FJWL_02:398
         (Dad:) Prophecy has been around a long time, and the Lord has used men and women throughout the ages to proclaim His truths and to pass on His Words and His messages. At the beginning of the Family we had prophecy, but in these Last Days we're learning more and more about it. We're certainly using it more today than we did in years past. As in all learning, there is always the possibility of mistakes, but even those are not to be worried about.
         Just be like that little baby, who has so much faith and simply sucks, because he knows what he receives is what he needs. Give what you get, continue to pour forth, and don't be discouraged. Be bold and speak the Lord's words. Just always remember to leave yourself open, to have an open mind and an open heart so that you can receive His whispers in the purest form possible. And the key, as always, is humility. Stay humble and meek and use this gift God has given you with a great measure of love. Use it to help and encourage others.
         Continue to exercise your gift and sharpen that skill, for the Lord has need of you and He has great plans for you in the future. Just remember to stay close to Him and to stay humble. Exaltation is usually one of the first signs that we're headed the wrong direction, so if you should suddenly feel that you're very important, ask the Lord to deliver you from such feelings, and to keep you on track.
         Stay dependent on the Lord and continually ask Him to keep you pure, and close to Him and His Word. Immerse yourself in Jesus and His Word so that you can shine even brighter for Him.
