SHAWN: Cause the church sometimes you know gets really mad about you for trying the prophetic but run after trying and it’s trial and error. Because when you get it right you’re going to go “Oh!” And in your spirit like all of a sudden you’re praying for somebody like I just sense your father is sick. Can I pray for him” And they’re like yes and you’re – I know how to feel that now! So when I’m around somebody else I know what’s authentic but sometimes it feels like guessing when you’re trying cause you’re just, you’re revving up your engines. You’re trying to figure it out and the church hasn’t allowed us to have a love, you know, judgment-free zone in this area! And we need to have a “judgment-free zone” so we can take risks! And it’s trial and error. So try to and use lesser language cause if you start out strong or if you’re in a camp that says, “The Lord has told me” and it’s wrong. The Lord has told me March 8th and like and nothing, Oh, like sorry. You know that’s really high stakes. So lower the stakes and say hey, I’m a Christian. I’m getting a spiritual sense from God from His heart that maybe this information means something to you. So lower the stakes. If you don’t feel like God told you don’t say God told me. Lower the stakes and just say I have a spiritual impression inside my heart for you or that may be for you. Can I share it with you” And I’m telling you people cannot wait to hear from you when you get a spiritual impression so just try out something and give yourself lots of grace. So people come to me after five times of trying and say “it doesn’t work!” And I’m like I tried hundreds of times before I built my own confidence in this. So if you’re going to give up after five times you’re done. Okay, if you’re going to give up after five times it’s like I want to be a pianist. How come I can’t be a pianist” I played six times”

SHAWN: Doesn’t that sound ridiculous” Give yourself the grace to grow and track when it’s right! Journal. Like get a little journal and track when it’s right and track when it doesn’t hit. Track what you’re feeling. Track when it was correct, what you were feeling inside, what you were thinking. Maybe the times that you’re getting it the most right like I had one guy tell me I was in the most unbelief before all the times I was getting it the most right. So now whenever I’m in extreme unbelief over what I’m getting inside I know it’s God!
