an interview with Fran

How did His Word Ministries come to be?

- Over 27 years ago, the Lord spoke to me out of Romans 10:14-15, which says,
"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"

I knew then that the Lord was calling me to go and preach His Word, but it began to come to fruition through one of the hardest times in my life. It was at this time of personal tragedy that everything in me wanted to quit. But the Lord urged me on. He asked, "Are you just going to lay here and die?" I knew that I had to get up and fulfill the call of God on my life, and that was to take His Word to the nations…one heart at a time. That answer to the call is now His Word Ministries.

Why is the ministry's name His Word Ministries and not Fran Schaub Ministries?

- It was the Lord who gave me the name His Word Ministries. It has always been my desire that it be the voice of the Lord speaking when I minister and not my own. It was not that I wanted to make a name for myself but to increase His Kingdom through His Word.

Are prophets the same as psychics?

- No, I am not a psychic, nor is anyone in our ministry. The difference between a prophet and a psychic is all about the source. While psychics and mediums may mention a "god," "higher power," or "power source," they prostitute their so-called giftings for profit and their own gain. They whisper their words from evil spirits and often say only what the person longs to hear. However, a true prophet gets his or her information from the Holy Spirit, is always supported by the Word of God, and never seeks to make money off of their gift by speaking words people want to hear. A true prophet will only say what he or she hears the Father saying.

Can prophets make mistakes?

- Yes, prophets do make mistakes or 'miss it' at times. We are all human. But this is also why it is very important to judge every prophetic word against the Scriptures as the Word commands us to do. No true prophetic word will ever contradict the written, infallible Word of God.

What makes you different from others out there ministering "in the name of the Lord?"

- I am not the only one out there doing the work of the Lord. There are many powerful prophetic voices being raised up in this hour. What makes each of us unique is that we all have a piece of the puzzle. The Word says that "we see in part and know in part." The Lord has been preparing me for years through pastoring and being hidden away for now. Through all of my life experience and walking with the Lord, it has led me to this very moment. My prayer is that I have a 'now word' for the Body of Christ and the nations to bring God glory.

Are you part of a church body?

- Yes! Being involved in the local church is very important. It is just as important for prophets to be under authority and understand how authority in the Kingdom works. My husband Craig and I pastor Spirit of Life Church in Nashville, Tennessee, but we also have our own pastor who we go to for guidance and prayer.

What do you believe in?

- This is a very important question! We believe every word of the Bible as being the very breath of God. To give you a better understanding, please visit our Beliefs page for a Scriptural foundation of our beliefs.

When will you be preaching next?

- The next speaking engagements for the year are listed on the Itinerary page of our website. Please visit this page often, as it is constantly being updated with new events and seminars.

Would you please come to our church and speak?

- We do prayerfully consider wherever the Lord wants us to go. If you are interested in inviting me to come to your church to speak, please have a leader from your church e-mail info@hiswordministries.com and we will respond to your request promptly.
