🧭 Prophetic People—Do You Know Your “Tells”?
Let’s talk emotional awareness and spiritual clarity.
As prophetic people, we feel deeply. We sense atmospheres, carry burdens, and pick up on things others don’t. But with that comes a responsibility: we must learn to recognize when our soul is trying to speak louder than the Spirit.
I call them “tells.”
They’re the signs—emotional, mental, or even physical—that let you know your internal world is getting overloaded.
Here are a few of mine:
🔸 I get hyper-introspective and start projecting assumptions onto people.
🔸 I stop caring about my environment—clutter and chaos feel normal.
🔸 I withdraw, shut down, and isolate.
When I see these tells, I know I need to pause.
🙏 Go into worship.
📝 Journal and process with the Lord.
🧘♀️ Create space for rest, stillness, and recalibration.
👥 Sometimes I even say to a trusted friend: “I’m not thinking clearly right now—I need space to process.”
💥 Prophets must learn to steward the vessel, not just the word.
Unprocessed emotions can cloud discernment. Pain can start masquerading as prophecy. And that’s dangerous.
You can be emotionally honest and still walk in the Spirit.
You can feel deeply and still be wise.
So here’s my question for you:
What are your “tells”? And how do you care for your soul when they show up?
