FJWL_01:258
         (The Apostle Thomas:) O ye of little faith, wherefore do you doubt? I understand you and I have compassion upon you, for I too had questions. I too had doubts. For I am Thomas, and was labeled with the name "Doubting Thomas." But I have learned much.
         My mind was my enemy. I analyzed every word. The Spirit did bear witness unto me and I was a firm and true believer, but in my pride and vanity and in my mind I suffered torment. In spite of all this, I felt love and was loved, and I have learned and have grown and do testify to all newcomers to the Heavenly Kingdom. Sometimes we laugh about it now, for I no longer doubt or question.
         But I say unto you, if you have faith and if you believe, blessed are ye. May the Spirit of the Lord lead you and guide you. May the warmth of His heart overflow upon you, and may the power of His Word guide you. For in these times He has promised to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, and His sons and daughters shall prophesy. Even though there are many means of confirmation, these are His Words, pure and sweet, admonishing and instructing and loving. I have learned and will be eternally overwhelmed with the glory and the honor and the victory and the majesty of the voice of the Lord in your realm, and in this realm beyond.
         I was shown great love and great forgiveness, and was made an ensample. I have been made an example throughout the years, and I treasure that example because you shall learn from my mistakes. Therefore trust and obey, and hearken unto the voice of my dear Lord, for the Words that He speaks are spirit and life, and I bear record of this. The beauty and the power of His Word does reverberate through the Heavenly City and beyond into the hearts and minds of His children, my beloved brethren, you dear ones. You are frail as I was frail, but learn as I have learned.
         I understand that the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Sometimes you battle with your mind, and you try to analyze and think thoughts that hinder and confuse. But let His Spirit guide you. Let your heart be lifted and let your mind be washed, for His abundant Word shall continue to pour forth over the prophets, through the prophets. Each time you call upon the Name of the Lord He will answer in abundance, for He has much to say to you.
         Therefore, doubt not. Fear not. You shall be cleansed and renewed and strengthened and become greater prophets and finer-tuned instruments, and the static and the distraction of the mind shall be overcome. Therefore hold not back, but give forth as a vessel that is placed beneath the waterfall of His Word which continues to flow from the mountains on high. Be as these vessels and be placed under the waterfall, for this is pleasing in His sight.
         I do rejoice and I do praise with the angels in the Heavenly City! We rejoice and are exceeding glad as you pour forth the Words from the Spirit of God.
