About The Author

janet portrait 4

My name is Janet Giessl. I’m a disciple and servant of Jesus Christ (Present-Day Prophetic Scribe according to Matthew 13:52) sharing God’s Word, Love, and Truth and leading people to Jesus Christ so they can be reconciled with God according to Matthew 28:16–20 and become disciples of Jesus Christ. I’m also a wife, mom, teacher, Christian Life Coach, Christian Expressive and Therapeutic Art Coach, author, blogger, and artist. I hold degrees in Education and Christian Leadership, along with credentials in Bible, Ministry, and Theology. I was born and raised as a Christian but struggled along my spiritual journey because I had a distracted heart and got curious in learning about so-called New Age teachings for quite some time. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. Titus 3:3 Fortunately, one day Jesus Christ appeared in my dreams and He saved me. I found salvation. I received a spiritual renewal and became a born-again Christian. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7 I’m so grateful for Jesus saved me and I’m fully walking with God. who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 2 Timothy 1:9 

Personal Faith Journey

My Faith Journey in Childhood/Adolescence

My faith journey is quite a roller coaster ride. I was born and raised as a Catholic since my parents were both Catholics. Until I became an adolescent, I had been practicing the Catholic belief and been active in the Catholic Church. When I was about 13 or 14, I was introduced to the Protestant belief by my best friend and I was totally astonished by the differences between both denominations. While I was still a Catholic, I also went to the Protestant Church from time to time and got active there. Though the Protestant Church accepted me being a Catholic, I knew it was wrong according to the Catholic Church.

My Faith Journey as an Adult

Then a time of withdrawing from both churches followed for many years. I only attended church occasionally and I didn’t read the Bible. I believed in God and in Jesus Christ but I had no relationship with God. I was not walking with God. When I met my husband who was baptized as a Georgian Orthodox, I left both the Catholic and the Protestant Church and agreed to get baptized in the Georgian Orthodox Church so we could marry in an Orthodox Church. Though I was baptized in a Georgian Orthodox Church, I have never been able to identify myself with this denomination. I lived many years as a lukewarm Christian.

My Two-Year Experience With New Age/Occultism

Being a lukewarm Christian, however, left me unsatisfied and grew in me a hunger to find the truth. Since I wasn’t saved back then, satan took advantage of my hunger and led me on a path that was dangerous and wrong. For two years starting in 2017, I dabbled in the New Age movement and occult practices like astrology, tarot, yoga, qi gong, shamanism, numerology, chakras, aura, starseeds, earth angels, etc.,

My Salvation

Then Jesus appeared in my dreams and saved me. I became a born-again Christian (not a lukewarm Christian anymore) in 2019. Now when I look back at my time in the New Age and occult, I really feel ashamed because this was the time when I got deceived by satan and was gradually moving away from God. I’m so glad and grateful that Jesus, who appeared one night in a dream and pointed me to the Bible, saved me by His grace and I not only believed but also knew in my mind and heart that He died for our sins on the cross and resurrected to save us from eternal death which is the penalty for our sins. I believe and trust in Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength. Mark 12:30

Studying at Christian Leader’s Institute

After my salvation I started to look for Bible Schools online where I could study. Since my financial situation hadn’t allowed me to pay for a Bible School, God led me to the Christian Leader’s Insitute one day. I couldn’t believe that they offered Bible School and Ministry Classes for free and that those who had the money could pay for the studies of other students. I’m so grateful for and impressed by this generosity-driven model of CLI because it allows people who don’t have the financial means to study the Word of God and become Christian Leaders. Praise the Lord and thank Him for having led the founders of CLI to create this amazing generosity-driven ministry. May their ministry and life be blessed forever. I hope and pray to get the financial means to give back because “‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 Update: God has provided and I’m an Iron Vision Partner of CLI supporting others to be able to study at CLI. I started to study ministry at Christian Leaders Institute because I wanted to strengthen my faith and knowledge of God’s Word and share the Gospel and I felt called to go where God directed me to. After taking several really eye-opening and life-changing CLI classes, I got interested in taking the Life Coaching Ministry Class and becoming a certified Life Coach Minister (Life Coach Certification in 2020). As a teacher I have come across many people young and old who have been suffering in their life because they haven’t found their God-given calling and purpose yet. Some are deceived because they follow false unbiblical teachings like I used to follow before I got saved. I feel that being a Life Coach Minister equips me fully to help people find the life, calling, and purpose God has given them and to overcome their struggles in life. It is a great complement to my teaching and prophetic gift. I’m continuing my studies at Christian Leaders Institute as a lifelong student.

Online Ministry

After a time of growing in faith, studying the Bible, growing in my relationship with the Lord, growing in my spiritual gifts, God called me to and anointed me for ministry to spread His Word and share the truth with others, so that many people could also be saved as He saved me. God led me to the Apostolic-Prophetic Scribal Ministry of Theresa Harvard Johnson where I have received teachings and education about the Scribal Anointing. This helped me to finally find and understand my identity and calling in Christ as a Present-Day Prophetic Scribe (Matthew 13:52). The Holy Spirit inspired me to create two Online Ministries Wisdom From Heaven” (Biblical Health and Wellness Ministry) and “Creative Walk With Christ” (Christian Expressive and Therapeutic Art). 

Being Led To Pursue a Bachelor’s Degree

In 2020 I felt led by God to pursue a Bachelor Degree. I hadn’t thought about studying for another degree being in my 40s. Actually, I thought my former degrees were sufficient. Somehow I had several dreams from God in which He made clear that I wasn’t finished with studying yet and that I needed to obtain another degree because this new degree would confirm the calling and ministry from God on my life which the former degrees hadn’t done. The endorsements I received from my husband and two Christian Leaders supported and confirmed the leading of God regarding my studies. I’m really excited and blessed to be on this journey God has put me on and I’m looking forward to where He is leading me! I completed the Bachelor of Christian Leadership Degree on May 21, 2024.

My Ordination Journey

At the end of 2023 I started my ordination path. The Deacon Minister Ordination will confirm and affirm my calling, which I have felt my whole life. It will open new doors of opportunities to serve the Lord through formal recognition of the ministry work. The ordination path is laying a good foundation for my calling into Biblical Health and Wellness as well as Christian Expressive and Therapeutic Art. It has also revealed that I’m called more as a Kingdom Minister outside the traditional church, involving business and ministry beyond the walls. I aim to build others up through biblical teaching on health, wellness, and expressive and therapeutic art online and hopefully also in person. My hope is to see people heal in whole-person wellbeing as they walk closely with God. This free ministry training and ordination has opened new opportunities and perspectives, confirming my calling. This ordination will help me get more formally involved in my community and connect with others in ministry, to help expand the reach of my online work.

Further Study

I plan to continue studying at CLI and pursue more training related to my calling and ministry.
I have been studying at Axx Bible College, where I felt led to pursue a certification in Pastoral Ministry. Even though my calling is in prophetic scribal ministry, I was drawn to this program because I wanted to learn more about pastoral care, pastoral counseling, leadership, and Kingdom Ministry. I believe that these areas of study will equip me with skills and insights that will not only deepen my understanding of ministry but also strengthen my ability to serve others more effectively. This journey is helping me build a strong foundation that I can bring into my calling as a prophetic scribe, where I creatively share the Gospel and minister to others.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

We are a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian Ministry trained and equipped at the Christian Leaders Institute. Even though our Ministry is based on God's Word, the Bible, you need to approach our teachings like the Bereans and always study the Bible yourself to see if what we teach is aligned with what is written in the Bible.  

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV  

We are only humans who 'stumble in many ways' (James 3:2) and we only 'know in part and we prophesy in part' (1 Corinthians 13:9).
