In Order To Walk In Answers You Must :
3. Enjoy serving the Lord
Serving the lord without joy is self inflicted punishment. It is better that you are not doing it than for you to undo what you do. Obeying God and then complaining is sabotaging yourself.
SERVING God means serving him as you serve others. It is obeying him. Enjoy serving the lord because man sees the works and God sees the heart. Do not serve God with a transactional mindset. It is ok to keep records as your expression of worship. There are those who keep records to threaten God. They remind God of what they have done in order to ask him for their reward. Your service to God should be your worship to Him. Your service to God must be a thank you to Him.
In order to enjoy serving the Lord you should:
Protect your heart
Protect your focus
Choose joy not matter what
Delight in the lord
Overcome sadness
4. Allow the word of God to dwell in you.
Permit the word of God to not just dwell in your books but in your spirit. Knowing THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT JUST ABOUT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE WORD OF GOD IT IS ABOUT LIVING IT. IF YOU ARE ASKED TO SPEAK OF WORSHIP AND DO not have proof of it means you do not know it. Everybody can hear the word of God but not everyone can receive the word of God. It is not every seed that goes into the soil. The word of God id seed. As the seed is placed on the soil there is some that goes on the soil and some that goes into the soil. Even if it on the soil. The seed could have become a tree but if it does not go into the soil it will never grow. Not everyone truly receives the word of God. It is when the word of God into the heart then we begin to see the reflection through how they act, how they move, how they speak. When the word of God is received. It does something IN you because you received it. A question you should ask yourself is that am i only hearing the word? Or in addition to hearing a i also receiving. You cannot abide in what you receive.
5. Take action on the prophetic word and take action with the prophetic word.
Many of us never really act on the prophetic word. Every prophetic word is a release of grace. Saying Amen to the prophetic word should be the beginning of your prophetic word and not the end. Jesus told peter that it was his time to walk on water. Many believers in this day and age would say amen and remain in the bot.
How to Walk In Your Prophetic Word:
Receive it
Believe it
Behave it
Take Action

You need to know how to react to the prophetic.
