JESUS SPEAKING IN PROPHECY:
My beloved children, I’m the One that sticks closer than a brother. I’m always with you, always there for you. So it’s to your advantage to use every opportunity you can to counsel with Me, to bring Me into every decision that needs to be made. That’s one reason I’m there, so close to you, a part of your very thoughts–so you can ask Me about all aspects of your life and hear from Me in prophecy.
It can be the same as asking anyone else who’s near you at the time if they have any ideas or any advice. It doesn’t have to be a big ordeal or a long, drawn-out thing. It doesn’t have to be something where you go into your closet every time to hear from Me in prophecy. There are times when it’s good to set aside special times and ask Me for My counsel at length. But this isn’t practical all the time, and it would be impossible to do this for every aspect of every situation that you want My help with.
Hearing from Me in prophecy can become a natural and easy thing for you to do by simply asking Me on the spot. Simply speak to Me as you would anyone else. Ask Me whatever you want to ask, whatever you have to make a decision about. I’m there, and I’ll know what the decision is about. You can just ask Me for the answer, the solution, for the help that you need, the decision that needs to be made. You’ll then just have to pause and wait for Me to answer you, let Me have time to speak to your heart in prophecy.
The wait which you undergo is determined by many things–by your receptivity to My voice, by the conditions or confusion around you, which create static, by the Enemy’s attacks on My important messages, by your own yieldedness to the answer I would give, and how practiced you are at recognizing My voice. For those who are accustomed to hearing from Me in this way, the wait will normally be brief. This is why I spoke of it as a pause. I’ll be there for you if you expect it of Me and you give Me the chance.
As you’re working on something or contemplating something, always be aware that I’m there with you–there to help you, there to counsel with you, there to give the answers, to help you with the decisions you need to make, giving you the answers that you need. This can become a very natural part of your way of being. Know that I’m always there. Expect My help, and I will not fail you. When you ask, the answers will come. The more you practice, the easier it becomes.
Hearing from Me in prophecy doesn’t have to be something that you dread doing because it takes so long, because it doesn’t have to take long. It should be something that you’re comfortable with, and actually something that you are very uncomfortable without! You need to become dependent upon it. As things wax worse and worse in the future, as I have told you, you’ll need to be able to hear My direct Words in prophecy in an instant, and now is the time to practice.
Always be asking Me what you should do, how you should do it, when you should do it, where you should be, what you should be doing. Always ask Me everything, and as you receive My answers and obey them, you’ll be able to walk down the center of My will, pleasing Me, being at peace with yourself, knowing you’re doing your best and that you’re doing what I want you to do.
