As a prophet you are not allowed to "choose your words carefully", you must only speak what God has commanded you.
Nothing more and nothing less and without your personal perspective.
2nd Chronicles 20:20
So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established;
believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”
As a prophet it is important that we believe you since our
prosperity is at stake.
You don't seem to care if people believe you or not.
If you are a prophet you should not be "suggesting" you should be boldly proclaiming.
In other words, act like a prophet instead on a dreamer of dreamers.

interesting
I appreciate your words, makes sense to me, I think solid advice.
As for the I don't seem to care if people believe or not... hmmm... I certainly cannot make anyone believe, and being exposed to too much feed back from unbelieving Christians (in my message) can be unproductive at best. (so too much caring or defending can drain me) I should have used better discretion in choosing the arguments I engaged in, another lessoned learned
I think I would care more from afar... or at least if an unbelieving Christian was up for friendly dialogue, and more on my terms (like not seemingly criticism from what should have obvious)
it is certainly encouraging to speak with peaceful Christians, and if I think someone is open to drawing closer to JESUS. I hope I would be there to encourage them.
I certainly hope, I care about this... with me being an instrument of that or not.
I hear you saying in your comment have confidence, in the words I am proclaiming... also excellent advice.
Sometimes us Christians are the hardest to move,,, (in my humble experience, as our cups (positions) seem to be full...myself included) so it usually doesn't take long to find out if a Christian is receptive or not.. unless a seed is planted, who knows such things.
I think I have learned from your comment
I like what you're saying about suggestions, and I seem to take some heat here for suggesting three hours of prayer a day. As The late John Wesley said.
so I will be bolder, I believe three hours of prayer is essential to being a strong Christian.. and this is not exclusive, we must still be avoiding the lusts of the world. & of Course In FellowShip with GOD in JESUS..
that said I do not know each Christian. Or individual Christian's strengths, or their specific Direction from GOD.
As one of the disbelievers of mine said here, it maybe more prayer needed ( than 3 hours) ( three hours was a suggested starting point where one could hopefully get further Revelation from JESUS)
I speak from my vantage point. but if one wants to defend three hours a day of tv, video games, or secular fellowship over prayer. I would say I strongly believe they do not get it, no matter how strong they think they maybe. and three hours of prayer a day, certainly may help them with understanding.
Arguing against prayer, is under the umbrella of one does not get it.. even if you do not like my delivery.
of course this comment is not directed at you.. it was general statements, you said nothing of the sort!
I think there are many Christians here that can help one another, I certainly think I will move on to other fishing holes.
this was an excellent place to test my lures (so to speak)
until that day
I will leave you all with this
It is a serious Thing to serve
THE LIVING GOD, in JESUS GREAT NAME
in love & peace
