Prophetic Word for Christian Therapists and Life Coaches
Prophetic Word for Christian Therapists and Life Coaches
This message is specifically for Christian therapists, counselors, life coaches, and Christian leaders who are called to care for souls. Since the pandemic, we’ve lived inside a sustained mental health crisis. And while the headlines change, the need has not. In fact, the Spirit of God has shown me there is more stretching ahead. I share this word to help you spiritually and practically prepare so you can carry what’s coming with grace.
A Dream and a Mandate
On July 22, 2023, the Lord gave me two dreams. On August 19, 2023, He released the full revelation. In the first dream, I was traveling across a crowded bridge. Vehicles were jammed; horns blared; anxiety filled the air. The bridge had no side rails, and some began to slide off, falling to their deaths. In the second scene, I stood in an office suite packed with people waiting to see a therapist, doctor, or counselor. Lines were long. Needs were urgent. I shared, briefly, how the Lord delivered me from crippling anxiety years ago—and then I woke up.
As I sought the Lord, He impressed two things:
Borrowed faith won’t carry people in this hour.
The family in my dream reminded me of people who hope they’ll be “covered” simply because a grandmother or friend knows the Lord. But the Spirit said plainly: this is an hour of personal surrender and personal relationship with Jesus. “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16, ESV) Your proximity to a believer won’t save you—Jesus will.Whole-person care will be in high demand.
The crowded office represented an intensified need for ethical, skilled, and Spirit-led care: therapy, coaching, and integrated support for mind, body, and spirit. We need professionals who can hold both clinical wisdom and biblical truth—without confusion and without compromise.
Why You’re Reading This
One of my mandates from the Lord is to equip Mental Health Professionals, Counselors, and Life Coaches to serve with integrity—integrating evidence-based practice with biblical worldview and Spirit-led discernment. Whether your clients are believers or not, God is summoning a company of helpers who can skillfully tend to emotional, cognitive, and spiritual realities—ethically and compassionately.
If you feel the nudge to go deeper with God and sharpen your tools but you’re unsure how to proceed, take this as your confirmation: prepare now. That is why I built EmPowered Purpose Academy and why I mentor Christian therapists and train Christian Life Coaches—so you don’t have to choose between clinical excellence and Spirit-led ministry. You can honor both.
Lessons From My Journey
I’ve been a licensed therapist for nearly 15 years and have served in prophetic ministry even longer. Before the pandemic, my private practice felt slow. I was faithful, praying, fasting, and doing the work—yet my caseload hovered around 5–10 clients per week. I grew weary and considered quitting. In that window, the Lord confronted me: “Do not step out of position. Souls are attached to your obedience.” I repented. He restored my mantle—and within a week the pandemic hit. My caseload jumped to nearly 30 clients weekly, while I homeschooled my children, launched a nonprofit, and led prayer gatherings. Was it intense? Absolutely. But I was ready because God had stretched my capacity in the “slow” season.
Takeaway: Your “quiet” season is not wasted; it is training. Steward it. Strengthen your prayer life. Study. Get certified. Organize your systems. Clarify your ethical boundaries. Build what God tells you to build—even if you can’t see the full reason yet.
The Prophetic Emphasis for This Hour
Personal Surrender: We can no longer ride the coattails of another’s faith. This is a time to cultivate your own intimacy with Jesus—Word, prayer, obedience. (John 15:1–5; James 4:8)
Integrated Care: People need whole-person support. Not everything is a demon; not everything is purely cognitive. We need practitioners who can discern root issues and respond wisely with appropriate tools—prayer, referrals, trauma-informed care, deliverance when biblically warranted, grief work, nervous system regulation, and more. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Preparation Over Panic: The Lord is not calling us to fear; He is calling us to readiness. Prepared hearts. Prepared offices. Prepared teams. Prepared frameworks. (Proverbs 24:27; 2 Timothy 4:2)
If You’re a Life Coach: Start Now
Some of you have delayed training because you’re busy, unsure, or battling imposter syndrome. Hear this in love: stop delaying. Get trained. Get covered. Get organized. The harvest is plentiful, but clarity and credibility matter.
Practical next steps for Life Coaches:
Complete a credible, Christian Life Coach Certification that honors Scripture and teaches you coaching skills, ethics, goal-setting models, assessments, and boundaries.
Build a simple client journey: intake → assessment → goals → sessions → review → closure.
Prepare forms and policies: informed consent, coaching agreement, scope of practice, referral list (for therapy, psychiatry, medical care, financial counseling, etc.).
Create a ministry-safe workflow: pray with permission, document neutrally, refer when issues are outside coaching scope (suicidality, psychosis, active substance dependence, etc.).
If you need a Christ-centered program that blends skill with anointing, my Academy certifies Christian Life Coaches and equips you with tools you can use immediately.
If You’re a Therapist: Lead With Wisdom
For emerging clinicians: the path to licensure is long—degrees, internships, supervised hours, exams. Begin now. For seasoned clinicians: many of you ask how to ethically integrate faith without crossing lines at work. It’s possible—and it’s needed.
Practical next steps for Therapists:
Review your state board rules and employer policies. Know your scope, documentation standards, and accommodation options for client-initiated faith conversations.
Build a faith-sensitive toolkit: values-consistent CBT/ACT interventions, grief protocols, trauma-informed stabilization, referral network for pastoral care and deliverance ministries that operate with accountability.
Practice ethical integration: Let clients lead; gain informed consent; use spiritually-congruent interventions only when appropriate; document clinically; avoid coercion.
If you want structured support, my mentorship for Christian therapists focuses on ethical integration, treatment planning, and practical, faith-honoring care.
The Bridge, the Crowd, and the Call
Back to the dream: the bridge with no guardrails revealed heightened fear and instability—cultural, emotional, and spiritual. People will try to “cross over” with anxiety and confusion. Some will lean on the faith of others rather than Jesus Himself. But the Lord is fortifying you to become a living guardrail—someone who helps people cross safely through biblically sound counsel, evidence-based practice, and Spirit-led compassion.
And that crowded office? It speaks to demand. Many will line up for help. Now is the time to prepare so you can receive them honorably:
Capacity: Strengthen your calendar systems, waitlist protocol, and referral partners.
Competence: Sharpen your skills and stay within scope.
Covering: Maintain a humble, holy life. Stay submitted to God, Scripture, and wise counsel.
Five Ways to Prepare This Month
Re-establish your daily altar. Word + worship + prayer. (Psalm 27:4; Matthew 6:6)
Clarify your scope. Write out what you do and do not provide. Create a referral sheet.
Choose your training path. Certification (coaches), CEUs/supervision (therapists), or both.
Build your client journey. From first contact to final session, map every step.
Create a crisis plan. Know what you’ll do if a client presents risk; have your local hotlines and procedures ready.
For Christian Leaders
The Lord is also having me build resources for Christian leaders—because unresolved heart issues sabotage assignments. I’ve written Ten Stumbling Blocks for Christian Leaders with audio teachings and assessments addressing imposter syndrome, unresolved trauma, perfectionism, pride, comparison, and more. This work helps you heal what would otherwise keep you repeating cycles.
Wealth and platform cannot sustain a soul that refuses refinement. Let God renew your mind and form your character so you can carry favor without collapse. (Romans 12:2; 3 John 2)
A Gentle but Urgent Invitation
If you feel the Lord tugging you:
Aspiring or current Christian Life Coach: Get trained in a Christ-centered, skill-rich certification so you can serve ethically and powerfully.
Aspiring or seasoned Christian therapists: Pursue mentorship that helps you integrate faith ethically, document cleanly, and practice with confidence.
Christian Leader: Confront the inner places that hinder your call so you can lead with purity and endurance.
Go where God leads you. If that’s with me, the EmPowered Purpose Academy is open to you—with certification for Christian Life Coaches and a mentorship track for Christian therapists. If He leads you elsewhere, obey quickly. The point is not where you train—the point is that you prepare.
Closing Prayer for Christian Therapists and Life Coaches
Holy Spirit, I thank You for every therapist, counselor, life coach, and leader reading this. Strengthen their hearts. Clarify their steps. Anoint their hands for whole-person care. Give them wisdom, boldness, and compassion. Surround them with covering and community. Prepare them to serve ethically, skillfully, and Spirit-led in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If this word isn’t for you, please share it with someone who needs it. If it is for you, respond: seek the Lord, take the next step, and prepare. The bridge is crowded—but you are not alone. God is raising up a company of ready helpers for this hour. If you want to listen to this message from the Lord, you can also visit my YouTube channel HERE!
FAQs
1) What does “prepare now” mean for Mental Health Professionals and Life Coaches?
Preparation means strengthening both your spiritual life and your professional systems: daily Word/prayer, clear scope of practice, an ethical referral network, updated forms (informed consent, agreements), a mapped client journey, and a crisis protocol. For coaches, complete a credible Christian Life Coach Certification; for therapists, pursue CEUs/supervision and faith-integration mentorship.
2) Can I ethically integrate faith into sessions if I’m a licensed therapist?
Yes—when it’s client-led, consented, and within your state board rules and employer policies. Use values-congruent interventions (e.g., CBT/ACT), gain informed consent, avoid coercion, document clinically (not devotionally), and refer when a matter falls outside scope (e.g., deliverance/pastoral care). Ethical integration honors both evidence-based practice and client autonomy.
3) What’s the difference between Christian Life Coaching and therapy in this context?
Therapy treats diagnosable mental health conditions and requires licensure; coaching focuses on goals, skills, and future-oriented growth without diagnosing or treating disorders. Coaches should maintain clear boundaries, use coaching tools (assessments, goal plans), and refer to therapists for clinical needs. Both can be Christ-centered and collaborative with proper scope.
4) Who is this prophetic word and training for—coaches, therapists, or church leaders?
All three. The word calls therapists to ethical, faith-sensitive care; life coaches to credible, Christ-centered training and structure; and Christian leaders to inner healing and character formation so they can sustain their assignment. If you serve people’s minds, hearts, or discipleship, this is for you.
5) How do I start if I feel called but overwhelmed?
Begin with a 30-day plan: (1) re-establish a daily altar (Word/prayer), (2) write your scope + referral list, (3) enroll in the next right training (coach certification or therapist mentorship), (4) build your intake-to-closure client journey, and (5) finalize a crisis plan with hotlines and local resources. Small, faithful steps create capacity for the demand ahead.
