Those kinds of things don't help someone. It's encouraging someone to speak who really shouldn't. When there are the times when I feel that I really have something, beneficial to share, I will do so. Otherwise, I remain silent. Unfortunately, silence is viewed as something negative.

I know those feelings well. In the GLA, we would usually assign a brother or two (me included) who would prepare an opening and closing word for the prophesying time after the Lord's Table meeting. Whether I opened, closed, or just added my little bit, I always took this time seriously, and would prepare for, at minimum, several hours during the week ahead.
The
HWFMR was like chewing on newspaper -- dead dry and lifeless. I could read it for hours and never benefit from it. But I needed something real and living to speak to others, so I always went back to the scriptures to find the anointing. Who could complain, since I used the same verses?
