Every believer can prophesy — that’s the bold, scriptural claim Donne Clement Patruska brings to Day 5 of the Hearing from God series, and I want to share why her story stopped me in my tracks. She grew up watching her father, Kim Clement, speak with pinpoint prophetic specificity — describing a quilt, a sailboat painting, the exact room where a woman had been abused as a child — and yet the whole point of her teaching is that this gift was never meant to stay with one man.
Donne carries something rare: a front-row seat to decades of prophetic fulfillment, including a letter her father wrote to Donald Trump in June 2015 that sat unread through a stroke, a death, and years of political upheaval — only to reach Trump directly while he sat in a New York courtroom, reading words of encouragement written by a man who had been dead for eight years. She’s also direct about what the prophetic is not: it’s not the piano, it’s not the long hair, it’s not copying someone else’s expression. As she puts it plainly, “It is a relationship with God.” Paul says it the same way — 1 Corinthians 12:8-11: the Spirit apportions gifts to each one individually as He wills. Not to one gifted person for everyone else to admire.
What I found most honest in Donne’s teaching is that she doesn’t present the prophetic life as triumphant or effortless. She talks about sitting in her car during a California drought, asking God point-blank why He even made us — and hearing His answer immediately. She talks about carrying words that haven’t made sense yet, and why that discomfort is often confirmation rather than doubt. And she talks about the mantle she received at her father’s deathbed — not as a solo inheritance, but as a picture of mantles raining down on an army, an entire body of believers meant to stand and pray together. Hebrews 10:23-25 says it well: hold fast without wavering, stir one another up, encourage one another. Isolation weakens a word. Unity strengthens it.
If you’ve ever told yourself you’re not the prophetic type, or quietly measured your walk with God against someone else’s and come up short, Day 5 is worth your full attention. Read Donne Clement Patruska’s complete teaching on FaithNFreedom.social.

- What does Donne Clement Patruska teach about the prophetic gift in the Hearing from God series?
- Donne Clement Patruska teaches that the prophetic gift was never meant to belong to one person. While her father Kim Clement carried a prominent prophetic office, she is clear that the Spirit distributes gifts to every member of the body individually, as He wills. Her core message is that every believer can prophesy — not by imitating a gifted leader’s style, but by building a personal, unhurried relationship with God.
- What is the Hearing from God series on Blessed2Teach and FaithNFreedom?
- The Hearing from God series is a multi-day biblical teaching series hosted by Rick Rene on FaithNFreedom.social and Blessed2Teach.com, featuring prophetic voices who each share how God speaks and how every believer can learn to hear Him. Guests include Amanda Grace, Nathan French, Stacy Whited, Meri Crouley, Donne Clement Patruska, and others. The series is rooted in Scripture and designed to equip ordinary believers — not just those with a recognized prophetic office — to walk in the gifts of the Spirit.
- Who was Kim Clement and why does his daughter Donne Clement Patruska teach about him?
- Kim Clement was a prophetic minister who accurately prophesied a Trump presidency more than a decade before it happened, spoke about a Malaysian jet tied to intelligence agencies and concealed technology, and wrote a letter to Donald Trump in 2015 that wasn’t delivered until Trump was sitting in a courtroom years after Clement’s death. Donne teaches about him not to elevate one man’s gift but to demonstrate the opposite — that the specific, verifiable nature of his ministry points to a God who speaks to everyone, not a talent reserved for one.

- What does Donne Clement Patruska say about carrying a prophetic word before it comes to pass?
- Donne teaches that carrying a prophetic word means holding onto what God has shown you even when circumstances around you look like the opposite is true. She points to her father’s letter as a ten-year example of a word sitting dormant before it mattered. The resistance you feel while waiting is often confirmation, not doubt. And no believer is built to carry a word alone — unity among believers, praying and standing together, is what gives a word its full strength over time.
