FJWL_02:225
         I say to you older generation: Are you living in My Word every second of the day, that your youth may see and feel and witness the fruit of My Word through you? Are you allowing the Word to have free rein in your heart and mind and life, that your children may see? Or are you allowing the cares of this life to choke out the Word, to dampen the Word in your lives? The best of guides is the one who shows the way. And as these young ones see My living Word come alive, as you thrive on it and allow it to move in you, it will spark within them a desire to want the same and to seek the same.
         Therefore hide not My Word under a bushel. Hinder it not. Dampen it not. Pull out the stops! Let it flow in you and through you and around you, richly and fully and completely. As a wide, mighty river, open the floodgates and let it flow! I have poured out My Word without measure, and I would not that you store it behind the dam, but that you open the floodgates and let it flow through you! Stir up the Word that is within you!
         Let it flow in you and through you, fully and without measure, so those around you may see My Word in action. When you walk, when you sit down, when you sleep and when you rise, are you thinking about My Word? Are you acting upon My Word? Are you talking about My Word? Are you meditating on My Word?
         Every man and every woman, lie upon your bed, commune with your own heart, and ask yourself this question: "Am I living, breathing, inhaling, and exuding the Word every moment of the day? Do I freely share the wonderful testimonies of all the Word has done for me? Do I talk about the Word? Do I testify about the Word? Is it obvious to others how I absorb the Word and let it become as the very fibers of my being? Am I pouring forth the Word? Am I myself learning the Word? Am I really making this known? Am I proclaiming the Word at every opportunity throughout my days, through my actions and in my life?" (ML #3072)
