Welcome to Janet's Scribal Corner!
Hello and welcome! I’m Janet Giessl, a disciple and servant of Jesus Christ, wife, mom, teacher, author, Christian Life Coach, Creative Entrepreneur, and Online Business Coach dedicated to sharing faith, inspiration, and creativity in meaningful ways. Here, you will find a collection of my work, from my blogs and devotionals to resources, products, and the marketplaces where I offer unique creations.
As a prophetic and pastoral scribe (seer and feeler), I connect deeply with the Lord through the written word and expressive art. My pen captures His voice as He speaks to me through vivid images and dreams, gifts I steward daily to record, reflect, and share what He places on my heart.
The biblical foundation for the prophetic scribe is rooted in Matthew 13:52 (ESV): "And he said to them, 'Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.'" In Matthew 23:34 (ESV), Jesus declares, "Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes," highlighting the important role of scribes in God’s work. Ezekiel 9:2 describes a man clothed in linen, carrying a writing kit, tasked with marking the foreheads of those who mourn over Jerusalem's abominations, ensuring their protection during judgment. The Book of Ezra emphasizes the restoration of His Word through scribes, and Judges 5:14 (ESV) refers to those who lead with heart and courage: "From Ephraim their root they marched down into the valley." A person with a Scribal Anointing® operates in the gifts of administration, instruction, and creativity - either in one, several, or all of these areas if called to the office of a prophetic scribe.
Following in the Footsteps of Hassophereth – A Present-Day Female Scribe
As a prophetic scribe and born-again Christian woman, I often reflect on what it truly means to be called a scribe in today’s world. My calling doesn’t involve copying scrolls in ancient courts, but it does involve writing words that carry weight, that point to Christ, and that leave a legacy for His glory.
In my studies, I came across a lesser-known but deeply significant figure in the Bible — Hassophereth (הַסֹּפֶרֶת), mentioned in Ezra 2:55 and Nehemiah 7:57. Her name literally means “the female scribe.” She was among those who returned from exile, and though Scripture says little about her directly, her title speaks volumes. She represents the presence and purpose of women who were set apart to write, record, and preserve what mattered most — the things of God.
When I discovered her name, something stirred in my spirit. It was as if the Lord was affirming, “You come from a long line of scribes — Hassophereth was one of them, and you are too.” I may write on blogs, in devotionals, or create printables instead of scrolls — but the heart of the scribe remains the same: to carry the Word of the Lord with reverence, creativity, and obedience.
The Hebrew word for scribe, "sofer" (סֹפֵר), comes from a root meaning to count, recount, and record. The feminine form, "soferet" (סֹפֶרֶת), beautifully expresses the calling of women like Hassophereth — and like me. And perhaps like you.
I am not a scribe of the palace, but I am a scribe of the Kingdom.
I write to bring healing, clarity, encouragement, and truth to a generation that has forgotten who they are in Christ. I write not for recognition but for restoration - helping others return to God’s original design and calling.
If you are a woman who writes under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit — whether through words, art, music, or teaching - you, too, may carry the mantle of a present-day soferet.
Let us rise and take our place.
Let us scribe what the Lord speaks.
Let us remember Hassophereth - and continue what she began.
I added the term "pastoral" to "prophetic scribe" because my calling as a scribe is not only prophetic - delivering God’s messages with divine insight - but also pastoral. It reflects my heart for guiding, teaching, and nurturing others spiritually through my writing, coaching, and creative ministry. My role as a scribe is not just about revelation but also about discipleship and shepherding others in their faith journey.
Through blogs, devotionals, books, printables, and art, I aim to inspire, encourage, and equip others. My creations are expressions of God's insights, touching on healing, joy, and the beauty of walking closely with Him. May Janet's Scribal Corner encourage you to seek God's heart and grow in faith, one inspired word at a time.
Thank you for visiting – I hope you find encouragement, inspiration, and something that speaks to your heart.

I was blessed and led by the Holy Spirit to learn about the Prophetic Scribe from Apostle Theresa Harvard Johnson, who has dedicated her ministry to unveiling the identity and purpose of present-day prophetic scribes. Her teaching on The Scribal Anointing® illuminates the unique calling and office of the prophetic scribe within both personal and corporate contexts, a revelation she has been given by God for the 21st century in 2005.
Apostle Theresa’s guidance has shown me how to embrace my identity as a prophetic scribe, equipping me to walk in my calling with greater understanding and purpose. Inspired by her ministry, I became a student at the School of the Scribe, which she founded. Through this school, Apostle Theresa also supports local ministries, prophetic groups, and churches in establishing “scribe schools” and teams to nurture the gifting of scribes within their communities.
She has also written several books on the Prophetic Scribe, which provide deeper insights into this calling and help scribes understand their calling within God’s Kingdom. Please click on the button below to be forwarded to Apostle Theresa's collection of books about the Prophetic Scribe.
