God may already have been doing in your life. Write down what is useful. Set aside anything that does not resonate or cannot yet be tested.
If a word contains something important or directional, give it time. Our guide How to Test a Prophetic Word gives a practical framework for weighing what you hear.
Do I need a prophetic word right now?
Not necessarily. Sometimes what you most need is prayer, Scripture, rest, wise counsel or enough clarity for one next step. If your deeper prayer is really “God, speak to me,” you may want to begin with I Need a Word From God. It is written to help you seek God directly before deciding whether personal ministry would be useful.
Before making a request, you can read how to request personal prophecy wisely. For practical questions about the process, timing, support, discernment and current availability, see the frequently asked questions.
How can I get or request a Personal Prophetic Word?
You can read exactly what to expect before submitting anything. There is no need to decide on this page.

A prophetic word can encourage, strengthen and sometimes bring helpful confirmation. It should point you toward God, not replace Him. Keep Scripture, prayer, wisdom and mature counsel around whatever you receive.
