Dave,

Earlier this year, I bought and read Hearing God’s Voice Made Simple. What a life changing book! The biggest takeaway for me was confidence that I was already hearing God’s voice and I didn’t know it. For the longest time I just thought I was one of those people who “didn’t hear God”.

As a faith exercise, starting in the Spring of 2022, I decided to start praying for prophetic words for people on your “Prophetic Threads” on Telegram.

I would find someone seeking a word, and then spend about 5 minutes or so worshipping and thanking the Holy Spirit for his goodness. I would then ask Him for a word for the person and I would write down the first thoughts (or images) that came to mind. I felt like a crazy person at first but I just rolled with it!

I was astonished, as I started sending these words, when I started to get tremendous positive feedback and comments like “there was no way you could have known this!” It blew me away that I really was hearing God, and I had the ability to share his heart for others.

Doing this gave me the confidence to step out and give my first prophetic word to a stranger “in person” just a few weeks ago. I was trembling and stuttering, but did it anyway, and the woman was blown away with the accuracy and love of God that was conveyed through the message! I was stunned.

I wanted to thank you for your books, but also to share this in the hopes it might encourage other people to step out in the prophetic like I did! My life has not been the same!

Mitch
