The Lord is teaching me through His prophet.
Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses—yes, the very longings of your heart. And then listen! Write the thoughts that come to your mind. Record your feelings and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take. As you repeat this process day after day, month after month, year after year, you will “grow into the principle of revelation.”
…
To be sure, there may be times when you feel as though the heavens are closed. But I promise that as you continue to be obedient, expressing gratitude for every blessing the Lord gives you, and as you patiently honor the Lord’s timetable, you will be given the knowledge and understanding you seek. Every blessing the Lord has for you—even miracles—will follow. That is what personal revelation will do for you.
I can’t imagine any more clear and concise set of instructions than “1) Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about…the very longings of your heart. And then 2) listen! 3) Write the thoughts that come to your mind. Record your feelings and 4) follow through with actions that you are prompted to take.”
This is the next step in leveling up my prayers. I need to start a prayer journal.
