01/23/2021 8:30 a.m. Words heard during prayer:
"The cup of iniquity is full."
"It is time."
"2023 will be the year of your death."
"[my son's name here] will take your house and live here many years. There will be much anguish among believers. Be calm. Stay calm. Believe on the Lord before all people. Write your book. Leave it for a legacy. Be ready. Terror will come. Many will perish. I am the Lord your God. Be holy as I am holy. Run the race. Live in wholesomeness, cleanliness. Let faith take root in your words, in your actions, in your life. For I am the Holy One of Israel who knows and sees all things.
Blessed is the one who exists for 2340 days for he shall be blessed with long life, joy and peace. I love you and I will provide earth, water, electricity. Wait, watch and see. These things will come to pass, just as I told My prophets long ago.
"You will die a peaceful death with your son by your side. Do not worry. I prepare and have prepared places for all My people.
"Look up for your redemption draws nigh.
"You are My people, the sheep of My pasture. Do not be afraid. Show joy in all you do. Speak My words to all who will listen. Give heed to My call.
"Lay down the book. It is finished."
IF this was indeed the Lord, and not a deceiving spirit...
1. It marks the end of a long debilitating illness.
2. He will confirm it with someone.
3. He also said what to do about swelling that a pet is having. I am trying that, but so far, not much has changed. However, I can use that to test what I heard.
4. There will be judgement on corruption in USA. soon?
Notes
1. The word 'wholesomeness' was an alternative to the word He spoke, but I could not discern the exact word. When I told Him that I didn't know what the word was He gave me, He gave me 'wholesomeness' instead.
2. I am writing a book, but I'm not a published writer. It always baffles me when He says, "Write for Me". He requested that I close down my Wordpress site. I did so. I no longer have a platform for writing and recording these things. Now I write for Him and nobody else. He said that the face of the internet is changing. I've asked many times what to do with my writing, and this is finally my answer.
3. I really struggle with pride, so if anyone responds, please do so without feeding my ego.
4. I do not know what 'lay down the book' means.
5. 2,340 days equals more than six years.
Thank you for reading. Thank you Elizabeth Marie for offering a website.

Hi, I wanted to comment on your original post. First of all, good work trying to discern God's voice. Remember, His sheep know His voice. He will help you learn to discern His voice. And that is a continual prayer of mine.
Anyway, God gave me a dream last October that I ought to write a book, so I prayed and asked what it should be (thinking fiction because I always wanted to write an adventure story) but He led me to write my testimony, in literature known as a memoir. There's a great website called Smashwords where you can upload any size book and publish for free! And that is where I put my work if you want to look at it. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1063194
I'm sure God will keep guiding you on your journey.
This is such an interesting conversation to sit and read!
spetersontennis, when I read the book of Daniel through, something that stuck out for me was the fact that Daniel received prophecies while reading the words of the prophets.
Daniel was a Jewish exile who became a prophet while studying the prophets.
Daniel heard from God while submitting to a lengthy fast from "pleasant" foods.
Daniel also cried out to God for answers and consulted no man for answers.
Nebuchadnezzar was a pagan king who heard from God in a dream. He eventually turned his heart to God.
Belshazzar was a pagan king who saw a hand writing a message from God during a party. He never turned to God.
Paul hated and persecuted Christians until he heard from Jesus. It changed the course of his life.
I was repeatedly physically abused by an enemy. My behavior was horrible and insolent toward God. I had found Jesus and abandoned Him and found Him again. It was rough. I began to pray, even while I had little faith. I would ask God why He didn't appear as He did in the Exodus? I asked Him how could I believe in a God who won't part the sea anymore?
I wouldn't recommend doing that on purpose, but I was at life's end as far as I could see. I asked God HARD questions. He gave me a vision which I could not separate from reality. The fact that God would grant me a vision was interesting, fascinating even.
and I was off and running, stumbling, picking back up, after a God and a messiah who both troubled me and infatuated me.
Is there a pattern for hearing from God in that?
If you want to hear from God:
fast and pray, even a "pleasant things" fast, as Daniel did
Study the stories of people like Paul, who heard from God and was inspired to write much of the New Testament. Study the original language as well.
Ask God directly.
Repent. One major repentance is needed for salvation. That's probably the most important repentance for our lives. You are saved once and for all. However, when you really really need to hear from God, repentance is a wonderful way to start. The Lord will never despise a broken spirit or a contrite heart. I hated starting out a repenting session. I avoided it, but I have come to love it.
That's my advice. Also, I have prayed for you. Stay in His word. It seems that He wishes to speak to everyone.
I am in awe of the way you Hear the Lord. I’ve been saved for 22 years, but wholeheartedly seeking the Lord for the last 2 years. I still can’t “hear” anything. Could you recommend and studies or books? I’ve fasted, prayed, sought deliverance, studied and read the Word continuously, anointed with oil, plead the blood, had hands layed on me by elders, etc...........to no avail. Thank you for any direction!
Thank you c-ryn for your thoughtful words.
I understand what you are saying about getting a confusing word. Your thoughts were an "AHA" moment for me. (Likewise, I sensed that the word 'exists' really meant 'stays alive' or even 'thrives' or 'persists'.)
I am not in much sorrow over the illness. I was supposed to have two or three years to live and that was five years ago. God has been good. Life has been rich with events and with joy.
I like your story of the neighbor whom you may have only seen for a few minutes out of each year, and how she impacted your life. It is possible that my book is indeed meant to be read by a very small target audience. That's okay. I just needed to know how to invest my time, and until today, I've been uncertain.
I have mild autism and rarely pick up on dual meanings immediately. Yes, yes, yes, 'lay it down' does have an additional meaning! It could mean 'don't be troubled'. I kept looking in my hands and thinking, "but I'm not holding a book." No, I'm not holding a book in my hands, but I DO have one firmly in my head, and many of its pages are already written. I have everything I need to finish it! I can start laying out the order of the book tomorrow morning! It has a title, a theme, a story line, a message, and all that I need it to have.
Even if I simply leave the book on a table in the cabin until the Spirit that Jesus sent reveals what is next, then I will do that.
Again, thank you.
