I had the honour of meeting Linda Straw seven years ago and since that time she has become a valued friend and ministry partner. Linda not only operates strongly in the gifts of the Spirit, but she displays the fruit of the Spirit in equal measure. She ministers in gentleness and honour, creating a place of safety and love to receive what the Lord is releasing through her.

Linda carries a strong prophetic gift and has a passion for helping believers hear the voice of God and operate in the gifts of the Spirit. She is a gifted teacher who imparts so much more than information – she releases grace and impartation to step into new realms of the prophetic.

I highly recommend Linda and would encourage anyone seeking to grow in the prophetic – regardless of what stage of maturity you are currently – to enrol in her courses.

Linda is a radiant daughter of the Most High God who carries Her Father’s heart reflecting His purity, gracious gentleness, loving kindness, clarity and Truth. Her eyes reflect the Holy Spirit’s shining presence and she readily elicits the trust of those we meet with. God’s prophetic revelations through Linda are clear, Biblical and applicable – resonating deeply with us in every meeting.

She is spiritually mature, discerning, wise, faithful, patient and trustworthy. These qualities have been cultivated through deep experiences in nations under crisis, emigration, education, ministry and family life. Linda functions as a beloved prophet of God in our communities and equips the saints – bringing the body of Christ to maturity.

We are very grateful for Linda’s leadership on the Board of PIPES: Partners in Prayer & Evangelism Ltd and her leadership of Pray4Victoria, National Forgiveness Week and significant contributions to Australia Prays. Linda leads weekly gatherings of leaders and intercessors with sensitivity to what the Lord is revealing and the movement of the Holy Spirit. We bless Linda in the new appointments and expanding territories that God is opening for her.

Jo

 

‘Linda has a beautiful teaching and equipping prophetic ministry. Whenever she opens her mouth to prophesy, her words carry the authority and weight of heaven. Her gifting brings vision, direction and revelation to individuals and to the body of Christ. I am blessed to call her friend.’

Lois

 

‘I respect and love Linda as a loving, humble and godly woman; as well, I highly regard her giftedness in the prophetic.

Linda’s insights are accurate and an important part of seeing breakthrough when working together as an intercessory team. Her gift of prophecy is descriptive and always bringing encouragement – both by its accuracy and by its content.’

Pastor Lois Cronin, Melbourne, Australia.

 

Elize

 

‘Linda is brilliant at training people in the prophetic. I loved that we could practice immediately what we had learned. I enjoyed using Linda’s different focus ideas, for example a picture, as a starting point to give someone a prophetic word. It was also fascinating to hear what other people would feel coming from the same idea.

Linda has a way of allowing everyone in the group feel that their contribution is important and that they belong.

I highly recommend doing Linda’s training.’

Christine

‘I have had the privilege of knowing Linda for approximately seven years. During this time, I participated in a prophetic intercession group facilitated by Linda, comprising 6-8 members.
Her preparation and attention to detail, guided by the Holy Spirit, were evident in every session. She delivered her teachings with remarkable clarity, discernment, and compassion, creating a space for both growth and understanding.
Through Linda’s guidance, my ability to see in the Spirit and engage in prophetic intercession has advanced tremendously. Her dedication to this journey and her insightful teaching have had a profound impact on my spiritual development.

I am truly grateful for her leadership and the opportunity to learn under her guidance.’

Anthony

 

‘We have come across many prophetic people, but not many with a heart to mentor others.

I really feel Linda carries that mantle.’

Student and Prophetic Mentoring Hub member

 

Sheryl

‘Linda’s Maturing in the Prophetic program has been instrumental in underpinning my personal growth in the prophetic. She addresses several spheres in the prophetic realm that can become confusing without having a trustworthy mentor to give guidance and reassurance. Her program covers topics that cover the pitfalls of the prophetic, also giving the opportunity to debrief concerning questionable experiences. The group setting is a safe space to ask questions, make mistakes and receive feedback from others in the learning process. Linda normalizes the anxiety in the risk taking related to giving a prophetic word while providing quality learning materials and assignments. I highly recommended her courses for anyone serious about authentic growth in the prophetic.’

Student and Mentoring Hub Member

Sarah

 

‘Linda carries God’s love and authority, and this was also reflected in the way her students prophesied and encouraged my group. In addition the presentation and calibre of words released through her students brought confirmation and blessing.

I am very appreciative of what Linda brings to the table for God’s kingdom and glory.’

Sarah Chew – Awakening Heart Journeys

 

Tana

 

‘I found Linda’s sensitivity and discernment really comforting. At no time did I feel anxious or stressed about what was happening, she explained every step clearly so the instructions from her were always very clear and understandable.

I loved how she prayed and encouraged me to use my own words, not putting words in my mouth but leaving enough space for me to process and to word my requests and desires very clearly in my own language. Linda’s prophecy encouraged me so that my decisions would be in line with the Word of God, and always bringing the Holy Spirit into what we were talking about for guidance and comfort.’

‘I found the Foundations of the Prophetic course wonderful and surprising that what I was saying was actually correct when giving prophecies.’

‘The homework has been very helpful for us to practice and exercise our prophetic gifts.

I think doing the tasks each week helps us practice the prophetic as a lifestyle.’

Elaine

‘I appreciated Linda covering every aspect as it was all new to me.

I particularly appreciated the activations, as the practice helped me to actually LEARN.’

Linda Straw is a valuable member of the National Forgiveness Week initiative and is a director on the Board of Partners in Prayer and Evangelism, which runs National Forgiveness Week, Australia Prays (formerly known as National Day of Prayer and Fasting) and Pray For Victoria.

She is a seer who contributes accurate prophetic insights into many difficult situations which she has been asked to pray about, and I’ve learnt, over the years,  to value her input and trust her discernment. In the National Forgiveness Week team, she is a consistent source of God’s visionary counsel and wisdom, guiding our paths as we work and pray together for a number of nations across Oceania, including Australian Aboriginals, as they practise forgiveness in remote regions of the Northern Territory.

Linda is more than a pray-er: she is a clear thinker who sows into the Kingdom of God in many practical ways, which bears testimony to her spiritual integrity.

She is a responsible and honourable Christian with a deep love of Jesus, evident to all who have come to know her, and I commend her and her Apples of Gold initiative to those seeking to hear from God and act upon what He says.

Rob Warren

National Forgiveness Week

I have known Linda for many years. Together, with our families, we attended Stairway Church in Melbourne.

As a member of staff, I was actively involved in the prayer ministry and prayer teams and worked closely with Linda. Linda brought maturity and faithfulness to the team but especially, Linda brought and released the presence of God.

I have been deeply blessed through being a participant in Linda’s Apples of Gold prophetic training course. Linda is a skilled teacher and trainer. Her aim is to teach her participants the principles of receiving and expressing prophetic words and to develop this gift with practical exercises and homework.

Linda treats every student with honour and kindness and is always available to encourage, train and give feedback to students privately.

Linda continually seeks to develop her own outstanding prophetic gift and has been mentored by well-known and trusted people who move in the gift of prophecy or office of prophet.

Linda has a rich knowledge of the Word of God and provides a sound and safe learning environment and course.
