Jennifer LeClaire’s Story
Greetings! I created this profile so that you could get to know me.
I’m Jennifer LeClaire. You might know me as contributing writer to Charisma magazine, or as the author of books like “The Heart of the Prophetic” and “Fervent Faith.” (This is my personal blog. My ministry web site is JenniferLeClaire.org.
If you are anything like me you have experienced some major challenges in your life.
Looking back, I am very thankful for the challenges I have overcome. I learned a great deal from them and they have ultimately made me a better person. I’m getting ahead of myself though!
You might be surprised to learn that I didn’t grow up in the church. I was born in Winter Garden, just outside of Orlando, Florida. As a youth, I visited Catholic churches with my neighbors on Easter and Christmas. I remember visiting a Presbyterian church on a military base once. I always believed in Jesus, but I didn’t come to the Lord until I was 30 years old. I’ve been sold out to God ever since.
The Challenge: Facing the Trials of Life Alone
Growing up was a long and sometimes painful road. As a teenager, I got involved in drugs and alcohol. I watched some of my friends go off the deep end in my early 20s, but managed not to follow down that road. Instead, I went to journalism school in Orlando and ended up getting married to a Mormon missionary.
One day, when my daughter was two years old, he got on a plane, went to Central America and never came back.
I was angry with God and remember screaming out, “Why did you let this happen?” I prayed a lot during those times and I am sure that God, in His mercy, did help me. But things in my life got worse before they got better.
I ended up landing in jail for a crime I didn’t commit. I spent 40 days there before I was released. I also lost every penny I had defending myself in court. And my business went belly-up in the dot-com bubble.
The Solution: Walking by Faith
Thank God, a well-known evangelistic group was touring with sports stars and actors who were giving their testimonies of Jesus. I gave my heart to the Lord and was prepared for whatever I might face.
It’s interesting…The first time I was exposed to a true prophet was in jail. I was in the Christian ward and a prophet came once a month and prophesied over people. The prophetic words he spoke came true. I was amazed.
Today, life is very good. I attend an on-fire church focused on winning souls and making disciples. I serve as a director of a re-entry program in the Miami-Dade County jail system. And I’ve written several books along the way.
In November 2007, I published my first book, The Heart of the Prophetic. Ernest Gentile, Graham Cooke, and R. Loren Sanford all offered their endorsements for the manuscript, which was both exciting and humbling. I’ve since written several additional books and plan to write many more as the Lord leads.
My passion is to see people equipped with the weapons to fulfill their purpose in Christ. Though I have a teaching ministry, I have learned that I can equip far more people through writing because books and magazines go around the world far quicker than I ever could.
When I write my books, it’s usually in response to personal challenges I’ve faced or issues the Lord wants me to address as a prophetic voice. My books are based on revelations God gave me concerning problems like wrestling with doubt, building spiritual maturity, doing spiritual warfare with the spirit of Jezebel and witchcraft, or learning how to get to the next level in my prophetic calling.
My prayer is that some of the struggles that I have faced and overcome can help you. I’m thankful for those that have reached out to help me and now I want to be able to give back. Whether you looking for the truth about how to operate in prophetic ministry, how to find the determination within yourself to pursue your dreams and destiny, or just need some encouragement along the way, I want to help you like others have helped me.

I have been stronger in the spirit and am still a novice…just tell people once in a while what I sense that the Lord wants them to know. However, am taking a class through Prophet Reeni.
What you are sending me is a series of lessons or a booklet that I can study from?
I am learning about the 10 m’s and I think that maybe you went through it the hard way…however I sense that doing it your path….it enable you to get closer to the Lord, closer than maybe I would only dream about.
God bless you and allow him to strength you even more…many blessings for many through you.

My name is Diego , I am originally from Argentina , I’m
living in USA , Atlanta ,GA.
I’m Jewish by birth, I keep my traditions, my roots, but believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as my Messiah, I also believe in the Holy spirit.
I’m married and my wife also believes, just recently we have a baby.
I look forward to receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and my spiritual eyes be opened,
I pray every day for it, but I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing.
I need help, I feel exposed before the enemy sometimes in the midst of my prayes I have ugly thinking.
I have anybody around me who can help me with this, because I’m still in my community and no one believes in Jesus, because they are Orthodox Jews,I can not be open with them, because it would be rejected.
. Could you please give me some,word of knowledge .
God wants me to continue staying with my people.Please add me to your list of prayer, I wish the supernatural life that you experience, I belive it is real
.Please help me.
Thank so Much
Shalom

Greetings in the Jesus name,
we are working in Pakistan….Ha very far…But we trust we are one in mission work. We are small Ministry and doing whatever is possible within our limited resources. Where we are preaching people have Non Biblical based doctrines.
So We decided to start a Seminary/Bible School, but we have very limited resources and they also can not read English Language.
We have vision of Bible School to teach the people what is True. For this we need Donors on monthly bases and Syllabus. Do God inspire you to support us if He does, make your effort right away.
Pray to God for our Mission work. Please Pray for us.

I am looking forward to reading this series and exploring your site. I understand that we are all gifted in prophecy, but recently (in the last year of so) someone told me I was called as a prophet…I am not sure about much with this as it is not taught in my church at all…I have so many questions…hopefully through your site i will find answers…God bless!
