Welcome to Discernment Lab! The Lord gave me the name of this ministry in 2023. After bringing me out of lukewarmth & mixture one entire night crying in my room, I rededicated myself to the Lord and it was made clear it was time to start this channel, which I had resisted for 2 years. God has led me to focus on:
1. Biblical Literacy & Making Disciples (Teaching the Word!)
2. Kingdom Over Culture (Contextualizing Godly Living)
3. Helping Others Prioritize Discernment Over Delusion
4. Sharing prophetic words, words of knowledge, etc. the Lord gives me through visions and/or dreams.
On this channel, we flow with the Holy Spirit in all things and ways. I pray you're empowered and uplifted!
A little about me: I am an MBA graduate. My Bachelor of Science is in Education. I am a prophetic teacher, dreamer, and watchman. I'm also a former worship pastor, and I spent time traveling & leading worship years ago at various churches all over Brazil - singing in both Portuguese and English.

Discernment Tribe,
The Holy Spirit led me to do a teaching on this earlier this morning. I pray it blesses you and you grow to much higher levels in your spiritual life in 2026, and I want to empower you to do that. But I also know I need to teach it.
If you want to identify what office(s) you operate in, you can take a free test here, so I would do that first: fivefoldministry.com/
You need to know where you are, so you can understand where you're going.
I ran out of slides, but according to what I'm teaching you in today's post, I'm going to share myself as an example, so you know how this works.
My primary 2 offices are: Prophet and Teacher
So because I do not primarily operate in the other 3 roles of apostle, evangelist, or pastor, I find and have mentors in each of these offices, so my growth is always expanding.
Apostolic Mentors: Apostles Jane Hamon and Isi Igenegba
Evangelistic Mentor: Mike Signorelli
Pastoral Mentor: John Kilpatrick (I have a hard time trusting MOST pastors in general, but let me tell you. I trust this man IMPLICITLY, and I will tell that to anyone. He is the real deal if I've EVER seen it.)
And then of course, the majority of my mentors are also operating in the two offices where I need the most mentorship:
Prophetic Mentors: Dr. Arleen Westerhoff, Jeremiah Johnson, James Goll, Barbie Breathitt, Jane Hamon
Teacher Mentors: Kevin Zadai, James Goll, Dr. Voddie Bauchum (may he rest in peace, he's STILL one of the greatest teachers I've EVER seen or learned under!!!), John MacArthur
Make sure you're operating in your true spiritual gifts and offices, sitting under mentors you've vetted with the Holy Spirit and with discernment, and your spiritual walk will accelerate beyond what you can know next year!
Love you,
T

So, I have a dream log specifically for celebrities I’ve had dreams about. I don’t share them publicly unless the Lord guides me to. About a month ago, I had a dream about 50 Cent. It was the dream I shared with you all in this video: https://youtu.be/jq5gl_N29hk?si=pmPoN...
I believe I also shared this dream in this video: https://youtu.be/DoPj49iudZI?si=K5ROs...
In the dream, I was dating 50 Cent (this was NOT prophetic okay? 😂) and this was the dream I shared where we were at a garage where he needed to pick something up and I was attacked at his truck by another man and he was not able to get to me because he had gone inside this garage/warehouse type place and the gates were on timers. So I had to rely on the Lord to keep me safe. It’s the dream I shared with you where this man was pumping some substance up my nose and I wasn’t passing out and he became frustrated.
That dream carried multiple meanings. Often, if a celebrity randomly plays a role in a dream like this, the Holy Spirit is asking us to intercede for this person. Celebrities are just people, so we need to not see it any other way. It also doesn’t matter if they’re saved or not, living for Christ or not. God loves Curtis Jackson, period.
The day after I had that dream, 50 Cent was on Fox News sharing about a new show he produced. I was floored! I prayed for him then.
Now, he is sharing unreleased Diddy footage in a new Netflix documentary that is ruffling feathers and exposing more stuff that never came out.
It is significant that he was “behind gates” or “behind bars” in my dream. I don’t believe this is prophetic that he’s going to prison or jail but instead that this is a call to pray for him to be able to continue to be courageous and “break out” from behind those proverbial bars. That he is advocating for and wanting truth to come out. This is going to put a target on 50’s back if he didn’t already have one.
Also, God can and WILL use ANYONE or anything as part of His plans.
So, for those of you who intercede and pray, I would like to make a call for us to pray for Curtis Jackson, or if you’d rather, 50 Cent. God knows him regardless of what He goes by. And if God asks me to pray for a person I do it. NO q’s asked.

Hi Discernment Family,
I have been trying to rest and recover from traveling, spent Thanksgiving day with family, eating and playing games, and finishing up Christmas styling in my home.
I want to say how grateful I am you are here in this community, and I hope you enjoy my Chicago vlog. I just posted that last night here: https://youtu.be/dvrCxoOf_4g?si=saMUr...
Also, check out the full blog that has more content here: discernmentlab.com/blog/
While I don't get into the gift-giving thing for Christmas, I DO love to decorate my home seasonally, and I love the buzz around this time of year. The lights, hot cocoa, baking, music, COLD WEATHER, just all of it. I've been doing it for YEARS, and it's one of my favorite things to do. Having an organized, beautiful space helps me stay focused and keeps my mind and my spirit clear, so I can hone in on other things once it's done. Oddly enough, it also helps me think about what's really important, which isn't buying a slew of gifts and stressing myself out about who wants what. I update my home every Spring/Summer, Fall, & Winter, and I enjoy the holiday season without all the "you're supposed to's." And that is what works for me.
I'll see you this week back in the lab! We are continuing our Acts series. Beyond that, I'm waiting on the Lord because honestly, I have been having SO MANY DREAMS that I can barely keep up. The Lord has been giving me almost 2-3 PER NIGHT, and I can barely keep up with them in my journal. I had about 6 dreams while I was in Chicago alone. So, I don't rush the process with him. There is one dream I had before I went to Chi town where I know the Lord has something for us, and I've been slowly putting that word together, but I think there is much more that is tied to some of these other dreams I've had. Several of the dreams are also personal, so sifting through them to see what is to be shared publicly is also part of the process.
See you soon,
T

Good morning, discernment fam. I’m headed to spend a day at a world-renowned spa today here in Chicago. Feeling VERY blessed. Last night, I had a dream about a Dallas pastor. I believe he is struggling with some things. I didn’t feel released to share the name of the person or more detail. You would probably never know it. 😔 So please just intercede for all pastors in the Dallas area, and that will cover it. Thank you. 🙏🏽

Good morning, discernment fam. I have a few things on my heart to share. This is for those who are locked in here, love following how God speaks in the prophetic, and who are interested in prayer. (Or maybe just like following my life). All of these are okay. lol! Thank you for being here.
1. Emotional Stewardship Prophetic Word. Before I left on my trip, I posted a notice about some upcoming videos. Well I wasn’t actually able to record them all before my trip, so they’re still coming. :-) I had a dream recently, and the Lord gave me a lot from it, but one of the things is about stewarding emotions in this hour. (Be looking for release of that after Thanksgiving). I wasn’t looking for confirmation, but the Lord always has His own ways of confirming His words to me, so on my way to the hotel in the Uber from the airport, I looked up and saw this bus in front of us that said, “Emotionair.” Ha! Confirmation received, Lord.
2. 1212 Confirmations. I’m getting ready to announce my new company and newest creative venture soon. The development of the ecomm shop was WAY outside of my scope of knowledge, so for the first time ever, I had to hire a contract developer on Upwork to design the shop for me. I worked with an excellent developer in Bangladesh on the shop, and he was so kind and professional. However, not only did it cost more than I had anticipated, which extended the timeline over a month, but it took another month to get it exactly how I wanted it with rigorous testing. I can’t wait to reveal what I’ve been working on with you, but if you want a hint, it is tied to a prophetic word I gave about the number 1212 here after taking a YouTube sabbatical for 40 days: https://youtu.be/ZScV8xhO31o?si=qY8cA... :-) And since I started designing and creating this company, the Lord hasn’t STOPPED showing me that number EVERYWHERE! I see 12:12 on the clock, usually multiple times a day. I see emails sent at 12:12pm. I see it literally everywhere constantly. While in Chicago, I looked up and guess what time it was on this clock?! 12:12. You can’t make this stuff up. :-)
3. Twins and Double Portion Confirmation. Last night, after a 2-hour walking interiors tour of various buildings in Chicago (I did with a group), I was on my way back to the hotel with a very sweet, nice uber driver. We had a wonderful conversation, and mid-way through the ride, she just casually says to me, “I have twins.” You guys, I about came up out of my seat! For those of you who have seen recent prophetic words I’ve given: https://youtu.be/XEIXf8KZgHc?si=77IjJ... and https://youtu.be/7EIwU53-kC8?si=ZKuen..., you understand the twins reference. This was the Lord confirming (for now about the 5th time to me), about the double portion blessing on its way to those who have been obedient and consecrated to Him. She could’ve just said to me, “I have two kids” or “I have children” or “I have boys at home.” But instead, she said, “I have twins at home…..” She chose those words, and that was NOT an accident! My spirit leaped within me when she said twins. My God.
4. Chicago Principality(ies). For those who are new here, you won’t know this, but I shared earlier this year that the Lord had said He was going to take me to multiple cities and show me entire principalities hovering over states in the US. (This is always for the purpose of intercession). I shared information about this in this video from my summer vacation: https://youtu.be/VEuyszUcWfM?si=qKhQd.... The Lord used a song while I was in Cali to show me this, and it was completely the Lord, since I don’t listen to secular music purposely, and it was truly out of the blue I started singing and humming this song. His word was clear. So, now being in Chicago, He’s already shown me a few things/spirits here, and I’m going to do my best to articulate one of them. I’ll talk much more about this in the Chicago Vlog later, but so far, I’ve definitely gotten (surprisingly), a very prevalent spirit of homosexuality here (lotssss of this), and also what I heard the Holy Spirit term as a “spirit of lethargy.” And I was shown this last night, while on our walking tour, as I walked by a woman sitting on the curb looking out into the distance and her eyes were completely somewhere else. It felt like I could’ve waved my hand in front of her face, and her eyes wouldn’t have moved. Somehow, I knew she wasn’t on drugs, but instead was being held by a spirit of complete lethargy. Zero energy or enthusiasm about life. There’s no telling what she’s been through. Had I not been on that tour, I would’ve stopped and engaged her in conversation. I can’t tell you how bad I’ve felt that I didn’t do it anyway. Who cares? Why didn’t I stop? A principality is not just one demonic spirit - it’s a governmental network of spirits. So, I’m going out again today (free day with no agenda) and we’ll see what God shows me, but this is what He’s shown me so far. Since a principality is an entire government of spirits, I know there’s more to come still, and Chicago is but one city in the state of Illinois.
5. The Gold Coast. When I got the idea to go on a winter vacation, immediately I heard Chicago. I felt like it was the Lord, as I’ve never been to Chicago, didn’t necessarily have that on my list of “desired places to go”, and didn’t understand why that city came to mind. Once I started looking at Chicago on a map, all of a sudden, I saw “The Gold Coast” everywhere, and I was FLOORED. God had been showing me gold references for an entire month before this trip, and I believe one of the reasons, was so that I would know Chicago is where I was supposed to go. I’m telling you all - the Lord is really unbelievable. Sometimes, I just sit and can’t even say anything to Him, because I am in utter awe at who He is. The Chicago Gold Coast earned its gilded nickname in the 1880s, when the city's wealthiest residents began building magnificent mansions along the lakefront. Following the devastating Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Chicago's elite saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary—a neighborhood that would rival New York's Fifth Avenue and Boston's Beacon Hill. And there’s gold everywhere too. It’s in so many buildings, including one we went into last night, where a million pounds of gold were hand-laid on the ceilings of this building. Beyond stunning. Another thing I felt led to do was look for a church to attend while here, which I don’t usually do on vacation. Lo and behold, I found Soul City Church, went to their website, and guess what was the first thing I saw on a popup on their site? A huge golden calf, drenched with the words, “the new gods we worship.” My entire life is prophetic. I couldn’t have fabricated that even if I desired to! Check out their “new gods” series on their YouTube channel: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE...
I think this is all I have to share right now, and now it’s noon here, so I want to get moving. Thanks to those of you who rock with me, not just in video form, but also in audio form and written form. If you haven’t noticed, this is an enriching place to be, and that is always my goal. I don’t do surface-level anything in life, so growth is always the goal.
Please pray for the city of Chicago. 🏙️
Talk soon and love you,
T
